Chapter 1370 - 1353: Fengyun Stone
Heading west, Xiao Ye saw more and more independent practitioners.
As he looked around, the faces of these martial artists were all adorned with excited and exhilarated smiles. Among them were quite a few Emperor Realm experts, and even some martial artists wearing sect attire.
"Hahaha, who would’ve thought the Fengyun Stone would appear again!"
"Legend has it that the Fengyun Stone is an extremely unique treasure on our True Spirit Continent, transformed by the great divine power of an Invincible Title Emperor Martial at the end of his life, containing his Law Profound Mysteries."
"I’ve been cultivating in the Fengyun Domain for five years just to wait for the reappearance of the Fengyun Stone!"
"If I could glean even a hint of insight from the Fengyun Stone on the Law Profound Mysteries, maybe I could become a Titled Emperor Martial too."
"Stop dreaming, the Fengyun Stone has existed for over a thousand years, and it appears randomly in the Fengyun Domain every few years. But over the millennia, how many people have truly gained any insights from it? Ordinary martial artists can’t even get within a hundred steps of it."
"True, the legend of the Fengyun Stone might be exaggerated. Otherwise, it would have been snatched away by powerful sects of the Central State long ago, and we independent practitioners would have no chance to approach it."
"Hmph, whether it’s true or not, I have to see it with my own eyes to know, otherwise, who would be satisfied?"
...
These independent practitioners flew rapidly westward, chattering loudly along the way.
"The Fengyun Stone, transformed by an Invincible Title Emperor Martial at the end of his life, contains Law Profound Mysteries!"
Upon hearing the discussions of these martial artists, Xiao Ye’s heart trembled, and his eyes burned with intensity.
On the True Spirit Continent, it’s common for many powerful martial artists to attempt various methods to pass on their lifelong Martial Arts accomplishments before they die. This isn’t unusual.
But for an Invincible Title Emperor to preserve his lifetime of Law Profound Mysteries, such a technique is unheard of. Even the Four Great Emperor Domains probably don’t possess such means, or they could endlessly create Title Emperor Martials, couldn’t they?
After advancing to the Emperor Martial Realm, most martial artists, except for monsters like himself with four Emperor Realms, begin to walk the path of Law Profound Mysteries.
Aside from the most transcendent Slaughter Principle among the Three Great Laws, the other Law Profound Mysteries are still a mystery to him, though he had some insights during five months of concurrent cultivation.
"Truly a place of Human Heroes and Earth Spirit, the Fengyun Domain, to encounter such a treasure so quickly."
"If this Fengyun Stone is as magical as they say, it’s worth seeing." Xiao Ye thought to himself.
To become a Great Emperor requires walking the Fusion Emperor Road, and relying solely on the Slaughter Principle is absolutely insufficient. One must comprehend other Law Profound Mysteries, and now might be an opportunity.
With this in mind, Xiao Ye remained calm and followed behind the independent practitioners.
Xiao Ye had changed his appearance with his Domineering Body, adopting the disguise of an independent practitioner. He was very inconspicuous among the crowd, so he didn’t attract any attention.
An hour later, a dense forest appeared before Xiao Ye. Countless towering trees overshadowed the sky, with faint roars of ferocious beasts emanating from within. However, the calm atmosphere was completely shattered, as a multitude of martial artists soared towards a certain direction.
"The Fengyun Stone is over there, rush quickly!"
"The Fengyun Stone only appears for four hours each time; no one knows when it will appear next time, seize the opportunity!"
"Whether we can become a Titled Emperor Martial depends on this time, I can’t wait any longer!"
...
Over ten thousand martial artists shouted as they rushed forward.
Besides them, numerous martial artists appeared to be going crazy, rapidly rushing towards the same direction.
"So many martial artists, it’s madness!" Xiao Ye was shocked, following the martial artists forward.
Throughout the dense forest, martial artists were everywhere. As Xiao Ye flew forward, he suddenly felt a powerful aura spreading in all directions, as if a mountain was pressing on them, slowing their pace more and more.
Occasionally, martial artists screamed as they fell from mid-air.
"What is this..."
Xiao Ye’s brow twitched, even he felt a strong repulsive force, hindering his progress.
His gaze pierced through the dense forest, and his pupils contracted.
A colossal icy-black stone, about the height of ten people, stood majestically among the trees, radiating immense power that spread in all directions from the stone’s center.
The closer martial artists got to the stone, the fewer there were, and their flying speed slowed to a crawl, trudging forward barely faster than a turtle, even on foot.
"So this is the Fengyun Stone?"
"Why does it feel like I have some special connection with this Fengyun Stone, as if we’ve been linked for a long time..."
Staring at the stone, Xiao Ye’s brow began to heat up, growing hotter the closer he got, reminiscent of the cause and effect bound to the Empress.
This change deepened Xiao Ye’s confusion as he meticulously analyzed the situation.
"Hmph!"
At that moment, a tall middle-aged martial artist coldly snorted, approaching the Fengyun Stone from afar. All martial artists in his path were knocked away, revealing his extreme arrogance and attracting many furious looks, though their gazes were filled with dread.
This middle-aged martial artist was extremely powerful, with a cultivation already at the peak of the sixth Emperor Realm, resisting the repulsive force and managed to fly to within two hundred steps of the Fengyun Stone, slowing down amid a clamor of astonishment.
Getting within two hundred steps of the Fengyun Stone— such power was terrifying.
"Disciples of the Infinite Sect have arrived too!"
At that moment, someone shouted, as seven youths in identical clothing approached from afar.
The Infinite Sect, reigning in the Fengyun Domain, naturally had disciples rushing over when the Fengyun Stone appeared nearby.
These disciples of the Infinite Sect were quite formidable and very kind, greeting nearby independent practitioners before charging toward the Fengyun Stone, almost reaching within two hundred steps.
Following the disciples of the Infinite Sect, several powerful martial artists appeared, with one directly rushing to within one hundred and seventy-eight steps, leaving people in shock.
"The Infinite Sect disciples have appeared? Never mind, I’ll first get close to the Fengyun Stone,"
Xiao Ye, having no clues regarding his changes, began channeling the Four Emperor Skills, and the pure Emperor Martial Power flowed within him, feeling instantly light as a feather, breezing past numerous martial artists, drawing many astonished glances.
