Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Perhaps it was due to verbal provocation, or perhaps it was due to a significant increase in his own strength.

The Martial Saint of Canglan killed his senior brother in just ten moves. That's right. He killed his senior brother on the spot in just ten moves, wiping away all his humiliation. He swept away all his resentment, hatred, and past mental flaws, erasing them completely.

"Not bad, not bad, your strength has improved somewhat. It wasn't for nothing that I spent so much effort helping you improve your realm. If you couldn't even do this much, you would be utterly useless. However, it is indeed something to be happy about that you have made such progress. In this way, I can finally give my due to Her Majesty the Queen. After all, Her Majesty entrusted you with this task, and now you have completed the mission she assigned you. Now that your mission is complete and your realm has improved, it is time to return to the imperial city."

Zhao Shuang was quite pleased to see the Canglan Martial Saint reclaim the Burning Heaven Sword, and said with a smile. However, the Canglan Martial Saint frowned at Zhao Shuang's words and pressed for an answer:
"Are you also heading to the capital?"

"Isn't that obvious? I am the Heavenly King personally appointed by Her Majesty the Empress. Naturally, I must go to the Central Imperial City. Besides, it's been so long, I really should go and see it. You know, there are countless guys waiting for me in the Central Imperial City right now, waiting for my arrival, waiting to kill me. But their idea is pure fantasy. Killing me is simply impossible. Now that I've resolved the matter in the Northern Region, other matters have nothing to do with me anymore. Even if I wanted to resolve them, I couldn't. So now, naturally, I must return to the Central Imperial City. The trouble to come will come from the Central Imperial City. I hope Her Majesty the Empress can break through to the Divine Realm soon, so that the burden on my shoulders can be greatly reduced. I hope Her Majesty the Empress will not disappoint me and will break through to the Divine Realm as soon as possible."

Zhao Shuang's remarks drew displeasure from the Canglan Martial Saint and the other female saints. They naturally had complete faith in their Empress, but Zhao Shuang's words clearly showed a lack of confidence, which naturally displeased them. However, their dissatisfaction was temporary; deep down, they also felt immense gratitude towards Zhao Shuang.

If it weren't for Zhao Shuang, they might not even be alive. Now, not only have they survived, but their strength has also greatly increased, and they even possess the potential to become Great Sages or even Gods. Although the chance of becoming a God is not high, it still surpasses most Saints in the Kunlun Realm. It can even be said that they are definitely among the top ten Saints in the entire Kunlun Realm.

One can imagine what an incredible opportunity this is, provided they can grow up and succeed. Given their current situation, while they will receive focused training from the entire Kunlun Realm, they will also face endless dangers.

If they can overcome this obstacle, their strength will naturally increase greatly; if they fail, everything they have gained will be taken by others. Even Zhao Shuang cannot stop this, as he cannot protect them every moment. They have obtained this opportunity, but whether they can safeguard it depends on their individual abilities. Their innate chaotic physique and mastery of spacetime rules are enough to attract the attention of the gods.

Both innate chaotic physique and the rules of spacetime are things that can move the gods, especially the innate chaotic physique. While the rules of spacetime can be comprehended within the Heavenly Court, the probability of someone with an innate chaotic physique is extremely low. It's estimated that there are no more than ten individuals in the entire Heavenly Court whose physique can compare. This is what makes them so terrifying—they possess endless possibilities for the future. However, they lack in character and temperament and need much more refinement.

If one can successfully hone their skills, there is hope that they will become a deity in the future.

"Alright, I won't waste any more time. Let's hurry back to the central capital, or we'll be in trouble later."

Perhaps Zhao Shuang's mouth was like a jinx, for then a blood-red longsword appeared. It flew in from the distant horizon, crashing to the ground with a thunderous boom in an instant. The longsword was nowhere to be seen; instead, only an old man with gray hair was visible. This old man was also an undead vampire, for he had four large, blood-red wings on his back.

Sharp sword energy flowed around him, clearly indicating that he was a sword saint.

"The Sword Saint, one of the Sword Saints of the Undying Blood Clan, what brings you here? Are you here to die?"

One sentence made the old man's expression change slightly as he was about to speak. He wanted to make a move, but then he realized that it was not right. After all, he was only a Sword Saint and not a Saint King. Therefore, he was a little scared when facing Zhao Shuang and his group.

After all, apart from Zhang Ruoji and Zhao Shuang, everyone else present had basically reached the peak of the Saint realm. That is, the realm of the renowned Sword Saint. In other words, there were a bunch of beings at the level of the renowned Sword Saint here.

Especially in terms of physique, even ten such sword saints could not compare to any one of them, because they all have innate chaotic physiques, which are far beyond the reach of ordinary saints.

Therefore, Zhao Shuang's earlier statement, "You've come here to die," wasn't just arrogance. It was stating a fact. Upon realizing this, the Undying Blood Clan's Sword Saint tried to escape as quickly as possible, his hair practically standing on end. He never imagined he would be surrounded by so many Saints of the same rank. Of course, Zhao Shuang and the others hadn't yet launched their attack; this was his last chance to escape.

"Didn't you guys want to practice your skills? This guy is a good sparring partner. He's not bad, and you guys are all decent enough. Working together, you shouldn't have any problem killing him. Hurry up and go, or you won't get another chance like this."

Zhao Shuang wasn't surprised by the escape of the Undying Blood Clan Sword Saint, nor did he actively pursue him. Instead, he pointed to the female saints beside the Canglan Martial Saint and told them to chase after him. After all, these female saints were still lacking in experience and training, and this sword saint was a good choice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Faced with Zhao Shuang's instructions, the female saints did not hesitate and immediately agreed. To them, Zhao Shuang's order was only slightly different from the Empress's order, and they could also tell that Zhao Shuang was doing it for their own good. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have said it.

Moreover, this is indeed a good opportunity for experience, and if you miss it, it won't be easy to get it again in the future.

So, they happily agreed and set off as fast as they could to hunt down the Undying Blood Clan Sword Saint. "Let's wait here a little longer. With their strength, they should be back soon. After all, their long training hasn't been in vain. Killing that Undying Blood Clan Sword Saint is a small achievement. It's not like their long training was for nothing."

Zhao Shuang, who originally intended to leave immediately, decided to wait for the female saints for a while. After all, for the female saints, killing a sword saint of an undead blood clan was not too difficult.

It should be noted that they not only possess innate chaotic physiques, but also the holy source of a holy king within their bodies.

Although it was a split among several, it was enough to greatly enhance their strength, especially their physiques, which became so powerful that they were virtually invincible. It could be said that their innate chaotic physique, combined with their physical sainthood, was enough to place them among the top among saints of the same level.

If he hadn't failed to reach the fourth Supreme Realm, he would probably already be considered to have the highest and most perfect physique.

Even so, it can still be called a perfect physique, and it is much stronger than an ordinary perfect physique. After all, even a perfect physique is not as good as an innate chaotic physique.

This surpasses most perfect physiques, and while it is still somewhat different from the supreme perfect physique, the difference is not too great.

"Alright, let's wait for them a little longer. I still want to thank you this time. If it weren't for your help, it would have been impossible for them and me to reach our current level so quickly. Not to mention that you also greatly improved our physiques."

Although Canglan Martial Saint was very dissatisfied with Zhao Shuang's previous attitude and his calling him a fool, he was actually very grateful to Zhao Shuang.

"It just means you were lucky. It would have been the same for everyone else; there would have been no difference. So you just need to focus on your cultivation. I've already said before that the Kunlun Realm will face many troubles and tribulations in the future. Although I can help you improve your strength, that's only for now. Whether you can survive that tribulation in the future depends on your individual abilities and luck. If you're unlucky, you might really die without a burial place; if you're lucky, you'll still have your lives. That's all I can say."

"In short, everything depends on your own strength. What level you can reach depends entirely on yourselves. No one can help you with this, not even me."

Zhao Shuang's words immediately dampened the Canglan Martial Saint's initial joy, leaving him no choice but to nod silently and say nothing more, for he knew very well that what Zhao Shuang said was true.

"Alright, don't be upset anymore. Your physique has improved dramatically; it's a complete transformation for you. But remember one thing clearly: absolutely do not break through to the Saint King realm in the short term. Although breaking through to Saint King is easy for you now, you absolutely cannot break through, understand? Your not breaking through to Saint King now is a huge help to the entire Kunlun Realm. If you break through now, it won't benefit the Kunlun Realm at all. Wait until I let you break through to Saint King, then you can do so. At that time, you will provide the greatest help to the Kunlun Realm and allow it to..." You've weathered a crisis. This crisis will be immensely beneficial to you, the Kunlun Realm, and everyone else; I hope you won't miss it. As for what you should do now, first elevate your swordsmanship to the level of Sword Saint. You're only one step away from becoming a Sword Saint—Sword Seven. Sword Seven requires comprehending the principle of "no regrets after a strike," which demands sufficient life experience and understanding. Once a sword is unleashed, there should be no regrets. Whether you can comprehend this depends on your luck, but I hope you can do so as soon as possible. This is not just about adding a Sword Saint to the Kunlun Realm; it has other significance and effects. In short, it all depends on you.”

"Thank you. No wonder Her Majesty the Queen made us obey your orders; it seems you do know quite a lot."

With a complex expression, the Martial Saint of Canglan looked at Zhao Shuang and expressed his gratitude.

"That's unnecessary. Just don't be so foolish in the future. Don't worry about anything else. Now you need to focus on your cultivation. The important figures will take care of everything. All we need to do is cultivate diligently and raise our cultivation level as quickly as possible, but we must not break through to the Saint King realm. Otherwise, it will only bring harm and no benefit. Remember, the future holds infinite hope for you. Don't do anything you'll regret because of a moment of impulsiveness."

Zhao Shuang's words made Canglan Martial Saint's mood even more complicated. Just as the two were talking, the female saints who had gone to hunt down the Undying Blood Clan Sword Saint returned.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, he escaped. We didn't expect the Holy King of the Undying Blood Clan to intervene as well. That's why he was able to escape."

One of the female saints, looking guilty, said.

“I already sensed that the other party’s identity was not simple, so it’s normal for a Saint King level to make a move. So you don’t need to feel guilty. With your abilities, it’s already quite good that you were able to escape unscathed from a Saint King level Undying Blood Clan member. I won’t ask for too much, but as I said before, you shouldn’t break through to Saint King level for now, or you’ll be in trouble.”

Zhao Shuang's words cheered the female saints up a lot, but then they asked with puzzled expressions.

"Your Majesty, we believe it would be better to break through to the Saint King level. After all, our potential is almost at its limit. Even if we wanted to improve further, we couldn't. It would be better to break through to the Saint King level directly, which would also increase the strength of the entire Central Court."

"If you were to break through to the Saint King level now, it would be more harmful than beneficial to the entire Kunlun Realm. The reason I say this is because there will be a great war in the future. In this great war, if you break through to the Saint King level, you will not be qualified to participate. Instead, you will have to endure an even more brutal war, a war that could very well cost you your lives. But if you do not break through, you can participate in the war at the Saint level."
