Chapter 1498: I Waited a Year for You

Ying Zongtian noticed that Xiao Chen’s expression turned complicated. It seemed there was some hidden trouble that was hard to mention. He asked, “Is something wrong with that place?”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, “There is nothing wrong with it. It’s just that there are too many people watching the place. I originally intended to wait until I was stronger before going there.”

“Where is it?” Mo Chen could not help asking out of curiosity.

“The Azure Dragon Palace!”

Mo Chen did not react to the mention of the Azure Dragon Palace. However, Ying Zongtian’s expression changed markedly. “This has to be considered at length. We cannot go there in haste. Once we make our way there, we will draw a lot of trouble.”

Xiao Chen entered deep thought and paced. After a while, he said, “No matter how much time we take to think about this, there are actually only two conclusions: to go or not to go.

“The Azure Dragon Palace is a place that I have to go to, according to my original plans. Now that Mo Chen said that, it merely affirms that I definitely have to go there.”

Although Ying Zongtian had some objections, it was not his place to say too much. “This is your matter. As long as you’ve considered it carefully, it’s fine. If you need my help, just ask for it.”

Xiao Chen said while in deep thought, “Actually, I have been to this Azure Dragon Palace once. As long as I can enter it, there is no need to worry about anything.”

This exceeded Ying Zongtian’s expectations. Surprisingly, Xiao Chen had already gone there before.

“However, at that time, I was rather weak. I only got a quick look at it and could not examine it carefully. Furthermore, I could not enter the second floor. There were so many mysteries that I have yet to unravel.”

Xiao Chen said honestly, “The Origin Flame of the Heavenly Flame is sealed in the first floor, using the blood of Deity Race Sovereign Martial Emperors.”

Ying Zongtian now understood and entered deep thought as well. “No wonder. At that time, you were rather weak, so naturally, you did not attract the attention of the others. However, now, if you were to make a move on it, you will immediately attract the Deity Dao Union’s attention.” action

Xiao Chen looked into the distance and said softly, “That is not my greatest concern. What I’m worried about is obtaining the acknowledgment of the Azure Dragon Palace. If I fail, then the situation will be difficult to deal with.”

Although Xiao Chen possessed the Azure Dragon Martial Spirit and was the Azure Emperor’s descendant, the Azure Dragon Palace was not his.

In fact, the Azure Dragon Palace was not the Azure Emperor Xiao Teng’s. It was the inherited holy palace of the Azure Dragon Race. Its origins were even greater than the Martial God Palace’s. Before the Azure Dragon Palace, Xiao Chen was merely a candidate.

Xiao Chen’s current strength was sufficient for him to face Primes and enter safely.

However, if he entered and failed to obtain the inheritance, the chance would be lost, never to come again.

Suddenly, Mo Chen said, “Big Brother Xiao, worrying about gains and losses like this is not your usual style. Actually, you’ve wanted to go there for a long time already, right?”

Worrying about gains and losses…

That was right. No matter how much Xiao Chen spoke about this, what he was doing was indeed worrying about gains and losses. Mo Chen saw this very clearly. He had long wished to go there, but he kept telling himself to wait until he was stronger.

Hence, Xiao Chen let this drag on. Even until now, he remained uncertain about it.

“Big Brother Xiao, just go. I believe in you. In this world, no matter how much preparation one makes, there will always be gaps. Just go with your heart and bravely give it your all at once,” Mo Chen said somewhat nervously after drumming up her courage. She feared that Xiao Chen would get upset at what she said.

After all, her words implied that Xiao Chen was behaving somewhat cowardly. This was not exactly a good thing.

Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen would laugh, not having any intention of getting angry with Mo Chen? He said softly, “Indeed, you still understand me very well, as you have in the past. Go back first. I’ll discuss this with Big Brother Ying.”

Mo Chen smiled and said, “Hehe! Big Brother Xiao is too generous with your praise. I’ll take my leave first, then.”

After Mo Chen went far away, Ying Zongtian asked, “What do you think? Have you made your decision?”

Xiao Chen nodded. “Big Brother, if I immediately go to the Azure Dragon Palace now, would you find it too crazy?”

Ying Zongtian smiled and replied, “Crazy? Indeed. Such things should be done after the best preparations are made. One should think about every possibility and make sure one is prepared for everything.

“However, I feel that the lass has a point. Life is unpredictable, changing frequently. No matter how well prepared you are, there will always be gaps. One might as well do as one wants, putting in one’s best just this once.”

When Xiao Chen heard that, he laughed loudly, “Great! Will Big Brother accompany me in going crazy this once?”

“With great pleasure!”

With Mo Chen’s reminder, Xiao Chen immediately came to a decision on something that he had been debating for many years.

This appeared rash, but in reality, it was not rash at all. This was passion and hot-bloodedness. Even being in a high position, one could still burn bridges and do something crazy in a hot-blooded manner.

Outside Heavenly Star Island, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, who had been waiting for very long, suddenly opened his eyes and said, “Xiao Chen is starting to make his move!”

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God revealed an excited expression and said, “This fellow finally took action. I thought that he would not go. Qitian, what should we do now?”

At the same time, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God felt doubtful. Why was the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign so certain that Xiao Chen already left?

As though he could make out the Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s doubts, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said indifferently, “Back then, during the third palm strike, I left a faint mental energy mark in his body. Given his strength, he would not notice it.”

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God smiled and said, “Great. You are truly deserving of being the Deity Sovereign. Your preparations are so thorough.”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s expression turned grave as he said, “Right now, the crucial point is that we can let him open the palace doors, but we absolutely cannot let him enter.”

“That is going to be very difficult. The Spirit Fox King and Ying Zongtian will definitely be assisting him. It would be difficult to make a move.” The Heaven Punishing Corpse God frowned.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled coldly and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already made preparations long ago. At that time, I will invite out the Deity Race Ancestor to directly kill him the instant he opens the palace doors.”

The Deity Race Ancestor! When the Heaven Punishing Corpse God heard this, he was startled. Was the Deity Race Ancestor that ancient existence that surpassed Prime?

How ruthless! The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign truly placed all his bets on this.

“Let’s go,” the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said indifferently, then quickly left with the Heaven Punishing Corpse God.

At the same time, at the Yellow Springs Road, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch received the news and prepared to rush to the Savage Battlefield with the K?itigarbha Bodhisattva.

---

In the Heavenly Starry Ocean, Yi Ling hurried into the secret room where the Treasure Master was.

“Father, I received news that Xiao Chen and Ying Zongtian appeared together at the Martial God Palace’s transportation formation in the Central Province and are currently heading to the Savage Battlefield,” Yi Ling reported quickly, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.

This was something that the Treasure Master instructed long ago: as long as Xiao Chen appeared at the Martial God Palace, the Treasure Master was to be informed immediately.

The Treasure Master nodded indifferently and said, “I got it. You may withdraw.”

“Alright.”

Yi Ling took his leave, feeling somewhat confused. He did not know why his father did not show any excitement whatsoever over this matter.

However, this was the opportunity that Yi Ling had long been awaiting.

After Yi Ling left, the Treasure Master grasped the Puppet Pearl with a calm expression. No one would be able to figure out what he was thinking.

No one would figure out what the Treasure Master’s plan was and what kind of storm he would kick up.

As everyone carried out their schemes, Xiao Chen and Ying Zongtian waited for the Spirit Fox King, the master of the Fiend Domain, to get to the Savage Battlefield.

“Supreme Sky Prime, why are you looking for me so urgently?” the Spirit Fox King asked suspiciously, unaware of Xiao Chen’s decision.

Ying Zongtian smiled and said, “I’m not the one looking for you. It is Xiao Chen who needs help. He wants to enter the Azure Dragon Palace and is asking us to serve as protectors.”

The Spirit Fox King’s expression changed. “He’s decided?”

Xiao Chen nodded. “I hope that Big Brothers will help me this last time. I believe my movements have already been exposed. The Deity Dao Union should be rushing over very soon.”

The Spirit Fox King said with a grave expression, “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”

“As long as I can enter the Azure Dragon Palace, everything will be fine. No matter how powerful the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign is, he will not be able to do anything to me then.” Xiao Chen was confident that as long as he could enter the Azure Dragon Palace, its Item Spirit could protect him.

“Very well. We should hurry, then, and quickly enter the Azure Dragon Palace before the Deity Dao Union arrives.”

The three went into the Savage Battlefield and rushed towards the Azure Dragon Palace.

For some reason, the Savage Battlefield was strangely peaceful. It was like the ferocious beasts there could feel a strange atmosphere.

The Savage Battlefield was huge. However, to Primes, this distance was nothing.

In a mere fifteen minutes, the three landed in the periphery of the Azure Dragon Palace and caught sight of the azure-colored palace surrounded by five peaks.

The five peaks each represented an attribute, forming the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation. Even Primes could not enter this seal.

One peak had its upper half chopped off. This had been done by the Thunder Emperor back then.

“Xiao Chen, you finally arrived. I’ve waited a year for you.”

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on that chopped-off peak. As he stood at the edge, he smiled faintly at Xiao Chen’s group.
