Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 693: The Master’s Master

Du Youyou took the Martial Technique book and stood up, obviously thrilled.

Without delay, she opened the Cultivation Technique and Martial Techniques and started reading them, unable to wait.

Xiao Yi watched her with a faint smile.

Although Du Youyou had caused quite some trouble and acted recklessly on their journey, her vivacious and quirky nature had indeed added quite a bit of fun to their travels.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi suddenly let out a light surprise.

Du Youyou, focused on that Cultivation Technique, had already entered a state of contemplation.

"Not bad," Xiao Yi praised.

He then retreated a few steps to avoid disturbing her.

"The innocence of a child is precious. Perhaps, this disciple is indeed worthy of being accepted," Xiao Yi nodded and muttered to himself.

With his understanding of her, Du Youyou was often reckless, but that was just her clear distinction between right and wrong.

As for what was right and wrong, she had a clear understanding.

In Breeze City, when she encountered the despicable people from the Zhong and Hu families, she found them displeasing and would punch them without hesitation.

Perhaps, this was the reason for her reputation for being reckless.

At this relic site, she felt that since she was adventuring with Xiao Yi, she should share some treasure.

Of course, it was also because she had come with Xiao Yi that, earlier when they encountered the middle-aged man, she knew death was imminent, but still refused to leave.

She hoped to depart with Xiao Yi.

And along the way, anything she didn’t understand or was unclear about, she wanted to touch and see for herself.

She was always filled with immense interest.

Even if she always caused trouble.

But, this was the heart of a child.

Seeing in black and white, distinguishing right from wrong, following one’s true nature.

She never tainted herself with the deceit and dangers of the outside world.

She was only 17 years old, still young; he hoped she could maintain this innocent heart as she grew up.

By the time she had matured, she would have been tempered enough.

Xiao Yi pondered to himself.

Xiao Yi moved aside and sat down to mind his own business.

He still had some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and materials left by the Poisonous Saint.

Xiao Yi could just refine some special elixirs such as Detoxification Pills.

After some refining, Xiao Yi started to comprehend the Martial Techniques in the Poisonous Saint’s inheritance.

Although he had chosen the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book for his Cultivation Technique.

The Martial Techniques of the Poisonous Saint were quite good offensive methods.

Among the Martial Techniques of the Poisonous Saint’s inheritance, there were more than a dozen.

But the only one that truly caught Xiao Yi’s attention was just one.

The Martial Technique was called Eight Desolate Poison Evil, which mobilized the Poison Evil within the body for explosive attacks.

When the Poison Evil emerged, a desolate stillness would spread for thousands of miles.

The Martial Technique was ranked at the peak of the Heavenly Rank.

Concerning the use of poison, there were some Secret Techniques in the inheritance.

However, only two were at the peak of the Heavenly Rank.

The rest were all high-level Heavenly.

Based on Xiao Yi’s speculation, having the title of Saint, the Poisonous Saint was a powerful being of the same level as the Skyfire Saint during the Ancient Times.

Yet, in the heritage left by the Skyfire Saint, he received a Heavenly Fire Domain.

This Domain Martial Skill was superior to the peak of the Heavenly Rank.

But there were no Domain Martial Skills in the heritage left by the Poisonous Saint.

Could it be that this inheritance was incomplete?

Xiao Yi shook his head.

He had already obtained the complete Poisonous Saint’s inheritance, which was entire and without any gaps in the Martial Arts knowledge, very complete.

Xiao Yi didn’t understand and didn’t bother to think too much about it.

With many secrets and methods from the Ancient Times, he would naturally comprehend them when he reached a sufficient level.

After contemplating the Eight Desolate Poison Evil for a while, Xiao Yi stopped.

To use the Eight Desolate Poison Evil, the prerequisite was that one must control at least one type of Poison Evil.

And at present, in his Small World, there were two types of Poison Evil, but they were only "seeds."

They were far from being fully formed.

These two "seeds" needed to be "nourished" with enough poison to grow.

To turn a "seed" into Poison Evil, the amount of poison needed was likely astronomical.

For the time being, where would he find so many highly toxic substances?

"That’s not right." Xiao Yi remembered, the Poisonous Saint was an expert in using poison.

How could the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and materials he left behind not contain anything poisonous?

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and materials Xiao Yi refined before, although high in rank, none contained potent poisons.

Xiao Yi suddenly found this strange.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, stepped out of the courtyard, and looked up at the sky.

High in the sky, black clouds gathered densely.

Previously, when he had just entered the ruins, he had thought these black clouds looked eerie, yet unremarkable.

But now, looking again, there was an inexplicable feeling.

"Poison clouds?" Xiao Yi’s face showed shock.

"Inhale."

With a low shout from Xiao Yi, his palm drew in the air.

The black clouds in the high sky were sucked in instantly.

Once the black clouds reached his hand, he examined them a few times, and his face immediately showed a look of realization.

"Indeed, it’s a poison cloud, so that’s how it is," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Contained within the black clouds was an extremely immense toxicity.

This was another gift left behind by the Poisonous Saint.

Since he left behind ’seeds,’ he would naturally also leave behind something for the ’seeds’ to grow with.

That something was these poison clouds that filled the sky.

No doubt, he had refined all the extreme poisons within him into this poisonous cloud during his lifetime.

Unless a successor of his inheritance intended to forcibly break through the various barriers of the ruins.

These poison clouds would automatically transform into the Eight Desolate Poison Evil and turn the entire ruin into a desolate land of poison in an instant.

"Inhale," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

This time, he inhaled with his full strength.

The black clouds in the sky, like rolling tornados, surged rapidly towards his body.

Under Xiao Yi’s strong control, the poison clouds completely entered his Small World.

The two ’seeds’ immediately leaped joyously like fish encountering water.

The ’seeds’ grew visibly at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

Once the black clouds in the sky were completely absorbed, the two ’seeds’ began to emit an eerie aura.

The Poison Evil was complete!

Sighing lightly, Xiao Yi stood up.

It seemed like the black clouds were absorbed quickly, but in reality, half a day had passed.

Calculating the time, he had already been in the ruins for over a day. It was time to leave.

Just at that moment, within the main courtyard, Du Youyou suddenly came to her senses.

"Master, Master," Du Youyou saw Xiao Yi outside the residence and hopped over excitedly.

"This Heavenly Rank Technique is quite difficult. There’s a lot I don’t understand."

With half a day’s contemplation, she had only grasped a small fraction.

"Heh," Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "Heavenly Rank Techniques are not so easy to comprehend."

"Let’s go, I’ll guide you slowly later."

"Thank you, Master," Du Youyou bowed deeply.

Xiao Yi accepted the bow with a smile.

He was deserving of this respect for imparting knowledge and skills as a teacher.

"Master," Du Youyou straightened up and curiously asked, "You’re so strong, Master, but what about your Master?"

"My Master?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Du Youyou smiled and said, "Of course, I mean my grandmaster."

"Grandmaster?" Xiao Yi’s smile abruptly stopped.

"Your grandmaster... is very strong," Xiao Yi paused and uttered a few words, "His surname is Yi."

"Is grandmaster also as handsome as Master? How strong is grandmaster?" Du Youyou asked, extremely curious.

"Of course," Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Your grandmaster is a true Martial Artist."

"What is a true Martial Artist?" Du Youyou asked.

"Daring to contend with heaven," Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Regrettably, he was defeated by the word ’love.’"

The latter words were merely thoughts in Xiao Yi’s mind.

"Daring to contend with heaven? I don’t understand," Du Youyou thought for a moment, looking puzzled, and shook her head.

"You’ll understand in the future," Xiao Yi said with a light smile, turned around, and slowly walked away.

Just as he turned, the smile on his face instantly became resolute.

Nine Martial Arts Realms: Mortal Realm, Postnatal, Innate, Mysterious Profundity, Mystic Breakthrough, Earth Origin, Heavenly Element, Earth Extreme, Heavenly Extreme.

He was only one realm away from reaching Heavenly Extreme.

He would ultimately fulfill the promise he once made.

Xiao Yi had walked away.

Behind him, Du Youyou stared blankly at Xiao Yi’s retreating figure.

Her intuition told her that although her master was very young, he carried countless stories on his shoulders.

It was only after a moment of distraction that she realized Xiao Yi had already gone far.

Around her, the eerie black atmosphere made her shiver.

"Master, ah no, Xiao Yi, wait for me," Du Youyou hurriedly jogged to catch up.
