Little Rain.
It wasn't the rain under the Dead Sea Star River.
Rather, it was the water magic jointly displayed by the great practitioners of the various interfaces.
There was not much might, but the range was extremely wide, making almost the entire Dead Sea Star River drizzle with spiritual rain.
The only effect of this rainwater was to investigate and verify what kind of dragon the remnants of the Emperor Dragon in the Great Saint Ruins actually were.
If the Emperor Dragon remnants were interested in water magic, it would react, and it would most likely be an Azure Dragon. Azure Dragons like water, can wrap spiritual power into water, and swim the star rivers.
It couldn't be detected for a while, so the rain just kept drizzling.
Chen Xia sat at the front end of Little Star Dust, not using spiritual power to block the rain, just letting it rain on him frankly.
Since it was hard to come by a little rain, why block it?
It just so happened to be today, facing the rain.
At this moment, a Blue Robed Taoist came aboard Little Star Dust and stood in front of Chen Xia, chuckling: "Good rain knows the seasons, knows I'm coming, so it rained nicely."
"You're a little too self-important," Chen Xia replied flatly.
"Maybe so," the Blue Robed Taoist replied with a smile. His gaze sized up Chen Xia for a moment before continuing, "This is my first time seeing one of the top twenty new Thunder Sword Lords on the Heaven Ranking. As expected, extraordinary."
"There are even more extraordinary ones," Chen Xia replied.
Behind him, Xu Zhen had already appeared, her face gloomy as she looked at Blue Robe's smile. She asked coldly, "What brings the Water and Fire Lord of the Celestial Realm to our little star dust?"
"Would you believe me if I said the good rain urged me on?" the blue-robed cultivator chuckled.
"I would," Xu Zhen nodded, the immortal magic already beginning to converge in her hand, twisting the spiritual force vortex. She sneered coldly, "But don't think about leaving."
The Blue Robed Taoist's eyebrows twitched. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Actually, the Celestial Realm wants to invite you two to join. If you two join, the treatment offered by the Celestial Realm will only be better than the Immortal Realm."
"No need," Xu Zhen rejected without even thinking.
The Blue Robed Taoist was not particularly surprised by this answer. His expression was quite plain. Looking at Chen Xia again, he shook his head and said,
"This Great Saint Ruins is no ordinary one. Although you two are very strong, without interface support in this Great Saint Ruins, it may still be difficult."
"Although I don't know why you left the Immortal Realm, the opportunities in this Great Saint Ruins are certainly not something you two can obtain alone."
"You can leave now," Xu Zhen didn't even bother to say anything in response.
Chen Xia sat impassively on the ground, propping up his head and thinking about other things.
The Blue Robed Taoist nodded with a smile. "I hope you can be so tough when we meet again in the Great Saint Ruins."
Having said that, he turned and disappeared.
This was the first major interface to actively reach out with an olive branch, but it wasn't the last.
Afterwards, there were more and more interfaces coming to visit.
Chen Xia didn't agree to any of them.
He and Xu Zhen had decided they wanted to try their luck alone, and they also believed in their own abilities. Even without interface support, they could still eat their fill in the Great Saint Ruins.
This was the confidence of Chen Xia and Xu Zhen as top heavenly arrogance.
Especially Chen Xia, whose confidence had increased manifold over these days.
Because the Emperor Dragon in the Great Saint Ruins was a Universal Celestial Dragon like himself, so he was not an outsider. He should be a native of the Great Saint Ruins.
So this Great Saint Ruins was his own home.
Who's afraid to fight in their own home?
The more Chen Xia thought about it, the more emboldened he became. In any case, he had decided that this Great Saint Ruins was his home.
No matter what else, boosting his morale came first.
This was Chen Xia's seventh month after entering the Dead Sea Star River.
There was another dragon roar from within the Dead Sea, even more violent than before, boiling the entire Dead Sea, with even the dead stars in the stellar river above falling down.
The water magic displayed by the various interfaces had not yet stopped, but they could draw the conclusion that the Emperor Dragon remnants in the Dead Sea were not Azure Dragons.
This Emperor Dragon remnant didn't seem to like water and showed no reaction.
This dragon roar was also not because of the rain, but because the Great Saint Ruins were about to open.
There were a total of three roars.
The first roar shook the sea, the second roar collapsed the stars, but the third became understated, like a final cry at the moment of death.
Chen Xia's emotions stirred violently for a moment, and his whole person perceived that feeling of grief, as if it were a cry from an ancient elder.
He stared blankly at this entire Dead Sea for a long time before nodding to himself and muttering:
"Hope it's an thigh."
Xu Zhen glanced at him from the side. There was a flicker of light in her eyes. She seemed to make out something but didn't say it.
She still hoped that Chen Xia would tell her some secrets himself.
This was Chen Xia’s seventh month after entering the Dead Sea Star River. The drizzling rain had lasted a whole month.
But Chen Xia's green shirt became drier and drier, looking nothing like being drenched by rain.
His left eye was still crimson, but his right eye had also become abnormal. It was filled with the purest white light, already overflowing his entire pupil so that no distinction could be made between the whites and iris.
Xu Zhen asked worriedly, but Chen Xia told her not to worry and chuckled in reply:
"The red one is red eye disease, the white one is cataracts."
Xu Zhen was speechless.
He would explain.
She was starting to get a little worried, because she could feel more and more other auras from Chen Xia.
Very similar to Chen Xia, but not just Chen Xia. There was more, there were others.
Xu Zhen was puzzled, but didn't know how to ask. She could only often look at Chen Xia with worried eyes.
But Chen Xia still didn't say anything.
There was really nothing to say, and he didn't want her to worry, so he just remained silent.
In the ninth month that followed...
The dragon roar rose again, not violently, but a far-reaching dragon roar that almost everyone could hear it was more like a call this time.
But what exactly was it calling for?
No one was clear.
The calling voice continued for half a day. The purest white color in Chen Xia's right eye became more and more intense, almost overflowing.
Some celestial dragon images were gathering around his body, but soon calmed down as he deliberately suppressed them.
For a long time afterwards, there was no sound of the dragon roar.
Until the first month after the first year passed.
This dragon roar was the last one. Its sound was so great that it directly shook open the entire Dead Sea, revealing an empty passage leading deep inside.
"The ruins have opened!"
"Go!"
"The opportunity lies ahead. The Divine Territory is with me!"
"..."
The words of the practitioners of the various interfaces were intricate and dense. Their figures poured out ceaselessly at this moment and gathered together to enter the opened Dead Sea passage.
Chen Xia stood high up on Little Star Dust and looked below.
What he saw first was the sea.
Boundless, stretching endlessly without clarity, the sea.
This was the Dead Sea.
But after the Dead Sea, he saw something else.
A pair of pure white eyes, an enormous dragon head.
A Universal Celestial Dragon sprawling across nearly half the Dead Sea!
The dragon roar did not stop ringing in his ears.
Calling to him.
Chen Xia could no longer suppress the celestial dragon aura on his body. His entire body radiated the purest white glow. Turning his head to Xu Zhen, he said:
"Follow me..."
"Into the sea."
Behind him, pure white wings suddenly unfurled, carrying the entire Little Star Dust...
Plunging down!
