Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 223 - 221 Heavenly Son

At the peak of the mountain, Xiao Ye let out a wolf howl and lunged at Bing Ya.

Bing Ya gently rose, a mysterious smile appearing on her face. Then, an extremely terrifying icy aura erupted from her delicate body, sweeping outwards with Bing Ya at the center, freezing everything in its path.

Bing Ya’s hair flew wildly, even her strands emitted light, exuding an aura of holiness, like an ice goddess, inviolable.

Even with Xiao Ye’s cultivation, he found it difficult to resist the bone-chilling cold, feeling as if his blood was about to freeze.

"Xuanwu Realm!"

Xiao Ye’s steps halted, as if struck by lightning, his expression dazed. The aura emanating from Bing Ya had astonishingly reached the Xuanwu Realm, and it was not just someone who had merely entered it.

"How is this possible?" Xiao Ye was full of disbelief, his mind clouded, feeling as if he was dreaming.

There’s no need to elaborate on how difficult it is to achieve the Xuanwu State.

In the Black Dragon Country, there are so few innate martial artists who can reach the Xuanwu state before the end of their lives.

For instance, he himself, with the abundant Bodhi Leaves obtained in the Emperor’s Cultivation Land, and with the assistance of the Flame Saber World, managed to become the youngest Xuanwu Realm powerhouse in such a short time.

Yet Bing Ya was not a bit weaker than him, even ahead of him, having reached Xuanwu.

Too absurd!

"Junior brother, do you still want to bully me now? You’re strong, but I’m not weak either." Bing Ya smiled playfully.

She had been anticipating this moment for a long time, and Xiao Ye’s reaction was indeed quite amusing.

"Yaya, what’s going on?" Xiao Ye hurriedly asked.

Even now, he couldn’t calm down.

"Back then, after the vice sect leader killed the senior who was helping you and went to pursue you, I felt something awaken within my body, taking control of me, and stopped the vice sect leader."

"Since then, my martial arts true intent has rapidly improved, and two years ago, I reached the Xuanwu state." Bing Ya said softly.

"Awakening?" Xiao Ye subconsciously murmured and then snapped out of it, looking at Bing Ya with shock.

"Are you saying... it was you who stopped the vice sect leader back then!"

Only then did Xiao Ye remember hearing in a tavern, after fleeing the Chongyang Sect, that there was a mysterious person who stopped the vice sect leader after the Old Madman died.

At that time, he wondered when he had made an acquaintance capable of intercepting the vice sect leader.

It turned out that the mysterious person was Bing Ya!

"Reached Xuanwu two years ago..." Thinking of this, Xiao Ye smiled wryly.

It’s clear that Bing Ya hid her strength during the Heavenly Pride Battle in the Black Dragon Country; otherwise, he and Long Chen could not have become the top Young Supremes.

Just as Xiao Ye was about to inquire further, Bing Ya’s expression suddenly changed, and a surging icy aura burst forth, pushing Xiao Ye away.

Crack!

The massive rocks at the mountaintop were all frozen and cracked, and the cold aura grew increasingly stronger, causing Xiao Ye’s heart to tremble.

Bing Ya’s hair was tossed about, her teeth clenched, seeming to endure immense pain.

This sudden change made Xiao Ye’s heart jolt.

"Junior brother, I need to find a place to meditate first." Bing Ya said, then her figure leaping away from the mountaintop.

"Yaya!" Xiao Ye clenched his fists, feeling deeply pained by the suffering Bing Ya was enduring.

"Power awakening, rapidly reaching Xuanwu... Yaya must have a significant secret. I must figure it out to help her." Xiao Ye dismissed the thought of chasing after her and descended the mountain peak.

The person most knowledgeable about Bing Ya was undoubtedly the Fourth Elder.

Currently, no one in the Chongyang Sect dared to provoke Xiao Ye, this Killing God, so he traversed the sect unimpeded and arrived at the residence of the Fourth Elder, under the respectful gazes of many disciples.

"You brat, you’re finally here." The Fourth Elder was much the same as before, without significant change.

His gaze towards Xiao Ye was filled with pride.

Since Xiao Ye’s incident, he stopped concerning himself with sect affairs, focusing solely on reaching Xuanwu, not even appearing during Xiao Ye’s return to the Chongyang Sect.

Because he knew, Xiao Ye would definitely come to find him.

"Master!"

Xiao Ye saluted respectfully, even though he had reached Xuanwu, he held great respect for the elder before him.

"You brat, no need for formalities. I suppose you’re here to inquire about Bing Ya." the Fourth Elder spoke.

Xiao Ye nodded seriously, "Please enlighten me, Master."

The Fourth Elder sighed, his face full of nostalgic expression, "Actually, I don’t know much about Bing Ya’s origin either. Ten years ago, I discovered her during my travels."

"At that time, Bing Ya had lost all memory, bullied by villains, utterly alone. Seeing her pitiable state, I brought her back to the sect and took her as a direct disciple."

"Until three years ago, during the crisis you encountered, a cold power awakened in Bing Ya’s body, helping her to quickly reach Xuanwu. However, this power backlashes against her daily. Who knows whether this will be a blessing or a curse."

"To endure a daily power backlash!" Hearing this, Xiao Ye clenched his fists, feeling a heartache.

"Master, is there no way?" Xiao Ye asked.

The Fourth Elder gave a bitter smile, "I wish to help her, too. I’ve pored over many ancient texts and finally found that Bing Ya might be a genius with a special physique."

"A special physique?" Xiao Ye was amazed, it was the first time he’d heard of such a concept.

"According to ancient records, in this world, there are people who are heaven’s favored, also known as Heaven’s Sons. They are born with special physiques, and after awakening, their cultivation can break through quickly, their strength far surpassing those of the same realm."

"However, the time of awakening is uncertain, and the process is extremely painful. Many Heaven’s Sons perish before fully awakening."

"Moreover, such Heaven’s Sons are exceedingly rare, perhaps one in millions, and only in the vast True Spirit Continent might they be born." the Fourth Elder slowly explained.

"A Heaven’s Son, Yaya is a Heaven’s Son! Could Yaya be from the True Spirit Continent?" Xiao Ye’s heart raced.

With a special physique awakened, one’s cultivation could breakthrough continuously. Truly, comparisons are odious.

"After knowing you returned to Dashen County, Bing Ya didn’t dare to approach you due to her unstable power," the Fourth Elder continued.

"That foolish girl," Xiao Ye’s face was full of affection, his heart laden with guilt.

It turned out that Bing Ya had been silently enduring everything, not letting him know, making him wish he could stay by her side forever.

"You brat, no one can help Bing Ya with her special physique awakening, she can only rely on herself. You should focus on dealing with He Mo." The Fourth Elder barked as he saw Xiao Ye’s expression.

Xiao Ye was jolted awake.

Indeed, the threat of He Mo was like a time bomb. He must eliminate it quickly to proceed to the True Spirit Continent with peace of mind.

"That’s better." The Fourth Elder smiled, "Bing Ya is a Heaven’s Son, her achievements will be high with her special physique awakened. Don’t let her surpass you."

Xiao Ye laughed wryly, but he was very confident. Having received the Empress’s inheritance, he was treading the Fusion Emperor Road. Even without a special physique, he won’t lose to a Heaven’s Son.

"Master, then I shall take my leave." After respectfully saluting, Xiao Ye left the Fourth Elder’s residence.

Subsequently, Xiao Ye gathered with Yu Fang and others.

"The King has granted Yuanfeng County to me, as the territory of Xiao Alliance. I plan to develop Xiao Alliance into a powerful force. If you wish to join, you are welcome to come with me." Xiao Ye said.

With his current cultivation, he was fully capable of establishing a sect. Coupled with the treasures brought from the Empress’s Cultivation Land, the strength of Xiao Alliance could soon be formidable.

The four of Yu Fang fell silent.

"Ye Zi, thank you for your offer, but joining Xiao Alliance might not necessarily enhance my abilities. I prefer to stay in the Chongyang Sect." Shao Yan was the first to break the silence.

"The detestable vice sect leader is dead, and I’m planning to remain in the Chongyang Sect. If one day I find it unbearable, I’ll seek shelter with the Third." Yu Fang said with a smile.

"I’ll stay too."

"I’ll stay too."

Li Wufeng and Long Shaojie said in succession.

"Alright then." Xiao Ye smiled wryly.

Everyone has their aspirations, and he couldn’t force anyone. Besides, joining Xiao Alliance might not suit them. It’s best for one to be clear about the path they wish to take.

Thereafter, the five cast aside all worries and drank heartily as if returned to old times, their spirits high.

Xiao Ye didn’t linger long. Once Yu Fang and the others were intoxicated, he quietly got up, gazed at his four brothers, and resolutely turned away.

Exiting the Chongyang Sect Mountain Range, Xiao Ye gazed tenderly in a certain direction.

"Once He Mo is slain, I shall return to be with Yaya." Xiao Ye murmured softly.

Swoosh!

A figure soared into the sky, swiftly leaving the Chongyang Mountain Range, disappearing beyond the horizon.

In less than a day, Xiao Ye returned to the Xiao Mansion.

"Brother Xiao Ye, you truly are formidable, breaking through and killing the Chongyang Sect’s vice sect leader—how did you achieve that?" The National Guardian General sensed Xiao Ye’s presence and immediately came over, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly, surprising him how quickly the news had spread.

"General, is there any news of He Mo?" Xiao Ye didn’t explain much, choosing to ask.

"None, the King has dispatched people everywhere to investigate, yet there’s been no news." The National Guardian General shook his head.

Suddenly he smacked his head and took out a bag, "Right, how forgetful of me! This was left by the King, instructing me to give it to you after you reached Xuanwu."

"What is this?" Xiao Ye was puzzled, taking it and feeling its considerable weight.

He opened it to find a booklet and ten stones emitting a misty light, filled with formidable power.

"Sixth Grade Combat Techniques!" Xiao Ye eyes lit up as he looked at the booklet, his face full of excitement.

"Hmm? Are these Spirit Stones?" Xiao Ye was taken aback when his gaze fell upon the ten stones.

He was no stranger to Spirit Stones, but those in his hand seemed markedly more advanced than any he had encountered before.

"Technically, these are Middle Grade Spirit Stones. What you used in the Innate Realm were Low Grade Spirit Stones. Middle Grade Spirit Stones are extremely rare in the Yulan Domain, with even the Royal Family having few in their collection," The National Guardian General explained.

Xiao Ye understood.

A strong Xuanwu Realm martial artist, like an Innate Martial Artist, needed to open acupoints to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to elevate their cultivation. However, the amount needed far exceeded that of an Innate Martial Artist.

With Middle Grade Spirit Stones, he believed his cultivation would soon break through, giving him more confidence in slaying He Mo.

"Are there Upper Grade Spirit Stones as well?" Xiao Ye curiously asked.

"Brother Xiao Ye, don’t even think about it. Such treasures are only possessed by the True Spirit Continent. Even if you sold all thirteen countries of the Yulan Domain, they wouldn’t suffice for a single Upper Grade Spirit Stone." The National Guardian General chuckled ruefully.

Xiao Ye clicked his tongue in amazement. After chatting casually with the National Guardian General and giving some instructions to the members of Xiao Alliance, he went to cultivate.

"Now I can ascend to the third layer of the Time Tower," Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, his face full of anticipation.

He knew that cultivating in the third layer of the Time Tower was tantamount to possessing thirty acupoints, unmatched even by the Four Great Emperors.

"Let me try." The Pagoda Seal on Xiao Ye’s chest glowed faintly, engulfing his consciousness.

However, he hadn’t noticed that inside the room, the nearly forgotten egg he obtained from the Empress’s Cultivation Land suddenly shook with excitement.
