Chapter 1933 (Raw 2034): Starry Heavens Dragon Prison
“Whom do you want to meet?” the Second Palace Master Jue Yang asked, looking at Xiao Chen interestedly.
As for who Xiao Chen wanted to meet, the one that he most wanted to meet was naturally Liu Ruyue.
However, that was not the request that Xiao Chen wanted to make. Liu Ruyue was in Ancestor Dragon City. He had already obtained definitive information on that.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen was getting closer to reaching that step. It was just a matter of time.
There was no need to waste this opportunity.
Xiao Chen looked left and right. Palace Master Jue Yang said something to Elder Tian Yun; then, Elder Tian Yun led the rest away.
Now, only Xiao Chen and Palace Master Jue Yang remained.
After Xiao Chen verified that there was no one else, he said seriously, “I would like to meet the creator of the Supreme Dragon Fist, the senior who fought the Dragon Emperor twenty-five years ago.”
“Who told you all this?”
Palace Master Jue Yang’s face suddenly sank. His gaze instantly turned incredibly sharp, piercing Xiao Chen like an invisible arrow.
Xiao Chen immediately felt immense pressure. His legs trembled involuntarily, finding it difficult to remain straight.
It was like he had touched on something taboo.
However, Xiao Chen did not get fl.u.s.tered. He asked coldly, “Does it have anything to do with my request?”
Palace Master Jue Yang looked at Xiao Chen with a grave and sharp expression, continuously putting pressure on him for a long time.
When Palace Master Jue Yang saw that Xiao Chen showed no changes under such heavy pressure, he slowly withdrew his aura. Then, he sighed softly, “It has nothing to do with it. However, this person is already dead. I am unable to fulfill your request.”
Dead?!
Xiao Chen felt that it was impossible. A bona fide Heavenly Dragon only challenged the Dragon Emperor. He could not have been executed.
After one became a Heavenly Dragon, one held a special position with extremely high prestige. No one would hastily execute such a person unless he was too great a threat.
Palace Master Jue Yang smiled and said, “I know that you are determined to become a Heavenly Dragon and that you also successfully practiced the Supreme Dragon Fist. The request you made is not overboard and is quite reasonable. However, I am unable to fulfill it. I cannot possibly arrange a meeting between you and a dead man.
“Take the Medicinal Pill and raise another request. If you cannot think of one right now, you can wait first and make the request later.”
Xiao Chen received the peak-quality Blood Transformation Pill and said, “I will wait first, then. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now.”
“Alright, you may leave. Your soul and blood imprints have already been entered into the core formations of the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s main peak. You may cultivate freely here in the future.”
Palace Master Jue Yang smiled faintly. When he saw Xiao Chen turn around, he looked up and muttered to himself, “There should be a full moon tonight. The top of the Heavenly Dragon statue is probably the best place to admire the full moon.”
---
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night breeze was cooling.
In the cultivation room, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a prolonged breath of turbid air.
That night, he had drained five thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills. He proceeded firmly, solidifying his cultivation.
Xiao Chen did not overthink anything. He went out and raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky.
In the middle of the night, he turned into a lightning bolt and flew to the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s main peak.
This time, he did not feel any obstruction or resistance as he entered and landed firmly.
Then, he went to the platform where the Spiritual Energy waterfall was.
This place was known as the Profound Dragon Platform. It was the heaven-cla.s.s core disciples’ favorite spot for cultivation.
Firstly, Spiritual Energy was abundant here. Secondly, the Heavenly Dragon statue was here. When cultivating here, one could feel the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries, which could help resolve many difficult questions about the Martial Dao.
More importantly, if one went up, one would be on top of the Heavenly Dragon statue. Many heaven-cla.s.s core disciples dreamed of being able to stand on the top of it one day.
Seeing the Heavenly Dragon Palace from such a height was different.
Xiao Chen gently pushed off with his feet and turned into a lightning dragon. As he received the baptism of the Spiritual Energy waterfall, he continuously moved upwards.
After a while, he landed on the head of the Heavenly Dragon.
Xiao Chen saw that someone had already arrived to admire the full moon.
This was the Second Palace Master, Jue Yang.
After seeing Xiao Chen arrive, Second Palace Master Jue Yang flew up without saying a word.
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
Xiao Chen quickly followed him. Slowly, he felt the pressure growing stronger. He could not help feeling startled. The Second Palace Master is flying to the Starry Heavens.
Indeed, Jue Yang tore through the sky in front without saying a word, reaching the infinite Starry Heavens.
The vast Starry Heavens was boundless and endless.
Second Palace Master Jue Yang arrived at an asteroid belt, where tens of thousands of asteroids made up an extremely expansive formation that looked like the vast ocean.
Xiao Chen felt startled. He found it hard to imagine that there actually was such a horrifyingly powerful formation in the world.
The stars were like stones with the Starry Heavens as the land.
Xiao Chen could feel the vastness and magnificence of this asteroid belt from extremely far away.
Looking from afar, he was somewhat horrified to discover that boundless resentment and killing intent had gathered in the asteroid belt, at the center of the formation.
Countless negative emotions had acc.u.mulated, forming a dreadful face that twisted continuously.
Xiao Chen could not help feeling a chill and s.h.i.+vering. He did not dare to look anymore.
“Plop! Plop!”
He seemed to hear the sound of dripping water. With each drip, his heart s.h.i.+vered, and his soul shook.
What is that sound? Xiao Chen asked in his heart, feeling confused. At the same time, he hurt with a pain that made him wish for death; it felt like his soul was being torn apart.
Second Palace Master Jue Yang s.h.i.+elded Xiao Chen in time. Then, he leaped up and landed on an asteroid.
The formation made up of a myriad of asteroids immediately started spinning; the power of the world that it drove could easily crush a Sovereign Personage.
“Follow closely,” Palace Master Jue Yang said. Xiao Chen recovered his wits and did not dare to move rashly.
As Palace Master Jue Yang continuously ventured deeper, Xiao Chen slowly approached the core area.
The center of the formation was where the boundless killing intent, resentment, and rage were. The twisted human face also became increasingly clearer.
“We’ll stop here.”
Palace Master Jue Yang stopped, and the asteroid that they stood on slowly rose. While looking through the haze, Xiao Chen discovered a black dragon city under the horrifying, twisted human face.
“That is Dragon Prison City. All the criminals above Sovereign Personage in the Divine Dragon Empire are locked up in there. The person you want to meet is in there.”
Xiao Chen looked in the direction that Palace Master Jue Yang indicated and saw a scarlet dragon pillar on an altar in the center of the city.
There was a cold sword stabbed into the top of the dragon pillar.
Chains flickering with cold light bound a petrified cultivator at the bottom.
Even though this cultivator was petrified, his eyes remained spirited, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with intelligence. This made it clear that this was not a statue.
This was a person, a person who was temporarily petrified.
“This is the person you want to meet. He offended the Dragon Emperor, and the Dragon Emperor personally suppressed him and locked him up in this dragon prison. He will be released only after three thousand years.”
Xiao Chen did not respond, completely entranced by that petrified cultivator, who gave off a unique air.
Even from such an extreme distance, Xiao Chen could feel a boldness that encompa.s.sed the entire dragon city.
Yet, the boldness also was independent of the dragon city. This cultivator did not sink into depravity despite the sin and negative emotions that were rife in the prison.
This cultivator clearly suffered, but he showed no signs of rage or helplessness at being punished.
“That’s not right!”
Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that the scarlet dragon pillar was not scarlet in the first place.
Rather, the terrifying divine flame on the altar was burning that Dragon Race cultivator red. Although this person was sealed, he still suffered from inhumane torture and punishment. He suffered from the burning of the intense flame at every moment.
However, Xiao Chen amended his conclusion after a while.
He noticed a sword wound on the chest of the sealed cultivator. This wound was intentionally left behind. Blood dripped onto the altar from it.
The drip that Xiao Chen heard at first was the heart blood of this person falling out.
The dragon pillar was dyed red with this cultivator’s blood.
Xiao Chen was stunned. He eyed the dragon pillar, wondering how tall it was. To think that this cultivator’s heart blood had dyed it completely red. What kind of torture was this cultivator suffering?
“Boom!”
Just at this moment, the twisted human face in the sky shrieked interminably. Then, it turned into countless strands of black energy, surging chaotically in the Starry Heavens but unable to escape the boundaries of the dragon prison.
The twisted human face dispersed, and the figure looked blurry for a while before it formed the face of a normal person.
This face looked exactly the same as that of the cultivator being punished on the dragon pillar. Its air was identical, showing no difference at all.
“Jue Yang, you are here to see me again?”
This person’s voice sounded hoa.r.s.e but mellow and rich. When it rang out, it echoed throughout this area of Starry Heavens.
Every asteroid in the asteroid formation released a resplendent pillar of light, looking like it wanted to seal off this part of the Starry Heavens.
Xiao Chen felt shocked. Such a scene exceeded his expectations.
Even though this cultivator was being suppressed and sealed, he still could cause such a commotion.
