âJiang Chen, this is a senior from my clan.â
Ao Yue introduced a noble-looking middle-aged man. He was wearing a silk robe and was fair-skinned and beardless. He gave off a majestic air.
Ao Yu had not intended to socialize with anyone. He was only here to protect the young princess.
However, he realized the Heavenly Palace was not as simple as he had thought when the Black Yellow Elixirs had emerged.
Jiang Chen turned serious. The Martial Arts Saint before him was the strongest among all the people he had seen this day.
âThe principal ingredient of Black Yellow Elixir is Black Yellow Gas. I guess any race can take it, canât they?â Ao Yu got down to business after greeting Jiang Chen.
Elixir was a human being thing. Its effect depended on its ingredients. Sometimes, due to some ingredients, it did not work for other races. Sometimes it could even be poison for other races.
The best thing about Black Yellow Elixir was that any race could take it.
While they were talking, some people had taken the Black Yellow Elixirs to test the effects Jiang Chen had claimed.
âExactly. The Dragons can take it too,â said Jiang Chen.
Dragons were the most special race, so there were more restrictions on elixirs for them.
Ao Yu felt relieved. Smiling, he said, âAs a matter of fact, President Jiang, youâve got a great history with the Dragons too.â
He meant Jiang Chenâs divine body, which had been transformed by the origin of fire dragons, and the Black Dragon!
âItâs really a surprise that the Black Dragon has a survivor.â
Gazing at the Black Dragon, Ao Yu exclaimed.
The Black Dragon had transformed into a human figure. He was not smiling and seemed quite resistant to the arrival of the Golden Dragon.
Jiang Chen happened to know some of this history.
The Black Dragons were bellicose. When the Golden Dragons opened up the Dragon Realm, the Black Dragons were reluctant to go with them. They insisted on staying in the Nine Realms.
The facts proved the Black Dragonsâ decision did make sense. The Black Dragons had been eliminated.
The Black Dragon with Jiang Chen in the Heavenly Palace used to be a soul. It was thanks to the effect of the eight groups of spiritual beings that it got a dragon body.
âJiang Chen, we from the Red Blood Field are willing to join the Heavenly Palace, to be loyal to you forever and ever!â
At this moment, the white-robed man, on pins and needles, came up to Jiang Chen. He sounded pretty righteous.
Seeing this scene, Situ Nan looked pretty embarrassed.
The Red Blood Field belonged to the camp of the Academy of the Land of Abundance.
Empress Ling Longâs joining the Heavenly Palace was the Red Blood Fieldâs business.
But if the Red Blood Field also joined the Heavenly Palace, it would be unfavorable for the Academy of the Land of Abundance.
âThe Heavenly Palace is too small for you, Field Lord,â Jiang Chen said with a cold smile. He had seen through the white-robed man.
The white-robed man immediately realized he must leave the Seventh Realm as quickly as possible, and get as far away as possible.
He then said something disrespectful because he couldnât control his impulse.
Jiang Chen had ignored him because he was hosting guests, but he knew once Jiang Chen was not so busy anymore, he would end up tragically.
âJiang Chen, let me handle this fella.â
Jiang Chen heard Situ Nanâs voice.
Jiang Chen was struck dumb. Then he smiled. He did not refuse.
Situ Nan was being nice to him, which was good for the Heavenly Palace.
Then Jiang Chen invited his guests to enter the Heavenly Palace.
As they had said in the World of Bloody Sea, they would like to take advantage of this day to celebrate the fact that Jiang Chen had killed the Evil Blood Emperor and saved everyone from a terrible plight.
As he spoke, Jiang Chen called the Evil Blood Emperor over for the purpose of shocking everyone.
âWow!â
The crowd screamed from fright.
After making clear what was going on, they all burst out laughing.
âJiang Chen, you are not nice at all,â
Wan Ruoxi said. Then she turned around to speak to her younger sister, âDonât be tricked by him.â
âElder sister!â
Stomping, the younger sister of the Wans reached out to pinch her big sister.
On the other side of the room, the three academies, lured by the Black Yellow Elixirs, had all changed their attitudes. They had come into the Heavenly Palace as guests.
âThe Heavenly Palace will certainly thrive.â
Wu Ming and the others lifted their defenses. The biggest problem of this day had been officially resolved.
Suddenly, some people wanted to join the Heavenly Palace.
But they were all politely refused by Jiang Chen, because he did not want any hangers-on.
This made the lord of the Shangguans regret his earlier decision. His daughter had had the chance.
âYoung lady, this Jiang Chen isnât a simple person. Heâll be a great friend.â
Yi Ya heard the voice of some elder from her clan.
âHeh, heh, Elder Mo, didnât you complain about the great consumption caused by the planesâ channelâs transmissions to the Seventh Realm?â Yi Ya teased him.
âDid I? I donât think so.â Elder Mo smiled awkwardly, reluctant to admit it.
In the now harmonious air, the Heavenly Palace seemed to have gotten a solid foundation in the Seventh Realm.
Now, the only potential risk was what the Eighth Realm would do.
Soon, people found their concerns about the Eighth Realm were not unfounded.
While they were celebrating delightfully, another planesâ channel opened outside the Heavenly Palace.
âJiang Chen?â
Wu Ming was not sure whether they were here to congratulate Jiang Chen as well.
âTheyâre from the Eighth Realm,â
Jiang Chen said coldly. Those from the World of Bloody Sea were already all here.
âJiang Chen, donât worry about it. If they were here to attack you, they would have to go through the real planesâ channel. This isnât enough to transmit an entire army,â
Ao Yue said.
The others all lowered their heads involuntarily, each with his own ax to grind.
The white-robed man looked as if he was struggling. He was not sure whether it was time to laugh or not...
Under numerous gazes, a few figures walked out of the swirl from the planesâ channel.
As Ao Yue had said, these few people were not enough to occupy the Heavenly Palace.
âThis is unprecedentedly grand. Looks as if the Heavenly Palace insists on breaking the system established by the three academies.â
Their leader was a handsome man in a white robe, less than 30 years old, but already a Martial Arts Saint!
Behind him were many Martial Arts Saints, all the same age as he was.
Gazing at these people, everyone thought genius.
âWhat if I say yes?â asked Jiang Chen.
âHuh, donât be so arrogant. We are not here for your Heavenly Palace. In fact, few people in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts take the Heavenly Palace seriously,â the youngster said.
It was the first time Jiang Chen and he had met, but he sounded full of hostility. It was easy to imagine why.
âAre you here to tell me that?â asked Jiang Chen.
âOf course not. Iâm only here to tell you and the others that the Sovereign Path has started,â said the white-clothed youngster coldly.
âThe Sovereign Path?â
Jiang Chen frowned, while Ao Yue and the others went into an uproar. They all knew what that meant.
âYouâve been qualified for the Sovereign Path. But, of course, if you really go, itâll take plenty of guts, because the Junior Human Emperor is my younger brother.â
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes. An aggressive and overwhelming energy broke out.
However, before Jiang Chen could say anything, he turned around to walk into the swirl from the channel that was disappearing.
âMy name is Xia Jiang. If you come to the Sovereign Path, I will absolutely kill you!â
After saying that, he and his companions all vanished.
A golden card flew into Jiang Chenâs hand.
They came all of a sudden and also left all of a sudden.
Those from the Seventh Realm had no idea at all what had just happened, but Ao Yue and the others looked pretty serious.
âIâm doomed. Iâm doomed.â
The white-robed man totally freaked out. He had no idea what the Sovereign Path was about, but he knew what had happened just now meant the Eighth Realm had implicitly acknowledged the existence of the Heavenly Palace.
And there was no hope left for him at all.
