Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Dragon Vein

Looking at Xuan Daozi’s demeanor, Chen Xiao pouted, "Alright, I’ll pick you up in four hours!"

Xuan Daozi hasn’t come down the mountain for twenty years or so. This sudden trip to the Capital City surely means he’s got something big to handle.

Ye Hongyi also walked over, "Junior Brother, the rumors from Yin Country are getting more intense. Now, all those top-notch experts around the world are eyeing that Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart; it’s not going to be simple to get your hands on it!"

Chen Xiao appeared calm, "No worries, what’s meant to be mine will definitely be mine!"

He had finally gathered the six main ingredients; now there’s only the last key ingredient left. No matter what, he couldn’t give up. Even if it meant standing against the world, he would acquire it!

Before long, Leng Baiyu called, "It’s time to prepare. In two days, the Hundred Countries Military Battle will begin, and all the truly elite from various countries are here."

Chen Xiao asked, "Kobe Tian Zhao and Lagude, aren’t they the top elites from their countries?"

Leng Baiyu replied, "That’s the official narrative, but in reality, every country has secret weapons. Don’t underestimate The Sun Never Sets Empire, Frank Empire, Italy... These old powers hide strong cards too."

"Even in Yang Country and Eagle Country, Kobe Tian Zhao and Lagude might not be the strongest among their participants."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao nodded.

"Understood."

Leng Baiyu said calmly, "This time, it’s a crucial battle concerning the national fate of Divine Land. Led by Eagle Country, those nations will surely join forces to suppress our participating members, so we face immense pressure."

"Tomorrow, you and the other four representing Divine Land will have an offline meet-up to get to know each other; this is the decision from above."

"Alright, you handle it," Chen Xiao said lightly, "Anyway, it’s best if I don’t run into those guys Kobe Tian Zhao and Lagude, or I might tear them apart on the spot!"

"The Hundred Countries Military Battle is not as harmonious as we imagine. In this fierce battle, deaths and injuries are inevitable, so strike as you will," Leng Baiyu said calmly, "We’ll have your back."

"By the way, after cultivating the Supreme Lady Scripture, I feel my essence is recovering swiftly," Leng Baiyu said. "In a few days, my cultivation should fully restore; just in time for the battle to end, I’ll accompany you to Yin Country."

Chen Xiao squinted slightly, "Senior Sister, isn’t it inconvenient for someone of your status to go there?"

"This Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart is not easy to seize; the risk is too great for you alone. With the two of us, we can watch each other’s backs. Don’t worry about my decision," Leng Baiyu remarked coldly.

Chen Xiao was speechless, how does this Senior Sister have the same character as that old man?

Suddenly, Chen Xiao asked, "Senior Sister, do you know why the old man suddenly came to the Capital City?"

Leng Baiyu was silent for a moment and said, "Seems like it’s because the Dragon Vein is about to awaken."

"Dragon Vein?" Chen Xiao was astonished.

"Yes," Leng Baiyu replied, "He told me so. I don’t know much about the Dragon Vein, but the old man said this is an unprecedented change in Divine Land in hundreds of years, with vast impacts, so he came down the mountain!"

"Why did the old man suddenly become so concerned with national worries?" muttered Chen Xiao.

Leng Baiyu thought of what Xuan Daozi had told her on the mountain, wanting to share with Chen Xiao, but swallowed her words, ending the call with a few simple sentences.

Xuan Daozi told her not to inform Chen Xiao just yet, as there must be a reason.

Besides, she knew Xuan Daozi was truly going to do something significant this time, and her mission was to go to Yin Country with Chen Xiao and get the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart.

She couldn’t help but recall asking Xuan Daozi about how to resolve the downside for Junior Brother’s Celestial Yang Body if they couldn’t get the Bodhi Heart, and his proposed solution made her blush slightly.

She remembered the day from many years ago when the five-year-old boy, with gritted teeth and stubborn will, carried her, wounded and near death, from the bottom of a cliff...

All she remembered was a beautiful sunset, and her ever-rebellious Junior Brother, reliable as a mountain, giving her an endless sense of security.

Yet, for someone constantly aloof, it was utterly impossible to openly express her emotions, especially considering she was two or three years older than Chen Xiao, she had always deceived herself into thinking she saw Chen Xiao as a brother.

But seeing Chen Xiao with other women, her heart couldn’t stay calm.

If only this rascal wasn’t so flirtatious...

Leng Baiyu shook her head, tossing aside her chaotic thoughts.

Meanwhile.

Chen Xiao arrived promptly at the airport to pick up the old man.

Xuan Daozi, no longer in his usual scruffy look, wore a Qingxuan-colored robe, striding grandly out of the airport, displaying a hint of god-like charm and temperament.

"Old man, stop pretending to be a sage and hurry up," Chen Xiao impatiently urged.

"Wait!" Xuan Daozi said sternly, "I can’t leave just yet!"

"You got something else to do?"

"Not really, but that girl’s legs are very white, very long; I want to look a bit longer," Xuan Daozi said righteously.

Chen Xiao: "..."

This old geezer really is young at heart!

Only when those long legs were out of Xuan Daozi’s view did he reluctantly move away.

Once in the car, Chen Xiao cranked up the engine and asked bluntly, "Old man, I asked Senior Sister earlier; she said you came to the Capital City for the Dragon Vein?"

"Yes," Xuan Daozi said calmly, "After being dormant for centuries, the Divine Continent Dragon Vein is about to connect to the outside world. This has been predicted by some for over a century."

"And this Dragon Vein awakening will surely trigger a series of great disturbances."

"What exactly is a Dragon Vein? And what happens when it connects outside?" Chen Xiao asked again.
