Chapter 1060: Huge Chasm (1/2)

“So, he is Xiao Chen, the one who killed the quasi-Emperors of my Divine Dragon Palace? I actually did not recognize him!”

A murderous intent flashed in Hai Tian’s eyes. Then, he and his bodyguard quickly followed after Chu Yang, charging over.

The other outstanding talents reacted as well. Unleas.h.i.+ng a strong killing Qi, they set out in pursuit without saying anything more.

Only the Young Treasure Master, Yi Ling, and the Great Perfection quasi-Emperor beside him did not hurriedly give chase. Instead, Yi Ling showed a contemplative expression.

Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and asked, “Young Treasure Master, are you not going to partake in the excitement?”

Yi Ling smiled and replied nonchalantly, “Miss Bingyun, by choosing this time to expose Mo Yun’s ident.i.ty, you probably figured that Chu Yang and his group cannot catch up.”

“The Young Treasure Master is as smart as you were many years before. In terms of intelligence, probably only the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s Young Palace Master, Leng Shaofan, can surpa.s.s you.” Yue Bingyun seemed to reveal a trace of a rather cute expression on her face, which could not be seen clearly.

Yi Ling laughed self-mockingly, “Haha! Unfortunately, even if the two of us were combined, we cannot match up to even ten percent of Miss Bingyun.

“Miss Bingyun, you seem to have something to ask this Azure Dragon King. What’s the matter? How about you tell me? Although I am not as dazzling as the Azure Dragon King, I would venture that I am still quite capable.”

Yue Bingyun smiled and replied, “Young Master Yi is being too humble. For you to become the Young Treasure Master out of the Treasure Master’s over one hundred grandchildren, how could you be just quite capable? You might even be able to compete with the Azure Dragon King.

“Furthermore, if this Azure Dragon King continues to temper his physical body, he will certainly have only ten years left to live. However, my matter has nothing to do with strength. Does Young Master Yi know anyone in the Heavenly Starry Ocean today who knows the Alchemy of the Immortal Epoch?”

Yi Ling was slightly stunned. He frowned and echoed, “The Immortal Epoch’s Alchemy? I hear that even the Penglai Sea does not have that preserved. No one knows it at all, and it is already long lost. Could it be that this Azure Dragon King knows it?”

“I am almost certain. Hence, Young Master Yi will not be able to help me with this.”

“Haha! Indeed, I am unable to help. However, I do have a request that I hope the Holy Daughter can help with.”

“What do you need?” Yue Bingyun revealed an expression of curiosity in her eyes.

Yi Ling replied unhurriedly, “I received news that a few major characters intend to work together and go to the heart of the ocean half a month from now.”

“If the Holy Daughter comes with us, I believe we have an eighty percent chance of returning unscathed.”

Yue Bingyun found the idea strange. She asked, “What major characters are so fearless, not afraid of death and even daring to barge into the heart of the ocean?”

“A few Martial Emperors whose lifespans are coming to an end, or are facing an impending bottleneck. Of course, they are preparing to risk their lives and go into the deep areas. We will just stay in the periphery.”

It turned out they were Martial Emperors facing impending death or preparing to break through. These people were desperate, so their planning such a venture was not hard to understand.

Yue Bingyun thought for a while before saying, “If we are only taking risks in the periphery, we should be able to leave easily. However, there are many entrances to the heart of the sea in the various sea domains. Which entrance are they planning to use?”

“The one in Despair City of the Southern Sea. Otherwise, I would not be able to get hold of this news.”

Yi Ling smiled faintly and added, “I will send Miss Bingyun back to Ten Thousand Treasure City first!”

Yi Ling stretched out his hand, and a resplendent light descended from the sky. Eight treasure horses with manes like flames pulled a magnificent, ancient, golden war chariot. It looked like a flying fireball lighting up the night sky.

“The Treasure Master really loves you. With this war chariot, even if I don’t go with you, your life will not be in danger,” Yue Bingyun said with a sigh. Clearly, she knew many of the secrets behind this golden war chariot before her.

Yi Ling did not comment on those words. “Despair City frequently has quasi-Emperors adventuring there. Furthermore, there would definitely be others who obtained this news. It would be safer with an additional person.”

The two rode the war chariot back to the Treasure Master’s residence. As for the others, despite giving chase for thousands of kilometers in the night sky, over the sea, they failed to find any clues and could only return feeling vexed.

On a desolate island in the vast sea, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, having already escaped from everyone.

He stood in a place that seemed to be halfway between illusion and reality, at the rim of a huge chasm.

Bridge foundations had already formed at his two sides. The dragon heads carved on them were a dazzling sight.

With a thought, Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense sank to his dantian. Specks of Heavenly Laws became like liquid electricity, forming an extremely indistinct Azure Dragon Seal.

As he breathed, he absorbed the energy of the world.

This Heavenly Seal was the preliminary form of the heart of an emperor.

Because everyone possessed different physiques and cultivated different Cultivation Techniques, the Heavenly Seal varied a lot. Few Heavenly Seals were exactly the same as another.

A quasi-Emperor cultivated by condensing the Heavenly Seal and solidifying it with the Heavenly Laws to form the heart of an emperor and truly cross the chasm.

At that time, the dragon bridge at the huge chasm would reach the other side, and the Emperor’s Door would descend from the sky, appearing in reality.

This was easy to say, but the difficulty of it could not be clearly described within just two or three sentences.

Solidifying the liquified Heavenly Laws would take a tremendous amount of energy.

In any case, Xiao Chen had the impression that the Holy Spirit Vein in his Universe Ring would barely be enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

[TL Note: Fill the gap between his teeth is the Chinese equivalent of a drop in the ocean.]

He would need at least one hundred Holy Spirit Veins before he could solidify all ten thousand Heavenly Laws.

Since the Ancient Era ended, Holy Spirit Veins had become scarce. No one would use them to cultivate in such a luxurious manner. Most people would use time to slowly gather the energy needed.

Furthermore, solidifying all the Heavenly Laws was just to become a Small Perfection quasi-Emperor. One still needed to gather the resulting Heavenly Laws and form the Heavenly Seal before one could become a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor.

After Great Perfection, one needed to cultivate a soul for the Heavenly Seal to become a peak Consummate quasi-Emperor.
