ht levels in order to gradually unlock the seals of the other four Taoist spirit beings.But unexpectedly, Xue Pao reached out to stop him and said, "The reason I set up these levels here in the first..."Om!"

Just as the Blood Sealing Stone was being cut open, before anyone could even see what was inside, a clear and sharp sound like the ringing of a sword echoed in their ears.

The sound pierced their ears, and among the cultivators present, those with lower cultivation bases all let out muffled grunts. Their figures swayed slightly, and blood trickled from their ears.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes. Because he was closest to the Blood Sealing Stone, he felt more acutely than anyone else a sharp power emanating from it, spreading towards him and everyone around him.

This power was incredibly immense, even the ancient spear within Ginger Cloud's body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it wanted to burst out and compete with this force.

Jiang Yun naturally did his best to suppress the Ancient Suppressing Spear, but he also knew he couldn't resist its sharp power, so he could only reach out and grab Gao Song, who was beside him and dumbfounded. The two suddenly retreated backwards.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared before everyone at lightning speed. It reached out and slapped the inside of the Blood Sealing Stone.

"Boom!"

Another deafening roar shook the entire Jishixuan, causing it to tremble violently as if struck by an earthquake. Most people staggered and swayed precariously.

This sudden string of changes left everyone completely unprepared.

Fortunately, the tremor in Jishi Xuan subsided quickly. Everyone came to their senses and hurriedly turned their attention to the direction of the blood-sealed stone, including Jiang Yun, who had retreated ten paces away.

He then saw that the table where the blood-sealed stone had been placed was gone, and in its place stood an elderly man, extending a hand, palms open, and pressing down in mid-air.

And where his palm pressed, a bronze axe hung in mid-air, only half its blade remaining, and trembling slightly.

This old man is the Reincarnation Realm expert who was guarding the entrance to the fifth floor hall earlier.

And the bronze axe he held in his palm was naturally what had been cut out of the Bloodstone.

After a moment of silence, voices suddenly rose and fell one after another!

"Imperial artifact!"

"To be sealed inside the Blood Sealing Stone for so many years, and to possess such great power upon birth, it must be an imperial artifact!"

"It's a pity, it's a broken imperial artifact. If it were complete, its value would be immeasurable."

Voices came from Gu Qianxi and Xu Longxiang, as well as the three appraisers behind Jin Yang.

Although they had long suspected that the Blood Sealing Stone housed an imperial artifact, seeing the axe emerge and the ensuing commotion finally allowed them to be completely certain.

Three people were completely unreserved this time, and everyone else could hear them clearly. One by one, their faces revealed expressions of extreme shock.

Imperial artifacts, as the name suggests, are weapons used by emperors.

Such weapons have long since transcended the ability to be judged by conventional standards of good and bad, but they are undeniably terrifyingly powerful.

The best proof is right before your eyes: this bronze axe.

A broken axe head, so battered and incomplete, wouldn't even be worth picking up off the ground.

It's just such an unremarkable, ordinary axe. After being sealed away for thousands of years, once it appears in the world, it possesses such terrifying power.

If it were in its complete state, and held by a great emperor, the power it possessed would undoubtedly surpass everyone's imagination.

At this time, the old man who had just stopped the axe suddenly looked at Jiang Yun and said, "I, Shi Xuen, offer two million emperor source stones for your axe!"

Upon hearing the elder's words and the price he quoted, the crowd erupted in astonishment once again.

It is obvious that Jishixuan has taken a liking to this axe.

Actually, the reason why Jishi Xuan and the other four shops that sell blood-sealed stones require stones priced over 10,000 to be cut open in their stores is precisely because of this.

Once something good appears in the Bloodstone, at least they can buy it first.

Furthermore, the price offered by this elder was indeed extremely high.

Jiang Yun had bought this piece of Bloodseal Stone for 10,000 Imperial Source Stones. In just a short while, he had already made a profit of almost two million.

Everyone was watching Jian Yun with envious eyes.

Only Jin Yang's gaze toward Jiang Yun was filled with endless resentment!

His heart ached, just as Jiang Yun had said to him moments ago, every bit of pain felt like blood dripping from his soul!

This axe was originally his!

Just because of a moment's hesitation, I didn't want to part with those ten thousand Imperial Source Stones, and now I've lost two million.

Now, he was consumed by a single thought: how to snatch the axe from Jiang Yun's possession, or perhaps the two million imperial source stones it represented!

Faced with the elder's temptingly low price, Jiang Yun fell into thought without responding.

The old man frowned slightly, then continued, "Although emperor artifacts sound very appealing and are indeed powerful, they are not something you can use yourself."

Moreover, this axe is still incomplete, and you cannot restore it.

"Keeping it in your hand is like having a chicken rib - it offers you no benefit, and ultimately you will choose to sell it. It's better to sell it to us now."

"Senior, although you say so," Jiang Yun smiled faintly. "But this is at least an imperial artifact. I haven't even touched it yet, and selling it off right away doesn't seem quite right, does it"

Jiang Yun's words were actually a test of the old man!

This is the site of Jishixuan. The axe is again under the elder's pressure. If the other party really wants to strong-buy it, then I can't protect this axe at all.

Hearing Jiang Yun's answer, the elder also smiled and said: "You are right, I was too anxious. You just take a look first!"

As his words fell, the old man's hand that had been gripping the axe loosened slightly. The axe instantly transformed into a ray of light and shot straight towards Jiang Yun.

Ginger Cloud reached out and grasped it. The moment her fingers touched it, a chill ran through her, flowing from the axe into her body.

This alone allows Ginger Cloud to confirm that this Imperial Artifact is indeed far more powerful than a domain artifact.

Immediately following that, Ginger Cloud's divine sense also entered the axe.

This is a habit of Jiang Yun, or rather, all cultivators. When they get something unknown, they will first use their divine sense to check it out.

And this time, as Jiang Yun's divine sense just entered the axe, a muffled groan suddenly escaped his mouth, and his face turned pale.

Because, within this axe, there was a powerful backlash force that, along with one's divine sense, attacked one's soul, injuring it.

At the same time, the old man spoke again: "Divine artifacts, it's best not to use your divine sense to probe them!"

Ginger suddenly raised his head and gave the old man a cold glance, saying, "Thank you for your advice!"

This old man appeared to be giving a kind warning, but he only spoke after Jiang Yun was injured. He clearly intended to let Jiang Yun suffer a bit.

Ginger Cloud no longer continued to look. With a flick of his wrist, he put the axe away.

Up to this point, couldn't he see that this old man and Jin Yang were basically birds of a feather, not good people at all.

This axe, even if I wanted to sell it, I would never sell it to Jishi Xuan!

However, just as Jiang Yun was preparing to leave with Gao Song, he suddenly heard the elder's voice in his ear, "Two million Emperor Source Stones, plus Jin Yang won't bother you again, for your axe!"

Besides, I also have to remind you that there are so many people watching you get the artifact. If you really take it away, it won't be long before everyone in Sijinzhen will know!

"Young man, it's no big deal if you lose this axe in the end. But if you lose your life because of it, that wouldn't be worth it at all!"

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Senior, are you threatening me"

The old man shook his head and said, "You can take this as a piece of advice from me!"

"Okay, I got it!"

Ginger Cloud ignored the elder and said to Gao Song, "Let's go!"

The two of them immediately strode towards the outside of Jishixuan. And after the figures of the two disappeared, all the cultivators gathered here looked at each other and then unanimously rushed out! Daozi continued, "You can rest assured, everyone. I guarantee this with the reputation of the Yaodaozong. Besides the flames, there is absolutely nothing else in these pills.""Take a close look at th...
