“Ye Xiao, where’s your protective dragon energy? Show it to me quickly.”

Emperor Jing seemed to want to verify it again, but Ye Xiao shrugged.

“It’s all gone. I’ve used it all to temper my soul.”

Emperor Jing was a little curious.

“Your soul has already been tempered by you? Your soul has already been tempered? Then did anything strange happen to your body? Why haven’t you advanced to the legendary God realm yet?”

Ye Xiao said in bewilderment,

“I’m also very puzzled. That’s why I wanted to see you. I wanted to see if I could find the remains of some God realm martial arts master and look for some methods and clues.”

“So that’s how it is. That’s just right. At present, the masters of the Xuan Yuan god clan have basically all gone to the starry sky to fight against the three great god clans. We can take this opportunity to make a trip to the ancestral mausoleum.”

“Okay!”

After the three of them made the agreement, they quickly arrived at the Kunlun Mountain located in the western part of the Nine Provinces under the guidance of Emperor Jing.

From Afar, the Kunlun Mountain looked like a pillar that supported the sky, piercing into the clouds from the ground. The peak of the mountain sank deep into the clouds. Ordinary people could only see the faint fog and the mountain peak that disappeared in the clouds.

The shock was self-evident. People could not help but shiver, and their hair stood on end.

“This is the Kunlun Mountain. By the way, our ancestor once said that the treasure is related to the Kunlun dragon vein. Could the Kunlun dragon vein be near the Kunlun Mountain?”

Emperor Jing shook his head.

“I’m not sure about that. However, all the martial emperors of our generation have come to this place to look for it, but none of us have found the Kunlun dragon vein.

“Moreover, there’s another point. None of us have been able to enter our ancestors’ graves.

“Therefore, we naturally have no way to find out the whereabouts of the Kunlun dragon vein.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“I see.”

After the three of them arrived at the Kunlun Mountain, they came to a mountain stream under the guidance of Emperor Jing.

That mountain stream was very hidden, extremely inconspicuous, and even somewhat desolate.

To put it bluntly, even wild beasts would not linger in that place for too long.

Emperor Jing seemed to have noticed the doubt in Ye Xiao’s eyes and could not help but explain,

“The ancestor placed the grave here to avoid people’s eyes and ears, so as to prevent those with ill intentions from finding it.

“Or to put it another way, one day, when the human race is really cornered and forced to summon the Xuan Yuan god clan, his secret can be better protected and not easily discovered by others.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes revealed a trace of admiration.

To be honest, up until now, that was the only thing that Ye Xiao admired about the human race’s ancestors.

Hiding his corpse here, even if the Xuan Yuan god clan came in the future, it would not be so easy to find him and take away the secrets of that world.

That way, he could be considered to have left something for his descendants.

Emperor Jing came to the front and knelt down in the mountain stream.

“The unfilial descendant of the human race, Zhu Qiyu, brought the descendants of the human race, Ye Xiao and the Azure Dragon, to pay respects to ancestor today. I hope ancestor doesn’t take offense.”

After saying that, he took out a drop of blood from his finger and dripped it into the small stream.

After the stream met Zhu Qiyu’s blood, it immediately stopped flowing. In the end, it completely dried up, revealing a door to the void.

“Let’s go. Let’s go in together.”

Emperor Jing greeted the two of them. Ye Xiao and the Azure Dragon jumped into the stream together with him.

After that, the door to the void closed, and the stream began to flow automatically again.

The three of them came to the bottom. The place was brightly lit and spacious, as if it was a paradise.

“Everyone, be careful! Don’t look at this place as if it’s a fairyland. In fact, it’s filled with tests from the ancestors. If you can’t pass the test, you can either leave or die here.

“However, the ancestors have also tested it. If you leave, you won’t be able to come in a second time. Therefore, everyone must be careful.”

As they spoke, a bluestone suddenly fell from the sky.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, a huge crater appeared on the ground.

“It really comes from what we say. I didn’t expect it to arrive so soon.

“I’ve heard about this first trial before.

“It’s a spirit-sealing stone. It has already sealed off the path of the three of us, and there’s an expanding barrier around it. No matter where we go, we can’t hide from it.”

“How should we get there?”

The Azure Dragon could not help but ask. Emperor Jing replied,

“There’s a connection on the spirit-sealing stone. As long as we can use our mental power to communicate and find the power inside, we can break it easily!”

“I see!”

The Azure Dragon nodded and immediately began to release his mental power to communicate with the spirit-sealing stone.

A few minutes later, the Azure Dragon said with a solemn expression,

“No, there’s no reaction.”

“…”

“Your strength is the weakest among the three of us. Why did you communicate with him first?”

“I feel that if I put in more effort in the early stages to help Ye Xiao get rid of more difficulties, I can save him some energy.”

Emperor Jing shook his head and walked forward speechlessly. He sighed. At the critical moment, he had to depend on Emperor Jing to be reliable.

Soon, he immersed his spiritual energy in it.

A few minutes later, Emperor Jing heaved a long sigh of relief.

“Ye Xiao, why don’t you give it a try?”

Both Azure Dragon and Ye Xiao were silent.

Ye Xiao walked forward and raised his sword.

Boom!

A sword light burst out and instantly shattered the huge rock.

The seal also shattered on its own.

The Azure Dragon and Emperor Jing were silent for a moment.

“Wasn’t this thing broken with mental prowess?”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“It was indeed broken with mental prowess, but it’s too slow to unlock it that way. Rather than using mental energy to slowly unlock it, it’s better to cut it open with a sword. Let’s go, let’s go to the next level.”

The three of them moved forward again.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a land of raging flames.

That land of raging flames was full of raging flames. The powerful power of the flames even began to distort the spiritual energy.

Emperor Jing spoke again,

“I’ve heard from the seniors who retreated in defeat that this test was conducted by burning the spiritual energy. The flames produced a high temperature, which was very terrifying.

“Even an Emperor realm martial arts expert might be incinerated into ashes in front of it.”

Ye Xiao noticed that there were indeed some half-burned bones by the side. Presumably, it should be a certain senior from the Nine Provinces who had been burned by the sea of fire but luckily escaped.

However, his speed should have been a little slow. In the end, his body was still burned by more than half and he had completely lost his vitality.

It was a lucky escape. Those who did not have the chance to escape had probably been turned into ashes long ago.

“This test tests the density of the spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy in the body is not persistent enough to resist the burning of the sea of fire, then there is no way to pass through this sea of fire.

“In fact, if the body has already entered the sea of fire, but the spiritual energy is suddenly insufficient, the entire person may fall into the sea of fire and turn into ashes.”

“What if one uses movement techniques to forcefully break through?”

“There is no way to use movement techniques here. If you use movement techniques, the pressure on it will increase as well. The speed at which the spiritual energy is burned will also increase greatly.”.

“Therefore, it is impossible to use movement techniques to cheat.”

“How terrifying!”

The Azure Dragon’s pupils constricted slightly. Immediately after, he took a deep breath and said,

“Let me try it first.”

“Don’t be too reckless.”

“Don’t worry. If I don’t have enough spiritual energy, I’ll retreat in time.”

Emperor Jing nodded.

The Azure Dragon followed him into the sea of fire.

As soon as he entered the sea of fire, the intense fire under his feet started burning rapidly, burning the spiritual energy in his body.

If he does not want his body to be burned, then he can only continuously release more to resist.

One step, two steps, three steps…

The whole sea of fire was only about 100 steps away, but the Azure Dragon only walked seven steps, he felt some unbearable, quickly back.

Emperor Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Looking at the Azure Dragon like this, I knew I should be unable to pass. Ye Xiao, although we two also want to see what is in the ancestor’s grave, the strength of the two of us is really too weak. Being together with you will only increase your burden.

“You can walk the rest of the way by yourself. The two of us will wait for you here.”

Ye Xiao’s brows raised slightly.

“It was the two seniors who brought me in. If I were to abandon the two seniors like this, wouldn’t it be a little too disloyal?

“How about this, the two of you follow behind me and see just how far we can go.

“If we really reach a certain level where I can only walk over by myself, then there’s really no other way.”

The two of them shared a thought.

“Ye Xiao… Will this be too troublesome for you?”

Ye Xiao smiled slightly.

“Didn’t I also trouble you guys to come to this place? Moreover, we’re both from the same ancestor, so it’s only right that we support each other. Let’s go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao grabbed the shoulders of the two people like an eagle lifting a chick and jumped into the sea of fire.

Just as they entered the sea of fire, the scorching flames pounced on them and began to steam continuously.

In the next second, Ye Xiao’s body began to release an extremely violent spiritual energy.

As soon as that dense spiritual energy was released, it actually instantly formed a long bridge over the Sea of fire that was a few hundred feet long.

“…”

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became silent and conflicted.

Although the two of them knew that Ye Xiao was many, many times stronger than the two of them, was that gap not a little too wide?

The two of them might only be able to walk a few steps, or even a dozen steps.

That fellow, Ye Xiao, had instantaneously constructed a long bridge of spiritual energy on top. The difference between the two was not an exaggeration to say that it was a hundred times.

Everyone had trained together. They had clearly only trained for two years.

Why was he so insane?
