"In modern times, quite a few Ancient Martial Artists have integrated into society, living within the broader social environment. Many of these forces even possess their own economic industries, leveraging technological advancements to obtain the resources they desire!"

"In this respect, they are somewhat similar to the Martial Arts World; societal development has prompted them to undergo appropriate changes!"

"However, ultimately, the foundation of the Ancient Martial Forces does not lie within the secular world; they remain secluded from society."

"Regardless of how times change, Ancient Martial Artists do not intervene, even if war breaks out; at most, they temporarily retreat, waiting for stability before reappearing."

"But there is an unwritten rule in the Ancient Martial World: Huaxia's territory must not be occupied by foreign races. If such a situation indeed occurs, they will take action and drive out the invaders!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen finally grasped a rough understanding of what the so-called Ancient Martial World and Ancient Martial Artists entail!

He hadn't expected that there exists such a group of people in this world!

To put it plainly, they are a community composed of Ancient Martial Forces that are one or even several levels higher than the Martial Arts World!

"By the way, old ghost, I've heard that there is a rule in the Ancient Martial World that prohibits affecting the stability and order of the secular world; otherwise, it would lead to attacks from other forces. Is that true?"

Su Chen asked.

"Your statement is both correct and incorrect. There is indeed such a rule, but the key lies in defining what constitutes affecting the stability and order of the secular world; there's an issue of extent here."

Gongsun Liang replied:

"Of course, sometimes this also serves as an excuse."

"However, if any Ancient Martial Force significantly affects the stability and order of the secular world, other forces will indeed unite to punish or even eliminate that force!"

After listening to Gongsun Liang's explanation, Su Chen nodded.

Indeed, even if Martial Artists intervene in the secular world, the impact is substantial, let alone the existence of the Ancient Martial World. A rule observed by everyone is very necessary!

Otherwise, the secular world would have already been divided among them!

"Old ghost, do you know about the Ximen Clan in the Ancient Martial World?"

Su Chen asked again.

"The Ximen Clan is a first-class force in the Ancient Martial World."

Gongsun Liang nodded and said:

"The forces in the Ancient Martial World are divided into three tiers based on strength: super first-class forces, first-class forces, and second-class forces!" No-t^e fr+om the ed%ito@r: A&lw-ay^s c@hec!k M-V#2L+E.MPY^R for c%orre^c^ti!o#n^s$..

"It seems this Ximen Clan is a rather powerful family in the Ancient Martial World!"

Su Chen thought to himself.

"Rascal, have you provoked the Ximen Clan?"

Gongsun Liang cast a sidelong glance at Su Chen and asked, considering how else he would ask such a question.

"They've provoked me."

Su Chen chuckled lightly.

"Do you want me to intervene...?"

"Old ghost, you forgot how you taught me since childhood—to solve my own problems!"

Su Chen interrupted, smiling, before Gongsun Liang could finish.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Gongsun Liang chuckled and clapped his hands:

"As expected of my pupil, the Ximen Clan is nothing to worry about!"

"Indeed, rest assured, I won't tarnish your title as Lingxiao Taoist."

Su Chen said, then glanced at Gongsun Liang with a playful smile:

"But, old ghost, it seems you're not particularly famous either!"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Liang was momentarily at a loss, but Su Chen pretended not to notice.

"By the way, old ghost, take a look at this token."

Su Chen flipped his wrist, and the token, black as ink and with mottled markings, appeared in his hand, which he then handed to Gongsun Liang.

He had absolute trust in Gongsun Liang.

Gongsun Liang examined the token for a while and then returned it to Su Chen:

"There's a prohibitive force contained within; this token might unlock a certain place or item and functions as a key."

"However, I don't know its specific purpose; these are just my speculations."

"Unlock a certain place or item?"

Su Chen muttered, holding the token. Upon seeing that Gongsun Liang could not provide more insight, he stored it in the Cangyue Ring.

"Old ghost, take a look at this sword."

Su Chen took out the Dragon-Slaying Sword and placed it on the table.

"Rascal, you really have a lot of items."

Gongsun Liang laughed as he picked up the sword and swiftly unsheathed it!

"Buzz!"

The Dragon-Slaying Sword immediately emitted a bright ringing sound, and a chilling gleam appeared!

"Good sword!"

Gongsun Liang's expression changed, and he exclaimed.

"Old ghost, is this a magic artifact?"

"Magic artifact?"

Gongsun Liang huffed in annoyance:

"This sword might exceed even the level of a spiritual artifact!"

"So formidable?!"

Su Chen was surprised by this revelation!

His reason for showing Gongsun Liang was because he always felt the sword's power seemed to surpass that of a simple magic artifact; it was merely an intuition!

He had initially thought it would at most be a spiritual artifact, but Gongsun Liang stated that the sword might even exceed that rank!

Su Chen knew that weapon grades are divided into mortal artifact, magic artifact, spiritual artifact, treasured weapon, and king artifact. Whether there are higher grades beyond these, or what they might be, he had no idea.

On previous visits, Su Chen hadn't brought the token and Dragon-Slaying Sword, so he couldn't ask about them.

Now, he had the Cangyue Ring to carry them, so he naturally asked Gongsun Liang.noveldrama

"What grade is this weapon?"

Su Chen hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, it's somewhat beyond my understanding."

Gongsun Liang shook his head and returned the Dragon-Slaying Sword to him, advising that the sword should not be casually displayed!

Su Chen nodded solemnly, a fact he had already realized.

Su Chen had asked most of his questions and began conversing casually with Gongsun Liang.

Before long, Xiao Xun woke up, but after she woke up, she washed her face and cultivated in her room.

Time unknowingly reached evening, and Su Chen had no choice but to start cooking again, with Xiao Xun having finished her training and joining him to lend a hand.

In the evening, after dinner, Su Chen took Xiao Xun for a walk nearby.

However, he was very surprised at how quickly Xiao Xun had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement; her speed was astonishing!

After the stroll, the two returned, as there wasn't much to see in the mountain area.

The next morning, Su Chen got up early to make breakfast, and after eating, he planned to return.

Xiao Xun and Da Huang accompanied him all the way down the mountain.

"Xiao Xun, train well on the mountain and be obedient."

Su Chen smiled and advised.

"Yes, I know, Brother Su."

Xiao Xun nodded obediently.

"Go back, Brother Su will leave now."

Su Chen smiled again, waved, and boarded the helicopter...

Soon, the loud roaring sound started, the helicopter slowly rose into the air, and Xiao Xun and Da Huang's shadows below became increasingly small...
