Chapter 1504: Chapter 1458: Obtaining the Great Formation, the Great Battle is about to Begin! (Extra for Xiao Yuyu)

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, seemingly with a stirring of energy, and soon the elderly man approached Xiao Chen again, staring straight at him once more.

"A Cross-Border Array, one need not say how precious it is as it’s passed down from our ancestors in Tang Gao Ancient Clan. If it gets damaged while on loan to you, you’ll have nowhere to cry, and a fair exchange is impossible!"

"May I ask what is the bottom line of your esteemed clan?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen had no choice but to boldly speak up, since he was the one asking for a favor.

"There is no bottom line, why would my Tang Gao Ancient Clan hand over our clan’s treasured relic to a stranger like you!" The next moment, the old man’s expression turned mocking again.

This left Xiao Chen feeling helpless, facing an old man like a mischievous child, unpredictable and erratic, agreements could change in an instant.

"Xiao Mou is a legitimate descendant of Human Bloodline, with the battle blood of our race flowing within me, how can we be strangers, we are from the same root!" Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s eyes flashed as he spoke out.

"Hmph, smooth talker!" the old man snorted coldly. But the next moment, he said: "However, I like it, blood of Human Race, of the same lineage, this is what our people should never forget!"

"Bring out what old Longtou has given to you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was taken aback, and a piece of Dragon Pattern Jade appeared in his hand, which he handed to the old man. Since entering the Emperor’s Mausoleum, he had neither declared his identity nor shown the token given to him by King Long Deng.

For such an ancient and venerable clan, if he had started by presenting the jade and claiming to be the Human Saint Child, the outcome might have been utterly counterproductive. In the eyes of such clans, they truly might not hold a Human Saint Child in high esteem.

After all, the number of Saint Children in the entire Human World is not small, and the battle among the Saint Children has just begun, with unknown outcomes.

In Xiao Chen’s astonished gaze, the old man’s hand also presented a similar piece of jade. The moment the two pieces of jade met, a flash of Mysterious Yellow divine light vanished instantly!

"This is Xuanhuang Dragon Pattern Jade, the token of my Tang Gao Ancient Clan!"

Soon the two pieces of Dragon Pattern Jade combined, and Xiao Chen noticed that the previously chaotic patterns on them formed three ancient seal characters—Gao Tang Clan!

Soon the voice of the old man rang out again: "These two pieces of jade will respond to each other when they are close. Longtou once had a favor on our Tang Gao Ancient Clan, which is why this half piece of Dragon Pattern Jade ended up in his hands."

This was something Xiao Chen had not expected, nor had King Long Deng mentioned the reason before his departure. He had always thought that the jade was a token of King Long Deng, not realizing it actually belonged to the Tang Gao Ancient Clan!

Nevertheless, Xiao Chen realized he had caught the thread of the old mischief-maker’s thoughts, and evidently, not presenting the token directly at first was the right move.

"Now that you’ve brought the token, it’s not just up to me, the chieftain of Tang Gao Ancient Clan. It must be discussed with the other tomb keepers before it counts!"

At this moment, the previously casual demeanor of the old man gathered up, and his aura instantly transformed, turning him into an imposing strong figure!

Crack crack!

In just over ten breaths of time, the sounds of rustling came from a stone dragon stationed below the Emperor’s Mausoleum. Large chunks of stone flakes fell, and the entire stone dragon shuddered.

The next moment, the stone dragon opened its eyes, and within the opening and closing of its massive mouth, a deep and resonant voice emerged: "Since you possess the token of my Tang Gao Ancient Clan, the Cross-Border Array can be handed over to you, but you need to exchange something for it!"

"I wonder what kind of price Xiao Mou should pay!" Xiao Chen then softly inquired.

Rustle rustle!

Following that, the sound of rustling arose from within the forest, as if something was moving through the woods. Xiao Chen looked towards the source of the sound.

A huge python, dragging a long trail, toppled the soil, coming from the depths of the Ancient Forest. But when he looked again, this was no python but simply a vine covered with wrinkles.

"In a few days, it will be the death anniversary of our Ancient Clan’s emperor. I, a descendant of the Tang Gao, feel ashamed of not living up to our ancestors’ glory as our clan is increasingly declining, and we can’t even produce a proper offering!"

Soon a voice emitted from above the vine, paused and then spoke again: "What do you think should be used to commemorate the death anniversary of our Human Race’s emperor?"

"Naturally, the bones and blood of a different race!" Without hesitating, Xiao Chen responded, looking at the deteriorating condition of the Emperor’s Mausoleum, he spoke softly.

"Correct!"

The previously childish old man took over the conversation: "The three of us tomb keepers have discussed it, and the Cross-Border Array can be given to you."

"You are currently waging war against the Scorpion Clan, right?"

"Correct!" Xiao Chen nodded, unsurprised that these three strong figures from the Tang Gao Ancient Clan knew his identity.

But soon he realized, to commemorate the Emperor of the Human Race, not any ordinary bones and blood would suffice—it must be those of a king, possibly the sole emperor of the Scorpion Clan!

This was barely sufficient for the Emperor’s ritual!

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen spoke again: "On the death anniversary of the Gao Tang Clan’s emperor, Xiao Mou will surely bring the flesh and bones of the Scorpion Clan as a sacrifice to commemorate our Human Race’s emperor!"

’"Good!" Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, the old man and Xiao Chen exchanged glances and understood each other’s thoughts.

Boom boom!

The next moment, the huge stone dragon let out a piercing collision sound again, directly opening its huge mouth, and a stream of light burst forth from the dragon’s mouth, falling right in front of Xiao Chen!

"The Cross-Border Array is entrusted to you!"

"Thank you!"

After packing up the array, Xiao Chen cupped his fists and bowed to the three individuals.

"At the appointed time, Xiao Mou will come in response to the call, to perform the ritual sacrifice for our Human Emperor!"

The next moment, Xiao Chen took a step, returning along the same Divine Path he came. However, compared to his arrival, his speed was now extremely fast, vanishing from the sight of the three after only two steps.

"It seems that old man Long Deng has made up his mind to assist this one in contending for the position of Human Emperor!"

As Xiao Chen disappeared, the stone dragon’s mouth opened and closed again, and a voice came through.

"We have no choice!" The Tang Gao clan leader, no longer possessing any vestige of child-like spirit, a firm light twinkling in his cloudy eyes, shook his head and spoke.

"That old fellow Long Deng has a keen eye for people. Since he arranged for his visit to our Emperor’s Mausoleum, he must have his schemes. Just don’t know what exactly happened in that brief moment when the mausoleum fell into an unknown space-time!"

The old man furrowed his brow, seemingly puzzled!

"Let’s not talk too much now. Since it triggered a response from the Emperor’s Mausoleum, it shows he is not repelled by it, which is a good result for us. The remembrance day of the Emperor is approaching, and we descendants are in decline, unable to even prepare the Emperor’s sacrificial offerings, having to rely on the help of outsiders, truly is shameful."

A voice emerged above the vines, but soon the aura completely disappeared, and the original vines withered away, turning into dust and scattering across the Ancient Forest.

"Alas, let’s take one step at a time. The future is uncertain; perhaps this Human Saint Child right in front of us can help us unlock the Emperor’s Mausoleum!" As the words fell, the stone dragon also became silent, its dragon body covered with mottled cracks, displaying the cruelty of time!

Outside the Emperor’s Mausoleum, only the old man was left, staring blankly at the square-shaped mausoleum.

"Hope so, perhaps we can indeed unlock the Emperor’s Mausoleum, old Long Deng, I hope your judgement isn’t wrong this time..."

...

Along the Divine Path, Xiao Chen walked out of the Ancient Forest, stepping onto the Outer World again, looking back at the lush ancient forest with a thoughtful look in his eyes!

He felt that he had fallen into King Long Deng’s trap, which wasn’t to say that King Long Deng intended to harm him, but it was an indescribable feeling, especially inside this Emperor’s Mausoleum. During that brief moment earlier, he had a vague feeling that this was not just a mausoleum, but more like a seal!

But what exactly is sealed!

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Chen shook his head. Since he had no leads, he decided not to persist. King Long Deng would not harm him, and he believed he would naturally resolve this mystery!

Now that he had acquired the Cross-Border Array, the next step was to launch a conquest against the Scorpion Clan!

However, merely obtaining the Cross-Border Array was not enough. A day later, Xiao Chen appeared at the East Emperor Palace, directly taking the Teleportation Array connected to the Scorpion Clan, heading towards the Gu Yuan Tribe.

After all, his main base was located in the Eastern Wasteland South Region, and consistently using the Mountain River Seal as a communication channel with the Royal Beast Race wasn’t a long-term solution. The upcoming war of extermination would certainly not be easy, so it was wise to keep the Mountain River Seal with him.

The Void Array leading to the Scorpion Clan was placed near the Gu Yuan Tribe, creating a direct path from his own doorstep into the Scorpion Clan.

Royal Beast Race.

"That stubborn old bunch actually handed over the Cross-border Array to you so quickly!" Seeing Xiao Chen appear before him, King Long Deng’s eyes lit up with an exclamation.

"God King, let’s start building the array first!"

"Alright!" King Long Deng naturally understood the urgency of the matter. As a teleportation array that spans two worlds, it’s simple yet complex!

Simple because the Formation Method was already completely imprinted on the Array Base, complex because it required two strong individuals to bring half of the Array Base into both worlds.

To reconnect the two Array Bases, and they could not just be ordinary kings, but of course, Xiao Chen and King Long Deng, both grand emperors, were more than enough!

A day later, Xiao Chen appeared in the small world of the Scorpion Clan, where the Cross-Border Array, maintained intact by the Tang Gao Ancient Clan, showed no damage at all; which saved him quite a bit of trouble. In just half a day, the fluctuations emitted from the Array Disk were captured by King Long Deng!

Unexpectedly smooth, the Cross-Border Array was successfully merged, and within the endless space-time layers, an illusory spatial void appeared, connecting two ancient worlds. Yet, despite that, stabilizing the space in the passage still took a full month!

Beast Underworld.

"Decaying Wood God King, Brother Xibao, Demon Burying King, War Barbarian King, Celestial Seal King, Fierce Sun King, Iron Sword King, follow me to the Scorpion Clan, and the rest of the kings stay with King Long Deng to watch over the Royal Beast Race!"

"Yes!"

Instantly, the momentum soared into the sky, the violent aura obscuring the sun.
