Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Who is this guy? He’s only at the Mortal Rank?"

"I guess he was brought to the Three Thousand Great Realms by a Spirit Rank Martial Artist from a low-level plane."

"The Three Thousand Great Realms are populated with diverse species. Besides the Human Clan, there are other species too. That boy who rushed into the fifteenth place earlier is clearly an Exotic Beast, and a very powerful kind of it. What makes this Mortal Rank Martial Artist so special that such a powerful Exotic Beast is willing to acknowledge him as its master?"

"Haha, haven’t you heard what the Exotic Beast said? This Mortal Rank Martial Artist could appear on the Initial Spirit List and might even make it into the top ten."

"I have been in Xingluo City for a thousand years and have seen many geniuses from low-level planes who boast arrogantly when they come to the Three Thousand Great Realms, yet they can’t even make it into the top hundred thousand during the Initial Spirit Test."

"Haha, he’s only Mortal Rank; he can’t take part in the Initial Spirit Test. Naturally, he can say whatever he wants."

...

Countless eyes fell upon Xiao Ye. Upon realizing he was only at the Mortal Rank, the atmosphere became chaotic. Some were surprised, while others sneered, creating discordant voices.

In the Three Thousand Great Realms, Exotic Beasts are a collective term for various beasts. Some break through from low-level planes, and others are born within the Three Thousand Great Realms. The variety of Exotic Beasts is vast, far surpassing the Ferocious Beasts of the True Spirit Continent, with many species that are even larger than the Human Clan.

The powerful Exotic Beasts devour Heaven and Earth, and the destruction of Star Domains is a mere trifle.

There were once strong individuals from the Human Clan who subdued powerful Exotic Beasts.

The results of Little White’s Initial Spirit Test were terrifying, breaking Xingluo City’s records of a hundred or even a thousand years, completely overshadowing the Human Race Four Emperors.

Now calling a Mortal Rank Martial Artist their boss, naturally, many people couldn’t accept it.

"Are there such conditions?"

There were five figures in mid-air, wearing exquisite and luxurious robes, strong individuals from Xingluo City.

They glanced at Xiao Ye, their brows slightly furrowed.

"Fine, we agree to your conditions. This person can join Xingluo City with you and receive a Spirit Rank Cultivation Method." One elderly white-haired woman spoke.

Little White’s Initial Spirit Test results were too terrifying.

Whether Little White’s words were true or not, even if Xiao Ye was worthless, he was still worth it for Little White’s sake.

After all, they in Xingluo City also needed cannon fodder.

"Xingluo City’s Lord actually agreed?"

"This guy really is lucky, depending on his Exotic Beast, to receive a Spirit Rank Cultivation Method."

...

With these words, everyone around was dumbfounded, their eyes flashing with jealousy.

A hint of a smile passed through Murong Xian’s eyes.

Xiao Ye’s strength was undeniable. Once he crossed into the Spirit Rank, he would certainly rank in the top ten of the Initial Spirit Test; joining Xingluo City was merely a matter of time.

For her, being able to join Xingluo City alongside Xiao Ye was naturally a good thing.

On the road for these past two years, unbeknownst to her, she had developed a great fondness for this young man.

"Haha, Xiao Ye, we can enter Xingluo City together." The Human Race Four Emperors flew over, their faces full of smiles.

"Hmph, do you truly think that just anyone can join our Xingluo City?"

At this moment, a cold snort suddenly broke the atmosphere, causing the five strong individuals from Xingluo City to tremble and lower their heads toward the direction of the voice.

Xiao Ye slightly narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.

He saw government soldiers clad in Starlight Armor making way, surrounding a commanding figure with dual horns on his head, who walked toward them with overwhelming force and energy, scanning the crowd with sharp eyes, causing the souls of the newly spirit-ranked Human Race Four Emperors to tremble.

"Oh my, it’s the Young City Lord!"

"Xingluo City’s Young City Lord, Luo Xie, who was said to be only a Mortal Rank Martial Artist 500 years ago, was taken in as the adopted son of the Star Luo City Lord, and his Realm has been steadily advancing. He is now at the Earth Spirit Realm level of the Spirit Rank Third Realm. Even in the Blue Demon Domain, he’s quite an extraordinary genius, a candidate to succeed as the next City Lord."

"I didn’t expect the Young City Lord to show up."

...

The moment this figure was seen, the scene instantly boiled over.

"This Xingluo City’s Young City Lord... so strong!" Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted as well.

For the Spirit Rank, if the Human Race Four Emperors were a surging river, then the Xingluo City Young City Lord, Luo Xie, was an unfathomable ocean, completely different from the Spirit Rank Martial Artists he had seen before.

Hshh hshh hshh!

Luo Xie’s dual horns on his head and towering stature, along with sharp eyes, focused on Xiao Ye.

"Such Exotic Beast, serving you as its master, is truly a waste."

"I’m giving you a chance: dissolve the Soul Contract with this Exotic Beast, and I can grant you a Spirit Rank Cultivation Method, allowing you to step into the sky."

Luo Xie transmitted his voice coldly from his high position.

"Soul Contract?" Xiao Ye slightly hesitated upon hearing this, then understood.

It turned out the Young City Lord was targeting Little White.

"Young City Lord, do you think that it’s because of a Soul Contract from the Three Thousand Great Realms that I’ve bound Little White, making it serve me as its master?" Xiao Ye calmly replied.

"Otherwise, how could you, a mere Mortal Rank ant, make an Exotic Beast acknowledge you as its master?" Luo Xie sneered.

"Didn’t you come to the Three Thousand Great Realms from a low-level plane for the Spirit Rank Cultivation Method? I can grant it to you; what more dissatisfaction do you have?"

"In contrast, if you don’t agree, not only Xingluo City but even the surrounding Ancient Cities wouldn’t dare accept you."

"Because I have the power to blacklist you in the Blue Demon Star Domain, controlling your future." Luo Xie continued.

"Sigh, apparently in the Three Thousand Great Realms, there are many brainless people."

Xiao Ye sighed helplessly, shaking his head internally, unwilling to engage with this so-called Young City Lord further, instead joining the Human Race Four Emperors and Little White.

Regarding Luo Xie’s supposed blacklisting, he was entirely unconcerned.

In the group, six people had passed the Initial Spirit Test and could enter Xingluo City to obtain a Spirit Rank Cultivation Method; this was a great opportunity.

"Boss Xiao Ye, where are you going?" Unaware of the earlier exchange between Xiao Ye and Luo Xie, Little White asked, full of confusion.

"Find a place to transcend the Emperor Tribulation, then participate in the Initial Spirit Test." Xiao Ye calmly tossed out a remark and disappeared from the plaza, leaving Little White and the Human Race Four Emperors momentarily stunned, then excited.

Xiao Ye...

Is finally going to become a Fusion Emperor?

"It seems this low-level plane’s scum still doesn’t understand my energy."

"If I weren’t afraid of a fish breaking the net and directly breaking the Soul Contract, killing this Exotic Beast, I would never let him go."

Luo Xie watched Xiao Ye’s departing figure, malice clouding his face.

"Send his portrait to the surrounding Ancient Cities; don’t let him enter, nor teach him the Spirit Rank Cultivation Method."

"I want him to crawl back begging, obediently dissolving the Soul Contract." Luo Xie coldly instructed the government soldiers beside him.
