In the past two days, he had continuously broken through two stages. Indeed, he needed to find an opportunity to break through. Otherwise, it would have an indispensable impact on his future cultivation.

Agreed. Profound King nodded with a smile. And the next one?

I need all the news about the imperial city of the Azure Cloud Kingdom, especially the South Stream Temple. Yi Zhou said with a serious face.

It was likely that he had already been gone for more than a month. He was extremely worried about the safety of the study hall. Did the Shock Emperor Hall and the Li Yun Sect send any troops? Would the grudge between the royal family and the study erupt because of this?

Currently, Yi Zhou did not have the time to return. He still needed some time to lay the foundation of reaching the seventh level of the mind, so he could only rely on the power of the Profound King.

The Profound King laughed. Tomorrow, you can follow me into the palace to view the ancient texts. After the three of them are done, there will be someone to tell you everything you want to know about the imperial city of Blue Cloud Nation, and from today on, you can enter and leave the palace at will.

Everyone present was shocked, Profound King was obviously trying to win Yi Zhou over.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Yi Zhou bowed without the slightest hesitation.

The Eastern Tomb Martial Meet was the moment when the heaven's pride experts of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom shone their light, but who would have thought that the most dazzling person would actually be Yi Zhou and Yi Yi from the Azure Cloud Nation.

Can you briefly describe the situation of the imperial city of the Azure Cloud Nation? Profound King looked at Yi Zhou and asked. I'll send someone to get the information.

More than ten years ago, the royal family of the Azure Cloud Kingdom had a feud with the Southern Stream Mansion, but recently, the other two powers, the Shock King Hall and the Li Yun Sect, had allied themselves to send out their troops.

Profound King's eyes flashed. After hearing Yi Zhou's simple explanation, he understood clearly that there was no such thing as a coincidence. The royal family must be behind the Shocking King Hall and the Li Yun Sect.

That's enough. I will immediately send someone to the Azure Cloud Kingdom to inquire about it. The news will be sent to the Scripture Pavilion in three days. Profound King said.

Yi Zhou nodded heavily.

After that, Yi Zhou and the rest followed Profound King and continued to advance. Not long after, they arrived at a mountain in the depths of the palace.

You can stay here for now. The Profound King said with a smile. It was relatively quiet here, and no one would bother them.

He had originally hoped that Yi Zhou and the rest could live in the palace, but it couldn't be helped that Yi Yi didn't like those luxurious decorations. Instead, he liked this kind of natural beauty even more.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Yi Zhou bowed again.

No need to be so polite. Profound King laughed. Alright, you can all rest here. Tomorrow, I will have Chen'er come to take you all to the Scripture Pavilion.

With that, the Profound King turned and left, very straightforwardly.

See you tomorrow. Yan Chen looked at Yi Zhou, and then extended his fist with a smile.

See you tomorrow. Yi Zhou nodded his head lightly, and the two's fists gently bumped against each other.

Brother Mo Fan, if I have the time in the future, can I look for you to learn the zither? Yan Qingqing smiled faintly.

Of course. Yi Zhou nodded.

That's a deal.

After that, she followed Yan Chen and left the place, no longer disturbing Yi Zhou and the others.

Only after they had all left did Yi Zhou let out a long breath. At this moment, his tensed mental state finally managed to catch a breath.

This Martial Competition was truly tiring.

Yi Zhou, thank you. Suddenly, Huangfu Yanran looked at Yi Zhou with a serious face.

Yi Zhou had done so much for her, but she hadn't even had the time to thank him.

Yi Zhou shook his head. Do we need to talk about this?

Although there wasn't much interaction between him and Huangfu Yanran, the two of them seemed to have an indescribable feeling about them. It was very strange.

Huangfu Yanran smiled faintly, her exquisite face blossoming into an extremely beautiful smile. Just these words were enough.

The few of them sat down as they felt the world turn quiet in an instant. After a long time, the full moon hung high in the sky, filled with twinkling stars.

They bathed for a long time after the banquet, then went to bed early.

The next morning.

How was your rest last night? Yan Chen slowly walked towards the courtyard on Yi Zhou's side and asked.

Not bad. Yi Zhou laughed.

The time to open the Sacred Storage Pavilion is almost here, should we depart now?

Good. Yi Zhou nodded, then brought Yi Yi and Yan Chen to leave, heading towards the Ancient Palace's Scripture Tower.

Outside the Scripture Tower, Profound King and the various officials had long since arrived. Looking from afar, a vast golden array of light was floating in the sky, and Profound King was standing at the center of the array, bathing his entire body in a resplendent golden light.

This Scripture Tower is so mysterious? You still need to rely on formations to activate it? Yi Zhou exclaimed.

Yan Chen smiled slightly. The Scripture Tower is passed down from our Yan Clan line, our ancestors passed away in the tower, thus the ancient Qi they contain is extremely vast. Adding to the ancient scrolls that we have collected over the past thousands of years, the scholarly fragrance is rather strong, which is beneficial for cultivators who use Spiritual Energy s.

Formidable. Yi Zhou could not help but praise it.

This way, he would be able to rely on the vast ancient Qi in the Scripture Pavilion to suppress the floating Spiritual Energy in his body, allowing him to truly stabilize his state of mind to the seventh level.

Gu Yuan Dragon Summoning Formation!

Profound King stood at the center of the formation and bellowed, followed by an ear-piercing dragon's roar that resonated from within the ancient array. With a flash of golden light, vast Spiritual Energy poured into the Scripture Tower from all directions.

Following that, the ancient wooden door of the Scripture Tower slowly opened, and a rich scent of books assaulted their nostrils.

Come on in. Profound King said to Yi Zhou and the others.

Yi Zhou bowed towards the Profound King. Thank you, Your Majesty.

After he finished speaking, he brought Yi Yi and entered the Scripture Tower with Yan Chen.

After the three of them entered, the somewhat dilapidated small wooden door slowly closed. The entire Scripture Tower once again returned to its former majestic and solemn appearance.

Now we have to do what we can. Yan Chen looked at Yi Zhou and laughed.

Good luck. Yi Zhou extended his fist out.

Good luck.

The fists of the two lightly knocked against each other, after that, Yan Chen turned around and left, focusing on his own cultivation.

Yi Zhou looked at the countless ancient books and scriptures in the Scripture Tower, a blazing red light flashed through his pitch-black pupils. He licked his lips and continued to study.

There were quite a few books of the zither dao here, so it was rather suitable for Yiyi.

Time passed unknowingly …

However, Yi Zhou did not know that at the end of the Eastern Tomb Martial Meet, countless experts from the imperial city of Blue Cloud Nation had gathered and were also the focus of attention of the entire nation.

The Azure Cloud Kingdom's grand banquet was about to be held.

Along with this colleague, the people sent by the Profound King to gather information had also arrived at the imperial city of Blue Cloud Country.

However, right now, the capital was in an uproar.

It was originally very simple.

Only five words.

King Luo had returned.

Maybe, even Yan Chen did not know that the Scripture Tower would be like this.

Swish, swish …

Just as Yi Zhou was taken aback, the entire stretch of starry sky seemed to tremble a little. Then, streams of starlight streaked across the horizon as streams of light flew past.

Yi Zhou looked up and saw that the Thirteen Mystical Prison Monastery had probed out. The flowing lights that flew past all contained a dense amount of ancient Qi, and at this moment, Yi Zhou finally understood, that this starry sky was actually a gigantic spirit storage room!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Yi Zhou was about to rush out and pluck those stars, a dazzling ocean of light instantly poured down from the starry sky.

Yi Zhou's face revealed a shocked expression. He looked at the ancient scrolls, and an ancient and obscure aura rippled out from them.

Yi Zhou and Yi Yi looked at each other, and immersed themselves into cultivation.

She sat down in the air and started studying the zither music.

And Yi Zhou was picking those Spiritual Energy stars in the sky.

Time slowly passed by …

Three days later, the guard sent by the Profound King to Blue Cloud Nation to investigate the news had returned. He first reported it to the Profound King and then informed Princess Yan Chen who was in the Scripture Tower.

After receiving the news, Yan Chen went to find Yi Zhou without any hesitation.

Yan Chen. Seeing Yan Chen walking towards them, Yi Zhou shouted with a smile on his face.

Yan Chen nodded, and said. The news of the Azure Cloud Country had already been investigated.

How about it? Yi Zhou's eyes flashed. The study room now, how is it?

He only said five words. Yan Chen said again with a solemn face.

King Luo had returned.

Yi Zhou's gaze froze for a moment, and shock surfaced in Yiyi's cold eyes. The Luo King who had disappeared for eighteen years, had actually returned?

Back then, King Luo and his teacher had a battle to the death in the Mountain of Beauty, and in the end, King Luo had disappeared. Since then, the royal family had fought fiercely against each other, and the Shapeshift Hall and the Li Yun Sect had even said that they would send troops to the study.

Now, the Azure Emperor's banquet was also going to be held.

That was the home of the royal family.

What was the South Stream Monastery like now?!

Yi Zhou was very worried.

Yan Chen, I want to leave now! Yi Zhou said without any hesitation as he looked at Yan Chen.

Good. Yan Chen nodded, and did not refuse.

From Yi Zhou's expression, it could be seen that he was nervous, one could well imagine that there were many people in the South Stream Temple that he cared about.

Not long after, Yan Chen brought Yi Zhou and the others and left the Scripture Tower. He also brought Little Monster and Huangfu Yanran to find the Profound King to say his farewells. Yan Qingqing was also present in the great hall.

Your Majesty, we will be able to return to the Azure Cloud Kingdom. Please forgive us for our rudeness. Yi Zhou cupped his fists and said.

How about this, I'll send someone to escort you there, and at the same time arrange for people to protect you from the shadows. If you really have no other choice, you can return to Eastern Tomb Kingdom. With me here, you can ensure your safety.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Yi Zhou slightly bowed.

He did not refuse because he really needed the strength of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom. As for this favor, he would never forget it in his heart.

I'll go with you. Looking towards Yi Zhou, Yan Chen said.

Yi Zhou was a little surprised. He was not sure what would happen to Blue Cloud Country, but he was certain that this trip would be extremely dangerous.

Brother Mo Fan and me. Yan Qingqing came to Yi Zhou's side and said with a smile.

Yi Zhou looked at the two of them, a warm feeling flowed through his heart. Although they had not known each other for long, they were good friends.

This trip was extremely dangerous. Yi Zhou's face was solemn as he refused.

Let them go together. This can be considered a long experience, and one's gaze should not be limited to the Eastern Tomb Kingdom. In the future, all of you will be people that will leave the Hundred Kingdom Territory. Profound King laughed as he looked at Yi Zhou.

As for safety, don't worry, I won't let any of you get into trouble.

Yi Zhou hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded his head.

Zi Yan, you can stay. I will come back after I settle the matters of the Azure Cloud Country. Yi Zhou said to Huangfu Yanran.
