Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 19 You Should Call Me Uncle

Tianzhu Peak stands tall among the mountains of the entire world and is the highest peak in the world.

The Xia family, the largest clan in the black market, has its ancestral home on Tianzhu Peak.

The Zangxing Pass, located halfway up the mountain, is where the Xia family settles their visitors. There are 1,200 courtyards along the street, forming a small town.

Inside the courtyard at No. 230 West Street, a young girl in a yellow dress looked up towards the direction of Tianzhu Peak, feeling quite agitated.

Since returning from Yunyang City, she has been staying in Zangxing Pass for nearly two months, but still has not received the news she wants.

"Dragging along like this is not the way the Xia family does things. Could it be that, apart from that good-for-nothing Xia Yunyi, there are really no decent people in this generation of the Xia family?"

The girl in the yellow dress was puzzled. If no one in the Xia family was truly qualified to be the candidate for the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall, then why was her proposal to the Murong family rejected?

Although Murong Yue is not a Saint Body, with her innate Yin Moon Body and the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving she cultivated, she may not be unable to be as strong as Huang Shenyi, a Saint Body, or even defeat a Saint Body of the same realm.

"Could it be that the two sages think no one can beat Huang Shenyi and have given up on this competition for the young master?" Murong Yue frowned slightly and muttered to herself.

"A mere young girl dares to speculate on the thoughts of the sages; she's quite bold."

A rough and powerful voice suddenly rang in Murong Yue's ears. She was startled and looked over to see a tall and imposing figure in a blue robe who had appeared in the courtyard at some point.

The figure appeared to be a man in his early twenties, with bright eyes and thick eyebrows, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Murong Yue spoke cautiously. Tianzhu Peak was the territory of the Xia family. The person in front of her had extremely high cultivation, probably close to half-saint. The fact that he could appear here so quietly meant that he was most likely a member of the Xia family.

The burly man in the blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes piercing as he scrutinized Murong Yue, as if trying to see through all her secrets.

"The Murong family has produced a remarkable junior this generation. He possesses the Yin Moon Physique, which, while not as advanced as the Sacred Physique, is still quite impressive. Do you possess the innate or acquired Yin Moon Physique?"

Murong Yue had seen many powerful members of the Murong family since she was a child. Although the man in front of her was unfathomably strong, he was not enough to make her feel at a loss.

"The innate Yin Moon Body is not necessarily inferior to the Sacred Body. In a battle between people of the same realm, the Sacred Body may not be able to defeat me."

The man in the blue robe was not angry upon hearing this. Instead, he praised him, saying, "You have ambition. Although you are not a Holy Body, in my opinion, you are better than that good-for-nothing Xia Yunyi."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yue frowned, beginning to doubt her earlier guess. Was the other party really a member of the Xia family, given such a comment on the Xia family's sacred body?

"What, are you surprised that I would say such a thing?" The man in the blue robe chuckled, and a terrifying aura of malevolence swept out from his body, turning into a tide of malevolent energy that enveloped all directions.

Murong Yue, who was in the middle of it, was almost forced to kneel down by the tide of murderous aura. She had only ever felt this way when facing a half-saint, but the other party's aura was clearly not that of a half-saint.

"You just asked me who I am? The Xia family, Xia Xiongtu."

……

Yipin Hall, Pojun Hall.

Emperor Yi emerged from the Nine Absolutes Tower, his high fighting spirit still lingering.

After achieving the Profound Realm, his combat power increased dramatically, and he was able to initially mobilize the power of his Sacred Body. This time, he successfully passed the sixth level of the tower and joined the ranks of the Six Absolute Geniuses.

The gap between a sacred body and a mortal body becomes more and more obvious as one progresses. If a sacred body grows to the Heavenly Realm, each one will have the combat power of the Seven Absolutes.

For most martial artists, this is a gap that can be enough to make them feel hopeless.

Huang Shenyi was able to become a Seventh-Rank Genius at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm, surpassing even the Saintly Body at the same level. In the original timeline, Di Yi, at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm, also possessed the combat power of a Seventh-Rank Genius, or even a Seventh-and-a-Half Genius, which forced Zhang Ruochen, who had reached the Supreme Realm twice, to retreat in defeat.

Only after Zhang Ruochen received the legacy of the Great Sage Golden Dragon and reached the supreme realm of the Earthly Extreme Realm did he have the power to fight against an Emperor of the same realm.

"With the Sacred Body and Demonic Heart, I only need to cultivate step by step to become a Seventh-Rank Genius at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm. If I can also reach the Supreme Realm in the Profound Realm, with the Sacred Body and Demonic Heart plus two Supreme Realms, then it will not be impossible to pass the ninth level of the Nine Absolute Tower."

Dispersing his fighting spirit, Di Yi slung the Wuti Sword over his shoulder. The Qiankun Bag was too precious and could easily attract unnecessary trouble, so he tried to avoid exposing it to others.

"In seven days, Liuguang Feiyun has almost mastered the basics, but he hasn't even reached the entry level of the Hades Sword Technique. The difference in difficulty between a high-level Spirit rank martial skill and a low-level Ghost rank martial skill is too great."

Did Empress Chi Yao really master the Ghost-level intermediate sword technique when she was still in the Yellow Realm? How much time and effort must that have taken?

Di Yi secretly grumbled to himself, somewhat unable to understand Empress Chi Yao's thought process back then.

However, now that he has reached the Profound Realm, he can no longer compete with Empress Chi Yao from back then.

The cultivation of the Hades Sword Technique is nothing more than a matter of slow and steady progress. With the blessing of the True Source Demon Eye, Di Yi is confident that he can master it in the Profound Realm.

What truly troubled him was his mental state.

The first part of the Heart Realm consists of 3,600 volumes, covering the three paths of refinement, control, and mind. The content is so extensive that even with the blessing of the True Source Demon Eye, it would conservatively take at least ten years to fully comprehend it.

This is without considering martial arts training. If half of one's energy were devoted to martial arts training, it would take twenty years.

Twenty years to hone a single realm—this is truly terrifying for Di Yi, who is not even seven years old yet.

"My current mental strength is at level 30. As my mental strength level increases, my speed of comprehending the mental realm should also become faster, perhaps only 15 years or even 10 years."

The supreme legacy left behind by an ancient god of spiritual power is worth all the effort and time he has invested. He only hopes that the power of the mental realm will not disappoint him.

After leaving the Po Jun Hall, Di Yi walked along the ancient blue stone path toward his residence.

"Climb! Climb!"

Suddenly, footsteps sounded ahead. He looked up and saw a burly figure in blue standing in the middle of the road, with his hands at his sides, looking down at him.

"I didn't expect you to have grown up so much. Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met."

Di Yi frowned slightly, feeling a terrifying sense of oppression from the person in front of him, as if he were facing a savage beast king.

This place is the heart of Yipintang, so Di Yi is not worried that anyone will make a move against him.

"Senior, did you come here specifically for me? May I ask how I should address you?" Di Yi asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The burly man in the blue robe smiled and shook his head upon hearing this: "Senior? You shouldn't call me senior."

"You should call me uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Di Yi's pupils contracted slightly, recalling the legendary maternal uncle from the original owner's memories.

Every era has its own prodigies. Over the past decade, the most renowned figures in the Eastern Region were the Four Sacred Bodies, who were once written about in the "Eastern Region Chronicle" by the talented woman of the Holy Book.

These four sacred bodies come from the Martial Market Academy, the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion, the Two Elements Sect, and the Black Market, respectively.

The Holy Body in the black market is named Xia Xiongtu. He comes from the Xia family, possesses the Azure Dragon Holy Body, and cultivates the [Heavenly Demon Ascending Dragon Diagram] from the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings. He is unparalleled in both spear and palm techniques and is famous throughout the Eastern Region.
