Looking at the geniuses before him, he nodded slightly. However, just as the four Dao Sovereigns were about to say something, one of their faces changed abruptly. He glared at the leader of the ten geniuses and said, "All of you … have broken through to the Full Circle of the Sky Human stage?"
They hadn't noticed it at first, but when they realized that the Ten Great Prides had all reached the great circle of the Sky Human stage, the four Dao Sovereigns felt their hearts tremble.
Theoretically speaking, it was possible to break through to the great circle of the Sky Human stage in the Five Dao Palace without any hindrance. However, that was only if one had enough Dao intent seeds. Obtaining Dao intent seeds was easier said than done. In the past, those who managed to break through to the Sky Human stage were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, let alone the great circle of the Sky Human stage.
They were shocked by the Ten Great Prides' improvement, but this was just the beginning. Next, the four Dao Sovereigns looked at the other geniuses, and their expressions became increasingly interesting. All the peerless geniuses had broken through to the low level of the Sky Human stage, while the top geniuses had all reached the great circle of the Earth Spire stage. This …
This was crazy. Everyone had improved by leaps and bounds. God knows how many Mind Reading Ghosts they had to kill in order to achieve this.
Their hearts were filled with shock. This was definitely the greatest harvest they had gained since the appearance of the Five Elemental Dao Palace. While the four of them were still in shock, Mu He looked at one of the white-haired old men and said, "Granduncle, why are you here? Doesn't the Five Elemental Dao Palace require Sovereigns to open? "
The old man was from the Mu Family. In terms of seniority, he was Mu He's granduncle. Hearing Mu He's words, the old man snapped out of his daze and a solemn look flashed across his eyes. The entire Heavenly Chen Continent was in a state of chaos. The old man sighed softly and finally spoke.
"Something has happened in the Heavenly Chen Continent. The Sovereigns are having a hard time getting away, so …"
He didn't hide anything from the other geniuses and told them everything that had happened in the past few days. Hearing that Nine Firmaments Palace's Heavenly Sword Peak had been massacred by the four Demon Envoys, Xiao Chen's face fell.
Heavenly Sword Peak had been massacred? How was that possible? Without hesitation, Xiao Chen prepared to return to Nine Firmaments Palace. Clearly, the Sovereigns had expected this. Thus, one of the four Dao Sovereigns who came to receive them was the Peak Lord of Nine Firmaments Palace.... Additionally, he was acquainted with Xiao Chen.. Holy Maiden Peak's Su Zhen..
As for Fairy Hundred Flowers, who was still waiting for him in Five Elements City, Xiao Chen had no time to take care of her. Originally, he had planned on bringing Fairy Hundred Flowers back to Nine Firmaments Palace to meet Qin Shuirou after he was done with the Dao Palace of Five Elements. At present, however, it would appear that that was no longer possible. Thus, he temporarily entrusted Fairy Hundred Flowers to Ouyang Rouxue. After he was done with Nine Firmaments Palace, he would go to Heavenly Pill Valley to pick her up.
Taking out a teleportation talisman, Su Zhen brought Xiao Chen and the disciples from Nine Firmaments Palace away. As for the others, they would naturally return to their own places.
Using the teleportation talisman, they quickly returned to Nine Firmaments Palace. The first thing they did was rush towards Heavenly Sword Peak. The one they worried about the most was Qin Shuirou.
They headed straight for the Immaculate Residence. Although Heavenly Sword Peak had suffered a calamity, Qin Shuirou continued to stay in the Immaculate Residence.
Inside the Immaculate Residence, Xiao Chen saw Qin Shuirou with his white hair. Ignoring the drastic change in Qin Shuirou, he strode forward and pulled Qin Shuirou into his embrace. He said softly, "It's good that you're fine."
Although Xiao Chen had learned from Su Zhen that Qin Shuirou was fine, he could only relax after confirming it with his own eyes.
They hugged each other silently. After some time, Xiao Chen began worrying about the changes in Qin Shuirou's body. His white hair did not ruin Qin Shuirou's beauty. Instead, it accentuated Qin Shuirou's cold temperament. He looked like a sacred ice lotus, one that could only be admired from afar and not profaned.
At the same time, due to the gradual awakening of the Ice Divine Constitution, Qin Shuirou gave off an increasingly cold aura. With the exception of Xiao Chen, no one else could approach Qin Shuirou.
Qin Shuirou didn't hide anything from Xiao Chen. He truthfully told Xiao Chen everything that had happened to him. When Xiao Chen heard that Qin Shuirou had the Ice Divine Constitution and that the first Demon Envoy had planted a mark in his body, Xiao Chen found it hard to accept.
In just a few days, the changes in the Heavenly Star Continent were simply too great. And the changes around Xiao Chen were even greater. But in any case, it was good that Qin Shuirou was fine. Moreover, after the first Demon Envoy took away the Blood Demon Mark, it seemed to be a good thing for Qin Shuirou.
In the past, when the Blood Demon Mark was in Qin Shuirou's body, it was as though a shackle had been placed on her, making it impossible for her to unleash the full potential of the Ice Divine Constitution. Now that the Blood Demon Mark was gone, the Ice Divine Constitution was gradually revealing its Heaven-defying abilities.
Qin Shuirou was fine, but Cang Xuan and the others weren't as lucky. Accompanied by Qin Shuirou, Xiao Chen arrived at the back of the Heavenly Sword Peak. There were tens of thousands of graves there. These graves belonged to those killed by the first Demon Envoy that night. The cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace had gathered here and buried them.
The three graves at the front belonged to Cang Xuan, Cang Long and Cang Yun. Looking at the three graves before him, Xiao Chen's feelings were indescribable.
Cang Xuan could be said to be Xiao Chen's mentor. Back when he was in the East Sword Pavilion, Xiao Chen was just a minor Yellow Realm cultivator. He was not even one of the Ten Prided Kings.
As he grew, Cang Xuan was gradually unable to teach him anything. At the same time, he was also unable to give him much support. However, in Xiao Chen's heart, Cang Xuan would forever be his most respected master. Not even the Pill Cloud Sovereign could compare with Cang Xuan in Xiao Chen's heart. Without Cang Xuan, he wouldn't be where he was today.
"Master …" Unknowingly, tears flowed down from Xiao Chen's eyes. Looking at Cang Xuan's grave, there were thousands of words that he wanted to say. However, it was as though something had blocked his mouth, preventing him from saying a single word.
It wasn't just Cang Xuan. Qin Heng and Qi Yan had also fallen that night. There was also Mo Jie. It could be said that the first Demon Envoy had snatched away most of the important people by Xiao Chen's side.
Looking at Qi Yan and Qin Heng buried behind Cang Xuan's grave, Xiao Chen couldn't help but recall the first time he went out to temper himself.
At that time, although Qi Yan was very fierce to him and had even tricked him time and time again, Xiao Chen didn't know that Qi Yan had always been silently protecting him. And in the days that followed, Qi Yan had always been like an elder sister who cared about him. Even in the end, Qi Yan's strength couldn't compare to Xiao Chen's, Qi Yan still used her own methods to care for him.
Many people said that Qi Yan was a she-T. She had a violent temperament. However, only Xiao Chen knew that under that violent temperament, Qi Yan also had a gentle side. This was a gentleness that belonged solely to Qi Yan.
Master, Martial Uncles, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters. Xiao Chen and the people around him were suddenly separated by yin and yang. Looking at the tombstone in front of him, Xiao Chen knelt down. These were all indispensable people in his life, the people closest to him. But now, they were suddenly gone. Without a word, Xiao Chen just knelt there.
