Only the beam of light on the Divine Weapon remained eternal. At this moment, the gray-robed old man holding the Divine Weapon became the center of the Sky Dome Realm.
"Xiu!"
A miserable shriek resounded, and the light scattered. The various mysterious phenomena vanished, replaced by the blazing sun high in the sky.
However, the shocking scene just now had left an indelible mark in everyone's hearts.
At the end of the horizon, everyone could see the black dot that Sima Hong had turned into. He was like a broken kite, on the verge of falling. The saber Qi of the Divine Weapon severely injured him from ten kilometers away.
"Come back!" The gray-robed old man shouted ferociously. He spread open his left palm, and a huge suction force formed in the center of his palm, which contained the power of the world.
A horrifying whirlpool formed in the air. Sima Hong, who was ten kilometers away, was covered in blood as he was pulled back uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
A loud sound rang out. Sima Hong and Sima Lingxuan both landed on the Heaven Ascending Platform.
Under the vast might of the Divine Weapon, Sima Hong knelt on one knee. His severely injured body could not help but tremble. There was a horrifying wound on his chest from which blood flowed.
When Jiang Chi and the other elders below saw the old man arrive, they became very excited. However, because of the might of the Divine Weapon, they could not go forward to speak with him.
"Ka ca!"
The old man casually waved his hand, and the Divine Weapon returned to its scabbard. The wooden box returned to its original position and quietly stood beside Xiao Chen.
Sima Hong's aura suddenly relaxed, and he fell heavily to the ground. The old man's figure flashed and landed beside Sima Hong.
"After injuring so many of my Heavenly Saber Pavilion's disciples, do you think that is possible?"
Sima Hong bowed and said in dissatisfaction, "Leng Tianyun, you are just relying on the might of the Divine Weapon. What capabilities do you have? If you were truly capable, the position of Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Pavilion Master would have been yours."
"So, it is him, the younger brother of the previous Pavilion Master. Unexpectedly, he returned."
"Forty years ago, for the sake of vying for the position of Pavilion Master, he lost to his elder brother and left in a huff. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for forty years, he actually stepped into the threshold of Martial Sage."
Upon hearing Sima Hong's words, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They all guessed the gray-robed old man's identity.
Forty years ago, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was like the sun in the sky. Furthermore, two absolute geniuses appeared at the same time. Furthermore, they were brothers. Unfortunately, one mountain could not contain two tigers.
Leng Tianyun lost to his brother in one move. He had no choice but to give up his position as Pavilion Master and leave the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. However, the Demonic Calamity twenty years ago caused the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to lose all its elites. The Genius Pavilion Master also died. Since then, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion had declined.
Otherwise, Sima Hong would not dare to behave atrociously here, boasting that he could destroy the Heavenly Saber Pavilion by himself.
Now, at the most critical moment for the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Leng Tianyun finally rushed back. Using the Divine Weapon, he defeated Sima Hong in one move.
When Leng Tianyun heard Sima Hong's words, he snorted coldly, "Ignorant fool. Even if your father were here, he would not dare to say such words. Junior Brother Jiang, send someone to hang him at the gates of Saber City. When the Sima Clan's people come to pick him up, the Sima Clan will have to compensate the Heavenly Saber Pavilion a hundredfold!"
A bona fide Martial Sage, someone at the top of the pyramid of the continent, was actually going to be hung at the city gates. Just thinking about it gave everyone a headache.
Sima Hong got up and leaped forward. He shouted angrily, "Leng Tianyun, you dare?!"
"Why would I not dare?!"
Leng Tianyun kicked Sima Hong back. The force in his right leg was boundless, scattering the last bit of Sima Hong's Quintessence.
When Jiang Chi and the other elders heard Leng Tianyun's words, they quickly ordered people to capture Sima Hong. Then, they cuffed him up and dragged him away.
Leng Tianyun looked up and saw the other cultivators who had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak in. He immediately came to his senses and quickly fled.
Normally, this was a forbidden land. Now that the chaos was over, if they did not leave, it would be problematic if they pursued the matter.
When Leng Tianyun saw that this group of people were rather tactful, he withdrew his gaze and ignored them.
"Senior Brother Leng, fortunately you arrived in time. Otherwise, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion would have been destroyed," Jiang Chi and the others quickly said respectfully.
Leng Tianyun muttered, "There is no need to say anything more. Although I have left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, I will not sit back and watch as the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is destroyed."
Leng Tianyun waved his hand to stop Jiang Chi and the others from continuing. Then, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen, who had already stood up. His eyes revealed deep interest.
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Many thanks for Senior's help."
Leng Tianyun smiled faintly and said, "You saved yourself. You were able to resist the temptation of the Divine Weapon and hand it over to me. Back then, you sowed the seed of today. If not for the Divine Weapon's warning, I would not have rushed over. This is the result.
"If you could let go of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and go directly to the Haotian Sect, Sima Hong would not have dared to play such tricks. In the end, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is a burden to you. However, this will never happen again. I will compensate you for today's matter."
Based on Leng Tianyun's words, he was planning to stay in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. The surrounding elders all revealed excited expressions, clearly very happy.
With such a Martial Sage guarding the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and able to use the Divine Weapon, no one in the Sky Dome Realm would dare to offend the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in the future.
After that, Sima Hong and Sima Lingxuan had their cultivations sealed and were hung above Saber City's walls. The commotion caused by the duel between Xiao Chen and Sima Lingxuan came to an end just like that.
Sima Hong, who had a ferocious aura and valiant strength, lost his reputation. He did not even gain any sympathy.
When dawn arrived the next day, the Haotian Sect's Old Feng arrived as well. When he saw Sima Hong above Saber City, he smiled faintly. However, he did not enter the mountain and just left.
Actually, Old Feng was not particularly worried about Xiao Chen. He was a King Grade True Dragon genius with great Luck. In the Sky Dome Realm, it would be very difficult for him to be killed.
All sorts of things would happen. It was like heaven was looking after him, allowing him to escape from death's door.
The result was as Old Feng expected. The hanging Sima Hong was the best proof. Who could have imagined that a Martial Sage who attacked a Martial Monarch would end up in such a state, becoming the joke of the world?
But it was this unbelievable thing that really happened in front of everyone's eyes. In the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen was the bearer of Luck. He would not die so easily.
Only in the Kunlun Realm, where there were many geniuses with great Luck, would Xiao Chen run into some fatal danger.
Ten days later, the Sima Clan's old Clan Head, who had already retired, personally came to apologize with two hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones. Only then did he bring back the Sima father and son.
When facing Leng Tianyun, who possessed a Divine Weapon, and the Sima Clan being in the wrong, no matter how dissatisfied and sullen he felt, he did not dare to show it.
Otherwise, even if Leng Tianyun said to kill the two, the old Clan Head would not be able to do anything. Comparing two hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones to a Martial Sage, the old Clan Head could still differentiate which was more valuable.
Leng Tianyun used half of the two hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones for the reconstruction of the Heaven Ascending Platform and for the treatment and rewards of the many disciples.
The remaining half, one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones, were all given to Xiao Chen. Furthermore, Leng Tianyun also refined the Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls and gave Xiao Chen a hundred of them, fulfilling his promise.
Compared to Superior Grade Spirit Stones, the effects of Spirit Gathering Pearls were much better. Not only were there more of them, but they were also pure.
Given this, Xiao Chen now had two hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. It would not be enough for him to use them for cultivation every day. He would use them all in a few days.
Xiao Chen intended to use the Spirit Gathering Pearls to break through bottlenecks or use them for emergencies. For example, when he suddenly ran out of Essence and needed to replenish it. If he had Spirit Gathering Pearls, it would be much easier.
In the battle with Sima Hong, Xiao Chen felt a sense of danger. He was still too weak before a Martial Sage.
In the future, when Xiao Chen went to the Kunlun Realm, his Luck would not be as strong. He could not wait for others to save him at all times. He needed to have his own trump cards.
The physical body of a Martial Sage had already become a Sage Body. If he did not truly injure the other party, it would be hard to deal any damage to them.
Xiao Chen temporarily gave up on severely injuring a Martial Sage; that was not realistic. Xiao Chen's goal was to be able to leave easily when he met a Martial Sage. At the very least, he needed to be able to protect himself.
Xiao Chen could only raise his Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art to Great Perfection and see if he could snatch a chance of survival from a Martial Sage.
If the other geniuses of the same generation knew what Xiao Chen was thinking, they would be greatly astonished. They were still thinking about how to break through to Martial Monarch and how to deal with a Medial Grade Martial Monarch.
However, Xiao Chen's gaze was fixed on Martial Sage. He was much stronger than them, leaving them far behind.
There was a waterfall at the back of Qingyun Peak. Below the waterfall was a lake three kilometers wide.
In the past, when Xiao Chen was here, he had cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art to Consummation. The Blue Dragon was of the water attribute. Cultivating the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art in this lake would definitely be faster.
While cultivating, time would pass strangely quickly. Perhaps the last time he looked up was the morning sun. In the next moment, he comprehended something, and the sun was already setting.
When he looked up, the day and night changed. Loneliness flooded his heart like the tide. The surroundings were silent; only the sound of flowing water could be heard.
However, no matter how lonely it was, he had to endure it. In his fight with Sima Hong, Xiao Chen had suffered too much. He had nearly lost his life.
If he didn't want the same thing to happen a second time, he would have to endure all of this.
"Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations!"
Above the lake, Xiao Chen shouted, and a dragon roar resounded endlessly in his chest. His figure flashed, and nine identical clones appeared on the water. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Compared to the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations, these clones did not look any different. However, if one observed carefully, one would discover that each clone had an ethereal dragon-shaped aura surrounding them.
This made the clones seem more realistic. Not only were they made of flesh and blood, but they also had a physical form and spirit. Their expressions did not appear dull.
Among the small tricks of the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations was Xiao Chen's favorite. This move could be used to advance or retreat. When attacking, it could confuse the opponent. When leaving, it would be hard to distinguish the real from the fake.
However, it was far from sufficient to deal with a Martial Sage. Xiao Chen shook his head slightly, and the nine clones merged together. A resonant dragon roar came from behind him, causing a pillar of water to surge into the sky.
"Blue Dragon Tail Whip!"
"Hu chi!" A strong wind blew. Xiao Chen's body seemed to have turned into a dragon's tail, drawing a long arc on the water surface. As his figure flashed, he created a crescent moon-shaped pillar of water.
