69: Chapter 69 Half a Year

After slightly stabilizing his strength.

Ye Xiu walked out of the barrier and returned to the back hall.

Inside the back hall.

Seven barriers were still floating in the hall.

Xing Mu sat cross-legged in the air, her aura becoming increasingly ethereal.

After killing her 'Past Self', although she still had the same personality, Ye Xiu always felt that something was different.

"I am not surprised that the monkey could comprehend the Saint Emperor Sutra, as it is a Cultivation Technique of the same origin. However, I didn't expect you to be able to master the entry-level of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra."

"Are you surprised?"

Ye Xiu watched the slowly descending Xing Mu, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Her aura had grown much stronger again.

Xing Mu smiled faintly: "Even the Human Emperor failed to master the entry-level, what do you think?"

"It isn't difficult, is it?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised.

"The Dao lineage is different, and the Realm is too high, making it difficult to enter. It is quite normal."

"The monkey hasn't come out yet?"

Ye Xiu did not continue that topic but instead asked about the situation of Hou Liubai.

"This time, you owe me another favor."

"What?"

"You have been in the barrier for half a year, and the monkey left a long time ago."

Xing Mu rolled her eyes at Ye Xiu, looking slightly displeased.

"So long?"

Ye Xiu was surprised; while cultivating, he didn't feel like much time had passed.

No wonder Xing Mu said he owed her another favor.

Waiting for half a year.

It was indeed quite boring.

"Take this."

Xing Mu took a small knife from her sleeve and threw it to Ye Xiu.

Afterwards.

She then explained: "This is something belonging to Sword Lord Li Si; it might be of great use at certain times."

The small knife was only a dozen centimeters long.

It was bone-chillingly cold.

The blade was as black as ink.

Ye Xiu played with it for a moment, but did not discover anything miraculous, so he had to first fuse it into the flesh of his arm.

Perhaps it would be of great use in the future.

"Let's go, let's go to the Demon Court and see. I don't know if that monkey has been beaten to death."

Xing Mu's words were very casual.

The two left the palace.

Outside.

There were birds singing and fragrant flowers, mountains, rivers, and lakes.

This made Ye Xiu slightly stunned; had there been such a big change in half a year?

The scene of mountains of corpses was still vivid in his mind.

In just half a year, this space had completely changed its appearance.

"Stop looking, let's go."

With a wave of Xing Mu's hand, a pitch-black passage appeared above the lake.

There were no extra words.

The two stepped into the air and entered the passage directly.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains.

At the entrance of the ancient land passage, the golden light of the phoenix feather brush became increasingly radiant.

After the two walked out of the passage.

The phoenix feather brush immediately returned to Xing Mu's side, transforming into a rideable state.

Sizzle...

Without the support of the phoenix feather brush.

The pitch-black passage was shrinking rapidly.

Finally, it turned into a black speck of light and disappeared into Xing Mu's pupils.

"I need to return to Tianfu City, so I won't accompany you there."

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said.

He was still a bit worried about the situation in the Great Xia.

Although the noble families had all flooded into Yunzhong City, there was a Ghost Realm entrance beneath Tianfu City.

Buddhism.

In the current situation, they were not good news.

Whether that little monk suppressing the Ghost Realm was good or bad, it was hard for him to judge.

What if he was up to no good?

Even if Master Zhang was stationed in Tianfu City, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be a bloodbath.

After all.

A person's power is limited.

No matter how strong you are, if you are held back, it is very difficult to free up your hands to protect the weak, ordinary people.

"Fine, when the matters of the Demon Court are settled, I will go to Xingluo Mountain to find you."

Xing Mu did not insist.

After saying this, she sat sideways on the phoenix feather brush, rose into the air, and soon disappeared into the horizon.

"The Ancient Imperial Court, huh?"

Sigh...

Ye Xiu sighed in his heart.

Xing Mu killing her 'Past Self' left a very deep impression in his heart.

What kind of level must one's strength reach to have this state appear?

There is a 'Past Self'.

Then is there also a 'Future Self'?

How strong is Xing Mu's Peak strength?

Is she the Human Emperor?

Or was she one of the supreme experts from the same generation as the Human Emperor...

For such a figure, the chance of successfully re-establishing the order of the Imperial Court was very high.

Moreover, that monkey had clearly fallen into the trap.

He was being manipulated tightly by Xing Mu.

And he himself was not much better off; his entanglement with the Imperial Court was too deep.

The Blade Master Legacy, the ancient Cultivation Technique—these two incomparably powerful Legacies were both intentionally allowed to be obtained by him by Xing Mu.

Now that he thought about it.

If he wanted to draw a clear line with the Ancient Imperial Court, it was probably just wishful thinking.

He shook his head slightly.

After setting aside his complex thoughts.

Ye Xiu then took to the air and flew in the direction of Tianfu City.

Swoosh...

His speed was extremely fast.

In just over ten minutes, he had already crossed the Hundred Thousand Mountains region.

Although this world had expanded ten million times after the recovery of Spiritual Qi, it was still not very large for current Cultivators.

At Ye Xiu's speed.

It only took him one day to return to Tianfu City.

This was a distance of millions of miles.

The border region.

Was still orderly.

Extending his Qi Sense, in just a few seconds, he understood the entire situation in Tianfu City.

"No abnormalities? That is indeed a good thing."

Ye Xiu returned to Xingluo Mountain.

He came to his own exclusive Spirit Gathering Array and began to stabilize his Realm.

He was currently at the Perfection of the Mingdao Realm.

He was within the [Shengui Realm].

If he were to start breaking through the Bloodline shackles at the normal speed.

Then, to reach the [Void Imperial Realm].

It would probably take quite a long time to achieve.

"Should I go to the Nine Realms Tower again?"

Ye Xiu hesitated.

In the Nine Realms Tower region, there was the existence of Deity Obsession.

On his way back to Tianfu City, he had specifically made a detour to take a look.

The eerie mist there was becoming increasingly dense.

It was no longer limited to the ten-mile radius of the Nine Realms Tower, but had covered a hundred-mile area.

It had expanded by more than ten times.

It was likely that in the past year or so, new changes had occurred.

The Heavenly Emperor Sutra circulated within his body.

The speed of Spiritual Qi absorption was much faster than the [Primordial Martial Arts General Outline]. Besides that, this ancient Cultivation Technique also had miraculous effects in breaking shackles.

It could condense his own Bloodline Power and directly strike at the Bloodline shackles.

This made the speed of breaking through the shackles.

Much faster.

The only pity was that the comprehension of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra required absorbing supreme treasures, such as the [purple qi] he had obtained before.

But he had already cleared the trial of the Imperial Court Secret Realm.

Even if he entered the Secret Realm again, he would likely not gain anything.

"It seems that if I want to comprehend the Heavenly Emperor Sutra, I can only rely on the Epiphany state in the Nine Realms Tower."

While Ye Xiu was breaking through the Bloodline shackles.

He made up his mind to go to the Nine Realms Tower.

The Deity Obsession was certainly terrifying.

But with his own combat power, as long as he didn't face the headless Deity Obsession head-on, there shouldn't be any major problems.

In the Nine Realms Tower.

According to his experience from several times.

The guards for the Extreme Realm breakthrough would become stronger as the number of times increased.

In the end.

He would likely have to fight the young Human Emperor.

Therefore.

In order not to waste the Epiphany state.

Ye Xiu had to enter the Nine Realms Tower while in a state of being about to break through.

Only then could he use the Epiphany state.

To maximize his comprehension of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra.
