Chapter 892: My Body as the Saber, My Thoughts as the Saber

By the time Xiao Chen opened his eyes and checked the time, he had already spent two days on his comprehension.

With a thought, snowflakes drifted around him. The temperature in the room dropped rapidly as if winter had come.

Xiao Chen extended his hand, and a light flickered. The snow turned into a saber, and a cold wind filled the room.

He took a deep breath, and a light appeared in his eyes. All the snowflakes immediately surrounded him, spinning around like thousands of people practicing the saber in the snow. The place filled with saber light flashes, cold wind, and snow.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, revealing a satisfied expression at succeeding in supplementing the Winter Saber with the state of ice and snow. These drifting snowflakes were all his saber.

He stood up and clutched a snowflake. Holding it under his nose, he sniffed it gently and felt completely refreshed. He gently pinched this snowflake between two fingers. Then, he casually blew it off, and the snowflakes in the room flew about and gathered into an ice flower.

When Xiao Chen stopped circulating his Heavenly Sage Laws and using the Four Season Saber Technique, the cold wind in the room stilled. However, the ice flower lingered for a long time.

As he paced around in the room, he continued thinking about his Flawless saber Dao. With his body as the saber and his thoughts as the saber, he had a general direction. However, his actual moves were only Flawless Bright Moon and Flawless Four Seasons—both of which he had based on past moves.

Xiao Chen had to comprehend more Martial Techniques. However, this also required inspiration, something that was hard to come by.

There are still three more moves to the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist. I have to find some time to complete them. The Dragon Subduing Slash still has ten more moves or so. I have to find some time to comprehend them completely and merge them into the Flawless saber Dao, Xiao Chen thought.

Suddenly, the door opened. Xiao Xian, Jin Lin, and Liu Ke all came in.

The instant the door opened, the crystalline snow flower drifted out. Coincidentally, it headed towards the three. Xiao Xian’s eyes lit up, and she reached out to catch the ice flower.

“Hehe, Senior Brother, here’s your flower.” Xiao Xian walked over and proffered the flower.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and waved it off. “You can have it. This flower contains several of my comprehensions on the Winter Saber. At a critical moment, it might be able to save your life.”

When Xiao Xian heard that, she rejoiced in her heart. She quickly thanked Xiao Chen and carefully placed it into her spatial ring.

In the battles at Dragon Wood Star, under the guidance of Xiao Chen, the three had gained many military merits. This was especially so for Jin Lin. According to what he said, he had killed ten Corpse Race Medial Grade Martial Sages, one hundred Inferior Grade Martial Sages, and thousands of Monarch Grade Demonic Corpses.

All in all, Jin Lin had accumulated one hundred thousand military merits—doing no worse than Feng Xingsheng.

“Senior Brother, are your injuries healed? Now that there are no more battles on Dragon Wood Star, we have to rush back to the Supreme Sky Sect,” Jin Lin said.

This time, Xiao Chen had suffered severe injuries due to his proximity to the self-detonation of the white bone incarnation containing the will of ruin. If not for his Rank 3 Sage Body, his internal organs would have ruptured, and he would have died.

“Let’s return, then. I should be able to recover with half a month of rest. If we run into any Astral Beasts along the way, I will have to rely on you lot,” Xiao Chen said with a relaxed and joking expression.

Jin Lin thumped his chest and said, “Rest assured, you can rely on me, Jin Lin. Senior Brother, you just focus on recovering from your injuries.”

When he stepped out of his house, Xiao Chen saw that the Supreme Sky Sect disciples had already been waiting for some time. As he looked at this group of disciples, who had changed beyond recognition from their great harvests, he felt rather touched.

“Greetings, Senior Brother!”

When these disciples saw Xiao Chen come out, they immediately stood up respectfully and greeted him. Now, these disciples were not just awed by his strength but also his demeanor, giving him their sincere reverence.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and spat out the Dragon’s Gate’s warship. The group quickly leaped aboard.

As Xiao Chen stood on the bow, he waved his hand, and the eighteen large sails rose up. Energy spewing out from the end of the warship propelled it forward, allowing the Dragon’s Gate’s warship to fly into the starry heavens with all its pride.

Some emotions stirred in Xiao Chen’s heart. He wondered if the Azure Emperor felt the way he did today before the Dragon’s Gate’s destruction ten thousand years ago.

He thought about the Azure Emperor leading the Dragon’s Gate’s disciples riding on the unparalleled warship. A group of people with their own glory wandering through the universe and going everywhere.

As the Dragon’s Gate’s warship went far away, two unharmonious golden figures appeared in the starry heavens. Based on their auras, they were quasi-Emperors, a cultivation far surpassing Xiao Chen’s.

“Gaining one million military merits, conferred a King, and defeating the descendants of three Sovereign Martial Emperors. The Divine Son was indeed right to worry. This fellow is truly a strong enemy of the Divine Son.”

“In less than two years, he will surely stand out and become famous all over. This fellow is too high-profile. Now that the conflict at the Starry Heaven Silver Lake is already over, his fame from this battle will no doubt be no lesser than that of the Divine Son.”

“However, it will not be easy to kill him. In wanting us to make a move, the Divine Son probably intends to make us cannon fodder. How could the Azure Emperor not have left behind some protective measures back then? If he could truly be killed, we would not have to make a move. Someone else would have lost their patience and done it long ago.”

“This does not matter. Since the Divine Son erected Deity Statues for us, when he ascends to the position of Divine King, he will condense Divine Tablets for us. The both of us will definitely be one of the three thousand deities.”

“Let’s make our move, then. If we are fast, we just might succeed.”

------

The Dragon’s Gate’s warship traveled quickly in the starry heavens. As Xiao Chen stood on the bow, he admired the scenery of the universe. Occasionally, he controlled the hidden Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons on both sides to shatter the meteorites in the way.

Just at this moment, the eternal darkness of the starry heavens suddenly became bright white, a dazzling sight.

The light passed in an instant, and the starry heavens turned pitch-black again. The younger-generation disciples on the warship were all startled. However, the universe was filled with countless startling sights in the first place. Such an occurrence was not strange.

After observing for a while with nothing happening, everyone relaxed and did their own things.

Xiao Chen appeared calm as he looked out into space. However, he was startled in his heart. The thing that went past had an absolute electric light, which was clearly much stronger than the immortal will of thunder that the Thunder Emperor had left behind.

“I wonder which senior just passed by? To think he could even easily illuminate the starry heavens!”

---

At the same time, at the palace where Di Wuque was in the Deity Domain in the Kunlun Continent, two Deity Statues suddenly shattered and crumbled into nothing. The lifeforce and will in the Deity Statues vanished completely.

Within the palace, the gorgeous Tian Youxi was writing on a golden book. She sighed, “You should have guessed this ending long ago. Their bodies vanished, and their Dao died. With even their Deity Statues destroyed and no chance of revival at all, you better start thinking of how to explain this to the Divine Monarch.”

A faint smile appeared on Di Wuque’s handsome face. He said, “At least I still gained something. We finally know who the one protecting him is. I will just explain it to the Divine Monarch. Send out an invitation to the Heroes’ Convention to him as well.”

------

In the half month of travel, nothing dangerous happened; the Dragon’s Gate’s warship arrived safely at the Supreme Sky Star.

The Supreme Sky Sect disciples’ exploits on Dragon Wood Star had hogged the limelight. The news of Xiao Chen defeating the descendants of three Sovereign Martial Emperors had reached the Supreme Sky Sect long ago.

After the warship landed on the ground, Xiao Chen led the twenty Supreme Sky Sect disciples off the craft and gave the First Elder a cupped-fist salute. He said, “Xiao Chen, did not fail my mission and did not embarrass the Supreme Sky Sect and its disciples.”

All the elders were smiling widely. The matters of Dragon Wood Star had long since spread far and wide. Xiao Chen managed to bring great honor to the Supreme Sky Sect.

Han Qinghe smiled and said, “Jin Lin, lead your Junior Brothers and Sisters to get the rewards for your contribution with the Elders. The Pavilion Masters of the Refining Pill Pavilion and Equipment Forging Pavilion are all present. If you have any requests, just ask.”

The twenty younger-generation disciples all showed joy on their faces. They could obtain anything they wanted. This was a first.

After saying a few words, Han Qinghe brought Xiao Chen away alone to the inner hall of the main sect. However, he did not enter.

The person sitting in the hall was actually the Supreme Sky Emperor. Beside him stood the Vice Sect Master, whom Xiao Chen had seen once before, an expert quasi-Emperor.

Xiao Chen was stunned. He had not expected Han Qinghe to bring him to meet these two major characters.

“Xiao Chen greets the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master!”

Xiao Chen bent his back to bow and performed a cupped-fist salute as he greeted the two true major characters of the Supreme Sky Sect.

The Supreme Sky Emperor sized Xiao Chen up and was satisfied. He smiled warmly and said, “What an excellent grandmaster atmosphere. Two years of thinking, bitterly cultivating, and comprehending. It looks like you are truly reborn.”

“Sect Master is exaggerating. Compared to you two Seniors, Xiao Chen’s tiny accomplishment is nothing much.”

When normal people praised Xiao Chen, he could remain calm and accepting. However, according to rumor, the Supreme Sky Emperor was a major character who was very close to becoming a Sovereign Martial Emperor. How could Xiao Chen dare to receive the praises of such a person?”

Ao Gu, the Vice Sect Master, said, “This time, you enabled the reputation of the Supreme Sky Sect to soar greatly. Your accomplishments are greater than your First Senior Sister’s in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake. The Sect Master and I have to reciprocate. Do you have anything that you want in particular? You can tell us.”

Xiao Chen felt excited. There were many things that he wanted. However, what he urgently needed to do now was cultivate the latter layers of the Firmament Body Tempering Art, so he needed several Spirit Herbs.

Right now, Xiao Chen’s physical body already surpassed the requirements set by the Firmament Body Tempering Art. Unfortunately, the latter five layers each corresponded to an internal organ—the heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and stomach. Each of them required a different Spirit Herb.

These Spirit Herbs were not considered overly precious. However, they were very rare. Xiao Chen had tried searching but failed to find them, depressing him greatly.

“Many thanks for Seniors’ kind intentions. Xiao Chen does indeed urgently require some things: Heart Nourishing Grass, Bright Yellow Sesame, Worry-Begone Grass, Heavenly Blood Vine, and Gold-Plated Fruit.”

Ao Gu, the Vice Sect Master, muttered to himself for a while before he said, “These are the five organ Spirit Herbs. They are not that costly. However, it is not easy for most people to find them. Even so, it is not difficult for us at all. Just wait for our news. In less than five days, I will send someone to bring them to you.”

Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. Given this, reaching Consummation in the Firmament Body Tempering Art was just a matter of time.

After successfully cultivating the final five layers, his internal organs would be highly resistant to injury. If he encountered another self-detonation like the white bone incarnation’s, he would not fear it.

The Supreme Sky Emperor smiled and said, “Let’s talk about the matter of you being conferred a King. At that time, the Martial God Palace will bestow a fiefdom on you. If there is anything that you need the Supreme Sky Sect to help with, just say the word.”
