Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Cultivation in January

Xiao Yi sat with his legs crossed, contemplating the Stove Fire Martial Way and the Water Avoidance Martial Art.

In fact, it could hardly be called contemplation.

Because, with the effect of the Martial Arts Ice Crystal, he directly obtained these martial arts.

These martial arts had become things that could be immediately possessed.

But possessing and understanding them was one thing; mastering them was another.

Simply put, Xiao Yi had both possession and understanding of these pieces of knowledge.

What he was now contemplating was how to manage and master this knowledge.

Just like he did with the martial arts knowledge of the Wind Snow Sword Master in the past.

Back in the deep bamboo forest space of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Xiao Yi had already thoroughly comprehended the martial arts knowledge of the 23 strongest Sword Masters.

Yet, during his first entry into the Extreme Cold Land with Bai Bingxue, he still had to re-contemplate to get control over and harness those techniques.

Xiao Yi was now engaged in such a contemplation for mastery.

After half a day, Xiao Yi concluded his contemplation.

He had complete control over the two martial arts, commanding them as easily as moving his own limbs.

Of course, the level of mastery was not high; that is to say, the level of the techniques he could use was not high.

He had only reached the peak level of the Earth Origin Realm.

The martial arts knowledge of these two styles, originally existing within Bai Mohan’s Martial Soul, was not of a high level either.

The reason was that the two Martial Artists Bai Mohan had killed were only at the peak of Earth Origin just before their deaths.

Their level of martial arts was naturally only at that peak level.

So after Bai Mohan absorbed these martial arts knowledge, it remained at that level.

If Xiao Yi wanted to further refine these two styles of martial arts, he could only rely on his own enlightenment.

Enlighten himself with the two styles of martial arts from heaven and earth.

Indeed, the cultivation of a Martial Artist often requires frequent contemplation of the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.

Many Martial Artists with profound Cultivation often go into seclusion just to contemplate.

Of course, Xiao Yi often needed to do the same.

This was when the preciousness of Martial Arts Inheritance became evident.

Martial Arts Inheritance contains the lifetime’s worth of Martial Arts Knowledge from Martial Artists who were more profound in Cultivation than oneself.

After obtaining such martial arts, unless one’s own Cultivation and Martial Arts Level are already higher than that of the predecessor, there is no need to seek enlightenment.

Take the Domineering Sword Technique, for example.

Xiao Yi got his lifetime’s worth of Martial Arts Knowledge, and before he was higher in Martial Arts Realm than him, there was no need to seek enlightenment with the Domineering Sword Technique from heaven and earth.

Simply put, for such a grand ’Domineering Sword Technique’, there was already a bright lamp far ahead illuminating everything.

He could easily pass through.

And then there’s the Great Freedom Sword Dao.

Elder Yi only left a trace of Sword Qi for him, and the subsequent Martial Arts Knowledge of the Sword Dao all came from Xiao Yi’s own enlightenment.

For the grand ’Great Freedom Sword Dao’, beyond the starting point of light, the farther back was all darkness, and Xiao Yi needed to grope and walk his own path.

The higher the level of the Martial Arts Dao, the harder it is to traverse.

To gain knowledge of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts through one’s own enlightenment was extremely difficult.

This is why most Martial Artists remain trapped within the Martial Arts Realm for many years, unable to break through.

The reason is they do not know what lies ahead in the Martial Arts they cultivate.

To seek enlightenment in the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts on their own is esoteric with great difficulty; second, without knowing if it is accurate, if the direction of cultivation is wrong, many years of hard work could lead to wasted effort.

Xiao Yi, now practicing the Great Freedom Sword Dao, would face the same problem.

Fortunately, with his astounding talent and strong comprehension, he did not stray off course.

The strength of the Martial Arts power of his Great Freedom Sword Dao had even reached twenty-nine percent completion.

To return to the main discussion.

For the Stove Fire Martial Way and the Water Avoidance Martial Art, the knowledge of these two martial arts beyond the peak level of Earth Origin was a realm of darkness and mist.

Xiao Yi paused his cultivation briefly, looked at the elderly man in the Ice Coffin, and smiled knowingly.

He then began to contemplate these two types of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.

Of course, as he contemplated, he also absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to increase his Cultivation.

With a thought, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy above the cracks outside the cave rapidly poured into the cavern.

With the strength of Xiao Yi’s Small World, the range of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy he could control was far beyond a thousand miles.

Of course, this ordinary Cultivation method led to a slow increase in his Cultivation.

After all, his Qi Spring was too large and it was difficult to increase the intensity of his Primordial Power.

The fastest way was only to absorb the massive powers of Cultivation Items, such as inner cores free of impurities above Level 8.

However, he was now solely comprehending the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts, idle as he was.

Absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy for cultivation might be slow, but a mosquito may be small, yet it’s still meat, better than not cultivating at all.

...

Time, in this tranquil state, slowly passed by.

Day after day, Xiao Yi did the same thing regularly.

On one hand, he understood the knowledge of the Stove Fire Martial Way and Water Avoidance Martial Art after reaching the Heavenly Element Realm.

On the other hand, he absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to enhance his Cultivation.

From time to time, he would stop cultivating to glance at the old man in the Ice Coffin, murmuring a few words and chuckling softly.

From time to time, he would wave his hand, condensing a piece of Ice Crystal, reflecting the starry night view above the crevices outside the cave.

Quietly, he and the old man appreciated the dazzling stream of night lights.

Peaceful times always seem to fly by especially fast.

A month’s time, in an instant, had passed.

Today was the last day that Xiao Yi planned to cultivate here.

Speaking of cultivation after reaching Earth Extreme Realm, there was not much difference from before.

The only difference lay in the need for more Primordial Power.

After all, with the increase in Cultivation, the size of the Small World would grow.

And the higher the Cultivation, the greater the amplification.

Within the Earth Extreme Realm, for every advancement in Cultivation, the Small World grew by a hundred zhang.

The Small World thereby became larger and stronger.

Another point, Xiao Yi, after settling down to cultivate these past few days, discovered a change in Primordial Power.

Beyond the Extreme Realm, the Small World became the most indispensable existence for a Martial Artist.

Whether it was the increase in Cultivation or storing the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, etc.

The Small World undoubtedly became the largest source of strength for Extreme Realm Martial Artists.

And as the Small World expanded and strengthened,

it was actually also refining the purity of the Primordial Power.

Perhaps it couldn’t be called refining, Xiao Yi didn’t know how to describe it.

He only knew that the Primordial Power within the Small World was clearly undergoing a process similar to nurturing and refining.

The Small World made this Primordial Power increasingly pure and increasingly powerful.

Xiao Yi even made a comparison, a strand of Pure Element Power within his body now surged much more and was far more potent than a strand of Primordial Power before reaching the Earth Extreme Realm.

This, perhaps, was another reason why Extreme Realm Experts greatly surpassed their previous strength.

In addition to the embodiment of Martial Arts and the amplification of Martial Arts Power, there was also the more pure Primordial Power within the body.

Several hours later.

”Phew...” Xiao Yi exhaled lightly, ending today’s cultivation.

He stood up, once more gazing at the old man in the Ice Coffin.

The old man, with his stubborn face, was brimming with a content smile.

This smile was the expression frozen on the old man’s face before he fell into a comatose state.

He was watching Xiao Yi like that.

As if expressing his satisfaction with this disciple.

Xiao Yi smiled and touched the old man’s face, ”Disciple is about to leave, I can only accompany you for so many days.”

”This journey afar, I must undertake.”

Even if there were news of Yiyi from the Demon Hunting Hall, Xiao Yi would still venture out.

He needed to find a way to save Elder Yi.

Even if he couldn’t find one, it was still good to venture out and improve his strength, striving to get closer to the Martial God Realm.

In any case, traveling and adventuring could never be a loss.

Xiao Yi withdrew his hand and gave a deep bow to the Ice Coffin.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, a ’crack crack’ sound.

Around the chilling Ice Coffin, some of the surrounding Bai Gu shattered.

From the shattered white bones, an inconspicuous Token appeared before Xiao Yi’s eyes.

”Huh?” Xiao Yi frowned.

...

Second update.
