Bzzz!
Very quickly, the old man handed over the arrow flickering with many colors to Xiao Chen. At this moment, the original black iron arrow had already undergone a great transformation. This was a qualitative transformation.
"Senior!" Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and received the black iron arrow. He was waiting for the old man's next words.
"Do you know how you can come here?" The old man did not answer Xiao Chen's question and instead asked him a question.
"I was on the Godking's Platform in Marquis Palace, but I don't know why, but after a moment of confusion, I appeared before senior," Xiao Chen answered honestly.
"Engraved the Dao," murmured the old man.
He raised his head to look at Xiao Chen and said, "Have you ever understood your own heart and found your own way?"
"I'm slow-witted. My heart is tied up, so I'm overcautious. I can't get rid of the haze in my heart," replied Xiao Chen.
"What do you think of the clansmen of my Imperial Heaven Tribe?"
Xiao Chen looked at the surrounding stone houses and caves. There were cultivators moving about busily among the ancient trees. Regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, they all had dense Qi and blood. They were either tempering their bodies or comprehending the mysteries.
"All of them have an extraordinary foundation."
Xiao Chen did not lie. Although there were not many cultivators in the Imperial Heaven Tribe, he had already become familiar with them over the years. Whether it was the strong, the children, or even the women, they all cultivated the Dao of Body Tempering. Their bodies were filled with vitality, and their lifespans were even much longer than cultivators of the same generation.
"Where does this foundation come from?" asked the old man again.
"It increases by training the body every day."
"How is it compared to the black iron arrow in your hand?"
"Compared to the black iron arrow?"
Xiao Chen was confused as he looked at the black iron arrow in his hand. It was currently half a foot long and radiated with an extremely powerful aura.
The old man didn't say anything. He handed a few more black iron arrows to Xiao Chen. However, some of these black iron arrows had yet to be polished, some had already been polished, and some had already been imbued with mysteries. In fact, the amount of mysteries imbued in each arrow varied.
However, the aura they emitted gradually grew stronger, and the one with the strongest aura was the one in Xiao Chen's hand. It had also been tempered by raging flames.
"The Dao is in your heart. It's not that there's a haze in your heart, it's that you haven't figured out what kind of realm you want to reach and what kind of strength you want to reach!"
At this moment, the old man's voice became solemn and the smile on his face disappeared.
The Dao is in the heart!
What was one's original intention? It was the level of strength one wanted to reach!
At this moment, Xiao Chen was pondering over the old man's words. Just what state did he want to reach?
When he first came to this land and blended into this desolate land, he heard many of his clansmen say that a great warrior of the Heavy Building Realm could allow a tribe to reproduce for a thousand years. He wanted to become a warrior of the Heavy Building Realm.
Later, when he advanced to the Heavenly Building Realm, he saw a wider land and knew that a supreme king could suppress millions of miles of land. Their mighty power could penetrate the Milky Way. He wanted to become a supreme king too.
All these years, he had been slowly climbing towards the Supreme King Realm.
However, after hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen pondered. Was supreme king the realm that he really wanted to reach?
He cultivated martial arts and tempered his battle body in order to obtain even greater strength. Supreme King was a realm that countless martial artists yearned for in their dreams. In truth, it was just a realm of martial arts, a title derived from reaching this level of martial arts.
If one wanted to reach this realm or such strength, one needed to constantly improve one's life level, temper one's physical body, and enhance one's battle qi realm.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was lost in thought, the old man didn't speak again. He also didn't polish the black iron arrow again. He just stared at Xiao Chen.
Goten Of Gojin!
This was a title that shook the past and dazzled the present. It was also a title that made the Hundred Races of the heavens gnash their teeth in hatred. This represented a legacy. The appearance of the Imperial Heavens gave the Hundred Races of the heavens a nightmare that they could not get rid of.
Even though Goten Of Gojin was no longer here, the title of Marquis's destiny inheritance that he perfected had been passed down from generation to generation in the Human Race.
The Emperor was a taboo in the heavens. It was a powerhouse that made a race invincible in an era. However, because of the appearance of Goten Of Gojin, this invincibility was almost broken.
Using the body of a king to fight against an emperor, this gave the human race an even stronger foundation. Although it wasn't enough to destroy all the races in the world, it gave the human race enough foundation to firmly occupy the entire Barren Land. Even if the other races continued to invade the Barren Land, they still couldn't return.
However, since the Emperor was called a taboo, it was enough to prove how mighty the Emperor was. A King defeating the Emperor was an act that defied the heavens.
In order to defy the heavens and defeat the Emperor, luck was one thing, but it also meant that the King's personal strength was extremely great. Only then would they have the ability to defy the heavens.
Just as Xiao Chen had guessed, the old man was Goten Of Gojin. When Xiao Chen stepped onto the Godking's Altar and comprehended the Dao, he activated the imprint left behind by Goten Of Gojin on the Godking's Altar.
"There is no limit to martial arts!"
Xiao Chen stood there and sank into deep thought again. After a few days, a bright light finally appeared in his eyes again, and he muttered to himself, "Heavenly Tribulation, Heavenly Tribulation.
"There is no limit to martial arts. If the Emperor is the end of the martial way, then how can the gods that appeared in the ancient past be explained even though they have disappeared? Just what kind of realm was that?"
A smile finally appeared on Xiao Chen's face. He carefully thought back to everything he had experienced in this strange spacetime.
From the moment he met the chief and the other three warriors, he sensed their aura, to the moment he saw a bunch of children, to the moment he sharpened his arrows for three years and lived together with the entire Immortal Heaven Tribe, it was as if everything that had happened before his eyes had been intentionally guided by the old man.
Including sharpening the arrows. The more mysteries were infused into the arrows made of ordinary iron, the more powerful the aura they gave off. However, this powerful aura would eventually reach the limit of the iron due to the amount of mysteries infused into the arrows.
Therefore, it was necessary to reforge the black iron arrow and raise its grade. This way, more mysteries could be infused into it. The black iron arrow was the carrier, and the mysteries infused into it was the way to increase one's strength.
This was the same principle as the cultivation of a cultivator. To increase one's battle strength, one had to continuously sharpen one's body. Only with a stronger battle body would one be able to bear greater strength.
"I have learned. There is no free lunch in this world. If you want to become stronger, you have to pay more." Xiao Chen bowed to the old man and said.
"Once you understand the way and the heart, you will naturally understand." The old man smiled when he saw Xiao Chen's expression.
"May I ask senior …?" Soon, Xiao Chen's voice sounded again.
"This old man is Immortal Heaven." The old man clearly understood Xiao Chen's thoughts and said with a smile.
Whoosh!
Even though Xiao Chen had already guessed it in his heart, he still found it hard to calm the agitation in his heart. The old man in front of him who looked extremely calm and peaceful was actually the Imperial God King whose name shook the hundred realms, a great person who once went against the Taboo Emperor.
"Senior, why is it like this? And why is this junior here?"
Xiao Chen's voice sounded. Facing the Goten Of Gojin, he knew that he was in a world created by the Goten Of Gojin.
But compared to the Goten Of Gojin, his strength was not even worth mentioning. It was like the difference between an ant and a giant dragon.
"I did not die in battle. I passed away in a seated posture."
The old man's voice was calm as he continued, "What you see is merely an image of the remnant soul I left on the Enlightenment Platform. As for why you are here, it is because you stepped onto the Enlightenment Platform and triggered the reaction of the remnant soul. Thus, you entered this space-time."
"As for passing away in a seated posture, everyone will eventually die of old age. Even emperors have their twilight years. As for the legendary Gods, although I do not know what kind of realm they are in, they have long disappeared in the passage of time."
"However, the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the Wheel of Life. Naturally, one will live longer. To be able to live for tens of thousands of years is equivalent to a different kind of longevity in the eyes of ordinary cultivators."
The old man's smile became even brighter and more peaceful. It was as if Xiao Chen, a cultivator who came from a later era, had rejuvenated the remnant soul he left behind.
"Senior, what is a Marquis and what is a Divine King?"
Facing the old man who perfected the path from Marquis to Divine King and opened up another path on the Dao of Luck, Xiao Chen naturally would not forget to ask for guidance.
"Marquis is just like the names of the Martial Dao Realm and the Martial Dao Realm such as the Legendary Realm and the King Realm. It is just a title that you have obtained when you have reached this level of Luck."
"Divine King is the advancement of a Marquis, just like how a cultivator advances from the Legendary Realm to the King Realm."
"However, that is the advancement of the Martial Dao Realm, while this is the advancement of Luck." The old man began to murmur to Xiao Chen.
Hum!
In the next moment, the old man made his move. He tapped Xiao Chen's forehead with his index finger. In an instant, a beam of purplish-gold light appeared in Xiao Chen's spiritual world. This light was made up of ancient characters. They were densely packed together and gave off an indescribably profound aura, appearing illusory and ethereal.
"This is …?"
There was a trace of shock in Xiao Chen's eyes. There were millions of words in the densely packed text, but Xiao Chen had only comprehended a trace of it and already understood what was in the glow.
This was actually the annotation of Marquis to the Divine King level that the old man had deduced. From Marquis all the way to the peak Divine King level, the old man had completely used and inherited it.
"This is the Luck Enhancement Method that this old man deduced back then. With the help of Luck, one can fight above their level and even defy the heavens and slay emperors!"
At this moment, in Xiao Chen's eyes, the old man was no longer so easygoing. Instead, he emitted a domineering aura. This aura could suppress the nine heavens and sweep through the universe!
