Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 995: Ice Immortal Pearl



After Xia Houjue put on the White Tiger King Armor, he looked very mighty. A sect immediately came forward to present a gift.

This sect offered a Peak Spirit Vein. The wealth of a Rank 9 sect was indeed extraordinary.

As Xia Houjue received the gifts, he smiled faintly and looked playfully at Xiao Chen.

“The Thousand Mystery Sect congratulates Young Master Xia Houjue on being conferred King. We hereby offer up fifty tons of Black Patterned Gold.”

“The Clear Water Sect congratulates Young Master Xia Houjue on being conferred King. We hereby offer up fifty tons of one-thousand-year-old Profound Iron.”

“The Blood Saber Pavilion congratulates Young Master Xia Houjue on being conferred King. We hereby offer up a peak King Grade Secret Treasure.”

Given the connections of the White Emperor City’s Holy Master, all the Rank 9 sects of the Tianwu Domain, aside from the Supreme Sky Sect, offered gifts. The scene looked very majestic.

This procession continued for an hour before the number of people from the Tianwu Domain offering gifts dwindled down.

Delighted, Xia Houjue smiled. He purposely waved at Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Xiao, there are too many gifts, my hands are rather tired from accepting them. If Brother Xiao does not receive any gifts, you can come over later and pick a few.”

The black-clad old man smiled and said, “This is the difference between a Holy Land and an ordinary sect. Some people are so bold, even daring to be conferred King together with Young Master Xia.”

Xiao Chen frowned, not understanding what there was to be pleased about. He only cared about the title of Azure Dragon King. Aside from this, the rest was pointless.

As for congratulations and gifts, he really did not care about them. All he cared about now was his title.

Xia Houjue was the White Tiger King. Would Xiao Chen be the White Robed King or the Azure Dragon King?

If it was the former, then there was no need for Xiao Chen to remain at this King conferral ceremony. He would beat up Xia Houjue and vent out all his frustrations before leaving.

If it was the Azure Dragon King, he could endure his frustration for now and vent it later.

The announcement of Xia Houjue’s title was already finished. Next up was receiving his insignia and pledging loyalty to the Martial God Palace. After these, he would truly be the Martial God Palace’s White Tiger King.

Xia Houjue would be able to declare his own King title outside. Within the Martial God Palace’s territory, he would receive special treatment.

However, Xiao Chen’s King title had to be announced, and he needed to receive congratulations and gifts first before Xia Houjue could receive his insignia.

The black-clad old man took out the Martial God Palace’s announcement reluctantly. “Xiao Chen, one million military merits, conferred the Azure Dragon King by the Thunder Sovereign himself.”

Compared to Xia Houjue’s lengthy announcement, the black-clad old man’s announcement of Xiao Chen’s King title was much simpler, his tone clearly unwilling and half-hearted.

However, these meager words, especially the last few “by the Thunder Sovereign himself” caused everyone present to suck in a deep breath of air.

Xiao Chen’s title was actually personally conferred by the Thunder Sovereign, the strongest expert of the human race, a legend from the same period as the Azure Emperor. To everyone, this was not a minor matter.

When Xia Houjue saw everyone’s reactions, he felt displeased. He thought to himself, Just wait. Let’s see how many gifts you receive.

Let’s see how pleased you will be when you receive a pile of rubbish.

“The Supreme Sky Sect’s Shui Lingling congratulates Xiao Chen on being conferred King!”

When the black-clad old man finished reading the announcement, Shui Lingling flew over holding a wooden box. She walked over to Xiao Chen after she landed and smiled. “Junior Brother, congratulations on being conferred King. This is my gift.”

Xiao Chen received the wooden box and was not in a rush to open it. He raised his head and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”

“Are you not going to open it to take a look?” Shui Lingling blinked.

Standing at the side, Xia Houjue mocked, “It is just trash. How could he have the nerve to open it?”

Xiao Chen frowned. He was already extremely frustrated with the Three Holy Lands, especially the City Master of the White Emperor City.

It was not an exaggeration to say that his path to being conferred Kingship was filled with death.

Fortunately, the Thunder Sovereign stood up for him and helped him obtain the Azure Dragon King title, so Xiao Chen did not want to cause trouble now.

When Xiao Chen gently opened the wooden box, cold Qi surged out. The sky instantly filled with dancing snowflakes.

A pure and transparent cold pearl in the box slowly flew out, and snow immediately started drifting through the entire Tianwu Plaza.

Someone stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake. Then, his expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, “That is the long-lost Ice Immortal Pearl. Legend says that it is a treasure of the Immortal Epoch. After refining it, one can immediately comprehend a Great Perfection will of ice.”

“That thing actually exists. It is a treasure that can allow one to comprehend one more will.”

Exclamations resounded everywhere. Everyone revealed an envious gaze as they stared at the wooden box in Xiao Chen’s hand.

Just this one Ice Immortal Pearl already surpassed all the gifts that Xia Houjue received.

Xia Houjue’s face darkened slightly. He had not expected Shui Lingling to give such a precious gift.

Furthermore, he called it trash earlier. This was slapping his own face; he dearly wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

Xiao Chen put away the Ice Immortal Pearl and smiled at Xia Houjue. “Brother Xia, you are really worldly-wise. I wonder, how many of such trash do you have?”

Xiao Chen’s purposeful emphasis on the word “trash” caused Xia Houjue’s expression to turn even darker, but Xia Houjue could not find any words to rebut.

“Don’t be too pleased yet. I will stand here and watch. See if anyone else from the Tianwu Domain will come to offer you congratulations and gifts.”

Xia Houjue was about to expire from frustration. After quite a while, he finally managed to squeeze out these words. He really could not think of any other retort.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not argue. He performed a cupped-fist salute and gave thanks to Shui Lingling. This was a gift that even he found hard to reject.

“Hehe! Xiao Bai comes to congratulate Elder Brother Xiao Chen on being conferred the Azure Dragon King.”

While Xia Houjue waited to see Xiao Chen become a joke, a young lady ran over and proffered a wooden box as well.

This young lady looked very beautiful, so pretty she could cause the downfall of a kingdom, yet she possessed a lively and youthful aura, which made that extremely pretty face looked quite extraordinary.

However, Xia Houjue had never heard the name Xiao Bai before.

Right after Xia Houjue spoke, someone immediately came forward to offer congratulations, slapping his face. Furthermore, it was a name that he never heard before, infuriating him.

Earlier, Shui Lingling already embarrassed Xia Houjue. Now, he could no longer hold back. He said, “Where did this wild girl come from? Xiao Chen, only such an unremarkable person would come and offer congratulations to you!”

Totally ignoring Xia Houjue, Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Chen with a smile. “Elder Brother Xiao Chen, open it and take a look. This is something that I pestered Adoptive Father for a long time for before he agreed. He said that you will need to use it soon.”

Seeing that Xiao Bai did not even bother with him, Xia Houjue became even angrier. Who was he? He was a Holy Scion of the Tianwu Domain, the White Tiger King, an outstanding talent of the younger generation.

Despite all this, this girl dared to ignore him entirely, treating him as air.

Xia Houjue could not help the anger in his heart from rising. He secretly circulated his energy and tapped the ground with his foot. Formless energy immediately struck the box, causing cracks to appear on it.

Seeing this, Xia Houjue laughed loudly and said, “She is indeed an unremarkable person. The box that contains the treasure cannot even withstand the wind. With such a box, the item inside must be rubbish as well.”

“Bang!”

The wooden box shattered, and a golden light flashed. A golden Roaming Dragon circled in the air.

“Drizzle…! Drizzle…! Drizzle…!” Golden spiritual rain spattered down. The ambient Spiritual Energy in the entire Tianwu Plaza instantly became more than a hundred times thicker.

Someone opened their mouth and swallowed the golden Spiritual Rain.

This person immediately felt refreshed, and his Law Energy improved significantly. His expression changed radically, his eyes nearly popping out. He quavered, “This is a Holy Spirit Vein! This is really a Holy Spirit Vein! Something only weaker than a King Spirit Vein.”

Most Rank 9 sects possessed only one Holy Spirit Vein. It was something used to hold down Luck in the sect.

There were even unwritten rules about Holy Spirit Veins. Only sects with a Holy Spirit Vein were worthy of being a Rank 9 sect.

To put it in a slightly more exaggerated way, with a Holy Spirit Vein, it would not be difficult to establish a Rank 9 sect.

The entire plaza stirred. Several people immediately circulated their energy and opened their mouths to gulp down the golden spiritual rain in the air, in complete disregard of their own statuses.

In a Rank 9 sect, only a few inner sect Elders could use a Holy Spirit Vein, and that for a very limited time.

Once the time was over, these Elders had to stop.

At this moment, a Holy Spirit Vein revealed itself. The cultivators who had never seen a Holy Spirit Vein before naturally could not contain their excitement.

Xia Houjue’s face turned ashen. Then, as his mouth hung open, his face flushed red. He was in complete shock, unable to speak a word.

“Whoosh!”

Two figures quickly flew out, each holding a seal. They quickly suppressed the Holy Spirit Vein. Then, they said angrily to Xia Houjue, “Xia Houjue, what guts you have, to be so unbridled before the Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter!”

“Where did your courage come from? In the eyes of the Spirit Fox King, you are just a minor character!”

The moment these words came out, the commotion in the crowd stopped. When the guests looked at Xia Houjue, they now revealed expressions of sympathy.

Who could have imagined that aside from being very pretty, this girl with the very ordinary name was actually the Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter?

Who was the Spirit Fox King? That was one of the five strongest experts of the Kunlun Realm, together with the Thunder Sovereign, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and East Mountain Ghost Monarch.

In terms of might and strength, these people were all much stronger than the White Emperor City’s City Master, the White Tiger Holy Master.

Even if the top person of the Tianwu Domain, the Thunder Sovereign, were here, he would not dare to call such a person a minor character. Nevertheless, Xia Houjue had actually done so.

This was truly a great joke before these people from all over the world.

When slapping himself, Xia Houjue really put in too much strength.

Xiao Bai carefully put away the Holy Spirit Vein and said with a smile, “I will not argue with baddies. Today is Elder Brother Xiao Chen’s big day, the day he is conferred King. I will not be angry.”

The already frightened black-clad old man heaved a sigh of relief. If the other party harped on this, this matter would blow up into a major incident.

“Hehe! Elder Brother Xiao Chen, do you like it? If you do, I’ll ask Adoptive Father to give you a few more.” Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Chen in anticipation.

When the others heard this, they could not help but want to vomit blood. The Spirit Fox King’s adoptive daughter was indeed extraordinary. She treated Holy Spirit Veins like buns, giving out more when another liked it.

Xiao Chen accepted the Holy Spirit Vein. He felt helpless in his heart, not knowing how to reply.

If he said he liked it, the Spirit Fox King would probably feel like chopping him down. How could these Holy Spirit Veins be treated like buns? For the Spirit Fox King to give him one was already a gargantuan favor.

However, if he said he did not like it, Xiao Bai would be extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan were here. They quickly came to Xiao Chen’s rescue and pulled Xiao Bai off. “Shichen, we should go down first. There are still others here to offer their congratulations. Let’s not delay this.”
