Chapter 1353 (Raw 1343 Repeat):
Xiao Chen and Mo Chen had not expected Yue Bingyun's arrival. When Yue Bingyun revealed that she was no longer the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter, they were even more shocked.
Xiao Chen exchanged glances with Mo Chen. They did not know what had happened. Did the Lunar Palace's Palace Master and the Holy Daughter fall out with each other?
"Bingyun, what do you mean?" Xiao Chen probed as he invited Yue Bingyun in.
Since this might encroach on sensitive issues, Xiao Chen's tone did not contain any urgency. He just asked casually, not giving Yue Bingyun any pressure.
Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and replied, "It is not as serious as you think. After Master came to know of my thoughts, she no longer forced me. She let me leave the Lunar Palace. However, I grew up in the Lunar Palace. After leaving it, I couldn't think of a destination, so I came here. You won't chase me away, right?"
If it was as she said, then that was good. Xiao Chen and Mo Chen released their bated breath. It looked like the Lunar Palace's Palace Master was not an emotionless, cold-blooded person. There was still a master-disciple relationship and feelings between her and Yue Bingyun. Otherwise, she would not have let Yue Bingyun go so easily.
Mo Chen said with a happy smile, "We are glad that you came. How could we chase you away? Later, I'll go with Elder Sister Bingyun to arrange for a residence."
The two were not as eager as Mo Chen made them out to be, but Xiao Chen did not mind Yue Bingyun staying on Heavenly Star Island. He simply smiled faintly and did not say anything more.
Yue Bingyun looked at the two broken halves of the Cloud Moon Saber as she said softly, "That's right. I also came here for something else."
Xiao Chen observed Yue Bingyun's expression, and his chest tightened. He asked, "Are you here for this Cloud Moon Saber? This Divine Weapon already lost its divine nature, having completely lost its spirituality. It is no longer of value. Can you just leave it with me? I am willing to contribute half of the resources back to the Lunar Palace."
Seeing Yue Bingyun stare at the Cloud Moon Saber, Xiao Chen thought that the Lunar Palace wanted to take back the Cloud Moon Saber, so he quickly spoke up.
Actually, Xiao Chen did not have any plan for this Cloud Moon Saber. He simply wanted to keep these two pieces of the saber.
The final cry of the Cloud Moon Saber had given Xiao Chen a great shock. Perhaps this was the reverence a bladesman had for a saber. He just wanted to keep it.
Although the Cloud Moon Saber had been willing to be broken by Xiao Chen in the first place, Xiao Chen was the one who personally broke it in the end.
Keeping the Cloud Moon Saber was his way of making up for it. However, doing this was far from enough to ease the guilt in his heart.
Yue Bingyun smiled and said, "No, no, you are overthinking. I wanted to ask if you are willing to merge the Lunar Shadow Saber and the broken pieces of the Cloud Moon Saber into a new Sub-Divine Weapon."
Xiao Chen showed a surprised expression on his face. Yue Bingyun's suggestion was unexpected. On further thought, was this the intention of the Lunar Palace's Palace Master?
Yue Bingyun continued, "Xiao Chen, you don't need to try and guess. Although Master did not say anything, this is her intention. She made two moves. Openly, she agreed to Di Wuque. However, secretly, she did not abandon you, either. After all, no matter who it is, they would not truly be willing to be swallowed up by the Deity Race."
Xiao Chen felt shocked. This Lunar Palace's Palace Master was truly incredible. The two moves—one overt and one covert—took into account all the possible endings.
This was especially so with the move with Yue Bingyun. Right now, she was no longer a disciple of the Lunar Palace. Even if she came to help Xiao Chen, the Deity Dao Union could not say anything or find any excuse to make things difficult for the Lunar Palace.
If the Deity Dao Union succeeded and truly destroyed the Supreme Sky Sect, the Lunar Palace would still be in a good position, having already publicly announced support for the Deity Dao Union.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This master of yours is scheming on behalf of the Lunar Palace. Everyone can become a pawn. Has she ever thought of your feelings?"
Yue Bingyun said softly, "Please don't blame my master; I never have. When one is in a different position, the angle one's thoughts take will naturally be different. Furthermore, this time, I am willing.

"As long as you are willing, I have the means to make the Cloud Moon Saber merge perfectly into the Lunar Shadow Saber, to bring out the characteristics of the Cloud Moon Saber fully."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he entered deep thought. This was indeed a great temptation. However, he had to ask Ao Jiao's opinion first.
Ao Jiao, do you think that it can be done?
Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, nodded. If it is just merging the Cloud Moon Saber in, we can agree. It is good to improve the Lunar Shadow Saber further before it advances into a Divine Weapon.
Xiao Chen felt some surprise. He asked, Even after merging the two, we still can't raise the Lunar Shadow Saber into a Divine Weapon?
Naturally, we can. However, it would just be an ordinary Divine Weapon. Either the Lunar Shadow Saber does not become a Divine Weapon, or when it does, it charges into the Divine Weapon Ranking. It is like you. Either you do not become a Martial Emperor or when you do, you will be an influential person among Martial Emperors.
Xiao Chen now understood. It was not that she could not but that she was not willing. Right now, the Lunar Shadow Saber was like a quasi-Emperor gathering accumulations.
That was fine. Right now, Xiao Chen still had not made preparations to have a Transcendent Divine Weapon.
Xiao Chen nodded. "I have discussed it with the Lunar Shadow Saber, and she agreed. In that case, I'll trouble Miss Bingyun."
Yue Bingyun blinked in some shock that Xiao Chen actually discussed the alteration of the weapon with the Item Spirit.
She recovered her wits and smiled. "It's fine, it's fine. It's not really problematic. The one that it truly poses a problem for is Younger Sister Mo Chen. Without her help, it will be very difficult for me to merge the Lunar Shadow Saber and the Cloud Moon Saber perfectly."
Mo Chen said, "It's fine. As long as I can help Elder Brother Xiao Chen, Mo Chen is willing to do anything."
Xiao Chen saw the sincerity in the two women's eyes and felt moved. It was very fortunate for one to be able to have a close female friend in life. However, Xiao Chen had two. He had to say that he was extremely fortunate.
Yue Bingyun said, "There is no time to lose. Let's begin now and get it done before the Deity Dao Union starts their final attack on the Supreme Sky Sect."
When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Chen's heart sank. Worry showed on his face.
The Supreme Sky Sect and the Three Holy Lands had already started fighting long ago. Clashes between Martial Emperors had taken place several times already. As for skirmishes, those went without saying, happening at nearly every moment.
However, all along, with the Supreme Sky Prime holding down the fort, although the Three Holy Lands had the advantage, they did not dare to truly clash head-on with the Supreme Sky Sect, and a huge decisive battle had not happened. However, after the Deity Dao Union was established, the situation immediately turned around with the Supreme Sky Sect falling into a significant disadvantage.
Once the Deity Dao Union was duly established, the final decisive battle would begin. No matter how one looked at it, the Supreme Sky Sect was the Deity Dao Union's greatest enemy on their path to ruling the entire Kunlun Realm.
Now, two months had passed since the formation of the Deity Dao Union. That day was already drawing near.
Perhaps it would happen in one month, perhaps even tomorrow.
Xiao Chen's fate was intimately interdependent with the Supreme Sky Sect's. Once the Supreme Sky Sect fell, he would suffer from disaster as well. His Luck would be affected, going in a downward spiral.
"Bingyun, how long do you need?" Xiao Chen asked.
Yue Bingyun thought for a while before replying, "If everything goes smoothly, we will need about seven days. After all, this is just a merging and not forging a new Divine Weapon. Furthermore, with Mo Chen's Book of Heavenly Works assisting me from the side, it will not take long."
"Seven days. I hope that in these seven days, nothing happens to the Supreme Sky Sect."
After saying that, Xiao Chen took out the Lunar Shadow Saber and handed it to Yue Bingyun. He said, "The two of you can focus fully on merging the two sabers. During these seven days, I will protect you two."
