Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 472 - 458: A New Beginning

The Royal City was in a hushed silence; the faces of the martial artists in the Heavenly Pride Royal City were full of shock.

The Blue Robed Youth made it clear he was from the Taiyi Palace of the Central State, possessing a noble identity, yet Xiao Ye showed no mercy, pressuring the opponent to kneel down and apologize, moving them to tears and thoroughly convincing them of his formidable strength.

Following a king like Xiao Ye filled them with pride, yet they were also worried. With Xiao Ye behaving in such a manner, how would he gracefully conclude the situation?

Seeing the humiliated look on the Blue Robed Youth’s face, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but snort coldly: "If you’re not convinced, we can spar again. I believe even if I accidentally injure or kill you, the elders of the Taiyi Palace won’t punish me too severely, as it was you who were at fault first."

Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, the angered Blue Robed Youth felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, extinguishing his rage completely, a chill rising from the depths of his heart.

Be aware, Xiao Ye had performed exceptionally in the Dynasty Battle and caught the attention of Elder Tian Jiu, who devoted great effort to snatch him from the Four Great Emperor Domains. This ignited a jealous rage in him, tempting him to make a move and embarrass Xiao Ye.

Who would have thought that, although his cultivation was stronger than Xiao Ye’s, his strength and tactics paled in comparison, and if they sparred again, it would simply be masochism. Even if he were to be killed on the spot, perhaps Elder Tian Jiu wouldn’t punish Xiao Ye too harshly.

Such is the treatment a genius receives!

Thinking this, the Blue Robed Youth trembled with fear, casting aside his pride as a genius from Central State and said in a quivering voice: "Junior Brother Xiao Ye, your senior brother was wrong. I hope you, my lord, can forgive my petty offenses and not bother with me anymore. I’m willing to apologize, I’m sorry!"

As the Blue Robed Youth spoke, he looked at Xiao Ye with a face full of fear.

Xiao Ye responded to his words with a cold laugh. This person really did have the backbone of a cur; they never listen without a beating. However, he naturally did not intend to kill the Blue Robed Youth, considering that he was from the Taiyi Palace, and it was obviously not a wise decision to make an enemy before even entering the Central State.

"Today, I’ll let you off the hook. If you dare bully the martial artists of my Tianjiao Kingdom again, I’ll kill you for sure! In half a month, I will accompany you to Central State," Xiao Ye said coldly, then rose into the sky and headed deep into the Royal City.

Now that the Taiyi Palace had sent someone to fetch him, it meant the time had come for him to enter the Central State. Thus, he had some preparations to make before leaving.

After being taught a lesson by Xiao Ye, the Blue Robed Youth didn’t dare to act rashly again, becoming very well-behaved. Long Chen showed exceptional magnanimity, arranging for him to stay in a luxurious palace, well-fed and well-attended, and even provided Healing Pills for his recovery, effectively paving the way for Xiao Ye’s entry into the Taiyi Palace.

In the final three days, Xiao Ye commanded Little White to use his Talent Ability to subjugate five Half-step King Martial ferocious beasts and a hundred Virtual Martial Ninth Level beasts, lurking them in the forest near the Royal City, so they could immediately come to the rescue if a disaster befell the Royal City.

Xiao Ye only confided this information to Long Chen, who was utterly stunned upon hearing it.

When the Ye Alliance had just been established, Little White had been following him closely, and he never realized Little White possessed such special abilities. He also knew that if this information got out, it would surely cause an earthquake in the East State, and perhaps even Emperor Realm experts would take action.

Afterward, anticipating that the Tianjiao Kingdom would face undercover attacks from the South Emperor after his departure, Xiao Ye sent a message to the Heavenly God Dynasty’s stronghold in the East State, notifying the East Emperor.

Within just two days, the East Emperor replied that he would personally travel to the Southern State to warn the South Emperor and sent several King Martial Realm experts to protect the safety of the Tianjiao Royal City, finally allowing Xiao Ye to breathe a sigh of relief.

Under such pressure from all sides, even if the South Emperor’s resentment towards him was immense, they would certainly not dare to act rashly.

In the time that followed, Xiao Ye brought out Xiao Fan.

As a genius of the Xiao Alliance, Xiao Fan possessed outstanding talent and could be said to have the Emperor’s Stature. Xiao Ye had high expectations for him, as the Tianjiao Kingdom, although taking shape, had few strong experts to show for it.

Furthermore, since Xiao Ye was about to leave and didn’t know when he would return, he spared no effort in Xiao Fan’s training. He selected the most suitable Martial Arts Secret Manuals for someone in the Xuanwu Realm and presented them to Xiao Fan.

He also passed on his insights in martial arts to Xiao Fan, hoping he would grow quickly and be ready to take on great responsibilities.

Finally, a month passed.

On this day, countless martial artists in the Tianjiao Royal City came out to see Xiao Ye off.

"Brother, please take care. I will surely come to Central State to find you!" Xiao Fan’s eyes shimmered with tears as he spoke loudly to Xiao Ye.

Since his birth, he had been separated from Xiao Ye, and now having been reunited for a short time, they were facing separation again. This filled his heart with reluctance.

"Alright, your brother will wait for you in Central State," Xiao Ye said with a smile, patting Xiao Fan’s head. Then he glanced at the crowd, turned around with effort, and shot up into the sky.

With his current strength, only a place like Central State, where geniuses gathered and monsters abounded, could satisfy him. He aimed to walk the unprecedented path of Fusion Emperor Road and had to head to Central State, the most expansive stage on the True Spirit Continent.

Moreover, Central State also held Bing Ya, whom he had long been concerned about!

"King, take care!" The martial artists who came to see him off watched Xiao Ye’s gradually disappearing figure and silently wished him well in their hearts.

Guided by the blue-robed youth, Xiao Ye flew towards the center of the East State.

"Tian Yuan, where exactly is Central State in the True Spirit Continent?"

Three days later, Xiao Ye slightly furrowed his brows, looking at the blue-robed youth and speaking, even Little White on his shoulder became impatient, hopping around restlessly.

In these three days, Xiao Ye had also figured out the identity of the blue-robed youth.

"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, Central State is not actually among the Four Great States, but is within a space that was opened up by over ten thousand Emperor Martial Realm experts during ancient times. Although it’s a space, after years of development and the repeated opening by countless experts, it has become much vaster than the combined territories of the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern States. Inside, there are countless perilous lands and sect powers," explained the blue-robed youth, Tian Yuan, as he came closer.

"Opened up by over ten thousand Emperor Martial Realm experts at the same time?" Xiao Ye’s eyes sharpened, and he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

In his mind, in the era when Great Emperors did not appear, Emperor Martial Realm was the pinnacle of combat power. Since when had Emperor Martial Realm experts become so undervalued, to have casually over ten thousand of them?

Tian Yuan seemed to guess what Xiao Ye was thinking and couldn’t help but explain, "In the ancient times, there were many emerging strong individuals, and Heavenly Prides were frighteningly numerous. It is said that there were several hundred thousand Emperor Martial Realm experts, and those who received titles among them, numbered over ten thousand."

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered upon hearing this.

He had learned some of the ancient history from the Ancient Battlefield, especially during the Ultimate Palace era, where geniuses were as plentiful as stars. However, it was due to the trap and killings by the Ultimate Palace that the geniuses withered, and the True Spirit Continent entered a dark period.

It wasn’t until the third Great Emperor, the Undefeated Great Emperor, rose strongly that the martial arts of the True Spirit Continent shone brightly again.

"Even the Ultimate Palace did not completely destroy the martial arts of the True Spirit Continent; later, two Great Emperors were born. But now, six thousand years have passed, and there has been no disaster, yet it’s impossible for Emperor Level experts to emerge?" Xiao Ye thought to himself.

With this thought, Xiao Ye felt that something significant must have taken place in the subsequent six thousand years of the True Spirit Continent, which made the Great Emperor experts become an absolute rarity, it was just not widely known. However, as long as his cultivation improved, he would eventually come into contact with these secrets.

"Central State!"

Xiao Ye nodded, his eyes blazing with intense fervor.

It looked like Central State truly far exceeded his expectations. That was the place where he yearned to go.

"The powerful individual who took Yaya away was a titled Emperor Martial, referred to by people as the Ice Emperor," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

At this moment, Tian Yuan continued to explain, "The top powers of our Central State have space rifts accessible in the Four Great States, all controlled by the elders of the powers. The one I’m taking you to now is the space rift in East State belonging to our Taiyi Palace. Once we enter, we can quickly reach Taiyi Palace."

Xiao Ye came to a sudden realization. He had thought they would have to fly all the way to Central State like this. It seemed he was overthinking.

Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

At this point, Tian Yuan brought Xiao Ye to a stop before a huge stele that bore the grand characters "Taiyi," emanating a majestic aura, like the sun in the nighttime, immediately discovered by Xiao Ye.

"These must be characters left by an Emperor Martial Realm expert," Xiao Ye inwardly marveled.

In that moment, Tian Yuan formed a seal with both hands and shouted, "I, Tian Yuan of the ’Yellow Hall’ of Taiyi Palace, am now guiding the newly admitted disciple Xiao Ye, requesting the elders to allow us to pass through the space rift to the sect!"

Whoosh!

As Tian Yuan’s voice fell, the seals he formed with his hands lit up with a blazing light, creating ripples above the stele like the surface of water, and then a huge space rift was revealed, with a boundless aura rushing towards them.

Xiao Ye’s face showed a different color, hardly able to imagine what kind of sect power was hidden behind this space rift.

"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, go ahead," said Tian Yuan, and then he shot up into the sky, quickly disappearing into the space rift.

"Yaya, I am coming, this time no one can stop us from being together!" A torrential glint flashed across Xiao Ye’s eyes, and with a stride, he rushed in. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Whoosh!

As the two of them entered one after another, the space rift trembled, then closed up and disappeared into the void as if it had never appeared.
