Electric light flashed and shattered the powder into nothing. Half of a three-kilometer-tall mountain disappeared before Xiao Chen's eyes.
Only half of the mountainside, which was full of desolation, was left standing alone.
As he stood in the air, Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He felt that the will talisman still had some power left. However, his cultivation had already reached a bottleneck. No matter what, he would not be able to use it.
Three hundred lightning flood dragons was already the greatest might that the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique could bring out.
"Ao Jiao, how long have I been in closed-door cultivation?"
Xiao Chen asked Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, as he sheathed his saber and landed on the mountain summit.
Ao Jiao counted on her fingers and replied, About three months.
After Xiao Chen heard that, his expression could not help but turn strange. Adding the time spent on returning from Kunlun Mountain, that was about four months.
Ying Qiong told Xiao Chen that he needed only two months to complete the Breaking Sage Pill and the other main ingredients. However, there had been no news even after so long.
Could it be that there was an accident? The Saint Breaking Pill was the key to him becoming a Saint in advance. Under normal circumstances, if he did not have the Saint Breaking Pill, he would have died.
Without the Breaking Sage Pill, Xiao Chen would not be able to clear this hurdle without two years of accumulation.
"I hope nothing happened. Otherwise, I can only advance the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation in advance."
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts, and electric light leaped under his feet. With a few flashes, he arrived at a courtyard on the mountainside.
Unexpectedly, a Superior Grade Martial Monarch Haotian Sect disciple stood quietly in front of the courtyard.
This person seemed to have been here for a long time. When he saw Xiao Chen arrive, he revealed a respectful expression. He said, "Inner sect disciple Wu Kan greets Senior Brother Xiao."
Right now, Xiao Chen was like a legend in the Haotian Sect. His position in the hearts of many disciples even surpassed that of their First Senior Sister.
The respectful expression on this person's face was genuine. This was especially so when he felt the formless pressure from Xiao Chen. He did not dare to show any disrespect.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen could not remember this person. He said calmly, "Are you looking for me for something? Or are you here to pass on a message for that senior?"
Wu Kan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xiao Chen's guess is very accurate. I am here to pass on a message for my master. He said that he found the item you asked for."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and recalled what was going on. He said, "Your master is the inner sect's Pill Pavilion's Elder Peng, right?"
Wu Kan nodded and said, "That is my master. Senior Brother Xiao Chen asked my master to keep an eye out for the Yellow Tune Grass and Golden Sun Ganoderma. If Senior Brother has time, you can go and collect them."
Aside from the Flaming Sun Fruit, the Three Holy Masters Grass, and the Heaven Dragon Flower, there were also some other ingredients. Although they were not as hard to find as these three main ingredients and could not be found outside of public auctions, it was still rather troublesome to search for them.
Given Xiao Chen's energy, if he spent the time to search for them, it would take him a long time. To avoid trouble, Xiao Chen had Shui Lingling pull some strings and entrusted this matter to an Elder of the Pill Refining Hall.
Given Xiao Chen's energy, if he spent the time to search for it, it would take him a long time. To avoid trouble, Xiao Chen asked Shui Lingling to pull some strings, entrusting this matter to an elder of the Pill Refining Room.
This Elder's name was Peng Dan. He was a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage. His attainments in Alchemy were rather high. He had even invented a few high-ranked Medicinal Pills.
This Elder also had a peak that suppressed a Peak Spirit Vein. There were hundreds of disciples and thousands of servants there, all of whom listened to his orders.
"Many thanks. I just came out of closed-door cultivation. After resting for a while, I will personally pay Elder Peng a visit."
Xiao Chen guessed that this person had already waited for a long time. He felt very apologetic, so he gave the other party ten thousand Astral Coins as a small token of gratitude.
Wu Chen put it off for a while before accepting Xiao Chen's token of gratitude with a smile. Receiving ten thousand Astral Coins for passing on a message was a great bargain.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the courtyard, the first thing he did was to prepare a table of cooked food for himself. After that, he took a bath and did not linger, rushing directly to the peak where Elder Peng Dan was.
It was also a peak, but Elder Peng's peak was very well maintained. It was built on the mountain and did not spoil the overall beauty of the peak.
Figures could be seen in the various buildings. Some were chatting, some were moving around in a hurry, and some were exchanging moves.
Xiao Chen thought about his own peak. Compared to this, it was like a barren mountain. He could not help but smile bitterly.
There was a disciple in charge of receiving guests at the middle of the mountain. After Xiao Chen reported his identity, he was immediately invited up respectfully. Then, he met Elder Peng in an exquisite pavilion.
There were two rectangular brocade boxes on the wooden table in the pavilion. These should contain the Yellow Song Grass and Golden Sun Ganoderma that Xiao Chen needed.
When Peng Dan saw Xiao Chen arrive, he stood up and welcomed him. He smiled warmly and said, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, you finally arrived. I found what you wanted. Please check it."
Xiao Chen opened the brocade boxes on the table and checked them. There were indeed Yellow Song Grass and Golden Sun Ganoderma. Furthermore, there were two of them.
Xiao Chen took out the five hundred thousand Astral Coins that he had prepared and handed them to the other party. Then, he thanked him again.
The two chatted for a while. Elder Peng casually asked about the effects of the Yellow Song Grass and Golden Sun Ganoderma that Xiao Chen needed. However, Xiao Chen brushed it off perfunctorily.
Peng Dan did not ask too much. However, when Xiao Chen was about to leave, he mentioned something else. He said, "Xiao Chen, do you have any free time in the next two months? This old man has something to ask of you."
Xiao Chen felt surprised. He said, "Elder Peng, what is it? Why don't you tell me first?"
Peng Dan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Then, he said, "I heard that you had a strange Martial Technique in Kunlun Mountain that blocked the Heavenly Flame."
Most people would not know about Chu Chaoyun's appearance in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Given Peng Dan's status, it was not strange for him to know the inside story.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He smiled and said, "I was just lucky. The rumors were exaggerated."
Peng Dan smiled faintly and said, "There is no need to be humble. I know very well whether it was luck or not. Let me tell you about myself first. Although this old man focuses on Alchemy, my cultivation and combat prowess are not much weaker than Martial Sages of the same rank.
"I am not boasting. Using certain methods, some Medial Grade Martial Sages have died at my hands. Normally, when this old man is free, I will go out on experiential training with some good friends. "
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. He gave this old man a meaningful look. This person was definitely not a demonic genius cultivator.
It was definitely not that simple to cross realms to fight as a Martial Sage. If what Peng Dan said was true, then he was really hiding his strength.
"The most recent time I went out was to explore the place where an ancient Sovereign Martial Emperor passed away with a few good friends. During the Ancient Era, this Sovereign Martial Emperor was a notorious evil cultivator. It would not be wrong to say that he was the master of the evil cultivators. The loose cultivators of later generations addressed him as the Evil King!"
When Xiao Chen heard the last sentence, his heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, it was the place where the Evil King passed away. Was that true?
However, Xiao Chen's mental state far surpassed that of ordinary people. He only showed slight shock. He did not show no reaction or shock, reacting like a normal person.
"The ancient Evil King is indeed very famous. I heard about the matter of the seven thrones when I was in the Sky Dome Realm," Xiao Chen said, adding, "Elder Peng must have had a great harvest."
A look of pity flashed in Peng Dan's eyes. He smiled bitterly and said, "How could there be anything? A few old friends and I broke through several restrictions along the way. In the end, we were blocked by a strange flame that resembled a heavenly flame. We were unable to truly enter the Evil King's resting place."
Xiao Chen gently tapped the table with his right hand and frowned. A strange flame that looked like the Heavenly Fire. In other words, that flame was not the Heavenly Fire.
The Heavenly Flame had a very distinct characteristic. Given the experience of Elder Peng and his companions, they would definitely be able to recognize it. If it wasn't the Heavenly Flame, then what kind of flame could it be that could block a group of Martial Sage experts?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's thoughts changed. He looked at Elder Peng. Could it be that the other party is targeting me?
That would be a huge misunderstanding. The Taiji Yinyang Yinyang Flame Diagram could block the Heavenly Fire completely because it also jumped out of Yin and Yang.
When it faced other flames, there would be nothing special about it. If it was a flame that even a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage could not extinguish, it would not be able to do so.
Given Xiao Chen's current cultivation level, he probably would not be able to extinguish it. However, he should be able to make use of the special characteristics of the Yinyang Flame Diagram to temporarily suppress the flames.
Xiao Chen obviously wouldn't reveal this so quickly. He had two thrones left behind by the Evil King, so he was very concerned about the place where the Evil King had died.
Peng Dan met Xiao Chen's gaze and said, "Looks like you've already guessed what I mean. Are you interested? If you are, you can have a share of the treasures left behind by the Evil King."
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to answer. He asked, "Are you sure it's the place where the Evil King passed away?"
Peng Dan said, "I'm 100% sure. The initiator this time is the descendant of the sect that the Evil King founded. However, this sect is no longer able to make a name for itself. It is in the midst of a storm in the Primal Chaos Domain and could collapse at any moment."
"If it wasn't for the fact that the sect is about to be destroyed, my old friend wouldn't have gone against the teachings of our ancestors and disturbed the resting place of our ancestors."
Elder Peng was more than two hundred years old. He was not someone who could be easily fooled. Since he said that, it had to be the place where the Evil King passed away.
However, accompanying a group of older-generation cultivators to search for treasures was a headache. The cultivations of this group of people were probably about the same as Elder Peng's.
There might even be Medial Grade Martial Sages. Now that Xiao Chen's cultivation had improved, he could probably protect himself from Elder Peng at best.
However, he would not stand a chance against a Medial Grade Martial Sage. If that Medial Grade Martial Sage got greedy at the sight of wealth, it would be problematic. Xiao Chen did not believe that Elder Peng could handle the situation alone.
Xiao Chen put these thoughts aside for now. He replied, "Honestly speaking, I do have some tricks up my sleeves. I should be able to seal this flame temporarily. However, I'm not completely confident that I can do it."
Peng Dan waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem. After our previous failure, we agreed to look for a way to break this flame on our own and try again. I've thought of some methods as well. My other old friends should have some as well.
"Come with me three days from now. If we succeed, we will succeed. If not, there are still other ways."
