Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 252 Jiang Hongyi has arrived, and trouble has broken out in the cave!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Jiancheng rushed out of the Enlightenment Pool entrance. At that moment, he also saw an aura approaching from afar, so he quickly concealed his aura and quietly left the place.

A few breaths later, several young disciples descended to the entrance of the Enlightenment Pool, but they seemed not to see any unusual phenomena within the pool.

Did someone just come out?

A young junior, enveloped in a dazzling blue light, suddenly stood in front of the entrance, frowning as he spoke.

"Really? Tianlai, you must have recently depleted your divine sense through cultivation. Do you think I can't tell whether there's anyone here or not?"

But a young man in azure armor standing beside him laughed.

“That’s right, Third Brother’s divine sense is the strongest. Let’s hurry in. We’ve finally accumulated enough merit to exchange for a spot. If we can get a top-grade inheritance this time, maybe we can be promoted to the Heavenly Authority level disciples!” A scholar-like Daoist cultivator behind him laughed.

"Okay, let's go in!"

The cultivator in blue armor nodded, and then the three of them handed over their tokens and entered the entrance.

hum!

But just as they entered the Enlightenment Pool, the aftershocks of that strange phenomenon also swept over them.

The terrifying aura and oppressive force caused all three of them to turn pale with fright!

"What's happening here!?"

"There's someone inside? Such a strange phenomenon... what level of inheritance has this person comprehended!?"

The three of them exclaimed in surprise.

But the next moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the storm.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying pressure descended upon the three of them.

The three stared intently, only then realizing that the person approaching was actually an extraordinary woman carrying a silver Dharma image on her back.

A silver phoenix flapped its wings and circled around her delicate body. Although her appearance was extremely beautiful, she was also extremely cold.

She looked down at the three people below, and her icy gaze alone made them tremble violently.

He immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Greetings, Senior Sister Ruoxi!"

"You just came in?"

The woman, who was high and mighty, suddenly questioned him.

"Yes, we just came in!" The three nodded hastily.

"Did you see anyone leave just now?" the woman asked again.

"No, no." Two of them shook their heads.

But the cultivator in blue armor suddenly raised his eyes, frowned and said, "No, Senior Sister Ruoxi, I think I sensed someone going out just now, but that person's cultivation and divine sense were probably extremely strong, and they also hid their aura, so I couldn't see them clearly."

"Hmph, I know!"

"You three, forget everything you saw today, and you are not allowed to say that you have seen me here, or you will die!"

The woman snorted coldly, and then her figure suddenly disappeared at the exit.

"Senior Sister Ruoxi, what's wrong?"

The blue-armored cultivator wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"You'd better shut up. Senior Sister Ruoxi is a noblewoman of the Tianquan Palace, with an extremely high status!"

"That's right, you were really too talkative just now!"

"Don't mention it again, or we won't even know how we died!"

The other two cultivators quickly added.

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and comprehend the supernatural power, and pretend you've never seen anything."

The blue-armored cultivator nodded, and the three of them immediately disappeared into the clouds and mist of the Enlightenment Pool.

Meanwhile, the woman named Ruoxi had already arrived outside the Enlightenment Pool. She first soared into the sky, her divine sense spreading in all directions.

But after a long time, she still didn't feel anything.

Immediately, she gave a disgruntled snort and returned to the entrance of the Enlightenment Pool.

The spirit of the magic array manifested once more.

Who was here just now?

Ruoxi asked.

"You have no right to ask."

But the spirit of the formation only glanced at it before collapsing again.

"Damn it! Don't let me find you, or I'll tear you to pieces!"

Ruoxi clenched her teeth tightly, then turned and left.

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng had already left the Enlightenment Pool and returned to the Tianxuan Palace.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following him.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that these kinds of things were simply impossible to explain.

Moreover, the woman was able to comprehend a top-tier inheritance, so she must hold a high position in the Dao Palace.

There's no need to invite trouble.

Only then did Gu Jiancheng have time to examine the inheritance he had received.

He raised his hand, and on his palm, a cocoon of light formed from ancient golden characters.

This is a legacy he paid a great price for.

The dense text shimmered with dazzling golden light.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng's divine sense seeped into it and began to reconstruct the text. In a short while, the complete inheritance appeared before his eyes.

But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly changed.

Because this inheritance is actually the second level of the Rising Dragon Transformation!?

This Enlightenment Pool actually contains this inheritance!?

No wonder dragons appeared in that strange phenomenon before.

Gu Jiancheng was quite satisfied with the level of the Rising Dragon Transformation.

The power of the first level already greatly enhanced Gu Jiancheng's combat strength; the second level will only be stronger.

However, cultivating this second level requires the blood of a celestial dragon.

If such a dragon race exists, upon reaching adulthood, it would at least be at the peak of the Saint Realm, or even at the Saint King level.

Finding it will likely require considerable effort.

But Gu Jiancheng is not in a hurry now. As long as he has the inheritance, he will eventually be able to find the Heavenly Dragon Blood. After all, he still has the qualification to enter the treasure vault of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace once more.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiancheng returned to Tianxuan Palace, took a look around, and then went to the outer hall to find Yun Shuiyao.

But to Gu Jiancheng's surprise, he saw Jiang Hongyi and others in front of the outer hall.

Only then did Gu Jiancheng realize that this Heavenly Pride Competition was not unique to the Holy Domain; it was also being held in other regions.

With Jiang Hongyi's combat strength, obtaining the qualification would be quite easy.

At this moment, Yun Shuiyao was leading the group in exchanging pleasantries with them.

Upon seeing Gu Jiancheng approach, Jiang Hongyi chuckled and said, "Tsk tsk, who is this?"

"Gu Jiancheng, a disciple of the Tianxuan level!"

"Don't pretend with me!" Gu Jiancheng smiled, then looked behind him. "This must be your older brother, right?"

"Gu Jiancheng of the Taiji Sect, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hmm, Jiang Hongchao of the Heavenly Demon Clan, I have long admired Sect Master Gu's name, and I thank you for taking care of my third sister. She has a mischievous personality, and I never expected that she could be so safe and sound in your Taiji Sect." The number one genius of the Heavenly Demon Clan behind Jiang Hongyi said with a smile.

He was dressed in dark red armor, with an extremely robust physique and a resolute face.

What puzzled Gu Jiancheng was that Jiang Hongchao's aura was very weak at this moment, as if he had not yet recovered from serious injuries.

"It should!"

"Brother Hongchao, your health..." Gu Jiancheng asked with concern.

"Oh, hehe, he lost in the Heavenly Pride Tournament and was seriously injured. He's still recovering." Jiang Hongchao said with a smile.

"Are there any younger generation in the Demon Realm stronger than Brother Hongchao?" Gu Jiancheng frowned.

He had witnessed Jiang Hongchao's strength firsthand; the Heavenly Demon bloodline within him was even stronger than that of Jiang Hongyi.

Now, his cultivation has reached the half-step Saint Realm, which is definitely his peak combat power.

"Hehe, you don't know, the Demon Realm is now basically under the control of the Primordial Demon Sect. The Primordial Demon Saint Son can temporarily break through to the Saint Realm with the help of evil magic, which is why my brother was injured and unable to defeat him," Jiang Hongyi mocked.

"The Primordial Demon Saint Sons, so they weren't punished and entered the Dao Palace, right?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right, just like your Holy Domain, except you won in the end. The Demon Domain is in the same situation as us, the Dao Palace is also ruined!” Jiang Hongyi nodded.

"Little sister, say less."

Jiang Hongchao interrupted her.

Now he also knows that it is strange that the Primordial Demon Saint was not punished and was even allowed to enter the inner palace to cultivate.

This means they have powerful backers in the Dao Palace. Now that they have entered the Dao Palace, they are too weak without strong backers.

Now, they only hope to cultivate peacefully in the Dao Palace for half a year and strive to improve their combat power.

Jiang Hongyi pursed her lips and ultimately said nothing more.

She also knew that her elder brother was thinking of the Heavenly Demon Clan.

"It seems things are worse than I thought..."

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng focused his gaze on the gate of the Supreme Saint Palace, where he saw many juniors pouring in.

Those who came in this time were definitely not just juniors from the Three Realms.

Just as the Inspector said, the Holy Dao Palace governs dozens of regions, and the Heavenly Pride Competition is held in all of these regions. Therefore, there can only be more people practicing evil techniques in these regions!

Moreover, it is likely that most of them are top-tier prodigies who cultivate evil arts and have obtained the qualification to enter the Tianxuan Palace for cultivation. The power behind these people is far more terrifying than imagined!

No wonder the inspectors were so powerless!

He was the only one from his Holy Domain to enter the Tianxuan Palace, so one can imagine how fierce the challenges he faced were.

Afterwards, Gu Jiancheng chatted with everyone for a while, and after giving Yun Shuiyao a long lecture, he returned to Tianxuan Palace.

However, as soon as he arrived at his cave dwelling, he saw several figures standing in front of his cave dwelling.

He didn't know them, but these people clearly had ill intentions.

"Hehe, you must be Gu Jiancheng from the Holy Domain?!"

Upon seeing Gu Jiancheng approach, the leading cultivator grinned maliciously.

Gu Jiancheng looked over and saw that the man was dressed in a red battle suit, with long, fiery hair and a rugged appearance, but his cultivation seemed to have already broken through to the Saint Realm.

However, his aura was somewhat similar to that of Cang Xingyu, whom he had met before.

Gu Jiancheng's pupils contracted slightly as he realized that although the others' cultivation levels were not as high as this red-haired cultivator's, they all showed signs of practicing evil arts.

Although they are not exactly the same, they all definitely involve cultivating by using strange energy.

"That's right, so what?"

Gu Jiancheng nodded.

"Hehe, I've only heard you're arrogant, so I've come to see for myself."

"With your cultivation level, all I can say is that the cultivators of the Holy Land are trash, hahaha!"

"That's right, compared to Brother Yan's Holy Flame Domain Death, it's like heaven and earth!"

After the red-haired cultivator finished speaking, the surrounding cultivators all echoed his words.

"Boy, remember this: my name is Yan Mo. I don't like you. I'm letting you go today, but you'd better stay in your cave. If you come out, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

"go!"

After saying that, the red-haired cultivator led the group away.

Gu Jiancheng also felt quite confused. He had never heard of this so-called Holy Flame Domain, let alone knew this so-called Flame Mo.

But being targeted, especially by someone who tramples on one's home, is something Gu Jiancheng cannot tolerate.

"Walk?"

"Are you all going to leave?"

Before Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, a sword light instantly burst forth!
