Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1339

Chapter 1339: Holy Land Lunar Palace

When the Cyclic Astral Lord's smile disappeared, the originally harmonious atmosphere between the two instantly vanished, turning silent and suppressive.

For some reason, Xiao Chen felt incomparably at ease. He relaxed without any regrets at all.

Perhaps it was because he had an innate dislike for pretense and wearing a mask. When communicating with others, he did not like interacting with those wearing masks.

That way, it would not be interesting; rather, it would be depressing. This was what Xiao Chen's character was like. Even if the other party was a Prime, Xiao Chen was not willing to interact with him while wearing masks.

The Cyclic Astral Lord said indifferently, "Xiao Chen, not to mention that you have not even advanced to Martial Emperor yet, even if you had, you would still be just a minor character in my eyes. Don't place yourself on such a high pedestal. You simply do not understand the world I see."

Xiao Chen smiled calmly. "What's there not to understand? Isn't it just that you are trapped at Prime with no way out. Despite that, you do not have the same courage to do as the Thunder Sovereign did, to dare to take a path that no one dared to take.

"Your current accomplishment is not enough to fulfill your ambition and desire. Even if it is the Cyclic Astral Palace, as long as it can fulfill your ambition, you can cast it aside easily."

"Whoos.h.!.+"

The ambient temperature suddenly plummeted. The two were clearly not far from the Solar True Flame, but Xiao Chen felt a chill down his back, his heart turning cold.

The Cyclic Astral Lord did not say anything. However, he could not cover up his murderous intent, which leaked out.

"Continue!" the Cyclic Astral Lord said, enunciating every syllable. His face sank, but there was no trace of any emotional fluctuations.

An ordinary person would not dare to continue speaking under such circ.u.mstances, lest he should truly anger the Astral Lord into killing him.

Xiao Chen did not mind. Having already figured out what kind of person the other party was, he had nothing to fear.

Furthermore, he firmly believed that this Cyclic Astral Lord would not dare to make a move on him.

"You previously rejected the Deity Race for only one reason. The Deity Race's offer won't allow you to leave this abandoned land. This Kunlun Realm's great chaos, the Demonic Calamity, the life-and-death of the Cyclic Astral Palace have nothing to do with you. You have already grown tired of them all.

"Only me. You can see the hope of leaving the abandoned land only in me." Xiao Chen gave his a.n.a.lysis after organizing the information in his head.

Of the Primes Xiao Chen met, Ying Zongtian had a similar ambition, wanting to leave the abandoned land. However, worry filled the depths of his heart; he could not put down the Supreme Sky Sect and the friends he had in the Kunlun Realm.

Even if there really was a chance to leave this abandoned land, Ying Zongtian might not be able to resolve himself to leave.

This Cyclic Astral Lord was different. As long as there was the opportunity, even if it resulted in the burial of the entire Cyclic Astral Palace, he would be happy to take it. So long as he could fulfill his desires, he could give up everything else.

As for that Myriad-Law Fiend Master, he had already seen past everything. He would just follow his heart. If it worked, it worked. If it did not, it did not. He would leave everything to fate.

Xiao Chen did not bother trying to avoid any taboo; he simply spoke directly.

The Cyclic Astral Lord smiled faintly. "You are really good at guessing. However, you will never guess that the Northern Sea Alliance that you feel the most a.s.sured about is currently embroiled in internal conflict. You also would not be able to guess that no matter how hard you work, with just one sentence from the Lunar Palace, all the Holy Lands will change their minds."

Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. The fluctuations in his heart showed on his face. The Cyclic Astral Lord revealed another smile.

"With just a sentence from you, I can help you settle the internal conflict of the Northern Sea Alliance and re-refine the Cycle Banner, and also give you some Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame."

"What sentence?"

The Cyclic Astral Lord shed his pretense and took out a scarlet stone. Then, he stated what he wanted. "This is a Heavenly Will Stone and came from the Heavenly Dao. As long as you make an oath that you will bring me away from this abandoned land within one hundred years, it will be fine."

Oath Stone! Little Three, who was in the mirror, suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing her voice made Xiao Chen rejoice as he asked, Little Three, you are awake?

Hehe! What nonsense! Elder Brother White Robes, if I am not awake, then how is Little Three speaking to you? Elder Brother White Robes, you have to be cautious of this Oath Stone. If you are unable to accomplish what you pledged, all your oaths will take effect.

This stunned Xiao Chen. Unexpectedly, such a strange thing existed.

The Cyclic Astral Lord continued, "If you are unable to accomplish it, you will die of your heart shattering!"

The other Holy Masters focused on favors and friends.h.i.+p. This Cyclic Astral Lord dealt in cautious transactions. There were no emotions involved.

Or perhaps the pride in the Cyclic Astral Lord's heart made him disdain to speak about favors with someone of Xiao Chen's level.

No one in the Kunlun Realm could catch the Cyclic Astral Lord's eyes.

The person before Xiao Chen was extremely scary. If he really helped this person leave the abandoned land, the other party would definitely make a move on him in the future. It was equal to establis.h.i.+ng a strong opponent for himself as a result of the benefits before him.

Xiao Chen repeatedly weighed the merits and drawbacks in his mind. After a while of silence, he said, "Deal!"

The Cyclic Astral Lord smiled faintly. "Even if you can figure my heart out, you can't reject my offer. No matter how great your accomplishments are in the future, you are only destined to hand them all to me!"

After speaking, the Cyclic Astral Lord tossed the Oath Stone to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen held the Oath Stone in his hand and gave the other party a deep glance. This was a gamble. However, at this point, he needed to gamble; he had no other choice but to do so.

Xiao Chen was different from the Cyclic Astral Lord. Be it the Supreme Sky Sect or the Northern Sea Alliance, they were existences that he could not give up.

Even though the other party's offer was not beneficial to him, Xiao Chen needed to agree to it.

"I, Xiao Chen, swear to bring the Cyclic Astral Lord to leave this abandoned land within one hundred years. Failing which, I will die of my heart shattering!"

After Xiao Chen made the oath, the mysterious rock melted in his palm. It flowed into his body and vanished.

When the Cyclic Astral Lord saw Xiao Chen complete the oath, he revealed a satisfied expression. He said, "Stay here for three days. You may extract however much Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame you can handle."

Xiao Chen said sullenly, "Let me ask you this: do you know the location of the Thunder Sovereign?"

"Why the need to ask? Since you already made the oath, you will take the same path as the Thunder Sovereign sooner or later. Just calm yourself and refine the flames here. Think carefully about how you are going to deal with the Lunar Palace. I can only help you with the problems of the Northern Sea Alliance."

The Cyclic Astral Lord floated off after leaving these words.

Upon seeing that the other party was gone, Little Three immediately leaped out of the Immortal Spirit Ring. Ao Jiao quickly followed her and looked at the Solar True Flame in a daze.

Xiao Chen knew that Ao Jiao was thinking. He asked, "Ao Jiao, can this flame help Little Yellow Feather recover?"

Ao Jiao shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. The Solar Divine Flame is even stronger than the Solar True Flame. However, the Solar True Flame here is already at the peak. Furthermore, it has settled here for tens of thousands of years. So, it is hard to say."

"In that case, we should just give it a try. Since this Cyclic Astral Lord already agreed to give me three days, I should put it to full use."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he placed the Golden Crow Egg in the Solar True Flame.

Then, a beam of light appeared from both of his eyes and quickly spun in circles.

A suction took form, and the Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame in the vast flame pool turned into beams of light continuously entering his eyes.

As Xiao Chen sat cross-legged, he absorbed the flames and refined them at the same time.

While doing this, he thought about the Cyclic Astral Lord's words. Internal conflict broke out in the Northern Sea Alliance.

Without him even needing to guess, it was definitely the Deity Dao Union causing trouble from within. Since the Cyclic Astral Lord agreed to deal with it, Xiao Chen did not need to think about it for now.

What he needed to think about was how to deal with the problem that was the Lunar Palace. The Lunar Palace having such a strong influence was entirely outside his expectations.

The Deity Dao Union continuously hara.s.sed him, trying to prevent him from contacting the other Holy Lands, spending all their trump cards on him.

The other side probably thought the same way as well. As long as they placed all their resources on the Lunar Palace and successfully convinced them, they would be able to turn the situation around in one go.

How should Xiao Chen deal with the Lunar Palace?

The Lunar Palace already said long ago that Bright Moon City would not welcome him, the Azure Emperor's descendant.
