Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 130 - 128 Training Guardian

Chapter 130: Chapter 128 Training Guardian

As a powerful force on par with the Chongyang Sect, the Sun and Moon Sect’s unique skills are extraordinary.

Xiao Ye flipped through the booklet in his hand.

The Sun and Moon Seal Technique, a top-tier combat technique of the fifth grade, includes the Great Sun Seal and the Lonely Moon Seal. When both seals are deployed together, their attack power is considered the strongest combat technique in the Innate Realm!

"A top-tier combat technique of the fifth grade, and furthermore, the strongest combat technique in the Innate Realm!" Xiao Ye was full of excitement.

The strongest combat technique he currently possessed was the Heaven Burning Slash, which incorporated 40% of the Flame True Intent, but its grade had not yet reached the fifth grade, let alone compared to the top-tier combat technique of the fifth grade.

If he could master the Sun and Moon Seal Technique, his strength would increase dramatically!

"Looking at the major forces in the Black Dragon Country, this combat technique is considered top-tier. The difficulty must also be high." Xiao Ye thought to himself.

He Wufa, whom he killed, went to great lengths to capture Postnatal Martial Artists for practice to cultivate the Sun and Moon Seal Technique, which showed how difficult it was.

"But no matter how difficult it is, I don’t have to worry because I have the Time Tower." Xiao Ye smiled slightly.

Relying on the accumulation of time, he would inevitably succeed in cultivation.

Xiao Ye continued to read and discovered that the Great Sun Seal in the Sun and Moon Seal Technique had a minimum cultivation requirement of the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm, while the strongest Lonely Moon Seal required a minimum cultivation of the Innate Realm Ninth Layer.

"I can start cultivating the Great Sun Seal now!" Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed as he memorized the content of the Great Sun Seal and then immersed his consciousness into the Time Tower, arriving at the Second Layer.

Xiao Ye began his intense cultivation again.

After half a month, Xiao Ye had cultivated inside the Time Tower for ten months.

In the room, Xiao Ye was sitting cross-legged with a primordial stone in his hand, fully absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within it.

Boom!

Suddenly, the aura that burst from Xiao Ye surged higher, and the waves of tremendous power swept out, reducing all the tables and chairs in the room to powder.

"Mid-stage Innate Realm Seventh Layer!" Xiao Ye opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "And the Great Sun Seal Technique, although not yet Perfect, has been cultivated to the Great Success Level. Now let’s test its power."

No doubt, the Time Tower is simply a heaven-defying cheat.

Xiao Ye stood up and walked out of the house, eagerly heading to an open space.

"Great Sun Seal Technique!"

Xiao Ye shouted, using his hands to form a peculiar seal, causing the crystal in his dantian to tremble and channel surging Innate True Qi into the seal.

Boom!

It was as if a blazing sun rose, emitting an incredibly intense light that was impossible to look at directly, with terrifying waves of power shaking the Nine-layered Heaven.

Boom!

Xiao Ye pushed his palms forward, shaking the ground as a faux mountain a hundred steps away was instantly blasted to pieces, leaving the ground riddled with potholes and arm-thick cracks spreading.

"Such powerful might!" Xiao Ye was thrilled.

With the strength of the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, deploying the Great Sun Seal to defeat even the late-stage Eighth Level Innate Realm martial artist is not difficult.

One must know, after reaching the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm, the gap between each realm becomes increasingly vast, making even challenging a small realm difficult, let alone crossing a large realm.

Therefore, Xiao Ye is exceptionally formidable now, and if this news spreads, it will undoubtedly cause a massive sensation.

"Mr. Xiao, my lord, the County Master has summoned you." At this moment, a servant walked in, full of astonishment as he noticed the mess around.

Xiao Ye nodded; today was indeed the agreed day with Baili Wushang.

"It seems Mr. Xiao’s strength is not any weaker than the young talents in the county. No wonder the County Master would ask him to protect the County Master Junior." The servant reflected for a while and quickly followed him.

The servant led Xiao Ye to the entrance of a grand hall and then stopped.

"Mr. Xiao, the County Master is inside," the servant said.

"Thank you." Xiao Ye nodded and stepped into the great hall, greeted by young maids carrying delicacies, placing them on the long table in the hall.

Baili Wushang, sitting on the main seat, smiled and greeted Xiao Ye immediately upon seeing him.

"Nephew Xiao, come and sit." Baili Wushang pulled Xiao Ye down to sit, and immediately a maid served up delicious food and drinks.

At this moment, a disdainful voice sounded: "Grandfather, is this the person you found for my sister? Looking at him, how capable can he be?"

Xiao Ye turned his head in confusion to see a fifteen-year-old boy looking at him with disdain, as if to say, "You’re not up to much."

Being disdained by a youngster, Xiao Ye was speechless.

"Yi’er, don’t be rude!" Baili Wushang scolded with a stern face.

The boy snorted and turned his head away, focusing on devouring the delicacies before him, seemingly sulking.

"Big brother, you’re probably not even at the early stage of the Eighth Layer of the Innate Realm, right?" At this time, a gentle voice sounded, and a delicate girl came up to Xiao Ye.

Her big eyes twinkled as she kept scrutinizing Xiao Ye.

"Yan’er, why are you like your brother? Go sit down." Baili Wushang, looking somewhat troubled.

But the girl didn’t buy it and insisted, "Grandfather, I heard the Hong Family sent Hong Lie as the training guardian for the younger generation this time."

"Hong Lie is at the late stage of the Eighth Layer Innate Realm and ranks 107th on the Hidden Dragon List in Black Dragon Country. This big brother certainly can’t compare. You should replace him with a stronger guardian, or else our County Master’s Manor will lose face." She shook Baili Wushang’s arm incessantly.

Training Guardian?

Xiao Ye suddenly understood that it seemed all the prominent families in the County would send someone to protect the younger generation going to train in the Cold Moon Mountain Range.

And the strength of the training guardian became a capital of comparison among the younger generation from major families.

Being repeatedly disdained, Xiao Ye was amused.

Baili Wushang sternly said, "Taking you to the Cold Moon Mountain Range is for training, not for showing off! Nephew Xiao’s strength is more than enough to protect you!"

"That’s settled then. In an hour, you all head to the Cold Moon Mountain Range!"

It must be said, Baili Wushang’s stern demeanor indeed carried some authority.

The girl stamped her foot angrily and went back.

"Nephew Xiao, these two little ones have been spoiled by me, please don’t mind." Baili Wushang smiled wryly.

Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "It’s fine. In the Cold Moon Mountain Range, I’ll take good care of them."

With his current strength, he naturally wouldn’t fuss over such matters, especially since Baili Wushang had shown him great kindness.

Baili Wushang laughed heartily, "Haha, with Nephew Xiao’s assurance, I’m relieved."

He then introduced Xiao Ye to his grandson and granddaughter. The boy was named Baili Yi and was born slightly before the girl, Baili Yan, making them fraternal twins.

An hour later, under Baili Wushang’s stern gaze, Baili Yi and Baili Yan reluctantly followed behind Xiao Ye out of the County Master Manor.

"Hmph, kid, when you reach the training gathering place, you’d better not speak out of turn, or I’ll take you down!" Baili Yi said viciously to Xiao Ye shortly after they left the County Master Manor.

Xiao Ye couldn’t help but laugh, glancing sidelong at Baili Yi, feeling an urge to give him a good beating.

"Alas, Baili Yi, when we get to the gathering point, we’re bound to be laughed at." Baili Yan feigned a deep sigh, looking amusingly pretentious.

But Baili Yi became furious, "Baili Yan, how many times have I told you, I’m your brother, call me brother!"

However, Baili Yan pouted, "You fight with me for food every day, and you still have the nerve to ask me to call you brother?"

Baili Yi: ...

...

Following Baili Wushang’s instructions, Xiao Ye quickly brought the two little ones to the training gathering place.

This was a circular square with the stone carvings of two giant ferocious beasts standing imposingly at the entrance.

When Baili Yi and Baili Yan walked in, the place suddenly quieted down, with countless eyes looking their way.

As the grandchildren of the County Master of Dashen County, naturally, they attracted much attention.

Xiao Ye followed them in, scanning the area to find that quite a few people had already gathered in the square. Each one was well-dressed, appearing to be from noble backgrounds, standing amongst their groups.

Xiao Ye roughly estimated that there were ten teams in the square, indicating that ten martial arts families from the County were participating in the training.

In front of each team stood a young man, each exuding an extraordinary aura.

Needless to say, these young men were this time’s training guardians, all young talents from the County.

However, as the guardian of the County Master’s Manor’s heirs, Xiao Ye attracted even more attention.

"Hehe, Baili Yi, Baili Yan, what level is your training guardian’s strength?" At this time, a slightly chubby youth spoke, with a mocking smile on his face.

"It’s Fatty Hong from the Hong Family! This guy always opposes me!" Baili Yi’s face turned gloomy, and then he turned to lowly instruct Xiao Ye, "Kid, without my permission, you better not speak!"

Xiao Ye was a bit speechless, as Baili Yi really treated him like a servant.

Seeing Baili Yi remain silent, the chubby boy became even more complacent: "Our Hong Family’s guardian is Brother Hong Lie. Just a few days ago, he was ranked 107th on the Black Dragon Country’s Hidden Dragon List!"

Hong Lie!

Hearing the name, Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly, focusing on a young man in repose at the front of the Hong Family’s team.

The youth exuded a cold and arrogant aura, seemingly indifferent to everyone around him.

"A mere late-stage Eighth Layer Innate Realm, not a match for me." Xiao Ye glanced at the youth then shifted his gaze away.

The chubby boy’s words made Baili Yi’s face even more sullen, and he clenched his teeth, ignoring the taunts.

"Baili Yi, Baili Yan, you are the County Master’s grandchildren. Surely, the guardian sent for your training wouldn’t be too weak, right? Tell us, what is his cultivation level?" The chubby boy pushed, pressing further.

"Yeah, Baili Yi, what’s your guardian’s cultivation level?"

Other youths from the teams began to join in the heckling, creating a ruckus, but Baili Yi and Baili Yan still kept silent.

Xiao Ye slightly furrowed his brow and coldly said, "You are too loud. Since they are unwilling to say, let me tell you. I am currently at the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm."

As soon as these words were uttered, the place went silent, followed shortly by a burst of laughter.

"The prestigious heir of the County Master’s Manor’s training guardian is only at the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm?" Many youths bent over with laughter, their faces full of ridicule.
