Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Arrival of the Sect’s Mighty Warriors

Everday Palace Master and other experts had the intent to kill written all over their faces.

Xiao Yi remained unfazed, the Sword Qi in his hand hissing sharply.

The Cultivation Technique book in his hand rustled.

A group of experts’ complexions changed dramatically.

Everday Palace Master’s face was as dark as ink, yet he could only suppress his raging anger gritting his teeth, he said, ”Xiao Yi, my friend, how can you expect us to produce five hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow?”

”I shall speak arrogantly. Our Everday Ice Palace is considered the strongest force in this Extreme Cold Land.”

”Even we, Everday Ice Palace, can produce at most one hundred and fifty pounds of Cold Ice Marrow.”

”That is already our multi-year storage.”

”Even if you demand exorbitantly, it is useless. No force can produce five hundred pounds.”

”Heh,” Xiao Yi gave a cold smile, ”One force can’t produce it.”

”Add up one palace, one sect, and two schools, then you can.”

”Impossible,” this time, before Everday Palace Master could speak, the Snow Blade Sect Master had already yelled out loud.

”One Martial Arts Inheritance, how can our four great forces possess it simultaneously?”

”That is your concern,” Xiao Yi’s demeanor was cold.

”Whether you wish to trade rests upon you.”

”I still need to rush back to continue my cultivation. Gentlemen, think it over and come find me.”

”Of course, seeking me out privately is also an option.”

With a faint smile, Xiao Yi turned and left.

”Wait,” Everday Palace Master said through clenched teeth.

After that, Everday Palace Master, Snow Blade Sect Master, Ice Martial Sect Leader, and Ice Flame Sect Leader exchanged a few glances.

They then nodded at one another.

Snow Blade Sect Master and two others each took out a Qiankun Bag and handed it to Everday Palace Master.

Taking it, Everday Palace Master also produced a Qiankun Bag and said, ”Xiao Yi, my friend, here is five hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow.”

”Hand over the Cultivation Technique to us.”

Xiao Yi laughed and said, ”No rush, let me inspect it first.”

”What now?” Everday Palace Master said with an ugly expression, ”Do you, Xiao Yi, still fear that we might deceive you?”

”That is unpredictable,” Xiao Yi shook his head.

”You...” Everday Palace Master’s face turned ugly, but he still handed over the four Qiankun Bags to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took them, opening each to inspect.

Inside the Qiankun Bags, there was a huge block of ice.

Embedded within the ice, there were strands of milky white liquid, the pure Cold Ice Marrow.

Everday Ice Palace and Snow Blade Sect, each one hundred fifty pounds.

Ice Martial Sect and Ice Flame Sect, each one hundred pounds.

Totaling five hundred pounds.

After verifying everything was correct, Xiao Yi handed over the Cultivation Technique to Everday Palace Master.

”Kid, you’re ruthless,” Everday Palace Master and the other three gave Xiao Yi a cold look.

Xiao Yi snickered, ”It takes one to know one.”

During the banquet at Everday Ice Palace, the various forces had caused numerous difficulties and even attempted to take his life.

Xiao Yi remembered it clearly and naturally would not be polite with them.

Outside the Snow Forest, the trade continued.

Aside from Xiao Yi, the ones who obtained the most Inheritance were naturally Bai Bingxue, Zhong Wuyou, and others.

Those Martial Arts Inheritances were likewise of little use to them, so they simply sold them and gained quite a lot of Cultivation Items in return.

On the other side, Everday Palace Master meticulously looked through the Cultivation Technique.

Cultivation Techniques are difficult to replicate through ordinary copying and inscription.

Each book of Cultivation Techniques must contain the creator’s or Comprehender’s understanding and Martial Arts Knowledge about that particular technique.

Put simply, these contain a trace of power in accord with the contents of the Cultivation Techniques.

It is this power that allows for the content of the Cultivation Techniques to be stored.

This makes the transcription of Cultivation Techniques quite a challenge.

And the higher the level of the Cultivation Technique, the greater the difficulty.

However, a Martial Artist can memorize these contents for their own future contemplation.

Everday Palace Master and Snow Blade Sect Master were Extreme Realm Experts and could remember the content of the Cultivation Techniques with a mere glance.

Afterward, Everday Palace Master passed the Cultivation Technique to the Ice Flame Sect Leader and the Ice Martial Sect Leader.

...

Two hours later, all trades within the Snow Forest were completed.

A multitude of Martial Artists left the forest and returned to Everday City.

The third round of the Ice Edge Conference, which was the final round and the most crucial,

Is scheduled to take place half a month later.

In the half month leading up to the event, the participants had ample time to prepare for various matters.

Xiao Yi and his companions returned to the inn.

Xiao Yi distributed some Cold Ice Marrow to Bai Bingxue and the others.

Bai Bingxue and the others initially refused.

However, Xiao Yi insisted, and they were forced to accept it.

Xiao Yi hoped that everyone could enhance their Cultivation once again to better face the third round in half a month.

Cold Ice Marrow was an absolute Supreme Treasure for Martial Artists who practiced the Cold Ice Dao and had significant effects.

Even for those Martial Artists who did not practice the Cold Ice Dao, it was still highly beneficial.

Time passed gradually.

Everyone stayed within the inn for seclusion.

After ten days, they all emerged from seclusion, their Cultivation significantly improved.

Each of the six had advanced by one Layer.

Bai Bingxue, Zhong Wuyou, and Lin Jin had broken through to the Third Layer Peak of Heavenly Origin.

Lin Jin, Liu Yanran, and Ye Ming had broken through to the Peak of Heaven Origin First Layer.

And all this was merely the result of consuming several pounds of Cold Ice Marrow.

The most tempting aspect of Cold Ice Marrow was the purity and cleanliness of its power.

Martial Artists could absorb it without any concerns about future consequences to enhance their Cultivation.

However, the pace of their Cultivation breakthroughs during this time was too fast.

It even began to surpass their own understanding and level of Martial Arts Knowledge.

If they continued to increase their Cultivation rashly, it would not be good.

They were different from Xiao Yi, who faced no Martial Arts Bottleneck.

Therefore, Xiao Yi did not let them continue absorbing the Cold Ice Marrow.

Besides, the greatest use of Cold Ice Marrow was for breaking through Great Realms.

Using it for Xiao Yi to break through minor Cultivation levels now seemed extremely luxurious.

However, who made Xiao Yi possess so much Cold Ice Marrow?

In the following days, the group did not cultivate.

Instead, they continued in seclusion to study their Martial Arts Knowledge.

Three days later, there were only two days left until the third round of the Ice Edge Conference.

Right at this moment, a group of people arrived at the inn, seeking out Xiao Yi and his companions.

This group was none other than the Sword Sect Master and various elders from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Along with them were some talented disciples of the Sword Sect.

Xiao Yi did not pay them any attention, not even uttering half a word, and simply left the inn on his own.

”Hmph, such a lack of respect for the elders...” an elder chastised, about to say something else.

But he found that aside from Ling Yu, Zhong Wuyou and the others all had ugly expressions and also left.

...

Atop the walls of Everday City, Xiao Yi bathed in the aurora, lost in thought.

The Great Elder approached him.

”Xiao Yi,” the Great Elder’s tone was complex, he seemed to want to say something but stopped.

He suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was a much more powerful being than himself.

He could no longer speak to him as a senior.

And the past events in the Royal Capital made him even less qualified to assume the identity of an elder.

He did not know how to address the arrogant young man before him.

Xiao Yi smiled, taking the initiative to break the silence, ”Great Elder need not be so formal.”

The Great Elder laughed suddenly.

He knew that Xiao Yi still called him ’Great Elder,’ showing that Xiao Yi still regarded him as an elder.

”Kid,” the Great Elder said with a smile, ”We came today just to allow the disciples of our Sect to gain some experience, don’t overthink it.”

”The Ice Edge Conference has always been a rare event, so...”

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”I know, there’s no need for the Great Elder to explain further.”

The two of them fell silent suddenly, neither continuing the conversation.

Xiao Yi quietly bathed in the aurora, gazing into the distance.

The Great Elder stood by his side in silence.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was the day the final round of the Ice Edge Conference began.

Forces from all sides, countless experts, all gathered at the Everday Ice Palace.

...

The third installment.
