In fact, Long Chen wasn't very interested in the so-called Little Martial God and the Wind Witch. Although others coveted the position of Sacred Martial Emperor, he was more concerned about Han Yunxing. After meeting True Martial Great Emperor, it was time to deal with this matter immediately.
"Speaking of which, some things are very interesting. The number one of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's new generation is called Wang Chen, and the Little Martial God of our True Martial Emperor Palace is called Yang Chen. You have great potential, and your name is Long Chen. Could it be that your talent is outstanding because your name is Chen?"
This was just a coincidence, and there were so many people in the world. The word "Chen" had been used too much, so Long Chen didn't care much about it. However, this Little Martial God Yang Chen had the same name as him, which was also a kind of fate.
Long Chen realized that he was going against a guy with a similar name to him in this life.
While talking, Wenren Xi had already brought Long Chen down to the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda's thirtieth floor. From here on, he didn't need to help Long Chen anymore. He said, "Jingtao is waiting for you on the third floor. Go over there and he will introduce you to your future cultivation and life in Martial God Palace."
"Thank you, Martial Sovereign."
This kind of person who was rarely seen by ordinary people had served Long Chen for so long today. Long Chen was quite grateful. The three Martial Sovereigns were the top figures in the entire True Martial Emperor Palace. When Long Chen first joined True Martial Emperor Palace, he could only look up to such people. Nirvana Tribulation Realm cultivators were also legends.
After speaking, Wenren Xi put down Long Chen and disappeared.
Long Chen descended from True Martial Emperor Road alone. At this time, there were many people on True Martial Emperor Road, but when Long Chen moved alone, not many people noticed him. Each floor was about fifty meters wide. Because of the huge pressure, he couldn't move too fast. It took Long Chen some time to return to the third floor.
The Five Elements Vast Heaven Pagoda had a total of 99 levels. The higher one went, the smaller the space. The first level's diameter was a full 300 miles, and the third level was only a little less.
Sure enough, Wenren Jingtao was waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, he welcomed him with a forthright smile, "Little fellow, greet the Emperor, right?"
Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, where is my Uncle Nangong? I want to see him."
Wenren Jingtao was surprised. This Long Chen was really impatient, looking for Nangong Lie as soon as he came back. He smiled and said, "You're so close to Nangong Lie, of course I thought about it. The third floor is our base, and Nangong Lie lives here too. I arranged for you to stay next to him. Come with me."
Wenren Jingtao looked rough, but he was quite meticulous in his work. Long Chen followed his footsteps and flew forward.
The first level of the Five Elements Vast Heaven Pagoda was empty, but from the second level onwards, it was filled with buildings of all sizes. The area within 150 miles was where the Martial God Palace disciples lived. There weren't many Martial God Palace disciples, so there wasn't a shortage of space.
Wenren Jingtao introduced, "Although the Five Element Clear Sky Pagoda has ninety-nine floors, only the largest first ten floors are where the cultivators settle down. After all, everyone has old people and children in their family. Not all of them can withstand the upper floors. Starting from the tenth floor, the Martial God Palace stores Dao Tools, Immortal Spirits, and Innate Daoist Techniques. More importantly, it is a place to cultivate. The higher you go, the better the effects of cultivation. My Wenren Xi's bloodline usually resides in the third floor."
So that's how it is. Long Chen had thought about this before.
Perhaps only when they were cultivating would they be able to ascend to a higher level of space.
After walking around the vast third level for a while, Wenren Jingtao suddenly said, "May I ask if the Emperor has any intentions of making you the Holy Martial Emperor?"
Wenren Xi had also asked about this. Perhaps it was very important to him. Long Chen nodded and said, "The Emperor has indeed said so, but I need to think about it."
Wenren Jingtao said, "Then think about it carefully. However, I think a man should take on this great responsibility. Along with the responsibility, you will also have great power and benefits. You will have more room for improvement and enviable cultivation resources. At the same time, I remember that every generation of Sacred Martial Emperors can have a supreme treasure. It seems to be a Dao Artifact with eight Dao patterns. It's a super supreme treasure. In the entire Imperial Palace, there are no more than four such treasures. I only know that the three Martial Venerables each have one."
"A medieval Dao Tool with eight Dao patterns."
To be honest, this was indeed something to think about. Among Long Chen's current Dao Tools, the Lingxi Sword had no grade, but it was the most lethal. The God Slaying Sword was very strong, but it was a little slower in leveling up. It only had two Dao patterns. As for the other things, they were nothing. The nine-pattern parchment had already entered his body, and he didn't know where it went.
Therefore, if he could obtain a Dao Artifact with eight Dao patterns, it would be a life-saving item for him.
Wenren Jingtao said, "I don't know what the fourth Dao Tool with eight Dao patterns is, but I've heard that the 99 Golden Demon Imprisonment Columns are actually a set of Dao Tools …"
Long Chen could only sigh at the wonders of the Martial God Palace. The Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda was rumored to be a Dao Tool, and the 99 Golden Demon Imprisonment Columns were also Dao Tools.
As they spoke, they had already returned to their residence. Wenren Jingtao arranged a courtyard for Long Chen. It was very quiet and should be at the periphery of the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda.
"Go in, Nangong is waiting for you inside. From today onwards, you are a disciple of the Martial God Palace. I have already instructed Nangong to tell you all the basic knowledge and things to take note of. You are new here, so settle down first and familiarize yourself with the environment. If there is any news, I will look for you."
Long Chen nodded. After thanking Wenren Jingtao, he left first. Long Chen walked in eagerly and found Nangong Lie sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, drinking wine. When he saw Long Chen, he revealed a helpless smile. It seemed that Han Yunxing's accident was a huge blow to him.
"Greetings, Zhenwu Great Emperor. How do you feel?" Nangong Lie smiled, but his smile was somewhat bitter. It was different from his usual carefree manner.
Long Chen sat down beside him and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Tell me, what happened to Uncle Han? He has been missing for so long, and he might have met with some mishap. We have to discuss a way to save him as soon as possible."
Seeing Long Chen so enthusiastic, Nangong Lie was very gratified. He started to calm down and recalled what had happened. He went straight to the point and said to Long Chen, "Speaking of which, there is only one clue left."
"What is it?"
Long Chen looked calm, but his heart was burning with anger. Han Yunxing was an elder he respected. If someone had caused any mishap to happen to him, no matter who that person was, Long Chen would definitely make that person die a horrible death.
"Based on Old Han's character, he has always been a sentimental person, unlike me, who doesn't take women seriously. Because of his previous relationship, he has lost interest in relationships. However, some time ago, I suddenly found that he was quite close to a little girl, who is also a member of Wushen Palace. She is very young, lively, and cute, which is very different from Old Han's age. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything between the two of them. They once went out to perform a mission and came back about a month ago. Old Han was a little strange. I had already fallen in love with him, but it didn't seem to be as simple as I thought. He seemed to be a little emotional during those days. I asked him a few times, but he didn't answer me. Then one day, he disappeared. I don't know if he left Wushen Palace without saying goodbye or met with a mishap. Therefore, I think that girl called 'Fu Ling' er 'is the only clue."
Long Chen sorted out his thoughts. If Han Yunxing wanted to leave the Wushen Palace, he would definitely tell Nangong Lie so that Nangong Lie would not be so worried. Given Uncle Han's character, he would not leave without saying goodbye. So something must have happened. He asked, "What has this girl called Fu Ling 'er been doing recently?"
Nangong Lie knew that Long Chen was smarter than him, so he got to the point immediately. He said, "I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I heard that this Fu Ling 'er seems to be under house arrest by her father. She can't go out all day. I can't see her even if I want to …"
"Is that so …" Long Chen thought for a while and asked, "Who is this Fu Ling 'er's father?"
Nangong Lie replied, "He is a Cambrian King of the Cambrian Palace."
"Tell me more about the Cambrian Palace."
Long Chen had heard of the Cambrian Palace when he was in the Three Thousand Palaces. It was a big law enforcement organization of the Wushen Palace. The First Supreme Elder actually came from the Cambrian Palace.
Nangong Lie said, "The Hall of Cold Martial is the law enforcement organization of the Martial God Palace, and they are in charge of the punishment of the Martial God Palace. They have always been impartial. The Hall of Cold Martial has a Hall Master, who is at the late stage of the third layer of the Nirvana Tribulation. There are three Vice Hall Masters, who are all at the early stage of the third layer of the Nirvana Tribulation. Below the Hall Master are ten Kings of Cold Martial, who are all at the early stage of the second layer of the Nirvana Tribulation. Some are at the early stage, and some are at the late stage. Below the Kings are fifty Generals of Cold Martial, who are all at the Hall of Cold Martial. Although there are not many of them, they are all at the Nirvana Tribulation realm and have great power.
"Fu Ling 'er's father is also one of the Cambrian Kings. He is in the second stage of the Nirvana Tribulation Realm."
Long Chen frowned slightly. The current him was still not a match for a second stage Nirvana Tribulation expert. The gap between each stage of the Nirvana Tribulation realm was very big, even between the early and late stages of the Nirvana Tribulation realm.
