Xiao Chen felt helpless. He greeted Ying Qiong and Yan Shisan, whom he was familiar with. Then, he stood at the side with Shui Lingling and started chatting.
After a while, a tall cultivator wearing official robes walked out of the warship's hold. Based on his aura, he was actually the Blue Robed Emperor.
Behind him were the elders of the various sects. Most of them had faint smiles on their faces.
No matter what, as long as they could obtain a slot, their sects would have a hundred more Martial Sages within a hundred years. The elders of the various sects who managed to obtain a slot were in a rather good mood.
The Blue Robed Emperor said sullenly, "I believe the elders of your sects have already explained where you will be going later. I will not repeat myself.
"I will only say one thing. Treasure this opportunity well. It was not easy for the Bushin Palace to obtain ten slots for you. Do not forget this favor in the future."
As the Blue Robed Emperor spoke, his gaze lingered on Yan Shisan and Ying Qiong for a long time. Clearly, the upper echelon of the Bushin Palace did not think well of the Sovereign Noble Clans.
They were clearly human factions, but they were not willing to work together. They did not care about the survival of the human race, only caring about their own interests. Furthermore, they were extraordinarily strong.
Yan Shisan's stern face did not show any expression. Ying Qiong's expression did not change either. The two of them did not care about what the Blue Robed Emperor said.
Kunlun Mountain was the center of the entire Kunlun Realm. It was in the center of the Profound Domain and had existed for a long time since the Immortal Epoch.
The Kunlun Realm had five domains: the Fiend Domain, the Ghost Domain, the Deity Domain, the Tianwu Domain, and the Corpse Domain. Each of the five domains was occupied by a race.
There were two other domains, the Primal Chaos Domain and the Profound Domain. There was no need to explain the Primal Chaos Domain. It was a land of chaos and evil, located at the borders of the Kunlun Realm.
The Profound Domain was very different. It was in the center of the Kunlun Realm and bordered all five domains. It had more resources and Remnants than the other five domains combined.
Almost all the elite factions and peak geniuses of the Kunlun Realm had gathered here. The headquarters of the human race's Sovereign Noble Clans were also here.
It was not uncommon for the various clans to fight openly and covertly here. As long as one party was weak, the other clans would immediately occupy their territory.
The Bushin Palace of the Sky Martial Domain, the Ghost Palace of the Ghost Domain, the Corpse God Palace of the Corpse Clan, the Thousand Deity Sect of the God Domain, and the Heavenly Demon Palace of the Demon Domain. These colossal existences like the Bushin Palace had stationed a large number of elite warriors in the Mysterious Domain.
Aside from this, there were also ancient clans like the Sovereign Noble Clans of the human race that had occupied this place for tens of thousands of years.
The factions of the entire Profound Domain were very complicated and chaotic. The competition between the younger generation of the various clans was even more intense. It was not something the clans in their own domains could compare to.
Half a month later, the Emperor Grade Warship of Bushin Palace finally flew out of the vast Tianwu Domain and reached the Profound Domain. However, it was still a long way from Kunlun Mountain.
The Emperor Grade Warship of Bushin Palace pierced through the clouds. Many ancient cities appeared before everyone's eyes.
Several of these cities had great accumulations. Formless dragon images could be seen floating above the cities. That was the King's Qi.
This proved that a Sovereign Martial Emperor once appeared in the faction of this city. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, Sovereign Martial Emperors still looked after their clans.
If the dragon images were solid, it meant that the faction of that city still had a Sovereign Martial Emperor protecting it.
However, most of the dragon images were immaterial. Very few were solid dragon images. The number of Emperor Wu who could be conferred King in the Kunlun Realm could be counted on one's fingers. At least, that was how it looked on the surface.
Xiao Chen looked at the scenery below. After he found it somewhat boring, he returned to his room and took out the painting of Qing Emperor Drawing the Saber.
Soon, knocking came from outside Xiao Chen's room. He put away the painting and opened the door.
When Xiao Chen saw who it was, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that it was too late, much later than he expected.
"Come in, then."
After closing the door, Xiao Chen invited Ying Qiong in. At the same time, he poured her a cup of tea.
Ying Qiong was not in a rush to sit down. Instead, she looked around at Xiao Chen as if this was the first time she saw Xiao Chen.
"I really wonder how many more secrets you have."
Ying Qiong sighed somewhat helplessly before slowly sitting down.
Xiao Chen gave the other party a deep look and asked, "I should be the one asking you that. Why is it that when the people of the three Sovereign Noble Clans saw me, they wanted to kill me with a slap immediately? Only your Ying Clan did not make a move?"
Ying Qiong picked up the teacup and took a sip. She smiled and said, "Qing Emperor had friends as well. When he was in charge of Bushin Palace, our Ying Clan could be considered his ally.
"However, Qing Emperor died ten thousand years ago, and the Dragon's Gate no longer exists. Now, it is hard to say how many people in the Ying Clan still adhere to the alliance from back then."
Xiao Chen thought for a while before asking, "What connection does your Ying Clan have to the Great Qin Nation's Royal Court in the Sky Dome Realm?"
Ying Qiong smiled faintly and said, "It can be considered a very important branch of our Ying Clan. It is very mysterious, but I'm not sure about the details. That is a matter of the upper echelons, directly issued by the ancestor of our Ying Clan. "
Xiao Chen felt excited. It looked like if he had time, he really should make a trip to the Sky Dome Realm. Perhaps Ying Yue knew more than he imagined.
However, there was something else that was more important right now. Xiao Chen asked calmly, "How are the three main ingredients for the Breaking Sage Pill coming along?"
Ying Qiong had prepared for this long ago. He said, "It is rather smooth. I already found two ingredients. I will definitely be able to find the remaining one within two months."
Two months was not a long time; it was much faster than Xiao Chen had expected. Xiao Chen said, "Once you are done, remember to inform me immediately. I can give you the other half of the core painting piece at any time."
Right now, Xiao Chen was more anxious about advancing to Martial Sage than anyone else. Without advancing to Martial Sage, he would not feel safe at all.
Ying Qiong nodded gently and changed the topic. "How much do you know about the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring? Have you ever wondered why cultivators who soak in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring are guaranteed to advance to Martial Emperor within a hundred years?"
Naturally, Xiao Chen had thought about this before. So, he shared his understanding. "Those who can obtain the qualifications to soak in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring are the elites of the elites of the various races. Even describing them as demonic geniuses would be underestimating their talent. Even without the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, they have a high chance of advancing to Martial Emperor.
"The Heavenly Dew Divine Spring cleanses their marrow and blood, raising their already monstrous talent to another level. It would not be strange for them to advance to Martial Emperor earlier."
Ying Qiong giggled and said, "Your guess is pretty good. However, this is not the most crucial point. Do you know what is suppressed under Kunlun Mountain?"
Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity, "What is it?"
"The Rock of Origin!"
The Rock of Origin was very mysterious. It was said to be the heart of the entire Kunlun Realm. Be it the Martial Epoch or the Immortal Epoch, they were all born from it.
Ying Qiong continued, "If the Rock of Origin is destroyed, the entire Kunlun Realm will fall apart. In other words, whoever controls the Rock of Origin will be the true ruler of the Kunlun Realm. The Deep Abyss Demonic World has repeatedly invaded the Kunlun Realm for tens of thousands of years. Their goal is to destroy Kunlun Mountain and obtain the Rock of Origin.
"However, right now, the Rock of Origin is sealed under Kunlun Mountain. The various races cannot control it, and they do not dare to rashly destroy the seal. Others do not know much about the wondrous uses of the Rock of Origin."
When Xiao Chen heard this secret, his expression did not change much. This was something too distant. He asked, "What does the Rock of Origin have to do with the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring?"
"The Heavenly Dew Divine Spring is formed by the mist produced by the Rock of Origin. Now, do you know why cultivators who soak in the spring will definitely advance to Martial Emperor within a hundred years? "Ying Qiong said with a smile.
If that was really the case, advancing to Martial Emperor within a hundred years was indeed understandable. After all, the Rock of Origin had such a heaven-defying origin. It was completely understandable for a miracle to happen.
The two chatted for a while more before saying their goodbyes. Five days later:
When Xiao Chen heard some startled cries coming from outside, he stopped practicing the painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber and went to the bow deck.
At the limits of his vision, Xiao Chen saw a row of vast mountain ranges. These mountain ranges rose and fell without end, looking like they split the entire Profound Domain in half.
In reality, this was indeed the case. The Kunlun Mountain Range spanned tens of millions of kilometers. There were countless mountain peaks. Until now, no one had managed to completely explore this mountain range.
There were many Remnants and formations from the Immortal Epoch. Even some Sovereign Martial Emperors did not dare to rashly enter. During the Ancient Era, people had even seen legendary Immortal Beasts; they were extremely mysterious.
In the center of the mountain range was the main peak of the Kunlun Mountain Range. It towered into the clouds, piercing the sky. Spiritual mist surrounded it, blocking people's vision and preventing them from seeing how tall it was.
The mountain peak was majestic and magnificent, at least a thousand times taller than any mountain that Xiao Chen had seen before. Furthermore, there was a strange charm to it.
Xiao Chen carefully observed the many surrounding peaks. He felt that the main peak of the Kunlun Mountain Range, which stood out among the many peaks, was different in many ways.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen did not know geomancy, so he could not make out much.
At this moment, the Bushin Palace's Blue Robed Emperor, who had not shown himself for a long time, came out as well. When he saw that majestic Kunlun Mountain, a look of awe appeared in his eyes.
The speed of the Emperor Grade warship was very fast. The originally distant main peak of the Kunlun Mountain Range became clearly visible at the limits of Xiao Chen's vision.
The feeling of that vast and majestic aura was even more direct. No matter who looked at this peak, they would feel extremely insignificant.
Just at this moment, auras that made everyone tremble from the bottom of their hearts swept over from every corner of the mountain peak.
Including Xiao Chen, the ten Tianwu Domain demonic geniuses all knelt on one knee. Sweat poured down their foreheads, and their expressions were extremely depressed.
The grandmaster-level Martial Sages of the various sects also felt extremely uncomfortable. They spread out their auras and did their best to resist.
However, the auras left as quickly as they came. When they saw that it was the Bushin Palace's warship, they immediately withdrew.
