Chapter 1565 (Raw 1547): Loath to Part

“You are leaving already?” the old Dragon Horse said first, guessing Xiao Chen’s intent.

Xiao Chen nodded. He had already done everything that he should, met everyone that he should.

Now, he needed to leave the Kunlun Realm.

Be it to seek out Liu Ruyue or climb a higher peak of the Martial Dao, he needed to leave this abandoned land.

The old Dragon Horse and the other Item Spirits were not surprised. However, there were still some instructions that they needed to give Xiao Chen.

Hong Xue took out a spatial ring. Xiao Chen accepted it and took a look with his Spiritual Sense. He discovered it had pieces of transparent crystals flickering with blue light.

This crystal seemed to contain an energy that was similar to Primordial Energy but denser and purer.

“What is this?” Xiao Chen asked after withdrawing his Spiritual Sense. Then, he looked at Hong Xue and said, “I seem to sense something like Primordial Energy but much purer.”

Hong Xue explained, “This is Spirit Jade, a natural ore in the outer realm. This is what cultivators use for transactions. The so-called Primordial Energy of the Kunlun Realm is actually the natural Spiritual Energy of the outer realm.

“When cultivators have reached the Transcending Mortality Realm, they can absorb the Spiritual Energy. Spirit Jade forms underground. It takes several hundred years—thousands, and even tens of thousands—to produce a Spirit Jade ore vein. After accumulating for such a long time, the Spiritual Energy contained in the Spirit Jade, naturally, is purer than the Spiritual Energy moving about in the world.”

The old Dragon Horse continued, “There are about two million pieces of Spirit Jade in this ring. As the Azure Dragon bloodline is in decline, I can give only this much to you. The remainder is needed for the maintenance of the Azure Dragon Palace.”

Xiao Chen put away the ring and voiced his gratitude, “Big Brother Dragon, you are too polite.”

In reality, the old Dragon Horse was indeed being too polite. Xiao Chen would know how precious Spirit Jades were only after he left. Furthermore, what the old Dragon Horse gave him were all Spirit Jades of high quality.

The azure-clad man stepped forward and handed Xiao Chen an ancient book. “This is the Book of the Epochs. Many sects give this to their disciples on entry. Keep it properly. It provides a rough introduction of the various matters of the Martial Epoch like what cultivation realms come after the Veritable Personage Realm, the many schools of thought in the Martial Epoch, and the larger factions and sects. This book records all of it.

Xiao Chen accepted the book and casually flipped through a few pages. He discovered that it was a simplified encyclopedia.

Although it was not some secret canon, it was the most suitable for the current Xiao Chen. At the very least, he would not be completely ignorant when he left the Kunlun Realm.

Following that, the other Item Spirits took out some rather precious personal items, giving them to Xiao Chen.

These were mostly Profound Tools for protecting one’s life. They could save Xiao Chen at a crucial moment.

Finally, the old Dragon Horse handed a jade pendant to Xiao Chen, telling him to wear it. As the jade pendant lay on his chest, a cooling aura flowed out continuously from it into Xiao Chen’s body.

Xiao Chen immediately felt much more spirited, and his aura became significantly subdued.

The obverse of the jade pendant had a serene ancient Buddha sitting on a lotus flower platform. Its reverse had the words “Pure Mind” carved on it.

“This was originally a Buddhist amulet. Later, someone refined it into jade. Although its shape changed, its effect did not. It can calm the mind and sober one up. Of course, the most important function is to withdraw aura. It can lower the aura of the black lotus mark to the minimum.”

The old Dragon Horse had truly expended a lot of effort. In reality, it was the one who refined the Buddhist amulet into jade, strengthening its effect of withdrawing aura, to help Xiao Chen and suppress the black lotus mark.

“However, you must remember that this jade pendant cannot completely suppress the black lotus mark. You still have to be very careful.”

Xiao Chen felt the old Dragon Horse’s concern. He seriously expressed his gratitude. This pendant helped resolve his greatest hidden danger.

Whenever Xiao Chen thought about what the Thunder Sovereign said before dying, he could not feel truly at ease about leaving the Kunlun Realm.

It would be too much of an injustice if he just got out and was immediately surrounded by the Black Lotus Church.

“I have a question for Big Brother Dragon. Where is the White Dragon Race?” Xiao Chen did not forget about his greatest purpose in coming to the Azure Dragon Palace this time.

The old Dragon Horse replied, “That’s simple. You just have to ask around, and you will find out. However, I believe that the person you are looking for is not in the White Dragon Race’s land. To pay such a huge price to pull out your friend from the abandoned land, there can be only one reason: your friend’s bloodline is very special and is filled with great potential.

“Such a genius would normally be in Ancestor Dragon City, where the demonic geniuses of the various Dragon Race bloodlines gather. That is the place with the most resources and the greatest competition.”

Ancestor Dragon City, Xiao Chen repeated in his mind.

Liu Ruyue was very likely in this Ancestor Dragon City.

As for where Ancestor Dragon City was, Xiao Chen did not ask further. He did not know a thing about the outer realm. Even if the old Dragon Horse answered, he would not understand. Now that he knew the name, he could simply ask around himself in the future.

“Seniors, Xiao Chen will be taking his leave. I’ll leave the Kunlun Realm’s Dragon’s Gate to all of you,” Xiao Chen said as he performed a cupped-fist salute when he reached the doors of the palace.

The old Dragon Horse smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I think that lass Mo Chen will be qualified to push these palace doors open soon. The revitalization of the Dragon’s Gate will be faster than you imagine.”

“Take care on your journey.”

The group sent off Xiao Chen with their eyes. However, their hearts were filled with sighs. Xiao Chen carried all of their hopes.

As long as Xiao Chen became the Dragon Emperor, the Azure Dragon Race would be truly revitalized. However, in order to become the Dragon Emperor, he needed to face not only the various demonic geniuses and talents of the Dragon Race but also the other Great Desolate Hundred Races and the inheritors of ancient Holy Lands.

Such competition was even greater than in the Kunlun Realm.

Once Xiao Chen left this Kunlun Realm, he would face the entire Martial Epoch. Amid the Great Thousand Realms, this abandoned land was not even a drop in the ocean.

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Ying Zongtian, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, and the other Primes and Sovereign Martial Emperors of the Kunlun Realm, as well as Xiao Chen’s good friends who had all heard that Xiao Chen would be attempting the Kunlun Road had long been waiting already to send him off.

“Look, the Azure Dragon King is here!”

As the sun set, a white figure flew towards the foot of the mountain very quickly. It was Xiao Chen, who had just left the Azure Dragon Palace.

“Little Brother Xiao Chen, this Kunlun Road is also known as the Road to Death. It has been tens of thousands of years since anyone of the Kunlun Realm dared to attempt it. Now, it all depends on you,” Ying Zongtian said, glancing at the crowd around before turning his head to look at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen took out a jade strip and handed it to Ying Zongtian. “There is a strand of my will in this jade pendant that possesses a tenth of my strength. If I die, the jade strip will shatter. If I do not die, the will in the jade strip will grow stronger along with my true body.”

Ying Zongtian put it away and said, “Take care on your journey. I hope that you will be able to make a trip back while I’m still alive and tell me what the outer realm is like.”

Xiao Chen replied seriously, “I definitely will!”

After some simple exchanges with the people he was familiar with, Xiao Chen stepped onto the Kunlun Road alone, heading for an unknown world.

As the Heaven Punishing Corpse God looked at Xiao Chen’s back, he muttered, “I wonder if he can succeed. This is the Kunlun Road, after all.”

The Kunlun Road had many legends. No matter how strong Xiao Chen was, everyone still worried for him.

The Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master said, “Don’t worry. Xiao Chen will find his Kunlun Road much easier than we expect. His strength has been suppressed all the while. When he arrives at the Kunlun Road, he will no longer have to suppress it.”

When everyone heard this, they were all startled. Right now, Xiao Chen’s strength was already remarkably horrifying.

Unexpectedly, this was still not Xiao Chen’s limits.

On the mountain road, before Xiao Chen entered the clouds, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Bai, Mo Chen, Shui Lingling, and Yue Bingyun.

“Sorry, despite being able to have some free time after much difficulty, I have to leave alone again.”

Xiao Chen was not a heartless person. Xiao Bai had followed Xiao Chen for many years already, and they shared a deep affection for each other. Shui Lingling was the person who had cared the most for him when he arrived in the Kunlun Realm. Mo Chen had single-handedly rebuilt the Dragon’s Gate, the person who helped him the most. Yue Bingyue had gone through perilous times with him, a confidant made through life and death.

He could not bear to part with any of them. He swore in his heart that he would eventually return to the Kunlun Realm.

Not for himself but for these people he could not bear to part with.
