Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1709 (Raw 1721): Overestimated Strength

On the second floor, the weapons hovering in the air were still Profound Tools. However, there were some Treasure Tools among them.

Xiao Chen did not even bother looking around, just headed straight for the third floor. On the third floor, the majority of the weapons were Treasure Tools, with a few Profound Tools mixed in.

On the fourth floor, almost all were Treasure Tools—high-quality Treasure Tools. However, there were not many peak Treasure Tools.

The fifth floor was filled with peak Treasure Tools. However, there were only a few people subduing the weapons here.

Ling Yu must have obtained that short sword on the fifth floor before getting surrounded and fleeing to the first floor, pulling away most of the cultivators.

Xiao Chen’s arrival immediately attracted the attention of the five or six people here. They stopped working on subduing the Treasure Tools and watched him warily.

Subduing a Treasure Tool was an extremely difficult process. It might even be dangerous.

What one feared the most at such a time was encountering an interruption or a sneak attack. Every time another person arrived, the people who were currently subduing Treasure Tools would be very cautious.

When these people saw no sign of Xiao Chen intending to attack, they resumed working on subduing these peak Treasure Tools. Their expressions were all very focused, and they clearly were putting in a lot of effort.

Aside from the restrictions in the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion, every good Treasure Tool had their own temper. If one was not fated with the weapon, subduing it would be exceptionally hard.

It was like taming an unruly horse, not as easy as expected. If one ran into a Treasure Tool with a bad temper, one might even get injured.

For example, there was a person trying to subdue a treasure sword. This sword flew all around the hall, moving freely in this Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion that put enormous pressure on the cultivators, extremely nimble.

The Heavenly Shaking Mountain’s Confucian scholar bitterly chased it. However, he got careless, and the treasure sword suddenly turned around.

The sword scabbard crashed into that Confucian scholar’s abdomen, inflicting so much pain that he fell to the floor with his face scrunched up.

However, this was still fine. Sometimes, the treasure sword would unsheathe and send out a strand of sword Qi. One might even lose one’s life.

All the unsubdued weapons in the Heavenly Shaking Mountain were like unruly, bad-tempered horses doing as they pleased. The Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion was like a natural horse ranch.

These weapons could move about freely, but the cultivators who came here suffered from many restrictions.

After observing for a while, Xiao Chen roughly figured out how to subdue these weapons. Then, he headed for the sixth floor.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen’s direction, some people immediately revealed shocked expressions.

“Friend, if you go up another level, there will be Dao Tools. The pressure there will be even greater. If you get careless, you might die,” the Confucian scholar sprawled on the floor warned kindly when he saw Xiao Chen heading for the sixth floor.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “Thanks.”

Right after Xiao Chen said that, he saw the treasure sword that the Confucian scholar was chasing earlier. He narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab it.

An extremely tyrannical Saber Might exploded forth from Xiao Chen’s body as he sucked that treasure sword, which was flying about happily, into his hand.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

The sword immediately trembled intensely like a wild horse trying to struggle free from Xiao Chen’s grasp.

The sword released an enormous force. With a serious expression, Xiao Chen held the sword tight, showing no intention to let go at all.

“Be careful. You can’t do this so recklessly!”

When that Confucian scholar saw this scene, his expression changed markedly. The other cultivators subduing Treasure Tools were startled.

In their fluster, they moved back quickly and gathered together. They all spread their Veritable Essence shields, taking defensive stances.

“Clang!”

The treasure sword unsheathed on its own. When it bared about two centimeters of its blade, it emitted an intense light. The sharp sword light inspired fear in others.

A strand of sword Qi shot at Xiao Chen’s eyes. At such a close distance, there was no possibility of dodging.

Xiao Chen quickly swung his left hand, the Veritable Essence Energy in his 9-Star Primal Core surging.

He caught that formless sword Qi between two fingers, causing it to turn into a sword light, which had a form. That sword light was only one centimeter from his face.

When Xiao Chen let go, the sword light shattered like it was a piece of ice. Then, he pressed his left hand forward.

Holding the hilt tightly, he pressed the treasure sword into the floor. When its scabbard had stabbed two centimeters in, it stopped trembling.

Xiao Chen tossed the treasure sword out, and it landed before that Confucian scholar. “For you.”

Xiao Chen had tested it out for himself, personally experiencing what it was like to subdue a Treasure Tool. This was preparation for subduing a Dao Tool later.

“Thanks...thank...you!”

That Confucian scholar was so shocked that he stammered a little. He did not expect this bit of fortune to come so suddenly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen could subdue this Treasure Tool so easily.

After charging up to the sixth floor, Xiao Chen clearly felt the pressure increase considerably. His feet felt like they were weighed down with lead, which made walking difficult. Occasionally, he had to use some Veritable Essence Energy to offset this pressure.

The sixth floor consisted mostly of Dao Tools. If they were not Dao Tools, they would be peak Treasure Tools like the Ink Cloud Sword.

There were only twenty-odd people on this floor; hence, this hall looked very spacious.

Everyone was focused on subduing the Dao Tool that interested them, not caring about anything else. Even when Xiao Chen came in, they merely glanced at him.

In such an environment, subduing a Dao Tool was already difficult enough. If there was nothing urgent, no one would entertain a distraction.

Of course, if someone truly subdued a Dao Tool, these people would suddenly attack as if they had been watching all the while.

A bloody stench...

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He looked around and immediately discovered two corpses.

One of the bodies had only one wound—at a vital spot. This person died in one strike. The other died in a very miserable fashion; the wounds on that body were clearly caused by multiple attacks.

These two corpses just lay there. The others ignored them, showing cold expressions that chilled the heart for some reason.

The value of a Dao Tool already caused these disciples of orthodox sects to ignore their humanity.

Xiao Chen did not find this strange. He simply looked around to find a Dao Tool suitable for him.

There was a total of three treasure sabers here, of different shapes.

The Dao Might of these Dao Tools was very strong. Unfortunately, they were all treasure sabers that he could not use.

For a saber, Xiao Chen did not have any objective requirements. He sought only one thing: fate!

He wanted a saber that could make him burn with desire from the moment he saw it. That was the saber he wanted.

One of the sabers seemed to have felt Xiao Chen’s gaze. “Whoosh!” That saber directly flew over to Xiao Chen.

That was a Dao Tool that was in the shape of a saber with a thick back. It had a strong sense of heaviness. This saber definitely had a boundlessly tyrannical nature that focused on ferocity and unyielding, sweeping attacks.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. The Saber Dao’s Great Dao Energy that he comprehended was rather interesting.

A Dao Tool choosing a master. Any bladesman who saw this would be happy.

Whether Xiao Chen needed this saber or not, who would not be happy at gaining acknowledgment like that?

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt many cold gazes on him. The ten-odd true inheritors of the various sects currently subduing Dao Tools all stopped what they were doing and looked at him coldly.

The true inheritors who dared to come here were definitely not like the two true inheritors Xiao Chen met on the first floor. Perhaps they were no match for Hua Yunfeng, but at the very least, they would be at Zhen Xuan’s level.

As the focus of ten-odd elite true inheritors, Xiao Chen felt some pressure.

He could feel that one of them also possessed a Great Desolate Eon Bloodline, and that person’s cultivation was at the late-stage Major Primal Core Realm.

“You are truly blessed with good fortune. I’m the Heavenly Profound Sect’s Gongzi Mo. I saw you at the Thunder Controlling Peak!”

When that person stepped forward, he stared coldly at Xiao Chen without a smile.

The Heavenly Profound Sect’s Gongzi Mo?

Xiao Chen found this name familiar. After thinking for a while, he recalled that this was the strongest true inheritor of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Although the Heavenly Profound Sect was just a Rank 3 sect of the Black Cave Mountain and not comparable to the Purple Flame Sect, being its strongest true inheritor would not be just empty fame.

Before Xiao Chen entered the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, Ling Yu told him about some people that Xiao Chen should take notice of. This Gongzi Mo was one of them.

Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. He said indifferently, “It’s an honor to meet you. Everyone, do not misunderstand. I won’t be taking this saber. Don’t worry.”

It was better to have one less problem than one more. Xiao Chen’s aim was the highest floor of the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion, the seventh floor. He did not want to get embroiled in unnecessary battles before going there.

“Haha! You are going to give up just because you want to? Is there a place for you to speak here? Subdue this saber and give it to me. Otherwise...you can forget about leaving this place alive.”

This Gongzi Mo did not give Xiao Chen any face. He said indifferently, “In the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, strength rules. This is not the Thunder Controlling Peak. You can forget about playing any tricks.”

Xiao Chen gave him a faint smile. “You want it? Here!”

Sensing Xiao Chen’s murderous intent and encouragement, the Dao Tool on the ground shot towards Gongzi Mo.

Six stars lit up on Xiao Chen’s 9-Star Primal Core.

At the same time, he infused his Veritable Essence Energy and the Saber Dao’s Great Dao Energy into the saber.

“Whoosh!”

The Dao Tool shone brilliantly. Gongzi Mo’s expression changed as he forcibly received this saber. When the Dao Might spread out, he was immediately knocked into the air of this sixth floor that had tremendous pressure; blood leaked out between his lips.

“Unfortunately, you could not catch it.”

Xiao Chen sneered in disdain, revealing some mockery. The might of the Dao Tool was really strong. When combined with his Veritable Essence Energy and his Great Dao Energy, it grew mightier.

To think that Gongzi Mo dared to threaten him when there was a Dao Tool eager to follow Xiao Chen. He truly overestimated his strength.
