iao is truly someone I'm interested in."< In the cave, that voice came again. >"But that's fine too, an unknown opponent is what makes the challenge more interesting."Next, the Sea of Boundaries will...Right now, Jun Xiaoyao is still unable to break through this sealing formation.

But without this Heavenly Way staff, the entire sealing formation began to become unstable.

The Empress's corpse, her aura too terrifying.

Even without consciousness, the sheer power of its instinct alone is enough to make the entire sealing formation tremble.

"I suppose the wise Hui Buddha-son will be coming too. Chen Xuan, you'd better take this blame."

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, a crystal stone in his grasp.

This is exactly the stone of keeping shadows.

This records Chen Xuan's previous appearance.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao didn't want Chen Xuanyin's identity as a teacher of an emperor to be exposed either, because this would cause some unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao only recorded that the Heaven-Dao Staff broke free from its seal.

... while Chen Xuan was about to make a move to seize it. ...

Although this, perhaps cannot conclusively determine Chen Xuan's guilt.

But making him feel bad was definitely a given.

The so-called child of destiny, like a spring, the harder it is pressed, the higher it bounces.

"Chen Xuan, I'm doing this to help you grow quickly. It's for your own good, so don't blame me."

Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

Actually, Chen Xuan and Lu Yuan before him were not even considered opponents in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

But just grass and pawns.

What Jun Xiaoyao truly cares about is that they all possess that mysterious mark.

The cause and effect behind that mysterious mark is what might be connected to the real big fish.

"Will he be the true descendant of the Emperor"

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

If so, then the descendant of the Emperor is quite clever, unlike his previous opponents.

Rather than standing in the spotlight, he chose to remain behind the scenes, using the favored son as a pawn to secretly observe the situation.

No matter what, the truth will come out.

Jun Xiaoyao's figure vanished from where he stood, leaving the place.

Around the same time.

Another place.

Asking the Buddha's Son, having shaken off the blood demon who had been chasing him before, was on his way to the bottom of the Dead Sea Eye.

However, he suddenly felt a tremor, the entire Dead Sea seemed to be trembling, with surging ominous energy.

"Oh no!"

Asked the Buddha's son, with a startled expression, quickened his pace, transforming into a golden divine rainbow and fleeing into the sky.

At the edge of the Dead Sea.

Some cultivators from powerful factions also arrived here, but their numbers were not large.

Among them was Xia Guihua.

As the heir apparent to the Xia Dynasty, she was not weak in power. Although she hadn't reached the level of a quasi-emperor, it wasn't far off.

Most importantly, she awakened the celestial bird's good fortune.

This kind of good fortune would protect her, even in the midst of this battlefield. She hadn't encountered too many dangers here.

"Could Xiao Yao have entered the Dead Sea"

Throughout her journey, Xia Guihua hadn't seen Jun Xiaoyao's figure.

But at that moment.

The Dead Sea suddenly surged with waves, crimson tides crashing against the heavens. A terrifying aura, to the point of trembling the cosmos, arose.

This wave emanated outwards, silencing countless beings across the battlefield.

"It's the Empress' aura!"

A blood-kin creature couldn't help but exclaim in awe, their eyes filled with fervent worship.

And the cultivators who originated from the universe were all greatly astonished.

"This is..."

When Xia Guihua sensed this aura.

She suddenly had a kind of reaction, her soul aching and her spirit trembling.

She felt a strange power surging within her, her blood seemed to burn hot, and she had a searing sensation in her back.

It felt like a red-hot branding iron was pressed against my back.

But Xia Huahua was not an ordinary person after all, she did not show any too abnormal state, only slightly furrowed her willow eyebrows.

At the same time, far away at Dongling Temple.

Deep within the temple, in an ancient and serene meditation hall.

A wizened old monk in ancient robes sat cross-legged in meditation on a cushion.

At one moment, the old monk suddenly opened his eyes.

In her cloudy old eyes, golden lotuses seemed to bloom, carrying auspicious meaning.

"Not good."

Golden Buddha light rose from the old monk's body, filled with profound mystery, causing ripples in space.

His figure instantly blurred, vanishing from sight.

This is precisely one of the Six Supernatural Powers of Buddhism: the supernatural power of walking through walls.

The so-called divine foot skills are not literally referring to martial arts techniques.

...while it is a powerful Buddhist supernatural ability that allows one to be unburdened and free, traveling through the heavens at will. ...

Of course, ordinary Buddhist practitioners find it difficult to cultivate to this state.

But this old monk was different.

He was the abbot of Donling Temple, Lotus Flower Buddha Saint. In his lifetime, he cultivated diligently, achieving great success in cultivation. Although he had not reached the level of Donling Buddha Emperor, he was not far behind.

……

The bottom of the Dead Sea eye.

"Who is plotting against me!"

Chen Xuan cried out in surprise, waking up.

His face was pale, with bloodstains still visible at the corner of his mouth. His forehead throbbed painfully, as if it were about to split open.

The soul was even more severely impacted, and if not for the protection of the Three Lives Reincarnation Seal, eight out of ten would have perished.

"Who is it!"

Chen Xuan's lips trembled, his anger made his liver ache, his five viscera and six bowels were trembling, and his blood seemed about to be burned by the fire of anger.

Logically, no one should know his purpose for this trip, let alone that he would come to retrieve the Heaven's Mandate Staff.

Now that the Heavenly Mandate Staff is gone, it must have been taken by the person who plotted against him.

"Who is it..."

Chen Xuan pondered deeply in his mind.

But I never would have guessed.

Although those disciples of the grass hut often mocked him in their daily lives.

But precisely because of this, he wouldn't be noticed and couldn't possibly be tracked.

"Right..."

Chen Xuan suddenly thought of the young man in white who had come to the thatched cottage with Xia Guihua that day.

that is, Jun Xiaoyao.

At that time, Chen Xuan sensed a faint threat from Jun Xiaoyao.

However, Jun Xiaoyao and he didn't say a word to each other, nor did they have any contact.

How could he possibly know his ins and outs, his thoughts

Chen Xuan was truly puzzled.

But no matter what, this time he fell flat on his face and took a beating.

But matters are even more serious than that.

Seeing the constantly vibrating seal formation, Chen Xuan's face turned grim.

This time it's a complete loss.

And at that moment, a figure flashed and landed here. It was none other than the Buddhist son, Wen Hui.

"Brother Chen, what's going on"

Chen Xuan's face froze, he didn't answer.

At first glance, the Buddhist disciple Wen Hui's complexion changed.

"The Celestial Staff is missing How could that be"

Master Hui's gaze unconsciously fell upon Chen Xuan.

If Chen Xuan were to take the Heaven's Mandate Staff, things would be very serious.

The entire sealing formation will become unstable, and the Empress's residual energy will leak out. This might drive the blood race into greater frenzy, or even cause some unpredictable transformation.

In summary, the consequences are severe.

Chen Xuan naturally didn't want to take the blame for this.

He shook his head directly and said, "Disciple, you misunderstood,"

To be frank, when I arrived here, someone was plotting against me in secret. I have no idea who it was.

But it's likely the Heaven-Dao Staff was stolen from him.

Chen Xuan's explanation caused Wen Hui Buddha-child to frown.

Let's not talk about how that mysterious person took the Heavenly Staff.

Could it be that Chen Xuan, someone so powerful, could have been easily tricked

Although he doesn't put on airs, Wen Hui Fuzizi knows that Chen Xuan is definitely capable.

But right now, the situation is urgent, and besides, before asking Hui-wu, I also got along quite well with Chen Xuan.

So he didn't ask him for the time being, but instead took out the most precious treasure of Dongling Temple, the Turning Wheel Sutra Drum, to assist in sealing the great formation and suppressing the remnants of the Empress.

But what made Zen Master Wen Hui's face turn cold was...

The seal formation still shows no signs of stability.

"Now we're in trouble..."

Wen Hui Buddha's son sighed softly.ial clan stands as your support.Not to mention that now there's also a Jixia Academy.So, if he could get on good terms with the Guardians, it would be beneficial to him as well.“The Chu Imperial Clan...
