Chapter 1938 Raw 2038 Repeated : Discussions Complete
Someone else just arrived?
On hearing what Xiao Chen said, Situ Changfeng smiled and said, “It looks like Brother Xiao is very popular in the Heavenly Dragon Palace.”
Very popular?
Xiao Chen did not say anything. However, he guessed that this had something to do with his disappointment at the Profound Dragon Platform earlier.
He did not know who came, but with a thought, he took out his identity token and formed a hand seal with both hands.
The formations surrounding the residence opened. Soon, Jue Yun and Yi Xin rushed over to Xiao Chen.
“Senior Brothers, why are you here?” Xiao Chen asked as he looked at the two, finding their presence somewhat unusual.
Jue Yun hesitated for a moment before probing, “Junior Brother, did you obtain a Heavenly Dragon Fruit?”
“That’s right. While explaining my comprehensions to everyone, I seemed to have gained the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Dragon statue. A fruit dropped out, a Heavenly Dragon Fruit,” Xiao Chen answered honestly, not hiding anything.
“It was indeed the Heavenly Dragon Fruit!”
Jue Yun and Yi Xin both rejoiced in their hearts. Yi Xin said, “Junior Brother, there should be three Heavenly Dragon Leaves with the Heavenly Dragon Fruit. After you consume the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, the effects of the Heavenly Dragon Leaves will not be great. The two of us would like to ask Junior Brother for a Heavenly Dragon Leaf each. We can use resources to exchange for it.”
“Senior Brothers are too polite. If not for explaining my comprehensions to everyone, the Heavenly Dragon Fruit would not have appeared. We are from the same sect, so an exchange is not necessary…”
Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, Jue Yun and Yi Xin rejoiced greatly. “Junior Brother is really straightforward. In that case, the two of us will not stand on ceremony.”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was so generous, not requiring them to use resources to exchange for the leaves.
Xiao Chen felt helpless, not knowing how to explain. He had not finished what he wanted to say.
When Situ Changfeng saw what happened, he said softly, “The two of you are too late. Brother Xiao Chen has already given the Heavenly Dragon Leaves to the three of us. I’m afraid it is impossible for us to return them.”
“What?!”
Jue Yun and Yi Xin were both shocked. Only now did they notice the three people with Xiao Chen. These three had extraordinary auras and were very strong.
The two asked, “Might we ask who the few of you are?”
“The Red Dragon Palace’s heaven-class core disciple Murong Yan!”
“The Blue Dragon Palace’s heaven-class core disciple Situ Changfeng!”
“The Golden Dragon Palace’s heaven-class core disciple Wei Hongfei!”
Jue Yun and Yi Xin immediately felt a huge pressure. These three were actually heaven-class core disciples with Divine Dragon bloodlines.
Although they were all heaven-class core disciples, everyone in the Divine Dragon Empire knew that there was a clear disparity between the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s heaven-class core disciples and the heaven-class core disciples of the other outer palaces in terms of strength and status.

Furthermore, Jue Yun and Yi Xin were among the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s weaker heaven-class core disciples.
The stronger heaven-class core disciples had passed the test long ago and were adventuring outside.
Feeling somewhat awkward, Jue Yun smiled in embarrassment. “Sorry for the interruption.”
After the two left Xiao Chen’s residence, they found it hard to remain calm. To think that three Divine Dragon bloodline heaven-class core disciples were visiting Xiao Chen.
Moreover, the three’s expressions showed that they did not act superior before him.
In fact, Jue Yun and Yi Xin got the impression that the three were there to ask him for help.
That calm, white-robed bladesman at the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue had already surpassed them without them realizing it.
Be it ken or broadness of heart, there was no comparison.
With this thought, the two could not help feeling slightly disappointed.
“It looks like Senior Sister Li Luo is right. Junior Brother Xiao Chen had kind intentions. With his strength and the broadness of his heart, he does not need to misdirect us to prevent us from surpassing him.” Yi Xin somewhat helplessly stated the facts and let out a long sigh.
Even heaven-class core disciples with Divine Dragon bloodlines came to Xiao Chen for help. How could he have seen the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s heaven-class core disciples as opponents and harbored ill intent?
After shaking their heads, the two left dispiritedly.
They were not disappointed by their failure to obtain the Heavenly Dragon Leaves. What truly disappointed them was the discovery of the gap between them and Xiao Chen.

Back at Cold Moon Cave, Situ Changfeng’s group did not remain for long.
Wei Hongfei stood up and said, “Let’s meet at the largest inn of Heavenly Dragon City three days hence. Xiao Chen, you should make your preparations.”
“Right.”
After the three left, Xiao Chen took out the Heavenly Dragon Fruit and ate it without much thought.
The glistening, golden Heavenly Dragon Fruit tasted pretty good. It was fragrant and sweet and felt refreshing as it slid down the throat.
Soon after, the Heavenly Dragon Fruit’s effects started to manifest.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and carefully probed the changes. The instant he closed his eyes, his entire body released a resplendent light formed by strands of pure Dragon Qi. Then, the Dragon Qi gathered behind him and formed a Heavenly Dragon.
There was already a trace of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries in his body. With the aid of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, this trace strengthened.
Xiao Chen gradually felt that he could grasp the originally indistinct and intangible Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries, as if they were about to take form.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s aura flourished wildly and rapidly. After he consumed the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, his opposing Veritable Essence Energies condensed before quickly expanding. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
When he had completely absorbed the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, his cultivation directly soared to peak Consummation late-stage Star Venerate.
This saved Xiao Chen a lot of time, bringing him to the peak of the Starry Sky Stage.
Previously, he had expected to need some time to reach the bottleneck. Now, he was already there.
Four hours later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. A dragon-shaped golden light flashed in his eyes.
“How strong! The improvements to my Veritable Essence Energies are secondary. On the other hand, the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries are a pleasant surprise.”
Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energies would have reached such a level eventually. Furthermore, he did not lack resources, just time.
However, the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries were different. Comprehending them took time. One Heavenly Dragon Fruit directly helped him condense a complete strand of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries.
It was no longer like before, where he could only sense it but not grasp it.
With a thought, a strand of swimming light appeared in Xiao Chen’s palm.
This was the form of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries. Xiao Chen revealed joy on his face. In the future, infusing the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries into his aura, his Dragon Might, and Martial Techniques would be easy.
Now, he was more confident of becoming a Heavenly Dragon.
For the next three days, Xiao Chen did not make any preparations. He only worked on digesting the many benefits he had gained from consuming the Heavenly Dragon Fruit.
Aside from his Veritable Essence Energy, his cultivation, and the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries, he had to slowly experience the other benefits.
For example, the cleansing of his physical body allowed his Divine Dragon War Body to improve further.

Three days later, Xiao Chen met up with the other three at the largest inn in Heavenly Dragon City.
Now that they were not in the Heavenly Dragon Palace, Wei Hongfei, Situ Changfeng, and Murong Yan did not have to restrain themselves.
Situ Changfeng looked at Xiao Chen, and his eyes lit up. “Xiao Chen, you already refined the Heavenly Dragon Fruit?”
“Yes. The effects are pretty good. It condensed my Veritable Essence Energy again, and my cultivation even reached peak Consummation late-stage Star Venerate. My Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries also improved further.”
The Heavenly Dragon Fruit raised Xiao Chen’s combat prowess by at least twenty percent.
Although Situ Changfeng and the other two refined the Heavenly Dragon Leaves, the effects were much lesser than Xiao Chen’s.
Furthermore, the three had not comprehended the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries. So, the greatest effect of the Heavenly Dragon Leaves was wasted.
“In that case, let’s go to Desolate God Valley. The opportunities there will be greater.” Situ Changfeng smiled softly.
Wei Hongfei said, “Speaking of which, Xiao Chen, what do you know of Desolate God Valley?”
“Not much. I only know that it is a forbidden land that is on the borders of several empires. It would have not only Divine Dragon Empire cultivators but also cultivators from other empires adventuring there. Aside from the dangers of Desolate God Valley itself, we will have to deal with the cultivators of the other empires.”
Wei Hongfei said seriously, “Actually, it is more dangerous than you think. With our strength, we can only wander about the periphery of Desolate God Valley for fortuitous encounters. While Desolate God Valley is called a valley, in reality, it is quite vast, comparable to a county of the empire. There are also many secret realms that can materialize unknown, small, independent worlds.
“However, if we can find some opportunities, our chances at the competition between the seven palaces will be much higher.”
Xiao Chen thought about another matter, which led him to ask, “Among the outer palaces’ heaven-class core disciples, where you do all rank?”
Murong Yan and the others answered his question honestly. “Although we are not bottom-feeders, it is still difficult for us to enter the top ten. The many veteran heaven-class core disciples all hide their strengths deeply and are very horrifying. Who knows how strong they are?”
When Xiao Chen heard that, he stared blankly, somewhat stumped for words. The Divine Dragon bloodline heaven-class core disciples were apparently a little frightening.
To think that Murong Yan, Wei Hongfei, and Situ Changfeng did not dare to say that they could rank within the top ten.
Wei Hongfei added seriously, “However, the three of us are still confident of breaking into the top ten within half a year. Those people just had more time than us. Their talent and comprehension ability are not that strong, even weaker than ours.”
Situ Changfeng said, “We need to find a fortuitous encounter when we enter Desolate God Valley this time, one that can allow us to surpass them within a short period.”
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He had not met any of the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s veteran heaven-class core disciples yet.
However, based on the strength of Jue Yun, Li Luo, and Yi Xin, Xiao Chen could roughly deduce those heaven-class core disciples’ strength. Those adventuring outside the Heavenly Dragon Palace would definitely be stronger.
Like Situ Changfeng, Murong Yan, and Wei Hongfei, he had to work hard too.
After they concluded their discussion and reached an agreement, Wei Hongfei said, “We still need to go to the White Dragon Palace and Green Dragon Palace to find one person from each of them. Let’s go to the White Dragon Palace first.”
