Soul Emperor Martial God

In Qianmo's Small World.

An invisible vortex was rapidly strangling the sixth section of the giant vine.

It must be said, although the Longevity Vine Martial Soul brought about terribly negative effects.

Its own efficacy and strength were indeed formidable.

The entire surface of the giant vine was branded with indescribable characters.

Those were the Martial Arts Knowledge of the Dao of Immortality.

Each section represented the Martial Arts level that should exist in that realm.

The higher the section, the more profound and potent the Martial Arts Knowledge contained.

This was the true origin of each section representing a different realm in the Longevity Vine.

It was also the reason why the owner had to cultivate the Dao of Immortality.

This meant that the owner didn't even need a Martial Arts instructor.

Because within their own body lay something equivalent to an ever-strengthening 'Martial Arts Stele'.

Of course, outsiders could not teach this either.

Now, Xiao Yi had come to roughly understand the meaning of the Longevity Vine Martial Soul.

The soaring growth momentum of the Longevity Vine.

Perhaps it was truly aimed at reaching the end of the Martial Arts path.

Autonomous growth, each section a different realm.

And adding Martial Arts to oneself.

If it could keep growing until the end, perhaps it truly could achieve the status of Martial God.

Of course, this possibility was definitely extremely slim.

After all, it was only a pale purple Martial Soul.

Moreover, the gap between each section of the Longevity Vine was significant.

The higher the Cultivation Realm, the longer the lengths became.

For example, the first section, representing the Mortal Realm, was just under ten feet.

But the second section, representing the Postnatal Realm, was as long as fifty feet...

And this sixth section, representing the Earth Origin Realm, was over three hundred feet long.

You could imagine how much greater the disparity would be in the subsequent realms.

By the time it reached the Heavenly Origin Realm, it would likely be over a thousand feet long, if not longer.

Such length demanded extensive growth time.

With the rate at which the Longevity Vine Martial Soul absorbed the Power of Vitality.

It's probable that it wouldn't have fully grown before.

The owner's vitality would have been completely drained.

Overall, the path to becoming a Martial God was incredibly long and excruciatingly hard.

Although the Longevity Vine Martial Soul could be described as defying the heavens.

In front of the term Martial God, any miraculous thing seemed so insignificant.

That true realm that ruled over Heaven and Earth, governing the Heaven and Earth Rules – the Martial God Realm, was not so easily attained.

The true end of the Martial Arts path, how could it be so effortlessly reached?

Time gradually passed.

The sixth section of the vine was constantly being shredded into bits under the vortex.

Afterwards, it continuously transformed into pure vitality, filling the Small World.

This vitality originally belonged to Qianmo.

Under the vortex, the original function of the Longevity Vine to autonomously absorb vitality was completely blocked.

The ample vitality then naturally returned to Qianmo.

Once the sixth section of the vine was completely destroyed,

Xiao Yi dismissed the invisible vortex.

In Xiao Yi's perception, the vitality that the sixth section of the vine possessed had all returned to Qianmo.

However, once the invisible vortex disappeared,

The Longevity Vine began to absorb Qianmo's vitality again.

Qianmo's vitality quickly started to dwindle again.

But, Xiao Yi had no solution for this.

His current action was merely a temporary fix, not a cure.

Returning the vitality from the sixth section of the vine to Qianmo,

Allowed Qianmo's body to temporarily fill up with vitality,

So as not to die from the depletion of vitality.

The sixth section of the vine was the longest part and contained the most vitality.

This amount of vitality was enough to keep Qianmo alive for a long time.

If someone truly wanted to 'cure' Qianmo, the entire Longevity Vine would have to be destroyed.

Naturally, Xiao Yi would not do that.

According to the records of a predecessor from Medicine King Valley, the owner of the Longevity Vine Martial Soul needed only to step into the Extreme Realm by the age of twenty to be completely safe.

This requirement was undoubtedly extremely harsh.

It was even impossible.

That predecessor had died because of this.

However, Xiao Yi's understanding of this statement.

Did not focus on the age of twenty, but on the words 'Extreme Realm'.

Of course, Xiao Yi's understanding was only approximate, and he did not truly comprehend the full meaning.

Xiao Yi didn't think too much about it.

In any case, Qianmo's life was temporarily saved.

What happened afterwards might have new solutions—it was uncertain.

At that moment, Xiao Yi withdrew his perception.

By the edge of the bed, Xiao Yi's Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes instantly dissipated, returning to normal.

Just as he was about to dismiss the Purple Flame Barrier,

Suddenly, a booming noise occurred in his mind.

A series of unfamiliar characters suddenly appeared in his mind.

Xiao Yi's face changed drastically, "This... this is the Martial Arts Knowledge of the Dao of Immortality."

Yes, the unfamiliar characters that appeared in his mind were the Martial Arts Knowledge associated with the Dao of Immortality.

However, it was only the sixth section, the Martial Arts Knowledge of the Earth Origin Realm level.

The sixth vine was the one strangled by the invisible vortex.

If I guessed correctly,

Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes could absorb Martial Souls.

The invisible vortex, while killing the sixth vine, also absorbed the Martial Arts Knowledge contained within.

Xiao Yi's face lit up with joy.

This Martial Arts Knowledge, in fact, did not help his cultivation or strength.

But for refining, it was extremely effective.

This special type of Martial Arts would undoubtedly skyrocket his knowledge in refining.

The elixirs he would refine in the future, though not as potent as those owned by the bearer of the Longevity Vine Martial Soul, would still be greatly enhanced.

He gathered his thoughts.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and dispersed the Purple Flame Barrier.

At the same time, Su Zhenxuan and others quickly stepped inside.

With their cultivation and strength, they generally knew what was happening inside the room.

They also knew that Xiao Yi had set up the Purple Flame Barrier.

But what had happened inside the Purple Flame Barrier, they did not know.

Now, since Xiao Yi had dispersed the Purple Flame Barrier,

it was indirectly telling them that they could come in.

"Elder Yi Xiao, how is it?" Su Zhenxuan asked eagerly.

The middle-aged man in white also imperceptibly showed a look of urgency.

"Young Master Su is out of danger now," Xiao Yi said.

"Really?" Su Zhenxuan hurried forward to check on Qianmo.

"Indeed, indeed." Su Zhenxuan was overjoyed.

"The vitality that was nearly depleted in Qianmo's body is now replenished."

"But..."

Su Zhenxuan suddenly frowned, "I feel that her vitality is still autonomously draining away."

Su Zhenxuan looked towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile and said, "Master Su also knows that the Young Master's 'illness' stems from her Martial Soul."

"As long as the Martial Soul exists, those negative effects will continue."

"I merely temporarily snatched back her vitality."

"Temporarily preserved her life."

"I see," Su Zhenxuan nodded, "Elder Yi Xiao, do not blame yourself."

"With the vitality in Qianmo's body now, it's enough to sustain her for over a year."

"In a year's time, perhaps we might come up with a better treatment."

At this moment, the middle-aged man in white frowned and asked, "Why hasn't Qianmo awakened yet?"

"Who is this?" Xiao Yi inquired.

Su Zhenxuan disdainfully said, "Just a disobedient son, a useless father."

The middle-aged man immediately gave a bitter smile but still didn't say much.

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, "So it's Su Bai, Senior."

Su Bai, the previous generation's Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.

Su Zhenxuan's son, Qianmo's father.

Regarding this person, Xiao Yi knew not much, only having roughly heard the name.

Rumored to be a Martial Arts Fool.

Xiao Yi clasped his hands together and said, "Senior Su Bai, Young Master's vitality has been declining for quite some time."

"Her body is extremely weak."

"It might take as long as half a year or as short as a few months before she awakens."

By Su Zhenxuan's side, he nodded and said, "With careful nourishment and high-grade elixirs."

"Qianmo could awaken in about three months."

Although it might take several months for her to awaken,

as long as Qianmo could awaken, the problem would lessen significantly.

After all, the best knower of one's Martial Soul is the person themselves.

Perhaps, by then, Xiao Yi could find more about the Longevity Vine Martial Soul and possibly other solutions.

"Elder Yi Xiao," Su Zhenxuan said at this time.

"With your help this time, we were able to save Qianmo's life."

"Medicine King Valley is indebted to you."

"Ask for any reward you desire, if Medicine King Valley can provide it, we will not refuse."

Xiao Yi was about to say something.

Suddenly, Mu Qingyun spoke coldly, "The person isn't completely cured yet and you're already asking for a reward."

"Last time, he absorbed all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Medicine Tower, wasn't that enough?"

Xiao Yi's face turned cold, but he didn't want to argue.

He clasped his hands towards Su Zhenxuan and said, "Let's forget about the reward."

"After all, I also count as a Guest Elder of Medicine King Valley, this was merely a trivial effort on my part."

Xiao Yi didn't care about those offered rewards anymore.

After all, the person he saved was Qianmo.

"This..." Su Zhenxuan hesitated slightly.

The middle-aged man in white spoke out, "Elder Yi Xiao is noble."

"But gratitude should still be expressed."

"I, Su Bai, owe you a promise, anything within my power,"

"Elder Yi Xiao, just ask, and I won't refuse the slightest."

Xiao Yi was slightly surprised.

A promise from someone of Su Bai's caliber was more precious than any treasures.

"Thank you, Senior Su Bai," Xiao Yi nodded.

Then he said, "I have urgent matters to attend to, so I won't stay long in Medicine King Valley, I take my leave."

"Elder Yi Xiao, have a good journey," Su Zhenxuan rose to see him off, "Fourth Elder, please escort Elder Yi Xiao out of the valley."

"Yes," Elder Mu nodded.
