Chapter 660 The sky is about to change in the Land of Sin!

Qin Changsheng's words stunned Lin Dong and the others.

"Split up? Why split up? Wouldn't it be better if we went in together and looked out for each other?"

Lin Dong scratched his head, still somewhat puzzled.

There are 10,000 slots for advancement in the spirit realm this time, aren't there?

Even if they do meet at that ancient altar, they can avoid fighting amongst themselves!

"You may not understand what I'm saying..."

Qin Changsheng shook his head and patiently explained, "The first stage of the Spirit Realm Trial is a free-for-all. Everyone will be teleported to the same huge space. If you go in together, it will be easy for other participants to see you as a team and target you. Moreover, the ranking of the Spirit Realm Trial is based on individual performance. If you are together, you will affect each other and limit your performance."

"More importantly... each state has its own Supreme Ancient Altar. If you enter the Spirit Realm from different states, you will be assigned to different battlefields. This way, you won't bump into each other in the early stages and be eliminated prematurely. You will only reunite in the later arena battles."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong suddenly realized: "I see. Then let's split up and fight our own battles, and regroup later!"

Luo Feng nodded in agreement: "Clan Chief Qin is right. Splitting up will indeed allow each of us to make the most of our abilities."

Han Li chimed in, "I also think this is a safer approach. Spreading out means that at least we won't have to fight each other first due to bad luck."

Qian Renxue, Qingyi, Fengwu, Shi Hao, and others nodded in agreement.

Zhu Chen stood to the side, remaining silent.

Just then, Qin Changsheng suddenly took out an ancient-looking map from his sleeve and spread it on the stone table.

This map marks the various regions of the three thousand provinces, with mountains, rivers, cities, and territories clearly visible.

"The area around the Five Elements State connects to several other states."

Qin Changsheng pointed to several marks on the map and said, "Here are Tianzhou, Lingzhou, Youzhou, Mingzhou, and... Zuizhou."

When he said the words "Sinful State," he paused slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Lin Dong leaned over to look at the map, then casually pointed and said, "Then I'll go to Tianzhou!"

Luo Feng immediately chose one: "I'll go to Lingzhou."

Han Li thought for a moment, then pointed to Youzhou and said, "Then I will go to Youzhou."

Qian Renxue chose Mingzhou.

Qingyi and Fengwu chose two adjacent small states!

Qin Hao chose the other one.

Just as Shi Hao was about to choose a prefecture, Zhu Chen stopped him.

"Brother Zhu Chen, what's wrong?"

Shi Hao turned to look at Zhu Chen and asked.

Zhu Chen walked to the map, stretched out his hand, and pointed to an area marked in red on the map.

That place is... a land of sin.

"Go here..."

Shi Hao was taken aback: "Sinful Prefecture? Why?"

Zhu Chen looked at him and said seriously, "Sin is a gathering place for more than thirty clans, led by the Stone Clan and the Fire Clan. These clansmen and their descendants are recognized by the major religions of the Upper Realm as descendants of the Sin Blood, hence the name Sin State."

"And you have the blood of the Stone Clan flowing in your veins. You are going to the Sinful State not only to participate in the Spirit Realm Trial, but also to represent the lower realm and those cultivators who have been slandered as having 'sinful blood' to prove yourself."

"Furthermore, you can also protect those young monks who are still struggling in the Sin State. They need someone to stand up and vindicate them."

Shi Hao fell silent after hearing Zhu Chen's words.

Suddenly, he recalled the mockery he had received from cultivators of the upper realms when he was in the lower realms. Sinful blood, ants, mounts, the humanoid herbs in the herb garden…

"Okay, I'll go to the Sin State."

Shi Hao clenched his fist, a determined glint in his eyes.

Zhu Chen's lips curled up slightly: "Don't worry, I'll go with you."

Shi Hao was taken aback when he heard this: "You're going too?"

Zhu Chen said calmly, "Although I can't participate in the Spirit Realm Trial, I can keep an eye on things from the outside. The situation in Sin State is quite complicated, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone."

A warm feeling welled up in Shi Hao's heart, and he nodded heavily: "Alright, then let's go to the Sinful State together!"

Looking at the scene before him, Qin Changsheng was filled with emotion.

He didn't say much, but took out two teleportation tokens from his sleeve and handed them to Zhu Chen and Shi Hao.

"These are teleportation tokens to the Sin State. The Sin State is far from the Five Elements State and requires multiple transfers. These two tokens can take you directly to the main city of the Sin State, saving you a lot of trouble."

Zhu Chen accepted the token, clasped his hands in thanks to Qin Changsheng, and said, "Then thank you very much, Clan Chief Qin."

Qin Changsheng waved his hand: "You are all distinguished guests of the Qin clan, this little matter is nothing to mention, but..."

At this point, Qin Changsheng's gaze suddenly turned serious: "All the major sects have strongholds in the Sin Province. They monitor the descendants of 'Sin Blood' very closely. When you go there, you must be careful, especially Shi Hao. Your identity is special, and if it is exposed, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Shi Hao nodded: "Don't worry, Clan Chief Qin, I will be careful."

Zhu Chen smiled calmly: "With me here, nothing will happen."

Looking at Zhu Chen's confident smile, Qin Changsheng suddenly felt much more at ease.

This young man can even withstand the Five Elements Mountain. With him by Shi Hao's side, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Then I wish you a safe journey."

Qin Changsheng nodded slightly and said no more.

Zhu Chen and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, then turned and walked toward the teleportation array leading to the Sin State.

Lin Dong and the others bid each other farewell and set off for their chosen states.

Qin Changsheng stood in the center of the square, watching the last ray of light dissipate from the teleportation array, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the teleportation array leading to the Sin State.

"The Province of Sin...it seems the heavens there are about to descend into chaos..."

Qin Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Shi Ziling suddenly stepped forward and asked Qin Changsheng in a low voice, "Clan leader, do you think Hao'er can gain a foothold in the Sin Prefecture?"

Qin Changsheng did not answer his question immediately, but remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "That child's potential far exceeds our imagination, and with Fellow Daoist Zhu Chen by his side, even if those ancient sects want to harm him, they will have to think twice..."

Shi Ziling nodded and didn't continue.

After all, Zhu Chen's combat strength was beyond that of an ordinary sect leader.

Although things are chaotic in Zuizhou, as long as the other party is there, his son Shi Hao's safety should be guaranteed!

"This year's battle of geniuses is destined to be extraordinary. I hope that the brothers Shi Hao and Qin Hao can shine in this battle of geniuses..."

Qin Changsheng murmured softly, gazing in the direction of Zuizhou, his eyes filled with anticipation.
