Chapter 1485 (Raw 1465): Closed-Door Cultivation

"Senior, you must be exaggerating?"

However, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master's stern appearance told Xiao Chen that this was not the case.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master shook his head and said, "I'm absolutely not joking. I have lived for many years. The things that I experienced and know are much more than yours.

"Very long ago, it was not particularly difficult to leave this abandoned land—most of those existences who disappeared in history left. However, now, the Kunlun Road is increasingly more like a road to death; it is practically one already.

"Previously, the Thunder Sovereign was still around and could shoulder some of the problems for you. Now that he is no longer around, no one is willing to submit to another, to cooperate with others. The Kunlun Realm is now unable to withstand any great calamity.

"Right now, you are the Thunder Sovereign's only hope. You are a variable, the one favored by the Kunlun Realm's Luck."

After speaking to this point, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master set down a bottle of the Fiend Race's Medicinal Pills for treating injuries before leaving quietly.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He strangely felt a certain pressure. This Kunlun Realm had long become chaotic already.

However, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master considered this still peaceful. How much more horrifying would the actual storm be?

Extinction… If defeated, would everyone in the Kunlun Realm die?

When this thought popped up, Xiao Chen felt a chill down his spine. He was really unwilling to see this familiar world get destroyed.

Xiao Chen, don't overthink. Just do your best. It is not fair to place the weight of the entire world on your shoulders, said Ao Jiao, who was in the Lunar Shadow Saber, to console him.

Xiao Chen said helplessly, "If I truly am the one favored by Luck, bearing the great Luck of the Heavenly Dao, it is not as simple as just doing my best."

Right now, Xiao Chen grasped the Great Dao Energy and the Divine Lightning Eye, a Supreme Magic Skill. His potential was unlimited.

Surpassing Prime was previously a distant target. Now, he was not that far away from it.

Luck was not something given out for free. The Heavenly Dao was always fair, which was a form of self-protection. Although it was not alive and did not have any intelligence, it was not willing to let the Kunlun Realm be destroyed.

If one did not accomplish anything, Luck might even turn into Misfortune, which would invite ominous events.

However, Ao Jiao's words also made sense. Whether one believed in fate or not, all one had to do was put in their best effort in what they did. If it still did not work, changing the outcome would be impossible. There was no need for unnecessary frustration.

After consuming the medicine the Myriad-Law Fiend Master left behind, Xiao Chen resumed working on his recovery. The wound on his chest healed at a visible pace.

It looked like the Medicinal Pills that the Myriad-Law Fiend Master gave Xiao Chen was a panacea reserved for dire moments.

Naturally, after hearing so much about the cultivation of a Dao from Xiao Chen, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master had to show some appreciation.

After recovering from his injuries, Xiao Chen prepared to enter into closed-door cultivation. However, another unexpected guest arrived.

The one who came was the Cyclic Astral Lord, another one of the Heavenly Starry Ocean's three Primes. He is also the other party in the arrangement that had to be honored within one hundred years.

Xiao Chen was not surprised at the arrival of this person. What was unexpected was this person's swift appearance.

"Little Brother Xiao Chen, congratulations on killing Ao Lang with one hit. You are unrivaled under Prime. Now that you have comprehended Great Dao Energy, it is just a matter of time before you surpass Prime."

The Cyclic Astral Lord showed a carefree smile on his handsome countenance, making one feel very comfortable when seeing him.

However, Xiao Chen knew what the other party was like. He replied indifferently, "Cyclic Astral Lord, you are exaggerating. I do not dare to say that I will surpass Prime."

"I don't have any other purpose in coming here aside from reminding you to cultivate quickly. You do not have much time left. Otherwise, if you are unable to fulfill your oath, you really will die."

The Cyclic Astral Lord still showed a smile on his face. However, his tone was not polite at all. "The Oath Stone is not a joke. If you do not fulfill the oath you made, the consequences will definitely happen."

Xiao Chen detested this person from the bottom of his heart. He said coldly, "Thank you for your auspicious words. Don't worry. I will definitely do it."

"It's good that you remember. Don't disappoint me."

In keeping with the Cyclic Astral Lord's words, after giving Xiao Chen this reminder, he left while laughing heartily.

After the Cyclic Astral Lord left, the Bright Moon Empress, whom Xiao Chen had not seen for a long time, appeared together with Jiang Tian. It looked like there would be many guests today.

So far, all of them were major characters. Of the three Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, not a single one missed out.

The purpose of these two was the same as the Myriad-Law Fiend Master—to ask about the Dao.

Xiao Chen did not find this problematic, explaining everything that he explained to the Myriad-Law Fiend Master earlier.

After the two listened, they each gained significant enlightenment. This was especially so for the Bright Moon Empress. Her pretty eyes looked like stars sparkled in them.

Although this would not result in the Bright Moon Empress comprehending a Dao, it was definitely very beneficial to her cultivation.

"Xiao Chen, it looks like you are truly different from the Azure Emperor back then. I was too prejudiced against you in the past. Please do not take it to heart."

Xiao Chen wondered whether he heard wrong. The Bright Moon Empress actually apologized to him. He smiled bitterly in his heart. Indeed, strength still reigned in this world.

Even the Bright Moon Empress, a noble and elegant existence, paid him respect after he gained sufficient strength.

"Palace Master is being too polite. I have never hated the Lunar Palace."

This was the truth with no falsehood in it. Xiao Chen did not hold any hatred for the Lunar Palace. Of course, he did not have any good impressions of it, either.

After these two left, large numbers of cultivators came. These people were either Holy Masters or the Clan Heads of ancient Noble Clans.

These were all famous major characters of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, people who were hard to meet normally.

However, on this day, because they heard the news, they all rushed to the ruined Dragon's Gate.

In the end, Xiao Chen was forced to close his doors and refuse to meet more guests and had Mo Chen announce that after the Dragon's Gate was rebuilt in three months' time, they would send out invitations.

Otherwise, if Xiao Chen had to keep entertaining these people, he would have no time to cultivate.

With the three Primes' consecutive visits, Xiao Chen understood the urgency of the situation. He needed to cultivate and grow stronger quickly before making a trip to the Azure Dragon Palace.

Naturally, the trip to the Azure Dragon Palace was now imminent.

The trip to the Azure Dragon Palace was very important; nothing could go wrong with it. Hence, Xiao Chen needed to be able to handle Primes before going there. Otherwise, he would just end up like a fish in a net.

Although the three Primes said that Xiao Chen would surpass Prime sooner or later, he did not lose his bearings. The distance between him and a Prime was still rather big. At best, he could use some of his trump cards to pose a threat to Primes.

Xiao Chen had seen Primes making their moves during his Great Tribulation of wind and fire five years ago.

All those who could advance to Primes were not ordinary people, all of them incredibly stronger than him.

Naturally, the first thing he had to do was recover his Primordial Energy. Then, he needed to purify it until he could no longer cultivate it.

After searching his Universe Ring, Xiao Chen organized and counted all the Primordial Pills that he had.

There was a total of two thousand.

This was a large number. If Xiao Chen refined them all, he would be able to recover all his Primordial Energy and even purify it.

While Xiao Chen cultivated, the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean became much more peaceful, as the Myriad-Law Fiend Master had anticipated.

This seemed like the calm before the storm.

After the destruction of the Blood Clad Sect, the Treasure Master seemed to have stopped all his activities, choosing to hide and vanishing from everyone's eyes.

In the Kunlun Continent, the Deity Dao Union also became quiet, not taking any action.

It was like they were waiting for an opportunity. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch rarely showed themselves.

The response of the Deity Dao Union surprised many, who had thought that the alliance would go and seek trouble for the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen.

No one expected the Deity Dao Union to be so unruffled, not showing any reaction.

However, such peaceful days would eventually come to an end. The monumental battle that would take place because of the Azure Dragon Palace would far surpass Xiao Chen's expectations.
