"Let's go. We should be preparing a celebratory banquet. We should also go and meet Yue Chenxi, Jin Lin, and the others. Their accomplishments on this island are not low."
The Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony ended successfully. Naturally, there had to be a celebratory banquet to properly reward the people of the Dragon's Gate for their hard work. Furthermore, there would be treasures from the Dragon's Gate's Treasure Trove and Xiao Chen's own collection to reward those who contributed.
Shui Lingling smiled and said, "Good. I miss them somewhat as well. Let's see if they suffered at your place."
After the bustling celebratory banquet ended, Xiao Chen returned to his own peak alone.
Then, Xiao Chen took out a Sage Grade Medicinal Pill for treating injuries from the Universe Ring and started to meditate.
Xiao Chen had not rested properly for the entire day. Now, he needed to treat his injuries properly. Otherwise, the repercussions of Deities Descending would be hard to get rid of.
In today's battle, Xiao Chen had blocked fourteen three-kilometer-long gargantuan weapons, bringing out all his trump cards. Now, he had a clear understanding of his own strength.
Xiao Chen's foundation was still far from that of the true Emperor Wu. If it were Emperor Wu with the Golden Body, he would not be as severely injured as Xiao Chen.
Half-step Golden Body. This half-step was a fatal and clear weakness under his seemingly strong appearance.
Now that Xiao Chen calmed down, the tribulation cloud from the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony appeared in his mind again.
The moment the tribulation cloud appeared, the gathering of Luck immediately came to a halt. If Xiao Chen did not get rid of this tribulation cloud, the fate of the Dragon's Gate would come to an abrupt end.
No matter what, the Great Tribulation of wind and fire was an unavoidable tribulation. It became a great worry for Xiao Chen.
Even the Flame Rock Sovereign could not imitate Xiao Chen's Great Tribulation of wind and fire. How strong exactly would Xiao Chen's Great Tribulation of wind and fire be?
Perhaps I should make a trip home before the Great Tribulation arrives.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he opened his eyes and finished digesting the Sage Grade Medicinal Pill and recovering from his injuries.
If the Sky Dome Realm did not allow Emperor Wu to descend and clear this Great Tribulation of wind and fire, he would not be able to return. If he couldn't make it through, he would definitely suffer a terrible fate. He wouldn't even have the chance to return.
As such, there were still more than two years before the Tribulation. He had to make a trip back and meet the people he needed to meet.
…
The West Ocean Dragon Palace, which was not far from the Heaven Dragon Island, was immersed in a depressing atmosphere. Everyone in the West Ocean Dragon Palace, from the high-level members to the servants, felt extremely depressed.
When the Luck of the Dragon's Gate gathered, the clouds in the surroundings surged towards the Dragon's Gate like a vast army. They all saw the huge mysterious phenomenon.
Everyone knew that now that the Dragon's Gate's Luck was formed, the West Sea Dragon Palace, which was closest to it, would definitely be affected.
If they had approached him earlier, the West Ocean Dragon Palace might have taken this opportunity to rise to the next level.
However, that was clearly impossible now. Everyone in the Divine Dragon Palace knew that when the Western Sea Dragon King rushed back from Heavenly Star Island in a sorry state, the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace and the Dragon's Gate had already fallen out.
No one in the West Ocean Dragon Palace could smile when they thought about their future.
In the empty palace hall, Ao Lang drank alone, feeling depressed. His sullen expression inspired fear in others.
As Xiao Chen drank cup after cup of wine, he suddenly saw a trace of scarlet blood in the wine. Ao Lang roared ferociously and smashed the wine cup into powder.
Blood leaked out of Ao Lang's lips uncontrollably. His face twitched in pain.
Even now, the palm strike that the Prime Ying Zongtian sent out had not healed. A vast energy suppressed Xiao Chen's Primordial Energy, preventing his internal organs from regenerating on their own.
"Brother Ao, you are really severely injured this time."
At this moment, in the empty hall, a black figure walked toward them. This person was clearly not from the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace. However, he did not seem to startle anyone along the way.
Ao Lang felt startled. However, when he saw the appearance of this figure, his wariness slowly faded, replaced with anger.
"Heavenly Star Treasure Master, what are you doing here? Earlier, I sought you out to disrupt the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony, but you did not agree. Now that I failed, you are here to laugh at me? "Ao Lang snorted coldly.
This person was none other than Yi Ling's father, the most mysterious and unfathomable Treasure Master of the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
The Treasure Master took out a jade bottle and said, "The Holy Pill in this can quickly heal your injuries."
"What exactly are you here for?" Ao Lang received the Holy Pill and looked at the other party suspiciously.
The Treasure Master smiled faintly and replied, "Nothing much. I'm just giving you a chance to take revenge in the future." ---
Two months later, the commotion over the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment slowly calmed down.
Amid all sorts of controversy and discussions, the Dragon's Gate that was destroyed ten thousand years ago was finally reestablished. Immediately, it attracted countless cultivators who wanted to join the Dragon's Gate. They all wanted to see the glory of the Dragon's Gate, to see what was different about this new Dragon's Gate.
However, Xiao Chen did not open the Dragon's Gate to the public. The new disciples of the Dragon's Gate were all local youths and talented cultivators of Heavenly Star Island.
Firstly, there were not enough resources. Secondly, Xiao Chen did not have any ambitions or any thoughts of expanding his strength.
In the past two months, Xiao Chen did not do much. He only made another trip to the Black Sea and persuaded the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea to give lessons at the Dragon's Gate once a year.
This was equivalent to a Sovereign Martial Emperor personally teaching the Dragon's Gate every month, making up for the lack of peak strength of the Dragon's Gate.
Now that two months had passed, everything in the Dragon's Gate was back on track. Actually, it was not much different from before. However, the cultivators on the island could now puff out their chests and call themselves people of the Dragon's Gate. They no longer had to refer to themselves as cultivators of Heavenly Star Island.
The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace no longer dared to come and mock the Dragon's Gate. After the lesson from the Haotian Prime, Ao Lang would not dare to mess around. ---
At this moment, on a dueling platform on the Dragon's Gate's main peak: Four delicate and pretty youths were waving the long sabers in their hands and practicing the basic saber techniques.
A white figure watched extremely seriously from outside the dueling platform, not missing a single detail. A pretty girl with a mischievous look in her eyes stood beside this person.
Naturally, this person was Xiao Chen. Standing beside him was Yu, who had been in charge of teaching the new disciples.
Basic Saber Techniques had only eight main points: raise, stab, intercept, block, wipe, carry, chop, and chop. The seemingly simple Basic Saber Techniques actually encompassed everything. All the magnificent Saber Techniques that could be used in actual combat could not do without these eight main points.
As someone with experience, Xiao Chen understood this very well. He knew how important Basic Saber Techniques were to a bladesman.
As for why Xiao Chen was here, it naturally had something to do with Yu. Back then, Xiao Chen had promised her that he would take some time out to teach the new disciples. Hence, he got Yu to pick out a few youths with more talented Saber Techniques and give them some pointers.
When the four youths learned that the Blue Dragon King would personally teach them, they were both anxious and filled with anticipation. After they saw Xiao Chen, they all brought out their abilities. All of them executed their Saber Techniques in a tyrannical manner or with a boundless aura, trying to attract Xiao Chen's attention.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he nodded to himself. These four were all very talented. They were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they already touched the threshold of saber intent. They would probably be able to comprehend saber intent in another year or two.
After that, Xiao Chen corrected the Saber Techniques that the four youths used. Then, Xiao Chen instructed the four to focus on practicing Basic Saber Techniques and solidifying their foundations. Furthermore, he personally demonstrated them.
At first, these four youths were somewhat unconvinced. However, after they saw Xiao Chen's seemingly ever-changing yet extremely simple Basic Saber Techniques, they no longer had any complaints.
Occasionally, Xiao Chen would check on these four youths and discover that they had made good progress.
"What do you think, Big Brother Xiao Chen? Will these four treasures of mine be able to produce a Saber Sovereign in the future?" Yu said proudly at the side.
Xiao Chen laughed. This goal was really ambitious. Even he did not dare to say whether he could become a Saber Sovereign or not.
"Hey! Hey! What are you laughing at? Quickly say it!" Yu was unhappy. Right now, her heart ached the most for her group of treasured disciples.
Feeling helpless, Xiao Chen said objectively, "They are all very talented. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem for them to become Martial Sages. If they have sufficient opportunities, becoming Emperor Wu is not a wild guess. However, becoming a Saber Sovereign is a little difficult. "
Yu smiled and said, "Emperor Wu is pretty good as well. If I, Yu, can groom an Emperor Wu, I will be very proud."
"Big Brother Xiao!"
Just at this moment, the veiled Mo Chen appeared on a small mountain path and called out to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen felt excited. It seemed that he had made some progress on the matter that he had entrusted her with, so he could make a move now.
"Yu, I will probably be back for a long time. I'll leave these disciples to you."
Hearing that Xiao Chen was leaving, the four youths practicing the saber immediately stopped and asked, "Sect Master, when will you be back?"
"When you return, we will definitely cultivate our Basic Saber Techniques to perfection."
"Sect Master, what are you going to do?!"
Xiao Chen turned his head back and smiled. "I'm going to meet the person who taught me the Basic Saber Techniques. Cultivate well. When I return, I will test you all."
Xiao Chen saw a shadow of himself in this group of youths. He also remembered the girl who taught him the Basic Saber Techniques at Qingyun Peak. That was a beautiful memory, engraved in his mind. No matter how much time passed, he would never forget it.
"The transportation formation is ready. Are you sure it can send us to the Sky Dome Realm?" Xiao Chen asked anxiously as he arrived beside Mo Chen.
Mo Chen answered, "Dabao already sent someone to deliver the Superior Grade Astral Cores that we need. The transportation formation connecting to the Sky Dome Realm is in the Great Qin Nation's Royal Court."
The Great Qin Nation's Royal Court?
Xiao Chen had long guessed that the Great Qin Nation's Royal Court was a branch of the Kunlun Realm's Ying Clan. Now, it looked like his guess was correct. Otherwise, a lower-realm Royal Court would not be able to control a transportation formation to the upper realm.
"Let's go, then!" Xiao Chen said.
However, Mo Chen did not move. Instead, she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Xiao Chen stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Mo Chen?"
"Big Brother Xiao, are you sure you want to return to the Sky Dome Realm?" Mo Chen asked.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "After two months of quiet cultivation, I can already sense my limits from a distance. Right now, I have to be very careful when I cultivate, not daring to raise my cultivation too much. I need to return to the Sky Dome Realm before my Great Tribulation of wind and fire. "
