Chapter 1436 (Raw 1426):
After Xiao Chen executed Dharmic World, not only did his figure enlarge, but his strength also temporarily increased to an incredible level.
The only weakness was that this Dharmic World could not last that long.
Xiao Chen did not waste any time. He strode forward, reaching Pan Huang Hall in one step. Right now, Pan Huang Hall did not look very big to him. The gates to the hall were about knee-high.
Right now, Xiao Chen definitely could not use his hand to push the door open. He muttered, "Sorry for the offense," before raising his leg and kicking the gates of Pan Huang Hall.
Qing Yun gaped, watching this scene in disbelief. In the past tens of thousands of years, she had seen many arrogant Saber Sovereigns.
However, there was none like Xiao Chen, who dared to kick the gates. Amid tremors, the gates were kicked open with a buzz.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen returned to his original size. Then, he landed on the ground and entered the large hall. Qing Yun was stunned for a while before quickly walking over as well. No matter what, the gates were open.
In that case, Xiao Chen was the new Saber Sovereign and the master of her, the Item Spirit Qing Yun.
The hall was somewhat empty. After walking along a passageway, Xiao Chen arrived where those statues stood. The statues were placed on pedestals of varying heights. The first row was the lowest, and the farther back one went, the higher the pedestal.
Xiao Chen swept his gaze back to the final row, where there was only one statue, and its position was the highest.
That person wore golden clothes, and his hair was scattered around casually. He appeared brash, letting his brilliance show freely. A smile hung on his face, and he gave off an indescribable atmosphere of relaxation and spontaneity.
Compared to the other Saber Sovereigns with varied appearances, the feeling that this statue gave off was the most special. However, Xiao Chen could not quite put his finger on how it was special. It clearly was a statue as well, so what difference was there?
Qing Yun explained, "That is Pan Huang. He forged the Saber Sovereign Medallion. He is also the one who left an opportunity for all the bladesmen of the Kunlun Realm."
Xiao Chen let go of his doubts and asked, "He left the Kunlun Realm in the end?"
Qing Yun nodded and replied, "Pan Huang lived in the most glorious era of the Ancient Era. Even during that era, he stood at the peak of the entire world. He passed the many tests of the Kunlun Mountain long ago and left this world."
"The Kunlun Mountain! Are you saying that the road out of the abandoned land is at Kunlun Mountain?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked excitedly.
Qing Yun felt confused. She said, "Even at your cultivation realm, no one told you that the road out of the Kunlun Realm is the endless mountain path on Kunlun Mountain?"
Xiao Chen was startled awake. The first time he went to Kunlun Mountain, he could already sense that Kunlun Mountain was strange.
Back then, cultivators of the various races were there. The Rock of Origin also lay buried below the mountain. There was no end to its peak; no one knew where it led. Only now did he understand.
So it turned out that the endless mountain road was the road leading out of the Kunlun Realm.
"However, don't get too excited. That road has always been there. Even so, since ancient times, the number of people who could walk out alive is simply too small. That road was known as the Road to Heaven. At the same time, it also had another name: the Road to Death."
Qing Yun continued, "Even a Prime would not be confident of walking that road. Once one enters, it is hard to turn back. For most people, it is a road that leads to death, with almost no chance of survival.
"The Martial Epoch lasted for a long time, from the Immemorial Era to the Ancient Era, then from there to this age. The number of people like Pan Huang that appeared since then could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Everyone knew about the path leading out of the Kunlun Realm. However, who dared to walk it?"
Xiao Chen thought about it calmly. Suddenly, he remembered the once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity that Chu Chaoyun mentioned.
Since the road at Kunlun Mountain is a path to death, then Chu Chaoyun must mean another road.
There is also the Thunder Sovereign's disappearance back then. He is missing even now. He probably knew that he could not surpass the limit and chose to take this path of no return. Come to think of it, everything points to disaster.
There is also the Cyclic Astral Lord. That fellow once hinted to me that I would go where the Thunder Sovereign went sooner or later. So that was the case.
It turns out that the Cyclic Astral Lord does not dare to walk that path. He wanted me to finish walking it and bring him away.
"What are you thinking about?" Qing Yun said with a smile as she looked at the distracted Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and answered, "Nothing. It was just that I have rarely been in contact with people in the past few years, and no one told me this. This is the first I'm hearing it, so I'm somewhat shocked. Don't mind me."
"Hehe! It's fine. Of all the Saber Sovereigns, you are the first to kick the gates open. You are also the first to comprehend Saber Energy on your own before coming here. I think very highly of you."
Qing Yun appeared very happy. Then, she pointed at a passageway and said, "Come, I'll bring you around to familiarize yourself with the hall. That is the Comprehension Platform. Although you already comprehend Saber Energy, when you cultivate on it, you can accomplish more with less effort."
Xiao Chen looked in the direction she pointed at. When he walked over step by step, he saw a prayer mat floating in midair.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on it and was surprised to discover a huge tree appear behind him. It was a bodhi tree filled with bodhi flowers. The fragrance of its flowers spread under the shade of the tree, putting one into a wondrous state all unawares.
"Come down. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I still have not introduced you to some of the places," Qing Yun said as she pulled Xiao Chen down to continue bringing him around Pan Huang Hall.
In the next instant, Xiao Chen turned his head back to look. He discovered that the bodhi tree was already gone. Only now did he understand that the bodhi three was just an illusion and not really the holy tree of the Buddhists.
"Right here are the Five Element Pools. Over there are the Lightning Pool, the Strong Wind Pool, the Ice Pool, the Heptagold Pool…you can find a corresponding pool for all the attributes in the world."
Qing Yun pointed to a large group of pools and introduced them. "No matter what attribute you cultivate, you will be able to find it. Afterward, you can use it to temper your will."
"Your will of thunder still has not condensed into an Innate Thunder Crystal, right? When you have time, you should go and soak in the Lightning Pool."
Xiao Chen went over and took a look. Then, he flinched, taking three steps back. The average-sized pool was filled with black lightning. There were countless lightning bolts in there, flickering nonstop.
Just thinking about soaking in the pool made him tremble in fear. The instant he entered it, he probably would drop dead.
The space inside Pan Huang Hall was very mysterious. Qing Yun brought Xiao Chen around for half a day before she finished showing him the whole place.
After making the rounds, Xiao Chen became more curious about this Pan Huang, who truly had to have been a genius to have left behind such a space in the Saber Sovereign Medallion, taking great care of the latter Saber Sovereigns.
No wonder Wu Xiaotian said that there would be benefits from obtaining the Saber Sovereign Medallion.
Pan Huang was far stronger than Xiao Chen expected. Perhaps even the Azure Emperor could not compare to him. The peak age of the Ancient Era was an age that was several times more dazzling that the current golden age.
Exactly what kind of existence was this person for him to be able to stand at the peak of such an age?
"Alright, we are done now. It is time to tell you more about Saber Energy," Qing Yun said seriously, withdrawing the smile on her face.
They had finally reached the main topic. Xiao Chen listened attentively and watched Qing Yun quietly.
"There are three thousand Great Dao in this world and eight hundred Side Doors. As the saying goes, the side doors are not the right path. The eight hundred Side Doors are not part of the various Great Dao. As for the Saber Dao, it was not even considered a part of the Side Doors.
"As you know, the sword came first, then the saber. The saber did not exist in the first place. So the Saber Dao was not among the three thousand Great Dao and the eight hundred Side Doors."
Xiao Chen listened quietly. He already knew all this. He had learned it when he first studied the saber. The main point had not arrived yet.
"Although Pan Huang was not the inventor of the Saber Dao, he was the one who brought the Kunlun Realm's Saber Dao to the peak. Because of him, the Saber Dao made it into the three thousand Great Dao and rivaled the Sword Dao.
"Only by comprehending Saber Energy can you be considered to be inducted into the Saber Dao. Only then can you obtain Great Dao Energy."
