Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1462: Holy-grade Technique

Xiao Yi had already flown away.

His direction was towards the central area of the Sword Domain, where the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest was located.

Two hours later.

Xiao Yi passed by a large city, and his flying figure suddenly stopped.

Here in the Sword Domain, although the martial artists are simple and the architecture is basic, there are still large cities scattered around.

Glancing at the large city below, he flashed downwards and descended.

The place he landed was a sub hall of the Wind Shattering Hall.

Within the large city, naturally, there were sub halls of the Ancient Eight Halls situated here.

It’s worth mentioning that the Ancient Palace is exceptionally conspicuous here.

The reason is simple: the buildings within the large city are rudimentary and simple, but only the Ancient Palace remains solemn, majestic, and dignified.

Here in the Sword Domain, it has its own characteristics.

Swordsmen, in order to maintain a mind clear and free from desires, untainted by external influences, hence everything here is extremely simplistic.

But this does not mean the Ancient Palace situated here has to conform to this style.

The Ancient Eight Halls, these eight halls that once vowed to defend the continent, from ancient times to now, from the Main Hall to every sub hall, have the same appearance.

They do not change because of anything else.

The Ancient Eight Halls themselves are a symbol of the continent.

Xiao Yi happened to come across a sub hall of the Wind Shattering Hall, so he naturally decided to stop.

He wanted to investigate matters of the Sword Domain.

There was no urgent need to rush traveling now.

Although the Sword Domain is a famous region in the Central Region, its scope is extremely large.

According to Xiao Yi’s estimation, the journey easily spans over a million miles.

However, if Xiao Yi traveled at full speed, he could reach it within a day.

The previous month’s time had been too hectic, even without enough time to investigate the situation inside the Sword Domain.

He couldn’t just wander around the Sword Domain aimlessly without knowing anything.

Understanding the grand event of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest itself needed some insights.

Entering the Wind Shattering Hall, Xiao Yi took out his token and went directly into the Scrolls Room to search.

He had the title of Vice Master, which granted him sufficient access to any information in these ordinary sub halls.

Two hours later, he had understood roughly and gained some knowledge of the Sword Domain, then he left.

Upon exiting the Scrolls Room, he was met by an elder.

"Vice Master Xiao Yi." The elder cupped his hand, performing the courtesy of an equal.

Xiao Yi similarly cupped his hand, greeted him casually.

The elder was the person in charge of this sub hall, holding the title of Sub Hall Master.

"Oh, right." Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something, smiled, and said, "I happen to have a favor to ask of Sub Hall Master."

"Vice Master Xiao Yi, you are too polite." The elder replied courteously.

Xiao Yi said, "This sub hall should have a cultivation technique for Sword Power."

"I want to use my Task Points to exchange for a copy."

"A Sword Power cultivation technique?" The elder was briefly stunned, then chuckled playfully.

"What’s the matter?" Xiao Yi appeared puzzled seeing this.

The elder was dressed in simple clothes, undoubtedly also a swordsman from the Sword Domain.

Additionally, most of the staff within the hall were also swordsmen native to the Sword Domain.

The Ancient Palace here in the Sword Domain, though outwardly unchanged, the martial artists within were clearly all native swordsmen.

The elder chuckled and said, "Every outsider martial artist who comes to the Sword Domain, especially those with identities of the Eight Palace Martial Artists, will specially exchange for a copy of the Sword Power cultivation technique."

"So your request, Vice Master Xiao Yi, was something I had anticipated long ago."

"However, I must tell you, Vice Master Xiao Yi, that this thing is utterly useless to outsider martial artists; exchanging it is a waste."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi frowned.

The elder laughed and said, "At least until now, not one outsider martial artist who has exchanged for the Sword Power technique has been able to cultivate Sword Power."

"Why?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows lightly.

The number of outsider martial artists visiting the Sword Domain should not be many.

But over so many years, with successive grand events in the Sword Domain, the number of sword cultivators coming from outside is definitely not small.

So many sword cultivators, yet not one has successfully cultivated Sword Power?

This undoubtedly surprised Xiao Yi.

"It’s very simple." The elder answered, "The Sword Power technique only assists those with no experience in cultivating Sword Power."

"But it’s not the absolute factor for cultivating Sword Power."

"Perhaps, Vice Master Xiao Yi can understand it this way: why is Sword Power a unique strength only found in the Sword Domain?"

"Why does the vast Central Region lack the existence of Sword Power?"

"Is it due to this region?" Xiao Yi thought deeply and asked.

"That’s right." The elder nodded.

"Rather than saying that the swordsmen here remain clear and pure-hearted, cultivating Sword Power."

"It would be better to say that it is the unique Sword Power here that compels the swordsmen to be clear and pure-hearted, with a pure Sword Heart."

"Please speak plainly." Xiao Yi cupped his hand and said.

The elder shook his head, "I cannot speak plainly."

The elder smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Vice Master Xiao Yi is young, yet you have passed the inheritance examination over at the Main Hall, and are also a supreme sword cultivator. I confess I do not possess the capability to guide you."

"This matter of cultivation is also very hard to express clearly."

"However, if Vice Master Xiao Yi stays in the Sword Domain long enough, you will understand it yourself."

"The true reason why outsider martial artists find it difficult to cultivate Sword Power, Vice Master Xiao Yi will come to understand on your own."

After speaking, the elder’s hand flashed with light, and he took out a book.

"This is a Sword Power technique that our sub hall has collected, with a relatively high tier."

"Vice Master Xiao Yi can ponder it over yourself."

"As for Task Points, they are not needed; regard it as a gift to you from me."

"This..." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment.

"No need to be polite, Vice Master Xiao Yi." The elder chuckled, "It’s merely a Sword Power technique, not considered a treasure."

"Thank you." Xiao Yi nodded, cupping his hand.

"I have other business, I won’t linger long."

"May I return this Sword Power technique via another sub hall later, is it possible?"

"As you wish, Vice Master Xiao Yi." The elder nodded.

"Farewell." Xiao Yi cupped his hand and turned to leave.

...

Upon leaving the sub hall of the Wind Shattering Hall, Xiao Yi flew away controlling the air.

A few hours later, after approximately flying two to three hundred thousand miles, Xiao Yi suddenly halted.

Throughout the journey, he had been pondering the matter of Sword Power.

The words of the Sub Hall Master had intensified Xiao Yi’s curiosity and interest in such a unique power as Sword Power.

Of course, the power of Sword Power is certainly not to be underestimated, which is also why Xiao Yi planned to cultivate it.

Swish...

Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, descending from high altitude.

This was an area of desolate mountains and wild forest, not the Demon Beast Forest, with not a single demon beast, nor would any martial artist come here to train.

Luckily, the tranquility here would allow him to attempt contemplating the Sword Power technique.

Sitting cross-legged casually, Xiao Yi took out the Sword Power technique given by the Sub Hall Master and began reading it.

"Holy-grade Technique." Xiao Yi muttered.

After a while, Xiao Yi closed the book, frowning.

...

First update.
