Chapter 1411: Insights from a Previous Life

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the group was taken aback.

"Daoist Friend Tianyu, what do you mean..."

Biyan'er asked with a hint of hesitation on her face.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Earlier you said, Xuan Valley is the only way to reach the end of the Secret Realm?"

Biyan'er nodded, "That's right, there is only one path to the end of the Secret Realm, and one must pass through Xuan Valley."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and continued to ask, "Then how big is the entrance to Xuan Valley?"

Biyan'er was stunned, as if she didn't know why Wang Jianqiang was suddenly asking this, but she still responded earnestly, "According to the calculations from the maps I obtained, the diameter of the Xuan Valley entrance does not exceed ten miles."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's eyes immediately lit up, "It doesn't exceed ten miles? That's very small; that makes things much easier."

"Daoist Friend Tianyu, what are you saying? What makes things easier?" Biyan'er was even more confused.

Lianyin, Jiayue, Mingchen, and Lie Kong also revealed expressions of doubt.

Facing the gazes of the group, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Collect Mysterious Bead fragments, traverse Xuan Valley, climb the mountain at the end of the Secret Realm, and ascend the Heavenly Ladder."

"This method of winning is too troublesome."

"Since Xuan Valley is the only way to the end of the Secret Realm, why don't we just guard the canyon entrance, wait for the other teams to come to us, and take them out one by one?"

"Once all nine other teams are dealt with by us, even if we don't go to the end of the Secret Realm, this Saintess position will be ours for the taking."

"I was worried before that if the Xuan Valley entrance were too large, it would be hard to block completely, but now..."

"If it's only under ten miles, I can guarantee that even a fly will absolutely not be able to pass through our blockade!"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Biyan'er, Lianyin, Jiayue, Mingchen, and Lie Kong were suddenly stunned.

You can play it like this?

As prodigies of great clans, they had experienced countless assessments and trials.

But every time, it was by the book, following established rules to achieve final victory one by one.

A method like this, breaking the rules and not playing by the book...

Let alone trying it, they hadn't even thought of it.

It wasn't that this plan was so brilliant, but that they had lived in an environment full of strict rules since childhood, and everything they had seen and heard since was also within various constraints.

Their thinking had been solidified, and they would instinctively act according to the rules.

They no longer had the consciousness to jump outside the rules.

This solidification was like being separated by a single layer of window paper, seemingly easy to break through.

Often, it only takes a moment of sudden enlightenment, or a simple word of guidance, to poke through it.

But this layer of window paper is also like a barrier separating two worlds.

Without opportunity, one will never touch it.

Thinking of this, the five of them felt a stir in their hearts simultaneously.

They seemed to have realized something.

Cultivation is the process of jumping out of the restrictions of various heavenly and earthly rules and continuously strengthening oneself.

This kind of thinking that is not limited by rules aligns with the Dao of cultivation.

In terms of cultivation, it is of great significance.

It is enough to benefit them infinitely.

"As expected of Daoist Friend Tianyu, such a realm of thought is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Jiayue was the first to come back to her senses, and the look she gave Wang Jianqiang was filled with intense reverence.

Hearing Jiayue's voice.

Lianyin and Biyan'er then came back to their senses, and they also looked at Wang Jianqiang with expressions of admiration.

Immediately following.

Lie Kong and Mingchen also came back to their senses.

Lie Kong looked at Wang Jianqiang, a flash of complexity crossing his face.

On Mingchen's face, the complexity was even deeper, and then, when he noticed the admiration on the faces of Lianyin, Biyan'er, and Jiayue, this complexity immediately turned into jealousy.

Damn it!

He got to show off again!

Sensing the adoration on the faces of the three women—Lianyin, Jiayue, and Biyan'er—the complexity in Lie Kong's expression, and Mingchen's jealousy.

Wang Jianqiang felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

This kind of thinking, unbound by rules, was not something he was born with an enlightenment for.

The reason he was able to develop this thinking, unbound by rules, was thanks to those many experiences of skipping class in his previous life.

Nine-year compulsory education is indeed very useful!

"This trip is too dangerous, you five should just find a safe place to hide for now; when the competition ends, I will send word to you."

After the proposal of Wang Jianqiang was unanimously passed, Biyan'er turned to look at those five Integration Mid-Stage Cultivators.

The five were only brought along temporarily to make up the numbers; although Biyan'er had guaranteed before the competition started that she wouldn't need them to fight, they were still extremely uneasy after entering this Secret Realm.

Upon hearing Biyan'er's words at this moment, they all let out long sighs of relief.

Without a shred of hesitation, they quickly moved away.

Regarding this, Biyan'er's expression remained as usual.

This couldn't be blamed on them.

The level of this Saintess Position Competition was too high.

Excluding her team, those participating in this battle were likely all at least at the Integration Late Stage level.

At the Integration Mid-Stage here, one is the most bottom-tier existence; a single moment of carelessness, and not even a speck of dust will remain.

"Biyan'er, lead the way."

"Go to the entrance of Xuan Valley."

After the five people left, Wang Jianqiang looked at Biyan'er.

Biyan'er nodded and flew out first.

Just as Wang Jianqiang and the others were flying straight toward the entrance of Xuan Valley.

The outside world.

On the Square of the Jade Clam Clan, the numerous guests had already fallen into silence.

After a good while.

The crowd finally came back to their senses, then one after another revealed strange expressions, all looking toward the Mermaid Clan's side in unison.

The teams in the Secret Realm were under the constant surveillance of the crystal Stone Stele.

Tianyu's scheme naturally fell into the ears of everyone present.

In everyone's impression, the Mermaid Clan had always been a symbol of purity and integrity.

For countless years, there had never been an exception.

But now...

The appearance of Tianyu had broken this ironclad rule.

This guy not only disregarded the rules, but he also seemed extremely devious!

At this moment, even Bei Lingyun, as the host, could not help but look at Mingyan with a face full of strangeness.

Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Mingyan felt a wave of embarrassment in her heart.

She cursed inwardly.

That bastard Tianyu had not only ruined her, but now he was actually going to make her and the entire Mermaid Clan take the blame.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Everyone, which team do you think can seize the final victory?"
