Lan Chaofeng explained, "Don't find it strange. The Ying Zongtian you know underwent three Sovereign Tribulations in a row, gaining the strength to fight with Primes. Back then, the Thunder King was the same. However, my baleful aura is too heavy, and I overestimated my strength. "
Xiao Chen said quickly, "Senior, don't worry. In the future, when this junior really becomes a Martial Emperor, I will definitely help you search for divine herbs that can extend your lifespan."
Lan Chaofeng smiled and said, "It's good that you have the intention. There is no need for you to worry about this. I know my own matters the best. I called you here for another reason. "
"What is it?"
"Show me your Saber Domain."
Although Xiao Chen did not know what the other party was planning, he still did as he was told. "Senior, please move back a little."
"Boom!"
With a thought, thousands of saber lights shot out of Xiao Chen's body. The sabers flickered with electricity, buzzing endlessly.
Strong saber intents gathered together. Wherever the saber pointed, a sharp aura seemed to be able to pierce through space.
If it were a weak person standing in front of Xiao Chen, this sharp aura would have pierced thousands of holes into them.
Xiao Chen, who was in the Saber Domain, was like a sovereign king. Everywhere he looked, he looked frightening, giving off a trace of the grace of a Saber Sovereign.
"That's it?"
Lan Chaofeng, who was in the air, smiled coldly and took a step forward. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The sabers in Xiao Chen's Saber Domain all shattered, turning into electricity and disappearing.
This startled Xiao Chen. How can it be like this?
It looked like the Saber Domain was about to crumble. The Mental Energy in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness surged continuously, turning into many sabers that shot out from his body, maintaining the Saber Domain from crumbling.
However, this was still not enough. Every time a saber appeared in Xiao Chen's body, it would immediately shatter. In the end, the speed at which the Saber Domain formed could not keep up with the speed at which it shattered.
When the Saber Domain completely crumbled, Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood and took three steps back, feeling dizzy.
Suddenly, a fine drizzle fell from the sky. Lan Chaofeng walked over step by step in the rain. The curtain of rain blurred Xiao Chen's vision.
He could not see clearly whether it was a person or a saber that was walking over.
He reached out his hand to wipe his face, but to his surprise, he discovered that his hand was covered in blood. Only now did he realize that his entire body was covered in cuts and bruises.
Every drop of rain that fell from the sky contained a boundless saber intent. Every drop of water was a murderous saber.
The dagger spun around Lan Chaofeng's fingers, and the rain stopped. Coincidentally, Lan Chaofeng walked over to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was startled. "Whose Saber Domain is this?"
A dagger was a short saber. Strictly speaking, a domain comprehended with a dagger could naturally be considered a Saber Domain.
"You are not stupid. This is indeed my Saber Domain."
"But why …"
"You want to ask why I didn't use it when I fought you, right? Little fellow, your timing was so accurate. If I really tried to use it, I would have to fully open my Saber Domain, and you would die on the spot. "
Xiao Chen felt shocked. To think that a Saber Domain could be used like that. This was truly an eye-opener.
"Your Saber Domain cannot even be considered a basic Saber Domain. It is very rough and full of openings. Even if I did not comprehend a Saber Domain, I have hundreds of ways to break it for you. "
Xiao Chen suddenly startled awake. Why was Lan Chaofeng looking for him? He quickly bowed and performed a cupped-fist salute. "Senior, please guide me!"
Lan Chaofeng smiled without saying anything. He did not rush to agree to Xiao Chen's request. Instead, he asked, "I can teach you, but you have to tell me what other trump cards you have."
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Honestly speaking, this junior still has an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. That five-colored starlight that fell from the sky earlier was actually the peak strike of this junior's Secret Treasure."
Lan Chaofeng felt slightly stunned. Then, he scolded jokingly, "Brat, you indeed still have more trump cards. One hundred strands of Primordial Energy, the initial Thunder Saber Domain, and an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. You tricked that old man from the Five Poison Sect. Hahahaha! "
Suddenly, Lan Chaofeng's laughter stopped. Then, he changed the topic. "However, it is fine if you tricked him. Why did you trick this old man as well?"
Lan Chaofeng was temperamental, his emotions changing unpredictably. Xiao Chen found him somewhat unfathomable, not daring to reply.
"Brat, you are really black-hearted. However, you still have some comprehension ability. I'll teach you a move or two, then. Let me ask you first, what is a Saber Domain? If you do not answer well, I will not teach you, "Lan Chaofeng said.
Xiao Chen felt helpless in his heart. Back then, you were the one who said that I could do whatever I wanted.
However, Xiao Chen could only say this in his heart. Right now, he had to think of how to answer Senior Lan's question.
What was a Saber Domain?
Initially, when a bladesman comprehended saber intent, it was just a form of intent. One could feel it but not grasp it, unable to see it clearly. After it advanced to a saber soul, it became tangible, something that could be clearly seen in the sea of consciousness.
However, after it advanced to a Saber Domain, it became formless again, even more ethereal. It was like it had become a hazy state. One could not see it, touch it, or feel it. However, one could sense its existence just by looking at it.
With a thought, the Saber Domain would immediately form, and that aura would burst forth from one's body.
However, what exactly was a Saber Domain? Xiao Chen really could not say. After thinking for a long time, he still could not describe it.
Lan Chaofeng looked at the frowning Xiao Chen and revealed a mocking smile, waiting for Xiao Chen's answer.
"I don't know."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen answered honestly, unable to answer.
Lan Chaofeng appeared stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "You are really a brat. You are very honest. If you give a long speech now, thinking yourself infallible, I will definitely turn around and leave. What I want is for you to not know."
Xiao Chen felt somewhat stunned. That works too?
"Is that for real? Senior, don't lie to me."
Lan Chaofeng smiled and said, "Why would I lie to you? Something like a Saber Domain is ethereal and formless. Even I cannot explain it clearly. If you can explain it so clearly and logically, I really don't know how to teach you. "
When Xiao Chen heard that, he entered deep thought. Lan Chaofeng's words made him feel enlightened.
"The Thunder Saber Domain is not for you to play around with. You are like a hedgehog, wrapping yourself up in it. I'll first teach you how to go from power to subtlety. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own ability. "
Although Lan Chaofeng said that, his gaze as he looked at Xiao Chen clearly brimmed with anticipation.
Perhaps he saw a shadow of himself in Xiao Chen, and he didn't want this young man to end up like him.
"From force to subtlety?" Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
Lan Chaofeng nodded and said, "That's right. Right now, your grasp of the Thunder Saber Domain is still at the level of power. What is subtlety? Simply put, it is when others cannot see your saber but can clearly feel your Saber Domain. "
"For example, my Upper Water Saber Domain. With a thought, the drizzle falls silently. Even though the saber light cannot be seen, the saber is everywhere."
Xiao Chen immediately understood. "That is to say, my Thunder Saber Domain has to hide the saber light in the lightning."
"That's right. That is the direction. However, it is not as simple as you say. What you need to do is to merge your entire power into space. It is not as simple as hiding the saber light in the lightning. Instead, you need to hide your power in this entire space. With a thought, lightning and electric light will come out. Saber intent filling the air is everywhere and can be used by you. "
Lightning and electric light came out. Saber intent filling the air was everywhere.
Xiao Chen felt like he was enlightened. His entire being became enlightened. Lan Chaofeng had opened a door for him that he had never seen before.
"I'll show you the difference."
Lan Chaofeng stretched out a finger and tapped Xiao Chen's forehead.
Instantly, many scenes flickered, forming a coherent image that appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
In the scene, Lan Chaofeng hovered in the air. His long hair fluttered about, and strong winds howled. Many short sabers with cold light floated beside him.
Lan Chaofeng's body exuded a boundless aura. His entire being seemed to merge with the Saber Domain around him. Everywhere he looked, Xiao Chen's mind trembled. That aura was too sharp.
How strong!
This Saber Domain pushed Lan Chaofeng's aura to its limits. Xiao Chen asked himself if he would concede defeat on the spot.
However, he kept feeling that something was off. Although this aura was strong, it was not as shocking as the scene of Lan Chaofeng walking over step by step in the rain.
"I understand now. Senior is directly telling me the difference between before and after entering refinement. Indeed, I have to make a comparison before I can see the difference."
The scene continued to change. Lan Chaofeng started fighting continuously. Xiao Chen watched carefully, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Before entering refinement, Lan Chaofeng had won every battle, chopping off his opponent's head. However, he always had wounds of various sizes on his body.
That Saber Domain looked terrifyingly powerful, but his opponent would always have a chance to break it and injure Senior Lan.
After entering Refinement, Lan Chaofeng won every battle. However, Senior Lan never got injured again. The saber intent filling the air was truly everywhere.
"Do you understand now?" Lan Chaofeng asked as he withdrew his hand.
Xiao Chen nodded. "I don't fully understand, but I understand what Senior is trying to say. You only have strength, but you can't completely grasp it. You will always be found by your opponent. Only by being omnipresent and pervasive can we strike fear into our opponents' hearts. "
"That's right, Saber Domain, Saber Domain. The emphasis is not on the word 'Saber' but on the word 'Domain' behind it."
Inspiration flashed in Xiao Chen's mind. "Senior, does that mean that in the future, cultivating the Saber Domain will transfer to the state of space?"
Lan Chaofeng revealed a gratified smile in his eyes. "Just a hint and you understand. However, this is not something you can touch on right now. The state of space is broad and profound. Minor Heavenly Emperor Wu can only scratch the surface of it. Greater Heavenly Emperor Wu can only gain some understanding of it. Only Sovereign Martial Emperors can reach Small Perfection.
"The peak Sovereign Martial Emperors of the Kunlun Realm are all people with high attainments in the state of space. However, there is no need for you to think so much now. Just focus on comprehending from power to subtlety. Continue watching. I will demonstrate my state of water to you again. "
As Lan Chaofeng taught Xiao Chen, Lan Shaobai and Mo Chen did not remain idle, either. They were anxiously making arrangements for the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony in secret.
The time was already set. All that was left was for Xiao Chen to decide, and he could announce it to the world.
--- On the other side, the news of Xiao Chen starting a life-and-death battle with the Five Poison Sect's Martial Emperor elder three days later instantly spread throughout the entire Western Sea.
After that, it quickly spread through the Heavenly Starry Ocean and reached the Kunlun Continent.
