Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Setting Out Again

The Asura Battle Body reached the Peak of the Fifth Layer.

Xiao Yi, relying solely on his physical strength, was comparable to a Peak Martial Artist of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

At this time, Xiao Yi’s Demon Beast Essence Blood had also been depleted.

In the seclusion room, Xiao Yi spent several days familiarizing himself with the sudden surge in physical strength.

Several days later, Xiao Yi began his Martial Arts cultivation.

He had accumulated a large amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood, and naturally, a large number of Demon Beast Cores as well.

However, compared to his vast Small World, this amount of Demon Beast Cores was still insufficient.

At least, it was not enough for a breakthrough.

He took out the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace and injected a Purple Flame into it.

Numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Demon Beast Cores were methodically placed into the furnace.

In no time, grains of Pure Elixirs were refined.

Xiao Yi slowly consumed them, and the Primordial Power in his Small World gradually increased, not quickly, but somewhat slowly.

Xiao Yi was not in a hurry.

Cultivation was, after all, a step-by-step process.

Though the cultivation in Martial Arts was slow, he did not slack off in the least.

He knew well that he still had many things to do.

...

The days in seclusion were actually somewhat monotonous.

Day after day, doing the same tasks—meditating, comprehending Martial Arts, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy...

As days turned to nights, half a year hurriedly passed by.

For Martial Artists, half a year of seclusion was but the blink of an eye.

...

Along the corridors of the Xiao Family, a figure walked slowly.

The figure was quite young, dressed in Young Master’s clothes, distinguished in bearing, and handsome in appearance.

Whenever Xiao Family members passed by, they would always look at him respectfully.

And genuinely performed a bow.

The younger clan members showed looks of admiration.

All because this young man was their Young Master.

Though young, he was the strongest in the family, bringing countless glories to the Xiao Family.

Indeed, the young man was Xiao Yi.

He had just come out of seclusion today.

After half a year of arduous cultivation, he just intended to stroll around casually.

Of course, after half a year of seclusion, his Cultivation had made certain progress.

Even before seclusion, his Cultivation was already at the Peak of the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer, missing just a bit to break through to the Heavenly Origin Eighth Layer.

Shortly after the seclusion began, having consumed a large amount of Pure Elixirs,

his Cultivation completely broke through to the Heavenly Origin Eighth Layer and directly soared to the Peak of the Eighth Layer.

After half a year of hard cultivation, his Cultivation broke through again, reaching the Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer.

Inside his Small World, Primordial Power had filled nine-tenths.

He was just a step away from completely filling it.

As his Cultivation increased, the absorption of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power also increased.

Accordingly, the Ice Pattern Foundation expanded a bit.

The Ice Pattern, thus, stored even more power.

At this moment, if he activated the Ice Pattern, he could unleash greater combat power.

His physical strength reached the peak of the Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer.

His Martial Arts cultivation reached the Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer.

The Ice Pattern became even stronger.

This was the harvest of half a year’s seclusion.

Without a doubt, compared to half a year ago, Xiao Yi’s strength had undergone a radical transformation.

As Xiao Yi walked, he pondered.

Suddenly, a clan member hurried over, performed a bow, and respectfully said, ”Young Master, Elder Duan Yun is looking for you.”

”Okay, I understand,” Xiao Yi nodded.

He came to the outside of the Xiao Family’s main gate.

Elder Duan Yun, as always, sat dignifiedly.

”Elder Duan Yun,” Xiao Yi called out indifferently.

Elder Duan Yun opened his eyes and said irritably, ”You little rascal, you’ve finally come out of seclusion.”

”The Sect has already sent people several times looking for you.”

”If it weren’t for your seclusion, which I feared might disrupt your insights, I would have almost been unable to resist visiting you personally.”

Xiao Yi smiled and said, ”Visiting me? Was it for that grand event?”

”Exactly,” Elder Duan Yun nodded and said, ”Yesterday, Senior Swordswoman sent someone with a message.”

”They will leave first and wait for you in Anyun County.”

”Once you leave your seclusion, hurry to meet them.”

”Okay, I will set off shortly,” Xiao Yi nodded.

With that, Xiao Yi turned to leave.

Just then, an unexpected comment from Elder Duan Yun came from behind.

”Young man, I am really relieved now, no, I should say I am extremely fortunate.”

”Oh?” Xiao Yi was startled.

Elder Duan Yun said softly, ”You young man, did you think I didn’t know?”

”Even though the news is not very prompt on this side in Northern Mountain County, the disciples from your sect who came looking for you have already told me everything.”

”More than half a year ago, you had already reached the power level of the peak of the Extreme Realm Third Layer.”

”And you audaciously killed Bing Chengtian, the Great Guardian of the Ice Martial Kingdom, right in front of Cold Ice City.”

”As well as the Eight Ice Martial Guards.”

”It’s fortunate that half a year ago I said I would protect you fully.”

”I suppose, if you had taken action yourself, Blood River and those other Golden Evil Sect experts would have been dead within a few breaths, wouldn’t they?”

”Heh,” Xiao Yi chuckled and said, ”Elder Duan Yun, you flatter me.”

Elder Duan Yun sighed and said, ”You’re not even 21 yet, and you already possess such strength.”

”I really can’t imagine just how monstrously talented you are.”

”If something had happened to you during the great battle at the Royal Capital, when you were surrounded by us, the peak powerhouses, I really would have become the biggest criminal in the history of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.”

”Fortunately, at that time, your combat power was astonishing, and it was us who were defeated.”

Xiao Yi just smiled faintly, not saying much.

”By the way,” Elder Duan Yun suddenly said, ”With your talents, you already had that level of strength half a year ago. Now, after another half-year of seclusion, I’m afraid your strength has reached an exceptionally terrifying level.”

Xiao Yi nodded and said, ”It’s been quite beneficial.”

”That’s good to hear,” Elder Duan Yun nodded with satisfaction.

Now, in his eyes, watching over Xiao Yi seemed more important than anything else.

”If there’s nothing else, I’m ready to set off,” Xiao Yi said.

”Go ahead,” Elder Duan Yun nodded.

After bidding farewell to Elder Duan, Xiao Yi sought out the elders of the Xiao Family.

”Yii’er, we’ve always known that you would leave again,” Xiao Lihuo said.

”The Xiao Family cannot confine you.”

”The much broader world outside is where you truly shine.”

Xiao Chong laughed and said, ”Go on, take care on your journey.”

Every time Xiao Yi returned, then left again, the elders of the Xiao Family always reiterated their warnings.

Xiao Yi gave a deep bow to the elders and then turned and departed.

Before leaving, he had already arranged plenty of contingencies.

Plus, with Elder Duan Yun’s protection, the Xiao Family was safe.

It was indeed a luxury to have an Extreme Realm Martial Artist as a guard—something perhaps no other major power in the world could afford.

Xiao Yi chuckled, without dwelling on it further.

With a flash, he soared into the sky.

His destination was Anyun County.

...

Within just over an hour, Xiao Yi arrived at Anyun County.

Coincidentally, the delegation from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had just arrived as well.

Leading the team were the Senior Swordswoman, the Great Elder, and several other deeply cultivated idle elders.

From the younger generation, Bai Bingxue, Lingg Yu, and Zhong Wuyou were the leaders.

Additionally, there were Ye Ming, Jie Mo, the Meteor Sword Master, and several other geniuses of the Sword Sect.

”Junior Brother Xiao Yi,” Ye Ming called out excitedly.

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile.

Just then, from afar, several streaks of light streaked across the sky.

In just a few breaths, they had passed overhead.

It was the King, Su Zhenxuan, Su Bai, and others, including Bai Mohan and some well-known talents from the Royal Capital.

”Bai Mohan,” a chill flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

...

Second update.
