Chapter 1004: After Prime, There Might Be Martial God (1/2)

Xia Houzun said indifferently, “Yes, if Xiao Chen failed in being conferred King, naturally, the Thunder Sovereign would not appear. Never mind. Don’t brood over this. As for the White Tiger King t.i.tle, the Holy Master will still give it to you.”

“However, what I want is not just a t.i.tle!” Xia Houjue said through clenched teeth.

Xia Houzun muttered indecisively with a somewhat sad expression, “Recover from your injuries first. The three Holy Masters will personally see you. Remember the humiliation from today. For what you want, you have to put in the corresponding level of effort.”

Xia Houjue was startled, showing it on his face. The three Holy Masters were going to see him personally.

The Holy Master was a supreme existence in the Holy Land. Even as a Holy Scion, he rarely had a chance to see him.

Now, the three Holy Masters were going to meet him together. Could there still be a chance to turn the situation around?

“Don’t overthink. The matter of Xiao Chen being conferred King is already set in stone. Nothing can change it. The only one that can change is yourself. This is a chance for you; grasp it properly,” Xia Houzun said before leaving.

In the Tianwu Plaza, Ao Jiao was no longer controlling Xiao Chen’s body. She had returned to the Immortal Spirit Ring and stayed there. Only when he regained control over his own body did he understand how severely injured he was.

That final attack of Di Wuque had really been desperate and ruthless. Even with Xiao Chen’s Rank 4 Sage Body, he had suffered severe injuries and was on the verge of death, completely weakened.

If not for Ao Jiao suddenly awakening, Xiao Chen’s path to being conferred King would have ended there.

Xiao Chen stretched his arms and legs. He felt that without at least half a month to recuperate, his body would not to recover back to peak state.

“This is your conferred land and your King medallion.”

The black-clad old man stepped forward and handed Xiao Chen a map as well as a medallion. Then, he quickly disappeared, afraid that Xiao Chen would make things difficult for him.

Xiao Chen smiled without minding it. He was not in a rush to see where his conferred land was. Then, he boarded the Supreme Sky Sect’s wars.h.i.+p together with Shui Lingling.

“I will spend some time recuperating first. Senior Sister, please help me to reject any visits for now. Prevent them from interrupting me,” Xiao Chen said soon after he boarded.

Shui Lingling nodded and called a person over to bring Xiao Chen to the recuperation room of the wars.h.i.+p.

After taking half a day, Xiao Chen managed to suppress all his injuries without any impediment to his mobility. Once his complexion had recovered, he took out the map of where his conferred land was.

When he saw the location depicted in the map, he could not help but frown slightly.

What’s wrong? Is the conferred land too small? Or are there no resources? What is it? Ao Jiao asked from the Immortal Spirit Ring.

“No, take a look for yourself.”

Ao Jiao flew out from the Immortal Spirit Ring and looked at the map.

The map was made of precious divine materials. The formation carved on it showed the topography of the place. With a thought, the viewer could move the map and change the orientation; it was even more convenient than the electronic maps of Xiao Chen’s previous life.

Ao Jiao’s gaze stopped at the red dot indicating the conferred land. Smiling, she said, “It looks like the three Holy Masters still played some tricks and tossed you far away.”

The place that the map showed was actually not in the Tianwu Domain. Instead, it was past the Primal Chaos Domain and even the Chaotic Demonic Sea. It was on one of the islands of the Heavenly Starry Ocean called Heavenly Star Island.

The island was quite vast, no smaller than an entire province of the Tianwu Domain. There were also a few other auxiliary islands, which expanded the boundaries of the territory.

There was no lack of Spirit Veins on the island. Some could even generate Spirit Stones. This was not too shabby.

Such a large faction like the Martial G.o.d Palace had their own territories in the Starry Heavens. They naturally had territories in the Heavenly Starry Ocean as well.

However, Xiao Chen had not expected the three Holy Masters to toss him so far away.

Nevertheless, this was fine as well. This meant that Xiao Chen would not have to meet with them and could develop in peace. With the resources he gained from the King conferral ceremony, he could even develop desolate land. He could use this place as the foundation for the Dragon’s Gate.

Coincidentally, according to Long Fei’s news, there was a throne in the Heavenly Starry Ocean as well. Furthermore, as the saying went, dragons hid in the depths. This was the place with the most Secret Treasures containing dragon souls.

“That’s odd. This piece of land is a treasure. Even if it is far from the Tianwu Domain, the three Holy Masters will not let you have it for nothing,” Ao Jiao said in confusion after staring at the map for a long time.

Xiao Chen took back the map and sank into deep thought. He agreed with her logic. After he caused the Three Holy Lands such a great embarra.s.sment, how could they let him benefit like that?

Since the King t.i.tle was already settled, the Thunder Sovereign would not readily come out of closed-door cultivation. He would surely not delve too deeply into a small matter like Xiao Chen’s conferred land.

This gave the three Holy Masters a chance to play some tricks. Perhaps I should go and ask First Senior Sister. Maybe she has some information about it.

“Xiao Chen, may I come in?”

Just as Xiao Chen thought about Shui Lingling, her knocking came from outside the door. He smiled involuntarily. Then, he got Ao Jiao to open the door.

This was Shui Lingling’s first time seeing Ao Jiao, so she could not help but be shocked. She looked at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression. Clearly, she had not expected him to be hiding a girl by his side.

Furthermore, this girl was beautiful with a fiery figure. One man and one woman alone together in a room, this situation was hard for Shui Lingling not to misunderstand.

Only after Xiao Chen explained did Shui Lingling understand what was going on. Then, he asked her about his doubts.

Shui Lingling took the map and perused this. After thinking a while, she said, “This place is in the west of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, its most chaotic region. It does not have an overlord unlike the other regions, which have the Northern Sea Alliance or the Cyclic Astral Palace.

“However, if that was it, then it should not be a big problem. I feel that there is still some other hidden danger. As for the specifics, you will have to go there to find out.”
