Nation Stunned

When the Old Ancestor of the Wu Family arrived, the place was already in ruins, and his shock was no less than that of the Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty.

He saw an old man and a young boy standing there, with limbs and broken pieces scattered on the ground, and he quickly went over.

"Senior."

He quickly stepped forward and bowed.

The Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty, Chu Xiong, is an extremely brilliant name.

Without his leadership in resisting the most powerful Old Flood Dragon among the demons, the human world would probably have fallen long ago.

Therefore, every martial arts practitioner holds him in the highest esteem.

Chu Xiong waved his hand.

"Xiao Wu, you're here too."

The Wu Family Old Ancestor, with his white hair and imposing stature, could only be addressed as "Little Wu" in front of the Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty, and even seemed somewhat pleased upon hearing this.

After all, he was a pinnacle figure in martial arts.

Only then did the Wu Family Old Ancestor notice the young man beside him and exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Wang, what are you doing here?"

Chen Wang spread his hands, "It's about slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits."

The Wu Family Old Ancestor immediately expressed his admiration for him, saying, "You arrived earlier than me and are able to fight alongside Senior Chu. This is something I have always dreamed of."

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, and Chu Xiong was also stunned for a moment.

Then Chen Wang said, "That's right."

Chu Xiong's lips twitched.

The Wu Family Old Ancestor said, "You don't know, but when I was young, I heard the legend of the elder who fought against demons on his own. Moreover, in the battle against the dragon, he used his peak swordsmanship, the Sword Nine level of the Sword Technique, to injure the dragon. He did not hesitate to consume his own essence and almost lost his life!"

He spoke of this with great admiration.

You must understand that the dragon was not something an ordinary Martial Saint could handle.

However, Chu Xiong's expression was somewhat unnatural.

He wouldn't have thought much of this at first, since it was something he had accomplished. But now that Chen Wang had just killed the dragon with a single sword strike, he felt increasingly uneasy listening to it.

The Wu Family Old Ancestor looked at the enormous head of the underground dragon and exclaimed in surprise, "Congratulations, senior, on your great increase in power and your slaying of the demon!"

Chu Xiong: "..."

His lips twitched again.

"Huh!?"

The Wu Family Old Ancestor exclaimed in surprise, "This is the corpse of Golden Toad?!"

The Golden Toad's skin is highly distinctive, so even though it has been cut into pieces, he can still recognize it.

He looked at Chu Xiong with burning eyes, "Senior, this time when you came out of seclusion, you actually wiped out all the demons in the world and wiped out several of the Sky Demon Alliance's major forces in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that he was about to say something, Chu Xiong quickly coughed to interrupt him, "Wait a minute, Xiao Wu, I didn't do this, it was all done by this Young Master Chen."

He also addressed Chen Wang respectfully as "Young Master".

The Wu Family Old Ancestor was stunned for a moment, his mind not quite processing what was happening.

"What?"

Chu Xiong said, "When I arrived, the battle was already over. The martial arts expert who fought the demons earlier was Young Master Chen."

The Wu Family Old Ancestor stared wide-eyed at Chen Wang in disbelief, remaining silent for a long time.

Chu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Xiao Wu is a good person, but he's too straightforward."

Even the Wu Family's top martial arts master was just a junior in his eyes, and today he almost lost face.

Chu Xiong coughed and said, "I plan to go back and ask the emperor to bestow upon Young Master Chen the title of Martial Arts Grandmaster and Nation-Protecting Martial Saint."

The Wu Family Old Ancestor was still in shock.

Young Master Chen was originally only ranked first in the Little Martial Rankings. He had just mastered the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill and was able to defeat me.

Now he's transformed into Nation-Protecting Martial Saint, Martial Arts Grandmaster!?

Chen Wang said modestly, "No need, no need, that's a bit of an exaggeration."

Chu Xiong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You saved my life, this is nothing at all."

The Wu Family Old Ancestor blinked, even more incredulous.

Chen Wang saved Senior Chu's life?!

What happened? Didn't the battle end when the Old Ancestor arrived? How come those who fought the demons are unharmed, but those who were traveling are in trouble?

Tonight brought him so many surprises that even this martial arts expert was somewhat dazed.

The news quickly spread throughout the Chu Dynasty, and official documents were sent all over the country.

The five great demons of the Sky Demon Alliance — Old Flood Dragon, Golden Toad, Bei Feng, Azure Flower Goddess, and Black Demon —were all annihilated!

All of this was done by that young man, Chen Wang, who was bestowed the title of Nation-Protecting Martial Saint.

The news caused an immediate uproar, both in the martial arts world and the imperial court! The entire nation was in an uproar! Humans had been fighting against demons for so many years, and countless masters had died.

For countless years, human warriors have fought one after another for this cause, but with these powerful demons around, the human race simply cannot contend with them.

Humans are physically weak, while these demons are immortal, putting humans at a great disadvantage.

The great demon secretly infiltrated the human world, waiting for an opportunity to stir up trouble.

This is all thanks to the achievements of the Chu Dynasty's Old Ancestor. Without him, these demons would have swept across the world long ago.

However, this time, when several powerful demons mobilized together, they were unexpectedly wiped out.

The name Chen Wang immediately resounded throughout the Chu Dynasty! Not only that, some of the Chu Dynasty's demon strongholds were also eliminated.

Some were hidden extremely well, and some demons even hid in the mountains and wilderness, but they were all wiped out.

If the people of the Chu Dynasty didn't feel much when the five great demons were killed, but were only shocked, then Chen Wang led the people of the One Prefecture, Three Divisions to fight across the north and south, sweeping away the demons.

This chivalrous spirit of putting the public good first is truly astonishing.

Even the most powerful human martial saints held him in deep reverence.

Chen Wang extracted some information from those powerful demons, killed many remnants of the Sky Demon Alliance, and subjected each captured demon to severe torture, employing various methods such as soul searching and mind control, to trace the clues and eradicate the Sky Demon Alliance's influence.

As a result, he obtained an astonishing amount of demon materials.

Needless to say, the bodies of demons are not only useful, but some demons also have special uses.

The remaining remnants of the Sky Demon Alliance couldn't cause any real trouble.

And so, half a year passed.

Meanwhile, the martial saint who should have died long ago remained in the palace, cheerfully living like an ordinary old man.

Not only that, he was no longer skin and bones. Although his complexion was sallow and he was somewhat thin, he was in good spirits and had gained some muscle.

He wandered around the palace all day long, and even the emperor of the Chu Dynasty had to bow to him. Seeing the Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty in such good health, the emperor was overjoyed, especially the middle-aged man in blue, Qin Da.

He knew that the Old Ancestor was going to die that day, but later the Old Ancestor not only did not die, but also the story of the White Robe Young Master Chen Wang killing the five great demons spread.

Later, he even led the people of One Prefecture, Three Divisions to fight across the world.

This middle-aged man in blue did not stay in the palace forever. He later participated in the battle to exterminate demons and greatly admired the young man's ruthless style.

However, there was something he had always kept in his heart. Today, when he came to the palace again, he respectfully said to the Old Ancestor, "Old Ancestor, there is something I have always wanted to ask."

Chu Xiong chuckled and said, "You want to ask me why I didn't die?"

The middle-aged man in blue quickly said, "This matter is somewhat offensive to the Old Ancestor, but I am indeed curious."

Chu Xiong said, "That day I was indeed exhausted, and forcibly burning my Qi and Blood was beyond saving. However, that Young Master Chen was proficient in medicine and managed to save me. However, I can no longer use martial arts True Qi."

The middle-aged man in blue widened his eyes. "It was him!"

Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still found it hard to believe.

Those old monsters of the Pill Sect went to great lengths to prolong their Old Ancestor's life, and this young man actually has this ability! Old Ancestor Chu Dynasty said, "That's right, actually I didn't believe it either. That day I originally planned to chat with him for a few words and then calmly face death, but I didn't expect that after taking a few of his pills, I was actually saved by him. It's simply miraculous!"

The middle-aged man in blue, Qin Da, frowned and said, "His methods and his talent are simply monstrous. Could he be some kind of demon in disguise, trying to gain our trust indirectly?"

The Chu Dynasty Old Ancestor shook his head and said, "The strongest in the Sky Demon Alliance is that Old Flood Dragon, but I saw with my own eyes that day the Old Flood Dragon was skinned and had its tendons pulled out. With his strength, he didn't need to go through such trouble. This is absolutely impossible."

The middle-aged man in blue robes said, "When demons first appeared in the world, there were some things that were beyond our imagination. Even now, we still don't fully understand the abilities of some demons, perhaps..."

The Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty shook his head. "Isn't this the best outcome?"

He gave the middle-aged man in blue a deep look, and Qin Da was immediately startled, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"The Old Ancestor is right."

In an instant, he suddenly understood many things.

No wonder the Old Ancestor bestowed upon this young man the title of Nation-Protecting Martial Saint and entrusted him with the Chu Dynasty's ultimate martial art, the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Art.

Moreover, all the military forces of the Chu Dynasty obeyed this young man, and even His Majesty treated him with utmost respect, calling him a sage.

The middle-aged man in blue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Old Ancestor, I understand. One day I will surpass him and prevent the dynasty from being overshadowed by him."

The Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty gave him a deep look, then suddenly smiled and said, "You're overthinking it."

The middle-aged man in blue was taken aback.

The Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty said, "This person has the ability to overturn the world, so I must treat him with caution and not underestimate him."

"His killing of demons may not have stemmed from a chivalrous heart, but rather from viewing demons as mere materials, like cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep. But I don't care about that, as long as we share the same stance."

"Don't harbor such thoughts. It will be beneficial to get along well with him. If you have such thoughts, he might skin you alive."

The Old Ancestor of the Chu Dynasty smiled and patted the middle-aged man in blue on the shoulder, "You must remember my words and never make an enemy of this man."

The middle-aged man in blue nodded hurriedly, "I will obey the Old Ancestor's command."

In the Cultivation World, a cave abode has been carved out in a beautiful mountain, complete with stone tables and chairs.

Chen Wang's figure appeared in the cave abode.

After defeating the five great demons in the Martial Dao World, Chen Wang fought his way through, frantically collecting materials.

That's right, those demons were indeed materials in his eyes, and they were all experience points.

Even after being killed, one can still be blessed by that special aura, so Chen Wang naturally wouldn't let anyone else take it away.

Now he is even stronger.

Chen Wang sensed his own physique and found that it had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when he had just mastered the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill and broken through to the Martial Saint realm.

Each punch unleashed was accompanied by a terrifying surge of Qi and Blood.

Moreover, Chen Wang also cultivated the Chu Dynasty's ultimate technique, the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Art, which is a technique that can help one break through to the Martial God level.

However, despite its existence, no one has been able to master it to this day.

Chen Wang has been frantically slaying demons and monsters during this period, pushing his physique to a very high level, even stronger than when he was at the peak of his Martial Saint Qi and Blood.

The number one person below the Martial God! In addition, he has also collected a large amount of demon materials.

Although the Bei Feng was formed from wind and snow, after he dealt with it, he left behind an irregular ice crystal containing a rich power, which surprised Chen Wang.

Chen Wang also collected a lot of other demon Essence Blood, which further helped him break through his martial Dao Realm.

In the Cultivation World, this is the realm of body refinement.

However, Chen Wang has not yet fought against a proper Foundation Establishment Realm Body Refinement Cultivator, so he does not know where he is now.

"It's time to head to the Western Continent. The Western Continent is vast, so it's a good opportunity to exchange the resources we have for more cultivation resources."

Cultivating immortality is the fundamental principle, and Chen Wang will never forget this.

In the Chu Dynasty, besides that Yin Vein, Chen Wang found another Yin Vein where Yin Qi converged, which greatly surprised him.

Moreover, Chen Wang also found a very small piece of ore on it.

This ore contains pure, Sha Qi; if it falls into the hands of someone who cultivates Demonic Path Technique, they would surely treasure it like a priceless gem.

Chen Wang quickly packed up and took everything from the cave before preparing to set off for the Western Continent.

The Western Continent is quite far from the Northern Border Territory, and it took Chen Wang some time to Sword Flight.

While he was traveling by Sword Flight, he encountered two cultivators.

A man and a woman Sword Flight. The man was about forty years old, with a square face and very fine clothes.

The girl Seventeen or eighteen years old and had a beautiful face.

Chen Wang roughly sensed that both of them were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Chen Wang politely inquired, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing this, the two stopped, and the three of them began to chat while flying through the air on their swords.

The man clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Wang said, "My name is Chen Wang. I wish to travel to the Western Continent. May I ask where this place is?"

The man smiled slightly. "This is within the territory of the Great Luck Dynasty, on the border of the Western Continent. Judging from your origin, you come from the Northern Border?"

Chen Wang said, "That's right. I admire the outstanding people and beautiful scenery of the Western Continent, so I came here specifically."

The man said, "My name is Chen Qiu."

The woman also gave a slight bow and said softly, "Liu Qun."

After some conversation, Chen Wang discovered that the man and woman were disciples of Sky Show Mountain, a cultivation sect of the Great Luck Dynasty.

I came out this time to find a spirit medicine, and I have found it and am about to return.

The two invited Chen Wang to visit Sky Show Mountain, and after a moment's thought, Chen Wang agreed.

He was unfamiliar with the place and people in the Western Continent, so this was a good opportunity for him to learn more about it.

Upon arriving at Sky Show Mountain, I found Sky Show Mountain to be extremely impressive.

The Ethereal Immortal Sect was the largest cultivation sect Chen Wang had ever seen, but it was still somewhat inferior to Sky Show Mountain.

The archway alone gives people a very extraordinary feeling.

The entire mountain is protected by a powerful array, making it extremely rich in Spiritual Qi. Birds and beasts, as well as lingzhi mushrooms and spirit medicine, can be seen everywhere.

It feels like a paradise on earth.

Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh,

"As expected of the Western Continent."

Chen Qiu said, "My Sky Show Mountain is not even ranked in the Western Continent. Even in the Great Luck Dynasty on this border, it is only a second-rate sect."

He spoke with great candor.

Chen Wang took another deep breath.

"I knew I made the right choice coming to this Western Continent!"
