#465 - Bone Pearl
Jun Wuxie finally understood the reason why the Xuanyuan Clan did not concern themselves with worldly affairs.
The white-haired elder said with difficulty, "Young friend, our clan has lived in seclusion for countless ages, and our people are long accustomed to this kind of life and are resistant to emerging into the world. We are afraid we are unable to fulfill your request."
Jun Wuxie smiled calmly, "Since that's the case, then I am also unable to help with the Xuanyuan Sword. Back then, Emperor Xuanyuan unified the Eastern Wilderness, and the Great Emperor must have wanted to establish a peaceful and prosperous world. Now, let those people from the Ancient Phoenix Sect seize the things he left behind."
The faces of the Xuanyuan Clan members changed slightly.
The white-haired elder sighed, "Young friend, you can make other requests, and we will try our best to satisfy them. The Xuanyuan Sword has immense power, and if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable! That is the most important thing left behind by our ancestor, the Great Emperor, how can we let those forces from the Ancient Phoenix Sect defile it."
"The Xuanyuan Sword is very important to you, and Great Zhou is very important to me. You only want me to protect what you care about, but you are unwilling to protect what I care about, is that possible?"
"We have our difficulties. We can agree to other things besides this!"
The white-haired elder said.
Jun Wuxie shook his head and said, "If Emperor Xuanyuan knew that his descendants not only watched his dynasty, which he established, fall apart, but also, after countless ages, were unwilling to protect even the last spark of hope, I wonder what he would think. I don't know why you must seek the traces of the Great Emperor. The predecessors have their own path to walk, and the descendants have their own things to do, isn't that so?"
"Young friend, this old man does not understand why you insist that my Xuanyuan Clan come out of the mountains to oversee Great Zhou. The current Great Zhou is just a mortal kingdom. After the secret realm matter is over, those great forces probably won't be interested in coming to this city again, so where does the threat come from?"
"Senior is right, the current Great Zhou is indeed a mortal country, but that doesn't mean it will always be. I plan to gradually upgrade Great Zhou into a dynasty of the cultivation world, to become the center of the world!"
As soon as these words came out, the six members of the Xuanyuan Clan all looked at him with disbelief.
Ji Liufeng was even more stunned, his brain short-circuited.
"Your Majesty, I just established the plan and haven't had time to discuss it with you in detail."
Jun Wuxie looked at the dazed Ji Liufeng.
Ji Liufeng came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "You can make the decisions regarding Great Zhou. To be honest, in the current situation, I, as the ruler, am unable to support it at all. The survival of the entire Great Zhou depends on you. As long as you make any decision, I will support you unconditionally. If there is anything you need me to do, Wuxie, just tell me."
His words revealed too much information.
He referred to himself as 'I' instead of 'We', and said words like 'unconditional support' and 'just tell me'.
Ji Liufeng had completely placed himself in a subordinate position.
He knew very well that the current Great Zhou was no longer his Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou of all the people, and also the Great Zhou that could not be separated from Jun Wuxie.
The entire country had become the target of many great forces.
He, the ruler, sounded good to be above all others, but in the eyes of those great forces, he was not even as good as an ant.
"Young friend, do you know how many resources it takes and what kind of basic support is needed to turn a mortal country into a dynasty of the cultivation world? Even a dominant force like the Holy Gate can hardly do it."
"The Holy Gate is the Holy Gate, and I am me. Whether it will succeed or not, your Xuanyuan Clan shouldn't be interested, right? I only have one request, it won't change. Seniors, please consider carefully whether you agree or not."
The white-haired elder was silent.
He looked at his fellow clansmen.
The six of them seemed to be communicating secretly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the elder sighed helplessly.
"We can agree to your request, young friend, but you must bring the Xuanyuan Sword to us, otherwise we will not be able to fulfill our promise!"
"That's natural. I will do my best to personally deliver the Xuanyuan Sword to you! However, there is one thing I must make clear. Guarding Great Zhou is not something that can be dealt with by sending a semi-sage to cope with it. Your Xuanyuan Clan must guarantee that Great Zhou will not be invaded by powerful enemies for many years to come! And our enemies include the Ancient Phoenix Sect, the Soul Hunting Hall, the Golden Ancient City, the Heavenly Purity Sect, and so on."
"Of course, as long as you bring back the Xuanyuan Sword, we will also try our best to fulfill your request perfectly." The white-haired elder said here, pondered slightly, and said: "However, we need to add a time limit. We will guard Great Zhou for a maximum of a thousand years. After a thousand years, will you return our freedom, young friend?"
A thousand years?
Jun Wuxie didn't even dare to think about it!
Of course, he agreed very happily.
This also made him understand how important the Xuanyuan Sword was to the Xuanyuan Clan.
"Then we have reached an agreement. When the sword returns, our Xuanyuan Clan will move out of the mountains as a clan and relocate to this city to fulfill our promise!"
"Good! It's settled!" Jun Wuxie tentatively said, "Senior, can you tell me, in the Xuanyuan Clan..."
"Haha, young friend, don't worry, for the sake of the Xuanyuan Sword, this old man can make the decision on his own."
At this time, a middle-aged man from the Xuanyuan Clan smiled and said, "Young friend, this is our clan's Great Elder, a semi-sage powerhouse."
Jun Wuxie's pupils suddenly shrank.
No wonder he gave him a feeling as deep as the sea, which was obviously stronger than the peak Sacred Lords of forces such as the Ancient Phoenix Sect.
He really was a semi-sage!
How strong was the Xuanyuan Clan's strength? They could just casually send out a semi-sage?
"Young friend, since we have reached a mutual assistance agreement, and you want to develop Great Zhou, there are some things this old man must tell you. It is by no means easy to develop Great Zhou. My ancestor, the Great Emperor, captured a spiritual energy dragon vein and sealed it in the secret realm. If you can obtain the dragon vein, Great Zhou will have the first foundation for future development."
Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
There was actually a dragon vein in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm?
As everyone knows, all the great forces in the world have spiritual veins, and the level of spiritual veins varies.
The dragon vein is the spiritual vein that has evolved to the extreme peak of this world, and it can continuously derive spiritual energy.
The higher the level of the spiritual vein, the purer the spiritual energy will be.
If he could obtain this dragon vein, then all the areas within its coverage would become spiritual soil.
At that time, the spiritual seeds he purchased could play a role!
The massive basic resources that Great Zhou will need in the future can be self-sufficient, and there will even be a large surplus!
"Senior, what kind of treasures are there in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm?"
The white-haired elder said, "Besides the Xuanyuan Sword and the dragon vein, what we know should only be the Spirit Orb, and we don't know much about the others."
"What Spirit Orb?"
"Its full name is Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb. It is born from the essence of heaven and earth. The level and effect of different Spirit Orbs are different. It can be embedded in the human spine to enhance the strength of the body and exert the characteristics of the Spirit Orb. It can be taken out at any time, and it can be integrated and replaced at any time."
Jun Wuxie looked surprised.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing!
Embedding the treasure orb into the spinal bone to exert the effect of the treasure orb in this way?
Then, the spine is equivalent to the carrier, and the Spirit Orb is the source of energy?
The white-haired elder said, "There are twenty-six sections in the human spine, which can hide twenty-six Spirit Orbs. If you embed Spirit Orbs of the same grade and effect, the effect can be superimposed, but the more the number of superpositions, the weaker the superposition effect will be."
"The Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb contains natural runes and generates the text of laws. Those who practice pupil techniques only need to open their pupil techniques to check to know the origin and specific effect of the Spirit Orb."
"In the Xuanyuan Secret Realm, there should be several Bone-Hiding Spirit Orbs of extremely high grade. It would be best if you could obtain them, young friend, otherwise, if the Spirit Orb falls into the hands of others, it may pose a considerable threat to you."
"Thank you, senior, for telling me this important information."
Jun Wuxie's heart was very uneasy, and he was full of expectations for this trip to the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.
Not to mention other things, just what the Xuanyuan Great Elder said was already a huge temptation.
With the matter settled, they left the palace together.
When they returned to the front of the bronze palace, the runes on the five-colored altar had already begun to emit a little bit of light.
Obviously, the passage to enter was slowly opening.
At this moment, the closest to the bronze palace were no longer the Sacred Lords of the major forces, but the disciples who were about to enter the secret realm to compete for opportunities.
A glance over.
Each force sent three to five people, including holy sons, holy virgins, and outstanding talents.
The eyes of these young men and women were focused on him.
There were five people on the Ancient Phoenix Sect's side.
Four talents, one young master level.
The young master had his hands behind his back, and his crimson hair was scattered behind his head and on both sides like a fiery waterfall.
His eyes were very deep, and flames were burning in his pupils. A phoenix was bathing in fire, flashing from time to time.
Sovereign King Realm Sixth Transformation, Myriad World King Third Level!
This is a very powerful person!
There were also five people on the Soul Hunting Hall's side.
One soul son, one soul daughter, and three talented soul hunters.
Jun Wuxie was only interested in the level of holy sons and holy virgins.
The soul son's entire body was completely shrouded in a black robe, and even his eyes were covered with special goggles.
Jun Wuxie even suspected that the guy was blind.
His realm was extremely high, the peak of the Sovereign King, the second level of the Myriad World King!
The soul daughter's realm was slightly lower, the ninth transformation of the Sovereign King, and her talent strength was also the second level of the Myriad World King.
The young master-level powerhouse of the Golden Ancient City was wearing a shining golden armor, like a golden armored war god.
His eyes were like metal casting, like two golden suns.
Sovereign King Realm Sixth Transformation, Myriad World King Third Level!
Heavenly Purity Sect, a son of Heavenly Purity, plus two talents.
The son of Heavenly Purity was eight feet tall, extremely handsome, and had a pure and flawless temperament. Standing there, he made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and even the air seemed to become fresher.
Many female cultivators from various forces, even many proud daughters of heaven, looked at the Son of Heaven's Purity with a hint of infatuation and admiration.
His strength was even greater than the previous few!
Peak of the Sovereign King Realm, Fifth Level of Myriad Ages King!
Jun Wuxie felt a slight chill in his heart.
Indeed, the opponents he had encountered before were too weak.
Now, as the grand era unfolds, some peerless geniuses are beginning to emerge.
He continued to look at the other forces.
The Holy Son of the Holy Gate had arrived, and his realm had actually reached the peak of the Fifth Transformation of the Sovereign King!
He remembered seeing this person in the Dragon Ridge Mountains last time, but he was only at the Half-Step Sovereign King Realm.
Obviously, he had removed the suppression of his realm.
Years of accumulation had caused his realm to explode, reaching the Fifth Transformation as soon as he entered the Sovereign King Realm!
It was a pity that Nan Huang of the Yunling Nan Family did not come.
On the Xiao Family's side, a very ordinary-looking young man caught his attention.
He could not see through this person's realm and aptitude growth intensity.
His body seemed to be shrouded in mist, and he did not know what hidden treasure he possessed.
Some of the other forces' Holy Sons and Holy Daughters did not appear, but those sent were not true disciples, but secretly cultivated proud sons of heaven, all of whom were Sovereign Kings, with aptitude growth intensity around the mid-stage of the Ancient King level.
When Jun Wuxie's gaze fell on the Ice Cloud Tower's side,
he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The Ice Cloud Tower only had a maiden in her early twenties participating in this competition.
The maiden was tall and slender, exquisitely proportioned, with skin as delicate as ice and snow, radiating a jade-like luster, wearing a snow-white ice silkworm dress, very textured, fluttering in the wind.
Her black hair was like ink, and she carried a sword on her back, the scabbard engraved with ice-blue frost flowers, her clear and cold eyes, as clear and transparent as ice and snow.
Perfect facial features, coupled with a special temperament.
Jun Wuxie looked at her and couldn't help but think of Mu Xue Lan.
Today, she still hadn't come, he didn't know why.
This woman's realm was not as outstanding as other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, Fifth Transformation of the Sovereign King Realm, but her aptitude growth intensity had reached an astonishing Third Level of the Myriad Ages King!
"Divine Body?"
Under the Primordial True Eyes, he saw a faint trace of divinity in her bloodline.
This Holy Maiden of the Ice Cloud Tower actually possessed a Divine Body!
It was just that the awakening degree of the divine bloodline was not very high, otherwise the aptitude growth intensity would have to be even higher.
