Soul Emperor Martial God

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi's hand flashed with light, and he took out a Primordial Stone from the Universe Ring.

He carefully examined it and nodded.

"It really is a Primordial Stone." A look of delight appeared on Xiao Yi's face.

The so-called Primordial Stone is a rock filled with pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

It can be directly absorbed by martial artists to be used for cultivation.

Moreover, it is a 'special product' of the Central Region, found only in this central part of the mainland.

The Central Region, located in the center of the mainland, has a density of spiritual energy far surpassing ordinary areas and other regions.

In this environment, some special stones are washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for millions of years, thus becoming Primordial Stones.

Primordial Stones are somewhat similar to Fire Essence Stones.

However, Fire Essence Stones are only suitable for martial artists cultivating the fire attribute path.

Moreover, the aura of Fire Essence Stones is violent and cannot be used extensively.

Primordial Stones, on the other hand, contain pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, extremely gentle, and can be absorbed by any martial artist.

Their effects even surpass those of elixirs.

Alchemists, aside from refining certain elixirs with special effects, if they are only refining pure elixirs to enhance cultivation.

Essentially, it's through the means of refining to extract the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

One must know, the so-called Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are naturally grown, nourished by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

Primordial Stones, on the other hand, are directly formed by bathing in the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then absorbing these energies for millions of years, thus becoming a Primordial Stone.

Their effects are beyond dispute.

Of course, there are many strict conditions to produce Primordial Stones.

Thus, Primordial Stones are exceptionally rare.

Take the Universe Rings of the Violent Wolf bandit group, there are only about a hundred Primordial Stones inside.

Xiao Yi roughly counted all the things in these Universe Rings and Qiankun Bags.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are piled like mountains.

Demon Beast Essence Blood and inner cores are also numerous.

There are more than a dozen weapons at the Sub-Saint Artifact level; however, there are no swords, none suitable for Xiao Yi's use.

There are over twenty flying Sub-Saint Artifacts.

And, of course, these hundred or so Primordial Stones.

An expression of joy filled Xiao Yi's face; this Violent Wolf Mountain Bandit Group, as expected of the mountain bandits entrenched in the borderline for years, is extraordinarily wealthy.

The next second, Xiao Yi calmed his thoughts.

His eyes suddenly changed, and the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes condensed forth.

A vortex surged as the Martial Soul Power of the Violent Wolf and others was fully absorbed.

Xiao Yi conducted some introspection, within his Small World, the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul was still at the Blue Peak Stage, not yet breaking through.

The gap between Blue Peak Stage and Purple Rank is vast, impossible to break through so easily.

After finishing everything, Xiao Yi waved his hand, burning away the combat traces here.

Then his figure flashed, controlling the air to fly away.

...

Far away, thousands of miles away.

A gigantic blue ship suddenly stopped its rapid flight.

On the ship were Lih Fengxing and others.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" The Kuanglan Sect Master questioned Lih Fengxing with curiosity.

Lih Fengxing frowned, "We've flown extremely far, that group of mountain bandits can't catch up."

"We should be about half an hour away from the Central Region."

"So, I want to wait for Deacon Xiao Yi."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

However, after more than half an hour, Xiao Yi still did not appear.

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Lih Fengxing's brows were tightly furrowed, "With Deacon Xiao Yi's speed, he should have caught up long ago."

"Could something unexpected have happened?" The Kuanglan Sect Master appeared worried.

"He's probably dead." A sneering voice rang out.

The speaker, of course, was Qin Hongyi.

"Junior Sister Hongyi, don't talk nonsense." Lih Fengxing scolded lightly.

"What, do you think I'm wrong?" Qin Hongyi sneered coldly.

"With that little thief's strength, if he could truly defeat those mountain bandits, he would have caught up long ago."

"After not seeing him for more than half an hour, the outcome is obvious, isn't it?"

"I have confidence in Deacon Xiao Yi." Lih Fengxing wore a smiling face.

"Indeed." The Eldest Prince smiled, "If that guy could die so easily, he wouldn't be Xiao Yi."

"Exactly." Yu Feng laughed, "Back then in that vast forest, those ruthless black-clothed martial artists were even more vicious than those mountain bandits."

"That charming young master was also at the Heavenly Extreme Ninth Layer, right?"

"Yet they all perished under Xiao Yi's sword. How could those mere mountain bandits be any different?"

Qin Hongyi sneered dismissively, "Once upon a time is not always."

"That little thief's injuries haven't healed, and his combat power hasn't returned to its peak; it's normal if he can't defeat them."

"Still, if he could win, he'd have caught up long ago."

"This..." The crowd furrowed their brows tightly, hesitating slightly.

If they knew that back in the vast forest, Xiao Yi's greatest opponent was not that charming young master, but even the Hidden Six, whose strength exceeded the Heavenly Extreme Realm, all perished at Xiao Yi's hands, they wouldn't doubt now.

However, while they hesitated, they did not unleash Primordial Power to drive the flying Sub-Saint Artifact; instead, they continued to wait.

Qin Hongyi furrowed her brows, "Deputy Hall Master Lih Fengxing, if I remember correctly, that little thief Xiao Yi is a wanted criminal."

"Your Wind Shattering Hall's Wind Masters, quite a few of them died at his hands."

"And you, Eldest Prince." Qin Hongyi's cold gaze shifted to the Eldest Prince.

"You know very well how many Wind Saint Guards, Honored Guardians, and strong people of the Wind Saint Royal Family died at that little thief's hands."

"Such a ruthless, bloodthirsty villain."

"I really don't understand why you all are waiting for him."

"And the rest of you." Qin Hongyi's gaze swept over the crowd, "Have you all forgotten the humiliation of being expelled from the Wind Silence Sacred Land back then?"

The crowd's brows furrowed deeply.

Lih Fengxing shook his head, "This has nothing to do with Deacon Xiao Yi."

"Wind Masters are not internal martial artists of our Wind Shattering Hall."

"They were paid to resolve others' problems. If they died by someone else's hands, they can only blame their skills for being inferior."

The Eldest Prince solemnly nodded, "I dare not speak for others."

"But at least from these few days of interaction, I've come to understand Xiao Yi as a person."

"Although he is not fond of speech and is decisive in killing, I understand clearly that as long as we don't provoke him, he wouldn't even bother with us."

"He killed the strong of my Wind Saint Royal Family, although there is enmity between us."

"But after all, it was my Wind Saint Royal Family's strong who pursued him first, and there's no reason to expect him not to retaliate while being pursued; again, if one's skills are inferior, there's nothing much to say."

"Moreover, he stabilized my sixth brother's mind, saving his life."

"In my view, I owe him a favor."

"Indeed." The Kuanglan Sect Master and Yu Feng, among others, also smiled, "At least, if Deacon Xiao Yi wanted to kill us, he could have done so who knows how many times by now."

"If he were truly bloodthirsty."

"Moreover, back in the Wind Silence Sacred Land, he could have killed us."

Chu Rou smiled and said, "Junior Sister Hongyi, if Young Master Xiao Yi truly wanted to deal with us."

"Back in the Wind Silence Sacred Land, where we were expelled, we'd already be corpses by now."

"You wouldn't have the chance to complain here."

Cheng Suyan smiled knowingly, "Young Master Xiao Yi is undoubtedly a strange person."

"But no matter what, I recognize him as a friend and wish to wait for him here."

"As do we." The crowd nodded.

"Hmph." Qin Hongyi snorted coldly, "Then what if you're waiting in vain?"

"We're about to reach the Central Region, why waste time?"

Just then, a cold voice appeared in the air.

"If you're pressed for time, then let's depart immediately."

In the air, a graceful figure appeared from nowhere.

It was Xiao Yi.

"Deacon Xiao Yi… Young Master Xiao Yi." The crowd was overjoyed.

Xiao Yi nodded and looked at Lih Fengxing, saying, "I deduced from the guidance of the rule power that we should be nearing the Central Region, right?"

"Indeed." Lih Fengxing nodded, "In about half an hour, we'll reach the first destination in the Central Region, Star Swapping City."
