The first floor in heaven.
When Xu Xiaoshou led the people back to his base and released everyone safely from Yuan Mansion, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This means that the risks of the trade fair have come to an end for the time being.
On the other side of the Yunlun Mountains.
The eight masters single-handedly attracted the hatred of all red and white clothes.
But what the outcome will be is unknown to outsiders.
But at the level of the Eighth Sword Immortal, Xu Xiaoshou was obviously not able to guess what he would do and the results of his actions.
Put all that aside.
Xu Xiaoshou dared to lead people back to the first floor of the sky, which meant that he consciously separated the identities of the saint slave Xu Xiaoshou and the semi-saint successor Xu Dechang during the night battle in the royal city.
Although it was said that things should be done according to urgency, too much happened in the middle, and there may be some details that were not handled well.
The Holy Temple is not all stupid. I believe that if you think about it carefully afterwards, you may still be able to catch some strange places.
But after all, the details are innocuous.
there is always a solution to a problem.
As long as there are no problems in the general direction.
I believe that even if the Holy Temple can find some small flaws, it will not be able to directly convict him.
There are many forces in the royal city that have problems, and there is no shortage of forces like the First Floor in the Sky, whose timing and motivations are inherently problematic.
During the critical period of the Royal City Trial, the Eight Masters came up with the idea of summoning the Void Island in the Yunlun Mountains.
At this moment, the Holy Temple itself should be in dire straits.
I really want to call for an investigation...
As far as time is concerned, it is most likely after the trial in the royal city.
Just ranking them in order, the first floor in the sky may not even be among the first ones to be questioned. The ones who should really panic are the established forces in the royal city.
As one of the parties involved in the night battle in Wangcheng.
Xu Xiaoshou was indeed panicked afterwards, but he also understood the truth.
"This world never operates based on individuals."
Look beyond your own situation.
There are too many big forces in the royal city to share the hatred of the Holy Temple.
If we really look at it this way, to a large extent, the first person to suffer would not be a mediocre small organization like the First Floor in the Sky.
so.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
Just take it step by step and continue taking the next step.
…
"Crunch~"
The door to the training room was pushed open.
After driving away the exhausted Xiao Wanfeng, Xu Xiaoshou walked into the training room alone and immediately saw the old man sitting in the room.
"coming?"
Cenjou waved to the young man, poured him a cup of tea, and motioned to sit down.
As soon as Xu Xiaoshou sat down, he was the first to ask: "If nothing else happens, protecting me at the trade fair should not be your main task, right?"
In the streets and alleys, after Mei Siren took the sword from Vigilante with two fingers and Cen Qiaofu appeared, he still did not leave. Instead, he followed and protected him all the way to the first floor in the sky.
Say it's "protection".
But Xu Xiaoshou knew that with Mr. Siren here, there would be no problem with him.
Therefore, Cenqiaofu must be coming with other instructions from the leader of the Holy Slave.
The Eight Masters should have set off after communicating with him, so this instruction must have been set a long time ago.
Xu Xiaoshou really wanted to know.
The masked man arranged himself to this position step by step. What did he want in the end?
"You are really smart..." Cenchofu did not hesitate to praise him, "much better than your bald master."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
"Let's get down to business!" He rolled his eyes and didn't continue.
Cen Qiaofu put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I would like to ask you, first of all, are you curious about why he asked you to come to the royal city to cause trouble?"
"I'm not curious." Xu Xiaoshou shook his head: "Isn't it the King City Trial and Void Island?"
"It's indeed these two."
Cen Qiaofu smiled and continued to ask: "But what are the final plans for the trial in the royal city and the Void Island?"
Xu Xiaoshou was slightly startled at this time.
He was indeed a little curious about this.
But his original intention of going to Dongtian King City was not really to help the Holy Slave to the end.
"I'm not curious about this, and you don't need to tell me. Making trouble is just making trouble. I don't want to go down."
Xu Xiaoshou waved his hands as he spoke, with a look of resistance on his face: "You...well, our leader also said, give me the power, I have the greatest freedom, as long as the ultimate goal is consistent with the Holy Slave, so if you also want There’s no need to trick me.”
Cenkoufu choked.
But he had already learned about Xu Xiaoshou's brain circuit, so he didn't care at the moment.
"You really don't want to know?"
"In no mood."
"really?"
"Well……"
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the old face with a deep smile opposite him, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine for no reason, feeling quite bad.
yes!
Doesn't this old guy mean "if you don't understand, you can only be led around in a daze"?
Instead of choosing "not to understand", there is no way to resist.
It is better to understand some of the fundamental reasons so that you can avoid taking some detours.
As for refusing to accept understanding, it can be tantamount to refusing the control of the Eight Masters... Xu Xiaoshou believes that he does not have that qualification at the moment.
Because of Sang Lao's game, he had to learn from it several times.
If you really didn't understand this time, you would probably just be confused and go into the hole dug in advance by the Eight Masters.
So Xu Xiaoshou pondered for a moment and changed his words: "That's all, if you really want to say something, I won't be able to listen at all."
Cen Qiaofu rolled his eyes and sneered, this arrogant little hedgehog...
He pondered his thoughts, tapped his fingers and said: "Trial of the Holy Palace, Secret Realm of Four Symbols, have you heard of it?"
"Hmm?" Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows.
"If you get to the top three in the Royal City Trial, you can enter the Four Elephants Secret Realm, and you must go." Cen Qiaofu said concisely and to the point.
Xu Xiaoshou smiled immediately.
He knew that this was the path planned for him by Ba Zunzhen after the battle in Ba Gongli.
This was indeed his plan.
But after all, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Xu Xiaoshou spread his hands and said helplessly:
"You weren't present at last night's battle, so you probably didn't know that I had already broken through to Grandmaster."
"It's not that I don't want to suppress my cultivation. It's mainly because I was born to fight against Taixu. It was really difficult to fight. In the end, I was forced to break through the realm."
"Grandmaster, it's easier to fight."
"I guess this is also Rao Jianxian's method. She doesn't want a genius like me to enter the royal city for trial, and eventually enter the holy palace for trial!"
Xu Xiaoshou said it with an indifferent expression.
Cen Qiaofu was so exposed that his scalp went numb.
After the battle in the royal city last night, the name of Saint Slave Xu Xiaoshou was now known to almost everyone. How could he not pay attention?
This guy is too good at pretending, right?
Defeat Taixu innately...
Isn’t it just relying on the holy blood and holy images?
Change the place, change the people.
As long as you don't have the worries of Wangcheng, you can distance yourself and fight alone, kill Dao and add holy blood, you can be tortured to death, do you understand?
But these Cenchofu were only complaining mentally.
He knew that Xu Xiaoshou must also know.
So after pondering for a moment, Cen Qiaofu spoke again, but the focus fell on Xu Xiaoshou's last unintentional guess.
"You are actually right. Rao Yaoyao wanted to prevent you from entering the Royal City for trials and the Holy Palace trials, so he used the Red Dust Sword to force you to break through the Grandmaster."
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes widened immediately.
"What did you say?"
"Being frightened, passive value, +1."
This time, Xu Xiaoshou was really frightened.
He thought it was a coincidence...
Cen Qiaofu leaned back with a smile and said slowly: "Do you think that with your natural talents, you can break through the predicament of the world of mortals with your firm will, even though the red dust sword of Rao Yao Yao can kill the throne and the road?"
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned: "Isn't it like this?"
At this time, he was no longer polite.
Perhaps for others, humility is a good virtue.
But Xu Xiaoshou really felt that he was able to break through the predicament of the mortal world because of his experiences in the previous life.
Under the sun, another Xiantian would never have been able to get out of that predicament under Rao Yaoyao's sword of mortals.
The young Bazun Shu may not even be able to do it!
Xu Xiaoshou was extremely certain of this, so there was no need for him to be humble. At this time, Cen Qiaofu opposite him was obviously not worthy of Xu Xiaoshou's humility...
"you are wrong."
But at this time, Cenqiaofu slowly shook his head and said seriously:
"Enlightenment in the mortal world is originally the best way for practitioners of the Red Dust Sword to assist themselves and their juniors in assisting in enlightenment."
"And I have to say, even if what you said is very annoying."
"But the name of Holy Slave Xu Xiaoshou is indeed true. Before last night's battle, he was already famous throughout the Holy Temple and even the headquarters of the Central Region!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
At this time, he really felt like he was secretly happy because he was wanted, but because the reward amount was too high.
Cen Qiaofu looked at this scene and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"You continue."
Xu Xiaoshou immediately stopped smiling.
He knew that the old woodcutter must have something more important to say in the next "but".
And indeed.
Cenqiaofu didn't come here to praise anyone. His expression suddenly turned grim as he spoke.
"It is true that being famous all over the world can make people chuckle, but it also means that you have been seen by the higher-ups of the Holy Temple, while you are still so weak."
Xu Xiaoshou's face froze, and he finally realized the true intention of the other party's words.
Cen Qiaofu sneered: "You are born to be able to play with the red-clothed throne and kill the Tao, and you are still in a 'dark' organization such as the Holy Slave. It is conceivable that this person should be put into the trial in the royal city, or even the trial in the Holy Palace. What great things can be done in the secret realm of the Four Symbols!"
Xu Xiaoshou was keenly aware that something was wrong.
The old woodcutter mentioned the "Four Elephants Secret Realm" too many times.
This seems to be... the same as the "Holy Palace Trial" step that Ba Zunzun has planned for him, which he must not take?
Xu Xiaoshou still remembered that when Bazun Shu said those words, he was still innate, not even at his innate peak.
But theoretically speaking, the Holy Temple can see one's qualifications, and the Eight Masters should be able to see it.
There was no reason for him to feel that he was still at the innate level and unable to break through after such a long time away from the Holy Palace Trial.
At this time, Xu Xiaoshou's thinking suddenly froze.
He thought about it seriously.
It seems that the Eighth Sword Immortal only asked him to participate in the Royal City Trial and the Holy Palace Trial, but did not let him suppress his cultivation?
Suppress cultivation...
This step is just a necessary step for mainland geniuses to enter the Holy Palace.
But for Ba Zunzhen, it doesn't seem to matter whether he suppresses his cultivation or not?
"It seems you have figured something out." Cen Qiaofu picked up the tea cup and gave the young man opposite him enough time to think.
Xu Xiaoshou frowned: "If what you said is really true, and Rao Yaoyao is really forcing me to break through the Grandmaster..."
After hearing this, Cenqiaofu moved the tea cup away from the corner of his lips and immediately interrupted:
"I don't need to lie to you. I can even directly confirm that your breakthrough to Grandmaster was done deliberately by Rao Yaoyao!"
"Because to enter the Royal City Trial and the Holy Palace Trial, you must be under a master. If your cultivation level exceeds the limit, you can find out at once."
"So, as long as the saint slave Xu Xiaoshou, who is innately invincible to the Dao of Killing, breaks through to become a master, he still insists on participating in the trial in the royal city..."
"It's like carrying a banner past the enemy and seeking death!"
Xu Xiaoshou was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He had previously thought that if he broke through to become a master, he would not participate in the Royal City Trial.
Anyway, he has a little sister from Jinzhao's lineage, and it seems that he is still looking for relatives. As long as it is later verified that she is really one of his own and not here to trick others.
Xu Xiaoshou even felt that he could skip the Holy Palace trial and enter the famous Big Goose Lake in the Holy Palace to watch the fat geese playing in the water.
But listen to what the old woodcutter said...
Not only the Holy Temple Hall will participate in the trial if they think they have broken through to become a master.
Ba Zunzhen also felt that he would participate.
At this time, does Xu Xiaoshou himself feel that he should participate?
Xu Xiaoshou fell into deep thought and said for a long time: "What do I understand roughly? The result is not the goal, but the process is what you want?"
Cenjov corrected: "It's not 'you', it's 'us'."
Xu Xiaoshou thought about it and asked sideways: "What will happen in the trial of the royal city, or the trial of the holy palace?"
Cenjov smiled and pointed at the ceiling: "See for yourself!"
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling.
He realized that Cenchov didn't mean to look at the ceiling.
With one "perception", the world outside the first floor in the sky becomes clearer.
above...
Xu Xiaoshou was silent for a moment as he looked at the majestic city in the sky, which was moving much slower.
A void island can be recruited before the trial in the royal city.
Could it be that the Holy Palace Trial is also a big move by the big guys?
"Why should I participate in the Holy Palace Trial?"
Xu Xiaoshou was really curious at this moment, "It doesn't seem necessary, right? The 'Four Symbols Secret Realm' you are talking about is the location of this Holy Palace trial. What's the mystery behind it?"
Cenjov did not reply, but asked: "Why do you want to enter the Holy Palace?"
"I……"
Xu Xiaoshou was speechless for a moment.
He thought of Sang Lao's words.
In the beginning, it was Mr. Sang who gave him this expectation, which made him want to enter the Holy Palace and see the "Big Goose Lake" which has one more word than "Goose Lake".
Later, Sang Lao left, and Bazunzhen accepted this expectation and gave him a chance to enter the Holy Palace and enter this place where saints can be cultivated to practice. Then he can use this springboard to jump to the Guizhe Holy Mountain to save Sang Lao's life. Expectations.
However, is it true that only the Holy Palace can cultivate saints?
Cen Qiaofu smiled and helped Xu Xiaoshou ask the question in his heart: "Do you think that if the chief wanted to train you to become a semi-saint, he would not be able to do it?"
At this moment Xu Xiaoshou was really asked.
If the protagonist of this question was not the Eight Masters, perhaps not only Xu Xiaoshou, but also others would laugh and lament that Cen Qiaofu asked too arrogantly.
However, if it is Ba Zunshu, it seems... there is no problem?
Cen Qiaofu asked again: "Then do you think half-saint is enough? Does the Prime Minister only want to cultivate a semi-saint?"
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned again.
Is half-saint enough?
Guizhe Holy Mountain may have more than one and a half saints.
If he really wants to climb the mountain, the Eight Masters will also climb the mountain, and everyone will find their own place.
How can one Half-Saint be enough?
Cen Qiaofu didn't listen to the answer, but he understood all the answers, and finally asked: "Then how far do you think the leader wants to train you to be...the Holy Emperor?"
There was a buzz, and Xu Xiaoshou's head suddenly went blank.
Holy Emperor...
To be honest, Xu Xiaoshou had never thought about it before this.
He even thought about the word "Holy Emperor" seriously only a handful of times!
