Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 72 - 070 Great Progress of True Intent

72: Chapter 070: Great Progress of True Intent

72 -070: Great Progress of True Intent

Xiao Ye, situated amidst the desolate mountains, was naturally unaware of Gu Chudong’s conspiracy.

He was now putting forth all his effort to transfer the Martial Arts True Intent contained within the Treasure Core to himself.

Around Xiao Ye’s body swirled hot winds, making him appear like a furnace, emanating scorching heat.

Yet, curiously, Xiao Ye’s robes showed not a single sign of scorching, remaining as usual, astonishingly so.

“It seems that there are quite a few restrictions to absorb the Martial Arts True Intent from this Treasure Core.”

“Firstly, one must touch the threshold of Martial Arts True Intent. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Secondly, the Martial Arts True Intent that is comprehended must be the Flame True Intent.”

As Xiao Ye deepened his comprehension, such clear enlightenment gradually emerged in his mind.

This was normal; without the fundamentals, how could the Martial Arts True Intent of the Treasure Core be absorbed?

To aim high, a firm foundation is essential.

Bai Meng, for example, could not transfer the Martial Arts True Intent from the Treasure Core to himself, because the True Intent he comprehended was not of the flame variety.

Hence, it could be said that Xiao Ye was extraordinarily lucky.

“Hmph, Gu Chudong, Wang Tianxiang, I have to thank you both quite a bit for this opportunity.” Coldness flickered through Xiao Ye’s heart.

Gu Chudong and Wang Tianxiang thought they could use that ferocious beast to kill Xiao Ye but were unaware they were presenting Xiao Ye with an opportunity that even the Black Robed Elder of the Chongyang Sect would envy.

Had those two known, they would have been frustrated to the point of spitting blood.

Afterwards, Xiao Ye stopped pondering and immersed himself in comprehension.

Five days later, the hot winds circling Xiao Ye intensified.

A strong sense of oppression suddenly emerged from Xiao Ye, the result of Martial Arts True Intent invoking the force of Heaven and Earth.

As time passed, that Martial Arts True Intent grew stronger and stronger, like an unsheathed sharp sword pointing to the sky, causing the cave to tremble and shake.

Crack crack!

The cave walls, unable to withstand such powerful oppressive force, began to show many fine cracks.

Buzz!

At that moment, two Flame Lotuses made entirely of Martial Arts True Intent appeared around Xiao Ye, causing the temperature within the cave to surge dramatically.

“Ha ha, I’ve finally crossed that threshold and solidified the Martial Arts True Intent!” Xiao Ye opened his eyes, gazing at the Flame Lotus with a look of surprise and joy.

At this moment, he had already transferred half of the Martial Arts True Intent contained in the Treasure Core to himself.

Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Ye continued to meditate on his understanding.

Time flowed like water, leaving no traces as it vanished.

Looking back, Xiao Ye had already spent a month in this desolate mountain.

The injuries Xiao Ye had sustained in the fierce battle with the Treasure Beast had also fully healed.

Boom!

The cave where Xiao Ye was located suddenly erupted with strong Martial Arts True Intent, shooting straight through the Nine Heavens, filled with a burning sensation, swiftly sweeping over most of the desolate mountain.

Xiao Ye stepped out of the cave, enveloped by five Flame Lotuses, as if he were a Flame Monarch.

“Twenty percent Flame True Intent!” Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled sharply, his face filled with excitement.

It must be said that absorbing the remaining half of the Martial Arts True Intent from the Treasure Core proved increasingly difficult towards the end.

It took him a whole month to achieve this, something even Xiao Ye himself did not expect.

“If I had known, I would have entered the Time Tower for comprehension, but…” Xiao Ye casually struck out with his palm.

Boom!

A gigantic rock ten steps away from him exploded without warning, stone chips flying everywhere.

“Twenty percent Martial Arts True Intent should be able to threaten a martial artist in the Late Stage of the Innate Realm Third Level,” Xiao Ye excitedly said.

Before entering the desolate mountain, his Martial Arts True Intent was only at ten percent and could only threaten martial artists who had just entered the Innate Realm.

Among all of Xiao Ye’s techniques, it was the weakest.

But now, after the True Intent materialized, he was already at the forefront of the outer disciples.

However, to break through the Puppet Tower, he still lacked a bit.

“Martial Arts True Intent should be kept as a trump card and not easily revealed,” Xiao Ye decided, his gaze flickering.

After all, many Innate Martial Artists have not even touched the threshold of Martial Arts True Intent.

At his age, to materialize Martial Arts True Intent was simply astonishing.

If he showed it off, while he might attract the attention of the sect, it would also bring the scrutiny of those with ulterior motives.

The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Although young, Xiao Ye understood this principle well.

Moreover, he was confident in his own abilities to gradually become an Inner Sect Disciple, and even a Direct Disciple!

“After completing this task, the eight thousand points will all be mine since I killed the ferocious beast alone.

With the other three Tokens of Points I have, I’m only eight hundred points short of entering the Chongyang Secret Realm!” Xiao Ye thought silently.

During this month, he had been comprehending Martial Arts True Intent, and his cultivation had not improved at all.

However, Xiao Ye had no regrets and was instead extremely excited.

After all, it is easy to improve one’s cultivation, but to materialize Martial Arts True Intent is much harder, not something achievable overnight.

Without the Treasure Core, he didn’t know how long it would take to cross that threshold.

“Gu Chudong must think that I’m dead,” Xiao Ye scoffed coldly.

He then severed the head of the ferocious beast and started walking towards the village below the desolate mountain.

Soon, all the villages were boiling with excitement, many villagers crying tears of joy.

To know, during this period, they had been terribly afflicted by that ferocious beast, with many villagers dying under its claws.

They had no choice but to seek help from the Chongyang Sect.

Xiao Ye killed that ferocious beast, not only eliminating the danger for them but also avenging them in the process.

“Old man here represents the entire village to thank the young hero for taking action!” In the village, an elderly man with white hair bowed in gratitude to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye quickly helped them up and said with a smile, “Elderly sir, I came here this time to complete a task.

Please write a letter to our Chongyang Sect to prove that I have completed this task.”

What if Gu Chudong refused to acknowledge the completion of the task?

That is why Xiao Ye had made such a move.

“That is natural,” the elder hastily said, and then summoned a middle-aged man to come over.

“Young Hero, I will have our villagers accompany you to the Chongyang Sect,” the elder said.

“Thank you so much, elderly sir,” Xiao Ye said joyfully, knowing that with villagers as witnesses, Gu Chudong would not be able to weasel out of acknowledging the completion.

Under the enthusiastic persuasion of many villagers, Xiao Ye and the villager set off together, heading in the direction of the Chongyang Sect.

Without horses to speed their journey, it took them more than three days to reach the mountain range where the Chongyang Sect was located.

Today, the Outer Disciple Task Hall was as busy as ever, with many Outer Disciples coming and going.

“Hmm, the task is well completed; you can get five hundred task points.”

“Task failed?

There’s no more than a ten-day recuperation period, so go down.”

Gu Chudong was handling task turnovers for the Outer Disciples.

“Elder, I have completed my task!” Not long ago, Wang Tianxiang, who had accepted a high-scoring task, entered the hall excitedly and approached Gu Chudong.

A smile appeared on Gu Chudong’s face and without much verification, he deducted a thousand points for Wang Tianxiang.

This scene made many Outer Disciples grind their teeth in jealousy.

Wang Tianxiang’s proceedings behind the scenes at Gu Chudong’s were no secret among the Outer Disciples; they all felt indignant but dared not speak up.

“Hehe.” Wang Tianxiang, the recipient of the points, looked around at the many Outer Disciples with a smug expression and prepared to step out of the hall.

Just then, as he saw a figure entering the door of the hall, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

“Xiao…

Xiao Ye!”

At this moment, Xiao Ye, carrying a huge package, walked into the hall at a slow pace, without a hint of injury.

“Wang Tianxiang!” A cold light surged in Xiao Ye’s eyes, and a sense of killing intent poured out from him.

If it weren’t for his cultivation of the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, he would have been killed by Wang Tianxiang.

Of course, there are rules of the Chongyang Sect to follow, and he couldn’t act now, otherwise, he would be punished by the Sect, and also he had no evidence.

“Cough cough, Junior Brother, I’m really happy to see you’re alright,” Wang Tianxiang quickly reacted, laughing dryly at Xiao Ye.

“I’ve noted the incident that day; when I become an Inner Sect Disciple, I will settle the score with you.”

Xiao Ye left behind a cold sentence, causing Wang Tianxiang’s complexion to stiffen.

“It’s Xiao Ye, wasn’t it said that he had died while completing his task?”

“He must have had a narrow escape from death and has now returned to the Sect.”

The Outer Disciples in the hall started discussing upon seeing Xiao Ye.

Because Xiao Ye hadn’t returned to the Sect for a month, coupled with Wang Tianxiang announcing the task had failed, many believed Xiao Ye had died.

Even yesterday, Gu Chudong had reissued the task for other Outer Disciples to complete.

“I have completed this task.” Xiao Ye threw the package in his hand onto the table in front of Gu Chudong with a thud, drawing everyone’s attention.

What was that?

All eyes in the hall were fixated on the package.

“You completed the task?” Gu Chudong’s expression was dumbfounded.

Seeing Xiao Ye return safely, he was already surprised, and now hearing that Xiao Ye had completed the task, his heart was even more shocked.

“Impossible!” A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Tianxiang’s mouth.

The strength of that ferocious beast had reached the Late Stage of the Innate Realm Third Level; looking at the entire Outer Sect, there was no one who could complete it alone, much less Xiao Ye?

Gu Chudong opened the package, and a bloody ferocious beast’s head appeared in front of everyone.

Hiss!

Everyone in the hall gasped; although they weren’t sure of the rank of this ferocious beast, looking at the head, they knew this beast was not easy to provoke.

And Wang Tianxiang was completely dumbfounded.

Others did not know, but he was clear that this head belonged to the ferocious beast from the desolate mountain.

Xiao Ye had actually killed that ferocious beast?

How could this be!

“Xiao Ye, the Sect won’t blame you if you can’t complete the task, but you can’t deceive me by casually bringing back a head of a ferocious beast, your crime is unforgivable!” Gu Chudong’s authoritative voice echoed in the Task Hall.

Xiao Ye sneered inwardly; Gu Chudong was indeed planning to deny the task completion.

“Lord Elder, how can you determine that this isn’t the head of the ferocious beast from the task?

Without investigating thoroughly, you question me; does this make you a competent Elder?” Xiao Ye retorted coldly.

(The climax is coming soon, everyone votes with a few recommendation tickets!

There’s also another update tonight.

In addition to the base of two updates a day, I’ll try to burst forth a bit these days.)
