When Sima Lingxuan heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. "Adoptive Father, you never told me all this before …"
"I never told you either. If Xiao Chen does not advance to Martial Emperor within four years, he will have only twenty more years of lifespan, becoming a meteor and disappearing in a flash!" Zong Boxiong continued.
When Sima Lingxuan heard this, he was flabbergasted. This news was simply too shocking, completely unexpected.
"You feel that he is so strong that he makes others despair, putting you under a mountain of pressure. However, can your pressure be greater than his?" Zong Boxiong continued, "Look at him. He looks like he is about to collapse. Many people in the Heavenly Starry Ocean are laughing at him. After the Qing Emperor, many people in the Kunlun Realm are waiting for him to become a meteor.
"In terms of pressure, among the outstanding talents of this generation, no one can surpass him." Zong Boxiong continued, "I can accept that your talent is not as good as his and your Luck is not as good as his. However, don't lose to him in this aspect.
"A man has to cry unbridledly for once. Tears are the most precious thing in this world. You have to celebrate the fact that you can still cry. Some people can't even cry when they want to."
Zong Boxiong's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Sima Lingxuan and startling him to his senses, freeing him from the mental barrier that had plagued him for ten years.
Unexpectedly, there were too many unexpected things. The person whom Sima Lingxuan regarded as his lifelong rival had actually experienced so much in the Kunlun Realm in the past ten years.
"Adoptive Father, thank you." Sima Lingxuan had many things to say, but he did not know how to express them. He could only say thank you.
Zong Boxiong smiled happily. He knew that Sima Lingxuan had completely broken free of his mental barrier. In this age of geniuses, Sima Lingxuan's future accomplishments would definitely surpass his own.
Zong Boxiong did not have any children. Back then, when he saved this child from the hands of the Black Sea pirates, he knew that this was a gift from heaven.
"Hahaha! Come, Father will bring you out to drink. Wipe away your tears and let's go celebrate!"
Naturally, Xiao Chen did not know about Sima Lingxuan's transformation. At this moment, he was in the Flame Rock castle, receiving an exceptionally serious interrogation from the Flame Rock Sovereign.
"Are you going to inherit the Thunder King's inheritance?"
Of course he had to inherit it. Otherwise, how could he obtain the extinct Death Fruit?
If he did not cultivate the Life and Death Art and condense the Heart of an Emperor, he would not be able to break through the Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor realm and enter the Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor realm within a year.
Therefore, when he heard from Ao Jiao that there was a Death Fruit in the treasure left behind by the Thunder King, Xiao Chen agreed without much thought.
In fact, he had already guessed that there was a hidden story. With the huge amount of resources left behind by the Thunder King, with Ao Jiao's concern for him, she should have told him long ago.
In the end, it dragged on until he had to obtain the Thunder King's relic before he agreed to bring him to the location of the Thunder King's relic.
Seeing Xiao Chen nod, the Flame Rock Sovereign looked at Ao Jiao and asked, "Big Sis, you did not tell him what kind of responsibility there is for inheriting the Thunder King's relic, right?"
Ao Jiao revealed a complicated expression. Then, she shook her head and did not say anything.
Indeed, the Flame Rock Sovereign revealed an expression of understanding. Then, he looked at the confused Xiao Chen and said, "Big Sis did not tell you. In that case, I'll tell you. The person who inherits the Thunder King's relic has to take revenge for him and find out who killed him."
Xiao Chen felt confused. There did not seem to be anything wrong with this. Since he inherited the Thunder King's relic, taking revenge for him was naturally reasonable.
"Brat, it looks like you really do not know what the consequences are for inheriting the Thunder King's relic?" The Flame Rock Sovereign said with a grave expression, "If it were that simple, I would have inherited the Thunder King's relic many years ago."
The Flame Rock Sovereign showed some helplessness on his face. A clear trace of sorrow could be seen in his eyes.
The Flame Rock Sovereign was a completely different person from his usual joking attitude.
Given the Flame Rock Sovereign's current cultivation, he would not gain any benefits from inheriting the Thunder King's relic. What the Flame Rock Sovereign wanted to do was to take revenge for the Thunder King. However, the matter did not seem that simple.
Hence, the Flame Rock Sovereign did not dare to make a move casually. Perhaps, he felt a deep fear of this unknown enemy.
The Flame Rock Sovereign said unhurriedly, "You don't understand. You simply don't understand how strong the Thunder King was back then. When he advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor, he could already challenge the Prime Thunder King. However, he only barely lost to him by one move. "
In the past, Xiao Chen did not understand how strong the Thunder King was. However, when he heard Ao Jiao talk about the Thunder King, Sang Mu lost to the Thunder King by one move, Xiao Chen did not have a clear idea.
However, the scene at the King conferral ceremony, where the Thunder Sovereign faced the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God alone without any fear, showed how strong the Thunder Sovereign was.
Even when two Primes worked together, they could not suppress the Thunder King.
In other words, if Sang Mu had not challenged the Thunder King but Emperor Forsaken or the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, the winner would definitely have been the Thunder King Sang Mu.
"The faction behind the person who dares to kill the Thunder King might involve a Prime."
Prime!
Xiao Chen felt like this was a blow to his head. The number of Primes in this world could be counted on one's fingers. Including the Primes of the oceanic world, there were no more than two hands.
Primes represented the strongest people in this world. They had already touched the bottleneck of the peak of the Martial Epoch.
No wonder Ao Jiao had not been willing to tell Xiao Chen, not wanting him to inherit the Thunder King's inheritance. If the one who killed the Thunder King was a Prime, then it would be impossible for Xiao Chen to take revenge.
Most of the Primes of the Kunlun Realm were gathered in the Kunlun Continent. Back then, the Thunder King had been surrounded and attacked in the Kunlun Continent. In that case, was the Prime who killed him the Deity Race's Emperor Forsaken, the Dongyue Ghost Emperor, or the Heaven Punishing Corpse God?
When Xiao Chen raised these questions, the Flame Rock Sovereign rejected them all. He shook his head and said, "No, the Thunder King is not dead. These people would not dare to make a move on Big Brother Sang Mu. He killed the bearer of Luck of my human race. The Thunder King's revenge will not rest until he dies. "
Those who feared the Thunder King's revenge would definitely not make a move. That was to say, the few Primes of the Kunlun Realm on the surface were not the ones who killed the Thunder King.
This was because these Primes all had factions and clansmen behind them that they could not bear to part with. They would not dare to fall out with the Thunder King.
In that case, if it was not these people, then who was the one behind this?
The eighteen Demon Monarchs of the Deep Abyss?
The eighteen Demon Monarchs were all as strong as Sovereign Martial Emperors. The top few were even as strong as Primes. There were detailed records of all these during the past few Demonic Tribulations.
However, if the Demon Monarchs wanted to cross the barrier of the sky and enter the Kunlun Realm, they would cause a startling commotion.
If the Demon Monarchs really did this, then the cause of the Thunder King's death would not be a mystery to this day, something that no one could resolve.
Based on the current information, after the duel between Sang Mu and the Thunder King, the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's ancestor leaked the information, revealing Sang Mu's whereabouts.
After that, Sang Mu fought with the mysterious cultivator with severe injuries, leaving behind an irreversible fatal wound. At this point, there was no hope for him. The news of the Thunder King's death quickly spread throughout the entire Kunlun Realm.
After that, the Thunder King went to the Phoenix's Passion Palace, a Holy Land, to ask for a Lunar Stone with Divine Nature to protect Ao Jiao. After that failed, he killed the Holy Scion of that time and forcefully snatched away the complete Divine Grade Lunar Stone.
After that, the Thunder King made arrangements for his inheritance and returned to the Sky Dome Realm, the place where his legend began.
Because the Thunder King was already a dead person, although he broke the rule that Emperor Wu could not come to the Sky Dome Realm, he did not receive any blame or investigation.
Who would care so much about a dead person?
Whether the mysterious cultivator who left a fatal wound on the Thunder King was dead or alive was still unknown. Right now, the only key to solving this mystery was the Eternal Heavenly Sword Ancestor.
In the past, no one knew of the existence of this Eternal Heavenly Sword Ancestor. They even thought that he had died long ago.
However, Xiao Chen knew that not only was this person alive, but he was also closely related to the Thunder King's death. There was still a chance. As long as Xiao Chen could pry open this person's mouth, he would be able to learn the truth behind the Thunder King's death.
"I will inherit the Thunder King's inheritance. Even if the person who killed him will drag in a Prime, I will not have any fear."
Xiao Chen never hesitated. Even if it was a Prime, he did not fear it. He only hesitated because he wanted to figure out the crux of this matter and see if he could solve this mystery.
Since the mystery could be solved, there was no need for Xiao Chen to hold back.
The Flame Rock Sovereign did not feel surprised at Xiao Chen's choice. He sighed and said, "I knew that you would not hesitate because of this. However, you should not push yourself too hard at any time. There are still many people behind you who care about you. Worry about your own life. Don't make those people sad. "
As the Flame Rock Sovereign said this, his gaze wandered around Ao Jiao. The person he was referring to went without saying.
Feeling the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Ao Jiao smiled and said, "Old man, don't try to boost his morale with your words. My Xiao Chen might be able to become a Prime in the future and sweep through the world, becoming unrivaled in the world! "
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled and said, "Sweep through the world, becoming unrivaled in the world. This goal is really big. Even the current Thunder King is only shaking the world with his might."
Whether it was a joke or a bold statement, sweeping through the world, becoming unrivaled in the world — this ultimate goal was deeply imprinted in Xiao Chen's heart.
Three days later, Xiao Chen went to the dark blood pool to collect the final reward of the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting.
Perhaps Xiao Chen's physical body had already reached a certain level and needed to rely on the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art to improve it. The dark blood pool did not have a significant effect on Xiao Chen.
After coming out, Xiao Chen took his leave in a low-profile manner. Then, he left Dark City and headed for the distant Human-Demon Sea.
When Xiao Chen thought about Yue Bingyun, who had agreed to travel with him, he felt somewhat disappointed.
However, he still had to walk this path. If he wanted to sweep through the world, becoming unrivaled in the world, he had to advance to Martial Emperor in five years first.
The white-robed bladesman left just like that. However, many cultivators would never forget his deeds for the rest of their lives.
After this short trip to the Black Sea, the name of the white-robed Xiao Chen would become a legend among cultivators thousands of years later.
Whether Xiao Chen was willing or not, his legendary journey would continue.
"Whoosh!"
The bright and beautiful sunlight descended. The sun that Xiao Chen had not seen in a long time returned to his eyes. After flying at full speed for ten days, the flood dragon war chariot finally brought Xiao Chen out of the Human-Demon Sea.
It was time to say goodbye to the lingering dark clouds, the most distinctive dark clouds of the Black Sea.
During this short trip to the Black Sea, Xiao Chen had gained a lot. He obtained the Life and Death Art that the Blood Sword Sovereign left behind on Black Water Island and found the secret technique for breaking through to Great Perfection in advance, the Blue Robed Emperor.
