Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1164: In a Difficult Position

When Bing Xuejian and Fei Lengyi charged over and sensed the edge of the deep chasm, they stopped quickly.

Faced with the strange deep abyss, the two cautious half-step Martial Emperors chose to stop. They did not wish to experience that peculiar state of immobility again.

“What should we do?!”

Fei Lengyi looked at Bing Xuejian.

Bing Xuejian replied indifferently, “You have the jadeite. Go down and check out the bottom. If these two get away, we will really lose big and completely embarrass ourselves.”

“Get out of here! You already comprehended your sword soul to seventy percent. Combined with your will of ice, it is unparalleled. Why are you not going down first?” Fei Lengyi cursed.

The two argued with each other, but neither was willing to go first.

---

On the other hand, the situation of Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun, who were at the bottom of the deep chasm, was not that good.

Their bodies stuck to the ground. No matter what they tried, they could not move. The more critical issue was that the strange suction pulled on their internal organs, blood, flesh, and bones, continuously applying pressure on them.

If the two could not think of a solution soon, the pressure would crush their internal organs.

Then, they would die as sorry a death as possible.

At this critical moment, Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring, Don’t panic. This place is the real cultivation place of the Blood Sword Sovereign. The gravity here is one hundred times stronger. It will not be difficult for you to stand up slowly after getting used to it. Don’t scare yourself.

However, she continued after a while, Your physical body is stronger; there should not be any problems. However, that girl is a different story. It is hard to say whether she can last until her physical body adjusts to the environment here.

Xiao Chen, who just released his bated breath, could not help becoming anxious again after hearing that. He arduously turned his head to look at Yue Bingyun. Indeed, the white-haired Yue Bingyun’s face was filled with pain. Blood leaked out of a corner of her lips, and her complexion was ashen.

The originally aloof Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter no longer possessed any of the elegance that she displayed before.

Xiao Chen’s heart sank. He did not like owing people favors. If Yue Bingyun died here, he would feel guilty for life, forming a shadow in his heart that would be hard to erase.

What should I do?!

I need to stand up first. Otherwise, I can’t circulate my energy to treat my injuries and recover. If I am in my peak state, I can materialize the Azure Dragon Battle Armor. By then, I should be able to walk over to her. However, I need to stand up first.

Yue Bingyun felt muddleheaded. The intense pain knocked her for a loop, her consciousness fading in and out. She felt like she was really going to die this time.

With the pull of this gravity, her internal organs had ruptured, and blood leaked out. Soon, she would die from her internal organs being crushed.

The completely helpless Yue Bingyun already made her preparations to die in her semi-conscious state.

“Yue Bingyun, hold on for a while. Don’t die here. Give me one hour. One hour! You have to last for one hour!”

However, just at this moment, Yue Bingyun heard a loud shout. This shout was filled with anxiety, urgency, and a confidence that was undoubtable.

“Hold on! Wait for me for one hour. One hour later, I will come and save you!”

Yue Bingyun pried her eyes open after much difficulty to see Xiao Chen doing his best to stand up not far away. He was also staring at her.

The two’s gazes met. Xiao Chen squeezed out a smile. “Don’t be so useless. Don’t forget your identity. You are the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter, after all, a person of high standing. I, Xiao Chen, have been cursed by others all the while, and I’m not dead yet. You will not die here. Wait for me for one hour.”

Yue Bingyun was speechless. She wanted to say something but found that she could not. When her lips moved a little, they pulled on her injuries.

Xiao Chen knew that it was not convenient for Yue Bingyun to speak at this moment. However, she still needed someone to rouse her. If she really fell asleep, he would not be able to wake her up. So he quickly dissuaded her from speaking.

“Don’t say anything. Just listen to me!”

After saying that, Xiao Chen, who had been preparing for a while, clenched his fist and heavily punched the ground. His upper body rose, nearly allowing him to stand up.

However, the force was not enough. The gravity pulled him back down. His back crashed into the ground after soaring up.

The solid impact caused Xiao Chen to vomit a mouthful of blood. Ignoring his injuries, he made a somewhat self-mocking comment to Yue Bingyun. Then without even wiping away the blood on his lips, he continued to store up power, preparing for the next attempt.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Heavy, dull thuds rang out continuously in the space at the bottom of the deep chasm. Each sound represented one failure.

Even after failing several times, Xiao Chen still showed no intention of giving up. With each failure, he would look at Yue Bingyun and say something to her.

After making sure that Yue Bingyun did not fall asleep, he would prepare for the next attempt.

Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, could not keep watching this anymore. You idiot, stop trying. Be careful that instead of saving the other party, you end up killing yourself first.

Little Ao Jiao, stop saying that. She ended up in such a state because she tried to save me. If I just ignore her plight, I will feel guilty for life. I will be a man in vain.

Xiao Chen replied to Ao Jiao in his heart. Then, he continued his attempts. It felt like he had broken several ribs in his back.

However, each failure gave him plenty of experience, allowing him to grasp the technique for circulating his energy in this gravity.

Xiao Chen believed that as he became increasingly familiar with this technique, he would be able to accustom himself to this environment and stand up soon.

From the start to the end, he was unable to wipe off the blood on his lips, which made his delicate face look somewhat ugly and horrifying.

Now, Xiao Chen no longer had the temperament he displayed back at the Four Seas Hero Gathering, none of the unparalleled grace from that time.

However, this bloodied face he showed Yue Bingyun did not repulse her at all. Instead, she felt a strange pang in her heart. If she could speak, she would definitely call out to stop Xiao Chen. The intense pain that he suffered after every failure was unbearable to watch.

At some point in time, a tear flowed out of a corner of her eyes.

“Bang!”

There was another loud ‘bang’ as Xiao Chen dropped heavily to the ground again. However, he did not say anything to Yue Bingyun this time. He did not move at all as he lay on the ground.

Yue Bingyun’s heart sank. He was probably too severely injured and could not hold on anymore. The two of them were going to die here.

Just as she felt apprehensive and extremely worried, Xiao Chen, who had been silent, roared.

He clenched his fist tightly and pounded the ground yet again. His upper body soared up anew. When the gravity pulled him down once more, Vital Qi surged throughout his bones and his entire body, rushing endlessly like a river.

After the initial force was depleted, he mustered a follow-up. After failing for hundreds—thousands—of times, he had finally adjusted somewhat to the heavy gravity in this environment. Now, he could circulate his Vital Qi.

After getting off the ground, Xiao Chen flipped around and knelt on one knee on the ground. Then, he started panting heavily.

After a while, he looked up at Yue Bingyun. When he saw that she had not closed her eyes yet, he revealed a smile on his face. “One hour exactly. Don’t give up. I’m coming over now.”

From kneeling on one knee, Xiao Chen slowly stood up. Then, he staggered towards Yue Bingyun, dragging his feet step by step.

When he reached her side, he quickly took out some Medicinal Pills for treating wounds, which he had bought at the quasi-Emperor-level auction, from his Universe Ring and fed them to her.

Then, Xiao Chen slowly helped Yue Bingyun up. After being in this place for such a long time, she had somewhat gotten used to it already, so the process of helping her up was not too difficult.

Without a word, he struck her back with his palm, sending his Law Energy into her body.

This increased the rate at which the Medicinal Energy healed her injuries. At the same time, it helped her internal injuries recover.

As the King Grade Medicinal Pill slowly permeated Yue Bingyun’s body, her body recuperated quickly.

Xiao Chen was surprised to discover that Yue Bingyun had been circulating some Law Energy through some special pathway in her body all the while. However, a blood clot blocked up one segment of her meridians, preventing her Law Energy from flowing smoothly. Hence, her injuries had worsened.

This special pathway should be the Lunar Palace’s Profound Cultivation Technique, the Longevity Art. Xiao Chen immediately circulated his energy and dissolved the blood clot, opening up those meridians.

After that, the Longevity Art circulated quickly. Once it automatically completed one cycle, most of Yue Bingyun’s injuries miraculously healed.

Such recovery speed was somewhat incredible. The Longevity Art was really profound.

When Yue Bingyun’s condition had stabilized and Xiao Chen verified that the Longevity Art could sustain its circulation, he heaved a sigh of relief as he got her to lie down slowly.

After that, Xiao Chen placed a Medicinal Pill in his mouth and slowly treated his injuries.

There was not much commotion. Time passed quietly. One night later, the two had more or less recovered.

Now, their bodies were adjusted to this strange gravity. Although moving still took a lot of effort, standing up and walking around were not much of a problem.

Yue Bingyun opened her eyes. Her complexion was back to a healthy pink; she had regained her luster and splendor, her Holy Daughter temperament.

She sat up carefully and looked to the side right away. However, she did not see the person she wanted.

She immediately looked around in something of a panic. Only then did she discover Xiao Chen standing before a wall, concentrating on it.

When Xiao Chen heard the sounds coming from behind him, he quickly turned his head and saw that Yue Bingyun’s white hair had already reverted to glossy black. Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he smiled and said, “You are awake already?”

Yue Bingyun nodded and looked away from Xiao Chen’s back. She asked carefully, “How are the injuries on your back?”

Xiao Chen replied calmly, “They’ve healed already. I have a peak Sage Body and the Azure Dragon War Body. That little bit of injury is nothing to me.”

“How did you endure all that pain yesterday?”

After considering for a long time, Yue Bingyun finally decided to ask. When she thought about Xiao Chen’s actions yesterday, she still felt some fear. She simply could not understand how Xiao Chen had withstood it all.

Was it all for her?

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. “When I tempered my physical body in the past, I experienced even more pain than that. When I underwent my Lightning Tribulation, it was even worse. In comparison, yesterday’s pain is simply nothing to the pain I endured before.”

His answer stunned Yue Bingyun. What exactly had the famous, bright and neat Azure Dragon King, who was unparalleled in his generation, experienced in the past?
