The Ethereal Immortal Palace key!
The Ethereal Immortal Palace key in Chu Chaoyun's hand surprised Xiao Chen. This meant that Wenren Yu's group was here for the Ethereal Immortal Palace key as well?
"You found this in the Final Blood Battlefield?" Xiao Chen asked softly as he looked at Chu Chaoyun.
Chu Chaoyun nodded slightly and raised his eyebrows. He could tell what Xiao Chen was implying. "You seem to know about the Ethereal Immortal Palace key."
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He took out the two Ethereal Immortal Palace keys he had. The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor had given him one, and he was "temporarily" keeping the other for Yuan Zhen.
"Two?"
"One is mine, and I'm temporarily keeping the other for someone else."
Lin Feng said, "Let's go first. This place is not safe."
"Right."
The three soared into the air and mounted the Demon Blood Vulture, quickly flying far away. Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun showed calm expressions, not showing any changes in their expressions. Only Lin Feng frowned slightly when he turned his head and looked at the ten-odd corpses on the ground.
Lin Feng had stayed in the Underworld God Hall before and knew how big of a matter it was for ten-odd Underworld God Guards to die.
After the three left for four hours, Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan rushed over with a group of Underworld God Guards. When they saw the Underworld God Guards' corpses, their expressions changed drastically. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The group of Underworld God Guards behind very professionally stepped forward to check the corpses, their injuries, and the cause of death, to see who could be saved.
After a while, one of them stepped forward and said, "Lord Yan, eighteen Underworld God Guards are all dead. They died no more than ten hours ago. There are sword wounds, lingering auras of the Death Dao Domain, and arrow wounds. It seems like a Demonic Dao expert used a ghost pennant as a sacrifice, leaving no souls behind. "
The injuries were all messy, not easy to analyze. Just thinking about it gave Yan Cangming a headache.
Yan Cangming asked, "Zhen Yuan, what kind of conditions do you think are needed to kill twenty-odd Underworld God Guards?"
Zhen Yuan thought for a while before replying, "At least a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor expert or stronger. they would have a suppressive advantage, unable to flee. However, this possibility is very small. 3-Vein Sovereign Emperors and above can be considered Great Perfection Sovereign Emperors. The appearance of such enemies will not escape the Underworld God Hall's attention. "
Silence. No one at the scene spoke. Everyone's face was a little ugly.
More than ten Sovereign Emperors died. This was not an era of war. The Underworld God Hall rarely suffered such heavy casualties.
Everyone knew that someone was going to be out of luck.
Yan Cangming said indifferently, "That's it, then. Continue searching for Chu Chaoyun. I will report this and get the Vice Palace Master to send the Underworld God Protector to the Final Blood Battlefield to receive us."
"Yes."
When the others saw Yan Cangming so calm, they felt confused. However, they still obeyed and scattered.
Zhen Yuan said softly, "I thought that you would fly into a rage."
Yan Cangming's expression did not change as he said sullenly, "The ones who died were the Underworld God Hall's people. There were no Flood Dragon Humans, so it has nothing to do with me. This problem cannot be blamed on me. A Righteous Dao Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor must have sneaked in. The Underworld God Hall is at fault. What does it have to do with me? "
Zhen Yuan felt slightly stunned. Then, he understood that Yan Cangming had made up his mind to push the blame to the Underworld God Hall's intelligence department.
…
The Demon Blood Vulture flew for half a day before stopping near the edge of the Final Blood Battlefield.
With the Demon Blood Vulture guarding, Xiao Chen and the other two circulated their energies with their eyes closed, recovering their exhausted Divine Energy and Soul Energy.
Chu Chaoyun exhausted the least. One hour later, he was the first to open his eyes.
Chu Chaoyun looked around and fixed his gaze on Xiao Chen, who circulated his Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique. A strange look flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself.
Dual cultivation of the demonic and righteous. To think that Xiao Chen chose to dual cultivate. Those who took this path did not end up well.
After a while, Xiao Chen and Lin Feng opened their eyes one after another.
"I'll go ahead and scout the way."
Lin Feng entered deep thought. He knew that Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun were old acquaintances and would definitely have something to say to each other.
After a while, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun started chatting casually.
Naturally, the first thing they talked about was the Ethereal Immortal Palace key. Xiao Chen was very interested in this key.
In Peach Blossom City, the Profound Heaven's Holy Son did his best to obtain the key. In the Faux God World, Zhen Yuan did the same.
Now, Chu Chaoyun took the risk to come to the Final Blood Battlefield for the same reason.
"Speaking of the Ethereal Immortal Palace key, naturally, we have to talk about the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Everyone is interested in the Wings of Time in the Ethereal Immortal Palace."
Xiao Chen knew all this, so he gestured for Chu Chaoyun to continue.
"No one knows the exact location of the Misty Immortal Palace. However, after the last Demonic Calamity, the Misty Immortal Palace was located there. However, after the previous Demonic Calamity, every few thousand years, a diviner would swear that the Ethereal Immortal Palace would appear. At the very beginning, it would attract the experts of the Righteous Dao and Demonic Dao of the entire Great Thousand Realms. However, they would return empty-handed every time. As time passed, everyone became indifferent to it.
"Furthermore, even if the Ethereal Immortal Palace appears and we gather all seven keys, it will be useless without the inheritance key."
Chu Chaoyun paused for a moment before continuing, "It is the same this time. The top diviners of the four dynasties — the Tianwu Dynasty, the Shenwu Dynasty, the Yanwu Dynasty, and the Xuewu Dynasty — prophesied that the Ethereal Immortal Palace will appear again."
Xiao Chen suddenly understood. So, whether it was true or not, the four dynasties had to make a move.
After careful thought, Zhen Yuan's Hidden Spirit Temple represented the Yanwu Dynasty. The Profound Heaven's Holy Son, Wenren Yu, represented the Shenwu Dynasty. In addition, Chu Chaoyun represented the Tianwu Dynasty.
Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, "It looks like you thought of it as well. Although the prophecy is not accurate, it concerns the Wings of Time. The three dynasties have to make a move. Hence, they sent people like us to collect keys. This key of mine was snatched from Wenren Yu's hands … "
Xiao Chen said after some thought, "I still do not understand. What is the point of obtaining this key? If we cannot find the inheritance key, it will be useless."
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it is indeed useless. However, with one key, one has the capital to compete for the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Those without keys do not even have the qualifications. Hence, they still have to compete for it. Even if they know that it is useless, once they obtain it, they will have the capital to keep each other in check. "
Xiao Chen was not stupid. With just a hint from Chu Chaoyun, he figured out the principle.
There were only two words: keeping each other in check and grasping the initiative. Without a key, one would be in a much more passive position if one wanted to compete for the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
Chu Chaoyun took a sip of wine and suddenly said, "Actually, I know some information about the inheritance key. Speaking of which, it has something to do with your Dragon Race."
"Oh?"
Xiao Chen felt slightly startled. This piqued his interest. Speaking of which, only the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor truly used the Wings of Time.
Actually, it was not surprising that the inheritance key had something to do with the Dragon Race.
"It is rumored — just rumored — that only one person knows the location of the inheritance key. That person is someone from your Dragon Race."
When Xiao Chen heard that, a person immediately appeared in his mind. He could not help saying, "The previous-generation Heaven Dragon!"
Chu Chaoyun nodded and said, "That's right, that's him. Rumor has it that the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor did not kill the previous-generation Heaven Dragon because he wanted to force out the inheritance key's location. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any results … "
The tragic scene of the previous-generation Heaven Dragon being imprisoned in the Starry Heavens Dragon Prison appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. It was not just the physical body but also the soul that suffered constant torture.
Now that Xiao Chen put it that way, it did seem like a method to force the previous-generation Heaven Dragon to submit.
Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. How did you survive after leaving the Kunlun Realm?"
"Me? That's a long story. "When Xiao Chen thought back to how he left the Kunlun Realm and got to where he was today step by step, he found it incredibly difficult.
First, he wandered the outer realm for five years. During that period, he faced so many trials and dangers that he could not even count.
After he entered the Central Great Realm, he had settled down in the Heaven Dragon Palace. In the end, he was chased out in a sorry state.
Fortunately, he had advanced to Sovereign Emperor now. Everything was over.
However, Xiao Chen did not know when Liu Ruyue could truly tell him the truth.
After giving a rough account of his experiences, Xiao Chen said, "Let's talk about you. I'm more curious about how you managed to survive these years."
Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, "I was slightly luckier. I have the bloodline of the Tianwu Dynasty's Royal Clan. The moment I left the Kunlun Realm, the Tianwu Dynasty's old ancestor sensed my bloodline wandering outside. The four dynasties attach great importance to the Royal Clan's bloodline. Once they discover a Royal Clan disciple wandering outside, they will do their best to find him.
"I only wandered for a year before I was brought back. My bloodline was verified, and I was recognized as a descendant. Then, my name was written in the clan records. Later, I learned that the prince who came to the Kunlun Realm in a fit of pique was actually an incredible existence. After he left the Kunlun Realm, he actually returned to the Tianwu Dynasty and became the emperor. He even became the Universe Origin Sect's Palace Master. "
Xiao Chen knew that Chu Chaoyun was referring to the Kunlun Realm's first-generation Tianwu Emperor. "Then, have you ever thought about taking revenge?"
Chu Chaoyun shook his head and said, "That fellow died long ago. He ran into a bad era. He was a genius, but he could not become a True God. Now, that group of old fellows from the Royal Clan thinks that I will be a second Xiao Chen. The resources they give me are practically limitless. Speaking of which, it is really funny. I clearly hate that fellow to death. However, he is now my most hated enemy. "
When Xiao Chen heard this, he could not help but turn silent. Fate was fickle; it really liked to play tricks on people.
Chu Chaoyun had worked hard in the Kunlun Realm for his entire life. He wanted to charge out and ask that fellow, who left without caring about the destruction of the Kunlun Realm's Tianwu Dynasty, why was he so heartless.
However, who knew, the first-generation Tianwu Emperor had died long ago. Now, because Chu Chaoyun had the first-generation Tianwu Emperor's bloodline and came from the same realm, he ended up being treated as the person he hated the most.
However, Chu Chaoyun could not explain this to anyone. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
A figure flashed, and Lin Feng returned. He said sullenly, "We have to leave tonight. Otherwise, when the Underworld God Protectors charge over, it will be hard for us to escape."
