Chapter 7: Unexpected Discoveries, Tracking

Xiao Chen quickly regained his composure; the gaze of the Azure Dragon was clear and pure, like a spring, and it could not possibly emit that captivating and subjugating look.

Xiao Chen looked at the flickering flame that seemed ready to extinguish at any moment, and he couldn't help but smile wryly. This flame, let alone killing someone, would probably only be able to produce a wisp of smoke in his original world.

Qinglong, Qinglong martial soul, Xiao Chen suddenly recalled a distant memory within this body

The Eastern Azure Dragon, the Western White Tiger, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and the Northern Black Tortoise, the four great families each occupy a territory, with the Xiao family being the Eastern Azure Dragon among them. However, a thousand years ago, for reasons unknown, the Xiao family has not seen the appearance of the sacred beast, the Azure Dragon martial soul. The passage of a thousand years has transformed what was once a prestigious and noble family into a local family that can only reside in a small town.

Following the methods outlined in the Comprehensive Guide to Cultivation, this stream of vital energy converges towards the right hand, passing through the four major acupoints: Tianquan, Juggu, Quze, and Neiguan, ultimately gathering at the middle finger

Xiao Chen focused his mind and moved a little closer to the Azure Dragon, his consciousness almost touching the face of the Azure Dragon, allowing him to see it with utmost clarity. At that moment, the Azure Dragon's eyes suddenly opened, startling Xiao Chen. However, it seemed that the Azure Dragon did not notice Xiao Chen, and after a while, it closed its eyes again.

Suddenly, a series of crackling electric sparks illuminated his fingertips, flickering continuously. Eventually, all these electric flashes converged at Xiao Chen's fingertips, forming a purple flame the size of a peanut.

Xiao Chen tirelessly practiced summoning the Purple Thunder True Fire. After several hours of attempts, as soon as Xiao Chen focused his mind, the Purple Thunder flames would be summoned instantly

Xiao Chen shook his head, too lazy to ponder these matters. What he cared about now was that he had finally condensed his martial soul, allowing him to refine his vital energy and practice martial arts. In seven days, he might not necessarily lose to Xiao Jian.

But what is this Azure Dragon? He does not remember when a dragon entered his body. Could it be the martial soul? Has he successfully condensed his martial soul?

Staring in astonishment at all of this, after a while, Xiao Chen finally broke into an ecstatic smile. This flame is truly powerful; even a spark possesses such might. If he practices for a while longer, how immense would the destructive power be

Xiao Chen rose to his feet, activated the Purple Thunder Technique, and the azure dragon's eyes in his dantian suddenly opened wide, while the three white clouds floating beside it gradually thinned out

A figure flashed past above Xiao Chen's head from the large tree, swiftly darting towards the distance. Stopping his actions, Xiao Chen looked up, seeing a person dressed in blue, soaring between the treetops, and in the blink of an eye, they were out of Xiao Chen's line of sight

Completely restraining his own aura, relying solely on the strength of his body, Xiao Chen sprinted towards the direction in which that person had departed. The power of this body was extraordinarily strong; even without utilizing the internal energy, Xiao Chen's speed was astonishing, charging through the woods with great momentum

With a casual flick, he extinguished the flame. Xiao Chen was not particularly disheartened; the fact that the first experiment could be successful was already quite gratifying.

The figure in the blue attire and the * map * moved at an astonishing speed, having long since vanished from sight. Xiao Chen could only proceed in a general direction, and if luck were not on his side, he might never be able to find them.

Once again calming his mind, Xiao Chen checked the cultivation status of the Purple Thunder Technique. The previous frenzied operation of the Purple Thunder Technique still made him feel uneasy, as he did not wish to face the risk of exploding his body at any moment in the future

Watching the direction in which the person departed, Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow and take a look. A martial arts master of the highest level would never come to the Seven Peaks Mountain Range without reason

Pfft

Suddenly, a sound of someone breaking through the air came from behind, startling Xiao Chen. The Purple Thunder Technique immediately began to operate, and the Purple Thunder True Fire instantly gathered in his right hand, just as he was about to take action

Hoo!

However, he did not notice that in the action of extinguishing the flame just now, a tiny spark had not been extinguished and slowly drifted down to the ground. As soon as it landed, it ignited all the dry branches and leaves within half a meter around. The flames flickered and vanished; if it were not for the pile of ashes left behind and the lingering heat on his face, Xiao Chen would not have realized that a fire had just occurred here.

After walking for about half an hour, a faint whisper carried by the gentle breeze reached Xiao Chen's ears. Xiao Chen quickly halted his steps, focused intently to listen, and after discerning the direction of the sound, he proceeded forward again

For the time being, disregarding the Azure Dragon Martial Soul, the cultivation of the Purple Thunder Technique is the top priority for Xiao Chen. Just one night of practicing the Purple Thunder Technique has significantly increased his strength, and when he strikes, it is accompanied by electric sparks, which illustrates its formidable power.

The sound became increasingly clear as Xiao Chen jumped onto a large tree, finally seeing the person who was speaking. Approximately three hundred meters ahead, the man in blue was quietly discussing something with a group of people.

To his surprise, the Purple Thunder Decision is now operating extremely smoothly, and its realm has also made significant progress, having thoroughly stabilized at the first level of the primary realm

A long time ago, on the Tianwu Continent, there were four major sects. The leaders of these four sects possessed the bloodline of sacred beasts, and many of their family members were born with innate sacred martial souls. These individuals cultivated at a pace significantly faster than ordinary people, and the sacred beast martial souls possessed a level of spirituality that was far beyond that of ordinary martial souls.

When did a martial master in a blue robe appear in Mohe City? What is his purpose for coming to the Seven Peaks Mountain of the Xiao family? Xiao Chen thought with some confusion

This is not true flight; it is merely an illusion of flying created by skillfully using the footholds between the treetops and employing exceptional agility. Nevertheless, even so, this person's cultivation has at least reached the realm of Martial Honor.

It is mentioned in the Comprehensive Guide to Cultivation that after practicing the Purple Thunder Technique, one can refine the Purple Thunder True Fire. Since the realm of this Purple Thunder Technique has stabilized at the initial stage of the first layer, Xiao Chen decided to give it a try

A stream of pure and refined vital energy flowed from it into Xiao Chen's meridians. As Xiao Chen's mind stirred, he sensed this cool and comfortable vital energy, guiding this force to circulate within his body

Strangely, the group of people talking with the man in blue are from the Zhang family. The patterns embroidered on their clothing are precisely the emblem of the Zhang family, which is second only to the Xiao family in terms of strength in Mohe City. Their brown coats are embroidered with three white clouds on the chest
