Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1305: Joyful for Him and Worried for Him

An indistinct Buddhist light haloed the flower bud. Waves of Buddhist chants turned into auspicious and peaceful Buddhist light that gathered on the lotus flower. That was the blessing the Mahe?vara Buddha gave Xiao Chen to increase the chances of successfully condensing a Dharmic Incarnation and improve it even further.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, all the light in the depths of Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness gathered on the golden lotus. All sorts of resplendent light withdrew.

The Buddhist chants and Buddhist light all vanished, leaving only a plain golden lotus.

It's coming! Xiao Chen thought with anticipation and anxiety. The golden lotus was blossoming. What would his Dharmic Incarnation be like? He would know soon.

The golden lotus slowly opened, petal by petal. With each petal, golden light shot out, dancing in the air like colorful ribbons.

When the golden lotus blossomed completely, a pillar of light charged upwards.

Within the radiance was an azure-clad man that looked like a celestial being bathed in golden light. This person gave off the impression of might and power without appearing angry, exuding a startling evil air. When he glared, the murderous intent projected made one tremble in fear.

This person appeared very similar to Xiao Chen. However, one would not be able to connect the air or the eyes to Xiao Chen.

"Dharmic Incarnation. Is this my Dharmic Incarnation? What a heavy murderous intent! Even I can't believe that I can possess such a heavy murderous intent."

Xiao Chen felt astonished. The Dharmic Incarnation was the reflection of the depths of one's heart. It turned out that he had such an evil air in his inner heart.

This is a little fishy. Logically, my evil air should not be this strong.

Never mind, this is not the time to be concerned about this. The Dharmic Incarnation is already formed. The next step is to merge the body with the Dharmic Incarnation and have it appear in the world.

When Xiao Chen's Magic Energy recovered, he opened his eyes. Then, he stood up and quickly circulated his energy for Dharmic World.

Xiao Chen's figure trembled, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. "Boom!" His body inflated like a balloon, turning into a giant over three kilometers tall.

Lunar Shadow Saber!

With a thought, the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. It was different from what he imagined; the Lunar Shadow Saber became large as well.

Why was it called a Magic Skill? It was because a Magic Skill surpassed one's imagination, an incredible thought. The difference between a Magic Skill and Immortal Arts was that arts could be performed with human abilities. However, human abilities could not achieve the level of a Magic Skill.

However, before Xiao Chen had any time to experience the powerful strength of this Dharmic World—the feeling of being different from the rest—his body shrank back to normal one second later.

"This is interesting, too interesting, completely incredible."

After Xiao Chen's body was back to normal, his heart continued to pound heavily. This was the feeling brought on by a Major Magic Skill. It truly surpassed one's imagination, completely incredible, a fresh sight and scent for the eyes and nose.

Xiao Chen revealed a look of anticipation in his eyes. "During that earlier moment, I felt that I could smash even a Martial Emperor to death with one slap. Furthermore, this is just the foundational level. I wonder how strong it will be after I achieve the second or third cycle?"

The only unfortunate thing was that this Magic Skill consumed too much Magic Energy. His Magic Energy could sustain it for only one second. Such a short amount of time was meaningless in practical combat.

"I need to undergo my Lightning Tribulation right away and raise my Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the eighth layer to expand my sea of consciousness and cultivate more Magic Energy!"

The strength of a Major Magic Skill allowed Xiao Chen to see the might of a Magic Skill, showing him the importance of Magic Energy.

Previously, he had not paid enough attention to his Magic Energy. He had already tempered his Law Energy and Primordial Energy until they were dense and thick. When comparing just one strand of his Law Energy against his opponent's, he would be able to bring out double or even triple the might.

However, Xiao Chen had never tempered his Magic Energy before. In the future, he needed to give it more attention.

At this moment, the sky was already dark. However, Xiao Chen could not contain the excitement in his heart. Currently, he was thinking about where to go to undergo his Lightning Tribulation.

The Heavenly Saber Pavilion was definitely out of the question. It would cause too big a commotion and unknown consequences.

After thinking about it, there were only two rather suitable places. The first was the Deep Sea. The second was the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. However, Xiao Chen had not decided between the two yet.

There was still one very important thing that Xiao Chen needed to do: he needed to put that Eros Demon to sleep for a long time. At the very least, he could not let her wake up before he returned.

Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he arrived at Yao Manlan's wooden hut on Qingyun Peak.

The sighs of Yao Manlan came from the wooden hut. Xiao Chen's sudden appearance startled her.

Aside from interrogating her at the start, she had heard nothing of Xiao Chen or seen him at all. It was like he had completely forgotten about her.

However, when she thought about Xiao Chen's abilities, she dared not run. She passed her days in anxiety; the days felt like years, filled with worry.

"It has been two months, and your complexion became so poor. Have you not been eating?" Xiao Chen asked casually.

Yao Manlan said hatefully, "Cut the pretense. What exactly do you want with me? Either you let me go, or kill me. End all this. Don't torture me like this."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "When I leave the Sky Dome Realm, I will naturally let you go."

"Really?" Joy filled Yao Manlan's heart as she started fantasizing naively.

Xiao Chen walked to the stone table and sat down. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he said, "Of course, it's true. You refuse to answer anything I ask. Keeping you around is also just a potential disaster. Of course, I have to let you go."

However, before Yao Manlan had time to relish her joy, Xiao Chen's next words completely shattered it.

"Of course, I will have to cripple your cultivation and shatter your meridians first."

Yao Manlan, who was messed around with, ranted, "You are the devil, a baddy. There is no one more horrible than you in this world!"

Xiao Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, he drawled, "You have to pay the price for whatever you did. You should understand that principle. Unfortunately, you don't seem to understand that. You are far from a certain Eros Demon that I know."

Yao Manlan's heart skipped a beat. A certain Eros Demon. My master?

That is impossible. My master is a Demon Monarch. One of the eighteen ruling seats of the Deep Abyss Demonic World belongs to her. How can he have a connection with her?

"We have not met for ten-odd years. The matters of the past are like clouds; I thought that they have already disappeared with the wind. Unexpectedly, Young Master Xiao still remembers your servant."

The sudden voice both startled Yao Manlan and brought her joy. The joyful thing was that she was finally saved.

The startling thing was that she just thought that it was impossible, and her master immediately appeared; this was like a slap to her face.

Xiao Chen turned his head and saw the Eros Demon Leng Yue hovering in the air. She was dressed in azure, approaching leisurely. She looked like she did before. The seductive demeanor of an Eros Demon was nowhere to be seen on her face at all.

Just like when Xiao Chen first met Leng Yue, she was as pure as a lotus flower. However, such a person was the only one capable of charming him.

While in the Deep Sea Battlefield, Leng Yue had used her Charm Technique countless times to pull him back from the brink of the depravity of massacre.

"Master!"

Yao Manlan ran over in joy to stand beside Leng Yue. However, she still felt somewhat nervous. Her master actually made a personal trip to the Sky Dome Realm for her.

Xiao Chen finished his tea. Then, he stood up and looked at Leng Yue. He found her completely unfathomable.

Back then, Xiao Chen already found this Eros Demon incredibly mysterious. After so many years, he still found her unfathomable even though his strength had increased greatly. She seemed both strong and weak at the same time.

There was only one explanation. Back then, Leng Yue had been injured, her strength crippled. Now, she had not only recovered but even grown stronger.

However, these did not matter. The other party still had not changed. Xiao Chen was not the only person who remembered the matters of the past.

Why did Xiao Chen remember this so clearly? When he was charmed, there had been many provocative and very realistic fantasies that were very difficult to differentiate from reality.

Furthermore, this had continued for about a year.

"Martial Emperors are not permitted to descend to the Sky Dome Realm. You should know this rule. Are you breaking it today for the sake of a disciple?" Xiao Chen spoke directly without reminiscing about the past.

Leng Yue smiled faintly. "Although great chaos is arriving and someone will eventually break the rule, I do not dare to take the risk. This is just a clone."

"Sit!"

Xiao Chen extended his hand, inviting Leng Yue to have a seat as he poured her a cup of tea.

Leng Yue picked up the teacup and softly said words of gratitude. "I owe you too much from back then. Although you said that we no longer owed each other, I know that I actually still owe you a lot. If you let me take away Manlan today, I, the Demon Monarch Leng Yue, will owe you another favor."

The Demon Monarch Leng Yue, that was a person of great influence. When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly and did not say anything.

When Yao Manlan saw Xiao Chen being like this, she could not help feeling angry in her heart. What status did her master hold? When Leng Yue said that she would owe him another favor, he actually did not show any expression at this. How overboard!

Xiao Chen asked calmly, "Is there a need to count things so clearly between you and me? Or could it be that our past was just another favor to you?"

Leng Yue's heart skipped a beat as the teacup remained at her lips.

Back then, Xiao Chen was young and frivolous, recklessly displaying his brilliance without any fear.

Although he did not speak much, he dared to draw his saber for her, saying that he would help her kill.

His actions had given her, a Demon Monarch, a sense of security that she had never felt before. The various events of the past were deeply buried in her heart, never to be destroyed.

After Leng Yue recovered her strength and got back onto the Demon Monarch's throne, she occasionally recalled the white-robed bladesman who was willing to risk himself for her.

Several times, Leng Yue even wondered if she had fallen for Xiao Chen. However, even if she had, what did it matter? Humans were separated from Demons. This was something impossible in the first place. Furthermore, she was a Demon Monarch, a remote existence with overwhelming strength.

After that, she came to know that Xiao Chen gained a great reputation in the Kunlun Realm, creating the legend of the Azure Dragon King.

Leng Yue felt joyful for him and worried for him as well. If this continued, the two of them would end up on opposing sides sooner or later.

So, she decided to forget him as soon as she could, to forget that white-robed youth that faced strong enemies alone, to put him behind her.

Now that Leng Yue saw Xiao Chen again, saw how he had gained such strength at such a young age, she knew that they would eventually become enemies.

She quickly fixed her expression; others would not see anything strange. She drained her tea in one go, not leaving a drop behind.

"Dong!"

Leng Yue placed the teacup on the table neither heavily nor lightly. Suppressing the pain in her heart, she said with a smile, "If it is not a favor, then what does the Azure Dragon King think it is? Or do you feel that this Monarch's favor is not enough? What other demands do you have? Just raise them. If you need Primordial Pills, I can give them to you. You just need to say the word."

This smile was emotionless like a deep ice cave, something that chilled the heart.

The matters of the past were like the wind, gone long ago. The final delusion in Xiao Chen's heart shattered. Perhaps it would have been better for this so-called old friend to have remained a delusion.
