"Don't tell me there are two Martial Progenitors? Back then, he dominated the Nine Prefectures and the Four Corners of the World. He was said to be a peerless expert. Rumor has it that he once killed three otherworldly Ancestor Gods by himself. He is one of the few heaven-defying characters in history. "
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a cup of wine. He did not believe that Xiao Chen did not know about the Martial Progenitor. There must be more to it than meets the eye.
"Could it be that the Martial Progenitor Sutra appeared in Yandu?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wu Ming doubtfully. If there really was such a sutra, this scheming guy would not tell him about it.
"Of course, it is absolutely true."
Wu Ming gave a definite answer.
This was definitely a major event. The appearance of the Martial Progenitor Sutra would definitely cause a huge commotion. This was a sutra left behind by an outstanding Ancestor God. Its value was immeasurable!
"Doesn't that mean that Yandu will become a place where the wind and clouds gather?"
"Of course."
Wu Ming smiled and said, "Many cultivators have already entered the Ancient Capital. These are my son's friends. They also want to try their luck."
As he spoke, he pointed at Wu Xiaoshi and the others.
"Oh, you don't seem to be afraid of the news leaking out. Aren't you afraid of attracting strong competitors?"
Xiao Chen poured himself a cup and looked at Wu Ming.
Wu Ming seemed to be very depressed. He drank the wine in his cup and said, "I am not fated to learn the Martial Progenitor Sutra."
"Why is that?"
Wu Ming seemed to be unwilling to accept the reason. He said, "To be honest, I really have the urge to curse. I was looked down on by the Martial Progenitor Sutra, or rather, ridiculed."
Xiao Chen was startled. He said, "Wait, did you say that the Martial Progenitor Sutra is a living creature?"
"That's right. It is a living creature with a consciousness. It is hazy, like a beam of green light."
Wu Ming squeezed the cup in his hand and said, "It actually mocked me, saying that my talent is ordinary and I am not qualified to learn the Martial Progenitor Sutra."
Wu Ming was one of the strongest among the Heavenly Kings. He was rated as one of the three to five most outstanding cultivators in the past five hundred years. However, he was looked down on by a sutra.
"The evaluation he gave me was that my aptitude is only seen once in five hundred years, which is far from his requirements."
Upon saying this, even Wu Ming could not help but feel the urge to curse when faced with the temptation of the peerless treasure, the Martial Progenitor True Scriptures. Even a talent that could only be seen once every five hundred years was eliminated, how many people in the past could meet the requirements? He felt that this was deliberately making things difficult.
After Xiao Chen heard this, he laughed without any sympathy.
At the side, Wu Xiaoshi and the others were gnashing their teeth in anger. This was just too arrogant. He was actually taking joy in others' misfortune. It really made them want to attack.
Wu Ming remained calm and said, "You won't be chosen either. The Martial Progenitor's True Scriptures once said that if I'm a pure martial artist, I can reluctantly pass on the true meaning to me. Since you're cultivating a Divine Ability, you're obviously not a pure martial artist. Of course, there's no fate between you and me."
Xiao Chen laughed loudly, not because he rejoiced in Wu Ming's misfortune but because he now knew what the Martial Ancestor's True Scripture was. Back then, Xiao Chen was in an even more miserable state than Wu Ming. He had been ruthlessly looked down on and dealt a blow. His physique, which only appeared once every twenty years, was evaluated as terrible.
That's right, the so-called Martial Ancestor's True Scripture was definitely that Martialist Mark.
However, Xiao Chen was no longer the same as before. His potential was limitless. If he reunited with the Martialist Mark now, he would definitely not receive the same evaluation as before.
The Nirvana Realm was a watershed. After crossing this threshold, everything would change greatly.
After crossing the threshold of the Nirvana Realm, those with outstanding talent and those with ordinary talent might become even more extraordinary or even more mediocre.
However, there were exceptions to everything.
There were also those with ordinary performance in the past. After experiencing the Nirvana Realm, their true potential might surface. It would be like being reborn from the flames. From then on, they would shine brightly and have limitless potential. That would prove that their true potential had been buried in the past.
As for those with extraordinary performance in the past, after undergoing the Nirvana Realm, they would lose their luster and fade into the crowd. That would prove that their past glory was just a waste of their potential.
There were too many examples of the weak rising to the top. It was unknown how many of the so-called top ten experts of the Shang Empire and the Roman Empire were left. Almost all of them had faded into the crowd.
And Chu Xingkuang, who was not among the top ten experts back then, had grasped the Destiny Twin Divine Ability. After experiencing the Nirvana Realm, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Other than the Absolute Blade and a few others, he had already left the "top ten experts" far behind him.
Naturally, Xiao Chen was also a very obvious example. In the past, he was evaluated as a talent that only appeared once in twenty years. After undergoing the Nirvana Realm, his true potential slowly surfaced.
And there were many stronger examples. Compared to the Golden Lion King, Zhao Chongyang, and the others, they definitely advanced rapidly. In the end, they were enveloped by the halo of absolute talent.
"The Martial Ancestor's True Scripture, it actually came out on its own. I wonder who will be able to obtain it this time."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself. It was very obvious that the Martial Soul should be the inheritor of the True Scripture in name. This time, he did not know who would be chosen.
That sentient azure light was hiding in the ancestral root of the Yan Capital. It released the news, attracting practitioners from all over to come here to choose the inheritor.
Without a doubt, it would lead to a huge storm.
This flower viewing platform was worthy of being called the number one pavilion. The beautiful scenery of the garden was panoramic.
The waterfall and flowing spring in the garden adorned the flowers, trees, and pavilions. It made this beautiful scenery even more lively. The long bridge was like a soaring white jade dragon, adding a kind of charm to the scenery.
In this cold winter, the pavilions were verdant and lush. Hundreds of flowers competed with each other, and the spiritual spring was gurgling. It was exceptionally beautiful. As a result, it attracted a lot of tourists. It was truly one of the world's best scenic spots.
"Brother Xiao, if there's anything you need from me, just tell me. Even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, I will not even frown."
Wu Ming looked like he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. His words were very sincere. Whether it was from the bottom of his heart or not, who knew.
Xiao Chen immediately smiled and personally poured a cup of fine wine for him. He said, "You know that I don't visit you for no reason. I do indeed have something to ask of you. I want your Weapon Refining Sect to help me repair a few divine weapons."
"Oh, what kind of divine weapons are they? I think the treasures that Brother Xiao values must be extraordinary."
"Clang … …"
A light flashed, and Xiao Chen placed the three swords on the jade table. He said, "It's these broken swords."
Wu Ming immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. How could he not recognize the swords in front of him? This was a terrifying divine weapon that could pierce through the Immortal Heavenly Divine Bell. Back then, he had suffered greatly because of it.
Now, it was actually broken. It was truly inconceivable.
The expressions of Wu Xiaoshi and the others changed as well. Although they had not personally seen it before, they had heard too many rumors about it.
"It's hard to imagine how they were damaged. I think even a half-step Martial Ancestor would not have the strength to destroy them."
Wu Ming frowned and said, "It's not that I am not willing to help. It's just that this kind of divine weapon is too heaven-defying. It exceeds the limits of my Weapon Refining Sect. I'm afraid there is no hope of repairing it."
"I would like to borrow your Weapon Refining Sect's manual to take a look. Is that possible?"
Xiao Chen raised this request and added, "I will not look at your cultivation methods. I will only look at the refining manual. Don't worry, I will not look at it for nothing."
"This … …"
Wu Ming's expression was somewhat unsightly.
"I am serious. I really want to take a look."
Speaking until here, although Xiao Chen appeared to be very calm, he naturally revealed an "aura". This was a formless aura. It immediately made Wu Xiaoshi and the other young men feel a strong pressure. They could not help but be overwhelmed with shock.
"Alright, I will report to the elder."
Wu Ming cursed in his heart. He had no choice but to agree first.
Just at this time, Torty, who had not been seen for many years, went up to the flower viewing platform. This guy did not change much. His long golden hair was glistening.
He reeked of alcohol. He greeted Xiao Chen nervously at first, then he said with a slurred tongue, "Just now … I accompanied an esteemed guest to drink a few more cups. I was late, I … accept the punishment."
After saying that, he punished himself by drinking three cups. It was very obvious that this guy was drunk. After drinking three cups of wine, he immediately grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and did not let go. He said with a lisp, "Brother, do you think … it is easy for me? I was sold … sold several times by Chrysus. Now, this stutterer has appeared again. I … # @ > > # @%! "
"Don't worry, I will let him know this time. He won't make things difficult for you."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Actually, the two of you are quite similar. Both have a pair of peach blossom eyes. Both are so … charming like jade."
He really did not know how to describe these two guys. In the end, he only evaluated them as "romantic characters". When Torty heard this, it was as if he had met a bosom friend. He drunkenly confided in Xiao Chen, "I have a big wish. That is … to sell the stutterer a few times! I … didn't I tell others that he was thirteen seconds back then? But it was not me who said it first. It was Oxman who spread it. I heard it was the truth. "
"You blabbermouth."
Zhuge fatty patted his shoulder and said, "The stutterer is very vengeful. Pay more attention in the future."
Snowflakes suddenly floated down from the sky. They landed on the lush green garden, creating a kind of artistic conception.
And at this time, the banquet had already ended. Xiao Chen and Wu Ming tore through the space and entered the world of cultivation.
Xiao Chen wanted to repair his sword as soon as possible. Whether he could form a sword formation or not was related to his future combat power.
In the cultivation world, there were many immortal mountains and spirit veins. There were beautiful mountains everywhere. After flying for tens of thousands of li, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the Crafting Sect.
The enormous divine mountain was majestic and elegant. Spiritual energy was vast and mighty. Immortal cranes danced in the air on top of the mountain, and the grass was covered in jade. It was like an otherworldly pure land.
When Wu Ming entered the mountain gates, there was immediately a Celestial Child who came to welcome him. It seemed that Wu Ming's position in the Weapon Refining Sect was very high. Xiao Chen was carried by a crane to a palace in the middle of a bamboo forest to wait for news.
When the elders of the Weapon Refining Sect received Wu Ming's report and carefully examined the broken swords, they all revealed shocked expressions. They were Weapon Refining Grand Masters, so naturally, battle swords were like thunder to their ears.
"It is said that there are a total of forty-nine of these swords. When they are gathered together, they possess a heaven-defying power. If they were to fall into the hands of our Crafting School …"
Wu Ming hurriedly reminded, "Elder, our sect currently does not have a Half Martial Ancestor, and our opponent is someone who can contend against Half Martial Ancestors. We should think of a way to get rid of him."
Xiao Chen was invited to the palace at the summit of the Divine Mountain. Four Earth Penetrating realm elders received him.
"This battle sword was forged in defiance of the heavens. It is probably impossible to repair it."
"Is there really no hope at all?"
Xiao Chen did not want to give up.
"Even if we forcefully repair it, the sword formation in the sword will be reduced to nothing. The battle sword will be reduced to an ordinary Divine Weapon."
This explanation was the same as what Sky Beyond Heaven and the others guessed.
"Is there really no way to reverse this hopeless situation? Since we were able to refine it back then, why can't we repair it? "
"That is because the person who forged this battle sword is at least an Ancestor God. How can we repair such a divine item? Unless an Ancestor God does it himself."
Xiao Chen was close to despair. The conditions were too harsh; he was helpless.
"Hey, this is … an innate sword. It is not forged by humans!"
An Elder suddenly exclaimed, his expression changing again and again.
"What are you saying?"
Xiao Chen stared unblinkingly at the elder of the Weapon Refining Sect who was holding the broken sword and examining it.
"Oh, nothing."
That elder had the air of an immortal. At this moment, he was as calm as an ancient well. He placed the broken sword on the tea table.
Xiao Chen immediately smiled. It would be strange if there was an accident. If it was really sentenced to death, then there would be no hope for the perfect sword formation to reappear in the world.
"Senior, I hope you will not hide it. Please tell me."
"I just suddenly feel that this battle sword is innate and not forged by humans. Only then does it match the legend."
The elder's expression was calm as he said, "The Da Yan number is fifty, and it uses forty-nine to represent all things in the world. As for the 'one' that is not used, it represents a variable in the world. This saying is said to be related to the battle sword. Since there is a 'one' that is born from the heavens, then this battle sword is definitely not made by humans. Therefore, it is even more impossible to repair it."
"Alright then. Goodbye."
Xiao Chen stood up and turned to leave.
Wu Ming stood up to send him off.
"There is no need. I will return to the nine prefectures now. Many thanks for this."
"There is no need to thank us. We were not of much help. We are really ashamed."
Wu Ming sent Xiao Chen off.
Xiao Chen directly tore through space and left.
When Wu Ming re-entered the palace, he found that those elders were very excited.
"Unexpectedly … there really is such a thing in this world."
Seeing how the elders lost their composure, Wu Ming knew that these people must have made a major discovery at the last moment. He hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Be careful. That guy might have some suspicions. Even if the elders have made some discoveries, don't reveal your emotions right now. I am afraid that he will return."
The four elders hurriedly returned to their normal state. They began to communicate secretly with each other.
Wu Ming asked anxiously, "What kind of shocking discovery did the elders make?"
"We've discovered a huge secret!"
"What secret?"
Wu Ming felt that his breathing was a little hurried.
"Eternal Light!"
"What?"
Wu Ming felt his heartbeat quicken. He hurriedly transmitted his voice to ask, "Could it be the eternal light recorded on the last page of our sect's supreme scripture? Isn't that just a speculation? It is only a theoretical thing. Does it really exist in the world? "
"Of course. The broken swords just now have already proved it."
The elder who spoke was very excited. He secretly transmitted his voice, "Now, I finally understand why the swords are so mystical. They are sharp weapons that can kill Ancestor Gods. It turns out that they actually have a world-shaking origin. They are definitely forged from the eternal light."
"The eternal light? How can such a thing exist?"
Wu Ming didn't dare to believe it. He muttered to himself in extreme shock, "Doesn't that mean that a group of Ancestor Gods fell in the same place?"
"We must find the eternal light!"
"Read all the history books of the Nine Provinces and the Four Realms. We will definitely be able to deduce where the eternal light is buried."
Just as Wu Ming expected, Xiao Chen left and returned. He secretly saw that the few people in the palace had calm expressions and didn't have any abnormal reactions.
However, he didn't leave just like that. Instead, he hid on this sacred mountain. He knew that the elder must have some secrets that he didn't tell him.
Three days later, Xiao Chen found an opportunity to sneak into the place where the elder was in closed-door cultivation. He discovered that the elder was burying his head in all sorts of books.
Among them, there were many jade books and stone tablets. Some of the words did not belong to this era at all. They were very similar to the words of the Heavenly Books of the destroyed eras described by the Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Beyond Man.
"This old thing indeed discovered something."
Xiao Chen suddenly made a move. He used the twenty-seven swords to isolate this area and silently sealed the elder's closed-door cultivation place.
After that, Xiao Chen walked in. The Underworld Iron Battle Suit on him flickered with a cold and eerie light.
"You … how did you get in?"
Seeing Xiao Chen barge into his residence, the Weapon Refining Sect elder's heart skipped a beat. He knew that something bad had happened.
"During the Great Calamity of the False God Realm, I once killed a half-step Martial Ancestor and sent off many experts. Now, my hands are stained with blood. Today, I don't mind having another Immortal Monarch."
Xiao Chen walked into the residence step by step. His face was sharp and resolute. His black hair moved without any wind, the Underworld Iron Battle Suit flickered with a dark light, and the broken sword in his hand flickered with a scarlet light, giving the elder a strong sense of pressure.
It was a direct and simple intimidation, and it was very intimidating.
Now, Xiao Chen's name had already spread throughout the Nine Provinces and the Four Great Realms.
Two hundred years ago, he sent off an illusory half-step Martial Ancestor. One hundred and fifty years ago, he fought with the Yaksha half-step Martial Ancestor and the others in the Forbidden Sea. Not long ago, he severely injured the Asura half-step Martial Ancestor and the Skeleton Sovereign King in Western Earth, forcing them to retreat.
It could be said that Xiao Chen's ferocity spread throughout the Nine Provinces.
"What do you want?"
In this world, there was no one who did not fear death. It was just that some people were strong and some were weak.
"I am actually a very easygoing person. If others did not force me, I would never kill. However, it is different today. The sword is too important to me."
Xiao Chen stared at the elder and said, "Tell me the secret you discovered. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless and letting your blood splatter everywhere."
"I don't understand what you are saying. I am really powerless to repair the sword."
The elder of the Weapon Refining Sect slowly calmed down.
"Very well. Since you are not speaking, I will kill you and extract your memories from your soul."
Xiao Chen spoke very mercilessly.
This elder was undoubtedly a very strong person. However, under such circumstances, his expression still changed.
"You …"
His face turned ashen. His expression changed again and again as he said, "Very well, I will speak."
"Don't think of lying to me. I will verify it with the other elders. If there is any deviation, don't blame me for being impolite. Your Weapon Refining Sect might be very strong and have countless battle formations, but if I want to sneak attack someone, it is still very easy."
Xiao Chen's expression turned grave and stern.
"Very well. I will speak the truth. We discovered the Eternal Light. The sword was made from it."
The elder helplessly told the truth.
"What is the Eternal Light?"
Xiao Chen had never heard of it before. He revealed a doubtful expression.
"That is the supreme treasure of our Weapon Refining Sect. The last page recorded something. It is a kind of divine light deduced by the founder of our Weapon Refining Sect. It is a theoretical thing. Only some of the most ancient sects have deductions and records about this thing."
"I want to see the last page of your supreme treasure."
Xiao Chen directly made this request.
When Xiao Chen opened the copy of the treasure, he flipped to the last page and read it seriously.
He revealed an extremely shocked expression on the spot.
Not to mention the various unimaginable abilities and miraculous effects of the Eternal Light, just the way it was formed was too shocking.
It required at least ten Ancestor Gods to fall at the same place. Their souls would not be extinguished and their consciousness would disperse. The divine light formed from the burning of the pure souls of the Ancestor Gods would never be extinguished. It was known as the Eternal Light.
"In this world … is there such a place? More than ten Ancestor Gods … are buried together?"
Xiao Chen was really shocked.
