The little black dragon hovered over the lake, swallowing the spiritual mist all over the sky like a giant whale sucking water with every breath.
It looked leisurely and enjoying itself, and its tone of voice was full of joy.
"Lao Ji, I have communicated with Qianyue before, and my situation is the same as hers.
I don’t know why, since we broke through the soul refining realm, just like awakening our bloodline, opening up our spiritual intelligence and talents, our cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds.
We had always thought that it might be the powerful effect of the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix that brought us such changes.
But now, I feel that it is not just the effect of the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix, but there may be other reasons."
After hearing what the little black dragon said, Ji Tianxing smiled and explained: "You are not a dragon from the East China Sea, but a real dragon. Qianyue was also born extraordinary, and you are a celestial fox.
Both of you are divine beasts, your future achievements are limitless, and you will definitely reach the realm of gods.
After reaching the soul refining realm, you have inspired the bloodline and talents of the divine beasts. This is the beginning of your growth.
Don't get too entangled in this matter, just practice hard.
When you and Qian Yue break through to the Yuanshen Realm, we can travel across the Shenwu Continent and travel around the world."
The little black dragon nodded solemnly, with a look of anticipation in its huge dragon eyes.
"Old Ji, we know that maybe it won't be long before you go find Yunyao.
We will definitely encounter many dangers and ups and downs by then, so we have been practicing hard and hope to be able to help you in the future..."
Hearing its solemn and sincere words, Ji Tianxing felt warm in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, I also hope that you will become stronger soon and join me in the world."
He chatted with the little black dragon for a while before leaving Five Elements Spirit Lake.
Not long after, he exited the sword world and returned to the secret room to continue practicing his skills.
…
It's late at night and everything is silent.
There is a bright moon hanging in the high sky, shining bright moonlight.
On the top of Fengshen Mountain, the six palaces where geniuses from the Six Nations live are still lit with lights.
In the White Night Palace, in a dark secret room, colorful lights were shining.
A young man in black robe was sitting on a futon made of spiritual jade.
This man has a tall and straight figure, a face like a crown jewel, and is dressed like a handsome nobleman. His temperament is quite noble and elegant.
He is none other than the number one genius of the White Night Empire, the seventh son of the White Night Holy Emperor, Song Zhanyu.
At this time, he was holding a white message jade slip in both hands, flashing with little white lights.
The jade slip records a secret order from the White Night Holy Emperor.
After reading the order with his spiritual consciousness, he frowned and pondered with intense eyes.
After a long time, he put the jade slip into the space ring and murmured with a complex expression: "Ji Tianxing, the Sky Burying Sword...
I never expected that the most famous divine sword in the world would be in his hands!
This man is the number one genius of the Izumo Empire. Emperor Izumo didn't even realize that he had the Sky Burial Sword and let him come to Haotian Tower...
Is this the will of God? God has destined that the Sky Burial Sword will not belong to the Izumo Empire.
After Ji Tianxing came to Haotian Tower, he did not use any weapons or magic weapons. It seemed that he deliberately concealed the existence of the Sky Burial Sword.
If it hadn't been for this decree from my father, I wouldn't have known this secret."
The light in his eyes became more intense, he clenched his fists secretly, and said to himself: "However, now that I know this secret, I must look for opportunities to seize the Heavenly Burial Sword!
If I can win the Sky Burial Sword for my father, I may be able to help my father advance to the Martial God Realm...
At that time, my father will be able to keep pace with Taihao Martial God, and I will become the new Holy Emperor!"
Having said this, a vague sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.
However, after he thought calmly for a moment, the sneer on his lips gradually disappeared.
"It's a pity that that boy Ji Tianxing seems to be highly valued and favored by Her Royal Highness the little princess, so he was actually punished to clean the Shen Shu Pavilion for half a year.
In the past six months, I'm afraid he will stay in the Shen Shu Pavilion all the time, and I won't have a chance to make a move.
Do I have to wait until half a year later, during the examination of the divine disciples, before taking action?
This is not possible, I have to think of a way as soon as possible and find an opportunity to strike!"
Thinking of this, he frowned and pondered.
…
Time passed quickly.
Before I knew it, another half month had passed.
During the past half month, Ji Tianxing has been practicing in seclusion in the secret room of Shenshu Pavilion without anyone disturbing him.
After half a month of hard training, his strength has steadily advanced towards the sixth level of the Yuanshen Realm.
It's a pity that he still failed to fully understand the sixth move of the Nine Heavenly Burial Swords.
Early that morning, he finished his retreat and walked out of the secret room.
He walked to the edge of the hall, ready to find some ancient books from a row of bookshelves to read.
At this time, through the wide window lattice, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a mighty team on the square under the Haotian Tower, walking towards a certain palace.
It was an honor guard of about two hundred people, with hundreds of guards in silver armor and hundreds of young and dignified maids.
The guards were majestic, and the maids were wearing fluttering clothes, holding various musical instruments, and carrying bamboo baskets with flowers.
In the middle of the honor guard, there is a golden chariot gilded with jade, with a canopy at the head and a curtain of gems and beads hanging around it.
Ji Tianxing looked down at the honor guard from a high position. He could not see the people in the golden chariot, and could not guess the identity of the people riding in the chariot.
But he secretly thought that those who could put on such a grand display and enter the top of Fengshen Mountain with great fanfare must have extraordinary origins.
"Is she the divine son or princess of Lord Taihao? Jiujiu's brother and sister?"
After a while, the honor guard entered a splendid palace, and he withdrew his gaze.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the second protector in black robes standing not far from him.
The second guardian came silently, like a ghost.
A pair of cloudy eyes under the black robe were also staring at the square under the Haotian Tower, watching the honor guard enter the palace.
Ji Tianxing hesitated for a moment before asking: "Second Protector, whose team was that guard of honor just now?"
The Second Protector looked out the window expressionlessly, and said in a hoarse voice calmly: "It's the crown prince of Qianxue Empire, Lu Li.
He was also a divine disciple of Haotian Tower. After achieving great success, he left Haotian Tower, returned to Qianxue Empire and was named the crown prince.
Every three years, he would go back to Haotian Tower to worship Lord Taihao in the temple.
However, he will first stay in Ningshen Temple for seven days, purify and bathe for seven days, and then go to the temple to worship."
"That's it." Ji Tianxing nodded to express his understanding.
The Second Protector showed a look of relief in his eyes and continued: "Lu Li is very good! He has come to Shen Shu Pavilion countless times, reading books without sleep or food, and has also asked me for Taoist scriptures many times.
He is a genius with both political integrity and ability, and he will definitely inherit the position of Holy Emperor in the future."
