"Blue Dragon King!"
Seeing the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace's people flee, all the guards on the city walls cheered. The tyrannical air of kingship that Xiao Chen exuded slowly settled.
When Xiao Chen looked back, he saw Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai. They exchanged looks and smiled, understanding each other without saying anything.
The flood dragon war chariot carried Xiao Chen away. Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai waved their hands to get the others to move back. Then, they leaped onto the war chariot.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, did you succeed?" Mo Chen asked anxiously.
Lan Shaobai also had a look of anticipation in his eyes. Both of them knew that Xiao Chen had left Heavenly Star Island in search of a way to quickly advance to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor.
Given that Xiao Chen could even toy with the half-step Emperor Wu, he must have found a way.
Xiao Chen nodded and gave a simple explanation of his experiences. Then, he said, "This time, not only did I advance to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor, but I also condensed a Heart of an Emperor and can cultivate Primordial Energy."
After the two of them received a definite answer, a sincere smile appeared on their faces, brimming with a strong sense of joy.
Lan Shaobai guffawed and said, "It looks like the City Lord's Residence will be holding a grand banquet tonight. We will not return until we are drunk."
Xiao Chen replied. Then, he asked about the ins and outs of the matter at the city gates. What exactly was going on?
Lan Shaobai hesitated for a while before saying, "Mo Chen, you tell him. This is your decision as well."
Xiao Chen looked over doubtfully. Could there be more to this?
Mo Chen nodded and said, "I used the manpower of the entire Heavenly Star Island and some of the secret techniques in the Book of Heavenly Works to complete the general outline of Heaven Dragon City half a year ago.
"At the same time, the winery on the island and the refining mountain manor on Black Flame Island started operating as well. As you know, we have the Dragon's Gate Treasure Trove and the Green Dragon Chamber of Commerce. We have all sorts of peak ores and rare materials. "
"As soon as the city was built, it quickly became operational. In less than a month, it became the commercial center of the Western Sea. Dabao and I worked together to take out a few treasures from the Dragon's Gate's treasure trove and hold an auction at regular intervals. "
"The flow of people in Heaven Dragon City immediately increased, completely surpassing that of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Sea Dragon City. The various merchant associations of the Heavenly Starry Ocean are also fighting to establish themselves in Heaven Dragon City, bringing in a lot of tax revenue."
Xiao Chen was slightly speechless. The Heaven Dragon City was like a behemoth. Once it was in operation, the speed at which it rose was unbelievable.
Mo Chen continued, "The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace became envious of the huge benefits. Three months ago, their Young Master brought people over, wanting to work with us."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Work together? What kind of cooperation?"
Mo Chen shook her head and said, "Although they said it was a cooperation, it was essentially banditry. They said that the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace would provide security for Heaven Dragon City and then take fifty percent of our profits every year."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "This plan is really good. Since when did we need their protection?"
Naturally, there was no need to elaborate on what happened after that; it was easy to guess. Naturally, Mo Chen could not agree to such a cooperation. Hence, the other party kept sending people to cause trouble.
Mo Chen sized up the situation. Before Xiao Chen returned, she chose to endure and not do anything. Hence, the scene that Xiao Chen saw at the city gates happened.
Lan Shaobai added, "The more despicable thing is that the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Young Master spoke arrogantly. Back then, he even wanted to remove Mo Chen's veil. If not for Master appearing and scaring him away, the consequences would have been hard to imagine."
There was such a thing? Xiao Chen felt some rage in his heart as he looked at Mo Chen. Mo Chen smiled calmly and said, "It's fine. He can't get close to me. My cultivation has not fallen behind in the past year."
Xiao Chen looked carefully and discovered that it was not just Mo Chen. Even Lan Shaobai's cultivation had improved significantly in the past year, both advancing to Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor.
Mo Chen had the Book of Heavenly Works, the cornerstone treasure of an ancient sect. It was perfectly compatible with her, so it was not strange for her to have such improvements. The strange thing was Lan Shaobai.
Although Lan Shaobai had excellent talent and had the support of the Dragon's Gate Treasure, Heavenly Star Island was not an excellent experiential training ground like the Astral Battlefield, after all. How could he have made such improvements?
Mo Chen noticed Xiao Chen's doubts. She said, "I know what you are wondering. The answer lies in the Dragon's Gate's mountain rock that you brought from Bright Moon City."
Lan Shaobai said, "Only now do I know that the Dragon's Gate's mountain rock made from Heaven Subduing Rock not only has the effect of gathering Luck for the sect but is also an excellent experiential training ground. There are many Dragon's Gate's heroic spirits there. Yu, Yue Chenxi, and the others are all cultivating there."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. Back then, when he first saw the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, he had indeed seen an illusion. However, he did not expect that the illusion had other mysteries and could be used for cultivation.
In the one year that Xiao Chen was gone, the changes that happened to Heavenly Star Island caught him off guard, a pleasant surprise that was too unexpected.
However, Xiao Chen could not let his joy go blind. He had to think of a way to deal with the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace.
"What do the two of you think about the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace?" Xiao Chen asked.
At the mention of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace, the smiles on Mo Chen's and Lan Shaobai's faces slowly vanished. Worry flashed on their faces.
The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace had deep accumulations. The Western Sea Dragon King was a Sovereign Martial Emperor, and the two Vice Palace Masters were as strong as Emperor Wu. Furthermore, the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace could summon the various Marquises at any time. Simply put, this was a huge faction.
The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace had dominated the Western Sea for more than ten thousand years. If they were not angry, they could flatten Heavenly Star Island.
Mo Chen said, "Heavenly Star Island still has the Bushin Palace behind it. The Western Sea Dragon King does not dare to make a move. I'm just afraid that he will play some tricks, sending people to harass us. After all, Senior Lan cannot make a move casually."
Lan Shaobai said, "We do not have to worry about this right now. With Xiao Chen around, if they dare to send people to harass us, they will just be seeking their own humiliation."
As Xiao Chen listened to the two, he realized that they were both very smart people. However, they could not think of any good ideas at this moment.
The reason was none other than accumulations. Heavenly Star Island's accumulations were far inferior to that of a veteran overlord like the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace.
"Big Brother Xiao, you already have a countermeasure in mind?" Mo Chen was very intelligent. When she saw Xiao Chen's expression, she could tell that something was amiss.
Lan Shaobai looked over curiously. Xiao Chen just returned, and he already had a countermeasure. This was too inconceivable.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I do indeed have a countermeasure. Actually, when I returned, I already thought about it. I can deal with the tough bone that is the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace and let the Western Sea Dragon King know that Heavenly Star Island is not as simple as it looks on the surface. "
"What countermeasure?"
Xiao Chen's tone was calm as he slowly said, "Announce to the world that the Dragon's Gate will be reestablished!"
When Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air. They had not expected Xiao Chen's countermeasure to be so shocking.
Although they knew that Xiao Chen's future goal was to use Heavenly Star Island as the foundation to rebuild the Dragon's Gate, they did not dare to do so. However, Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai had not expected it to happen so early. This was truly unexpected.
"Isn't it a bit too early?" Lan Shaobai asked.
Mo Chen did not say anything, but she clearly had the same question. Right now, Heavenly Star Island's accumulations were far from sufficient.
During the time that Xiao Chen was away, Lan Shaobai and Mo Chen could be considered the true decision-makers of Heavenly Star Island. There was no need for Xiao Chen to hide his thoughts from them.
After organizing his thoughts, Xiao Chen said, "Actually, compared to those Holy Lands, no matter how much Heavenly Star Island develops, we will not be able to reach their accumulations within a hundred years. It doesn't matter if we announce it earlier or later. It doesn't matter. "
"Since that is the case, why not announce it earlier? Erecting the Dragon's Gate's signboard would definitely speed up Heavenly Star Island's development."
When the two heard this, they were stunned. They had not thought of this problem. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed like it was as Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Chen continued, "I am a descendant of the Qing Emperor in the first place. Furthermore, I am the Blue Dragon King personally appointed by the Thunder King. I possess the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. It is perfectly justifiable for me to erect the Dragon's Gate's signboard. I have to stand upright and be open and aboveboard. There is no need to have too many misgivings. "
Lan Shaobai looked at the determination and stubbornness in Xiao Chen's eyes. Then, he smiled and said, "I am fine with it. From the moment you agreed to let me accompany the Haotian Sect, I already made my choice. No matter what you decide, I will support you.
"The Tsing Lung Scheme is your legend in the first place. I will continue to write it down. I also look forward to the Martial Dao Convention you promised me."
Under the veil, Mo Chen smiled faintly and said, "I never object to the things you have decided."
Upon hearing the two's words, Xiao Chen felt warmth in his heart. Then, he solemnly thanked Mo Chen.
Lan Shaobai smiled and said, "Erecting a signboard might seem easy, but there are too many things to consider. Let's put this matter aside for now. You just returned to Heaven Dragon City today. Let Mo Chen bring you around the city. "
Lan Shaobai got out of the chariot. He had to be thinking carefully about how Xiao Chen should proceed with his decision.
Xiao Chen recalled the first time he met Lan Shaobai. The other party's arrogance was still fresh in his mind. Even now, Xiao Chen was somewhat curious about it. Back then, when Lan Shaobai went to the oceanic world, what kind of blow did he suffer that made him lose the idea of writing the Tsing Lung Scheme by himself?
"Put away the war chariot. I'll bring you around Heaven Dragon City."
Mo Chen's words pulled Xiao Chen back to reality. He smiled faintly and put away the flood dragon war chariot. Then, he followed Mo Chen and strolled around Heaven Dragon City.
The streets and alleys were filled with people. The entire Heaven Dragon City was dozens of times more lively than before it was destroyed. Only by walking around could one feel such a change.
Occasionally, the patrolling guards would greet the two respectfully when they saw them.
After Mo Chen brought Xiao Chen around the bustling business district, she led Xiao Chen to the unique Heaven Dragon Dueling Ground. Every detail of the dueling ground was modeled after the Dragon's Gate's ancient city. Several things had already lost their inheritance.
Being able to reappear in Heaven Dragon City was very attractive to some cultivators.
For example, there were walls with the Dragon's Gate's Sages carved on them. As long as one cleared a few stages, one could personally touch them and feel the Martial Techniques the Sages left on the walls.
There were many such things. As Xiao Chen walked around, he discovered that several experts of the Heavenly Starry Ocean chose to set up camp here. There were even half-step Emperor Wu who opened a dojo and built his own dueling ground.
