Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1403

Chapter 1403 (Raw 1394): Obtaining the Throne
Xiao Chen remained silent for three seconds before asking, "Have you thought this through?"
The Jadeite Sovereign smiled and said, "I should be the one asking you that. The Blood Demon Monarch is not one to give up easily. Among the eighteen Demon Monarchs, the top nine are all as strong as Primes. The Blood Demon Monarch is ranked eighth."
Right now, the Destruction Throne was already a problem. Due to his status, the Cyclic Astral Lord could not make a move on the Jadeite Sovereign.
However, the Blood Demon Monarch did not have such constraints. This time, he could send two Seventh Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperors. Next time, he might even come over personally.
The Jadeite Sovereign now wanted to toss this problem to Xiao Chen. It was not exactly a good thing, so Xiao Chen had to consider carefully.
"I'm not afraid. The Destruction Throne is very important to me. This is an opportunity that delivered itself to me. No matter how problematic it is, I have to accept it," Xiao Chen said confidently from the throne.
The Jadeite Sovereign relaxed and said, "Good. In that case, wait for me for three days. Three days later, I will have separated the Destruction Throne from the Jadeite Pavilion."
Xiao Chen mentally calculated the time. The Saber Dao tea party was happening four days later. He had enough time to wait for three days.
The Jadeite Sovereign waved his hand. After a moment, two servants descended.
"Send out orders. Jadeite Relay Station needs to undergo maintenance for three days. For these three days, no one is allowed to remain at Jadeite Relay Station."
"Orders received!"
The two old servants did not say anything more. They directly soared away to carry out the Jadeite Sovereign's orders.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat shocked. He had not expected the implications to be so extensive. He wondered what the impact of chasing away all the visitors would be.
Seeing the somewhat confused look on Xiao Chen's face, the Jadeite Sovereign explained, "I did not lie earlier. This Jadeite Pavilion is indeed connected to the formations of the entire relay station. The process of separation will cause a rather large commotion, so I need to chase the others away."
Xiao Chen nodded in understanding. He could afford to wait for three days.
The black throne transformed and took on its war chariot form. Then, he closed his eyes and started to cultivate. Three days was merely the blink of an eye for him.
While Xiao Chen passed his time leisurely, the cultivators on the relay station complained grudgingly.
This was especially so for those bladesmen preparing to use the transportation formation on the Jadeite Relay Station to head to the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor. These people started cursing.
Now that they could not use the transportation formation here, they had to go the long way around. They needed to use other relay stations before they could reach the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor, wasting their time and energy.
The two old servants spent most of the day placating everyone before they managed to settle the issue by agreeing to compensate for travel fees.
After sending away the difficult bladesmen, the other merchants and cultivators were easier to handle. These people did not have any urgent matters and generally had some friendship with the Jadeite Sovereign.
Only after everyone left did the Jadeite Sovereign started the separation.
It was not difficult to take the Destruction Throne out of the Jadeite Pavilion. However, it was heart-wrenching.
Before the Jadeite Sovereign advanced to Martial Emperor, this Jadeite Pavilion was already his weapon. After several hundred years of affection, it was not something that could be excised from his life at will.
As the Jadeite Sovereign stared at the Jadeite Pavilion in his hand, he remained silent for a long time. He thought back to when he was still in high and vigorous spirits, contesting with various outstanding talents.
Every cultivator had their own pride in their heart. The Jadeite Sovereign was no exception, either.
If not for the Jadeite Sovereign's lover dying as a result of a grudge, the Kunlun Realm might have had another Prime.
"You can't bear to?"
At some point in time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes in the war chariot.
"Back then, we refined this Jadeite Pavilion together. The Destruction Throne was also something I found when I went adventuring with her…"
A reminiscing expression appeared in the Jadeite Sovereign's eyes. There was joy, bliss, but even more so, grief.
Xiao Chen felt moved, recalling some of the past he shared with the Lunar Shadow Saber, as well as the lover whom he buried deep in his memories.
"Shadowless Saber Sovereign, it looks like you are someone with a story as well. You appeared three years ago, but I do not believe that someone with such skills in Saber Techniques would be unknown before this golden age. You should be someone I've seen before," the Jadeite Sovereign said when he noticed that Xiao Chen, in the war chariot, suddenly stopped speaking.
"It's not important whether you've seen me before. Everyone in the world has their own story; everyone is unique. It is just like you and me, and everyone else."
Xiao Chen was not willing to linger on the topic of his identity, so he closed his eyes and stopped speaking.
The Jadeite Sovereign released a flash of jadeite light from his hand. A bright light shone, and the exquisite Jadeite Pavilion started to disintegrate slowly.
"Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!"
The motes of light that resulted from the disintegration fell like rain giving off jadeite light.
The jadeite rain, the black Cycle War Chariot, the Jadeite Pavilion in the Jadeite Sovereign's hand, and the reminiscing Jadeite Sovereign, all combined at Jadeite Lake to form a magnificent scene.
Time passed quickly. Two days later, the jadeite rain did not look like it was going to stop.

At this moment, all the famous bladesmen in this golden age arrived one after another at the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor.
Strictly speaking, the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor was also a starry heaven relay station.
However, it was a private location that was not normally open to the public. It was a business location belonging to the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian's clan and was famous throughout the Kunlun Realm for forging sabers, especially due to the Saber Washing Pool. Rumor said that even the most ordinary saber would become a famed sharp saber after one round of washing; it was extremely mysterious.
The entire Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor put together was more than three times the size of the Jadeite Relay Station. It was like a huge astral city.
Surrounding the mountain manor were many astral arenas, which were modified from hundreds of relay stations. Even if Martial Emperors fought in them, they would be able to hold up.
Inside the mountain manor, Wen Ziran was currently checking a name list. Most of the names on the list were crossed out. Once a bladesman arrived, their name would be crossed out.
Now, there were only two more days until the official start of the Saber Dao tea party. Most of the guests that should be coming had already arrived.
The new-generation ten great bladesmen of the Kunlun Realm's five races in this golden age were all here already. These ten all rose up during the golden age, and they were younger than one hundred years old. They were also Fourth Heaven Martial Emperors at the very least.
In comparison to the two-thousand-year lifespan that a Martial Emperor possessed, these people could be considered to be in their prime. They were all here for the sake of becoming the next-generation Saber Sovereign. No one was willing to acknowledge themselves weaker than another.
For example, the Ghost Race's Zhao Feng, a Fourth Heaven Martial Emperor who merged the Saber Dao and Ghost Dao. His Ghostly Saber Technique had even killed a Sixth Heaven Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor.
[TL Note: This should be a different Zhao Feng from Chapter 1169, which should be quite clear, as they are of different races.]
There was also Xing Feng of the Corpse Race. He was an outstanding bladesman talent of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's clan. His Saber Techniques were grand and covered a large scale. He was even known as the strongest in the hard style.
There was also the Tianwu Domain's Feng Xingsheng. This person became famous at a young age. Now, he was second only to Bai Wuxue in the Water Moon Alliance and was also known as the top bladesman of the Tianwu Domain.
Aside from these ten great bladesmen of the new generation, there were many more bladesmen who were more low-profile, their movements more secretive. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign was one of them.
However, most of these low-profile but strong bladesmen were here already. The only one missing was the Shadowless Saber Sovereign.
Wen Ziran frowned slightly. "There are two more days until the start. Could it be that he is not coming?"
This was the first Saber Dao tea party of the golden age. Most people arrived at least one week in advance. The reason would be clear just by looking at the bustle of the astral arenas in the past two days.
Most of them were here for the title of the next-generation Saber Sovereign. They definitely had to test each other out first.
"Never mind. If he does not come, then so be it," Wen Ziran said with some disappointment. He came specially to peruse this name list for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign.
In reality, Wen Ziran really misunderstood Xiao Chen. If not for the Destruction Throne's matter, he would definitely have arrived early.

Three days had passed since the Jadeite Sovereign started separating the Destruction Throne at the Jadeite Relay Station. Now, he finally finished and removed his Spiritual Mark.
Xiao Chen looked at the Destruction Throne in his palm. A rare smile appeared on his face; he finally gathered all seven thrones today.
Counting from when Xiao Chen obtained the Massacre Throne in the Sky Dome Realm until now, it had been a long time.
Back then, Martial Sages were like gods to him. Now, he did not fear even a Seventh Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor.
Xiao Chen put away the Destruction Throne and said, "Many thanks. I owe you a favor. I'll have to leave to participate in the Saber Dao tea party now."
There was only one day remaining. If Xiao Chen still did not leave, he would not be able to make it.
"Go from here? I'm afraid you won't be able to. The Jadeite Pavilion needs to be re-refined before its transportation formation's function can recover," the Jadeite Sovereign said somewhat helplessly.
Inside the Cycle War Chariot, Xiao Chen was startled. What was he going to do? Could it be that he could not make it?
