Chapter 2703 - 2706: Emperor Sky Sword and Demon Dragon Sword

"Chen Cangxiong will not be discouraged by this failure. I know that little fellow; I even considered forcing him to become my disciple.

However, that kid is too malicious and greedy.

He received the Blood Thunder King Sword I bestowed upon him, learned my Blood Thunder Escape, yet helped his father, the Thunder Emperor, severely injure me.

If it weren't for my good fortune in avoiding a disaster, I'd likely be a dead man today."

Sighing heavily, Chen Buyi said, "I tell you this so that you won't become complacent just because of a lucky break in the game."

"I understand, Master."

Ling Xiao nodded.

He didn't know about the Demon Dragon Sect, but as for Chen Cangxiong, that guy is indeed formidable.

Especially after experiencing this defeat, I believe Chen Cangxiong will only push further.

Genius is not just about exceptional talent.

It's also about becoming stronger after failures.

Chen Cangxiong's life had been too smooth before, never encountering failure. If he gets through this setback, he will only become more terrifying.

Thus, Ling Xiao absolutely can't afford to slack off.

If he does, then the next time he meets Chen Cangxiong, it will be him in trouble.

On the way back to Demon Dragon City, Chen Buyi told Ling Xiao more about Chen Cangxiong.

It seemed Chen Buyi was still quite resentful about Chen Cangxiong deceiving and betraying him.

"As I said, that kid's Blood Thunder King Sword was bestowed by me; since you've already obtained it, it is yours now.

However, I must tell you another thing. In the Chen Royal Family, there's a supreme treasure. Though it's also a Mortal Emperor Tool, it's the best within its grade.

Much better than the Blood Thunder King Sword."

"There's actually a weapon better than the Blood Thunder King Sword? Will Chen Cangxiong obtain it?"

Ling Xiao frowned.

He thought that by taking Chen Cangxiong's Blood Thunder King Sword, he had broken that guy's fangs.

But now it seemed that things might not be as simple as he thought.

"Of course, there is. That weapon is named 'Emperor Sky Sword,' always enshrined deep within the Imperial Capital.

It was only used once by the Thunder Emperor when he confronted me, and has not been drawn since.

I believe Chen Cangxiong will certainly obtain this sword, as he is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Chen Royal Family."

Chen Buyi lamented, "Once he gets that Emperor Sky Sword, competing against it with the Blood Thunder King Sword would be quite challenging unless your strength surpasses his."

"Doesn't the Demon Dragon Sect have any weapon to rival the Emperor Sky Sword?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"It does! But only the Sect Master is qualified to possess it! It's the only weapon in the Chen Dynasty able to compete with the Emperor Sky Sword, a Demon Sword called the 'Demon Dragon Sword.'

"The Demon Dragon Sword?"

Ling Xiao thought that his Dark Immortal Sword and Black Demon Sword might also be unable to match the Demon Dragon Sword.

If he could get this Demon Dragon Sword, he'd not lose to Chen Cangxiong in weaponry.

Whether to use it or not, let's not discuss now.

But such a treasure, usable as a trump card, must be secured first.

"Master, what should I do if I want to obtain the Demon Dragon Sword?"

Ling Xiao asked.

Chen Buyi sighed, "Not to make you laugh, I created the Demon Dragon Sect precisely by seeking assistance from the Demon Dragon Sword, succeeding only because of it.

But thereafter, the Demon Dragon Sword returned to Demon Dragon Mountain on its own.

The Demon Dragon Mountain is vast and extremely dangerous.

Even I find it nearly impossible to get the sword.

But if an outstanding disciple attains its recognition, there is an opportunity to obtain this Demon Sword."

"How to proceed?"

Ling Xiao asked directly.

"It's simple. First, become a high-ranking disciple of the Demon Dragon Sect!"

Chen Buyi replied, "Demon Dragon Sect's disciples are divided into junior, mid-level, and high-ranking levels.

Junior disciples with cultivation level below First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Ninth Layer Hell.

The most powerful among them is roughly equivalent to your current cultivation level.

Mid-level disciples range from First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Tenth Layer Hell to First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Eleventh Layer Hell Mid Phase.

While high-ranking disciples are all above First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Eleventh Layer Hell Late Stage.

To become a high-ranking disciple, simply being my closed-door disciple isn't enough; you must meet that cultivation standard!

Even I can't play favorites."

"That's not a problem!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

Reaching the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Eleventh Layer Hell Peak is not an issue for him.

As long as Chen Buyi could help him acquire the Demon Beast Crystal Core of that Giant Python, he could start refining alchemy to lift the cultivation seal.

"Don't be too hasty to agree.

Understand that even after becoming a high-ranking disciple, to go to Demon Dragon Mountain, you must be the strongest high-ranking disciple.

Among all high-ranking disciples, there are some with exceptional talent.

Though perhaps not as good as Chen Cangxiong, they remain truly outstanding.

Among them, three have reached the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Eleventh Layer Hell Peak.

And one is currently in seclusion; if successful, he will reach the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Twelfth Layer Hell.

At that time, you may not be able to beat him either.

"Master, will it depend on cultivation or combat strength?"

Ling Xiao inquired.

"Once you become a high-ranking disciple, everything will naturally depend on combat strength.

The quota to go to Demon Dragon Mountain is just one, and it's determined through battle."

Chen Buyi explained.

"Then it's no issue."

Ling Xiao almost defeated Chen Cangxiong, let alone those not as strong as Chen Cangxiong.

Although his cultivation has dropped significantly now, that's just temporary.

"No issue? Are you so confident?"

Chen Buyi laughed.

"As long as you, Master, can help me with the Giant Python Demonic Core, I promise that within a month, I will meet the high-ranking disciple's requirements."

Ling Xiao declared with full confidence.

"There's no need to rush; your time is quite ample, with a full one hundred days before the selection for Demon Dragon Mountain starts.

In these hundred days, as long as you meet the requirements, that will suffice."

Chen Buyi smiled.

Certainly, Chen Buyi didn't find Ling Xiao's confidence abrupt.

Seeing Ling Xiao's battle with Chen Cangxiong firsthand, he was thoroughly impressed by this boy's strength.

If anyone else claimed to ascend from First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Layer Hell Peak to Eleventh Layer Hell Peak in a hundred days, he wouldn't trust it.

But Ling Xiao's words, he believed!

"A hundred days, it will be even more ample."

Ling Xiao breathed a small sigh of relief.

Sometimes, he intentionally controlled the speed of his cultivation breakthroughs for stability in each realm.

If he rushed, he believed he could reach the First Transformation, Eleventh Layer Hell Peak within a month.

But that kind of cultivation would leave hidden dangers.

Giving himself adequate time is better.

"Ahead is Demon Dragon City. You still have the chance to regret this decision!

Don't assume that becoming my closed-door disciple allows you to act with impunity.

If you think that way, you are gravely mistaken."

Chen Buyi suddenly halted, his expression abruptly turning serious.
