Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

The Savage Battlefield was located in the north of the Tianwu Domain, and the Supreme Sky Sect was in the south. The distance between the north and south numbered in the millions of kilometers. However, the transportation formation could shorten the distance.

Even so, the transportation formation could not send people directly into the Savage Battlefield. Thus, the group sat on Shui Lingling’s Profound Sun Bird to travel quickly. With the Profound Sun Bird’s speed of Mach 10, they could save a lot of time.

After Jun Si heard everything, she had some doubts. She asked, “First Senior Sister, from what you said, doesn’t that mean that the Savage Battlefield will have young experts of the other races?”

Xiao Chen and the others could not help but look over in curiosity as well. They were also rather concerned about this problem. If there were experts of other races, then the competition would be even intenser.

Shui Lingling shook her head and replied, “There won’t be. Back then, if not for our four human Martial Emperors beating back the eighteen Demon Emperors of the Demonic World by themselves, all the Martial Emperors of the other races would have died.

“The Savage Battlefield is a land of experiential training that our human predecessors gained for us later generations. The other races are not allowed in.”

All her listeners released their bated breaths at the same time. However, Shui Lingling smiled gently and added, “Even so, nothing is absolute. The various clans and sects of the Fiend Race are able to keep their disciples in check. However, like our Tianwu Domain, they can’t control their loose cultivators, either.”

Chen Xiao interrupted at this point. “First Senior Sister, that means we are likely to run into cultivators of the Fiend Race. Please tell us how the Fiend Race cultivators compare to human ones.”

“They are very strong. As of now, the Fiend Race is one of the five strongest races.” Shui Lingling thought for a while before continuing in a low voice, “Since ancient times, several races have disappeared into the long river of time, never to be seen again.

“For these five races to retain their previous glory and not have their line of inheritance end, all of them have something they are good at. They cannot be underestimated. Compared to us humans, they are not weak at all.

“In simple terms, the Fiend Race cultivators’ comprehension ability is not as good as the humans’. However, their physical bodies are much stronger than the human race’s. It is hard to compare who is stronger or weaker; it depends on the criterion.”

Shui Lingling continued, “However, all the Fiend Race experts who carry the Spirit Fiend bloodline cannot be underestimated. In terms of talent, they are no weaker than us humans; they might even be stronger.”

Spirit Fiends were the most ancient Fiend Race. They were the ancestors of the current Spirit Beasts. However, their bloodline had diluted over time, so the Spirit Beasts stopped being born as Fiends. They needed to cultivate after they were born before they could become Fiends again.

“Xiu!”

Just at this moment, a pavilion-shaped white-jade warship flew over quickly from behind. Sound waves spread out, and a scary aura arrived ahead of the warship.

Hu Hai looked back and frowned. “That is the Full Moon Pavilion’s White Jade Ship. The one leading them is the top bladesman of the south, Feng Xingsheng. They are here as well.”

Xiao Chen looked up and saw Feng Xingsheng, whom he had seen once, standing upright into the wind with his left hand on the saber hanging at his waist.

Feng Xingsheng’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, piercing through the air. Even from ten kilometers away, exchanging looks could inflict a mild pain in the eyes.

Jun Si and the others could not stand this for long. They exclaimed in astonishment, “What a strong saber intent! It looks like Feng Xingsheng has grown stronger again.”

Shui Lingling nodded gently and said, “The strength of bladesmen is always frightening. They have the calm of swordsmen but also extra pride and tyranny.

“There are not many true bladesmen in the world; most people are merely cultivators who used the saber. In the younger generation, Feng Xingsheng is definitely a true bladesman.”

When Jun Si heard this, she sneaked a glance at Xiao Chen, who had not looked away. She thought to herself, First Senior Sister has such a high evaluation of Feng Xingsheng. I wonder what she thinks of Xiao Chen?

Is he a true bladesman as well?

“Shui Lingling, it has been a long time.”

The White Jade Ship caught up to the Profound Sun Bird. When Feng Xingsheng saw Shui Lingling, he greeted her.

Shui Lingling nodded slightly and smiled gently. “It has indeed been a long time. Your improvements are really astonishing. You can probably start challenging us seven giants in less than a year.”

Feng Xingsheng revealed a faint smile on his stern face. He said earnestly, “Don’t worry. You will be the last one I challenge. I will go on ahead first. See you at the Savage Battlefield.”

In the eighteen southern provinces, only Shui Lingling numbered among the seven giants. Although these two had no grudges with each other, because of the title of “giant,” the rivalry was fierce.

Therefore, even though Feng Xingsheng’s tone seemed peaceful, it actually hid intense fighting spirit.

Shui Lingling smiled faintly, not showing any fear on her elegant and pretty face.

“Chi!”

Just as the warship was about to accelerate and overtake the Profound Sun Bird, Feng Xingsheng suddenly raised his hand to stop the White Jade Ship. Then he looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise.

Feng Xingsheng’s pupils contracted. He committed to memory the white-robed and plain-looking Xiao Chen with a withdrawn aura. After that, he allowed the warship to continue on its way.

“First Senior Brother, what’s wrong?” a female disciple asked out of curiosity on the White Jade Ship.

Feng Xingsheng said casually, “Nothing’s wrong. I just saw a person whose saber intent is not weaker than mine, and I was surprised.”

Hearing this, the other true inheritors of the Full Moon Pavilion evinced great shock on their faces, completely stunned by Feng Xingsheng’s casual words.

While others did not know how strong Feng Xingsheng’s saber intent was, these people were very clear on it. He had already comprehended his saber intent to Great Perfection, something that many veteran bladesmen had yet to achieve.

Furthermore, Feng Xingsheng’s saber intent was a perfect Great Perfection saber intent. He could launch and withdraw it freely, moving it as he pleased.

That person from the Supreme Sky Sect had merely stood there quietly. How could he be like their talented First Senior Brother, comprehending a Great Perfection saber intent at such a young age?

“I remember now. He is the White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen, the madman who challenged Bai Wuxue,” said the girl who spoke earlier.

A brilliant light flashed in Feng Xingsheng’s eyes. He said softly, “So, it is him. It looks like I will have to go and watch the battle at the Extreme Yin Sect.”

Back on the Profound Sun Bird, the other five looked at Xiao Chen in interest. Clearly, they were shocked that Feng Xingsheng would stop the warship specially to take a better look at Xiao Chen.

Bladesmen were usually extraordinarily calm and indifferent to life and death. Very few things could unsettle their emotions.

Shui Lingling smiled and said, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you are really unfathomable. I wonder what exactly Feng Xingsheng saw that shocked him so much.”

Xiao Chen remained calm. He knew that it would be very hard for him to hide his saber intent from a true bladesman. That should be what Feng Xingsheng saw.

He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Then he said casually, “Who knows?”

Xiao Chen did not wish to expose his trump card, so it was not convenient for the others to ask about it. After all, everyone had their own secrets. Even they had their own secrets to keep.

Just at this moment, a faint floral fragrance wafted over. A gorgeous ship flew over them silently.

Hu Hai said somewhat angrily, “It’s the Thousand Mystery Sect’s Fly Fragrance Ship. That fellow, Hua Dao, is really courageous. He actually dares to fly over us. Even Feng Xingsheng does not dare to be that arrogant.”

Hua Dao, the top true inheritor of the Thousand Mystery Sect, also came from the eighteen southern provinces. Long ago, he had lost badly to Shui Lingling. Clearly, he was significantly weaker than her.

Shui Lingling’s lips curled up in a casual smile. “Just leave him be. I want to see if he still dares to be this arrogant in the Savage Battlefield.”

“Xiu!”

A sharp killing intent pierced through the air, encasing Xiao Chen, who tensed up immediately, ready to enter combat anytime.

However, that killing intent passed in a flash, quickly withdrawn before Shui Lingling picked it up.

Xiao Chen looked up and saw an elegant man in flowery robes on the ship staring coldly at him.

Shui Lingling had sharp senses; she still managed to detect that trace of killing intent. She said, “Xiao Chen, I forget to tell you. Zhuo Ping, whose nose you broke, is the fiancée of this person. It looks like he has targeted you.

“Hua Dao is a very vicious person. For the sake of achieving his goals, he will use any means. He would be willing to do all sorts of despicable things. On this trip, you absolutely cannot go off on your own.”

Jun Si burst out in giggles. As she tried to stifle her laughter with her hands, she said, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you really do not have any compassion for the fairer sex. You even broke that pretty girl’s nose.”

Jun Si convulsed in laughter until her bright eyes were reduced to two crescent slits. Combined with her good looks, she appeared adorable.

This laughter infected everyone. This was originally a grave issue, but they could not help but start laughing.

Hu Hai guffawed rambunctiously. He could not help patting Xiao Chen’s shoulder as he said, “It’s fine. That bitch is nothing good anyway. Big Brother Hu supports you!”

If that fellow Hua Dao tries to harm you, I will be the first to help.

Ao Jiao, who was caring for the Netherworld Flower in the Immortal Spirit Ring, also giggled. So what if you broke her nose and caused it to be crooked? The next time that bitch tries to sneak-attack you, I will help you hit her until her mouth goes crooked as well.

All this rendered Xiao Chen speechless. These people really wished for chaos in the world. As the top true inheritor of the Thousand Mystery Sect, even if Hua Dao was not as strong as Feng Xingsheng, he would not be easy to deal with, either. Furthermore, according to Shui Lingling, this person was a vile character who would use any means. Methods that righteous people would not use might be very familiar to this person.

Shui Lingling smiled warmly. As her purple clothes fluttered in the wind, she looked like an angel that fell to earth. “Xiao Chen, you don’t have to worry too much about Hua Dao. If he dares to do anything, I will smash him to death immediately. The Savage Battlefield is not like the other places.”

While Shui Lingling’s words sounded insouciant, she revealed an undoubtable confidence and tyranny, evoking a sense of security.

Now, when the six looked in front, they could see a faint black screen in the distant horizon linking the ground with the sky. However, as they were still far away, it was still not that clear.

Along the way, the group met more people going to the same place, outstanding talents coming from all over the Tianwu Domain; every one of them had excellent skills. They all held great anticipation in their hearts as they flew excitedly to the Savage Battlefield.

Occasionally, people would come to greet Xiao Chen’s group. Of course, all this was due to Shui Lingling.

As the only girl among the seven giants, a gorgeous one at that, Shui Lingling was quite popular. Furthermore, her appeal was not limited to just the eighteen southern provinces but extended throughout the entire Tianwu Domain.

Three days later, the group could see that faint black barrier very clearly.

The barrier was a wall of dense black Qi. It was unknown how thick this wall was. It ran from the ground to the sky, forming a Demonic Barrier and sealing the space within.

The black Demonic Qi gave off a fearsome aura. Looking at it for a long time induced an excruciating pressure in one’s heart.
