Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

After Xiao Chen had swallowed several tens of tons of divine materials, the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art finally displayed some small effect. Right now, without burning his Vital Qi, he could achieve half a Dragon Force with a casual punch—two thousand five hundred tons of force.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen punched the ground, which immediately cracked apart. Countless clumps of dirt shot out, flying in the air and blocking out the sun in the sky.

When he retracted his fist, an enormous, deep pit appeared in front of him. This hole was one kilometer long and five hundred meters deep. Tough yellow copper ore glinted below; that was the Profound Copper vein.

Xiao Chen revealed joy on his face. He merged his Vital Qi, Quintessence, and Magic Energy before shouting and sending out another punch at this huge yellow copper ore.

A bright light lit up on his fist, which quickly descended like a treasured saber. As it fell from above, its unparalleled sharpness could split open mountains.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!” The yellow vein that extended for a kilometer cracked into pieces of varying sizes with this punch.

Lord Jiu was already numb to such a feat. He sighed and said, “Perhaps only this fellow can be so savage. As for other Martial Sages, even if they found a Profound Copper vein, they would only feel disappointed at not knowing how to extract it.”

Xiao Chen stood in the air with his eyes closed. The suction from the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art started working, and the thousands of pieces of cracked yellow copper ore floated into the air around him.

His body became like a spiraling black hole as all three hundred and sixty-one of his acupoints opened. A strong suction pulled the pure Profound Copper in the yellow copper ore into his body.

“Plop! Plop! Plop!” Chunks of impurities fell like rain. The scene looked majestic and tyrannical.

After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. However, what he had gotten felt like only a drop in a big cup. The swimming azure Dragon Energy merely strengthened slightly.

This was all ten tons of Profound Copper did after he absorbed it.

Lord Jiu blinked as a bitter expression twisted his face. “Brother Xiao, didn’t I tell you to leave some from this Lord Jiu?”

Xiao Chen landed beside the old man and said calmly, “Oh, sorry, I forgot.”

The insincere apology made Lord Jiu very unhappy. However, he could only quietly complain to himself. The greatest danger in entering the Remnant was not the restrictions but the other cultivators.

This was especially so in the Primal Chaos Domain. Most of these people were loose cultivators who killed others for their treasures like they were just having a meal. Even if Lord Jiu entered himself and found a treasure, he would get chased out before he could do anything.

By following Xiao Chen, Lord Jiu would be able to stay longer at least. Xiao Chen would also leave some Spirit-Herb-type natural treasures for him.

Never mind, this Lord Jiu will not bicker with a junior, the old man thought to himself.

“Boom!”

A beam of golden light suddenly pierced the sky over the inner area of the Immortal sect Remnant, illuminating the entire expanse. Thousands of beasts roared together. Xiao Chen and the old man could not help but look in that direction.

Birds and beasts emanating Immortal Qi flew out from the golden light. They traversed one kilometer in an instant, getting far away in a short while.

One of them was a dazzling, golden-bright Heavenly Phoenix that looked very eye-catching. As it flapped its wings, a brilliant golden-bright flame burned the sky black.

The violent wind kicked up by the mutated beasts easily shattered several of the hidden restrictions in the air.

Thousands of cultivators soared into the air in immediate pursuit. Di Wuque, the Frost Moon Palace’s Xiao Qinghan, the Heavenly Music Sect’s Xia Dongyang, and many other experts all chased after the Heavenly Phoenix.

Xiao Chen thought he saw the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen in the group.

Lord Jiu’s eyes gleamed. “Indeed, there are valuable treasures. Di Wuque and the others already broke the restrictions. These are all complete Magic Treasures. After refining them slightly, they would become King Grade Secret Treasures.”

Xiao Chen was speechless. At least a thousand Magic Treasures had flown out. Just one palace had so many Magic Treasures. What kind of glorious history did this Immortal sect below them have?

“Chi!”

An azure wolf flew by Xiao Chen’s head. He reacted at lightning speed, a strand of saber Qi from Flawless Bright Moon falling from the sky and knocking the azure wolf down.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and the azure wolf fell onto his palm. It was a wolf-head sword infused with several divine materials. The blade of the sword was as clear as water, flickering with dim multicolored lights.

He placed his Spiritual Mark on it and sent in his Magic Energy. The sword shrank and turned into a sword pill on his palm.

“Brat, hand over the azure wolf Magic Treasure.”

Three old men who had been pursuing the azure wolf in the sky called out immediately when they saw Xiao Chen subdue the treasure.

Xiao Chen glanced at them. The cultivation of these three old men were peak Superior Grade Martial Sages. Disinclined to answer, he simply burned his Magic Energy on the spot. The sword pill immediately enlarged. Then, he pointed with his finger, and the sword turned into a beam of azure light flying out.

“Pu chi!”

Before the three old men could react, blood spurted out from their necks, and their heads fell over as they died without complete corpses.

Lord Jiu chuckled as he flew forward quickly. Then he took off the spatial rings on the three old men’s fingers; he even patted down their bodies to search them.

Having followed Xiao Chen for a while already, he was very familiar with what to do. Soon, he returned, smiling so broadly that his eyes were no more than slits. He said somewhat craftily, “Sorry, there are no divine materials on the three.”

Xiao Chen held the wolf-head sword flickering with dim multicolored lights. He seemed to be in deep thought, not caring about what Lord Jiu said.

The speed of this wolf-head sword was rather extraordinary. However, it would not be sufficient to deal with grandmaster-level Martial Sages, who could easily dodge something of this speed.

Xiao Chen glanced at the situation in the sky. Nearly all the grandmaster-level Martial Sages were drawn to the dazzling, golden-bright Heavenly Phoenix, chasing after it.

On the other hand, not many grandmaster-level Martial Sages were chasing the other mutated beasts. This was very normal too. Most grandmaster-level Martial Sages already had King Grade Secret Treasures. Regular treasures would not catch their attention.

Xiao Chen felt excited. He asked, “Old Jiu, can your eyes remember all these Magic Treasures in the sky?”

Birds and beasts flew around in the sky, spreading Immortal Qi. Figures flickered, and the sky above the periphery turned chaotic.

Lord Jiu took a glance and said in disdain, “How is that difficult? This Lord Jiu has a pair of divine eyes. I might not be good at looking at other things. However, even if a treasure were as small as a mosquito, I will be able to see it with great detail.”

“Good. In that case, look very carefully. As long as someone snatches a Magic Treasure, immediately dig a hole and bring me over. Since those grandmaster-level Martial Sages do not care for these treasures, I will lower myself and accept them all.”

When the old man heard this, the scene before him darkened; he nearly fainted. At least one thousand Magic Treasures meant at least one thousand holes.

“Lord Xiao, I’m calling you Lord already. Although this Lord Jiu is good at digging holes, you can’t really treat me like a mouse. After digging a thousand holes, my hands will break.”

Xiao Chen smiled calmly and retorted, “Strange, didn’t Lord Jiu say that you were a mouse in the first place and that today is when you are going to display your skills?”

A burden! What a great burden! All this because of greed for some divine materials! The old man wept without tears.

A sky-blue barrier of light flew by in the air. Yun Tianhe and Gao Baiyu stopped a black tortoise. Gao Baiyu was slightly faster, snagging the black tortoise with his hand. However, it was just an ancient shield.

The surface of the shield rippled like that of water. The sound of gushing water came from it without pause.

Gao Baiyu was overjoyed. He carefully examined it and said, “Great! It is actually a defensive Magic Treasure. The defenses of our Heavenly Music Sect cultivators are weak. If I refine this into a Secret Treasure, I will become much stronger.”

Yun Tianhe revealed an envious expression. Defensive Secret Treasures were the most valuable. Most cultivators hoped to have a good defensive Secret Treasure, which could be used to preserve their lives at crucial moments.

Even though Gao Baiyu was in good spirits, he noticed Yun Tianhe’s disappointment. He smiled and consoled him, “Brother Yun, there is no need to be disappointed. There are many Magic Treasures. Later, when we find another one, I will yield it to you.”

“Haha! Many thanks, Brother Gao. Unfortunately, we do not know if it will be a defensive Magic Treasure.”

Yun Tianhe looked to the sky. The distant golden-bright Heavenly Phoenix flapped its wings, instigating a fight between the various experts. He said enviously, “That Heavenly Phoenix is the real good stuff. It can definitely be made into a peak King Grade Secret Treasure. There are probably hundreds of divine materials mixed into it.”

“Yeah. However, that is not the best treasure of the Immortal sect Remnant. The nine heavenly palaces are the core area of the entire Immortal sect Remnant. The treasures there would be even better. Immortal Equipment might even appear.”

“That is very possible. I heard that the three great sects sent their quasi-Emperors here. Even a few big shots from the Penglai Sea came as well.”

“Let’s not speak about this anymore. It is not something that we can take part in. We are better off collecting more Magic Treasures. That bastard, Xiao Chen, destroyed my bells. We have to go quickly and recoup our losses.”

“There is a huge snake breathing and spitting clouds over there. It should be something good! Let’s go!”

While the two chatted, they continuously searched for targets in the air. Just as they were about to get up, the ground suddenly rumbled, and a deep pit appeared.

Caught off guard, the two immediately fell into the hole. They panicked and tried to fly up. However, starlight descended, and a fluttering scarlet banner blocked the two.

The Astral Banner unfurled, and seven resplendent Astral Pearls completely eclipsed the sky above.

Yun Tianhe and Gao Baiyu looked around and discovered Xiao Chen and Lord Jiu not far away. Their expressions immediately changed drastically.

“Mountain and rivers always meet; the spring wind will always blow. The two of you, we meet again.”

The starlight illuminating Xiao Chen gave him an extraordinary mien. His delicate face revealed an indifferent smile. He looked cold and desolate, projecting no killing intent whatsoever.

“Xiao Chen, you actually still dare to appear,” Gao Baiyu exclaimed hatefully.

As Xiao Chen slowly walked forward on the starlight, he asked, “Why not? Without any grandmaster-level Martial Sages by you, I can kill you as easily as killing dogs.”

When Yun Tianhe recalled Xiao Chen’s dreadful power, he could not help making a somewhat horrified expression. “We are elite disciples of the Frost Moon Palace and the Heavenly Music Sect. If you kill us, given the high positions of our fathers and seniors, you will thoroughly offend two Rank 9 Sects.”

“Don’t overvalue yourselves. You are far from being as important as you think you are. I do not fear the Frost Moon Palace or the Heavenly Music Sect!”

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he did not bother saying anything more to the two. An azure light flashed. At such a close distance, the two could not dodge at all. Their heads immediately fell off their necks.

Lord Jiu smiled happily and rushed forward. He retrieved the spatial rings of the two with familiar ease. When he returned, he respectfully handed the black tortoise shield to Xiao Chen.

“How many does this make again?” Xiao Chen asked.
