Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 62 - 060 Old Friends Meet

62: Chapter 060 Old Friends Meet

62 -060 Old Friends Meet

Seeing Xiao Ye’s appearance, the man smiled slightly.

He had seen too many disciples showing this expression, so he didn’t mind.

“This cultivation technique was brought back by the Sect Leader.

Its most precious aspect is that once mastered, it allows one to form a connection with the Supreme Empress,” the man’s tone was filled with admiration.

“Thousands of years ago, the Supreme Empress traveled across the True Spirit Continent, leaving behind many legacies.

If one can form a connection with the Empress, the probability of obtaining those legacies will be very high.”

Bang!

Xiao Ye felt as if struck by lightning, a buzz echoing in his mind.

He had just thought of this technique being created by the Supreme Empress, which must be very powerful, but he didn’t notice its most defying feature.

Forming a connection with the Supreme Empress to receive her legacy, how shocking is that!

Just this is enough to make people go crazy.

“Hehe, kid, don’t even think about it.

Although this technique is widely circulated, the threshold to practice it is too high.

No genius with the Emperor’s Stature has ever appeared among the sects in the Black Dragon Country, let alone you,” the man chuckled softly, handing back the Points Token to Xiao Ye.

“Lord Elder, I want this cultivation technique!” Xiao Ye did not take the token but spoke with determination.

The man’s expression stiffened slightly and showed a hint of anger.

He kindly advised, yet Xiao Ye didn’t listen?

“Hmph, despite being a waste body, your ambition is lofty.

Since that’s the case, I won’t stop you.” The man put on a stern face, put away one Points Token, and tossed another to Xiao Ye.

“This cultivation technique originally costs twelve thousand points, but with the newbie benefits offset, it will only cost you ten thousand points,” the man said, then walked to a row of bookshelves and took out a booklet to hand to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye excitedly took the booklet and saw four big characters written on the cover: Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!

“What a domineering name!” Xiao Ye thought to himself, then put away the booklet and began to pick out a Third Grade Battle Technique.

Upon entering the Innate Realm, newbies can receive one Innate Technique and one Third Grade Battle Technique for free.

This is an opportunity he couldn’t waste; otherwise, he would have to use points to exchange for them.

After witnessing Ye Wuhen’s display of the power of a Third Grade Battle Technique, he had long been envious.

“Third Grade Battle Techniques are also known as Innate Battle Techniques, but they are actually just transitional stage techniques with similar powers; you can choose any one at will.”

“When you pass through the Puppet Tower and become an Inner Sect Disciple, cultivating Fourth Grade Battle Techniques is the proper path,” the man said coldly.

Xiao Ye felt somewhat grateful upon hearing this.

The man seemed aloof but was actually warm-hearted inside.

“Thank you, Lord Elder!” Xiao Ye saluted him, then selected a battle technique named Thunderclap Palm.

After registering, the man instructed Xiao Ye not to spread the cultivation technique and battle skill, then let Xiao Ye leave.

“Alas, a waste body with unusually high comprehension, unexpectedly comprehending the first step of Martial Arts True Intent.

Even I’m a bit jealous,” the man shook his head, watching Xiao Ye’s departing figure.

…

Xiao Ye returned to the valley where he lived, carrying the cultivation technique and battle technique.

In the courtyard, he didn’t see Yu Fang and others, who were probably cultivating, as no one dared to relax, for not passing the Puppet Step by the age of twenty-five would mean being demoted to a Registered Disciple.

“Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!”

Xiao Ye returned to his room, looked at the cultivation technique in his hand, and excitedly flipped it open.

After reading the introduction to the cultivation technique, his face was full of amazement: “No wonder this cultivation technique requires a genius with the Emperor’s Stature to master it.”

According to the explanation in the technique, each time heavenly and earthly primordial qi is absorbed, it divides into two parts; half is refined into Innate True Qi, and the other half is used to temper the physical body and hone Tripod Power.

Once the physical body is honed to possess the power of one tripod, it can withstand a Late-stage Innate Realm Third Layer martial artist without using cultivation.

Two Tripods can counter a Late-stage Innate Realm Sixth Level martial artist, and so on…

Once four tripods appear simultaneously, forming a connection with the Empress, the physical body alone can rival a martial artist at the Innate Limit, dominating the Innate Realm!

“What a powerful cultivation technique, truly worthy of the Supreme Empress,” Xiao Ye admired sincerely.

It’s essential to understand that Innate Techniques have varying strengths, but their sole effect is to refine Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into Innate True Qi.

Yet, the Supreme Empress pioneered a unique way to strengthen Innate True Qi while also tempering the physical body, making an absolute invincible presence at the same level through dual amplification of strength.

However, by dividing each absorbed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into two, this also halves the cultivation speed, making mastery nearly impossible without the Emperor’s Stature.

“Fortunately, I have the Time Tower,” Xiao Ye secretly rejoiced, then opened the booklet to memorize the cultivation technique’s content.

It must be said that this Postnatal Cultivation Method is extensive, taking Xiao Ye a full four hours to memorize.

“Time Tower.” Xiao Ye had a special connection with the Time Tower.

At this moment, with a thought, his consciousness entered the Time Tower.

“Second Layer!” Xiao Ye went straight for the second layer of the Time Tower.

When he first obtained the Time Tower, he thoroughly explored it several times and discovered a staircase leading directly from the first layer to the second.

However, at that time, he hadn’t reached the Innate Realm yet, and a mysterious power on the staircase always blocked him.

This time, as he lifted his foot onto the staircase, the mysterious power didn’t hinder him, and he smoothly arrived at the second layer.

The second layer was quite similar to the first, surrounded by swirling nebulae, constantly disintegrating and being reborn, with a slower cycle speed than the first layer.

“Finally reached here!” Xiao Ye was ecstatic.

The time flow speed in the Time Tower’s second layer is twenty times slower than the outside world.

Even with just one aperture here, it’s equivalent to the genius with the Emperor’s Stature!

At the same time, at the moment Xiao Ye stepped onto the second layer, a vast consciousness surged into his mind.

“Ascend to the Xuanwu Realm to reach the third layer?” Xiao Ye was slightly startled.

The mysterious presence left a message on each layer, reminding Xiao Ye of the conditions to reach higher levels.

“Never mind, let’s see the effect here.” Xiao Ye cleared his mind and sat cross-legged, beginning to operate the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique.

Bang!

At the moment of operating the cultivation method, Xiao Ye felt the majestic Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi descending from the sky, enveloping his body and pouring into him through the apertures.

“As I guessed, even though only my consciousness is cultivating here, it’s no different from the outside world,” Xiao Ye’s heart surged with excitement.

After the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entered his body, it split into two; one part was refined into Innate True Qi and stored in the Dantian, while the other part began tempering his physical body.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Under the operation of the cultivation method, Xiao Ye felt major transformations in his organs and blood vessels, continuously enhanced, feeling incredibly comfortable.

The days of cultivation always passed quickly.

Two months had passed in the outside world, while Xiao Ye had intensely cultivated for over three years in the second layer of the Time Tower.

Despite only having one aperture and splitting the primordial qi into two parts, with the aid of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye’s cultivation speed could be described as that of a ten-aperture genius.

With the accumulation of time, his strength had reached an astounding level.

Inside the room, Xiao Ye’s consciousness exited the Time Tower, returning to his physical body.

The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if two bolts of lightning shot out from them.

“After striving for so long and consuming two Eight Apertures Pills, my cultivation finally broke through to the Innate Realm Second Level!”

“If it weren’t for the two-part primordial qi, my cultivation might have already reached the Innate Realm Third Level,” Xiao Ye smiled, then lifted his hand slightly, forming his fingers into a blade.

Whoosh!

With a wave of Xiao Ye’s fingers, a surge of Innate True Qi burst from his body, splitting the table in the room in half, leaving deep marks on the ground.

“Innate Martial Artists are indeed powerful.

Innate True Qi can attack outside the body, incomparable to the Postnatal Realm,” Xiao Ye remarked.

Innate Martial Artists can harness their true qi to any part of the body with ease, making external attacks a matter of course.

However, soon Xiao Ye frowned.

“Materializing Martial Arts True Intent to reach the Intermediate Second Step is indeed difficult.”

Throughout the three-plus years, he had visited the Flame Saber World numerous times to comprehend it, but without much progress.

However, he had perfected the Third Grade Battle Technique, Thunderclap Palm.

“Also, my physical body hasn’t yet honed the power of one tripod, but it has considerable strength.

Coupled with my cultivation, I dare to battle a Late Stage of Innate Realm Second Level martial artist!” Xiao Ye casually punched into the void, causing a thunderous roar.

It’s important to note that unlike the Postnatal Realm, it’s quite challenging to fight across levels in the Innate Realm, which only the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique might achieve at this point.

At this moment, a knocking sound came from outside.

“Old Third, what are you fussing with that’s causing such a ruckus?

Come out for a drink,” Yu Fang’s voice called.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly.

Throughout this time, while persistently cultivating, he often drank with Yu Fang and others, and their friendship grew close.

“Coming.” Xiao Ye pushed the door open and stepped out to sit at the stone table in the courtyard.

The four sat together, the atmosphere lively, even the previously shy Long Shaojie had become quite active.

“Old Third, over the past two months, quite a few newbies have broken through to the Innate and attempted the Puppet Tower, aren’t you going to try?” Li Wufeng, the second of the group, said.

A month ago, he too broke through to the Innate Realm and attempted the Puppet Tower, only to face a severe defeat.

“Oh?” Xiao Ye’s expression shifted slightly.

In the two months since entering the Chongyang Sect, he hadn’t visited the Puppet Tower; perhaps now would be a good time to experience it.

“Then let’s go take a look,” Xiao Ye suggested.

After finishing their meal, the four of them went out together.

“Haha, I bet old Third won’t last more than a few breaths before being thrown out,” Yu Fang teased along the way.

“Hehe, I lasted ten breaths last time, which isn’t bad among newbies.

I bet old Third would be worse than me,” Li Wufeng joined in ridiculing Xiao Ye.

Joking around was common among the four, so Xiao Ye didn’t mind.

“I think Third Brother will definitely last longer than Second Brother,” Long Shaojie said, pouting.

Joking and laughing, the four soon arrived in front of a giant tower.

The place was bustling with people, and Xiao Ye immediately noticed Ye Wuhen and Chen Huan among the crowd.

“Hehe, could it be a waste wants to challenge the Puppet Tower too?” suddenly, a young man appeared in front of Xiao Ye, full of mockery.

At the same time, a vast aura erupted from the young man’s body.

“Xu Hong!”

Upon seeing the young man, Xiao Ye’s eyes shot out two beams of sharp light.

He remembered clearly when he was revealed to have only one aperture, Xu Hong declared he would defeat Xiao Ye in one move upon stepping into the Innate Realm.

“Oh?

This waste is here too.” Behind Xu Hong appeared several unfriendly-looking youths who were also from Dahong County.

Back when Xiao Ye earned the title of Son of County, these young men flattered him endlessly.

After learning he only had one aperture, they mocked and scorned him publicly.

These sycophantic faces were unforgettable to Xiao Ye.
