Chapter 1698: The Heart of the Strong; Indomitable Spirit
âThe martial world is the martial world. The court is the court. The territories of the five sky kings are the territories of the five kings. Maybe somebody can make a change, but not Brotherhood AllianceâŠâ The man in golden robe blandly said, âWe can live with the Hall of Returning Nature and the House of Chaotic Storms. Canât we live with the Monarchâs Hall? No matter what, the rise of the Monarchâs Hall will never be a problem for us!â
Shangguan Lingxiao was sweating. âThatâs correct.â
âIf possible, we should even share our resources with the Monarchâs Hall. Well, letâs call it cooperation.â The man in the golden robe said, âWe should give up something to keep out our brothers from death. What we want is to bring survival to our brothers when they have lost hope to survive.â
The man in the golden robe said, âThe last thing we should do is to treat a new organization as our enemy! That is our principle!â
Shangguan Lingxiao was sweating heavily. He stood up and lowered his head. âBig Brother, I was wrong.â
The man in the golden robe nodded and said, âWe should watch the Great Ye Army, and be ready to attack at any time. Meanwhile, we should keep an eye on the Monarchâs Hall but just wait⊠We will try to be a friend rather than an enemy to the Monarchâs Hall!â
He spoke slowly, but strongly.
Everybody was thinking and nodding.
âNow, tell me about the Xiao MonarchâŠâ The man in the golden robe smiled and said, âWhere is he now? We must pay attention!â
âThe Matchless Soul Valley!â Shangguan Lingxiao said.
âOh, he has reached the Matchless Soul ValleyâŠâ The man in the golden robe blandly smiled and said, âThat really is quite a barrier for him.â
âIf Monarch Ye can pass three of the nineteen restricted areas, somebody come and tell me.â The man in the golden robe stood up and said, âLingxiao will take charge of the rest. I should go to sleep now. I have used too much of my brain. I got a headache!â
He stood up and directly walked out.
Shangguan Lingxiao bitterly smiled.
âThat is typically my dear Big Brother.â
âIt seems smart to only take care of the important parts.â
âWell, it could also be irresponsible.â
âIf he can be more responsible, I donât need to spend so much time, and I wonât treat everybody as our enemy! I am just worried!â
âThe monster in the Matchless Soul Valley isnât easy to deal withâŠâ Peng Zhuiyun smirked.
âIt is not our problem. What concerns me is the Heavenâs Leaf. Anything?â Shangguan Lingxiao asked.
âNone. The Seven Golden Lotuses arenât moving either. Nobody is showing up.â Somebody answered.
Shangguan Lingxiao frowned and said, âThat is weirdâŠâ
âWell, if nothing happens in the City of Chaos, letâs pay more attention to the Matchless Soul Valley.â Shangguan Lingxiao gave the order.
âIf the Xiao Monarch canât get through the pass, we make no change on the former arrangement. If he passes it, call our brothers in the Matchless Soul Valley back immediately!â
Shangguan Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, âWe want the martial world⊠What does the Xiao Monarch want?â
What did the Xiao Monarch want?
In fact, even Ye Xiao didnât know yet.
âI just have to keep going forward.â
Ye Xiao looked at the clouds and fog over the Matchless Soul Valley. He looked expressionless.
âForward. That is the way to the Matchless Soul Valley.
âI want to go forward⊠I am not sure where I am going. I am sure about one thing thoughâI will kill anybody who dares to stand in my way!
âThere are two options I have when people stand in my way. I will either be cut into pieces or cut the enemy into pieces. I will go to the end of the world!
âNo matter what stops me, I will break through and keep going!
Ye Xiao showed a weird smile. He had a strong will.
The Matchless Soul Valley!
After thousands of feet, Ye Xiao realized that there were no living things in the Matchless Soul Valleyâno plants, no animals, no living beings!
It seemed no souls could live in this place!
âLord Monarch, I might not make a clear explanation. If you only want to get past the nineteen passes, it wouldnât be too difficult!â
The King of Poisons hastily said, âAll you need to do is to keep yourself low. Donât act like the One Meter Higher Sky anymore. As some ordinary people, we can easily get past the passes⊠The nineteen restricted areas wonât just stop everybody⊠After all, this is the only artery that connects the east and the west of the Limitless Ocean.â
Ye Xiao smiled and said, âOh? It turns out to be pretty easy to get past the nineteen passesâŠâ
The King of Poisons was sweating. âAs long as we stay low, we will make it. Well, there is one thing we have to do. Put some money on the rock before the foothill⊠Just a casual amount will buy us safety.â
The King of Poisons was nervous.
The Matchless Soul Valley was one of the nineteen restricted areas in the Limitless Ocean. It existed for such a long time that nobody remembered who the owner of this place was anymore. However, everybody knew that anybody who messed with the owner was killed in the recent one hundred thousand years.
Those who humbly paid the money got past safely. In fact, the rest of the nineteen passes were no difference. All it took was some money to safely get through the passes!
Ye Xiao frowned and said, âWhat? Isnât it a toll?â
In fact, Ye Xiao knew that the King of Poisons was being thoughtful. Nobody was asking for a toll after all, but spending a little money on safety was always a good choice. Fighting against a super-powerful cultivator for a little money was the worst choice. It was stupid.
However, Lord Monarch wasnât willing to accept it.
Since he came to the Human Realm Upon Heavens, he had been through a lot. After Ye Yunduan and Yue Youyou showed up, Ye Xiao had changed. He started to dislike the acknowledged powerful cultivators. He wanted to challenge every one of them. Paying a toll touched his nerve!
âI am not going to pay a toll to somebody who doesnât even show himself, am I?â
âI will fight for my own safety. I donât buy safety!â
Luckily, Ye Xiao had just eaten the supreme dan bead Erhuo made and got a breakthrough after that. He was now at the eighth level of the Saint Origin Stage.
Since the Cane of Void took root in the Boundless Space, the spiritual qi was several times purer than before. That accelerated Ye Xiaoâs improvement. He was improving nonstop all the time.
With a treasure like that, he became more confident. He even had a delusion.
âI can even compete with the five sky kings if they dare to challenge me!â
However, he soon realized it. He was truly impressively experienced as this was his second life.
âIt has been too easy for me to be the One Meter Higher Sky these days. I must have been too arrogant.â
Ye Xiao blandly smiled. âIf I donât make a change when something hit me in the head, I may never be able to get up again. Well, if I am truly invincible, the confidence may enhance meâŠ
âI must have a sober mind, and take a careful adventure.
âIf I can make it, it will be the start of my matchless journey!
âIf I fail, I will learn a lot more to keep my mind sharp. I will get more experience in fighting a top-class cultivator.
âI have overestimated Fang Wudi before. I showed my trump card too early, and that fight didnât teach me anything. It was boring. Now, in the Matchless Soul Valley, any possible fight will be my first practice!â
It seemed he was explaining to the King of Poisons. However, the King of Poisons knew that Ye Xiao said those words to himself because the Lord Monarch didnât need to explain anything to anybody.
He just wanted himself to keep it in mind.
âHe has the Heart of the Strong and an indomitable spirit!â
The King of Poisons thought.
âHe knows there is a powerful man who stares at him fiercely, but he isnât scared. He wonât back off.â
âIf he retreats, his heart becomes imperfect.â
âHe can accept failure!â
âAt least he has tried when he fails. At least he knows how far he is from a really powerful cultivator!â
The King of Poisons looked at Ye Xiao, who was casually walking ahead. He had one thing in his head but didnât dare to tell that to Ye Xiao.
âFailure could be a good thing. That is right. However, what if you die because of the failure? A dead man is a dead man. There is nothing to learn for a dead man!â
He didnât dare to speak it out.
After all, although he wasnât willing to follow the young lord, in the beginning, he respected the young lord now.
He respected Ye Xiao sincerely.
âAt least he has the courage and spirit that I never have.â
