Chapter 1884 (Raw 1895): The Same Journey but Different Paths
Early in the morning:
After Tang Dan’s group made some simple preparations, they mounted Savage Beasts and continued traveling through the desert .
Savage Beasts were large beasts with a Fiendish Demon bloodline . They moved very quickly in the desert .
If a Savage Beast stored up power, it could even fly in short, explosive bursts, moving several times faster than a fired arrow .
Savage Beasts were much better than any war chariot or ship .
The group traveled silently, not saying much .
As for Xiao Chen, he shared a Savage Beast with Tang Dan . The Savage Beast’s back was very broad . If he was not afraid of slipping and falling, he could even sit cross-legged without any problem .
Since Xiao Chen already woke up, the eyes of the others occasionally shifted to him; they all felt exceptionally curious .
To them, this white-clad bladesman who had lain beside the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox was quite mysterious .
Tang Dan did not say much about Xiao Chen, making the rest even more curious .
Deng Yun, who traveled beside Tang Dan, occasionally looked at Xiao Chen, feeling slightly upset .
He had learned last night that Xiao Chen had killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox . However, he did not quite believe it .
Nevertheless, the Beast Core ended up in Deng Yun’s hands .
Deng Yun felt that he had to thank his Senior Sister Tang properly . He had to remember this debt of gratitude and repay it when he broke through to Holy Venerate in the future .
Given this thought, Deng Yun let it go . There was no need to get into a conflict with Xiao Chen .
Of course, no matter what Deng Yun thought, Xiao Chen could not be bothered . Xiao Chen just closed his eyes and rested on the Savage Beast’s back, anxiously recuperating from his injuries .
He needed to return his combat prowess to its peak quickly .
Xiao Chen’s battle with the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox allowed him to realize that he was still insufficient in many areas .
His Movement Technique was still not fast enough .
He had to refine the Thunder Dragon Steps, improving it further .
Ultimately, Xiao Chen’s ken was too low . After entering the Heavenly Dragon Palace, he would see if he could take reference from some Movement Techniques to refine the Thunder Dragon Steps .
When the sun set, a red hue covered the sky . It was so boundless that the setting sun looked like a sea of fire .
This beautiful scene of the desert inspired one to be carefree and relaxed .
In one day, the Savage Beasts they rode on traveled four million kilometers . A cultivator would take at least three days to do the same—at a great drain .
After traveling like that through day and night, the group finally left the desert three days later .
The group arrived at a majestic city at the edge of the desert .
Possibly due to the Dragon Race’s nature, the buildings in the Dragon Race’s city were extremely large, even larger than those in the Yanwu Dynasty’s cities .
After Tang Dan identified herself, the group quickly entered the city .
Only after entering would one truly be in the Divine Dragon Empire .
In the streets—both large and small—be it the ordinary people or the cultivators moving about, they were all people with some degree of the Dragon Race bloodline .
Due to his bloodline, Xiao Chen felt an ineffable warmth as he walked around the city .
It was like a wanderer returning home . Xiao Chen had already been in the Great Thousand Realms for four years or so . However, this was the first time he felt this way .
After checking into an inn, Tang Dan left some simple instructions before leaving in a rush .
The group rested in this place, ordering some food and wine .
As Xiao Chen sat there, eating and drinking, the others asked him questions, casually chatting a little .
They had spent the past few days rushing on their way, so they had not had the chance to ask Xiao Chen much .
Now that there was a rare moment of rest, the Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples traveling with Xiao Chen asked him the questions that had been nagging them .
“Xiao Chen, did you really kill that Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?”
This was the question that bugged the others the most .
Xiao Chen nodded and said, “You can put it that way . However, it is not due to my personal strength . There was some luck involved . ”
Xiao Chen did not want to shock this group of people too much, so when the others continued asking, he only “explained” a little .
“No wonder . I was wondering how you could possibly kill the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox . ”
“However, that is still difficult . Even if luck was involved, your strength goes without question . You must be quite strong . ”
“Right . Even with the best luck, it would be pointless without strength . ”
Such an explanation was rather acceptable, so the others did not continue asking .
Deng Yun showed a slightly uncomfortable expression, feeling awkward .
Logically speaking, the Beast Core belonged to whoever killed the ferocious beast . At this moment, the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core was in Deng Yun’s hands .
Deng Yun did not know that Xiao Chen had taken the initiative to hand the Beast Core over .
“You really killed that Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?” Deng Yun asked Xiao Chen with a stern expression and a sullen tone .
“Although there is some luck involved, I did indeed kill it . ”
Xiao Chen did not understand why Deng Yun brought this up again, but he still repeated his answer from before .
The atmosphere seemed somewhat off . Just when everyone thought that something would happen, Deng Yun took a swig of his drink in sorrow and took out a small brocade box . Then, he placed it on the table and said, “I’m returning this . Even without this Beast Core, I can still break through to Holy Venerate . ”
Xiao Chen felt surprised . He said calmly, “Take it . I have already handed over everything of the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox to you all . After Tang Dan returns, she will explain it to you . This is a fair deal . ”
“Deal?” Deng Yun gave Xiao Chen a strange look, not understanding what was happening .
Xiao Chen did not explain much as Tang Dan already appeared at the door .
Come with me .
Tang Dan’s voice projection rang out beside Xiao Chen’s ears . Then, he put down his wine cup and went off directly, leaving behind the stunned group .
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Tang Dan led Xiao Chen around the city for a while before finally stopping at a desolate alley .
“My clan has some accumulations and power in the Divine Dragon Empire . Hence, I have some channels that specialize in transacting information in secret or creating false identities . ”
Tang Dan looked at Xiao Chen and said, “I’ve already used my clan’s connections to create an identity for you . Thirty years ago, there was an average-sized Xiao Clan in the north that was wiped out by the Underground Demons . Right now, your identity is that of the sole child of that Xiao Clan that managed to escape . This is the jade pendant of your clan, keep it properly . ”
Xiao Chen received the jade pendant, somewhat impressed at Tang Dan’s efficiency in managing this . It seems that she has an impressive family background .
“The jade pendant is real . This is that Xiao Clan’s information . You can take a look . ”
“Many thanks . ”
With this identity, it would be much more convenient for Xiao Chen to do things later .
In order to become an inner sect disciple, he would have to stand out, attracting attention . It would be too difficult to avoid investigation . If anything went wrong and problems appeared, preventing him from entering Ancestor Dragon City, he would have come here for nothing .
“You’re welcome . I can tell that you are very confident of standing out and gaining the qualifications to enter the inner sect . However, I want to remind you not to get careless . People like Deng Yun and me are only barely above the bottom feeders . We are not considered strong . ”
Xiao Chen felt slightly surprised . Originally, he was about to leave, but he stopped and asked, “What do you mean?”
Tang Dan gave Xiao Chen a deep look before continuing, “There are the core disciples above the inner palace disciples . Those that can become core disciples are all Holy Venerates . Furthermore, they are not the strongest of the Heavenly Dragon Palace . Above the core disciples are the even-stronger heaven-class core disciples .
“The Heavenly Dragon Palace is not as weak as you think it to be . As an independent palace, rivaling a peak Rank 6 sect, it has been passed on for tens of thousands of years . It has its own accumulations and is very terrifying . Although it consists mostly of mixed-blood dragon bloodlines, there is a lot of competition . The many layers of selection mean that those that can climb to the top are not weak .
“The empire’s territory contains over a thousand counties . Among the mixed-blood bloodlines, there is no lack of clans that have produced a Heavenly Dragon . The resources that these people obtained since childhood might not be any less than that of the True Dragon bloodlines or the Divine Dragon bloodlines . They only chose to go to the Heavenly Dragon Palace because their bloodline prevented them from going to the other palaces .
“So, take care . ”
Xiao Chen pondered this for a while . If not for Tang Dan’s words, he might have gotten somewhat careless .
That was indeed something he should not do . After all, Jiang He was also a mixed-blood dragon cultivator .
“Many thanks for the reminder . It looks like I did not lose out at all in this deal . Goodbye . ” Xiao Chen gave his thanks as he performed a cupped-fist salute . Then, he smiled faintly and turned to leave .
When Tang Dan returned to the inn, her juniors surrounded her and asked about the deal .
Tang Dan felt somewhat helpless . After a while, she warned, “Don’t ask too much . That person is different from us . When we return to the Heavenly Dragon Palace, don’t say that you met him . Major things will definitely happen to him . It is best not to hang around him . ”
“This…”
These words stunned her juniors; they found this inconceivable . They had eaten and drunk with Xiao Chen but had not felt anything extraordinary about him .
Only Deng Yun felt a shiver in his soul when he remembered the events of the night when Xiao Chen opened his eyes .
Deng Yun believed Tang Dan’s words .
This Xiao Chen was indeed someone on a different path .
Xiao Chen and Tang Dan’s group both headed for the Heavenly Dragon Palace . They had the same journey but different paths .
The path that Xiao Chen was going to take was destined to be full of hurdles, layered with difficulty, and his chances of survival were low .
