Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 382 - 380: Back to the Battlefield

Chapter 382: Chapter 380: Back to the Battlefield

Inside the belly of the mountain, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the third layer of the Time Tower.

The Four Emperor Skills were profound and vast, each word shining like a pearl. Just the Void Martial Scroll alone contained deep True Intent, evolving into a Supreme True Method, pouring down like the Nine Heavens Galaxy with a dazzling silver brilliance and a majestic momentum that struck directly into the sea of Xiao Ye’s heart, allowing him only a vague understanding of how to cultivate in the Void Martial Realm. As for the deeper contents, he was temporarily unable to comprehend them.

"No wonder the Empress said that merging the Emperor Road is a path even she had to give up. It’s unimaginable how difficult the King Martial Scroll and Emperor Martial Scroll could be."

Xiao Ye took out a Top-grade Essence Stone, and as four Grotto Heavens, each swallowing and exhaling light, rose behind him, massive and pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were devoured by the Grotto Heavens, igniting endless Divine Light inside.

The Void Martial Realm utilizes the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to nourish the Grotto Heavens, thereafter allowing the Grotto Heavens to slowly evolve and level up, and in return, nourish oneself.

Furthermore, having advanced into the Void Martial Realm, acupoints no longer serve their function and are no longer the bridge for Martial Artists to communicate with Heaven and Earth, instead, replaced by Grotto Heavens.

Thus, Xiao Ye has now freed himself from the influence of his acupoint talents, and with the assistance of the Time Tower, his starting point would be much higher than others.

However, similarly, his Four Grotto Heavens require much more cultivation resources to level up than others, like a bottomless pit, and perhaps only Central State could help him fill it.

Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s expression shifted; he actually deduced a ’Pocket World Secret Technique’ from the Four Emperors’ Void Martial Scroll, which allows the Four Grotto Heavens and four kinds of consciousness to merge briefly.

Before this, Xiao Ye had tried and, after advancing to the Void Martial Realm, received the ’Returning to Primitiveness Technique’ from the Sky Breaking King Realm which no longer worked because having all Four Grotto Heavens manifest was too terrifying—a regular secret technique could not conceal the aura.

Xiao Ye was troubled by this fact—what if he exposed the secret of the Four Grotto Heavens during combat?

But now, this Pocket World Secret Technique, like an advanced version of ’Returning to Primitiveness’, filled this gap. Surely, the Supreme Empress also took this into account, thus specifically integrating this secret technique into the Four Emperor Skills.

"However, to fully comprehend this secret technique, it still requires quite a bit of time." Xiao Ye tried many times and was not successful, showing a bitter smile.

The Four Emperor Skills were like a treasure trove, yet his current digging ability was a bit too weak.

Three days of time in the external world is equivalent to three months in the third layer of the Time Tower.

Xiao Ye arranged his time wisely, aside from comprehending the Four Emperor Skills and enhancing his cultivation, he also did not neglect the understanding of the Slaughter Principle.

He found that after being backlashed by the Slaughter Principle, the Slaughter Principle did not decrease but stayed at Level 1, merely feeling a bit unfamiliar when executed.

With this lesson learned, Xiao Ye’s comprehension of the Slaughter Principle was neither urgent nor slow, paying more attention to refining his mental state to avoid being backlashed again.

Otherwise, if backlashed once more, there wouldn’t be energy left by the Sky Breaking King to help him.

"Lord Starfall mentioned that in this Dynasty Battle, there would appear a genius who has comprehended Mysterious to the First Realm, equivalent to the Two-level Slaughter Principle. I still have a significant gap..." A great pressure surged in Xiao Ye’s heart.

If he wanted to forcefully enter Central State, he must stand out in this Dynasty Battle. Perhaps with all four Grotto Heavens appearing together, combined with a Level 1 Slaughter Principle, he could match such a genius.

Thus, the priority now was to comprehend that Pocket World Secret Technique first.

Time flowed like water, three days in the external world passed in a blink, and Xiao Ye only comprehended a small part of the Pocket World Secret Technique, still unable to cultivate it.

"It’s time to go to the Heavenly God Dynasty, Yaya, we will meet soon." Xiao Ye stood up, stepped out of the mountain belly, left the mountain range, and flew towards the Royal City.

Overall, his gains this time were substantial, filling him with confidence about the future.

Returning to the Royal City, Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then directly headed to Genius Camp. After all, this time leaving might mean not seeing each other for a long time; he wanted to say a proper farewell.

Anyway, for Lord Starfall, finding him in the Royal City would be very simple; it didn’t matter where he was.

"Xiao Ye, you lad are finally back."

Just as he entered Genius Camp, Jiu Zhu, carrying a longsword on his back, spotted him and came over, walking on air.

"Jiu Zhu." Xiao Ye smiled, and the two talked while walking side by side towards the interior of Genius Camp.

"Xiao Ye!"

"Wow, it really is Xiao Ye, he is the first in this Kingdom Battle, the top of the young generation!"

"Ah, to think I joined the Genius Camp a year earlier than Xiao Ye..."

Along the path, members of the Genius Camp, seeing Xiao Ye walking shoulder to shoulder with Jiu Zhu, showed admiration.

Now, Xiao Ye in Genius Camp was an absolute legend; his deeds were already widely celebrated across Starfall Kingdom, considered an idol chased by countless youths.

"Xiao Ye..."

Dragon Hunting Team members rushed over upon hearing the news, and all of them became excited when they saw Xiao Ye. However, their expressions quickly turned to sadness.

Because they knew, this might be the last farewell. Xiao Ye’s status was now extraordinary, standing at the peak among the East State Youth Generation, his entry into Central State was almost guaranteed.

From now on, they would be living in two different worlds.

"Xiao Ye, make sure you don’t forget us once you make it big in Central State!" Kuang Dao said with emotion, patting Xiao Ye on the shoulder.

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered. Since arriving in the True Spirit Continent, he didn’t have many friends, but Kuang Dao was one of them.

Thinking this, Xiao Ye took out a High Grade Essence Stone from his Space Ring and handed it over: "Kuang Dao, this is for you."

"What is this?" Kuang Dao took it unconsciously, and when he felt the overwhelming surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the High Grade Essence Stone, he was so startled that he almost threw it away.

"Xiao...Xiao Ye, this is..." Kuang Dao trembled, stuttering, a thought that almost made him faint crossed his mind, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud and just clenched it tightly in his hand.

"You must have guessed it." Xiao Ye smiled slightly, then took out a Void Artifact that he had snatched from Jinpengzi and walked over to Qing Wu.

"Qing Wu, this sword is more suitable for a woman, I’ll give it to you," Xiao Ye said.

"Hmph, you have some conscience, you haven’t forgotten this lady." Qing Wu rolled her eyes at Xiao Ye and quickly took the longsword.

Xiao Ye was speechless, he was giving away a treasure, and yet Qing Wu still blamed him?

"Xiao Ye, with your current strength, entering the top 500 in the Dynasty Battle should be no problem. I’m in a good mood, so I’ll remind you not to stand out too much during the Dynasty Battle, nor be too meddlesome or greedy. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. As long as you can break into the top 500, I assure you can enter one of the top forces in Central State!"

Qing Wu looked favorably with her bright eyes fixed on Xiao Ye, conveying her power through voice transmission.

Xiao Ye frowned slightly, this wasn’t the first time he heard such words, but what confidence did Qing Wu have to say this?

Just like last time, before Xiao Ye could ask further, Qing Wu had already left, flying away with the longsword.

"Brother Xiao, congratulations on your promotion to the Void Martial Realm."

Just then, a serene voice came, and Xiao Ye looked up to see Nangong Xingyu in his flowing robe, stepping through the air, looking very transcendent, as if merged with the void, addressing Xiao Ye as an equal.

"Brother Nangong." Xiao Ye clasped his hands in return, suddenly feeling somewhat shocked.

According to reason, with four Cave Heavens opened and having comprehended the First Level Slaughter Law, crushing Jun Shitian should have been easy, and he should be much stronger than Nangong Xingyu.

But after not seeing him for just over a month, Nangong Xingyu in front of him now gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth, even more terrifying than Jun Shitian.

Could it be that in such a short time, Nangong Xingyu’s strength had undergone a drastic change?

Suddenly, Xiao Ye recalled that during the time in the Sky Breaking King Realm, Nangong Xingyu had snatched a treasure from Jun Shitian’s hands. Could it be because of this that Nangong Xingyu’s strength had greatly increased?

Thinking this, Xiao Ye’s eyes brightened, and he sent a thread of Consciousness sweeping over.

"Xiao Ye, casually probing other’s secrets is not a good habit." Nangong Xingyu’s mouth curved slightly, and Xiao Ye’s Consciousness went straight through his body, as if he did not exist at all.

"What!" Xiao Ye was stunned, what kind of method was this?

"Xiao Ye, there are some things in this world that you can’t anticipate. You don’t need to delve deep. After the Dynasty Battle is over, I will tell you some things." Nangong Xingyu’s hair danced in the wind, his voice transmitted with power.

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered and he remained silent for a moment, then nodded, no longer speaking.

Boom!

At that moment, an ancient war chariot dragging a huge battleship flew out from the Sky City, its momentum overwhelming, crushing Heaven and pressing down over Genius Camp.

"Xiao Ye, Nangong Xingyu, Mo Ye, it’s a long journey to the Heavenly God Dynasty, I will send you there," Lord Starfall’s voice echoed from within.

This time, neither Jiu Zhu nor Fu Xuedao and the others went, only Xiao Ye and two others boarded the battleship, like a bolt of lightning, swiftly cutting through Heaven and leaving the Royal City.

"Yaya, we will meet again very soon." Xiao Ye, sitting cross-legged on the battleship, looked around at the rapidly passing scenery and thought to himself.

(ps: Let me explain that among the Three Great Laws, the Slaughter Principle is the most special, divided into One hundred levels, while other Mysteries are divided into Five Realms.

A First Level in the Mystery Realm is equivalent to two levels of the Slaughter Principle and so on. The Slaughter Principle that the Sky Breaking King comprehended had reached Level 30, but I initially wrote as Level 10, which was my mistake, which I have corrected and that should not affect reading.

The curtain for the Heavenly God Dynasty Battle is about to open, and stronger opponents will appear. I hope everyone can cast their recommendation and monthly tickets.)
