"Damn, there is no need to be so ruthless," Liu Suifeng said depressedly as he rubbed his face.
"Instructor Suifeng, was that person earlier really the White Robed Bladesman?"
"I heard that back then, he was not as strong as you, right?"
"How strong is he now? I heard someone say that he scared away five Biyun Peak elders by himself."
"That Biyun Peak's Peak Master, Song Qianhe, did not even have the ability to stand before him."
The girls fired questions at Liu Suifeng. If it were anyone else, they would not have been able to endure it.
However, Liu Suifeng chuckled and surrounded the girls. He said calmly, "Don't be in such a rush. Ask them one by one. Let me tell you everything from the beginning."
At the same time, the news of Xiao Chen's return to Qingyun Peak spread like wildfire throughout the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
Furthermore, the story of Xiao Chen's encounter with Biyun Peak's Song Qianhe was recounted vividly. In the end, he even scared away five Superior Grade Martial Kings.
When they thought of the legendary battle from two years ago and saw the strength that Xiao Chen displayed today, several cultivators of the same generation as Xiao Chen sighed.
At the edge of a small cliff on Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyue leaned against a rock.
There was a waterfall in front of the cliff. The sound of water splashing could be heard continuously. The wind blew past the two of them as Xiao Chen spoke softly about his encounters in the past two years.
He told Liu Ruyue everything he had experienced since he left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
From the first time Liu Ruyue saw Xiao Chen, she had already guessed that Xiao Chen's future accomplishments would not stop at the Great Qin Nation.
The Heavenly Saber Pavilion could not hold him back. However, she had not expected that the stage that Xiao Chen wanted would be so big.
Xiao Chen was not very eloquent. What should have been a very exciting experience sounded very ordinary when he spoke about it. This was similar to his low-profile character.
Liu Ruyue squinted her eyes slightly. However, she was very engrossed in listening, carefully savoring every word. She was the only one who could understand the thrill and danger that Xiao Chen was facing from Xiao Chen's calm tone.
Time passed by unknowingly. The sound of the wind and the sound of water lingered in their ears. Xiao Chen shrugged slightly and smiled, "Tell me about yourself. How have you been doing these past two years?"
What Liu Ruyue said was exactly the same as what Liu Suifeng said. After he left, Qingyun Peak developed very quickly in the second year.
In the past two years, she had to guide Liu Suifeng to teach the new disciples during the day and cultivate by herself at night. Every day could be said to be extremely busy.
Even so, Liu Ruyue managed to become a peak Superior Grade Martial King. This showed how strong her talent was.
If not for Xiao Chen being over twenty-four years old, he would not have any problems passing the preliminaries of this Five Nation Youth Competition.
Liu Ruyue asked with some anticipation, "How long do you intend to stay here this time?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying, "About two months. There is still half a year before the Five Nation Youth Competition begins. I still have to do some things for the Xiao Clan."
When the sky turned completely dark, Xiao Chen reluctantly said goodbye to Liu Ruyue and returned to his courtyard.
The stars were resplendent in the night sky. Xiao Chen practiced the Four Season Saber Technique in the courtyard. At the same time, he comprehended the state of the fourth and final move.
Spring uses thunder, summer uses fire, autumn uses rain. However, he could not think of what to use in winter as a catalyst.
If he followed Bai Shuihe's style, winter would naturally use snow, using the state of extreme cold to seal the world in ice.
Xiao Chen did not want to follow Bai Shuihe's style. He wanted to create his own Four Season Saber Technique. Hence, he could not use snow as a catalyst. "Hua! Hua!
Hua! "
Under the influence of Xiao Chen's saber intent, the fallen leaves in the courtyard formed a ball in the air at some point in time.
As Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, the ball of fallen leaves immediately exploded.
The remnant saber intent still lingered on the fallen leaves. When it burst out, it created thousands of holes of various sizes in the surrounding ground.
The First Elder, Jiang Chi, had just entered the courtyard. When he stepped on the ground, a dull explosion immediately came from the ground.
There seemed to be ten-odd sharp saber intents under the sturdy ground. They all formed a formation and started circulating their Cultivation Techniques.
With a loud bang, under the astonished gazes of the First Elder and the others, the ground of the courtyard suddenly exploded, sending a cloud of dust into the air.
The countless fallen leaves hidden in the dust were still spinning. A misty saber intent spread out, causing the weapon in Jiang Chi's hand to buzz and tremble.
"It really is saber intent!"
The First Elder, Jiang Chi, exclaimed excitedly as he held the trembling weapon in his hand and looked at the spinning fallen leaves in the air.
Jiang Chi had advanced to half-step Martial Monarch many years ago. Even with the vast resources of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, he had not been able to break through to Martial Monarch. He might not have any hope of becoming a Martial Monarch in this lifetime.
However, as a half-step Martial Monarch, Jiang Chi relied on the vast resources to temper himself, becoming an unrivaled existence.
If Xiao Chen had not comprehended saber intent, Jiang Chi would have an eighty percent chance of defeating Xiao Chen. However, now that Xiao Chen comprehended saber intent, Jiang Chi did not even have a sixty percent chance.
Something like saber intent did not depend on one's cultivation realm or cultivation. It only depended on one's comprehension ability. Some people might not be able to comprehend saber intent even after becoming a Martial Sage. However, some people might be able to comprehend saber intent as a Martial Saint.
Only by comprehending saber intent could a bladesman be considered a complete bladesman.
"First Elder!"
Xiao Chen said respectfully with a cupped-fist salute as he leaped over the flying soil and arrived beside Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi had done Xiao Chen a favor. Furthermore, it was not an ordinary favor; it was a favor of saving his life. Even though Xiao Chen's strength surpassed Jiang Chi's, he did not dare to show any disrespect.
When Jiang Chi saw Xiao Chen's attitude, he felt very satisfied. He carefully sized up Xiao Chen and sighed softly, "You are old. Two years ago, you were just a peak Martial Saint. In merely two years, you actually advanced to half-step Martial Monarch.
"You are no weaker than me. You are so young, and you even comprehended saber intent. Your future is limitless."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "My saber intent is not worth mentioning. It has not reached Small Perfection. If it had reached Small Perfection, the remnant saber intent on the fallen leaf would have returned to the saber the instant I withdrew my saber."
Indeed, Xiao Chen was still far from achieving Small Perfection in saber intent.
The First Elder, Jiang Chi, smiled faintly and chatted with Xiao Chen. He cleverly did not mention Xiao Chen's oath.
"Xiao Chen, actually, I have a presumptuous request this time. Can you represent the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in this Five Nation Youth Competition?"
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Chi finally stated his purpose for coming here.
The Heavenly Saber Pavilion had its own branch in Desolate City. However, it was not as big as the other sects.
Hence, the First Elder, Jiang Chi, was not like the other disciples of the sect. He did not know anything about Xiao Chen after he left.
Jiang Chi was very clear about Xiao Chen's achievements in the Ancient Desolate Land. He knew that Xiao Chen could rival the demonic geniuses of the Great Jin Nation.
With Xiao Chen's strength, he would not have any problems entering the top fifty. If such a person could represent the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the benefits would be immeasurable.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and made a decision in his heart. He nodded and said, "I will gladly do so. I came from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in the first place. Furthermore, the First Elder saved my life. Since you think highly of me, Xiao Chen will naturally do his best."
Xiao Chen agreed so straightforwardly. Jiang Chi was stunned. He only reacted after a while. He smiled and said, "Good! Good! Good! Your pure heart has not changed. Don't worry. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion cannot compare to those rich and powerful factions. However, the resources you deserve will not be lacking!"
Jiang Chi laughed loudly and said "good" three times in a row. He was clearly in a carefree mood.
The next day, Jiang Chi ordered people to deliver three boxes. The first box contained ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. The second box contained ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
When Xiao Chen opened the third box, he immediately felt a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. Unexpectedly, it was filled with Superior Grade Spirit Stones. Furthermore, there were ten thousand of them.
Even Xiao Chen was somewhat astonished. He knew about the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's foundation. Taking out ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones in one go was truly a huge investment.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and put away the Spirit Stones. Although there were not many resources, they were timely help.
Xiao Chen was now truly poor. He had exhausted all his resources in the Boundless Sea; he was in urgent need of resources.
However, Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and Medial Grade Spirit Stones were already useless to him. Xiao Chen handed them over to Liu Ruyue for the night.
After Xiao Chen received the Spirit Stones, it meant that he could not go back on his word. So, after another day, the news that Xiao Chen would represent the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in the Five Nation Youth Competition spread.
Under Jiang Chi's purposeful control, this news spread throughout the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion. When all the disciples heard this news, they were all extremely excited.
They had not expected that Xiao Chen, who had been forced out of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, would return to help them.
During the days on Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen adjusted his mentality. He allowed himself to relax during the day, accompanying Liu Ruyue as she walked around. Occasionally, he would teach the juniors of Qingyun Peak.
On the fifteenth of the seventh month, one month had passed since Xiao Chen arrived at Qingyun Peak. On this day, something major happened in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Even the Elders' Assembly's Jiang Chi was startled.
The previous top genius, Murong Chong, had returned as well.
The Five Nation Youth Competition would begin in half a year. Furthermore, this Five Nation Youth Competition might open the door to the Upper Realm.
Not only the Five Great Nations, but also the Great Jin, Chu, Great Tang, Great Xia, and Great Qin, the Ancient Desolate Land, the surrounding barbarians, and the vast Boundless Sea.
All the genius cultivators and demonic geniuses under the Starry Heavens would participate. The Five Nation Youth Competition would usher in an unprecedented grand occasion.
The Germinal Organization of cultivators might lose the word 'germinal' because of this battle, ushering in a grand age of tens of thousands of cultivators.
In this era of great competition, everything would be reshuffled. This was not only an opportunity for cultivators to stand out, it was also an opportunity for sects.
At this crucial moment, Murong Chong returned. Naturally, the management of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was very excited.
Back then, Murong Chong was the top genius of the Xihe Province. No one could compare to him. Three years ago, he was already a Superior Grade Martial Saint. However, because he lost to Xiao Chen in one move, he had to go on experiential training.
