Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Barbaric Land, desolate everywhere, ancient mountains stand between Heaven and Earth, intertwined with dense forests, resembling True Dragons soaring, or like unrivaled Ferocious Beasts entrenched.

In a mansion filled with ancient vibes, almost entirely made of stone, rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi stretched like ribbons across the Heavenly Dome, drawn in, rushing towards a black-robed youth inside, covering his entire body.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four shadows of the Emperor Realms appeared around the youth as if they were real Great Worlds, devouring all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Upon closer inspection, one could find that within the youth, a Shen Cang seemed activated, unleashing terrifying torrents of energy, bursting out at an astounding speed, remodeling his Physical Body, causing it to spontaneously emit a golden Divine Radiance while also being injected into the four Emperor Realms.

Under the double effects of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the four Emperor Realms were simultaneously undergoing Transformation, making the figure sitting cross-legged inside them more Condensed, ready to manifest at any moment.

Swish!

Xiao Ye opened his eyes, flames burst in his pupils, cold as the Sun in the universe, unbearable to stare at.

His black hair moved automatically without wind, turning golden, even his dark eyes were covered with Golden Radiance, his strong physique like cast in gold.

Whirling!

Golden Blood Qi surged, flooding this Heaven and Earth, golden droplets floated like Divine Blood in the void.

"Such powerful effects, just one Dual-Polarity Ganoderma not only enhanced my cultivation significantly, approaching Emperor Seventh Level Late Stage, but even elevated the Fourth Layer of Dominator Body."

Xiao Ye was filled with excitement.

Perhaps the Dual-Polarity Ganoderma discovered by Wu Ming in Central State back then was far inferior in age to the one he obtained from the Thunder Sect Leader.

The medicinal properties of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Ancient Era are incredibly exaggerated, he felt gathering all items on Wu Ming’s list seemed within reach.

By then, the Fourth Layer of Domineering Body might reach Perfection, his Physical Body comparable to the Invincible Title Emperor, how could he not be thrilled?

Three days ago, after establishing an agreement with the Witch Demon Clan and Thunder Sect, both forces ceremoniously invited him into a city named Barre located at the junction of their territories to rest, even offering a mansion for cultivation.

The two forces meanwhile proceeded according to his list to gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for him.

"Lord Xiao Ye, our Thunder Sect has found another Dual-Polarity Ganoderma, we hurriedly bring it to you." At this moment, a respectful voice came from outside.

"Humph, Lord Xiao Ye, we Witch Demon Clan also traded with a Martial Artist for an item from your list of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

Soon after, another slightly cold yet equally respectful voice followed, unwilling to be outdone.

"Found them so quickly?"

Xiao Ye smiled lightly, stepping out.

Arriving outside, he saw the Thunder Sect Leader and Witch Demon Clan Leader standing there, each holding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in their hands, eyeing each other, poised for a fight over a disagreement.

Upon seeing Xiao Ye emerge, they immediately became respectful.

The terrifying commotion generated by Xiao Ye during cultivation made them deeply aware this youth undeniably possessed valuable treasures, immeasurable and not to be offended.

"Excellent!"

"Considering your efforts, I can grant you the cultivation techniques ahead of time. Continue looking for the items on the list, there’s plenty of cultivation techniques and combat techniques here."

Xiao Ye waved his hand, collecting the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, while brushing over the Space Ring, handed each of them a book of cultivation techniques.

The martial arts of the Ancient Era were backward, and contemporary Martial Artists had not thoroughly researched the effects of many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, recognizing very little, like the Thunder Sect Leader merely knowing the Dual-Polarity Ganoderma enhances cultivation, exchanging it for techniques without regret.

"Cultivation Techniques!"

The Thunder Sect Leader and Witch Demon Clan Leader were thrilled, immediately catching the books and flipping through, soon they were utterly astounded.

Compared to those techniques thrown by Xiao Ye, the Purple Star Heavenly Technique previously fought over by their forces was mere rubble.

When they looked up, Xiao Ye had already returned indoors to continue his cultivation.

"If we can obtain more techniques and combat techniques from Lord Xiao Ye, our Thunder Sect surpassing the Witch Demon Clan is within sight!"

"Humph, dream on, our Witch Demon Clan has all members out searching, definitely faster than your Thunder Sect!"

The Thunder Sect Leader and Witch Demon Clan Leader exchanged a glance, and swiftly departed.

"The martial arts of the Ancient Era were way too backward, how can this era still be teeming with geniuses." Inside, Xiao Ye heard their argument, shaking his head helplessly.

If those two knew that the Emperor Martial Techniques Xiao Ye casually handed were mere common goods in future, any second-rate sect could produce heaps, it’s uncertain what would they think.

"But... since coming to this era, apart from cultivation, it’s also essential to witness the geniuses and strongmen of the time; only then would this trip be worthwhile."

"After all, beyond the Nine Stars Title Emperor, there have definitely been prodigies in this era!" Xiao Ye’s eyes glimmered with expectation.

From Thunder Sect and Witch Demon Clan Martial Artists, Xiao Ye learned of the Ancient Era; Barbaric Land, vast territory, a landscape in awaiting process, with no future Central Province Eighteen Domains or even Endless Sea existing.

The entire Ancient Era formed one complete continent, divided into Four Great States: East, South, West, and North. Each state dwarfed those of future times, with immense size, numerous mixed forces, and chaos, where life was fragile, safety in jeopardy.

Especially nearly a millennium ago, the first Unrivaled Emperor of the Human Clan emerged, dominating the Universe, sweeping across realms, ascending to supreme realms in era of martial insufficiency.

Based on personal Martial Arts Enlightenment, he established cultivation techniques and combat techniques, clarified Martial Arts cultivation realm, initiating this era’s Martial Arts into the right path, ushering a Martial Arts Golden Age.

During this time, countless Human Heroes rose, apart from sects; numerous powerful families existed, like the Witch Demon Clan and Thunder Sect, situated in the West State of Four Great States.

Currently, Iron Blood Emperor had shown his edge, intimidating the realms, overpowering geniuses with his youth but had not ascended to supreme realm, rumored to be in East State meditating.

"Best to wait for cultivation to advance to Emperor Seventh Level Late Stage, or for Domineering Body to enhance further before venturing out to see the geniuses of the Ancient Era."

"This era’s martial arts are lagging, yet there’re so many geniuses, surely a reason I don’t know."

Although the martial arts and combat techniques of Ancient Era were crude, Xiao Ye dared not underestimate everything.

At present, he took out the recently acquired Dual-Polarity Ganoderma, consumed it, and continued cultivating.
