Chapter 1283: Worry about the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire

"Let's go. The celebratory feast should be ready. Come with me and meet Yue Chenxi, Jin Lin, and the others. They are on the island and they are not weak, either."

With the successful conclusion of the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony, naturally, they had to hold a celebratory feast and properly thank the people of the Dragon's Gate for their hard work. Xiao Chen also would be taking out treasures from the Dragon's Gate's Treasure Trove and his own collection to reward those who contributed.

Shui Lingling smiled and said, "Sure, I kind of miss them as well. I should go see if they suffered here."

After the bustling celebratory feast ended, Xiao Chen returned to his new exclusive peak alone.

Then, he took out a Sage Grade Medicinal Pill for treating injuries and started to cultivate quietly.

Since the start of the day, he had not gotten a good rest. Now, he needed to treat his wounds properly. Otherwise, it would be hard to clear up the consequences of using Deities Descending.

In the battle today, Xiao Chen caught fourteen three-kilometer-long weapons in quick succession. After revealing many of his trump cards, he finally gained a clear understanding of his strength.

His foundation was still far from that of a true Martial Emperor. If he possessed the Golden Emperor Body of Martial Emperors, he would not have ended up like he did, severely injured.

Half-step Golden Body. It was just a half step away, but there was a clear and mortal weakness underneath his strong appearance.

After he calmed down, he remembered the tribulation cloud that appeared at the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony.

The gathering of Luck had stopped with the advent of the tribulation cloud. If Xiao Chen did not deal with this tribulation cloud, the flourishing fate of the Dragon's Gate might come to an end as well.

No matter what, he could not avoid this Great Tribulation of wind and fire, which turned into his greatest worry.

Even the Flame Rock Sovereign could not simulate Xiao Chen's Great Tribulation of wind and fire. How strong exactly would it be? This thought made him feel extremely gloomy.

After Xiao Chen digested the Sage Grade Medicinal Pill and completely recovered from his injuries, he muttered, "Before my Great Tribulation arrives, perhaps I should make a trip back home."

Martial Emperors were not permitted to descend to the Sky Dome Realm. After he cleared his Great Tribulation of wind and fire, he would not be able to return.

Hence, in the two-odd years that Xiao Chen had left before the tribulation, he needed to make a trip back, returning to see the people he ought to see.

Depression currently permeated the Western Sea Dragon Palace, which was not that distant from Heavenly Star Island. From the upper echelon to the servants, everyone felt extremely despondent.

When the Dragon's Gate's Luck gathered, clouds in all directions appeared like a vast army charging towards the Dragon's Gate. Everyone had seen the mysterious phenomenon for themselves.

Everyone knew that the Dragon's Gate was already gathering Luck. As for the Western Sea Dragon Palace, which was the closest to them, it would definitely be affected.

If the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace had decided to cast its lot with the Dragon's Gate earlier, it might have been able to use this opportunity to grow stronger.

However, this was now clearly impossible. Everyone of every level in the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace knew that they had broken off all ties with the Dragon's Gate when the Western Sea Dragon King rushed back from Heavenly Star Island in a sorry state.

When people thought about their future, no one in the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace could smile.

Inside the empty palace hall, Ao Lang drank alone. He showed a sullen expression, one that looked intimidating.

Ao Lang drank cup after cup. However, he suddenly saw traces of blood in his wine. He roared angrily and tossed the wine cup aside to shatter into powder.

Blood leaked out uncontrollably from a corner of his lips. His face twitched involuntarily in pain.

The injury from the Prime Ying Zongtian's palm strike had not healed yet; Ao Lang's internal organs remained shattered. A powerful energy suppressed the Primordial Energy in Ao Lang's body, preventing them from recovering.

"Brother Ao, this time, you are truly significantly injured."

Just at this moment, a black figure walked into the empty hall. Clearly, this was not a person of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace. However, this person did not startle anyone when he made his way here.

This new arrival startled Ao Lang. However, when he clearly saw the appearance of this figure, his wariness slowly vanished, and a trace of rage appeared.

"The Heavenly Starry Ocean's Treasure Master, what are you doing here? Earlier, when I sought you out to ruin the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony, you did not agree. Now that I have failed, are you here to see how I made a joke of myself?" Ao Lang snorted coldly.

The person who came was none other than Yi Ling's father, the most mysterious Treasure Master of the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

The Treasure Master handed over a jade bottle and said, "The Sage Grade Medicinal Pill in there can help you recover quickly from your injuries."

"What are you here for?" Ao Lang received the Sage Grade Medicinal Pill and eyed at the other party suspiciously.

The Treasure Master smiled faintly and said, "Nothing much. I'm just here to give you an opportunity to take revenge in the future."

Two months later, the storm created by the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment had slowly subsided.

All sorts of discussion and controversies took place. However, the Dragon's Gate that was destroyed ten thousand years ago was finally reestablished, which instantly attracted countless cultivators who want to join the Dragon's Gate. They wanted a piece of the Dragon's Gate's glory and to see what was different with this new Dragon's Gate.

However, Xiao Chen did not open up the Dragon's Gate to others. The new disciples of the Dragon's Gate were all youths and talented cultivators of Heavenly Star Island.

Firstly, there were not enough resources. Secondly, Xiao Chen did not have any ambition or thoughts of expanding his faction's strength.

For the past two months, Xiao Chen did not do anything. He only made a trip to the Black Sea and convinced the thirteen Great Bandits to each give a lecture at the Dragon's Gate once a year.

This way, there would be a Sovereign Martial Emperor coming to the Dragon's Gate every month to give a lecture. This made up for the weakness of the Dragon's Gate's peak powers.

With the passage of two months, everything in the Dragon's Gate was on the right track. Actually, there was nothing too different from the past. However, now, the cultivators on the island could puff their chests out with pride and call themselves people of the Dragon's Gate. They no longer needed to call themselves just residents of Heavenly Star Island.

The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace no longer came to cause trouble. After the lesson from the Supreme Sky Prime, Ao Lang would absolutely not dare to mess around, even if he were much more courageous.

------

At this moment, at a drill ground of the main peak of the Dragon's Gate, four delicate youths, who still looked like they possessed the innocence of childhood, were brandishing the sabers in their hands and practicing basic Saber Techniques.

Outside the drill ground, a white figure watched them seriously and meticulously along with a pretty and charming girl who had a somewhat mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

Naturally, this person was Xiao Chen. The one by his side was Xiao Yu, who was responsible for instructing the new disciples.

The basic Saber Techniques only consisted of eight moves: sweep, hack, push, pare, skim, swing, chop, and pierce. They looked simple and foundational. However, they were actually all-inclusive. All the gorgeous Saber Techniques used in combat could not be separated from these eight moves.

Xiao Chen was someone who had been through this before and deeply understood this principle. He knew how important the basic Saber Techniques were to a bladesman.

As for why he was here, it naturally had something to do with Xiao Yu. Back then, he promised to take time out and teach the new disciples. So, he got Xiao Yu to select some of the youths who were more talented at the saber, for him to give them pointers.

After hearing that the Azure Dragon King would personally guide them, these four youths were all anxious and brimming with anticipation. After they saw Xiao Chen, they all brought out their best abilities. They all executed their Saber Techniques either in a tyrannical manner or with a majestic and imposing appearance, trying to attract Xiao Chen's attention.

After Xiao Chen saw this, he nodded to himself. These four all possessed strong talent. They were only twelve or thirteen, but they already touched on the threshold of saber intent. They would probably be able to comprehend saber intent in another year or two.

Xiao Chen gave some pointers to the four youths on the Saber Techniques that they used, making some alterations. After that, he suggested to the four that they focus on the basic Saber Techniques, firming up their foundations. He even gave them a personal demonstration.

At first, these four youths were somewhat reluctant to obey. However, when they saw how Xiao Chen could bring out thousands of variations in the basic Saber Techniques in such a simple yet elegant manner, they stopped complaining.

Xiao Chen occasionally came to check on these four youths. He found that their improvements were pretty good.

"How are they, Big Brother Xiao Chen? Can these four precious students of mine produce a Saber Sovereign?" Xiao Yu asked eagerly at the side.

Xiao Chen laughed. This goal was really big. Even he dared not say he could become a Saber Sovereign.

"Hey, hey! Why are you laughing? Quickly tell me!" Xiao Yu did not feel happy with this. Right now, what she was most concerned about was this group of disciples she treasured.

Xiao Chen helplessly and objectively said, "They are all talented. If nothing unexpected happens, they should not have any problem advancing to Martial Sage. If they had sufficient opportunities, it would be possible for them to become Martial Emperors. However, Saber Sovereign would be rather difficult."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Martial Emperor is pretty good as well. If I, Xiao Yu, can groom a Martial Emperor, I will be proud."

"Big Brother Xiao!"

Just at this moment, the veiled Mo Chen, who appeared in Xiao Chen's vision, called out to him from the small mountain path.

Xiao Chen felt excited. When he thought about it, the thing that he entrusted to her was probably completed, and he could finally make a move.

"Xiao Yu, I will probably return only after a long time. I will leave these disciples to you."

Upon hearing that Xiao Chen was leaving, the four youths practicing the saber stopped immediately and asked, "Sect Master, when are you coming back?"

"When you return, we will definitely have practiced the basic Saber Techniques to perfection."

"Sect Master, what are you going to do?!"

Xiao Chen turned his head back and smiled. "I'm going to meet the person who taught me the basic Saber Techniques. Keep practicing. When I come back, I will test all of you."

Xiao Chen saw a shadow of his previous self in this group of youths. He also thought about Qingyun Peak and the woman who taught him the basic Saber Techniques. That was a set of beautiful memories imprinted in his mind. No matter how much time passed, he would never forget them.

"The transportation formation is ready? Are you sure that it can send me to the Sky Dome Realm?" Xiao Chen asked in a hurry as he arrived beside Mo Chen.

Mo Chen replied, "It requires Superior Grade Astral Cores. Jin Dabao already sent people to deliver them. The transportation formation connects with the one in the Great Qin Nation's Royal Court in the Sky Dome Realm."

Great Qin Nation's Royal Court?

Xiao Chen had long known that the Great Qin Nation's Royal Clan was a branch family of the Kunlun Realm's Ying Clan. This connection served as further confirmation. Otherwise, a royal court in a lower realm could not have a transportation formation to the upper realm.

"Let's go!" Xiao Chen said.

However, Mo Chen did not move. Instead, she seemed to be hesitating over something she wanted to say. Xiao Chen stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Mo Chen?"

"Big Brother Xiao, are you sure you want to return to the Sky Dome Realm?" Mo Chen asked.

Xiao Chen nodded. "After two months of quiet cultivation, I can already vaguely sense my limits. Right now, I have to be very careful when I cultivate to avoid raising my cultivation by too much. I need to return to the Sky Dome Realm before my Great Tribulation of wind and fire."
