Each of the nine hundred Magic Treasures contained ten kinds of divine materials, no less than five hundred kilograms of each. However, refining them a second time would always result in a loss.
Xiao Chen swallowed about eight hundred Magic Treasures before barely managing to cultivate the first layer of the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art.
With the nourishment of the five hundred kilograms of divine materials, the faint azure-colored Dragon Qi in Xiao Chen's body finally stopped being hazy and indistinct. It turned into a clear strand of Dragon Qi that swam around his body.
With a thought, Xiao Chen opened all the acupoints in his body. Dragon roars rang out in his body, filling his entire body with explosive energy.
Xiao Chen stood up and punched the ground. One Dragon Force — five thousand kilograms of force — exploded out. A crack extended for ten kilometers, splitting the flat ground in half. It looked extremely horrifying.
Furthermore, this was just the force of one punch from Xiao Chen.
When Ye Chen, who had mostly recovered from his injuries, saw this scene, he exclaimed, "Eight hundred Magic Treasures, and he swallowed them all. What Cultivation Technique is this brat cultivating? Why is the requirement so horrifying?"
When Ye Chen saw the strength that Xiao Chen displayed, he did not feel envious. Even if Xiao Chen had a Cultivation Technique like this, he would not cultivate it.
Eight hundred Magic Treasures were equivalent to the savings of a Rank 8 sect. Such a Cultivation Technique would not last long in the end. No sect could afford it.
Five hundred kilograms of divine materials nourished one Dragon Force. The second layer required ten Dragon Force before one could condense the Blue Dragon Battle Armor. The amount of divine materials required was indeed astronomical.
Xiao Chen withdrew his fist and looked at the remaining one hundred Magic Treasures. Then, he stretched out his hand and placed them in his Universe Ring. He temporarily gave up on cultivating the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art.
"Brother Ye, what are your thoughts now?" Xiao Chen asked as he walked over.
A murderous intent flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. "Naturally, catching up to Di Wuque and returning the favor to that woman. I have never suffered such a huge loss before."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "In that case, I wish you success. I won't send you off!"
"They are going to the heavenly palace now. Don't tell me you don't want to go?" the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen said as he looked straight at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "What's wrong? If I go, will I be slapped back like you?"
"You …"
Ye Chen felt stifled. He said sullenly, "Indeed, you are still as cowardly as before. No wonder I, Ye Chen, look down on you for hanging out with this scoundrel."
Lord Jiu had a depressed look on his face. In his heart, he felt that the burly man was innocent and had been shot while lying down.
Xiao Chen didn't argue with him. "Whatever you say, I won't go to the Heavenly Palace now."
Ye Chen flung his sleeves and snorted coldly. Then, he picked up his saber and moved further away from Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen watched as the other party disappeared from his sight. He shook his head slightly. What a pity.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and spat out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. Then, he waved his hand and poured all the divine materials beside Lord Jiu into the cauldron.
At the same time, the Lunar True Flame in Xiao Chen's left eye shot out.
This was still not enough. Xiao Chen kept only half of the remaining one hundred Magic Treasures. Then, he tossed the rest into the cauldron and melted them.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grasped the Big Dipper Banner flickering with tricolor light. After the divine materials in the cauldron were extracted, he tossed the Big Dipper Banner into the cauldron.
The Big Dipper Banner started to undergo another transformation.
Naturally, Xiao Chen wanted to enter the Heavenly Palace of the Immortal sect Remnant. However, without strength, what could he do?
Before a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, he could not even block one move. The great grandmaster-level Martial Sage could send him out with one slap. He would just be seeking his own humiliation.
Di Wuque had roped in a group of geniuses. Be it the thirteen Keepers behind him or the Divine Daughter, Tianyou Xi, who he would never abandon.
Just Xiao Qinghan and Xia Dongyang were already difficult to deal with.
With such confidence, Di Wuque dared to move around without fear. Even a regular great grandmaster-level Martial Sage would have to retreat when they saw him.
Xiao Chen was alone, and there were countless people who wanted to kill him. If he did not prepare more trump cards, there would only be one result: death.
The nine heavenly palaces gave off a multicolored light, illuminating for fifty kilometers around. Rumor had it that there were Immortal Tools.
Immortal Tools and Emperor Grade Secret Treasures were existences on par with each other. The three basic symbols of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families were Emperor Wu, an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, and a Holy Spirit Vein. Only with all three could one be considered the Nine Ranks of the Great Families.
The number of these three represented the strength and accumulations of a Rank 9. If there really was an Immortal Tool, the various Nine Ranks of the Great Families would definitely send out the Blue Robed Emperor to fight for it.
In the past few days, explosions rang out endlessly in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Occasionally, one could see even more horrifying scenes of the sky tearing apart.
That was when a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage expert brought out the might of a King Grade Secret Treasure to one hundred and twenty percent, creating a temporary tear in space.
The space of the Kunlun Realm was very stable. Without reaching the level of the Blue Robed Emperor, one could not tear space, no matter how strong one was, no matter how strong one was, no matter how strong one was.
Now, before the Blue Robed Emperor appeared, he already saw the scene of space tearing. This showed how strong the restrictions of the nine heavenly palaces were.
However, all this did not have much to do with Xiao Chen. He was currently infusing hundreds of tons of divine materials into the Big Dipper Banner, allowing the seven Astral Pearls to reach an unprecedented height.
As the divine materials infused in, starlight fell from the sky. At first, it turned into specks of starlight. Finally, it turned into a curtain of starlight, encasing the surrounding one kilometer in the night.
This attracted several cultivators to come and take a look. They all thought that a strange treasure had appeared and were incredibly excited. Xiao Chen used lightning-quick means, killing all the cultivators who came near.
Three days later, the Big Dipper Banner finally gained new life. Its quality improved again, reaching the level of a peak King Grade Secret Treasure. Furthermore, it had three different states of massacre, death, and ruin. It could suppress Secret Treasures of the same grade.
With this Astral Banner, Xiao Chen was confident of killing the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, not giving them a chance to flee.
He would also be able to hold his own against great grandmaster-level Martial Sages. He would have no problem protecting himself.
"Withdraw!"
The starlight filling the sky gathered. Xiao Chen grasped the Big Dipper Banner. Red Qi of massacre, black Qi of death, and gray Qi of ruin mixed with the starlight, flickering endlessly.
The banner unfurled, and the seven Astral Pearls gave off a dazzling light. This was especially so for the Dubhe, Merak, and Phecda Astral Pearls, which were infused with thrones. They looked even stranger.
As Xiao Chen held the banner, he casually swung it. Starlight spread out like the wind, surging out. Several hidden restrictions in the sky instantly broke, bursting out with dazzling light.
Such might was obvious. However, Xiao Chen frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied.
Compared to the previous fusion, when the three thrones underwent a complete transformation, this was only a quantitative change and not a qualitative one.
If Xiao Chen wanted a qualitative change, he would have to find the other four thrones or obtain the inheritance of the Big Dipper Palace and use the Astral Palace's secret technique to activate the Big Dipper Banner.
Only then could the might of the Big Dipper Banner truly be brought out.
"Bang!"
Dirt flew everywhere on the ground. Lord Jiu leaped out with a shifty look on his face. He said excitedly, "It's broken! The restrictions of the nine Astral Palaces are all broken. The strength of these great grandmaster-level Martial Sages is truly horrifying."
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. He carefully put away the Big Dipper Banner and asked, "How many great grandmaster-level Martial Sages did you see?"
Lord Jiu thought for a while before replying, "Four of them are powerhouses of the Primal Chaos Domain, infamous loose cultivators. Three of them are inner sect First Elders of the Muddy Sky Gate, the Frost Moon Palace, and the Heavenly Music Sect. The other two seem to be experts from the Heavenly Starry Ocean. There should be some hidden great grandmaster-level Martial Sages that I did not notice."
On the surface, there were now nine great grandmaster-level Martial Sages, more than Xiao Chen expected.
Xiao Chen looked at the nine Astral Palaces in the distance. After a while, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes. He said calmly, "Lead the way, then."
Lord Jiu's eyes flashed with excitement. The restrictions of the nine Astral Palaces had been broken one after another. He had been itching for a long time. However, Xiao Chen remained unmoved, focusing all his attention on refining the Big Dipper Banner.
Now, Xiao Chen was finally going to make his move. This was a person that Lord Jiu could not see through at all. To Lord Jiu, Xiao Chen was like a dormant True Dragon. When he did not move, he would be indifferent. When he moved, his name would spread everywhere, able to pierce through the sky.
Lord Jiu, who was already very familiar with the route, quickly led the way. Along the way, he saw dilapidated palaces everywhere. Occasionally, the light of treasures soared into the sky.
However, these did not attract much attention. The nine Astral Palaces floating at the top of the mountain attracted the attention of all the cultivators here. They could not wait to obtain stronger Magic Treasures.
The higher Xiao Chen went, the more eye-catching the seven-colored light became, becoming dazzling and dazzling.
The nine Astral Palaces were arranged in a ring with the mountain as the center. As Xiao Chen stood at the summit, he sensed his surroundings. He felt that the nine Astral Palaces seemed to form a formation, suppressing something at the top of the mountain.
It was suppressing something at the top of the mountain. The flat mountain top was like a jade platform, nothing could be seen.
However, when Xiao Chen punched the summit, the force of one Dragon Force — five thousand tons of force — struck it, it did not budge at all. Not a single rock on the entire mountain moved.
It was as if the flat jade platform had absorbed his energy.
This further confirmed Xiao Chen's guess. The nine majestic Astral Palaces were indeed a formation.
Since it was a formation, it had to have a formation core. He did not know which Heavenly Palace was the formation core. If he could control the Heavenly Palace where the formation core was, he would be able to control it.
If he could control the Astral Palace where the formation core was, he would be able to break the seal and let the mysterious thing at the bottom of the mountain see the light of day again.
It looked like the rumors of an Immortal Equipment here were not baseless. Xiao Chen was not the only one who figured out the secret of the nine Astral Palaces.
However, which Astral Palace was the formation core?
"Old Brother Xiao, have you chosen? This Lord Jiu cannot wait any longer," the old man urged as he rubbed his hands together.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and laughed self-mockingly. So what if I find the formation core? When the Immortal Equipment appears, the Blue Robed Emperor will definitely make a move.
A regular King Grade Magic Treasure would not be able to attract the Blue Robed Emperor's attention. However, when the Immortal Equipment appears, the Blue Robed Emperor will definitely make a move. Before the Blue Robed Emperor, even great grandmaster-level Martial Sages would be trash.
Xiao Chen was just a peak Medial Grade Martial Sage. What was the point of thinking so much? The current him could not compete for the Immortal Equipment.
Xiao Chen leaped up and entered a Astral Palace. The sounds of intense fighting immediately entered his ears, and a vast world appeared before him.
The Astral Palace was several times larger than it looked from the outside. A large number of Magic Treasures floated in the palace. The auras of several of them were no weaker than the Heavenly Phoenix Fan.
These were peak Secret Treasures infused with thousands of divine materials, treasures that even great grandmaster-level Martial Sages would be tempted by. However, every Magic Treasure had strong restrictions around it; breaking them would not be easy.
