Chapter 1401 (Raw 1392): The Difficult Jadeite Sovereign

Jadeite Relay Station?

Xiao Chen thought, Could this have something to do with the Jadeite Sovereign? That Jadeite Sovereign’s whereabouts were unknown. He could not find the Jadeite Sovereign anywhere in the Kunlun Realm.

Many Martial Emperors and experts who liked staying in seclusion would mostly choose to live their days out in a starry heaven relay station. Given the Jadeite Sovereign’s character, that was very possible.

When one did not intentionally seek out something, letting things take their natural course, one was more likely to succeed in finding it.

”How is the Jadeite Relay Station related to the Jadeite Sovereign?” Xiao Chen asked casually from the war chariot.

When the Phoenix’s Passion Palace disciple heard the question, he did not dare to be slow in replying. Although this black war chariot had a saber at the very front, looking somewhat strange, the rest of it seemed rather ordinary.

However, for some reason, when he stood beside this war chariot, he felt an intimidating pressure that deterred any display of impudence.

”Replying to Senior, this humble self is not sure. However, there is an expert who resides in the Jadeite Pavilion on this Jadeite Relay Station. As for whether it is the Jadeite Sovereign or not, I do not know.” The Phoenix’s Passion Palace disciple shared everything that he knew.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He was already very close to his destination. Should he personally go and check on this?

”The owner of the relay station stays at the Jadeite Pavilion in the middle of Jadeite Lake. However, he does not like to be disturbed. Not long ago, a few of the Demonic World’s Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors teamed up and went to seek trouble for him. However, he tossed them right out,” the Phoenix’s Passion Palace disciple said after some hesitation.

”Many thanks,” Xiao Chen replied politely from the war chariot and quickly went on his way.

While the Jadeite Relay Station looked very close, one would only truly understand when they arrived in the Starry Heavens. It just looked close, but it actually was still millions of kilometers away. The illusion of proximity was due to the resplendent light.

Occasionally, large King Grade warships, even Emperor Grade warships, passed Xiao Chen in a flash.

In comparison, the Cycle War Chariot, which was intentionally concealed, looked unremarkable.

Xiao Chen observed casually from the war chariot. He discovered that a particularly large warship was packed mostly with bladesmen. They likely intended to go to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor.

There were many young bladesmen raring to test themselves, looking high-spirited and vigorous.

It was rumored that the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian would choose the next-generation Saber Sovereign during this Saber Dao tea party and would personally instruct that person. The top hundred in the Saber School Ranking could even go to the famous Saber Washing Pool of the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor.

Next to this huge warship, Xiao Chen’s Cycle War Chariot looked extremely insignificant.

After half a day, the war chariot landed smoothly at the Jadeite Relay Station. Then, he asked about the location of Jadeite Lake, which was in the relay station. As for those bladesmen on those warships, they directly headed forward, moving to the transportation formation connected to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor.

This relay station was huge, the same size as Meteor Trail City. Although it was called a relay station, it was more accurate to call it a city, a city that was fixed in the Starry Heavens, an astral city.

Everywhere Xiao Chen passed had shops. The streets were crowded with cultivators, the weakest of which was at least a Martial Sage. When casually glancing around, he saw several Martial Emperors, even Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors.

These cultivators were all either drinking and chatting, buying or selling treasures, or discussing adventuring in forbidden lands in the depths of the Starry Heavens.

It was a grand, bustling scene, standing out in the eye. It truly deserved its fame as one of the ten great starry heaven relay stations.

Jadeite Lake was on the northwest side of the relay station. It was a jade-green lake that looked like a mirror. There were no ripples on it at all, completely silent.

The lake really seemed like a piece of jadeite inlaid into the ground; it looked very strange.

There was a pavilion in the center of the lake. That was the Jadeite Pavilion, the residence of the owner of this starry heaven relay station.

It seemed like everyone knew that this owner did not like to be disturbed. The lake was peaceful and quiet; there was no one else already.

The Cycle War Chariot stopped at the lakeshore, and Xiao Chen thought about how to meet this relay station owner.

”I’ll just be direct. It is likely that this is the Jadeite Sovereign!”

Jadeite Relay Station, Jadeite Lake, and Jadeite Pavilion. If it was just one, it could be explained as a coincidence. However, there were three. It was definitely not a coincidence. Only someone who specialized in the Jadeite Dao would be interested in building so many things related to jadeite.

However, something seemed off with this lake. It was like it was transformed by the other party’s Domain, or perhaps the Domain merged with the lake.

Might I ask if you are the Jadeite Sovereign, a Sovereign Martial Emperor of the Black Sea? Would you be willing to meet with me? Xiao Chen projected his voice into a line, sending it into the Jadeite Pavilion.

One second…two seconds…then three seconds passed. No one answered. No one bothered with Xiao Chen. It was like there was no one.

”Many thanks for the Jadeite Sovereign’s silent agreement. I will be coming in.”

Xiao Chen could not be bothered with the details. The wheels of the war chariot rolled onto the surface of the lake, heading for the Jadeite Pavilion.

”Interesting. It seems like bold people like you have been increasing recently.”

Laughter came from the pavilion in the center of the lake. Then, there was the sound of a book being closed. The Cycle War Chariot, which just entered the lake, quickly got covered with a layer of lake water.

Soon, the black war chariot’s surface turned jade-green.

Inside the chariot, the greenish water spread to Xiao Chen’s feet as well. Then, the water crystallized, preventing his feet from moving.

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly as he discovered that something was wrong. After the green water entered, his bones, muscles, flesh, and blood started to show signs of crystallizing.

”Glup! Glup!”

The magnificent war chariot seemed to turn into jadeite and slowly sank into the lake.

A wave surged up from the bottom of the lake and, in the next moment, turned into a graceful and elegant middle-aged man wearing jadeite satin closed with a jade-white waist sash.

This middle-aged man stepped forward and stretched out his hand. When he raised it, he pulled up the Cycle War Chariot, which had sunk to the bottom, from a distance.

With a casual pat, the war chariot shattered into countless jadeite pieces falling in all directions and flickering with a jade-green crystalline light.

Everything shattered, leaving only a crystal man hovering in the air unshattered. He looked completely crystalline, jade-green in color.

”So, you are not a Demon. In that case, I’ll send you away!”

The murderous intent in the middle-aged man’s eyes weakened significantly. He raised his hand and waved, wanting to toss the crystallized Xiao Chen out of the relay station.

”Crack!” Just at this moment, the crystal covering Xiao Chen’s exterior shattered, revealing himself with the black mask that covered his face.

The jadeite covering the shattered pieces also broke off at this moment. ”Boom!” All the shards gathered into a throne with seven Divine Weapons on the back.

”I nearly really turned into jadeite. It looks like I found the right person. Aside from the Jadeite Sovereign, no one else is so incredibly skilled in the Jadeite Dao,” Xiao Chen said calmly from the throne. His tone contained traces of joy.

The Jadeite Sovereign’s expression appeared somewhat grave. The lake water under him flowed, quickly moving him away from Xiao Chen.

The Jadeite Sovereign sensed a vast and boundless saber intent from Xiao Chen, a dangerous aura, so he needed to put some distance between them.

”There are plenty of experts emerging in this golden age. You must be the Shadowless Saber Sovereign that became famous in the recent few years,” the Jadeite Sovereign guessed.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, ”That should be so.”

”I don’t think I have anything you want. I am not a bladesman, either, so why are you looking for me?” the Jadeite Sovereign asked as he looked directly at Xiao Chen.

”Might I ask if you have a throne with the Destruction Dao in it. After one obtains it, one can comprehend the state of destruction without any guidance,” Xiao Chen asked with some anticipation.

When the Jadeite Sovereign heard this, he was stunned. Then, he laughed and said, ”What a coincidence! Something not worth mentioning at all actually resulted in people coming to visit me continuously.”

Xiao Chen frowned and asked, ”What do you mean?”

”Before you came, a few Demon Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors already came looking for me. Even before that, the Cyclic Astral Lord also asked about it.”

A light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. The Cyclic Astral Lord came as well. Did he know something?

Never mind, there is no need to think about this for now. Then, Xiao Chen asked, ”Is the throne still with you?”

”Naturally, it is.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, ”Good. Please state your condition. As long as I can accomplish it, I will definitely do it.”

The Jadeite Sovereign laughed and did not say anything.

”Or perhaps I can make offers and you pick from them?” Xiao Chen suggested unhurriedly.

The Jadeite Sovereign smiled and asked, ”Do you think you can offer something even more tempting than what the Cyclic Astral Lord did?”

It looked like this Jadeite Sovereign had no intention of parting with the throne.
