Although the Army Breaking Saber Technique had reached its peak, Xiao Chen still could not figure out the heaviness and steadiness that Ye Zifeng mentioned.
He had clearly used his full strength in every single move he made, and his momentum was heavy, firm, and tyrannical.
But why did he still say that it was just an empty shell?
Xiao Chen racked his brains, but to no avail. Perhaps it was really as Senior Brother had said, he had to find a saber expert of the same generation to spar with.
However, in this vast Grave Sea, Shangguan Lei was already the strongest bladesman of his generation. His Saber Techniques were not a match for Xiao Chen at all.
If not for the difference in cultivation, Xiao Chen would not have cared about Xiao Chen at all. In terms of saber techniques, Xiao Chen far surpassed Xiao Chen.
Perhaps the experts of the same generation that Senior Brother is referring to are existences like me who have comprehended the Saber Dao Great Dao Power.
Due to this reason, Xiao Chen had no choice but to put aside his cultivation of the Saber Dao for now.
Xiao Chen started to try something that he had never tried before: refining the Heavenly Flame and the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame.
These two flames were primal-chaos-level existences. This was especially so for the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame, which had already reached Rank 3. There was no need to refine it for now.
What he needed to refine was the Heavenly Flame. This extremely domineering Yang-attributed flame was only a core at the moment. It hadn't even reached the first grade.
The fastest way to improve a flame's quality was to devour other flames.
Xiao Chen was prepared for this long ago. Currently, he had the peak Solar True Flame, the Purple Thunder True Fire that came from the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, and the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame that he obtained from the Purple Sun Region's auction.
The quality of the three types of flames were all above the eighth grade.
It was just that its grade was far inferior to the Heavenly Flame. The Primal Chaos Flame was the oldest flame in the world.
It was said that there was a Primal Chaos Flame Ranking in the Great Thousand Worlds. When nurtured to its peak, it would be able to rampage in all directions, becoming a great killing weapon in one's hands.
He didn't know if his two Chaos Level Flames were on the list or what their rankings would be.
Xiao Chen did not think about this for now. He took out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.
As he looked at the familiar appearance of the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, Xiao Chen's thoughts drifted. This cauldron had followed him for many years.
After hesitating for a moment, a flame appeared in Xiao Chen's palm. This was the infamous Heavenly Flame of the Kunlun Realm.
With a gentle blow, the golden heavenly flame slowly fell into the cauldron.
Boom!
The flame immediately burned fiercely in the cauldron. A scorching heat spread out and assaulted Xiao Chen's face.
The intense temperature forced Xiao Chen to circulate his Quintessence to resist. If he continued, he would definitely injure himself.
Kacha, kacha!
Just as Xiao Chen was about to place the Purple Thunder True Fire in, cracks appeared in the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and continuously expanded.
With a bang, the entire Dragon Phoenix Cauldron shattered into pieces.
The golden flame suddenly retracted, turning into a small ball of blazing flame, quietly floating in the air.
"Damn it! Why did you destroy my Dragon Phoenix Cauldron?"
A pained expression appeared on Xiao Chen's face. The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron had been with him for a long time, carrying many memories of the Kunlun Realm.
It shattered just like that. It was truly unexpected and caught them off guard.
"It is my fault for not considering it thoroughly. This Dragon Phoenix Cauldron is a replica. How could it withstand the might of the Heavenly Flame?"
Xiao Chen withdrew his flames and looked at the shattered Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. Then, he sighed softly.
He needed to change to a better cauldron.
"Martial Uncle, someone is looking for you!"
Just at this moment, Ling Yu's voice rang out from outside.
If there is nothing important, Ling Yu will not disturb me, Xiao Chen thought to himself. Then, his figure flashed as he walked out.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Ling Yu smiled and said, "That Monk Zhen Yuan is here to ask for forgiveness. Even his master is here. The Sect Master said that this matter depends on your attitude. If you insist on being stubborn, then Zhen Yuan will be in a miserable state. He might even be punished to face the wall for ten years. "
"Where is he?"
"He is just outside our courtyard. I left him hanging and did not bother with them," Ling Yu said, feeling aggrieved.
Wasn't Zhen Yuan's master the Monk Xuan Bei?
No matter what, that Xuan Bei had saved Xiao Chen's life before. That was a different matter. Xiao Chen could not slight him.
"Make some preparations and properly entertain our honored guest. That Venerable Xuan Bei saved my life before."
Afraid that the Venerable Xuan Bei would wait for too long, Xiao Chen's figure flashed and quickly arrived outside the courtyard.
"Benefactor Xiao, how have you been?!"
When the Venerable Xuan Bei saw Xiao Chen arrive, he placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
Zhen Yuan, who was at the side, showed a sincere expression as he bowed as well.
Xiao Chen bowed slightly and said, "Venerable is too polite. If it is because of your disciple, you can rest assured. I have no intention of pursuing this matter."
The Venerable Xuan Bei smiled kindly. He was not surprised by this and thanked Xiao Chen again.
However, Zhen Yuan was startled. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen let go of such a great opportunity to punish him so easily.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Venerable, this way, please."
Ling Yu had already prepared tea in the great hall. Then, the group sat down according to etiquette.
"Benefactor Xiao, I was rash in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield. Although you forgave me on account of my master, please accept this small gift of thanks. "
Zhen Yuan stepped forward and handed a brocade box to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen casually received it but did not open it.
No matter how hard Zhen Yuan made things for Xiao Chen in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, the Venerable Xuan Bei had saved him before.
Accepting the Venerable Xuan Bei's gift of thanks would be equivalent to writing off this matter and not mentioning it again in the future.
The Venerable Xuan Bei looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Benefactor Xiao, what are your plans after this? I can see that your complexion is full and your aura is stable. You are not like others who just advanced and have unstable cultivations. You will probably have to go on experiential training soon. "
Xiao Chen's cultivation was stable, and he had reached the peak in all aspects. Naturally, he could not continue closed-door cultivation.
Regular sect disciples would usually accept sect missions at this moment and go on experiential training. Xiao Chen was not a member of the Purple Flame Sect and could not do as he was told, so he could only think of another way.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I am still considering it, but I have not decided yet. There are still some things I need to do."
The Venerable Xuan Bei smiled faintly. After exchanging some conventional greetings, he sent Zhen Yuan away, showing an expression of having something important to discuss.
Xiao Chen immediately understood and got Ling Yu to leave for now. Then, he asked, "Venerable, what do you have to say?"
The Venerable Xuan Bei took a sip of tea before putting down the teacup. Then, he said softly, "Naturally, I am not worried about Zhen Yuan's matter. I believe that you will give me some face and not hold it against him. What I want to talk about is the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique! "
Xiao Chen's face sank, and his expression changed. However, he did not understand what the Venerable Xuan Bei meant.
Is he going to represent the Buddhist sect and take back this Saber Technique?
That will not do. Even if the other party saved my life, I absolutely cannot hand this Saber Technique over to him. I also cannot let the other party cripple my Breaking the Mundane and Resolving the Mundane.
The Venerable Xuan Bei said, "You have to hand over the Saber Technique manual and cripple the two moves that you practiced. This old monk will give you a corresponding compensation."
I really guessed correctly …
Xiao Chen did not know how to reply. The Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique was indeed a Buddhist sect Martial Technique.
Furthermore, it was not an ordinary Buddhist sect Martial Technique. It was a consummate Buddhist sect Martial Technique derived from a Primogenitor Grade Cultivation Technique.
Large sects always treated their Cultivation Techniques as their exclusive property. That was the foundation of their sect.
They were not allowed to casually teach it to outsiders. As for the consummate Martial Techniques that were leaked, they had to send experts of the sect to investigate and take them back.
The other party was an esteemed monk of the orthodox Buddhist sect. The Profound Light Temple definitely had a connection with the Hidden Spirit Temple. As they belonged to the same sect, their relationship was like that of a superior and a subordinate.
Making such a request was morally justifiable and not overboard.
The crucial thing was that Xiao Chen did not want to offend the Profound Light Temple now. After all, he had just temporarily resolved his grudge with the Black Lotus Church.
Xiao Chen asked after some consideration, "Venerable, can I not hand it over?"
The Venerable Xuan Bei smiled and replied, "Naturally, you can."
"How?"
"Convert to the Buddhist sect. I can personally help you tonsure and recommend you to join the Hidden Spirit Temple of the Central Great Realm …"
Xiao Chen felt speechless. The Venerable Xuan Bei really could not forget about accepting me into the Buddhist sect.
"Is there no other way?"
The Venerable Xuan Bei shook his head and said, "At the very least, you have to hand over the Saber Technique. In the future, if you expose your Saber Techniques while roaming the Central Great Realm, you will not be able to escape. The people from the four Buddhist monasteries will all find trouble with you. You don't have anyone you know to speak for you, so it will be even more difficult. "
"When the time comes, the people from the Commandment Hall will take action and treat you as a traitor. The other four great temples can also exert influence on the four great dynasties …"
The Venerable Master Xuan Bei's attainments in the Buddhist Dharma were very high. However, he was also very clear about the ways of the world. The hint he was hinting at was very obvious. He was already helping Xiao Chen by handling this matter.
"If you hand me the saber manual and swear not to teach the saber technique to anyone else, the situation will be different. Not only will you form a connection with the Hidden Spirit Temple, but you will also receive a lot of care in the future. I will also give you a corresponding reward. "
The Venerable Xuan Bei tried to move Xiao Chen with his emotions and reason, advising him to not be stubborn.
Xiao Chen analyzed in his heart. That saber manual only had three moves of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, and he had already comprehended them.
With or without the Saber Manual, Xiao Chen could practice the final move, Entering Hell.
However, the value of the Saber Manual was clear. Back then, the Savage Blood Star Venerate did not hesitate to destroy an entire sect to obtain it.
From this, Xiao Chen could prove the value of the Saber Technique.
Never mind, I'll just hand it over. The Buddhist sects are very powerful. I really don't want to get involved in any trouble.
Xiao Chen made up his mind. Then, he took out the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique's saber manual and handed it to the Venerable Master Xuan Bei.
"Breaking the Mundane, Resolving the Mundane, Entering Hell. There are a total of three moves. I can swear that the saber manual in my hands only has these three moves. "
The Venerable Master Xuan Bei did not ask any further. He only looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Benefactor Xiao, how many moves do you know?"
"Breaking the Mundane, Resolving the Mundane, both comprehended the true meaning."
The moment Xiao Chen said that, the Venerable Master Xuan Bei immediately felt that it was a pity. Disappointment filled his face as he said, "This Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique is a forbidden technique of my Buddhist sect. Not just anyone can practice it. Benefactor is an outsider, yet you managed to practice two moves. This is really …"
After all the miscellaneous steps were completed, Xiao Chen made a Heart Demon Oath not to spread the saber manual.
The Venerable Master Xuan Bei handed Xiao Chen a golden page with words that he had personally written. In the future, if the Buddhist sect's people used this saber to make things difficult for Xiao Chen, they would treat him with respect.
With this as proof, the Buddhist sect's people would not make things difficult for Xiao Chen. Instead, they would treat him with respect.
"This is a gift from the Golden Letter. It is one of the highest appreciation gifts of the Buddhist sect. I hope that Benefactor Xiao will cherish it."
The Venerable Master Xuan Bei handed the golden page to Xiao Chen. Then, he took out a storage ring with his reward in it. "These are some secular gifts. Please accept them. We will meet again in the future."
After the Venerable Master Xuan Bei and Zhen Yuan left, Ling Yu rushed in and asked, "Martial Uncle, why did that old monk look for you?"
Xiao Chen looked at the golden page in his hand and the storage ring. Then, he said softly, "Nothing much. It's just that today, I realized that people who hide a dagger behind a smile are the scariest. They make it impossible for you to reject them."
