Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb:
After parting from the Ninth Prince and the Heavenly Book Scholar, Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
If the Ethereal Immortal Palace appeared, it would be in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb. This was not good news for Xiao Chen.
The battle between the Immortal Palace and the Crown Prince was bound to cause a great disturbance.
However, there were too many uncertainties regarding the Immortal Palace.
Putting aside the accuracy of this prophecy, among the seven keys, the most important one, the Inheritance Key, had long been lost.
Without the inheritance key, even a Faux God would not be able to open the doors of the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
Chu Chaoyun once said that the secret of the inheritance key might only be known by the previous Heaven Dragon.
However, the previous-generation Heaven Dragon had been imprisoned in the Starry Heavens Dragon Prison. The Purple Gold Dragon Emperor had tortured the Heaven Dragon for twenty-odd years without finding any clues.
The chances of obtaining the inheritance key were extremely slim.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. The people of the Divine Dragon Empire and the White Marsh Beast Empire have come to Yan City. The people of the Profound Heaven Holy Land and the Universe Origin Sect will probably join in the excitement. Especially the Sacred Son of the Profound Heaven. Back in the Netherworld, he even fought with Chu Chaoyun over the Ethereal Palace's key. "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he thought to himself, If I include the experts of the Azure Lotus Church and the Xuewu Dynasty, the number of factions that will come because of the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb is somewhat frightening.
Of the eight super factions of the Great Thousand Realms, almost everyone except the Pirate Alliance was present.
Currently, of the known keys, Xiao Chen had one, Yuan Zhen had one, Chu Chaoyun had one, and the First Prince had given one to the Azure Lotus Church. Excluding the inheritance key, there were still two keys that had yet to appear.
His head was about to explode. All the clues were in a mess, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Xiao Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about these troublesome things. He started thinking about today's battle.
In the battle at the center of the lake, Xiao Chen finally experienced the strength and terror of the older-generation Sovereign Emperors.
His Divine Energy was stable, his cultivation was strong, and he grasped a Soul Tool.
Due to Xiao Chen's age, his accomplishments in the Dao Domain made others look up to him.
His cultivation stagnated, unable to advance, so he could only increase his strength in other aspects.
The Dao Domain was undoubtedly a good breakthrough point.
As long as he had enough time and his talent wasn't too bad, he would definitely be able to break through.
"Apart from forbidden techniques, I don't seem to have many other methods. However, as long as I don't get trapped in his pocket dimension, I should be able to leave if I want to. "
Xiao Chen muttered in a low voice. Condensing a small world was not an easy task.
Even the Silver Dragon King relied on a Secret Treasure to do so. Furthermore, it was very unstable.
He carefully took stock of his trump cards. Aside from the Forbidden God Demon Body Unsealing Technique, he did not have any other trump cards. Perhaps he could use the Ten Thousand Dragons Art and the Divine Lightning Talisman.
The former could activate the potential of the Royal Blue Dragon Bloodline limitlessly. Xiao Chen could only use less than 1% of the Royal Blue Dragon Bloodline's power.
If he could successfully break through to the second layer, he would experience a huge leap and achieve a qualitative change.
The Ten Thousand Dragons Art had a total of five layers. Breaking through the bottleneck of the second layer was considered Great Perfection.
However, Xiao Chen had only just started cultivating the second layer and was far from reaching the peak. He was even further from breaking through.
As for the Divine Lightning Talisman, he took the risk to use it today, giving Xiao Chen a huge pleasant surprise.
However, its power was too berserk. Xiao Chen could not control it freely despite its strong might, greatly reducing its destructive power.
If he could control some of the Divine Lightning Talisman's power, it might be possible for Xiao Chen to break the small world maintained by the Silver Dragon King's pearl.
The Dao Domain required time or a fortuitous encounter to improve.
Within a short period, Xiao Chen had only two choices when facing the pressure of the older-generation Sovereign Emperors.
One was to cultivate the Ten Thousand Dragons Art, and the other was to control the Divine Lightning Talisman.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen decided to control the Divine Lightning Talisman first. The Ten Thousand Dragons Art would take its time.
He immediately stopped hesitating.
Xiao Chen took out the Ice Fire Lotus Platform and sat down cross-legged. Then, he sank his consciousness into his Soul Pool.
In the vast and boundless Soul Pool, the Blue Dragon Divine Seal shone resplendently and dazzlingly.
The sun and the moon shone together on the Divine Seal, illuminating the sky.
Under the illumination of the light, three glistening ripples appeared on the Soul Pool's surface. These were the three Divine Veins that represented Xiao Chen's Soul Energy cultivation.
After Xiao Chen refined the three Divine Veins, they looked like three slender dragon images burning with a faint divine flame as they continuously swam around the Blue Dragon Divine Seal in the Soul Pool.
As the dragon images swam around, they continuously infused the Soul Energy in the Soul Pool into the Blue Dragon Divine Seal.
It went on and on without end.
Xiao Chen only needed to control the Divine Seal to erupt with Soul Energy, driving the sun and the moon's radiance to bring out the three Divine Vein images.
In the next moment, Xiao Chen's consciousness entered the Blue Dragon Divine Seal.
The Blue Dragon Divine Seal's light twisted and changed, turning into a human figure that looked like Xiao Chen.
In that instant, Xiao Chen felt like he was in a vast and boundless Soul Pool, looking boundlessly mysterious.
"Whoosh!"
In the Soul Pool, the clone formed by the Divine Seal looked straight into the depths of the Soul Pool.
"It's really hidden deep. I can't see any trace of the Divine Lightning Talisman at all. I have to make a trip down."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen's figure flashed, creating ripples as he dove into the water.
When one entered the depths of a cultivator's Soul Pool, one would discover that the Soul Pool was even vaster than the ocean.
However, less than one ten-millionth of the Soul Pool could be used by a cultivator. Most of the area was forbidden.
If one used the Divine Seal as a clone in the Soul Pool, the slightest carelessness could injure one's soul or cause one to get lost.
Normally speaking, no one would take the risk of entering the Soul Pool unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, Xiao Chen had no other choice. For the sake of controlling the Divine Lightning Talisman, he had to give it his all.
Xiao Chen continuously dove into the Soul Pool. The bottom of the netherworld spring was incredibly cold.
Soon, he felt uncomfortable all over, and the Dragon Seal clone slowly dimmed.
The surface of the pool seemed to be sparkling, but in its depths, there was an endless darkness.
It was deep and silent, swallowing everything, unfathomable like the human heart.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Chen could not hold on any longer, an electric light flashed in the darkness. His face immediately lit up in joy.
However, before Xiao Chen's joy faded, it froze. That electric light turned into a weapon and charged at his clone.
He hurriedly dodged and narrowly avoided the attack.
As he dove deeper, the number of electric weapons he encountered increased. He had to be even more cautious.
After about fifteen minutes, the darkness before Xiao Chen vanished. Under the illumination of the electric light, the pool water turned a transparent gold.
"I see you again."
A talisman lay quietly at the bottom of the water far in front.
Xiao Chen did not dare to approach. If he did, he would definitely turn to ashes, his soul scattering.
Compared to when he first saw the Divine Lightning Talisman in the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Chen was much calmer now.
Back then, Xiao Chen did not dare to try to control this Divine Lightning Talisman that the Immortal Epoch's Thunder Ancestor left behind.
Now, he wanted to try and control the Divine Lightning Talisman.
This was the Divine Lightning Talisman that the Thunder Ancestor condensed from the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning of the Immortal Epoch. Back then, when Immortals underwent their lightning tribulations, they all materialized this talisman.
The Thunder Immortal Ancestor controlled the Tribulation Lightning Essence and all the lightning phenomena in the world.
He was the essence of the Dao of Thunder. If he died, the Dao of Thunder would collapse, and no cultivator in the world would be able to use the power of thunder.
Now that this was the Martial Epoch, the might of the Divine Lightning Talisman naturally could not compare to the Immortal Epoch.
However, once it was completely released, it would still be earth-shattering and intimidating.
As long as Xiao Chen could control one-thousandth of its power, he could severely injure a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor.
Although the Divine Lightning Eye could safely use the tribulation lightning's energy, it was not as good as directly controlling it.
"I need to fuse a strand of the Divine Seal's Origin into this talisman."
Xiu!
In the blink of an eye, a ray of light shot out from his finger.
As the light shot out, Xiao Chen's incarnation became noticeably dimmer.
It looked like this strand of Divine Seal's Origin Energy would enter the talisman after dodging the countless electric lights.
"Ka ca!" A weapon made of Divine Lightning broke the Divine Seal's Origin Energy. In reality, Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood, and his complexion instantly paled.
"Again."
After staring for a while, Xiao Chen flicked his finger again, sending out another strand of Divine Seal's Origin Energy.
"Pu ci!"
He failed again. In reality, on the Ice Fire Lotus Platform, Xiao Chen's body gave off many distorted images of his three spiritual souls and seven physical souls.
"One last chance."
Go all out!
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen sent out another strand of Divine Seal's Origin Energy.
If he failed again, his soul would suffer severe injuries. At best, he would need to recuperate for ten years. At worst, his soul would scatter.
"Rumble …!"
However, this final attempt did not disappoint Xiao Chen. That strand of Divine Seal's Origin Energy dodged the electric lights that the talisman sent out and entered it.
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face as he felt the Divine Seal's Origin Energy slowly merging with the talisman.
The instant the merger was complete, Xiao Chen roared ferociously. Then, the Divine Lightning Talisman, which lay quietly at the bottom of the water, shot up like an arrow. The Divine Lightning Talisman was like an unsheathed sword, soaring straight up like an arrow.
As the Divine Lightning Talisman continued to rise, Xiao Chen felt his Soul Energy rapidly draining.
Just as the Divine Lightning Talisman was about to break out of the water, Xiao Chen sighed.
After exhausting all his Soul Energy, the Divine Seal clone turned into countless motes of light and leaped out of the water. Then, it reformed into the Blue Dragon Divine Seal.
Xiao Chen had failed at the last moment. However, the Divine Seal's Origin Energy had already merged with the Divine Lightning Talisman. The next attempt would be much easier.
However, just as Xiao Chen felt disappointed, the surface of the Soul Pool suddenly released tens of thousands of layers of electric light, eclipsing everything else.
A careful look revealed a sharp edge of the Divine Lightning Talisman, looking like a flower bud waiting to bloom.
On the lotus platform, Xiao Chen rejoiced. He opened his eyes, and a brilliant light flickered in them.
A talisman slowly grew in Xiao Chen's right palm. This was a miniature Divine Lightning Talisman formed by the electric energy contained in the tip of the iceberg, combined with Xiao Chen's Dao Domain.
"Good! This one-thousandth of the Divine Lightning Talisman's energy is already sufficient. "
Xiao Chen revealed a smile. The usually calm Xiao Chen found it hard to hide his joy.
"Someone is here."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and spread out his Soul Energy. He sensed Su Ye rushing over, seeming to have something urgent.
Then, he quickly put away the Divine Lightning Talisman in his palm.
It turned into a flash of purple electric light as Xiao Chen leaped out of a window and appeared before Su Ye.
"Xiao Chen, there's a change to our agreement."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. "What happened?"
Su Ye smiled softly and said, "It should be something good. Ling Yu just told me that headliner Ling Long invited him to meet her outside the city alone."
Xiao Chen's expression immediately changed drastically. "Damn it! That fool got fooled. There are only a few days left to the wedding. How can the Smiling Daughter Pavilion let Ling Long go? Quickly chase after her!"
