Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Xiao Chen withdrew the Big Dipper Banner into his sea of consciousness and said with a sullen voice, “If that is all you are capable of, you can’t kill me. Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, I, Xiao Chen, will remember you two. As sure as the green mountains do not change and the river continues to flow, I will come for your heads someday.”

[

“Great Sun Incantation, burning the vacuum!”

The Magic Energy in Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness, which had already tripled in size, suddenly burned, completely draining in an instant. A blazing sun appeared in the night sky without warning and turned into the ancient word for “sun” as it descended.

“Boom!”

The fire of the sun covered the sky, making the flaming tornadoes filling the air and the massive army explode.

The surging heat wave blasted out through the air. Tall mountains for fifty kilometers around instantly turned into flat land. All sorts of lights flared up like fireworks, lasting for a long time.

By the time everything calmed down, Xiao Chen’s figure was nowhere in sight.

This outcome stunned the hemp-robed old man and the middle-aged man. They recalled their King Grade Secret Treasures only after a long time.

“Mister Qin died right under our watch. It will be hard for us to give an account to the Medicine God Valley.”

The middle-aged man retorted in frustration, “Give an account? What for? If we go, we will end up beaten to death.

“I’m only feeling heartache over the Primal Essence Nature Pill. This brat snatched it away. That is a King Grade Medicinal Pill that can greatly increase our cultivation.”

The hemp-robed old man sighed, “This time, we made a great loss. Just ignore this brat. We should return quickly to the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland and see if we can make up for our losses.”

“How unlucky! If we had not made that promise to Mister Qin, we might already have had a great harvest in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland.”

“That might not be so. The Heavenly Ruin Wasteland is rife with Immortal sect Remnants. It was the location of a Supreme Immortal Sect in the Immortal Epoch. Even quasi-Emperors enter it. We will just be minor characters in there.”

Xiao Chen ran frantically for hundreds of kilometers and finally stopped at a majestic city. The name “Juge” was inscribed above the city gates; this was one of the highly ranked cities of the Primal Chaos Domain.

Many cultivators wandered this city; Martial Sage experts could be found everywhere here.

Xiao Chen thought for a while. As of now, many people wanted to kill him. Rather than hiding outside, he might as well just rest up in this city for some time.

After that, he could rush to the Martial God Palace in the Central Province to participate in his King conferring ceremony.

By hiding in such a large crowd, he would be like a needle buried in a haystack. Even a powerful character who knew divination would not have an easy time finding him.

Xiao Chen put on the Heavenly Sea Cloak and headed for the city gates. He easily entered the city like he was air.

When he reached an inn that catered specially to cultivators in the city, he paid some Astral Coins and booked a suite.

Only now did Xiao Chen relax. He was safe for the moment. He sat cross-legged on the bed and started to recuperate from his injuries.

The middle-aged man’s Army Killing Fist had been boundlessly tyrannical and filled with vigor. Xiao Chen could not fully negate the energy lingering in his internal organs back then, so his injuries had yet to heal completely.

Now that he had a moment to rest, it was time for him to get rid of this scarlet energy.

This energy turned out to be harder to deal with than Xiao Chen expected. The scarlet energy stabbed into his internal organs. It might look short, but it was stuck deep in his organs, making it hard to remove.

Only after three days did he feel better. A light flashed in his eyes as he quickly checked Mister Qin’s spatial ring.

Indeed, it was as Xiao Chen expected. The Heavenly Secret Divination Disk floated quietly within the spatial ring.

After fiddling around with the Heavenly Secret Divination Disk, Xiao Chen thought to himself, After killing Mister Qin, I have thoroughly offended the Medicine God Valley. This will be a source of great trouble in the future.

The Medicine God Valley is a peak faction in the Profound Domain, much stronger than the Heaven and Earth Sect. Its overall power is no weaker than that of the Supreme Sky Sect.

“Hey! What is this?!”

A jade bottle within the spatial ring drew the attention of Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense, interrupting his thoughts.

That jade bottle gave off a spiritual light. The entire thing was translucent with light flowing around it. Unexpectedly, it could not shield the spiritual light of the Medicinal Pill within it.

What pill is it? Surprisingly, its spiritual light is so intense.

This spiritual light was too intense—so much that Xiao Chen did not dare to take it out. He got off the bed and entered the cultivation room of his suite before gingerly taking out the jade bottle.

As an inn specially catering to cultivators, the more expensive suites had cultivation rooms in them. These rooms could block out the Spiritual Energy fluctuations that resulted from cultivation.

The crystalline jade bottle was translucent with Spiritual Energy wafting out. This Spiritual Energy took on a dragon shape and swam around the room through clouds of Spiritual Energy.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and sucked, directly ingesting several of these Spiritual Energy dragons.

His entire body suddenly felt extremely comfortable. Purple Heavenly Sage Laws around his dantian surged and churned as they absorbed this Spiritual Energy, appearing to be very satisfied.

“Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!”

Ten new Heavenly Sage Laws appeared, newly formed. They were as thick as a thumb but gave off a dense purple light, flickering with electricity.

Xiao Chen felt astonished in his heart. What Medicinal Pill is this? To think that it can make Spiritual Energy take the form of dragons! Just one breath increased my cultivation by a portion. Doesn’t this mean that the result will be very incredible if I consume the actual pill?

Xiao Chen’s cultivation was different from ordinary people’s. Without any fortuitous encounters, he would normally need at least one month to increase his cultivation by that much.

He looked at the jade bottle with great excitement. He had not expected Mister Qin to have such a Medicinal Pill on hand.

If his guess was right, this was the reward for the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders. It should be a precious King Grade Medicinal Pill that could raise a person’s cultivation.

“Good! What I lack now is cultivation. Mister Qin, Mister Qin, you have given me something I am in dire need of.”

Xiao Chen opened the jade bottle to consume the pill. A dim light shot out of the bottle the instant he uncapped it, trying to escape.

“Bang!” The dim light crashed into the restrictions of the wall and cried painfully—it was a Medicinal Pill the width of a thumb. There was a small face on it with eyes and a mouth but no nose.

The Medicinal Pill even had small arms and legs. As it rubbed its head in pain, it looked very cute.

A Pill Spirit?

Xiao Chen had heard stories of Medicinal Pills gaining a spirit. However, he never imagined he would see one himself.

Fortunately, the strength of this Medicinal Pill was not much, and he had had the wisdom to open the jade bottle in the cultivation room. Otherwise, it would really end up escaping.

“Come back!”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and a strong suction pulled the Medicinal Pill to his palm.

The small Medicinal Pill stood pitifully on Xiao Chen’s palm, sobbing. Clearly, it felt very wronged and did not want to get eaten.

Unmoved by the Medicinal Pill, Xiao Chen said, “Don’t feel wronged over this. The purpose of refining Medicinal Pills is so that people can eat—”

Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, this seemingly pitiful little Pill Spirit shook its head and opened its mouth wide, expanding to the size of a watermelon, and tried to bite Xiao Chen’s head.

“Hehe! After I consume you, an idiot, I can truly become a Pill Spirit. This broken room will not be able to contain me,” the Pill Spirit laughed maliciously.

A Pill Spirit swallowing the master!

Xiao Chen’s expression remained placid as he smashed down his palm. Law Energy surged out, and electric light flickered. The Pill Spirit died with a miserable shriek.

A smooth, glossy Medicinal Pill appeared before Xiao Chen. He could even see some Primal Qi swimming around inside the Medicinal Pill.

Given that the Medicinal Pill had gained a spirit, Xiao Chen was certain that this was a King Grade Medicinal Pill.

However, because the Medicinal Pill had been refined only recently, the spirit was not very strong. Otherwise, he would not have been able to deal with it that easily.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and did not hesitate to swallow the Primal Essence Nature Pill. He circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation and absorbed the energy ravenously, emitting purple rays from his body.

All of Xiao Chen’s black hair turned a crystalline purple. The entire room became a sea of lightning with all sorts of mutated beasts swimming in the sea and roaring at the sky.

The Medicinal Energy of this pill made Xiao Chen feel incredibly comfortable. He had always felt like a child that could not eat enough; the ambient Spiritual Energy could not satisfy him.

However, once he swallowed the pill, his bones, flesh, blood, and his Heavenly Sage Laws all felt replete.

After refining the pill for whole three days, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, wishing he could continue doing so. His purple hair had not changed back to its original color yet, looking awe-inspiring and sinister.

In three days, Xiao Chen’s cultivation increased from early-stage Medial Grade Martial Sage to middle-stage. As he licked his lips, he thought, This pill is really great.

Unfortunately, there is only one. If there were another eight to ten of this, I might be able to advance directly to Superior Grade Martial Sage. By then, I could face grandmaster-level Martial Sages properly.

However, this is already pretty good. Given my cultivation now, I will not be so passive like before with the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, unable to do anything.

Xiao Chen got up and went out. After muttering to himself for a while, he donned a scarlet cape. This was a Sage Grade Secret Treasure, which had the effect of raising one’s speed, from the hemp-robed old man’s collection.

A light like that of blood flowed around the cape. As the red cape swished around, it looked extremely flashy.

Then, Xiao Chen changed the color of the blue Sea Monarch Headscarf into red as he tied it around his forehead. Together with his full head of purple hair, his persona immediately changed markedly; he now looked like he was an elite disciple of an evil sect.

Those who were not particularly close to Xiao Chen would have a very hard time connecting this appearance with him. Just the purple hair alone would subvert the notions of many others.

A folding fan appeared in his hand as he evaluated his current appearance. Then, he walked out with a smile.

Xiao Chen ordered food and wine at the bustling restaurant within the inn, listening to the conversations of the cultivators from various places.

People from all walks of life patronized the restaurant. All the latest news of the Primal Chaos Domain got shared here.

“Did you hear? The Profound Domain’s Demonic Brilliant Two Elders suffered at the hands of White Robed King Xiao Chen. Mister Qin invited these two to help him kill Xiao Chen. Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen would kill Mister Qin in front of them and leave?”

“The Demonic Brilliant Two Elders are not your ordinary grandmaster-level Martial Sages. They were already famous many years ago and have lived for four or five centuries. Their cultivation is uncharacteristically vast. They can explode an ordinary Superior Grade Martial Sage with one punch.”

“This Xiao Chen is really bold. I heard that he even killed disciples from nearly all the major sects of the Primal Chaos Domain. So now, many sects have put out bounties for him.”

“How unfortunate. The experts of my Primal Chaos Domain have all rushed to the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland. This Xiao Chen is going to get away scot-free.”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he thought, No wonder the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders are so strong. They have lived for around five hundred years. It is only logical that their cultivation would far outstrip mine.

However, what is this Heavenly Ruin Wasteland that it attracted so many experts of the Primal Chaos Domain?

Xiao Chen felt curious. He looked at that glib, skinny man and waved to him. “This Brother, will you come over for a drink?”

The skinny man did not feel happy at the interruption. However, when he turned around, he saw Xiao Chen covered in Secret Treasures and exuding a sinister aura. His purple hair marked him as a maverick.
