Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1663: Greetings to the Holy Daughter

”Phew.” Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

Originally, he thought that coming to the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall this time might yield other gains.

Of course, there were indeed gains. The rewards inside those three Universe Rings allowed his cultivation to break through from the Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer to the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.

For a martial artist, cultivation is ultimately the foundation.

Naturally, this harvest is actually quite good.

However, having gained rewards, it also brought about this inexplicable trouble.

And it’s trouble that Xiao Yi could hardly avoid.

Unless you say it’s not trouble, unless he serves as the Three Halls Main Hall Master without ever having to take off the mask.

Of course, this is clearly impossible.

The position of Flame Hall, Demon Hunting Hall, Medicine Venerate Hall, Three Halls Main Hall Master is of great importance.

How can they allow someone with an unknown face to take the post wearing a mask?

Since it’s impossible, it means that he will inevitably reveal his identity because of it; and then, the consequences are unpredictable.

Speaking of which, the reason he has always maintained the identity of Yi Xiao was to hold it as a scapegoat.

Taking a step back, having one more identity makes it much more convenient to act.

Because of this, he can act without any fear.

Even the notorious Evil Lord Mansion, he would raid fearlessly, sweeping through without fear of so-called reprisals.

But if the target changes to the Ancient Eight Halls, and three of the Ancient Eight Halls are hunting him down.

Then the consequences, he’s afraid, he won’t be able to escape even if he hides in the farthest corner of the continent.

The Ancient Eight Halls have branches all over the continent.

Even without accounting for the Flame Envoy, or the alchemists of Medicine Venerate Hall, just the Demon Hunters spread throughout the world would be enough to trouble him greatly.

”Sigh.” Xiao Yi sighed.

His gaze shifted from the five Main Hall Tokens in his hand to the remaining two.

Thinking about it, the tokens of Asura Hall and Wind Shattering Hall were also a bother.

He remembered the conversation with the Asura Hall Master back at the Asura Main Hall.

He still remembers when the conversation ended and he left the Hall Master’s study; his entire palm was soaked in cold sweat.

It was merely a short conversation, but the verbal exchange almost surpassed the tension he felt when conversing with any senior martial artist before.

He had no doubt that the Asura Hall Master was an incredibly wise elder.

As for the Wind Shattering Hall Master, there’s no need to mention. He controls the world’s intelligence, and there’s almost nothing he can be kept in the dark about.

The two Hall Masters are no ordinary figures, and who knows if they have suspicions or if they are already investigating.

”Sigh, trouble, trouble.” Xiao Yi sighed twice.

What he didn’t know was that the Asura and Wind Shattering Hall Masters had long suspected, no, to be precise, had already sent Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master to catch him.

Xiao Yi shook his head and put away the five Main Hall Tokens.

Thinking too much about these matters now is futile.

Besides feeling troubled, nothing else can be changed.

Compared to these, the ancient emperor’s tomb event two months later was even more imminent.

He must visit the ancient emperor’s tomb.

But to say he could truly solve the situation, he still wasn’t sure.

Moreover, it was still unclear what kind of situation lay inside.

Back then, the Vice Dean seemed to suggest that he, along with Mo Youu and the chiefs of the Five Great Academy, could jointly grasp a sliver of opportunity to break through.

Taking it to heart, the joint efforts of 7 monstrous geniuses of the current era would only provide a slim chance?

In other words, the journey to the ancient emperor’s tomb is bound to be a challenge more difficult than climbing to the sky.

However, for Xiao Yi, this only made it more interesting.

Additionally, he already received a slot for the ancient emperor’s tomb.

Yet, the words of the Demon Hunting Hall Master reminded him.

He knew that the competition for slots among various forces had yet to begin.

In total, the ancient emperor’s tomb had 10 slots, with 5 held by the Central Region’s great academies and 5 by the major sects, families, and other forces, totaling 10.

While the Ancient Eight Halls, due to their elevated status, each have a set slot without the need to compete, totaling 8 slots.

The Ancient Eight Halls’ slots need not be further mentioned.

The competition among the academies was long over, and the 5 slots of the great academies were also finalized.

But the allocation of the 5 slots among the major forces had yet to be decided.

With his recent wanderings across regions, Xiao Yi became aware of this.

The allocation of slots among various forces will begin in half a month, with the location being the Extreme East.

Xiao Yi isn’t concerned with that slot, but similar to the rewards for first place in the competition among the Hundred Schools, the rewards for competition among major forces are also enticing.

No doubt, when gatherings of forces such as the major families, sects, and overlord forces like the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures, and the Beiyin Sect participate, the rewards can’t possibly be lacking.

Whiz... Xiao Yi’s figure moved instantly.

With the flapping of the Purple Flame Fire Wings, his speed soared to the limit.

Anyway, during these two months, he wants to continue enhancing his power as much as possible to challenge the ancient emperor’s tomb with even greater strength.

Going to the Extreme East to see, and participating in the competition to earn some rewards wouldn’t be bad.

Whiz... Whiz... Whiz...

With every flap of the Purple Flame Fire Wings, he crossed a thousand miles in an instant.

From a distance, rather than a flaming leap, it was more akin to a stream of light surging through space.

While flying, Xiao Yi also delved into the martial arts knowledge in his mind.

Previously, at the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, the two Hall Masters were astounded by his alchemy skills and mastery of the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power.

Outsiders only saw his astonishing talent but did not see his hard work and perseverance.

Over the years, in the path of alchemy, the massive cultivation resources he needed were all obtained by himself; the vast array of elixirs was all refined by himself.

Each refining session resulted in piles of elixirs like small mountains.

Throughout the years, he couldn’t even remember how many elixirs he refined, tens of thousands? No, hundreds of thousands? No, it should be more.

Not a single elixir was refined by others; even the most advanced elixirs required him to comprehend the pill recipe himself before attempting the refinement personally.

Undergoing countless trials honed his alchemy skills to exceptional proficiency.

Combined with his natural talent, that’s why his alchemy skills surprised even the Medicine Venerate Hall Master.

As for the mastery of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts,

Over these years, through his roaming, practicing, and participating in various events, he acquired multiple inheritances.

These included inheritances from the Ancient Hall, martial arts inheritance from within the Sword Emperor Stele, and more.

Every time he traveled, used his scarce leisure time, and even during the meditation time while sleeping, he devoted to comprehension.

Day after day, year after year, his innate talent allowed him to grasp and control vast martial arts knowledge within these inheritances.

Thus, every time he breaks through, he can instantly absorb the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power into his small world and control it at will.

On the path of cultivation, Xiao Yi has never wasted or slackened even for a moment, which is why he has today’s supreme power.

...

In the east of the Central Region, Extreme East.

In the sky, a blue stream of light swiftly approached.

Within the stream of light, dots of white light swirled.

On the ground, a group of elders had long awaited.

”What a terrifying aura, that is...” An elder stared into the distance, showing shock on his face.

”It’s the Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix, a legendary and ferocious legendary demon beast.” An elder instantly reacted.

The azure stream of light quickly arrived.

Atop a massive azure luan bird, a woman slowly descended.

Behind the woman, several elders followed closely.

”Salute to the Holy Daughter.”

The waiting elders all bowed.

...

First update.
