Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Chapter 1568 - 1551: Taking This Step Forward

At this moment, exploding from Xiao Ye’s body were the remarkable auras of two newly-born profound mysteries, rising straight into the clouds. They allowed withered trees to bloom anew and could change the landscape of mountains and rivers. They were none other than the Mystical Wood and Earth’s Profound Mysteries.The strong personalities within this space world were all startled, Sword Emperor, Pei Jiang, and Wu Ming all arrived, and their faces equally bore expressions of shock.

How arduous is the path of Law Profound Mysteries?

Many martial artists can only comprehend one profound mystery to the perfect realm all their lives.

Yet in less than a half-year’s time, Xiao Ye has miraculously comprehended two kinds of profound mysteries?

Although still very weak, or merely at the entry level, Xiao Ye has already entered a profound territory, with a promising future.

Moreover, they knew Xiao Ye comprehended, besides the original Slaughter Principle, a total of four profound mysteries.

What a monster!

Ordinary martial artists, once these four profound mysteries are perfected, reach the Half-Emperor Realm, what height will Xiao Ye’s strength surge to at that time?

"I have worried you all during this time." With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ye dispersed all the figures gathered from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

In the Emperor World, relying on the Time Tower, Xiao Ye’s enlightenment in the path of Law Profound Mysteries lasted decades.

Also, with the powerful ferocious beasts in his domain, along with battling the sentient ocean, his martial arts enlightenment grew increasingly deep.

Returning to the True Spirit Continent, upon seeing the tombs of these old friends, his heart suddenly felt touched. While sitting in this cemetery reminiscing the past, he accidentally stirred the heavens, accumulating knowledge leading to a breakthrough of the third and fourth profound mysteries.

Thinking of himself in the Emperor World, relying on the Time Tower, unable to enter the two profound mysteries, now easily comprehended, he could only marvel.

Indeed, martial arts enlightenment and opportunity cannot be sought, but rather encountered.

Or perhaps, the heroic spirits lying in this cemetery bless him.

Even though he hasn’t fused his previous Tao and Law, he feels a vague sense of control over the surrounding space.

Perhaps this is the benefit of rewalking the martial path with a mortal body, enabling him to distinctly perceive this realm.

"Xiao Ye, once you can simultaneously comprehend the four profound mysteries to the perfect realm, your Half-Emperor body will certainly transform again. Coupled with your Slaughter Principle, your power might rival a High-level Half Emperor; in the dark turmoil, you will hold a place, and we need not fear the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People."

Taiyi Palace Master regained consciousness, greeting with a face full of smiles, while surrounding martial artists showed excitement.

"High-level Half Emperor?"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.

Although he has already advanced to the Half-Emperor Realm through Slaughter, he still lacks understanding of the power division within this realm.

This is the second time he heard the division of Half-Emperor’s power from Taiyi Palace Master.

In the cemetery, Xiao Ye consulted Taiyi Palace Master.

"You... don’t even know the division of Half-Emperor’s power?" Taiyi Palace Master was speechless upon hearing this.

"The Half-Emperor Realm is affected by many factors, mainly by Law Profound Mysteries."

"In general, the Half-Emperor Realm is divided into four levels: Initial Stage Half Emperor, Middle-level Half Emperor, High-level Half Emperor, Extreme Half-Emperor."

"Previously, in Central State, most Half Emperors were at the Initial Stage Half Emperor level, with only the former Four Domain Masters at the Middle-level Half Emperor level."

"As for you, because you became a Half Emperor through the Slaughter Principle, the most powerful among the Three Great Laws, upon breakthrough, your combat power already rivals Middle-level Half Emperor."

"Once all four profound mysteries are perfected, you can definitely become a High-level Half Emperor. Throughout the True Spirit Continent, no one from the Endless Sea is your match, even the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People wouldn’t dare provoke you easily, because the price would be too high."

Taiyi Palace Master continued with emotion.

During the dark turmoil, to be sheltered is an extravagant hope.

And this time Xiao Ye’s enlightenment in martial arts, comprehending two more Law Profound Mysteries, gives him hope.

At this moment, the martial artists in the cemetery all exhibited a fierce glow in their eyes.

"Is it merely to protect you all?"

"How can I face the old friends here?" Xiao Ye glanced around the cemetery, his gaze sharp.

Half a year sitting in the cemetery brought a sense of calmness, but his killing intent towards the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People surged more intensely.

Yet Xiao Ye didn’t voice it, and instead approached Bing Ya and Xiao Nian.

"Dad, you’re amazing, you will definitely become a Great Emperor in the future!" At this moment, Xiao Nian’s face was full of admiration, his eyes bright.

"This kid, if I’m not amazing, would you not acknowledge me as your dad?"

Xiao Ye smiled, patting Xiao Nian’s head.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nian blinked, seriously nodding: "Of course, to be the dad of Xiao Nian, one must be extraordinary, sweep across the universe, standing above all martial artists."

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Nian’s innocent words caused the martial artists to laugh, diluting the solemn atmosphere in the cemetery.

With laughter and chatter, the group left the cemetery.

Xiao Ye returned to his parents’ residence with his wife and child.

He didn’t go to cultivate, but while accompanying his family, wandered in this space world, conversing with martial artists of Wuji Sect and Taiyi Palace, learning about external turmoil.

He saw Taiyi Palace, devilish disciples from his contemporaries, but only a few remained.

For example, the Red Robed Gentleman had fallen in the dark turbulence.

Even Elder Yang, who bestowed great favors upon him, had passed away, becoming a handful of yellow soil.

As well as Little White.

The Dark Emperor remotely attacked Wuji Sect, Little White bore most of the Dark Emperor’s wrath, even its terrifying defense was shattered, now sleeping in this space world, Xiao Ye was unable to awaken it.

Xiao Ye sighed, cherishing the days with family more.

Especially Xiao Nian.

He wishes to make up for the years of absence in Xiao Nian’s growth, not intentionally guiding him towards martial arts, but rather focusing on companionship.

Father and son, the original barriers dissolved due to companionship; seeing his family’s smiles, and hearing of external turmoil, Xiao Ye gazed at the heavenly dome, his eyes profound.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Night descended.

"Time to take that step, will I transcend from the ordinary, reaching boundless glory, and fuse my previous Tao and Law, this is the moment."

"Since the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People created endless slaughter, let me cease slaughter with slaughter." Xiao Ye stepped into the black veil, ascending to the heavenly dome, not alerting anyone, heading towards the exit.

"You, are finally leaving?" A gentle, melodious voice sighed in the night, tears glimmering.
