“Your Excellency, Palace Master …”

Zi Yuan walked in from the outside, looked at Hua Weiyang, and walked to Xiao Chen’s side. He whispered a few words in his ear. Seeing her mysterious appearance, Hua Weiyang frowned slightly, “Zi Yuan, is there something I can’t hear?”

“Ah …”

Zi Yuan raised his head and didn’t know what to say to her. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. “There’s something wrong with Four Daoists. Let me go over. Wei Yang, you have a good rest here.”

After saying that, the two of them went outside. Along the way, Xiao Chen’s expression was solemn, and Zi Yuan was also silent. When the two of them arrived outside a secret hall, they saw four people guarding Celestial Pogoda.

When the four saw the two of them arrive, they immediately greeted them respectfully, “Childe Xiao, Miss Zi Yuan.”

“Mm …”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked inside the secret hall. “Is Four Daoists inside?” He asked.

“Four Daoists has been waiting in the hall for a long time. Please follow me, Childe.” A person on the left stretched out his hand and waved an invitation. Xiao Chen turned to Zi Yuan and said, “You should be outside.”

“Alright.”

Zi Yuan nodded her head lightly. Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. She followed the person on the left into the secret hall. There were layers of restrictions and layers of barriers that isolated her divine sense. Even if the people outside had Quasi-Sage cultivation, they wouldn’t be able to peek inside.

After passing through several corridors, they arrived at a dimly lit secret room. In a faint room, they saw Four Daoists inside. Seeing him coming, the four of them immediately stood up from the stone stool and said, “Little friend Xiao, you’re coming.”

“Four Daoists.”

Xiao Chen slightly cupped his hands and walked into the secret room. The person behind him immediately closed the stone door and left.

Inside the secret room, the four of them had deep worries on their faces, and to this day, the injuries on their bodies had yet to fully recover.

True Master Taiwu said, “I presume Little friend Xiao has heard about what happened in the Eastern Region in the past few days” As he spoke, the other three frowned deeply. Obviously, due to the recent events, the four of them were extremely worried.

“I roughly heard it.”

Xiao Chen looked at the four of them. Although he had spent most of these days guarding Wei Yang’s side, he knew what was happening outside. The entire Eastern Region was already in turmoil. There were even many sects that were destroyed by Xuanxiao Palace. Countless souls were taken away by True Monarch Xuanxiao and used to sacrifice the Blood Soul Refining Banner.

In just a few days, the entire Eastern Region seemed to be facing a catastrophe. Many people had already rushed to Heavenly Peak City to seek the protection of Celestial Pogoda, Divine Martial Palace, and the Profound Frost Pavilion.

The chaotic situation in front of him seemed like True Monarch Xuanxiao was the source of this calamity, but in reality, behind this entire incident, how could it be as simple as everyone had seen?

“Four Seas and Eight Desolates …”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said these four words. After listening to them, Four Daoists fell into deep thought. After a while, Lonely Lamp Zhen raised his head and said, “Little friend Xiao, you can see it too …”

“Ever since the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was shattered, they have never stopped coveting the Ancient Land of Xianyuan.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently. At this moment, he remembered the “East Continent Chaos” on the East Continent and the Xianyuan Five Realms Righteous Demon Chaos more than 300 years ago. It was as if someone was manipulating everything from behind.

“Sigh …”

Daoist Withered Wood sighed softly and stroked his white beard, saying, “No matter what, the most urgent matter is to solve the problem before us …”

He paused for a moment before turning to look at Xiao Chen and continuing, “I believe that day, Little friend Xiao saw that Xuan Xiao had already entered the Devil Realm, and now he is one with the Blood Demon. If the Blood Demon completely awakens and fuses with him, then … Ai! Not only Celestial Pogoda, but the entire Eastern Region will inevitably suffer a life and death disaster …”

Daoist Taiwu and Daoist Gudeng frowned deeply. If that happened, even those who had entered the Saint realm might not be able to control True Monarch Xuanxiao after he merged with the Blood Demon.

Xiao Chen looked at the four people and said, “No matter what, we have to stop him from fusing with the Blood Demon. We have to seize the opportunity first, and we can’t wait for him to come to Heavenly Peak City. Once he arrives at Heavenly Peak City, that means he has successfully fused with the Blood Demon. At that time, it’s already too late for anyone to stop him.”

“That’s right.”

Daoist Taiwu stroked his white beard and said, “Little friend Xiao’s thoughts are the same as the four of us. No matter what, we cannot sit idly by and wait for death. If he arrives at Tianfeng City, it will be too late. Therefore, we must take the initiative to attack and go to Xuanxiao Palace …”

Xiao Chen said, “But Four Daoists saw that day. Not only did this person have the help of Ghost Cloud Mountain, but … his Eight Desolate Strength had not completely erupted that day. If it had completely erupted, with Xiao’s current cultivation … it would probably be difficult to resist.”

“That’s why the four of us came to Little friend Xiao today.”

Daoist Taiwu stroked his white beard and looked at the other three. After exchanging glances, they nodded their heads.

At this moment, Lonely Lamp said, “Little friend Xiao, do you still remember that when you came to Celestial Pogoda, you ascended to the 36th level of the Earthly Word Realm?”

“Of course I remember.”

Xiao Chen nodded. He still remembered that back then, in order to see Daoist Gudeng, he had climbed up to the 36th floor of Celestial Pogoda and squeezed Qin E down. It was precisely because of this that the two of them had a conflict.

“Mm …”

Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly and continued, “Celestial Pogoda has a total of 9981 floors. The lowest 27 floors are at the Herringbone Realm, the middle 27 floors are at the Earth Realm, and the upper 27 floors are at the Heaven Realm …”

He paused for a moment before looking at Xiao Chen and continuing, “Little friend Xiao already knows that in order to suppress the nameless devil, three seniors went to the Profound Realm a thousand years ago and never heard from him again. However, there is something that Little friend Xiao might not know yet …”

“Oh?”

Xiao Chen looked at him and asked, “May I know what Senior Lonely Lamp said?”

The four of them exchanged glances. Daoist Taiwu said again, “Actually, more than 600 years ago, there was also a peerless senior in Celestial Pogoda. His name was’ Yiye Qing ‘. More than 600 years ago, he also went to the Profound Realm. However, before he left, he left something on the 81st floor of Celestial Pogoda and gave an order. In the future, if there was a crisis, he could let someone ascend to the 81st floor and retrieve what he left behind …”

After hearing what he said, Xiao Chen focused and said, “So, Four Daoists is planning to let Xiao go to the 81st floor of Celestial Pogoda to retrieve what Senior Yiye Qing left behind back then?”

“That’s right … The four of us discussed it all night. That’s exactly what we meant.”

Daoist Taiwu nodded. After saying that, a trace of shame flashed across his face. He continued, “I’m ashamed to say that … with the cultivation of the four of us, we are unable to reach the eighty-first floor.”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed slightly. “Even Four Daoists can’t ascend to the eighty-first floor?”

Daoist Gudeng said, “In the past thousand years, apart from Senior Yiye Qing, no one has ever ascended the eighty-first floor.”

“I see …”

Xiao Chen roughly understood. That senior called Yiye Qing had placed something in such a difficult place. There must be something profound about it. However …

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the four people in front of him, saying, “In the past thousand years, no one has been able to go up to the 81st floor of Celestial Pogoda. Why does Four Daoists think that someone Xiao can go up?”

“This …”

The four looked at each other again and turned around. True Master Taiwu said, “If you can’t even go up to Little friend Xiao, then who else does Little friend Xiao think you can go up to?”

At this moment, the entire secret hall was silent. Four Daoists watched him remain motionless, while Xiao Chen remained silent. For some reason, the person in his mind was actually Xiao Meng’er.

Daoist Taiwu sighed softly and said, “Right now, it’s not just Celestial Pogoda’s life and death. It’s the safety of the entire Eastern Region, Little friend Xiao. But I understand that no one else can deal with True Monarch Xuanxiao except you.”

Xiao Chen slowly raised his head. At this moment, he remembered what Xiao Cangtian had said to him when he had founded the Wu Yu Heaven: “In the future, how powerful your arms will be, then how much responsibility will you shoulder …”

“I see.”

Xiao Chen looked at the four people in front of him and his gaze gradually focused. He was no longer the disciple of Xuan Qing back then. He was … the master of Lustless Heaven.
