"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
What the Red Flame Emperor never expected was that Yang Qi, as the first practitioner to come here and pass the test, would actually choose this secret method, which was really beyond his expectations. Yang Qi's previous performance made the Red Flame Emperor feel good about him, so he reminded him after Yang Qi made his choice.
"Junior has thought it through." Yang Qi said solemnly.
Hearing this, Emperor Chiyan had no choice but to persuade him any further. He moved his hand, and a stream of light entered Yang Qi's body. It was the inherited memory of that secret technique.
This secret method was called the Hidden Soul Technique by Emperor Chi Yan. It was created by Emperor Chi Yan based on several secret methods of concealing the soul's aura, combined with his own understanding of the soul and the law of cause and effect.
After absorbing the inherited memory, Yang Qi bowed to the Red Flame Emperor in front of him and said, "Thank you, senior."
“Although I don’t know why you chose the Hidden Spirit Technique, this technique does have many unique features in terms of concealment. It’s just that it’s not easy to practice. I hope it helps you.” Emperor Chiyan looked at Yang Qi and said.
Yang Qi nodded. The reason why he chose this secret method was because he saw the effect of isolating the causal induction. Although he himself had some understanding of the causal path, he could not isolate the causal induction. If a strong person tracked him through the causal induction, it would not be difficult.
Looking at the Red Flame Emperor in front of him, Yang Qi hesitated and said, "Senior, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it."
"Are you going to ask why I stole the Fire Wutong?" Emperor Chiyan said in a deep voice.
"good."
Yang Qi nodded. Not only him, but all the Phoenix Clan practitioners in the entire Dark Star Sea were very curious about why the Red Flame Emperor in front of them would steal the Fire Wutong.
And after entering the ruins, Yang Qi became even more curious, because Emperor Chiyan actually intended to return the Fire Wutong on his own initiative, so why did he steal the Fire Wutong
The Red Flame Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said, "The reason why I stole the Fire Wutong is to make further progress."
Going one step further
The second level of the peak of Emperor Martial Arts
Hearing this, Yang Qi was slightly startled. He had never heard that the Fire Wutong could help practitioners to make further progress. If the Fire Wutong had such an effect, even if the Phoenix Clan was protecting the Fire Wutong, the Fire Wutong would probably have become fat meat in the eyes of countless powerful people in the endless universe.
“I also have the blood of the Phoenix Clan in me, so I can be considered a cultivator of the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline.” Emperor Chiyan said in a deep voice.
What
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at the Red Flame Emperor in front of him with disbelief. It turned out that the Red Flame Emperor was also a cultivator of the Phoenix bloodline
This was definitely subversive news, because the Phoenix Clan had been investigating for so many years, but still didn't know about this matter, and had never thought that the mysterious practitioner who stole the Fire Wutong actually had Phoenix blood and was a bloodline practitioner!
"The Fire Wutong and the Phoenix Clan complement each other. After I reached the peak of the Martial Emperor, I hit a bottleneck. I knew that the Fire Wutong could help the Phoenix Clan practice, so I paid attention to the Fire Wutong and even studied a lot of Fire Wutong for this purpose." Emperor Chiyan paused here, and then continued, "Later, I discovered that there are differences between Fire Wutong. If I want to find a Fire Wutong that can help the peak level of the Martial Emperor, it must be a Fire Wutong from a branch that has given birth to a peak Martial Emperor. That's why I came to the Dark Star Sea to steal the Phoenix Clan's Fire Wutong."
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but nodded. The Fire Wutong and the Phoenix Clan complement each other. The Phoenix Clan can help the Fire Wutong grow, and the Fire Wutong can help the Phoenix Clan reproduce and thrive.
The Red Flame Emperor in front of him, who has the blood of the Phoenix clan, is understandably targeting Huo Wutong.
"So, senior, did you succeed in the end?" Yang Qi asked curiously.
"No."
Emperor Chiyan shook his head slightly and sighed, "After I stole the Fire Wutong from the Phoenix Clan, I hid in a dark place to study it. Although I made some gains, I still couldn't make any further progress."
The first and second levels of the Martial Emperor Peak are both Martial Emperor Peak, but the gap between them is huge, even compared to the gap between ordinary Emperors and Martial Emperor Peak, it may not be smaller. Therefore, it is definitely not an easy task to step into the second level of the Martial Emperor Peak from the first level of the Martial Emperor Peak.
“Although the initial research did not allow me to make further progress, it did allow me to successfully awaken the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline. Unfortunately, simply awakening the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline is no longer of any help to me, who is at the peak of the Martial Emperor.” There was a hint of helplessness in the tone of Emperor Chiyan.
Awakening the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline can further enhance the potential of a practitioner, but it also depends on the level of the practitioner. Simply awakening the bloodline is not very helpful for mid- to high-level Martial Emperors, let alone those at the peak of the Martial Emperor level.
This is just like a cultivator's enlightenment. If one comprehends one more Dao to the ultimate level of perfection, his strength will indeed increase. However, when he reaches a certain level, those masters of the alien universe who have lived for countless years have comprehended countless Daos, but their strength is still only at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor.
When quantitative change reaches a certain level and before causing qualitative change, the help brought by quantitative change alone is already minimal!
“It was not until then that I realized that the Fire Wutong was no longer of any help to me, so I left this relic. In addition to returning the Fire Wutong, I also hope to make the path of the Phoenix bloodline practitioners easier.” Emperor Chiyan spoke again.
The reason why the Red Flame Emperor restricted the entry of the ruins to only bloodline practitioners was to give the credit for retrieving the Fire Wutong to the bloodline practitioners. Some of the tests he left behind also involved the power of bloodline, and even the last opportunities left were to help bloodline practitioners to obtain the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix. All of this was the Red Flame Emperor paving the way for bloodline practitioners!
After hearing what the Red Flame Emperor said, combined with his previous experience in the ruins, Yang Qi knew that the Red Flame Emperor in front of him was not lying, but the result was somewhat unexpected.
The one who stole the Fire Wutong was a bloodline cultivator, and the one who retrieved the Fire Wutong was also a bloodline cultivator. Even the opportunities left by the Red Flame Emperor were to help bloodline cultivators. Who could have imagined such a thing if they hadn't heard it with their own ears
No wonder the Phoenix clan has not gained anything after so many years of investigation. It's not that the Phoenix clan's investigation was not strong enough, but that the direction of the investigation was wrong from the beginning.
Although the Phoenix Clan had many suspicions, they had never thought that the one who stole the Fire Wutong would be a bloodline cultivator.
Although he understood the motive and purpose of Emperor Chiyan stealing the Fire Wutong, Yang Qi was still somewhat puzzled and asked, "Since you want to return the Fire Wutong, why did you wait until now?"
