In Wandering Immortal Market, Chen Wang carefully examined the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture.

This Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture extremely profound. It contains not only methods for breaking through to the Golden Core stage and subsequent Cultivation Method, but also corresponding sword techniques, Mnemonic, and mental cultivation methods.

This surprised Chen Wang somewhat.

This Dragon Slaying Sword Art, combined with the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture, is extremely powerful.

He spent a month diligently studying this scripture here, and now he has finally grasped its essence.

The rest will fall into place naturally.

His own cultivation level was already at the Late-Stage Qi Refining, and he diligently circulated his Qi throughout his body following the path of the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture.

More than a month later, he sat cross-legged, and the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture to operate on its own.

He tried his best to condense the golden core above his Qi Sea.

But before that step, you need to take a good look at your body.

He originally cultivated the Great River Sword Art, and his meridians were extremely resilient, capable of withstanding a great deal of Sword Qi.

Now, when I practice the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture, I feel a stinging sensation in my meridians, as if they are being torn apart.

"The Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture is indeed extraordinary; it is far more domineering than the Cultivation Method I originally practiced."

Chen Wang had always thought that sword cultivators were all fragile, but after practicing the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture, he discovered that the Sword Qi of the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture had the effect of tempering the body, refining the Root Bone from the inside out.

It is likely that the great master who created this Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture suffered greatly from this and attached great importance to body tempering.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the entire year, Chen Wang was practicing the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture.

With his Sword Qi and spiritual power, the Sword Qi he can now casually unleash is comparable to the original Great River Sword Art.

However, there are even more profound methods beyond the Great River Sword Art.

Chen Wang had a vague feeling that this sword technique probably also had a corresponding Golden Core Stage sword technique.

This is because his Sword Heart is clear and bright; otherwise, even if others practiced in the same way, they would not feel anything.

For more than a year, Chen Wang basically lived a secluded life, focusing on his spiritual practice in this place.

After Chen Wang and Old Meng completed this big deal, he settled down at Wandering Immortal Market and prepared to break through to the Golden Core stage.

He has now mastered the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture to a very high level.

On this day,

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Wang gently stood up and said, "It's time to go out and buy some spirit medicine."

The power required to break through to the Golden Core stage is extremely vast, necessitating the use of a large quantity of spirit medicine, and even then, there is still a risk of failure.

Therefore, Chen Wang planned to prepare more.

Before that, he went to the Martial Dao World, and he often returned to this place during that year.

After all, this was his logistics base, and the Yin vein there was very dense, which Chen Wang had also obscured.

At this moment, Chen Wang entered and took some of the demon's Essence Blood, and flesh, then reinforced the seal.

His Storage Artifact also contained a considerable amount of Demon Flesh.

However, in the Cultivation World, they did not make a large-scale attack all at once.

Things are valued for their rarity, and besides, he claimed that he had accidentally stumbled upon those Demon Beast clans.

If one has an endless supply of Demon Flesh, it would probably arouse suspicion.

He had a fairly good relationship with Old Meng, but he didn't dare to completely trust him.

The Martial Dao World remained unchanged. The imperial court's One Prefecture, Three Divisions suppressed demons and eliminated the remaining evil forces, leaving only small fry.

Most of the great demons had already been wiped out by Chen Wang, and they were basically all wiped out.

Chen Wang arrived at the imperial palace of the Great Chu.

Inside the Great Chu Imperial Palace, Chu Xiong's withered body now looked increasingly frightening, skin and bones, seemingly only a thin layer of skin.

When Chen Wang arrived, the middle-aged man in blue outside immediately became alert.

Upon seeing that it was Chen Wang, he breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Master Chen."

Chen Wang waved his hand.

This man named Qin Da was always so polite.

Chen Wang had never given him any guidance, so he was unwilling to be called Chen Shishi (Master Chen).

This man, however, always treated his nephew with the respect due to a son or niece.

Lying on his sickbed, Chu Xiong was barely breathing. Upon seeing Chen Wang, he raised his withered fingers.

It's hard to imagine that the old man, who was at the peak of the Martial Saint realm, would look like this now.

Chen Wang stepped forward and sat down by the bedside, took the old man's hand, and a gentle force was transferred to him.

He is the number one grandmaster in the Martial Dao World, so there are some things he is not afraid to reveal.

Of course, martial arts internal True Qi also possesses this gentler healing attribute, but it is rare and related to the Cultivation Method.

The Old Ancestor, now on his deathbed, slowly said, "You've come."

Chen Wang nodded. "I'm here."

Chu Xiong, the patriarch of the Chu Dynasty, managed a smile, though he spoke with great difficulty, pointing to his throat.

The middle-aged man in blue stood nearby, looking very distressed.

It's truly lamentable that such a powerful and influential figure could only end up like this on his deathbed.

Chen Wang transferred a gentle stream of Spiritual Qi over to her, this time increasing the total amount of Spiritual Qi.

Chu Xiong's gaze gradually calmed down, no longer so unfocused. It was as if he was experiencing a final burst of energy before death, as if Chen Wang had protected his heart.

A light appeared in the old man's eyes, and his speech became much smoother.

"I know I don't have much time left, and I'm holding on to this life just to wait for you."

If it weren't for Chen Wang, he would have died long ago.

Now that Chen Wang has lived for so long, which is considered to be competing with the heavens for longevity, he is already very grateful.

Chen Wang said, "I know, that's why I'm here."

Chu Xiong said, "I have ordered people to start reorganizing the One Prefecture, Three Divisions, bringing them all under the Yellow Court Prefecture. I hope you will be appointed as the prefect of Yellow Court Prefecture, and Little Qin will assist you."

Just as Chen Wang was about to refuse, Chu Xiong gripped his hand tightly and said with a wry smile, "I hope you will give this dying man some face."

Chen Wang frowned slightly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Chu Xiong said, "I know that this secular dynasty is nothing more than a piece of cake for you, and you don't care about it. I took the liberty of requesting a throne for you."

He glanced at the middle-aged man in the blue robe.

The middle-aged man took out an imperial edict and handed it over.

While others would naturally read the imperial edict aloud, Chen Wang respectfully handed it over with both hands, as if he were submitting an intelligence report.

"Becoming a king...you know I don't care about that kind of thing."

Chen Wang shook his head.

Chu Xiong frankly said, "I am also planning for my descendants. I have some selfish motives, and I hope you will understand."

This imperial edict conferred upon Chen Wang the North-Suppressing King.

The imperial court had long ago issued a decree throughout the land, bestowing upon him the Nation-Protecting Martial Saint.

Now he has been granted the title of North-Suppressing King, which can be described as the utmost favor bestowed upon him.

Chen Wang didn't care about worldly power and position, but after thinking about it, Chen Wang thought being a Prince wasn't bad.

Chu Xiong said, "If the Chu Dynasty is in trouble, I hope you can lend a helping hand for my sake."

He knew that this young man was ruthless and decisive, and his heart was shockingly cold.

Therefore, he did not have high hopes for it.

Chen Wang nodded slightly.

"Good."

This old man fought for humanity and demons for hundreds of years. On his deathbed, he made a plan, the purpose of which was to create some connection between Chen Wang and the Chu Dynasty.

However, Chen Wang did not reject his slightly selfish plan.

He never intended to do this; otherwise, seizing the throne of the Great Chu would have been nothing.

"I have only one regret in my life: failing to become Martial God. But I am very gratified to have witnessed the pacification of demons and the emergence of a figure like you in my lifetime."

The Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Art can be used to challenge the Martial God.

Chen Wang estimated that reaching the Martial God realm might indeed be comparable to the combat power of Golden Core Stage body cultivator.

The difficulty of crossing this formidable barrier is unimaginable.

"I have no chance to reach this realm, but I hope you can achieve it in your lifetime and become Martial God," Chu Xiong said.

Chen Wang nodded, holding his hand.

Chu Xiong's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he said, "The demons were all awakened by the Demon God. Although the demon scourge has been quelled, we don't know if that Demon God will return again. You must be careful."

Chen Wang nodded slightly.

The old man eventually exhausted his Qi and Blood and passed away.

Before his death, his gaze toward Chen Wang was very calm.

However, whether this Old Ancestor could actually tell that Chen Wang was a visitor from outside the realm remains unknown.

He merged One Prefecture, Three Divisions, appointed Chen Wang as the prefect, and treated Chen Wang with the respect due to a king or nobleman. This can be seen as a plan for his descendants, a painstaking effort.

It is natural for mortals to grow old, get sick, and die. Even a martial arts master like him could not ultimately overcome the limits of lifespan and perished completely.

Witnessing the fall of the Chu Dynasty's Old Ancestor only strengthened Chen Wang's resolve to seek the Dao.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, one's lifespan becomes even longer.

After condensing the Nascent Soul, one's lifespan can reach several thousand years, which is truly astonishing.

Chen Wang took a deep breath, his resolve to achieve immortality growing even stronger.

"Cultivating only one's realm without cultivating combat power is like a lamb to the slaughter, helpless when faced with danger. But cultivating only combat techniques without cultivating longevity will ultimately lead to succumbing to the limits of time and turning into a handful of dust."

The emperor of Great Chu was a descendant of Chu Xiong. He was deeply grieved and held the highest rites for him, burying him in the imperial mausoleum.

Chen Wang did not appear in the huge funeral procession.

However, he also saw him off from afar on the mountaintop, raising his wine jug to bid farewell to this human hero who fought against the demons.

Returning to Wandering Immortal Market, he slowly walked into the pavilion.

Watching the carp swimming in the lake, he threw in a handful of fish food, and the carp swam over in droves, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Chen Wang had excellent eyesight. He could see 990 carp in the lake as soon as he scanned the water. There were only 990 carp in the entire lake.

Looking at the emerald green water, many thoughts welled up in his mind.

"Chu Xiong's combat strength is extraordinary. If he were to cultivate his body in the Cultivation World, he would probably reach an even higher level."

"The environment is sometimes very important too."

Chen Wang shook his head, and couldn't help but recall a saying he often heard in his previous life.

Choice is more important than effort.

He stood on the lake for a long time, feeling a breakthrough in his State of Mind.

He exhaled a long breath and returned to the house, then continued to cultivate the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture.

The Chu Dynasty granted him a vast fiefdom, encompassing several prefectures, and nearly half of the Chu Dynasty's territory was under his control.

Chen Wang initially found this matter somewhat strange, but after thinking about it, he understood.

If the circumstances allowed, this person would probably have given him the entire Chu Dynasty, thus binding him to his fate.

"Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them. Even the heroes of Chu Xiong, on their deathbed, were still planning for their descendants."

Now Chen Wang has his own demon Essence Blood production base in the Chu Dynasty, as well as several Yin veins. These few things alone will make him visit often.

He was also somewhat wary of the Demon God who could awaken demons.

"I wonder what kind of background that Demon God has. Could he be a visitor from another realm like me?"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He then immersed his Divine Sense in it and found that the points Light Spot Light Spot connected by the Bronze Gate, representing the Great Winter World and the Martial Dao World, were very bright.

A dimmed screen indicates that the page is inaccessible or cannot be accessed.

You can go there when it lights up.

But now these two Light Spot shine as brightly as stars, and Chen Wang can't help but feel a little sentimental.

After returning from the Martial Dao World, the Light Spot of that Martial Dao World seemed to shine even brighter.

However, compared to the others, the Light Spot from the Winter is stronger and brighter.

Chen Wang possessed the ability to remember everything he saw. After observing carefully, he discovered that the Light Spot in the Winter were also brighter than before.

What's the connection between these two things?

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow slightly.

He fought Zombies in the Winter and unified the Three Great Powers.

Although he did not participate in secular dynasties during the Chu Dynasty, he was now enfeoffed as the North-Suppressing King, possessing half of the Chu Dynasty's territory, and was fighting across the land to eliminate demons.

Chen Wang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Could it be related to my achievements in this world?"

Chen Wang then sensed it and discovered that one of the dim Light Spot was now showing signs of glowing.

Chen Wang's heart stirred, "Another new universe!"

His eyes were very bright, and he was looking forward to seeing what the next myriad worlds would be like.

The two worlds he experienced were one with Genetic Ability and the other with martial arts cultivation.

"I wonder what kind of world we'll connect to this time, and what kind of resources we'll get?"

Chen Wang's eyes grew brighter.

Who would mind that there are more and more backyards?

Chen Wang smiled slightly.

During this period, his Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture more.

At this moment, Chen Wang felt a surge of Sword Qi surrounding him, incredibly sharp, with a faint sound of Dragon's Roar's roar.

He mastered the Great River Sword Intent, demonstrating his considerable talent in swordsmanship.

With the help of the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture, the power of the original sword technique was increased by more than half.

This is an extremely alarming number.

In other words, he was already at the Late-Stage Qi Refining, and now his swordsmanship has increased its destructive power by another 50%.

"The difference between each major realm is like heaven and earth. I wonder what kind of earth-shattering changes will occur once the Golden Core realm is reached?"

Chen Wang was somewhat expectant.

The next day

Chen Wang set off for the Rare Treasure Pavilion Rare Treasure Pavilion to make a deal with Elder Meng De there, exchanging some Demon Flesh.

This time he brought more than last time, and he also brought special materials such as weapons bred by the Black Demon.

Elder Meng De gasped upon seeing it, "This knife..."

Although the knife was chipped by Chen Wang's Green Ox Sword, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the knife.

To be precise, this knife is a good embryo, a top-quality material for weapon forging.

The Black Demon's nurturing method was far too crude, unlike the refining techniques of cultivators.

Elder Meng De exclaimed in amazement, "Where did you go to obtain something like this?!"

Chen Wang sighed, "It was a near-death experience. That place was extremely dangerous; I almost lost my life there. But making money isn't shameful. Otherwise, how would I buy those spirit medicine to help me break through to the Golden Core stage?"

He deliberately made it sound pitiful.

In fact, he already had it in his possession, but he was waiting for the right price to sell it, and slowly releasing it to the public.

Elder Meng De, however, believed it to be true.

because,

He believed that Chen Wang might have accidentally stumbled upon a place where a powerful being tamed and nurtured spirit beasts.

"You should still be careful. With your talent, you can play it safe and don't need to take unnecessary risks."

After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to remind Chen Wang.

"I'll raise the purchase price for you a bit, but I can lower the price of the pills, don't worry about that."

Elder Meng De was truly moved by the talent.

Chen Wang was deeply moved. "Thank you so much, Old Meng!"

In reality, he simply took it out of Storage Artifact; the level of danger was negligible.

but,

Old Meng is a good person.
