Chapter 1772 (Raw 1784): Returning to the Grave Sea

After just passing by in an instant, then giving chase for an entire night, the results turned out to be unexpected .

Xiao Chen could not help feeling somewhat disappointed as he stood outside the city walls .

However, aside from disappointment, there was also a trace of joy . Right now, his emotions were very complicated .

Whether that person was Liu Ruyue or not, this was actually a good thing for Xiao Chen .

Before coming to Soaring Dragon City, Xiao Chen did not have any news about Liu Ruyue at all .

After arriving, Xiao Chen came to know that Liu Ruyue was doing well and was now one of the strongest outstanding talents of the Dragon Race .

Her path had been far easier than his .

This was already sufficient for Xiao Chen .

More importantly, Xiao Chen knew that Liu Ruyue’s heart had not changed, not responding even to the Dragon God Crown Prince’s pursuit .

I am still not strong enough .

Someday, I will personally step onto the Dragon Race’s land and meet Liu Ruyue .

The temporary disappointment did not deal too huge a blow to Xiao Chen .

Three days later, Xiao Chen boarded a huge astral liner heading back to the Grave Sea .

After flying for one month, he returned to the Purple Flame Sect in the Grave Sea .

Xiao Chen still had many things to deal with in the Grave Sea .

He needed to meet with his little martial nephew, Ling Yu, make a formal departure from the Purple Flame Sect, and find his pirate ship to see if they made any headway with the treasure that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King left behind .

That treasure was one of the things that Xiao Chen was counting on to help him rise up . He had never forgotten about it .  

If he could find the treasure trove of the legendary Scarlet Blood Pirate King, that astronomical opportunity would be greater than any before it .

At the foot of the Purple Flame Sect’s main peak, Xiao Chen handed over his identity token .

When the disciple guarding the place took a look, he immediately revealed an excited expression and said, “Senior Brother Xiao Chen, you are finally back . ”

One year ago, Xiao Chen had fought huge battles all over the Fiendish Demon Battlefield .

He had led the Purple Flame Sect disciples in making a great harvest in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, one that surpassed the haul of all the other Rank 4 sects .  

Most importantly, Xiao Chen had firmly suppressed the Divine Firmament Sect, which was at odds with the Purple Flame Sect .

He had defeated the previously undefeatable Shangguan Lei, dealing a significant hit to the Divine Firmament Sect’s reputation, which the sect had yet to recover from .

Although this was just a short stay for Xiao Chen, he had already become a legendary character of the Purple Flame Sect .

Xiao Chen left a deep impression, one that would not be easily forgotten .

After Xiao Chen’s identity was verified, several people came quickly when they heard the news .

Many people came to greet Xiao Chen . Even administrators, protectors, and Elder-level people made a personal appearance .

When these people noticed Xiao Chen’s aura, they all found it incredible .

In just slightly more than a year, his cultivation actually reached peak Major Primal Core Realm .

More importantly, Xiao Chen gave off a feeling like that of a dormant volcano .

Under the calm exterior was a very horrifying power .

Once Xiao Chen erupted, he would be able to defeat experts . This was what the instincts of the experts told them .

Xiao Chen smiled and reciprocated all of their greetings, not putting on airs as he made his way to Ling Yu’s courtyard .

He only managed to reach Ling Yu’s courtyard after a long time .

Ling Yu is not around?

Xiao Chen felt slightly surprised . If Ling Yu was not around, that was too unfortunate .

He had come back to the Purple Flame Sect to say his goodbyes, mostly to Ling Yu, his martial nephew .

After leaving the Purple Flame Sect, he would not return to the Purple Flame Sect for a very long time .

“Junior Brother Xiao . ”

Just at this moment, Xiao Chen heard a familiar voice . He turned his head and saw that it was the strongest true inheritor of the Purple Flame Sect, Hua Yunfeng .

“Senior Brother Hua, it has been a long time . Congratulations . ”

Hua Yunfeng had successfully broken through his bottleneck and advanced to the Starry Sky Stage Cloud Sea Realm during the period he and Xiao Chen had not met .

This was not too strange . When Xiao Chen first came to the Purple Flame Sect, the other party had been in the Major Primal Core Realm for some time already .

Furthermore, Hua Yunfeng was actually much older than Xiao Chen .

Hua Yunfeng said humbly, “Many thanks . I happened to be discussing something with the Sect Master . When I heard that you returned, I immediately rushed over . ”

“What were you discussing?” Xiao Chen asked casually .

Hua Yunfeng revealed a melancholic expression . After a moment’s silence, he said, “I want to leave the Purple Flame Sect and go to the Central Great Realm . I think I still can give it a try . ”

Xiao Chen expressed his understanding and asked, “What did the Sect Master say?”

Hua Yunfeng sighed softly and replied, “Sect Master thinks very highly of me and hopes that I will not leave . Within a hundred years, he will definitely hand over the position of Sect Master to me . ”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “The Sect Master has kind intentions . Right now, the Purple Flame Sect has just regained some of its momentum and needs to rise up stably . You are experienced and knowledgeable without losing your sharpness . You are indeed a good candidate to be the next Sect Master . ”

Hua Yunfeng smiled bitterly as he looked at Xiao Chen . “Many years ago, I never had any thoughts of going to the Central Great Realm . Would you believe it if I said that it is all because of you?”

Finding this strange, Xiao Chen asked, “Because of me?”

“That’s right . I see a kind of perseverance in you . I think back to when you just arrived at the Purple Flame Sect . At that time, your cultivation was so much lower than mine . However, I never saw you give up and abandon yourself to despair . This was especially so at Thunder Controlling Peak . The courage you displayed when you faced Shangguan Lei made me feel ashamed of myself . ”

Hua Yunfeng seemed to have bottled these words up in his heart for a long time . Now that he had said them, he felt more at ease .

When Xiao Chen heard this, he said seriously, “You are overthinking . I am not as simple as you think I am . I have experienced many more things than you can imagine . My accomplishments today are not the result of just a few years of effort . You have no idea of my previous accumulations . ”

Xiao Chen could rise so quickly in the Great Thousand Realms because of his experiences in an abandoned land .

He had weathered life-and-death situations in the Sky Dome Realm and the Kunlun Realm many times, so many that they were uncountable .

The grand events that he had experienced were even more numerous . He had stubbornly survived the many waves of deadly calamities .

Others only saw Xiao Chen’s rapid rise in the Purple Flame Sect and his current glory .

However, no one knew about the hardships that he had gone through in the Kunlun Realm, which brought about his current mental state and perseverance .

Hence, Xiao Chen did not approve of Hua Yunfeng leaving the Purple Flame Sect to go to the Central Great Realm to try his luck .

Xiao Chen looked at Hua Yunfeng and said, “Don’t change yourself because of others . Just think about it carefully . Do not be rash in making this decision . ”

Hua Yunfeng remained silent for a long time . Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen gave him such a piece of advice . He originally thought that Xiao Chen would definitely support his decision .

“Thank you for your advice . I will think about it carefully . Oh, yes, you are looking for Ling Yu, right? He is bitterly cultivating in our sect’s Purgatory Peak . This fellow is like a completely different person since returning from Soaring Dragon City . ”

Hua Yunfeng smiled carefreely, taking this rather easily . After chatting with Xiao Chen for a while, he took his leave .

Purgatory Peak?

Xiao Chen recalled that this was a manmade, treacherous area in the Purple Flame Sect . Cultivating there would be several times faster than outside .

However, the pain, torture, and danger one would have to endure would increase, as well .

Since this peak was established, few disciples chose to enter it .

The process was much too painful . Many experts in the sect could not last for long there .

The pain and torture were hard to endure .

Only people with great determination could persevere there .

Geniuses like Ling Yu actually did not need to enter that place to cultivate . Their cultivation speed would not be much slower .

As the sun set, Xiao Chen sat in the yard and enjoyed tea .

The remaining light of the setting sun descended as a person covered in injuries walked in from outside, clearly fatigued .

This person’s clothes were dyed in blood . That youthful face had a few new and scary wounds on it .

Xiao Chen looked up and found it hard to recognize this person, who was actually Ling Yu .

“Martial Uncle!”

When Ling Yu saw Xiao Chen in the yard, he was in disbelief . After a moment, he rejoiced and rushed over .

However, this aggravated Ling Yu’s injuries . He cried out in pain, making others unable to restrain a smile .

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly . “Why don’t you recover from your injuries first? Come in and rest . I have some Medicinal Pills here; use them . ”

Ling Yu refused, “I can’t . According to the sect’s Supreme Elder, if I heal my injuries, my bitter cultivation will be in vain . I need to properly comprehend all the pain I suffered and comprehend the essence of Purgatory Peak . ”

Xiao Chen felt stunned on hearing this . “Are you really choosing the path of bitter cultivation?”

Ling Yu nodded seriously . “I do not come from a good family . I also lack Martial Uncle’s mental state and comprehension ability . Aside from bitter cultivation, I have no other option . ”

“Why the need? Even if you do not choose bitter cultivation, you will still shake up the Grave Sea in the future, becoming an overlord-level character within the nearby dozens of astral clusters . ”

Ling Yu shook his head and said, “That’s not enough . Martial Uncle, you do not know . The headliner Ling Long promised to give me five years . She will wait for me for five years . Five years later, I am to go to the Yanwu Dynasty’s capital to find her . ”

Seeing Ling Yu’s determined expression, Xiao Chen sighed . He saw a lot of himself in Ling Yu .

Since Ling Yu could do this, why not Xiao Chen?
