Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1484 (Raw 1464): Calamity Approaches

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign appeared uncertain. The other two could not figure out what he was thinking.

However, they did not want to interrupt him, so they could only wait.

After a long time, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said coldly, ”There’s no need. There is no need for him to die yet. Wait first. Wait for him to open the doors of the Azure Dragon Palace. After that, he can die.”

”The Azure Dragon Palace?”

The East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God were somewhat confused. What time was this already? To think that Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign still intended to leave a tiger be and let a potential disaster grow!

”That’s right, the Azure Dragon Palace.”

Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said indifferently, ”Back then, the Azure Emperor could rise up because of this Azure Dragon Palace. Have you ever thought about why, even though they are human Holy Lands as well, the Phoenix’s Passion Palace, the White Emperor City, and the Divine Martial Gate do not have a holy palace?”

”This…”

This was something from ten thousand years ago. The Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch truly did not know much. Furthermore, they did not really pay note to news about this.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was different. Ten thousand years ago, the Deity Race was even stronger than it was now. However, it was defeated by the Azure Emperor and his Dragon’s Gate.

For the past ten thousand years, the Deity Race had been investigating the Azure Dragon Palace, expending a lot of manpower and resources.

”I never thought about it. Could there be something more behind it?” The East Mountain Ghost Monarch’s eyes flickered as he looked somewhat anxiously at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

The Azure Dragon Palace was a place even more horrifying than the eight great forbidden lands.

They would be lying if they said that they were not tempted.

”Of course, there is more to it. Before ten thousand years ago, the Azure Dragon Palace did not exist here. Do you understand what I mean? That is to say, the Azure Dragon Palace did not come from the Kunlun Realm but the great world beyond the abandoned land.”

The East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God were astonished. They had never heard of such a secret before this.

”Is that true?”

”The Three Holy Masters already personally testified to this. How can it be false?”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said, ”Why could the Azure Emperor rise up back then? It was because of the Azure Dragon Palace. Furthermore, this Azure Dragon Palace contained the inheritance of the Dragon Race from outside this abandoned land.

”The Azure Emperor could only grow that strong by relying on the inheritance of the Dragon Land from outside the abandoned land, becoming the strongest person after the Ancient Era.”

The East Mountain Ghost Monarch still felt doubtful in his heart. ”In that case, why did the inheritance of the other three Holy Lands from outside the abandoned land not appear? Why was it only the Dragon’s Gate?”

Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign replied, ”I do not know about that. We will know the answer only after entering the Azure Dragon Palace. Hence, we cannot touch Xiao Chen now. We can kill him only after he opens the Azure Dragon Palace’s doors!”

Suddenly, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God asked, ”Why are you willing to tell us such important information only today?”

”Matters already escaped my control. Don’t worry. There should be some benefits if we manage to enter the Azure Dragon Palace. We will definitely split them equally among the three of us.”

Clearly, the initial silence was because the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was considering whether to tell this to the Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch or not.

Given the current situation, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign made his decision. Xiao Chen’s growth surpassed his expectations.

This forced the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign to give way and form a true alliance with the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God.

”As for what to do, it depends on the two of you. If you still want to kill Xiao Chen, I will go along and definitely put in my full power to eliminate this threat.”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign tossed the ball back to these two, not saying anything more.

After a while, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God decided not to kill Xiao Chen for now.

In the end, it was as the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign expected. These two could not resist the temptation of the Azure Dragon Palace.

Back on Heavenly Star Island, at the main peak of the Dragon’s Gate, Xiao Chen treated his injuries in his personal courtyard.

This was one of the few places that were not destroyed by the Blood Clad Sect.

The other injuries of his body were not particularly severe. There was only one rather problematic one: the wound on his chest.

Before Ao Lang died, he infused all his cultivation into a final strike. If not for the strength of Xiao Chen’s physical body, this attack would have pierced through Xiao Chen’s heart on the spot.

At the foot of the peak, the Dragon’s Gate Elders were currently gathering up the remaining Dragon’s Gate disciples and dealing with the funeral for those who died.

After these people were released from their restraints, they recovered rather quickly, aside from being mentally fatigued.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a strong aura. After the owner of that strong aura scanned Heavenly Star Island, this person quickly flew towards him.

This person was very strong. Aside from Xiao Chen, no one else discovered this person.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and happened to see the Myriad-Law Fiend Master land in front of him.

Xiao Chen was somewhat startled to see him. He had gotten the impression that this old man did not care for much in the world.

In the Myriad Fiend Island, even the Myriad-Law Fiend Master’s descendants found it hard to meet him even once.

Back then, when Xiao Chen went to the Myriad Fiend Island, his meeting the Myriad-Law Fiend Master provoked envy in many of Myriad Fiend Island’s denizens.

Xiao Chen stopped circulating his energy and temporarily gave up on treating his injuries as he stood up and asked, ”Senior, what’s the matter?”

”Asking about the Dao!”

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master was very straightforward, not hiding anything.

With these simple words, Xiao Chen realized the Myriad-Law Fiend Master’s objective. The Myriad-Law Fiend Master already knew about that battle with the Blood Clad Sect.

”That’s right. This junior did indeed grasp the complete Saber Dao. However, I’m only at First Peek at Initiation and still have a long way to go.”

Xiao Chen answered honestly, having no intention of hiding anything.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master showed an expression of joy, appearing somewhat excited. ”You really managed to grasp Great Dao Energy?”

Xiao Chen nodded, and with a thought, he sent out Great Dao Energy that formed a faint disk that shone behind him.

Then, the Dao disk condensed into a point before elongating. As this happened, the Dao Might grew.

”Boom!”

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master slowly felt pressure. He had no choice but to bring out his aura to resist it.

”Enough. You are currently injured. There is no need to continue demonstrating. The ancients did not cheat us. The Great Dao truly exists in this world. However, this old man is too stupid. Unfortunately, I will not be able to comprehend the Dao in this life.”

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master gestured for Xiao Chen to stop. As he spoke, he was somewhat disappointed. Since he had not comprehended a Dao by his age, it meant that he had no fate with the Dao. His thoughts are already set; it would be difficult to change.

If Xiao Chen had demonstrated this to the Myriad-Law Fiend Master one thousand years ago and explained it, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master was fifty percent confident he would have grasped Great Dao Energy as well.

Following this, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master asked Xiao Chen about the mysteries of the Dao and some of the tricks behind it.

Xiao Chen was not stingy with his information, explaining everything he could to the other party.

No matter what, the other party had helped him during his Great Tribulation of wind and fire. Xiao Chen felt indebted to him, so speaking about this was nothing much.

After a while, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master asked, ”Do you blame me for not helping out when the Dragon’s Gate was destroyed?”

Xiao Chen shook his head and replied, ”No, Senior does not have any duty to defend the Dragon’s Gate. I cannot stand on the moral high ground and blame others.”

”It is good that you can think that way. It is not that I was not willing to help. Let me tell you the truth: all those who could help you were delayed—apparently by coincidences.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master smiled and added, ”However, after that, the Blood Clad Sect did not dare to go overboard. They did not mistreat the Dragon’s Gate Elders after capturing them.”

Xiao Chen was startled. His thoughts raced as fast as lightning. After some quick thinking, he said, ”Someone is testing me?”

”That’s right. You probably guessed who it is already. However, he should be suffering regrets right now. He underestimated your strength.”

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master continued, ”Your appearance spoiled his plans. The Heavenly Starry Ocean will probably enter into great chaos in advance. Given that person’s ability, he is just refraining from making a move. Once he acts, the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean will suffer from an extinction-level calamity.”

As for who that person was, the answer was clear, not needing to be said.

Xiao Chen asked doubtfully, ”Why did the few of you Primes not work together and attack? Could it be that three Primes are still insufficient to defeat him?”

”Of course, three Primes can defeat him. However, because we cannot figure him out, we dare not do so. No one can withstand the consequences of a true falling-out. We can only raise our guard in secret and make preparations.”

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master sighed softly, ”This matter is even more complicated than you imagine. The attack on the Dragon’s Gate is just the start. Cultivate properly and use this rare period of peace. Do your best to improve your strength further.

”A great calamity approaches. A storm is about to arrive, a storm that can destroy the world after it descends…”
