Chapter 857: Bite Off More Than One Can Chew

It looked like Xiao Chen could not use the Thunder Emperor’s route as a reference. It was no help.

My personal opinion is that you should make the saber soul the main. Help the saber soul swallow up the will, and use the will to strengthen the saber soul. In the future, when the will improves, it will strengthen the saber soul further. When your Saber Techniques improve, you can also strengthen the will.

Think about it: you cultivate the physical body, Mental Energy, and Saber Techniques. None of them is simple. Just one of them can make you unrivaled everywhere.

There is a saying “do not bite off more than you can chew.” You are better off focusing on Saber Techniques. With your talent, you will be able to make your strength soar in no time at all.

Ao Jiao voiced her opinion.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. He had not expected this. Originally, he simply wanted to take the will of thunder the Thunder Emperor left behind, to strengthen himself. However, doing so now resulted in this perplexing crossroad.

Ao Jiao’s words were simple to understand: focus on the saber and devote all the time he would use on his physical body, close-combat techniques, and Mental Energy on the saber.

With such copious time, how could his strength not improve?

However, this route would bring Xiao Chen only up to the level of the Thunder Emperor and the Azure Emperor. Surpa.s.sing them would be extremely difficult. He wanted more than this.

Now, Xiao Chen made up his mind. He once again slowly tried to merge the two, only he purposely a.s.sisted the will this time, allowing it to swallow up the vague form of his saber soul.

The two were initially on an equal footing. When one side gained Xiao Chen’s a.s.sistance, it immediately got the upper hand. The saber soul struggled for a while before it entered the purple Lightning Talisman.

After a.s.similating the vague form of the saber soul, the purple Lightning Talisman gained an all-conquering, supreme sharpness.

With just a thought, the purple Lightning Talisman split into four beams of golden light. Each beam of light was a small immortal saber.

Xiao Chen revealed a satisfied smile. The golden light returned to his forehead and reformed the purple talisman in his sea of consciousness. Then, he put on the Sea Monarch Headscarf once again.

The distracting thoughts disappeared from Xiao Chen’s mind. His heart became as calm as still water. After examining himself carefully, he found that he had no regrets over his choice.

He was Xiao Chen. Not the Thunder Emperor or the Azure Emperor.

Due to his injuries, Xiao Chen’s movements slowed dramatically. However, by the time he returned to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, most of the severe internal injuries had already healed, his body recovering to peak state.

As Xiao Chen expected, Liu Ruyue had not returned yet. However, he met with another familiar face.

“Brother Xiao Chen is becoming even more awesome. Did you bring any treasures back for this Fat Lord?”

Jin Dabao had been waiting at Qingyun Peak for some time already. When he saw Xiao Chen, a smile immediately filled his face, reducing his eyes to slits, as he ran over. His figure remained the same as before, similar to that of a ball.

When Xiao Chen saw Jin Dabao, he was rather happy. After he heard what Jin Dabao said, he smiled faintly and said carefreely, “You probably won’t care too much for the things that I have. I heard that the Golden Roc Merchant a.s.sociation now monopolizes most of the business in the Sky Dome Realm.”

Jin Dabao opened his folding fan and chuckled. “It’s just some small business, nothing to be proud of.”

The two chatted for a long time in the courtyard, sharing their experiences. When the fatty heard Xiao Chen’s stories of the Kunlun Realm, a light appeared in his eyes. Then, they dimmed, appearing conflicted.

“Xiao Chen, do you think that with this Fat Lord’s intelligence, I would be able to gain some fame in the Kunlun Realm?” After holding back for a long time, Jin Dabao finally whispered this question.

Xiao Chen felt speechless at this, nearly spitting out the wine in his mouth. It is best that you don’t go. Just stay here and cause trouble for the other people in the Sky Dome Realm.

While in the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen had already suffered a lot at the hands of this fatty. If this underwear maniac went to the Kunlun Realm, this fatty might end up bringing him a lot of problems.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen replied with utter sincerity, “I feel that it is better if you stay in the Sky Dome Realm. The IQs of those geniuses and old monsters of the Kunlun Realm and yours are on entirely different levels. It would be boring.”

When the fatty heard this, he could not help but sigh. He picked up his wine cup and drained it in one gulp. He said, “Great minds think alike. There are not many people in this world who can keep up with my mind. Xiao Chen, you are one of them.

“So be it. I’ll just not go. I have already been very lonely in the Sky Dome Realm for a long time. If I go to the Kunlun Realm, I’ll still be this lonely. There is no point. It looks like this Fat Lord is destined to be lonely forever.”

The fatty revealed a sentimental expression on his face. With such an expression, if he changed his looks, he would be able to attract many romantic girls who liked such a temperament.

After changing the fatty’s mind about going to the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Chen moved on to another topic. “Brother Dabao, do you have any way to enter the Sky Dome Immortal Realm?”

The fatty felt it was strange. He asked, “Why do you want to go there? The Great Tang Nation’s Royal Court invited me several times, but I did not go. It is too dangerous inside. There are all sorts of mutated Immortal Beasts and Spirit Beasts. The compet.i.tion between the Royal Courts of the various nations is also very intense. If one is not careful, they will enter up suffering a lot.”

Xiao Chen felt excited. It seemed that this Jin Dabao really did have a way. In that case, he did not have to think of another method to enter the Sky Dome Immortal Realm.

Apparently, the environment in there was not as simple as that Great Qin Nation guardian made it out to be. This hardened Xiao Chen’s resolve to go there even more.

“Tell me more about this Sky Dome Immortal Realm.”
