Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The Celestial Secret Pavilion’s Void Ship was incredibly fast.

It flew straight into the sky, soaring tens of thousands of feet high to break through the air above the clouds.

The experts sitting inside the Void Ship were all quietly recuperating, adjusting themselves to their peak condition.

The three powerful figures, the Asura Blood Emperor, the Celestial Secret Elder, and Emperor Feixue, were all in secluded cultivation within their respective cabins. Everything seemed exceptionally calm.

After all...

They knew that even if the Ice Emperor and the others managed to summon the location of the Mystic Sect, they wouldn’t be able to enter it.

Therefore, none of them were in a hurry!

Sitting in his cabin, Jiang Chen’s blood qi pulsed and his True Essence fluctuated. After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. ’My cultivation has advanced too quickly, leaving my foundation somewhat unstable. Calming my mind to cultivate like this is actually a great benefit!’

The practice of the Martial Dao was like building a house.

If the foundation wasn’t stable, no matter how tall or magnificent the building, it would always be at risk of collapsing!

In the past, Jiang Chen had always fueled his progress with battle, honing himself and polishing his cultivation in the midst of combat.

The drawbacks of his rapid advancement hadn’t been very obvious, but now that he had calmed down to cultivate, he discovered the hidden danger, like a tiny flaw in a piece of perfect jade.

Fortunately, the problem wasn’t major, and Jiang Chen quickly resolved it!

"Jiang Chen, you’re finally awake!" Gai Shi’s voice came from the side. He was winking and making faces at him.

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

Gai Shi was shirtless, with beads of sweat dripping down his torso.

Jiang Chen asked quizzically, "Shouldn’t you be cultivating? What are you doing?"

"I am cultivating! A group of us are sparring on deck. My battle armor just got destroyed, so I came back to change into a new set and happened to see you wake up..." Gai Shi said with a grin, taking a new suit of battle armor from a nearby cabinet. These had all been prepared for them by the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

After Gai Shi put on the battle armor, his steps became extremely heavy. He twisted his body and swung his arms, saying with satisfaction, "Looks like this training is really working. Before, when I wore the fifty-times gravity battle armor, I found it very difficult to move. Now I can move around easily even while wearing the sixty-times armor!"

"Jiang Chen, what multiple of gravity is your battle armor?" Gai Shi looked at Jiang Chen curiously.

Every suit of battle armor was engraved with a series of gravity Inscriptions.

The weakest had three times gravity, while the strongest went up to a full one hundred times gravity.

Jiang Chen was also wearing a suit of battle armor, constantly enduring one hundred times gravity!

He smiled but didn’t answer Gai Shi’s question, instead saying, "Sparring? That sounds like fun. I’ll go with you and check it out!"

"That’s great! Haha!"

Gai Shi grinned widely. "Let’s go, let’s go! Let me tell you... this time, my Luotian Dynasty, the Flying Snow Dynasty, and the Celestial Secret Pavilion have all brought their top experts. A few of them are as strong as, if not stronger than, Long Jingtian. Especially the one from my Luotian Dynasty. He’s from the same era as Long Jingtian and used to have the upper hand against him. He’s very interested in you, you know!"

"Is that so? Tell me, who are these experts?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Gai Shi was silent for a moment before saying, "From your perspective, an ordinary Human Emperor wouldn’t even catch your eye. Later, you just need to pay attention to three people: the one from my Luotian Dynasty, Snow Vajra from the Flying Snow Dynasty, and Fox Mei’Er from the Celestial Secret Pavilion. That’s it!"

When he mentioned Fox Mei’Er, a look of infatuation appeared on Gai Shi’s face.

This couldn’t help but make Jiang Chen curious.

’Just what kind of charm does this Fox Mei’Er have to make even Gai Shi look like that?’

「A short while later...」

They arrived on the deck.

At that moment, two figures were sparring on the deck.

The first thing that caught his eye was a young woman in a short pink skirt and a low, round-collared top. The expanse of white at her chest was striking.

"Charming Flower!"

The young woman’s voice was nimble as her hands flew out.

Pink flowers materialized in her palms, gathering into a sea of blossoms that surged forward.

On the other side was a burly figure, like a humanoid Fierce Beast. His fists were the size of human heads, and his skin and hair were all snow-white.

With a single punch, the void trembled and a fierce wind erupted.

This terrifying power was unleashed using only his physical strength, without even drawing upon his True Essence.

’What a tyrannical physique. With his physical strength alone, this man could contend with an ordinary master at the Seventh Stage, or even the Eighth Stage, of the Human Emperor Realm!’ Jiang Chen was secretly shocked.

"That’s Snow Vajra of the Flying Snow Dynasty. He is a Direct Disciple of Emperor Feixue and possesses Innate Divine Strength. It’s said he has the bloodline of an Ancient Snow Ape! He’s the one who shattered my battle armor just now!"

A solemn look flashed in Gai Shi’s eyes as he looked at the burly young man. He continued, "The one facing him is Fox Mei’Er from the Celestial Secret Pavilion. She’s a woman, after all, so she’s at a great disadvantage in a fight with Snow Vajra. She’s definitely no match for him!"

"She’s definitely going to lose this fight. But as for whether she truly can’t beat Snow Vajra... that remains to be seen!" Jiang Chen gave a mysterious smile. His calm gaze swept across the crowd, pausing for a moment on a slender figure in red.

The figure in red also noticed Jiang Chen. An ecstatic expression appeared on her face, and she waved at him. But since the two on the deck were still fighting, she couldn’t come over right away. She could only watch with an anxious face, hoping the fight would end quickly!

Just then...

Snow Vajra suddenly let out a low roar, "Avalanche Technique—"

BOOM!

A fierce fist shadow smashed forward.

Under the incomparably ferocious fist, the splendid, flying flowers were instantly shattered. The pink blossoms exploded on impact, and the charming young woman’s expression changed slightly.

"Hahaha, Mei’er, it seems I have the slight upper hand!" the burly, white-haired young man said with a laugh like rumbling thunder.

The soft flesh on the pink-skirted girl’s chest trembled, a dazzling sight. She covered her mouth with a slender hand and said with a charming smile, "Brother Xuue possesses Innate Divine Strength. I am no match for you!"

"Hahaha..."

The burly young man let out a hearty laugh, a hint of pride on his face. He looked toward a young woman in red leather armor behind him, his eyes filled with passion. "Hong Luan, I won again!" he said with a smile.

However...

The Hong Luan that Snow Vajra spoke to completely ignored him.

With a joyful expression, as if she had just seen the man of her dreams, she took off running with delight. She brushed past Snow Vajra and rushed directly in front of Jiang Chen, grabbing his arm under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd.

"Jiang Chen, I thought I’d never see you again in this lifetime... Do you have any idea how upset I was when you just left Purple Wind City without even saying goodbye?" Zhao Hongluan hugged Jiang Chen’s arm tightly, looking up at him with a mournful expression.

Jiang Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose and discreetly pulled his arm free. "I left in a bit of a hurry at the time and didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. My apologies!" he said with a smile.

"Hmph! If you ever dare to leave without a word again, I definitely won’t let you off the hook!" Zhao Hongluan huffed.

Jiang Chen felt a headache coming on. "..."

Just as he was about to speak, he felt an ice-cold gaze fall upon him. At the same time, a rough voice boomed, "Brat, stay away from Hong Luan, or I’ll beat you every time I see you!"
