Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1808: Chapter 1808: The Choice

”Martial Arts Saint Pill?”

Xiao Yi’s face was filled with astonishment, a look of shock.

He never imagined that the true opportunity within the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion would be the Ancient Emperor’s Martial Arts Saint Pill.

At this moment, besides being shocked, he also felt a sense of realization.

He finally understood why the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb would attract countless forces and warriors across the Central Region.

No wonder the opportunity of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is praised as the greatest opportunity of the current era.

No wonder even someone as strong as Senior Luoo, and that elder, would come here despite the danger, braving the backlash of the Ancient Emperor’s prohibition, in a bid to break it.

No wonder the elder said that the true opportunity within the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion is enough to breakthrough his stagnant cultivation of ten thousand years in an instant.

The Ancient Emperor Holy Pill turned out to be the Martial Arts Saint Pill of the Ancient Emperor.

The Martial Arts Saint Pill of the Ancient First Emperor, what it represents, need not be overly explained.

To those old monsters who have cultivated for ten thousand years, or even longer, what truly hinders their martial arts cultivation is not cultivation resources.

But the real martial arts bottleneck and barrier.

Like the martial artists in the Supreme Realm, reaching the 9990th rank, the final 10 paths of martial arts become a lifelong challenge for them.

They have no idea in the vast martial arts world, exactly which 10 paths they are missing.

The martial arts bottleneck in the Supreme Realm is already so difficult.

Imagine how insurmountable the barrier in the Legendary Realm must be?

For those ’old monsters’, the martial arts they control are more varied and terrifying.

They themselves hold countless complete paths of martial arts.

Yet, this only makes their martial arts bottleneck even more daunting.

To slowly seek out their needed martial arts among thousands, tens of thousands, or even more martial arts paths?

That feels like trying to find the most unique grain of sand among a pile.

And undoubtedly, the Ancient Emperor’s Martial Arts Saint Pill is the existence that can instantly break their martial arts bottleneck.

What is a Martial Arts Saint Pill?

It’s something only martial artists with profound cultivation can gather.

Formed through consuming one’s martial arts power, nurtured with one’s essence blood.

Every martial artist, when gathering a Martial Arts Saint Pill, always intends it for their disciple.

Because, each time a Martial Arts Saint Pill is gathered, it undoubtedly causes significant harm to the martial artist, even affecting their core.

And if Xiao Yi guessed correctly, the Martial Arts Saint Pill in front of him should be gathered by the Ancient Emperor exhausting all his martial arts power before his death.

Therefore, this Martial Arts Saint Pill is even more potent and terrifying.

Xiao Yi finally realized why the prohibition challenges of the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion here are so exacting.

Even the various prohibitions within it come with numerous harsh constraints.

This Martial Arts Saint Pill is exceedingly precious.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi withdrew the God Slaying Sword, his figure flickered back to the vast bed.

His hand, slowly reached out.

Xiao Yi was cautious.

Yet, his hand effortlessly penetrated the intensely dense black light, taking the Martial Arts Saint Pill.

”Is this the Ancient Emperor’s Martial Arts Saint Pill?”

Xiao Yi murmured, perceiving.

Boom...

Almost in an instant of perception, Xiao Yi’s mind boomed.

When it returned to normal, his mind seemed to be within a void.

In the void, complete paths of martial arts floated freely.

For a moment, Xiao Yi felt that this was the entire world.

And he was freely roaming in this martial arts void.

Hiss.

Within a few seconds, Xiao Yi’s head suddenly ached, inhaling sharply, returning to normal.

The martial arts power contained within this Martial Arts Saint Pill was too frightening, far beyond what he could endure.

In merely a few seconds, he had to exit the perception state.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered again, returning below.

The true opportunity within the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, this Martial Arts Saint Pill, he had already obtained.

Xiao Yi approached the pure flame.

This was the elder’s cultivation transformed before death.

”Senior.” Xiao Yi murmured, with a tinge of somberness on his face.

This elder had evidently lived for countless ages.

Moreover, he continued to exist in a state of spiritual sense all along.

Xiao Yi didn’t know exactly how many millions of years he had existed.

Yet these countless barren years must have been quite painful.

The elder was fully prepared, having made all the plans; but upon discovering Xiao Yi as the next Master of the Main Hall of the Flame Hall, he abandoned all his preparations.

Xiao Yi didn’t know who the elder truly was.

But he was certain the elder was a martial artist of the Eight Palaces, a warrior of the Flame Hall.

This was the true Eight Palace Martial Artist.

Because they all understood the true significance of the Eight Palaces.

Just like the current Eight Palaces, where those Main Hall Masters possess overwhelming power, if they harbor selfish motives, a single word could turn the Central Region upside down.

Without mentioning anything else, just issuing a bounty order in the capacity of a Main Hall Master, with all the conspiracies and cunning strategies contained within, is enough to make any situation incredibly complex and troublesome.

Yet, historically in the Eight Palaces, such occurrences are incredibly rare.

Because every qualified martial artist of the Eight Palaces, every Eight Palace Main Hall Master, understands the significance of the Eight Palaces.

They are the foundations of the continent’s four corners, indispensable.

They are the last shred of hope for protecting humanity.

Though these Main Hall Masters perhaps have family ties, or even affiliations with other forces.

Entering the Eight Palaces, they understand their responsibilities.

At least, they won’t violate the iron rules of the Eight Palaces.

That is perhaps a form of enlightenment.

Xiao Yi shook his head; overly complex matters were not something he wished to dwell upon.

But the elder evidently deserves his respect.

For some reason, Xiao Yi seemed to see the shadows of various Main Hall Masters he had encountered and seen in this elder.

Xiao Yi couldn’t articulate this feeling.

”Rest assured, senior.” Xiao Yi, facing the flame, bowed respectfully.

”I will bring your inheritance back to the Flame Hall.”

”As for the relations within the Eight Palaces, if it’s within my power, I will do my best.”

After speaking, Xiao Yi sighed, looking back at the flame in front.

This flame held an incredibly refined flame aura, pure to the extreme, and overwhelmingly powerful.

As the elder’s spiritual sense dissipated, it was a gift to Xiao Yi.

Evidently, the elder was aware of what the true opportunity within the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb was.

Thus, if Xiao Yi could truly overcome the challenges of the Ancient Emperor, this pure flame energy would, combined with the Martial Arts Saint Pill, allow Xiao Yi a qualitative leap.

If Xiao Yi could not overcome the challenges and obtain the Martial Arts Saint Pill, this pure flame energy would still offer Xiao Yi tremendous gains.

This flame contained the vast primordial power within the elder’s preserved physical body.

This equates to the elder’s cultivation before his death.

If Xiao Yi chooses to absorb it entirely, he could instantly breakthrough to a Legendary Cultivation and grow rapidly within the Legendary Realm.
