"Mm!?"
Faced with Ye Xuan's confidence, the head revealed a look of surprise.
It was indeed not a dragon, but an ancient demon that had just shed its skin and transformed into a Flood Dragon not long ago.
But this person could see through its identity!?
"Heh heh, you humans are quite confident, but even if you possess Lightning Sword Intent, your cultivation is only at the Spirit Sea Realm!"
"With you, you want to slay a dragon!?"
Buzz!
Before its words could fade, its Flood Dragon body suddenly shot out from the giant pillar, its bloody maw opening as if to swallow Ye Xuan in one bite!
"You really want to die!"
Ye Xuan sneered. Now that there were no outsiders in the hall, he didn't need to hide anything.
In the next moment, he directly spread his arms, and the aura of the Nine Thunder Tribulation Weather was wantonly released and burst forth.
Although his talent had only initially recovered, there was still lightning breaking through his body, and his aura soared!
His Lightning Sword Intent even climbed to the extreme, causing the crimson longsword in his hand to be bathed in lightning!
The power of the hidden Imperial Clan Emperor's blood was even more hidden within.
He only needed one sword to slay the Flood Dragon!
"Your Honor, spare me!"
But just as Ye Xuan was about to swing his sword, the Flood Dragon fell directly from the air with a thud, its head on the ground, begging for mercy in a mournful voice.
Mm!?
This confused Ye Xuan.
"Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"
Ye Xuan frowned, but the aura on his body didn't weaken at all.
This Flood Dragon's intelligence wasn't low.
"Your Honor, you didn't say you possessed Emperor's blood!"
But at this time, only clear timidity and flattery remained in the Flood Dragon's eyes.
"Emperor's blood!?"
Ye Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank. Not many people in this realm knew about his Imperial Clan identity.
How did this little Flood Dragon know!?
"Hehe, you little bug are quite smart!"
At this moment, a glowing little man appeared outside Ye Xuan's body.
After looking up and down at the Flood Dragon, it said, "Tsk tsk, I was wondering why you haven't died after being trapped here for who knows how many years. I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Undying Ancestral Dragon!"
"Undying Ancestral Dragon!?"
Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you saying, the Undying Ancestral Dragon, one of the five great Ancestral Dragons of ancient times!?"
That was one of the five strongest dragon clans in the myriad worlds.
"But it's a Flood Dragon..."
But he really couldn't figure out what relationship this Flood Dragon had with the Ancestral Dragon.
"Hey? That's why I said, it only possesses a trace of Ancestral Dragon blood!"
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be trapped here!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you were born in this hall not long ago, right?" The small tower looked at the Flood Dragon.
"Answering your honor, that's right, I just hatched not long ago, but, am I a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon?"
Obviously, the Flood Dragon itself didn't know its identity.
"It adds up!" The small tower nodded, and looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Even if it only possesses a trace of the Undying Ancestral Dragon's blood, it would still take ten thousand years to hatch!"
"Calculate the time, it's about right!"
"It should have been put in here by the owner of this Sword Hall ten thousand years ago."
"I see!" Ye Xuan nodded, which made sense. "In that case, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"
Possessing Ancestral Dragon blood, even if it was only a trace, it would be a pity to kill it.
Moreover, this little dragon didn't seem to be a complete idiot.
"Willing, of course I'm willing!"
As the little dragon spoke, it directly spat out a drop of essence blood and offered it up.
Now, it only wanted to save its life and leave this damned place.
Ye Xuan accepted the essence blood, set up a master-servant mark, and then had it transform into the size of a finger and wrap around his arm.
Then, he came to the mysterious bronze ancient coffin.
This was the only thing in the Sword Hall besides the small dragon.
The Sword Intent he had sensed before also came from within!
However, when Ye Xuan arrived in front of the ancient coffin, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Immediately, he raised the long sword in his hand and slashed down with all his strength!
Clang!
But this sword only produced sparks and didn't even leave a trace on the coffin.
You must know that his sword could cut even heavenly-grade materials!
"Hmm!? Interesting. This coffin's material actually contains Qingchen Star Sand!?" The small tower frowned.
"Well, Quasi-Emperor-level material. Although there's only a little bit, it's not something I can cut open right now," Ye Xuan shook his head. "I need to find a way."
But Ye Xuan walked around the coffin several times and found that there were no patterns on the coffin, not even a single crack!
There were also no formations or restrictions!
How could he open it!?
This was the only opportunity in the secret realm. Ye Xuan wouldn't be willing to give up just like that!
"The only difference with this coffin is that it releases Sword Intent..."
Ye Xuan leaned against the coffin and thought for a long time. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. Then, he placed the long sword on the coffin and pushed his Sword Dao attainments to the extreme.
Buzz!
In an instant, dense Sword Dao lightning arcs manifested and roamed over the bronze coffin.
What made Ye Xuan's eyes light up was that as the lightning arcs roamed, the Emperor Seal he had seen before actually appeared on the bronze coffin lid!
So, the key to opening the coffin was the Emperor Seal!
Ye Xuan quickly used lightning arcs to engrave the Emperor Seal on the coffin.
The Emperor Seal seemed simple, but it was actually extremely difficult to comprehend. Even though this Emperor Seal was incomplete, it was by no means easy to imitate.
But Ye Xuan had observed the Emperor Seal in the Emperor Hall after all, so simple imitation was not difficult.
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan, whose face was pale, put away his divine sense.
At this time, although Ye Xuan had exhausted his strength, the Emperor Seal had been imitated.
Buzz!
Sure enough, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the bronze ancient coffin cracked open a gap and slowly opened.
A powerful and domineering Sword Intent, along with rich spiritual energy, erupted from the coffin.
"High-grade Spirit Marrow Milk?"
What made Ye Xuan frown was that inside the coffin was a whole coffin of white Spirit Marrow Milk.
Although the quantity was more and purer than what he had obtained in the altar before, it was hardly an opportunity.
Moreover, the Sword Intent couldn't have been released by this Spirit Marrow Milk.
Immediately, Ye Xuan reached his hand into the Spirit Marrow Milk and groped in it. The next moment, he touched something, and his expression changed slightly.
It didn't seem to be the bones of an ancient cultivator.
But rather...
When he fished out that thing, even the small tower was stunned: "This is, a sword hilt!?"
In this coffin, besides the Spirit Marrow Milk, there was only this sword hilt.
The sword hilt was ancient and broken, and the sword body had disappeared, but at the end, he could still see an Emperor Seal!
The degree of completeness was higher than on the small sword.
"This should be the sword that the ancient Emperor used!"
"This tomb was actually built for the sword hilt!" The small tower smiled, also a little disappointed.
"It is a good thing."
But Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. The material of this sword hilt was very special, something he had never seen before.
Moreover, even if there was nothing else, this Emperor Seal could be considered a harvest.
He also believed that there was definitely more than one tomb of this mysterious ancient Emperor. This sword hilt must have great use!
Immediately, he put away the sword hilt. He originally wanted to take this mysterious bronze coffin away as well, but he found that the coffin was extremely heavy and could not be put into the storage ring, so he had to give up.
Then, Ye Xuan jumped directly into the coffin and began to absorb the pure Spirit Marrow Milk inside.
This secret realm was a good place, and he wouldn't be disturbed, so he might as well cultivate here.
Outside the secret realm, Nangong Fei and the other two who had escaped waited for a few days before leaving.
After all, too many people had died in this secret realm, which would inevitably cause turmoil in the Barren Continent, so it was not advisable to stay for long.
A few more days passed, and the city lord of the Southern Region, along with experts from various first-rate Sects, descended upon the valley, but they failed to discover the entrance to the secret realm. After a fruitless search, they left.
Thus, with four days remaining until the Sect Assembly, inside the secret realm, Ye Xuan opened his eyes from within the small tower.
Buzz!
In that instant, lightning flashed in his eyes, and a powerful aura swept in all directions.
"Hehe, this trip to the secret realm wasn't a waste after all. My cultivation has finally reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm!"
The small tower said with a cheeky laugh, "Finally, you can start dual cultivation with your wife!"
These words immediately made Ye Xuan's face flush red. The image of Chu Wan'er's delicate, flower-like face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a pang of longing.
It's been so long since I left. Wan'er must miss me too.
With less than four days left until the Sect Assembly, it was time for him to return.
Immediately, Ye Xuan left the Sword Palace, controlled the secret realm's restrictions, and appeared within the valley.
Many powerful auras still lingered in this place, but Ye Xuan sneered. He had already gained control of the formation core within the secret realm. No one could ever hope to find the real entrance again!
One day later, Ye Xuan returned to the Violet Firmament Sect.
Upon learning of Ye Xuan's return, Su Ziyun, who had been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, was overjoyed and headed straight for Saintess Peak.
Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er, the two of them, had been completely out of contact, nearly driving her to death with worry!
"What!?"
"Wan'er isn't in the forbidden area, but went to Tianxuan City to challenge the tower!?"
Hearing that Chu Wan'er had left the Sect long ago, Ye Xuan was also shocked.
"That's right. Because you didn't come back either, I couldn't leave!"
Su Ziyun now felt very guilty. Had she known this would happen, she would have stopped Wan'er no matter what.
"In that case, we must go to Tianxuan City immediately!"
Ye Xuan knew that with Wan'er's personality, the Sect Master wouldn't be able to stop her.
Since Chu Wan'er hadn't returned, she must be trapped in the Hundred Refinements Tower!
He couldn't wait even a moment longer!
