Xiao Chen said seriously, "It is my fortune to receive such care from the Sect Master."
"Most outstanding talents have a Dao Protector behind them. The Sect Master has been your Dao Protector for a long time now. However, this is all he can do. Whether you can take back the King title that belongs to you at the King conferral ceremony half a year later will depend on yourself. "
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, he asked about another matter, "Senior Sister, do you know of any peak refining sects or forging grandmasters that have deep ties with my Haotian Sect?"
"What do you want to do? Forge Secret Treasures?"
"No, I want to ask for answers to some questions. I would like the sect to give me a recommendation letter."
Shui Lingling smiled and said, "That is easy. The most famous grandmaster forging swords in the Profound Domain, Situ Leihong, has deep ties with Master. I'll write a recommendation letter for you. You just need to bring your identity token to meet him.
"He has forged many Sub-Divine Weapons before. He is a legendary blacksmith. He will definitely be able to answer your questions."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he rejoiced. A person who could forge a Sub-Divine Weapon would definitely know the requirements for nurturing an Embryonic Soul into an Item Spirit.
After saying goodbye to Shui Lingling, Xiao Chen brought Yue Chenxi, Gong Yangyu, Jin Lin, and Xiao Xian to his own mountain. Then, he chatted with Dabao and the others for a long time.
Everyone chatted about the past and the Martial Dao. The night passed in the blink of an eye.
At dawn, Xiao Chen went out alone and met with the First Elder, Han Qinghe. From him, he learned some inside information about the King conferral ceremony.
The Thunder King had been in closed-door cultivation. The Holy Lord of the Three Holy Masters's Holy Land was in charge of the Bushin Palace. This time, the King conferral ceremony was extended by half a year.
Another important reason was to create an opportunity for Xiahou Jue of Baidicheng, the head of the Three Holy Masters, to accumulate military merits and meet the requirements of being conferred King.
At that time, he would be conferred the title of King at the same time as Xiao Chen. With the foundation of the Holy Land, he would completely overshadow Xiao Chen's limelight and tell the world who was truly supported by the Bushin Palace.
The Land of the Three Holy Masters had really gone through a lot of trouble. In order to suppress him, they had even used this.
The only good news was that the Haotian Emperor had personally helped him obtain the title of Blue Dragon King from the Three Holy Masters.
After Xiao Chen found out, he didn't say anything. As long as he could get the title of Blue Dragon King, everything was negotiable.
The Haotian Great Emperor had helped him to this step, and he would take care of the rest himself. As for those people who wanted to cause trouble at the King conferral ceremony, Xiao Chen would use his strength to retaliate.
When Xiao Chen returned to the mountain, Gong Yangyu had already left. Lord Jiu and Kim Tae-ho were still sleeping soundly.
When Yue Chenxi saw Xiao Chen return, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother Xiao Chen, after you are conferred King, you will definitely have your own territory. I would like to go with you when the time comes."
"Senior Brother, we are willing to go as well," Jin Lin and Xiao Xian quickly said.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "You are thinking too far ahead. Furthermore, you are all elite disciples of the Haotian Sect. Whether you can go or not depends on Elder Han."
Yue Chenxi smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry about this. First Senior Sister was the one who told us about this. Since she agreed, Elder Han and the Sect Master will definitely not have a problem."
Jin Lin and the other two said, "Now, it will depend on Senior Brother's opinion."
If Xiao Chen succeeded in being conferred King and given his territory, he would be able to establish his own sect even though he would still be under the Haotian Sect. At that time, he would definitely need help.
Xiao Chen's original plan was to use this as the base for the Dragon's Gate in the future.
If he wanted to restore the Dragon's Gate to its former glory, he would not be able to do it alone. Yue Chenxi, Jin Lin, and the others would definitely become grandmaster-level Martial Sages in the future. If Xiao Chen sincerely joined the Dragon's Gate, it would naturally be very beneficial.
However, all this would have to wait until Xiao Chen repaid the Haotian Sect's debt. It was too early to say all this now.
Xiao Chen rejected their suggestions for now. "Many thanks. However, let's talk about this after I am conferred King. If I cannot give you a better future, even if the Sect Master agrees, I will not agree."
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not directly reject them, Jin Lin and the others did not insist. At least, there was still hope.
"In that case, I will take my leave first. Senior Brother Xiao Chen will definitely succeed in being conferred King."
Will he definitely succeed?
Xiao Chen thought about the strength that Di Wuque and the Divine Daughter displayed in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland, the Three Holy Masters's deliberate suppression, and the ancient race's outstanding talents eyeing him covetously.
Xiao Chen's King conferral ceremony was destined to not be peaceful. If he made a mistake, his past would be ruined. Those people would definitely not let go of this opportunity to kick him when he was down.
Collecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen woke up Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu. "Wake up. Stop sleeping. It's time to depart."
Fatso rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze, "Depart? Where are we going? "
"To the Profound Domain's Ying Clan. Help Lord Jiu deal with some illegal goods. The largest merchant association in the Kunlun Realm, the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion, is there. I believe you will be interested."
When Kim Tae-ho heard this, he immediately perked up. Lord Jiu had woken up long ago. He wished that he could sell off all the treasures in his hands.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and spat out the Dragon's Gate's warship. Eighteen sails rose up, and the warship carried Da Bao and Lord Jiu towards the Profound Domain.
A cool breeze blew as the warship traveled through the clouds.
On the warship's bow, Xiao Chen played with the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand. His expression was calm and peaceful. His hair fluttered in the cool breeze, and his white robes fluttered endlessly.
The Flawless saber Dao used the body as a saber and the thoughts as a saber.
However, without a saber in one's hand, something was missing in the end. It would never reach true Flawless.
Only by becoming one with the saber would one be able to cultivate the Flawless saber Dao to Great Perfection. Only by becoming one with the saber could one cultivate the Flawless saber Dao to Great Perfection.
Vaguely, as Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand, he entered a wondrous state of comprehension. The position of the Flawless saber Dao slowly became clear in his mind.
The Flawless saber Dao was not just a Martial Technique. Instead, it was a Dao that Xiao Chen wanted to walk, a Saber Dao that no one before or after could match.
Right now, the Flawless saber Dao was like a newborn baby, with only a rough outline.
When Xiao Chen comprehended it and materialized this saber Dao to its peak, it would not only increase his strength significantly, but it would also benefit the bladesmen in the future. It would give bladesmen in the future another choice, achieving immortality for ten thousand years.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a strand of killing Qi. He squinted and sent out a saber light. The clouds for five kilometers around scattered, and a black-clad man appeared before Xiao Chen and the other two.
Without saying a word, the black-clothed man extended his hand and pointed with a finger. Circles of white light bloomed behind him. Every circle of light contained surging energy, as if they were real. There were a total of one thousand and five hundred circles.
There seemed to be a vague, white, holy tiger in the center of the rings of light, roaring at the sky.
The black-clad man's palm strike scattered the clouds for five kilometers around. As the tiger roared, they suddenly gathered again.
The black-clad man pointed, and a transparent ripple appeared in the sky. A huge index finger extended from the ripple and headed for the Dragon's Gate's warship.
At the same time, many cryptic talisman scripts appeared in the rings of light with the Dragon's Gate's warship as the center. They formed a void formation and locked down space.
When this mysterious black-clad man made his move, he created a horrifying might. Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu, who were on the warship, paled slightly when they saw the gigantic finger descending.
With a thought, a bright moon rose behind Xiao Chen. The dark night hung upside down in the sky. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The instant the bright moon rose, the formation locking down the Dragon's Gate's warship shattered.
When facing the horrifying finger, Xiao Chen also pointed, and the bright moon in the sky vanished. The resplendent moonlight turned into a saber light and shot out from Xiao Chen's fingertip.
The saber light clashed with the gigantic finger, producing a loud explosion in the air. Shock waves surged, lightning bolts, saber lights, sword images, and all sorts of mysterious phenomena flashed continuously in the sky.
The black-clad man pointed with a contemplative expression. Then, he turned around and leaped up, preparing to leave.
"Whoosh!"
However, the moment the black-clad man turned around, he saw Xiao Chen, who had the Freedom Wings spread out on his back, looking at him coldly.
"Brother Xiahou, instead of accumulating one million military merits to be conferred King, you rushed from White Emperor City to the Haotian Province just to point at Xiao Chen. This Xiao is truly honored."
The moment this person made a move, Xiao Chen recognized him. This was the White Emperor City's Holy Son, Xiao Hou Jue. After not seeing each other for three years, the other party had grown to a startling level by relying on the accumulations of the Holy Lands.
Although Xiao Chen had casually pointed earlier, it had the momentum of pointing at the sky and drawing the earth, sufficient to kill some ordinary grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
After being seen through by Xiao Chen, Xiao Hou Jue pulled off his mask and smiled. "There is no need to worry about me. I will definitely be conferred King smoothly. Just worry about yourself. The title of Blue Dragon King is not that easy to obtain."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Let me return the same words to you. Just worry about yourself. Since you gave me a finger, I will give you one in return. "
Snowflakes drifted behind Xiao Chen as he pointed at the completed Winter Saber with the Flawless Four Seasons.
The snowflakes filling the air gathered into a crystalline flower. Behind Xiao Chen, a vast expanse of snow blanketed the mountains and rivers for thousands of kilometers around.
Xiao Hou Jue's expression turned grave as he stretched out his hand. The world turned silent, and a stone finger containing a vast and ancient energy shot out. He quickly pointed out and hit the crystal clear Wandering Flower, and the Wandering Flower instantly shattered.
However, the cold Qi continued to spread and seeped into the ancient stone finger. Cracking sounds rang out, and the stone finger instantly shattered, turning into countless ice shards.
Xiao Hou Jue grunted. He had not expected the cold Qi to be so strange. After suffering a small loss, he said coldly, "Xiao Chen, let's see if you can still be this arrogant after half a year."
Xiao Chen let Xiao Chen leave. Then, he entered deep thought. He stretched out his hand, and the ice shards in the air turned into motes of light and entered his hand, forming another ice flower.
"Four Seasons Like Snow, born and never extinguished. Half a year from now, if this is all you are capable of, I will make you suffer greatly."
The appearance of the White Emperor City's Xiao Hou Jue was both unexpected and reasonable.
For a long time, the Three Holy Masters had been the leaders of the Tianwu Domain's younger generation. Among them, Xiao Hou Jue's ambition was the greatest.
Now, Xiao Chen's fame resounded throughout the entire Kunlun Realm. Although the Dragon's Gate was destroyed, his prestige had already surpassed that of the Three Holy Masters among the Tianwu Domain's younger generation.
However, the prestige of the Three Holy Masters's ten years and the ten thousand years of accumulations of the Holy Lands were much greater than that of Xiao Chen, a person who had risen to prominence only four or five years ago.
