Soul Emperor Martial God

On the azure giant ship, everyone was chatting idly.

The conversation mostly revolved around matters concerning the Wind Saint Territory or interesting occurrences on their journey.

Of course, when a group of martial artists gathers and finishes chatting idly, their primary concern naturally turns to martial arts cultivation.

Everyone present was a martial arts genius, and in the path of martial arts, each had their own understanding and specialization.

A little over an hour later.

The wine bottles in everyone's hands were empty.

Lih Fengxing, seeing this, laughed heartily, "Haha, no worries everyone, I have plenty of wine here."

"Let's not actually. Too much wine harms the body." Xiao Yi shook his head.

The Kuanglan Sect Master chuckled and said, "That's just something ordinary people say."

"For us martial artists, with our profound cultivation, we are unaffected by even the cold and heat, not to mention a little wine."

"But Deacon Xiao Yi, I'm surprised that at such a young age, your understanding of martial arts is no weaker than a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist like myself."

"Discussing with you has been truly enlightening."

Xiao Yi neither agreed nor disagreed, saying softly, "The wine from Sub Hall Master Lih Fengxing, made from high-grade Heavenly Treasures, has quite an effect on us martial artists."

"While there are certain benefits, excessive consumption can ultimately be harmful."

Lih Fengxing nodded, "Let's follow Deacon Xiao Yi's advice then."

"Heading to the Central Region, there are numerous dangers along the way, so we must remain cautious."

Yu Feng bowed to Xiao Yi, "There are still more than half a month to the Central Region."

"I hope Deacon Xiao Yi won't hesitate to offer guidance during this time."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"By the way," Lih Fengxing suddenly asked, "Deacon Xiao Yi mentioned earlier that your injuries haven't fully healed."

"Do you need our help?"

"No need." Xiao Yi shook his head, "The injuries have stabilized, not a big problem, but will require some time to heal."

"More than half a month should be enough for me to recover."

"Just as we arrive in the Central Region, my injuries should be healed."

"That's good." Lih Fengxing nodded.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hongyi sneered, "I thought you were incredibly capable, but it turns out you're still severely injured."

"Let's put it simply, throughout the journey to the Central Region, you'll need our protection."

"The path to the Central Region is fraught with danger, yet a burden like you even had the nerve to chit-chat happily."

"Did not even utter a word of thanks, I really wonder how thick-skinned you are."

Swish…

Just as Qin Hongyi finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere instantly turned solemn.

Everyone frowned.

Xiao Yi's expression turned cold.

With cold yet bright eyes, he cast a sidelong glance at Qin Hongyi.

"Miss Hongyi, I merely choose not to bother with you, but I am by no means someone with good temperament."

"This is a first warning, but also the last warning."

All along, Qin Hongyi has been speaking with cold words, full of hostility towards Xiao Yi.

However, Xiao Yi wasn't interested in arguing with her.

Of course, this doesn't mean Xiao Yi will tolerate her indefinitely.

"Although I am injured, I don't need anyone's protection." Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"As for being a burden…"

Xiao Yi suddenly chuckled coldly.

The next moment, a surge of primordial power erupted instantly.

The flying speed of the azure giant ship suddenly increased.

At high speed, intense gang winds blew upon everyone's faces, causing a stinging sensation.

"Such a surge of primordial power." Lih Fengxing's expression was shocked.

"Such fast speed." The Kuanglan Sect Master exclaimed, "The flight speed of a Sub-Saint Artifact is several times faster than all of us combined."

Although Xiao Yi's injuries haven't recovered, some of his internal primordial power has.

The surge of primordial power infused into this Sub-Saint Artifact naturally increased its flying speed tremendously.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I think I can still contribute somewhat, not exactly a burden."

Everyone quickly bowed, saying, "Deacon Xiao Yi, you speak too seriously."

"If you're considered a burden, what face do any of us have?" Chu Rou jested.

Xiao Yi nodded and walked away without speaking.

Everyone resumed sitting cross-legged as before, beginning their cultivation.

Xiao Yi quietly leaned against the ship's edge, when someone suddenly approached him.

The person was the Eldest Prince.

"Xiao Yi." The Eldest Prince looked at Xiao Yi with a complicated expression.

After hesitating for a while, he then asked, "Can the Moonlight Fruit really save my sixth brother?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "It can."

"I've already stabilized the Sixth Prince's mind."

"In other words, the Sixth Prince is currently fine."

"However, his mind has scattered mostly, which is why he still cannot awaken."

"Finding the Moonlight Fruit will warm his mind, and once it is fully restored, he will awaken."

The Eldest Prince sighed in relief, "Thank you."

After that, he stepped back a few steps and performed a deep bow.

Xiao Yi nodded, remaining silent.

The Eldest Prince saw this and did not disturb him, leaving quietly.

At the ship's edge, Xiao Yi quietly contemplated two matters.

Firstly, his injuries.

The injuries from backlash require a significant amount of time to fully heal and cannot be hurried.

However, the Death Silence Seal is still imprinted on his arm like a leech, constantly causing him a considerable amount of pain.

The Death Silence Seal continuously absorbs the primordial power within him to 'grow' itself.

This prevents him from fully nurturing his injuries.

Because of this, the injuries cannot heal quickly.

Furthermore, Xiao Yi clearly sensed that since the battle in the vast forest with Uncle Gu.

The Death Silence Seal on his arm has evidently become stronger.

He naturally saw that the aura within the Death Silence Seal was ignited, increasing its power greatly.

Even though Uncle Gu eventually stopped, he specifically left this trick.

If it weren't for Xiao Yi's exceptional skills, anyone else might have died under the explosion of that Death Silence Seal's aura.

Despite this, Xiao Yi is still confident he can fully heal his injuries by the time they reach the Central Region.

Secondly, the Cold Flame Sword.

During the battle with Beiyin Wudi, the voice within the sword was evidently the Sword Spirit's voice.

What is known as Sword Spirit refers to the spiritual intelligence generated within the sword.

All things in the world, mountains and rocks, flowers and trees, all have the potential to generate spiritual intelligence.

Simply, due to their inherent strength or weakness, the likelihood of generating spiritual intelligence varies in size.

Sword Spirit, and the spiritual intelligence of Boiling Volcano, or Fire Demon Spirit, isn't much different.

Its only characteristic is that Sword Spirit is born from within the sword and remains attached to the sword for life.

The Cold Flame Sword, ranked as a mid-grade Holy Artifact, having a Sword Spirit, didn't surprise Xiao Yi too much.

However, ever since the fierce battle ended, he tried to summon the Sword Spirit again but received no response.

He originally wanted to learn about the Cold Flame Sword's status and information.

But now, it seems there's no way.

Why this is, Xiao Yi couldn't fathom for now.

After a while, Xiao Yi shook his head.

Being unable to understand, he simply chose not to bother.

Another issue is related to Beiyin Palace.

If nothing expected occurs, it surely is a power in the Central Region, and even within the Central Region where strong individuals gather, it is an enormous entity.

Regarding Beiyin Palace, Xiao Yi temporarily doesn't know how to deal with it.

Everything will have to wait until they reach the Central Region.

...

Time flew by, and half a month passed in an instant.

Along the journey, although occasionally encountering dangerous places and situations, they were largely within everyone's tolerance range.

Therefore, it was considered a safe journey.

"According to the guiding rules and forces, we've already left the territory of the Million Mountains." Lih Fengxing said with a joyful expression.

"Here is the junction between the Million Mountains and the Central Region, at most two more days, and we'll truly enter the Central Region."

Everyone showed expressions of delight, their eyes full of anticipation.

...

Second update.
