Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: The First Emperor of the Ancient Era

”Maybe there’s something unexpected happening.”

”Compared to merging into the Martial Soul, if the Sword Emperor Origin is absorbed by a Martial Artist, the effect would be greater.”

Elder Yun Yuan was not willing to give up.

”No accidents.” Hui Deacon shook his head, ”Two months ago, the Old Dean did not fully awaken Mo Youu’s Martial Soul.”

Hui Deacon’s expression did not look good.

”What do you mean?” Elder Yun Yuan frowned.

Xiao Yi also looked at Hui Deacon in confusion.

He wasn’t very familiar with the affairs inside Black Cloud Academy.

”Sigh.” Hui Deacon took a deep breath, ”You often retreat and don’t pay much attention to the Academy’s matters.”

”But as Deacon, I frequently handle Academy affairs alongside the Vice Dean.”

Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon were both peak Sword Cultivators.

But Elder Yun Yuan was always solitary.

Yet Hui Deacon was once the chief instructor of Heavenly Nether Mansion.

Naturally, he was more adept at handling internal affairs of the forces.

Over the years, he’s always handled Academy affairs with the Vice Dean.

Hui Deacon spoke solemnly, ”The Old Dean went through great efforts to awaken Mo Youu’s Martial Soul.”

”Two months ago, with the Old Dean’s strength, he should have been able to easily help Mo Youu awaken his Martial Soul for the second time.”

”But instead, the Old Dean suffered backlash and sustained injuries, only managing to awaken Mo Youu’s Martial Soul by ninety-nine percent, lacking just a sliver for complete awakening.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Yun Yuan seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

”Are you saying, the Old Dean wants to create the perfect Martial Soul for Mo Youu?”

”That’s correct.” Hui Deacon said with a heavy tone, ”

”A few days ago,” Hui Deacon’s voice grew heavier, ”the Old Dean and Elder Jingfeng, among others, went to the Illusion Light Dangerous Land once.”

”They intended to retrieve the Soul Power Origin within the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, to use as the last bit of power.”

”But as far as I know, there are extremely terrifying demon beasts guarding inside the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.”

”The Old Dean was already suffering from backlash, thus he was unable to conquer them, only able to retreat.”

Saying this, Hui Deacon looked at Xiao Yi, ”I suspect that’s why the Old Dean is now eyeing your Sword Emperor Origin.”

”The Old Dean cannot obtain the Soul Power Origin within the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.”

”But he knows you came to the Sword Domain and has great confidence in you.”

”Moreover, the Sword Emperor Origin is far stronger than the Soul Power Origin.”

”Are there terrifying demon beasts guarding?” Xiao Yi seemed confused.

”I also went to the Illusion Light Dangerous Land and took a piece of Soul Power Origin; there were no demon beasts.”

”None?” Hui Deacon was momentarily stunned.

”Yes.” Xiao Yi nodded, ”To be precise, there wasn’t even half a danger.”

”I entered the Cave Mansion, took the Soul Power Origin and left.”

In Xiao Yi’s account, the journey to the Illusion Light Dangerous Land was completely effortless.

Hui Deacon shook his head, ”I don’t know the specifics.”

”But I’m certain, the Old Dean must want to use your Sword Emperor Origin to replace the Soul Power Origin he couldn’t get.”

”To supply the final bit needed for Mo Youu’s awakening.”

”Besides, the Cave Mansion in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land is merely left by ancestors of the Eighteen Mansions.”

”In terms of level, it’s far inferior to the Sword Emperor; the Sword Emperor Origin is also far stronger than the Soul Power Origin.”

”Once accomplished, Mo Youu’s Martial Soul will not only awaken as the strongest black Martial Soul in the world, but also as the most perfect Sword Dao Martial Soul.”

With Hui Deacon’s words falling, Elder Yun Yuan’s expression turned extremely grim.

He finally understood why Hui Deacon was so sure the Old Dean would use the Sword Emperor Origin to fuse with Mo Youu’s Martial Soul.

While absorbing the Sword Emperor Origin could enable a Martial Artist to achieve strength and levels comparable to the Sword Emperor in just a few decades.

But, if used to awaken the strongest black Martial Soul, the most perfect Sword Dao Martial Soul in the world.

Clearly, the latter’s benefits are greater.

”The Sword Emperor Origin is unrecoverable.” Elder Yun Yuan’s expression turned gray, his previously tightly clenched fist due to anger also fell.

”Kid, both of us are useless...”

Elder Yun Yuan looked ashamed.

Hui Deacon seriously looked at Xiao Yi, ”Kid, Mo Youu’s growth speed in the future will far exceed your imagination.”

”And the Five Great Academy along with Black Cloud Academy are fully nurturing him and the chiefs of each school.”

”In the upcoming journey to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, you have almost no chance.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi shrugged.

”I don’t know what’s inside the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.”

”But to me, it’s just a trial; if there’re benefits, naturally that’s best; if not, then it’s merely a journey experienced.”

”Moreover,” Xiao Yi glanced at the two and smiled.

”To say something arrogant, I, Xiao Yi, have reached this point not relying on those unmatched opportunities.”

”Without the Sword Emperor Origin, I am still that Xiao Yi.”

”Without the Sword Emperor Origin, I am still confident on this Martial Arts Dao.”

”If my Martial Arts Dao were affected by the gain or loss of the Sword Emperor Origin, haha...”

Xiao Yi suddenly laughed, ”Then this Martial Arts Dao leading to the path of Martial God would be too fragile.”

”Therefore, you two seniors need not worry, nor feel guilty.”

Upon hearing this, the two’s eyes brightened.

Although they knew Xiao Yi was comforting them, they were surprised by Xiao Yi’s confidence.

This confidence derived from the Martial Artist himself is even more precious, and more supportive for the Martial Artist to reach the end of the Martial Arts Dao.

”Your confidence is good.” The two said with smiles but with serious faces.

”You always trouble people, but you never make them worry, and you never disappoint.”

”However, we still need to remind you.”

”Your journey to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb must be done with utmost effort, it is your final chance.”

”The final chance?” Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

”Yes,” the two said solemnly, ”the Ancient Emperor, was the Ancient First Emperor; far above the Sword Emperor in terms of lineage; the time he achieved emperor status, and his existence throughout ancient times, also surpass the Sword Emperor.”

”His grave Cave Mansion has power enough to make you rise suddenly and truly stand proudly atop the continent.”

”Hmm, I’ll do my best.” Xiao Yi nodded.

”However, you still have an important thing to do.” The two said with grave expressions.

”What is it?” Xiao Yi asked.

”Return to the Asura Hall Main Hall, or the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall.” The two said.

”What is there to return for?” Xiao Yi had a puzzled expression.

”To seek refuge.” The two said in unison.

”Seek refuge?” Xiao Yi was shocked.

The two grumbled, ”You directly slaughtered thousands of Sword Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.”

”Which of these Sword Cultivators aren’t top talents or top strong fighters from each major force?”

”You’ve wiped them out completely, do you think these forces will let you off?”

Take the Five Fools Academy for example.

Ouyang Lie, who led the team here, was the strongest Sword Dao Elder of the Academy, hidden for many years, with high prestige and seniority.

And the disciples who came here, the entire Sword Obsession lineage of Five Fools Academy, except the chief Linghu Wang not coming, all other outstanding Sword Cultivators came.

Once these matters are reported back to the Five Fools Academy, it’s likely to drive the Academy mad.

It’s the same with other major forces.

Elder Yun Yuan and the two spoke solemnly, ”The Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall and Asura Hall Main Hall probably have high hopes for you.”

”Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given you the slot.”

”You should go back to the main hall, one, to receive protection; two, the main hall inside will definitely fully cultivate you.”

”In this way, your growth speed will likely be much faster than if you trained on your own.”
