"Come, then. Let the storm come even more ferociously," Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
Unknowingly, he had already been in the Kunlun Realm for close to eight years. Ever since he announced his identity as a descendant of the Qing Emperor, he had been waiting for this moment for far too long.
Lan Shaobai was still helping to choose a date. Xiao Chen could not possibly stop, either. The sense of urgency made him cultivate even more anxiously.
Twenty thousand Essence Stones were sufficient for Xiao Chen to cultivate for a long time. He did not have to worry about resources at all.
Aside from cultivating Primordial Energy, Xiao Chen spent all his remaining time on comprehending and refining his saber soul.
After Mo Chen found out about Xiao Chen's request, she contacted the various large merchant associations in Heaven Dragon City. Adding on the connections of the Green Dragon Chamber of Commerce, she helped Xiao Chen obtain a total of ten Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks.
Even after using so many connections, she managed to obtain only ten Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks.
This showed how rare these things were. According to Mo Chen, as long as they appeared in an auction, people on the level of Emperor Wu would immediately buy them. Furthermore, even Sovereign Martial Emperors would be interested.
Being able to obtain ten Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks for Xiao Chen was already very incredible. Even those Holy Lands might not be able to do this within a short time.
Naturally, ten Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks was insufficient for Xiao Chen to raise his seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul to one hundred percent comprehension and transform it into a Saber Domain.
However, raising it to eighty percent comprehension would not be a problem. If he was lucky, he could raise it to ninety percent comprehension.
As Xiao Chen sat on the peak that belonged to him, he held a Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock in his hand. After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen started to use his saber soul to touch the Demon Fiend Rock, tempering his saber soul.
Using the Demon Fiend Rock to cultivate was not easy. It would trigger a negative heart demon, which was extraordinarily dangerous. If one was not careful, one's mind would be injured.
When Xiao Chen's saber soul touched the Demon Fiend Rock, a layer of black Demonic Qi covered his body. The Demonic Qi changed, looking like a human-demon surrounding him.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed. A large amount of abyss demonic energy appeared out of nowhere and attacked Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness.
Monstrous waves surged in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness. Black demons with ever-changing figures appeared in his sea of consciousness. Sometimes, these demons would take on the appearance of Xiao Chen's fiendish appearance. It was extremely strange.
What he saw wasn't an illusion, but it wasn't real either. It was hard to tell what was real and what was fake.
The true sea of consciousness could be said to be completely calm, without any ripples. However, if left unchecked, these illusory demons would eventually injure the main body.
Not only his will, but his soul and mind would also suffer significant damage. In serious cases, their souls might even be devoured by the devil, turning them into a homicidal maniac and completely falling into the path of the devil.
Demonic Fiend Rock. Just from its name, one could tell that it was no ordinary natural treasure. Using it to take shortcuts was like dancing on a tightrope.
Kill kill kill kill kill!
The demons let out miserable shrieks that sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling. The sound waves surged into the air, their auras horrifying.
Xiao Chen's heart remained as calm as still water. His gaze turned sharp as he held a saber in his hand. This was the true form of his saber soul. He said coldly, "If my heart does not waver, it is all an illusion. Die!"
In this surging sea of consciousness, Xiao Chen clashed intensely with the demons. The dangerous scene was no less than a real battle.
In fact, it was even crueler. Sometimes, the demons would not only take on Xiao Chen's appearance but also Ao Jiao, Liu Ruyue, Mo Chen, and everyone else related to Xiao Chen.
If Xiao Chen hesitated, thousands of sabers would pierce his heart, inflicting extreme pain and torture.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen had to maintain a calm heart amid this frenzied massacre. He could not lose himself in the massacre. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to cultivate a saber soul.
After Xiao Chen chopped down all the demons, an illusory seven-colored, glassy saber light appeared in his sea of consciousness.
This was the essence of the Demon Fiend Rock after the negative demons were removed. According to the test's performance and the grade of the Demon Fiend Rock, different amounts of essence would appear.
"This is my first time seeing a seven-colored saber soul essence. Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock is indeed extraordinary."
In the past, when Xiao Chen used Superior Grade Demon Fiend Rocks, silver essence appeared. This time, however, it was a multi-colored one. Xiao Chen wondered what level his saber soul would reach after absorbing it all.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and pushed off the ground, flying towards that seven-colored light.
As Xiao Chen brandished his saber light, the multicolored essence of the saber soul was absorbed into the saber in his hand. When the saber light was completely absorbed, Xiao Chen's expression changed.
When the saber light in his hand was completely absorbed, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. All the illusions vanished. He had already exhausted the Demon Fiend Rock in his hand.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned even sharper. It felt like he could pierce through space with a gentle stab, inspiring fear.
Xiao Chen anxiously sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness. He discovered that the illusory small saber beside the Lightning Talisman had become even more corporeal.
"Seventy-six percent comprehension! What an incredible effect! With another Demon Fiend Rock, my saber soul can definitely advance to eighty-percent comprehension. There are also nine Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks. Who knows, I might be able to advance my saber soul to ninety-percent comprehension and form my own Saber Domain. "
Xiao Chen exclaimed joyfully. He had not expected the effects of the Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock to be so good.
In reality, there was a reason for this. If it were another Emperor Wu using this Demon Fiend Rock, he would not be able to achieve such an effect as Xiao Chen did.
Firstly, this was Xiao Chen's first time using the Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock. Naturally, the effects would be extraordinary. For any natural treasure, the first use would have the greatest effect. After that, the effects would slowly weaken until there was no effect at all.
Secondly, it had to do with Xiao Chen's mental state. His heart was as calm as still water, completely unaffected by the negative emotions. Killing all the demons without sparing a single one would naturally achieve the best effect.
If a large number of demons remained and could not be killed, the impurities in the Demon Fiend Rock would not be removed so cleanly. Perhaps not even half of the seven-colored essence would be left.
When one's mental state reached Emperor Wu's level, the higher one went, the more one would discover the effects of one's mental state.
After tossing aside his thoughts, Xiao Chen took out the second Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock and continued to cultivate.
The first time, Xiao Chen had spent half a day to eliminate all the demons. This time, he only needed four hours.
However, the improvement he obtained shocked him. Seventy-nine percent comprehension. Xiao Chen was still a step away from eighty-percent comprehension.
This blow shattered his dreams. Xiao Chen frowned and said, "The effects are weakening very quickly. To think that I can use ten Demon Fiend Rocks to break through to a Saber Domain. How naive."
If Xiao Chen could advance his saber soul to a Saber Domain before the ceremony, he would be more confident when facing Emperor Wu's mockery.
Even without the Cycle Banner, he could hold his own against a Second Heaven Emperor Wu.
Xiao Chen sighed somewhat helplessly. Then, he continued to absorb the third Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rock. After he finished, his saber soul reached eighty-percent comprehension.
However, Xiao Chen did not feel much joy. With this third Demon Fiend Rock, his saber soul had only reached eighty-percent comprehension, not even eighty-one percent.
If this continued, not to mention a hundred percent comprehension saber soul, even ninety percent comprehension would be an unattainable goal.
"An eighty-percent comprehension saber soul cannot create an absolute suppression. Compared to a seventy-percent comprehension saber soul, there is no qualitative difference."
Xiao Chen frowned heavily. Then, he took out the remaining seven Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks and entered deep thought.
What should I do?!
Within one month, I will announce to the world that I am reestablishing the Dragon's Gate and send out invitations. I already exposed the Sharp Spirit Finger as a trump card. If I do not have another trump card, how am I going to suppress those insignificant people?
Feeling anxious, Xiao Chen could not think of any solution. The effects of the Demon Fiend Rocks gradually decreased. As Xiao Chen absorbed them over and over again, the effects became weaker.
Why do I have to absorb them over and over again? Why not gather them together and absorb all seven Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks at the same time?
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. Inspiration flashed in his mind as he came up with such an idea.
"What are you thinking of doing? Don't mess around!"
Inside the Immortal Spirit Ring, Ao Jiao saw Xiao Chen line up the seven Demon Fiend Rocks as if he wanted to refine them at the same time. This startled her.
"I plan to refine all seven Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks at the same time and risk it all."
"Idiot! To think that you are really planning to do that. Demon Fiend Rocks are evil items in the first place, not anything good. Refining just one is already fatal. You want to absorb them all at the same time? Are you tired of living? "
Ao Jiao scolded, "Don't think that you are the only smart one who thought of this. Some madmen have tried it before. Refining Demon Fiend Rocks at the same time can multiply the effects. However, one can only refine three Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks at the same time. That is the limit. If one exceeds this limit, they will either go crazy, their souls will scatter, or they will become crippled. None of them will have a good ending.
"Even if one can refine three at the same time, that would be a Deity Race cultivator with extraordinary Mental Energy. Few people of the other races can do that."
Xiao Chen's originally hesitant expression became more resolute when he heard this.
Xiao Chen had transmigrated and reincarnated. His Mental Energy was more than twice that of a regular human's in the first place. Furthermore, he cultivated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, making his Mental Energy even stronger, already condensing it into Magic Energy.
In terms of Mental Energy, even the Deity Race's Emperor Wu did not have many people stronger than Xiao Chen. Of course, in terms of usage of Mental Energy, Xiao Chen was definitely not as good as the Deity Race cultivators.
Back then, when Emperor Forsaken made a move, he returned without any results.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt more confident. "Ao Jiao, I never do things rashly. However, this time, I have to take a gamble. The reestablishment of the Dragon's Gate is very important. I do not have the corresponding strength. Just the Haotian Prime alone will not be able to suppress that group of small fries. "
"Pu ci!"
Before Ao Jiao could reply, Xiao Chen's eighty-percent-comprehended saber soul came out of his forehead with a flash. The instant the eighty-percent-comprehended saber soul appeared, all the bladesmen on Heavenly Star Island felt a formless force that made the sabers in their hands tremble.
The saber intent that radiated out buzzed endlessly.
Fortunately, this moment ended as quickly as it came. When the saber soul came in contact with the seven Peak Grade Demon Fiend Rocks, the scattered saber intent immediately vanished.
Black fog shrouded the summit, and a sinister wind blew. A horrifying demon moved unpredictably in the black fog. Such a mysterious phenomenon attracted the attention of all the cultivators around the mountain range.
"What's going on? Why is there such a terrifying Demonic Qi on the peak where Xiao Chen cultivates?"
"That demon is very horrifying. With just one look, the dark side of my heart surged, unable to suppress my murderous intent."
