Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 705: What Do You Understand

Everyone was still refining Wind Crystals.

According to what Princess Fengxu had said earlier, the deeper one traveled into the Fengxu Secret Realm, the more difficult and dangerous it would become.

Therefore, it was best for everyone to refine any Wind Crystal they got immediately, enhancing their strength before moving on.

Xiao Yi stood waiting with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance.

His expression was indifferent as if lost in thought.

Sensing something, Princess Fengxu spoke softly, "What is Young Master Xiao Yi thinking about?"

Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze and replied indifferently, "Nothing much."

His eyes briefly lingered on the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky.

"Are the snowflakes inside the Fengxu Secret Realm always this slow?" Xiao Yi asked quietly.

"Yes," Princess Fengxu nodded.

"According to our royal family’s historical records, this part of the world within the Secret Realm used to be outside."

"Later on, for some reason, it was sealed off."

Princess Fengxu smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao Yi also knows that our Fengxu Kingdom always enjoys pleasant weather."

"It seldom snows."

"And when it does, it’s these small flakes of Fengxu snow. It doesn’t make people feel cold, but instead, it’s quite beautiful."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "But who would have thought that within this beauty lies great killing intent."

"Oh?" Princess Fengxu blinked in surprise, looking at Xiao Yi with puzzlement.

Xiao Yi said calmly, "Aren’t the demon beasts hidden within this vast land one of the sources of killing intent?"

Princess Fengxu smiled and responded, "Young Master Xiao Yi is joking."

"There may be risks, but they’re not significant."

"I’ve been to the Secret Realm before, and I’ve always been able to leave unharmed. It doesn’t quite qualify as killing intent."

Xiao Yi just smiled, saying nothing.

In fact, there were some things he didn’t articulate.

Ever since he had entered this Secret Realm, he had been feeling that something was off.

But he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong, nor was he certain, so he didn’t utter a word about it.

Suddenly, Princess Fengxu crouched down and picked up a small lump of snow from the ground.

It must be said, Princess Fengxu was very beautiful.

A fragile, water-like beauty that could make one’s whole body feel tender.

Her slender fingers, her skin as smooth as curd, even whiter than the snow.

Strands of snow slipped through her fingers until all had fallen through.

"In our Fengxu Kingdom, it seldom snows; whenever it does, it’s always these wisps of Fengxu snow."

"Snowflakes drifting slowly down, so beautiful."

"The snow here is unlike in other places—it’s not coarse; instead, it’s soft, delicate, and comforting."

Princess Fengxu seemed to be speaking to herself, somewhat absent-minded.

"If war should spread and the mercenaries of the Gale Kingdom were to slaughter their way here, we would probably lose such a scene forever."

Xiao Yi sighed, remaining silent.

After all, this world ultimately revered strength.

On this continent, Martial Arts were held in high esteem.

Whether it’s individuals, families, powers, or even kingdoms—if one doesn’t possess enough strength, then they are merely ants, easily trampled upon by all.

By now, everyone had finished refining their Wind Crystals.

Li Hao and others had slightly increased their aura, though there were no substantial breakthroughs in power.

On the contrary, Du Youyou, who was at the Mystic Breakthrough Realm, had actually broken through an entire layer of Cultivation.

After all, these Wind Crystals contained vast amounts of Primordial Power.

Moreover, with their astonishing purity, they were indeed exceptional Cultivation Items.

"Let’s go," said Princess Fengxu, coming back to her senses and once again leading everyone forward.

As they traveled, they occasionally encountered demon beasts, and often in numbers greater than one hundred.

This time, it was no longer Li Hao alone killing the demon beasts.

Everyone was fighting together.

Now everyone knew that these Wind Crystals within the beasts were treasures.

Every additional one they could seize meant a further increase in their Cultivation.

Only two people in the entire area were not taking action.

Princess Fengxu, as well as Du Youyou.

Du Youyou, unable to prevail over these demon beasts.

Xiao Yi, could casually dispatch dozens of them, snatch the Wind Crystals, and hand them to Du Youyou.

These Wind Crystals weren’t of much use to Martial Artists of his realm.

But for Du Youyou, they were extremely effective.

Time gradually passed.

A group of people walked and fought their way forward, slowly making progress while refining the Wind Crystals.

Several hours later, the strength of the demon beasts began to change.

Instead of Wind Wolves, they encountered Wind Lion Beasts.

Normally, Wind Lion Beasts are demon beasts at the Mysterious Profundity Realm level.

Here, however, they possessed the power of the Heavenly Element Realm.

Yet, for the group’s level of strength, this was nothing to worry about.

They didn’t slow down the group or cause much trouble.

The group kept moving forward, and the demon beasts they encountered gradually became stronger and more numerous.

After the majority of the day passed.

According to Xiao Yi’s estimation, the group had traveled over a thousand miles.

...

Another half a day went by.

Princess Fengxu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Our journey in the Secret Realm stops here," Princess Fengxu said solemnly, her expression starting to show seriousness.

"Stop here?" Li Hao complained.

The farther they went, the stronger the demon beasts encountered, and the higher the grade of Wind Crystals they would receive upon slaying them.

The Wind Crystals held more power, and the purity of that power was higher as well.

Princess Fengxu stated firmly, "We have traveled three thousand miles."

"Within this range, demon beasts ranging from the Late-stage Heavenly Origin to the Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm have begun to appear."

"Of course, those in the late stage are more common."

"This range is within our abilities to handle."

"If we continue forward, we will face densely populated Peak Heavenly Origin Realm demon beasts, or even stronger ones that we simply cannot withstand."

"This..." Li Hao couldn’t let it go.

Just then, several Wind Snow Giant Pythons launched an attack.

"Overestimating yourself," Li Hao said with disdain as he swiftly struck out with several palms.

In his eyes, killing a few Wind Snow Giant Pythons was effortlessly easy.

Yet, just two of these pythons managed to pin him down.

Another opened its gaping maw and charged at the group.

Princess Fengxu was about to act when someone was quicker than her.

Xiao Yi swung a Sword Qi from his hand, immediately dismembering the approaching Wind Snow Giant Python.

However, even after being dismembered, the Wind Snow Giant Python kept rolling around in the snow.

The demon blood it sprayed dyed a large expanse of the snow red.

It took several minutes before the ferocious head of the python finally thudded to the ground.

"Such tenacious life force," Xiao Yi frowned.

His Sword Qi was imbued with the power of Martial Arts, not something to take lightly.

Not only capable of dismembering the python, but also extinguishing its vital forces.

Yet the vitality of this python had clearly exceeded Xiao Yi’s expectations.

On the other side, Li Hao was entrenched in a bitter fight.

It wasn’t until Princess Fengxue stepped forward to help that they finally managed to easily kill the two Wind Snow Giant Pythons.

The Wind Snow Giant Pythons were at the power level of the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer.

And Li Hao’s strength was at the Heavenly Origin Eighth Layer.

"Damn beast," Li Hao cursed angrily and with a palm strike, he shattered the corpses of the two pythons into pieces.

Clearly, he was infuriated by the embarrassment he suffered in front of Princess Fengxu.

His anger was unleashed upon the corpses of the Wind Snow Giant Pythons.

With a wave of his hand, Li Hao collected the Wind Crystals.

"Such pure power, it’s reached the Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm level," Li Hao said joyously while holding the Wind Crystals.

Xiao Yi frowned, raised his hand, and drew the Wind Crystal from the python he had sliced to his own hand.

After sensing it for a moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"No, the level of power is only at the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer; the purity has reached the Earth Extreme Realm," Xiao Yi said gravely.

"Earth Extreme Realm?" Li Hao scoffed, "Kid, do you even know what the Earth Extreme Realm is?"

"Do you think reaching the Earth Extreme Realm is that easy? Such pure Elemental Power of that level is beyond your imagination."

Li Hao said, turning to the nine people beside him, proudly stating, "Li Family Master, my father, is a Peak Martial Artist of the Heavenly Element Realm."

"My perception, how could it be wrong."

...

First update.
