Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1152: Secret Technique—Life and Death Ar

t

With three simple palm strikes, mountains and rivers materialized, layered over each other—a boundless mysterious phenomenon that sent the three offending Great Perfection quasi-Emperors flying back.

With a stretch of his hand, Fei Lengyi grabbed the jadeite. Then, he fully released his aura, the aura of a half-step Martial Emperor, putting pressure on everyone.

“You are really bold. Even though you are in my Jadeite Mountain Manor, you dare to show malicious intent on my properties. Even if you obtained the jadeite, would you dare to use it?” Fei Lengyi snorted coldly, and the three Great Perfection quasi-Emperors immediately felt the pressure on them increase.

This reminder jolted the others back to their senses. Since the Jadeite Sovereign refined this jadeite, only a Sovereign Martial Emperor would be able to erase his Spiritual Mark from it. Without being of the Jadeite Sovereign’s line, one would not be able to use it and would only bring trouble to themselves.

After the three quasi-Emperors stood up, they immediately fled out without saying a word.

Fei Lengyi ignored those three quasi-Emperors. Then, he looked around the many quasi-Emperors before finally fixing his gaze on Yue Bingyun. He said indifferently, “The people of the Lunar Palace are indeed one step ahead of me. To think that you are able to bribe even the people of the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion! This Fei admits defeat this time.

“Everyone, please leave. I have let all of you see me make a joke of myself.”

How could Fei Lengyi not have figured out by now that the Heptagold Origin was a trick played on him by both the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion and the Lunar Palace?

Yue Bingyun smiled but showed no intention to leave. She looked at the blood cocoon in the air and said, “According to the ancient records of my Lunar Palace, the Secret Technique that the Blood Sword Sovereign used to condense the Heart of an Emperor in advance—the Life and Death Art—is very likely hidden in the blade of this Heavenly Blood Sword.”

The moment she said that, many of the departing quasi-Emperors paused, especially those Consummation quasi-Emperors. Boundless radiance lit up in their eyes as they gazed at the large blood cocoon.

The Blood Sword Sovereign was a fabled Martial Emperor of his time, leaving behind many legends. The one that the people of the later generations remembered was naturally the fact that he condensed the Heart of an Emperor before advancing to Martial Emperor.

According to Yue Bingyun, the Secret Technique involved, the Life and Death Art, might be hidden in this blood cocoon. How could there be any quasi-Emperor not tempted by this?

Even Xiao Chen felt the draw.

When Fei Lengyi heard that, his heart thumped heavily. The expression on his pale face turned uncertain. To think there was actually such a secret! He had wielded the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword for several centuries already, but he never noticed it.

“Is that so? Haha! In that case, please hang on to it for me. If there are any results, do let this Fei know.”

Fei Lengyi did something very unexpected. He thrust out his palm, and the mysterious blood cocoon flew quickly towards Yue Bingyun.

Yue Bingyun’s expression changed. Before she could figure out what was happening, the blood cocoon appeared before her. Now, the situation flipped around, and the blood cocoon was in her hands.

When the blood cocoon entered her hands, she felt many murderous gazes. Only then did she come to her senses. She quickly pulled Xiao Chen and flew out.

“Let’s go!”

Before Xiao Chen could react, Yue Bingyun already dragged him out. When he turned his head to look, he saw more than three hundred Great Perfection quasi-Emperors and ten-odd Consummation quasi-Emperors frantically chasing them.

The extraordinarily bustling Jadeite Mountain Manor instantly emptied; no one remained.

Fei Lengyi quickly withdrew his half-step Martial Emperor aura and vomited copious amounts of blood as he knelt on the ground.

“Manor Lord, are you alright?!”

The attendants of the mountain manor rushed over to help Fei Lengyi up with worry written on their faces. They had wondered why he had given away the blood cocoon that the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword transformed into.

Now, it looked like Fei Lengyi had had no other choice. After bearing the brunt of the backlash from the destruction of the Divine Weapon, his injuries were grave.

Otherwise, given his temper, he would not have let off those three Great Perfection quasi-Emperors who tried to steal the jadeite.

Fei Lengyi waved his hand and pushed off an attendant. Then, he said, “I am fine. Send people out to monitor Yue Bingyun’s movements closely. Immediately report to me when you learn whether the Blood Sword Sovereign’s Secret Technique is in there or not.”

“Very well.”

Under Fei Lengyi’s insistence, that person had no other choice but to obey the orders. However, before he left, he glanced worriedly at Fei Lengyi.

Fei Lengyi looked helplessly at the sky. The scattered dark clouds had already slowly regathered. Now, only one final ray of light shone on his body, making the scene look somewhat sad.

He could not see him, he simply could not see him at all. That person did not come at all. Even after preparing for fifteen years and tearing the sky open, that person still did not come, unwilling to come and see him, the grandson of that person.

Even though he had gotten so severely injured, nearly dying, that person still did not show up.

---

The thick, dark clouds slowly closed up as Fei Lengyi watched. However, somewhere tens of thousands of kilometers higher than the dark clouds, outside the barrier of the sky, on a stray asteroid drifting in the universe were one man and one woman. These two were not doing anything. They simply stood on this asteroid and moved together with it.

The man’s face was like jade and his eyes like stars. His long hair hung loose, and he had the countenance of someone twenty-odd years in age. His aura was extraordinary, like that of the Immortals of the Immortal Epoch.

The woman looked remarkably beautiful. Her skin looked as white as snow, so delicate that the slightest breeze would bruise it. Her aura felt noble with her elegant appearance. There was a rainbow ribbon tied at the back of her magnificent dress. It was as if there was a bright moon floating behind her.

If Fei Lengyi and Yue Bingyun were both here, they would recognize these two people. These two were the famous Jadeite Sovereign and the current Palace Master of the Lunar Palace. One was a legendary Sovereign Martial Emperor of the Black Sea, and the other was the undisputable queen of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, a powerful Prime.

“You are truly ruthless. He caused such a big commotion just so he could see you once, but you did not even acknowledge him,” the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master said indifferently after she withdrew her gaze.

It seemed like the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master could see Fei Lengyi’s expression from several thousands of kilometers away.

A complicated look flashed in the Jadeite Sovereign’s eyes. After a while, he sighed and said, “I know why he is looking for me. He wants me to help him advance to Martial Emperor, so that he can live for another five hundred years. However, everyone has to die eventually. Even someone as strong as the Thunder Sovereign will die someday. He does not have sufficient Luck. Even if I help him advance, defying the heavens, he will only end up dying even more miserably.”

The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master said, “You don’t need to blame yourself. If you did not make a move a hundred years ago, he would have died in his Great Tribulation of wind and fire. He just does not know it.”

The Jadeite Sovereign smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Many thanks for your help this time. Otherwise, it would have caused an enormous disaster of an unknown scale.”

Fei Lengyi only concerned himself with his preparations. However, he did not know that word had leaked out long ago. He also did not realize that the trouble he made already caused a huge commotion in the circle of Martial Emperors.

If not for the Jadeite Sovereign and the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master working together to suppress the matter, sending only Yue Bingyun to deal with this, Fei Lengyi would have died several times over already.

“However, speaking of which, the successor you chose is really bold, directly inducing the Divine Weapon’s explosion. Back then, I spent a lot of effort reforging the Heavenly Blood Sword.”

When the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master heard the Jadeite Sovereign mention Yue Bingyun, she revealed a smile on her face, taking the Jadeite Sovereign’s words as a compliment. “What do you think? How is my successor?”

“Sophisticated, scheming, and audacious, her talent and Luck are above average. She can ensure that the Lunar Palace will not fall for another thousand years. However—” The Jadeite Sovereign suddenly paused halfway.

The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master looked up and prompted, “However, what?”

Smiling, the Jadeite Sovereign continued, “However, when she stands beside the Azure Emperor’s descendant, she pales in comparison. There is no pride in the depths of her bones. She also lacks the bearing of a sovereign, the kind that permeates from the inside out and can be brought out at a thought.

“Have you noticed that this youth’s bearing is already no inferior to that of the Azure Emperor from back then? In fact, it is even superior. His overwhelming Luck also makes others envious.”

When the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master heard this, she made a somewhat unhappy expression, though not because she was petty and unrestrained. It was just that the person that the Jadeite Sovereign praised was connected to the Azure Emperor, a person whom she bore a grudge against, a grudge that was hard to erase.

If they were talking about another youth, the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master would not have revealed such an expression.

“You are right. However, no matter what, he has only four more years. In the end, he will be like a meteor. Not to mention the Azure Emperor, in this age of geniuses, any other outstanding talent will be stronger than him.”

The Jadeite Sovereign was aware of some of the things that the Azure Emperor did to the Lunar Palace. Seeing that this topic dug up some deep-seated emotions in the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master, he did not pursue it.

“That’s right. Is the Life and Death Art of the Blood Sword Sovereign really in the Heavenly Blood Sword?” The Lunar Palace’s Palace Master suddenly recalled this matter and asked out of interest.

Jadeite Sovereign shook his head and said, “How could that be? If it really were there, I would have taken it out long ago. There is only a map in there that indicates a cave where the Blood Sword Sovereign cultivated in the past. As for whether the Life and Death Art is in the cave or not, I do not know.”

“How could you not know that? Could it be that you never went there?”

“I really did not go there. The time of the Blood Sword Sovereign was when the entire Black Sea Continent was still one. Even though I know that the location is on Black Water Island, the place has changed significantly over time. Even a Geomaster would need a lot of effort to figure out where it is exactly.”

After pausing for a while, the Jadeite Sovereign added, “Furthermore, even if I found the Life and Death Art, it would be useless to Martial Emperors. However, if a quasi-Emperor wants to use this Secret Technique to condense the Heart of an Emperor in advance, it would be extremely difficult. Not everyone possesses the same physique as the Blood Sword Sovereign, a high comprehension ability, and a determination that surpasses others.”

When the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master heard this, she immediately lost interest. “I will take my leave first. As for the matters here, I’ll leave them to the younger generation.”

She pushed off the ground, and the rainbow ribbon fluttered about. Then, her exquisite figure disappeared into the vast Starry Heavens.

As the Jadeite Sovereign stood in the Starry Heavens, he looked at Fei Lengyi from a distance. He muttered, “You never understood that a butterfly can spread its wings only after breaking out of its cocoon. If I help you break that cocoon, how can you truly fly? Sometimes, on the path of the Emperor, you have to learn to let go.”

Shaking his head, the Jadeite Sovereign pushed off the ground. Then, his figure also vanished.

“Bang!”

The instant the Jadeite Sovereign left, the stray asteroid exploded and turned into many meteors rushing towards the barrier of the sky. As they burned, they gave off boundless heat and light.

A meteor did indeed look pretty. However, its light only lasted for that instant, disappearing in a flash.
