Chapter 537: Chapter 10 Return the Sword [Request for Monthly Votes!]_1

In fact, the strongest aspect of the Sixth Princess is not her treasure sword, but rather, she has already cultivated Samadhi Divine Fire.

Although she doesn’t display it with as much extravagance as Empress Feng, on a stage of equal competition, this brief moment of divine fire is enough to be a killer weapon.

The next member of the imperial family to appear was the Thirteenth Prince. This prince, only sixteen years old, still had a youthful air about him. His clean, pure face held a pleasant smile, making him quite amiable.

The weapon in his hand was a golden-edge folding fan, which nicely matched his refined and courteous temperament.

This caused the Winter Cloud Temple’s second monk to slightly look down on him. Although their strongest senior brother had already lost, as long as they won two more matches, victory would still be theirs. But, compared to his sister, the Thirteenth Prince seemed to lack momentum.

In a strong desire to ensure victory, he didn’t maintain a conservative approach, like his senior brother. Instead, he launched a fierce attack at the start! With a leap, a fierce tiger’s illusion leapt from his back!

The eyes of the Thirteenth Prince also suddenly became sharp, and with a light snap of his left hand, a purple-gold spark suddenly erupted in the air.

He too had cultivated Samadhi Divine Fire!

Despite being endowed with Divine Fire Life, being able to cultivate Samadhi Divine Fire at his age indicated a startling talent, even within the imperial family.

Although this spark couldn’t do much, he opened his folding fan and gently waved it.

Boom—

From a spark to devouring flames engulfing everything!

The blaze suddenly intensified. The pouncing tiger could not evade in time and was instantly swallowed by the fireball!

"Ah—" The monk immediately let out a miserable scream.

Before the nearby guards could come to his aid, the Thirteenth Prince quickly stepped forward. With a flip of his fan, he immediately extinguished the divine fire.

Fortunately, it only burned for a moment, and the monk, although his clothes were charred and his skin was damaged, was not yet invaded by Samadhi Divine Fire. The Thirteenth prince extinguished the fire for him and then immediately infused him with True Qi to soothe his injuries.

"My apologies, I cannot hold back on top of the stage," he said gently, and left a small jar, "here is a bottle of treasure medicine for healing, it will help heal burn injuries, consider it an apology."

"The Thirteenth Prince is too courteous. It’s normal for injuries to occur in fights, there is no need for self-blame," the Winter Cloud Temple’s people approached to take the monk back and replied in kind.

Indeed, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of injured people that day. With his polite attitude, naturally, they felt no resentment.

"I’m glad if it is so. I hope this Taoist master recovers soon," the Thirteenth Prince gave a light salute before stepping off the stage.

With two victories in three matches, the imperial family’s team had won.

However, since opportunities at the Immortal Sect Conference were so rare and only occurred once every twelve years, the losing party could choose whether they wanted to play the third match. Many sects are willing to let their disciples go on stage for experience. Like the Xuanxin sect just now, they still decided to play the third match even after the victory or defeat was decided. Even if the opponent wins, they could reveal more of his moves.

However, this time, the Winter Cloud’s team chose not to play again, possibly fearing further losses because of the power of the Samadhi Divine Fire.

"Such a degree of Samadhi Divine Fire is so powerful, no wonder Empress Feng uncle is almost invincible in the Seventh Realm," said Ling Ao after watching.

He was studying body cultivation at Shu Mountain, naturally, he couldn’t avoid Empress Feng.

However, after studying, he found that Empress Feng’s Flaming Divine Phoenix Dharma Body could only be cultivated by her. The relentlessly surging Samadhi Divine Fire could only be refined by the paramount Divine Fire Life.

In short, her whole cultivation was two words, talent.

A very pure talent, without a hint of effort, and there was absolutely no reference value. Ling Ao gave up on that and instead began to look for other paths to cultivation.

Nonetheless, his words were indeed true. Without her Samadhi Divine Fire, Empress Feng’s previous cultivation would not have been considered top-tier in the Seventh Realm. But it was precisely because the divine fire was so terrifying that she could dominate the Seventh Realm.

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang inevitably had to look at Wang Xuanling again.

Why, after watching the competition for a day, did it seem to get harder as time went on?

Wang Xuanling merely sighed, "Alas!"

...

The first day of the competition ended with many spectators still wanting more. Like previous years, the first day of the Immortal Sect conference had the most crowded arena matches; it was naturally the most exciting to watch.

Throughout the day, many dark horses emerged and several unexpected incidentshappened.

One notable team from Yu Capital City that had quite a reputation was defeated by a small sect from some remote backwater village. This kind of thing happens in every competition and is gossiped about for the next twelve years.

After being a spectator all day, Chu Liang hurried back.

There was something that needed to be done today.

The massive explosion on the outskirts of Yu Capital City last night indeed triggered a lot of discussion. The conclusion given by the Regent Residence after their investigation was that there was a pair of male and female great thieves within the Sword Casting Sect.

These two thieves threw some magical artifact into the sword casting furnace of the Sword Casting Sect, causing a violent explosion. Sect Leader Zhang Bailian of the Sword Casting Sect was slightly injured, and his disciple Zhao Tietou was seriously injured. The Amidst this chaos, the pair of thieves stole a significant amount of precious materials and weapons from the sect. Their methods were extremely despicable.

The Sword Casting Sect couldn’t identify the thieves, making a warrant for their arrest impossible. Even after the Regent Residence’s personnel used the Bright Light Mirror Image to partially reconstruct the scene, they only saw two secretive black-robed figures.

The only conclusion was that these two were habitual offenders.

Of course, the period of the Annual Immortal Sect Conference was also when thieves were most rampant. The citizens of Yu City were used to it, particularly this time since what was stolen belonged to the sect and had nothing to do with them. The news of the explosion was quickly buried by the second day of the Immortal Sect Conference.

No one cared.

In a corner where no one paid attention, Chu Liang quietly entered the world-renowned restaurant.

The reason he didn’t walk through the main entrance was that he didn’t want people linking him with the matter. As for the difficulty of sneaking in... previously the restaurant had the most precious treasure knife stolen. Could they have improved their security after the knife was gone?

But after reaching the second floor, he no longer hid his tracks. Instead, upon bumping into one of Chef Xue’s disciples straight away, he asked to be taken to see Chef Xue.

As the disciple had seen Chu Liang accompany the Regent Residence before, he naturally didn’t delay and instantly informed Chef Xue.

When Chef Xue, the famous chef of Yu City, dragged his heavy and sorrowful body to meet Chu Liang, he almost knelt down when Chu Liang presented him with his lost treasure knife.

Chu Liang was somewhat worried about the floorboards and hurriedly stopped him.

"Chef Xue, there’s no need for formalities. I just happened to know some clues and tried to retrieve this knife. It was a piece of cake," Chu Liang hastily said.

"Young Hero Chu helping me find my treasure knife is a great kindness," Chef Xue expressed his great excitement. "I really don’t know how to repay you."

"There’s no need to think too much about repayment. I just have a fellow student who loves good food and we’ve been hearing about Chef Xue’s fine dining banquet for a while. If you could prepare a table for us, it would be more than enough," Chu Liang replied.

"That’s of course no problem," Chef Xue boasted. "I’ll instruct it immediately. From now on, whenever Young Hero Chu comes to my restaurant, I will prepare all the dishes personally, and everything is free for life! And any Shu Mountain disciples who visit my restaurant will have 50% off!"

"There’s no need to make such a big deal," Chu Liang hurriedly interjected. "I hope that the incident of me retrieving the One-of-a-kind Sword will not be revealed by Chef Xue. After all..."

Having said how he retrieved the sword earlier, Chef Xue instantly realized Chu Liang didn’t want to stir up trouble needlessly and immediately nodded in agreement: "Alright."

Then he broke into a grin, "I’ll instruct the disciples to prepare the ingredients now, and set up a top-notch fine dining banquet for Young Hero Chu!"
