"never mind."
Chu Tianxiao ignored Hei Ming's thoughts and waved his hand, "Since you want me to break your tortoise shell so much... then fine, I'll break it for you to see!"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Tianxiao shouted loudly, a bright light shone in his eyes, and the fire of fighting spirit seemed to be burning! Then, the power of the brilliant light dragon suddenly increased again, and it rushed down with a roar!
Countless dazzling dragons of light swept in, with overwhelming force. All the bricks and tiles in the entire room were blown away in an instant, and then all crushed into pieces by the aftermath of the impact!
With a swish!
The golden light of the Tiantu Guardian Bell dimmed, and the entire inverted 'turtle shell' was brutally torn apart. Countless bright dragons of light roared in, and Hei Ming's face suddenly turned pale. He roared, "Slow down! I have something else to say... Uh ah ah, you dare! Uh ah!"
Following a shrill scream, countless dazzling dragons of light pierced through his body, crushing his heart, lungs, tendons, and veins, instantly killing him beyond demise. With a bang, he exploded, and the great genius of the generation finally turned into a ball of dust under the flames...
With a ding-dong sound, Chu Tianxiao's figure flashed and he grabbed the bunch of keys that were slowly falling. He pressed one hand on them and took out the blood-red one first. Then he took a deep breath and slowly aimed his gaze at the ancient door behind Hei Ming...
"... The power of the Star and Moon was finally brought into full play with the magical effect of the Coiling Dragon's Blood... Crossing a major realm to kill a Tongxuan Upper Realm, although this result can only be achieved by opening the Battle Soul Art, this move will indeed be worthy of the name of a killer mace in the future..."
"It's just that... after all, it's the Tongxuan Upper Realm. After all, it's a huge realm..."
Chu Tianxiao looked at the ancient door and was about to walk in, but he felt weak all over, and his bones seemed to be falling apart. This was the aftereffect of performing the Battle Soul Art - he had to recover after performing it several times before and had no feeling... but this time he really endured it.
Furthermore, the higher the realm of battle, the impossible it would be for Chu Tianxiao to remain intact.
"Ahem... I don't know if there will be any danger behind this ancient door. In my current state, if I rush in rashly, I'm afraid I may not end up well..."
Being cautious by nature, Chu Tianxiao decided to sit cross-legged and meditate for a while.
Chu Tianxiao let out a long sigh of relief and began to concentrate on recovering. The endless vitality of the dragon's blood began to take effect. Not long after, he opened his star-like eyes, pondered for a moment, and slowly pointed the blood-colored key towards the ancient door.
…
Behind the ancient door is a side room carved from white jade.
At a glance, everything was white, with a miniature white sun hanging in the center. As soon as Chu Tianxiao stepped into this place, he felt as if he was in the kingdom of light.
Tap tap tap.
At this moment, the white wall melted, and the sound of footsteps came from far ahead. Soon, an old man with white hair and beard, short stature, skinny but peaceful face slowly walked in front of Chu Tianxiao. His whole body was radiant with a crystal green light, and his skinny face was full of energy, his eyes were bright, and he was surrounded by a cloud of mist.
Judging from his appearance, he is very similar to the previous "old man", but their temperaments are very different.
"Are you... the spirit of the Imperial Garden?" Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath and asked slowly. His mind was confused now, and it was hard for him to imagine that he would meet the spirit of the instrument itself in the secret room...
"It's not mentioned at all in the "Secrets of the Imperial Garden"..."
Just when Chu Tianxiao was puzzled, the old man said kindly: "Yes, young man. According to your current understanding, I am the spirit of the Imperial Garden."
Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly: "The previous voice, and the old man even earlier..."
"They are all my illusions. The Imperial Garden is a very special 'vessel'. The spirit of the vessel changes in a myriad of ways. Sometimes I am me, and sometimes I am not me..."
Chu Tianxiao frowned when he heard such a mysterious and incomprehensible words. He was not here to listen to the teachings of a charlatan. Just as he was about to ask what the "weapon spirit" was doing here, the old man stroked his beard and said, "Congratulations, Chu Tianxiao, you are the first person to break through the first secret room in hundreds of years... You are the destined person that Diyuan has been waiting for!"
"Hmm?" Chu Tianxiao was stunned when he heard that - destined person? What does that mean
As the old man spoke, he waved his robe, and three treasure chests suddenly appeared in front of Chu Tianxiao. Then, he said gently: "These three things are the rewards for you coming here. You can choose any one of them to take away."
Chu Tianxiao paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "What are in these three boxes?"
"You'll know once you open the box," the old man said kindly.
"Hmm? Can you still open it and have a look? I'd be disrespectful to refuse you then." Chu Tianxiao opened the golden treasure chest on the far left from left to right, only to see a golden bead inside, with light flowing in it that was dazzling to the eyes!
Chu Tianxiao looked at the old man with questioning eyes, but he just smiled and said nothing.
"The value of these three treasures varies. It all depends on your own discernment. I cannot say much."
“You can continue to open it and read it.”
Chu Tianxiao pondered for a moment after hearing this, then opened the black treasure chest in the middle.
But inside the treasure chest was a piece of black clothing, with fluff around it, dotted with stars, and well-made. For some reason, just by looking at it, Chu Tianxiao felt like a gust of wind could blow it away...
Shaking his head slightly, Chu Tianxiao looked at the last box.
Looking closely, I saw that it was a green treasure chest. It looked older than the previous two treasure chests, and seemed to be a little older...
After opening it, I saw a strange scroll. It looked like it was some kind of Taoist magic...
Before Chu Tianxiao could see clearly, the old man waved his sleeves, and a gust of wind came, closing the three treasure chests again.
"Okay, now that you've looked at all the things, follow your heart's guidance and pick out the reward."
Chu Tianxiao closed his eyes after hearing this. After thinking carefully for a moment, he opened his eyes again. His eyes were full of enlightenment. Just when the old man thought that he was about to open the treasure chest and take away the treasure, a ray of starlight lit up!
A sword swung in the air!
The old man's pupils shrank, and his figure flashed, leaving behind a series of phantoms, barely dodging the attack. The surprised expression on his face flashed by, and then he immediately returned to a kind expression: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly attacking me?"
Chu Tianxiao looked at him with a playful smile on his face, but he said nothing. The old man looked at him for a moment, and the kind expression on his face gradually changed, turning into a twisted, puzzled, unwilling expression...
"You... already knew?"
Chu Tianxiao did not respond directly, but said calmly: "The story... is well written."
