<h4>Chapter 1936 (Raw 2037): Different Comprehensions</h4>


    “Bang!”


    A miserable shriek apanied the loud sound. Xiao Chen, who was at the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue, opened his eyes.


    It seemed like someone had fallen off the cliff. The voice sounded familiar, like Yi Qianyun’s.


    Xiao Chen’s night of cultivation was interrupted that way. As he looked at the rising sun, he spat out a mouthful of turbid air.


    He stood up on top of the Heavenly Dragon statue and looked around. As he did so, his heart epassed everything he saw.


    “Boom! Boom! Boom!”


    With a thought, Xiao Chen started practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist, testing the results of his night ofprehension.


    —


    Li Luo and the others gathered below and looked down the cliff. They could no longer see Yi Qianyun’s figure.


    “Will he die?” Qin Yan asked with some fear as he gazed at the seemingly bottomless abyss.


    Li Luo shook her head and replied, “He won’t. Although this deep abyss is somewhat strange, it should not kill a reserve heaven-ss core disciple. However, he will suffer from severe injuries and will probably have to lie in bed for one or two months.”


    When Li Luo said that, Zhang Ye and the others could not help feeling somewhat happy.


    After all, right now, they were just reserve heaven-ss core disciples. Sooner orter, they would have to fight each other. They were still inpetition with each other.


    Yi Qianyun’s rash actions were tantamount to him writing off his opportunity to be a formal heaven-ss core disciple. The thought of this was extremelyughable.


    This inspired fear in the others and deterred them from attempting the same thing.


    Li Luo withdrew her gaze and said seriously, “The stronger you are, the stronger the Heavenly Dragon’s Dragon Might will be. You can try if you want to. However, you cannot be rash. You have to make sure you leave yourself some leeway.”


    Just at this moment, the howling of wind came from the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue. Dragon roars rang out, and the clouds around surged.


    The seven stopped talking and looked up. As they watched Xiao Chen practice at the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue, they all revealedplicated expressions.


    “Why can he do it?”


    Xiao Jinyu revealed a dissatisfied expression. Looking up at Xiao Chen made him feel sullen and depressed.


    Envy shed in Jue Yun’s eyes as he exined, “Heprehended a trace of the Heavenly Dragon’s mystery. He can already merge his aura with the Heavenly Dragon’s Dragon Might. That is the best way to climb to the top of the Heavenly Dragon. If the three of us tried to force our way up, we have an even chance of sess. However, we want toprehend the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries first before going up instead of fighting the Dragon Might on the way up.”


    Xiao Chen’s talent truly astonished the three of them. Back then, Xiao Chen forced his way into the Heavenly Dragon Pce’s main peak.


    The first time he arrived at the Profound Dragon tform, he only observed for a while, thenprehended the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries.


    As for the three of them, they had cultivated at this Profound Dragon tform for more than a year. Although they improved rapidly, they had made no headway in the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries, unable toprehend them.


    As the group below spoke, Xiao Chen finished practicing the improved Supreme Dragon Fist. He now gave off an extraordinary aura, one that surpassed the mundane.


    Under the light of the morning sun, Xiao Chen’s handsome face appeared hazy and divine. He looked like he was the Dragon God.


    “It’s still alright.”


    Xiao Chen shook his head. After practicing the improved Supreme Dragon Fist, he felt that if he diverged from it, he would end up in a state of Berserking Qi Deviation if he continued.


    Indeed, the Supreme Dragon Fist could not be easily altered.


    Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and leaped into the air, turning into a bolt of lightning entering the clouds. In the next instant, hended at Cold Moon Cave. Then, he went to his cultivation room and started cultivating.


    While he needed toprehend the Supreme Dragon Fist, his cultivation could not fall behind, either.


    In this way, time slowly passed. Xiao Chen would cultivate in his residence during the day, stabilizing his cultivation and improving it.


    During the night, he would go to the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue and meditate. When the morning sun rose, he would practice what heprehended overnight.


    The clouds came and went; the sun rose and set. In the blink of an eye, one month had psed.


    “I did it!”


    Xiao Chen revealed a smile at the top of the Heavenly Dragon statue. After thirty days, he finally seeded in practicing the improved Supreme Dragon Fist.


    He had also reced the resentment in the Supreme Dragon Fist with killing Qi.


    Although these two were both negative emotions, killing Qi only needed to be vented, and it could be controlled. There would not be any negative impact.


    As for resentment, after umting for a long time, it would sooner orter warp one’s mind.


    Changing resentment to killing Qi made the Supreme Dragon Fist more suitable for Xiao Chen. Compared to that Heavenly Dragon senior, he did not have so much resentment. Forcibly bringing out the might of this Fist Technique using resentment would be like flipping the result and the process.


    In this one month, Xiao Chen had drained arge number of Primeval Heavenly Pills, and his cultivation had increased stably to peakte-stage Star Venerate.


    However, he was still some distance from the bottleneck. He would not be able to break through to Holy Venerate so quickly.


    Moreover, Xiao Chen was not nning to break through to Holy Venerate for now.


    The Holy Light Stage was a brand-new level. After suffering attacks from Holy Venerate Wills so many times, he was exceptionally cautious of this cultivation grade.


    “Junior Brother Xiao Chen!”


    Just as Xiao Chen prepared to leave, he heard someone below calling him. With a thought, he descended.


    The one who called out was Li Luo. She smiled at him and said, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, congrattions on sessfully altering the Supreme Dragon Fist.”


    After observing for one month from below, Li Luo naturally knew what Xiao Chen was doing.


    “Many thanks.”


    After Li Luo hesitated for a while, she asked, “Junior Brother, would you be willing to tell us about the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries that youprehended?”


    “Sure.”


    The simple and straightforward answer startled Li Luo and the others somewhat. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was so straightforward.


    They had been at a loss for a long time, wondering if they should ask Xiao Chen and what to do if he rejected.


    It was not that there were no Elders to exin the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries to them. However, the Elders’ cultivations surpassed the three’s by too much. There were many things that were hard to understand and exin.


    However, if a person of simr cultivation were to exin it, it would be much easier to understand.


    “Many thanks, Junior Brother Xiao Chen.”


    Everyone quickly expressed their gratitude, and they invited Xiao Chen to the top of a stone pir on the Profound Dragon tform. Then, the others spread out and formed a circle.


    Xiao Chen did not think too much, just answering honestly, “I can only speak about my own understanding. Everyone’s situation is different. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to help the various seniors.”


    “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, there is no need to be so polite. Your aplishments are clear to see. Since you are willing to share your understanding, we will definitely gain something from it. It is just a matter of how much,” Jue Yun, one of the heaven-ss core disciples, said with a smile, performing an inviting gesture.


    After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen said, “ording to my understanding, the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries are not about merging with heaven. Should heaven be supreme and be the master, or should the dragon be supreme and be the master? Simply put, we have to take ourselves as supreme, to have a boldness greater than heaven. Howeverrge heaven is, our hearts have to berger. The vastness of our hearts has to be greater than the sky and thend. Toprehend the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries, we first need to have great boldness before fully grasping the intrinsic state of the Heavenly Dragon.”


    Li Luo asked, “What is the intrinsic state of the Heavenly Dragon?”


    Xiao Chen exined, “ording to my understanding, the intrinsic state of the Heavenly Dragon is a kind of ethereal air. It might be different from what everyone imagines it to be, tyrannical, Heavenly Might, or the way of the king.”


    “This...”


    Li Luo and the others frowned slightly, confusion written on their faces.


    When they raised their heads to look at the Heavenly Dragon’s head hidden behind the clouds and mist, the first impression they got was a soul-shocking Heavenly Might. Next was an unparalleled tyranny. After that was the pride and arrogance of paramountcy.


    Why would Xiao Chen describe what he saw as ethereal? The heaven-ss core disciples simply could not understand.


    “Xiao Chen, you are not messing with us, right?”


    Xiao Jinyu frowned slightly, eyeing Xiao Chen with suspicion. “I have sought advice from many Elders, but no one ever said that the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteries contained an ethereal state. Could it be that your understanding of this is deeper than those Elders


    “Perhaps,” Xiao Chen answered honestly, not denying it.


    To Xiao Chen’s eyes, the Heavenly Dragon was boundlessly ethereal, proud but not arrogant. No matter how tyrannical it appeared to be, it always had an unrestrained carefreeness.


    Even the skies could not clip the Heavenly Dragon’s wings, and the ground could not bind the Heavenly Dragon’s feet.


    The vastness of its heart was not subject to the restraint of the skies and ground.


    “What arrogance...” At Xiao Chen’s immodesty, Xiao Jinyu turned his head away, no longer intending to listen.


    Xiao Chen did not care and ignored him. If Xiao Jinyu wanted to leave, that was up to him. Xiao Chen did not beg him to listen in the first ce.


    As Xiao Chen continued to exin his opinion, more conflicts in opinion cropped up. Fang Tianyi, Qin Yan, and the others left.


    Even the three heaven-ss core disciples frowned heavily. The exnations from the seniors and juniors from before who had alsoprehended the Heavenly Dragon’s mysteriespletely differed from Xiao Chen’s.


    Eventually, only Li Luo remained with him on the Profound Dragon tform. The others could no longer bear to listen.


    These people were not interested in openly rebutting Xiao Chen and did not want to start a conflict, so they snorted coldly in their hearts and left.


    Soon, even Li Luo could no longer bear it. The more Xiao Chen spoke, the more his words deviated from her understanding. She felt that her mind would copse soon.


    If she continued listening, her understanding of the Heavenly Dragon might end up wavering.


    “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, sorry. I have to leave as well,” Li Luo said awkwardly after standing up. She felt somewhat guilty as she looked at Xiao Chen.


    “It’s fine.”


    Everyone left, but no one discovered that Xiao Chen’s air had be increasinglypatible with the Heavenly Dragon’s, nearly one with it.
