Chapter 1429: The Seals Were Opened

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Next day, the news about Lin Yueru’s murder of Wu State’s Meng Luohe spread like wildfire.

Wu State was one of the most powerful states among the Xia Clan’s 36 vassal states, and, since the great general had been killed by an outsider, the Xia Clan was disgraced thoroughly.

If it had been someone else who had attacked Meng Luohe, the Xia Clan would have attacked that person right away. But since it had been the Sword Fairy who had done it, the Xia Clan so far hadn’t done anything about it.

However, the Sovereign Spirit Palace summoned Lin Yueru and asked her to return quickly.

“I understand,” Lin Yueru replied coldly to the black-clothed man who had come over to notify her.

“Sword Fairy, the Deputy Palace Master hopes that you set out on your journey immediately,” the black-clothed man emphasized his instructions and didn’t leave. He wasn’t haughty, but he also wasn’t humble. He took a strong tone with her.

“Does he want to criticize me?” Lin Yueru raised her brows, while her gaze became ice-cold.

“He wouldn’t dare,” the black-clothed man was startled and lowered his head. But he still didn’t leave.

“Fine, I will leave now.”

Upon witnessing his determined attitude, Lin Yueru was displeased. She waved her hand at him in dismissal, before she turned around and faced Jiang Chen and Duan Yun.

Since Lin Yueru was now in front of a stranger, she restrained her emotions and took her leave along with Duan Yun.

“Brother Chen, you should be careful,” Lin Yueru transmitted her voice to Jiang Chen before she left the restaurant.

“I bid you farewell too,” Duan Yun patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder and followed Lin Yueru outside.

“Okay!” Jiang Chen nodded at him. He would stay in Xuanwu City and wait for the three great factions’ instructions relating to the Sovereign Road’s next stage, or, more accurately, he was waiting for the outcome of the trial.

Jiang Chen followed the Sovereign Spirit Palace’s members with his eyes until they were out of sight, before he went to look for Ao Yue and Miss Bai.

Duan Yun had left, while Jiang Chen didn’t have a close relationship with Yan Yu and her four companions. This was why their small team had been disbanded.

Jiang Chen expressed his thanks and an apology to Ao Yue. He had clung to his decision to protect Miss Bai, which made the Ninth Princess end up in a dilemma.

“Nothing was wrong about this affair. Didn’t you clearly state that those were different matters that weren’t related to each other?” Ao Yue didn’t care about this, and she rolled her eyes.

She said, “However, you are probably aware of the relationship between the Nine Realms and the Monster Realm. The Monster-Slaying Palace is just the beginning.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s expression stiffened, and he understood Ao Yue’s implication. If he got too close to the Monster Clan, he would end up offending all of the Divine Martial Arts Realm’s factions. However, he couldn’t avoid this due to Whitey.

Since Ao Yue and Miss Bai were on bad terms, Jiang Chen had to visit the two women back and forth separately for the next few days. When other people watched his movements, they all respected him greatly. An average person wouldn’t be able to have close relations with two peerless beauties from the Monster and Dragon Clans.

After five days, the trial came to an end, and, once news about it spread, a commotion arose in the Divine Martial Arts Realm.

The Young Sovereigns chosen for the Martial Field were all peerless geniuses, and they were either Sovereign Spirit Reincarnators or people with a special body or rare Holy Veins.

Moreover, the Martial Field was a world constructed by all factions through spending a lot of effort, and this was why the Young Sovereign managed to make astonishing achievements there.

When the trial came to an end, and the Young Sovereigns exited, the three great factions took 20 people quickly, and news spread that all those 20 people got a chance to become Sovereigns.

An uproar arose in the whole Divine Martial Arts Realm. There were 20 potential Sovereigns!

Half of the Sovereign Road’s plan hadn’t even been completed yet, and that was why even a Divine King might appear in its last stage.

After a short while passed, the three great factions announced that the Sovereign Road trial would be temporarily stopped for a single year because the Young Sovereigns had received so many benefits that they needed enough time to digest what they had gotten.

It was the three great factions who stated this, which was why no one had any objections. However, the Young Sovereigns already in Xuanwu City were depressed.

The reason behind this was that the Young Sovereigns from the Ancient Ruins wanted to raise their power swiftly, and they didn’t require a whole year. They were clearly aware that this year was given to the outstanding Young Sovereigns so that they could prepare well.

“We are just auxiliary companions.”

“No, we are at most just cannon fodder.”

The Young Sovereigns from the Ancient Ruins were all in a bad mood. They all left Xuanwu City and went back to their homes.

“I will go back to the Dragon Realm and do some secluded cultivation,” Ao Yue said. She was also disappointed, but she wasn’t disheartened.

“Okay,” Jiang Chen agreed, though he didn’t plan to leave now. He saw off Princess Ao Yue.

As for Miss Bai, she didn’t plan to go back to the Monster Realm either, while she also didn’t have any goals and kind of felt aimless like Jiang Chen.

“It’s just the survival of the fittest and natural selection. Only a few people can manage to become Sovereigns or Gods, and we have fallen behind the others due to some people’s machinations. We have become supporting characters.”

Miss Bai didn’t have an open-minded view about this matter like Ao Yue because she bore the weight of a certain mission on her shoulders. This was why she was quite displeased.

“Don’t lose control of yourself, and let it change you,” Jiang Chen spoke and comforted her.

“I’m a monster, and that was why they didn’t pick me and allow me to go to the Martial Field. As for you, it’s because you have disrupted the Seventh Realm’s power structure. Since you don’t have a solid foundation, they arranged for you to go to the Western Plains. Are you willing to accept this?” Miss Bai questioned him.

Someone with Jiang Che’s talent should have gone to the Martial Field from the very beginning. It was obvious from his gains in the Ancient Ruins that if he had gone to the Martial Field, he might have already managed to become a Saint.

“Who would be willing to accept this? But falling behind for a moment doesn’t mean that one will always be behind.”

Jiang Chen also had some complaints about this matter. But this still didn’t affect his mind.

“Both you and I…” Miss Bai didn’t have such a firm will, and she couldn’t get over this matter so easily.

“A Sovereign Spirit has peerless magical techniques, extreme martial techniques, as well as many pieces of lost knowledge.”

“What kind of changes will the fusion with a Sovereign Spirit from 500 years ago bring to a person?”

“After a year passes, the Young Sovereigns that took advantage of such an opportunity to train will come out, and they will surely surpass us greatly.”

Upon hearing Miss Bai’s words, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but nod. It could be imagined that at that moment, a group of Sovereigns with extreme martial techniques and all kinds of magical techniques would appear. They could all overturn the sea with a slight movement, and they could soar up to the firmament or drill into the depths of the earth. They would be nearly omnipotent!

He wouldn’t be able to contend against them. However, since Jiang Chen’s divine soul had awakened, it could be said in a sense that his situation wasn’t any worse than those people’s, and that was why he was at ease.

As for Miss Bai, it was normal that she couldn’t keep her calm.

“It doesn’t matter, we must first let our realm level’s power overtake them. This is the most important matter,” Jiang Chen said.

Miss Bai had already given vent to her feelings, and she gradually regained her composure. But she was displeased by such unfairness, as the requirements set for monsters to get into the Sovereign Road were too strict.

“What do you plan to do next?” Miss Bai asked.

“I will go to the Central Plains and look for Whitey,” Jiang Chen said.

“That’s a good idea,” Miss Bai agreed, because she now realized that Whitey should have also come out since the Martial Field trial had come to an end.

“Oh, my God!”

All of a sudden, Miss Bai’s expression changed drastically, and she became dumbfounded.

As Miss Bai faced Jiang Chen’s restless gaze, she spoke with surprise, “Whitey’s 33 seals were lifted completely, and he revealed his original form.”

“What? Why didn’t I get any information about this matter?” Jiang Chen’s heart sank, and he quickly sent the Heavenly Palace’s clone to buy information about this matter from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

After a short while, Jiang Chen found out what had happened, and his expression became gloomy.

According to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s intelligence, Whitey had suffered the same treatment as Miss Bai had in the Martial Field, and the Monster-Slaying Palace had forced his hand. This was why he had ended up revealing his vicious nature. He had also lost his reason and revealed his original form.

What was especially crucial was that Whitey hadn’t come out when the Sovereign Road’s passage was opened, which meant he was still stranded in there.

Jiang Chen recalled the reactions of the people who hadn’t seen the people they cared about when the channel was closed, and he could now understand their feelings.
