When the news about Wind Cloud City had reached Xiao Hongxue, he knew it was too late for him.

“What a piece of trash!”

Now that he had found out that Jiang Chen had become the new Extraordinary Supreme Venerable, he had become even more flustered and exasperated.

Wind Cloud City’s position had shifted, and it was now under the control of the Sovereign Spirit Palace, the Martial Divinity Palace, and the Xia.

As a result, he had far less control over it than before. He hadn’t even heard the news about the fire that had been found underground. Otherwise, if he had known about it, the true source of fire would have definitely been his.

The thing that had angered him the most was that he had felt a signal from the Vulcan Ring once again. This must have meant that the two descendants of the Fire Emperor could detect one another once again.

Previously, Jiang Chen had used some unknown method to hide his own fire energy. The fact that the ring was detectable again was definitely not due to the failure of his method. Jiang Chen had done this on purpose!

It was Jiang Chen who was provoking him now that he had the prestige of being the Fire Kylin’s disciple.

He had no fear about meeting him again.

“Jiang Chen was ranked number 53 among the Extraordinary Supreme Venerables. Master Xiao is ranked number 17. There is no need to be worried about facing him.” A weak-sounding voice could be heard from Xiao Hongxue’s secret room. Xiao Hongxue was shocked. He felt as if he was about to face an enemy.

Tianling Mountain was his territory. After the occasion of Jiang Chen coming to rescue someone and getting away with it, he’d reconstructed Tianling Mountain with copper and iron walls.

He’d never expected anyone to be able to get into his secret room without leaving a single trace.

“Who is it? Come out!”

“A friend.”

Somewhere not far ahead of Xiao Hongxue, a ripple appeared out of the void. A figure slowly walked out of it.

“Playing tricks on me, go to h*ll!” Xiao Hongxue did not bother with any formalities and cut him with his sword.

A shattering sound as if a mirror had been broken could be heard. Countless cracks unexpectedly appeared in the void. Fortunately, the cracks started repairing themselves right away.

However, the person who had spoken to Xiao Hongxue was gone as well.

While Xiao Hongxue was still hesitating and trying to figure out what had just happened, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eyes. He had no idea how long since there had been a figure in black robes standing in a corner on the other side of the secret room.

Xiao Hongxue’s heart sank. He thought to himself that this person’s skills were no weaker than Jiang Chen’s.

“You are a member of the blood race...” Xiao Hongxue suddenly shouted in anger.

Previously, Jiang Chen had mentioned the black-robed man when he’d spoken in the Supreme Venerable Hall. He’d known about this guy as well.

“That’s right, I am from the blood race,” the black-robed man admitted.

“You have a lot of guts to appear in front of me! If I kill you, the Spirit of the Natural Law will fall on you once again.”

“Don’t you want to get rid of Jiang Chen?” asked the black-robed man enticingly.

Xiao Hongxue was startled, and he thought about this for a while. His killing intent was still resolute. “Do I need your help to kill Jiang Chen? Do you realize that if I have any relations with you, I will be rejected by the Spirit of the Natural Law.”

“However, your soul doesn’t really belong to this world, does it?”

The black-robed man smiled, and he said, “The only reason why your luck has been unbelievably good is because you have been able to receive the benefit of the Spirit of the Natural Law. Furthermore, you can roam freely without the punishment of the Spirit of the Natural Law.”

“Looks like you have once obtained my blood! However, no matter what you say, you will still have to die,” said Xiao Hongxue coldly.

“What if I can make you the Divine King and give you the ability to rule over the whole world?”

The black-robed man continued, “Furthermore, I’m only helping to show you a way. It will not damage the Black Yellow Great World. You don’t have to do anything for me.”

When he’d finished saying these words, the murderous intent in Xiao Hongxue’s eyes had vanished. “All right, I would like to hear what you have to say.”

.....

At the Ling Long Celestial Palace, people from all over the world wanted to meet the Extraordinary Supreme Venerable who was a mid-level Martial Arts Saint, Jiang Chen.

However, for his part, regarding these people, Jiang Chen didn’t want to meet any of them.

He hadn’t gotten used to the new power he’d obtained after the breakthrough. Hence, he went to look for Xiao Nuo, hoping to be able to train with her.

However, Xiao Nuo turned him down.

At first, Jiang Chen had thought that Xiao Nuo was joking, because there was no reason to reject a request like this.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nuo had remained resolute, saying that her power level was at its peak and was just about to break through.

So, as a last resort, Jiang Chen went to train with Ye Xue. Ye Xue was very willing to train with him because she was dying to know the limits of her spiritual power.

The two of them started fighting in mid-air. Under the conditions of not using his spiritual body, Jiang Chen was forced to use 80 percent of his power.

Ye Xue was content because Jiang Chen had the fire element, so she’d gained a lot from this battle.

However, it was hard for Jiang Chen because he had no way of knowing how strong he would have been if he had used his spiritual body.

“Xiao Nuo was never a graceful girl of noble birth. She’d never liked to stay home.” Jiang Chen felt like Xiao Nuo was hiding something from him. He wanted to ask her for an answer, but he knew she wouldn’t answer him unless she wanted to.

Xiao Nuo was someone with strong opinions. Once she’d decided on something or didn’t want to say something, she wouldn’t do it even if someone tried to force her.

This was obvious from when she had killed herself with the Infinity Sai years ago.

“Wisdom Eye, open!”

Therefore, Jiang Chen decided not to ask her. He looked toward the entrance of the residential palace and used his spiritual power. His eyes turned into a bright galaxy, as everything in the world changed completely.

Under his gaze, he could see through the passage and he was able to see Xiao Nuo’s figure inside the residential palace.

Under that gaze, he seemed to be going back in time. Every action of Xiao Nuo in the residential palace was shown to Jiang Chen.

“Oh, no.”

Jiang Chen was surprised to find out that in the past three years, Xiao Nuo had never stepped out of the celestial palace even once. The only time she’d ever left was when she went to the Alien Battlefield and to the Demon Slayers Palace with him.

Before that, Xiao Nuo had reincarnated into the Red Cloud Venerable, turned the forbidden land into a flat land, and built the Ling Long Celestial Palace.

Way before that was the 500 years of darkness when Xiao Ruo had been sleeping in the World of Bloody Sea.

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen’s energy seemed to be dying. Both his eyes felt painful. However, he forced himself to activate the Wisdom Eye and finally saw what had happened 500 years ago.

“Oh, my god!”

Finally, Jiang Chen had seem what he had been looking for. His expression had never been this solemn.

At this same time, Xiao Nuo, who was in the residential palace, felt something. Her eyes opened in anger.

“Come here!” Jiang Chen heard a demanding voice in his ears.

No need for her to call him. Jiang Chen wanted to go into the residential palace himself to make things clear.

When he’d arrived at the residential palace, he got straight to the point and said, “Xiao Nuo, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Who asked you to act on your own and look at it? Besides, how did you see it?” Xiao Ruo was extremely surprised. She’d planned never to tell Jiang Chen about it.

“I have the Wisdom Eye. I can see through everything in the world.”

As Jiang Chen was talking, he couldn’t stop himself and he held Xiao Nuo in his arms. “I am so sorry. I haven’t cared enough about you. I thought after you became the Red Cloud Venerable you didn’t have any problems.”

Listening to his tender voice, Xiao Nuo let out a sigh. The burden of being the strongest female Venerable Sovereign was removed as she snuggled in his arms.

“My master has allowed me to live until this day to reunite with you, explain the truth, and die without any regrets.”

Xiao Ruo said faintly, “But you returned the sovereign spirit of the Red Cloud Venerable to me and let me continue my life. I must practice nonstop, or, if I stop, I will be one step closer to death.”

To put it in a different way, Xiao Nuo was already dead. Her life right now was fully dependent on her practicing.

A ruthless fact was that no one could escape time.

Immortality was the dream of all intelligent life.

However, one’s life span had already been decided by destiny. Only increasing one’s level could change one’s fate.

Xiao Nuo had crossed 500 years with her body perfectly preserved, and with excellent life characteristics.

However, she owed destiny 500 years of life span.

Therefore, she had to shut herself in forever. Being called the most hard-working female Venerable Sovereign was a kind of sarcasm that she could really have done without.
