Chapter 1337: Chapter 621: Got Played!
"Take out the key!"
Her gaze fell upon Chen Xuan.
"I can’t take it out!"
Chen Xuan mumbled internally; once it was embedded in the name artifact list, it couldn’t be removed. He had tried before.
Then, four keys glittered brightly.
Simultaneously shooting out four beams of golden light.
In mid-air, five beams of golden light met, and then began to merge with each other. Moments later, a golden light curtain appeared.
"Now what?"
Chen Xuan asked.
Lin Xi did not reply but instead took out the Ten Thousand Spirits Book.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Book turned into a stream of light, flying towards the golden light curtain and merging into it. Immediately, ripples appeared across the curtain.
The next moment!
A dull sound resonated, and the light curtain split into two, slowly opening like a grand door.
The central gap widened.
Until it was fully open!
Chen Xuan tried using telepathy to peer inside, but he was blocked by an invisible force.
"Inside is the true relic!"
With those words falling,
Lin Xi rushed in directly.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate any longer, following quickly.
Upon entering the relic.
What met the eye was a barren tree.
Bare, without a single leaf, in the entire space, apart from this barren tree, there was nothing else.
Not just that!
Chen Xuan felt all his rules were suppressed, unable to mobilize even an ounce.
"What is that?"
He pointed at the barren tree.
"Do you know why the Supreme Domain is divided?"
Lin Xi did not answer, instead suddenly bringing up the Supreme Domain.
This immediately made Chen Xuan knit his brows, then he shook his head, "I don’t know!"
"The Supreme Domain is the Upper Domain, relying on countless Lower Realms."
"And all of this is supported on a branch of the World Tree."
"But there was a problem with the World Tree, so the Supreme Domain had to split, dispersed onto five branches of the World Tree to lessen its burden!"
"But now the branch at the Central Continent is gradually unable to support it, so we must find something to heal the World Tree!"
This is the divine task Emperor Venerable entrusted her with.
Concerning the life and death of the Central Continent.
That’s why she had to enter the relic, even if losing a bet to Chen Xuan, she wouldn’t relinquish the keys until after entering the relic.
"The World Tree?"
It was the first time Chen Xuan heard of this name. What he knew was called Heaven-Reaching Bamboo.
Was there a connection between the two, or was it just different names for the same thing?
But he couldn’t be bothered with such things now, so he asked, "What about the other continents?"
"Things aren’t looking good there either!"
"Is the Eastern Continent even worse?"
Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
At this moment, he roughly understood everything in his heart; the Hall Master’s instructions, and the Great Elder’s task, it seems they were looking for the same thing Lin Xi was!
Lin Xi fell into silence, the truth was indeed that way, the Eastern Continent was in worse shape.
But being a person of the Central Continent, she would only consider the Central Continent, whereas for the Eastern Continent... the plan of Emperor Venerable was to migrate entirely to the remaining three continents.
"So if a new domain appears, where will it rely on?"
"Wherever it opens is where it will rely on!"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s expression shook, meaning the Primordial Realm and the Eastern Continent were one entity.
If the Eastern Continent encountered problems, the Primordial Realm would be finished too!
In that case... he must compete for this thing.
He couldn’t care for the Central Continent, but the Eastern Continent could not falter.
"Sorry!"
Lin Xi suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Chen Xuan was stunned, but in the next moment, the Ten Thousand Spirits Book flew towards him, enveloping him in golden light.
"You—"
His face turned incredibly unpleasant, never expecting Lin Xi to take sudden action, using the Ten Thousand Spirits Book to confine him.
"The Ten Thousand Spirits Book will only seal you, it won’t harm you. Once I obtain the item, I’ll release you!"
"By then, I’ll also give you the key!"
Lin Xi appeared apologetic, but the expression vanished in a flash.
The Emperor Venerable’s task must be completed, not to mention it concerned the safety of the Central Continent.
"Alright, alright then!"
Chen Xuan laughed out of frustration, never expecting to be undermined by a ruse like this, played by her.
It seemed she had long planned it all.
"Sorry!"
With that concluded, Lin Xi directly flew towards the barren tree.
Chen Xuan squinted his eyes, looking up at the Ten Thousand Spirits Book above, "Let’s see if you can keep me in check!"
"Boom!"
In his fury, he unleashed all his might.
"Break for me!" he shouted, punching out!
"Bang!"
A loud explosion!
But the Ten Thousand Spirits Book only trembled a few times, then returned to its original state.
Chen Xuan’s full-powered punch didn’t affect it in the slightest.
"Impossible!"
He couldn’t believe it, with power surpassing the ninth tier, yet he couldn’t handle it; he was even sure this punch was no weaker than a divine punishment’s thunderbolt back then.
"Damn!"
"That woman was playing me the whole time!"
Chen Xuan could no longer hold back; he erupted in expletives.
Damn it!
He thought Lin Xi was purely naive, but it turned out, damn it, he was the clown!
Everything was a facade!
Initially, Lin Xi hadn’t planned to do this, even when she lost to Chen Xuan before, it wasn’t considered.
But after meeting again in the Land of Chaos, she felt Chen Xuan’s strength, and she was no longer a match at all.
That was the precursor to everything that followed.
It was all to let him lower his guard.
In his view, she was no longer a concern.
So once inside, he wouldn’t pay particular attention to her, enabling her to use the Ten Thousand Spirits Book to confine him.
Otherwise, if he had constantly been on guard, with his power and speed, it would have been hard for the Ten Thousand Spirits Book to succeed.
Chen Xuan sighed towards the sky.
He began blaming himself internally, the rapid rise in power had significantly altered his state of mind; at least within the Dao Domain, he no longer regarded anyone highly.
This led to the current situation.
Lin Xi had already reached the top of the barren tree, and then transformed her palm into a blade.
A slash was struck!
