"There are countless ancient secret techniques, and there are many that share the same name. Some of them are extremely simple, while others are extremely profound.
Xiangtian, let's go check this ancient secret technique first, "said Changyang Yuan Wuji.
Jianchen and the seven great elders left the ancestral hall while Huang Luan was invited into the divine hall. They gathered in the discussion hall on the first floor.
The seven Grand Elders formed a circle around Huang Luan. Then, each of them pointed at Huang Luan's head and checked the secret technique in Huang Luan's primordial spirit.
A while later, the seven of them opened their eyes at the same time. They all frowned slightly.
"This ancient secret technique is very complicated. It's directly implanted in the soul and has basically fused with it. It's extremely difficult to break through," Changyang Yuan Zhenghua gently sighed. He felt helpless.
"Then do you have any methods of breaking through this secret technique?" Jianchen became rather worried.
Everyone fell silent for a while before Changyang Zu Xiao said, "I remember that there's an ancient secret technique called the Soul Ascension Technique that seems to be able to break through this secret technique. However, I haven't grasped it because it's just too profound."
A sliver of disappointment appeared in Jianchen's eyes.
"The Old Man just happens to have grasped the Soul Ascension Technique. Xiangtian, why don't you let the Old Man have a go?" Changyang Qing Yun suddenly said. He was calm right now, and he gently smiled. He seemed to have forgotten all about the unhappiness from before.
Jianchen hesitated inside, but he had no other ideas in the end. He could only let Changyang Qing Yun have a go, but he suggested that he stand guard by the side.
"Jianchen, breaking through an ancient secret technique implanted in the soul is extremely dangerous. You need to focus all of your attention and cannot be disturbed at all, or the consequences will be unthinkable. It's best if you wait outside for your lover's safety. Moreover, you're a great elder of the Changyang Prefecture now. We're all family in the future, and I'm your great-grandfather in terms of seniority. Don't you trust your great-grandfather? " Changyang Qing Yun turned down Jianchen's suggestion to watch over him before taking Huang Luan to a secret room in the divine hall.
Jianchen was worried about Huang Luan, his primordial spirit immediately broke out of his body, wanting to follow her, but every inch of the divine palace was filled with divine power, Jianchen's primordial spirit was simply unable to penetrate the building, and was even suppressed.
Jianchen felt helpless inside. All he could do was sit there and wait while the great elders stayed with him. Only Changyang Qing Jueri had matters to attend to.
"Xiangtian, don't worry. Great elder Qing Yun is extremely powerful and has remained at Great Perfection for many years already. He can be described as someone who's half a step away from becoming a Saint Emperor. Even if he can't break through the seal, Huang Luan will still be fine if he personally takes action," Changyang Yuan Zhenghua comforted. He did not hold any prejudice towards Jianchen.
Jianchen waited there for three days, but Huang Luan and Changyang Qing Yun still did not appear. There was no news at all. In the end, Changyang Zu Yunxiao personally took him out to tour Changyang Prefecture out of boredom.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao led Jianchen across the floating continent. He explained to Jianchen a few rules of Changyang Prefecture and a few interesting rumors along the way. The two of them came across many clansmen of the inner clan, who all bowed to Changyang Zu Yunxiao. Jianchen was also a great elder, but no one showed any respect to him.
Jianchen did not care about any of this. He listened to Changyang Zu Yunxiao's explanation as if nothing had happened at all.
"Mother, is the person beside great elder Changyang Shōten an outsider?" At this moment, a young voice rang out in Jianchen's head. A boy who seemed to be six or seven years old pointed at Jianchen several hundred meters to his left.
A middle-aged woman said.
"Shh! Qing Lin, be quiet, or you'll be punished very severely. " The middle-aged woman hurriedly covered the boy's mouth and glanced in Jianchen's direction fearfully.
The boy was inexperienced and fearless. He struggled free from the middle-aged woman's hand and said with righteous indignation, "Mother, I'm not afraid. Great-grandfather Tianying was injured by Changyang Shōten and locked up. Changyang Shōten is a bad guy. He's a big bad guy. He's not a good person … Ugh …" The boy spoke louder and louder, which frightened the middle-aged woman quite a bit. She hurriedly covered his mouth and carried him away in a hurry.
Jianchen glanced at the boy who had been carried away and secretly sighed inside.
A few young Heaven Saint Masters approached from the front. They seemed to be around the same age as Jianchen.
"Greetings to the great elder." The young men all politely bowed when they arrived beside Changyang Zu Yunxiao. However, their gazes toward Jianchen were not so friendly.
The protector clan was cut off from the world. Basically none of the younger generation had ever set foot on the Tian Yuan Continent. Only a portion of the older generation had ventured out, so they had no idea about the cruelty and rules of survival on the Tian Yuan Continent. As a result, they did not agree with the saying that strength was everything. According to their understanding, any senior who was older than them should be respected. It had nothing to do with personal strength.
However, all the young men were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Jianchen had become a great elder at such a young age. Jianchen's current age was enough for anyone to be his senior in the inner clan.
"Great-grandson, don't be too angry. The protector clan has been cut off from the world for far too long, so the younger generation has become more and more rotten.
It looks like it's not a wise choice for us protector clans to live in seclusion for so long. We should let the younger generation move around the Tian Yuan Continent more and see the cruelty of the outside world, "Changyang Zu Yunxiao sighed.
Jianchen did not take it to heart. Although he was a vengeful person, he was not a petty person.
"What's that place?" Suddenly, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. He stared into the distance and saw the space in a mountain range near the floating continent constantly distort. A vast, devastating presence vaguely radiated from it.
"That's the forbidden grounds of our Changyang Prefecture. It's where the Emperor Armament is nurtured. No one in the clan is allowed to approach it, but the great elders are not restricted. Let's go. I'll take you there." With that, Changyang Zu Yunxiao directly flew in that direction with Jianchen.
"The forbidden grounds are protected by layers of formations. They were personally cast down by the previous Holy Emperor to restrain the Emperor Armament. At the same time, they trap the powerful sword Qi and pressure that the Emperor Armament constantly radiates with," Changyang Zu Yunxiao explained to Jianchen as he walked.
Jian Chen passed through the formations around the forbidden grounds. As soon as he entered, a tremendous pressure surged over. There was also a surging sword Qi within it, which made his mind shudder.
A huge, ancient sword was stabbed into the ground in the center of the forbidden grounds. The tip of the sword was stabbed into the ground while the hilt pointed toward the sky. It radiated with a presence that seemed to look down on the world, as if it wanted to split open the sky and compete with the heavens. It was filled with a domineering and prideful presence.
Jianchen became extremely stern as he stood before the Emperor Armament. He heavily said, "What a powerful Emperor Armament. It's just far, far more powerful than the Emperor Armament in my hand. I actually feel like I can't defeat it. It's unbelievable."
Changyang Zu Yunxiao studied the Emperor Armament with mixed feelings. He sighed emotionally, "This Emperor Armament has existed since Changyang Prefecture was founded. It was left behind by our founding ancestor, who was also the first Holy Emperor of Changyang Prefecture. It has existed for over a million years now."
"An extremely ancient technique was left behind along with the founding ancestor's Emperor Armament. This technique is the method to refine the founding ancestor's Emperor Armament. Every single Holy Emperor of Changyang Prefecture would leave behind their Emperor Armament after they passed away. They would fuse their Emperor Armament into the Emperor Armament according to the technique left behind by the founding ancestor."
"Over the countless years, there have always been Holy Emperors in Changyang Prefecture. At the peak, there were even over a dozen Holy Emperors that existed at the same time. As a result, there have been over a hundred Holy Emperors in the history of Changyang Prefecture, so the founding ancestor's Emperor Armament has fused with over a hundred Holy Emperor weapons as well. Its current power is unimaginable. It requires several Holy Emperors to work together to control it, but they won't be able to use its full power. They will also suffer an extremely powerful backlash, which is extremely difficult to heal from. If they control it for too long, their lives will be in danger and they will die."
Jianchen was deeply shocked when he heard that. He was extremely fearful of the Emperor Armament of the protector clans. It could only be controlled by several Holy Emperors working together, but they would not be able to use its full power and would suffer an extremely powerful backlash. He struggled to imagine just how powerful the Emperor Armament of the protector clans was.
Compared to the Emperor Armament of the protector clans, the one in his hand immediately paled in comparison. Although they were both Emperor Armaments, the difference in power was just far, far too great.
"The Emperor Armament is the true treasure of our protector clans. It's the trump card of our protector clans, a bargaining chip against Saint Emperors. It's also what keeps us safe," Changyang Zu Yunxiao sighed emotionally.
"If the protector clans use the Emperor Armament without any regard for the consequences, I wonder if the origin energy armor on Ruijin and Black Fish will be able to block it." Jianchen guessed inside, but he did not have an answer. However, he had already made up his mind at that moment. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not provoke the Emperor Armament of the protector clans.
Jianchen feared the Emperor Armament of the protector clans very much. Before the Emperor Armament, even divine halls could be cleaved apart with a single strike. Only the Holy Emperor's strength could contend against it.
Jianchen and Changyang Zu Yunxiao left the forbidden grounds and returned to the divine hall. Huang Luan remained in the room. Who knew if she could access the secret technique in her head.
