Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 778: Uninvited Guests



Chapter 778: Uninvited Guests

However, this was the age of geniuses. One year was sufficient for many changes to take place. The new would constantly replace the old.

The two remained silent for a while before Bai Qi said pensively with yearning, “There’s been a change of regime in the Tianwu Domain!”

“A change of regime in the Tianwu Domain…” Xiao Chen mumbled this to himself for a while. Then he took a sip of wine and asked seriously, “How exactly did it change?”

“In the seven giants. An Junxi obtained a True Dragon Lightning Whip. He finally gained a weapon that could match up to Feng Wuji’s weapon. The two fought for three days and three nights. Although Feng Wuji had the upper hand, he could not do anything to An Junxi. In the end, they called it a draw.”

Bai Qi put down his wine cup as he answered unhurriedly with a calm tone. However, the matter he spoke of shocked the prepared Xiao Chen.

The Holy Scions had long since been one cut above the rest in the Tianwu Domain. No one would bother comparing themselves with them.

When people discussed who was the strongest expert on the Tianyu Domain’s younger generation, they would mention the seven giants, deliberately omitting the three Holy Scions. Furthermore, they did not feel there was anything wrong with doing so.

The Three Holy Lands surpassed every other faction. The Holy Scions did not move around much in the Tianwu Domain, either. So it was rare to see them. To the younger generation, the three Holy Scions were too far removed from themselves, rather like an urban legend.

The seven giants were the experts the younger generation would focus on. If they wanted to become famous, they would challenge them, seeing them as targets to defeat. No one would target the three Holy Scions.

However, now, An Junxi shattered this legend, becoming the first and only person in the Tianwu Domain for the past ten thousand years to stand together with the three Holy Scions.

Xuanyuan Zhantian could not hold himself back as he said, “That battle was really intense. One comprehended the will of wind, and the other, the will of thunder. Several of the Inferior Grade Martial Sages paled when they saw this battle.

“An Junxi is indeed powerful. Feng Wuji was clearly slightly stronger than him, but Feng Wuji still could not defeat him; he could only admit to a draw.”

What Xuanyuan Zhantian said sounded contradictory, but it was easy to understand. If Feng Wuji was just a little bit stronger than An Junxi, unless they fought to the death, it would be hard to determine a winner.

However, even if they fought to the death, the possibility of them dying together was still the greatest—An Junxi was really strong.

“From now on, it will be like there are four Holy Scions in the Tianwu Domain. While the Thunder and Lightning Palace is weaker than the Holy Lands, everyone acknowledges An Junxi’s strength. Clearly, he has already outgrown the title of the seven giants.”

Bai Qi continued, “Furthermore, the title of the seven giants is dead already.”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “How is that so?”

“Half a year ago, the top bladesman of the south, Feng Xingsheng, challenged Luo Zixiao. He used his exquisite Saber Techniques and eighty-percent-comprehended saber intent to defeat his opponent in two hundred moves.

“A mysterious swordsman from the Heavenly Sword Realm defeated another one of the seven giants, Jiang Zeyuan. These broke the seven giants’ record of no defeats twice. The title ‘seven giants’ vanished after this.

“I’m not sure what stimulated the Ximen Clan’s Ximen Bao. After he returned from the Savage Battlefield, he began cultivating crazily in his own clan, undergoing a hellish training regimen with the Ximen Clan’s Martial Emperors. He no longer looked human, appearing worse than a demon.

“When he came out, he immediately went to challenge the Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng. This hedonistic son of a rich clan, whom everyone looked down on, actually fought the Passionate Young Master to a draw. He even nearly won.

“The top genius of the Battle Realms, Niu Deng, was even more startling. He directly challenged Weng Meng, the most violent of the seven giants. He also managed to fight to a draw.

“In the past year, several young experts emerged, gaining great fame. The bearers of Luck from the various realms are now grown up, no weaker than the previous seven giants.”

Bai Qi said a lot in one go. Aside from the yearning in his tone, there was also a trace of desolation.

In this age of geniuses, the experts of the lower realms experienced a round of polishing and elimination. Those that could stand out had already appeared, but he was not one of them.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. This means that those at the peak of power in the Tianwu Domain have indeed changed. Of the seven giants, one advanced to the level of the Holy Scions, two were defeated, and two fought to a draw.

The stability of the past decade or so has been completely disrupted.

Several bearers of Luck from the lower realms like me have shone after some accumulations and some time in hiding, finally revealing their glory.

This is the age of geniuses, which comes once every ten thousand years. The countless geniuses of the three thousand realms finally carved out a corner of this iceberg, making places for themselves in the Kunlun Realm’s Tianwu Domain, the domain of humans.

Who can stand out in the Tianwu Domain? Who can truly gain a ticket to the center stage of this age of geniuses, becoming this age’s sovereign?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen realized that they had not said anything about his First Senior Sister and Bai Wuxue, the person he was most concerned about at the moment, so he could not help but ask after them.

When he mentioned Shui Lingling, Bai Qi smiled gently. “Who dares to challenge Shui Lingling? If she flares up, even the three Holy Scions do not dare to offend her.

“Her archery is publicly acknowledged as the best in the Tianwu Domain. She might be weak in close quarter combat. But once she opens a distance, everyone fears being turned into a hornet’s nest.

“As for Bai Wuxue…”

When speaking about this demonic genius with the same family name as his, Bai Qi paused for a moment, revealing a grave expression. He continued, “Xiao Chen, it is not that I have no confidence in you. However…I advise you to give up on your challenge. No one will laugh at you for doing so.”

Xuanyuan Zhantian revealed a similar expression, pitying Xiao Chen a little.

Xiao Chen did not say anything to rebut this suggestion. He smiled and said, “Just tell me what you know.”

Bai Qi’s emotions were stirred up. He said in a somewhat horrified tone, “After Bai Wuxue left the Savage Battlefield, he disappeared. No one knew where he went. He came back just a month ago. A lower-realm genius that gained some fame recently tried to take him down to attain more fame.

“In the end, Bai Wuxue froze that genius in an ice pillar within ten moves. When he touched it lightly, that genius fell to the ground and shattered into ice shards, not even leaving behind a single piece of him.”

Xuanyuan Zhantian added gravely, “That is not the most horrifying thing yet. This news got out just half a month ago. Bai Wuxue went to the extreme north of the Kunlun Realm, a bitterly cold place. When he came back, he brought back a head.”

Xiao Chen asked interestedly, “Whose head?”

Xuanyuan Zhantian replied in a whisper, “A loose cultivator from the top ten of the Evil Cultivator Ranking. That loose cultivator had been at large for a long time already and had a cultivation of…a cultivation of Inferior Grade Martial Sage.”

Immediately after Xuanyuan Zhantian finished speaking, he and Bai Qi looked at Xiao Chen with some sympathy.

This news should be very cruel to Xiao Chen. However, the reality was still the reality. For Bai Wuxue to kill an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, furthermore, one that was an infamous loose cultivator, he had to be particularly strong.

About half a year ago, there might still have been some people who believed Xiao Chen stood a chance. However, once this news got out, almost everyone stopped caring about Xiao Chen, who had not shown himself for a long time.

Bai Wuxue could even kill an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. What meaning was there to this battle? No matter how hard Xiao Chen worked, he would just be a joke in the end.

Xiao Chen would only become a stepping stone on Bai Wuxue’s path of cultivation, amounting to nothing more than that.

However, Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian were thoroughly disappointed. Neither of them could see any trace of fear on Xiao Chen’s face.

Bai Qi asked probingly, “Xiao Chen, why are you not reacting at all? Many people are now saying that he should have comprehended the will of ice. He is probably about as strong as An Junxi now.

“The head he brought back is the head of a Martial Sage. No matter where you go in the Kunlun Realm, Martial Sages are big shots.”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly to himself. How exactly do you want me to react? Not too long ago, I defeated three Inferior Grade Martial Sages.

While a loose cultivator Martial Sage would be much stronger than a Xuan Clan Senior Elder, Xiao Chen had fought one against three, so his accomplishment was better than Bai Wuxue’s.

The two of them still had to fight to find out who was better. However, Xiao Chen was very confident in his will of thunder. He did not fear Bai Wuxue’s growth.

Demonic geniuses would have their own fortuitous encounters, so he did not feel too shocked over Bai Wuxue’s accomplishments.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Just at this moment, somewhat noisy footsteps and voices rang out. A group of uninvited guests appeared at the entrance to the staircase.

The three people in front had strong auras, despite having their killing intents withdrawn, particularly the one in the center. As he looked around, the other customers in the restaurant felt a chill in their hearts.

This person was actually a Martial Sage!

An oppressive heavy atmosphere spread in an instant. The cultivators who saw this immediately paid their bills and left, afraid to get dragged into trouble.

When Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian saw this group of people arrive, they instantly paled. They trembled a little as they said, “The Eternal Heavenly Sword School’s people are here.”

“Brother Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should go first. We will meet you with you again after we leave the city.”

The two showed somewhat surprised expressions. They had not expected the Eternal Heavenly Sword School’s people to arrive so quickly, much less with a Martial Sage at the lead.

If there were no Martial Sages here, even if there were the two half-Sages, the two were confident they could leave easily if they could not win.

However, the arrival of the Martial Sage dashed their certainty. They would probably end up staying here forever and might even cause Xiao Chen trouble.

The Martial Sage leading this group of Eternal Heavenly Sword School disciples smiled coldly. He wore an expression of disdain as he stood upright with his hands behind his back. He said in a frosty voice, “I wondered which expert killed more than twenty of my inner sect disciples in one move. It turns out that it is just a half-Sage.

“No one can leave today. In Hunluo Province, the sect behind you would not be able to save you!”

The Martial Sage waved his hands, and the two half-Sages behind him together with the Superior Grade Martial Monarchs behind them charged towards Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!” The group rushed over with heavy footsteps resounding on the floor. They exuded a strong killing Qi, forming strong winds.

Several decorative vases in the restaurant shattered. The atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian showed grave expressions. They stretched their hands out, gripping their weapons tightly.

Just as the battle was about to start, Xiao Chen, who was seated at the table, looked at the two half-Sages with flourishing auras. His lips curled up in a cold smile.
