Chapter 505: The So-Called Martial Victory
The two old men before Chen Futu were, respectively, a white-robed elder named Xuanyuan Ning, the ancestor of Xuanyuan Rong's lineage, and a black-robed elder named Xuanyuan Nu.
The two are considered the top experts in Lizhou. Almost no one is stronger than them. If you insist on saying that there are rivals, it would be the three old monsters of Tianyang Academy and the few old immortals of the Ancient Palace. Of course, the Great Western Region also has its own strength, but other areas of the Great Western Region are not currently in conflict with the Central Plains, so there is no need to worry about them.
Chen Futu invited the two to the Imperial City Garden.
Xuanyuan Ning said with a smile, "What we have seen and heard on this trip has greatly shocked us. The Holy Emperor's governance of the world can be described as surpassing all previous dynasties. He can be called a great emperor of his generation."
"This junior is not worthy of being called the Human Emperor; I am far from it."
Chen Futu was aware of his own achievements.
He wasn't even worthy of being called the First Emperor, let alone the Human Emperor; the title of Heavenly Khan was simply fabricated and artificially created.
Next, Xuanyuan Nu explained the purpose of his trip and the situation in the desert.
Zhang Sanfeng took their place in guarding the sand pit. The two old men, sensing their days were numbered, came to the Central Plains to test the old demon who had emerged from the ancestral temple.
Chen Futu's expression darkened. "Senior, do you mean now is the opportunity to kill him?"
"I've heard that the Ancient Palace has captured quite a few martial artists recently, probably to feed that monster. That guy's strength probably hasn't recovered yet, so now is the perfect opportunity to kill him."
“Senior, there are probably powerful figures inside the ancient hall who are no weaker than you two. What if they attack us all at once? Wouldn’t that be dangerous?” Chen Futu had a good impression of the two old men and didn’t want them to die in vain.
Xuanyuan Ning laughed and said, "The ancient palace does indeed have a profound foundation, but if we don't take action now and give them time to recover, what will the Holy Emperor do in the future?"
"Ah this..."
Chen Futu had to admit that he had underestimated the foundation of the ancient palace. Both of these old men were Martial Saints, so the ancient palace must also have Martial Saints in charge, or even more than one. Even if the Great Xia went all out, could Xiaobai and Li Yuanba defeat a Martial Saint?
In summary, the Great Xia is already quite capable of protecting itself; its only remaining strength lies in the possibility of creating an ancestor from the clay.
"Your Majesty, I will now explain the division of cultivation realms to you."
Xuanyuan Ning realized that the Holy Emperor was not very clear about the combat strength levels of the high-level personnel.
Chen Futu was delighted upon hearing this, and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"The Cloud-Piercing Realm is still the Martial Venerable Realm, and in orthodox martial arts, it is called the Great Venerable."
"The Great One..."
Chen Futu suddenly realized why something felt off. All his previous realms started with the character "Martial," so the sudden appearance of the "Soaring Cloud Realm" was definitely suspicious.
"There are differences even among sages, and each step has a huge gap, as if it spans a great realm."
"For example?" Chen Futu asked with a strong thirst for knowledge.
"For example, in the sacred realm there are saints, saint kings, great saints and ancient saints."
"Who are you two?"
"Your Majesty, there's no need to ask so clearly. In short, the reason we dared to come is because we have the confidence to force out that demon."
Xuanyuan Ning did not explain the Saint realm so clearly. Chen Futu is not yet a Great Venerable, so asking more questions would be useless.
The two then discussed the issue of cultivation techniques, emphasizing that more powerful techniques are not necessarily better.
A Martial King practicing the Emperor's Law cannot unleash its full power because it involves the laws of martial arts; therefore, a Martial King can only use the tip of the iceberg at most.
Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Futu was petrified on the spot.
No wonder, he has Emperor-level techniques with system upgrades, especially the Great Grade Heavenly Sword Technique, but when he uses it, he always feels that the power is not strong enough and it is completely unworthy of the name of Emperor's Technique. It turns out that his cultivation level is too far behind!
This is like someone holding a high-tech weapon but only treating it as a lump of iron or selling it as scrap metal, having no idea how to control it.
Chen Futu gave a wry smile three times and asked, "Seniors, do you know what realm Zhang Sanfeng is at?"
The two old men's faces stiffened, and they said strangely, "You should ask that. I don't know where you found this old fellow. His cultivation level is almost the same as ours."
"really?"
Chen Futu was both surprised and delighted, never expecting that Old Zhang had actually reached the Saint Realm!
As expected of a top-tier character in martial arts novels, he remains fearless even when he travels to other martial arts worlds!
Taking advantage of the time, Chen Futu sent his shadow guards to summon Xiaobai from Baiyujing.
Little White, munching on the lollipop Chen Futu gave him, tilted his big head to observe the two old men and exclaimed, "They look so powerful!"
When the two old men saw her, they stood up in surprise and then circled around her. "No wonder that little bastard Xuanyuan Lie didn't go back. He really has a good disciple."
Chen Futu asked seriously, "Seniors, how strong is this girl?"
"Currently, her strength is roughly at the level of a Great Venerable, but we cannot see the cultivation level sealed by the Holy Emperor. It is estimated that after the seal is broken, her physical body will have at least the combat power of an early Saint."
"An early stage of sainthood, just as I expected, but unfortunately he can only stumble around aimlessly."
Chen Futu stared at Xiaobai resentfully. Xiaobai scratched its little head, stuck out its tongue, and then quickly climbed onto Chen Futu's back, making faces at the two old men.
The two old men laughed heartily, “The Holy Emperor’s support base is quite sufficient. No wonder the Ancient Palace was defeated in Xindu and dared not make a move again. They are trying to buy time and wait for a full-force attack to completely dominate the Central Plains.”
"How about Xiaobai, Yuanba, and I accompany the two seniors?"
Chen Futu offered a suggestion, mainly to prevent the two from not being able to return.
Their expressions immediately turned serious. "No need. This mere ancient palace can't hold the two of us. Besides, we should stretch our legs a bit, lest the world think that the Sand Sea is afraid to confront the ancient palace. On this trip, we must injure that old demon and delay his recovery. I believe His Majesty the Holy Emperor has been in seclusion for a breakthrough recently, so he should have a way to stop the ancient palace, right?"
Chen Futu smiled and said, "I do have some ideas. Now that I've heard the two seniors' explanations about realms, my thinking is clearer. If I have some time to break through to the Great Venerable realm, my chances of defeating the Ancient Palace will increase. Of course, if the two seniors can kill a few more people, it will be even more of a problem."
"In that case, we will not disturb you any longer and will set off for the ancient temple."
After the two finished speaking, they got up to take their leave. Before leaving, Xuan Yuan Ning suddenly tossed a scroll of cultivation technique over and said, "Boy, this technique is more suitable for you right now. Also, if you ever conquer the world, I hope you will take good care of my clan. And Rongrong, that girl, she is stubborn, please take good care of her for us."
“This is a promise that I, as a junior, should keep,” Chen Futu replied solemnly as he received the cultivation manual.
"That's good, that's good."
The two laughed loudly and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chen Futu stared at the spot where the two had disappeared, and suddenly had a bad feeling. Weren't they going to fight? But the way the two old men were talking made it sound more like they were entrusting their son to someone.
