A faint smile appeared on the black-robed spirit's aged face. He said, "You guessed right. However, this is not a place you can enter."
After saying that, the black-robed spirit stretched out his finger, and a dazzling light appeared on his fingertip. Before Ao Jiao could react, her body turned into light and entered the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen's expression changed. He quickly summoned the Lunar Shadow Saber and stared coldly at the black-robed spirit.
"There is no need to be nervous. I just let her have a good sleep. When she wakes up, she might even thank me properly."
The black-robed spirit smiled amicably as he asked Xiao Chen calmly.
Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into the Immortal Spirit Ring. Indeed, it was as the other party said. Ao Jiao lay peacefully beside the Netherworld Flower, asleep.
"I have already waited for you for ten thousand years."
The Blue Dragon Palace's Item Spirit looked at Xiao Chen with excitement in his eyes.
Xiao Chen's heart did not fluctuate much. When he first saw the Blue Dragon Palace, he already had such a feeling. Long ago, when Xiao Xiong discovered that Xiao Chen possessed the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit and chased him out of the clan, Xiao Chen had already guessed that Xiao Chen's origins were extraordinary.
However, was this black-robed spirit trustworthy?
Xiao Chen gently leaped out of the corridor and looked at the other party. He asked calmly, "Who are you? Why have you waited for me for ten thousand years?"
The Blue Dragon Palace's Item Spirit had an unfathomable expression in his deep eyes. He smiled faintly and said, "Who am I? Why don't you ask who you are?"
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. A strange look flashed in his eyes as he stared at the black-robed spirit, trying to find some clues in the other party's eyes.
Who was he? He was the Xiao Clan's Xiao Chen. He was the White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen. However, this was what others thought of him.
Only Xiao Chen knew that he was not. He came from another world. Although he was also called Xiao Chen, he was not the true Xiao Chen.
However, the old man's eyes were deep and boundless, and no clues could be seen. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking, and there was no way to find out what he was thinking.
When the black-clothed old man saw Xiao Chen's expression, he smiled in a friendly manner and said, "There is no need to be so wary. I will not harm you. In fact, if you did not go to the second level, I would not even appear in front of you."
"I can't go up?"
The artifact spirit of the Blue Dragon Palace smiled helplessly and said, "Of course. The entire Blue Dragon Palace is yours. I won't stop you if you pass the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation."
"But you're too weak. The second floor's test will take your life on the spot. I can't even figure out how you managed to pass through the Five Elements Absolute Sealing Array outside."
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and told him how he used the trick to pass through the Five Elements Absolute Sealing Formation.
"So, that's how it is. That youth from five thousand years ago was indeed startling. To think that he could think of such a method to break the formation. It looks like I have to make up for this weakness in the future."
The black-clothed old man revealed an expression of understanding. Then, he turned to Xiao Chen and asked, "How is that youth now? He should be the strongest Sovereign Martial Emperor of this era. The title of Thunder King will probably belong to him."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No, he died many years ago."
The black-clothed old man revealed an expression of shock. He said, "How can that be? He has great Luck. Emperor Wu, who was already a Minor Heavenly Martial Emperor five thousand years ago, has already risen to prominence."
"How could he fall for no reason? The Sovereign Martial Emperors of the Tianwu Domain would not allow him to die. This person could have grown to the level of the Qing Emperor."
When the black-clothed old man heard this news, some panic appeared on his old face. He muttered non-stop, not daring to believe it.
"An absolute genius like the Thunder King, who survived many tribulations to become Emperor Wu, already possesses supreme Luck. Even the Martial Emperors of the other races would not dare to make a move on him."
"Could it be that they did it? That must be the case. One Qing Emperor is already troublesome enough for them. They will not allow another to appear. "
The black-clothed old man muttered to himself. Xiao Chen was confused. He could not understand what was going on. He did not understand why the death of the Thunder King affected this person so much.
After a long time, the black-clothed old man calmed down. He looked at Xiao Chen and seemed to have made up his mind about something. He said, "Your Martial Spirit is already scattered. Originally, I was planning to let you reunite it in the future. It looks like I do not have that much time."
The old man walked around Xiao Chen and arrived behind him. He said, "Turn around. Let me ask you, have you practiced the Dragon Subduing Slash to the second slash? In the end, you have not been able to improve, unable to find the feeling of truly drawing your saber?"
Xiao Chen asked in shock, "How did you know?"
The black-clothed old man smiled faintly and said, "My Martial Spirit is already scattered. How can I learn the essence of Soaring Dragon? Quickly become Emperor Wu and pass the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation. At that time, this old man will serve you."
"Ding!"
He pointed a finger at Xiao Chen's forehead. In an instant, a strong wind blew. Xiao Chen's body floated up uncontrollably. Azure light radiated from his body, and a berserk energy surged out.
All 360 acupoints in Xiao Chen's body exploded. Dragon Qi flowed through his body, scattering everywhere. The berserk energy battered every inch of Xiao Chen's skin and internal organs. It was extremely painful.
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth, and his expression twisted. He was in extreme pain. The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit hidden in his acupoints was completely drawn out.
The Blue Dragon tattoo on his left and right arms slowly dimmed. Under the control of the black-clothed old man's Item Spirit, more than three hundred strands of Dragon Qi flowed into Xiao Chen's dantian.
"Boom!"
When all the strands of Dragon Qi clashed together, they formed and produced an intense explosion in Xiao Chen's body. He immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.
When the light scattered, Xiao Chen sank his consciousness into his dantian. He discovered that the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit, which Song Que had scattered, had actually reformed in his dantian.
Golden patterns appeared on the surface of the originally ordinary dantian, making it look even more solid, dense, and mysterious.
The Veritable Essence Energy liquid around the dantian formed a hundred white clouds floating around the dantian.
After the Blue Dragon Palace's Item Spirit finished doing all this, his body became even fainter. He placed his finger on Xiao Chen's forehead and pushed.
Xiao Chen's body flew back like a cannonball. Then, he landed on the mountain that the Thunder Emperor chopped off with a loud 'bang.'
"Pa!"
The two bronze doors closed, and the black-clothed old man's voice came from inside. "Ten thousand years is not long, but it is not short either. Advance to Martial Emperor quickly, for the Dragon's Gate and for yourself."
As Xiao Chen looked at the tightly shut bronze doors, his mind filled with doubts. He could not connect all these things together.
Why was the Heavenly Flame's Origin Flame sealed in the palace? Why did the Thunder King's death make the old man so anxious? Why did he say that he had waited ten thousand years for me?
The extraordinary Secret Treasure, the Blue Dragon Palace, the fallen Holy Land, the Dragon's Gate, and the unrivaled Qing Emperor … what did all this have to do with him?
Everything was a mess. He could not make sense of it or make sense of it.
"Never mind. I'll just treat it as if I never came here. It will just add to my worries."
Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed. If possible, he just wanted to be a pure bladesman, pursuing the Great Dao of cultivation and standing at the peak of the world.
However, all the clues and everything pointed to the fact that he did not come to this world by chance. His fate might have been decided from the start.
No matter what, increasing his strength was the most important thing. Whether it was simply wanting to survive or to unravel all the mysteries, strength was always the most important.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and stopped looking at the dust-covered Blue Dragon Palace. He condensed his Martial Spirit again, and the Blue Dragon tattoo on his arm vanished.
The most important thing now was to see what kind of changes this would bring to his strength.
Song Que had once shattered Xiao Chen's Martial Spirit, severely injuring him and leaving him on the verge of death. He had been in a sorry state in the underground river, narrowly escaping death. This was something that Xiao Chen would never forget.
Since then, Xiao Chen had always thought that his Martial Spirit would never recover. Unexpectedly, it reunited today.
This made Xiao Chen, who had not had a Martial Spirit for a long time, suddenly feel somewhat unaccustomed. So he circulated his Quintessence slightly.
Half of the white cloud outside his dantian immediately vanished, turning into surging Quintessence that surged through his meridians like a gushing sea, unobstructed.
Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and a strand of dense purple saber Qi whistled through the air. After a long time, it vanished from Xiao Chen's sight.
"Hey, it seems like I can use my Quintessence more smoothly than before."
Xiao Chen said, feeling somewhat surprised. Then, he tested it a few more times and discovered that it was indeed so.
The speed at which his Quintessence flowed was even faster, about twenty percent faster. With a thought, his Quintessence gathered at his fingertip and shot out.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and checked his cultivation. He was overjoyed. It seemed like all the Dragon Qi in his body flowed back and turned into his cultivation.
Now, Xiao Chen was a middle-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch. He had already reached late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch, not far from the peak.
Xiao Chen brandished his fist and circulated pure Vital Qi. He punched the air, and a surging Vital Qi exploded in his fist.
A deafening clap of thunder seemed to ring out from the flat ground. The wind howled and ripples appeared in the air, extending for three thousand meters.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He muttered to himself, "In the past, after I opened my dragon acupoints, my Vital Qi would increase by thirty percent. Now that the Martial Spirit in my acupoints is no longer there, I no longer have such explosive power.
"However, my strength has increased from one million and eight hundred thousand kilograms to one million kilograms. Now that I no longer have the thirty percent explosive power, my ordinary strength has increased by twenty percent. Overall, I have gained a little."
The only thing that disappointed Xiao Chen was that the dragon acupoints in his feet were no longer there. He would not be able to continue using the technique of quickly changing his position within a short distance.
The dragon acupoints in the soles of his feet had helped Xiao Chen many times in his battles. They could be used to attack or retreat; they were very practical.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I should raise my cultivation first. After I refined my cultivation twice and advanced to late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch, I should be able to defeat an opponent like Ximen Bao easily."
With a flip of his hand, fifty-year-old Earth Essence Fruits appeared in his palm. Then, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and ate three in one go.
Fifty-year-old Earth Essence Fruits would only tickle Xiao Chen. Only by consuming a few at the same time could he achieve his goal of raising his cultivation quickly.
After refining the Medicinal Energy of the Earth Essence Fruits, Xiao Chen was not in a rush to consume them. Instead, he spent some time refining the Quintessence that the Medicinal Energy had turned into.
