Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1464: Unexpected

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady did not reject Xiao Chen's request. She just said that she needed some time.

"Not a problem. I'll wait."

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and waited quietly for the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady.

After about seven to eight minutes, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said, "I found them."

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady tapped the air with her finger, and a painting appeared. A group of scarlet-clad men broke a restriction and snatched up a dazzling, resplendent pearl.

This group of people showed smiles, in wild joy.

"What is that?"

Seeing through this painting was not as good as being there himself, after all. Xiao Chen, who opened his eyes, did not recognize that resplendent pearl.

"That is the Puppet Pearl. It is not an item of the Martial Epoch but a Magic Treasure of the Immortal Epoch. It is used to control huge puppets, especially huge puppets normally in the shape of huge ancient beasts like the Deep Sea Berserk Shark." The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady gave Xiao Chen a detailed explanation.

This piqued Xiao Chen's interest. This Magic Treasure was specially used for controlling huge puppets. He seemed to think of something but was not entirely sure what it was.

"Can you retrieve it?"

Xiao Chen kept feeling that the Blood Clad Sect had some sort of scheme. If the other party managed to obtain this Puppet Pearl, it might result in a great calamity in the future.

"I can't. They already placed it in a spatial ring. I can only bring over treasures in restrictions that are not broken yet. There are still many good things in the Immortal palace. If you need any of them, I can give them to you."

"There's no need."

Xiao Chen rejected without even considering it. He always followed a certain principle: going too far was as bad as not far enough.

These were not Xiao Chen's things. If he took too many, he might incur some bad karma. Furthermore, he had already obtained the Cycle Arts, which was what he wanted the most. There was also the incredibly precious Universe Origin Fruit. There was no need to be too greedy.

Leaving the latter generations some opportunities was not a bad thing.

The most important thing now was to figure out what this group of people from the Blood Clad Sect was planning.

"Are you planning to go over and snatch it? Given your current state, you might not even be able to protect yourself. Just rest and properly recuperate from your injuries.

"That's right." The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady looked at the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram in the air and entered deep thought. "Where did you learn this flame diagram? This is the first time I saw someone merge two opposing attributes—Yin and Yang—together so naturally."

Xiao Chen thought for a while. Naturally, he could not expose the things about Earth. So he answered, "I learned it myself."

"Not bad, you are much stronger than I was back then. However, you lack a Cultivation Technique. Otherwise, it would be difficult for your flame diagram to become truly strong. Since you made it yourself, you need a complete set of techniques; neither Martial Techniques nor Cultivation Techniques can be lacking."

When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned. After thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.

The Taiji Dao did indeed lack a Cultivation Technique. However, creating a Cultivation Technique by himself might be too difficult for him at the moment.

For now, he could not do it.

"Since both are Yinyang flames, you actually can absorb the energy of the Void Hell Flower and the Extreme Yang True Flame into your Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. That way, you can deal with the threat of the Extreme Yang True Flame and strengthen your flame diagram," the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said after observing for a while more.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. Why did I not think of it? They are of common origins and types, so this is quite possible.

For the sake of maintaining a balance, the Extreme Yang True Flame and the Void Hell Flower had to be similar types of energy. After absorbing them, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram would still maintain its balance.

"I'll teach you how to do it."

After the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said that, she gave Xiao Chen pointers on how to use the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram to absorb the Void Hell Flowers and the Extreme Yang True Flames.

Xiao Chen had extraordinary comprehension ability in the first place. With just a few words, he quickly understood the principle behind the concept.

He succeeded on his first attempt.

The ten thousand flower petals melted like snow on the ground, silently and without any warning. The Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame slowly grew stronger. Xiao Chen could not help feeling some joy.

Flames were graded into nine ranks. His primal-chaos-level Heavenly Snow Divine Flame was at Rank 3, and his Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame were both at Rank 6.

If he continued absorbing like this, by the time he finished absorbing the Void Hell Flowers and Extreme Yang True Flames, his Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame should be able to reach Rank 7.

One should not look down on this improvement of just one rank. The Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame were both flames that were second only to primal-chaos-level flames.

After they reached Rank 6, it was extremely difficult to improve them. Such an opportunity could be said to be a fortuitous encounter that could only be discovered and not sought.

"Please help me to keep an eye on the people from the Blood Clad Sect. When sending me out, please send me to the same place as them."

Xiao Chen looked at the Blood Clad Sect's people in wild joy. Then, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When Elder Qin underwent his tribulation, a group of scarlet-clad man had come to cause trouble. The auras of those people were extremely similar to this group's.

If Xiao Chen was right, that was a move by the Blood Clad Sect. Since he ran into these people today, he naturally could not let them off.

If it was possible, Xiao Chen would snatch away the Puppet Pearl as well.

"Sure, that is not a problem," the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady answered straightforwardly. To her, this was something extremely insignificant.

One month was not really that short. However, it was not long, either.

The people in the Mirage Immortal Palace treasured every moment of it since they could remain in this place for only one month.

These people absolutely could not waste any of their time. As for Xiao Chen, he no longer desired anything else here.

Xiao Chen already obtained the Cycle Arts and a Universe Origin Fruit—a bountiful harvest. He only hoped for the month to pass quickly so that he could seek out the Blood Clad Sect's people.

The Blood Clad Sect had sent a total of nine people. There were one Vice Sect Master and eight Elders.

The Vice Sect Master was a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor. The scarlet clothes he wore glittered with a strange light. At close inspection, his attire looked like it was made of flowing blood.

At this moment, these nine people were gathered together. Can Minghuo, the Blood Clad Sect's Vice Sect Master, held the Puppet Pearl in his hand, showing a satisfied smile. action

"Vice Sect Master Can, now that we have the Puppet Pearl, we have already completed the Sect Master's mission. Can we now go our separate ways and seek out fortuitous encounters for ourselves?" a few of the Elders asked with greed gleaming in their eyes.

Can Minghuo put away the Puppet Pearl and shook his head. "No. The mission is only complete when we personally hand the Puppet Pearl to the Sect Master. As of now, the mission is only half complete. We cannot be careless."

This person was clearly extremely cautious. Caution was the parent of safety. It was better to ensure that they maintained sufficient combat prowess to safely deliver the Puppet Pearl.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared above the nine. When Can Minghuo and the others heard the sound, their expressions changed slightly as they prepared to move, reacting very quickly.

However, when the Blood Clad Sect's group saw who these people were, Can Minghuo started laughing. The expressions of the Elders all relaxed.

"Immortal Venerates, why are you two in such a sorry state? Your physical bodies were actually destroyed."

The ones who arrived were Immortal Venerate Ming Yue and Immortal Venerate Tian Yi, whose bodies had been destroyed. At this moment, their Yuanyings were in their life Magic Treasures and appeared before this group of people.

Faced with Can Minghuo's mockery, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi said coldly, "Cut the crap. Quickly bring people to follow me to the ninth floor of the Immortal palace and kill the Shadowless Saber Sovereign."

"The Shadowless Saber Sovereign? No wonder you two are in such sorry states. It turns out that you ran into such a demonic genius. However, why should I help you and offend this grim reaper?"

Now that Can Minghuo had the Puppet Pearl, he only needed to wait here for one month before he could go out and turn in the mission. He did not need to take any risks.

"He is currently severely injured. Killing him would be as easy as killing a dog. You can have all his treasures and get the two of us to owe you a favor. What do you have against that?" Immortal Venerate Ming Yue replied, trying to tempt the other party with benefits.

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi said, "Don't forget, if we did not let you in, how would you be able to obtain the Puppet Pearl so easily? Furthermore, the Blood Clad Sect and my Penglai Sea both answer to the Treasure Master. So what if you help us out this once?"

Can Minghuo showed hesitation on his face, somewhat convinced.

"Is he really injured?"

"Do you think that he would be in a good state after putting the two of us in such sorry states?" Immortal Venerate Tian Yi countered.

With a definitive answer, Can Minghuo stopped hesitating. He nodded and said, "Very well. I'll help you this once. However, all of the treasures on the Shadowless Saber Sovereign belong to me."

Xiao Chen, who was anxiously treating his wounds, would never expect that the master behind the Penglai Sea and the Blood Clad Sect were the same person.

Now, the Blood Clad Sect's experts, whom Xiao Chen was preparing to deal with after leaving, headed quickly towards him.
