For a strong man at the level of Martial Emperor, it is very common to spend millions or even tens of millions of years looking for a successor. If Emperor Haoyang had not died accidentally, it would have been impossible for him to send his inheritance into the time and space channel to find a destined person as his successor.
It was pure luck that Yang Qi was able to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Haoyang. Otherwise, let alone someone who had never been exposed to cultivation, even a genius in the realm of Martial King might not be able to gain the favor of a powerful Martial Emperor.
“Although it is very difficult to obtain the complete inheritance, even if you only obtain part of the inheritance or even get a little inspiration, it will be of great help to sword practitioners.” The Magic Emperor sighed and looked at Yang Qi and said, “The opportunity left by the sword master is of great attraction to any sword practitioner. I hope you can gain something by then!”
Emperor Huan had seen the opportunity left by that powerful man, and he knew what that opportunity represented. He was even more aware of the huge gap between himself and that powerful man, so he not only did not stop Yang Qi, whom he was optimistic about, but also hoped that Yang Qi could gain something.
"I hope it's as you said." Yang Qi smiled bitterly.
Just from the experiences of Emperor Huan and Emperor Wanjian, he already knew that the opportunity left by that powerful man was difficult to obtain. Although he would definitely try his best here, who wouldn't want to really get the opportunity
"I have been dead for who knows how many years, and I am unable to truly guide you in your practice. It is up to you to decide how to proceed on the path of the Illusion Sword." The Illusion Emperor looked at Yang Qi and said.
The Illusionary Emperor did have his own inheritance in the Tianhuang Palace, but Yang Qi was not a practitioner of the Tianhuang Holy Land, so it was impossible for him to stay and practice. As for the Endless Universe, although he also left a legacy, the Endless Universe was too vast, and the possibility that his legacy was near the star field where Yang Qi was was almost zero.
Therefore, if Yang Qi wanted to go further in the way of the Phantom Sword, he could only rely on the inheritance left by the Phantom Emperor, and then continue to explore and practice on his own. In this way, the difficulty of practice would undoubtedly be much greater.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then bid farewell to Emperor Huan, who then sent him out of the cave.
Wow~
Yang Qi's figure appeared in the starry sky, and the cave in front of him disappeared again. If one was not a cultivator with keen perception or a certain understanding of space and time, one would not be able to detect the abnormality of the surrounding space and time.
Buzz~
Yang Qi's mind moved, and a palm-sized ancient tower appeared in his hand. This ancient tower was exactly the defensive Taoist weapon given to him by the Phantom Emperor, and it was a top-grade defensive Taoist weapon!
Although Yang Qi's own defensive means are already very powerful and his body is also extremely strong, but with the ancient tower with even stronger defense, Yang Qi decided to refine the ancient tower as soon as possible to enhance his own life-saving means.
"Phantom Golden Tower!"
After recognizing the ancient tower as its master, Yang Qi knew that this tower was called the Phantom Gold Tower, and it was a treasure that the Phantom Emperor obtained in a secret realm when he was traveling in the endless universe.
This Phantom Gold Tower has unparalleled defense. If one directly activates the tower to cover itself, relying solely on the material of the Phantom Gold Tower itself, it can withstand full-strength attacks from those below the Martial Emperor Realm.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Although it has already recognized the master, it will still take some time to completely refine it."
The Magic Gold Tower is a defensive Daoist weapon of the upper-grade Daoist level. Even with Yang Qi's current state, it would take some time to refine it. It should be noted that upper-grade Daoist weapons are extremely precious. A martial emperor with a lower foundation may only have this level of defensive Daoist weapons!
Next, Yang Qi continued to rush towards the depths of the starry sky. At the same time, he informed Chen Jie and others of the news he had learned from the Phantom Emperor. No matter which direction they rushed, they would eventually converge together.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Qi and his companions had entered the core area for several years. During these years, Yang Qi and his companions had gained something. However, not all the opportunities they encountered were suitable for them, but overall, the gains of each practitioner were greater than going to the inheritance place of the Source Saint Sect once.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the starry sky, two figures kept flashing, and fierce attacks burst out from the hands of the two figures. However, the attacks of the two figures did not collide with each other, but combined with each other to form a more fierce means of attack.
Yang Qi's mind moved, and the clone not far away stopped. He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Now I have finally barely entered the realm of the Illusion Sword Dao."
During these years, Yang Qi was on his way while comprehending the Illusion Sword Dao. The real Illusion Sword Dao was not just the three moves that the energy body used when fighting with Yang Qi. That was just the simplest and most basic application of the Illusion Sword Dao. It was even a bit far-fetched to call it the Illusion Sword Dao. It could only be regarded as a simulated Illusion Sword Dao method.
Although it is just a simulated method, it is very similar to the methods of Phantom Sword. Therefore, it was improved by the Phantom Emperor and used as a test of Phantom Sword.
During this period, although Yang Qi's cultivation did not improve, his strength has improved significantly by combining the Phantom Sword and Shadow Clone. According to Yang Qi's own estimation, his current strength should barely be close to the level of a two-star Martial Emperor.
"Unfortunately, the clone's power is limited. Otherwise, if the clone is combined with the Illusion Sword Technique, the power it unleashes will definitely be stronger." Yang Qi sighed lightly.
The methods of Phantom Sword are very suitable for Shadow Clone, but due to the strength of Shadow Clone itself, it is unable to fully utilize the methods of Phantom Sword.
“The threshold for practicing the Illusion Sword Dao is high. Once you cross the threshold, it is very easy to get started. However, if you want to practice to a high level, it relies too much on the achievements of the soul.” Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
Although the Phantom Sword Dao is called the Phantom Sword Dao by the Phantom Emperor, it would not be wrong to call it a means of cultivating the soul. It relies too much on the soul. This is why the Phantom Emperor was very helpless when he mentioned that he had not yet cultivated to the extreme, because the path he chose was too difficult to follow.
"The Illusion Sword Dao can be used as a means to create a clone of the Dao, but it is not suitable as my main path!" Yang Qi muttered to himself.
Countless predecessors in the cultivation world have given the answer to how difficult the path of the soul is. Therefore, there is a saying in the cultivation world that one is good at the path of the soul, but there is no saying that one majors in the path of the soul, because this path is destined to be a path that cannot lead to the ultimate!
If you cannot reach the extreme, you cannot reach the pinnacle of Martial Emperor. The Phantom Emperor can become the pinnacle of Martial Emperor, but it is not achieved by relying on the soul to reach the extreme.
For ordinary practitioners, there may not be much difference, but for practitioners who hope to reach the peak of the Martial Emperor, the road that cannot reach the peak of the Martial Emperor is a dead end! And the path of the soul is like this! (To be continued)
