Ever since Yunyao reminded Ji Tianxing, he has been taking precautions these days.
He was not only wary of people from the Duanmu and Murong aristocratic families, he was also wary of other emperors who rashly approached and made overtures.
Even when he was practicing and sleeping in the Tianxing Palace, he remained vigilant at all times.
Although there are no guards or strong men guarding the huge Tianxing Palace.
But in the past few days, he has deployed powerful Tianyuan formations everywhere in the palace.
With his attainments in formations, the Tianyuan formations he deployed were very powerful, enough to compete with and kill low-level Tianyuan experts.
Those ubiquitous Tianyuan formations are much more effective than the guards.
Of course Yan'er knew Ji Tianxing's plan and the arrangements he had made in the past few days.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered to Ji Tianxing: "Brother Tianxing, you have been planning for several days and are fully prepared.
The assassin in black failed to sneak in and was stopped by another man in black. This was indeed a pity.
However, the second man in black who appears is lurking outside Tianxing Palace, seems to be protecting us and helping us resist the assassin?
I don’t know who that person is? Or, who sent him?”
Ji Tianxing also showed doubts, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the identity of the second man in black must be investigated as soon as possible.
We have no other friends in the emperor's palace except Senior Sister, so who will protect us secretly?"
Yan'er pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then murmured in a low voice: "Senior brother, the only answer I can think of is Senior Sister.
I don’t think anyone will send anyone to protect us except her, right?”
Ji Tianxing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Not necessarily! If Senior Sister wants to help us, she can just tell us directly. Why send someone to protect us secretly?
In addition, the second man in black is a strong man in the Tianyuan realm. How can Senior Sister mobilize the strong Tianyuan realm to protect us?
There is only one Tianyuan realm strongman around her, who is also the guard commander arranged by Yunling Palace, and only takes orders from Yunling Palace..."
Yunyao had been in Qingtian Sect before and had no close followers or bodyguards around him.
Even if she wanted to mobilize Tianyuan realm experts from Yunling Palace to secretly protect Tianxing Palace, the Yun family might not be willing to agree.
A strong person in the Tianyuan Realm is not a carrot or cabbage. Even in a family of thousands of years, he is still a mainstay. How can he be mobilized at will?
After listening to Ji Tianxing's explanation, Yan'er immediately understood the key.
But this made him even more confused.
"Senior Brother Tianxing, if it's not someone sent by Senior Sister, then who is it?"
Ji Tianxing frowned and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I can't think of anyone else who will help us secretly.
Now we are in the open, and those who want to deal with us and help us are all in the dark.
The water in the Emperor's Mansion is getting muddier, and we must investigate clearly as soon as possible in order to seize the opportunity."
"Yes." Yan'er nodded firmly, full of confidence in him.
Ji Tianxing patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "The assassin in black was stopped just now, and he won't take the bait again tonight.
Yan'er, go back and rest."
Afterwards, the two left the room and returned to their respective residences.
Ji Tianxing returned to the room where he lived, sat cross-legged on the bed, and practiced silently.
Now that he has his own spiritual veins and cave, the biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to worry about training resources.
There is endless spiritual energy in the Tianxing Palace, allowing him to practice with twice the result with half the effort.
Even the burial sky in the Sword God's tomb can continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to speed up the recovery of strength.
Tianxing Palace is located on the "spring" of the spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy is extremely abundant.
A super formation was set up in the cave, gathering spiritual energy from all directions, causing the spiritual energy in the palace to form a colorful spiritual cloud.
As soon as Ji Tianxing practiced his martial arts, the colorful spiritual clouds above the palace turned into strands of colorful spiritual mist, pouring into his body continuously.
The extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into surging true energy, flowing turbulently in the sword palace in his body.
He practiced hard at the eighth level of the Sword Heart Way, and while constantly tempering the Sword Palace, he also allowed the sword fetus to gradually grow stronger, and the accumulated true energy became stronger and stronger.
"The eighth level of the Way of the Sword Heart requires tempering the physical body to the extreme and reaching the limit of strength.
Only when my physical body reaches its limit and I am fully prepared can I practice the ninth level of the Way of the Sword Heart and fuse the Sword Heart.
In addition, I need to master the elemental power of wood and earth elements as soon as possible so that I can gather the power of the five elements and improve my strength faster..."
Ji Tianxing was silently calculating in his mind, and had already made preparations and arrangements for his future cultivation plans and steps.
After a while, he entered a state of clear mind and concentrated on practicing the exercises, forgetting the passage of time.
Two days passed quickly.
In the early morning of the third day, Ji Tianxing was still meditating in his room, surrounded by colorful spiritual energy.
At this moment, Yan'er came to the door and called softly: "Brother Tianxing, are you in the room?
Senior brother, here is an invitation for you..."
Ji Tianxing was awakened by Yan'er's voice, so he ended his exercise practice and opened his eyes.
He was still sitting on the sapphire bed, waved his hand to create a spiritual light, and opened the door.
"Yan'er, come in and tell me if you have anything."
Yan'er hurriedly walked into the room, holding a gold-rimmed sandalwood box inlaid with jade in both hands, and handed it to him.
"Senior Brother Tianxing, just now a black-armored guard from the Imperial Palace came to the gate of Tianxing Palace and handed this box to me.
The guard said there was an invitation inside, and he told me to deliver it to you."
"An invitation sent by the guards of the Imperial Palace?" Ji Tianxing frowned in confusion, reached out and took the sandalwood box, holding it in his hand and looking at it.
"Who sent the invitation in such a luxurious box?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to create a spiritual light and unlocked the simple formation on the sandalwood box.
Then, he opened the sandalwood box and took out an invitation with red background and gilded characters.
He opened the luxurious and exquisite invitation and carefully looked at its contents.
Ten breaths later, after he read the contents of the invitation, his face suddenly changed slightly and he frowned.
Yan'er kept looking at him with confusion. Seeing his strange expression, she couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Tianxing, what's wrong? Who sent this invitation?"
Ji Tianxing closed the invitation, put it back into the sandalwood box, and put it into the space ring.
He replied with a normal expression: "Long Yunxiao."
"Long Yunxiao?" Yan'er became more and more confused and asked: "Hasn't the emperor been recovering from his injuries and not returned to the emperor's palace? Why did he send you an invitation?"
Ji Tianxing stood up and walked to the door of the room, saying in a calm tone: "In three days, he will choose his concubine at the Qitian Tower in the Imperial Court, and he will invite me to watch the ceremony."
Yan'er's expression suddenly changed, and she muttered in a solemn tone: "What should come will eventually come, the emperor will finally choose his concubine..."
