Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 480 - 466: Searching

Listening to the murmurs beside him, Xiao Ye’s expression remained calm as he followed He Shaohan all the way to the peak.

There were even more disciples at the peak, pairs of sharp eyes tearing through the void and landing on Xiao Ye, among them were not a few whose cultivation had reached the King Martial Realm, their aura bringing not a small amount of pressure to Xiao Ye.

"Elder He!" The other nine Law Enforcement Elders from the Yellow Hall stood proudly in the void, and when they saw He Shaohan, they greeted him with a cupped fist salute, finally casting curious glances at Xiao Ye.

During this time, they had also heard about Xiao Ye’s battle with Xie Ming—a new disciple who had just joined the Holy Palace, and moreover, from East State, had defeated Xie Ming, which made them click their tongues in wonder.

He Shaohan gestured for Xiao Ye to stand on the peak and wait for the opening of Yellow Dragon Island, then went off to chat with the other nine Elders.

Xiao Ye stood at the peak, curiously sweeping his gaze around, and immediately noticed that on a clearing at the peak, an array was outlined with strange lines, exuding an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

"The means of an Emperor Martial Realm expert are indeed formidable," Xiao Ye mused inwardly.

As time passed, more and more disciples arrived at the peak, all possessing the Yellow Dragon Token and gathering together to chat, the noise bustling, and there were also a few disciples who came over to proffer friendship to Xiao Ye.

Although Xiao Ye was a newbie, he had a not small reputation within the Yellow Hall, especially his display of strength at Virtual Martial Level 7, which shocked many disciples.

Xiao Ye responded very politely.

After all, he still needed to spend some time in the Yellow Hall in the future, naturally, he needed to make friends.

Before long, he narrowed the distance with those few disciples, learning many secrets about Yellow Dragon Island.

"Alright, the time has come, now activate the array. But before that, I must warn you, after entering Yellow Dragon Island, you will also be subject to the palace’s rules, and you cannot harm the life of other disciples."

"After half a month, the array will open again, allowing you out."

From the Ten Law Enforcement Elders, an emaciated old man stepped out. His eyes were sunken, with a hooked nose, giving him a somewhat sinister look. Every disciple who heard the old man fell silent.

"Is he the Great Elder with the highest position in the Yellow Hall?" Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, recalling the information he got from those disciples.

The Ten Law Enforcement Elders of the Yellow Hall were also ranked according to strength, with those higher in position having more control over rights, such as He Shaohan being ranked third among the Ten Law Enforcement Elders, possessing no small amount of authority.

"Has everyone heard clearly?" The Great Elder shouted coldly, his voice thundering in the void like a clap of thunder, causing Xiao Ye’s heart to skip a beat.

This Great Elder’s cultivation is infinitely close to the Emperor Martial Realm.

"We understand, Great Elder!" A thousand disciples spoke out one after another.

"Very well, then the array opens!" The Great Elder nodded, stepped into the void above the array, his hands swiftly forming Seal Techniques, streaks of fierce energy charging toward the array, reviving the strange patterns within the array, sending out peculiar fluctuations that remotely echoed with the Seal Techniques in the Great Elder’s hands.

Whoosh!

A giant pillar of light soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

"Alright, you can now enter with the Yellow Dragon Token," the Great Elder shouted.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

...

Instantly, one disciple after another took out their Yellow Dragon Tokens and rushed toward the immense light pillar, their figures vanishing inside the array.

Xiao Ye also took out his Yellow Dragon Token and charged in, immediately feeling dizzy as the world spun around him, and he found himself in a space filled with stars. At this moment, he felt the Yellow Dragon Token in his hand vibrate, and then, it emitted a stream of energy that shaped into a sphere of energy, enveloping his body.

Rumble!

Almost simultaneously, a furiously howling gale sharp as a blade charged towards Xiao Ye, but it was blocked by the energy membrane.

"Brother Xiao, to enter Yellow Dragon Island, one must go through the Void Tunnel. Inside, the Void Hurricanes are very powerful, enough to severely injure a high-level King Martial Realm expert. We of the Void Martial Realm cannot withstand it, so we need the energy from the Yellow Dragon Token to protect us."

At that moment, a gentle voice reached him, Xiao Ye turned his head to see Ji Fei, the disciple he had befriended at the peak, explaining to him.

"Many thanks to Brother Ji for the guidance," Xiao Ye nodded, observing the surrounding environment, only feeling his body rapidly moving forward in this space of stars.

In a short while, Xiao Ye only felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, discovering that he had already appeared above a vast expanse of sea.

Swoosh!

Not far in front of him, a wave of terrifying waves came crashing, engulfing Xiao Ye in the sea.

Xiao Ye quickly soared into the sky, breaking through the waves and flying into the heavens, looking around.

The expanse of Heaven and Nature of the whole space was somewhat strange, with no sun or stars, purely a hazy swath of white.

And amidst the vast ocean, numerous islands stood tall in the sea, crowded as far as the eye could see, countless, causing Xiao Ye to inhale a breath of cool air in surprise.

When he was in the outside world, he had already heard from the elder disciples that Yellow Dragon Island actually referred to not a single island, but a collective name for all the islands in this sea.

Before leaving, disciples from previous generations of the Yellow Hall would choose an island to leave behind their inspirations, so finding the right inspiration for oneself depended not just on luck, but also experience.

Many elder disciples who entered Yellow Dragon Island multiple times failed to find suitable inspirations and eventually left empty-handed.

A thousand disciples appeared above the ocean; they did not stay but seized the time to tear through the space and fly away, heading for those islands.

"Brother Xiao, we’re going too, make sure you all hurry and find inspirations suitable for your own profoundness," Ji Fei and several other disciples gave Xiao Ye a fist salute, then followed the rest of the disciples towards the islands.

"Where exactly is Qiu Ze’s Slaughter Principle inspiration?" Xiao Ye fixed his gaze on these islands.

Xiao Ye had some trouble as he looked at the densely packed islands in front of him.

Most martial artists from the True Spirit Continent realized profoundness from the other two great Laws, so the inspirations left here are certainly of these two Laws; those disciples would not find it too challenging, as long as they had a bit of patience, they would eventually find it.

But his case was different.

Among so many islands, only one contained the inspiration left by Qiu Ze in those days; finding it was incredibly difficult.

"I only have half a month’s time, I cannot give up," Xiao Ye’s heart became anxious, and then he flew toward the first island.

At this point, five elder disciples had descended on the first island; they were obviously experienced and were fiercely battling by a large green boulder, clearly contesting for it.

His gaze swept over and instantly discovered that the boulder was covered in inscriptions, radiating with the aura of Wind Profoundness.

"Hmph!"

The five elder disciples, noticing Xiao Ye’s approach, let out a cold humph, surprisingly stopped fighting, and together stared at Xiao Ye, their eyes brimming with icy fierceness.

Xiao Ye slightly smiled, the boulder inscribed with insights into Wind Profoundness would be of no use to him even if given as a gift.

Xiao Ye then stepped through the air, left, and flew towards the next island.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky was still daylight, while Xiao Ye had yet to find an island infused with the Slaughter Principle inspiration. He even tried releasing Void Martial Thought, but to no avail; for some reason, the islands could block the detection of consciousness.

Xiao Ye, out of options, released Little White from his arms; although Little White’s senses were keen, the numerous islands like stars in the sky rendered it helpless.

Time slowly passed, and after ten days, Xiao Ye had searched at least ten thousand islands, still coming up empty-handed.

At the same time, he witnessed too many fights erupting over the contest for profoundness insights; he even saw two elder disciples who had ascended to the King Martial Realm, fighting a great battle over the contest for inspiration.

Their powerful strength made Xiao Ye exclaim in admiration.

The Taiyi Holy Palace truly lived up to its reputation as one of Central State’s top forces. Even the Yellow Hall disciples, the lowest in rank, were profoundly unfathomable, such that even if he entered the fray, he wouldn’t be sure of victory.

"Could it be that I will have to leave empty-handed this time?" Xiao Ye stood in midair, his face showing a bitter smile.

Only twenty days remained, yet he hadn’t even a hint of a clue.

Due to only a few martial artists grasping the Slaughter Law, the inspiration left by the Law here naturally became uncared for, with no one experienced to tell him, leaving him to search alone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye envied the disciples who grasped the profoundness of the other two great Laws.

"Whoo-whoo!"

At that moment, Little White, who had been helping with the search, suddenly flew back and called out from Xiao Ye’s shoulder, its bright eyes filled with excitement.

"Hm? You mean you’ve found something?" Understanding Little White’s meaning, Xiao Ye was invigorated and quickly followed Little White’s instructions and flew forward.

Before long, Xiao Ye arrived above a desolate island and carefully sensed around but did not detect any presence of the Slaughter Principle, and was just about to question Little White.

Suddenly, a figure rose from the neighboring island into the sky, turning into a blood-red streak as it rushed forward.

Xiao Ye was stunned, followed by an utter shock: "Another disciple who has grasped the Slaughter Principle!"

He could clearly feel a trace of the Slaughter Principle seeping out from the other, though extremely faint, which Xiao Ye sharply captured.

"Whoo-whoo!" At that time, Little White called out again.

"Little White, you are saying this person knows where the inspiration for the Slaughter Principle is?" Xiao Ye exclaimed.

"Whoo-whoo!" Seeing Xiao Ye understood its meaning, Little White excitedly nodded its head.

"Hurry and follow!" Xiao Ye didn’t have time to ask how Little White knew, but seeing that disciple appeared somewhat sneaky, he quietly followed.
