Chapter 283: Chapter 281: Monument Spirit Resolves Doubts

Within the space of the Void Martial Saint Tablet, Xiao Ye floated, carefully sensing the differences of the Void Martial Realm.

"The consciousness of a Void Martial Realm expert seems to be an advanced version of Martial Arts True Intent, more condensed and with a larger detection range." From within Xiao Ye’s body, three powerful streams of consciousness surged toward the heavens, probing the surroundings like tendrils.

In an instant, everything within a hundred miles was clearly fed back into Xiao Ye’s mind, as if it was within his sight.

It should be noted that a Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist’s Martial Arts True Intent can only detect a surrounding area of a hundred meters, and the detection is very vague.

Compared to other Void Martial Realm Martial Artists, Xiao Ye was different because he had comprehended three kinds of Martial Arts True Intent, hence three streams of consciousness were born, making his detection even more meticulous, allowing nothing to escape.

This feeling of controlling everything excited Xiao Ye greatly.

"Let’s take another look at the Grotto-Heavens evolved from the Xuandan." Xiao Ye thought to himself, and three Cave Heavens appeared around him, encircling him in the middle.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye had specifically chosen a secluded place, and since the other people in the Holy Tablet Space were all seizing the opportunity to comprehend, nobody noticed this scene.

Xiao Ye released three streams of consciousness, probing towards the Three Cave Heavens.

The moment his consciousness entered the Fire Cave Heaven, overwhelming flames swept towards him.

"These flames are all formed by the materialization of the Flame Martial Arts True Intent!" After Xiao Ye’s consciousness explored, he was immediately shocked.

The Fire Cave Heaven was another space, like a world that had just begun to be nurtured, filled with flames.

To construct so many worlds of flame, how much Flame Martial Arts True Intent would it take to open up such a world? This was definitely not something a Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist could accomplish.

The feedback from the other two streams of consciousness that Xiao Ye had was mostly the same.

"Opening up a Cave Heaven, could this be the condition for ascending to the Void Martial Realm, as Zong Gui mentioned?" Xiao Ye muttered to himself, his heart starting to feel excitement.

If he figured out how to open up a Cave Heaven, wouldn’t advancing to the Void Martial Realm in the future be extremely easy?

Thinking this, Xiao Ye carefully probed.

A vast light enveloped Xiao Ye, with the sound of the Tao booming around him, and inspiration continuously surged into Xiao Ye’s heart, resonating with the Holy Tablet Space.

In that moment, a vague shadow took a step out and appeared before Xiao Ye.

"In the True Spirit Continent, only when one kind of understanding reaches ten leaps, can one aim for the Xuanwu. But the Xuanwu Realm is just the foundation realm for stepping onto the peak of Martial Arts."

Seeing the vague shadow, Xiao Ye was shocked: "Who are you?"

"I am the Monument Spirit of the Void Martial Saint Tablet. Every Martial Artist who enters the Holy Tablet Space can receive my guidance," said the vague shadow.

Monument Spirit!

Xiao Ye trembled, his eyes bursting with intense light.

This Void Martial Saint Tablet is truly a treasure. Not only can it allow Martial Artists to momentarily advance to the Void Martial Realm, but it also has a Monument Spirit to answer doubt, such treatment is much better than being instructed by a Void Martial Realm expert.

"No wonder the senior Zong Gui sent me here," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

Xiao Ye straightened up and gave a respectful bow to the Monument Spirit: "Please guide me, senior."

"You are extraordinarily gifted, having comprehended three types of Martial Arts True Intent at the same time, which is not a good thing for your future."

"I advise you to give up two types of Martial Arts True Intent, otherwise you will be stuck in the Void Martial Realm for life, because everyone’s life is limited. Of course, I am just advising you, in the end, you must make your own choice," said the Monument Spirit.

The Monument Spirit was able to see that he possessed three kinds of Martial Arts True Intent, and Xiao Ye did not find it surprising at all. If it did not have such ability, how could it qualify to guide him?

"Comprehending three kinds of Martial Arts True Intent, will I really be stuck in the Void Martial Realm for life?" Xiao Ye fell silent upon hearing this.

Know that there is still a Dead Xuan Pill in his body that had not been revived, and he still has to comprehend the fourth Martial Arts True Intent.

"The future is in my hands. I will not easily give up any Martial Arts True Intent. I, Xiao Ye, am on the path of the Fusion Emperor Road, aiming to become the strongest Great Emperor in the history of the True Spirit Continent!" Xiao Ye clenched his fists, his face showing a determined expression.

The more difficult the path, once one reaches the end, the greater the achievement will be. Moreover, he also has a heaven-defying treasure, Time Tower, which greatly increases his chances of completing the Fusion Emperor Road.

"Do you feel that after aiming for the Xuanwu Realm, Martial Arts True Intent loses its function and has no attack power?" The Monument Spirit didn’t wait for Xiao Ye to answer and continued.

"Yes," Xiao Ye nodded.

For instance, after aiming for Xuanwu, Martial Arts True Intent became a means of detection, because at this level of cultivation, the power of ten complete Martial Arts True Intent seemed rather meager, not even comparable to Sixth Grade Battle Techniques.

Sometimes, Xiao Ye even felt that Martial Arts True Intent was too insignificant, and it took a lot of time to comprehend.

"If you think so, then you are greatly mistaken," said the Monument Spirit.

Xiao Ye was full of doubt upon hearing this, vaguely feeling as if he was touching upon a completely new world.

The Monument Spirit was silent for a moment before continuing: "Martial Arts True Intent is only a seed of the Law Profound Mysteries. Only when your cultivation advances to the Void Martial Realm will this seed sprout, giving you the qualification to comprehend the Law Profound Mysteries."

"Law Profound Mysteries?" Xiao Ye’s heart stirred; it was the first time he had heard this term.

"The True Spirit Continent is a vast world where life and death, blossom and wilt, sunrise and sunset all follow a pattern, which is the Law Profound Mysteries."

"This power transcends any combat techniques and cultivation techniques. As long as you can comprehend the Law Profound Mysteries, you can even control life and death," spoke the Monument Spirit slowly, every word meaningful.

Xiao Ye’s pupils shrank violently, and a surge of astonishment rose in his heart, considerably broadening his horizons as he memorized the Monument Spirit’s words.

Had he not entered the Holy Tablet Space, he wouldn’t have learned any of this.

"Senior Monument Spirit, what are these Law Profound Mysteries?" Xiao Ye steadied his mind and inquired.

"To you right now, knowing too much might actually be harmful. Once you ascend to the Void Martial Realm, you will naturally understand," came the reply.

"All you need to remember is that among the myriad Martial Arts True Intents on the True Spirit Continent, each is but a drop in the ocean of the Law Profound Mysteries. Only by reaching the Void Martial Realm, do you qualify to elevate Martial Arts True Intent to the level of the Mysterious Rules," the Monument Spirit continued.

"As for experts in the King Martial Realm and the Emperor Martial Realm, they have already mastered powerful Law Profound Mysteries," added the Monument Spirit.

Xiao Ye nodded helplessly.

Indeed, the Law Profound Mysteries were still somewhat distant to him now, but his understanding of Martial Arts had once again deepened.

"It seems the Fusion Emperor Road qualifications left to me by the Empress must be related to the Law Profound Mysteries comprehended by the Four Emperors," Xiao Ye speculated in his heart.

And those qualifications for the Fusion Emperor Road could only be explored after he ascended to the Void Martial Realm.

Next, Xiao Ye asked the Monument Spirit many questions about the Void Martial Realm.

The Monument Spirit explained in great detail, stripping away any veil of mystery that the Void Martial Realm held before Xiao Ye.

"Right, Senior Monument Spirit, after reaching Nine Revolutions Perfection with the Xuandan, can one establish a Grotto Heaven?" Xiao Ye asked, this being his current primary concern.

"To establish a Grotto Heaven, one needs a particular set of secret techniques. Generally, all the powers across the True Spirit Continent possess them; don’t you have it?" returned the Monument Spirit.

Xiao Ye started to feel awkward upon hearing this. Coming from the Endless Sea and having joined no formidable power, how could he have the secret technique for establishing a Grotto Heaven?

"Never mind, I happen to have a set to spare, and I shall give it to you." Once the Monument Spirit finished speaking, a brilliant beam of light shot towards Xiao Ye’s mind, transforming into an information flow—the secret technique for establishing a Grotto Heaven.

"Thank you, Senior!" Xiao Ye was overjoyed.

With this set of the secret technique for establishing a Grotto Heaven, coupled with his previous inspiration, he was confident about ascending to the Void Martial Realm.

"It looks like I need to revive the fourth Xuandan as soon as possible," Xiao Ye thought to himself, feeling a sense of urgency.

The Xuanwu Realm was the foundation-building stage, and only by cultivating all four Xuandans to Nine Revolutions Perfection would he have laid the most robust foundation and become eligible to proceed on the Fusion Emperor Road, which he certainly would not forsake.

"Your time in the Holy Tablet Space is up, and you should leave now," spoke the Monument Spirit, who then disappeared before Xiao Ye.

Just then, Xiao Ye came to his senses, realizing he had unknowingly spent at least a day within the Holy Tablet Space.

Xiao Ye looked around and was immediately aware that the eight family heirs had already vanished, seemingly having left before him.

These heirs were different from him; with experts in the Void Martial Realm to guide them in their families, they surely knew far more than he did.

Boom!

At that moment, Xiao Ye’s body trembled, and the power within began to fade rapidly. The Three Cave Heavens gradually disappeared, reverting to three Xuandans with no improvement in his cultivation.

This feeling of falling from the clouds left Xiao Ye in a trance, as if it had all been a dream.

"I will definitely reach the Void Martial Realm, I hope nothing happens to Xiao Teng," Xiao Ye murmured, then headed toward the exit of the Holy Tablet Space.

Swoosh!

Soon, Xiao Ye flew out of the black hole and landed on the plaza.

The hundred-meter-high Void Martial Saint Tablet boomed loudly and gradually disappeared as if it had never existed.

The plaza was now sparsely populated, with only three families remaining. As for the Tang Family and the Yan Family, they had already left.

Xiao Ye’s expression was calm; at his current strength, he was on par with their leader-level experts. Should he choose to leave, no one could stop him.

"Xiao Ye, be careful. You’ve offended quite a few people this time. They might not be able to deal with you here, but outside, things might be different," transmitted Jian Wuchen, who hadn’t left yet.

Xiao Ye looked surprised, clearly remembering that Jian Wuchen had been quite hostile towards him before entering the Puppet Sect ruins - so why the sudden goodwill?

But as the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face, and Xiao Ye nodded in thanks.

Under the watchful eyes of the three family martial artists, Xiao Ye shot into the sky, flying towards the outer region.

"The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for the First Level of Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, Senior Zong Gui should have collected them for me, right?" Xiao Ye’s gaze was fervent, remembering the agreement he had with Zong Gui.

Once he had successfully cultivated the First Level of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, his physical body would be akin to a Xuan Artifact, significantly increasing his defensive power. Even surrounded by Xuanwu Realm martial artists, he would be able to move freely.

"Hmph, the Yan Family and Tang Family want to deal with me; they better see if they have the capability!" A cold gleam flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes.
