It looked like the Thunder Emperor's path was no longer useful as a reference. It could not help him at all.
My personal suggestion is that you focus on the saber soul and help the saber soul swallow up the will. Use the will to strengthen the saber soul. In the future, the improvement of the will will strengthen the saber soul. As your Saber Techniques improve, you can also improve the will.
Think about it. You cultivate the physical body, Mental Energy, and Saber Techniques. No matter which one it is, it is not simple. When you reach the peak, you will be unrivaled everywhere.
As the saying goes, biting off more than one can chew. You might as well focus on Saber Techniques. With your talent, your strength will soar in a short time.
Ao Jiao continued to speak, voicing her opinion.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. He had not expected this. He simply wanted to refine the will of thunder that the Thunder King left behind into something he was good at.
However, it involved such a complicated discussion.
Ao Jiao's words were easy to understand. Focusing on Saber Techniques meant spending all the time on the physical body, Mental Energy, and Fist Techniques on Saber Techniques.
With so much time, it would be hard for his strength not to rise.
However, this way, his final accomplishments would be equal to the Thunder King and the Qing Emperor. It would be very difficult to surpass them. This was not what Xiao Chen wanted.
With this idea in mind, Xiao Chen slowly merged the two again. However, this time, he purposely helped the will, swallowing up the saber soul.
The two were originally evenly matched. After one obtained Xiao Chen's help, it immediately gained the upper hand. The saber soul struggled for a while before being absorbed into the purple Lightning Talisman.
After merging with the shape of the saber soul, the purple Lightning Talisman gained an indestructible sharpness that seemed to reign supreme.
With a thought, the purple Lightning Talisman split into four beams of golden light. Each beam of golden light was an immortal small saber.
Xiao Chen revealed a satisfied smile. The golden light returned to his forehead and merged into the purple talisman in his sea of consciousness. Then, he put on Neptune's Headscarf.
Some of the disturbing thoughts in his heart were stripped away. Xiao Chen's state of mind was like still water. Looking through his heart, he did not regret the decision he just made.
He was Xiao Chen, not the Thunder King or the Qing Emperor.
Due to his internal injuries, Xiao Chen slowed down significantly. However, by the time he returned to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, he had already recovered from most of his severe internal injuries. He was back to his peak state.
As Xiao Chen expected, Liu Ruyue did not return. Instead, he met another familiar person.
"Brother Xiao Chen, you're getting more and more awesome now. Did you bring any treasures for this Fat Lord this time?"
Kim Tae-ho had been waiting at Qingyun Peak for a long time. When he saw Xiao Chen, he immediately smiled and ran over with squinted eyes. His figure was the same as usual, still round like a ball.
When Xiao Chen saw Kim Tae-ho, he was rather happy. When he heard what Kim Tae-ho said, he smiled faintly and said calmly, "My things are not good enough for you, right? I heard that the Golden Roc Merchant Association has monopolized most of the business in the Sky Dome Realm."
Kim Tae-ho waved his folding fan and chuckled, "It's just a small business, not worth mentioning."
The two chatted in the courtyard for a long time, sharing their experiences. When Fatso heard Xiao Chen talk about the various things in the Kunlun Realm, his eyes lit up. However, after that, he became sad, feeling very conflicted.
"Xiao Chen, given this Fat Lord's intelligence, do you think I can make a name for myself in the Kunlun Realm?" Kim Tae-ho asked in a soft voice after holding back for a long time.
Xiao Chen was speechless. He nearly spat out a mouthful of wine. It is best if you don't go. Just stay in the Sky Dome Realm and harm others.
In the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen had suffered enough at the hands of this fellow. If the Underwear Maniac went to the Kunlun Realm, he might bring him some trouble.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen said very sincerely, "I feel that it is better for you to stay in the Sky Dome Realm. Those geniuses and old monsters in the Kunlun Realm are not on the same level as you. There is no point."
When Fatso heard this, he could not help but sigh. He picked up his wine cup and drained it in one go. He said, "Great minds think alike. There are not many people in this world who can keep up with my thoughts. Today, you, Xiao Chen, are one of them."
"Never mind, I won't go then. I have been lonely in the Sky Dome Realm for too long. Even after going to the Kunlun Realm, I will still be this lonely. This is really boring. It looks like this Fat Lord is destined to be lonely for the rest of my life."
Fatso revealed a somewhat sad expression. If he changed his face, he might be able to attract many young girls who liked this kind of aura.
After finally dispelling Fatso's thoughts of going to the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Chen thought about something else. He asked, "Brother Dabao, is there a way to enter the Sky Dome Immortal Realm?"
Fatso felt it was strange. He asked, "Why would I go in there? The Great Tang Nation's Royal Court invited me several times, but I never went. It is too dangerous in there. It is filled with all sorts of mutated Immortal Spirits and wild beasts. The competition between the various Royal Courts is also very intense. If I am not careful, I will suffer a lot. "
Xiao Chen felt excited. It looked like this Kim Tae-ho did have a way to enter the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. In that case, he would not have to think of any other way to enter the Sky Dome Immortal Realm.
The environment inside was not as simple as the Great Qin Nation's protector said. This made Xiao Chen even more determined to enter.
"Tell me, what is going on with this Sky Dome Immortal Realm?"
Fatso chuckled and said, "About that … I have yet to see Brother Xiao Chen's greeting gift."
In his rush, Xiao Chen forgot about this Fatso's temper. He tossed out an Astral Coin and said, "This is a priceless treasure of the Kunlun Realm. One is worth half a Rank 8 sect."
Kim Tae-ho picked it up and looked at it suspiciously for a long time. However, he could not make out anything.
However, when he saw Xiao Chen's calm appearance, he pretended to be an expert. He said, "This is good stuff. I can tell with one glance that it is extraordinary. It is truly a treasure worth half a sect."
Seeing Fatso treat an Astral Coin worth a thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones like a treasure, Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. There was nothing strange about it.
Kim Tae-ho blew on that Astral Coin before rubbing it. Then, he smiled happily and said, "Brother Xiao Chen is really interesting. The more I look at this thing, the more this Fat Lord likes it. However, what exactly is it used for?"
Xiao Chen found it strange and asked, "You don't know?"
Kim Tae-ho laughed loudly and said, "How can that be? How can this Fat Lord not know such a famous thing? It is that … that … that … right?"
Xiao Chen held back his laughter and said calmly, "It is just a small thing. It is not worth much. Tell me more about the Sky Dome Immortal Realm."
When Fatso saw Xiao Chen's casual attitude, he was even more convinced that it was a treasure. He immediately explained the Sky Dome Immortal Realm in detail.
After Xiao Chen finished listening, he thought about it carefully. This Sky Dome Immortal Realm was more complicated than he had imagined.
Naturally, the Sky Dome Immortal Realm was not a true immortal realm. It was just a name given by the people of the Sky Dome Realm. The Spiritual Energy there was abundant, and there were many natural treasures.
Cultivating there would be three or four times faster than cultivating outside. However, it was still not comparable to the Kunlun Realm.
The Sky Dome Immortal Realm was an independent small world, about a tenth of the size of the Tianwu Continent. It could be considered very vast.
The Royal Courts of the various nations all had their own encampments there. However, most of the places were public, so they could go on adventures together.
Rumor had it that that was the true residence of the Sky Dome Immortal Lord. Everything in the outside world, including the Tianwu Continent and the Boundless Sea, had slowly evolved from the Sky Dome Immortal Realm over a long period of time.
There were many Immortal beasts that the Sky Dome Immortal Lord casually reared. After they mutated and multiplied, they became ferocious beasts without any Spiritual Energy.
However, the Spirit Cores in their bodies still contained some Immortal Qi. After removing the impurities and absorbing them, their cultivation would increase significantly.
The ferocious beasts were very strong. Some of them were even as strong as Superior Grade Martial Sages of the Kunlun Realm. In the Sky Dome Immortal Realm, they were existences that could not be offended.
Aside from the Immortal beasts that the Sky Dome Immortal Lord once reared, there were also some ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Plants. Some of these Spirit Plants gained intelligence and could even cultivate.
The most famous Spirit Plant in there was called the Longevity Tree. Rumor had it that the Sky Dome Immortal Lord cultivated under this tree in the past.
The Longevity Tree could bear Longevity Fruits. The Longevity Fruits could not truly make people live forever. However, they could easily increase a cultivator's lifespan.
One Longevity Fruit could increase a cultivator's lifespan by one hundred years. However, it was only effective the first time one consumed it.
The thing that truly attracted cultivators was not the Longevity Fruit but the seven-colored Auspicious Signs that would descend from the sky when the Longevity Fruit ripened.
Auspicious Signs were graded by color. The more colors there were, the higher the grade. Seven-colored Auspicious Signs were second only to eight-colored and nine-colored Auspicious Signs.
Above nine-colored Auspicious Signs were the legendary Heavenly Signs. Heavenly Signs would only appear when a Sovereign Martial Emperor or an Emperor Grade Medicinal Pill bore fruit like the Undying Tree. Even the Kunlun Realm's Martial Sages could not wait for such good things.
A seven-colored auspicious sign was already of a very high level. It contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The Spiritual Energy contained in it was even purer than a Rank 3 Spirit Vein's origin. Just one strand of it could allow one's cultivation to soar. Furthermore, there were no side effects; there would not be the situation of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm.
The Longevity Fruit ripened once every five thousand years. This time, it happened to be the time for it to ripen.
Not only were the younger generation of the various Royal Courts eager to try, but even some of the old antiques with unfathomable cultivations who were nearing the end of their lifespans made a move.
Naturally, the younger generation sought the seven-colored Auspicious Signs, while the older generation sought the Longevity Fruit. Everyone took what they needed.
However, resources were limited. Be it the seven-colored Auspicious Signs or the Longevity Fruit, there would not be many of them. The competition between them was easy to imagine.
"Strange, these Longevity Fruits and seven-colored Auspicious Signs should be very attractive to you, right? Why do you not seem interested at all?"
Xiao Chen asked suspiciously as he looked at Kim Tae-ho, who was still thinking about the Astral Coin.
Kim Tae-ho carefully blew on the Astral Coin a few times. Then, he smiled and said, "With this Fat Lord's intelligence, how can these people understand me? There is no chance at all. Why would I want to get involved?"
"What do you mean?"
Kim Tae-ho chuckled and said, "Of the five nations, the Great Jin Nation's Royal Court is the strongest. The other four nations combined are not as strong as them. The Great Jin Nation sends out experts, princes, princesses, and young geniuses that join the Royal Court.
"We can only walk to the Longevity Tree. There is a huge storm in the sky, and there are countless ferocious beasts along the way. The people of the four nations will have to fight their way over bitterly. Furthermore, they will have to deal with the strong Great Jin Nation's Royal Court. What chance do they have? "
