Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2161: Chapter 2158: Seclusion Room in the Holy Heart Hall

The night is desolate.

The cold radiance of the full moon in the sky further intensifies the desolation of this night.

Yiyi has already fallen asleep.

In fact, for martial artists with profound cultivation, resting mostly involves meditating to comprehend the heavens and earth.

As for sleeping, it is not really necessary.

But Xiao Yi knows well that Yiyi, over the years in the Holy Moon Sect, especially in this Holy Heart Hall, has mostly been training and pondering night and day.

Finally, having found her back, let her have a good sleep.

In the courtyard, Xiao Yi stands with his hands behind his back, gazing at the high night sky, feeling the desolate night, and shakes his head.

”It is not the night that is desolate, nor is it the bright moon that is desolate, but it is the martial arts of heaven and earth, endlessly desolate.”

In the deep night, under the sparse moonlight, a sigh escapes.

Xiao Yi lowers his hand and has already left.

...

Inside the Holy Heart Hall, there is a seclusion room.

Xiao Yi steps into the seclusion room and sits down cross-legged.

With a bang... a golden flame gathers on his body, the Golden Flame Sacred Fire.

This flame possesses no power, but is a healing sacred fire, and is praised by alchemists as the foremost alchemy sacred fire.

Elixirs refined with this flame will have their healing effects greatly amplified.

And for Xiao Yi, being a Fire Control Warrior himself, he can directly control this flame to nourish his internal injuries.

The golden flame, like a pure liquid of golden light, moves through his body, limbs, and organs, leaving warmth and comfort in its wake.

On the surface, the golden flame resembles mist energy, enveloping Xiao Yi’s skin externally.

Nurturing the meridians and organs internally, and nurturing the muscles and flesh externally.

The pain from Xiao Yi’s injuries instantly diminishes by more than half; the injuries also recover much faster than usual.

While healing, Xiao Yi also ponders on matters.

The conversation today with the Masters of the Main Hall and the Senior Swordswoman made him think of many things.

Firstly, Senior Ice Saint.

Xiao Yi has heard a bit about this predecessor, and of course, today he learned more through the stories told by the Masters of the Main Hall.

This predecessor does not have any earth-shattering titles, nor those that sound domineering like ’Venerable’.

What there is, are merely the two simple words ’Ice Saint’.

But this represents so much more.

For martial artists, once they enter the Heavenly Extreme, the next realm is actually the Saint Realm, its complete name being the Infinite Sacred Realm.

In other words, after Heavenly Extreme, the Ten Dao Saints, Hundred Dao Saint Kings, Thousand Dao Saint Emperors, and now Ten Thousand Dao Saint Venerables, all exist within the Saint Realm.

More simply put, after the Ten Dao, one can bear the title of ’Saint’.

What comes after Ten Thousand Dao Saint Venerable, Xiao Yi does not know, nor is that a level he should be contemplating now.

But Xiao Yi is certain, after Ten Thousand Dao Saint Venerable, the next Great Realm must be within the Infinite Sacred Realm.

And Senior Ice Saint, with just the word ’Saint’, represents all of it.

The secret of infinite martial arts, Senior Ice Saint must have mastered to an extremely profound and unfathomable level.

And himself, even with current cultivation, current strength, cannot claim to have deep knowledge of Martial Arts Limitless.

When can I reach the level of Senior Ice Saint?

Moreover, even Senior Ice Saint has not walked the Ice Nether Sword Dao to its end.

Then, what about him, how should he cultivate his Great Freedom Sword Dao?

Xiao Yi ponders the most about this question.

Great Freedom Sword Dao, known as the world’s first sword dao, far surpasses the Ice Nether Sword Dao.

Years ago on the Wind Saint Cliff, he attempted briefly to absorb the Great Freedom Sword Dao, turning it into his first complete martial dao.

At that time, his spiritual sense even roamed the heavens and earth, briefly reaching the Holy Moon Sect here.

But at that time, it was merely an attempt, trying to complete the process.

If he wants complete mastery, Xiao Yi feels he is missing something.

Perhaps only a shred, but this shred could be endless, which is the essence of Martial Arts Limitless.

Similarly, to Senior Ice Saint, he must have reached a very advanced position on the Martial Arts Dao.

His Ice Nether Sword Dao, though not complete, must lack only a shred.

But every part of his Ice Nether Sword Dao could resonate with all the complete martial daos in himself, allowing him to unleash such incredible strength.

Otherwise, a single Ice Nether Sword Dao would surely amount to nothing.

Any martial artist, no matter how strong, if they have only one, can’t unleash much power.

Yet, just this one shred, this shred could resonate with other martial daos? How many complete martial daos remained unmastered by Senior Ice Saint in his lifetime?

And these unmastered complete martial daos, combined with the final ungrasped shred of Ice Nether Sword Dao, could form countless possibilities.

That is Martial Arts Limitless.

It is surely the path of Martial Arts that Senior Ice Saint could not continue down.

Xiao Yi is the same.

Perhaps his Great Freedom Sword Dao is mastered to six-tenths, seven-tenths, nine-tenths, even nine-tenths and nine, but in the end, it lacks a shred.

This shred is the true meaning of the Great Freedom Sword Dao, even surpassing the previous nine-tenths and nine.

Besides, he cannot even achieve full resonance between his nine-tenths and nine and all his own martial daos; let alone the final shred, or resonances among unmastered complete martial daos.

A lone martial dao, however strong, has limited power.

Take the Heavenly Extreme Realm, mastering a single complete martial dao, can it stand against the Saint Sovereign Realm?

And take Senior Swordswoman, though her Ice Nether Sword Dao is not perfect, it resonates with all her complete martial daos.

Thus, she, only at the Saint Sovereign Realm Seventh Layer, with seventy thousand Dao cultivation, can freeze the entire scene with one sword, and even those secluded elders and titled elders with eighty thousand Dao are no match for her.

Her cultivation can soar rapidly.

It is largely because the inheritance from Senior Ice Saint contains ways for the world’s Third Sword Dao to resonate with various martial daos.

The world’s Third Sword Dao, every fraction mastered, resonates with countless complete martial daos in oneself, thereby each fraction mastered becomes a terrifying rise, soaring continuously.

This is the mighty aspect of martial dao resonances.

Or rather, as Xiao Yi sees it, this is the true Martial Arts Limitless, the true meaning of martial arts.

And he, Xiao Yi, is still far from it.

Of course, Xiao Yi might not be concerned with these.

If he doesn’t cultivate the Great Freedom Sword Dao, but instead cultivates ordinary martial daos, he could easily find resonance points among martial daos.

Like other martial artists, those with seventy thousand Dao, eighty thousand Dao, or even the Beiyin Palace Grand Elder with ninety thousand Dao strength.

They may also have extremely strong top-tier or supremely strong martial daos.

But their martial daos surely cannot reach the level of Ice Nether Sword Dao.

Thus, they can easily find their martial dao resonance points, progressing to become Ninth Layer Saint Sovereign Realm powerhouses.

But Xiao Yi will not do so.

Great Freedom Sword Dao is the inheritance Elder Yi left him, he must cultivate it no matter what.

And, as his cultivation increasingly grows, Xiao Yi becomes more certain of his past feelings.

This path of the Great Freedom Sword Dao, this path of the world’s first sword dao, far exceeds his imagination.

What it aims to carry, its existence significance, even its secrets, are definitely not simple.

This martial arts path, he can still advance easily at present; yet someday, upon reaching a certain realm, he will also halt, unable to progress.

And this sword dao will surely be the key to breaking through ahead, allowing him to progress once more.

The first update.
