Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chu Chaoyun was just across the table. However, he gave off a sense of primal chaos as if he was a galaxy away. Light and dark intertwined, nourishing a powerful treasured sword.

“Where did you get the painting from?” Xiao Chen went straight to the point and immediately asked his question.

Chu Chaoyun also seemed disinclined to speak any useless words. He took a sip of wine and said, “While you were in the Sky Dome Realm, you should have met a certain person who has a very close resemblance to you. This person also knew the exclusive Azure Dragon Martial Spirit Martial Techniques.”

Xiao Chen frowned in his heart, but his expression did not change. He only nodded to indicate that he had seen that person.

“I snatched the painting from him.”

“You snatched the painting from him? You must be joking. This person is definitely stronger than you. How could he let you snatch away this painting as you wish? Do you think he is dead already?”

“Haha! He is indeed dead already…”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. This time, he was significantly shocked. This person was one of the knots in his heart. Originally, he thought that he could meet this person again in the future. Unexpectedly, that person had died.

Chu Chaoyun remained as calm as before. He said indifferently, “He is an evil doppelganger created by the Azure Emperor’s Good and Evil Beneficence Art. Ten thousand years ago, when the Azure Emperor chopped him down, he did not die completely. After ten thousand years, he recovered most of his strength. He wanted to fight for the Chief Church Master position of the Deep Abyss’s Dark Church. However, he got defeated in three moves and died.”

No wonder that person looked so similar. He turned out to be an evil doppelganger of the Azure Emperor. However, he lost to the Chief Church Master of the Dark Church. Xiao Chen was still in some disbelief.

The Dark Church had branches in many of the lower realms. Xiao Chen also knew that their headquarters was in the Deep Abyss Demonic World. However, the strength of this Chief Church Master was beyond his expectations.

“How come you know so much?” Xiao Chen glared at Chu Chaoyun.

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and played with the wine cup in his hand. “The last Tianwu Emperor was initially good friends with the Azure Emperor. As a descendant of the Royal Clan, such trifling information is nothing.

“In any case, these are things that you will know sooner or later. However, you will have to become a Martial Emperor first. So, don’t die. Don’t follow in the footsteps of the Thunder Emperor. I’ll wait for you to advance to Martial Emperor.”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen said, “You probably want the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame, which is suppressed under the Azure Dragon Palace, right?!”

Chu Chaoyun’s face betrayed his surprise. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to speak of his motive so directly. For the first time, his expression changed. “You’ve gone to the Azure Dragon Palace before?”

However, Chu Chaoyun immediately realized his words were pointless. Without going there, how could Xiao Chen know about the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame in the Azure Dragon Palace?

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and changed the topic. “Your painting is useless to me. I’ve been to the Yellow Springs and passed the sea of bitterness. I saw the saber light left by the Azure Emperor. The six paths of reincarnation are already completely shattered. There is no meaning to them.”

Upon hearing that reincarnation was broken, Chu Chaoyun failed to control his expression yet again. If reincarnation was already broken, then where had the Azure Emperor gone in the end?

Xiao Chen observed Chu Chaoyun’s expression. For the first time, he grasped the initiative in a conversation with this person. The other party was not as all-knowing as he appeared to be.

Like Xiao Chen, this person was seeking answers and waiting for opportunities.

“I’ll be taking my leave. If there is an opportunity, we will meet again!” Chu Chaoyun felt confused by the two pieces of information that Xiao Chen revealed. Not willing to remain, he stood up, intending to leave.

“Did I say that I’m letting you leave?”

Xiao Chen put down the wine cup in his hand. Then, his hair started moving despite the absence of any wind. The melodious ringing of a saber resounded. Countless saber winds instantly locked on to the rising Chu Chaoyun.

The atmosphere in the third floor immediately turned very tense like a storm was brewing, waiting to be unleashed.

As Xiao Chen watched the rising Chu Chaoyun, he did not say anything more. The other party possessed many secrets and had many connections to him. He had long wanted to figure out what was going on.

How did the Azure Emperor end up turning hostile with the last Tianwu Emperor? Why was the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame in the Azure Dragon Palace?

How did the Azure Emperor fall after the battle, or was there more to it? It seemed like Chu Chaoyun had the answers.

This time, while Chu Chaoyun looked like he was giving him a painting, his ulterior motive was no doubt to see how far Xiao Chen had improved, to see how much longer it would take Xiao Chen to advance to Martial Emperor.

All this was so that Chu Chaoyun could enter the Azure Dragon Palace and snatch the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame.

Xiao Chen was speechless. Chu Chaoyun still treated him as the person whom he could push back with half a move from many years ago, wanting to come and go as he wished.

How could it be that simple? If Chu Chaoyun wanted to leave, he needed to have the capabilities first.

Chu Chaoyun’s gaze turned cold. Killing Qi came from everywhere without warning and locked down on Xiao Chen.

“Do you expect me to send my true body to the Supreme Sky Sect, where there are many experts? There will definitely be a fight between you and me, but it will not be now.”

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly. Suddenly, his body burst into a clump of flames and quickly burned to ashes, leaving only a wooden puppet.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had no choice but to scatter the killing Qi he emanated. The saber winds that filled the place instantly disappeared.

Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring, Xiao Chen, these person’s words are half-truths. You cannot completely believe in them.

Xiao Chen picked up the wine cup again and took a sip. Then, he nodded. The so-called evil doppelganger of the Azure Emperor might very possibly have died at his hands after getting defeated by the Chief Church Master.

However, his words make sense as well. He is probably not the only one waiting for me to open the Azure Dragon Palace. There are probably many Martial Emperors hiding, all of them eyeing the Azure Dragon Palace.

I have to strengthen myself quickly, build up more accumulations. Otherwise, the Azure Dragon Palace that the Azure Emperor left for me will get snatched away.

Based on Chu Chaoyun’s aura, even though they had not fought, Xiao Chen was sure that the other man had already perfected his will of primal chaos.

Xiao Chen needed to work on his will of cycles. Since he already had news of the Despair Throne, he had to make haste on his trip to the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

Upon returning to his peak, he immediately entered closed-door cultivation, in preparation for digesting all the treasures from the congratulatory gifts that he could use.

First, Xiao Chen was naturally going to use the Heavenly Ice Pearl that his senior sister gave him. With one more kind of will, his strength would improve by another level.

At the summit of his peak, he took out the Heavenly Ice Pearl. Instantly, the sky filled with snow, and a cold wind howled together with snowflakes moving about like knives.

“This is really heavy snowfall. I wonder, where did First Senior Sister obtain the Heavenly Ice Pearl?”

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and directly swallowed the Heavenly Ice Pearl. A cooling sensation immediately spread throughout his blood, meridians, and bones.

“Si! Si!” Soon, his body turned into an ice sculpture before turning into an ice pillar. His figure was no longer visible.

The sun rose and set; clouds gathered and scattered. Immense amounts of snow fell on the peak as three days passed.

Xiao Chen remained inside the ice pillar, unmoving, as if he hibernated, utterly devoid of any signs of life.

After another three days, the ice pillar started cracking. The snow immediately vanished. When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, there was a flash of cold light.

Compared to six days ago, his aura was much calmer, with a hint of cold.

A light flashed on his forehead, and a small knife of ice shot out and tore through the air.

Everywhere the small knife passed, fog became ice. As it flickered with cold light, it turned around and returned to Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness.

However, the ice frozen in the air did not vanish.

This small knife was the form of Xiao Chen’s will of ice. Naturally, when compared to his immortal will of thunder, it was much weaker.

However, he was only using it as an adjunct, gilding the lily. He did not expect much from it. He was already very satisfied with this result.

After Xiao Chen finished consuming the Heavenly Ice Pearl, he did not rest but immediately took out the two-hundred-meter-long True Dragon spine.

“Roar!”

The voice of a True Dragon reverberated in the mountains as Dragon Might spread. A vague image of a dragon appeared at the summit, stirring up winds and clouds and forming rain and lightning.

---

When the nearby Supreme Sky Sect elders heard the commotion, they all flew out of their peaks. The sight of this mysterious phenomenon startled them all greatly, and their eyes filled with envy.

“I heard that during the presentation of congratulations, Xiao Chen received a two-hundred-meter-long True Dragon spine. It looks like this rumor is true.”

“You can’t call him Xiao Chen anymore. Now, he is the Azure Dragon King. Furthermore, he is going to establish his own sect on Heavenly Star Island. The Sect Master already permitted it.”

“How unfortunate! If only he would remain in our Supreme Sky Sect. The Sect Master is already a Prime. If we have another Emperor Grade True Dragon demonic genius as part of our younger generation, then the Supreme Sky Sect would surpass the Three Holy Lands. They would have to listen to us.”

“Don’t overthink this. Such a person is truly a great dragon. He will advance to Martial Emperor sooner or later and become a major character of the Kunlun Realm. How can he remain in the Supreme Sky Sect?”

All the elders of the Supreme Sky Sect discussed with each other, their expressions complicated.

---

Atop the summit of Xiao Chen’s peak, he was considering how to tap the dragon marrow. After extracting the dragon marrow, the remaining True Dragon spine would still be something good.

When he arrived at Heavenly Star Island, he could bury this True Dragon spine under a mountain of the island, nourishing Luck for the Dragon’s Gate.

The items that sects used to gather Luck were known as Sect Totems. When the Sect Totems were destroyed, the sect’s Luck would plummet. Destruction would not be far away.

A Sect Totem was extremely important. Using this True Dragon spine as a Sect Totem for the Dragon’s Gate’s establishment was extremely suitable.

Xiao Chen estimated that an ordinary Rank 9 sect’s Sect Totem was not as imposing and respectable as this two-hundred-meter-long True Dragon spine.

Xiao Chen carefully cut a small hole in the joint of the spine. Then, a suction came from his palm, drawing out the dragon marrow inside drop by drop.

One drop…two drops…three drops…a total of one hundred drops came out before the True Dragon spine was empty.

Xiao Chen showed joy on his face. Ye Chen’s gift was extraordinarily precious. One hundred drops of dragon marrow. What a horrifying amount!

Dragon marrow, strong bones. Bones were the foundation and framework for the physical body. If the bones were not damaged, the physical body would never shatter.

Many years ago, half a drop of dragon marrow allowed Xiao Chen’s bones to undergo a rebirth, enabling him to surpass his peers.

Now, where would one hundred drops of dragon marrow bring him? He did not dare to imagine how his body would improve.

Xiao Chen stopped thinking and put away the True Dragon spine. Then, he opened his mouth and sucked, taking in the hundred drops of dragon marrow in the air in one go.

The many elders watching the peak from outside seemed to be drooling. One hundred drops of dragon marrow, and Xiao Chen swallowed them all right there and then.

How luxurious this was. If these elders had ten drops, their physical bodies would immediately make a breakthrough, increasing their defense by at least fifty percent.

“He is indeed worthy of being the Azure Dragon King. If I possessed a hundred drops of dragon marrow, I would definitely not bear to use them all up in one go.”

“Indeed. Dragon marrow is extremely precious. Just one drop can fetch a sky-high price. Despite that, the Azure Dragon King swallowed one hundred drops all at once. This is equal to a mountain of treasure disappearing.”
