Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1278: A Thought Can Form a Saber

Xiao Chen's white robes fluttered as he spun around. Then, he stepped on the edge of that three-kilometer-long sword. The sword fell straight down and stabbed one meter into the ground.

When Xiao Chen descended, he landed stably on the handle of the gargantuan sword, his white robes and long hair waving in the wind. He looked like a powerful bladesman with clear grace.

The Heavenly Province Academy old man's face turned green immediately. It was like what Xiao Chen stomped on was not a sword but his face.

As Xiao Chen stood on the handle of the gargantuan sword, he looked around at the remaining ten weapons. These weapons were not from Martial Emperors of any of the Holy Lands and were significantly weaker than the earlier four.

Xiao Chen held his saber in front of him with his right hand. Now, his mind was completely calm.

Saber Domain! Xiao Chen muttered in his heart.

The Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand immediately came out of its sheath. As the blade of the saber emerged from the scabbard, so did the lightning Saber Domain that had already moved from outward power to subtlety.

Thunderclouds filled the place. Everywhere within one kilometer was Xiao Chen's world.

The entire place was filled with saber intent. Nowhere was absent of it. With a single thought, Xiao Chen could form a saber.

"Whoosh!"

As the saber light flashed, the Astral Energy and boundless sword intent in the four gargantuan weapons on the high platform, and every other energy within one kilometer of Xiao Chen all merged into the saber that he drew from the scabbard.

A vast, unparalleled saber intent could be felt from the saber. As Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber and looked at the ten oncoming weapons, he brandished his saber to his heart's content.

This saber destroyed all the auras and states in those ten gargantuan weapons.

Xiao Chen's heart filled with lofty sentiments as he soared into the air and sent out another saber strike. A vast purple saber Qi carried a strong aura as it swept through the sky, looking like a purple meteor.

He landed one saber strike on the weapon from the Jiang Clan, an ancient Noble Clan, sending it to land beside the gargantuan sword.

Then, Xiao Chen struck another gargantuan weapon, this one from a Vice Palace Master of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace, making it land with a 'boom.'

Xiao Chen's white robes fluttered as he whirled around in the sky with his treasure saber before the many powerhouses.

All the tens of thousands of guests goggled and gaped as they watched Xiao Chen dance in the air, making a gargantuan weapon fall with each saber strike he sent out.

Even the group of people on the Western Sea Dragon King's side all goggled at the sight of this, clearly in disbelief.

How much grace did one have to have before one could dance around before powerhouses like that, stunning everyone into silence?

Purple saber Qi sweeping through the sky, the white-robed Xiao Chen dancing in the air while holding his saber, the three-kilometer-long weapons suddenly falling to the ground—this seemed to be the only thing happening that caught everyone's attention.

At a place that Xiao Chen could not see, in the clouds far away from Heavenly Dragon City were many waiting warships.

One of the warships was densely bedecked with Astral Banners. This was the Cyclic Astral Palace's Emperor Grade warship, which the Cyclic Astral Palace's Palace Master had personally taken command of, carrying a group of younger-generation disciples as well as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter from the Sun Palace and the Moon Palace.

This group of people also saw the scene at the Azure Dragon Plaza. They all rushed to the frontmost part of the deck and looked into the distance, not daring to believe their eyes.

Chu Yang muttered, "How can it be? How did he do it? He caught all fourteen weapons."

Similar scenes happened on the other warships as well. With a careful look, one would discover that the Eastern Sea Dragon King, the Northern Sea Dragon King, the Five Poison Sect's Sect Master, the Heavenly Province Academy's Sect Master, and the Yinyang Paradise's Sect Master, as well as other major characters, were all here.

On the warship of the Lunar Palace, Yue Bingyun's eyes lit up when she saw this scene.

The Lunar Palace's Palace Master rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, she had not agreed to the Western Sea Dragon King's plan. Otherwise, the aloof Lunar Palace would have ended up disgracing itself too.

"Whoosh!"

When the last gargantuan weapon fell, landing beside another one, Xiao Chen sheathed the saber. Now, he had subdued all fourteen gargantuan weapons, lining all of them on the high platform.

As Xiao Chen's figure slowly descended, he glanced at the stunned Western Sea Dragon King and said calmly, "Men! Bring the Western Sea Dragon King and the other dignitaries from the Holy Lands and ancient Noble Clans to the seats for honored guests. The Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony will continue."

Seats and tables were replaced on the high platform.

Two pretty maidservants at the entrance to the plaza smiled, extending their hands in invitation. This was clearly an incomparably respectful gesture, but it made the Western Sea Dragon King and the others feel very embarrassed and frustrated in their hearts.

The situation had not developed in the direction they expected. At this point, they could no longer find any excuse to continue causing trouble.

The Western Sea Dragon King's face was extremely red. As he clenched his right fist, his body trembled uncontrollably. He no longer showed the air of a Dragon King.

Xiao Chen gently drifted down, returning to the host's seat in the middle. The Western Sea Dragon King, as well as the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor elders from the Holy Lands, sat at his left side.

The other Martial Emperor honored guests of lesser renown sat at Xiao Chen's right.

The Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony continued. Lan Shaobai followed the reestablishment ceremonies of some ancient sects, proceeding in a methodically arranged manner.

When Xiao Chen saw this, he knew that Lan Shaobai had put in a lot of effort for the ceremony to appear like that. Lan Shaobai ensured the necessary scale of the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony without any major careless mistake, conforming with the norms of society.

This suited Xiao Chen's intent. There was no need to make the scale too grand. It was fine just to follow through with all the necessary steps. The most important thing was to be able to successfully unveil the monument and declare to the world that the Dragon's Gate was reestablished.

He needed to make known to the world the existence of the Dragon's Gate, to spread the stories of the Dragon's Gate and formlessly let the newly reborn Dragon's Gate become a part of this world and obtain Luck.

On the surface, things were going well. However, Xiao Chen was well aware of his current situation.

Ao Lang, your rotten idea is truly incredible. You caused so many Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors to be embarrassed along with you.

It's all your fault. What kind of broken idea is this, using power to suppress others, putting pressure on Xiao Chen? Look at things now. You made us all into a joke. Are you satisfied now?

I already said long ago, when we make our move, no matter how strong we are, there is a limit. We cannot underestimate Xiao Chen's potential.

This old man has wandered the world for a thousand years, and this is the first time I embarrassed myself this much. Western Sea Dragon King, you have to take responsibility for this, no matter what.

On the surface, the Western Sea Dragon King and the others were drinking wine and watching the various programs of the ceremony. However, they secretly sent voice projections to each other, all of them blaming the Western Sea Dragon King.

Ao Lang did not say a single word, feeling very aggrieved. He had been the proposer of this idea. Originally, he had been very confident in this plan. Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen would manage to turn things around? This outcome simply caught Ao Lang off guard. As he faced the finger-pointing of the others, he showed a sullen expression and did not make a rebuttal.

I, Ao Lang, will take responsibility for this. After this matter is over, I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer.

As Ao Lang watched Xiao Chen offering toasts to the honored guests, appearing magnificent as he smiled, the rage in his heart blazed even stronger.

If Ao Lang could directly attack Xiao Chen, he would have already done so long ago, personally dealing with Xiao Chen.

"Piang!"

Suddenly, Ao Lang, who was drinking wine, dropped the jade wine flask in his hand on the floor. When the wine flask broke, fine wine spilled everywhere, giving off an enticing fragrance.

Ao Lang's actions startled everyone. The originally noisy platform immediately turned silent.

Although the many honored guests were startled at Ao Lang's actions, they were not surprised. He had not come here to drink wine and offer congratulations in the first place. How could he simply just sit still and drink wine? He would definitely be thinking of how to cause trouble at any moment, to hinder the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony.

Furthermore, when Ao Lang offered his congratulatory gift, he meant to give Xiao Chen a slap to the face, yet Xiao Chen ended up turning it into a slap to Ao Lang's face. He must have felt very frustrated and could no longer endure it anymore.

Xiao Chen remained calm. He raised his hands to stop the angry Dragon's Gate's people. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the Western Sea Dragon King. "Senior, if you are not satisfied with the wine or the wine flask, I can get someone to change it out."

The Western Sea Dragon King did not say anything. Instead, he started laughing coldly. After a while, he held his wine cup up and drawled, "Azure Dragon King, you don't really think that we came from such a distance just to offer you congratulations and drink your wine, right?

"Do you know why I smashed this wine flask? This wine is indeed an excellent fine wine. However, the wine flask is merely made out of hundred-year-old jade. With such an inferior wine flask, how could it match the peak grade wine?"

Xiao Chen was very intelligent. How could he not understand what the other party meant? He replied calmly, "Senior Ao, just speak directly. There is no need to beat about the bush."

Ao Lang said indifferently, "You want me to speak directly? In that case, I will speak directly for you. This wine flask is you, the Azure Dragon King. The Dragon's Gate is the peak grade fine wine. As an inferior wine flask, you cannot contain this fine wine. If you do so forcefully, others will only look down on you and smash you to pieces.

"If you obstinately cling to your own way today, reestablishing the Dragon's Gate, you will end up like this wine flask."

"Piang! Piang! Piang!"

With Ao Lang taking the lead, the other elders from the Holy Lands, ancient Noble Clans, and the Divine Dragon Palaces of the four seas, all smashed their wine flask on the ground one after another.

Instantly, the sound of jade wine flasks breaking rang out endlessly.

They were turning hostile!

The Western Sea Dragon King's group decided to completely shed all forms of cordiality, no longer beating about the bush and directly threatening Xiao Chen.

The atmosphere turned treacherous once again. With just a single disagreement, there would be a huge battle.

"Interesting. A Sovereign Martial Emperor leading a group of Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors in behaving like hoodlums."

"The funnier thing is that their opponent is only a Consummation quasi-Emperor. Probably only the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen can push them to this point."

"With so many major characters, even if it was just the Western Sea Dragon King, Xiao Chen would probably be pushed into a corner."

"After today, the reputation of this group of people is going to stink to high heavens."

The situation on the high platform was well received. It did not cause much surprise to the other honored guests and the other cultivators in the plaza.

In reality, the crowd did not hold much hope for Xiao Chen's reestablishment of the Dragon's Gate. The truly surprising thing was that the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen could receive the many congratulatory gifts, dancing around in the air before so many powerhouses.

Ao Lang stood up and demanded coldly, "Are you not going to speak? Does keeping silent mean you have a chance? Are you that naive to think that you will be able to continue the reestablishment ceremony smoothly after just catching some congratulatory gifts?!"

Xiao Chen maintained his calm expression. He swirled the wine cup in his hand and looked in a certain direction in the sky for some reason.

In that direction, behind the boundless clouds, the many major characters sitting on the warships watched coldly as events unfolded.
