Chapter 1352 (Raw 1342 Repeat): End of the Ceremony
There was no need to doubt. The owner of this voice was the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master, the leader of the three Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master appeared in the sky with the bright moon as a backdrop and slowly descended. She wore a long azure dress and had colorful clouds around her.
After the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master landed, the entire plaza turned quiet. No one dared to say anything, not even breathe.
The reason was that everyone felt the rage of this Prime. She was already ready to kill.
Xiao Chen, whose back was facing her, felt the most pressure. The might of a Prime made one’s heart tremble and their body go cold.
This was the first time a Prime unleashed their aura on Xiao Chen. Only now did he understand how horrifying the strength of a Prime was. It was a level that he could not have imagined at all.
However, Xiao Chen did not turn his head or explain anything. Even though a Prime appeared, it was difficult for him to calm his emotions.
He flung his arm back, and the Bright Jade Fan left his hand. The fan opened in midair, radiating gentle bright light. The sound of a zither and melodious singing came from it as well.
When the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master saw the Bright Jade Fan flying over, it stunned her. She was clearly surprised.
She extended her hand and caught the Bright Jade Fan. Her gaze flickered, and her expression changed. Evidently, there was a decision she needed to make in her heart that was difficult to make.
Xiao Chen bent over and picked up the broken half of the Cloud Moon Saber. Then, he straightened and looked at the remaining half of the saber in Di Wuque’s hand. He said indifferently, “What you want is not this treasure saber that existed purely for the Saber Dao. Give it to me.”
After Xiao Chen spoke, he did not wait for Di Wuque to reject him. He simply stretched out his hand and took it. Somewhat distracted, Di Wuque did not struggle, letting him snatch it away easily.
“Mo Chen, let’s go.”
Xiao Chen’s figure floated away, arriving before Mo Chen. Then, he turned his head to face Yue Bingyun. After a smile, he led Mo Chen into the air.
Before everyone’s gazes, Xiao Chen left.
The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master wanted to say something. However, when she looked at the Bright Jade Fan in her hand, she thought back to what Xiao Chen said to Di Wuque. Then, she turned her head to look at the completely distracted Yue Bingyun who was on the platform watching Xiao Chen leave.
She sighed helplessly. Given her intelligence, how could she not understand by now what had happened?
It was all Yue Bingyun. Dissatisfied with the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master’s arrangement, she had used the Bright Jade Fan to allow Xiao Chen to enter the city and stop this Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony.
However, Yue Bingyun had not expected that while the Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony got wrecked, Xiao Chen’s saber would actually break the Cloud Moon Saber. She had not expected this at all; it was completely beyond her wildest imagination.
From now on, the wind lacked a shadow, and the clouds had no moon. The efforts and preparation of the Lunar Palace for the past thousand years, all the price they had paid, were wasted.
If the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master had known something like this would happen, perhaps she would not have organized this Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony.
As the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master watched Xiao Chen leave, slowly disappearing from Bright Moon City, she grasped the Bright Jade Fan tightly. In the end, she did not attack.
Perhaps, you are somewhat different from that demon.
The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master looked around, and her killing Qi disappeared. She turned to Di Wuque and asked, “Are you the Divine Son, Di Wuque?”
Di Wuque recovered his wits and nodded. “This junior is he. I was in a rush to come over and did not report in before suddenly arriving in Bright Moon City. I apologize for the offense.”
When facing this Prime, Di Wuque did not show any fear. He answered properly, displaying an atmosphere somewhat reminiscent of a major character.
The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master looked straight at Di Wuque as if she was trying to see through everything of Di Wuque, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After a while, the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master nodded slightly. “Not bad. Before advancing to Martial Emperor, you’ve already comprehended the Divine Spirit that is unique to the Deity Race, cultivating Heavenly Deity Energy. You are truly incredible. Come with me. Let’s have a chat.”
After being stunned for a moment, Di Wuque reacted. The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master was inviting him to meet her alone.
With the Cloud Moon Saber broken, the Lunar Palace no longer had the thing that they relied on the most. They probably had no other choice but to bow to the Deity Dao Union. When Di Wuque thought this, he could not help feeling joyful. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Many thanks for Palace Master’s invitation. Wuque is greatly honored!”
Di Wuque felt cocky in his heart. Although Xiao Chen appeared to be the one in the limelight during this Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony, all of Xiao Chen’s efforts ended up helping him out.
Without Xiao Chen breaking the Cloud Moon Saber, given the pride of the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master, it would not be possible for Di Wuque to meet her alone.
This was the thing that Xiao Chen worried about the most before coming to the Lunar Palace, yet it happened in the end.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen did not feel any regrets. He had figured his heart out long ago. This trip, he only aimed to help his friend. Since he had already achieved his goal, there was nothing to regret.
However, the final cry of the Cloud Moon Saber moved Xiao Chen deeply.
In Bright Moon City, as the many Holy Scions watched Di Wuque follow the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master to the Lunar Palace in the sky, their expressions changed somewhat.
The Holy Lands behind these Holy Scions had already been convinced by Xiao Chen and agreed to help the Supreme Sky Sect at the crucial moment.
However, now, the Lunar Palace seemed to show a change in attitude, making them somewhat nervous.
The Lunar Palace held rather strong influence in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. If the Lunar Palace sided with the Deity Dao Union, then the Supreme Sky Sect, which was originally barely holding on, would be in immediate peril.
These Holy Scions quickly rushed back to bring this news to their respective Holy Lands.
Aside from the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, who was unfazed, the various Holy Masters felt a slight change of heart.
This was especially so for the Cyclic Astral Lord. His reaction was the greatest. In his rage, he even scolded Chu Yang, the Holy Son ruthlessly, a rare occurrence.
The many Holy Masters only calmed down and relaxed after a certain piece of news spread three days later.
The Lunar Palace did not side with the Deity Dao Union; they only took half a step. They made a promise to Di Wuque that as long as the Deity Dao Union could destroy the Supreme Sky Sect, the Lunar Palace would join the Deity Dao Union without reservations.
This was not exactly bad news, and for the various Holy Lands, this was the best result.
After all, they already agreed to help Xiao Chen and bet their future on the Azure Dragon King. If the Lunar Palace sided with the Deity Dao Union and they went to help, there would not be any chance of victory.
Soon, half a month had passed since the Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony ended.
Nothing major happened in this past half month. Everyone discussed the Azure Dragon King, about his startling saber strike during the Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony.
The Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony had been very exciting, filled with ups and downs. It would be hard for it not to become a topic of conversation. This was especially so for Xiao Chen. In the end, he actually managed to break the Cloud Moon Saber and leave Bright Moon City alive. Everyone found this incredible.
Likewise, this saber strike came as a great shock to the Martial Emperor’s circle, inciting extensive discussion.
This was because Xiao Chen had taken a path that they had never seen before. Using the saber to control space, to suppress it, broke the Martial Emperor’s circle’s long-held view on domains; this concept was simply unimaginable.
For the past half month, Martial Emperors arrived in a constant stream at Heavenly Star Island to seek advice from Xiao Chen about the mysteries contained in that saber strike.
Xiao Chen did not hide anything, openly telling all the seekers what he understood.
On this particular day, Xiao Chen sent off a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor of the Storm Sea. Then, after he returned to his residence and was discussing with Mo Chen how to deal with the breaking of the Cloud Moon Saber, an unexpected guest arrived.
When Mo Chen saw this person, she was very surprised. “Miss Bingyun, weren’t you placed under house arrest? Why did you show up here?”
The one who came was Yue Bingyun, who was rumored to have been placed under house arrest after the Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony.
Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Chen. She said, “Now, I am already no longer the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter and can go anywhere I want.”
