Another hour later, Ye Xiao opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he shifted his gaze to look at the Dragon Pearl that was left with only 10% of its original energy. Its size has also shrunk by many times. Ye Xiao then waved his hand and kept the Dragon Pearl in his spatial ring.
"Ninth Stage of the Martial God Realm!"
He has finally become a Ninth Stage Martial God Realm martial artist. With the remaining energy in the Dragon Pearl, he could break through to the next realm of cultivation, however, he didn't do so. he chose to first consolidate his cultivation and get used to it before further breaking through.
In the Great Star Continent, he was not cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. Because of this, he couldn't continuously break through to many minor stages and a major realm just because he want to, otherwise, his foundation will be affected.
So he chose to keep the remaining Dragon Pearl and thought of using it some other time. For now, he has to focus on finding the 'Key' he was looking for.
After he stood up, he turned and saw the five unconscious people still laying on the ground. Then he once again turned his head and looked at the skeleton of the Azure Dragon. This skeleton was about a hundred meters long. However, it didn't turn into dust even after many eras, there must be a reason behind this.
The Dragon Pearl might be one of the reasons, but it can't be the main reason.
Thinking like this, Ye Xiao started carefully observing the Azure Dragon's corpse. The Azure Dragon's corpse was nothing but just a 100-meter-long skeleton. After carefully looking for a short while, Ye Xiao found something and his eyes lit up.
"There it is... The other 'Dragon Eye'."
When Ye Xiao looked at the head of the Azure Dragon, he was surprised to see a sparkling bead in one of its eyes. The other eye was just an empty eye socket. Ye Xiao immediately recognized this bead because he has one exactly like this in his hand. He knew this was the other Dragon Eye that was needed to open the gate in the Palace.
But...
A question appeared in Ye Xiao's mind. Since one of the Dragon Eye was found in the Azure Sky Continent, why was the second Dragon Eye fit in one of the Azure Dragon's Eyes?
Although there was a question, there was no answer.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao stepped forward and took out the other Mysterious Bead from the dragon's eye socket. When he dug this Dragon Eye out, the Dragon Eye in his spatial ring also tremble and suddenly disappeared, appearing the next moment in front of the other Dragon Eye.
This scene caused Ye Xiao to widen his eyes. He tried to keep them in the spatial ring, but this time he failed. The Dragon Eye could no longer be kept inside the Spatial Ring.
Since he can't keep the Dragon Eyes in his spatial ring, he kept holding them in his hand and arrived in front of the five unconscious people. He didn't know what to do with these people.
"Sigh! This place is too dangerous for them. Only if I could send them from where they come!"
Ye Xiao sighed and muttered in a low voice. The moment he muttered the above sentences, he felt his hand becoming hot. He looked down and saw the two Dragon Eyes shining brightly. Immediately after, it flew in the air and started floating.
Before Ye Xiao could understand what was happening, the two Dragons' Eyes started spinning opposite each other, creating an orbit without any core point. The orbit soon turned into a black vortex that erupted with a strong suction force, immediately sucking the five people inside before disappearing. The vortex also disappeared soon after the disappearance of the suction force. And it was at this moment the two Dragon Eyes returned to Ye Xiao's hand.
Everything happened too quickly. Ye Xiao was not able to react when the vortex appeared, sucked the five people inside, and disappeared once again. Only after the two Dragon Eyes returned in his hand did he realize what just happened.
"The F*ck!"
Ye Xiao couldn't help but curse out loud. He never thought that the Dragon Eyes could create a vortex to send the five people back to the Azure Sky Continent. As for why Ye Xiao was so sure that the five people were sent back to the Azure Sky Continent, it is because Wen Xiang had told Ye Xiao that after the Dragon Pearl flew out from the spatial ring on its own, it started shining and soon a vortex appeared that sucked all of them inside. And the blur in front of their eyes became clear once again, they found themselves standing in this place.
This clearly meant that the vortex transported Wen Xiang and the other four people to this place. Since it could do this, it means the vortex that appeared just now must have teleported them back to the Azure Sky Continent.
There was another reason behind Ye Xiao's belief. He was sure that the vortex must have teleported them back to the Azure Sky Continent because the two Dragons Eyes started reacting and created the vortex only after he muttered: "Only if I could send them from where they come!"
Anyway, Ye Xiao took a deep breath and heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that those people were a burden to him at this place. Although Wen Xiang was his friend, but still, he was a burden.
This Ancient Ruin has unknown dangers. And the current Ye Xiao has no Ancestral Dragons' abilities or his original strength. He couldn't guarantee their safety all the time. So, they were a burden to him.
Ye Xiao shook his head and started returning back to the palace. This strange space was like a small secret space created by someone just to hide one of the Dragon Eyes here. This space was located behind a wall. If not for the strange energy Ye Xiao could feel and his powerful Divine Sense, he wouldn't have been able to sense this space hidden behind the wall, and he wouldn't have broken the wall, discovering this place.
It took Ye Xiao two hours once again to arrive in front of the huge gate. He looked at the two dragons on both sides of the gate and put the Dragons' Eyes into both empty eye sockets.
The moment the Dragons Eyes were placed at their right place, the door suddenly shook.
The Gate has a mechanism setup. Four chains were hanging down, however, there were only three holes below. There was also a formation called Three Lock Formation laid on the gate.
When Ye Xiao put the Dragons Eyes, into the eye sockets, the gate only shook before calming down once again. Nothing happened after that. But Ye Xiao understood what he needed to do in order to open the gate once again.
He pointed and touched many places on the gate for some time. After three minutes, the gate shone with silver light. The silver light became a silver-coloured screen before shattering into pieces. With this, the Three Lock Formation was broken.
After this was done, Ye Xiao inserted the three put of four chains into the three holes below.
The moment he did this, the gate once again shook heavily. The eyes of the dragons also shone with a bright light at this moment. Then the heads of both dragons started bowing toward each other. There came a point when both of their heads touched each other. Mysteriously, a small hole appeared between the two dragon heads.
Ye Xiao knew this was it. He hold the fourth chain and inserted it into this hole.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
A creaking sound started coming out and at the same time, many changes took place in the gate. Finally, the two mysterious beads dimmed a lot before shattering and turning into powder.
It was also at this moment the gate started opening on its own with a creaking sound.
It didn't take long for the gate to open.
Even after fate opened, Ye Xiao was unable to see what is inside. This caused him to frown. He changed his position many times and looked inside, however, he was disappointed every time.
He also became wary. He didn't know what is inside the gate, but the extraordinary aura he was feeling has become much stronger. It means the sword that the red-haired woman talked about previously must be at this place. At least, this was how Ye Xiao thought in his heart.
But he also knew, he might also encounter dangers inside. So he hesitated for a moment. He couldn't decide whether to enter or not.
But after a while, he decided to enter. After all, he has come this far and did so many things just to enter the palace and obtain the sword that the Red-haired Woman needed.
