Chapter 1476 (Raw 1456): Success in Comprehending the Dao
Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace!
With the words “Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace” echoing in his mind, Xiao Chen silently left Heavenly Star Island . Then, he casually arrived at an island in the Western Sea .
This island was known as Starry Universe Island . It was not really famous locally, but it was one of the few islands that chose to be neutral .
It had not chosen to envassal itself to the Dragon’s Gate or the Blood Clad Sect . Due to the island’s poor location and lack of resources, the Blood Clad Sect did not make a move on it .
In recent times, the traffic in Starry Universe City on Starry Universe Island had clearly increased .
The reason was obvious: its neutrality .
Now, the Blood Clad Sect was flourishing . There were many factions that chose to envassal themselves to the Blood Clad Sect . Most of the Western Sea was filled with the Blood Clad Sect’s factions . Finding a peaceful place was extremely hard .
The factions destroyed by the Blood Clad Sect and the cultivators headed to the Western Sea would choose to stop here .
Xiao Chen came here to find news about Mo Chen and the other Dragon’s Gate Elders .
The best source of information was naturally an information broker . As long as one had money, one could find out anything . However, there was also the risk of exposing his identity .
Hence, Xiao Chen could only seek out other avenues .
Restaurants naturally became Xiao Chen’s target . The restaurants of any city would always be where people from all walks of life gathered . The people idly chatting there would definitely discuss the latest news from the Dragon’s Gate’s destruction .
After entering the largest restaurant in the city, Xiao Chen looked for a table in a quiet corner and called over a waiter . Then, he ordered a flask of wine and started to drink casually .
All sorts of discussions rang out in the large hall, adding a lot of noise to the lively atmosphere .
This was how restaurants were normally like . If one preferred peace and quiet, one would have to go to a teahouse .
[TL Note: The word for “restaurant” here includes the character for wine . So it is basically a wine house . However, it does not make sense to sell wine without food . Think of this place as something like a bar and grill but one that serves all sorts of dishes aside from grilled food . ]
As Xiao Chen expected, the main topic of discussion in the restaurant was the Dragon’s Gate’s destruction .
Xiao Chen already knew how the Dragon’s Gate was destroyed . He pricked his ears up and listened for information about Mo Chen and the others .
“I heard that the Blood Clad Sect already announced that if the Azure Dragon King still does not appear within half a month, they will start executing people in Western Dragon City . They will kill one person every day until Xiao Chen appears . ”
“How ruthless! The Blood Clad Sect is actually using such unscrupulous means to force Xiao Chen out, even doing something that shameless . ”
“However, this Xiao Chen is also another matter . Why did he not appear? If he had, the Dragon’s Gate would not have been destroyed and reduced to such a sorry state . ”
“How is he going to appear? From the moment he jumped off the Emperor’s Road, the Azure Dragon King was already lost . If he appears, he will just end up getting humiliated and killed . Do you think Xiao Chen is still the Xiao Chen of the past?!”
“Hey, everyone knows that this is just an excuse . A mountain cannot contain two tigers . Even without Xiao Chen in the picture, the Blood Clad Sect would still attack the Dragon’s Gate . If anyone is to blame, it’s the Dragon’s Gate for being too lenient, not eliminating this potential danger early on . ”
Xiao Chen raised his winecup and drained it in one go, remaining silent .
It was like the cultivators in the restaurant said: by doing this, the Blood Clad Sect was clearly forcing Xiao Chen to show himself . This method was truly shameless, but it had to be said that this method was rather effective .
After leaving money on the table as payment, Xiao Chen got up and turned around to leave . Just at this moment, he heard another piece of information .
“I heard that the Holy Daughter Yue Bingyun issued a Hero’s Invitation today, inviting the Heavenly Starry Ocean’s outstanding talents to head to Western Dragon City to rescue Dragon’s Gate’s people . ”
“Yue Bingyun is truly worthy of the Holy Daughter title . She is indeed loyal to her friends . Rumor has it that she knelt before the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master for seven days and seven nights for the sake of getting the Lunar Palace to make a move . However, for some reason, the Bright Moon Empress still did not agree . ”
“The Blood Clad Sect is now a large faction . Even the Bright Moon Empress had no choice but to evaluate the situation carefully . However, logically speaking, the Lunar Palace should not fear the Blood Clad Sect . Perhaps there are circumstances that others are not aware of . ”
“Who knows? In any case, the Lunar Palace did not make a move . Hence, Yue Bingyun has no other choice but to use her own influence to send out a Hero’s Invitation . I wonder how effective it will be . ”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment . After a short pause, he shook his head and still left in the end .
Half a month . He had only half a month left . From here on, he could not stop for even a moment .
After sending Jiang Tian a message, Xiao Chen rented a courtyard in the city .
---
It was now late at night . The moon was like a silver disk hanging high in the sky .
Xiao Chen sat on a stone platform under a towering tree in the courtyard . He took out the Universe Origin Fruit that he had not had a chance to use yet .
This was the Dao Fruit that even Immortals would seek out during the Immortal Epoch, a priceless treasure .
According to legend, after one consumed and refined this fruit, one’s cultivation would increase by one thousand years, directly reaching Prime .
However, Xiao Chen did not believe this .
Reaching Prime was not as simple as just increasing one’s cultivation . It was a kind of breakthrough, surpassing the limits of a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor . However, the rules of the Heavenly Dao of this abandoned land obstructed them, preventing them from improving further .
Primes were already clearly no longer Martial Emperors but still fell within the boundaries of Martial Emperors . It was a cultivation realm that was filled with pain and contradictions .
However, Xiao Chen now clung to the hope that this rumor was true . If he could advance to Prime just by consuming the Universe Origin Fruit, he would not have to fear the Blood Clad Sect at all .
He opened his palm with some anticipation . Then, he refined the Universe Origin Fruit into a golden liquid filled with Spiritual Energy before swallowing it .
After the Universe Origin Fruit was refined into a liquid, it was like fresh spring water, devoid of any strange taste .
A moment later, the liquified Universe Origin Fruit permeated into all his internal organs, limbs, and bones .
A strange feeling pervaded Xiao Chen’s entire body . Before he could react, light suddenly shot out of his body, emitting vast Immortal Qi .
Xiao Chen’s body became like an instrument giving off Immortal music inaudible in the mortal world . The music contained the sound of the Great Dao .
The towering tree behind him was like a fairy, waving and dancing to the music .
The entire courtyard instantly came to life . Amid this ethereal Immortal music, it became filled with Spiritual Energy and danced along to the music .
Such a strange change caught Xiao Chen off guard . He had consumed many natural treasures before . However, there had never been one that could produce such a profound mysterious phenomenon .
The Immortal music did not require one to listen on purpose . It was like the sound of the Great Dao playing beside the ear, like one heard the supreme Great Dao itself .
The Cycle Heart aside, the will of ice, the Innate Thunder Crystal, and the Saber Energy in the sea of consciousness grew restless, incredibly agitated by this Immortal music .
Dao!
Xiao Chen was startled to his senses . The Universe Origin Fruit was indeed as he expected—it was a fruit for attaining the Dao .
It was allowing him to choose which Dao to obtain: the Thunder Dao, the Ice Dao, or the Saber Dao .
Unfortunately, the Cycle Dao seemed too strong . Even the Universe Origin Fruit could not move it .
Given that pursuit of the Cycle Dao was not an option, of the three Great Dao, Xiao Chen naturally chose the Saber Dao without hesitation .
With a thought, the Saber Energy in his sea of consciousness flourished with great brilliance, overshadowing the lights of the will of ice and the Innate Thunder Crystal .
The initially somewhat discordant Immortal music changed tunes, turning into one single pure melody .
All the spiritual liquid refined from the Universe Origin Fruit turned into music notes entering the sea of consciousness . His cultivation in the way of the saber greedily absorbed this Great Dao music, slowly growing stronger .
The number of spots of Saber Energy in his sea of consciousness multiplied, more than a hundred times faster than when he cultivated Saber Energy himself .
Xiao Chen’s mind turned clear . His understanding of Saber Techniques expanded as if he had opened a large door .
All sorts of wondrous thoughts poured in, enlightening him . Such a feeling was indescribable .
Three days . It took a total of three days for him to fully absorb the Universe Origin Fruit .
Now, a hundred spots of Saber Energy gathered in his sea of consciousness . Then, they formed a complete Great Dao .
The Saber Great Dao that Qing Yun, the Item Spirit of the Saber Medallion, mentioned was comprehended by Xiao Chen like this . When Pan Huang comprehended the Saber Great Dao, he was already a hundred years old . Xiao Chen was only thirty-five years old now . By the Kunlun Realm’s standards, he was genuinely a junior .
There was none before and none after this that could comprehend the complete Saber Dao before the age of hundred as a result of a fortuitous encounter .
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and muttered, “Dao!” The Great Dao Energy behind him turned into a faint disk of light as it appeared .
“Ka ca!”
At this moment, the sabers of more than ten thousand bladesmen in Starry Universe City felt an invisible pressure and shattered at the same time .
“What’s going on?”
The bladesmen were all flustered, afraid .
