Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1049: Thousand Frost Battle Snow

The last three moves of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist were not Profound Martial Techniques. However, with Xiao Chen’s alteration and expansion, their power was not much weaker than the Profound Martial Techniques of other cultivators.

Seven days flashed by. Xiao Chen learned most of the Thousand Frost Battle Snow. In the end, it was a Profound Martial Technique left by someone else. He could not use it as he pleased, and his comprehension of it was not very smooth.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

A pet.i.te figure flew over quickly from the distance. With a thought, the frost on the ground and the snow drifting down from the sky disappeared instantly.

Ao Jiao landed and patted her chest. Then, she smiled. “That girl is much smarter than you. She moved the Mo Clan to Broken Cloud Sea and is hiding there for now. It took some effort to find her.”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled. With this, he could rest a.s.sured. Mo Chen was indeed a smart person. She knew to hide when it was time.

“I seem to have seen you practicing the Thousand Frost Battle Snow just now. How is it? With your comprehension, you should be almost done, right?” Ao Jiao asked cheerfully.

Xiao Chen nodded and replied, “Yes, the proud snow bullying the frost, the thousand blades of frost do not submit. The focus of this Saber Technique is pride. The snow is arrogant, and the frost is proud and unyielding. The saber needs to bring out the pride in the bones and wield it.”

Ao Jiao entered deep thought. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen and sized him up as she said, “I suddenly discovered that you are very similar to the frost of this Saber Technique. The snow is born of n.o.bility, descending from heaven. The moment it appears, it catches everyone’s attention. It radiates arrogance and shows its cold light.

“The frost is of humble origins. It is born on the grounds of the valleys. Since it was born, people have trampled on it. However, no matter how lowly it was, the pride in its bones is unyielding. Eventually, it can defeat the white snow filling the sky.”

Ao Jiao’s words woke in Xiao Chen a lofty aspiration, causing him to look into the distance.

The frost battles the snow. Now, this frost is going to leave the Cloud Sea Domain, to see if the snow of the Heavenly Starry Ocean is really as incredible as Xuanyuan Zhantian says.

Purple Cloud Island was the largest island at the borders of the Southern Sea. After pa.s.sing this island, one would formally enter the Southern Sea.

The largest city of this island was called Purple Cloud City. At a certain inn in the city…

“Did you hear? Two of the Divine Dragon Palace Supreme Elders died at the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen’s hands?”

“Haha, this matter recently set the Southern Sea abuzz. How can I not know about it? I heard that it nearly alarmed the Old Dragon King, who is in closed-door cultivation.”

“Speaking of this Azure Dragon King, he is really incredible. He used a Secret Treasure and killed eight quasi-Emperors in the Cloud Sea Domain. The Divine Dragon Palace believed that he no longer had a trump card and wanted to take advantage. In the end, they paid dearly for that, completely losing face.”

“Tell me, within the same generation, can we find someone who can match Xiao Chen in our Southern Sea Domain?”

Inns and restaurants were always the places where the most cultivators gathered. It was also the place where news spread the fastest.

Two quasi-Emperor Supreme Elders of the Divine Dragon Palace had died. Such a huge matter could not be hidden. In less than one month, it set the Southern Sea gossiping.

Who could rival the Azure Dragon King, Xiao Chen? When someone raised this question, the bustling inn immediately fell silent.

Even quasi-Emperors of the older generation died at Xiao Chen’s hands. Who in the same generation could stop him?

“Perhaps a few of the Immortal Holy Lands’ Holy Scions can?”

“Yes, there is no need to overinflate his strength. The outstanding talents of our Heavenly Starry Ocean are not weak. The strange poison techniques of the Five Poison Sect, the ancient inheritance of Myriad Fiend Island, the Righteous Qi of the Heavenly Province Academy, these are all things that have been pa.s.sed down for at least one hundred thousand years.”

“I heard that the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter is coming to our Purple Cloud City today, to treat illnesses for free. The Sun Palace’s Holy Son and the scions of the ancient n.o.ble Clans are here because of that news.”

“Is that true? The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter very rarely leaves Bright Moon City. Why is she out this time?”

Perhaps because the topic of who could rival Xiao Chen was too heavy, the conversation in the inn quickly s.h.i.+fted to the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter. The atmosphere in the place turned lively once again.

At a table near a window on the second floor, there was a youth in white with an extraordinary air. He held a white fan, and his countenance looked delicate.

This youth’s cultivation looked to be grandmaster-level Martial Sage. However, a vague air about him made him seem unfathomable like the ice water in a cold, deep pool covered in fog.

When this youth heard the news, he paused while raising a wine cup to his lips. Revealing a somewhat interested expression, he put down the cup, muttering, “The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter?”

The Lunar Palace, that Holy Land with a special status, which steers clear of the mundane world? Should I go and take a look?

Since the outstanding talents of the Southern Sea came here because of this news, this might also be a chance to see how strong the cultivators of the Heavenly Starry Ocean from the same generation are.

This youth was none other than Xiao Chen, who had changed his appearance and used the Foundation Returning Art to hide his cultivation. He was currently on his way to the largest market of the Southern Sea, the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market.

That was a market on the sea, a sea market that catered specially to cultivators. It was very bustling and lively.

Both contraband of unknown origins and treasures obtained legitimately could be sold quickly here. Furthermore, the presence of many merchant a.s.sociations averted worries about being ripped off.

The Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market was about to hold the biennial Ten Thousand Treasure Festival. Auctions of various sizes would be held; no matter what level one was, one would be able to find something suitable.

Xiao Chen could get rid of the goods on hand, find a treasure that he wanted in the auction, and experience a grand occasion like the Ten Thousand Treasure Festival.

For killing three birds with one stone, there was no better place than this.

The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter is so famous. Since she is also here by chance, there is no problem with going to see her. It will not take much time.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and called the waiter over.

The waiter walked over with joy written on his face. This morning, this Young Master had been very generous. For asking about some news, he gave a reward of one hundred Astral Coins—equivalent to several years of the waiter’s salary.

Now, when the waiter saw Xiao Chen waving once again, he rushed over quickly, fearing that he would be too slow.

“Is the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter really coming to Purple Cloud Island? Do you know about this matter?”

The waiter smiled and replied, “Yes, she is coming. I heard that this Holy Daughter left Bright Moon City half a year ago in search of famed doctors. Everywhere she went, she would also treat the illness of others.

“This time, she is just pa.s.sing Purple Cloud Island and staying for a couple of days. Her destination is the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market, where several famous grandmaster Alchemists, which the large merchant a.s.sociations invited, are.”

Xiao Chen sighed. He felt it was strange, so he said, “This Lunar Palace Holy Daughter can treat others. Her own medical skills should be relatively good. Why is she looking for famed doctors?”

The waiter smiled. “I feel that it is strange as well. The Lunar Palace Holy Daughter is skilled in medicine; her Alchemy is excellent as well. She previously even managed to save people on the verge of death.

“However, people like her are simply akin to the fairies of heaven. How could I, a lowly waiter, guess the thoughts of a fairy?”

In retrospect, it would really be strange if the waiter before him could answer this difficult question. Xiao Chen smiled and asked, “When is she coming? Do you know?”

“Haha, I’m not sure about that, either. Perhaps today, maybe tomorrow, or even the day after. Who knows? She might not even stop at Purple Cloud Island but head directly to the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market. That is possible as well.”

There were so many possibilities. In that case, there was no need to keep waiting.

Xiao Chen picked up his wine cup and drained it in one go. Then, he placed down an Astral Coin, preparing to depart immediately for the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market.

Suddenly, a cultivator rushed into the hall of the inn, shouting excitedly, “Everyone, quickly go to the west of the city. The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter is here, and she opened her pavilion already. Brothers, if you have any hidden injuries or internal injuries, you better go early. Otherwise, if you are too late, it would be too unfortunate.”

The hall fell silent for a moment before devolving into chaos. Everyone tossed money on the table for their bill and charged towards the doors.

“Bang!”

The wide door instantly broke with the number of people trying to squeeze through it. Soon, the bustling inn emptied.

Xiao Chen was dumbstruck. This was too exaggerated.

Actually, after he gave it some thought, this was not exaggerated at all.

The life of cultivators came with pain and injuries. Many would end up with internal injuries, some not even aware of them.

Xiao Chen had already been injured several times, so many times that he had lost track. However, he possessed a strong physical body and attained a peak Rank 4 Sage Body. He felt confident that he did not have any hidden injuries.

However, it would be hard to say for other cultivators. If they did not get rid of their hidden injuries, when these erupted, the injuries would become deep-seated problems. Even a miracle pill might not be able to heal them.

Aside from internal injuries and hidden injuries, there were problems arising from cultivation. Disordered meridians were more common.

Now, there was a person who was willing to treat injuries for free. Furthermore, this person’s skill in medicine was excellent. It would strange if cultivators did not fight over this chance.

Xiao Chen pushed off the floor and leaped out the window. Then, he performed a beautiful somersault and landed on the roof of the inn.

“West of the city,” he mumbled to himself. Then, he unfurled his Freedom Wings and looked in that direction.

Various images flashed before Xiao Chen’s eyes, like a movie playing. There were scenes of large streets and small alleys. Both sky and land were filled with cultivators rus.h.i.+ng to the west.

Then, the picture fixed on many young ladies in front of a pavilion by a lake in the west of the city. They all possessed excellent figures and looked very pretty. They were lined up into two rows, maintaining order.

The young ladies all had smiles on their faces, projecting an ethereal temperament. They looked as gentle and as beautiful as a moon, immediately giving one a good impression.

However, all of them were incredibly strong. As Xiao Chen saw it, these ten-odd ladies were all Martial Sages.

There was even a prideful man with an extraordinary aura in front of the pavilion, helping to maintain order.

These should be outstanding talents from various regions who admired the Lunar Palace Holy Daughter and served as her entourage.

There was still not many cultivators in front of the pavilion. However, in moments, this path in front of the lake would be crowded with cultivators that had heard the news, who would take up all the s.p.a.ce.

“So Close Yet Worlds Apart!”

Stepping forward, Xiao Chen silently traversed five kilometers and descended from the air. He got ahead of most of the cultivators and joined the end of the queue, which was not that long yet.

Currently, the order was well maintained. There was no noise or commotion.

Every time a person stepped forward, a red thread would descend from the elegant pavilion. After it wrapped around the cultivator’s wrist, the red thread would withdraw.

The young girls at the two sides would receive instructions and tell the cultivator the results. If they had ready-made Medicinal Pills, they would give it out. If not, they would give the Alchemic Recipe.

This system was extremely efficient. Xiao Chen could not help but feel disappointed. He originally thought that by joining the queue, he would be able to take a personal look at this famous Holy Daughter.

However, now that he was here, it turned out that this Holy Daughter would not reveal her face at all.
