Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1496: The Sword Spirit’s Warning

Xiao Yi shivered instantly.

The reason people are human and not walking corpses is because humans have thoughts and memories.

The memories in Xiao Yi’s mind prove that he knows he is Xiao Yi.

For example, if a person loses their memory, they are still that person, but will they live as their original self?

If he really experiences the lifetime of Senior Zhanxing.

Such a long journey through time.

Compared to his mere 20 years of experience, even counting the decades of his previous life, it’s still just a few dozen years.

The two are on completely different levels.

So then, which set of memories would take the dominant position?

Previously, he had absorbed some broken memories.

Like the memories of Ice Venerable, or the memories of those spiritual senses in the Fengxu Secret Realm.

But ultimately, those memories only appeared in his mind.

Compared to personally living through this long timeline, personally walking this path of life, it is fundamentally different.

At that time, would Xiao Yi think of himself as Xiao Yi or as Senior Zhanxing?

Xiao Yi frowned, hesitating.

The voice of the Sword Spirit echoed again.

"Kid, let me be frank with you."

"This Senior Zhanxing is the oldest among the tens of thousands of Sword Stele owners."

"Apart from the Sword Emperor, no other Sword Cultivator is older than him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face grew even darker.

He certainly knew that the Sword Stele owners here lived extremely long lives.

Senior Yun Yuan once mentioned that with their cultivation, they could casually live for tens of thousands of years.

The cultivation realm of any Sword Stele owner in life was stronger than that of Elder Yun Yuan, and thus their lifespan was naturally longer.

Moreover, who knows how long this Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest has existed.

Perhaps it has been here since Ancient Times.

"Gulp." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Afraid?" the Sword Spirit’s sinister voice sounded again.

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "This Sword Emperor Stele Space only exists for half a month."

"How can one truly live through the long life experiences of these seniors in half a month?"

"Fool." The Sword Spirit sneered.

"Look at the Sword Qi on both sides of you."

Xiao Yi glanced around.

This path of Sword Qi was completely covered by towering Sword Qi beneath his feet, to his left and right, and above.

The Sword Qi hinted at a terrifying power.

The Sword Spirit continued, "This path of Sword Qi is under the power of the Sword Emperor Stele Space."

"Comprehenders walking on it can alter the flow of time."

"Especially during comprehension, the faster you comprehend, the slower the time passes."

"Hiss." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

"The power of the Sword Emperor Stele can control space and time?"

"Why not?" The Sword Spirit suddenly said proudly, "The Sword Emperor is the Sword Dao Emperor."

"Although not a Martial God, nor possessing the overwhelming strength of a Martial God."

"But controlling Heaven and Earth’s Yin and Yang, breaking the shackles of Heaven and Earth, is effortless."

"This small feat of controlling time is nothing."

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xiao Yi noticed something strange about the Sword Spirit’s voice.

No, to be precise, there was something odd about the Sword Spirit’s reaction.

The Sword Spirit realized Xiao Yi’s subtle "Hmm" and immediately restrained its tone.

After a moment, the Sword Spirit continued, "On this path of Sword Qi, it may seem like only half a month has passed; but during comprehension, thousands of years may have gone by."

"I notice you know quite a lot." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

The Sword Spirit’s tone froze and after a while, it chuckled, "I’ve lived a long time too."

Xiao Yi shrugged, "No need for you, old monster, to remind me."

Xiao Yi glanced at the other side, where Ding Qiuyue was walking slowly with closed eyes on her path of Sword Qi.

"A little girl dares to walk, should I, Xiao Yi, be afraid?"

With that, Xiao Yi closed his eyes again and began to comprehend.

Beside his ear, the Sword Spirit murmured softly, "Hold on to your Sword Heart, never forget your original intention."

The Cold Flame Sword had been tucked away in the Universe Ring by Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi’s path of comprehension began anew.

Gradually, Xiao Yi started to understand the meaning of this path of Sword Qi.

Rather than a path of Sword Qi, it could be said to be the path of Sword Dao that Senior Zhanxing himself walked.

With each additional insight Xiao Yi gained, his feet would automatically take a step forward.

Unknown how long had passed.

Xiao Yi gradually comprehended the realm of cultivation when Senior Zhanxing was in the Heavenly Origin Realm.

During this time, the battles and unforgettable matters experienced by Senior Zhanxing were all personally felt by Xiao Yi.

Including the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques obtained by Senior Zhanxing at this stage, and the process of cultivation too.

Time passed gradually.

Xiao Yi advanced to the realm of Earth Extreme cultivation experienced by Senior Zhanxing.

The true rise began here.

A trace of insight into the Star-cutting Sword Dao was realized by Senior Zhanxing from this point.

In the state of comprehension, Xiao Yi’s identity was ’Senior Zhanxing’, and thus he similarly started to comprehend this trace of Sword Dao.

...

Time flew by.

Unknown how long had passed.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi opened his eyes.

"Whew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath and turned around, glancing back.

He had already walked quite a distance on this path of Sword Qi.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes and sensed, "Only a day has passed."

Indeed, he had only walked on this path of Sword Qi for a day.

But in the state of comprehension, he had already traveled 30 years.

In the state of comprehension, ’Senior Zhanxing’ was 30 years old, and it was at this age that he reached the realm of a Supreme Expert.

"Next, it’s the experiences at the realm of a Supreme Expert."

In fact, although walking through Senior Zhanxing’s experiences, it was not experiencing every minor detail of his life.

What was truly experienced were all the battle scenes, comprehension scenes, and some unforgettable events.

As for other ordinary life and events, they were not necessary to experience.

Therefore, in the span of Senior Zhanxing’s life, Xiao Yi experienced much less than half of it.

Of course, even with reduced memories, it’s still an extremely long span.

Time leaped again.

In the state of comprehension, Xiao Yi had lived for millennia.

During this period, the battles, insights, and other scenes had surpassed tens of thousands.

At this period, Senior Zhanxing’s cultivation was tremendous, having long surpassed that of a Supreme Expert.

However, what the realm was afterward, Xiao Yi did not know.

He only knew that the current battle scenes and insight scenes had become bizarre.

Xiao Yi comprehended with closed eyes.

Around him was a vast battlefield.

The battlefield was filled with a shocking smell of blood.

All around, bodies lay everywhere, probably numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

There were humans, and... demon beasts...

"Demon beasts?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Among these demon beasts, he could identify only a few.

But their aura instilled fear in him.

A sudden surge of hot blood welled in his heart.

"Fight fiercely."
