Chapter 1533 (Raw 1515): There Will Be a Final Battle
“Then, what do you want?”
Xiao Chen was flabbergasted . Chu Chaoyun actually did not want the Heavenly Flame, a treasure that the other party put in a lot of effort to obtain . What else could be more attractive than the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame?
“I just want a promise from you . ”
This stunned Xiao Chen . Then, he looked at the other party and said, “Very well, I’ll make that promise . I also have another question: do you know who the Treasure Master is?”
Chu Chaoyun was slightly stunned, not knowing why Xiao Chen agreed without even thinking about it .
After a while, Chu Chaoyun answered, “Naturally, I know about his other identity in the Deep Abyss Demonic World; that would be the Dark Church’s Church Master . However, I rarely interacted with him . Most of the time, he would not be in the Demonic World, leaving most of the sect matters to the two Vice Church Masters . ”
Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he muttered, “Actually, I have always wanted to ask how exactly you are related to him . ”
Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, “There is no relation . I met him only once . I helped him with something, and he helped me with something . That’s all .
“To be more accurate, he should be an enemy now . If you cannot kill him, I will be the one to kill him . ”
Xiao Chen revealed a contemplative look . Apparently, Chu Chaoyun did not know about the Treasure Master’s other identity . In the entire world, probably only Xiao Chen would think of that person .
If not for hearing some things in the Azure Dragon Palace, Xiao Chen would not think of this . That person really hid well .
After a long period of silence, Xiao Chen said, “I feel that the matter between us can be resolved by discussion . I already roughly know the reasons for our conflicts . Don’t worry . I do not want the divine item that the Tianwu Emperor left behind . You can leave for the outer realm . ”
Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, “The divine item is just the opening . We stand on opposite sides . There is no way for us to get along unless you choose to turn a blind eye . I will walk the same path that the last Tianwu Emperor did ten thousand years ago, doing the exact same thing . ”
Xiao Chen was speechless when he heard that . The last Tianwu Emperor from ten thousand years ago wanted to merge the three thousand lower realms and consume the entire Kunlun Realm’s Luck before finally leaving the abandoned land .
The last Tianwu Emperor wanted to sacrifice the future of everyone in the Kunlun Realm for his alone .
When Xiao Chen remained silent, Chu Chaoyun continued with a smile, “I already said long ago, our destination is the same . Unfortunately, there will be a final battle; it is unavoidable . ”
Xiao Chen frowned . “Why? Many people want to leave the abandoned land and already find it difficult to succeed . Now, you have this chance . You should treasure it . Why the need for such a great ambition?”
Ambition?
Chu Chaoyun’s smile turned bitter . However, he did not wish to discuss this further or explain anything .
“Given your talent, I believe that even without all the Luck of the entire Kunlun Realm, you can still gain fame and prestige for yourself outside the abandoned land . ”
Chu Chaoyun remained silent, not answering Xiao Chen . The person he needed to defeat was not that simple . Even if he worked hard for his entire life, he might not even be able to defeat that person .
Only by obtaining the Luck of the entire Kunlun Realm would he have a small chance .
“You should go . Your family is safer remaining in the Sky Dome Realm compared to the Kunlun Realm . I’ll help you take good care of them . ”
When words got sour, adding words was useless . There was no more talking with Chu Chaoyun after he asked Xiao Chen to leave .
“Goodbye!”
Xiao Chen’s face sank; he was likewise unwilling to say anything more . He simply could not understand why the other party had to do this .
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you . This was the principle that Xiao Chen lived by . He absolutely would not do something that would cause trouble for the entire world for the sake of his selfishness .
Chu Chaoyun was not willing to explain, because even if he did, Xiao Chen still would not understand .
Only I know the worries in my heart . Those who do not know me know not what I seek .
As Xiao Chen left, he recalled a certain scene in his mind . When he first merged the seven thrones, he saw a moment of fate . Chu Chaoyun had stood in the Sky Dome Realm, merging the three thousand lower realms and waiting for a battle with him .
It seems like fate really cannot be changed .
After parting from Chu Chaoyun, Xiao Chen was in no rush to leave the Sky Dome Realm . Since he already came to the Sky Dome Realm, he wanted to stay with the Xiao Clan for a few days .
The many events in the Kunlun Realm left him very fatigued . He had not had a chance to have a good rest yet .
Perhaps, this would be his last chance to relax in the Kunlun Realm . After this, he would have to face the Demonic Calamity, not knowing whether he would survive or not .
Three days later, Xiao Chen left the Sky Dome Realm and returned to the Profound Domain in the Kunlun Realm .
Alone, he walked to the foot of the tallest peak of Kunlun Mountain . This peak towered into the clouds . No one knew where the summit ended .
Rumor said that this peak was the Kunlun Road, also known as the Road to Heaven . By continuing to climb this peak, one could walk out of the Kunlun Realm .
However, now, this Kunlun Road had already turned into a road of death . Few walked it . Only people who truly neared death would drum up the courage to try it .
Along the way, Xiao Chen discovered that the west of the mountain range was completely quiet .
In a mere three days, all the sects and clans had moved to the east of the mountain range . This Kunlun Mountain was like the final line of defense for the entire Kunlun Realm .
Long queues snaked along the foot of the mountain . Countless cultivators wanted to enter this peak . Most of these people were loose cultivators . Without the connection of a sect, they did not have the right to enter directly .
Xiao Chen looked at the queues . If he had to line up, he did not know when he would be able to enter the mountain .
Just as Xiao Chen hesitated over whether to sneak in or not, two figures landed in front of him .
“You are Xiao Chen?”
These two figures wore long robes with treasure swords on their backs . They wore the same uniform and were both Martial Emperors .
Xiao Chen nodded and took out his Lunar Shadow Saber, proving his identity .
“The Lunar Shadow Saber, it can’t be wrong . Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, this saber is the best proof . The two of us are fourth-generation disciples of the Kunlun Palace . Under orders from Palace Master Feng, we are here to receive you . ”
[TL Note: Fourth-generation disciples likely means the fourth generation in relation to the current sect master . ]
After Xiao Chen proved his identity, the two’s expressions clearly showed reverence and respect as they looked at him .
Xiao Chen, who did not know the way and did not want to queue up, followed the two right away without much thought .
They flew all the way up . Along the way, many pairs of eyes sized him up surreptitiously . There were many checkpoints on this seemingly unremarkable peak with experts guarding them .
Xiao Chen wondered what the Kunlun Palace was like .
He was also very curious about their Palace Master . He did not know how strong this mysterious person was .
This was a person whom even the Treasure Master feared . He should not be weak . At the very least, he should not be weaker than the Primes .
After flying past the clouds, Xiao Chen saw the silhouette of a palace that stood on a broken cliff with clouds surrounding it . It looked like it was floating on a sea of clouds, bobbing up and down, like it was heaven .
As Xiao Chen approached, he discovered many young cultivators were practicing in the plaza in front of the palace .
He felt shocked in his heart . He had never heard of these youths before . However, all of them were no weaker than the outstanding talents of the world outside of this place .
The three passed this plaza quickly . The disciples there came to a stop, putting down the weapons in their hands, curiously eyeing Xiao Chen as he flew by .
“He is the Azure Dragon King?”
“He is really young . He looks even younger than us . ”
“Rumors outside say that he is already the strongest person of the Kunlun Realm, someone surpassing Prime . ”
“That’s impossible . Can he be stronger than the Palace Master?”
“It should not be false . After all, the Palace Master personally invited him over to meet him . However, it is hard to say whether he is stronger than the Palace Master or not . ”
Amid the disciples discussing this, there was a girl who appeared distracted . She never said a word .
She was Leng Liusu . Back then, before Nuan Muyun, the Phoenix’s Passion Palace’s Holy Daughter, left for the Astral Battlefield, Nuan Muyun sent her to the Kunlun Palace .
After that, Nuan Muyun died in the Astral Battlefield, and Leng Liusu never left .
When Xiao Chen was about to arrive at the palace, he suddenly stopped . Then, he turned around and looked carefully .
When he gracefully glanced over earlier, Xiao Chen had seen a familiar face . Now that he looked carefully, he did indeed discover Leng Liusu’s figure .
Memories immediately surged into his mind . He had not seen Leng Liusu for a long time; he had thought that she had perished in the Astral Battlefield like Nuan Muyun .
Leng Liusu was once the Young Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion . There were some interesting events when he first entered the Heavenly Saber Pavilion .
However, after that, they barely had any interaction, and he had almost forgotten about this person .
“Azure Dragon King, is there someone you know among these junior brothers and sisters?”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, “There is one . ”
“Do you want to meet that person? If you do not take long, the Palace Master can wait . ”
“Never mind . Meeting is as good as not meeting . ”
Even if Xiao Chen met with Leng Liusu, he would not know what to say, so he shook his head and looked away .
