The black sea roared ferociously in the world inside the throne. There seemed to be a boundless abyss in the distance, looking at Xiao Chen emotionlessly.
Immortal scripts slowly flowed on the purple Lightning Talisman in Xiao Chen's hand, flickering with a faint golden light. Electricity crackled.
Xiao Chen looked into the distance and entered deep thought. Massacre and death were one in the first place. Without massacre, there would be no death.
Massacre was the method, and death was the result. The two were related to the beginning and the end. From a certain point of similarity, they should be the same state.
With such a common state, Xiao Chen thought of reincarnation. The end did not mean the end. However, the state that reincarnation represented was very vast. It was not something that could be combined with massacre and death.
Xiao Chen could only be sure of the answer after he collected the other five thrones.
The others only focused on a single attribute of the throne. The Corpse Race and the Ghost Race wanted the Death Throne because it was compatible with the Death Dao that they cultivated.
They could better control corpses and ghosts, greatly increasing their strength.
However, Xiao Chen thought even further. Of course, his answer might not be correct. When the seven thrones merged, it did not represent reincarnation. It was the primal chaos, eternal life, or nothingness. No one could say for sure.
Xiao Chen stared at the farthest part of the sea. In the end, he gave up on making a move.
Ordinary people only needed to focus on one state to become a powerful expert. Right now, Xiao Chen had not even completely grasped the Massacre Dao. If he tried to cultivate the Death Dao, he would be seeking his own death.
It was like an ant overestimating itself and trying to eat an elephant.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense flashed, and he leaped out. His vision returned to the real world. With a flip of his hand, he placed the Death Throne in his Universe Ring.
If he could collect all seven thrones in the future, he might be able to cultivate an unprecedented peak state.
In less than half a month, the Sage War, which would determine the spots for the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, would begin. He had to make good use of the Heaven Series training room.
The pressure in the combat room increased. Ignoring his fatigue and hard work, Xiao Chen continued to stabilize his new Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, bringing it closer to himself.
Five days later, when the spiritual milk ran out, Xiao Chen dragged his injured body to the cultivation room. Then, he frantically absorbed the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Vein's origin under the prayer mat.
Soon, the last day of the Heaven Series training room arrived. Xiao Chen took out the energy crystal of Emperor Wu's will clone.
After activating the energy crystal, an old man made of light instantly appeared in the combat room of the Heaven Series training room.
The old man's aura did not look very strong. At the very least, Xiao Chen did not feel any pressure.
The will clone sealed in this crystal looks like it only has a hundredth or a thousandth of a Martial Emperor's strength. However, it should still have its combat experience and techniques. That should be enough.
The old man wore robes of alternating blue and white. He stood there empty-handed as he looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes gleaming with spirit. He said, "My true body is already destroyed. This will clone has been used for several thousand years already."
"I can only appear for an hour now. Make good use of it."
Xiao Chen nodded his head seriously. He slowly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber and slowly accumulated his aura. A vast sea slowly appeared behind him.
It was the Dragon Subduing Slash's Blue Dragon Emerging from the Sea. Xiao Chen had never used this crystal that sealed Emperor Wu's will avatar. He planned to use it to comprehend the third move of the Dragon Subduing Slash.
The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was a commonly used Martial Technique. The Dragon Subduing Slash was the true trump card.
Rumble!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine pillars of water soared into the sky. A Blue Dragon leaped out of the sea, and a three-hundred-meter-long dragon-shaped saber Qi instantly formed. Xiao Chen roared ferociously. It sounded like a True Dragon roaring as he hacked at the old man in front.
The old man was slightly stunned. When he saw the Saber Technique Xiao Chen executed, he said, "I have not seen the Dragon Subduing Slash for several tens of thousands of years. You learned it pretty well. Unfortunately, you are still far from Great Perfection."
The old man kicked off the ground and gathered all his Quintessence in his palm. He spun around and quickly dodged the strong wind formed by the dragon-shaped saber Qi.
Xiao Chen used the Choking Hand to choke the neck of the dragon-shaped saber Qi. The mighty and unparalleled dragon-shaped saber Qi with a flourishing aura seemed to have struck its weakness, instantly scattering.
Xiao Chen was startled. He had not expected the Blue Dragon Emerging from the Sea to have such an opening.
Xiao Chen stomped on the air, and an inextinguishable dragon roar came from his body. His figure advanced rapidly. When his aura reached its peak, Xiao Chen soared into the air. Auspicious clouds covered his body, materializing a Soaring Dragon.
The old man's figure flickered. He smiled and said, "This move is pretty good. You have already grasped eighty percent of its essence."
The old man's clothes fluttered, and his expression sank. He formed hand seals and pointed ferociously at Xiao Chen, who was soaring like a True Dragon.
A huge finger seemed to come from beyond the heavens, carrying a strong Heavenly Might. It gently tapped Xiao Chen's aura, pressing down on him the moment his aura rose.
"Bang!"
Blood leaked out of a corner of Xiao Chen's mouth. The Soaring Dragon's momentum was instantly broken, and he tumbled a few times before standing up.
As Xiao Chen looked at the old man in the air, he entered deep thought. The strength that the other party used was no stronger than peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage. However, he could easily find the openings in Xiao Chen's moves and break them.
However, this was a good thing. Xiao Chen was not afraid of openings. He was afraid of openings that he did not know and could still be pleased with himself.
"Again!"
The sounds of intense fighting rang out in the combat room once more. Although the old man was only an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, he relied on his vast combat experience and insight to torture Xiao Chen to the point where he hovered between life and death.
After more than a hundred moves, Xiao Chen finally patched up some of the weaknesses of Return of the Azure Dragon and Dragon Soars in the Sky. He had gained a lot.
The light on the old man's body dimmed. Soon, he would return to the crystal.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, and the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in his dantian split into two. The Quintessence it carried flowed along two different meridians.
Slowly, two azure-colored dragon images appeared on the slender Lunar Shadow Saber in Xiao Chen's hand. They coiled around the saber. A speck of light as resplendent as the sun appeared at the tip of the saber.
"Dragon Subduing Slash's third move, Twin Dragons Playing with Pearls!"
The saber tip flashed with light, and in an instant, it reflected the old man's figure. Then, it quickly flew towards him. The two dragon images formed and chased after that speck of light.
When the old man saw this move, his expression turned somewhat grave. He glanced at that formless light, and his figure flickered around the combat room.
However, no matter how the old man dodged, that speck of light locked onto the old man and chased him relentlessly. The two dragon images quickly formed behind it.
The dragon scales on the old man's body were clearly visible. The dragon horns on the old man's head and the Dragon Qi he spat out made it hard to distinguish the real from the fake. A faint Dragon Might slowly spread out.
Finally, the old man sighed helplessly and stopped. He said, "Never mind. I should have known that I would not be able to dodge such a shameless move."
That speck of light instantly entered the old man's body, and the two Blue Dragons flew out. A strong wind blew, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.
The old man threw a palm strike and circulated his Quintessence, using the remaining energy to clash head-on with this move.
An intense explosion rang out, accompanied by the horrifying fluctuations of surging Quintessence. A wave of cyan light swept out. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" Several combat puppets stopped at the edge of the combat room instantly collapsed.
When everything vanished, the old man's figure could no longer be seen. He must have returned to the crystal.
Xiao Chen panted, his complexion pale. This move used his Origin Energy and exhausted a lot of it. However, it looked like the effects were pretty good.
Even Emperor Wu could not find any openings. Unable to dodge, he could only receive it head-on.
Two Dragons Playing with Pearls was just the beginning. If Xiao Chen cultivated it further, he could execute Three Dragons Playing with Pearls, Four Dragons Playing with Pearls, and even the highest level of Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls.
When Xiao Chen saw some of the precious combat puppets in the combat room shattered into pieces, he felt somewhat vexed. He did not know if the Haotian Sect would call him over for compensation.
Closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged, Xiao Chen entered a state of selflessness. Then, he started to carefully comprehend his gains in the past hour, memorizing the openings of the first two moves of the Dragon Subduing Slash.
When the sky turned dark, Shui Lingling's cry came from outside the Heaven Series training room. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and executed Thunder Dragon Steps, leaping out the door in a few breaths.
Shui Lingling glanced at Xiao Chen and discovered that the expression in his eyes had become even more reserved. She could no longer see through him.
When Xiao Chen looked carefully, the purple Heavenly Sage Laws behind him were actually hazy as well. She could only see countless electric sparks crackling and flickering endlessly.
As Xiao Chen walked, he gained a sharpness that had not been there before. He gave off a faint King Grade True Dragon Qi, which surprised Shui Lingling the most.
In the past, Xiao Chen had been this reserved as well, simple and unadorned. However, he had kept his sharpness hidden in his heart, not revealing it at all.
Now, for some reason, he actually revealed a trace of his sharpness. Given his cultivation, it was not that he could not control this sharpness. Instead, he did it casually, not suppressing it on purpose.
Did this mean that the unparalleled saber with unparalleled sharpness had already decided to leave its scabbard and fight for its place in this age of geniuses?
With just one meeting, Shui Lingling thought of many things from Xiao Chen. Furthermore, her guesses were very accurate.
Xiao Chen glanced at Shui Lingling, feeling somewhat astonished. Her improvement in the past month was no weaker than his.
Xiao Chen did not know where exactly she cultivated, but the effects were no weaker than in the Heaven Series training room.
"First Senior Sister, why are you looking for me?" Xiao Chen asked.
Shui Lingling took out a crystal and handed it to Xiao Chen seriously. "This is a will clone that my master specially condensed for you. It has a tenth of his strength.
"To condense this will clone, he needs to recuperate for five years. However, as long as a Martial Emperor does not appear, this will clone can protect your life at any time."
Xiao Chen received the crystal and felt the energy in it. It was much stronger than the aura of the old man in the cultivation room. Hence, what Shui Lingling said was true.
Such a life-saving item was something that Xiao Chen urgently needed. He could not help but have a favorable impression of this Haotian Emperor, whom he had never met before.
"Haha! Let's go. Let's gather at the First Elder's place. We are going to the Central Province's Bushin Palace."
