Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1290: Peach Trees in Full Blossom, Appearing Very Beautiful

The person who took action possessed a pale, handsome face. His delicate appearance gave off an unconstrained feeling like that of a cool breeze, which made it very hard for another person to associate him with a Demon who cultivated Demonic Qi.

There was an ancient purple pattern on this person's forehead—the mark of nobility that only the bloodline of the eighteen Demon Monarchs could have. Simply speaking, these were royal marks.

If Xiao Chen were here, he would find these marks familiar. He had once seen a similar mark on the Eros Demon Leng Yue's forehead.

"Feng Ziyi, the saber intent in that saber Qi already surpassed that of a saber soul. It is from a powerful bladesman who already has a foundational comprehension of a Saber Domain."

[TL Note: The translation of Feng Ziyi would be wind purple wing.]

A melodious voice resounded. The one who spoke was a beautiful girl, who looked very alluring, not far away from Feng Ziyi.

She had a similar royal mark on her forehead and wore leather clothes that revealed a lot of her skin. She also a slim tail behind her. This was an Eros Demon.

Feng Ziyi gently nodded. "There are no experts of this level in the Sky Dome Realm. It should be an outstanding human talent that came down from the Kunlun Realm."

"Should we change our plan?" The leather-clad girl smiled flirtatiously. This question was clearly phrased as a request, but it contained a tone of challenge.

Faint desire flashed in Feng Ziyi's eyes. He said, "Yao Manlan, your Charm Techniques are truly ingrained deep into your bones. I simply cannot think of anyone who would not fall for them."

Peach trees in full blossom, appearing very beautiful, leaving a fragrance in one's nose. Yao Manlan, this was indeed an extraordinary name.

[TL Note: The above is a poem related to the name Yao Manlan.]

Yao Manlan smiled faintly. She quite enjoyed the praises of the top outstanding talent of the Winged Demon's Demon Monarch's line.

"Are you mocking me? Despite the desire in your eyes, your heart has not wavered at all."

"Haha! That is natural. If you want to shake my heart, you will need to see if that Demon Monarch Leng Yue of yours can do it first or not," Feng Ziyi said indifferently with a proud tone.

Disdain flashed in Yao Manlan's eyes. She thought to herself, Her Majesty Leng Yue's Charm Technique already reached the peak long ago, able to affect the mind and soul. With just one look at you, she can grab hold of your mind and turn you into a loyal slave.

Yao Manlan did not linger on this topic, returning to her previous question. "The plan, should we change it or not? You have not answered me yet."

When Feng Ziyi heard this, he laughed loudly. Then, he showed a tyrannical look in his eyes. "Change? What for? Martial Emperors are not permitted to come to this Sky Dome Realm. Who can stop me? Even if a Martial Emperor came, I, Feng Ziyi, do not fear that. Why would there need to be any change?"

Seeing Feng Ziyi's arrogance, Yao Manlan felt a tinge of displeasure. Of the eighteen Demon Monarchs' lines, the Winged Demon's was the most arrogant and unruly, always very confident of themselves.

However, Yao Manlan did not say anything. This Feng Ziyi did indeed have the right to be arrogant. He was not yet fifty years old, but he had already managed to kill a Martial-Emperor-level Demonic Beast in the Deep Abyss Demonic World—a truly incredible feat.

Yao Manlan said, "In that case, we will follow the original plan. Both of us will charge into the Sky Dome Immortal Realm and use force to snatch away the remaining half of the Sky Dome Heart."

Feng Ziyi said tyrannically, "Naturally. Why would we need to think up of any plans to deal with a group of old fools? We can just kill our way in."

"However, this person—"

A murderous intent flashed in Feng Ziyi's eyes as he interrupted, "He had better not appear. If he does, I will make sure that my servant did not die for nothing."

Back at Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He felt that saber Qi of his getting shattered by someone.

"Although this saber Qi was only the product of a casual saber strike, that Demon was a spent force already. How could he still have the means to shatter my saber Qi?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Chen could only conclude that this Demon had a companion.

Xiao Chen initially intended to continue cultivating, but he now had second thoughts. A Demon that could easily shatter a strand of his saber Qi was rather strong, at least twice as strong as the Demon that appeared at Qingyun Peak.

How could there be such a formidable person in the Sky Dome Realm? Suspicions woke in his heart.

Could it be the Dark Church returning to the Sky Dome Realm and sending someone to establish a branch?

That was very possible. Of the three thousand lower realms, the Sky Dome Realm was the most mysterious. The Dark Church could not possibly give up on this place.

"I have to make a trip to the Royal Palace and warn Ying Yue."

Xiao Chen did not have any thoughts of destroying the Dark Church here, which was just a branch. Even if it were destroyed, the headquarters of the Dark Church in the Deep Abyss Demonic World would be able to send another person to reestablish the branch. Unless he had the ability to enter the Demonic Worlds and destroy the headquarters of the entire Dark Church, there was no need to waste any effort on doing something so pointless.

However, Xiao Chen's friends and family were in the Great Qin Nation. He needed to give Ying Yue a warning to put her on guard.

---

Xiao Chen spent some time traveling several hundred kilometers to the Great Qin Nation's Royal Court. When he arrived, he got someone to send word. Soon, he met with the noble, valiant, and formidable-looking Ying Yue.

"Haha! What wind blew you here this time? Are you here to ask about this Liu Ruyue again? I tried thinking about it several times already. There is indeed no one by this name in my memories." Ying Yue smiled as she looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Having already figured out what happened with Liu Ruyue, he naturally was not here to trouble Ying Yue about that. "It's not. There is another reason."

Then, Xiao Chen started speaking of his earlier encounter and his guesses to Ying Yue.

After Ying Yue heard him out, her eyebrows knitted together tightly. "That's not right. If the Dark Church were reestablishing a branch, I should have received word long ago. After the last time you returned, the Dark Church pulled back for some reason. There has been no news about it since then.

"Furthermore, the Demon that you met was a Winged Demon. Even if they were reestablishing the Dark Church, they would get a human that worships the Demon God to do it. The Dark Church and the eighteen Demon Races would not interfere."

Xiao Chen knew about this, but he had not thought of it earlier. Now that Ying Yue reminded him, he felt that it was rather strange.

Since these Demons were not here to reestablish the Dark Church, what were they doing in the Sky Dome Realm where the Spiritual Energy was very thin and sparse?

As Xiao Chen thought about it, inspiration flashed in his mind. "Could they be here for the Sky Dome Immortal Realm? There are places in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm that even I feel are problematic. There must be some Immortal Epoch treasure in there."

"That should not be the case. The treasures of the Immortal Epoch are useless to them."

Ying Yue quickly rejected this guess. It was impossible that the Demons were here for treasures from the Immortal Epoch.

"Could it be…"

Ying Yue's expression suddenly changed; she seemed to have thought of something, possibly something secret and not convenient to tell Xiao Chen about.

Xiao Chen was very intelligent and guessed what was going on. "It is not convenient to tell me about it?"

Ying Yue thought for a while before looking at Xiao Chen and replying, "Telling you is fine. You know that the Sky Dome Realm does not permit Martial Emperors coming down, right?"

Xiao Chen nodded. He learned about this long ago. The other lower realms did not have such a restriction; only the Sky Dome Realm did.

Furthermore, this was a restriction set by both the Kunlun Realm's upper echelon and the Deep Abyss Demon Monarchs. Xiao Chen had long been very curious about this.

Could it be that Ying Yue knows the reason?

Ying Yue trusted Xiao Chen. When she mentioned this, she already had no intention of hiding anything. "Your thoughts are right. I do know the reason behind that. Every Royal Court is aware of the reason. The Sky Dome Immortal Lord was the leader of the three thousand Immortal Lords during the Immortal Epoch. If a person completely grasps the Sky Dome Realm, he can swallow up the other lower realms and form a huge world, one on par with the Deep Abyss Demonic World and the Kunlun Realm.

"Ten thousand years ago, the last Tianwu Emperor became ambitious and wanted to swallow up the three thousand lower realms. Furthermore, he wanted to fight with the Deep Abyss Demonic World and the Kunlun Realm, to become the ruler of three great worlds."

Xiao Chen's expression changed. Unexpectedly, the destruction of the Tianwu Dynasty had such a secret.

Ying Yue continued, "You know the story of what happened afterwards. The Tianwu Dynasty was destroyed, and the Sky Dome Realm was divided into five nations; no one could unify it and rule over all of it."

Xiao Chen thought about something. His expression turned sullen as he said, "Given that, the destruction of the Tianwu Dynasty was actually the result of the interference of both the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World."

"I'm not aware of the specifics; probably no one is. In any case, after the Tianwu Dynasty was destroyed, the Kunlun Realm's upper echelon and the Deep Abyss Demon Monarchs came to an agreement that no one was allowed to send down Martial Emperors or permit the presence of any Martial Emperors in the Sky Dome Realm.

"They feared that a Martial Emperor would unify the Sky Dome Realm and become an existence that threatens both sides. The World Heart of the Sky Dome Realm was split between the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World, each side holding one half.

"After that, the Sky Dome Realm's Luck suffered a setback. Since then, the agreement has lasted until today."

After Xiao Chen heard all this, he forgot about the Demons coming to the Sky Dome Realm. Instead, he thought of something even deeper.

The Tianwu Dynasty did indeed get destroyed as a result of the attacks from the Deep Abyss Demonic World and the Kunlun Realm. However, that was not the main point.

The main point was the two people from ten thousand years ago—the last Tianwu Emperor and the Azure Emperor Xiao Teng, who ruled the Kunlun Realm.

From Ying Yue's words, that the Tianwu Emperor wanted to swallow up the three thousand lower realms and compete with the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World, Xiao Chen could conclude that the Tianwu Emperor was horrifyingly strong, probably of the same level as the Azure Emperor.

Furthermore, based on the information that Xiao Chen found in the Kunlun Realm, the last Tianwu Emperor and the Azure Emperor were good friends. Nevertheless, the last Tianwu Emperor happened to die at the hands of the Azure Emperor.

In the end, the Azure Emperor, who killed the last Tianwu Emperor, did not have a good end, either. He died and the Dragon's Gate followed him.

Which was to say, the destruction of the Tianwu Dynasty caused the downfall of two powerful, ambitious overlords, concluding grudges.

What happened ten thousand years ago? Xiao Chen entered deep thought.

The originally vast and complicated situation became increasingly clearer in Xiao Chen's mind. All he needed was a crucial piece of information to solve all the riddles.

This crucial piece of information was like a key. With this key, the rest would not be a problem.

However, the problem right now was where to find this piece of information.

"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen! What are you thinking about?" Ying Yue called out, frowning slightly at the sight of Xiao Chen's distraction.

Xiao Chen recovered his wits and saw Ying Yue's unhappy expression. He quickly apologized, "Sorry, I was thinking of something else and got sidetracked. Where were we? Please continue."

Ying Yue said helplessly, "Speaking of the Sky Dome Realm's World Heart, this World Heart is also known as the Sky Dome Heart. Each side holds one half of it. Whoever grasps the complete Sky Dome Heart would be considered to have truly grasped the Sky Dome Realm. After gathering the nine Dragon Veins, one can start swallowing up the other lower realms."
