Eternal Saber-Chapter 381 - 94: Emperor Wu’s Sword Intent

Chen Tang’s expression turned serious and he said, "The words I said earlier were just nonsense. In the path of martial arts, there is no distinction of high or low, only the user is greater or lesser."

"For instance, the ’Tiger Subduing Fist’ is just an ordinary fist technique in the Divine Land. This set of fists also depends on whose hands it is in."

These words were not fabricated by Chen Tang to comfort Amaterasu Chizuru.

Even if someone obtains the true method of the ’Tiger Subduing Fist’, even during the era of Emperor Wu, no one had cultivated this fist technique to this extent before.

In other words, even Emperor Wu, at Chen Tang’s age, could not achieve this effect.

Chen Tang was able to unleash such terrifying power with the ’Tiger Subduing Fist’ because he had practiced boxing under Mountain Lord White Tiger and was aided by supplements like Earth Ginseng, Celestial Ginseng, and Monkey Wine, laying a solid foundation.

More importantly, before reaching the Entry Level, he had already opened the Mud Ball Palace and Entered the Divine State.

Therefore, he was able to cultivate the ’Tiger Subduing Fist’ to the level of the Divine Realm.

"Really?"

Amaterasu Chizuru’s eyes lit up, as if a spark of hope was reignited.

"Of course."

Chen Tang said, "If you were in the Divine Land, with your age and talent, you would be a leader among the younger generation."

Amaterasu Chizuru felt a bit happy and said, "But even when Murakumo Kyo and I teamed up and used our family secret techniques, we still couldn’t defeat you."

"Don’t compare yourself to me."

Chen Tang said casually, "We’re not on the same level."

Amaterasu Chizuru was discouraged once again.

She lowered her head slightly and thought for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to tentatively ask, "Mr. Murong, can I go to the Divine Land with you? I want to stay by your side and see how you cultivate."

"Rest assured, I won’t disturb you or be a burden. If there’s anything, just instruct me to do it."

"Too troublesome."

Chen Tang waved his hand to refuse and said, "Let’s part ways here. If we are fated, we will meet again in Jianghu."

With that said, Chen Tang cupped his hands to bid farewell and turned to walk toward the river where the sea boat was docked.

At this time, the black sea boat was ready to set sail and had taken in the gangplank.

For an Inner Qi Martial Artist, it was nothing big as anyone who knew a bit of Lightweight Skill could leap onto it.

However, Chen Tang practiced Horizontal Body Training, strengthening his internal organs, and there was no Inner Qi in his Dantian.

Currently, the only proper Lightweight Skill he had mastered was the ’Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique’.

Chen Tang arrived at the riverside, feeling embarrassed to ask the boat to dock again, had no choice but to jump into the river, swim to the sea boat below, adhere his hands to the exterior of the boat, and use the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique to climb toward the bow.

In the darkness, from a distance, he truly looked like a large, strong gecko.

"This Mr. Murong Haitang’s martial arts are quite powerful, but his Lightweight Skill is really indescribable..."

Amaterasu Chizuru blinked, showing a strange expression, feeling a sense of disillusionment.

Upon reaching the bow, Chen Tang sensed the gaze behind him and his face turned slightly red.

Without Inner Qi, there were times when it was a bit embarrassing, lacking the demeanor of a master.

Chen Tang sighed in his heart.

Choosing the Horizontal Training Method definitely had its pros and cons.

The advantage was, of course, a strong body and viscera, with enhanced resistance to attacks, abundant energy, and powerful bloodline.

The downside was his Lightweight Skill was too weak, unlike Ye Yushi’s technique, graceful like a startled swan, soaring like a dragon, it was very impressive.

Chen Tang’s Lightweight Skill was about using the power of his legs and feet, leveraging bursts like ’Tiger Leaping Gorge’, straightforward and bullish, without much variation.

If given a chance, he would try to cultivate Inner Qi in the future.

However, the prerequisite was to deal with the three forces in his Dantian first.

Before that, with a Vajra Relic occupying the Dantian, Inner Qi couldn’t settle.

Now, there were two additional forces, making it even harder for Inner Qi to find ground.

Even though this journey to Celestial Cauldron Continent was short, he gained a lot.

Of course, until now, Chen Tang still did not know what these two forces in his Dantian were for.

After leaving Celestial Cauldron Continent, he planned to take the opportunity to study them using Entering the Divine State.

Moreover, having just experienced a genius battle and then a life-threatening assassination, he felt the bottleneck of the Fifth Grade Extreme Realm was loosening.

With continued cultivation, it wouldn’t take long before he had the opportunity to step into the Fourth Grade!

After Chen Tang boarded the boat, Old Lu raised the anchor and set sail, heading downstream toward the Celestial Pot River’s estuary.

Chen Tang composed himself, first roaming around the boat with no discoveries before heading to the cargo hold.

No one saw where Ming Yue Wanderer and Ghostly Concealment Ah Li had gone.

But Chen Tang suspected they were already on the boat.

Moreover, they were waiting for him!

Reaching the cargo hold, the air was damp and no one was around, in a state of darkness.

"You’ve come."

Just as Chen Tang arrived at the cargo hold, a gentle voice suddenly came from a corner.

Immediately afterward, a figure emerged from the darkness, with flowing long hair, looking elegant and handsome, seemingly in his forties or fifties. Yet, his eyes inadvertently revealed a sense of vicissitudes, as if he had witnessed centuries of changes.

"Thank you, Elder Ming Yue, for your timely rescue."

Chen Tang bowed in salute.

"No need for formalities."

Ming Yue Wanderer nodded slightly.

Chen Tang asked, "Is Ah Li here too?"

"Ah Li?"

Ming Yue Wanderer was taken aback, then realized, and said, "You’re asking about the Mute Girl? She’s here."

As the words fell just not far behind Chen Tang, Ah Li’s figure emerged, silently standing to the side.

"I suppose you have many questions in your heart."

Ming Yue Wanderer smiled faintly and said, "However, I have a few questions I want to ask you first."

"Elder, please speak."

Chen Tang nodded.

Ming Yue Wanderer asked, "How is His Majesty?"

Chen Tang fell silent.

Some things he could tell, but he had promised Emperor Wu he wouldn’t disclose certain matters.

Even if this person before him might have been someone closest to Emperor Wu and wouldn’t harm him, Chen Tang couldn’t reveal Emperor Wu’s whereabouts or situation.

Moreover, he didn’t really understand the person before him; he only had some vague hypotheses in his mind that might not even be accurate.

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I don’t quite understand who Elder refers to as ’His Majesty’."

"Of course, it’s the emperor of the Wu Dynasty."

Ming Yue Wanderer said.

Chen Tang continued to feign ignorance while also testing Ming Yue Wanderer, saying, "I still don’t quite understand how Elder can tell I’m acquainted with Emperor Wu?"

"Dragon Capturing Technique."

Ming Yue Wanderer replied.

Chen Tang smiled and said, "From what I know, during Emperor Wu’s era, many knew the Dragon Capturing Technique, including the Four Great Immortal Slayers back then. Even Ah Li knows the Dragon Capturing Technique."

"Indeed."

Ming Yue Wanderer nodded, "Her Dragon Capturing Technique was taught by me." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Chen Tang’s heart skipped a beat, also confirming one of his speculations.

Ming Yue Wanderer shifted the topic, "But your Dragon Capturing Technique couldn’t possibly be taught by someone else. Moreover, your sword skill faintly contains a kind of Sword Intent, which is Emperor Wu’s Sword Intent!"

"Without the true teachings of His Majesty, it’s absolutely impossible to have this kind of Sword Intent."
