Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1379 Opening of the Ancient Courtyard
Crack down! Crack down!
Chen Xi carefully split the broken body of the Azurelotus Immortal Sword to reveal a gleaming mini sword that emitted a green light.
It is about 12cm long, smooth like a baby finger, and in the form of a lotus leaf. It was green and glistened like pure and translucent amber, and it emitted strands of divine light, making it appear extremely divine.
This was clearly a sword that had yet to fully form, and the rare part about it was that the sword was naturally formed and filled with intelligence. It seemed like it could breathe and have a life of its own.
Clangs!
Once it opened in the open, it instantly emitted a clear and melodious melodious sword before swaying to the sky.
How could Chen Xi who had always focused on him let him off the hook? He stretched out his hand and grabbed out while harnessing space energy, and he instantly held back the mini sword and placed it back inside the jade box.
Even then, this lotus leaf-shaped mini sword still trembled and struggled, and it caused Chen Xi to exclaim with shock in her heart.
Previously, when he was on the third floor of the Starpoint Hall, Chen Xi had noticed through the Eye of Divine Truth that traces of an unusual aura were within the Azurelotus Immortal Sword. It was like the pure energy of divinity, and it was precisely because of this that he endured to obtain this treasure.
Now that he had opened it and looked at it, he had actually seen a treasure more precious than the Azurelotus Immortal Sword, and it was a naturally formed mini sword!
After all, the Eternal Sword of Azurelotus was formed from the primordial petals of the Azurelotus Refining World, and during primeval times, it could be considered an incredible weapon.
Thus, one could determine just how extraordinary the mini sword born within the Azurelotus Immortal Sword was.
According to Chen Xi's assessment, that mini sword was exactly the reason why this Azurelotus Immortal Sword could still possess strength comparable to an extreme-ranked Valiant-class Immortal Artifact even after it was severely damaged to a certain extent!
If it did not have the backing of this mini sword, then the Azurelotus Immortal Sword would only be a small piece.
Chen Xi had once browsed through the ancient books within the Sacred Reserve. The book records the legends associated with the 36 Purifications of the Azurelotus World. It is said that Azurelotus Purification of this World was born in chaos in the absolute beginning of the world, and its flowers bloomed with 36 petals. Each petal is a world, each world is a depth, and the 36 depths encompass all the secrets of the world. So, this clearly showed just how formidable the origin of the 36 petal Azurelotus World Refining was.
On the other hand, this mini sword that was born within the immortal treasure that formed this Azurelotus World Refining Petal was like a seed itself. It can grow and strengthen, and this is the most outstanding trait it has.
Unfortunately, the Amulet Armament is not in my hands right now. Otherwise, if I were to fuse this mini sword into the Talisman Armament, then its strength would probably instantly increase to Valiant Grade. Moreover, his progress in the future would benefit from this mini sword as well …. Chen Xi took a deep breath and stored this treasure carefully, and he would completely refine it by the day the Amulet Armament returned to hers.
After this, Chen Xi did not waste any more time, he took the Violetsky Immortal Sword in hand before entering the star realm to practice. He intended to familiarize himself with this immortal sword as soon as possible and reach a condition capable of controlling it at will.
…
Two days later.
Today was the day where the Ancient Dao Emperor Courtyard would be opened.
Chen Xi walked out of the world of stars and flashed out of the Sword Room, and then she arrived in front of a mountain called 'Antiquity' according to the instructions provided in the jade slip.
This mountain was covered by a boundless sea of clouds while the mountain itself looked extremely imposing as if it was the residence of a dragon, and carried a deep ancient aura.
When Chen Xi arrived in front of this mountain, he immediately noticed there were many figures already waiting on the flat cliff on the side of the mountain, and there were some rather familiar faces among them.
Chen Xi was clearly aware that a total of ten students were entering the current Emperor Ancient Dao Grounds. The five of them were students who obtained the top five in the inner court examination, and they were respectively Ao Zhanbei, Zhen Lu, Ji Xuanbing, Zhao Mengli, and himself.
The other five were some senior students from the inner court, and they were respectively Ling Qingwu, Ye Tang, Nie Xingzhen, Gu Yueru, and Zhongli Luo.
Other than Ling Qingwu, Nie Xingzhen, Gu Yueru, and Zhongli Luo, Chen Xi knew all the other students, and her relationship with many of them was not bad.
This caused Chen Xi to sigh in relief before she participated in the Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds. Because in the past, he had often met with disciples of other powers in all the trips he had taken, he said, and it was impossible to avoid a battle with them and be used by them before obtaining any treasures or fortuitous encounters.
Clearly, at the very least, an incident like this would not happen on the way to these Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds.
"Young Brother Chen Xi!"
"Chen Xi's."
"Chen Xi's."
Meanwhile, Ye Tang, Ji Xuanbing, Zhao Mengli, and Zhen Lu had noticed Chen Xi who had just arrived, and they immediately smiled as they moved to greet her.
Chen Xi hurriedly cupped her fists while smiling as well, and she greeted them one by one. She was somewhat happy as well that she would be able to participate in this journey with Ye Tang and the others.
“Because you returned to the academy, you have always been in closed door cultivation, and that caused us to be unable to go drinking with you. You should be punished with wine once we return from the Emperor Ancient Dao Grounds this time around! "Ye Tang smiled as he teased Chen Xi.
"True, he should be punished with three hundred cups of wine!" Ji Xuanbing was also causing trouble from the side.
Chen Xi hurriedly cupped his hands. "I deserve it, I deserve it."
As soon as these words were spoken, it instantly attracted many seductive smiles towards Chen Xi.
Chen Xi rubbed her nose and was speechless, so that she could smile bitterly and shrug.
"Chen Xi, I'm really happy to be able to make this trip with you." Suddenly, Ao Zhanbei's voice came from afar, and he smiled as he cupped his hands towards Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was stunned, and her expression turned indifferent. He simply quietly cupped his hands towards Ao Zhanbei before turning around and chatting with Ye Tang and the others.
Due to many things in the past, his relationship with the Dragon Dimension could not be considered good, and it could even be said to be very bad. So, that was the reason for Chen Xi's reaction when he saw Ao Zhanbei actually taking the initiative to greet him at this moment.
In the distance, a wisp of shame appeared on Ao Zhanbei's face, and it flashed for a moment before disappearing. He breathed in his heart. I wonder what the Ancestor thought that he forced us members of the Dragon Dimension to ease the relationship between us and this person. Now, however, this fellow actually couldn't be bothered to pay attention to me when I took the initiative to be friendly with him…
However, he quickly stopped caring about this. Because as a member of the Dragon Dimension, he was extremely proud in his heart.
…
In their conversation, Chen Xi discovered that the two men and one woman standing in the distance were Nie Xingzhen, Gu Yueru, and Zhongli Luo.
The three of them were senior students in the inner court, and they had advanced to the Eternal Saint Realm long ago. Moreover, Nie Xingzhen and Gu Yueru were even top existences who rose to the top two ranks in the Heavenstar Saint Rankings, whereas Zhongli Luo was not much lower as well, either, and he was ranked 5th in the Heavenstar Saint Rankings.
In the past few years, the three of them had been in constant closed door cultivation to charge into the Half-step King Realm, and it caused very little information about them to spread throughout the academy. So they look as if they are keeping their profile.
However, Chen Xi did not dare to underestimate them. As there was not a single weak amongst them who could enter the inner court of the Dao Emperor Academy and occupy a position in the Heavenstar Saint Rankings. Not to mention that they were respectively ranked at the 1st, 2nd, and 5th positions in the Heavenstar Saint Rankings. So they were truly top experts in the Saint Immortal Realm.
"In order to obtain the recognition of Emperor Dao's legacy, then the first step was to enter the Eternal King's Tomb. After that, you should find the Immortal Coffin. If you can pass the examination of the Bloodpool Life Past Life, then you will be able to obtain the recognition of the legacy of the Dao Emperor. "As he chatted with Ye Tang and the others, Chen Xi finally had a rough understanding of the entire Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds. But it was only an understanding, whereas he would only be able to figure out the exact situation after he entered the grounds and experienced it himself.
However, through this conversation, Chen Xi discovered that no matter if it was Ye Tang, Zhen Lu, Ji Xuanbing, Zhao Mengli, Nie Xingzhen, Gu Yueru, or the others, it was not, all of them had set their eyes on the legacy of Emperor Dao .
Under such circumstances, Chen Xi could not help but feel a trace of pressure in her heart. Competition is really everywhere.
Swooshes!
While Chen Xi and the others were chatting, waves of fluctuations appeared in space, and then a graceful figure came out from within. Once this figure appeared, it instantly caught the attention of everyone present in the surroundings.
It's a woman. She had beautiful hair that flowed down like a waterfall to her shoulders, sparkling starry eyes, a smooth nose, red lips, and a graceful and slender figure that was completely enveloped by strands of divine light. He exuded a thread of dreamlike aura, and it was divine and inviolable.
Ling Qingwu's!
One of the suns that lit up from the Eternal Dimension!
It was the first time he had appeared in the past few years, and as soon as he appeared, he instantly shocked everyone present here.
Because no matter if it was Ye Tang, Ji Xuanbing, and the others, or Chen Xi herself, all of them instantly realized that her aura had reached the Saint Immortal Realm!
"Senior sister Ling!" Wads of complicated expressions appeared on Ye Tang's face, but he still smiled lightly in the end and greeted her.
"Ye Tang's Young Brother." Ling Qingwu nodded. His attitude was calm, graceful, and calm. He could not be considered proud, yet he gave others the feeling that it was very difficult to make contact with him.
Chen Xi had heard countless rumors about Ling Qingwu, but when she actually saw him at this moment, she still could not help but feel her breath being slightly taken.
His attitude is too unique. It was calm, elegant, aloof, and independent. It seemed like he was not included in this world at all, yet it just so happened that he did not make others feel uncomfortable. This makes it look very special.
On the other hand, as soon as Ling Qingwu arrived, another figure appeared out of thin air!
This figure was as solitary as a mountain. She was wearing gray clothes, had snow-white hair, and striking features. As soon as he arrived, a cold, bone-piercing wind swept across space, and it caused space to tremble violently and freeze into layers of ice!
Jiankong Hua!
In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere became silent while everyone's gazes descended upon this gray-haired and white-clothed young man.
"I will lead the way to the Ancient Dao Emperor Grounds this time, and I guess you all already know the rules, so I won't talk any further about it." As soon as he arrived, Hua Jiankong did not waste a breath at all. He stretched out his right hand and fused his fingers into the shape of a sword, and then he slashed down lightly.
Om!
The entire sky above Antiquity Mountain suddenly emitted strands of violent spatial fluctuations. After which, a deep and mysterious door floated in the air, and slowly it appeared before everyone's eyes.
“Remember, you all only have one month. If you don't come back after a month, then you'll be stuck there for the rest of your life! "Hua Jiankong instructed casually before he flicked his sleeves.
It's thundering!
Before Chen Xi recovered from her shock, her entire body was swept away by a power that was impossible to resist, and then her gaze turned black before she completely lost all perception towards her surroundings.
