Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 891: White Bone Sovereign’s Will Clone

This battle was truly surreal. If not for the eye-catching halved body of the White Bone Sovereign’s descendant, Long Fei, some would even really take it to be a dream.

Xiao Chen dragged his weak body over, taking advantage of the opportunity from Long Fei’s lifeforce dwindling to send in his Spiritual Sense into the trident, erase Long Fei’s Spiritual Mark, and set his own Spiritual Mark on it.

Xiao Chen’s mind felt quite fatigued. The bright moon hanging high in the sky had already accumulated a significant amount of energy. However, the Magic Energy in his sea of consciousness was almost completely drained.

He endured the dizziness and quickly placed his own imprint on the trident. As Long Fei’s Spiritual Mark howled in dissatisfaction, Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Mark formed and overwrote it.

Without saying anything, Xiao Chen collected the trident into his sea of consciousness, moving as far away as he could.

Normally, the big sects behind the extraordinary geniuses would give their geniuses a will clone of a Martial Emperor. Although it was only a single-use item, Xiao Chen could not be sure whether Long Fei used his already or not.

Long Fei was cut in half. His lifeforce was already very weak. However, because he was a Martial Sage as well a practitioner of secret techniques, as long as his brain was intact, he would not die.

If a Sovereign Martial Emperor arrived to save him, he might still survive.

“Ka ca!”

Xiao Chen had just started retreating when a bone needle pierced the afterimage he left behind. His afterimage did not dissipate.

On careful inspection, this bone needle, which did not look very sharp, actually pinned Xiao Chen’s afterimage to space, truly piercing into the void.

“You run really fast. I am too embarrassed to make a second move against a junior like you. But you’d best behave yourself.”

A figure of light came out from Long Fei’s forehead. Its appearance was indistinct. Only a powerful voice was audible. The moment this voice rang out, everyone, including Xiao Chen, bent their backs in a bow, unable to withstand the attendant pressure.

“Splash…!” Water splattered. Many cultivators, whose cultivation was too weak, could not endure this pressure and immediately fell into the sea.

“The Corpse God Palace’s White Bone Sovereign!”

“This is just a will clone, but it is too strong, way too strong. This is a Sovereign Martial Emperor, someone whose strength is beyond our understanding. We will not be able to resist. If he wants to kill us, we would not even be able to lift a finger.”

The White Bone Sovereign’s will clone sent out a clump of scarlet light and slowly mended Long Fei’s body.

Sovereign Martial Emperors already cultivated an undying body. Their research into the secrets of the physical body attained incredible levels. It was not strange to see such a miraculous scene at the hands of a Sovereign Martial Emperor.

However, even though a Sovereign Martial Emperor saved his life, Long Fei needed half a year’s rest for a full recovery.

Of course, while Long Fei had not gained as many comprehensions as Xiao Chen had in this battle, he had still gained a lot. He would improve greatly after his convalescence.

The scarlet light turned into a cocoon encasing Long Fei, and the White Bone Sovereign’s will clone carried him away. The will clone turned into a multicolored light and flew into the universe, not caring anymore about this matter.

Huangpu Feng heaved a sigh of relief and cried out loudly, “Respectfully sending off the White Bone Sovereign!”

[Note: Respectfully sending off: In ancient China, when emperors still ruled the country, this was often said when the emperor was leaving. It is a formal parting salutation.]

The Martial God Palace’s cultivators all sent off the White Bone Sovereign respectfully as well. No matter what, the White Bone Sovereign behaved like the senior he was. He did not take his rage out on others for Long Fei’s sorry state.

In that case, the bet between Xiao Chen and Long Fei, as well as the one with Wei Hua, would be honored. These major characters clearly had no intention of interfering in the squabbles of these juniors.

While the juniors of the Corpse Race and the human race were fighting to the death, the upper echelons of the two sides might even be chatting and laughing at them. They would talk about what experiential training to go on in the starry heavens or share their comprehension on cultivation; they got along very well.

With the five major races of the Kunlun Realm added together, the number of people was full to the point of bursting. There were way more than ten billion people. Although Martial Emperors were rare, there would always be a few new Martial Emperors every two hundred years. Since Martial Emperors had lifespans of at least two thousand years, there were actually quite a few Martial Emperors in the Kunlun Realm.

The really rare ones were the Sovereign Martial Emperors. As of now, there were only twenty known Sovereign Martial Emperors at most. At this level, they normally would not have any significant hatred between each other. Most of the matters could be easily resolved. action

Wei Hua had a sullen expression as he said with some hatred in his tone, “The Corpse Race honors its promises. Three days hence, we will leave the resource stars that we conquered. Let’s go!”

Following the Corpse Race cultivators was a large group of Demonic Corpses. Wei Hua left in a somewhat sorry state. On this trip to Dragon Wood Star, they suffered a double loss after trying to trick the other side. Not only did they fail to achieve their target, but they even lost the two resource stars that they had conquered. Their losses were enormous.

The Muddy Sky Gate originally came here to try to take advantage of the hostilities. Given this situation, the sect could obtain nothing; there would be nothing to see.

Qi Wuxue looked at the Martial God Palace’s people who all had hostile gazes. Naturally, the Muddy Sky Gate would not be able to remain here.

“Xiao Chen, I, Qi Wuxue, really admire you. You are truly deserving of your status as the Azure Emperor’s descendant. When you have time in the future, do drop by the Muddy Sky Gate in the Profound Domain. I, Qi Wuxue, will definitely hold a banquet in your honor.”

After saying that, Qi Wuxue led his Muddy Sky Gate people onto a King Grade warship and quickly left. They feared that without an expeditious departure, the Martial God Palace cultivators would take their rage out on them. By then, they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

------

Three days later, the Martial God Palace successfully took back the two resource stars. The news of Xiao Chen winning two consecutive battles—defeating the Iron Hand Sovereign’s, the Underworld Fire Sovereign’s, and the White Bone Sovereign’s descendants—also reached the upper echelons of the Martial God Palace.

According to the agreement, Xiao Chen gained one million military merits. Furthermore, he flushed out a mole and killed several Corpse Race Martial Sages as well as all sorts of Demonic Corpses. His total military merits exceeded one and a half million.

However, Xiao Chen did not go to the ceremony for awarding military merits in the main camp. Firstly, he was still recuperating from his injuries and could not attend. Secondly, Huangpu Feng only controlled a resource star and did not have the authority to award so many military merits.

Nonetheless, Huangpu Feng visited Xiao Chen in person after the ceremony and symbolically presented him with one million Astral Coins, some Black Patterned Gold, Heavenly Wind Grass, various other specialties of Dragon Wood Star, and a piece of news.

“Three months from now, the Martial God Palace will hold a grand ceremony to confer you a King before everyone at the Supreme Sky Star. At that time, they will bestow a piece of land in the Tianwu Domain on you as your fief. Of course, there are other rewards, which are no lesser.”

After Xiao Chen heard all that, a smile appeared on his pale face.

He did not really care about the other benefits. If he could truly gain his own fiefdom, he would have gained a lot. In the future, when he reestablished the Dragon’s Gate, he would not need to worry about having land to serve as his foundation.

However, Xiao Chen did not know where the land he would receive was. He hoped that it would not be in some overly desolate location.

Within the Tianwu Domain, there were several deserted areas. Firstly, there were no resources. Secondly, there were no signs of human habitation. Everything would have to be built from scratch. Doing so would require a lot of energy and effort.

However, this did not really matter. His main concern was the land. Although the Kunlun Continent was vast and there were many plots of desolate land, finding a truly masterless territory was almost impossible. Many such lands had owners in name.

These people were people who should be not offended. If things went wrong, there would be a lot of trouble.

“This Xiao has a question for Lord Huangpu. Might I know who the current Palace Lord of the Martial God Palace is?”

The Martial God Palace comprised the major sects of the Tianwu Domain. Of which, the Three Holy Lands took the lead. However, Xiao Chen had heard that the Palace Lord position did not belong to any of the three current Holy Masters.

Huangpu Feng smiled and replied, “The Palace Lord has not made a formal appearance for several thousand years. You juniors would not know about it, so that is normal. The current Palace Lord is a Sovereign Martial Emperor from the same period as the Azure Emperor, Senior Thunder Sovereign of the Thunder and Lightning Palace.”

So it turns out to be him. That is reasonable. With such a person, the top expert of the current humans, he could keep the three Holy Masters in check. He was the best candidate to be the Palace Lord of the Martial God Palace.

The Thunder Sovereign was from the same period as the Azure Emperor and had lived for close to ten thousand years. His strength was unfathomable. He was the reason why the humans could manage to withstand the enormous pressure from the Deity Race.

Since the Thunder Sovereign was from the same period as the Azure Emperor, Xiao Chen wondered if he had been friends with the Azure Emperor.

If there was such a relationship, when Xiao Chen was conferred a King, he should have nothing to worry about. He would not need to fear the three Holy Masters too much.

If he had time, he should try to make some quiet inquiries with the Supreme Sky Emperor and see if he could get some inside news.

After Huangpu Feng left, Xiao Chen’s forehead flashed with a bright light, and a trident manifested in Xiao Chen’s hand. A twinkle appeared in his eyes along with a smile on his face. On this trip, his biggest gain was this Ruin Trident.

The unexpected refinement of the Ruin Throne into another form gave Xiao Chen several new ideas.

Could he refine the Massacre Throne and Death Throne into weapons? Clearly, if they were weapons, the thrones would be able to bring out greater might.

This was very simple to see. In a fight, if one person used a throne and the other a weapon, it was obvious which would be stronger.

Weapons were lethal items for killing; thrones were noble objects. In order to bring out a greater might from the will, indeed, weapons would be more practical.

Furthermore, the throne was just a form and did not affect the will it represented.

When Xiao Chen arrived at this train of thought, he had already gained an answer. It was better for him to refine the thrones into a weapon. However, he had sworn never to use another saber if he could not bring Ao Jiao back.

Furthermore, he was using his body as a saber now. He no longer needed to use an actual saber. He was the saber. So it would be better for him to refine the thrones into other weapons.

Xiao Chen stopped thinking about this and put away the Ruin Trident. Then, with the flip of his hand, a jade strip appeared on his palm.

The content of this jade strip was precisely the inheritance of the Snow Race that he was interested in. The Snow Race was one of the strong ancient races. They had exceptional control over the power of ice.

He had heard that several geniuses of the strong ancient races had surfaced recently and wondered if the Snow Race had one.

Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into the jade strip. Then he closed his eyes and carefully perused the information.

The information inside was as vast as the sea. It spoke about the origin of ice and snow, how to control ice and snow, how to grasp ice and snow.

Xiao Chen cultivated the will of thunder and could not waste any time on the will of ice and snow. He could only use the information in the jade strip as references and inspiration.

However, the Winter Saber of Flawless Four Seasons touched on the Dao of ice and snow. He could directly use this knowledge to supplement his Winter Saber.
