I really became a king.

Chapter 236 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Jiang Yi heaved a sigh of relief only after he felt that the figure was not chasing him. He still did not show any carelessness and first found a hidden valley. He took Stepping Cloud back to the Mountain and Water Martial Realm.

Then he practiced the "Nine Nines Return to One Secret", making many twists and turns, and finally, for the sake of safety, he restored his original appearance.

Then he made many detours until he was sure that the other party was not chasing him. Only then did he feel completely at ease and stopped in a dense forest at the foot of a mountain.

"He is actually a master of the eighth level of martial arts!"

Jiang Yi felt a little scared. Fortunately, he had just subdued Tayun. If the other party really caught up with him, it would be difficult to escape. He might have to use his last trump card.

Among the nine realms of martial arts, the seventh realm is a watershed.

Once you enter the seventh realm, you will become a truly powerful warrior. Even when fighting with all your strength, you don't need to show your martial arts.

After all, there are countless opportunities in the world, and everyone has secrets. If a martial artist shows off his secrets, it is easy for others to see through his secrets, unless one is like Jiang Yi, who has a golden man to control him and can hide freely.

Since it is a watershed, the combat power of the seventh realm is far from comparable to that of the sixth realm, and they are not even on the same level at all.

In a sense, only by breaking through the seventh level can one truly reach the threshold of martial arts.

Because in the seventh realm, warriors will awaken their martial souls. The martial soul can be flowers, plants, trees, swords, spears, or even a river or a lake. In short, the martial soul can be everything.

Everyone's martial soul is very mysterious and is also their biggest secret. It is never shown to others easily and is only used in life-and-death situations. It is usually kept with the martial minister and carefully hidden.

For example, Lin Yizi, Tian Buyi and Su Qingfeng, three people under Jiang Yi's command, are at the seventh level of martial arts, but no one knows what their martial spirits are. As for Fulong, Jiang Yi still doesn't know what the other party's martial spirit is.

Jiang Yi had never deliberately asked about it. After all, this was every warrior's biggest trump card and the most fundamental foundation.

"I wonder what my martial soul will be?" Jiang Yi was a little expectant.

However, the martial soul does not possess great power once it awakens, but needs to be cultivated slowly, requiring the consumption of countless various cultivation resources.

Moreover, the more powerful the martial soul, the higher the quality of the resources it consumes. Even some extraordinary martial souls need to be nurtured with natural treasures every time they advance and grow.

For ordinary warriors with no foundation or background, even ordinary training resources are an unimaginably large amount, not to mention those high-grade martial spirits that need to be nurtured with all kinds of natural treasures.

This also leads to some warriors with shallow background and foundation, even if they have cultivated to the eighth level of martial arts, their martial souls are still in the initial state when they just awakened, because they simply do not have enough resources to grow and advance.

Especially for high-grade martial spirits that need to consume all kinds of natural treasures to grow, the difficulty is even greater.

However, all warriors still hope that the quality of their awakened martial souls is as high as possible, even if they can only stay in the initial state when they awaken for the rest of their lives.

Because the higher the grade of the martial soul, the greater the blessing on the warrior's strength. Even in the initial state, it is a qualitative improvement, and even some kind of heaven-defying talent will be obtained.

For example, Mu Bai, the Star-Picking Hand who traveled across the four great dynasties and the foreign tribes on the border and was spurned and hunted by countless forces, became the number one thief in the entire Wild Continent by relying on the ability of his martial soul to teleport at will and not be bound by ordinary restrictions.

He wandered around the treasure houses of various major forces all day long, and took away countless rare treasures.

However, according to rumors, the materials needed for the growth and advancement of Star-Picking Hand Mu Bai's martial soul are so unique that they far exceed the scope of ordinary treasures, and it is still only in its initial state when it awakens.

But even so, countless forces are still helpless.

Jiang Yi put away his thoughts and was just about to study how to use the map he had just obtained when a wave of aura suddenly came from the mountain next to him. Although it was only a flash, Jiang Yi still noticed it. Is there anyone? Jiang Yi frowned. According to the information provided by Chang Xiangdao, this Yinshan secret realm is very large. Unless a treasure is unearthed, it will not attract people from the nearby area.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for strangers to have the opportunity to meet each other, which is why Zhou Buchang and the other two gained confidence.

But ever since he entered the Yinshan Secret Realm, first it was Yin Fa, then Baiyue Li Yuan and his group, and now he has met another one. The probability is too high.

Without hesitation, he practiced the Return to Oneness Technique and sneaked towards the peak of the mountain.

Since there are people here, it is possible that they have encountered some opportunity, so we might as well fight for it.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Yi remembered something and restored his Wind and Thunder Sword Master's appearance, and summoned Stepping Cloud. The man and the beast hid their auras and flew to the top of the mountain.

When he saw that figure, Jiang Yi was delighted. It was true that enemies often meet on a narrow road.

Not far from the foot of the mountain, a man with a shifty look was standing next to a fist-sized hole, looking excitedly at a thumb-sized stone in the hole. One of his hands was holding a bronze mask. He was the foreign tribe from the border who led Li Yuan and his party to him.

The mask in his hand was the one he wore when he was trying to divert the attention of others, but perhaps because he was too excited, he took it off and revealed his true face.

Since he was not discovered for the time being, Jiang Yi was not in a hurry to show up. He just floated in the air behind the other party and watched silently.

If he guessed correctly, the thumb-sized stone in the pit should be a good treasure, otherwise the other party would not be so excited.

"Haha, my little Star Picker Huo Si is really lucky. Although I lost the stolen map, I didn't expect to get this treasure now..."

The shifty-looking frontier alien first muttered to himself for a while, then remembered something and immediately fell silent. He sensed that there was nothing unusual around him and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, I have to stop talking to myself from now on. Otherwise, if I talk nonsense one day and someone hears me, my true identity will be exposed." He muttered softly and then casually put the mask on his face.

Perhaps he thought of the consequences of his act of snatching food from the tiger's mouth if it were exposed, and he shuddered all over.

Jiang Yi sneered and thought: It's too late!
Information about the little star-picker Huo Si also emerged in his mind. In the past few years, although the "Shadow Pigeon" under Jiang Yi has never penetrated into the frontier aliens, it has already established a small foundation in the Nine Frontiers.

Huo Si was born into a powerful family in the Baiyue Dynasty, but he had been wandering around the Nine Frontiers. He often relied on his superb body skills to enter and exit some small sects and families in the Nine Frontiers to do some sneaky things.

However, he was very sensible and only stole from small sects and families of the four great dynasties, and never targeted sects and families of other ethnic groups such as the Baiyue and Xifan.

Because of this, he was highly respected by some of the other ethnic groups in the Nine Borders and was given the title of "Little Star Picker".

“Is this stone a treasure?”

Huo Si was about to pick up the thumb-sized stone when he heard the voice beside him and said subconsciously: "Nonsense, of course it's a treasure! And..."

Then he thought of something, looked around, and finally looked at Jiang Yi who was floating high in the air, his face pale.

"Are you Huo Si? The guy chasing you just now seems to be a prince of your Baiyue Dynasty... Did you snatch this map from him? What a courage!"
