Chapter 410: Xiao Tianjiao is Nothing Special!
Emperor Qian hurried out of the Forbidden Area Space and quickly found Xiao Yi.
At this moment, above Xiao Yi's head, a black vortex swirled, and surges of heaven and earth's energy transformed into torrents, pouring into his body and activating the God Sealing Seeds one after another.
The number of God Sealing Seeds was climbing rapidly.
It had reached ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine!
Just one step away from one hundred million God Sealing Seeds.
However...
It was this one hundred millionth God Sealing Seed that stood like an insurmountable wall, blocking Xiao Yi's path forward.
Over ninety-nine million God Sealing Seeds simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light, continuously refining the heaven and earth energy once more, turning it into the purest God Sealing force which fed back into Xiao Yi's dantian. Forming a crystal-clear lake comprised entirely of the God Sealing force, which immersed the Martial Dao Divine Fruit within the essence of God Sealing force.
The entire Martial Dao Divine Fruit seemed to be situated in the origin of heaven and earth, constantly undergoing the cleansing of the God Sealing force.
A subtle change was happening.
However.
At least for the current Xiao Yi, he was unable to feel this change.
Whoosh!
Exhaling a long breath of turbid air, Xiao Yi opened his eyes, showing a hint of regret, "What a pity, it seems that to break through the one hundred million God Sealing Seeds, I must step into the Dharma Manifestation Realm first!"
As he was thinking.
Xiao Yi suddenly felt a chilling creepiness sweeping over his body, and subconsciously he looked up to see Emperor Qian staring at him with an eerie expression.
Uh...
Xiao Yi was baffled, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"
"Come with me!"
Emperor Qian looked at Xiao Yi with a strange expression, gritted his teeth, and said.
It was this youngster indeed!
If it had not been for him devouring nearly one-eightieth of the heaven and earth energy within the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area, Emperor Qian wouldn't have been harshly reprimanded by Yang Zun and the others.
Xiao Yi was stunned, "Where to?"
"Come with me, that's all!"
Emperor Qian's face was grim.
Xiao Yi scratched his head, but since he had just acquired significant benefits from the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area, it wouldn't be polite to refuse Emperor Qian. He could only bite the bullet and follow him into the core area of the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area, into the dragon silhouette formed by the convergence of heaven and earth energy. With a swoosh, the surrounding space rippled like water ripples, and the figures of Xiao Yi and Emperor Qian appeared in the Forbidden Area Space.
Hiss!
Xiao Yi instinctively took a sharp breath of cold air as he stepped into the Forbidden Area Space; he felt six gazes, as substantial as reality itself, fall upon him.
Gulp!
Xiao Yi swallowed.
Emperor Qian's voice echoed within the Forbidden Area Space, "Father Emperor, two venerable ancestors, Xiao Yi has been brought here!"
"Father Emperor? Ancestors?"
Xiao Yi was thoroughly confused.
Emperor Qian's father? And his ancestors?
Could those be the former emperors of legend, said to have perished many years ago?
Xiao Yi instinctively looked up at the three individuals, feeling the aura of each person to be more profound and unending than Emperor Qian and the War King, signifying that their strengths far surpassed the War King and Emperor Qian. It was only at this moment that Xiao Yi truly understood why the Yang Family was able to control the Great Qian Dynasty and prevent the ten great sects from openly rebelling—indeed, they possessed a formidable power that made all factions wary.
Xiao Yi greeted the three ancestors with a cupped fist salute, "Xiao Yi pays respects to the three elders!"
Yang Zheng let out a cold snort, his voice carrying a powerful spiritual onslaught that would have severely wounded the soul of an ordinary Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouse.
However, Xiao Yi merely grunted and neutralized the terrifying spiritual onslaught.
Huh?
Yang Zheng and the other two revealed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Although Yang Zheng did not use his full strength, he was an expert of Spiritual Nirvana. How could Xiao Yi, a mere Tao Tribulation Realm Peak cultivator, endure his spiritual onslaught without changing his expression?
In the midst of their shock,
Xiao Yi frowned and spoke displeasingly, "Respected elder, this is our first meeting, and we have no grievances. Why would you strike at me so viciously?"
The spiritual onslaught just now was extremely powerful; had Xiao Yi not been exceptionally resolute in mind and far superior to his peers in spirit, the previous attack could have turned him into a fool.
"Xiao Yi, do you admit your guilt?" asked Yang Zheng with a darkened face.
Xiao Yi responded, "I do not."
Yang Zheng let out another cold snort and said, "You have drawn away one-eightieth of the heaven and earth vital energy accumulated within the Imperial Dragon Vein Forbidden Area of our Great Qian Dynasty, nearly jeopardizing the very foundation of our nation. Yet you claim you do not know your crime?"
Xiao Yi pursed his lips and looked at Emperor Qian, who was standing to the side, "The reason I could enter the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area was that I had made a significant contribution. It was an opportunity given to me as a reward by his majesty, Emperor Qian. Moreover, no one ever told me that a breakthrough within the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area could shake the nation's foundation. If we are to speak of guilt, his majesty, Emperor Qian, should be held accountable alongside me!"
"Xiao Yi, you..." Emperor Qian stared, wanting to cry but finding no tears.
How did this get pinned on him again?
Emperor Qian hastily looked towards Yang Zheng and the other two.
Yang Zheng hesitated slightly, then glanced at Yang Bingtian and the others.
Yang Bingtian said indifferently, "Xiao Yi, had you been cultivating normally within the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area, we would have had no cause to blame you. But was your cultivation normal? Does a typical progression from the Eighth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm to its peak necessitate the consumption of hundreds of years' worth of heaven and earth vital energy accumulated in the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area? You had better be candid and explain what method you used that led to such a significant loss of vital energy in the Dragon Vein Forbidden Area. If you confess frankly, I can forgive and forget, otherwise..."
They simply did not believe that Xiao Yi's breakthrough was merely due to cultivation.
They assumed that Xiao Yi must have resorted to some underhanded tactics to steal the heaven and earth vital energy.
After all...
How could a mere progression from the Eighth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm to its peak consume so much of the heaven and earth vital energy? That amount could have allowed thousands of Eighth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm cultivators to reach the peak!
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and, with an incredulous look at Yang Zheng and the others, said, "I didn't use any methods, so what exactly do you want me to explain?"
Bang!
Yang Bingtian slammed his palm onto the armrest, which shattered in response, a terrifying energy storm filling the entire Forbidden Area Space, his gaze firm and icy as he stared down Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, will you continue to persist in your delusion? Not to mention your breakthrough from the Eighth Layer to the Peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm, even Xiao Tianjiao did not consume so much of the heaven and earth vital energy when he was breaking through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Are you trying to tell me that your talent surpasses that of Xiao Tianjiao?" Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
Yang Zheng and Yang Zun also fixed their gaze on Xiao Yi.
Three masters of Spiritual Nirvana simultaneously locked their sights on him.
The invisible pressure they exerted was incredibly terrifying!
Most beings of his age would likely have a mental breakdown under such horrific pressure.
However...
Xiao Yi's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a hint of cold mockery as he coolly said, "Xiao Tianjiao counts for nothing! How dare he compare with me?"
What do you think?
