(Girl)

In the mist, there is a clear and clear sky, and on the earth in the distance, there are ten ancient cities.

The main city is located in the center, like an ancient fierce beast crawling, exuding the charm of the ancient.

Nine sub-cities are located around, like faithful guards, standing for millions of years without falling, and there is a long corridor between them and the main city.

This scene is very similar to the floating island and the Heavenly Pillar.

However, it doesn't matter how the ancient city is, what really matters is that there are still living creatures in the ancient city!

That's right! Living human beings! from the remnants of ancient times!

Xiao Chen stood on the hillside, looking at the ten ancient cities in the distance, vaguely visible, many figures were moving in the city, and the surging breath of life could be clearly perceived even if it was dozens of miles away!

This scene was like thunder on dry land, which made Xiao Chen unable to recover for a long time, and felt unparalleled absurdity!

Yes!

Maybe others don't know the origin of this secret realm, but he knows very well that it was opened up by Emperor Jiuyang Wu in the ancient period, and it has a history of millions of years!

Millions of years, what is this concept?

What is the concept of a group of people who have thrived on a small floating island for millions of years without dying?

Xiao Chen didn't know, he only felt the incomparable absurdity, and even a trace of unease.

"Is it a fantasy?!"

Although Xiao Chen thought about it, he also felt that it was not feasible, after all, he did not feel a trace of rhyme, and the breath of life in the city was very real, and it was difficult to forge it.

If it was a fake, it would be a terrifying illusion, at least unheard of!

Secret Realm, Emperor Wu, floating islands, ancient cities, ancient relics, what a terrifying combination!

Xiao Chen only felt that he had come to a very unbelievable place, and this was just a distant look, if he entered the city, he didn't know if there would be other 'surprises' waiting for him.

"No matter, observe for a while, and then find a way to infiltrate the city, these ancient relics should not welcome outsiders. ”

Xiao Chen made up his mind to find a hidden place to hide, however, as soon as his mind started, he suddenly found that a figure was speeding towards him, and its speed was comparable to that of a high-level martial arts realm!

"Oh no!

Xiao Chen was suddenly convulsed, and after thinking about it, he decided to retreat first, before the situation was clear, it was not easy to clash with the forces here, if there was only one high-level force martial arts realm chaser, he could easily get rid of it, but if the conflict escalated, the next time he came to chase and kill him, it might not be one or two!

So after weighing, Xiao Chen made the most favorable decision.

However, there are often times when ideas and reality are always at odds with each other, just when Xiao Chen just made a decision, a ray of light suddenly flew out, as if it could shuttle through space, and appeared directly above Xiao Chen, turning into a light curtain that enveloped all the surrounding ten meters of land!

"Oops! It's a defensive talisman! I'm in trouble! With my strength, if I want to break it, I need at least a stick of incense time, and this stick of incense time is enough for that person to come!"

Xiao Chen secretly screamed that it was not good, he recognized this thing at a glance, this is an auxiliary spirit weapon, and it is also a one-time item, it is the refiner who refines some magical powers into a spirit rune, and when he wants to use it, he only needs to urge the spirit rune.

And what trapped Xiao Chen was a kind of defensive spirit rune, as the name suggests, this kind of spirit rune can be used to defend against the enemy, but the reverse is used, it has become Xiao Chen's current situation, the outside can't attack him, and he can't go out, unless the defensive light curtain is broken, he can only wait until a certain time limit to let the defensive light curtain disappear automatically.

Of course, on the bright side, he was safe, at least for the time being, so he didn't attempt to attack the light curtain, but stood still and waited to see what the comer's intentions were.

Soon, the figure rushed up the hill and stopped outside the light curtain, this was a woman, Mo was about twenty years old, dressed in clothes similar to the flag skirt of the outside world, she had a delicate and lovely face, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, clear and bright eyes, and she did not seem to come with hostility.

This made Xiao Chen feel puzzled, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least the person who came seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy, then there was still a possibility of maneuvering.

He was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at the woman quietly, but the latter bowed slightly and said, "Maid Ling'er, in the name of the high priest, I have come to greet the divine envoy." ”

"Huh?!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect the woman's first sentence to be so weird.

The woman who called herself Ling'er suddenly smiled, pointed to the magnificent ancient city in the distance, and said, "First of all, Ling'er, on behalf of the High Priest, welcomes the Divine Envoy to the Heavenly City. ”

After Ling'er finished speaking, she looked directly at Xiao Chen and continued to speak: "Ling'er knows that the Divine Envoy must have a lot of questions, but Ling'er can come together for the Divine Envoy, and ask the Divine Envoy to listen." ”

"The city that the divine envoy sees now is called Zhutian City, which was built by our ancestor Jiuyang, and it is also the place where Jiuyang Lord sits. ”

At the mention of 'Lord Jiuyang', Ling'er's eyes suddenly showed incomparable respect, and she didn't continue until after half a ring: "Lord Jiuyang once had a testament, if someone from the outside world can come here after many tests, he can become a divine envoy and be qualified to become the inheritor of Lord Jiuyang......"

Ling'er told Xiao Chen all the information about the 'divine envoy', and also gave Xiao Chen a general understanding of this place.

According to Ling'er, a nine-story ancient pagoda located in the center of the main city is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Jiuyang, but it has been imposed with nine powerful seals, and all seals need to be opened before entering.

The way to open the seal is through the 'Battle of the Holy Tower'.

The so-called 'Battle of the Holy Tower' is a battle between divine envoys, but strictly speaking, not all divine envoys, but 'divine envoys'.

To put it bluntly, the Lord of the Divine Envoy is the leader of the Divine Envoy, just like the gang in the Qianqing Palace, it must be Lu Xing who can become the Lord of the Divine Envoy.

Of course, the Divine Envoy is not a self-appointed one, this is the so-called high priest baptism before it can be officially become, and once it becomes the Divine Envoy, you can participate in the Battle of the Holy Tower......

“...... All Oracles can be supported by an army, and they can also recruit other Oracles to help, and if they can successfully kill any of them, they will receive a key to open the seal and access to the Holy Tower. ”

"There are a total of nine seals, and there are a total of nine keys, and there are only nine people who can enter the Holy Tower, but only one person can become the inheritor of Lord Jiuyang in the end, so I also ask the Lord of the Divine Envoy to think about it, whether to become the Lord of the Divine Envoy to compete for nine places, or to assist other Lord of the Divine Envoy. ”

Ling'er told the whole incense stick for a long time before stopping, and finally looked at Xiao Chen with a smile, waiting for his choice.

However, this thing that should have been exciting did not make Xiao Chen show any expression, but said with a flat face: "How many people are there in the Divine Envoy? How many people are there in the Divine Envoy Lord? How many seals have been opened?"

"There are still nine hundred and fifty-two people left in the Divine Envoy Lord, and there are sixteen people left in the Divine Envoy Lord, and the seals have been opened three times, respectively in the Wind City, the Water City, and the Earth City. Ling'er replied respectfully.

Xiao Chen nodded, the wind, water, and earth city Ling'er had already told that the main city was called Zhutian, and the surrounding nine cities were Jincheng, Wood City, Water City, Fire City, Earth City, Wind City, Thunder City, Light City and Dark City.

However, what Xiao Chen cares about is the word 'left', according to the literal meaning, there should be many martial artists buried here.

In fact, after listening to Ling'er's story, Xiao Chen was not excited by the inheritance of Emperor Jiuyang Wudi, but felt very weird.

That's right! It's just weird!

This is a kind of intuition on his part, although he doesn't know where the weirdness is, everything sounds reasonable, but it's this too perfect 'reasonable', but everywhere is unreasonable!

First of all, Ling'er mentioned the many tests set by Emperor Wu of Jiuyang, the age taboo of twenty years old, the advanced maze, and the other routes Xiao Chen didn't know, what they walked was the Requiem Forest, and then it was like an endless primeval forest.

And these so-called 'tests', they seem to be easy, but in the final analysis, it is because of too much time, a whole million years of history, which will eventually lead to the exhaustion of the maze formation, the withering of the branches and leaves of the requiem forest, and the thinning of the aura in the primeval forest, and the weakening of all the beasts from generation to generation.

But what if this secret realm is only separated by a thousand years, ten thousand years, even if it is born in a hundred thousand years? With the power of these 'tests', I am afraid that only by reaching the cultivation of Xiao Chen's previous life can he pass it, but don't forget, the first 'test' is a twenty-year-old age taboo, a martial saint less than twenty years old, has not appeared since ancient times!

Therefore, Xiao Chen still believed in his initial judgment, Jiuyang Martial Emperor didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders at all, which was contrary to the so-called inheritance.

Secondly, there is the problem of quantity, nine seals, nine keys, what if there are less than nine people entering this place? He doesn't believe that Emperor Jiuyang Wu can calculate that a large number of people will break in after a million years.

Of course, in addition to these two subjective reasons, the most unacceptable thing for Xiao Chen is this so-called inheritance test.

Since ancient times, all powerful ancestors who want to choose inheritors will be comprehensively tested from many aspects such as talent, potential, and temperament, so as to select a qualified inheritor.

But Emperor Jiuyang Wu set up a 'Battle of the Holy Tower', so that everyone could fight each other, and in the end, the winner would benefit, but-

What can this test?

Whose cultivation is high? Who has more means? Who has a good background? Or who has great power?

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like it's testing the inheritor, so Xiao Chen always feels that this matter is strange everywhere, and it will never be as simple as it seems on the surface!
