Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 757: Opening the Grave Palace

From that moment on, the Star Grave Palace closed. In accordance with the Heavenly Roc King’s plan, Martial Sages and above were not allowed in. Then, it soared into the air and tore through the barrier of the sky to fly into the infinite depths of space.

The originally strong Heavenly Roc Race had already weakened with the Heavenly Roc King’s death. Then, all the elite forces in the race died in the struggle to obtain the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting.

As a result, the period of prosperity that the Heavenly Roc King brought to the Heavenly Roc Race was lost forever, and their strength declined sharply. A few thousand years later, the Heavenly Roc Race had become a bottom-rung existence among the hundred races in the Fiend Domain.

Every hundred years, the grave palace would pass above the Heavenly Roc Race, which had never given up on calling it down, praying that they would succeed and revitalize the Heavenly Roc Race’s glory.

There was definitive news that after a few generations of attempts, the Star Grave Palace would come down this time.

With the passage of time, the previously great and mighty Heavenly Roc Race had left the bustling areas of the Fiend Domain, moving to its borders, to the Sand Province about four thousand kilometers away from Hunluo Province.

The Sand Province was a vast desert, a desolate place without any life and only a few small oases. There were also all sorts of evil people traveling through that place.

For the Heavenly Roc Race to end up in such a place, it was easy to imagine how much the race had waned.

For ordinary people, four thousand kilometers would take an extremely long time to walk. For Mo Lingtian and his group, such a distance was not particularly far. In fact, it could be said to be very near.

Mo Lingtian and his group could travel more than five hundred kilometers in one day. Eight days later, a seemingly endless golden desert appeared before the eight.

Mo Lingtian looked at the sand and glanced at Xiao Chen, who was behind. Then the corners of his lips curled up, and he said, “This desert has all sorts of ferocious beasts in it: Flame Sand Snakes, Muddy Lizards, Demonic Spotted Leopards, bone dragons, and many others, too many to count. There is also the most problematic, the Golden Corroding Worm.

“Xiao Chen, your physical body is the strongest. You lead the way. Bring us to the Heavenly Roc Race’s summoning altar. I will point out the directions to you.”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. This fellow is really taking advantage of this. I’ll just treat this as tempering my physical body. I will settle accounts with him after we return.

Seeing Xiao Chen “obediently” go forward, Mo Lingtian revealed a pleased smile. Some White Robed Bladesman. You still ended up as my tool like a dog. And you think that you can gain some benefits from me.

Haha! Lingtian, you are great!

Some White Robed Bladesman. He might dare to challenge Bai Wuxue, but before Young Master, he does not even dare to let out a fart.

When the five Elders behind Mo Lingtian saw this, they immediately started to kiss up to him.

The seven giants are nothing. I stand out from the masses. I will rule the Eternal Heavenly Sword School in the future and will become the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, shaking the whole Kunlun Realm. Elders, let’s go!

These few people communicated by projecting their voices to each other. However, Nangong Qiong heard it all very clearly. When she heard Mo Lingtian’s final words, she could not help but laugh.

One of the unparalleled existences in Hunluo City, Wu Yuankai of the Ten Evils, still ended up falling to Xiao Chen. Nangong Qiong did not know where Mo Lingtian got all his confidence from, underestimating Xiao Chen like that.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The blazing sun shone high in the sky. Yellow sand was everywhere. Occasionally, ferocious beasts came out of the sand. Xiao Chen would immediately and cautiously execute Dragon Claw Fist, slaying these beasts.

As Xiao Chen stepped forward, a tiger and a dragon would appear. He would switch between the fist and the claw, a dragon roaring continuously. Unless it was a ferocious beast above Rank 9, most of these beasts would last no more than ten moves against him.

Practicing his close combat techniques on this surging sand gave Xiao Chen an unexpected benefit.

In the past, he generally practiced in the flat plains. The more complicated environments would be the grass plains or the forest. He had never practiced in such a dangerous environment as this desert before.

The blazing sun of the Kunlun Realm was several times larger than the Sky Dome Realm’s. Now, Xiao Chen experienced the full might of this sun for the first time.

Without any clouds above to block or mitigate the rays of the sky, Xiao Chen’s clothes became completely drenched in sweat in less than an hour; he looked like he just came out of a river.

Xiao Chen’s body experienced endless torture. If he were an ordinary person, he would have already stopped to rest and use his Quintessence to block the sun, giving himself some respite. action

However, Xiao Chen felt an incomparable comfort. As he circulated his Vital Qi under this blazing sun, his muscles, flesh, bones, marrow, and blood wore against each other, showing faint signs of advancing to the next level.

It seemed like he would break through the shackles of a Rank 1 Sage Body soon. Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. He could not help but put in more effort in killing the ferocious beasts in the way.

As Mo Lingtian gazed a kilometer ahead at Xiao Chen, who was sweating profusely yet at the same time extremely lively, he mocked, Indeed, he is just a country bumpkin from the Sky Dome Realm. The sun of the Kunlun Realm is the Yang-attributed flame with the strongest might in the three thousand great realms.

If an ordinary person stood under it for an hour without any clouds for cover, they would die for sure. With our cultivation, if we just exposed ourselves without spending any effort on protection, we would end up suffering from a flame poison.

If it were not for that, I would not even care for these insignificant worms that are in the way.

The five inner sect Elders of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School also had contemptuous expressions on their faces, and they chimed in with their own mockeries.

Nangong Qiong knew Xiao Chen slightly better. Naturally, she believed that he was not stupid. It was impossible that he did not feel the might of the Kunlun Realm’s sun. He had to have some reason for putting in so much effort in killing these ferocious beasts in the way.

Indeed, it was as Nangong Qiong expected. After observing for a long time, she finally discovered the reason and the mysteries behind his action. She could not help being greatly startled. Unexpectedly, this fellow was using the blazing sun of the Kunlun Realm to temper his body directly.

Furthermore, his regimen seemed very effective. Nevertheless, Mo Lingtian and the others were still mocking Xiao Chen for being a country bumpkin. They are truly ignorant.

With Xiao Chen leading the way and risking himself, Mo Lingtian and the others had a very easy time. They only needed to deal with the occasional beast that slipped through.

Three days later, all the bones in Xiao Chen’s body gave off crackling sounds. Suddenly, he felt very relaxed like he suddenly put down a heavy burden.

“My Rank 1 Sage Body advanced to Rank 2.”

Xiao Chen casually punched and burst a Flame Sand Snake with a single blow. He revealed a joyful expression as he looked at the blazing sun above.

Just like this, Xiao Chen broke through the bottleneck of the Rank 1 Sage Body. This was truly a pleasant surprise on this trip.

One kilometer away, Mo Lingtian had not noticed the changes to Xiao Chen, as Xiao Chen’s fights with the ferocious beasts gave off all sorts of sounds, sounds louder and more intense than Xiao Chen’s bones crackling.

Furthermore, Mo Lingtian was not paying attention to Xiao Chen. He felt that Xiao Chen was only a Superior Grade Martial Monarch and could not be very strong.

One hour later, Xiao Chen, who was spearheading their advance, stopped. The figures of Heavenly Roc Race cultivators finally appeared at the limits of his vision.

Mo Lingtian caught up with Xiao Chen. As he watched the two Heavenly Roc Race cultivators patrolling in the distance, he smiled sinisterly. “We have arrived. After being stifled for so long, it is time for me to vent my frustrations.”

A purple crystal sword about 3 centimeters wide shot out of Mo Lingtian’s sleeve. As he grasped his sword, lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy suddenly gathered at his feet.

“Boom!”

An electric light burst out of his feet as he turned into a streak of purple lightning rushing up to the sky. He was so fast that the physical eye could not capture his movements.

By the time the lightning vanished into the sky, Mo Lingtian’s figure had already landed beside the two Heavenly Roc Race cultivators.

Arcs of electricity leaped around on the purple crystal sword. A sword light flickered as it swung at the two Heavenly Roc Race cultivators’ heads. Before they could cry out, they died.

The five old men quickly flew over, smiling. “Young Master’s Thunder Steps is indeed extraordinary. You managed to move two kilometers instantly.”

Xiao Chen replayed the scene of Mo Lingtian using Thunder Steps in his mind. After a while, it seemed like he gained something; he felt that he had much to learn from this Movement Technique.

As Xiao Chen stood beside Mo Lingtian, they saw that the Heavenly Roc Race’s troops had already divided into teams, tightly guarding everywhere five kilometers below the sand dunes.

Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense past the troops to the core area, which even their eyes could not see. There, he saw a vast and complex formation.

Forty-nine dazzling balls of light leaped around at the links of the formation, which gave off overwhelming Spiritual Energy and generated pillars of light rushing into the sky.

How impressive! No wonder it was claimed that they would definitely succeed. They had actually gathered forty-nine peak grade Spirit Veins and shifted the Spirit Vein’s origins here.

For the sake of calling down the grave palace, the Heavenly Roc Race probably spent all the savings of the entire race on this. If they did not succeed, it would mean their fall.

An altar with an ancient aura sat in the middle of the formation. A sharp and handsome young man wearing gold armor stood at its center.

This young man looked at the many uninvited, evil-minded guests hidden behind the surrounding sand dunes. His lips curled up in a sinister, uncaring smile.

Seeing the young man’s expression, Xiao Chen felt something was wrong. A bizarre thought appeared in his head: Could the Heavenly Roc Race have leaked this news on purpose?

Mo Lingtian looked around everywhere and smiled faintly. “The familiar people who came to join the excitement are really many: Bone Mausoleum Sect’s Wang Ying, Soaring Serpent Mansion’s Zuo Guangyuan, Blood Shadow Sect’s Teng Peng, Heavenly Tiger Sect’s Yun Feiyang, and Magnificent Fiend Hall’s Xiang Fei.

“There are also many Fiend Race geniuses that came over from faraway places. Unfortunately, they will have to return disappointed.”

As he spoke, Mo Lingtian passed judgment on everything, appearing very proud of himself.

Xiao Chen and Nangong Qiong simply ignored him. They secretly communicated with each other on how to find an opportunity to finish off this group of Eternal Heavenly Sword Sect half-Sages.

As night approached, the forty-nine pillars of light in the formation became even more obvious.

As everyone looked into the heavens, a resplendent star clearly different from the rest slowly moved across the sky, approaching the altar.

At this moment, everyone held their breaths. Their gazes filled with excitement as they quietly waited for the moment the star fell.

The boundless river of stars and the low-hanging night sky belonged to the Heavenly Roc King’s star. It was the brightest, the most dazzling. As it quietly moved thousands of kilometers in an instant, it looked very slow in everyone’s eyes, shaking everyone’s hearts.

Xiao Bai’s bright eyes gleamed with the light of hope, as well as an incomparable determination.

Xiao Bai muttered to herself, “This should be the Star Grave Palace. If I can obtain the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting, Xiao Bai will no longer have to keep chasing after Elder Brother Xiao Chen.”

In the Five Nation Youth Competition, Xiao Chen had defeated the various heroes and talents, becoming a King Grade True Dragon. Xiao Bai felt very happy for him at that time. However, as she watched him from behind, she felt lonely as well.

After she cultivated in the Heavenly Fiend Palace for a long time, the gap between her and Xiao Chen had shrunk.

At that time, Xiao Bai swore that she would definitely catch up to Elder Brother Xiao Chen, so that she could fight side by side with him and not just look at his back.
