Even after becoming the Blue Robed Emperor and having a thousand years of lifespan, Xiao Chen did not dare to use it casually. Only when he became Emperor Wu and reached two thousand years of lifespan would he dare to do as he pleased.
Compared to Xiao Chen's Deities Descending, there was a huge disadvantage.
However, the advantage was clear. Xiao Chen's tenfold combat prowess could only erupt for an instant. The Wheel of Life and Death could last for several breaths.
The strongest of the six great loose cultivators, Gao Yangyu, felt extremely upset at this moment. He had barged into three stone rooms with Martial Techniques in a row. In the end, all of them were Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. There was not a single Profound Martial Technique or Cultivation Technique.
"Right now, I only know one Profound Martial Technique. I have to find another one. Otherwise, even one of the eight City Lords would not be confident of victory."
Gao Yangyu's eyes flickered with great ambition. Based on what he said, it seemed like he could fight with the Blue Robed Emperor's City Lord now and have a fifty-fifty chance of victory.
Mu Qinghan's group was rather lucky. On the fifth floor, they had already broken three restrictions and obtained three King Grade Secret Treasures.
However, the rather miserable thing was that only Mu Qinghan, the manager, and that great grandmaster-level Martial Sage remained.
The value of the three King Grade Secret Treasures was definitely not worth the deaths of so many people. Mu Qinghan showed a sullen expression as he clenched his teeth and prepared to continue breaking restrictions.
Otherwise, not only would he not gain anything from this trip to the treasure mountain, but he would also suffer a great loss. Given his character, he would not agree to this.
…
After making eight detours, Mo Chen and Xiao Chen did not fear trouble. They went back a few more times to avoid being followed.
This made Chen Wenjun's group very careful. If not for Lu Shaoyou's sharp eyes and quick hands, they would have been exposed a few times.
"Young Master Wen, is there a need to go to so much trouble?" Mo Chen asked, finding it strange. Along the way, Xiao Chen had been overly cautious.
"Since the second floor, I have felt that something is wrong." Xiao Chen looked around and said, "Forget it. Maybe I am overthinking things. I have turned back a few times, but I have not seen them. Come, let's go to the sixth floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion."
If he could still use his Divine Sense, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Unfortunately, the walls of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion contained a special array and restriction.
Not only could it absorb the energy of the aftermath of the battle, but it could also restrain the existence of Divine Sense and Mental Power.
The two of them weaved through the corridors, making many turns before stopping in front of a dead end.
Xiao Chen went forward and knocked on it. The wall was solid, and there was no hidden compartment behind it.
Mo Chen moved her fingers, and a red light flickered on her fingertips. Then, wondrous formations appeared on both sides of her.
This was a strange Secret Technique derived from the supreme Magic Skill of the Immortal Epoch, the Great Divination Technique. Of course, by the time it had been passed down, it had already weakened quite a bit and could no longer be called a divine ability.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This Mo Chen is really talented. She has all kinds of talents.
Refining Medicinal Pills, refining treasures, brewing wine, designing wine cups, and now, she even dabbled in the nearly lost Secret Techniques. Based on the many layers of talisman formations around her, it was clear that she had very high attainments in these Secret Techniques. She did not just have a superficial understanding of them.
As Mo Chen made her divination, clumps of white light started moving around the walls on both sides.
After a while, the clumps of light stopped. Then, Mo Chen sent out a palm wind and struck that brick.
"Huang dang!"
The wall at the end of the corridor suddenly parted, and a long passageway appeared before the two. Mo Chen took the lead and walked in.
So, that was the case. The wall in front was indeed solid. However, she needed to make some divination before she could find the secret compartment.
Without this divination technique, no matter how powerful her Magic Skill was, she would not be able to find the secret compartment.
When the two reached the end of the passageway, a staircase appeared in front. If they followed the staircase, they would reach the mysterious sixth floor.
When the two arrived at the upper floor, a one-kilometer-long stone room appeared before their eyes. Simple, life-sized combat puppets with a strong metallic texture floated on the ground.
Xiao Chen counted the number of these combat puppets. There were about a hundred of them. They stood in ten groups in the stone room. Each group had a jade strip giving off a bright light floating above them.
"These jade strips are all Profound Martial Techniques or Cultivation Techniques. Every time you use a jade strip, you will have to face the attacks of ten combat puppets." Mo Chen explained softly, "The combat puppets will adjust their combat prowess according to the challenger's cultivation. They can adjust their combat prowess up to Emperor Wu's level."
Xiao Chen was startled. To think that the ancient Fire Li Sect was so strong. They could even refine combat puppets of Emperor Wu's level.
The fact that the combat puppets could adjust their combat prowess should be to test their disciples. They would not let the genius disciples easily obtain Profound Martial Techniques or Cultivation Techniques.
They would also not let the disciples with weaker talent fail to obtain Profound Martial Techniques because the difficulty was too high. They did their best to create a fair environment.
Xiao Chen felt excited. Right now, he was only an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. However, his combat prowess was more than enough to defeat a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
That was to say, even if he used all ten jade strips, he would only have to face one hundred combat puppets with the combat prowess of an Inferior Grade Martial Sage.
Joy appeared on Xiao Chen's face. He thought to himself, I wonder if this counts as cheating?
Probably not. After all, a special existence like me can only appear because of many coincidences. Since ancient times, I am probably the only one.
"Young Master Wen, I will go and take out the Book of Heavenly Works first. Given your strength, it should not be a problem for you to subdue one or two jade strips." Mo Chen took out her fiery phoenix pendant and headed for a stone platform in the center of the stone room.
Xiao Chen nodded. Then, he opened his hand and collected all ten jade strips containing Profound Martial Techniques.
"Whoosh!"
The previously lifeless, statue-like combat puppets suddenly began to move in unison. The dust on their bodies exploded in an instant, creating deafening booms.
Mo Chen, who was at the side, was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen took the risk and collected all ten jade strips containing Profound Martial Techniques.
However, what shocked Mo Chen even more was yet to come. These combat puppets, the strongest of which was as strong as Emperor Wu, exploded with one punch from Xiao Chen.
The five Heaven Dragons behind Xiao Chen surged up and down, roaring ferociously in unison.
Xiao Chen's punch contained twenty-five thousand tons of force. When combined with the Dragon Claw Fist, which burned his Vital Qi, he was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
Occasionally, Xiao Chen executed the Kun Peng Fist, sweeping through a large area. A strong wind blew, the Heaven Dragon roared, and the Great Roc spread its wings, hating the sky for being too low.
Mo Chen gaped slightly, her eyes filled with incredulity. She even forgot what she was doing as she watched.
When Xiao Chen finished off the one hundred combat puppets, he waved his hand and sucked all the steel hearts into his Universe Ring. Only then did Mo Chen recover her wits.
Mo Chen smiled bitterly. She really could not compare herself to others. There was a groove on the surface of the stone pillar. It happened to fit the fiery phoenix pendant in her hand.
Without much thought, Mo Chen inserted the jade pendant. In that instant, a fierce flame burned on the stone pillar. An ancient book carved from bamboo soared up from the flame.
The words "Book of Heavenly Works" were carved on the frontmost bamboo leaf, looking very eye-catching in the flame.
Mo Chen looked at Xiao Chen joyfully. She said somewhat excitedly, "Young Master Wen, it really is the Book of Heavenly Works. I obtained it."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, feeling happy for Mo Chen. He understood Mo Chen's current feelings. He said softly, "Congratulations, Miss Mo. You got what you wanted."
Mo Chen smiled warmly and said, "Many thanks, Young Master Wen. Along the way, there were many combat puppets and barriers at the gates. If not for you, Mo Chen would not have obtained the Book of Heavenly Works so easily."
While Mo Chen felt happy, she also felt somewhat disappointed. Now that she had gotten what she wanted, there was no need for Xiao Chen to remain by her side.
Although Xiao Chen did not know the other party's identity, he was not someone she could make stay in the insignificant Cloud Sea Domain.
They had met by chance at the seaside. He had suddenly appeared and killed people in a rage in the City Lord's Residence. When he saw her face, he was willing to extend his cold hand to give her one last bit of warmth.
However, in the end, he did not belong to the Cloud Sea Domain. He did not belong to this insignificant sky.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat sorrowful. In the end, he had to leave. There were not many people in this world that could be considered friends. Girls that could make him look at them in a new light were even rarer. Without a doubt.
Zither, Go, calligraphy, painting, the mystical arts, and the medical arts. Mo Chen was proficient in all of them. However, she had a different kind of stubbornness. She was such a girl.
The atmosphere was somewhat strange. The two did not say anything. Mo Chen smiled bitterly and said, "After obtaining the Book of Heavenly Works, I will be able to become the Blue Robed Emperor in less than ten years. At that time, I will be your bodyguard and protect you for ten years."
Blue Robed Emperor …
As long as Xiao Chen was willing, he could absorb another ten Peak Spirit Veins and return his cultivation to its peak. Together with Neptune's crown, he would be able to defeat the Blue Robed Emperor without Mo Chen's protection.
However, at this moment, he would just treat it as a white lie.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Good. I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you to become the Blue Robed Emperor. I'll wait for you to knock on the Emperor's Door and personally see you remove the veil on your face."
"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "Urgent footsteps rang out. Chen Wenjun led the Sun Palace's Lu Shaoyou and Feng Ziying, as well as the great grandmaster-level Martial Sage of his clan, to the sixth floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
"The Book of Heavenly Works!"
When the group saw the eye-catching words in the blazing flame, they immediately became excited.
Lu Shaoyou smiled and said, "Good. It was not in vain for us to hide here and there and follow Miss Mo Chen for so long. Many thanks, Miss Mo Chen. Without you, even if Emperor Wu came, he would not have been able to find the Book of Heavenly Works.
"You have worked hard. Now scram immediately. I'm in a good mood and can spare one of you."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Then, he smiled and said, "So, you are disciples of the Zodiac Hall's Sun Palace. No wonder I did not discover you on the way back."
Feng Ziying smiled coldly and said, "It's good that you know our origins. Quickly scram. Don't think that after killing eight pieces of trash, you are some powerful demonic genius, not knowing how high the heavens are."
The smile on Xiao Chen's face did not fade. "Is that so? I'll return those words to the two of you. Don't think that just because you are an elite disciple of the Sun Palace, the heavens are only so high and the earth is only so thick. "
"You are seeking death!"
The killing intent on Feng Ziying's body immediately burst forth.
