"Whoosh!"
Before Xiao Chen, who was already a 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor, could continue searching for ten-thousand-year-old demonic fruits to break through, a strong force pulled him out of the black mountain.
An irresistible force pulled him out of the black mountain.
When Xiao Chen recovered his vision, he looked around and was surprised to discover that he had appeared at the summit of Spirit Vulture Mountain.
He had actually appeared at the peak of the Spirit Vulture Mountain, and right beside him was the golden body of the Kāśyapa Buddha, which was as tall as a mountain.
In comparison, Xiao Chen was as weak as an ant.
When Xiao Chen looked back, he saw Venerable Xu Yun and Abbot Xu Ye looking at Xiao Chen uneasily.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up like he understood something. After some thought, he said, "Seniors, this junior's time to leave the black mountain should not be up yet. If I remember correctly, there is still at least one more day."
Venerable Xu Yun said awkwardly, "That's right. Benefactor Xiao's time is not up yet."
"Then, why did you pull me out in advance?"
Xiao Chen felt very upset. If he had stayed another day, he would have broken through the 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor bottleneck and reached 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
Being forcefully pulled out of a bottleneck while being stuck at it was not a good feeling.
Abbot Xu Ye laughed, "Hahaha! Benefactor is joking. This is the saber manual that Benefactor wants. You have already passed the test. There is no need for you to remain on the black mountain. "
Right after Abbot Xu Ye spoke, he handed a jade strip to Xiao Chen without saying anything.
"This …"
Xiao Chen received the jade strip, feeling somewhat confused, not understanding its meaning.
"That's it, then. Benefactor, please leave the mountain. I'll leave the Azure Lotus Church's matters in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb to Benefactor Xiao. "
Before Xiao Chen could say anything, Venerable Xu Yun had already asked him to leave.
"But …"
Venerable Xu Yun supported Xiao Chen and smiled. "There are no buts. Don't you want the saber manual? I already gave it to you, so there are no buts. Come, I'll send Benefactor Xiao off. "
Without giving Xiao Chen a chance to speak, the two Buddhist sect powerhouses forcefully sent Xiao Chen out of Spirit Vulture Mountain.
After they left, they all heaved a sigh of relief, feeling extremely exhausted.
"How stupid. To think that he did not think of this. He dual cultivates Martial Dao and Demonic Dao. Entering the Black Mountain is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. If we let him stay here for a moment longer, the balance of good and evil will be lost. I really don't know what kind of disaster it will cause. "
Venerable Xu Yun sighed softly as he looked at the Auspicious Signs in the sky above Spirit Vulture Mountain slowly mending.
A trace of doubt appeared in Abbot Xu Ye's eyes. He asked, "Junior Brother, have you ever thought about why the two of us made such a mistake?"
"That's right. With our intelligence, logically speaking, we should have noticed this."
Leaving out such a huge piece of information might be excusable for others, but anyone with a meticulous mind would make mistakes.
However, to Xu Yun and Xu Ye, this was not right. The two of them were Faux God Realm cultivators.
Everything, no matter how big or small, would be imprinted in his mind. It was impossible for him to miss the information about Xiao Chen's demonic arts.
Suddenly, horror flashed in Venerable Xu Yun's eyes. He said sullenly, "Could it be that he already broke the shackles of dual cultivating Martial Dao and Demonic Dao, causing us to forget that he cultivated a demonic Cultivation Technique?"
"Dual cultivating Martial Dao and Demonic Dao gets harder the further one goes. It is a dead end. Even the Kāśyapa Buddha gave up on his Demonic Dao and Demonic Dao the moment he became a Buddha. Since ancient times, no one has been able to completely merge Martial Dao and Demonic Dao … "
Abbot Xu Ye said softly, "If that is really the case, then it is somewhat terrifying … A person who can completely merge Martial Dao and Demonic Dao is equivalent to breaking the shackles of the entire Martial Epoch. It looks like the Martial Epoch is truly at its end. Signs of it are appearing one after another. "
The two Buddhist sect Faux God powerhouses appeared somewhat worried, showing grave expressions.
Xiao Chen, who had already descended the mountain, felt confused as he held the jade strip in his hand. Why did they give me the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique's saber manual for nothing? These two should not be that kind.
If they really wanted to give me the saber manual, Abbot Xu Ye would not have let Xiao Chen risk his life in the Dark World from the start.
Clearly, Abbot Xu Ye was trying to put on a show. It was not that I did not want to give you the saber manual. I gave you the opportunity, but you did not fight for it. You cannot blame me.
However, when Xiao Chen's cultivation advanced rapidly on the black peak, he nearly forgot about the saber manual.
The two forcefully pulled him out and stuffed him with the saber manual. Then, they chased him down the mountain without any explanation.
"Strange."
Xiao Chen shook his head and stopped thinking.
Although he did not break through the 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor bottleneck in the end, he gained a fortuitous encounter for no reason. This allowed his cultivation to reach peak 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor and obtained a saber manual.
No matter what, Xiao Chen gained a lot from this trip to the Hidden Spirit Temple.
"It is time to return to the Misty Rain Pavilion. It has been less than half a month. I wonder what happened to these people after that huge commotion?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he prepared to rush back to the Misty Rain Pavilion.
Just at this moment, a figure flickered endlessly in the air before landing firmly in front of Xiao Chen.
"Benefactor Xiao, how have you been?"
The person who arrived turned around. It was the mysterious Yuan Zhen that Xiao Chen had not seen for a long time.
According to Xu Yun and Xu Ye, they did not know that Yuan Zhen already had an Ethereal Immortal Palace key.
This person … was somewhat mysterious.
"I'm fine. Brother Yuan Zhen, why are you here?"
Xiao Chen replied casually. However, he kept his guard up and spread out his Spiritual Sense in all directions.
"Haha! Brother Xiao, there is no need to be so nervous. No one below Spirit Vulture Mountain dares to touch Benefactor Xiao. Furthermore, everyone in the imperial capital knows that you are the Ninth Prince's guest. Who would dare to touch you? "
Yuan Zhen said softly with narrowed eyes.
Xiao Chen felt excited. The competition for the princes' guests should have reached its most intense stage in the past half a month.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince took the initiative to announce that Xiao Chen was his guest.
"Brother Yuan Zhen, there is no need to worry. I am just cautious by nature. However, as far as I know, the Hidden Spirit Temple disciples cannot become the princes' guests. Why is Brother Yuan Zhen so concerned about the succession race? "
Xiao Chen probed, wanting to see if he could glean something from Yuan Zhen's expression.
Yuan Zhen did not appear surprised when he heard that. "It looks like Brother Xiao learned a lot on this trip to the Hidden Spirit Temple. Indeed, the Hidden Spirit Temple disciples cannot become guests. However, the succession race is now the focus of the entire city. Nearly all the Sovereign Emperors under five hundred years old in the entire Great Thousand Realms have gathered in Yan City. I know about this. "
At this point, Yuan Zhen paused for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, there might be some trouble when you return. Right now, the competition for the position of a prince's guest is rather scary."
"Many thanks for the reminder. How are my friends in the Misty Rain Pavilion doing?"
The other party seemed to know a lot. So, Xiao Chen asked about the things that he was more concerned about.
"After the wedding, the First Prince was unable to recover, and his momentum plummeted. Now, the three princes are back at the starting line. Now, they are busy with the succession race and cannot care about anything else. Furthermore, everyone saw the relationship between the Sword God and Pavilion Master Su. Who would dare to touch the Misty Rain Pavilion? "
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. That's good.
"However, after saying so much, why are you here?"
"Me?"
Yuan Zhen replied softly, "I'm just here to see you. I want to know how much your strength has improved since you left the Dark World."
"In the end?"
"It looks like you crossed that sea and ascended the black peak. Otherwise, your strength would not have improved in such a short time."
A bright light flickered in the depths of Yuan Zhen's eyes. He keenly noticed Xiao Chen's improvement.
"You seem to understand a lot about the Dark World," Xiao Chen said, not denying it.
"If we were to become enemies one day, would you kill me?" Yuan Zhen suddenly changed the topic and asked this question.
Xiao Chen glanced at the other party and replied calmly, "I will."
"In that case, I can rest assured, because … I will as well. Please don't show mercy."
Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a smile on his face. Xiao Chen could not tell if he was sad or happy.
"Take care. I won't send you off."
Yuan Zhen pressed his palms together and bowed slightly. Then, he turned and left.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After speaking for so long, what Yuan Zhen truly wanted to ask should be the last question.
It looks like the other party will most likely enter the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
However, why does this feel somewhat strange?
If they really become enemies, why did Yuan Zhen ask this? This was equivalent to reminding Xiao Chen. You have to be careful. The next time we meet, I will kill you.
"This person … is really a mystery."
Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed softly. Since the first time he met this person, he had never truly figured out the other party. ---
Before the sky turned dark, Xiao Chen returned to the Misty Rain Pavilion.
Although he had expected that Chu Chaoyun, Ao Jiao, and the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter had already left, he still felt it was unfortunate.
When Su Ye learned that Xiao Chen had returned, she rushed over. After some thought, she said, "Xiao Chen, the Heavenly Book Scholar has been waiting for you for seven days already."
"Alright, I'll go and meet him."
What a fellow! He is really patient. To think that he waited for seven days.
