Fifty talented geniuses flew out successively from the enclosed space through the teleportation array, directly returning to Fiery Flame City in East State, appearing atop the ancient altar.

"Hahaha, my son has returned. Feng’er, what level of True Martial Physique did you acquire this time?"

"Shan’er, you are the pride of our Lie Feng Clan."

"Lanlan, the elders in our clan are waiting for your return."

"This time, our East State has added forty more geniuses with True Martial Physique. The overall future strength of our East State will continue to far exceed the other three Great States, firmly holding the position of dominance."

...

Upon arriving at the altar, Xiao Ye immediately heard all sorts of excited voices around him, deafeningly loud.

When he looked around, he saw that Fiery Flame City now had quite a number of Martial Artists. Each of them was imposing, welcoming the multitude of young talents, with faces full of excitement.

Evidently, these Martial Artists were elders from the various major forces of East State, here to welcome the young talents from their forces back.

The most dazzling among them was undoubtedly the Xu Family of East State.

The Martial Artists of the Xu Family, upon knowing that Xu Teng unexpectedly acquired three-fifths of True Martial Physique, were unable to restrain their excitement. The surrounding Martial Artists cast envious glances.

Xu Teng’s strength was already impressive, but now with three-fifths of True Martial Physique, after a period of cultivation, he might even be able to contend with Tie Xue.

The prosperity of the Xu Family is just around the corner!

Meanwhile, the Green Dragon Four Brothers are equally astonishing, with many forces in East State trying to recruit them.

Even the four youths from the three Great States who gained the quota for True Martial Baptism due to luck were being recruited.

Only Xiao Ye and Guo An’an stood somewhat isolated.

When their figures appeared from atop the altar, the entire world quieted down, with many casting mocking glances.

Clearly, these Martial Artists from various forces in East State knew about Xiao Ye’s situation during the True Martial Baptism.

"An’an, I will find a place to enter seclusion for a while. I can’t accompany you further," Xiao Ye completely ignored these gazes and spoke to Guo An’an beside him.

"Brother Xiao Ye, come back to West State with me. With Pure Yang Alliance’s protection, they absolutely won’t act recklessly."

"Besides... the five kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you need, Pure Yang Alliance is surely close to collecting them." Guo An’an anxiously replied upon realizing Xiao Ye chose to stay in East State.

"It’s nothing."

"These people are not worth worrying about. I am staying in East State for the confrontation with Tie Xue."

Xiao Ye saw Guo An’an’s concern, smiled slightly, and soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.

"I heard this kid has many powerful combat techniques and cultivation techniques, and he slipped away."

"No worries, this kid has significant conflicts with the Xu Family’s Xu Teng and the Green Dragon Four Brothers. With Xu Family’s influence in East State, he cannot escape."

"I just heard that the Xu Family has ordered the sealing of East State’s exits. This kid is trapped in the jar."

"The Xu Family Head wants Xu Teng to step on Xiao Ye as a grindstone, then face Tie Xue."

...

Seeing Xiao Ye soar into the sky and leave, many East State Martial Artists’ eyes revealed coldness.

At this moment, no one noticed that the ten Martial Artists responsible for this True Martial Baptism flew out from the teleportation array, anxiously searching for something without making a commotion.

Fiery Flame City became lively due to the True Martial Baptism, and quickly turned quiet after it ended.

The geniuses who acquired True Martial Physique, one after another, chose to leave for secluded cultivation.

The results of this True Martial Baptism, like a storm, swept through all of East State and spread to the Three Great States.

Many Martial Artists in East State boldly proclaimed that once these geniuses mastered their True Martial Physique and emerged, East State would become lively.

After each generation’s True Martial Baptism, there are intense competitions among geniuses.

Furthermore, not only did monsters like Green Dragon and Xu Teng emerge, but Xiao Ye almost became the common enemy of the geniuses.

All Martial Artists in East State eagerly anticipate the moment when this generation of young Heavenly Pride who obtained True Martial Physique will emerge.

The Ancient East State was much more vast and boundless compared to later generations, with innumerable perilous places. Besides Martial Arts Secret Manuals not being comparable to later generations, it was a land of heroes, with former Unrivaled, latter Tie Xue, countless geniuses, a true Martial Arts Golden Age, far surpassing later times.

Fierce Beast Territory is a perilous area in Ancient East State, covering a region of nearly ten thousand miles.

It is the domain of Ferocious Beasts, with many powerful beasts lurking within, considered a Forbidden Land by East State Martial Artists.

Yet at this moment, in the sky above Fierce Beast Territory, a youthful figure descended from the heavens.

This person was Xiao Ye.

"This place suits my cultivation."

After clearing the surrounding Ferocious Beasts, Xiao Ye stood atop a Heavenly Tree, looking around and nodding in satisfaction.

"True Martial Physique!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed intensely.

At the True Martial Baptism Land, he heard talk about his True Martial inheritance being third-rate, and indeed felt that his absorption of True Martial Energy was slowing.

But don’t forget—he has the Time Tower!

Using the rules of the Fifth Layer of the Time Tower, he possesses fifty times the time of others!

Others have only ten days for True Martial Baptism, but he has five hundred days!

What of third-rate True Martial inheritance?

This vast time advantage is enough to compensate for the disadvantage in True Martial inheritance!

"Green Dragon and Xu Teng acquired three-fifths of True Martial Physique, my True Martial Physique is definitely not weaker than theirs, though I’m not sure what heights my True Martial Physique has reached..."

Xiao Ye smiled slightly and immediately sat cross-legged atop the towering tree.

Boom!

At this moment, Xiao Ye’s body seemed to unlock a shackle, his entire demeanor changing, skin like jade, each bone radiating an immortal glow, with a Martial Arts Sound swirling around, triggering anomalies associated with True Martial Physique, far surpassing Green Dragon and Xu Teng, causing nearby Ferocious Beasts to tremble.

Suddenly, wind and clouds changed above the Heavenly Dome, and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within a thousand miles of Fierce Beast Territory was attracted, almost forming a howling gale, rushing overwhelmingly towards Xiao Ye.

Faced with such fierce Primordial Energy impact, Xiao Ye remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye’s soul seemed to elevate to a mysterious realm, his mind clear, and the combat techniques and cultivation techniques he had practiced emerged one by one, seemingly merging with him, deepening his insight.

Even his understanding of the Slaughter Principle and Wind Profoundness became clearer, as if he had consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhance comprehension.

"Such a terrifying physique, I must completely master it!" Xiao Ye’s face was full of excitement.

He felt that just through cultivation, his realm could soon achieve a breakthrough.
