up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were a sunken underground palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of the underground palace was divided into two layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One layer was about the maze and correct passages in the Lingyun Cave secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other layer was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divided

together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is exactly the entire Nine Provinces!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the center of this reduced version of the Nine Provinces, there was a high platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the high platform, stood a tombstone and a throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tombstone looked like the back of the throne!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the throne, there was something that looked like a bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the lower side of the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lay a huge Qilin

wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the illumination of the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reduced version of the Nine Provinces trembled slightly, emitting light in unison to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the emergence of bursts of mysterious power of Heaven and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A water curtain slowly appeared in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covering the entire underground palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Array?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi raised his brows upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking slightly, he understood Emperor Xuanyuan's intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Vein involves the luck of the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it possesses supreme power, it cannot be easily used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it will affect the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to ensure the normal operation of the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had left a backup plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it detected a stranger approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Vein would automatically unite with the surrounding miniature version of the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forming an array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important point was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other arrays might gradually lose their effect due to the passage of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this array would not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Dragon Vein itself possessed supreme power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Nine Provinces did not perish, the energy of the Dragon Vein would be inexhaustible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the array would naturally continue indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason the array was only activating now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was mainly a trap deliberately set by the Xuanyuan Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose was to trap everyone who wanted to get their hands on the Dragon Vein here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>159-Seven Emotions and Six Desires Array, the shock of the Heaven Gate members!
