"Hoo..."
"My routine assessment this time. I finally passed the seventh-level difficulty devil formation! Now, I have gained a total of 1,200 points of cultivation. To exchange for the ninth-level treasures in the Holy Emperor's Treasury, I need 1,000 points of Tiangong cultivation points. I have a full 1,200 points, in addition to exchanging for a ninth-level treasure, I can also exchange for another sixth-level treasure!"
After Xia Yan came out of the seventh-level devil formation, his heart was also surging.
This time, it took Xia Yan nearly two hours to finally break through the devil formation.
"Xia Yan, congratulations!"
"Haha, Xia Yan, congratulations!"
"Brother Xia Yan..."
Many Tiangong practitioners and three inspectors came out of the control room and congratulated Xia Yan with smiles.
"Whoosh..."
Just as the three inspectors and all the cultivators congratulated Xia Yan, Ye Lao's figure flew over from the chaotic stone formation. The figure left a black afterimage in the air, and after a few breaths, Ye Lao landed on the ground, not far in front of Xia Yan and the others.
Ye Lao's face was also slightly rosy. The dry wrinkles seemed to have smoothed out a lot at this time.
"Xia Yan!" After Ye Lao landed, he looked directly at Xia Yan, moved his fingers slightly, and called out.
"Old Ye!" Xia Yan turned his eyes and saluted.
"Yeah!" Ye Lao nodded, "Lord Saint Emperor, he is waiting for you in the Palace of the Emperor at this time, you should go there immediately, he may have something to explain to you!"
"Huh?!" Xia Yan was slightly taken aback.
"The Holy Emperor called me, could it be..." Xia Yan's eyes flickered, "There are still some secrets in the Heavenly Palace that I don't know. Could it be that the Holy Emperor wants to tell me some secrets of the Heavenly Palace?!"
"Okay, I'll go to the Emperor's Palace right away!" Xia Yan turned around and looked at the three inspectors and the practitioners of the Heavenly Palace, "Three inspectors, brothers, I'm going to see the Holy Emperor, so I'm leaving first !"
"Xia Yan, you go!"
…
The inner hall of the palace of the emperor!
"Xia Yan, you are here!"
Director Lu seemed to be waiting for Xia Yan to appear in the inner hall, and when he saw Xia Yan appearing in the inner hall, he immediately took a few steps forward. Said to Xia Yan with a smile.
The three managers of the Emperor's Palace were extremely polite to Xia Yan. Xia Yan's strength has far surpassed them now, and Xia Yan has also helped them a lot. For more than a year, when Xia Yan met the Holy Emperor, he would often ask them about cultivation. This may seem like a trivial matter, but for a cultivator, it is a rare opportunity to receive the guidance of the Holy Emperor.
If they can get the typical example of the Holy Emperor, it may take them a long time to comprehend it by themselves!
Of course, Xia Yan asked the three directors about the problems in cultivation, which is equivalent to asking for himself, and there are many benefits for Xia Yan himself.
"Boss Lu!" Xia Yan cupped his fists slightly at Boss Lu and smiled.
"You're welcome, the Holy Emperor is waiting for you inside, you go in quickly!" Director Lu stretched out his right hand and pointed to a secret room deep in the inner hall.
"Yeah!" Xia Yan responded, then walked over.
"Lord Holy Emperor!" Xia Yan saw the Holy Emperor wearing a dark golden robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon. Bow down and salute.
Hearing Xia Yan's voice, the Holy Emperor slowly opened his eyes. The deep eyes are as bright as the stars in the night sky, shining with brilliance. Then, it gradually disappeared.
"Sit!" The Holy Emperor pulled the corner of his mouth and spit out a word.
Xia Yan walked to the futon opposite the Holy Emperor, sat down cross-legged, facing the Holy Emperor, looked down at the front, and waited for the Holy Emperor to speak.
"Xia Yan, just now I heard Ye Lao said that you passed the seventh-level difficulty devil formation within two hours in the routine assessment of Tiangong this time?!" The Holy Emperor looked at Xia Yan's cheek, and said flatly. voice, said slowly.
"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, sitting upright.
Xia Yan has entered this secret room many times, but every time he enters, he still has some different feelings. The secret room is not big, and there is nothing inside except for two futons. However, Xia Yan could really feel a strange energy hidden in it.
"Very good." The Holy Emperor nodded with a satisfied expression on his face, "You came to Tiangong, but only a little over a year ago, you can pass the seventh-level difficulty of the Devil's Formation, you can be said to be a genius. Although you Your realm is still the mid-term Lingzong, but your strength. There are not many cultivators below the realm of the Lingzong who can beat you."
"However..." The Holy Emperor first praised Xia Yan, and then changed the topic, and the light in his eyes flickered, "After all, your realm has not yet reached the stage of the late spirit sect. If you encounter those real peak spirit sects, those You must also be careful for those who have stepped into the late-stage spiritual realm for a hundred years. The difference in realm will make you suffer! When you really step into the late-stage spiritual realm... "
Hearing this, Xia Yan's heart trembled violently.
"Under the holy mountain, I fought fiercely with the deputy suzerain of the East Pole forces and the eight elders. In the end, although I was seriously injured, I succeeded in killing the deputy suzerain and the eight elders. The deputy suzerain of the East pole, also There are eight veterans, and they can be said to be the strength of the peak spirit sect, but the Holy Emperor..."
Xia Yan frowned slightly, thinking to himself.
Seeing Xia Yan frowned, the corner of the Holy Emperor's mouth raised slightly, and he shook his head slightly, "Xia Yan, you killed several people on the other side in a fierce battle with a group of people in Dongji a few months ago. I know about it. Yes. Do you think that the people you are fighting against are all powerhouses second only to the realm of the Spirit Emperor?!"
Xia Yan was taken aback, the Holy Emperor actually saw through his mind.
However, Xia Yan really thought so in his heart.
"In our Heavenly Palace, Yelao, the three inspectors, and the three chief stewards of the Palace of the Emperor, aren't they all at the peak of the Lingzong?!" Xia Yan pondered for a while, and then said.
"hehe… "
The Holy Emperor laughed, and then said, "Xia Yan. You are right! If you divide it according to the definition, the people you mentioned are all at the peak of the Lingzong, and they are far more powerful than the general late Lingzong. Many. Even those people from the East Pole who fought against you are all peak spirit sects!"
Shenghuang looked at Xia Yan, "However, most of the peak spirit sects have no possibility of becoming a spirit emperor. For example, Yelao, he has almost no possibility of stepping into the realm of a spirit emperor. There are probably two reasons. First, his body has entered the aging period, and the possibility of his strength increasing is very small. The second reason is that he is now far away from the realm of the Spirit Emperor... Ordinary cultivators may think that Yelao is far from the Spirit Emperor. The realm is only one step away. But in reality, he is still far behind."
Hearing what the Holy Emperor said, Xia Yan was even more puzzled.
"Do you know the function of this devil formation?!" The Holy Emperor talked about the fifty devil formations in the Tiangong.
"I know!" Xia Yan naturally responded, "In the devil formation, you can exercise various abilities of the cultivator. In the devil formation, the progress speed of the practitioner is much faster than normal cultivation. Moreover, training in the devil formation After entering the cultivation tower, the effect of absorbing spiritual power will be better."
Although Xia Yan said this in his mouth, in his heart, he felt that the Devil Formation might not only have these functions. If not, any Tiangong cultivator knows the purpose of the Devil Formation, so does the Holy Emperor need to ask himself
really-
"Xia Yan, what you said is indeed one of the uses of the devil formation. However, the devil formation has another very important purpose. In fact, only cultivators who can pass the seventh-level difficulty of the devil formation can step on it. Entering the realm of the Spirit Emperor. If he can't even pass through the seventh-level difficulty devil formation, then his strength is still far from the realm of the Spirit Emperor!"
The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes and said.
"What? Passing the seventh-level difficulty of the Devil Formation. Can you become the Spirit Emperor?!" Xia Yan was secretly startled.
"Of course, it is extremely difficult to become a Spirit Emperor even if you pass the seventh-level difficulty Devil Formation. Almost all cultivators are stagnant in this realm, and they will not be able to take that step until they die! If you cannot become a Spirit Emperor, you will eventually die. As a mortal, no matter how strong he is, he still cannot escape the lifespan limit of 200 years!" On the holy emperor's indifferent face, there was an indescribable expression.
"Tiangong has existed for nearly 400 years. Some of the practitioners of Tiangong have also cultivated to the point where they can pass the devil formation with difficulty level 7. These people are also the closest to the realm of the spirit emperor. Compared with the general peak spirit sect, their The strength is much stronger." Shenghuang stood up from the futon, took a few steps forward, that is, towards Xia Yan, and said slowly.
"Xia Yan, have you noticed it too? In the current Tiangong, except for Ye Lao who is over a hundred years old, all other practitioners are young people under the age of one hundred." The Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Yan. asked.
"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, "Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be a problem for a strong man in the Lingzong realm to live to two hundred years old. It should be impossible for a practitioner of Tiangong to have only one Ye Lao who is over a hundred years old. right!"
In fact, Xia Yan already had such doubts in his heart.
"Hehe, of course, it is impossible for Yelao alone to live to be more than a hundred years old among Tiangong cultivators. I will tell you where those people have gone later. Now, stand up!" The Holy Emperor first smiled, Then let Xia Yan stand up.
Xia Yan stood up suspiciously, frowned slightly, and looked at the Holy Emperor.
"Your sword, yes, it already has a certain amount of spirituality, and it's just a little bit short of being promoted to a divine weapon." The Holy Emperor looked at the Morning Sword in Xia Yan's hand, "Xia Yan, do you know that although you Your long sword is only one step away from the divine weapon, but the power is so different? In your battle at the foot of the holy mountain a few months ago, if your long sword was a divine weapon, those people would not be able to hurt you at all , you can easily kill them all!"
"What?!" Xia Yan's expression changed drastically.
He never expected that the power of the artifact would be so great! Xia Yan looked at the Chenxi Sword in his hand. In fact, the Chenxi Sword was already qualified for promotion. Xia Yan had the most important God's Stone, but now Xia Yan had no chance.
