Soul Emperor Martial God

In the seclusion room, Xiao Yi, as usual, set up a barrier.

Then he sat cross-legged and began to heal his injuries.

Green Light City, he knew.

It was a large city not too far from Star Swapping City.

However, saying it's not far is because there's only one large city between Star Swapping City and Green Light City.

In reality, the areas inside these large cities are vast.

Take Star Swapping City for example, with countless forces numbering over a hundred gathered within it.

With so many forces gathered in one city, it's unimaginable how vast the city is.

And in the Central Region, apart from large cities, there is hardly any place that can be considered safe.

Everywhere here is fraught with dangers.

Between cities, there are generally several dangerous places.

So, calculating in this way, although there's only one large city between Star Swapping City and Green Light City, the actual distance is definitely over tens of thousands of miles.

Here in Green Light City, there is a large Asura Hall Branch Hall.

It is exactly the branch hall that Xiao Yi is entering now.

The reason he chose to stay is firstly because his injuries are indeed severe, and secondly because he wants to inquire about some matters from the elder surnamed Lei.

Returning to the main topic.

Light flashed in Xiao Yi's hand, and he took out several Elixirs.

After swallowing the Elixirs, he meditated while absorbing the medicinal power, and his injuries gradually began to stabilize.

Speaking of which, being able to kill the Wang Family Patriarch this time relied on the Star Illusion Saint's Inheritance.

The true mysterious and powerful aspect of the Star Illusion Saint's Inheritance is communicating with the Starlight Power.

The more starlight that descends, the stronger the power that can be borrowed.

Normally, according to his current cultivation, he can only summon at most over ten rays of starlight.

Forcibly comprehending, and forcibly summoning nearly a hundred rays of starlight, naturally caused him backlash, resulting in his current injuries.

As his cultivation continuously increases, he can borrow more Starlight Power.

Of course, if he wants to reach the level of the Star Illusion Saint where thousands of rays of starlight descend, it's unknown what unfathomable level of cultivation is required.

An hour later.

"Whew." Xiao Yi exhaled a stale breath.

His injuries were no longer a problem.

However, he was still thinking about the Star Illusion Sword Technique.

In those years, the Star Illusion Saint searched painstakingly for the true Star Illusion Fire for many years.

He had an inexplicable sense of the Star Illusion Fire due to his ability to communicate with starlight, which led to his pursuit.

However, the Star Illusion Fire is acclaimed as the most mysterious and powerful fire in the world, so it's naturally not easy to find.

Even such a Great Power as the Star Illusion Saint failed.

"Could it be that the Star Illusion Fire really only exists in the vast starry sky?"

Xiao Yi pondered silently.

He naturally wanted to obtain this flame and make it his sixth powerful flame.

However, clearly, he had no clue.

Whoosh...

Light flashed in Xiao Yi's hand, and a glove appeared out of thin air.

It was the Starfire Gloves, no, to be precise, they were the Star Illusion Gloves.

The Star Illusion Gloves were originally a Mid-grade Holy Artifact, but because they were damaged, they are now only at the Sub-Saint Artifact Level.

Normally, to repair them, not to mention the terrifying value of the materials required, just the repair time alone is a significant number.

The difference between a Sub-Saint Artifact and a Mid-grade Holy Artifact is simply worlds apart.

This is also why the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion put it up for auction, and the auctioneer was unwilling to bid too high a price.

Originally, Xiao Yi bought it just intending to use it as a Sub-Saint Artifact, to have a handy weapon in his Fire Control Skill.

However, after obtaining the Star Illusion Saint's Inheritance, he learned that the Starlight Power could repair this glove.

"Condense." Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice.

A ray of starlight descended from the sky, penetrating the limitations of the seclusion room, and landed directly in front of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi tried it.

The Star Illusion Gloves indeed began to repair, and their aura began to strengthen.

However, the speed was exceptionally slow.

At this rate, it might take decades to fully repair the Star Illusion Gloves.

"Condense." Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice again.

Another ray of starlight descended, shining on the Starlight Gloves.

The repair speed of the Starlight Gloves began to accelerate.

However, the speed was still not obvious.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, then dispersed the two rays of starlight.

He had a rough understanding of the speed of repairing the Star Illusion Gloves.

The more starlight, the stronger the Starlight Power given, and the faster the repair.

If he could control over a thousand rays of starlight, or even more, the repair speed of the Star Illusion Gloves would be extremely fast.

Of course, looking at the current situation, he's in no hurry.

"Forget it." Xiao Yi muttered to himself, retracting the Star Illusion Gloves.

The injuries were no longer a concern, now he should leave.

...

Just after leaving the seclusion room, a member of the Asura Hall was already waiting there.

"Deacon Xiao Yi, no, Sub-hall Master Xiao Yi." The staff member saluted.

"Branch Hall Master Lei requests your presence."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Following the staff member, it wasn't long before they arrived at the branch hall master's study.

The blood-clothed elder was already waiting there.

The elder was reviewing documents, and upon seeing Xiao Yi arrive, he put down the document in his hand and looked at Xiao Yi with a satisfied expression.

Xiao Yi saluted, "Greetings, elder."

"No need for formalities." The elder waved his hand and said, "Bring your Asura Hall Token."

"For the promotion to Sub-hall Master, your presence suffices. I'll arrange for someone to handle the other cumbersome procedures for you."

"Is it really a promotion to Sub-hall Master?" Xiao Yi was stunned, showing a look of confusion.

He had actually wanted to ask this question before.

The Central Region is not comparable to ordinary regions.

Promotions here are much more difficult than in ordinary regions, requiring far more task points and achievements.

Previously, Xiao Yi thought it was just the elder bluffing Cang Yue.

Unexpectedly, the elder smiled and said, "Normally, your achievements are not enough to promote you to Sub-hall Master, let alone to Chief Steward."

Currently, Xiao Yi holds the title of Chief Steward in the Wind Shattering Hall.

And in the Asura Hall, he is merely titled as a Deacon.

"However," the elder paused and smiled, "that fellow Duanmu is of the Hall Master Level in ordinary regions."

"And a Hall Master Level has the authority to unconditionally promote a palace martial artist to Sub-hall Master."

"Of course, this authority can only be used once."

"And he gave it to you."

"This..." Xiao Yi's expression was one of shock.

"Boy, don't put on that face." The elder waved his hand.

"Though this authority is special, a fair hall master should use it on truly outstanding juniors."

"Moreover, Duanmu trusts you."

"Alright, bring the token."

Xiao Yi nodded, taking out the token.

The elder accepted it and instructed a staff member to handle the cumbersome procedures.

"Thank you, elder." Xiao Yi expressed his gratitude.

The elder smiled, "Once the procedures are completed, you will become a true Sub-hall Master, on the same level as me."

"If you like, you may consider me your equal."

Indeed, the elder is merely a Sub-hall Master, the person in charge of this large branch hall.

It's not hard to imagine that in the Central Region, the achievements needed for a promotion are astronomical.

"Elder, you're joking." Xiao Yi smiled wryly.

...

Second update.
