“You mean you want me to find that dragon vein and extract the dragon energy from it?”

“That’s right!”

Beitang Ce and Jiang Chen spoke at the same time.

Then Jiang Chen spoke again,

“Actually, it’s a very risky thing to do. If it weren’t for your performance today, you wouldn’t have been able to go there.

“Ever since the Nine Province’s dragon vein was destroyed a few hundred years ago, the 10,000 dragon ancestors of Kunlun had concealed themselves. In the entire Nine Provinces, there was only one living dragon vein left.

“The other dragon veins had lost their dragon energy and could not continue to grow.

“Therefore, the Nine Provinces had very strict control over the Changbai dragon vein.

“In addition to the four venerable ones taking turns at guard, one of the four venerable ones’ tokens is needed to enter.

“Otherwise, even a King realm martial artist might not be able to enter.

“Today, you will be the only one to enter in the past 50 years.”

“Did anyone else enter 50 years ago?”

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. There was a hint of awe in his eyes.

“The Sword Emperor, Azure Dragon!”

Ye Xiao had already guessed it was him.

As the number one person in the Nine Provinces and the number one on the Dragon list, Azure Dragon, he was most likely qualified to enter.

“By the way, you four venerable ones have all reached the King realm. Why didn’t you go in?”

Ye Xiao was confused.

Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly.

“We’re not qualified. In fact, the four venerable ones’ bloodlines are all the emperor’s bloodlines, and emperor bloodline holders are all very powerful beings.

“However, even if we are the Emperor’s bloodline holders, our strength is still not enough.

“Venerable Azure Dragon had already stepped into the King realm at the age of 30, and we all relied on the enlightenment of the previous venerable ones to advance to the King realm.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes slightly moved.

He did not expect Sword Emperor Azure Dragon to be so powerful!

At the age of 30, he advanced to the King realm on his own!

That talent was indeed not bad.

Huan Liuli, who was in the courtyard, could not help but roll her eyes.

‘So what if he advanced to the King realm at the age of 30?

‘My master had advanced to the King realm at the age of 21.’

In reality, he had only cultivated for less than a year. A year ago, he had just reached the Xiantian second grade.

If that was the case, Ye Xiao had calculated that he had advanced from an ordinary person to a King realm martial artist in less than a year.

That was what a true genius was!

The Azure Dragon was not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Beitang Ce spoke again,

“Venerable, you’d better hurry up and give the Black Tortoise token to Ye Xiao. Tell him to go to the Changbai dragon vein as soon as possible to improve his cultivation so that he won’t be in trouble.”

“Well…”

Jiang Chen suddenly hesitated.

Beitang Ce was startled.

“Venerable, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said seriously,

“It’s not that I don’t want to give it to him, but there’s a special reason. I want to explain it to you.”

Ye Xiao nodded. Jiang Chen waved his right hand, and an ancient bronze Black Tortoise mark appeared in his palm.

Along with the Black Tortoise token, there was a small black box. Some strange and patterns were carved on it.

“The Black Tortoise token is the key to open the dragon vein gate. It’s also very powerful.

“During the last beast calamity, I used it to seal an extremely evil divine beast. His strength is extremely strong. I worked together with Venerable Vermilion Bird to capture him with great difficulty.

“Afterwards, I sealed him in this small box and used the Black Tortoise seal to suppress him.

“If I give you the Black Tortoise token, there is a high possibility that he will escape.

“I won’t be able to take him down by myself.

“I can only hold on for a month or so at most. If you can’t return, there’s a 90 percent chance that this divine beast will escape.

“At that time, the entire Jianghai city might be plunged into misery.

“Are you confident that you’ll be able to return within a month?”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem. I’ll use my movement technique to go over.”

“How fast is your movement technique?”

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment, and then he instantly disappeared on the spot. Not long after, he reappeared in front of the two of them.

He took out his phone and handed it to the two of them.

The two of them glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch violently.

“You took a photo of us at a height of a few miles just now?”

Ye Xiao nodded and added.

“To be precise, it was at a height of 10 miles.”

“I’m starting to wonder if you’re even human.”

Ye Xiao was slightly speechless. He had actually not used his true strength.

Moreover, his movement technique was still a little short of succeeding. If it succeeded, who knew what kind of speed it would take.

The venerable Black Tortoise told Ye Xiao some things to take note of and then asked Beitang Ce to follow Ye Xiao to the Changbai dragon vein.

Only then did he hand the Black Tortoise token to Ye Xiao.

“Ye Xiao, I’ve already handed the Black Tortoise token to you. How far you can go will depend on your own luck.

“If you can become an Emperor realm martial artist, it won’t just be your personal honor. It’ll also be the fortune of the entire Nine Provinces’ human race.

“Of course, it’s also our hope!”

The Black Tortoise token was handed over to Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao could feel a heavy sense of hope within them.

The venerable Black Tortoise placed his hope for the future of the Nine Provinces into his own hands.

Ye Xiao nodded.

“Don’t worry, even if it’s for my own sake, I’ll do my best to advance to the Emperor realm.”

The venerable Black Tortoise nodded.

However, at that moment, a weak spiritual fluctuation was slowly emitted from the small box.

Although that spiritual fluctuation was very weak, it still could not escape Ye Xiao’s perception.

Ye Xiao’s perception was many times stronger than that of the venerable Black Tortoise.

In the next instant, he immediately used the Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery and instantly blasted that spiritual energy into smithereens.

Following that, he waved his hand and added an Earth-shattering Celestial Dipper Array to the sealed box.

When he was done, Venerable Black Tortoise shockingly discovered the other party’s actions, and his back could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

“D*mn it. I didn’t expect this guy to be so cunning. I just gave you the Black Tortoise token, and he tried to escape from it.

“But how did you find out? I didn’t even notice this spiritual energy.”

Ye Xiao smiled.

“I know a little about spiritual techniques.”

Jiang Chen could not help but twitch his lips.

You call that a little bit?

Beitang Ce whispered into his ear,

“Venerable, as long as Ye Xiao says he knows a little bit, then to us, he’s basically extremely proficient. Please try to understand.”

The corners of the venerable Black Tortoise’s mouth twitched fiercely once more.

Not only was that fellow’s cultivation abnormally unreasonable, but he also did not expect that even his cultivation technique was abnormal and somewhat unreasonable.

He waved his hand.

“Enough, enough. The two of you don’t need to continue talking nonsense here. It’s better for you to hurry on your way. If you can come back earlier, then try to come back as soon as possible.”

Ye Xiao said calmly,

“It shouldn’t be a big problem. I’ve carved a defensive formation of the imperial array on this box. It’s also a trapping formation. As long as he hasn’t reached the Emperor realm, we don’t need to worry too much.”

“…”

“I know you’re very powerful, but don’t keep provoking me, okay?”

Ye Xiao was silent for a while. He nodded, grabbed Beitang Ce’s shoulder, performed a technique, and teleported away.

Jiang Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.

‘That b*stard! I told him not to provoke me again. He did it right in front of me again.

‘He did it so fast that even I couldn’t see him.

‘Is he trying to show off in front of me?”

In fact, Ye Xiao had no intentions of doing so.

He just wanted to find the dragon vein as soon as possible, get the dragon energy, and return the Black Tortoise token.

Besides, Jiang Chen had already told him not to provoke him. He was implying that he should leave as soon as possible, right?

Jiang Chen looked at the array Ye Xiao had left on the box. He was stunned for a long time. In the end, he could not help but sigh deeply.

‘Sigh! It’s so infuriating to compare people!’

He thought the venerable Azure Dragon was infuriating enough in that world. To his surprise, there was another one who was even more infuriating than him.

Who gave birth to him?

He was already abnormal enough.

How abnormal must his parents be to give birth to such a freak like him?

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen put away the small box, turned around, and walked toward the library.

An angry roar came out of the small box.

“Ahhhhh… ! D*mn it! I was so close. I was so close to escaping. I was so close!

“That d*mn human kid is proficient in the imperial array!

“D*mn b*stard! Don’t let me meet you again. If I meet you again one day, I will cut you into pieces and burn your bones into ashes! I will turn you into spicy skewers! And I will roast you alive on the fire!

“However, I have already released a streak of blood essence from my will just now. It will find a martial arts expert with an extremely powerful blood essence and activate their blood essence to help me break through this barrier.

“Just wait, it won’t be long.

“It won’t be long before I can break through this d*mned broken box. By then, I’ll be able to regain my freedom, soar above the nine heavens, and enjoy the blood of the human race!”
