Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1598 - 1568: Too Powerful and Ruthless, Yet Full of Emotion
Chapter 1598 -1568: Too Powerful and Ruthless, Yet Full of Emotion
Xiao Yi’s gaze slowly lifted, staring directly at the mural on the ninth floor in front of him.
Within the entire Qingtian Tower.
There are a total of nine floors, each with a mural.
The first eight floors each represent the seven emotions and six desires, and in the process of comprehension, Xiao Yi’s state of mind has been greatly enhanced.
He had been curious about what the mural on the ninth floor contained.
How could it have trapped the Sky Suppressing King for hundreds of thousands of years, unable to fully comprehend it?
But just one glance…
Xiao Yi’s body trembled sharply.
His pupils contracted violently, ripples circling in his eyes.
Transforming into two swirling vortices.
Continuously rotating.
As if they were turning into two pitch-black bottomless pits!
The pupils reflected the scene of the mural in front, and that mural was actually an ancient pair of eyes.
These eyes appeared grayish-white in color.
Composed of layer upon layer, they seemed like two swirling vortices.
It seemed as if the depths of these eyes led to the end of the world, directly connecting to the world’s terminus.
Xiao Yi’s consciousness was also instantly drawn into the mural.
He found himself transformed into a supreme deity!
Suspended high above the nine heavens.
Overlooking all living beings.
Watching the birth of the world, watching its demise.
Watching creatures come into being, watching gods perish…
The cycle of life and death.
Everything operated methodically under the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
At the beginning…
Watching those partings of life and death, watching those families torn apart, Xiao Yi still felt a tinge of agitation and reluctance.
But as he saw more, he slowly became cold and indifferent.
Indifferent to life and death.
Indifferent to farewells.
Indifferent to everything…
Yet.
No matter how many times heaven and earth perished, no matter how many times creatures reincarnated, he remained the lofty deity.
No one could shake him the slightest.
Gradually, even Xiao Yi himself grew accustomed to this coldness and ruthlessness.
Suddenly…
The scene shifted.
Xiao Yi found himself no longer that cold and unfeeling deity, but a kind-hearted new god.
Watching the separations of life and death, he felt pity for the fate of mankind.
Watching the fall of gods, he empathized deeply.
Seeing mortals tormented by disease and suffering, his heart could not bear it…
To stop the flood from harming mortals, Xiao Yi transformed into a mortal, leading people to dig canals, dredge rivers, and control the floods.
Seeing disease and plague spreading, Xiao Yi transformed into a barefooted healer, roaming the world, tasting various herbs, authoring medical texts, and treating the people.
When the Heavenly Demon invaded, and gods fell one after another.
Xiao Yi stepped forward, battled the Heavenly Demon, saving gods from catastrophe…
Yet…
This time, after successfully controlling the flood, Xiao Yi was suspected by the emperor because of his high position and power, and was ultimately executed on false charges, with nine generations of his family wiped out.
He tasted all kinds of herbs and wrote medical books to save lives, but ultimately died from the accumulated poisons.
He stepped forward to fight the Heavenly Demon, saving all beings, and rescued the gods, but in the end, the master of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons descended.
And the gods, for peace, accepted the conditions of the master of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, sacrificing Xiao Yi.
In contrast to the unfeeling deity, no one could shake him from beginning to end.
Aloof, ruling over the world.
The kind god in this life, however, suffered constant hardships and met a tragic end.
Two nearly completely opposite extremes.
Boom!
The scene before him completely dissipated.
Xiao Yi’s consciousness returned to his body, and the mural also returned to calm, showing only a pair of gray eyes.
The Sky Suppressing King looked at Xiao Yi, his gaze cold and emotionless, speaking lightly: “How was it?”
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then recounted to the Sky Suppressing King everything he saw in the mural, the two lifetimes’ encounters he experienced.
“As expected…”
The Sky Suppressing King nodded. He had seen the same scenes in the ninth mural and continued, “The Pavilion Master also saw such scenes back then. He attempted to pass the challenge once and failed. Since then, he has never returned here. Do you wish to try?”
The Sky Suppressing King pointed at a bronze lock in front of the mural.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then walked towards the bronze lock.
The palm fell upon it.
Buzz!
Golden light flowed over the bronze lock, like brilliant meteors falling from the sky, crashing onto the bronze lock with a roar.
The light on the bronze lock also surged forth, enveloping Xiao Yi within it.
In the previous eight levels, a voice had emerged, and now it resurfaced in his mind: “You have experienced the lives of two different deities. Given another chance, which would you choose?”
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then calmly and resolutely said, “I choose neither!”
“…”
The voice remained silent for a moment before continuing, “Why? By choosing one, you will gain world-altering power and supreme authority. Why not choose?”
Xiao Yi replied faintly, “I don’t wish to be one of those who are detached and emotionless, nor the benevolent deities with overflowing kindness. I am myself, whether human or god, I remain myself…”
“You mean to say you are yourself?”
“That’s right!”
The last trace of doubt in Xiao Yi’s eyes vanished, and his lips curled into a confident smile, “Above all emotions, I treasure feelings! My enemies, I will vanquish! My friends, I will protect! I remain unchanged, untouched by external influences…”
Bang!
The bronze lock before him trembled fiercely.
A surge of energy, like enlightenment, poured wildly into Xiao Yi’s body.
This was the purest soul power.
Above Xiao Yi’s head, it gathered into a vortex, like a gaping maw, ravenously absorbing the energy.
Xiao Yi’s Primordial Spirit sea surged with towering waves as the energy entered.
The azure waters turned into pure gold.
His divine sense rapidly ascended.
Primordial Spirit.
It transformed into brilliant gold.
Suspended above his head.
Beneath the Primordial Spirit rose a golden Lotus Platform, and above it, three purple-gold blossoms of the Primordial Spirit slowly emerged.
This scene left the Sky Suppressing King in disbelief, as he suddenly stood up: “Three flowers atop, golden lotus beneath? This kid’s Primordial Spirit has reached the Saint Emperor Realm? That’s impossible, how could that be possible…”
Sky Suppressing King trembled all over.
He had been trapped in Qingtian Tower for so many years, unable to grasp the profound meaning of the ninth-level fresco.
Yet, Xiao Yi succeeded?
He received the blessings of Qingtian Tower, allowing his Primordial Spirit to step into the Saint Emperor Realm?
“No, that’s not right…”
The Sky Suppressing King’s expression shifted rapidly, soon realizing Xiao Yi hadn’t reached the Saint Emperor Realm; his Primordial Spirit had only transformed to Saint Emperor level, but his cultivation hadn’t actually improved.
The Sky Suppressing King suddenly considered a possibility, swallowing hard: “Can’t be true, could it be this kid hasn’t reached his limit? He can still elevate further? His cultivation hasn’t reached the threshold to breakthrough the Saint Emperor’s boundary? That’s unimaginable, even in the Nine Heavens Domain, such a fearsome genius wouldn’t exist…”
But the Sky Suppressing King’s exclamations quickly stopped.
Even as disbelief filled him, everything before him was undeniably true.
Xiao Yi’s Primordial Spirit had indeed achieved the Saint Emperor Boundary.
As long as his cultivation accumulated enough, he could directly enter the Saint Emperor Realm.
However…
Xiao Yi’s foundation was too profound!
Even though he was at the Ultimate Holy King, level twenty, his limit wasn’t reached, still insufficient to enter the next realm.
It’s akin to a general already promoted to commander level.
But the troops amounting to just a squad, naturally not forming an army.
Only when the troop size increases to meet the commander rank, will qualitative change occur.
That’s Xiao Yi’s current situation! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
The Primordial Spirit as rank, reaching the breakthrough threshold to Saint Emperor, but cultivation hasn’t peaked.
Yet in entering the Saint Emperor realm, the hardest part is the elevation of Primordial Spirit!
Xiao Yi need only continue accumulating, and when his cultivation peaks, he will seamlessly step into the Saint Emperor realm!
Sky Suppressing King stared at Xiao Yi, struggling to find words, swallowing repeatedly, opening his mouth but unsure what to say.
He wanted to ask Xiao Yi about the secret of the ninth level.
But his pride held him back from speaking.
Seeing Sky Suppressing King hesitate, Xiao Yi’s smile grew, and he took the initiative to speak, “Senior Sky Suppressing King, have you ever thought about what you truly want?”
Sky Suppressing King paused, furrowing his brows: “What do I want?”
Xiao Yi nodded, “Others’ lives, however magnificent, belong to others. Only a life under one’s own control is truly one’s own…”
Buzz!
Sky Suppressing King’s face changed abruptly, endlessly repeating Xiao Yi’s words.
Like entranced, he sat again before the fresco.
Watching the entranced Sky Suppressing King, Xiao Yi stayed unworried, as this state could only be resolved by Sky Suppressing King himself.
If he can comprehend thoroughly, he will enter the Saint Emperor realm.
If not…
Then he will ultimately halt here!
But.
It was beyond Xiao Yi’s control, as he now left Qingtian Tower to return to Xuanguang City and command the Zhen Tian Legion, launching a counterattack…
