After Xiao Chen entered the palace, he only took two steps. When he turned his head, he could no longer see the scenery outside the palace.
The space inside the palace seemed to be a world of its own, isolated from the outside world.
The first floor of the Blue Dragon Palace had not changed much. It was exactly the same as the last time he came.
Although Xiao Chen did not understand why Chu Chaoyun helped him avoid the most difficult step, since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came.
However, since they were already here, they might as well take things as they came.
Xiao Chen quickly headed for the formation sealing the Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame. The formation laid with the Deity Race Emperor Wu's blood remained the same.
The Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame was still here.
Xiao Chen relaxed slightly. However, after a while, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
The transparent crystal at the core of the formation was empty. The Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame, which was originally in it, had vanished.
"What's going on? Why is the Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame gone?"
Xiao Chen, who had always been calm, could not help exclaiming in shock when he paled.
"Whoosh!"
An old man appeared silently in front. Xiao Chen looked up and saw that it was the Item Soul of the Blue Dragon Palace. Xiao Chen immediately asked, "Where's the Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame?"
The black-clad old man smiled faintly and consoled Xiao Chen. "Calm down first. Don't panic. I'll tell you in detail."
"How can I calm down? My master is here specifically for the Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame," Ao Jiao said angrily as she leaped out of the Lunar Shadow Saber.
When the old man saw Ao Jiao, his eyes lit up. A gentle smile appeared on his face. "So, it's you. Little girl, you have to thank me properly for today's opportunity. Don't be so fierce to this old man."
"Humph! Who would thank you? You were very fierce to me the last time, sending me flying with one finger."
Ao Jiao was someone who held a grudge. Even now, she still remembered what happened that day.
By this time, Xiao Chen had already calmed down. He stopped Ao Jiao and cupped his fists at the black-robed old man. "Junior was rash just now. I hope Senior won't mind. I just want to know where the Heavenly Fire Origin has been taken."
When the black-clad old man saw that Xiao Chen had calmed down, he nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry. The Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame is still here. I just put it away."
"Why?"
"A year ago, someone barged into the Blue Dragon Hall without fear of the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Array. When I pushed the door open an inch, I lost control of the Heavenly Flame and almost flew out. "
"It's him!"
After the black-clothed old man explained, Xiao Chen immediately understood. Chu Chaoyun had actually done such a crazy thing a year ago.
From the looks of it, Chu Chaoyun's desire for the origin of heavenly flame was far from being as calm as he appeared.
"Who?" the black-clad old man asked, feeling confused.
Xiao Chen quickly told the old man about Chu Chaoyun's identity and origins. After the black-clad old man heard it, he revealed an expression of sudden understanding.
"So, he is a descendant of the Tianwu Emperor. In that case, you have to be careful. Ten thousand years is a cycle. Now that the agreement of ten thousand years is drawing near, don't lose to him."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Old sir, may I ask what exactly does it mean by a cycle every ten thousand years?"
When the seven thrones merged, Chu Chaoyun had said the same thing in the scene of the future.
Xiao Chen was very curious about what exactly it meant by a cycle every ten thousand years.
"Before the first-generation Tianwu Emperor left the Kunlun Realm, he left behind a divine item. Every ten thousand years, the divine item will appear. After refining the divine item, one can leave this abandoned land. "
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was startled. "The first-generation Tianwu Emperor was that incredible?"
The black-clad old man smiled and said, "Of course. He was not a person of the Kunlun Realm in the first place. He came from a great realm outside. Ten thousand years ago, the divine item appeared in the Sky Dome Realm. The final Tianwu Emperor was preparing to refine the divine item. In the end, the Qing Emperor found out.
"After that, the Qing Emperor could not resist the temptation and killed him?"
Xiao Chen felt excited. He had heard many stories about these two. Rumor had it that they were good friends.
In the end, the Qing Emperor fought a huge battle with them for some reason. After that, the final Tianwu Emperor lost and died.
The black-clad old man smiled and said, "How can that be possible? The Qing Emperor killed him because the final Tianwu Emperor was too ambitious. He wanted to refine the three thousand lower realms and swallow up the Kunlun Realm and the Deep Abyss Demonic World. He wanted to use the divine item to absorb all the Luck of the entire abandoned land before leaving. "
It turned out that there was such a secret. Xiao Chen entered deep thought and asked, "Why did he do that?"
"Of course, it was to let his Luck flourish. Even after leaving the abandoned land, he would be able to rise again and reach the peak." The black-clad old man said, "The Primes and Martial Emperors of this world are not worth mentioning in a true great world. They are nothing."
"Outside is an even vaster world with limitless possibilities."
So, that was the case. If the final Tianwu Emperor really managed to absorb all the Luck of the abandoned land, the abandoned land would really become a wasteland.
The Qing Emperor was not as unbearable as the rumors made him out to be.
Xiao Chen said, "Very well, let's get back to business. Give me the Heavenly Flame. I need it. It is very useful. "
The black-clad old man shook his head and said, "I can't give it to you yet. You have not obtained the recognition of the Blue Dragon Palace yet. You cannot take anything away from here."
Xiao Chen revealed a bitter smile. It looked like he was thinking the same thing. He glanced around and looked at the entrance to the second floor.
"What do I have to do to obtain the recognition of the Blue Dragon Palace?"
The black-clad old man revealed an embarrassed expression and said, "I'm not sure about that, either …"
"That can't be. Aren't you the Item Soul of the Blue Dragon Palace? How come you don't know?" Ao Jiao exclaimed in shock.
The black-clad old man smiled bitterly and said, "Truth be told, I used to be a servant of the Qing Emperor. After I died, the Qing Emperor took pity on me and merged my soul with his saber, becoming the Item Soul of his saber. Before the Qing Emperor left, he pleaded for mercy on my behalf, allowing me to attach myself to the Blue Dragon Palace.
"I am not the true core Item Soul of the Blue Dragon Palace. This Blue Dragon Palace is even more ancient than you imagine. It has many secrets. Back then, even the Qing Emperor did not manage to figure them out."
The old man's words made Xiao Chen's expression turn grave. After hearing the old man's words, he looked at the Blue Dragon Palace again. There was a strange feeling that made him doubtful.
The black-clad old man whispered, "Back then, your strength was too low. I didn't let you go to the second floor because I didn't want you to be humiliated. The core Item Soul of the Blue Dragon Palace has a bad temper and is very strange. "
"Little old man, can't I hear you if you keep your voice down? Since he has the bloodline of the Blue Dragon, I will naturally follow the rules. Whether he can succeed or not depends on his ability. Why should I humiliate him? "
Suddenly, a resonant and deep voice resounded in the vast Azure Dragon Palace. The tone of the voice was very high, and it contained a strong might.
Xiao Chen felt his eardrums buzzing and a little pain. The Blue Dragon Martial Soul in his body was trembling non-stop.
The black-clad old man smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go. I will take you to the second floor to meet Brother Long. That is the true inheritance of the Blue Dragon Palace."
Xiao Chen nodded and followed the black-clad old man to the second floor with Ao Jiao.
"Senior, let me ask you something. Back then, after the Qing Emperor returned to the Kunlun Realm, who dealt him the fatal blow, forcing him to flee to the Yellow Springs Hell?"
The black-clad old man trembled when he heard this. He paused for a moment before saying, "How many years has it been? There is no need to look into it so clearly. Even the Qing Emperor forgave that person. Why are you so conflicted?"
After saying that, the black-clad old man fell silent. Clearly, he was not willing to mention that past.
It looks like there is more to this than meets the eye, Xiao Chen analyzed in his heart. However, this is not the time to pursue this. I have to obtain the acknowledgment of the Blue Dragon Palace first.
I still don't know what happened to Big Brother Ying and the Fox King outside. I have to quickly obtain the inheritance of the Blue Dragon Palace.
Xiao Chen had a bad feeling about this, but he could not pinpoint it. Back then, he rejected Ying Zongtian's suggestion to not let the Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean follow him.
Xiao Chen relied on this premonition. As he thought this, he unknowingly passed through a large door and arrived on the second floor.
The moment he looked up, he discovered a pair of large azure eyes containing a boundless Dragon Might staring at him.
In the next moment, he discovered a humongous dragon head nearly sticking to his nose.
"Roar!"
The dragon's head opened wide, and a vast baleful aura spread out.
Xiao Chen could not endure it and stumbled back a few steps. However, he did not fall. After he stabilized himself, his heart pounded heavily.
"Not bad. You have passed the first stage. You are qualified to take the test."
