Chapter 675: The First Divine Position

When he killed Lin Guangdong and Jiang Hanguang, Qin Feng had already made preparations, specifically using a clone to create a perfect alibi.

Combined with his perfect state of mind and the Supreme Secret Technique from the *Primordial Heart Demon Scripture*, it was impossible to find any flaws—not through an interrogation of his heart, and not even by using a Supreme Secret Technique to peer through heaven, earth, and time.

Wei Changming, who was activating the Nine Sceneries Dividing Primordial Spirit Mirror Secret Technique, felt it most directly.

There wasn’t a single flaw in Qin Feng’s heart.

According to the Secret Technique, even with the most skilled liars, the heart revealed by the Divine Mirror Secret Technique would show at least a slight ripple.

However, Qin Feng’s heart was as clear as crystal and utterly flawless. The Spiritual Light it emanated was pure and candid.

He frowned and, with a soft snort, reversed the *Nine Sceneries Dividing Primordial Spirit Mirror* to trace events back to their source.

This was a Forbidden Divine Ability that involved time. Not only did activating this Secret Technique place a great burden on him, but it also risked damaging the target’s True Soul.

However, for some unknown reason—perhaps influenced by the rampant rumors—Wei Changming harbored an unshakable suspicion of Qin Feng.

This stemmed from his Saint Dao.

He cultivated the *Cyan Blood and Dark Nether Scripture*; its “cyan blood” represented supreme impartiality, and he trusted his intuition.

Qin Feng clearly felt the traces of temporal power, and his True Soul began to sink involuntarily. A flash of anger crossed his face. This time-based Secret Technique was prying into the deepest secrets of his soul.

‘This is going too far! Does that old bastard really think I’m a pushover?’ The coldness in Qin Feng’s eyes was like a razor’s edge, sharp enough to slash through the sky.

‘Break!’

Qin Feng directly summoned the Abyssal Demon Map. A fragmented section of the map flew out, manifesting a sliver of the true will he possessed when traversing Endless Space-Time. A terrifying storm of Space-Time tore through the Endless Void, surging through the psychic link of the Divine Ability and slamming into Wei Changming’s Holy Soul.

BOOM!

A look of absolute horror flashed in Wei Changming’s eyes. The terrifying concept of Space-Time forcibly flooded the depths of his Holy Soul. In an instant, his entire Holy Soul was nearly overwhelmed by this power.

CRACK! CRACK!

His Holy Soul nearly shattered!

The concept of Space-Time… It was a Forbidden Power—a forbidden Domain that even Demon Gods regarded with the utmost dread.

THUMP!

Wei Changming’s footing faltered for an instant. He slammed his foot down, leaving an imprint several inches deep in the earth.

“Brother Wei?” Su Qin exclaimed in shock.

“Qin Feng, what did you do?” Hua Zixu had already lunged forward, his expression savage, ready to attack. But in the next moment, his body froze. Qin Feng rose to his feet and suddenly appeared right in front of him. A frenzied, world-slaughtering killing intent, like a great saber capable of slaying gods and demons, slammed into Hua Zixu’s mind.

A bone-deep chill forced Hua Zixu to an involuntary halt.

He had a gut feeling that if he made another move, something terrible would happen.

With a flicker of movement, Su Qin appeared in front of Hua Zixu, staring coldly at Qin Feng.

“Don’t take things too far, young man!”

A hint of a threat flashed in his eyes!

Qin Feng was livid. “‘*I’m* going too far? You brazenly used a Secret Technique to probe the True Soul of a True Disciple based on nothing more than suspicion, and you think *that’s* not going too far?'”

The True Soul is the very foundation of a Martial Arts Strongman! The slightest mistake could destroy that foundation completely!

The expressions of Cang Yu, the General of the Curtain, and Nine Elements True Monarch changed slightly.

Nine Elements True Monarch looked at the members of the Supervision Hall, his expression dark. “Brother Wei, Brother Su, have your methods not gone too far? Qin Feng is a True Disciple of the Star Sect!”

The Supervision Hall’s methods angered them. They felt a sense of shared vulnerability—the fox mourning the rabbit’s death. Qin Feng’s status was far from that of a common Inner Sect Disciple.

Using such cruel methods against a True Disciple who was merely under a sliver of suspicion…

If even a True Disciple was treated this way, what hope did anyone else in the sect have?

‘The Ancestral Masters have been far too lenient with the Supervision Hall. We must ask the Supreme Elders and the Peak Elders to restrict their power!’ Nine Elements True Monarch and Cang Yu exchanged a look, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.

They couldn’t be sure that the Supervision Hall’s methods wouldn’t one day be used on them.

The idea that the high-and-mighty True Disciples, and even the Supreme Elders, were subject to supervision was one thing in theory. But it was far less pleasant to imagine it actually happening to them!

Su Qin frowned as he glanced at the expressions on Nine Elements True Monarch and Cang Yu. A powerful undercurrent was stirring within the Star Sect.

Many of the sect’s powerful figures believed the Supervision Hall should be abolished, or at the very least, have its power checked.

Qin Feng’s expression was grim. The Supervision Hall was even more tyrannical than he’d imagined. If not for his Abyssal Fragment Map, he would have been forced to swallow this humiliation.

However, seeing the looks on the faces of Nine Elements True Monarch and Cang Yu, Qin Feng knew the Supervision Hall had likely already provoked widespread resentment within the Star Sect.

“We’re leaving!” Realizing they could go no further, Su Qin supported Wei Changming, whose eyes were still closed. He shot Qin Feng one last, piercingly cold glare, and then the group departed in silence.

Hua Zixu’s eyes burned with resentment. Remembering the cold, stunning figure in red, he felt a pang in his chest as if bitten by a venomous snake. His gaze turned exceptionally sinister.

‘Qin Feng, you got lucky this time, but I, Hua Zixu, am not done with you. I refuse to believe you’re clean! Don’t you dare let me find any dirt on you…’ Jealousy burned like a fire in his heart as Hua Zixu turned and departed.

“Qin Feng, you handled that well. To be honest, we were hoping you weren’t involved in this matter. For now, the suspicion on you has been temporarily lifted, but you’re not completely in the clear yet. The people from the Supervision Hall may be tyrannical, but their methods are truly formidable!”

Nine Elements True Monarch walked up to Qin Feng. “Watch your step. Also, because the position of Peach Blossom Stronghold’s Chief is vacant, we will select a new Chief in ten days. You were originally just a Cave Master, and according to the rules, you are not qualified to compete for the position of Chief. However, since you don’t belong to any Mountain Lord’s faction, an exception can be made!”

“In ten days, we at Shaoyang Stronghold will petition the Heavenly King Palace. A mission will then be issued. As per the old rules, the first person to complete the mission will become the next Chief of Peach Blossom Stronghold!”

As he said this, Nine Elements True Monarch glanced at Qin Feng.

With a single step, his figure vanished. Cang Yu disappeared along with him. The latter had been a silent escort from beginning to end, not uttering a single word.

Only after the group had vanished did Qin Feng finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

In truth, Qin Feng was still quite wary of the Supervision Hall.

The Supervision Hall possessed many unimaginable techniques. If they were to unleash their full arsenal, he wasn’t certain he could withstand it.

Fortunately, the two factions within the Star Sect kept each other in check, so the Supervision Hall ultimately dared not act too outrageously.

‘The Supervision Hall might continue to harass me in the future, but it will never be as dangerous as it was today!’

‘I’ve passed this crisis for now. I must accelerate my Cultivation speed!’

Qin Feng wasn’t overly concerned with the immediate crisis. After refining the True Spirit Pearl, however, another matter came to his mind.

The Golden Era was about to begin. The curtain had been raised on its prelude, but its official start would be marked by the emergence of a Divine Position.

It was the emergence of this Divine Position that would truly usher in the Era of Great Contention!

Following the emergence of this Divine Position, numerous others would appear in succession. Countless ancient experts would come out of seclusion, all vying for those Divine Positions.

‘My own strength is still far too weak,’ Qin Feng thought. ‘With my current power, seizing a Divine Position would be incredibly difficult!’

‘Even if I managed to seize one, if I couldn’t refine it immediately, it would be nothing but a death warrant.’
