Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1905: Chapter 1905: The Four ”Must Not”s

Xiao Yi glanced at the Heavenly Star Relic in his hand and smiled faintly.

The next second, he put away the Heavenly Star Relic, seized back a Heavenly Star Lamp, and disappeared in a flash.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

As soon as the Heavenly Star Lamp was taken back, the cave mansion collapsed into the ground.

When Xiao Yi exited the cave mansion, he was already a thousand meters underground.

However, this time, there was no starlight storm.

All the starlight had been completely absorbed by the Heavenly Star Relic.

Swish... Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, and he was already back on the surface.

The entire Heavenly Star Cave Mansion had disappeared without a trace.

Like at the Golden Light Cave Mansion, although the Golden Light Relic was taken, the 18 swords and cave mansion restrictions still existed.

The same here at the Heavenly Star Cave Mansion: the 17 Heavenly Star Lamps were still inside.

Cave mansion restrictions also still remained, now sinking back into the ground.

The reason for this was unknown to Xiao Yi.

But this wasn’t something he needed to consider now.

After all, these cave mansions have existed for far too many months, nearly tens of millions of years old, and the secrets within are not something he can know as of now.

Currently, he had already obtained the Golden Light Relic and Heavenly Star Relic.

At the soul power origin, he could return next full moon to retrieve.

That means he has already obtained three of the treasures from the 18 cave mansions.

Counting the time since he left the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, it’s only been about a day.

Calculating it this way, including travel time and so on,

If all goes smoothly, within half a month or even a month, he will be able to collect all the treasures from the 18 mansions and return to the Black Demon Hall Main Hall to exchange for the Ten Thousand Poisons and Paths Fruit.

Xiao Yi’s eyes flashed with expectation.

In a flash, he flew away, controlling the air.

For the next mansion, Xiao Yi chose the Blood Light Mansion.

Of course, the closest one to the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land isn’t the Blood Light Dangerous Land.

The Blood Light Dangerous Land is actually separated by more than a dozen regions.

However, Xiao Yi had been to the Blood Light Dangerous Land before, so he was more experienced there.

Anyway, given his current speed on the road, he didn’t mind traveling a few more regions.

...

Half an hour later.

A black streak of light descended into the Blood Light Dangerous Land.

It was Xiao Yi.

The matter of the eighteen mansions’ dangerous lands had actually been researched quite a while ago in the Demon Hunting Hall and the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall.

These 18 cave mansions had been attempted by people in the past.

But until now, no one has succeeded, and no one has figured out the secrets within.

Take the Golden Light Cave Mansion, for example: the shattered corpses under the pit were martial artists who had attempted to venture into the Golden Light Cave Mansion to investigate.

The Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall records about the 18 cave mansions also have semi-detailed yet semi-vague introductions.

Among them, what impressed Xiao Yi the most were the four ’Cannot Dos.’

Cannot Break, Cannot Easily Venture, Cannot Pass, Cannot Obtain.

The eighteen mansions are divided into Six Stars, Six Lights, Five Heavens, and One Saint.

The eighteen cave mansions within the eighteen dangerous lands are named after their mansions.

Among the Six Stars, there are the Dominating Star Mansion, Seven Star Mansion, Shaking Star Mansion, Medicine Star Mansion, Heavenly Star Mansion, and Arrow Star Mansion. These are Cannot Break.

The Six Lights, Water Light Mansion, Golden Light Mansion, Thunder Light Mansion, Sword Light Mansion, Blood Light Mansion, and Illusion Light Mansion, are Cannot Easily Venture.

The remaining Five Heavens are Cannot Pass.

The only Saint, Ye Saint Mansion, is Cannot Obtain.

The precise meaning isn’t explicitly stated in the records, but Xiao Yi can guess.

The Cannot Easily Venture in the Six Lights implies that one cannot easily venture, and if you do, it’s a nine-death-to-one-survival situation.

Like the Golden Light Cave Mansion, if you venture into it and fail to leave before nightfall, you will be trapped in the Golden Light Storm, an unpredictable danger.

The Cannot Break among the Six Stars likely refers to formations, which are nearly impossible to break.

This point is not something to worry about.

The Cannot Pass and Cannot Obtain remain unknown for now.

But perhaps the records might not be entirely accurate.

Take Cannot Easily Venture: the Golden Light Cave Mansion was indeed dangerous.

But as for Illusion Light Cave Mansion and Blood Light Cave Mansion, Xiao Yi had never encountered any danger.

Xiao Yi thought it over and started walking toward the depths of the Blood Light Dangerous Land.

The Blood Light Cave Mansion is one of the Six Lights, meaning Cannot Easily Venture: venturing means nine deaths to one survival.

Yet, Blood Light Dangerous Land is also known as one of the safest dangerous lands.

This is evidently quite contradictory.

Xiao Yi continued onward, but suddenly paused.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi frowned.

In his senses, he detected several hidden presences far ahead.

Among these presences, there was an uncomfortable feeling, a sense of aversion.

”Evil Cultivators.” Xiao Yi immediately determined the identity of the hidden presences.

Swish... Swish...

Xiao Yi transformed into a black spectral figure, instantly vanishing from his original spot.

He proceeded forward, and even under the noses of these Evil Cultivators, they couldn’t discover him.

As expected.

After advancing a hundred meters, he quietly landed on the trunk of a large tree.

Next to him, less than a meter away, an Evil Cultivator lay hidden, spying in secret.

Xiao Yi frowned.

Evidently, these Evil Cultivators were just lookouts, maintaining watch.

But what were this group of Evil Cultivators doing in the Blood Light Dangerous Land?

Xiao Yi didn’t pay much attention, his figure flashing as he proceeded onward.

The Evil Cultivator less than a meter away didn’t notice the spectral figure passing by.

Minutes later.

Xiao Yi reached the depths of the dangerous land.

The Blood Light Cave Mansion appeared grandly before his eyes.

Logically, if the cave mansions had not emerged, they should all be deep underground.

Last time in the Blood Light Dangerous Land, Xiao Yi hadn’t seen the Blood Light Cave Mansion emerge.

Because, the Eight Mansion Young Masters had already been cultivating inside.

Now that the Blood Light Cave Mansion had emerged, it meant someone had triggered its restrictions.

And there were other martial artists inside the cave mansion as well.

Xiao Yi frowned; near the entrance, several Evil Cultivators stood guard.

Swish... Xiao Yi’s figure flickered.

These Evil Cultivators guarding the entrance were evidently much stronger than those in the forest.

The four were all at the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.

”Who goes there?” The four Evil Cultivators’ eyes turned cold.

A black spectral figure flashed before their eyes.

Before they could react, snap... snap...

A series of four soft snapping sounds.

Four sets of clothing dropped to the ground.

Within the clothing, the four Evil Cultivators had vanished without a trace.

The four Evil Cultivators instantly died under the Ten Thousand Poison Hand.

Xiao Yi’s eyes were icy, ignoring the four corpses.

Xiao Yi never shows mercy to Evil Cultivators.

Entering the cave mansion, the view within was filled with Evil Cultivators.

Their number numbered no less than dozens.

Among them, the leader’s aura was overwhelming, reaching at least Supreme 9993 Dao.

This meant he was an Evil Cultivator protector.

And this group of Evil Cultivators was gathered around a massive blood-colored sphere.

A round, blood-colored inner core was sealed with layers of evil power.

Upon closer inspection, beneath the blood-colored inner core, a great formation was relentlessly revolving.

From within the great formation, evil energy billowed out, astonishingly.

”Hmm? Who’s there?”

Xiao Yi’s entrance had naturally drawn the attention of the Evil Cultivators inside.

Xiao Yi adjusted his sleeves, revealing a pair of white gloves slowly extending from his wide black robe.

”Black Robe, Xiao Xun?” The Evil Cultivator protector sensed, then narrowed his eyes, his sinister gaze filled with killing intent.

”Capture him for me and kill him on the spot.”

”Yes.” Dozens of Evil Cultivators immediately attacked.

...

Second update.
