The Innate Dao Soul Body.
Similar to the Phoenix Divine Body and the Yin-Yang Divine Eye, it was a special innate body.
The Innate Dao Soul Body was said to be imprinted with the Great Dao in every inch of the soul.
Logically speaking, the Innate Dao Soul Body should be very close to the Great Dao and should be considered a natural prodigy in martial arts.
But in reality …
Because the soul was too powerful, it suppressed the physical body and contained the Great Dao. The possessor of the Innate Dao Soul Body would usually have their blood and qi dried up. No matter how they extended their lifespan, they would never live past the age of 20!
Even the Shi Yu Clan, one of the six major factions in the Azure Water region, couldn't change this fact.
In his previous life.
That young lady with a sweet smile, when she was 17 years old, her life reached its end.
In order to find a chance of survival, she was forced to enter the Baihu Burial Ground in search of a destiny that could change her fate.
In the end … she perished!
"But, in this life … I am here!"
Recovering from the memories of his previous life, Chen Xiao clenched his fist and his eyes became determined.
The reason why he gave up everything and borrowed the power of Sky Execution to open a spatial tunnel and return to his youth, was to make up for his regrets!
"Next, I need to settle the funeral of those two. Xiao, do you want to come with me, or do you have other matters to attend to?"
Seeing that Chen Xiao had regained his composure, Yan Li asked.
"Settling the funeral … Big Sister Yan, your heart is still too kind."
Chen Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, "Next, I need to go to the Iron Black Army camp. There are still some matters to attend to."
"You want to go to the Iron Black Army camp?"
After a slight pause, Yan Li continued, "Coincidentally, I need to go to the Iron Black Army camp too. Qi Han's brother, Qi Yang, is in the Iron Black Army as a squadron leader."
"Since it's on the way, let's go together."
Chen Xiao smiled.
…
Iron Black Army camp.
As the name suggested, it was the encampment of the Shi Yu Clan's Iron Black Army in this fortress.
The entire outer wall of the camp was made of Black Stone Gold Metal.
It was cold and gloomy. Before anyone could even get close, they could already feel an iron-blooded killing intent rushing toward them.
There were rumors that …
The Invincible Black Army's name came from the fact that their blood was as black as iron.
This was an iron-blooded army that had been forged through countless battles. At the same time, it was one of the three main forces of the Shi Yu Family!
"Who are you?"
At the entrance of the military camp.
Two tall guards intercepted the three of them.
"I'm here to look for Captain Qi Yang. I have something very important to tell him as soon as possible. Please help me pass the message."
Yan Li said with sincerity.
"So it's you. I remember you. Captain Qi's younger brother. Seems like he's been following you."
Hearing this, the two guards nodded, and their expressions became much more relaxed. "However, an important person has come to the barracks, and Captain Qi has also gone to receive him. You can go in and wait. As soon as the captain returns, we will report this to him."
Then, he turned to look at Chen Xiao and Nan Gongxuan.
Chen Xiao grinned. "I'm here to participate in the Invincible Black Army's assessment."
Nan Gongxuan had a wretched smile on his face. "This old man isn't here to do anything. I'm just here to join in the fun."
"You're here to participate in the assessment?"
The two guards raised their eyebrows and looked at Chen Xiao in surprise. Then, they shook their heads and laughed. "Little brother, don't joke with us. This year's recruitment has already ended. Even if you want to participate in the assessment, you will have to wait until next year."
"I'm naturally aware of this. However, isn't there still the Ten Black Metal Pillars?"
The moment Chen Xiao said this, the two guards' expressions changed.
Unknowingly, they looked at Chen Xiao with a hint of disdain. "So you want to challenge the Ten Black Metal Pillars? Then, come over here. I'll help you register. "
Everyone knew …
There were two ways to join the Invincible Black Army.
The first way was to take the regular assessment and participate in the annual recruitment. Those who stood out in the end would be the new recruits of the army.
The second way was simpler and more direct. It was to challenge the Ten Black Metal Pillars.
Those who passed one pillar could join the Invincible Black Metal Army.
Those who passed four pillars had the right to be a captain.
And those who passed seven or more pillars had the hope of becoming a commander!
In fact …
The difficulty of the Ten Black Metal Pillars was much higher than the regular assessment.
Under normal circumstances, not many people would choose this path. As a result, it gradually fell into disuse. In the end, it became a place for the children of the aristocratic families to compete with each other!
"This kid is so young. His arms are so slender. He's probably the son of some aristocratic family and wants to challenge the Ten Black Metal Pillars so that he can show off."
The other guard shook his head. "This is already the seventeenth one today!"
This kind of situation wasn't rare.
Almost every day, there would be three to five of them.
And today, there were even more of them. Before Chen Xiao, there were a total of sixteen.
The guard looked at Chen Xiao and his attitude became much colder. "After you enter, don't wander around. There are some places in the army camp that aren't suitable for you to see."
"Do you think I'm the son of an aristocratic family?"
Being glanced at coldly, Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yan Li was also speechless.
If Jade Face Poison King knew about this, he would probably jump up in anger and give these fellows a good beating. Son of a god, have you ever seen such a cruel son of a aristocratic family?
The little old man, Nan Gongxuan, urged excitedly, "Big Brother, do it, kill him!"
"Don't cause trouble for me!"
Chen Xiao's gaze swept over, and Nan Gongxuan immediately fell silent.
Then, the three passed through layers of the army camp and arrived in front of a spacious square.
On this square, there were ten incomparably thick black pillars. They were ten zhang wide and a hundred zhang tall. They were like ten godly spears with infinite sharpness, pointing towards the endless vault of heaven!
The Ten Black Metal Pillars!
"Look, someone else is coming!"
At the corner of the square, below the ten black metal pillars, several handsome young men were looking at Chen Xiao.
"Hey, this kid looks unfamiliar, I wonder which family he is from?"
"It's the same no matter which family he is from. He is so young, at most in the Law Phase Realm. It would be good if he can pass one pillar."
"What if he is a super prodigy and passed several pillars in one go?"
"Forget it, super prodigies don't just pop out from a rock. If he really has such capabilities, he would have been famous in the Azure Water region long ago. Why would he wait until now?"
A few of them were discussing, and their eyes were filled with mockery as they landed on Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly and didn't bother with them. He took a step forward and walked towards the first black metal pillar.
Passing the ten black metal pillars was undoubtedly the best way to quickly integrate into Shi Yu's Clan in a short period of time!
Who knew.
Just as he took a few steps, one of the young men's eyes flickered, and his figure flashed and blocked in front of Chen Xiao.
"Kid, Brother Jue is passing the ten pillars. Before he finishes, no one is allowed to come near."
