What was above a powerful Sovereign Martial Emperor? Naturally, it was the legendary Martial God.
However, everyone knew that there were no Martial Gods in the world. Even someone as strong as the Qing Emperor, unrivaled in his era, was not a Martial God.
Even someone like the Thunder King, who had lived for more than ten thousand years and was publicly recognized as the strongest expert in the world, was not a Martial God.
Situ Leihong could tell from Ying Zongtian's words that he was very ambitious. Even powerful experts like the Thunder King and Emperor Forsaken had not become his goal.
"Could it be that you want to become a Martial God? Your goal is too unrealistic."
Ying Zongtian withdrew the smile on his face. His tone turned somewhat grave as he said, "Martial God? I have never thought of it before. After accumulating for a thousand years, I have already reached my limits. Even after exhausting all my potential, I will only reach the level of Emperor Forsaken. I only want to know what kind of cultivation realm Martial God is.
"The ancient Sages were too ruthless. If they left, then so be it. In the end, they did not even leave behind a word. They even erased all traces of themselves in the Kunlun Realm, not leaving any information behind, abandoning the entire Kunlun Realm.
"I have nothing else to ask for in this life. I just want to know what kind of existence that cultivation realm is. I only want one person to reach that realm. Don't be too ruthless. Just tell me what kind of cultivation realm it is. "
Situ Leihong could hear the sorrow in Ying Zongtian's words. After accumulating for a thousand years, if he became a Sovereign Personage, he would immediately become an expert on the level of the Sword Sovereign or the Saber Sovereign, even stronger than the Three Holy Masters.
However, even such a talented person still filled his heart with doubts. Even Situ Leihong himself could not be sure if there were Martial Gods in this world.
He could not be sure if there was a peak above the peak. Was the end of the Martial Epoch a dead end?
This was the sorrow in Ying Zongtian's heart. However, it was also the sorrow of all the cultivators in the Kunlun Realm.
What was a dead end? You had to put in a lot of effort, cutting your way through brambles and thorns, climbing your way up, experiencing hundreds of battles, undergoing nine tribulations.
However, even standing at the peak, you still could not escape death. So what if someone as strong as the Thunder King did not die for ten thousand years? In the end, he still remained in seclusion, staring at the sky and waiting for death.
Why was it that the path ahead was already at an end, no path left to walk? Above the peak, there was no undying existence.
Situ Leihong waved his hand and said, "Let's change the topic. This topic is too depressing."
Ying Tianzong smiled and said, "You want the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Flame Crystal and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Essence Iron to forge the Flawless Sword, right? How is it going? Let me see."
An object that looked like a fire stick appeared in Situ Leihong's mind. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's continue. This topic is rather heavy."
"In that case, I will get down to business. You helped Liu Xiaoyun forge his Divine Weapon. He still owes you a favor, right? Give him to me. Get him to protect me and successfully advance to Sovereign Martial Emperor. "
Situ Leihong cursed, "Damn, you are really ruthless. This is what I use to save my life. Rather than talking about this, you might as well talk about the Flawless sword."
Situ Leihong's swordsmithing skills were unparalleled in the world. Any faction that obtained his swordsmithing skills would benefit them greatly. Who knew how many experts had designs on him?
Naturally, Situ Leihong was able to survive until now because he helped others forge swords and received many favors. Of all these, his greatest reliance was the Sword Sovereign, Liu Xiaoyun.
Everyone knew that the Divine Weapon in the Sword Sovereign's hand was forged by Situ Leihong. If anyone dared to touch him, they would definitely suffer the revenge of the Sword Sovereign, Liu Xiaoyun.
Ying Zongtian smiled and said, "Little Lei, are you being silly again? After I become a Sovereign Martial Emperor, do I still need Liu Xiaoyun to protect you?"
"That's right. After a thousand years of accumulations, once you advance to Sovereign Martial Emperor, you will not be inferior to Liu Xiaoyun," Situ Leihong said in understanding.
"Let's go. It's settled, then."
Space fluctuated, and Ying Zongtian vanished from the hall. Everything returned to normal, as if he had never been there.
Situ Leihong felt somewhat confused as he said, "Why do I feel like I got cheated?"
"He's coming out! Xiao Chen is coming out!"
The gates of the manor opened. Before the doorman's respectful gaze, a white figure appeared before everyone.
A bladesman actually managed to enter the Sword Forging Manor. Furthermore, Master Situ invited him in from the main gates. Everyone's gazes were filled with one word: jealousy.
Diao Jintao stepped forward and blocked Xiao Chen, who had just stepped out of the steps. He glared at Xiao Chen angrily.
"Brat, it is time to settle the debt between us."
After obtaining the method to save Ao Jiao, Xiao Chen was in a good mood. When facing this unreasonable Diao Jintao, he started to think of other ways to deal with this.
Xiao Chen needed to search for the Soul Returning Grass, the Paramita Flower, and the Three Life Stone. In the Profound Domain, he had already offended the Medicine God Valley's people. If he offended another great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, it would be somewhat problematic.
Even if Xiao Chen could leave now, it would not be a solution if Xiao Chen found news of him in the future and chased after him.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and thought of a countermeasure. He said, "Old sir, there is no need to make things difficult for this little friend. As the saying goes, it is better to squash enmity than keep it alive. There is no deep hatred between us. I merely touched your nephew lightly."
Ouyang Feng wanted to vomit blood in his heart. What do you mean by touched lightly? You beat me until I cannot get out of bed for half a year.
Diao Jintao said coldly, "Are you joking? Do you think that you can settle this matter with just a few words? "
Xiao Chen hugged the Lunar Shadow Saber and smiled calmly. "Not at all. Old sir's cultivation is deep and surging. Your sword Qi is like a great river, and your peak sword intent is boundlessly sharp. I wonder how old you are?"
Diao Jintao felt slightly pleased. "This old man has cultivated for four hundred years. How can you compare to me? It will be easy for me to keep you here."
Xiao Chen said regretfully, "In that case, you only have a hundred years left to live."
Martial Sages could live for up to five hundred years. As long as there were no accidents, like a problem with their cultivation, getting severely injured by their enemies, or using a forbidden Martial Technique, they could live to five hundred years old.
Five hundred years was a long time for the people of the mundane world. However, to cultivators, especially strong cultivators, it could only be said in one sentence: there would always be an end.
If one could not break through to the Blue Robed Emperor realm and extend one's lifespan to a thousand years, no matter how unfathomable one's strength was, one would eventually turn to dust.
This was especially so for people like Diao Jintao, who had reached great grandmaster-level Martial Sage but was still a distance away from the Blue Robed Emperor realm. Their yearning for the mundane world far surpassed that of cultivators of other cultivation realms.
Xiao Chen's words immediately exposed Diao Jintao's weakness. His rage flared up in an instant.
"Old sir, there is no need to get angry. This Xiao is willing to use a Longevity Fruit to resolve this grudge." Xiao Chen tossed out a piece of shocking news.
The words "Longevity Fruit" immediately excited Diao Jintao. "You are saying that you have a Longevity Fruit?!"
Among the long line of swordsmen, several grandmaster-level Martial Swordsmen felt restless. Now, when they looked at Xiao Chen, they no longer had the same envious expression as before. Instead, they now had an undisguised murderous intent.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and tossed a Longevity Fruit from his Universe Ring to Diao Jintao.
Diao Jintao caught it, his eyes filled with excitement. Ouyang Feng dragged his heavily injured body to the side. He called out a few times, but Xiao Chen did not reply.
"It really is a Longevity Fruit. A Longevity Fruit that can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years. Hahaha! Now, I might have hope of breaking through to the Blue Robed Emperor realm."
Diao Jintao could not help laughing out loud as his emotions surged. Then, he quickly put away the Longevity Fruit.
"Uncle, you won't abandon this nephew's grudge just because of a Longevity Fruit, right?" Ouyang Feng could not help feeling anxious when he saw Diao Jintao's overjoyed expression.
Diao Jintao put away the Longevity Fruit and reprimanded with a stern expression, "How can you say that? You repeatedly made things difficult for Young Master Xiao, insulting him and attacking him. Xiao Chen only gently touched you. He is so magnanimous, yet you are not grateful. Instead, you talk about a grudge. I feel ashamed for your father. "
After that, Diao Jintao turned around and performed a cupped-fist salute. "Young Master Xiao, my nephew was wrong in today's matter. As his senior, I apologize to you."
This time, Ouyang Feng was truly angered to the point of vomiting blood. Without miraculous medicine, I will not be able to recover in half a year. What do you mean by gently touching me?
Ouyang Feng raged in his heart. He said angrily, "Uncle, can you be more shameless? He just called you an old fogey and called you blind."
"Pa!"
Right after Ouyang Feng spoke, Diao Jintao slapped him across the face. "Pa!" Ouyang Feng flew back and rolled down the mountain like a rock.
Ouyang Feng had just suppressed his internal injuries. Now, he was in so much pain that he hovered between life and death. His miserable cries filled the entire mountain, a tragic sight to behold.
An outstanding youth filled with confidence came here to seek a fate with swords. In the end, he ended up in such a state, getting slapped away by his own uncle. This made one sigh.
Diao Jintao felt depressed. This Ouyang Feng was really not on the right path. Even now, he still could not see the situation clearly. I gave Ouyang Feng a way out of this embarrassing situation, yet he ended up blaming me.
One Longevity Fruit was one hundred years of lifespan. Two hundred years of lifespan. So what if he was called an old blind man? No matter how harsh the insult was, he would still accept it.
Furthermore, what Xiao Chen said was right. There was no deep hatred. It was better to squash enmity than keep it alive.
Diao Jintao turned around and revealed a smile like the spring breeze to Xiao Chen. "Young Master Xiao, it's time to go. This old man will prepare a generous gift for your King conferral ceremony half a year from now. If you are fortunate enough to break through to the Blue Robed Emperor realm, I will definitely thank you again. "
"Damn! How shameless!"
"Shameless! Truly shameless!"
"He is a great grandmaster-level swordsman. How can he change his mind at a whim, falling out with him at a whim?"
The group of young swordsmen immediately started cursing, feeling that Ouyang Feng was not worthy of this.
However, the group of old grandmaster-level Martial Sages had already surrounded Xiao Chen. All of them had smiles on their faces as they continuously praised Xiao Chen.
"Young Master Xiao is truly a talented person with an extraordinary air. I have been unhappy with that Ouyang Feng for a long time now. He attacked Young Master Xiao without distinguishing right from wrong. He is a scum and should be taught a ruthless lesson. Do you still have any Longevity Fruits? Can you give this old man one? "
"The White Robed King's magnanimity is indeed worth learning by the younger generation. It would be great if the younger generation could all be like the White Robed King."
"The Blue Dragon King truly lives up to his reputation as the Blue Dragon King. He truly lives up to being someone that Master Situ personally summoned."
All sorts of praises rained down on Xiao Chen like cannon fire, toppling mountains and overturning seas.
When these old men saw Xiao Chen casually give a Longevity Fruit to Diao Jintao, their eyes turned bloodshot with anxiety. They all spoke up, begging Xiao Chen to give them another Longevity Fruit.
Xiao Chen found it funny. These people's earlier words were still ringing in his ears. Now that he saw their performance, it was a great mockery.
