The main purpose of this trip was to figure out the origins of the seven thrones and see if merging them into one could form the state of cycle. After that, he could upgrade it into the will of cycle to fight against Chu Chaoyun.
Xiao Chen opened the letter and read it carefully. His expression changed continuously. The letter recorded some of the Evil King's past experiences and his comprehension of the Martial Dao.
However, most of it was a kind of despair for the Great Dao. As a powerful expert from the Ancient Era, he stood at the very peak.
However, the higher one stood, the more reverence one would feel for this world. The more one understood, the more one would feel insignificant.
The Evil King used a very certain tone to express that there were definitely stronger existences above Sovereign Martial Emperor. The peak of the Martial Dao was not limited to this.
However, the Evil King could not enter. Some of the people who advanced to that realm also left mysteriously.
The letter did record the seven thrones very clearly. It was a Cultivation Technique that the Evil King obtained from the Mirage Immortal Palace called the Cycle Art.
One had to comprehend seven wills — massacre, ruin, destruction, grief, pain, despair, and death. Finally, one had to comprehend the true essence of each and merge them to cultivate the Cycle Art.
The strength of the Cycle Art far surpassed that of any Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique. Every time one succeeded in cultivating a will, it would transform into a throne.
The Evil King left behind seven thrones, which meant that he had successfully comprehended all seven wills. However, he had not merged them, which meant that he had not cultivated the Cycle Art.
According to the letter, the merging of the seven thrones required a tool. Furthermore, this tool was still in the Mirage Immortal Palace.
For the sake of finding this tool and becoming an existence that surpassed Sovereign Martial Emperor, the Evil King activated a forbidden land in the Mirage Immortal Palace that even he could not clear.
The letter ended there. However, Xiao Chen could roughly guess the contents of the letter.
It was nothing more than the Evil King failing to clear the forbidden land and escaping with his life. Then, he suffered an incurable injury and died.
Xiao Chen closed the black letter and could not relax his frown. He did not see the glory of a Sovereign Martial Emperor in the words at all.
They were all filled with reverence for the Great Dao, the pursuit of martial arts, the yearning for the unknown, and an indescribable loneliness.
This gave Xiao Chen a deeper understanding of Sovereign Martial Emperors. Ten thousand years ago, the Qing Emperor had been the strongest Sovereign Martial Emperor since the Ancient Era. He had been unrivaled in the entire Kunlun Realm.
His heart was probably even lonelier than the Evil King's. Would his reverence for the Great Path be as heavy as the Evil King's?
The Great Path was difficult. Was there really a peak? This was the first time Xiao Chen had such a question.
Putting away those temporarily useless feelings, Xiao Chen summarized the information that was useful to him in the letter.
The seven thrones could indeed merge. It was not much different from what Xiao Chen had expected. After merging, the seven states would form the state of cycle.
This was a supreme concept that surpassed high-level concepts and pointed directly at the Great Dao.
However, in order to fuse them, one would need a tool. For now, Chen Feng did not know what that tool was. The only clue he had was in the Mirage Immortal Palace.
It had been many years since the Mirage Immortal Palace had appeared. Even if it did, given his current level of strength, it would be hard for him to protect himself in the periphery.
All the problems returned to the starting point: advancing to Martial Sage. Without advancing to Martial Sage, everything else was just empty talk.
Xiao Chen hoped that when he returned to the Haotian Realm, there would be news from Ying Qiong. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to advance to Martial Sage within a year.
Xiao Chen had only been in the Kunlun Realm for a mere two years, and his cultivation had already soared from Martial Monarch to peak half-Sage. However, he was still slightly weaker than the geniuses of the other races.
Not to mention the others, just the matters of the Three Holy Masters meant that Xiao Chen had spent more than three years in the half-Sage realm.
After tidying up everything, Xiao Chen did not intend to remain in the Primal Chaos Domain. He intended to directly teleport to the Central Province and return to the Tianwu Domain first.
Just as Xiao Chen opened the door, urgent footsteps came from the corridor. An ordinary-looking man dressed as a waiter walked over.
"Might I ask if this is the Haotian Sect's Young Master Xiao Chen?" the waiter asked after he approached.
Xiao Chen sensed that the other party was indeed an ordinary person, someone who had not even condensed a Martial Spirit. He replied calmly, "That is me. Did someone ask you to bring a message?"
The waiter did not answer directly. The smile on his face did not change as he said, "Indeed, someone asked this lowly one to bring a message. However, would Young Master Xiao be able to prove your identity first?"
"This is my Haotian Sect identity token. It should be enough."
Xiao Chen handed over his identity token. He felt somewhat suspicious. He wondered which major faction he could find so quickly in the Primal Chaos Domain.
The waiter checked the identity token and said, "Haha! It is indeed Young Master Xiao. This is a letter that Miss Ying Qiong asked our organization to bring to you. Please take a look."
Xiao Chen felt excited. He received the letter and read it. After a while, he revealed a smile. The Flaming Sun Fruit, the Three Holy Masters Grass, and the Heaven Dragon Flower finally made some headway.
When Xiao Chen raised his head to take a look, the waiter had already taken his leave. Xiao Chen burned the letter and rushed down the stairs.
"Xiao Chen, why are you smiling so happily? What is written in the letter?" Ao Jiao asked out of curiosity from the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Without stopping, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "We are not returning to the Haotian Sect. We are going directly to the Profound Domain to look for Ying Qiong. She has already found the three main ingredients for the Breaking Sage Pill."
Ao Jiao giggled and said, "That is indeed something to be happy about. Congratulations!"
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything. Just as he was about to go down to the first floor, his expression changed slightly. Suddenly, he pulled back and hid himself in the corridor below.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xiao Chen smiled gently and said calmly, "I met an old friend. Do you still remember Zong Zhenghao? He is on the first floor of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion in Hunluo City, the evil person who took away the broken Mulberry Sword. "
Ao Jiao's expression changed. She asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that he will seek trouble for you?"
Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly. "Afraid that he will seek trouble for me? Right now, I am the one seeking trouble for him. I have long wanted to touch him in Hunluo City. It is time to take back the remaining piece of the Mulberry Sword. "
On the first floor of the inn, Zong Zhenghao, who exuded a baleful aura, wore sackcloth robes and ate expressionlessly. Based on the expression on his face, he did not seem to be having a good time recently.
Compared to Hunluo City, there were many experts in the Primal Chaos Domain. The cruelty of the environment far surpassed that of Hunluo City. The evil cultivators of the Mortal Race, Ghost Race, Deity Race, Biting Race, and Corpse Race all gathered here.
With Zong Zhenghao's cultivation as a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage, it would be impossible for him to obtain a status like that of Hunluo City.
After leaving the inn, Zong Zhenghao headed for the outskirts of the city. Along the way, he frowned a few times. However, he did not say anything. He continued walking until he reached a rather desolate area outside the city.
"Sir, after following me for so long, isn't it time to reveal your true self?"
Zong Zhenghao released a baleful aura, and a murderous intent filled his eyes. Strands of Heavenly Sage Laws came out of his body and started absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the world.
Zong Zhenghao said expressionlessly as his aura reached its peak in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
A figure flashed in the air. Xiao Chen floated down and landed on the ground. He smiled gently and said, "Sir, you have good eyes. Do you still remember me?"
"You?"
Doubt flashed in Zong Zhenghao's eyes. He quickly recalled, and the doubt in his eyes vanished. Greed flashed in his eyes as he said, "So, it is you. Are you here to deliver the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist to me? I have really troubled you. I ran to the Primal Chaos Domain, yet you still followed me."
"Sorry, I am here to take your life."
Xiao Chen took out the Universe Flags and formed hand seals. He quickly activated the formations of the seventy-two Universe Flags. The flags fluttered and quickly stabbed into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the area within a five kilometer radius was isolated by an invisible barrier, ensuring that Zong Zhenghao could not escape.
Zong Zhenghao's expression did not change at all. He coldly eyed Xiao Chen's actions, and the greed in his eyes intensified. He said, "Universe Flags. These things are extinct. Brat, you really have a lot of treasures in your hands."
"Hehe! I can use you as a sumptuous snack. I have not gained anything in the Primal Chaos Domain recently."
Zong Zhenghao's figure moved, and an overwhelming baleful aura spread out. He punched, and the black Heavenly Sage Laws behind him formed a demonic figure, making him look incredibly sinister.
The accumulations of the older-generation Martial Sages were extremely terrifying. They had more than a hundred years of cultivation. Even in terms of Cultivation Techniques and states, they could not compare to the geniuses of the younger generation.
A profound cultivation base and seasoned combat experience could make up for these shortcomings.
If Zong Zhenghao ran into another genius half-Sage, he would not be able to escape defeat as a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage. Unfortunately, he ran into Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not take a step back when facing this overwhelming punch. He executed Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending, and punched.
"Bang!"
The demonic figure behind Zong Zhenghao crumbled, and he retreated a hundred meters. His Qi and blood surged, and his expression turned strange.
In his fight with the old man with the family name Liu, Xiao Chen already had a clear understanding of the strength of a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage. He could definitely defeat his opponent with Deities Descending.
Not giving his opponent too much time to be shocked, Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber. Instantly, thunder roared, and the immortal will of thunder surged out.
After knocking back Zong Zhenghao with one punch and suppressing his aura, Xiao Chen unleashed the might of his will and completely suppressed his opponent's aura, not giving him a chance to counterattack.
Xiao Chen used the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, attacking move after move.
"Rumble …!"
Thunder roared endlessly, and the might of Xiao Chen's will pressed down. After a hundred moves, Zong Zhenghao started to look inferior to Xiao Chen's chain of attacks.
Xiao Chen did not fear clashing head-on with Zong Zhenghao's moves. Zong Zhenghao had his trump cards, but so did Xiao Chen. The three moves of the Dragon Subduing Slash completely suppressed his opponent.
Zong Zhenghao's killing moves instantly crumbled. This was especially so for the final move, Double Dragons Playing with Pearls. Xiao Chen could not dodge it, and it struck Zong Zhenghao's body.
As for the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, a Saber Technique with a might no weaker than a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, it was executed casually by Xiao Chen. He was very familiar with it. It was like he was executing an ordinary Saber Technique without pause.
After another hundred moves, Zong Zhenghao felt that his internal injuries could no longer endure, and he wanted to retreat. However, Xiao Chen relied on his Rank 2 Sage Body and looked much better than Zong Zhenghao.
