Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1556: Evil Cultivator, Profession

Xiao Yi’s steps did not move forward.

Instead, he looked at the surrounding ashes.

The Evil Cultivation Branch in the Three Wind Region is troublesome, but Xiao Yi doesn’t take it too seriously.

He wants to find out what’s going on with these evil cultivators.

The saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

Xiao Yi is always cautious. These enemies about whom he knows little, he naturally wants to understand them clearly.

The bodies of the Cold Wind Demon Hunting Team around him, though they had turned into ashes, still held some inexplicable martial arts aura.

Xiao Yi approached, crouched down, and picked up a small pinch of ashes with his fingertips, just about to take a clear look when a wave of chilling black energy surged out.

The black energy swirled and thrashed, instantly rushing toward Xiao Yi’s face.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, making no movement.

But when the black energy reached the front of his mask, a burst of flame condensed out, blocking the black energy.

With a faint explosion, the black energy was burned to nothingness.

Xiao Yi frowned, standing up and pondering.

According to his information, the Three Wind Hazardous Land here is the most feared first hazardous land within the Three Wind Region.

Demon beasts running rampant need not be mentioned.

Previously, the death rate of martial artists, disciples of forces, and others who came here to train had reached one hundred percent.

Yes, one hundred percent; in other words, no martial artist who came here could survive and leave this vast Demon Beast Forest alive.

In fact, such a situation is extremely unusual.

Because demon beasts not only have a strong territorial awareness but also an instinctual sense of safety.

To put it simply, demon beasts do not all gather at the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest.

Instead, according to their strength, the stronger they are, the deeper they will live in the hazardous land.

Only those weaker demon beasts will live on the outskirts of the hazardous land.

This vast hazardous land, sprawling and boundless, is the geographical advantage that demon beasts rely on to protect themselves.

Therefore, it is very clear that martial artists who come to this hazardous land will first encounter only the weaker demon beasts.

If martial artists venture in and feel they are no match, they should still be able to retreat safely.

After all, when martial artists venture deep into hazardous lands, the demon beasts they encounter get gradually stronger, not suddenly facing the strongest.

Therefore, even in those well-known large domains in the Central Region, the hazardous lands inside cannot have a one hundred percent death rate.

Yet, a mere Three Wind Region, its Three Wind Hazardous Land has a one hundred percent death rate?

Even the Demon Hunting Hall, puzzled, dispatched a Law Enforcement Team to investigate, only for them to perish as well?

The reason is simple, it is because of the existence of the Cold Wind Demon Hunting Team.

Martial artists not killed by demon beasts, or those who escaped the jaws of demon beasts, would die under their Cold Blade.

Firstly, they are the first Demon Hunting Team of the Three Wind Region, enough to put people at ease.

Secondly, the strength of the Cold Wind Demon Hunting Team is also formidable enough.

The Evil Cultivation Branch, since it stands within this hazardous land.

It must create a place of death within the Three Wind Hazardous Land, so no one dares to come.

Only then can the Evil Cultivation Branch completely control this place.

Of course, if some reckless martial artists insist on coming here, the evil cultivators don’t mind people sending their lives and treasures to them.

Only, among the demon beasts that had just besieged Xiao Yi, quite a number were peak demon beasts of the Saint Emperor Realm.

Clearly, the strength of the demon beasts here is not weak.

But, for those martial artists whom even these demon beasts couldn’t kill, what could the Cold Wind Demon Hunting Team use to kill?

The captain of the Cold Wind Demon Hunting Team, Hann Wei, is only at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, after all.

Logically speaking, martial artists of the same realm would generally not be able to defeat demon beasts.

The reason is very simple.

Hann Wei is much stronger than those earlier peak demon beasts of the Saint Emperor Realm.

In fact, Hann Wei’s strength is such that he could single-handedly slaughter all those peak demon beasts of the Saint Emperor Realm from earlier.

In Xiao Yi’s earlier perception, Hann Wei’s strength is infinitely close to Martial Arts Great Power.

This is something he would not perceive incorrectly.

But it is also this point that most confuses him now and is the question he continuously ponders. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"An ordinary peak martial artist of the Saint Emperor Realm possessing strength close to a Martial Arts Great Power?" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

One must understand, the gap between a peak martial artist of the Saint Emperor Realm and a Martial Arts Great Power; it is the gap between 9,001 martial arts and 9,500 martial arts.

Among them, there is a full gap of 500 complete martial arts.

This is by no means a small gap.

The source of strength for martial artists of the Saint Emperor Realm mostly comes from the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power.

Especially after the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, even a difference of dozens or a hundred martial arts in martial arts fusion could mean a significant power gap.

The only thing that can level these gaps is extremely strong martial arts, or extremely strong methods, cultivation techniques, martial techniques, or a divine weapon of high-grade level.

But these, Hann Wei did not have earlier.

Hann Wei cultivates only ordinary Cold Wind Martial Arts.

His methods, cultivation techniques, and martial techniques are all mediocre.

The Cold Blade in his hand barely reaches a mid-grade level of a Holy Artifact.

Take Xiao Yi himself, for example, his current strength is strong due to multiple factors.

The Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, the strongest flame martial way, integrated into his own martial way, is one of the factors.

As one of the strongest flame martial ways in the world, integrating merely this one exceeds the integration of thousands of ordinary flame martial ways, if not more.

Thus, although Xiao Yi seems to have Sixth Layer Cultivation of the Saint Emperor Realm now, the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power he controls is absolutely no weaker than someone who controls over 9,000 paths at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

In addition, he controls the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, his methods are exceedingly formidable; and the Fire Control Ability granted by the Fire Control Beast reaching dark purple, along with the Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique cultivation technique.

Additionally, his Qi Spring Elemental Power within is extremely surging and abundant.

With these various factors, he now, with Sixth Layer Cultivation of the Saint Emperor Realm, has the power to easily slay Martial Arts Great Power.

But Hann Wei, having nothing, what can he use to bridge the gap with Martial Arts Great Power?

Are the evil cultivators really so enigmatic?

"If, say, evil cultivation isn’t a title for their behavior, but is..." A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Yi’s mind, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"But is a profession." The expression under Xiao Yi’s mask suddenly changed, becoming extremely serious.

If, say, the reason evil cultivators are evil cultivators isn’t because their methods are cruel, killing innocents, even going as far as slaughtering cities.

But rather, evil cultivation is fundamentally a profession?

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but be shocked by his own thoughts.

The difference between the two is vast as heaven and earth.

Slaughtering all sides, being treacherous and cunning, using any means necessary to achieve their goals, even ordinary martial artists can do this.

It’s just that evil cultivators often engage in such things.

But a profession is a cultivation system.

Why are there professions like Alchemists, Body Cultivation Martial Artists, and Soul Masters among martial artists?

It’s because the identity of Alchemists is prestigious, and any martial artist may have to seek them out eventually.

Whereas Body Cultivation Martial Artists and Soul Masters possess strength far beyond ordinary martial artists, sometimes crushing in disparity.

So, among martial artists, those with enough talent will train in these professions simultaneously.

These professions, without exception, require extremely high talent and enough qualifications.

Therefore, these professions are not common.

These professions have the strength to crush martial artists of the same realm.

But at the same time, they require martial artists with extremely high qualifications.

But what about evil cultivation? Among the evil cultivators, there are various types, and among those evil cultivators Xiao Yi has encountered, not many have showcased any particularly outstanding martial artists.

"Hiss." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but gasp.
