Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1351 - 1334: Two Paths

"In three years, can you become comparable to a Half-step Emperor?"

Under the gaze of the Heavenly Elder, Xiao Ye felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. The weight of this pressure was like an Ancient Divine Mountain pressing down, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After all, the fact that the Half-step Emperor was merely a physical body on him was probably known to the Iron Blood Domain by now. Once the Heavenly Elder falls, relying on a Half-step Emperor’s body alone cannot achieve the effect of intimidating the Iron Blood Domain.

Wuji Sect needs new Half-step Emperor combat power to replace the Heavenly Elder’s position!

In an age where Great Emperors are absent, the title of Half-step Emperor represents invincibility.

Looking across the True Spirit Continent, those who reach this realm are few and far between. Each has undergone countless years of cultivation, along with extraordinary Martial Arts talent and opportunities.

To become a Half-step Emperor, opportunities, self-quality, and long-term dedication to cultivation are all indispensable.

Even if Xiao Ye has unparalleled talent, he is only thirty-four years old.

This age is already considered very young, hardly worth mentioning compared to those ancient monsters living hundreds of years.

Being able to possess such strength at his age, becoming the foremost figure of the youth generation in Central State, in the history of the True Spirit Continent, only the Human Race Four Emperors have achieved this; it’s not surprising that the Heavenly Elder has such expectations for him.

"To become comparable to a Half-step Emperor in three years, there are only two paths."

"First, enhance your cultivation to the Emperor Peak, relying on the specialty of the Four Emperor Skills. When the four different Emperor Martial Powers are fused, a surge in power might render you comparable to a Half-step Emperor."

"Second, comprehend the Law profound mysteries. Besides understanding the Slaughter Principle to an extremely high realm, comprehend several different mystical paths, driving combat power to rise, perhaps comparable to a Half-step Emperor."

"After all, I have the Empress Weapon and Iron Blood Armor in my hand. These two weapons contain the Martial Arts marks of two Great Emperors before they became emperors, imbued with the path of Law profound mysteries. Deliberately comprehending them is bound to yield benefits."

Xiao Ye remained silent for a moment, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

In front of him were only these two paths, each extremely difficult. For a genius with gifted Martial Arts talent, it would at least take hundreds of years to possibly succeed, yet Xiao Ye only has three years.

"Three years..."

"With the Time Tower at hand, both paths are feasible, not necessarily impossible to succeed," Xiao Ye thought secretly, having emerged from the pressure brought by the impending fall of the Heavenly Elder, adjusting his mindset.

It must be said, the Time Tower is a divinely defying treasure, compensating for Xiao Ye’s deficiencies in Martial Arts talent, leading him to arise defying the heavens, grown to his current level, becoming the leading figure of the youth generation in Central State, surpassing the Four Great Emperor’s Sons.

Even now, Xiao Ye hasn’t figured out what level of treasure the Time Tower actually is.

Currently, he could enter the Time Tower’s Fifth Layer, possessing time fifty times beyond ordinary people, possibly having the power to contend.

"Hehe..."

Seeing Xiao Ye’s expression, the Heavenly Elder suddenly grinned.

"Back in Sealing Emperor City, I already told you, once you stop progressing before the Half-step Emperor realm in the future, go to the Sealing Emperor Hall again. I’ve already made arrangements for you there, which might be useful to you."

"Of course, your current cultivation is still too weak. The arrangements I made in the Sealing Emperor Hall won’t be useful to you for now," said the Heavenly Elder.

"Sealing Emperor Hall?"

Xiao Ye was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Before arriving in Central State with powerful figures from Sealing Emperor City, the Heavenly Elder indeed informed him that the Sealing Emperor Hall wasn’t as simple as imagined. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Since the Heavenly Elder said so, he could only suppress his curiosity about the Sealing Emperor Hall deep in his heart.

After exchanging a few words with the Heavenly Elder, Xiao Ye asked some questions about Martial Arts and, seeing the Heavenly Elder’s spirit fatigued, took his leave from the Heavenly Elder’s residence.

"Three years!"

Xiao Ye walked out of the Heavenly Elder’s residence, looking up to the sky, his black hair fluttering in the void.

From the Martial Arts lagging Endless Sea, he walked out of the Yulan Domain, rising along the path, encountering numerous formidable enemies, several times facing crises where he nearly fell, and ultimately passed through without dangers.

Now, he has already stood at the True Spirit Continent, nearing the peak level, possessing a certain level of influence. There’s no reason to give up here.

"If I can’t overcome these difficulties with the Four Emperor Skills left by the Supreme Empress, how can I talk about treading a historically unprecedented fusion Emperor Road?"

"I, Xiao Ye, aim to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Human Race Four Emperors, perhaps even surpass them!"

With this thought, Xiao Ye laughed heartily in heroic spirits, just ready to retreat for cultivation, but was stopped by someone.

"Ye Zi, the martial artists I sent to inquire about your Master Senior Wu Ming’s whereabouts returned with news that they saved your clansmen coming from East State en route. Now these martial artists are leading your clansmen toward Wuji Mansion in Sky Sword City."

Prince Donghuang hurriedly came before Xiao Ye, speaking out.

"Clansmen?"

Xiao Ye’s pupils shrank, his face suddenly turning pale, a sense of foreboding arising in his heart.

His clansmen were within the Tianjiao Kingdom of East State while also controlling the South State Dynasty, counted among the mammoth entities within the Four Great States.

However, he worried that the Iron Blood Domain might recklessly ignore the tacit rule in Central State that no harm should come to family and act against his family. Therefore, he sent powerful figures to East State a month before.

After all, when he acquired the Empress Weapon, drawing enemies from all sides, many sects’ powerful figures sought to capture his clansmen to coerce him. Who knows if the Iron Blood Domain would stoop as low as this?

Within a month’s time, the powerful figures he sent likely haven’t arrived at East State, how have his clansmen come here?

Unless something significant has happened, otherwise his clansmen wouldn’t come seeking him actively.

Could it be his suspicion was correct, and the Iron Blood Domain indeed grew so reckless as to harm his clansmen?

Woosh!

In the next moment, Xiao Ye’s figure soared into the sky, directly flying towards outside Sky Sword City.

Now in Sky Sword City, the headquarters of Wuji Sect is entrenched, preparing for the soon-to-be-held Sect Establishment Ceremony. Everywhere is bustling with prosperity and brimming with powerful martial artists.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

...

When these martial artists saw Xiao Ye suddenly rising into the air flying out of the city, they were taken aback, hurriedly offered respectful salutes.

Though the pillar of Wuji Sect is currently the Heavenly Elder, no one dares to overlook the massive potential of their Sect Leader Xiao Ye.

Here is someone, a peerless genius with the chance to become the Human Clan Emperor in the future, otherwise he wouldn’t have settled in Wuji Sect, attracting so many strong followers.

Xiao Ye stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance.

At the end of his sight, a team of around a dozen martial artists was leading a middle-aged man swiftly towards Sky Sword City.

Xiao Ye’s gaze instantly fixated on that middle-aged man.
