Chapter 1258: Chapter 595: Soul Burial Forest, Geniuses of a Shining Era! (2)
The acupoint erupted instantly, and jade enveloped the Celestial Measuring Ruler, brutally severing its connection with Qin Tiandao.
"Pfft!"
Qin Tiandao coughed up blood, but what terrified him the most was that he couldn’t sense the presence of the Celestial Measuring Ruler anymore.
"Imperial Sister, Great Yu must not fall into trouble!"
"The Celestial Measuring Ruler is Father’s Spiritual Treasure; if lost, you know Father’s temper!"
Smack!
With the loss of the Celestial Measuring Ruler, his power plummeted, and Chen Xuan casually slapped him hard across the face.
"Bang!"
He was sent flying several hundred meters!
This was the result of going easy on him; otherwise, a slap would have turned him into a pulp.
"Don’t worry, he won’t die!"
Chen Xuan looked at Qin Ying, smiled, and then stepped over to Qin Tiandao. At this moment, he was disheveled, with his clothes torn into pieces hanging on his chest, his breath chaotic, and none of the demeanor of the former Eldest Prince of Great Yu.
"Will you give it or not?"
Chen Xuan leaned over and asked softly.
"You can take it yourself!"
Qin Tiandao glared at Chen Xuan with resentment, his heart filled with jealousy. Why? Even with the Celestial Measuring Ruler, he couldn’t compare to Chen Xuan!
A mere king in the mansion.
Others needed to queue to see him!
But in front of Chen Xuan, not only did he lose face as the Eldest Prince, but sometimes he was even worse off than a dog!
"I want you to willingly hand it over!"
Chen Xuan looked at him with disdain.
Exactly!
He could take it at any time now, but he wanted to humiliate Qin Tiandao.
The more unwilling he was, the more he forced him to hand it over.
This was the only way he could vent his anger.
Qin Ying remained silent.
Being able to ask Chen Xuan to return the Celestial Measuring Ruler to Qin Tiandao was her limit.
Speaking again now would make her seem immature, and unworthy of being Lady Chen.
"Three breaths!"
"Give, I’ll return this to you!"
"Don’t give, and I’ll leave! I’ll spare your life, but only this once!"
With these words, Chen Xuan extended a middle finger, and it was directed at Qin Tiandao.
A moment later, a second finger!
At this moment, Qin Tiandao felt conflicted; he didn’t want to give up the key, but without the Celestial Measuring Ruler, he wouldn’t even qualify as cannon fodder in the Dao Domain.
When Chen Xuan’s third finger was about to slowly rise.
A hint of fierceness flashed across Qin Tiandao’s eyes, "Take it!"
He threw the key over.
Though reluctant, he couldn’t be without the Celestial Measuring Ruler.
The rest would be settled later!
Chen Xuan took the key, "Three keys now!"
But the last two wouldn’t be as easy.
"Celestial Measuring Ruler!"
Qin Tiandao’s voice suddenly became exceptionally calm, his face expressionless, and even his gaze at Chen Xuan lacked any hatred.
"I keep my word."
Then he released the jade from the Celestial Measuring Ruler and threw it out.
Qin Tiandao caught it steadily and was about to leave directly.
"Don’t provoke me, or next time no one can save you!"
Faced with Chen Xuan’s threat, he still said nothing, merely flew away and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"Sorry."
Qin Ying felt deeply guilty.
"Do you believe he will eventually die at my hands?"
Hearing this, her heart trembled, and she quietly replied, "Then that’s his fate! No one can save him!"
This was not something she could do a second time.
Even though she knew that if she spoke, Chen Xuan would likely respect her wishes.
But she wouldn’t do it!
Because she is Lady Chen!
...
The third key!
In his consciousness sea, the third slot of the Famous Artifact List started to shimmer.
"Bang!"
After the third key fell, the estimated energy appeared again.
And it was several times more abundant than before.
Chen Xuan was instantly delighted.
His body was pervaded with jade color, and the jade bones frantically absorbed this energy.
Faint pressure spread from Chen Xuan’s body.
In an instant!
The expressions of several people around him tightened.
"Has he made another breakthrough?"
"Simply not human!"
Ye Jinhong was full of envy, but Qin Ying glared at him fiercely, "Say another word of nonsense, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
Daring to spew such nonsense in front of her.
"It’s a habit, a hab..."
Before finishing his sentence, Qin Ying’s expression turned unpleasant.
Ye Jinhong hurriedly denied, "It’s not a habit, just a slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"
"Hmph!"
Qin Ying snorted coldly but stopped looking at him.
"Scared me to death."
His back was soaked, not accustomed to treating Chen Xuan lightly in usual times.
Who would have thought she was so protective.
One day later.
"Pop, pop, pop..."
A rapid and crisp sound echoed within Chen Xuan’s body.
"Twenty-one!"
Chen Xuan couldn’t contain his excitement, breaking through twenty-one acupoints at once!
Eagerly, he immediately summoned the system.
...
[Jade Bone: Grade Eight (24%)]
[Sacred Body: (90/108)]
....
"Still need eighteen acupoints!"
"Sacred Body exceeds eighty percent!"
"Grade Eight Jade Bone also upgraded to 24%!"
Chen Xuan was thrilled.
He felt his strength had increased significantly.
If he could get the remaining two keys, then the Sacred Body might be fully realized!
"I absolutely have to snatch Xiao Jue’s one; as for Lin Xi..."
This was quite a headache.
Her strength was a complete mystery, and behind her was Emperor Venerable. Trying to get a key from her was almost as hard as ascending to heaven.
"Never mind, take it step by step!"
After all, no one could say for sure about future events, and there might be an opportunity.
"Let’s go!"
Chen Xuan slowly stood up and led them toward the pale gold spot on the map.
Half a day later!
Chen Xuan and his party emerged from the spatial barrier.
Stone tablets!
Dark gray, over ten meters high, several meters low, densely packed, with at least hundreds.
Moreover, a solemn atmosphere lingered overhead.
"Father..."
Xiaoqi waved to him from below, Qin Ke was also there.
