Soul Emperor Martial God

Holy Moon Sect, at the end of the space.

Xiao Yi stopped his figure.

Behind him, Yiyi finally caught up.

"Young Master." Yiyi pursed her lips.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I originally didn’t want to say even half a word of farewell, so I wouldn’t feel reluctance."

"You’ve followed me here now, is it because you don’t want to stay in the Holy Moon Sect?"

Xiao Yi said seriously, "If you don’t wish to, I will never force you, you can follow me to continue training."

"Hmm." Yiyi shook her head.

Xiao Yi smiled, "Don’t make things difficult for yourself, and don’t mind me."

"As long as you don’t wish to, I’ll allow you."

"A year and a half ago, when I took you away from here, I said that I would never let you step into this place again."

"If you don’t want to, it’s normal."

Yiyi obediently shook her head, her eyebrows curved, and she chuckled lightly, "This time is different."

"This time, the young master asked me to come, and Yiyi is willing."

"Young Master said before that the Holy Moon Sect seemed like a cage."

"But in Yiyi’s view, that’s because only Yiyi was here before."

"Now the young master is here with Yiyi, so it’s not a cage. It’s a place Yiyi is willing to stay and wait, and it’s also a good place."

Xiao Yi smiled, "You little girl, you sure know how to coax your young master."

"Alright then." Xiao Yi shook his head, "As long as you are willing."

While speaking, Xiao Yi took out a Jade Pendant and said, "This is a Protective Item given to me by the Asura Hall Master, and now I give it to you."

"If you are unwilling to stay in the Holy Moon Sect, you can crush the Jade Pendant, and the Asura Hall Master will know."

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, "Actually, I would prefer to give you a Jade Pendant condensed with my own energy."

"But at my level of Cultivation, I don’t have that ability, nor can I sense the safety of the Jade Pendant thousands of miles away."

Yiyi was about to refuse.

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Just keep it, I have plenty of Protective Items, this one won’t matter."

"Alright, go back." Xiao Yi said, "I will go train, quickly in July, slowly by August, I will definitely be back."

"Hmm." Yiyi obediently nodded, "Yiyi will wait for the young master."

Xiao Yi smiled, patted Yiyi’s head, smoothed her silky hair, and with a flash of his figure, he left.

In place, Yiyi was full of reluctance, and called out lost, "Young Master."

However, Xiao Yi had already disappeared, leaving this Outer World.

...

Holy Moon Hall, rear hall.

The woman sat sternly on the sect master throne.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yiyi looked at the woman, her face pale, yet with complex emotions.

The woman treated her both as a master and as a mother.

Although Yiyi was best suited to experience the colorful world in her youthful years, her beautiful times were forcibly taken by the Saint Lord.

But at the same time, she spent those youthful years and beautiful days with the woman.

Such feelings cannot be easily erased.

"What? You don’t even call me master now?" The woman’s face no longer bore any majesty, only a weary expression as she spoke.

"No." Yiyi hurriedly shook her head.

The woman seeing this, showed a pleased expression, knowing well of Yiyi’s character, hence her prior words.

But Yiyi, stammering, said, "Yiyi just doesn’t know what to say."

"No need to say anything." The woman shook her head, "Your return to reside in the Holy Moon Sect is a good thing."

"In the Holy Heart Hall, I’ve had it cleaned and tidied daily, just like before."

Yiyi shook her head, "I don’t want to return to the Holy Heart Hall."

"Hmm?" The woman’s eyebrows frowned, "Then where do you want to go? Leave again?"

Yiyi shook her head, "I want..."

"Want what?" The woman’s frown deepened.

Yiyi tugged at the corner of her garment and, after a while, summoned the courage to say, "I want to cultivate."

The woman was taken aback, then quickly reacted, her face delighting, "You’re saying you want to cultivate and want to stay in the Holy Moon Hall in the future?"

"Hmm." Yiyi nervously nodded.

"Wonderful." The woman sprang up from the sect master throne, "Good, very good."

"More than ten years have passed, and this is the first time you’ve proactively said you want to cultivate."

"Good, good, good, very good."

The woman unconsciously uttered ’good’ several times.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly want to cultivate?" the woman asked.

Yiyi earnestly said, "I want to become strong."

"How strong?" The woman pursued.

"Very strong, very strong." Yiyi replied.

"Exactly how strong?" The woman smiled.

Yiyi stammered for a moment, then said, "As strong as the Great Elder."

The woman’s face stiffened, "Be more confident."

Yiyi said, "Stronger than the Great Elder."

The woman’s tone became stern and scolded, "Even more confident."

Yiyi gathered her courage, her face flushed, and loudly said, "Stronger than Master."

"Good, very good." The woman nodded with satisfaction, "Hahaha."

"Ten years, no, more than ten years."

"Yiyi, you’ve finally developed your own aspiration to become a strong person."

"As long as you are willing, I will do everything for you."

"After today, you will make all the Heavenly Talents and Monsters in this world ashamed."

"After today, you’ll truly step onto your own path to becoming strong."

"Tell me." The woman shouted, "Where does this aspiration to be strong come from?"

The pallor on the woman’s face suddenly disappeared, replaced with radiance.

She couldn’t remember how many years it had been since she was so joyous.

That young man, today not only sent back her successor but also brought back hope for her Holy Moon Sect.

Yiyi had already mustered her courage, and now spoke without hesitation, "I want to protect the young master."

"Good, very good..." The woman instinctively said, and the next moment, her smile suddenly froze, her face twitched.

But the change in expression vanished in an instant.

She knew well that Yiyi’s aspiration to be strong must not be affected in the slightest.

The woman earnestly said, "Regardless of the reason, remember to preserve this aspiration to be strong."

"In half a year, I will make the world shake because of you."

...

Elsewhere.

Xiao Yi had left that section of the Outer World in the Holy Moon Sect.

Next, he planned to go to the Ice Emperor Palace.

"Hu." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly, his face no longer with the usual calm, indifferent demeanor, but only complex emotions.

In fact, those few harsh words he left in front of the Saint Lord, though appearing casual, were truly far from easy.

In just over half a year, it will be the day of change.

He needs to be stronger.

The road ahead, clearer to him than anyone, will surely be incomparably difficult.

This path, he can’t even see the front.

All he can do is to keep walking, ceaselessly.

This treacherous path, he doesn’t wish to bring Yiyi along, only intending to walk it alone.

Whether he can fulfill the promise he made before leaving, he doesn’t know.

Somewhere along this path, whether he will have a life remains an unknown.

This impending change is something even the Eight Palaces cannot control, let alone Xiao Yi?

This promise is the one he has never been so uncertain about fulfilling.

"Strength." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.

"You’ve experienced a cage but haven’t seen enough of this wonderful world; how can this world become a Purgatory?"

Clang...

A crisp sword chime sounded as the Purple Lightning Divine Sword broke through the sky.

Xiao Yi tread on the sword, his speed skyrocketing.

"Purple Lightning, increase the speed."

Buzz... The sword body buzzed as if asking Xiao Yi for direction.

"Northern end, Endless Snow Mountain."

...
