Chapter 783: Acting like Snobs

A hint of worry flashed in Shui Lingling’s eyes. Then, she smiled and said, “That won’t happen. He promised me that he would definitely return. As for the rumors, there is no need to care about them. Come, let’s go.”

------

The sky turned dark as boundless thunderclouds churned in it. They moved like the waves of the sea and great rivers, rising and falling continuously.

The vast sky was dark for fifty kilometers around. At a glance, it looked like the sky was going to fall. It was frighteningly dark.

“Pu!”

Suddenly, a strand of saber Qi ripped through the solid dark clouds. It looked like a hole torn open in the sky. Boundless radiance poured out and formed a resplendent pillar of light.

In this extremely dark world, this beam of light looked exceptionally splendorous.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

Within the pillar of light, two figures flashed, exchanging moves rapidly. Bolts of lightning coruscated around them, zigzagging like pythons and making the sky flicker endlessly.

Slowly, the surrounding lightning did not just resemble a python. Instead, the bolts formed several realistic ferocious pythons. Purple scales were visible on the huge lightning pythons’ bodies, layering over one another and appearing distinct.

The two eyes on the pythons’ heads revealed a ferocity like electricity.

Hundreds of such snakes swirled around the two. From a distance, they looked like many electric dragons dancing in the air.

That pillar of light started to drift. It looked like a heavenly blade slicing the dark clouds that spanned fifty kilometers in half.

As the two exchanged moves, they shifted with the light. The clash of their weapons sounded like heavenly thunder, heavy and full of explosiveness, setting the air atremble.

Its might reached the land three kilometers below undiminished, jolting a slew of trees and plants and withering the shaking leaves glittering in the light.

The two exchanging moves were none other than Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao right in the middle of gradually improving the all-new Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique after he had spent days and nights comprehending it.

After the pillar of light completely sliced apart the lowering clouds spanning fifty kilometers, they scattered. The darkness cleared up, and the light of the blazing sun shone down again without restraint.

The golden sunlight lit up the land once more.

Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao stopped exchanging moves and turned into two beams of light, instantly landing in the desolate valley.

Ao Jiao gently waved her hands and put away the light blades in her hands. She smiled and said, “Hehe! Not bad. In less than a month, you already more or less finished altering the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. Furthermore, its might is extraordinary. Soon, the mysterious phenomenon of lightning pythons will turn into flood dragons.”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, revealing a joyful expression.

By relying on the immortal will of thunder and the unforgettable Lightning Talisman deeply imprinted on his mind, the process of altering the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique had gone much more smoothly than Xiao Chen expected.

For the new Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, Xiao Chen eliminated the need for the state of wind and state of cloud as he continued to strengthen the need for the state of thunder.

With no wind and clouds, there would not be lightning. Only when wind and cloud moved would lightning strike everywhere.

This was the old Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. If one wanted to bring out its true strength, one needed to improve the state of wind and state of cloud as well.

However, now, Xiao Chen completely abandoned the state of wind and state of cloud, for no other reason than he simply had no time to comprehend the state of wind and state of cloud.

There were rumors about consumable crystals for the comprehension of various states. They had appeared in large-scale auctions in the Kunlun Realm before.

However, such crystals were extremely precious. Furthermore, large-scale auctions did not happen on demand. Distant waters could not quench an immediate thirst.

The crucial point was that the old Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, even with the state of wind and state of cloud, was only equal to the Four Season Saber Technique, a peak Earth Ranked Saber Technique.

In the end, it was not a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique and could not keep up with Xiao Chen’s usage. He had to break entirely from the norm and come up with a disruptive innovation.

Xiao Chen re-created the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique to equal a Heaven Ranked Saber Technique. Furthermore, it had scope to improve stably, so it could accompany him for a long time.

Since there was no wind and cloud, how could there be lightning? Without lightning, how could there be a Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique?

Xiao Chen’s line of thought was very simple. In the past, the scattered state of thunder already had extraordinary might. However, it was still scattered after all.

Now, the immortal will of thunder gathered everything. The lightning that it could produce was already no weaker than natural lightning.

That was right. The idea Xiao Chen thought of was to use his immortal will of thunder to replace the lightning produced with the friction between wind and cloud, incorporating the will into the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.

As the might of the immortal will of thunder increased, so would the power of the lightning tribulations of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. Thus, this Saber Technique would be useful to Xiao Chen for a long time.

He would provide the lightning, which would materialize into a tribulation, becoming the true essence of the brand-new Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.

For the new Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, aside from the final three moves, the starting and momentum-storing moves were all different. Xiao Chen had expanded the technique into a total of twelve moves.

The twelve moves comprised of six foundational moves, three lightning-gathering moves, and three killing moves.

Xiao Chen collected his drifting thoughts. He looked to the boundless sky in the north and muttered, “It is time to depart. Along the way, I will do my best to upgrade the mysterious phenomenon of lightning pythons into flood dragons.”

This inspiration naturally came from the thousands of True Dragon lightning around the Lightning Talisman. Of course, jumping straight to the top—turning the lightning bolts into True Dragons—would be impossible for Xiao Chen.

He could only take things slowly, one step at a time: first, pythons; then flood dragons; then scaled dragons; and finally, True Dragons.

The blazing sun cast its light down from the sky and illuminated Xiao Chen, creating long shadows. When Ao Jiao saw this scene, her lips curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.

The two figures turned into beams of light and flew out of the valley, disappearing into the horizon.

Destination: the top Rank 9 sect of the north—Extreme Yin Sect!

The Extreme Yin Sect was the top sect of the twenty-seven northern provinces. It ranked below only the Thunder and Lightning Palace among all the Rank 9 sects in the entire Tianwu Domain.

The Extreme Yin Sect had twenty thousand disciples and two known Martial Emperors who would frequently remain in the sect to protect it. It had experienced several Demonic Calamities but remained standing.

Outside the vast starry sky, there were still several Extreme Yin Sect Martial Emperors. However, outsiders would not know of such secretive matters.

After a long time, the Extreme Yin Sect somehow became the center of the north, holding great prestige.

Be it in reputation or rank, its standing was much better than that of the top sect of the south, the Supreme Sky Sect. No sect in the north dared to clash against the Extreme Yin Sect, which relied on its absolute strength and resources.

Furthermore, the reputation of the Supreme Sky Sect depended on its top true inheritor, Shui Lingling. In terms of total strength and resources, the Supreme Sky Sect did not have much more than the Full Moon Pavilion and Thousand Mystery Sect.

Normally, the Extreme Yin Sect would be bustling. There would always be cultivators from others sects coming to seek advice on their Martial Techniques or spend large sums in Extreme Yin City to buy Medicinal Pills, Spirit Weapons, or Spirit Gathering Pearls.

However, the Extreme Yin Sect was especially noisy today. Many people had already gathered at the challenge peak outside Extreme Yin City long ago.

Multicolored lights could be seen on the horizon, illuminating the summit.

The challenge peaks of the various sects were all similar. Someone powerful had chopped off the top of a mountain peak and constructed a vast drill ground.

The center of the drill ground would be a vast arena made with precious ores. An ancient bronze bell would stand not far away from the arena.

When the bell rang, it meant the challenge started.

Currently, a silent figure stood in the arena. He closed his eyes and waited. An indistinct cold Qi spread out from him, turning the ambient temperature very cold.

This was the top true inheritor of the Extreme Yin Sect. Even though the Tianwu Domain had undergone a regime change, Bai Wuxue was still mighty.

The multicolored lights heading for the summit stopped a kilometer away.

Everyone knew that Bai Wuxue had personally killed a famous Inferior Grade Martial Sage loose cultivator three months ago. If there was really a fight later, the remnant energy would definitely encompass the entire mountain summit.

However, not many people believed that Xiao Chen would show up.

“Haha! It is almost noon already. Where is that so-called White Robed Bladesman? He is not here yet. I don’t think he will be showing up.”

“How would he dare to show up? Right now, Bai Wuxue can even easily kill an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. He has probably already comprehended a will.”

“Thinking about it now, back when that brat said those words, it was actually just a joke. After all, Bai Wuxue is Bai Wuxue.”

“Xiao Chen probably heard the news already. Not long ago, a lower-realm demonic genius challenged Bai Wuxue. Bai Wuxue directly shattered that genius into pieces, and that scared Xiao Chen away.”

“The Sage War of the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking will begin soon. At that time, Bai Wuxue might be able to hold his own against the Holy Scions.”

Similar discussions took place in the crowd hovering in the air. Everyone favored Bai Wuxue; no one thought well of Xiao Chen.

In the end, strength ruled in the Kunlun Realm. Now that Bai Wuxue had defeated a Martial Sage, his fame spread far and wide. Naturally, people’s opinions of him would change.

A tyrannical beam of light flew by. That was the Ximen Noble Clan’s Ximen Bao. He looked at the lone Bai Wuxue on the arena and could not help but show disappointment in his eyes.

Not long later, the Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng, the top genius of the Battle Realms, Niu Deng, the top bladesman of the south, Feng Xingsheng, and the mysterious swordsman that recently rose to fame, Duan Yi, all arrived.

The demonic geniuses of the younger generation had all rushed over. This surpassed the crowd’s expectations, giving rise to an eruption of further discussions.

Just at this moment, a huge purple bird, which people recognized to be the Profound Sun Bird of the Supreme Sky Sect’s Shui Lingling, slowly flew over from the distance.

“Look! The Supreme Sky Sect’s people are here. That white-robed brat is not with them.”

Someone with sharp eyes noticed the absence of Xiao Chen’s figure and immediately pointed it out.

The group of people from the Supreme Sky Sect on the Profound Sun Bird’s back could not help but have unsightly expressions. Jun Si frowned and said, “These people are simply acting like snobs.”

“First Senior Sister, will Junior Brother really not come?” someone else behind asked.

Just as Shui Lingling was about to reply, a rumbling came from the crowd. When she turned around, she saw a thundercloud descending—it was An Junxi.

The moment An Junxi appeared, the atmosphere reached its peak. Even Bai Wuxue, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Snow drifted in his eyes, creating a boundless image of a land sealed in ice. An immense desire to fight flared up in his eyes.

An Junxi smiled faintly, and his figure flashed. He landed on a nearby mountain peak and ignored everything else.
