In order to prevent the resurgence of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the Royal Court had been looking for an opportunity to make a move. Now, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was in trouble again.
The Qin Emperor decisively made a move, wanting to station a warship in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. This was like stabbing a sharp knife into the Heavenly Saber Pavilion; it could greatly restrict the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's development.
Jiang Chi's expression remained calm when he saw the golden warships firing on all cylinders. He said indifferently, "Nangong Lie, it looks like you really like to play with fire. In that case, I will play with you!"
Nangong Lie's eyelids sank. He thought to himself, Could it be that the Heavenly Saber Pavilion still has some trump cards?
Impossible, Nangong Lie shook his head and said indifferently, If they really had a trump card, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion would not have been reduced to rubble.
How could a great sect watch as their own sect was destroyed like that? Even if they had one, they would have used it already. After the consecutive battles, they probably did not have much combat prowess left.
Nangong Lie continued to smile indifferently, "Brother Jiang Chi, it was not my idea to station a warship in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. You should know whose idea it is. I hope you will not make things difficult for me."
Jiang Chi said indifferently, "In that case, get him to come and talk to me personally."
Before Nangong Lie could say anything, an adjutant at the side shouted, "How dare you speak to His Majesty like that? Is the emperor someone you can meet whenever you want?"
"How dare you speak to Elder Jiang Chi like that? Why are you still not apologizing to Elder Jiang?" Nangong Lie pretended to reprimand the adjutant. After that, he turned to Jiang Chi and smiled, "My subordinate did not know the rules. I will teach him a lesson for Brother Jiang later."
Jiang Chi's expression was very calm. His eyes did not change. He said indifferently, "There's no need. He is already dead."
Nangong Lie's expression changed. He looked to the side and saw a tiny wound on the adjutant's neck.
The faint wound looked negligible to the naked eye. The adjutant did not feel any pain; he did not even notice the wound on his neck.
"You want to take my life? You cannot do that," the adjutant said indifferently as he looked at Jiang Chi.
However, the adjutant saw shock in Nangong Lie's eyes. The adjutant turned his head to look suspiciously. However, he saw a headless corpse wearing golden Battle Armor standing behind him.
Why does this corpse look so familiar? The adjutant's last thought as his head flew into the air.
Bang!
Nangong Lie punched the air in front of him to his right. This punch was clearly in the air, but it produced a deafening sound. The huge battleship shook uncontrollably under the force of this punch.
The void shattered, and a blood-red figure emerged from the crack. He wore a ghostly mask with a faint smile on his face, and his right hand held a cold mask.
The scarlet figure gently floated and appeared at the top of the ship like a ghost.
When Nangong Lie saw this person, his expression turned grave for the first time. He exclaimed in shock, "Ximen Zhan, you are actually not dead yet."
Ximen Zhan was the previous commander of the Divine Saber Camp. Now, he was more than 190 years old. Before he went into seclusion, he was already a peak Medial Grade Martial Monarch.
Ximen smiled faintly, "Little brat Nangong, do you really wish for this old man to die?"
Boom boom boom!
From the east, south, west, and north, four powerful auras rose one after another. These auras soared into the sky, spreading out endlessly. They were all the auras of peak Superior Grade Martial Monarchs.
When Nangong Lie saw these people, his expression changed drastically. He muttered to himself, "Shen Manjun, the previous two Peak Masters of Jade Maiden Peak, Xiao Feng, the previous Peak Master of Qianduan Peak, Song Bai, the previous Peak Master of Biyun Peak, and Liu Xiaohe, the previous Peak Master of Gangyu Peak."
Not only were these people not dead, but their auras were also flourishing. Their Qi and blood surged. Clearly, they had not gone through a huge battle; they were all at their peak.
Among the four, a white figure slowly floated over. It was the Jade Maiden Peak's Shen Manjun.
Nangong Lie looked at the otherworldly Shen Manjun and did not dare to be impudent. Before he became famous, she had already become famous throughout the entire Great Qin Nation.
When Nangong Lie was young, he had even secretly worshipped Shen Manjun. Originally, he thought that she had died long ago. He did not expect her to appear before him in one piece.
"Nangong Lie, Jiang Chi said that the Qin Emperor cannot come personally. In that case, can I make the request?" Shen Manjun asked indifferently as she looked at Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie cried bitterly in his heart. He had not expected the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to have five Martial Monarchs in perfect condition. Furthermore, there was a Martial Monarch who was even more horrifying than him.
With the strength of the Imperial Dragon Legion, it was not impossible to defeat these people. However, the price they would have to pay would be too high.
Furthermore, the Qin Emperor did not intend to destroy the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. He only wanted to take advantage of the situation and suppress the other party's strength, taking things step by step.
It was not an all-out war with the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Starting a war with a sect would have too many implications. It would be hard to avoid the suspicions of the other two great sects.
Nangong Lie's expression kept changing. After a while, he slowly calmed down. He smiled gently and said, "Senior Shen, this is really just a misunderstanding. Since the Heavenly Saber Pavilion has resolved its crisis, the Imperial Dragon Legion has no intention of remaining."
After Nangong Lie spoke, he took out a row of wooden chests and said, "There are ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones here. Consider it compensation for the Imperial Dragon Legion for breaking the restrictions. Goodbye."
Jiang Chi received the wooden chests and felt humiliated in his heart. He wished he could smash the wooden chests into smithereens.
Shen Manjun, who was beside him, placed her hand gently on his shoulder. A gentle wave of Essence spread over, calming his agitated heart.
Jiang Chi quickly thanked her, "Many thanks, Ancestral Martial Aunt. Jiang Chi is useless, causing the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to be humiliated several times."
Shen Manjun smiled gently and said, "You have already done very well. Don't blame yourself. There is still hope for the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. The news of the Three Holy Masters should arrive tomorrow."
The ten Golden Warships of the Imperial Dragon Legion immediately turned around and left. Before the gazes of the experts of the Xihe Province, they slowly withdrew from the Lingyun Mountain Range.
He came and went in and out in a hurry. Many people scratched their heads as they watched, not knowing what was going on inside.
The Imperial Dragon Legion came out in full force. It was clear they wanted to take advantage of the situation. However, not long after they entered, they retreated safely. It did not seem like there was a dispute.
--- Halfway up Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen saw all this. He shook his head and thought to himself, In the end, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion has declined.
Although the Imperial Dragon Legion left behind ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones, they could come and go as they pleased. In the eyes of the world, it was easy to tell who was strong and who was weak.
Liu Ruyue looked at her ruined courtyard and shook her head. She smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Chen, I am homeless now."
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and smiled gently, "You can come to my place and stay for a while. There are still empty rooms in the courtyard. You can come back after the courtyard is repaired."
Liu Ruyue smiled and said, "It is settled, then. I will go to the summit to see my father first. I will see you tomorrow."
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He did not expect Liu Ruyue to agree so straightforwardly. Originally, he was just saying it casually. By the time he recovered his wits, Liu Ruyue had already gone far away.
Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile and shook his head slightly. Then, he quickly headed to his courtyard.
This unprecedented battle gave Xiao Chen a lot of thoughts. This was the first time he saw the true destructive power of a peak human cultivator.
The so-called splitting mountains, moving rivers, and draining seas were not just legends. In the past, he had only heard of it. Now that he saw it for himself, he truly felt the shock in his heart.
Furthermore, this was only the strength of a Martial Monarch. There was still the Martial Sage Emperor Wu. Just thinking about it made his blood boil.
I still have a long way to go. Sooner or later, I, Xiao Chen, will become such an expert.
No, I will be stronger than these people. I will rise to the heavens and reach the peak of cultivators. My name will be spread through the ages, just like the Tianwu Emperor from ten thousand years ago and the Thunder King from a thousand years ago.
Xiao Chen's emotions surged. He swore in his heart that he would definitely achieve this.
The sun was high up in the sky; the weather was pleasant; there were no clouds in the sky.
In a place with abundant Spiritual Energy in the back mountains of Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the ground. He slowly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
The purple Essence circulated quickly in his meridians, breaking through all the obstacles along the way. It was an endless cycle.
There were nine main meridians in a cultivator's body. When a cultivator condensed their Martial Spirit, they would instantly open up.
The nine main meridians were very important; they were the foundation of a cultivator's cultivation. The so-called "Essence circulating in the meridians" was actually a cycle in the nine main meridians.
After that, as a cultivator's cultivation realm increased, there would be new branch meridians outside of the main meridians. The number of branch meridians in the human body could be said to be as many as the stars in the sky. With every increase in cultivation realm, there would be many more branch meridians.
These branch meridians were the expansion of the main meridians. It was like the countless branches of a tree. The more branch meridians there were, the more flourishing the tree would be.
It was the same principle for cultivators. The more branch meridians there were, the more vigorous and surging the Essence in the body would be.
The so-called "Essence circulating in a great cycle" referred to the Essence circulating in the nine main meridians once before going to the various branch meridians and returning to the dantian.
It grew and multiplied endlessly, forming a virtuous cycle. After every cycle, the quality and quantity of Essence Qi would increase. This was the essence of cultivation.
However, Xiao Chen felt a headache over this branch meridian; he felt very depressed.
Not long ago, Xiao Chen relied on the rich Spiritual Energy of the Lingyun Mountain Range to finally reach the peak of the fifth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. Just as he was preparing to break through to the sixth layer …
Suddenly, he discovered that the branch meridians required to cultivate the sixth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation were not fully opened. Four of them were still sealed.
This way, the path of the sixth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation would be incomplete. There was no way to form a cycle, and he would not be able to cultivate the sixth layer.
Now, there were two solutions. The first was to temporarily give up on cultivating the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. He would wait until his cultivation realm increased and these branch meridians opened up before he attempted to break through.
In reality, most of the cultivators in this continent did the same. This was because many Cultivation Techniques had very strict requirements on cultivation realms.
Furthermore, the person who created the Cultivation Technique did not do it on purpose. Only when one reached the corresponding cultivation realm and cultivated the corresponding Cultivation Technique could the cycle progress gradually. It would not result in a situation of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm.
