The clouds broke, the moon came, and the flowers turned into shadows.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself on the Demon Blood Vulture. Perhaps this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
After searching for three days in this vast snowy region, he had not found anything. Now that the change was sudden, there had to be something strange about it.
"That is …"
Xiao Chen looked to the front. He vaguely saw a dreamy palace bathed in moonlight at the limits of his vision.
Without overthinking, Xiao Chen got the Demon Blood Vulture to rush over at full speed.
Only scattered snowflakes drifted in the air. The gentle moonlight warmed one's heart like fire. The chill in the night lessened significantly.
The originally vast and boundless snowy region, which lacked lifeforce, suddenly turned somewhat chaotic.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, It looks like there are many people like me hiding in this snowy region.
Suddenly:
Three figures appeared from the left and unexpectedly ran into Xiao Chen.
On the Demon Blood Vulture, Xiao Chen showed a calm expression, showing a relaxed gaze.
The other three felt slightly stunned and kept their guard up. However, when they saw Xiao Chen on the Demon Blood Vulture, their expressions immediately relaxed.
"Xiao Chen!"
The oldest of the three, the gray-clad, middle-aged man smiled faintly and said softly, "I've heard of you. You were the one who ruined the First Prince's wedding. You even fought against the three princes in the Smiling Daughter Pavilion by yourself."
These three were the Tenth Prince's guests. The Tenth Prince's strength was below average. On the surface, he looked about the same as the Ninth Prince.
"It looks like rumors are just rumors. Even if a 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor can overturn the heavens, how strong can he be?"
The gray-clad man originally felt wary, thinking that he had run into a strong enemy. When he saw that it was Xiao Chen, his expression immediately eased up.
Xiao Chen looked up. The moonlight turned brighter, and the ancient palace in front slowly became clearer.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the aura of the Ice Great Dao was hidden under its white exterior.
Without needing to guess, he knew that this was the inheritance land.
However, it only showed itself under the moonlight. Hence, there were no signs of it during the first three days.
Xiao Chen looked at the gray-clad man before him, a peak 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
There were flames hidden in his eyes, and a terrifying power was brewing in his body, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
"So?"
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"It's not good to get into a conflict with this person now. I'll decide what to do after I reach the inheritance ground and meet up with the Tenth Prince."
One of the three, a white-haired old man, secretly transmitted his voice to the grey-robed man.
The grey-clothed man's eyes were slightly disappointed. He had a strong desire to fight and wanted to trample on Xiao Chen on the spot.
But in the end, he felt that the inheritance was more important, so he endured it for now.
Such an attitude was not strange. Xiao Chen was just a 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor, yet he could become famous in the imperial capital. There would always be some people who felt dissatisfied.
If he could trample on him, his reputation would become even more prominent.
In one's life, fame and fortune were all that mattered. Naturally, those who wanted to fight for it would fight for it. Even Sovereign Emperors could not avoid it.
"Count yourself lucky. Let's go."
The grey-robed man didn't want to waste his breath on Xiao Chen. With a cold snort, he turned around and left.
How boring …
Xiao Chen felt speechless. The Demon Blood Vulture he sat on flashed with a red light.
In this Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb, Xiao Chen possessed a Great Desolate Eon bloodline and the Ten Thousand Dragons Art.
The pressure he faced was seventy to eighty percent less than the others.
Xiao Chen increased his speed slightly. The three, who were walking in front, heard the sound of wind behind them.
When they turned their heads back, they only saw an afterimage left by a flash of scarlet light.
When the three quickly turned their heads back, they saw Xiao Chen sitting on the Demon Blood Vulture, about to leave their vision.
"This …"
This startled the three. They had not expected Xiao Chen to be so fast.
In the eyes of the person who recalled, Xiao Chen's actions were undoubtedly mocking him, so he immediately felt enraged.
"Damn it! How dare you, Xiao Chen?! You were acting like a coward earlier. I was not paying attention, and you took advantage of me. Chase after him! "
The gray-robed man took the lead. His Divine Energy surged, and his entire body released a fiery light as his figure flashed wildly.
However, even after fifteen minutes, he still did not see Xiao Chen's figure, which made him feel uncertain.
"This Xiao Chen must be hiding!"
The gray-robed man looked around helplessly when he did not see Xiao Chen's figure.
"Never mind, never mind. Since he is hiding, there is no need to fight with him."
The white-haired old man and another person rushed over and consoled the gray-robed man when they saw the situation.
The gray-robed man took advantage of the situation and said coldly, "Count him lucky. I hope I don't run into him again."
The ancient palace looked magnificent under the moonlight, giving off a faint fluorescent light, looking dreamy.
However, in front of the palace, there were two ice statues blocking the entrance.
The ice statues gave off the aura of a 4-Vein Sovereign Emperor. As they connected with the moonlight, they merged into one, deterring rash actions.
Not far away:
A prince dressed in luxurious clothes looked at the ancient palace with excitement on his face.
However, the guest at the side advised softly, "Tenth Prince, it is best not to act rashly for now. It will not be too late for us to enter after Senior Rong arrives."
The Tenth Prince nodded. "These two ice statues are somewhat strange. Indeed, we cannot act rashly. Aside from me, the guests of the other princes in this snowy region are all scattered soldiers. When Senior Rong arrives, this ice inheritance will be mine. "
"Whoosh!"
Right after the Tenth Prince spoke, a strong wind blew behind them. The two turned their heads to look and shouted, "Who is it?!"
Amidst the snowstorm, no one responded.
There was only a flash of burning blood light, which was like a fleeting glimpse. It was so fast that the two ice sculptures didn't even have time to react.
Then, it turned into a scarlet beam of light and entered the palace.
"Ah!"
The Tenth Prince happened to see this scene when he turned around. His expression immediately changed drastically as he roared, "Damn it! Who is so bold to snatch the inheritance that I want?!"
Seeing that the Tenth Prince was about to charge in, the expert at the side quickly supported him and said anxiously, "Your Highness, don't be rash. Those two ice statues are not dead."
"Whoosh!"
The eyes of the two ice statues sensed the Tenth Prince's figure and flickered with bright light. Two cold intents assaulted the Tenth Prince, scaring him into retreating.
Inside the palace, Xiao Chen sat on the Demon Blood Vulture's back.
He watched coldly as the surrounding ice statues came to life. Then, he leaped down from the air.
The instant Xiao Chen landed, he activated his Alloy Dragon Armor, and his aura changed drastically.
A sharpness burst forth from his forehead. Dragon motifs adorned his silver armor, and electric light flickered.
Xiao Chen reached for the scabbard on his back. Just as the ice statues were about to pounce over, he drew his saber.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the man and the vulture charged madly through the ancient palace, completely unbridled.
Xiao Chen swept through everything in his way, not stopping at all.
Everywhere he passed, there were all sorts of strange treasures. However, Xiao Chen only glanced at them and did not pay them any more attention.
One hour later, Xiao Chen charged to the core hall of the ice palace and stopped.
Many ice-attributed treasures were casually placed on the surrounding walls. Natural treasures covered the ground.
This was simply a dreamy treasure trove. Everything that Xiao Chen wanted could be found here.
However, Xiao Chen did not show any wild joy on his face.
Along the way, Xiao Chen felt very confused. This inheritance was at the periphery. After the succession race, it should not have been emptied out. At the very least, there should not be such treasures left.
"It looks like your rationality did not get to your head. Congratulations on passing the test."
"Whoosh!"
The ceiling seemed transparent. When one looked up, they could see the bright moon.
Under the dazzling light, a middle-aged man dressed in white with an elegant temperament seemed to have descended from the moon.
When Xiao Chen looked carefully, he found that this person looked somewhat similar to the Yan Emperor.
Xiao Chen vaguely guessed that this should be the remnant will of the Yan Emperor who left behind the inheritance.
"The treasures on the ground are all fake?"
Xiao Chen asked.
The white-clad Yan Emperor smiled warmly and replied, "Wrong. They are all real. However, there is only one. It contains the ice inheritance that I left behind. Everyone who comes in has only one chance to choose. As long as one makes the wrong choice, not only will one not obtain any treasures, but one will also be forcefully sent out. This inheritance of mine will also close and await the next opening of the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb. "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. "That is to say, no one has chosen the right one even after ten thousand years."
"I have a question. If I choose that supreme treasure containing the inheritance, can I obtain the other treasures?"
Xiao Chen asked without changing his expression.
The white-clad Yan Emperor smiled and said, "You seem very confident. However … you cannot. If you find the right one, you will have two choices. One is the ice inheritance that I left behind, and the other is the other treasures containing Dragon Essence. "
Disappointment flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. After some thought, he said, "That is really unfortunate."
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he walked straight to an item.
The white-clad Yan Emperor's expression immediately changed slightly. Intense surprise flashed in his eyes. However, this surprise mostly contained a wild joy that he had suppressed for thousands of years.
However, Xiao Chen did not even bother looking at the treasures.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and a beautiful, blood-red rose by the wall appeared in his palm.
The white-clad Yan Emperor asked softly, "How did you guess it? I thought that you would need to think about it for a while before making a decision."
"The answer was given long ago. After entering this palace, anyone who still needs to think would not be able to guess it."
When the white-clad Yan Emperor heard that, he smiled faintly and said, "That's right. The clouds break the moon, and the flowers show the shadows!"
"Only the rose is red in the snow!"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he continued calmly.
"If you are not a soulmate, don't enter this door! Hahaha! Delightful! Unfortunately … you and I are not in the same era. Otherwise, I would not be so lonely. I should be able to guess your choice. I hope that some of my insights will be useful to you. "
Outside the ancient palace:
The gray-clad man's group finally arrived, panting from exhaustion.
"Tenth Prince, fortunately, we did not let you down. We rushed over at our fastest speed. No one in the entire snowy region should be faster than us. "
The gray-clad man was incredibly fatigued, but his eyes showed pride. Along the way, he had shaken off the many guests, leaving them in the dust.
The Tenth Prince showed an embarrassed expression, not saying anything.
The person at the side said, "Senior Rong, someone already entered. That person is very mysterious. Aside from a flash of scarlet light, I did not notice anything else."
"What?!"
The gray-clad man's heart immediately trembled like lightning struck him. He cried out hoarsely, "It's Xiao Chen! To think that Xiao Chen did not hide. He went ahead of us. How can this be?! "
"Senior Rong, it is too late. We need to move quickly."
The gray-clad man startled awake from his daze. After some thought, he said, "Right, right, right! Quickly charge in!"
With the four guests gathered, the Tenth Prince's confidence soared. With the gray-clad man leading the way, they charged at the two statues.
"Boom!"
However, all of a sudden, without any warning, the entire ancient palace exploded.
Shock waves surged, and the few people went flying. The gray-clad old man bore the brunt of the explosion. Blood trickled down a corner of his lips, and he appeared incredibly pale. After he landed, he tumbled a few times.
