Open up and break into another world

The Azure Dragon Army.

First Palace.

This was the residence of Cang Jiu, the Azure Dragon Army's acknowledged number one expert.

Of course, Cang Jiu was no longer the 'undisputed' number one expert.

Because Man Dun had also demonstrated the strength of a Heaven-Transcending Supreme, some people were already arguing—was Man Dun stronger, or was Cang Jiu stronger?

The name 'Man Dun' naturally reached Cang Jiu's ears.

However, after hearing about Man Dun's strength, Cang Jiu smiled: "I have waited for endless years, and finally, I have found a genius who is barely on my level!"

Yes!

In Cang Jiu's view, Man Dun was only 'barely' on his level.

"Alright! The plan I've been plotting for so many years can finally be implemented!"

With that thought, Cang Jiu walked out of his palace and headed straight for Xu Ming's 'Eighth Palace'.

The Azure Dragon Army's territory was so small, and Cang Jiu made no attempt to hide his direct approach to the Eighth Palace, naturally attracting the attention of many people.

"Look! Cang Jiu is heading straight for the Eighth Palace!"

"Could it be that Cang Jiu is just heading in that direction, but he's not actually going to the Eighth Palace?"

… …

Speculation abounded within the Azure Dragon Army.

However, soon, the strong individuals within the Azure Dragon Army saw that Cang Jiu's destination was indeed the 'Eighth Palace'.

"Man Dun!!"

Outside the Eighth Palace, Cang Jiu shouted loudly; his voice passed directly through the formation and into the Eighth Palace.

"Hmm?" Inside the palace, Xu Ming couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Cang Jiu? What is he doing here? Does he can't wait to fight me?"

Xu Ming couldn't help but think: "Heh! If he really can't wait to fight, then I might as well teach him how to behave!"

Xu Ming had never taken Cang Jiu seriously.

However, just as Xu Ming was wondering what excuse he could use to leave the Azure Dragon Army camp to lure the enemy out, Cang Jiu came directly to his door.

"What is it?" Xu Ming's voice came from inside the palace.

Cang Jiu smiled and said, "Man Dun, I'm already outside your palace. Aren't you going to invite me in for a sit-down?"

"Haha!" Xu Ming laughed.

Boom—

The palace door opened directly, but Xu Ming did not come out to greet him, only his voice came from inside: "Come in!"

"Heh!" Cang Jiu chuckled, not minding, and stepped directly into Xu Ming's palace.

… …

Inside the Eighth Palace.

Xu Ming and Cang Jiu sat down as host and guest.

"Man Dun?" Cang Jiu sized up Xu Ming impolitely.

"Mm!" Xu Ming nodded lightly, looking at Cang Jiu, wanting to see what his intentions were.

"I've already heard about your deeds!" Cang Jiu smiled again. "You've been low-key and patient for a long time, and only recently, after you've completed your training, have you revealed your talent! Very good! Very good! Looking at the entire Three Realms Universe, there are very few who can be as low-key and patient as you!"

Cang Jiu praised him directly from the start. But… listening to his tone, there was a feeling of "a senior encouraging a junior."

Xu Ming certainly heard it, and couldn't help but feel a little displeased, wondering if he should strike first and teach Cang Jiu how to behave, lest he continue to be so arrogant.

"However…" At this time, Cang Jiu said again, "I've also come from your stage—just like you are now, accomplished in cultivation and full of vigor! But I still want to advise you, it's okay to be a little high-profile, but next, when you should be low-key, be low-key. Don't underestimate other geniuses!"

Don't underestimate other geniuses?

Hearing this, Xu Ming asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Cang Jiu, do you mean… that I shouldn't challenge you casually?"

Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh—were you afraid that I would snatch your 'First Token'? Otherwise, why would you be in such a hurry to come to my door before I even challenged you?

"You could say that!" Cang Jiu smiled indifferently. "I'm just reminding you! If you don't believe me, you can directly challenge me, and I will definitely accept; but then… you will probably find that the gap between a genius like you who has just emerged and a genius like me who has accumulated many years of foundation is huge!"

Cang Jiu's meaning was very simple—you, Man Dun, are just a rising star who has just emerged. You are far from my level!

Xu Ming couldn't help but be a little dazed: Is he so arrogant?

Putting aside everything else, just because of your arrogance, Brother Ming wants to slap you a few times!

Xu Ming couldn't help but smile: "Cang Jiu, you didn't come here just to provoke me, did you?"

Was Cang Jiu's tone anything but provocative?

However, Cang Jiu shook his head with a smile and said, "No! It's not provocation, it's just a reminder! Lest you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, directly challenge me, and then be beaten up by me! Of course, I came to you mainly because there are other things!"

Is this not provocation?

To be honest, Xu Ming wanted to drag Cang Jiu directly to the Azure Dragon Battle Stage and ravage him.

However, since Cang Jiu said that there were other things, Xu Ming wanted to see what else there was.

Cang Jiu continued, "Man Dun, you should have heard that I have the strength to challenge the members of the 'Azure Dragon Grand Formation'!"

"Yes!" Xu Ming nodded slightly—he had indeed heard of it.

"Then do you know why I haven't challenged the members of the Azure Dragon Grand Formation for so many years?" Cang Jiu asked and answered himself, "Not because I don't have enough strength, but because of a secret!"

"A secret?" Xu Ming immediately became interested.

"That's right!" Cang Jiu smiled and said, "This secret can only be known by the holder of the 'First Token'. It's about a legacy!"

About a legacy!?

Xu Ming's spirit immediately perked up—besides trying to escape the pursuit, wasn't another reason why he entered the Three Realms Universe for the treasure of the Three Realms Great Lord?

"Could it be… related to the treasure of the Three Realms Great Lord?" Xu Ming couldn't help but speculate.

Cang Jiu continued, "This legacy didn't exist before. It suddenly appeared hundreds of millions of eras ago!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming's eyes lit up even more—suddenly appeared hundreds of millions of eras ago?

Hundreds of millions of eras ago was precisely when the Three Realms Great Lord fell!

The timing was so coincidental… Xu Ming increasingly felt that this legacy was related to the treasure of the Three Realms Great Lord!

But Xu Ming also had doubts, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Since there is such a good thing, why didn't you go and accept the legacy yourself? Don't tell me you were especially waiting for me to appear!"
