Even the Ninth Brother, King Xiaoyao, didn't know what the current Palace of Fortune was like. After all, his real body died in battle, leaving only this avatar behind to guard this place and search for fated people.
It had been too long, so long that he had lost track of time. He only remembered that the last time someone came here to train was thirty million years ago.
As time passed, the power of King Xiaoyao's avatar gradually weakened. Therefore, he needed to sleep for a long time.
But this time, he was pleasantly surprised when he woke up. He didn't expect Fang Chen to pass the test. More importantly, he was able to use his own strength to condense Heart Force.
This meant …
He didn't need anyone's guidance to be able to enter the door of spiritual cultivation. In the entire Palace of Fortune, his talent was outstanding.
The Palace of Fortune specialized in Heart Force. Most of the cultivators in the Palace were spiritual cultivators. Only a small number of them cultivated martial arts.
Spiritual cultivation was the most difficult. Especially when it came to condensing Heart Force. This was a natural threshold. Since ancient times, countless geniuses had been stuck at this threshold.
But anyone who could condense Heart Force and master it would definitely become a spiritual cultivator in the future.
He remembered that before the destruction of the Primordial World, the First Disciple of the Palace of Fortune had condensed Heart Force on his own. After joining the Palace of Fortune, with the help of countless cultivation resources, he finally took the final step and became a spiritual cultivator. His combat strength was second only to the Palace Lord.
Of course, these memories were far too distant.
When the Primordial World was destroyed, the First Disciple seemed to have died.
Thinking of this, King Xiaoyao's expression darkened. So many of his fellow disciples were dead. What was the point of him living?
"Ninth Brother, what's wrong?" Fang Chen saw King Xiaoyao's desolate expression and asked.
King Xiaoyao shook his head hard and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I've lived for countless years. From the Primordial World until now, I've long disregarded life and death. The only reason this avatar of mine still exists is to find the Palace of Fortune. Therefore, I can't have any distracting thoughts."
Even if all his fellow disciples died, even if the Palace Lord fell, as long as he was still breathing, the Palace of Fortune would still exist.
Weng!
A layer of light appeared on King Xiaoyao's body as a frightening Heart Force vibrated around him. When Fang Chen saw this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He could clearly sense that the Ninth Brother's Heart Force was much stronger than his.
"Is this Ninth Brother's heartforce?"
Fang Chen was shocked. In comparison, his own heartforce was equivalent to a human infant. As for the Ninth Brother's heartforce, it was like he was in the prime of his life. They were on completely different levels.
"Junior Brother."
After a long while, King Xiaoyao's heartforce gradually dissipated. His face was ruddy, and he smiled at Fang Chen. "After sleeping for so many years, my brain has become a bit rusty. My conversation with you just now allowed me to gain new insights, allowing me to make another breakthrough in my heartforce. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."
"Ninth Brother …"
Just as Fang Chen was about to speak, he was interrupted by King Xiaoyao. The latter said, "You must never reveal your identity as a disciple of the Palace of Fortune to outsiders. Otherwise, you will bring death upon yourself."
Moreover, he mentioned that Fang Chen was only an Inner Disciple. He had to go through many tests before he could become an Inner Disciple.
Once he became an Inner Disciple, he would be given more resources.
"Alright, I have told you everything I need to tell you about the Palace of Fortune. As for the specifics, you will know in the future. You have become an Inner Disciple, so you should be given something by the Sect. However, due to the current situation of the Palace of Fortune, I cannot contact anyone else in the Sect. My own resources are also limited, so I cannot give you much."
Finished speaking.
The Ninth Brother, King Xiaoyao, waved his hand. Instantly, an illusory image appeared in mid-air. On the image, there were three items.
"You can choose any two of these three items. Of course, if you don't need them, I will convert them to Spiritual Liquid according to the market price."
Spiritual Liquid was once the currency of the Primordial World. All cultivators used Spiritual Liquid for transactions.
Furthermore, Spiritual Liquid had another function, which was to aid in cultivation. Even though the Primordial World was broken, the Three Thousand Worlds of the Great Path was still a product of the Primordial World. The common currency was still Spiritual Liquid. It was just that Spiritual Liquid had become rarer and more precious.
Fang Chen had some understanding of this.
"The first item is an axe."
King Xiaoyao introduced the three treasures to Fang Chen. The first item was a blood-red axe. It looked very ordinary, but when Fang Chen used his Inner Force, he could feel that it was not ordinary. He could even feel that there was a summoning force coming from the axe.
"I believe you have also noticed that there is Inner Force within the axe. It can resonate with our own Inner Force."
King Xiaoyao said, "This is also the reason why this axe is so precious. It is called the Sky Splitting Axe. It was once used by an Elder in the Palace of Fortune. Back then, he used his own strength to split open a planet. Hence, it was called the Sky Splitting Axe."
"Of course, the axe has long lost its spirituality. However, for us Spiritual Cultivators, it is extremely rare. As long as we can completely awaken the Inner Force within the axe and merge it with our own Inner Force, the axe's grade will be restored. When that time comes, you will be able to defeat the Supremes."
Hearing this, Fang Chen's heart trembled.
A single axe could allow him to defeat the Supremes. Wasn't this axe too heaven-defying?
Furthermore, the Inner Force within the axe was very compatible with Spiritual Cultivators. He immediately made his decision and chose this axe.
"Good, you have good taste."
Then, King Xiaoyao introduced the second treasure to Fang Chen. This was a blood-red metal plate. There were complicated carvings on it. It was a defensive equipment. "This blood-red metal plate is called the Blood Coagulation Plate. Its defensive capabilities are very strong. If you use it now, you can defend against an attack from a top Supremes."
The reason why it was called the Blood Coagulation Plate was because when one's blood was injected into the plate, it could quickly condense the blood into essence. Then, it would feed back into one's body. This would allow one to connect with the Blood Coagulation Plate and provide endless defensive capabilities.
"Do you choose?"
After introducing the Blood Coagulation Plate, King Xiaoyao asked.
Out of the three treasures, he could only choose two. If he chose the Blood Coagulation Plate, then he couldn't choose the third one.
Fang Chen really wanted it, but after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Ninth Brother, why don't you introduce the third treasure to me first?"
It wouldn't be too late for him to make a decision after listening.
King Xiaoyao looked at Fang Chen with admiration, "This third treasure, strictly speaking, is not a treasure. It is a promise."
