As time went by, Xiao Chen was not considered to be much stronger than the Three Holy Masters among the younger generation of the Tianwu Domain. However, if Xiao Chen succeeded in being conferred King and traveled the world as the Blue Dragon King, the situation would be different.
To Xiao Hou Jue, who wanted to rule the Tianwu Domain's younger generation, Xiao Chen would be a great threat.
Xiao Chen personally made a move to test out Xiao Chen's strength.
Xiao Chen was currently in a crucial period of accumulating military merits. If he still did not have one million military merits after half a year, it would be bad if he could not be conferred King.
Hence, Xiao Chen's appearance surprised Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen returned to the Dragon's Gate's warship, Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Chen rushing back.
Kim Tae-ho fanned himself and said, "Old Brother Xiao Chen, how many people did you offend? The moment you went out, you ran into such a horrifying person."
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything. He had offended so many people that even he could not count them.
"Who is this person?" Lord Jiu asked out of curiosity.
"The White Emperor City's Holy Son, Xiao Hou Jue."
Lord Jiu sighed and said, "Young Master Xiao, the number of people you offended is truly incredible. The White Emperor City's Holy Lord is one of the strongest people in the entire Kunlun Realm."
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. He said, "Lord Jiu, you have lived for more than two hundred years already. Do you know how many people in our Kunlun Continent can truly reach the peak?"
Xiao Chen had only been in the Kunlun Realm for six years. He had been busy cultivating and did not know much about this.
Kim Tae-ho also looked at Old Jiu with great interest. Obviously, anyone would be interested in these legendary figures.
Lord Jiu revealed a cocky expression. He smiled and said, "You youngsters really do not know much about such matters. This Lord Jiu is not clear on the situation of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, so I will not talk about it. I will only talk about the five strongest people of the Kunlun Realm's five Domains: the Tianwu Domain's Thunder King, the Fiend Domain's The Fox King, the Ghost Race's Dongyue Ghost Emperor, the Corpse Race's Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the Deity Race's Emperor Forsaken.
"These five people can be considered the strongest experts of the Kunlun Realm. As for the others, like the Primal Chaos Domain's number one loose cultivator, the Heavenly Evil King, and the Profound Domain's Saber Sword Two Sovereigns, they are slightly weaker."
Lord Jiu chatted excitedly, telling Xiao Chen about the legendary deeds of these people. Xiao Chen listened very carefully, feeling a boundless yearning in his heart.
Finally, Lord Jiu said, "In the Heavenly Starry Ocean, there are some people who are comparable to these five people. This Lord Jiu only knows of the Myriad Fiend Palace's Myriad-Law Fiend Master. I am not sure about the others, so I do not have much say."
The Heavenly Starry Ocean did indeed have people who were comparable to these people. As far as Xiao Chen knew, the Palace Master of the Zodiac Hall should not be weaker than these five people.
The Thunder King, the Fox King, the Dongyue Ghost Emperor, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and Emperor Forsaken. Xiao Chen wondered how strong these five people were. Right now, he probably did not even have the chance to meet them.
The Fox King … Xiao Chen suddenly recalled that the last time he met Bai, he seemed to have heard that the Fox King had adopted her as his daughter.
At that time, Xiao Chen did not know how strong the Fox King was. Now that he heard Lord Jiu say that the Fox King was comparable to the Thunder King and the others, he finally understood how fortunate Bai was.
Cultivate! Cultivate!
Otherwise, the next time Xiao Chen met Bai, if he could not even compare to Bai, he would truly have failed.
The Dragon's Gate's warship continued to move forward. Xiao Chen stopped chatting and sat at the bow, preparing to use the time on the way to complete the Spring Saber of Flawless Four Seasons.
Xiao Chen had already experienced the might of the completed Winter Saber long ago. If he comprehended all four seasons, then this Flawless Four Seasons might not even be weaker than the Subduing Dragon Profound Slash.
For some reason, Kim Tae-ho started thinking about the black goods on Lord Jiu. He kept pestering Lord Jiu, asking him to sell the black goods and hand them over to him to manage. Then, Lord Jiu guaranteed a tenfold profit.
Xiao Chen continuously bragged about his glorious deeds in the Sky Dome Realm, which actually tempted Lord Jiu.
Half a month later, spring thunder suddenly roared in the sky above the Dragon's Gate's warship, shaking the Dragon's Gate's warship.
Inside the warship's hold, Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu were discussing their grand business plans, looking very spirited. When they heard spring thunder, they quickly rushed out.
The moment the two went out, they smelled a fragrant flower fragrance. Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu were shocked to see that their surroundings had turned into a peach blossom forest. Peach trees covered the ground, and peach blossoms filled the branches before them.
When the spring wind blew, boundless peach blossoms formed a beautiful land.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in the depths of the peach blossom forest. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and heard a melodious saber hum. The peach blossom forest vanished, leaving only a section in Xiao Chen's palm.
Using spring thunder as a guide, Xiao Chen made peach blossoms bloom for five kilometers around. After half a month, he finally figured out the final hurdle and completed the Spring Saber.
Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the section of peach blossoms in his hand. Then, he smiled faintly and tossed it to the sky.
"Keng qiang!"
The peach blossom branch, which was only half the length of an arm, shattered. Boundless peach blossoms danced in the air, carrying a boundless saber intent. Every petal was a lethal weapon.
With a thought, Xiao Chen stopped in satisfaction. The peach blossoms vanished, but the fragrance lingered in the air. Compared to the sharp Winter Saber, the Spring Saber was much gentler.
However, this might, as well as the range of the ripples, the peach blossoms for five kilometers around, would not be any weaker than the Winter Saber.
"Have we arrived at the Profound Domain?"
Xiao Chen asked Kim Tae-ho and Lord Jiu as he turned around. Given the speed of the Dragon's Gate's warship, they should have arrived by now.
"We arrived three days ago," Lord Jiu answered.
Xiao Chen took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Dabao. "This is a letter that I personally wrote. The two of you take this letter and go to the Ying Clan to look for Ying Qiong. There should not be any problems dealing with that batch of illicit goods."
To Ying Qiong, this was just a small matter. She did not even need to personally make a move.
Xiao Chen had more important things to do, so he did not want to waste time on this.
"Young Master Xiao, you are not coming with us?" Lord Jiu asked, finding it strange.
Xiao Chen placed a finger mark on Kim Tae-ho's forehead. Then, he said, "I still have something to do. I'll lend you this warship for now. After I'm done, I'll meet up with you."
After Xiao Chen spoke, he jumped off the bow of the warship.
Kim Tae-ho checked himself and discovered that he could already control the Dragon's Gate's warship. He could roughly guess what Xiao Chen was going to do, so he could understand Xiao Chen's urgency.
Smiling mischievously, Kim Tae-ho snatched Xiao Chen's letter while Lord Jiu was not on his back. Then, he said, "Remember to listen to me when you go to the Ying Clan. This Fat Lord is an expert in this aspect. You can just be this Fat Lord's manservant. That way, you won't give yourself away and get the price pushed down."
Lord Jiu felt somewhat confused. Was he the one selling the goods or Fatso the one selling the goods? How did he become the manservant?
…
Situ Leihong was the most famous forger in the Profound Domain, a grandmaster who could forge Sub-Divine Weapons.
Xiao Chen followed the address that First Senior Sister gave him and unfurled the Freedom Wings. He flew past mountains, rivers, and cities. When he arrived at a mountain manor at the summit of a tall mountain, he put away the Freedom Wings and landed.
The mountain manor was not big, and the signboard was not obvious. However, the queue at the entrance stretched as far as the eye could see, stretching all the way to the bottom of the mountain. All of them were cultivators seeking a master to forge swords for them.
Xiao Chen landed at the side. As he held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand, he was flabbergasted. He discovered that there was no lack of grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
He even saw two or three great grandmaster-level Martial Sages obediently lining up at the back without any complaints.
Such a lineup completely surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. He could not help but wonder. Is what First Senior Sister said reliable or not? Can I really enter just by relying on my identity token?
The main gate was tightly shut; only a small door at the side was open. The cultivators in line all stood in front of the small door, knocking on the door until they reached the foot of the mountain.
They stood about three meters apart from each other, waiting anxiously.
Strange, why is no one knocking on the door?
"Where did this little fellow come from? He is holding a saber and running to the Sword Forging Peak. Is he here to cause trouble?"
As Xiao Chen stood outside the line, it would be hard for him to not attract attention from a group of swordsmen while holding the Lunar Shadow Saber. Not long after Xiao Chen landed, someone started berating him.
Since ancient times, the debate between the saber and the sword had never ceased.
The saber was different from other weapons. The saber was born from the sword. There were swords and sabers in the world. With such a direct relationship, it was hard to avoid comparisons between the two.
Out of respect for the Master, Xiao Chen did not want to cause trouble here. His priority was to revive Ao Jiao.
Xiao Chen looked at the person who spoke. That person carried a one-meter-long sword and wore purple robes. His hair was tied into a bun, and there were two strands of purple scarves fluttering in the wind, looking elegant and free.
This person was not more than forty years old. He could be considered an outstanding talent of the younger generation. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a strong sense of sharpness in them.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Although I am a bladesman, I do not have any intention of competing with swords here. I am here to ask Master Situ for a favor and am not being disrespectful."
However, the purple-robed swordsman smiled coldly and said, "Look at the swordsmen on this mountain. They are all here on foot to ask Master Situ to forge a sword. No one makes a ruckus, no one makes a fuss, and no one dares to fly down from the sky.
"There are even great grandmaster-level experts lining up respectfully at the foot of the mountain. You, a bladesman, descending from the sky is very impressive. However, if this is not disrespect, then what is? "
The other swordsmen in the line glared at the purple-robed swordsman. They were already upset that someone descended from the sky. Furthermore, this person was a bladesman. Naturally, they were even more upset.
Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber and performed a cupped-fist salute. "Sorry, I did not know there was such a rule here. I will go down the mountain and line up. After I enter, I will personally apologize to Master Situ."
"The Master only sees five people a day and only forges one sword a month. You, a bladesman, are here to join in the fun? You want to take up our spots? Scram, "the purple-robed swordsman ignored Xiao Chen's concession and aggressively chased him away.
"I am not here to forge a sword. There is no need to misunderstand."
Xiao Chen's hand, which held the Lunar Shadow Saber, trembled slightly. However, he did not get angry in the end. After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
Xiao Chen did not want to lose the hope that he had obtained after so much difficulty.
"How stubborn! I told you to scram, not to leave!"
The purple-robed swordsman shouted coldly, and a light flickered under his feet. A magnificent sword formation formed, and hundreds of purple sword Qi flew out from the formation. The sword Qi flew around the purple-robed swordsman, giving off a melodious hum.
A sharp sword intent immediately spread throughout the entire mountain. The grass bent over, not daring to raise its head.
