Liu Suifeng rushed over quickly. When he saw Kim Tae-ho smiling at Xiao Chen, he was astonished. He had not expected the incredibly difficult Kim Tae-ho to reveal such an expression.
Up in the sky, on a floating cloud, Yue Mingshan frowned slightly. He said, "I can already confirm that he does not have an inherited Martial Spirit. However, he is actually mingling with the people of the Golden Roc Merchant Association. It looks like I can only find another opportunity to make a move."
Inside the luxurious carriage, Xiao Chen and Kim Tae-ho each sat at a table. Compared to the decorations outside, the interior of this luxurious carriage was much simpler.
As the carriage moved quickly, it was very stable. Xiao Chen, who was seated inside, did not feel any bumps.
Kim Tae-ho glanced at Bai, who was seated beside him. He smiled and said, "This Bai is becoming more and more adorable."
"Pu ci!"
Kim Tae-ho was just about to stretch out his hand to rub Bai's head. However, before he could touch it, Bai's claws scratched him. He said in astonishment, "You are still so ruthless. Fortunately, this Fat Lord's skin is tough, so I am fine."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and asked, "How is your investigation of the Tianwu Emperor's Tomb?"
Xiao Chen had always been very curious about the Tianwu Emperor's Tomb in the Ancient Remnant. However, he did not have the time to investigate. Now that he coincidentally met Kim Tae-ho, naturally, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Kim Tae-ho withdrew his smile and shook his head, "There is no useful information. I can only confirm that the corpse of the last Tianwu Emperor was indeed taken away by Chu Chaoyun. After that, Chu Chaoyun has been in closed-door cultivation in the Misty Sword Sect. He only came out recently."
Xiao Chen's expression turned grave. Honestly speaking, he had been out for a long time and had rarely suffered a loss. However, he had suffered more than once at the hands of Chu Chaoyun.
He was very afraid of this person, so he wanted to find out more about him. He continued to ask, "How is his cultivation now? Do you have a specific reference?"
Kim Tae-ho said, "I have not seen it personally, but it is probably a peak Superior Grade Martial Saint at the very least. That golden coffin would definitely help a cultivator cultivate faster."
To be able to cultivate so quickly while lying in a coffin was a little strange.
Xiao Chen asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Fatso chuckled and said, "Don't forget, your Lord Fatty also snatched a coffin lid. After studying it for such a long time, I can confirm this conclusion."
Xiao Chen had a deep impression of the golden coffin lid just now. When he waved it, it seemed ordinary, but his Divine Sense sensed that the space around him seemed to be fluctuating.
As he waved his hand, he seemed to shatter the void, forming an immature little world.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and asked sullenly, "Did Chu Chaoyun obtain the Heavenly Flame inherited by the Tianwu Emperor?"
This was the question that concerned Xiao Chen the most. Although the inherited Heavenly Flame was only a tenth of the original, its might was still very horrifying. If he could completely grasp it, it would be even stronger than Xiao Chen's Purple Thunder True Fire.
Xiao Chen was not afraid of Chu Chaoyun's cultivation being higher than his. As long as it was not an entire cultivation realm higher, he would not fear a peak Martial Saint with his combat prowess.
However, if Chu Chaoyun grasped the Heavenly Flame, he would be feared. His innate Martial Technique, Cultivation Technique, and Martial Spirit were all at the peak of the same generation.
If Chu Chaoyun completely grasped the Heavenly Flame, he would be unrivaled among Martial Saints.
Kim Tae-ho had a grave expression as he said, "Prepare yourself for the worst. I estimate that he can use at least a quarter of that tenth of the Heavenly Flame. Furthermore, he should have obtained the inherited Martial Technique of the Tianwu Dynasty, the Life-Extinguishing Blood-Reversing Swordplay."
If it were in the past, Xiao Chen might have doubted Fatso's words. However, after knowing that he was the Young Master of the Golden Roc Merchant Association, he was certain of it.
In terms of intelligence, even the Royal Courts of the various nations would not be as comprehensive as these merchant associations. When doing business, information was always the most important thing.
Suddenly, Kim Tae-ho thought of something and said, "That's right, you should be going to Xihe City to participate in the Linlang Pavilion's auction, right? Chu Chaoyun will be participating as well. You might run into him."
Chu Chaoyun was going to participate in the auction as well. Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had a vague feeling that this auction might be more complicated than he imagined.
Xiao Chen cupped his hands to Fatso and said, "Thank you. I will be careful and try to avoid him."
Fatso laughed loudly, "What are you thanking me for? What kind of relationship do we have? Furthermore, let me tell you some news. The strength of your old opponents have increased by leaps and bounds.
"Duanmuqing has already practiced the Profound Ice Incantation to the ninth layer. Her strength is even more horrifying. Just looking at her now makes me feel like I have fallen into an ice cave.
"Hua Yunfei's Martial Spirit has already undergone a deep awakening. He has already practiced the Blood Shadow Sword Technique to Great Perfection. His entire person has become incomparably evil; it is very strange.
"Of course, the most horrifying ones are not these two but the Guiyi Marquis and Ji Changkong. In terms of gains, their gains in the Ancient Remnant are probably second only to Chu Chaoyun. "
Xiao Chen felt suspicious and asked, "What do you mean? Our gains are not small, right? Could it be that their gains are even greater than ours? "
Fatso smiled in disdain, "Our gains are nothing. Let's talk about the Guiyi Marquis first. This brat obtained the Tianwu Dynasty's inherited Holy Weapon, the Sky Splitting Sword.
"Originally, I thought it was just a Holy Weapon with an incomplete Dao. It was not a big deal. After all, although such incomplete Holy Weapons are rare, they are not particularly precious.
"However, now I know that this brat is really lucky. That Sky Splitting Sword has been passed down from the first Tianwu Emperor until now. The Dao of that Heaven Splitting Sword is actually complete. It only lost some in the past thousand years. After ten years, it will be completely restored."
The so-called Holy Weapon referred to the weapons used by the Sages of the Ancient Era. At that time, the cultivation realms of cultivators were different from now.
The difference between the Ancient Era's Sages and the current Martial Sages was huge. In terms of strength, the Ancient Era's Sages were equivalent to the current Emperor Wu. The current Martial Sages were nothing in front of the Ancient Era's Sages.
The classification of weapons at that time was also different from the current one. There was no such thing as Heaven, Earth, Profound, or Yellow Spirit Weapons.
The Sages had already seen a trace of the Heavenly Dao. Every move they made could affect the laws of heaven and earth. As for the weapons they used, under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth, they would slowly gain a trace of the Dao.
After these weapons were passed down, after ten thousand years, although the Dao became incomplete, the essence of the weapon was not damaged at all.
When a cultivator used a Holy Weapon, they could use these incomplete Dao to change the laws of heaven and earth when they made a move. They could achieve an unimaginable effect in battle.
However, because the Dao was incomplete, it was very difficult to truly change the laws of heaven and earth. There would be situations where it would be ineffective at times.
Being able to succeed once out of ten times was already pretty good. However, if it was a Holy Weapon with a complete Dao, it would be a different story. One could achieve a success rate of five out of ten times.
If one could comprehend the Dao, they would be able to change the laws of heaven and earth every time they made a move. This would raise the cultivator's strength to a horrifying level.
Jin Fatso took a sip of tea and continued, "As for Ji Changkong, his luck is even better. That brat's talent is too high. He has already comprehended eighty to ninety percent of that Sage Dao Comprehension Painting. Every time he makes a move, there is a faint trace of the Dao circulating around it. It is even more effective than a Holy Weapon. "
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and did not say anything. This was the so-called fortuitous encounter. Although fortuitous encounters were vague and illusory, they were a kind of great Luck. They truly existed in this world.
Although it was a fortuitous encounter, some people gained nothing. They were even fed to Spirit Beasts and died without a burial. However, some people gained many things. Their strength advanced by leaps and bounds, standing out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
These were all people with great Luck. Many experts in history had such encounters. The cultivators of the same generation as them all became their stepping stones. However, their names were passed down for eternity.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Two years from now, I have to defeat all these people. Otherwise, I will never be able to compete with them in terms of Luck.
Even if I have a fortuitous encounter in the future, without great Luck, I will not gain much. In the long run, I will become a stepping stone for others.
Xiao Chen thought of something and said, "From your tone earlier, it seems like you are not going to the Xihe Province's auction."
Kim Tae-ho nodded and said, "I have seen many auctions and can't be bothered to go. If I really want to find a peak treasure, I would have to go to the underground auction in the Ancient Desolate Land. There is also the peak auction in the Great Jin Nation. That is the true grand scene. Let me tell you, that scene …"
Seeing that Fatso was about to continue showing off, Xiao Chen knew that he would not stop. He quickly stopped him and said, "Stop right there. There is no need to discuss this. Since you are not going to Xihe City, could it be that you are really transporting goods through the Black Dragon River to another nation?"
Earlier, Xiao Chen had taken some time to use his Spiritual Sense to scan Fatso's gold boxes. In the end, he discovered that they were all empty; there was nothing inside.
Although the fatty had a lot of spatial rings, it was still not enough to transport the goods. Regular spatial rings were only a few dozen square meters. It was impossible for them to transport large amounts of goods.
As for the peak spatial rings, not to mention the scarcity of them, even the peak spatial rings were only a few hundred square meters. They would not be able to transport large amounts of goods.
Hence, when Fatso said that he was not going to Xihe City, Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised. If he was not transporting goods or going to an auction, why did Fatso come to the Devil Savanna?
Fatso smiled and said, "Of course, it is impossible to transport goods. I have not participated in the trade route of the Devil Savanna yet, so I cannot take this route for now. The purpose of my trip here is for a legend regarding the treasure of the Devil Savanna. "
Legend? Xiao Chen laughed hoarsely and said, "You purposely came to the Devil Savanna just for a legend? Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? You can't go so far, right?"
Fatso said, "Naturally, there is some basis for it. In the past, there was a group of bandits on this Devil Savanna that made people tremble with fear. The strength of the leader of the bandits was unfathomable. Later on, he was probably a Martial Sage at the very least. If one wanted to travel through this merchant association, one would have to pay him a toll. "
