“Of course not. If you seniors don’t believe me, you can test it on the spot.”

Ye Xiao spoke with a firm expression.

He knew that these heroic spirits of the emperors definitely had a way to re-activate the dragon vein. However, they had already put in all their effort for the Nine Provinces, so they no longer had the strength to put in any more effort for the Nine Provinces. It was tiring!

What he needed to do now was to give them that strength.

The strength that came from confidence and courage!

Some of the Emperor realm heroic spirits had already begun to flicker, just like the breathing of a human becoming rapid.

“He advanced to the Emperor realm in a year and a half. This speed is even faster than the Ancestor Dragon Emperor!”

“Could he be the chosen one in the last words of Ancestor Xuan Yuan?”

“If that’s the case, then he might be the one who unravels the secrets of our ancestor!”

The heroic spirits became more and more excited as they spoke, and their eyes lit up.

After a long while, one of the emperors finally spoke,

“This Emperor’s Spirit Stele was actually created by our ancestor with his own blood essence. It contains the essence of ancestor Xuan Yuan’s divine blood.

“It has two functions. One is to collect the souls of the Emperor realm martial arts experts who have sacrificed their lives for the Xuan Yuan descendants so that our souls can be immortal and will not dissipate between heaven and earth.

“The other function is to be a test.

“In the Emperor’s Spirit Stele, there is a god technique left behind by the ancestor! If your aptitude is really monstrous enough to meet the requirements of the ancestor, this Emperor’s Spirit Stele will recognize your identity and pass this god technique to you.

“If you can obtain this god technique, it means that there is still hope for the Nine Provinces. There is also hope for the ancestor’s will to be resolved.”

Ye Xiao did not expect that there was actually a god technique left in the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

However, at that moment, he was not very concerned about the god technique. What he cared about was the dragon vein.

“Seniors, in other words, if I can obtain this god technique and pass the test, you will tell me how to repair the Nine Provinces’ dragon vein, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Alright! It’s a deal!”

Thinking up to that point, Ye Xiao immediately withdrew his mind from the Emperor’s Spirit Stele and began to come into contact with the Xuan Yuan divine blood in the Emperor’s Spirit Stele to accept the test.

He used his mental strength, soul strength, and blood essence to separately come into contact with the stone stele to sense the power in it.

In the Emperor’s Spirit Stele, the heroic spirits of the various emperors began to gather nervously when they saw this scene.

“Will this brat succeed?”

“No one can say for sure. Ever since the fall of Ancestor Xuan Yuan, countless heroes have tried to pass the test of the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

“But who has succeeded?

“Even the top geniuses of the human race have all failed.”

“That’s hard! Back then, even Emperor Ancestral Dragon didn’t pass the test. Unless this brat used a cheat, it’s impossible for him to pass the test.”

“But what if he succeeded?”

One of the Emperor realm heroic spirits spoke in silence, and the souls of the other emperors trembled.

A moment later, the expressions of the emperors became firm.

“If he succeeds, then we must give our all to support him.”

“The past human emperors pursued two missions in their lives. One was the last wish left behind by the ancestors of the human race, and the other was to protect the descendants of the Nine Provinces’ Xuan Yuan.

“We have already waited for too long. When our wills are worn down, even the human race is too lazy to protect them.

“If this child still can not pass the ancestor’s test, then we really have no need to care about the human race anymore. We will obediently spend the following days in this Emperor’s Spirit Stele until the Emperor’s Spirit Stele is completely annihilated. Let us be annihilated along with the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.”

At that moment, the various monarchs could already feel Ye Xiao beginning to come into contact with the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

He first used his soul power to come into contact with the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… Tens of seconds passed, and the emperor’s minds also became somewhat frozen.

In the end, Ye Xiao still withdrew his soul power.

The various emperors let out a faint sigh.

“Did the soul power fail? Did it fail?”

At that moment, Ye Xiao was not appeased. Instead, he used his second type of power, the blood essence power, to come into contact with the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

Time once again passed second by second. After tens of seconds, the blood essence power was also declared a failure.

At that moment, the various emperors no longer held any thoughts.

One had to know that the two best methods to accept the Emperor’s Spirit Stele’s test were soul power and blood essence. Those two better methods were useless, and the other methods basically did not have much hope.

As expected, when Ye Xiao used his spiritual energy to come into contact with the Emperor’s Spirit Stele, in the end, they all ended in failure.

“Sigh! It was all for nothing.”

“I thought I’d finally met the legendary chosen one.”

“What a pity. In a year and a half, I stepped into the Emperor realm. In the end, it was still useless.”

Ye Xiao naturally heard their words, but he did not give up.

Perhaps, he could use his divine soul to try it out.

The Golden Book divine soul was an existence that had always supported him. It was precisely because he had the Golden Book divine soul that his strength had become so powerful.

Its existence was quite heaven-defying. Perhaps, it might have some method.

Thinking up to that point, Ye Xiao took a deep breath and directly began to activate the Golden Book divine soul to use it to communicate with the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

Originally, those Emperor realm heroic spirits in the Emperor’s Spirit Stele had already given up hope. Some of the Emperor realm heroic spirits even prepared to return to their positions to hibernate.

However, at that moment, an incident suddenly occurred.

On the Emperor’s Spirit Stele, a golden light suddenly flourished. Along with the sound of thunder exploding in the air, the entire Emperor’s Spirit Stele began to move intensely.

Rays of golden light began to appear in the air and then condensed. They were the divine blood of the Xuan Yuan ancestor.

The emperors turned pale with fright. Those who were about to leave also stopped in their tracks and turned around to look at this unbelievable scene.

“This… This… The Emperor’s Spirit Stele is reacting!”

“5,000 years! It’s been 5,000 years! The Emperor’s Spirit Stele is finally reacting!”

“Ancestor, please bless us. The chosen one of our Xuan Yuan clan has finally appeared!”

Some of the Emperor realm heroic spirits had already started to shout excitedly. Some of the heroic spirits’ eyes had already become hazy with a layer of fluorescent light. There were even some heroic spirits who immediately began to kneel down and pray to their ancestors.

The divine blood continued to gather and form. In the end, it actually broke through the Emperor’s Spirit Stele and entered Ye Xiao’s body without stopping.

After obtaining the divine blood, the power in Ye Xiao’s body suddenly increased explosively. The spiritual energy began to circulate crazily, continuously refining the divine blood and increasing his own strength.

As the divine blood entered his body, the sound of thunder produced from within Ye Xiao’s body.

That was his strength increasing. His physical body and soul were becoming stronger!

A little bird flew over from afar and quietly landed on Ye Xiao’s shoulder, who was cultivating.

Roar!

Suddenly, an earth-shattering dragon roar came from Ye Xiao’s body and instantly blasted the little bird into pieces. Even the blood mist did not form.

That dragon roar was another protective dragon energy formed in Ye Xiao’s body.

It was refined from a vast amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy.

King Zhou once said that only by gathering the true 108 dragon energy could one have the chance to advance to that realm.

Ye Xiao only had one stream of dragon energy previously. He did not expect that after obtaining the divine blood of the Xuan Yuan ancestor, he would actually form a second stream of dragon energy!

No, the dragon roar was not over yet. Following that, there was a second, third, and fourth… Only when it reached the seventh and formed seven streams of body-protecting dragon energy did the dragon roar in Ye Xiao’s body slowly stop.

At that moment, including the one that Ye Xiao formed when he entered the Emperor realm, he already had a total of eight protective dragon energy.

That meant that Ye Xiao’s strength had also increased greatly compared to before!

After the divine blood was completely refined and absorbed by Ye Xiao, there was an additional cultivation technique in Ye Xiao’s Golden Book.

It was exactly what the heroic spirits of the various emperors had said, the god technique that was sealed in the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

It was a god-slaying sword technique, Earth’s Rift!

It was actually a sword technique that complemented the sword art that he had obtained previously. Furthermore, it was not a god technique of the same origin.

In other words, it could merge with the Heaven-cleaving Sword and form an existence that was even more advanced than a god technique.

Ye Xiao was overjoyed. He did not expect that he would actually obtain such great benefits from coming to the Emperor’s Spirit Stele.

His strength had greatly increased. The protective dragon energy in his body had increased from one to eight, and he had even obtained a god-slaying sword technique.

He had practically earned a fortune.

When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to discover that all the heroic spirits of the emperors had already come out from the Emperor’s Spirit Stele and were smiling at him.

“Seniors?”

Ye Xiao was slightly confused.

A handsome emperor wearing armor smiled and said,

“You’ve passed the test of the Emperor’s Spirit Stele. It’s time for us to fulfill our promise.”

Ye Xiao was overjoyed, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said,

“What exactly is the method to activate the dragon vein?”

The long-faced emperor from before spoke again,

“Destroying the dragon vein is to cut off the dragon energy within them. That is the foundation of the dragon vein.

“Now, if we want to re-activate the dragon veins, we naturally need the dragon energy to do so.

“Although we heroic souls are just little soul dregs and have no use, the dragon energy from when we were alive is still lingering in our soul bodies.”

Ye Xiao’s pupils constricted. He had already thought of something. The method to activate the dragon veins was to let those seniors sacrifice their souls and completely turn them into dragon energy, fusing into the dragon veins and becoming their core and then activating the dragon veins.

However, from then on, they would completely turn into ashes.

He was just about to speak when, in the next second, an emperor dressed in a black and red dragon robe raised his hand and said,

“Child, there’s no need for you to say anything more. This is our own wish.

“For thousands of years, we have always been fulfilling the last wishes of our ancestors in the future. On one hand, we take care of the human race, and on the other hand, we search for the mystery that our ancestors asked us to search for.

“But this time has been too long, so long that we have been exhausted. Generation after generation, there is no hope to complete it.

“We have long lost hope.

“Today, it is you who has reawakened our blood as the descendants of Xuan Yuan!

“You have let us see hope, so, we must continue to protect the Nine Provinces!”
