The meteor was indeed beautiful. Unfortunately, it lasted only an instant, disappearing in a flash.
Even the Lunar Palace's Palace Master did not think highly of Xiao Chen. At this moment, for the sake of avoiding becoming a meteor, he frantically fled with Yue Bingyun on Black Water Island.
The large group of Blue Robed Emperors pursuing the two did not stop for even a moment. Even after the two used all their tricks and schemes, they still could not shake off this group of frenzied Blue Robed Emperors.
To the Blue Robed Emperor, condensing the Heart of an Emperor in advance was a great temptation. No matter what, he would not give up.
Xiao Chen was in a sorry state from the chase. He even had several wounds on his body. If there were only ten-odd people, he believed that he could handle them. However, there were hundreds of Blue Robed Emperors chasing him. There were even several Consummation Blue Robed Emperors. Xiao Chen simply could not do anything about it.
"Never mind, I give up."
Xiao Chen, who was speeding through the air, suddenly stopped and said.
Yue Bingyun asked, finding it strange, "Are you sure? If you insist, I have a trump card to shake off these troublesome fellows. "
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions. I have a trump card as well. However, I really cannot monopolize this thing. Otherwise, the two of us will fall for Fei Lengyi's trap."
Xiao Chen grabbed the mysterious blood cocoon in Yue Bingyun's hand. Then, he turned around and raised it high. "Whoever makes a move, I will directly destroy it!"
The moment Xiao Chen said that, the group of people frantically chasing after Xiao Chen with surging auras immediately stopped anxiously.
The hundreds of Blue Robed Emperors eyed Xiao Chen covetously, stirring up winds and clouds in the surroundings. Their auras were so strong that they nearly could not stand up.
"Little Friend, there is no need to be nervous. Hand over the blood cocoon formed by the fragments of the Heavenly Cloud Sword, and we will naturally not make things difficult for you."
The one who spoke was a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. Xiao Chen had some impression of this person. His name was Jin Liangqi. He had seen this person in action in front of the Testing Monument. He was able to light up nine of the ten purple gems on the sixth row. Among the Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperors, his strength was at the top.
Xiao Chen admitted that he was not as strong as the other party, but he did not show the slightest bit of fear. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said with a smile, "Hand it over? Hand it over to you and let you take it away? "
That was exactly what he wanted to say. Just as Jin Liangqi was about to say yes, he suddenly noticed many unfriendly gazes looking at him.
Cursing in his heart, he smiled awkwardly, "Of course not. It's the right way to share it with everyone. Otherwise, no matter who gets it, there will inevitably be a fierce battle, and it will benefit an outsider."
Xiao Chen glanced at the mysterious blood cocoon in his hand. Then, he looked at the many Blue Robed Emperors. Even when facing so many Blue Robed Emperors, he did not show any stage fright.
"Very well. What Senior Jin said is actually what I wanted to say as well. No one can monopolize the secret of the Life and Death Art. If everyone has no problems, I can choose to cut open this blood cocoon now and see if there is the Life and Death Art inside."
The surroundings fell silent. Clearly, there were still some misgivings. After all, the blood cocoon was in Xiao Chen's hands. Even if there was the Life and Death Art inside, it was still up to him to decide whether to split it or not.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will continue to run after taking the Life and Death Art? If I really wanted to keep it for myself, I wouldn't have stopped. I've already said this much. Whether you are willing or not, I will cut it open now. "
He could not be bothered with this group of paranoid old monsters who were overthinking things.
Xiao Chen used his palm as a saber, not giving these people a chance to retort. He hacked down, and the forty-percent-comprehended saber soul in his sea of consciousness spread throughout his body. A horrifying saber intent spread out.
Xiao Chen's clothes and hair fluttered, giving off melodious tinkling sounds. The boundless saber intent was like zither music spreading out in all directions.
Xiao Chen's move stunned several Blue Robed Emperors. A strange light flashed in their eyes. For this white-robed bladesman to last so long under the pursuit of so many Blue Robed Emperors, he was indeed extraordinary.
"Pu ci!"
A saber light flickered, and Xiao Chen's hand saber neatly cut open the mysterious scarlet blood cocoon without leaving a mark. Instantly, a scarlet light spread out, looking like blood spreading everywhere. The blood cocoon slowly melted, thickening the scarlet light and forming a blood mist.
A floating drawing appeared on Xiao Chen's palm. He was somewhat surprised. The blood cocoon was not empty, nor was it the Life and Death Art. It was just an ancient drawing that looked like a map.
"Brat, quickly hand over the drawing!"
"Hurry up. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving this place alive."
The Blue Robed Emperors did not care whether this drawing had anything to do with the Life and Death Art or not. When the map appeared, they immediately roared.
Xiao Chen ignored them. He opened the drawing and took a look. After memorizing it, he quickly pushed the drawing out.
"Let's go!"
Not wanting to care about this group of Blue Robed Emperors, Xiao Chen called out to Yue Bingyun and quickly left.
Seeing the drawing floating over, the excited Blue Robed Emperors cautiously quietened down. If anyone dared to make a move, they would destroy this drawing in the chaos.
Jin Liangqi's gaze was like lightning. He did not make a move, just taking a look as well. After memorizing the contents of the drawing, he left quietly.
At the Blue Robed Emperor's level, nearly everyone had a photographic memory.
As the various Blue Robed Emperors memorized the contents of the drawing, the number of Blue Robed Emperors decreased. In the end, not a single one remained, leaving only this lonely treasure map drifting down.
Speaking of which, this was rather laughable. Earlier, everyone had chased after this item crazily. However, when they discovered that it was just a drawing, no one went to take it in, leaving it to drift everywhere.
In a large courtyard in Black Water City, Xiao Chen took out a brush and paper. Then, he drew out everything he had memorized, word for word.
He gently blew on the brush and dried the ink. Then, Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun carefully observed it.
"This is a map. Based on the red mark, it should be a cave. Combined with the Blood Sword Sovereign's identity, the answer is clear. This map records a cave that the Blood Sword Sovereign once cultivated in. "
After observing for a long time, Yue Bingyun quickly came to a conclusion.
Xiao Chen did not deny it. This was the most superficial information. Practically everyone who obtained the drawing could figure it out.
The difficult part was not this. The difficult part was the path on the map. After tens of thousands of years, the world had changed. The landscape had changed a few times, and the routes and landmarks on the map had long since disappeared.
Trying to find the Blood Sword Sovereign's cave by relying on this map was no less than a fantasy. It was impossible.
Clearly, Yue Bingyun knew this as well. After some thought, she said, "We have to find an old man familiar with the Black Sea's terrain and draw out a rough outline of the cave. After that, we have to find a Geomaster to observe the geography and geomancy, figuring out where the cave is. "
Xiao Chen nodded. This was the only way. He said, "You can handle the first part. There's no need to find a Geomaster for the latter part."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Although I'm just a dabbling Geomaster, I believe that my skill far surpasses the average."
Yue Bingyun's eyes lit up. Finding it strange, she said, "I couldn't tell. I really don't know what you don't know."
"There are many things that I don't know. For example, I do not have the courage to waste a Heptagold Origin to blow up a Divine Weapon."
Yue Bingyun felt stifled. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was still angry at her for not informing him in advance. She put away the map and rolled her eyes at him. Then, she said, "I can't be bothered with you. After I figure out the rough location, I'll come and look for you, a Geomaster!"
After the other party left, Xiao Chen took out one hundred Superior Grade Demon Fiend Rocks from the Universe Ring. He muttered, "One hundred Superior Grade Demon Fiend Rocks should be sufficient to raise my forty-percent-comprehended saber soul to fifty-percent-comprehended. This saber soul is really difficult to advance."
As Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun made their preparations, the entire Black Water City turned chaotic. The news of the map spread like wildfire. Nearly all the Blue Robed Emperors in Black Water City were startled.
Each of those Blue Robed Emperors was more intelligent than the last. Soon, they came to a similar conclusion as Yue Bingyun. They started to search for skilled Geomasters, wanting to enter the cave first.
Regardless of whether there was any information about the Life and Death Art in the cave, everyone knew that they would not return empty-handed after going to the cave where the Blood Sword Sovereign once cultivated.
Inside the Xia Clan's courtyard, Xia Luo and Wang Zhen studied the map. Their faces filled with wild joy.
Xia Luo smiled and said, "As long as I obtain the Life and Death Art and condense the Heart of an Emperor in advance, I am confident of advancing to Martial Emperor within ten years."
Similarly, Wang Zhen could not hide the joy on his face. "After condensing the Heart of an Emperor, I will be ninety-nine percent confident of undergoing my Great Tribulation of wind and fire. Oh, by the way, Second Young Master, should we inform First Young Master and the main clan of this news? "
Xia Luo thought for a while before shaking his head. "No. The Dark Sea is too far from us. By the time the main clan's people arrive, they will be much too late. Our own strength is sufficient."
At the same time, Jiang Feng held the map. His face also filled with joy. "Originally, I just wanted to join in on the excitement of the auction. Unexpectedly, I managed to obtain such a harvest. If I condense the Heart of an Emperor and return to Dark City, I will be able to sweep through all the outstanding talents of the younger generation!"
Everyone moved quickly, afraid of being too slow. The area of the cave shrank. In the end, they determined that it was to the west of Black Water Island.
However, the size of Black Water Island was already no smaller than a small continent. This area was still rather large. As for the rest, they could only rely on Geomasters to observe the geography. ---
Four days passed. Xiao Chen successfully used one hundred Superior Grade Demon Fiend Rocks to temper his forty-percent-comprehended saber soul to fifty percent comprehension.
Every time his saber soul increased by ten percent, its might would improve significantly. His gaze would become sharper, and his aura sharper. With just one look, he could frighten his opponent.
However, the further he went, the harder it would be to raise his saber soul. As Xiao Chen had never used a Demon Fiend Rock before, the effect this time was very obvious. If he used it a second time, the effect would be significantly weaker.
This was unless he used a Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock that moved even Emperor Wu. Of course, speaking of which, now that Xiao Chen had a fifth saber soul and was in the Blue Robed Emperor realm, he could already look down on everyone.
If Xiao Chen's other states — thunder, death, massacre, despair, and grief — were taken into account, he would be even more unfathomable. In battle, he would have many wondrous effects that mysterious phenomena could not achieve.
