Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

There were only five King Grade Secret Treasures. Di Wuque had already made the first move. Xiao Chen did not know how long the traps and restrictions along the way would delay him.

So, Xiao Chen could not help but increase his speed. After a long time, he finally arrived at the doors of the vast Treasury Hall.

The doors had opened long ago. Above them, the words “Treasury Hall” emanated powerful and vast energy, appearing full of spirituality. The cultivators who arrived here all paused and gazed at Xiao Chen for a moment. Their eyes all revealed an expression of caution; they did not dare to underestimate him.

He was someone bold enough to clash with Di Wuque at the Sage Mark Monument. He had stood on top of the Sage Mark Monument—an unprecedented feat. Finally, he kicked down the unparalleled Di Wuque.

After this, the name White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen would definitely spread. The reappearance of the Azure Emperor’s descendant would stir up a storm in spades.

Xiao Chen looked away from the doors and stepped inside. After he entered, he arrived in a spacious room. Ancient murals decorated the walls. Nine passageways in the surroundings waited for the arriving cultivators to choose.

Just casually pick one. All of them will eventually lead to the great hall containing the King Grade Secret Treasure. After that, you can go up to the next floor from there, Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring. Back then, the Thunder Emperor had also come here. Naturally, she would be familiar with this place.

Just as Xiao Chen was about to make a choice, someone came in from outside, attracting his attention. That person appeared shocked, clearly not expecting to meet Xiao Chen here.

Xiao Chen glanced at this person, and after he saw that person’s appearance, he ignored him and calmly picked a passageway.

Hatred flashed in Bai Wuxue’s eyes in the spacious room. After a mere half year, Xiao Chen was not even interested enough to look at him properly anymore.

Stone doors lined the two sides of the passageway. Xiao Chen entered one of these doors to check the room behind. Aside from fragments of puppets, there was nothing else. Clearly, someone already took the Secret Treasures.

After this sight, Xiao Chen did not bother entering these rooms. He moved quickly, occasionally running into some combat puppets. He did not show any mercy, using the fastest method to deal with them.

A short while later, he arrived at the great hall that led to the next level. A stone platform in the middle of the hall bore a box containing a sword flickering with electric light.

Sparks of electricity floated down continuously from the air above the stone platform, looking extremely strange.

A miniature transportation formation hovering in the air flashed rays of light continuously. This should be the way to the next level.

Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, rubbed her head. Feeling doubtful, she asked, Strange, why did Di Wuque not take away this King Grade Secret Treasure?

Xiao Chen thought for a while before answering, It is not strange. Di Wuque and Tian Youxi are only two people. They can take only four Secret Treasures in total. They have to give up on one.

Inside the hall, aside from Xiao Chen, there were a few other people, who were staring at the Extreme Thunder Sword on the stone platform. They all revealed a strong desire to possess it.

Xiao Chen sized up these people and discovered that he had seen most of them before.

On the west side were the two men and one girl of the Merfolk Race from the Chaotic Demonic Sea. Of all the people in the hall, these three had the most urgent looks in their eyes.

To the north was a Fiend Race cultivator in blue. Xiao Chen had noticed this person carving his name on the Sage Mark Monument. According to Ying Qiong, he was known as the Azure Wolf Swordsman and was one of the Fiend Race Noble Clans’ scions in the Profound Domain.

The strength and accumulations of this clan were no weaker than a human Sovereign Noble Clan’s. The Martial Emperor holding down the fort was called the Azure Wolf King.

Although the Azure Wolf King had not yet advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor, the Azure Wolf Race no longer had any ties with the Fiend Domain. Rumor said that the Azure Wolf King had gotten chased out, due to an irreconcilable conflict with the Spirit Fox King.

Not far away were three Deity Race old men. Although none of them were Keepers, they were already a hundred years old. By relying on their deep cultivation and the Mental Energy Martial Techniques unique to the Deity Race, they could compete with the demonic geniuses of the younger generation.

The person across Xiao Chen was a middle-aged man giving off a sharp sword intent. He had a fervent gaze as he stared at that sword in the box.

As a swordsman, that person’s greatest wish would be to obtain a good sword. This person’s sword intent even evoked some fear in Xiao Chen that he wondered if the middle-aged man had condensed a sword soul.

The Kunlun Realm was full of hidden talents, so it was not surprising to run into these hidden experts.

There were also cultivators of various races wanting to take advantage of the subsequent chaos to benefit. All of them had avid gazes. Among them were even some experts that Xiao Chen had not taken note of.

However, all this had nothing to do with Xiao Chen. He did not use the sword. He did not have any desire for the sword inside the box. He could only obtain two Secret Treasures in this place. He could not waste his opportunity on this Secret Treasure that had nothing to do with him.

“Outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm, I am Princess Yao Yan of the Chaotic Demonic Sea’s Merfolk Race. My race is currently facing a crisis of extermination. I implore everyone to let us have this Extreme Thunder Sword. This lady represents the entire Merfolk Race to owe everyone a debt of gratitude. We will definitely repay this in the future.”

Just as Xiao Chen prepared to leave, the Merfolk Race girl took a step forward and tendered a sincere request.

Xiao Chen could not help but smile. This girl was truly naive. Given the temptation of a King Grade Secret Treasure, who would back out just based on her words?

“Haha! Do you think we are fools?” the Azure Wolf Swordsman mocked. “What does the life or death of the Merfolk Race have to do with me?”

The middle-aged swordsman stared fixedly at the box containing the sword on the stone platform. It was like he never heard what this girl said. He muttered to himself, “This sword is called the Extreme Thunder Sword? That is a horrible name. After I get it, I should rename it.”

As for the three Deity Race old men, they were even more overboard. They smiled coldly and said, “Even the Merfolk Race dares to come to the Kunlun Continent and give orders? Do you think our Deity Race no longer exists?”

“Your Highness, why bother to speak so much nonsense with them? Just directly attack.” Mu Yun had an explosive temper. He could not help but flare up immediately.

As for the elder brother, Mu Lei, he showed a grave expression but did not say anything. If they were to insist on attacking, their chances of success would only be fifty percent at most. How could it be that simple?

Young Master Xiao, along the way, I heard many people talk about you. Back then, our Merfolk Race once helped the Azure Emperor in his expedition to the ocean. As the Azure Emperor’s descendant, will you consider old relations?

Suddenly, Xiao Chen heard that Merfolk Race girl’s voice in his head. He could not help but look at the other party strangely.

The Merfolk Race girl did not avoid Xiao Chen’s gaze. She continued projecting her voice. My race is really at the risk of extermination and urgently needs this Extreme Thunder Sword to save us. If you help us today, the Merfolk Race will remember this kindness without fail.

Xiao Chen thought to himself without saying anything. He was not someone easily swayed with a few words. However, he now hesitated.

The mysterious box containing the sword lay quietly on the stone platform as the electric sparks drifted down continuously.

The outstanding talents from everywhere eyed each other ferociously. Even if they could not use this King Grade Secret Treasure, they could take it to an auction and obtain a high price. The sword was a very commonly used weapon.

Princess Yao Yan of the Merfolk Race showed some anticipation in her eyes as she quietly waited for Xiao Chen’s answer.

Very well. If the Merfolk Race really did help the Azure Emperor in the past, then I shall repay this favor today. I hope that you are not cheating me.

The affairs of the world were rife with evil. Who lied and who spoke the truth? How could Xiao Chen take such a risk after listening to her words? He trusted her for the time being. After acknowledging his status as the Azure Emperor’s descendant, there were some things that he had to face.

Many thanks, Young Master Xiao. Princess Yao Yan heaved a sigh of relief. With Xiao Chen’s assistance and the three of them, they now had a seventy percent chance of obtaining the Extreme Thunder Sword.

The hall now turned rather quiet. No one dared to make a rash move. All the cultivators stared cautiously at the others, secretly building up momentum and energy.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He did not have much time to waste here. He had to deal with this quickly.

Electric light flashed under Xiao Chen’s feet, and an instant later, he was standing on the stone platform. He looked at the box below and did not take it. He looked calmly at his surroundings and said, “I, Xiao Chen, want this sword. If there is anyone not convinced, you may come forward and fight me.”

The surrounding cultivators all noticed that Xiao Chen was a bladesman. His interest in this Extreme Thunder Sword was unexpected. Everyone’s expression immediately turned uncertain.

Xiao Chen’s strength spoke for itself. The explosive speed of his Thunder Dragon Steps just now already far surpassed the best speed of most of the cultivators here.

However, if that was all Xiao Chen had, it would not be possible for him to force them back with one sentence. No matter what, Xiao Chen was just a lower-realm genius that came to the Kunlun Realm two years ago.

“What bold words! You really think yourself as the Azure Emperor? Even Di Wuque does not dare to say this,” the Azure Wolf Swordsman said with a gloomy expression. He lacked a suitable sword at the moment. How could he let anyone interfere with him obtaining one?

The middle-aged human swordsman revealed eyes as sharp as a sword. He suddenly moved his right hand to his sword’s handle. Then, his sword intent buzzed and kicked up a wind.

The three Deity Race old men seethed with hatred for Xiao Chen. The middle one smiled coldly and said, “Everyone, there is no need to speak so much with him. All we have to do is attack together. This fellow will know what a miserable ending is after this.”

All the Inferior Grade Martial Sages who were here to fish in troubled waters became excited. To them, the more chaotic the situation was, the better. Xiao Chen’s words clearly helped them achieve what they needed.

Suddenly, a resplendent light flared up. An unparalleled sword intent howled like a berserk wind, spreading through the entire hall. It felt like a strand of sword Qi passed by everyone.

The first to rush at Xiao Chen was actually that middle-aged swordsman. The moment he attacked, he revealed a strong might. The wild sword intent gave the many cultivators around the illusion that it was unblockable.

Don’t make a move yet. Wait for an opportunity to take the sword for yourself. Yao Yan was preparing to help Xiao Chen when his voice rang out in her mind. She stopped involuntarily.

Xiao Chen’s pupils constricted as he watched that strand of sword intent that said that only one could exist. The unparalleled saber Qi in his body opposed it without fear.

When the light faded, another sword appeared in front of Xiao Chen’s eyes. The middle-aged swordsman had already charged forward. As he swung a flowing sword light, he executed an exquisite Sword Technique imbued with his peak Consummation sword intent.

The sword light flickered, and the figure of that middle-aged swordsman appeared in seventy-two directions. Every sword was real; none of them was fake.

The middle-aged swordsman was very satisfied with this move of his. He specialized in using a fast sword. Speed was the key to his Sword Techniques. The only way to break this move was to be faster than him.
