At the Profound Dragon Platform in the Heaven Dragon Palace:
All the heaven-class core disciples in the palace were present, a total of thirty-one people. Standing at the very front were Li Luo, Lu Feng, Bai Yunfeng, and Xiao Jinyu.
These four had accompanied Xiao Chen to the gathering of the three outer palaces. In the last month, they had been heavily nurtured and placed high hopes on them.
However, the many Heaven Dragon Palace heaven-class core disciples soon discovered something strange.
Xiao Chen did not appear.
The famous White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen, whom the Heaven Dragon Palace disciples regarded as their spiritual leader, did not appear here.
These disciples immediately showed somewhat unnatural expressions.
"Where's Junior Brother Xiao Chen? Why do I not see him? "
"That's right. This is strange. We are about to depart. Why do I not see him?"
"Could it be that he gave up on this opportunity?"
"In that case, we are in trouble. Without him, there is no leader at all!"
The heaven-class core disciples of each of the seven outer palaces would have their own spiritual leader.
The existence of a leader was not just to boost morale.
In the actual test, a leader could truly help them. The Elders of the various outer palaces would instruct the strongest to take care of the senior brothers and junior brothers behind them.
Otherwise, why would the sect give them so many resources?
Xiao Jinyu's expression turned somewhat grave. He looked at Li Luo, who was beside him, and whispered, "Senior Sister Li, have you seen Xiao Chen recently?"
"No. I went to look for him three days ago. He was not in Cold Moon Cave. I heard from Master that he went out for experiential training. "
"Ah … then why is he not back yet? There are only ten days left. We are about to depart. Why has he not appeared yet?"
The others found this strange. At the same time, they felt somewhat worried. Could something have happened to Xiao Chen?
"Quiet."
On the summit of the Heaven Dragon Palace, First Palace Master Yi Xin gestured for silence, and the noisy discussions stopped.
The First Palace Master sighed to himself. Up until now, there had been no news of Xiao Chen.
He wondered what he had encountered in the fight for the Five Element Divine Lightning.
Fortunately, the life tablet he left in the Heaven Dragon Hall was not broken, and the Heaven Dragon Talisman he gave him was useless.
This meant that Xiao Chen was not in danger. Since he had not returned for so long, the Five Element Divine Lightning must have truly appeared.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have wasted so much time. However, looking at the state of these disciples, their morale had been greatly affected due to Xiao Chen's absence.
Although such a scene was within his expectations, the First Palace Master was still somewhat worried.
The First Palace Master had to say something. After a pause, he said, "I know what you are thinking. First of all, I can tell you that Xiao Chen is fine. However, I can't be sure if he can make it back in time. However, the competition between the seven palaces is ultimately your own affair. It has little to do with the existence of others. "
"Bai Yunfeng, Lu Feng!"
"Your disciple is here!"
The two of them stepped forward and cupped their fists in response.
"Since Xiao Chen isn't here, the two of you will take up the responsibility of taking care of your fellow disciples. Can you do it?"
Bai Yunfeng and Lu Feng said in unison with grave expressions, "We will do our best!"
"Alright! I won't say anything unnecessary. I am not sure about the rules of this competition between the seven palaces. I will only know after entering the imperial capital's Divine Dragon City. No matter what, I hope that you will not feel too much pressure. Even if you cannot enter Ancestor Dragon City, you still have many other options. Heaven Dragon City will always welcome you to stay, "the First Palace Master said sincerely.
The First Palace Master asked sincerely. He clearly understood what Ancestor Dragon City meant to these mixed-blood dragon cultivators.
As long as they entered Ancestor Dragon City, their descendants could remain in Ancestor Dragon City.
His own status within the empire would also be greatly enhanced. The Heaven Dragon Palace also needed sufficient disciples to enter Ancestor Dragon City. That was the Dragon Race's ancestral temple, the core of the Dragon Race's authority.
The more disciples of the Heaven Dragon bloodline there, the more benefits the mixed-blood dragon cultivators in the empire would obtain.
Conversely, their originally low status would be further exploited.
From a certain perspective, the Dragon Race cultivators could not defy the will of Ancestor Dragon City.
"Depart."
A 4-Star hovering warship with the symbol of the Heaven Dragon Palace appeared. Everyone entered the warship one after another.
The First Palace Master said softly, "The two of you, stay here. I will personally lead the team this time."
The Third Palace Master said, "Big Brother, don't feel any pressure. Sending Xiao Chen to search for the Five Element Divine Lightning is for his own good. He has not returned yet. Clearly, he made a major discovery. Even if he improves this time, he can enter Ancestor Dragon City next year. No one can stop him from rising up in the Dragon Race. "
Second Palace Master Jue Yang sighed, "Third Brother, Big Brother is not worried about Xiao Chen. I am worried about this batch of heaven-class core disciples. I feel like I have let them down."
The Third Palace Master entered deep thought, not saying anything more.
Indeed, even though the competition between the seven outer palaces was imminent, they still sent Xiao Chen out. This was somewhat unfair to these disciples who hoped that Xiao Chen would lead them to participate in the competition between the seven outer palaces.
"Xiao Chen promised me that he would rush back. I believe him."
After saying that, the First Hallmaster turned around and boarded the warship.
The Second Palace Master and the Third Palace Master watched the warship leave with heavy hearts.
At the same time, the heaven-class core disciples of the Red Dragon Palace, the Blue Dragon Palace, the White Dragon Palace, the Green Dragon Palace, the Silver Dragon Palace, and the Golden Dragon Palace gathered and headed for the imperial capital, Divine Dragon City.
For the various outer palaces, the annual competition between the seven palaces was a major event.
How many disciples could they send into Ancestor Dragon City? Who could stand out? Who could enter Ancestor Dragon City as the first among the seven outer palaces?
To the Six Colored Divine Dragons, this concerned many resources and practical benefits, both overt and covert.
The Six Colored Divine Dragons appeared to be at peace. However, in reality, the competition in secret had already reached an extremely terrifying level.
In particular, the selection of the next Dragon Emperor's successor was about to begin.
Which divine dragon of the various races did not covet the position of Dragon Emperor?
Under such a background, the competition between the seven palaces this year would definitely be especially important.
The Golden Dragon bloodline definitely had to maintain first place and continue the Golden Dragon bloodline's dominance.
If he lost, it would not be a good sign.
More importantly, it might even affect the bloodline's Luck.
Be it for their own benefits or the fight for the Dragon Emperor's successor, the other Divine Dragon bloodlines needed to do their best to push the Golden Dragon bloodline down in the competition between the seven palaces. ---
Thundercloud Ancient Marsh:
On a mountain peak surrounded by thunderclouds and endlessly flashing lightning:
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and a Dao disk slowly appeared behind him. A brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
With a thought, the Dao disk behind him condensed into a point and continuously elongated until it was ninety-three meters tall.
"Whoosh!"
When this Dao disk condensed into a point and elongated to ninety-three meters, the lightning flickering endlessly in the surroundings suddenly stopped.
In this world, Xiao Chen was like the sovereign of lightning, able to freely control the lightning in the surroundings.
Xiao Chen ferociously waved his hand, and the lightning in the surroundings gathered under his control, forming a terrifying bolt of lightning. Thunderclouds for fifty kilometers churned like a vast army behind him.
Xiao Chen's Thunder Dao surpassed Great Perfection, reaching peak Consummation.
"This feeling is really intoxicating," Xiao Chen said softly.
After Xiao Chen broke through to Great Perfection, his Thunder Dao underwent an overwhelming change.
His grasp of lightning reached a level that even Xiao Chen had not expected.
All of this was due to the Five Element Divine Lightning. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for him to break through?
"It's time to go. I hope I can make it in time for the competition between the seven palaces!"
Absolute confidence flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Now, he was confident of defeating anyone in the outer palaces without using the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.
"Are we leaving?"
Sang, who was in closed-door cultivation in the Divine Universe Stele, asked.
Xiao Chen, who had never left Thundercloud Ancient Marsh before, was somewhat curious about the Divine Dragon Empire.
"Alright, let's go."
The Demon Blood Vulture swooped down from the thunderclouds. Xiao Chen gently leaped up and landed on its back.
When Xiao Chen left Thundercloud Ancient Marsh, many Bloodsucking Vines flickering with electric light silently emerged from the rubble of the desolate plain.
The Bloodsucking Vines intertwined and formed a somewhat strange physical body. The surface of the stone-like physical body flickered with crackling electric light.
"Not bad. Although it is not a physical body formed by the Five Element Divine Lightning, it is still acceptable. I specialize in the Thunder Dao. The fusion of the Bloodsucking Vines' physical body with the Thunder Dao is simply perfect. "
It turned out that this person was the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows that Xiao Chen smashed into the ground. He had actually occupied the Bloodsucking Vines' main body and used them to form his own physical body.
Just at this moment, a scarlet beam of light flashed in the sky.
The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows did not have good vision, but he keenly sensed the existence that the scarlet beam of light represented.
"Xiao Chen, let's meet again another day!"
Intense hatred flashed in the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows' eyes as he descended from the scarlet beam of light and left Thundercloud Ancient Marsh with his new physical body.
