Chapter 430: Unexpectedly, the Divine Dragon has reached this step after all

"Alright."

Su Chen nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere remained quite stiff, Su Chen could not help but tease.

"We haven't even gone yet, and you all have such long faces; anyone who didn't know better would think you'd lost your husbands."

"Don't you dare say such unlucky things! My master will surely live for a hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxian became anxious in an instant and rushed over to cover Su Chen's mouth.

Su Chen hadn't expected her to react so strongly and nodded quickly; only then did Xiaoxian reluctantly lower her hand.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet; I won't die so easily."

Su Chen hurriedly assured them, "Besides, nothing has happened yet, so what are you afraid of? Rest isn't that scary; it's just that the person who wrote this prophecy loves to boast."

Although he said this, the possibility was almost zero.

The few of them saw through it but did not speak of it.

Seeing the current low spirits, Natasha pursed her lips and took the initiative to change the subject.

"By the way, Master, how did you know that the Token could disperse the poisonous miasma in the forest? You must know, even the Youji Nuhuang at that time was helpless against it."

Once she said this, Su Chen became animated.

"When I entered the Shengdi, I sensed it. At that time, the poisonous miasma was already faintly present, though not very strong. When the Dragon God appeared, he had a Token hanging from his waist. After he set up the barrier, he used that Token to absorb a portion of the poisonous miasma," Su Chen said with a smile.

Although that movement was very slight, and the space at that time was already nearly distorted and on the verge of collapse, Su Chen had still noticed it.

Once these words were spoken, Xiaoxian nodded thoughtfully and asked naively: "Even so, why didn't the Dragon God just absorb all the mist instead of leaving behind a barrier?"

This was a good question, and Su Chen was also curious why the Dragon God didn't just absorb all the poisonous miasma.

"If that Dragon God was truly the Divine Dragon Great Emperor, he would not be allowed to forcibly interfere with the karma of the Tianxuan Continent. The fact that he could do that much at the time was already a violation of the Heavenly Dao."

Ziwei Xianzi smiled slightly and continued, "By affecting the karma of the Tianxuan Continent, he likely suffered no small backlash for not being cast out."

"Moreover, based on what you saw, it is clear that the Divine Dragon Great Emperor had also helped the barbarian tribes before."

Yi Zhuyue added at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen also roughly understood what was going on.

In fact, Su Chen had never understood why the renowned Divine Dragon Great Emperor had chosen to enter the Tianxuan Continent in the first place.

After all, compared to the Immortal World, the Tianxuan Continent was merely an insignificant little plane, not even enough for ordinary immortals to stay in.

Yet at that time, the Divine Dragon Great Emperor had resolutely come here, and even ended up buried here later.

Could it be... that the Divine Dragon Great Emperor had discovered something? Although they knew a portion of the information, at this moment, even more mysteries shrouded everyone's hearts.

At this very moment in the Immortal World, Tianji Laoren and Moshen were engaged in a tense game of chess; to their side was a scene manifested by a water mirror.

What the water mirror presented was precisely the conversation Su Chen and the others had just had.

"I win, Moshen."

Tianji Laoren placed a piece, the white pieces completely occupying the priority position and forcing the black pieces into a dead end.

Moshen irritably touched his head; even though he was of advanced age, he had never beaten Tianji Laoren at chess. "Don't laugh, my mind was on the Divine Dragon just now, and I didn't have the extra energy to spare for you; I didn't expect you to take advantage of the loophole."

His words were purely stubbornness; after all, Moshen was not the only one keeping an eye on the water mirror, as Tianji Laoren was also multitasking.

However, Tianji Laoren saw through it but did not speak of it.

"Unexpectedly, the Divine Dragon has reached this step after all."

Tianji Laoren sighed and took the opportunity to lead the topic to the water mirror.

"I didn't expect it either; hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and even as his reincarnation, he is still so obsessed with that place."

Moshen also couldn't help but sigh, his gaze carrying a hint of nostalgia, "Back then, I had already tried to persuade him, but who knew..."

Speaking of this, Moshen's expression dimmed visibly.

"The Divine Dragon was already such a powerful existence at that time; who could have imagined that the Tianxuan Continent would have places capable of threatening him."

Tianji Laoren sighed leisurely.

"You say that, but didn't we already tell him the dangers of that trip at the time? But that was the Divine Dragon; how could he possibly not go just because of a few words?"

After hearing this, Moshen couldn't help but retort against Tianji Laoren; perhaps it was because he had just lost, so he was trying to make excuses for himself.

Tianji Laoren laughed: "That place is, after all, the Divine Dragon's former burial ground. None of us know what happened back then; now we can just use Su Chen's eyes to see what exactly happened inside."

As the words fell, both of their expressions became very grave.

"The Divine Dragon of the past fell once; now that Su Chen is merely in the small Great Saint Realm, can he really do it?"

Moshen couldn't help but say, "We waited hundreds of thousands of years to finally wait for the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon; if Su Chen dies again, we don't know how much longer we will have to wait."

This was true, and Tianji Laoren did not know how to respond for a moment, falling into a rare silence.

"Moreover, you know that the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor will absolutely not let this go. Although we have been trying to suppress him and he cannot meddle in the Tianxuan Continent, as time goes on, there is no guarantee he won't act impulsively and do something."

Moshen looked at Tianji Laoren with worry, carefully explaining the stakes involved.

"He is the Divine Dragon, so what if it is dangerous? Hundreds of thousands of years ago, we couldn't stop the Divine Dragon, and now, we still cannot stop the Divine Dragon."

After Tianji Laoren finished speaking, he revealed a helpless smile, "After all, he is the Divine Dragon."

Indeed, this was exactly the kind of thing the Divine Dragon would do.

The Divine Dragon was revered and respected by so many, not just because his cultivation was sufficiently powerful, but also because of his own personal charisma.

"Everything now is the Divine Dragon's own destiny; we shall just watch quietly."

Tianji Laoren said in a deep voice.

While they restricted the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor from meddling in the Tianxuan Continent, they had actually restricted themselves as well, unable to help Su Chen any further.

And on the other side of the Immortal World, the man resting on the throne suddenly opened his eyes, a strong killing intent erupting from them.

A massive surge of Spiritual Power instantly filled the entire palace.

Within the empty palace, the entire structure seemed to tremble three times, driven by the Spiritual Power.

The man seated high above was dressed in magnificent attire, his brows and eyes carrying a hint of aged weariness, yet his face did not look old, and his eyes held a touch of divinity, though they also contained too many complex emotions.
