Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Someone has broken into the Sealing Emperor Hall!"

"Who has come? We didn’t even notice. Could it be that Central State Martial Artists accidentally entered?"

"I seem to have seen it, Xiao Ye has returned and entered the Sealing Emperor Hall."

"Xiao Ye, the Heavenly Pride? Wasn’t he in Central State? How could he suddenly come back?"

...

The Sealing Emperor Hall was opened once more, and the massive commotion drew the attention of the Martial Artists in Sealing Emperor City.

However, at this moment, the Array surrounding the Sealing Emperor Hall still existed, and only those with the Heavenly Elder’s Jade Talisman could approach it.

"What could the Heavenly Elder have left in the Sealing Emperor Hall? And what secrets does it hold?"

"The Heavenly Elder has said before that the Sealing Emperor Hall is more than just a training ground for the city’s Heavenly Pride; it contains great secrets."

Xiao Ye rushed through the gates of the Sealing Emperor Hall, feeling an indescribable tension in his heart.

To become a Half-step Emperor Level expert in such a short time was exceedingly difficult, even if he possessed the Heaven-defying treasure, the Time Tower, there was no hope whatsoever.

Because, from his current strength to reaching the height of a Half-step Emperor, there were numerous barriers, and he couldn’t surpass them with time alone.

Given his current circumstances, he had no choice but to place his hope in the Heavenly Elder.

He had once inquired about the secrets of the Sealing Emperor Hall, but the Heavenly Elder was reluctant to elaborate.

Swish!

His form flashed as Xiao Ye arrived within the Sealing Emperor Hall.

The spacious palace was silent. Xiao Ye looked around, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his gaze fixated on a particular direction.

The Sealing Emperor Hall was still the same Sealing Emperor Hall.

However, the majestic aura the hall once possessed had disappeared, and even the passage leading to the Barbaric Land had closed, leaving only a vibrant life force within.

The statue of the Iron Blood Emperor that once stood in the Great Hall had vanished, replaced by a glowing portal filled with colorful light, leading to an unknown destination.

It seemed as though the entire vibrancy of the Sealing Emperor Hall had been swallowed by this glowing portal, with a roaring sound constantly echoing.

Xiao Ye approached, immediately sensing a wave of desolate and tragic aura emanating from the portal, filling him with unstoppable shock.

"When I previously entered the Sealing Emperor Hall, I never discovered such a portal next to the Iron Blood Emperor’s statue."

"Could this be what the Heavenly Elder referred to?"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed. He paused in silence for a moment, and then, bold with his skills, he stepped straight into the glowing portal.

Since the Heavenly Elder wanted him to return to the Sealing Emperor Hall, naturally, he would not harm him.

Boom!

Upon stepping into the glowing portal, Xiao Ye’s mind immediately reverberated, his body surrounded by mysterious forces, and he lost control over his body, a feeling of powerlessness sweeping over him.

It was as if his body had fallen into an invisible ’long river’, carried forward continuously by this river. Looking around, he saw the fleeting shadows of Martial Artists appear one after another.

They were either heroic and unparalleled, or drenched in blood and unyielding, their war intents burning through the Nine Heavens, or perhaps old and frail, looking up at the sky in lengthy discourse...

These Martial Artists appeared vividly real before Xiao Ye, shaking him to his core.

The path of martial arts is arduous and difficult. For countless Martial Artists striving for the summit of martial arts, only four have stood at the peak throughout history, renowned through the ages, eternally immortal, while all others have long faded into obscurity.

As Xiao Ye was caught up in his emotions, suddenly his body sank as if falling into an Abyss, swallowed by a wondrous power.

When he opened his eyes again, he was stunned.

At this moment, he was no longer in the Sealing Emperor Hall but in a vast world.

The sky here was blue, the sun bright, the air pristine, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi incomparably rich—truly a treasure land, with towering Heavenly Trees and endlessly flowing rivers everywhere.

Vaguely, the roars of Ferocious Beasts could be heard echoing straight to the Heavenly Dome, shaking hearts and filled with a primeval aura.

"This... where is this..."

Xiao Ye rose into the air, looking down from the sky, the more he observed, the more shocked he became.

This scene was all too familiar!

Back when he first arrived on the True Spirit Continent, participating in the Dynasty Battle in East State, at the final gate—the Talent Cemetery, he had once entered a True Spirit Continent from the Iron Blood Emperor era, conjured by the energy of the Talent Cemetery.

What he saw then was vividly similar to what he saw now!

Could it be...

Has the Sealing Emperor Hall once again created an illusion of the True Spirit Continent from the Ancient Era?

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Xiao Ye’s expression changed. With a flip of his palm, he retrieved the Jade Talisman given by the Heavenly Elder from his Space Ring.

The Jade Talisman burst forth with light, and an Emperor’s Martial Intent shot towards Xiao Ye, piercing into his mind.

"Xiao Ye!"

"The Sealing Emperor Hall was built by our Sealing Emperor Hall’s predecessors to commemorate the achievements of the Iron Blood Emperor. In truth, within the hall lies a Supreme Array left behind by him."

"This Array has been protected by generations of our Sealing Emperor Hall’s ancestors, frequently nurtured with Martial Arts Origin Power. Once activated, using the Sealing Emperor Hall as the Array’s core, and guided by the Iron Blood Emperor’s Martial Arts Mark, it can create a new world, equivalent to forcibly sending someone intact into the Ancient Era."

"The treasures and opportunities in the Ancient Era far surpass those of our current True Spirit Continent. You can cultivate and break through here. I hope it will benefit you."

"Remember, the moment the Jade Talisman shatters completely is when you will return."

The Heavenly Elder’s ancient voice echoed in Xiao Ye’s mind, leaving him shocked and gasping in disbelief.

Heavens!

It’s too incredible!

What Array could send someone into the Ancient Era for cultivation?

Is this reality or an Illusion Realm?

So, this is the secret of the Sealing Emperor Hall!

No matter what, this method of sending him into the Ancient Era—this entire Sealing Emperor Hall would probably be reduced to nothing, a huge price to pay.

"To the predecessors of Sealing Emperor City, I, the junior Xiao Ye, thank you for your great kindness!" Xiao Ye took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and bowed to the void.

Whether this was an Illusion Realm or reality, it was recorded in legend that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the Ancient Era was extremely abundant, filled with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and had the emergence of such breathtaking geniuses as the Human Race Four Emperors, martial arts bursting with brilliance. Cultivating here indeed evoked excitement.

Crack!

Just then, a crisp sound entered Xiao Ye’s ears.

Looking down, he saw that a deep crack had appeared on the Jade Talisman in his hand.

"It seems I don’t have much time here; I must seize every moment. I don’t know what treasures and opportunities await that could help me break through!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with brilliance. He put away the Jade Talisman and soared into the air, heading forward.
