"Whew~"

"I have finally passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array in this routine assessment! Now, I have obtained a cultivation value, which has reached 1,200 points. 【Full Text Reading】To exchange for the ninth-level treasures in the Holy Emperor's Treasury, you need 1,000 Heavenly Palace cultivation points. I have a full 1,200 points, and in addition to exchanging for a ninth-level treasure, I can also exchange it for a sixth-level treasure!"

After Xia Yan came out of the seventh-level devil array, his heart was also surging.

This time, it took Xia Yan nearly two hours to finally break through the devil's array.

"Xia Yan, congratulations!"

"Haha, Xia Yan, congratulations!"

"Brother Xia Yan......"

Many Heavenly Palace cultivators, as well as three inspectors, all came out of the control room and congratulated Xia Yan with a smile.

"Whoosh~"

Just as the three inspectors and all the cultivators congratulated Xia Yan, the figure of the night elder flew over from the chaotic stone formation. The figure left a black afterimage in the air, and in a few breaths, Ye Lao fell to the ground, not far in front of Xia Yan and the others.

Ye Lao's face was also slightly ruddy, and the dry folds seemed to be much smoother at this time.

"Xia Yan!" After Ye Lao landed, he looked directly at Xia Yan, and with a slight move of his fingers, he shouted.

"Night Elder!" Xia Yan rolled his eyes and saluted.

"Hmm!" Ye Lao nodded, "Lord Holy Emperor, he is waiting for you in the Emperor's Hall at this time, you go over immediately, he may have something to explain to you!"

"Huh?" Xia Yan was slightly stunned.

"The Holy Emperor called me, is it ......" Xia Yan's eyes flashed, "In the Heavenly Palace, there are still some secrets that I don't know, could it be that the Holy Emperor wants to tell me some Heavenly Palace secrets?"

"Okay, I'll go to the Emperor's Hall right away!" Xia Yan turned around and looked at the three Inspectors and Heavenly Palace cultivators, "Three Inspectors, brothers, I'll go to see the Holy Emperor, so I'll leave first!"

"Xia Yan, go ahead!"

...... The inner sanctum of the Emperor's Palace!

"Xia Yan, you're here!"

Mr. Lu was in the inner hall, and it seemed that he was waiting for Xia Yan, and 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 Palace of Emperors were extremely polite to Xia Yan, Xia Yan's strength now far surpassed them, and Xia Yan also helped them a lot. In the past year or so, when Xia Yan met the Holy Emperor, he would often help them ask about some cultivation matters. This seemed like a trivial matter, but for a cultivator, it was a rare opportunity to receive the guidance of the Holy Emperor.

If they can get the type of the Holy Emperor, they may have to spend a long time to comprehend it themselves!

Of course, Xia Yan helping the three chief managers ask about the problems in cultivation is also tantamount to helping himself ask, and there are also many benefits to Xia Yan himself.

"Manager Lu!" Xia Yan clenched his fists slightly to Manager Lu and smiled.

"You're welcome, the Holy Emperor is waiting for you inside, you can go in quickly!" Chief Manager Lu stretched out his right hand and pointed to a secret room in the depths of the inner hall.

"Hmm!" Xia Yan responded, and walked over with his feet raised.

"Holy Emperor!" Xia Yan saw that the Holy Emperor was dressed in a dark golden robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, bowing in greeting.

Hearing Xia Yan's voice, the Holy Emperor slowly opened his eyes. The deep eyes are as bright as the stars in the night sky, and the brilliance is shining. Then, it faded away.

"Sit!" the Holy Emperor pulled the corners of his mouth and spit out a word.

Xia Yan walked to the futon opposite the Holy Emperor, sat down cross-legged, facing the Holy Emperor, his eyes looked down at the front, waiting for the Holy Emperor to speak.

"Xia Yan, I heard Ye Lao say just now, in this routine assessment of the Heavenly Palace, within two hours, you will pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array?"

"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, sitting up straight.

Xia Yan had entered this secret room many times, but every time he came in, he still had some different feelings. The chamber was not large, and there was nothing but two futons inside. However, Xia Yan could really feel a strange energy contained in it.

"Good. The Holy Emperor showed a satisfied expression on his face and nodded, "You came to the Heavenly Palace, but it only took a little more than a year to pass the Devil Formation of the seventh-level difficulty, which can be described as a genius of the Heavenly Sect." Although your realm is still a mid-stage Spirit Sect, your strength, cultivators under the Spirit Emperor realm, I am afraid that there are not many who can beat you. ”

"But......" The Holy Emperor first praised Xia Yan, and then the words changed, and the light in his eyes flickered, "After all, your realm has not yet reached the realm of the late stage Spirit Sect. If you encounter those true peak spirit sects, those powerhouses who have stepped into the realm of late-stage spirit sects for a hundred years, you must also be careful. The gap in the realm will make you suffer a lot! When you really step into the realm of the late-stage Spirit Sect......"

Hearing this, Xia Yan's heart trembled violently.

"At the foot of the Holy Mountain, I fought fiercely with the deputy sect master of the East Pole forces and the eight patriarchs, and although I was seriously injured in the end, I successfully killed the deputy sect master and the eight patriarchs. The deputy sect master of the East Pole, as well as the eight elders, can all be said to be the strength of the peak Spirit Sect, but the Holy Emperor ......"

Xia Yan frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.

Seeing Xia Yan frowning, the corners of the Holy Emperor's mouth raised slightly, and he shook his head slightly, "Xia Yan, a few months ago, you killed several people on the other side in a fierce battle with a cadre from the East Pole. I know that. Do you think that those people who fight with you are second only to the Spirit Emperor realm?"

Xia Yan was taken aback, the Holy Emperor actually saw through his thoughts.

However, Xia Yan did think so in his heart.

"In our Heavenly Palace, the night elders, the three inspectors, and the three chief managers of the Emperor's Palace, aren't they all the pinnacles of the Spirit Sect?" Xia Yan groaned slightly, and then spoke.

"Hehe......"

The Holy Emperor laughed, and then said, "Xia Yan, you're right! If you divide it according to the definition, all of these people you are talking about are at the peak realm of the Spirit Sect, and they are far more powerful than the ordinary late-stage Spirit Sect. Even those people in the East Pole who fought with you are all peak Spirit Sects!"

The Holy Emperor looked at Xia Yan, "However, most of the people in this peak Spirit Sect have no possibility of becoming the Spirit Emperor. For example, if he is old at night, he has almost no possible surname to step 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 growing his strength is very small. The second reason is that he is now far from the Spirit Emperor realm...... Ordinary cultivators might feel that Ye Lao was only one step away from the Spirit Emperor realm. But in reality, he is still far from it. ”

Hearing what the Holy Emperor said, Xia Yan was even more puzzled in his heart.

"Do you know the role of this Devil Array?" the Holy Emperor said of the fifty Devil Arrays in the Heavenly Palace.

"I know!" Xia Yan naturally responded, "In the Devil Array, you can exercise the various abilities of cultivators. Within the Devil Array, the speed of cultivation was much faster than normal cultivation. Moreover, after exercising in the Devil's Array and then entering the Cultivation Tower, the effect of absorbing spiritual power is even better. ”

Although Xia Yan said this in his mouth, in his heart, he felt that the Devil Array might not be just for these functions. Otherwise, any Heavenly Palace cultivator knew the purpose of the Devil Array, and it was necessary for the Holy Emperor to ask himself?

Sure enough, "Xia Yan, what you said is indeed one of the uses of the Devil Array. However, there is another important use for the Devil's Circle. In fact, only cultivators who could pass the seventh-level difficulty of the Devil Array could step into the Spirit Emperor realm. If he can't even pass through the seventh-level difficulty devil array, then his strength is still far from the Spirit Emperor realm!"

The Holy Emperor's eyes narrowed.

"What, only through the seventh-level difficulty devil array can you become a spirit emperor?" Xia Yan was secretly shocked in his heart.

"Of course, even if you pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array, it is extremely difficult to become a spirit emperor. Almost all cultivators are stagnant in this realm, and they can't take that step until they die! They can't become a Spirit Emperor, they are mortals after all, no matter how strong their strength is, they can't escape the limit of two hundred years of life!" The Holy Emperor's indifferent face even had a trace of indescribable expression.

"The Heavenly Palace has existed for nearly four hundred years, and the cultivators of the Heavenly Palace, there are some of them, who have also cultivated to the point where they can pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array. These people are also the people closest to the Spirit Emperor realm. Compared to the ordinary peak spirit sects, their strength was much stronger. The Holy Emperor stood up from the futon, took a few steps forward towards Xia Yan, and said slowly.

"Xia Yan, have you noticed it too? In the current Heavenly Palace, except for Ye Lao, who is over a hundred years old, the other cultivators are all young people under the age of a hundred. The Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Xia Yan and asked.

"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded, "Under normal circumstances, a powerhouse in the Spirit Sect realm should have no problem living to be two hundred years old. Heavenly Palace cultivators, it shouldn't be possible for only one night old to be more than a hundred years old!"

Xia Yan actually had this kind of doubt in his heart.

"Hehe, Heavenly Palace cultivator, of course it is impossible for Ye Lao to be the only one to live to be more than a hundred years old. I'll tell you where those people have gone. Now, you stand up!" the Holy Emperor first laughed, then let Xia Yan stand up.

Xia Yan stood up suspiciously, frowned slightly, and looked at the Holy Emperor.

"This sword of yours, yes, already has a certain spiritual surname, just a little bit, it can be promoted to an artifact. The Holy Emperor looked at the Dawn Sword in Xia Yan's hand, "Xia Yan, do you know that although your long sword is only one step away from the artifact, the difference in power is 108,000 miles?

"What?" Xia Yan's face suddenly changed.

He never expected that the power of the artifact would be so great! Xia Yan looked at the Dawn Sword in his hand, in fact, the Dawn Sword had already been promoted, Xia Yan had the most important Divine Stone, but now Xia Yan didn't have a chance.
