Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1034: Promising Ten Years

“I also have a Medicinal Pill that I just refined. Wait for a moment.”

Xiao Chen put away the Heavenly Origin Pills. Then, he took out a jade bottle right before Mo Chen’s suspicious gaze. He said, “This is the Innate Beauty Nourishing Pill. It allows one to regenerate their youth and prevent their appearance from aging. It will be able to remove the scars on your face.”

A look of shock appeared on Mo Chen’s face. After being stunned for a while, she looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile, “Many thanks!”

However, Xiao Chen saw other intentions in her eyes. He said, “You are not going to use this Medicinal Pill, right?”

Mo Chen nodded. “I personally disfigured myself. Naturally, I will regain my appearance by myself. When I advance to Martial Emperor and form the Golden Emperor Body, I can completely recover my appearance.”

Xiao Chen felt moved. He could see a shred of himself in this girl. However, for girls, being too hard resulted in being brittle. Only when one was gentle would one not break.

Xiao Chen did not know how to advise her. After thinking about it, he decided not to. He smiled and said, “Do your best, then. I’ll wait for you to become a Martial Emperor. Then, I will personally watch you remove your veil yourself.”

Mo Chen smiled. “You say that as though you will advance to Martial Emperor before me. You are now only a Martial Monarch. If you want to become a Martial Emperor through your physical body, you will not be able to do so within a hundred years.

“The Book of Heavenly Works contains not only refining methods but also the Fire Li Sect’s unique fire controlling arts and the associated Cultivation Techniques. As long as I can obtain it, I will definitely advance to quasi-Emperor within ten years with my talent. Martial Emperor would be within my reach.”

A strong look of confidence flashed in Mo Chen’s eyes, making her look very charming.

Xiao Chen did not argue. He smiled faintly and said, “That’s right. At that time, perhaps I will need you to be my bodyguard. Hmm…one year is too short. You will have to do it for ten years.”

Mo Chen’s eyes lit up, and she replied gravely, “Good. It’s settled, then. When I become a quasi-Emperor, I will be your bodyguard for ten years.”

Xiao Chen smiled and did not take this seriously. After making some small talk, he left.

Once he recovered his strength, he would be able to rival a quasi-Emperor. Why would he need Mo Chen’s protection?

After that, the seas were so vast. He might never return to the Cloud Sea Domain.

He was not likely to interact further with Mo Chen. The two were just brushing shoulders, leaving only memories.

Xiao Chen was the Azure Dragon King. He still had a long path to walk. The Cloud Sea Domain was destined to be just a small detour.

However, he did not know that for some people, just like him, the moment they said something, they would treat their words like gold, honoring them to the end.

Even if Mo Chen had to travel to the ends of the world, she would come chasing after him. Even when her hair grew to her waist, she would come to protect Xiao Chen for ten years.

[Note: When hair grows to the waist: This is a Chinese meme, which basically means to wait a long time.]

Xiao Chen returned to his room and took out a Heavenly Origin Pill. After listening to Ao Jiao explain the things to pay note to, he did not hesitate to swallow it.

As the Medicinal Energy permeated his body, the origin of his Law Energy, which had shattered into countless pieces, slowly merged; the process went extremely smoothly.

Xiao Chen revealed an expression of joy. Then, taking his time, he silently circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, directing the shattered bits of the Law Energy’s origin.

In the dark and chaotic area outside the dantian, a spot of light appeared. Then, the light gradually brightened. Soon, his entire body, from the inside out, started to release a brilliance.

Xiao Chen’s fine black hair and even his clothes turned crystalline.

His delicate face seemed like that of an ancient deity walking out of a painting amid the brilliant light, looking extraordinarily handsome.

After about fifteen minutes, the moment Xiao Chen digested all the Medicinal Energy, his Law Energy’s origin completely reformed. Now, he was recovered from his fall, returning to Martial Sage. action

Rings of purple Heavenly Sage Laws appeared behind him. However, there were only one hundred of them. His cultivation was only at Inferior Grade Martial Sage.

Nevertheless, his Heavenly Sage Laws were the circular ones that only grandmaster-level Martial Sages could have. As long as he swallowed ten Peak Spirit Veins, he could completely recover his cultivation, returning to the peak and even going higher.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen decided not to recover his peak strength yet.

Peak great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, peak Rank 4 Sage Body, and five Dragon Force—such strength would definitely frighten Mu Qinghan, deterring Mu Qinghan from working with him. Xiao Chen might as well wait for a while. There was no need to rush this. After all, as long as he wanted, he could return to his peak in one step.

Just as he was about to stop cultivating, the hundred rings of purple Heavenly Sage Laws suddenly started to change gradually.

The Azure Dragon Yuanying in Xiao Chen’s dantian quickly swam around. The Heavenly Sage Laws behind Xiao Chen seemed to obey it, moving together with it.

A transformation started. Under entirely unexpected circumstances, his Heavenly Sage Laws began to change.

These Heavenly Sage Laws transformed into huge, fierce dragons, complete with a king’s aura spreading strong might in all directions, born amid sparks of electricity.

Success follows the right conditions. Is this what Elder Qin was referring to?

At a certain area of the Shattered Cloud Sea, a small ship quietly floated on the water.

A white-haired old man wearing a conical bamboo hat sat on the bow of this ship, a black cloak draped over him. He held a metal fishing pole, quietly fishing in the sea.

There was no wind or waves. The ship just bobbed up and down on the water, remaining in place.

If the cultivators of the Cloud Sea Domain passed by, they would definitely recognize this old man. He was a famous loose cultivator in the Cloud Sea Domain, known as the Old Fish Devil, a peak great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

“Whoosh!”

A piercing sonic boom resounded, and a pretty middle-aged lady walked over on the water from the distance. She wore a long red dress, looking like a blooming peony and exuding a floral fragrance.

“Old Fish Devil, you did not even put any bait. Can you even catch a fish with your fishing pole?” the pretty middle-aged lady asked as she approached. She looked very charming.

This lady did not show any fear when facing this infamous loose cultivator who killed without feeling anything.

This pretty middle-aged lady was also a loose cultivator. Her cultivation and infamy were no less than the Old Fish Devil’s.

In fact, this pretty middle-aged lady might even surpass the Old Fish Devil. Bizarrely, all the people she killed turned into red bones.

“Madame Flower, I am not fishing. I am waiting for the fish to leap out on its own,” the Old Fish Devil replied indifferently with a strange laugh.

“Haha! This fish of yours is indeed big. Can you finish it on your own if it leaps out?”

The pretty middle-aged lady addressed as Madame Flower laughed gently. The sound of it possessed an enticing charm.

The Old Fish Devil smiled and said, “Aren’t our old friends all here already?”

A mild wind blew, and the seawater rose and fell. Clouds moved in all directions. Three great grandmaster-level Martial Sages of different ages and auras quickly came over from the distance despite appearing to move slowly.

One of these three people was two meters tall with a wide waist and broad shoulders. The muscles on his body were like many small mounds, all looking very solid.

This person carried on his back a broadsword that looked like a plank and weighed several tons.

Known as the Iron Sword Maniac, this person practiced a ferocious and firm Sword Technique. When he burst forth with his full power, even ordinary quasi-Emperors would not dare to go head-on with him.

There was one youth with a head of silver hair. He exuded ferocious killing Qi but looked upright and graceful. However, his eyes were blood-red.

This person looked like a Fiend Beast walking upright.

In actual fact, that was kind of so. This silver-haired youth was from the Fiend Race of the sea. He was from the Silver Shark Race, a Silver Shark that had gained spirituality and taken human form.

In the Cloud Sea Domain, his infamy was worse than the Old Fish Devil’s. His killing methods were the cruelest.

The remaining one was an old man with a face full of wrinkles. He wore a hemp shirt and looked very calm. However, of the five, his cultivation was the highest.

This old man was a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage who had already come in contact with the huge chasm that a quasi-Emperor would see, only a step shy of starting to construct the bridge.

This old man’s name was Gao Yangyu. Of the five great loose cultivators here, he was the leader.

[Note: This Gao Yangyu is different from the previous one, the City Lord of Wrestling City in the Sky Dome Realm; Xiao Chen already killed that Gao Yangyu.]

The five great loose cultivators of the Cloud Sea Domain normally remained in their respective territories. Unusually, they all gathered together today. If they did not have any plans, no one would believe it.

Gao Yangyu said, “Old Fish Devil, in total, you have been to the treasure mountain five times already. Are you really confident that the treasure mountain will appear here this time?”

Without even pulling back his fishing pole, the Old Fish Devil replied calmly, “Not everyone is here yet. When everyone has gathered, I will tell you.”

Right after the Old Fish Devil spoke, a horrifying wave suddenly appeared on the sea. The small ship bobbed up and down, tossed by the wave—a very startling sight.

A young-looking man walked through the splashes of water amid the strong wind and huge wave.

This person even had a wound on this shoulder. Clearly, he had just been through a fierce battle. Although blood flowed, his expression did not change as if he did not feel anything.

In the instant the youth stepped through the wave, everything regained its calm.

It was like this youth was the king of the sea. Everywhere he went, no one dared to not submit. This was the will of kingship; by raising his hand, he could subdue those around him.

“Xuanyuan Zhantian!”

The gazes of the five all focused on this person. They had grave expressions on their faces as if they were confronting a strong rival.

The youth before the group was merely a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. However, he put strong pressure on these great grandmaster-level Martial Sages.

Even Gao Yangyu frowned slightly, revealing a cautious expression.

This youth had arrived in the Cloud Sea Domain four years ago. He had had some unknown fortuitous encounters and killed his way through the loose cultivators of the Cloud Sea Domain in a mere two years to where he was now—the sixth great cultivator after the five before him.

“Everyone is here. I can talk about it now. If there are no surprises, in another fifteen minutes, the treasure mountain will appear in the sea in front.”

The group looked in the direction that the Old Fish Devil indicated. It seemed to be an extremely ordinary place; nothing strange could be seen from it at the surface.

Xuanyuan Zhantian frowned and said, “That place does not look special at all. How do you know that the treasure mountain will appear there?”

Smiling, the Old Fish Devil replied, “The fish at the bottom of the sea told me. Whether you believe me or not is up to you, but after fifteen minutes, you will see the results.”

The others were dubious. If they had not believed the Old Fish Devil at all, they would not have come to the Shattered Cloud Sea from so far away. Ultimately, this person was someone who had been to the treasure mountain five times.

The time slowly approached. Fifteen minutes was very fast; it could be counted in seconds. Everyone’s gaze focused on the area that the Old Fish Devil had pointed to.

“Boom!”

After everyone finished the countdown in their hearts, a sharp tip suddenly protruded from the sea. In the next instant, the sharp tip soared up into the clouds, becoming a tall mountain shrouded by clouds.

Mist covered the tall mountain, appearing indistinct. The group could see a broken-down palace and sense the ancient aura of a Remnant. Occasionally, the light of treasures and seven-colored Spirit Herbs flashed.

The six great loose cultivators of the Cloud Sea Domain all revealed joy in their eyes. The treasure mountain, it was indeed the treasure mountain. The Old Fish Devil was right.
