Chapter: 1330: Dragon Soul Secret Treasures; a Trace of Hope
Xiao Chen caught the spatial ring distractedly. He could sense that this Myriad-Law Fiend Master was indeed an expert. However, why did it feel like he was somewhat eccentric?
Great chaos had already descended, and a great calamity approached. However, this old man did not seem concerned or anxious at all.
“Senior, may I ask if you know where the Thunder Sovereign is?”
Xiao Chen vaguely felt that this somewhat eccentric Myriad-Law Fiend Master actually possessed great means and was exceedingly outstanding.
At Xiao Chen’s mention of the Thunder Sovereign, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, who was staring at the Taiji diagram, showed a rare fluctuation in his expression.
A sorrowful look appeared on the Myriad-Law Fiend Master’s face as he sighed, “Why are you asking this? Even if you knew, could you go look for him? Even I do not dare to go to that place. Neither does Ying Zongtian nor the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. You, all the more, would not be able to go there.”
“Why?” These words startled Xiao Chen greatly. Unexpectedly, this old man really knew the Thunder Sovereign’s location.
“Because since ancient times, aside from the Azure Emperor ten thousand years ago, no one has ever come back alive. They are all lost, and their life status unknown.” The Myriad-Law Fiend Master added indifferently, “Hence, don’t think about this question. When you have sufficient strength, you will naturally know where that Thunder Sovereign old man went to.”
“Many thanks, Senior!”
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen gave this old senior a deep look. Then, he performed a cupped-fist salute and left without saying anything more.
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master did not bother with Xiao Chen. His eyes remained fixed on that Taiji diagram as he muttered, “Taiji, Yin and Yang merged in one diagram? How did that little fellow do it? What a headache! If I had known, I would have kept that little fellow here and gotten him to explain it to me properly.”
If Xiao Chen heard this, he would definitely be speechless for some time.

“He’s coming out! He’s coming out!”
Seeing Xiao Chen emerge, Di Feng and the other two revealed joy on their faces. The other two Vice Island Masters rushed forward and asked, “Azure Dragon King, what did the old ancestor say to you? Please tell us.”
“Right, right, right, what did the old ancestor say?”
Xiao Chen found their behavior somewhat strange. After he met the old ancestor, these two Vice Island Masters became ridiculously friendly.
Di Feng smiled helplessly and said, “Second Brother, Third Brother, don’t scare the guest. Xiao Chen, please do not mind. The old ancestor is like a god—no, even higher than that—in the Myriad Fiend Island.”
It’s probably much more than that. These two clearly, sincerely venerate that Myriad-Law Fiend Master. After organizing his thoughts, Xiao Chen gave a rough account of what happened when he met the Myriad-Law Fiend Master.
After Xiao Chen finished, these two Vice Island Masters were in shock; they now looked at him with expressions of worship.
“Incredible. Azure Dragon King, the old ancestor actually spoke so long with you and even gave you a gift.”
“Truly incredible. It looks like Big Brother’s decision was right. Back then, when the old ancestor met me, he barely spoke a sentence before impatiently chasing me away.”
After Xiao Chen heard this, his heart finally felt at peace. It turned out that this Myriad-Law Fiend Master was like this with everyone and not just him.
Di Feng smiled and said, “Now that the two of you have changed your opinions, it’s not too late to make arrangements. Quickly, go and deal with the external matters. Take the things that the Deity Race gave you and return all of them.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Since the old ancestor already said so, how can we dare to disobey?”
“We will also pass down the old ancestor’s words. Those elders will not dare to object.”
The two left to fulfill their orders. Before going, they gave Xiao Chen a look of envy.
After the two were gone, Di Feng said, “Xiao Chen, while the old ancestor appears like he does not care about anything, actually, he knows everything. If a person already knows everything and has nothing more to anticipate, how can he present an excited front? So, please, do not mind it.”
Xiao Chen nodded and replied, “I do not mind. Having obtained the old ancestor’s promise, I am already satisfied with this trip.”
“The old ancestor gave you dragon soul Secret Treasures. It looks like he values you highly. You do indeed present the opportunity that the old ancestor is seeking,” Di Feng said while patting Xiao Chen’s shoulder. “When you go back, take a look through these dragon soul Secret Treasures. They should give you a pleasant surprise.”
After remaining on Myriad Fiend Island for three days, Xiao Chen left, heading for the next Holy Land.
However, the Heavenly Starry Ocean was experiencing a great storm. The words “Deity Dao Union” were suddenly on everyone’s lips.
In this short time, the news about the Deity Dao Union had already spread to all the corners of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, setting it abuzz.
This was especially so after the Divine Dragon Palaces of the four seas declared their participation in the Deity Dao Union, giving it even greater prestige. Several ancient Noble Clans and many Rank 9 sects sought news and entertained thoughts of joining the Deity Dao Union as well.
Right now, the Kunlun Realm was in great chaos. A great calamity was approaching. All the peak experts were in danger.
The appearance of the Deity Dao Union was like a hurricane sweeping through the Heavenly Starry Ocean at a horrifying speed, becoming so well-renowned that everyone knew about it.
Furthermore, the news that the Deity Dao Union intended to defeat the Supreme Sky Sect and rule the Kunlun Continent also spread far and wide.
For a period, discussions of the Supreme Sky Sect’s eventual decline sprouted everywhere. Everyone could feel a storm brewing in this chaotic world.
However, just as everyone concluded that the Deity Dao Union would defeat the Supreme Sky Sect, two Vice Island Masters of the Myriad Fiend Island suddenly made an announcement, saying that they would aid the Supreme Sky Sect at the most crucial moment, lending the Azure Dragon King a hand.
When word of this announcement spread, it caused quite a stir, taking many people by surprise.
The Myriad Fiend Island was a peak Holy Land, and yet it actually chose a side so soon. Then, news of Xiao Chen defeating and subduing ten Fiend Race elders by himself spread out as well. This allowed everyone to understand what was going on.
The two items together immediately drowned out the furor over the Divine Dragon Palaces joining the Deity Dao Union.
Everyone knew that the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, who had been silent for two years, had made another move.
Actually, this was predictable. Xiao Chen’s Dragon’s Gate shared the fate of the Supreme Sky Sect. Now that the Supreme Sky Sect faced impending doom, the white-robed Xiao Chen would not sit by idly.
However, no one expected that when Xiao Chen reappeared after a two-year absence, he would immediately subdue the Myriad Fiend Island—an Immortal Holy Land.
With the Myriad Fiend Island’s strength and accumulations, even if the Divine Dragon Palaces of the four seas worked together, they would not amount to even half of the Myriad Fiend Island’s strength. Furthermore, the Myriad Fiend Island had a Prime overseeing it. This development was a relatively big blow to the Deity Dao Union.
The moment this news circulated, several of the Rank 9 sects that the Deity Dao Union had reached out to started having second thoughts, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
The Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi, was dazed for a long time after she received the news. The moment Xiao Chen made a move, he managed to pull over the Myriad Fiend Island to the Supreme Sky Sect’s side, or more accurately, to the Dragon’s Gate’s Xiao Chen’s side. She had not anticipated this development at all.
The Myriad Fiend Island agreed to help the Supreme Sky Sect because of Xiao Chen. Without Xiao Chen, it would be hard to say whom the Myriad Fiend Island would support.
Feng Wuji and Xia Houjue, who were traveling with Tian Youxi, had not expected such a development, either.
The joy they had when the four Divine Dragon Palaces joined the Deity Dao Union immediately turned stale, causing them to frown.
“You two, do you have any opinions?” Tian Youxi asked Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji.
Xia Houjue replied sullenly, “We have to quickly convince an Immortal Holy Land and not let Xiao Chen get them all, putting our Deity Dao Union at a disadvantage.”
“I know this. However, the Immortal Holy Lands are not easy to convince. Furthermore, the Divine Son is in closed-door cultivation and cannot come out. Just based on the benefits that we can promise, it would be very difficult for us to compete with Xiao Chen,” Tian Youxi said sadly.
The Myriad Fiend Island sided with the Dragon’s Gate and returned all the gifts she sent them. This was a great blow to her, especially when she found out that Xiao Chen had not even offered them anything, relying only on his personal brilliance to convince the Myriad Fiend Island. This news depressed her even more.
“I know that those Immortal Holy Masters are all great heroes and greatly value a person’s brilliance. However, some factions might not be so. For example, the Northern Sea Alliance.”
This statement stunned Tian Youxi. She shook her head and said, “Young Master Xia, you are wrong there. Everyone knows that the Northern Sea Alliance is on close personal terms with Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen probably only needs to send a letter to convince them.”
Xia Houjue smiled and countered, “The Divine Daughter is only aware of one side of it and not the other. The Northern Sea Alliance is a complicated group. My father is on good personal terms with one of the Vice Alliance Chiefs. If the Divine Daughter gives me a certain amount of authority, I will be able to deal with this.”
When Tian Youxi heard this, she felt excited. That’s right. The Northern Sea Alliance is an alliance made up of many factions and is not very stable.
“Alright. I’ll give you the authority you need to handle this.”
The silent Feng Wuji spoke up at this moment. “We also need to know which Holy Land Xiao Chen will go to next.”
Tian Youxi answered quickly, “Based on the information from the Treasure Master, Xiao Chen is already in the sea region managed by the Five Poison Sect. He will soon arrive at the Five Poison Sect’s headquarters.”
Five Poison Sect?
Feng Wuji’s expression changed. “This Xiao Chen is really courageous, daring to go even to the Five Poison Sect. I remember that the Five Poison Sect gave him problems at the Dragon’s Gate’s reestablishment ceremony. The Five Poison Sect’s Holy Son also has some grudges with him. Is he not afraid of not being able to return?”
Tian Youxi’s eyes lit up as a murderous intent flared in her eyes. She said, “I’ve already made arrangements for this. As long as he dares to go to the Five Poison Sect, even if he does not die, he will lose a layer of skin!”
Feng Wuji and Xia Houjue exchanged looks. The two of them felt the murderous intent in Tian Youxi’s eyes. This was really rare.
It looked like the Divine Daughter intended to kill Xiao Chen and directly make a move on him.
“How about this? When the personal disciples of the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and Heaven Punishing Corpse God arrive, we will think of a way to make a trip to the Lunar Palace. That is the true heart of the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean!”
Tian Youxi was not willing to speak much about her arrangements at the Five Poison Sect. After those words, she ended the conversation.
As this conversation was taking place, an even greater storm was brewing in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, one that appeared peaceful on the surface but had turbulent undercurrents. The conflict between the Dragon’s Gate’s Xiao Chen and the Deity Dao Union had already begun.
This overwhelming great battle was unavoidable.
The victor would live, and the loser would die!
The Deity Dao Union pressed on urgently. Xiao Chen’s situation did not seem optimistic. Even if he could miraculously convince all the Holy Lands of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, doing so would not even count as half a point of victory against the Deity Dao Alliance.
The Deity Dao Union in the distant Kunlun Continent already held the initiative, having built up great momentum.
Only by fighting—fighting the heavens and facing difficulty—could one obtain that trace of hope.
This was also why Xiao Chen went to the Five Poison Sect.
