Chapter 419: Martial Saint? Within Easy Reach

Chapter 419: Chapter 420: Martial Saint? Within Easy Reach

Sure enough, they walked for quite a while longer without seeing anyone particularly strong.

Baili Canon relaxed slightly.

‘It seems Su Mo’s method for creating Martial Emperors does have its limits. He can only create two Martial Emperors at a time within a certain period.’

Even so, it was already terrifying enough.

After all, their Baili Race was a clan with a ten-thousand-year history, yet they only possessed three Martial Emperors at once.

But just then…

A Spirit Body suddenly appeared in the courtyard, saying lazily, “Master, where did all this trash come from?”

Trash?

In an instant, everyone from the Baili Race was furious.

How could he insult them so openly?

Even Baili Canon couldn’t help but show a flicker of anger on his face, but he forcefully suppressed it, not daring to let it erupt.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Su Mo rebuked, his face dark.

The Drunken Sword Spirit retorted impolitely, “I’m not talking nonsense. Even though there are three Martial Emperors among them, they’re all trash in front of you, Master.”

“Damn it, you won’t even listen to me?”

Su Mo said, his anger simmering.

The Drunken Sword Spirit said with a placating smile, “Calm down, Master. I didn’t mean to disobey you. I just wanted to tell you about my cultivation results from the past few days.”

“Cultivation results? Fine, show me.”

Su Mo ordered.

“Yes!”

The Drunken Sword Spirit complied. Its Spirit Body trembled slightly, unleashing a terrifying Emperor’s Might.

This Emperor’s Might was even greater than that of Zhuge Su and the Second Elder, making everyone present feel as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Su Mo said in surprise, “You… you’ve reached the Martial Emperor Realm?”

“I have!”

The Drunken Sword Spirit said excitedly, “I promised you back in Emperor Heaven Valley, Master, that I would reach the Martial Emperor Realm sooner or later. However…”

Su Mo thought back. ‘That’s right, he did say that.’

Back then, the Drunken Sword Spirit had consumed most of its Spiritual Qi and had fallen from the Half-Step Martial Emperor Realm to Martial Emperor Great Perfection.

Now, not only had this fellow recovered, but he had also grown stronger.

“However what?”

Su Mo asked curiously.

The Drunken Sword Spirit said excitedly, “However, I thought I would only be able to reach the Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm back then. I never expected that I’d actually reach the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm now.”

“Late Stage Martial Emperor?”

Su Mo sized up the Drunken Sword Spirit in astonishment, confirming that it had indeed reached the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm.

At this moment, Baili Canon, who was standing to the side, frowned.

He was a little puzzled.

As far as he knew, it had only been a little over ten days since Emperor Heaven Valley had opened.

‘The Drunken Sword Spirit broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm in such a short time?’

Wasn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?

Baili Canon couldn’t help but ask, “What was your realm before?”

“Half-Step Martial Emperor, I guess!”

the Drunken Sword Spirit replied.

“What?”

Baili Canon exclaimed in shock.

‘Breaking through from Half-Step Martial Emperor to Late Stage Martial Emperor in just over ten days? That’s even more outrageous than Zhuge Su and the Second Elder!’

‘After all, the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of breaking through.’

Who would have thought that the Drunken Sword Spirit would then sigh and say, “Although I was a Half-Step Martial Emperor at my peak, when I came out of Emperor Heaven Valley, I was only at Martial Emperor Great Perfection.”

“Martial Emperor Great Perfection… Are you sure you’re not lying to me?”

Baili Canon asked, his eyes wide.

‘Going from Half-Step Martial Emperor to Late Stage Martial Emperor was already exaggerated enough, but this is even more so.’

‘Damn it, who would believe such a blatant lie?’

The Drunken Sword Spirit said disdainfully, “Lie to you? Heh, what good would lying to you do me? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re not worthy of me lying to you.”

Baili Canon’s old face stiffened.

‘The Drunken Sword Spirit really has no reason to lie to him.’

‘But this is just too absurd.’

‘Even a monster couldn’t pull off something so ridiculous.’

The Drunken Sword Spirit continued, “To tell you the truth, it won’t be long before I reach Martial Emperor Great Perfection, or even become a Martial Saint.”

“This…”

Baili Canon stumbled back several steps in shock.

He, who had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm a hundred years ago, had expended countless efforts and had only just managed to reach the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm.

And yet, the Drunken Sword Spirit claimed it wouldn’t be long before it became a Martial Saint?

‘Damn it all!’

‘You think it’s fun to mess with me, don’t you!’

However, Su Mo’s expression was calm, not surprised in the slightest.

‘With the support of a Pseudo-God Level Earth Vein, it would be a true waste if the Drunken Sword Spirit *couldn’t* reach the Martial Saint Realm.’

The Drunken Sword Spirit was a Spirit Body.

As long as it had enough Spiritual Qi, it could continuously absorb it to grow stronger. Reaching the Half-Step Martial Saint Realm was only a matter of time.

A Martial Saint?

Heh!

‘With the support of the Pseudo-God Level Golden Dragon Earth Vein, becoming a Martial Saint is easily within reach.’

The Drunken Sword Spirit said disdainfully, “Forget it. I’m done talking to you mortals. Elder Su, I’m going to cultivate.”

“Mm, go ahead.”

Su Mo said calmly.

“Yes!”

The Drunken Sword Spirit submerged back into the ground to cultivate, disappearing as if it had never been there.

Su Mo said with a placating smile, “My apologies, Elder Baili. That fellow is a ten-thousand-year-old Martial Emperor’s Residual Soul that I brought back from Emperor Heaven Valley. It’s usually very arrogant and didn’t mean to target you specifically. Please forgive the offense.”

“It’s no matter!”

Baili Canon quickly waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn’t take it to heart.

Because he wasn’t qualified to take it to heart.

Although the Drunken Sword Spirit was arrogant, it was a genuine Late Stage Martial Emperor. Relying on Qingyang City’s Earth Vein, it was only stronger than him, not weaker.

SHING!

Just then, a sky-shattering beam of sword light suddenly shot up in the distance.

The sword light pierced through the clouds.

Baili Canon asked in surprise, “Who is this expert?”

“That’s the training grounds!”

Su Mo looked in the direction where the sword light had risen.

Baili Canon asked curiously, “The training grounds? Is some master instructing his disciples? Could you take us to meet them in person?”

“This…”

Su Mo hesitated.

As far as he knew, all the experts in his household were in seclusion, refining the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he had brought back to increase their strength. No one was at the training grounds.

‘That Sword Qi just now must have been unleashed by one of the disciples.’

Baili Canon thought Su Mo was afraid they would see the Xiao Alliance’s secrets, so he quickly apologized, “My apologies, I was being rash. But I can guarantee on my life that I have absolutely no intention of prying into your secrets.”

Su Mo shook his head.

The Nine Dragon Invincible Technique that everyone on the training grounds was practicing was a simplified version; it wasn’t much of a secret.

Because the true Nine Dragon Invincible Technique was held by Su Mo alone.

“I’m not afraid of you looking. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Su Mo explained.

Baili Canon asked, confused, “Disappointed? We just want to witness that expert’s heroic bearing with our own eyes. What’s there to be disappointed about?”

“Since you’re not afraid of being disappointed, I’ll take you there.”

Su Mo led the group toward the training grounds.

After they arrived at the training grounds, everyone gathered around in pleasant surprise.

“Elder Su is here!”

“Elder Su, are you here to guide us? This is wonderful!”

the disciples said excitedly.

To be personally guided by Su Mo was a tremendous honor.

One disciple even started crying in public.

Su Mo looked at the crying disciple in white and asked, “Hey, what are you crying for?”

“Yeah, what are you crying for?”

“You should be happy that Elder Su is here to guide us personally! What the hell are you crying for?!”

“Hurry up and wipe those tears, or I’m gonna get mad at you.”
