Chapter 1483 (Raw 1463): Shocking the Kunlun Realm
The chess pieces and their positions remained unchanged. It was just that the chessboard became larger. However, this resulted in a reversal of the situation.
The Treasure Master said indifferently, "I know why you called me out. That is just an abandoned piece that already achieved its purpose. If there are any additional gains, it would just be a pleasant surprise."
When Jiang Tian heard that, his expression changed slightly. "You abandoned the Blood Clad Sect?"
With a smile, the Treasure Master said, "Even if I didn't abandon them, they would not last for much longer. After a bit more, the Blood Clad Battle Armor's side effects will erupt. At that time, they will all become cripples. Everything in the world follows the natural order. Trying to skip over it will not bring about anything good.
"However, there are always people who cannot resist the temptation. They clearly know the consequences but still believe that they will be the exception."
Jiang Tian asked sullenly, "What are you planning?"
The Treasure Master smiled without answering. Instead, he murmured, "Old Jiang, you have reached the peak of Geomastery, traveling the world between Yin and Yang very skillfully. However, you are also at your limits.
"I want to tell you that this world is very big. You still have much room for improvement. As long as you are willing, I can satisfy you."
Jiang Tian smiled and asked, "Are you trying to incite me?"
"It doesn't matter what you think. Goodbye!"
The Treasure Master stood up and waved his hand. Then, he quickly left the pavilion as if he was trying to avoid something, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two figures stepped out of thin air behind Jiang Tian. The Bright Moon Empress and the Myriad-Law Fiend Master—two Primes—silently appeared.
"That old crook is really smart. We are already that careful, but he still discovered us and left immediately without hesitation," the Bright Moon Empress muttered with a slight frown.
Based on her words, the two Primes seemed to be working together to test the Treasure Master.
However, the Treasure Master did not give them an opportunity. Not wanting to put himself in unnecessary danger, he left at the drop of a hat.
That which could not be understood would forever be what people feared the most. This seemed to be the game that the Treasure Master was playing.
The Treasure Master did not give anyone a chance to know his true strength or trump cards.
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master said softly, "He has been cautious his whole life. How could he let himself fall into danger so easily? This fellow is too mysterious."
Jiang Tian released a drawn-out sigh. "If possible, I really prefer not to see him make a move. He gives me the feeling that he just is not making a move. However, once he does, he will plunge the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean into disaster."
On the finger of the colossal Immortal statue, the three's figures appeared as insignificant as ants. The Immortal statue's eyes drooped as though it could see through everything.
The Bright Moon Empress received a message on a pendant. Then, her expression changed, revealing incredible startlement, her eyes wide with shock.
Jiang Tian asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just received news that Xiao Chen killed the Blood Clad Sect's Sect Master, Ao Lang. He also destroyed the main base of the Blood Clad Sect. The Blood Clad Sect's entire upper echelon suffered severe injuries and fled."
Jiang Tian and the Myriad-Law Fiend Master were greatly startled to hear this and quite surprised.
Although these people did not really care about the Blood Clad Sect, they still understood the Blood Clad Sect's strength.
Even a Holy Master would not be able to destroy the Blood Clad Sect, yet Xiao Chen succeeded.
"Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting!"
After being stunned for a while, Jiang Tian burst out in uproarious laughter. "No matter how big the chessboard is, so what? When the so-called pawns are out of your control, everything else is moot."
The Treasure Master probably never expected the Blood Clad Sect to suffer such a heavy blow.
In the Treasure Master's heart, the Blood Clad Sect was already an abandoned piece, and he would not care about its loss.
However, had the Treasure Master realized that the Blood Clad Sect was already destroyed, he would have been so frustrated, he would have vomited blood.
Based on the conversation earlier, the Treasure Master had guessed that someone would cause trouble at the Blood Clad Sect. However, he absolutely would not have expected its destruction.
"This little fellow's growth is really startling. I did not pay attention for a while, and he already grew to such a level," the Myriad-Law Fiend Master sighed.
The Bright Moon Empress spoke again. "He seems to have already grasped a Dao."
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master gasped. He could not help being impressed and changing his expression. "The Dao. I always wondered whether it was something the ancient people made up. How could it really exist?"
"Well, I'm not saying that it is real. I just received news that he seemed to have grasped a Dao—the Saber Great Dao."
The Bright Moon Empress showed a complicated expression, but she still shared everything she knew.
"No, I have to make a trip to Heavenly Star Island and get to the bottom of this."
Compared to the news of Xiao Chen destroying the Blood Clad Sect, the news of him grasping the Saber Great Dao was what truly moved the Myriad-Law Fiend Master.
After saying that, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master left right away, no longer lingering here.
"Whoosh!"
"Let's go too. We should not stay here for long."
After the Myriad-Law Fiend Master's departure, the Bright Moon Empress also became cautious, leaving this place and bringing Jiang Tian away with her.

In the city on the palm of the Immortal statue, the Treasure Master, who was in a secret room, learned of the destruction of the Blood Clad Sect from the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling's mouth.
The normally calm and unfathomable Treasure Master was greatly startled what he heard that. Anger appeared on his face for the first time.
What angered the Treasure Master was not the loss that came from the Blood Clad Sect's destruction but that this matter exceeded his control and plans.
"Our information has been wrong all the while. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign is Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen showed up in Western Dragon City. Furthermore, he was several times stronger than he was five years ago."
Yi Ling felt dissatisfied. He was not willing to believe that this news was true.
However, there were plenty of witnesses, and the news proved to be accurate. Xiao Chen was the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. Not only was Xiao Chen not crippled, but he was even stronger, growing to be a new giant of this world.
Under Prime, no one could defeat him.
There was even a rumor that a Prime might not be able to do anything to Xiao Chen.
The strength that Xiao Chen displayed in Western Dragon City was simply astonishing. After five years of silence, he again shocked everyone in one go. He stunned the entire Kunlun Realm.
"Please leave. I know already."
The Treasure Master controlled his anger and waved Yi Ling out.
After remaining silent for a long time, the Treasure Master sighed and muttered to himself, "How unexpected! It looks like I have to move my plan forward…"
The Treasure Master did not maintain that mysterious and unfathomable appearance that he put on before Jiang Tian and other people. So many years ago, he had been like this with one person—who suddenly rose up and spoiled his plan, leaving him an eternal scar.
Many years after that, another person escaped his control again.
"Fortunately, I already obtained the Puppet Pearl. Even if the Blood Clad Sect has been destroyed, it will not ruin the grand design of my plan," the Treasure Master said as he toyed with the Puppet Pearl in his hand. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, the other Primes of the Kunlun Realm received this news one after another.
At first, the Cyclic Astral Lord was momentarily stunned. Then, he rejoiced, "With the comprehension of a Dao, his strength should have risen by another level. He should be able to finish walking the Road to Heaven without any problem."
Ying Zongtian—both a teacher and friend to Xiao Chen—revealed a joyful expression when he found out.
Now, Xiao Chen could finally truly hold his own. This was the best news he had heard before the imminent Demonic Calamity.
The three Primes of the Deity Dao Union were all shocked. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch met to discuss this matter.
This was a major matter that was unprecedented. There had never been a single person who could make the three Primes of the Deity Dao Union feel that matters were serious enough to require them to discuss it in person.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign never actually viewed the Treasure Master as a major enemy.
"Should we attack?" The Heaven Punishing Corpse God was the most direct, unable to hide the murderous intent in his tone.
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch shook his head and said, "No. Back then, even before he advanced to Martial Emperor, he was already very hard to kill. Now that he has grown this strong, it will be even harder to kill him."
"This fellow did indeed hide himself very deeply. Who could have imagined that after he jumped off his Emperor's Road, he would become even more horrifying?" the Heaven Punishing Corpse God said while cursing.
"He even managed to grasp the legendary Dao. If we give him more time, he will definitely surpass us."
The more they spoke, the more the Heaven Punishing Corpse God found Xiao Chen horrifying. "We should attack. If we still do not, we will not have an opportunity anymore."
"Qitian, you make the decision." The East Mountain Ghost Monarch turned to the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, seeking guidance from the strongest of them.
