The virtual shadow really couldn't think of any other geniuses who could trigger the 12th level tribulation apart from those geniuses who possessed the True Meaning of Void.
Back then, the appearance of the twelfth-level tribulation had shaken the entire Sword Burial Prefecture.
Countless Profound King Realm experts appeared one after another. Even some old bastards who had been in seclusion for a long time had come out of seclusion.
In short, the twelfth-level tribulation had swept through the Sword Burial Prefecture like a storm.
After the twelfth level of tribulation ended and the curtains fell, numerous Profound King Realm experts swarmed in, wanting to search for that genius.
But they found that genius was nowhere to be seen.
Many Mystic Kings even believed that the person undergoing the tribulation must have died under the twelfth-level tribulation.
Because of this, many Mysterious Kings sighed and expressed their regret.
To be able to draw out the twelfth-level tribulation meant that he would definitely become a heaven-shaking figure in the future. Who would have thought that he would die?
Of course, there were many old bastards who didn't think so. They felt that this matter was unusual. The person undergoing the tribulation hadn't died.
The illusory figure was one of them. He was the master of the Immortal Palace.
The one who came this time was merely a clone condensed from his will.
Originally, the tall and short elders had sent him a transmission saying that a cultivator with the true meaning of the void had appeared. He hadn't thought much of it. He had only been shocked.
However, after seeing Fang Chen, the illusory figure had an answer in his heart.
This person should be the peerless genius who had undergone the twelfth-level tribulation.
"Everyone thought that the person who went through the tribulation had already died in the twelfth tribulation. Who would have thought that this person was in Gold Sword City?" The shadow stared at Fang Chen and muttered to himself.
Fang Chen sank into silence. He didn't reply, but he also didn't deny it.
Fang Chen didn't want to cause any trouble before he knew what the illusory figure's intentions were.
It was as if he could see Fang Chen's apprehension.
The illusory figure smiled. "If I want to kill you, a single thought is enough."
Fang Chen was startled when he heard the words of the illusory figure. He nodded heavily.
The illusory figure had only said that to express to Fang Chen that he didn't have any malice toward Fang Chen. Otherwise, there was no way Fang Chen would be standing here.
"Senior, may I ask who you are?" asked Fang Chen.
Fang Chen knew that this person's strength was definitely heaven-defying.
However, he didn't know who this person was.
"You finally can't help but ask?" laughed the illusory figure.
By saying this, Fang Chen had indirectly admitted that he was the one who had transcended the tribulation.
"Have you heard of the Sword Burial Prefecture's Sword Burial Immortal Palace?" asked the illusory figure.
Fang Chen's eyes twinkled, and then he nodded.
There was probably no one in the Sword Prefecture who hadn't heard of the Sword Immortal Palace.
The Sword Immortal Palace was the highest level of the Sword Prefecture.
It was said that the Sword Burying Immortal Palace was located on a towering mountain peak, but the world had never seen it before.
The Sword Burial Immortal Palace was extremely mysterious, but all the martial artists in the Sword Burial Prefecture paled at the mention of it.
This was because the Sword Burial Immortal Palace was the totem of the Sword Burial Prefecture.
It was said that the Sword Burial Immortal Palace was formed from the heart of the Sword Burial Emperor and was the core of the entire Sword Burial Prefecture.
........... and..........
The Sword Burial Immortal Palace had always existed in legends.
"I am the Sword Burial Immortal Palace's Palace Master," said the illusory figure.
Fang Chen's mind buzzed as he stood in a daze in the void.
Seeing Fang Chen's dazed expression, the illusory figure chuckled mischievously.
Fang Chen's reaction was completely within his expectations.
In the Sword Burial Prefecture, apart from the two elders, anyone who heard the words Sword Burial Immortal Palace's Palace Master would be incomparably shocked.
That was because no one had ever seen the Sword Burial Immortal Palace's Palace Master.
"You!"
Fang Chen's heart was in turmoil.
He had never thought that he would one day meet the legendary Sword Burial Immortal Palace's Palace Master.
"You, are you really the Sword Burial Immortal Palace's Palace Master?" asked Fang Chen, trying his best to suppress his shock.
The illusory figure laughed. "Who would dare to pretend to be the Immortal Palace's Palace Master?"
Fang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, who would dare to pretend to be the Immortal Palace's Palace Master in the Sword Burial Prefecture?
The Sword Burial Immortal Palace was the totem of the Sword Burial Prefecture, and it was formed from the Sword Burial Emperor's heart.
In the Sword Burial Prefecture, the Sword Burial Immortal Palace was incomparably sacred.
As for the Immortal Palace's Palace Master, he was the spiritual leader of the Sword Burial Prefecture. No one would dare to pretend to be him.
Fang Chen stared at the illusory figure with a burning gaze, not saying anything for a long time.
In his heart, he was too shocked.
The Sword Burial Immortal Palace's Palace Master was right in front of him, and he was even talking to him. It was like a dream.
"Now, can you tell me about yourself?" asked the illusory figure.
Fang Chen sorted out his thoughts and said, "Junior is from the Ancient Sword Continent."
Fang Chen told the Palace Master everything about how he had been killed by the Devil Cloud Lian Prefecture, how he had been brought to the Sword Burial Prefecture by the cauldron, and how he had undergone the twelfth tribulation.
Of course, he also hid the fact that he had been refined into a Blood Puppet by the Blood Refinement Monarch.
If the Palace Master learned that he could be revived after being refined into a Blood Puppet, he would definitely inspect his body.
Perhaps his golden heart would be exposed.
Before he had absolute strength, Fang Chen definitely wouldn't let others know about his golden heart.
"So that's how it is." The illusory figure nodded slightly.
"May I ask the Palace Master, who was the founder of the Five Elements Academy? And who was that head in the cauldron?"
These were all questions that Fang Chen had been puzzled by.
Back at the sword arena, Elder Xuan had said that he would know once they reached Sword Burial City.
Now that he had finally met the Palace Master, he naturally had to ask him.
"The founder of the Five Elements Academy was the city master of the Sword Burial Prefecture's Five Elements Sword City," said the illusory figure directly.
"Five Elements Sword City?"
Fang Chen was incomparably shocked. He hadn't expected the first dean of the Five Elements Academy to be from the Sword Burial Prefecture. And his status there was so high.
"Since you came from the Five Elements Academy, you should have cultivated the Five Elements Sword Art, right?" asked the illusory figure.
Fang Chen nodded. The phantom continued, "If you want to enter the Burial Sword City, you have to cultivate one of the city's most powerful martial arts to the Transformation Level. You haven't cultivated the Ancient Golden Invincible Sword Art yet, and the Five Elements Sword Art is one of the ways. If you have time, go to the Five Elements Sword City and get the general outline of the Five Elements Sword Art. Cultivate the Five Elements Sword Art to the Transformation Level as quickly as possible, then come to the Burial Sword City."
"Many thanks for the pointers, Palace Master." Fang Chen cupped his hands in thanks.
"Your potential is extraordinary. You've already crossed twelve tribulations. In the entire Sword Burial Prefecture, you're the only one with the highest chance of obtaining the Sword Emperor's approval," said the illusory figure excitedly.
The reason the Palace Master had chosen Fang Chen was because he had crossed twelve tribulations. That was a world-shaking achievement. It was very likely that he would obtain the Sword Emperor's approval.
Ever since the Sword Emperor had fallen, no one had been able to obtain the Sword Emperor's approval.
"Sword Burial City has an extremely powerful seal. Even I can't easily take action. If you want to enter Sword Burial City, you have to rely on yourself." A jade pendant appeared in the illusory figure's hand and he handed it to Fang Chen.
"If your life is in danger, crush the jade pendant." The illusory figure instantly vanished.
However, before the illusory figure disappeared, a voice entered Fang Chen's ears.
"The owner of the sword token was one of the Profound King commanders of the Sword Burial Prefecture in the past."
Fang Chen's heart trembled when he heard that.
He looked at the jade pendant with a burning gaze before carefully putting it into his spatial ring.
Crash.
After the illusory figure left, Fang Chen appeared in the air.
"Kid, you're not bad. You've obtained the Palace Master's approval. I hope you work hard," said the tall elder with a smile.
"When we first met you in the Ancient Sword Continent, we felt that you had an extraordinary bearing. We weren't wrong about you," said the short man with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the two seniors that I was able to meet the Palace Master," said Fang Chen modestly.
"Kid, you don't have to be modest. Hurry up and go back to cultivate," said the tall elder with a wave of his hand.
"Yeah. When you arrive at Sword Burial City, come find us," said the short man.
After that, the two of them instantly disappeared.
Fang Chen looked at the edge of Sword Burial City in front of him. The shock in his heart didn't dissipate for a long time.
All the mysteries were gradually unraveled.
The first dean of the Five Elements Academy, the head in the three-legged, two-eared cauldron … Fang Chen knew the identities of these people one by one.
