Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 500: The War King bestows the Marshal Seal!
Zhao Wuji's inheritance was vast.
It filled Xiao Yi's mind in an instant, among which the most dazzling were his three signature techniques: the "Godslayer's Seven Absolute Swords", the "Infinite Profound Technique", and the "Invincible King Fist"!
One swordsmanship, one cultivation technique, and one fist technique.
Of course...
As a Martial God, it was natural that Zhao Wuji had more than these few methods at his disposal.
However.
Xiao Yi's cultivation was merely at the third level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm. With his current cultivation level, even if it was Zhao Wuji's moves and secret techniques from above the Longevity Secret Realm, they were beyond his reach to cultivate.
Not to mention using them!
Only these three ultimate techniques could enable Xiao Yi's combat power to explosively increase several fold in a short period of time.
"Emperor Qian said that Xiao Tianjiao, right after his breakthrough to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, had slain an assassin from the Sword Dynasty who was in the Third Nirvana Realm."
Xiao Yi's eyes sparkled with sharp light, especially with a burning desire to fight, "With my current strength, even facing a master who has undergone six Nirvanas wouldn't be my match in a single bout! Xiao Tianjiao, the distance between us is getting smaller and smaller!"
With Xiao Yi's current cultivation at the third level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, coupled with the Sixth Transformation Wind and Thunder Holy Body, as well as mastering Zhao Wuji's lifetime inheritance.
His combat power was definitely at the very top!
Looking back three years ago...
Xiao Tianjiao stood high above, hailed as the number one genius of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Back then, Xiao Yi was merely at the Physical Body Realm, lowly like an ant.
Now, merely in a rush of three years.
Xiao Yi had grown by leaps and bounds, from the feeble Physical Body Realm to the third level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, and even capable of slaying a Sixth Nirvana Realm powerhouse. The gap between the two was constantly closing.
"It's time to pay respects to Mother." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
The anniversary of his mother's death was still over a month away.
Once the matter of the Sword Dynasty's God Devouring Ants army was dealt with, it would almost be time to go back.
He stood up.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yi built a new grave at the original site of Zhao Wuji's tomb, placing the tombstone back in its proper place. He bowed respectfully towards Zhao Wuji's tombstone: "Senior, rest in peace!"
Whoosh!
The God Sealing Seed inside him that was suppressing Zhao Wuji seemed to let go of his last bit of obsession.
Looking up toward the tombstone after.
That was the passage to the second level of the eternal burial ground. However, the reminders from Zhao Wuji in his mind were still fresh, not to set foot on the second level until reaching the Longevity Secret Realm. Xiao Yi let out a long breath, then slowly inhaled it into his body: "The Longevity Secret Realm? It won't be too long now!"
With that thought.
Xiao Yi turned and left the eternal burial ground.
Although it seemed a long time had passed within the eternal burial ground, at Imperial Dragon Mountain it was just a brief moment; the clouds of calamity in the sky were quietly dispersing. Yet, the destructive storm that resulted from the heavenly tribulation continued.
The vast Imperial Dragon Mountain had already turned into ruins, with thick smoke billowing everywhere, a complete mess.
The entire Spirit Gathering Array had crumbled, and within a thousand miles the spirit energy of heaven and earth was entirely depleted by the heavenly tribulation, unlikely to recover for at least a year and a half.
Among the ruins, countless powerful beings were either injured all over or had enlightenment during the heavenly tribulation and were making breakthroughs on the spot; some even went through life-and-death trials, fully stimulating their potential and solidifying their states of mind.
Yang Ling had already fully stepped into the Dharma Manifestation Realm and, by a stroke of luck through calamity, was directly advanced to the second level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
Even Yang Yuhuan was on the verge of a breakthrough, about to step into the Nine Nirvana Realm.
At this moment...
Yang Yuhuan looked at Xiao Yi, who suddenly appeared before him, with extremely complicated eyes.
He was the incomparable War King, the Martial God of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Xiao Yi had repeatedly opposed him, and Yang Yuhuan considered him a thorn in his side, but now, due to Xiao Yi, he had survived even this round of heavenly tribulation and had a realization, on the verge of stepping into the Nine Nirvana Realm.
You should know.
If he had cultivated normally, he would have needed at least another hundred years to complete his ninth Nirvana.

This favor was beyond repaying!
"Enough!"
Yang Yuhuan suddenly heaved a long sigh and proactively walked toward Xiao Yi.
This scene made many powerful beings anxious: "Could it be that War King is going to trouble Xiao Yi?"
"Very likely indeed!"
"Xiao Yi really went too far, dragging tens of thousands of people to transcend the tribulation with him, this madman..."
Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward, shielding Xiao Yi: "Great-Uncle Emperor, I ask you to spare Xiao Yi on my account..."
"Step aside!"
Yang Yuhuan spoke indifferently, his icy gaze stunning Yang Ling for a moment as he brushed past him to stand before Xiao Yi.
Their eyes met.
An intangible aura clashed, creating a vacuum between them.
A moment of silence passed.
Yang Yuhuan finally said, "You are a madman!"
"Is there not but a fine line between a madman and a genius? Moreover, without me, would you have reached the opportunity of the Ninth Nirvana so swiftly?" Xiao Yi shrugged and replied with a smile.
Having reached the third level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, the Nirvana Realm was no longer as elusive to him as before.
He could faintly sense an aura emanating from Yang Yuhuan, similar to that of Yang Zun and the others.
This was a sign of the Nine Nirvanas.
"Indeed!"
A sudden smile broke across Yang Yuhuan's eternally unchanging face as he heaved a light sigh. In this tribulation, he had faced life and death, which also allowed him to let go of his grudges with Emperor Qian.
Previously, when a bolt of heavenly tribulation had struck, had it not been for Emperor Qian's intervention, he would have been severely injured.
In this moment...
Yang Yuhuan was completely at ease, smiling as he turned to address Emperor Qian: "Your Majesty, your servant has a matter to report!"
"Hmm?"
Emperor Qian, seated on the dragon throne and receiving treatment from Eunuch Qi, looked up in surprise at Yang Yuhuan. The act of saving Yang Yuhuan had been an instinctive reaction under critical circumstances, without much thought.
Yang Yuhuan stated plainly, "Our Great Qian Dynasty grows stronger with each generation, and it is now the era of the young. I wish to relinquish my military seal and nominate Xiao Yi as the Supreme Commander of the Great Qian Dynasty's armies!"
Hiss!
Emperor Qian was startled.
Yang Ling, Yang Kun, and the others all looked up, bewildered at Yang Yuhuan.
For years, Emperor Qian had used countless schemes to retrieve the military seal, but Yang Yuhuan had always held on to it. Now, he was volunteering to hand it over?
And to nominate Xiao Yi as the Supreme Commander?
Yang Kun's expression suddenly changed; how critical was the position of Supreme Commander? He had just managed to gain Yang Yuhuan's support, and if the seal were to pass to Xiao Yi now, all his efforts would be in vain.
With this thought...
Yang Kun swiftly stepped forward, the first to object: "Father Emperor, Great-Uncle Emperor, this must not be done!"
"Your Highness, please reconsider!"
"Your Highness, you are the best candidate for Supreme Commander of our Great Qian Dynasty's armies, the Calm Sea Divine Needle of our military. You cannot step down!"
"Xiao Yi, what Soul-Ensnaring Skill have you used to make His Highness relinquish his position?"
"This must not be done..."
The officers and officials belonging to the War God faction all stepped forward, shouting out.
With the War God present,
they could rest easy without worries.
If the War God were to step down!
They would lose their mainstay and have to face Emperor Qian directly—how could they contend with Emperor Qian?
Yang Yuhuan, however, simply swept a glance over the crowd and, without another word, tossed the military seal to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, the seal is now yours. Whether you can control these people is up to you to prove!"
Holding the military seal with dragons and tigers at odds in his hands, Xiao Yi glanced at the barely perceptible smugness on Yang Yuhuan's lips and said incredulously, "Your Highness, are you intentionally setting me up?"
"Hahaha, one who aspires to wear the crown must bear its weight! I have high hopes for you!" Yang Yuhuan laughed heartily as he suddenly soared into the sky, vanishing from everyone's sight in an instant.
For a moment,
all eyes fell on Xiao Yi. Yang Kun, with a gloomy face, coldly shouted, "Xiao Yi, hand over the military seal!"
