Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 105 - 103 Changes in the First Zone

Chapter 105: Chapter 103 Changes in the First Zone

Chongyang Secret Realm’s First Zone became utterly silent, even the usually calm Leng Feng was shocked as he watched the young man walking back step by step.

Xiao Ye had incredibly lasted for two hundred fifty breaths in the First-tier Sky, and his cultivation had also made a breakthrough to the Mid Stage of Innate Realm Fifth Level.

"This is impossible!" Qiu Hui’s body trembled violently, he screamed unwillingly.

Like them, entering the First-tier Sky required the use of powerful cultivation to protect the entire body, which allowed them to absorb the violent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi without their bodies exploding.

In other words, the longer one could persist in the First-tier Sky, the stronger their power.

How could Xiao Ye, whose cultivation was clearly inferior to his, surpass his record?

Boom!

Qiu Hui’s face twisted ferociously as he burst forth, throwing a punch toward Xiao Ye.

The vast Innate True Qi surged from his fist, like a boiling river, drowning the void in front of him and causing dramatic fluctuations throughout the entire First Zone.

"Hmph! You want to fight me?"

Xiao Ye’s black hair swirled around, his eyes shooting out sharp glints, and the Blood Qi bursting out from his body intertwined and shimmered, forming two Giant Cauldrons floating above his head, with even a third Giant Cauldron beginning to form.

An intimidating aura swept out from Xiao Ye.

With the support of the violently roiling Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the First-tier Sky, not only had Xiao Ye’s cultivation greatly advanced, but his Physical Body Power had also stepped forward.

"Is this all the strength you have? Then just hand over your token!"

Xiao Ye stepped forward, his body flickering with a demonic luster, directly breaking through Qiu Hui’s True Qi blockade. His right palm burst out with True Qi, shining with the intense brilliance of the blazing sun, meeting Qiu Hui head-on.

The dual amplification of his physique and cultivation made Xiao Ye’s palm strike reach an astonishing level of power.

Boom!

As fist and palm collided, a powerful gust of wind swept across, blasting the last three youths flying backward.

However, Qiu Hui ended up in a more wretched state, flying back dozens of meters, somersaulting several times on the ground before stopping with a disheveled appearance, his face full of shock.

Xiao Ye’s erupted strength was notably superior to his.

"Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, both physical and cultivation breakthroughs, indeed very strong," Leng Feng murmured to himself as he sat on the first stone platform, his gaze fixed on Xiao Ye who seemed like a Demon God, his robes fluttering without wind as if he were a King.

"You are no match for me now, hand over the Chongyang Token!" Xiao Ye’s demeanor was cold as he stepped toward Qiu Hui.

Even if the density of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the same area didn’t differ much, a mosquito is still meat after all, and Xiao Ye naturally would not let it go.

"No! What does it matter if you are stronger? If I use my Innate Weapon, you won’t be able to defeat me!" Qiu Hui roared angrily, getting up and running towards the fourth stone platform.

His Innate Weapon was on his stone platform, which was his biggest reliance.

Clang!

Xiao Ye drew the Heavenly Termination Saber, poured Innate True Qi into it, and unleashed a vast Sword Light, which exploded in front of Qiu Hui, dramatically shaking the ground and stirring up dust.

When the dust settled, a several-meter-long saber mark appeared, causing Qiu Hui’s body to stiffen.

"You have your Innate Weapon; do you think I don’t have one?" Xiao Ye held the Heavenly Termination Saber, its oppressive sword light dazzling, making it hard to look directly.

"Even if you use your Innate Weapon, you are still no match for me!"

Qiu Hui’s face turned pale, looking at the Heavenly Termination Saber, he felt a chill in his heart. He had to admit that Xiao Ye was right.

"I concede!"

Qiu Hui’s expression was complex as he looked at Xiao Ye, eventually pulling out his own Chongyang Token and threw it, feeling like all his strength had left him.

Since he entered the Chongyang Sect, he had been advancing triumphantly, eventually making it to the fourth place in the inner sect, enjoying boundless glory, but now he had lost to a newbie.

This was a massive blow to him.

Hush!

Seeing Qiu Hui admit defeat, there was an uproar in the First Zone.

Everyone knew that disciples in the top five of the inner sect were incredibly strong, and now they were being defeated consecutively by the same person; was Xiao Ye specifically here to challenge them?

Xiao Ye took over the token, which bore an ancient character "four", yet his mood remained calm.

With his potential, he was bound to become an unrivaled Inner Sect Disciple, naturally not minding a mere token.

Xiao Ye took out his own token, swung his hand, and tossed it to Qiu Hui, then he sat down on the fourth stone platform.

Even though Qiu Hui had lost, he still possessed the strength of the top five in the inner sect; therefore, the token rightfully belonged to him.

"The next one to step down will be you!" Xiao Ye looked up at Zhan Hongfei on the third stone platform and chuckled.

Stepping down these self-righteous inner sect disciples one by one sure felt exhilarating.

On the third stone platform, Zhan Hongfei sneezed, suddenly feeling a nipping chill rise in his heart. He turned to look at Xiao Ye, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

Pressure!

Enormous pressure!

He saw his potential future in Qiu Hui, which multiplied the pressure he felt.

"I must not let this kid surpass me!" Zhan Hongfei’s eyes were filled with resolve as he closed them and began cultivation.

Not just him, even Zhang Huwei, the second-ranked disciple, felt considerable pressure and cultivated even more fiercely.

Probably only Leng Feng remained calm, for his record was extraordinarily distinguished, towering high above the rest.

Xiao Ye, of course, was unaware of these events; he was stabilizing the cultivation level he had just broken through.

"If I weren’t afraid of becoming a target for everyone, I would really like to visit First-tier Sky several times every day," Xiao Ye suppressed the urge in his heart.

No sooner had this thought surfaced in his mind than, in the following days, he was shocked to discover that Zhan Hongfei actually went to First-tier Sky every day.

It’s known that while First-tier Sky greatly benefits them, the violent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi can also cause significant harm, usually requiring two days to recover.

But Zhan Hongfei, shortening the recovery period and jumping right back into cultivation, was practically torturing himself.

Therefore, painful grunts would always be heard from First-tier Sky each day, followed by the sight of Zhan Hongfei returning in a battered state, with faint traces of blood seeping from his body.

Of course, such masochistic cultivation did improve Zhan Hongfei’s strength quite a bit; he could now cultivate in First-tier Sky for 270 breaths.

"This is really interesting," Xiao Ye chuckled internally, always heading to First-tier Sky after Zhan Hongfei.

To others, Xiao Ye’s actions undoubtedly seemed like he was picking a fight with Zhan Hongfei, trying to push him down.

With deliberate control, Xiao Ye gradually increased his cultivation time in First-tier Sky, staying neck and neck with Zhan Hongfei, reaching 270 breaths.

Zhan Hongfei, thus greatly provoked, shortened his recovery period even further, entering First-tier Sky twice a day, his perseverance shocking.

"Is Zhan Hongfei seeking death?"

Even Leng Feng frowned and scolded, before his gaze turned icy, looking towards the innocent-looking Xiao Ye.

Indeed, Xiao Ye was quite innocent; after all, he had no intention of competing with Zhan Hongfei, it was entirely the latter’s one-sided wish.

Finally, one day after a month, Zhan Hongfei staggered out of First-tier Sky, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and fainted on the spot, so shocking that even a Golden Robed Elder was alerted.

After a check, the Golden Robed Elder couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

Due to frequently entering First-tier Sky, Zhan Hongfei had sustained many internal injuries and needed at least two months to recover.

Had Zhan Hongfei completely wrecked himself?

Everyone felt sympathy because, in another one and a half months, it would be the day the Black Robed Elder would take on direct disciples.

Zhan Hongfei had had a great chance, but now he was likely to miss it.

Before leaving, the Golden Robed Elder handed Zhan Hongfei’s Chongyang Token to Xiao Ye, as with Zhan Hongfei’s current condition, he couldn’t possibly keep the token.

Without any effort at all, Xiao Ye was promoted to third in rank among the inner sect disciples, making many of them stare dumbfounded and then curse loudly, jealous of Xiao Ye’s fortune.

Now, the one who couldn’t sit still was Zhang Huwei, ranked second.

Xiao Ye had only been in the First Zone for a short while, first stepping on Qiu Hui and now having wrecked Zhan Hongfei, and he could no longer remain calm.

But at this moment, Xiao Ye had already left the Chongyang Secret Realm.

"Blindly enduring hardships sometimes only brings the opposite effect." Xiao Ye, having profoundly understood the importance of actual combat in Death Swamp, decided to leave the Chongyang Secret Realm.

"And I’m confident that before the recruitment of direct disciples, I can elevate my cultivation to the late stage of the Sixth Level of Innate Realm, I have plenty of time," Xiao Ye said with full confidence.

At this point, his cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Sixth Level of Innate Realm, and his Physical Body Power had also made significant breakthroughs, his strength absolutely not inferior to Zhang Huwei, ranked second!

"Just endure quietly for one more month, then even Leng Feng, ranked first, I can challenge! By that time, I won’t have any concerns," Xiao Ye had already planned his time well.

Keep low for another month to elevate his strength, and during the last half a month, he could unleash himself and cultivate in First-tier Sky freely.

By then, who knows what expressions those inner sect disciples would show?

"I’m really looking forward to it," Xiao Ye smiled slightly, then stepped out of the Chongyang Secret Realm, heading towards a mountain peak.

At the summit of that mountain peak, a magnificent palace was built.

Indeed, his current mission was to seek battle with that mysterious green-clothed girl, which would be greatly beneficial to him.

Xiao Ye hadn’t forgotten the brutal scene he had suffered within that palace; furthermore, the opponent was likely a direct disciple.

What an incredibly rare opportunity to have a direct disciple as a sparring partner!

"Hmph, even if she is a direct disciple? Currently, my Martial Arts True Intent has reached 30%, and I can even integrate it into the Heaven Burning Slash; I’d like to see how big our gap still is now!"

Martial Arts True Intent was his strongest attack method.

If he were to unleash the Heaven Burning Slash, even Leng Feng might not be his match, such was the fearsome nature of Martial Arts True Intent, and he didn’t believe that Leng Feng could comprehend 30% of the Martial Arts True Intent.

Xiao Ye, carrying the Heavenly Termination Saber, reached the summit of the mountain and pushed open the grand doors of the palace.

That mysterious green-clothed girl had once said that on every 15th of the month, she would be meditating in this palace, and today just happened to be mid-month.

As expected, when Xiao Ye walked into the palace, he immediately spotted the girl in the green dress, sitting cross-legged on the floor, her back facing him.
