Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1877

Chapter 1877: 1877

This was where Jiang Chen fully resembled Jiang Feng . Thus, instead of reprimanding his son, Jiang Feng approved of his actions .

“I hear that your cultivation has reached great heights, brother . Shall we spar to check your progress?”

Xu Qingxuan always loved to fight with Jiang Chen, even though she knew it wasn’t a reasonable request . She couldn’t rival her brother at all . However, she couldn’t help playing with him .

Jiang Chen smiled and turned to her . “You’re my little sister . Why should we fight? I wouldn’t defeat you even if I could . ”

Xu Qingxuan huffed . “I don’t want you to let me win . ”

Jiang Feng chuckled . “Stop that, Qingxuan . Emperor Coiling Dragon just told me that your brother has reached fifth level empyrean and is going to break through to the next level soon . No human cultivator can rival him . Aside from you, not even the heads of your Moon God Sect measure up to him . ”

Xu Qingxuan pulled a long face . She knew her father was right .

Jiang Chen laughed . “How can the sect heads compare to my sister? Qingxuan is much more talented than they are . Maybe my little sister will ascend to empyrean in a year or two . ”

Xu Qingxuan perked up, her eyes shining brightly as they fixed on Jiang Chen . “Brother, I hear that you have something called the Taiyi Skymender Pill, that it can boost the success rate of ascending to empyrean to ninety percent for peak great emperors . ”

“I do have such a pill . ” Jiang Chen chuckled .

“Do I get a share?” Her eyes shone with vibrant light .

“What do you think? You’re my little sister . I’m not going to give other people the pills if you aren’t going to get one . ” Jiang Chen laughed . “Don’t worry . I set aside the best things I have for you . Remember, Qingxuan, we are family . I always keep you in mind . ”

Xu Qingxuan pouted and turned away, her eyes reddening . She wasn’t going to let Jiang Chen see it, of course . A warm feeling wrapped itself around her heart .

She had to admit she was happier in Veluriyam Capital than she was in the Moon God Sect . Though she cultivated with her master day and night, she still wasn’t at ease with her master . Her master was too strict, almost to the point of being harsh .  

Now, in Sacred Peafowl Mountain, she still cultivated as hard as ever, but no one was there to demand anything from her . But not only hadn’t her progress been hindered, she improved even faster .

That was largely thanks to the cultivation regime her brother had designed for her, and the resources he’d given her .

Over time, Xu Qingxuan had started to see Sacred Peafowl Mountain as her home . Staying by her parents’ side, she could both take care of them and cultivate more efficiently . Even though sometimes she did miss the Moon God Sect and her master, she was no longer willing to leave the mountain and her parents behind .

She felt welcome here, not because of intentional hospitality, but because of the warm atmosphere created by everyone and everything around her . She yearned for that warmth .

Her brother was especially crucial to making her feel welcome . Although she often like to be minorly at odds with him, he showed her great care and tolerance .

Xu Qingxuan couldn’t fully turn away from the comforting sense of belonging .

……

Jiang Chen spent the next two days with Huang’er, Dan Fei, and his daughter . He also took time to check on Gouyu, Xue Tong and the others . He was pleased to see their great progress .

Jiang Chen had brought them here from the Eastern Kingdom . They were his earliest followers and had remained loyal all this time . He was naturally going to repay them for their devotion .

Ye Chonglou and other old friends had also settled down in Veluriyam Capital instead of returning to the Precious Tree Sect .

In addition, Jiang Chen’s underlings, including Lin Yanyu and Pill King Bu, were doing very well in the capital . They hadn’t disappointed him .

Jiang Chen tried his best to visit everyone, to be updated on their current situation . Afterwards, he returned to the Six Palaces of Heritage to take on the fourth and fifth palaces .

According to the rules, the fourth palace required initial empyrean realm, or half-step empyrean at a minimum . And the fifth palace, intermediate empyrean .

Jiang Chen was about to ascend to sixth level empyrean . He’d long since reached intermediate empyrean and was more than qualified to take on both the fourth and the fifth palaces . He planned to do if the circumstances allowed it .

The sixth palace was the only one that was beyond his current ability .

He’d waited until now because he’d been otherwise preoccupied in Myriad Abyss . He’d never let anyone in on the secret of the Six Palaces of Heritage, except for what little he told the Vermilion Bird and Long Xiaoxuan .

Jiang Chen entered a secret chamber and activated his spacetime seal . Not only would it teleport him into the Six Palaces, it would discern which palace he should enter .

As he expected, he was sent to the fourth palace .

As soon as he opened his eyes, he could tell it was different from the three previous palaces . Every palace had their own unique features .

The atmosphere in the fourth palace was distinct . The air was turbulent and troubled like roiling clouds . There was an edge of insanity to the way it moved . Jiang Chen kept his guard up . He had a strong feeling that he was going to experience something here he’d never come across before .

He remained composed . He wasn’t who he’d been since he last came .

If he was at half-step empyrean, he would’ve been more cautious, but his cultivation level met the fifth palace’s requirements and far exceeded that of the fourth’s . That gave him a sense of security, allowing him to be as calm as a still lake .

That didn’t mean that he would get careless . On the contrary, he expanded his senses to take in every minute change in the air . The unhinged energy was still there, and seemed to be growing more and more intense over time .
