"Five hundred thousand system points, eighty thousand system points!"

"Is this Nine-Pattern Moon Artifact, the Mysterious Bird Sky Lock, so different from the Seven-Pattern Moon Artifact, the Bone-Eating Rod?"

Lu Xuan, who was suspended underground, spent a full seven days to extract all the power of the two sacrificial vessels and convert it into system points.

Among them, it took Lu Xuan six days to extract the power from the Nine-Patterned Moon Artifact Xuanniao Sky Lock.

"Deducing the Burning Heaven Sword Technique!"

Lu Xuan looked at the deduced points of the Burning Heaven Sword Technique. Although it was as high as 50 points, there was no ripple in his heart.

Lu Xuan now has only one idea.

That is to step into the realm of Dongxu!
You damned beast, when this boss of our company breaks through to the Void Realm, I will definitely settle all grudges with you!
After Lu Xuan's confirmation, the 50 system points on the system panel were instantly erased.

Deep in Lu Xuan's sea of consciousness, a mysterious little man of golden light appeared again. His blurry figure seemed to contain endless mysteries.

At this moment, a vast sea of purple fire is quietly undergoing mysterious changes.

As the golden man waved his hands, there was an endless purple flame.

Suddenly, a brilliant and sacred black-gold light emerged, just like the first ray of light when the world was first created, which was both mysterious and extremely sacred and majestic.

In the center of the black-gold light of the purple sea of fire, there was a tiny but not to be ignored black-gold flame, quietly floating and burning in the air.

Although the black and gold flames are so small that they can be ignored, within them lies the terrifying power that can burn the sky and boil the sea.

The black and gold flames are too mysterious to be looked at directly, and words cannot describe their mystery.

The next second, a trace of extremely pure black and gold flame quietly overflowed from under Lu Xuan's tightly closed eyes, surrounding him like a nimble and graceful dragon.

At this moment, Lu Xuan seemed to have caught some mysterious opportunity.

He opened his lips slightly, his voice low and distant, as if speaking of the essential power between heaven and earth.

"Is this the power of the Law of Fire and the Law of Destruction?"

"To be able to achieve such a perfect fusion... Is this the ultimate power that can incinerate all things in heaven and earth, the vast universe, and the heavens and the universe?"

As Lu Xuan pushed the Burning Heaven Sword Technique to its extreme, the power of his flame sword technique underwent some changes.

The originally extremely pure power of the law of fire gradually evolved into the power of the law that destroys everything.

The power of the law of fire and the power of the law of destruction merged together.

This is not as simple as one plus one, but it can enable Lu Xuan's Burning Heaven Sword Technique to exert unimaginable power.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan's spiritual palace suddenly rioted, and an extremely terrifying force burst out from his body.

An indescribably powerful aura surrounded his body, and even the isolated earth outside was shaking.

At the same time, all the power in Lu Xuan's divine palace was sucked into the mysterious purple vortex.

It was as if the boundless purple vortex was a bottomless abyss, swallowing everything.

The divine consciousness and soul, which had previously been half integrated into the purple cave vortex, also began to move slowly at this moment, sinking into the depths of the cave vortex.

As Lu Xuan's mind and soul merged into the huge purple vortex, an extremely huge and blurry human-shaped shadow gradually emerged.

Although the shadow had not yet fully formed, it already exuded a heart-pounding pressure.

The enormous human-shaped phantom seemed like an ancient god about to awaken, possessing the power to destroy the world.

At this moment, black and gold flames surrounded Lu Xuan, intertwining with the purple light.

His aura rose steadily, as if he was crossing some boundary and heading into a whole new realm.

The phantom in the purple vortex seemed to become clearer and clearer as Lu Xuan's breath increased.

It was a phantom of the Dharma image of heaven and earth that looked like Lu Xuan!

The Dharma image of heaven and earth of Master Dongxu is the power that can control the laws of heaven and earth.

"The day this master comes out of seclusion is the day he ascends to the position of True Lord Dongxu!"

After saying that, Lu Xuan's aura gradually subsided, and he prepared to break through to the realm of Master Dongxu!
However, what Lu Xuan didn’t expect was!

The time he spent in seclusion this time far exceeded his imagination!

Half a year!
It took a full six months!
..........
Half a year!

In Tiandu, deep in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, a majestic palace stretches for a thousand meters, majestic and imposing, like the pinnacle of power between heaven and earth.

This is the core of the Great Xia Dynasty - the Pilgrimage Hall.

A place that affects billions of miles of territory and determines the fate of countless lives.

Inside the pilgrimage hall, eighty-one dark black glazed jade pillars stand majestically, each one inlaid with sparkling gems and engraved with exquisite patterns.

In the middle of the jade pillar, several huge black birds are lifelike, spreading their wings as if ready to fly, revealing endless majesty.

Looking up, the dome of the pilgrimage temple is even more shocking.

Nine giant black birds were flying around with their wings spread out, as if they were guarding the perfect black cauldron in the center.

The dark black cauldron was simple and heavy, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

There is no doubt that this huge black cauldron is the most important clan artifact of the Great Xia royal family - the Xuanniao Cauldron!

This Xuanniao Ding is the supreme treasure of Xia Wuji, the founder of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it carries the ultimate power that others cannot imagine.

According to legend, Xia Wuji, relying on the might of the Xuanniao Ding, single-handedly swept across the world, suppressing countless aristocratic families and some powerful enemies and old monsters that had never appeared in the world.

A prosperous country was created in this vast world.

Daxia Dynasty!

Under the power of the Xuanniao Ding, the Great Xia Dynasty was at its peak. Xia Wuji personally led the army to fight, and all nations submitted to him.

Those opposition forces that once controlled a piece of land, as well as various large and small countries, collapsed one after another under the power of the Xuanniao Ding and were eventually completely destroyed.

The territory of the Great Xia Dynasty was thus unified, and it became the undisputed ruler of this world.

Therefore, the Xuanniao Ding is not only the sacred artifact of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also the ultimate power of the Great Xia royal family to dominate this world.

Therefore, the Xuanniao Ding is usually guarded by the royal ancestors of Daxia to ensure its safety.

Of course, if there is anyone in the royal family of Daxia who can resonate with the Xuanniao Ding.

Then he is the candidate for the next emperor of Daxia, no doubt about it!

Therefore, the Xuanniao Ding was sometimes held in the hands of the Emperor of Daxia.

It just so happens.

The current emperor of Great Xia, Empress Xia Mingyue, happened to be the one who gained the recognition of the Xuanniao Ding.

This recognition is unprecedented and directly surpasses the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wuji.

This is also the reason why almost no one opposed Xia Mingyue after he ascended the throne.

Of course, if anyone objected, they were secretly eliminated by some old monsters in the royal family of Daxia who had never come out to the world.

Without him!

The royal family of Daxia only recognizes the Xuanniao Ding, and they recognize the Ding but not the person. Whoever can control the Xuanniao Ding is the true master of the royal family of Daxia.

At this moment, within the pilgrimage hall, all civil and military officials stood in awe, the atmosphere extremely solemn and dignified. Everyone's gaze was simultaneously directed towards the lofty imperial throne.

The hundreds of meters long black gemstone staircase is like a road leading to the sky.
At the end, a woman wearing the imperial robe of Daxia sat on the imperial throne.

She has picturesque features and a majestic temperament, and she is the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Xia Mingyue, the Queen of Great Xia!
The dark black imperial robe of Empress Xia Mingyue was embroidered with a pattern of nine black birds spreading their wings.

At this moment, Empress Xia Mingyue's eyes were deep and calm, as if she could easily see through everything in the world, yet with a sacred and inviolable majesty.

Beside her, two women stood solemnly, wearing the brocade robes of the Plum Blossom Guard and the uniforms of the Black Feather Guard respectively. They were awe-inspiring, like two guardian gods.

The woman on the left, wearing a brocade robe with plum blossom patterns and a frown on her face, is Man Qingqiu, the leader of the Plum Blossom Guard.

The Plum Blossom Guard is in charge of the most mysterious intelligence and assassination agency of the Great Xia Dynasty. They are ruthless and have won the trust of the Empress.

The woman on the right was wearing the uniform of the Black Feather Guard. She looked heroic and her eyes were as sharp as lightning.

She is Shangguan Yuqing, the Golden Envoy of the Black Feather Guard, responsible for monitoring everything in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that he controls the power to distribute martial arts resources of the Xuanniao Guard of Daxia, which is a sharp sword to strangle the Xuanniao Guard!
These three people, one is the supreme empress, and the other two are powerful guardians who have great influence in the court and the country. Together they constitute the core of the peak of power in the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, the pilgrimage hall was completely silent, as if even the air had frozen.

Everyone knows that today's court meeting will determine the future fate of the Great Xia Dynasty.

because!

The Lingxu land will appear in half a month, inside the Guixu forbidden land in the direction of East City.

On weekdays, the Guixu Forbidden Land is usually guarded by people sent by the Daxia royal family, the eight major families and the five transcendent forces.

No one is allowed to come near!
Violators will be killed!
At the bottom of the pilgrimage hall, civil and military officials stood in silence, and the three people standing in the front were none other than the most important figures of the Great Xia Dynasty.

They are Left Prime Minister Chang Mingsheng, Right Prime Minister Bi Zhengzhi, and Pillar of the State Duke Fu Shengyuan.

Chang Mingsheng, the left prime minister, was the head of the civil service of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was a veteran of three dynasties and assisted the Great Xia Emperor in handling state affairs. He was deeply respected by the court and the people.

The Right Prime Minister Bi Zhengzhi was promoted by the previous Director of the Tianli Department.

And standing between the two of them was Fu Shengyuan.

He is not only the younger brother of the late emperor's empress, but also one of the important officials of the Great Xia Dynasty.

During the reign of the previous emperor, Fu Shengyuan served as the chief of the Imperial City Military Department, in charge of the imperial city's troops and held great power.

Because of his outstanding achievements, the previous emperor conferred on him the title of Duke of the State, the highest position among the ministers and a respected status.

However, Fu Shengyuan's identity is much more than that.

He also has another intriguing identity - the uncle of the eldest prince Xia Mingdao.

You must know that the eldest prince Xia Mingdao was born to Fu Shengyuan's biological sister, the current empress dowager.

It is said that when Empress Xia Mingyue ascended the throne, Fu Shengyuan strongly opposed it and even made suggestions to the late emperor many times in an attempt to change the decision.

Because Fu Shengyuan supported his nephew, the eldest prince Xia Mingdao, and believed that the throne should be inherited by the eldest prince, not the empress.

This relationship makes Fu Riyuan's position in the court particularly delicate.

Although he appeared to be very respectful to the empress, many people in the court knew that there was always an unspeakable gap and contradiction between Fu Riyuan and the empress.

The Imperial City Military Department under his control gave him significant influence in the court.

At this moment, Fu Riyuan stood at the front of the pilgrimage hall with a solemn expression and deep eyes.

His existence is like a hidden chess piece that may cause a storm in the court at any time.

The Empress Xia Mingyue sat upright on the throne, her eyes sweeping over the ministers below.

Finally, her gaze rested on Fu Riyuan, and she examined this powerful Duke intentionally or unintentionally.

In a moment when no one noticed, the corners of Empress Xia Mingyue's lips rose slightly, outlining an almost imperceptible arc.

It was not an ordinary smile, but one that carried a hint of sarcasm and cold contempt, as if looking down at a struggling ant.

However, this smile disappeared in a flash, so quickly that it almost seemed like an illusion.

The empress's expression quickly returned to its former majesty and solemnity, as if the emotion at that moment had never existed.

At this time, in the pilgrimage hall, a minister bowed and stepped out, reporting to the Empress Xia Mingyue above in a respectful and steady voice.

"Your Majesty, I wonder when Lu Xuan will return?"

"Now, half a year has passed, and the martial arts competition in Tiandu has reached the final decisive moment."

"Three days later, it will be the decisive battle."

"The top 100 candidates will be selected and then go to the Guixu Forbidden Land."

The minister who stepped out was none other than Lu Ze, the head of the Tianli Department, one of the six chief ministers in the court.

As soon as Lu Ze, the head of the Tianli Department, finished speaking, the court fell silent.

All the civil and military officials turned their eyes to the empress, waiting for her response.

Lu Xuan's name was not unfamiliar in the court, or in other words, he was a well-known figure in the world.

This young warrior, who was almost so monstrous that no one could believe him, had caused a huge stir in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although Lu Xuan is young, he is the deputy chief of Xuanniao Guard and is almost on par with the chief of Xuanniao Guard.

Empress Xia Mingyue sat on the throne with an indifferent expression. She raised her eyes slightly and spoke slowly in an extremely majestic voice.

"I will make my own arrangements for Lu Xuan's affairs."

"You just need to follow the usual practices!"

Although Empress Xia Mingyue's tone was calm, it carried unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"We obey the order!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers below bowed in agreement.

However, most of the court officials had their own thoughts in their minds.

That guy Lu Xuan is so weird.

It had only been a few days since he took office as the Lord of Xuanniao, and he started disappearing.

Moreover, disappearing would be one thing, but disappearing at the most critical moment was the choice.

Isn't this a slap in the face of Her Majesty the Empress?

This young man really doesn't know his place!

The Empress Xia Mingyue closed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

The reason why she was sure that Lu Xuan would appear was naturally because she was confident.

Because Lu Xuan had already appeared in the world yesterday, and at the same time transmitted a message to Li Chengxing thousands of miles away.

"very good!"

"A man who had one foot in the Void Realm actually disappeared for half a year!"

“It’s so fun!”

"Lu Xuan, you are going to bring me a surprise!"
