Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 281, the first layer of the magic array, Ji Lingchen undergoes tribulation!

At this moment, not to mention all the geniuses and elders of the two halls, even Shangguan Lin himself was very surprised.

Although Feng Ruoxi had met Gu Jiancheng at the Heavenly Pride Banquet, the two seemed to have no other interaction.

Why are you speaking up for Gu Jiancheng now?!

"Aren't you elders being a bit too arrogant and bullying by targeting a junior like this?"

Just as everyone was surprised and confused, Feng Ruoxi had already descended in front of Shangguan Lin.

She was dressed in a silver-feathered robe, her black hair cascading down her back; just standing there, she exuded the noble aura of a superior.

Even the holy kings couldn't help but lower their heads, completely overwhelmed in terms of aura.

Faced with Feng Ruoxi's questioning, they stammered and had no courage to speak again.

As one of the four major powers of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, the Feng family has an extremely deep family foundation, and Feng Ruoxi is favored by many Supreme Elders of the Dao Palace who have ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Not to mention them, even the elders of the other three major forces dare not provoke this woman.

"Hehe, if you seniors don't want to say anything, then I'll say a few more words."

"The Holy Refining Pool is managed by the Supreme Elder of the Dao Palace. Whether there are any problems or not is up to them."

"Moreover, there are no rules in the Holy Refining Pool that prohibit the use of external objects."

"Therefore, no matter what method Gu Jiancheng used to resist the power of the ninth layer of the magic array in the Sacred Pool, it is not considered a violation of the rules."

"Then what qualifications do you seniors have to threaten to target us?"

Feng Ruoxi continued to speak with a cold laugh, making the elders blush with embarrassment.

They simply couldn't stand seeing such an arrogant outsider causing the disciples of the Dao Palace to lose face, but they never expected that Feng Ruoxi would stand up for this boy!

"Heh, and you too? I heard there's a betting game going on?"

At this moment, seeing that the elders had nothing more to say, Feng Ruoxi turned to look at Xu Chong.

"The Xu family is a prominent family in the Dao Palace. Now that they have lost, they shouldn't lose face as well as their reputation, right?"

"Senior Sister Ruoxi, I..." Xu Chong's face turned green in an instant.

He knew, of course, that if he turned his back on them, the Xu family would be heavily criticized.

But if he kneels down to Gu Jiancheng, how will he ever be able to stay in the Dao Palace again?

The Xu family will still become a laughing stock in the entire Dao Palace!

But she had no other choice when facing Feng Ruoxi.

Only when Feng Ruoxi's gaze had gradually turned cold did he suddenly turn around and kneel down directly in Gu Jiancheng's direction.

"You are my father!"

Xu Chong roared, then quickly turned around and hurriedly left the place.

But at this moment, the fire of shame and anger in his heart was about to consume his body.

He vowed that he would repay this humiliation a thousandfold, at any cost!

"Miss Ruoxi, thank you..." At this moment, Shangguan Lin also quickly cupped his hands in thanks.

If Feng Ruoxi hadn't suddenly appeared, he wouldn't know how to resolve the situation today.

If this interferes with Gu Jiancheng's cultivation, he will go crazy.

"No need to be polite. I'm here to find Gu Jiancheng. When he comes out, bring him to see me."

Feng Ruoxi remained serious and said only one sentence before turning and leaving.

Although she was also shocked that Gu Jiancheng had activated the ninth layer of the magic array.

But since she knew in advance that there were ancient restrictions within the magic array space, it was not surprising that she was able to hold on.

This will only make her more curious about Gu Jiancheng.

Judging from the current situation, Gu Jiancheng is unlikely to emerge from the Sacred Pool anytime soon, so there's no need for her to wait any longer.

Shangguan Lin continued to bow in the direction Feng Ruoxi had left, without raising his head.

hum!

But at that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the sacred pool behind him, causing it to tremble violently.

Even the Dao Palace trembled slightly at that moment.

A sudden surge of spiritual energy erupted from the sacred pool, forcing all the surrounding cultivators back.

After staggering, Shangguan Lin quickly used his Saint King realm aura to resist and regain his balance.

But when he turned around, he was shocked to find that all the spiritual water in the entire sacred pool was now shooting into the sky.

A powerful spiritual pressure surged forth, destroying almost all of the magic arrays.

The disciples who were in seclusion there were also affected, and were swept to the shore of the sacred pool by the raging tide!

Although these disciples were initially shocked and angry, after all, their cultivation had been interrupted.

But when they looked up at the center of the sacred pool, they were instantly stunned, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Even Feng Ruoxi, who was preparing to escape into the void, suddenly turned around and looked at the Sacred Pool, her beautiful eyes sparkling with dazzling light.

Because at this very moment, within this sacred pool, all the spiritual water is like clouds hanging down and the sea rising, suspended upside down in the sky, and then surging towards the center!

A beam of magical light shot towards the sky, transforming into an ancient mark that shone brightly across the heavens and earth!

"This is... the tenth layer of the magic array!?"

Feng Ruoxi couldn't help but gasp.

As one of the four strongest prodigies among the younger generation of the Dao Palace, she had challenged this tenth-level magic array several times.

Even the momentary pressure from the sudden formation was too much for her to resist, let alone waiting for the formation to fully condense.

Therefore, she knew how terrifying the tenth layer of the magic array was.

Even if one's cultivation level is high enough, if one's talent is not strong enough, or even if one does not have a powerful enough treasure to protect one's body, one cannot expect to persist in it!

At that time, she even used the Heavenly Phoenix Seal, but ultimately failed because her own physical body was not tough enough.

But now, Ji Lingchen has actually successfully activated the tenth level of the magic array?

That's right, at this very moment, it is the magic array in the center of the sacred pool that is triggering this extraordinary phenomenon!

Ji Lingchen has been in seclusion here for two years, and now he has finally surpassed all his peers, becoming the first person in the history of the Dao Palace!

"Ruoxi, I sense the aura of an ancient magical artifact; it's even stronger than mine!"

"This Ji Lingchen is indeed powerful. He opened the tenth layer of the magic array with the help of ancient restrictions and ancient magic artifacts. It will be difficult for your generation to catch up with him." At this moment, the white phoenix said in a deep voice.

"An ancient magical artifact?"

"Aunt Bai, are you saying that the person who saved me in the secret realm that day was really him?" But Feng Ruoxi asked with a bitter expression.

"Tsk..."

But the white phoenix hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ruoxi, I'm not sure. I feel like it might not be."

"That's good!"

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ruoxi even felt a sense of relief.

"Once I've mastered the cultivation technique I obtained from that secret realm, I'll be able to activate this tenth-level formation!"

Click!

But before Feng Ruoxi could turn around, a sudden clap of thunder arose in the sky.

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Feng Ruoxi couldn't help but look up, only to discover that above the Sacred Pool, swirling clouds of tribulation were gathering, with lightning arcs churning in the mist like a flock of dragons.

Lightning tribulation!?

"Is Ji Lingchen going to use the power of the Sacred Refining Pool to overcome the Saint King Tribulation!?"

"Wow! If that's really the case, then wouldn't Ji Lingchen truly become the number one in Tianquan Palace?"

"After two years of secluded cultivation, Ji Lingchen is poised to reach the pinnacle and dominate his peers in the Dao Palace!"

For a moment, everyone outside the sacred pool gasped.

It should be noted that even Jiang Tianchen, who is widely recognized as the strongest junior, has not yet broken through to the Saint King realm.

If Ji Lingchen succeeds, he will be the youngest Saint King in the Dao Palace and the undisputed number one among his peers!

Even at this moment, the void above the sacred pool continued to crack, and one after another extremely powerful figures descended from the sky.

There were eight people in total, all of whom were at the half-step immortal realm.

They were enveloped in the dazzling radiance of the Holy King, and the overwhelming pressure caused all the cultivators below to kneel down in worship.

"Greetings, esteemed Palace Masters!"

At this very moment, the eight hall masters of the four main halls of the Supreme Holy Path Palace descended upon the Holy Pool, all for one person!

That is, Ji Lingchen!

"Hehe, Ji Lingchen has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. Now I understand that he wanted to use the power of the tenth layer of the Holy Refining Pool's array to help himself attract an even stronger Heavenly Tribulation!"

"That's right, the stronger the heavenly tribulation, the more dazzling the holy king's radiance will be, and the stronger the holy king's foundation will be!"

"Not only that, this will also make the power of the Heavenly Tribulation even more terrifying. Even those with heaven-defying abilities will find it difficult to survive!"

"Haha, Old Monster Shentu, you don't know this. The tenth layer of the Holy Refining Pool's array is an ancient restriction set up by the Palace Master. It has the function of protecting the disciples inside. So as long as Ling Chen is still in the array, he can withstand the power of the Heavenly Tribulation by relying on the restrictions of the ten layers of the array and the power of the spiritual water!"

"Today, the strongest and youngest Holy King will be born in my Ji family!"

For a moment, all the hall masters spoke up, but only the Ji family elder was the most proud.

From then on, all other prodigies could only look up to Ji Lingchen!

What the Ji family elder didn't know was that Gu Jiancheng had already completed the final mark within the magic array space.

With a sudden tap, the tenth layer of the magic array was activated!
