Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak - Chapter 1: Heaven’s Blessing

Chapter 1- Heaven’s Blessing

In the deepest parts of the Black Ink Battlefield, two figures stood next to each other.

One of them was a man with an unparalleled appearance, enough to enchant even the coldest of beauties, melting their hearts at a mere glance.

Contrary to his godly appearance, his face was pale, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth as he looked at the man in front of him in hatred.

“Yang Kai, even if this King dies, I swear to hunt you down until the last of my soul is extinguished.” The handsome man roared in hatred. If it wasn’t for Yang Kai, how could he have fallen so low? The one who cultivated Dual Cultivation to its peak, being regarded as the perfect man within the 3000 worlds. An Open Heaven Rank Cultivator was in such a miserable state, who in the world could believe that?

And the reason for his miserable state? He was unfortunate enough to come across Yang Kai’s wife Shan Qing Luo who flirted with him just to make Yang Kai feel jealous, but ended up suffering some big losses. Was that his fault? And Yang Kai was unreasonable enough to directly attack him to take his life.

“Xiang Chen, stop talking nonsense. The moment you laid eyes on this King’s women, your end was inevitable. Just how many maidens have you corrupted through your vulgar Dual Cultivation Techniques? Do you have no shame even at the end of your life?” Yang Kai sneered, looking at Xiang Chen. To him, every breath Xiang Chen took was a direct slap to his face. How dare he have ideas about his women?

“Yang Kai, isn’t that too unreasonable?” Xiang Chen said, coughing up a mouthful of blood. With his inner world almost destroyed, he knew better than anyone that his time was about to end.

Alas, his dream of having all the beautiful women in this world will never come true.

“Enough of your nonsense. An evil Dual Cultivator like you is better dead. In the name of heavens, I shall clean you from the face of this world.” Yang Kai shook his head. “Not to mention that you know too much.” At the end of his words, there was no hatred or contempt in Yang Kai’s voice.

At his words, Xiang Chen’s eyes widened as he understood what Yang Kai was after.

Xiang Chen was alive since the era of Ten Great Antiquity Experts, even though he was just a mere 2nd Order Emperor back then, he lived knowing things about the Black Ink that even those 9th Rank Open Heaven Ancestors have no idea about.

He knew the nature of Black Ink and how it came into existence, yet he refused to help the Human Race against it, making him the most hated person within the Black Ink Battlefield. The only thing he was focused on was breaking through to the 9th Rank Open Heaven Stage. Even if he was from an era long forgotten, he was unable to do anything about the flaw in the Open Heaven Cultivation Method, forever remaining at the Peak of 8th Rank Open Heaven.

Just as he was able to create a method to ignore the flawed Open Heaven Cultivation Method, he was hunted down by Yang Kai.

As for why Yang Kai was hunting him down? He knew about the existence of his Soul Warming Lotus and all the Ancestors of Cave Heavens stated that Xiang Chen was not trustworthy enough to know about their potential weapon against Black Ink.

“You bastard. I swore an oath to never reveal anything about your Soul Warming Lotus, so why?” Xiang Chen growled at the feeling of humiliation. No matter what kind of a person he was, he wouldn’t stoop so low as to break an oath he made, never in a million years.

Looking at Yang Kai’s expression, Xiang Chen sighed. “Since there isn’t much time left, this King might as well thank you.”

“Thank me? Xiang Chen, have you finally gone insane?” Yang Kai sneered, he was sure of his victory right now.

“Who was the one that came up with the idea of sending Shan Qing Luo after me? That person must be well aware of my nature as a Dual Cultivator.” Xiang Chen said, wiping the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth before he licked his lips. “But this King must thank him, Shan Qing Luo was one of the finest women this King had tasted in his entire life.”

“You what?” Yang Kai frowned.

“Tell me, Yang Kai, ever since you started chasing me a few decades ago, did Shan Qing Luo have any intimate interactions with you?” Xiang Chen sneered, looking at the confusion and dread on Yang Kai’s face. “If you wished to seduce this King, you should have picked a better candidate. You just handed a perfectly fine woman that just happened to be your wife as a nice treat. She was so confident at first, but it didn’t take long for her to beg me to continue. I must say, Shan Qing Luo is quite wild in bed, wouldn’t you agree? Especially with her asking me to choke her.”

“XIANG CHEN, YOU BASTARD!” Yang Kai roared in anger and humiliation, what Xiang Chen said just now was too accurate for it to be a coincidence. Be it his interaction with Shan Qing Luo or her habits in bed, it was all too correct.

Just as Yang Kai’s words fell, a ray of light escaped his fist, charging toward Xiang Chen at unimaginable speed. It didn’t take long for it to rip both his body and Divine Soul to shreds.

“Yang Kai, even if this King dies, you will never be able to satisfy your woman.” Those were Xiang Chen’s last words that he said with a wide grin, making Yang Kai’s heart sink deeper. But little did anyone know, Xiang Chen died with nothing but regret in his heart.

‘To think I would be taken down by your inheritor, my friend. What a shame, I couldn’t even practice the method I created to ignore the Open Heaven restriction. At least my last battle with this guy was fun.’ Xiang Chen’s life flashed before his eyes while completely ignoring the humiliated and anger-filled expression on Yang Kai’s face.

That was his final thought. Or at least, it should’ve been.

.

In the darkness of the night, a young man was lying on his bed, sleeping peacefully. He was a handsome young man with long, black hair and well-formed features.

“So, I am not dead?” The young man muttered, getting up. He looked around, only to find himself in an unknown location. It was a fairly decent room for a mortal. But for someone of his stature, it was not even worth batting an eye.

‘I guess I was reborn after getting killed by Yang Kai, huh?’ Xiang Chen thought, his mind was too profound to be fazed by something like this. But there was one thing he was sure about.

He was sure that this wasn’t some kind of illusion. He clearly remembered both his Body and Divine Soul being destroyed by Yang Kai.

“This definitely is Heaven’s Blessing.” He muttered with a smile before sitting cross-legged as he closed his eyes, trying to meditate.

After about half an hour, Xiang Chen opened his eyes, heaving a deep sigh.

“What a weak world, there’s barely any Qi in the atmosphere. Can people even cultivate here?” He muttered, leaning against the wall.

‘The best one could cultivate here is the Second Order of Transcendent Realm.’

To someone like him, what was Transcendent Realm? Even an ant had more value to him than a mere Transcendent Realm cultivator.

“From the looks of it, this is most likely a Small World located in another weak World.” Xiang Chen muttered, wondering what he should do now.

Although he said all that about hunting Yang Kai down, he wasn’t an idiot who’d waste such a precious chance to live for revenge.

The strong prey on the weak, that’s what he believed in. If the opportunity for revenge arises, he’ll grab it. But he won’t run after Yang Kai like an idiot.

“Not to mention that my cultivation is that of a mere Tempered Body 9th Stage. My body feels so heavy that it’s almost annoying.” Xiang Chen muttered with a slight smile as he shook his head.

Who would’ve thought that an Open Heaven Rank Cultivator like him will need to start over from the very bottom? Not to mention that this world was even weaker than the worlds that he used to randomly create on whims.

“Right.” He said, moving his hand towards his trousers before pulling them down, revealing his sleeping dragon.

“It’s the same.” He sighed in relief. To a Dual Cultivator like him, his little brother was more important than any sort of Divine Treasure. Although someone of Xiang Chen’s level can freely change the size of his little brother, the original size still matters a lot for his pride as a male.

“I wonder what I should do in this life?” He wondered, but although he said that, his goal was already clear.

He was a Dual Cultivator. So isn’t it obvious that he’ll go around conquering beauties while raising his cultivation, trying to reach the peak of Martial Dao.

Just as he was thinking about it, some memories started appearing inside his head. It wasn’t surprising, he had already expected to gain the memories of the former host of this body.

The last thing he was worried about was getting his consciousness corroded by these memories. How can the memories of a mere mortal who has yet to even live a century affect him, who has lived for countless millions of years?

Xiang Chen closed his eyes, looking through the memories, trying to find out everything he could about this world.

‘So I am currently an Ordinary Disciple of the High Heaven Pavilion located in the

Great Han Dynasty? And this world’s peak cultivation is Immortal Ascension Boundary 9th Stage, huh.’ Xiang Chen thought, wondering how such a weak world survived until now. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds it and takes over it.

After he was done looking for information about the world, Xiang Chen decided to look for information regarding the person he was right now. No matter how weak this world was, he lacked the strength to survive in case something happened.

After looking through the memories, for the first time since he woke up, he was surprised. Wondering how could something like this have happened.

In his memories, he saw that even though he is only an Ordinary Disciple within the High Heaven Pavilion, his status was relatively high. That was thanks to his grandfather and big sister.

But that wasn’t the surprising part, since when was he someone who ran after status? The surprising part was something else.

He was awfully familiar with his big sister. As she was supposed to be Yang Kai’s first wife, Su Yan. But there was no mention of Yang Kai in his memories.

And she was here, with nothing but the cultivation of True Element 3rd Stage.

“Not only did I reincarnate, I somehow ended up in the past.” Xiang Chen muttered.

How very interesting.

A smile appeared on his face.

“If I am in the past, then what happened to the ‘Open Heaven Cultivator Xiang Chen’ who should be alive right now in the 3000 worlds? Two people of the same origin can’t exist at the same time, so maybe the original ‘me’ was removed from existence?” Xiang Chen muttered, wondering if he’ll face ‘himself’ one day. But since it wasn’t anything that required his concern right now, he decided to not think about it.

“I guess I can’t call myself Xiang Chen anymore since I am Su Mu.” He muttered as an incredible idea appeared inside his head.

‘Since I wasn’t able to practice that Secret Art I created in my past life, I could do it now.’ Su Mu thought. The Secret Art required one to start from the very bottom of cultivation. But he wasn’t sure about crippling his cultivation which took him thousands of years to practise a new Secret Art since he had made a lot of enemies during his journey. It was also the Secret Art he came up with to avoid the Open Heaven Rank restriction.

“But it should be fine now.” Su Mu said with a smile before sitting cross-legged.

‘First, I need to strengthen my foundation. This one is way too weak to handle what’s about to come.’ He thought.
