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.
