Chapter 1355 (Raw 1345 Repeat):
In the Refining Pavilion on Refining Island, which was previously Scorching Flame Island, in the Heavenly Star Island's sea territory, Mo Chen and Yue Bingyue were currently anxiously working on merging the Cloud Moon Saber and the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Aside from Xiao Chen, no one else was outside the Refining Pavilion.
Soon, three days passed. During these three days, Xiao Chen did not remain idle. He used this time to meditate on the peak saber strike that he sent out during the Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony.
That saber strike had given him an extremely wondrous feeling. It already skimmed the surface of the state of space.
When Xiao Chen swung the saber, he used the saber to directly control space. He no longer felt the presence of space. He was clearly still in it, but he had felt like he was outside it—an extremely profound feeling.
He had tried to replicate the feeling several times since then. Like before, he still merged all his energies to use that peak saber strike.
However, he failed to get the sense of the saber controlling space, as if it had never appeared. Since that day, many Martial Emperors had come to seek advice about the profoundness of that move.
Xiao Chen did not hide anything. He honestly told these people his opinions on the Saber Domain. At the same time, he also shared with these Martial Emperors his doubts and confusions, exchanging information.
After chatting openly with many different Martial Emperors, Xiao Chen saw many wondrous viewpoints. He benefited a lot from this.
No matter how smart a person was, there would always be something that one could not think of, which might be the crucial part hindering one's breakthrough.
After meditating for several days, although Xiao Chen did not find that state of controlling space with the saber, he gained a familiarity with merging all his energies into the Saber Domain.
He gave this saber strike a name—Void Breaking Stance. The word "breaking" represented the breaking of his previous understanding of the Saber Domain as well as its reconstruction after being broken, the creation of a new Dao.
Xiao Chen had a vague thought in his mind, preparing to combine everything that he learned to create a new Saber Technique. He would merge all the mysteries of the Saber Techniques that he comprehended into this set of Saber Techniques.
This Saber Technique would be called the Flawless Saber Technique with this Void Breaking Stance as the first move.. As for how many moves there would be, that was up to fate and could not be forced.
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and analyzed all the Saber Techniques that he learned in the past, simulating them in his mind.
Many years ago, he started creating his own Saber Techniques. He would even alter the Saber Techniques of predecessors to make them his own. This was how his Wukui Saber Technique, Rushing Thunder Chop, Four Season Saber Technique, and Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique came about.
It looked very tiring and took a lot of effort. Furthermore, success was not guaranteed.
After many years, when Xiao Chen walked the same path that he had before, he celebrated the fact that he had done so back then.
When the sun set, he suddenly opened his eyes. A small black dot appeared in his line of sight. As the black dot approached, it turned into a soft and graceful figure of a woman. This was his first senior sister, Shui Lingling.
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and quickly got up. If First Senior Sister rushed over at this moment, something urgent must have happened.
"First Senior Sister, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Xiao Chen asked quickly, after getting to his feet.
Worry showed on Shui Lingling's face. Her expression was grave as she explained, "The various factions of the Deity Dao Union gathered in Supreme Sky Province three days ago. After one round of ferocious attacks, the outer nine layers of the eighteen formations broke."
"What!?"
This news startled Xiao Chen when he heard it. In the end, the thing that he worried about happened in advance.
However, this day would have come eventually. With Xiao Chen's mental state, he recovered after a moment.
Xiao Chen's expression returned to that of calm. He did not hesitate to say, "Do you need my help? As long as Big Brother Ying says the word, I will be able to invite over many seniors of the Heavenly Starry Ocean to help."
When Shui Lingling saw Xiao Chen's expression, she felt moved. She smiled and replied, "There's no need. It is not that time yet. However, we are now in great lack of Martial-Emperor-level experts to protect the formations. Master already spoke to the Spirit Fox King and is currently seeking help from the Martial Emperors of the Kunlun Realm. He had me come here to see if Junior Brother can come and help."
Xiao Chen sighed softly to indicate his understanding. Right now, the most crucial moment had not arrived yet. Those Holy Masters were his final trump cards. There was no need to use them yet.
What the Supreme Sky Sect lacked now were ordinary Martial-Emperor-level experts. Ying Zongtian was probably asking for Xiao Chen to lend a hand there.
It looked like the Supreme Sky Sect was indeed at an exceptionally dangerous period. Otherwise, Ying Zongtian would not ask Xiao Chen to help.
"No problem. I'll go and inform some people, then come with you."
Since Ying Zongtian called, Xiao Chen naturally would not reject. He turned around and faced the Refining Pavilion to let Mo Chen and Yue Bingyun know about this.
Inside the Refining Pavilion, the expressions of the two women changed drastically, and then they said at the same time, "No way! How can you go at this moment? Your Lunar Shadow Saber is only halfway done merging with the Cloud Moon Saber."
"Wait another four days."
When Shui Lingling heard the details, she revealed a gentle smile on her face. "Junior Brother's kind intentions are enough. Since the Lunar Shadow Saber still needs another four days to complete the merger, then we can wait for another four days. I'll just wait for Junior Brother at the Supreme Sky Sect."
"It's fine. I can go back with you. Even without a saber in my hand, I'm confident of being able to fight equally with Martial Emperors."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly to console Shui Lingling. Since Ying Zongtian asked him for help, it meant that the situation was quite urgent. He definitely had to go.
Perhaps nothing major would happen in four days. However, if something did, it would be too late for regrets. Xiao Chen did not wish to feel any regrets.
In the Refining Pavilion, Mo Chen exchanged glances with Yue Bingyun. Then, they both sighed helplessly.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, wait for a while. Elder Sister Bingyun and I will come out soon. Don't be in a rush to leave." Mo Chen's voice came out from inside.
Could there be a fortuitous change?
Xiao Chen turned his head and said to Shui Lingling, "Please wait for a while."
Shui Lingling nodded and replied, "Sure, I'll listen to Junior Brother."
The two chatted while they waited. In the meantime, Shui Lingling gave a simple explanation of the Supreme Sky Sect's current situation.
The Supreme Sky Sect could barely resist the attacks of the Three Holy Lands when working with the Thunder and Lightning Palace. Aside from the Supreme Sky Prime, they relied on the Worldly Mountain River Great Sun Formation.
If this formation were broken, leaving only the Supreme Sky Prime to rely on, defending the Supreme Sky Sect would be very difficult.
Despite Shui Lingling's calm tone, Xiao Chen could sense the impending doom that the Supreme Sky Sect faced.
This feeling made Xiao Chen even more determined to rush over. No matter what, he needed to do his best to help.
After one hour, Yue Bingyun and Mo Chen carried a rectangular bronze box as they flew out of the Refining Pavilion.
"Buzz!"
The two landed beside Xiao Chen and quickly set the bronze box down. The ground immediately trembled intensely, making everyone wobble.
Shui Lingling exclaimed in shock, "What is in there? It's so heavy."
Mo Chen wiped the sweat off her forehead and caught her breath first before replying, "There is a formation in there. It contains five thousand tons of Frost Flame. It cannot be placed in a spatial ring."
Xiao Chen asked suspiciously, "What's going on?"
Yue Bingyun explained, "Since you want to leave early, we could only come up with this crude method. When the new Lunar Shadow Saber finishes absorbing all this Frost Flame, you can use it. The good thing about this crude method is that there is no need to worry about it. However, the bad thing is that we do not know when it will be finished. It might take ten days or even a month."
"That is long. I thought it needed only four days?" Shui Lingling felt guilty for delaying Xiao Chen's matter when she heard this.
"It's fine."
Xiao Chen smiled and carried the bronze box with one hand. It was rather heavy, but his physical body could rival that of experts who tempered the physical body, so he did not have much trouble picking it up.
After making some preparations, Xiao Chen slung the bronze box over his back. A warm sensation immediately came from the bronze box and turned into gentle flames, which flowed through his meridians.
Xiao Chen's entire body felt warm, and his Primordial Energy automatically flowed out. With the aid of this gentle flame, the Primordial Energy quickly circulated a major cycle of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
The speed of cultivation was twenty percent faster than normal. Furthermore, it was extremely stable. The most important thing was that he was cultivating automatically.
This bronze box is not simple!
"You feel it, right? This bronze box is the sword box of an ancient powerhouse. The sword is no longer there, but just this sword box alone is a peak Emperor Grade Secret Treasure," Yue Bingyun said with a smile when she noticed Xiao Chen's expression.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "It is indeed a treasure. This way, even when I am traveling, I can cultivate."
Yue Bingyun said, "If you like it, I can give it to you. I'll tell you more about it later. There are many other uses for this sword box, which is so heavy that ordinary people cannot just casually carry it on their backs. Not only will it slow down their Movement Techniques, but it can also easily distract them."
There were benefits and detriments; this was indeed the case.
"Well, then, I'll leave with First Senior Sister first."
"No. Elder Sister Bingyun and I discussed it. This time, we must go with you," Mo Chen said suddenly with a determined tone.
