"A breakthrough to the Emperor Realm’s fortunes?"
Everyone was incredibly surprised.
Advancing from the King Realm to the Emperor Realm is a leap across a major boundary.
Moreover, this realm is extremely difficult to break through.
Otherwise, the entire Eastern Domain wouldn’t have only fifty or sixty Kings!
To step into the Emperor Realm, one doesn’t just rely on talent, but also on opportunity!
For a King to ascend to an Emperor, the most crucial step is to evolve the palaces within their body into a world.
This step is extremely dangerous.
Throughout the ages, countless have failed.
"Of course, I, the Pavilion Master, have never broken my word!"
Liu Xiao said with a smile.
"The Pavilion Master indeed is a man of his word!"
"Currently, the thirty-nine Kings are attacking our Star Pavilion. Didn’t the Pavilion Master say he would protect us completely, and did so not long ago?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
In their eyes, the Pavilion Master increasingly resembled a myth.
Able to do what others cannot!
Therefore, everyone trusted Liu Xiao immensely.
Although Ling Chen, Shen Xing, and Yang Shen were curious, they were not as excited as the others.
After all, among these three, one had already been promoted to a King, while the other two still had a considerable distance to the King Realm.
Liu Xiao smiled slightly and took the lead towards the rear mountain.
The others immediately followed.
Before long, they arrived in front of a cliff and stopped.
With Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis, he naturally sensed something unusual about the stone wall ahead.
Sure enough, Liu Xiao formed a Hand Seal with both hands and then pressed it against the stone wall.
A sound resembling a deep hum emanated, and the stone wall suddenly lit up.
Next, a cave appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
Liu Xiao, acting as the lead, entered the cave.
Once everyone had entered, the cave hid itself once again.
The group wound their way down, nearly reaching the extremely deep inner parts of Qingluan Peak.
"Pavilion Master, what exactly is this place?"
They had been walking for so long, and everyone felt only one thing, which was that the Spiritual Energy was getting richer and richer.
"Don’t be anxious, you’ll know in a moment."
Liu Xiao said with a mysterious smile: "Some things can’t be rushed, and the path of cultivation is the same."
After about another quarter of an hour.
The sound of flowing water suddenly caught everyone’s attention.
Is there a river inside the mountain?
Although they were aware of the existence of underground rivers, to reach such depths was unheard of.
Moreover, Qingluan Peak wasn’t particularly moist.
Usually, underground rivers appear in glaciers.
"Could it be that this river is actually a river of Spiritual Energy?"
The Spiritual Energy here was becoming more and more intense.
Several times more so than above.
And this place’s Spiritual Energy was extremely pure, as if refined by a powerful expert.
Perhaps seeing the confusion of the group, Liu Xiao explained while walking: "This place is a secret realm of our Star Pavilion, and it is precisely for this reason that our Star Pavilion has been able to rise."
The Star Pavilion only occupied one-fifth of the resources of the Eastern Domain, but had nearly as many Emperors as the Burning Flame Sect.
It was all thanks to this place.
"Yang Shen, your advancement to the Emperor Realm also has something to do with the treasures I gave you."
Hearing this, Yang Shen’s face changed slightly.
His promotion to Emperor was indeed because of those miraculous things given to him by Liu Xiao.
The talents of Star Pavilion disciples were much less compared to those of the Burning Flame Sect.
Without those things, it would have been too soon for him to think about ascending to Emperor!
"In times of crisis for our Star Pavilion, you all stood by without abandoning ship; this is what you deserve!"
Liu Xiao said with a laugh.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and suddenly their vision opened up dramatically.
They had been walking through a closed mountain tunnel.
However, at this moment, it was as if they had entered another world.
The sound of flowing water became even clearer.
In the distance, a river about a zhang wide caught everyone’s attention.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with burning excitement.
They could feel that the water in the river was not ordinary water, but Spiritual Energy!
It was a liquid formed by the condensation of Spiritual Energy!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Everyone hastily mobilized their Spiritual Power, rushing towards the river.
A hundred zhang distance, passed in the blink of an eye.
Nearly all of them knelt by the river, reaching out into the flow.
Then, they lifted their palms.
Spiritual Energy Water flowed down!
"It’s really Spiritual Liquid!"
"My heavens, my Burning Flame Sect actually possesses such a treasure?"
One by one, they trembled with excitement.
This was not just a gathering of nature’s spiritual energy, but truly the essence of Spiritual Energy.
This Spiritual Liquid was comparable to the essence found within Spirit Crystals.
Ling Chen, although surprised, did not lose his composure.
After all, his Divine Soul Telekinesis had already made a clear investigation; there was no need for such behavior.
A special light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.
The so-called Dragon Vein is also a kind of Spirit Vein, also known as Dragon Spirit Vein.
But the Spiritual Energy within a Dragon Vein is incomparable to that within other Spirit Veins.
It contains the essence of Spiritual Energy.
Only in a Dragon Vein can Spiritual Energy crystallize into Spirit Crystals.
The Spiritual Energy in Spirit Veins, at most, can only crystallize into top-grade Spirit Stones.
Liu Xiao glanced at Ling Chen and Shen Xing, laughing: "Aren’t you going to take a look?"
Only the three of them were left here, even Yang Shen had run to the riverbank.
Ling Chen and Shen Xing walked towards the river.
Suddenly, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.
It seemed that there were some extraordinary things in this river.
People by the river began to exclaim.
"Splash splash splash..."
Many fish flew out of the water, then plunged back in.
Everyone seemed as if they were seeing a new world.
Creatures were actually born in the Spiritual Liquid; it was truly miraculous.
"Spiritual Energy turned into fish?"
Ling Chen was also stunned.
These lively fish were not creatures, but entirely formed from condensed Spiritual Energy.
This Spiritual Energy seemed as if it had its own consciousness!
Even Emperors could only use Spiritual Energy to simulate living beings inside their bodies.
However, once these creatures left their inner world, they would be oppressed by Heaven and Earth and fade into nothingness.
Only a Great Emperor who has mastered the Power of Heaven and Earth could possibly achieve this!
Yet, there was no such powerhouse here.
It seemed as if this river had given birth to them on its own.
"What exactly is this place?"
Shen Xing also had a face full of surprise.
Although his sect possessed a Dragon Vein, they had never witnessed such an Anomaly!
Of course, the Dragon Vein in his sect was many times larger than this one.
However, the sect would not allow them such extravagant access directly into the Dragon Vein to refine Spiritual Energy.
Instead, they used the Immortal Spirit Array to draw out the Spiritual Energy, which was then provided for their Cultivation.
"These things right here!"
Staring at the fish continuously jumping out of the water, Yang Shen was incredibly excited.
He was promoted to Emperor Realm thanks to these fish formed from Spiritual Energy.
Previously, he thought this was the Pavilion Master’s doing.
Unexpectedly, it was naturally born here.
He had refined these Spiritual Energy Fish.
He knew they contained not only extremely rich essence of Spiritual Energy but also an incredibly mysterious energy.
That energy was what allowed him to successfully evolve his Palace into an existence of a world.
