Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2173: Chapter 2170: Emperor Master, Huoo Zhongtian

”Ha, I will do my best.”

Xiao Yi smiled, his tone slightly confident, yet slightly uncertain.

But it didn’t matter.

Regarding Elder Huoo’s wish that Xiao Yi could grow to the level of matching him within ten years.

That is indeed a profound challenge.

Ten years of strength, to equal Elder Huoo’s accomplishments accumulated over thousands of years, the gap is terrifyingly huge.

For Elder Huoo or any veteran powerful figures, a millennium is nothing significant.

But for Xiao Yi, ten years is already a relatively long time.

From when he first ventured out, leaving the Xiao Family, facing countless challenges along the way, has only been a little over ten years.

Of course, during this time, he has grown from a mere Postnatal Realm to a Saint Venerate Realm expert, ranking among legends.

Therefore, this challenge is something Xiao Yi would attempt regardless, after all, he constantly needs to progress on the Martial Arts Dao.

And he has a certain amount of confidence in himself.

Elder Huoo smiled after hearing this, ”I have confidence in you, and presently, it seems you also have some confidence in yourself.”

”Perhaps a snap of the fingers ten years later might bring surprises.”

”Alright, enough of those talks, I’ll continue to guide you.”

”The means of the Saint Venerate Realm belong to this level of the Martial Arts Dao, which can’t be simplistic.”

”Even if you are the strongest monster of the era, I surmise you would need over 10 days of guidance.”

Xiao Yi slightly puzzled, asked, ”Are there other means beyond integrating Martial Arts with space?”

”No,” Elder Huoo shook his head, ”Being able to control one’s Martial Arts to integrate into space already shakes the Heaven and Earth Power, there’s no means stronger than this.”

”The subsequent guidance consists of my insights; you might consider it theoretical, Martial Arts Knowledge kind of thing.”

”I see,” Xiao Yi understood, lightly smiled, ”Then I won’t listen for now.”

”Why?” Elder Huoo smiled wryly, ”Unwilling to hear the old man’s long-winded speeches? Or uninterested in such tedious Martial Arts explanations?”

”It’s not that,” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”The Martial Arts Dao is inherently lengthy and solitary.”

”Of course, in the eyes of a true Martial Artist, this is more seen as the joy of challenge and the delight of breakthroughs.”

”I temporarily won’t listen to Elder Huoo’s subsequent guidance, just want to ask a few things first.”

”Oh?” Elder Huoo slightly puzzled, ”What do you want to ask?”

”Time manipulation,” Xiao Yi straightened his face, uttered four words.

”Time manipulation?” Elder Huoo frowned.

”Indeed,” Xiao Yi nodded, speaking solemnly, ”Not sure if Elder Huoo has dabbled in this?”

Elder Huoo smiled wryly, shook his head, ”In my lifetime, having countless disciples across the world, though not mastering all Martial Arts, but in Martial Arts expertise, I dare say none in the era surpasses me.”

”Thus, no matter which Martial Art any Martial Artist pursues, I have confidence in guiding them.”

”But this time manipulation is beyond my mastery, I haven’t even dabbled.”

Xiao Yi furrowed brows, ”Then Elder Huoo knows of this time manipulation, or has learned about it?”

Elder Huoo nodded, ”Time manipulation is regarded as the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts that only this world and the Crown could master.”

”Whether it’s me, the Masters of the Main Hall, even from the formidable Senior Ice Saint who ruled the world, to the island-controlling Sword Emperor and Ancient Emperor, none could practice it.”

”Not even slightly accessible.”

Elder Huoo emphasized the word ’slightly.’

”However, speaking of understanding and knowledge, hehe,” Elder Huoo suddenly stood hands behind, full face of arrogance.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi full of suspicion, Elder Huoo’s demeanor now showed unusual confidence.

Elder Huoo laughed lightly, ”Do you still remember the rumor about me having once taught a legendary disciple?”

”I remember,” Xiao Yi nodded.

Elder Huoo, with disciples across the world.

Those he guided are across the Central Region, each becoming a mighty figure.

Among them, the most famous was Elder Huoo having taught a legendary disciple.

However, to this day, Xiao Yi doesn’t know who this legendary disciple truly is.

Now that Elder Huoo mentioned it, Xiao Yi’s heart was full of questions.

At his current level, a Martial Artist he can’t obtain half information on can only be an exceedingly ancient figure.

Moreover, this figure must involve a secret, and quite a hidden one.

Could it be...

Xiao Yi’s mind flashed a shockingly swift thought, his expression subtly changed.

Elder Huoo smiled, ”Seems you guessed something.”

”Alright, let me tell you directly.”

As he spoke, Elder Huoo waved his big hand, setting a Prohibition around.

”My legendary disciple is the previous Soul Emperor Crown.”

”What?” Xiao Yi’s pupils shrank.

”The previous Soul Emperor?”

Elder Huoo nodded, his face suddenly turned somewhat melancholic, sighed.

”It’s a pity, a Soul Emperor yet to fully grow.”

”Otherwise, this disciple of mine should’ve lived longer and more extensive than me.”

Xiao Yi furrowed brows.

Being the previous Crown, it surely means fallen.

Naturally, matters regarding the previous Soul Emperor are those secrets that even he isn’t aware of.

”Can’t you say more?” Xiao Yi noticed Elder Huoo fell into brief silence, asked.

Elder Huoo came to, shrugged, ”Not really, just not much to say.”

”That was probably a million years ago, coinciding with the last change in heaven.”

”It’s just that time, the change wasn’t too intense.”

Xiao Yi frowned, ”The previous Soul Emperor fell at that time?”

Elder Huoo nodded, ”Before my eyes... perished.”

”Enough about those,” Elder Huoo suddenly cleared his somber expression, spoke softly, ”Those secrets, if you want to know, ask the Main Hall Masters as well.”

”In truth, there’s not much to say either.”

”About time manipulation, despite not having practiced, naturally, nor anyone else, I do somewhat comprehend its mysteries.”

”Moreover,” Elder Huoo gazed at Xiao Yi, ”You specifically asked this matter, genuinely wanting to inquire about Beiyin Wuwei, correct?”

”Indeed,” Xiao Yi nodded, ”I always feel that guy is somewhat peculiar.”

”What’s peculiar?” Elder Huoo chuckled, his smile hinting at another intention.

”Can’t say,” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Just a feeling.”

”I always felt he...” Xiao Yi’s brows furrowed deeper.

Elder Huoo followed, ”Rumor has it, Beiyin Palace’s Second Young Master has a Wasted Martial Constitution, unable to breakthrough Supreme Realm, step into Saint Venerate Realm.”

”Yet you seem to sense he isn’t the Supreme Realm cultivation but has already stepped into Saint Venerate Realm.”

”Yes...” Xiao Yi wanted to voice more, this was indeed his feeling of peculiarity.

”You didn’t misjudge,” Elder Huoo directly stated, ”He indeed stepped into Saint Venerate Realm.”

”Whether it’s his Martial Arts trajectory or other types of aura, none has exposed any clue.”

”Certainly, not a trace of anomaly spotted by the Saint Lord and the eight Main Hall Masters at their level.”

”Yet I will not be mistaken.”

”His proficiency in time manipulation is already exceedingly high, he definitely stepped into Saint Venerate Realm, not merely at the Early Stage Saint Sovereign.”

”Therefore,” Elder Huoo suddenly turned solemn, ”This kid is more terrifying than anyone imagined.”

”The time he stepped into Saint Venerate Realm was sooner and faster than your supreme monster self.”

”I even firmly believe that, had it not been for the Holy Moon event, where you had Martial Arts Relics boosting your combat strength nearly reaching legendary peak level...”

”Relying on your actual power, you might not have endured three moves from him.”
