Hegemons Call-out System

Chapter 315 - Half-step Venerable One

In the past, these people had all chosen to help Long Xuan. Some of them had started off as enemies, but in the end, for the sake of the entire continent's survival, they chose to give up their interests and stood by Long Xuan's side, so these people had all maintained a good relationship with him during the last moment. Although they had separated for a few years, Long Xuan had obtained their acknowledgement at that time, so after these people came to the secret realm, they had all chosen to stay within the King Xuan's Mansion.

They chose to stay in the King Xuan's Mansion because they believed that Long Xuan would not die like this. He would definitely return, so even though they stayed in the King Xuan's Mansion, they never disturbed the affairs of the King Xuan's Mansion. In these years, the Inner Palace had become a very special existence within the King Xuan's Mansion.

Seeing each and every familiar face that they had met, Long Xuan was also very pleased. After all, these people were the people that supported him back then, and they were not seen to fall in that disaster, so Long Xuan was still exceptionally happy in his heart. These people also had an incomparably huge confidence in Long Xuan, and because Long Xuan was able to stay safe and sound from that kind of explosion that happened back then, it showed that he was someone that even the heavens would love, which further increased their confidence in Long Xuan.

Cultivating was something that defied the will of the heavens. Other than talent, a cultivator would also require cultivation techniques and the support of various cultivation resources, but in the process, it would involve a person's luck, after hundreds, even thousands of years of cultivation, they could be considered experts amongst the cultivators, but as their cultivation increased, they would encounter more and more troubles, and it would also be harder and harder to increase their cultivation. Some people's cultivation would stay the same, and their cultivation would not improve at all, but after meeting Long Xuan, these people would be influenced by Long Xuan.

Back then, when he met Long Xuan, the two of them were still enemies, and it was fortunate that he had chosen Long Xuan then, which gave him the karma he had today. Now, with the cultivation of a half-step knight, he did not even dare think about it, because after training for so many years, he knew that Long Xuan and himself shared a common interest, and he could only grasp onto Long Xuan, maybe he would truly be able to reach the level of a genuine knight. Don't underestimate the distance of a half-step, there were some people who had not reached that stage in a thousand years who, but after meeting Long Xuan, he only used ten years of time to step into the half-step realm of a high saint, which could be considered as a miracle in the entire Braveheart Continent.

Long Xuan looked at him, and said in an extremely joyous mood: "Alright, I have nothing to do this time, and will not enter your Inner Academy. This time, I have come to rescue you all."

Qian Ning laughed heartily as she looked at Long Xuan, then said, "These words of yours seem to be out of place, but have we always been your followers? If there is anything you need, just tell me. I believe that the people in our inner courtyard will obey your orders. "

Seeing all this, Long Xuan's heart could not help but relax a little. The people in front of him were all the true elites of the King Xuan's Mansion, and although he did not know whether or not they all had Psychic magical equipment s, but the individual cultivation of these people, were definitely able to fight against a good hand with a top-quality magic tool. This kind of fighting strength was what he needed the most, when he saw the performance of these people, the smile on Long Xuan's face never faded.

He immediately laughed and said, "Alright, I really want to visit your Inner Academy. I heard that your Inner Academy is currently a forbidden area of our King Xuan's Mansion."

He hurriedly said: "Master, some things should be discussed inside, I will slowly report the details to you. Also, most of the people in the Inner Palace are in closed doors cultivation, so when Master comes over, they will not be able to come out to welcome you. After they come out, I will ask them to visit you, and I hope Master will not take offense to them."

However, Long Xuan did not say anything, he immediately walked towards the valley, Qian Ning glanced at his back, and followed closely, Bai Meng also raised her leg and followed, the Inner Academy Elders followed closely behind, and finally the two rows of white robed men followed, the array formation at the valley entrance changed, and she returned to her previous appearance.

There weren't any buildings in the valley, only many cultivation caves. Obviously, these people did not pay attention to these external things, as long as there was a training grounds, it would suffice. In a large cave, Long Xuan and the others sat cross-legged, Bai Meng also sat next to Long Xuan with her legs crossed. She was extremely curious about the inner courtyard, but after seeing the situation in the inner courtyard, she felt a sense of respect towards these inner courtyard elders.

After Long Xuan sat down, he looked at everyone, then looked at Qian Ning and said, "Alright, I have only one goal for coming here today. I just want to know how many people in your Inner Academy have Psychic magical equipment s."

When everyone heard Long Xuan's words, they looked at each other strangely before shifting their gazes to Qian Ning. It was obvious that this question needed to be answered by Qian Ning.

Qian Ning saw that everyone was looking at her, he couldn't help but smile, then turned to Long Xuan and said: "Master, this question of yours is a little hard to answer. However, if you simply ask which one of us has Psychic magical equipment, then you can be responsible for it, all the elders in the Inner Academy have Psychic magical equipment. At our level, using the Spirit Communication Technique is not a difficult thing for us, as long as we have an Artifact Spirit, we can refine new Psychic magical equipment."

"What?" After hearing Qian Ning's words, Long Xuan couldn't help but stand up in joy. The shock he felt from Qian Ning's words was indeed huge, he looked at Qian Ning again with his eyes wide open, "Qian Ning, is what you said true?"

Seeing Long Xuan's surprised face as he asked himself, Qian Ning nodded his head vigorously.

Seeing Qian Ning's confirmation, a smile instantly appeared on his face, but he still instinctively asked, "So you mean that the inner courtyard is able to produce Psychic magical equipment?"

Hearing Long Xuan's question, Qian Ning's aged face couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He shook his head and said, "In principle, it is possible, but the inner courtyard is unable to create Psychic magical equipment."

After Long Xuan heard Qian Ning's words, the smile on his face froze. He looked at Qian Ning and did not speak any further.

Looking at Long Xuan's appearance, Qian Ning also straightforwardly stood up. She bowed slightly towards Long Xuan and said, "Master, I said that everyone here knows the manufacturing methods of Psychic magical equipment, but that Psychic magical equipment needs a very important thing. We can't easily make it, that's why I said our inner courtyard isn't able to make psychic artefact."

"What's the most important thing? "Even you guys can't easily get it." Long Xuan started to understand Qian Ning's meaning.

Qian Ning explained in a low voice, "The most important thing for psychic artefact is for a living being to become an artifact spirit on their own. Very few cultivators want to become an artifact spirit today, so this is the reason why Psychic magical equipment are so hard to find in the cultivation world."

If the psychic artefact could really be refined so easily, then the psychic artefact wouldn't be so hard to find in the cultivation room. Even the Artifact Spirit Hall took three thousand years, so much that it should not have been many of them, and they were basically all of the mid to low ranks. From this, it could be seen that the artifact spirit was the key to the success of the psychic artefact.

After understanding the reason, Long Xuan's expression immediately eased up a lot, he looked at Qian Ning, and said: "This time we may have met a very powerful opponent, they have already existed for three thousand years, and according to what I have heard, not only are there divine artifacts, they are also likely to be different sets of psychic artefact s, and their ranks are not very low too, so we have to find a group of people who possess psychic artefact s, if not we will lose our advantage in a fight, this time's opponent might be an opportunity for us, as long as we can win against Artifact Spirit Hall, then I will likely obtain even more power. On the contrary, I might not even exist anymore.

The information that Long Xuan had told them made them understand that Long Xuan might have met a powerful enemy this time around. Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze towards Qian Ning, and those people were people that Qian Ning had given them the choice they wanted to make, but in the end, Qian Ning had chosen Long Xuan, while they survived. On the contrary, those who didn't choose to follow his, had long since ceased to exist. Thus, this time, their gazes were focused on Qian Ning. He had the final say in everything.

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Qian Ning seemed to understand what was going on. She bowed to Long Xuan and said, "Master, please follow me." Without waiting for Long Xuan to speak, he turned and walked into the cave. Long Xuan immediately followed, and just as Bai Meng was about to stand up and follow, Long Xuan waved his hand at her, signalling her not to move.

Long Xuan followed Qian Ning into the cave, but what surprised Long Xuan was that the cave seemed to be extremely large. When they arrived at a stone door, Long Xuan accidentally discovered that there were two elders guarding the two sides of the stone door, and when they saw Qian Ning walk over, the two of them slightly bowed to her. It was clear that Qian Ning's position in the inner valley was not low, and Qian Ning lightly smiled at Long Xuan from the door and said, "Master, this is the true meaning of the existence of our Inner Academy.

After hearing Qian Ning's words, Long Xuan looked at him suspiciously, and when the two elders opened the stone door, a burst of hot air rushed out from inside. Seeing that, just as Long Xuan was hesitating, Qian Ning walked in through the stone door.

As he walked down the stone steps, Long Xuan could clearly feel that the temperature inside was growing higher and higher. After walking in for a hundred meters, Long Xuan could still see the flames that were jumping around on the stone walls, and when he arrived at a stone room that was not small, Long Xuan discovered that the inside of the stone room was filled with sparks. The temperature was so high that it was scary.

However, when his gaze fell upon the floating figure floating in the air above the stone room, his gaze couldn't help but freeze. Although this person felt a trace of Dou Qi undulations from his body, the aura emitted by him was too strong, and had a suffocating feeling. What made Long Xuan a little surprised was that the aura emitted from this person's body didn't feel like that of the artifact spirit's, and looking at this floating figure, Long Xuan felt as if he had fallen into a cave of ice.

He saw Qian Ning bow towards the figure as she spoke, "Venerable Blood River, Master is here."

Hearing Qian Ning's words, Long Xuan could not help but be shocked, he never thought that this person would actually be a Supreme Realm cultivator, and from what Qian Ning had said, it seemed that this person knew him, and he could not help but stare at her.

When the figure heard Qian Ning's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an ice-cold gaze swept over to Long Xuan. Long Xuan immediately felt that his entire body was pierced by an ice-cold Qi, but the Qi was extremely gentle, as though a cold hand had gently caressed Long Xuan's body, causing him to feel extremely comfortable.

"Master, do you still remember Old Monster of the Blood River?" A cold voice suddenly sounded beside Long Xuan's ears.

Hearing this voice, Long Xuan immediately remembered who the other party was. What Long Xuan didn't expect was that the figure that was standing in the air was actually Blood River Elder, whom he had summoned from the Heaven Fighting Continent back then. This person was only a late-stage Holy-ranked cultivator back then, so even though he had given him a pellet to break through to the next realm, he didn't expect that after a few years, he was now a Venerable One.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to reach the Supreme Realm in just a few short years. However, I am currently in closed door cultivation, and the thing I am communicating with you now is only a part of my consciousness. If there is anything you need, you can ask Qian Ning, and when this old servant comes out of closed door, you can come back to pay your respects to Master. The cold voice of the blood river resounded in Long Xuan's ears.

"Alright, I will wait for you to come out." Long Xuan said softly as he looked at the figure in the air.

Qian Ning stood at the side and waited for Long Xuan to communicate with the Venerable Blood River. When he saw Long Xuan walking towards him, he knew that Long Xuan had finished interacting with the blood river, so he said to Long Xuan in a low voice: "Master, Venerable Blood River has been closed up here all these years, but he had already released a strand of his consciousness in this stone room in order to guard it. Since it's mainly here now, let me, the Lord, see what the thing that we have been protecting in the Inner Academy for all these years have done?"

Although he was not clear what exactly these people were guarding, from their attitude, Long Xuan could tell that the thing they were guarding was definitely not ordinary. If not, when Venerable Blood River was in closed door cultivation he would have had to release a strand of his divine sense to protect the place, but he was indeed unable to guess what the thing they were protecting was.

Qian Ning smiled when she saw Long Xuan, and said: "Master, you should come down with me to meet them." Without waiting for Long Xuan's reply, he led him towards the other door of the stone room. Long Xuan was currently filled with interest towards their protective item, and without saying a word, he quickly caught up with Qian Ning who was in front.

When a space filled with flames appeared before their eyes, Long Xuan could clearly feel that the spirit energy in this space was extremely similar to the space that the dragon warrior had brought him into before. But at this moment, Long Xuan was actually able to feel the enormous heat energy of this space here, and he could not feel any energy fluctuations from the space that the dragon warrior had brought him into.

The moment Long Xuan appeared in the space, the spirit energy in the space immediately came to life. Long Xuan could clearly feel the spirit energy fluctuations that were moving in the space, and it seemed that they were exceptionally active towards his arrival.

When he saw the black shadow, Long Xuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, because he sensed the aura of the artifact spirit from the black shadow. As the black shadow approached, indeed, it was a huge black spear that stopped in front of Long Xuan, and not knowing when, Qian Ning had already appeared beside Long Xuan. With a complicated look in her eyes, she glanced at the huge black spear, then explained to Long Xuan: "This is a Damascus Steel Fire Refining Spear, its body is bluish-black, it weighs seven feet, and weighs ninety-one kilograms.

The black giant spear was floating in mid air, and after it heard Qian Ning's words, it turned towards Qian Ning in a very human-like manner, as if it approved of Qian Ning introducing it. This kind of action caused Long Xuan to be filled with confidence in this top grade spirit artifact, but he still looked towards the Thousand Condensation Saint and his side with a puzzled look.

Ever since he knew that psychic artefact could be created using a living spirit artifact, it was clear that every Psychic magical equipment had a spirit artifact, but now, this spirit artifact was no less precious than the psychic artefact itself, and there were even some high level spirit artifacts that had an extremely strong attack power, so high level spirit artifacts were even more rare. Even though the one in front of him was a top-tier psychic artefact, its level of intelligence was definitely not inferior to a normal fake divine tool, and at the moment, this "Damascus Steel Fire Refining Spear" seemed to be a masterless item, so he was not able to display its true strength.

When Long Xuan saw this shadow, the expression in Long Xuan's eyes couldn't help but change, because he could feel from the shadow's aura that this was yet another psychic artefact, and its grade wasn't under the "Damascus Steel Fire Refining Spear" from before. As he was pondering, the shadow quickly arrived in front of him.

Qian Ning, on the other hand, did not even look at Long Xuan as she continued to speak, "This sword is made of extremely tough black gold, it has been fused with black iron and other supporting materials, its hardness has already reached an extremely high level, the sword hilt is carved from golden silk and zhennan wood, the sword blade also has tortoise armor's texture, and has an amplification effect, at the same time the sword also has five elements, so it's called the Five Elements Sword. This sword is three feet long, and it weighs twelve kilograms.

Just as Long Xuan was about to speak, a shadow flew over from afar, followed by two shadows. However, Qian Ning, who was standing to the side, spoke out: "Flowing Light Sword, a full length of three feet eight inches, weight twenty-four kilograms, made from profound iron as the main body, the sword's body is covered with rhombus-shaped patterns, and the edge of the blade is not straight. It's widest point is about half a foot away from the sword, and then, it will arc in the direction of the blade, and after that, it will converge into the tip of the sword once again. Three swords can be combined into a set of 'Tripartite Sword Formation', which was also created by the sixteen Elders of the inner courtyard. It took them a whole four years, and they are now three top-grade Spirit Treasures. "

Before Qian Ning's voice died away, five shadows suddenly appeared from afar, and when Long Xuan saw the five shadows, the cold light in his eyes became more and more, he started to understand the origins of these treasures, and when the five shadows appeared in front of him, Qian Ning's voice sounded from beside him, "Mother's serial blade, a set of five blades, all made of extremely tough black gold, and were fused with profound iron and other supporting materials, each weighing eight kilograms and eight kilograms. With the support of the sword formation, its power has multiplied, and it is also created by the combined efforts of the thirty-six elders of the Inner Academy.

Looking at the ten Psychic magical equipment floating in front of him, Long Xuan had already completely understood the origins of these ten spirit treasures. He asked with a trembling voice: "Are the artifact spirits of these treasures the elders who perished in Braveheart Continent back then?"

When Qian Ning heard Long Xuan's words, she nodded her head with a serious expression.

It turned out that the artifact spirit of these Psychic magical equipment were the Ten Great Honored Warriors who had fallen voluntarily all those years ago. At this moment, Long Xuan felt a faint pain in his heart, the trust these seniors had for him was simply incomparable, but he had not fulfilled the promise he had made to them all those years ago.
