Peerless War God

"First of all, I have to congratulate you for being able to snatch the Mystic Sky Treasure from Li Xuan's hands. You have to know that countless Tribulation Transcender cultivators have dreamed of having a single chance, but you managed to snatch it. You're not bad."    

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "It was also a fluke."    

The Marquis shook his head, "You are too modest. This is not a fluke, but the result of your own hard work. You have made me look at you in a different light."    

"This is all thanks to you, Lord Zi Hou. You gave me such a good opportunity," Chen Xiao said.    

The Duke of Zi Jin waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, I didn't give you this chance alone. I gave it to the Tribulation Transcender cultivators of the Purple Cloud City."    

Hearing the Marquis's words, Chen Xiao did not say anything else. There were some words that he only needed to understand in his heart and could not say out loud.    

No matter what, the Marquis Zi Jin had helped him a lot in this matter. He would naturally remember this favor in his heart and would not dare to forget it.    

At this moment, the Duke of Purple Gold's tone changed and he said: "But what I didn't expect was that you would reject Li Zhan's offer so easily. Didn't you see Li Zhan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot?"    

The Duke of Purple Gold laughed out loud without any hesitation, causing Chen Xiao to be embarrassed and unable to reply.    

The Duke of Zi Jin could tease Li Zhan, but he didn't have the guts to do so.    

The Duke of Purple Gold put on a serious expression and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. What kind of treasure did you choose? I might be able to help you."    

"This..." Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, then took out the purple-green gourd and held it in his hand, saying, "Sir, please take a look. This is it."    

"Hiss ~"    

After seeing the purple-green gourd, the Duke of Purple Gold could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He took half a step back and stared at Chen Xiao with his eyes wide open.    

"You... you chose the Soul Seizing Sword. Really, really..."    

The corner of the Duke of Zi Jin's mouth twitched, but he could not say a word. He looked at Chen Xiao in horror.    

Chen Xiao was startled as he had a bad feeling in his heart. He then asked, "Sir, is there a problem with this thing?"    

The Duke of Zi Jin held his chin with his right hand and pretended to be deep in thought as he replied, "No, there is no problem. It's just that the previous owners of the Soul Seizing Sword all died miserably."    

... "" Chen Xiao's face darkened.    

At this moment, he suddenly recalled that Commander Han Lian looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.    

He took a deep breath and asked, "Is this thing really that weird? My lord, is it too late for me to regret now?"    

After the Duke of Purple Gold heard this, he looked at him with a smile and shook his head, "I don't think so."    

"Eh..." Chen Xiao was speechless and could only smile bitterly.    

The Duke of Zi Jin took a step forward and patted his shoulder. He smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, the Soul Seizing Sword is indeed powerful. In the future, when you use it, you just need to be more careful. This treasure hurts both yourself and others."    

"That's right." Chen Xiao felt a little better after hearing that.    

He had actually already expected that the power of the Soul Seizing Sword would be accompanied by a huge risk.    

After all, the small azure sword in the gourd was formed from his own soul. Once he used an attack, his soul would shake.    

Only the power of the soul could attack the opponent's soul.    

He knew this very well. Although there was a risk, it was extremely powerful. He just needed to use it well.    

The Duke of Purple Gold seemed to think of something and said after thinking for a while, "There's a rumor about the Soul Stealing Sword."    

"What rumor?" Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked.    

The Duke of Zi Jin thought for a while and said, "Just like the relationship between musical instruments and music scores, the Soul Seizing Sword also has a way to control it, but it seems to have been lost."    

"A method to control it? Lost?" Chen Xiao frowned.    

"Yes, it has been lost. There is a saying that it seems to be the first owner of the Soul Seizing Sword. After his death, the method of controlling the Soul Seizing Sword has been lost." The Duke of Purple Gold nodded his head.    

Chen Xiao's face darkened, and his mood became even lower.    

If what the Duke of Purple Gold said was true, then he would probably never be able to find a lost control technique in his entire life.    

Unfortunately, if he had this technique, the power of the Soul Seizing Sword would definitely increase greatly.    

However, he smiled bitterly when he thought about it. If he hadn't lost control of the Soul Seizing Sword, the treasure wouldn't have landed on him.    

One sip, one peck.    

"What a pity." Chen Xiao could not help but sigh.    

"That's right, what a pity. Otherwise, this treasure wouldn't have fallen into your hands." The Marquis Zi Jin teased.    

... "" Chen Xiao.    

The Duke of Purple Gold continued, "Although this treasure is incomplete, if it is used as a trump card at a critical moment, its power will be extraordinary. To you, it's not a loss."    

"Yes, I'll remember it." Chen Xiao nodded.    

The Duke of Zi Jin was right. The Soul Seizing Sword was a hidden move at the critical moment in order to catch others off guard.    

If it was used in a normal way, it would be a disadvantage.    

At this moment, the Duke of Zi Jin changed the topic and asked, "Chen Xiao."    

"Yes, Lord Zi Hou."    

"I know how talented you are. It is not easy for you to reach where you are today. I am afraid you have a lot of secrets, so I won't ask too many questions." The Duke of Purple Gold had a solemn expression as he spoke.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's heart shook. He knew that the Duke of Zi Jin's words were not false. He cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me."    

Without a doubt, the Duke of Purple Gold knew a lot more about the Immortal King's seat and the human race than he did.    

The Duke of Purple Gold's suggestion was very important on how to proceed in the future.    

"Okay." The Duke of Purple Gold nodded his head and said, "Do you know the nine forces of the God Realm Continent?"    

Chen Xiao nodded and replied, "I have heard of the nine great forces."    

"The so-called Nine Great Supernatural Powers are the nine strongest experts in the God Realm. They are all terrifying experts in the Boundless Realm, and their methods are unimaginable. At the same time, these nine experts created the Nine Great Forces and maintained the balance of the God Realm continent. If you want to advance further in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with these Nine Great Forces. This cannot be avoided." The Duke of Purple Gold said in a deep voice.    

"Mm."    

Chen Xiao nodded and understood.    

The legends regarding the nine great forces of the God Domain had been around for a long time and could not be considered a secret.    

However, in the past, Chen Xiao was just a rogue cultivator, and he was only in the Tribulation Realm. He did not have enough experience to come into contact with such a transcendent existence.
