425: Chapter 425 Exploring the Temple

"Alright, stop crying."

"No, I want to cry! You're bullying me!"

"Waaaah~~"

The Elf Divine Envoy cried even louder.

"Hmph~"

Xiao Weiqing's expression hardened, his gaze cold and sharp.

"..."

Seeing this, the Elf Divine Envoy quickly stopped, though her nose was still twitching as she said weakly:

"Don't, don't kill me..."

"I won't kill you, but you have to prove your worth, understand?" Xiao Weiqing narrowed his eyes.

"I understand, I'm useful."

Xiao Weiqing nodded and pointed at Lingshen Peak in mid-air, saying, "You said before that the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy closed the path to Cultivating the Divine Soul. Can you reopen it?"

As soon as he said this,

Xie Zhiyuan and Dongfang Baichen both looked toward the Elf Divine Envoy. Since this concerned the fate of Great Xia and the entire Blue Star, they were also very eager to know.

"Um... I should be able to."

"What do you mean 'should'?" Xiao Weiqing's face showed his displeasure.

"I know the method, but my strength isn't as great as the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's. It might take some time."

Xiao Weiqing said, "I can help you."

"No, you aren't an Adikayan."

"You aren't even human and you can do it, so why can't I?"

"..."

The Elf Divine Envoy puffed out her cheeks, internally furious. 'You're the one who isn't human! Your whole family isn't human!'

"I am a Wood Yang Elf, I belong to the Human Race," the Elf Divine Envoy weakly retorted.

"Fine, you can be whatever you want. I'm asking you, how long will it take?"

The Elf Divine Envoy thought for a moment and replied, "Half a year."

"How long?"

Xiao Weiqing's voice suddenly rose. The Yao Race demigods could invade at any moment, and Blue Star desperately needed to increase its strength. Cultivating a Divine Soul was essential for entering the Ninth Realm; even the most ordinary Divine Soul would still be at the Ninth Realm.

"Five months?"

The Elf Divine Envoy asked tentatively.

"Are you trying to haggle with me?" Xiao Weiqing grew angry.

"Three months! Three months, alright?"

Boom~~

ten thousand calamities appeared in Xiao Weiqing's hand, and the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame overflowed, igniting the blade.

"One month! I'll reopen the path to Divine Soul cultivation in one month!"

The Elf Divine Envoy squeezed her eyes shut and shouted. Feeling the scorching aura, her two small hands couldn't stop trembling, truly afraid that Xiao Weiqing would strike her down.

"Good, I'll give you one month."

"If you do a good job, I'll buy you candy."

Seeing that the Elf Divine Envoy didn't seem to be faking, Xiao Weiqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Senior Dongfang, find someone to watch her and make sure she doesn't slack off."

"Alright."

Hearing this, the Elf Divine Envoy let out a cold hmph, but as soon as she saw Xiao Weiqing looking at her, she immediately turned her head away.

"Let's go take a look at the Divine Hall."

"By the way, Elf Divine... do you have a name?"

"My master used to call me Xiao Yin."

"Fine, Xiao Yin. Let me ask you, what's the deal with those Mechanical Lifeforms inside the Divine Hall?"

"They were all controlled. After the Powerhouses at the Star Lord Realm and above fell, they were no longer under control and went on a rampage. You should have seen them on the Star Dome."

"As for the ones in the Divine Hall, they should be controlled by the Azure Dragon Divine... Litart."

Xiao Weiqing nodded upon hearing this and asked again, "Is there any danger inside the Divine Hall?"

"What kind of danger?"

The Elf Divine Envoy asked back.

"Like mechanisms, traps, and things like that."

"How could there be? Most Divine Hall civilizations are places of Legacy. There are only treasures; why would there be mechanisms or traps? You've watched too many movies."

"..."

Xiao Weiqing's eyes widened slightly, and the Elf Divine Envoy immediately shut her mouth, hiding behind Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu. She felt that only this girl harbored no ill will toward her.

"Can I enter all areas of the Divine Hall?"

"I saw many rooms that couldn't be opened."

"You need to have authorization."

"What authorization?"

"Authorization to enter!"

The Elf Divine Envoy spoke as if it were obvious, while inwardly speechless. 'Is this person's brain not working right?'

"Who has authorization?"

Xiao Weiqing said through gritted teeth.

"Litart."

"He's dead."

"I know, you killed him," the Elf Divine Envoy said.

Xiao Weiqing's gaze darkened, on the verge of an outburst.

Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu smiled and said, "Xiao Yin, what Xiao Weiqing means is, who else has authorization? Or, is there any other way for us to enter?"

"I don't know."

"The Divine Hall isn't under my jurisdiction. I haven't even been there many times."

Xiao Weiqing shot a glare at the Elf Divine Envoy and turned to leave, intending to explore the Divine Hall and find out for himself.

Xie Zhiyuan and Dongfang Baichen followed closely behind.

Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu waved to the Elf Divine Envoy and followed them as well.

...

Azure Dragon Island.

The highest peak.

A Divine Hall stood tall here, and four figures quickly descended.

Xiao Weiqing did not enter the main hall directly, but first went to a side hall on the left.

This was the place where Innate Skills were stored.

Xiao Weiqing led the three of them into the hall with practiced ease.

This place was not unfamiliar to Xie Zhiyuan; he had been here before. As for Dongfang Baichen, he hadn't been here in the past due to certain reasons, so he was quite curious.

Xiao Weiqing skillfully operated the virtual interface and searched for some Innate Skills. Finding that none were missing, he felt relieved.

Although he no longer looked highly upon these Innate Skills, they were, after all, his spoils of war.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the Divine Hall."

Xiao Weiqing quickened his pace and walked toward the main hall.

Since even a side hall stored tens of thousands of Innate Skills, it wasn't hard to guess that there would definitely be good things in the main hall.

Not only did Xie Zhiyuan and Dongfang Baichen look expectant, but even Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu was the same.

She was even wondering what kind of treasures would be inside the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall if it were conquered.

The four of them entered the main hall.

The space inside the hall was immense, over several hundred meters high. Murals of giants were carved on the ceiling, seemingly recording a war.

At the end of the hall.

Before them was a giant statue, nearly five meters tall. No matter how many years had passed, the statue was still lifelike.

The giant had horns on its head and was clad in dark red armor. At its waist was a thick, broad saber as tall as the giant itself, just like the giant Xiao Weiqing had seen in the depths of the Azure Dragon Trial Grounds on the Star Dome.

If the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy hadn't lied, the one before them was the Azure Dragon Star Lord.

Without lingering for too long,

Xiao Weiqing and the others continued deeper in.

"This way."

Xiao Weiqing led the way to a metal door carved with unknown runes. The door was ten meters high and four meters wide.

Previously, when he was controlling the Nirvana Warriors to search for the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, this door could not be opened.

One must know.

The power of a Ninth Realm Nirvana Warrior was not something an ordinary person could compare to. Xiao Weiqing estimated that in the entire Blue Star, one couldn't find ten people whose strength was greater than a Ninth Realm Nirvana Warrior.

But even so,

The door still couldn't be pushed open.

Xiao Weiqing stepped forward, pressed his hand against the door, and pushed hard.

The door didn't budge an inch.

"Hah~"

With a low growl, Xiao Weiqing used all his strength. The door frame trembled slightly and creaked, but the door still didn't open.

"This sturdy?"

Xiao Weiqing panted slightly and gave up.

A cold light flashed in his hand as ten thousand calamities appeared, ready to use brute force to break through.

Since Xiao Yin said there were no traps or mechanisms in the Divine Hall, there was naturally no need to hold back.
