At the mention of Lan Luo, the Soaring Dragon Marquis appeared somewhat sorrowful.
Just at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside. Lan Luo rushed in.
"Eighth Sister!"
Long Yan exclaimed in some fluster, appearing somewhat shocked.
When Lan Luo saw the two's expressions, she said, "Indeed, it is as Xiao Chen said. You two are hiding something from me."
The Soaring Dragon Marquis exchanged looks with Long Yan. After a moment of silence, the Soaring Dragon Marquis said, "Speak the truth, then."
Long Yan organized his thoughts and told Lan Luo about the cause and effect of the matter.
"This Monarch Yu is really despicable. I absolutely will not marry him."
Lan Luo revealed a disgusted expression. When she thought of Monarch Yu's actions, she felt repulsed.
Long Yan asked, "Earlier, you said that Xiao Chen already knows. What's going on?"
Lan Luo did not hesitate to tell the two everything that Xiao Chen told her.
After the Soaring Dragon Marquis heard that, he smiled bitterly and said, "I already gave him such a high evaluation. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated him. Let's leave this matter at that. When the little monk's master arrives, I will personally send him off and apologize to him. "
…
Night arrived as scheduled.
Xiao Chen treated his injuries in the courtyard, thinking about the gains and losses of today's battle.
After the battle with Monarch Yu, Xiao Chen had a good estimate of his own strength.
With his strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to join any seventh-grade sect.
However, Monarch Yu was not considered a powerful expert of the dynasty's younger generation. He had not even joined a Rank 7 sect.
In terms of strength, Xiao Chen should still be a distance away from the core disciples of a Rank 7 sect.
However, the gap was already rather limited. Xiao Chen recalled that when he first entered the Great Thousand Realms, he was not even comparable to a Rank 3 sect disciple.
In just a few short years, he gained his current strength and accumulations to enter the Central Great Realm.
This was already very rare.
In this battle, Xiao Chen's greatest comprehension was that he now knew how mighty his peak move was.
After activating his Great Desolate Eon bloodline and using his Soul Energy to drive the God Shadow Bow, a Holy Venerate would die for sure if they were caught off guard.
The other was the purple saber Qi that Xiao Chen executed at the end. Dreamlike Mundane World.
Using a saber to create dreams, using a saber to enter a dream, using a dream as a saber, he could wield them freely.
The next step was to enter the dream and let this saber art penetrate deep into his bones and soul.
With a casual swing of his saber, he could send out the boundlessly strange purple saber Qi that seemed both real and fake at the same time.
As for its weakness, it was still in its cultivation.
Before this Monarch Yu joined a Rank 7 sect, he was already a late-stage Star Venerate. One could imagine how formidable the cultivation of the disciples of the seventh-grade sects were.
Actually, Xiao Chen's vision was too broad. Within the four great dynasties, Rank 7 sects were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, and their numbers were extremely few.
A seventh-grade sect was already standing at the peak of this world.
For an ordinary person, being able to join a Rank 6 sect was already extremely amazing. Xiao Chen could obtain a place for himself in the dynasty and make a name for himself in the entire Central Great Realm.
Furthermore, there was a limit to how many disciples a Rank 7 sect could recruit. Many of the Rank 6 sects were true inheritors. In reality, they weren't much weaker than the disciples of the Rank 7 sects.
"It's time to start cultivating the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art."
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
Xiao Chen's cultivation had already stagnated for some time. He needed to dual cultivate the Demonic and Martial Veritable Essence Energy to raise his cultivation.
Cultivating any one of them alone would not allow his cultivation to improve.
The Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art had a total of nine layers. Each layer was extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring vast resources and a corresponding Demonic Tribulation.
While cultivating, Xiao Chen also had to guard against the corrosion of Heart Demons, which was even harder to cultivate than the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
This was another challenge for Xiao Chen. It was also a difficulty that he had to face while dual cultivating the Demonic and Martial Veritable Essence Energy.
"During the Great Desolate Eon, ferocious beasts ran amok. The world was in chaos, and logic no longer existed. Only the strong could survive. Among the many ferocious beasts, there was a huge bird that could hold up the sky called the demonic cloud. At first, it was just a demonic cloud born in the primal chaos. Although it had the bloodline of a God Demon, it was still incredibly weak … "
The title page recorded the origins of the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.
This Cultivation Technique was born from the Demonic Cloud Bird, a Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast. After the Primal Chaos Demonic Scripture, the Demonic Dao's Primogenitor Grade Cultivation Technique, was lost, this Cultivation Technique became one of the top ten Demonic Dao Cultivation Techniques.
Ever since the Scarlet Blood Pirate King fell, this Cultivation Technique had not appeared for ten thousand years. Now, people knew very little about it.
Xiao Chen carefully read through the book, entering deep thought.
If one wanted to cultivate this Cultivation Technique, one had to condense a demonic cloud seed in one's body. Otherwise, one would not be able to cultivate it.
With this thought, Xiao Chen stood up and left the room. Then, he looked at the night sky.
After some thought, Xiao Chen soared into the air and soared up. After a while, he arrived in the clouds.
Condensing Demonic Clouds was not a difficult task in the Forbidden Sea.
However, in the Yanwu Dynasty, a nation ruled by the Righteous Dao, it was not easy.
The environment with Spiritual Energy was different.
The Spiritual Energy of the Yanwu Dynasty was astonishingly pure. There was practically no need to purposely temper it; the Spiritual Energy was already very dense.
From the moment one was born in the Yanwu Dynasty, one would have a higher Spiritual Energy than the people of the outside world.
"It is not enough. The clouds here are too thin. I have to find a place with exceptionally dense clouds. "
Xiao Chen casually grabbed a cloud and analyzed it for a while. Then, he looked higher.
"Whoosh!"
As Xiao Chen's figure continued upward, he slowly felt a huge pressure. An invisible might and pressure encased the entire dynasty's territory.
When Xiao Chen looked up, he seemed to see a huge, invisible dragon glaring at him.
It was the Imperial Dynasty's Dragon Luck that was protecting this ancient dynasty.
When it reached a certain point, it would offend the dynasty's might. Flying upward would become increasingly difficult.
However, Xiao Chen already saw an extremely dense cloud layer ten kilometers above. It was very suitable for condensing demonic clouds.
Xiao Chen released his Dragon Might and forced his way through, heading for that dense cloud. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
Xiao Chen's Dragon Might seemed very insignificant when compared to the dynasty's Luck. As the Dragon Might clashed, lightning tore through the sky, spreading in all directions.
The clouds below clashed, and thunder roared and lightning flashed, followed by heavy rain.
"I've arrived."
One hour later, Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief and entered that terrifyingly dense cloud layer.
The cloud layer was pitch-black; it was a terrifying thundercloud.
Xiao Chen could not even see his fingers. The extremely dense lightning-attributed energy within interfered with Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Chen could not send out his Soul Energy at all.
What Soul Energy feared the most was this kind of naturally-occurring lightning. With just a touch, Soul Energy would scatter.
Xiao Chen could only open his Heavenly Eye and barely explore the cloud layer, advancing carefully.
This thundercloud was unfathomably vast and boundless.
It was several times larger than the entire Soaring Dragon Marquisate, looking exceptionally startling.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a crystalline ferocious beast flickering with electric light appeared in front, flying towards Xiao Chen.
"Thunder Essence!"
Xiao Chen recognized this ferocious beast. It was a spirit born from a peak attribute. It happened to be a lightning-attributed spirit. It had a cruel nature, a fiery temper, and an extremely aggressive nature.
This was a hundred-year-old Thunder Essence with the strength of a Star Venerate. Its entire body was made of energy, which was exceptionally problematic for ordinary people to deal with.
However, Xiao Chen had his own methods. He took out the Wedding Funeral Bow and fired ten arrows before the Thunder Essence arrived.
Then, he infused the Heart Flame in the arrows and fired ten arrows in a row.
When the Thunder Essence was only one kilometer away from Xiao Chen, it finally crumbled, turning into bolts of lightning that looked like electric snakes slithering out.
It left behind a resplendent crystal floating in the clouds.
This crystal was known as a Thunder Crystal Rock. Its value varied according to the age of the Thunder Essence.
To lightning-attributed cultivators, it was very valuable. Experts specialized in hunting Thunder Essences in thunderclouds to obtain Thunder Crystals.
Xiao Chen casually put away this hundred-year-old Thunder Crystal Rock and continued forward.
As Zhang Xuan traveled further and further away, he encountered more and more Thunder Spirits. There were all kinds of Thunder Spirits.
Sometimes, they were snakes, sometimes huge trees, and sometimes humans. The only thing they had in common was that they were energy bodies.
After dealing with a batch of more than a hundred Thunder Essences, Xiao Chen stopped advancing. If he went any further, he would end up in danger, given his strength.
These thunderclouds were much more horrifying than he had imagined.
However, it was enough to stop here. He could absorb the cloud energy and condense demonic clouds.
Xiao Chen released the Demon Blood Vulture to protect him.
The Demon Blood Vulture screeched and hid in the clouds, flying around happily.
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Then, he lit up his 9-Star Primal Core. As Xiao Chen infused his demonic attributed Veritable Essence Energy into his hands, Xiao Chen continuously formed hand seals.
As Xiao Chen's hand seals changed, his demonic attributed Veritable Essence Energy drained continuously. A terrifying aura slowly spread out from his body.
This aura caused the clouds to churn, rising and falling like the waves of the sea.
Then, Xiao Chen formed the Heaven Swallowing Seal.
A huge Demonic Cloud Bird image appeared behind Xiao Chen. As the Heaven Swallowing Seal formed, the Demonic Cloud Bird opened its beak and sucked.
The demonic nature hidden in the unfathomably deep demonic clouds turned into thousands of tiny black lines that entered Xiao Chen's body.
Those black energy lines gave off a demonic glow. As they danced around, they stirred up demonic clouds.
The process of condensing demonic clouds went rather smoothly.
