"You need to prove that you are the Dragon King, otherwise I cannot believe your identity."

Xiao Chen looked at the old man and said seriously.

"I have been in seclusion in a secret realm for many years, how can I prove myself?"

The old man felt helpless. For so many years, he still hadn't proven that "I am the Dragon King".

"That's up to you to figure out."

Xiao Chen shook his head and clenched the Sky-Breaking Sword tightly.

Although he felt that the old man in front of him was most likely the Dragon Emperor, he did not dare to be careless.

After all, the dragon soul has not appeared yet, and the ghost's form is changeable, so it is possible to disguise itself as the Dragon Emperor!

It's always better to be careful.

Besides... he was also a little unhappy with the Dragon Emperor. After all he said, he actually watched him die without helping and just hid in the dark.

Therefore, if you give the Dragon Emperor a little trouble, you will feel much better.

"I can't think of a solution. Please go."

The old man thought about it and shook his head.

"ah?"

Xiao Chen was a little confused after hearing the old man's words. Let him go?

This...why don't you play by the rules?

Normally, shouldn't you find a way to prove your identity?

"I wanted to give you an opportunity, but in the end I have to prove my identity to you? Forget it, it seems that our destiny has not arrived yet..."

The old man waved his hand and said calmly.

"Don't, Senior Dragon Emperor..."

As soon as Xiao Chen heard about the opportunity, he immediately smiled.

"Senior Dragon Emperor? Why, now you believe that I am the Dragon Emperor?"

The old man had a playful look on his face, as if he was smiling but not laughing.

"I believe it. Look at you. You have an immortal look and are exactly like the Dragon Emperor I imagined..."

Xiao Chen's smile widened.

"You must be Senior Dragon Emperor, there is no doubt about it."

"Humph, you kid..."

The old man snorted, but couldn't help laughing.

"Senior Dragon Emperor, you summoned me here. What do you want me to do?"

Xiao Chen took two steps forward and asked with a smile.

"You don't need to remind me, I can't miss your chance..."

After the old man finished speaking, he waved his long sleeves, and three balls of light flew out from his wide cuffs and floated in front of Xiao Chen.

"What's this?"

Xiao Chen looked at the three balls of light and asked curiously.

"These three ghosts that escaped, this is their soul power."

The old man replied.

"Um?"

Xiao Chen was surprised to hear the old man's words.

"You arrested them?"

"Um."

The old man nodded.

"If we let them go, they will surely kill many of the Dragon King's people."

"Yes, Senior is wise."

Xiao Chen praised and moved forward to look at it.

These three light balls are not big, about the same size as glass crystal balls, and they also look transparent.

However, there were faint shadows swaying on its surface, as if something was trapped inside.

"What's this?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Their awareness."

The old man explained.

"This is what makes them immortal."

"oh oh……"

Xiao Chen suddenly realized and looked at it carefully. Is this their consciousness?

This was the first time he saw the existence of consciousness.

Before, there were speculations, but they could not be seen.

"If you devour them, your spiritual consciousness will become more powerful."

The old man said.

"You know I have divine consciousness?"

Xiao Chen raised his head.

"Huh, what doesn't my old man know?"

The old man snorted.

"I even know that you collapsed the Sword Mountain."

“…”

Xiao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Senior, you are wrongly accusing me. The collapse of Jianshan has nothing to do with me."

"Who brought the Xuanyuan Sword? Who released the sword spirit? Do you dare to say it doesn't matter?"

The old man looked at Xiao Chen.

"Well, I don't know. When the sword spirit and the sword spirit meet, they are like mortal enemies."

Xiao Chen was helpless.

"I thought that once the Knife Soul came out, it could seduce the Sword Soul... Isn't it said that there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and one is female, the Knife Soul is the male and the Sword Soul is the female. But the result is that the male and female fought too hard."

“…”

The old man was speechless. Where did this kid come from with so many nonsense?

"Hey, I thought of a possibility. Do you think they might have turned from love to hate? In this case, there is a question. Was it the sword spirit that cheated, or the knife spirit that cheated?"

Xiao Chen said again.

“…”

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What a mess.

"Okay, I didn't say I was going to cause you any trouble..."

"That's good, that's good..."

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior is so generous!"

"Where did you go after you got the map from the old dragon?"

The old man asked.

"You know that, too?"

Xiao Chen was even more surprised.

"There is nothing I don't know."

The old man was somewhat pleased with himself.

"You don't know where I've been."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

“…”

The old man was stunned, then stared.

"Boy, are you going to tell me or not?"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

Xiao Chen said hurriedly.

"I just went to a few places of opportunity and got some opportunities."

"Where did you go last night?"

The old man was curious.

"I have looked in many places, but I haven't seen you."

"Oh, I was at Lingyun Cliff last night."

Xiao Chen replied.

"Lingyunya? Haha, are you going to look for the spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"

The old man smiled.

"So, you came back empty-handed, huh? That little creature is quite clever."

"Haha, you are wrong this time."

Xiao Chen also laughed.

"Hmm? Did you catch the spiritual root of heaven and earth?"

The old man was surprised.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded.

“Got it.”

"You...you won't eat it?"

The old man's eyes widened.

"No, it's in my storage space."

Seeing the old man's reaction, Xiao Chen was somewhat puzzled. This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root... seemed to be quite important? Otherwise, why did the Dragon Emperor react like this?

"It is working to pay off its debts..."

"Work to pay off debts? What does that mean?"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Chen say he didn't eat.

"Haha, it drank a lot of my wine..."

Xiao Chen smiled and explained the matter briefly.

“…”

After hearing this, the old man looked strange. Is this possible?

"If it has paid its debt, will you really let it go?"

"Of course, but judging by the look of it, I probably won't be able to finish it before I leave the secret realm."

Xiao Chen nodded, his consciousness entered the bone ring and took a look.

"This little drunkard... is still sleeping! I'm a little worried now. Will it stay in my storage space and not leave?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that little thing likes wine?"

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"It's quite interesting."

"Senior, for your sake, I will release it regardless of whether it has paid its debt or not."

Xiao Chen thought about it and said.

"No, if it wants to follow you, then let it follow you."

The old man shook his head.

"I have nothing to do with this little thing. It's just that God has a kind heart and thought it was born and raised by nature. It must have practiced for countless years."

Although the old man said so, Xiao Chen did not completely believe it.

However, he didn't say anything more and just nodded.

"That guy said that you are the chosen one, and it's true... You even got the spiritual roots of heaven and earth."

The old man said again.

"The Chosen One? That guy? The old fortune teller?"

Xiao Chen's heart moved.

"Have you ever seen an old fortune teller?"

"Well, he came here once before... Oh, let me tell you a funny thing, the old fortune teller also went to Lingyun Cliff to capture the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, but this little guy escaped."

The old man laughed.

"I didn't expect it to end up in your hands. This is also the fate between you and it."

"The old fortune teller didn't catch it?"

Xiao Chen was surprised, but also a little bit unconvinced.

He... really had no idea how powerful the old fortune teller was.

But in his eyes, the old fortune teller is omnipotent.

"Who knows? Maybe he felt that he had no destiny, so he didn't try hard to catch it. The fact is... he went to Lingyun Cliff and returned empty-handed."

The old man shook his head.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded, this statement was credible.

"Senior, the secret realm is closed, how did he get here?"

"Who knows? That guy is so elusive..."

The old man responded with one sentence.

"Oh, let me remind you again, don't mention that guy in front of that old dragon..."

"They know each other too?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

"Is there a grudge?"

"It's not a grudge, it's just that Lao Long is on guard against that guy."

The old man laughed.

"That old dragon is extremely rich... Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

Xiao Chen had a strange look on his face. Has the old fortune teller ever thought about Qinglong's treasure house?

Don't mention it, he's thinking about it too.

"Haha, are you thinking about it too? Are you interested in going to the old dragon's treasure house to take a look?"

The old man blinked.

"Um, will Senior Shenlong allow it?"

Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked.

"Won't."

The old man shook his head.

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. If you don’t allow it...what am I supposed to watch?

"If you're thinking about it, I can lure out the old dragon and take you for a walk..."

The old man smiled.

"how?"

"It is not a gentleman to enter without invitation..."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Then wait until it invites you to go again."

The old man laughed.

“…”

Xiao Chen curled his lips and thought, there's probably no hope.

"Maybe, it will ask you."

The old man thought of something and spoke again.

"You got the flute, didn't you?"

"Well, it should be at Chifeng's place."

Xiao Chen replied.

"That fighting spirit said it was the Luo Tian flute, the most precious treasure of the Luo Tian clan... Do you understand?"

“I don’t understand.”

The old man shook his head.

“…”

Xiao Chen looked at the old man. Did he really not understand, or did he just not want to tell him?

"Speaking of Dizi, when you get out, have a good talk with Zhuifeng about what's going on here... Don't be soft-hearted, kill those who need to be killed."

The old man said slowly.

"Hmm... Hmm? You're not going out?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

"No, I have to continue my retreat."

The old man shook his head.

"It's not time to leave yet."

"You've come out for a stroll, is that still considered a retreat?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course it counts, as long as you don't leave the secret realm."

The old man said seriously.

"All right."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"I will tell Elder Long what you said... In fact, even if you didn't say it, he would not be merciful. He has already returned to the Dragon Soul Palace."

"Well, he did a good job."

The old man praised.

"Do you know what's going on outside?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.

"Some know, some don't... But, I believe he will do a good job."

The old man nodded, then shook his head.

"It turns out that he didn't disappoint me."
