In the main hall of Heaven Dragon Peak, Xiao Chen met with the First Palace Master, Yi Yun, who had been waiting for a long time.
Xiao Chen was about to bow when Yi Yun raised her hand slightly, indicating that there was no need.
"Haha, Xiao Chen, you're really famous in the Outer Palace now. The Palace Masters of the other six palaces have been asking me about you recently. They are very concerned about you. "
The First Palace Master said with a face full of smiles, not concealing the joy on his face.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "This disciple is only doing what a disciple should do."
"Very few. Neither arrogant nor rash. Such a state of mind is indeed rare. You should know why I've asked you to come here today. To tell you the truth, I was planning to tell you after the competition between the seven palaces. "
The First Palace Master sighed softly, "There is still about one more month before the competition between the seven outer palaces begins. If you end up delaying your chance to enter Ancestor Dragon City because of the Five Element Divine Lightning, you will lose more than you gain. If you don't go, it will be a huge loss to the Heaven Dragon Hall. "
The First Palace Master spoke the truth, not hiding his thoughts.
Now that Xiao Chen's reputation had spread far and wide, if Xiao Chen did not appear during the Seven Palaces' Competition, the Seven Palaces' Competition would definitely end up as the Seven Palaces' Competition. Not only would the morale of the Heaven Dragon Hall's disciples suffer, but they would also be laughed at by the other six halls.
The First Palace Master could not help but think about it.
However, since the First Palace Master had already called Xiao Chen over, he clearly already had an idea. "However, after thinking about it, I realized that time waits for no man. The Five Element Divine Lightning is something that can only be found and not sought. If the Five Element Divine Lightning really appears this time, then the losses will be rather great. "
Just like the Taiyi Profound Bomb that Xiao Chen had once obtained, the Five Elements Divine Thunder was something that was extremely difficult to obtain.
Just like the Divine Lightning of Taiyi, it only had a very small chance of being born in the tribulation lightning of heaven and earth.
The Tribulation Thunder of Heaven and Earth did not refer to the tribulation of a cultivator, but the divine thunder that descended when other spiritual beings in this world underwent tribulation.
For example, the Taiyi Profound Lightning had appeared during the tribulation of the Devil-Patterned Thousand-Winged Serpent.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, was more open-minded. He said in a deep voice, "There's still a month left. Time is indeed a little tight. There might be a chance in the future."
The First Palace Master was rather resolute as he denied, "No, you have to seize this opportunity. Sometimes, fate is like this. If I miss this chance, I might lose it for the rest of my life. I can't bear this responsibility. "
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned. That made sense.
In one's life, there are many things that might really be missed if you miss them.
"Where is it?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Thundercloud Ancient Marsh, a dangerous place near the White Marsh Beast Empire. There are endless thunderclouds there all year round, and the lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi is abnormally active. In Thundercloud Ancient Marsh, there is a Fusang Tree that is about to undergo a tribulation. When such a divine tree undergoes a tribulation, there is a high chance that it will produce the Five Elements Divine Lightning. "
The White Marsh Beast Empire was one of the eight great empires, located in the northern region along with the Divine Dragon Empire.
They were all empires established by cultivators who possessed the bloodline of the overlords of the Great Desolate Eon. On the surface, they were allies, but in the dark, they competed with each other.
After all, there were some benefits that could not be divided clearly just by forming an alliance.
"You might run into the White Marsh Beast Empire's people on this trip. Be careful. If there is no need, don't make the first move. Otherwise, you might end up leaving yourself vulnerable, "the First Palace Master warned.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I know."
"Xiao Chen, how long have you been in my Heaven Dragon Palace?" the First Palace Master suddenly asked an unrelated question.
Xiao Chen did not keep track of the exact date. He answered honestly, "I'm not too sure. Almost a year, I think."
Back when Xiao Chen entered the Heaven Dragon Palace, he knew that the competition between the seven outer palaces would begin in one year. Now, the competition between the seven outer palaces was about to begin.
Xiao Chen thought that it should be about a year now.
"It is not almost a year. It is one year and twenty-five days!"
The First Palace Master said with a sigh.
When Xiao Chen heard that, he felt startled, finding it strange. How did the First Palace Master know so much?
The First Palace Master smiled and said, "You must be wondering if I looked through the sect records. No, when you first entered the sect and became enemies with Tian Yun, we, the three Palace Masters, noticed it. When Third Brother insisted on taking you in as a disciple, we even laughed at him, saying that you would definitely not agree. We even made a small bet. "
Xiao Chen revealed an expression of understanding. No wonder the Third Palace Master wanted to take him in as a disciple the moment he entered the Heaven Dragon Palace.
It turned out that the three Palace Masters knew about the test.
It looked like the three Palace Masters paid attention to the Heaven Dragon Palace's junior-generation disciples, regardless of the specifics.
"One year passed in the blink of an eye. Even if I lived to my age, I would have to sigh at how fast time passes."
The First Palace Master Yi Yun revealed an aged expression as he sighed softly.
Indeed, time passed really fast.
During this one year, Xiao Chen had gained a lot in the Heaven Dragon Palace. This should be the year with the greatest gains since he left the Kunlun Realm.
In a short time, Xiao Chen broke through from Star Venerate to middle-stage Holy Venerate.
Furthermore, he learned the Dragon's Gate's Forbidden Technique, Supreme Dragon Fist, Firmament's Rage, Movement Technique, Light of Freedom, and comprehended the Heaven Dragon's mysteries. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
In another month, after the competition between the seven outer palaces, Xiao Chen would leave this place and head to Ancestor Dragon City.
Ancestor Dragon City could be considered the Dragon's Gate's inner palace. Once he entered, he would be a true elite of the Dragon's Gate. At that time, his stage would be the entire northern region, even the entire Central Great Realm.
The four dynasties, the eight empires, the Righteous Dao, the Demonic Dao, the nine layers of the Abyssal Underworld … Xiao Chen would personally participate in everything.
The Heaven Dragon Palace could be considered safe in its corner. No matter how much competition or commotion there was, it would be within the Dragon Race.
There would not be any danger to Xiao Chen's life. Compared to the competition he would face in the future, everything now was just a small matter. This was a rare period of peace.
The First Palace Master was someone with experience. He could see how exciting Xiao Chen's life would be in the future, how perilous it would be.
To Xiao Chen, the Heaven Dragon Palace was just a cornerstone, a springboard for him to establish himself in the Central Great Realm.
The First Palace Master hoped that Xiao Chen would remember the days in the Heaven Dragon Palace, cherish this rare period of peace, remember the Heaven Dragon Palace and the people here.
As the First Palace Master said earlier, many opportunities would disappear once one missed them.
For many places, it would be hard to return once one left. Even if one returned, one would not be able to find the feelings of one's memories, only reminiscing in sorrow.
However, it would be hard for one to understand these things without reaching a certain age.
It was pointless to say too much, so the First Palace Master did not elaborate. He only sighed ruefully. Whether Xiao Chen could understand it or not depended on himself.
Xiao Chen looked at the First Palace Master and said, "First Palace Master, I understand."
The First Palace Master shook his head and said, "You do not understand. There are some things that you can understand. However, if you have not truly experienced them, you can never say that you truly understand them. This trip to Thundercloud Ancient Marsh is hard to predict. I'll give you a talisman. If you activate it at a crucial moment, you can summon a Heaven Dragon clone to protect your life. "
Xiao Chen did not argue. He stepped forward and received the talisman. The image carved on the talisman was that of the Heaven Dragon statue on the Profound Dragon Platform.
Xiao Chen recalled Situ Changfeng's words about the Heaven Dragon statue being unfathomable and boundlessly profound.
The value of this Heaven Dragon Talisman probably surpassed his expectations, making it extremely precious.
Xiao Chen put it away and performed a cupped-fist salute in thanks. Then, he said with a resolute gaze, "Many thanks for First Palace Master's kindness. I promise First Palace Master that no matter what, Disciple Xiao Chen will definitely show up for the competition between the seven outer palaces. In one's life, one would not get another opportunity if one missed it. This was indeed so. However, once one missed some things, one would regret it for life. I can lose the Five Element Divine Lightning, but I absolutely will not miss out on the competition between the seven outer palaces. This is Disciple Xiao Chen's promise! "
If Xiao Chen missed the competition between the seven outer palaces, he could wait another year. However, if he lost the Five Element Divine Lightning, he might have to wait another ten years or even his entire life.
The former represented the collective, Xiao Chen's respect and gratitude for the Heaven Dragon Palace. The latter represented the individual. It concerned Xiao Chen's strength and was a selfish decision.
Xiao Chen's words made his choice very clear.
The First Palace Master was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised that Xiao Chen would take this so seriously. After being stunned for a while, he smiled and said, "I believe you."
"Goodbye."
After leaving the main hall, Xiao Chen looked at the sky outside with a somewhat grave expression.
His figure flashed, and he landed on the top of the Heaven Dragon Palace. Then, he looked at the vast Heaven Dragon Palace again and saw the hundreds of thousands of mixed-blood dragon cultivators moving about in a hurry below.
Most of the time, Xiao Chen really thought that he was one of them.
Xiao Chen had forgotten the fact that he possessed a Grade 8 Blue Dragon bloodline and shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving the Blue Dragon bloodline.
One day, when I become the Dragon Emperor, I will definitely abolish the old system and let the mixed-blood dragon bloodline gain true respect.
Everyone is born equal. How can one use bloodline to determine one's status?
