After the Second Palace Master left, only Xiao Chen remained at the top of the Heaven Dragon.
The hazy moon reflected Xiao Chen's current mood. The earlier scene had simply shocked him too much.
The strength of the Heaven Dragon went without saying.
However, even such a strong Heaven Dragon lost to the current Dragon Emperor, enduring inhumane torture.
However, what Xiao Chen knew was that the seven outer palaces were qualified to fight for the Dragon Emperor's inheritance.
The Dragon Emperor of any generation could only sit on the throne for five hundred years.
This was similar to the dynasty's emperor. One could not sit on the throne forever. Otherwise, with the Dragon Emperor's cultivation, there would be no need for a replacement for ten thousand years.
This was clearly not a good thing for the empire.
If they suppressed the other bloodlines for a long time, not giving them any hope, it would be hard to avoid conflicts over time.
Furthermore, this was not good for the Golden Dragon bloodline. Without competition, no matter how many resources one occupied, the Golden Dragon bloodline would decline sooner or later.
However, while the seven outer palaces were qualified, in reality, the position of Dragon Emperor had never been given to a Dragon Race cultivator born in the Heaven Dragon Palace.
The mixed-blood dragons and True Dragons of the Heaven Dragon Palace could not compete with the Divine Dragon cultivators with better resources and stronger bloodlines.
Although there were many of them, they were still at the bottom.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and stopped thinking about this for now. It was still too far away.
When he saw the sealed Heaven Dragon still exuding a soul-stirring aura, Xiao Chen realized that he was not strong enough.
As for the fight for the position of Dragon Emperor, Xiao Chen felt that he had to return to the Kunlun Realm to ask the Dragon Horse seniors if he had the opportunity.
At this moment, Xiao Chen only focused on the Supreme Dragon Fist that the Heaven Dragon chanted at the end.
The completed Supreme Dragon Fist was a completely new Fist Technique compared to the Supreme Dragon Fist that Xiao Chen obtained before.
The mental state of that person twenty-five years ago had undergone an earth-shattering change compared to twenty-five years later.
The meaning of the word "supreme" was completely different.
Compared to the former, the latter's horizons and structure were much higher.
The former only cared about being invincible, while the latter wanted to be immortalized for generations to come. It involved the Dao of Spacetime, and in the end, it even surpassed spacetime.
It was clearly unreliable to try to comprehend everything.
Moreover, although he was strong as the Heaven Dragon, that was only his own understanding, not Xiao Chen's.
Right now, Xiao Chen only wanted to absorb as much as he could before modifying the Supreme Dragon Fist.
Xiao Chen made the Supreme Dragon Fist suitable for him and reduced its drawbacks.
Xiao Chen could feel the soaring resentment when he held the secret manual.
The Second Palace Master had considered this when he agreed to let Xiao Chen meet the Heaven Dragon. He was indeed concerned about Xiao Chen and did not want to lose himself in the Supreme Dragon Fist.
The morning glow dyed the horizon red. The sun leaped out of the clouds and the sunlight shone on the entire Heaven Dragon Palace.
Xiao Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on top of the Heaven Dragon, was the first to be baptized by the morning light.
However, at this moment, he was immersed in yesterday's harvest and did not open his eyes.
The Spiritual Energy waterfall below, where the Heaven Dragon statue lowered its head, gave off a multicolored glow under the morning light.
At this moment, the air felt incredibly clear. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The sun had just risen when the three core disciples of the Heaven Dragon Palace — Yi Xin, Jue Yun, and Li Luo — arrived at the Profound Dragon Platform.
After the three exchanged simple greetings, they sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes. Then, in this misty place with abundant Spiritual Energy and the Heaven Dragon statue, they meditated and cultivated bitterly.
The morning was the most important part of the day. Everyone's mind, Qi, and spirit were at their peak at this moment.
It was clear that the three were very disciplined people, not wasting any good time in the morning.
They had been living like this ever since they became heaven-class core disciples. They were very disciplined.
Not long after, a few silhouettes walked over.
These were the ones who obtained the qualifications to become heaven-class core disciples: Xiao Jinyu, Zhang Ye, Yi Qianyun, Qin Yan, and Fang Tianyi.
In the Heaven Dragon Palace, the Profound Dragon Platform could be considered a holy land in the hearts of all the disciples. More or less, they all dreamed of cultivating here one day.
Although it was not convenient for the reserve disciples to enter the main peak, they could still cultivate here.
The five of them were quite curious and looked around respectfully.
"What pure air! The Spiritual Energy is unimaginably abundant."
Yi Qianyun took a deep breath. As he stood on the mountain and looked at the morning sun in the east, he felt this from the bottom of his heart.
The others stood before the Spiritual Energy waterfall and used their hands to receive it.
Under the illumination of the morning sun, the Spiritual Energy waterfall gave off a multicolored glow, looking very beautiful.
When they felt the coolness in their hands, the five revealed smiles. Yi Qianyun discovered that the spiritual fog directly turned into a handful of clear spiritual water.
Yi Qianyun used his hands to cup the water and drank it.
He immediately felt a cool sensation wash over his internal organs. He exclaimed excitedly, "What refreshing spiritual water! To think that the Spiritual Energy can turn into a waterfall. This is incredible."
When Yi Qianyun looked down, the Spiritual Energy waterfall turned into a meandering stream, looking like a long dragon coiling around the main peak.
The five found it hard to hide their joy. Even Zhang Ye, who had kept a tense expression, melted under such a beautiful scene, revealing a warm smile.
Just at this moment, the five felt a gaze on them and turned their heads to look.
Li Luo and the other two, who were cultivating, opened their eyes at the same time and looked at them calmly.
The five felt startled and quickly apologized respectfully, "Senior Brother Yi Xin, Senior Brother Jue Yun, Senior Sister Li Luo, sorry for interrupting your cultivation."
Interrupting someone's cultivation was extremely rude. In serious cases, it might even result in a huge battle.
However, Li Luo and the other two only smiled faintly, not showing any intention of blaming them.
The only female heaven-class core disciple, Li Luo, smiled and said, "It's fine. It's our first time at the Profound Dragon Platform. It's hard to avoid some emotional fluctuations. We all had similar experiences back then."
Xiao Jinyu and the others heaved a sigh of relief. When they thought about their earlier actions, they felt embarrassed.
They were Holy Venerates, after all, and some of them came from large clans. Yet, they behaved like children.
To alleviate the awkwardness, Xiao Jinyu asked, "Senior Sister, are the three of you the only heaven-class core disciples in our Heaven Dragon Palace?"
Li Luo replied, "Naturally not. Even if we only choose one heaven-class core disciple each time, the Heaven Dragon Palace has more than three heaven-class core disciples. However, some have already gone to Ancestor Dragon City, and some have obtained permission to go out on experiential training. "
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, why are you not going out on experiential training?" Yi Qianyun asked out of curiosity. It was rather strange for heaven-class core disciples to always cultivate on the main peak.
Li Luo did not say anything. Jue Yun smiled bitterly and said, "We want to as well. However, the sect has rules. If we do not meet the requirements, we are not allowed to leave the sect. It is the same for you now. Even if you have matters to attend to, you are not allowed to go out unless you obtain the approval of the three Palace Masters. "
The moment Jue Yun said that, the expressions of Zhang Ye and the other two changed slightly. Wasn't that equivalent to being trapped in the Heaven Dragon Palace?
Compared to being a core disciple, they had even less freedom.
"What requirements do we have to meet?" Zhang Ye asked, recovering his indifferent expression.
Li Luo pointed to the Heaven Dragon head on Ten Thousand Feet Cliff and said, "It's very simple. Fly up and stand at the top of the Heaven Dragon. After that, you can leave."
What a strange requirement!
The group revealed doubtful expressions as they looked up. They could not understand why there was such a strange requirement.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinyu's expression changed. He exclaimed, "There is someone up there!"
Li Luo took a look and said, "It's Xiao Chen. He came very early and probably sat there the entire night."
"Whoosh!"
The expressions of Xiao Jinyu, Yi Qianyun, and the others changed slightly. They felt an indescribable sense of disappointment.
Even the joy of becoming a reserve heaven-class core disciple and entering the Profound Dragon Platform to cultivate faded significantly.
It turned out that Xiao Chen had already ascended the Profound Dragon Platform. Furthermore, he had climbed to the top of the Heaven Dragon, which even the three heaven-class core disciples could not reach.
"It is just ten thousand feet. I am a middle-stage Holy Venerate. Could it be that I cannot go up?"
Yi Qianyun snorted coldly, feeling unconvinced in his heart. Suddenly, his aura soared to the limit, turning into a strong wind that soared into the clouds.
"Be careful!"
Before Li Luo and the others could stop Yi Qianyun, they saw Yi Qianyun charge up, rising to a third of the way up.
"Haha! It turns out that he is only so-so."
Although Yi Qianyun felt some pressure, he discovered that it was still bearable. It was not impossible for him to go up.
The instant Yi Qianyun looked up, he discovered that the clouds had scattered at some point in time, revealing the true appearance of the Heaven Dragon head.
Xiao Chen also saw the blurry figure in the clouds clearly.
However, before Yi Qianyun could think of anything, the Heaven Dragon statue seemed to come to life.
The statue roared, and the might of the Heaven Dragon descended from the sky.
"Pu ci!"
Yi Qianyun vomited a mouthful of blood, unable to resist at all. Then, he got knocked into the air, falling towards the deep chasm.
The expressions of Li Luo and the others changed slightly. It would be difficult to climb back up after falling off the cliff.
Furthermore, Yi Qianyun was injured. If no Elders made a move, he would be in danger.
