Luo Xiu remained silent, showing no real interest in the secret Jinghong Xuanran had ntioned.
He walked directly to the Black Stele, stopped in front of it, and began to examine it.
All he wanted now was to finish the task quickly and then change out of these won's clothes.
...
Having suffered once from reckless action, Luo Xiu naturally dared not rashly attack the Black Stele again.
At this mont, his heart felt rather troubled, thinking that only such undesirable jobs would fall upon him.
Jinghong Xuanran suddenly asked, "Can you do it or not?"
Luo Xiu ignored her, continuing to stare at the Black Stele.
Since the Stunning Phoenix Emperor had said that only he could break the Stele, it must have countless connections with him.
As ti briefly went by.
Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had discovered sothing on the Black Stele, and he moved closer.
At this mont.
Outside the barrier.
The Stunning Phoenix Immortal turned her head slightly to glance at the side of Jinghong Xuanran's face, saying softly: "Your Majesty, you've been observing for hundreds of years without discerning the profound mysteries on the Stele... Can the Azure Emperor really do it?"
Jinghong Xuanran shook her head gently, saying: "The Taoist prohibitions set by the Stunning Phoenix Emperor are profound and mysterious. Even this flirtatious rogue cannot possibly decipher them in a short ti."
The Stunning Phoenix Immortal seed worried: "But if the object sealed within the Stele cannot be retrieved, once the great calamity descends... what then?"
At this point, Luo Xiu inside the barrier asked: "What exactly is sealed inside the Stele?"
The conversation between the two won outside the barrier was naturally heard by him as well.
Jinghong Xuanran said: "It's the Star-fixing Mace."
"Star-fixing Mace?" Luo Xiu lightly frowned, then asked: "Is this a divine artifact of your Stunning Phoenix Swan State?"
Jinghong Xuanran slowly said: "The Star-fixing Mace itself is just a tool. What I truly desire are the divine patterns imprinted on it."
Luo Xiu asked: "What exactly can those divine patterns do? Can they also counter the great calamity?"
Suddenly a little impatient, Jinghong Xuanran said coldly: "You ask too many questions. Can you first get things done for ?"
"If you can't retrieve the Star-fixing Mace inside, asking more questions wouldn't an anything!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu let out a peculiar laugh, saying: "You want to break open the Stele to retrieve the Star-fixing Mace inside. At the very least, I should have the right to know the truth, right?"
"What if this Star-fixing Mace is a malicious object capable of harming the world? If I release it, won't it be who has to take responsibility by then?"
Jinghong Xuanran's eyes revealed disdain, saying: "Even if it can harm the world, it's not even a tenth as bad as certain emperors."
Luo Xiu smiled, "You might as well report my identity number directly. You're just talking about my past life, right?"
Jinghong Xuanran took a deep breath slowly, appearing impatient, "Can you, as a man, stop being so wishy-washy when doing things? Do as you're told!"
Luo Xiu chuckled, "It's not up to you to set the standards for what kind of man I should be."
"I love being wishy-washy. What's wrong with that? If you have what it takes, break the stele yourself then."
Jinghong Xuanran said coldly: "If I could do it, would I need you?"
Luo Xiu's tone turned slightly grave: "Looks like the tone of the Astonishing Swan Sovereign isn't small! Do you usually speak to those you ask for help in this commanding manner? Spoiled by your subordinates, perhaps?"
"At the end of the day, you're just a master on this small land of Stunning Phoenix Swan. Once outside, you're nothing."
"The reason I'm showing face for you and calling you Empress, holding my temper, is completely because Xi Yue and the others were cared for by you after arriving in the Upper Realm."
Jinghong Xuanran looked at Luo Xiu calmly and said indifferently: "Then, if Xi Yue and the others weren't there, if you didn't show face for , what could you do?"
Luo Xiu shrugged, using a joking tone, "My principle in life is... Whoever provokes , I'll deal with them."
"If Empress Jinghong is confident enough, you can try experiencing what it's like to provoke ."
Jinghong Xuanran was expressionless: "But you've long provoked ."
Luo Xiu half-smiled, "You can try to kill to vent your anger, but I will definitely fight back."
"..."
Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere between them, Lin Xiyue and the Stunning Phoenix Immortal were both extrely anxious.
Lin Xiyue rushed forward, "Luo Xiu, stop talking, and try to find a way to retrieve what's inside the stele..."
"Boom!"
However, before she finished speaking, Luo Xiu casually punched through the Black Stele without even looking.
The air suddenly turned silent.
The three won were all shocked into speechlessness.
The Taoist prohibitions left by the Stunning Phoenix Emperor were broken so easily... It was truly astonishing!
At that mont, the hand Luo Xiu had thrust into the Black Stele abruptly withdrew, bringing out an object.
With a crashing sound.
The entire Black Stele shattered.
Luo Xiu held the Star-fixing Mace, casually slapped away the barrier Jinghong Xuanran had opened, and then walked to Lin Xiyue.
The Stunning Phoenix Immortal hurriedly moved closer, staring intently at the Star-fixing Mace in Luo Xiu's hand, quite excited for a mont.
"Wow... Is this the legendary Star-fixing Mace? Your Majesty, how did you do it?"
Luo Xiu smiled slightly, "Actually, I discovered a while ago that the Taoist prohibitions on the stele follow the 'Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong' thod of conducting Qi, so if I do it in reverse, the Black Stele can be easily broken."
The Stunning Phoenix Immortal gazed at Luo Xiu with eyes full of admiration, "Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong... I heard it was a thod His Majesty used to control the Mysterious Central Sword and Mysterious Central Realm back then."
"His Majesty often used this thod in battle and even converted it into a fist technique, so people nad this fist technique after it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu touched his nose, "You really know a lot."
Actually, this was the first ti he heard the origin of the na 'Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong'.
Jinghong Xuanran appeared beside Luo Xiu without anyone knowing when, and suddenly spoke: "Xi Yue has rged with the Secret Key, so now she needs to master the divine patterns to activate the Secret Key, which in turn summons the Mysterious Central Realm at specific locations."
After a pause, she continued: "Using the Secret Key to summon back the Mysterious Central Realm... is Stunning Phoenix Emperor's will brought back to Stunning Phoenix Swan State by his residual soul after his departure."
Luo Xiu said: "No wonder you went to Heaven Azure Empire to find the Secret Key, and then had retrieve the Star-fixing Mace."
Jinghong Xuanran turned and left, saying slowly: "The great calamity is imminent. Only by summoning back the Mysterious Central Realm and reviving the Ancient Ten Emperors can we resist strong enemies and protect the beings of the Three Thousand Worlds."
