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

Chapter 395 White Dragon Supreme

Qing Yanjing played around casually for a quarter of an hour before her interest gradually waned.

Chen Xiao never urged her or disturbed her; he simply stood quietly to the side, letting the sunlight fall on her figure.

As she straightened up, raised her hand to tidy her hair, which had been ruffled by the mountain wind, and turned around, she bumped right into Chen Xiao's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, Qing Yanjing was startled at first, and then belatedly realized that she had not put her veil back on. Her fair ears instantly flushed with a light blush.

She subconsciously took out the veil to put it back on, but her fingertips stopped just as they touched the edge of the thin veil, and she pulled it back instead.

Chen Xiao calmly withdrew his gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips, and slowly said, "I noticed you always wore a veil before, and I thought your Futu Ancient Clan had some special rules."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing gave a light snort, but there was no trace of annoyance in her eyes; her shimmering eyes remained astonishingly bright.

She walked to Chen Xiao's side, her tone tinged with helplessness: "When I'm out training, if I keep revealing my aura, I'll definitely miss out on a lot of interesting things. But if I conceal my aura, I'll inevitably attract some unnecessary trouble. So I came up with this method, and over time, it's become a habit."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. Some things are the same no matter where you go or what plane you are in.

After all, men only pursue a few things, but some know how to restrain themselves while others indulge in their desires.

"I understand." He changed the subject, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "But I'm curious, after you put on the veil, the trouble you've attracted is probably even greater, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at him with surprise: "How did you know?"

Chen Xiao simply smiled faintly and did not offer any further explanation.

The beauty of ambiguity is what truly captivates the imagination; the ancient Chinese phrase "still holding a pipa, half-concealing her face" perfectly captures its charm.

Even when he occasionally caught a glimpse of her delicate chin hidden under the thin veil, or the way her eyebrows curved when she smiled, during their journey together over the past six months, a sense of curiosity would always stir within him, and he would want to see just how stunningly beautiful this master of spirit arrays truly was.

If even he could have such thoughts, one can only imagine how those who meet her for the first time would be captivated by her mesmerizing eyes and would go to great lengths to lift the veil and see her in all her glory.

"We can talk about these trivial matters later. Now, let's get down to business." Chen Xiao's smile faded, and his gaze returned to the misty mountain peak.

"Should I?" Qing Yanjing raised an eyebrow.

"Of course," Chen Xiao said seriously, "you have to feel involved."

This sounds noble, but it's really just a way to shirk responsibility.

Qing Yanjing could easily tell what was going on. She immediately rolled her eyes at him, but did not refuse. With a flicker of her figure, she flew to the small lake formed by the rushing water of the waterfall.

The White Dragon Supreme's methods are indeed remarkable. He concealed the spiritual treasure so perfectly that even if an ordinary person spent several years or even decades in this place before it was revealed, they would have no chance of finding even a trace of it.

Unfortunately, despite his lifelong arduous cultivation, he was ultimately trapped in the realm of supreme beings.

Those deceptive tactics were utterly insignificant in the eyes of Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing, two powerful Earthly Sovereigns at the Great Perfection stage. They were like child's play, easily seen through at a glance.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qing Yanjing's jade-like hands moved swiftly, and spiritual seals began to swirl and circulate around her.

Her gaze was calm as she stared at the clear, mirror-like lake at her feet, which reflected her face perfectly. With a flick of her finger, the spiritual imprints scattered like shooting stars, disappearing into the surrounding void and the picturesque landscape.

In an instant, strange light broke through the water layer on the once tranquil lake surface, seeping out in wisps and condensing into a thin mist on the lake surface.

At the same time, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became violent and turbulent, rushing towards the lake surface at an extremely fast speed.

A moment later, a bright moon rose into the sky in broad daylight, its clear light casting a dreamlike glow over the entire valley.

call out!

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered more and more intensely, the light of the sun and moon became increasingly dazzling.

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing, a hazy light and shadow slowly appeared from where the moonlight and the lake water met.

The figure was dressed in a white robe, its outline extremely blurry, but on the hem of the robe, a white dragon totem was lifelike, with distinct scales and claws. Accompanied by a supreme level of pressure, it suddenly swept across the entire valley.

"roar!"

A dragon's roar pierced through gold and split rocks, and as light and shadow appeared, it suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The calm lake water suddenly surged with huge waves, and the vast mist seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, condensing into a lithe white dragon phantom, which hovered beside the light and shadow. With each opening and closing of its eyes, it exuded an awe-inspiring majesty.

This is merely a spiritual image left behind by the White Dragon Supreme. Its sole purpose is to open the spiritual treasure at specific times, and it possesses no intelligence or consciousness whatsoever.

"Should we cover up the noise?" Qing Yanjing landed beside Chen Xiao, looked up at his ever-calm face and asked.

"No need. We'll just take the White Dragon Spirit Pearl. Let others fight over the rest. This suddenly appearing spiritual treasure might even cultivate a few supreme talents for the Northern Cang Continent," Chen Xiao said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Within this spiritual treasure trove, only the White Dragon Spirit Pearl could attract him.

Apart from that, even the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar held no appeal for him or Qing Yanjing, let alone anything else.

In the original timeline, the Dragon Demon Palace of the Northern Cang Continent had long coveted the White Dragon Spirit Treasure. When the Spirit Treasure appeared, the major powers of the Northern Cang Continent seized the opportunity, leaving almost no ordinary people with a chance.

Now that the Spirit Treasure has been born so many years ahead of schedule, even the Dragon Demon Palace, which knows the White Dragon Supreme best, would not have expected it. Ordinary people, if they are lucky, may have a chance to get there first.

"I didn't expect you to have such a wicked sense of humor." Qing Yanjing smiled and immediately gave up on the idea of ​​concealing the commotion.

Above the lake, the radiant figure of the White Dragon Supreme raised his hand. The moment his palm lifted slightly, the white dragon phantom beside him roared, and ten thousand dazzling rays of light suddenly shot out. The light was as intense as the rising sun, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. The lake below also boiled in response, with water splashing everywhere, creating a terrifying scene.

call out!call out!

Among the myriad rays of light, five beams of light stood out, like pillars supporting the sky, shooting straight toward the five towering peaks in the valley.

laugh!

The beam of light precisely entered the waterfall cascading down from the mountain peak, cutting off the water flow. The beam of light, however, continued its momentum, shining directly onto the steep mountain wall below the waterfall.

Click!Click!

Immediately following, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out, and the boulders on the surface of the mountain wall fell off one by one, rolling down. Amidst the rising dust, five huge runes carved deep into the mountain wall were finally revealed. The runes were ancient and simple, exuding the vicissitudes of time.

"Buzz—!"

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing, the ancient talisman suddenly lit up, with streams of light flowing across the runes. Then, the talisman detached from the mountain wall and transformed into five golden streams of light, which swirled and converged above the lake, eventually coalescing into one place.

Roar!

The white dragon phantom roared again, its tail swishing as it charged straight toward the point where the runes were condensing.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth, so bright it was blinding. The space above the lake began to distort violently, and as the ripples spread, a massive vortex of light, tens of feet in size, took shape.

boom!

A beam of light suddenly burst forth from the center of the vortex, soaring straight into the sky. Within the beam, a gigantic white dragon phantom tumbled and danced, its roar resounding for miles around. Such a magnificent sight could be clearly seen even by creatures far away on the edge of White Dragon Hill.

"Let's go inside and get our things."

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the two of them transformed into two streaks of light and flew straight into the enormous vortex of light.

After a period of chaotic spatial fluctuations, a wave of intense heat followed.

What appeared in their field of vision was an extremely vast lava lake, in which fiery red lotus flowers floated, and within those lotus flowers, flames burned, and within those flames, thumb-sized fiery red lotus seeds were burning.

This is the Fiery Spirit Lotus, a rare and precious natural treasure for those below the Supreme Realm. Its lotus seeds are formed from the extremely pure fire spiritual power of heaven and earth, possessing the miraculous effects of tempering bones and refining essence and blood, which is of great benefit to cultivation.

Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing glanced over without lingering, their steps never faltering, their figures moving at lightning speed like two streaks of light.

The restrictions that attempted to block the two collapsed on their own without even causing a ripple in the face of the aura emanating from them.

Ignoring numerous restrictions and the obstruction of spirit beasts, and passing through clusters of stone palaces, the two soon arrived at a massive black basin, roughly ten thousand feet in size.

Within the basin, there are towering black stone pillars that rise into the sky.

The stone pillars are scattered throughout the basin, each reaching a height of thousands of feet. On the stone pillars, some patterns can still be vaguely seen, but due to the passage of time, those patterns seem to have become somewhat blurred.

There is nothing else besides that.

"Xiao Jing—"

As soon as Chen Xiao opened his mouth, Qing Yanjing knew what he was going to say. She rolled her eyes at him and walked away helplessly.

Immediately, Qing Yanjing formed a hand seal and slammed his palm down into the air above the basin.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within this space suddenly began to become chaotic.

"The seal set up by the White Dragon Supreme is very simple. Even if we don't take action, we only need to wait until the sun and moon converge, when the spiritual energy in this space becomes disordered, and the seal will appear. When we destroy it, the true spiritual treasure will be revealed."

After finishing his attack, Qing Yanjing stood still, waiting for the true spiritual treasure to appear.

They could have easily and forcibly seized the spirit treasure, but since they had entered someone else's home and only wanted one of the items, there was no need to destroy the entire house.

They didn't have to wait long, less than a quarter of an hour, before they saw the towering black stone pillars in the basin begin to emit a faint glow.

As the light surged, the light patterns on the black stone pillar seemed to come alive, slowly wriggling along the pillar's surface.

call out!

As the light patterns rippled, thousands of rays of light suddenly shot out from within the black stone pillar.

These rays of light intertwined, weaved, and arranged themselves within the black basin, and in an instant, a sky full of light spread out, layer upon layer, enveloping the entire black basin and transforming it into a light curtain thousands of feet in size.

"It seems I won't need to take action this time," Qing Yanjing chuckled, her eyes crinkling.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the light screen.

As the two watched, ripples suddenly spread across the surface of the light screen, and a dazzling light rapidly converged at the center of the screen, gradually condensing into a blurry outline of light and shadow.

As the light slowly faded, the light and shadow became increasingly solid and visible.

It was a tall, slender figure dressed in a white robe, with long, snow-white hair cascading over his shoulders. His appearance was handsome, like that of a young man, and his eyes were entirely white, without a trace of black pupils. His appearance was quite peculiar.

The figure in white robes was exactly the same as the White Dragon Supreme that Chen Xiao and the other person had seen before, except that the face was many times clearer.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the light screen, his body surging with light, which faintly condensed into the phantom of a white dragon, circling and roaring beside him, the dragon's roar deep and majestic.

"I never expected that my humble status as a supreme being would attract two distinguished guests."

The White Dragon Supreme slowly opened his eyes, his face showing undisguised astonishment. He stood up, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said in a respectful tone, "White Dragon greets the two Supremes."

This figure was merely a remnant of his spiritual energy, yet even so, he could still clearly sense that Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing's strength far surpassed his peak strength in life, and they were definitely Earthly Sovereign level experts. However, he had no way of knowing their specific realms.

Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing both nodded in response.

"May I ask the purpose of your presence here, Your Excellencies?"

The White Dragon Supreme was filled with confusion. Although he had made a name for himself in his lifetime, he was not even worth mentioning in the eyes of true powerhouses. What merit did he have to alarm two Earth Supreme powerhouses?

After much thought, he realized that the only thing he might have that would catch their eye was the secret he had always kept.

However, he had never told anyone about that secret from beginning to end, so how could these two Earthly Sovereigns know it?

Meeting the gaze of the White Dragon Supreme, Chen Xiao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I've come for the Embryo of the Plane."

O

really!

The White Dragon Supreme felt a chill in his heart.

Chen Xiao's words also made the White Dragon Supreme understand that this was a top expert who had already reached the Great Perfection of the Earthly Supreme realm!

At this moment, the White Dragon Supreme had no time to delve into how Chen Xiao knew this long-buried secret; his mind was filled with the same thought.

That is, what kind of changes will Chen Xiao's appearance bring to that lower plane?

The arrival of a powerful Earthly Sovereign at the Great Perfection level may not be a good thing for beings in lower planes.

Unfortunately, even though the White Dragon Supreme wanted to do something and negotiate some terms, he knew clearly that from the moment Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing appeared here, he had no room to refuse.

Even if he gritted his teeth and refused to hand over the White Dragon Spirit Pearl, the two of them could easily take it away, and wouldn't even give him the slightest chance to destroy it.

Therefore, the current hesitation and silence are less a sign of inner conflict and more a response of helplessness.

Seeing the White Dragon Supreme's appearance, Chen Xiao could easily guess what he was thinking. He immediately chuckled and his words were like a reassuring pill.

"By chance, I have come to know about your past. I can tell you something else: I also ascended from a lower plane, so my understanding of the embryo of a plane is no less than yours."

Upon hearing this, the White Dragon Supreme's eyes lit up suddenly, and the worries in his heart receded like the tide, completely disappearing.

How could he not know that the most basic prerequisite for gaining the approval of the Plane Embryo is that one must not do anything to harm the plane to which it belongs?

In this way, if Chen Xiao were to descend, it would only bring benefits to that lower plane that was already in dire straits, and there would be absolutely no harm to it!

"I see."

The White Dragon Supreme sighed softly, then made a gesture with his hand.

Within the light barrier, a fist-sized white spirit pearl floated out and slowly hovered in front of Chen Xiao, radiating a warm glow.

Chen Xiao glanced at it and then put the spirit pearl into his storage ring.

"I have yet to ask the true names of the two venerable ones," the White Dragon Supreme asked respectfully.

"Chen Xiao".

"Qing Yan Jing".

Both of them were concise and to the point.

The White Dragon Supreme nodded slightly, clasped his hands in thanks again, and said with gratitude, "It is truly the White Dragon's good fortune to have met you two before our complete annihilation. The White Dragon is here to express gratitude on behalf of the beings of that plane to the future Venerable Chen for his protection!"

Once one steps into the realm of Heavenly Sovereign, one truly joins the ranks of the strongest beings in the Great Thousand Worlds, worthy of being called an ancestor and revered by all spirits.

Therefore, Bailong's words were both a sign of respect and a sincere prayer.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, not paying any attention to the title.

"Those in a position should naturally fulfill their duties."
