Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1499: True Advancement

"Big brother."

Ding Qiuyue looked at Xiao Yi, who had awoken instantly, with joy on her face and a sigh of relief.

"What, afraid I wouldn’t wake up?" Xiao Yi smiled.

"Yes." Ding Qiuyue nodded, "But I always believed big brother would definitely wake up."

Xiao Yi smiled and patted Ding Qiuyue’s little head.

In the next second, his cold gaze swept over each of the sword cultivators around him.

Finally, his gaze fixed on Fengg Ji.

"You still haven’t told me how you plan to be impolite?"

Fengg Ji’s face suddenly darkened, but he only snorted coldly without speaking.

The sword cultivators around looked at each other, and no one answered.

Xiao Yi shrugged, "Ha, just now I heard someone say, ’birds of a feather flock together.’

"That saying is not wrong." Xiao Yi sneered coldly.

"Trash only deserves to be with trash."

As he spoke, Xiao Yi also looked at Fengg Ji.

Clearly, his words were directed at Fengg Ji and those academy disciples.

"What did you say?" Fengg Ji and a group of arrogant-faced academy disciples turned cold.

"You know exactly what I mean." Xiao Yi shrugged.

"What, are you angry and want to fight?"

"Feel free to make a move."

Xiao Yi sneered, "I don’t mind if, in half a month, what gets thrown out of the Sword Emperor Stele Space are corpses one by one."

"You..." The group of academy disciples were furious.

Fengg Ji was angry, but ultimately dared not speak further or make a move.

Xiao Yi’s name in the Central Region was more infamous, with unpredictable killing rage.

"Forget it." Fengg Ji stood with his hands behind his back, "In the Sword Emperor Stele Space, comprehension is the priority."

"Other unnecessary disputes, we can’t be bothered to deal with."

"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly, not bothering with these small-minded people.

Boom...

At this moment, a surge of powerful energy shot over from afar.

The energy instantly entered Xiao Yi’s body.

Xiao Yi neither dodged nor cared.

He knew this was the beginning of the Sword Qi road, the power contained in that Sword Stele.

Anyone who comprehends the Sword Qi road will receive the power from the Sword Stele.

Of course, this amount of power is not a lot.

It is the power the Sword Stele has absorbed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy over decades.

Every few decades, the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest opens once, as does the Sword Emperor Stele Space.

These powers are a gift to the sword cultivators who comprehend within it.

Xiao Yi sensed inside his body.

The Primordial Power in his body increased by about ten percent.

This also meant his cultivation instantly leaped from the Ninth Layer of the Saint King Realm to the peak of the Saint King Realm, with his Qi Spring full.

Given his enormous Qi Spring, increasing his Primordial Power by ten percent was quite considerable.

Of course, it was nothing much.

Which sword cultivator who received a Sword Token and came here to participate in this grand event is not a Supreme Genius of a great power, or an old sword cultivator famous for years?

These sword cultivators don’t care about such little power.

For all sword cultivators, the improvement in Sword Dao from the comprehension road is the most important thing.

Needless to say, these over a hundred sword cultivators who passed the Sword Qi road all gained greatly in Sword Dao.

After returning to their respective forces, they can use vast cultivation resources to rapidly soar their cultivation and strength.

As for Xiao Yi.

The reason he was the first to reach the end of the first layer but took a full two days to awaken was somewhat special.

Two days ago.

He reached the end, only a few meters away from finishing the Sword Qi road, just a matter of a few steps.

But those few steps held him up for two full days.

"Comprehend, three thousand years." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but shake his head.

Indeed, that last image was the comprehension scene of Senior Zhanxing.

Senior Zhanxing had been in seclusion for three thousand years, painstakingly pursuing the Dao.

Xiao Yi also found himself among them, arduously pursuing the Dao.

In hindsight, these mere eight days of comprehension; for any sword cultivator present who passed the comprehension, it was an extremely rare experience.

In just eight days, the years they spent in a state of comprehension spanned over ten thousand years.

Of course, those images were ultimately not a continuous life, so the time was largely truncated.

And another point.

In fact, personally experiencing such a long span of images should have a great impact.

But the images were intermittent, and comprehenders could clearly know they were themselves.

Therefore, it wouldn’t cause too much impact on one’s thoughts or memories.

"It’s a pity, I don’t follow the Star-cutting Sword Dao." Xiao Yi regretted internally.

Although he assumed the identity of Senior Zhanxing, experiencing all his battles, comprehension, and cultivation.

But ultimately, this was Senior Zhanxing’s sword path.

Not Xiao Yi’s own sword path.

If Xiao Yi were willing to abandon his entire sword path and start again from scratch.

As long as he had enough cultivation resources, he could elevate himself to a practitioner of Senior Zhanxing’s level within at most a few decades.

However, what meaning would there be in ’copying’ another Senior Zhanxing?

Xiao Yi is Xiao Yi; the sword path he walks will only be his own.

The sword cultivators here, who passed the comprehension road, also experienced the battles, insights, and cultivation of the sword stele masters they comprehended.

If they were willing to abandon their own Sword Dao and had enough cultivation resources, they could reach the level of the sword stele masters in just a few decades.

However, since they could pass the comprehension road, it represented that they were more outstanding than the sword stele masters.

Given time, maybe a century later, they could take their own Sword Dao to that level, or even surpass it.

So why rush into minor objectives and forsake their core?

After passing the comprehension road, aside from the enhancement in Sword Dao level, the most important point is...

"Whether a truly greater gain can be achieved will depend on this final sword." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, pondering silently.

"Do you have confidence to enter the second layer?" Xiao Yi looked at Ding Qiuyue and lightly asked.

Ding Qiuyue shook her head.

"I feel reaching the end of the first layer was my limit; I cannot take the last step."

Ding Qiuyue appeared troubled.

In fact, the more than a hundred sword cultivators present were in the same predicament.

They had passed the Sword Qi road early and reached the end.

But that last step, they couldn’t take, and they couldn’t enter the second layer.

"Yuee Tian, help me take care of Qiuyue." Xiao Yi looked at Yuee Tian.

"Yes." Yuee Tian nodded.

But soon, Yuee Tian caught on, "Domain Master, what about you?"

"Me? Naturally entering the second layer." Xiao Yi smiled.

"See you outside the Sword Emperor Stele." Xiao Yi patted Ding Qiuyue’s little head and took a step forward.

At the end of the first layer, there was a huge barrier.

That was the obstacle preventing all sword cultivators from entering the second layer.

Clang...

The Cold Flame Sword appeared out of nowhere, striking with one blade.

Xiao Yi suddenly closed his eyes, re-entering a state of comprehension.

In his mind, the images appeared once again.

This was the final step image.

In the image, Senior Zhanxing seemed to be in the void.

Senior Zhanxing, eyes tightly closed.

After a moment, Senior Zhanxing’s eyes opened, and the Star-cutting Sword in his hand struck heavily.

This sword seemed to slash through the void.

This sword was his strongest, integrating his entire Sword Dao after three thousand years of comprehension.

The Star-cutting Sword struck heavily.

Before him was a giant star.

As the sword fell, the giant star shattered and was annihilated in the Sword Qi.

This was the true Star-cutting Sword, the strongest sword strike.

In reality, Xiao Yi’s eyes snapped open as the Cold Flame Sword sliced through.

The barrier shattered open with a rumble.

Second update.
