Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2169: Chapter 2166: Absolute Talent

Holy Moon Sect, at the Sect Square.

Xiao Yi looked at the elder before him and gave a slight bow.

The elder repeatedly shifted to the side, not accepting the bow, only letting out a bitter smile.

Xiao Yi also gave a bitter smile. "Dean Huoo, you guided my Martial Arts cultivation today; you fully deserve this bow."

Indeed, the elder was none other than Dean Huoo.

The one the Asura Hall Master mentioned, the one who could help Xiao Yi, was precisely this Old Dean of Heavenly Hidden Academy, the number one Martial Arts Teacher in the Central Region.

After Holy Moon Sect was sealed, only Holy Moon Sect and the Hidden Hundred Families were sealed inside.

The Martial Artists of the other major powers could actually have left long ago.

But most of those forces chose not to leave.

Heavenly Hidden Academy was one of them.

Dean Huoo had also remained inside Holy Moon Sect the whole time.

At this moment, Dean Huoo’s face was full of bitterness. "Boy, you’re now one of the Eight Palace Masters; this bow, this old man absolutely cannot accept."

"My guidance today was at the invitation of the eight Palace Masters, and besides, this old man has some friendship with the Asura Hall Master, so I came for that as well."

"Of course, being able to teach a Supreme Monster like you is also this old man’s good fortune."

"Enough." Dean Huoo’s expression suddenly changed. "Less idle chatter, let’s begin cultivation."

"Alright." Xiao Yi’s expression likewise turned serious as he waited for Dean Huoo’s guidance.

Dean Huoo pondered for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice, "First, according to the Asura Hall Master, you’ve walked your entire cultivation path on your own."

"Aside from Luoo Venerable having guided you for a few minutes back then, all the rest of your Martial Arts cultivation you figured out by yourself."

"And this old man has never guided you before either, so I’m not all that clear about your actual situation."

"However, that isn’t all that important." Dean Huoo said proudly, "As for your Martial Arts Dao before Supreme Peak Cultivation, this old man can temporarily ignore it."

To be able to be ignorant of a Martial Artist’s cultivation situation, and even declare that without knowing his Martial Arts Dao before Supreme Peak, he still dared to instruct him—with such confidence, in the whole Central Region, there was likely only Dean Huoo.

After all, if you’re unclear about a Martial Artist’s real situation, rashly giving guidance can easily go wrong, even pointing him down the wrong path, affecting his Martial Arts cultivation and causing serious consequences.

But Dean Huoo clearly did not need to worry about such things.

Dean Huoo continued, "You only need to tell me about your cultivation after stepping into the Saint Sovereign Realm."

"Start with when you received the Heaven and Earth Baptism."

"Every Legendary Martial Artist, at the instant he steps into the Saint Sovereign Realm, will welcome the Heaven and Earth Baptism."

"And that is also what marks a Martial Artist truly stepping into the Saint Sovereign Realm."

"The Heaven and Earth Baptism, huh?" Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "How should I describe it?"

"Very simple." Dean Huoo explained, "When the Heaven and Earth Baptism descends, there must be a phenomenon."

"You only need to tell this old man what that phenomenon was."

"As well as the scope covered by the Heaven and Earth Baptism, how long it lasted, and so on."

Xiao Yi pondered, recalling the situation when the Heaven and Earth Baptism came down.

Dean Huoo muttered to himself, "Normally, a Legendary Martial Artist can have one chance for the Heaven and Earth Baptism to descend."

"Of course, there are some who cultivate multiple Daos simultaneously and will have two, but without exception those are Supreme Monsters, and even then, very few can succeed."

"Breaking through while cultivating multiple Daos is extremely difficult in itself."

"And when the Heaven and Earth Baptism descends, its might is usually terrifying; Heaven and Earth’s Power covers a thousand meters in the sky, streams of Pure Spirit Energy like thick torrents pour down from the heavens."

"You must know, anyone who can step into the Legendary Realm is already a Martial Artist with exceedingly outstanding talent, one in ten thousand."

"And some Monsters so terrifying that their Heaven and Earth Baptism covers several li, with Pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy like a torrential downpour."

"Back then, the Heaven and Earth Baptism that descended for this old man was like a clear spring."

"With your talent, it will certainly be stronger. I’m afraid describing it as a lake wouldn’t be an exaggeration..."

Xiao Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "As for the Heaven and Earth Baptism, I had four descents."

"Four times, mm, impressive." Dean Huoo reflexively nodded, then a second later his expression changed. "Four times?"

"Mm." Xiao Yi nodded, then continued, "The first time was for my Poison Dao Cultivation."

"Heaven and Earth’s Power covered several dozen li in all directions; the Pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy turned into a river and poured down."

"A spiritual energy river?" Dean Huoo’s eyes narrowed.

Xiao Yi nodded. "The second time was for my Soul Dao Cultivation."

"Heaven and Earth’s Power likewise covered several dozen li around, slightly more."

"When the Heaven and Earth Baptism descended, there was not the slightest pressure."

"This part I don’t really understand. By rights, my Soul Master cultivation doesn’t have any heaven-defying Cultivation Technique, nor anything particularly special."

"It’s comparatively strong, but not to the point of being stronger than my Poison Dao Technique."

"Yet the Heaven and Earth Baptism for the Soul Dao was a few levels stronger than for the Poison Dao."

Xiao Yi continued, "The third time was for my Body Dao Cultivation, stronger than these two."

"Heaven and Earth’s Power covered roughly a hundred li; Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was like great rivers, even more surging and turbulent than the previous two times."

Xiao Yi spoke truthfully.

Since he wanted Dean Huoo to guide him, of course he had to clearly state his situation.

But in fact, his third Heaven and Earth Baptism should have been for his normal cultivation; the Heaven and Earth Baptism descended for the Body Cultivation Dao was actually the fourth time.

However, the Heaven and Earth Baptism descended when his normal cultivation broke through by relying on his vast Small World had directly become a boundless ocean; Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was directly like a vast sea.

The Heaven and Earth Baptism further directly turned into Heaven and Earth Refining, roaring endlessly.

Seeing Dean Huoo’s expression growing more and more shocked, Xiao Yi thought for a moment, and still decided not to mention that Heaven and Earth Baptism, so as not to stir up trouble.

Xiao Yi then said, "The fourth time was when my normal cultivation broke through; its might was about the same as the third time."

Dean Huoo was stunned for several seconds, swallowed hard, and only then came back to his senses.

"A full four Heaven and Earth Baptisms."

"In other words, you’re cultivating far more than four Daos simultaneously."

"And each one can stand as an independent system, ranking among the strongest categories in the Cultivation System."

Dean Huoo’s voice grew more and more grave. "Four Heaven and Earth Baptisms—twice forming rivers, twice forming great rivers."

"Do you know that at the level of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy River, as far as this old man knows, only the eight Palace Masters in their youth ever had such descents?"

"Monster, you really are a Monster—no, a freak."

Xiao Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose. "And then? What about the guidance for the next phase of cultivation?"

Dean Huoo’s face twitched. "In the face of absolute talent, under a perfectly tempered body from the Heaven and Earth Baptism, any extra questioning is no longer needed."

"Those so-called orthodox Martial Arts guidance methods to help you cross Martial Arts Bottlenecks and such are even less necessary."

"This old man will directly tell you about the cultivation situation from here on."

"In one sentence: after the Saint Sovereign Realm, you can grasp Space Power."

"Space lies beneath Heaven and Earth itself, inherently suffused with the aura of Heaven and Earth."

"Thus, it can mesh with any Martial Arts."

"Martial Arts with various attributes can, by means of spatial techniques, temporarily be fused."

"Hm?" Xiao Yi’s eyes instantly lit up.
