Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1369 - 1352: News of Zhuang Zhou Once More
Chongyang City is a border city in the Fengyun Domain. To enter the Fengyun Domain, one must pass through this city, which can be considered a heroic pass.
In the Central Province Eighteen Domains, the Fengyun Domain is a place where heroes are abundant and its natural resources are rich. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here is more abundant than in other domains. Coupled with the presence of the most powerful sect, the Infinite Sect, which is very low-key, there is no strict control over the Fengyun Domain, allowing free access and attracting many martial artists who are keen to come here for arduous cultivation.
Over time, the atmosphere of cultivation in the Fengyun Domain has become extremely strong, making it a paradise for independent practitioners.
Currently, Xiao Ye is in a tavern within the Fengyun Domain, listening to a secret that greatly interests him.
Zhuang Zhou appeared in the Fengyun Domain several days ago!
Moreover, Zhuang Zhou launched an attack on the disciples of the Infinite Sect, killing nine elite disciples in succession, enraging the Infinite Sect, which has dispatched a Titled Emperor Martial to hunt Zhuang Zhou in the Fengyun Domain.
However, Zhuang Zhou’s strength is also considerable, and the Infinite Sect’s Titled Emperor Martial has yet to find any trace of Zhuang Zhou.
"Why did Zhuang Zhou come to the Fengyun Domain and why did he make enemies with the Infinite Sect?" Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with a keen light, his mind filled with curiosity.
Although Zhuang Zhou is a hidden genius with no affiliation, he is the successor of the super strong Wuya Venerable and is quite famous in the Central State nowadays.
When he came to the Wuji Sect to offer congratulations at the time, Xiao Ye had considered inviting him to join the Wuji Sect, but after the sect establishment ceremony, Zhuang Zhou left in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, he heard news about Zhuang Zhou here.
"Alas, Zhuang Zhou is a young talent after all. Although he can’t compare to the legendary young generation of Central State - Wuji Sect’s Sect Leader Xiao Ye, he is still strong enough to be on par with the Four Great Emperor’s Sons. What reason could he have for opposing the Infinite Sect?"
"Indeed, we have so many sect forces in Central State, and the Infinite Sect is considered the most gentle in its conduct among all sects. They are very low-key and do not suppress people with their power. Even we independent practitioners entering the Fengyun Domain do not need to pay any price, and many places are open for us to cultivate, otherwise the Fengyun Domain wouldn’t be a paradise for independent practitioners."
...
Many independent practitioners were in the tavern, drinking while discussing various worldly matters. When they mentioned the Infinite Sect, their eyes reflected gratitude.
"Could it be that these fellows don’t know that the Infinite Sect is actually a force supported by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain?" Because Wu Ming was imprisoned by the Infinite Sect, Xiao Ye didn’t have a good impression of this sect. Seeing these martial artists praise the Infinite Sect, he naturally felt surprised.
However, he quickly understood.
Many of these martial artists are independent practitioners, who have never entered the gates of Central State sects and have a very piecemeal understanding of the worldly situation. It is normal not to know that the Iron Blood Emperor Domain is behind the Infinite Sect.
"Perhaps Zhuang Zhou is not targeting the Infinite Sect, but rather the Iron Blood Emperor Domain behind it. In this case, I might be able to draw him into the Wuji Sect." Xiao Ye smiled slightly, making a decision.
He would not mind helping Zhuang Zhou if he encountered him again.
After all, Zhuang Zhou has great potential and is destined to become an unparalleled strong figure in the future.
"According to the map’s positions, the place where my master is imprisoned is located at the headquarters of the Infinite Sect, which is about ten days’ journey from Chongyang City at my flying speed."
Seeing the sky grow dark, Xiao Ye did not continue his journey but instead found an inn to stay the night.
He took out a map to study it carefully and inquired further about the Wuji Sect, discovering that the Wuji Sect was becoming increasingly powerful and feared by none. In contrast, a fierce slaughter broke out when the Four Great Emperor Domains discovered a group of strong individuals from the Ultimate Palace.
Other than that, there were no more significant news, so Xiao Ye focused on cultivating.
Having entered the realm of Fengyun Domain, he could no longer cultivate freely as before and had to rescue Wu Ming as soon as possible.
Over the five months of cultivation, Xiao Ye had gained a specific inspiration for the mystical path of the laws of Heaven and Earth. It felt as though something different from the Slaughter Principle was taking root within him but was difficult to grasp thoroughly upon close contemplation.
"What a pity. It seems comprehension of the law profound mystery requires fortuitous encounters and cannot be obtained through seeking it out, but..."
Xiao Ye shook his head in lament, raising his palm. In his hand, the vast Slaughter Principle condensed into a blood-red blade light about the size of a palm, oscillating unpredictably and emitting a cold killing intent, layers of blood light blooming and making the entire room seem like a hellish chaotic scene.
Being able to condense the vast Slaughter Principle into a blade light the size of a palm demonstrated the strength of Xiao Ye’s control over the Slaughter Principle.
"The Slaughter Principle has reached level sixty-seven. With just a level sixty-seven Slaughter Principle, I should be able to contend with a Four Star Titled Emperor Martial, right?" Xiao Ye’s face revealed a confident smile.
The greatest progress in these five months of casual cultivation was undoubtedly in the Slaughter Principle.
The Slaughter Principle, as the most formidable in attack power amongst the Three Great Laws, can match the Perfect Realm of Mystical Path at a level sixty entry-level of Titled Emperor Martial, showing this for certain.
If he could comprehend the Slaughter Principle to around level ninety, Xiao Ye could likely contend with a Half-step Emperor.
However, this is extremely difficult!
A night quickly passed.
As the morning sun illuminated the earth from the east, Xiao Ye set out according to the map’s markings.
Having passed through Chongyang City, a vast, boundless plain came into view for Xiao Ye. Here, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was dense, the scenery was beautiful, with clear mountains, lucid waters, numerous magnificent mountains, and ridges spreading like Gray Dragons across the earth.
Occasionally, he would spot scattered practitioners moving through the mountains and forests, and sometimes hear the roaring of powerful ferocious beasts.
"No wonder the Fengyun Domain is a place where heroes emerge, if it weren’t for the support of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain behind the Infinite Sect, this domain would have been taken over by other sects long ago," Xiao Ye exclaimed.
"Perhaps there are many treasure lands and heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Fengyun Domain, if Little White were here, it would be great," Xiao Ye mused as he flew.
Little White had a transcendent sense for treasures, but unfortunately, he didn’t bring Little White along this time. He couldn’t possibly scour the Fengyun Domain slowly by himself, it would be too time-consuming.
Five months of casual cultivation was already a luxury, not to mention the treasures that he now deems worthy are extremely rare.
"Hmm?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
After two days of flying, Xiao Ye noticed many scattered practitioners all heading westward, each face filled with excitement, so he paused.
"Could the Infinite Sect have found Zhuang Zhou?"
Without hesitation, Xiao Ye followed these scattered practitioners and rushed over.
