Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1367 - 1350: Bottleneck

"This brat, just married and is already running off. If he were younger, I’d break his legs!" Seeing Xiao Ye greet them briefly and then leave in a hurry, Xiao Yang scolded with glaring eyes.

"Alright, Brother Yang, Ye’er is now the Sect Master of a major sect. He must be very busy with affairs. We’ve come to the Central State, so we can often see Ye’er." Luo Meilan said with a smile.

Xiao Yang chuckled upon hearing this.

The achievements Xiao Ye has attained truly make them, as parents, very proud.

With the completion of the Sect Establishment Ceremony of the Wuji Sect, the sect officially entered the right track. The entire Three Alliances Domain presented a scene of revived prosperity. The martial artists of the Wuji Sect were all busy, and the Sword Emperor, acting as the Supreme Elder of the Wuji Sect, despite his injuries not fully healed, was handling various affairs.

Not to mention organizing the gifts sent by the Three Great Emperor Domains and the Ice and Snow Palace, simply the initial establishment of the Wuji Sect, absorbing disciples and powerful martial artists to bring in fresh blood, was quite challenging.

After all, for a sect to flourish and prosper in the Central State, it cannot be without disciples; moreover, the Wuji Sect has occupied the Holy Fire Domain.

However, given Xiao Ye’s current influence in the Central State, it would certainly be easy to recruit disciples.

It’s just that Chou Duantian, the green-clothed youth from the Ultimate Palace, feels like a fishbone stuck in everyone’s throat, making the strong ones in the Wuji Sect unable to relax.

Xiao Ye arrived at the conference hall of the Wuji Mansion and summoned the Sword Emperor.

"What?"

"Sect Leader, you mean you’ve found your master Wu Ming’s whereabouts?" The Sword Emperor seemed to have recovered well, his essence and qi significantly replenished, and upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, his eyes widened instantly, full of delight.

Xiao Ye’s master Wu Ming is very well-known in the Central State, renowned as the number one in physical body there.

With a powerful physical body, he could tear apart a Titled Emperor Martial; within the Titled Emperor Martial realm, he was an invincible existence. The Sword Emperor and the Titled Emperor Martial from Sealing Emperor City, upon arriving in the Central State, naturally knew of Wu Ming’s fame.

If Wu Ming could really be rescued, relying on the relationship between Xiao Ye and Wu Ming, maybe he could be brought into the Wuji Sect, which would naturally reinforce their strength tremendously.

"That’s right, Senior Sword Emperor, rescuing my master must proceed quickly. Otherwise, I’m afraid that if delayed, things might change. You should send people to investigate the situation in the Fengyun Domain right now; here is the map."

Xiao Ye said, while taking out the map he had drawn based on the information from the Mind Jade Scroll left by Chou Duantian.

Regarding the situation in the Fengyun Domain, Xiao Ye is not very familiar, nor does he know if there are arrangements of Half-step Emperor experts by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain within the Fengyun Domain. Investigations must be clear before planning to rescue Wu Ming.

"Okay!"

The Sword Emperor also understood the importance of the matter and did not hesitate; he turned and left immediately.

"Master, you have always sheltered me from the storm. This time, let me clear the skies for you." Xiao Ye looked outside the conference hall, a fiery glint flashing in his eyes.

Knowing the whereabouts of Wu Ming, he was already a bit impatient. If he doesn’t rescue Wu Ming, he can’t fully concentrate on cultivating.

Soon, three Titled Emperor Martial experts set out from the Wuji Mansion, secretly heading towards the Fengyun Domain.

In the conference hall, Xiao Ye summoned Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu to understand the development situation of the Wuji Sect, handled some affairs, and then returned to the Inner Mansion of the Wuji Mansion to reunite with his family.

Xiao Ye greatly enjoyed these days of family reunion, but due to the heavy pressure on him, he began his seclusion after just two days, handing over control of the Wuji Sect to Bing Ya, and arranged for Little White to control the Emperor Beast, stationed in the Three Alliances Domain.

Despite being newlywed, Bing Ya understood very well the pressures on Xiao Ye and was deeply supportive, even actively comforting Xiao Yang.

Rumble!

Within the secret chamber of the Inner Mansion of the Wuji Mansion, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, operating the Four Emperor Skills, and arriving at the Fifth Floor of the Time Tower, channeling the vast Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into the four Emperor Realms.

Sizzle!

As Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi infused, the four Emperor Realms simultaneously began to slowly transform.

"Although the Wuji Mansion also has arrays for gathering Primordial Qi, breaking through Cultivation after reaching Emperor Seventh Level is indeed difficult." Soon, Xiao Ye furrowed his brow.

His Cultivation had just broken through to Emperor Seventh Level Mid Stage, and during this cultivation session, he immediately felt there was a substantial gap between him and Emperor Seventh Level Late Stage, even with the assistance of the Time Tower, it would take quite some time to bridge this gap.

Unless he can acquire Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, quick breakthroughs would be impossible.

However, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that allow Late Stage Emperor Realm martial artists to break through are extremely rare and precious; they are scarce even in the Four Great Emperor Domains.

As for the Domineering Body, he has also encountered a bottleneck, making it very difficult to refine another drop of Domineering Body Blood.

"I wonder what the Heavenly Elder left for me in the Sealing Emperor Hall..." Xiao Ye pondered, then shook his head.

Without resolving Wu Ming’s issues, he doesn’t have the mind to return to the Sealing Emperor Hall.

"However, with my current Martial Arts Enlightenment, continuing to comprehend the Slaughter Principle and elevate it shouldn’t be difficult..." A divine brilliance flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes, and a blood-red Slaughter Principle burst forth, interweaving into many Slaughter Lotuses.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two months had elapsed.

During these two months, the Three Alliances Domain and the Holy Fire Domain were calm and peaceful. The envoy from Taiyi Palace arrived, signed an alliance agreement with the Wuji Sect, and dispatched two elders who were Titled Emperor Martial experts to the Wuji Sect as the bridge for exchanging information between the two major sects.

Forming an alliance with Taiyi Palace eased the minds of the martial artists of the Wuji Sect.

If the Ultimate Palace were to attack the Wuji Sect, at least they wouldn’t be isolated and helpless.

Moreover, the Wuji Sect’s development was quite favorable; the hundred-mile-long High Grade Yuan Vein sent by the Invincible Emperor Domain had already been extracted, and the five Array Masters brought by the Absolute Emperor Domain had started setting up arrays between the Three Alliances Domain and the Holy Fire Domain.

On this day, a message finally came from the Sword Emperor.

Xiao Ye, upon learning this, was extremely excited and immediately came out of seclusion.

"Sect Leader, the Titled Emperor Martial experts I sent returned with a message. According to your map, they have roughly identified the place where your master Wu Ming is being held..." Upon seeing Xiao Ye arrive, the Sword Emperor said.

After listening, Xiao Ye felt excited.

It turns out Wu Ming was imprisoned in the strongest sect in the Fengyun Domain—the Infinite Sect.

The Infinite Sect is quite low-key in the Central State, yet very powerful, occupying the Fengyun Domain, a region of human heroes and earth spirits. In fact, it is a subsidiary power supported by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

However, there is no Half-step Emperor expert stationed within the Infinite Sect.

"Great!"

"Just as my cultivation is at a bottleneck, I’m going to personally head to the Fengyun Domain." Xiao Ye decided resolutely, his eyes flashing with divine radiance.
