<h4>Chapter 1501: Ancient Azure Dragon Pce</h4>


    After Xiao Chen entered the pce doors and took two steps, he turned his head back but could no longer see the scene outside .


    The space inside the pce seemed to form its own world, separate from the outside world .


    The first floor of the Azure Dragon Pce was unchanged, looking exactly the same as on his previous visit .


    Although Xiao Chen could not understand why Chu Chaoyun would help him deal with the most difficult step, since he was safely here already, there was no point in thinking too much .


    He crossed the distance of three steps with every two steps, quickly moving towards the formation that sealed the Heavenly me’s Origin me . The formation that wasid using the Deity Race Martial Emperors’ blood was still there .


    The Heavenly me’s Origin me is still here .


    Xiao Chen rxed slightly . However, after a while, his expression suddenly changed radically .


    The transparent crystal at the core of the formation was empty . The Heavenly me’s Origin me that had been inside was missing .


    “What’s going on? Why is the Heavenly me’s Origin me gone?”


    Shocked, the normally calm Xiao Chen could not help shouting .


    “Whoosh!”


    An old man appeared in front silently . When Xiao Chen raised his head to take a look, he saw that it was the Azure Dragon Pce’s Item Spirit . He immediately asked, “Where is the Heavenly me’s Origin me?”


    The ck-d old man smiled faintly and pacified Xiao Chen . “Calm down first . Don’t panic . I’ll tell you everything in detail . ”


    “How is he to remain calm? My master is here specially for the Heavenly me’s Origin me,” Ao Jiao said with a fierce scowl after she came out of the Lunar Shadow Saber .


    When the old man saw Ao Jiao, his eyes lit up, and he showed a warm smile . “So, it is you . Lass, you really should thank me for the opportunity that you got . Don’t be so fierce to the elderly . ”


    “Humph! Who would thank you? You were very fierce to me the previous time, flicking me away with one finger . ”


    Ao Jiao was rather vengeful, still remembering the grudge from back then .


    By now, Xiao Chen had already calmed down . He stopped Ao Jiao and performed a cupped-fist salute to the ck-d old man . “This junior forgot himself earlier . I hope that Senior will not mind . I only want to know where the Heavenly me’s Origin me is .


    When the ck-d old man saw that Xiao Chen was calm, he nodded slightly and said, “Don’t worry . The Heavenly me’s Origin me is still here . I just put it away . ”


    “Why?”


    “One year ago, someone barged into the Azure Dragon Pce without fear of the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation . The Heavenly me’s Origin me turned uncontroble and nearly flew out . ”


    “It’s him!”


    After the ck-d old man exined, Xiao Chen immediately understood . To think that Chu Chaoyun did something so crazy one year ago!


    It looked like Chu Chaoyun’s desire for the Heavenly me’s Origin me was far stronger than what he showed, which was a calm indifference .


    “Who?” the ck-d old man asked, feeling confused .


    Xiao Chen quickly exined Chu Chaoyun’s identity and history in detail to the old man . After the ck-d old man heard that, he showed an expression of sudden understanding .


    “So, it is the Tianwu Emperor’s descendant . In that case, you have to be careful . Ten thousand years is a cycle . Now, ten thousand years is almost up . Do not ever lose to him . ”


    Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes . “Old sir, I have a question, what does ten thousand years being one cycle mean?”


    Chu Chaoyun had said the same thing in the future that Xiao Chen saw when he merged the seven thrones .


    Xiao Chen was very curious about what ten thousand years being one cycle meant .


    “Before the first Tianwu Emperor departed the Kunlun Realm, he left behind a divine item . Every ten thousand years, this divine item would surface . Refining it will allow one to directly leave this abandonednd . ”


    When Xiao Chen heard that, he was startled . “The first Tianwu Emperor is that incredible?”


    The ck-d old man smiled and said, “Of course, he is not from the Kunlun Realm in the first ce,ing from the outer realm . Ten thousand years ago, the divine item surfaced in the Sky Dome Realm . Thest Tianwu Emperor was preparing to refine this divine item when the Azure Emperor found out about it . ”


    “Then, the Azure Emperor could not resist the temptation and killed him?”


    Xiao Chen felt excited . He had heard many stories regarding these two; rumor had it that these two were originally good friends .


    In the end, for some reason, a huge battle urred involving the two . Finally, the Tianwu Emperor lost and died .


    The ck-d old man smiled and said, “How could that be? The Azure Emperor killed him because thest Tianwu Emperor was too ambitious . He wanted to refine the three thousand lower realms and swallow up the Kunlun Realm, as well as the Deep Abyss Demonic World . He wanted to use the divine item to absorb all the Luck of the entire abandonednd before leaving . ”


    It turned out that there was such a secret . Xiao Chen sank into deep thought and then asked, “Why the need to do that?”


    “Of course, it was to make his Luck flourish, so that even after leaving the abandonednd, he would be able to rise up and reach the peak again .


    “There is a much vaster world outside, full of infinite possibilities . ”


    So, that was the case . If thest Tianwu Emperor had managed to absorb all the Luck of the abandonednd, then the abandonednd would have turned into rubble .


    The Azure Emperor was not as unreasonable as rumor imed .


    Xiao Chen said, “Very well, back to the proper business . Pass the Heavenly me to me . I have need of it . ”


    The ck-d old man shook his head and said, “I cannot give it to you yet . You still have not received the acknowledgment of the Azure Dragon Pce and cannot take anything from this ce . ”


    Xiao Chen smiled bitterly . It was as he expected . Then, his gaze shifted to the entrance to the second floor .


    “How can I obtain the Azure Dragon Pce’s acknowledgment?”


    The ck-d old man revealed an embarrassed expression . “I’m not very sure myself . ”


    “That can’t be! Aren’t you the Azure Dragon Pce’s Item Spirit? How could you not know that?” Ao Jiao eximed in shock .


    With a forced smile, the ck-d old man exined, “Honestly speaking, I was previously the Azure Emperor’s servant . After I died, the Azure Emperor pitied me and fused my soul with his treasure saber, making me the Item Spirit of his saber . Before the Azure Emperor left, he begged for mercy for me, which allowed me to attach to this Azure Dragon Pce .


    “I’m not the Azure Dragon Pce’s core Item Spirit . This Azure Dragon Pce is even more ancient than you imagine . It contains many secrets; even the Azure Emperor could not figure them all out back then . ”


    These words made Xiao Chen’s expression turn grave . After hearing what the old man said, he looked around this Azure Dragon Pce again . Now, he sensed something new and strange that made him hesitate .


    The ck-d old man whispered, “Back then, you were too weak . Hence, I did not let you go to the second floor . I did not want you to get humiliated . The core Item Spirit of this Azure Dragon Pce has a bad temper and is extremely entric . ”


    “Old man, did you think I would not hear you just because you spoke softly? Since he has the bloodline of the Azure Dragon, I’ll naturally do things ording to the rules . Whether he can seed or not depends on his capabilities . Why would I go and humiliate him?”


    A resonant and dignified voice suddenly resounded in the vast Azure Dragon Pce . Its tone was extremely loud, imbued with strong majesty .


    Xiao Chen’s eardrums buzzed painfully . The Azure Dragon Martial Spirit in his body trembled as well .


    The ck-d old man smiled bitterly and said, “Let’s go . I’ll bring you to the second floor to meet Big Brother Dragon . That ce is the true inheritance area of the Azure Dragon Pce . ”


    Xiao Chen nodded and followed the ck-d old man, heading for the second floor with Ao Jiao .


    “Old Senior, I have a question . Back then, when the Azure Emperor returned to the Kunlun Realm, who dealt that fatal blow, which made him go to the Yellow Springs Road?”


    When the ck-d old man heard that, his footsteps paused for a moment, then he said, “That is ancient history . Why the need to figure it out so clearly? The Azure Emperor already forgave that person, so there is no need for you to get involved too . ”


    After saying that, the ck-d old man stopped speaking, clearly unwilling to dwell on that event .


    It looks like there are some other secrets behind this, Xiao Chen analyzed in his heart . However, this was not the time to pursue it . He had best obtain the Azure Dragon Pce’s inheritance first .


    I have no idea what’s going on outside with Big Brother Ying and the Spirit Fox King . I have to obtain the Azure Dragon Pce’s inheritance quickly .


    Xiao Chen had a bad feeling but could not make out what exactly it was . Back then, it was due to such a feeling that he rejected Ying Zongtian’s suggestion of inviting the Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean .


    While thinking that, Xiao Chen passed a set ofrge doors unawares, arriving on the second floor .


    The moment he raised his head, he discovered a pair of humongous azure eyes, brimming with boundless Dragon Might, ring at him .


    In the next moment, he realized that a gigantic dragon head was right before his nose .


    “Roar!”


    The dragon suddenly roared, and a vast baleful aura surged out .


    Xiao Chen could not withstand it and took a few steps back . However, he did not fall over . After he stabilized himself, his heart pounded endlessly .


    “Not bad, you have passed the first stage . You are qualified to take the test . ”
