After saying goodbye to Ying Zongtian, Xiao Chen brought Mo Chen to the scarlet graveyard once more.
As Xiao Chen looked at the sky and the dense scarlet clouds that remained all year round, he frowned slightly, not knowing what to do.
Sin was hard to get rid of. Aside from purifying it, it would be hard to find any other means to cleanse it.
Unfortunately, the cultivators in the Kunlun Realm who had fortuitous encounters and learned how to purify them would find it hard to purify such vast sin.
The truly capable one was the Buddhist sect's Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva. The Buddhists specialized in this in the first place. Furthermore, the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva was a peak esteemed monk from the ancient Buddhist sects.
This was really problematic. At his wits' end, Xiao Chen could not think of a good solution. Even the Prime Ying Zongtian could not do anything about it. What could Xiao Chen do?
"Mo Chen, do you know how to get rid of this sin?" Xiao Chen asked softly as he looked at the scarlet clouds.
Mo Chen shook her head. Even with her vast knowledge, she did not know how to get rid of this vast sin.
However, she made a mental note to go back and search for ancient texts on sin to help Big Brother Xiao resolve this problem.
Xiao Chen had only asked casually. When he saw the situation, he said softly, "Let's go back."
…
Two days later, the Dragon's Gate's banquet was held as scheduled.
The venue was the plaza where the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony was held. The guests were the same as before, and none of the Dragon's Gate Elders were missing.
The story was still the same. However, the Blue Dragon King was no longer the same as before. Hence, this world was no longer the same.
Xiao Chen still remembered the day of the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment. The various Holy Lands, both overtly and covertly, came to disrupt and obstruct the ceremony.
On that day, the white-clad Blue Dragon King faced the mockery of ten-odd Holy Lands' First Elders alone, nearly shutting down the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony.
However, today, the same scene and nearly the same people appeared.
However, during the Dragon's Gate's banquet, these people greeted Xiao Chen with smiles and congratulated him. The situation was completely reversed.
Xiao Chen was rather open-minded and did not mind too much. More or less, these sects had helped him during his Great Tribulation of wind and fire.
There was no need to take the disputes seriously. After all, there was no feud.
After noon that day, Xiao Chen began to prepare for a lecture on the Dao. He was going to tell them everything he knew about the Dao.
The Holy Lord, the clan leaders of the ancient clans, and many other people of virtue and prestige had all come for the same reason.
Seeing that they were finally getting to the main topic, they all revealed joyful expressions and listened with anticipation.
Xiao Chen sat in the middle of the great hall. Mo Chen, Yue Bingyun, and the many Dragon's Gate Doyens accompanied him. The chairs on the left and right sides of the room were occupied by important figures.
There was the Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Lord, the Yinyang Utopia's Grotto Mistress, and many other Patriarchs. Nearly all the major characters of the Heavenly Starry Ocean who could hold their own were here.
After Xiao Chen calmed his emotions for a while, he prepared to speak. "I am just a beginner in the Great Dao Energy and do not know much. I will only speak about what I know and what I comprehended. I hope that everyone will not be disappointed."
"The Blue Dragon King is too humble. You are the first cultivator to gain the Dao in the Post-Ancient Era. You proved that the Great Dao Energy is not something of legend. That is already enough for you to be proud of. There is no need to be humble. "
The Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Lord smiled faintly as he spoke the truth, half flattering Xiao Chen.
Actually, this was the truth. Xiao Chen was indeed just a beginner. However, compared to these Holy Lords, he was much stronger.
Xiao Chen did not bother with pleasantries. Then, he started to speak about the Dao. However, just as he was about to speak, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then, they charged forward. Their strong auras and tyrannical auras overturned everything in their way. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Earlier, they were at the horizon. In the blink of an eye, three figures arrived uninvited and entered the great hall.
The newcomers were the three giants of the Deity Dao Union — Emperor Forsaken, the Dongyue Ghost Emperor, and the Heaven Punishing Prime.
Xiao Chen's heart sank. He felt slightly angry, but his expression did not change.
However, the expressions of the many honored guests changed drastically. These three giants were all Primes. This was especially so for Emperor Forsaken. He was now publicly acknowledged as the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm.
"Senior Deity Sovereign!"
The honored guests seated in the chairs all stood up and greeted the Deity Sovereign.
At this moment, the respect for the strong was also fear for Emperor Forsaken. The atmosphere immediately turned strange.
Who could have imagined that the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment banquet would attract all three of the Deity Dao Union's Primes?
Emperor Forsaken exuded a strong presence. He had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Xiao Chen and said, "I came uninvited. Little Brother Xiao Chen, I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Chen retorted indifferently, "What if I mind? This place does not welcome anyone from the Deity Dao Union."
Some people could be forgiven, but others could never be forgiven. The three before Xiao Chen were the latter.
Xiao Chen drew a clear line in his heart, not willing to hide the disgust in his heart. The moment he spoke, the atmosphere turned tense.
Emperor Forsaken smiled faintly and said, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, why get angry? Isn't it a sermon? Can't we add three more chairs? "
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God said coldly, "Brat, don't be ignorant. Do you really think that you are a major character on equal footing with us? It is your honor that the Deity Sovereign is giving you face."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "That is the honor of those dogs by his side, not me, Xiao Chen!"
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God's face darkened. "You dare to scold me?"
A berserk aura burst out of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's body. The entire hall started shaking. An oppressive aura was unleashed, causing the guests to be startled.
Everyone felt fear in their hearts. This was the rage of a Prime. No one dared to endure it.
"That's right. I am indeed scolding you."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, appearing calm and at ease. He only casually took a step forward and endured the other party's aura, not letting the Dragon's Gate's people endure it.
Calm and unruffled, angry but not flustered. This was the current Xiao Chen.
The smile on Emperor Forsaken's face did not fade. He stretched out his hand to block the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, who was preparing to attack. He said, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, since you are not going to welcome us, let's just leave.
"However, before we leave, there is a debt that we need to settle."
The smile on Emperor Forsaken's face disappeared. He was finally going to state the purpose of this trip.
"There are countless debts between us. If you really want to settle them, can you finish them?"
Xiao Chen revealed a cold smile. Although he was no match for a Prime now, there was no need to be too afraid.
At the very most, he would just burn indiscriminately. No one would benefit from that. There was no need to be polite to the other party.
Furthermore, the other party personally coming to the Dragon's Gate's banquet was already the greatest impoliteness to Xiao Chen.
Emperor Forsaken ignored the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. He continued, "The Blue Dragon King has always been a bold person. Could it be that you do not want to admit it? Let me ask you this: do you acknowledge the identity of the Shadowless Saber Sovereign? "
Xiao Chen's heart sank. He did not know what the other party was thinking, so he remained silent.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you admit it. Back then, you used the identity of the Shadowless Saber Sovereign to severely injure the Divine Son. It is time to settle this debt properly today."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he smiled coldly in his heart. That's right. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign is indeed me. I was also the one who injured Di Wuque.
"However, that is because he is not as skilled. However, if you want to cause trouble, you will have an excuse. Let me ask you this: Emperor Forsaken, what exactly do you want? If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to beat around the bush and make things so complicated. "
The other party was here to cause trouble in the first place. He would not give up until he achieved his goal. The so-called settling debts was just an excuse.
Emperor Forsaken said sullenly, "This emperor is not as unbearable as you think. Back then, you chopped down the Divine Son. Today, you have to receive three palm strikes from me. Then, this debt will be written off."
The moment Emperor Forsaken said that, the crowd burst into an uproar. Was Emperor Forsaken not being too much of a bully?
After all, he was the strongest person of the Kunlun Realm, someone who had been famous for a long time. Yet, he wanted a junior to receive three palm strikes from him.
"Divine Sovereign, isn't this a little overboard? The grudges of youngsters. Since the Divine Son is safe and sound, let's just forget about it. "
The Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Lord could not stand by and watch, so he advised.
"Interesting. I can explain the Dao to you all, but you cannot receive three palm strikes from the Divine Sovereign? Since you are advising, how about you receive three palm strikes from the Divine Sovereign? "
The Dongyue Ghost Emperor, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, immediately stopping the Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Lord from speaking.
The remaining people feared the other party's strength. Even though they wanted to advise, they did not dare to say anything.
The tyrannical three giants of the Deity Dao Union ruined the atmosphere of a proper banquet. Everyone felt angry but did not dare to say anything.
