Chapter 934: Frantically Consuming
Each of the nine hundred Magic Treasures contained ten divine materials, each of which would come to at least five hundred kilograms. However, melting them down resulted in some loss.
After Xiao Chen consumed about eight hundred Magic Treasures, he finally managed to cultivate the first layer of the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art.
Under the nourishment of the five hundred tons of divine materials, the weak strand of azure Dragon Energy was finally no longer vague and indistinct but now a strand of clear Dragon Energy swimming around in his body.
Xiao Chen felt excited. All the acupoints of his body opened. A dragon roar resounded within him, and his entire body felt full of explosive energy.
He stood up and punched the ground. One Dragon Force—five thousand tons of force—immediately blasted out. A crack extended through the earth, traveling for five kilometers and splitting the flat ground in half, an extremely terrifying sight.
Furthermore, this was just the power of one punch!
Ye Chen, who had already recovered from most of his injuries, immediately exclaimed, “You directly consumed eight hundred Magic Treasures. Just what Cultivation Technique are you cultivating? The requirements are so horrifying!”
Although Ye Chen acknowledged Xiao Chen’s strength, he did not feel much envy. Even if he were given such a Cultivation Technique, he would not cultivate it.
Eight hundred Magic Treasures, which were equal to King Grade Secret Treasures, rivaled the accumulations of a Rank 8 sect. Cultivating such a Cultivation Technique to the end was impossible. No sect could support the expenditure.
Nourishing one Dragon Force required five hundred tons of divine materials. The second layer required one to accumulate ten Dragon Force before the Azure Dragon Battle Armor would form. The amount of divine material needed was astronomical.
Xiao Chen withdrew his fist and looked at the remaining hundred Magic Treasures. Then, he stretched out his hand and placed them all inside his Universe Ring. For now, he did not have any intention of continuing to cultivate the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art.
He then walked over and asked, “Brother Ye, what are your plans now?”
A murderous intent flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. He replied, “Naturally, chase after Di Wuque and repay the favor. I have never suffered such a disadvantage before.”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “In that case, I wish you success. I won’t be sending you off, then!”
“They are heading to the heavenly palaces now. Don’t tell me you don’t want to go there?” the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen said as he looked straight at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen retorted calmly, “What for? Should I go and end up getting sent back with one palm strike like you?”
“You…”
Ye Chen felt stifled as he said in a sullen voice, “Indeed, you are still as gutless as before. No wonder you are sticking with this mouse. I, Ye Chen, look down on you.”
Lord Jiu felt very depressed; he was innocent, but he still got caught in the crossfire.
Xiao Chen did not bother arguing. “You can say whatever you want. In any case, I will not be going to the heavenly palaces at the moment.”
Ye Chen flung his sleeves and snorted coldly. Then he picked up his saber and headed into the distance once more.
Xiao Chen watched as the other party disappeared from his vision. Then he shook his head slightly. What a pity that person is so temperamental.
He opened his mouth and spat out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. With a wave of his hand, the pile of divine materials all poured into the cauldron.
At the same time, the Lunar True Flame in Xiao Chen’s left eye shot out as well.
This was still not enough. So Xiao Chen tossed in half the remaining hundred Magic Treasures to be melted.
With a wave of his hand, the Big Dipper Banner flickering with tricolor lights appeared in his grasp. After he separated all the divine materials in the cauldron, he added the Big Dipper Banner into it.
He set out to transform this Big Dipper Banner yet again.
Naturally, Xiao Chen also wanted to enter the heavenly palaces of the Immortal sect Remnant. However, there was no point if he lacked strength.
If one could not even block one move from a true expert, one would just end up humiliating oneself, getting thrown out with a single palm strike.
Di Wuque had a network of outstanding talents. There were the thirteen Keepers behind him as well as Tian Youxi who never left him.
Xiao Qinghan and Xia Dongyang alone would already be difficult to deal with.
Only with such backing did Di Wuque dare to move around without fear. Even if a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage expert ran into them, they would not have to retreat.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen was alone. Many people wanted to kill him. If he did not prepare more trump cards, he would only end up dying.
The nine heavenly palaces gave off multicolored lights. Rumor said that there was Immortal Equipment in there.
Immortal Equipment was something equal to an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. A Rank 9 sect had three basic distinctions: a Martial Emperor, an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, a Holy Spirit Vein. Only when a sect had all three could it be considered a Rank 9 sect.
The number of these three distinctions represented the strength and accumulations of a Rank 9 sect. If there really was Immortal Equipment, all the Rank 9 sects would definitely send out their quasi-Emperors to fight for them.
In the past few days, explosions had rung out continuously in the sky above. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Occasionally, one could see even more horrifying scenes like the sky being torn apart.
These were temporary spatial tears created when the great grandmaster-level Martial Sage experts brought out the might of their King Grade Secret Treasures to one hundred and twenty percent.
The space of the Kunlun Realm was very stable. Before one reached quasi-Emperor, even if one could flip rivers and seas or shatter rocks and mountains, one would not be able to tear space with their own strength.
However, now, even before quasi-Emperors appeared, space was already getting torn. One could easily imagine how strong the restrictions of the nine heavenly palaces were.

However, all these had nothing to do with Xiao Chen. He was currently infusing several hundred tons of divine materials into the Big Dipper Banner, allowing the seven Astral Pearls to reach an unprecedented quality.
As the divine materials infused in, starlight fell from the sky, The initial specks turned into strands, then into a rain of starlight, shrouding the area within one kilometer in night.
This scene drew several cultivators to check it out in excitement, thinking that a powerful treasure was being uncovered. Xiao Chen used very expeditious methods to kill all the cultivators who came near.
Three days later, the Big Dipper Banner finally completed its rebirth. Its grade increased once again, reaching the same standards as a peak King Grade Secret Treasure. Furthermore, its three different states—massacre, death, and ruin—allowed it to suppress Secret Treasures of the same level.
With such an Astral Banner, Xiao Chen was fully confident of killing the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders without giving them any chance to escape.
He would also be able to hold his own against great grandmaster-level Martial Sages and easily flee without any pressure.
“Return!”
The starlight filling the sky converged. Xiao Chen grabbed the Big Dipper Banner. The scarlet energy of Massacre, the gray energy of Ruin, and the black energy of Death mixed with the starlight and flickered endlessly.
The banner unfurled, and the seven Astral Pearls radiated dazzling light. This was especially so for Dubhe, Merak, and Phecda—the Astral Pearls infused with the thrones—making the light seem even stranger.
As Xiao Chen held the banner, he casually swung it. Starlight surged out like the wind, spreading out. Several hidden restrictions in the air instantly broke, exploding in a dazzling radiance.
The might of this banner was clear. However, Xiao Chen frowned slightly in apparent dissatisfaction.
After the previous fusion, the three thrones had undergone a metamorphosis. This time, there was only a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one.
In order to induce a new qualitative change, Xiao Chen would have to find the other four thrones or obtain the inheritance of the Big Dipper Palace and use the secret methods of the Astral Palace to activate the Big Dipper Banner.
Only then could the might of the Big Dipper Banner be truly unleashed.
“Bang!”
Dirt scattered all over the ground, and then Lord Jiu leaped out with a shifty look on his face. He exclaimed in excitement, “It’s broken! The restrictions on the nine heavenly palaces are all broken. The strength of these great grandmaster-level Martial Sages is truly horrifying.”
With a thought, Xiao Chen put away the Big Dipper Banner. Then he asked, “How many great grandmaster-level Martial Sages did you see?”
Lord Jiu mumbled to himself for a while and then replied, “There were the four big shots of the Primal Chaos Domain; they are famous loose cultivators. Then, there were three inner sect First Elders from the Muddy Sky Gate, the Frost Moon Palace, and the Heavenly Music Sect. Finally, the last two should be from the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Aside from these people, there should be some other hidden great grandmaster-level Martial Sages that I did not notice.”
There were already nine great grandmaster-level Martial Sages in the open—more than Xiao Chen had expected.
He stared at the nine heavenly palaces in the distance. After a while, a bright light flashed in his eyes. Then he said calmly, “Lead the way, then.”
The light of excitement flashed in Lord Jiu’s eyes. The restrictions of the nine heavenly palaces had been broken one after another, causing him to yearn to enter long ago. However, he could not do so as Xiao Chen had been focused on refining the Big Dipper Banner.
Now, Xiao Chen was finally going to take action. Lord Jiu felt that this completely unfathomable person was like a hidden True Dragon. Xiao Chen simply chose not to make a move. However, when he did move, he would shake the place up, even tearing the sky.
Lord Jiu was already very familiar with the way. As he led Xiao Chen, he moved very quickly. They passed many broken palaces en route. Occasionally, the light of treasures soared into the sky.
However, these lights did not draw much attention. The cultivators who came here were all attracted to the nine floating heavenly palaces at the top of the mountain. They felt a strong urge to try and obtain an even stronger Magic Treasure.
The higher one went, the more eye-catching the multicolored lights became, even more resplendent and dazzling.
The nine heavenly palaces were arranged in a circle with the summit as the center. Standing at the summit, Xiao Chen sensed his surroundings. The nine heavenly palaces seemed to form a formation.
This formation was probably suppressing something under the summit. However, the flat summit was like a jade platform; nothing could be made out.
Nevertheless, when Xiao Chen punched the summit, unleashing one Dragon Force—five thousand tons of force—the ground did not budge at all. Not a single rock on the entire mountain moved.
It seemed like this flat platform absorbed all the force from his strike.
This outcome further solidified Xiao Chen’s suspicion that the nine majestic heavenly palaces were indeed a formation.
Since this was a formation, there should be a center to it. However, Xiao Chen did not know which heavenly palace contained the center of the formation. If he could control that heavenly palace, he would be able to break the seal and let the mysterious thing under the summit see the light of day again.
Apparently, there might be some truth to the rumor of Immortal Equipment. Xiao Chen would not be the only one to figure out the secret behind these nine heavenly palaces.
However, which heavenly palace is the center of the formation in?
“Old Brother Xiao, have you made your choice? This Lord Jiu cannot wait any longer,” the old man prompted as he rubbed his hands together in glee.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and laughed self-mockingly. So what if I find the center of the formation? When the Immortal Equipment appears, the quasi-Emperors will definitely make a move.
Regular Magic Treasures equal to King Grade Secret Treasures would not attract the attention of quasi-Emperors. However, if Immortal Equipment were to appear, the quasi-Emperors would no doubt take action. Before a quasi-Emperor, even great grandmaster-level Martial Sages would be nothing.
Xiao Chen was just a peak Medial Grade Martial Sage. What was the point of thinking so much? The Immortal Equipment was not something that he could compete for at this point.
He stood up and leaped, casually entering one of the heavenly palaces. Immediately, the sound of intense battles reached his ears. A vast world appeared before his eyes.
The size of the heavenly palace was much vaster than what it appeared to be on the outside. Large numbers of Magic Treasures floated in the palaces. Based on the auras of some of them, they were not inferior to the Heavenly Phoenix Fan.
These were peak Magic Treasures infused with thousands of divine materials, treasures that would interest even great grandmaster-level Martial Sages. However, the strong restrictions around each of these Magic Treasures would not be easy to break.
