The divine tree already appeared. Where was the Ethereal Immortal Palace?
The Yan Emperor Divine Tree appeared before everyone in its majestic form, swaying its branches. The exuberant lifeforce turned into jade-green raindrops covering the vast core region.
Looking at the core region, the towering trees towered into the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
It started as a sapling, growing so fast that everyone could only look up at it, unable to see its peak.
At the same time, this gave everyone a sense of the vastness of the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb's core region. This towering tree was very majestic. However, it was just a drop in the ocean in the core region.
The place where it stood had its own magical power, able to contain everything.
Compared to the other outstanding talents searching for clues to the Ethereal Immortal Palace, Xiao Chen had a much easier time.
As the green raindrops fell on him, his injuries slowly healed.
After the green lifeforce entered his body, it felt like a warm flame slowly burning. It felt warm, like a spring breeze blowing across the land, bringing a vast lifeforce.
Xiao Chen clenched his fist tightly, and the surging Divine Energy in his body surged like the waves of a great river.
Inside Nie Tian's Soul Pool, the sea of soul power that had dried up started to bubble. The Blue Dragon Divine Seal was like an ancient god that had been asleep for a long time. When it opened its eyes, three rings of light appeared in the sea of Soul Energy, surging with waves.
Xiao Chen's Divine Energy surged, and his soul returned to its peak.
His tightly clenched right fist contained the vast energy brought by his Divine Energy and Soul Energy. This feeling was great.
Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a smile.
His soul was restricted, and his strength plummeted. This was not a good feeling. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Two figures descended from the ancient Yan Emperor Tree. They were Hao Kai and Xiao Suo.
"Big Brother, the Ninth Prince sent us down to protect you. He said that you are interested in the Ethereal Immortal Palace and will definitely clash with the other factions."
After Xiao Suo landed, he explained to Xiao Chen why he left Wang Yan.
Hao Kai added, "This Ninth Prince is a pretty good person. He sent Wu Meng and the others to search for the Yan Emperor Fruits and sent us back."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from the ancient Yan Emperor Tree. Then, he said calmly, "He can only rely on himself for the final stage. If not for Wang Yun occupying the ninth altar, he would have become the crown prince. However, it is hard to say now."
The third round of the Crown Prince Selection was closely related to the second round.
The ancient Yan Emperor Tree grew on the dynasty's Dragon Vein. Wang Yan and Wang Yun, who had perfectly merged with the Dragon Vein, had a great advantage over the other princes.
The position of Crown Prince could only be between the two of them.
"Nothing, still nothing!"
Chu Chaoyun, who was holding the Ethereal Immortal Palace key tightly, opened his eyes and shook his head in disappointment.
The current Martial Epoch was like rotten wood. It retained its shape but lost its charm long ago.
The momentum of the Cycle of the Epochs was unstoppable. The Wings of Time, the strongest Transcendent Grade Soul Tool of the Martial Epoch, had once reversed the situation and defeated the Black Dragon King. There was no reason for it not to show up.
At this moment, the various outstanding talents who had not climbed the Yan Emperor Divine Tree were all interested in the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
At first, he was still hiding it, but now that the tide had receded, he had no choice but to reveal it.
Apart from the inheritance key, there were a total of seven keys to the Immortal Palace.
The tide receded, and it was just nice to see who held the key to the Immortal Palace.
Xiao Chen looked around and glanced at Yuan Zhen, who was still seated on the lotus platform in the clouds, bathing in a bright Buddhist light.
Yuan Zhen, who had the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's karma, frowned. It seemed like something exceeded his expectations.
Xiao Chen was the one who gave Yuan Zhen his Ethereal Immortal Palace key. There was no need to guess.
Two people stood on a distant mound. Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan stood side by side. Clearly, these two also had an Ethereal Immortal Palace key.
Xi, who wore the scarlet dragon cloak, had Ming Xuan and Yang Qing accompanying him. The third Ethereal Immortal Palace key had to be in his hands.
The Profound Heaven Holy Land's Wenren Yu and Dao Yan were together. Wenren Yu probably had an Ethereal Immortal Palace key as well.
Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun each had one. The final key had to be in the hands of the Silver Dragon King's group.
When Xiao Chen looked over, a strange look flashed in his eyes. The Dragon God Crown Prince Qin Ming actually stood up.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen happened to meet the other party's gaze. A cold murderous intent sent a chill through his body.
Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. The ancient Yan Emperor Tree's vigorous lifeforce healed his injuries, allowing him to return to his peak.
However, Qin Ming, who was nearly half-dead and nearly crippled, underwent a nirvanic rebirth and improved.
"Nephew, there is no need to lower yourself to his level for now. Finding the Ethereal Immortal Palace is more important. His Majesty instructed us to prioritize the Wings of Time."
The Silver Dragon King feared Qin Ming and could not hold back, charging over on impulse.
Earlier, Qin Ming had been crushed into a pile of mush and was in a deep sleep. He did not know how horrifying Xiao Chen, who possessed Heavenly Slayer, was.
If Qin Ming thought that he could defeat Xiao Chen after undergoing a nirvanic rebirth, that would not be good.
"I know."
Qin Ming showed a stern and stern expression, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. However, he still slowly withdrew his gaze.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, not minding it.
Previously, the chaotic scene had actually become somewhat deserted under the towering ancient tree.
The other guests followed the princes and climbed up the ancient Yan Emperor Tree.
Even if this round did not have much to do with them, they still had to fight for the Yan Emperor Fruits hidden on the tree.
Not only did the Yan Emperor Fruits have the miraculous effect of extending one's lifespan, but legend said that they could also increase one's Luck, allowing one's Luck to soar.
The higher one's cultivation, the more one could sense the existence of fate. Naturally, one's desire for Luck increased.
Compared to the illusory Ethereal Immortal Palace and the Wings of Time, which involved a lot of things, these people were more interested in the tangible Yan Emperor Fruits.
Where is the Ethereal Immortal Palace?
The people with Ethereal Immortal Palace keys were like Chu Chaoyun, feeling somewhat confused.
Looking at the silent Chu Chaoyun, Xiao Chen suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought that the Ethereal Immortal Palace will not appear without the inheritance key?"
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen said after some thought, "Actually, I think this. For tens of thousands of years, there have been predictions of the Ethereal Immortal Palace appearing. However, none of them have been accurate. If it happened once or twice, it could be due to the standards of these diviners. However, there has to be another reason for the thousands of failures. "
Chu Chaoyun's eyes lit up. He had never heard of such a theory before.
"I believe that in the past, someone must have gathered all seven keys and only lacked the inheritance key. Since one lacks the inheritance key, even if the Ethereal Immortal Palace appears, one cannot enter. In that case, what is the point of the Ethereal Immortal Palace not appearing? "
Understanding dawned on Chu Chaoyun. He said, "Are you saying that the Ethereal Immortal Palace can sense the existence of the inheritance key or a similar formation? Without the seven keys and the inheritance key, the formation in the Ethereal Immortal Palace would not be activated, unable to appear. "
"That's right. That is my guess. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the predictions for tens of thousands of years have failed time and time again."
Xiao Chen lowered his head and casually fiddled with his fingers. Then, he said softly, "However, this is just a guess. After all, the inheritance key was lost long ago. There is no way to truly gather all the keys and test them."
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, Chu Chaoyun shifted his gaze to Jiang He.
"Don't look at me. I really don't know where the inheritance key is …"
Jiang He showed a helpless expression as he quickly explained. If he knew, he would have said it long ago. Not everyone could endure Xi's torture.
"Boom!"
Jiang He lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers. Then, he suddenly raised his head. The instant Jiang He raised his head, the Blue Dragon image behind him turned solid. Its long hair fluttered, showing its sharpness. With a wave of his hand, he executed Firmament's Rage.
The rage of a Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon formed a gigantic palm. Five Element Divine Lightning flowed in the palm, rising and falling, looking like an immortal nation.
"Bang!"
This palm strike happened to clash with Yuan Zhen, who attacked without any warning.
Yuan Zhen, who sat on a lotus platform in the sky, executed All Things to Nothing. Using the supreme Buddhist Might, he formed a golden Buddha palm that covered the sky and sun.
The two palms clashed, producing a loud sound and a strong wind.
The ancient Yan Emperor Tree, which towered into the clouds, trembled endlessly in the strong wind caused by the shock waves.
The many guests searching for Yan Emperor Fruits on the tree felt like the world collapsed.
The weaker guests were instantly flung off, screaming endlessly.
"Retreat!"
Xiao Chen pulled Jiang He and turned into a flash of purple electric light as he retreated.
After Xiao Suo landed, he tightly grasped the Scarlet Blood War Banner. Then, together with Wu Meng, he shielded Xiao Chen, Chu Chaoyun, and Jiang He with grave expressions.
The shock waves of the two palm strikes lingered in the air for a long time. The lightning and the shattered golden Buddha palm materialized a horrifying mysterious phenomenon.
From an outsider's point of view, such a large space had become a terrifying forbidden zone.
Bathed in a gentle Buddhist light, Yuan Zhen sat on the lotus platform and slowly passed through the forbidden zone formed by the shock waves. Then, he looked around and fixed his gaze on Jiang He.
Yuan Zhen's purpose immediately became clear. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Three figures arrived in an instant. Xi led Ming Xuan and Yang Qing over.
"Xiao Chen, it looks like you are not the only one who figured out the crux of the problem."
After Chu Chaoyun said that, Jiang He felt very uneasy. He smiled bitterly endlessly. After all, the one in the sky was the unfathomable Yuan Zhen.
Jiang He had already experienced the various means of the three charging over from the ground.
Jiang He cursed endlessly in his heart. However, he was not cursing these people but his heartless father.
Father, you really harmed your son … If you really knew about the inheritance key, you could have just told me. That way, I would not be in such a state where I cannot explain myself.
"Hand this person to me."
Xi did not waste any words, getting straight to the point.
"Sure."
Xiao Chen was exceptionally straightforward, startling Jiang He and Xi. "However, you have to use the Scarlet Dragon Sacred Robe you are wearing to exchange for it."
Xi revealed a faint smile, and the deep abyssal cross in his left eye appeared again. Then, it turned into a blazing scarlet flame.
Kacha! Kacha!
Crack! Crack! "This strange scarlet flame ignited at the bottom of Xi's left eye and burned endlessly. It was like it burned through the barriers of many worlds, traversing a boundless distance. Then, it burned out of Xi's eye socket and reached his eyebrows.
The instant the scarlet flame burned out of Xi's eye socket, the fear from the deep abyss materialized and surged over.
Combined with the smile on Xi's face, he looked extremely reclusive.
"Whoosh!"
When faced with this materialized fear, Xiao Suo and the others had to take a few steps back before slowly coming to a stop.
Even so, they still did not dare to look at Xi's face.
"Xiao Chen, do you know who is your friend and who is your enemy in this place?"
Xi asked, not taking advantage of the instant his aura suppressed Xiao Chen and the others to come out. Instead, he continued to smile.
Xiao Chen looked straight at Xi and replied calmly, "My friends are in front of me and on my left and right."
Naturally, Xiao Suo and Xiao Chen were in front. Chu Chaoyun and Jiang He were on his left and right.
"Wrong!"
Xi blurted out without hesitation. He showed a serious expression, exuding an unquestionable charm.
"The old epoch has already aged, and the new epoch is about to begin. Epochs come and go, the cycle of reincarnation never ending. Do you really understand that reincarnation is more than just these four words? This was the general trend. It was a trend that no one could stay out of, and no one could stay out of it. Aside from me, the people around you might not have a choice or follow the trend. They might betray you! Abandon you! Kill you! "
Xi enunciated every word like a clap of thunder, ringing in Xiao Chen's mind, targeting the weakest spot in his heart.
Betray you! Abandon you! Kill you!
These three words lingered in Xiao Chen's mind, reverberating without scattering.
Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically. He had thought of a similar problem when Chu Chaoyun sought out Xiao Chen for cooperation.
Xi's confident words meant that aside from Xiao Chen, no one else could be trusted.
Why is he so confident? Is he a contingency plan that Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun laid back then? Does he know my identity as a Blue Dragon?
