After so many years, when they met again in Despair City, the other party had already become a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
By relying on the might of his Magic Treasure, he could even kill Profound Beasts equal to great grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
If not for Xiao Chen improving faster than him, it would be hard to say how things would have turned out.
"It looks like you still remember me and know that I have something to ask you," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
The blue-robed cultivator smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not remember? I have been in the Eternal Heavenly Sword School all these years. The Blue Dragon King's name resounds like thunder in my ears."
"Tell me your name first."
"Feng Wuqing."
As the blue-robed cultivator answered, he carefully looked at the seven life flying swords that the small carriage struck down.
"I know a little about Immortal Cultivation. I know the importance of a life flying sword to a cultivator. If you want your flying swords back, you have to answer my questions honestly. "
Feng Wuqing knew that the blue-robed cultivator was telling the truth. Otherwise, he would not have been able to use the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. He said helplessly, "Up to you. In any case, they are in your hands. It is impossible for me to run away."
"Very well. You said that you have been in the Eternal Heavenly Sword School. What have you been doing?"
Some hesitation appeared in Feng Wuqing's eyes. When he looked up and saw Xiao Chen's cold expression, his heart trembled for some reason. He said, "Nothing much. I just helped with the preparations for refining the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill."
"Why are you back now? Did you successfully refine the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill?"
Feng Wuqing smiled and said, "How can that be? With my Alchemy skills, I can only make some preparations. Only my master can refine a Medicinal Pill that surpasses King Grade. Now that I have nothing else to do, naturally, there is no need for me to remain there."
"Good. Let me ask you another question. Who is the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill for?"
Feng Wuqing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I was only in charge of filtering and refining the True Dragon remains. I was like an odd-job worker."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Odd-Job worker? Your master is really incredible. Just a casual odd-job worker is already a Nascent Soul cultivator. He can even kill a Black Profound Wolf by relying on the might of his Magic Treasure.
"This teacher of mine is really something. At least, if you go to the Eternal Sky Sect now, you won't even know how you died. If you think I'm exaggerating, a few of his prized disciples are also in Despair City. If you run into them, you'll know the truth. "
Feng Wuqing faintly smiled as he spoke, seemingly intending to provoke a conflict between Xiao Chen and his Senior Brothers.
"I will find out for myself whether it is true or not. You just have to figure out your own situation first. Let me ask you again. How much longer do you need to refine the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.
"At the very least, two years. For such a heaven-defying pill that can change one's fate, just the collection of the True Dragon's remains took a hundred years. Refining it is even more troublesome. Whether or not it will succeed is another matter altogether."
"Can the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill extend physiological lifespan?"
"Of course not. If extending one's natural lifespan is defying the heavens and changing one's fate, then extending one's physiological lifespan is cutting the heavens and seizing fate. They can't be mentioned in the same breath. Don't think too much about it."
It looked like this Feng Wuqing also knew that Xiao Chen only had twenty years left to live. His tone sounded like he rejoiced in Xiao Chen's misfortune.
Xiao Chen could not be bothered with Feng Wuqing. He waved his hand and said, "Take your flying sword and go!"
"You're letting me go just like that?" Feng Wuqing found this inconceivable.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, "What's wrong? You don't want to leave? Or do you want to force me to make you use your trump card before I'm satisfied? "
Feng Wuqing felt slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "It is good to deal with smart people. Actually, the Eternal Heavenly Sword School does not have any secrets. It is just that my master owes the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's founder a favor. Helping him refine the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill can be considered repaying this favor.
"However, you'd best not think of causing trouble. I'm not exaggerating my master's strength at all. Killing the current you would be easy."
After Feng Wuqing said that, he put away his life flying sword and immediately left.
Whether it was true or false, Feng Wuqing could not come to a conclusion.
Feng Wuqing had a trump card to protect his life that he could not bear to use. So, Xiao Chen could not force the other party too much.
If he forced the other party into a corner and used his trump card, it would be like drawing water with a sieve.
At the very least, Xiao Chen now knew some useful information. The founder of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School was indeed not dead. He was still struggling at death's door, waiting for the True Dragon Life Replenishing Pill to extend his lifespan.
As long as the other party was not dead, it would be fine. The clues to the mysterious death of the Thunder King would not disappear.
Xiao Chen, this matter happened several thousand years ago. It is best not to bother about it, Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, advised.
Clearly, Ao Jiao was worried that the master that Feng Wuqing mentioned would send Xiao Chen to his death.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Feng Wuqing's master might not be easy to deal with, but he is Emperor Wu, who relied on the Life Replenishing Pill to survive. I might have a chance in two years."
"Xiao Chen …" Ao Jiao continued to try to persuade him.
Xiao Chen interrupted, "There's no need to say anything. You know my character. Once I have decided on something, I will not change my mind.
"Without the broken sword that the Thunder King left behind, I would have died at Seven Horn Mountain back then. Along the way, I know that I cannot repay you for how you helped me. However, no matter what, I have to do something.
"The Thunder King died for no reason. No matter what, I will not remain indifferent."
Ao Jiao knew Xiao Chen's temper. She only sighed in her heart and did not say anything more.
Seeing that Ao Jiao did not say anything, Xiao Chen consoled her, "You know that I am not a rash person. I will not do anything rash. Right now, it is better to continue looking for snacks for Little Yellow Feather. "
When Ao Jiao heard that, she giggled. After knowing the ins and outs of snacks, she laughed for a long time.
Feng Wuqing's appearance was just a small interlude. It did not affect what Xiao Chen wanted to do.
The four Astral Pearls turned into birds flying around the city randomly. However, they actually moved in a regular pattern, not repeating the places they searched.
If this continued, Xiao Chen would find the source of Despair City sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
If Xiao Chen was lucky, he could find it in one day. If he was unlucky, he might even find it in a year or so.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush. He casually strolled around the city like he was taking a stroll. There were traces of history everywhere in the ancient city, enough for one to ponder for a long time.
Occasionally, he killed some Profound Beasts. Xiao Chen felt extremely relaxed.
While Xiao Chen was in such a relaxed state, the other cultivators in Despair City clearly felt the undercurrents in the city intensifying by the day.
The six Immortal Holy Lands, the Treasure Master's inheritor, the genius Immortal Cultivators of the Penglai Sea, and some famous loose cultivators like the Blue Robed Emperor appeared in Despair City one after another.
Even a fool could guess that something big was going to happen in Despair City.
Intense battles occasionally broke out between the various Holy Scions, who either did not accept each other or had grudges with each other long ago. Naturally, it was hard to avoid fighting when they ran into each other.
However, the two sides stopped fighting when the time was right; they did not show any signs of fighting to the death.
The loose cultivators at the level of the Blue Robed Emperor all endured silently, waiting patiently.
To these loose cultivators, there were not many treasures that caught their eye in Despair City. Superior Grade Profound Beasts were not easy to deal with, either. They just calmly waited for the major characters to appear.
The heart of the ocean. Only the natural treasures in the heart of the ocean could attract their attention.
It was rare for major characters to work together to enter the heart of the ocean when their lifespans were nearing the end. This opportunity could not be missed. Even though these people knew that the heart of the ocean was dangerous, they had to take the risk.
Eight handsome horses pulled the golden war chariot, flying slowly in the sky of Despair City.
The person driving the chariot was an old man, an expert of the Treasure Master's Residence. He was a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor.
Auntie Bai sat calmly in the back. However, she did not relax her perception for even a moment.
An ancient, stern, golden statue filled with killing Qi stood at each of the four corners of the war chariot.
The Young Treasure Master, Yi Ling, and Yue Bingyun stood on the war chariot, sizing up the environment of Despair City as they chatted softly.
"This is really unexpected. Unexpectedly, Despair City attracted all the demonic geniuses of the Heavenly Starry Ocean," Yi Ling said softly.
Yue Bingyun said calmly, "There is still one more year before the Four Seas Hero Gathering. This is a rare fortuitous encounter. Unless one is in closed-door cultivation, it would be hard not to be attracted."
"Haha! That's true. Aside from some Remnants, the greatest mystery of Despair City is the location of the source of despair. Miss Bingyun, what do you think? "
Yue Bingyun smiled and replied, "What opinion can I have? Several seniors have searched for it for thousands of years without finding it."
"For this treasure to be able to cover the entire city with the aura of despair, it must be of great value. If we can obtain it, we might be able to grasp the state of despair immediately. After studying it for a few years, it would not be difficult to comprehend the will of despair, "Yi Ling said with some anticipation.
Despair, massacre, and ruin — these were all high-level wills that were extremely hard to comprehend.
Anyone who could obtain them with external help would be able to quickly increase their strength.
Yue Bingyun could not deny this. However, no matter how much she said, it would be pointless.
"There seems to be people fighting in front!"
Yi Ling suddenly said.
In the abandoned plaza, there were collapsed statues everywhere. A man in red clothes and a man who looked like a scholar were fighting intensely.
Behind the two stood a group of people, all of them extremely strong. Furthermore, they all had the Blue Robed Emperor holding the line.
However, the people behind the scholarly-looking man all had righteous expressions, extraordinary elegance, and refined auras.
The group of people behind the red-clad man all looked unapproachable. They did not hide their tyranny or viciousness at all. One could even vaguely see all sorts of venomous creatures swimming around their feet.
The youth that Xiao Chen taught a lesson at the city gates stood in the middle with an excited expression. He shouted, "Elder Brother, teach this fellow a lesson. Let this group of bookworms know the power of our Five Poison Sect."
On the golden war chariot, Yi Ling smiled softly and said, "The scholars of the Heavenly Province Academy are not bookworms. Tang Xun's younger brother is still as foolish as ever."
The Five Poison Sect and the Heavenly Province Academy were the Holy Lands. One was righteous, and the other evil. The two sides had always been at odds with each other. When they met, a fight would definitely be unavoidable.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar rang out, and four flood dragons pulling a dragon-shaped war chariot slowly appeared in the air.
The Young Palace Masters of the four Divine Dragon Palaces gathered in the war chariot. The Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Young Palace Master, Leng Shaofan, stood out from the crowd, attracting a lot of attention.
Yi Ling's expression changed slightly. "This fellow actually came as well."
