Mo Chen explained, "Clearly, we cannot focus on every aspect of the construction of a city. After the general outline was done, I contacted the various merchant associations of the Heavenly Starry Ocean and got them to participate. This is a major reason why Heaven Dragon City is so prosperous now. "
Mo Chen's explanation was a great eye-opener for Xiao Chen. Her insight and horizons completely surpassed Xiao Chen's in this aspect.
If Xiao Chen were in charge of the construction of Heaven Dragon City, he definitely would not have thought so far ahead.
As Xiao Chen looked at the bustling Heaven Dragon City in the plaza in the middle of the city, he felt extremely moved. When Xiao Chen first met Mo Chen in the Cloud Sea Domain, he probably could not have imagined that such a girl would personally help him build a city that would revive the Dragon's Gate.
To Xiao Chen, reviving the Dragon's Gate was actually something he could do. What Xiao Chen excelled at was the cultivation of the Martial Dao. If not for Lan Shaobai and Mo Chen, he would not even know how to revive the Dragon's Gate.
As for the future of the Dragon's Gate, Xiao Chen did not have much thought or ambition. Reestablishing the Dragon's Gate was out of a sense of responsibility as a descendant of the Qing Emperor.
However, if Xiao Chen wanted to be like the Qing Emperor back then, leading the Dragon's Gate to rule the entire Kunlun Realm, he would not be interested. Xiao Chen's pursuit was the supreme Martial Dao, to break through to the peak.
The tragedy of the Dragon's Gate's destruction in the past also told him that he could not go overboard with some things. The Qing Emperor looked like he swept through the world, unrivaled. However, there was a fact that could not be ignored.
The Dragon's Gate was destroyed at the hands of the Qing Emperor.
What Xiao Chen hoped for was a healthy Dragon's Gate, one that could continue the inheritance of the Dragon's Gate's Sect Masters. Even if Xiao Chen died one day, the spirit of the Dragon's Gate could continue on, never to be extinguished.
However, this seemingly simple desire was filled with variables. The factions that feared the Dragon's Gate were not willing to see the words' Dragon's Gate 'reappear in the world.
This time, Xiao Chen wanted to make his stance known to the world.
Xiao Chen was a descendant of the Qing Emperor. The Xiao Clan's bloodline flowed in his veins. He was duty-bound to rebuild the Dragon's Gate. Why did he have to act like a thief and hide? It was not like he was doing something shameful.
As Mo Chen watched Xiao Chen stroll around the plaza in a daze, she understood his pain.
Too many factions in the Kunlun Realm feared the words "Dragon's Gate." No matter how simple Xiao Chen's wish was, in the eyes of these people, they absolutely could not let Xiao Chen fulfill it.
When Xiao Chen made the decision to announce the rebuilding of the Dragon's Gate to the world, the one under the most pressure would definitely be Xiao Chen. When the news spread, it would definitely shake up the entire Kunlun Realm. On that day, the insignificant Heavenly Star Island might not be able to withstand such pressure.
Xiao Chen had obviously considered all of this, but he still made this decision without any hesitation.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, what are you thinking about?" Mo Chen laughed, interrupting Xiao Chen's thoughts.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and smiled. He did not give a direct answer. He opened his palm, and a flower appeared. It was the Dragon Blood Flowers that he found in the dragon grave.
"There is nothing to thank you for. These are Dragon Blood Flowers that I found in an Eight Star dragon grave. Take them."
Under the veil, Mo Chen revealed a joyful smile. She cupped her hands together and accepted the flowers.
The flowers drifted down from Xiao Chen's hands and piled up in Mo Chen's hands.
"Hehe! The Dragon Blood Flower is an extremely rare existence. If I bring these flowers to the auction of the Heaven Dragon in the lower realm, they will definitely cause a huge commotion," Mo Chen said with a smile.
Xiao Chen stopped what he was doing and said, "It's best if you don't. Keep them for yourself. I still have other treasures that can be placed in the auction. These are my gifts to you."
Mo Chen nodded and carefully put away the Dragon Blood Flowers. "Whatever you say. Come, I'll bring you to the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet. That place has already become a forbidden land of Heavenly Star Island."
Xiao Chen was very curious about the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet as well. He really wanted to take a look. What exactly was inside the mountain tablet that allowed Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai to improve so much?
Through Mo Chen's conversation, Xiao Chen learned that Lan Shaobai had accidentally touched this mountain tablet and discovered its mysteries.
After entering, he found himself in an ancient battlefield. After killing his way out of the battlefield and arriving in the real world, he was shocked to discover that the Martial Techniques that he practiced in the illusion could be used in the real world.
However, at this moment, only an instant had passed in the real world.
After hearing Mo Chen's explanation, Xiao Chen could not help but feel even more interested. To think that the things that he learned in the illusion could be used in the real world. Furthermore, no matter how much time passed in the illusion, it was just the blink of an eye in the real world.
To cultivators whose time was precious, this was simply a great killing tool.
After a while, the two left Heaven Dragon City and arrived at the foot of the tallest peak of Heavenly Star Island.
This peak towered into the clouds. Spiritual Energy lingered around it, and it was lush and green. Xiao Chen had chosen this peak to be the Dragon's Gate's summit long ago. There were many talented children on the mountain who received the teachings of Yu, Jin Lin, Liu Ke, and the others. They were the future of the Dragon's Gate.
This was the Dragon's Gate's summit in the first place. Furthermore, the existence of the mountain tablet made this place even more important. Hence, the masters of Lan Shaobai and Lan Tianji personally oversaw this place.
To prevent information from leaking out, aside from a few trustworthy people, the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet was not given to anyone else.
Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Chen saw this Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet in a secluded and quiet place.
Xiao Chen had chosen the location of the mountain tablet himself. The mountain tablet was made of Heaven Subduing Rock. When placed at a suitable location, it could guard Luck and gather the surrounding geomancy.
The Qing Emperor had written the words "Dragon's Gate" on the mountain tablet. Every stroke of the two ancient words was like a powerful bladesman brandishing a treasure saber, clean and efficient, boundlessly free and at ease.
Near the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, Xiao Chen saw two people seated cross-legged with their eyes closed. Their expressions changed continuously as if they were in some kind of illusion.
"Gong Yangyu and Xuanyuan Zhantian!"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. Why are these two old friends from the Sky Dome Realm here?
Mo Chen explained, "Heaven Dragon City has recently become famous. Furthermore, this is your territory. Many of your cultivators pretended to be your old friends and came to join you. However, most of them were swindlers. Chen Xi saw through them and verified their identities. You should know them, right? "
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate that he knew them. Then, he revealed a faint smile on his face. It was good that they came. People tended to reminisce about the past. Furthermore, the Dragon's Gate needed these outstanding talents to join it.
Now, the name of the Blue Dragon King, Xiao Chen, was already known to everyone in this vast and boundless oceanic world.
The stories about Xiao Chen spread like wildfire, like he was a living legend. It was not strange for people to pretend to be his old friends and come to Heavenly Star Island.
"Where's Senior Lan? Why don't I see him?" Xiao Chen asked, finding it strange as he looked around. Wasn't Senior Lan supposed to personally guard this place?
"Haha! Even you can discover him. In that case, I'm called the Life Reaping Asura for nothing."
Lan Chaofeng silently appeared beside Xiao Chen. It was like he had been there for a long time.
Then, he disappeared without a trace.
This startled Xiao Chen. No wonder even a Sovereign Martial Emperor feared him. If the other party wanted to kill him, he would not even know how he died.
Lan Chaofeng smiled as he looked at Xiao Chen. That pair of eyes made Xiao Chen feel like he could not hide any secrets.
"Not bad. It looks like the rumors are true. Little Friend, your harvest this year is pretty good."
Xiao Chen asked, "Senior already knows about it?"
Lan Chaofeng nodded and said, "News travels very fast in Emperor Wu's circle. You are one of the hottest topics in our circle. Even if I do not leave my residence, I know about your various exploits in the Dragon Grave Sea, the Dark Sea, and the Human-Demon Sea. "
Xiao Chen did not find this strange. Emperor Wu was the peak of the entire Kunlun Realm. Ordinary people would find it hard to see or hear news about them. However, that did not mean that they did not exist. They paid attention to the entire Kunlun Realm at all times.
There was no major matter that they did not know about.
As the two spoke in riddles, Mo Chen could not make heads or tails of their conversation. However, she could tell that it was good news about Xiao Chen, so she did not mind.
"You are here to check out this Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, right? This mountain tablet is indeed profound. Even someone of my cultivation actually got lost in the illusions." When Lan Chaofeng mentioned the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, he also appeared shocked, unable to understand it.
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. "Senior can use this Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet?"
"I can use it, but it is not very useful. After all, after advancing to Martial Emperor, the cultivation of Law Energy is no longer of much use. I have already tested it. There is no way to cultivate Primordial Energy in there. It is more for cultivating Law Energy and tempering one's combat techniques, "Lan Chaofeng explained.
This is not bad. If I have time in the future, I can come and experience it properly.
After chatting with Lan Chaofeng for a long time, Gong Yangyu and Xuanyuan Zhantian woke up one after another. When the two saw Xiao Chen, they naturally showed pleasant surprise on their faces.
Xiao Chen had always been easygoing to his own people, never putting on airs. This made Gong Yangyu and Xuanyuan Zhantian feel that they had come to the right place.
After saying their goodbyes, Mo Chen led Xiao Chen to the top of the mountain. There, he saw Yu, who was currently teaching a group of youths martial arts.
Xiao Chen could not tell that this Yu was originally a pampered Young Miss. Now, when she taught a group of children, she was very methodical and had the proper bearing. Her aura had changed greatly.
Originally, Xiao Chen had been planning to observe quietly before visiting an old friend. However, the sharp-eyed Yu discovered him. She immediately dragged him out excitedly, wanting him to teach this group of children on the spot. She even wanted him to take a disciple.
Right now, how could Xiao Chen have any intention of taking a disciple? However, he did not know how to deal with Yu's coaxing and pestering.
In the end, Mo Chen, who had been watching from the side for a long time, smiled happily and helped Xiao Chen resolve this problem. However, Xiao Chen still promised Yu that after he advanced to Martial Emperor, he would come and take a disciple.
After that, the two went to visit Yue Chenxi, Jin Lin, Liu Ke, and Xiao Xian, the first batch of people who had followed Xiao Chen to Heavenly Star Island of their own volition.
When Xiao Chen saw that these people's cultivations all improved at a startling rate, he relaxed. In the end, he did not let them down.
Back then, when these people agreed to come, Xiao Chen was most worried that staying on Heavenly Star Island would affect their cultivation in the Haotian Sect. Now, it looked like his worries were unfounded. If they had remained in the Haotian Sect, they would not have improved as much as they did now.
