Chapter 1400 (Raw 1391): Jadeite Relay Station

Unfortunately, before Ao Jiao woke up, Xiao Chen could not draw the Lunar Shadow Saber. He also did not know when it would happen. This Ao Jiao was always making others worry.

He shook his head, not wanting to think of something so frustrating. He stretched out his finger, and the Seven Deadly Sins all gave off a ringing sound as they returned to the back of the throne.

Now, the sky was completely dark. Xiao Chen sat on the throne and closed his eyes, starting to cultivate.

"Whoosh!"

Six beams of starlight descended from the sky, appearing like pillars as they entered the Cycle Throne. Astral Energy poured into Xiao Chen's body.

As he absorbed the Astral Energy, he converted it into cultivation. Originally, one could do this only after learning the secret methods of the Astral Palaces.

However, he now could do it as long as he sat on the throne. This was one of the wondrous uses of the throne: aiding cultivation.

Xiao Chen had never heard of anyone absorbing Astral Energy like this.

The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's ninth layer circulated quickly. After the strong Purple Thunder Divine Incantation reached the ninth layer, the speed at which it could absorb energy became even more terrifying.

If someone could see the invisible energy, he would discover that Xiao Chen's body was like a huge hole wildly sucking in countless strands of purple energy from the surroundings.

In Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor, the Astral Energy and the Spiritual Energy turned into rain after they entered, pouring down noisily.

The whirlpool formed by one thousand strands of Primordial Energy spread out and turned into a river. It looked like a dragon swimming and flying about in the vast Heart of an Emperor.

The dragon enjoyed the sweet rain as it greedily absorbed the downpour, not even letting a single drop off.

According to the rules of the Kunlun Realm, Ninth Heaven Martial Emperors could have only nine hundred strands of Primordial Energy. However, Xiao Chen already attained one thousand strands a year ago.

However, if one were to say that Xiao Chen's cultivation was equal to that of a Ninth Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor, that did not seem right. He felt that his current cultivation was only about Sixth Heaven Martial Emperor.

Also, his Primordial Energy was very different from the Primordial Energy of those Martial Emperors.

Actually, it was not difficult to explain. Firstly, Xiao Chen did not undergo any lightning tribulations. Secondly, he did not have a true Golden Emperor Body, nor had he pushed open the Emperor's Door to receive the baptism of the Heavenly Dao.

Xiao Chen's physical body only broke out of some of the Kunlun Realm's rules and fell under a different set of rules. There were both benefits and drawbacks.

Right now, Xiao Chen was in a rather awkward position. After his Primordial Energy reached one thousand strands, he could not increase it anymore.

It was like his cultivation hit a bottleneck. Furthermore, he did not know how to break this bottleneck. No one had walked the path that he took before.

Xiao Chen could only endure and continuously refine these one thousand strands of Primordial Energy, refining them over and over again until they could not be any purer.

Perhaps the answer could be found only in that mysterious Azure Dragon Palace.

Although it was difficult for Xiao Chen to improve his cultivation, his progress in the Saber Dao moved at its own pace, going increasingly further. Saying that the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian's comprehension of the Saber Dao could not measure up to Xiao Chen's would not be an exaggeration.

The main reason behind why Xiao Chen could instant-kill many Demonic World royal clan disciples was his accomplishments and comprehensions in the Saber Dao.

The sun rose and set multiple times. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. However, the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation completed only one great cycle.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and checked the sun in the sky; it looked piercing and dazzling. He spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi, and the Cycle Throne took on the war chariot form. The two mutated black flood dragons pulled the war chariot and carried him into the sky.

A beam of iridescent black light pierced through the boundary between the void and the world. In merely ten breaths, it tore through the barrier of the sky and arrived in the Starry Heavens.

Inside the war chariot, Xiao Chen took out the invitation that Wen Ziran gave him. Among the few words on it were "The Starry Heavens outside the domain, Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor."

Wen Ziran was holding the Saber Dao tea party in the Starry Heavens, probably because the participants this time possessed high cultivations. The original location, Heavenly Cauldron City, was no longer suitable. Otherwise, if a few Martial Emperors exchanged moves, they might accidentally destroy the entire city.

If it was held in the Starry Heavens, there would not be such concerns. The Starry Heavens was vast. They could fight however they wished without having to worry about any consequences.

Xiao Chen put away the invitation and casually opened a star chart to find the nearest starry heaven relay station. Then, he let the Cycle War Chariot run quickly in the boundless Starry Heavens.

Occasionally, there would be stars falling in the Starry Heavens, screeching as they flew. They moved very quickly. Regardless of their size, if a falling star accidentally crashed into one, one's ride could get destroyed; then, the unlucky person might die.

However, Xiao Chen did not have any fear. There was always saber Qi around the Cycle War Chariot. When any meteors or stars got near, they would instantly get chopped into so much dust.

When speaking of a starry heaven relay station, Xiao Chen could not help thinking of when he first entered a starry heaven relay station many years ago.

The master of that starry heaven relay station possessed a strong cultivation, unfathomable. Even with Xiao Chen's current strength, he might not be able to plumb the bottom line of that mysterious bladesman.

When he thought back on it, that mysterious master should be a senior bladesman. However, the Starry Heavens was incredibly vast. Without any coordinates and just relying on fate, Xiao Chen would find it very difficult to meet him again.

One hour later, the distant starry heaven relay station appeared in Xiao Chen's view.

He peered through the curtains. It was not a huge starry heaven relay station, just about half a city in size. Even so, the amount of Star Fixing Rock that it would require would be astronomical.

That much Star Fixing Rock would be beyond an ordinary person's reach. Only a large faction could acquire it.

This was the kind of starry heaven relay station that he needed, as such relay stations would normally have transportation formations. Those would be able to send him straight to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor, saving him the trouble of traveling.

The mutated flood dragons turned into rather ordinary black horses. They pulled the Cycle War Chariot and landed firmly in the starry heaven relay station.

Although this relay station was large, this was only in comparison to the other relay stations. If compared to the cities of the Kunlun Realm, it was very small.

One could see the entire relay station with just the naked eye.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Shortly after Xiao Chen landed, two cultivators from the relay station went to the window and asked him as they looked up, "Are you here to use this relay station's transportation formation?"

"That's right. I'm going to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor."

"This place can't send you direct to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor. You will have to travel through more than ten relay stations of various sizes before arriving at a large relay station that can send you to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor's transportation formation. Only such relay stations can do that."

"How many Essence Stones does it cost?"

"Three hundred Essence Stones will be enough. The starry heaven relay stations on this route all belong to the Phoenix's Passion Palace."

Xiao Chen extended his hand out of the window and dropped a spatial ring. The person who spoke earlier checked it and was stunned.

There was a total of six thousand Essence Stones in there, severalfold more than required. "Sir, did you make a mistake?"

"There is no mistake. This is twenty people's worth. You just need to send me alone in the transportation formation."

After Xiao Chen said that, the two horses pulled the war chariot into the transportation formation, leaving the two Phoenix's Passion Palace disciples exchanging glances behind him. This was their first time seeing someone so strange.

"Never mind. It does not matter since he gave sufficient Essence Stones."

"Recently, there have been many people going to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor. Even several older-generation bladesmen headed there."

"This is the first Saber Dao tea party of the golden age. Naturally, it will be extraordinary. Practically all the famous bladesmen are going. The new will replace the old. This time, there will be many older-generation bladesmen falling from their previous rankings."

"Unfortunately, I'm not a bladesman. Otherwise, I would go and join the excitement as well.

The two Phoenix's Passion Palace disciples chatted as they walked over, preparing to activate the transportation formation.

Inside the war chariot, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and waited calmly.

After a while, there was a flash of light, and the war chariot carrying Xiao Chen vanished, sent to the vicinity of the next starry heaven relay station. This happened more than ten times. After that, a large and extraordinarily bustling relay station appeared.

This relay station was almost the size of Meteor Trail City and had all sorts of buildings: inns, restaurants, herb stores, markets, and many more.

Of course, the transportation formation that Xiao Chen needed was there as well.

This relay station was oval-shaped. No matter where one landed, there would be a wide road leading to the transportation formation in the center.

The difference between the previous relay station that Xiao Chen came from and this large relay station was like mud and clouds, a huge disparity that made the previous one look insignificant.

Xiao Chen could see many mighty warships and chariots giving off Emperor's Might rushing to this relay station from all directions.

"The Jadeite Relay Station is right in front. It is one of the Kunlun Realm's ten great relay stations. You can head to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor from the transportation formation there."

Beside the Cycle War Chariot, the Phoenix's Passion Palace disciple carefully ushered Xiao Chen down.
