Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 494 - 480 Joint Assessment of the Four Sub-Halls

Listening to Elder Tian Jiu’s analysis, Xiao Ye fully agreed. When he heard the last sentence from Elder Tian Jiu, he suddenly raised his head, his face full of puzzlement, and asked, "An opportunity?"

Elder Tian Jiu began to explain.

"Disciples from the four main sub-halls of the Taiyi Holy Palace must remain in their respective sub-halls for at least one year before they can participate in the joint assessment of the four main sub-halls in the middle of each year."

"At that time, the disciples of the sub-halls, based on their own strength, choose a higher level sub-hall to undergo an assessment. If they pass, they can enter that sub-hall; otherwise, they will be demoted back to their previous sub-hall."

Xiao Ye had seen this content in the Disciple Handbook before, but it was not as detailed as what Elder Tian Jiu said, so he listened quietly.

"The Earth Hall, ranking just below the Heaven Hall among the four main sub-halls, requires a minimum of five years of entry-level experience and reaching the King Martial status for two years before one is eligible to participate in the Earth Hall assessment."

"Even Qiu Ze, who was famous in the Holy Palace and comprehended the Slaughter Principle to full mastery at the age of thirty-five, becoming a powerful Slaughter King Martial, only got accepted into the Earth Hall after reaching the third year in the Holy Palace."

"With your qualifications, you are not sufficient in any aspect to participate in the Earth Hall assessment, but I am now giving you this opportunity."

Saying this, Elder Tian Jiu extended his palm towards Xiao Ye, with a jade talisman lying in his hand, engraved with a small ’Earth’ character in the center.

"As long as you can pass the assessment and successfully enter the Earth Hall, with my protection, even those monsters from the Main Hall will find it difficult to trouble you," said Elder Tian Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s body trembled, his eyes flashing with excitement as he stared deeply at Elder Tian Jiu.

He remembered that when he first arrived at the Holy Palace, Elder Tian Jiu had assured him that if he could reach the King Martial Realm within two years, he would make sure Xiao Ye could enter the Earth Hall.

Now, Elder Tian Jiu, using his personal influence, advanced this timeline by over a year, undoubtedly facing great pressure.

If Xiao Ye were to fail the assessment, even as an Elder, Elder Tian Jiu would surely be punished.

Such a favor felt enormously heavy to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was not pretentious. With such an opportunity before him, of course, he would seize it.

"Thank you, Elder Tian Jiu!" Xiao Ye took the jade talisman and solemnly bowed to Elder Tian Jiu.

Elder Tian Jiu waved his hand and said, "Don’t rush to thank me. It’s already the beginning of spring, and there are only about four months left until the summer joint assessment of the four main sub-halls of the Holy Palace. You must break through to the King Martial Realm within this time to have a chance of passing the assessment."

"However, I will speak with the Ten Law Enforcement Elders from the Yellow Hall and arrange for them to send you to the Yellow Dragon Island Space again soon, to avoid troubles from the disciples of the Main Hall," Elder Tian Jiu stated.

Xiao Ye nodded, taking Elder Tian Jiu’s kindness to heart.

He was such a person, whether it was enmity or favor, he would return it tenfold.

Knowing that the Main Hall disciples were restless and coveting Little White, Xiao Ye didn’t hesitate and turned to find the ten Law Enforcement Elders with Elder Tian Jiu.

Elder Tian Jiu, without any superfluous words, directly stated his intention.

In the Taiyi Holy Palace, the disciples of the four main sub-halls have different statuses based on their levels, and so do the Law Enforcement Elders.

Elder Tian Jiu’s status in the Holy Palace was two levels higher than the ten Law Enforcement Elders. They didn’t object to Elder Tian Jiu’s orders and immediately agreed to send Xiao Ye to the Yellow Dragon Island Space the next day.

After all, if Xiao Ye could truly break into the Earth Hall in this year’s assessment, they would share the credit for nurturing him and would be rewarded by the Holy Palace.

"The next day?" Xiao Ye was startled. Weren’t they supposed to wait fifteen days after closing the Yellow Dragon Island Space before it could be opened again?

Seeing Xiao Ye’s puzzled look, the Great Elder smiled slightly and said, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. The Yellow Dragon Island Space can be opened at any time and can accommodate all disciples of the Yellow Hall simultaneously."

"But if we were to tell you disciples this, would you still cherish it?"

Realization dawned on Xiao Ye, and the Great Elder was right. If the disciples of the Yellow Hall knew this, who would still race against time to gain insights?

Moreover, letting only a thousand disciples into the Yellow Dragon Island at a time could also foster a competitive environment.

"That’s very well, Xiao Ye, you should go back and cultivate for now. Tomorrow, let the Great Elder send you into the Yellow Dragon Island Space. As for the disciples from the Main Hall, they probably won’t bother you again today," Elder Tian Jiu said.

"Yes!" After bowing to the many Elders, Xiao Ye turned and left, returning to his own residence. fгeewebnovёl.com

"There are only four months left. I must reach the King Martial Realm," said Xiao Ye, sitting cross-legged on his bed, his eyes sparkling with brilliant divine radiance.

After today’s event, he deeply realized that in the Taiyi Holy Palace, and even the entire Central State, the concept of the strong being esteemed was more fully practiced.

As long as he reached the heights of the Red Robed Gentleman or Ye like Rufeng, he could completely act unrestrained, disregarding the rules of the Holy Palace.

"Jun Shitian!" Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled.

Before being expelled, Jun Shitian was the foremost figure of the Main Hall. Both Red Robed Gentleman and Ye Wufeng, being high-level King Martial, could jointly contend with an Emperor Realm powerhouse for a time. Wouldn’t Jun Shitian be even more terrifying?

The existence of Jun Shitian was like an invisible mountain, constantly pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

To shatter this mountain, he could only quickly enhance his own cultivation and strength!

Moreover, Bing Ya was waiting for him within the influence of another massive entity. Without sufficient strength, how could he walk together with Bing Ya?

"First enhance my cultivation, then enter the Yellow Dragon Island Space for four months of arduous cultivation. I hope by then I can ascend to King Martial!" Xiao Ye touched the Time Tower seal on his chest.

Fortunately, he had the Time Tower in hand, giving him infinite confidence.

"With my cultivation of the Four Emperors Skills, the King Tribulation it attracts might even be more terrifying than Little White!" Xiao Ye thought to himself, remembering the Heavenly Tribulation he had triggered when breaking through to the Void Martial Realm.

What about ascending to King Martial?

"However, thinking about these matters now is still a bit premature, especially since my Space Ring still holds treasures obtained from the Dynasty Battle." Xiao Ye shook his head, took out a High Grade Essence Stone, and began cultivating with the help of the Qi Condensing Array.

After all, once he entered the Yellow Dragon Island Space, there would no longer be a Qi Gathering Array to aid his cultivation.

Whoosh!

Endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, catalyzed by the Qi Condensing Array, furiously surged into Xiao Ye’s body, then refined into Void Martial Power, devoured by the Four Cave Heavens.

Days of cultivation always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a day had gone by.

The morning sunlight was warm, spreading over the earth, dispelling the chill of early spring.

The Great Elder personally arrived, came to Xiao Ye’s residence, and then took Xiao Ye to the mountain where the Spatial Array to the Yellow Dragon Road was located.

Disciples in the Yellow Hall continued their solitary cultivation, unaware that Xiao Ye’s final cultivation session in the Yellow Hall had already begun.

Whoosh!

After the Great Elder activated the Array, a space rift appeared in mid-air. Xiao Ye, holding the Yellow Dragon Token, charged in, and in a blur, he was inside the Yellow Dragon Island Space.

"Little White, let’s start our final sprint!" Xiao Ye looked at the deserted Yellow Dragon Island Space, threw back his head, and laughed loudly.

"Woo woo!"

Standing on Xiao Ye’s shoulder, Little White seemed to sense Xiao Ye’s emotions and, also getting excited, cried out.

Swoosh!

The next moment, Xiao Ye, carrying Little White, headed towards the small space left by Qiu Ze filled with inspiration.

On the other side, not long after Xiao Ye left, nine figures, god-like in appearance, emerged above the Yellow Hall.

They all looked very young, each radiant and outstanding, possessing amazing King Martial Realm suppression, roaring and surging like an ocean, smashing the void, sweeping across the entire Yellow Hall in an instant.

All the disciples of the Yellow Hall had their hearts racing, trembling under these nine terrifying suppressions, and even the Ten Law Enforcement Elders were no exception.

What Elder Tian Jiu said had not happened; these nine figures were indeed monsters from the Main Hall.

Among these nine, neither the Red Robed Gentleman nor Ye Rufeng was present, but the cultivation of these nine was not weaker than the two, and some were even stronger.

They forcefully inquired about Xiao Ye’s whereabouts. The Ten Law Enforcement Elders did not directly reveal Xiao Ye’s location, only saying that Xiao Ye had gone out for cultivation.

Immediately, the nine monsters were dissatisfied, ready to take action against the ten Law Enforcement Elders. Fortunately, Elder Tian Jiu, worried, came once again with another Emperor Realm Elder, and this calamity was averted.

However, the turmoil caused by Little White continued to ferment, with disciples from the Main Hall and other Sub-Halls arriving daily, trying to find Xiao Ye.

But they soon discovered that Xiao Ye seemed to have evaporated from the human world, completely disappearing from the Yellow Hall, and even the other disciples of the Yellow Hall did not know where Xiao Ye was.

After many fruitless attempts, the disciples from the Main Hall and other Sub-Halls left disappointed, and the turmoil gradually subsided. As the day for the joint assessment of the Four Main Halls approached, it was destined to gradually be forgotten by people.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye actually left the Yellow Hall; I was planning on taking revenge!" Fang Hao’s eyes surged with cold light, his face filled with resentment at the thought of Xiao Ye.

"Forget it, I’ve been a beginner for four years now, and it’s been a year and a half since I ascended to King Martial. At this year’s joint assessment of the Four Great Halls, even if I can’t enter the Earth Hall, I must enter the Xuanzi Hall!" Fang Hao clenched his fists tightly.

"Only then will I have the qualifications to access more Treasure Lands and the supreme King Martial Combat Skills!" A fervent look appeared in Fang Hao’s eyes.
