While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 393 The Way to Eradicate the Curse

A ray of light pierced through the mist, and the moment two figures stepped through the air, the swirling fog seemed to have met its nemesis, quietly dissipating. The deathly silence of the barren wilderness was completely dispelled by the gentle yet powerful spiritual energy.

The first person was dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face; it was none other than Bodhi, whom they had not seen for several months.

Beside him was a girl in a black gauze dress; she was petite and looked quite cute.

However, both Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing could sense that the girl's body was filled with surging spiritual power, making her a genuine high-level Earthly Sovereign. Anyone who underestimated her because of her appearance would likely suffer a great loss.

"True Emperor, you're being unfair. You knew I was heading your way, and not only did you not wait for me, you're running further and further away."

Bodhi landed ahead of the two and chuckled lightly, teasing them.

After several months apart, the two showed no signs of estrangement.

Especially in this vast world, those who come from the same lower plane must look after each other.

Even sworn enemies like Soul Emperor and Xiao Xuan, who were originally unlikely to coexist, put aside many of their grudges, not to mention Chen Xiao and Bodhi, who already had a good relationship.

Hearing Bodhi's complaints, Chen Xiao chuckled: "I haven't left the Northern Border yet, so it doesn't matter whether we meet sooner or later. I'm just here to take care of some small matters."

Upon hearing this, Bodhi turned his gaze to Qing Yanjing behind Chen Xiao.

Although Qing Yanjing's face was veiled, making it impossible to see her features, her noble air was undeniable, and her curvaceous figure made her an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Most importantly, she is clearly not very old, yet her strength is beyond even Bodhi's comprehension, which is enough to show that her talent and background are extremely remarkable.

Thinking this, Bodhi couldn't help but nod inwardly. With top-notch conditions in all aspects, she was more than qualified to be the seventh empress of the Dou Qi Continent.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao was unaware of Bodhi's thoughts; otherwise, he would probably be extremely frustrated.

While he was often accompanied by beautiful women on the Dou Qi Continent, those relationships developed gradually and naturally, and he never truly acted recklessly.

In particular, Chen Xiao had made a promise to Xun'er, and he has kept that promise all these years.

Therefore, Bodhi's idea is completely unrealistic.

"Is this the domain lord of the Great Luo Heaven Domain?"

Bodhi was observing Qing Yanjing, while Chen Xiao was observing Mandala.

Even without exchanging names, Chen Xiao was already certain of the other person's identity just by looking at their unique appearance.

Bodhi nodded slightly, his smile fading a little, and said seriously, "She is considered one of my clansmen. I brought her here to see you to ask for your opinion. You should be able to tell the details."

Mandala stepped forward at this moment, her small face earnestly bowing to Chen Xiao: "Mandala greets the True Emperor."

After speaking, he didn't forget to give Qing Yanjing a polite smile, and the latter nodded slightly as a response.

Chen Xiao didn't need to sense the mandala's condition; he remembered it very clearly.

Under their gazes, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we get to the Great Luo Heaven Domain. This isn't the place to discuss this."

After greeting the two, Chen Xiao turned to look at Qing Yanjing.

Logically speaking, Qing Yanjing has achieved her goal of coming to Tianluo Continent. After some guidance, she has come to her senses and should now go her separate ways.

However, judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

What are your plans for the future?

Tianluo Continent doesn't belong to Chen Xiao, so he shouldn't interfere with other people's decisions. He was just making conversation and asking casually.

"I left the clan this time for training, without a specific destination. I'll just go wherever I end up. This is my first time in Tianluo Continent. If the Domain Lord of Daluo Heaven doesn't mind, I'd like to visit Daluo Heaven as well." Qing Yanjing pondered for a moment, then looked at Mandala and said.

Going out to gain experience is for the purpose of improving oneself.

In the past, when passing through other continents, Qing Yanjing was like a passerby. If there was an opportunity to be born, he would try to seize it. If there was no opportunity, he would just take a cursory look. Occasionally, when he encountered an opponent of similar strength, he would also have a spar.

Overall, it went very smoothly, and I didn't encounter any significant dangers or setbacks.

But things are different now. After two consecutive losses, her mindset has changed somewhat.

Since Chen Xiaoyuan is stronger than her, staying a little longer might allow her to learn something and improve further.

Upon hearing Qing Yanjing's words, both Chen Xiao and Bodhi looked at Mandala.

Mandala looked around, and soon a bright smile appeared on her little face.

"This is a fortunate event for our Great Luo Heaven Domain, how could we dare to complain?"

What could she do? She was just a minor Upper Earthly Sovereign; how could she possibly offend a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign?

Qing Yanjing nodded with a smile; no one was surprised by Mandala's words.

"Since that's the case, let's go together. The world is so vast, and you'll never reach the end by wandering aimlessly. When you're ready to leave, come find me, and I might be able to give you some advice."

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Xiao added another sentence.

The story of the blond-haired ghost and the rich girl is too melodramatic. It might have been entertaining when the characters were weak, but now that they've cultivated to this level, it sounds rather jarring.

The feeling was like being unjustly offended by a fellow expert of the same level.

Therefore, if possible, it's best not to let Qing Yanjing go to the Northern Spirit Realm.

As for the hidden danger of the Heavenly Evil God, Mu Chen in the original trajectory was able to deal with it. Chen Xiao has many advantages such as favorable timing, location, and human factors. His growth rate will definitely not be slower than Mu Chen's.

The Great Luo Heaven Domain, the Great Luo Heaven.

To show her respect for Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing, Mandala made no attempt to conceal her identity upon her return. In addition, she summoned her three emperors and kings to accompany her.

Mandala was somewhat worried. Now that three Earthly Sovereigns had arrived in the Great Luo Heaven Domain, even the weakest Bodhi was no less powerful than her. If she didn't let her subordinates meet them, given the arrogant and domineering nature of some of them, they might inadvertently offend them.

Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions and use this banquet as an excuse to prevent problems from arising in the first place.

At the banquet, after Mandala's introduction, the three emperors and kings were greatly shocked, and each of them had a very interesting expression.

Interestingly, some of these people only now truly know what their domain lord looks like.

Chen Xiao and his two companions paid no attention to what the group of powerful figures were thinking or doing. However, one person at the table caught Chen Xiao's eye a few more times.

.

She was a tall and slender woman, her exquisite figure wrapped in a black dress. When she stepped forward to greet me, I could see her more clearly: her legs were straight and slender, her waist was so thin that I could wrap my hand around it, and her neck was as elegant as a swan's. Her black hair fell down, and her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of wildness as she looked around. Her lively eyes were like burning black holes.

"Her true form is the Nine Nether Bird, ranked eleventh on the Ten Thousand Beasts Record Earth Ranking. She is a Heavenly-level spirit beast with ancient phoenix genes in her bloodline, giving her considerable potential. This is probably why she was able to be seated here today, despite her ordinary strength."

Noticing Chen Xiao's gaze, Qing Yanjing, sitting on the left, spoke softly.

She hadn't forgotten that Chen Xiao and Bodhi were both ascenders from lower planes, and she thought Chen Xiao didn't fully understand the vast world yet.

Little did she know, Chen Xiao knew far more than she could imagine!

The Nine Nether Bird is born in the Northern Darkness. Its wings can cover mountains, and its dark light can swallow the sun and moon!

This is a description of the Nine Nether Bird, which Chen Xiao had seen when he was in the Luo Shen Clan.

Of course, none of this was enough to make him pay too much attention to this woman. The reason he glanced at Jiuyou a few more times was ultimately because of the memories in his mind.

In the original timeline, this Nine Netherworld could be considered one of Mu Chen's major cheat codes.

Just like Yao Chen in Xiao Yan's storage ring, it played an indispensable role in his growth.

Unfortunately, Jiuyou is too weak now, having never undergone an evolution and still in its infancy.

"Pretty good. I think she has the potential to evolve into a phoenix," Chen Xiao said with a smile, withdrawing his gaze.

Hearing his evaluation, both Qing Yanjing and Mandala, who was in the main seat, were somewhat surprised.

In this vast world, there are countless spirit beasts that possess the bloodline genes of divine beasts, but only a very few can truly evolve and transform into divine beasts time and time again.

This Jiuyou, who received such high praise from Chen Xiao, could she be hiding some secret?

Thinking this, Mandala secretly decided that she would pay more attention to this woman in the future.

After several rounds of drinks, seeing that it was almost time, the three emperors and kings, with their keen sense of propriety, all rose, bowed, and took their leave. Suddenly, only four Earthly Sovereigns remained in the room.

"True Emperor, I wish to use Bodhi seeds to help Mandala eradicate the curse within her. What do you think?"

Watching the group of bystanders leave, Bodhi put down his wine cup and asked Chen Xiao a question.

Bodhi seeds have many uses, and are not just used for making medicine.

Bodhi was deeply affected by the negative emotions of the Dou Di, and it was with the help of Bodhi Seed and Chen Xiao and Cao Ying that he was able to completely get rid of them, so he is quite qualified to speak on this matter.

Chen Xiao understood Bodhi's thoughts, but after some thought, he shook his head slightly.

"Is this method inappropriate?" Bodhi asked with some doubt.

"Not really. It's just that the curse within Mandala is not simple. It's not difficult to suppress it using the effects of Bodhi seeds, but it's not easy to completely eradicate it. Even if it can be done in the end, it will take many years."

The curse within Mandala originated from Lu Huan's betrayal and ambush during the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Palace, in which a fatal curse was placed upon her. Over the years, the curse has long since begun to erode her soul, and even her intelligence has been gradually devoured. If Mandala had not been constantly suppressing the curse with the help of the Great Luo Golden Pool, she would probably have become a puppet long ago.

"I have two methods."

"First, don't worry about the curse in Mandala's body for now. Focus all your energy on improving your strength. When you break through to the Great Perfection of Earthly Sovereign, or even Heavenly Sovereign, the effect of the Bodhi Seed will be stronger. At that time, it will be very easy to help her get rid of the curse."

"As for the mandala, with the Great Golden Pool of Luo, the situation will not deteriorate much within decades, or even a hundred years."

"If you choose this option, I can provide you with some ways to enhance your strength, such as the traces of the Holy Spirit Pill that can help someone at the half-step Great Perfection stage advance to the Great Perfection stage."

Upon hearing this, both Mandala and Qing Yanjing widened their beautiful eyes slightly, especially the latter, who knew Chen Xiao's background and was very puzzled as to why someone who had ascended from a lower plane would know so much about the secrets of the Great Thousand World.

The Holy Spirit Pill is almost lost in the world today, and can only be found in some ruins. Even a behemoth like the Ancient Buddha Clan has no stock of it.

Bodhi, however, did not find anything strange. Long before entering the Great Thousand World, Chen Xiao had already told them a lot about the Great Thousand World.

Although all signs indicated that Chen Xiao had some secrets, Bodhi didn't care. He wasn't a woman and didn't have that much curiosity, so he wouldn't think about investigating.

"What about the second option?"

Bodhi did not rush to make a decision, but continued to inquire.

Even ordinary people compare prices before buying things, so one must be even more cautious about such a life-or-death matter.

"The second method is also very simple: the ancient celestial palace!"

Upon hearing this sensitive word, Mandala felt a slight tremor in her heart, and her expression became somewhat strange.

The doubt on Qingyan Jingqiao's face was even harder to hide.

"I also know something about the ancient Heavenly Palace. It is said that the Heavenly Emperor's legacy is in there. The most famous one is the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, one of the Thirty-Six Peerless Divine Powers. However, the ancient Heavenly Palace is ethereal and elusive. Countless people have searched for it but have gained nothing. When it will open is also unknown."

Chen Xiao nodded without arguing, "You're right. However, during my time searching for the ancient Heavenly Palace in the Tianluo Continent, I learned some of its secrets by chance."

"Normally, to open the Ancient Heavenly Palace, we can only wait for the Heavenly Emperor's seal to break. But there's always a chance for things to turn around. We can secretly push things forward and greatly accelerate the time it takes for the Ancient Heavenly Palace to emerge!"

In the original timeline, the opening of the ancient heavenly palace was a conspiracy.

What Chen Xiao wants to do now is to go with the flow!

"But what does this have to do with the curse within the mandala?" Bodhi became more and more puzzled as he listened.

"Of course there is a connection, because Mandala's true form is in the Ancient Heavenly Palace. The one in front of us right now is just a nascent clone. Once the Ancient Heavenly Palace is opened and she merges with her true form, she will not only be able to recover to her peak strength, but the foundation of the curse in her body will also be loosened. If she encounters some good fortune, she may be able to eradicate the curse without you even having to lift a finger. Even if there is no good fortune, it will be very easy for you to help her eradicate the curse."

Upon hearing this, both Bodhi and Qingyanjing looked at Mandala.

The latter remained silent, as if his secret had been exposed, and appeared somewhat dazed.

"If we can both find our original body and eradicate the curse, that would be the best outcome. However, this matter is probably not that easy."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Of course. Whether it's secretly pushing for the early opening of the Ancient Heavenly Palace or searching for the true form of the Mandala, we must prepare in advance. The same goes for my strength; I must raise it to the Heavenly Sovereign level to have absolute confidence in dealing with everything!"

"If you choose this option, we can then split up. You will be responsible for stirring up trouble, while I will focus my energy on breaking through to the Heavenly Supreme realm!"
