The Jadeite Mountain Manor's Divine Weapon was called the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword. It was left behind by the Jadeite Sovereign, who no longer managed the Jadeite Mountain Manor.
The Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword was not forged by the Jadeite Sovereign. Its original name was not that either. Instead, it was called the Heavenly Blood Sword.
This was the sword of another legendary Martial Emperor of the Black Sea, the Blood Sword Sovereign. The glory that the Blood Sword Sovereign once created was even more dazzling than that of Xia Luo's ancestor, the Thunder Fire Sovereign.
Aside from the Blood Sword Sovereign's human bloodline, he also had the bloodline of the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Blood Race, a mixed-blood of humans and Demons.
However, the Blood Sword Sovereign's history was too ancient. Before the Black Sea Continent shattered, he had already died. The legends he left behind only existed in ancient books.
There was only one story that spread far and wide: the Blood Sword Sovereign forming the Heart of an Emperor before advancing to Martial Emperor.
He became the first person to do so, shaking the entire Kunlun Realm. In the history of the Martial Epoch, no one had formed a complete Heart of an Emperor before advancing to Martial Emperor.
The Heavenly Seal infused into the soul was only the vague form of the Heart of an Emperor, far from the true Heart of an Emperor. Only those who cleared the Great Tribulation of wind and fire, reforged their Golden Body, and successfully pushed open the Emperor's Door could possess the Heart of an Emperor.
However, this Blood Sword Sovereign broke this rule, becoming the only person in history to possess the Heart of an Emperor before advancing to Martial Emperor.
Xiao Chen's hand nearly trembled as he held the information. If he could grasp this Secret Technique and condense the Heart of an Emperor, he would be able to resolve the problem of infusing the soul into the Heavenly Seal.
The problem of infusing the soul into the Heavenly Seal would naturally be solved when he reached Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor and Consummation Blue Robed Emperor.
The principle was very simple. When one merged the soul into the Heavenly Seal, it only formed the vague form of the Heart of an Emperor. If one condensed the complete Heart of an Emperor in advance, why would one care about a vague form?
This was the opportunity that Yue Bingyun mentioned.
After putting down the information, Xiao Chen calmed down. If this Secret Technique was so easy to find, there would have been a second person who condensed the Heart of an Emperor in advance after tens of thousands of years.
Could the crux of the Secret Technique for condensing the Heart of an Emperor be related to the Jadeite Mountain Manor's Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword?
With limited information, this was all that Xiao Chen could think of. The secret technique to condense the Heart of an Emperor in advance was definitely related to the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword.
However, what kind of connection did it have with the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword becoming a Transcendent Divine Weapon?
As for Yue Bingyun's position in this matter, no one knew.
Putting down the documents, Xiao Chen rubbed his head. There was no point in thinking too much. He just had to wait for the fifteenth of the next month. At that time, all the answers would be revealed.
For now, he would concentrate on his cultivation. Three days later, he would go to the Blue Robed Emperor level auction house to take a look and see if he could gain anything. Otherwise, he would have nowhere to spend his hundreds of millions of Black Astral Coins. That would be rather depressing.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yue Bingyun knocked on the door punctually, inviting Xiao Chen to come with her.
As the name suggested, only the Blue Robed Emperor was allowed to participate in the Blue Robed Emperor level auction. Such an auction could not be held in an ordinary city.
There was no other reason other than the fact that they could not gather many Blue Robed Emperors. With only four or five people, there was no competition at all. How could they possibly open an auction?
However, such an auction could definitely be held in Black Water City. Furthermore, the scene would be extremely lively.
The Black Sea was the best experiential training ground for the Blue Robed Emperor. Its reputation was not undeserved. There were many Blue Robed Emperor experts in Black Water City. While one could not see them just by looking up, with a few more steps, one would definitely run into one or two Blue Robed Emperors.
The auction house was known as the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion. The major faction behind it was the Heavenly Cauldron Gate, which was no weaker than a Holy Land. There were also several Sovereign Martial Emperors, all of whom had connections to the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion.
The Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion, which had a frighteningly strong backer, had already organized the Blue Robed Emperor level auction for several hundred years. No one had ever dared to cause trouble.
Slowly, this Blue Robed Emperor level auction became a major event in Black Water City. It attracted nearly eighty percent of the Blue Robed Emperors in the entire Black Water Sea.
There were even Blue Robed Emperors in the neighboring Black Wind Sea and Black Fire Sea, who came because of its fame, hoping to find a treasure.
When Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun rushed to the street where the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion was located, they discovered that many cultivators had already gathered in front of the pavilion.
There were also several people in the nearby inns and pavilions. They held wine cups as if they were watching the excitement. Occasionally, they would whisper to each other or exclaim in surprise.
"What is going on?" Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity.
This was Yue Bingyun's first time here as well, so she was not clear on what was going on. She only understood after asking a passerby.
It turned out that the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion's Blue Robed Emperor level auction tickets were not bought with Black Astral Coins. Instead, cultivators had to prove their strength.
The stronger one was, the better the ticket they could obtain. Those with average strength could only obtain ordinary tickets and sit in the hall, unable to enjoy a private room.
This was rather interesting. In the other auctions, which one did not treat the Blue Robed Emperor as an honored guest? Here, one had to rely on one's strength to obtain a ticket. If one was not strong enough, one could only obtain the most ordinary ticket.
Under the gaze of so many eyes, it was embarrassing enough to only get a ticket to the main hall.
"Let's go over and take a look."
The two exuded the aura of the Blue Robed Emperor as they parted the crowd and headed in. When they arrived, they finally saw what was going on.
There was a hundred-meter-tall stone stele at the foot of the thousands of steps paved with metal. This was the testing stele for the Blue Robed Emperor's strength.
Rows of gems were embedded in the stele at regular intervals. There were a total of seven rows, and each row had ten gems.
Not far away, there was an exquisite and profound metal dummy connected to the stele through a formation.
Occasionally, the Blue Robed Emperor would step forward and strike the metal dummy. Then, the gems embedded in the stele would glow continuously.
When the two stepped forward, a Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor happened to be there. He mustered his strength and drove the power of the world with all his might. Then, he punched the metal dummy.
"Bang!" There was a deafening sound. A strong wind blew, and the clouds churned. The aura and pressure looked very strong.
The ten white gems in the first row on the testing stele all lit up in an instant. The entire stele glowed with a bright white light.
After lighting up the ten gems in the first row, one would obtain the right to enter the auction. However, whether one could obtain the honored guest status and enjoy a private room would depend on the results.
The speed at which the ten blue gems in the second row lit up was clearly much slower.
By the time the three hundredth row of green gems lit up, the speed at which they lit up became even slower.
The cultivator standing in front of the metal dummy had a nervous and expectant expression. However, of the ten gems in the third row, only five lit up in the end.
"The third row is not fully lit up. Sorry, we can only give you the most ordinary tickets." The person in charge of the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion, who was standing at the side, took out a ticket and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man received the ticket with a depressed expression. "I am already a peak Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, yet I cannot even obtain the honored guest status."
"What's wrong? You are not convinced?" the person in charge of the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion said expressionlessly.
"I was just saying, just saying," the middle-aged man said with an embarrassed smile. After he spoke, he headed straight for the stairs and entered the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion.
How could he not be convinced? This was not a place for a Blue Robed Emperor to behave atrociously. Even if it were a Minor Heavenly Emperor Wu, he would have to think twice before coming.
After that, Xiao Chen looked at a few more people and understood the trick.
One had to light up at least three rows before they could obtain a honored guest ticket. After that, for every row lit up, they could obtain a private room on a higher level, enjoying better service and benefits.
"Bang!"
There was another loud sound, and the stone stele started to change colors rapidly. White, blue, green, red … it only stopped after changing six colors.
The power of one punch lit up six rows of gems. This immediately caused an uproar, attracting the attention of several people.
"It is another Consummation Blue Robed Emperor character."
"This is Jin Liangqi. Ten years ago, he was a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor expert. However, he has not shown himself in the past few years. Apparently, he is preparing to undergo his Great Tribulation of wind and fire."
"Haha! He probably does not have the guts to undergo his Great Tribulation of wind and fire. Otherwise, he would not have shown himself."
Before the envious gazes of the crowd, Jin Liangqi's slightly gloomy face did not change at all. He received the ticket for the honored guest room on the sixth floor and walked over expressionlessly.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, It turns out that one needs the strength of a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor to light up the gems on the sixth row.
After observing for a long time, Xiao Chen discovered that this testing stone stele was extremely accurate in measuring one's strength.
All this while, Xiao Chen did not have a clear idea of the level of his strength.
The testing stone stele before him was a good opportunity to see the strongest strength that he could burst out with and how big the gap was between it and those Consummation Blue Robed Emperor existences.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to step forward and make a move, a familiar figure walked over. It was the legendary Thunder Fire Sovereign's descendant, Xia Luo.
Accompanying Xia Luo was an old man with an extremely strong aura. This was a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor expert.
However, when Xiao Chen observed this old man, he found that this old man's aura was weaker than Jin Liangqi's. The difference was obvious.
Indeed, as Xia Luo expected, when Jin Liangqi punched the metal puppet, the light changed. Only three purple gems on the sixth row lit up.
Compared to the nine purple gems on the sixth row that Jin Liangqi lit up, this was far from enough.
After successfully obtaining a VIP room on the sixth floor, Xia Luo followed behind the old man with a cocky expression.
There were many hidden talents in Black Water City. The Blue Robed Emperor level auction had drawn out all these Consummation Blue Robed Emperors, opening one's horizons.
Xiao Chen walked out of the crowd in anticipation, preparing to test which row of gems he could light up.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to reach the metal puppet, someone with a strong aura flew over in the air, not even bothering to look at Xiao Chen.
This person continued diving down, kicking up a strong wind that was as sharp as a saber. He said coldly, "Scram to the side. Let this young master test first!"
The strong wind was like a saber, and the aura was like a mountain. This figure arrived with a surging aura. His fearless sharpness forced back the surrounding cultivators watching the excitement.
Xiao Chen frowned. Without much time to think, he turned around and sent a palm strike. The other party was too fast. If Xiao Chen hesitated for even a moment, he would get injured.
