Chapter 1532 (Raw 1514): Recklessly Striving

To Ying Qiong’s surprise, Xiao Chen did not change his expression much, appearing rather calm.

“You...are fine, right? Ying Qiong asked carefully. After all, she was partly responsible as well.

Right now, Ying Qiong was the Ying Clan’s Clan Head. The Great Qin Nation of the Sky Dome Realm belonged to the Ying Clan. She definitely held some responsibility for not being able to protect Xiao Chen’s family properly.

Xiao Chen smiled, not wanting to put any pressure on her, and said, “It’s fine. Thank you for protecting my family for so long. You do not have to feel guilty over this.”

“Is it really fine?” Ying Qiong asked with some disbelief.

Xiao Chen nodded. “It really is fine. Chu Chaoyun promised not to touch my family. Furthermore, I have something that he wants. Perhaps, that has something to do with him taking my family.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Ying Qiong felt relieved of a heavy burden. After heaving a sigh of relief, she said, “That’s good, then. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Xiao Chen felt embarrassed and said, “Don’t overthink. The Ying Clan is moving now, right? Do you have time?”

Ying Qiong answered honestly, “Yes, they already moved to the back. Whenever the Demonic Calamity begins, the clans and factions of the Profound Domain move over, so we are already very experienced at this.”

“Good. Then, please help me with something.”

“What do you need? If I can help, I’ll definitely do my best.”

Xiao Chen turned around and pointed at Heavenly Star Island. “This island was filled with the cultivators of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Many have never come to the Kunlun Continent before. There will be a lot of problems with moving them. At that time, will you help me make arrangements for them?”

Ying Qiong smiled and said, “It’s just a small matter. Leave it to me.”

“In that case, I’ll thank you first. Come with me, and I’ll make introductions.”

“Sure.”

So, the two returned to the city gates. Everyone tried to figure out what was going on from Xiao Chen’s face. However, they could not.

This was especially so for Mo Chen. Her eyes occasionally shifted to Ying Qiong, clearly placing her attention on this woman.

“Mo Chen.”

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen called out to Mo Chen, startling her from a somewhat absent-minded state.

Instantly, Xiao Chen showed an expression of worry. “Originally, I was planning to get you and Ying Qiong to help make arrangements for everyone. It looks like I failed to consider some things. You are too fatigued from maintaining the formation. Go and rest first.”

Mo Chen blushed slightly in embarrassment. She shook her head and said, “Don’t worry. I don’t need to rest.”

“You really don’t?”

“I really don’t!”

Xiao Chen found this somewhat strange, but he was not in a good position to ask about it. Then, he looked at the three Primes and said, “Seniors, I need to rush back to the Sky Dome Realm to do something and won’t be able to accompany everyone to the Kunlun Palace.”

“The Sky Dome Realm...there seems to be an agreement between the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World for Martial Emperors not to be allowed in there,” the Myriad-Law Fiend Master said with a frown.

The Bright Moon Empress countered, “Right now, the Demonic World and the Kunlun Realm are focused on the Kunlun Realm. There should not be anyone paying any attention to these rules. Xiao Chen, what are you going to do in the Sky Dome Realm? Is it a big problem?”

“Many thanks for Senior’s concern. It is just a trifling matter. Once I’ve dealt with it, I’ll return immediately.”

“Do be very careful.”

After saying his goodbyes to everyone, Xiao Chen tore open space and searched around for the Sky Dome Realm.

Awhile later, he sensed the Sky Dome Realm, the place that was once an Immortal’s residence. Then, he went in with a flash.

During the Immortal Epoch, the three thousand great realms were all residences of Immortal Lords. They only slowly developed into smaller realms subordinate to the Kunlun Realm after the arrival of the Martial Epoch.

As for the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen had not felt anything for it before. However, after coming to know that he was the Sky Dome Immortal Lord’s reincarnation, being emotionally affected was inevitable.

It was hard for Xiao Chen to imagine that this used to be his residence a very long time ago.

No wonder his Luck in the Sky Dome Realm had always been very heaven-defying. Even after many trials and tribulations, he did not die.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of the Sky Dome Realm had been taking care of him.

In the clouds after just entering the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen frowned and said, “Strange, why do I feel that the Sky Dome Realm is rejecting me a bit?”

The previous times Xiao Chen entered the Sky Dome Realm, he did not feel anything like this; there had been no negative feelings at all, just a very ordinary feeling.

However, this time, the moment Xiao Chen entered, he sensed some rejection. Although it was not intense, it was definitely there.

Could it be that Chu Chaoyun already formed the complete Sky Dome Heart and refined it?

Never mind, there’s no need to think about this now. He has that ambition. It was just a matter of time.

Xiao Chen was currently rather calm; he had not lied to Ying Qiong.

Firstly, Xiao Chen possessed the Heavenly Flame and had not done anything to it; this was the treasure that Chu Chaoyun wanted. Secondly, Chu Chaoyun once promised not to touch his family.

Xiao Chen opened his Heavenly Eye and looked around. His vision expanded to millions of kilometers in the direction of Xiao Clan City.

In the next moment, he casually tore space open and instantly appeared in the Xiao Clan’s residence.

“Second Brother, you really came!”

After a momentary distraction, Xiao Chen heard the voice of his first brother, Xiao Jian. Then, he immediately looked around.

Xiao Chen discovered himself in the Xiao Clan’s drill grounds. The Xiao Clan was there. When his clan members saw him, they were all excited, displaying their joy very clearly.

They all rushed over and greeted Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Jian rebuked them, getting them to back off.

The familiar scene allowed Xiao Chen to relax somewhat. “First Brother, there is no need to be so strict.”

Xiao Jian smiled and said, “Let’s go somewhere else and have a quick word.”

Xiao Chen nodded. After they went far away, Xiao Jian said, “The Great Qin Nation fell overnight. The entire Sky Dome Realm is now unified under the Tianwu Dynasty’s banner, undergoing a shift in dynasty with Chu Chaoyun as emperor.

“The Xiao Clan is still fine. Mostly, nothing happened to us. However, we are surrounded. Chu Chaoyun appears to be rather amiable. I have no idea what he is up to.”

Xiao Jian briefed Xiao Chen on all the recent events in one breath.

Matters were more or less as Xiao Chen expected. Chu Chaoyun indeed did not make things difficult for the Xiao Clan. Moreover, Xiao Jian was rather wise and did not rashlessly order the Xiao Clan disciples to leave the clan premises. Now, even though the outside was rather chaotic, the Xiao Clan was still peaceful.

“Where’s Father?” Xiao Chen asked.

Xiao Jian replied, “Father is fine. He is currently drinking tea with Chu Chaoyun in the great hall. Chu Chaoyun said that you would arrive before sunset. Unexpectedly, you really did come.”

It looked like that fellow had eyes in the Kunlun Realm. His information network was truly impressive.

“I’ll go meet with him.”

The two headed for the great hall. When they approached, they heard Chu Chaoyun’s voice.

“This is a superior grade Cloud Tea; its full name is the Misty Cloud Tea. Uncle, please sample it. In the future, when you brew it at home, remember that the first brew requires at least ten breaths of time. Otherwise, you will not be able to draw out the faintly discernible, misty Immortal Qi.”

Chu Chaoyun seemed to understand tea very well. He explained it in detail, quoting classics, and was very thorough.

“Great tea!” Xiao Chen said as he stepped across the threshold with Xiao Jian.

Chu Chaoyun set down the teacup and looked at Xiao Chen. Then, he smiled faintly and said, “You still have not drunk it. How do you know that it is a great tea?”

“You are not me. How do you know that I do not know?” Xiao Chen argued skillfully. Then, he walked over, picked up a teacup, and gently took a sip.

He savored the sweetness on his tongue and the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth. It was like misty Immortal Qi, lingering without scattering.

Xiao Chen put down the teacup and looked straight at Chu Chaoyun. “It is indeed a great tea. Chu Chaoyun, you are truly willing to go to great expense.”

Chu Chaoyun raised his eyebrows and retorted with a smile, “Only when one is willing to spend can one have it, right?”

“Chen`er, why are you back?”

Xiao Chen gave a brief explanation and assured his father, “I just returned to take a look. Lord Father, I have to discuss something with Brother Chu first. We will be back later.”

Xiao Xiong was no fool. While the two looked like they were chatting casually, in reality, they were contesting against each other, producing a faintly tense atmosphere.

Xiao Xiong nodded and did not say anything.

“Let’s go out and have a chat,” Xiao Chen said as he looked at Chu Chaoyun.

“I was thinking the same.”

Right after Chu Chaoyun said that, the two left the Xiao Clan’s great hall as if they teleported. Then, they appeared at the summit of Seven Horn Mountain, facing each other.

Clouds surrounded the summit; wind tugged at their hair and clothes.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and tossed the Heavenly Flame over to Chu Chaoyun. “This is the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame, the big present that you wanted.”

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and said, “This present is really quite big. However, I don’t need it.”

“Whoosh!”

Chu Chaoyun waved his hand, stirring some wind to blow back the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame.

Xiao Chen caught the crystal that sealed the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame. Feeling this response was strange, he asked, “What exactly do you want?”
