Chapter 1374 - Xuanwu City
After Jiang Chen asked Chen Xi to take her fellow disciples with her and travel to the Heavenly Palace, he stopped into the Three Middle Realms to take care of the last matter.
Jiang Chen went into a city outside Shiluo Continent, looking for the exiled He Shou.
At that time, He Shou had been abandoned by the Genuine Heaven Sect because he had helped Jiang Chen fight against the Ancient Race. He had stayed in the Three Middle Realms because he didn’t have any chance to change his situation.
After Jiang Chen convinced He Shou to go back with him to the Heavenly Palace, they both went back to the Seventh Realm.
“Are you going now to the Eighth Realm?” Upon witnessing that Jiang Chen was about to go on a journey, He Shou asked curiously.
“That is right. But there is still another me in the Heavenly Palace.” Jiang Chen didn’t inform him of the difference between the main body and the magical clones.
If people got to know that the one traveling outside was Jiang Chen’s main body, many people who harbored evil designs on him would have attacked him long ago.
“Will the Sovereign Road’s trial start here?” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but question him.
The youth was taken aback, and he spoke in an odd tone, “Sir, it seems like you don’t know anything about the Sovereign Road, do you?”
“That’s the case. The person who gave me the card wasn’t too friendly,” Jiang Chen said, as he smiled bitterly.
“It sometimes turns out like this.”
The youth revealed an understanding look and said with a smile, “My name is Xia Houjie, and, if you don’t mind, I will dispel your doubts for you.”
“I’m Jiang Chen, and I’m all ears.” Jiang Chen didn’t treat the youth rudely since he was quite polite.
“Jiang Chen?”
Xia Houjie, who was about to explain everything in detail, was quite surprised, and he said, “Are you Jiang Chen from the Seventh Realm?”
“It seems like my name is quite famous.”
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, and upon witnessing the youth’s current look, he said carelessly, “If you have any misgivings, don’t force yourself. I will make inquiries about it by myself.”
“That’s not the case, even though the guy doesn’t seem very friendly. But he still isn’t able to control everything. At least, we don’t need to worry about him for now.” Xia Houjie understood what Jiang Chen implied, and he expressed his point of view.
“Huh?”
Jiang Chen found it difficult to get used to such treatment. He was already prepared to accept the fact that this guy would evade him as if he was the plague and flee away in panic.
“Since that’s the case, I think we may be able to become friends,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“Ha, ha, ha, I also feel like we hit it off well.” Xia Houjie laughed heartily.
Both of them landed in the city, and some soldiers came up to them and inspected them. It was only after they had seen the golden cards that they let them pass.
“It’s really as you think. The Sovereign Road isn’t here. But we still must pass through this place to go into the Sovereign Road,” Xia Houjie explained this affair to Jiang Chen.
The martial grade was comprised of Martial Emperors, Martial Saints, Martial Sovereigns, and Martial Gods. Martial Emperors were called Emperors, while Martial Saints were called Sacred Lords. As for Martial Sovereigns, they were called Sovereigns, and Martial Gods were called Divine Kings.
As for the Sovereign Road, it was made to train a Martial Sovereign.
However, it wasn’t realistic for Martial Emperors like Jiang Chen and Xia Houjie to reach the apex in a single step, and that was why an adjustment period was required.
