Sacred Palace, Wuchen Sacred Hall. Xiao Chen couldn't hide his excitement when he received news from Qin Shuirou. Several months had passed since Qin Shuirou's disappearance, and Xiao Chen had been searching for him with all his might. He had never given up, and today, he had finally found him.
After receiving a voice transmission talisman from Baimo Shengzong, Xiao Chen was silent for a moment before he looked at Gudu Wuya and said with a smile, "Prepare the starship. We're heading to the Bai Mo Continent."
Gudu Wuya was now the First Chosen of Wuchen Sacred Hall. His cultivation had reached the Great Circle of the Dao King Realm, and he was only a step away from the Dao Emperor Realm. He was even stronger than Qin Shuirou and the others, and could be considered the strongest person besides Xiao Chen among all the prides of the Tianchen Continent.
Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya used to be rivals, but they were also friends. However, as everyone headed to the Tianhe Continent, Xiao Chen's unstoppable rise gradually widened the gap between him and Gudu Wuya and the others. In addition, with the addition of the Tianhe Continent's Chosen like Chen Yu, Gudu Wuya and the others could only take a step back and become Chosen in the Sacred Palace.
After all, there was still a gap between Gudu Wuya and the others when compared to Chosen like Chen Yu and Xiao Chen. However, Gudu Wuya could definitely become a Chosen if he was placed in a Sacred Sect. Unfortunately, the Sacred Palace was a quasi-Saint Sect.
However, the quasi-Saint Sect's Chosen and the Chosen of a Sacred Sect naturally had a higher status than the quasi-Saint Sect's Chosen. Therefore, becoming a Chosen in the Sacred Palace wasn't a disgrace to Gudu Wuya.
Moreover, after all these years, Gudu Wuya and the others also understood that Xiao Chen was indeed not someone they could compare to. Therefore, they had already calmed down a long time ago.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's order to prepare the starship, Gudu Wuya responded, but he did not leave. Xiao Chen naturally knew what he was thinking. Perhaps it was because he had finally found the whereabouts of Qin Shuirou, but Xiao Chen was in a good mood.
"Brother Gudu, let's go together. Call Huangfu Ao and the others too."
He could tell that Gudu Wuya wanted to go to the Bai Mo Continent with him. Gudu Wuya and the others hadn't been able to go to the Tai Shen Continent the last time. Everyone also yearned to go to the North Star Boundary, but as the Sacred Palace Candidate, Gudu Wuya and the others naturally couldn't leave the Sacred Palace as they pleased. They needed Xiao Chen's permission.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gudu Wuya immediately nodded with a smile. "Okay."
He then turned and walked out of the room. Looking at Gudu Wuya's back, Xiao Chen smiled faintly. It had been a long time since he drank and chatted with Gudu Wuya and the others. Since the establishment of the Sacred Palace, due to the complicated affairs and Xiao Chen's departure to the Tai Shen Continent, the time for everyone to gather together was indeed very rare.
It was rare for them to go to the Bai Mo Continent together to pick up Qin Shuirou, so it could be considered a reunion.
They didn't have to wait for long. In less than two hours, Xiao Chen and the others boarded the starship, left the Sacred Palace, and headed straight for the Bai Mo Continent.
Bai Ruyue had already informed Bai Ruyue of the matter in advance. She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that there was news of Qin Shuirou and that Xiao Chen was going to pick him up personally. She reminded Xiao Chen to be careful on the way, and then Xiao Chen led Baihua Fairy, Gu Lingyao, Gudu Wuya and the others to the Bai Mo Continent. Of course, there were two half-step Saint elders from the Wuchen Sacred Hall and a few Dao Emperor Realm attendants accompanying them.
There were currently many experts in the Sacred Palace. Although the number of Saint Venerables hadn't increased and was still at 46, the number of half-step Saint, Dao Emperor, and Dao King Realm experts had increased significantly.
Some had just joined the Sacred Palace, while others had broken through with the help of the Sacred Palace. With so many half-step Saint, Dao Emperor, and Dao King Realm experts, the Sacred Palace's overall strength had increased significantly. These people were the backbone of the Sacred Palace.
On the way to the Bai Mo Continent, Xiao Chen naturally couldn't avoid drinking and chatting with Gudu Wuya and the others. In any case, they were hurrying through space, so they didn't have much to do. Apart from cultivating, they gathered together to drink and chat about the past.
They were all from the Heavenly Chen Continent, so they were all deeply moved when they talked about the past, especially Xiao Chen. Everyone present had watched how he rose step by step to become the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace in the end.
Even someone as proud as Gudu Wuya, Huangfu Ao, and the others had to admit that Xiao Chen's experience was almost legendary. He had advanced triumphantly all the way and had left his old friends far behind.
However, to everyone's relief, Xiao Chen didn't change much because of his change in status. Although there was a difference in status between them in formal settings, Xiao Chen, Gudu Wuya, and the others were still the same in private. They didn't have too many scruples and rules, and they were still friends and brothers.
There was no delay on the way. After setting off from the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen arrived at the Bai Mo Continent ten days later.
From afar, a continent about the same size as the Heavenly Chen Continent appeared before their eyes. The starship slowly descended and directly arrived at Baimo Shengzong.
They already knew that Xiao Chen was coming in person and had received the news in advance, so when Xiao Chen and the others arrived, the sect master, elders, and the Sacred Palace Dao King Realm attendant who had been watching over Baimo Shengzong were already waiting in the main square.
The Sacred Palace attendant in charge of watching over Baimo Shengzong was from the Long Qing Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Hall. His name was Fei Yan, and he was middle-aged and quite good-looking.
Strictly speaking, Fei Yan didn't need to listen to Xiao Chen's orders because his immediate superior was Long Qing, and he had nothing to do with Xiao Chen's Unsullied Sacred Hall. The ten sacred halls of the Sacred Palace basically operated independently, and there was no superior or subordinate relationship between them.
However, Long Qing and Xiao Chen were sworn siblings, and the entire Sacred Palace knew this. Therefore, Fei Yan naturally didn't dare to slight Xiao Chen in the slightest. Otherwise, Long Qing would definitely skin him alive.
Compared to Fei Yan, sect master Baimo Shengzong was clearly a little nervous. Although he was a Saint, the person who was about to arrive was the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace. He could be said to be an extremely powerful figure in the entire North Star Boundary.
Baimo Shengzong was a little nervous, and various emotions flickered in his eyes. He unconsciously glanced at the calm Fei Yan beside him and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Fei Yan, do you think the Chosen Xiao Chen will blame us if he finds out about what happened in Gu City?"
There was a hint of nervousness in his voice. Fei Yan calmly replied, "Sect master, there's no need to worry. The Chosen is wise. Baimo Shengzong didn't make any mistakes this time, and he even made a great contribution. The Chosen will definitely not blame us, and he will definitely reward us handsomely. Sect master, you can rest assured."
