Xiao Chen raised his hand and flicked his finger.
The gray-clad 9-Vein Sovereign Emperor Doyen instantly lost, a clean defeat.
Such a scene elicited wild joy from Mu Zifeng and Suiren Ji's shock.
Although this gray-clad Doyen was not particularly strong among the 9-Vein Sovereign Emperors, he was still a bona fide 9-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
However, Xiao Chen was a bona fide 9-Vein Sovereign Emperor who had accumulated his Divine Energy for many years. However, he still got defeated in one move.
"Xiao Chen, how did you do it?"
Mu Zifeng and the other Doyens asked out of curiosity.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and replied, "I just figured out some problems, understood my Dao, and found the path I want to take."
For the past eight years, Xiao Chen had been thinking hard about where his path should be.
Immortal Cultivation and Martial Dual Cultivation, Divine and Demon as One, and a Buddhist heart. All these things were hard to separate.
Compared to raising his cultivation and absorbing resources, Xiao Chen paid more attention to the Dao he wanted to take.
How to control it, how to merge it, how to look at his heart, and how to make his thoughts clear?
Xiao Chen was very clear that if he did not understand, no matter how high his cultivation was, he would not be able to jump out of his current shackles. If he could not break through the bottleneck of the Martial Epoch, he would always have to live in the shadows of his predecessors, unable to be himself.
Eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen finally understood. His Dao, his path, his original heart, everything, everything, everything, came from the saber in his heart that had never been sealed.
Xiao Chen was a bladesman. No matter how long it took, no matter how many Immortals, demons, gods, or Buddhas passed, this would never change.
After thinking it through, Xiao Chen suddenly saw the light. Then, he used the saber to suppress the Immortals, demons, gods, and Buddhas in his heart.
Although it was called suppression, it was actually merging and absorbing them, mastering them, and taking the path to his heart.
After comprehending the Dao, the world suddenly became clear.
In one breath, Xiao Chen absorbed all the resources of Heavenly Divine Mountain into the saber in his heart.
"What exactly is your cultivation now?"
Mu Zifeng was more concerned about this. Xiao Chen had revealed too little strength, so it was better to have an idea.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything. After a while, he said softly, "The level of cultivation isn't important. Once the epoch collapses, all the rules will be broken, including the division of cultivation levels. At that time, who will truly be able to establish an epoch will depend on one's understanding of the Dao, the world, and one's own heart. "
"What do you mean?"
The moment Xiao Chen said that, Mu Zifeng and the other Doyens exchanged looks, not really understanding.
"It's fine. With my current strength, I should be able to fight anyone below the Empty God Realm."
Seeing that the other party did not really understand what he was talking about, Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. He could only say something practical.
When Mu Zifeng and the others heard this, they all laughed. This made it much easier to understand.
According to Xiao Chen's humble character, he was at the highest level below the Faux God Realm.
"Get some rest. Jiang He is here anyway, and you could ask him about what happened in the outside world while you were in seclusion. We'll be on our way."
After experiencing Xiao Chen's strength, Mu Zifeng and the other Heavenly Alliance upper echelon left in satisfaction.
He did not care about the collapse of the Heavenly God Mountain at all.
"Congratulations!"
Jiang He said with a smile as he strolled over.
"Many thanks."
Xiao Chen sized up Jiang He with a few glances and sensed the other party's ethereal air, as well as the deep and distant eyes that looked like the boundless Starry Heavens.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. After some thought, he asked, "You became a Heaven Dragon?"
"Yes. However, although I became a Heaven Dragon, my cultivation did not increase by much. I cannot compare to you."
Jiang He smiled faintly, not showing much joy.
"Is that so? That might not be the case. When the Martial Epoch is destroyed, the various rules of the Martial Epoch might be destroyed along with it. At that time, we might no longer be able to judge a person's strength based on their cultivation. "
"What do you mean? You were right about that earlier. That group of Doyens said it too. "
Jiang He showed a confused expression. He felt that Xiao Chen did not seem to be joking.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before explaining, "This is just my guess. When the Martial Epoch is destroyed, the rules of the Martial Epoch, like the division of cultivation realms, will be destroyed as well. At that time, before the new epoch appears, how much strength one can bring out will depend on one's understanding of one's Dao, not just one's cultivation. "
"Ah …"
Jiang He had never heard of such a theory before. When he suddenly heard it, he felt greatly startled.
Xiao Chen said softly, "Let's not talk about this for now. While I was in closed-door cultivation, did the Faux God war in the Yanwu Dynasty come to an end?"
Xiao Chen had been in the Nine Heavens Origin Gathering Formation for about eight years. Eight or nine months should have passed in the outside world.
Logically speaking, the results of the Faux God war in the Yanwu Dynasty should have come to an end already.
Jiang He nodded and said, "I was just about to talk to you about this."
"I'd like to hear the details."
"I'm not very sure about the process of the Faux God war. However, after that battle, the factions of the Underworld God Hall and the Demonic Dao Hall withdrew from the imperial capital Yan City. All the factions belonging to the imperial ancestral temple in the palace have been cleared out. Now, Wang Yan has inherited the throne and is the new Yan Emperor. "
After a pause, Jiang He continued, "However, things are far from over. The Demonic Dao Hall and the Underworld God Hall have already launched a large-scale invasion of the Yanwu Dynasty. Right now, the flames of war raged everywhere in the Yanwu Dynasty. There was also a new Buddhist sect that appeared everywhere, bewitching the masses. They revered the ancient Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva as the Buddha, gaining countless believers. It shows signs of overtaking the Hidden Spirit Temple. Its development speed is incredible. "
Xiao Chen thought to himself, It looks like the shattering of the Kāśyapa Buddha's golden body has something to do with Yuan Zhen.
"How is the Hidden Spirit Temple now?"
"It's very difficult … The shattering of the Golden Body of the Buddha caused them to lose many believers. Now, there's a young monk called Yan Chen who goes around preaching and forming an alliance with the imperial family. We're mutually dependent. "
If that was the case, then the battle between Faux Gods that day must have been extremely intense.
Pan Huang and Sword God Su Hanshan should have worked together to defeat the Demonic Dao Hall and the Underworld God Hall. However, they could no longer support the Yanwu Dynasty.
The entire dynasty was in a precarious situation, becoming the most chaotic place before the epoch changed.
"Oh, right. There's something else I have to tell you."
Jiang He looked around cautiously. Then, he sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen felt enlightened, but his expression did not change much.
"That's normal. I have not done anything for eight years. It is hard for them to not get anxious. After all, he's staked everything on me … "
Xiao Chen appeared rather calm about Jiang He's secret, replying in a relaxed manner.
"That's good. I was thinking the same thing. Before this, I was still hesitating, afraid that you would overthink it. Now, it looks like I was overthinking. "
Jiang He sized up Xiao Chen and found that he could not figure out the other party.
It was like Jiang He and the others were still in a cage, but Xiao Chen had already jumped out.
"How is the situation in the Divine Dragon Empire? I would like to take some time to go over. It is time to resolve some grudges. "
Jiang He's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Are you sure?"
While Xiao Chen spoke casually, Jiang He knew that once Xiao Chen went, there would be a bloody storm.
"I'm sure. Tell me, then."
Xiao Chen knew that Jiang He had been thinking of returning to the Divine Dragon Empire. He had designs on the Dragon Emperor position and had been paying attention at all times.
"Qin Ming stood out among the outstanding bloodline talents of the eight great empires and obtained the full support of the Bushin Palace. He came out of closed-door cultivation before you and is a 9-Vein Sovereign Emperor. Now, he shakes the Dragon Race with his might. The Purple Gold Dragon Emperor intends to bring forward the Dragon Emperor selection. "
Helplessness flashed in Jiang He's eyes as he said, "However, with Qin Ming's current cultivation, even if the other Divine Dragon disciples work together, they will not be able to defeat him. The competition to become the Dragon Emperor is just a ceremony for him to crown the Dragon Emperor. "
"Is that so?"
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face as he said softly, "It will not be that easy. Remember to tell me when you return to the Divine Dragon Empire."
"Xiao Chen, will you vie for the Dragon Emperor position as well?"
Jiang He felt somewhat conflicted in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Although you saved my life, if you vie for the Dragon Emperor position, I … I'll probably have to fight you to the end and not back down."
Xiao Chen did not deny it, not answering directly. He smiled and said, "There's no need to feel conflicted. I never use morals to coerce others. If you do your best to vie for the Dragon Emperor position, I will definitely support you. I have to go and meet the others. Thank you for telling me so much. "
"What does that mean?"
Jiang He remained in front of the rubble of Heavenly Divine Mountain, frowning heavily as he pondered Xiao Chen's words.
"Sorry, I have to vie for the Dragon Emperor position. I can only repay the debt of saving my life in the future. "
Even after a long time, Jiang He still could not figure out Xiao Chen's words. So, he shook his head and chose to leave. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Xiao Chen continuously traveled through the vast and boundless Heavenly Alliance's headquarters, appearing like a flash of light and shadow, leaving no traces.
After a while, he appeared outside Ao Jiao's room. However, he discovered that Ao Jiao had already left.
"She returned to the Golden Crow Empire."
Mo Chen and Su Ye, who were in the same courtyard, came out. After chatting for a long time, they informed Xiao Chen of Ao Jiao's whereabouts.
She already left?
That's good. I should make a trip to the Golden Crow Empire.
