This was the tenth year.
Two major events occurred in the Azure Sky Sword Sea.
First, the Supreme - species Three - thousand - Flame - Feather Crow challenged the Great Emperor seedling Imperial Capital to a sparring match on the arena, which could be considered a semi - life - and - death battle.
Previously, Scarlet Feather was under the Imperial Capital. Now, openly challenging the Imperial Capital was equivalent to a rebellious act, making other reserve disciples wonder what had happened.
Some curious people looked into it and knew that Scarlet Feather had gone to see Chen Xia once before. After coming back, he was not quite right and kept muttering something every day.
"Are those in high positions born with a noble nature? I will achieve the Emperor's road and be invincible in the world..."
He seemed a bit obsessed.
No one could say for sure.
Now he actually dared to openly challenge the Great Emperor seedling Imperial Capital. Then there could only be two results.
Scarlet Feather had truly understood.
And...
Scarlet Feather had finally gone crazy.
The time for their battle was ten years later, on the Cangshan Arena. It was a semi - life - and - death battle. As long as they didn't kill each other, they could fight as they liked.
Although this event was a big deal, compared to the second event, it was still just an appetizer.
The second event shook the entire star field.
A quasi - emperor - level strongman directly crossed thousands of galaxies and used great supernatural powers to test the Azure Sky Sword Sea.
The reclusive Ancestor Elder of the Azure Sky Sword Sea, who had been hidden from the world for thousands of years, took action and barely withstood the quasi - emperor - level supernatural power. He angrily shouted.
"White Emperor, aren't you afraid that the Great Emperor of my Azure Sky Sword Sea will wake up?!"
An ancient aura came from the galaxy, carrying the will to obliterate the stars, and spat out a sentence that shook the entire Azure Sky Sword Sea.
"Let Sword Venerable Great Emperor come out and talk to me in person."
As soon as this sentence was spread, an incomparable sword intent burst out in the entire sword sea. A sword spanning the heaven and earth suddenly slashed out. The sword qi illuminated the entire star field and destroyed the dead stars along the way.
The White Emperor retreated outside thousands of galaxies, leaving behind a loud laugh.
"You won't survive this great era. Hurry up and find your life - extending medicine!"
This was a major event that shocked the entire star field.
It also made the old fisherman keep gnashing his teeth, extremely angry in his heart.
If the Azure Sky Sword Sea returned to its peak period of having two Great Emperors in one sect, how could it be so bullied by a quasi - emperor?
He paced back and forth in the main hall, feeling indignant in his heart.
"How are the preparations for the elixir of immortality?" A voice sounded in the main hall. A hunched - over old man stood on a high place and asked softly.
The old fisherman quickly clasped his fists and said, "Ancestor, the medicine seed has been found, but it has not yet matured. Only when he reaches the quasi - saint level and starts his own Emperor's road can it be harvested."
The old man nodded slightly. His hand, which was as old as tree bark, stretched out and made a light calculation by pinching his fingers.
"The next great era is coming soon, and I'm afraid it will be earlier. The elixir of immortality must be prepared quickly. Otherwise, if my Azure Sky Sword Sect doesn't have a Great Emperor in charge, I'm afraid it will face a reckoning!"
Hearing the word "reckoning", the old fisherman's body trembled, and a tremor flashed in his eyes. He quickly nodded and said, "I will definitely refine the elixir of immortality!"
As long as Sword Venerable Great Emperor could be resurrected, sacrificing Chen Xia, a quasi - saint who was about to start his Emperor's road, was nothing at all.
After all, there are many Great Emperor seedlings, but very few Great Emperors.
Since ancient times, there have been too many Great Emperor seedlings who have set foot on the Emperor's road, but the number of Great Emperors who can really fight their way out on this road is pitifully small.
Not to mention exchanging Chen Xia's life for the Azure Sky Sword Sea to have a two - lifetime Great Emperor!
It was worth it, very worth it!
- - - - - -
This was the fifteenth year.
Chen Xia maintained the good habit of cutting off twenty years of the old fisherman's lifespan every five years.
He had given the old fisherman the chance to part on good terms, that is, to say that he wanted to leave the Azure Sky Sword Sea and go out to find the "senior brother" mentioned by the old fisherman.
But the old fisherman didn't agree and wanted to force Chen Xia to stay in the Azure Sky Sword Sea to be used as the life - extending medicine for the human Great Emperor in the sword sea.
Then Chen Xia couldn't be blamed for cutting off the old fisherman's lifespan once every five years.
If you want to use me to make medicine, then I'll speed up your lifespan.
Everyone should be polite and not "treat" each other "unfairly".

In the sixteenth year.
There was a knock on the door outside Chen Xia's cave. A friendly voice came.
"Brother, open the door. It's me, Dahuang."
Chen Xia got up lazily and slowly walked over and opened the door of the cave. He saw the big yellow dog standing outside the door with a flattering smile on its face.
"What do you want?" Chen Xia asked in confusion.
"Brother, since the day I saw you, I have been unable to extricate myself. My mind is full of your handsome figure. I have been thinking about you for many years, and now I have the courage to express my feelings."
When the big yellow dog said this, it was still posturing beside.
What a bootlicker?
Chen Xia was stunned for a while, frowning and said, "What on earth are you here for?"
"Well... that petal..." The big yellow dog stammered, "Can... can you give me some more?"
"Is it delicious?" Chen Xia asked.
The big yellow dog quickly nodded, "Delicious. It seems to have nourished my divine soul, like being in a beautiful dream."
"Do you have any uncomfortable feelings?" Chen Xia asked again.
The big yellow dog thought carefully and shook its head, "No."
Chen Xia was a little relieved and called the big yellow dog into the cave.
The big yellow dog quickly lifted its paw and wiped it carefully. Then it straightened its back and walked solemnly into the cave.
Quite polite.
Chen Xia pointed at the white jade futon and smiled, "I don't know if this futon is suitable for my butt. Can you try it for me?"
The big yellow dog had a solemn expression and nodded, "It's my duty!"
It directly sat on it and began to meditate.
In the cave.
There was the strange sight of a person watching a dog meditate.

In the twentieth year.
The arena battle between Scarlet Feather and the Imperial Capital officially began. The two met on the Azure Sky Arena on the flying sword and started the semi - life - and - death mode.
In this way, the arena would preserve the life of the loser. At most, the loser would be half - dead, so it was called a semi - life - and - death battle.
There were many reserve disciples watching. Almost all those who could come came.
Including Chen Xia.
The battle between the Supreme - species and the Great Emperor seedling naturally had many highlights.
Especially the battle between Scarlet Feather and the Imperial Capital. Although most people thought that the Imperial Capital would win, there were also a few who were optimistic about Scarlet Feather.
After all, he was the Supreme - species Three - thousand - Flame - Feather Crow, already infinitely close to the Mythical - species, and the Mythical - species was not inferior to the Great Emperor seedlings.
The battle between the two soon began.
A terrifying divine light shone in Scarlet Feather's eyes. All his feathers rose, and the three - thousand - flame - feathers that could burn the void were raised. He roared.
"Are those in high positions born with a noble nature?!"
Since Chen Xia told him this sentence, Scarlet Feather had become more and more abnormal.
And the culprit was now standing under the stage, side by side with the big yellow dog, ready to watch the battle.
This battle was very intense. It lasted for three days and three nights, and the void was obliterated.
Chen Xia had even taken two breaks. In the end, the Imperial Capital won.
Scarlet Feather was half - dead, but fortunately, his foundation was not damaged. He would recover after a few years of rest.
Originally, everyone thought that this matter was over. Although Scarlet Feather was not very smart, he wouldn't be so stupid as to make the same mistake again, right?
But in the thirtieth year.
Scarlet Feather began to publicly challenge Chen Xia and made a declaration.
"Are those in high positions born with a noble nature? Since I can't defeat the Imperial Capital, I will start from the weakest Great Emperor seedling. I will surely be able to fight my own Emperor's road!"
The reserve disciples thought that Scarlet Feather was really obsessed.
One beating was not enough, and he wanted a second one?
However, there were also many reserve disciples ready to watch the fun, especially since the one being challenged was Chen Xia, the most hidden Great Emperor seedling.
But when Scarlet Feather said these words, some dogs were not happy.
The big yellow dog directly stood up and retorted, "As a mere Supreme - species, you actually want to fight my brother. You're simply courting death."
"If you want to fight my brother, come and fight me first!"
"Of course, when beating a dog, you also have to see its master. Right, brother?"
In the end, it still fell on Chen Xia.
However, Chen Xia didn't plan to accept the challenge. Citing the damaged Taoist heart as a reason, he just refused to fight.
Scarlet Feather also pestered Chen Xia for decades. Every year, when Chen Xia was taking a walk, he would block his way and threaten to beat Chen Xia and then fight other Great Emperor seedlings.
It was a bit annoying.
- - - - - -
In the eightieth year.
Chen Xia was really annoyed by being blocked. He said speechlessly, "Isn't it better for you to go and fight other Great Emperor seedlings first and then come to fight me?"
Scarlet Feather replied, "I can't defeat the Imperial Capital. I can only beat you, the weakest one first, and then fight my own Emperor's road!"
He was a bit stubborn.
Chen Xia exhaled, with a calm expression. He stretched out one hand and took a light step forward.
The Netherworld came from the void, covering all things and filling the heaven and earth.
"All this time, have you been misunderstanding something?"
Chen Xia asked and continued.
"I have never admitted that I'm the weakest."
Tap.
His foot finally landed completely.
The cage was formed.
This was not the Netherworld Dead End, but...
The Samsara Dead End upgraded by luck!
Chen Xia stretched out one hand, his pitch - black eyes twinkling, and said calmly.
"Please."
A terrifying divine light burst out in Scarlet Feather's eyes. His three - thousand - flame - feathers stood up. He stomped heavily, and the air exploded.
He was like a flaming meteor charging towards Chen Xia!
Chen Xia clenched his fist and exhaled.
Suddenly, he struck out!
Boom!
The entire Netherworld trembled.
Scarlet Feather's figure flew backwards like a meteorite falling to the ground, and most of the flames on his body disappeared.
Chen Xia gently shook his sleeve to extinguish the flames and said in a calm voice.
"Is there a possibility..."
"I'm the strongest Great Emperor seedling."
