Xiao Chen's heart sank. He knew that he was probably too late, so he walked over and asked around. Indeed, a group of mysterious people snatched away the remaining half of the Sky Dome Heart.
"They are not Demons?"
"No. Although they were masked, I can be sure that they are not Demons. They do not have the aura of a Demon." Old Yun told Xiao Chen about what happened back then.
A group of masked people used a method similar to what Xiao Chen did. They made the dragon soul in the sky clash with the Sky Dome Dragon on the ground, breaking the Sky Dome Dragon Formation and snatching away the Sky Dome Heart.
Old Yun sighed, "This world is really chaotic. I believe that this group of mysterious people will snatch away the other half of the Sky Dome Heart from the Demons."
Xiao Chen was stunned. It looked like Chu Chaoyun's ambition was extraordinarily great.
Unknowingly, Chu Chaoyun actually gained such a strong force in the Sky Dome Realm. It was like he could occupy the entire Sky Dome Realm at any time. Chu Chaoyun was just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for true chaos to descend.
Old Yun continued, "Right now, the Bushin Palace is also very chaotic. Blue Dragon King, when you return, you have to be more careful."
Xiao Chen asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Old Yun frowned and said, "There are many factions in the Bushin Palace. Everything is in chaos. I requested for reinforcements several times, but they ignored me. From the looks of it, it looks like they want to revolt and reelect the Palace Master of the Bushin Palace. They simply cannot care about such a small matter.
"I did not receive much news while I was in the Sky Dome Realm. I really don't know what happened for it to suddenly become so chaotic."
Xiao Chen knew very well that the Thunder King had disappeared, his fate unknown. The Three Holy Masters were already dissatisfied with the Thunder King. It would be strange if the situation was not chaotic.
However, Xiao Chen could not tell Old Yun all this. That would only make him worry.
Xiao Chen consoled, "Since the Sky Dome Heart is gone, there is no need to rebuild the Sky Dome Palace. Come with me to the Xiao Clan. There is a small Iron Defense Magic Formation that I laid there. Its offense is not strong, but its defense is much stronger than the Sky Dome Dragon Formation. "
"Really? Thank you, Blue Dragon King, "Elder Yun said with a smile.
Xiao Chen sighed. Chaos was coming, and he couldn't help much. This was all he could do.
He really wanted to go to the Kunlun Realm to see what was going on. However, the Taiji Dao, the Flawless saber Dao, and the cultivation of Saber Energy needed to be sorted out properly. He could not act rashly.
"One year. Give me one more year. That will be enough," Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
The fact that the Sky Dome Heart had fallen into Chu Chaoyun's hands was already a fact that could not be changed.
Xiao Chen did not care too much about what Chu Chaoyun was planning or how much power he had in the Sky Dome Realm.
He only cared about the safety of his family and friends, as well as the disciples on Blue Cloud Peak.
After leaving the Sky Dome Palace, Xiao Chen arrived at the Xiao Clan City. Then, he saw Yue Chenxi and the other two, who were about to leave, in the City Lord's Residence.
Right now, the Kunlun Realm was in great chaos. However, great chaos often meant great fortuitous encounters. To the three of them, this might not be a bad thing.
"Xiao Chen, when do you intend to return to the Kunlun Realm? When will the Great Tribulation of wind and fire arrive?" Yue Chenxi asked out of concern.
Gong Yangyu and Xuanyuan Zhantian were also very concerned about this problem.
Everyone knew that of the five years that Yue Bingyun had set for Xiao Chen, only one and a half years remained. As the time drew closer, it was hard for Xiao Chen's good friends to not worry.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, not avoiding this question. "There is still about one more year. I have gained something in the Kunlun Realm and need to properly digest it. As for the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire, it might come at any time. Let nature take its course. "
When he spoke, his body exuded a sense of tranquility, allowing others to feel his tranquility.
Yue Chenxi and the other two felt slightly relieved. They knew that Xiao Chen's mentality was much better than theirs.
"This time, when you go to the Kunlun Realm, you should have a great fortuitous encounter. Grasp it well, and it won't be hard to gain something. Remember, your lives are the most important. "
Xuanyuan Zhantian and the others felt suspicious. Xiao Chen seemed to know something, but he did not say it clearly.
They had not left the Sky Dome Realm, so how did Xiao Chen know the situation of the Kunlun Realm like the back of his hand?
"Xiao Chen, can you explain?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "There is no need to say too much. You will understand when you get there."
"In that case, we will take our leave first."
"Right. I will leave the three juniors of my Xiao Clan to you as well."
After sending off the three with his eyes, Xiao Chen gave his blessings in his heart. He only hoped that his three friends would be able to obtain some peace in this chaotic world.
Right now, Xiao Chen was like duckweed. If he was not careful, he could get scattered by the wind and waves. There was not much he could do.
If he could not clear his Great Tribulation of wind and fire, he would not be able to protect himself in this chaotic world.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen met with his father. Then, he started to think about how to strengthen the small Iron Defense Magic Formation around the City Lord's Residence.
Spring passed and autumn arrived. In this Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen traveled back and forth between the Xiao Clan and Qingyun Peak. Occasionally, he would go out and enjoy the scenery.
There was not much time left for Xiao Chen. However, he did not just enter closed-door cultivation. Instead, he moved about frequently. Amidst the mountains and rivers, he savored the Taiji Dao and tempered his mental state. He let nature take its course and did not dwell on the details.
Seven Horn Mountain, White Water City, the Deep Sea — he walked the paths that he had taken in the past.
Finally, he arrived at the most mysterious place of the Sky Dome Realm, the Ancient Desolate Tower.
Back then, Xiao Chen had fought against the outstanding talents of the various nations in the Ancient Desolate Tower. Only then did he gain some fame as the White Robed Bladesman.
Now that he was in Desolate City again, the bewildering formation that hid the Ancient Desolate Tower naturally did not hinder Xiao Chen. He immediately saw that mysterious Ancient Desolate Tower.
The Ancient Desolate Tower had existed since the time of the Tianwu Dynasty.
After understanding the strength of the first-generation Tianwu Emperor, Xiao Chen even felt that the first-generation Tianwu Emperor might have personally built this Ancient Desolate Tower for the sake of tempering the royal clan's disciples.
"Ao Jiao, speaking of which, why did you make me stop at the eighth floor back then and not go to the ninth floor? You should be able to tell me this secret now, right? "
Xiao Chen asked casually as he recalled a matter from the past.
That year, Xiao Chen revealed his brilliance among the outstanding talents of the various nations. He overcame all the difficulties and killed his way to the eighth floor. Later, due to Ao Jiao's words, Xiao Chen gave up on the idea of entering the ninth floor. That was a small regret.
Originally, Xiao Chen had expected that Ao Jiao would not make things difficult for him now.
Who knew, after Xiao Chen spoke for a long time, he did not hear a reply from Ao Jiao. He could not help feeling curious.
Now, Xiao Chen's strength was overwhelming, comparable to Emperor Wu's. Even Chu Chaoyun had to give way to Xiao Chen, not daring to challenge him. To think that Ao Jiao was still worried.
What exactly was in the Ancient Desolate Tower's ninth floor for Ao Jiao to be so worried?
Just as Xiao Chen was about to continue asking, Ao Jiao flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring. She said, There is a mirror in there called the Three Life Mirror. It can show the future and the past. Those who enter the ninth floor will have another chance to choose whether to look at the past or the future.
An interested expression appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes. "And then?"
"Sang Mu chose to look at the future. In the end, he saw his body shattering and his Dao falling. After that, it really came true. No matter how talented he was in the Kunlun Realm, he could not change it. "
Xiao Chen's expression froze. When he heard Ao Jiao's sullen tone, he said, "Sorry, I should not have asked."
Xiao Chen finally understood why Ao Jiao did not want him to go to the ninth floor. She was afraid, afraid that he would end up like the Thunder King Sang Mu, defeated by fate.
Ao Jiao smiled and said, "It's fine. There is no need to hide these things from you. The choice is up to you."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, It would have been fine if I did not know about it in the past. Now that I know about the Three Life Mirror on the ninth floor, I have to make a trip there.
With Xiao Chen's current strength, the various restrictions of the Ancient Desolate Tower were naturally ineffective. If he wanted to enter, he just had to forcibly tear space.
However, how should he choose? Look at the past or the future?
The Thunder King felt that there was nothing to see in the past, so he chose the future. In the end, he ended up dying without a complete corpse. In the end, it really came true. When Xiao Chen thought about it, it did feel somewhat horrifying.
Before fate, a single person's effort was insignificant. No matter how hard he tried, he could not change it.
"Little Ao Jiao, wait here for a while. I'll go in and take a look."
Without waiting for Ao Jiao to reply, Xiao Chen tore space and broke the various restrictions in space. Then, he silently arrived at the ninth floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower.
Indeed, it was as Ao Jiao said. The empty ninth floor only had a mirror in the center. Aside from that, there was nothing else.
The mirror was close to two meters tall. Its surface was as smooth as water. When Xiao Chen entered, he kicked up a strong wind, causing the mirror to ripple.
"Strange, you are already as strong as a half-step Emperor Wu. That's not right. You are even stronger than a regular Emperor Wu. How are you able to enter the Ancient Desolate Tower?"
A cute girl appeared in the Three Life Mirror. She stared at Xiao Chen and asked, finding it strange.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You must be the Item Spirit of the Three Life Mirror, right? Although I did not follow the rules and barged in, I managed to get here step by step. It's just that I gave up this opportunity back then. It's not too late to do it now, right? "
The pretty girl in the mirror giggled and said, "So that's how it is. You do have the aura of someone who cleared the earlier stages. In that case, it is not too late. If not for the mark of the earlier stages, even if you managed to barge in, Little Three would not be able to reveal anything about you. "
Xiao Chen walked forward and looked at the lively Item Spirit. He asked, "Do you remember the person who came here the last time?"
The pretty girl's eyes sparkled. She smiled in a somewhat infatuated manner and said, "Of course I remember. He was a very handsome fellow, even more handsome than you. However, he did not have the air you have. If I had to choose, I would be in a difficult position. I do not know who to choose. Should I choose the handsome and sunny type or the elegant and quiet type? How difficult, how difficult. How should I choose … "
In the mirror, the pretty girl completely forgot about Xiao Chen's existence. She tilted her head and rubbed her chin, appearing to be in a difficult position.
Cold sweat appeared on Xiao Chen's forehead. This Item Spirit had been lonely for a long time. It had not spoken for thousands of years, but when it did, it would say a lot. Furthermore, it was infatuated.
"He is dead."
"Is he really dead?"
The pretty girl was somewhat stunned at first. Then, she smiled excitedly and said, "Little Three is really incredible. It got it right again …"
