Thunder King Valley was not private territory. No one had the right to stop others from comprehending it and monopolize it for themselves.
In the continent, Martial Monarchs were the peak combat prowess. No matter where they went, they would be respected by tens of thousands of people.
However, there were too few Martial Monarchs. The Great Qin Nation had a population of more than a hundred million. Even if all the Martial Monarchs were added together, there would not be more than fifty.
Some powers wanted to find guest elders but could not find Martial Monarchs. They could only settle for the next best thing, finding half-step Martial Monarchs.
Before the age of geniuses, half-step Martial Monarchs were the peak combat prowess of a nation when Martial Monarchs did not appear.
Half-step Martial Monarchs enjoyed an extremely noble and glorious status. They would be treated with respect wherever they went. This was how the old men in Thunder King Valley lived.
Hence, when they saw Xiao Chen, they immediately put on the airs of a senior and told him to wait for half a year.
They did not know that the times had changed. In this age of geniuses, half-step Martial Monarchs were nothing.
The strongest half-step Martial Monarch, the Bloody Bladesman Sun Guangquan, could see very clearly. He knew that this was an age of geniuses.
Only by continuously strengthening oneself could one not be eliminated by the times. Living in the glory of the past would only make one a stepping stone for geniuses.
The boundless will of thunder in the sky had not appeared yet. Xiao Chen found a place and sat down cross-legged. Then, he closed his eyes and started comprehending.
The lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy here was very active. Occasionally, one could see electricity leaping about in the air.
It was hard to imagine that a bolt of thunder from thousands of years ago could remain here until now, its sharpness not diminishing.
The Thunder King was the strongest Emperor Wu of the previous age. As for how strong he was, the current Xiao Chen did not dare to guess.
The higher one's cultivation realm, the greater the reverence in one's heart.
In the past, Xiao Chen did not understand. He thought that the Thunder King's strength was at most capable of splitting mountains and overturning rivers and seas.
However, now that he could split mountains and overturn rivers and seas, Xiao Chen could barely do that. How could the Thunder King be so strong?
Only by reaching that realm would one be able to feel the scenery above the peak. In this Thunder King Valley, Xiao Chen's martial arts heart had unknowingly become firmer.
Up, up, with dreams in his heart, he kept going up. One day, the world would give birth to a Thunder King Valley for him, Xiao Chen.
His brilliance and his will would be the same as the Thunder King's. Even if ten thousand years passed, it would not be worn down by time, and its sharpness would never be extinguished.
Four hours later, thunder roared. Xiao Chen, who had his eyes closed, opened them and muttered, "It's coming!"
Amidst the rolling dark clouds in the sky, a golden bolt of lightning was hidden within, floating around continuously.
The entire peak was dyed with a solemn atmosphere, causing people to not even dare to breathe loudly. The pressure in their hearts suddenly shook, as if there was a mountain pressing down on their chests.
Occasionally, a golden light would pierce through the dark clouds. Suddenly, a malevolent golden bolt of lightning was formed between the heavens and the earth, splitting the void in half.
"Weng!
Weng! "The Lunar Shadow Saber by Xiao Chen's hand trembled continuously, as if it would be drawn at any moment; it was clearly very excited.
The vast golden will of thunder in the dark clouds stopped above Xiao Chen's head, circling around continuously.
When Xiao Chen felt the energy in the lightning, he thought to himself, What a strong will of thunder! There is only a difference of one word between a state and a will, but the aura they bring is completely different.
It looks like this will of thunder knows who I am and is trying to help me.
If others wanted to comprehend it, they would only have a chance to do so in the instant the lightning flashed. However, it stopped above my head, allowing me to feel its might at all times.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes again. This time, he did not have any other thoughts. He sank his consciousness into it and slowly unleashed the state of thunder.
Time passed slowly. Under the guidance of the will of thunder, Xiao Chen's understanding of thunder deepened.
At some point in time, Xiao Chen's body gave off beams of purple light. These purple lights were all flickering electricity.
Xiao Chen entered an extremely wondrous state. His entire consciousness seemed to be in a world of lightning. Some strange and wondrous thoughts flowed out like a river.
This allowed Xiao Chen's understanding of thunder to reach an unprecedented height. The purple lightning drifting around him crackled continuously.
Three days later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes again. Electricity flickered in the depths of his eyes, making them look very spirited.
When Xiao Chen looked up, he saw that the will of thunder in the sky had already hidden away, returning to an unknown place.
Xiao Chen stood up. With a thought, he casually waved his hand, and a malevolent bolt of lightning flew out from his palm, illuminating the sky with resplendent light.
Just as the electric light was about to disappear, Xiao Chen waved his right hand, and that bolt of lightning strangely returned to Xiao Chen's palm.
"I can withdraw and withdraw it as I please. I have already comprehended the state of thunder to its limits. I am just one step shy of becoming the will of thunder. However, that is something for me to consider after I advance to Martial Monarch. There is no need to think about it for now. "
Xiao Chen sighed softly, "In such a short period of time, I have already gained so much. No wonder even a Martial Sage had designs on this will of thunder.
"Not to mention how useful it is to me, just by placing it in the sect, it would be able to create several experts with the state of thunder."
Since this matter is over, it is time to return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. With my current strength, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion should not stop me from entering.
During the battle at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Xiao Chen had killed the Biyun Peak's Peak Master, Song Que. According to the sect rules, no matter the reason, if a disciple killed a Peak Master, he had to die.
The First Elder, Jiang Chi, spared Xiao Chen's life. However, he made Xiao Chen swear never to step into the Heavenly Saber Pavilion again.
Xiao Chen was very grateful to this First Elder. Back at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, if he had not suppressed those Noble Clan elders, he would have died long ago.
Although the First Elder chased Xiao Chen out of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, in reality, he was still helping Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen leaped into the air and landed on the Black Dragon River in the middle of the gorge. If he followed the Black Dragon River and leaped over the fork to the Ancient Desolate Land, he would enter the territory of the Great Qin Nation.
"Hey!"
Just as Xiao Chen landed on the river, he heard a soft exclamation. When he turned his head to take a look, his lips could not help but curl up into a smile.
Shi Feng, wearing black leather armor and a mask that covered half her face, actually appeared in the gorge.
Shi Feng raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Brother with a bad sense of direction, are you not afraid of falling to your death after jumping from such a high place?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Sorry to disappoint you. Even if I were twice as high, I would not die. Have you not taken off your mask yet? It looks like you did not succeed in your experiential training this time! "
Shi Feng said unhappily, "It is none of your business."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and took out a wooden box from the Universe Ring. Then, he tossed it to Shi Feng and said, "Bring this item to your adoptive father. Tell him it is a gift from an old friend."
"What is this?!"
Xiao Chen said calmly, "To you and me, it is just a pile of scrap metal."
Shi Feng caught the wooden shavings in her hand and looked suspiciously at Xiao Chen. She said, "Why do I have to help you bring it over?"
"Ka ca!"
Right after Shi Feng spoke, Xiao Chen drew his Lunar Shadow Saber at lightning speed. A sharp saber light flashed.
The mask on her face was split in half. With a 'clang' sound, it landed on the surface of the river, revealing a beautiful face.
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "There is no need to thank me. Just take it as a thank you gift for helping me deliver this. By the way, you are very beautiful. There is really no need to wear a mask all day.
"Fighting and killing is a matter for boys. Don't listen to your bastard adoptive father's words about controlling one's expression when fighting."
As Shi Feng watched Xiao Chen leave, she stood on the water in a daze. She did not recover her wits for a long time.
The mask that had followed her for more than ten years was actually taken off by someone just like that.
The expression in Shi Feng's eyes slowly calmed down from the initial rage. She lowered her head and looked at her face in the water. Then, she said softly, "You egomaniac. What do you mean by fighting is a matter for boys in the end? Sooner or later, I will defeat you."
In the Xihe Province of the Great Qin Nation, at the foot of the Lianyun Mountain Range, the famous Saber City was bustling with people as usual.
The cultivators that passed by either carried large sabers on their backs or had sabers hanging from their waists. All of them had solemn expressions as they arrived at this holy land for bladesmen.
In front of the city gate, a white-clothed youth with a slender saber at his waist stood straight at the foot of the city gate. His handsome and delicate face revealed a somewhat melancholic expression.
"Two years, two years. I, Xiao Chen, have returned to this place."
Originally, it would take two months to travel from Thunder King Valley to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. However, with Xiao Chen rushing nonstop, he managed to shorten the time by more than half. He arrived in half a month.
As he rushed, the closer he got, the more nervous Xiao Chen felt.
For the past two years, he had buried his feelings for his lover in his heart. He did not think about it or ask about it.
However, because he was not strong enough, he could not return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. If he kept thinking about it, he would only feel bitterness and nothing else.
If he wanted to meet her quickly, he would not think about anything else. He could only bury his feelings in his heart and not tell anyone. He would taste the bitterness and loneliness. When he reached the peak in the future, he would fulfill his promise.
However, now that he was nearing Saber City, the feelings that he suppressed in his heart could not help but leak out.
Is she doing well? How is she now? How are her injuries? Will she blame me for not even writing a letter to her?
Did she still remember that once upon a time, there was a young and inexperienced youth who shouted those rather funny words from the top of the mountain?
Will she still remember the promise that white-robed youth made?
Xiao Chen smiled in disappointment and frustration. He shook his head slightly and collected his thoughts. After he paid the entrance tax, he slowly walked into the city.
"He he, the White Robed Bladesman's influence is really great. Unexpectedly, there are still people imitating his attire."
"That's normal. Think about what he did in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. He defeated the experts of the Holy Lands alone. Then, he defeated the geniuses of the Noble Clans of the Great Qin Nation. Our Heavenly Saber Pavilion has not had such a genius in the past few thousand years."
"Unfortunately, that bastard Song Que is too wicked. He caused our Heavenly Saber Pavilion to lose such a genius for nothing."
"Yeah, that bastard deserved to be killed. He deserved to be punched in the head. It's not an injustice at all."
The cultivators guarding the city whispered behind him. Xiao Chen's six senses were very sharp; he could hear everything clearly. He could not help but reveal a faint smile.
