Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1926 Raw 2027 : Absorbing the Thunder Flame

Chapter 1926 (Raw 2027): Absorbing the Thunder Flame
Normally, few would appear at the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s main peak. Others could not possibly know that it was Xiao Chen who was practicing the Fist Technique.
The Third Palace Master’s strict orders were clearly meant to protect Xiao Chen.
The Third Palace Master looked in the direction that Xiao Chen had taken. Then, he left with a complicated expression.
When the many peak experts on the Heavenly Dragon statue, guarding the main peak, saw that the Third Palace Master had left, they started discussing with each other.
“That was incredible. This white-clad youth actually comprehended a trace of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries. Perhaps he might even become a Heavenly Dragon one day.”
“It is hard to say. It is not that one will definitely become a Heavenly Dragon by comprehending the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries. There are examples of failures in the past.”
“However, he only took one look, and he was able to comprehend a trace of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries. That is the most shocking thing. Otherwise, why else would the Third Palace Master seal off information about him? The Third Palace Master clearly wants to protect him.”
“You are all wrong. It is because of the Supreme Dragon Fist. That Fist Technique was created by a bona fide Heavenly Dragon. The crucial thing is that this Heavenly Dragon took the path of opposing the Dragon Emperor. That person held too great a hatred. The Third Palace Master is afraid of the Golden Dragon Race finding out about this.”
“That makes sense. Back then, the Golden Dragon Race wanted to get rid of all the secret manuals that he left behind. The First Palace Master put in a lot of effort to preserve this Supreme Dragon Fist. The Golden Dragon Race felt that no one could possibly succeed in cultivating the Supreme Dragon Fist, so they agreed to let it be preserved.”
“It would be bad if the Golden Dragon bloodline finds out that someone succeeded in practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist.”
“Humph! What’s bad about it? Could it be that they are going to stick their noses into what Martial Techniques our Heavenly Dragon Palace’s people practice?”
Xiao Chen caused too great a sensation, triggering an exceptionally intense discussion among these Sovereign Personage experts.
Compared to the peak experts on the main peak, the outer palace disciples, inner palace disciples, and core disciples outside the main peak were even more shocked.
The shocking scene on top of the Heavenly Dragon had been visible to everyone in the vast Heavenly Dragon Palace.
Compared to the group of Elders who had witnessed the whole thing from the Heavenly Dragon statue, the people far away had seen an even more shocking and inconceivable scene.
If these people were told that the Heavenly Dragon had come to life, there might be some who would believe it.
When the mysterious phenomena disappeared, many disciples seemed to go crazy, asking around for information.
These disciples wanted to know what was going on, what had happened.
Unfortunately, the Third Palace Master had sealed off information about this. No matter how these disciples tried to investigate, they would never learn the details of this matter.

In a palace hidden among tens of thousands of clouds in the Heavenly Dragon Palace, the three Palace Masters gathered because of Xiao Chen.
The First Palace Master sat on a throne in the middle. After he heard the Third Palace Master’s report, his expression also turned grave.
“So, this means that he succeeded in practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist?”
“In my opinion, while still not fully proficient, he indeed brought out the state behind the Supreme Dragon Fist,” the Third Palace Master answered objectively and honestly.
The Second Palace Master said softly, “Big Brother, it looks like your decision back then was rather wise.”
However, the First Palace Master frowned heavily, not showing a smile. He said, “I participated in the birth of this Fist Technique back then. It disturbs me that it has lain unused since then. How I wish that someone can really succeed in practicing it again!”
“Humph! Big Brother, what are you worried about? Haven’t the six Divine Dragon palaces suppressed us enough yet? Since he already managed to practice it, so be it! It is just practicing a Fist Technique; are they going to kill him for it? In any case, I’m sticking my nose into this. Even if he is not my disciple, I will not let others do as they please, making trouble for him.” The Third Palace Master expressed his stance with a serious expression.
The First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master exchanged looks. They knew their third brother’s temper. Once he decided on something, he absolutely would not change his mind.
Speaking of which, it was just a Fist Technique; there was no need to be so afraid.
If this matter happened in the other palaces, the upper echelons would definitely be very excited and might even report it to Ancestor Dragon City.
However, when it came to the Heavenly Dragon Palace, they ended up so cautious about it. This was really laughable.
The First Palace Master thought for a while before saying, “This Fist Technique will soon be exposed in the heaven-class core disciple selection. However, there is still some time. It is enough. I’ll make a trip to Ancestor Dragon City. Third Brother, since I was the one who wanted to preserve this Fist Technique, I naturally will not ignore this matter.”
The Second Palace Master laughed, “Third Brother is right. In the end, it is a good thing that my Heavenly Dragon Palace managed to produce such talent. Big Brother, when you go there, just take it as reporting good news. The old seniors of the mixed-blood dragon bloodline will probably be very happy.”
However, the Third Palace Master could not find it in his heart to laugh. How can this be going to report good news? Big Brother is clearly going there to take the blame for this and shoulder it alone.
He will definitely say that he was lax in his supervision and ended up letting the Supreme Dragon Fist get preserved. He is going forward to claim the blame and not let any of it fall on Xiao Chen, to ensure that Xiao Chen can continue to practice the Supreme Dragon Fist.
Who knows what difficulties he will face?
With this thought, the Third Palace Master could not help feeling somewhat forlorn.
The First Palace Master looked at the Third Palace Master. Then, he shifted his gaze to the Second Palace Master. “Second Brother, I’ll leave the heaven-class core disciple selection to you, as well as the matter of the competition between the seven palaces. You have to make preparations early.”
“Right.”

As Xiao Chen returned to Cold Moon Cave, he realized that he had caused a big commotion when he saw the agitated disciples along the way.
However, he had indeed felt moved when he was on the Heavenly Dragon statue’s head. It was plain that the lofty aspirations and state of mind he felt when standing on the top of the Heavenly Dragon would fade with time. If he did not grasp these properly, he would have difficulty reproducing them.
Heavenly Dragon!
Compared to succeeding in practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist in one go, Xiao Chen cared more about grasping a trace of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries.
In the past, the words Heavenly Dragon were only ordinary words to Xiao Chen.
He had only known the name but not the meaning behind it. Now, he not only understood the meaning but had even taken a crucial step forward.
In the past, Xiao Chen could only think about becoming a Heavenly Dragon. Now, there was a truly distinct trace of possibility.
“I can put the Supreme Dragon Fist aside for now. However, I have to properly grasp the strand of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries.”
If Xiao Chen knew that the three Palace Masters had gathered because of this Supreme Dragon Fist, even prompting the First Palace Master to go to Ancestor Dragon City to preemptively plead guilty, he might have come to a very different decision.
For three days, Xiao Chen focused on comprehending that trace of the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries to retain it in his heart and plant a small seed.
It did not matter whether he could become a Heavenly Dragon or not; at the very least, his Dragon Might was indeed different from others now.
Compared to the ordinary, incredibly tyrannical Dragon Might, his Dragon Might had an ethereal quality that seemed uncontained by heaven, which would make it challenging for others to figure it out.
In combat, this Dragon Might might have unexpected effects.
“There are only twenty days left until the heaven-class core disciple selection. I have to properly allocate my remaining time.”
Xiao Chen now felt fully confident about the heaven-class core disciple selection.
The things that he could do within twenty days were limited. He could not rush to absorb the remaining Primeval Heavenly Pills during these short twenty days.
Hence, Xiao Chen chose to refine the two gifts from General Feng. This would be a more suitable use of his time.
With the resources in his hands, he could improve his cultivation at any time. After all, he was already a late-stage Star Venerate.
To Xiao Chen, the difference between Small Perfection and Great Perfection was not much. Furthermore, he was some distance from peak Consummation late-stage Starry Venerate.
He definitely would not be able to close that gap in twenty days.
Xiao Chen spread his palm, and a blade of grass and the unpolished jade with the thunder flame appeared.
The unpolished jade looked as resplendent as before. However, he had already grown inured to its light. No matter how piercing it was, it would not injure his eyes again.
Just like the top of the Heavenly Dragon, the second time would definitely not provoke the same level of shock as the first time.
Which to choose between the Thunder Dao and the Saber Dao? Xiao Chen had to consider carefully.
“The Thunder Dao, then. My Saber Dao has been at peak Small Perfection for a long time already. It will definitely break through. As for the Thunder Dao, I have comprehended it for too short a time. Who knows whether I can push it to Great Perfection or not?”
After pondering the issue, Xiao Chen decided to absorb the thunder flame that contained boundless Great Dao Energy first.
Whether the Thunder Great Dao could reach Great Perfection or not depended on this.
He sat down cross-legged. Then, with a thought, a purple Dao disk slowly spread out behind him.
Then, the Dao disk condensed into a spot emitting resplendent radiance. Xiao Chen prodded the unpolished jade with a finger, and a crack appeared in it.
A moment later, the unpolished jade broke apart. No longer suppressed, the thunder flame broke free of its restraints.
The entire courtyard turned extremely resplendent with the light of this thunder flame. Xiao Chen endured the pressure and let this spot of thunder flame enter his forehead.
“Boom!”
Instantly, the spot of Great Dao electric light behind Xiao Chen shone with even more brilliant light, continuously brightening at a visible pace.
