Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 43 - 041 Human Race Four Emperors

43: Chapter 041 Human Race Four Emperors

43 -041 Human Race Four Emperors

(The second volume begins!)

Time, like flowing water, slowly passed by, and it had been a month since Xiao Ye killed the Blood Wolf.

Xiao Ye sat cross-legged in his room, his aura pulsating and causing his robe to flutter.

Moments later, Xiao Ye’s aura suddenly surged, causing the furniture in the room to tremble loudly.

“Finally reached the Mid Stage of the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer!” Xiao Ye opened his eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, a bright light flashing in his eyes.

The battle with the Blood Wolf had given him some insights.

As a result, upon returning to the village, he immediately went into closed-door cultivation, and after his injuries had slightly healed, he began cultivating and achieved a breakthrough to the Mid Stage of the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer today.

The breakthrough in cultivation allowed his strength to more than double.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have been able to break through to this level so quickly, as there are indestructible boundary barriers between each sub-realm at his level.

Otherwise, the three village chiefs would not have been stuck at the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer for so many years.

“Also…” Xiao Ye got off the bed, his palm casually reaching forward.

Boom!

The table in front of him directly shattered.

Xiao Ye’s casual palm strike didn’t use True Qi, but it was as if it contained the power of heaven and earth, creating a strong oppression forward.

“To truly master the Martial Arts True Intent means that every casual strike can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, creating oppression on the enemy,” Xiao Ye said, his eyes shining with divine light and filled with strong confidence.

Previously, he could only mobilize the power of heaven and earth by using the Flame Saber, which was merely scratching the surface.

After the battle with the Blood Wolf, he truly mastered the Martial Arts True Intent, where every casual strike could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, without the need to use the Flame Saber.

Of course, the Flame Saber, being a Xuan Artifact, when used to harness the power of heaven and earth, would amplify the power through the artifact.

With his current strength, if he were to confront the Blood Wolf again, slaying the opponent would not be too difficult, and he would not end up severely injured.

“The Black Dragon Country’s Records mentioned that there are ten levels of understanding for each Martial Arts True Intent.”

After understanding the Martial Arts True Intent, he had studied these records in detail.

Fully comprehending ten percent of the Martial Arts True Intent is marked by being able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth and create oppressive force.

As for before, Xiao Ye could only be considered as having grasped half of the Flame True Intent.

“The second strike by the shadow in the Flame Saber World should contain a higher level of the Flame True Intent; it’s just a pity that my current cultivation level still cannot support the shadow performing the second strike,” Xiao Ye thought slightly regretfully.

According to his estimate, he would need to at least reach the Innate Realm before he could learn the Martial Arts True Intent contained in the second strike.

“Now that the Blood Wolf Gang has been annihilated, I can focus on preparing for the Chongyang Sect examination,” Xiao Ye muttered to himself.

Remembering the proud girl Liu Yiyi, his fists suddenly clenched tightly.

“You think I can’t enter the Chongyang Sect?

Then I’ll appear before you in a shocking manner!”

“And Zhao Qian, you think I’m inferior to you, then I will defeat you and wash away the humiliation you brought me!”

Now there were only three months left until the entrance examination of the Chongyang Sect, which was very pressing.

“Dad mentioned that the stronghold of the Blood Wolf Gang yielded many good things; perhaps I should see if there’s any treasure that can enhance my cultivation,” suddenly, a spark flashed in Xiao Ye’s mind, and he walked out the door.

At this time, Xiao Yang and Luo Meilan were not at home.

Since Xiao Tianxiong planned to ally with the Wu and Shi Family Villages to form the Xiao Alliance, Xiao Yang had become extraordinarily busy, and Luo Meilan was often not seen either.

“Ah, I have to eat cold meals again,” Xiao Ye sighed helplessly, wolfing down the food on the table.

After eating his fill, Xiao Ye walked out the door, and what appeared before his eyes was a bustling scene.

“Haven’t you people eaten?

Hurry up!”

Xiao Dashan, missing an arm, glared as he directed the villagers, who were carrying thick logs and heavy stones, to build houses.

Xiao Family Village was being expanded; rows of new buildings were rising from the ground, ready to accommodate the residents of Shi Family Village and Wu Family Village; the three villages living together truly constituted the Xiao Alliance.

A smile appeared on Xiao Ye’s face.

Initially, his idea of developing the Xiao Family Village into a Martial Arts Family had actually come true.

Although the current Xiao Alliance was still weak, armed with Second Grade Combat Skills and the Postnatal Pills, the rise of the Xiao Alliance was imminent, and it wouldn’t be much weaker than the three major families of Wutan City.

“Xiao Ye!”

Seeing Xiao Ye’s figure, the villagers who were originally busy immediately stopped their work and greeted him respectfully.

After the establishment of the Xiao Alliance, Xiao Tianxiong assumed the role of Alliance Hierarch, with Wu Shi and Shi Zhan serving as Vice Alliance Hierarchs, but everyone clearly understood that the young man in front of them was the real leader of the Xiao Alliance.

“You finally came out of seclusion, lad.” Xiao Dashan ran over excitedly upon seeing Xiao Ye, immediately starting to complain.

“The village chief was inspired to establish the Xiao Alliance because of you.

But look at you, off secluding yourself, leaving us to manage everything.”

Xiao Ye chuckled and conversed briefly with Xiao Dashan, then changed the topic, asking, “Uncle Shan, where did you store the items we moved from the Blood Wolf Gang?”

“I knew you’d be concerned about those items.

The village chief asked me to keep them at my house, you can go check them out yourself,” Xiao Dashan said.

“Then I’ll go take a look now.” Xiao Ye grinned and turned to leave.

Following the newly built road within the village, Xiao Ye saw many villagers from Shi Family Village and Wu Family Village along the way; they all greeted him respectfully.

Xiao Dashan’s door was slightly ajar.

Xiao Ye pushed the door open and entered, finding no one home.

He closed the door and after searching for a while, went to the inner room.

On the open ground inside the room, there were boxes of gold, silver, jewels, and various weapons, clearly the items brought back from the Blood Wolf Gang.

Xiao Ye’s gaze moved and he noticed several combat techniques and postnatal cultivation methods.

The highest level among the combat techniques was a second-grade Thunder Cloud Break, and among the cultivation methods, the highest was a Nine Veins Technique.

Xiao Ye had no interest in these items and ignored them.

After searching for a long time without any major discoveries, Xiao Ye felt somewhat disappointed.

None of these items was of any help to his strength.

“Hmm?

What’s this!” Suddenly, Xiao Ye noticed a corner of a yellowed page among a pile of gold and silver.

Curiosity piqued, he pinched the page and pulled out an ancient scroll that looked rather aged and full of the vicissitudes of time.

It wasn’t a combat technique or cultivation method, but rather seemed like a martial artist’s journal.

The title page was inscribed with ‘Human Race Four Emperors’ in ancient characters.

Great Emperors!

Upon seeing these two characters, Xiao Ye’s heartbeat quickened, and he couldn’t help but flip the scroll open.

“In ancient times, the True Spirit Continent was a wilderness ruled by ferocious beasts, and the human clan was reduced to prey, constantly at risk of losing their lives.”

“Fortunately, four Great Emperors emerged among the human clan.

They slew the ferocious beasts, elevated our clan’s prestige, and created a glorious era of martial arts.

Their immense deeds are hard to fully describe, and we should praise them generation after generation.”

“But since the disappearance of the Great Emperors six thousand years ago, their reputation has failed to spread across the True Spirit Continent, and in remote areas, even their legends aren’t known.”

“Distressed by this, I have noted down the deeds of the four Great Emperors, wishing their names to endure eternally in this world.”

Reading this, Xiao Ye’s gaze flickered.

Since his birth, he had never heard the name of the Great Emperors.

Could it be, as the journal writer mentioned, that the legends of the four Great Emperors were slowly being buried by time?

With this thought, Xiao Ye continued reading.

“Ten thousand years ago, the first Great Emperor, Chen Wuji, was born amid a violent uprising of beasts on the continent.

Chen Wuji, from thousands of miles away, annihilated tens of thousands of beasts with a single palm strike.

In the desolate mountain ranges, he battled the Five-clawed Green Dragon for three days and nights.

The heavens darkened, the sun and moon vanished, and stars fell.

Ultimately, he slew the Five-clawed Green Dragon, and his unmatched reputation as a Great Emperor was established.”

“A thousand years later, the second Great Emperor emerged among the human race.

With a mere wave of his hand, he suppressed all foes, ventured into the lair of the beasts as if entering a realm without threats, and effortlessly slaughtered a million beasts, causing the Undying Giant to flee.

He was revered by the human race as the Iron Blood Emperor.”

“Another thousand years passed, and the most talented prodigy ever seen on the True Spirit Continent was born.

From the outset of his path, he dominated his peers, and in just sixty years, he fought invincibly into the Emperor Realm.

Alone, he deterred the ferocious beasts from violating the human race by even an inch and was revered as the Undefeated Emperor.”

“A thousand years later, a remarkable woman appeared on the True Spirit Continent.

With the bearing of a lady, she dominated all the men under the heavens, eventually transforming into an Empress, unrivaled across the world, and was revered as the Supreme Empress.”

“After these four Great Emperors mysteriously disappeared, the True Spirit Continent saw six thousand years where no Great Emperor emerged.”

Upon reading the last line, Xiao Ye was deeply moved and remained inwardly unsettled for a long time.

Even without witnessing them personally, he felt a profound sense of admiration for the four Great Emperors.

This journal was clearly written by an exceptionally strong martial artist and detailed the divisions within the Martial Arts Realm.

The path of martial arts begins with Body Refinement, progressing through Postnatal, Innate, Mystic Martial, Void Martial, King Martial, and Emperor Martial stages, until finally reaching the Emperor Realm and transforming into a Great Emperor.

The four Great Emperors, with their brilliant talents, stood at the peak of martial arts, invincible under the heavens—what majestic figures they were!

“But why did the four Great Emperors disappear?” Soon, doubts arose in Xiao Ye’s mind, “In six thousand years on the True Spirit Continent, no Great Emperor has emerged, indicating the difficulty in advancing to the Emperor Realm.”

Quickly, Xiao Ye shook his head; currently, he was only a martial artist in the Postnatal Realm, and the Emperor Realm was far beyond his reach.

It was too early to think about these things.

Finding no other valuable treasures, Xiao Ye tucked the ancient scroll under his arm and returned home.

“Just three months left until the assessment at Chongyang Sect. freёnovelkiss.com

I need to set off in a month to reach the examination place on time, or it’ll be too late.” After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ye delved into cultivation.

As time passed, the cities of Dahong County began to buzz with excitement.

One after another, young geniuses, their fighting spirits soaring, began their journeys to make names for themselves across Dahong County.
