"Be it the geniuses from the lower realms or the young experts of the Tianwu Domain, there are several people who are even more talented than Xiao Chen. However, they lack accumulations, so they did not come to the Savage Battlefield."
A strange look flashed in the eyes of Hu Hai and the other two. They found this somewhat incredible. It would be hard to find ten heaven-defying people like Xiao Chen in the Tianwu Domain in a hundred years.
However, Shui Lingling said that there were several geniuses who were even stronger than Xiao Chen. This was too shocking.
Shui Lingling continued, There is an insurmountable bottleneck between half-Sage and Martial Sage. Relying on treasures like Spirit Gathering Pearls will not have any effect. One can only rely on one's own comprehension and experience.
"Within one year, if the so-called seven giants of the Tianwu Domain do not improve, at least half of them will be defeated by the newcomers."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Shui Lingling's words might be a little exaggerated, but they should be true. The Savage Battlefield was just the start of a great era. After this, there would be an endless stream of newcomers.
Half a month later, the Haotian City appeared in the distance. After a long time, Xiao Chen saw the familiar city walls and people again.
This made him feel like he had returned home. He did not need to think about anything and could rest properly.
Before everyone went their separate ways, Shui Lingling asked Xiao Chen to stay behind. She said, "Junior Brother Xiao Chen, do you have any plans for the future? If you are willing, I can make you a true inheritor."
True inheritor was a status that many people in the Haotian Sect dreamed of. Once one became one, not only would one be able to practice the Heaven Ranked Cultivation Techniques of the Haotian Sect, but they would also obtain all sorts of resources and more freedom.
If one's strength was outstanding, the sect would even send them to the Bushin Palace to interact with the elites of the entire Tianwu Domain. They would compete with the cultivators of the other races and experience the even more majestic Kunlun Great World.
Shui Lingling continued, "As long as you are willing, I can immediately bring you to the Central Province's Bushin Palace. That is the center of the Tianwu Domain, where all the elites of the human race gather.
"While you are there, your strength will increase even faster. One year later, your chances of defeating Bai Wuxue will be even greater."
There were many benefits to becoming a true inheritor. One could imagine the benefits one would receive if they entered the Bushin Palace. However, everything had a price. Once he accepted it, he would definitely have to bear some responsibilities or obligations.
Xiao Chen was a free person and didn't like to be restricted. Moreover, he had promised Ao Jiao that he would go to a place. There was a conflict of time between the two, and there was no way to reconcile. He could only decline Shui Lingling's invitation.
Shui Lingling smiled warmly and said, "Alright, I won't force you. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. I'll be in the Haotian Sect for the next month."
"Farewell!" Xiao Chen cupped his hands and left.
As Shui Lingling watched Xiao Chen leave, she revealed a contemplative expression on her gentle and pretty face. She muttered, "Perhaps only the Sect Master can convince him."
When Xiao Chen returned to his courtyard, he did not do anything. First, he took a hot bath, completely relaxing his body and mind, which had been tense for the past few days.
Then, he made a table full of dishes and had a good meal. After everything was done, he went back to his room.
After everything was done, Xiao Chen slowly organized the treasures that he had not used in time. Naturally, the first was the Dragon Mark Fruit, which could increase one's Vital Qi by one hundred and fifty tons of force.
However, Xiao Chen had some doubts about the Medicinal Energy of this Dragon Mark Fruit. Right now, his physical body was already a Rank 1 Sage Body. Whether it could increase one hundred and fifty tons of force of Vital Qi was still a big question mark.
Xiao Chen estimated that he could increase his Vital Qi by fifty tons of force at most, and that would already be pretty good.
Naturally, the second item was the dragon bones containing the two drops of Dragon Marrow.
Dragon Marrow was good stuff. After Xiao Chen consumed half a drop of Dragon Marrow, he could clearly feel the changes in his bones.
During the battle, Xiao Chen had experienced it firsthand. Bai Wuxue's cold poison had not seeped into his internal organs. This had a lot to do with the dragon bones that had been modified by the Dragon Marrow.
The two drops of Dragon Marrow could strengthen Xiao Chen's bones further, further improving his defense. It might even undergo a complete transformation.
The third item was the Dragon Tone Art, a soundwave-type Martial Technique that countered the Deity Race's Mental Energy Martial Techniques. In the future, when Xiao Chen left the Tianwu Domain, he would definitely be able to use it.
As for the last item, it was that mysterious painting of the Qing Emperor. This item was too strange. Even until now, Xiao Chen did not have the courage to open it again.
That incomparably realistic feeling of death was not a good feeling. However, the exquisite Drawing the Saber of the person in the painting had an incredible allure.
One could not help but want to take a look. This was simply too contradictory.
Aside from this, there was a large pile of True Dragon bones in the ring. However, those things could only be used to exchange for resources. Xiao Chen had no use for them.
The four treasures were placed before Xiao Chen. He had indeed gained a lot from this trip to the Savage Battlefield. Not only had his strength soared, surpassing his expectations, but his gains were also gratifying.
Fortuitous encounters. No wonder the cultivators of the world loved fortuitous encounters so much. Even at the risk of death, they still rushed forward.
Xiao Chen held the Dragon Mark Fruit in his hand and thought for a while. In the end, he gave up on consuming it.
The foundation of his physical body was too strong. He would not be able to bring out the full Medicinal Energy of the Dragon Mark Fruit. He might as well keep it and give it to Yue Chenxi when the time came. Yue Chenxi specialized in Fist Techniques. Her Vital Qi could increase by one hundred and fifty tons of force. This would definitely be of great help to her close combat.
Xiao Chen took out two jade bottles and broke open the True Dragon bones. Two drops of golden Dragon Marrow containing pure Dragon Might fell into the jade bottles.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and swallowed the two drops of Dragon Marrow, which others coveted. Then, he sat down cross-legged and quietly waited for the Dragon Marrow to take effect.
When Xiao Chen looked within himself, he discovered that his entire skeleton was covered in a layer of dazzling golden light. That was the Dragon Marrow slowly seeping into his bones.
The previous half drop of Dragon Marrow did not have such a mysterious phenomenon. It was probably too diluted. The amount of Dragon Marrow that had seeped into every bone was too little.
"Ka ca!
As the Dragon Marrow slowly seeped into Xiao Chen, every bone in his body gave off soft sounds. Every bone seemed to be changing from the inside out.
When all of the Dragon Marrow had seeped into the bones, the golden light on the bones finally disappeared.
When Xiao Chen looked carefully, he discovered that the color of his bones had changed. They now glowed with a faint golden light.
The golden light was very faint. However, it gave his fragile bones a texture. With one look, he could tell that they had become much sturdier.
Xiao Chen sensed that there seemed to be something more in his entire skeleton.
He carefully sensed for a long time and finally discovered that his entire skeleton was connected. There was an indistinct barrier of light, forming an internal layer of defense in his body.
After withdrawing his consciousness, Xiao Chen's face lit up with joy. He muttered to himself, "It looks like when I consumed the half drop of Dragon Marrow, it already formed an internal layer of defense. This is the secret to blocking Bai Wuxue's cold poison."
However, the effect of the half drop of Dragon Marrow was too little. It could not form a visible barrier of light. Xiao Chen only had such an effect after consuming another two drops of Dragon Marrow.
If he ran into Bai Wuxue again in the future, the other party's cold poison, which gave him a headache, might be completely ineffective against him.
Furthermore, with an additional internal layer of defense, Xiao Chen's overall defense was much stronger than before.
As Xiao Chen held the dragon bones with the Dragon Marrow removed, he thought to himself, The barrier of light is still too faint. This internal layer of defense still has a lot of potential.
Just as Xiao Chen was experiencing the benefits of consuming the two drops of Dragon Marrow, a group of uninvited guests came to his courtyard with hostile gazes when they heard that he had returned.
This group was led by Hua Tianhe, the true inheritors of the other sect.
Xiao Chen put away the Dragon Tone Art. For now, he did not intend to learn this Martial Technique. He did not have the time to do so.
Looking at the painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber, Xiao Chen hesitated for a long time. In the end, he decided to unfurl the painting. The drawing of the saber of the person in the painting was simply too tempting.
It was clearly just a casual posture. However, Xiao Chen could see several directions from which the saber could be drawn. There were even some that he did not know of.
Such a Drawing the Saber gave Xiao Chen a significant impact. If he could learn it, his Saber Techniques would definitely improve.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen frowned and casually placed the painting of the Qing Emperor drawing the saber into his Universe Ring. Xiao Chen looked out of the courtyard and muttered to himself for a while. Then, his figure flashed and he quickly drifted out.
Standing on the Blue Dragon image, Xiao Chen arrived outside the courtyard. Then, he expressionlessly sized up Hua Tianhe, Yun Feiyu, and the others.
The eyes of the other five contained a murderous intent. Their expressions were cold, and they placed their right hands on their swords. Clearly, they did not come with good intentions.
Xiao Chen looked up and said calmly, "Senior Brothers, I wonder what brings you to this small courtyard?"
Hua Tianhe and the others sized up Xiao Chen. Shock immediately appeared in their eyes. In a short two months, Xiao Chen's strength had become somewhat unfathomable.
However, in the end, Xiao Chen was only a peak Medial Grade Martial Monarch. Hua Tianhe felt slightly more at ease. He was a late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch.
Of the other four, the weakest was a middle-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch. In terms of numbers and cultivation, they could completely suppress Xiao Chen.
Thinking of this, Hua Tianhe's face sank. He could not be bothered to speak any nonsense. He said in a cold voice, "Xiao Chen, let me ask you: were you the one who sneak-attacked us in the Savage Beast Forest that day?"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He smiled faintly and said, "If you do not have any evidence, I hope Senior Brother Hua will not speak nonsense."
A blue-robed swordsman behind Hua Tianhe stepped forward and pointed at Xiao Chen. He said, "Do you want evidence? After the incident, Wang Cheng personally told us that you were not with them. Instead, you were sneakily hiding. You are the most suspicious! "
Xiao Chen had not expected Wang Cheng to do such a thing. This somewhat surprised him. However, that was then and this was now. Whether there was evidence or suspicion was no longer important.
Xiao Chen did not deny it. He said, "Just say what you want to say. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Hua Tianhe smiled and said, "Since you already admit to it, I will be straightforward. You caused us to lose the right to go to the Savage Battlefield. You have to bear the responsibility for this loss."
"That's right. You have to bear the responsibility. Hand over all the treasures you obtained from the Savage Battlefield and give each of us one million Superior Grade Spirit Stones. Otherwise, we will not have a good time in the Haotian Sect," a person behind Hua Tianhe shouted sternly.
The matter of Xiao Chen exchanging one hundred moves with Bai Wuxue and remaining undefeated had not spread yet. Hence, these people all believed that they already had Xiao Chen in the bag. Hence, their words were not polite at all and were overbearing.
