Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

In the fourth trial, Elder Xue led them to a pavilion. After entering, there was a space within, and the venue changed on its own. Various dangers existed, including transformed cultivators, demon beasts, and natural forces. The ground would suddenly rise with rock thorns, ice cones would fall, and ground fire would erupt, among other things.

Elder Xue said, "The fourth trial tests your combat strength and potential. Passing requires lasting more than one incense stick's time. Those who fail within one incense stick's time will not be in mortal danger and will be sent out directly."

This time, even several high-ranking members of Canglan Palace watched the test through the Sky-Viewing Mirror. Xiao Chen was the most relaxed, and the three people behind Xiao Chen also dealt with it calmly. In the end, less than a hundred people could pass. The rest were sent out.

After resting, it was time for the fifth trial. Elder Xue led them to the final testing ground, the Heaven-Asking Stele. Standing before the hundred-zhang-high Heaven-Asking Stele, Elder Xue said, "The final trial is the Heaven-Asking Stele, which is engraved with ancient runes and will autonomously choose those who are destined. Those who are chosen will have corresponding attribute Dao patterns appear on their palms.

Those who are not chosen will not be eliminated, and those who perform well can enter Canglan Sect."

Upon hearing Elder Xue's words, everyone finally felt relieved. This time, at least, no one would be eliminated.

In the end, eleven people were chosen, and the rest became ordinary disciples of Canglan Palace. Among these twenty-one people were Xiao Chen and the two men and one woman. Elder Xue led these twenty-one people to the main hall of Canglan Palace. At this time, in addition to Ji Wushang and the other five, there was also a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face, making a total of six people.

Elder Xue pointed to Ji Wushang and said, "This is Ji Wushang, the Palace Master of our Canglan Palace, and the remaining five are all elders of the Elder Council."

The twenty-one people cupped their hands and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Palace Master and Elders."

Ji Wushang laughed and said, "From now on, you are all direct disciples of my Canglan Palace. This is the reward you have earned this time." With a wave of his hand, each person received a spatial ring containing elixirs, magic treasures, and natural treasures, source stones, and so on.

The geniuses revealed joy on their faces after probing with their divine senses. Ji Wushang spoke again, "Elder Xue, take them down to register and then arrange their cultivation matters. The four of you stay," he said, pointing to Xiao Chen and the two men and one woman.

After Elder Xue led the others away, Ji Wushang said, "What are your names? Where do you come from?"

Xiao Chen did not hesitate and said, "My name is Xiao Chen. I am currently a rogue cultivator and come from Thunder Emperor City."

The burly man followed and said, "My name is Man Qian. I am also a rogue cultivator and come from Man Province."

The young man in luxurious clothes said, "My name is Fang Yu. I come from the Fang family of Silverwood Province."

The woman in the light blue dress said, "My name is Ji Ruxue. I come from the Ji family of Guanghan Province."

Ji Wushang nodded and looked at Xiao Chen, saying, "Xiao Chen, I observed your testing process. Your physique is very unusual. Can you talk about it?" Xiao Chen still hid his Desolate Ancient Holy Body throughout the test. In the eyes of outsiders, his physique was very unusual and did not force out his trump card.

Xiao Chen cupped his hands and said, "Before I say that, I would like to get an answer from the Palace Master."

Ji Wushang had a look of interest in his eyes and smiled, "Oh… Then tell me, what kind of answer do you want from this Palace Master?"

Xiao Chen said neither humble nor arrogant, "Previously, I offended the Dao Palace. Until now, the Dao Sect and the four major forces are still wanted me. I wonder if the Palace Master can protect me."

After hearing this, the expression on Ji Wushang's face did not change, and he still smiled and said, "The Dao Palace! Haha… No problem, no problem."

As soon as Ji Wushang's voice fell, the unfamiliar middle-aged man sitting next to Ji Wushang said, "You should be the legendary Desolate Ancient Holy Body!"

At this time, the whole place fell silent. Ji Wushang turned to look at the speaker and said, "Desolate Ancient Holy Body?" This unfamiliar middle-aged man was actually a powerful man from Sword Pavilion who had just been promoted to Heavenly Emperor by using cultivation-enhancing pills and was here to guard Canglan Palace.

"Yes, and also the Desolate Ancient Holy Body that has unlocked the first shackle." Everyone was even more surprised after hearing this!

Wasn't it said that the shackles of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body could not be broken?

At this time, Ji Wushang and others felt a little unsure. He transmitted his voice to the middle-aged man from Sword Pavilion, "Xiao Chen is now at the peak of the King Realm. If he wants to continue to advance, he must break the second shackle. Does Senior have a method?"

The middle-aged man replied, "The entire Tianxuan Realm has no way to do this now! Why don't you go ask the patriarch or the Great Elder?"

Ji Wushang replied, "It seems that this is the only way."

He retracted his mind and looked at the four geniuses below, saying, "Xiao Chen, wait a moment." He turned to look at Luo Tianyi and said, "Tianyi, you take the other three down to make arrangements first."

After saying that, he disappeared from the main seat and came to Nine Heavens Mountain. In a pavilion, Ye Canghai was listening to Ji Wushang's narration. After listening, he did not dare to neglect and directly sent a message to Ye Xuan. At this time, Ye Xuan was comprehending the Sword Dao in front of the Sword-Asking Stele. After receiving Ye Canghai's message, he probed with his divine sense and asked the system in his heart: "System, is there a way to break the shackles of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body?"

"Returning to the host, there is a Shackle-Breaking Pill in the system store. This level only requires a low-level Shackle-Breaking Pill to break the last two shackles of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body."

Ye Xuan opened the system store, found the low-level Shackle-Breaking Pill, and the exchange price was one million points. Ye Xuan was immediately a little helpless. He did not have so many points now. He thought that it seemed that he could only expand some territory first, otherwise he would not have any points in his hand.

So he replied to Ye Canghai, "The matter of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body's shackles can be resolved. Observe Xiao Chen's character for a period of time first. Take down a major force in the Eastern Region in a short time."

Ye Canghai also conveyed Ye Xuan's words. He planned to discuss with Sword Pavilion tomorrow which force to attack.

Ji Wushang returned to the main hall of Canglan Palace. The others were still asking about some of Xiao Chen's past. Seeing Ji Wushang return, everyone looked at him. He nodded to the others. Everyone thought that the Ye family was still omnipotent.

Ji Wushang said to Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, from now on, you can rest assured to cultivate in Canglan Palace. You don't have to care about those people in the Dao Palace. You only need to remember that Canglan Palace is here as long as you are here."

Xiao Chen quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Palace Master, but my physique has reached this point…" Before he could finish speaking, Ji Wushang stopped him and said, "I understand what you mean. Since we can keep you, we have a way to solve the problem with your physique. You don't need to think too much."

Xiao Chen said, "If possible, Xiao Chen will definitely live and die with Canglan Palace."

Ji Wushang said, "Alright, you go find an elder to take you to choose a cave dwelling first. I will find you to talk about the matter of your physique later."

Xiao Chen cupped his hands and saluted before leaving the main hall.

The people in the hall began to ask Ji Wushang who he had gone to find and what he had said.

Ji Wushang told them that he had first found the Great Elder, and then the Great Elder had sent a message to Ye Xuan. He finally emphasized that Ye Xuan had asked them to take down a major force as soon as possible.

Golden light began to shine in everyone's eyes.
