Chapter 1282: Reappearance of the Dragon's Gate

Xiao Chen stood up and bowed to all the honored guests. These friends had paid a huge price in order to rush here. They were all worthy of him bowing to them.

Ying Zongtian smiled faintly. None of the honored guests present stood on ceremony, either. They all revealed a smile and accepted Xiao Chen's bow.

"Let us all stand witness together to the reappearance of my Xiao Clan's Dragon's Gate!"

Xiao Chen showed a solemn expression and raised his hand. "Whoosh!" The azure-colored dragon flags covering the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet gently flew up layer by layer. The flags fluttered, and the embroidered Azure Dragons looked like they came to life.

The many layers of flags and Azure Dragons swimming around attracted everyone's gaze immediately.

"Boom!"

A strand of azure-colored Dragon Qi formed a pillar of light that soared into the sky. The Azure Dragons on the flags quickly swam around this radiant pillar.

Mo Chen took in a deep breath. She knew that now was the most exciting moment. A medallion appeared in her hand—the Heavenly Dragon Medallion that controlled the entire Heavenly Dragon City. Aside from the activation of the defensive formations of the city, it had many other functions as well. With the Heavenly Dragon Medallion, she could mingle with Martial Emperors within the city.

As Mo Chen formed hand seals with her right hand, the entire Heavenly Dragon City, which looked like a huge dragon coiled up, came to life and waved its tail.

The sound of dragon roars rang out again and again. The azure-colored Dragon Qi of the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet flashed in synchrony.

Formlessly, the Luck of the world headed for the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, gathering rapidly. Luck was ethereal and invisible. However, when Luck reached a certain density, there would be some signs of it.

The situation before everyone was one example. Layers of clouds churned in the sky, filling the area with clouds. They looked like a vast army charging relentlessly.

Amid flashes of lightning, ferocious dragon roars resounded endlessly.

"Indeed, the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony concluded successfully. All the Luck in the surroundings immediately pooled here."

"This Heavenly Dragon City possesses many tricks. I wonder who built it? The buildings within the city form one complete formation when combined with this Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet. This is incredible."

"Luck waxes and wanes. It looks like the Western Sea Dragon King's fall in the Western Sea is now inevitable."

The major characters present were very experienced. They all spoke up and expressed their opinions.

As Xiao Chen watched the Dragon Qi gather into a pillar of light charging into the sky, causing clouds to gather in the surroundings, he felt a lofty sentiment and an urge to laugh out loud. The Dragon's Gate, which was destroyed ten thousand years ago, finally obtained the recognition of the world today.

The Luck obtained would be passed down through the generations, the Dragon's Gate becoming immortal, a legend that endured.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just at this moment, huge waves suddenly shot into the sky in the sea regions around Heavenly Star Island in all directions, shaking the entire place intensely.

"What's going on?!"

Countless people exclaimed. Everyone could see the towering waves from ten kilometers away.

What ferocious beast was coming out from the bottom of the sea?!

Or was there someone still secretly trying to disrupt the Dragon's Gate's gathering of Luck.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Right now, the newly reestablished Dragon's Gate was using Heavenly Dragon City to gather Luck. The longer this continued, the more benefits it would obtain.

If something were to happen at this moment and the Dragon Qi was interrupted, it would not be good.

An abrupt end to this movement of Luck might even turn an auspicious thing into something ominous in a mere blink of an eye.

Everyone looked to the Supreme Sky Prime. He was the strongest person here. With him overseeing the place, who would dare to cause trouble?

Ying Zongtian smiled faintly and said, "There is no need to panic. This is a gift from the world. When great Luck gathers, it will cause Spirit Veins to spew out!"

Right after Ying Zongtian spoke, eight clumps made by spiritual light coalescing soared into the sky.

"Golden spiritual rain! These are Holy Spirit Veins!"

"The Dragon's Gate was just reestablished, and eight Holy Spirit Veins burst out of the sea. This is too coincidental!"

"It is not really coincidental. During ancient times, when a major character established a sect, there were even King Spirit Veins bursting out of the sea."

"It looks like the world has acknowledged the presence of the Dragon's Gate without reservation. Eight dragons gathering together are the congratulatory gift that the world sent."

"The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, he is indeed an outstanding talent truly deserving of having great Luck!"

Shocked cries rang out. Even Xiao Chen himself was somewhat surprised.

However, just at this moment, above where the pillar of light where the Dragon Qi gathered, a black cloud appeared suddenly and silently.

The black cloud looked very eye-catching amid the churning white clouds.

Xiao Chen's heart sank. It felt like someone was causing trouble covertly, so he placed his right hand on the saber hilt and was about to make a move.

"Don't do anything. Those are tribulation clouds. They are the fated tribulations of your life. It is hard to flee from tribulations. You can't hide from them or avoid them. You can only endure them."

Ying Zongtian placed a hand on Xiao Chen's shoulder as he spoke softly. The expression on his face appeared rather relaxed.

"However, Big Brother, the appearance of these tribulation clouds…" Xiao Chen said somewhat worriedly.

Ying Zongtian smiled and said, "It's fine. With however much Luck there is, there has to be a corresponding tribulation. This was the same for anything in history. There is no need to fear the tribulation too much. Just remain calm."

The people of the older generation present all consoled Xiao Chen, telling him not to worry.

Actually, everyone knew that this tribulation cloud was hinting at the most crucial Great Tribulation of wind and fire of Xiao Chen's life.

Clearing it would be like spurring a horse on with a whip. Xiao Chen would thoroughly mature and turn into a dragon. If he failed, he naturally would vanish like smoke. Everything would be like a dream that he would wake up from after opening his eyes.

As the tribulation cloud appeared, the Dragon Qi that lingered for a long time slowly disappeared. Thus, the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony reached its conclusion.

The time of major characters had always been precious. They would not stay overnight here but instead took their leave. Xiao Chen felt reluctant to part with them and tried to get them to remain longer. However, for those that he could not convince, he personally sent them off.

When Xiao Chen looked at Ying Zongtian, this Prime smiled and said, "Your first senior sister will stay here for three days. I have to rush back to the Spirit Fox King and check on his situation."

Xiao Chen revealed a smile on his face. His first senior sister not leaving was a piece of good news.

That tribulation cloud that appeared at the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony left a shadow in Xiao Chen. It was simply difficult to do as Ying Zongtian said, to face it calmly.

The Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony, with its many twists and turns kicking up a huge commotion in the entire Kunlun Realm, still eventually came to a perfect end.

This matter would definitely have an enormous impact on all the Holy Lands and give them a headache.

Back in Heavenly Dragon City, Xiao Chen chatted happily with Shui Lingling, hearing about her various exploits in the Astral Battlefield.

Through this exchange, Xiao Chen came to know that she had already reached Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. Her cultivation was even somewhat stronger than Mo Chen's and Lan Shaobai's. She only returned from the Astral Battlefield due to injury. Unexpectedly, she learned that Xiao Chen was reestablishing the Dragon's Gate, so she rushed over.

The Astral Battlefield was the highest-level experiential training ground in the entire Kunlun Realm. There was no other place that could compare to it.

By cultivating there, not only could one's cultivation improve quickly, but their combat prowess would also not fall behind at all.

However, likewise, the danger there was beyond what could be found in other experiential training grounds in the Kunlun Realm.

The young elites of the Deep Abyss Demon Race were very strong—a head-on blow to the Kunlun Realm's outstanding young talents. Furthermore, even those of the senior generation would not be able to protect them completely in the Astral Battlefield.

That place was a true battlefield. It was the frontlines where the Kunlun Realm and the Deep Abyss Demonic World clashed. Once the forts of the various major races there fell, the Deep Abyss Demonic World could establish a route and kill their way into the Kunlun Realm.

It would be unlike before, when a large amount of time was required to use the spatial tears from the collision of the two realms to enter the Kunlun Realm.

Then, Xiao Chen asked the question that concerned him, "How strong are Di Wuque, Wen Ziran, the three Holy Scions, An Junxi, and the descendants of the Primes now?"

Shui Lingling smiled and replied, "They are improving at godspeed. Compared to me, they are much stronger. However, they are all stuck at Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. Not a single one of them has managed to advance to Consummation quasi-Emperor. I wonder how they would feel if they knew that despite improving at such godly speeds, they are still not comparable to you."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He was rather calm about his lead and did not feel self-satisfied. He said, "When I was a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor, I did not accumulate much. I relied on a shortcut to advance to Consummation quasi-Emperor. If they can remain at Great Perfection quasi-Emperor for some time, building up accumulations, they might not be weaker than me."

Furthermore, of the five years that Xiao Chen had, only slightly less than three years remained.

Now, it was still too early to say who would be able to go further in the future.

"Right, let's not talk about that anymore. I've got something for you." Xiao Chen smiled and took out the ancient Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow from the Universe Ring and handed it over.

Shui Lingling received it and gave it a few skeptical looks. After a while, she exclaimed excitedly, "This is the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow that is on the Divine Weapon Ranking! Junior Brother Xiao Chen, how did you get it? I once asked Master to look for it, but he could not find it."

When Xiao Chen saw her joyful expression, he also revealed a smile on his face.

During the few years when he first entered the Kunlun Realm, seeing it for the first time, this First Senior Sister helped him a lot. He thought nothing of repaying this grace with anything possible. As long as she liked it, it was fine.

"However, it seems like the Item Spirit is no longer in it."

"Right, the Item Spirit is indeed no longer there anymore. However, that way would make it more convenient to refine. As long as you reforge such a Divine Weapon, it will automatically birth an Item Spirit. Then, it will be even closer to you," Xiao Chen explained.

Shui Lingling carefully put away the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow and said with a smile, "I really like this bow. Since I'm your senior sister, I will not stand on ceremony with Junior Brother. With this bow, I will be even more confident in the Astral Battlefield."

These words startled Xiao Chen when he heard them. "Senior Sister, you still have to return to the Astral Battlefield?"

Shui Lingling smiled and replied, "That is natural. The Astral Battlefield is as you said. Great Perfection quasi-Emperors require accumulations. This Astral Battlefield is the best destination for us."

Xiao Chen continued listening and asked about Xiao Bai.

At his mention of Xiao Bai, Shui Lingling revealed an expression of respect. One of the most dazzling figures in the Astral Battlefield was Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai had even obtained a nickname—Nine-Tailed Spirit God!

When Xiao Chen heard this, his lips curled up. Unexpectedly, that drunken Xiao Bai would receive such a nickname someday.
