Chapter 475-476 The Holy Emperor Summons
"Huh~"
"I finally passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array in this routine assessment! Now, I have gained a cultivation value of one thousand two hundred points. To exchange for the ninth-level treasure in the Holy Emperor's treasure house, I need one thousand Heavenly Palace cultivation value points.
I have a full 1,200 points. In addition to exchanging for a level 9 treasure, I can also exchange for a level 6 treasure!"
After Xia Yan came out of the seventh-level devil formation, his heart was filled with excitement.
This time, Xia Yan spent nearly two hours and finally successfully passed through the devil's formation.
"Xia Yan, congratulations!"
"Haha, Xia Yan, congratulations!"
"Brother Xia Yan..."
Many Tiangong practitioners, as well as three patrollers, came out of the control room and congratulated Xia Yan with smiles.
"Whoosh~"
Just as the three inspectors and the cultivators were congratulating Xia Yan, Ye Lao's figure flew over from the rock formation. The figure left a black afterimage in the air. After a few breaths, Ye Lao landed on the ground.
, not far in front of Xia Yan and others.
Ye Lao's face was also slightly rosy and the dry wrinkles seemed to be much smoother at this time.
"Xia Yan!" After Ye Lao landed, he looked directly at Xia Yan, moved his fingers slightly, and called out.
"Ye Lao!" Xia Yan turned his eyes and saluted.
"Yes!" Ye Lao nodded, "The Holy Emperor is waiting for you in the Emperor's Palace right now. Go over there immediately. He may have something to explain to you!"
"Huh?" Xia Yan was slightly startled.
"The Holy Emperor called me, could it be that..." Xia Yan's eyes flickered, "There are some secrets in the Heavenly Palace that I don't know about. Could it be that the Holy Emperor wants to tell me some secrets in 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 and I'll leave first.
!”
"Xia Yan, go ahead!"
…
The inner palace of the Emperor's Palace!
"Xia Yan, you're here!"
Manager Lu seemed to be waiting for Xia Yan in the inner hall. When he saw Xia Yan appear in the inner hall, he immediately took a few steps forward and said to Xia Yan with a smile.
The three managers of the Emperor's Palace were all extremely polite to Xia Yan. Xia Yan was now far stronger than them, and Xia Yan also helped them a lot. In more than a year, Xia Yan met the Holy Emperor.
When I was there, I would often help them ask about some cultivation matters. This may seem like a small matter, but for a cultivator, it is a rare opportunity to get guidance from the Holy Emperor.
Being able to get the typical example of the Holy Emperor will save them a long time in understanding it on their own!
Of course, Xia Yan helping the three managers ask questions about cultivation is equivalent to asking Xia Yan for himself, which also has many benefits for Xia Yan himself.
"Manager Lu!" Xia Yan cupped his fists slightly at Manager Lu and smiled.
"You're welcome, the Holy Emperor is waiting for you inside. Come in quickly!" Manager Lu stretched out his right hand and pointed to a secret room deep in the inner hall.
"Yeah!" Xia Yan responded and walked over.
"Lord Holy Emperor!" Xia Yan saw the Holy Emperor wearing a dark golden robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, bowing and greeting him.
Hearing Xia Yan's voice, the Holy Emperor slowly opened his eyes. His deep eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, and the brilliance flashed. Then, they gradually faded away.
"Sit!" The Holy Emperor pulled the corner of his mouth and spit out one word.
Xia Yan walked to the futon opposite the Holy Emperor, sat down cross-legged, facing the Holy Emperor, and looked down ahead, waiting for the Holy Emperor to speak.
"Xia Yan, just now I heard Ye Lao say that in this routine assessment of the Heavenly Palace, you passed the seventh-level difficulty devil formation within two hours?" The Holy Emperor looked at Xia Yan's face and said in a calm voice.
, said slowly.
"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded and sat upright.
Xia Yan has entered this secret room many times, but every time he comes in, he still has some different feelings. The secret room is not big, and there is nothing in it except two futons. However, Xia Yan can really feel it
There is a strange energy contained in it.
"Very good." The Holy Emperor showed a satisfied expression on his face and nodded, "You came to Tiangong, but it has only been a little more than a year, and you can pass the seventh level of difficulty of the devil formation. You can be said to be a genius. Although you
Your realm is still that of the mid-level Spiritual Sect, but with your strength, there are probably not many cultivators below the Spiritual Emperor realm who can beat you."
"But..." The Holy Emperor first praised Xia Yan, then changed the subject, and the light in his eyes flashed, "After all, your realm has not reached the realm of the late Spirit Sect. If you meet those real peak Spirit Sects,
You must also be careful with those strong men who have entered the late-stage Lingzong realm for hundreds of years. The gap in realm will make you suffer greatly! When you truly enter the late-stage Lingzong realm..."
Hearing this, Xia Yan's heart trembled violently.
"I fought fiercely with the deputy sect leader of the Dongji force and eight elders under the Holy Mountain. Although I was seriously injured in the end, I successfully killed the deputy sect leader and the eight elders. The deputy sect master of Dongji also
There are eight elders who can be said to be at the pinnacle of Lingzong's strength, but the Holy Emperor..."
Xia Yan frowned slightly and thought to himself.
Seeing Xia Yan frowning, the Holy Emperor raised the corners of his mouth slightly and shook his head slightly, "Xia Yan, you killed several people from Dongji in a fierce battle a few months ago. I know about this.
. Do you think that the people you are fighting against are all powerful men second only to the Spiritual Emperor?"
Xia Yan was shocked, the Holy Emperor actually saw through his thoughts.
However, Xia Yan did think so in his heart.
"In our Heavenly Palace, aren't Ye Lao, the three inspectors, and the three managers of the Emperor's Palace all at the pinnacle of the Ling Sect?" Xia Yan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"hehe……"
The Holy Emperor laughed, and then said, "Xia Yan, you are right! If we divide them according to the definition, these people you mentioned are all at the peak level of Lingzong. They are far more powerful than the average late-stage Lingsong.
Duo. Even those people from Dongji who are fighting against you are all from the Peak Spirit Sect!"
The Holy Emperor looked at Xia Yan, "However, most people in this peak Spirit Sect have no possibility of becoming a Spirit Emperor. For example, Ye Lao, there is almost no possibility of him stepping into the realm of the Spirit Emperor.
There are probably two reasons. The first is that his body has entered the aging period, and the possibility of increasing his strength is very small. The second reason is that he is now far away from the realm of the Spirit Emperor... Ordinary practitioners may feel that Ye Lao is far away from the Spirit Emperor.
He is only one step away from the imperial realm. But in fact, he is still far away."
After hearing what the Holy Emperor said, Xia Yan became even more confused.
"Do you know the function of this devil array?" The Holy Emperor then talked about the fifty devil arrays in the Heavenly Palace.
"I know!" Xia Yan responded naturally, "In the Devil's Array, you can exercise various abilities of the cultivator. In the Devil's Array, the progress of the cultivator is much faster than normal cultivation. Moreover, training in the Devil's Array
Enter the Cultivation Tower later to absorb spiritual power more effectively."
Although Xia Yan said this, in his heart, he felt that the Devil Array might have more than just these functions. If not, any Tiangong cultivator would know the purpose of the Devil Array, would the Holy Emperor still need to ask himself?
really--
"Xia Yan, what you mentioned is indeed one of the uses of the devil array. However, the devil array also has another very important purpose. In fact, only cultivators who can pass the seventh level of difficulty of the devil array can step on it.
He has entered the realm of the Spirit Emperor. If he cannot 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? Only by passing the seventh-level difficulty devil formation can one become the Spirit Emperor?" Xia Yan was secretly shocked.
"Of course, even if you pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array, it is extremely difficult to become the Spirit Emperor. 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 the Spirit Emperor, you will eventually
A mortal, no matter how strong he is, cannot escape the limit of two hundred years of life!" An indescribable expression appeared on the Holy Emperor's indifferent face.
"Tiangong has existed for nearly four hundred years. Some Tiangong cultivators have also cultivated to the point where they can pass the seventh-level difficulty devil formation. These people are also the ones closest to the realm of the Spirit Emperor. Compared with the average peak spirit sect, their
The strength is much stronger." The Holy Emperor stood up from the futon, took a few steps forward towards Xia Yan, and spoke slowly.
"Xia Yan, have you noticed? In the Heavenly Palace now, except Ye Lao, who is over a hundred years old, the other cultivators are all young people under a hundred years old." The Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Yan.
asked.
"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, "Under normal circumstances, it should be no problem for a strong man in the Lingzong realm to live to two hundred years old. It should be impossible for a Tiangong cultivator to have only one Ye Lao who is over a hundred years old.
right!"
Xia Yan actually had this doubt in his mind for a long time.
