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?”
