After Elder Feng left, Xing Jue returned to his room. He lay comfortably on his bed and once again opened the painting of the first pavilion master.
"The first pavilion master must have been a super expert, right?"
Xing Jue said with some yearning as he looked at the handsome man in the painting who was holding a silver sword and wearing a white robe. This was because he could imagine that the first generation Pavilion Master must have been a super expert in the past.
After admiring the demeanor of the first pavilion master, Xing Jue kept the painting. He then took out the seemingly ordinary necklace and carefully examined it.
Even though his own master couldn't tell what was special about the necklace, Xing Jue still held onto a glimmer of hope and wanted to find something from it. However, after examining it for a long time, Xing Jue still couldn't tell what was special about the necklace.
"Essence … Essence … Could it be related to the Essence Temple?"
However, after Xing Jue looked at the word "Essence" engraved on the necklace for a long time, he suddenly thought of the Main Pavilion's Cultivation Pavilion. "Essence Temple."
The Essence Temple and the Heaven Series Examination Hall were personally built by the first pavilion master. Both of them were quite mystical, so Xing Jue guessed that the necklace might be related to the Essence Temple.
"Whether it's related or not, I'll find out tomorrow."
Although Xing Jue thought that the necklace might be related to the Essence Temple, he didn't have much hope. After keeping the necklace, he closed his eyes and entered dreamland. Although an unforgettable event happened today, it was also a good thing for Xing Jue.
His master, who he hadn't seen for three years, actually appeared today. Moreover, his master was the Great Elder of the Yufeng Pavilion's Main Pavilion. Most importantly, his master was so supportive of him. Therefore, Xing Jue's mood couldn't be better at this moment. As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they encounter happy events. At this moment, Xing Jue slept soundly after being happy.
The next morning, Lin Yun woke up early. After doing his daily training, he headed towards the Essence Temple.
Xing Jue's current strength couldn't be increased by cultivating day and night. Therefore, after his daily training, Xing Jue had a lot of time. Since he thought that the necklace might be related to the Essence Temple, Xing Jue naturally wanted to go there to take a look.
After entering the Essence Temple, Xing Jue took out the necklace and put it around his neck. Then, he began to walk towards the second floor of the Essence Temple.
"Look, isn't that Xing Jue?"
"Didn't he get judged?"
"Are you stupid? Xing Jue's teacher is the Great Elder of the Main Pavilion. If the Great Elder wants to protect Xing Jue, who would dare to understand him? "
"Xing Jue is an expert who killed Bai Tianyou. What is he doing in the Essence Temple? This place shouldn't be of any use to him, right? "
After Xing Jue entered the Essence Temple, he attracted the attention of the Main Pavilion's disciples. There were many topics revolving around him, and their comments were all over the place.
Some of the female disciples were constantly looking at Xing Jue with adoration. Currently, regardless of strength or status, Xing Jue was much stronger than Bai Tianyou.
In the past, Bai Tianyou had become the white horse in the hearts of a portion of the female disciples. Now, Xing Jue had become the white horse in the hearts of the majority of the female disciples. However, Xing Jue paid no attention to all of this. Instead, he headed straight for the second floor.
Buzz!
As the boundary wiggled, Xing Jue stepped into the second floor. However, at this moment, Xing Jue discovered a powerful Martial Qi shooting towards Xing Jue.
However, facing this attack, Xing Jue merely smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, he easily blocked the attack. Then, he made a grabbing motion with his hand. The rank 2 Martial Essence that was attacking Xing Jue was instantly shattered.
When Xing Jue entered the second floor for the first time, he was also attacked by a rank 2 Martial Essence. At that time, Xing Jue had to expend a great deal of effort to kill it. However, the current Xing Jue was able to deal with this rank 2 Martial Essence effortlessly.
Afterwards, Xing Jue began to carefully search the second floor. What Xing Jue wanted to find was something related to the necklace on his neck. Even if it was a jagged groove in the stone wall, Xing Jue would take the necklace and place it there.
Along the way, Xing Jue encountered many rank 2 Martial Essences. However, those Martial Essences that Xing Jue had to use all his strength to deal with were easily killed by Xing Jue.
However, at this very moment, Xing Zhi's longing for Li Xiaohan had also been evoked. Back then, he and Li Xiaohan had spent two whole months here. Those two months could be said to be the best time Xing Zhi had ever had.
As Xing Jue searched extremely carefully, a few days quietly passed. In these few days, Xing Jue had searched almost every corner of the second floor. However, he still could not find anything related to the necklace. On the contrary, he had killed all the Martial Essences on the second floor.
"Could it be that I misunderstood?" Xing Jue was currently sitting on a stone wall. His expression was somewhat disappointed as he muttered to himself. Because at this moment, Xing Jue's trace of hope was about to completely collapse.
* buzz buzz buzz buzz *
But just at this moment, in the originally quiet second floor, a strange sound suddenly rang out. After hearing that sound, Xing Jue's body involuntarily trembled.
"The third floor has opened again?" Looking in the direction of the sound, he said in astonishment.
The third floor was said to only open once every two years. But now, it had actually opened again after just over a year.
But after a moment of silence, Xing Jue's body suddenly moved. Then, he turned into a gust of wind and began to rapidly fly in the direction of the sound.
Xing Jue's current speed could be said to be extremely fast. He was simply like an arrow that left the bow, advancing at extreme speed without slowing down at all. With such extreme speed, Xing Jue very quickly arrived at the entrance to the third floor.
Looking at the dark purple entrance that was slowly revolving before him, the scene of Li Xiaohan insisting on entering the third floor once again appeared in Xing Jue's mind.
Back then, in order to quickly raise his strength, Li Xiaohan clearly knew that the third floor was extremely dangerous, but she still entered it, which caused her to be seriously injured and almost lose her life.
Regarding the injury that Li Xiaohan suffered that day, Xing Jue still remembered very clearly. At that time, Xing Jue decided that he would not let the same thing happen a second time.
"Perhaps what I can't find in the second floor, I can find in the third floor."
"Let me see what exactly the monster that almost killed Xiaohan looks like."
Standing in front of the entrance, Xing Jue muttered to himself. Then, he took large strides and walked towards the entrance to the third floor.
* buzz buzz *
At this moment, Xing Jue only felt a powerful suction force wrapping around his body, tightly locking him down. But suddenly, the suction force disappeared in an instant. When the suction force disappeared, Xing Jue discovered that he had already entered the third floor.
After entering the third floor, Xing Jue did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. He immediately entered a state of alertness and cautiously swept his gaze around his surroundings.
The third floor was not too different from the other two floors of the Essence Temple. If there was one difference, it would be that there was an abnormal atmosphere in the third floor. That atmosphere would make people feel pressured, and the abnormal pressure made Xing Jue feel very uncomfortable.
"It's said that the third floor will only be open for two hours. Looks like I have to hurry if I want to find clues."
At this moment, Xing Jue discovered that there was no third grade Martial Essence in his surroundings. But he knew that the third floor would only be open for two hours. After that, it would close.
In other words, Xing Jue had to rush back in two hours. Otherwise, he would be imprisoned here for two years. Being imprisoned in such an environment for two years, not to mention anything else, he would starve to death.
* whoosh *
Thinking of this, Xing Jue did not hesitate. He took a big step forward and his entire body shot out like an arrow leaving the bow. In the end, he quickly rushed towards a passageway.
But after Xing Jue walked for a short distance, he suddenly discovered that an extremely powerful body of energy had appeared in front of him. Then, Xing Jue slowed down his pace and carefully walked forward.
"This is … third grade Martial Essence?"
After Xing Jue turned a corner, his body suddenly stopped. Because at this moment, a strange body of energy had appeared in front of Xing Jue.
This body of energy was actually a human-shaped skeleton. The skeleton's eyes were incomparably hollow, and it held two bone blades in its hands. Moreover, its body was wrapped in a golden aura. It was like a rising flame was slowly rising from its body. This appearance was somewhat similar to when Xing Jue released his Soul Force.
The golden aura constantly revolved around its body. At this moment, Xing Jue could clearly feel that the golden aura was Martial Qi. Furthermore, the degree of density was extremely high. Therefore, Xing Jue was certain that this was the third grade Martial Essence.
However, what made Xing Jue astonished was that the third rank Essence of Martial Arts had already gradually condensed into the shape of a human. If there was a fourth rank Essence of Martial Arts, would it be a complete human form?
* whoosh whoosh … *
But just as Xing Jue was observing the Martial Qi, the Martial Essence also discovered Xing Jue's existence. Then, it waved its arms and two crescent-shaped golden Sword Qi rapidly flew towards Xing Jue. What made Xing Jue shocked was that the strength of the Sword Qi was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Xing Jue's Rising Dragon Blade.
