Chapter 641: Leng Tianhe’s Request
“In a few more days, you will be going to the Kunlun Realm. I have a request to make of you.”
Xiao Chen said, “Senior, just tell me. I will definitely do everything within my means.”
Leng Tianhe revealed a hint of worry in his gaze. He muttered, “When an era of geniuses comes, a great calamity will follow. The previous era, five thousand years ago, ended peacefully.
“However, the laws of nature will not change. The coming calamity will probably be the greatest calamity in the past ten thousand years. In the future, if you manage to climb to the peak of the Dao, please take care of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.”
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. “It is hard to reach the peak of the Dao. Senior, this matter is probably too far away in the future. You are overthinking this.”
Leng Tianhe sighed softly and said, “I’m not overthinking this. Ten thousand years ago, the glorious Tianwu Dynasty vanished like smoke. The nine Dragon Veins of the Tianwu Continent escaped, and the Spiritual Energy of the world turned chaotic. Even until today, it has not recovered yet.”
Xiao Chen still felt that Leng Tianhe was being too alarmist. However, after thinking about it, he agreed, “One day, if I manage to reach the peak of the Dao, I will definitely not sit by and ignore the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.”
After leaving Leng Tianhe’s room, Xiao Chen spent another half day refining the Countenance Halting Pill. Then, he pa.s.sed it to Liu Ruyue.
Leng Tianhe’s advice had significantly broadened Xiao Chen’s line of thought. He intended to spend his final days in the Sky Dome Realm at the Thunder Emperor Valley. He wanted to see if he could find his opportunity to advance his state into a will from the immortal will the Thunder Emperor left behind.
Liu Ruyue’s eyes misted up as she hugged Xiao Chen. She refused to let go of Xiao Chen for a long time. “Xiao Chen, is this goodbye forever?”
Xiao Chen felt a slight grief in his heart. He wiped away Liu Ruyue’s tears and smiled. “It is definitely not. Just wait for me to come back.”
After the two spent a long night together in affection, Xiao Chen gave Liu Ruyue a gentle kiss on the forehead when she fell fast asleep. Then, he put on his clothes and left silently.
At this moment, the sky was not bright yet. Xiao Chen gave the beautiful Qingyun Peak one last glance. He had too many memories of this mountain.
He did not know when he could come back again after leaving this time. However, he had to go to the Kunlun Realm. No matter how much he could not bear to leave, he had to suppress that feeling deep in the bottom of his heart.
“It’s time to go. Since ancient times, the strong are destined to be lonely. From the very moment you decided to climb to the peak of cultivation, you were already destined to be lonely,” Ao Jiao said softly.
Back in the past, Ao Jiao had seen a similar scene during the rise of the Thunder Emperor. She felt a deep sense of regret as well.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and stopped reminiscing about this mountain, steeling himself to leave.
When Xiao Chen flew above Saber City, he discovered a familiar girl standing above the city. When he looked more closely, he found that it was the cross-dressed Feng Feixue. She currently had a faint smile on her face as she flew towards him.
“Xiu!”
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed, and he flew over instantly to stand across from her.
Feng Feixue took out a spatial ring and handed it to Xiao Chen. “The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron that you left with me is in there. Also, all the materials that the Feng Clan has grasped on refining Secret Treasures have been placed in there. Finally, there are a hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones. I hope they will be of help to you.”
A hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones was a hefty sum. Currently, Xiao Chen only had a total of eighty thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
He urgently needed Superior Grade Spirit Stones. They would be very handy for cultivation or for purchasing things in the Kunlun Realm.
“Many thanks!”
Feng Feixue smiled gently and suddenly kissed Xiao Chen on the lips. She said, “This kiss is my thanks to you. Now, I have complete control of the Feng Clan. I will help you to take care of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and the Xiao Clan.”
Xiao Chen touched his fingers to his lips and could not help smiling. He said, “I just found out today how valuable my kiss is. Do you want to give me a few more kisses?”
Feng Feixue blushed red as she burst out in laughter. “I don’t dare to be that brazen. That girl of yours will kill me. Let’s go. Stop dawdling.”
By sunset, Xiao Chen reached Thunder Emperor Valley. When the many old men seated above the valley saw Xiao Chen, they took fright.
Several of these people were part of the group that Xiao Chen knocked down the last time. Without saying anything, they immediately scattered and fled.
“These fellows are really gutless. They behave like you will eat them up. With such courage, how can they gain any opportunity at Thunder Emperor Valley?” Ao Jiao said indifferently.
Xiao Chen found a good spot and sat down cross-legged. He said calmly, “It’s good that they left. It will be quieter.”
Thunder rumbled in Xiao Chen’s ears. As the will of thunder swam in the clouds, it exuded a horrifying pressure. Even after several thousand years, it showed no signs of dissipating, as if it would exist forever.
Suddenly, a thought came to Xiao Chen. He asked, “Ao Jiao, do you think I will be able to immediately comprehend the will of thunder if I directly swallow this will up?”
Ao Jiao snorted coldly. “That is easy to say. Since this is the immortal will of thunder, how can others subdue it? You can only do so if you are stronger than the Thunder Emperor of that time.”
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything. He closed his eyes and started sensing the will of thunder quietly.
The half-step Martial Monarchs that Xiao Chen chased away had not gone far. They all hovered in a place one kilometer away from the Thunder Emperor Valley, smiling coldly as they watched Xiao Chen.
“This fellow is really reckless. The Thunder Emperor Valley has never allowed a Martial Monarch and above to stay there before.”
“We will just wait for a while and see how he gets smitten by lightning!”
“That is the immortal divine lightning. Even a peak Martial Monarch would not be able to endure it. When he is dead, we will split the treasures on him equally.”
Although Xiao Chen did not open his eyes, the Spiritual Sense that he extended managed to pick up all the words and expressions of this group of people.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly to himself and ignored them. He was the successor of the Thunder Emperor and had the Lunar Shadow Saber as proof of that. Why would the immortal divine lightning strike him? These people would end up being disappointed.
