I don't know how long it took, Nangong Xuan's consciousness finally landed, and it was pitch black all around.

Just as Nangong Xuan's consciousness was cautiously looking around, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, and then a figure identical to his demonization appeared.

"You're here."

"The First Emperor?" Nangong Xuan looked at the figure in front of him in surprise.

The phantom of the First Emperor smiled: "Hehe, you forgot, I am you, you are me, we are all the First Emperor."

"How did I get here? What is this place? Nangong Xuan looked around suspiciously.

The First Emperor Phantom said slowly: "This is your consciousness space, and if you can come here, it means that the Dao has dissipated, and the power of my sacrifice has also disappeared."

Seeing that Nangong Xuan seemed to have something to say, the First Emperor Phantom stopped him.

"I'm running out of time, listen to me, I know the remnants have invaded again, and you have two options now."

"The first one to accept my power to break through to the point where you can immediately break through to the First Emperor Realm."

"The second one merges with me, I become your memory, and then you cultivate yourself to the First Emperor Realm."

Nangong Xuan asked, "Is there any difference?"

"Accept my power, you will be trapped in the First Emperor Realm for the rest of your life, unable to break through again, merge with me, and your future will break the First Emperor Realm and go to the next level." The First Emperor did not hide it.

When Nangong Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this is really not a good choice.

Accept the power of the First Emperor, and you will have the power to protect the Xuanmo Universe.

But although the First Emperor was strong back then, he still couldn't get rid of those remnant spirit clans, and finally reluctantly sacrificed himself.

But if he fuses with the First Emperor, will he still be him?

Nangong Xuan thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I choose to go my own way."

He neither chose to accept the power of the First Emperor, nor did he choose to merge with the First Emperor.

He is who he is, and now he has nothing to do with the First Emperor, and he does not intend to follow the old path of the First Emperor.

"Well, in that case, I'll use my last strength to protect the Xuanmo Universe one last time." As if he guessed that Nangong Xuan would choose this, the First Emperor smiled slightly.

"But don't let your guard down, I can protect the Xuanmo Universe for ten thousand years at most, or even less than ten thousand years, so I need to rely on you next."

Nangong Xuan nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, the Xuanmo Universe is also my home, and I will protect it."

The First Emperor smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and then slowly dissipated.

Nangong Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, and the injuries on his body made him gasp.

Ten thousand years, unless he breaks through his cultivation, it is impossible for him to recover from his injuries.

Thinking of this, Nangong Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, but no matter what, it was his heart's choice.

At the same time, in the void.

An invisible force separated the Remnant Spirit Clan from Li Junning and Yuan Yulong, turning into an enchantment to prevent the Remnant Spirit Clan from rushing in.

This scene made everyone stunned, not understanding where this enchantment came from and why it appeared here.

They were surprised, but anyway, the barrier did them a great favor.

At least for a short time, these remnants will not attack.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Junning asked Yuan Yulong to arrange for some people to stay here, while the rest returned to the mainland first.

On the side of the remnant spirit clan, everyone was also very surprised, how could an enchantment suddenly appear.

Qi Shuli said in a deep voice: "You continue to attack and break this barrier!"

He, Qi Yanfeng, and Qi Wujiao need to heal for a while, especially Qi Yanfeng, who is seriously injured, and needs to adjust his state well.

After hearing Qi Shuli's order, these remnant spirit clans didn't say a word, and immediately frantically launched an attack on the enchantment.

Continent.

After the powerhouses of the Yuan Realm returned, they immediately returned to their own territories and began to adjust their states, this time the remnant spirit clan invaded, and they barely stopped it.

But next time, there will be no such good luck.

So they have to try to adjust their form as soon as possible and try to get themselves back to their peak form.

Li Junning and Yuan Yulong returned to the ancestral pavilion, they wanted to take a look at Nangong Xuan's situation, but Nangong Xuan was in the secret room, so they didn't bother Nangong Xuan.

Yuan Yulong said to everyone: "Everyone rest and rest, and strive to return to peak condition as soon as possible."

This time, their ancestral pavilion was also damaged, and most of them were severely damaged.

There were also a small number of people with minor injuries.

If you don't adjust your state quickly, it will be difficult to resist the remnant spirit clan next time.

The crowd didn't say anything, and they didn't want to say anything now, the battle just now had already exhausted them physically and mentally.

"You should also cultivate, and strive for an early breakthrough." Li Junning glanced at Yuan Yulong and them indifferently, and left after speaking.

Regarding Li Junning's attitude, Yuan Yulong didn't think anything about it.

Li Junning's state, it's not the first time they've seen it, and they all know that Li Junning in this state doesn't have any feelings for anyone except Nangong Xuan.

Yuan Yulong opened his mouth and said: "Jun Ning is right, we must also pay close attention to cultivation and strive for an early breakthrough, as long as we break through, we will be sure to resist these remnant spirit clans."

Li Junning's breakthrough gave them a lot of encouragement and made them realize that what Nangong Xuan said before was not unreasonable.

Now they all have hope of a breakthrough.

"Try your best, although the road of the avenue is open, but it will not be so easy to break through next." Nie Yang smiled bitterly.

He didn't mean that he was discouraged, but it was really not easy to break through, and Nangong Xuan was a good example.

Among the five of them, Nangong Xuan's breakthrough was the fastest, but now they haven't broken through to the First Emperor Realm, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for them to break through.

Yuan Yulong patted Nie Yang's shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, the road is already open, let's just stride forward."

"The Dragon King is right, don't be discouraged, we can't put the burden on King Xuan and Jun Ning." Tang Guqing smiled.

Nie Yang smiled and nodded, and the three brothers returned to their secret room and began to cultivate.

Nangong Xuan already knew what was going on outside, but he didn't go out, what he had to do now was to break through to the First Emperor Realm as soon as possible, and then solve these remnant spirit clans, which was the most critical thing to start with.

In particular, the enchantment made by the First Emperor can last for 10,000 years at most, and it can't be maintained if there are too many.

And it's not certain whether it can last for 10,000 years, and now those remnant spirits are attacking the enchantment.

Therefore, there is really not much time left for them.

Nangong Xuan completely emptied himself and immersed himself in cultivation, he had to strive for a breakthrough within 10,000 years.

After seeing the remnant spirit clan, although the others were terrified in their hearts, they also knew that there was a catastrophe in front of them in front of them, and they had to go through it and not retreat.
