--- On Heavenly Star Island, after Emperor Forsaken left, the other honored guests took their leave.
After such a farce, Xiao Chen was severely injured and was no longer fit to speak about the Dao. However, this farce allowed everyone to truly witness Xiao Chen's strength.
Before the Primes left, they all more or less left behind their treasured Medicinal Pills for Xiao Chen, expressing their concern and taking sides.
However, Xiao Chen was no longer in the mood to think about these minor matters. Emperor Forsaken's three palm strikes showed him the difference between himself and a Prime.
This was especially so for the final saber strike. Xiao Chen reversed time and space, traveling to the past.
In the end, this peak saber strike only left a tiny saber mark on Emperor Forsaken's face. Thinking about it, Xiao Chen felt really sad.
When he passed through, his body would be damaged. However, the result of summoning him back was a little unworthy of him.
After the few Supremes checked Xiao Chen's injuries one after another and found that there were no fatal injuries, they took their leave.
Given Xiao Chen's current cultivation, as long as it was not a fatal injury, he could recover quickly with the aid of miraculous Medicinal Pills and his physical body.
There was no need to worry too much. All the Primes had left. Only Ying Zongtian remained.
"Big Brother Ying, there is no need to worry. I will recover after recuperating for a while," Xiao Chen answered as he stood up.
Ying Zongtian smiled and said, "Are you chasing me away? Originally, I came here intending to give you something. Now, it looks like I'll keep it for myself. "
"What is it?" Xiao Chen could not help asking out of curiosity.
"The Martial God Medallion. The Martial God Medallion that the Thunder King gave me. It allows me to control the entire Bushin Palace," Ying Zongtian said, enunciating every word with a serious expression.
When Xiao Chen heard that, he was stunned. The Dragon's Gate Elders beside him were startled as well.
Clearly, they had not expected Ying Zongtian to hand the Martial God Medallion to Xiao Chen.
"There is no need to worry. I already changed my mind. You are already under enough pressure. I'll give you some more pressure. If it's really not good, you should just focus on recuperating. "
"I really didn't expect that Big Brother would think so highly of me," Xiao Chen said with a wry smile, "But I really don't have the heart to take charge of Bushin Palace. But if Bushin Palace needs me, I will be the first to rush over. "
Ying Zongtian revealed a gratified expression. He nodded and said, "You must have gained a lot from the battle with Emperor Forsaken. I will remain on Heavenly Star Island for this period of time. If you need anything, you can ask me anytime. "
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Thank you, Big Brother Ying. After I recover from my injuries, I will definitely seek your guidance."
"Haha, alright, I'll be waiting." Ying Zongtian laughed and agreed without hesitation.
Exchanging blows with the current Xiao Chen was exactly what he wanted.
Three days later.
At the summit of the Dragon's Gate's mountain, Xiao Chen stood alone.
Xiao Chen managed to receive three palm strikes from Emperor Forsaken, even forcing the other party to make an oath. To others, this was an incredible matter, ruthlessly dampening Emperor Forsaken's spirit.
However, to Xiao Chen, it was indescribable bitterness in his heart.
Xiao Chen was very clear on the difference between him and Emperor Forsaken. Simply put, it was cultivation.
The other party's cultivation was much higher than his. However, Xiao Chen's cultivation remained stagnant, with no room for improvement.
As long as the Emperor's Door of an Emperor did not open, Xiao Chen's cultivation could not improve.
Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the clouds around the summit. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that my cultivation will remain stagnant for the rest of my life, unable to improve?"
That was truly tragic. If his cultivation did not improve, he would not be a match for Emperor Forsaken even if he had another hundred years.
That day, when he received the second palm from Emperor Forsaken, he already understood. His martial arts skills were no weaker than the other party's, and with sufficient cultivation, he could easily receive the attack.
However, it was a pity that the other party used brute force to overcome his technique. No matter how he struggled, he was unable to dodge the palm strike.
As for being able to receive the third palm strike, it was a complete fluke. At the last moment, the power of the Great Path burst forth with full force. Only then did he manage to break through the space and time in front of Emperor Forsaken.
If he hadn't disrupted the other party's rhythm, the might of the third palm strike would have definitely killed him.
Whoosh!
An air-piercing sound rang out, and a person suddenly appeared beside him. Xiao Chen didn't need to guess to know who this person was.
Ying Zongtian was the only one who could come to his side without making a sound and arouse his vigilance.
"Little Brother Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Are you still vexed about that battle?" Ying Zongtian said consolingly as he patted Xiao Chen's shoulder with a smile on his face.
Xiao Chen nodded and sighed softly, "I feel like I've reached a bottleneck. Furthermore, I can't see any hope of defeating Emperor Forsaken."
Ying Zongtian was not surprised. Many of the Nine Heaven Emperor Wu of the Kunlun Realm would end up like Xiao Chen if they could not break through to Prime.
There was clearly a path ahead, but it was blocked. Their cultivation stopped, unable to advance.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not advance. It was not because of themselves but because there were no more paths in the Kunlun Realm.
Even if one was one of those one in ten thousand cultivators, they would soon reach a bottleneck after advancing to Prime.
This was the sorrow of all the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm. This was an indescribable sorrow for all the cultivators born in the abandoned land.
"Now, you should understand what I said to you back then, right?" Ying Zongtian sighed as he withdrew his smile.
Back then, when Ying Zongtian learned of Xiao Chen's identity, he immediately chose to stand behind Xiao Chen.
It was because Ying Zongtian thought highly of Xiao Chen and believed that he could surpass Prime. At that time, Ying Zongtian was just like Xiao Chen now, sad and helpless.
"I understand. Big Brother's words from back then are still fresh in my memory. Might I ask the heavens if there is a Martial God after Prime?! "
When Xiao Chen recalled the past, he felt somewhat rueful. Unexpectedly, in a few short years, he encountered the same problem as Ying Zongtian.
Ying Zongtian revealed a grave expression on his handsome face. He sighed softly, "Martial God? That is so far away. Perhaps this Martial God is just our imagination, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, thinking that the world is only so big. "
"Big Brother Ying, why the need to be so pessimistic?" Xiao Chen consoled.
Ying Zongtian smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Your injuries should have healed by now, right? I came here today to tell you that Emperor Forsaken is not as difficult to defeat as you think. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign is not as hard to defeat as you imagine him to be. In reality, I do not wish for you to make him your target at all.
Xiao Chen revealed a shocked expression. This was unexpected. "Why?"
"In that battle three days ago, you felt that you were in a sorry state. Actually, he was in an even worse state. He is just a pitiful worm. So what if he is the strongest person of the Kunlun Realm? Once he leaves this abandoned land, he is nothing. "
Ying Zongtian revealed a mocking expression as he continued, "Don't set him as your target. He is just a coward who does not even dare to take the Kunlun Road. The gap between you and him is not as big as you think."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "However, right now, I cannot improve my cultivation at all …"
Ying Zongtian interrupted Xiao Chen and asked, "How many strands of Primordial Energy do you think I have?"
"Rumor has it that a Prime has more than ten thousand strands of Primordial Energy."
Ying Zongtian guffawed when he heard this. "Nonsense. If I really have that many, do you think this body of mine can withstand it?"
"This …"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned. He had not considered this question before. How strong would a physical body be if there was so much Primordial Energy gathered in one's body?
"Let me tell you. Like you, a Prime only has one thousand strands of Primordial Energy!"
Ying Zongtian continued, "Emperor Wu of the Nine Heavens only has nine hundred strands of Primordial Energy. However, you have one thousand strands. The moment you jumped off the Emperor's Road, the shackles on your body were already broken."
Xiao Chen asked in confusion, "In that case, why do I feel that the gap between my strength and Emperor Forsaken's has not changed? Could it be my misconception?"
"It is not a misconception. It is real. Your state of cycle can support Primordial Energy. The Great Dao that you comprehended can support Primordial Energy as well, increasing its might. "
Ying Zongtian crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Chen. "However, have you ever considered that Emperor Forsaken's power of faith and will of holy light can also support Primordial Energy?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he felt like he had been enlightened, enlightened, and enlightened.
