Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1772: Inside the Gate
Previously, it was said that those without a quota could not enter the main game.
In fact, to be more precise, it was that those without a quota essentially had no qualifications to enter the main game.
Except for the fifteen leaders, the rest of the Heavenly Talents could also enter the main game here.
But even if they did come in, there wasn’t much they could do.
Their cultivation and strength were too low; they couldn’t even touch the prohibition on the door.
Entering and not entering was no different.
As for Zhang Nanfeng, even though he had a quota, his cultivation and strength couldn’t keep up; he also couldn’t touch the prohibition.
The power and mysterious might of the prohibition were things he simply couldn’t approach, nor could he break through them.
Thus, he could only reluctantly give up and step aside.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi?"
At this moment, Zhang Nanfeng saw Xiao Yi walking over and murmured in confusion.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "The alchemy prohibition is quite complex, so I’ll choose your sword dao prohibition."
Zhang Nanfeng smiled, saying, "Well, the sword dao prohibition is easier."
"Let Senior Brother Xiao Yi break it, don’t let others take advantage."
Xiao Yi heard this and smiled but didn’t explain.
Whether it was simple or not wasn’t the main reason.
It was rather that he was a sword cultivator and preferred to break through these sword dao prohibitions.
Previously, Zhang Nanfeng first chose the sword dao prohibition, so he then decided to choose the alchemy prohibition.
Now that Zhang Nanfeng couldn’t touch these prohibitions, he naturally came to break through the sword dao prohibition.
Moreover, on the alchemy prohibition side, it would inevitably involve refining elixirs.
As Xiao Yi’s true identity at present, rather than Yi Xiao’s identity, without using powerful flames, refining elixirs is truly troublesome.
Xiao Yi sat down cross-legged and began to perceive the prohibition on the giant gate.
The eighteen giant gates, though similar in height and width, were distinctly different in shape.
The sword dao giant gate here seemed very much like a sharp, sky-piercing sword.
As soon as Xiao Yi sat down, a sharp breath already assailed him.
"So that’s it." Xiao Yi perceived for a while and suddenly realized.
The prohibition on the sword dao giant gate was formed by sword dao power.
Xiao Yi needed to comprehend and break through the sword dao knowledge within to break the prohibition.
This somewhat resembled the process of comprehending the martial arts stele.
No wonder they said there are opportunities within the main game.
Comprehending like this, even if ultimately he couldn’t break the prohibition, the profound sword dao knowledge within the prohibition was a harvest in itself.
Xiao Yi closed his eyes and pondered deeply.
In his mind, a figure appeared out of thin air.
The figure was unclear in appearance, clad in black, casual yet with a touch of gracefulness.
The figure held a shimmering white sword in his hand, casually gripping it.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
"The Ancient Emperor?"
The figure said nothing, only advanced with the sword.
Startled, Xiao Yi conjured a sharp sword.
Clang...
Just barely blocking.
The figure’s sword grazed across his sword body, stabbing directly.
"Such a fast sword." Xiao Yi was startled.
Ssst...
The sharp sword pierced straight into his chest.
Xiao Yi felt a sudden pain in his head, waking instantly.
The illusion in his mind had vanished.
There was not a single wound on his chest.
Yet the pain from just now remained real.
Xiao Yi wiped his mouth; it was evidently a bit moist from a trace of blood he had spat.
"Young Master Xiao Yi."
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi."
"Domain Master."
The crowd behind him gasped.
"No problem." Xiao Yi shook his head.
On the other side, similar gasps arose.
"Senior Brother Feifan."
"Senior Brother Golden Dawn."
"Vice Hall Master First Yun."
"Young Master Yao."
"Brother Lingg Hong."
"..."
Fifteen people, no, Zhang Nanfeng couldn’t touch the prohibition, so there were only fourteen.
Fourteen, all of whom awoke spitting blood from contacting the prohibition.
No, on closer inspection.
Precisely, only thirteen awoke spitting blood, including Xiao Yi.
Only in the area of the body cultivation prohibition, Mo Youu remained with eyes closed in contemplation, unaffected.
"Worthy of the Forget Sorrow Sword." Everyone looked at Mo Youu with an expression of astonishment.
Of course, the crowd also felt a sense of shock towards the main game’s prohibition.
Thirteen leaders, having just begun, had already failed?
Over here, after Xiao Yi wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, he frowned.
The sword of the figure in the mind earlier was truly formidable.
With Xiao Yi’s sword dao skills, even a simple block would be profound beyond measure.
If it were other opponents, even if countless more came, none would surpass his sword block.
Yet this figure, with merely a swift sword, reached the extreme of speed, instantly past his sword, piercing his chest.
For a sword cultivator, letting another’s sword slip past is a shame.
"Impressive sword dao skills." Xiao Yi squinted slightly.
"However, this makes it all the more interesting."
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, closed his eyes again, and contemplated the prohibition before him.
...
Time passed slowly.
This time, Xiao Yi did not wake up halfway.
Mo Youu was likewise.
Only the other twelve awoke occasionally, spitting blood.
...
Two hours later.
Lingg Hong woke up eight times.
The chief of the Five Great Academies, besides Guu Feifan, the other four, woke up six times.
Ao Yinfeng woke up five times.
Guu Feifan, Ye Liu, Ran Qi, and First Yun, Zhangsun Chilie, Hua Ruolian each woke up three times.
Only Mo Youu and Xiao Yi did not wake, continuously contemplating with closed eyes.
...
Four hours later.
The frequency of everyone waking began to decrease.
Lingg Hong woke up six times.
The chief of the Four Great Academies woke up four times.
Guu Feifan, Ye Liu, Ran Qi, and others woke up once.
...
Six hours later.
Only Lingg Hong kept waking intermittently.
The other leaders no longer woke.
The Heavenly Talents nodded upon seeing this, "It seems that the leaders are all confident in breaking the prohibition."
"Really curious about what’s behind the giant gate."
Each Heavenly Talent smiled wryly, "We’re just here to witness in the main game, unable to help at all."
"That may not be the case." Suddenly, an academy disciple said proudly.
"Oh?" The crowd turned their eyes to this academy disciple.
The academy disciple pursed his lips, refraining from saying more.
...
By six hours later.
Boom... Suddenly, a sound of tremendous energy burst forth from a giant gate.
"It’s the Body Cultivation Giant Gate." Everyone followed the energy to look.
"It’s broken; Mo Youu broke the prohibition."
"Amazing, truly worthy of the Forget Sorrow Sword Mo Youu; indeed, he’s the first to break the prohibition."
Mo Youu’s side of the prohibition was already broken.
And on the side of the other thirteen, there was no movement.
At this moment, Mo Youu awoke, slightly taking a deep breath, his face somewhat pale, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
The prohibition on the Body Cultivation Giant Gate was already broken.
Without the hindrance of this prohibition, Mo Youu lightly extended his hand and easily touched the massive gate.
"Be careful, everyone." Mo Youu first uttered, looking at the crowd.
All the Heavenly Talents showed a puzzled expression.
But the disciples from the Five Great Academies and Black Cloud Academy nodded.
Squeak...
A slight squeak.
Such a massive gate could be effortlessly pushed open, emitting a faint squeak.
Boom...
Almost the moment the door opened, a terrifying momentum surged out like an overwhelming force.
Also, nearly at the moment the door opened, everyone looked at the scene inside the door, instantly gasping.
"This... this... this..."
Inside the giant gate was a densely packed array of black shadows.
Looking closely, those were countless body cultivation puppets, numbering in the thousands.
Clearly, it was an army of body cultivation puppets.
...
The fourth update. (Explosion)
The remaining updates will be completed before half past one.
