Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1958 (Raw 2056): Tyrant Saber Upgraded

After Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard, he did not waste any time. He immediately resumed closed-door cultivation.

Li Xiuhai’s words woke in Xiao Chen a sense of urgency. In probably a few more days, the Heavenly Lodging Palace would no longer be able to endure the pressure from the four Rank 6 sects.

He needed to break through to the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art’s fifth layer quickly.

When Xiao Chen arrived at the cultivation room, he took out the Heavenly Blood Grass, the Dao Bone Pill, and all the other precious resources for tempering the body.

Being rich was great. One could buy the resources one needed anytime.

Xiao Chen did not even dare to dream of these things in the past. However, with five million Primeval Heavenly Pills, he managed to obtain them easily.

However, in the past few days, he had spent a lot of Primeval Heavenly Pills as well. Now, he had only about two million or so left.

Nevertheless, the effects were completely worth it.

Not only did Xiao Chen manage to break through to Holy Venerate, but he also managed to obtain so many body tempering resources and upgrade his Tyrant Saber.

Xiao Chen had remained stuck at the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art’s fourth layer for a long time already.

Breaking through in body tempering Cultivation Techniques was even harder than raising one’s cultivation. However, Xiao Chen has so many resources available to him, in addition to the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s experiences.

Breaking through was not difficult for him. It was just a question of how much time he needed.

While Xiao Chen and the others were rushing to cultivate, making full use of their time, the upper echelon of the Heavenly Lodging Palace branch felt very frustrated and pressured.

“Damn it! Who leaked out the news?”

The Great Perfection Sovereign Personage Elder Xu Feng, one of the two leaders of the Heavenly Lodging Palace branch, looked into the distance at the indistinct war chariots and warships of the various Rank 6 sects.

Xu Feng was enraged. The troops of these Rank 6 sects were like knives at his back.

Eventually, he could not order his forces to focus fully on exploring.

Originally, the Heavenly Lodging Palace branch could have monopolized this astronomically great fortuitous encounter. With the situation now, they had to give some of it away.

“Damn it. If I find out who is behind all this, I will definitely make that person die a horrible death!”

Xu Feng’s rage scared the surrounding Heavenly Lodging Palace disciples into silence.

He recovered his calm after a while, then asked, “Where is Young Master Hua? Has he not appeared yet?”

“Reporting to Elder Xu, there is still no news of Young Master Hua. No one in Ancient Desolate Town has seen him, either,” someone said softly.

Another piece of bad news. Xu Feng said, “Always causing trouble for me. No wonder headquarters sent him over. He is a walking disaster.”

Although Xu Feng was unhappy, he did not dare to go too far in badmouthing Hua Qingyun. He said, “Given Young Master Hua’s background, no one would truly dare to threaten him. Go to the Ruling Sword Gate’s Li Rong and tell him that I want to meet them.”

“Elder, you are going to…”

“In any case, we can no longer monopolize this. We might as well explore it together. Pull our forces back. Humph! All of them think that this old man discovered something very good. Let’s see how they end up dying after they enter.”

Xu Feng’s rage completely showed on his face. After all these troubles, he finally chose to give up the monopoly of this fortuitous encounter.

Three days later, in Xiao Chen’s rented courtyard in Ancient Desolate Town:

“Boom!”

A fiery light soared into the clouds and formed a terrifying, red fire dragon circling above the courtyard and roaring.

The flame looked solid, emanating a terrifying dragon aura. As it moved around in the sky, it burned up the clouds.

“Hahaha! I, Murong Yan, finally broke through.”

Murong Yan descended from the sky together with a fierce, blazing flame. His aura felt like fire, flourishing magnificently.

The flame contained horrifying energy, appearing like it would explode at any moment.

Murong Yan landed at a clear area in the courtyard. Then, he said, “My cultivation finally reached peak middle-stage Holy Venerate. My Flame Cloud Art also broke through to the ninth layer. Most importantly, I finally comprehended the state behind the Blood Devouring Dragon Fist, my Red Dragon Palace’s forbidden technique.”

“Whoosh!”

Coincidentally, tens of thousands of golden Dragon Qi burst out in the sky at this moment, forming a bright radiance.

The light looked solid as it appeared above the courtyard.

A Dragon Might containing the air of a ruler spread out, making that radiance look even more dazzling, preventing others from looking directly at it.

“Wei Hongfei’s improvement is quite significant as well,” Murong Yan said softly as he withdrew his fiery aura when he saw Wei Hongfei in the air.

“Not bad. Murong Yan, I sense that your strength has increased by at least thirty percent,” Wei Hongfei, dressed in armor, said calmly when he landed beside Murong Yan.

“Wind! Heed my call!”

The two, who were vying with each other invisibly, quickly turned their heads to look. They saw wind and clouds gathering where Situ Changfeng stood. It looked like the entire sky obeyed his summons.

This fully brought out Situ Changfeng’s strong independence, making him look very graceful.

Wei Hongfei frowned slightly. All along, he felt that it was Situ Changfeng whose strength was the most deeply hidden, aside from Xiao Chen.

Seeing the two looking at him, Situ Changfeng smiled faintly and slowly descended. It felt like he had merged completely with the wind.

As he descended, he appeared elegant and graceful. Rather than looking like he was descending to the ground, it felt more like the ever-present cool breeze respectfully invited him down.

Soon, Duan Fei and Liu Ruyun walked out as well. Both of them had also improved significantly.

Everyone in this group possessed a Divine Dragon bloodline, and they were all outstanding talents. Now that they had improved, they would be a great influence when they got together.

“I wonder how much Xiao Chen improved,” Situ Changfeng murmured. Then, everyone’s gaze immediately shifted to Xiao Chen’s cultivation room.

Without a doubt, Xiao Chen would forever be someone they found unfathomable.

They kept thinking that they had figured out Xiao Chen’s limits. However, when the fog dispersed, they discovered that what they could see was just the tip of the iceberg. When they looked further, he was still shrouded in mystery.

The more one interacted with Xiao Chen, the more inscrutable he seemed, completely unfathomable.

--

Inside Xiao Chen’s cultivation room:

“Crack! Crack!” Resonant cracking rang out continuously as Xiao Chen’s bones gave off explosive sounds akin to thunder.

After he broke through to the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art’s fifth layer and brought out the Divine Dragon War Body, his physical strength soared.

Xiao Chen merged his Dragon Might with his physical body. Then, a pair of Azure Dragon Divine Wings with electricity crackling around them spread out from his body.

Without having to be enraged, he could display Dragon Might. He was like a human-shaped dragon from the Great Desolate Eon. His glare could inspire chills.

“Senior Blood-Soaked, you are right. This Azure Dragon War Body is still far from complete.”

Xiao Chen’s bones shifted according to his thoughts, allowing him to slowly recover his original body.

Once he had completely returned to normal, that terrifying might and pressure slowly eased up.

--

“How terrifying. What was that earlier?”

Wei Hongfei and the others, who were in the yard, showed somewhat grave expressions.

Earlier, a pressure and might that caused their hearts to tremble burst out from Xiao Chen’s cultivation room. The pressure that they felt had multiplied severalfold.

Fortunately, this might and pressure had lasted for only a moment before disappearing.

A familiar figure slowly walked out of Xiao Chen’s cultivation room as the others talked, surprising them.

When Xiao Chen came out of closed-door cultivation, he did not show a terrifying mysterious phenomenon like the group expected. He merely strolled out.

If not for the terrifying might and pressure from earlier, the group would not have known that Xiao Chen had made a breakthrough.

“In the few days we have not seen each other, you all have grown stronger. Congratulations.”

Xiao Chen looked at the group and immediately made out their improvements.

Among the five, Situ Changfeng had improved the most. Murong Yan and Wei Hongfei were close and on par with each other. Duan Fei and Liu Ruyun had improved the least.

Wei Hongfei and the others smiled bitterly. Compared to you, our improvements are nothing.

Their sense of joy shattered completely.

Murong Yan said with some embarrassment, “I say, Xiao Chen, can you stop dealing us these blows? The longer I interact with you, the more confidence I lose. You know, I am the outstanding talent with the most potential in the Red Dragon bloodline!”

Situ Changfeng smiled and said, “Xiao Chen, congratulations. When are we departing?”

“When my saber is ready.”

Saber?

Situ Changfeng and the others exchanged glances. Just as they were feeling confused, Senior Yun walked out in a sorry state from the forge in the courtyard. He had black rings around his eyes, obviously fatigued. He did not look like a Rank 4 Grandmaster at all.

However, Senior Yun’s eyes flickered with the light of excitement.

“Hahaha! This old man finally succeeded. In less than half a year, I will definitely advance to Rank 5 Grandmaster!”

The joyful Senior Yun strode over to Xiao Chen and handed the Tyrant Saber to him.

Just as Xiao Chen was about to draw the saber to test it out, Senior Yun grabbed Xiao Chen’s wrist.

“When a new saber is first drawn, it must taste blood. You have to be cautious. Right now, this saber already possesses the might of an Inferior Grade Soul Tool. I have infused in the Grand Beta Profound Lightning. I have also helped you activate that inherited spirit you wanted activated.”

As Senior Yun grasped Xiao Chen’s wrist, preventing him from drawing his saber, he added seriously, “This saber is scarier than you think. This old man nearly died. You’d better conduct yourself well. Don’t ever go about massacring people. Otherwise, this old man will become a great sinner.”

Seeing Senior Yun’s extremely serious expression, Murong Yan and the others felt startled.

How exactly did this saber change?
