"Hu!" Amid the chaos, a black flag materialized in Xiao Chen's eyes. Finally, it materialized in the air. Xiao Chen shouted and flew into the air. Then, he grabbed the pole of the flag and stabbed it into the ground.
A resounding "Xiao" character appeared on the black flag. This was the mark left by the Sage. In the end, Xiao Chen had assimilated it.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, and his surroundings changed again. Xiao Chen stood on the bow of the silver warship. He had finally returned to the real world.
The black flag on the bow fluttered. The "Yan" character on the flag had disappeared, replaced by the "Xiao" character. This Secret Treasure finally bore Xiao Chen's mark.
Xiao Chen smiled gently and sent out his Spiritual Sense. He started to check the formation lines on the Secret Treasure. After a while, he withdrew his Spiritual Sense. He felt slightly disappointed.
The formation lines on the offensive formation had not improved. There were no signs of them being repaired. It looked like he could only redraw them when his cultivation realm increased.
However, the other functions of the Secret Treasure had already recovered. It was no different from when it was at its peak. At the very least, its speed and defense should not disappoint Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and jumped off the bow. The Secret Treasure still had to go through lightning for forty-nine days before it could truly condense the Dao of Heaven and Earth. For the time being, there was nothing for Xiao Chen to do.
Being ten thousand meters in the air, there was a different feeling. Xiao Chen felt this special feeling as he quickly descended to the ground.
An unending stream of dark clouds appeared below Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense and saw countless raindrops falling from the clouds. When the clouds collided, thunder roared and lightning tore through the sky.
Xiao Chen sighed, "When one is in the sky, I nearly forgot about the mundane world."
Xiao Chen had not finished using the Medial Grade Spirit Stones in his hand. He infused his Essence into his body and charged through the dark clouds. The Essence on his body blocked off the falling raindrops, allowing them to flow out of his body.
Xiao Chen suddenly became interested. He used the Battle Sage Origin's Changing Character Formula to imitate Ji Changkong's Martial Technique. His body turned into a meteor and landed on the ground.
Boom!
The meteor pierced through the endless curtain of rain in the sky and landed on the ground in an instant. It exploded with a loud bang, and Xiao Chen's figure appeared. The surrounding air waves shook, and countless raindrops evaporated in an instant.
Looking at the Medial Grade Spirit Stone that had completely lost its luster, Xiao Chen was somewhat astonished. He muttered, "This is a Martial Technique that requires an inherited Martial Spirit. Using the Changing Character Formula to imitate it consumes too much energy. I have to remember this in the future."
Xiao Chen tossed aside the Medial Grade Spirit Stone that he had exhausted all his Essence. Then, he walked quickly through the rain. Xiao Chen walked quickly on the Zhuang River. Finally, he passed through the gushing waterfall and entered the cave.
He took out the ancient Martial Techniques from the Universe Ring. Xiao Chen started to read them slowly. These so-called ancient words were the traditional Chinese characters of China. It was not difficult for Xiao Chen to read them.
He had just seen the life of an ancient sage and gained some comprehension in his heart. This kind of comprehension was a very profound state. Xiao Chen felt his mind become much clearer. Many of the problems that he could not figure out in the past were instantly solved.
He did not know when this state would disappear. Hence, he quickly took out the ancient Martial Techniques and read them carefully, hoping to gain some comprehension.
The ancient Martial Techniques were very different from the Martial Techniques of the present world. The biggest difference was that the ancient Martial Techniques were not divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, or Yellow.
Xiao Chen read them carefully one by one. He did not seek to understand all of them; he just wanted to gain some comprehension. He skipped over the parts that he could not understand. He would not be stuck at a dead end.
Just like that, Xiao Chen read the five ancient Martial Techniques in the cave for half a month. Only when the feeling of comprehension disappeared did Xiao Chen stop.
"Hua la la!"
The waterfall in front of the cave continued to flow. Xiao Chen looked through the waterfall and saw that the rain did not stop. It continued to pour without end. Because the silver warship had to undergo a baptism of lightning, the rain did not stop for the past half a month.
Xiao Chen got up and passed through the gushing waterfall with a 'shua' sound. He faced the pouring rain and landed on the gushing Zhuang River. The water on the Zhuang River surged; it had already reached the riverbank long ago.
The current on the river was faster than ever. Xiao Chen's Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art had already reached the Small Perfection. Relying on this Heaven Ranked Movement Technique, he stood firmly on the surface of the gushing river, not panicking at all.
Closing his eyes, Xiao Chen allowed the rain to fall on him. He carefully thought about the gains he had made in the past half a month. His mind was clear and he entered a wondrous state.
The ancient Martial Techniques gave him a lot of inspiration. Some of them were Sword Techniques, some were purely Cultivation Techniques, and some were Spear Techniques. However, Xiao Chen did not intend to practice them.
These Martial Techniques were not the peak Martial Techniques of the ancient era. As the saying goes, one should not bite off more than one can chew. If he were to practice them all over again, the gains would not make up for the losses. When the various Martial Techniques were mixed together, they would end up becoming fetters.
Xiao Chen intended to continue comprehending the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique. He wanted to combine the things he had comprehended in the past half a month, the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, and the Battle Sage Origin's Changing Character Formula. He wanted to make the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique undergo a qualitative change.
The difficulty of this was no less than creating a new Martial Technique. Using the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique as the core, Xiao Chen combined what he had learned in the past and his recent comprehensions to refine the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique.
Xiao Chen stood on the surface of the Zhuang River for half a month. He seemed to have felt the bloodline of the Zhuang River. The gushing river water seemed to have merged with him.
"Pu Ci!"
On this day, Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes. His black pupils were calm, without any ripples. With a thought, the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his right hand from the Universe Ring with a 'shua' sound.
"Drawing the Saber!"
Xiao Chen's feet moved slightly and his right hand slowly brandished the saber. There was no light on the saber. With a 'shua' sound, the saber flashed through the rain, passing through the gaps between the raindrops. It disappeared in a flash. It was extremely fast and did not get any water on it.
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and landed on the surface of the water. There was a loud rumble and a two-meter tall wave was kicked up. Electricity flowed on the surface of the water and was transmitted to Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change at all. The electricity crackled and exploded on his skin. He looked like he was covered in electricity, but it did not injure him at all.
Finally, the electricity gathered on the black blade of the Lunar Shadow Saber. Xiao Chen took a step forward and made use of this electricity to quickly draw his saber.
"Arclight Chop!"
A purple arc, carrying with it a two-meter-long electric light, exploded in the rain with a bang. In an instant, the water droplets immediately evaporated into steam. A mist spread out, and the surrounding space seemed to be cut off. There was a momentary emptiness in the pouring rain.
"Boom!" Another bolt of lightning resounded and the waves soared to the sky. Xiao Chen soared into the sky, creating an intense wave under his feet.
For this Rushing Heaven Chop, Xiao Chen combined the Dragon Soaring Cloud Art. His figure was as fast as a flood dragon. Everywhere he passed, the rain was cut in half.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen moved several hundred meters. With the help of the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, his body suddenly spun in midair and actually paused for a moment.
In a situation where he did not use the Gravity Spell, this was almost impossible. The Gravity Spell took too long to activate, so it did not have much combat value. Thus, Xiao Chen usually only used it to escape.
"Pu!"
The instant he paused, Xiao Chen's aura suddenly rose to its peak. Under the pressure of this aura, the falling rain seemed to slow down.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! "
"Rushing Thunder Chop!"
Xiao Chen shouted and thunder roared behind him. Countless claps of thunder sounded out, making his aura even more horrifying. It was like a thunder god had descended.
"Bang!"
Carrying the momentum of the rushing thunder, Xiao Chen chopped the water with his saber. The huge force sliced the water in half like tofu, forming a wall of water. Then, a three-meter high wave rose.
Xiao Chen landed in the water and the walls of water on both sides quickly closed up. Although the walls of water looked soft, they contained a thousand kilograms of force. It could easily crush a cultivator into meat paste.
"Rushing Thunder Second Chain Chop!"
Using the energy accumulated from the previous four attacks, Xiao Chen quickly executed the Rushing Thunder Second Chain Chop. This attack did not have a clear target; it was just swung at the air.
"Hu Chi!"
A whirlpool of energy appeared in the air, sucking in the walls of water that were closing up and forming a huge whirlpool. Xiao Chen pushed off gently and jumped to the riverbank.
The whirlpool spun for a long time. The surrounding river water was all gathered together. After a while, a huge pillar of water rose up and rushed to the sky.
Xiao Chen stood on the riverbank and looked at the pillar of water rushing to the sky. There was not much satisfaction on his face. In the past month, Xiao Chen had used the Sage Dao Comprehension and the ancient Martial Techniques to evolve the Rushing Thunder Chop to an even more horrifying level.
However, it was still far from the goal in his heart. The Martial Techniques that he had learned were not completely melded together. In the past month, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the potential of the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique was limitless.
It did not seem like a Profound Ranked Martial Technique at all. Even until now, he still could not understand the laws contained within it. He was also unable to execute the Rushing Thunder Third Chain Chop. He felt that something was missing.
Xiao Chen sighed slightly and smiled bitterly, "Looks like it will be difficult for me to completely comprehend the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique as a Superior Grade Martial Master."
After resting for a while, Xiao Chen looked into the distance. His gaze penetrated through the misty rain. He looked at the middle-sized Spirit Gathering Formation at the peak of the mountain in the distance. Then, he executed the Gravity Spell and flew in that direction.
After a while, he passed through the boundless clouds. Xiao Chen stood on the peak of the mountain once again. It was raining here as well. However, it was raining Spiritual Energy that had turned into spiritual liquid.
In the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation, the golden pillar of light was still as resplendent as before. The Spirit Spring on the silver warship had already been repaired long ago. At this moment, it was undergoing the baptism of lightning and did not need the help of Spiritual Energy.
Xiao Chen stored the Spiritual Energy in the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation into his Universe Ring. Then, he walked into the Spirit Gathering Formation and sat down cross-legged, entering a state of cultivation. He did not want to waste the Spiritual Energy that he had gathered.
In an instant, the liquefied Spiritual Energy in the air all gathered on Xiao Chen's body. Boundless Spiritual Energy poured into Xiao Chen's body.
The Spiritual Energy in Xiao Chen's meridians surged endlessly. The speed of his cultivation in the Spirit Gathering Formation was much faster than the cave behind the waterfall. Xiao Chen consumed another Fasting Pill and started to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
