Soul Emperor Martial God

"Have you heard that the Medicine Tower was originally a huge Alchemy Furnace?"

Duan Yun asked.

Xiao Yi nodded, "I saw the information in the Scrolls Room at the headquarters of the Flame Martial Guard before."

"The Medicine Tower is an Eighth-grade Refining Furnace, extremely precious."

Seventh-grade Refining Furnaces are possessed by many powerful forces in the Royal Capital.

But an Eighth-grade Refining Furnace, its preciousness and rarity are far beyond what a Seventh-grade Refining Furnace can compare to.

The comparison between the two is somewhat like the contrast between Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists and Extreme Realm Experts.

Moreover, regarding the fact that the Medicine Tower was originally an Alchemy Furnace.

Xiao Yi had heard it from Elder Mu during the Royal Capital's Alchemy Competition.

However, there is also an introduction to the Medicine Tower in the Scrolls Room at the headquarters of the Flame Martial Guard.

At this moment, Duan Yun nodded and said, "The Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace is an Alchemy Furnace of a higher tier than the Medicine Tower."

"Enough to make any Alchemist go crazy."

Xiao Yi nodded, "And the second item?"

"The second item," Duan Yun hesitated.

After a long pause, he finally opened his mouth.

"His Sword Dao."

"His Sword Dao?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

"Correct," Duan Yun nodded, "The Sword Dao practiced by Yi Tianxing is..."

"Great Freedom Sword Dao!"

"What?" Xiao Yi's face showed shock, a true surprise beyond measure.

Duan Yun saw Xiao Yi's look and became even more certain that Xiao Yi had no relation to Yi Tianxing.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Yi not know the Sword Dao practiced by Yi Tianxing,

unless their feelings were not deep.

And if their feelings were not deep,

why would Xiao Yi go to such lengths to investigate the events of that year?

At this time, Xiao Yi muttered to himself, "Great Freedom Sword Dao, it's actually the Great Freedom Sword Dao."

Duan Yun smiled and said, "Correct, it is known as the strongest Sword Dao, the Great Freedom Sword Dao."

"It even surpasses the Domineering Sword Technique of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon and the Ice Sword Dao of the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden."

There are countless Martial Arts, and they vary in strength.

Like the Fire Dao, Magma Fire Dao is stronger than the common Fire Dao.

Like the Sword Dao, the Domineering Sword Technique is stronger than the Fierce Sword Dao and the Swift Sword Dao.

Among Sword Daos, there are several levels.

If one says, the Domineering Sword Technique is the peak level among these,

then the Great Freedom Sword Dao is the strongest Sword Dao that surpasses all these levels.

Such a Sword Dao is difficult for even legendary supreme talents to comprehend, let alone cultivate.

Those who can comprehend it, are all once-in-a-century talents.

Xiao Yi now realized why Elder Yi, after comprehending seventy percent of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon's Extreme Boundary Stele, chose not to continue.

He had said that continuing would affect his own Sword Dao.

It turns out, the Sword Dao he cultivated was stronger than the Domineering Sword Dao.

Xiao Yi looked directly at Duan Yun, and said solemnly, "Whether it's the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace or the Great Freedom Sword Dao."

"They are his possessions, his mantle."

"One day, he will pass these on to Bai Mohan."

"Why is Bai Mohan in such a hurry?"

Duan Yun shook his head and said gravely, "That, I cannot tell you."

It was clear that this was the crux of the events of that year, and the trigger for what happened then, and Duan Yun would not speak of it.

Xiao Yi nodded and continued, "Since the wrongdoing of that year lies with Bai Mohan."

"Why does the Sect not pursue it at all, but instead let him enter under the Sect Master?"

"It's simple," Duan Yun replied, "because his talent is stronger than Yi Tianxing's."

"Stronger?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Those who can comprehend the Great Freedom Sword Dao are all unparalleled talents of this world."

"On what basis is Bai Mohan's talent stronger?"

"At least, in my view, he is already 30 years old yet only at the Third Layer of Heavenly Origin, not that impressive."

Duan Yun shook his head and said, "What you speak of is Martial Arts Talent, comprehension talent."

"What I'm saying is a different kind of talent."

"What talent?" Xiao Yi pressed.

"Martial Soul," Duan Yun said emphatically.

"Martial Soul?" Xiao Yi's frown deepened.

The Martial Soul, on the Flame Dragon Continent, is regarded as an indicator of whether one is a genius and the level of their talent, not without reason.

Otherwise, Xiao Yi wouldn't have been looked down upon everywhere because of the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul.

But what kind of Martial Soul could be so highly valued?

"What Martial Soul?" Xiao Yi inquired.

"A Purple Martial Soul?"

"No," Duan Yun shook his head.

"Seven colors of Martial Souls have a distinct hierarchy."

"But in fact, a Purple Martial Soul is almost non-existent."

"In the entire history of the Flame Martial Kingdom, only one person possessed a faint purple Martial Soul."

"That shade of purple was even barely visible."

"Another theory says that a Purple Martial Soul is something only a Martial God could possess."

"Let's not discuss that for now."

"Elder Bai's Martial Soul is merely of the Blue Peak Stage."

"However..." Duan Yun continued, "In terms of the characteristics of the Martial Soul, he is even stronger than that faint purple Martial Soul in history."

"After all, as long as Elder Bai grows, he will become the strongest person in this world."

"Of course, the elders are all willing to help him."

"What Martial Soul?" Xiao Yi pressed.

"I cannot tell you that." Duan Yun shook his head.

"This is a protection given to Elder Bai as the heavenly talent of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect by our sect."

"A Martial Soul, is it?" Xiao Yi nodded, "Today's chat with Elder Duan Yun shall stop here."

"Oh? Not planning to ask further?" Duan Yun remarked.

"No need," Xiao Yi shook his head, "The next questions I have, I know that even if I ask them, Elder Duan Yun would not tell me."

With these words, Xiao Yi took off the Ice Armor and handed it to Duan Yun.

"Um?" Duan Yun frowned, "You are willing to lend it?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "Elder Duan Yun has answered the boy's questions, the boy is naturally willing to lend it."

Setting down the Ice Armor, Xiao Yi turned and left without taking Duan Yun's Qiankun Bag.

...

Xiao Yi had departed.

Duan Yun looked at the Ice Armor, slightly pleased, just about to pick it up and go find Zhong Wuyou.

At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

The newcomer was a woman.

Immediately, a surge of extreme cold covered the surroundings.

Seeing the woman, Elder Duan Yun got a shock, "Greetings to Senior Swordswoman."

Suddenly, another figure swiftly arrived, it was the Great Elder.

He had been in seclusion, but upon hearing that Xiao Yi had returned to the sect, he immediately came out.

Of course, it was just an ordinary training seclusion he was in, not an important one.

Then, the woman moved her finger slightly, and the Ice Armor in front of Duan Yun instantly vanished.

Then, beneath her extremely beautiful face, she smirked, "When did I ever say that the Ice Armor is an inheritance of the Strongest Sword Master?"

"Elder Duan Yun, tricking a junior like this, such a sect elder you really are."

Duan Yun's face turned awkward, but he dared not retort.

He naturally knew early on that the Ice Armor was given to Xiao Yi by the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden.

And not some Strongest Sword Master's inheritance.

Meanwhile, the Great Elder grinned sheepishly.

In the entire Flame Martial Kingdom, the only one who could speak to Duan Yun in such a tone and make him unable to retort was this legendary person in front of him.

"Well," Duan Yun said awkwardly, "Senior, that doesn't count as deceiving, after all, the kid willingly lent it to me."

"I will return it to him in a month."

The woman scoffed coldly, "I say no lending, do you object?"

"Do not dare?" Duan Yun promptly bowed in respect.

"Humph, I thought so," the woman said with a cold laugh.

The woman continued, "Elder Duan Yun, if I recall correctly, the Wandering Cloud Kill Step in the Sword Pavilion is not complete, right?"

"The complete Wandering Cloud Kill Step and Wandering Cloud Killing Sword, you haven't passed on."

The Wandering Cloud Kill Step and Wandering Cloud Killing Sword were Elder Duan Yun's two famous ultimate techniques.

"Yes," Duan Yun nodded.

"Take them out. I have something better to exchange with you," the woman said as a flash of light appeared in her hand.

It was an Ice Puppet.

"Swordswoman Senior, this puppet...?" Duan Yun wanted to ask something.

"Is stronger than you," the woman interrupted.

"Oh?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up, "How long can this puppet be used?"

"One minute," the woman said indifferently.

"One minute, that's enough," Duan Yun immediately took two books from his chest and exchanged them for the Ice Puppet.

"Swordswoman Senior," Duan Yun laughed, "I still need to go find my reckless disciple, I will take my leave first."

With that, Duan Yun flashed away.

The Great Elder laughed, "Senior, Elder Duan Yun fears that you might change your mind."

"Your Ice Puppet is no less valuable than his two techniques."

The woman chuckled lightly, handing the Ice Armor and two books to the Great Elder.

"Find a reason later to send these items to that kid."

"Yes," the Great Elder nodded, respectfully accepting the task.

...

Third update.
