The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1154 - 1152: Transcendent Martial Spirit! Ghost Divine Seal!

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1152: Transcendent Martial Spirit! Ghost Divine Seal!

Bai Xiaoxiao consumed an Ascension Fruit, and her Martial Soul began to emerge above her head.

This was the first time Lin Bai had seen Bai Xiaoxiao’s Martial Soul.

Her Martial Soul was a massive seal, engraved with the four large characters "Martial Authority Granted by Heaven"!

"An Earth Grade 3 Martial Soul, the Martial Authority Seal," Lin Bai stated indifferently.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s Martial Soul was Earth Grade 3, far inferior to Jian Ruohan’s Martial Soul.

As a result, although Bai Xiaoxiao had come to the Five Peaks to undergo arduous cultivation, and though she followed Elder Wenyue, Bai Xiaoxiao’s cultivation had not progressed much over these months, having only just reached the Third Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

After consuming the Ascension Fruit, Lin Bai waited silently by her side.

Three hours later.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s Martial Soul, the Martial Authority Seal, shattered!

Following that, the originally white mist above Bai Xiaoxiao’s head now churned violently.

The white mist turned into a swath of black mist in an instant.

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, fearing something had gone wrong with Bai Xiaoxiao after taking the fruit, and his heart immediately tensed up.

But then, within the mist above Bai Xiaoxiao’s head, a black jade seal gradually began to take form.

On this seal, nine decaying Divine Dragons coiled, wailing painfully at the heavens and earth.

On the four sides of the seal, there were depictions of wailing Evil Ghosts, howling myriad demons, crying humans, and despairing Divine Spirits.

And beneath the seal, nine large characters were inscribed: Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost, all hearken to my command!

"This Martial Soul..."

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s Transcendent Martial Spirit emerge, Lin Bai trembled all over.

At this moment, Lin Bai felt even more wary than when he saw Jian Ruohan’s Transcendent Martial Spirit!

Whoosh——

Suddenly, at this point.

The Transcendent Martial Spirit was retracted into Bai Xiaoxiao’s body, and in an instant, she opened her eyes wide, shooting out brilliant shafts of light from her pupils, while her entire being was immediately enveloped in a surging aura.

From within Bai Xiaoxiao emanated an indescribable imperial presence.

Bang!

Lin Bai was directly sent flying by this aura!

His heart was filled with trepidation!

Even from Lin Bai’s very soul, there emanated a feeling of wanting to kneel and worship!

It was as if a mortal in the realm of mortals beheld the emperor, the type of awe that inevitably led to the desire to kneel in veneration!

This aura filled Lin Bai’s Cave Mansion for nearly an hour before Bai Xiaoxiao finally retracted it into her body.

Only then did Lin Bai, still in a state of shock, look at Bai Xiaoxiao again, his face completely pale.

"Did it succeed?"

Lin Bai asked.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes, filled with astonishment, looked at Lin Bai, her pupils brimming with joy.

This demeanor resembled that of the exultant Jian Ruohan!

And at this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao’s Cultivation State had directly soared from the Third Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm to the Ninth Layer, just a step away from entering the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

"Lin Bai, do you realize how strong my Martial Soul is now?" Bai Xiaoxiao, looking at Lin Bai, asked in shock.

Lin Bai replied with a wry smile, "I don’t need to know; I’ve already witnessed the power of Jian Ruohan’s Ji Dao Ice Sword Soul!"

"Right, what’s your Transcendent Martial Spirit called now?"

Bai Xiaoxiao fixed her gaze on Lin Bai, her face involuntarily expressing a dignified aura, as if a queen was looking down on her subjects, "Ghost Divine Seal!"

"Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost, all hearken to my command!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded silently.

"Kneel down!"

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoxiao roared at Lin Bai!

Crack!

Lin Bai broke out in a cold sweat, his head reeling as if struck by lightning; from the depths of his soul surged a feeling of fear and awe!

And at that moment, Lin Bai’s legs bent involuntarily, feeling an overwhelming urge to kneel on the ground in worship...

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai roared inwardly, the power of the Sword Spirit spreading throughout his body, only then did that oppressive force gradually disappear from him.

"Xiaoxiao..." Lin Bai’s face darkened as he glared at Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao giggled and ran over, laughing, "I just wanted to test the power of the Martial Soul..."

Lin Bai said speechlessly, "Why do you all insist on using me as a test subject! I gave you the Ascension Fruits, not for you to bully me with them!"

Lin Bai expressed his grievance.

"Alright, alright, as long as you behave in the future, I won’t bully you!"

Bai Xiaoxiao came over, encircled him with her arms, hugging Lin Bai’s waist, and lifted her beautiful, delicate face, looking at him tenderly, "Lin Bai, I’ve missed you so much."

"Me too," Lin Bai smiled faintly, leaned down for a kiss, and kissed Bai Xiaoxiao’s red lips!

Afterward, Lin Bai lifted Bai Xiaoxiao in his arms and walked towards the bed...

A tempestuous interlude ensued!

Two hours later, Bai Xiaoxiao lay weakly on Lin Bai’s chest, her face still flushed with a rosy hue!

"Where have you been these past few months? When I came to the Five Peaks, I even asked Peak Master Kang Xiao to look for you, but it seems he couldn’t find you," Lin Bai asked while holding Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "After I arrived at the Five Peaks, Empress Dowager gave me a lot of Elixir Pills which allowed me to break through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm, then she said she would take me out to see the world!"

"Then the Empress Dowager took me to Lingnan..."

"You went to Lingnan? Was it fun there?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Bai Xiaoxiao spoke earnestly, "Lingnan is the place within the Territory of all nations where Martial Art is most prosperous, far surpassing Lingdong and the Miracle Ridge!"

"In Lingnan, masters abound, and the Flying Sky Realm can be seen everywhere!"

"Moreover, there are the Seventy-two Dynasties, mighty and strong, along with thousands of Sects standing tall, all showcasing an era rich in Martial Art!"

Hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s descriptions, Lin Bai felt a strong longing for Lingnan.

"If the Shenwu Kingdom could be expanded into Lingnan, that would be even better," Bai Xiaoxiao said with a hint of a smile on her face.

Hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, Lin Bai remained silent!

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed and then said, "Why don’t you talk? It’s always me speaking. What have you been doing these past few months?"

Lin Bai smiled lightly, "You... haven’t given up on the ambition of becoming an empress, have you?"

Clang!

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Lin Bai felt Bai Xiaoxiao’s heartbeat pause for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.

Ever since Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao visited the Shengyue Sect, Lin Bai had already seen her ambition to become an empress!

"I’ve already given it up. When I decided to be with you, I no longer entertained the thought," she said.

"That night, in the abandoned villa, although you told me that whatever I choose to do, you would support me..."

"But I knew that you didn’t really want to get involved in the never-ending strife of this turbulent world!"

"Lin Bai, you yearn for a peaceful and secure life, one without killing or pain!"

"You just want to find your parents and then live a secluded and modest life, right?"

Lin Bai looked up and said, "On my journey through the Martial World, I have seen too much treachery and a lack of ancient virtues!"

"Fighting for fame, for profit, for hatred—it’s too exhausting to live like that."

"..."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "So, I know you don’t want me to pursue the crown, which is why I gave up the idea that night, and once we find your parents, let’s go find a haven somewhere far away."

"Okay," Lin Bai replied promptly upon hearing her suggest that.

But.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Lin Bai both knew clearly that this day might never come, or perhaps it would come very slowly!

Because Lin Bai still had formidable enemies to face!

"Huff..." Lin Bai took a deep breath, his eyes shadowed, and the words gradually came out from between his teeth: "Giant God Clan..."

The Giant God Clan, a thorn stuck in Lin Bai’s throat!

Unable to swallow, unable to spit out!

Unless this thorn was removed, Lin Bai would never be able to live in peace!
