Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1155: Calamity Dragon

Xiao Chen moved the fingers on one hand. Beams of light appeared on his fingers, and the terrains in his mind quickly materialized in his palm. The speed at which the image changed was so fast that the human eye could not see it clearly.

Aside from the terrain being somewhat visible, the others could only see all sorts of strange dragon-shaped energies flickering continuously as Xiao Chen moved his fingers. It all looked very profound.

After ten breaths, Xiao Chen felt a piercing pain in his regular eyes. He immediately closed the Heavenly Eye on his forehead as well as his regular eyes.

Xiao Chen’s white robes fluttered about, moving with the wind. He focused fully on making calculations, merging with the world. As his fingers moved, the land for five hundred kilometers before him gave off all sorts of dragon sounds. Occasionally, Dragon Qi tore through the ground and soared into the clouds.

“That is a strong dragon!”

“That is a massacre dragon!”

“That is a calamity dragon!”

The various Geomasters recognized the various Dragon Veins that the movements of Xiao Chen’s fingers uncovered. At this moment, these Geomasters no longer looked down on Xiao Chen. They did not even dare to breathe heavily. As they watched Xiao Chen’s Dragon Seeking Art, their eyes filled with awe and respect.

Xiao Chen’s skill at seeking dragons and fixing veins was indeed much more exquisite than theirs. They had no choice but to submit.

After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the various dragon figures vanished. His gesture was extremely casual and confident. Now, he already obtained some answers in his heart.

The many quasi-Emperors here turned ashen. Based on what happened so far, it was already clear whose skill at Dragon Seeking Arts was higher.

As for who won the bet with Xiao Chen, the answer was also clear.

However, it was impossible for these quasi-Emperors to admit their loss and shout “I am a pig!” three times in front of everyone. If they really said it, in less than half a day, this matter would spread throughout the entire Black Sea. By then, they would not have any face to remain in this sea region anymore.

Yue Bingyun felt somewhat happy. It serves you all right for looking down on others. Now, you will suffer the consequences. She smiled gently and said, “I wonder if the bet still counts. This little girl saw everything very clearly from the very start to the end.”

These words could be considered a threat. If these old men went back on their words and this matter got out, it would likewise embarrass them greatly.

The black-clad old man who initiated the bet flushed red. After remaining silent for a long time, he said sullenly, “Little girl, there is no need to try and provoke me. This old man is true to his word. It is no big deal. I will go far away from the Black Sea—”

Just as the black-clad old man was about to take the lead in shouting “I am a pig,” Xiao Chen turned his head back and stopped him. “Never mind. All the seniors here are advanced in age and should not have to suffer this humiliation. I am also not an overbearing and arrogant person. Everyone can just take this as a small lesson. One should not just mock and try to suppress someone, even if it is a snot-nosed brat who is completely unheard of.

“I will still quote the same saying, ‘It does not matter where a hero comes from.’ You never can tell, the person you mock today may end up climbing to the peak in the future, laughing at the world from the peak!”

The moment Xiao Chen said this, these old men were all able to release their bated breath, feeling much more comfortable. They had all lived for several hundred years already. If they really said such words, they would completely embarrass themselves.

Now that these people adjusted their attitudes, they all viewed Xiao Chen in a new light. They now realized that he possessed an intangible atmosphere that was very strong, even stronger than that of those Martial Emperors who had climbed to the top.

Xiao Chen’s mental state also far surpassed these old men’s.

The black-clad old man performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “I learned my lesson this time. Many thanks to Little Brother for being lenient. This old man owes you a favor.”

The other quasi-Emperors all performed cupped-fist salutes in thanks as well. At the same time, someone could not help asking, “Little Brother, would you be willing to tell us your great name?”

Everyone guessed that an outstanding talent like Xiao Chen would not be completely unheard of, so they could not help feeling curious about his identity.

Since the other party asked, Xiao Chen would not hide it. His true identity would spread sooner or later. He answered honestly, “My humble self is Xiao Chen: Xiao with the grass head, and Chen with a sun head.”

“Xiao Chen!” The many old men repeated this name to themselves. However, they had never heard of an outstanding young talent in the Black Sea with this name.

Only that black-clad old man showed an enlightened expression after thinking for a while. “Xiao Chen, are you the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, the descendant of the Azure Emperor, the Azure Dragon King that the Martial God Palace’s Thunder Sovereign favors?!”

This question surprised Xiao Chen. There actually were quasi-Emperor experts in the Black Sea who had heard of his title as the Azure Dragon King. He nodded and said, “I am indeed he.”

With this, the expressions of the many quasi-Emperors looking at Xiao Chen changed. The fame of the Azure Emperor went without saying. He was a legend of his time; everyone had heard of his name before.

The Thunder Sovereign was an expert who was the Azure Emperor’s contemporary, known as a living legend. They had really made a great mistake. Who could have thought that this outstanding young talent before them had such an impressive background?

Yue Bingyun smiled, reducing her eyes to slits. As she sized up Xiao Chen, she found him increasingly unfathomable. He seemed to possess a strange charm that attracted others to him.

“I wonder if Little Brother Xiao Chen figured out anything when opening the Heavenly Eye earlier?” the black-clad old man asked politely.

Xiao Chen shook his head and replied, “The terrain here is overly complicated. Finding the cave in a few mere moments would truly be too difficult. However, there are a few possibilities to check out. If everyone is interested, how about we go together?”

When the others heard this, they all rejoiced. The black-clad quasi-Emperor smiled and said, “Brother Xiao Chen, you are definitely a friend to me. Honestly speaking, the Geomasters we managed to invite are not that skilled. The peak Geomasters in Black Water City were all taken by those Consummation quasi-Emperors already. As for the remaining ones, as you have seen…”

Xiao Chen looked at those somewhat embarrassed Geomasters. Then, he smiled and said, “Let’s go. If you believe in this Xiao’s words, you can come with me.”

“Favorable leads to prosperity, opposing leads to death.” These words were not just nonsense that Xiao Chen spouted. There was indeed such a saying in ancient geomancy.

Generally, Dragon Veins could be split into two types. One was the favorable type, such as the strong dragon, fat dragon, and noble dragon. The second was the opposing type, like the poor dragon, thin dragon, weak dragon, and others.

“Opposing leads to death” meant that this was a place suitable for the burial of the dead. The graves of experts should be placed where opposing Dragon Veins lay, in order to bless the descendants. On the other hand, the favorable Dragon Veins were prepared for the living. The cave was clearly a place where a person cultivated when he was alive. Naturally, it would be in a favorable Dragon Vein.

[Note: Geomancy, or feng shui, originated from determining the auspicious placement of a person’s grave in order to bless one’s descendants. Now, geomancy or feng shui is used to manipulate the flow of luck using the environment, hence its name, feng shui, which is literally translated as wind and water.]

When the Blood Sword Sovereign first built his cave for cultivating, he definitely would have sought the advice of a strong Geomaster to determine the best place to establish it.

The group of people followed behind Xiao Chen and searched all the Dragon Veins one by one. However, the results were not good—either these Dragon Veins were empty, or someone had already searched it. So there was nothing gained.

After searching for three days, they had examined and emptied out all the Dragon Veins within five hundred kilometers. Even so, there were no signs of the Blood Sword Sovereign’s cave. However, there were some unexpected gains. They managed to find caves where some other experts cultivated in before. The gains from these places could be considered a consolation.

Towards the latter part, all the Dragon Veins that Xiao Chen went to had all been emptied out already.

Clearly, Xiao Chen was not the only skilled Geomaster.

Despite finding nothing within these five hundred kilometers, Xiao Chen did not lose his patience. He already expected this. The western part of Black Water Island was astonishingly huge and covered a vast area. Finding the cave quickly would be impossible.

Before he set out, he had already made the necessary mental preparations. Everything was going as he expected.

When the many quasi-Emperors saw Xiao Chen’s skill at the Dragon Seeking Arts, they all sighed in admiration, especially when they looked at the places he chose. These places were emptied out long ago, which proved that Xiao Chen’s insight was no inferior to that of the Geomasters whom those Consummation quasi-Emperors invited.

Along the way, the ordinary Geomasters sought advice from Xiao Chen on questions they had about geomancy.

Xiao Chen took some time out to answer those questions. Along the way, the many quasi-Emperors also asked him about his martial studies, exchanging information.

The discussion mostly focused on Xiao Chen’s mysterious and amazing saber Dao. He did not hide anything. As long as it did not touch on his core trump cards, he would answer patiently.

As a result, Xiao Chen’s group of people had a good atmosphere on their journey. They even seemed to forget their true purpose.

As for the other groups searching for the cave, they radiated surging murderous intent. After not being able to find what they sought, they became increasingly frustrated. Several fights already occurred.

When Xiao Chen saw these people, he would avoid them. The thing he hated the most was getting dragged into a meaningless fight, lashing out from frustration. However, if someone tried to use this excuse to bully him, he would mercilessly return the favor.

Xiao Chen opened his Heavenly Eye once again. After using several Secret Techniques, he verified a massacre Dragon Vein. A massacre dragon fell under the category of favorable. Its corresponding Dragon Vein was the calamity dragon. Building a cave at the massacre dragon would be of great help to the master of the cave.

Of the many favorable Dragon Veins, the massacre dragon was the most suitable location for cultivating.

Xiao Chen closed his Heavenly Eye, and his figure flashed, zooming towards the mountain range he targeted. The group of quasi-Emperors behind him quickly followed.

These quasi-Emperors could not find a better Geomaster and could not openly and boldly trail behind some of the Consummation quasi-Emperors. Doing so would incur the ire of the other party and bring trouble down on themselves.

Those who followed Xiao Chen were really fortunate. What was even more fortunate for them was that after communicating with him, they found that the seemingly cold Xiao Chen did not put on any airs.

Yue Bingyun’s and Xiao Chen’s Movement Techniques were clearly superior to those of the group of Great Perfection quasi-Emperors, allowing the two to fly much faster than them.

When the two reached the foot of that mountain range, the large group of quasi-Emperors still needed some time to catch up.

“Not bad. No one touched this place yet. It should be promising.” Yue Bingyun smiled gently. She was very optimistic, having said this several times already.

Xiao Chen casually formed hand seals and said with a smile, “I hope so too.”

He executed some of the tricks from the Paradise Secret Canon. A crack opened at the foot of the tall mountain range, and strands of Dragon Qi soared into the clouds, producing endless dragon roars.

Just based on these strands of Dragon Qi, Xiao Chen could determine that this was the most ordinary Rank 1 Spirit Vein. Quasi-Emperors would not be interested in it at all, nor would Martial Sages.

As for the Blood Sword Sovereign, that would be even more unlikely. However, it had been a very long time. While it was of a low rank now, that might not have been so fifty thousand years ago. There was still a small possibility that this was the right place.
