Ever since Yun Yao warned Ji Tianxing, he had been on guard for the past few days.
Not only was he on guard against the people from the Duanmu and Murong families, but he was also on guard against the other princes who approached him rashly.
In fact, even when he was cultivating or sleeping in the Skyair Palace, he was constantly on guard.
Although there weren't any guards or experts guarding the huge Heavenly Palace, there were still many of them.
But in the past few days, he had set up powerful Tianyuan Formations everywhere in the palace.
With his attainments in formations, the Tianyuan Formations he set up were very powerful. They were enough to fight and kill low-level Tianyuan powerhouses.
The ubiquitous Tianyuan Formations were much more effective than the guards.
Of course, Yan 'er knew about Ji Tianxing's plan and the deployment he had made over the past few days.
He frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he whispered to Ji Tianxing, "Senior Brother Tianxing, you've been planning for a few days and made sufficient preparations.
It's a pity that the black-clothed assassin didn't manage to sneak in and was stopped by another black-clothed man.
However, the second black-clothed man who appeared was lurking outside Tianxing Palace. He seemed to be protecting us and helping us block the assassin.
I wonder who that person is? Or, who sent him here? "
Ji Tianxing also looked puzzled. He nodded slightly and said, "That's right. We have to investigate the identity of the second black-clothed man as soon as possible.
We don't have any other friends in the Emperor Palace other than Senior Sister. Who would secretly protect us? "
Yan 'er pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then, he whispered, "Senior Brother, the only answer I can think of is Senior Sister.
I don't think anyone else would send anyone to protect us other than her, right? "
Ji Tianxing pondered for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "Not necessarily! If Senior Sister wanted to help us, she could have just told us. Why would she send someone to protect us secretly?
Besides, the second black-clothed man was a Tianyuan powerhouse. How could Senior Sister mobilize a Tianyuan powerhouse to protect us?
She only has one Sky Origin Stage cultivator by her side and he is the leader of the guards arranged by the Cloud Spirit Palace. He only listens to the Cloud Spirit Palace … "
Yun Yao had always been in the Sky Pillar Sect, so she didn't have any trusted aides or guards by her side.
Even if she wanted to mobilize Sky Origin Stage experts from Cloud Spirit Palace to secretly protect Tianxing Palace, the Yun family might not agree.
Sky Origin Stage cultivators were not cabbages. Even in the ancient clans, they were the mainstays. How could they be ordered around?
Yan-er listened to Ji Tianxing's explanation and immediately understood the key point.
However, this made him even more confused.
"Senior Brother Tianxing, if it wasn't Eldest Senior Sister's men, then who could it be?"
Ji Tianxing frowned and shook his head, saying in a deep voice, "I can't think of anyone who would secretly help us.
Now that we are in the open, those who want to deal with us and those who want to help us are all in the dark.
The water in the imperial residence is getting muddier and muddier. We have to investigate it as soon as possible so that we can seize the opportunity. "
"Yes." Yan-er nodded with a firm expression, full of confidence in him.
Ji Tianxing patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "That black clothed assassin was stopped. He won't take the bait again tonight.
Yan-er, go back and rest. "
After that, the two left the room and returned to their respective residences.
Ji Tianxing returned to his room and sat cross-legged on his bed, silently cultivating.
Now that he had his own spirit vein and cave, the biggest benefit was that he didn't have to worry about cultivation resources.
Tianxing Palace had an endless amount of Spirit Qi, which allowed him to cultivate with twice the result with half the effort.
Even the Burial Of Heaven in Kenshin's tomb could continuously absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to speed up the recovery of his strength.
Tianxing Palace was located above the spring of the spirit vein, so the Spirit Qi was extremely abundant.
There was also a super large array set up in the cave, which gathered the Spirit Qi from all directions, causing the Spirit Qi in the palace to form five-colored Spirit Clouds.
As soon as Ji Tianxing started to practice cultivation, the five-colored clouds above the palace turned into wisps of five-colored spirit mist that poured into his body in an endless stream.
The incomparably pure Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth turned into surging Vital Essence and surged violently in the Sword Palace in his body.
He cultivated the Eighth Level of the Path of the Sword Heart. While constantly tempering the Sword Palace, he also allowed the Sword Embryo to gradually grow and strengthen, accumulating more and more Vital Essence.
"The Eighth Level of the Path of the Sword Heart is to temper the body to the extreme and reach the limit of strength.
Only when the body reaches the limit and is fully prepared can I cultivate the Ninth Level of the Path of the Sword Heart and merge with the Sword Heart.
In addition, I have to master the wood and earth elemental energy as soon as possible so that I can gather the power of the five elements and increase my strength faster … "
Ji Tianxing silently calculated in his heart. He had already made preparations and arrangements for his future cultivation plan and steps.
After a while, he entered a state of emptiness and concentrated on cultivating, forgetting the passage of time.
Two days passed quickly.
On the morning of the third day, Ji Tianxing was still meditating in the room, surrounded by five-colored Spirit Qi.
At this moment, Yan 'er came to the door and called softly, "Senior Tianxing, are you in the room?
Senior Martial Brother, here's an invitation for you … "
Ji Tianxing was awakened by Yan 'er's voice. He ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.
He was still sitting on the green jade bed. He waved his hand and released a ray of Spirit Qi to open the door.
"Yan 'er, what's the matter? Come in."
Yan 'er hurriedly walked into the room, holding a sandalwood box inlaid with gold and jade in both hands and handed it to him.
"Senior Tianxing, just now a black-armored guard from the Imperial Residence came to the gate of the Tianxing Palace and handed this box to me.
The guard said that there was an invitation inside and asked me to hand it to you. "
"An invitation from the Imperial Residence's guard?" Ji Tianxing frowned in confusion. He reached out and took the sandalwood box, holding it in the palm of his hand and looking at it.
"Who sent the invitation? Why would they put it in such a luxurious box?"
As he said, he waved his hand and released a ray of Spirit Qi to unlock the simple array on the sandalwood box.
Then, he opened the sandalwood box and took out a red-stamped invitation.
He flipped open the luxurious and exquisite invitation card and carefully read its contents.
After ten breaths of time, he finished reading the contents of the invitation. Suddenly, his face changed slightly and he frowned.
Yan 'er had been looking at him with a puzzled face. Seeing his strange expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior Tianxing, what's wrong? Who sent this invitation card? "
Ji Tianxing closed the invitation, put it back into the sandalwood box, and put it into the Space Ring.
He replied with a normal expression, "Long Yunxiao."
"Long Yunxiao?" Yan 'er became more and more confused and asked, "Hasn't the Emperor been healing and didn't return to the Imperial Residence? Why did he send you an invitation? "
Ji Tianxing got up and walked to the door. He said calmly, "In three days, he will choose a Heavenly Consort at the Enlightening Heaven Pagoda in the Imperial Court. He invited me to attend the ceremony."
Yan 'er's expression suddenly changed. She muttered in a serious tone, "What should come will come. The Emperor is finally going to choose a consort …"
