Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1325: Chapter 1325: On the Path of the Trial

In the gorge path, Xiao Yi walked with his sword.

This was the path of the trial.

All around, the gale winds continuously assaulted him.

This was somewhat similar to the gorge inside the inheritance land.

”Is this the Wind Shattering Prison?” Xiao Yi muttered to himself as he resisted the gang winds and moved forward.

This was information Xiao Yi received from Chengfeng Hall Master’s words.

Long before, he guessed it was a place like a prison.

He didn’t expect it to be true.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the bottom of that valley, known as the Wind Shattering Prison, should be connected to the prohibition of the entire inheritance land.

Once any intruder tries to infiltrate the inheritance land and covet its inheritance, they will surely be attacked by the power inside the inheritance land, and consequently trapped in the Wind Shattering Prison.

No wonder the gang wind at the bottom of the valley is so strong, it’s simply a prison designed to trap and kill the enemy.

Xiao Yi gathered his mind, looked ahead, along the endless gorge path that stretched for hundreds of miles.

At present, the gang wind intensified as he progressed.

With such a long path, as one continuously moved forward, the level the gale winds would reach was still unknown.

Chengfeng Hall Master’s words, ’If you can’t hold on, don’t force it,’ further emphasized the difficulty of this trial path.

However, so far, Xiao Yi didn’t take it too seriously.

This path was the trial.

Although it was somewhat like the Wind Shattering Prison,

the Wind Shattering Prison was for trapping and killing enemies,

this trial path couldn’t compare to that.

Moreover, it wasn’t only him walking this trial path, but also nine other candidates.

Since the Main Hall dared to set this path as the trial, there must be a limit.

If other candidates could make it, Xiao Yi wasn’t worried.

Even if the other nine candidates might have obtained remarkable inheritances, while he, Xiao Yi, obtained none.

Even so, Xiao Yi remained full of confidence.

...

After a dozen minutes, Xiao Yi had advanced several miles.

As he expected, the further he advanced, the more the gale winds intensified, although the increase wasn’t drastic.

Compared to the escalated and dramatically increased power of the gang winds inside the Wind Shattering Prison, the increase here was not worth mentioning.

Although Xiao Yi received no part of the Wind Control Inheritance, he continued to move forward, sword in hand, with ease.

...

As time gradually passed, another dozen minutes went by.

Xiao Yi’s steps suddenly paused.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at the gale winds on either side.

After a moment, a trace of delight flashed across his face.

”I see.”

His pace quickened, then subconsciously became slower.

In the slowing down, there was an inexplicable touch of mystery.

...

On the mountain summit.

The elder showed a satisfied expression, ”Not bad, it seems he’s discovered it.”

”The gale winds in the gorge, although fierce and relentless; their formation is neither from a formation nor a prohibition.”

”It forms from each part of the inheritance power.”

”Although not as startling as the effect of the Martial Arts Sacred Stele inside the inheritance land, the total inheritance of martial arts does not fall short.”

Chengfeng Hall Master shook his head, ”This kid, is indeed clever beyond measure, discovering the mystery of the gale winds after walking less than scores of miles.”

”However, the effects of comprehending these gale winds are far from those of the Martial Arts Sacred Stele.”

”Whether he will gain anything remains uncertain.”

”Hm.” The elder nodded, ”Even though he discovered it, whether he can grasp it depends on his skill.”

...

Below the gorge.

Xiao Yi’s slow steps suddenly became steady.

His bright eyes suddenly closed.

A few minutes later.

The steady steps began to smooth out.

Although moving with closed eyes, there were no obstructions; the attacking gang winds gradually gave way on their own.

”I see.”

A flash of realization again crossed Xiao Yi’s face.

On this trial path, the gang winds blew hard; indeed, he could rely on his own strength to continually cut through the gang winds and move forward.

However, that would be using sheer brute force.

The gale winds themselves contained a mystery, containing the power of martial arts rules.

If he had the capability of Wind Control, he could easily dispel the force of these gang winds and move forward easily.

If he hadn’t guessed it wrong, this was the real significance of this trial gorge path.

However, in his perception, it was clear there were hundreds or even more martial arts rules forces in this gorge path.

They seemed much like many trajectories.

These trajectories were the real paths the trial participants needed to follow.

As to which trajectory to follow, it depended entirely on the inheritance obtained within the inheritance land.

And at the same time, the strength of control and comprehension over this inheritance also determined the ease of passage on this path.

If the level of mastery was high enough, following this trajectory, one could leisurely walk out of this path, ignoring all gang winds.

Of course, this was in terms of the other trial participants.

As for Xiao Yi, he didn’t comprehend the inheritances inside, nor did he cultivate a strong Wind Dao.

Therefore, among the countless trajectories here, which to follow remained unknown to him.

Now, it was as if he was in a gorge filled with countless martial arts knowledge.

However, this martial arts knowledge was chaotic, blowing in the wind.

Whether he could make sense of it, find a safe trajectory, and move forward easily depended on his ability.

”Let’s start here.”

Suddenly, Xiao Yi’s steps paused again, and his eyes suddenly opened.

At this point, his step landed heavily on a certain spot on the ground.

Xiao Yi slightly extended his hand.

This time, a stream of gang wind assaulted.

Xiao Yi didn’t dodge or evade, stopping it with his arm.

The attacking gang wind was not very fast, yet its explosive force caused blood to flow immediately.

”Interesting.”

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, finally showing a serious expression.

His steps suddenly moved again.

Moving, yet suddenly stopping.

Stopping for a moment, and suddenly retreating.

With such intermittent steps, either advancing or retreating, Xiao Yi’s actions seemed rather peculiar.

However, the touch of seriousness mixed with slight excitement on his face showed he was certainly not walking randomly anymore.

...

On the mountain.

The elder watched each of Xiao Yi’s steps, frowning slightly.

”The position where his foot just landed is...”

The elder furrowed his brow.

Chengfeng Hall Master’s expression changed slightly, ”Could it be...”

The elder nodded.

”This kid.” Chengfeng Hall Master’s face darkened, ”Originally I thought he was clever, but didn’t expect him to act foolishly.”

”No.” The elder shook his head, smiling gently, ”He is more cunning than anyone.”

”However...”

The elder paused, revealing a playful smile.

”Judging by his expression changes, this kid has never taken this trial path seriously.”

”Now, he’s even daring enough to increase the difficulty himself.”

Chengfeng Hall Master shook his head, ”Looks like this kid won’t be able to walk out of this trial path.”

”I’ll keep a close watch, and rescue him if he reaches his limit.”

”How much further do you think he can go?” the elder suddenly asked.

Chengfeng Hall Master thought for a bit, then laughed, ”No more than 30 miles.”

...

First update.
