All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

71: Chapter 71 Farewell to the GodsCultivation knows no time.

By the time Ye Xiu broke through the ninth Bloodline shackle, over a year had passed, much slower than anticipated.

As one’s Realm improves, the speed of breaking through Realms only becomes slower.

While the advantage of a Divine Body in combat power is significant, the price paid for Cultivation is equally immense.

Exiting seclusion.

Ye Xiu slowly stood up.

His Qi Sense extended, and the entire state of Tianfu City appeared in his mind.

It was a calm and prosperous megacity.

”It is good that there are no anomalies.”

Ye Xiu withdrew his Qi Sense and glanced toward the direction of the Qingcang Daoist Sect.

Master Zhang remained as unfathomable as ever.

Even with his current strength, he was still unable to detect Master Zhang’s aura.

It was as if this person did not exist in Tianfu City.

He shook his head slightly.

Yet, he realized that Xing Mu, that fellow, still hadn’t returned after more than a year.

Could she have given up on the Great Xia Human Race?

Ye Xiu pondered for a moment.

This should be considered a good thing.

Xing Mu’s current strength was hard to judge.

Ever since she slew her [Past Self], her memories must have been mostly restored.

In her current state, it was likely that no one could restrain her.

As for not returning to Xingluo Mountain, she was likely plotting the plan for the Imperial Court’s return.

Ye Xiu sighed softly.

He couldn’t be bothered to think about Xing Mu’s affairs.

Current strength is the only thing that matters. In the face of future calamities, if the Great Xia could not resist on its own, then the current situation of ruling by law would inevitably be shattered.

Thinking of this, his desire to go to the Nine Realms Tower grew even stronger.

He glanced at the sky.

Ye Xiu soared into the air and flew at high speed toward the Nine Realms Tower.

Just as he was about to vanish into the horizon, he saw an officer below shouting loudly: ”General Ye... please wait...”

”Hmm?”

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, looking at the figure flying toward him, and asked in confusion: ”Is something the matter?”

”A letter from Yunzhong City.”

The officer immediately handed over a paper letter.

A letter?

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. After receiving the letter, he was immediately drawn to the signature on it.

An Qingyi!

Was he very familiar with her?

With a hint of confusion, he opened the letter directly.

”It has been several years since I parted ways with the General.”

”In these past few years, with the assistance of the Dao Alliance, the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect has begun reconstruction. If General Ye has time, I hope you can honor us with a visit.”

”A few days ago, my strength improved slightly, and I obtained quite a few Sect Legacies, among which there may be legends that the General would find interesting.”

”At that time, we can discuss them with General Ye.”

There were not many words in the letter.

Besides the reconstruction of the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect, it was about An Qingyi’s discoveries within the Legacies.

Regarding the legends of the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect, Ye Xiu was actually quite curious.

An Qingyi even knew the legends of Kunlun back then. Judging by her tone at the time, even the legends of Mount Buzhou and Guixu were recorded in the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect.

These legends, Ye Xiu was still very curious about them.

September 9th?

There are still five months, so he could make it in time.

He glanced at the officer.

After giving a polite nod, Ye Xiu quickly vanished into the horizon.

Nine Realms Tower area.

A radius of over a hundred miles was shrouded in mist.

Ye Xiu slowly descended from the sky.

After his strength reached the [Shengui Realm], when he unleashed his [Martial Domain], the silver-white cross in his pupils acted like a Heavenly Eye of Martial Dao.

It was capable of seeing the existence of rules.

The mist before him was filled with a large amount of unknown rules.

Extremely dense.

Almost like the mist itself, it was about to materialize.

Ye Xiu did not dare to rashly fly in the mist.

After all, that headless Deity Obsession was highly likely to be in the sky of this area.

Walking unconsciously.

Several years ago, he had encountered that fellow with Xing Mu.

That terrifying pressure, thinking back on it now, still made him tremble with fear.

This time, without Xing Mu by his side, Ye Xiu did not dare to act rashly; it was better to be cautious.

With a cry of [Tiangang Body Protection], a blood-colored barrier instantly formed around him.

He did not linger outside the mist for long; with a step, he walked straight into it.

Sizzle...

Unknown rules were corroding the blood-colored barrier.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly; this was something that hadn’t happened last time.

”Could that Deity Obsession have undergone some mutation?”

He felt some trepidation in his heart.

After all, every anomaly here must be related to that Deity Obsession.

It was likely not going to be easy for him to reach the Nine Realms Tower smoothly.

He quickened his pace.

Like a rapidly blowing hurricane, Ye Xiu rushed quickly through the mist.

In just over ten seconds, something incredibly bizarre happened immediately.

A headless figure was rapidly approaching, its pale skin marked with spots of lividity.

This corpse looked as if it had just died not long ago.

”There are so many?”

Ye Xiu’s brows furrowed deeply.

Around him, there were countless headless figures, directly blocking all his paths forward.

”I can only fight my way through.”

He looked at the countless eerie figures closing in for the kill.

Blood Qi transformed into blades, blasting out from the barrier in all directions.

Sizzle...

After the Blood Qi blades struck these eerie figures, a chemical reaction occurred immediately.

Instantly causing them to dissolve completely.

But even so, the eerie entities in the mist seemed like they could never be killed off completely.

No matter how many Ye Xiu killed, headless eerie figures would still emerge endlessly.

Three minutes later, Ye Xiu did not dare to waste time here any longer.

With a forceful step, relying on the protection of the blood-colored barrier, he forcibly broke open a path.

The eerie entities chasing him became more and more numerous.

Their strength was also increasing rapidly.

By the time Ye Xiu reached the mountain range where the Nine Realms Tower was located, the strength of the eerie figures behind him was such that even the blades formed from Blood Qi could hardly kill them in one strike.

”Damn things.”

He cursed under his breath.

Ye Xiu couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to these ghostly things.

Relying on his powerful Blood Qi, he forcibly pushed open a path and walked quickly toward the mountaintop.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the mountaintop.

The ocean-like mass of eerie figures behind him was countless.

”Damn, am I this unlucky?”

Looking at the figure coiled outside the Nine Realms Tower, Ye Xiu’s heart sank.

The Deity Obsession was actually on the mountaintop.

Only a few meters away from the Nine Realms Tower.

”...What is this bastard doing here for no reason?”

Watching the Deity Obsession walking aimlessly, he hesitated whether to risk going into the Nine Realms Tower.

The ocean-like mass of eerie figures behind him did not walk up the mountaintop; it seemed as if this place was a taboo for them.

The Blood Qi dissipated.

Ye Xiu observed quietly from the side.

After a long while, he finally confirmed that the Deity Obsession before him seemed to have a major problem.

The last time he saw this thing, that terrifying pressure was still a psychological shadow for Ye Xiu.

But encountering it this time, he felt nothing at all.

It was just like a peerless expert who had completely restrained their aura; if one closed their eyes, they wouldn’t be able to detect it.

”I can only take a gamble.”
