Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 904 - 903: Spirit of Blood Qi

"It's so cold here!"

Passing through the bronze wall, Chu Ming arrived at a dim underground palace, while outside, at the moment Chu Ming passed through the bronze cliff, the disciples on the Nine Elements Dao Palace square were all in an uproar!

"How is it possible? His figure completely disappeared from the holographic projection?"

"Are you joking? In the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm, even Saint Dao experts can't block holographic projections, yet now, he actually blocked the holographic projection?"

"No, I think it's not him blocking the holographic projection, but rather the Sacred Artifact that blocked the holographic projection, and he entered the range of that Sacred Artifact, hence it also blocked him!"

"Do you think he might obtain that Sacred Artifact?"

"Impossible. Sacred Artifacts harness the Cosmic Sacred Power, each one a supreme treasure. Even in our Nine Elements Dao Palace, only a few outstanding Inner Palace Disciples are worthy of such a thing. He's merely a newcomer; how could he gain the acceptance of the Sacred Artifact?"

The Outer Palace Disciples on the square discussed fervently, aware in their hearts that this Sacred Artifact within the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm must have been intentionally placed there by the high-level figures of the palace, primarily as a test for the disciples. As for whether this Sacred Artifact would truly be subdued, it's likely these high-level figures of the Nine Elements Dao Palace hadn't even considered the question!

"Quite an interesting little fellow, hopefully, he can emerge alive!"

Yuan Bujing maintained a calm demeanor, but upon seeing Chu Ming pass through the bronze iron wall and enter the gloomy underground palace, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes. This Sacred Artifact in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm was far from benevolent, having stirred up countless bloody storms in the Celestial Net Star Realm, even wiping out several Fifth and Fourth Grade forces!

"Black Cat Girl's humor is quite good, but still falls short!"

Yuan Bujing's face remained undisturbed, yet in his heart, he was deeply concerned. In another hundred years, Jiu Xuan would probably be breaking through to the Divine Dao Realm, and if he couldn't find a genius to rival her, his position as Palace Master would come to an end!

He wasn't a lover of power, but if he fell, all the Elder Disciples of his faction would be implicated and oppressed, and perhaps many would lose their lives as a result!

He had already decided; if during this assessment a genius emerged who could rival Jiu Xuan, he would personally intervene, personally request the ancestor of their faction to take them as a disciple. But obviously, this hope was dashed!

In the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm, Black Cat Girl humor's cultivation had already broken through to the Emperor Dao Third Heaven. Yuan Bujing believed that even if the other nine of the top ten new talents combined, they would not be a match for Black Cat Girl's humor!

"Palace Master, my master is recently inclined to recruit another Direct Disciple. I think that Chu Ming is quite promising. Why not let him enter my master's lineage?"

Suddenly, Jiu Xuan turned and gently spoke to Yuan Bujing. Her eyes were deep as a pool, and no one could discern what she was truly thinking!

Upon hearing Jiu Xuan's words, Yuan Bujing felt a ripple within but did not respond. However, he inwardly pondered the peculiarities of Chu Ming. Jiu Xuan's master was one of the two strongest ancestors of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, with battle strength reaching the heavens and earth, and so far had only taken Jiu Xuan as a Direct Disciple. Now Jiu Xuan brought it up again, undoubtedly on a whim!

Though Jiu Xuan couldn't represent the intentions of that Black God ancestor, as long as Chu Ming had something extraordinary, coupled with Jiu Xuan's status in the heart of the Black God ancestor, it was indeed possible that the Black God ancestor might take Chu Ming as a Direct Disciple!

Yet, what exactly makes Chu Ming extraordinary?

Yuan Bujing pondered endlessly, although Chu Ming had good talent, being a Sealed Saint Level genius; he had seen countless Sealed Saint Level geniuses over the years, not to mention the Black God ancestor!

Chu Ming's Soul Power was strong, he had noticed long ago, but currently, Chu Ming's Emperor Dao Second Layer cultivation only possessed the Soul Power of Emperor Dao Eighth Layer. If right now, Chu Ming's Soul Power reached the Saint Dao Realm, that would certainly merit serious attention!

"Haha, Ninth Master Nephew, you know that accepting disciples is a major event in cultivation, let alone an ancestor taking on a disciple, that is even more crucial. All of this must wait until after the end of the new battle!"

Yuan Bujing chuckled lightly, regardless of what Jiu Xuan's motives were, he had only one word: delay!

...

"What are these things?"

In the dim underground palace, Chu Ming gazed around in confusion. Suspended in the air of the underground palace were numerous crimson spheres of energy, each containing a myriad of auras, malevolent, savage, slaughterous, and so on. Yet, apart from these negative emotions, they also bore abundant energy!

At a glance, there were a full three to four hundred such spheres in the underground palace, a massive number!

"These are Blood Qi Spirits!"

Without waiting for Chu Ming to ask, Little Ai in Chu Ming's mind promptly informed him.

"Blood Qi Spirits?"

Chu Ming's eyes showed a trace of curiosity. He extended his Soul Power attempting to approach one of the Blood Qi Spirits, but as soon as he touched it, his Soul Power shivered, seemingly showing signs of freezing!

Chu Ming's face turned pale, gazing at the countless Blood Qi Spirits in mid-air with fear flickering in his eyes!

These Blood Qi Spirits are so evil?

"Blood Qi Spirits are formed from the resentment of the heavens and earth after a person's True Spirit is extinguished, incredibly evil. However, for Demon Dao experts, they are considered an excellent resource. A single Blood Qi Spirit can suffice to make their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds!"

Little Ai said indifferently, but her words also contained an element of disbelief, clearly encountering Blood Qi Spirits here was unexpected for her as well!

"These Blood Qi Spirits are fresh and newly formed. If I'm not mistaken, the True Spirits which condensed these Blood Qi Spirits should be those young talents who died upon entering this place!"

Little Ai continued, with a hint of sigh in her words.

These geniuses might not be famous in the Celestial Net Star Realm, but they were somewhat renowned. Yet now, they died here without anyone understanding why, and even after death, they couldn't find peace—this is the cruelty of the Cosmos!

"Doesn't the Nine Elements Dao Palace care about this?"

Chu Ming frowned, given the power of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, he couldn't believe they were unaware of the situation in this relic, yet they continued to let it be, which left Chu Ming with a chill in his heart!

"Why should they care?"

Little Ai sneered, then continued, "The Cosmos is inherently cruel, among countless races in the Cosmos, a new race is born every moment, and similarly, a new race faces destruction. Some races are enslaved from the start until they die!"
