Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 249 - 247: The Third Martial Arts True Intent

Chapter 249: Chapter 247: The Third Martial Arts True Intent

In the second passage, strands of golden light transformed into peerless divine weapons that shattered the void, charging towards Xiao Ye, completely engulfing his figure.

"This must be some sort of array; I’m afraid even a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of Fifth Transition Xuanwu would struggle against it." Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed with intensity as he felt a strong pressure.

Boom!

Two Xuandans inside Xiao Ye simultaneously revived, surging with a tremendous force that blocked the incoming golden radiance, providing him much relief.

"There is no array protecting the first passage, yet there is one here, which means there must be a significant treasure at the end of this channel! Moreover, these arrays seem to have been set up by the people from Heavenly Slaughter Island." A look of anticipation flickered across Xiao Ye’s eyes.

Actually, he didn’t know that there had indeed been an array protecting the first passage, but it had been destroyed by Zhang Qingyuan and others.

As Xiao Ye continued forward, the power of the array grew stronger, and he once again felt the strain, but the end of the passage was within sight.

Tap!

Half an hour later, Xiao Ye finally made his way out of the passage and the area covered by the array, entering a desolate palace.

"Why is there nothing here!" Disappointment swept over Xiao Ye’s face. Could it be that the treasure in the second palace had been taken away? Then why would the people from Heavenly Slaughter Island still set up an array?

"What is that?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened as he noticed a painting hanging on the wall of the palace.

Drawn with simple lines, it portrayed a man in a green robe, looking like a scholar as he stood with hands behind his back, gazing up into heaven, exuding an unrestrained and carefree aura.

At the bottom of the painting, there were three small characters written - Yun Feiyang.

"Yun Feiyang, could that be this person’s name?" Xiao Ye muttered to himself before walking towards the painting.

Only one painting was present in the second palace, which was quite odd; he naturally wanted to take a closer look.

Boom!

As Xiao Ye approached within ten feet of the painting, suddenly a loud bang occurred, and a terrifying hurricane explosively emerged from the painting, like a boiling flood, creating a world engulfed by fierce wind that swallowed Xiao Ye.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ye didn’t expect the painting to have such power; he was completely unprepared.

Swish, swish, swish!

The hurricane slashed at his body like a series of sharp knives, forcing Xiao Ye to burst forth with power to form a defense against the howling wind.

The scholar in the painting seemed to come to life, stepping out from the painting to stand at the center of the hurricane, appearing like a Heavenly God, majestic and untouchable.

When the gaze of the scholar fell upon him, Xiao Ye was struck with horror, for the cultivation of the other was definitely beyond the Xuanwu Realm.

"That’s not right!"

A thought flashed through Xiao Ye’s mind; he distinctly sensed the presence of Martial Arts True Intent emanating from the man.

"Could it be... This is the secret technique that allows a Martial Artist to rapidly comprehend Martial Arts True Intent?" Xiao Ye’s face lit up with excitement, unexpectedly stumbling upon the method used by Martial Artists of Heavenly Slaughter Island to reach the pinnacle of Xuanwu.

Clearly, this painting was left by the owner of the cave, serving as the medium for Martial Arts True Intent.

Since the people of Heavenly Slaughter Island could use this painting to quickly grasp Martial Arts True Intent, so could he.

"The Martial Arts True Intent here must definitely be related to wind."

With this thought, Xiao Ye unleashed all his strength, pushing forward against the pressure of the fierce winds.

Within the world of the fierce wind, as Xiao Ye neared the man in the green robe, the aura of Martial Arts True Intent grew increasingly intense.

It has to be said that the master of the painting seemed to have no intention of making things difficult, allowing even an Innate Martial Artist to approach.

When Xiao Ye reached the side of the man in the green robe, a very unique fluctuation rushed towards Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ye’s body trembled, feeling as if his mind was filled with information, about to explode.

"This is the inspiration of Martial Arts True Intent!" Xiao Ye took a deep breath, trying diligently to organize the torrent of information, his eyes suddenly sparkling.

What a rare opportunity this was! As long as he thoroughly comprehended this information, he would naturally possess a third type of Martial Arts True Intent and resurrect the third Dead Xuan Pill.

Not hesitating, Xiao Ye sat down cross-legged beside the man, earnestly beginning his comprehension.

Rumble!

As Xiao Ye’s comprehension progressed, two kinds of Martial Arts True Intent burst forth from his body, intertwining red light with yellow, beginning to repel the third type of Martial Arts True Intent.

In the True Spirit Continent, there are many types of Martial Arts True Intent, and different kinds inevitably repel each other.

"Four Profound Treasure Technique!" Xiao Ye shouted, beginning to operate his Cultivation Technique.

As the Four Profound Treasure Technique circulated, the repelling forces of Flame True Intent and Earth True Intent started to weaken, and Xiao Ye’s understanding of the third type of Martial Arts True Intent deepened gradually.

In this world, only the raging winds tormented.

When three days passed, Xiao Ye emitted a blue light, followed by a small tornado swirling around him.

This was exactly the sign of mastering Martial Arts True Intent and its substantial manifestation.

Ten percent!

Twenty percent!

Thirty percent!

...

Xiao Ye’s understanding of the third kind of Martial Arts True Intent became deeper and deeper.

When two months passed, Xiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils emitting a cyan light.

"The third kind of Martial Arts True Intent should be called the Wind Martial Arts True Intent, and the third Xuandan has also revived!" Xiao Ye excitedly said, the third Xuandan within his body emitting a cyan light, containing the True Intent of Wind.

He slightly raised his hand, and immediately, the full ten percent of Wind Martial Arts True Intent soared into the sky, stirring up gales and confronting the hurricane of this world.

Boom!

After a series of loud booming noises, this world began to collapse.

"Thank you, Senior Yun Feiyang!" Back in the palace, Xiao Ye respectfully bowed to the man in the scroll.

The scroll remained unchanged, just like before.

"Should I take this scroll with me?" Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then dismissed the idea.

He planned to take the scroll to the Xiao Alliance, to help his clan quickly reach the peak of the Xuanwu Realm.

But carrying the scroll was too inconvenient, and on his journey to the True Spirit Continent, he might encounter even more precious treasures.

If really necessary, he could take the scroll when he returned to the True Spirit Continent.

"The third Xuandan has revived, but its level is still too low, it does not enhance my strength much. Once I take the treasure of the third pathway, I will go refine the Primordial Stones for cultivation." Xiao Ye made up his mind, walked out of the palace, and started to head back through the second pathway.

Having comprehended the Martial Arts True Intent in the second palace, he was extremely expectant of what the third pathway held.

It wasn’t long before Xiao Ye arrived at a fork in the road, then turned towards the third pathway.

"The third pathway, there should be an Array guarding it too." Xiao Ye looked around vigilantly, taking every step with extreme caution.

The third pathway was very narrow and long, and Xiao Ye didn’t know where it led. He walked for an entire day without reaching the end, and nothing happened.

Just when Xiao Ye began to lower his guard—

Boom!

The ground suddenly trembled, and a series of peerless Divine Weapons formed from the void, their Killing Aura explosively shooting towards Xiao Ye, terrifyingly formidable.

"Hmph, it’s this kind of Array again!" Xiao Ye slightly smiled; he had already experienced this in the second pathway, so he was not worried at all.

Pfft!

But soon, a sharp pain struck him, causing Xiao Ye’s complexion to drastically change because a Heavenly Blade had materialized out of the void. It nearly breached his defenses in the blink of an eye, then fiercely slashed at his right arm, revealing stark white bone and blood flowed profusely.

"What!

Xiao Ye was utterly horrified, and he burst back a hundred steps, evading other Divine Weapons’ attacks, and moved out of the area covered by the Array.

The intense pain caused sweat to roll down Xiao Ye’s forehead. If he hadn’t dodged quickly, it wouldn’t have been just this arm at risk, but his life might have been lost here too.

"Hell! Heavenly Slaughter Island must have done this on purpose!" Xiao Ye roared angrily.

This Array was very similar to the one in the second pathway, but its power had increased by at least five times.

Any Martial Artist who had been through the second pathway would likely underestimate this Array and then die here.

"So sinister!" Xiao Ye hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique, momentarily stabilizing the injury on his right arm.

Since Heavenly Slaughter Island has set up such an Array, the treasure in this pathway must far surpass the second palace.

Keep in mind, his current strength could compare with a Mid Stage Fifth Transition Xuanwu Martial Artist, and if combined with the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, he could slay Late Stage Fifth Transition Xuanwu Martial Artists.

His strong strength still got him injured, showcasing the terror of this Array.

Xiao Ye stood there, his expression fluctuating darkly.

To get through this Array, he could either rush through using his strength like in the second pathway or decipher the Array.

But judging by the power of the Array just now, it was impossible for him to rush through, and he knew nothing about Arrays.

"It seems I have to first refine the Primordial Stones and raise the level of the third Yuan Dan before attempting this Array again." Thinking this, Xiao Ye started retracing his steps.

"Woof woof!"

Little White in the first palace, seeing Xiao Ye return, cheered and pounced towards him. The past two-plus months had been tough on him.

When he saw the wound on Xiao Ye’s right arm, worry shone in his eyes.

"Little guy, I’m okay."

Xiao Ye patted Little White’s head, then sat down cross-legged on the ground and first began using his power to heal his injuries.

For a Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist who had reached peak Xuanwu, the Xuanwu Power generated inside their body made healing injuries quite simple. The ferocious wound on Xiao Ye’s right arm visibly recovered at a visible rate.

Half a month later, when Xiao Ye’s injuries had mostly healed, he began to cultivate using Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

Boom!

The cyan Xuandan inside Xiao Ye’s body, like a fierce spirit, devoured the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi flowing into his body.

With the miraculous effect of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye refined the Mid-grade Primordial Stones quickly, and the level of the third Xuandan skyrocketed.
