Xiaoyaozi slightly raised his palm.
The copper box flew through the air and landed in his hand.
He held the box in one hand and opened the lid with the other.
I want to see what exactly this Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, which contains supreme power, is all about.
Although it was anticipated that it might be difficult to open,
But to everyone's surprise, the copper box opened easily.
The huge box was completely empty!
Indra and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Is the reward for the Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking just an ordinary bronze box?
"Perhaps there's a hidden mechanism?"
The four were experienced and immediately used their respective techniques to break the spell.
However, no matter how they tried, even injecting their true energy, the copper box remained completely still.
What could be the reason?
After several unsuccessful attempts, Xiaoyaozi and the others had no choice but to give up and turn their attention to Qiao Feng and Li Qinglu.
Li Qinglu quickly explained:
"I don't know either. I haven't dared to open it since I got it."
Knowing full well the dangers of possessing a treasure, she didn't even have the courage to glance at it.
Qiao Feng frankly told him:
"I also tried to open it when I got the bronze box."
Like many of you, I believe there's more to this than meets the eye.
"On the way back, I tried more than sixty methods, but there was still no response."
Given Qiao Feng's character, these words clearly indicate that there is something strange about the bronze box.
Xiaoyaozi closed the box, still puzzled, and turned to Eryue to ask:
"February, do you know the secret of this bronze box?"
As the head of the Qinglong Society's intelligence department, Er Yue's knowledge was second only to Ximen Yu.
February recalled:
"The Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions are said to be a powerful force sealed by King Wen of Zhou."
"King Wu of Zhou once used this to seize the world, but later, to prevent the power from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives..."
"He ordered Jiang Ziya to divide it into seven parts and entrust them to seven different people for safekeeping."
"Given the current situation, there are only two possibilities:"
"Either all seven items must be collected to unlock the seal, or a specific custodian or their successor is required to open it."
Since the appearance of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, February has been dedicated to collecting relevant information, even though some secrets are hidden deep within the Qin Dynasty's palace.
Although the information was not fully collected, he had already obtained most of it.
Compared to other forces, this information is quite comprehensive.
Based on these clues, new inferences were drawn in February.
"I see."
Xiaoyaozi and the others looked relaxed.
"In that case, let's send this bronze box to the Divine Weapon Hall for safekeeping."
Since the mysteries of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions cannot be deciphered in time, the Fang Ri Tu bronze box naturally needs to be properly placed.
The Divine Weapon Hall is located at the summit of Azure Dragon Peak and is dedicated to storing all kinds of divine weapons and artifacts.
An elite squad is stationed inside the hall, guarding it day and night.
The copper box is safe and secure when stored here!
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng picked up the bronze box and was about to turn and leave.
"Wait a minute! Master Qiao, what are your thoughts on that sword strike?"
This matter remains of utmost concern to Indra.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone understood perfectly well—
He was asking about the celestial sword that broke through the void from the Sword Realm, which was located on the northern border of Western Xia.
Qiao Feng laughed loudly:
"The power of that sword strike is beyond my comprehension given my cultivation level."
"But this realization has made me need to retreat into seclusion for meditation."
"When I emerge from seclusion, my strength will surely have improved."
Experiencing Ximen Yu's sword strike up close, Qiao Feng clearly sensed—
Within the blade lies a hidden essence of swordsmanship!
Although he specializes in boxing, which is different from swordsmanship.
But this wisp of sword intent still brought him sudden enlightenment.
If it weren't for his duties, he would have already gone into seclusion to seek a breakthrough.
Indra was speechless for a moment.
Chapter 166 Western Regions
Recalling how Li Bai had suddenly gained enlightenment from a single word,
Could it be that Qiao Feng, who was personally rescued by the Great Dragon King,
Is he also a peerless genius like Li Bai?
Truly admirable...
313 What is the name of this sword?
After Qiao Feng left, Di Shitian and Binghuang also turned to take their leave.
He needs to summon his former generals and judges to join the Ice Emperor on his journey to the Western Regions of Yunzhou.
This trip to Dragon's Roar Cave is one of absolute certainty!
After all, the rewards for the Azure Dragon Society's missions are always generous.
Now, he yearns to go even further.
Ximen Yu's level of attainment is something I can hardly hope to reach in this lifetime.
But the one who beat him so badly he vomited blood and was seriously injured back then...
The person who almost exhausted the essence of the phoenix—
That nemesis named "Yu",
He vowed to avenge his previous humiliation!
He never even considered looking for him.
After a thousand years of cultivation, he was no match for a young man in his early twenties.
Before Ximen Yu appeared, this person was always a lingering shadow in his heart.
But now, he has an opportunity to go even further.
As long as enough tasks are completed.
The Great Dragon Head will surely teach him "523" to help him defeat that person.
After Emperor Shitian left, Zhang Sanfeng also prepared to go into seclusion for meditation.
His busy schedule these past few days has caused his cultivation to stagnate.
"Seven Dragon Heads, if what February said is true—"
"There are seven custodians of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon. Who are they, or their descendants?"
Although Xiaoyaozi had already sent out the Fang Ritu bronze box, he was still pondering the matter.
"Four dragon heads, that's not a difficult problem."
After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the land was divided into seven kingdoms—
"Qi, Chu, Yan, Qin, Zhao, Han, Wei."
"The Qin Dynasty was the former Qin state."
"South of Xianyang City lies Haojing, the ancient capital of the Zhou Dynasty."
Therefore, the Qin state was very likely one of the custodians.
Although Zhang Sanfeng devoted himself to Taoist cultivation, he also had considerable insight into the general situation of the world.
After joining the Azure Dragon Society, he had access to a vast amount of books and information.
My knowledge and understanding are now far superior to what they were before.
"Indeed! The secrets of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations that I obtained all originated from the secret collection of the Qin Dynasty palace."
February looked at Zhang Sanfeng with admiration in her eyes.
"In that case, there is a record of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon within the territory of the Great Qin."
"Adding Lord Huoyu makes two portions."
"Another copy is in the possession of Shen Bijun of the Song Dynasty."
Where are the remaining three portions?
"Who are the other six custodians or their descendants?"
Xiaoyaozi pondered and discussed with the two.
"Why are the four dragon heads so concerned about the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon?"
The Water God Ancestor looked slightly puzzled.
"The Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking also mentions this as an astonishing power."
"It was also created by King Wen of Zhou."
"Even if the Great Dragon Head were here, he would not be underestimated."
Xiaoyaozi explained simply.
"How about this?"
Zhang Sanfeng suggested.
"There are two places in the Qin Dynasty and one place in the Song Dynasty."
“One person can be sent to the Great Song Dynasty, and the other to the Fire Rain Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty.”
"Perhaps this Lord Fire Rain is one of the seven custodians."
Do you have a suitable candidate?
It was Zhang Sanfeng who recommended Qiao Feng to go to Western Xia last time.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi immediately understood that Zhang Sanfeng had found another suitable candidate.
Zhang Sanfeng slowly announced two names.
"Excellent! Send those two there."
"Remember, the primary objective of this mission is reconnaissance."
