Soul Emperor Martial God

After a full two hours, the staff finally returned the token, completing all the procedures.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but shake his head in resignation, the promotion procedures must be exceptionally complicated.

What he disliked the most were these troublesome tasks.

Of course, the elder clearly knew that young talents like Xiao Yi didn't favor these cumbersome procedures, so he arranged for the staff to handle them.

During this time, Xiao Yi had a casual chat with the elder.

The elder, surnamed Lei, was a friend of Duanmu Palace Master.

When Lih Fengxing and others left the Wind Saint Territory, Wind Hall Master sent a message to Senior Li He, asking him to take care of the newcomers to the Central Region.

And when Xiao Yi left, Duanmu Palace Master similarly sent a message to Senior Lei.

However, as Xiao Yi went to Star Swapping City first, he didn't know Senior Lei.

This promotion to Sub Hall Master was something Senior Duanmu mentioned in the message.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel resigned. When he was in the Wind Saint Territory, Duanmu Palace Master had tried to retain him, hoping he'd stay at the First Main Hall of Wind Saint Territory.

Duanmu Palace Master's intentions were clear to Xiao Yi.

However, Xiao Yi indeed had important matters and could only let down the elderly gentleman's kind intentions.

Unexpectedly, even after he left, Duanmu Palace Master still gave him this once-in-a-lifetime authority of the Palace Master.

Judging by Senior Lei's age, and the ability to contend with Cang Yue's formidable cultivation.

It is known in the Central Region that obtaining the title of Sub Hall Master is no small feat.

A normal Asura Warrior might hunt demons for decades without being able to promote even once.

Moreover, the status of a Sub Hall Master is also apparent.

At least among those Sub Hall Masters Xiao Yi had encountered, Senior Li He and Senior Lei, both were masters of profound cultivation.

Presumably, it is the same elsewhere; in the Ancient Eight Halls, each Sub Hall Master must be a person of great renown.

Their power is also immense.

As for why Senior Lei could appear just in time and rescue him from Cang Yue.

It was because Senior Lei and Senior Li He shared a deep connection as well.

Star Swapping City is separated from Green Light City by just one large city.

And the Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall are allied halls, naturally, the two share a profound relationship.

Almost at the same time Xiao Yi left Star Swapping City, Senior Lei was already informed.

Senior Lei came all the way to find Xiao Yi, intending to have him accept the promotion appointment.

It was just at the moment when Xiao Yi killed the Wang Family Patriarch, as Cang Yue appeared, that Senior Lei arrived and rescued him.

At this moment, the staff had already handed the token back to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi thanked him and stood up to salute Senior Lei, "Thank you, Senior Lei, for your assistance this time. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will surely repay your kindness."

"I still have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

"Take your leave?" Senior Lei was just chatting leisurely with Xiao Yi.

This sudden statement from Xiao Yi made him pause in surprise.

"Leave? Where are you going?" Senior Lei abruptly stood up, staring at Xiao Yi.

"You kid, don't you realize your current situation?"

"If you dare step out of Asura Hall, that old geezer will definitely hunt you down."

Xiao Yi let out a bitter laugh and said, "I know, but I can't possibly hide in Asura Hall forever."

"You don't need to worry about that." Senior Lei waved his hand, smiling, "You are an extraordinary prodigy, shockingly gifted."

"If you keep hiding inside the Asura Hall, it will only hinder your growth. This old man certainly won't let that happen."

"So what does Senior Lei mean?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

Senior Lei smiled and said, "It's simple; our Asura Hall has a certain safety perimeter."

"Now that you genuinely hold the title of Sub Hall Master."

"As long as you move within this hall's designated range, no one dares to target you."

"If that old geezer dares to defy the heavens and kill you within this range, he would be challenging the Asura Hall, facing pursuit from both our Asura Hall and the Wind Shattering Hall."

"He doesn't have the guts for that."

"Nearby Green Light City, there are quite a few dangerous places for you to train."

"Once you achieve enough strength, it won't be too late to leave."

Xiao Yi understood what Senior Lei meant.

However, he still shook his head, sighed, and said, "When will I have achieved enough strength?"

"If I aim to reach the level of strength you possess, Senior Lei, it might take ten or eight years at least, maybe even longer."

Senior Lei frowned and said, "In martial cultivation, several decades are just a fleeting moment."

"With your talent, you are sure to reach my level within ten years."

"Ten years?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don't have that much time to wait."

"I must leave."

Senior Lei's face hardened, and he said sternly, "Kid, don't blame me for not warning you."

"The old geezer hunting you is a Saint King Realm powerhouse."

"Even I can only contend with him, pressuring him with the name of Asura Hall."

If you ignore advice and insist on leaving, you will undoubtedly die."

Xiao Yi still shook his head, but the words spoken by Senior Lei caught his attention.

"Saint King Realm?" Xiao Yi inquired puzzledly, "May I ask, Senior Lei, what realm is that?"

"Does it mean that after the Infinite Sacred Realm, there are other realms to reach Martial God?"

Regarding cultivation matters, Xiao Yi was particularly attentive.

Senior Lei shook his head, "No, after the Infinite Sacred Realm, there is Martial God."

"However, some fools always like to call the Infinite Realm the Infinite Sacred Realm."

"In reality, the Infinite Realm is just the Infinite Realm, known as such since Ancient Times."

"Naturally, some fools have also forgotten the true meaning of the Infinite Realm."

"The so-called Infinite Realm, signifies Martial Arts Limitless, a path far longer than anyone imagines."

"Martial Arts Limitless, Infinite Realm, holds all possibilities."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yi frowned, not quite understanding.

"Fool." Senior Lei scolded lightly, "Martial Arts Limitless can't be represented by a mere 'sacred' word."

"After Saint, there are indeed other levels."

"But those levels are still within the Infinite Realm."

"Let it be." Senior Lei waved his hand, "You are merely at the Heavenly Extreme Realm now, more talk is useless."

"You will understand gradually in the future."

"Back to the main point, a Saint King Realm expert is among the top-tier in the Central Region, each being a formidable presence."

"The force behind that old geezer is no small fry."

"How did you provoke such a great power?"

Xiao Yi let out a bitter laugh but then realized, "Senior Lei doesn't know about the Holy Moon Sect?"

He recalled that Cang Yue had identified himself as someone from the Holy Moon Sect.

"I don't know." Senior Lei shook his head, "The Central Region is vast, and the forces here are more than a hundred thousand, who can know them all?"

"Moreover, there are also some forces that are very powerful yet exceptionally low-key, never leaving their gates for years on end."

"And there are some hidden families, sects, and such."

"In any case, no one dares say they know all the forces in the Central Region."

"Perhaps in the Scrolls Room, there are records about this sect; perhaps I've seen the name of this sect but don't remember it."

"After all, I have no impression of it."
