Chapter 379 - Homecoming
No matter how well-mannered he was, he couldn"t hold the anger of being treated so flippantly by Jian Chen.
He took a deep breath and retreated.
No matter how unhappy he was, there was nothing he could do. After all, it was Jian Chen.
Compared to Xuan Yi, Xuan Yi"s disciple was nothing.
Soon, there was no one else in the area. Jian Chen sighed and returned to the underground palace.
The underground palace wound into the ground, which was a long journey.
Xuan Yi was in the deepest part of the palace.
During the past three months, Xuan Yi had never left this place.
He had been training here.
He sat cross-legged in the hall where the power of law was the strongest.
The divine essence in front of him was piled up like a small mountain.
There was the power of law in the divine essence, but it was not pure law.
Although there were still many impurities in it, they were no longer of any importance to him.
He had been staying here for three months, so he had already fused these powers of laws into his body, and these powers had become incredibly powerful.
If there was one word that could be used to describe this place, it was a cultivation treasure trove!
One year of cultivation here was equivalent to ten years of cultivation in the outside world.
Xuan Yi opened his palms, and vigorous spiritual essence continuously surged out from his palms.
In the small world behind him, there were a total of thirty-three stars s.h.i.+ning in the folds.
And in the middle of these thirty-three stars, there was a star revolving around it. Beside this star, there was another star revolving around this star, and on the other two sides, there were four stars revolving around the same star.
Xuan Yi"s eyes were tightly shut, the spirit essence in his body was rapidly circulating.
The thirty-three stars were already revolving around this world, and there was extremely dense spirit energy circulating above the stars.
Although there were already so many spirit origin nodes, Xuan Yi did not have the slightest bit of joy.
Because according to what Bing Yu said before, theoretically, it was possible to open thirty-six spirit origin nodes.
Of course, this was only a theory. Even Bing Yu had only reached his limit by reaching thirty-two.
But Xuan Yi had already broken through the limit that Bing Yu had created.
He felt that he had even greater potential; he had yet to reach the limit that he could reach.
Unfortunately, the most difficult thing was that Xuan Yi no longer had any divine source that he could use for cultivation.
All the divine sources, including the ones given by the characters, the divine sources that Bing Yu had plundered, and the divine sources that he had obtained from the immemorial battlefield...
The sources had been completely used by Xuan Yi.
As the saying goes, a wise woman can not make a meal without rice. Even if Xuan Yi had the power to reach the heavens, he would not be able to break through without the medium.
There was a total of 150,000 gram of divine essence.
In just three months, it had been completely consumed by Xuan Yi.
Moreover, he had not broken through to the Heavenly King realm yet.
This made Xuan Yi feel a little troubled.
Should he continue to persevere, or should he just give up and break through to the Heavenly King Realm like Bing Yu?
After thinking for a moment, he decided that it would be better to wait until he reached his limit and could no longer advance any further.
If that was the case, both the upper and lower limits would be much higher.
Just as Xuan Yi was agonizing over where to find the remaining divine essence...
Jian Chen"s aura gradually approached outside the hall. Xuan Yi nodded and said.
"Come in."
"Yes, Master!"
Jian Chen pushed the door open and walked in. He said, "Master, the people outside the door have been dealt with, but there is still the matter of the divine emperor token."
"Divine emperor token?" asked Xuan Yi who stared at Jian Chen with some confusion.
"It"s about the South Province grand compet.i.tion. The Three Heavenly Kings have invited you to the original realm."
A long time ago, Heavenly King Zhang had told Xuan Yi about the South Province grand compet.i.tion.
During the Great War of the endless sea, one of the original four divine emperors had fallen, while the other three had been injured, either lightly or severely.
One had almost fully recovered, but the severely injured one"s spiritual pedestal had already been damaged.
In addition to his lifespan, one could already see the end of it.
This time, it was the other party who had invited Xuan Yi over.
In contrast to the other two divine emperors, this three-hearted Divine Emperor did not have any children and had a strange personality.
He did not take in any disciples, nor did he establish a sect.
The three-hearted divine emperor relied on the three-one divine art he created, which was comparable to emperor realm cultivation techniques. His strength was extraordinary.
He could be said to be the Divine Emperor with the strongest sword dao in the south continent.
He already had the standard of four layers of sword intent. However, compared to Xuan Yi, he was far inferior.
The three-hearted divine emperor had only managed to comprehend these four sword intents after experiencing a life and death tribulation.
Nevertheless, he did not have a successor. This difficult-to-reach realm was going to disappear regrettably.
Even if he was reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
After learning how powerful Xuan Yi was, he specially invited Xuan Yi over.
He had seen Xuan Yi make a move before. The peak of five sword intents was far from what he could compare to.
The three-hearted divine emperor even had some thoughts of asking Xuan Yi for advice.
Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I will go."
Seeing that Jian Chen seemed a little off, Xuan Yi asked with concern.
"Jian Chen, what happened? Are you puzzled about the way of the sword?"
Jian Chen shook his head with a wry smile. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he held it back.
Xuan Yi frowned. He had always been a straightforward person, and most of his disciples were like this.
But who was Jian Chen Now?
Seeing that Xuan Yi was somewhat dissatisfied, he could only explain with a bitter smile.
"Master, it"s like this. Do you still remember my previous teacher, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sword Sect?"
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment and recalled the time when he was in the Azure region.
There were also people from the vast heaven sword sect. It must have been a long time ago.
Time seemed to pa.s.s by very quickly.
"It"s like this. Just now, I received news from them. He was seriously injured and his life was in danger, so I wanted to go and see him."
After all, he was his first teacher. It was normal for him to want to see the other party.
Since Jian Chen was now Xuan Yi"s disciple, it would be better to ask for Xuan Yi"s permission if he wanted to go.
He looked at Xuan Yi fearfully as his eyes rolled around.
Xuan Yi could not help but find it funny. He patted Jian Chen"s shoulder and said, "Don"t worry. This is what you should do. I Won"t blame you."
In Xuan Yi"s opinion, this was what he should do.
After all, Jian Chen was a transmigrator and a person who had done him a favor. His life was in danger. wasn"t it only right for him to go back and take a look?
Xuan Yi was still wise man. He would certainly allow Jian Chen to visit his previous teacher.
That would certainly not const.i.tute a betrayal.
