    The sun was just beginning to rise.


    Behind Yang Family Manor, a child around seven or eight years old was constantly moving about, sometimes as still as a maiden, sometimes as swift as a darting rabbit. As he threw punches, there was actually a strong gust of wind.


    Yang Xiaotian had been in this world for seven years now and had started practicing the Taiji Scripture since he was four.


    In his previous life, he was a descendant of the Wudang Sect on Earth. The Taiji Scripture was a profound and secret martial art of the Wudang Sect. Although he had only practiced it for three years now, he already had quite a bit of inner strength in his body.


    Don¡¯t look at him as just a child; with a single punch, he could send an ordinary adult flying several meters back. Two or three ordinary adults could not get anywhere near him.


    While Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Taiji Scripture, the sound of footsteps came from the foot of the mountain.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t need to look back to know who it was.


    He stopped practicing and looked over to see a little girl with a long braid, round andrge eyes that were both cute and elf-like.


    Seeing the little girl, Yang Xiaotian showed a smile.


    The little girl was his younger sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, a year younger than him.


    As Yang Ling¡¯er climbed up the mountain and saw Yang Xiaotian from afar, she sweetlyughed and said, ¡°Big brother, I knew you sneaked off to the back mountain to y the monkey again.¡±


    y the monkey?


    ck lines formed on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s forehead as he said, ¡°This isn¡¯t ying the monkey. This is the Wudang Sect¡¯s profound Taiji Scripture.¡± He had exined this to the little girl countless times already.


    However, Yang Ling¡¯er stuck out her tongue, with a mischievous grin, and said, ¡°It is ying the monkey.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless; he could never win a verbal argument with this little girl.


    ¡°What are you looking for me for?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked his sister, who seemed small but was devilishly clever. Every time she came to the back mountain to find him, it was surely not for anything good.


    ¡°It¡¯s father and mother who are looking for you,¡± said Yang Ling¡¯er, twirling her little braid with a mysterious look on her face. ¡°It seems they want to take you into the city for a Martial Soul Awakening.¡±


    Martial Soul Awakening!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart gave a great thump.


    Of course, he knew what a Martial Soul Awakening was. In this world, known as the Martial Soul World, when children reached a certain age, they had to undergo Martial Soul Awakening.


    Only after awakening a Martial Soul could one cultivate.


    Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly, his emotions stirred. He had long awaited this day. Having been in this world for several years, he had always wanted to know whether he possessed a Martial Soul or what kind of Martial Soul it might be.


    ¡°Big brother, you better go back quickly. If father and mother can¡¯t find you, they will definitely get angry and spank you,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said seriously, tilting her chubby face upward.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s head back quickly,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, and tugged on Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s little braid as they walked down toward Yang Family Manor.


    Yang Ling¡¯er shouted from behind, ¡°Big brother, if you pull my braid again, I¡¯ll tell mother and father that you were ying the monkey on the back mountain.¡±


    The siblings chased andughed, one after the other.


    Soon, they returned to Yang Family Manor.


    When they arrived back at Yang Family Manor, the hall was already filled with quite a number of people. For this Martial Soul Awakening, besides Yang Xiaotian, there was also his uncle¡¯s son, Yang Zhong.


    Yang Chao saw his son Yang Xiaotian return and snorted, his face stern. However, he did not reprimand Yang Xiaotian in public. He red at him, thinking, I¡¯ll deal with you when we get back.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s grandfather, the old Manor Lord Yang Ming of Yang Family Manor, saw that everyone had arrived and dered loudly, ¡°Now that everyone is here, let¡¯s set out.¡±


    As only the nearby Xingyue City had the Formation for conducting a Martial Soul Awakening, their destination was Xingyue City.


    Yang Family Manor was not far from Xingyue City, so it took only a little over an hour before everyone arrived at the square in Xingyue City that hosted Martial Soul Awakenings.


    The square for Martial Soul Awakening was an open space. As long as one paid a certain amount of Gold Coins, they could undergo Martial Soul Awakening.


    By the time everyone arrived, the square was already packed with people, not only from Yang Family Manor but also disciples from other families in Xingyue City who hade for their Martial Soul Awakening. The scene was bustling.


    Soon, it was the turn of the Yang Family members.


    Yang Ming stepped forward, paid the fee for the Martial Soul Awakening, and as a master from Xingyue City infused power into the array, it activated the formation. Suddenly, a hexagonal formation map rose from the ground.


    ¡°Zhong¡¯er, you go first,¡± Yang Ming said warmly, beckoning Yang Zhong with a smile.


    As the eldest grandson of the Yang Family, Yang Ming was very fond of Yang Zhong.


    ¡°Yes, Grandfather,¡± Yang Zhong replied. Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, he walked to the center of the formation map.


    Enveloped by the power of the formation map, a radiant light surged around Yang Zhong¡¯s body, and suddenly, a phoenix cry resonating through Heaven and Earth rang out, revealing a giant bird appearing above and behind Yang Zhong.


    The giant bird was engulfed in mes, its wings stretched wide, spanning ten meters in length, and an astonishing aura spread from it.


    The crowd on-site was shocked.


    After the initial surprise, Yang Ming couldn¡¯t help but tremble with excitement, ¡°It¡¯s the Green Phoenix! It¡¯s the level ten Martial Soul, Green Phoenix!¡±


    The ranks of Martial Souls go from low to high, from level one to ten, or even beyond with the Supreme Martial Spirit.


    Supreme Martial Spirits are exceedingly rare, and level ten already signifies supreme talent, so it¡¯s no wonder Yang Ming was so excited.


    Yang Zhong¡¯s father, Yang Hai, and the high-level experts of the Yang Family who were present were all thrilled.


    ¡°Congrattions, Manor Lord Yang,¡± Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch from Xingyue City, stepped forward with a congrattory fist and palm salute, smiling, ¡°Yang Family has produced an incredible talent, truly enviable.¡±


    Being one of thergest families in Xingyue City, the Li Family was slightly stronger than Yang Family Manor. Hearing Li Guang¡¯s words, Yang Mingughed heartily and returned the gesture politely, ¡°Thank you, Brother Li. Your care and consideration in the future will be much appreciated.¡± It was clear to everyone that Yang Ming was feeling proud and excited.


    The experts from the other families in Xingyue City also came forward to congratte Yang Ming and Yang Hai.


    Yang Ming and Yang Hai smiled widely, unable to hide their joy.


    In the envious gaze of everyone, Yang Zhong walked out from the Formation Map, his brilliance attracting all eyes. Even though he was young, he understood what it meant to have a level ten Martial Soul.


    From now on, he would be the favorite of Heaven!


    As he passed by Yang Xiaotian, he looked at him with a hint of pride.


    Seeing Yang Zhong¡¯s triumphant look, Yang Xiaotian frowned. Though Yang Zhong was his elder uncle¡¯s son, he often targeted him and his younger sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, taking advantage of their grandfather¡¯s doting nature.


    Although it was always Yang Zhong who instigated the conflicts, their grandfather always took Yang Zhong¡¯s side, often leaving him and his sister Yang Ling¡¯er to face the scolding.


    ¡°Xiaotian, it¡¯s your turn now,¡± Yang Ming said to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian responded and then walked to the center of the formation map.


    Given that Yang Zhong had a level ten Martial Soul, Xiaotian felt somewhat nervous standing at the center of the formation map.


    After all, in the Martial Soul World, whether one has a Martial Soul and the level of that Martial Soul would determine a person¡¯s future.


    The experts from the other families in Xingyue City also watched Yang Xiaotian, curious to find out what Martial Soul the grandson of Yang Ming would awaken.


    Yang Chao was equally tense, watching his son and silently praying in his heart.


    In the center of the formation map, wrapped in its power, Yang Xiaotian felt a warm sensation, and soon light began to surge around him.


    Yang Chao¡¯s heart tightened.


    Hum!


    With a faint sound, a phantom flew out from within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, looming above and behind his head.

 Chapter 2 - 2 Grandpa’s Favoritism

    2 Chapter 2 Grandpa¡¯s Favoritism


    Trantor: 549690339


    What appeared behind Yang Xiaotian was a gigantic ck tortoise.


    The giant tortoise was entwined with a small ck snake.


    The ck snake was so small that it was easily overlooked.


    The moment everyone saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul, their faces were full of astonishment.


    ¡°What a big tortoise!¡± Suddenly, a master from Xingyue City burst outughing, ¡°It¡¯s actually a Tortoise Martial Soul, haha, Yang Ming, your grandson¡¯s Martial Soul is really quite unique.¡±


    The crowd soon caught on, and many masters from Xingyue Cityughed heartily.


    Yang Ming looked at the giant tortoise above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, his face turning ugly upon hearing those words.


    A tortoise?


    Although the tortoise was not a first-level useless Martial Soul, it was barely better than a useless one, an extremely ineffective second-level Martial Soul.


    The Tortoise Martial Soul absorbed nature¡¯s spiritual energy at an incredibly slow pace. With a Tortoise Martial Soul, cultivating for a year could not catch up with others¡¯ ten days of cultivation.


    Yang Chao, who had been hopeful and praying, turned pale as if he had fallen into an abyss.


    His son¡¯s Martial Soul was a tortoise? With a Martial Soul like the tortoise, even if one cultivated madly for a lifetime, it was impossible to be a true Soul Master.


    At this time, the master from Xingyue Cityughed again and said, ¡°It seems that we have the Tortoise Martial Soul for the first time in Xingyue City? Yang Ming, your grandson has indeed broken the record for our city.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Ming¡¯s face grew even uglier.


    While the surrounding crowd erupted intoughter, Yang Xiaotian stared at his own Martial Soul, lost in thought.


    His Martial Soul closely resembled the ck Tortoise from the legends of Earth in China.


    The ck Tortoise was a Supreme Divine Beast.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian still standing inside the Formation Map, staring dumbfounded at his own Tortoise Martial Soul, Yang Ming was furious and scolded, ¡°You shameless thing, get down from there!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian stepped out of the Formation Map, looked at the furious Yang Ming, hesitated for a moment, and exined, ¡°Grandpa, my Martial Soul might not be a tortoise.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian still having the audacity to argue, Yang Ming¡¯s face turned blue with rage, ¡°Take this little thing back home.¡± After saying these words, he left in anger, as he had no face to stay any longer.


    Seeing Yang Ming leave, the masters from Yang Family Manor quickly followed and left Xingyue City.


    Li Family Patriarch Li Guang saw Yang Ming leaving in a huff and also shook his head. Who would have thought that, among Yang Ming¡¯s grandsons, one would have a tenth-level Martial Soul, while the other a second-level Martial Soul.


    Upon returning to Yang Family Manor, the more Yang Ming thought about it, the angrier he became. He said to Yang Chao, ¡°Look at the good son you¡¯ve raised! If he ever dares to leave Yang Family Manor, I will not hesitate to break his legs!¡±


    Today, Yang Xiaotian had utterly embarrassed him in front of all the masters in Xingyue City.


    Yang Ming left with a sweep of his sleeves.


    After Yang Ming had left, Yang Hai smiled at Yang Chao, ¡°Second brother, don¡¯t take it too hard. Father is just like that. But I also didn¡¯t expect Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul to be a tortoise.¡±


    Anyone could hear the schadenfreude in Yang Hai¡¯s words.


    Yang Hai left with his son Yang Zhong and others.


    Before he left, Yang Zhong said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian, at the end of the year during the familypetition, we must have a good exchange. But you have to practice hard, don¡¯t get blown away by one punch from me.¡±


    Watching the departing Yang Hai, Yang Zhong, and others, Yang Chao¡¯s face turned ugly. He turned to look at his son Yang Xiaotian, opened his mouth to speak but eventually just sighed and said, ¡°Xiaotian, it¡¯s okay. As long as you practice hard, you won¡¯t lose to Yang Zhong. You can be an Innate Martial Artist.¡±


    But was that possible?


    Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian returned to their own west courtyard. When Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian returned, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mother Huang Ying came out happily to greet them and asked Yang Chao, ¡°How did it go? What Martial Soul has Xiaotian awakened?¡±


    Yang Chao¡¯s face was filled with defeat. Looking at his wife¡¯s hopeful expression, he eventually shook his head and remained silent.


    Yang Xiaotian wanted to exin, but in the end he said nothing and returned to his own room. He knew that exnations would be useless now, so he decided to let facts speak for themselves when the time came.


    The night was pitch-ck.


    Yang Xiaotian sat crossed-legged on the bed in his room, following the Prajna Skill his father had taught him during the day, and activated his Martial Soul.


    Soon, above his head, a massive shadow of a tortoise appeared.


    In the eyes of Yang Ming, Yang Zhong, and others, his second-level Martial Soul, Tortoise, which they considered barely better than a useless Martial Soul, opened its huge mouth and started devouring. At once, nature¡¯s spiritual energy rushed towards Yang Xiaotian like a flood.


    Boom!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body shook.


    The ferocity of nature¡¯s spiritual energy almost engulfed him.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    This is way too intense.


    Although he suspected that his Martial Soul might be the supreme divine beast, ck Tortoise, the terror of devouring nature¡¯s spiritual energy far exceeded his imagination.


    The spiritual energy rushed through the meridians in his body, rapidly transforming into the fighting spirit within him.


    Under the nourishment of his soul power, his Martial Soul also surged with light, and the little ck snake coiled around the ck Tortoise began to grow, opening its mouth to devour nature¡¯s spiritual energy as well.


    The little ck snake might not seemrge, but its speed of devouring nature¡¯s spiritual energy was no slower than the ck Tortoise¡¯s.


    Seeing the little ck snake and the ck Tortoise devouring nature¡¯s spiritual energy at the same time, an odd feeling rose in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart. Could he possess Twin Martial Spirits?


    And the little ck snake¡¯s rank was not lower than the ck Tortoise¡¯s!


    Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart rate quickened. He had been in the Martial Soul World for several years and was somewhat familiar with the situation here. Although Supreme Martial Spirits were rare, he had asionally heard of them, but he had never heard of anyone in the Martial Soul World with twin Supreme Martial Spirits!


    Unknowingly, the night passed.


    When Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating, dawn had already broken.


    To his disbelief, after a night of cultivation, he had sessfully made a breakthrough to the first rank!


    His uncle, Yang Hai, with his top-tier eighth-level Martial Soul Earth Bear, had taken three to four months to break through to the first rank.


    As for his grandfather, Yang Ming, with his ordinary eighth-level Martial Soul, Grey Wolf, it took him a full half year to reach the first rank.


    Yet now, he had managed it in just one night.


    To be exact, it took just a few hours.


    Yang Xiaotian walked into the courtyard and punched arge rock in the corner, immediately leaving a fist imprint several inches deep.


    All of this was real; he had truly broken through to the first rank! He was now genuinely a first-rank martial artist!


    Seeing that he had broken through to the first rank in just one night, excitement surged within Yang Xiaotian. If this continued, wouldn¡¯t he be able to break through the tenth rank and be an Innate Expert in no time?


    At that moment, arguing voices came from his parents¡¯ room.


    Yang Xiaotian found it strange, his parents were always affectionate with no history of quarreling. What could they possibly be arguing about? He approached their room.


    ¡°Father is being too unfair,¡± his mother Huang Ying¡¯s sobbing voice rose. ¡°ording to Yang Family Manor¡¯s rules, disciples who undergo Martial Soul Awakening are entitled to a portion of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. This was a rule set by father, butst night he gave Yang Zhong¡¯s portion of the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to him to consume as well!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, you had always been managing the family¡¯s silk business. Yet, suddenly, father announces that you are no longer to involve yourself in the silk business, instructing elder brother to take charge of both the mines and the silk business. What does this mean?¡±


    ¡°Yang Hai and Yang Zhong are his son and grandson, but aren¡¯t you and Xiaotian also his son and grandson?¡±


    ¡°Father is too biased!¡±

 Chapter 3 - 3 The Sister Gets Hit

    3 Chapter 3 The Sister Gets Hit


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly when he heard this.


    He couldn¡¯t believe his grandfather could be so tantly biased.


    Not only had he given his entire share of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to Yang Zhong for cultivation, but he had also handed over the silk business, originally managed by his father, to his eldest uncle.


    Was it all because he had awakened the Tortoise Martial Soul?


    Was it because he had humiliated himself in front of everyone in Xingyue City? So much so that even his father had been affected by the anger.


    Yang Xiaotian returned to his room and continued to cultivate.


    His grandfather had given his entire share of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to Yang Zhong to cultivate, so he would show the people of Yang Family Manor that even without the Spiritual Liquid, he could still be stronger than Yang Zhong.


    As Yang Xiaotian continued cultivating, in Yang Zhong¡¯s courtyard, Yang Ming watched his grandson with satisfaction. Yang Zhong had not disappointed him. After consuming two portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquidst night, the results of his cultivation had exceeded his expectations.


    The Green Phoenix was truly worthy of its heritage of a Divine Beast¡¯s bloodline.


    ¡°How do you feel?¡± Yang Ming asked his grandson Yang Zhong with a loving face.


    Yang Zhong was filled with confidence, ¡°Grandfather, don¡¯t worry. In one month, before the family¡¯s annual meeting, I will definitely break through and be a first-order martial artist!¡±


    One month, one order!


    Upon hearing this, Yang Ming¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and heughed loudly, ¡°Good, if you can break through to the first order before the family¡¯s annual meeting, grandfather will reward you generously!¡±


    If Yang Zhong could break through to a first-order martial artist in just one month, it would break the records of Xingyue City and create a sensation. He would be more than just the pride of the city.


    Several days passed in session.


    Yang Ming went to Yang Zhong¡¯s courtyard every day to personally instruct him in cultivation. Seeing his grandson make rapid progress each day, Yang Ming was overjoyed.


    It seemed Yang Zhong wouldn¡¯t even need a month to break through an order.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian also stayed indoors, diligently cultivating.


    One evening, as Yang Xiaotian was absorbing nature¡¯s spiritual energy, a sound like a silkworm breaking free from its cocoon suddenly resounded within him.


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    After four days of hard cultivation, he had finally made a breakthrough and entered the second order.


    In the Martial Soul World, even many geniuses with a level-ten Martial Soul would typically need three to four months to achieve a breakthrough to the second order, but he had done it in just four days!


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t contain his excitement.


    Although he didn¡¯t know if anyone in the Martial Soul World had broken through to the second order in four days, he was certain no one in the Divine Sea Country had.


    When daylight arrived, Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating, feeling clear-headed and refreshed, as if he had boundless energy.


    He went out to the yard and began practicing the Taiji Scripture. Each move was executed fluently, as natural as the flowing clouds and water, and as he moved, a current of air swirled around his body.


    After breaking through to the second order, Yang Xiaotian found that his internal strength had also progressed.


    But while Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Taiji Scripture, he saw his younger sister Yang Ling¡¯er run in from outside, crying.


    Yang Xiaotian felt something was amiss and was just about to ask her what happened when he saw a red palm print on her plump little face; her entire left cheek was swollen.


    Looking at his sister¡¯s swollen left cheek, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s anger surged uncontrobly, ¡°Who did this?¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er cried out but kept shaking her head, refusing to say.


    Yang Xiaotian saw that the palm print wasn¡¯t very big, it must have been from a child his age, he said angrily, ¡°Was it Yang Zhong who hit you?¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er still shook her head crying, although she didn¡¯t say it, when Yang Xiaotian mentioned Yang Zhong, her expression still changed a bit, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s anger red: ¡°Let¡¯s go, big brother will go with you to settle the score with him!¡± Saying this, he pulled his sister up to find Yang Zhong.


    But as soon as he pulled his sister up, sister Yang Ling¡¯er said it hurt, Yang Xiaotian puzzled, couldn¡¯t help but roll up his sister¡¯s sleeve, to see both arms were covered in shocking whip marks.


    Although there was no bleeding, it looked painful.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fury soared to the skies: ¡°Yang Zhong even whipped you with a whip?¡±


    Her sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, with tears in her eyes, finally nodded, crying out, ¡°Yang Zhong insulted you as a ¡®tortoise¡¯, I couldn¡¯t bear it and called him a name.¡±


    What happened next goes without saying.


    Yang Xiaotian was furious, pulling his sister out of the courtyard to find Yang Zhong. They had only got a short distance from the courtyard when they saw Yang Zhong and several sons of the Yang Family Manor¡¯s stewards, walking along arm in arm,ughing and carrying whips.


    ¡°Yang Zhong, was it you who hit my sister?¡± Yang Xiaotian charged up to him.


    Yang Zhong, seeing Yang Xiaotianing in a fury, didn¡¯t take it to heart andughed loudly, ¡°That¡¯s right, it was me who hit her. What about it? You ¡®tortoise¡¯ want to stand up for your sister?¡±


    No sooner had he finished speaking than Yang Xiaotian charged forward, a p flying straight to the mark.


    Yang Xiaotian, who had practiced the Taiji Scripture, was quick and agile, and Yang Zhong couldn¡¯t dodge in time, immediately being struck across the left cheek by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s p.


    Smack!


    A crisp sound echoed, and Yang Zhong staggered wildly, almost falling to the ground.


    Yang Zhong was dazed by the p, his ears ringing, tinging with disbelief. Ever since his Martial Soul Awakening, he had been the favored son of the Yang Family Manor, his grandfather doted on him immeasurably, afraid even to let him fall when holding him in hand. Yang Xiaotian actually dared to hit him!


    A Yang Xiaotian who had awakened a second-grade Martial Soul actually dared to hit him!


    ¡°You dare to hit me!¡± Yang Zhong covered his face, yelling angrily, then shouted to the children of the Yang Family Manor standing around, ¡°What are you standing there for, beat him up!¡±


    Hearing this, several children of the Yang Family Manor advanced to encircle Yang Xiaotian, but these peers were no match for Yang Xiaotian, who quickly knocked each one to the ground with a single move.


    Seeing this, Yang Zhong picked up a whip andshed toward Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face. If thesh connected, it would certainly not be light, but Yang Xiaotian dodged swiftly, grabbed the whip, pulled it away, and then struck back with it.


    Yang Zhong¡¯s arm was whipped, and the pain made him cry and scream: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, wait until I break through a rank, at the end-of-year n gathering, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±


    The end-of-year n gathering?


    At that moment, a flurry of footsteps sounded, clearly Yang Zhong¡¯s crying had rmed the people of the Yang Family Manor.


    The first to arrive was Yang Hai, who upon arriving at the scene saw Yang Zhong crying and screaming.


    Seeing his fathering, Yang Zhong pointed at Yang Xiaotian, crying out, ¡°Father, Yang Xiaotian hit my face.¡± He then rolled up his sleeve: ¡°He also whipped me.¡±


    Yang Hai, seeing his son¡¯s swollen face and the whip marks on his arm, was immediately furiously enraged, and without asking for exnations, berated Yang Xiaotian, ¡°So young, yet you strike with such cruelty. If your parents don¡¯t teach you, then I shall teach you properly!¡± With that, he raised his hand to p Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face.


    ¡°Big brother, stop!¡± Yang Chao came running, seeing from afar, he cried out in rm.


    When Yang Hai saw Yang Chao arriving, he had to stop and was about to angrily question him, but then he saw that his father, Yang Ming, had also arrived.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Yang Ming asked from a distance.


    ¡°Father, it was Xiaotian, he struck Zhong¡¯er¡¯s face and whipped him with a whip,¡± Yang Hai stepped forward and reported: ¡°Zhong¡¯er¡¯s face is swollen.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Yang Ming¡¯s face changed, he stepped forward and saw his grandson Yang Zhong¡¯s face indeed swollen.

    ¡°You, how could you be so harsh on your own brother!¡± Yang Ming looked at his grandson Yang Zhong¡¯s face and arms, distressed, and pointed at Yang Xiaotian with both anger and fury in his voice.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°He hit my sister¡¯s face first and whipped her with a belt!¡±


    At that moment, everyone saw the swollen face and the shocking whip marks on both of Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s tiny arms.


    On Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s slender arms, there were at least seven whip marks.


    But Yang Ming turned a blind eye, pointing at Yang Xiaotian with his beard trembling with rage, ¡°You dare to talk back after hitting your own brother! Servants, lock him up in the ancestral home for one day, and during this day, no one is to bring him food!¡±


    No food for a day?


    Yang Chao¡¯s face changed, ¡°Father!¡±


    Now it was deep winter, and the ancestral home was exceedingly cold, growing even colder at night. For a seven-year-old child like Yang Xiaotian to be locked in the ancestral home without food or drink for a day would be extremely hard to endure!


    ¡°What are you waiting for, lock him up in the ancestral home!¡± Yang Ming shouted angrily at a manager of the Yang Family Manor.


    Seeing that manager was about to take her brother away, Yang Ling¡¯er wept and embraced Yang Xiaotian, pleading with Yang Ming, ¡°Grandfather, please don¡¯t lock my brother in the ancestral home, I beg you!¡±


    But Yang Ming¡¯s face remained impassive.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian was locked up in the ancestral home on the back mountain.


    With the wooden door of the ancestral home shut, heaven and earth quieted down. Yang Xiaotian, peering through the dim light at the ancestral tablets of many generations of the Yang Family, felt an unexpected sense of calm.


    No food allowed for one day?


    He hadn¡¯t expected that after awakening a ¡°Level Two¡± Tortoise Martial Soul, his grandfather¡¯s disdain for him would go this far.


    Yang Xiaotian sat down cross-legged, began to practice the Prajna Skill, and focused on thoroughly absorbing nature¡¯s spiritual energy with his Martial Soul.


    Locked within the ancestral home¡¯s domain, Yang Xiaotian was without distraction, and the speed at which he absorbed nature¡¯s spiritual energy seemed to increase, transforming into spiritual power within his body.


    By nightfall, cold winds poured into the ancestral home, but Yang Xiaotian felt neither cold nor hungry.


    In the silent world, his perception continued to expand, even the chirping of insects a hundred meters away could be heard clearly.


    Not knowing how long had passed, suddenly, the sound of breaking out of a cocoon echoed inside him.


    Yang Xiaotian was thrilled.


    He had finally made another breakthrough, stepping into the third rank.


    Moreover, he discovered that he seemed to have undergone some transformation, his perception far surpassing that of before.


    Being locked in the ancestral home had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.


    A dayter, Yang Xiaotian was finally released. His father Yang Chao, mother Huang Ying, and sister Yang Ling¡¯er were all waiting outside the ancestral home. As soon as Yang Xiaotian emerged, his mother Huang Ying quietly wiped away tears and hugged Yang Xiaotian tightly.


    Yang Ling¡¯er was in tears even more, crying her eyes out.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to his mother with a toothy smile, ¡°I even wanted to be locked up for a few more days.¡± That was actually the truth.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued as before, almost never leaving his courtyard to practice.


    And after that p, even Yang Zhong became much more subdued, staying in his courtyard and diligently cultivating.


    Knowing that Yang Zhong was staying in his courtyard, cultivating just like he was and not setting foot outside, Yang Xiaotian had a calm expression. Of course, he knew why Yang Zhong was cultivating so hard.


    Yang Zhong was only trying to break through to the first tier as soon as possible so that at the family¡¯s year-end gathering, he could teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson.


    You won¡¯t let me off?


    Thinking of how Yang Zhong had proimed that he wouldn¡¯t let him off at the family¡¯s year-end gathering, Yang Xiaotian suddenly punched out fiercely, releasing spiritual power, and therge stone in the courtyard shattered into countless pieces.


    Days went by.


    The end of the year was approaching.


    The Yang Family Manor began preparations for the New Year, decorating everything in a festive manner.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in the snow-covered courtyard practicing the Taiji Scripture, with each punch and move, the force of his fists was soft yet resolute, raising swathes of snowkes from the ground.


    After breaking through to the third rank, although his speed of breakthrough had slowed, after these days of hard training, Yang Xiaotian had sessfully advanced to the fourth rank and reached the peak of the fourth rank.


    And his Taiji Scripture had made even more obvious progress; his martial strength now covered a range of three meters.


    After practicing for a while, Yang Xiaotian stopped and felt his body steaming with heat.


    Tomorrow was the family n meeting.


    Originally, the family n meeting wasn¡¯t supposed to be so soon, but at the earnest request of Yang Zhong, his grandfather Yang Ming had brought the meeting forward.


    The family n meeting has been moved up? It seems that Yang Zhong has made a breakthrough to the first tier and can¡¯t wait to teach him a lesson at the n meeting!


    Yang Xiaotian strolled out of the yard; he had seldom seen his sister after so many days of intensive training, and he decided to go see the little girl.


    ¡°Have you heard? Tomorrow at the family n meeting, a big shot from Divine Sword Academy wille to our Yang Family Manor!¡±


    ¡°A big shot from Divine Sword Academy? Who is it? Why is heing to Yang Family Manor?¡±


    The guards of the Yang Family Manor were discussing in the distance.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    Divine Sword Academy? Divine Sword Academy was the foremost academy among the four major academies in Divine Sea Country. If a family disciple could study at Divine Sword Academy, it would bring honor to the entire family.


    ¡°The big shot from Divine Sword Academy heard that our young master Yang Chao has awakened the Green Phoenix Martial Soul and has made a special trip to the Yang Family Manor to take Yang Chao as his disciple!¡±


    ¡°Now the news has spread all over Xingyue City, and many masters havee to offer their congrattions. The old manor lord is grinning so widely he hasn¡¯t closed his mouth.¡±


    Several guards were talking animatedly.


    Yang Xiaotian heard them, but his expression remained unchanged.


    The next day.


    The sunshine was somewhat chilly.


    After Yang Xiaotian got up, he learned that his grandfather Yang Ming, his eldest uncle Yang Hai, and Yang Zhong had gone out early to wee the VIP from Divine Sword Academy.


    However, his grandfather didn¡¯t inform his father and him to join in the wee.


    In front of the main hall of Yang Family Manor, was the annual venue for the Yang Family n meeting.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the main hall with his parents and his younger sister Yang Ling¡¯er, the hall was already crowded with people.


    There was a buzz of cheerful conversations all around; the arrival of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s family went unnoticed.


    Yang Xiaotian looked over and saw that his grandfather and the experts from Xingyue City were all clustering around a silver-haired elder.


    This silver-haired elder was obviously the VIP from Divine Sword Academy.


    He found out from his father that this person was Chen Yuan, the vice president of Divine Sword Academy.


    The vice president of Divine Sword Academy was definitely a personage of high rank in Divine Sea Country; even the royal family of Divine Sea wouldn¡¯t dare to slight him, let alone the people of Xingyue City.


    A whileter, the Yang Family Manor¡¯s n meeting began.


    Yang Ming said to his grandson Yang Zhong with a face full of affection, ¡°Zhong¡¯er, go up there and show your strength, let Vice President Chen Yuan see the results of your recent cultivation.¡±


    Yang Zhong agreed, leapt up, andnded on the Martial Arts Stage in front of the hall. Then he circted his spiritual energy and released it from within his body.


    At once, his whole body radiated light.


    ¡°First tier peak!¡± Feeling the breath of Yang Zhong, many of the masters from Xingyue City were astonished.


    It had only been about twenty days since Yang Zhong had awakened his Martial Soul, and he had already broken through to the peak of the first tier.


    Even Chen Yuan was surprised and could not help but exim, ¡°The Green Phoenix is truly a top-tier level 10 Martial Soul.¡±


    The Green Phoenix Martial Soul was rare in Divine Sea Country, and that¡¯s exactly why he had made the long journey to Yang Family Manor.


    This child Yang Zhong had truly given him a pleasant surprise, breaking through to the peak of the first tier in less than twenty days!


    Such a speed of cultivation he had only seen in a few individuals.


    Hearing Chen Yuan¡¯s praise, both Yang Ming and Yang Hai¡¯s smiles broadened on their faces.


    At this point, Yang Zhong¡¯s gaze fell upon Yang Xiaotian in the crowd and he called out, ¡°Xiaotian, I know you have also been diligently cultivating behind closed doors these days. Do you dare toe up here and have a spar with me?¡±

    Suddenly, all eyes turned toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing Yang Zhong provocatively looking at him, Yang Xiaotian leaped up andnded on the Martial Arts Stage, ¡°Why would I be afraid?¡±


    Chen Yuan, finding Yang Xiaotian interesting, smiled and asked Yang Ming, ¡°Who is this child?¡±


    Yet Yang Ming looked embarrassed and made an awkward noise.


    Next to him, Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch of Xingyue City, said to Chen Yuan with a smile, ¡°Elder Chen Yuan, this child is Yang Xiaotian, also the grandson of Yang Ming, and he awakened his Martial Soul on the same day as Yang Zhong.¡± He paused and then added, ¡°However, Yang Xiaotian awakened a second-level Tortoise Martial Soul!¡±


    Second-level Tortoise Martial Soul!


    Li Guang¡¯s voice was loud, and a wave ofughter spread through the crowd.


    Chen Yuan was taken aback and shook his head.


    Yang Ming¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment, feeling humiliated.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian on the Martial Arts Stage, he found him increasingly displeasing to the eye.


    On the stage, Yang Zhong, seeing that his provocation had worked and Yang Xiaotian had indeed stepped up,ughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, summon your Martial Soul. I¡¯ve spared you for a few days, and as an elder brother, I¡¯ll let you make the first move.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, hearing this, did not hold back. However, he did not summon his Martial Soul and instead closed the gap to Yang Zhong with a swift movement, throwing a punch.


    This punch, without using any inner strength or Fighting Spirit, was fast. Yang Zhong couldn¡¯t react in time and took the punch squarely.


    Yang Zhong stumbled backward, clutching his left eye, his face twisted in pain. Pointing at Yang Xiaotian, he eximed, ¡°You!¡± But before he could finish, his right eye was struck by another punch from Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Zhong stumbled back repeatedly, tears streaming down from the pain.


    This turn of events stunned everyone present.


    Seeing Yang Zhong being hit, Yang Ming¡¯s face hardened with anger, and he scolded, ¡°Toy such a heavy hand on your own brother, that¡¯s disgraceful!¡±


    Just as he finished speaking, Yang Zhong roared and, with a fierce look, unleashed both fists towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart, attacking with all his might.


    ¡°Xiaotian, watch out!¡± Yang Chao¡¯s face changed as he shouted without thinking.


    Watching Yang Zhong¡¯s frenzied attack, Yang Xiaotian merely sidestepped lightly, avoiding the assault, and then once againunched a punch. This time, he employed the strength of a first-level warrior¡¯s Fighting Spirit.


    Boom!


    Yang Zhong was sent crashing to the ground.


    ¡°What?!¡±


    The spectators were all taken aback by what they saw.


    ¡°This is Fighting Spirit, the power of a first-level warrior!¡± Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch, and many other experts of Xingyue City were shocked as they watched Yang Xiaotian.


    Wasn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian a second-level Martial Soul? In less than a month, he had broken through to the first level and be a first-level warrior?


    Even Chen Yuan from Divine Sword Academy was greatly surprised.


    A breakthrough to the first level in less than a month, some disciples of Divine Sword Academy might not be able to achieve it, right?


    At that moment, a figure shed, rushing onto the Martial Arts Stage. It was Yang Ming, who, looking angrily at Yang Xiaotian, used, ¡°You¡¯ve reached the first level so quickly, did you secretly eat the family¡¯s Dragon-Tiger Elixir?¡±


    Some days ago, he had spent a great deal to purchase a Dragon-Tiger Elixir. Now, seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sudden breakthrough, he subconsciously thought that Yang Xiaotian had stealthily swallowed the elixir he had obtained. Otherwise, with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s second-level Martial Soul, how could he possibly have made such a rapid breakthrough?


    ¡°I did not,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied when his grandfather questioned him angrily.


    Hearing this, Yang Ming shouted, ¡°Still trying to argue your way out!¡± Then, he ordered the old steward Yang Lin, ¡°Quick, check that Dragon-Tiger Elixir.¡±


    The old steward Yang Lin respectfully acknowledged the order and retreated.


    At this, Yang Hai stepped forward angrily, ¡°He must have stolen and eaten the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Chao couldn¡¯t restrain his anger, retorting, ¡°Big brother, which eye of yours saw Xiaotian steal the Dragon-Tiger Elixir?¡±


    While the two argued, old steward Yang Lin returned. He nced at Yang Xiaotian, approached Yang Ming, and reported, ¡°Manor Lord, the Dragon-Tiger Elixir is still intact.¡±


    Yang Ming was stunned.


    Chen Yuan from Divine Sword Academy suddenly stepped forward, facing Yang Xiaotian, and asked, ¡°Child, can you summon your Martial Soul for me to see?¡±


    If Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t consumed the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, then how could he have advanced so rapidly to the first level?


    He found this strange.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment but eventually summoned his Martial Soul.


    Suddenly, a giant tortoise appeared before everyone.


    A wave of snickers andughter spread across the crowd.


    Chen Yuan, who had some expectations, was greatly disappointed when he saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Giant Tortoise Martial Soul. Though he didn¡¯t know how the child had been cultivating, the Martial Soul before him was indeed of the second level.


    ¡°Elder Chen Yuan, what do you think?¡± Yang Ming asked anxiously.


    Chen Yuan shook his head and exined to Yang Ming and the others, ¡°It¡¯s a second-level top-tier ck Iron Giant Turtle, and that little ck Snake is the second-level ck Water Snake, parasitic Martial Souls that coexist as one.¡±


    Yang Ming, who had hoped for a miracle, was instantly disheartened upon hearing this.


    Who was Chen Yuan? The Vice President of Divine Sword Academy, with immense insight. If even he judged it to be a second-level Martial Soul, then it undoubtedly was.


    Yang Hai, Yang Zhong, and the others were secretly pleased to hear that Yang Xiaotian possessed a second-level parasitic Martial Soul.


    Yang Xiaotian observed the expressions of Yang Ming, Yang Hai, Yang Zhong, and the rest.


    Second-level parasitic Martial Soul?


    Parasitic Martial Soul, he knew, meant that only the main Martial Soul could devour Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth, with the other one being utterly useless.


    Yet both his Martial Souls could devour Spiritual Energy, which alone made it impossible for them to be parasitic.


    And as for being second-level? That was even less likely.


    He had broken through four levels within twenty days, how could he possibly have just a second-level Martial Soul?


    Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian did not speak out to rify.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian as a second-level Martial Soul and no longer interested, Chen Yuan turned his attention away and asked Yang Zhong to summon his Martial Soul. Instantly, a gigantic bird covered in mes appeared before everyone.


    ¡°Indeed, the Ancient Mythical Beast Green Phoenix!¡± Chen Yuan, gazing upon the giant bird, couldn¡¯t help but admire it before smiling at Yang Zhong, ¡°Yang Zhong, would you like to be my disciple?¡±


    Yang Ming and Yang Hai were overjoyed at hearing this.


    ¡°Disciple pays respect to the master,¡± Yang Zhong hurriedly bowed, respectfully responding.


    ¡°Good, good!¡± Chen Yuanughed heartily, content that his long journey to the Yang Family Manor wasn¡¯t in vain, now that he could take a tenth-level top-tier Martial Soul disciple under his wing.

    Trantor: 549690339


    The people of Xingyue City, upon seeing Chen Yuan take Yang Zhong as his disciple, gathered around and congratted Chen Yuan, Yang Ming, and Yang Hai.


    Amidst the packed Martial Arts Stage, Yang Xiaotian and his father withdrew from the stage.


    Nobody paid attention to their departure.


    Half a dayter, the annual meeting ended.


    In his room, Yang Zhong, rubbing his still somewhat sore eyes, thought of the day¡¯s events and grew increasingly resentful, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, once I return from Divine Sword Academy during the summer break, I definitely won¡¯t let you off!¡±


    Tomorrow, Chen Yuan would take him to Divine Sword Academy for cultivation, with both Divine Sword Academy¡¯s and Chen Yuan¡¯s training, he would soon break through to the second, third, or even fourth tier!


    When he returned to Yang Family Manor in half a year, he would settle the score with Yang Xiaotian.


    The next day.


    The snow had stopped.


    Under the joyful and respectful send-off of everyone at Yang Family Manor, Chen Yuan set off with Yang Zhong, leaving the Yang Family Manor behind.


    Before leaving, Yang Zhong harshly said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°When Ie back during the summer break, I will challenge you to a duel.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the fiercely resentful Yang Zhong, replied, ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for you. Don¡¯t end up getting beaten by a single move and crying again.¡±


    Chen Yuan, who heard this from the side, shook his head and chuckled, considering Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words as mere childish ignorance.


    With his and Divine Sword Academy¡¯s training, his disciple Yang Zhong would undoubtedly break through to the fourth tier in half a year. How could Yang Xiaotian, with his Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, possibly be a match for his disciple?


    In half a year, Yang Xiaotian would certainly not be able to withstand a single move from his disciple.


    Eventually, Yang Zhong and Chen Yuan disappeared from the view of the people of the Yang family.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s life returned to its previous tranquility.


    As before, he cultivated without stepping out of his home.


    Sitting cross-legged on the bed in his room, Yang Xiaotian circted the Prajna Skill, and soon, the ck Tortoise Divine Beast Martial Soul appeared once again.


    After days of cultivation, both the ck Tortoise Divine Beast Martial Soul and the ck Snake Martial Spirit had undergone some changes. The ck Snake¡¯s body had be shinier and grew some scales, while on the massive shell of the ck Tortoise, faint patterns had emerged.


    These patterns were extremely profound.


    As the ck Tortoise Divine Beast and ck Snake devoured the nature¡¯s spiritual energy, it continuously transformed into Fighting Spirit within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Boom!


    A faint, clear sound rang inside his body.


    Yang Xiaotian, who was already at the peak of the fourth tier, finally made another breakthrough and stepped into the fifth tier.


    Upon breaking into the fifth tier, another line of patterns appeared on the shell of the Giant Tortoise, and the patterns grew deeper, no longer faintly visible as before.


    As for the ck Snake, its scales became even darker and shinier, and it had grown significantlyrger.


    By the time daylight came, Yang Xiaotian stopped the Martial Soul cultivation and started practicing the Taiji Scripture in the courtyard.


    The Taiji Scripture was a profound inner strength cultivation technique, whichplemented Fighting Spirit and also strengthened the body. He persistently practiced it every day.


    Several more days passed.


    The end of the year was approaching.


    The snowfall grew even heavier.


    This year¡¯s snow was heavier than in previous years.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the drifting snowkes, furrowed his brows tightly.


    These past few days, rumors had been swirling around Yang Family Manor, saying that he was able to break through a tier so quickly because his father, while previously managing the family¡¯s silk business, had embezzled from the family¡¯s funds and used them to buy Spirit Pills for his cultivation.


    Spirit Pills were far superior to Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, but they came with a hefty price tag.


    With these rumors spreading, the face of his grandfather was bing increasingly unsightly.


    Although his father and mother had exined many times, his grandfather simply did not believe them.


    ¡°`


    These rumors and nders must have been the work of his uncle Yang Hai.


    Thinking of his parents¡¯ worried and sighing demeanors these days, Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly.


    As Yang Xiaotian was lost in thought, he saw his younger sister Yang Ling¡¯er bouncing in excitedly, ¡°Brother, father and mother asked me to call you over.¡±


    ¡°Call me for what?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile, seeing the girl¡¯s happy demeanor.


    ¡°The New Year is just a few days away, father and mother bought us new clothes, they want you toe and try them on,¡± the little girl saidughingly, then she lowered her voice, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a secret, there¡¯s lots of yummy treats, there are pastries from Rice Flower Vige, nuts from Huaguo Mountain, and taffy.¡±


    Whether it was the pastries from Rice Flower Vige or the nuts from Huaguo Mountain, both were the siblings¡¯ favorites.


    Seeing the little girl drooling, Yang Xiaotianughed.


    The siblings chattered andughed their way to the front hall.


    Huang Ying, seeing the siblings entering, smiled warmly at both. She beckoned Yang Xiaotian over and said with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian,e here, your mother bought you new clothes, try them on to see if they fit.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian approached his mother and put on the New Year¡¯s clothes she had bought for him.


    The new clothes were lined with cotton, very warm andfortable.


    Huang Ying looked at her son Yang Xiaotian, her emotions mixed. She had seen how hard her son had been practicing these days, and she felt both heartache and pride.


    As parents, of course, she hoped her son would achieve great things in the future.


    Yet, thinking of her son¡¯s Martial Soul, she sighed inwardly.


    In the Martial Soul World, there has never been a second-level Martial Soul that became an Innate Expert.


    ¡°Mother, where¡¯s father?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Your father has been called over by your grandfather,¡± replied Huang Ying with a smile, ¡°he said he has something for your father to do.¡±


    Something for father to do?


    Yang Xiaotian was puzzled.


    Ever since he awakened the Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, his grandfather had been extremely cold towards his father, not allowing him to meddle in any affairs of the Yang Family Manor. And now he was being tasked with a job?


    This was very abnormal.


    Just then, Yang Xiaotian saw his father return with a somber face.


    ¡°Chao, what did father ask you to do?¡± Huang Ying also noticed the change in Yang Chao¡¯s expression and went up to ask.


    ¡°A few days ago, the minerals my elder brother was escorting to Heavenly Sword Manor got robbed by ck Wind Stronghold,¡± Yang Chao said gravely, ¡°Elder brother and father have asked me to go to ck Wind Stronghold and retrieve them.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Huang Ying was infuriated, ¡°The minerals were lost by your elder brother, but father isn¡¯t asking him to retrieve them, instead he sends you. ck Wind Stronghold is filled with murderous bandits, isn¡¯t this like sending you to your death?!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian also felt his blood boil.


    ¡°Did you agree to it?¡± Huang Ying pressed Yang Chao further.


    Yang Chao remained silent.


    Seeing her husband¡¯s expression, Huang Ying knew the answer, and she burst into tears, ¡°If something really happens to you, what will Xiaotian, Ling¡¯er, and I do as widows and orphans?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go find father!¡±


    As Huang Ying was about to go and find her father-inw, Yang Chao eximed, ¡°Stop!¡± He then said, ¡°Father mentioned that I should take ten thousand gold to ck Wind Stronghold to ransom the minerals. The minerals aren¡¯t much use in the hands of ck Wind Stronghold; they should agree to the trade.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, father said if I can retrieve the minerals and deliver them to Heavenly Sword Manor on time, he will let me manage the mines together with elder brother.¡±


    Still teary-eyed, Huang Ying said, ¡°But what if ck Wind Stronghold doesn¡¯t agree? If they know you have ten thousand gold, they might kill you and everyone from Yang Family Manor who goes with you!¡±


    Yang Chao hesitated, then replied, ¡°The leader of ck Wind Stronghold is an Innate Expert of the fourth level, same as me; he can¡¯t harm me. Don¡¯t worry, if we see the situation turn sour, we¡¯ll fight our way out. There won¡¯t be any problems.¡±


    But was it really so?


    ck Wind Stronghold was home to more than one Innate Expert. Although their leader was of the fourth Innate level, the stronghold itself had fourteen Innate Experts! And ck Wind Stronghold boasted four to five hundred people.


    If youpared the overall strength, Yang Family Manor was weaker than ck Wind Stronghold.


    Moreover, for this trip, Yang Chao could only take twenty people; if negotiations broke down, it was uncertain whether they could fight their way out of ck Wind Stronghold.

    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian returned to his room with the New Year clothes his mother had bought for him.


    Looking at the Rice Flower Vige pastries his mother had stuffed into his hands, Yang Xiaotian found them hard to swallow.


    Because after the New Year, his father would have to go to ck Wind Stronghold.


    ¡°Innate realm fourth level, fourteen Innates,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.


    He had already learned from his parents about the general situation of ck Wind Stronghold; only by making a breakthrough to the Innate realm could he be of any help to his father.


    But now, with less than ten days left until the New Year, even if his cultivation speed was fast, even if he possessed two Supreme Martial Spirits, it was impossible for him to cultivate to the Innate level.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knit, and in his restlessness, he went to the mountain behind his home to practice the Taiji Scripture, executing each move gracefully and eventually entering a state of self-forgetfulness.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Taiji Scripture, suddenly, something hit his forehead.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but stop and hold his throbbing forehead; looking up, he saw a golden Golden Armored Beast in the distance, which had appeared at some point.


    The Golden Armored Beast, resembling Earth¡¯s pangolin with its body covered in golden scales, was not strong in attack but had strong defense and was quick and agile.


    With a pinecone in its hand, the Golden Armored Beast, having hit Yang Xiaotian, covered its mouth and giggled, infuriating Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°White Crane Spreads Wings!¡± Yang Xiaotian charged forward, throwing a punch with his Taiji Fist.


    But the nimble little guy dodged Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attack and stood about ten meters away, shaking its rear at him.


    Yang Xiaotian, infuriated, chased after it again. Although his Fighting Spirit and inner strength were not weak, he still failed to catch it.


    In this way, man and beast chased one another, unwittingly entering deep into the mountains.


    Atst, the Golden Armored Beast arrived at an inconspicuous mountain, slipped through the wild grass, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xiaotian also went through the wild grass and found a small cave behind it.


    This small cave was very hidden,pletely invisible from outside.


    Looking at the dark small cave in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, then walked in.


    The cave was deeper than he had imagined; he walked for a while and still did not see the end. The cave was dimly lit, and Yang Xiaotian could only vaguely see a few meters ahead.


    After about a hundred or two hundred meters, just as Yang Xiaotian was thinking about turning back, he saw the Golden Armored Beast emerge from somewhere and beckon to him.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a brief moment, then followed.


    After a while, the cave branched off into many pathways.


    The Golden Armored Beast led Yang Xiaotian through the maze-like cave, moving continuously forward.


    After passing through over a dozen forks, light appeared ahead. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian hurried forward and upon reaching the light, was stunned by what he saw.


    He found himself halfway up a mountain, facing a small mountain valley that was filled with the chirping of birds and fragrant flowers, a veritable paradise.


    At that moment, the Golden Armored Beast was at the bottom of the small valley, gesturing to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian gritted his teeth, gathered his inner strength, and leaped downward to the valley floor. Hended on a tree branch and used the recoil to jump onto another branch. After several such moves, he finallynded at the bottom of the valley.


    The valley was very spacious, probably spanning several thousand square meters, filled with various fruit trees, and covered with various flowers and medicinal herbs, exuding pleasant fragrances.


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    At this time, the Golden Armored Beast climbed a fruit tree, took a bite of a fruit, and then plucked another one and tossed it to Yang Xiaotian. Catching it, Yang Xiaotian bit into the lush, dripping fruit, delighting in the sweetness and the warm flow of juice that brought an overwhelming sense offort through his body!


    After eating one fruit, Yang Xiaotian quickly sat down cross-legged and started to circte his Prajna Skill.


    Several hourster, he had finally refined the power of the Spirit Fruit, discovering that both his internal strength and Fighting Spirit had greatly advanced, equivalent to several days of rigorous training.


    This pleasant surprise exceeded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expectations.


    With these fruits, it was possible he could break through to the Innate level before the new year.


    Although the hope was still slim, at least there was a glimmer of hope.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to continue consuming the fruits to cultivate, he saw the Golden Armored Beast point towards something in front of them.


    Yang Xiaotian looked and saw an opening in the cliff face ahead; this opening was different from the previous one and seemed to have been lived in by someone.


    After a moment of thought, Yang Xiaotian leaped to the entrance and walked in, while the Golden Armored Beast stood outside the entrance with a face full of dread, as if there was something terrifying inside the cave.


    Seeing the Golden Armored Beast¡¯s expression, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of suspicion in his heart. He carefully advanced into the cave and, after crossing a small path several meters long, arrived at arge hall of dozens of square meters with four rooms on the side.


    Four fist-sized night pearls were embedded in the four walls of the hall, illuminating the entire space as if it were daylight.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished; he hadn¡¯t expected this humble cave to contain a heaven within a hole. After making sure there was no danger, he went into the first room.


    The first room contained nothing but a Cold Jade Bed.


    When Yang Xiaotian entered the second room, he saw a stone table, with two books ced upon it, and an Ancient Sword stuck next to it.


    Yang Xiaotian flipped through one of the books and saw it was titled ¡°Primordial Dragon Art.¡± As he read further, his excitement grew; ording to the book, the Primordial Dragon Art was the most top-level Cultivation Technique of the Ancient Dragon n.


    After practicing it, one would not only possess a powerful body like the Ancient Dragon n but also wield the True Dragon Power.


    Although Yang Xiaotian did not know the exact level of this Cultivation Technique, since the Dragon n was among the highest tier of Divine Beasts in Heaven and Earth, the Primordial Dragon Art, as the top-level technique of the Ancient Dragon n, must be incredibly potent.


    Having finished flipping through the book, Yang Xiaotian struggled to calm his excitement. The book imed that the Primordial Dragon Art was extremely domineering and required a Beast Martial Soul of the same level as the Ancient Dragon n in order to cultivate it.


    He possessed the ck Tortoise Divine Beast Martial Soul, which was perfectly suited to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    After calming himself down, Yang Xiaotian opened the second book.


    The second book was a Swordsmanship manual titled ¡°Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.¡±


    This Heaven-Prating Sword Technique was the prestigious secret art of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, a superpower in the Martial Soul World.


    And the sword was one of the top ten Divine Swords of the Martial Soul World, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    After looking through the book, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.


    There was a piece of paper filled with writing inside the book, a note left by Hong Feng, the previous Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    This cave was where he secluded himself for cultivation years ago.


    ording to him, the entrance of the cave was protected by a Formation he had set up; only a person with a Supreme Martial Spirit could enter and inherit the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique and Primordial Dragon Art, thus bing his sessor.


    ¡°Supreme Martial Spirit?¡± Yang Xiaotian mused to himself.


    Martial Spirits from level eleven to thirteen were considered Super Martial Spirits, while a fourteenth-level Martial Spirit was known as a Supreme Martial Spirit.


    Now that he was able to enter the cave,


    This meant his Martial Soul was at least level fourteen!


    It might even be a dual level fourteen Martial Soul.

    ¡°`


    Upon learning that he might be the owner of a Dual Supreme Martial Spirit, Yang Xiaotian could barely contain his excitement.


    If he truly possessed a Dual Supreme Martial Spirit, then wouldn¡¯t he be capable of attaining godhood, or even surpassing it!


    ¡°He who masters my Heaven-Prating Sword Technique will be my sessor, Hong Feng¡¯s chosen heir. Strive hard in your practice, fully cultivate the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, and take charge of my Heaven-Prating Divine Sect!¡±


    ¡°I, Hong Feng, once wielded the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, sweeping across the Martial Soul World undefeated!¡±


    ¡°May you live up to my esteemed name,¡±


    Hong Feng said in the message.


    After reading this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart was profoundly shaken.


    Sweeping across the Martial Soul World undefeated!


    How powerful must Hong Feng have been!


    The might of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword seemed to far exceed his imagination.


    Following the method described by Hong Feng, he cut his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, then recited the incantation silently. Immediately, he felt a flesh-and-blood connection with the sword.


    When he drew the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, a terrifying Sword Qi soared into the sky, instantly altering the color of heaven and earth.


    The Nine Heavens were sted open with a massive hole.


    The entirety of Xingyue City, as well as the whole Divine Sea Country, felt this frightening Sword Qi.


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, the Sword Qi from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword disappeared as if it were an illusion.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian breathe a sigh of relief.


    He silently recited the sword incantation, and the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword immediately turned into a beam of light that merged into his right forearm, where an image of the Divine Sword appeared as a tattoo.


    From now on, as he cultivated the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword wouldpletely integrate into his body. Then, even without summoning the sword, he could unleash myriad Sword Qi.


    After securing the Primordial Dragon Art, he moved on to the third room.


    The third room was filled with various Cultivation Technique Manuals.


    These were all collected by Hong Feng during his travels across the world.


    However, Yang Xiaotian already had the Primordial Dragon Art, and although the other techniques were good, they were of no use to him.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, the fourth room contained a Medicine Cauldron. There was a line of text left by Hong Feng on it, which he approached to read.


    It turned out that this Medicine Cauldron, acquired by Hong Feng from a dangerous ce in the Martial Soul World, was so unique that even he did not know its name. It could change in size, and had multiplepartments within, suitable for storing medicinal herbs and other items.


    Yang Xiaotian was delighted. This unnamed Medicine Cauldron was like an ultimate travel bag. With it, his future travels would be much more convenient.


    Doing as Hong Feng instructed, he dripped blood to refine the Medicine Cauldron and, with a thought, it shrank continuously until it became a ring that he wore on the ring finger of his left hand, indistinguishable from an ordinary ring to the uninformed.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian looked at the walls, which were covered with bookshelves filled with various Secret Tomes.


    He stepped forward to browse, and they were all Alchemy Secret Manuals.


    Bing an Alchemist was an extremely noble profession in the Martial Soul World.


    Much more prestigious than martial artists.


    However, bing an Alchemist required extremely stringent conditions: one must not only be intimately familiar with various medicinal herbs but also be able to control Heaven and Earth Fire and have an exceptionally strong spiritual sensitivity.


    Every single condition was indispensable.


    This was why Alchemists were so rare in the Martial Soul World. Even the Yang Family Manor could not cultivate an Alchemist over many years.


    In the whole Xingyue City, only the City Lord¡¯s Mansion had an Alchemist, and that was just a one-star.


    Still, they were esteemed as honored guests by the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    ¡°I wonder if there is a method here for concocting Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    After some searching, at the bottom of a bookshelf, he did indeed find the method to concoct Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Looking at the detailed introduction on concocting Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.


    If he could concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid,bined with the fruits outside for cultivation, his power would undoubtedly advance even faster, and he would have an eighty to ny percent certainty of breaking through to the Innate Realm before the new year.


    He read carefully, then located the fourteen kinds of medicinal materials required for concocting Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in the valley¡¯s medicinal garden, and ced them one by one into the Medicine Cauldron.


    Next, following the method described in the book, Yang Xiaotian began to sense the surrounding Heaven and Earth Fire.


    This step was the most difficult, as due to individual differences in souls, the vast majority of people were unable to sense the Heaven and Earth Fire.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    However, it didn¡¯t take long for Yang Xiaotian to sense the Heaven and Earth Fire stirring all around him.


    This Heaven and Earth Fire was abundant in the vicinity, resembling a sea of fire, boundless and endless.


    The previously tense and uneasy Yang Xiaotian was stunned.


    This is the Heaven and Earth Fire?!


    But wasn¡¯t it said in the books that many alchemists could sense the presence of Heaven and Earth Fire within only a few meters around them the first time?


    Now, the range he could sense was surely over a hundred meters!


    He couldn¡¯t believe it, and as he tried to draw the fire with his spiritual power, instantly, the Heaven and Earth Fire converged into a stream, merging into the medicine cauldron.


    In alchemy, the heat mustn¡¯t be too strong, or the herbs would instantly turn to ashes, nor too weak, for if it¡¯s too gentle, the herbs won¡¯t melt properly.


    As Yang Xiaotian nervously controlled the Heaven and Earth Fire, the fourteen types of herbs began to melt one by one through calcination, eventually forming a small, lively tuft of cyan liquid.


    Staring at the cyan liquid in the cauldron, Yang Xiaotian was dumbfounded.


    The Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, just like that, it was refined?


    It seemed, not that difficult, huh.


    For the Pharmacist Hall to assess a one-star alchemist, one only needed to sessfully concoct a batch of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid within three hours.


    He had taken less than an hour.


    Doesn¡¯t that mean he already qualifies as an alchemist?


    Yang Xiaotian still couldn¡¯t believe the content of the cauldron was Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed it.


    Instantly, a warm current surged through his body.


    He attempted to circte the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Tortoise and ck Snake Martial Spirit appeared, and above the vast sky, an endless stream of nature¡¯s spiritual energy cascaded down at a speed many times faster than when he previously cultivated the Prajna Skill.


    The medicinal power of the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was continuously transformed into Fighting Spirit within his meridians.


    Soon, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid waspletely refined.


    When Yang Xiaotian ceased cultivating, he found that he had reached thete phase of the fifth rank within the Acquired Realm.


    He was both shocked and delighted.


    The Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid he had concocted was certainly genuine, and it was definitely not of ordinary quality, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have had such an effective medicinal power.


    The same elixir, with different qualities, naturally yielded different effects, ranging from low to high: inferior, low, medium, high, superior, with top grade above superior.


    The batch of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid he just made was most likely high grade, or possibly even superior.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the herbs in the valley, his emotions surging. With these herbs, he could continuously concoct Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, and there was hope of breaking through to the Innate Realm before the New Year.


    When Yang Xiaotian emerged from the cave, he found that it had grownpletely dark, which scared him into hurrying back to the Yang Family Manor. Indeed, upon returning to the Yang Family Manor, his parents had been sending people out to look for him for a while.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian received a spank with a stick.


    However,te at night after everyone in the Yang Family Manor had gone to bed, he snuck back to the valley to continue refining the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and cultivating.


    Thus, during the day Yang Xiaotian would practice the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique back at the Yang Family Manor, and at night, he would cultivate in the valley. asionally, he would venture deep into the mountains with the Golden Armored Beast to hunt fierce beasts, enhancing hisbat experience.


    After four days in a row, Yang Xiaotian made rapid progress, breaking through to the peak of the tenth rank.


    He was only one step away from the Innate Realm.


    In the courtyard of the Yang Family Manor, the swordy was spirited. Yang Xiaotian thrust his sword, and a sword hole appeared instantly on a stake ten meters away.


    Seeing the sword hole that was several inches deep, he nodded in satisfaction.


    The Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, true to its reputation as one of the top ten sword techniques in the world. Although he was only in the Acquired tenth rank, the power of that single thrust was such that many martial artists at the first level of the Innate Realm would struggle to withstand it.


    And that was only the weakest first move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    The Heaven-Prating Sword Technique had a total of forty-nine moves, with the power increasingly formidable as one progresses further.


    Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian pondered over the Innate Realm but was troubled, as after breaking through to the tenth rank, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid¡¯s effect had greatly diminished. At the current rate, even if he kept persistently cultivating with the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, it would take at least six to seven days to break through to the Innate Realm.


    But the New Year was just around the corner, and his father was about to set off for the ck Wind Stronghold.


    He couldn¡¯t wait that long.


    What should he do?


    ¡°`

 Chapter 9 - 9 It was me who found it first

    9 Chapter 9 It was me who found it first


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°To break through to the Innate level before the New Year, one would need an Innate Spirit Pill!¡±


    But he was still unable to refine an Innate Spirit Pill.


    Because only an Innate Expert could refine it.


    Where could he find an Innate Spirit Pill?


    Moreover, an Innate Spirit Pill would cost at least ten thousand gold.


    He didn¡¯t have that much money to buy one.


    Besides, Innate Spirit Pills were rare; they weren¡¯t sold in Xingyue City or the surrounding cities at all.


    What a headache!


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to slip out of the Yang Family Manor, he noticed that the number of patrolling guards had doubledpared to usual, which he found odd.


    After overhearing the guards¡¯ conversation, Yang Xiaotian learned that a fugitive wanted by the Imperial Court had made his way to Xingyue City.


    This man was named Hu Lie, cruel and ruthless, who had ughtered a household of dozens; moreover, while fleeing, he had killed several patrolmen and an Alchemist.


    The man was not weak, a secondyer Innate expert.


    No wonder Yang Family Manor was so well-guarded.


    Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t pay much attention to it.


    If he really encountered Hu Lie, he actually wanted to use him to test his current strength.


    After leaving Yang Family Manor, Yang Xiaotian took his usual route towards the valley.


    However, not long after entering the dense forest, Yang Xiaotian suddenly saw a man leaning against arge tree in the distance. He instantly realized something was off and looked closely, only to see that the man had a face full of beard, his robe was somewhat tattered, and it was stained with lots of blood.


    Just then, Hu Lie also realized someone was there and abruptly stood up, turning his head towards Yang Xiaotian. Instantly, a ferocious aura rushed towards him.


    However, when he saw that Yang Xiaotian was just a child of seven or eight years old, he was taken aback. But then, with a murderous look in his eyes, he lifted his heavy de and walked towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, it¡¯s just your bad luck to run into me.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just one slice, it¡¯ll be quick, and you won¡¯t feel any pain!¡±


    Hu Lie¡¯s de was indeed swift.


    In the space of a breath, the de had already reached in front of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s neck.


    Just when Hu Lie was sure that the de would chop off the head of the child before him, suddenly, the figure in front of him shed, and his de missed its target.


    Immediately after, a powerful force of a fist exploded from beneath his ribs.


    Hu Lie had no time to dodge and was struck in the ribs by a fist.


    Bang!


    The sound of breaking bones resounded.


    He was sent flying several meters back.


    Stabilizing himself, Hu Lie felt the pain at his ribs and looked in disbelief at the child in front of him: ¡°Tenth-orderte-stage peak?¡±


    This child was actually an Acquired peak master!


    He had traveled all over the ce, been to more than a dozen kingdoms, and seen many talents, but this was the first time he had encountered a seven or eight-year-oldte-stage peak master.


    This is Xingyue City of Divine Sea Country, isn¡¯t it? Divine Sea Country has produced such a monstrous talent?


    ¡°May I know which family this young brother belongs to?¡± Hu Lie¡¯s thoughts raced, and he pretended to smile amicably, ¡°I mean no harm. I am here to visit rtives and by chance was robbed on the way here. I thought you were one of the robbersing after me.¡±


    While speaking, Hu Lie gradually moved closer to Yang Xiaotian without a trace.


    Seeing through the other¡¯s intentions, Yang Xiaotian was well aware. So, when Hu Lie suddenly burst forward to strike him again, the Heaven-Prating Sword appeared in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, and he thrust it out instantly.


    A speck of sword light pierced the darkness.


    Under the moonlight, the sword light was dazzlingly brilliant.


    Hu Lie felt a pain in his left eye and couldn¡¯t help but cover it and scream. Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword had just blinded his left eye.


    ¡°Sword Qi, how can you, an Acquired, have Sword Qi!¡± In the midst of his pain, Hu Lie looked at Yang Xiaotian in both shock and anger.


    Only an Innate Grandmaster could wield Sword Qi, yet Yang Xiaotian was clearly just an Acquired peak expert.


    ¡°Who told you that an Acquired can¡¯t use Sword Qi?¡± Seeing his sword strike a sess, Yang Xiaotian felt a weight lift from his heart.


    ¡°You little thing, so what if you can wield Sword Qi,¡± Hu Lie roared in fury, ¡°Today, you will die!¡± With that, a massive tiger Martial Soul appeared behind him.


    Then, tiger-striped patterns emerged all over his body, and his hands transformed into sharp ws, much like those of a tiger.


    This was the Transformation.


    Upon awakening one¡¯s Martial Soul, different Martial Souls possess different abilities. After Hu Lie¡¯s Transformation, he gained the speed and strength of a ferocious tiger.


    Hu Lie lunged at Yang Xiaotian once more.


    Under the moonlight, his ws glistened with a chilling radiance.


    Hu Lie¡¯s speed had increased by half from before.


    Transformation, huh?


    Seeing the opponent charging at him, Yang Xiaotian remained calm, his body surged with radiance, and patterns like those of the ck Tortoise¡¯s shell emerged on his skin.


    At the same time, a dark glow continuously emanated from his body,pletely merging him with the darkness.


    If Hu Lie could undergo Transformation, he could do it as well.


    Moreover, he possessed Twin Martial Spirits, which allowed him to undergo Dual Transformation.


    Yang Xiaotian thrust his sword out once again.


    This time, he executed the first technique of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    A sh of the sword so fast Hu Lie was utterly unable to track it.


    After his Transformation, Yang Xiaotian was as swift as a ghost, blending into the darkness, making it extremely difficult for the naked eye to perceive him.


    Hu Lie, who had just reached Yang Xiaotian, felt a pain in his throat and froze in ce, his eyes filled with shock, his expression incredulous as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.


    ¡°Dual Transformation, Twin Martial Spirits?¡± Hu Lie struggled to open his mouth as he fell, his throat¡¯s blood ceaselessly staining the ground red.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the lifeless Hu Lie and let out a sigh of relief.


    Simultaneously, he was inwardly ted. Under the Dual Transformation,bined with the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, the power was beyond his imagination.


    Seeing the bundle Hu Lie had dropped in the distance, something sparked in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind. He went over, opened it and found a martial arts Secret Tome, the ¡°Soul Severing de Technique.¡±


    Besides this martial arts tome, there were some gold pieces, a book of Alchemy insights, and a jade bottle.


    When Yang Xiaotian opened the jade bottle, the fragrance of the Elixir hit his nostrils, instantly invigorating his spirit.


    This is!


    He tipped his palm and saw two pills, crystal clear and emanating waves of Elixir fragrance,nd in his hand.


    These past few days, Yang Xiaotian had been flipping through Alchemy books in the valley cave, gaining a fair understanding of Elixirs. Seeing these two pills, he was tremendously pleased.


    ¡°Four Symbols Spirit Pill.¡±


    The Four Symbols Spirit Pill, like the Dragon-Tiger Elixir that his grandfather had once purchased at a high price, was an Innate Spirit Pill. However, the Four Symbols Spirit Pill was even harder to concoct, and the ingredients needed were more precious, making the pill¡¯s power superior.


    Yang Xiaotian recalled the guards at Yang Family Manor saying that Hu Lie had killed an Alchemist before. Could it be that these insight on Alchemy and the two Four Symbols Spirit Pills were acquired by Hu Lie from that Alchemist?


    Having been relentlessly pursued, Hu Lie presumably hadn¡¯t had the chance to consume them; now, they conveniently benefited Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian took everything in the bundle, not leaving behind the gold. With this gold, he would be able to buy many things in the future.


    Only a fool would refuse.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left, Yang Chao, who was patrolling the nearby area with the guards of Yang Family Manor, came by, and they were all astonished to see Hu Lie¡¯s corpse.


    They had all seen Hu Lie¡¯s portrait and recognized that the person killed was indeed the notorious criminal, Hu Lie.


    ¡°Such a powerful sword technique, killed with a single strike. Who could have killed Hu Lie?¡± one of the Yang Family Manor guards marveled with curiosity.


    ¡°To have killed Hu Lie, the person must be at least a third-level Innate expert,¡± Yang Chao spected, ¡°And undoubtedly a master swordsman.¡±


    At that moment, Yang Hai also arrived with his guards, and upon seeing the in Hu Lie, he was surprised yet secretly delighted. After all, the Imperial Court had put a bounty on Hu Lie¡¯s head worth three thousand gold pieces.


    With this thought, he rushed to sever Hu Lie¡¯s head with his sword.


    Just as Yang Hai was about to take the head away, Sun Hua, a guard following Yang Chao, mustered the courage to say, ¡°Great Manor Lord, Yang Chao was the first to discover Hu Lie. Wouldn¡¯t it be inappropriate for you to take the head?¡±


    Logically, even if the reward was to be imed, it should have been Yang Chao.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Hai abruptly pped Sun Hua across the face, shouting, ¡°Are you blind? Who said he found him first? It was clearly me who discovered him first.¡±

 Chapter 10 - 10 You and Your Son Are Just Alike

    10 Chapter 10 You and Your Son Are Just Alike


    Trantor: 549690339


    Sun Hua took a few steps back from the p, a clear imprint of five fingers on his face.


    Yang Chao¡¯s expression darkened. Sun Hua was his loyal subordinate, and not only had Yang Hai stolen Hu Lie¡¯s credit to im the reward, but he also took the opportunity to deliberately hurt his man.


    ¡°Big brother, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Yang Chao said in barely suppressed anger.


    ¡°Gone too far?¡± Yang Hai nced at Yang Chao and said, ¡°What, you want to fight for your subordinate? Yang Chao, don¡¯t me your elder brother for not reminding you, idents happen in a fight!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Chao grew furious and said, ¡°Fine, then let me experience your superior moves!¡± With that, he assumed a fighting stance.


    Seeing this, Yang Hai snorted coldly, set down Hu Lie¡¯s head, and without another word, he slid forward, closing the gap, and hurled a punch towards Yang Chao¡¯s chest.


    This punch was the Yang Family Manor¡¯s Fierce Tiger Killing Fist, and it was the strongest move of the technique.


    Yang Chao, in response, circted his Innate Qi and also threw a punch upwards.


    Boom!


    Their fists collided with each other.


    Yang Chao was knocked back several steps from the impact.


    Although both were at the fourth level of Innate, Yang Chao had just entered this level, while Yang Hai had long been in thete stages of the fourth level of Innate. In terms of True Yuan, Yang Hai had a clear advantage over Yang Chao.


    Yang Hai sneered and rushed forward again, his fists attacking Yang Chao relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.


    Under the continuous fierce attacks from Yang Hai, after more than a dozen moves, Yang Chao was driven to desperate straits.


    Just then, Yang Ming arrived with arge group of guards from a distance, and shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±


    ¡°Father,¡± Yang Hai hurriedly approached Yang Ming and said, ¡°I discovered Hu Lie first. My second brother wanted to snatch Hu Lie¡¯s head. He struck at me, and I had no choice but to fight back.¡±


    Yang Ming nced at Hu Lie¡¯s head in the distance and nodded.


    Yang Chao stepped forward to exin, ¡°Father, I discovered Hu Lie¡¯s body first. It was the big brother who¡­¡±


    ¡°Silence!¡± Yang Ming didn¡¯t wait to hear the rest and rebuked, ¡°Dare to quibble? For a mere Hu Lie¡¯s head, you turned on your brother. You and your son are just the same.¡±


    It was clear that Yang Ming still remembered how Yang Xiaotian had hurt his beloved grandson, Yang Zhong, at the family¡¯s annualpetition.


    ¡°Go back and reflect on where you went wrong!¡± Yang Ming coldly huffed at Yang Chao and then left with Yang Hai and the guards.


    Yang Chao stood still, watching his father Yang Ming¡¯s retreating figure, his expression grim.


    ¡°Second Manor Lord, are you alright?¡± a few Yang Family Manor guards came up to Sun Hua and asked with concern.


    Yang Chao looked at them, feeling a warmth in his heart, and shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Sun Hua said indignantly, ¡°It was clearly the Great Manor Lord who stole the Second Manor Lord¡¯s reward. Not only did the Manor Lord not listen to your exnation, Second Manor Lord, but he also scolded you.¡±


    ¡°The Manor Lord is too biased towards the Great Manor Lord.¡±


    Yang Chao looked up with a sigh and fell silent.


    Since his Martial Soul was not as good as his big brother¡¯s, his father had favored his older brother since childhood. Now with Yang Zhong awakening a top-tier level 10 Martial Soul, his father¡¯s favoritism towards his big brother and Yang Zhong grew even stronger.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back too.¡± Yang Chao¡¯s voice was somewhat dejected.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian had arrived at the mountain valley cave abode and sat down on the Cold Jade Bed, swallowing a Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Immediately, the strength of the Spirit Pill turned into rolling waves of heat.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly began to practice the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The force of the Spirit Pill was continuously converted into Fighting Spirit within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    As the Fighting Spirit in his body grew stronger and stronger, suddenly, there was a booming sound inside Yang Xiaotian. The barrier of Innate was finally broken through.


    At this moment, all the Fighting Spirit in his meridians converged at the Dantian, swirling and condensing into a massive cyclone.


    Several hourster, Yang Xiaotian stopped.


    Peering into his Dantian at therge cyclone, his face lit up with joy.


    After breaking through from the Acquired realm to the Innate realm, a cyclone would form in the Dantian.


    This meant that he had indeed sessfully stepped into the realm of the Innate.


    Once one steps into the Innate, in the Martial Soul World, one¡¯s status ispletely transformed, with a sky-high difference between Innate and Acquired realms.


    In ces like Yang Family Manor, Acquired masters could only serve as guards, whereas an Innate Grandmaster would be an esteemed guest.


    In the entire Yang Family Manor, there were only seven Innate Grandmasters.


    However, the cyclone in his own Dantian was somewhatrge; typically, an Innate Grandmaster¡¯s cyclone would only be the size of a fist, but his was several meters across.


    But therger the cyclone, the more profound the True Qi.


    This was a great thing.


    Yang Xiaotian emerged from his cave dwelling and came to an open space in the valley, holding the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword and again performing the first move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    ¡°One Sword Yin Yang!¡±


    Instantly, a stream of Sword Qi shot from the tip of the sword, and then the Sword Qi suddenly split in two, swiftly prating the mountain wall in the distance, creating two startling sword holes tens of meters apart on the wall.


    Previously, when he was still in the Acquired realm, Yang Xiaotian could unleash only one stream of Sword Qi with this move, unable to split it into two, so he could not bring out the true power of the technique.


    Now, having entered the Innate realm, he could finally unleash the full power of this move.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian took out the Heaven-Prating Secret Manual and flipped to the second move; now that he had entered the Innate realm, he could practice it.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian memorized the second move in his mind. However, he was not in a rush to practice. Instead, he mentally rehearsed it before executing the move with his sword.


    He practiced the sword technique for a while, and as the sky began to brighten, Yang Xiaotian hurried back to Yang Family Manor.


    Upon returning to Yang Family Manor, he did not sleep but took out Hu Lie¡¯s Soul Severing de Technique to study.


    ording to the book, the Soul Severing de Technique was an Innate martial arts technique from the Soul Severing Sect of the neighboring Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly went through the Soul Severing de Technique and then, using a tree branch as a substitute for a de, practiced in the courtyard; the Soul Severing de Technique consisted of sixty-four moves, and Yang Xiaotian practiced from the first move to thest.


    ¡°Innate martial arts don¡¯t seem that hard to cultivate,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    His father had said that it often took months of hard work to fully learn an Innate technique.


    But he had learned it all with just one reading.


    Just then, his sister Yang Ling¡¯er walked in, her face puffed up with anger.


    Yang Xiaotian was curious and asked, ¡°Little sister, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    With Yang Zhong not around, there shouldn¡¯t be any kids bullying her at Yang Family Manor.


    ¡°It¡¯s our uncle; he took father¡¯s bounty,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said furiously, then exined how Yang Hai had imed the bounty for Hu Lie¡¯s head.


    Of course, she too had heard it from a few guards of Yang Family Manor.


    Yang Ling¡¯er angrily said, ¡°Father mentioned that with those three thousand gold coins, he could have bought you three portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, and then you could have broken through to the second tier.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotianughed. So this was what really bothered the little girl.


    Feeling warmth in his heart, he touched his cute sister¡¯s face and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even without those three portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, your big brother will break through to the second tier very soon.¡±

    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Ling¡¯er listened and obviously didn¡¯t believe him, ¡°Big brother is bragging again. Father and mother said that for big brother to break through to the second tier, it would take two to three years.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°When Yang Zhonges back next time, what if I can defeat him.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er said in a childish voice, ¡°Then I will give you all of my Rice Flower Vige pastries.¡±


    Rice Flower Vige pastries were her favorite.


    ¡°If you lose, you also have to give me all your Rice Flower Vige pastries,¡± the little girl quickly added, her face full of craving.


    Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal.¡±


    The little girl even raised her hand for a high five with him.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled. When the time came for the little girl to lose all her pastries to him, wouldn¡¯t she cry with a red nose?


    ¡°Big brother, it¡¯s New Year¡¯s tomorrow. I¡¯ve bought a lot of fireworks. Let¡¯s go out and set off fireworks together, okay?¡± Yang Ling¡¯er clung to Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied with augh.


    Having broken through to the Innate rank that morning, his mood was very good.


    The two siblings set off a lot of fireworks.


    At dusk, the whole family gathered together for a reunion dinner, a table full of rich dishes, all the siblings¡¯ favorites.


    The little girl ate with a mouth covered in grease.


    Seeing how Yang Ling¡¯er ate, Huang Yingughed and said, ¡°Eat slower, if you keep eating like this, you¡¯ll be a chubby girl in the future.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er giggled and said, ¡°Big brother eats even more than me, he will definitely be a fatty in the future.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had a headache, sitting down and still getting shot at?


    ¡°Your big brother practices martial arts every day; it¡¯s normal for him to eat a lot,¡± their father Yang Chao also said with augh, then turned to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, in the path of martial arts, haste does not bring sess. Your father knows you practice hard and the reason for it, but remember, one should never rush, especially with cultivation.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°Father, I understand.¡±


    Yang Chao looked at his son, feeling reassured.


    As for why his son had managed to break through a tier so quickly, he did not ask. His son would tell him when he wished to share.


    After the reunion dinner came New Year¡¯s Eve, and Yang Ling¡¯er pestered Yang Xiaotian to set off fireworks again.


    The brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky.


    Yang Chao watched the fireworks blooming continuously in the night sky, but his mind was on the journey to ck Wind Stronghold the day after tomorrow, filled with worries.


    Late in the night, everyone went to sleep.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian go to the valley cave dwelling to continue consuming the remaining Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Although he had just broken through to the Innate rank, facing the fourteen Innate members of ck Wind Stronghold still didn¡¯t give him confidence, so before that, he needed to do his utmost to enhance his strength.


    As he refined thest Four Symbols Spirit Pill, the cyclone in his dantian began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    A night went by.


    When the sun rose,


    Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating and saw that the original cyclone had finally expanded to ten meters!


    Moreover, a second cyclone had formed.


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    Having two cyclones meant that he had entered the second-tier realm of the Innate.


    The effect of the Four Symbols Spirit Pill was even better than he had imagined.


    Coming to the open space in the valley, Yang Xiaotian held the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in hand, pointed it to the Nine Heavens, and struck out.


    All he saw was a burst of Sword Qi falling from the Nine Heavens.


    Boom!


    On the ground, six stunning sword holes appeared.


    This was the second move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, ¡°Sword Falls from the Nine Heavens.¡± Yesterday, he could only produce four sword holes, but now he has reached six. Although it was only two more sword holes, the power was iparable to that of the previous day.


    After practicing the swordsmanship for a while, Yang Xiaotian hurried back to Yang Family Manor and found that the little girl had already risen early.


    ¡°Big brother, did you go to the back mountain to y monkey tricks again? I was just about toe looking for you,¡± said Yang Ling¡¯er.


    Hearing Yang Ling¡¯er mention ying monkey tricks, Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words and corrected her, ¡°That¡¯s the Taiji Scripture.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er did not dwell on the issue and, taking Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, went to find Yang Chao and Huang Ying, saying, ¡°Father and mother said thatter they will take us into town to stroll around, and there will be delicious food to buy.¡±


    Every year on the first day of the New Year, Yang Chao and Huang Ying would take the two kids into Xingyue City to join in the excitement, and of course, to buy lots of delicious food.


    Upon reaching the front hall, Yang Chao and Huang Ying were already waiting. Seeing the two arrive, they each took out two big red envelopes and handed one to Yang Xiaotian and Yang Ling¡¯er, apanying them with a slew of well-wishes.


    Holding the two big red envelopes, Yang Ling¡¯er sweetly said, ¡°Thank you, Father, Mother.¡±


    ¡°I also made two sachets for Father and Mother,¡± said Yang Xiaotian as he took out two sachets.


    These two sachets were made by Yang Xiaotian with spiritual medicines from the valley. Wearing them on one¡¯s person year-round could significantly benefit one¡¯s cultivation.


    Of course, the effects could not be seen in the short term, but after a year the benefits would be evident.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying took the sachets with a smile to each other.


    ¡°Our Xiaotian has grown sensible, even thinking to give gifts to Father and Mother,¡± Huang Ying teased with augh.


    The couple thought the sachets were just ordinary and put them away.


    ¡°Big brother, I want one too,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said, pestering Yang Xiaotian upon seeing this.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Yours is not forgotten.¡± He then took out another sachet and handed it to the little girl, ¡°But you must not lose it.¡±


    ¡°Got it, hee hee,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er giggled.


    Afterward, the family went downtown in Xingyue City to stroll around.


    The happiest one was none other than the little girl, Yang Ling¡¯er.


    The family yed until evening, before returning to Yang Family Manor.


    Yang Xiaotian seized the time to continue his cultivation.


    He sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed in his cave dwelling, circting the Primordial Dragon Art, with his true qi surging powerfully through his body.


    In a trance, Yang Xiaotian felt as though he had transformed into ny-nine million nine thousand nine hundred and ny-nine tiny particles, and within each particle resided an ancient True Dragon.


    Suddenly, one of the particles within him burst open.


    A formidable dragon might swept across heaven and earth.


    The Golden Armored Beast ying in the valley and the spirit beasts surrounding the valley, upon sensing this dragon might, could not help but cower in fear, prostrate on the ground.


    The air currents around Yang Xiaotian gradually took the form of a Divine Dragon.


    After several days of arduous cultivation, Yang Xiaotian finally awoke the True Dragon Power.


    Once the True Dragon Power was awakened, he was a walking human-shaped True Dragon. Now, with his strength and Innate True Qi fully unleashed, he wasparable to a real dragon.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian discovered that he could hear everything within a hundred meters as clearly as if it were right next to him. He could even distinctly hear the sound of ants moving on the ground.


    Not only that, but in the darkness, he could see the insects on the leaves of trees a hundred meters away, and he could even discern the patterns on their wings.


    After awakening the True Dragon Power, his entire body underwent a startling transformation; not only did his defense and strength greatly increase, but his hearing and eyesight also improved tremendously.


    He circted his Innate True Qi and threw a punch, which instantly transformed into a True Dragon.


    Crack! A tree twenty meters away was sted through.


    This was sted through, not merely sted apart, which is much harder to achieve.


    Looking at the astonishing punch hole in the trunk of the tree, Yang Xiaotian was shocked. Now, he had only awakened the power of one dragon, and his strength was already so formidable. What if he cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art to its limit?


    To fully cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art would be to awaken the power of ny-nine million nine thousand nine hundred and ny-nine True Dragons. Just how terrifying would that be!


    However, by now, he should be the number one expert in Yang Family Manor.


    With the True Dragon Power awakened and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique at his disposal, he was capable of sweeping away anyone in the Yang Family Manor. Even his grandfather, who was at the fifth level of the Innate Realm, would not be his match.

 Chapter 12: Bloodbath at Black Wind Stronghold

    12 Chapter 12: Bloodbath at ck Wind Stronghold


    Trantor: 549690339


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to Yang Family Manor, he found his parents sitting in the front hall, but the atmosphere was somewhat off.


    ¡°Mother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked Huang Ying.


    ¡°Your father is about to leave for ck Wind Stronghold soon. This journey is fraught with danger. Just now, your father asked your grandfather to borrow the Tiger King Spirit Armor, but your grandfather refused.¡± Huang Ying said this with great agitation, ¡°What¡¯s more important, your father¡¯s life or the Tiger King Spirit Armor?¡±


    ¡°In your grandfather¡¯s eyes, is your father¡¯s safety less important than a piece of Tiger King Spirit Armor?¡±


    A weight sank in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    The Tiger King Spirit Armor was an ancestral spiritual-grade armor of Yang Family Manor. If his father wore it, his chances of surviving the ck Wind Stronghold mission would indeed be much higher.


    Still, he hadn¡¯t expected his grandfather to refuse.


    ¡°Enough.¡± Yang Chao waved his hand, interrupting Huang Ying, ¡°The Tiger King Spirit Armor is an ancestral heirloom of Yang Family Manor, and only the manor lord can wear it. It¡¯s normal for father to refuse to lend it. Moreover, if the Tiger King Spirit Armor were to be lost because of me, then I would be the sinner of the Yang Family Manor.¡±


    However, despite saying this, Yang Chao still felt a chill in his heart at this moment.


    After a pause, he said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, you¡¯re sensible now. If your father is no longer here in the future, you must take care of your mother and sister.¡± Although he hoped to return safe and sound, he had to prepare for the worst.


    Yang Xiaotian heard the underlying meaning in his father¡¯s words and said, ¡°Father, you won¡¯t have any trouble.¡± He would not allow anything to happen to his father.


    Yang Chao didn¡¯t think too much about it, taking it as his son¡¯s words offort, and smiled, ¡°Good, when fatheres back, he¡¯ll buy you pastries from Rice Flower Vige.¡±


    Momentster, under the watchful eyes of Yang Xiaotian, Huang Ying, Yang Ling¡¯er, and others, Yang Chao and the protectors of Yang Family Manor headed towards ck Wind Stronghold.


    Only after Yang Chao¡¯s figure had disappeared into the snowyndscape did the group turn back and reenter the courtyard.


    As soon as he returned to his room, Yang Xiaotian transformed into a shadowy figure and left Yang Family Manor.


    Yang Xiaotian turned into a residual shadow, constantly shuttling through the dense woods.


    Now, he needed to get to ck Wind Stronghold before his father and take care of the fourteen Innate experts of the stronghold.


    As long as he dealt with the fourteen Innate experts of ck Wind Stronghold, the minor thugs of the stronghold wouldn¡¯t pose a threat to his father¡¯s safety anymore.


    ¡­


    Mount Daluo.


    Mount Daluoy to the north of West Zhou in Divine Sea Country, a rtivelyrge mountain range, with ck Wind Stronghold nestled within its depths.


    When Yang Xiaotian reached Mount Daluo, the day was already bright, and he could see ck Wind Stronghold¡¯s bandits patrolling everywhere on the mountain.


    But after bing a soul, Yang Xiaotian slipped into the darkness, dodging past these patrolling bandits one by one and entering the depths of ck Wind Stronghold.


    Deeper inside ck Wind Stronghold, there were far fewer patrolling bandits, and thoseing and going were generally the upper echelons of the stronghold.


    However, along the way, Yang Xiaotian saw many captured young women. These women, with their clothes in disarray and terror on their faces, were obviously kidnapped.


    Their fate in the hands of these ck Wind Stronghold bandits was not hard to imagine.


    Besides the women, there were also many people tied to stakes¡ªold people, young people, and even children.


    Those bound to the stakes, many covered in bloodstains and tortured to the brink of death, included children as young as four or five years old.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned icy.


    ¡°Manor Lord, a scout just sent back a message that the Yang Family Manor¡¯s people have already set out. They should reach our ck Wind Stronghold in about an hour, but the leader is not Yang Hai, it¡¯s Yang Chao,¡± a voice rang out at that moment.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart stirred, and he followed the voice to arrive at a courtyard.


    Inside the courtyard, ck Wind Stronghold¡¯s manor lord Ma Dongping was practicing knife techniques. Hearing the news, hemented, ¡°Yang Hai is really astute to send his brother to die.¡±


    ¡°Lord Wei has said, no matter whoes from Yang Family Manor to ask for these minerals, we are to kill them without exception.¡±


    Lord Wei? Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    No wonder ck Wind Stronghold dared to rob Yang Family Manor¡¯s minerals despite knowing their connection to Chen Yuan of Divine Sword Academy¡ªit turned out there was someone behind the scenes giving orders.


    Just as Ma Dongping was about to speak again, he suddenly noticed a seven- or eight-year-old child walking over.


    Ma Dongping was taken aback.


    Inside the courtyard, the others were also startled.


    The child was none other than Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s murderous advance, Ma Dongping, after a moment of stunned reaction,ughed and said to those around him, ¡°Where did this little thing pop out from? Look at the murderous intent on his face. Could he possibly havee to kill me?¡±


    Several people at the sceneughed out loud.


    Just then, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian fiercely punched out.


    Instantly, the air currents roared.


    A True Qi Dragon, apanying a massive fist imprint, tore through space and, with an unstoppable momentum, exploded right in front of Ma Dongping.


    Feeling the overbearing power of the fist imprint, Ma Dongping¡¯s face paledpletely; without thinking, he swung his broadsword with all his might.


    But just as he cut down, the True Qi Dragon bombarded his broadsword.


    ng!


    Ma Dongping felt an excruciating pain in his arm as his broadsword was sent flying, and he himself was cast out like a withered leaf, crashing into a stone pir at the end of the courtyard.


    Thud!


    The stone pir shattered into pieces on impact.


    Ma Dongping harshly smashed to the ground, continuously spitting out blood.


    Theughter from before came to an abrupt end.


    A deathly silence filled the scene.


    The other Innate Experts from ck Wind Stronghold snapped into action, infuriated, and each of them drew their weapons to attack Yang Xiaotian.


    However, Yang Xiaotian was quicker; the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword appeared in his hand, and he thrust forth with a stab.


    Two sword lights, slicing throughyers of air waves.


    They prated the throats of two Innate Experts from ck Wind Stronghold in an instant.


    ¡°One Sword Yin Yang.¡±


    Having awakened the True Dragon Power, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword was faster; the experts from ck Wind Stronghold had only seen the sword lights before their throats were slit open.


    After that one strike, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t stop; the tip of his sword pointed straight to the heavens as if following through.


    Hum!


    A clear ring of Sword Qi echoed, and the experts from ck Wind Stronghold shockingly looked up. They saw six sword energies roaring down from the Nine Heavens.


    They tried to dodge in terror, but they were a step too slow.


    The Sword Qi sted down from above their heads in an instant.


    They froze in ce.


    Then, the two who were first struck down by One Sword Yin Yang fell, with columns of blood spurting from the sword holes in their throats.


    The other experts had columns of blood erupt from the tops of their heads, one by one copsing to the ground.


    All of these ck Wind Stronghold experts had their eyes wide open in disbelief, never having imagined that one day they would die at the hands of a seven- or eight-year-old child.


    In recent days, Yang Xiaotian had often gone into the forests with the Golden Armored Beast to hunt fierce beasts; he looked at the bloody scene before him without difort.


    He approached Ma Dongping, sword in hand. Ma Dongping, seeing the seven- or eight-year-old Yang Xiaotian approaching, could not hide the fear on his face.


    ¡°Who instructed you to rob the ore materials from Yang Family Manor?¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly, staring at the other person, ¡°Who is Lord Wei?¡±


    Yang Family Manor?


    Ma Dongping was taken aback; could this child be from Yang Family Manor?


    ¡°Who are you?!¡± Ma Dongping asked in rmed suspicion.


    At that moment, a rush of hurried footsteps sounded, and arge group of ck Wind Stronghold¡¯s experts suddenly poured in from outside.


    However, when these experts from ck Wind Stronghold saw their Innate Grandmasters lying in pools of blood, they were all dumbfounded.

 Chapter 13: Could it be Dragon Blood Fist?

    13 Chapter 13: Could it be Dragon Blood Fist?


    Trantor: 549690339


    All the experts of ck Wind Stronghold turned their attention to Yang Xiaotian.


    By this time, Yang Xiaotian had already put on his Dragon Head Mask, which he had bought yesterday while shopping in town with his parents.


    ¡°Quick, save the stronghold master!¡± The experts from ck Wind Stronghold suddenly realized the situation and drew their divine weapons to attack Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows, his Heaven-Prating Divine Sword swept out, and the sword light blossomed once more.


    Instantly, two Innate Experts from ck Wind Stronghold clutched at their throats and fell.


    Nevertheless, the people of ck Wind Stronghold kepting at him relentlessly.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes grew colder and the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand thrust out continuously.


    The sword light kept blooming within the courtyard.


    The charging experts from ck Wind Stronghold kept crashing to the ground.


    The entire courtyard was dyed red with blood.


    After dealing with thest man, Yang Xiaotian held the sword to Ma Dongping¡¯s throat, his eyes growing colder, ¡°Who is Lord Wei?¡±


    Ma Dongping¡¯s eyes were full of fear as he spoke, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I only know he goes by Lord Wei, and each time he appears, he wears a bronze mask.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.


    ¡°He is very powerful, at least a Martial King,¡± Ma Dongping added.


    At least a Martial King?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression hardened.


    Above the Innate Grandmasters lies the Martial King Realm.


    A Martial King, in Divine Sea Country, is definitely a powerful figure capable of dominating a region.


    However, why would such a powerful being target the Yang Family Manor?


    At this moment, more and more experts from ck Wind Stronghold surged into the courtyard.


    Just as Ma Dongping was about to beg for mercy, Yang Xiaotian pushed his sword forward, piercing the other¡¯s throat directly.


    Blood kept bubbling out.


    Ma Dongping¡¯s eyes were wide open, staring ahead as he reached out for something, but ultimately copsed to the ground, motionless.


    At this point, the invading bandits from ck Wind Stronghold, seeing Ma Dongping gasping on the ground and the bodies of several Innate Grandmasters, were all so frightened that their faces turned pale.


    These bandits, though brutal, were not necessarily unafraid of death.


    As Yang Xiaotian advanced with his sword, theter-arriving bandits from ck Wind Stronghold retreated in fear.


    A few angrily drew their swords to attack Yang Xiaotian but were sted away from the courtyard gate by a casual punch from his hand.


    The gate itself was blown away.


    Seeing this, the other bandits dare not linger and fled in panic.


    However, these bandits hadmitted countless evils, and if they escaped, who knows how many women and children would die at their hands. Therefore, Yang Xiaotian would not let a single one go if he could help it. His figure flickered, and he used the Taiji Fist from the Taiji Scripture.


    A punch, an elbow, a palm.


    Yang Xiaotian weaved through the ranks of the ck Wind Stronghold, and with every strike, he sent someone flying.


    Those who were hit by his fist or palm were either dead or crippled.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s pursuit, more and more of ck Wind Stronghold¡¯s helpers began to flee in panic, and the entire stronghold was seized with terror.


    By this time, Yang Chao¡¯s group had arrived at the foot of Mount Daluo.


    Looking at Mount Daluo ahead, which was no less daunting than a dragon pool or a tiger¡¯s den, Yang Chao became increasingly anxious.


    However, just as he was about to grit his teeth and lead the Yang Family guards up the mountain, he suddenly saw several bandits from ck Wind Stronghold running out in panic.


    ¡°Brothers from ck Wind Stronghold, we are from Yang Family Manor.¡± Just as Yang Chao was about to speak, he saw that these bandits didn¡¯t bother with him and dashed past them, quickly fleeing far away.


    As they fled, they looked back from time to time, unable to hide the terror on their faces.


    Looking at the escaping bandits from ck Wind Stronghold, Yang Chao and the others exchanged nces in bewilderment, wondering what was going on.


    Then, another group of bandits from ck Wind Stronghold ran down the mountain, and this time there were even more of them.


    The panic-stricken expression on his face was no different from what the others disyed earlier.


    Yang Chao and hispanions were even more perplexed.


    ¡°What has happened to ck Wind Stronghold?¡± Yang Family guard Sun Hua eximed in surprise.


    From the way these ck Wind Stronghold gang members were fleeing in panic, it was clear that something had indeed happened there.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go up and take a look,¡± Yang Chao said in a deep voice.


    However, as Yang Chao and hispanions entered ck Wind Stronghold, all they saw along the way were terror-stricken ck Wind Stronghold gang members fleeing in fear.


    These gang members were only focusing on escaping, paying no heed to them.


    Yang Chao grew increasingly bewildered.


    When Yang Chao and hispanions reached the depths of ck Wind Stronghold, they were shocked to see, lying in pools of blood, the bodies of ck Wind Stronghold¡¯s martial arts masters.


    The people from Yang Family Manor were taken aback.


    As they delved deeper, their horror intensified.


    ¡°It¡¯s Ma Dongping!¡± one of them suddenly cried out.


    Yang Chao started and looked in that direction.


    Indeed, the man lying in the distance with a full beard was none other than Ma Dongping, the lord of ck Wind Stronghold. Alongside Ma Dongping, in the courtyardy more than a dozen other Innate Grandmasters of the stronghold.


    ¡°They¡¯re all¡­ all dead!¡± The inner turmoil experienced by the guards of Yang Family Manor as they saw all the Innate Grandmasters of ck Wind Stronghold lying dead before them could only be imagined.


    This horrific scene would be unforgettable for all of them.


    In their shock, the people from Yang Family Manor moved forward to examine the fatal wounds on Ma Dongping and the others.


    ¡°A sword through the throat!¡±


    ¡°What terrifying punching power!¡±


    ¡°And look, sword qi entering from the top of the head; what kind of swordsmanship is this?¡±


    The more they observed, the more frightened the people from Yang Family Manor became.


    ¡°Second Manor Lord, look.¡± One of them pointing at Ma Dongping¡¯s chest, suddenly called out. Yang Chao looked carefully and saw that Ma Dongping¡¯s chest bore a terrifying fist imprint, within which a faint dragon head blood pattern could be seen but was difficult to spot without close inspection.


    They soon found simr dragon head blood patterns on several others.


    Yang Chao¡¯s throat felt dry. What kind of punching technique was this that left behind a dragon head blood pattern after killing someone? Could it be the legendary Dragon Blood Fist?


    ¡°The swordsmanship used to kill these people seems somewhat simr to the one used on the convicted felon Hu Lie,¡± one of the guards said uncertainly.


    ¡°Could it be?¡± replied another guard.


    Yang Chao observed carefully and found that indeed, the sword wounds that had killed the members of ck Wind Stronghold were very simr to those on Hu Lie.


    Could it really be the same person¡¯s doing?


    ¡°Second Manor Lord, what should we do now?¡± guard Sun Hua asked.


    ¡°Groups of five, start searching for our Yang Family Manor¡¯s mineral resources,¡± Yang Chao said after a moment¡¯s thought.


    At this moment, Yang Hai and Yang Ming were still unaware of what had happened at ck Wind Stronghold.


    Inside the Yang Family Manor, Yang Hai, holding a letter, said to Yang Ming with a happy smile, ¡°Father, Chao¡¯er just sent word that he will be back in a couple of days.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he has already made a breakthrough to the third rank.¡±


    ¡°He is now at the third rank!¡±


    On saying this, Yang Hai couldn¡¯t hide his excitement.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Ming burst into delightedughter, ¡°Third rank, good! Worthy of being my, Yang Ming¡¯s grandson; such a speed of cultivation will surely be recorded in the annals of Divine Sea Country.¡±


    A breakthrough to the third rank in less than two months was truly astonishing.


    ¡°And Lord Chen Yuan will also being?¡± Yang Ming asked, caught up in his excitement.


    ¡°Lord Chen Yuan wille too,¡± Yang Hai said with a joyousugh. ¡°And along with him, Your Highness Princess, who is now Chao¡¯er¡¯s senior sister.¡±


    Hearing that the Princess of Divine Sea Country wasing to Yang Family Manor, Yang Ming felt as if fortune had fallen from the heavens, excitedly saying, ¡°Chao¡¯er is truly a blessing for our Yang Family Manor. I, Yang Ming, am so fortunate to have such a grandson.¡±

    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°`


    Just as Yang Ming and Yang Hai were excited for Yang Zhong¡¯s return in two days, the old steward Yang Lin came in, ¡°Great Manor Lord, Manor Lord, the Second Manor Lord has returned.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Hai was very surprised, and then he said, ¡°He has returned so soon? Could it be that he did not even dare to enter ck Wind Stronghold and retreated halfway? It seems like we won¡¯t be getting the lost materials back.¡±


    Yang Ming was greatly disappointed.


    But the old steward Yang Lin had a strange expression as he said, ¡°Great Manor Lord, Manor Lord, the Second Manor Lord has actually retrieved the Yang Family Manor¡¯s materials.¡±


    ¡°What, retrieved?¡± Yang Hai was astonished and incredulous, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s the same batch of materials we lost?¡±


    Yang Ming was also full of disbelief.


    Yang Lin replied, ¡°It¡¯s true, the materials the Second Manor Lord brought back are now outside the manor, and the guards have confirmed it. It¡¯s indeed the batch of materials previously lost by Yang Family Manor, and not a single piece is missing.¡±


    Not a single piece missing!


    Upon hearing this, Yang Ming strode outside, and Yang Hai, filled with doubt, followed.


    They arrived outside the manor and saw the materials piled up like a mountain.


    Yang Hai still did not believe it and began to inspect the materials, opening box after box.


    But after checking thest box, it indeed contained the materials they had lost before.


    Not more, not less, a total of one hundred boxes.


    Only then did Yang Ming show a smile and said to Yang Chao, ¡°Well done.¡±


    This batch of materials was very important to Yang Family Manor.


    At that moment, Yang Chao took out the ten thousand gold and said to Yang Ming with a smile, ¡°Father, here¡¯s the ten thousand gold you gave me earlier, all ounted for.¡±


    Yang Ming and Yang Hai were both greatly surprised.


    Yang Chao went on to exin, ¡°When we arrived at ck Wind Stronghold, Ma Dongping and the others at ck Wind Stronghold had all been killed.¡± He then recounted the situation in detail.


    After listening, both Yang Ming and Yang Hai were shocked.


    All of the fourteen Innate masters of ck Wind Stronghold and a host of leaders had been killed.


    Apart from the shock, Yang Hai felt a pang of regret. Had he known this would happen, he would have gone himself, and he would be the one bringing back the materials now.


    ¡°Do you know who the other party is?¡± asked Yang Ming, unable to help himself.


    Yang Chao shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but the person is a master swordsman, and their punching power is very strange. When it hits the body, it produces a True Dragon Blood Diagram, simr to the legendary Dragon Blood Fist.¡±


    ¡°Dragon Blood Fist?¡± Yang Ming was both shocked and doubtful.


    ¡°Right, the sword wounds on the bodies of Ma Dongping and his men are very simr to those on the wanted criminal Hu Lie we encountered before,¡± Yang Chao recalled, adding, ¡°It might be the same person.¡±


    ¡°The same person!¡± Both Yang Ming and Yang Hai were astonished.


    After hesitating for a moment, Yang Chao said to Yang Ming, ¡°Father, you said before that if I retrieved the materials, you would let me manage half of Yang Family Manor¡¯s mines.¡±


    Yang Ming¡¯s face showed his difficulty.


    Yang Hai interrupted, ¡°Second brother, you just happened toe across ck Wind Stronghold after Ma Dongping and the others had been killed, and you picked up the bargain. The materials were not brought back by your own capabilities; that doesn¡¯t count, does it?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Chao couldn¡¯t help feeling angry.


    He hadn¡¯t expected his elder brother to be so shameless. Earlier, their father had hinted that as long as he brought back the materials, it would suffice, and his elder brother had also been present and agreed.


    Now, not only had he brought back the materials, but he had also saved Yang Family Manor ten thousand gold.


    He had aplished more than what was asked.


    Yet his elder brother was now reneging on his word.


    Then, Yang Ming also said to Yang Chao, ¡°Well, you are not familiar with the mines. You should start by working under your elder brother at one of the mines to get acquainted with the business. We can talk about managing the minester.¡±


    Yang Chao¡¯s heart instantly grew colder. He forced a smile, a wry one, knowing that all this talk of unfamiliarity with the mines was just an excuse.


    Suppressing his anger, he said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I would rather not take the job.¡±


    ¡°`


    Upon hearing this, Yang Hai became unhappy and said, ¡°Second Brother, your entire family¡¯s food, clothing, and shelter alle from Yang Family Manor. Now that Father has assigned you the task of overseeing a mine, you refuse to do it? Do you expect the Yang Family Manor to provide for your family for free?¡±


    Yang Ming did not speak, clearly agreeing with Yang Hai¡¯s statement.


    Yang Chao burst into wildughter, ¡°Provide for our family for free? So, ording to you, my family relies solely on the charity of Yang Family Manor to survive, is that right?¡±


    Yang Ming¡¯s face darkened, and he scolded, ¡°Enough.¡±


    Yang Chao took a deep breath, ¡°Since you all think so, there¡¯s no reason for us to shamelessly stay in Yang Family Manor any longer. Fine, I will pack up our belongings in the next few days, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will move out of Yang Family Manor and no longer rely on its charity.¡±


    Having said that, he left straight away.


    Seeing Yang Chao leave, Yang Hai couldn¡¯t help but say to Yang Ming, ¡°Father, the Second Brother is being unreasonable!¡±


    Yang Ming, however, raised his hand and said, ¡°Let him move out if he wants. Without the protection of our Yang Family Manor, he won¡¯t be able to aplish anything. It won¡¯t be long before hees begging to move back in.¡±


    He then instructed Yang Hai, ¡°Go check what¡¯s going on with ck Wind Stronghold. Find out who killed Ma Dongping and the others.¡±


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian, who had already returned to his courtyard, soon learned of the conflict between his father, Yang Ming, and Yang Hai, as well as his father¡¯s decision to move out of Yang Family Manor.


    Yang Xiaotian looked towards his grandfather¡¯s courtyard, clenching his fists tightly.


    It turned out his family had always been seen as living on the charity of Yang Family Manor in his grandfather¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Yang Zhong will be back in two days,¡± he murmured to himself.


    He had already heard the news that Yang Zhong would be returning to the Yang Family Manor in two days, and he certainly knew why Yang Zhong was rushing back so soon.


    Yang Zhong had advanced to the third rank and was eager to challenge him to avenge the defeat at the annualpetition.


    ¡°Third rank, huh.¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s robe fluttered as if caught in a breeze, and a True Dragon burst forth from his body.


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aurapletely retracted, he took out the Medicine Cauldron, and began refining the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Refining the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was not for his own cultivation but rather to sell for money.


    He wanted to refine the Innate Spirit Pill, but there were no materials for it in the valley, so he needed to get money to buy them.


    To refine the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, nearly a hundred types of herbs were required, no small sum. Although he had killed Hu Lie, Ma Dongping, and others, acquiring a good amount of gold, this gold was far from sufficient.


    Half a dayter.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the dozen or so portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in jade bottles and nodded with satisfaction.


    After breaking through to the rank of Innate Grandmaster, he found controlling the Heaven and Earth Fire even more effortless. In just half a day, he had refined over a dozen portions.


    Moreover, these dozen portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid were even purer than those he had refined previously.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully stored the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and swiftly left Yang Family Manor, heading for thergest trade guild in Xingyue City.


    At this moment, in thergest trade guild¡¯s back courtyard in Xingyue City, Wen Jingyi stared at this month¡¯s ount book, her eyebrows tightly knit. She had been assigned by her family to manage the Xingyue City branch for several months, but the guild¡¯s profits had not improved.


    Just as Wen Jingyi was agonizing over the guild¡¯s profits, suddenly, a cough sounded from behind.


    Wen Jingyi jumped in fright and spun around, ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡±


    She looked and saw a figure enshrouded in dark energy emerging a few meters behind.


    A chill went down Wen Jingyi¡¯s spine. As a fifth-ranked Innate expert, she hadn¡¯t noticed someone behind her.


    Was this person at the sixth rank, or perhaps the seventh?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m here because I have some Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid I want to sell to your guild.¡± The shadowy figure spoke and with a wave of his hand, several jade bottlesnded on the stone table before her.


    Wen Jingyi, filled with surprise and doubt, picked up a jade bottle and opened it. Instantly, the scent of the elixir cleared her mind and refreshed her senses.


    ¡°This is top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?!¡± She looked at the Spiritual Liquid inside the bottle in disbelief.


    For elixirs like the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, it was rare to even reach high-grade, and superior-grade was even scarcer.


    As for top-grade, it was her first time seeing it.

    Supreme quality?


    Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t surprised.


    The first time he refined the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, it was already of high quality, even possibly premium quality. Now that he had broken through to the Innate level, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid he refined was even more pure. It was normal for it to reach supreme quality.


    But Wen Jingyi was excited as she opened the second jade bottle.


    It was another batch of supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!


    When she opened the third bottle, her hands started to shake.


    Indeed.


    The third bottle was also supreme quality.


    The fourth bottle, the fifth bottle¡ªby the time she opened the tenth bottle, Wen Jingyi¡¯s hands were not just shaking anymore.


    All of them were of supreme quality, all of them were supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    After opening all fourteen jade bottles, Wen Jingyi took deep breaths, trying to calm her inner turmoil, but it remained difficult to settle.


    She dared to guarantee that even her family head had likely never seen this many supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids.


    In the Divine Sea Country, premium quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid asionally appeared, but supreme quality was almost never seen.


    Thest time supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid appeared in the Divine Sea Country seemed to be more than a decade ago, and there was only one batch. Even so, it still sparked a frantic auction among many families and sects.


    But now, there were as many as fourteen batches of supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Elixirs, consumed for cultivation, always have some side effects. However, the higher the quality, the smaller the side effects, and with supreme quality elixirs, the side effects are so minimal they could be disregarded.


    Therefore, whenever a supreme quality elixir appears, it triggers a crazy auction from all sides.


    ¡°Sir, did you refine these fourteen batches of supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?¡± Wen Jingyi asked, her voice trembling.


    ¡°You¡¯re asking too many questions,¡± said Yang Xiaotian indifferently.


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s heart chilled, and she hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, I was presumptuous,¡± and then asked, ¡°May I know what your ns are for selling these supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids? Are you going to sell them directly to ourmerce guild, or are you nning to auction them?¡±


    ¡°To sell directly, what¡¯s the price?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°If sold directly, for one batch, two thousand five hundred gold, how about that?¡± Wen Jingyi pondered for a moment and carefully asked Yang Xiaotian, her face tense.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, not expecting the supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to be so valuable. A typical medium quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid generally only cost five to six hundred gold.


    Now, for fourteen batches, wasn¡¯t that thirty-five thousand gold?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.


    Thirty-five thousand gold¡ªlikely many families in Xingyue City couldn¡¯te up with that much.


    At that moment, Wen Jingyi anxiously said, ¡°If it¡¯s an auction, the prices would be higher, but with so many supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids, ourmerce guild would need to promote and prepare for a while. We would need at least a month to hold the auction.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s sell directly,¡± said Yang Xiaotian without a second thought. He urgently needed money, and waiting a month was too long.


    ¡°Very well, please wait, sir!¡± Wen Jingyi, hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to sell directly, couldn¡¯t help feeling ecstatic. If the person sold them directly to theirmerce guild, once they promoted the auction, the profit would increase substantially.


    Shortly, Wen Jingyi took out thirty-five thousand gold and handed it to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and took away the thirty-five thousand gold.


    Seeing the thirty-five thousand gold disappear, Wen Jingyi was inwardly shocked, realizing that this man in ck must have a Space Ring, which was how he could vanish the mountain-like thirty-five thousand gold on the spot.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to buy some medicinal materials from you,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he put away the gold and took out a list of materials.


    Wen Jingyi took the list and, seeing the densely packed list of materials, was greatly astonished. Only the preparation for refining Innate Spirit Pills required so many materials.


    And the pills he nned to refine were definitely not ordinary Innate Spirit Pills.


    This is nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs.


    An ordinary Innate Spirit Pill would not require so many precious ingredients.


    Could the person before me be a two-star alchemist? Wen Jingyi¡¯s heart raced.


    A two-star alchemist was even rarer than a Martial King Realm powerhouse.


    If one could refine a high-quality Innate Spirit Pill, that status would be even more revered.


    ¡°Sir, we have some of these herbs at the Xingyue City Commerce Guild, but some are only avable at our main guild,¡± Wen Jingyi said respectfully.


    After learning that the person before her might be a two-star alchemist, she became even more respectful.


    ¡°Only avable at the main guild?¡± Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sir, I can have the main guild ship the herbs right away, and they will arrive in two days,¡± Wen Jingyi quickly added.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He then purchased all the ingredients avable at the Xingyue City Commerce Guild for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    He spent over four thousand gold.


    However, the ingredients from the Xingyue City Commerce Guild were not abundant; they were enough for him to refine at most two Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    ¡°Only two pills?¡± Yang Xiaotian was somewhat helpless.


    However, he also knew that the ingredients for refining an Innate Spirit Pill were scarce; two pills would have to do for now. He would find other ways to procure more fromrger guilds in other citiester on.


    After securing the ingredients, Yang Xiaotian retreated into the shadows and disappeared in the blink of an eye before Wen Jingyi.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian vanish eerily before her eyes, Wen Jingyi felt a chill run down her spine.


    She had never heard of such an ability before.


    Was it an invisibility martial skill? Or was it a Martial Soul ability? If it were a Martial Soul, then it must be terrifying. Such a fearsome invisibility ability would mean that the level of his Martial Soul was exceedingly high.


    It was very likely to be a superior Martial Soul!


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s heart raced with this thought.


    After returning to the Yang Family Manor, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    The next day.


    News that the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild in Xingyue City would auction off fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid quickly spread throughout the city, and then at an astonishing rate to the surrounding major cities.


    Eventually, almost the entire Divine Sea Country knew about it.


    Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the whole Divine Sea Country was in an uproar.


    ¡°What, fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡± Chen Yuan and other high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Academy were equally shocked.


    Lin Yong, the headmaster of Divine Sword Academy, pondered, ¡°I¡¯ve made some inquiries. The Xingyue City Wind Cloud Commerce Guild will auction off two servings each time, in seven sessions. Moreover, these fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid were sold directly to the Commerce Guild by a person in ck.¡±


    He surveyed everyone, ¡°This person in ck also purchased arge batch of ingredients for refining Innate Spirit Pills from the Commerce Guild; they must be a two-star alchemist.¡±


    ¡°These fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid must be this person¡¯s creations.¡±


    The high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Academy were no less amazed.


    High-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was extremely difficult to refine; some alchemists might not be able to produce it in their entire lifetime. If these fourteen servings were indeed refined by this individual in ck, their alchemy level was astonishingly high.


    ¡°Do we know what this person looks like?¡± Chen Yuan asked, ¡°If we could invite such a person to be an elder of our Divine Sword Academy, our academy¡¯s strength would surely surge. With such an individual presiding over our academy, countless talents from the Divine Sea Country and even neighboring countries would scramble to join the Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    What Chen Yuan said was not an exaggeration; just the ability to refine high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was enough to attract countless talents from the Divine Sea Country and neighboring nations.


    Lin Yong shook his head, ¡°The person was shrouded in ck mist, so Wen Jingyi from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild couldn¡¯t make out their face. They know only that the person has a short stature; however, such a person, how would they be willing to join our Divine Sword Academy? Let¡¯s not waste our efforts.¡±

 Chapter 16: Welcoming the Fourth Princess

    16 Chapter 16: Weing the Fourth Princess


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°`


    The high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Academy were discussing the fourteen portions of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, and the people from Yang Family Manor were discussing it as well.


    That included Yang Chao and Huang Ying.


    ¡°If we could bid for two portions of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and let Xiaotian cultivate by taking it, he might quickly break through to the second tier, or maybe even the third,¡± Huang Ying said.


    Yang Chao grimaced, ¡°Two portions of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid would likely cost six to seven thousand gold, and we can¡¯t even afford one.¡± Having said this, he sighed deeply.


    How could he not wish to bid for the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for his son to cultivate? But now, even if he sold all he had, he couldn¡¯t scrape together enough money for one portion of the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    ¡°How¡¯s the search for a courtyard going?¡± Huang Ying also knew the situation at home and changed the subject.


    They needed to move out of Yang Family Manor, naturally meaning they had to find a new ce to live.


    Yang Chao shook his head, ¡°There are a few courtyards for sale in the north of Xingyue City, but their locations are too remote, making travel inconvenient, and the prices are not cheap either, going for seven hundred gold.¡±


    ¡°In the south of the city, there¡¯s arger courtyard for sale in a good location, but the price is too high at over fifteen hundred gold.¡±


    Although he had some savings over the years, it wasn¡¯t much. At most, he could only afford a thousand gold.


    Huang Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Otherwise, I could go back and borrow some from my father.¡± Her father was the Huang Family Patriarch of Lei City, and the Huang family was wealthy. Her father also doted on her, so she believed he would be willing to lend the money.


    Yang Chao thought for a while, but still shook his head, ¡°Let¡¯s not trouble my father-inw until thest resort.¡±


    He knew his father-inw would be willing to lend them money, but Huang Ying¡¯s sister-inw was extremely difficult and sharp-tongued. If she found out that Huang Ying went back to her family to borrow money, who knew what unpleasant things she would say.


    ¡°I still have some jewelry. I can pawn them and should be able to gather around five to six hundred gold. Then, we can buy that southern courtyard first,¡± Huang Ying said.


    Yang Chao sighed, ¡°That¡¯s all we can do for now.¡± Then, holding Huang Ying¡¯s hand, he said tenderly, ¡°Ying¡¯er, following me has caused you to suffer.¡±


    Huang Ying shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s not suffering at all. Having you, Xiaotian, and Ling¡¯er, I am very content.¡±


    That day, Huang Ying pawned her jewelry and managed to gather six hundred gold.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying, bringing along Yang Xiaotian and Yang Ling¡¯er, went into the city. After paying the money, they bought the courtyard in the south of the city.


    The courtyard had three entrances and exits and seven rooms. Although some areas were overgrown with weeds and there were no furnishings, Yang Chao was very satisfied with the courtyard in front of him.


    He said to Yang Xiaotian and Yang Ling¡¯er with a smile, ¡°From now on, this will be our new home. We¡¯ll move here in a few days, alright?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er pped happily andughed.


    Yang Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders. He naturally had no objections to moving out of Yang Family Manor.


    In recent days, he had endured the discrimination and ridicule of Yang Family Manor. To be able to leave was for the best.


    Afterpleting the formalities, they locked the main gate. As they were leaving the small courtyard, they happened to encounter Zeng Hongsen, the patriarch of the Zeng Family of Xingyue City.


    Zeng Hongsen was corpulent, apanied by a group of bodyguards, and approached them. Upon seeing Yang Chao, he said with a smirk that didn¡¯t reach his eyes, ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this the Second Manor Lord Yang Chao? I heard you were driven out of Yang Family Manor?¡±


    Then, chuckling, he said, ¡°Is this your newly purchased residence?¡± Pointing to the dpidated courtyard wall, heughed and said, ¡°I never thought that the Second Manor Lord Yang Chao could actually fancy such a rundown ce.¡±


    Yang Chao¡¯s expression darkened: ¡°Is there a problem?¡±


    Hearing this, Zeng Hongsen¡¯s gaze turned unfriendly. With a smile, he said, ¡°I heard you bought a new residence, so I came to offer my congrattions.¡± After a pause, he added, ¡°However, I¡¯ve heard that this residence had previous deaths, heavy with evil spirits. Second Manor Lord Yang Chao should be careful living here.¡±


    ¡°You might just end up dying inside after only a few days.¡±


    ¡°`


    Having said that, he led a group of guards as they all burst intoughter and left.


    Yang Chao¡¯s expression was grim, and Huang Ying was seething with anger.


    Yang Xiaotian watched as Zeng Hongsen swaggered away, his eyes cold.


    The Zeng Family was in the silk business, and previously, when Father managed the Yang Family Manor¡¯s silk trade, they had numerous conflicts of interest, leading to fights on several asions.


    However, Zeng Hongsen was no match for Father and had lost teeth to him in a fight.


    Seeing Zeng Hongsen¡¯s posture just now, it was clear that this matter was far from over.


    At that moment, Yang Chao said, ¡°I heard that Zeng Hongsen has recently ingratiated himself with Wen Jiawei of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.¡±


    ¡°Is it the Wen Jiawei from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild?¡± asked Huang Ying, her face showing concern.


    Yang Chao nodded.


    He wasn¡¯t afraid of Zeng Hongsen by himself, but if the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild was involved, that would be troublesome.


    The Wind Cloud Commerce Guild was a major guild in Divine Sea Country, with branches in many cities.


    Wen Jiawei? Yang Xiaotian made a mental note of the name.


    In the following days, Yang Chao had his men gradually move things to the new residence, meanwhile having it cleaned and purchasing some new furniture. However, due to limited funds, they bought only the cheapest items.


    As usual, Yang Xiaotian practiced his cultivation in the valley at night, while during the day he studied the Alchemy Secret Manual at Yang Family Manor. Through these days of umtion, he gained a deeper understanding of elixirs.


    Perhaps it was because he had awakened the Twin Supreme Martial Spirits, but he found his memory had be excellent. No matter what the elixir form was, he only had to read it once to remember it.


    As for martial techniques, after watching them once, he could perform them wlessly and understand the intricacies of each move.


    Two days passed quickly.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to go to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild to pick up the rest of the medicinal ingredients, he heard a buzz among the guards and maids of Yang Family Manor, ¡°Young Master Yang Zhong is back!¡±


    In an instant, Yang Family Manor was astir.


    Yang Ming, Yang Hai, and the others were thrilled and hurriedly led the experts of Yang Family Manor out to wee the return of the Fourth Princess of Divine Sea Country and Chen Yuan.


    However, no one came to inform Yang Xiaotian¡¯s family.


    Under the respectful reception of Yang Ming, Yang Hai, and others, atst, the procession of the Fourth Princess of Divine Sea Country, Cheng Beibei, along with Chen Yuan and Yang Zhong, approached slowly. Cheng Beibei¡¯s entourage was quite grandiose, including dozens of experts.


    ¡°Yang Family Manor¡¯s Yang Ming and Yang Hai pay respects to Your Highness Princess,¡± said Yang Ming and Yang Hai excitedly as they approached the procession and bowed deeply.


    Cheng Beibei, three years older than Yang Zhong, exuded nobility with a touch of haughtiness. Mounted on a Spirit Beast, she looked down from her elevated position at Yang Ming, Yang Hai, and the others, and motioned for them to rise.


    Subsequently, Cheng Beibei and Chen Yuan entered Yang Family Manor amidst the excited and respectful entreaties of Yang Ming, Yang Hai, and others.


    Shortly after, Yang Ming and Yang Hai¡¯s brows were furrowed with worry. They had not expected the Fourth Princess to bring so many guards and attendants that the courtyard they had prepared was nowhere near sufficient.


    ¡°How about we have the second brother give up his courtyard? He was going to move anyway, and it doesn¡¯t matter whether he moves sooner orter. Let¡¯s have him move out today,¡± suggested Yang Hai after some thought. ¡°If his courtyard is vacated, it should be enough for the Princess¡¯s guards and attendants.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea,¡± replied Yang Ming, unable to think of any other solution, and he nodded in agreement.

    A short whileter, Yang Hai arrived at Yang Chao¡¯s courtyard with his son Yang Zhong and a host of guards.


    Seeing Yang Chao, Huang Ying, Yang Xiaotian, and Yang Ling¡¯er all present, Yang Hai didn¡¯t waste words and went straight to the point.


    ¡°What, you want us to move out now!¡± Yang Chao and Huang Ying¡¯s faces looked unpleasant.


    Yang Hai kept his expression neutral, ¡°Today, her Highness the Fourth Princess hase, bringing too many attendants with her. There aren¡¯t enough rooms in Yang Family Manor, and you would have to move sooner orter anyway. It¡¯s the same if you move today, and I hope my younger brother can understand the plight of Yang Family Manor.¡±


    Yang Chao responded with an angryugh, ¡°Understand the plight of Yang Family Manor? Does Yang Family Manor understand our plight?¡± He suppressed his anger and said, ¡°Fine, we¡¯ll move today.¡±


    At that moment, Yang Zhong stared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you remember what I saidst time? I told you that when I return, I would challenge you again.¡±


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian stared back, ¡°I remember, so what, you want to challenge me now?¡±


    Yang Zhong was taken aback for a moment but then smiled, ¡°Right now! Let¡¯s head to the Martial Arts Stage, how about that?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian could clearly understand the trick in his opponent¡¯s heart. Yang Zhong intended to defeat him at the Martial Arts Stage in front of everyone from Yang Family Manor for an even greater thrill.


    At that moment, Yang Chao said to Yang Zhong, ¡°Yang Zhong, Xiaotian is no match for you, there¡¯s no need for a match.¡±


    He had already heard about Yang Zhong¡¯s breakthrough to the third rank.


    However, Yang Hai smiled and said, ¡°Younger brother, the children are just ying. There¡¯s no need to worry; Yang Zhong will be careful with his strikes and won¡¯t hurt Xiaotian.¡±


    Before Yang Chao could say anything more, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll see you at the Martial Arts Stage.¡± He then stepped towards the direction of the Martial Arts Stage.


    Seeing this, Yang Zhong secretly rejoiced and also headed towards the Martial Arts Stage.


    Yang Hai followed them and at the same time covertly signaled his guards to spread the news of Yang Xiaotian and Yang Zhong¡¯s uing match at the Martial Arts Stage.


    Meanwhile, Yang Chao and Huang Ying watched Yang Xiaotian heading towards the Martial Arts Stage with worried expressions.


    ¡°This child is just as impulsive as you!¡± Huang Ying said anxiously.


    Yang Chao managed a bitter smile; this had nothing to do with him.


    At that moment, Yang Ming and Chen Yuan were discussing the uing auction of the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid by the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild in a month, when a guard from Yang Family Manor came in to report that Yang Xiaotian and Yang Zhong were going topete at the Martial Arts Stage. The two of them became interested and headed towards the Martial Arts Stage.


    Princess Cheng Beibei also received the news and was astonished, ¡°My little disciple is going topete with a kid named Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°Yes, this Yang Xiaotian is Young Master Yang Zhong¡¯s cousin, just a few days younger than him,¡± her subordinate Liao Chengfei exined. ¡°However, this Yang Xiaotian awakened a second-rank Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°A second-rank Giant Tortoise Martial Soul dares topete with my little disciple?¡± Cheng Beibeiughed, ¡°Isn¡¯t this just asking for a beating? Let¡¯s go; we¡¯ll also have some fun watching.¡±


    Having said that, she led Liao Chengfei and the others towards the Yang Family Manor Martial Arts Stage.


    Suddenly, a crowd gathered around the Martial Arts Stage.


    Upon arriving, Chen Yuan looked up at Yang Xiaotian on the Martial Arts Stage and chuckled, ¡°Little guy, I remember you saidst time that when my disciple returned, you wanted to defeat him with one move, right? You¡¯d better give it everything you¡¯ve gotter. If my disciple defeats you with one strike, that would be quite an embarrassment.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°And what if I defeat your disciple?¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Yuanughed heartily, stroking his chin¡¯s beard, ¡°If you really defeat my disciple, then I will take you on as my disciple.¡±


    Thanks to the training over the past few days, his disciple Yang Zhong¡¯s strength had changed drastically.


    How could Yang Xiaotian possibly be a match for his disciple?


    ¡°But, be careful. My disciple is very strong now, beyond your imagination,¡± Chen Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Yang Zhong in front of him.


    Princess Cheng Beibei shook her head with a chuckle, ¡°A second-rank Martial Soul has the audacity to want to defeat my little disciple?¡±


    ¡°How idiotic.¡±


    Cheng Beibei¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but many people at the scene heard her.


    Yang Zhong looked at Yang Xiaotian, his Fighting Spirit churning, and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, summon your Martial Soul, and make your move first.¡±


    However, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°You make the first move instead, so you don¡¯t end up crying from a single punch likest time.¡±


    Last time, Yang Zhong had let Yang Xiaotian make the first move, and as a result, he was beaten into having panda eyes.


    Reminded of the disgraceful scene at thest annual gathering, Yang Zhong couldn¡¯t help but feel irked. Suddenly, heunched a punch towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take this punch!¡±


    Yang Zhong¡¯s strike was like a tiger bursting out of its cage, his punch faintly carrying the might of a fierce tiger.


    ¡°Late third rank!¡±


    The Yang Family Manor guards present were shocked.


    After Yang Zhong¡¯s breakthrough to the third rank, neither Yang Ming nor Yang Hai had publicized it, so the guards were astonished to see Yang Zhong had now reached thete third rank.


    Both Yang Ming and Yang Hai were also taken aback.


    In Yang Zhong¡¯s letter home, he only mentioned breaking through to the third rank but did not specify reaching thete phase of the third rank.


    Both had assumed that Yang Zhong had merely managed a breakthrough to the third rank.


    ¡°Good, good, indeed a fine grandson of mine!¡± Yang Ming, watching Yang Zhong on the Martial Arts Stage, said excitedly.


    His grandson Yang Zhong had given him a huge surprise indeed.


    ¡°Thisd, he¡¯s got my ir from back in the day,¡± Yang Hai alsoughed heartily, showing his excitement.


    He, too, hadn¡¯t expected his son to give him such a big surprise.


    Chen Yuan also revealed a satisfied smile, his disciple Yang Zhong had exceeded his expectations, and he was incredibly pleased.


    Yang Ming asked Chen Yuan, ¡°Lord Chen Yuan, the technique that Zhong¡¯er is using, is that the Tiger King Fist?¡±


    The Tiger King Fist was one of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s supreme postnatal martial arts techniques, and it was well-known to Yang Ming.


    ¡°Exactly, it¡¯s the Tiger King Fist,¡± Chen Yuan confirmed with a smile.


    Amid the audience¡¯s admiration, Yang Zhong¡¯s punch reached in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Watching the tiger-like Yang Zhong strike, Yang Xiaotian remained unruffled. Lifting his hand, he let the fourth-rank Acquired power flow and casually threw out a punch.


    Boom!


    Their fists collided.


    Brilliant light trembled.


    Suddenly, Yang Zhong, who had charged like a fierce tiger, was sent flying out like a frayed leaf or a tattered piece of silk.


    In the end, he mmed into the edge of the Martial Arts Stage.


    The impact sent dust scattering all around the edge of the stage.

    Allughter, excitement, and joy came to an abrupt halt.


    Yang Ming, Yang Hai, and Chen Yuan were stunned.


    Cheng Beibei was stunned.


    All the guards of Yang Family Manor were stunned.


    Even Yang Chao and Huang Ying werepletely dumbfounded.


    ¡°Fourth, fourth rank!¡± Chen Yuan stuttered, looking at Yang Xiaotian standing on the Martial Arts Stage with disbelief.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Yang Hai was equally incredulous.


    A second-rank Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, breaking through to the fourth rank in less than two months?


    While everyone was shocked and in disbelief, Yang Ling¡¯er was pping andughing: ¡°Brother is awesome!¡±


    At that moment, Yang Zhong, who had been sted to the edge of the Martial Arts Stage, struggled through the pain as he got up, stared furiously at Yang Xiaotian, unable to ept what was before his eyes: ¡°How can you be stronger than me with a second-rank Giant Tortoise Martial Soul!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    Having said that, he once again channeled his Fighting Spirit and bombarded Yang Xiaotian like mad.


    ¡°Tiger King descending the mountain!¡± he roared.


    ¡°Tiger King descending the mountain¡± was the most powerful attack of the Tiger King Fist.


    This move, like a fierce tiger rushing down from a high mountain, had an unstoppable force.


    This punch from Yang Zhong was undoubtedly much stronger than the previous one.


    If this punchnded, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ribs were likely to be broken in several ces.


    The power of Fighting Spirit at thete third rank could blow away an adult when exerted with full force.


    However, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even look and just raised his hand to throw another punch.


    Bang!


    Their fists collided.


    Yang Zhong was once again blown away like leaves in a strong wind, this time directly off the Martial Arts Stage and onto the ground below.


    The ground shook.


    Seeing Yang Zhong thrown to the ground, everyone¡¯s hearts were deeply shaken.


    ¡°Zhong¡¯er.¡± Yang Hai snapped out of his reverie and rushed to Yang Zhong¡¯s side, picked up Yang Zhong, and found that his injuries were not severe, only that he had fainted; only then did he heave a sigh of relief.


    Yang Hai then turned and red furiously at Yang Chao: ¡°Yang Chao, aren¡¯t you going to admit it? You must have stolen the family¡¯s money to buy your son arge amount of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    Yang Ming also looked at his son Yang Chao with an unfriendly gaze.


    Clearly, he believed his eldest son¡¯s usation.


    Otherwise, how could Yang Xiaotian, with a second-rank Martial Soul, break through to the fourth rank so quickly.


    Unless Yang Xiaotian had consumed arge amount of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    ¡°Arge amount of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?¡± At this moment, Yang Xiaotian sneered: ¡°Do you think everyone is like your worthless son, needing to consume arge amount of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to break through to the third rank, or fourth rank?¡±


    Yang Hai¡¯s face turned red with anger: ¡°You!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian jumped down from the Martial Arts Stage and said to his still stunned parents Yang Chao and Huang Ying: ¡°Father, Mother, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying came to their senses, looking at their son Yang Xiaotian, yet not knowing what to say.


    Under theplex gazes of the crowd, Yang Xiaotian and the others left the scene.


    Back in the yard, Yang Chao and Huang Ying tried several times to ask their son what exactly had happened, but eventually they swallowed their words.


    However, the young girl Yang Ling¡¯er kept chattering excitedly without pause.


    That day, the Yang Xiaotian family moved out of Yang Family Manor.


    Due to the hasty timing, the newly purchased residence still had many areas overgrown with weeds. After moving, Yang Xiaotian and his family started to clear the weeds in every corner of the yard.


    They were busy until dusk, when Yang Xiaotian finally had time to go to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild to collect the remaining medicinal materials.


    At the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Wen Jingyi had been anxiously waiting. Seeing Yang Xiaotian arrive, her pretty face beamed with joy. She respectfully presented the medicinal materials to Yang Xiaotian, and also offered him the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s Purple Gold VIP Card.


    ¡°This Purple Gold VIP Card was personally instructed by our family head for me to present to you, sir. I hope you will ept it,¡± Wen Jingyi said cautiously and respectfully. ¡°From now on, sir, when youe to ourmerce guild to purchase anything, you can enjoy a twenty percent discount.¡±


    A twenty percent discount?


    Yang Xiaotian did not decline and epted it.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian ept the Purple Gold VIP Card, Wen Jingyi was ted. Then Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked, ¡°Is that Wen Jiawei a member of your Wen Family?¡±


    Wen Jingyi noted the tone in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t right, and her heart skipped a beat, filled with nervousness. ¡°Wen Jiawei is my cousin. Has he offended you, sir?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll have hime right now to kowtow and apologize to you, sir,¡± she began.


    Yang Xiaotian interrupted her, ¡°No need. Just tell him to avoid getting too close to Zeng Hongsen of the Zeng Family.¡±


    Wen Jingyi grasped the implication in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, and her heart lightened. She immediately promised, ¡°Rest assured, sir. I will order him to sever ties with Zeng Hongsen of the Zeng Family.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian remained nomittal, disappearing into the darkness just as he had thest time, gradually fading from Wen Jingyi¡¯s sight.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian vanish before her eyes, Wen Jingyi took a deep breath and immediately had someone drag Wen Jiawei back from the tavern, severely reprimanding him.


    Although Wen Jiawei was Wen Jingyi¡¯s cousin, his status in the family was worlds apart from hers, and he was terrified by the scolding.


    Upon learning that Zeng Hongsen had offended a mysterious alchemist, and that it had implicated him, Wen Jiawei immediately harbored resentment towards Zeng Hongsen.


    No sooner had Wen Jiawei returned to his own residence and settled down than he heard a report from his subordinates that Zeng Hongsen of the Zeng Family hade to visit.


    Upon hearing this, Wen Jiawei was livid and stormed out.


    Zeng Hongsen, who had been waiting outside the main gate, happily came forward when he saw Wen Jiawei appear. But before he could speak, he saw Wen Jiawei suddenly deliver a kick to his chest, sending him flying several meters.


    Dumbfounded, Zeng Hongsen looked at Wen Jiawei, ¡°Sir, why?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Wen Jiawei charged forward again, delivering another fierce kick, sending Zeng Hongsen rolling away once more.


    ¡°Why?¡± Wen Jiawei stared at Zeng Hongsen with a murderous gaze. ¡°You¡¯re asking me why? You offended that mysterious alchemist and now want to drag me down with you?¡±


    A mysterious alchemist?


    Zeng Hongsen waspletely confused.


    When had he ever offended an alchemist?


    ¡°Sir, I didn¡¯t,¡± Zeng Hongsen hurriedly tried to exin.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t?¡± Wen Jiawei scoffed. ¡°In the future, let me not see you again, or every time I do, I¡¯ll beat you up.¡± He then added fiercely, ¡°Get lost, and if you dare toe to my estate again, I will break your legs!¡±


    Seeing that Wen Jiawei was not joking, Zeng Hongsen didn¡¯t dare to exin anymore. He hurriedly picked himself up and scrambled away, disappearing into the end of the street.


    Upon returning to his ce, Zeng Hongsen grew increasingly angry as he thought about it. He really couldn¡¯t figure out what alchemist he had offended that made Wen Jiawei so infuriated with him.


    ¡°Family head, today Yang Chao¡¯s family has already moved into their new residence,¡± one of his subordinates came in to report at this moment. ¡°Shall we let our people take action tonight as nned?¡±


    Looking at the gap in the mirror where Yang Chao had knocked out his teeth, Zeng Hongsen coldly said, ¡°Tell them to do it tonight. Knock out all of Yang Chao¡¯s teeth one by one for me.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Understood.¡± Zeng Hongsen ordered his subordinate to go.


    Yang Xiaotian, after returning from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, reviewed the prescription for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill once again.


    However, just as he was about to start refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he heard a slight noise outside the courtyard.


    Yang Xiaotian listened carefully, his eyes turning cold.


    At that time, five figures quietly approached the manor under the cover of night.


    ¡°Is this the new residence that Yang Chao bought?¡± The leader, Xie Qing, looked at the somewhat old manor before him.


    ¡°Yes, Lord Xie Qing,¡± another person hurried forward, respectfully smiling, ¡°Our master has said that he wants to smash all of Yang Chao¡¯s teeth.¡±


    Xie Qingughed, ¡°Zeng Hongsen is too squeamish. If it were up to me, I¡¯d take out Yang Chao and his family of four. Zeng Hongsen doesn¡¯t dare, but I¡¯ll do it for him.¡±


    As his words fell, suddenly, a cold snort sounded.


    ¡°Who?!¡± Xie Qing was immediately alert.


    At that moment, a sh of sword light emerged from the darkness.


    Xie Qing was about to dodge, but felt a chill at his throat. Touching his neck, he found his hand was covered in blood.


    He stood frozen in ce, disbelievingly staring at the seven or eight-year-old child emerging from the darkness.


    ¡°You!¡± His mouth opened, then he fell over.


    The sudden turn of events stunned the other figures.


    ¡°Are you Yang Chao¡¯s son?¡± One of them asked Yang Xiaotian, his voice trembling as he stepped forward.


    He had followed Zeng Hongsen one day and had seen Yang Xiaotian once.


    Wasn¡¯t Yang Chao¡¯s son equipped with a Level 2 Giant Tortoise Martial Soul?


    Yet he had just killed Xie Qing, ate-stage Innate Grandmaster!


    That was ate-stage Innate Grandmaster!


    Killed by a single sword strike!


    ¡°All of you, should die!¡± Yang Xiaotian uttered each word distinctly, his voice as ifing from hell. Then, he turned into a ck afterimage, thrusting out the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand.


    The remaining four were frightened into a panicked retreat, but it was toote. Multiple sword Qi sted down from above, instantly drilling through their heads from the top.


    A shocking sword gash extended from the center of their foreheads to their lower bodies.


    After a pause, columns of blood sprayed from the tops of their heads.


    The five who hade, besides Xie Qing being an Innate Grandmaster, the other four were allte-stage peak tenth level¡ªhow could they possibly avoid Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heaven-Prating Single Sword Strike.


    Yang Xiaotian coldly regarded the five corpses.


    In his previous life, he hadn¡¯t had the power to protect his master. This life, he wouldn¡¯t allow anyone to threaten his family¡¯s safety.


    After cleaning up the five bodies, he headed towards Zeng Hongsen¡¯s residence.


    By this time, Zeng Hongsen was still struggling to recall if he had unintentionally offended any pharmacist recently, but he still had no clue.


    ¡°Master, in my opinion, we should just finish it, once and for all, simply kill off Yang Chao¡¯s entire family,¡± suggested Zeng Hongsen¡¯s steward.


    Zeng Hongsen shook his head, ¡°Although Yang Hai and Yang Chao are at odds, if we kill Yang Chao¡¯s family, the Yang Family Manor will definitely investigate. Let¡¯s talk about this another time.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go inside and drink, and wait for the good news from Xie Qing and the others.¡±


    Just as Zeng Hongsen and hispanion were about to enter the house, suddenly a cold voice rose, ¡°No need to wait, they won¡¯t being back.¡±


    Zeng Hongsen and hispanion turned around in shock.


    When they saw it was Yang Xiaotian who stepped forward, they were baffled.


    ¡°You are, Yang Chao¡¯s son?¡± Zeng Hongsen was greatly surprised.


    The steward also looked at Yang Xiaotian with unsettled surprise.


    ¡°`


    How did Yang Chao¡¯s son break into Zeng Family¡¯s manor?


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian suddenly shed, arriving in front of the Zeng Family steward, with the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword appearing in his hand, a single stroke swept across.


    Instantly, the Sword Qi spread out like ripples on the surface of ake, passing over the steward¡¯s neck in a sh.


    The Zeng Family steward¡¯s face filled with shock. He just tried to reach for his neck, but found he couldn¡¯t lift his hand at all.


    Then, his head rolled off his neck and fell to the ground.


    There was a resounding ¡°thud.¡±


    Blood sttered everywhere.


    Zeng Hongsen¡¯s face changed drastically with rm, he gripped therge knife in his hand. However, just as he was about to strike, a sh of sword light appeared before his eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s long sword was already at his throat.


    ¡°You, you!¡± Zeng Hongsen looked at Yang Xiaotian before him with a terrified gaze, his speech incoherent.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Wen Jiawei warn you today?¡± Yang Xiaotian coldly regarded Zeng Hongsen.


    Zeng Hongsen¡¯s mind thundered.


    ¡°It¡¯s you! You are the mysterious Alchemist!¡±


    The man Wen Jiawei spoke of, was Yang Chao¡¯s son?


    Yang Chao¡¯s son was actually an Alchemist?!


    Zeng Hongsen was shaken to his core.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were icy as his long sword slowly pierced into Zeng Hongsen¡¯s throat.


    Blood gushed out, constantly flowing onto the de of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    Zeng Hongsen¡¯s eyes bulged, he wanted to speak, but nothing came out.


    Finally, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword pierced through the back of Zeng Hongsen¡¯s neck.


    Yang Xiaotian pulled out the sword.


    Zeng Hongsen tried to speak, tried to staunch the bleeding at his throat with his hands.


    In the end, he copsed to the ground, the surrounding blue bricks stained red with blood.


    He wanted to look at Yang Xiaotian but could only see the blood-stained blue bricks before his eyes.


    He wanted to recall something, but his mind was nk, and eventually, everything before his eyes slipped intoplete darkness.


    Yang Xiaotian took a nce at Zeng Hongsen¡¯s gradually cooling corpse and vanished in a sh.


    After returning to his own courtyard, he took a breather and began constructing the Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    The Innate Spirit Pill was far more difficult to make than the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, and missing even a single step meant failing to create the pill. Therefore, Yang Xiaotian was extremely cautious during the process.


    He carefully controlled the fire of Heaven and Earth as it slowly calcined the medicinal ingredients.


    To make the Innate Spirit Pills, one couldn¡¯t simply put all the ingredients together like when creating Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, instead, a few ingredients had to be added first. Once they werepletely melted, others were added.


    As the process continued, the melting of the ingredients became slower, and the consumption of Innate True Qi increasingly greater.


    At first, it wasn¡¯t too difficult, but as it went on, Yang Xiaotian found it more and more taxing.


    Fortunately, after several hours, just when Yang Xiaotian was almost at his limit, nearly a hundred types of medicinal ingredients finallypletely melted. Amid his tension, they gradually began to condense into pills.


    Seeing the pills finally formed, Yang Xiaotian let out a huge sigh of relief, copsing to the ground, panting. He touched his forehead, sweating profusely.


    He had not expected that creating the Innate Spirit Pills would consume such a vast amount of Innate True Qi. He was lucky his True Qi was profound, for if it were any other second-tier Innate cultivator, they couldn¡¯t have possibly seeded.


    Looking at the crystal-clear, enchantingly fragrant Four Symbols Spirit Pill before him, Yang Xiaotian smiled. This Spirit Pill was of a higher quality than the two he had obtained from Hu Lie before, it was superior.


    With this superior Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he should be able to break through to the third level of the Innate realm.

    ¡°`


    However, seeing that it was about to dawn, Yang Xiaotian was in no rush to consume the Four Symbols Spirit Pill for cultivation.


    He safely stored the Four Symbols Spirit Pill and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    After days of relentless cultivation, Yang Xiaotian felt that he could awaken the second head of the True Dragon Power soon.


    Once he awakened the second head of the True Dragon Power, his strength, as well as defense and speed, would skyrocket again.


    At this time, just as the sky was getting light, Yang Chao came out of the mansion¡¯s main gate and smelled a faint scent of blood.


    He looked around suspiciously.


    Finally, he saw several patches of blood on the street not far from the main gate.


    The bloodstains, dried by the night breeze, had already be very faint.


    Yang Chao touched the ground with his finger and judged that the bloodstains were likely left the previous night.


    Could there have been a fight herest night?


    However, he hadn¡¯t heard any noise of a fight.


    After investigating without finding anything, Yang Chao went to the market in Xingyue City to buy some new furnishings, but as he passed by the Zeng Family Mansion, he saw white cloth hanging all over the mansion, and wails of crying emanated from within.


    Yang Chao felt curious and inquired with a passerby, only to be shocked, ¡°What, Zeng Hongsen was killedst night?¡±


    ¡°Not just Zeng Hongsen, his steward was also killed,¡± the passerby spoke in a hushed voice. ¡°I hear the steward¡¯s head was chopped off and rolled several meters away after it was found on the ground.¡±


    Yang Chao felt a turmoil inside.


    Even though Zeng Hongsen¡¯s steward wasn¡¯t an Innate Fourth Stage Grandmaster, he was still at thete stages of Innate Level Three. It was hard to believe that he too had been killed.


    ¡°Zeng Hongsen and his steward are killed, and no other experts from the Zeng Family heard the fight?¡± Yang Chao asked.


    The passerby shook his head, ¡°No, the Zeng Family experts didn¡¯t hear any noise of a fight. Both seem to have been swiftly killed by the attacker in one move, which is why there was no noise.¡±


    Killed swiftly in one move?


    Yang Chao was even more shocked.


    Whoever could kill Zeng Hongsen and his steward in one move definitely possessed power beyond the Innate Fifth Stage.


    Who could it be?


    Not many in Xingyue City were capable of swiftly killing Zeng Hongsen in one move.


    Could it have been an expert from outside the city?


    The Zeng Family was also a major n in Xingyue City, and with Zeng Hongsen, the head of the family, being killed, it caused a greatmotion in the city.


    Meanwhile, Wen Jiawei, who had just gotten up in the morning, was so frightened upon hearing the news of Zeng Hongsen¡¯s murder that he was in aplete panic.


    ¡°Dead, dead!¡± Wen Jiawei¡¯s mind thundered, and then he remembered the mysterious alchemist his cousin had spoken of, sending chills down his spine.


    Luckily, he had sent Zeng Hongsen awayst night. If Zeng Hongsen had stayed at his mansion, who knows what might have happened.


    The more Wen Jiawei thought about it, the more frightened he became.


    At this time, in the Yang Family Manor¡¯s courtyard, Chen Yuan was also in distress.


    Yesterday, when Yang Xiaotian and Yang Zhong had their bout, he had publicly dered that if Yang Xiaotian defeated Yang Zhong, he would take Yang Xiaotian as a disciple.


    But Yang Xiaotian just had a second-level Martial Soul.


    He, the Deputy Dean of Divine Sword Academy, taking a disciple with only a second-level Martial Soul?


    If word got out, wouldn¡¯t he be the joke of the entire Divine Sea Country?


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But if he didn¡¯t ept, wouldn¡¯t he be someone who went back on his word?


    When that gets out, how would others view Chen Yuan?


    Chen Yuan expressed his predicament to Princess Cheng Beibei.


    Upon hearing this, Cheng Beibei said, ¡°Master, you needn¡¯t be troubled. If Master doesn¡¯t wish to take him as a disciple, we can just give him somepensation; I doubt he will dare to harbor any resentment.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, with a second-level Martial Soul, if he were to take her Master as his teacher, wouldn¡¯t that make him her junior brother?


    She, as the fourth princess of the Divine Sea Country, holds such a noble status. If someone with a second-level Martial Soul became her junior brother, that would be a great loss of face for her.


    ¡°Compensation?¡± Chen Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    Cheng Beibei stated, ¡°I have a portion of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid here. The top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid is hard toe by in the market. When the timees, we¡¯ll give this top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to Yang Xiaotian; he will surely be ovee with gratitude.¡±


    Chen Yuan nodded and immediately had someone summon Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian to the Yang Family Manor.


    Just as Yang Chao had returned to his residence from buying new furniture in the market, he received the summons and hurriedly brought Yang Xiaotian to the Yang Family Manor.


    Seeing Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian arrive, Chen Yuan carefully chose his words before saying to them, ¡°Yesterday, during Xiaotian¡¯s match with Zhong¡¯er, I said that if Xiaotian were to win, I would take Xiaotian as my disciple.¡±


    ¡°At the time, it was said in jest. I hope you won¡¯t take it seriously.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian himself didn¡¯t want to be Chen Yuan¡¯s disciple, so he didn¡¯t mind what was said.


    However, Yang Chao felt a deep sense of disappointment upon hearing this.


    At that moment, Princess Cheng Beibei took out the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Here is a portion of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, my master¡¯spensation to you.¡±


    She then ced the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid on a table to the side, waiting for Yang Xiaotian toe and take it.


    ¡°You should thank my master,¡± added Cheng Beibei.


    Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid on the table. To him now, even the highest-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was trash.


    Did Chen Yuan and Cheng Beibei really think he would covet their top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?


    ¡°No need. Keep the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for your own use,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Cheng Beibei.


    What he couldn¡¯t stand the most was Cheng Beibei¡¯s condescending attitude, as if she were bestowing charity.


    Cheng Beibei had expected Yang Xiaotian to happilye forward and take the Spiritual Liquid. Upon hearing his response, she frowned and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t bite the hand that feeds you. Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid is hard to find in the market. Were it not for us, you likely wouldn¡¯t have the chance to even see it in your lifetime.¡±


    Chen Yuan was also taken aback.


    He had not expected Yang Xiaotian to refuse the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Yang Xiaotian looked indifferently at Cheng Beibei and said to his father Yang Chao, ¡°Father, let¡¯s go!¡±


    Just then, Chen Yuan suddenly spoke up, ¡°Wait.¡± He then addressed Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Child, we mean no harm or prejudice towards you. May I have another look at your Martial Soul?¡±


    Although Yang Hai was convinced Yang Xiaotian had rapidly improved by consumingrge quantities of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, he was still curious and wanted to take another look at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°No need. It¡¯s unnecessary.¡±


    Yet Yang Chao spoke up, ¡°Xiaotian, since Chen Yuan wishes to have another look at your Martial Soul, summon your Martial Soul again and let Chen Yuan have a look.¡±


    In truth, he was equally puzzled.


    Because he knew that he had never given his son any Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to ingest.


    Seeing the earnest look in his father¡¯s eyes, Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before finally summoning his ck Tortoise Martial Soul again.


    Instantly, intense ck light surged.

    ¡°`


    A gigantic turtle emerged in front of the few people.


    The shell of the giant turtle was pitch-ck and shiny, with intricate patterns emitting a mysterious aura, while the ck Snake wrapped around the turtle was also pulsating with light.


    Chen Yuan gasped in surprise.


    Compared to just over a month ago, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul had undergone a noticeable change.


    Over a month ago, there were no such patterns on the giant turtle¡¯s shell, and the shell was dim andckluster, with the ck Snake being very small, but now, the giant turtle¡¯s shell was shiny and ck, and the ck Snake had grown significantly.


    The ck scales of the ck Snake were even flickering with a chilling brilliance.


    Yang Chao had also not expected his son¡¯s Martial Soul to have changed so much, and was stunned.


    The initially furious Cheng Beibei couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled.


    Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was indeed a giant turtle, it was very different from the ordinary Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.


    At least, a Level Two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul did not possess such a presence.


    She looked questioningly at her master, Chen Yuan.


    But Chen Yuan didn¡¯t look at her at all, instead, he leaned closer to Yang Xiaotian, intently staring at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul as if he was afraid he couldn¡¯t see clearly.


    The more Chen Yuan looked, the more astonished and doubtful he became.


    He could determine that the Martial Soul of the giant turtle before him was definitely not a Level Two Martial Soul.


    It¡¯s just that he couldn¡¯t identify what exactly the Martial Soul was, because he had never seen a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul that could change.


    Chen Yuan was so absorbed in observing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul that it took several calls from Cheng Beibei to bring him back to reality.


    Seeing both Yang Chao and Cheng Beibei looking at him with inquiring eyes, Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said, ¡°I cannot yet determine exactly what Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul is.¡±


    Yang Chao and Cheng Beibei were left speechless.


    After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan said to Yang Chao, ¡°How about this, Dean Lin is more advanced than me in the study of Martial Souls. Tomorrow, I would like to take Xiaotian back with me, so Dean Lin can reassess Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°If Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul really is extraordinary, I will rmend him for entry into Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    The Dean Lin he mentioned was none other than the Dean of Divine Sword Academy, Lin Yong.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Chao was ecstatic, ¡°Thank you so much, Lord Chen Yuan!¡±


    The Divine Sword Academy was the best academy in Divine Sea Country.


    What father wouldn¡¯t want his son to enter Divine Sword Academy?


    Yang Xiaotian was about to refuse, but seeing the ecstatic joy on his father¡¯s face, he found himself unable to speak the words he had prepared.


    At this moment, Yang Zhong, who had been knocked unconscious by Yang Xiaotian the day before, had fully awakened. He threw things around the yard in rage, roaring, ¡°Yang Xiaotian is just a Level Two Martial Soul, how could I possibly lose to him!¡±


    Yang Hai¡¯s brows furrowed as he said, ¡°It must be that Yang Chao embezzled n funds to buy arge amount of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for his cultivation.¡±


    ¡°However, Yang Xiaotian is just a Level Two Martial Soul, no matter how much Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid he consumes, he can¡¯t break through to Innate.¡±


    ¡°You, with a top-tier Level Ten Green Phoenix Martial Soul, will be nurtured by Lord Chen Yuan and Divine Sword Academy, surely breaking through to Innate within a few years.¡±


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve broken through to Innate, you could crush him to death with just one finger.¡±


    Yang Zhong spoke bitterly, ¡°Father is right, once I¡¯ve broken through to Innate, I will be able to crush him to death with just one finger.¡±


    ¡°Within five years, no, three years, I will definitely break through to Innate, and I¡¯ll show Yang Xiaotian the true gap between us!¡±


    At that time, a guard from Yang Family Manor came in to report, saying that Chen Yuan had summoned Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian.


    When he learned that Chen Yuan had summoned Yang Xiaotian but was refusing to take him on as a disciple, Yang Zhong sneered, ¡°My master would, of course, never take on a Level Two Martial Soul as his disciple.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°However, Lord Chen Yuan took another look at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and even said he wants to take Yang Xiaotian back to Divine Sword Academy for Dean Lin to reassess,¡± stated the Yang Family Manor guard.


    ¡°Reassess?¡± Yang Hai and Yang Zhong were surprised.


    ¡°Yes, and Lord Chen Yuan mentioned, if Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul is extraordinary, he will rmend him to the Divine Sword Academy,¡± the guard continued.


    ¡°What, rmend him to the Divine Sword Academy!¡± Yang Zhong was extremely angry. ¡°Is that really what Master said?¡±


    Yang Hai, on the other hand, remainedposed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul is a Giant Tortoise, a fact witnessed by everyone, absolutely certain. Even if it¡¯s reassessed a hundred times, it will still be the Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.¡±


    He then said confidently, ¡°Dean Lin would never allow a student with a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul to join Divine Sword Academy!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Zhong calmed down andughed, ¡°Father is right, with a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, he wouldn¡¯t even be epted into the lowest ranking academy, let alone the Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    Half an hourter, Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian returned to their new house in Xingyue City.


    Yang Chao shared the good news with his wife, Huang Ying, who was very excited. She said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, if you truly can enter Divine Sword Academy in the future, you must work hard in your cultivation, understand?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated, ¡°Actually, even if I don¡¯t go to Divine Sword Academy, it¡¯s alright. Mother needn¡¯t worry about me.¡± He then added, ¡°I should have some talent in alchemy. I will strive to be an Alchemist in the future.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Huang Ying smiled wryly, ¡°You child, always saying such off-the-wall things.¡±


    Yang Chao also shook his head with a smile.


    This child, how could he possibly know how difficult it is to be an Alchemist.


    If it were so easy to be an Alchemist, the Yang Family Manor wouldn¡¯t be without a single one.


    At this moment, Yang Ling¡¯erughed, ¡°I believe brother will definitely be an Alchemist someday,¡± then she yfully winked.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled. He knew the little girl didn¡¯t really believe he could be an Alchemist; she was only saying this tofort her brother.


    Huang Ying gently pinched Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s nose andughed, ¡°In the future, my Ling¡¯er might even be an Alchemist as well.¡±


    ¡°Mother is just making fun of me,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue.


    They allughed together.


    Momentster, Yang Xiaotian returned to his room, took out the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, and swallowed it.


    With the cirction of the Primordial Dragon Art, the power of the Four Symbols Spirit Pill was rapidly transformed into Innate True Qi.


    The vortex of Qi in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Dantian expanded visibly at an astounding rate.


    Soon, it had swelled to ten meters in size.


    Next to the second vortex, a third one began to form and solidify.


    It wasn¡¯t untilte into the night that Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating and inspected the threerge Qi vortices in his Dantian with inner sight, feeling delighted.


    The Four Symbols Spirit Pill had lived up to his expectations; he had just barely broken through to the third level of the Innate Realm.


    Furthermore, after this breakthrough, he felt one step closer to awakening the second True Dragon Power.


    Looking at the night sky, Yang Xiaotian left his yard with a swift motion.


    He was to go to Divine Sword City tomorrow and needed to visit the valley cave dwelling.


    However, as Yang Xiaotian approached the valley, he detected a scent of blood.


    Then, from ahead, came the agonized cry of a Spirit Beast in pain.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face changed, it was the Golden Armored Beast!


    The Golden Armored Beast was injured!

 Chapter 22 - 22 Yang Ming, Blind as a Bat

    22 Chapter 22 Yang Ming, Blind as a Bat


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but quicken his pace, dashing forward urgently.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the scene.


    At the site, two people were besieging a Golden Armored Beast, with one person watching from the side.


    One of the attackers was none other than Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch of Xingyue City.


    The other person, dressed in the Xingyue City Lord¡¯s Mansion guard armor, appeared to be an expert from the Xingyue City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    As for the young onlooker, he was dressed in a milk-white Alchemist¡¯s robe, with a conspicuous star-shaped badge affixed to his chest.


    A one-star Alchemist!


    Having been in this world for many years, Yang Xiaotian had never seen an Alchemist until now.


    The Pharmacist¡¯s robe and badge of a one-star Alchemist were issued by the Pharmacists¡¯ Guild, highlighting the dignity that set them apart from martial artists.


    There was only one Alchemist in the whole of Xingyue City, and Yang Xiaotian immediately guessed that this person must be Qiu Haiqiu, whom the City Lord of Xingyue regarded as a guest of honor.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s guess was correct; the young man was indeed Qiu Haiqiu.


    Although Qiu Haiqiu was only in his twenties, he had passed the one-star Alchemist examination a few years ago and, in addition, his strength was at the Innate fifth-level Grandmaster, making him one of the most dazzling young talents in Divine Sea Country.


    If not for the City Lord of Xingyue¡¯s cordial invitationbined with the two families being long-time friends, he would not havee to Xingyue City.


    Qiu Haiqiu, watching the blood ooze from the wounds of the Golden Armored Beast,ughed and said, ¡°This beast is truly extraordinary, its blood contains golden liquid. It seems that it might have the potential for ancestral return. Using its blood in Alchemy, even an Innate Spirit Pill could be elevated by one quality level.¡±


    ¡°We must not let this beast escape.¡±


    The one executing the attack on the Golden Armored Beast alongside Li Guang was the Guard Captain of the Xingyue City Lord¡¯s Mansion, Lin Chengxin, who chuckled and said, ¡°Young Master Qiu, rest assured, this beast cannot escape.¡±


    ¡°However, let¡¯s not kill it just yet, catch it alive. I want to drain its blood dry bit by bit!¡± Qiu Haiqiu said this and suddenly stopped, turning towards the distance, a look of surprise on his face.


    Off in the distance, a child around seven or eight years old was walking over.


    At this moment, both Li Guang and Lin Chengxin saw Yang Xiaotian as well, both shocked.


    While the two were shocked, the Golden Armored Beast swept its tail, forcing the two men back, then came to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, angrily motioning with its forelimbs, looking very angry, excited, and wronged.


    ¡°Are you Yang Ming¡¯s grandson?¡± Although the night was somewhat dark, Li Guang still recognized Yang Xiaotian.


    Hearing that he was Yang Ming¡¯s grandson, both Qiu Haiqiu and Lin Chengxin were taken aback.


    ¡°Is he Yang Zhong?¡± Qiu Haiqiu¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    If the child before him was Yang Zhong, that would be a problem.


    After all, Yang Zhong was now the disciple of Chen Yuan.


    Li Guang rified, ¡°No, his name is Yang Xiaotian.¡± He then smiled and said, ¡°The Martial Soul he awakened is a second-grade Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qiu Haiqiu felt relieved inside.


    Since he was not that Yang Zhong, it would be an easy matter.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the wounds on the body of the Golden Armored Beast, his eyes coldly fixed on Li Guang and the three individuals.


    ¡°Kid, by the looks of it, you want to make a move against us?¡± Qiu Haiqiu smirked at Li Guang, ¡°Kill him!¡±


    Li Guang nodded, about to step forward, when Lin Chengxin chuckled and said, ¡°No need for the Li Family Patriarch to act, I¡¯ll do it.¡± He walked towards Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Little fellow, in your next life, remember not to wander alone at night, or else, it could cost you your life.¡±


    After Lin Chengxin finished speaking, he sliced his de towards Yang Xiaotian.


    The de aura reached the top of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head instantly.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to be split in two by Lin Chengxin¡¯s de, suddenly, a sword light cut through the darkness. Lin Chengxin had no time to react before feeling a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw his heart had been pierced by a long sword.


    He looked in disbelief at Yang Xiaotian, who was holding the sword.


    ¡°You too, in your next life, remember not to wander at night, or else, it could cost you your life,¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, as he withdrew the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword from the body, resheathing it in one fluid motion.


    Blood instantly soaked the front of Lin Chengxin¡¯s chest and below.


    Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu were both stunned.


    It was only after Lin Chengxin fell to the ground that the two of them reacted.


    ¡°You!¡± Both Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu were shocked to their core.


    They actually didn¡¯t see clearly how Yang Xiaotian drew his sword.


    Lin Chengxin, serving as the Captain of the Guards for the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Xingyue City, was naturally not weak, being a peakte-stage expert of Innate Level Four, and was expected to break through to Innate Level Five within a year.


    Yet, such an expert had been killed!


    Killed by an eight-year-old child.


    Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu both looked at Yang Xiaotian in the night, suddenly feeling fear, and simultaneously stepped back.


    An eight-year-old child, who had just awakened his Martial Soul not long ago, turned out to be an Innate Grandmaster!


    They felt chills down their spines.


    Qiu Haiqiu was even more uncontrobly angry as he red at Li Guang, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say this kid had a level two Martial Soul?¡±


    Just as Li Guang was about to speak, Yang Xiaotian suddenly levitated, swinging his sword in a fluid motion.


    The sword light surged.


    No, it was a sword screen.


    Layer uponyer of sword screens bloomed like magnificent fireworks in the darkness.


    ¡°One Sword Instance!¡±


    Seeing the astonishing bloom of sword screens, the faces of Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu drastically changed, the formidable sword screens actually made them feel a strong threat to their lives.


    In their shock and anger, theyunched their strongest attack with their long swords.


    This was their mightiest strike in their lives.


    Just to defend against the sword screen in front of them.


    They produced a series of sword lights.


    But, these sword lights were as if non-existent, the blooming sword screens from Yang Xiaotian instantly pierced through their sword lights, without the slightest hindrance, entering straight through their throats.


    They stopped in their tracks.


    Li Guang stood there, feeling as if the world had suddenly fallen silent.


    He gripped his long sword, trying to support his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn¡¯t keep himself upright.


    Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu almost simultaneously fell.


    They could even see blood continuously spouting from each other¡¯s throats.


    Yang Xiaotian walked over to them.


    Li Guang tried desperately to grasp at Yang Xiaotian but found that his hand couldn¡¯t reach him.


    He revealed a smile, his voice hoarse, ¡°Yang Ming, he¡¯s blinder than a blind dog, howughable.¡±


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t just Yang Ming who was blinder than a blind dog.


    He had never heard of anyone in the Martial Soul World breaking through to Innate Grandmaster in less than two months.


    How could this Yang Xiaotian possibly have a level two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul?


    Was it a Supreme Martial Spirit, perhaps?


    Maybe, even more!


    This was hisst thought.


    Beside him, Qiu Haiqiu struggled to open his mouth, trying to breathe, but found that never before had breathing seemed such a luxury.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian,¡± Qiu Haiqiu mustered all his strength to say, wanting to brand this name deep into his soul.


    He was among the youngest Alchemists in Divine Sea Country, with an endlessly bright future ahead of him, but now, was he to die in a little Xingyue City?


    His heart was filled with too much unwillingness.


    His face pressed against the ground, the ground was so cold, ¡°My master, he will for me¡­¡±


    As he spoke, Qiu Haiqiu¡¯s voice abruptly stopped, and he moved no more.

 Chapter 23 I can sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within a 50-meter radius

    23 Chapter 23 I can sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within a 50-meter radius


    Yang Xiaotian rifled through the belongings of Qiu Haiqiu and his twopanions.


    Atst, he found a book of alchemical insights on Qiu Haiqiu''s body.


    Simrly, in the possessions of Li Guang and Lin Chengxin, he found a copy of the Spirit Snake Sword Technique and a beginner''s manual on artifact forging.


    Yang Xiaotian threw the three bodies onto the mountain path and cleaned up the scene before taking the Golden Armored Beast back to the cave dwelling in the valley.


    With external injury spiritual medicines avable in the valley, Yang Xiaotian applied some to the wounds of the Golden Armored Beast.


    To his surprise, the Golden Armored Beast had an extremely strong ability to recover; within just a few hours, its wounds had rapidly healed.


    Yang Xiaotian took all the books and all the spiritual medicines from the cave dwelling in the valley.


    As he was not sure when he would return to Divine Sword City this time, he deemed these items useless if left behind, so he decided to take them all with him.


    He even took the Cold Jade Bed with him.


    Cultivating on the Cold Jade Bed could improve the speed of channeling energy, which would enhance his strength even faster over the years.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, the Golden Armored Beast bit onto the hem of his trousers, refusing to let go.


    "Do you want toe with me?" Yang Xiaotian understood the Golden Armored Beast''s intentions.


    The Golden Armored Beast hastily nodded.


    "But your size is toorge; it''s not convenient to follow me," Yang Xiaotian hesitated, then said.


    His trip to Divine Sword Academy would be somewhat hindered by the presence of a Spirit Beast.


    But then, the Golden Armored Beast''s body emitted a luminous fluctuation as it began to shrink continuously, until it was the size of a palm.


    Yang Xiaotian did not expect the Golden Armored Beast to be capable of altering its size and was greatly surprised and astounded.


    Golden Armored Beasts don''t have such a skill, do they?


    Could it be, as Qiu Haiqiu said, that this Golden Armored Beast possibly had the potential to return to its ancestral form?


    Yang Xiaotian nced back at the valley and then left with the Golden Armored Beast.


    When he returned to Xingyue City, it was still not yet dawn.


    But the entire Xingyue City was on alert, with soldiers from the City Lord''s Mansion patrolling and inspecting everywhere.


    It seemed that the death of Qiu Haiqiu and hispanions had already rmed the City Lord''s Mansion of Xingyue City.


    Yang Xiaotian''s expression remained unchanged as he returned to his courtyard and continued to forge the second Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    The remaining ingredients from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were enough to forge one more.


    Having had the experience of making the Four Symbols Spirit Pill once before, Yang Xiaotian was now much more proficient, and with the breakthrough to the third level of the Innate, his True Qi was more vigorous than before, making the pill forging not as strenuous as previously.


    In just two short hours, Yang Xiaotian managed to forge the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    By that time, the sky waspletely bright.


    He put away the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    An hourter, Chen Yuan embarked on his return journey to Divine Sword Academy.


    On the way through Xingyue City, he picked up Yang Xiaotian.


    At the time of parting, the little girl Yang Ling''er''s eyes were red from crying.


    "Big brother, when youe back next time, you have to bring me lots of delicious food," Yang Ling''er said, wiping away tears.


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    This little girl.


    He said with a wry smile, "Okay, when big brotheres back next time, I will definitely pass the pharmacist''s examination and then I''ll earn lots and lots of money, enough to buy you a mountain''s worth of delicious food."


    In Divine Sword City, there was a Pharmacists'' Hall where one could undergo the pharmacist assessment.


    Upon hearing these words, Yang Ling''er''s tears turned toughter.


    Princess Cheng Beibei, listening to Yang Xiaotian''smitment to pass the pharmacist''s examination, let out augh, "A level two Martial Soul dreaming of bing a pharmacist? That''s quite a grand daydream."


    Yang Zhong alsoughed, "Yang Xiaotian, if even you can be a pharmacist, then in this world, nearly everyone would be able to be a pharmacist."


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying saw their son boasting again and felt embarrassed.


    Under the watchful eyes of Yang Chao and the other two, the figure of Xiaotian and his party eventually disappeared at the end of the street.


    What Yang Chao and Huang Ying didn''t know was that before long, the name Xiaotian would resound throughout Divine Sea Country.


    On the road, Cheng Beibei was thinking about Xiaotian''s im to pass the alchemist examination and still felt ufortable. She said, "Xiaotian, do you think bing an alchemist is something you can just pass on a whim?"


    Then sheughed and asked, "Can you sense the Heaven and Earth Fire?"


    "You probably won''t have the chance to see the Heaven and Earth Fire in your lifetime!"


    Indeed, many people never had the chance to see an alchemist refining pills in their entire lives, so of course, they would never get to see the Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Hearing Cheng Beibei asking if he could sense the Heaven and Earth Fire, Xiaotian thought of the first time he sensed the Heaven and Earth Fire within a hundred meters range and said, "I can sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters."


    Cheng Beibei and others like Yang Zhong burst intoughter upon hearing this.


    Even Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile.


    "Fifty meters? Why don''t you say you can sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within a hundred meters?" Liao Chengfei, Cheng Beibei''s guard, mocked him with augh.


    Everyoneughed.


    Cheng Beibei spoke up, "Xiaotian, you probably don''t understand what fifty meters signifies. Even the four great alchemy grandmasters of Divine Sea Country can only sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters."


    Then she turned to Chen Yuan and asked, "Master, I''m not wrong, am I?"


    Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, "Correct. Even with the strong souls of the four great alchemy grandmasters of Divine Sea Country, we can only sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters." Then he looked at Xiaotian, "For someone as young as you to be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within fifty meters, that''s impossible."


    His implication was undoubtedly that Xiaotian was lying.


    Xiaotian''s expression remained calm, and he didn''t argue or exin himself.


    Afterward, Cheng Beibei and the others brought up the death of Qiu Haiqiu.


    "I don''t know who killed Qiu Haiqiu," Cheng Beibei said. "Now, the Pharmacists'' Guild of Divine Sea Country has already sent people to Xingyue City to thoroughly investigate the matter." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I don''t know if this person is reckless or ignorant. Feng Old Monster only had Qiu Haiqiu as a disciple, and now that he has been killed, wouldn''t he go mad?"


    Xiaotian couldn''t help but ask, "Feng Old Monster?"


    Cheng Beibei gave Xiaotian a look, "Feng Old Monster is Qiu Haiqiu''s master and also one of the strongest alchemists among the four greats of Divine Sea Country. Even if I told you, you wouldn''t understand."


    Xiaotian couldn''t help but think of Qiu Haiqiu''s final moments, no wonder he kept mentioning his master.


    However, he didn''t take it to heart.


    Even if Feng Old Monster turned Divine Sea Country upside down, it would be impossible for him to be suspected.


    After two days of swift travel, the group finally arrived at Divine Sword City.


    "Divine Sword City," Xiaotian looked at the towering walls of the enormous Divine Sword City in front of him, feeling the invisible Sword Qi permeating the city, and was profoundly moved.


    Divine Sword City was one of thergest and most prosperous cities in Divine Sea Country.


    It was also the ce all martial artists in Divine Sea Country yearned for.


    His father also had his adventures in Divine Sword City years ago.


    "Let''s enter the city," Chen Yuan gestured, and they all entered Divine Sword City.


    The gate guards of Divine Sword City, upon seeing Chen Yuan and Cheng Beibei''s group, hurriedly saluted them.


    Inside the city, it was even busier than Xiaotian had imagined.


    Convoys of various colors, masters from different races and sects were a constant stream.


    Xiaotian also saw members of the Dwarf n.


    The Dwarf n was recognized as the n of artifact refiners, with half of the top ten artifact refiners in the Martial Soul Worlding from their ranks.


    Besides the Dwarf n, there were also the Half-Beast People, the Elf n, and others.


    After crossing several bustling streets, the group finally arrived at the Divine Sword Academy.

 Chapter 24: The Growing Martial Soul

    24 Chapter 24: The Growing Martial Soul


    Divine Sword Academy, as the foremost of the four major academies in Divine Sea Country, was extremely imposing.


    The gates were actually constructed from countless swords.


    Countless swords were piled up upon one another, with sword Qi enveloping heaven and earth.


    Yang Xiaotian immediately discerned the mystery of the gate; these swords were not merely stacked, but arranged into a Sword Array.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian staring at the gate, Chen Yuan said, "This is a Sword Array. The array was jointly set up by our academy''s five great Elder Jians and is one of the strongest Sword Arrays in Divine Sea Country."


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and started observing it carefully.


    Yang Zhong saw Yang Xiaotian''s earnest appearance and sneered, "There''s no need to look anymore. So many talents in our Divine Sword Academy cannotprehend this Sword Array, let alone you. Even if you had a hundred years, you wouldn''t understand one ten-thousandth of it."


    At this moment, in Yang Xiaotian''s eyes, the swords in the gate seemed toe to life, constantly transforming.


    Finally, they formed a Five Elements Sword Formation.


    "Let''s go," Chen Yuan interrupted Yang Xiaotian, "I''ll take you to meet the Dean."


    He was eager to find out what exactly Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul was.


    Yang Xiaotian followed Chen Yuan and entered Divine Sword Academy.


    Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong also followed behind, both wanting to know the oue.


    After entering Divine Sword Academy and passing through an antechamber, they arrived at a za.


    There stood a hundred huge Stone Swords on the za.


    One hundred huge Stone Swords stood on both sides of the za, each ten meters tall, creating a profound visual impact.


    "This is Hundred Swords za."


    "It is one of Divine Sword Academy''s Sword Dao legacies."


    "Each Stone Sword contains a powerful set of Swordsmanship."


    "Many students oftene here to contemte the Sword Dao."


    Chen Yuan casually exined to Yang Xiaotian.


    "Has anyone ever fullyprehended all one hundred Stone Swords?" Yang Xiaotian asked curiously.


    Upon hearing this, Cheng Beibei said, "You think these are Acquired martial techniques, that you can understand them if you want to? Andprehend all one hundred? With your talent, if you canprehend any one of those Stone Swords, that would be your ancestors blessing you from beyond the grave."


    Yet Yang Xiaotian gazed deeply at the one hundred huge Stone Swords for a moment.


    After a while, Chen Yuan led Yang Xiaotian to the residence of Dean Lin Yong of Divine Sword Academy.


    Lin Yong was correcting his disciple Hu Xing''s Swordsmanship. Seeing Chen Yuan arrive, he stopped.


    The two exchanged pleasantries, and Chen Yuan exined his visit.


    "Oh, a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul that can transform?" Lin Yong looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment after hearing this.


    It was also his first time hearing that a level two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul could change.


    "Xiaotian, show your Martial Soul to Dean Lin," Chen Yuan said to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and summoned his ck Tortoise Martial Soul as instructed.


    Suddenly, ck light surged.


    The space around them grew dark.


    A giant tortoise entwined with a ck snake appeared before everyone.


    Compared to a few days earlier, the ck Tortoise and the ck snake had changed again. The ck Tortoise''s shell now had even more patterns, which emitted an unusual radiance.


    The ck scales of the ck Snake also disyed mysterious patterns.


    Chen Yuan also noticed the changes in Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul over thest few days, and he was surprised once again.


    Lin Yong looked at Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul with a surprised and puzzled expression and couldn''t help but take a few steps closer to carefully observe Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul.


    Everyone was silent.


    A momentter, a giant eye appeared behind Lin Yong.


    This eye was Lin Yong''s Martial Soul, the Deste Heaven Eye.


    The Deste Heaven Eye emitted strands of light that enveloped Yang Xiaotian''s ck Tortoise Martial Soul.


    Clearly, Lin Yong was using his Deste Heaven Eye to assess Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul.


    "Dean Lin, what do you think?" Chen Yuan asked eagerly.


    Cheng Beibei, Lin Yong, and Hu Xing also looked at Lin Yong.


    Lin Yong pondered for a moment and said, "His Martial Soul is indeed the Giant Tortoise Martial Soul." N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul was certainly that of a giant tortoise.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Zhong and Cheng Beibei both showed joy on their faces, and even Lin Yong''s disciple Hu Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    The day before, students from the academy had said that Chen Yuan would bring someone named Yang Xiaotian back for his master to assess his Martial Soul.


    They also said that this Yang Xiaotian had achieved a breakthrough to the fourth rank in just over a month, and his Martial Soul might even surpass Yang Zhong''s.


    Hu Xing, with the highest natural talent among the many students of Divine Sword Academy, naturally did not want another student with a higher talent than his own.


    Chen Yuan, after hearing Lin Yong''s answer, was very disappointed.


    He had thought that Yang Xiaotian might bring him a surprise.


    At that moment, Lin Yong added, "However, his Giant Tortoise Martial Soul is a growth-type Martial Soul."


    "A growth-type?" Chen Yuan was startled, then delighted, "Does that mean his Martial Soul can continuously grow and advance?"


    Lin Yong shook his head and said, "Not exactly. I read in an ancient book that such growth-type Martial Souls can only grow to a certain extent and there are innate limitations. For example, his Giant Tortoise Martial Soul is a second-rank Martial Soul, and it can at most grow to the sixth or seventh rank."


    At most it can grow to the sixth or seventh rank? Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.


    Yang Zhong, Cheng Beibei, and Hu Xingpletely rxed.


    Lin Yong looked at Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul and said regretfully, "What a pity, growth-type Martial Souls are extremely rare, but his Martial Soul is unfortunately a second-rank Giant Tortoise Martial Soul."


    If Yang Xiaotian''s Martial Soul Awakening was at the tenth level, then it might have the potential to grow into a Supreme Martial Spirit.


    Yang Xiaotian, hearing Lin Yong mention his growth-type Martial Soul, felt a stir in his heart. If his Martial Soul was of the growth type, did it mean his Supreme Martial Spirit could continue to grow?


    "You were able to break through to the fourth rank so quickly because you consumed elixirs, right?" Lin Yong asked Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian did not conceal the truth and replied, "Indeed, I have."


    Now, the reason he could quickly break through to the third rank of the Innate wasrgely due to the supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and the Four Symbols Spirit Pill he had concocted.


    Chen Yuan heard that Yang Xiaotian had consumed elixirs and shook his head inwardly, regretting his previous thought that the boy had achieved his breakthrough to the fourth rank through his own cultivation.


    However, on second thought, it made sense. His disciple Yang Zhong couldn''t have made such a quick breakthrough to the fourth rank, so how could this child achieve it through his own cultivation?


    Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then said to Lin Yong, "Dean Lin, since Xiaotian''s Martial Soul is of the growth type, is there a possibility that it could grow to the ninth rank in the future? Why don''t we let him stay at Divine Sword Academy temporarily to observe him?"


    Stay at Divine Sword Academy?


    Lin Yong pondered and then said, "Well, let''s keep the boy in the academy for a year. If he can break through to the seventh rank after one year, he can continue to stay at the academy."


    Hu Xing frowned. He clearly did not want a student with a second-rank Martial Soul like Yang Xiaotian to stay at Divine Sword Academy.


    Divine Sword Academy was the premier one among the four major academies of Divine Sea Country, and its recruiting standards required a Martial Soul to be at least at the ninth rank.


    However, since his master had already spoken, he did not interject.

 Chapter 25 Having a Room to Live in Is Already Good

    25 Chapter 25 Having a Room to Live in Is Already Good


    "Okay," Chen Yuan nodded as Lin Yong suggested that Yang Xiaotian stay for another year.


    He knew that Lin Yong''s offer for Yang Xiaotian to stay another year was already a great favor.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian''s expression remained unchanged.


    In fact, whether he stayed at Divine Sword Academy or not, he was indifferent.


    However, since his parents hoped that he would enter Divine Sword Academy, he decided to stay for a year before leaving after that period.


    After one year, he should be able to break through to the Martial King Realm.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian was assigned to ss Four in the first grade, which was known to have the worst talent in Divine Sword Academy. Of course, even the worst ss had at least a ninth-level Martial Soul.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian, with his "second-level Martial Soul," was an anomaly.


    Yang Xiaotian also shared a yard with the students of ss Four.


    The yard wasrge, and each student had their own private room.


    Yang Xiaotian''s room was allocated at the very back corner, on the outer edge of the yard.


    This location was undoubtedly where the spiritual energy was the weakest and the darkest ce, almost devoid of light.


    "This is your room," said Chen Bingyao, the ss Leader of ss Four, pointing to the room indifferently and tossing a key to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian frowned upon seeing the room and said, "Aren''t there many empty rooms at the front?"


    Chen Bingyao nced at Yang Xiaotian, "There are many empty rooms at the front, but do you think you deserve such a nice room with your talent?"


    "Your talent is the worst in the entire academy; to be precise, it''s the worst in the history of Divine Sword Academy. You should be grateful to have a room to stay in at all, rather than being choosy."


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian''s face darkened.


    "What, you''re not convinced?" said Chen Bingyao. "This was arranged by the teacher; if you''re not satisfied, go plead with our teacher tomorrow."


    "If you beg on your knees, maybe he will move you to a slightly better room."


    Yang Xiaotian looked at him, his eyes cold.


    Chen Bingyao sneered, "What, you want to beat me up? The academy prohibits private fights. If you want to hit me, you can challenge me tomorrow after asking the teacher." With that, he left.


    A challenge, huh?


    As night had already fallen, it would have to wait until tomorrow!


    Yang Xiaotian watched his retreating figure with a cold gaze.


    Momentster, he turned and opened the door to the room, which was only about ten square meters, furnished with a wooden bed and, besides that, a stool.


    After closing the door, he let out the Golden Armored Beast from his pocket, then took out a Cold Jade Bed from the Medicine Cauldron and ced it on the wooden bed.


    Sitting on the Cold Jade Bed, he began to review the rules and regtions manual of Divine Sword Academy.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian finished reading and gained a general understanding of Divine Sword Academy.


    He also understood what a challenge entailed.


    Afterward, he swallowed the Four Symbols Spirit Pill he had refined two days earlier and started to practice the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Instantly, nature''s spiritual energy roared towards him.


    The third whirlpool in Yang Xiaotian''s Dantian began to expand.


    Initially, the third whirlpool in his Dantian was only one meter in size, but quickly expanded to two meters, then three.


    Suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound inside his body.


    The majesty of the True Dragon shook Heaven and Earth.


    After days of arduous cultivation, the second True Dragon Power finally awoke!


    Yang Xiaotian was ted and continued to practice the Primordial Dragon Art to refine the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    He only stopped when dawn broke.


    However, after breaking through to the third level of Innate, the potency of the Four Symbols Spirit Pill diminished significantly. He had thought he could at least reach the peak of the third level, but now he had barely broken through to theter stages of the third level.


    The third whirlpool in his Dantian had just managed to reach seven meters.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian''s surprise and delight, his second True Dragon Power had finally awakened.


    With two True Dragon Powers, both his strength and defense had greatly increased.


    Thinking of the challenge, Yang Xiaotian inquired about it and made his way to the residence of Cao Lu, the head teacher of ss Four.


    Just as he arrived at the entrance, he overheard Cao Lu and Chen Bingyao''s conversation.


    "Heins about the room he was given?" said Cao Lu with displeasure.


    Chen Bingyao spoke, "If you ask me, the teacher shouldn''t have arranged a room for him at all. I don''t know what the Dean was thinking, letting him into Divine Sword Academy."


    Cao Lu continued, "It was the Vice Dean who thought his Martial Soul could potentially grow to a ninth level, so he pleaded with Dean Yang. It would''ve been difficult for Dean Yang to dismiss the Vice Dean''s face, so he let him stay in the academy temporarily for a year."


    "But after a year, he surely won''t break through the seventh tier. He''ll have to pack up and leave."


    "It''s just that I didn''t expect the Dean to push him into our ss Four. What a misfortune."


    Cao Lu was annoyed about having a second-level Giant Tortoise Martial Soul crammed into ss Four.


    The academy held periodic assessments for each ss and level every term, and Yang Xiaotian''s joining his ss would only drag them down, wouldn''t it?


    Now the whole academy knew that a second-level Martial Soul hade to ss Four.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian pushed the door and entered.


    The conversation between Chen Bingyao and Cao Lu came to a sudden halt.


    "Teacher, this is Yang Xiaotian," said Chen Bingyao, surprised by the arrival and then speaking to Cao Lu.


    "You''re Yang Xiaotian!" Cao Lu said with a scowl upon hearing that it was Yang Xiaotian. "What are you doing here?" He then added impatiently, "Don''te looking for me unless it''s important!"


    Yang Xiaotian stared at Cao Lu, "I read through the academy''s regtions manual. Every new student is entitled to a bottle of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, right?"


    Cao Luughed, "Indeed, but tell me, do you think a second-level Martial Soul like you deserves premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?" He added, "You want the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, is that it? Well, you can have it if you defeat Bingyao. That will prove you''re worthy of it."


    "Also, if you defeat Bingyao, you can choose any empty room you want."


    He gestured towards Chen Bingyao.


    Just as Cao Lu and Chen Bingyao expected Yang Xiaotian to back down, Yang Xiaotian responded, "Fine, let''s go to the Martial Arts Stage." With that, he turned and left.


    Chen Bingyao was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.


    "Wait," Cao Lu advised, "Make sure he gets a good taste of your Mysterious Iron Swordsmanshipter."


    "Don''t worry, teacher. I will," Chen Bingyao responded confidently with a smile.


    The two of them followed Yang Xiaotian out, and at the same time, Cao Lu notified all the students of ss Four to immediatelye to the Martial Arts Stage.


    When the students of ss Four heard that the new student was challenging their leader, Chen Bingyao, they were all excited and rushed to the Martial Arts Stage.


    Soon, Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others also got wind of the news.


    "He doesn''t know the sky is high and the earth is thick, challenging an old student as soon as he arrives at Divine Sword Academy," Hu Xing shook his head.


    "Let''s go, we''ll go watch too," Cheng Beibei said with a snicker, eager to see what Yang Xiaotian would look like after being beaten into a pig''s head. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

    Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and Hu Xing hastened their steps toward the Martial Arts Stage.


    Fearing that Chen Bingyao had already swiftly defeated Yang Xiaotian, they worried they would miss an exciting duel.


    With the deliberate spread of the news by Cheng Beibei, Hu Xing, and Yang Zhong, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were also informed about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s challenge.


    Lin Yong shook his head, ¡°A calf is not afraid of tigers.¡±


    Chen Yuan said, ¡°Shall we also go have a look?¡±


    Lin Yong replied, ¡®What¡¯s there to see? The oue is without suspense.¡± Implying that Yang Xiaotian was sure to lose.


    By the time Hu Xing and the others arrived at the Martial Arts Stage, students from the fourth ss and many others from the academy who had heard the news had already surrounded the stage.


    When Cheng Beibei and her group arrived, they saw that Yang Xiaotian and Chen Bingyao had not yet started fighting, which eased their minds since they hadn¡¯t missed the duel.


    Seeing that most of the crowd had arrived, Chen Bingyao looked at Yang Xiaotian with evident contempt, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you, a mere fourth-order, dare to challenge me.¡±


    ¡°Do you even know my strength?¡±


    However, Yang Xiaotian interrupted, ¡°One move.¡±


    Chen Bingyao was puzzled.


    One move?


    ¡°One move to defeat you,¡± Yang Xiaotian added.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words fell, an uproar ensued at the scene.


    ¡°What did this kid say? Defeat Chen Bingyao in one move?¡± ¡°I think he can¡¯t even take one move from Chen Bingyao.¡± The disciples of Divine Sword Academy were incensed.


    Hu Xing shook his head, ¡°Idiot.¡±


    Cheng Beibei also shouted, ¡°Chen Bingyao, beat him till he resembles a pig¡¯s head for me.¡±


    Chen Bingyao, hearing Cheng Beibei¡¯s voice, turned and respectfully replied, ¡°Rest assured, Your Highness Princess.¡± Afterwards, he began to circte his Fighting Spirit throughout his body.


    ¡°Kid, watch closely, this is our academy¡¯s Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship,¡± Chen Bingyao thrust his sword toward Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship is among the most superior of Acquired Sword Techniques.


    His sword moves were swift, reaching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face in the blink of an eye, the technique containing two variations, with the strength of his Acquired fifth-order Fighting Spirit, his long sword shimmered with a cold gleam.


    ¡°Excellent!¡± Many students apuded Chen Bingyao¡¯s move.


    ¡°With this sword technique, Chen Bingyao disys ease and mastery, deeply grasping the essence of Swordsmanship,¡± Hu Xing, seeing this, nodded in appreciation. Seeing that Yang Xiaotian waspletely unresponsive on the stage, he sneered, ¡°It seems one move will determine the winner.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, facing the thrust from Chen Bingyao, remained expressionless.


    To him, Chen Bingyao¡¯s move was far inferiorpared to the previous ones from Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu.


    In his eyes, it was full of ws.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even bother to draw his sword or use Martial Techniques; he simply stepped aside and hammered a punch into his opponent¡¯s chest. Bang!


    Chen Bingyao was seen drawing a beautiful arc in the air before crashing down to the ground outside the Martial Arts Stage.


    The ground trembled.


    Dust rose into the air.


    The previously cheering crowd fell silent.


    Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong¡¯s faces were filled with astonishment and shock.


    Cao Lu, who had initially instructed Chen Bingyao to give Yang Xiaotian a good lesson with his Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship, was also stunned.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the stunned Cao Lu, said, ¡°Since I have won, can I have my share of the superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid now?¡±


    Cao Lu¡¯s face didn¡¯t look very good, but in the end, he took out the Spiritual


    Liquid and threw it to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°This is superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid; you¡¯ve never consumed anything like it in your life. Be careful when you consume it, don¡¯t choke yourself to death!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian received the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and replied,


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t consume such trash.¡±


    He had to get back that Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid; it was rightfully his, nothing more.


    Of course, he could also sell it for money, so that he could legitimately send the money back home.


    He knew his parents had just bought a new house and were in urgent need of money.


    Cao Lu¡¯s face turned green when he heard Yang Xiaotian, who had only a level two Martial Soul, call the superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid garbage!


    At this moment, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were talking in the yard about the sale of supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid at Xingyue City¡¯s auction.


    The Divine Sword Academy certainly wanted to bid on these fourteen portions of supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, but at that time, there would inevitably be a multitude of forcespeting, and the auction would definitely be extremely fierce.


    Just thinking about it gave Lin Yong a headache.


    Just then, there was amotion outside the courtyard.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan felt puzzled.


    ¡°Chen Bingyao actually lost! Defeated by a single move!¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is clearly only fourth-rank, yet he defeated Chen Bingyao with his bare hands in a single move!¡±


    ¡°What kind of boxing did Yang Xiaotian use?¡±


    The excited voices of students passing by left Lin Yong and Chen Yuan dumbfounded.


    What, Chen Bingyao defeated in a single move?


    By Yang Xiaotian?


    In a mix of shock and suspicion, Lin Yong called over Disciple Hu Xing.


    Hu Xing detailed the proceedings of the duel, then said, ¡°It seems Yang Xiaotian had anticipated Chen Bingyao¡¯s attack in advance, probably because he had studied the Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship, that¡¯s why he could defeat Chen Bingyao so easily.¡±


    Chen Yuan was skeptical. Was it really so? He pondered and said, ¡°When I get a chance, I¡¯ll ask Yang Xiaotian about it.¡±


    He smiled at Lin Yong and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this kid to be able to defeat Chen Bingyao.¡±


    Lin Yong shook his head, ¡°Defeating Chen Bingyao doesn¡¯t prove anything.¡±


    After leaving the scene, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t return to the dormitory but left Divine Sword Academy instead.


    Today was the weekend, with no sses to attend, so it was the perfect opportunity to sell the superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, send the money back to his parents, and inquire about the prices of residences in Divine Sword City, intending to buy one.


    Divine Sword Academy didn¡¯t require students to live in the dormitory. If they owned a residence in Divine Sword City, it would be much more convenient for him to practice and conduct his affairs in the future.


    After asking around for the location of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s branch in Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian went there and sold the superior


    Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for one thousand one hundred gold coins. He then inquired about the prices of residences around Divine Sword Academy.


    Without inquiring, he didn¡¯t realize it, but after he did, Yang Xiaotian was shocked to find that better residences in Divine Sword City generally cost forty to fifty thousand gold coins; if near the Divine Sword Academy, the prices were even higher, easily amounting to over a hundred thousand gold coins.


    ¡°Over a hundred thousand?¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly; he had only about thirty thousand gold coins to his name.


    This amount,in Xingyue City, would be considered a huge sum, but in Divine Sword City, it was merely petty cash.


    It seemed he still needed to work hard to earn money.


    Continue making and selling supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid? After some thought, Yang Xiaotian decided instead to make and sell Innate Spirit Pills, since they were priced higher and offered greater profits.


    However, the ingredients for Four Symbols Spirit Pills were very rare, so Yang Xiaotian had to settle for making Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    The ingredients for the Dragon-Tiger Elixir were, happily, quite readily avable.


    After buying arge batch of ingredients, Yang Xiaotian sent the money he obtained from the Spiritual Liquid to his parents, then returned to Divine Sword Academy.


    However, upon his return to Divine Sword Academy, he was stopped by Chen Hong, a student guarding the gate.


    Yang Xiaotian exined that he was a new student who had just registered at the academy, but Chen Hong, with an official air, shook his head, ¡°ording to the academy rules, you may not enter without wearing the academy uniform.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± At that moment, Senior Brother Hu arrived from down the street, apparently, he had also been out and was now returning to the academy.


    ¡°Senior Brother Hu, he says he is a new student who has just registered at the academy. However, ording to the academy rules, he cannot enter without wearing the academy uniform,¡± Chen Hong quickly bowed and said upon seeing Hu Xing.


    Hearing this, Hu Xing smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Indeed, you cannot enter the academy without wearing the uniform,¡± after saying this, he didn¡¯t pay any further attention to Yang Xiaotian and entered Divine Sword Academy.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± Yang Xiaotian pointed at Hu Xing and said to Chen Hong, ¡°He¡¯s not wearing the academy uniform either.¡±


    Chen Hongughed, ¡°You are you, and Senior Brother Hu is Senior Brother Hu; if you can im first ce in the academy¡¯s grandpetition like Senior


    Brother Hu, you too can enter and exit without wearing the academy uniform..¡±

    Chapter 27: Looking at the Sky from the Bottom of a Well, The Ignorant Child


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°im the top prize in the academypetition?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face turned cold.


    Hu Xing turned his head, a smile spreading across his face, ¡°Exactly, im the top prize in the academypetition. As long as you can defeat me, you¡¯ll be able to im it.¡± He then burst intoughter, ¡°However, do you think you can im the top prize in the academypetition?¡±


    ¡°In this lifetime? Impossible for you, perhaps, you might have a chance in your next one.¡±


    After saying that, he smiled, turned, and walked away.


    ¡°In two years, I will defeat you!¡± Yang Xiaotian watched Hu Xing¡¯s retreating figure and said coldly.


    Hu Xing, who was about to leave, stopped and burst outughing, the gatekeeper Chen Hong too couldn¡¯t help but reveal a toothy grin.


    ¡°Defeat me in two years? You?¡± Hu Xing looked at Yang Xiaotian as if he had heard the punchline to an absurd joke.


    Chen Hong said with a smile to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Do you even know what realm


    Senior Brother Hu is in?¡±


    A freshman who had just enrolled in the academy was actually dering that he would defeat Hu Xing in two years!


    He must have gone mad!


    Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t fathom how the young man could have said such a thing.


    Hu Xingughed and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you should rather be worrying about whether you can stay in the academy a year from now.¡±


    Whether Yang Xiaotian could break through to the seventh rank or even remain in Divine Sword Academy a year from now was an uncertainty, and yet he dared to challenge him?


    After saying that, Hu Xing turned and left.


    Looking at the departing Hu Xing, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm. He knew something about Hu Xing¡¯s strength¡ªhe had broken through to the Martial King Realm two years ago.


    Now he must be at the second or third level of the Martial King Realm?


    With his current rate of cultivation, even without consuming the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he could break through to the Martial King Realm within a year. He cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art and possessed True Dragon Power. As soon as he broke through to the Martial King Realm, he could thoroughly overwhelm Hu Xing.


    Therefore, defeating Hu Xing and iming first ce in Divine Sword Academy wouldnt even take him two years.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s deration of defeating Hu Xing in two years spread quickly throughout Divine Sword Academy.


    The academy was abuzz with the news.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian said he¡¯s going to beat Senior Brother Hu Xing in two years?¡±


    Cheng Beibei couldn¡¯t help butugh sweetly after hearing this, and said to Yang Zhong, ¡°Your cousin really is something.¡±


    Yang Zhong shook his head, ¡°He¡¯spletely disgraced our Yang Family Manor.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bold im that he would defeat Hu Xing in two years became aughingstock among the academy¡¯s students, and even Yang Zhong was ridiculed by association.


    Yang Zhong wished he could just bury himself underground.


    When Lin Yong heard Yang Xiaotian¡¯s challenge to defeat his disciple, Hu Xing, in two years, he too chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s so ignorant, like a frog in a well!¡± Yang Xiaotian had only arrived at Divine Sword Academy yesterday.


    And today, he imed that he would defeat his disciple in two years?


    What if, after a little while, he started iming he could defeat him, the academy head?


    Lin Yong immediately lost any goodwill towards Yang Xiaotian.


    He said to Chen Yuan beside him, ¡°I¡¯m curious to see how he¡¯ll beat my disciple in two years.¡±


    Chen Yuan was rather embarrassed.


    Later, Chen Yuan went to the academy gate and brought Yang Xiaotian inside.


    As he looked at Yang Xiaotian, Chen Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Xiaotian, are you really going to defeat Hu Xing in two years?¡±


    He suspected it might just be a rumor someone had spread deliberately.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Chen Yuan choked up a bit and, after a long while, could only offer Yang Xiaotian some helpless encouragement to train hard. Then, he turned and left.


    Yang Xiaotian watched Chen Yuan¡¯s departing figure and said nothing.


    When he passed by Cao Lu¡¯s yard, Yang Xiaotian went in to collect his academy uniform.


    Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotian, Cao Lu obviously wasn¡¯t pleased and said impatiently, ¡°There are none, the uniforms will take a few days to make. Don¡¯te to me for nothing in the future.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to Vice Dean Chen Yuan and ask for it,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a coldugh upon hearing this.


    It will take a few days to make?


    Such words, they can only fool other children.


    How could the Divine Sword Academy not have a stock of academy uniforms for new students to collect?


    When Cao Lu heard that Yang Xiaotian was going to Chen Yuan to ask for one, his eyes bulged, but in the end, he wilted and gave Yang Xiaotian the uniform.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian also collected several secret tome textbooks that he would study this semester.


    As Yang Xiaotian was leaving, Cao Lu couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you know what Martial Soul Hu Xing has, that you dare to challenge him in two years?¡±


    ¡°His Martial Soul is the Whale of the Vast Sea!¡±


    ¡°The Whale of the Vast Sea, you know?¡±


    The Whale of Vast Sea is a top-tier level ten Martial Soul, but its ranking is


    even higher than Yang Zhong¡¯s Green Phoenix Martial Soul, being the closest to a Supreme Martial Spirit.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°The Whale of Vast Sea, I know.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s calm andposed manner, Cao Lu felt like vomiting blood.


    Without Supreme Martial Spirits emerging, a Martial Soul like the Whale of Vast Sea could dominate others at the same realm.


    Yang Xiaotian, with a level two Martial Soul, knew that his opponent had the Whale of Vast Sea Martial Soul and still dared to issue a challenge!


    ¡°What if I defeat Hu Xing in two years?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked. Cao Lu said angrily, ¡°If you defeat Hu Xing, I¡¯ll call you my ancestor!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll wait for that,¡± and left with his uniform.


    Cao Lu, watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s certain expression, always felt an urge to p this idiot to death!


    After returning to his room, Yang Xiaotian moved into a better room.


    After changing rooms, he did not start cultivating, but instead took out the medicinal herbs he bought today and began to refine the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    The refining of the Dragon-Tiger Elixir required sixty to seventy different medicinal herbs and was much easier than refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    After reviewing the method of refining Dragon-Tiger Elixir recorded in the cave, Yang Xiaotian started the refining process.


    In less than an hour, he had refined a Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Then, without a pause, Yang Xiaotian refined four more Dragon-Tiger Elixirs before he started feeling tired.


    Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, he cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art for a while, then Yang Xiaotian got up and continued refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    This time, he had purchased arge batch of medicinal ingredients, enough to refine ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian used up all the medicinal ingredients, ten fragrant and enticing Dragon-Tiger Elixirsy before him.


    Looking at the ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, Yang Xiaotian was filled with joy.


    Although these ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were not of the highest quality, they were all premium grade, and one premium Dragon-Tiger Elixir could sell for at least eleven thousand gold.


    Ten would be one hundred and ten thousand gold.


    With the money he had before, it was enough for him to buy a nice residence near Divine Sword Academy.


    Seeing that dawn was approaching, he sat on the Cold Jade Bed for a while and then donned his academy uniform to go to the teaching building.


    Today was his first day of school.


    Soon, he found ss Four of the first year.


    The ssroom wasrge, about the size of a basketball court, with arge empty space in the middle, presumably for practice, with the floor made entirely of extremely hard granite.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian arrived, Chen Bingyao also showed up.


    When enemies meet, they are particrly envious.


    The moment he saw Yang Xiaotian, his face twisted with hate as he approached with his sword, pointing it at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, yesterday¡¯s match doesn¡¯t count, today I want to fight you again! ¡°

 Chapter 28: Learn it at a Glance

    Chapter 28: Learn it at a nce


    Trantor: 549690339


    Defeat yesterday was a disgrace for Chen Bingyao!


    He had actually lost to a second-level Martial Soul like Yang Xiaotian. After returning, the more he thought about it, the angrier and less reconciled he felt.


    He always felt that it was because of his carelessness that he lost to Yang Xiaotian, and moreover, it was rumored in the academy that Yang Xiaotian was proficient in Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship, which was why he was defeated.


    Today, he intended to use another set of mastered Phantom Sword Technique to defeat Yang Xiaotian and wash away the shame of yesterday.


    Phantom Sword Technique was even more unpredictable and powerful than Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship.


    He just didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could withstand his Phantom Sword Technique.


    ¡°Another match?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Chen Bingyao whose fighting spirit was zing.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, what, are you scared?¡± Chen Bingyao said fiercely, his long sword buzzing in his hand.


    The other students in the ssroom were all looking at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°As you wish,¡± Yang Xiaotian said without saying much and walked to the middle of the ssroom where they practiced.


    Chen Bingyao secretly rejoiced and quickly stepped into the empty space in the middle of the ssroom, then couldn¡¯t wait to draw his sword.


    At that moment, Cao Lu and the ss leader, Zheng Zhipeng, also arrived in the ssroom.


    Upon seeing this, Zheng Zhipeng said, ¡°Bingyao lost yesterday because he was careless. Today, Yang Xiaotian will not possibly win against Bingyao!¡±


    Cao Lu nodded; he also didn¡¯t believe Chen Bingyao would lose to Yang Xiaotian again.


    Chen Bingyao red at Yang Xiaotian fiercely, suddenly took a quick step, and thrust out with his sword.


    Suddenly, there were heavy shadows of the sword.


    It was impossible to distinguish which sword was real and which was feigned.


    ¡°Phantom Sword Technique, truly lives up to its reputation,¡± Zheng Zhipeng said.


    Just as Chen Bingyao¡¯s sword was about to hit Yang Xiaotian¡¯s left eye, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian raised his hand, pinched with two fingers, and caught Chen Bingyao¡¯s long sword perfectly.


    All the sword shadows disappeared.


    Chen Bingyao along with Zheng Zhipeng and the others were taken aback.


    ¡°You, you can see through my Phantom Sword Technique?¡± Chen Bingyao could hardly believe it.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian lifted a foot and suddenly kicked Chen Bingyao¡¯s chest.


    Chen Bingyao only felt a severe pain in his chest, screamed miserably, and was kicked like a flying ball, hitting the stone wall of the ssroom several meters away, making the wall sound with a thud.


    The onlookers, staring at Chen Bingyao sliding down the wall with his legs open, were dumbfounded.


    ¡°Phantom Sword Technique, truly lives up to its reputation?¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ncing at Zheng Zhipeng.


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhipeng¡¯s face darkened, and he said coldly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you dare fight me?¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, at the final exam, I will fight you,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    At Divine Sword Academy, every semester¡¯s exam included a practicalbat section.


    That is, ssmates would spar andpete with each other.


    Hearing this, Jiang Shaofei, who was on good terms with Zheng Zhipeng, said mockingly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you¡¯re brave enough, fight with our ss leader now, why wait until the end of the term?


    Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°Zheng Zhipeng is nine years old now, right? He awoke his Martial Soul over a year earlier than I did. If he¡¯s so brave, why doesn¡¯t he find a second-year student to fight?¡±


    Zheng Zhipeng¡¯s face did not look very good.


    The previously vocal Jiang Shaofei also had a face full of embarrassment, not knowing what to say next.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time for ss, everyone take your seats and let¡¯s start,¡± Cao Lu suddenly said, effectively breaking Zheng Zhipeng out of the encirclement.


    Everyone hurriedly took their seats.


    And Chen Bingyao was helped to the medical room.


    Zheng Zhipeng sat down and red fiercely at Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t take Zheng Zhipeng¡¯s hateful gaze to heart. After all, to him, Zheng Zhipeng, with his seventh-grade strength, was merely a footnote.


    However, he didn¡¯t want to expose too much just yet. His Martial Soul Awakening had happened less than two months ago; revealing seventh-grade strength would be too shocking to the world.


    It might even rm the Empire and arouse murderous intent in others.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, there¡¯s onest seat at the back. You sit there,¡± Cao Lu pointed to the corner seat in thest row.


    Although sitting at the back affected his view, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t mind and walked over to take his seat.


    ¡°Now, everyone take out your Secret Tomes. I¡¯ll start by exining the first sword technique of Sword Thirteen,¡± Cao Lu said. Then he began to demonstrate the first technique of Sword Thirteen in the open space of the ssroom.


    Sword Thirteen was one of the Acquired Sword Techniques and a mandatory martial technique for first-year students at the Divine Sword Academy.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the Sword Thirteen Secret Tome and started flipping through it on his desk.


    He had been busy concocting the Dragon-Tiger Elixir the previous night and hadn¡¯t had the chance to look at it yet.


    Sword Thirteen consisted of thirteen techniques. The entire Secret Tome had only thirteen pages, each page apanied by a sword diagram and detailed exnations of the variations and profundities of the sword techniques on that page.


    Yang Xiaotian flipped through the tome quickly and soon finished reviewing all of Sword Thirteen.


    Cao Lu was lecturing with great enthusiasm, but when he saw Yang Xiaotian consistently flipping through the Secret Tome in the corner, paying no heed to his exnations, he couldn¡¯t help getting angry, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, stand up! Demonstrate the first technique for everyone. If you can¡¯t do it, you¡¯ll be standing for an hour as punishment!¡±


    Zheng Zhipeng and the other students listened and looked at Yang Xiaotian with glee at his misfortune.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm as he took the sword thrown to him by Cao


    ¡°Draw your sword!¡± ¡°Sword Rise Wind State!¡±


    Cao Lu ordered sternly.


    No sooner had he spoken than Yang Xiaotian leaped forward, his sword trembling and thrusting; instantly, a gust of sword wind swept past, causing the garbage bin in front to fly chaotically.


    As Yang Xiaotiannded, the garbage bins were still flying about.


    Cao Lu, Zheng Zhipeng, and the others were all dumbfounded.


    ¡°Teacher, is this Sword Rise Wind State performed correctly?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in return.


    Cao Lu said in disbelief, ¡°Have you practiced Sword Rise Wind State before?¡±


    More than correct, it was impable. Whether his movement or his sword drawing, no ws could be found.


    In the study of martial techniques, the levels of achievement from low to high are subdivided into beginner, Minor Achievement, Great Aplishment, perfection, and Summit Mastery.


    Usually, it takes a hard month or two of practice for Acquired martial techniques to reach the beginner level, and at least half a year to achieve Minor Achievement.


    But just now, Yang Xiaotian performing Sword Rise Wind State and generating a sword wind definitely signified that he had reached the Minor Achievement Realm.


    ¡°I have not,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head. ¡°I just flipped through it just now.¡±


    Never practiced and only flipped through it once, yet mastered it to the Minor Achievement Realm? Of course, Cao Lu didn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°You mean to say you learned it just by looking once? Have you flipped through the entire thing? Do you know all the techniques of Sword Thirteen right now?¡±


    Cao Lu asked.


    Zheng Zhipeng and the rest of the students also couldn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian had learned all the techniques of Sword Thirteen just by flipping through the tome once.


    Yang Xiaotian countered, ¡°If I know all of them, does that mean I don¡¯t need to attend ss this month?¡± He really didn¡¯t want to sit in the ssroom every day, listening to Zheng Zhipeng talking about these most basic Acquired martial techniques.


    If he had that time, he would rather spend it practicing his


    Heaven-Prating Sword Technique and Primordial Dragon Art, or training in other sword techniques.


    Hearing this, Cao Lu was fuming, ¡°If you know all the techniques in the Secret


    Tomes for this term, then you don¡¯t have to attend sses for the entire term.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Yang Xiaotian grinned, ¡°Good!¡± With that, he brandished his sword, and the sword light immediately burst forth.


    ¡°Sword Cold Nine States!¡±


    This was the second technique.


    Suddenly, the sword wind rose again, and the garbage bin in front flew even higher..

    ¡°The third move, Sword Emerge from Universe!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian brandished his sword once more, and immediately, the sword wind fluttered up and down.


    The trash can in front flew even higher.


    Then came the fourth move.


    The fifth move, the sixth move, the seventh move¡­


    Yang Xiaotian executed one move after another with no hesitation, no awkwardness, the sword wind growing stronger and tighter, causing the ssroom trash can to whirl dizzyingly before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°The thirteenth move, Sword Sweeps the ins.¡±


    With a swipe of his sword, the sword wind instantly sheared through the air.


    The trash can that had been spinning dizzyingly in the air now suddenly stopped in mid-fall and plummeted down.


    Yang Xiaotian performed all thirteen strikes of the Sword Thirteen in one breath.


    When the sword rested, the whistling of the sword wind still echoed in the ssroom, as if telling Cao Lu, Zheng Zhipeng, and others that everything they had witnessed was real.


    After Yang Xiaotian had finished, standing there calm andposed, Cao Lu was still in a daze, pondering the Sword Thirteen moves Xiaotian had just executed.


    He had taught so many students and had never seen anyone perform Sword Thirteen so smoothly.


    Yes, smooth was the word.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Thirteen just now was too slick, as if it were all one seamless movement.


    ¡°Teacher, may I leave now?¡± Yang Xiaotian saw Cao Lu standing there in a daze and spoke up.


    He had many things to do today. He still had to sell ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs and purchase a residence.


    Cao Lu snapped out of his reverie, looked at Yang Xiaotian with aplex expression and asked, ¡°Did you really learn it by watching it once?¡±


    Although Sword Thirteen was an Acquired martial technique, he still couldn¡¯t believe someone could learn it after just one viewing, especially since Yang Xiaotian had already reached the Minor Achievement Realm.


    Yang Xiaotian hummed in affirmation, knowing Cao Lu didn¡¯t believe him, and was toozy to exin further. He asked again, ¡°May I leave now?¡±


    Cao Lu saw that Yang Xiaotian seemed anxious to not stay in the ssroom a moment longer, his expression darkened, but ultimately he nodded his head.


    This month, his main task was to teach the Sword Thirteen Swordsmanship Manual, and since Yang Xiaotian already knew it and had reached Minor Achievement, he indeed had no need to attend the ss.


    Yang Xiaotian strode out of the ssroom.


    After Yang Xiaotian had left, Zheng Zhipeng stood up and said to Cao Lu, ¡°Teacher, Yang Xiaotian must be lying. He definitely practiced Sword Thirteen for a long time.¡±


    Cao Lu nodded.


    The Sword Thirteen manual was also avable for purchase on the market.


    He too believed Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t have mastered it without prior practice.


    Even Hu Xing, reputed to be the number one talent at the Divine Sword Academy, couldn¡¯t possibly know Sword Thirteen after just one look.


    ¡°Look quickly!¡± At that moment, a student eximed in surprise.


    Cao Lu and Zheng Zhipeng followed the direction of the student¡¯s gaze only to see the trash can that had just fallen to the floor suddenly split into thirteen pieces, no more, no less, exactly thirteen, blooming like a flourishing flower.


    This flower was as if naturally formed.


    After leaving the ssroom, Yang Xiaotian went directly out of the academy and arrived at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    Just as in Xingyue City, Yang Xiaotian wore the Dragon Head Mask, shrouded in a ck aura. Upon showing the Purple Gold VIP Card, the person in charge at the Divine Sword City branch of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild cautiously appraised the price of the ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    After confirming that all ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were of superior quality, the person in charge¡¯s heartbeat quickened.


    Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, top-grade and rarely seen, and for Innate elixirs like the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, top-grade was even more rare; therefore, superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were incredibly hard toe by.


    A superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir, once put up for sale, would be snatched up quickly.


    ¡°Esteemed guest, what do you think about twelve thousand gold per superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir?¡± the person in charge cautiously inquired about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s intentions.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡±


    This price is already quite good.


    The person in charge quickly handed over 120,000 gold to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian secured the money and did not linger any longer, leaving the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian had left the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, the person in charge hurriedly reported his appearance to their guild president. Judging from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attire, there was no doubt that he was the mysterious alchemist from Xingyue City.


    After Yang Xiaotian left the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, he removed his mask and then headed to the ve market.


    Before buying a residence, he nned to buy a few ves first.


    After all, he was only eight years old and it was not convenient for him to do everything himself, so he could have his subordinates handle some matters.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was wearing the uniform of the Divine Sword Academy, the person managing the ve market did not dare to underestimate him and quickly started introducing various ves to Yang Xiaotian.


    These ves were ssified and kept in different iron cells ording to their levels.


    However, most of the ves had no cultivation, and their Martial Soul levels were too low, which naturally did not interest Yang Xiaotian.


    When he passed by a certain iron cell, Yang Xiaotian suddenly stopped. Inside, a disheveled middle-aged man was being held alone. He was roughly in his thirties, with ragged clothes and ackluster look in his eyes.


    ¡°This person is called Luo Qing. He was the sect master of a sect in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. He used to be a Martial King Peak powerhouse, but a few months ago, his sect was destroyed, his Dantian was shattered by someone, and the tendons in both his hands were severed,pletely destroying his cultivation and reducing him to a cripple, ¡± the person managing the ve market exined quickly upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest in the middle-aged man.


    Dantian shattered, tendons severed?


    Yang Xiaotian mused, ¡°How much for him?¡±


    The manager replied with a smile, ¡°Young master, as you know, although he is now a cripple without any cultivation, he was once a Martial King Peak powerhouse. He still possesses knowledge.¡± ¡°How much?¡± Yang Xiaotian interrupted.


    ¡°Ten thousand gold,¡± the manager answered hesitantly.


    Yang Xiaotian grunted and did not immediately agree to buy; he moved on to inspect other iron cells, with the manager following behind. The manager hastily offered, ¡°Young master, if you really want him, nine thousand gold, how about it?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian did not respond and continued walking until he stopped in front of two half-beast people with golden-yellow skin.


    ¡°These two half-beast people are descendants of the Ancient Golden Divine Tribe,¡± the manager quickly added.


    ¡°Are you sure they are descendants of the Golden Divine n?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in return.


    This guy really thought he could be easily fooled.


    The manager gave an embarrassed chuckle, ¡°Well, it¡¯s hard to verify that. We¡¯ve also heard it through rumors.¡±


    After a full round of inspection, Yang Xiaotian spent 13,000 gold to purchase Luo Qing and two half-beast people.


    Once out of the ve market, Yang Xiaotian had each of the three swallow a Spirit Pill and told them that it was a Control Elixir. Without his antidote, they would die from poisoning.


    Even though he held their deeds of sale, what he sought was their absolute loyalty.


    After all, he carried secrets like the Primordial Dragon Art and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, so it was essential to ensure that those around him were utterly loyal.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian had the two half-beast people take 120,000 gold to the real estate market and purchase the residence he had previously set his sights on.


    Meanwhile, the news that an alchemist who had concocted a top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had appeared in Divine Sword City began to spread.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also learned of the news.


    ¡°The alchemist actually came to Divine Sword City!¡± Lin Yong was pleasantly surprised.


    ¡°Yes, this time he sold ten superior Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to the Wind Cloud


    Commerce Guild,¡± Chen Yuan eximed. ¡°The appraisers from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild said that all ten Dragon -Tiger Elixirs were freshly made, not older than ten days; that is to say, this person has concocted ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs within ten days!¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s really true, this person¡¯s Alchemy Level must have reached the point of seizing creation from Heaven and Earth.¡±


    Innate Spirit Pills that increase cultivation are very difficult to concoct with a high failure rate. Sometimes, even after making five batches, one might not seed with a single batch, and usually, the pills produced are of lower or intermediate quality.


    Superior ones are rare, not to mention the superior grade.


    Many alchemists might not seed in concocting a superior Innate Spirit Pill even after many years.


    As for concocting ten superior Innate Spirit Pills within ten days, it was unheard of for them.


    Lin Yong sighed as well, ¡°It¡¯s a shame this person cannot be employed by our Academy, for I would be willing to pay any price..¡±

    Trantor: 549690339


    As Lin Yong sighed that the mysterious Pharmacist could not be utilized by the Divine Sword Academy.


    Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, ¡°Something happened today. It¡¯s said that during today¡¯s lesson, Yang Xiaotian just looked at Sword


    Thirteen once and was able to execute it, even reaching the Minor Achievement Realm.¡±


    ¡°Just by looking once he could do it?¡± Lin Yong shook his head, ¡°You believe such talk?¡±


    He had also heard about this matter, but of course, he didn¡¯t believe it.


    The most exceptional Sword Dao Geniuses in the academy couldn¡¯t possibly execute Sword Thirteen after just one look, let alone reaching the Minor Achievement Realm with a single nce.


    Chen Yuan thought of when Yang Xiaotian previously mentioned that he could sense the Heaven and Earth Fire within tens of meters, and shook his head, finding the boy¡¯s words at times quite unbelievable.


    ¡­


    After handling all formalities for the residence, Yang Xiaotian moved in with Luo Qing and the other two.


    The house was veryrge, with over a thousand square meters, more than a dozen rooms, a martial arts training ground, and three courtyards.


    However, there was no furniture.


    Yang Xiaotian released the Golden Armored Beast from his pocket, toured the residence thoroughly with it, and smiled at the Golden Armored Beast, ¡°Xiao


    Jin, from now on, this is our new home.¡±


    The Golden Armored Beast pped its paws, gesturing with excitement.


    Yang Xiaotian then gave three thousand gold to the two Half-Beast People, instructing them to go out and purchase furniture and to buy back arge quantity of Spiritual Medicine.


    Once the furniture was bought and arranged, Yang Xiaotian cleaned and tidied up, and the residence looked brand new.


    After a busy day, it was already evening.


    As Yang Xiaotian passed by Luo Qing¡¯s room, he saw Luo Qing sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall, his eyes dull and lifeless. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I can restore your cultivation.¡±


    The originally lifeless Luo Qing was shocked upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly brightened, but then dimmed again as he said with a mournful smile, ¡°My Dantian is shattered. Even the Martial Emperor cannot restore it, do you im to be stronger than the Martial Emperor?¡±


    If even the Martial Emperor couldn¡¯t repair his Dantian, how could a child?


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t speak, but suddenly swung his sword, and a Sword Qi shed through the air, instantly leaving an astonishing hole in the wall behind Luo Qing.


    ¡°Innate Grandmaster Third Level!¡± Luo Qing sprang up, staring at Yang Xiaotian before him, full of shock.


    He never expected the child who bought him today to be a high-level Innate Grandmaster of the Third Level!


    The Innate Grandmaster Third Level was nothing to him, but how old was this kid in front of him? Eight years old?


    An eight-year-old Innate Grandmaster of the Third Level?


    This was utterly astonishing.


    ¡°What the Martial Emperor can¡¯t do, I can.¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently. Luo Qing looked at Yang Xiaotian, waves churning in his heart, which was like a dead sea.


    ¡°Alright, if you truly can restore my cultivation, my life, Luo Qing, shall be yours,¡± Luo Qing said in a low, firm voice.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t express agreement or disagreement.


    He took out the Wooden Emperor Skill and threw it to Luo Qing, ¡°First memorize this Cultivation Technique, andter sit in the medicinal bathtub in the courtyard to cultivate.¡±


    This Wooden Emperor Skill was left behind in Hong Feng¡¯s cave abode.


    This Cultivation Technique, inbination with a specially prepared medicinal bath, could gradually repair Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian.


    It was for this reason that he bought Luo Qing.


    Otherwise, why would he spend nine thousand gold to buy a broken man?


    Once Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian was restored, Yang Xiaotian was confident that within half a year, he could make him break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.


    Yang Xiaotian knew very well what a Martial Ancestor meant in the Divine Sea Country.


    Luo Qing flicked through the Wooden Emperor Skill with skepticism, memorized the technique, and then, as Yang Xiaotian had instructed, sat down in therge wooden tub in the center of the courtyard.


    The wooden tub was already filled with the medicinal bath that Yang Xiaotian had prepared, for which he sent the two Half-Beast People to purchase a great deal of Spiritual Medicine.


    Luo Qing began to circte the Wooden Emperor Skill.


    Soon, he felt a slight warm current surging through his body.


    And the warm current grewrger and stronger.


    Luo Qing¡¯s heart trembled, overwhelmed with excitement.


    It was True Qi!


    He was indeed able to gather True Qi once more.


    Over the past six months, he had moved like a walking corpse, his heart filled with nothing but endless darkness and despair, but now, he finally saw light and hope.


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian returned to his courtyard to concoct the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    The Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, of course, wasn¡¯t for his own use.


    Both Half-Beast People were at the peak of the Acquired tenth stage, and Yang Xiaotian needed them to break through to the Innate realm as soon as possible.


    With Innate strength, it would be much more convenient for the two to carry out their actions.


    However, just in case, Yang Xiaotian concocted several portions more.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian also chose a set of War God Art to pass on to the two.


    Once the War God Art was cultivated, one could possess boundless strength, a body as tough as steel, and even, if cultivated to the utmost limit, sweep across Divine Level opponents.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s guidance, the two swallowed the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids and began to cultivate the War God Art.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian did not disturb them and went to the backyard to practice Sword Thirteen.


    Sword Thirteen ¡ª these lessons were a key part of the final exam; if one managed to cultivate these martial skills to the Perfection Realm by the final exam, they would receive rewards from the academy.


    ¡°Sword Rise Wind State!¡±


    As he executed Sword Thirteen again, Yang Xiaotian gained fresh insights.


    With each sword he swung, the sword wind boomed.


    Each strike seemed ordinary, yet every move contained the variations of the other twelve techniques.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s movements grew swifter.


    He and his sword moved as one, the sword following his movements, and him following the flow of its Sword Qi.


    The sword seemed to have be a part of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    He could fluidly execute any move from Sword Thirteen.


    He had mastered Sword Thirteenpletely.


    This was the Great Aplishment realm!


    And for Yang Xiaotian, this was merely his second time practicing Sword Thirteen.


    A Minor Achievement on the first attempt, and Great Aplishment on the second!


    Even if Sword Thirteen was just a post-Innate martial skill, this rate of cultivation could only be described as inconceivable.


    When Yang Xiaotian finished executing the thirteen moves of the sword, he swung his de again.


    This time, it was not Sword Rise Wind State but directly the third move, Sword Emerge from Universe.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian suddenly spun in an unimaginable direction and executed a sweeping strike.


    The thirteenth move, Sword Sweeps the ins!


    Afterward, it was the seventh move, the ninth, the first!


    Totally chaotic and without sequence.


    Yang Xiaotian had forgotten the order of each move.


    His swordy followed only his heart.


    Swordy from the heart!


    Where the heart went, so did the sword.


    He couldn¡¯t remember how many strikes he had made.


    Hourster, when he finally stopped, the sword wind that had formed lingered without dispersing, as if imbued with sentience, it moved with the wind around the courtyard.


    Looking at the drifting sword wind, Yang Xiaotian smiled.


    The Perfection Realm, finally achieved!


    He nced up at the sky and realized, without noticing, that it had already brightened after his bout of cultivating.


    Just then, suddenly, a golden glow surged in the front courtyard.


    Yang Xiaotian, startled, quickly walked towards the front courtyard, only to see that both Half-Beast People were swathed in surging golden light, and behind each of them, two tall golden phantoms had appeared.


    Looking at the two massive golden phantoms behind them, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes widened in shock; these two Half-Beast People, could they really be descendants of the Ancient Golden Divine Tribe?


    Had their cultivation of the War God Art awakened the dormant bloodline of the Ancient Golden Divine Tribe?

 Chapter 31: This time, I want to see how he wins

    Chapter 31: This time, I want to see how he wins


    Trantor: 549690339


    Seeing that the two Half-Beast People had actually awakened the bloodline of the Ancient Golden Divine Tribe, Yang Xiaotian was excited.


    In Hong Feng¡¯s cave abode, there was a book that chronicled ancient deeds. The Ancient Golden Divine Tribe was an invincible presence even in ancient times.


    It could be said that the value of the two Half-Beast People far surpassed that of Martial King Peak¡¯s Luo Qing.


    At that moment, the aura of the two Half-Beast People fluctuated wildly, a sign that they were about to break through to the Innate level. Yang Xiaotian swiftly moved behind them and waved both hands, channeling True Dragon Qi into their bodies.


    With the infusion of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Dragon Qi, their auras stabilized and gradually improved.


    Half an hourter.


    A buzzing sound resonated loudly.


    Their skin seemed to be gilded with a golden hue.


    An aura akin to that of Innate Experts swept out from them.


    Seeing that the two had broken through to the Innate level, Yang Xiaotian let out a sigh of relief and then retracted his True Dragon Qi.


    Soon after, both Half-Beast People simultaneously stopped cultivating and stood up to bow and thank Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Thank you for your help, master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile, ¡°What are your names?¡±


    He had not asked for their names after buying them yesterday.


    ¡®My name is Ate, and my younger brother is called Ali,¡± one of them said respectfully.


    ¡°From now on, train well in the War God Art, and I will now pass on a de technique to you,¡± Yang Xiaotian said. He then took out the Soul Severing de Technique he had obtained from the felon Hu Lie, showed them the book once, and then demonstrated the technique from beginning to end.


    Yang Xiaotian performed slowly, exining the essentials and variations of the de technique while demonstrating.


    After twice through, Yang Xiaotian had them perform it once.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, despite their rough appearance, the two learned very quickly. They managed to perform the technique from beginning to end with nearly every move correct.


    There were still mistakes, but to learn this much after only two demonstrations was truly impressive.


    Yang Xiaotian pointed out their mistakes and told them to continue their training.


    He then went to Luo Qing¡¯s courtyard, where Luo Qing had just emerged from the medicinal bath. Seeing Yang Xiaotian, he hurried over and said, ¡°Master.¡± ¡°How do you feel?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile.


    ¡°I feel great,¡± Luo Qing said with joy and excitement, ¡°I can feel my hands again and hold things. My Dantian is also healing. In a month, it should bepletely healed. ¡±


    He had not expected the Wooden Emperor Skill to be so miraculous, showing such results in just one night.


    Thinking that his Dantian would be fully healed in a month, Luo Qing was thrilled.


    By then, he would be able to recover to Martial King Peak cultivation level.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile upon seeing Luo Qing¡¯s excitement. Then, after chatting for a while, he returned to his own courtyard to study the other secret tome textbooks distributed by the Divine Sword Academy.


    For the first-year first semester curriculum at Divine Sword Academy, besides training in Sword Thirteen, one also had to learn a set of Four Seasons Sword Technique and a set of Tiger King Fist, as well as some basic cultural Imowledge.


    Yang Xiaotian flipped through the Four Seasons Sword Technique and Tiger King Fist from beginning to end.


    Yang Zhong had used the Tiger King Fist during their sparring, so Yang Xiaotian was also familiar with it.


    The Tiger King Fist didn¡¯t have many moves, only nine in total.


    However, each move contained three forms, making its variations more profound than Sword Thirteen.


    Standing in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch.


    ¡°The first move, Fierce Tiger Leaves the Mountain.¡±


    From a distance, Yang Xiaotian seemed to transform into a huge fierce tiger, pouncing forward into the air, and after throwing the punch, his hands suddenly shifted into a w stance, striking the ground.


    Bang!


    The ground shook violently.


    A clear paw print appeared, and around the center of the print, astonishing cracks emerged and continued to spread outward.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian sprung up, rotating like a tiger swinging its tail, his legs sweeping out to bury into the wall far away.


    One move followed another.


    Yang Xiaotian, like a fierce tiger, leaped, pounced, and dodged, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.


    When Yang Xiaotian stopped, the afterimages in the courtyard gradually dissipated.


    At noon, Yang Xiaotian left his residence and returned to the Divine Sword Academy


    After a night and morning of practicing Sword Thirteen, Tiger King Fist, and Four Seasons Sword Technique, he had almost fully grasped these three martial arts. Now, he wanted to go to the Academy Repository to look for more martial arts to train in.


    Although there were many Alchemy Secret Manuals and Cultivation Techniques in Hong Feng¡¯s cave abode, aside from the Heaven -Prating Sword Technique, there were no other martial arts.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian wanted to train in more martial arts.


    After all, the more martial arts one trained in, the broader one¡¯s horizons would be, which was beneficial for one¡¯s own cultivation.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Divine Sword Academy Repository.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to enter, Hu Xing walked out of the Repository followed by arge group of Divine Sword Academy students.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian.¡± Hu Xing had not expected to encounter Yang Xiaotian.


    At that moment, a student behind Hu Xing stopped Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°You are Yang Xiaotian? I am Xie Chu from the first grade, first ss. I heard you are quite skilled with Sword Thirteen, and I would like to challenge you to a match.¡±


    ¡°A match in Sword Thirteen?¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    ¡°Indeed, do you dare?¡± Xie Chu said, looking at Yang Xiaotian with ill intentions.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Hu Xing and replied, ¡°Fine! However, the loser must kneel for an hour at the academy¡¯s main gate.¡±


    Xie Chu was taken aback but thenughed, ¡°Fine, if anyone reneges, they will break their own legs!¡±


    Instantly, the crowd swarmed towards the Martial Arts Stage.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan quickly learned the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s match with Xie Chu. Lin Yong shook his head and said, ¡°Clueless about the extent of the heavens and the earth.¡±


    He knew about the student Xie Chu, whose Sword Thirteen had already reached the stage of Great Aplishment. He was one of the few first-year students at Divine Sword Academy who managed to achieve that level in Sword Thirteen.


    Yang Xiaotian had only trained Sword Thirteen to a minor aplishment, and now he dared to challenge Xie Chu?


    He said to Chen Yuan, ¡°Let¡¯s go over and watch. This time, I want to see how he can win against Xie Chu.¡±


    Chen Yuan had no choice but to bravely follow Lin Yong to the Martial Arts


    Stage..

    Trantor: 549690339


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan arrived, and Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, Cao Lu, and others were already there.


    They naturally wouldn¡¯t miss such an exciting scene, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, Cao Lu, and the rest.


    Chen Bingyao, who had been defeated by Yang Xiaotian twice, also arrived.


    Chen Bingyao looked at Yang Xiaotian, grinding his teeth with resentment, and said to Xie Chu, ¡°Xie Chu, kick him off the stage for meter.¡±


    His family and Xie Chu¡¯s family were old friends.


    Xie Chu patted Chen Bingyao on the shoulder and smiled, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry.¡± After speaking, he leaped up to the Martial Arts Stage and looked down at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian,e up!¡±


    Looking at Xie Chu¡¯s contemptuous gaze, Yang Xiaotian leaped up and alsonded on the Martial Arts Stage.


    Xie Chu looked at Yang Xiaotian across from him, raised his sword, and with the sound of the de ringing, he smiled, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, draw your sword. I hope you can withstand my ten sword strikes.¡±


    ¡°Ten swords?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the confident Xie Chu and smiled, ¡°I don¡¯t need ten swords, one will be enough.¡±


    One sword will be enough?


    Lin Yong and others were puzzled.


    ¡°One sword to defeat you,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian spoke, the scene immediately erupted into intensemotion.


    ¡°What, defeat Xie Chu in one sword?¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian must not know the strength of Xie Chu; does he think Xie Chu is Chen Bingyao?¡±


    The crowd was inmed upon hearing this.


    ¡°This kid is too ignorant of the heights of heaven and the depths of earth,¡± Lin Yong was also quite upset.


    Chen Yuan¡¯s face was extremely embarrassed.


    Hu Xing¡¯s expression darkened as he secretly gestured to Xie Chu with a killing motion.


    Seeing Hu Xing¡¯s signal, Xie Chu no longer held back. His sword pointed straight at Yang Xiaotian as he leapt into the air, his fifth-order peak Fighting Spirit circting, and he struck ferociously at Yang Xiaotian with his sword. With a flick and a thrust of his sword, there was immediately a great gust of sword wind.


    Seeing this move from Xie Chu, Cao Lu nodded in admiration, ¡°Worthy of being our first-year¡¯s Sword Dao genius.¡±


    Lin Yong nodded, ¡°This move, Sword Rise Wind State, has two variations, and Xie Chu has mastered both, even containing the variations of the third move,


    Sword Emerge from Universe. He haspletely integrated Sword Thirteen!¡±


    Chen Yuan also nodded and smiled, ¡°Xie Chu has inherited his grandfather¡¯s


    Sword Dao Talent. It is indeed remarkable that he has reached the Great


    Aplishment Realm in less than a year of practicing Sword Thirteen.¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xie Chu¡¯s sword had already reached within a meter of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s front.


    Seeing Xie Chu¡¯s sword about to pierce Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, Chen Yuan hesitated, considering whether to intervene, as this sword strike could kill or severely injure Yang Xiaotian if it hit.


    Just as Chen Yuan hesitated, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian waved his sword. He was still using fourth-order power.


    Instantly, the sword wind surged like waves, extremely agile, as if it had eyes, and incredibly, it bypassed Xie Chu¡¯s sword.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword strike, Lin Yong was taken aback and then shocked. What, what is this?!


    Chen Yuan also realized, his face full of shock.


    While Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others were shocked, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword wind mmed into Xie Chu.


    Xie Chu, like a kite with its string cut, was thrown off the Martial Arts Stage.


    Thump!


    The ground echoed with the impact.


    Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others were stunned.


    Even Cao Lu and Hu Xing had shocked expressions.


    ¡°Sword Emerge from Heart! The sword wind so spirited! This is the Perfection Realm!¡± the first-year ss¡¯s homeroom teacher murmured to himself.


    Perfection Realm!


    Many students who were still uncertain were now incredulously looking at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°You¡¯ve actually cultivated Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm!¡± Cao Lu found it difficult to ept the reality before him.


    ¡°Perfection Realm, one day is sufficient!¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently.


    Cao Lu felt unsteady, suppressing the urge to cough up blood.


    Perfection Realm, one day is sufficient?!


    Was this kid doing this on purpose? To im he cultivated Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm in one day, just to infuriate him?


    Lin Yong tried to calm himself and asked Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young man, how long have you been practicing the Sword Thirteen technique?¡±


    His expression had softened considerablypared to before.


    However, he still did not believe that Yang Xiaotian had reached Perfection in one day.


    Knowing that Lin Yong and Chen Yuan did not believe it, Yang Xiaotian casually made up a time, ¡°I have practiced for about a year.¡±


    In fact, after a night of training the previous evening, he had not only cultivated Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm, but he had also brought the Four Seasons Sword Technique and Tiger King Fist to the Perfection Realm.


    ¡°To cultivate Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm in one year is very remarkable!¡± When Lin Yong heard this, he eximed in admiration.


    After all, many people spend their whole lives unable to bring a martial skill to the Perfection Realm.


    And Yang Xiaotian had done it in one year.


    Yang Xiaotian listened to Lin Yong¡¯s exmation, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.


    Lin Yong then said earnestly, ¡°Although you have cultivated Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm, you must not becent. You have to diligently practice the Four Seasons Sword Technique and strive to bring it to the Great


    Aplishment Realm by the end-of-term exam.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian wanted to exin, but in the end, he simply nodded.


    At this moment, Xie Chu, supported by Hu Xing¡¯s men, was staring at Yang Xiaotian in shock and anger.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at a face full of regret and said indifferently, ¡°You lost, don¡¯t forget the wager, go kneel for an hour at the academy¡¯s main gate.¡± Xie Chu almost fainted.


    After a while, Yang Xiaotian and the others left one after another.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity,¡± Lin Yong said, shaking his head as he watched Yang Xiaotian leave.


    Yang Xiaotian had decent Sword Dao talent, but unfortunately his Martial Soul was too weak, and he was destined not to grow into a powerhouse that could rule an area.


    Gazing at Yang Xiaotian, Chen Yuan also sighed, ¡°If only this kid had a tenth-grade Martial Soul, that would¡¯ve been great.¡± Even if not tenth-grade, ninth-grade would do..

    Chapter 33: Sword ying Four Directions


    Trantor: 549690339


    After leaving, Yang Xiaotian went to the Academy¡¯s Book Pavilion.


    Since only one secret tome could be borrowed at a time, Yang Xiaotian chose the ¡°Phantom Sword Technique¡± this time.


    Although the Phantom Sword Technique was Acquired Swordsmanship, it was far more powerful than Sword Thirteen. If perfected, it couldpare with Innate Martial Arts.


    Previously, Chen Bingyao had used the Phantom Sword Technique for his second challenge against Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian taking the Phantom Sword Technique and leaving, Hu Xing¡¯s face darkened.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to actually cultivate Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm,¡± Cheng Beibei said with a furrowed brow, watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Sword Thirteen is just an Acquired Martial Technique. So what if he has perfected it?¡± Hu Xing scoffed with a sneer. ¡°In a year, if he doesn¡¯t break through to the seventh rank, he will have to pack up and leave just the same.¡±


    While carrying the Phantom Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian flipped through it as he walked home. By the time he was close to his house, he hadpletely memorized it.


    The Phantom Sword Technique didn¡¯t consist of many moves¡ªjust eighteen¡ªbut it was known for its speed as one of the top Acquired Sword Techniques.


    Meanwhile, Yang Chao and Huang Ying received the money that Yang Xiaotian had sent through the merchant association.


    Although it was only 1,100 gold coins, it was a substantial amount for Yang Chao and Huang Ying, who wept tears of joy upon receiving it.


    As for Yang Hai, he also learned that Yang Xiaotian could stay at Divine Sword Academy for the time being.


    Yang Hai was so angry that he wanted to flip the table.


    ¡°The Great Manor Lord need not worry,¡± assured a guard under Yang Hai¡¯smand. ¡°Young Master Yang Zhong said in his letter that if Yang Xiaotian cannot break through to the seventh rank in a year, he will still have to leave Divine Sword Academy. With second tier Martial Soul, it¡¯s impossible for him to make that breakthrough in a year.¡±


    Then he added, ¡°Besides, Yang Xiaotian has offended Lord Hu Xing, he¡¯s sure not to have an easy time at Divine Sword Academy this year.¡±


    Yang Hai¡¯s expression finally softened.


    After returning to his house, Yang Xiaotian saw that the Half-Beast People, Ate and Ali, were practicing the Soul Severing de Technique, but he did not disturb them and began practicing the Phantom Sword Technique instead.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t use the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, but practiced with an ordinary long sword instead. As he swung his sword, shadows stacked upon shadows appeared until there were eightyers!


    One moreyer than Chen Bingyao had aplished previously.


    The Phantom Sword Technique was known for its speed. Reaching sevenyers of sword shadows with each move was considered the realm of initial sess.


    And now, Yang Xiaotian had reached eightyers of sword shadows.


    Reaching nineyers would signify the realm of great aplishment.


    Soon after, Yang Xiaotian had executed all eighteen moves of the Phantom Sword Technique.


    After a brief pause, Yang Xiaotian swung his sword again.


    This time the sword was even faster.


    Previously, one could still see the de, but now the sword was no longer visible.


    As the sword shadows reached the eighthyer, anotheryer emerged beyond the eighth.


    Ninevers!


    And Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure had be astonishingly quick.


    With the Phantom Sword Technique in the realm of initial sess, the sword shadows were a mix of illusion and reality with only one true shadow, but after stepping into the realm of great aplishment, every single one of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword shadows was a true strike.


    Immersed in the Phantom Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian became faster and faster. After several hours, only sword shadows could be seen, not his form, as he had entirely blended into theyer uponyer of sword shadows.


    This was the Perfection Realm!


    And the sword shadows had reached tenyers!


    After cultivating the Phantom Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian practiced a little more but could not reach the realm of summit mastery and had to stop. He then began practicing the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    ¡°One Sword Yin Yang.¡± ¡°Sword Falls from the Nine Heavens.¡±


    ¡°One Sword Instance.¡±


    After practicing the Spirit Snake Sword Technique, Sword Thirteen, Four Seasons Sword Technique, and Phantom Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian could more profoundly appreciate the unfathomable power of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    After executing One Sword Instance, Yang Xiaotian suddenly rose into the air, the Heaven -Prating Divine Sword in his hand striking out in a spinning fashion.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian hadpleted a full rotation, he had already thrust his sword in sixteen directions both front and back, left and right, for a total of sixteen times!


    Those sixteen sword strikes,pleted nearly in one breath, didn¡¯t pause for even a moment.


    This move allowed one sword strike to simultaneously target sixteen enemies in every direction around the body.


    This was precisely the fourth move of the Heaven-Prating Sword


    Technique, ¡°Sword ying Four Directions.¡±


    Once the sword was released, there were almost no dead angles.


    However, after executing it for the first time, Yang Xiaotian felt his speed was still too slow. Although his sword strikes were already extremely fast, there was more than a breath¡¯s time between the first and the sixteenth strike.


    In a real fight, by the time he reached the sixteenth person, the enemy would have likely already reacted and dodged away.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped to carefully contemte the sixteen variations of this sword strike. After a while, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand pierced out again.


    Sixteen sword strikes, all in one go.


    This time it was a bit faster than before.


    But Yang Xiaotian was still not satisfied; after a while, he struck again. By the time Yang Xiaotian was satisfied and stopped, he realized that the sky had already darkened.


    Instead of continuing to practice swordsmanship, Yang Xiaotian took out the beginner¡¯s Artifact Refining Secret Tome that he had obtained from Lin Chengxin, the head guard of Xingyue City¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    In these days, he had been busy with cultivation and hadn¡¯t yet looked at this artifact refining tome.


    While the status of an artifact refiner was far from that of an alchemist, mastering one more skill wasn¡¯t a bad thing.


    The artifact refining tome wasn¡¯t thick, having just over a hundred pages, and it introduced some fundamental knowledge about artifact refining.


    Alchemy required the Heaven and Earth Fire, but artifact refining didn¡¯t always need that particr me, and also the process of refining artifacts didn¡¯t require a very strong spiritual sense, making it a lot easier to be an artifact refiner.


    Of course, to be an artifact refiner, one needed to understand the functions of various artifact refining materials and master certain artifact refining techniques.


    However, the techniques used in alchemy could generally be applied to artifact refining as well, as the two had certain simrities.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian finished reading the artifact refining tome, feeling like there was still much to learn, nning to go to the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Repository tomorrow to look through more books about artifact refining.


    At night, Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed in his room, cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul and the ck Snake Martial Spirit emerged.


    A few more patterns had appeared on the shell of the giant ck Tortoise, shining even more brilliantly, and the ck Snake Martial Spirit had also grown in size. Previously, the ck Snake Martial Spirit usually coiled on top of the shell of the ck Tortoise, but now, it would leave the shell when devouring nature¡¯s spiritual energy,pletely separating from the ck Tortoise.


    However, during tonight¡¯s cultivation, Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat restless, with all sorts of ferocious demons constantly emerging in his mind.


    He even had the sensation of being in a sea of blood.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to lose himself to the demonic illusions, suddenly, a burst of cold air from the Cold Jade Bed snapped him awake.


    Yang Xiaotian, sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, opened his eyes and touched his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.


    What¡¯s going on here?


    Yang Xiaotian wondered, perplexed. He had never encountered this kind of situation during his past cultivations..

 Chapter 34: A New Swordsmanship Every Day

    Chapter 34: A New Swordsmanship Every Day


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian wiped the sweat from his forehead and left his room, only to realize it was already deep into the night.


    He strolled over to Luo Qing¡¯s courtyard and shared the details of his recent cultivation with him.


    Luo Qing pondered and said, ¡°This could be a sign of qi deviation.¡± ¡°Qi deviation?¡± Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    Luo Qing nodded, ¡°Has the master been frequently consuming elixirs for cultivationtely?¡±


    Frequently consuming elixirs?


    Yang Xiaotian honestly replied, ¡°In the past two months, I have taken over a dozen portions of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and four Innate Spirit Pills. ¡±


    Luo Qing looked serious, ¡°That¡¯s the problem. The master has been frequently consuming arge amount of elixirs for cultivation. Although the realm has improved very rapidly, the mind hasn¡¯t been able to keep up, leading to an unstable foundation.¡¯


    He then said, ¡°In the path of cultivation, one must avoid blindly ingesting the power of medicines.¡±


    ¡°If the foundation is unstable, the higher the realm you reach, the more difficult it is to advance. In the long run, it would lead to ruin!¡±


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.


    Every medicine has its side effects.


    Was this the side effect of elixirs?


    Fortunately, he thought the Dragon-Tiger Elixir was too low-level and didn¡¯t take those ten high-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, otherwise the qi deviation this time might have been even more severe.


    A whileter, Yang Xiaotian left Luo Qing¡¯s courtyard.


    ording to Luo Qing¡¯s advice, from now on, he should take elixirs for cultivation with a gap of at least one month in between.


    And try to consume only high -quality or better elixirs.


    Of course, supreme-quality elixirs would be the best.


    After this experience with qi deviation, Yang Xiaotian truly understood why the prices of supreme-quality elixirs were far above those of high -quality and other grades of elixirs.


    Returning to his room, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Once bitten, twice shy.


    This time, he was much more careful.


    Fortunately, no more illusions emerged.


    The long night passed.


    Sunlight streamed into the room.


    It was warm.


    Yang Xiaotian stretched and went to the courtyard, finding the Golden


    Armored Beast breathing in and out at the void, obviously also cultivating. Seeing this, an idea struck him; Hong Feng¡¯s cave residence seemed to contain cultivation techniques for demon beasts.


    In the end, he found a copy of the Heavenly Beast Art.


    The Heavenly Beast Art was one of the most top-tier cultivation techniques for demon beasts in Hong Feng¡¯s cave residence.


    After the Golden Armored Beast stopped its cultivation, Yang Xiaotian handed the Heavenly Beast Art to it. Fearing that the Golden Armored Beast couldn¡¯t read, he read it out loud word by word and exined it as he went.


    After Yang Xiaotian finished exining it once and was about to exin it a second time, the Golden Armored Beast shook its head and gestured with its hands.


    ¡°You understand?¡± Yang Xiaotian grasped what the Golden Armored Beast meant.


    The Golden Armored Beast smiled wide, nodded, then sat down in the posture described in the Heavenly Beast Art and began to breathe in and out on the spot.


    Soon, beams of light radiated from the golden scales covering the Golden Armored Beast¡¯s body.


    Yang Xiaotian was amazed; he hadn¡¯t expected the little guy to have such a


    good memory andprehension, mastering it after just one exnation.


    Though the cultivation technique was only a set of pathways, such quickprehension was still rare.


    Seeing the Golden Armored Beast cultivate, Yang Xiaotian ordered the Half-Beast People, Ate and Ali, to go purchase the ingredients needed for refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs and at the same time to inquire about the ingredients for the Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Having bought a mansion, he didn¡¯t have much money left now. He intended to refine Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to sell and save some money for unforeseen needs.


    Of course, refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs was also aimed at improving his alchemy level.


    Practice makes perfect, and once he could produce top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, refining top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills wouldn¡¯t be far off.


    After Ate and Ali had left, Yang Xiaotian took the Phantom Sword Technique manual with him to the Academy Repository to exchange it.


    Lu Zelin, the teacher guarding the Book Pavilion, saw Yang Xiaotian returning the Phantom Sword Technique so soon and couldn¡¯t help but be astonished, ¡°Are you sure you want to exchange it?¡±


    Generally, academy students would practice a swordsmanship manual for over a month before returning it.


    Someone like Yang Xiaotian, who came back to exchange it after just one day, was very rare.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, then exchanged it for another manual, ¡°Vast Sea Sword Technique¡±.


    Vast Sea Sword Technique, like Phantom Sword Technique, was one of the Acquired top-tier martial arts.


    However, unlike the Phantom Sword Technique, Vast Sea Sword Technique was profound, with power that flowed endlessly.


    Hu Xing saw Yang Xiaotian leaving with the Vast Sea Sword Technique and said, ¡°It seems he couldn¡¯tprehend the Phantom Sword Technique, which is why he¡¯s so quicklye back to exchange for Vast Sea Sword Technique.¡±


    ¡°Phantom Sword Technique involves illusory and substantive maneuvers and is much more profound than Sword Thirteen,¡± Lu Zelin said. ¡°It¡¯s normal that he couldn¡¯t grasp it. Dean Lin had called him a Sword Dao genius; I guess that was an overstatement.¡±


    Hu Xing shook his head andughed, ¡°He must have gotten lucky to have cultivated Sword Thirteen to the perfection realm.¡±


    ¡°If he can¡¯tprehend Vast Sea Sword Technique, he might bring it back tomorrow to exchange for another.¡±


    Like yesterday, Yang Xiaotian flipped through the Vast Sea Sword Technique on his way back to the mansion. Once home, he had already memorized it in its entirety and began to practice.


    After cultivating Vast Sea Sword Technique to perfection, Yang Xiaotian began to refine Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    This time, he had Ate and Ali purchase a huge amount of ingredients, enough for him to refine thirty Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    However, this nearly depleted all his savings.


    Refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs now, Yang Xiaotian was much more skilled than before.


    Previously, he could refine a Dragon-Tiger Elixir in under an hour; this time it was even faster, taking only half an hour to produce one.


    Soon, he had refined ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    As night deepened, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t continue to refine, but instead practiced the Primordial Dragon Art.


    When dawn broke, he instructed Ate and Ali to take ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to sell at various trading houses.


    To avoid drawing attention, he told them to sell only two at each trading house.


    He also had them purchase arge batch of ores in return.


    Yang Xiaotian, holding the Vast Sea Sword Technique, returned to the Divine Sword Academy Repository.


    Learning that Yang Xiaotian wanted to exchange sword techniques again, Lu Zelin didn¡¯t ask further this time and swiftly processed the exchange for another top-tier Acquired sword technique.


    After exchanging the sword techniques, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t rush to leave but spent an hour looking at artifact refining books in the Book Pavilion before departing.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, Lu Zelin said to Hu Xing with a smile, ¡°Seems like you were right; he couldn¡¯tprehend Vast Sea Sword Technique and hase back today to exchange it for another technique.¡±


    Hu Xingughed and said, ¡°With a second -level Martial Soul, how high can his


    Sword Dao talent really be? All he can do is practice something basic like Sword


    Thirteen, and maybe he¡¯lle back tomorrow to exchange for another sword


    technique. ¡±


    Hu Xing¡¯s guess was correct; the next day, Yang Xiaotian came back to exchange for another sword technique.


    And in the days that followed, he exchanged for a new sword technique every day.


    A month blinked past.


    Yang Xiaotian had gone through all the top-tier Acquired swordsmanship manuals in the Divine Sword Academy Repository.

 Chapter 35 - 35 Want to Cultivate Gale Thunder Sword Technique

    Chapter 35: Want to Cultivate Gale Thunder Sword Technique


    Trantor: 549690339


    This past month, Yang Xiaotian had mastered all the top Acquired sword techniques of the Divine Sword Academy to the Perfection Realm.


    Mastering sword techniques like the Phantom Sword Technique and the Vast Sea Sword Technique to the Summit Mastery Realm was not difficult for Yang Xiaotian, but it would take roughly ten days per technique.


    One sword technique would take ten days, and thirty sword techniques would take three hundred days. For Yang Xiaotian, this was too time-consuming, so he only practiced each sword technique to the Perfection Realm.


    In the future, when he had spare time, he nned to meditate on these sword techniques and master them to the Summit Mastery Realm.


    In this month, besides mastering all the top Acquired sword techniques of the Divine Sword Academy to the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian had also refined hundreds of Elixirs.


    There were Tiger Dragon Elixirs, as well as other healing elixirs.


    After a great deal of practice, he finally seeded in refining top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    In addition, Yang Xiaotian also studied Artifact Refining.


    Although it had only been a short month, his level in Artifact Refining had improved dramatically, to the point where he could now refine Innate Spirit Instruments.


    He forged not only swords and sabers but also many suits of armor, which were much stronger than the Tiger King Spirit Armor that his grandfather treasured as precious.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s skills in Alchemy and Artifact Refining had improved tremendously, and his strength had also made significant strides.


    This month, he did not consume any Elixirs but continuously tempered the True Qi in his Dantian to solidify his foundation. Still, two days ago, he had a breakthrough to the fourth level of the Innate Realm.


    ¡°Sword Sea Endless!¡± In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian, holding the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, struck out with a single blow, and immediately the Sword Qi surged forward like waves, extending to the end of the yard.


    Sword Sea Endless is the fifth move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    This move, when cultivated to its extreme,mands a surging sword sea for thousands of miles!


    It annihtes armies!


    It ys thousands of gods!


    After practicing the Heaven -Prating Sword Technique for a while, Yang Xiaotian suddenly switched from sword to fist, resembling a ferocious tiger as he unleashed a powerful punch.


    ¡°Tiger Roars the Heavens and Earth!¡±


    A gigantic tiger-shaped fist force roared through the heavens and earth.


    The fist force ttened everything in front of it, echoing in the courtyard for a long time.


    The Tiger King Fist technique had finally reached the Summit Mastery Realm!


    ¡°Summit Mastery, excellent!¡± At this moment, Luo Qing, who hade outside Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard, pped his hands in praise.


    Yang Xiaotian paused, saw that it was Luo Qing, and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just an Acquired martial technique, quiteughable, really.¡±


    Luo Qing entered and, looking at Yang Xiaotian, said with a smile, ¡°Although it is an Acquired martial technique, the fact that you could cultivate it to the


    Summit Mastery Realm shows how extraordinary your Martial Dao Talent is!¡±


    He had been a Sect Master with thousands of Sect Disciples, among whom were nock of martial talents, but he had never seen a disciple who managed to cultivate an Acquired martial technique to the Summit Mastery Realm in just one month.


    And how old was Yang Xiaotian!


    Such Martial Dao Talent was almost unheard of in ten thousand years.


    Upon hearing Luo Qing¡¯s admiration, Yang Xiaotian smiled and asked, ¡°How do you feel now?¡± referring to Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian recovery.


    Luo Qing said happily, ¡®Master, my Dantian has just fully recovered. I came to tell Master the good news.¡±


    After a month of hard practice with the Wooden Emperor Skill and soaking in the medicinal bath that Yang Xiaotian had prepared for him, his shattered Dantian had beenpletely restored.


    At this news, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes brightened, and heughed, ¡°Oh, is that so? Haha, that¡¯s great news. Let¡¯s have Ate buy a few jugs of good wer. We should celebrate properly.¡±


    He was genuinely happy for Luo Qing.


    Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian waspletely repaired, which meant he had regained the peak cultivation of a Martial King with tenyers of power.


    ¡°All thanks to Master,¡± Luo Qing suddenly knelt down and said gratefully, ¡°If not for Master, I would still be a cripple now.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian helped Luo Qing to his feet and said, ¡°Get up, you don¡¯t need to kneel to me in the future.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Qing respectfully clenched his fist and said, ¡°Yes,


    Master.¡±


    ¡°In the future, don¡¯t call me Master either, just call me ¡®Young Master¡¯ ,¡± Yang Xiaotian said earnestly.


    Luo Qing hesitated for a moment before finally nodding, ¡®Yes, ¡®Young Master¡¯.¡±


    Immediately, Yang Xiaotian sent Ate and Ali to buy several jars of good wine to celebrate properly; both Ate and Ali were happy for Luo Qing regaining his strength upon learning that his Dantian had been repaired.


    This month, Luo Qing often provided guidance on martial arts cultivation for Ate and the others, and he was both a teacher and a friend to them.


    That night, Yang Xiaotian and the others drank on.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian took the swordsmanship manuals back to the Academy Repository of Divine Sword Academy to continue exchanging them for other manuals.


    But this time, he decided to exchange for Innate Martial Arts.


    After all, he had already practiced all the top Acquired martial arts from the Academy Repository, so he could only practice Innate Martial Arts now.


    ¡°What, you want to exchange for the ¡®Gale Thunder Sword Technique!!?¡± Lu


    Zelin was shocked to see that Yang Xiaotian wanted to exchange for the Gale Thunder Sword Technique today, ¡°Are you sure? Do you know that this is an Innate Martial Art?¡±


    A first-year student, actually wanting to practice Innate Martial Arts?


    Isn¡¯t this a joke?


    ¡°I know,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    ¡°You know and you still want to borrow the ¡®Gale Thunder Sword Technique¡¯?¡± Lu Zelin frowned, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you can¡¯t evenprehend top Acquired sword techniques like the Phantom Sword Technique and the Vast Sea Sword Technique, and now you want to learn Innate Martial Arts?¡±


    ¡°The path of cultivation requires taking one step at a time. If you can¡¯t even walk, how can you think of flying?¡±


    Unable toprehend the Phantom Sword Technique and the Vast Sea Sword Technique? Yang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and then smiled. It seemed that frequently exchanging the sword techniques in the eyes of Lu Zelin was because he couldn¡¯t understand them and had to keep exchanging for new ones?


    However, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t exin and said, ¡°The academy has no rule against first-year students learning Innate Martial Arts, right?¡±


    Lu Zelin shook his head and, without further persuasion, finally exchanged the ¡®Gale Thunder Sword Technique¡¯ for Yang Xiaotian.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian leave with the ¡®Gale Thunder Sword Technique¡¯, Lu


    Zelin shook his head and then shared the news with Hu Xing. After hearing it,


    Hu Xingughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian wants to practice the ¡®Gale Thunder Sword


    Technique¡¯?¡±


    Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong were also present, and Cheng Beibei smiled, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian really is a Martial Dao genius! Just a month after joining the school and he¡¯s already practicing Innate Sword Techniques!¡±


    Yang Zhong smiled and said, ¡°Perhaps, he¡¯ll really be able to master the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.¡±


    The few of themughed.


    Hu Xing told his master, Lin Yong, the news.


    Upon hearing it, both Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were stunned.


    ¡°Exchanging top Acquired martial arts every day, and now switching to Innate Martial Arts?¡± Lin Yong, having been the dean for so long, had never encountered such a case.


    Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, ¡°I never thought this child would aspire so high.¡± He then said to Lin Yong, ¡°I¡¯ll find an opportunity to talk to him.¡±


    If it were any other student, he wouldn¡¯t bother, but Yang Xiaotian was someone he had made an effort to keep at the school, and he didn¡¯t want the child to go astray in his cultivation.


    After leaving with the Gale Thunder Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t return home but instead headed to the Pharmacist Hall.


    Having been in Divine Sword City for a month now and busy with Alchemy and sword practice, he nned to go take the Pharmacist certification exam today..

 Chapter 36: Have I Passed?

    Chapter 36: Have I Passed?


    Trantor: 549690339


    The Pharmacist Hall was located in the center of Divine Sword City, not far from Divine Sword Academy.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly arrived at the Pharmacist Hall.


    The construction of the Pharmacist Hall was grand and imposing to the extreme; many of the materials even consisted of various rare crystals, truly more extravagant than the Divine Sword Academy.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but marvel at how truly wealthy the Pharmacist Hall was.


    That pharmacists were wealthy, he had deeply experienced.


    Because this month alone, the money he had earned from selling the elixirs he crafted amounted to five or six hundred thousand gold.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, the main gate of the Pharmacist Hall had no guards.


    Was it because they weren¡¯t worried about disturbances, so there was no need for guards at the gate?


    Yang Xiaotian casually strolled into the Pharmacist Hall.


    The architecture inside the grand hall bore some resemnce to ancient European style.


    The four walls were engraved with various lifelike ancient paintings.


    The grand hall was spacious, with only a silver-haired elder standing there, staring at an ancient painting.


    When the silver-haired elder heard someoneing in, he turned his head, and upon seeing an eight or nine-year-old child, he appeared somewhat surprised andughed, ¡°Child, this is the Pharmacist Hall, you¡¯ve gone to the wrong ce. ¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I know it¡¯s the Pharmacist Hall, I came to take the alchemist examination.¡±


    ¡°The alchemist examination?¡± The silver-haired elder was taken aback, then burst into heartyughter, ¡°Little fellow, you want to take the alchemist examination?


    Typically, those who came to take the alchemist examination were at least fourteen or fifteen years old.


    An eight-year-old child like Yang Xiaotian taking the alchemist examination was unheard of.


    What could an eight-year-old child do?


    At that age, they probably couldn¡¯t even recognize a few medicinal materials, yet he wanted to take the alchemist examination.


    No wonder the silver-haired elderughed.


    Of course, hisughter carried no malice.


    The silver-haired elder was none other than Li Wen, the foremost among the four great alchemists of Divine Sea Country.


    Li Wen was also the Grand Hall Master of the Divine Sea Country¡¯s Pharmacist Hall.


    The Hall Master of the Divine Sword City¡¯s Pharmacist Hall, Lin Yuan, was his direct disciple. Li Wen had just arrived in Divine Sword City this morning, and since he didn¡¯t want to reveal his whereabouts, nobody besides his disciple Lin Yuan knew of his arrival in Divine Sword City.


    ¡°Alright, you say you want to take the alchemist examination, do you know what qualifications are needed to be an alchemist?¡± Li Wen looked at Yang Xiaotian, the handsome child, with a smile in his eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I know, understand the effects of various medicinal materials, possess soul perception, and be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Fire.¡±


    Li Wen chuckled, ¡°It seems you do know quite a lot.¡±


    At this moment, the Hall Master of the Divine Sword City¡¯s Pharmacist Hall, Lin Yuan, walked in. Seeing his master having a conversation with an eight- or nine-year-old child, he couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian wanted to take the alchemist examination, Lin Yuan, like Li Wen, also smiled.


    Li Wen said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Child, how about this, if you can sessfully craft a batch of low-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid within six hours, I will make an exception and let you join the Pharmacist Hall.¡¯


    ording to the rules of the Pharmacist Hall, crafting a batch of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid within three hours would mean passing the one-star pharmacist examination.


    Considering Yang Xiaotian¡¯s age, Li Wen was giving him six hours to sessfully craft the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    ¡°No need to make an exception,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied upon hearing this, shaking his head, ¡°If the rule of the Pharmacist Hall is three hours, then it¡¯s three hours.¡±


    Now, he didn¡¯t even need half an hour to craft a premium Dragon-Tiger Elixir, let alone Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    He should be able to craft a batch of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in about ten minutes now.


    Li Wen heard Yang Xiaotian say there was no need for exceptions and exchanged a smile with Lin Yuan.


    This little fellow sure had some spirit.


    ¡°Good, you¡¯ve got spirit,¡± Li Wen said, looking at Yang Xiaotian with a smile; he was suddenly rather fond of this adorable little fellow.


    Then, he and Lin Yuan took Yang Xiaotian to the grand hall specially used for the alchemist examination.


    Li Wen took out his own Medicine Cauldron and said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Little fellow, use my Medicine Cauldron to craft.¡±


    Lin Yuan was astonished.


    The Master had always treasured his Medicine Cauldron, yet today, he was willing to take it out for this child to undergo an Alchemy assessment.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t think much of it and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Straight away, Lin Yuan ced the fourteen medicinal ingredients needed to concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    However, Alchemists participating in the assessment had to pay a certain fee since the Pharmacist Hall couldn¡¯t just give away these ingredients for free, but when Yang Xiaotian was about to pay, Li Wen smiled and said, ¡°No need, little guy, I¡¯ll pay.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and, with a flick of his finger, all fourteen medicinal ingredients immediately flew up and into the Medicine Cauldron.


    Li Wen and Lin Yuan, who hadn¡¯t thought much of it, were both taken aback.


    A true expert reveals himself with a single action.


    The gesture with which Yang Xiaotian had flicked his fingers stunned them both.


    ¡°What is that?!¡± Lin Yuan eximed as he looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment.


    The simple flick of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fingers was, in reality, an extraordinarily mysterious maneuver, resembling an Alchemy technique thought to have been lost long ago.


    Yet, he wasn¡¯t entirely certain.


    He looked towards his Master, Li Wen.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Layered Wave Hand!¡± Li Wen¡¯s voice trembled slightly.


    The Layered Wave Hand, a technique he was fortunate enough to have witnessed a precedent perform at an unparalleled grand Alchemy conference years ago.


    He understood the significance behind the Layered Wave Hand more deeply than his disciple Lin Yuan.


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was greatly shaken. It was indeed the Layered Wave Hand!


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian sped his hands in front of him and, with a sweeping motion, streams of Heaven and Earth Fire gathered from all around.


    These torrents of Heaven and Earth Fire, like ocean waves, surged toward the Medicine Cauldron.


    Seeing the all-enveloping Heaven and Earth Fire approaching, both Li Wen and Lin Yuan were taken aback, their faces filled with shock.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Lin yuan¡¯s voice trembled.


    Yang Xiaotian, an eight-year-old child, had soul power so strong that he could attract so much Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Moreover, this Heaven and Earth Fire was so pure!


    What both men didn¡¯t know was that Yang Xiaotian had actually restrained his soul power.


    In front of the incredulous gazes of Lin Yuan and Li Wen, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gestures never ceased, and the Heaven and Earth Fire kept pouring into the Medicine Cauldron.


    These waves of Heaven and Earth Fire, sometimes raging, sometimes calm, continuously flowed.


    Under the tempering of this Heaven and Earth Fire, soon all fourteen ingredients in the Medicine Cauldron melted one by one.


    Shortly after, all fourteen ingredients had fused, forming a single entity.


    A vibrant green liquid materialized in front of the two men.


    A fragrance of medicinal herbs pervaded the entire hall.


    And this fragrance was concentrated and enduring.


    Li Wen and Lin Yuan were stunned as they looked at the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid inside the Medicine Cauldron.


    It was done?


    It seemed like only a quarter of an hour had passed!


    ¡°This is premium grade!¡± Lin Yuan couldn¡¯t contain his excitement.


    In just a quarter of an hour, a premium grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had been crafted!


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian as if he were beholding a priceless treasure.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, let out a sigh of relief. He had intentionally crafted the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to premium grade quality because concocting a supreme-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in just a quarter of an hour would have been too startling.


    However, having gotten ustomed to crafting supreme-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid before, deliberately making a premium-grade one now was genuinely tiring.


    Seeing that Li Wen and Lin Yuan were still staring at the premium-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without saying a word, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to speak up, ¡°So, did I pass?

 Chapter 37 - 37 Impersonating a Pharmacist?

    Chapter 37: Impersonating a Pharmacist?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Li Wen and Lin Yuan both came back to their senses.


    The two looked at the childlike Yang Xiaotian before them, their eyes filled withplexity, disbelief, fervor, and mostly, astonishment.


    ¡°Child, how long have you been studying alchemy?¡± Li Wen was the first to speak up.


    Lin Yuan also stared intently at Yang Xiaotian; this was also what he most wanted to know.


    It had been just three months since he started practicing alchemy after discovering Hong Feng¡¯s cave dwelling, but Yang Xiaotian still replied, ¡°About three years.¡±


    Nevertheless, both Li Wen and Lin Yuan were still incredibly shocked.


    Three years to concoct superior-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, such talent was absolutely unparalleled in the Divine Sea Country for hundreds of vears.


    Many renowned pharmacists in the Divine Sea Country, who had been practicing alchemy for decades, could only produce superior-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Because the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was too difficult to sessfully concoct, many pharmacists spent their entire lives trying without sess, which was rted to their innate soul perception.


    ¡°Who taught you your alchemy techniques?¡± Lin Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    As soon as he spoke, he saw his mentor Li Wen give him a sharp nce as a warning.


    Lin Yuan was so frightened that he dared not ask any further questions.


    A momentter, Li Wen personally issued Yang Xiaotian a one-star alchemist robe and a one-star pharmacist medal.


    He warmly said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Child, send my regards to your master. In the future, if you have any issues, you cane to me; if I am not in Divine Sword City, you can find Lin Yuan, or you cane to the Royal City to find me.¡± He then gave Yang Xiaotian an identity token, ¡°This is my identity token, with it, you shall be treated as you would treat me.¡±


    ¡°With this token, you may enter and exit any Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Sea Country.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, took the other partys identity token and then handed a list of medicinal ingredients to Lin Yuan, ¡°Does the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall have these materials? I wish to purchase them.¡±


    He had bought many materials for concocting the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, but he stillcked seven types. These seven materials were very scarce and hard toe by in some trade associations.


    Lin Yuan took the list of materials and looked at it with surprise in his eyes, but he still nodded, ¡°The Pharmacist Hall has these materials. How much do you need?¡±


    ¡°How much is there? I¡¯ll take it all!¡± Yang Xiaotian astonishingly dered.


    Take it all?!


    Li Wen and Lin Yuan were both astounded.


    ¡°These materials are not cheap. One set costs over a thousand gold, and there should be dozens of sets in the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall, totaling around fifty to sixty thousand gold. Are you sure you want them all?¡± Lin Yuan asked.


    After all, fifty to sixty thousand gold was not a small sum.


    ¡°All of it!¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Hecked precisely these materials, of course he wanted as much as possible.


    With these materials, he could practice making the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Dozens of sets should allow him to concoct several top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian insist on taking all, Lin Yuan took out all the Pharmacist Hall¡¯s inventory with a mix of belief and doubt.


    Yang Xiaotian took out over fifty thousand gold and took all the materials away.


    Under theplex gazes of Li Wen and Lin Yuan, he left the Pharmacist Hall.


    ¡°A genius of the millennium!¡± Li Wen watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing slender figure and eximed in admiration.


    ¡°With Young Master Yang¡¯s talent, I¡¯m afraid it will only take another five years for him to be able to concoct the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡± As Lin Yuan watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure, he too couldn¡¯t help but exim in astonishment.


    Five years, by then how old will Yang Xiaotian be? Thirteen!


    Thirteen and able to produce top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Lin Yuan found this astonishing.


    Yang Xiaotian had just left the Pharmacist Hall and didn¡¯t get far before he ran into Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong.


    Seeing the two of them, it appeared they were here for the Pharmacist Hall as


    well.


    When Cheng Beibei and herpanion encountered Yang Xiaotian, they were quite surprised, then recalling that Yang Xiaotian had vowed to be an Alchemist while on the way to Divine Sword Academy, Cheng Beibei couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re really here to take the Alchemist exam?


    Yang Xiaotian hummed, saying, ¡°I have already sessfully passed the examination.¡±


    Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong were startled, then Cheng Beibei couldn¡¯t help but double over withughter, ¡°You? Passed the examination?¡±


    Yang Zhong smiled and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you im to have passed the examination, then how long did it take you to produce the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?¡±


    ¡°Less than half an hour,¡± replied Yang Xiaotian.


    Less than half an hour!


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s serious expression, Cheng Beibei found it even more hrious.


    ¡°Originally, I was in a bad mood, but after hearing your words, I feel much better now,¡± Cheng Beibei said with augh, then to Yang Zhong, ¡°Let¡¯s go inside,¡± and she and Yang Zhong entered the Pharmacist Hall.


    Her visit to the Pharmacist Hall, of course, wasn¡¯t to take the Alchemy exam. Although she prided herself on her Alchemy talent, she knew she wasn¡¯t yet at the level required for the examination. This time, she was there to meet her sister-in-arms, Chen Zihan.


    Her sister-in-arms was a disciple of Lin Yuan and a one-star Alchemist in the Pharmacist Hall, as renowned as Qiu Haiqiu and hailed as one of the most talented young Alchemists in Divine Sea Country.


    A momentter, Cheng Beibei met her sister-in-arms, Chen Zihan, and after a warm greeting, Cheng Beibei mentioned running into Yang Xiaotian at the entrance.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian imed to have passed the Pharmacist examination, Chen Zihan immediately shook her head, ¡°Even in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom or the Divine Dragon Empire, it¡¯s impossible to have such a genius.¡±


    ¡°For countless years across our continent, there hasn¡¯t been anyone who could pass the Pharmacist¡¯s exam at the age of eight.¡±


    She turned to Yang Zhong, ¡°Since he is your cousin, when you go back, warn him not to falsely im to be a Pharmacist of the Pharmacist Hall!¡±


    Yang Zhong quickly nodded in agreement.


    After returning from the Pharmacist Hall, Yang Xiaotian began practicing the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.


    He first went through the technique from start to finish, memorizing the sword techniques and key principles before drawing his sword.


    It wasn¡¯t long before the sounds of thunder rolled through the courtyard, each of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword strikes apanied by shes of lightning, which grew stronger with each practice session.


    By noon, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword radiated lightning up to three meters in length!


    The Gale Thunder Sword Technique, which harnesses the power of Heaven and Earth¡¯s thunder, makes sword strikes overwhelming, as if irresistible. Drawing upon the thunder is just the beginning; reaching a length of one meter indicates minor aplishment.


    Three meters represents great aplishment.


    Having reached this level of great aplishment in the Gale Thunder Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian did not continue practicing. Instead, he took out the medicinal ingredients and began concocting the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    After a month of continuously crafting elixirs including the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Alchemy skills had improved significantly, his control over the Heaven and Earth Fire was remarkably precise, and his Alchemy techniques had also advanced. Thus, it took him only three hours to produce a Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    However, while the quality of this batch of Four Symbols Spirit Pill had improved, they still did not reach the highest grade.


    Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t disappointed. He took a short break before continuing to concoct a second Four Symbols Spirit Pill, but again, the second pill was only at the peak of premium quality.


    Seeing that night had fallen, Yang Xiaotian began to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art, sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed.


    Around him, the Qi flow was astonishing, forming four True Qi Dragons.


    Having recently broken through to the fourth level of the Innate realm two days ago, he had awoken the power of four True Dragons..

 Chapter 38: Shall We Broaden Our Horizons?

    Chapter 38: Shall We Broaden Our Horizons?


    Trantor: 549690339


    After awakening the power of the four True Dragons, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength and defense reached an astonishing level. To put it bluntly, even if he now stood still, letting a group of warriors at the fourth or even the fifth level of Innate stage barrage him wildly, they wouldn¡¯t be able to cause him the slightest injury.


    Having awakened the power of the four True Dragons, it was as if Yang Xiaotian was now wearing several pieces of extremely fine spirit-level armor.


    Moreover, with the awakening of the four True Dragons¡¯ power, the dragon might emanating from Yang Xiaotian grew more intense.


    To those unaware, they might think Yang Xiaotian was a high-level expert from the Long n.


    He cultivated throughout the night.


    Come dawn, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.


    After practicing the Gale Thunder Sword Technique for a while and still unable to reach the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian simply stopped practicing and nned to return to the Divine Sword Academy to exchange it for another Innate Martial Art.


    After all, he had already memorized all the sword moves, essentials, and variations of the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.


    To reach the Perfection Realm, all he needed was the umtion of time.


    Lu Zelin saw that Yang Xiaotian, as he had expected, came back the next day to exchange the sword technique and asked with a smile, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, how is your practice of the Gale Thunder Sword Technique going?¡±


    ¡°Not bad,¡± Yang Xiaotian said. ¡°I¡¯ve practiced it to the Great Aplishment Realm.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Zelinughed heartily and gave Yang Xiaotian a thumbs up, ¡°Awesome! To cultivate an Innate Martial Art to the Great Aplishment Realm in just one day, your Martial Dao Talent is truly unprecedented and unrivaled.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian ignored the other¡¯s teasing and continued to exchange for another Innate Martial Art, but these days, he had almost exclusively cultivated swordsmanship and hadn¡¯t practiced any palm techniques. So this time, he exchanged for a palm technique, the ¡°Cold Underworld Palm.¡±


    After obtaining the Cold Underworld Palm, Yang Xiaotian found a book about Martial Spirits in the Book Pavilion, and started flipping through it.


    He didn¡¯t know much about Martial Souls, so he wanted to understand them more deeply.


    Martial Souls were extremely diverse, with most being Beast Martial Souls.


    Besides Beast Martial Souls, there were also Sword Martial Souls, Saber Martial Souls, and even nt Martial Souls. However, the nt Martial Souls were generally of very low level.


    The book was thick, and it took Yang Xiaotian an hour to finish reading it.


    After finishing, Yang Xiaotian felt his emotions surge.


    Thest few pages of the book gave a detailed introduction to various Supreme Martial Spirits.


    It said there was a growth-type Supreme Martial Spirit that could grow continuously through cultivation until it eventually became a Supreme King Martial Spirit!


    In the vast expanse of the Martial Soul World, geniuses were in the billions, but in over a million years, only one person possessed the Supreme King Martial Spirit.


    As for who that person was, the book did not say.


    Knowing that his Martial Soul would eventually grow into a Supreme King


    Martial Soul, Yang Xiaotian could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.


    If there were no idents, both of his twin Supreme Martial Spirits couldter grow into Supreme King Martial Spirits.


    Leaving the Book Pavilion, the ss leader Zheng Zhipeng came to find him and said there would be a monthly test and to make sure he arrived on time at the ssroom by ten o¡¯clock to take the test. If he was absent and missed the test, ording to the academy¡¯s rules, he would receive a major demerit.


    Zheng Zhipeng finished speaking and left without paying further attention to Yang Xiaotian.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for Teacher Cao Lu instructing him to notify Yang Xiaotian, he would not have wanted to speak another half a word to him.


    ¡°Monthly test,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured as he watched Zheng Zhipeng¡¯s retreating figure.


    He had been so busy with sword practice, alchemy, and artifact refining that he had forgotten all about the monthly test.


    ording to the academy¡¯s rules, each ss was to conduct a monthly test.


    It seemed he would have to take time out every month toe back for it.


    Quite a hassle, indeed.


    However, there seems to be a rule that as long as you cultivate each martial technique to the Great Aplishment Realm each semester, you don¡¯t have to take the monthly exams.


    Yang Xiaotian followed behind Zheng Zhipeng and returned to the ssroom.


    After a month away, the ssroom hadn¡¯t changed, but the way people looked at him had changed a lot.


    Ever since Yang Xiaotian disyed the Perfection Realm¡¯s Sword Thirteen and defeated Xie Chu from the first ss, the boys and girls in his ss often talked about him, the freak with a second-grade Martial Soul.


    When Cao Lu saw Yang Xiaotian again, he still wore a displeased expression.


    Recently, it had spread throughout the academy that Yang Xiaotian, besides being able toprehend Sword Thirteen, was clueless about other swordsmanship. He went to the Book Pavilion every day without fail to exchange for a different sword technique.


    What¡¯s more ridiculous was that Yang Xiaotian had even exchanged for the Innate Sword Technique ¡°Gale Thunder Sword Technique¡± yesterday.


    The Gale Thunder Sword Technique, that¡¯s an Innate Top Martial Technique.


    Yang Xiaotian, a second-grade Martial Soul holder and an Acquired martial artist, couldn¡¯t even grasp the Acquired top-tier sword techniques like Phantom Sword Technique or Vast Sea Sword Technique, yet he dared to learn an Innate Top Martial Technique like the Gale Thunder Sword Technique!


    It was simply reckless!


    In the past, there was a first-year student in the academy who insisted on practicing Innate Martial Arts and ended up vomiting blood and bing possessed by devils in his practice.


    That student was practicing an ordinary Innate Martial Art, and now Yang Xiaotian was aiming to train in an Innate Top Martial Technique, wasn¡¯t that the height of recklessness?


    The more Cao Lu thought about it, the angrier he became.


    After giving Yang Xiaotian a re, Cao Lu said to the students of ss four,


    ¡°Now that everyone is here, let¡¯s start the monthly exam. Who will go first?¡±


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ll go first,¡± volunteered Zheng Zhipeng, the ss monitor, stepping forward.


    ¡°Good,¡± Cao Lu said with a smile as he saw it was Zheng Zhipeng, and he told the students, ¡°Open your eyes wide and observe the subtleties of the Tiger King Fist and the Four Seasons Sword Technique that Zhipeng is about to demonstrate!¡±


    Zheng Zhipeng moved to the middle of the ssroom and threw a fierce punch.


    ¡°The Tiger Descends the Mountain!¡±


    Instantly, the roar of a tiger resounded.


    ss four¡¯s students pped and cheered in approval.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian also nodded inwardly. Zheng Zhipeng, as the ss monitor, truly had some substance. His Tiger King Fist had reached the Great Aplishment Realm.


    Although it was just the threshold of the Great Aplishment Realm, it was nheless impressive.


    Feeling the adoration in the eyes of those around him, Zheng Zhipeng was secretly pleased. He kept moving his hands and continued punching. He soon finished demonstrating the Tiger King Fist.


    After that, he also disyed Sword Thirteen and the Four Seasons Sword Technique.


    His Sword Thirteen was also at the Great Aplishment Realm. However, among the three basic martial techniques, the Four Seasons Sword Technique was the hardest toprehend. Therefore, he had only managed to cultivate it to the peak of Minor Aplishment, still falling short of Great Aplishment.


    Even so, the students of ss four also pped thunderously.


    Cao Lu praised even more, saying, ¡°Good! Zhipeng, I didn¡¯t expect you to have cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the Great Aplishment Realm, not bad!¡± ¡°Teacher tters me,¡± Zheng Zhipeng said humbly.


    It was then the turn for a few other students in the ss to demonstrate, but the other few students¡¯ three martial techniques were generally at Minor Aplishment or the peak of Minor Aplishment, and were quite inferiorpared to Zheng Zhipeng.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian standing there without moving, Zheng Zhipeng thought that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword Technique were not well practiced and that he was feeling intimidated. Zheng Zhipengughed and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, your Sword Thirteen is at Perfection Realm, but how well have you cultivated the Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword Technique?¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you demonstrate your Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword


    Technique for us to broaden our horizons

 Chapter 39: Summit Mastery, Son of Martial

    Dao!


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Oh, a feast for the eyes?¡± Yang Xiaotian saw the smile on Zheng Zhipeng¡¯s face and knew exactlv what he had in mind.


    ¡°Since you managed to cultivate Sword Thirteen to the Perfection Realm within a year, it shows your Sword Dao Talent is incredible. I presume your Four Seasons Sword Technique must also be well cultivated,¡± Zheng Zhipeng smiled and said, ¡°Let us have our eyes opened and learn something.¡±


    Chen Bingyao, who had been defeated by Yang Xiaotian twice, also mored, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you wouldn¡¯t be too scared to disy it, would you? Or is it that your Four Seasons Sword Technique isn¡¯t even at the entry level?¡± Then heughed and said, ¡°Not even at the entry level.¡±


    Everyoneughed.


    But Yang Xiaotian turned his head and said to Cao Lu, ¡°I remember the academy has a rule that as long as thepulsory martial techniques are cultivated to the Great Aplishment Realm each semester, you don¡¯t have to participate in the monthly exams, right?¡±


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Zheng Zhipeng, upon hearing this,ughed and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re saying your Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword Technique have both reached the Great Aplishment Realm?¡±


    Cao Lu said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Indeed, as long as your Tiger King Fist, Four


    Seasons Sword Technique, and Sword Thirteen have all reached the Great Aplishment Realm, you don¡¯t need to attend the monthly exams this term.¡±


    No sooner had Cao Lu finished speaking than Yang Xiaotian sprang up into the air like a fierce tiger. Without even making a move, an astonishing tiger¡¯s might swept through Heaven and Earth, scaring Zheng Zhipeng into taking an rmed step back.


    Yang Xiaotian threw a punch from the air.


    Instantly, the tiger¡¯s roar filled the sky, and the roaring sound spread throughout the whole teaching building.


    The students in the other ssrooms of the teaching building were all taken aback.


    Cao Lu¡¯s expression changed. What is this?!


    The Tiger King Fist of the Great Aplishment Realm couldn¡¯t possibly have such might.


    Unless!


    A staggering tiger-shaped fist energy current formed, tearing through heavy waves of qi with its spinning force.


    When Yang Xiaotiannded, he switched from punching to wing, striking the ground so hard that it trembled uncontrobly.


    The whole teaching building shook incessantly.


    The sound of the tiger¡¯s roar was even more resounding through Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°This is the Tiger King Fist! Who is practicing the Tiger King Fist?! Such might, it must be the Perfection Realm!¡±


    Teachers and students from the other ssrooms in the teaching building exploded with disbelief.


    Xie Chu from the defeated first ss asked in astonishment, ¡°It seems to being from ss four. Could it be that Zheng Zhipeng has cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the Perfection Realm?!¡±


    ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go take a look!¡±


    The first-ss teachers and students surged out.


    Then, teachers and students from the other sses also flocked to ss four.


    Inside the ssroom, Yang Xiaotian kept moving, sweeping his leg around so forcefully that the trash can in the corner scattered wildly.


    When Xie Chu and the first-ss teachers and students rushed to ss four¡¯s ssroom, they saw Yang Xiaotian leap into the air and suddenly throw a punch towards the ssroom entrance.


    ¡°Tiger Roars the Heavens and Earth!¡±


    A massive tiger-shaped fist imprint hurtled towards Xie Chu and the others.


    Feeling the unstoppable power of the tiger-shaped fist imprint, Xie Chu and the others¡¯ faces changed dramatically.


    Just when they were about to retreat in shock, the tiger-shaped fist imprint that had been hurtling towards them suddenly veered, turning back and striking towards the corner of the ssroom.


    Bang!


    The just recently reced trash can in the ssroom was blown up again.


    When the trash cannded, everyone saw that a shocking fist hole had appeared in its center.


    However, the trash can didn¡¯t burst.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped.


    In the ssroom, the nine afterimages he left in mid-air gradually converged back onto Yang Xiaotian¡¯s true body.


    ¡°Nine-Nine Unity, Summit Mastery!¡± Zheng Zhipeng, Xie Chu, and others watched Yang Xiaotian, their faces filled with shock.


    Cao Lu was equally stunned.


    Summit Mastery!


    It¡¯s actually Summit Mastery!


    With the talent of the students of the Divine Sword Academy, it¡¯s not surprising for them to cultivate the Tiger King Fist to the Great


    Aplishment Realm, but cultivating it to the Perfection Realm is extremely rare.


    There may not even be one student in a session who can cultivate the Tiger King Fist to the Perfection Realm.


    As for the realm of Summit Mastery, in thest ten sessions, only one person had sessfully cultivated it.


    That was Lin Yong¡¯s direct disciple, Hu Xing!


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian, wielding a long sword, began to disy the Four Seasons Sword Technique.


    With one strike, the sword wind was as gentle as the spring breeze, and as it passed, everyone felt warm all over.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian struck again.


    The sword wind suddenly became unbearably hot, making everyone feel as though they were in the scorching summer.


    When Yang Xiaotian released the third strike.


    Suddenly, the sword wind turned autumnal, as if entering deep autumn.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was disying the Four Seasons Sword Technique, Lin Yong was in his courtyard giving pointers to Hu Xing on his swordsmanship practice.


    Hu Xing was practicing his sword fiercely when he suddenly heard amotion outside the courtyard. Puzzled, he went out to take a look and saw arge group of students rushing towards the lower grades¡¯ teaching building.


    He stopped one of them and asked what was happening.


    ¡°Today is the monthly test, and I heard that first-year Yang Xiaotian has cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the realm of Summit Mastery!¡±


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s heading over to watch now!¡±


    The student he stopped was excited beyond measure.


    Hu Xing and Lin Yong were dumbstruck, and Hu Xing stuttered, ¡°What did you say? Yang Xiaotian has cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the realm of Summit Mastery? Are you sure it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°I suppose so,¡± the student replied.


    ¡°Master, they must have heard wrong!¡± Hu Xing shook his head and said, ¡°It can¡¯t be Yang Xiaotian! And definitely not to the level of Summit Mastery!¡±


    He hadn¡¯t finished speaking when he saw Lin Yong already hurrying towards the first-year teaching building.


    Hu Xing quickly followed.


    He absolutely refused to believe that Yang Xiaotian could cultivate the Tiger King Fist to the Summit Mastery!


    When Hu Xing rushed to the teaching building, he saw Chen Yuan leading Cheng Beibei, with Yang Zhong arriving from another direction as well; clearly, they had also received the news.


    Upon hearing the news, Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong were exceptionally shocked. They were even more incredulous that Yang Xiaotian could have cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the realm of Summit Mastery.


    When Lin Yong, Hu Xing, Chen Yuan, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong arrived, they found ss Four¡¯s ssroompletely surrounded and imprable.


    Everyone was utterly silent.


    Seeing Lin Yong, Hu Xing, Chen Yuan, and the others arrive, the crowd quickly made way.


    The moment Lin Yong, Hu Xing, and Chen Yuan stepped into ss Four¡¯s ssroom, they felt an astonishing chill, as if entering a millennia-old ice cave.


    They looked in amazement and saw Yang Xiaotian holding his long sword, and as he swung it, snowkes began to fall from the ssroom¡¯s ceiling!


    ¡°Cold frost sprinkling!¡±


    This was thest move of the Four Seasons Sword Technique, and the strongest strike.


    ¡°Drawing upon the Qi of Heaven and Earth, Summit Mastery!¡± Chen Yuan¡¯s whole body trembled.


    The Four Seasons Sword Technique, when brought to the level of Summit Mastery, could draw upon the Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was precisely by invoking the Qi of Heaven and Earth that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword technique could cause snow to fall.


    Lin Yong was equally stunned as Chen Yuan. In ten years, only his disciple had cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the realm of Summit Mastery. However, in those years, no student had managed to cultivate the Four Seasons Sword Technique to Summit Mastery!


    To cultivate a martial skill to the realm of Summit Mastery meant to be the Son of Martial Dao!


    It signified a child born for the Martial Dao!


    To cultivate a martial skill to the Perfection Realm required extremely high Martial Dao Talent, but only a Son of Martial Dao could cultivate a martial skill to the realm of Summit Mastery!

 Chapter 40: Total Summit Mastery!

    Chapter 40: Total Summit Mastery!


    Trantor: 549690339


    Summit Mastery!


    It was truly Summit Mastery!


    And it was the Four Seasons Sword Technique.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian had even cultivated the Four Seasons Sword Technique to the Summit Mastery Realm.


    Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong were all staggered, their faces filled with disbelief.


    They simply couldn¡¯t ept that Yang Xiaotian, with a second-level Martial Soul, had cultivated the Four Seasons Sword Technique to Summit Mastery!


    Cao Lu stared at the falling specks of frost and snow, his eyes agape, murmuring to himself, ¡°Summit Mastery! Yet another Summit Mastery!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Tiger King Fist to Summit Mastery, which was already shocking to him.


    Now even the Four Seasons Sword Technique was at Summit Mastery, he was beyond expression of his feelings at this moment.


    Sword Thirteen cultivated to the Perfection Realm!


    Tiger King Fist cultivated to Summit Mastery!


    Four Seasons Sword Technique cultivated to Summit Mastery!


    In this year¡¯s first-year Martial Dao examination, wouldn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian be the first?


    Cao Lu¡¯s emotions wereplex and tumultuous.


    First ce in the Martial Dao examination, if taken by a student with a second-level Martial Soul, what a mockery it would be for all the genius students of the Divine Sword Academy!


    Just then, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian brandished his sword and struck out.


    ¡°Sword Rise Wind State!¡±


    The first move of Sword Thirteen.


    Previously, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s swordy was lively, at the Perfection Realm.


    But this time, everyone saw that when Yang Xiaotian¡¯s swordy actually split in two!


    ¡°The swordy can split in two?! ¡± A student eximed, puzzled, upon seeing this.


    But Cao Lu, Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, Hu Xing, and others changed their expressions upon witnessing this.


    Could this be?!


    As if confirming their thoughts, the sword winds split again.


    Into four!


    Then, it split once more.


    Into eight!


    Just when everyone thought it would keep dividing, suddenly, the sword wind that split into eight merged back together.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword flowed from one motion to the next.


    His form was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, now soaring, now like a swimming dragon.


    The students present were utterly mesmerized; they had never imagined such a basic sword technique as Sword Thirteen could be so splendid. Each of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strikes seemed to resonate with their very souls.


    Every strike was so impably executed!


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword winds whirled, the trash can his fist force had punctured was caught in the sword winds and constantly flung high into the air, where it danced ceaselessly.


    The more observant students noticed that the trajectory of the dancing trash can was exceedingly graceful.


    Even a beautifully dancing maiden¡¯s movements weren¡¯t as exquisite.


    ¡°Sword Sweeps the ins!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian executed a strike.


    In an instant, wherever the sword wind passed, sword waves emerged, t and smooth as mirrors.


    The dancing trash can came to an abrupt halt.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped his sword and stood firm.


    The trash can continued to fragment, eventually turning into countless pieces, like numerous petals fluttering in the air, lingering a long time without falling, as if held aloft by the sword winds, unable to touch the ground.


    ¡°The swordy, ever-changing, also at Summit Mastery!¡± Xie Chu, who had previously sparred with Yang Xiaotian using Sword Thirteen, watched the lingering sword winds in mid-air with utter astonishment.


    When they sparred, Yang Xiaotian had the Sword Thirteen at Perfection Realm, and now, it had reached Summit Mastery!


    How long had it been?


    At the scene, everyone was at a loss for words.


    No one spoke.


    They didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Tiger King Fist, Summit Mastery!


    Four Seasons Sword Technique, also Summit Mastery!


    Now even Sword Thirteen, Summit Mastery!


    All at Summit Mastery!


    To cultivate all thepulsory martial arts to the Summit Mastery Realm, it seemed like many years since anyone had done that.


    Thest time it happened was decades ago.


    As Cao Lu remained silent for a long time, Yang Xiaotian was about to speak but saw Lin Yong and Chen Yuan approaching him excitedly.


    They came up to Yang Xiaotian, unsure of what to say.


    ¡°Child, you.¡± Finally, it was Chen Yuan who asked excitedly, ¡°How did you cultivate these three martial arts techniques?¡±


    How did he cultivate them?


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    That was a tough question to answer.


    Because he had learned them all after looking through them just once.


    ¡°Um, do I still need toe for the monthly assessments?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, dodging the question.


    Chen Yuan and Lin Yong were taken aback.


    ¡°Absolutely, you totally can,¡± Chen Yuan nodded and grinned broadly.


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, then I¡¯ll head back,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, for he had borrowed the Cold Underworld Palm that morning and still needed to cultivate it.


    Amidst theplex looks of those around him, Yang Xiaotian left the scene.


    Hu Xing watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, his eyes brimming with unprecedented jealousy.


    He had always prided himself on having the best Martial Soul and Martial Dao Talent in the academy, but now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Dao Talent seemed even stronger!


    A second-level Martial Soul with such incredible Martial Dao Talent!


    Recalling that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was a second-level Giant Tortoise Martial Soul made Hu Xing feel a bit better.


    A low-level Martial Soul, doomed to never break through to Martial King, meant that no matter how demonic Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Dao Talent was, it was of no use.


    As Yang Xiaotian left the academy, Lu Zelin, who looked after the Book


    Pavilion, also heard the news that Yang Xiaotian had cultivated Tiger King Fist, Four Seasons Sword Technique, and Sword Thirteen to Summit Mastery. Upon hearing the news, Lu Zelin was stunned for a long while.


    Then he remembered that morning when he had asked Yang Xiaotian about his progress with the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.


    Yang Xiaotian had replied that he had reached the Great Aplishment Realm.


    ¡°It couldn¡¯t really be true, could it!¡± Lu Zelin suddenly felt a chill.


    Sometimeter, Hu Xing arrived at the Book Pavilion, and upon hearing Lu


    Zelin¡¯s thoughts, he shook his head and said, ¡°To cultivate the Gale Thunder


    Sword Technique, a top-tier Innate Swordsmanship to Great Aplishment? What¡¯s gotten into your head? Yang Xiaotian blurted something out and you actually took it seriously?¡±


    ¡°A post-Innate being, how could he possibly cultivate Innate Martial Arts! Let alone the Gale Thunder Sword Technique, a top-tier Innate Swordsmanship.¡±


    Lu Zelin suddenly said, ¡°What if Yang Xiaotian isn¡¯t an Acquired Realm practitioner?¡±


    Hu Xing was taken aback, then shook his head, ¡°You¡¯re not suggesting Yang Xiaotian is an Innate Realm practitioner, are you? An Innate at eight years old?¡±


    Lu Zelin too felt his earlier thought was absurd; Yang Xiaotian had only awakened his Martial Soul a few months ago, how could he possibly be an Innate Expert.


    Even a Supreme Martial Spirit could not have such a cultivation speed..

 Chapter 41: This Person is also in Divine Sword City

    Chapter 41: This Person is also in Divine Sword City


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s martial dao talent is monstrous, his Martial Soul is a Level 2 Giant Tortoise Martial Soul; by the end of the year, he definitely won¡¯t break through the seventh rank,¡± Hu Xing said. ¡°At that time, he can only leave the academy.¡±


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian had returned to his residence.


    However, when he arrived at the entrance of his residence, he encountered Lin Yuan, the Hall Master of the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall.


    From a distance, Lin Yuan saw Yang Xiaotian and greeted him, ¡°Young Master


    Yang.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian stopped, looking at Lin Yuan¡¯s demeanor, it seemed as if he hade specifically to find him.


    ¡°Hall Master Lin.¡± Yang Xiaotian sped his fists and politely said, ¡°Hall Master Lin, have youe to see me?¡±


    Lin Yuan nodded with a smile: ¡°I went to great lengths to find out Young


    Master Yang¡¯s residence and hope for your understanding.¡±


    As the Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to use the hall¡¯s resources to find out someone¡¯s residence in Divine Sword City.


    Yang Xiaotian was curious, not knowing what Lin Yuan sought him for.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this,¡± Lin Yuan took out an invitation from his bosom. ¡°Divine Sea


    Country is holding an Alchemist Competition, and I would like to invite Young Master Yang to participate.¡±


    With Divine Sea Country hosting the Alchemist Competition, and Lin Yuan, the Hall Master of the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall, personallying to deliver the invitation to Yang Xiaotian, it was estimated that in the entire Divine Sea Country, only Yang Xiaotian had this honor.


    Yang Xiaotian took the invitation: ¡°An Alchemist Competition?¡± Then he opened it, briefly scanning the contents.


    Inside the invitation, there were words personally written by Lin Yuan and at the bottom was his seal. The content was nothing more than stating that Divine Sea Country would hold an Alchemist Competition in three months and cordially invited Yang Xiaotian to attend.


    As for the venue, it would be in Divine Sword City.


    ¡°Please make sure to attend, Young Master Yang,¡± Lin Yuan said with sped hands and a smile.


    ¡°I will see when the timees, if I have time, I will go,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied.


    Three monthster would be the summer break, and Yang Xiaotian nned to return to Xingyue City, so he might not have the time.


    Lin Yuan gave a wry smile.


    For this kind of Alchemist Competition, other pharmacists didn¡¯t even have the opportunity to participate, but Yang Xiaotian, on the other hand, still needed to see if he had the time.


    However, Lin Yuan could not insist on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s participation.


    Yet when he left, he made sure to emphasize to Yang Xiaotian to make time to participate, mentioning that the rewards for this Alchemist Competition were astonishing.


    In addition to the rewards of elixirs, elixir recipes, cauldron furnaces, and spirit stones, the first ce winner would also be allowed to train in the medicinal pool for ten days.


    ¡°Train in the medicinal pool for ten days.¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself as he watched Lin Yuan¡¯s departing figure.


    He had heard of the medicinal pool.


    The Divine Sea Country Pharmacist Hall had a medicinal pool which was said to be a gathering of the essence of heaven and earth. Training in it, the benefits were definitely iparable even to consuming top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    After seeing Lin Yuan off, Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence to practice the Cold Underworld Palm.


    On the way, he flipped through the Cold Underworld Palm manual; he had already mastered its moves, key points, and variations.


    As his figure flickered, he channeled the internal energy ording to the Cold Underworld Palm method and struck out with a palm towards the space in front of him.


    Suddenly, the cold palm energy swept forward like a tornado.


    What¡¯s more, this tornado was ck in color.


    Cold to the bone.


    Even Luo Qing, who was practicing in the adjacent courtyard, felt the chill was astonishing.


    Poof!


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm passing by, the ground was covered with ayer of astonishing ck ice.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the ck ice on the ground with surprise and doubt.


    ording to the Cold Underworld Palm secret tome, the palm¡¯s cold ice is meant to be white, but why had his turned out to be ck ice?


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but think of his ck Tortoise Martial Soul.


    Could it be because of my ck Tortoise Martial Soul?


    The ck Tortoise is the divine beast of the north among the four divine beasts and controls the Extreme Ice Force.


    Is that why my Cold Underworld Palm encases ck ice when I wield it?


    However, with the Extreme Ice Force, the might of the Cold Underworld Palm has indeed increased greatly.


    After practicing until noon, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Cold Underworld Palm reached a reach of ten meters, entering the realm of Great Aplishment.


    Just like yesterday, he started making the Four Symbols Spirit Pills at noon.


    At this time, the news of the Divine Sea Country¡¯s Alchemistpetition had also spread.


    Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong were at Chen Zihan¡¯s residence when they heard the news. Cheng Beibei said to Chen Zihan with excitement, ¡°Sister, with the Divine Sea Country hosting the Alchemistpetition, you will surely im first ce. ¡±


    This Alchemistpetition aimed to nurture the younger generation of the Divine Sea Country¡¯s alchemists, hence the age restriction: only those below twenty-five could participate.


    And among the young generation, Chen Zihan¡¯s level of alchemy remained unparalleled.


    Previously, Qiu Haiqiu was able topete with Chen Zihan, but more than a month ago he was killed by a mysterious person in Xingyue City. Now, no one in the younger generation of the Divine Sea Country could match Chen Zihan.


    Chen Zihan smiled and said, ¡°Wait until Sister wins the championship of this


    Alchemistpetition, then we will celebrate together.¡±


    As the two were chatting enthusiastically, Lin Yuan entered.


    ¡°Master,¡± greeted Chen Zihan as she approached.


    ¡°Senior Lin,¡± Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong promptly came forward to pay their respects.


    Although Cheng Beibei was the Princess of the Divine Sea Country and was ustomed to being spoiled, she did not dare to act spoiled in front of Lin


    Yuan.


    ¡°What are you chatting about so happily?¡± Lin Yuan asked with a smile.


    Cheng Beibei replied with augh, ¡°We were discussing the uing Alchemistpetition. With Sister Chen¡¯s level of alchemy, she is bound to win first ce this time.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Yuan nced at his disciple Chen Zihan and smiled, ¡°That might not necessarily be the case.¡±


    Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei, and the others were surprised.


    Chen Zihan had assumed her master would also believe she could win first ce.


    Reconsidering the young alchemists of the Divine Sea Country, Chen Zihan spected, ¡°Master, do you mean Deng Yichun could win first ce?¡±


    Deng Yichun was a direct disciple of one of the four great alchemists of the Divine Sea Country, Wu Qi.


    Lin Yuan, however, shook his head, ¡°Not him.¡±


    Not him?


    Chen Zihan, puzzled, asked, ¡°Do you mean Huang Tingting, Master?¡±


    Lin Yuan still shook his head.


    This deepened Chen Zihan¡¯s confusion.


    If not Deng Yichun and not Huang Tingting, who else from the young generation of the Divine Sea Country could win first ce in the Alchemistpetition?


    ¡°This person is also in Divine Sword City,¡± said Lin Yuan. ¡°But the question is whether this young chap will participate. If he does, he should be able to take first ce. ¡±


    ¡°This person is in Divine Sword City!¡± Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong eximed in shock.


    Was there really a hidden alchemy master in Divine Sword City?


    ¡°Actually, you should know this kid,¡± Lin Yuan said to Cheng Beibei with a smile. ¡°He¡¯s from your Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    Cheng Beibei¡¯s mind shed, and she said, ¡°Do you mean Senior Hu Xing,


    Senior Lin?¡±


    But immediately, she thought that wasn¡¯t right. Although Senior Hu Xing had good Martial Soul talent and Martial Dao talent, his alchemy talent fell somewhat shortpared to Chen Zihan.


    Lin Yuanughed and shook his head, ¡°Not him,¡± then added, ¡°You¡¯ll know when thed participates.¡±


    As for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s matters, it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate for Lin Yuan to reveal them to Cheng Beibei and the others..

    Chapter 42: New Student Exchange


    Trantor: 549690339


    Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong, seeing that Lin Yuan continually refused to reveal the identity of the mysterious alchemist, became even more curious.


    Since Lin Yuan was convinced that the person should be able to win first ce in the Pharmacistpetition, they must not be a nobody.


    However, Chen Zihan and Cheng Beibei just couldn¡¯t think of anyone in Divine Sword City whose alchemy skills surpassed Chen Zihan¡¯s.


    Not to mention surpassing Chen Zihan, there was no one in Divine Sword City on par with her.


    The skies gradually darkened.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the two Four Symbols Spirit Pills he had just refined and shook his head.


    In the end, it was a near sess; the two Four Symbols Spirit Pills were still of peak quality but had not reached the supreme grade.


    Previously, he had thought that after sessfully refining the supreme grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir, he should also be able to refine the supreme grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill. Now he realized his former thoughts were a big mistake.


    Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian was not disheartened.


    He was now close to supreme grade, and refining it was only a matter of time.


    Afterward, he sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian got up early and went to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to exchange for another Innate Martial Arts technique, the Dragon Blood Fist Manual.


    The Dragon Blood Fist was exceedingly difficult to cultivate.


    It was one of the hardest to learn among the Innate Top Martial Techniques.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian exchange for the Dragon Blood Fist Manual, Lu Zelin this time didn¡¯t say anything, but his gaze was very strange.


    Ever since yesterday, when Yang Xiaotian disyed his Summit Mastery in the Tiger King Fist, Four Seasons Sword Technique, and Sword Thirteen, Lu Zelin always felt odd when he saw Yang Xiaotian again.


    After exchanging for the Dragon Blood Fist Manual, Yang Xiaotian left the Book Pavilion and happened upon Chen Yuan.


    Chen Yuan seemed to know that he wasing to exchange a secret tome and had specificallye to wait for him.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotiane out, Chen Yuan approached with a smile and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I heard youe here every day to exchange for martial arts secret tomes, so I came to have a look.¡±


    He nced at the Dragon Blood Fist in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°May I know which martial art you¡¯ve exchanged for this time?


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hide it and handed over the Dragon Blood Fist Manual to


    Chen Yuan.


    Upon receipt and seeing that it was the Dragon Blood Fist, one of the hardest Innate Top Martial Techniques to learn, Chen Yuan frowned and earnestly said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, do you know that the Dragon Blood Fist is the hardest of the Innate Top Martial Techniques to cultivate?¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    ¡°You know and yet you still want to practice it?¡± Chen Yuan said in annoyance,


    ¡°Acquired martial artists simply can¡¯t sessfully cultivate Innate Martial Arts.


    If you keep cultivating like this, you¡¯ll surely suffer cultivation deviation!¡±


    He just couldn¡¯t bear to see a martial arts prodigy stray from the right path.


    Principal Lin Yong had also asked him toe and have a serious talk with Yang Xiaotian yesterday.


    Seeing Chen Yuan¡¯s earnestness, Yang Xiaotian Imew he meant well and wasn¡¯t angry, smiling he said, ¡°I understand, if I find something amiss during cultivation, I¡¯ll stop.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Vice Principal Chen.¡±


    At these words, Chen Yuan¡¯s expression softened slightly, and he said, ¡°What you need to do now is to focus on cultivating your technique and strive to elevate your realm.¡±


    ¡°If you work hard, you might have a chance to break through to the seventh tier within a year.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°I will practice diligently and try to break through to the seventh tier within a year.¡± Then he added, ¡°If Vice Principal Chen has nothing else, I will be going back.¡±


    Then, taking back the Dragon Blood Fist, he left under Chen Yuan¡¯s gaze. Chen Yuan watched Yang Xiaotian walk away, shaking his head and sighing heavily.


    After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian began to practice the Dragon Blood Fist.


    Although the Dragon Blood Fist was one of the most difficult Innate Top Martial Techniques to master, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended all its variations after just one read-through.


    In the days that followed, Yang Xiaotian practiced an Innate Top Martial Technique every morning, refined Four Symbols Spirit Pills in the afternoon, and cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art at night.


    In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.


    That afternoon.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the crystal-clear, impurity-free, enchanting Four Symbols Spirit Pill in front of him with surprise and delight.


    After ten days of effort, he had finally refined a top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Yang Xiaotian cradled the top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill in his palm, barely containing his excitement. With this pill, his strength would be able to increase rapidly.


    He sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, eagerly swallowing the top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Immediately, he felt the surging power of the elixir that he had missed for so long.


    The next day, after Yang Xiaotian hadpletely assimted the power of the top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he barely made a breakthrough to thete peak of the Innate Quadruple Level!


    Seeing himself break through to thete peak of the Innate Quadruple Level, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    The top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill was indeed extraordinary.


    Otherwise, with normal cultivation, he would have had to endure a month of arduous practice.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t go to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to exchange for secret tomes but continued to refine top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    After several hours of tireless effort, he finally refined three more top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Yang Xiaotian called Luo Qing, Ate, and Ali over.


    As soon as Luo Qing entered Yang Xiaotian¡¯s yard, he smelled the enchanting fragrance of the pills.


    ¡°These are top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills!¡± Luo Qing saw the elixirs in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, trembled all over, and blurted out.


    As a sect master, he was familiar with elixirs, so he recognized the pills in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand at a nce.


    Exactly because he recognized them, he was shocked.


    Even in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, there were not many alchemists who could refine top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills, let alone in the Divine Sea Country, where surely only the four great alchemists might be able to refine top-quality Innate Spirit Pills.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian had refined them.


    He knew that Yang Xiaotian had been alchemizing every afternoon recently, but he had not expected Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy level to be so high.


    Though Ate and Ali were not well versed in elixirs, they had heard of the Four


    Therefore, they were no less astonished than Luo Qing.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled at the three of them and said, ¡°Correct, these are top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills. Take them and use them for your cultivation.¡± After speaking, he handed out the three top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills to the three of them each.


    The three of them froze.


    ¡°Master, you¡¯re giving these to us for our cultivation?¡± Ate couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand dismissively: ¡°I took onest night; you guys go ahead and take them. If I need more, I¡¯ll just refine them again.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian speak so casually, Luo Qing and the others were at a loss for words for a moment.


    You should know that one top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill was worth at least twenty thousand gold.


    And that was at the very least.


    ¡°Thank you, Young Master.¡± Luo Qing took a deep breath and thanked Yang Xiaotian.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian in front of him, he felt increasingly fortunate to have met him.


    Afterward, Luo Qing and the others took the pills and each went back to their yards to consume them and cultivate.


    At this time, the sun was setting.


    Yang Xiaotian took the Dragon Blood Fist Manual back to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to exchange for secret tomes.


    However, once he arrived at the Divine Sword Academy, Yang Xiaotian heard many students discussing the event where the freshmen from the Divine Sea Academy woulde to the Divine Sword Academy the next day for friendly contests and exchanges.


    The Divine Sea Academy was one of the four major academies of the Divine Sea Country and second only to the Divine Sword Academy, generally enrolling the children of royal and noble families.


    Monarchs of the Divine Sea Country throughout history had all graduated from the Divine Sea Academy.


    It was an annual tradition for the freshmen of the Divine Sea Academy and the Divine Sword Academy to engage in friendly contests.


    ¡°Tomorrow, huh.¡± Yang Xiaotian was puzzled. In past years, the freshmen contests between the Divine Sea Academy and the Divine Sword Academy were usually mid-term. He wondered why the Divine Sea Academy hade so early this year..

 Chapter 43 - 43 Teaching Yang Xiaotian a Lesson

    Chapter 43: Teaching Yang Xiaotian a Lesson


    Trantor: 549690339


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian heard some students ahead discussing, ¡°I heard that the Divine Sea Academy has recruited an astonishingly talented monster this time. His name is Su Li, and his Martial Soul is a Supreme Martial Spirit!¡± ¡°What, a Supreme Martial Spirit!¡± another student eximed in shock.


    ¡°Indeed, it is the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul! Not only that, but his Martial Dao Talent is also exceptionally amazing, having cultivated all three of the mandatory first-year Martial Techniques of the Divine Sea Academy to the Summit Mastery level!¡±


    ¡°Summit Mastery! A son of the Martial Dao?! Isn¡¯t that like Yang Xiaotian, a son of the Martial Dao?!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s Yang Xiaotianpared to him? A mere second -level Martial Soul, how can hepare with someone like that.¡±


    ¡°With such a prodigy in the Divine Sea Academy, our Divine Sword Academy is likely to be miserably defeated in this freshman exchange.¡±


    As the group of students talked, they shook their heads.


    Watching the figures of several people leaving, Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself, ¡°Titan Giant Ape? A son of the Martial Dao?¡±


    He knew the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, it was only an eleventh-levelmon Martial Soul, just barely stepping into the realm of a Supreme Martial Spirit.


    However, although it was just stepping into the realm of a Supreme Martial Soul, it was not something that a tenth-level top-tier Martial Soul couldpare with.


    Yang Xiaotian continued towards the Book Pavilion.


    Upon arriving at the Book Pavilion, he saw not only Hu Xing but also Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others.


    ¡°In this Pharmacist Competition, Brother Hu Xing will definitely achieve a good ranking,¡± Cheng Beibei said to Hu Xing.


    Hu Xing waved his hand modestly, ¡°There are many experts in the Pharmacist


    Competition, whether I can enter the top ten is still an unknown.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart moved. Was Hu Xing also participating in this Pharmacist Competition?


    At this moment, Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others also noticed Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, seeing how curious you look, don¡¯t tell me you also want to join the Pharmacist Competition?¡± Cheng Beibei said with a smile, ¡°However, you would need to have the qualifications to participate.¡±


    ¡°How do you know I¡¯m not qualified?¡± Yang Xiaotian retorted, ¡°Are you qualified?¡±


    Cheng Beibei¡¯s face immediately turned red.


    Although her Martial Soul talent was excellent, her Pharmacist talent was mediocre. After several years of hard study, she now barely qualified as a Pharmacist apprentice.


    Indeed, she did not have the qualifications to participate in the Pharmacist Competition.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored the infuriated Cheng Beibei and went to the second floor of the Book Pavilion to exchange for a Secret Tome.


    Cheng Beibei called out to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Don¡¯t be so proud, Yang Xiaotian.


    You¡¯ve just cultivated three Acquired Martial Techniques to the Summit Mastery level. What¡¯s so great about that? Su Li is a million times stronger than you!¡±


    ¡°Su Li is my cousin¡¯s son.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll have him teach you a good lesson!¡±


    But Yang Xiaotian headed to the second floor without looking back.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian did not care at all, Cheng Beibei was even more frustrated.


    Hu Xing said, ¡°He¡¯s just a second-level Martial Soul, no need to fuss over him.¡±


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian had exchanged for an Innate Top Martial Technique and returned to his manor to continue training untilte into the night. He brought the Innate Top Martial Technique to a Great Aplishment and then began practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    If people werepared to trees, Cultivation Techniques and Martial Souls were the roots while Martial Techniques were merely the branches and leaves. Thus, no matter how busy he was, Yang Xiaotian persisted in practicing the Primordial Dragon Art every day.


    Only when dawn broke did Yang Xiaotian stop practicing the Primordial Dragon Art to begin Alchemy.


    The Superior Four Symbols Spirit Pill he was concocting was for the Golden Armored Beast.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian sessfully concocted the Superior Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    As his cultivation improved, his soul sensing ability also grew stronger, and therefore, the time it took to concoct the Superior Four Symbols Spirit Pill grew shorter.


    Yang Xiaotian went to the Golden Armored Beast¡¯s courtyard, where the beast was practicing a set of boxing techniques that Yang Xiaotian had taught it. It had learned well, already possessing considerable power.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotianing over, the beast stopped, approached him, and suddenly spoke, ¡°Master, master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned, then said with joy, ¡°Xiao Jin, you can talk now?¡±


    Xiao Jin had been practicing the Heavenly Beast Art for over a month, and other than its scales bing brighter and more golden, there had been no other changes. Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected Xiao Jin could suddenly speak today.


    Although the pronunciation was not clear, Yang Xiaotian could still clearly hear it calling him master.


    The Golden Armored Beast happily cried out, ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, happy for Xiao Jin. Now that Xiao Jin could speak, theirmunication would be much more convenient, and Xiao Jin wouldn¡¯t have to alwaysmunicate by gesturing with its hands.


    Yang Xiaotian then let Xiao Jin consume and cultivate with the Superior Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Afterward, without disturbing Xiao Jin¡¯s training, he left the manor with the Secret Tome and went back to the Book Pavilion to exchange for another.


    At this time, the teachers and students from Divine Sea Academy who were participating in the freshman exchange had also arrived at the gates of the Divine Sword Academy.


    Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and others had already been waiting for some time and ushered Su Li and his group into the Divine Sword Academy.


    Upon seeing Su Li, Cheng Beibei clenched her teeth and said, ¡°You must give Yang Xiaotian a good lessonter.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian?¡± Su Li was puzzled.


    Cheng Beibei exined, ¡°He is a new student of our Divine Sword Academy and, like you, has cultivated the three mandatory first-year Acquired Martial Techniques to the Summit Mastery level.¡±


    Su Li then remembered, beforeing, he had also heard about a new student at the Divine Sword Academy who had brought the mandatory first-year Acquired Martial Techniques to the Summit Mastery level.


    However, this person had a second-level Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.


    Seeing Cheng Beibei¡¯s expression, Su Li asked with a smile, ¡°Did he offend my cousin?¡±


    Cheng Beibei said irately, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, after reaching Summit Mastery with the three Acquired Martial Techniques, has be arrogant. I just can¡¯t stand his swagger.¡±


    In fact, she had been looking down on Yang Xiaotian ever since they left Yang Family Manor.


    Su Liughed, ¡°Alright, if I see himter, I¡¯ll teach him a lesson for my cousin.¡±


    Su Li and his group made their way to the Martial Arts Arena.


    By that time, the freshers of the Divine Sword Academy were already at the arena.


    However, after looking around, Cheng Beibei couldn¡¯t find Yang Xiaotian.


    She guessed that Yang Xiaotian might be at the Book Pavilion, so she sent Cao Lu to call for him.


    Cao Lu had no choice but to head to the Book Pavilion to find Yang Xiaotian, only to learn upon arrival that Yang Xiaotian had just exchanged a Secret Tome and had already left.


    Cao Lu had no choice but to return to the Martial Arts Arena.


    ¡°Not here?¡± Cheng Beibei said heatedly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian must be hiding.¡±


    Su Li chuckled, ¡°Then next time I encounter him, I¡¯ll teach him a lesson for my cousin. ¡±


    Cheng Beibei nodded, there was nothing else to be done..

    Chapter 44: Can You Take My Three Swords?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Afterward came the exchange among the new students.


    Su Li stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the new students of the Divine Sword Academy, and said slowly, ¡°Who will go first? Whoever can withstand three of my moves will be considered the winner against me.¡±


    After exchanging the secret tome, Yang Xiaotian left the Book Pavilion and passed by Hundred Swords za in the academy, where he stopped.


    These days, he had not yet attempted toprehend any of the hundred stone swords in the za.


    Today, on a whim, he wanted to try andprehend them.


    He remembered that when he first entered the academy and passed by Hundred Swords za, Cheng Beibei had said that if he couldprehend any one of the stone swords, it would mean fortune had truly smiled upon his ancestors.


    ¡°Fortune for my ancestors, huh,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself before approaching the first colossal stone sword.


    Each giant stone sword contained a set of profound and enigmatic swordsmanship, but there were no sword techniques on the surface of the stone swords. One had to personallyprehend the Sword Qi within them.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in front of the stone sword, earnestly sensing the Sword Qi contained within it.


    In his eyes, everything around him gradually faded.


    Only the immense stone sword before him remained in his vision.


    Yang Xiaotian felt as though he had entered a vast world of Sword Qi.


    In the world of Sword Qi, countless strands twisted and turned in every conceivable pattern.


    Each strand of Sword Qi soared unfettered.


    Yang Xiaotian contemted the trajectories of these dancing Sword Qi.


    Sometimeter, these strands of Sword Qi transformed into sword -wielding figures in his eyes.


    Each figure was performing sword techniques.


    As sword-wielding figures executed their techniques in session, the giant stone sword actually began to emanate a light of Sword Qi, growing ever brighter.


    At this moment, Su Li, with his sweeping momentum, had defeated the new


    students of the Divine Sword Academy.


    None of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s new students could withstand his three moves, as almost all of them were defeated in a single stroke.


    Su Li looked at the new students of the Divine Sword Academy, feeling deeply disappointed in his heart.


    He had hoped that on this visit to the Divine Sword Academy, some new students would withstand his three moves.


    But not a single one had!


    Just as Su Li was engulfed in disappointment, suddenly, an astonishing Sword Qi burst skyward from a certain location within the Divine Sword Academy.


    The astonishing Sword Qi caught everyone¡¯s attention.


    And from the same location, another burst of astonishing Sword Qi shot into the sky.


    This Sword Qi was even more formidable than the previous one.


    ¡°It¡¯s Hundred Swords za! ¡±


    ¡°Someone has fullyprehended a stone sword!¡± Cao Lu eximed.


    Comprehending a stone sword was difficult. Sometimes, three years might pass without anyone achieving fullprehension.


    Once someone did fullyprehend a stone sword, it was a significant event for the Divine Sword Academy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, to Hundred Swords za!¡± Hu Xing said excitedly, striding quickly towards the za.


    He hadprehended a stone swordst time.


    He never expected that now someone else hadprehended one as well.


    He was eager to see who had achieved it.


    Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, Cao Lu, and others also swarmed towards Hundred Swords za.


    Seeing this, Su Li also joined the teachers and students from the Divine Sea Academy in heading to Hundred Swords za.


    Hundred Swords za was one of the legacies of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Dao, which Su Li was aware of. He also knew that if someone had fullyprehended a stone sword, it was an extremely remarkable matter.


    ¡°I wonder which student it could be?¡± Su Li couldn¡¯t help but feel curious.


    To fullyprehend any of the stone swords at Hundred Swords za was to witness a Sword Dao genius that appeared once in a hundred years.


    As Su Li, Hu Xing, Cao Lu, Cheng Beibei, and the others made their way to Hundred Swords za, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also saw the Sword Qi. Filled with surprise and delight, they too quickly headed toward Hundred Swords


    za.


    At that moment, another astonishing sword qi soared into the sky.


    One after another, the sword qi came in quick session, dazzling to behold.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were greatly taken aback.


    Sword techniques were contained within the Stone Sword, but only byprehending the techniques to the Minor Achievement Realm could so much sword qi manifest.


    Although Divine Sword Academy had been established for hundreds of years and many students had been able toprehend the Stone Sword, none had ever directly reached the Minor Achievement Realm upon their first attempt.


    Hu Xing, Cao Lu, Cheng Beibei, and others were equally astounded by the sight of so much incredible sword qi.


    Everyone quickened their pace.


    Soon, they arrived at Hundred Swords za.


    They saw the figure standing before the Stone Sword at Hundred Swords za.


    Hu Xing, Cao Lu, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, Xie Chu, Chen Bingyao, and others, upon seeing that figure, were as shocked as if struck by lightning.


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Both Hu Xing and Cheng Beibei had exceedingly gloomy expressions.


    Su Li, seeing the reactions of Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and the rest, couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡®Who is he?¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian.¡± Cheng Beibei almost spat out each word through clenched teeth.


    Hu Xing, staring at Yang Xiaotian standing in front of the Stone Sword, felt an uncontroble surge of jealousy.


    Never had a student been able to enter the Minor Achievement Realm directly throughprehending the Stone Sword.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian had done just that!


    And it just had to be Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Su Li was taken aback upon hearing it was Yang Xiaotian; he truly hadn¡¯t expected the student who wasprehending the Stone Sword to be none other than Yang Xiaotian, a freshman from Divine Sword Academy.


    Su Li looked at Yang Xiaotian, who was fully immersed in the world of sword qi from the Stone Sword, and felt a stir in his heart as he walked toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Cao Lu, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward to stop Su Li, barking sharply,


    ¡°Su Li, what do you think you¡¯re doing!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was at that moment deeply engrossed in the world of the Stone Sword¡¯s sword qi, and thest thing he needed was to be interrupted.


    An interruption would make it difficult toprehend the Stone Sword again.


    Furthermore, if it was serious, he could even suffer bacsh from the sword qi.


    Although Cao Lu didn¡¯t look favorably upon Yang Xiaotian, this was a separate matter.


    He would not allow anyone to interrupt now that Divine Sword Academy had produced such a sword dao genius.


    Su Li, faced with Cao Lu blocking his way, smiled harmlessly and said, ¡°Teacher Cao, don¡¯t be nervous. I mean no harm. We¡¯re here for an exchange with the freshmen, and since Yang Xiaotian is a freshman, I merely wish to spar with him a little, which isn¡¯t too much to ask for, right?¡±


    As he said this, Su Li suddenlyunched an attack towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I am Su Li from Divine Sea Academy. Your sword dao talent is so strong; I wonder if you can withstand three strikes from me!¡±


    Cao Lu hadn¡¯t expected Su Li to suddenly make a move and his expression shifted; he rapidly struck out with his palm, trying to break up Su Li¡¯s sword qi, but he was still a step too slow. Some of Su Li¡¯s sword qi still managed to attack Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Su Li¡¯s sword qi was about to hit Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, sword qi burst forth from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, blocking Su Li¡¯s attack.


    However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯sprehension was nheless interrupted.


    Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, looking coldly towards Su Li.


    Seeing he had sessfully interrupted Yang Xiaotian, Su Li felt a secret joy and leaped up,unching another sword attack at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The second strike!¡±


    The sword qi surged violently.


    Su Li¡¯s sword qi was dazzling beyondpare.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Jinghong Sword Technique!¡±


    The Jinghong Sword Technique was the strongest mandatory martial skill of the first year at Divine Sea Academy.


    And Su Li had cultivated it to the brink of Summit Mastery, which spoke volumes of its power.


    Watching the iing strike, Yang Xiaotian suddenly kicked out directly.


    Su Li couldn¡¯t even see how Yang Xiaotian had kicked; by the time he reacted, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s foot had already heavilynded on his stomach.


    Wham!


    Su Li shot back like a catapulted shrimp.


    He crashed outside of Hundred Swords za, blood spurting continuously from his mouth.


    Yang Xiaotian retracted his foot, eyes cold..

 Chapter 45: Acquired Ultimate

    Chapter 45: Acquired Ultimate


    Swordsmanship? That¡¯s it?


    Trantor: 549690339


    The Supreme Martial Spirit was kicked away by Yang Xiaotian!


    Seeing Su Li, the bearer of the Supreme Martial Spirit, kicked flying backward like a shrimp by Yang Xiaotian, Cao Lu and the others were dumbfounded.


    Including Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong.


    How strong Su Li was, everyone had witnessed; just now, in the freshmanpetition, he single-handedly swept through all the new students from Divine Sword Academy.


    Yet, Su Li, who had swept through all the new students of Divine Sword Academy, was kicked flying by Yang Xiaotian!


    That was exactly why everyone was so tremendously shocked.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also happened to arrive and saw from afar the scene of Su Li being kicked flying by Yang Xiaotian.


    They were equally shocked.


    Struggling to his feet, Su Li looked at Yang Xiaotian with a mixture of shock and rage, feeling a strong sense of humiliation surging from the depths of his heart.


    He, the genius with the Supreme Martial Spirit, was actually kicked away by a second-level Martial Soul freshman from Divine Sword Academy!


    And in front of teachers and students from both Divine Sword Academy and Divine Sea Academy.


    What immense humiliation that was.


    Slowly standing up, Su Li red at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re seeking death!¡±


    His body surged with light, and a giant shadow appeared behind him, which was his Supreme Martial Spirit, the Titan Giant Ape.


    Seeing the nearly ten-meter-tall, immensely huge Titan Giant Ape behind Su Li, everyone felt their hearts clench.


    A formidable pressure swept out from the Titan Giant Ape.


    Many had never seen a Supreme Martial Spirit before, and upon witnessing such an imposing Titan Giant Ape, they were all astounded.


    At that moment, the light radiating from Su Li¡¯s body grew even hotter.


    His body began to show the fur-like skin of the Titan Giant Ape.


    From a distance, he looked like a miniaturized version of the Titan Giant Ape.


    A powerful force burst forth from Su Li.


    He leaped forward andnded in front of Yang Xiaotian. As he touched the ground, there was a thunderous roar, and where his feetnded, deep craters were formed.


    After the transformation with his Martial Spirit, Su Li¡¯s speed, strength, and defense all received astonishing boosts.


    The stronger the Martial Spirit, the more substantial the enhancement from transforming with it.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take another one of my sword strikes!¡± Su Li arrived in front of Yang Xiaotian and thrust his long sword forward. The de¡¯s light burst forth violently, creating numerous ovepping shadows, giving an unpredictable impression. Moreover, the brilliance of the sword was disorienting.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Phantom God Sword Technique!¡± a student eximed.


    Phantom God Sword Technique was one of the top Acquired level martial arts of Divine Sea Academy.


    It was also one of the most difficult to master among the top Acquired level martial arts.


    No one from Divine Sword Academy had expected Su Li to have sessfully mastered a swordsmanship technique like the Phantom God Sword Technique, and judging by its power, he definitely reached the Great Aplishment Realm.


    ¡°Be careful!¡± From afar, Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others couldn¡¯t help but anxiously warn.


    Just as Su Li¡¯s Phantom God Sword Technique was about to strike Yang Xiaotian in the chest, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian swung his long sword.


    Instantly, numerous sword shadows glittered in the air.


    The sword shadows even reached tenfold!


    And Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure momentarily vanished.


    Su Li had thought that his strike would definitely hit Yang Xiaotian, but upon seeing the heavy sword shadows bursting toward him and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure disappearing, he suddenly thought of a certain swordsmanship technique and his expression changed.


    He wanted to retreat quickly, but Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword shadows were too fast; there was no time for him to pull back.


    Almost at the same instant, all ten of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword shadows hit him.


    Su Li¡¯s Phantom God Sword shadows were as if they didn¡¯t exist.


    And just like before, Su Li was sent flying backward again, this time even faster and more violently, crashing into the ground.


    Once again, Su Li spat out blood.


    The scene fell deathly silent.


    ¡°Phantom Sword Technique, at the peak of the Perfection Realm!¡± Cao Lu looked at Yang Xiaotian in shock.


    Phantom Sword Technique, with its mastery at the peak of the Perfection Realm, isparable to Innate Martial Arts.


    And the difficulty of mastering it is even greater than the Phantom God Sword Technique.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian not only mastered it but also reached the pinnacle of the Perfection Realm!


    ¡°The pinnacle of the Perfection Realm¡¯s Phantom Sword Technique.¡± Cheng Beibei looked at Su Li, who had been sent flying once again, her face in shock.


    Yang Zhong stared at Yang Xiaotian, unable to believe.


    Was this really the Yang Xiaotian from the Yang Family Manor?


    First the Tiger King Fist, the Four Seasons Sword Technique, and Sword


    Thirteen mastered to the Summit Mastery, and just now he had grasped the Stone Sword; now it¡¯s the Phantom Sword Technique at the pinnacle of the Perfection Realm!


    He found it hard to believe.


    And impossible to ept.


    Yang Xiaotian looked coldly at Su Li: ¡°What other sword techniques can you perform? However, don¡¯t embarrass yourself with that mediocre Phantom God


    Sword Technique like before.¡±


    Su Li spat out another mouthful of blood.


    The Phantom God Sword Technique was one of the sword techniques he took pride in, and having mastered it to a Great Aplishment, he had never revealed it before others. But now, in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mouth, it was deemed mediocre!


    Su Li struggled to his feet once again, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Very well, Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve pushed me to this point. Now, I will show you what the supreme Acquired sword technique is!¡± As he spoke, he slowly raised ms long swora.


    When he raised his sword, everyone got the illusion that Su Li seemed to be lifting a Sword Mountain.


    Yes, a Sword Mountain.


    An incredibly heavy Sword Mountain.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Sword Mountain Decree!¡±


    ¡°The Sword Mountain Decree, lost for a hundred years, Su Li learned the Sword Mountain Decree!¡±


    Many of the sword experts present recognized that the technique Su Li was about to use was the lost Sword Mountain Decree.


    The Sword Mountain Decree was the unique skill of a Sword Dao heritage from over a hundred years ago, which astonished the Divine Sea Country and the surrounding nations with its mastery.


    This Sword Mountain Decree isn¡¯t an Acquired unique skill, but Acquired realms can also practice the first two sword techniques.


    Back then, a disciple of that Sword Dao heritage in the Acquired realm only mastered the first two techniques of the Sword Mountain Decree and was able to sweep across his own realm, undeniably invincible in that realm.


    ¡°Correct, the Sword Mountain Decree!¡± Su Li, with his sword held high, suddenly shed it down towards Yang Xiaotian while shouting, ¡°Sword sh Taiji!¡±


    As he shed with his sword,


    Instantly, a mountain-like sword light tore through the sky, striking right above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head in an instant.


    In that moment, everyone felt the terrifying power contained within that mountainous sword light.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian remainedposed, lifting his sword, he swung it out.


    Immediately, a wave of sword energy appeared.


    Then, another sword wave emerged.


    Afterward, a third, a fourth, a fifth.


    The sword waves seemed endless.


    At the same time, the sound of surging tides, incredibly real, seemed to be heard in everyone¡¯s ears.


    Bang!


    The power of a boundless sea collided with the Sword Mountain.


    In people¡¯s initial impression, the sea could not shake the mountain, but at this moment, under the relentless assault of the endless sword waves, the mountainous sword light was being forced back, growing weaker, and finally dissipated into nothing.


    The sword waves still roared forward.


    Su Li was engulfed by the sword waves.


    Everyone saw Su Li being thrown out like a withered leaf.


    Only after the sword waves subsided did Su Li crash to the ground at the end.


    ¡°The supreme Acquired sword technique?¡± Yang Xiaotian, looking at Su Li, who had crashed at the edge of his vision, said coldly, ¡°Is that all?¡±

 Chapter 46: Heaven Blesses the Divine Sword Academy

    Chapter 46: Heaven Blesses the Divine Sword Academy


    Trantor: 549690339


    Acquired Supreme Swordsmanship Technique? Is that all?


    Looking at Su Li, who had fallen at the edge of their sight, the onlookers were shaken for a long time.


    Even the Sword Mountain Decree had been defeated!


    In the past, the Sword Mountain Decree had nearly swept through the surrounding nations, but now, it had failed!


    It failed at the hands of this man, Yang Xiaotian.


    Moreover, Su Li, who exhibited the Sword Mountain Decree, possessed the rare talent of a Supreme Martial Spirit.


    Su Li looked at Yang Xiaotian with a mix of shock and anger, before finally fainting.


    Before losing consciousness, he just couldn¡¯t understand how he could have been defeated by Yang Xiaotian.


    The Divine Sword Academy didn¡¯t they say this kid was a Level Two Martial Soul? Yet he was defeated by a Level Two Martial Soul.


    And the defeat was so absolute.


    In front of Yang Xiaotian, he was so easily defeated!


    Watching Su Li pass out, the crowd finally snapped out of their daze. The teachers and students of the Divine Sea Academy were in a flurry, trying to administer aid.


    Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian, who stood in front of the Stone Sword without taking a single step back, their hearts struck by towering waves.


    They were astounded by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s terrifying swordsmanship.


    And they were shocked by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s horrifying Sword Dao Talent.


    At that moment, they even began to doubt, who exactly was the genius, and who was the mediocrity!


    In the past, a Level Two Martial Soul was considered trash in everyone¡¯s eyes.


    But if a Level Two Martial Soul was trash, then what was Su Li?


    If Su Li couldn¡¯t even catch a single strike from Yang Xiaotian, wasn¡¯t he even more trash?


    The crowd also thought of Chen Bingyao and Xie Chu, who had been defeated by Yang Xiaotian earlier.


    Previously, the crowd hadn¡¯t taken it to heart.


    But now that even Su Li had been defeated by Yang Xiaotian, when people looked at Yang Xiaotian again, there was a strange feeling.


    Chen Bingyao and Xie Chu, watching Yang Xiaotian who had been calm from the beginning to the end after defeating Su Li, suddenly felt a chill in their spines.


    Not only Chen Bingyao and Xie Chu, but many people in the crowd felt the same way when they looked at Yang Xiaotian again.


    This feeling was like watching a Tyrant Dragon lurking among a flock of sheep.


    At that moment, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan approached Yang Xiaotian with feelings of incredible excitement, shock, and disbelief.


    What Yang Xiaotian had ultimately demonstrated was the pinnacle of acquired martial technique, the Vast Sea Sword Technique.


    And it was the Vast Sea Sword Technique at its Summit Mastery!


    Tiger King Fist, Four Seasons Sword Technique, Sword Thirteen reaching


    Summit Mastery, was already impressive, but now even the Vast Sea Sword Technique, an Acquired Supreme Martial Technique, was cultivated to Summit Mastery!


    At this moment, their hearts were trembling with excitement.


    It was something the Divine Sword Academy had never seen in hundreds of years.


    There had never been a first-year student who had cultivated an Acquired Supreme Martial Technique to the level of Summit Mastery.


    And there had never been a first-year student who could fullyprehend the Stone Swords at Hundred Swords za.


    Let aloneprehend them to the point of entering the stage of minor achievement at the first try.


    Chen Yuan stood in front of Yang Xiaotian and began, ¡°Child.¡± As he spoke, he seemed to get choked up with excitement, unable to continue.


    At this moment, Chen Yuan regarded his own plea to Lin Yong to allow Yang Xiaotian to stay as an incredibly wise decision.


    Lin Yong had an even moreplex mix of emotions.


    At the same time, he felt regret for his careless words, which only allowed Yang Xiaotian to stay at the Divine Sword Academy for one year.


    If Yang Xiaotian truly couldn¡¯t break through the seventh rank after one year, wouldn¡¯t the Sword Dao Genius of a millennium just leave the Divine Sword Academy?


    Subsequently, Lin Yong learned of the incident where Yang Xiaotian¡¯sprehension of the Stone Sword was interrupted by an attack from Su Li, and he could not help but fly into a furious rage, pointing angrily at the crowd from Divine Sea Academy: ¡°I will settle this ount with your Dean in due time!¡±


    Comprehending the Stone Sword is an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought.


    If it¡¯s interrupted, it would be difficult toprehend the same Stone Sword again next time.


    Because the Sword Heart would have a gap.


    This was tantamount to destroying Yang Xiaotian¡¯s great chance to fullyprehend the Stone Sword.


    This caused Lin Yong to beat his chest and stamp his feet in frustration.


    Seeing Lin Yong in a fury, Yang Xiaotian yet said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s alright, just an interruption. Even if it¡¯s interrupted a hundred times, I can stillprehend it anytime I want if I wish to.¡±


    After speaking, he once again focused onprehending the Stone Sword before him.


    Soon, the ten-meter-tall Stone Sword began to surge with sword light once more.


    And this time, the sword light seemed even stronger than before.


    Seeing this, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian as though he was a monster.


    To be able to resume theprehension of the Stone Sword after being interrupted, and at any time, just as he wished!


    Chen Yuan, watching Yang Xiaotian enveloped in sword qi in front of the Stone


    Sword, trembled with excitement: ¡®Good, very good! Heaven blesses Divine


    Sword Academy indeed.¡±


    ¡°Divine Sword Academy has produced a remarkable Sword Dao genius!¡±


    At the same time, he said excitedly to Lin Yong, ¡°If anyone dares to prevent this child from staying at Divine Sword Academy, I will fight them to my dying breath!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s heart was shaken.


    The Vice Dean Chen was willing to risk his life to keep Yang Xiaotian at the academy.


    Upon hearing these words, Lin Yong was neither angry nor incensed; instead, he felt utterly ashamed.


    He was blind not to have noticed such a Sword Dao genius, nearly driving him


    away.


    He understood Chen Yuan¡¯s feelings; had he known of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent beforehand, he wouldn¡¯t have allowed him to stay for just one year either.


    Hu Xing, seeing that Chen Yuan was willing to risk his life to ensure Yang Xiaotian stayed at Divine Sword Academy, felt even more jealous.


    At that moment, a strong intent to kill surged within his heart.


    As Hu Xing¡¯s murderous intent grew, suddenly, the Stone Sword emitted a thousand-zhang sword qi st!


    The sword qi soared into the sky!


    Even during the day, the sword qi that shot up into the heavens felt blinding to Hu Xing.


    At this moment, not only Divine Sword Academy, but many experts throughout Divine Sword City also saw the astonishing sword qi.


    ¡°Such powerful sword qi! Which student from Divine Sword Academy hasprehended the ultimate Sword Dao?¡± said Peng Zhigang, the Mansion Master of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion in Divine Sword City, in surprise.


    He immediately ordered his subordinates: ¡°Find out quickly, which student from Divine Sword Academy hasprehended the ultimate Sword Dao!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Mansion Master!¡±


    The Pharmacists at the Pharmacist Hall in Divine Sword City also saw the astonishing sword qi, all surprised.


    ¡°Quickly go find out which student from Divine Sword Academy it is!¡± said Lin Yuan, the Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall, ordering his Pharmacists to investigate at once.


    Almost the entire Divine Sword City¡¯s families sent people to inquire.


    As Hu Xing watched the blinding sword qi from the Stone Sword, his face grew even uglier.


    Yet, as his face turned uglier, another spectacr burst of sword qi shot out from the Stone Sword, reaching the Nine Heavens, as if stirring the winds and clouds up above.


    Hu Xing¡¯s face turned even uglier.


    The crowd at Hundred Swords za was shocked by the Stone Sword¡¯s incredible sword qi.


    The new students of Divine Sword Academy were witnessing someoneprehending the Stone Sword for the first time, and the sight of the soaring sword qi left them iparably shaken.


    And it wasn¡¯t just the new students; even Cao Lu and the other academy teachers were immensely shocked. They had seen studentsprehend the Stone Sword before, but none had caused such an uproar!


    The sword qi from those students was like a fountain, at most reaching ten meters high, but the sword qi before them was no mere fountain¡ªit was like a super cannon!


    (Exciting!)

    As Yang Xiaotian continued hisprehension of the Stone Sword, the super cannon-like Sword Qi in the eyes of Cao Lu and the others kept sting into the Nine Heavens.


    The winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens roared turbulently without end.


    The Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian became increasingly dense.


    Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others watched as the Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian grew thicker and thicker, all were excited and overjoyed.


    Judging by such dense Sword Qi, if Yang Xiaotian continued with hisprehension, might he directly step into the Great Aplishment Realm?


    The people of Divine Sea Academy watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯sprehension of the Stone Sword in disbelief. One of the Divine Sea Academy teachers couldn¡¯t help but say to Cao Lu, ¡°Is this Yang Xiaotian really a level-two Giant Tortoise


    Martial Soul?¡±


    Then he stared at Cao Lu with eyes like the Grim Reaper.


    Could a level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soulprehend the Stone Sword that many geniuses from Divine Sword Academy couldn¡¯t?


    And directly enter the Minor Achievement Realm?


    A level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, after being interrupted in itsprehension of the Stone Sword, could he just resumeprehension at any time?


    Is this what a level-two Martial Soul could aplish?


    You¡¯re fucking with us.


    He even suspected that the Divine Sword Academy deliberately imed Yang Xiaotian to be a level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul when in reality, Yang Xiaotian might be a Supreme Martial Spirit.


    Cao Lu initially wanted to confirm that indeed Yang Xiaotian was a level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, but upon seeing the murderous look from that Sea God Academy teacher, his words were stifled.


    He couldn¡¯t help but look towards the dean, Lin Yong.


    He felt like crying without tears.


    It wasn¡¯t he who said Yang Xiaotian was a level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.


    It was their dean who had said it.


    This had nothing to do with him.


    He, too, wanted to know what was really going on.


    Xie Chu, Chen Bingyao, and other teachers and students of the academy also looked towards Lin Yong.


    At this moment, everyone wanted to know what was really going on with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    If anyone still imed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was a level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, it would be like grinding their brains against the ground a hundred times.


    Lin Yong, suddenly stared at by many with eyes like fierce beasts, was equally distressed. He cursed in his mind, wanting to know what was going on, because his Deste Heaven Eye indeed identified Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul as a tortoise.


    Furthermore, the shape of the tortoise was right there; you couldn¡¯t just say what he saw was all an illusion.


    However, he couldn¡¯t figure out what was truly going on with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    Unless!


    Lin Yong thought of a possibility.


    Just then, a messenger from the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion, who was gathering information, hurriedly reported what he had found to the Divine Sword City Lord, Peng Zhigang.


    ¡°What, the oneprehending the Stone Sword at Hundred Swords za is a student with a level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul?¡± Peng Zhigang was astonished upon hearing the news and immediately flew into a rage, pping the messenger so hard that he was hurled away, his face swelling like a pig¡¯s head.


    His subordinate was pped silly.


    ¡°A level-two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul canprehend the Stone Sword of Hundred Swords za?¡± Peng Zhigang angrily pointed at his subordinate, ¡°Are you out of your mind? Or just talking piss?¡±


    That subordinate immediately felt like crying, ¡®My lord, it¡¯s the Divine Sword Academy that¡¯s spreading the news. They said Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was personally verified by Dean Lin Yong and it is indeed a Tortoise Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°However, what¡¯s strange is that just over ten days ago in the first-year monthly exam, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Thirteen, Four Seasons Sword


    Technique, and Tiger King Fist had all been cultivated to the Summit Mastery!¡±


    ¡°Today was supposed to be a freshman exchange meeting between Divine Sword Academy and Divine Sea Academy. The super Martial Spirit genius Su Li from Divine Sea Academy, seeing Yang Xiaotianprehending the Stone


    Sword, attacked Yang Xiaotian to interrupt hisprehension but was kicked away by Yang Xiaotian! ¡±


    ¡°Afterward, Su Li used the Great Aplishment Realm¡¯s Phantom God Sword


    Technique, but was still sent flying by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s peak of Perfection


    Realm Phantom Sword Technique.¡±


    ¡°Finally, Su Li even used the lost for a hundred years Sword Mountain Decree, and yet, he was still struck away by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Summit Mastery Realm¡¯s Vast Sea Sword Technique!¡±


    He excitedly reported the news he had just gathered to Peng Zhigang.


    However, the more he spoke, the stranger he felt.


    His voice gradually trailed off.


    Because of these, could a second-level Martial Soul aplish such feats?


    Everyone found it strange.


    After hearing the details, Peng Zhigang fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, ¡°Giant Tortoise Martial Soul?¡±


    If Lin Yong had personally appraised it, then it must undoubtedly be a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.


    But is it possible, not all Giant Tortoise Martial Souls are second-level?


    Meanwhile, a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall reported the results of their inquiry to Lin Yuan.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian?¡± Lin Yuan was startled, then suddenly burst into a knowing smile; so it was this kid.


    No wonder then.


    He had wondered when such an astonishing Sword Dao genius emerged from Divine Sword Academy.


    If it was this kid, then that was normal.


    These days, whenever he thought about Yang Xiaotian concocting the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, he couldn¡¯t remain calm.


    However, this kid seemed to be even more monstrous than he had imagined, not only was his pharmacist level extraordinary, but even his Sword Dao talent was monstrous.


    Yang Xiaotian? Chen Zihan, who was beside him, also heard the investigation results and was puzzled; why did this name sound so familiar.


    Suddenly, she remembered, wasn¡¯t this person Yang Zhong¡¯s younger cousin?


    Thinking of Cheng Beibei¡¯s im that this person had impersonated a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall, Chen Zihan furrowed her brows. Ever since Cheng Beibei said this person had impersonated a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall, she had taken a dislike to this Yang Xiaotian.


    Time passed.


    An hour psed.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian fullyprehended all the sword techniques within the world of the Stone Sword¡¯s Sword Qi.


    The Sword Qi of the Stone Sword gradually receded.


    All returned to tranquility.


    The Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian began to slowly dissipate.


    When he opened his eyes, he saw a dense crowd at Hundred Swords za.


    Everyone was staring at him with eyes glowing green.


    Yang Xiaotian took in everyone¡¯s expressions, his gazended on Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, and he cupped his fists towards the two deans, ¡°Deans, I haveprehended the Stone Sword, and I need to go back to consolidate. If there¡¯s nothing else, I will take my leave first.¡±


    Having said that, he turned and left.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan opened their mouths but said nothing.


    Originally, during that hour, they had prepared many things to say but hadn¡¯t uttered a single word.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s disappearing figure at Hundred Swords za, Lin


    Yong asked Chen Yuan, ¡°Do you think, this kid, might be angry with me?¡±


    Seeing Lin Yong¡¯s nervous expression, Chen Yuan was astonished.


    It was his first time seeing the dean looking like this.


    Lin Yong, the dean of Divine Sword Academy, was now actually worried that a student might be angry at him.


    Chen Yuan looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure, but shook his head and remained silent.


    At this moment, the leaves of the ginkgo trees at Divine Sword Academy were falling, piece after piece of golden yellow,nding on the footprints left by Yang Xiaotian; from a distance, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body seemed to be touched with ayer of gold.


    As Yang Xiaotian left, eventually, the people from Divine Sea Academy also bid farewell and took their leave.


    They felt embarrassed to stay any longer, and had no face to continue staying.


    Watching the departing teachers and students from Divine Sea Academy, naturally, neither Lin Yong nor Chen Yuan had a pleasant expression.


    ¡°Dean, do you think we should inform the five great Elders of Divine Sword Academy about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s situation?¡± Chen Yuan suddenly said to Lin Yong.


    Although Lin Yong was the dean of Divine Sword Academy, in terms of seniority, the highest were the five great Elders of Divine Sword Academy.


    However, the five great Elders had always been secluded within the inner Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy, meditating on the supreme Sword Dao, and had not left the Sword Hall for many years.


    If there wasn¡¯t a matter of great importance, even Lin Yong should not disturb the five great Elders..

    Chapter 48: Comprehending the Second Stone Sword


    Trantor: 549690339


    Upon hearing Chen Yuan suggest reporting Yang Xiaotian¡¯s situation to the five great Elders of Sword Hall, Lin Yong hesitated.


    The five great Elders wereprehending the supreme Sword Dao in the Sword Hall and did not want to be disturbed. They had said that even if someone with a Supreme Martial Spirit appeared in the academy, there was no need to report to them.


    Unless a student was able toprehend more than ten of the hundred Stone Swords at the Hundred Swords za, only then there was a need to report to the five of them.


    Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent was astonishing, he had onlyprehended one Stone Sword so far.


    ¡°The five great Elders said that unless a student couldprehend more than ten Stone Swords, there¡¯s no need to report anything else to them,¡± Lin Yong mused. ¡°Let¡¯s not report Yang Xiaotian¡¯s matter to the five great Elders for now.¡±


    Having said this, he turned to Chen Yuan and said, ¡®You go collect all the books rted to Martial Souls.¡±


    He wanted to research Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul further.


    Like the Divine Sword City Lord Peng Zhigang, he also spected whether not all the Giant Tortoise Martial Souls were of the second level.


    Could Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Giant Tortoise Martial Soul be an exception?


    He intended to find references to see if any book had recorded anything about


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.


    Now as he recalled the scene of Yang Xiaotian summoning his Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.


    ¡°Alright, Dean, I¡¯ll have someone collect all the Martial Soul books now,¡± Chen Yuan understood Lin Yong¡¯s intention and nodded earnestly.


    Without hesitation, Chen Yuan immediately went to collect the Martial Soul books.


    The crowd at the Hundred Swords za dispersed.


    Hu Xing returned to his own courtyard, his sleeves swept a wave of astonishing Sword Qi that instantly shattered the huge stone block in the courtyard.


    Seeing Hu Xing¡¯s unpleasant face, the students who usually followed him were too scared to speak.


    ¡°You all go back first,¡± Hu Xing waved his hand. ¡°I want to be alone for a while.¡± No one dared to say much and left one after another.


    After everyone had left, Hu Xing no longer hid the murderous intent in his heart, like a wounded Fierce Beast: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, so what if you haveprehended the first Stone Sword, I just don¡¯t believe that you canprehend the second one!¡±


    After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian began to practice the Stone Sword Technique he had justprehended in the courtyard.


    This set of Swordsmanship was called ¡°Fiery Sun Sword Technique¡±.


    It was a Sword Technique as staunch and as full of yang as could be.


    Immediately, within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard, waves of Sword Qi rolled about, and the intense heat made the entire courtyard seem aze.


    As Yang Xiaotian wielded his sword, his Sword Qi shone like sunlight, refracting a brilliant sunlight-like radiance.


    As he continued to practice, his Sword Qi grew more and more intense.


    Untilte into the night.


    After Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Fiery Sun Sword Technique to the realm of Great Aplishment, he began practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    With the cirction of the Primordial Dragon Art, six True Qi Dragons roamed around him incessantly.


    After breaking through to the peak of the Late Innate Fourth Layer, he had awakened two more True Qi Dragons.


    By now, he had awakened six True Qi Dragons in total.


    With the empowerment of the six True Qi Dragons, his strength, defense, and attacks all experienced astonishing enhancements.


    At this moment, coiled above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, the ck Tortoise Martial Spirit and ck Snake Martial Spirit that were devouring the Spiritual Energy of the Nine Heavens showed significant changespared to before.


    The shell of the ck Tortoise had be even more solidified.


    And the scales of the ck Snake appeared like ck Iron. Furthermore, beneath the ck Snake¡¯s belly, two protrusions were bulging out just as if it was about to grow legs.


    Yang Xiaotian also sensed the changes in the ck Snake and couldn¡¯t help feeling astonished and puzzled.


    A snake growing legs?


    What was this a sign of?


    Could it be?


    Thinking of a possibility, Yang Xiaotian was excited in his heart.


    When daylight came, he cultivated the martial technique he exchanged the day before to grand mastery and returned to the Divine Sword Academy Repository again.


    After exchanging a Secret Tome, he did not leave immediately but continued to look through the books about Martial Souls.


    In one of the Martial Soul Books, Yang Xiaotian confirmed his guess. His ck Snake Martial Soul was showing the signs of transforming into a dragon.


    ¡°ck Dragon, huh,¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.


    The ck Dragon was the sovereign among the Divine Dragon race, on the same tier as the Golden Holy Dragon, a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul.


    And Yang Xiaotian felt that his ck Dragon Martial Soul was not an ordinary ck Dragon.


    As to which kind of ck Dragon it was, he would have to wait until his ck Dragon Martial Soul truly underwent the transformation to know.


    Yang Xiaotian closed the book and left the Repository.


    Lu Zelin watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure withplex and inexplicable emotions in his eyes.


    He had also seen the Sword Qi from the day before that erupted like a super cannon at the Hundred Swords za. However, since he was assigned to guard the Repository, he couldn¡¯t go to the Hundred Swords za. After learning that the one who hadprehended the Stone Sword was Yang Xiaotian, Lu Zelin felt utterly bewildered.


    Also, he had learned of the events of the previous day when Yang Xiaotian used Phantom Sword Technique and Vast Sea Sword Technique to defeat Su Li.


    He even knew that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Phantom Sword Technique and Vast Sea Sword Technique had each been cultivated to the pinnacle of Perfection Realm and Summit Mastery, respectively. ¡°Perfection Realm at its pinnacle.¡± ¡°Summit Mastery.¡±


    Lu Zelin murmured to himself.


    Previously, Yang Xiaotian came every day to exchange a Secret Tome, and it¡¯sughable that he and Hu Xing thought Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t understand andpletelyprehend the tomes he borrowed. It turns out the man didn¡¯t fail to understand.


    He truly understood!


    ¡°Defeating Hu Xing in two years, huh,¡± Lu Zelin mumbled to himself.


    Over a month ago, when Yang Xiaotian said those words, he became theughing stock among all the teachers and students of the Divine Sword Academy after meals.


    And now what?


    Just at that moment, suddenly a student came dashing out from the Repository, shouting, ¡°Yang Xiaotian has gone to the Hundred Swords za toprehend the Stone Swords again!¡±


    Lu Zelin shook violently all over.


    This was because Yang Xiaotian also exchanged martial technique books yesterday, and then headed to the Hundred Swords za toprehend the Stone Swords.


    Today could Yang Xiaotian be aiming toprehend a second Stone Sword?


    The thought caused Lu Zelin¡¯s heart to pound uncontrobly.


    And the news that Yang Xiaotian was going toprehend his second Stone Sword today soon reached Hu Xing¡¯s ears.


    Hu Xing stiffened upon hearing the news.


    Then, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes shooting out vicious light: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I just don¡¯t believe that you can thoroughlyprehend a second


    Stone Sword today!¡±

 Chapter 49: I’ll make sure this boy is obliterated.

    Chapter 49: I¡¯ll make sure this boy is obliterated.


    Trantor: 549690339


    Not only did Hu Xing not believe it, Cheng Beibei didn¡¯t either, and Yang Zhong even less so.


    The Stone Sword was incredibly difficult toprehend. If someone managed toprehend a single sword in a few years, it was already extremely rare. They refused to believe that Yang Xiaotian couldprehend two major Stone Swords on consecutive days!


    When Lin Yong and Chen Yuan received the news, they were also surprised.


    ¡°Is he going toprehend the second Stone Sword today?¡± Lin Yong pondered, ¡°Could this child be a bit too eager for quick sess?¡±


    He didn¡¯t deny that Yang Xiaotian was an unparalleled Sword Dao genius, but the idea that Yang Xiaotian couldprehend two major Stone Swords on consecutive days still seemed absurd to him.


    ¡°Shall we go take a look?¡± Chen Yuan asked Lin Yong.


    Lin Yong nodded, put down the Martial Soul Books he had just collected, and went with Chen Yuan toward Hundred Swords za.


    However, just as Lin Yong and Chen Yuan had barely left the courtyard, suddenly, a startling Sword Qi soared into the sky, reaching the Nine Heavens.


    The Sword Qi came so abruptly.


    And with such ferocity!


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan had not yet recovered when another wave of Sword Qi burst forth!


    The two looked in the direction of the Sword Qi, their faces filled with astonishment.


    That direction was precisely Hundred Swords za.


    Could it be?!


    The two exchanged shocked looks and sped toward Hundred Swords za as fast as they ever had in their lives.


    Even so, by the time they flew toward Hundred Swords za, the area around the za was already densely packed with teachers and students from the academy.


    In the crowd, Hu Xing clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at Yang Xiaotian, who stood in front of the second Stone Sword.


    Next to him, Yang Zhong watched Yang Xiaotian, his heart filled with boundless despair.


    Cheng Beibei also had aplex expression on her face.


    There was a legend within Divine Sword Academy about the Stone Swords of Hundred Swords za¡ªthat only those with an incredibly powerful Sword Heart couldprehend them.


    Afterprehending a single Stone Sword, even the strongest Sword Heart would need at least a year to digest the experience before being able toprehend a second Stone Sword.


    But what about Yang Xiaotian?


    Why could heprehend a second Stone Sword the day after the first?


    How exactly did Yang Xiaotian manage this?


    Not only did Cheng Beibei find it iprehensible, but all the teachers and students at the scene were also baffled.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan didn¡¯t understand either.


    Unless Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Heart was strong to a terrifying extent.


    At that moment, standing before the Stone Sword, Yang Xiaotian seemed to be in a world of ice and snow.


    In this icy world, the sky was full of cial Sword Qi swirling all around.


    In Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, these cial Sword Qi transformed into icy swordsmen.


    The icy swordsmen performed their Sword Techniques.


    Soon, icy Sword Qi surged around Yang Xiaotian.


    Onlookers could see, around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head and body, snowkes began to flutter about.


    And the snowkes became more numerous, covering the entire Hundred Swords za.


    At that time, the sun was shining fiercely, yet Hundred Swords za was swirling with snowkes¡ªsuch a miraculous scene struck at the hearts of all present.


    The second Stone Sword Technique that Yang Xiaotian wasprehending was the ¡°Cold Moon Sword Technique.¡±


    The first Stone Sword was the ¡°Fiery Sun Sword Technique,¡± and now the second was the ¡°Cold Moon Sword Technique,¡± one yang and one yin, one firm and one soft.


    In time, yin and yang would alternate, strength and softness wouldplement each other, and the power of the two Sword Techniques was bound to increase dramatically once again.


    As time went on, the snowkes in Hundred Swords za grew denser and more intense.


    Snowkes spun in the wind, as if they were dragons made of snowkes in motion.


    At the same time, an astonishing chill spread across the sky and covered the earth.


    Everyone standing in the za couldn¡¯t help but step back in amazement.


    Just as the snowkes seemed to spill out of the za, suddenly, they halted at its edge.


    Then, the Sword Qi from the Stone Sword began to slowly dissipate.


    The snowke Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body retracted back into him.


    The snowkes that had been dancing in the sunshine almost instantaneously disappeared without a trace.


    Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes.


    He saw Hu Xing standing among the crowd, staring at him with a face full of jealousy and hate.


    Their gazes collided.


    In the midst of the crowd¡¯s shock, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan came over.


    Compared to yesterday, they were even more excited.


    ¡°Xiaotian, how do you feel?¡± Chen Yuan asked Yang Xiaotian with a tone that cherished him as a precious treasure, his voice so gentle and his smile so bright that it made everyone gulp.


    Yang Xiaotian knew Chen Yuan was asking if he felt any difort.


    After all, he hadprehended two Stone Swords for two consecutive days, and there was a fear that he might not be able to digest the experience, which could hinder his future cultivation.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    The anxious Lin Yong and Chen Yuan finally let their hanging hearts settle.


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing wrong, then I will head back first,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to the two Deans.


    Lin Yong hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, after you go back, don¡¯t push yourself too hard in your cultivation. Don¡¯t tire yourself, you are at the age where you¡¯re growing.¡±


    Don¡¯t tire yourself.


    You are at the age where you¡¯re growing?


    Everyone looked at Lin Yong with a surprised gaze.


    When had their always strict and stuffy Dean learned to be so concerned about his students?


    ¡°Alright, Dean,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded to Lin Yong, and after speaking, he left Hundred Swords za.


    In the sunlight, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure gradually walked further away.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s slender figure seemed to be cloaked in a golden light.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian depart, both Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were overwhelmed with excitement.


    ¡°Let¡¯s speed up the collection of books about Martial Soul from all over the world,¡± Lin Yong suddenly said to Chen Yuan.


    He was bing more and more anxious to find out what exactly Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Chen Yuan nodded.


    Not to mention Yang Xiaotian continuing to practice the Cold Moon Sword Technique when he returned to his residence, Hu Xing went back to his yard and furiously shed with his sword, shattering all the stone stumps to pieces.


    ¡°Senior Brother Hu, Yang Xiaotian now lives outside the academy, should I find a chance to kill him?¡± Deng Yi, who was loyal to Hu Xing, suggested, making a throat-cutting gesture.


    Deng Yi, capable of bing an Inner Court Student of Divine Sword Academy, naturally had excellent talent and was not weak in cultivation, being at the Innate level ten.


    Hu Xing shook his head, ¡°Killing him within Divine Sword City would draw too much attention.¡± After thinking for a moment, he added, ¡°During the final exam, there¡¯s a field beast hunting assessment. We¡¯ll act then, when he is in the wild.¡±


    With coldness in his eyes, he said, ¡°I want that kid to disappear without a trace!¡±


    In past final exams that included beast hunting in the wild, there had been students devoured by beasts. This time, he would ensure Yang Xiaotian¡¯s death by the maws of ferocious beasts.


    If Yang Xiaotian were to die to fierce beasts, even if Divine Sword Academy tried to investigate, it would be very difficult to find any clues.


    Deng Yi smirked, ¡®Good, then we¡¯ll wait until the final exam¡¯s field beast hunting to kill him.¡± Speaking up to here, he hesitated, ¡°Is it possible that this kid could continue toprehend the Stone Sword tomorrow?¡±


    Hu Xing felt as if his entire being was struck, his body tensed, and his voice hoarse, ¡°I¡¯ll be damned if he canprehend the third Stone Sword tomorrow!¡±

 Chapter 50 - 50 Unearth

    Chapter 50: Unearth


    Trantor: 549690339


    After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian brought the Cold Moon Sword Technique to the Great Aplishment realm and then began alchemy.


    Having ample supply of the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pills was always advantageous, so he naturally did not mind having more.


    After all, he still had many medicinal herbs on hand.


    It was deep into the night when Yang Xiaotian finally practiced the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The next morning, he began practicing the Innate Top Secret Manuals he had exchanged from the Academy Repository the day before.


    Having practiced swordsmanship for the previous days, he had exchanged for a leg technique instead of a sword technique yesterday, namely the ¡°Divine Wind Kick.¡±


    This Divine Wind Kick was quite interesting; when cultivated to the Perfection Realm, a single kick could raise a hurricane, and when brought to Summit Mastery, a kick could even unleash a tornado-like storm.


    After finishing and memorizing the Divine Wind Kick secret tome, Yang


    Xiaotian began his practice.


    Soon, gusty winds rose within the courtyard.


    By the time he had cultivated the Divine Wind Kick to Great Aplishment, it was nearly noon.


    Lately, Yang Xiaotian felt that a day¡¯s time was not sufficient.


    Especially afterprehending the Stone Sword, he still needed to take half a day each day to practice the Stone Sword Technique.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian decided that for the future Innate Top Martial Techniques from the Book Pavilion, he would only cultivate them to the Minor Achievement Realm.


    Since he would eventually break through to the Great Aplishment and Perfection Realms with time, there was no need to rush to achieve Great Aplishment on the same day.


    In this way, he could spare two hours to do other things.


    Yang Xiaotian leisurely walked to Luo Qing¡¯s courtyard and saw Luo Qing practicing his boxing. With every punch Luo Qing threw, more than a dozen fist imprints materialized in the air.


    Moreover, the fist imprints carried a strange me.


    Seeing this abnormal me, Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    In recent days, he had been reading alchemy books and had some understanding of the mes between Heaven and Earth.


    There were all types of mes among Heaven and Earth, including Spiritual Fires, Abnormal Fires, and Divine mes.


    If one could subdue these mes and integrate them into one¡¯s True Qi, it would not only enhance the attack power of True Qi, but also improve the potency of elixirs.


    The mes that came with Luo Qing¡¯s fist imprints should be one of the Spiritual Fires or Abnormal Fires.


    However, whether Spiritual Fire or Abnormal Fire, both were exceedingly difficult to subdue because these Heaven and Earth mes were wildly potent, and the chances of sessful subjugation were extremely slim.


    Many powerful beings failed in their attempts and were instead burned to ashes by these Heaven and Earth fires.


    It was unexpected that Luo Qing had sessfully subdued one.


    ¡°Young Master,¡± at that moment, Luo Qing, who was practicing his boxing technique, saw Yang Xiaotianing over and stopped practicing to walk over with a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian hummed a response and smilingly asked, ¡°Luo Qing, the me in your fist imprints, it¡¯s an Abnormal Fire, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Luo Qing respectfully answered, ¡°Yes, Young Master. I was fortunate to subdue this Abnormal Fire, although it is just the ck Wind me at the bottom of the Abnormal Fire List.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Indeed, it was an Abnormal Fire within Luo Qing¡¯s body.


    In terms of power among the Heaven and Earth mes, Spiritual Fires are the weakest, followed by Abnormal Fires, with Divine mes being the strongest.


    Even the weakest Abnormal Fire at the bottom of the Abnormal Fire List is more powerful than any Spiritual Fire.


    And since Abnormal Fires are rare, with only several hundred varieties, the fact that Luo Qing managed to subdue the ck Wind me was quite remarkable.


    Luo Qing said with a sigh, ¡°To subdue this ck Wind me, I went through an experience akin to dying nine times over, almost getting burnt to a soulless ash.¡±


    Thinking back on that situation, he was still frightened.


    Yang Xiaotian then inquired about Luo Qing¡¯s cultivation progress.


    Luo Qing mentioned that after taking the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill, his True Qi had improved, yet breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm was still challenging.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to visit Ate, Ali, and the Golden Armored Beast.


    Ate and Ali were practicing War God Art, and with the help of the Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill, they were progressing rapidly and had already reached the second level of Innate.


    As for Xiao Jin, its size appeared to have not changed much, but its speech had be more fluent; it no longer stuttered. The problem was, the little fellow loved meat and became unhappy without it. It often went out of the city to hunt beasts and was also fond of acting coquettishly like a six or seven-year- old child.


    Upon leaving his residence, Yang Xiaotian was contemting the matter of Heaven and Earth Fire on his way to the Academy Repository.


    If he could subdue Heaven and Earth Fire, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his alchemy.


    For an alchemist, no matter how strong their Soul Power was, or how formidable the Heaven and Earth Fire they could draw upon, the best elixirs they could refine were of supreme quality.


    However, if he could subdue Divine me and use it for alchemy, there was hope for his supreme quality elixirs to break through to paramount quality!


    The power of a paramount quality elixir was iparable to that of a supreme one.


    Paramount quality elixirs, refined through the Divine me, were incredibly pure, with virtually negligible side effects.


    However, Divine mes were scant in this world, with barely a few dozen kinds. These Divine mes were hidden deep within the vast mountains and great rivers, making them extremely difficult to find.


    ¡°I wonder if the Academy Repository has any books describing Divine mes,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself, nning to search thoroughly once he arrived at the Repository.


    After reaching the Repository, Yang Xiaotian exchanged for an Innate Top Sword Technique and began searching for books on Divine mes; eventually, he did find one.


    However, this book on Divine mes was only a few dozen pages long and merely described their shapes and powers; it contained nothing of value.


    Disappointed, Yang Xiaotian left the Repository with the Innate Top Sword Technique Secret Tome.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian leaving the Repository, many students followed suit, specting whether he would continue toprehend the third Stone Sword today.


    ¡°I bet Yang Xiaotian will continue toprehend the third Stone Sword today!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d die before I believe that Yang Xiaotian canprehend the third Stone Sword today!¡±


    ¡°I heard that after Brother Hu Xing returned yesterday, he sted all the stone stools in his courtyard to smithereens.¡±


    ¡°Turned to smithereens? Doesn¡¯t that mean he will have to sit on the ground from now on?¡±


    A group of studentsughed behind him.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled upon hearing the conversations of the students behind him.


    Sit on the ground, huh?


    If he couldprehend the third Stone Sword today, he wondered if Hu Xing would go so far as to dig up the earth in his courtyard.


    Yang Xiaotian arrived at Hundred Swords za and, under the tense gaze of the students following him, walked up to the third Stone Sword.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was actually going to continueprehending the third Stone Sword today, the students were shocked.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is going toprehend the third Stone Sword!¡± a student shouted excitedly, as if he himself was the one about to do theprehending.


    Suddenly, those students began to spread the news.


    Yang Xiaotian, watching the students scurrying to tell others, felt somewhat speechless; his attempt toprehend a Stone Sword seemed to have turned into a grand joyous event for the academy.


    Meanwhile, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian was going toprehend the third Stone Sword, hurriedly put down their Martial Soul Secret Manuals and rushed towards Hundred Swords za, fearing they¡¯d be toote. They even each ingested a Spirit Pill in their haste.


    However, as they were halfway there, a sword¡¯s Qi suddenly shot up to the sky.


    Stunned by the dazzling Sword Qi at Hundred Swords za, they were at a loss for words.


    Damn!


    They were toote.


    In Hu Xing¡¯s courtyard, following the surge of the Sword Qi, one could hear the angry roars of the injured Hu Xing, while dust billowed and filled the sky. Just as Yang Xiaotian had guessed, Hu Xing began digging up the earth in his courtyard.

 Chapter 51 - 51 Where the Divine Flame Resides

    Chapter 51: Where the Divine me Resides


    Trantor: 549690339


    No matter how the dust storms swirled in Hu Xing¡¯s courtyard, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword qi continued to pierce into the Nine Heavens, stab into the firmament, as if to puncture the sky with holes.


    The students at Hundred Swords za watched the exceptionally rigid and fierce sword qi, unable to contain their shock.


    Usually, these academy students prided themselves on their extraordinary sword dao, but now, seeing the sword qi that seemed capable of puncturing the sky, the arrogance in their hearts had beenpletely shattered.


    At this moment, in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Divine Sword City, Peng Zhigang watched the sword qi that pierced the firmament from Divine Sword Academy and, in his astonishment, eximed, ¡°Divine Sword Academy is about to produce a dragon.¡±


    Dragon!


    The sovereign of scaled creatures.


    The overlord of Heaven and Earth.


    Standing beside Peng Zhigang, the experts from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion were equally shaken.


    ¡°Incredible,¡± Peng Zhigang said, watching the increasingly astonishing sword qi, and couldn¡¯t help saying again, ¡°In ten years¡¯ time, this youngster will surely be the number one person in Divine Sea Country!¡±


    The number one person in Divine Sea Country!


    And in just ten years!


    Hearing City Lord Peng Zhigang rate Yang Xiaotian so highly.


    The experts of the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion were shocked.


    Yang Xiaotian was only eight years old now, wasn¡¯t it to say that he would be the number one person in Divine Sea Country by the age of eighteen?


    The experts from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion found it hard to believe.


    In the Pharmacist Hall, Lin Yuan watched the sword qi that reached for the heavens and was filled with wonder. Three days of continuous enlightenment of three Stone Swords, such sword dao talent was no longer describable as monstrous.


    ¡°This year, it seems the Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy will have to add another elder,¡± Lin Yuan muttered to himself.


    Standing beside him, Chen Zihan was greatly surprised and said in disbelief, ¡°Master, that¡¯s impossible.¡±


    To be an elder of the Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy, one must at leastprehend all thirty Stone Swords in Hundred Swords za.


    The Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy had existed for hundreds of years, and there had never been six elders, at most five.


    Becauseprehending all thirty Stone Swords in Hundred Swords za was incredibly difficult.


    ¡°Anything is possible in this world,¡± Lin Yuan looked at his disciple and said.


    He used to think that his disciple had extraordinary talent, but now,pared with Yang Xiaotian, it was likeparing fireflies to the sun.


    Chen Zihan, however, shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t believe Yang Xiaotian canprehend all thirty Stone Swords this year.¡±


    Although it¡¯s true Yang Xiaotian had consecutivelyprehended three Stone


    Swords over the past three days, she still couldn¡¯t believe that within this year, Yang Xiaotian could master all thirty Stone Swords and then be the sixth elder of the Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy.


    Lin Yuan just smiled withoutment.


    At that time, Yang Xiaotian stood before the third Stone Sword, entering a desert world where countless sword qi formed of fine sand roamed and flew high in the sky.


    The swordsmanship contained in the third Stone Sword is known as ¡°Earth


    Sword.¡±


    But in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, this fine sand sword qi did not demonstrate sword techniques as the previous two Stone Swords did; instead, all the fine sand sword qi began merging continuously.


    Eventually, tens of thousands of sword qi merged into one colossal sword qi.


    This sword qi, like the Earth Sword, was immensely thick and incredibly sturdy.


    This is the Earth Sword, and there is only one move in Earth Sword! This one move is also known as ¡°Earth Sword.¡¯


    However, despite having only one move, mastering the Earth Sword is no easier than the previous Fiery Sun Sword Technique or Cold Moon Sword Technique.


    Onlookers saw waves of earth surging around Yang Xiaotian, with sword qi churning incessantly amid the dust.


    An hourter.


    The Stone Sword¡¯s sword energy gradually dissipated.


    The earth waves and sword energy surrounding Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body also slowly faded away.


    When Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, just like the previous two days, Hundred Swords za was crowded with a sea of people.


    Yang Xiaotian saw Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others among the crowd.


    However, at that time, Hu Xing was still turning over the soil in the yard, so Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t see him.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan excitedly approached Yang Xiaotian.


    Like the day before, Chen Yuan asked with concern whether Yang Xiaotian was alright.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said he was fine.


    Reassured that Yang Xiaotian was indeed fine, the two finally rxedpletely.


    A momentter, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Xiaotian left Hundred Swords za.


    But upon returning to his mansion¡¯s gate, he saw Lin Yuan from the Pharmacist Hall had been waiting for him.


    Seeing Lin Yuan, Yang Xiaotian was surprised, wondering if he hade for the Pharmacist Competition again.


    ¡°Congrattions to Young Master Yang onprehending the three Stone Swords,¡± Lin Yuan greeted from afar with a smile as he saw Yang Xiaotian return and saluted with a fist.


    Yang Xiaotian returned the salute with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Hall Master Lin,¡± and then invited Lin Yuan to sit inside the mansion.


    Lin Yuan happily epted the invitation and entered the mansion, ¡°Then I shall impose on the young master.¡±


    The two seated themselves in the front hall, where Ate and Ali served them premium Spiritual Tea. Lin Yuan took a sip, and his eyes suddenly widened. He then took a big gulp, followed by a thirdrge sip, and then a fourth.


    After finishing his tea, Lin Yuan felt utterly refreshed and couldn¡¯t help but ask


    Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master Yang, where did you buy this Spiritual Tea?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and replied, ¡°I blended it myself. If Hall Master Lin likes it, I will send a pound back with youter.¡±


    Lin Yuan hastily stood up, saluted with his fist to thank Yang Xiaotian, and then broached the topic of the Pharmacist Competition.


    ¡°Rest assured, Hall Master Lin, I will participate,¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled and said.


    Since the first prize of the Pharmacist Competition offered cultivation time in the Medicine Pool, it was not a bad idea to participate.


    Most importantly, Hu Xing was also participating.


    Since Hu Xing was participating, he had even more reason to do so.


    He still vividly remembered, just over a month ago, in front of the academy gates, Hu Xing had called him brainless.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian confirm his participation made Lin Yuan very happy. He said, ¡°Thank you, Young Master Yang. With you participating, this Pharmacist Competition will surely be extraordinarily exciting. ¡±


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and replied with a smile, ¡°I should be thanking you, Hall Master Lin.¡± Looking at Lin Yuan before him, an idea struck him, and he asked, ¡°Hall Master Lin, do you know about the Divine me?¡±


    Lin Yuan was taken aback, then smiled and said, ¡°1 know a thing or two about the Divine me.¡± Looking at Yang Xiaotian, he continued, ¡°Is Young Master Yang interested in the Divine me? However, it is incredibly powerful and domineering, and even if one knows where it resides, no one has ever been able to tame it.¡±


    ¡°Does Hall Master Lin know where the Divine me is?¡± Yang Xiaotian immediately asked.


    Lin Yuan shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but there is someone who probably does.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest was piqued, ¡°May I know whom Hall Master Lin is referring to?¡±


    ¡°He is Chen Changqing, the Sword Hall Elder of your Divine Sword Academy and also the first master of your academy.¡± Lin Yuan did not hold back and shared, ¡°He has researched the Divine me the most. However, he has been secluded in the Sword Hall,prehending the supreme Sword Dao for many years, and it won¡¯t be easy for you to meet him.¡± ¡°Unless you can fullyprehend ten Stone Swords.¡±


    ¡°Ten Stone Swords?¡± Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    Lin Yuan nodded, ¡°That is a rule of your Divine Sword Academy, only those who haveprehended more than ten Stone Swords can meet the five Great


    Elders of the Sword Hall.¡±


    More than ten Stone Swords, huh? It seems he needed to speed up hisprehension, Yang Xiaotian mused.

    Therefore, early the next day, Yang Xiaotian came to the Academy Repository to exchange for the Secret Tome.


    After exchanging for the Secret Tome, he went straight to the Hundred Swords za.


    At this time, dawn was breaking, and there were already many students practicing their swordsmanship at the Divine Sword Academy. Seeing Yang Xiaotian heading straight for the Hundred Swords za, they all stopped their training in excitement and followed.


    Yang Xiaotian went directly to the fourth Stone Sword at Hundred Swords za and began toprehend it.


    Soon, astonishing Sword Qi pierced the tranquility of the morning.


    Before long, Hundred Swords za was packed with people.


    An hourter.


    Yang Xiaotian had thoroughlyprehended the fourth Stone Sword.


    Just when everyone thought it was over, Yang Xiaotian walked straight toward the fifth Stone Sword.


    ¡°Could Yang Xiaotian be nning to continueprehending the fifth Stone Sword?¡± a student muttered in surprise.


    In the crowd, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan exchanged nces, equally incredulous.


    Previously, for Yang Xiaotian toprehend one Stone Sword in a day was already regarded as a shocking and outrageous feat, and now he was intending toprehend two Stone Swords in one day?! This was more than shocking and outrageous.


    Simply, simply!


    The two of them did not know how to describe it.


    ¡°This, won¡¯t there be any problems?¡± Seeing Yang Xiaotian approaching the fifth Stone Sword, Chen Yuan couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    Yang Xiaotian had just finishedprehending the fourth Stone Sword and was now moving on to the fifth; he was truly frightened that Yang Xiaotian might be possessed by the Sword Qi.


    Lin Yong also looked worried.


    Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, Yang Xiaotian arrived in front of the fifth Stone Sword and started toprehend it directly.


    Everyone held their breath.


    Quickly, the Sword Qi surged skyward once more.


    ¡°He actually seeded!¡± Yang Xiaotian activated the Sword Qi world within the fifth Stone Sword, and everyone¡¯s heart shook violently.


    ¡°This, is he even human?¡± Many students had a dazed expression on their faces.


    Following Yang Xiaotian¡¯s continuousprehension of the Stone Swords over the past few days, many students at the Divine Sword Academy now saw him as an almost divine being.


    Some students had even taken to not referring to Yang Xiaotian by his name, but as ¡°Divine Yang.¡±


    Originally extremely worried, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were now overjoyed upon seeing Yang Xiaotian genuinely seed inprehending the fifth Stone Sword.


    Chen Yuan touched his heart and with a smile said to Lin Yong, ¡°These days,


    my old heart has be increasingly fragile.¡±


    Thisment was not an exaggeration.


    During these days of Yang Xiaotian¡¯sprehension of the Stone Swords, he had been extremely anxious, constantly frightened that Yang Xiaotian would be counterattacked by the Sword Qi.


    Lin Yong alsoughed and said, ¡°It seems we¡¯ll have to practice some sort of heart-strengthening technique in the future.¡±


    The two of themughed.


    The fifth Stone Sword was known as the ¡°Wild Thunder Sword.¡±


    An hourter, Yang Xiaotian did not disappoint and had fullyprehended the fifth Stone Sword.


    Just as Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were about to approach Yang Xiaotian with beaming smiles, they saw him walking directly toward the sixth Stone Sword.


    Lin Yong was stunned, Chen Yuan was stunned.


    Cao Lu and the rest of the teachers and students were stunned.


    ¡°He¡¯s going toprehend the sixth Stone Sword!¡± someone uttered with a trembling voice.


    Toprehend the sixth Stone Sword!


    Yang Xiaotian was nning toprehend three Stone Swords in one day!


    Not just two!


    As Lin Yong and Chen Yuan watched Yang Xiaotian walk toward the sixth Stone Sword, their minds exploded.


    ¡°Three swords in one day! He¡¯s going to make history at the Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    ¡°If he can trulyprehend three swords in one day, he is a god!¡±


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure, many students¡¯ eyes zed with uncontroble fervor.


    For many of them,prehending even one Stone Sword in their lifetime was an impossible feat, yet Yang Xiaotian, if he were toprehend three swords in one day, would be nothing short of a god!


    Yang Xiaotian arrived in front of the sixth Stone Sword, surrounded by zealous gazes, yet he remained inwardly calm and quickly immersed himself in the Sword Qi world of the sixth Stone Sword.


    As Yang Xiaotian began toprehend the sixth Stone Sword, the previously vibrating za fell silent.


    The hearts of Lin Yong and Chen Yuan thumped uncontrobly.


    At that moment, time seemed to stretch into an eternity.


    All eyes were fixated on Yang Xiaotian.


    Suddenly, the sixth Stone Sword hummed, and a burst of Sword Qi sprayed forth.


    Seeing the erupting Sword Qi, and after an initial hush, the za exploded into noise, with nearly all the teachers and students raising their arms and cheering.


    Even Lin Yong and Chen Yuan shouted with glee.


    ¡°He¡¯s seeded!¡±


    The sixth Stone Sword,prehension achieved!


    When they saw Yang Xiaotian sessfullyprehend the sixth Stone Sword, joy and excitement erupted from deep within the hearts of everyone at the Divine Sword Academy.


    Although it wasn¡¯t they who hadprehended the sword, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sess was the glory of the entire Divine Sword Academy at that moment!


    Yang Xiaotian, immersed in the Sword Qi world of the sixth Stone Sword, did not hear the cheers of the outside world.


    Meanwhile, the gathered pharmacists in the Pharmacist Hall, including Lin Yuan, were dumbstruck by the continuous Sword Qi emanating from the Divine Sword Academy.


    ¡°This little guy, he¡¯s not aiming toprehend seven swords in one day, is


    he?¡± Lin Yuan muttered in disbelief.


    Yesterday, it was merely an offhand remark when he said thatprehending ten Stone Swords would warrant a meeting with Chen Changqing. He hadn¡¯t expected this youngster to be so determined as toprehend several swords in a row today!


    Who would have thought that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tireless efforts toprehend the Stone Swords today were just to meet Chen Changqing!


    All to learn the location of the Divine me from Chen Changqing.


    Beyond the shock, Lin Yuan shook his head, knowing the location of the Divine me was one thing, but subduing it was another¡ªno one could tame the Divine me.


    Even the Empire Great Emperor of the Divine Dragon Empire couldn¡¯t tame the Divine me, let alone Yang Xiaotian!


    Putting aside the various powers in Divine Sword City that were stirred by the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Qi, an hourter, Yang Xiaotian finallyprehended the sixth Stone Sword through and through.


    When Yang Xiaotianprehended the sixth Stone Sword and emerged from the Sword World, the entire za erupted into cheers.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian! Divine Yang!¡± Suddenly, a student called out excitedly.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    More and more students began shouting with excitement.


    Watching the frantic and excited crowd, even Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were taken aback.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, remained calm and approached the seventh Stone Sword.


    As Yang Xiaotian moved in front of the seventh Stone Sword, the previously cheering crowd suddenly fell silent, paused for a moment, and then the thunderous chants of ¡°Divine Yang¡± rose again.


    The voice of ¡°Divine Yang¡± echoed like thunder, resounding throughout the Divine Sword Academy.


    Yang Xiaotian remained calm as still water, shutting out the noise of the outside world, and continued toprehend the seventh Stone Sword.


    An hourter.


    Yang Xiaotian began toprehend the eighth Stone Sword.


    Two hourster, Yang Xiaotian started toprehend the tenth Stone Sword.


    Once the tenth Stone Sword wasprehended, he would be able to meet Chen Changqing.


    Standing in front of the tenth Stone Sword, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze was fixed solely on it.


    Time slipped by.


    Another hourter, Yang Xiaotian had fullyprehended the tenth Stone


    Sword, and once again, the area was submerged in the wild cheers of ¡°Divine


    Yang.¡±


    Havingprehended all ten swords, Yang Xiaotian sighed with relief. Instead of continuing, he headed towards Lin Yong and Chen Yuan..

 Chapter 53 - 53 Can you perform it once for us to see?

    Chapter 53: Can you perform it once for us to see?


    Trantor: 549690339


    As Yang Xiaotian approached Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan excitedly embraced Yang Xiaotian, choking up with emotion, ¡°My boy, thank you!¡±


    How fortunate was the Divine Sword Academy to have such a student as Yang Xiaotian!


    Yang Xiaotian, however, said, ¡°Dean Chen, you¡¯re squeezing me too tight.¡± Everyone around them fell over in a heap.


    Ovee with excitement, Chen Yuan hurriedly released Yang Xiaotian, scared he might have hurt him.


    ¡°Dean Lin, doesn¡¯t the academy have a rule that those whoprehend more than ten Stone Swords can meet the five Great Elders of the Sword Hall?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked Lin Yong.


    Lin Yong was taken aback, then said with a smile, ¡°Yes, we will take you to meet the five Elders right now.¡± With that, he and Chen Yuan led Yang Xiaotian into the Inner Court.


    The Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Outer and Inner Courts.


    Only after passing numerous assessments could an Outer Court student be an Inner Court student.


    Generally, only faculty and Inner Court students could enter and exit the Inner Court.


    Along the way, Inner Court students looked at Yang Xiaotian withplex expressions.


    The Inner Court, with its ancient trees and many buildings, exuded an aura of age-old history.


    On these buildings, traces of the sword were everywhere: Sword Techniques, Sword Runes, and cuts left by Sword Qi.


    Yang Xiaotian saw several tall statues.


    ¡°These four were the most talented swordsmen in our academy¡¯s history,¡± Lin Yong introduced the statues to Yang Xiaotian, saying, ¡°Each of themprehended sixty Stone Swords!¡±


    ¡°Sixty Stone Swords,¡± Yang Xiaotian marveled.


    For academy students,prehending a single Stone Sword was already impressive, ten was the mark of a prodigy, but these four hadprehended sixty!


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Chen Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Anyone whoprehends sixty Stone Swords can have their statue erected here for all students to admire. This person is none other than our second Academy Head, Lord Guo Jia.¡± He pointed to one of the statues, ¡°Heprehended seventy-seven Stone Swords!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    Seventy-seven Stone Swords!


    Lin Yong looked at the statue of Guo Jia, filled with emotion, ¡°He is also the person whoprehended the most Stone Swords in our academy.¡± The most in the academy?


    That meant that no one had ever fullyprehended all one hundred Stone Swords of the Hundred Swords za.


    ¡°I wonder how many Stone Swords Elder Chen Changqing hasprehended?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.


    Chen Changqing, currently the top expert of the Divine Sword Academy, was someone Yang Xiaotian was very curious about in terms of how many Stone Swords he hadprehended.


    ¡°Elder Chen Changqing hasprehended fifty-seven Stone Swords,¡± Lin Yong proudly stated.


    In the several hundred years of the Divine Sword Academy, only four people hadprehended sixty Stone Swords.


    And Chen Changqing, havingprehended fifty-seven Stone Swords, showed the height of his Sword Dao.


    ¡°Fifty-seven,¡± Yang Xiaotian mused quietly.


    That meant he was just three swords short.


    At that moment, Chen Yuan said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°However, if you canprehend thirty Stone Swords, you can be a Sword Hall Elder.


    Xiaotian, you must strive hard.¡±


    Lin Yong also said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right, if you can be a Sword Hall Elder, your status would be equal to mine as the dean. You would enjoy many resources that other students of the Divine Sword Academy can¡¯t ess, including freely browsing the secret tomes on the highest level of the Book Pavilion.¡±


    The highest level of the Academy Repository, housing numerous secret tomes, was not open to teachers and students of the academy; only Lin Yong and Chen Yuan had ess.


    Of course, if Yang Xiaotian became a Sword Hall Elder, he could freely enter the highest level of the Repository.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    A Sword Hall Elder, huh?


    If he truly could be an Elder of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Hall, that wouldn¡¯t be bad at all.


    Bearing the identity of a Sword Hall Elder of the Divine Sword Academy, things would be much more convenient, and in the future, people like Hu Xing and Cheng Beibei would all have to pay respects to him as an Elder.


    After a while, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan brought Yang Xiaotian to the Sword Hall.


    The Sword Hall was located in the deepest part of the Academy.


    The entire Sword Hall, from the outside, looked like a mountain.


    The entrance was at the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°Lin Yong has something to discuss with the five Elders,¡± Lin Yong announced loudly at the entrance after arriving.


    Inside the Sword Hall, Chen Changqing and the other four were studying a Sword Array when they suddenly heard Lin Yong¡¯s interruptive voice, which made them somewhat impatient.


    He Le was even more upset, rebuking, ¡°Let it out if you¡¯re going to fart.¡±


    Lin Yong gave a wry smile, but he was well aware of Elder He Le¡¯s foul temper and was not angry, he straightened his tone and said, ¡°There¡¯s a student in the Academy who hasprehended all ten Stone Swords. Lin Yong has brought him to meet the five Elders.¡±


    Chen Changqing and the others immediately stopped what they were doing.


    ¡°After decades, a student has finallyprehended all ten Stone Swords,¡± spoke Chen Changqing from within, his voice filled with gratification. He asked, ¡°May I know which Inner Court student it is?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not an Inner Court student, but a first-year freshman from our Academy,¡± Lin Yong quickly said.


    ¡°What, a first-year freshman?!¡± Chen Changqing and He Le eximed in unison, and almost at the same time, five figures burst out from the Inner Hall, bringing with them a terrifying surge of sword waves.


    Yang Xiaotian just felt a sh before his eyes, and the five elders had already appeared in front of them.


    The five of them, four men and one woman, all looked at Yang Xiaotian with an incredible gaze.


    ¡°Do you mean to tell me this child took a little over a month toprehend all ten Stone Swords?¡± Chen Changqing asked Lin Yong.


    It had been a little over a month since the term started, and Chen Changqing and the others assumed that Yang Xiaotian had taken that time toprehend all ten Stone Swords.


    A little over a month, ten Stone Swords! Such speed left Chen Changqing and the others utterly shocked.


    Chen Changqing prided himself on his unparalleled swordsmanship but had taken seven years toprehend all ten Stone Swords back in his day.


    Lin Yong shook his head and said, ¡°No, Xiaotian only took four days toprehend the ten Stone Swords.¡±


    Four days!


    Chen Changqing, He Le, and the others seemed to stiffen as if struck by the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder.


    ¡°No, impossible!¡± He Le trembled as if he had had a stroke, his hands shaking.


    ¡°Four days? Did you say four days?¡±


    Despite knowing that Lin Yong would not joke about such a matter, Chen Changqing and the others still found it preposterous.


    ¡°Child, can you demonstrate the Stone Sword Technique you¡¯veprehended for us?¡± Chen Changqing asked, looking at the exquisite boy in front of him. He tried to sound calm, but despite decades ofposure, his voice just couldn¡¯t settle.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and walked onto an open space in front of the Sword Hall, swinging out with his long sword in hand.


    All at once, the sword qi was as the sun.


    What Yang Xiaotian was exhibiting was precisely the ¡°Fiery Sun Sword Technique¡±; from a distance, the utterly masculine sword qi seemed to carry a sun that was rising and setting within it.


    Witnessing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Fiery Sun Sword Technique, Chen Changqing and the others were astounded: ¡°Great Aplishment Realm!¡±


    Initially, they thought that even if Yang Xiaotian couldprehend the Stone Swords, it would have been just the basics.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Fiery Sun Sword Technique was actually at the Great Aplishment Realm!


    Even Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were taken aback, not having expected that Yang Xiaotian would be able to cultivate the Fiery Sun Sword Technique to the Great Aplishment Realm in just a few short days.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian finished disying the Fiery Sun Sword Technique, and then he began to exhibit the ¡°Cold Moon Sword Technique.¡±


    Suddenly, snowkes began to drift out of nowhere.


    Amidst the crisscrossing sword qi, it seemed as if a cold moon hung high.


    Chen Changqing and the others were so stunned they were at a loss for words; it was another Great Aplishment Realm!

    After performing the Cold Moon Sword Technique, he proceeded to the Earth Sword.


    Yang Xiaotian leaped into the air and with a sword stroke that seemed toe from nowhere.


    Suddenly, a towering Sword Qi appeared.


    The Sword Qi passed through, as if dividing heaven and earth into two halves.


    Again, it was the Great Aplishment Realm!


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian sessively disyed the ¡°Life-Giving Sword¡± and the ¡°Wild Thunder Sword,¡± not long after, he had performed them all.


    To the relief of Chen Changqing and He Le, the subsequent seven sets of sword techniques that Yang Xiaotian disyed did not reach the realm of Great Aplishment, but were merely at the peak of the rudimentary level.


    At this point, Lin Yong said, ¡°Thest seven sets of sword techniques were justprehended by Xiaotian today.¡±


    Chen Changqing and He Le were struck dumb.


    ¡°Are you saying heprehended a total of seven Stone Swords today?¡± This time, He Le¡¯s legs were trembling.


    ¡± yes, rrom rms mormng until now, ne nas Deenprenenamg one stone Sword every hour,¡± Chen Yuan said excitedly.


    Chen Changqing and the others looked at Yang Xiaotian in front of them as if he were a super monster.


    Then they were all extremely excited.


    ¡°The Heavens bless our Divine Sword Academy!¡± Chen Changqing cried out with great emotion looking up at the sky.


    It¡¯s no wonder he was so excited; as a master of Sword Dao, he certainly knew how important a person¡¯s Sword Dao talent was.


    Yang Xiaotian, with such Sword Dao talent, was bound to be a supreme powerhouse that dominated the contemporary world!


    At this moment, Lin Yong hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°Senior Chen, we brought Xiaotian over, actually also hoping that you could help us check Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°Oh.¡± Chen Changqing heard the implications in Lin Yong¡¯s words, and said, ¡°There¡¯s a problem with Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Yong nodded, then exined the situation with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul to Chen Changqing and the others.


    After hearing this, Chen Changqing and the others were filled with shock and disbelief.


    However, all of them refused to believe that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was Level Two.


    A Level Two Martial Soul could not possibly possess such heaven-defying Sword Dao talent.


    ¡°Child, can you summon your Martial Soul for me to see?¡± Chen Changqing smiled at Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He released his Martial Soul.


    Instantly, a dark light surged incessantly.


    The surrounding heaven and earth seemed to fall into a dark abyss.


    Formidable power swept forth from the ck Tortoise and the ck Snake.


    Even Chen Changqing and the others felt a strong pressure and a chill.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were startled as they looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul, which had drastically changedpared to a month ago, and they discovered that the ck Snake was no longer coiled around the turtle shell, but separated from the Giant Tortoise!


    Separated?!


    ¡°Twin Martial Spirits!¡± Lin Yong and Chen Yuan shouted out in surprise, as they realized something.


    However, Chen Changqing and the rest were as if they hadn¡¯t heard the exmation of Lin Yong and Chen Yuan and moved forward to carefully examine Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    The more they looked, the more astonished they became.


    It was only after a long while that they stopped.


    ¡°Elder Chen, what do you think?¡± Lin Yong asked anxiously.


    Chen Changqing, seeing the nervous expressions on Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry, Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul is not Level Two.¡± He continued, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, his Giant Tortoise is the eleventh-level superior Martial Soul, the ck Sea Divine Turtle, and his ck Snake is the eleventh-level top-tier Martial Soul, the Nether Hell Snake.¡± ¡°He possesses Twin Super Martial Spirits. ¡±


    The eleventh-level superior Martial Soul, ck Sea Divine Turtle!


    The eleventh-level top-tier Martial Soul, Nether Hell Snake!


    Twin Super Martial Souls!


    Upon hearing Chen Changqing¡¯s result, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan trembled all over, their faces alight with shock and delight.


    ¡°Elder Chen, is this true?¡± Lin Yong felt as if happiness had descended from the heavens.


    Yang Xiaotian was not only not a second- grade Martial Soul, but also possessed Twin Super Martial Souls!


    One was an eleventh-grade high-level, the other even an eleventh-grade pinnacle!


    Chen Yuan was also thrilled to no end.


    ¡°It is true!¡± Chen Changqing saw the joyful expressions of Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, and smiled: ¡°Not all Giant Tortoise Martial Souls are second-grade.


    However, the ck Sea Divine Turtle Martial Soul is extremely rare. In the Martial Soul World now, probably only Xiaotian possesses it. It¡¯s normal for you not to recognize it.¡±


    ¡°I remember, more than a thousand years ago, there was a master whose Martial Soul was the ck Sea Divine Turtle.¡±


    ¡°However, he was not from the Divine Dragon Empire; he was a master from another empire.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    Because only he knew that his Martial Soul was not of the eleventh-grade Supreme tier, but of the fourteenth-grade Supreme Martial Spirit.


    ¡°From today onward, Xiaotian will be a Son of Sword Hall,¡± Chen Changqing said to Lin Yong and Chen Yuan: ¡°He will henceforth have free ess to the Sword Hall.¡± Then, with a beaming smile to Yang Xiaotian, he added, ¡°Child, should you have any questions about the Sword Dao, feel free toe to us anytime, understand?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and said, ¡°Elder Chen, actually I have a question for you today.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Chen Changqing looked surprised, then with a smile, ¡°I wonder what the question is? As long as I know the answer, I will most definitely tell you.¡±


    ¡°I heard that you have done much research on Divine me. Do you know where it is located?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Everyone was surprised.


    They had assumed that Yang Xiaotian would ask about swordsmanship, not about the Divine me.


    Chen Changqing hesitated for a moment, then said: ¡°I do indeed know where a certain Divine me is located, but that ce is far too dangerous.¡± He then solemnly advised Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Child, the Divine me is indeed of immeasurable power, but no one can tame it.¡±


    ¡°You should give up on this idea.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian pondered and asked, ¡°What would it take for Elder Chen to reveal its location?¡±


    Chen Changqing saw that Yang Xiaotian still wouldn¡¯t give up and pondered before saying, ¡°How about this: if you canprehend the thirtieth Stone Sword within a month, I will tell you where the Divine me is.¡±


    Comprehending the Stone Swords bes increasingly difficult the further one progresses.


    Although Yang Xiaotian was able toprehend seven Stone Swords within a single day, whether he couldprehend the thirtieth within a month was still uncertain.


    He wasn¡¯t intentionally making things hard for Yang Xiaotian; he just didn¡¯t want him to take the risk. The Divine Sword Academy had finally seen the emergence of such a Sword Dao genius, and he hoped Yang Xiaotian would not fall because of this.


    ¡°Agreed, it¡¯s a promise!¡± Yang Xiaotian replied immediately upon hearing this.


    Chen Changqing, looking at the confident young man before him, couldn¡¯t help but feel a tinge of regret, wondering if he had set the timeline too long. What if the child really couldprehend the thirtieth Stone Sword within a month?


    Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian, Lin Yong, and Chen Yuan left the Sword Hall.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian had left, news that he had be a Son of Sword Hall and possessed Twin Super Martial Souls quickly spread throughout the academy.


    Hu Xing, hearing the news, was dumbstruck for a long while:


    ¡°Yes, it is said that Elder Chen Changqing himself verified it. Yang Xiaotian¡¯s


    Giant Tortoise Martial Soul is the eleventh-grade high-level ck Sea Divine Turtle, and his ck Snake Martial Spirit has an even more extraordinary origin: the eleventh-grade pinnacle Nether Hell Snake!¡± Cheng Beibei said with a certain emotion.


    After Hu Xing heard this, he seemed to lose his soul.


    No matter how long Cheng Beibei called out, there was no response.


    And news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Twin Super Martial Spirits quickly reached the ears of Su Li at the Divine Sea Academy as well.


    Su Li, who had been training frantically and vowing to take revenge on Yang Xiaotian, sat there motionless after hearing the news.


    And news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Twin Super Martial Spirits also spread quickly among the various forces of Divine Sea Country.


    In the end, even the City Lord of Xingyue City, Zhang Tian, got wind of it. Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s parents lived within Xingyue City, he immediately shouted out: ¡°Quick, prepare generous gifts!¡±


    All the major ns within Xingyue City who learned of the news hurriedlymanded their people to prepare generous gifts.


    Even the families from the nearby cities all rushed to Xingyue City, solely to offer congrattions to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s parents, Yang Chao and Huang Ying.


    That morning, as Yang Chao had just woken up, he saw his subordinate, Sun Hua, rush in excitedly, shouting at the top of his lungs: ¡°Deputy Manor Lord, the City Lord himself hase to pay you a visit!¡±

 Chapter 55: Looking Up to the Sky with Tears of Excitement

    Chapter 55: Looking Up to the Sky with Tears of Excitement


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°What did you say? The City Lord himself ising to visit me?¡± Yang Chao stared at the excited Sun Hua, thinking he must have misheard.


    In the past, when he was in charge of the silk business at Yang Family Manor, it was difficult to even meet a minor steward under the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. The City Lord was high and mighty,pletely out of his reach.


    And now, he was actuallying to visit him?


    ¡°Yes, it is indeed the City Lord himself, absolutely certain!¡± Sun Hua¡¯s face flushed with excitement: ¡°The City Lord has brought many boxes of generous gifts, and they are nearly here!¡±


    ¡°Many boxes of generous gifts?!¡± Yang Chao and Huang Ying were even more baffled upon hearing this.


    When Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and a few others came out of the residence, they were stunned by the sight before them.


    They saw the City Lord of Xingyue City, Zhang Tian, leading a grand procession of guards, each carrying a box of generous gifts!


    There must have been dozens of boxes!


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying were dumbstruck.


    Only then did they realize the true meaning of ¡®many boxes¡¯ that Sun Hua had mentioned.


    ¡°Brother Yang Chao, I am Zhang Tian. I hope you can forgive my sudden visit,¡± Zhang Tian said, seeing Yang Chao and Huang Ying step out. He hurriedly saluted with a fist and smiled from afar, his warmth uncontainable.


    Hearing Zhang Tian refer to him with such warmth as a brother, Yang Chao was ttered and quickly stepped forward to greet him, saluting with a fist, ¡°City Lord, you are too polite. May I ask what this is about?¡±


    He couldn¡¯t understand why Zhang Tian, the esteemed City Lord of Xingyue City, would visit him, let alone with such an abundance of generous gifts.


    Just as Zhang Tian was about to speak, suddenly, from afar, another procession approached.


    The neers were the leading experts of Xingyue City¡¯s prominent Yao Family, headed by none other than Yao Ping, the family head, followed by all the Yao Family elders.


    Yao Ping, who controlled Xingyue City¡¯s inns and taverns, also brought dozens of boxes of gifts.


    ¡°Yao Ping, along with the members of the Yao Family, hase to extend congrattions to Brother Yang Chao!¡± Yao Ping also saluted with a greeting from afar, his enthusiasm and respectful smile even greater than Zhang Tian¡¯s.


    In Xingyue City, Yao Ping¡¯s status and position far exceeded Yang Ming from Yang Family Manor. Usually elusive as a dragon, the fact that he now joined Zhang Tian to offer congrattions left Yang Chaopletely baffled.


    At that moment, several more processions appeared simultaneously, led by the heads of Xingyue City¡¯s great families, each holding a status not inferior to Yao Ping.


    Finally, even Wen Jingyi from Wind Cloud Commerce Guild arrived with his entourage.


    Just as Yang Chao thought the arrivals had ceased, suddenly someone shouted,


    ¡°The City Lord of Dingfeng City hase to extend congrattions to Brother


    Yang Chao! ¡±


    Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and the others were taken aback.


    Dingfeng City!


    One of the cities surrounding Xingyue City.


    But Dingfeng City was evenrger than Xingyue City.


    And now, even the City Lord of Dingfeng City hade?


    ¡°The City Lord of ck Wind City hase to extend congrattions to Brother Yang Chao!¡±


    Suddenly, another voice shouted out.


    ck Wind City, like Dingfeng City, was one of the cities around Xingyue City.


    ¡°The Sect Leader of Heaven and Earth Sword Sect hase with his subordinates to extend congrattions to Brother Yang Chao!¡± another voice rang out.


    Upon hearing this, the crowd was astounded.


    Although the Heaven and Earth Sword Sect was not a superpower of the Divine Sea Country, it was still a first-ss sect, and its Sect Leader was a respected Martial King.


    And now, even a Martial King hade to congratte Yang Chao.


    After that, one City Lord after another, one family head after another, one Sect Master after another, all arrived with their followers.


    When no one else came, Yang Chao, looking at the mountain of gifts in front of him, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡®My friends, you havee to congratte me, but I am unaware of the happy asion you refer to?¡±


    At this time, Yang Ming and Yang Hai, needing to purchase some items, were entering Xingyue City, but as soon as they entered, they noticed that Xingyue City was different than before. The entire city was bustling as if preparing for some grand celebration, making them extremely curious.


    Driven by their curiosity, they asked passersby what had happened.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know? Early this morning, our Xingyue City, Dingfeng City, and ck Wind City¡¯s lords, along with the surrounding major families and sects, all came to give their congrattions to Lord Yang Chao, ¡± the bystander said excitedly.


    Lord Yang Chao?


    Yang Ming and Yang Hai were startled and skeptical. Could it be someone with the same name?


    ¡°Why would the city lords and major families, sects want to congratte Yang


    Chao?¡± Yang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Lord Yang Chao¡¯s son, Yang Xiaotian, possesses Twin Super Martial Spirits!¡± the passerby eximed with great excitement.


    ¡°What, Yang Xiaotian, Twin Super Martial Spirits?!¡± Yang Ming and Yang Hai were as if struck by lightning.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Yang Hai suddenly screamed, agitatedly saying, ¡°That waste,


    Yang Xiaotian, how could he possibly have Twin Super Martial Spirits!¡±


    Seeing how agitated Yang Hai was, the bystander was somewhat surprised and exined, ¡°It¡¯s said that the Elder from Divine Sword Academy re-evaluated Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul. One is something like the ck Sea Divine Turtle


    Martial Soul, and the other is the Nether Hell Snake, both are level eleven


    Supreme Martial Spirits!¡±


    ¡°Not only that, but Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent in Sword Dao is unparalleled. In the Divine Sword Academy, no student has understood the Stone Sword for many years, yet Yang Xiaotian hasprehended seven Stone Swords in one day!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s precisely what alerted the five Great Elders of Divine Sword Academy!¡±


    ¡°Now, he has been conferred as the Son of Sword Hall!¡±


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, he is extraordinary. Many say that he will soon be the number one expert in Divine Sea Country!¡±


    The bystander spoke with spittle flying.


    Yang Ming and Yang Hai listened with their minds thundering incessantly.


    So much so that they did not clearly hear what the passerby said next.


    The number one expert in Divine Sea Country?!


    Understanding seven Stone Swords in one day!


    Twin level eleven Supreme Martial Spirits!


    They stood there as if soulless, not moving for a long time.


    At this moment, the Lord of Xingyue City, Zhang Tian, and others had also informed Yang Chao about the situation regarding Yang Xiaotian.


    After hearing it, Yang Chao and Huang Ying felt as if they were in a dream.


    ¡°Ying¡¯er, our son, Xiaotian, he has Twin Super Martial Spirits?¡± Yang Chao suddenly burst into tears, looking up to the sky and crying excitedly, ¡°Heaven has eyes! My son, Yang Chao¡¯s son, he has Twin Super Martial Spirits! He¡¯s not just a level two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul!¡±


    Huang Ying also cried a river of tears.


    They were happy, happy for their son, and happy for themselves.


    After a night of cultivation, Yang Xiaotian went to the Academy Repository once more, but this time he did not exchange for any Innate Secret Tomes, instead returning the tomes he had.


    Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to understand the Stone Swords, but stayed in the Book Pavilion to browse other Innate Top Martial Techniques.


    Exchanging for a new Secret Tome each time was too much of a hassle, so he decided to read all of these Innate Top Martial Techniques at once, memorize them, and then practice them all in one go when he got back.


    For two days straight, Yang Xiaotian stayed inside the Book Pavilion, and after two days, he had finally read through the nearly one hundred Innate Top Martial Techniques that remained.


    After finishing, Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes, and recalled all the Innate Top Martial Techniques he had read over the past two days, practicing them in his mind.


    Once he was sure he had fullyprehended them, Yang Xiaotian left the Book Pavilion and started heading towards Hundred Swords za.


    This time, he intended toprehend the Stone Swords up to the thirtieth, and then obtain the whereabouts of the Divine Fire from Chen Changqing¡¯s


    mouth..

 Chapter 56: The Talking Medicine Cauldron

    Chapter 56: The Talking Medicine Cauldron


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian arrived in front of the eleventh Stone Sword.


    Soon, the Sword Qi soared to the sky.


    After two days, the people of Divine Sword City once again witnessed the long-missed Sword Qi.


    Seeing the Sword Qi reappear between Heaven and Earth, Gu Zhigang, the City


    Lord of Divine Sword City, was full of expectation, ¡°I wonder how many Stone Swords this young fellow willprehend this time.¡±


    The experts of Divine Sword City, standing behind Peng Zhigang, struggled to remainposed as they looked at the soaring Sword Qi.


    Two days ago, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended seven great Stone Swords in one day, and the scene with the ten million strands of Sword Qi lingering in the Nine Heavens was still shaking everyone¡¯s hearts.


    A few days earlier, their City Lord said that in ten years, Yang Xiaotian would be the number one expert in Divine Sea Country. They didn¡¯t believe it, but now, no one doubted it any longer.


    Inside the Sword Hall, upon hearing the news, Elder Chen Changqing, He Le, and the other three elders all came out from the depths of the Sword Hall and stood at the entrance, looking at the soaring Sword Qi.


    ¡°This child has finally begunprehending the Stone Swords again,¡± He Le said with a mix of surprise and emotion as he watched the soaring Sword Qi, ¡°If Lord Guo Jia were still here, seeing Xiaotian, I wonder what he would think.¡±


    In the past, Guo Jiaprehended seventy-seven Stone Swords but always failed toprehend the seventy-eighth. He eventually left the Divine Sword Academy, saying he would returnter toprehend the seventy-eighth


    Stone Sword.


    But once he left, he never returned.


    ¡°Xiaotian might surpass Lord Guo Jia within three years,¡± Chen Changqing said with satisfaction, ¡°In five years, he might even finishprehending all one hundred Stone Swords.¡±


    The inheritance of Sword Dao at the Hundred Swords za actually involved the most profound secret of Divine Sword Academy.


    Thinking about Yang Xiaotian eventuallyprehending all one hundred Stone Swords, Chen Changqing and the others felt their hearts tremble.


    ording to the academy¡¯s rules,prehending thirty Stone Swords would qualify one to be a Sword Hall Elder, but what others did not know was that if a student couldprehend all one hundred Stone Swords, they would be the Master of the Sword Hall!


    And then they would receive the inheritance of the Sword Hall!


    ¡°However, what if Xiaotian really manages toprehend the thirtieth Stone Sword within a month?¡± asked Elder Ren Feixue, the third Elder and the only female among them.


    Chen Changqing shook his head, ¡°Starting from the eleventh Stone Sword, the difficulty ofprehension doubles. It¡¯s possible that Yang Xiaotian could reach the twentieth Stone Sword within a month, butprehending the thirtieth within a month is almost impossible.¡±


    Just as Chen Changqing had said, starting from the eleventh Stone Sword, the difficulty ofprehension significantly increased. Compared to before, Yang Xiaotian¡¯sprehension of the eleventh Stone Sword was much slower.


    However, even so, Yang Xiaotian still managed toprehend the eleventh Stone Sword after two hours.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian began toprehend the twelfth Stone Sword. The thirteenth, the fourteenth, the fifteenth!


    In less than a day, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the twentieth Stone Sword.


    Seeing this result, Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and the others were dumbfounded.


    This oue far exceeded everyone¡¯s initial judgment and spection.


    ¡°I have greatly underestimated Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent,¡± Chen Changqing said with a wry smile.


    At this rate, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even need a month to fullyprehend thirty Stone Swords.


    Thinking of the Divine me, Chen Changqing¡¯s brow furrowed.


    From the twenty-first Stone Sword onward, the difficulty ofprehension doubled once again.


    Nevertheless, within less than two days, Yang Xiaotian still managed toprehend the thirtieth Stone Sword.


    Afterprehending thirty Stone Swords, Yang Xiaotian rxed his entire being.


    Without taking the time to rest, he proceeded to the Sword Hall.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, Chen Changqing gave a wry smile.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I haveprehended thirty Stone Swords, and I hope you can tell me the location of the Divine me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said politely with a salute.


    Chen Changqing hesitated for a while before finally sighing, ¡°Well, since you¡¯re so persistent about the Divine me, I will tell you.¡± Then he said, ¡°I know that the Thunder Tribtion Divine me is in the Red Moon Forest.¡±


    ¡°Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    Currently, more than thirty kinds of Divine mes are known.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire ranks very high among them, at fourteenth.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!¡± Chen Changqing said, ¡°Back in the day when I was traveling in Red Moon Forest, I entered the Heavenly Tribtion Cave and saw the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion Cave!¡± Yang Xiaotian seemed to have read about the Heavenly Tribtion Cave in some books.


    ¡°Yes, the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.¡± Chen Changqing spoke with aplex expression, ¡°Legend has it that a supreme warrior was breaking through to the Martial God Realm in the Red Moon Forest when the heavenly tribtion descended, sting a bottomless pit into the ground, which over long years, formed the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.¡±


    ¡°Despite the passage of time, for some reason, the force of the heavenly tribtion persists within the cave.¡±


    ¡°The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire is located somewhere inside the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.¡±


    Chen Changqing cautioned Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, though your Sword Dao talent is exceptional, your strength is too weak. You simply can¡¯t enter the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, and even if you could, you definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to tame the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.¡±


    Then he shook his head and said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t go!¡±


    But Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°Elder Chen, is there really no one in the world who can tame a Divine me?¡±


    Chen Changqing nodded, his face very grave, ¡°Divine mes can burn everything in heaven and earth, even warriors as powerful as Martial Gods cannot tame them.¡±


    A heaviness settled in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    Even Martial Gods can¡¯t tame them?


    It seemed that his previous thoughts had been too naive.


    After a while, Yang Xiaotian left the Sword Hall and returned to his residence, but he was still thinking about the Divine me.


    Now that he knew where the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire was located, but couldn¡¯t tame it, he felt truly unwilling to ept it.


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not impossible for you to tame the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire,¡± suddenly, a voice sounded from within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind.


    The voice was abrupt, and Yang Xiaotian was startled, ¡°Who?!¡± He sprang to his feet and searched the courtyard, but he saw no one.


    ¡°Hehe.¡± At that moment, the voice continued in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind, ¡°You don¡¯t need to look; I am in your hand.¡±


    In my hand?!


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, then looked at the Medicine Cauldron on his finger.


    Could it be?


    ¡°Is it you?!¡± Yang Xiaotian was incredulous.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me,¡± the voice of the Medicine Cauldron continued to resonate.


    Yang Xiaotian found it unbelievable.


    He had never imagined that a Medicine Cauldron could actually speak.


    ¡°When things of heaven and earth reach a certain realm, they all have spirit intelligence. It¡¯s not strange that I can speak,¡± the Medicine Cauldron said.


    Yang Xiaotian was still struggling toe to terms with it; the Medicine Cauldron had been obtained by Hong Feng in a perilous ce, and even Hong Feng didn¡¯t know its origin. Until now, aside from using it for alchemy and storage, Yang Xiaotian had never considered that the Medicine Cauldron might possess spirit intelligence.


    Is it a Divine Artifact?


    ¡°A Divine Artifact?¡± the Medicine Cauldron made a scoffing sound, ¡°You¡¯re really underestimating Master Ding, how could something as lowly as a Divine


    Artifactpare to my standing.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart pounded furiously.


    This Medicine Cauldron was even more powerful than a Divine Artifact?


    ¡°If you want to tame the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, I can help you.¡± At this point, the Medicine Cauldron spoke in a very imposing manner, ¡°As long as I take action, the mere Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire is nothing to fuss over.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart surged with joy.


    ¡°However,¡± the Medicine Cauldron paused, then continued, ¡°in return, you will need to help me find some things.¡±

 Chapter 57 - 57 Sword Rain Profusion

    Chapter 57: Sword Rain Profusion


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Searching for something?!¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    What could Medicine Cauldron possibly be looking for?


    ¡°What you¡¯re looking for, you¡¯ll know once we reach the Heavenly Tribtion Cave,¡± Medicine Cauldron said.


    A thought struck Yang Xiaotian.


    Could it be that Medicine Cauldron was looking for something rted to the heavenly tribtion?


    Yet with Medicine Cauldron¡¯s reassurance, Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat more confident about subduing the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    But Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t in a hurry to head to the Red Moon Forest, choosing instead to practice in seclusion at his home.


    He practiced the thirty sets of Stone Sword techniques that he had just begun to grasp.


    He also drilled in the Innate Top Martial Techniques he had browsed through in the Academy Repository these past two days.


    Before he knew it, a month had passed.


    Finally, he had achieved great aplishment in all thirty sets of the Stone Sword Technique.


    All the Innate Top Martial Techniques from the Book Pavilion had also reached the realm of great aplishment.


    In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian unleashed a strike with the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand.


    ¡°The sixth move, Rain of Swords.¡±


    Instantly, the courtyard was awash in a torrential rain of swords.


    The sixth move of Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, Rain of Swords, seemed gentle but was in fact more deadly than any of the previous strikes.


    After practicing the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique for a while and seeing that it was getting dark, Yang Xiaotian stopped.


    A short whileter, after informing Luo Qing and Ate of his intention to enter the Red Moon Forest, they responded in surprise, ¡°Master is going to the Red Moon Forest?¡±


    The Red Moon Forest was teeming with fierce beasts and poisonous creatures; it was a very dangerous ce.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, nning to subjugate the Divine me within the Red Moon Forest.


    ¡°We should go with the master,¡± said Luo Qing and Ate without hesitation.


    Yang Xiaotian knew they were worried about him, but he only chose to bring Luo Qing with him.


    And when Xiao Jin learned that Yang Xiaotian was setting out for the Red Moon


    Forest, it clung stubbornly to his leg. Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to let it shrink and tuck it into his pocket.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian and the others left their residence, Hu Xing received word.


    ¡°Sote? Where is Yang Xiaotian going?¡± Hu Xing was surprised. ¡°How many people did he take with him?¡±


    ¡°He only took Luo Qing,¡± Deng Yi said. ¡°I¡¯ve investigated; Luo Qing is a ve he bought, who used to be a Martial King Peak expert. But now his dantian is shattered; he¡¯s a cripple.¡±


    ¡°Are you sure Luo Qing¡¯s dantian is shattered?¡± Hu Xing suddenly asked.


    Deng Yi smirked, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what concerns you. I¡¯ve double-checked, Luo Qing¡¯s dantian is indeed shattered.¡± Then he continued, ¡°Judging by the direction Yang Xiaotian left in, it seems he¡¯s nning to leave the city. Should we make our move?


    Hu Xing hesitated.


    Originally, his n was to wait until the end-of-term hunting exam in the wilderness to take action.


    ¡°Senior Brother Hu, don¡¯t hesitate any longer. The longer we leave this Yang Xiaotian alone, the more troublesome he bes,¡± Deng Yi pressed. ¡°This is a rare opportunity. We need to deal with him as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Hu Xing pondered. ¡°But I don¡¯t trust others to do this job.¡±


    ¡°You should handle it personally.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t leave any traces behind,¡± Hu Xing instructed. ¡°When it¡¯s time, throw


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bodies to the fierce beasts, let them devour everything clean.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Thus, not long after Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing left their residence, Luo Qing realized someone was following them. Yang Xiaotian remained unfazed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him.¡±


    Once they had left Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing took to the mountain trails.


    Deng Yi saw Yang Xiaotian choose the mountain trails and smirked in disdain.


    However, as they weren¡¯t far from the city, he wasn¡¯t in a rush to act. After walking a while longer, Deng Yi finally couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. His long sword thrust furiously towards Yang Xiaotian.


    As an Innate tenfold practitioner, Deng Yi¡¯s sword was incredibly fast and reached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s back in an instant.


    Just when his sword was about to pierce through Yang Xiaotian, suddenly Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body slid away, avoiding the attack.


    Deng Yi¡¯s sword struck the air.


    His face was filled with astonishment; his confident strike had unbelievably missed!


    Just then, suddenly, a sword thrust in from below his ribs.


    The sword glow was harsh and cold.


    Deng Yi¡¯s face changed dramatically, and he raised his sword to block.


    But he was still half a step too slow.


    Several streaks of sword light shed by, piercing above his ribs.


    With a muffled grunt, Deng Yi felt an intense pain, fell backward, and staggered several steps before he managed to stop. He looked at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.


    The one who had just attacked and injured him¡­ was actually Yang Xiaotian!


    He was at the tenth level of the Innate stage!


    And he had been wounded by Yang Xiaotian, whose Martial Soul had only recently awakened.


    He touched the area around his ribs, which was soaked with blood.


    Blood had already stained half of his body red.


    ¡°You¡¯re not at the fifth level of the Acquired stage?!¡± Deng Yi eximed in shock.


    ¡°Who told you I was at the titth level ot the Acquired stage¡±¡® Yang Xiaotian replied with a cold smile, no longer hiding his strength. The energy of the peak of the fifth level of the Innate stage rolled out from him.


    ¡°Peak of the Innate Fifth Level!¡± Deng Yi cried out, his face filled with horror.


    Yang Xiaotian, a new student at the academy, was actually an Innate Grandmaster!


    Not only an Innate Grandmaster but also at the peak of the fifth level!


    This, this¡ª!


    Deng Yi found it hard to believe.


    Yang Xiaotian looked indifferently at the other party. ¡°You¡¯re Deng Yi from the


    Inner Court, aren¡¯t you? Did Hu Xing send you to kill me? Your Phantom Sword


    Technique is not bad; it¡¯s just a pity that you haven¡¯t mastered it yet.¡±


    Deng Yi had used the Phantom Sword Technique, which was at the Great Aplishment Realm, when he attempted to assassinate him.


    Just as Luo Qing was about to intervene, Yang Xiaotian raised his hand to stop him: ¡°No need, I¡¯ll do it.¡± He wanted to use Deng Yi to practice his swordsmanship.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian approaching, Deng Yi, after his initial shock, took a deep breath, suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and burst outughing coldly: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve hidden yourself well, reaching the peak of the Innate Fifth Level. However, I refuse to believe that I, who am at the tenth level of the Innate stage, can¡¯t kill one at the fifth level!¡±


    Despite Yang Xiaotian¡¯s exceptional swordsmanship, there was a gap of five whole minor realms between them.


    Deng Yi did not believe Yang Xiaotian could truly beat him, attributing his previous injury to his own carelessness.


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently. Suddenly, his figure flickered like a ghost, and in an instant, he was in front of Deng Yi. The Heaven-Prating Divine Sword appeared in his hand.


    He thrust his sword forward.


    Deng Yi saw a dazzling rain of swords.


    The sword rain fell from the sky, so resplendent, so gentle.


    He had never seen such a beautiful sword rain.


    After a brief moment of distraction, Deng Yi came to his senses, hisplexion changing drastically as he wildly swung his longsword toward the sky, formingyers andyers of a sword screen, trying to fend off the dazzling sword rain.


    But it was to no avail. The seemingly gentle, harmless sword rain prated his sword screen in an instant, then continuously bombarded his body.


    The moment Deng Yi was hit, his body was in so much pain that he lost all sensation, but soon after, the rain of swords abruptly stopped.


    His body was now riddled with dense sword holes.


    Blood poured out from the sword wounds incessantly.


    Deng Yi struggled to breathe, looking at Yang Xiaotian with fear in his eyes. His voice was hoarse as he asked, ¡®What swordsmanship is this?¡± There was no such swordsmanship in the academy.


    ¡°Heaven-Prating Sword Technique,¡± Yang Xiaotian said lightly.


    Heaven-Prating Sword Technique?


    Deng Yi¡¯s mind was greatly shaken, remembering a legend.


    Yang Xiaotian sheathed the Heaven-Prating Sword and returned to Luo Qing¡¯s side: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The two turned and left.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian had walked a few steps away, Deng Yi copsed to the ground with a loud crash. He was muttering something to himself, but his voice was too weak, and nobody could hear clearly what he was saying..

 Chapter 58: Long Clan’s Dagger

    Chapter 58: Long n¡¯s Dagger


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian left in the distance.


    At that moment, a me fluttered from his fingertips and fell upon Deng Yi¡¯s corpse.


    Deng Yi¡¯s body was incinerated by the mes, eventually turning into a pile of ashes which scattered in the night wind.


    It was as if Deng Yi had never existed in these wild and deste hills.


    Luo Qing followed Yang Xiaotian, and the scene of Yang Xiaotian killing Deng Yi also left him unable to calm down.


    He hadn¡¯t expected Yang Xiaotian to kill Deng Yi with such ease.


    After all, Deng Yi was at the tenth level of Innate!


    And yet, he was killed so effortlessly.


    With just one sword strike!


    Moreover, Luo Qing hadn¡¯t expected Yang Xiaotian to know one of the top ten sword techniques in the world, the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique!


    As the master of a sect, how could Luo Qing be unaware of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique?


    However, like countless other experts in the Martial Soul World, he had only heard of the top ten sword techniques but had never seen them in action.


    Yang Xiaotian himself hadn¡¯t expected that the ¡®Sword Rain Splendor¡¯ move could be so formidable.


    Originally, he wanted to use Deng Yi to hone his swordsmanship.


    Now, he didn¡¯t even have the opportunity to do that.


    However, his ability to kill Deng Yi with such ease was not only due to the formidable Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, but also because Deng Yi had been careless and was injured from the beginning, which would not have happened if Deng Yi hadn¡¯t underestimated him.


    Having killed Deng Yi, Yang Xiaotian gained a general understanding of his own strength; with the Primordial Dragon Artbined with the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, he was stronger than many at the tenth level of Innate.


    Although he was at the peak of the fifth level of Innate, his Innate True Qi was as profound as those who had just broken through to the tenth level of Innate like Deng Yi.


    Red Moon Forest was thergest primeval forest in the surrounding countries, with an enormous area that bordered thends of over a dozen nations.


    After leaving Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion hurried along and despite their swift pace, it still took them several hours to reach the edge of the Red Moon Forest.


    By that time, the sky had already begun to brighten.


    The entire Red Moon Forest was shrouded in a gloomy haze.


    Above the forest, a thin mist hovered.


    All was quiet between heaven and earth.


    The Red Moon Forest in front of them resembled a deep abyssal beast with its jaws wide open.


    ¡°Master, should we rest for a while?¡± Luo Qing asked Yang Xiaotian.


    After all, they had been on the road for the whole night.


    ¡°No need,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    With the ever-continuing flow of True Dragon Qi from the Primordial Dragon Art, he wouldn¡¯t feel tired even if he traveled for a month. The two of them entered the Red Moon Forest.


    The dampness in the forest was heavy, and upon entering the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian felt his whole body damp and cool.


    Along the way, they asionally encountered experts from the Divine Sea Country.


    As thergest primeval forest in the surrounding countries, the Red Moon


    Forest was rife with fierce beasts, and thus, not only experts from the Divine Sea Country but also many from surrounding nations would enter the forest to hunt.


    Experts of the Divine Sea Country were surprised to see a child like Yang Xiaotian entering the Red Moon Forest.


    Some, out of kindness, urged Yang Xiaotian to leave the Red Moon Forest.


    Others even scolded Luo Qing, an elder leading a child like Yang Xiaotian into the Red Moon Forest for training.


    Luo Qing could only smile bitterly.


    He was indeed at a loss for words.


    The edge of the Red Moon Forest was free of fierce beasts, but as they went deeper, they gradually encountered more of them.


    However, these fierce beasts were not strong, most of them were at the Acquired level.


    Xiao Jin, without needing Yang Xiaotian or Luo Qing to take action, simply swept them away with a flick of its big tail.


    As the two of them and the beast ventured deeper, the sky gradually darkened.


    By nightfall, fierce beasts roamed frequently in the Red Moon Forest, and the miasma grew thicker, so Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing found a small valley where they decided to rest for the night before continuing on their journey.


    Soon, a campfire was lit.


    Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing sat by the campfire, roasting the bear meat they had just hunted.


    The aroma filled the air.


    Xiao Jin sat there, drooling with desire.


    ¡°Seems like it¡¯s Azure Bear meat! Damn, that smells good!¡± Just then, from outside the valley, a rough voice came, followed by the sound of footsteps entering the valley.


    A group of men appeared in Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing¡¯s field of vision.


    There were more than a dozen of them, all sturdy men.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Blood Saber Gang,¡± Luo Qing said to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He had heard of the Blood Saber Gang; it was arge gang in the Divine Sea Country, simr to the ck Wind Stronghold he had destroyed before, specializing inmitting acts of burning, killing, and looting.


    These were desperate men, and after they came in, a fierce aura rushed towards Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing.


    After the members of the Blood Saber Gang entered, they were shocked to see Yang Xiaotian, clearly not expecting to meet a child in the Red Moon Forest.


    ¡°Hey, there¡¯s even a kid. Kid, you wouldn¡¯t happen to be here in the Red Moon


    Forest to hunt fierce beasts, would you?¡± One of the bald men joked with Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I bet you¡¯re still on your mother¡¯s milk, aren¡¯t you? Did you wet yourself when you saw the beasts?¡±


    The Blood Saber Gang burst intoughter.


    Luo Qing¡¯s expression darkened.


    ¡°You still have a chance to leave now,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ying with the meat on the grill, his voice light and airy.


    The Blood Saber Gang were taken aback.


    The bald manughed, ¡°Little brat, what did you say? Telling me to scram?¡± And then, with a beckoning finger, he said, ¡°Come on, your daddy¡¯s standing here; I¡¯ll let you throw one punch. If you can make it count, I¡¯ll spare your life.¡±


    No sooner had he finished speaking than Yang Xiaotian, seated by the campfire, suddenly threw out a punch.


    Instantly, the roar of the fist scream, as ten True Qi Dragons flew out, splitting the air.


    The dragons roared through heaven and earth.


    Boom!


    A massive fist imprint mmed into the bald man¡¯s exposed chest.


    The bald man was sent flying like a kite with a broken string and mmed against the mountainside behind him.


    With his mouth open, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    The whole Blood Saber Gang stood there dumbfounded.


    ¡°Kill him for me!¡± the bald man cried out in shock and anger.


    However, just as the Blood Saber Gang members were about to make a move, they saw Luo Qing rise in the air, and her broadsword came shing down fiercely.


    At once, more than a dozen sword auras fell from above each of the gang members¡¯ heads.


    Blood sttered into the air.


    The gang members of the Blood Saber Gang stood there and one by one fell down.


    Afterward, Luo Qing delivered another sh, ending the bald man.


    However, while clearing the bodies of the gang members, Yang Xiaotian found an oddly shaped, broken dagger on one of them.


    The dagger¡¯s shape was strange, and by its looks, it should be a key, with mysterious runes on the de.


    ¡°This is Long n script,¡± said Luo Qing after a careful examination, addressing Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Oh, Long n script,¡± Yang Xiaotian remarked with surprise. He flipped the dagger over a few times, wondering if it was an object of the Long n since it was inscribed with their script.


    Did the Blood Saber Gange to the Red Moon Forest in possession of this Long n item in search of treasure?


    After inspecting it for a while, Yang Xiaotian carefully tucked away the dagger, nning to thoroughly research the Long n script on it once he returned to the academy..

    Night, eventually, would pass.


    The morning sun shone through the trees, casting a mottled light and shadow on the ground.


    For a moment, Yang Xiaotian felt the illusion of being back on Earth.


    But soon, the roar of beasts near his ear pulled Yang Xiaotian back to reality.


    Yang Xiaotian ceased his cultivation technique, stood up, and stretched his limbs.


    A series of crackling sounds followed.


    Although it had only been a few months since his Martial Soul Awakening, he had recently grown quite a bit taller.


    At this time, Xiao Jin also stopped cultivating.


    Having recently cultivated the Heavenly Beast Art, Xiao Jin¡¯s scales gleamed even more golden.


    Yang Xiaotian always felt that Xiao Jin was undergoing a transformation; even


    Luo Qing had the same feeling.


    The group drank a few sips of fine wine and ate some roasted meat before continuing on their way.


    Another two days passed.


    As they drew closer to the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, they encountered more and more fierce beasts.


    When confronted with fierce beasts, Xiao Jin would sweep them away with a big swish of its tail.


    Yang Xiaotian, on the other hand, used his sword.


    Sometimes it was the Phantom Sword Technique, sometimes the Vast Sea Sword Technique, sometimes the Spirit Snake Sword Technique, and sometimes even the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    After two days, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mastery over the various sword techniques had improved significantly.


    One day, as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were moving forward, suddenly, they heard cries for helping from up ahead.


    Among the cries for help, there seemed to be the voices of children as well.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and check it out!¡± said Yang Xiaotian, Luo Qing, and Xiao Jin, rushing in the direction of the cries for help.


    Soon, they arrived at the scene.


    There, they saw several fierce beasts encircling and attacking a group of students from Divine Sea Academy.


    On the ground in the distance, there were already several corpses of Divine Sea Academy students lying there.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian had a conflict with Divine Sea Academy more than a month ago during the freshman exchange, Divine Sword Academy and Divine Sea Academy traditionally had a good rtionship. Seeing the situation, Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate to instruct Luo Qing and Xiao Jin to take action.


    With Luo Qing and Xiao Jin stepping in, the fierce beasts were quickly in.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± At this moment, one of the rescued Divine Sea Academy students saw Yang Xiaotian and eximed in surprise.


    Yang Xiaotian found the voice familiar and turned to see that it was actually Su Li.


    Having had his back to him just now, Yang Xiaotian had not recognized the other person.


    He had not expected that Su Li would be among the rescued students from Divine Sea Academy.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to speak, suddenly, the sound of tearing through the air approached, and he saw two teachers from Divine Sea Academy speeding towards them.


    The two teachers from Divine Sea Academy arrived at the scene, and upon seeing the corpses of several Divine Sea Academy students in the distance, their faces turned ashen.


    Among the dead students was the son of a duke from Divine Sea Country.


    They would certainly face punishment upon their return.


    ¡°Who allowed you to leave the group without permission?!¡± Liu Guodong roared angrily at Su Li and the others.


    He was responsible for this academic expedition.


    Now that such an incident had urred, how was he to exin this to the dean upon his return!


    At this, Su Li suddenly pointed at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Elder Liu, it was him, Yang Xiaotian! During thest freshman exchange, I interrupted his contemtion of the Stone Sword, and he has held a grudge in his heart ever since. Just now, he deliberately lured the fierce beasts to attack us.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Yang Xiaotian luring the fierce beasts to attack us, Feng Zhao and the others wouldn¡¯t have died!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned, then his eyes turned cold as he red at Su Li.


    He saved Su Li and the others, only for Su Li to falsely use him of bringing


    the fierce beasts!


    It seems that Su Li took some people away without permission, fearing to be held responsible, and wanted to make a scapegoat out of him.


    At the same time, to kill him with the help of the Divine Sea Academy¡¯s teachers?


    It really was killing two birds with one stone.


    At this point, the other rescued students also pointed their anger at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian, he¡¯s the one who brought the fierce beasts!!¡±


    The students of the Divine Sea Academy were all filled with righteous indignation.


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled coldly.


    Liu Guodong¡¯s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, his face darkened, and he reprimanded Yang Xiaotian, ¡°So you are Yang Xiaotian from the Divine Sword Academy? I didn¡¯t expect you at such a young age to have such malicious intentions!


    ¡°Life for a life, since the fierce beasts were brought by you, then you muste back with us now!¡±


    Clearly, he wanted to take Yang Xiaotian back to face the Duke¡¯s justice.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian let out a coldugh, ¡°Go back with you? What if I don¡¯t go back with you?¡±


    Anyone with clear eyes could see the holes in Su Li¡¯s story.


    He refused to believe that Liu Guodong and hispanion couldn¡¯t see through Su Li¡¯s lies.


    However, knowing that Su Li was lying and still wanting to capture him clearly showed that they both wanted him to be the scapegoat as well.


    ¡°Not going back with us?¡± Liu Guodong¡¯s eyes turned cold, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t think that just because you are a genius with Twin Super Martial Spirits, we wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything to you, behind the Divine Sea Academy stands the Royal Family of Divine Sea Country!¡± ¡°It represents His Majesty the King!¡±


    ¡°I advise you, it¡¯s best not to resist!¡±


    As he said this, Liu Guodong did not hide the killing intent in his eyes.


    At this moment, Su Li shouted, ¡°Yang Xiaotian killed our academy¡¯s students, ording to the academy¡¯s rules, the killing of our students is a capital offense!¡±


    Another teacher from the Divine Sea Academy suddenly leaped into the air, his w aiming for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, ¡°What Su Li said is correct, killing our students is a capital crime, kill him, then we¡¯ll report to His Majesty the King!¡±


    The sudden attack was fast as lightning, just as one w was about to strike Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, suddenly, an astonishing de qi streaked across the sky, before anyone could react, it instantly sliced through the neck of the Divine Sea Academy teacher.


    The Divine Sea Academy teacher¡¯s body stiffened midair, then, his head soared into the air from the sky, rolling to the ground dozens of meters away.


    Only then did his lower body crash heavily to the ground.


    With a shocking thud.


    The sudden turn of events left Su Li, Liu Guodong, and the others dumbfounded.


    To serve as a teacher at one of the four great academies of Divine Sea Country, one must be at least in the Martial King Realm, and the teacher from the Divine Sea Academy who had just been killed was at the third level of the Martial King!


    ¡°Who are you!¡± Liu Guodong looked in astonishment at Luo Qing, who was standing beside Yang Xiaotian.


    The one who had made the move was, in fact, Luo Qing.


    Luo Qing stood next to Yang Xiaotian, his aura subdued, unremarkable.


    Yet, it was such an unremarkable middle-aged man who had just cut down a third-level Martial King!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Yang Xiaotianmanded coldly.


    No sooner had Yang Xiaotian spoken than Luo Qing leaped up, his great sword shing through the air, sending several peerless de qis shing towards Liu Guodong with an unstoppable force.


    Liu Guodong was horrified and rolled away in panic, de qi shing down, and where he had just stood, there was a thunderous roar, with dust flying up into the sky.


    Although Liu Guodong managed to roll away, his shoulder was still struck by a de qi, and one of his arms was cut off.


    Wracked with intense pain, just as he was about to attack with his sword, a figure followed the de to him, Luo Qing¡¯s sword directly prating his throat.


    Luo Qing looked coldly at his opponent, withdrawing the sword. Liu Guodong¡¯s face was full of disbelief as his body copsed with a boom..

 Chapter 60 - 60 Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water

    Chapter 60: Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water


    Trantor: 549690339


    Su Li and several students from Divine Sea Academy watched as Liu Guodong¡¯s body thunderously fell to the ground, all of them stunned.


    They had never imagined such an oue.


    Liu Guodong and hispanion, one a four-fold Martial King and the other a three-fold Martial King, were thus in on the spot.


    Yang Xiaotian did not look at the bodies of Liu Guodong and hispanion, and walked towards Su Li with his sword in hand.


    On Su Li¡¯s youthful face, the color hadpletely drained away, the smugness from before nowpletely gone, leaving only terror.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, what do you intend to do?¡± Su Li shouted with a feigned tough exterior masking his inner fear, ¡°I am the nephew of the King of Divine Sea Country! My father is the current head of the Su Family!¡±


    ¡°If you dare touch me!¡±


    Just as he was speaking, Yang Xiaotian swung the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand, cutting directly across Su Li¡¯s neck.


    Su Li¡¯s head rolled to the ground.


    ¡°Nephew of the King of Divine Sea Country?¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke indifferently, ¡°In my eyes, you are nothing but a dead man.¡±


    The other students from the Divine Sea Academy, seeing Su Li¡¯s head hit the ground, cried out in panic, ovee with fear.


    A stench of urine wafted through the air.


    One of them had been so scared that they had pissed themselves.


    These students from Divine Sea Academy were like Su Li, all born from noble families of Divine Sea Country, usually finding scapegoats to take the me for their misdeeds.


    But unfortunately for them, today they had chosen to pick a fight with Yang Xiaotian.


    As Yang Xiaotian looked at the few fear-stricken figures, he gave Luo Qing a nod.


    Understanding the cue, Luo Qing swung his broadsword.


    In an instant, blood sprayed into the air.


    The students quickly fell silent.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Yang Xiaotian, as he and Luo Qing departed.


    Not far after leaving, a me flickered from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fingertips,nding on the corpses of Su Li, Liu Guodong, and the others.


    The ashes scattered with the wind.


    After departing, Yang Xiaotian let out a sigh.


    Luo Qing spoke up, ¡°Young master, there is no need to feel guilty, they got what they deserved.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    The group continued their journey toward Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    Two dayster.


    The group finally arrived at the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    Cave is a misnomer; it was actually an enormous pit that opened up in the ground.


    In front of them, the earth opened up into an abyss spanning over ten miles, its depths invisible.


    Inside the abyss, air currents that made one¡¯s heart tremble drifted about.


    Standing at the edge of the Heavenly Tribtion Cave alone was enough to give one a feeling of suffocation.


    Could this be the power of Heavenly Tribtion?


    Yang Xiaotian watched with amazement at the unfathomable dark hole of Heavenly Tribtion before him.


    After so many years, the remnants of Heavenly Tribtion¡¯s power were still so astonishing.


    One could only imagine how earth-shattering the intensity of Heavenly Tribtion was when it struck.


    After entering the Red Moon Forest, they often encountered masters from various countries and fierce beasts, but around the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, they saw neither person nor beast.


    ¡°Have them wait here for you, ¡± the voice of the Medicine Cauldron suddenly resounded, ¡°I will take you inside.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, then told Luo Qing and Xiao Jin to wait outside for him.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to enter alone, young master?¡± Luo Qing asked in surprise, shaking his head, ¡°I will go with you, young master.¡±


    Although Luo Qing did not know what Yang Xiaotian was searching for in the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, he knew the ce was extremely dangerous and did not feel at ease letting Yang Xiaotian go alone.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will be fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile to Luo Qing and Xiao Jin, ¡°I¡¯m not alone.¡±


    ¡°You two wait here for me, and if I don¡¯te out after a month, you head back to Divine Sword City first,¡± he instructed.


    After giving some instructions, Yang Xiaotian leapt up and descended toward the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    Soon, the darkness of the Heavenly Tribtion Cave swallowed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian enter the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, Luo Qing couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    But what puzzled him was what Yang Xiaotian meant by saying he was not alone.


    The Heavenly Tribtion Cave was very quiet.


    Deeper andrger than Yang Xiaotian had imagined.


    Although Yang Xiaotian was now an Innate Grandmaster, he still couldn¡¯t fly, so he had to descend along the cliff face. Fortunately, the cliff wasn¡¯t vertical, and relying on his lightness skill and movements, Yang Xiaotian descended by several hundred meters fairly quickly.


    After descending for several hundred meters, the Qi of Heavenly Tribtion grew denser. Under the influence of Heavenly Tribtion Qi, Yang Xiaotian struggled to breathe until the Medicine Cauldron began to gleam and started to absorb the surrounding Qi of Heavenly Tribtion.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Although this Qi of Heavenly Tribtion is thin,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron,


    ¡°it is a rare treat for you and can be used for body refining.¡±


    ¡°Body refining with the Qi of Heavenly Tribtion?!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in shock.


    The Medicine Cauldron hummed in affirmation, ¡°Although you have cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, your physical body is still too weak. This Qi of Heavenly Tribtion will be just right for refining your body.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when the timees, I will control the Qi of Heavenly Tribtion to ensure that it is extremelyfortable for you!¡± the Medicine


    Cauldron added.


    Hearing the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s wicked voice, Yang Xiaotian shivered involuntarily.


    With the Medicine Cauldron constantly absorbing the Qi of Heavenly Tribtion, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s descent became much smoother.


    Fortunately, he had the Medicine Cauldron with him; otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to prate deep into the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    After descending over a thousand meters more, he finally reached the bottom of the Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    Standing on the ground at the bottom of the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, Yang Xiaotian looked up and could no longer see the outside sky.


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned.


    A strike from Heavenly Tribtion had sted over a thousand meters deep into the ground ¡ª such immense force.


    ¡°This is the weakest form of Heavenly Tribtion,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes widened with disbelief, ¡°This is the weakest?¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion has varying degrees,¡± exined the Medicine Cauldron. ¡°This is the weakest form. As for the strongest Heavenly Tribtion, you wille to know in time. When you break through to the Martial God Realm, you will face the strongest form of Heavenly Tribtion!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied in shock, ¡°Why?!¡±


    ¡°Because you cultivate the strongest cultivation technique in Heaven and Earth ¡ª the Primordial Dragon Art. Because your Martial Soul is a twin-born Supreme Martial Spirit with potential to reach the Supreme King level. Because your Martial Dao talent is abnormal, ¡± the Medicine Cauldron exined in one breath.


    Yang Xiaotian was dumbfounded.


    ¡°In general, the stronger one is, the stronger the Heavenly Tribtion they will face when ascending to godhood,¡± the Medicine Cauldron borated.


    The pair continued to chat as they walked on.


    After a while, Yang Xiaotian suddenly saw a small pond.


    From a distance, lightning danced across the surface of the small pond, and despite the significant gap, one could still hear the crackling sound of thunder.


    The Medicine Cauldron said excitedly, ¡°There really is Tribtion Thunder Water here! ¡±


    ¡°Hurry, take me over there!¡±


    Seeing the Medicine Cauldron so excited, Yang Xiaotian quickly approached the pond¡¯s edge.


    ¡°Tribtion Thunder Water is a heaven-sent treasure. Consuming a drop can strengthen organs, cleanse marrows, and invigorate life, ¡± said the Medicine Cauldron to Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Kid, we¡¯ve struck gold..¡±

    Chapter 61: Taming the Divine me


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian saw the Medicine Cauldron getting so excited and was somewhat lost for words.


    ¡°Even though you¡¯re a being that transcends a Divine Artifact, is there a need to be this excited?¡±


    Unexpectedly, the Medicine Cauldron rolled its eyes, ¡®You¡¯re a man who doesn¡¯t know the pangs of hunger when satiated. Do you think Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water is an ordinary treasure? This kind of thing is serendipitous and cannot be sought; it gradually forms over countless years. A pool of Tribtion Thunder Water like this might not evene about in ten thousand years.¡±


    Hearing that even in ten thousand years there might not be a pool of Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian smacked his tongue. He quickened his heart rate as he looked at the pool of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water before him.


    So what¡¯s next?


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this, kid,¡± the Medicine Cauldron said with a brazen spirit.


    Do this?!?


    Yang Xiaotian broke into a sweat.


    The words seemed rather crude.


    Nevertheless, following the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s words, Yang Xiaotian started, not standing on ceremony, he scooped up a big cup and took a big gulp.


    Gulp.


    After a big mouthful of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, all at once, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body tingled and every pore seemed to spray out wisps of mist imbued with Thunder Qi.


    Yang Xiaotian got a shock.


    ¡°Quick, circte the Primordial Dragon Art!¡±


    ¡°Refine the Thunder Water!¡±


    The Medicine Cauldron reminded.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly sat down cross-legged and began to circte the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Instantly, bolts of lightning flourished unabated across his body.


    Several hourster.


    After Yang Xiaotian stopped, he found himself all sticky and reeking with an unpleasant odor.


    ¡°This is the waste expelled from your body after Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons,¡± the Medicine Cauldron spoke, ¡°How do you feel now?¡± ¡°Great!¡± Yang Xiaotian said sincerely.


    At that moment, his entire body felt indescribablyfortable.


    He leaped up, almost as if he was going to take off into the air.


    Then, he thrust with his sword.


    ¡°One Sword Yin Yang.¡±


    The Sword Qi split in two.


    The air hundreds of meters away was cleaved apart.


    After Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons, Yang Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised to discover that even the cirction of his True Qi was faster than before.


    The effect of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was even better than he had imagined.


    ¡°This is only the effect you see for now,¡± the Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°The benefits of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water go far beyond this. If you regrly use Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons, your physical body will gradually be perfect, and regr consumption of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water will give you an Innate Tribtion Thunder physique.¡±


    ¡°Plus, you will grow to be more and more handsome.¡±


    Listening to the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s endless talk, Yang Xiaotian was speechless. Could it be that exaggerated?


    ¡°Master Ding, the thing you were looking for¡­ was it Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Yang Xiaotian remembered the Medicine Cauldron previously mentioned wanting to find something.


    ¡°Exactly, it¡¯s the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡± the Medicine Cauldronughed, ¡®We¡¯ll split this pool of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, half each.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Even though he didn¡¯t know why the Medicine Cauldron needed the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he didn¡¯t ask further.


    And so, Yang Xiaotian continued to gulp down arge mouthful of Heavenly


    Tribtion Thunder Water and refined it by circting the Primordial Dragon


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s pores once again erupted with Thunder Qi.


    Several hourster, another batch of sticky impurities was expelled.


    Like this, for the following several days, Yang Xiaotian spent his time consuming and refining Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    As impurities were continuously expelled from his body, Yang Xiaotian felt lighter and lighter, his True Qi circted more smoothly, and even his swordsmanship improved significantly.


    Several dayster, Yang Xiaotian had finally expelled all the impurities from his body, leaving no sticky substances behind.


    Those were just the impurities from before.


    Cultivators, whether from consuming food or swallowing elixirs, always produced impurities within their bodies, but with the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian no longer needed to worry about the umtion of impurities inside his body.


    Seeing that there were no more impurities, Yang Xiaotian took out a spiritual jade bottle and saved half of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, while the Medicine Cauldron directly swallowed the other half into itself.


    Under the purification and cleansing of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the Medicine Cauldron was rejuvenated, its body even shining brighter.


    Next, it was time to search for the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    Although the bottom of the Heavenly Tribtion Cave wasn¡¯t vast, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire was constantly moving, making it not easy to find.


    Fortunately, after several days of strenuous searching, he finally found the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    When Yang Xiaotian discovered the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, it unexpectedly charged towards him.


    Watching the astonishing mes and lightning from the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire bearing down on him, Yang Xiaotian was startled and attempted to dodge, but the Divine Fire was too fast, reaching him in an instant.


    Before the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire even arrived, Yang Xiaotian felt the terrifying force that could burn everything to ashes.


    Just as he was about to be incinerated into ash by the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, suddenly, the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s radiance surged, and a gentle glow enveloped Yang Xiaotian.


    Boom!


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire struck the light barrier, causing an explosion of firelight.


    The entire bottom of the Heavenly Tribtion Cave lit up as if it were daytime.


    However, thanks to the protection of the light barrier, Yang Xiaotian remainedpletely unharmed in the end.


    ¡°Quick, operate the Primordial Dragon Art and refine the Divine Fire!¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice rang out.


    Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian activated the Primordial Dragon Art, and instantly, ten True Qi Dragons flew out, their dragon roars sounding so loud that even Luo Qing and Xiao Jin outside the Heavenly Tribtion Cave heard them.


    The ten True Qi Dragons wrapped around the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire in an entwining fashion.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, as if having intelligence, kept ramming fiercely.


    Thunderous booms sounded continuously.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire was immensely powerful, trying multiple times to st away the True Qi Dragons, causing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s blood to churn and blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.


    However, whenever the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire was about to disperse the True Qi Dragons, the Medicine Cauldron emitted a ray of light to restrain it.


    Yet, the ferocity of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire far exceeded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expectations.


    A day passed.


    It was still violently ramming.


    After two days and a night, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire finally began to soften.


    Seeing that it was about time, the Medicine Cauldron instructed Yang Xiaotian to operate the Controlling Fire Technique.


    This Controlling Fire Technique was taught to Yang Xiaotian by it over the past two days, specifically for subduing the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    Yang Xiaotian moved his hands, following the method of the Controlling Fire Technique, and continuously imprinted Fire Runes into the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    After several hours.


    Finally, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Firepletely calmed down.


    Yang Xiaotian did not let his guard down and continued to imprint the Fire Rune into the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire until he felt a blood connection with it, only then did he stop.


    Staring at the floating Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire before him, Yang


    Xiaotian was ecstatic in his heart, the fourteenth-ranked Divine me on the Divine Fire Rankings, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, was finally subdued!


    With a wave of his hand, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, like an elf, wound around his entire body, moving about.


    In the end, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire shrank to the size of a fist and settled on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm.


    Yang Xiaotian silently recited the incantation, and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire slowly merged into his palm and eventually reached his Dantian, fully integrating with his Innate True Qi.


    However, feeling that he was about to break through to the sixth level of the Innate stage, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t immediately leave the Heavenly Tribtion Cave and began to sit and cultivate at the bottom of the cave.


    One dayter.


    An astonishing aura burst forth to the heavens.


    The sixth level of the Innate stage was finally achieved!

 Chapter 62: Young Master, you’re finally back!

    Chapter 62: Young Master, you¡¯re finally back!


    Trantor: 549690339


    After breaking through to the sixth level of the Innate realm, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t linger and, like a nimble monkey, constantly sprang up from the depths of Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    Outside the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, Luo Qing had been waiting for several days. Seeing no movement, he grew increasingly uneasy.


    On this day, when he saw a figure darting out from the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, Luo Qing fixed his eyes and, recognizing it was Yang Xiaotian, couldn¡¯t help but greet him with joy, ¡°Young Master!¡±


    Xiao Jin also happily leaped over.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled at Luo Qing, ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡±


    This trip to the Heavenly Tribtion Cave had not only tamed the Divine me but also uncovered plenty of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water; the gains were truly abundant.


    Following behind Yang Xiaotian, Luo Qing saw his happy demeanor and asked with a smile, ¡°Did the Young Master find what he was looking for?¡± ¡°Found it,¡± Yang Xiaotian chuckled. ¡°Let¡¯s have a bear meat feastter to celebrate.¡±


    At the mention of bear meat, Xiao Jin immediately began drooling.


    ¡°After we get back, I have some great things for you all,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    Luo Qing had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Martial King¡¯s tenth level for a long time. With the help of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for the


    Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons technique and the power of the Wooden Emperor Skill, his chances of breaking through to Martial Ancestor would greatly increase.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing left the Heavenly Tribtion Cave, inside Yang Family Manor, Yang Ming and Yang Hai were wearing gloomy expressions.


    Because the ores they transported yesterday had been robbed again.


    And it was a group of masked men who had robbed them.


    This batch of ores was even more substantial and important than the one taken by ck Wind Stronghold a few months ago.


    ¡°Damn it, who exactly is targeting our Yang Family Manor?¡± Yang Hai mmed his palm down in fury, causing the stone table beside him to tremble uncontrobly.


    For the previous batch, they knew it was ck Wind Stronghold who had done it; at least they knew who to demand it from. But this time, they didn¡¯t even know who the culprits were. Whom could they demand it from?


    Thinking about failing to deliver the ores to Hundred Swords Sect and the necessity of paying a heftypensation made Yang Hai¡¯s anger surge.


    Yang Ming was also pacing back and forth anxiously. He snapped, ¡°No matter what, we have to get that batch of ores back!¡±


    Yang Hai suddenly said, ¡°Father, why don¡¯t we have second brother retrieve them?¡±


    Yang Ming was stunned, ¡®Yang Chao?¡±


    ¡°Thest batch of ores was retrieved by second brother,¡± Yang Hai insisted. ¡°He will certainly be able to get them back this time too!¡±


    Yang Ming hesitated and said, ¡°He probably won¡¯t agree.¡±


    After all, they had treated him too unfairly before.


    Last time, not only did Yang Chao help Yang Family Manor recover their lost ores, saving them ten thousand gold in the process, but upon his return, they not only refused to give him half the mining rights but also expelled him from Yang Family Manor!


    Yang Hai countered, ¡°He¡¯s still a member of Yang Family Manor. If Yang Family Manor¡¯s ores are lost, it¡¯s his responsibility to retrieve them! You are the Manor Lord of Yang Family Manor. If you order him to retrieve the ores, would he dare to refuse?¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Yang Ming hesitated for a moment before finally nodding his head.


    Due to the urgency, shortly afterward, Yang Ming left Yang Family Manor with Yang Hai and several guards, heading to Xingyue City and knocking on the door of Yang Chao¡¯s residence.


    Yang Chao, seeing Yang Ming and Yang Hai¡¯s visit, despite being puzzled, still weed the two inside.


    Once inside, Yang Hai, seeing many valuable items arranged around the house, felt a twinge of envy and jealousy.


    ¡°Little brother, you¡¯re living quite the life,¡± Yang Hai remarked casually as he sat down.


    ¡°What brings you here?¡± Yang Chao didn¡¯t want to waste words with Yang Hai and asked directly.


    Yang Hai looked towards Yang Ming.


    Yang Ming hesitated, finding it embarrassing to speak.


    Seeing this, Yang Hai said to Yang Chao, ¡°We didn¡¯t want to hide it from you, second brother, but yesterday our Yang Family Manor lost a batch of ores. They were robbed by a group of masked men, and we¡¯re hoping you could help recover them!¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Huang Ying, hearing this, immediately became furious, ¡°Every time you lose ores, you ask Yang Chao to get them back?¡±


    She couldn¡¯t believe Yang Hai had the audacity to make such a request.


    Last time the ores were missing, Yang Chao risked his life to retrieve them from ck Wind Stronghold.


    And how were the results?


    Now, Yang Hai had the nerve toe and ask Yang Chao to retrieve them again!


    Yang Chao¡¯s expression also darkened at once.


    Seeing Huang Ying¡¯s reaction, Yang Hai took a sip of hot tea and nonchntly said, ¡°Sister-inw, what are you talking about? As a member of Yang Family Manor, second brother naturally has the responsibility to help retrieve the lost ores of the Manor!¡±


    Huang Ying, agitated, countered, ¡®You still acknowledge him as your second brother? When he risked his life to demand the ores from ck Wind Stronghold, did you ever worry about his safety?¡±


    ¡°Afterward, when he helped Yang Family Manor retrieve the ores, how did you treat him, how did you treat our family?¡± she continued. ¡®You drove us out of Yang Family Manor. Have you ever thought of him as your brother, as your son?¡±


    Yang Hai refused to be impressed and addressed Yang Chao, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Yang Family Manor, could you have achieved such sess? We¡¯re simply asking you to retrieve the ores, not asking you to scale a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of mes.¡±


    Yang Chaoughed mockingly, ¡°What you mean to say is that my current good life is all thanks to Yang Family Manor?¡±


    Yang Ming, who had been silent until now, spoke up, ¡°Yang Chao, your elder brother is right. You¡¯re a part of Yang Family Manor. If the Manor loses ores, you also bear the responsibility to retrieve them!¡±


    ¡°The mines are managed by my elder brother, and it¡¯s my elder brother who lost the ores. You want me to help him recover those ores?¡± Yang Chao angrily retorted, ¡°I am afraid I am not able to help with this.¡± Yang Hai smashed the table to bits in a rage, ¡°You ungrateful wretch!¡± ¡°What did you say?!¡± Yang Chao red at Yang Hai, seething.


    ¡°I said it¡¯s you!¡± Upon saying this, Yang Hai, overwhelmed with emotion, smashed out with his Fierce Tiger Killing Fist.


    Enraged, Yang Chao charged forward.


    Their fists collided, and the objects inside the room were swept away and shattered to pieces.


    ¡°Enough!¡± Seeing this, Yang Ming intervened and stopped Yang Hai.


    After ncing at Yang Chao, he sighed, ¡°If you are unwilling, then let¡¯s forget it. Yang Family Manor has raised you in vain all these years. Let¡¯s go!¡± With that, he left with Yang Hai.


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian was returning from Red Moon Forest with Luo Qing and Xiao Jin.


    However, he didn¡¯t immediately return to Divine Sword City. Since he rarely got out, he wanted to visit Xingyue City to see his father and mother, as well as his little sister.


    Several dayster, Yang Xiaotian stood in front of his family¡¯s door in Xingyue City.


    He knocked on the big door of his house.


    The one who opened the door was Sun Hua.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Sun Hua was initially astonished, then suddenly burst into tears of joy, ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s you! You have finallye back!¡±


    Seeing Sun Hua¡¯s reaction, Yang Xiaotian sensed something was amiss and asked, ¡°Uncle Sun, what happened? Where are my father and mother?¡±

 Chapter 63: Do you really think I wouldn ‘t dare?

    Chapter 63: Do you really think I wouldn ¡®t dare?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Sun Hua creaked, ¡°The Second Manor Lord and his wife have gone out.¡±


    At that moment, hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice, Yang Ling¡¯er also came out from inside the house. Seeing Yang Xiaotian, she rushed over, excitedly saying, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re back, Ling¡¯er missed you so much!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the young girl, his heart warmed, and smiled, ¡°Big brother missed you too.¡± He then took out arge parcel for the young girl.


    The young girl opened it with a puzzled expression, and saw that it was filled with all her favorite snacks, pastries, nuts, and taffy. She couldn¡¯t help but jump for joy, gave Yang Xiaotian a kiss on the cheek, ted beyond words.


    Yang Xiaotian, seeing the young girl¡¯s happiness, smiled.


    ¡°Father and mother went out to buy things?¡± he asked the young girl.


    Upon hearing this, the young girl became agitated and said, ¡°Big brother, you have no idea, the day before yesterday, uncle and grandfather came, and they almost tore our house down, many things in the hall were smashed by them.¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened, he went to the hall. Seeing the hall that had been destroyed by fists, he said sternly, ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Uncle lost arge batch of ores again. He and grandfather came here demanding father to retrieve the ores, but father refused, uncle then attacked father!¡± The young girl said indignantly, visibly agitated.


    ¡°Many valuable items in the hall were smashed by uncle. These items were gifts from the City Lord a while ago, mother said they were worth five thousand six hundred gold!¡±


    The young girl vividly and angrily gestured as she spoke.


    ¡°And then?¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.


    ¡°Then, uncle and the others just left without even apologizing, just shook their butts and went back,¡± the young girl said, puffing up with anger.


    Yang Xiaotian, his anger ring, immediately walked outside.


    ¡°Big brother, where are you going?¡± the young girl asked.


    ¡°To Yang Family Manor!¡± Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t look back, taking Luo Qing and Xiao Jin with him as he left the residence.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian heading to Yang Family Manor, Sun Hua became anxious, fearing something might happen to him, he hurriedly went to call the Second


    Manor Lord.


    The Great Manor Lord had lost ores and was currently in a bad mood. If Yang


    Xiaotian went to Yang Family Manor to cause trouble, given the Great Manor Lord¡¯s heartless and ungrateful nature, who knows what he might do to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian left Xingyue City, and soon arrived at Yang Family Manor.


    The guards at Yang Family Manor recognized Yang Xiaotian, and their expressions changed as they quickly shut the manor gates.


    Seeing the tightly closed gates of Yang Family Manor, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold, his True Qi surged, and he suddenly threw a punch.


    The force of the punch roared through the air.


    A gigantic tiger burst forth from the void.


    It was Tiger King Fist from Divine Sword Academy. Bang!


    The punch hit the tightly shut gates of Yang Family Manor.


    Two massive gates, each weighing hundreds of pounds, were sent flying backwards.


    ¡°Bang!¡± The loud crash resounded.


    The two gates collided with a mountain stone, causing the stone to explode, and the guards inside the manor were terrified.


    Yang Hai, distraught over the lost ores, was drinking sullenly inside the manor,


    when suddenly he heard a thunderous explosion from the front gate, which left him astonished.


    At that moment, a guard rushed in with a panicked face and reported, ¡°Great Manor Lord, the second young master, Yang Xiaotian, has arrived! He has just blown away the gates of Yang Family Manor!¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Hai exploded with rage, leading a group of Yang Family Manor guards out in a fury.


    As soon as Yang Hai came out, he saw the gates that had been blown away. Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist, the gates were now beyond recognition, shattered to pieces.


    Yang Hai red at Yang Xiaotian with eyes full of violent rage.


    ¡°You little bastard, do you really think that just because you¡¯re now a student of the Divine Sword Academy, I wouldn¡¯t dare to break your legs!¡± Yang Hai shouted angrily, ¡°You better put those manor gates back exactly as they were, or else, I will break your legs!¡±


    ¡°Is that so,¡± said Yang Xiaotian with an unchanged expression. ¡°Then I shall see how you n to break my legs!¡±


    Yang Hai, in fury, circted his Innate True Qi and threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian with all his might, ¡°Do you really think I wouldn¡¯t dare?!¡±


    A vicious light shed across his eyes.


    This punch was aimed directly at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s dantian.


    Clearly, he wanted to take this opportunity to cripple Yang Xiaotian in one fell swoop!


    For as long as he could remember, he and Yang Ming had loathed Yang Xiaotian.


    Having been publicly defeated by Yang Xiaotian twice had only added to his resentful feelings.


    Later, upon learning that Yang Xiaotian possessed Twin Super Martial Spirits, his jealousy and hatred for him grew even more intense.


    Just as Yang Hai¡¯s punch was about to hit Yang Xiaotian¡¯s dantian,


    Suddenly, a gigantic hand stretched out of thin air and grabbed Yang Hail s fist.


    Yang Hail s fist waspletely enveloped and suspended midair. The previously fierce Yang Hai looked at Luo Qing with shock and surprise, his face changing color, ¡°You?!¡±


    Luo Qing¡¯s face was cold as he twisted his hand.


    Yang Hai screamed in pain as his right arm was twisted by Luo Qing into a spiral shape!


    Then, Luo Qing delivered a fierce kick, sending Yang Hai flying away.


    Yang Hai let out a miserable cry as he was sent crashing into the Yang Family Manor, exploding the stone at the entrance into fragments.


    The guards of the Yang Family Manor had their expressions change drastically.


    ¡°Great Manor Lord,¡± the people eximed, rushing forward in a flurry.


    Yang Hai spit up blood incessantly, looking at Luo Qing with terrified eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian watched Yang Hai coldly, ¡°If you dare to cause trouble at my house again, or dare toy a hand on my father and mother, next time it won¡¯t just be an arm that gets broken!¡±


    Yang Hail s face was ugly, ¡°You!¡±


    ¡°Also, the belongings you destroyed at my house two days ago amount to five thousand six hundred gold. You better have someone deliver the money tomorrow,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly. ¡°Otherwise, what I demolish won¡¯t just be a gate of the Yang Family Manor!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian left with Luo Qing and Xiao Jin.


    As Xiao Jin left, his sweeping tail knocked down a section of the courtyard wall.


    Dust and debris billowed up.


    Yang Hai was so enraged he coughed up blood.


    After Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure disappeared, Yang Hai roared, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, even if I do not send the money tomorrow, I want to see if you truly dare to dismantle the Yang Family Manor!¡±


    After leaving the Yang Family Manor, Yang Xiaotian was about to return to Xingyue City when he saw his parents, Sun Hua, and the little girl, all rushing towards him anxiously.


    ¡°Xiaotian!¡± Both Yang Chao and Huang Ying, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, were overjoyed.


    ¡°Xiaotian, are you alright?¡± his mother Huang Ying asked.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded with a shake of his head and a smile, looking at his mother¡¯s concerned expression.


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re fine, that¡¯s all that matters.¡± Huang Ying¡¯s face showed relief. Embracing Yang Xiaotian, sheughed, ¡°I¡¯ve missed you to death these past few months.¡±


    The family happily made their way back to Xingyue City. Along the way, Huang Ying eagerly asked Yang Xiaotian about his time at Divine Sword Academy.


    The next day, Yang Hai eventually had five thousand six hundred gold delivered.


    During this rare visit home, Yang Xiaotian stayed at home for a few extra days.


    During these days, he didn¡¯t idle around; aside from diligently cultivating the


    Primordial Dragon Art, he also gave each person a cup of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to his parents and the little girl, helping them perform the Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons to strengthen their vitality.


    Additionally, he selected two Cultivation Techniques from Hong Feng¡¯s cave for his parents to practice.


    After the cleansing brought by the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the Cultivation Techniques from Hong Feng¡¯s cave, it wouldn¡¯t be long before Yang Chao and Huang Ying surpassed both Yang Hai and Yang Ming..

    Several davster, Yang Xiaotian finallv embarked on his iournev.


    Back to Divine Sword Academy.


    When leaving, his little sister Yang Ling¡¯er naturally found it hard to let go.


    ¡°In a few months, when your Martial Soul is awakened,e find your big brother in Divine Sword City,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Yang Ling¡¯er, ¡°Then, your big brother will take you to enjoy delicious food in Divine Sword City.¡± Only then did Yang Ling¡¯er break into a smile.


    In a few months, Yang Linger would turn seven and would be able to awaken her Martial Soul.


    Yang Xiaotian was quite looking forward to what kind of Martial Soul the little girl would awaken.


    ¡°Xiaotian, at Divine Sword Academy, you must stay safe, do you understand?¡± Huang Ying said to Yang Xiaotian when they parted.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled in response.


    Amidst Yang Chao¡¯s, Huang Ying¡¯s, and Yang Linger¡¯s watchful eyes, the figure of Yang Xiaotian gradually disappeared on the official road of Xingyue City.


    After leaving Xingyue City, Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to rush back to Divine Sword City; he traveled and practiced along the way, and when he passed through some cities at night, he would stop to rest for the night before continuing on his journey.


    Back in Xingyue City, Luo Qing had also consumed the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and after the Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons, he was much closer to reaching the Martial Ancestor Realm.


    Xiao Jin, after ingesting the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, had its golden armor be even brighter, and a small bump emerged on its forehead.


    Looking at the little bump on its forehead, Yang Xiaotian felt it strange, wondering if the little guy was going to grow horns?


    A Golden Armored Beast with horns?


    If that were the case, Xiao Jin would undoubtedly be the only Golden Armored Beast with horns in the world.


    That night, as darkness fell, Yang Xiaotian and his group were nning to rest at an inn in a certain city when suddenly, the sounds of fighting echoed in the streets.


    ¡°Tuoluo Sect, if Liao Kun can¡¯t destroy you, I swear I¡¯m not a man!¡± At that moment, an angry roar arose.


    Luo Qing, who was about to rest, immediately rolled out of bed, pushed open the door, and went out at the voice.


    Hearing themotion in Luo Qing¡¯s room, Yang Xiaotian also came out.


    ¡°My lord, they¡¯re disciples from my sect,¡± Luo Qing said to Yang Xiaotian, both excited and overjoyed.


    Surprised, Yang Xiaotian then leaped into the air with Luo Qing andnded on the street, only to see several figures in the distance being pursued by a group of people.


    Seeing the people being chased, Luo Qing grew even more agitated: ¡°It really is Liao Kun, Jingrong, and the others!¡±


    Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others were among the most talented disciples of his Red Saber Sect.


    When Luo Qing saw the group pursuing them, a sh of murderous intent crossed his eyes, and arge saber appeared in his hand. With a mighty leap, he swung his saber.


    ¡°de sh Thousand Mountains!¡±


    In an instant, countless saber energies tore through the night.


    Those from the Tuoluo Sect chasing the group did not expect someone to suddenly counterattack and scrambled to evade, but they were a step too slow, and in an instant, several were shed to death on the spot.


    After a single strike with his saber, Luo Qing leaped up again, moving like lightning, and in an instant, he was right in front of the remaining Tuoluo Sect experts, his de rising and falling, taking down two more.


    At this point, the rest reacted.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Sect Master!¡±


    ¡°Sect Master!¡±


    Liao Kun, Jingrong, and the others, upon recognizing their rescuer, cried with joy.


    The Tuoluo Sect experts were shocked and surprised to hear it was the Red Saber Sect Master.


    ¡°Luo Qing?!¡± one of them eximed in disbelief.


    Hadn¡¯t their Sect Master told them that Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian had been shattered and that he was now a cripple, likely dead in some corner by now?


    This Luo Qing bore no resemnce to someone with a shattered Dantian.


    Luo Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous intent, his saber unstoppable, as he slew another: ¡°That¡¯s right, I am Luo Qing!¡±


    Working together with Luo Qing and Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other six, the Tuoluo Sect experts were finally killed offpletely.


    Luo Qing and the other six cleaned up the bodies.


    ¡°Sect Master, your Dantian?¡± Liao Kun was equally baffled.


    That day, he had personally witnessed Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian being destroyed. ¡°It was the young master who restored my Dantian and cultivation base,¡± Luo Qing told Liao Kun and the others before introducing them to Yang Xiaotian.


    When Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong learned that an eight-year-old child, Yang Xiaotian, had restored Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian and cultivation base, they were greatly surprised.


    They knew how difficult it was for someone to recover a Dantian after it had been destroyed, with almost no hope of restoration, yet a child could actually help their Sect Master regain his Dantian and cultivation?


    ¡°We are very thankful for the young master¡¯s rescue of our Sect Master,¡± Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others said to Yang Xiaotian with fists cupped in gratitude.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, indicating they need not be polite, then said to Luo Qing, ¡°Let¡¯s leave this ce first.¡±


    The Tuoluo Sect¡¯s group of experts had been killed; it wouldn¡¯t be long before the Tuoluo Sect was alerted.


    Luo Qing respectfully acknowledged.


    Thus, after a brief preparation, they resumed their journey back to Divine Sword City.


    On the way, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing about the Tuoluo Sect.


    Last year, Luo Qing¡¯s Red Saber Sect had been eradicated by the Tuoluo Sect.


    Upon learning that the Tuoluo Sect had more than a dozen Martial Ancestor experts, Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    More than a dozen Martial Ancestors?


    He suddenly felt a great pressure looming over him.


    After all, the strongest person beside him now was Luo Qing, who was only at the peak of Martial King level ten, not even a Martial Ancestor.


    Fortunately, the Tuoluo Sect still didn¡¯t know about Luo Qing¡¯s Dantian restoration, so they had time to prepare.


    It seemed necessary to strengthen the forces around him now more than ever.


    Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    In fact, sinceing out of the Red Moon Forest, he had had this idea; now, with the emergence of the Tuoluo Sect, this idea became even more urgent in his heart.


    ordingly, Yang Xiaotian and his group did not stay on the road any longer, and they hurried non-stop back to Divine Sword City.


    Upon return to Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian immediately instructed Luo Qing and Ate, along with Ali, to go to Divine Sword City and the surrounding cities to purchase arge number of ves at the peak of the Acquired Stage Ten!


    Buy as many as they could find!


    The simplest and fastest way to build strength was to buy ves. It was rare to see ves in the Innate Realm, but there were quite a few at the peak of the Acquired Stage Ten.


    For other forces, it was difficult to train an Acquired Stage Ten peak to the Innate Realm, but not for Yang Xiaotian.


    Because he had an inexhaustible supply of the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Luo Qing and hispanions took their orders and went to the ve market to purchase ves.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian was in the courtyard refining Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Now, with the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, he should be able to produce supreme quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Now that Luo Qing was just a thin paper away from the Martial Ancestor Realm, just one supreme quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill would be enough topletely puncture through that paper.


    In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian sensed the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire in his Dantian and incited it with the Controlling Fire Technique; immediately, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire gushed out from his palm through the channels of his True Qi.


    Instantly, the temperature in the courtyard soared.


    But soon, Yang Xiaotian controlled the temperature of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, bringing it down.


    Along the way, he had practiced repeatedly and could now control the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire at will.


    He took out the ingredients for the Four Symbols Spirit Pills and began calcining them with the control of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    With the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, the time required to refine the Four Symbols Spirit Pills was further reduced.


    Soon, within the Medicine Cauldron, a fragrant aroma spread.


    Different from the supreme quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills he had refined before, upon pill formation, radiant lights rose from inside.


    After the lights scattered, Yang Xiaotian looked at the enchantingly lustrous Four Symbols Spirit Pills in front of him and revealed a satisfied smile.. Supreme quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills were sessfully created!

    Chapter 65: Unworthy of Being a Sword Hall Elder


    Trantor: 549690339


    Seeing that Luo Qing and the other two still hadn¡¯t returned, Yang Xiaotian continued to operate the furnace, refining the second Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    With the experience of having just refined a supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill, this time Yang Xiaotian found the process even more rxed and effortless.


    Before long, the second supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill was sessfully refined.


    While Yang Xiaotian was refining the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, along with the other three, were huddled together discussing Yang Xiaotian.


    Throughout the journey, Luo Qing had been exceedingly respectful to Yang Xiaotian, behaving almost like a servant, which made Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others feel quite ufortable.


    After all, Luo Qing was their Sect Master and also a Martial King at the pinnacle of the tenth level. In their view, even if Yang Xiaotian had helped their Sect Master restore his dantian and cultivation, there was no need for such excessive deference.


    Hence, after arriving in Divine Sword City, Zhang Jingrong couldn¡¯t resist going out to inquire about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s background.


    ¡°How did your inquiries go?¡± Liao Kun asked as soon as he saw Zhang Jingrong return.


    Zhang Jingrong¡¯s face was a mix of emotions, her voice extremely grave, ¡°This


    Yang Xiaotian is no ordinary person!¡±


    It was more than just ¡®no ordinary person.¡¯


    Zhang Jingrong had thought that, no matter how extraordinary Yang Xiaotian was, he was still just an eight-year-old child. However, upon making inquiries, she was startled.


    No ordinary person? Seeing Zhang Jingrong¡¯s expression, Liao Kun and the others exchanged nces.


    ¡®What do you mean?¡± Chen Yishan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, he possesses Twin Super Martial Spirits!¡± Zhang Jingrong said, looking at Liao Kun and the others with a peculiar expression.


    ¡°What, Twin Super Martial Spirits!¡± Liao Kun and the others eximed in surprise.


    A Supreme Martial Spirit was an incredible genius even in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Let alone Twin Super Martial Spirits.


    ¡°Moreover, his Twin Super Martial Spirits are of the growth type,¡± Zhang Jingrong continued, ¡°He has the potential to reach level twelve in the future.¡± ¡°Growth type!¡± Liao Kun and the others were stunned.


    ¡°That¡¯s not all. He is also a terrifying martial arts genius. His Martial Soul


    Awakening urred just a few months ago, yet he has already mastered the


    Phantom Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm, and his Vast Sea Sword Technique has reached the Summit Mastery. Moreover, he has thoroughlyprehended all thirty Stone Swords of the Divine Sword Academy!¡± Zhang Jingrong kept on saying, and even she couldn¡¯t help but tremble once again as she spoke.


    ¡°What?!¡±


    ¡°Vast Sea Sword Technique at Summit Mastery!¡± ¡°Heprehended all thirty Stone Swords of the Divine Sword Academy!¡± Liao Kun, Chen Yishan, and the others were incredulous.


    They certainly knew about the Divine Sword Academy and understood whatprehending all thirty Stone Swords implied.


    ¡°Then he, is he not an Elder of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Hall?¡± Liao Kun stuttered.


    An eight-year-old kid had be an Elder of the Sword Hall of the Divine Sword Academy?


    If it wasn¡¯t for hearing the ount directly from Zhang Jingrong, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to believe that an eight-year-old could be an Elder of the Sword Hall of the Divine Sword Academy.


    The Sword Hall of the Divine Sword Academy held great prestige, not just within the academy, but also in the surrounding nations.


    Bing an Elder of the Sword Hall of the Divine Sword Academy was extremely difficult, yet an eight-year-old had achieved it.


    ¡°Moreover, he only took seven days to fullyprehend all thirty Stone Swords,¡± Zhang Jingrong said. As she spoke, even she couldn¡¯t help but feel her heart stir once again.


    Seven days to fullyprehend all thirty Stone Swords of the Divine Sword Academy!


    How terrifying is this!


    Liao Kun, Chen Yishan, and a few others were dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.


    ¡°Seven, seven days?¡± After a long while, Liao Kun was so dry-mouthed he could barely speak.


    ¡°The Divine Sword City Lord asserted that Yang Xiaotian could be the number one expert in Divine Sea Country within at most ten years!¡± Zhang Jingrong said, trying to calm herself down, but it was impossible.


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian is remarkable,¡± Zhang Jingrong noted withplex emotions, ¡°No wonder the Sect Master is so respectful and willing to follow him.


    ¡°So what do we do next?¡± Chen Yishan asked Liao Kun.


    Among the five, Liao Kun had the strongest abilities and the best talent.


    If the Red Saber Sect did not perish, Liao Kun was likely to be the next Sect Master.


    ¡°I owe a debt of gratitude to the Sect Master; I am loyal only to him,¡± Liao Kun muttered thoughtfully.


    The others nodded in agreement.


    Yearster, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, looking back, realized just how wise their decision had been at that time.


    When Yang Xiaotian seeded in refining the second premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill, Luo Qing, Ate, and Ali returned as expected, having purchased arge group of Acquired tenth stage peak ves, thirty-seven in total.


    The thirty-seven ves cost Yang Xiaotian almost eighty thousand gold.


    Yang Xiaotian was satisfied after examining the situation of the thirty-seven people.


    Although the thirty-seven individuals were not on par with Ate, Ali, and Luo Qing, there were a few among them who had quite a good foundation, both in terms of their Martial Souls and their martial arts.


    Immediately, Yang Xiaotian selected a few cultivation techniques from Hong Feng¡¯s cave residence and passed them on to the thirty-seven people, instructing them to cultivate, and also provided each of them with a portion of the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Of course, before passing on the techniques, Yang Xiaotian made the thirty-seven take an elixir to enforce control.


    With so many secrets, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to use this method to ensure their absolute loyalty for the time being.


    After the thirty-three individuals ingested the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and began cultivating, Yang Xiaotian summoned Luo Qing to his yard and took out the premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    ¡°Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill!¡± Luo Qing eximed in surprise upon seeing the elixir in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Correct, the premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, then threw it to Luo Qing, ¡°Take it and cultivate, see if you can break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.¡±


    Holding the premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill in his hand, Luo Qing was deeply moved. Was this really for him to ingest and cultivate?


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian and then bowed deeply, ¡°My lord, rest assured, with this pill, I will definitely break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm this time.¡±


    In reality, even without the premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he was confident of breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm within a month; now, he was even more assured.


    ¡°Good!¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, then handed Luo Qing five elixirs, saying, ¡°Give these five elixirs to Liao Kun and the others. If they are willing to serve me, let them take the pills.¡±


    Luo Qing¡¯s heart tightened, and he respectfully replied, ¡°Please rest assured, my lord. I will definitely persuade Liao Kun and the others,¡± then he retreated.


    Meanwhile, inside the Divine Sword Academy, Yang Zhong was crying to


    Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing, ¡°Senior Sister, Senior Brother Hu, that Yang Xiaotian is too arrogant. Relying on his martial might, he does whatever he wants, and he grievously injured my father for no reason. My father is his great uncle, yet he was capable of striking with such severity. Such a person is heartless and ungrateful!¡±


    ¡°Please, Senior Sister and Senior Brother Hu, stand up for me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hu Xing¡¯s face darkened, ¡°Such a person indeed does not deserve to be an elder of our academy¡¯s Sword Hall!¡±


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what the academy was thinking, making such a rule, bing a Sword Hall Elder just byprehending thirty Stone Swords,¡± Cheng Beibei was also indignant, ¡°Yang Xiaotian is just an Acquired realm practitioner; he can¡¯t even beat me, so what makes him qualified to be a Sword Hall Elder?¡±


    Cheng Beibei was the top student of the first year, with a strength at the peak of the Acquired tenth stage..

 Chapter 66: Even I Can’t Beat

    Chapter 66: Even I Can¡¯t Beat


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hu Xing¡¯s eyes turned cold, ¡°We will incite other students of the academy, and have all students jointly request the removal of Yang Xiaotian as the Sword Hall Elder.¡±


    ¡°I refuse to believe that Chen Changqing and the other five Elders won¡¯t take this seriously!¡±


    Half a dayter.


    Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong had gathered dozens of students and stood in Lin Yong¡¯s courtyard.


    Upon hearing the crowd¡¯s request, Lin Yong immediately flew into a rage like a lion and roared, ¡°Nonsense!¡± He swept his gaze over Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and the others, ¡°These are rules set by the ancestors, unchanged for hundreds of years. Whoeverprehends the thirty Stone Swords, is the Sword Hall Elder, no matter who they are.¡±


    ¡°You dislike Yang Xiaotian being the Sword Hall Elder; if you have the ability, you should alsoprehend the thirty Stone Swords, just like Xiaotian.¡±


    Seeing Lin Yong¡¯s rage, the other students brought by Hu Xing and Cheng Beibei were as silent as cicadas in winter.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what kind of game you¡¯re ying!¡± Lin Yong continued to rage, ¡°Are you just envious of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao Talent?¡±


    ¡°If any of you dare to bring this up again, don¡¯t me me for turning my face and not acknowledging anyone!¡±


    The crowd had not expected Lin Yong to be so furious, and they all fell silent as a row of crows.


    Taking advantage of her status as a princess, Cheng Beibei said, ¡°Dean Lin, I just can¡¯t ept that someone at the Acquired Realm like Yang Xiaotian is the Sword Hall Elder.¡±


    Lin Yong¡¯s eyes turned cold at once, ¡°Whether you ept it or not is your problem. If you don¡¯t ept the rules of the academy, you are free to leave the


    Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    Leave the Divine Sword Academy?


    Cheng Beibei¡¯splexion turned unsightly.


    Was Dean Lin willing to expel her, a princess, just for the sake of Yang Xiaotian?


    ¡°Alright, you may leave now.¡± With a grave face, Lin Yong said, ¡°Xiaotian is now the Sword Hall Elder. Anyone who dares to nder the Sword Hall Elder behind his back will be severely punished!¡±


    The rest of the students didn¡¯t dare to linger and dispersed like birds flying in all directions.


    Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong left along with the crowd.


    After leaving, Cheng Beibei said with hatred, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this isn¡¯t over between us!¡±


    Hu Xing, however, didn¡¯t speak. The thought of having previously sent Deng Yi to kill Yang Xiaotian made him increasingly uneasy.


    So much time had passed, and yet there was still no news from Deng Yi. What exactly happened? He couldn¡¯t find any trace of Deng Yi either.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian let Luo Qing consume the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill to cultivate, while he himself went to the Academy Repository to look for texts about the Long n.


    In the Red Moon Forest, he obtained a small Dragon Saber from the members of the Blood Saber Gang and he wanted to understand the meaning of the Long n characters on the saber.


    Upon arriving at the academy, Yang Xiaotian heard many students discussing the matter of Su Li.


    ¡°I heard that Su Li of the Divine Sea Academy has gone missing in the Red Moon Forest.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not only Su Li; two teachers from the Divine Sea Academy also disappeared. It¡¯s likely they were killed and their bodies destroyed!¡±


    ¡°Su Li is a super genius from the Divine Sea Academy, and he is also the King¡¯s nephew. Who would have the audacity to kill Su Li?¡±


    ¡°The King is furious and has dispatched arge number of experts to upy the Red Moon Forest, swearing to find Su Li and the others as well as the murderer!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    However, the discussion of a few other students caught his attention.


    ¡°This morning, Brother Hu Xing, Princess Cheng, and Yang Zhong rallied arge group of students to protest at the Dean¡¯s ce, iming that Yang Xiaotian, at the Acquired Realm, does not deserve to be the Sword Hall Elder and requesting that the Dean persuade Chen Changqing and the other five Elders to revoke Yang Xiaotian¡¯s position as Elder.¡±


    ¡°What happened after that?¡±


    ¡°After that, the Dean was furious and said it was the academy¡¯s rule for hundreds of years. Anyone who disagrees should leave the Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    Revoke my position as Sword Hall Elder?


    Yang Xiaotian was cold.


    Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong really were like grasshoppers in the autumn, hopping around incessantly.


    Just as he was passing through the corridor and about to reach the Book Pavilion, he saw Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhonging towards him.


    Originally, Yang Xiaotian did not want to pay attention to the two, but Cheng Beibei stopped Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think you, an Acquired realm cultivator, qualify to be an elder of our Sword Hall?¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not qualified, are you?¡± Yang Xiaotian replied coldly.


    Cheng Beibei choked, snorted, and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re in the Acquired realm, you can¡¯t even beat me, yet you serve as an elder in the Sword Hall, don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed for you!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian went straight towards the Book Pavilion.


    Seeing this, Cheng Beibei became furious, and with a sword thrust towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s back, she shouted, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, the princess is speaking to you, did you hear me! Stop right there!¡±


    Just as Cheng Beibei¡¯s sword was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian¡¯s back, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian turned around, dodged her sword, and then, he spun around with a flying kick,nding it directly on her body.


    Bang!


    Cheng Beibei was kicked by Yang Xiaotian and flew out, crashing against a stone pir behind her.


    The stone pir trembled incessantly.


    Yang Zhong was stunned.


    Blood spilled from the corner of Cheng Beibei¡¯s mouth, disbelief on her face,


    ¡°Acquired tenth stage?!¡±


    The kick Yang Xiaotian had just delivered contained the power of the Acquired tenth stage.


    How was that possible!


    Yang Zhong¡¯s face was also filled with disbelief.


    It had been less than five months since Yang Xiaotian awakened his Martial Soul, and now he was already at the Acquired tenth stage?


    ¡°If there¡¯s a next time, I¡¯ll incapacitate you with one kick!¡± Yang Xiaotian coldly nced at Cheng Beibei, referring to her sneak attack from behind, and after speaking, he entered the Book Pavilion.


    Cheng Beibei cried out, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I am the princess, and yet you dare to raise your hand against me. I will definitely report this to my father, the king, and have you dragged out and beheaded!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian ignored her tantrum, and upon entering the Book Pavilion, he began to search for ancient Long n characters.


    Finally, on thest floor of the Book Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian found materials regarding the ancient Long n characters.


    Hepared them one by one to the characters on the small saber, and in no time, he managed to trante the text on the small saber.


    It turned out this small saber was called the Heavenly Dragon Saber, and there were two of them. Whenbined, they served as the key to unlocking the Heavenly Dragon Treasure, left by a Long n powerhouse in the Emperor Realm. As for which Long n powerhouse it was, the small saber did not specify, but since it was the Emperor Realm, the treasure it left behind was certainly astonishing for Yang Xiaotian at present.


    Above the Innate Grandmaster was the Martial King, and above the Martial King was the Martial Ancestor, while the Martial Emperor stood even higher, surpassing the Martial Ancestor!


    ¡°Heavenly Dragon Saber,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered.


    Could the other be in the hands of the Blood Saber Gang as well?


    It seemed that he might need to visit the headquarters of the Blood Saber Gang in the future.


    While Yang Xiaotian was searching for the Long n characters, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also learned about Cheng Beibei being kicked away by Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Acquired tenth stage?¡± Lin Yong was astonished and said to Chen Yuan with a wry smile, ¡°It seems this young fellow has quite a few secrets.¡±


    Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile, ¡°Perhaps in two years, he really might be able to defeat Hu Xing.¡±


    Thinking back to two months ago, when Yang Xiaotian dered he would defeat Hu Xing in two years, Lin Yong felt conflicted inside..

 Chapter 67 - 67 Myriad Dragons Divine Flame

    Chapter 67: Myriad Dragons Divine me


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hu Xing learned that Cheng Beibei had been kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, and that Yang Xiaotian had already broken through to the tenth level of the Acquired stage, so he dug up the yard¡¯s soil all over again.


    ¡°Acquired tenth level, Acquired tenth level! Yang Xiaotian, I refuse to believe that you can break through to the Martial King Realm in two years!¡±


    Hu Xing¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous fury.


    Although he didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could break through to the Martial King Realm in two years, his intent to kill Yang Xiaotian grew stronger and more urgent in his heart.


    He was desperate to kill Yang Xiaotian!


    He absolutely couldn¡¯t let Yang Xiaotian live for another two years.


    After tranting the text of the Long n on the Heavenly Dragon Saber, Yang Xiaotian did not leave, but continued to stay on thest floor of the Book Pavilion to read books rted to the Long n.


    On thisst floor, there weren¡¯t a few books rted to the Long n, totaling six.


    It was a good chance for Yang Xiaotian to learn about the affairs of the Long n.


    After all, he was cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, and he might have to interact with the Long n in the future.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t recognize the script of the Long n, but fortunately, one of the books contained a trantion, and after he read it, he got quite familiar with the script of the Long n.


    However, it was a pity that these six books about the Long n were all about their rted affairs and neither about the Long n¡¯s cultivation techniques nor their martial skills.


    After finishing reading the six books, Yang Xiaotian finally left the Book Pavilion.


    After leaving the Book Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian went to the Sword Hall, having already subdued the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, he wanted to ask Chen Changqing if he knew about any other Divine mes.


    As for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s visit, Chen Changqing and the others naturally weed him warmly.


    However, learning that Yang Xiaotian hade to inquire about Divine mes, Chen Changqing and the others were rendered speechless.


    Chen Changqing said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian, actually besides the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, I indeed know about the location of another Divine me.¡±


    ¡°Really!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed joyfully upon hearing this.


    Originally, he had not held out much hope, but to his surprise, Chen Changqing actually did know of another Divine me.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s joyful expression, Chen Changqing nodded with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right, I also know about the location of the Myriad Dragons


    Divine me.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Dragons Divine me!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in delight.


    The Myriad Dragons Divine me was ranked even higher than the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire on the Abnormal Fire List, cing at the eleventh position.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s excited expression, Chen Changqing said, ¡°The Myriad


    Dragons Divine me is within the True Dragon Divine Sect of the Divine


    Dragon Empire.¡±


    The Divine Dragon Empire, the True Dragon Divine Sect? Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    Chen Changqing added, ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect is one of the ten Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart suddenly chilled considerably.


    Although he wasn¡¯t clear about the actual strength of the True Dragon Divine Sect, he did know what the concept of the ten Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire entailed.


    Such a sect was a colossus even to the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    With such a colossus, any disciple stretching out a single finger could wipe him out cleanly.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression, Chen Changqing said, ¡°Actually, Xiaotian, with your talent, you might very well have the opportunity to join the True Dragon Divine Sect in the future.¡±


    ¡°Join the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡± Yang Xiaotian was profoundly shocked.


    ¡°Yes!¡± said Chen Changqing, his expression serious, ¡°These Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire, every ten years, recruit a batch of talented disciples from academies across all the great kingdoms.¡±


    ¡°Once you join the Tiandou Academy of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom in the future and stand out, it¡¯s possible that you will be selected by sects like the


    True Dragon Divine Sect, these imperial Supreme Sects.¡±


    The Tiandou Imperial Kingdom has dozens of subordinate countries.


    The Divine Sea Country is one of the subordinate countries of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    And the Tiandou Academy is the highest educational institution of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, and the goal of all students from the Divine Sea Country and the surrounding countries¡¯ academies.


    If someone from the surrounding countries could join the Tiandou Academy, it would be an honor beyond measure.


    ¡°Join Tiandou Academy.¡± Yang Xiaotian was profoundly moved.


    Chen Changqing nodded, ¡°Next summer vacation will be when Tiandou Academy recruits new students.¡±


    Next summer vacation, huh?


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    To join Tiandou Academy, he must participate in the Divine Sea Country¡¯s academypetition andpete against students from other top academies in the Divine Sea Country. As long as he secured a ce in the top ten, he could take part in the new student assessment at Tiandou Academy.


    So in one year, he would need to be among the top ten in the Divine Sea Country.


    Top ten!


    This year, he would need to work hard to enhance his strength.


    Although he was confident in securing a ce in the top ten of the Divine Sea


    Country, he would still need to undergo the new student assessment at Tiandou Academy andpete with geniuses from major academies in surrounding countries.


    The thought of crossing swords with talents from major academies in surrounding countries made Yang Xiaotian¡¯s blood boil with excitement.


    ¡°It¡¯s extremely difficult to sessfully subdue a Divine me,¡± He Le interjected at this moment. ¡°Actually, you could try to subdue an Abnormal


    Fire.¡±


    ¡°Abnormal Fire,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, startled.


    ¡°Yes,¡± He Le said with a smile, ¡°In fact, there¡¯s an Abnormal Fire within the Sword Hall.¡±


    Hearing that there was an Abnormal Fire within the Sword Hall, Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised.


    ¡°There is an Abnormal Fire in the Sword Hall,¡± Chen Changqing said with a smile. ¡°In the past, it took Guo Jia a tremendous effort to acquire it. However, Lord Guo Jia was unable to subdue it sessfully. That mass of Abnormal Fire is still kept in the depths of the Sword Hall, but Lord Guo Jia set a rule that only those who haveprehended all one hundred Stone Swords and obtained the legacy of the Sword Hall are allowed to enter the depths of the Sword Hall and subdue this Abnormal Fire.¡±


    ¡°Comprehended all one hundred Stone Swords?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    ¡°Yes, any student whoprehends all one hundred Stone Swords will be the Sword Hall Master and receive the legacy of the Sword Hall, ¡± Chen


    Changqing exined. ¡°Then, you¡¯ll be allowed to enter the depths of the Sword


    Hall.¡¯


    ¡°This Abnormal Fire, do you know what kind it is?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡± Chen Changqing revealed.


    Nine Phoenixes Golden me!


    An existence within the top ten of the Abnormal Fire List, ranked ninth!


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    He never expected that deep within the Sword Hally the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Divine mes were rare in Heaven and Earth, and the strongest below them were the Abnormal Fires.


    An Abnormal Fire that ranked in the top ten was absolutely extraordinary.


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian left the Sword Hall.


    ¡°What do you think, how long will it take Xiaotian toprehend all one hundred Stone Swords?¡± Ren Feixue asked.


    ¡°Probably a year,¡± Chen Changqing said uncertainly.


    ¡°A year? Impossible!¡± He Le shook his head upon hearing this.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent was monstrous, in He Le¡¯s view, it would take at least three years toprehend all one hundred Stone Swords.


    Leaving the Sword Hall and passing by Hundred Swords za, Yang Xiaotian paused for a while. However, seeing that it was alreadyte, he decided not to meditate on the swords and resolved toe earlier the next day.


    Aftering back from the Book Pavilion, Luo Qing brought Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other four to meet with Yang Xiaotian, informing him that Liao Kun and the others had ingested the elixirs and wished to follow Yang Xiaotian.


    Right away, Yang Xiaotian gave Liao Kun and the others a meeting gift, each receiving a Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    ¡°A Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill!¡± Liao Kun and the others were astonished as they looked at the five Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pills in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    In the past, when they were in the Red Saber Sect, the sect would distribute elixirs every six months, but it was only a Superior Dragon-Tiger Elixir, without even premium quality, let alone supreme quality.


    Yang Xiaotian, a bit embarrassed, said, ¡°These Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pills are somewhatcking. Next month, I will give you Ultimate Four Symbols Spirit Pills.¡±


    Liao Kun and the others were momentarily stunned..

 Chapter 68: The Next Hall Master of Sword Hall

    Chapter 68: The Next Hall Master of Sword Hall


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Young Master, did you just say top-grade?!¡± After a while, Liao Kun spoke up.


    He suspected that he might have misheard.


    Top-grade, such an elixir was exceedingly rare. It was rumored that the Emperor of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom had acquired a top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill and couldn¡¯t bear to consume it.


    Next month, Yang Xiaotian was going to distribute top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills to them?


    ¡°You didn¡¯t mishear just now, the Young Master did mention top-grade,¡± Luo Qing said with a smile, and then spread his palm open to reveal the top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill that Yang Xiaotian had given him.


    ¡°Top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill!¡± Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other three were astounded.


    ¡°This top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill is what the Young Master gave to me today,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°If you follow the Young Master and serve him well, he will not let you down.¡±


    This time, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, Chen Yishan, and the other two no longer doubted.


    ¡°We swear to follow the Young Master to the death,¡± Liao Kun and the others excitedly bowed in salute.


    ¡°The Young Master¡¯s capabilities are beyond your imagination,¡± Luo Qing told Liao Kun and the others. ¡®You will feel fortunate in the future for how lucky you are to be able to follow the Young Master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his hand and then helped Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others to stand up, asking them to go back to their cultivation.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian called Ate and Ali over and asked them to see if they could purchase the neighboring residences the next day.


    Now, with over forty people, the residence seemed a bit small, and there were not enough rooms.


    So, there was a pressing need to expand the residence.


    At the same time, Yang Xiaotian told them that as long as the neighboring residences were willing to sell, it was eptable even if the price was a bit higher.


    ¡°Rest assured, Young Master. We will go ask first thing tomorrow,¡± Ate said respectfully.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, and then gave each of them a cup of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    After Luo Qing, Ate, and the third person left, Medicine Cauldronined irritably, ¡°I say, little guy, do you think Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water is soy milk? Giving out a cup to this one today, another to that one tomorrow? If you keep wasting it like this, in less than a year, your little pond of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water will be all used up!¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°If it runs out, Master Ding and I will just go find more.¡±


    Medicine Cauldron said grumpily, ¡°Find more, my foot. Do you think Heavenly


    Tribtion Thunder Water can be found just anywhere?¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°As long as one wishes to find it, one will always be able to.¡±


    Medicine Cauldron couldn¡¯t be bothered to voice any further opinion.


    After that, Yang Xiaotian began to refine Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    An hour or soter, a top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill was born.


    Seeing that it was still early, Yang Xiaotian refined another one, and then he started cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The next day, early in the morning, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the academy¡¯s Hundred Swords za.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian arrive at Hundred Swords za so early, the students practicing swordy around it immediately crowded over. ¡°Divine Yang is going toprehend the Stone Sword again!¡±


    A crowd of students shouted out loud.


    Yang Xiaotian broke into a sweat.


    Ignoring the students flooding over like a tide, Yang Xiaotian stood in front of the thirty-first Stone Sword and began hisprehension.


    Before long, the long-missed Sword Qi shot up into the sky again.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian had resumedprehending the Stone Sword after several days, both set aside what they were doing and hurried over.


    Whether it was because Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mastery of the Sword Dao had deepened or for some other reason, it took him just over an hour to fullyprehend the thirty-first Stone Sword.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian moved on toprehend the thirty-second one.


    Next was the thirty-third one.


    Yang Xiaotian waspletely immersed in the world of the Sword Dao.


    By the time he finished contemting the fortieth Stone Sword and stopped, he realized that the sky had turnedpletely dark.


    Although the sky waspletely dark, the students surrounding Hundred Swords za were still packed tightly together.


    However, seeing that it was gettingte, Yang Xiaotian did not continue to contemte and left Hundred Swords za.


    Chen Changqing, He Le, and Ren Feixue, along with two others, learned that Yang Xiaotian had contemted up to the fortieth Stone Sword. Their mouths hung open for a long time, unable to utter half a word.


    Chen Changqing shook his head with a wry smile, ¡°I take back what I said as well.¡±


    Yesterday he said that Yang Xiaotian should be able to understand a hundred Stone Swords within a year.


    But now it seemed, why would it even take a year.


    He Lets face was also at a loss for words.


    Ren Feixue said with aplex expression, ¡°It seems that it won¡¯t be long before our Sword Hall has a new Hall Master.¡±


    The Sword Hall was left by the founder of Divine Sword Academy and was also the first Hall Master of the Sword Hall.


    However, since his departure, the Sword Hall had gone without a new Hall Master for hundreds of years.


    Thinking that Yang Xiaotian was going to be the new Hall Master of the Sword Hall, Chen Changqing and the other four had mixed feelings. They had thought countless times about who would be the next Hall Master of the Sword Hall, but they had never imagined that the next Hall Master would be an eight-year-old child.


    After Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence, Ate and Ali came to tell him that both of the neighboring houses had agreed to sell, but the price was about ten thousand gold higher than the market rate. If he were to buy both houses, it would cost him approximately three hundred thousand gold.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately gave Ate and Ali three hundred thousand gold to go andplete the procedures the next day.


    At the same time, he gave each of them a piece of top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    With Ate and Ali possessing the bloodline of the Golden Divine n, they both had the potential to be gods in the future. Thus, Yang Xiaotian spared no effort in cultivating them.


    If he were to leave the Martial Soul World in the future, the two of them could protect his family in his stead.


    However, when Yang Xiaotian asked about the cultivation progress of the newly acquired ves, he was somewhat speechless. Out of the thirty-seven people who ingested the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to cultivate, only four sessfully broke through to the Innate level.


    Thirty-three people failed.


    Yang Xiaotian could only refine more top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids. Along with the leftovers from before, he had a total of thirty-three quantities, so he let the thirty-three people continue to ingest and cultivate.


    Simultaneously, he called over Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and a few others, instructing them to go to farther cities the next day to buy even more ves at the peak of the Acquired Tenth Stage.


    Once the residences on both sides were bought the next day, he could amodate a hundred more ves.


    After giving a hundred thousand gold to Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others, Yang Xiaotian looked at the empty Space Ring, shook his head, and chuckled, ¡°Earning money is hard, but spending it is easy.¡±


    In the past few days, he had nearly spent the more than five hundred thousand gold he had umted.


    Putting on the Dragon Head Mask, Yang Xiaotian went to Wind Cloud Commerce Guild on his own.


    He still had more than twenty top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs that he had not


    dealt with and could sell to Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    Now, the top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were of no use to him and were considered garbage; they were even a waste of space in the Space Ring.


    Arriving at Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Yang Xiaotian did not expect to encounter Wen Jingyi from Xingyue City.


    Wen Jingyi had just been transferred to Divine Sword City a few days ago and was unable to hide her surprise and delight upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again.


    Learning that Wen Jingyi would be in charge of Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s business in Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°I have a batch of elixirs that I want to sell to Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, I wonder if you can take them all.¡± After speaking, he took out twenty-six top-grade Dragon -Tiger Elixirs.


    Last time, Yang Xiaotian sold ten high-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, and Wen Jingyi thought that what Yang Xiaotian was selling today were also high-grade ones. But when she opened the first jade bottle, she was taken aback.


    ¡°Top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir!¡±


    Wen Jingyi trembled as she opened the bottles one by one..

 Chapter 69: Unfortunately, My Daughter Is Already Married

    Chapter 69: Unfortunately, My Daughter Is Already Married


    Trantor: 549690339


    All within the jade vial were supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs!


    A total of twenty-six pills!


    When Wen Jingyi opened all the jade vials, her hands trembled uncontrobly.


    She prided herself on having a strong heart, but upon seeing the twenty-six supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs before her, her heart ached, and it took her a long while to calm down.


    ¡°Sir, are you nning to sell these twenty-six supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs directly to our guild?¡± Wen Jingyi¡¯s voice quivered.


    ¡°Hmm, yes, sell them directly. How much for one supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    He urgently needed money to buy ves and a manor, and couldn¡¯t be bothered to wait for an auction.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian intended to sell the twenty-six supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs directly to her guild, Wen Jingyi¡¯s hands shook even more.


    These were twenty-six supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    The sensation they would cause if auctioned by their guild would be immense.


    The impact would definitely surpass the previous auction of the fourteen bottles of supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    It could even elevate the prestige of their guild to a higher level.


    ¡°Sir, what do you think of 25,000 Gold Coins per pill?¡± Wen Jingyi proposed, then awaited Yang Xiaotian¡¯s reply anxiously.


    Seeing how nervous Wen Jingyi was, Yang Xiaotian responded, ¡°That¡¯s fine,


    25,000 Gold coins.¡±


    Beforeing, he had researched the market price for supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, and 25,000 Gold Coins was a decent offer.


    When Yang Xiaotian agreed,


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s eyes reddened with joy, and she excitedly thanked him, ¡°Thank you, sir.¡±


    She knew how important these twenty-six supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were to their guild.


    ¡°From now on, you can call me Lord Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Since he cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art and wore a Dragon Head Mask, the title Lord Long seemed appropriate.


    ¡°Yes, sir,¡± Wen Jingyi quickly replied reverently, then personally went to prepare the Gold Coins.


    25,000 Gold Coins for one pill meant 650,000 Gold Coins for twenty-six.


    Even for Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, it would be somewhat difficult to immediately produce 650,000 Gold Coins.


    With all her efforts, Wen Jingyi managed to gather 650,000 Gold Coins in the shortest time possible and ced them before Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t bother to count, just took them and left.


    However, upon leaving, Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked, ¡°Does your guild purchase sublime-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs?¡±


    Sublime-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs!


    Wen Jingyi stared at Yang Xiaotian, utterly astonished, and felt a sensation of breathlessness,¡± Sir, you¡­ you mean sublime-grade?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, sublime-grade, ¡± Yang Xiaotian confirmed, ¡°How much does your guild offer for one sublime-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir?¡±


    Although using Divine me for alchemy was very exhausting and consumed a lot of True Qi, if the price for sublime-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs was good, then he would sell those instead in the future.


    ¡°It should be between 90,000 and 100,000 Gold Coins,¡± Wen Jingyi took a deep breath, trying not to faint, ¡°If you have them, sir, I will seek approval from our headquarters right now.¡±


    ¡°Next time,¡± Yang Xiaotian nced at her, ¡°Have your guild prepare a million Gold Coins for half a month from now. I¡¯lle back then.¡± Having said that, he disappeared into the darkness.


    A million!


    Wen Jingyi stared into the darkness where Yang Xiaotian had vanished, stunned for a long time.


    Initially, she thought that if he had any sublime-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs¡ª the legendary elixirs¡ªhe certainly wouldn¡¯t have many, perhaps just one or two at most. She never expected him to instruct their guild to prepare a million Gold Coins!


    A million Gold Coins, was that for ten pills?


    Ten top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs!


    Wen Jingyi took deep breaths.


    Yang Xiaotian returned to the estate, and the Dragon Head Mask on his face automatically disappeared.


    Over these days, his artifact refining skills had improved, and he had re-refined the Dragon Head Mask. Now it had been crafted by him into a top-grade spirit artifact that could be retracted at the mere thought.


    Of course, a top-grade spirit artifact like the Dragon Head Mask could also shield his aura and offered strong defense.


    With six hundred and sixty-five thousand Gold Coins, Yang Xiaotian felt much more secure.


    In a few days, he nned to continue purchasing the surrounding estates.


    They didn¡¯t need to be toorge, amodating about a thousand people would suffice.


    After refining two top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills and two top-grade


    Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, Yang Xiaotian began to cultivate the Primordial Dragon


    Through consistent practice of the Primordial Dragon Art over these days, he had awakened the strength of eleven True Dragons.


    At the same time, his ck Tortoise Martial Soul and ck Snake Martial Spirit had undergone significant changes.


    The body of the ck Tortoise Martial Soul had grown much more robust, with more patterns on its shell, while the ck Snake Martial Spirit had grown two ws on its belly, and two bulges had formed on its forehead.


    It seemed that before long, the ck Snake Martial Spirit wouldpletely transform into a ck Dragon.


    Early the next day, Yang Xiaotian returned to the Hundred Swords za toprehend the forty-first Stone Sword.


    However, he hadn¡¯t expected that when he arrived, the Hundred Swords za was already packed with people, a sea of heads, with even Principal Lin Yong and Chen Yuan in attendance.


    Seeing Principal Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and a host of teachers and students waiting for him early at the Hundred Swords za, Yang Xiaotian was helpless.


    Before long, sword qi glowed brightly, once again illuminating the skies above Divine Sword City.


    Within Divine Sword City, countless experts watched the shining sword qi in the sky with mixed emotions.


    This year was destined to be the most unforgettable year in their lives.


    ¡°What a pity, what a pity,¡±mented Peng Zhigang, the Divine Sword City Lord, as he watched the sword qi that lit up the Nine Heavens.


    The experts at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion were taken aback, not understanding what their lord was regretting.


    ¡°What do you mean, my lord?¡± a subordinate asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity my daughter is already married,¡± Peng Zhigang said. The experts at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion were dripping with sweat.


    So that was what the City Lord regretted.


    But it seemed Yang Xiaotian was only eight years old.


    Even if your daughter wasn¡¯t married, there was an obvious mismatch in their ages.


    Unless, your daughter wanted to be a cougar.


    Of course, they only dared to mumble these thoughts to themselves.


    The forty-first Stone Sword posed some difficulty, so when Yang Xiaotian finished contemting the fiftieth Stone Sword, the night had already fallen deeply, and the silver moon hung high.


    Yang Xiaotian left the Hundred Swords za and returned to the estate. Seeing that it was alreadyte, he didn¡¯t refine any elixirs and began practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    At the same time, Yang Xiaotian again felt like there was not enough time.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian paused his cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art and thought about a problem.


    ¡°All medicines have their toxins,¡± he thought, realizing he couldn¡¯t take elixirs too frequently. But he now possessed the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, which could remove impurities from his body.


    If the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water could eliminate the toxicity of the medicine, did that mean he could continuously take top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills for cultivation?

 Chapter 70 - 70 City Lord’s Invitation

    Chapter 70: City Lord¡¯s Invitation


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian immediately woke up the Medicine Cauldron and shared his idea.


    The Medicine Cauldron, not mincing words, responded, ¡°Do you think that continuing to consume elixirs for cultivation and just expelling the pill toxins is all there is to it?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water can indeed expel pill toxins, but if you overconsume elixirs, eventually, your True Qi will be entirely transformed from the power of elixirs, leaving your True Qi rootless,¡± stated the Medicine Cauldron.


    ¡°However, now that you are capable of refining supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills, which are much purer than the top-quality ones, and given that you have Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, you could consume a supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill once every half month.¡±


    Every half month?


    Although somewhat disappointed, Yang Xiaotian thought that consuming a pill once every half month was still better than before.


    ¡°In the path of cultivation, don¡¯t always think about quickly advancing your realm,¡± the Medicine Cauldron said with a heavy heart: ¡®You have only just begun cultivating and should think about how to solidify your foundation.¡±


    ¡°Now, you can read more cultivation techniques and martial skills to broaden your horizons.¡±


    ¡°You can also read through the cultivation experiences of predecessors.¡±


    Hearing the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s advice which was akin to Luo Qing¡¯s, Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, Ate and Ali came and said that the paperwork for the houses on both sides wasplete.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian instructed them to hire craftsmen to connect the two houses, and eventually integrate all three. He also told them to renovate the two new houses.


    ¡°Oh, Young Master, this is an invitation sent by the City Lord. The City Lord is hosting a birthday banquet tonight and has invited you to attend,¡± Ate remembered something and said, taking out an invitation with golden lettering.


    The City Lord¡¯s birthday banquet?


    Yang Xiaotian took the invitation, opened it, and saw that inside was a personal message from Peng Zhigang, the City Lord of Divine Sword City. The handwriting was bold and powerful, inviting him to attend the fiftieth birthday banquet at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion that evening.


    Peng Zhigang¡¯s tone was sincere and polite, mentioning that he would await Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival at the mansion.


    Yang Xiaotian put away the invitation, deciding to make some time to attend in the evening since Peng Zhigang, the City Lord of Divine Sword City, had cordially invited him.


    After all, he might need the City Lord¡¯s assistance someday while staying in Divine Sword City.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the cultivation progress of the ves.


    Learning that this time fifteen people had broken through to the Innate level, Yang Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    But thinking of the eighteen who had not broken through to the Innate level, he felt stifled.


    Was it really worth spending so much on top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to train these people?


    After all, the cost of so much top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had already surpassed the market value of these individuals.


    Seeing that it was still early, Yang Xiaotian refined eighteen more portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and asked Ate and Ali to administer them to the remaining eighteen people for cultivation.


    He also instructed them to tell everyone that if they still couldn¡¯t break through to the Innate level this time, they would be left to fend for themselves.


    At the same time, Yang Xiaotian had Ate and Ali make arrangements to purchase arge batch of ingredients for refining Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Learning that Luo Qing was still in closed -door cultivation attempting to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, Yang Xiaotian told Ate to instruct their subordinates not to disturb Luo Qing.


    Yang Xiaotian returned to Hundred Swords za, which was still teeming with people.


    For the teachers and students at Divine Sword Academy, the opportunity to observe Yang Xiaotian¡¯sprehension of the Stone Swords was rare, so they had arrived early.


    Some had evene before the rooster crowed to secure a good spot.


    Yang Xiaotian started toprehend the fifty-first Stone Sword.


    However, having been invited by the City Lord of Divine Sword City for this evening, Yang Xiaotian only contemted five Stone Swords before leaving Hundred Swords za.


    When he returned to his residence, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and three others, who had been out for two days, had juste back. They did not disappoint Yang Xiaotian and brought back arge number of ves at the peak of the Acquired tenth level.


    Moreover, the quality of this batch of ves was clearly much higher than the previous batch.


    Looking at the fifty-three ves before him, Yang Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction and said to Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and five others, ¡°You¡¯ve done well. ¡±


    Liao Kun and the other five felt a sense of relief.


    ¡°The young master is too kind,¡± Liao Kun said with a smile. ¡°We are only doing our duty. If the young master requires more acquired tenth-grade peak ves, we can purchase them from farther cities, or even from Divine Sea Royal City.¡±


    Divine Sea Royal City?


    An idea struck Yang Xiaotian.


    If he had the time, he would also like to visit their King of Divine Sea¡¯s Royal City.


    And pay a visit to the Grand Pharmacist Hall Master of Divine Sea Country, Li Wen.


    Li Wen had given him an identity token before.


    ¡°We¡¯ll see about thatter,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, then had the fifty-three ves ingest the elixirs for control and transmitted the cultivation techniques to them.


    However, he currently had no top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid on him, so he let the fifty-three practice the cultivation technique.


    After having Ate arrange amodations for the fifty-three, Yang Xiaotian said to Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, ¡°There is a banquet at the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion tonight, you two wille with meter.¡±


    One should always bring a couple of people to carry things when attending a banquet.


    Apart from Luo Qing, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong were the strongest by his side, with one at the thirdyer of the Martial King and the other at the secondyer.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to take them to the City Lord¡¯s banquet, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong were naturally pleased and agreed readily.


    After that, Yang Xiaotian asked them to prepare and the three of them set off an hourter.


    Taking advantage of the extra hour, he hastily concocted some top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    One hourter, the three of them set off.


    The City Lord¡¯s Mansion was not far away, and soon, the three arrived.


    By the time they reached the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, it was already lit up withnterns, and the street in front of the mansion was filled with a variety of luxurious carriages, some of which were even drawn bv rare Spirit Beasts.


    Inparison to the guests who arrived in luxurious carriages, the three of them walking on foot seemed rather shabby.


    It seems I¡¯ll need to get a carriage of my own someday, Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to enter the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, suddenly, someone shouted from behind, ¡°Her Highness the Fourth Princess has arrived.¡± Surrounded by arge group of guards, a luxurious carriage drove up.


    The carriage curtain was pulled back, revealing Cheng Beibei.


    Besides Cheng Beibei, there was also Hu Xing.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected that City Lord Peng Zhigang had also invited Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing.


    At that moment, Cheng Beibei caught sight of Yang Xiaotian, and her eyes shot mes of fury, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±


    Hu Xing also had an unpleasant look when he saw Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored the two and walked into the City Lord¡¯s Mansion with Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong.


    Cheng Beibei stared daggers at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s back and gritted her teeth,


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ll make sure you get what¡¯sing to youter!¡±


    Just a few days ago, after being kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, she had practiced her cultivation desperately and, with the help of the royal resources, finally made her breakthrough to the Innate level yesterday.


    Later, she intended to take her revenge for that kick.


    Thinking of how she, a princess of a country, had been kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, she could not wait to crush him into a pulp.


    ¡°Princess, is that the same youngster who hurt you a few days ago? I¡¯ll teach him a good lesson right now for you!¡± A guard at the tenthyer of the Innate level stepped forward indignantly behind Cheng Beibei..

 Chapter 71 - 711 Will Avenge This Myself

    Chapter 71:1 Will Avenge This Myself


    Trantor: 549690339


    The guard hadn¡¯t waited for Cheng Beibei to speak before he drew his sword and thrust it fiercely towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone was taken aback; they hadn¡¯t expected Cheng Beibei¡¯s protector to suddenly strike at Yang Xiaotian.


    And it was at the gate of the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    Just as the opponent¡¯s sword was about to pierce through Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, Zhang Jingrong, who was beside him, drew her sword and shed downward.


    Instantly, there was a scream, as the guard¡¯s arm was severed in the blink of an eye.


    Zhang Jingrong kicked the man ten or so meters away, crashing him into the street at the entrance to the gate.


    Blood stained the entrance of the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion red.


    The sudden change in front of their eyes was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°Martial King secondyer!¡± Hu Xing eximed, looking at Zhang Jingrong next to Yang Xiaotian.


    The gentle-looking maid beside Yang Xiaotian was actually a Martial King secondyer master.


    She was the same as him, a Martial King secondyer!


    But wasn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian from Yang Family Manor? The strongest member of the Yang Family Manor, Yang Ming, was only in the Innate fifthver, so how


    could there be a Martial King Realm master beside Yang Xiaotian?


    How did he win her over?


    You should know, even the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion would find it difficult to recruit a Martial King Realm expert.


    Cheng Beibei was also shocked and taken aback.


    At that moment, Zhang Jingrong pointed her sword at Cheng Beibei and said coldly, ¡°Control your dog better. If you dare to take action against my young master again, I¡¯ll cripple you too!¡±


    Her foot had kicked into the Dantian of Cheng Beibei¡¯s guard just now; even if his Dantian wasn¡¯t destroyed, it was nearly so.


    ¡°You!¡± Cheng Beibei pointed at Zhang Jingrong, trembling with rage, unable to believe that a maid of Yang Xiaotian would dare to point a sword at her.


    ¡°How audacious!¡± The guards behind Cheng Beibei angrily drew their swords.


    ¡°Stop!¡± A loud shout rang out, authoritative without anger.


    Thismotion had already rmed Peng Zhigang.


    When Peng Zhigang learned that Cheng Beibei¡¯s guard had made a move on Yang Xiaotian at the gate of his City Lord¡¯s Mansion, his face looked extremely ugly.


    Today was his birthday feast, and a guard of Cheng Beibei dared to make a move at the entrance of his City Lord¡¯s Mansion. What the hell was this?


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian was an important guest he had invited.


    Seeing Peng Zhigang¡¯s arrival, Cheng Beibei¡¯s guards hesitated for a moment before ultimately sheathing their swords.


    On seeing Peng Zhigang, however, Cheng Beibei was furious, ¡°City Lord Peng, you¡¯ve arrived just in time. Yang Xiaotian¡¯s maid seriously injured my guard, and she even threatened to take me down. Take down Yang Xiaotian¡¯s maid for me! I want to throw her into the Heavenly Prison and punish her with death!¡±


    Peng Zhigang was already irked, but he didn¡¯t expect Cheng Beibei to actually y the victim first.


    However, since Cheng Beibei was a princess of Divine Sea Country, Peng


    Zhigang suppressed his anger and said, ¡°Your Highness Princess, Young Master Yang is an important guest I invited here today. Your guard attempted to assassinate Young Master Yang at the gate of my City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Isn¡¯t that going too far?¡±


    Cheng Beibei was startled, about to say more when Hu Xing quickly sped his fists and smiled at Peng Zhigang, ¡°City Lord Peng, the princess¡¯ subordinate, upon learning that the princess had been injured by Yang Xiaotian a few days ago, acted out of anger and surely was reckless. The princess and I apologize to you, City Lord Peng.¡±


    ¡°Upon returning, the princess will surely heavily punish that guard.¡±


    Hearing this, Peng Zhigang¡¯s expression eased a little. He turned and said to Yang Xiaotian with cupped hands, ¡°Young Master Yang, are you alright? I didn¡¯t expect such an incident; I am truly sorry.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand, ¡°No harm done, City Lord Peng is being too polite.¡±


    ¡°Young Master Yang is magnanimous,¡± Peng Zhigang finally felt relieved and very politely weed Yang Xiaotian into the mansion.


    Cheng Beibei saw that Peng Zhigang didn¡¯t mention Yang Xiaotian¡¯s maid seriously injuring her subordinates and ignored herpletely, yet weed Yang Xiaotian into the mansion, which made her even more furious.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you just wait, this isn¡¯t over!¡± Cheng Beibei resentfully watched Yang Xiaotian enter the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    Hu Xing pondered and said, ¡°Today is City Lord Peng¡¯s birthday banquet, Your


    Highness Princess, let¡¯s settle the ount with Yang Xiaotian another day.¡±


    Peng Zhigang, being the Divine Sword City Lord, was not an ordinary city lord; even the King of the Divine Sea Country sometimes had to give him respect.


    If there were too muchmotion at his birthday banquet, it would not look good for Peng Zhigang.


    However, Cheng Beibei coldly snorted, ¡°My affairs are none of your business!¡±


    and then entered the mansion with a group of guards.


    Hu Xing fell silent.


    Peng Zhigang invited Yang Xiaotian into the mansion and offered him the seat of honor. Yang Xiaotian declined at first but then took the first seat on the right side.


    By now, the hall was already filled with quite a number of people.


    When everyone saw Peng Zhigang personally go out to wee a kid and even allowed him the seat of honor, many felt miffed.


    Those who were invited by Peng Zhigang to his birthday banquet were naturally of no low status.


    Annoyed, a young man in a green robe sitting at the fourth seat on the right side asked, ¡°Who is this kid?¡±


    ¡°Yichun, this kid is the recently famous Yang Xiaotian, he is quite something,¡± Luo Junpeng, the vice president of Yunhui Academy, said with a smile that bely his words.


    Yunhui Academy, akin to Divine Sword Academy, was one of the four major academies in Divine Sea Country.


    However, the rtionship between Yunhui Academy and Divine Sword Academy was not harmonious.


    ¡°So it¡¯s him,¡± Deng Yichun sneered. ¡°Something quite special, my ass. I think he¡¯s just being hyped up by some ignorant people, praising him as if he¡¯s unparalleled on Earth and rare in the heavens.¡±


    Deng Yichun was indeed one of the four great Alchemists¡¯ direct disciples in Divine Sea Country, a peer of Qiu Haiqiu and Chen Zihan, and was the young elite of Divine Sea Country¡¯s Pharmacist world.


    Of course, not only was his alchemy talent high, but his Martial Soul and Martial Dao Talent were also formidable; he was the chief disciple of Yunhui Academy, with strengthparable to Hu Xing.


    However, Luo Junpengughed and said, ¡°Though people like to exaggerate, this Yang Xiaotian does have twin-level eleven Martial Souls; his talent is indeed impressive.¡±


    Deng Yichun coldly huffed, ¡°So what if his Martial Soul talent and Martial Dao talent are good? In terms of alchemy talent, I can crush him a hundred times over!¡±


    Luo Junpeng chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Martial Dao Talent were indeed astonishing, but there was no mention of any alchemy talent.


    At that moment, Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing entered.


    Seeing them, Deng Yichun stood up to greet Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian sitting at the first seat on the right side, Cheng Beibei snorted coldly and took the first seat on the left side.


    A whileter, Chen Zihan arrived, but Lin Yuan was upied with matters and could note.


    Overjoyed to see Chen Zihan, Cheng Beibei pulled her to sit next to her.


    ¡°Are your injuries all right now?¡± After a short chat, Chen Zihan said, ¡°In the future, sister will definitely teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson for you.¡±


    Cheng Beibei had heard about how Yang Xiaotian had kicked her flying.


    Staring at Yang Xiaotian, Cheng Beibei said hatefully, ¡°Sister doesn¡¯t need to take action, I will personally avenge this grievanceter..¡±

 Chapter 72: If You Dare, Compete with Me in

    Chapter 72: If You Dare, Compete with Me in


    Alchemy


    Peng Zhigang saw that most of the guests had arrived and began the banquet.


    He rose to his feet, holding up his ss to thank everyone foring, delivering a generous speech.


    After sitting down with everyone, Peng Zhigang raised his ss again and sincerely smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master Yang¡¯s Sword Dao Talent is unparalleled. I, Peng Zhigang, am truly impressed. Here¡¯s a toast to you.¡±


    Over the past month, every time Yang Xiaotianprehended the Stone Sword, he would always watch from a distance within his residence.


    It could be said that he was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s super fan.


    ¡°City Lord, you tter me too much,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied politely, raising his ss in return.


    Deng Yichun snorted inwardly as he heard Peng Zhigang praise Yang Xiaotian¡¯s unrivaled Sword Dao Talent.


    At that moment, Luo Junpeng spoke up, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve heard, but that mysterious alchemist sold twenty-six superior Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild this time!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it already. It¡¯s said that even the surrounding countries were stirred by this event. Many superpowers from those countries want to recruit this person, and some even offered a sky-high price!¡± Hu Xing also eximed in admiration.


    Peng Zhigang added with admiration, ¡°The appraisers of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild said that these twenty-six superior Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were all crafted this month. To produce twenty-six superior elixirs in one month¡ª this person¡¯s alchemy level is simply incredible!¡±


    The audience in the great hall immediately burst into discussion.


    A wave of amazement.


    None could help but revere.


    It was the news of this event that had brought people like Deng Yichun and Luo Junpeng to Divine Sword City.


    For alchemists like them, it would be a great honor to even meet this terrifyingly skilled alchemist and exchange a few words.


    ¡°Word has it that this person calls himself Lord Long,¡± Chen Zihan spoke, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest. ¡°This person might well be a master from the Long n!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve also heard that this person might be a high-level member of the Long n. He wears a Dragon Head Mask, and his skill of invisibility is extremely excellent, allowing him to vanish into darkness in the blink of an eye,¡± Zhang Dong, the head of the Zhang Family in Divine Sword City, said.


    The Zhang family was one of thergest families in Divine Sword City, and Zhang Dong was one of the top experts in the city.


    In no time, everyone was engrossed in discussing this mysterious Lord Long.


    Some even imed that Lord Long was a master who had withdrawn from the secr world.


    Others thought that Lord Long was an elder because his voice sounded very hoarse when he spoke with Wen Jingyi, indistinguishable from an old person¡¯s.


    Yang Xiaotian listened to the surrounding discussions and shook his head with a smile.


    After three rounds of drinks,


    Deng Yichun suddenly said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ve heard that your Sword Dao


    Talent is rare in a thousand years and that you are the foremost talent in our


    Divine Sea Country for hundreds of years. Since you canprehend the Stone Sword whenever you wish, why not give us a performance today at the birthday feast, and let us all broaden our horizons.¡±


    Everyone put down their sses.


    The initially lively scene quieted down.


    Perform?


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Deng Yichun, who spoke in a condescending tone, asking him to perform, and responded indifferently, ¡°And who might you be?¡±


    And who might you be?


    The crowd was taken aback.


    Deng Yichun¡¯s expression became a bit unsightly.


    Luo Junpeng, vice chancellor of the Yunhai Academy, immediately said, ¡°This is our Yunhui Academy¡¯s top disciple, Young Master Deng Yichun. Young Master Deng is the direct disciple of Master Wu Qi, one of the four great alchemists of our Divine Sea Country.¡±


    ¡°So he is the direct disciple of Master Wu Qi, one of the great alchemists of our Divine Sea Country,¡± Yang Xiaotian said. ¡°In that case, Young Master Deng¡¯s level of alchemy must be quite high. I wonder if you can craft the supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. Why not give us a performance and let us all broaden our horizons as well?¡±


    Deng Yichun nearly choked.


    Even his master wouldn¡¯t dare to guarantee that he could craft the supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid every time, let alone him.


    At this moment, Cheng Beibei, who couldn¡¯t stand to see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attitude, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you talk as if you could craft the supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. Forget the supreme grade; I bet you can¡¯t even produce an inferior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.¡±


    Just as Peng Zhigang was about to speak, Cheng Beibei suddenly leapt up,nding in the center of the hall, and then pointed her sword at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t you boast of being unrivaled in swordmanship? I want to learn your sword techniques.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows furrowed.


    ¡°What, are you afraid?¡± Cheng Beibei sneered, ¡°As a Sword Hall Elder, are you really too scared to ept a challenge from a first-year student?¡±


    ¡°Afraid?¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Today is City Lord Peng¡¯s birthday banquet, and I¡¯m worried that fighting you might make you vomit blood and dirty the hall.¡±


    Hearing this, Cheng Beibei became enraged, no longer concealing her aura, as Innate True Qi began to circte.


    ¡°The Innate Realm!¡±


    ¡°Princess No. Four has broken through to the Innate Realm.¡±


    ¡°Princess No. Four just turned ten years old, right? Reaching the Innate Realm at fourteen, her talent is astonishing.¡±


    In the grand hall, exmations of admiration filled the air.


    At that moment, Cheng Beibei suddenly thrust her sword towards Yang Xiaotian, who was still seated, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take my Innate Sword.¡± With a flicker of her sword, it shone brilliantly.


    After breaking through to the Innate Realm, Cheng Beibei¡¯s strength had increased dramatically.


    This sword technique was one she had just learned, the Innate Sword Technique.


    She was confident that this sword strike would defeat Yang Xiaotian. Quickly, Cheng Beibei¡¯s sword thrust reached right in front of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face.


    If she were tond this thrust, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face would surely have a hole pierced through it.


    Peng Zhigang was just about to intervene when suddenly, the seated Yang Xiaotian raised his hand and mped the tip of Cheng Beibei¡¯s sword between two fingers.


    The crowd was taken aback.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian leapt up and kicked out.


    ¡°Be careful!¡± Chen Zihan saw this and her pretty face changed, urgently crying out.


    However, no sooner had her words fallen than they saw Cheng Beibei once again kicked away by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s foot.


    Along with the sword, they were both sent flying.


    Cheng Beibei crashed heavily into the center of the hall, a mouthful of blood spraying out.


    ¡°Your Highness Princess!¡±


    ¡°Beibei!¡±


    Chen Zihan and Cheng Beibei¡¯s guards rushed forward.


    Everyone was astounded.


    Clearly, no one had expected Cheng Beibei to be kicked away.


    Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent was heaven-defying, talent in Sword Dao was one thing, and actual strength was another. Yang Xiaotian had only just begun cultivating not long ago, yet Cheng Beibei, at the Innate Realm, had not withstood a single move from him.


    Even Peng Zhigang was greatly surprised.


    Yang Xiaotian had made his move with apparently Acquired Tenth Stage strength, yet Cheng Beibei was still sent flying by a kick.


    ¡°City Lord Peng, my apologies for dirtying the hall,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Peng Zhigang.


    Just as Peng Zhigang was about to speak, Chen Zihan, who had checked Cheng Beibei¡¯s injuries, angrily pointed at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you bullied a girl as a boy, what kind of skill is that?¡±


    ¡°If you have the skill,pete with me in alchemy!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked coldly at Chen Zihan. It was clearly Cheng Beibei who had initiated the attack, and he surely couldn¡¯t just sit there without reacting, allowing her to stab a hole in his face, right?


    Hearing Chen Zihan challenge him to an alchemypetition, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face became somewhat unnatural, ¡°You want topete with me in alchemy?¡±


    ¡°Correct!¡± Chen Zihan sneered, ¡°Are you afraid? I suppose it¡¯s expected; you probably can¡¯t even recognize all the medicines.. Beibei told me before, you¡¯ve impersonated a Pharmacist from our Pharmacist Hall, haven¡¯t you?¡±

 Chapter 73 - 73 Luo Qjng Breakthrough

    Chapter 73: Luo Qjng Breakthrough


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hearing that Yang Xiaotian was impersonating a Pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall, there was a stir in the hall.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian was now an Elder of the Sword Hall at Divine Sword Academy. If he were to impersonate a Pharmacist Hall Pharmacist, it would be quite beneath his dignity or, to put it bluntly, a shameful act.


    Upon hearing this, Deng Yichun immediately let out a sneer, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, for someone who is an Elder of the Sword Hall at Divine Sword Academy, to think you would stoop so low as to impersonate a Pharmacist, I didn¡¯t expect the Elders of the Sword Hall to be so shameless.¡±


    ¡°Impersonating a Pharmacist of the Pharmacist Hall, the Hall can hold him ountable, right?¡± Luo Junpeng said with schadenfreude.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored Deng Yichun and Luo Junpeng, looking at Chen Zihan with an unchanged expression, ¡°Impersonating a Pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Zihan sneered, ¡°What, won¡¯t you admit it? Just over a month ago, you stood at our Pharmacist Hall¡¯s entrance iming that you concocted the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in just half an hour and passed the Pharmacist exam!¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s not impersonating one of our Pharmacist Hall Pharmacists, what is it then?!¡±


    Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, faces filled with disbelief.


    In the countless years of the Divine Dragon Empire, there has never been a prodigy who passed the Pharmacist exam at the age of eight, let alone in just half an hour.


    No wonder no one believed it.


    ¡°Your alchemy level is trash; naturally, you can¡¯t concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in half an hour. You being trash doesn¡¯t mean everyone else is, and just because you can¡¯t do something doesn¡¯t mean nobody else can,¡± said Yang Xiaotian expressionlessly.


    Chen Zihan, a luminary among the younger generation of pharmacists from Divine Sea Country, turned green with rage upon hearing a mere child like Yang Xiaotian calling her alchemy level trash.


    Seeing this, Peng Zhigang tried to smooth things over, ¡°Miss Chen, what Young Master Yang said was perhaps unintentional. Today is my birthday feast, so let¡¯s drop the matter,¡± and thenmanded for Cheng Beibei to be taken away for treatment.


    An unintentional remark? Hearing Peng Zhigang say this, Yang Xiaotian knew Peng Zhigang also did not believe he could pass the Pharmacist exam in half an hour.


    However, he did not exin further.


    Seeing Peng Zhigang calling an end to the issue, Chen Zihan could only re hatefully at Yang Xiaotian before sitting down.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian did not parade around falsely using the title of Pharmacist, so she could not well hold him ountable for the matter.


    The banquet continued for a while before finally concluding.


    Afterwards, Peng Zhigang personally saw Yang Xiaotian out of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and invited him to visit whenever he had time, reassuring him that should he encounter any issues, he was wee to seek his assistance.


    Yang Xiaotian left with Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong.


    They had not gone far before encountering Deng Yichun and Luo Junpeng.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Deng Yichunughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Young Master Yang¡¯s alchemy level would be so astonishing, passing the Pharmacist exam in just half an hour. Truly unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed.¡±


    Sensing the sarcasm and mockery in the other¡¯s words, Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked, ¡°You¡¯ll be participating in the Pharmacist Competition as well, won¡¯t you?¡±


    Deng Yichun was startled, not expecting Yang Xiaotian to suddenly ask him that, but he nodded, ¡°I will.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear.¡± Yang Xiaotian said, then left with Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian walk away, Deng Yichun frowned slightly, wondering what exactly Yang Xiaotian meant.


    Luo Junpengughed, ¡°That kid won¡¯t actually be participating, could he?¡±


    Deng Yichunughed, ¡°You actually believe this kid can concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in half an hour?¡±


    The twoughed together.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we should continue seeking out news about Lord Long,¡± Luo Junpeng said. ¡°The Sect Master mentioned that if this person could be an Elder of our academy, any request he makes can be met, and he would have unlimited ess to any of our academy¡¯s resources.¡±


    The two departed.


    Returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian began summoning the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire to concoct a top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    After crafting one top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he began cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The next day, when Yang Xiaotian stopped his cultivation, suddenly an astonishing pressure emanated from the western courtyard.


    Feeling this tremendous pressure, Yang Xiaotian smiled; after several days of secluded hard cultivation, Luo Qing had finally achieved a breakthrough!


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at Luo Qing¡¯s courtyard, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, Chen Yishan, and the other five were also there.


    They saw Luo Qing emerging from his room, full of vitality and energy.


    He was apletely different person than before.


    ¡°Congrattions, Sect Master!¡± Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other five approached to congratte Luo Qing.


    Luo Qing let out a heartyugh, nodded to the five, and then walked up to Yang


    Xiaotian to bow deeply, ¡°Luo Qing owes all his fortunes today to Young Master Yang, and is willing to go through fire and water for him without any hesitation!¡±


    These were his heartfelt words.


    If it weren¡¯t for Yang Xiaotian, he might still benguishing in the ve market, subject to whipping, insults, or even starvation.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled at Luo Qing, ¡°Your aplishments today are also the result of your own efforts.¡±


    Luo Qing had been following him for over a month, diligently cultivating every day, and he had seen it all.


    ¡°However, even though you have broken through to Martial Ancestor, you must not becent. Strive to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm as soon as possible!¡± Yang Xiaotian encouraged with a smile.


    At the mention of the Martial Emperor Realm!


    Luo Qing¡¯s body trembled with resolve as he assured Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Rest assured, Young Master, I will endeavor to break through to the Martial


    Emperor Realm as soon as possible, to serve you with unwavering loyalty!¡±


    Previously, the Martial Emperor Realm seemed beyond his wildest dreams, but now, with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s help and the Wooden Emperor Skill he had been gifted, it felt within reach.


    Hearing Luo Qing pledge to strive for an early breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other five were also deeply shaken, knowing full well the significance of the Martial Emperor Realm as core disciples of the Red Saber Sect.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian addressed Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others, ¡°Your aptitudes are also noteworthy. I have selected several cultivation techniques for you, and with your talents plus the techniques I¡¯ve provided, you are certainly capable of breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm in the future.¡±


    He then distributed a cultivation technique to each of Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others.


    epting the techniques, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others were overjoyed.


    ¡°Thank you, Young Master, we are ready to tread through des and leap into mes for you!¡± Liao Kun and the others bowed deeply.


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand dismissively, saying with a smile, ¡°There will indeed be times when I¡¯ll need your service in the future.¡±


    He then proceeded to concoct a premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid on the spot for Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others to witness.


    Even though Liao Kun and the others knew of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s exceptional alchemy level, watching him concoct a premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea still left them profoundly astounded.


    After concocting a batch of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids, Yang Xiaotian instructed Liao Kun and the others to administer them to the ves they had acquired the previous day for them to cultivate, and then he returned to Hundred Swords za to continueprehending the fifty-sixth Stone Sword.

 Chapter 74: 100 Gold for Each Person

    Chapter 74: 100 Gold for Each Person


    Trantor: 549690339


    After preparing a batch of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid this morning, Yang Xiaotian got to Hundred Swords za muchter than usual. By the time he arrived, the teachers and students there had been eagerly waiting for quite a while.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, everyone¡¯s spirits were instantly lifted.


    ¡°Divine Yang is here!¡±


    Someone shouted excitedly.


    With Divine Yang¡¯s arrival, the crowd¡¯s excitement surged again as soon as it had calmed.


    The excitement and fervor of the crowd made Yang Xiaotian blush.


    Feeling the warmth of the crowd¡¯s enthusiasm, Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled.


    ¡°Divine Yang, we love you!¡± shouted many of the female students at the school.


    ¡°Divine Yang, we love you too!¡± numerous male students echoed.


    Yang Xiaotian felt goosebumps all over his body.


    Arriving in front of the fifty-sixth Stone Sword, he tuned out the noise from the outside world and immersed himself in the world of swords.


    Just like yesterday, after contemting only five Stone Swords, Yang Xiaotian stopped.


    Since he had arrivedte, the sky had already turned dark, after he finished contemting the fifth Stone Sword.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at thepletely darkened sky andmented theck of time once again.


    However, once he hadprehended a hundred Stone Swords, time wouldn¡¯t be as tight.


    Then, he would have more time for alchemy, artifact refining, studying cultivation techniques, and reading various books.


    After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian refined two more top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills before beginning his practice of the Primordial Dragon Art.


    With diligent practice in recent days, his strength had increased significantly, having already broken through to the middle phase of the Innate Sixth Layer.


    Also, before each practice session of the Primordial Dragon Art, he would invariably swallow a mouthful of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    With the continuous cleansing marrow washing tendons by the Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength and defense were constantly strengthened, even the flexibility of his body was continuously enhanced.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian prepared another batch of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for the ves he had bought the day before yesterday to consume and cultivate with.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian carried on as usual, going to Hundred Swords za toprehend the Stone Swords.


    The next few days went on in the same manner.


    He contemted five Stone Swords each day.


    After contemting the Stone Swords, he would return home to refine spirit pills and practice the Primordial Dragon Art.


    After several days, he finally reached the eightieth Stone Sword.


    Havingprehended through the eightieth Stone Sword, Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat relieved in his heart.


    Only twenty Stone Swords remained.


    Although the Stone Swords became more challenging toprehend as he progressed, Yang Xiaotian was confident he could finish contemting the remaining twenty within five days.


    Five days!


    By then, he would be the Master of the Sword Hall.


    He would obtain the inheritance of the Sword Hall and tame the Nine Phoenixes Golden me!


    However, when he returned to his residence afterprehending the eightieth Stone Sword, Ate and Ali came to him with grievances, saying that when they wanted to merge and open up their two residences, they faced obstruction from the city¡¯s building authority.


    ¡°Obstructing?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised. ¡°Is there anything wrong with the paperwork?¡±


    ¡°Our paperwork ispletely legal,¡± said Ate. ¡°But they just keep saying that breaking through the houses will cause disturbances and street litter, and basically, they use all kinds of excuses to prevent us from proceeding with the construction.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened.


    It was clear that these people were just looking for various reasons to demand money.


    ¡°Next time theye, give them a hundred gold,¡± Yang Xiaotian instructed. Ate and Ali agreed.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian gathered all the ves and checked on their cultivation progress.


    With the support of his excellent Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, all the ves had broken through to the Innate level.


    Therefore, excluding Ate, Ali, and others, he already had ny Innate Realm followers.


    Although ny Innate Realm fighters might not be a lot, they still represent a considerable force.


    One must know that ck Wind Stronghold in Xingyue City only had fourteen Innate Realm fighters.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian grouped these ves into teams of ten and selected nine individuals to be team leaders, all of whom would be under the supervision of Ate and Ali.


    With this arrangement, it would be easier for Ate and Ali to manage the ves, and furthermore, both could devote more time to cultivate in the future.


    At the same time, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others to spare time to provide more guidance on cultivation to Ate and Ali whenever possible.


    Although Ate and Ali carry the bloodline of the Golden Divine n, their foundation was far too weak.


    That night,


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, swallowed the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and began to practice the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Perhaps due to the effects of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the ck Tortoise Martial Soul and ck Snake Martial Spirit had undergone rapid transformations recently. The ck Tortoise Martial Soul not only grewrger but its shell also developed more intricate and mysterious patterns.


    The ck Snake Martial Spirit, too, had grown significantlyrger, with two horns sprouting from its forehead and four limbs emerging from its abdomen. Observing the changes in the ck Snake Martial Spirit, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of excitement.


    From now on, the ck Snake Martial Spirit should no longer be called that but rather the ck Dragon Martial Spirit.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian discovered that his ck Dragon Martial Spirit had mysterious patterns on its ck dragon scales, which were not the same as those of ordinary ck dragons.


    This made Yang Xiaotian even more convinced that his ck Dragon Martial Spirit was not an ordinary one.


    ¡°But what species of ck dragon is it?¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered.


    When he had time in the future, he would need to take the time to visit the Book Pavilion again to check the records and see how many types of ck dragons there were in the world.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian went to Hundred Swords za to beginprehending the eighty-first Stone Sword.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan looked on as Yang Xiaotian approached, feeling tense yet excited and thrilled.


    In these past days, like the teachers and students of the academy, they made it a point toe every day.


    Afterprehending four Stone Swords, Yang Xiaotian saw that it was dusk and left Hundred Swords za. However, upon returning home, Ate and Ali came toin again, saying that after giving the money, the people from the urban development office were still obstructing them, demanding one hundred gold per person for all seven of them.


    ¡°One hundred gold per person?¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face darkened.


    Normally, these people¡¯s monthly sry was only a few gold.


    To think that one hundred gold was considered too little.


    They were asking for seven hundred gold just like that.


    They really had the gall.


    Seven hundred gold could buy a smaller house in some small cities.


    ¡°Give it to them!¡± Yang Xiaotian suppressed his anger and said to Ate and Ali.


    Recently he needed toprehend Stone Swords and perform alchemy, so he truly had no time to deal with these things.


    Moreover, seven hundred gold was not really a lot for him at the moment.


    That night, Yang Xiaotian started alchemy and resumed the cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The following day, he continued toprehend the eighty-fifth Stone Sword.


    However, when he finishedprehending four Stone Swords and returned, Ate and Ali told him that the urban development office had taken the money but still refused to let them start construction.


    They said there were twenty-one people in the urban development office in total.


    Each had to receive one hundred gold to agree.


    Furthermore, their boss needed to be paid one thousand gold.


    ¡°One hundred gold each? A thousand gold for their boss?¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian instantly flew into a rage.


    With twenty-one people, that would be two thousand one hundred gold, and adding the one thousand for the head of the urban development office, that would be three thousand one hundred gold!


    Did these urban development officials really think he was to be trifled with?


    ¡°What is the name of the head of the urban development office?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked coldly.


    ¡°His name is Lin Chang,¡± Ate hurriedly said. ¡°However, he is the younger brother of Lin Yang, the Steward of City Lord¡¯s Mansion in Divine Sword City.¡±


    ¡°Lin Yang, the Steward of Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion¡¯s younger brother?¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly, ¡°Is he his real younger brother?¡±


    ¡°Yes, his real younger brother!¡±

 Chapter 75: So It Really Is Young Master Yang

    Chapter 75: So It Really Is Young Master Yang


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Money, there¡¯s no need to give it to them anymore!¡± Yang Xiaotian said with cold eyes, ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯m going with you to the City Construction Bureau.¡± Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s anger, Ate and Ali dared not say more, respectfully agreed, and retreated.


    After Ate and Ali had left, Yang Xiaotian calmed his mind and began to refine the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    In recent days, the materials for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill were almost used up.


    Tomorrow, he would have to send Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong along with their other threepanions to buy more.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian sessfully refined the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    He didn¡¯t store it away but swallowed it directly instead.


    Instantly, the potency of the spirit pill transformed into massive waves of energy, rushing towards his meridians.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly circted his Primordial Dragon Art to assimte the power of the spirit pill.


    As the power of the elixir continually transformed into Innate True Qi, the cyclone of Innate True Qi within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s dantian visibly expanded at a rapid pace.


    Yang Xiaotian had originally been at the mid-stage of Innate Level Six and quickly broke through to thete-stage.


    And even after reaching thete-stage of Level Six, his strength continued to rise.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian hadpletely assimted the power of the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill, daylight had fully arrived.


    And he had broken through to Innate Level Seven!


    The effect of the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill was even better than Yang Xiaotian had anticipated.


    ¡°I wonder what the effect of the heavenly-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill is,¡± Yang Xiaotian mused.


    Supreme-grade elixirs are not the highest grade of pills.


    Above the supreme grade, there is the heavenly grade!


    However, heavenly-grade elixirs are almost extinct.


    Although supreme-grade elixirs are rare, some major powers still have them in their possession; for instance, the royal family of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom stores the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    But heavenly-grade, they are almost never seen.


    In the countless ages of the Martial Soul World, the appearance of heavenly-grade elixirs has been exceedingly rare.


    Even with one of the top ten Abnormal Fires from the Abnormal Fire List, one would still need extremely skillful alchemy techniques and a highly powerful soul perception to have a glimmer of hope in refining a heavenly-grade elixir.


    In the countless ages of the Martial Soul World, there have been very few pharmacists with top ten Abnormal Fires, so few that they could be counted on one¡¯s fingers.


    This is also what has made heavenly-grade elixirs almost an unseen rarity.


    However, now that Yang Xiaotian possessed Divine me, the hope of refining a heavenly-grade spirit pill was quite significant.


    It¡¯s just that his alchemy technique and soul perception still needed improvement.


    ¡°Maybe, in three years,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought.


    With his current rate of improvement, he was confident that he would be able to refine a heavenly-grade elixir in three years.


    Stepping out of the courtyard, he found Ate and Ali already waiting outside respectfully.


    Without further ado, Yang Xiaotian led the two straight to the City Construction Bureau.


    The City Construction Bureau in Divine Sword City was built with grandeur, constructed from the finest granite.


    When the three of them arrived, the bureau was already bustling with peopleing and going.


    As an important department for the city, many came to the City Construction Bureau to conduct their business.


    Sunlight streamed through the windows into the grand hall, bathing it in a mottled glow and eliciting in Yang Xiaotian a sense of d¨¦j? vu.


    At that moment, a young man from the City Construction Bureau who had frequentlye to stop the construction saw Ate and Ali, ¡°It¡¯s you two?¡±


    Ate stepped forward with a cupped-fist smile and said, ¡°This young brother, this is our Young Master. Our Young Master wishes to see your bureau chief.¡±


    ¡°Young Master?¡± The young man turned to look at Yang Xiaotian with great surprise.


    Clearly, he had not expected Ate and Ali to bring an eight-year-old child with them.


    Later, he asked Yang Xiaotian and hispanions to wait on the side while he went in to give notice.


    In the office of the bureau chief, Lin Chang was leisurely sipping Spiritual Tea with his legs propped up leisurely.


    The Spiritual Tea was a gift from a certain family in the city, and it tasted quite good.


    After drinking it, one¡¯s entire body feltfortable and invigorated.


    The young man entered Lin Chang¡¯s office and reported the arrival of Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    ¡°Oh, they brought an eight-year-old child to see me?¡± Lin Chang¡¯s face darkened, and he mmed his fist on the table, ¡°Damn it, bringing an eight-year-old brat to see me, what do they think I am, idle? Tell them I¡¯m not here!¡±


    ¡°Also, tell them to deliver the 3,100 gold quickly, otherwise, they can forget about starting any construction work!¡±


    The young man dared not say more, went out, and then told Yang Xiaotian and the others, ¡°Our bureau chief is not in. You should leave. And it would be best to deliver the 3,100 gold quickly; our bureau chief has a bad temper. If you anger him, it won¡¯t be just 3,100 gold anymore.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying, if the payment iste, the price goes up?¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke in a heavy tone.


    The young man, not wanting to waste words with Yang Xiaotian, said to Ate, ¡°You can leave now, hurry up, don¡¯t block the way.¡± Having said that, he turned and left.


    Don¡¯t block the way?


    It appeared they were even considered an obstruction.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    At that moment, inside the office, Lin Chang, having propped up his legs, suddenly had someone rush in announcing that Lin Yang had arrived.


    ¡°What, my big brother ising!¡± Startled, Lin Chang straightened up quickly and said, ¡°Quick,e with me to greet him.¡±


    Lin Chang hurried to the grand hall, where he saw Lin Yang, who was striding majestically through the main entrance, followed by two guards from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, looking very imposing.


    ¡°Big brother, what wind has blown you here,¡± Lin Chang approached with a beaming smile.


    Lin Yang said leisurely, ¡°The morning air is fresh, I just took a walk, and passing by here, I decided toe in and look around.¡±


    Lin Chang rxed and smiled, ¡°Big brother, I found something nice yesterday, it¡¯s something you would like.¡±


    He knew his big brother loved various kinds of fine jade.


    Lin Yang¡¯s eyes lit up, and as he was about to move forward, he suddenly noticed a small figure in the hall.


    Seeing the small figure, Lin Yang was startled and then delighted; he left Lin Chang and the others behind and briskly approached the figure.


    Lin Chang was astonished to see his big brother suddenly leave them and walk enthusiastically towards the crowd.


    ¡°Young Master Yang, is that you?¡± Lin Yang addressed the small figure from behind.


    He had seen Yang Xiaotian a few days ago at Peng Zhigang¡¯s birthday feast.


    Since Yang Xiaotian was facing away, he couldn¡¯t fully see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, so he wasn¡¯t certain it was him.


    Yang Xiaotian turned around.


    Seeing clearly that it was Yang Xiaotian, Lin Yang¡¯s face lit up with joy, ¡°It really is Young Master Yang. I am Lin Yang from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, and I have had the pleasure of meeting Young Master Yang!¡± With that, he bowed deeply.


    Lin Chang, seeing his big brother actually bow to a child, couldn¡¯t help but be shocked.


    As for the young man who earlier had told Yang Xiaotian to hurry up and not block the way, his mouth hung open,pletely dumbfounded..

    Chapter 76: Xiaotian Finally Comprehends the Hundred Swords


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Lin Yang, who was bowing and smiling in front of him,


    ¡°Lin Yang, right?¡±


    Lin Yang, surprised and ttered when Yang Xiaotian called him by his name, hurriedly replied, ¡°Yes, it is Lin Yang. A few days ago at the City Lord¡¯s birthday banquet, I had the honor to see Young Master Yang and was amazed by his extraordinary demeanor.¡±


    ¡°Never did I expect to have the honor of meeting the Young Master again today.¡±


    He then tentatively asked, ¡°Is the Young Master here to take care of some business at the urban construction bureau today?¡±


    ¡°Yes, some business,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied, turning to Lin Chang, ¡°This is your brother Lin Chang?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yang quickly said, ¡°Yes, indeed, this is my younger brother.¡± Then he turned to Lin Chang and instructed, ¡°Lin Chang,e and pay your respects to Young Master Yang.¡±


    He added, ¡°Young Master Yang is an Elder of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Hall.¡±


    Sword Hall Elder!


    Upon hearing this, Lin Chang shivered with fear.


    He immediately knew who the child in front of him was.


    Yang Xiaotian, the Sword Hall Elder of Divine Sword Academy!


    Divine Yang, whoprehended ten sword techniques in a single day!


    Now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s name was soaring in Divine Sword City, his fame and authority eclipsing almost everyone else.


    ¡°Lin Chang pays his respects to Divine Yang Young Master,¡± Lin Chang approached swiftly, greeting him with the utmost respect.


    He hadn¡¯t seen Yang Xiaotian in the office earlier, so he didn¡¯t know that the eight-year-old child he had refused to meet was Yang Xiaotian.


    As for the young man from the urban construction bureau, upon hearing that the child in front of him was Yang Xiaotian, his legs went weak and he could hardly stand.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Lin Chang in front of him and said, ¡°Being the head of the bureau, Lin Chang holds a respected position. How could I dare to make you show me respect?¡±


    Both Lin Chang and Lin Yang sensed something amiss in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tone and their faces changed.


    Yang Xiaotian asked Lin Chang, ¡°I want to ask, the house I bought a few days ago ispletely legal, and I wanted to tear down an interior wall. Why has your staff been obstructing it at every turn?¡±


    With that, he had Ate show Lin Chang the legal documents.


    Lin Chang took the documents, stammering, ¡°Divine Yang Young Master, I, I¡­¡±


    Before Lin Yang could speak, Yang Xiaotian added, ¡®You want money, I give it to you, a hundred gold wasn¡¯t enough, the second time I gave seven hundred gold. After handing over seven hundred gold, you wanted to increase it to three thousand one hundred gold.¡±


    ¡°I came to see Bureau Chief Lin Chang just now, and your subordinate said you were not in, telling me to bring the money over as soon as possible or else the price would go up again.¡±


    ¡°I would like to ask Bureau Chief Lin Chang, what exactly do you mean by ¡®as soon as possible¡¯?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian spoke calmly, his face serene.


    But Lin Chang¡¯s heart was pounding, his face turning pale.


    It was then that he truly realized who Yang Xiaotian was.


    And he finally understood why Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tone was off.


    Lin Yang¡¯s face looked just as terrible.


    His brother, blinded by greed, dared to scheme against Yang Xiaotian.


    And a hundred gold was not enough!


    Seven hundred gold was still too little.


    He even demanded three thousand one hundred gold!


    Shaking with anger, Lin Yang suddenly pped him, sending Lin Chang staggering as he roared, ¡°You blind, foolish thing!¡±


    Lin Chang was sent reeling from the p.


    The young man from the urban construction bureau, terrified by Lin Yang¡¯s p, fell to the ground.


    With a tearful face, Lin Chang pleaded, ¡°Big brother, I didn¡¯t know it was Divine


    Yang Young Master, I really didn¡¯t know.¡±


    On his honor, he had no idea, for had he known, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to provoke Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian was the very deity who dared to kick Princess Cheng Beibei, not just once, but twice.


    Each time heavier than thest.


    He, a mere director of the city construction bureau, counted for nothing.


    He was on the verge of tears with nowhere to cry.


    He had made inquiries, and was told that the purchaser of the mansion was a foreigner who had just moved to Divine Sword City.


    Who would have thought it was Yang Xiaotian, this scourge.


    After pping his brother Lin Chang, Lin Yong immediately sped his fists in apology to Yang Xiaotian, his face full of regret, while he said in a fearful tone, ¡°Young Master Yang, my brother was blind to your greatness, rest assured, I will make sure he is properly punished to give you a satisfactory exnation.¡±


    To put it nicely, he was the major steward of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, to put it harshly, he was nothing but ackey under Peng Zhigang.


    If City Lord Peng Zhigang were to learn of this matter, knowing that his brother dared to exploit Yang Xiaotian, he would surely skin both him and his brother alive.


    ¡°You do not need to exin anything to me,¡± said Yang Xiaotian, shaking his head. He did not stay any longer and left with Ate and Ali in tow.


    Lin Yong and Lin Chang saw Yang Xiaotian all the way out of the city construction bureau.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, Lin Yong suddenly held his head and wept, ¡°It¡¯s over, my years of hard work, all over!¡±


    Seeing Lin Yong¡¯s state, Lin Chang trembled and said, ¡°Big brother, it can¡¯t be that serious, can it?¡±


    Lin Yongughed out of anger, ¡°Not that serious? The City Lord will definitely find out about this affair. He values Yang Xiaotian extremely highly, convinced that Yang Xiaotian will be the number one expert of Divine Sea Country in ten years. If he learns that you dared to exploit Yang Xiaotian, what do you think he will do to you?¡±


    ¡°To dismiss you would be a mercy.¡±


    ¡°If he thinks I condoned your actions, he might skin meyer byyer as well.¡± Lin Chang was scared stiff on the spot.


    After Yang Xiaotian returned, he sent Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, along with three others, to purchase ingredients for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill and also to buy a hundred and ten ves at the peak of the Acquired 10th Stage.


    Additionally, he instructed Ate and another to expedite the modifications of the three mansions.


    After that, Yang Xiaotian went to Hundred Swords za toprehend the Stone Sword.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at Hundred Swords za, a crowd of students immediately shouted, ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    The mor rose and fell again.


    These few days, every time Yang Xiaotian came here, the students would inevitably shout ¡°Divine Yang¡±; it had be a habit.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile to everyone and then went in front of the eighty-ninth Stone Sword to begin hisprehension.


    The next two days continued in this way.


    Soon, the third day arrived.


    As night fell and Yang Xiaotianpleted hisprehension of the hundredth Stone Sword, suddenly, Sword Qi erupted from all Hundred Swords simultaneously, shooting up into the sky from all the other swords in the za.


    The light of the Sword Qi lit up the entire Divine Sword City.


    This spectacle of all Hundred Swords unleashing Qi simultaneously shook all the teachers and students of Divine Sword Academy.


    They had seen the Sword Qi of Stone Swords before, but this was the first time everyone had witnessed such a peculiar sight of all hundred erupting at once.


    Nobody had thought that afterprehending all one hundred Stone Swords, they would all emit Sword Qi together.


    Because there was simply no record of such an event.


    Yang Xiaotian stood before the hundredth Stone Sword,pletely immersed in the world of swords, feeling the pervasive Sword Qi of all hundred swords. At this moment, he suddenly came to an enlightenment.


    The one hundred Stone Swords, each set of swordsmanship was not solitary, but interconnected with one another.


    The one hundred sets of swordsmanship could, in due time, be arranged into the Hundred Swords Sword Formation.


    The Hundred Swords Sword Formation was one of the strongest formations of Divine Sword Academy and also part of the Sword Hall inheritance.


    Watching the outburst of Sword Qi from all 1¨Clundred Swords, and seeing Yang Xiaotian standing at the center of the Sword Qi, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were thrilled beyond words.


    ¡°He has finallyprehended all Hundred Swords, Xiaotian has finally done


    Especially Chen Yuan, who was both excited and relieved, grateful that he had kept Yang Xiaotian at Divine Sword Academy.


    At this moment, five figures tore through the sky and arrived, they were none other than Sword Hall Elder, Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and two other Elders.


    The five had not left the Sword Hall for many years, but now, they all came to Hundred Swords za..

 Chapter 77: The New Hall Master of Sword Hall

    Chapter 77: The New Hall Master of Sword Hall


    Trantor: 549690339


    Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and two others arrived at Hundred Swords za, observing the simultaneous release of the sword qi from the Hundred


    Swords, equally shocked and excited.


    Several hundred years had passed.


    After hundreds of years, someone had finallyprehended the Hundred Swords!


    Their long wait had not been in vain.


    ¡°Hundreds of years have passed, and atst our Sword Hall has a new Hall Master!¡± He Le suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s been hundreds of years,¡± Chen Changqing remarked with emotion.


    Meanwhile, inside the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, Peng Zhigang and the masters of the mansion also looked up at the sword qi from the Hundred Swords over the Divine Sword Academy, equally astonished.


    The sword qi from the Hundred Swords persisted for a long time before it gradually dissipated.


    Once the sword qi from the Hundred Swords had vanished, Chen Changqing took a deep breath and said to He Le and the others, ¡°Let us go and pay our respects to the Hall Master.¡±


    Pay respects to the Hall Master!


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian was the Hall Master of the Sword Hall at the Divine Sword Academy.


    Under the leadership of Chen Changqing, the five of them went before Yang


    Xiaotian. Then they all bowed deeply, ¡°Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, MO Gao, Zhou Zhe, havee to see the Hall Master!¡±


    All five spoke in unison.


    Their voices were not loud, but they caused a great stir among the teachers and students of the Divine Sword Academy.


    Only then did the teachers and students of the Divine Sword Academy realize that Yang Xiaotian was no longer the freshman they recognized from the first year.


    He was their Hall Master of the Sword Hall at the Divine Sword Academy!


    ¡°We havee to see the Hall Master.¡± Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also came to their senses and came over to pay their respects.


    ¡°We havee to see the Hall Master!¡±


    All the teachers and students of the academy bowed deeply.


    Yang Xiaotian surveyed the crowd, nodded his head, and then said to Chen


    Changqing and the others, ¡°Elder Chen, let¡¯s go to Sword Hall.¡±


    Using the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire for alchemy was truly draining on his true qi, leaving him extremely fatigued each time.


    If he could subdue the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, he wouldn¡¯t have to tire himself out like that when using it for alchemy.


    Furthermore, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me could also be used to refine top-quality elixirs.


    Chen Changqing and the others knew that Yang Xiaotian was fixating on the Nine Phoenixes Golden me. They exchanged nces, somewhat hesitant, but ultimately they nodded their heads.


    So, the five of them once again led Yang Xiaotian back to the Sword Hall.


    Upon entering the Sword Hall, they saw that the interior resembled a long pce, with everything one could need.


    There were not only training rooms but also a martial practice field, a Pill Refining Chamber, and a Sword Pavilion.


    Inside the Sword Pavilion were various items rted to swords.


    There were swordsmanship manuals, swords, and a Sword Wall.


    Passing through the Sword Pavilion led to the deepest part of the Sword Hall.


    Before this innermost part of the Sword Hall was a za.


    In the air above the za floated nine golden streamers of phoenixes enwrapped in mes.


    This was the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, ranked ninth on the Abnormal Fire List.


    Yang Xiaotian followed Chen Changqing and the others to the front of the za and looked up at the Nine Phoenixes Golden me floating above the za, his eyes lighting up.


    The Nine Phoenixes Golden me, with such a design, was quite impressive.


    ¡°Hall Master, this Nine Phoenixes Golden me is extraordinarily fierce and powerful. Even Martial Emperor experts find it difficult to approach. Maybe you should consider subduing itter?¡± Chen Changqing still couldn¡¯t help but say.


    He was worried for Yang Xiaotian.


    It had not been easy for their Sword Hall to gain a new Hall Master, and if something were to happen to him because of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, they would never forgive themselves.


    ¡°No need,¡± Yang Xiaotian knew what Chen Changqing and the others were worried about, smiled, and said, ¡°Rest assured, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me can¡¯t harm me.¡± Then he added, ¡°You all go out first.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Chen Changqing and the other four hesitated.


    They were still worried.


    ¡°You all go out first. If the situation turns bad, I¡¯ll leave,¡± Yang Xiaotian told the five of them.


    Only then did the five agree and turn to leave.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the Nine Phoenixes Golden me in the sky above the za, took a step, and walked into the square.


    When the Nine Phoenixes Golden me felt Yang Xiaotian entering the square, it suddenly let out a phoenix cry. With a spread of its nine golden wings, it swooped toward Yang Xiaotian.


    As the Nine Phoenixes Golden me swooped in, phoenix mes rolled in like a raging sea of fire, sweeping across the entire za.


    The astounding heat wave looked set to engulf Yang Xiaotian when suddenly, a light flew out, enveloping his entire body. The mes from the Nine Phoenixes Golden me that bombarded him were all blocked by the light.


    The light was emitted by the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian said to the Medicine Cauldron with a smile, ¡°At critical moments, it¡¯s still Master Ding who¡¯s powerful.¡±


    The Medicine Cauldron responded, ¡°This old man has a tough life. Since the beginning of the heavens, I¡¯ve always been working for others.¡±


    Since the beginning of the heavens?


    Yang Xiaotian choked up.


    ¡°Activate the Primordial Dragon Art and entrap the Nine Phoenixes Golden me,¡± the Medicine Cauldron instructed.


    Yang Xiaotian came back to his senses, stretched out his hands, and fourteen strands of True Dragon Qi flew out, entwining the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Bound by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Dragon Qi, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me struggled frantically.


    However, Yang Xiaotian had previously trapped the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, and it could not escape, let alone the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    More than an hourter, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me finally settled down.


    Yang Xiaotian began to use the Controlling Fire Technique, casting one Fire Rune after another, merging them into the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Another hour passed, and Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and the other two waited outside, growing increasingly worried as Yang Xiaotian did note out for a long time.


    ¡°There¡¯s been no movement for so long. Should we go in and check?¡± He Le said with concern.


    ¡°But the Hall Master told us to wait outside,¡± Ren Feixue hesitated.


    ¡°What time is it now? If anything happens to the Hall Master, how are we going to exin to our ancestors!¡± He Le eximed anxiously.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go in and have a look,¡± Chen Changqing said after a moment¡¯s thought.


    Just as Chen Changqing and the others were about to go in, they saw Yang Xiaotianing out from inside.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian safe and sound, the five of them rxed.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that the Hall Master is fine. We were about to go in, ¡± Chen Changqing said with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be discouraged, Hall Master. With your talent, you should be able to subdue the Nine Phoenixes Golden me in ten years.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. The Hall Master will definitely be able to subdue the Nine Phoenixes Golden me in the future,¡± He Le also said.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and then said, ¡°I¡¯m going to enter the Inner Hall to take a look. You all go about your business; no need to wait for me.¡±


    The Sword Hall was divided into the outer hall and the inner hall, with only Yang Xiaotian allowed into the inner hall where the Sword Hall¡¯s inheritance was located.


    Chen Changqing and the others agreed.


    Yang Xiaotian turned and walked toward the Inner Hall.


    After Yang Xiaotian had left, Chen Changqing and the others casually strolled over to the za where the Nine Phoenixes Golden me was trapped, but upon arrival, the five of them stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the empty square.


    ¡°Where did the Nine Phoenixes Golden me go?¡± He Le hadn¡¯t quite grasped the situation and asked aloud.


    As he spoke, however, he saw that Chen Changqing and the others were unusually silent.


    Realizing something, He Le stuttered, ¡°Could it be that the Hall Master¡­?!¡±


    ¡°The Hall Master has seeded!¡± Chen Changqing finally uttered after a long pause.


    The Nine Phoenixes Golden me, ninth on the Abnormal Fire List, impossible for even those who surpassed the Martial Emperor to subdue, was sessfully subdued by their Hall Master!

 Chapter 78 - 78 Death Sword Tomb

    Chapter 78: Death Sword Tomb


    Trantor: 549690339


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the entrance of the Inner Hall.


    The doors of the Inner Hall were tightly closed, with countless Sword Dao patterns etched above them.


    Yang Xiaotian took a look and then, with a wave of his hands, unleashed the Sword Qi of the hundredth Stone Sword.


    Instantly, the patterns of Sword Dao lit up, and the doors of the Inner Hall slowly opened.


    As the doors opened, a vast hall appeared before Yang Xiaotian.


    The hall was several thousand square meters, with a floor made from polished Mysterious Iron Stone. Arge bookshelf stood to the left wall, and the right was adorned with a variety of swords.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to browse through the books on the shelf, finding Swordsmanship Manuals, Cultivation Techniques, and manuals for punches and palm strikes, but predominantly sword techniques.


    All these martial arts, at the minimum, were Innate Top Martial Techniques.


    Many were Divine Skills.


    However, only warriors in the Martial King Realm could cultivate these Divine Skills.


    These sword techniques and Divine Skills were the closely guarded secrets of the Divine Sword Academy.


    Casually ncing through these sword techniques and martial arts, Yang Xiaotian approached a stone table in the upper left corner of the hall, where several books were ced. He flipped through them and discovered they were personal notes penned by Cao Shun, the founding ancestor of the Divine Sword Academy¡ªbut the content deeply surprised and startled him.


    Because the notes by Cao Shun were all rted to the ten major Divine Swords.


    He even mentioned the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword and talked about the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    Besides the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, there were records of the other nine major Divine Swords.


    For instance, details about the unique features and powers of the ten major Divine Swords¡¯ techniques.


    The Eternal Night Sword was described in the greatest detail.


    Since it was rted to the ten major Divine Swords, Yang Xiaotian read very carefully, not missing a single page.


    After finishing his reading, he closed the book, feeling a surge of emotions.


    He hadn¡¯t expected Cao Shun to have conducted such extensive research on the ten major Divine Swords.


    ording to him, there was a high possibility that one of the ten, the Eternal Night Sword, was located in the Death Sword Tomb.


    ¡°Death Sword Tomb,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.


    The Death Sword Tomb was within the territory of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    However, ording to Cao Shun, the Death Sword Tomb was a burial ground for swords, entombing countless masters of the sword and their renowned des.


    But the Death Sword Tomb was extremely dangerous, and no one who entered was able to leave alive.


    In any case, those who entered disappeared.


    Over the ages, many people had entered the Death Sword Tomb, hoping to be lucky and find swords or peerless Sword Manuals, but without exception, none returned.


    ¡°Master Ding, do you think we stand a chance at the Death Sword Tomb?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked aloud.


    ¡°What Death Sword Tomb? Never heard of it,¡± said Medicine Cauldron, ¡°But no danger should be greater than the Abyss of Sin. We should take the chance to explore if we can.¡±


    Although Yang Xiaotian did not know what the Abyss of Sin was, Medicine Cauldron¡¯s words gave him some confidence.


    The Death Sword Tomb was a ce he could consider challenging in the future.


    Leaving the Inner Hall, Yang Xiaotian encountered Chen Changqing and He Le among five others.


    Their emotions wereplex upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again.


    Abnormal Fires were rare, and conquering one was an extraordinary feat for anyone.


    If one could tame an Abnormal Fire ranked within the top hundred, it would certainly be an earth-shattering event.


    Not to mention taming one ranked among the top ten of the Abnormal Fire List.


    Taming one of the top ten Abnormal Fires surely made one a big shot among big shots.


    ¡°Hall Master, perhaps you should consider living in the Sword Hall from now on?¡± Chen Changqing suggested to Yang Xiaotian.


    Now that Yang Xiaotian had be the Sword Hall Master, he had to consider Yang Xiaotian¡¯s safety.


    ¡°No need,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    Now that Luo Qing had broken through to the Martial Ancestor, the protective forces around him were not weak either.


    Of course, with his current strength, it wouldn¡¯t be easy for anyone to want to kill him.


    Hearing this, Chen Changqing didn¡¯t dare to insist and said, ¡°How about we follow the Hall Master from now on?¡±


    ¡°Maybeter,¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled.


    Although he did not know the true strength of Chen Changqing and the other four, as Sword Hall Elders, their strength was undoubtedly strong.


    In the future, when it came time to face the Tuoluo Sect, their assistance would be indispensable.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian asked Chen Changqing, ¡°Elder Chen, do you know of any news about other Abnormal Fires?¡±


    Abnormal Fires, Divine mes, he naturally wouldn¡¯t mind having more of them, the more the merrier.


    Chen Changqing, although he studied Abnormal Fires, might still know the whereabouts of other Abnormal Fires.


    Chen Changqing was taken aback and said, ¡°I do know, but Hall Master, Abnormal Fires mutually repel each other, and almost no one can control two kinds of Abnormal Fires at the same time.¡±


    Each kind of Abnormal Fire had different powers, and they repelled each other. If one tried to contain two kinds of Abnormal Fires within the body at the same time, it would be extremely dangerous.


    If the two Abnormal Fires went out of control, it could lead to bacsh from the fires¡ªat best destroying one¡¯s meridians and damaging the Dantian, at worst, death.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, smiled and said, ¡°No problem, if I can¡¯t control them, I won¡¯t force it.¡±


    Chen Changqing hesitated for a moment but eventually told Yang Xiaotian the locations of the other three kinds of Abnormal Fires.


    Upon learning the whereabouts of three more Abnormal Fires, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    Others might find it difficult to control two kinds of Abnormal Fires, but he had the Medicine Cauldron, the Primordial Dragon Art, and the Controlling Fire Technique; he was not worried about this issue.


    Yang Xiaotian left the Sword Hall, but when he arrived at the outer courtyard, he ran into Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again, Cheng Beibei was gnashing her teeth, her eyes shooting fire.


    The kick Yang Xiaotian had delivered during the birthday banquet had hurt her for several days.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Hu Xing and Yang Zhong had different reactions;


    Hu Xing was filled with jealousy and murderous intent, while Yang Zhong looked at Yang Xiaotian with a hint of fear.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the raging Cheng Beibei and said indifferently, ¡°I am now the Sword Hall Master. ording to the academy rules, you need to salute when you see me.¡±


    ¡°What did you say, you want me to salute you?!¡± Cheng Beibei instantly yelled like a cat whose tail was stepped on.


    Hu Xing, however, hesitated for a moment and then bowed to salute, saying, ¡°Greetings, Hall Master.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Hall Master,¡± said Yang Zhong, his voice trembling slightly.


    Cheng Beibei still red at Yang Xiaotian with fiery eyes.


    She was a princess of the country, and she did not believe that Yang Xiaotian would truly dare to do anything to her.


    ¡°That kick during the birthday banquet, has your injury healed?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Cheng Beibei and suddenly asked.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian mention the kick from the birthday banquet, recalling the scene of being kicked away by Yang Xiaotian at the banquet, Cheng Beibei was livid, and she drew her sword impulsively.


    Startled, Hu Xing quickly stopped Cheng Beibei.


    Cheng Beibei¡¯s previous two sword strikes had both been met with even harder kicks from Yang Xiaotian. If she were to be kicked flying again this time, no one knew how it would end up.


    ¡°Hu Xing,¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly spoke up, ¡°Deng Yi was sent by you before, right?¡±


    Hearing this, Hu Xing¡¯s eyes shed with panic and he said, ¡°Hall Master, I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t say much more and simply walked away. As he passed by Yang Zhong, he said, ¡°Take care of yourself.¡±


    Yang Zhong didn¡¯t dare look at Yang Xiaotian.


    After Yang Xiaotian had left, Cheng Beibei, staring in the direction Yang Xiaotian had gone, angrily dered, ¡°I will return to the Royal City in a few days and report to my father the king, demanding he execute this cur, Yang Xiaotian!¡±

    After Yang Xiaotian left, Hu Xing said to Yang Zhong, ¡°Yang Zhong, Yang Xiaotian kicked Her Highness Princess, which is a grievous act of rebellion. For such a rebellious scoundrel, you should have your grandfather kick him out of the n¡¯s genealogy!¡±


    ¡°Kick him out of the n¡¯s genealogy?¡± Yang Zhong stammered.


    ¡°Exactly, have your grandfather kick him out of the n¡¯s genealogy!¡± Cheng Beibei immediately said maliciously, ¡°And, kick his father out of the n¡¯s genealogy as well. In short, kick their entire family out for me.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Yang Zhong swallowed.


    ¡°What, you are unwilling?¡± Cheng Beibei¡¯s face darkened, and she spoke coldly.


    ¡°No, no, that¡¯s not what I meant,¡± Yang Zhong quickly shook his hand upon seeing Cheng Beibei¡¯s displeasure.


    ¡°Then have someone send a message to your grandfather now, saying it¡¯s on my behalf!¡± Cheng Beibei said hatefully.


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to the residence, it was alreadyte into the night.


    Standing in the courtyard, he summoned the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Instantly, the courtyard was bathed in brilliant light.


    The Nine Phoenixes Golden me coiled around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    From a distance, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body looked as though it was entwined with nine golden phoenixes.


    Yang Xiaotian leaped up,nding on one of the phoenixes, and using the Controlling Fire Technique, he controlled the Nine Phoenixes Golden me to soar into the sky.


    Suddenly, the nine phoenixes carried Yang Xiaotian as he flew around the courtyard.


    Originally, only Martial Emperor experts could fly in the sky, but now, Yang Xiaotian, with the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, was able to fly as well.


    After flying around the courtyard for a while, Yang Xiaotian then retracted the Nine Phoenixes Golden me into his body and began to cultivate.


    The next day, when Yang Xiaotian stopped practicing the Primordial Dragon Art and came out of the courtyard, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other five were already waiting respectfully.


    The group had been tasked by Yang Xiaotian a few days ago to purchase alchemy materials for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, and they had sessfully acquired them, bringing back one hundred ten Acquired Realm Tenth Order peak ves.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the pile of alchemy materials that was mountainous before him, nodded in satisfaction, ¡°You have done well.¡±


    The materials for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill were hard to find, and he hadn¡¯t expected that the five of them could have acquired so much.


    With so many materials, it was enough for him to refine for a month.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian gave each of Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other three one Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Liao Kun and the others, seeing the Supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill, were ecstatic and deeply thanked Yang Xiaotian with a bow.


    Yang Xiaotian also inspected the one hundred ten Acquired Realm Tenth Order peak ves that they had brought back this time, and found them to be good, the same as thest batch.


    Yang Xiaotian was bing more satisfied with thepetence of Liao Kun and the others.


    Next, he had the ves swallow elixirs that would control them, then taught them cultivation techniques and had Ate and Ali arrange housing for these ves.


    With the City Construction Office no longer obstructing them, after several days of reformation, the three residences were now thoroughly connected, and the left and right houses had been renovated.


    However, having added one hundred ten more people, Yang Xiaotian still felt that the residence was a bit too small, so he asked Ate and Ali to try and purchase some neighboring housester on.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian began refining the Supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Thinking of having to refine one hundred ten portions of the Supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for the newly purchased ves, he felt somewhat troubled.


    It seemed that he needed to train some pharmacist subordinates.


    Otherwise, if the servants needed elixirs in the future, he would have to personally refine them, which would be a huge waste of time.


    After two days of unremitting effort, one hundred and ten portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid were finally refined.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian begin practicing the Stone Sword Technique.


    Although he had fullyprehended all one hundred Stone Sword Techniques, his realm was not high; the techniques heprehendedter were all at the Minor Achievement Realm, so he aimed to bring all of the Hundred Swords Technique to the Perfection Realm.


    At the same time, he intended to integrate and master the Hundred Swords into a Sword Array, so that even when facing many Martial King level one and even level two experts, he would fear none.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.


    During this half month, Yang Xiaotian spent almost all of his days practicing the Hundred Swords Technique. He had brought the first thirty swords to the Perfection Realm and the remaining seventy had all entered the Great


    Aplishment Realm, though they were still some distance from perfection.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian had acquired ores and refined iron, and using the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, he had forged a hundred Supreme Spirit Weapon swords.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s control, the hundred Supreme Spirit Weapon swords transformed into a Sword Dragon, weaving and attacking around the yard.


    Sometimes they took the form of the Earth Sword, sometimes the Wild Thunder Sword, sometimes the Life-Giving Sword.


    At other times, they were the Fiery Sun Sword Technique and the Cold Moon Sword Technique.


    Yang Xiaotian controlled the Hundred Swords, demonstrating the Hundred Swords Technique.


    Within the yard, the brilliance of the swords shimmered.


    The Fiery Sun and the Cold Moon alternated.


    The roar of the Wild Thunder and the storm echoed.


    Initially, Yang Xiaotian controlled the Hundred Swords to perform one set of


    Swordsmanship after another, but after a day, he attempted to control the Hundred Swords to simultaneously perform two different Swordship Techniques.


    Fifty swords would demonstrate one technique, while the other fifty executed a different one.


    However, performing two Swordship Techniques at once required divided focus and was quite strenuous.


    Two dayster, having gotten the hang of it, Yang Xiaotian began to control the Hundred Swords to simultaneously demonstrate three kinds of Swordship Techniques.


    And so, after half a month, Yang Xiaotian could control the Hundred Swords to simultaneously demonstrate five kinds of Swordship Techniques.


    The five Swordship Techniques, manifesting the power of the five elements, had a formidable strength that could be described as terrifying.


    While practicing the Hundred Swords Technique, Yang Xiaotian started to teach Ate and Ali Alchemy.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, Ate and Ali both had strong soul power. Under his training, they quickly became sensitive to the Heaven and Earth Fire within a twenty-meter radius.


    Moreover, Ate and Ali showed a high aptitude for Alchemy. Within a mere month, they were already able to refine middle-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Although middle-grade was still far from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s requirements, it was nhelessmendable.


    However, after continuously buying ves, expanding the residence, and purchasing Artifact Refining and Alchemy Materials, the six hundred and fifty thousand coins he had earned from selling elixirsst time were almost spent. So, at night, Yang Xiaotian made a trip to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    More than a month had passed since Yang Xiaotianst sold the top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs. During this time, Wen Jingyi had waited anxiously, enduring an arduous and torturous wait. Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian arrive, she was nearly moved to tears with joy, ¡°Lord Long, you¡¯vee! ¡±


    Last time, Yang Xiaotian had asked them to prepare one million gold within half a month, but now it had been more than a month.


    Seeing Wen Jingyi¡¯s teary joy, Yang Xiaotian nodded and said, ¡°I was engrossed in practicing Swordship Techniques and lost track of time.¡± He then took out ten supreme-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs that he had prepared in advance.


    Wen Jingyi, looking at the jade bottles in front of her, trembled as she opened each one with her delicate hands.


    With every bottle she opened, her heart felt as if it were being shaken by an earthquake.


    By the time she opened all the bottles, her heart was no longer just shaking, but exploding in awe..

 Chapter 80: The King is Coming to Divine Sword City

    Chapter 80: The King is Coming to Divine Sword City


    Trantor: 549690339


    No wonder Wen Jingyi was so agitated.


    You must know that even some royal families of the surrounding countries might not have the supreme Dragon -Tiger Elixirs in their possession. And in front of her, every jade bottle contained supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs!


    A total of ten!


    Yang Xiaotian watched Wen Jingyi, who remained excited, shaking uncontrobly, yet his face was calm.


    In the past month, he had asionally concocted about thirty or forty supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    Originally, he had intended to sell all of these thirty-plus supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, but considering that the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild couldn¡¯t hand over such arge sum of money all at once, he decided to sell just ten for now.


    Ten would be enough for him to spend for a month, right?


    ¡°Is the money ready? What did your head office say?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Wen Jingyi came to her senses; she tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Lord Long, our head office said that if you sell the supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs directly to us, one would be priced at one hundred thousand Gold Coins, so ten would be one million Gold Coins. How about that?¡±


    Considering the impact of the supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs far outweighed the value of the elixirs themselves, this time the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild offered one hundred thousand Gold Coins for each.


    This price was quite good.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Immediately, Wen Jingyi excitedly handed over the one million Gold Coins that were already prepared to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at it and put it away.


    ¡°Sir, we are nning to auction these ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs in a month¡¯s time. Would it be possible to invite you toe?¡± Wen Jingyi excitedly asked.


    A monthter would be the Pharmacist Competition.


    At that time, countless pharmacists and powerful beings from Divine Sea Country would gather in Divine Sword City.


    Wind Cloud Commerce Guild chose to auction the supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs during the Pharmacist Competition for a better effect.


    ¡°No need,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    Truth be told, he wasn¡¯t interested in this auction.


    Just ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, not ten heavenly Dragon-Tiger Elixirs. When he concocted heavenly-grade elixirs three yearster, perhaps he woulde to see the auction situation himself.


    Wen Jingyi was quite disappointed upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian would not attend the auction.


    If Lord Long coulde to the auction, it would definitely be even more sensational.


    Now, countless alchemists and powerful beings from the surrounding countries all wanted to meet Lord Long in person.


    ¡°Lord Long.¡± Wen Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°The King of Divine Sea, Dean Lin of Divine Sword Academy, Grand Pharmacist Hall Master Li Wen of Divine Sea, as well as the kings of the surrounding countries, all wish to meet you, what do you say?¡±


    Who wouldn¡¯t want to get acquainted with an alchemist capable of concocting supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs?


    Yet Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°No.¡±


    These people wanted to see him merely to recruit him, to have him serve them.


    After saying this, Yang Xiaotian directly disappeared into the darkness.


    However, before leaving, Yang Xiaotian told her to prepare another million Gold Coins in a month.


    Wen Jingyi stood stunned for a long time: ¡°Prepare another million Gold Coins?¡±


    Could it be?


    She was astounded.


    Did Lord Long mean to say that in another month, there would be ten more supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs for sale to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild?


    In a month¡¯s time, they would be able to refine ten more supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs?


    Even the four great alchemists of Divine Sea Country, throughout their entire lives, could not refine a single supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixir; yet this Lord Long could produce ten in one month?


    Soon, the news that the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild would auction off ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs a monthter spread.


    In an instant, all the major powers were shaken.


    ¡°What, the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild is going to auction ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs in a month?¡± Lin Yong from the Divine Sword Academy stared at Chen Yuan in shock: ¡°Where did the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild get so many supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs?¡±


    Immediately after, his body shook as he thought of a possibility: ¡°Could it be?¡±


    Chen Yuan nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, they were sold to them by Lord Long again, and the appraisers from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild have verified that these ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were all refined this month.¡± Mentioning Lord Long, Chen Yuan¡¯s face showed a look of admiration, and even though he was not an alchemist, it did not prevent his fervent worship of Lord Long.


    Refining ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs in one month.


    What a terrifying feat of alchemy!


    Lin Yongmented, ¡°No wonder the kings of various countries all want to meet Lord Long. With Lord Long¡¯s assistance, what royal family wouldn¡¯t be stronger and stronger!¡±


    He thumped his chest and stamped his feet: ¡°Why can¡¯t such a person be employed by our Divine Sword Academy? Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t our Divine Sword Academy be the number one academy in the Tiandou Imperial


    Kingdom?¡±


    Meanwhile, Luo Junpeng and Deng Yichun from Yunhui Academy were also taken aback upon hearing the news that Lord Long had sold ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    ¡°The dean said he wants toe to Divine Sword City in person!¡± Luo Junpeng said.


    ¡®What, the dean ising to Divine Sword City in person!¡± Deng Yichun eximed.


    Unless there was an extremely important matter, their dean wouldn¡¯t leave the academy.


    ¡°In a month, the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild will auction off ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs. The dean wants to participate in the auction and also see if he can meet Lord Long,¡± Luo Junpeng said. ¡°Not only our dean wille, but the deans of the other two academies mighte too, and even His Majesty the King mighte to Divine Sword City!¡± And all of this was to seek an audience with Lord Long.


    Deng Yichun¡¯s mouth was agape.


    His Majesty leaving the Royal City was a big deal.


    Normally, His Majesty would not leave the Royal City.


    This time he was leaving the Royal City just for a chance to meet Lord Long.


    ¡°Divine Sword City is going to witness a gathering storm,¡± Luo Junpeng remarked with feeling.


    He could imagine the countless experts and pharmacists that would soon flock to Divine Sword City.


    ¡°However, this Lord Long rarely shows his face. Whenever he does appear, hees and goes without a trace. Meeting him is difficult!¡± Deng Yichun fretted.


    He had been in Divine Sword City for over a month and still couldn¡¯t locate Lord Long.


    The only information he had about Lord Long came from Wen Jingyi at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild; yet, those few bits and pieces were hardly useful.


    After Yang Xiaotian returned from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild with one million Gold Coins, he felt much more at ease. The next day, he summoned Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other three, instructing them to continue purchasing arge quantity of ves at the peak of the Acquired Tenth Stage.


    He already had three hundred ves, and all of them had broken through to the Innate level, but still, he felt it was not enough.


    At the same time, he instructed Ate and Ali to continue purchasing properties in the surrounding area.


    Ate and Ali, upon hearing that their young master wanted them to keep buying the surrounding properties, couldn¡¯t help but click their tongues in amazement. If they kept buying, their young master¡¯s residence might be even bigger than the Divine Sword City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    If it were bigger than the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, wouldn¡¯t City Lord Peng Zhigang feel ufortable?


    The two expressed their concerns to Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 81 - 81 Wushan Witch God

    Chapter 81: Wushan Witch God


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°You needn¡¯t worry about that,¡± Yang Xiaotian said. ¡°Just continue with the purchases.¡±


    He was now the Sword Hall Master, representing the entire Divine Sword Academy.


    How could Peng Zhigang fuss over such a trivial matter?


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the cultivation status of those three hundred ves from Ate and Ali.


    ¡°More than thirty people have broken through to the secondyer of the Innate realm,¡± Ate reported respectfully. ¡°And over forty people have already reached the peak of the firstyer of the Innate realm.¡±


    ¡°The rest are almost all in thete stage of the Innate first realm, with just a very few in the middle stage, ¡± Ate added.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    It was not in vain that he had spent so much on top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs for these people.


    After these ves broke through to the Innate realm, he had concocted two more top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs for each of them.


    It was precisely because of this that the ves had improved so quickly over the past two months.


    Later, Yang Xiaotian also asked Ate and Ali about their own cultivation progress and, learning that they had both broken through to the fourthyer of the Innate realm, he nodded in satisfaction.


    Although he had two Supreme Martial Spirits, the cyclones he formed were toorge, and each breakthrough required an extremely vast amount of nature¡¯s spiritual energy. Moreover, he had been focusing on solidifying his foundation and mainly cultivating swordsmanship, so the breakthroughs of Ate and Ali were not slower than his own.


    Yang Xiaotian then examined their alchemy level.


    Seeing that their alchemy skills continued to improve, he was veryforted.


    At this rate, it wouldn¡¯t be long before they could produce high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Once they could produce top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, they could take a lot off his shoulders.


    Otherwise, maintaining so many ves on his own would wear him out.


    Still, just relying on Ate and Ali to share the burden was insufficient, so he had them teach the ves to see who had a talent for alchemy.


    If they had a talent for alchemy, they could be cultivated more intensively.


    The two of them agreed.


    ¡°Young Master, the Fourth Princess returned to the Royal Cityst month,¡± Ate said hesitantly. ¡°It¡¯s said that she¡¯s asking the King to issue a decree to execute you. There¡¯s talk in the city that His Majesty the King wille to Divine Sword City in a few days.¡±


    When out buying ingredients for concocting the Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, they had heard many people discussing it.


    ¡°Hmm, I know,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He wasn¡¯t particrly concerned about this matter.


    After instructing them to practice alchemy more, he casually walked over to Luo Qing¡¯s courtyard. He then had Luo Qing pick out thirty ves to form the Shadow Squad, training them to help him gather information in the future. Having lived two lives, Yang Xiaotian knew the importance of information.


    Later, Yang Xiaotian went to see Xiao Jin.


    This little guy had been practicing the Heavenly Beast Art almost without ever leaving the house these days.


    And with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s exceptional Four Symbols Spirit Pills, Xiao Jin¡¯s transformation was even more astonishing.


    The little guy¡¯s entire body was glowing with a golden light from his scales, within which flickers of me seemed to flow.


    From a distance, it looked as if he was draped in ayer of golden me.


    Moreover, a horn had already started to grow on his forehead.


    Undoubtedly, it was a dragon horn.


    Both Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing were amazed at the little guy¡¯s changes.


    However, Luo Qing was also unable to determine Xiao Jin¡¯s origins.


    But judging by his assessment, Xiao Jin was likely a mutant beast.


    As for what kind of mutant beast, that remained unknown.


    Yang Xiaotian decided to return to the Academy Repository in the next few days to diligently search the records, hoping to discover Xiao Jin¡¯s origins.


    Xiao Jin, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, was very happy, and then he executed several sets of fist techniques taught to him by Yang Xiaotian, and had actually reached the Perfection Realm in all of them.


    However, it looked quite bizarre to see a fierce beast like Xiao Jin performing human fist techniques.


    Yang Xiaotian practiced the Hundred Swords Technique for a while and then returned to the Divine Sword Academy Repository to look for information about ancient mutant beasts.


    However, after searching all morning, he still could not find any information about Xiao Jin¡¯s origins.


    But since Xiao Jin had grown dragon horns, he must be rted to some ancient dragon n.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to the Inner Hall of the Sword Hall to look through the swordsmanship manuals and Divine Skills left by Cao Shun.


    Although he was not yet able to practice Divine Skills, there was no harm in looking through them.


    In addition to Cao Shun¡¯s swordsmanship manuals and Divine Skills, he also perused some of Cao Shun¡¯s personal notes, most of which were insights and realizations regarding swordsmanship.


    As the only Martial Emperor Expert of the Divine Sword Academy in several hundred years, Cao Shun¡¯s insights and realizations about swordsmanship broadened Yang Xiaotian¡¯s knowledge and vision considerably.


    Yang Xiaotian saw Chen Changqing and the others practicing swordsmanship and discussed with them many insights about the art of the sword.


    After leaving the Sword Hall and walking on the streets of Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian noticed many outside sects and family experts hade to the city, as well as experts from other countries.


    From the conversations of the people around him, Yang Xiaotian learned that many hade for the Pharmacist Competition and the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild auction.


    Of course, even more people hade for Lord Long.


    ¡°I must take Lord Long as my master!¡± a family disciple dered, raising his arm.


    ¡°Give it up, not even the four greatest alchemists of the Divine Sea Country are necessarily qualified to take Lord Long as their master, let alone you with that monkey appearance?¡±


    ¡°I heard that the King of Ancient Sword Kingdom will bring all his princesses with him.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a secret message iming that Lord Long is unmarried! The King of Ancient Sword Kingdom is bringing all his princesses to see if any of them catch Lord Long¡¯s eye.¡±


    ¡°The princesses of Ancient Sword Kingdom are all beautiful like flowers; if I were Lord Long, I would take them all!¡± someoneughed heartily.


    The Ancient Sword Kingdom is also one of the subordinate nations of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. Among the dozens of surrounding countries, the Ancient Sword Kingdom is much stronger than the Divine Sea Country.


    Yang Xiaotian listened to these people¡¯s discussions and was somewhat speechless.


    Who knows where they got their secret messages from.


    But even if he were unmarried, the King of Ancient Sword Kingdom need not bring all his princesses along.


    After returning home, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Hundred Swords Technique for a while, then began alchemy.


    While concocting elixirs, Yang Xiaotian remembered the three Abnormal Fires Chen Changqing mentionedter on.


    Among the three Abnormal Fires, one named Celestial me was located in Divine Sea Country.


    He nned to subdue the Celestial me as soon as Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong returned.


    Although the Celestial me was ranked lower than the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, it was still among the top hundred in the Abnormal Fire List, ranking seventy-third.


    Seven dayster, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, who went out to purchase, returned with seven hundred ves at the peak of the Acquired Tenth Order as expected by Yang Xiaotian.


    During these seven days, Yang Xiaotian had already refined seven hundred portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, so after buying seven hundred ves, he gave them Control Elixir, taught them cultivation techniques, and had them consume the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to cultivate.


    After finishing all this, Yang Xiaotian had Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong stay at home while he set out with Luo Qing to subdue the Celestial me.


    Seeing that Xiao Jin was diligently practicing the Heavenly Beast Art at home, he did not bring Xiao Jin this time.


    After leaving Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian and Luo Qing took mountain roads.


    Several dayster, they arrived at Wushan.


    The Celestial me was within Wushan.


    Wushan was a mystical mountain in Divine Sea Country, and legend had it that a Witch God Expert had once been buried there..

    When Yang Xiaotian and hispanion arrived at Wushan, although it was already approaching noon, the whole mountain range was still shrouded in dense fog with no sunlight in sight.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian entered Wushan, he felt the heavy yin energy of the ce.


    ¡°Young master, be careful, there are many poisonous creatures in Wushan,¡± Luo Qing warned Yang Xiaotian.


    The abundance of poisonous creatures in Wushan was well-known, and the mention of them would cause anyone¡¯s face to change color.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded. Having cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, his body had gradually transformed into that of a True Dragon¡¯s, making him fearless of these poisons.


    He took out a medicine pouch with detoxifying properties and had Luo Qing wear it on his body.


    Wushan was filled with weeds and venomous insects, with weeds that were even taller than a person.


    However, both Yang Xiaotian and hispanion had exceptional strength, moving through the dense forests and weeds as if walking on t ground.


    An hourter, the two reached a sheer cliff.


    ¡°Young master, Poison Soul Valley is up ahead,¡± Luo Qing said, pointing forward.


    Yang Xiaotian looked ahead where, through the heavy mist, he could faintly discern the entrance of a valley hundreds of meters away.


    The me of Stary within Poison Soul Valley.


    Braving the dense fog, the two made their way to the entrance of Poison Soul


    Valley.


    Suddenly, a giant python burst out from a dark ce, sweeping its enormous tail towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian, without so much as a nce, swung his arm, and instantly, a hundred Supreme Spirit Weapon swords flew out, sting the giant python away.


    By the time the mountain-sized python crashed to the ground, it had already breathed itsst, its body perforated by a hundred sword holes.


    Luo Qing was taken aback upon seeing Yang Xiaotian control a hundred swords to attack.


    In the art of swordsmanship, controlling multiple swords to attack simultaneously was very difficult¡ªthe more swords one controlled, the tougher it was to attack.


    He had never seen any sword Dao master control a hundred swords at once.


    Moreover, all hundred of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s swords were of the Supreme Spirit Weapon level.


    After sting the giant python away, the hundred swords returned to Yang Xiaotian, transforming into a hundred beams of sword light that merged back into his body.


    The two stepped into Poison Soul Valley.


    Inside Poison Soul Valley, the mist was noticeably different from the outside, showing variegated colors and clearly being poisonous.


    This was the deadly miasma.


    The poison of the miasma was fierce; merely touching it would cause skin ulceration. If inhaled, it would gradually rot the viscera.


    Yang Xiaotian was initially concerned, but when he found the deadly miasma essentially disintegrated upon entering his body thanks to the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, he rxed.


    Fire is the bane of every poisonous creature and spirit. The Nine Phoenixes Golden me, ranking in the top ten of the Abnormal Fire List, had no trouble incinerating such miasma.


    As for Luo Qing, his body surged with a green light. Yang Xiaotian could sense that the Life Force constantly emerged from the trees around, drawing together around Luo Qing¡¯s body.


    Under this energy, no miasma could get close to Luo Qing.


    This was the power of the Wooden Emperor Skill, especially formidable within the thick woods.


    If Luo Qing continued to diligently cultivate, he might one day be a god of life.


    As they delved deeper, the miasma grew denser and more intense.


    And there were even more poisonous creatures.


    Although these creatures could not harm them, the two had to slow down to deal with them.


    Seeing the overwhelming number of poisonous creatures and bing thoroughly annoyed, Yang Xiaotian decided to summon the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Wherever the Nine Phoenixes Golden me passed by, all poisonous creatures and miasma werepletely incinerated.


    ¡°The Nine Phoenixes Golden me?!¡± Luo Qing was astonished to see the Nine Phoenixes Golden me for the first time.


    Before, he had always wondered how Yang Xiaotian could manage to refine the superior Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Now, he finally understood.


    Actually, what Luo Qing didn¡¯t know was that many of the peerless Four Symbols Spirit Pills previously refined by Yang Xiaotian were not made using the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, but the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    With the Nine Phoenixes Golden me paving the way, the two of them quickened their pace considerably.


    As they were moving forward, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian saw a point of golden light on the cliff ahead.


    Seeing this golden light, Yang Xiaotian quickly made his way to the foot of the cliff.


    ¡°Golden Lotus Mushroom!¡± eximed Luo Qing, thrilled.


    The Golden Lotus Mushroom could not only neutralize all sorts of poisons but also increase True Qi and was one of the important ingredients in crafting Treasure Pills.


    Treasure Pills, even more superior to the Innate Spirit Pills.


    And examining the Golden Lotus Mushroom they found, its emission of golden light suggested its age was definitely considerable.


    Yang Xiaotian leaped up to the top of the cliff and plucked the Golden Lotus Mushroom.


    Important ingredients for crafting Treasure Pills were hard to find, stumbling upon the Golden Lotus Mushroom was an unexpected joy.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully stored the Golden Lotus Mushroom and continued forward with Luo Qing.


    As they were about to reach the deepest part of Poison Soul Valley, a stunning starlight suddenly appeared ahead.


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    This starlight was unmistakably the aura from the me of Star.


    The me of Star was right ahead!


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to hurry over, he heard a thunderous roar.


    Feeling the astonishing power, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes narrowed.


    Was someone taming the me of Star?


    ¡°Young Master, be careful!¡± said Luo Qing.


    Gauging by the strength of this power, the other party was undoubtedly stronger than him.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and quickened his pace toward the direction of the me of Star.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian caught sight of the me of Star.


    He saw the me of Star suspended in the air ahead, encircled by countless diamond-like stars, full of star aura, dreamy and fantastical, and extraordinarily beautiful.


    About a hundred meters away from the me of Star, stood six people, led by an elder. All six were dressed in strange garments, somewhat resembling the attire of an ancient tribe.


    In the elder¡¯s hand was arge wooden staff covered with runes.


    Currently, many parts of the six people¡¯s bodies were burned. They looked quite disheveled and were staring at the me of Star with faces filled with terror.


    Apparently, the six of them wanted to tame the me of Star together but the ferocity of its mes had exceeded their expectations.


    All six were greatly surprised to see a young child like Yang Xiaotian suddenly arrive.


    After his surprise, the elder kindly advised, ¡°Child, Poison Soul Valley is dangerous, you should leave quickly.¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I havee for the me of Star.¡±


    The six people were astonished.


    For the me of Star?


    The elderughed, ¡°You also want to tame the me of Star?¡±


    Even he could not tame the me of Star.


    This child also wanted to tame the me of Star?


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°Even my master cannot tame the me of Star, and you also wish to?¡± one middle-aged man chuckled, ¡°How old are you? Your Martial Soul hasn¡¯t awakened for long, has it?¡±


    His master was the elder.


    The elder was one of the formidable figures in the surrounding countries; if even his master could not tame it, how could a child?

 Chapter 83: Old Master Wu Qj

    Chapter 83: Old Master Wu Qj


    Trantor: 549690339


    The few onlookers had no ill intentions; they simply found it amusing that a child wished to tame the me of Star.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at them and suddenly said, ¡°What if I can tame the me of Star?¡±


    The group was taken aback.


    The elder looked at Yang Xiaotian, a smile appearing on his wrinkled face: ¡°Child, if you can tame the me of Star, what¡¯s stopping me from acknowledging you as my master!¡±


    His words were in jest, but Yang Xiaotian replied seriously, ¡°Good!¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s earnest demeanor, the elder chuckled, ¡°And what if you fail to tame the me of Star? What then?¡±


    ¡°If I cannot tame the me of Star, this top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir shall be yours,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he produced a top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    ¡°A top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir!¡± Not only the elder but also the other five were taken by surprise.


    All six were alchemy experts and naturally knew how rare a top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir was.


    Indeed, the royal family of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom had some in their treasured collection.


    And this child had one as well?


    ¡°Very well!¡± the elder regained hisposure, his eyes glowing as he studied Yang Xiaotian¡¯s youthful face.


    It wasn¡¯t that he coveted the top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Rather, the appearance of this child in Poison Soul Valley and his possession of the elixir was shrouded in mystery. The elder was curious to see what means the boy would use to tame the me of Star.


    ¡°If I tame the me of Star, I hope the elder will keep to his word,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian brimming with confidence, the elderughed heartily, ¡°Rest assured, I, Wu Qi, always mean what I say. I am no double-dealer.¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded and walked towards the me of Star.


    Wu Qi? Luo Qing nced at the elder, feeling the name Wu Qi somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.


    The others also looked on in surprise at Yang Xiaotian.


    They were equally curious to see where the child¡¯s confidence and nerve came from.


    As Yang Xiaotian approached the me of Star, it suddenly lunged at him.


    ¡°Be careful!¡± the elder and the others couldn¡¯t help but exim.


    As soon as they spoke, a beam of light suddenly emerged, enveloping Yang Xiaotian.


    When the me of Star mmed into Yang Xiaotian, it was blocked.


    It was the light emitted by the Medicine Cauldron Lord.


    Not even the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire or the Nine Phoenixes Golden


    me could pierce through Master Ding¡¯s aura, much less the me of Star.


    The elder and the others were astonished to see a light suddenly manifest on Yang Xiaotian and block the fiery fury of the me of Star.


    They were all too aware of the strength of the me of Star¡¯s fire.


    And it filled them with trepidation.


    The me of Star, which they could not fend off, was stopped by the light surrounding this child!


    Yang Xiaotian watched as the me of Star rushed towards him, as if he were treading a familiar path, and started to operate the Primordial Dragon Art, his hands drawing together.


    Suddenly, the sound of dragon chants echoed through the valley.


    To the onlookers¡¯ amazement, twenty True Qi Dragons flew out from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands and wrapped around the me of Star.


    The me of Star, entwined by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Qi Dragons, thrashed and roared wildly, but could not break free from their bind.


    ¡°An Innate Eightfold Master!¡± the elder said in shock. The youth before him was a master of Innate level eight!


    Could this child be an heir of the Empire Great Emperor from the Divine Dragon Empire?


    NO!


    Even a descendant of a Great Emperor couldn¡¯t possibly be an Innate Grandmaster so soon after awakening his Martial Soul.


    Let alone reach the eighth level of Innate realm.


    And what exactly is the True Qi of this child before us?


    They had never seen True Qi that could actually transform into dragons!


    Not to mention that this True Qi could suppress and trap the me of Star!


    Bear in mind, many Martial Emperors¡¯ True Qi couldn¡¯t trap the me of Star, yet this child¡¯s True Qi could.


    They were astonished as they watched Yang Xiaotian, disbelief filling their eyes.


    Once Yang Xiaotian trapped the me of Star, he continuously used his Innate True Qi Dragons to suppress it.


    In less than two hours, the wild mes of the me of Star became submissive.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian executed the Controlling Fire Technique, and with movements of his hands, he released Fire Runes, merging them with the me of Star.


    In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the me of Starpletely settled down.


    Yang Xiaotian extended his right palm, and the me of Star gradually shrank until it became the size of his palm, thennded on his hand.


    When the me of Star settled on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm, the Star Aura illuminated his body with starlight, and he appeared as the child of the stars.


    Eventually, the me of Star slowly seeped into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm and settled into his Dantian.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire shone with lightning, while the Nine Phoenixes Golden me and the me of Star orbited around it, radiating light.


    Wu Qi and the other five watched as Yang Xiaotian subdued the me of Star step by step, struggling to calm themselves for a long time.


    In just two hours, the me of Star, ranked among the top hundred on the Abnormal Fire List, was thus subdued by the child before them.


    Even after the me of Star was subdued by Yang Xiaotian, they felt as though they were still in a dream.


    After a long while, Wu Qi took a deep breath to settle the storm in his heart and bitterly smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it, young friend, you really subdued the me of Star.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, however, shook his head, ¡°That was actually slow.¡±


    He hadn¡¯t used his full power just now; otherwise, he could have been faster.


    Wu Qi and the others almost choked on the poisonous miasma in the valley when they heard Yang Xiaotian say that two hours was slow to subdue the me of Star.


    They had tried for years to no avail, and heined about two hours being slow?


    ¡°Old sir, you still remember what you just said, don¡¯t you?¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Wu Qi.


    Wu Qi¡¯s face fluctuated between light and dark before he finally approached Yang Xiaotian.


    Luo Qing came up behind Yang Xiaotian, watching the other party closely, fearing he might harm Yang Xiaotian. Although Luo Qing was unaware of the full extent of the old man¡¯s strength, he was certain it was formidable, possibly even greater than his own.


    As Luo Qing watched nervously, Wu Qi came before Yang Xiaotian, sped his fists, and said, ¡°Wu Qi pays respects to Master.¡±


    He felt a mixture of emotions.


    The other five were stunned and wanted to say something.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going toe over and pay respect to your Ancestor Master?!¡±


    Seeing the others hesitate, Wu Qi¡¯s expression darkened as hemanded.


    The other five wore expressions of bitterness, but eventually, they too came before Yang Xiaotian and called him Ancestor Master with sped fists.


    However, addressing a child as Ancestor Master felt awkward no matter how they said it.


    Seeing the expressions of Wu Qi and the other five, Yang Xiaotian said to Wu Qi, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to call me Master in the future. How about this, you all refine medicine for me for ten years, how¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I will not have you refine medicine for me for free, I will give each of you a top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir every year.¡±


    Wu Qi rxed when he heard Yang Xiaotian say that he no longer had to call him Master, but he was taken aback when he heard that they were to refine medicine for ten years for him, in exchange for a top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir annually.


    ¡°Agreed,¡± nodded Wu Qi.


    ¡°Good, then please swear an oath, elder sir,¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke.

    Wu Qi nodded and immediately swore an oath by the heavenly dao, essentially promising to concoct medicines for Yang Xiaotian for the next ten years without harboring a second heart.


    His five disciples also swiftly followed suit with their oaths.


    After that, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t leave Poison Soul Valley. Instead, he took a thorough tour of the ce, searching every corner and actually found some valuable items.


    Some of which were no less impressive than the Golden Lotus Mushroom he had found earlier.


    Seeing that it had gottenpletely dark, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions finally left Poison Soul Valley.


    Wushan was rife with poisonous insects, so the group didn¡¯t linger for long. By the time they left Wushan, the night was deep. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian and the others found a ce outside Wushan to rest for the night before continuing their journey.


    Along the way, Wu Qi and his six disciples were extremely curious about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity.


    Several dayster, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions finally returned to Divine Sword City.


    By this time, there were only a few days left until the Pharmacistpetition, and experts from various sects and families of Divine Sea Country poured into Divine Sword City, making the ce extraordinarily bustling. Even the normally spacious streets seemed somewhat congested.


    Luxurious carriages of the great families that were rarely seen were now visible everywhere.


    ¡°It seems I need to get a mount of my own in the future,¡± Yang Xiaotian remarked, observing the luxurious carriages all around.


    ¡°I heard that in a few days, the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild is having an auction. In addition to auctioning off those ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, they¡¯ll also auction off many other fine items, including a luxurious carriage,¡± Luo Qing said with a smile to Yang Xiaotian: ¡°This luxurious carriage is made of high-grade fine steel and the horses are ck Scaled Horses, which can travel a thousand miles in a day.¡±


    All this was the information gathered by the Shadow Squad that Yang Xiaotian had instructed him to form.


    ¡°ck Scaled Horses?¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    Although ck Scaled Horses were decent, they were stillcking.


    In fact, his intention was to go to Red Moon Forest and subdue two mount beasts to construct his own mount.


    The group chatted as they walked.


    Unknowingly, they arrived back at their residence.


    Ate, Ali, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others were delighted to see Yang Xiaotian return.


    ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re finally back,¡± Ate said to Yang Xiaotian. ¡°In your absence, the Fourth Princess hase almost every day with a troop of experts to cause trouble.¡±


    ¡°If you hadn¡¯te back, she might have torn down the front gate.¡±


    Seeing Ate with a troubled expression, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°If shees again next time, you don¡¯t need to report it to me. Just throw her out onto the street.¡±


    However, Liao Kun helplessly said, ¡°Among the experts she brought this time, there were several at the Martial King Realm, and two of them might be at the tenth level of Martial King.¡±


    ¡°Just tenth level of Martial King,¡± Liu An from Wu Qi¡¯s disciples scoffed.


    Liao Kun and the others couldn¡¯t help but look towards Liu An.


    Yang Xiaotian introduced Wu Qi and his six disciples to Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and Ate: ¡°This is Mr. Wu Qi, and these are his disciples. Mr. Wu Qi and his six disciples are all Alchemists who will now serve me. Arrange six upper rooms for Mr. Wu Qi and his disciples.¡±


    Ate and Ali promptly responded with respect.


    ¡°We¡¯ll go rest first then. Young Master, if there¡¯s anything you need, call for me at any time,¡± Wu Qi said to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    After Ate and Ali had taken Wu Qi and his six disciples down to rest, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the cultivation status of the ves they had bought recently.


    Upon learning that five hundred ves had broken through to the Innate level,


    Yang Xiaotian took out two hundred doses of supreme grade Foundation


    Building Spiritual Liquid for Liao Kun to distribute to the remaining ves who hadn¡¯t broken through for their cultivation.


    These two hundred doses of supreme grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid were concocted by him while he was on the way to Wushan.


    ¡°Let me know once they¡¯ve all broken through to Innate,¡± Yang Xiaotian instructed.


    He nned to take his thousand ves to Red Moon Forest for intensive training once they all achieved the Innate level.


    These ves, of course, cannot be raised in a greenhouse.


    Only through rigorous training can they truly be of use to him.


    Moreover, he also wanted to go to the Red Moon Forest to pick out a couple of good Mount Beasts.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing select another batch of talented ves to expand the Shadow Squad to a hundred members.


    Night fell.


    Yang Xiaotian practiced the Hundred Swords Technique in the courtyard for a while, then began crafting the Dragon-Tiger Elixir and Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    At this time, Liu An reported to Wu Qi the information about Yang Xiaotian that he had gathered during the day.


    Out of curiosity about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, Liu An had gone out to inquire carefully today.


    When Zhang Jingrong had inquired about Yang Xiaotian, he had onlyprehended thirty Stone Swords and was an Elder of the Sword Hall.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended a hundred Stone Swords and had be the Master of the Sword Hall.


    As such, Liu An was even more astounded after his investigations.


    ¡°What, you¡¯re saying, The Young Master is the new Master of Divine Sword


    Academy¡¯s Sword Hall?!¡± Wu Qi almost sprayed out his tea upon hearing this.


    Being one of the powerful figures in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, he naturally knew of the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Hall, and was aware that the position of the Sword Hall Master had been vacant for hundreds of years.


    Wu Qi¡¯s other disciples were also shocked beyond measure.


    ¡°Brother Liu, are you sure it¡¯s the same person? It¡¯s not just someone with the same name?¡± Chen Yehong, Liu An¡¯s junior, could hardly believe that the position of Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Hall Master, vacant for centuries, was now held by an eight-year-old child.


    ¡°I also found it hard to believe at first, but after confirming with many people, it indeed is our Young Master,¡± Liu An said with aplex expression. ¡°The new Master of Divine Sword Academy¡¯s Sword Hall is named Yang Xiaotian, and he is eight years old.¡±


    He then spoke in an odd tone, ¡°The Young Master took less than a month toprehend all of Divine Sword Academy¡¯s hundred Stone Swords.¡± Wu Qi and his fellows had their eyes wide open like brass bells.


    ¡°Less than a month toprehend the hundred Stone Swords of Divine Sword Academy!¡±


    For the past few months, they had stayed in Wushan, striving to tame the me of Star, and thus they were unaware of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s affairs.


    ¡°To be precise, it was less than half a month,¡± Liu An added with a trembling heart. ¡°Because the Young Master went on a trip afterprehending thirty Stone Swords, and it was only after a break that he continued toprehend the remaining seventy Stone Swords.¡±


    ¡°On his best day, heprehended ten Stone Swords.¡±


    At this point, his breathing became rapid, ¡°He possesses a Twin-born Level


    Eleven Supreme Martial Spirit, and moreover, he has cultivated various Acquired swordsmanship techniques to the pinnacle of summit mastery.¡± Wu Qi and the others had their mouths wide open, frozen like statues.


    ¡°How long has the Young Master been awakened to his Martial Soul?¡± Chen Yehong asked with a dry throat.


    ¡°He awakened it in November ofst year,¡± Liu An replied.


    Now it¡¯s July, so his Martial Soul had only been awakened for eight months!


    ¡°What about his talent in Alchemy?¡± Wu Qi asked eagerly.


    This was what they were most eager to know.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know yet,¡± Liu An shook his head. ¡°Because no one has seen him craft potions, we don¡¯t know about his alchemy talents. However, I heard that he once told Princess Cheng Beibei that he passed the Pharmacist¡¯s test in less than half an hour, but she and the others were convinced he was lying and used him of impersonating a pharmacist of the Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    Passing the Pharmacist¡¯s test in less than half an hour!


    Wu Qi and the others were profoundly shocked.


    Impersonating?


    Wu Qi looked in the direction of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard. Cheng Beibei and the others might think Yang Xiaotian was lying, but they didn¡¯t think so..

 Chapter 85: Is Yang Xiaotian a One-Star Pharmacist?

    Chapter 85: Is Yang Xiaotian a One-Star Pharmacist?


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°If the Young Master can really produce a lower grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in less than half an hour, then his alchemy talent is absolutely monstrous,¡± Chen Yehong said, unable to calm himself.


    In less than half an hour, he passed the Pharmacist assessment.


    In the Divine Dragon Empire, this was absolutely unprecedented.


    ¡°Do you think that the best quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir could also be concocted by the Young Master?¡± Suddenly, Liu An said.


    Wu Qi knocked Liu An on the head with a knock, saying irritably, ¡°What nonsense are you thinking about?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian being able to produce a lower grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in less than half an hour and passing the Pharmacist assessment was already a miracle in history. How could Yang Xiaotian have possibly concocted something like the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, an Innate Spirit Pill, so soon after his Pharmacist assessment?


    Let alone a top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Even for him, Wu Qi, it would be very difficult to concoct a top-quality Innate Spirit Pill.


    Scratching his head in embarrassment, Liu An said, ¡°I was just speaking off the top of my head.¡±


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian arrived early at the Divine Sword Academy Repository.


    Since he was going to the Red Moon Forest to tame a Mount Beast in a short while, he nned to spend these days learning the Beast Language and the Beast Taming Technique. Mastery of the Beast Language and the Beast Taming Technique would make taming a Mount Beast an absolute breeze.


    However, as the difficulty level of learning the Beast Language and the Beast Taming Technique is not lower than that of alchemy, very few people manage to master them.


    On the fourth floor of the Book Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian found books rted to the Beast Language and the Beast Taming Technique.


    Because Beast Taming Technique was a niche field, there were not many books avable¡ªonly about a dozen in the Book Pavilion.


    But for Yang Xiaotian, this was already enough.


    After flipping through an introductory book on Beast Language, Yang Xiaotian started trying to pronounce the unique phics of the Beast Language.


    The first attempt was a bit rough, but by the second attempt, he had already be much more proficient.


    After an hour, the Beast Language pronounced by Yang Xiaotian was already precise and urate.


    Then he read the second book, and the third.


    One by one, he went through them, and before he realized it, he had finished the dozen or so books rted to the Beast Language and the Beast Taming Technique.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian was deeply moved.


    Actually, to conquer a beast, just learning the entire Beast Language was tantamount to half the sess.


    Next came the Beast Taming Technique.


    The Beast Taming Technique requires the use of the Beast Language,bined with the Blood Sacrifice Technique to control fierce beasts.


    And the stronger the soul, the more fierce beasts one could control. However, the vast majority of Beast Tamers can only control one fierce beast each.


    Beast Tamers who could control two fierce beasts were extremely rare.


    ¡°I wonder how many I can control?¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    His proficiency in the Beast Language was almostplete and he had fully memorized the Blood Sacrifice Technique. He had just practiced it once, and it should be correct.


    Now, he just needed to find a few fierce beasts to test his skills.


    With his powerful soul, he should be able to control two or even more fierce beasts.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to the Sword Hall to peruse Cao Shun¡¯s Swordsmanship Manuals and the Secret Techniques of Divine Skills.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent most of his days practicing the Hundred Swords Technique and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, asionally engaging in alchemy or visiting the Sword Hall to study Swordsmanship Manuals.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, during the few days since his return, he did not see Cheng Beibeiing to cause trouble at his residence.


    Originally, he had intended to throw her out of the residence whenever she came to make a fuss.


    However, since she did note, he enjoyed a quiet life instead.


    Over theing days, the remaining ves finally broke through to the Innate


    Realm.


    Now, excluding Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others, he had a thousand Innate Realm under him.


    Unbeknownst to many, the Pharmacist Competition had finally arrived.


    Before dawn, the entire Divine Sword City was already in turmoil.


    ¡°It has finallye, ¡± said Yang Xiaotian as he stopped cultivating and stretchedzily.


    He had also been awaiting the Pharmacist Competition these past days.


    Dressed neatly and stepping out of the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian called Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Ate, Ali, and the eight others. Passing by Wu Qi¡¯s courtyard and seeing that Wu Qi and his disciples were all present, he also invited Wu Qi and his disciples along.


    Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian was going to participate in today¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, Wu Qi¡¯s disciples became excited.


    These past days, they hadn¡¯t had a chance to see their young master practice alchemy. Today, they would finally have the opportunity to witness their young master¡¯s talent in alchemy.


    While they believed that Yang Xiaotian had passed the Alchemist examination in less than half an hour, they still wanted to see for themselves if Yang


    Xiaotian could truly concoct a lower-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid within half an hour.


    Leaving the estate and stepping onto the main street, it was already packed like a sea of people.


    This Pharmacist Competition could be said to be unprecedented. Even strong practitioners from the surrounding nations hade to watch.


    ¡°Have you heard? Prince Cheng Fei has tamed a Spiritual Fire. This Pharmacist Competition, Prince Cheng Long is sure to take first ce!¡±


    ¡°Though Prince Cheng Fei has tamed a Spiritual Fire, Miss Chen Zihan might not necessarily lose. ¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t know? Prince Cheng Fei tamed the Cold Spirit Bone Fire, and it¡¯s said that he has be a disciple of Mr. Jiang Yu, with his alchemy level improving by leaps and bounds.¡±


    ¡°What, Mr. Jiang Yu? The legendary alchemist from the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom?¡±


    In front of Yang Xiaotian, a group of family disciples was engaged in an animated discussion.


    Listening to the disciples¡¯ discussions upfront, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    In heaven and earth, there are many types of Spiritual Fires, over ten thousand varieties.


    The Cold Spirit Bone Fire is only ranked number one thousand six hundred and thirty-one on the Spirit Fire Ranking.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at the Pharmacist Hall, Cheng Beibei, and a group of top practitioners from the King of Divine Sea¡¯s royal family also arrived at the Pharmacist Hall.


    ¡°Big brother, that¡¯s him; that¡¯s Yang Xiaotian!¡± Cheng Beibei, with her sharp eyes, spotted Yang Xiaotian immediately and pointed at him angrily.


    The young man beside her was Cheng Long, who was wearing a Flood Dragon Robe and exuding the aura of nobility. He looked at Yang Xiaotian with a tone that was far from friendly, ¡°You are Yang Xiaotian?¡± He had always been affectionate towards his sister.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian had kicked his sister away twice!


    Even though his father had told him not to provoke Yang Xiaotian, he still felt extremely displeased with Yang Xiaotian in his heart.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Cheng Long and ignored him, leading Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and the others into the square.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian ignore him, Cheng Long¡¯s face darkened.


    As the second prince of the Divine Sea Country, when had he ever been treated this way?


    ¡°Big brother, look at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrogance,¡± fumed Cheng Beibei and said, ¡°You must teach him a lesson!¡±


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± Cheng Long coldly watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure.


    They also entered the square afterward and then encountered Chen Zihan, Hu Xing, and others.


    At that time, when Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Hu Xing, and others saw Yang Xiaotian walking towards the Pharmacist participants¡¯ area, they couldn¡¯t help but be startled.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be nning to participate in the Pharmacist Competition too, could he?¡± said a guard next to Cheng Beibei.


    However, the rules of the Pharmacist Competition stipted that only Alchemists were qualified to participate.


    Amidst their astonishment, they saw Yang Xiaotian take out a one-star Alchemist identification que.


    ¡°A one-star Alchemist identification que?


    ¡°Did Yang Xiaotian really pass the Alchemist assessment?¡±


    Cheng Long, Hu Xing, and the others were greatly surprised, and then they turned their gazes towards Chen Zihan and Cheng Beibei.. Hadn¡¯t Chen Zihan and Cheng Beibei always said that Yang Xiaotian was an impostor posing as an Alchemist from the Pharmacist Hall?

    Chapter 86: Met Once Three Months Ago


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Definitely not true!¡± At this moment, Cheng Beibei eximed excitedly, ¡°There¡¯s no way Yang Xiaotian could have passed the Pharmacist Hall¡¯s examination!¡±


    She didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could really pass the Pharmacist Hall¡¯s examination.


    It wasn¡¯t just Cheng Beibei; Chen Zihan didn¡¯t believe it either.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to register with his one-star alchemist identity card, Chen Zihan came over and called out, ¡°Hold on!¡±


    When the pharmacist in charge of registration saw that it was Chen Zihan, he quickly stood up and said, ¡°Miss Chen.¡±


    However, Chen Zihan went straight to pick up Yang Xiaotian¡¯s one-star alchemist identity card to inspect it, while asking, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, which Pharmacist Hall did you take the alchemist examination?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Chen Zihan who was questioning him with a calm face and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know which hall master you are from the Pharmacist Hall. Do I need to answer you?¡±


    ording to the rules of the Pharmacist Hall, only the hall masters had the right to inquire about these matters.


    Chen Zihan was so angry she choked up.


    Her face turned red with rage, and she red furiously at Yang Xiaotian.


    However, no matter how she checked, she could find no problem with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s one-star alchemist identity card.


    ¡°Are we done here?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the pharmacist in charge of registration.


    Seeing Chen Zihan still there, flipping over Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity card, the pharmacist came forward, struggling to say, ¡°Miss Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Chen Zihan could only reluctantly hand over the identity card to the pharmacist for registration, ring hatefully at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t be smug. Even if you passed the alchemist examination, it¡¯s nothing! Wait for the alchemistpetition, I¡¯ll teach you a harsh lesson! I¡¯ll show you what a real alchemy genius is!¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked Chen Zihan up and down, ¡°A genius? You?¡±


    Chen Zihan was so furious that her chest heaved; she red venomously at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Just you wait and see.¡±


    After Yang Xiaotian had registered, he entered thepetitor¡¯s area.


    ¡°It¡¯s Yang Xiaotian! Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang is also participating in the alchemistpetition, he has passed the Pharmacist Hall¡¯s examination!¡±


    Many teachers and students from the Divine Sword Academy hade to watch today¡¯s alchemistpetition, and they were all astounded when they saw Yang Xiaotian entering thepetitors¡¯ area.


    Following themotion of the teachers and students from the Divine Sword Academy, the various families and sect masters from Divine Sword City were also in an uproar.


    On the main stage, Peng Zhigang, the invited Divine Sword City Lord, was equally shocked to see Yang Xiaotian taking part in the alchemistpetition.


    At the birthday banquet, didn¡¯t Chen Zihan swear that Yang Xiaotian had impersonated a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall?


    Sitting next to Peng Zhigang were Cai Hao, the Dean of Yunhui Academy, and Luo Junpeng, the Vice Dean.


    ¡°Is that Yang Xiaotian from the Divine Sword Academy?¡± Cai Hao, looking at Yang Xiaotian entering thepetition area, furrowed his brows and asked Luo Junpeng.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s Yang Xiaotian,¡± Luo Junpeng replied with a troubled expression.


    He didn¡¯t expect that not only did Yang Xiaotian possess amazing Martial Soul and Sword Dao talents, but his alchemy talent was also incredibly astonishing.


    Passing the Pharmacist Hall examination at the age of eight was a phenomenon that could no longer be described as monstrous.


    In the crowd, Deng Yichun from Yunhui Academy watched Yang Xiaotian with an equally troubled expression.


    As a young alchemy genius from the Divine Sea Country, he had arrived early today.


    He didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to truly participate in the alchemistpetition, let alone that he had actually passed the alchemist examination. Yang Xiaotian, sensing Deng Yichun¡¯s gaze, looked over and saw Deng Yichun¡¯s deathly pale face.


    Chen Zihan, seeing that everyone around her was astonished by Yang Xiaotian and that all eyes were on him with no one paying attention to her, was even more upset.


    Subsequently, Chen Zihan, Cheng Long, Hu Xing, and others who had already registered walked into thepetition area.


    As Cheng Long passed by Yang Xiaotian, he said coldly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re just pleased with yourself for passing an alchemist examination, but it remains to be seen whether you¡¯ll get through the first round.¡±


    At that moment, a young man outside the field addressed Cheng Long, ¡°Cheng


    Long, are you out of your mind? Which eye of yours saw Divine Yang Young Master beingcent?¡±


    The crowd was surprised; no one expected someone to dare call Cheng Long brain-damaged.


    Cheng Long looked over and his expression changed when he saw the young man.


    The young man was none other than Prince Gu Xi of the Ancient Sword Kingdom.


    Gu Xi was a sword fanatic, famous for his obsession with swords and swordsmanship.


    With a fist-sped smile, Gu Xi said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Divine Yang Young Master, your reputation precedes you. I am Prince Gu Xi of the Ancient Sword Kingdom. I have the utmost admiration for you, Divine Yang Young Master. I did not expect that you not only possess exceptional Sword Dao Talent but also such heaven-defying Alchemy Level. I will surely seek guidance on swordsmanship from Divine Yang Young Master in the future.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded friendly in response.


    He hadn¡¯t expected the Prince of the Ancient Sword Kingdom to be a fan of his.


    In fact, Yang Xiaotian had underestimated his own influence.


    The feat of hisprehension of a hundred Stone Swords at the Divine Sword Academy and bing the Sword Hall Master of the academy had gradually spread. Many sword dao geniuses and masters from the surrounding countries admired him immensely.


    At this time, the crowd stirred as four elders stepped onto the main stage.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lord Li Wen, Lord Wu Qi, Lord Feng Xing, Lord MO Lingkai!¡± someone called out excitedly.


    These four were the Grand Alchemists of the Divine Sea Country.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected Li Wen to be there as well.


    He sized up the four individuals; Li Wen looked as energetic as thest time,


    Wu Qi was a fatty and also the master of Deng Yichun, Feng Xing had silver hair, clearly he was the Feng Old Monster that Chen Yuan and the others had mentioned; the Qiu Haiqiu who had been killed by him in Xingyue City was his disciple.


    MO Lingkai, in contrast, resembled a Confucian schr and was the youngest among the four.


    Peng Zhigang, Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, and others saw the arrival of Li Wen and the three grandmasters and quickly rose to wee them.


    As the Grand Pharmacist Hall Master of Divine Sea Country, Li Wen held a particrly extraordinary status. He nodded and smiled at people like Peng Zhigang, then turned to Yang Xiaotian sitting below and said with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the young friend to also participate in the Alchemist Tournament. This time, the tournament will certainly be exciting!¡±


    The audience was astonished, as none had anticipated Li Wen would greet Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled lightly, ¡°You tter me, Grand Hall Master Li.¡±


    Li Wen chuckled and joined the others in sitting down.


    In truth, the decision to set this Alchemist Tournament in Divine Sword City had been his idea.


    By doing so, he actually aimed to attract Yang Xiaotian to participate.


    He had found Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy during thest assessment enthralling and longed to see more.


    He was just curious whether the young man had improved his alchemy in the past few months.


    Cheng Long, Hu Xing, Chen Zihan, and others were greatly surprised to see that Yang Xiaotian actually knew Li Wen.


    ¡°Does Grand Hall Master Li acquaint himself with Yang Xiaotian?¡± Peng Zhigang couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, Feng Xing, Wu Qi, MO Lingkai¡ªall were curious how Li Wen hade to know Yang Xiaotian.


    With a smile, Li Wen nodded and said, ¡°I met him once, three months ago.¡±


    The crowd was dumbfounded.


    Just met once?


    But judging by the way the two had interacted just now, it didn¡¯t seem like they had only met once.


    After a while, Li Wen spoke to Lin Yuan, ¡°It¡¯s about time, let¡¯s begin.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± responded Lin Yuan, standing and canvassing the venue before announcing, ¡°The Alchemist Tournament shall nowmence, and here is the first round..¡±

 Chapter 87 - 87 Gale Torrential Rain

    Chapter 87: Gale Torrential Rain


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°The first round is the selection of medicinal herbs,¡± Lin Yuan¡¯s voice was loud enough for the whole venue to hear, ¡°Select the herbs for concocting the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in the shortest time possible.¡±


    ¡°Whoever takes the least amount of time, and whose selection of herbs is the mostplete and of the highest quality, will rank the highest.¡±


    Following that, disciples of the Pharmacist Hall began to ce batches of herbs in front of Yang Xiaotian, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, Huang Tingting, and the others.


    The herbs required for concocting the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid totaled fourteen kinds, but at this moment, they were mixed with many other herbs andid out in front of thepetitors like Yang Xiaotian-


    The mixed herbs amounted to two hundred types in total.


    This meant that Yang Xiaotian and the others needed to quickly select the fourteen kinds of herbs needed for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid from among the two hundred.


    Of course, in each batch of mixed herbs, there were two types of the required herbs for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, one of premium quality and one of inferior quality.


    Manypetitors, looking at therge pile of herbs before them, furrowed their brows.


    To select the herbs was not hard, but to choose the right fourteen kinds from two hundred mixed herbs was extremely difficult.


    The two hundred varieties mixed together made for a dizzying array that was overwhelming to even contemte where to begin.


    Moreover, many of the two hundred herbs had colors and shapes simr to those needed for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Sometimes, even if a few herbs were ced separately, one could mistakenly pick the wrong one if not careful, let alone now that they were all mixed together.


    After all the disciples had finished arranging the herbs, Lin Yuan said, ¡°Begin now! ¡±


    As soon as Lin Yuan¡¯s words fell, Cheng Long immediately sprang into action. He almost leapt at his pile of herbs with an agility akin to an arrow leaving the bow, his hands moving so fast that they seemed to create illusions, quickly sorting the two hundred types of herbs into several small piles.


    ¡°What a Phantom Demon Hand!¡± Feng Xing eximed upon seeing Cheng


    Long¡¯s handiwork, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Master Jiang Yu even passed on the


    Phantom Demon Hand to His Highness.¡±


    Wu Qi also nodded in approval, ¡°His Highness¡¯ Phantom Demon Hand has been cultivated to an eight-shadow degree. His talent is extraordinary.¡±


    From a distance, Cheng Long looked as if he had eight arms.


    When Chen Zihan approached her pile of herbs, she swept her hands once, and the two hundred kinds of herbs spread out, each type separated by a certain distance.


    ¡°Miss Chen¡¯s Cloud Brushing Hand is astonishing!¡± MO Lingkai said to Li Wen with a smile, ¡°The Grand Hall Master has a worthy sessor.¡±


    Feng Xing, Wu Qi, Peng Zhigang, Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, and others also praised her.


    Li Wen watched Chen Zihan with a smile, clearly very satisfied with his disciple.


    He turned his gaze to Yang Xiaotian.


    But he saw Yang Xiaotian standing there, not moving an inch.


    Li Wen, Lin Yuan, and others, seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled.


    Outside the arena, Cheng Beibei sneered upon witnessing this, ¡°It seems Yang Xiaotian doesn¡¯t know where to start with that pile of herbs. He can¡¯t even distinguish the herbs for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. I really don¡¯t know how he passed the Pharmacist assessment.¡±


    Cheng Beibei¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t quiet, and many people around heard her.


    Some disciples from Yunhui Academy, already hostile towards Divine Sword Academy,ughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s one-star Pharmacist certification couldn¡¯t have been bought, could it?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s entirely possible! With the resources of Divine Sword Academy, buying a one-star Pharmacist title would be easy,¡± they jeered.


    Many Yunhui Academy disciples began to scoff out loud.


    The students and teachers of Divine Sword Academy red angrily at the jeering Yunhui Academy disciples.


    But the disciples from Yunhui Academy only became more boisterous in their taunting.


    At that moment, the guards behind Cheng Beibei alsoughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you might as well step down now. If you can¡¯t even pick out the herbs for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, don¡¯t embarrass yourself!¡±


    Lin Yuan frowned, about to speak up in rification when suddenly, Yang Xiaotian finally made his move. He made a sweeping gesture with his hands from several meters away towards the pile of herbs.


    A gale erupted.


    Suddenly, the pile of herbs was swept up by the gale and then flew into the air.


    The crowd was startled upon seeing this.


    What kind of technique was this?


    At that moment, Cheng Beibei sneered, ¡°This must be a martial arts technique.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t possibly think this is a martial arts arena, could he? Please, this is a Pharmacistpetition.¡±


    The guards by her side also smiled.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained expressionless as he turned his palms over.


    The wind began to circte rhythmically, and the pile of herbs began to separate distinctly, floating within the wind. Each type of herb distributed itself in different corners of the turbulent wind,yered from top to bottom¡ª the darkest herbs at the top and the lightest ones at the bottom.


    As the herbs were systematically ced within the wind, creating a miraculous scene, everyone watched in astonishment, even Cheng Beibei and her guards, who had just beenughing, were now silent.


    After all the herbs were properly arranged in the wind, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fingers danced rapidly, flicking energy at the herbs within the wind like a torrential downpour.


    One after another, the herbs were flicked up into the air.


    These flicked herbsnded on the ground, one by one.


    Not more, not less.


    Exactly fourteen types!


    These were precisely the fourteen types of herbs needed for concocting the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Then, with a turn of his palms, Yang Xiaotian abruptly stopped the gale. All the superfluous herbs fell to the ground beside him.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, whether it was Li Wen, Peng Zhigang, and others on the presidential stage, or the experts from various countries and sects standing below.


    They had never imagined that the fourteen herbs for creating the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid could be selected in this manner.


    It took less than a minute!


    No, to be exact, it was just a matter of seconds.


    Almost everyone was witnessing this method of herb selection for the first time.


    Li Wen was also seeing this method for the first time.


    Liu An¡¯s eyes widened as he thought of a technique, but he couldn¡¯t be sure. He turned to Wu Qi, ¡°Master, could this be?¡±


    ¡°Gale Torrential Rain!¡± eximed Wu Qi, staring at the selected pile of herbs, speaking slowly, his voice unable to hide the excitement and tremor.


    Wu Qi¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it was still overheard by some people nearby. ¡°What, Gale Torrential Rain! One of the top ten alchemy techniques!¡±


    ¡°This is Gale Torrential Rain. I¡¯ve witnessed the Gale Torrential Rain technique!¡±


    Many pharmacists who heard this trembled inexplicably, overwhelmed with excitement.


    Li Wen, Wu Qi, Feng Xing, MO Lingkai, Peng Zhigang, Cai Hao, and others on the presidential stage were all shocked and stood up.


    ¡°Gale Torrential Rain!¡± Li Wen was incoherent, ¡°This, this!¡±


    Three months prior, when Yang Xiaotian took his Pharmacist assessment, his disy of the Layered Wave Hand technique was astonishing, but it paled inparison to the miraculous top ten alchemy techniques before them.


    ¡°So it is the Gale Torrential Rain technique,¡± Wu Qi said excitedly, his beard trembling nonstop.


    The top ten alchemy techniques of the pharmacists were indeed magical, but extremely rare. Many pharmacists could go their entire lives without witnessing any of them, and now they were fortunate enough to see one.


    Cheng Beibei waspletely dumbstruck. She stared wide-eyed at the pile of fourteen herbs that had been selected and neatly arranged.


    ¡°Gale Torrential Rain? One of the top ten alchemy techniques?¡±


    Wasn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian just performing a martial arts technique a moment ago? How did it turn into one of the top ten alchemy techniques?


    (Awesome!)

 Chapter 88: Should Be of Middle Quality

    Chapter 88: Should Be of Middle Quality


    Trantor: 549690339


    Cheng Long, who was initially disying the Phantom Demon Hand as if he had eight arms, selected a type of herb and was feeling quite pleased with himself when suddenly, he saw a gust of wind rise next to him. Xiaotian¡¯s finger force, like a torrential downpour, popped out one herb after another.


    Then he heard the excited exmations of ¡°Gale Torrential Rain¡± technique from the crowd around him.


    He waspletely dumbfounded, ¡°Gale, Torrential Rain?!¡±


    One of the top ten alchemy techniques?


    He was bewildered.


    Not only was Cheng Long bewildered, but Chen Zihan, who was vigorously executing the Cloud Brushing Hand to perfection, was also dumbfounded.


    And so were Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and the others.


    They stared at Xiaotian who by now had ceased his movements.


    By this time, the sunlight was already very strong, and Xiaotian stood there bathed in sunlight, his entire body seemingly cloaked in ayer of golden radiance.


    ¡°Please begin the count,¡± Xiaotian said to an appraiser nearby as everyone else was in shock.


    The appraiser came to his senses and was about to step forward to start counting when Lin Yuan leapt down in front of Xiaotian and the pile of herbs, carefully counting the fourteen types of herbs Xiaotian had selected.


    ¡°Single Fruit, top-grade, Five Spirits Flower, top-grade¡­¡± Lin Yuan read each name, and with each one, his heart tightened a little more.


    ¡°All fourteen herbs are correct, all top-grade, time taken, thirteen breaths,¡± Lin Yuan stood up, trying to stabilize his emotions, but as soon as he spoke, he couldn¡¯t contain his excitement.


    Thirteen breaths!


    Even he couldn¡¯t have done it.


    Even if he used all his skills, to pick out all fourteen herbs would take at least forty to fifty breaths.


    Let alone that the herbs Xiaotian had picked were all top-grade.


    The best ones!


    Hearing the results announced by Lin Yuan personally, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, and the others, who still harbored a sliver of hope Xiaotian¡¯s selection might be wrong, werepletely devastated.


    With this result, Xiaotian was undoubtedly going to be first.


    Even if the herbs they had picked were all top-grade, they could not surpass


    Xiaotian. ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    Suddenly, the teachers and students of Divine Sword Academy shouted excitedly.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡± Suddenly, Gu Xi, the prince of Ancient Sword Kingdom, also called out excitedly.


    Many of the Sword Dao Disciples from Ancient Sword Kingdom had always admired Xiaotian, and seeing their prince shouting, they also cried out, ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    The roar grew louder, leaving Cheng Beibei and her guards feeling almost deafened.


    Cheng Beibei stood there,pletely drowned out by the uproar, unable to summon a smile any longer.


    The noise took a long time to subside.


    At this time, within Divine Sword Academy, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were discussing the exam results for the end of the school term when they saw students running out crazily, making them wonder what was going on.


    They stopped a student and asked what the matter was.


    ¡°It¡¯s Divine Yang, Hall Master Yang, Hall Master Yang is participating in the Pharmacistpetition,¡± said the excited student.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were astounded.


    ¡°You mean, Hall Master Yang, he is a Pharmacist? He passed the Pharmacist assessment?¡± Lin Yong asked, astonished.


    Before the two could fully react, the student continued, ¡°Hall Master Yang just performed one of the top ten alchemy techniques, Gale Torrential Rain, and took first ce in the first round!¡± One of the top ten alchemy techniques!


    Gale Torrential Rain!


    Long after the student had left, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan still stood there stupefied.


    ¡°Hall Master him?!¡± After a long time, Chen Yuan stuttered.


    Lin Yong took a deep breath to steady his heart, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Then he said, ¡°I almost became the criminal of the academy!¡±


    This was referring to the previous incident where Chen Yuan persuaded him to have Yang Xiaotian stay at the Divine Sword Academy.


    ¡°Should we inform Elder Chen and the others about the Hall Master participating in the Pharmacistpetition?¡± Chen Yuan suddenly said.


    ¡°Yes, yes, tell Elder Chen and the others!¡± Lin Yong snapped back to his senses and hurried to the Sword Hall with Chen Yuan.


    Momentster, in the Sword Hall, five figures dashed out, sprinting at full speed to the Medicine Hallpetition venue, along with Lin Yong and Chen Yuan.


    The first round of thepetition had a set time limit of half an hour.


    Within half an hour, any pharmacist who had not selected their medicinal ingredients would be eliminated.


    Of course, those who chose randomly or incorrectly were equally disqualified.


    In the first round, Yang Xiaotian was naturally the uncontested first ce.


    The second ce was Cheng Long, third was Chen Zihan, followed by Deng Yichun, Huang Tingting, and others, with Hu Xing just making it into the top ten.


    Although they had guessed that the first round would turn out this way, Cheng


    Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, and others still couldn¡¯t hide their displeasure.


    They, always regarding themselves as the best of the younger generation among the Divine Sea Country¡¯s pharmacists, were actually losing to an eight-year-old child today?


    Cheng Beibei¡¯s bodyguard spoke up, ¡°Princess, rest assured, the Pharmacistpetition ultimately judges alchemy level, Yang Xiaotian mav know the Gale


    Torrential Rain, but he definitely won¡¯t be able to refine high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.¡±


    ¡°Let alone high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, he definitely won¡¯t be able to refine even a medium-quality one.¡±


    ¡°By then, the first ce will still belong to the Second Prince.¡±


    Cheng Beibei looked slightly better upon hearing this and coldly said, ¡°You¡¯re right, the first ce in the Pharmacistpetition will still be my second brother¡¯s.¡±


    At this time, Lin Yuan, who was on the presiding stage, said, ¡°Next is the second round of thepetition. The challenge of the second round is for you to refine a portion of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid with the medicinal ingredients you have selected.¡±


    ¡°Whoever refines the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid of the highest quality and in the shortest time will rank the highest.¡±


    Hearing that the second round of thepetition was indeed about refining the quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, Huang Tingting, and the others felt relieved.


    Having refined for many years, they were extremely confident in their ability to produce Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, with a ny percent sess rate.


    And certainly, the quality of the Spiritual Liquid they refined would not be low.


    Especially Cheng Long, who was extremely confident, as he possessed the Cold Spirit Bone Fire, ranked at number one thousand six hundred and thirty-one on the Spirit Fire Ranking.


    He didn¡¯t believe that the quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid that Yang Xiaotian would refer would surpass his own.


    ¡°Thepetition begins,¡± Lin Yuan dered loudly.


    Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, Huang Tingting, and others immediately got to work.


    Wu Qi, Liu An, and others watched Yang Xiaotian closely.


    ¡°Master, what quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid do you think the young master can refine?¡± Liu An couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Should be medium-quality,¡± Wu Qi contemted.


    An eight-year-old child refining medium -quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid would certainly be an incredible event, but Yang Xiaotian had the me of Star; it was possible for him to refine a medium-quality Spiritual Liquid.


    At this time, Chen Changqing, He Le, Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others had also arrived at the scene. They too watched Yang Xiaotian nervously.


    It was certain that Yang Xiaotian could refine at least low-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid since he had passed the Pharmacist examination, but they were still praying in their hearts that he would create another Divine Miracle and refine medium-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid this time.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone wanted to see what quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid Yang Xiaotian could actually refine.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Yang Xiaotian suddenly stretched out his arm and shouted, ¡°Fire,e!¡±


    Instantly, between heaven and earth, countless Heaven and Earth Fires transformed into a sea of fire, surging heavenward toward Yang Xiaotian. When everyone saw that upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s call, the Heaven and Earth Fire appeared and surged toward him like a sea of fire, they were stunned.


    Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Hu Xing, Deng Yichun, and others, upon seeing the fire sea-like Heaven and Earth Fire, were so frightened they stopped in their

 Chapter 89: The Second Prince Wants to Refine the Innate Spirit Pill

    Chapter 89: The Second Prince Wants to Refine the Innate Spirit Pill


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°This this!¡± Cheng Beibei, who had originally been standing at the edge of the square, also took a big jump in fright at the sudden appearance of the fierce Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Her eyes were wide open.


    As if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.


    Yet Chen Yuan was trembling with excitement, ¡°It turns out, everything the Hall Master said was true!¡±


    Four months ago, on his way to Divine Sword Academy with Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian had said that he could sense Heaven and Earth Fire within a fifty-meter range, and he hadn¡¯t believed it.


    ¡°What!¡± Li Wen, Wu Qi, Feng Xing, MO Lingkai, Peng Zhigang, Cai Hao, and others who had just sat down were once again abruptly standing up, speechless with shock at the sight of the overwhelming Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Li Wen, Wu Qi, Feng Xing, MO Lingkai, and others were all among the four great alchemists of Divine Sea Country.


    They too could only manipte Heaven and Earth Fire within a fifty-meter range.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian had managed to do it as well.


    And so swiftly at that!


    Wu Qi, Liu An, and others were also taken aback by the Heaven and Earth Fire that covered the sky and earth.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the young master¡¯s Soul Power to be so strong.¡± After the surprise, Wu Qi felt very relieved.


    ¡°With the young master¡¯s Soul Power being so strong, he might be able to refine a high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid soon! ¡± Liu An said.


    Wu Qi nodded.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged, and with a wave of his right hand, all fourteen types of medicinal materials fell into the Medicine Cauldron.


    ¡°Go!¡± Watching the Heaven and Earth Fire that covered the sky, he pushed forward with both hands.


    Heaven and Earth Fire surged into the Medicine Cauldron like waves, one after another.


    With each wave of Heaven and Earth Fire, the fourteen types of medicinal materials inside the cauldron melted slightly.


    After a few waves, half of the fourteen types of medicinal materials had actually melted away.


    Watching this scene, many alchemists present were immensely shocked.


    This was their first time seeing alchemy done in such a way.


    For them, manipting Heaven and Earth Fire was extremely difficult.


    A slight mishap could lead to a loss of control.


    Yet now, the Heaven and Earth Fire waspletely obedient, being driven wave after wave towards the Medicine Cauldron by Yang Xiaotian, without a trace escaping.


    Li Wen and Lin Yuan watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s technique with awe.


    Although Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t using the Gale Torrential Rain technique, he was employing the most difficult technique of Layered Wave Hand, known as Pushing Waves.


    Pushing Waves melted medicinal materials very rapidly.


    However. it consumed a great deal of Soul Power. TvDicallv, after ten waves,


    one would be exhausted and need to switch to a different technique. But they saw that after over ten waves of Heaven and Earth Fire, Yang Xiaotian showed no signs of fatigue.


    After twenty waves of fire, the fragrance of medicine began to permeate from within the Medicine Cauldron.


    After thirty waves of fire, Yang Xiaotian suddenly stopped.


    Inside the Medicine Cauldron, the fragrance of the medicine wafted out, and everyone around the square smelled this enchanting scent.


    ¡°Is it done already?¡± Everyone couldn¡¯t believe it.


    All of them craned their necks, wanting to see if the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had indeed been refined inside the Medicine Cauldron.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Lin Yuan once again leaped down from the presidential tform and walked towards the Medicine Cauldron in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Normally, with appraisers on site, there would be no need for Lin Yuan, the Medicine Hall Master of Divine Sword City, to appraise the result, but Lin Yuan wanted to do it himself.


    He approached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Medicine Cauldron with utmost nervousness and then looked inside the cauldron.


    He saw the mass of blue liquid lying inside the Medicine Cauldron.


    This mass of blue liquid was so vivid, so clear, that it did not contain a single impurity.


    It was like a blue elf..


    It was so serene that one would not bear to disturb it.


    Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his heart began to race, and his hands trembled with excitement.


    As the Medicine Cauldron Hall Master of Divine Sword City, and with decades of alchemy experience, how could he fail to discern the quality of the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid before him?


    Seeing Lin Yuan¡¯s excited demeanor, Liu An¡¯s heart rxed, thinking to himself, ¡°It seems the young master¡¯s production must undoubtedly be a premium-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.¡±


    Everyone saw Lin Yuan¡¯s excitement as he looked into the Medicine Cauldron, but as he remained silent for a long time, it made everyone extremely anxious.


    Peng Zhigang couldn¡¯t help but raise his voice and ask loudly, ¡°Hall Master Lin, how is it?¡±


    Lin Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the people, and tried to keep his tone from being too excited, ¡°It is a supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    ¡°What? Supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    As soon as Lin Yuan spoke, the whole ce erupted into chaos.


    Peng Zhigang was stunned, Li Wen was stunned, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Cheng Beibei, and others were all stunned.


    Wu Qi, Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, Chen Changqing, and others were likewise stunned.


    Everyone from Ancient Sword Kingdom, including Gu Xi and all the alchemists, all the Sword Dao experts, and everyone who wasn¡¯t an alchemist or a Sword Dao expert, were all in shock.


    ¡°This is impossible!¡± Cheng Long shouted suddenly, as if his tail had been stepped on.


    He couldn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could produce a supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Many people also harbored doubts.


    After all, it was too hard to believe.


    Even Li Wen, Wu Qi, Feng Xing, and MO Lingkai, the four great alchemists, couldn¡¯t guarantee a one hundred percent sess rate in producing supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Lin Yuan nced at the agitated Cheng Long and poured the Foundation


    Building Spiritual Liquid from the Medicine Cauldron into the prepared Jade Dishware.


    As the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid dripped onto the Jade Dishware, it was like pearls falling onto a jade te, and a pleasing sound echoed in everyone¡¯s ears.


    The ball of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid under the sunlight was refracting glimmers of light.


    Seeing that incredibly clear ball of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid on the Jade Dishware, Cheng Long¡¯s face turned ashen.


    Now, no one harbored any doubts.


    Still, the crowd could not hide the shock in their hearts.


    Everyone was aware of how difficult it was to produce a supreme-grade quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid; even Li Wen, the Grand Medicine Hall Master, would struggle to produce it, and it might even require entering the Ethereal State to seed.


    But what about Yang Xiaotian?


    Yang Xiaotian had just casually produced a batch of supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    There was absolutely no need for him to enter any Ethereal State.


    Perhaps influenced by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sess, in the subsequent alchemy attempts, whether it was Cheng Long or Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and others, all performed below their usual standards. Cheng Long, even with the help of the Cold Spirit Bone Fire, only produced a mid-grade Spiritual Liquid.


    Chen Zihan barely achieved a mid-grade, while Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and others only managed a low-grade.


    The other alchemists produced many inferior grades, and quite a few even experienced outright failure.


    In the second round, naturally, Yang Xiaotian was first again.


    Next came the third round.


    The third round was a freestyle round.


    Whoever produced the highest-grade and best quality elixir would achieve the highest ranking.


    Hearing that the third round would allow for free creativity, Cheng Long¡¯s eyes revealed a mad fervor as he took out dozens of medicinal ingredients.


    Seeing Cheng Long pull out so many herbs, the crowd became unsettled.


    ¡°Could the Second Prince be nning to concoct an Innate Spirit Pill?¡± someone spected.


    ¡°Indeed, I intend to concoct a Dragon-Tiger Elixir!¡± Cheng Long dered. Turning his head towards Yang Xiaotian, he said firmly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I refuse to believe that you can also produce an Innate Spirit Pill.¡±


    Although he was notpletely confident of one hundred percent sess, he was going to give it his all.


    If he could seed in producing an Innate Spirit Pill, he would be able to surpass Yang Xiaotian by leaps and bounds and still have a chance to take first ce in this Pharmacist Competition.

    Chapter 90: Man Cauldron Unity


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hearing that Cheng Long was indeed going to refine the Innate Spirit Pill, the crowd was astounded.


    ¡°Since the Second Prince has taken Jiang Yu as his mentor, his alchemy has improved miraculously in the past six months, and with the Cold Spirit Bone


    Fire, it¡¯s quite possible he might actually seed in refining the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, ¡± Feng Xing said with a smile.


    Wu Qi said with a smile, ¡°Master Jiang Yu has spoken very highly of the Second Prince. With his attempt at the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, there¡¯s still a chance for sess.¡±


    Clearly, both of them believed that Cheng Long could refine the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Given the choice between Yang Xiaotian and Cheng Long, they naturally hoped that Cheng Long would win.


    Jiang Yu had given them guidance, and they were currently serving the royal family of Divine Sea Country.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cheng Long did not say another word and summoned the pale-colored Cold Spirit Bone Fire.


    Seeing Cheng Long intended to refine the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, Chen Zihan gritted her teeth and also took out several dozen types of medicinal herbs required for the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    The crowd was taken aback at the sight.


    Seeing this, Li Wen smiled; this girl still hadn¡¯t changed, always liking to show off her strength and never epting defeat.


    Following Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, Huang Tingting, and others also took out the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Dragon-Tiger Elixir. Rather than admitting defeat, they preferred to take a gamble.


    Taking a gamble still held a hope for victory.


    Of course, they were not willing to lose to Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing that Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, and others all wanted to refine the Innate Spirit Pill, Yang Xiaotian also took out the medicinal herbs for the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Originally, the fact that Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, and the others were going to refine the Innate Spirit Pill was a surprise in itself. Now, the crowd was dumbfounded to see that Yang Xiaotian also intended to refine the Innate Spirit Pill.


    What kind of situation was this?


    A group of one-star Alchemists were actually all going to refine Innate Spirit Pills.


    ¡°The calves are not afraid of the tigers,¡± Peng Zhigang sighed from the judges¡¯ stand.


    After Yang Xiaotian took out the medicinal herbs for the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, he waved his hands, and the Heaven and Earth Fire surged forth.


    Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and the others still harbored a stroke of luck, didn¡¯t they? Now, he was about topletely crush thatst bit of hope in their hearts.


    Looking at the approaching Heaven and Earth Fire, Yang Xiaotian flicked his finger, and a spark flew out, hitting one of the medicinal herbs on the ground with impable uracy.


    As the medicinal herb took flight, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t stop; his fingers kept flicking.


    Several more sparks flew out in session.


    These sparks flew in a straight line, hitting the airborne medicinal herb.


    With each strike from the sparks, the medicinal herb continued to melt.


    But that was not all; Yang Xiaotian flicked his fingers again, this time two at a time, and suddenly, more than a dozen sparks flew out.


    The medicinal herb kept being struck, bursting into splendid sparks.


    The crowd looked at each other, puzzled.


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡± Wu Qi asked in amazement, unable to help but look towards Li Wen.


    Li Wen was just as bewildered.


    He had never seen this method of refining medicine before.


    It didn¡¯t require the use of a Medicine Cauldron to melt the medicinal herbs.


    However, every time Yang Xiaotian flicked a spark, it hit its target with extraordinary precision, and the intensity of each spark he controlled was just right, not burning the herb to ash.


    At first nce, it didn¡¯t seem like much, but upon closer inspection, it was breathtaking.


    By the time the airborne medicinal herb fell into the Medicine Cauldron, it had beenpletely melted into a liquid by the seeding sparks flicked out by Yang Xiaotian.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian used the same method to melt the second herb.


    After that came the third, the fourth, the fifth.


    Before anyone realized it, the dozens of medicinal herbs had all melted into liquid.


    Yang Xiaotian pped his hands, and dozens of sparks hit the Medicine Cauldron all at once, causing it to spin.


    As it spun, wisps of medicinal smoke drifted out.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palms did not stop moving, each p resulting in dozens of fire stars bombarding the Medicine Cauldron.


    Dozens of fire stars, like a meteor shower from afar, were pleasing to the eye. When they struck the Medicine Cauldron, the fire sshed about in a burst of spectacr color.


    From within the Medicine Cauldron, wisps of medicinal smoke continued to float out.


    This novel method of alchemy broadened everyone¡¯s horizons.


    In Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, alchemy seemed no longer an arduous task, but an art, a ¡°performance¡±? Yet it was precisely this type of performance that shook one¡¯s soul.


    Liu An was one of the top Alchemists in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, but this was also his first time witnessing such alchemy technique.


    He looked questioningly at his master, only to find his master staring intently at Yang Xiaotian without blinking.


    Indeed, Wu Qi was concentrating on every move Yang Xiaotian made, finding each action natural and perfect.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there as if he had fused with Heaven and Earth, with the Medicine Cauldron, and with the Heaven and Earth Fire as one.


    In sword cultivation, there is the unity of man and sword, and in alchemy, there is also the unity of man and cauldron.


    In Wu Qi¡¯s eyes, Yang Xiaotian had achieved Man Cauldron Unity.


    Once Man Cauldron Unity was achieved, the method of alchemy was no longer that important.


    Wu Qipletely disregarded everything else, his eyes fixed solely on Yang Xiaotian.


    Time seemed to slow down.


    But when Yang Xiaotian suddenly stopped, Wu Qi felt a sense of loss.


    His look towards Yang Xiaotian hadpletely changed.


    Previously, even if Yang Xiaotian had tamed the me of Star, he did not win his true approval, and even knowing that Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the Hundred Swords and be the Sword Hall Master, he was only amazed and not fully convinced.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s position in his heart hadpletely changed.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian, fists clenched tightly. At this moment, he made a decision that he would be grateful for the rest of his life.


    After Yang Xiaotian stopped, the crowd around was still deeply immersed in the alchemy scene they had just witnessed, especially Li Wen, Wu Qi, and others who still had the images and motions of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy ying repeatedly in their minds.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian perform alchemy had sparked an epiphany in them.


    An epiphany that could break through their shackles.


    Only when Yang Xiaotian spoke and asked the Appraiser to appraise the Elixir, did Li Wen and others wake from that indescribable state of mind.


    This time, it was Lin Yuan who personally appraised Yang Xiaotian¡¯s work again.


    Lin Yuan approached the Medicine Cauldron, nervous and uneasy.


    When he peered into the cauldron, he saw a crystal-clear Elixir lying quietly inside, with what seemed like the sound of dragons and tigers roaring from within it.


    Faint shadows of dragons and tigers were visible.


    Lin Yuan¡¯s hands trembled as he inverted the Elixir from the cauldron onto the prepared Jade Dishware under everyone¡¯s gaze. Thump!


    The Jade Dishware emitted a crisp, moving sound.


    Li Wen, Wu Qi, Feng Xing, Peng Zhigang, and others gasped as soon as they saw the Elixir.


    ¡°Excellent, the Dragon-Tiger Elixir!¡±


    Superior grade was often unattainable.


    Excellent grade was almost the highest quality avable on the market.


    The moment Lin Yuan poured out the excellent grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and others felt utter despair, theirst shreds of hope obliterated.


    Their faces turnedpletely ashen. All was silent in Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    Suddenly, the teachers and students of the Divine Sword Academy cried out together, their excitement resembling how they felt when Yang Xiaotian had fullyprehended the Hundred Swords..

 Chapter 91: How Many More Secrets Does Yang Xiaotian Have?

    Chapter 91: How Many More Secrets Does Yang Xiaotian Have?


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    Prince Gu Xi of Ancient Sword Kingdom also shouted, his face showing extreme excitement.


    Twin Super Martial Spirits,prehending the Hundred Swords, bing the Sword Hall Master of Divine Sword Academy after hundreds of years, and now, even refining a superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir!


    How could he not be fervently worshipful of such a Yang Xiaotian?


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    The swordsmanship experts of Ancient Sword Kingdom and all the pharmacists joined in the frenzied shouting.


    At the scene, one sect after another, one family disciple after another, were all shouting excitedly.


    Even Lin Yong and Chen Yuan couldn¡¯t help but shout excitedly.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian in the arena, they felt proud amidst their excitement.


    Proud to be the Dean and Vice-Dean of Divine Sword Academy, proud because Yang Xiaotian was the master of their academy¡¯s Sword Hall.


    And even more proud for having brought Yang Xiaotian into their academy.


    Cheng Beibei was once again surrounded by the cheers for Divine Yang, standing there, staring intently at the superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir, mumbling to herself, lost in words.


    Yang Xiaotian, feeling the feverish excitement around him, listening to the exuberant cheers of the crowd, couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit helpless. Thankfully, he had deliberately lowered the quality of the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, refining only a superior one, not a top-quality one.


    If he had produced a top-quality elixir, who knows what might have happened.


    If a top-quality one was refined, given the current fervor of everyone, they might have rushed up and squashed him into a pancake.


    The Pharmacistpetition was not over yet.


    However, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and others simply could not focus on alchemy. Frequent mistakes in the process meant that in the end, no one was able to sessfully refine the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Even Cheng Long, who possessed the Cold Spirit Bone Fire, only managed to refine an inferior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    Inferior, simply not up to standard.


    Looking at the ck, utterly fragranceless Dragon-Tiger Elixir in front of him, Cheng Long felt so ashamed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.


    His Dragon-Tiger Elixir,pared to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s, was so vastly inferior it could easily be mistaken for an entirely different kind of elixir.


    In the end, the first ce of the Pharmacistpetition, without any doubt, naturally went to Yang Xiaotian.


    Li Wen handed over the first ce prize of the Pharmacistpetition to Yang Xiaotian. Looking at Yang Xiaotian in front of him, he felt gratified and filled with emotion. He smiled and said, ¡°In no time at all, Friend Yang will surely be famous throughout the Azure God Continent.¡±


    Now, the continent where Yang Xiaotian was located was called the Azure God Continent.


    The continent was vast and boundless, with dozens of empires. Beneath the empires were countless kingdoms and royal countries, sects, and families. ¡®Grand Hall Master Li, you tter me too much,¡± Yang Xiaotian said politely as he epted the reward.


    The rewards for the first ce of this Pharmacistpetition were quite generous, including a top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir, a form to refine Innate Spirit Pills, a top-grade cauldron furnace at the level of a superior spiritual weapon, and ten low-grade spirit stones.


    However, looking at these items, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but shake his head internally.


    To others, these items might be valuable, but to him, they were not very useful.


    He was currently consuming only top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    As for the cauldron furnace, he was perfectly capable of refining one himself, and it would be of the supreme spiritual weapon grade.


    The only things useful to him were those ten low-grade spirit stones.


    Spirit stone, a stone that condenses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can be used directly for cultivation, and is also one of the important currenciesmonly used by many businesses.


    One low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for ten thousand gold coins.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully stored away the ten low-grade spirit stones along with the elixirs, form, and cauldron furnace.


    ¡°Friend Yang, you should alsoe to the Royal City soon and enter the pharmacological pool for cultivation,¡± Li Wen reminded, fearing that Yang Xiaotian might forget.


    To cultivate in the pharmacological pool for ten days was, in fact, the most important reward for winning first ce in the Pharmacistpetition.


    However, the medicine pool was located in the Grand Pharmacist Hall, so Yang Xiaotian had to go to the King¡¯s Royal City of the Divine Sea Country first.


    ¡°In a few days,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, hesitating slightly.


    To be honest, he was still very busy.


    He needed to master the Hundred Swords Techniquepletely, peruse through the swordsmanship manuals, Divine Skills, and insights into the Sword Heart left by Cao Shun, and also train the thousand ves under him.


    He also had to go to the Red Moon Forest to subdue a Mount Beast.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian say he would enter the medicine pool for cultivation in a few days, Li Wen couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. If others had won the first ce, they would have been eager to enter the medicine pool right now, but Yang Xiaotian wanted to wait a few days.


    ¡°These two months are when the medicine pool¡¯s power is at its most potent. I kindly ask Friend Yang to cultivate in the medicine pool within these two months; otherwise, the effect will be significantly reduced,¡± Li Wen said.


    Two months, huh?


    After hearing this, Yang Xiaotian nodded in agreement.


    Then, under everyone¡¯s various gazes, Yang Xiaotian led the people from Divine Sword Academy away from the scene.


    Even though thepetition had ended, the several thousand teachers and students of Divine Sword Academy who followed Yang Xiaotian were still brimming with high spirits, each puffing out their chests proudly.


    Even those following Yang Xiaotian like Luo Qing and Liao Kun were all puffing out their chests proudly.


    For Ate and Ali, their excitement was evident as their faces were flush with red.


    Cheng Long looked at Yang Xiaotian, who was leaving surrounded by hordes of Divine Sword Academy teachers and students, and his eyes were filled withplex emotions.


    Yang Xiaotian could now refine superior quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, and without any unforeseen circumstances, within four to five years, he would be able to produce top-notch Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    Hard as it was to believe, considering the terrifying alchemy talent Yang Xiaotian had showcased today, he would definitely be able to refine top-notch Dragon-Tiger Elixirs within four to five years.


    A pharmacist who could refine top-notch Dragon-Tiger Elixirs would be a coveted asset for various countries.


    Currently, Yang Xiaotian was a hotmodity.


    No, a super hotmodity.


    Hu Xing¡¯s expression was extremely unsightly.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy talent unexpectedly rivaled his own Sword Dao talent, something he had not anticipated at all.


    He had always prided himself as the number one in Divine Sword Academy, whether it was his Sword Dao Talent or alchemy talent. However, everything changed after Yang Xiaotian appeared.


    In today¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, he was utterly humiliated by Yang Xiaotian.


    His former position as number one in the academy was just chicken droppings in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Murderous intent surged wildly in his heart.


    From today on, he must find a way to kill Yang Xiaotian at all costs.


    Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the one dying would be him.


    He had once sent Deng Yi to kill Yang Xiaotian, and Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t let him off the hook.


    In the crowd, Yang Zhong watched his cousin Yang Xiaotian, feeling a mix of emotions. He always had the sense that Yang Xiaotian gave off an unreal vibe.


    A few months ago, his cousin¡¯s Martial Soul that was awakened was the second-level Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, which was ridiculed by everyone. How could it be that just a few monthster, the world suddenly changed?


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence.


    Originally, the teachers and students of Divine Sword Academy were unwilling


    to leave and stayed around. It was only after Yang Xiaotian persuaded them earnestly that they finally returned to Divine Sword Academy.


    Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and Chen Changqing hadn¡¯t left, and Yang Xiaotian showed them around his own mansion.


    After touring Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mansion, which was evenrger than the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were greatly surprised.


    They knew that Yang Xiaotian lived outside the academy, but this was the first time they knew that he lived in such a grand mansion.


    Suddenly, they realized how little they knew about Yang Xiaotian. What other secrets did their Hall Master of Sword Hall have that they were unaware of?

 Chapter 92: Second of the Top Ten Alchemy Techniques

    Chapter 92: Second of the Top Ten Alchemy Techniques


    Trantor: 549690339


    After visiting Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mansion, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan sat for a while before saying their goodbyes and leaving.


    After all, there were still many affairs at the Academy that needed their attention, and they couldn¡¯t just linger at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ce indefinitely.


    When Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were about to leave, Yang Xiaotian handed over the top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir, the premium Medicine Cauldron, and the recipe for the Innate Spirit Pill ¨C all rewards from thepetition ¨C to Lin


    Yong.


    He instructed them to bring these items back to the Academy.


    He had been examining the Secret Tomes in the Academy Repository these past days; it wouldn¡¯t be right to benefit without giving something in return.


    Moreover, now that he was the Master of the Sword Hall, it was necessary to strengthen the Academy¡¯s capabilities.


    As for how Lin Yong would arrange the use of these items, that was Lin Yong¡¯s matter to decide.


    When Lin Yong and Chen Yuan saw that Yang Xiaotian had returned almost all of the first-ce rewards to the Academy, they couldn¡¯t help but refuse, but Lin Yong said, ¡°These items were hard won by the Hall Master, and moreover, the Hall Master has use for them as well. The Academy cannot ept them.¡±


    But Yang Xiaotian waved his hand with a smile and said, ¡°I still have more top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, and as for the Medicine Cauldron, I have a superior one. This alchemy recipe is also in my possession, these things are useless to me.¡±


    After giving it some thought, he then took out twenty portions of the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and handed them to Lin Yong, saying, ¡°These top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids were refined by me during my spare time; Dean Lin canter award them to students who have made contributions to the Academy.¡±


    Looking at the twenty portions of the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid before them, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan didn¡¯t know what to say. After all, when the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild auctioned off fourteen portions of the top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in Xingyue City, they had struggled to participate in the bidding against various powers and had only managed to obtain four portions with great difficulty.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian directly gave them twenty portions.


    ¡°On behalf of the students at the Academy, I thank the Hall Master,¡± Lin Yong expressed with a grateful face.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°If you ever find yourselves short of these top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids, you can let me know.¡±


    His ves had already broken through to the Innate level, and these top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids were no longer necessary for them.


    Next year, he was set to enter the Tiandou Academy in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    This year, he was ready to help the Divine Sword Academy as much as possible.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were at a loss for words, but in the end, they thanked Yang Xiaotian once more.


    Carrying the items given by Yang Xiaotian, they returned to the Divine Sword Academy.


    Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and several others did not leave Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mansion untilte into the night, eventually returning to the Sword Hall.


    After Chen Changqing and the others had left, Wu Qi arrived at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard with his five disciples, and suddenly bowed deeply to Yang Xiaotian, saying, ¡°Wu Qi and his disciples vow to follow the young master forever!¡± ¡°Willing to serve before and after your steed, young master!¡±


    Liu An and the other four also bowed deeply, ¡®Willing to serve before and after your steed, young master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Wu Qi, Liu An, and the others, bowing deeply before him; he knew that from this moment on, these six truly submitted to him.


    Previously, even though Wu Qi, Liu An, and the others said they were willing to concoct elixirs for him for ten years, they weren¡¯t truly convinced in their hearts and mouths.


    He reached out to help Wu Qi and the others stand, then took out six elixirs, told them that they were Control Elixirs, and had Wu Qi and his group swallow them.


    Even though Wu Qi and his group stated they were willing to serve him wholeheartedly, what he needed was their absolute loyalty.


    No one could guarantee that once Wu Qi and his group learned he possessed the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, they wouldn¡¯t harbour other intentions.


    After all, it was one of the top ten Divine Swords.


    Looking into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s clear eyes, Wu Qi hesitated for a moment, but eventually swallowed the elixir.


    Liu An and the others looked at each other, with some hesitation, but in the end, they too swallowed the elixirs.


    Seeing that the six had ingested the elixirs, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I am preparing to concoct elixirs now; you all stay and watch.¡±


    Although Wu Qi and his disciples were puzzled, they agreed.


    Yang Xiaotian took out a Medicine Cauldron and the herbs necessary for concocting the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Wu Qi and the others had originally thought Yang Xiaotian was going to concoct the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, but seeing that he took out nearly a hundred different herbs, they were greatly surprised.


    ¡°Is the young master going to concoct the Four Symbols Spirit Pill?¡± Wu Qi asked in amazement.


    Yang Xiaotian grunted, and with a wave of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Fire surged forth wildly.


    During today¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, he had striven to suppress his Soul Power, only drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Fire within a fifty-meter radius, but now, he didn¡¯t need to suppress it any longer, as he fully unleashed


    his Soul Power.


    Witnessing a disy of Heaven and Earth Fire even more terrifying and violent than what had been seen at the Pharmacist Competition, Wu Qi, Liu An, and the other four¡¯s faces underwent a drastic change in color.


    ¡°This!¡± Liu An stuttered, turning to look at his master Wu Qi.


    Such terrifying and violent Heaven and Earth Fire, even his master probably couldn¡¯t control it.


    Wu Qi was equally shocked.


    Originally, during today¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, the Heaven and Earth Fire driven by Yang Xiaotian was enough to astonish him, but to think Yang


    Xiaotian had actually been suppressing his Soul Power, and so much of it.


    He had read in ancient texts about the exploits of Divine Level Pharmacists.


    Many Divine Level Pharmacists were born with extremely powerful Soul Power.


    However, even those Divine Level Pharmacists who were born with such powerful Soul Power were still far inferior whenpared to their young masters.


    Yang Xiaotian, unrestrained, drove the Heaven and Earth Fire, his hands waving, and those mes transformed into a mysterious pattern of fire which then enveloped all the medicinal ingredients.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s control, the pattern of fire slowly rotated, and all the medicinal ingredients on the ground were gently drawn upwards.


    As the pattern of fire rotated, streams of fire light flowed out from within the pattern.


    These streams of fire light weaved through all the medicinal ingredients. Due to the temperature of the fire light, one medicinal ingredient after another began to melt.


    Upon witnessing this scene, the onlookers were profoundly shaken.


    In today¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy skills were already miraculous, but this scene before them was beyond miraculous.


    Wu Qi¡¯s tongue turned stiff: ¡°Medicine Array!¡±


    What Yang Xiaotian was using now was the Medicine Array, one of the top ten alchemy techniques.


    The Medicine Array was ranked second among the top ten alchemy techniques.


    But it was many times more difficult than Gale Torrential Rain.


    The Heaven and Earth Fire was extremely difficult to control, and to construct a Formation Map for alchemy with it was an even greater challenge. Even if one managed to construct it, driving the alchemical Formation Map was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    Because the alchemical Formation Map was extremely unstable, if not handled with utmost care while being driven, it would easily scatter explosively.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian managed the fire pattern with ease, showing no sign of strain.


    Under the continuous refinement of the fire pattern, nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal ingredients melted one after another, then orderly dripped into the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian withdrew the fire pattern, and suddenly, his body surged with fire light, and nine golden Phoenixes emerged.


    ¡°Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡± Upon seeing the golden Phoenixes fly out of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, Liu An and the others eximed in shock.


    Their young master had actually tamed the Nine Phoenixes Golden me. The Nine Phoenixes Golden me coiled around the Medicine Cauldron as it moved.


    Soon, from within the Medicine Cauldron, the fragrance of the Elixir filled the air, and dazzling lights spilled forth.


    Apanied by a ¡°hum¡± sound, a Spirit Pill flew out.


    Around the Spirit Pill, the faint images of four Divine Beasts could be seen.


    ¡°A top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill!¡± The onlookers were stunned.


    So, the top-quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir had indeed been refined by their young master.


    Upon seeing that the Elixir wasplete, Yang Xiaotian retracted the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    He had Wu Qi, Liu An, and the others stay to watch him perform alchemy, not only topletely subdue them but also to help them improve their alchemy techniques, as the number of Elixirs his residence consumed every month was astonishing. In the future, he would undoubtedly need them to help share the burden..

 Chapter 93 - 93 Jiang Yu Arrives

    Chapter 93: Jiang Yu Arrives


    Trantor: 549690339


    In the next two days, Yang Xiaotian spent his days mainly practicing


    Heaven-Prating Sword Technique and Hundred Swords Technique.


    asionally he would practice alchemy.


    While practicing alchemy, he allowed Wu Qi, Liu An, Ate, Ali, Luo Qing, and others to watch by his side.


    As the leader of a sect, Luo Qing¡¯s alchemy level was quite good, and he also possessed the Abnormal Fire ck Wind me.


    Yang Xiaotian exined the key aspects of the techniques to Wu Qi and the others while he practiced alchemy.


    At night, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul and ck Dragon Martial Spirit devoured the spiritual energy from the Nine Heavens above him.


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul had grownrger.


    The ck Dragon Martial Spirit had also grown significantlyrger, coiling above in the sky with its dragon might striking awe.


    With the operation of the Primordial Dragon Art, twenty-eight True Qi Dragons wound around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Although these days Yang Xiaotian focused mainly on solidifying his foundation and was no longer in a rush to breakthrough, he still managed to advance steadily to the Innate Ninth Layer.


    He had already condensed twenty-eight True Qi Dragons.


    Now, even Yang Xiaotian himself wasn¡¯t very clear on just how strong he was.


    The following day.


    The sunlight was brilliant.


    Yang Xiaotian gathered Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other five.


    ¡°The young master wants us to strike together?¡± Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other five were astonished.


    ¡°You guys go ahead and give it your allter, don¡¯t hold back,¡± said Yang


    Xiaotian.


    He wanted to see just how strong he was now.


    When he was at the peak of Innate Fifth Layer, he had already been able to kill Deng Yi, who was at the Innate Tenth Layer.


    Now, he should be able to take care of someone at the Martial King Second or even Third Layer, right?


    ¡°Young master, this¡­¡± Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other five hesitated.


    Clearly, the five of them were worried about injuring Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing their hesitation, Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t injure me.¡± He then suddenly shed forward, appearing in front of Liao Kun and unleashed a punch.


    ¡°Nine Extremes Crush!¡±


    With a single punch from Yang Xiaotian, nine punch imprints thundered out.


    The nine punch imprints chained together.


    Liao Kun, feeling the terrifying power in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch, drastically changed his expression and raised his fist to counter.


    Bang!


    As their punches collided, a huge booming sound that was deafening erupted.


    Liao Kun only felt a pain in his arm, being forced to retreat repeatedly, all the way back for more than ten meters.


    Where Liao Kun stepped back, a row of deep footprints was left behind, with the ground around the footprints cracked open in a tortoise-shell pattern.


    Not only was Liao Kun shocked, but Zhang Jingrong and the other four were also taken aback.


    Although they had seen Yang Xiaotian practice alchemy, they had always been somewhat unclear about his strength. Seeing Liao Kun, who was at the Martial King Third Layer, being knocked back by Yang Xiaotian, they couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.


    Especially Liao Kun himself. In his mind, while their young master¡¯s strength might be decent, at most it was better than Ate and Ali by a bit.


    But now, it was beyond just being a bit stronger.


    ¡°The five of you shoulde at me together,¡± said Yang Xiaotian after the punch, having gained a rough understanding of his own strength.


    Just now he had used ny percent of his power.


    And the technique he used was the ordinary Innate Martial Arts move, Nine Extremes Crush.


    Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong exchange nces with the other three and nod.


    ¡®Young Master, we¡¯re making our move,¡± said Liao Kun without further ado, like a proud dragon, he threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian.


    Zhang Jingrong and the other three employed sword techniques.


    Their sword techniques were like rain, like the wind, like thunder, like sunlight.


    All four had different sword techniques.


    Confronted with the attack of Liao Kun and the five from Zhang Jingrong, Yang Xiaotian did not use his sword, but his figure flickered, his fist colliding with Liao Kun¡¯s. Then, his body floated like a weeping willow.


    Zhang Jingrong and the other three lunged their swords toward Yang Xiaotian from four directions, sealing off all escape routes.


    However, as Yang Xiaotian moved, he astonishingly created five afterimages, dodging each of the attacks from Zhang Jingrong¡¯s group.


    What Zhang Jingrong and the others struck were nothing but Yang Xiaotian¡¯s afterimages.


    After evading the swords of Zhang Jingrong¡¯s four, Yang Xiaotian used his fingers like a sword, releasing a strike, and five streams of Sword Qi simultaneously hit Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong¡¯s group.


    The exchange between them was incredibly swift. Amidst the hustle of the Martial Arts Arena, in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of moves.


    Throughout those moves, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attacks were always different, sometimes using the Dragon Blood Fist, sometimes the Cold Underworld Palm, other times the Spirit Snake Sword Technique, and sometimes the Earth Sword.


    Liao Kun and the five from Zhang Jingrong, all in the Martial King Realm, put forth every trick they knew, but their attacks were all effortlessly evaded by Yang Xiaotian.


    Yet every casual strike from Yang Xiaotian forced the five of them to retreat again and again.


    It did not take long before the five were struggling under the pressure from


    Yang Xiaotian.


    Liao Kun and the five from Zhang Jingrong found the battle increasingly strenuous.


    While Yang Xiaotian remained at ease throughout.


    After a hundred moves, Liao Kun and the five from Zhang Jingrong were ultimately sent flying by Yang Xiaotian.


    As Yang Xiaotian sparred with Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong¡¯s group, in a luxurious estate within Divine Sword City, Cheng Long was standing respectfully in front of a middle-aged man.


    That man was his master, Jiang Yu.


    He was also one of the legendary pharmacists of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Of course, he was also a ruler that held sway over part of the kingdom.


    ¡°Oh? This Yang Xiaotian knows the Gale Torrential Rain, one of the top ten alchemy techniques?¡± Jiang Yu was shocked.


    He had believed that his disciple Cheng Long would surely win first ce in the Divine Sea Country¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, only to be surprised when arriving in Divine Sword City today to learn that it was Yang Xiaotian from Divine Sword Academy who had won first ce.


    Furthermore, this Yang Xiaotian actually knew the Gale Torrential Rain technique.


    Cheng Long said, ¡°Master, the Gale Torrential Rain technique is incredibly magical. When Yang Xiaotian used it, nearly two hundred medicinal ingredients were swept up by the gale, then sorted by the depth of their color, each ced at different levels within the gale.¡±


    ¡°After that, Yang Xiaotian quickly flicked his fingers. In just a few breaths, he had selected all fourteen ingredients for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.¡±


    As he spoke, he nced at Jiang Yu and then said, ¡®With Master¡¯s alchemy level, if you could acquire the Gale Torrential Rain technique, you would undoubtedly be the leading figure in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s circle of pharmacists.¡±


    ¡°Then, if Master wished to take the position of Grand Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall, it would be as easy as flipping your hand.¡±


    Cheng Long¡¯s voice was full of temptation.


    Jiang Yu¡¯s eyes zed with passion.


    As a pharmacist, it was natural to be moved by one of the top ten alchemy techniques like Gale Torrential Rain.


    ¡°Where is Yang Xiaotian staying now?¡± Jiang Yu asked Cheng Long.


    When Cheng Long heard his master asking, he was secretly pleased and quickly replied, ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence is in Divine Sword City. He almost always stays at his estate and seldom returns to Divine Sword Academy.¡± Then, looking up at the sky, he added, ¡°Right now, he should be at his estate.¡±


    Cheng Long got up, saying, ¡°Master, let me take you there.¡±


    ¡°No need,¡± Jiang Yu waved his hand, ¡°Just have someone lead me.¡±


    Hearing this, Cheng Longplied and found a shrewd subordinate to lead Jiang Yu there.


    ¡°Master, Yang Xiaotian probably has many experts around him; it¡¯s possible that Chen Changqing and his group are there. Should I send more people to apany you?¡± Cheng Long said.


    Jiang Yu, however, replied with indifference, ¡°While Chen Changqing and his group are not weak, they are no more than chickens and dogs in my eyes. No need to mobilize a crowd; I am more than enough by myself..¡±

 Chapter 94: Martial Emperor Soul Ring

    Chapter 94: Martial Emperor Soul Ring


    Trantor: 549690339


    Cheng Long watched as Jiang Yu¡¯s figure disappeared at the end of the street and sneered, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this time, I¡¯ll see how you don¡¯t die!¡±


    Given his master¡¯s temperament, after forcing out the secrets of the Gale Torrential Rain technique from Yang Xiaotian, he would surely kill Yang Xiaotian.


    Under Cheng Long¡¯s guidance, Jiang Yu arrived at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    Looking at the courtyard walls of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence that stretched to the end of the street, Jiang Yu was surprised, clearly not expecting Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence to be sorge.


    ¡°This kid seems quite wealthy,¡± Jiang Yu said coldly, then he instructed Cheng Long¡¯s subordinate, ¡°Wait for me outside the residence.¡±


    After speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the main gate of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    He was always a reasonable person who preferred to use persuasion before force.


    If Yang Xiaotian knew what was good for him, it would be a happy oue for both parties.


    If Yang Xiaotian did not know what was good for him, then he shouldn¡¯t me Jiang Yu for taking up arms.


    After Jiang Yu knocked on the gate, a servant quickly opened it.


    ¡°I am Jiang Yu, the legendary pharmacist from Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, here to see Yang Xiaotian. Go inside and report.¡±


    The servant eyed Jiang Yu skeptically.


    Ever since the Pharmacist Competition where Yang Xiaotian took first ce, many visitors hade to see him in the past two days, with quite a few iming to be legendary pharmacists.


    He asked Jiang Yu to wait a moment, then went inside to report.


    At that time, Yang Xiaotian was in the courtyard preparing medicine. Wu Qi and Liu An were watching by the side. When they heard the report from their subordinate, Yang Xiaotian paused, ¡°Jiang Yu?¡±


    After a moment¡¯s contemtion, he instructed his subordinate to bring Jiang Yu in.


    When Jiang Yu saw that the servant returned but Yang Xiaotian did not appear himself, his face darkened.


    Given his esteemed status, even when visiting the Royal Pce of the Divine Sea Country, the King of Divine Sea woulde out to greet him, yet Yang Xiaotian dared to keep him waiting.


    Jiang Yu followed the servant into the residence.


    Inside, one could see troops of Innate Realm ves practicing martial arts up and down the road.


    There were even many ves learning alchemy, and they were already showing promising signs.


    Jiang Yu was astonished; given time, these people could be very useful. He hadn¡¯t expected that Yang Xiaotian, at such a young age, had already been secretly training so many people.


    Seeing that the servant was leading him to the back courtyard, Jiang Yu asked,


    ¡°Is your master not in the main hall?¡±


    ¡°The young master is in the back courtyard preparing medicine,¡± the servant replied.


    When Jiang Yu arrived at the back courtyard, he saw the Heaven and Earth Fire being controlled by Yang Xiaotian, transforming into a swirling wind that swept up all the ingredients for the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Following that, the Heaven and Earth Fire began to rotate rhythmically.


    With each rotation, one of the ingredients was melted by the mes of the Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Watching this miraculous scene, Jiang Yu was so captivated that for a moment, he forgot the purpose of his visit.


    Soon, nearly a hundred medicinal herbs were melted, and they fell into the Medicine Cauldron like raindrops.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian stop, Jiang Yu came back to his senses.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian before him, he suddenly felt a desire to mentor him.


    ¡°So you are the esteemed Jiang Yu from the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom? May I ask what brings you here today?¡± Yang Xiaotian greeted him with a salute.


    Jiang Yu looked at Yang Xiaotian and skipped the pleasantries, ¡°Indeed, I am Jiang Yu. Yang Xiaotian, would you like to take me as your mentor?¡± Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    Wu Qi and Liu An who were watching Yang Xiaotian prepare medicine all looked over.


    ¡°Thank you for your generous offer, Senior Jiang,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I presently do not need to study alchemy under anyone.¡±


    With his current level of Alchemy, not to mention Jiang Yu not being able to teach him, many legendary pharmacists from the Divine Dragon Empire wouldn¡¯t be able to teach him either.


    What hecked now was just the improvement of his own strength and realm.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s refusal, Jiang Yu shook his head and said, ¡°It seems you have no choice.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Are you saying, Elder Jiang, that you intend to use force?¡±


    Jiang Yu saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s smile, responded with a cold one, and approached him, ¡°That¡¯s right, Yang Xiaotian. Today, you either be my disciple and tell me the Gale Torrential Rain, or after suffering torture, you will still tell me Gale Torrential Rain.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Jiang Yu, who bore a murderous face, and yet smiled, ¡°It seems that today I have no choice but to tell you the Gale Torrential Rain.¡±


    Jiang Yu, seeing that Yang Xiaotian was still confident, scoffed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think that because you are the Sword Hall Master of Divine Sword Academy, I wouldn¡¯t dare to act against you?¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, in my eyes, Divine Sword Academy means nothing. As for


    Chen Changqing and the other four, they are nothing but chickens and dogs.¡±


    ¡°Killing you would take but a single sword strike.¡±


    ¡°Your life and death are but a thought away from me.¡±


    As he spoke, Jiang Yu suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and vast True Yuan roared out from within him. Behind him, a gigantic halo unexpectedly appeared !


    This halo, exuding an astonishing oppressive force, enveloped the entire courtyard.


    Under the influence of the halo¡¯s oppression, even the air flow in the courtyard seemed toe to a standstill.


    Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Ate, Ali and the others who had been watching Yang Xiaotian practice alchemy all changed expression.


    ¡°Soul Ring!¡±


    ¡°Martial Emperor!¡±


    Once one breaks through to the Martial Emperor realm, the Martial Soul can absorb the soul of a Soul Beast, creating a Soul Ring, greatly enhancing the ability of the Martial Soul.


    Therefore, possessing a Soul Ring is a characteristic of a strong Martial Emperor realm warrior.


    Before their eyes, the massive halo behind Jiang Yu was precisely a Soul Ring.


    Luo Qing and the others had not expected Jiang Yu to be a Martial Emperor realm powerhouse.


    ¡°Indeed, Martial Emperor,¡± Jiang Yu said with contempt as he looked at Yang Xiaotian, Luo Qing, and the others. Then, he suddenly reached out with a palm towards Yang Xiaotian: ¡°No matter how good your talent is, in my eyes, you are but an ant right now.¡±


    ¡°Come here, kneel down!¡±


    An astonishing swallowing force engulfed Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to be pulled in by Jiang Yu, suddenly, an astonishing force roared out from behind Yang Xiaotian.


    In the face of this astonishing force, Jiang Yu¡¯s swallowing power was as ineffective as chickens and dogs, shattered to pieces.


    Feeling the terror of this astonishing force, Jiang Yu¡¯s face changed. He swiftly swung his long sword, and the sword light streaked across the sky.


    But even his powerful sword light waspletely destroyed by this astonishing force.


    This astonishing force, unstoppable, instantly reached in front of Jiang Yu, who raised his sword to block.


    Boom!


    He and his long sword were both sent flying, tumbling over to the doorway of the courtyard, crashing into a stone pier.


    The sudden turn of events stunned Luo Qing, Liao Kun and the others.


    Everyone turned their attention to Wu Qi, who stood behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Jiang Yu spat out blood, looking incredulously at Wu Qi, leaning on a wooden staff, his face full of wrinkles. This seemingly decrepit old man was actually a peerless powerhouse!


    ¡°Who are you, senior?¡± Jiang Yu asked, unable to hide the fear in his eyes.


    ¡°You little guy, your master is Wan Yi, right? I remember back in the day, your master brought you to my Witch Hall in search of a Spirit Pill,¡± Wu Qi said.


    Witch Hall, seeking pills!


    Jiang Yu trembled all over, turning pale with shock, recalling an event from decades ago.


    ¡°You, you are Elder Wu?!¡± Jiang Yu¡¯s eyes widened.


    Wu Qi¡¯s somewhat cloudy eyes looked at Jiang Yu, ¡°Remembering me is good,¡± he then said disdainfully, ¡°You, trying to take my young master as a disciple?¡±

 Chapter 95: Underestimating the Foundation of Divine Sword Academy

    Chapter 95: Underestimating the Foundation of Divine Sword Academy


    Trantor: 549690339


    Afterward, Wu Qi nced at the Soul Ring behind Jiang Yu and said, ¡°A


    Thousand-year Soul Ring, just trash.¡±


    The color of a Martial Soul¡¯s Soul Ring varies depending on the age of the Soul Beast it devours.


    If a ten-year Soul Beast is devoured, a white Ten-year Soul Ring will be produced.


    If a hundred-year Soul Beast is devoured, a yellow Hundred-year Soul Ring will be produced.


    The Soul Ring behind Jiang Yu, however, was a purple Thousand-year Soul Ring.


    The older the Soul Ring, the more the strength of the Martial Soul is elevated. Generally speaking, a Thousand -Year Soul Ring is quite good, but in Wu Qi¡¯s eyes, it is trash.


    Tiang Yu. hearing his own Thousand-year Soul Ring which he took Dride in being called trash by Wu Qi, had an ugly look on his face. Though he opened his mouth to speak, he ultimately didn¡¯t dare to say more.


    ¡°Young Master, how should we deal with this Jiang Yu?¡± Wu Qi turned his head and asked Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment and gave Wu Qi an elixir, instructing him to make Jiang Yu take it.


    Wu Qi took the elixir, walked over to Jiang Yu, and fed it to him.


    After swallowing the elixir, Jiang Yu felt something extra within his body and couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked and angry as he red at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°What did you give me to eat?¡±


    ¡°A Control Elixir,¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°If you don¡¯t get the antidoteter, you will die from bleeding from all your orifices, and your internal organs will rot and decay, causing extreme pain.¡±


    ¡°You!¡± Jiang Yu¡¯splexion drastically changed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think of concocting an antidote when the timees. This elixir was refined using a lost method only I know the form for,¡± Yang Xiaotian continued. ¡°If you recklessly consume detoxifying drugs, it might trigger the elixir¡¯s toxicity. At that point, not even I could save you.¡±


    ¡°Alright, you may leave now.¡±


    ¡°In half a year, bring a hundred premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills to exchange for the antidote.¡±


    ¡°Also, after you leave, it¡¯s best you keep your mouth shut about today¡¯s events.


    Otherwise, if I hear any rumors, you won¡¯t need toe for the antidote.¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, Jiang Yu¡¯s expression turned unsightly, blending anger and annoyance with fury.


    Half a year, to bring a hundred premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills in exchange?


    Where was he supposed to find so many premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills?


    Even as the legendary Alchemist of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, he would find it difficult to refine a hundred in half a year, even if he did it himself.


    Unless he worked day and night on the task, he might possibly aplish it.


    Yang Xiaotian was treating him like a beast of burden for Alchemy.


    At this time, Cheng Long was leisurely drinking tribute tea inside the mansion.


    As he was waiting for good news from his master, one of his men ran in, looking panicked. He was about to speak when he saw the iing Jiang Yu.


    Jiang Yu, who was always dressed in pristine white silk garments, now had them covered in bloodstains, his hair a disheveled mess, looking exceedingly wretched.


    Cheng Long was astonished, ¡°Master, are you alright?¡± Jiang Yu shook his hand without even bothering to speak.


    ¡°The Gale Torrential Rain?¡± Cheng Long hesitated before asking.


    Upon hearing Cheng Long mention Gale Torrential Rain, Jiang Yu¡¯s frustration and rage erupted like a volcano, and he pped Cheng Long across the face, sending him tumbling to the ground.


    ¡°Shut your mouth!¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, how could your master have ended up in such a state!¡± Jiang Yu pointed at Cheng Long angrily.


    In his view, if it weren¡¯t for Cheng Long, how could he have suffered such severe injuries? If it weren¡¯t for Cheng Long, how could he have been fed poison by Yang Xiaotian, treated like a beast of burden?


    The thought of having to hand over a hundred premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills after half a year was infuriating.


    Actually, aware of Cheng Long¡¯s ulterior motives, how could he not see that Cheng Long wanted to use him to get rid of Yang Xiaotian? Moreover, if he could obtain the Gale Torrential Rain technique, he might have the chance to learn it himself in the future.


    Cheng Long, looking at a furious Jiang Yu who seemed as though he wanted nothing more than to crush him, bowed his head silently, not daring to speak.


    ¡°I need to rest,¡± Jiang Yu ordered Cheng Long to leave.


    Cheng Long bowed and then withdrew.


    After leaving, Cheng Long touched the five-finger p mark on his face, a look of hatred and resentment coloring his features.


    However, inside he still couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked and puzzled. Who exactly had injured Jiang Yu? Was there someone even stronger than Chen Changqing and his fourpanions at Divine Sword Academy?


    Although the matter of Jiang Yu was secretive, word of it still managed to spread through the grapevine. Many who had thoughts of challenging Yang Xiaotian with a storm of aggressive moves were greatly shocked.


    The strength of Jiang Yu was more or less known to many forces.


    Those capable of injuring Jiang Yu were at least of the Martial Emperor realm.


    ¡°It seems that many of us have underestimated the depth of Divine Sword Academy,¡± mused Peng Zhigang in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. ¡°I had not expected that aside from Cao Shun, there exists another at the Emperor realm.¡±


    ¡°However, although this person was able to injure Jiang Yu, he was unable to kill him. This suggests his strength is likely at the first or second level of the Martial Emperor realm,¡± one of his subordinates surmised.


    Peng Zhigang nodded.


    A month quickly passed by.


    Following the incident with Jiang Yu, the number of pharmacists who visited Yang Xiaotian under various pretexts had diminished significantly.


    During the day, aside from practicing his swordsmanship, Yang Xiaotian spent time in the Sword Hall going over Cao Shun¡¯s swordsmanship manuals and divine skills.


    Sometimes he took an hour to instruct Wu Qi and others in alchemy.


    At night, Yang Xiaotian was diligently practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The incident with Jiang Yu had made Yang Xiaotian all the more aware of the importance of his own strength.


    Therefore, he spent two additional hours each day practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    After a month, Yang Xiaotian had finally perfected the Hundred Swords Technique to the realm of Perfection.


    He could now manipte one hundred superior long swords to execute twenty sets of swordsmanship simultaneously.


    At the same time, he had finished going over the swordsmanship manuals and divine skills left in the Sword Hall by Cao Shun.


    His own cultivation level had also made a breakthrough, reaching the tenth level of the Innate realm.


    Even though Liao Kun had broken through to the fourth level of the Martial King realm,


    now, with just one hand, only ny percent of his strength, and only using ordinary Innate Martial Arts, he could easily defeat Liao Kun and the group of five, including Zhang Jingrong.


    ¡°Martial King realm,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself in the night.


    He was now not far from the Martial King realm.


    Once he made the breakthrough to the Martial King realm, he would be able to practice various Divine Skills, and his strength was sure to surge dramatically.


    What was most critical was that once he entered the Martial King realm, his Innate True Qi would transform into liquid True Yuan, and he would be able to concoct Treasure Pills.


    The effects of Treasure Pills were many times better than the Innate Spirit Pills like the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    With Treasure Pills, the strength of his subordinates would rapidly increase.


    Therefore, he decided to go to the Royal City tomorrow and enter the medicinal bath for cultivation.


    The medicinal bath, born from the essence of Heaven and Earth, would boost his cultivation. Ten days inside might just allow him to break through to the Martial King realm.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian set out early for the Royal City.


    However, this time, he didn¡¯t bring Liao Kun and the rest; he only took Wu Qi and Luo Qing with him.


    To him, having Wu Qi and Luo Qing was sufficient. Too many people would actually draw more attention.


    The three traveled swiftly during the day and stopped at a deserted vige to rest at night.


    Divine Sword City wasn¡¯t far from the King¡¯s city of Divine Sea Country, and at their speed, they should arrive by the next afternoon.


    The campfire was lit, and the three sat around it, roasting meat, drinking wine, and chatting leisurely.


    At that moment, a merchant caravan passed by.


    By the looks of it, it was a trading party from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild..

 Chapter 96 - 96 Three Shoddy Goods

    Chapter 96: Three Shoddy Goods


    Trantor: 549690339


    What surprised Yang Xiaotian was that the leader of this Wind Cloud Commerce Guild caravan was Wen Jingyi.


    Wen Jingyi, dressed in a ck brocade robe and riding an exotic Dragon Horse, had skin that looked even more conspicuous under the moonlight.


    Whether in Xingyue City or in Divine Sword City, her performance had always been dazzling.


    That¡¯s why the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild called her back to resume her position at headquarters.


    Of course, on her return to Royal City, she took the opportunity to escort a shipment of goods there as well.


    Reflecting on her own changes over the past few months, Wen Jingyi was filled with emotion; if not for Lord Long, she could not have returned to headquarters so soon.


    This time, returning to headquarters was not just about resuming her old position, but to join the Council of Elders.


    For someone of her age, joining the Council of Elders was absolutely stunning.


    She would be the youngest Elder in the history of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    She was immensely grateful to Lord Long.


    ¡°Elder, it¡¯s gettingte, should we rest here for the night?¡± Wen Qin, the steward of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild behind Wen Jingyi, suggested.


    Wen Jingyi nodded, signaling everyone to rest on the spot, then noticed Yang Xiaotian and the other two by a campfire roasting meat and drinking wine. She hesitated a moment before walking over.


    ¡°Be careful, Elder,¡± Wen Qin said upon seeing this. ¡°The origins of these three are unknown.¡±


    Wen Jingyi waved her hand dismissively, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Then she approached Yang


    Xiaotian¡¯s group by the campfire, sped her fists in greeting, and said, ¡°I am Wen Jingyi from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild. May I join the three of you for a drink?¡±


    This was the first time Yang Xiaotian saw Wen Jingyi¡¯s hearty side andughed, ¡°Are you not afraid we put poison in the wine and then rob you of your goods?¡± He then nced in Wen Qin¡¯s direction.


    Wen Jingyi joked, ¡°To rob goods, one would hardly send a child to do it. If that¡¯s indeed the case, I consider myself rather lucky.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled and pointed to an empty seat by the fire.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Wen Jingyi took the offered seat.


    Yang Xiaotian recognized Wen Jingyi, though she did not recognize him. After sitting down, she curiously observed the trio.


    An old man on the brink of death, a middle-aged man with amanding presence, and an adorable child¡ªthisbination was certainly strange.


    And even stranger was that Xiaotian seemed to be the leader among them.


    Her gaze fell on Xiaotian¡¯s cute and handsome face, and she smiled, asking,


    ¡°Young master, where are you nning to go?¡±


    ¡°Royal City,¡± Xiaotian responded without concealing his destination and then took out a bottle of wine and threw it to Wen Jingyi.


    Wen Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then boldly took a sip. Instantly, she felt a delicious taste fill her mouth. It was different from the fragrance of ordinary wine, and after drinking, her body felt warm all over.


    Her eyes widened in surprise and she asked Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young master, what is this wine? It¡¯s so delicious.¡¯


    During her management of the businesses in Xingyue City and Divine Sword


    City, she would asionally engage in social drinking, so she had a certain Imowledge of wines, yet she had never heard of such a wine in Divine Sea Country.


    ¡°I brewed it myself,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. ¡°Regr consumption can strengthen the body and also enhance beauty.¡± He had added dozens of medicinal herbs to the wine.


    All were prepared using ancient methods.


    It could strengthen the body, boost True Qi, and indeed, it did have a beautifying effect.


    Hearing the wine also had a beautifying effect, Wen Jingyi¡¯s eyes brightened and she smiled, ¡°A beautifying effect, too? Then I must savor this wine slowly.¡± Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.


    ¡°If this wine truly has a beautifying effect, then it would be the only one in Divine Sea Country that does. If you, young master, were to open a tavern and sell this wine exclusively, it would surely be a hit,¡± she said.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°This wine, made with dozens of medicinal herbs, is quite pricey, so much so that even ordinary nobility can¡¯t afford it.¡± Therefore, trying to make money off this wine wasn¡¯t feasible.


    However, Wen Jingyi¡¯s words had inspired him.


    Perhaps, he could brew another type of wine, one that wasn¡¯t so costly to produce yet still had beautifying and body-strengthening effects, and then sell it at a tavern he could open.


    Although he was not short of money at the moment, the expenses for his growing number of followers were too great. He couldn¡¯t always rely on alchemy to maintain his finances. Opening a tavern could indeed be a way to make money.


    ¡°Young Master seems somewhat familiar. I feel like I¡¯ve seen you somewhere before,¡± Wen Jingyi suddenly said with a smile.


    The child before her indeed gave her a sense of familiarity.


    As if she had seen him somewhere.


    Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, ¡°I am from Divine Sword City, and I have sold things at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild in Divine Sword City before.¡±


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s face lit up, as she smiled, ¡°So you are from Divine Sword City. I knew I had seen the Young Master somewhere.¡±


    About that, she didn¡¯t think too much.


    However, upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian was from Divine Sword City, Wen Jingyi felt an added sense of closeness.


    Just as Wen Jingyi and Yang Xiaotian were engaging in a pleasant conversation, suddenly, a scream rang out. From a distance, within the thick weeds, a volley of sharp arrows shot out.


    ¡°An attack!¡± Wen Qin¡¯s face changed, she eximed in rm, ¡°Quick, defend!¡±


    All the guards of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild sprang to their feet and swung their sabers in unison.


    Wen Jingyi was also startled, stood up, and drew her sword to cut down several arrows.


    At that moment, anotherrge volley of arrows shot out from the weeds, but the enemy remained unseen.


    Wen Qin spoke furiously, ¡°Who is it,e out!¡± At the same time, she pointed her long saber angrily at Yang Xiaotian and his twopanions, ¡°Ourmerce guild moves in secrecy. It must have been you who followed us and leaked our movements. You¡¯re with them!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at her chest and said, ¡°You should think before you speak, otherwise, it just proves ¡®all chest, no brain.¡±¡®


    Wen Qin¡¯s chest heaved in anger.


    After dozens of arrow volleys, more than half of the thirty-something people from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were wounded. Then, the people hiding in the shadows emerged.


    There were many of them, around fifty or sixty.


    Seeing the assants¡¯ attire, Wen Jingyi¡¯s pretty face turned pale, ¡°The Blood Saber Gang.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was also somewhat surprised to see the Blood Saber Gang.


    He had been nning to visit their of the Blood Saber Gang in Royal City to find another Heavenly Dragon Saber.


    He hadn¡¯t expected to encounter members of the Blood Saber Gang here.


    A leader of the Blood Saber Gang, with a saber scar across his face, walked forward brandishing arge saber. Looking at Wen Jingyi and Wen Qin, he let out a lecherousugh, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to find two beautiful women here. Seems like tonight the brothers are in for a treat.¡±


    Enraged, Wen Qin¡¯s face turned crimson, ¡°You Blood Saber Gang are quite audacious. Do you know we are from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild!¡±


    The scar-faced leader rolled his eyes, sneered, and said, ¡°Soon, you will know that not only are we, brothers of the Blood Saber Gang, courageous, but everything else is sizeable as well.¡±


    The Blood Saber Gang burst into raucousughter.


    He leaped forward with his saber raised, aiming to strike Wen Jingyi and Wen Qin, whilemanding his subordinates, ¡°A few of you go and deal with those three pieces of trash.¡±


    Motioning towards Yang Xiaotian and Wu Qi¡¯s group.


    ¡°Trash, huh?¡±


    Hearing the other party refer to his group as trash, Yang Xiaotian chuckled.. With a flick of his hand, his fire stick transformed into a streak of light and instantly pierced the chest of a Blood Saber Gang member who was approaching!

 Chapter 97: What Are You Thinking About, Little Guy?

    Chapter 97: What Are You Thinking About, Little Guy?


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Kill them,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s indifferent voice floated out after his fire stick pierced through a Blood Saber Gang member.


    Luo Qing, who had been sitting there all along, suddenly rose up, arge saber appearing in his hand.


    Instantly, the saber¡¯s qi lit up the deste vige.


    The other few Blood Saber Gang members who had originallye to deal with Yang Xiaotian and the other two, only felt a myriad of saber qi before their sight, followed by a loss of consciousness.


    After a slight pause, their bodies rigidly fell to the ground.


    As they fell, columns of blood spurted from their bodies, drenching the surrounding weeds with blood.


    Hearing the screams, Wen Jingyi, Wen Qin, and the Blood Saber Gang members all looked over and were stunned by the sudden change.


    ¡°Spare him, kill everyone else,¡± Yang Xiaotian pointed to the scar-faced man and said to Luo Qing.


    ¡°Yes, young master,¡± Luo Qing replied, and with fluctuating movements, he was among the Blood Saber Gang members in a blink of an eye.


    Then his saber struck.


    The saber rose and fell again.


    No blood.


    Not even a scream.


    Luo Qing moved too fast, and his saber was even faster, as fast as lightning. The Blood Saber Gang members couldn¡¯t see Luo Qing or his saber clearly.


    ¡°Retreat quickly!¡± The scar-faced leader shouted in rm and rage, as he crazily shed hisrge saber at Luo Qing.


    But his saber didn¡¯te close to hitting Luo Qing, shing into the empty ground, kicking up dust and sand.


    When he tried to strike again, he only saw a sh of saber light before his eyes, and felt pain in the hand holding the saber as Luo Qing¡¯s saber had already reached his forehead.


    ¡°You!¡± The scar-faced leader was both shocked and angry, but before he could speak out, he saw the Blood Saber Gang members he had brought suddenly falling one by one, blood continuously bubbling from the throats of his underlings.


    Not a single one escaped.


    All silenced by a saber strike to the throat!


    Wen Jingyi, Wen Qin, and the others were stunned.


    They could see that these Blood Saber Gang members were all Innate level experts, who in any ordinary town could have been considered first-ss fighters. Yet now, in a few breaths, they had all been cleanly in.


    ¡°Is he a Martial King? Or a Martial Ancestor?¡± Wen Jingyi looked at Luo Qing with astonishment.


    This middle-aged man who had been sitting beside her, not uttering a word, was actually such a powerful figure.


    At this moment, Luo Qing turned his saber and struck the hilt into the chest of the scar-faced leader.


    The scar-faced leader was sent flying and crashed in front of the bonfire.


    He red at Yang Xiaotian from behind the bonfire, ¡°Boy, which n are you from? Do you know what the consequences are for interfering with the Blood Saber Gang¡¯s affairs?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t answer, but instead took out the Heavenly Dragon Saber,


    ¡°Do you recognize this saber?¡±


    ¡°The Remnant Blood Saber!¡± The scar-faced leader eximed.


    Remnant Blood Saber?


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    He soon realized that the Blood Saber Gang members didn¡¯t know the true origin and name of this small saber, hence the name Remnant Blood Saber.


    ¡°Is there another Remnant Blood Saber with the Blood Saber Gang? Whose hands is it in?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The scar-faced leader sneered, ¡°So, our Young Gang Leader died at your hands. You¡¯re dead for sure!¡±


    Previously, their Young Gang Leader had entered the Red Moon Forest and then disappeared.


    These past days, they had been investigating the whereabouts and murderer of their Young Gang Leader.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be bothered to ask further. He waved the Heavenly Dragon Saber in his hand, and it shot straight to the other¡¯s throat.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian beckoned, retrieving the Heavenly Dragon Saber.


    This Heavenly Dragon Saber, truly a relic of an ancient Long n powerhouse, was exceedingly sharp, and when recollected, it was unstained by blood.


    Having disposed of the scar-faced leader, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing search the bodies of the Blood Saber Gang members, only to find some Gold Coins and Healing Medicine, nothing of significant value.


    Wen Jingyi caught her breath and came before Yang Xiaotian, sping her fists with a smile, ¡°Jingyi thanks the young master for his timely rescue. If not for you today, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have been able to return to the Royal City.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head with a smile, ¡°No need to be polite. Heroes saving damsels in distress is quite the norm.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wen Jingyi could not help but let out a charming giggle.


    This little rascal, still a hero saving a damsel in distress? He¡¯s truly an old soul in a young body.


    In fact, how could she know that the little fellow before her, although he appeared to be eight or nine years old, housed a soul in his twenties?


    Before the transmigration of his soul, Yang Xiaotian was a descendant of the Wudang Sect, already in his twenties.


    When Wen Jingyiughed, it was pleasant to the ear, like the ringing of bells, and her beautiful eyes curved even more, with a dark, seductive allure.


    ¡°Young master, seeing as you¡¯re also headed for the Royal City, why don¡¯t we travel together tomorrow?¡± Wen Jingyi suggested with a smile.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded with a smile. ¡°As long as you¡¯re not afraid I¡¯ll leak your whereabouts to the Blood Saber Gang, I don¡¯t mind traveling with a beauty.¡±


    With a tenderugh, Wen Jingyi replied, ¡°The young master jests. It was Qin who was impetuous just now, her words offended the young master; please do not take offense.¡± Then she made Wen Qin apologize to Yang Xiaotian with a formal gesture.


    Wen Qin stepped forward to apologize to Yang Xiaotian with a respectful gesture, but her expression somehow seemed reluctantly done.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, did not look at Wen Qin, but at Wen Jingyi, smiling, ¡°I still find you more pleasing to the eye.¡±


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s eyes crinkled into a smile again.


    Wen Qin, annoyed, felt her chest heave; Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words undoubtedly suggested he found her displeasing.


    Afterward, Wen Jingyi sat down by the campfire.


    Following the incident with the Blood Saber Gang, the two conversed more intimately.


    Wu Qi remained silent, a kind smile hanging from his wrinkled face. Even though Wen Jingyi had never seen Wu Qi in action, after the recent event, she dared not see the old man on the brink of death as amon elder anymore.


    Her curiosity about Yang Xiaotian grew more intense.


    This clever child, whose background was unknown to her, had such a strong protector by his side.


    Could he possibly be the offspring of some royal family?


    The two talked into the deep night.


    Only then did they each settle down to sleep.


    Yang Xiaotian sat in meditation, regting his breath.


    The firelight illuminated his youthful face.


    The night gradually passed.


    At daybreak, Yang Xiaotian and the others set out on their journey.


    Upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian and his party were on foot, Wen Jingyi had the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild give two horses to Wu Qi and Luo Qing to ride. As for Yang Xiaotian, she smiled, ¡°Young master, if you don¡¯t mind, how about sharing a horse with me?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, ¡°Share a horse with you?¡± That didn¡¯t seem very appropriate.


    ¡°Do you mind?¡± Wen Jingyi asked, her beautiful eyes fluttering.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head; after all, she had put it so nicely, it hardly seemed right for him to object.


    Then, Wen Jingyi, holding the reins, sat in front, while Yang Xiaotian took his ce behind her.


    Wen Jingyi had a faint body fragrance about her, which was quite pleasing.


    ¡°Young master, you¡¯d better hold on to me. The Dragon Horse might get bumpy when it runs,¡± Wen Jingyi said with a smile after they had traveled a little way.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated as he looked at Wen Jingyi¡¯s slender waist, which seemed small enough to encircle with his hands.


    He could tell that she was still an unmarried maiden.


    Wen Jingyi turned her head, casting a coquettish nce at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°What are you thinking, little rascal?¡± She felt oddly close to the young Yang Xiaotian before her.


    Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s skin was exceptionally fine.


    Could it be due to regrly drinking the liquor like the one from the previous night?

 Chapter 98: No Need for Us to Take Action

    Chapter 98: No Need for Us to Take Action


    Trantor: 549690339


    In fact, Wen Jingyi had really misunderstood Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s skin was so good, not because of the wine fromst night, but because he regrly drank Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water could cleanse the marrow and wash the tendons, which in in terms, meant detoxification.


    It not only purged impurities from the visceral organs, but also from the muscles and skin.


    Having drunk so much Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, of course Yang Xiaotian¡¯s skin was excellent.


    Of course, his skin wasn¡¯t just good, after repeated marrow cleansing and tendon washing with Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, reinforced by his physical body, and awakened True Dragon Power, his skin was incredibly tough. Now, he could stand there and let a group of Martial Kings at the first, second, and even third level attack him with supreme spirit weapons without being harmed.


    The Dragon Horse was running fast.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s little hand was holding Wen Jingyi¡¯s slender waist.


    It was very soft andpliant.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind was filled with restless thoughts.


    ¡°Young Master,¡± Wen Jingyi suddenly said, ¡°Is your skin so good because of the winest night?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected Wen Jingyi to suddenly ask about this, and he was somewhat caught betweenughter and tears.


    ¡°Not entirely,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°I have drunk heavenly materials and earth treasures.¡± Then he added, ¡°However, that wine does indeed have beautifying effects. ¡±


    Wen Jingyi suddenly asked again, ¡°Young Master, what are you going to do in Royal City?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hide anything, ¡°I¡¯m going to the Grand Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    ¡°Going to the Pharmacist Hall?¡± Wen Jingyi thought it was quite novel for a child of eight or nine years old to visit the Pharmacist Hall andughed, ¡°What are you going to do at the Pharmacist Hall? Buy medicinal materials?¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°You could say that, I am a pharmacist.¡±


    This time, his entry to the Grand Pharmacist Hall was not only for refining in the medicinal pool, but he also intended to acquire a batch of ingredients for Refining Treasure Pills.


    He was now at the tenth level of the Innate stage, and after refining in the medicinal pool, even if he didn¡¯t break through to the Martial King Realm, he should be close.


    For now, he needed to prepare the materials for the Refining Treasure Pill.


    After all, other Pharmacist Halls didn¡¯t have the materials for the Refining Treasure Pill, only the main hall in Divine Sea Country did.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian called himself a pharmacist, Wen Jingyi¡¯s smile deepened so much that her eyes curved into crescents, ¡°You little guy, so you¡¯re a pharmacist, huh? I couldn¡¯t tell. Next time, can you sell your elixirs to ourmerce guild?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian knew Wen Jingyi didn¡¯t believe him and chuckled, ¡°Of course.¡±


    Next time, when he refined an exceptional Treasure Pill, he would sell it to Wen Jingyi.


    Wen Jingyi turned around, saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s serious expression, andughed, ¡°Then it¡¯s a promise.¡±


    ¡°A promise, ¡± Yang Xiaotianughed. The two had a great chat.


    From south to north.


    Then from west to east.


    From Divine Sea Country to Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Before they knew it, they had arrived at Royal City.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian dismounting from the Dragon Horse, Wen Jingyi felt a sense of loss.


    She looked at Yang Xiaotian and smiled, ¡°Little brother, how long will you be in Royal City? If you have time,e find sister at Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.¡± Then she gave Yang Xiaotian an identity token.


    Allowing Yang Xiaotian toe and find her bearing the identity token in the future.


    After their amiable conversation, she had already changed how she addressed Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he safely stored the identity token.


    Wen Jingyi, apanied by the people from Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, left and gradually disappeared into the crowd.


    Once Wen Jingyi¡¯s figure vanished at the end of the street, Wu Qi unusually joked, ¡°That girl wasn¡¯t bad at all.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian responded with a smile, ¡°Old sir, what are you thinking about? She¡¯s ten years older than I am.¡±


    ¡°Age difference of ten years is not a problem,¡± Luo Qing also smiled at this moment. ¡°Many Emperor Realm masters havepanions who are decades apart in age.¡±


    Once one breaks through to the Emperor Realm, the whole body undergoes transformation, vitality is strengthened, and living for two hundred years is not an issue.


    At the Emperor Realm, when taking apanion, age is not that important anymore, so a (litterence or twenty or tnlrty years IS quite normal.


    Seeing Luo Qing also joining in the conversation, Yang Xiaotian shook his head and, preferring not to discuss the issue further, said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Grand Pharmacist Hall first.¡±


    The three of them asked about the location of the Grand Pharmacist Hall and headed there.


    At the time when Yang Xiaotian and hispany were on their way to the Grand Pharmacist Hall, Wen Jingyi and others returned to the headquarters of theirmerce guild.


    After splitting up with Wen Jingyi, Wen Qin passed through several alleys and entered a mansion.


    Inside the mansion, Wen Jingtao¡¯s face darkened as he listened to Wen Qin¡¯s report, crushing a jade cup into dust, ¡°Those useless fools from the Blood Saber Gang can¡¯t even take care of a woman.¡±


    This time, Wen Jingyi being summoned back to the main branch to join the Council of Elders was naturally not what he wished to see.


    He had leaked the itinerary of Wen Jingyi to the Blood Saber Gang, hoping to deal with her through their hands, not expecting the Blood Saber Gang to fail.


    ¡°Did anyone find out the background of that kid?¡± Wen Jingtao asked Wen Qin.


    Wen Qin was the one he had ced by Wen Jingyi¡¯s side.


    Wen Qin shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t know, he said he is from Divine Sword City, but I¡¯m not sure if that¡¯s true or false.¡±


    ¡°Divine Sword City?¡± Wen Jingtao was puzzled.


    ¡°This kid messed up our ns, and he¡¯s currently in the Royal City, should we send someone to kill him?¡± Wen Qin said hatefully.


    Just thinking about Yang Xiaotian saying she had ¡®big boobs, no brains¡¯ , she wished she could p the kid to death.


    Wen Jingtao sneered, ¡°There is no need for us to take action, just pass his information to the Blood Saber Gang.¡±


    ¡°You mean, he¡¯s the one who killed the Blood Saber Gang¡¯s Young Gang Leader, right? With Blood Old Man¡¯s violent temperament, hehe, if he finds out that his son¡¯s killer is in the Royal City, he would probably turn the Royal City upside down.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll just sit back and enjoy the show.¡±


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions arrived at the Grand Pharmacist Hall, following the crowd.


    As the Grand Pharmacist Hall, it was built to be splendid and magnificent; simr to the Pharmacist Hall in Divine Sword City, the gates were unguarded.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions entered the main hall.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, inside the great hall, there was a group of pharmacists gathered around watching a two-star pharmacist concoct elixirs. Seeing the exciting part, quite a few pharmacists pped and cheered.


    After watching for a moment, Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    The two-star pharmacist was concocting the Dragon-Tiger Spirit Pill, and while his technique was indeed fluid, the Heaven and Earth Fire he controlled was not very stable, so the quality of the Dragon-Tiger Spirit Pill he would produce definitely would not exceed medium grade.


    While the two-star pharmacist was in the midst of concocting, he saw a kide in and steadily shake his head, and his face sank, pausing to ask, ¡°Which family¡¯s kid are you, and who let you in here?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Is there a rule in the Pharmacist Hall that children are not allowed to enter?¡±


    The two-star pharmacist heard this and his expression grew colder, about to scold, when suddenly an old man dressed in a three-star pharmacist robe walked in, saw Yang Xiaotian, and joyfully eximed, ¡°Friend Yang!¡±


    The neer was none other than the Grand Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall, Li Wen.


    The crowd was about toe forward to salute Li Wen when they heard him warmly calling the child ¡®Friend Yang,¡¯ and they were all taken aback.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    One pharmacist recognized him and excitedly looked towards Yang Xiaotian.


    The rest of the pharmacists followed suit, each one excited beyond measure.


    Ever since the end of the Pharmacist Competition, pharmacists across Divine Sea Country held Yang Xiaotian in fervent admiration.


    The two-star pharmacist trembled, asking, ¡°Are you Divine Yang Young


    Master?¡±

 Chapter 99 - 99 Yang Ling’ er Martial Soul Awakening

    Chapter 99: Yang Ling¡¯ er Martial Soul Awakening


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the excited expressions of the pharmacists before him and nodded, ¡°I am Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    The two-star pharmacist replied with a fearful and respectful tone, ¡°Divine Yang, I am Fu Zhen. I didn¡¯t realize it was you earlier, I, I¡­¡± He became so agitated that his words jumbled together.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his hand andughed, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Then he smiled at Li Wen, ¡°Grand Hall Master Li, where is the medicinal pool? Can I enter it to cultivate now?¡±


    Back in Divine Sword City, he wasn¡¯t too concerned about the medicinal pool, but now that he had arrived at the Grand Pharmacist Hall, he couldn¡¯t wait to enter the pool for cultivation.


    ¡°Alright, Friend Yang, I¡¯ll take you to the medicinal pool now,¡± Li Wen understood Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mood and smiled, then led Yang Xiaotian and the other two towards the Inner Hall.


    Even after Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure disappeared, the pharmacists in the great hall were still overflowing with excitement.


    Especially that two-star pharmacist, who was filled with endless regret.


    After passing through the numerous pces of the Pharmacist Hall, they arrived at arge gate. The gate was firmly closed, with intricate runes on it. Li Wen channeled his True Yuan, slowly pushing the gate open.


    Once the gate was opened, inside was a medicinal pool that measured one hundred square meters.


    The pool was emerald green, like a giant piece of jade.


    Even standing outside the gate, one could smell an exceptionallyfortable and unique fragrance.


    This scent was the distinctive aroma of the medicinal pool, formed by gathering the essence of Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Friend Yang, you can enter the medicinal pool now. Taking the time when the gate closes as the standard, I wille to get you after ten days,¡± Li Wen said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and walked toward the medicinal pool.


    The gate began to close.


    Wu Qi and Luo Qing stood guard outside the gate.


    Yang Xiaotian arrived at the center of the medicinal pool, sat down cross-legged without ceremony, and began to circte the Primordial Dragon


    Suddenly, the surging essence of Heaven and Earth rushed into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body from within the pool, at a speed that astounded onlookers.


    From afar, the essence of Heaven and Earth formed into a mighty vortex.


    And Yang Xiaotian was soon submerged by the great vortex.


    Meanwhile, within Xingyue City, Yang Chao and Huang Ying were leading Yang Ling¡¯er through her Martial Soul Awakening.


    Yang Ling¡¯er stood within the spell formation in the square, feeling very, very warm.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, suddenly a phoenix¡¯s cry that resounded through Heaven and Earth rang out.


    A gigantic, colorful phoenix manifested above Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s head in the sky.


    An astounding pressure enveloped Heaven and Earth.


    Within the square, whether it was the masters conducting the formation or the other family experts, all were shocked beyond measure.


    ¡°It¡¯s a phoenix!¡±


    ¡°A Nine-Colored Phoenix Wuhun!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a Nine-Colored Phoenix!¡±


    ¡°A fourteenth-level Martial Soul! ¡±


    The square instantly exploded with activity.


    Everyone was extraordinarily excited.


    A fourteenth-level Martial Soul was rare not only in the Divine Sea Country but also throughout the entire Divine Dragon Empire.


    The originally tense Yang Chao and Huang Ying stood dumbfounded.


    Then, the two of them grasped each other¡¯s hands excitedly, their eyes filled with tears.


    Their daughter had awakened a fourteenth-level Nine-Colored Phoenix Wuhun!


    Even more heaven-defying than their son¡¯s eleventh-level Martial Soul was her fourteenth -level one!


    ¡°Heaven bless our Yang Family!¡± Yang Chao¡¯s lips trembled.


    Their son had already been a tremendous surprise, but his daughter¡¯s surprise was even greater.


    Just when everyone was pleasantly surprised by Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s awakening of the Nine-Colored Phoenix Martial Soul, suddenly, a figure burst through the crowd, aiming a thrust with a sword directly at Yang Linger.


    This unexpected scene shocked everyone.


    The faces of Yang Chao and Huang Ying, who had been excited, changed dramatically.


    Yang Chao charged forward furiously, trying to intervene, but the assant was too fast and far stronger than he; the sword reached Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s chest in an instant.


    Just as the assassin¡¯s sword was about to pierce through Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s chest, and everyone thought Yang Ling¡¯er was destined to die, suddenly, a long sword shot out from the crowd, aiming straight at the assassin.


    The assassin was startled and in a panic, he no longer concentrated on Yang Ling¡¯er, twisting his body to dodge, but the oing sword still struck his ribs.


    At that moment, five figures burst through the air; it turned out to be Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong among the five, who simultaneously struck the assassin with their palms, sending him flying.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± The assassin, knocked back and spewing blood, was both shocked and enraged.


    ¡°Who are we?¡± Liao Kun sneered. ¡°That¡¯s the question we should be asking you.¡±


    It turned out that when Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, and Luo Qing went to the Royal City, they were worried about their family in Xingyue City and had sent Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong along with three others over.


    The assassin suddenly turned around and fled into the crowd.


    However, how could Liao Kun and the others possibly let him escape?


    They leaped up and quickly intercepted him.


    Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.


    After ten days, Li Wen arrived on time to open the door to the healing pool.


    However, when he opened the door to the pool, he was stunned by the scene before him.


    Yang Xiaotian was still sitting cross-legged inside the healing pool, but the pool, originally filled with the essence of heaven and earth, had be dry and barren.


    ¡°This, this!¡± Li Wen pointed at the healing pool.


    In just ten days, Yang Xiaotian had nearly consumed an entire pool¡¯s essence of heaven and earth.


    This was something he had never encountered or even imagined.


    In the past, there were pharmacists who received rewards and practised in the healing pool for ten days.


    But none had absorbed essence so voraciously.


    It was astounding that in just ten days, the pool¡¯s essence of heaven and earth was nearly exhausted.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up and, looking at Li Wen, felt somewhat embarrassed as he said, ¡°Grand Hall Master Li, I didn¡¯t expect the pool would deplete so quickly.¡±


    Li Wen almost fainted.


    The essence of heaven and earth in this healing pool had been umting for hundreds of years.


    And it depleted quickly?


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s small stature, incredulous that in just ten days it could nearly drain the pool?


    ¡°Grand Hall Master Li, how about this,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment, took out a hundred portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, ¡°These are for the Grand Hall,¡± as his way ofpensation.


    Li Wen stared at the hundred portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid from Yang Xiaotian, dumbfounded, and eventually, he could only bitter-sweetly ept Yang Xiaotian¡¯spensation.


    He knew that it was not Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fault, after all. The pharmacistpetition had awarded him the opportunity to practice in the healing pool for ten days.


    Yang Xiaotian had simply practiced as allowed for ten days.


    Afterward, Li Wen warmly invited Yang Xiaotian to stay a few more days at the Grand Pharmacist Hall, to offer some advice to the pharmacists there.


    He imed that the pharmacists at the Grand Pharmacist Hall looked up to Yang Xiaotian greatly.


    Seeing Li Wen¡¯s warm invitation, Yang Xiaotian decided to stay.


    However, after night fell, as Yang Xiaotian was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard of the Grand Pharmacist Hall, Luo Qing entered, looking serious as he reported the events at Xingyue City.


    ¡°What, my sister awakened a level fourteen Martial Soul?!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed with delight, but upon hearing that Yang Ling¡¯er had been the target of an assassination, his expression darkened: ¡°Was the assant caught?¡±


    ¡°The assant has been captured,¡± Luo Qing said.

 Chapter 100: Did You Kill My son?

    Chapter 100: Did You Kill My son?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Upon hearing that the murderer had been caught, Yang Xiaotian said in a deep voice, ¡°Have they found out who sent him?¡±


    ¡°Liao Kun and the others have interrogated him.¡± Luo Qing said, ¡°He was sent by He Qingzhe of the Tiandou Academy.¡±


    ¡°Tiandou Academy, He Qingzhe?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank.


    He had not expected this matter to be connected to the Tiandou Academy.


    ¡°Yes, the Tiandou Academy,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°This He Qingzhe is an Inner Court Student at the Tiandou Academy. His talent is extremely high, especially in alchemy, and he can be called the number one of the younger generation at the


    Tiandou Academy.¡±


    ¡°He is now one of the three most dazzling talents at the Tiandou Academy.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he is of noble descent from the Wuding Country, the nephew of the King of Wuding Country.¡±


    Upon hearing what Luo Qing said, Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    The nephew of the King of Wuding Country?


    Beneath the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, there are forty-six kingdoms.


    Wuding Country is the strongest among these forty-six kingdoms and ranks first.


    Only the Ancient Sword Kingdomes after it.


    ¡°Did they find out why he wanted to assassinate my sister?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    He had no previous grievances with this He Qingzhe.


    Today was the first time he had heard the other party¡¯s name.


    ¡°They asked. The murderer said that actually, He Qingzhe¡¯s true intention was not to kill Ling¡¯er, but to capture her and make you hand over the Gale Torrential Rain alchemy technique,¡± Luo Qing said.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows tightened.


    ¡°Young Master, how should the murderer be dealt with?¡± Luo Qing asked.


    ¡°Kill him,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly. Then he added, ¡°Also, have Liao Kun and the others bring my parents and Ling¡¯er to Divine Sword City.¡±


    Luo Qing acknowledged this.


    ¡°By the way, Young Master, there¡¯s another matter,¡± Luo Qing suddenly remembered something and said, ¡°News just came from the Divine Sword Academy, stating that the Tiandou Academy has brought forward its admission for the next year.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve set the date for the end of this year.¡±


    The words from Luo Qing surprised Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Brought forward?¡±


    The early admission of the Tiandou Academy was major news.


    The end of this year? That meant it was half a year early.


    ¡®Why?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Not clear,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°The Tiandou Academy did not specify the reason; they just requested that all the major kingdoms conduct academypetitions in three months, and the top ten from each country will then go to the Tiandou Academy for the freshman assessment.¡±


    In three months?


    The news was very sudden.


    A whileter, Luo Qing left.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in the courtyard, thinking about He Qingzhe and the Tiandou Academy¡¯s admission.


    ¡°He Qingzhe.¡± His eyes were cold.


    Whoever dared to touch his family, no matter which kingdom¡¯s royalty they were, he would repay them a hundredfold.


    The next day.


    After dawn, Yang Xiaotian went to say goodbye to Li Wen.


    ¡°Friend Yang, you¡¯re returning to Divine Sword City?¡± Li Wen was astonished.


    Yang Xiaotian gave a hum and said, ¡°The Tiandou Academy has brought forward its admissions, and the academypetitions will be in three months.


    I want to return to Divine Sword City and prepare early.¡±


    Li Wen nodded; he had just found out about the Tiandou Academy¡¯s early admissions, which was quite sudden.


    Still, hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s intent to participate in the academypetition, Li Wen couldn¡¯t help but be surprised, ¡°Friend Yang, you¡¯re going to participate in this academypetition?¡±


    For each academypetition between the kingdoms, it is generally those in the Martial King Realm who register to participate.


    At the very least, he must have reached the Innate Tenth Order.


    However, Yang Xiaotian, although his alchemy level was high, seemed to not possess strong personalbat prowess.


    It hasn¡¯t even been a year since Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul Awakening, and even with further cultivation, Li Wen did not believe Yang Xiaotian had any hope of seizing a position within the top ten of Divine Sea Country.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°I want to try.¡±


    Even without cultivating in the medicinal pool, with his previous strength, he could have easily taken the first ce in Divine Sea Country.


    Now, his strength was such that even ten Liao Kuns were no match for him, let alone Hu Xing and the others.


    At these words, Li Wen smiled, no longer trying to persuade Yang Xiaotian, and then the conversation turned to Yang Linger. Smiling at Yang Xiaotian, Li Wen said, ¡°Congrattions, Friend Yang, your younger sister has awakened a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul, and the news has shaken both domestic and foreign nations. I¡¯m afraid even the Empire will be taken aback when the timees.¡±


    The news of Yang Ling¡¯er awakening a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul had spread like a hurricane, causing an uproar throughout Divine Sea Country.


    As can be imagined, the Divine Dragon Empire would soon hear the news, and then, the powers and mighty ones of the Empire would likely flock to them in droves.


    A Supreme Martial Spirit could go unnoticed by the Empire, but a fourteenth-grade Supreme Martial Spirit would definitely rm the top superpowers of the Empire.


    Looking at the Yang Xiaotian before him, Li Wen was filled with myriad emotions. Yang Xiaotian had already be a nationally renowned genius, and now, his sister was even more monstrous.


    ¡°Thank you, Grand Hall Master Li,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, cupping his fist in salute: ¡°We shall take our leave now.¡± Then he led Wu Qi and Luo Qing out of the Grand Pharmacist Hall.


    His urgency to return to Divine Sword City was primarily because of his sister Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s awakening of a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul.


    As Li Wen had said, when the Empire¡¯s great superpowers were stirred, Divine Sword City would undoubtedly be a ce of swirling clouds and raging waters.


    He needed to stand by his family¡¯s side.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian leave, every Pharmacist of the Grand Pharmacist Hall could not help but see him off with tear-filled eyes.


    Li Wen escorted Yang Xiaotian out of Divine Sword City personally.


    As he watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, he couldn¡¯t help but be emotional about his sister.


    Yang Xiaotian walked the mountain path with Wu Qi and Luo Qing, and the sky gradually darkened.


    Just as the three of them were passing through some deste mountains and ridges, suddenly, countless arrows shot out.


    The arrows, with their ck and shiny tips, were evidently coated with potent poison.


    ¡°Young master, be careful!¡± Luo Qing cried out at the sight, swinging his broadsword to raise a gust of wind to block the arrows, while Wu Qi simply waved hisrge staff lightly, sending all the arrows flying back the way they came.


    Immediately, there were screams from the dark.


    Then, it fell quiet.


    On a nearby deste mountain, groups upon groups of Blood Saber Gang members emerged from the dark.


    The numbers were extremelyrge; there were actually two to three thousand people!


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised to see the Blood Saber Gang had mobilized two to three thousand people.


    It seemed that the Blood Saber Gang had turned out in full force in order to kill him.


    At that moment, the Blood Saber Gang members opened a path, and the towering Blood Saber Gang Leader, with arge saber in hand, stepped forward. Standing on the mountaintop, he looked down at Yang Xiaotian with contempt, ¡°Divine Yang?¡±


    Clearly, he had already investigated Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity.


    However, even knowing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, he still intended to make his move.


    ¡°Is it you who killed my son?¡± The Blood Saber Gang Leader leaned on hisrge saber, his eyes cold and fierce.


    ¡°You could say so,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently.


    ¡°You could say so?¡± The Blood Saber Gang Leaderughed grimly, then suddenly swung hisrge saber. With a thunderous roar, hemanded, ¡°Kill!¡±


    Instantly, over two thousand Blood Saber Gang members leaped down from the mountain, brandishing their sabers and rushing to attack Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    The over two thousand Blood Saber Gang members, dense and swarming like ants.


    Watching the Blood Saber Gang onught, Luo Qing immediately stepped forward with his saber, violently shing out, sending out dozens of sword energies like extended whips, instantly scattering a group of Blood Saber Gang members.


    Luo Qing charged into the midst of the Blood Saber Gang members.


    But it wasn¡¯t long before he was overwhelmed by the dense crowd of Blood Saber Gang members..

 Chapter 101: Turning Back is the Shore

    Chapter 101: Turning Back is the Shore


    Trantor: 549690339


    Luo Qing was swallowed up by the members of the Blood Saber Gang, with terrifying shes of saber light bursting forth from time to time.


    Every time a saber light burst out, several members of the Blood Saber Gang were sent flying.


    However, there were too many members of the Blood Saber Gang; wave after wave surrounded Luo Qing so tightly that there was no escape.


    Around Yang Xiaotian, even more members of the Blood Saber Gang surged in from all directions, one after another.


    Seeing the Blood Saber Gang members flooding in from all around, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold and intense. If that was the case, he might as well warm up with a good fight today.


    Just as the members of the Blood Saber Gang approached Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a burst of sword light erupted from his entire body. One hundred long swords appeared behind Yang Xiaotian like a peacock spreading its feathers.


    ¡°Go!¡± With a wave of his hand, Yang Xiaotian sent the one hundred long swords splitting apart, each group of five aiming at the Blood Saber Gang membersing at him from all directions.


    In an instant, blood sprayed into the sky.


    Arge number of Blood Saber Gang members were struck by the long swords and sent flying.


    All the members of the Blood Saber Gang who were struck had terrifying sword holes appear throughout their bodies.


    What Yang Xiaotian was using was the Hundred Swords Technique.


    Before he had even practiced in the medicinal pool, he was already able to control one hundred swords to perform twenty different sword techniques simultaneously.


    Now, controlling the twenty sets of techniques was a cinch for him, handled with great ease.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian waved his hand again, and the one hundred long swords suddenly converged into a Sword Dragon. Wherever the Sword Dragon moved, the members of the Blood Saber Gang were plowed through and thrown out.


    Each member of the Blood Saber Gang who was plowed through was left with their flesh and blood in a blur, as if they had been sliced by one hundred long swords.


    The Gang Leader of the Blood Saber Gang, standing on the hillside, watched Yang Xiaotian wield the Hundred Swords Technique and continuously send the Blood Saber Gang members flying. He couldn¡¯t help but be astonished.


    He was shocked by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength, his high-level swordsmanship, and even more shocked that all one hundred of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s long swords were Supreme Spirit Weapons.


    Where had Yang Xiaotian gotten so many Supreme Spirit Weapons?


    ¡°Gang Leader, they¡¯re Supreme Spirit Weapons, all of them! If we kill Yang


    Xiaotian, those one hundred Supreme Spirit Weapons will belong to our Blood Saber Gang,¡± an Elder of the Blood Saber Gang excitedly said to the side, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at the one hundred long swords.


    It was no wonder he was greedy; one hundred Supreme Spirit Weapons were worth millions of gold.


    ¡°You, go and deal with Yang Xiaotian,¡± the Blood Saber Gang Leader said coldly to an Elder beside him who was eager to try, ¡°but don¡¯t kill him just yet. Leave him barely alive.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± the Elder of the Blood Saber Gang chuckled and leaped down, pulling out therge saber behind him and shing at Yang Xiaotian from behind.


    Wu Qi was about to make a move when Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°No need.¡± As he said this, another long sword appeared in his hand, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    Yang Xiaotian, as if having eyes in the back of his head, struck backward with the Heaven -Prating Sword in hand.


    He precisely pierced the throat of the Blood Saber Gang Elder.


    This was the seventh move of the Heaven -Prating Sword Technique, ¡°Turning Back is the Shore.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian withdrew the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand.


    The Elder of the Blood Saber Gang fell down, his eyes wide open. Even in death, he couldn¡¯t believe he had been stabbed in the throat by Yang Xiaotian.


    You should know, he was at the second level of the Martial King realm.


    Even the Gang Leader of the Blood Saber Gang on the mountaintop, along with the other Elders, were all taken aback.


    ¡°Did Yang Xiaotian really kill Six?¡± one of them couldn¡¯t believe it.


    The Gang Leader of the Blood Saber Gang had an ugly expression.


    He had overestimated Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength, thinking at most Yang Xiaotian would be at the third level of the Innate realm, but now Yang Xiaotian had actuallv killed a second-level Martial King Elder of their Blood Saber Gang!


    He was shaken inside.


    At the same time, he was fearful.


    If Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation speed was so terrifying, wouldn¡¯t he reach the Martial Emperor realm in five years?!


    How old was Yang Xiaotian at that time?


    ¡°Gang Leader, shall we retreat?¡± one of the Elders hesitated to suggest.


    Clearly, Yang Xiaotian had instilled a chill in their hearts by that moment.


    ¡°Retreat? Do you think we still have a way out?¡± the Blood Saber Gang Leader said fiercely, ¡°You five go and kill that guy.¡± He meant Luo Qing.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go kill Yang Xiaotian!¡± He rose abruptly, sword in hand, and from a hundred meters away, he shed at Yang Xiaotian.


    A startling de force of green hue spanned the hundred meters, instantly falling from above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    Because he was intent on killing Yang Xiaotian, he had unleashed his strongest divine skill, the ¡°Green Moon de Force.¡±


    Thus, this strike was with his full strength.


    But at that moment, Wu Qi suddenly swung hisrge wooden staff, and a surge of green light shot up into the sky, instantly shattering the Blood Saber Gang Leader¡¯s Green Moon de Force.


    The green light then struck the Blood Saber Gang Leader in the chest.


    The Blood Saber Gang Leader was sent flying back, and uponnding, his chest waspletely prated by the green light, even his Spirit Armor was of no use.


    He looked at Wu Qi in fear, ¡°You, Martial Emperor?!¡±


    Wu Qi¡¯s face was cold, and he suddenly struck the ground with hisrge wooden staff. Immediately, a startling dark green chill spread out like ripples.


    All of the Blood Saber Gang members submerged by the dark green chill turned into ice sculptures.


    Seeing the approaching dark green chill, the Blood Saber Gang Leader was stricken with horror and struggled to flee. But as he tried to rise, he was engulfed by the chill and turned into an ice sculpture, just like the other gang members.


    In Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, the Sword Qi of the Hundred Swords shone brightly, and all the Blood Saber Gang members turned into ice sculptures were pierced by the Sword Qi, turning into countless ice chunks, including the Gang Leader.


    The sudden death of the Blood Saber Gang Leader stunned the other five Elders.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Martial Emperor! Run for it!¡± The five screamed in terror and fled, no longer daring to linger.


    However, how could Wu Qi possibly let the five escape? He waved hisrge wooden staff, which transformed into a streak of light that sent the five flying on impact.


    By the time theynded, their heads had been smashed.


    Shortly thereafter, Yang Xiaotian, wielding his long sword, pierced through thest member of the Blood Saber Gang.


    Around the three of themy a field of corpses.


    The moon was high, the wind strong, yet the dense smell of blood could not be dispersed.


    ¡°Wen Jingtao,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    From the mouths of the Blood Saber Gang members, he had learned that Wen


    Jingtao of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild conspired with the Blood Saber Gang, and it was Wen Jingtao and Wen Qin who informed the Gang of his whereabouts.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian found another Heavenly Dragon Saber on the body of the Blood Saber Gang Leader.


    Looking at the dead bodies of the Blood Saber Gang members, he extended his palm, and the me of Star flew out. The me of Star hung high in the air, and like a dream, specks of starry me fell.


    The bodies touched by the specks of starry me were promptly incinerated clean.


    The three continued on their way back to Divine Sword City.


    As for Wen Jingtao and Wen Qin, they would deal with them when they came to Royal City for the academypetition in three months.


    Right now, he was anxious to return to Divine Sword City.


    The next day.


    Yang Xiaotian finally returned to Divine Sword City, where he saw his father, mother, and younger sister.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Yang Ling¡¯er immediately started crying, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re finally back,¡± and then, while crying, she continued to eat the lollipop that Zhang Jingrong had bought for her.


    Yang Xiaotian wiped the tears from Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s face and smiled; the girl truly had a special fondness for candy.


    At that moment, Yang Linger suddenly pulled Yang Xiaotian into a corner and asked seriously, ¡°Big brother, this mansion is even bigger than Yang Family Manor, is it really yours?¡±

 Chapter 102 - 102 Subduing Dragon Sword Sect

    Chapter 102: Subduing Dragon Sword Sect


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian saw his sister looking mysterious and thought she wanted to ask something important, and couldn¡¯t help but feel speechless.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying also heard Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s question and stared intently at Yang Xiaotian, equally eager to know the answer to this question.


    After all, real estate in Divine Sword City was worth its weight in gold. When they were brought over by Liao Kun and first arrived at the mansion, they were also greatly surprised.


    Seeing the earnest look on his parent¡¯s faces, Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile and said, ¡°It¡¯s mine.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°Big brother, then, was this mansion very expensive?¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed and answered, ¡°A few million gold.¡±


    ¡°A few million gold?¡± Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s mouth fell open, then she started counting on her fingers: ¡°Our house in Xingyue City only cost a little over a thousand gold, so a few million gold, how many Xingyue City houses is that?¡± She then continued, ¡°A few million gold, how much candy could that buy?¡± Yang Xiaotian was left speechless.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying, on the other hand, were dumbfounded.


    Was this mansion truly their son¡¯s?


    For them, who normally didn¡¯t spend more than ten gold a month, a few million gold was simply an astronomical figure beyond their wildest dreams.


    They had never imagined that their son could be so wealthy one day.


    ¡°Xiaotian, where did you get so much money from?¡± Yang Chao couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    They already knew that Yang Xiaotian was the Sword Hall Master, and that he had won first ce in the Pharmacist Competition; they knew he was a pharmacist, but even for a pharmacist, it wasn¡¯t possible to be this wealthy.


    Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile: ¡°This money was all made from selling medicine I refined.¡±


    Before Yang Chao could ask further, Yang Xiaotian took out two supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills and said, ¡°Father, Mother, from now


    on, cultivate by consuming the Four Symbols Spirit Pills.¡±


    ¡°Supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills?!¡± Both Yang Chao and Huang Ying were stunned.


    The two looked at Yang Xiaotian and then at the supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills he held in his hand.


    Could these supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills be¡­?


    ¡°I refined them.¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile, Imowing what his parents were thinking.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying felt like their minds had exploded.


    For a long while, they still felt as if they were in a dream.


    They simply could not associate their son who was ying around at the Yang Family Manor just a few months ago with the Yang Xiaotian who now stood before them, capable of refining supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Seeing his parent¡¯s reaction, Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t surprised. He knew that they would need time to digest everything that was unfolding before their eyes.


    However, after this period of cultivation through the medicine pool, he had already broken through to the Martial King realm. Now, he should be able to refine supreme-quality Treasure Pills, right?


    Night fell.


    Yang Xiaotian began practicing divine skills.


    Now that he had stepped into the Martial King Realm and turned his True Qi into Yuan, he had the ability to cultivate divine skills.


    The power of divine skills was far beyond what Innate Martial Arts couldpare to.


    However, divine skills also varied in strength, ranking as minor divine powers, great divine powers, and supreme divine powers. Minor divine powers were the weakest, and supreme divine powers the strongest, but thetter were the most difficult to cultivate. Often, someone might toil for years and still struggle to reach the Minor Achievement Realm.


    There were those in the Martial King Realm who spent their entire lives unable to cultivate a supreme divine power to Perfection Realm, let alone reach Summit Mastery.


    Among the divine skills left by Cao Shun, there were eleven supreme divine powers.


    Yang Xiaotian decided to start with a supreme divine power called ¡®Myriad Aspects Sword Qi.¡¯


    Nothing else appealed to him more than swordsmanship.


    Moreover, among those eleven supreme divine powers, this Myriad Aspects Sword Qi was one of the strongest.


    If Myriad Aspects Sword Qi was cultivated to the Summit Mastery Realm, it could evolve myriad aspects of Heaven and Earth, possessing unpredictably powerful transformations.


    Yang Xiaotian thoroughly read through Myriad Aspects Sword Qi from beginning to end, paying close attention to every detail. After finishing, he hadmitted all the contents to memory.


    Divine Skills are far more profound, difficult toprehend, and rare than


    Innate Martial Arts, let alone a Supreme Divine Power like the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi. However, after Yang Xiaotian had carefully read through it, he didn¡¯t find any part particrly obscure or hard to understand.


    He examined it again and only then did he begin to cultivate.


    Soon, the courtyard came alive with the glow of Sword Qi.


    Yang Xiaotian immersed himself in the sword intent of Myriad Aspects Sword Qi. Amidst the rising and falling Sword Qi, there seemed to be myriad beasts running rampant, mountains stacking endlessly, and rivers flowing in their thousands.


    While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi, a Supreme Divine Power, Yang Chao and Huang Ying were lying in their bedroom bed, chatting about their children, discussing the hardships and joys of the past years.


    As they talked about their past struggles, Huang Ying¡¯s eyes suddenly reddened, and her eyes became moist, ¡°Chao-ge, do you think I saved the Martial Soul World in my past life?¡±


    Otherwise, how could she be so fortunate in this life to have such good sons and daughters?


    Yang Chao also said with emotion, ¡°Yes, you saved the Martial Soul World in your past life, and I saved the Milky Way Gxy.¡± Huang Ying was startled, then suddenly burst outughing.


    Theyughed together.


    In the following days, except for cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, Yang Xiaotian also practiced the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi, the Hundred Swords Technique, and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    The Hundred Swords Technique had actually transcended the scope of Innate Martial Arts. With Hundred Swords unleashed simultaneously, it was not inferior to a Supreme Divine Power like Myriad Aspects Sword Qi.


    As for the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, it was one of the top ten sword techniques in the Martial Soul World, needless to say.


    Besides cultivating, Yang Xiaotian spent the rest of the time with his family, sometimes giving them guidance on cultivation and sometimes apanying them around Divine Sword City.


    Every time they visited Divine Sword City, Yang Ling¡¯er would drag Yang Xiaotian towards the snack stores.


    After a few days, Yang Ling¡¯er knew exactly which snack store in Divine Sword City had the tastiest candies and which ones were not good at all, as if she treasured them like pearls.


    On this day.


    The sunlight was splendid.


    As Yang Xiaotian was instructing his parents in their cultivation, suddenly, two terrifying pressures enveloped the entire Divine Sword City!


    Indeed, the entire Divine Sword City.


    Feeling these two terrifying pressures, all the strong figures in Divine Sword City changed colors dramatically.


    Whether it was Lin Yong from Divine Sword Academy or Peng Zhigang from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, they all looked at the two proud figures in the sky above Divine Sword City with fear.


    They had all seen the Supreme Emperor of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, but even the Supreme Emperor did not possess such terrifying pressure.


    Could these two people be?


    At that moment, the two figures standing in the sky blinked, and in an instant, they arrived above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s manor. When the two figures reached the air above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s manor, the overwhelming pressure on everyone in Divine Sword City suddenly dissipated.


    The visitors were a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties and a young man with a proud face.


    The middle-aged man scanned the area and fixed his gaze on Yang Ling¡¯er, his eyes revealing a pleasant surprise as he smiled, ¡°Are you Yang Ling¡¯er?¡± Yang Ling¡¯er, however, did not speak and hid behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, little girl. I am Jiu


    Wu from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, a Supreme Sect of the Divine


    Dragon Empire, and this is my disciple Lan Yi. We mean no harm.¡±


    ¡°We havee here just to invite you to join our Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.¡±


    ¡°Come with us.¡±


    Subduing Dragon Sword Sect!


    Upon hearing the other party¡¯s introduction, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank.


    In recent days, he had thoroughly acquainted himself with the major Supreme Powers of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Both the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect and the True Dragon Divine Sect were part of the top ten Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Hearing Jiu Wu¡¯s words, Yang Ling¡¯er clung even tighter to Yang Xiaotian, gripping him firmly and shaking her head.


    Seeing this, Jiu Wu¡¯s disciple Lan Yi said, ¡°Master, why waste words with her? Let¡¯s just take her back to the Sword Sect.¡± After saying that, he made to forcibly take Yang Ling¡¯er away..

 Chapter 103 - 103 1 1 m Still Not Interested

    Chapter 103: 1 1 m Still Not Interested


    Trantor: 549690339


    Just at that moment, suddenly, a scornfulugh rang out: ¡°Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, if the youngdy refuses to go with you, do you still intend to take her by force?¡±


    ¡°Since when has the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect be no different from bandits.¡±


    The voice was abrupt.


    Everyone looked over and saw several figures tearing through the sky, arriving above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence in the blink of an eye.


    Jiu Wu of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect¡¯s face darkened upon seeing the neers.


    The arrivals were none other than a group of masters from the True Dragon Divine Sect, the archrival of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect; leading them was the silver-haired elder Zhang Haolin, a venerable ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Zhang Haolin¡¯s silver hair fluttered, his face ruddy with health, ignoring Jiu Wu and his disciple Lan Yi, his gaze settling on Yang Ling¡¯er, his smile kindly: ¡°You must be the young Miss Yang Linger; indeed, you are as smart and lovely as they say, delightful and endearing.¡±


    Heughed and said, ¡°I am Zhang Haolin, the ancestor of the True Dragon


    Divine Sect, and our entire sect sincerely wees you to join our ranks.¡±


    Heughed again: ¡°Our True Dragon Divine Sect has plenty of delicious food, as well as many ymates your age.¡±


    Clearly, Zhang Haolin had done some homework on Yang Ling¡¯er before arriving, knowing that she liked tasty treats.


    Sure enough, Zhang Haolin¡¯s words seemed to tempt Yang Ling¡¯er.


    However, she immediately shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to any True Dragon Divine Sect, I just want to practice with my brother, I want to be with my father and mother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haolinughed heartily: ¡°You want to practice with your brother? Your brother is a Level 11 Martial Soul, although his talent is not bad, he still cannot teach you; any randomly chosen genius from our True Dragon Divine Sect is stronger than your brother!¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er, hearing the other party say that any random genius from the True Dragon Divine Sect was stronger than her brother, immediately took umbrage, pouted her lips and turned her face away, refusing to look at Zhang Haolin.


    Seeing Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s adorable reaction, Zhang Haolin chuckled, turning to


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying with a smile, ¡°You two must be Ling¡¯er¡¯s parents? With such a rare talent, you surely hope that she can receive instruction from a worthy master. Our True Dragon Divine Sect is one of the strongest sects within the Divine Dragon Empire.¡±


    ¡°Should Ling¡¯er join our True Dragon Divine Sect, we will spare no effort in nurturing her.¡±


    ¡°By joining our sect, she will inevitably be a supreme powerhouse in the future.¡±


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying remained silent.


    In tact, over these past days, they also contemted this matter.


    They knew that joining a supreme sect like the True Dragon Divine Sect could only be beneficial for Yang Linger¡¯s growth, with no drawbacks.


    Just then, another heartyugh sounded out.


    ¡°Everyone arrived quite quickly, it seems our Green Divine Sect is a step behind,¡± as several figures tore through the sky to arrive.


    The Green Divine Sect, like the True Dragon Divine Sect and the Subduing Dragon Sect, was one of the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s ten supreme sects.


    The neer was the Green Divine Sect¡¯s ancestor, Chen Hansong, along with a contingent of Supreme Elders.


    Chen Hansong had arge wine gourd hanging from his waist and his hair was disheveled, giving off an unkempt appearance.


    However, neither Zhang Haolin nor Jiu Wu dared to underestimate him.


    Upon arriving, Chen Hansong did not greet Zhang Haolin or Jiu Wu but merely smiled at Yang Ling¡¯er, saying, ¡°Hello, youngdy,¡± before taking a swig from his gourd. Only then did he continue, smiling at Yang Ling¡¯er, ¡°We are from the Green Divine Sect, would you like a drink?¡±


    The Supreme Elders of the Green Divine Sect standing behind Chen Hansong broke into a sweat.


    You¡¯re offering an alcoholic beverage to a young girl; don¡¯t scare her now.


    Chen Hansong, however, justughed nonchntly, ¡°This wine of mine has been brewed using century-old monkey fruit and the rarest flowers and fruits from Huaguo Mountain, along with many other scarce medicinal ingredients.¡±


    ¡°After drinking it, one can prolong life.¡± ¡°It turns grey hair back to ck.¡±


    ¡°It transforms an old man back into a young one.¡±


    The Supreme Elders of Green Divine Sect looked at Chen Hansong¡¯s white hair, and their faces gathered more dark lines on their foreheads. However, Chen Hansong¡¯s appearance amused Yang Ling¡¯er.


    Yang Ling¡¯er chuckled softly.


    Seeing Yang Ling¡¯erugh, Chen Hansong chuckled, ¡°Young miss hasughed. Miss,e back with me to the Green Divine Sect. Our ancestors have said that once you achieve sainthood, the position of Sect Master is yours.¡±


    Jiu Wu, Zhang Haolin, and others changed their expression upon hearing this.


    They hadn¡¯t expected that Green Divine Sect, in order to recruit Yang Linger, would even promise the position of Sect Master.


    Yang Ling¡¯er, with her eyes full of spirit, said, ¡°If you want me to join your sect, that¡¯s fine, but only if you also let my brother join your sect. I want to cultivate together with my brother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and their brows furrowed.


    They had also investigated Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent, Twinbirth level eleven Martial Soul, which was not bad, but whenpared to Yang Ling¡¯er, it fell far behind.


    A Twinbirth level eleven Martial Soul wasn¡¯t worth the scramble by the ten Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    At this moment, Lan Yi, from behind Jiu Wu, let out augh with a snorting sound, ¡°You want us to recruit your brother as well? Your brother¡¯s talent may be decent in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, but to us, the ten Supreme Sects of the Empire, it¡¯s just mediocre.¡±


    As he spoke, his whole body surged with a brilliant glow, and behind him emerged a Martial Soul with a dragon¡¯s head, a tortoise¡¯s shell, and enormous ws. As soon as the Martial Soul appeared, everyone in Divine Sword City felt its astonishing might.


    ¡°Ba Xia!¡± Wu Qi said in a deep voice behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Of the nine sons of the dragon, Ba Xia was one of them.


    Lan Yi nced at Wu Qi, arrogantly stating, ¡°Correct, Ba Xia, one of the top-tier thirteen-level Martial Souls.¡± Then he looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Your Twinbirth level eleven Martial Soul may be the best in Divine Sword Academy,


    butpared to my Ba Xia, it¡¯s just ordinary.¡±


    With that, he opened his palm, and a strange blue me appeared above it.


    ¡°Blue Lotus me!¡± Wu Qi eximed in shock.


    ¡°Indeed, Blue Lotus me,¡± Lan Yi continued arrogantly, ¡°a top ten Abnormal Fire from the Abnormal Fire List.¡± He addressed Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I know you have a talent for alchemy, but without a top ten Abnormal Fire, you¡¯ll never be able to refine the ultimate Elixir. A pharmacist who can¡¯t refine an ultimate


    Elixir is only considered mediocre in our Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the opponent¡¯s Blue Lotus me, looking unperturbed, ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Although the Blue Lotus me was indeed a top ten Abnormal Fire from the Abnormal Fire List, it was barely at the tenth position and still ranked behind his Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    ¡°So, I¡¯m sorry, but if you want to join one of our ten Supreme Sects, you can only do so through the once-a-decade recruit assessment,¡± Lan Yi said condescendingly to Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Even if your sister has a level fourteen


    Martial Soul, we can¡¯t make an exception for you.¡±


    ¡°Even the descendants of our many ancestors have to pass the once-a-decade recruit assessment if they wish to join one of our ten Supreme Sects.¡±


    Seeing the arrogant manner of the other party, Yang Ling¡¯er was about to speak up when Yang Xiaotian started, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if I decide to enter any


    Supreme Sect, I¡¯ll do so through my own efforts, without relying on anyone.¡±


    ¡°Nor do I need to rely on anyone.¡±


    ¡°However, your Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, I don¡¯t even hold in high regard..¡±

 Chapter 104 - 104 True Dragon Divine Sect, I Hope You Keep Your Promise

    Chapter 104: True Dragon Divine Sect, I Hope You Keep Your Promise


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t care less about your Subduing Dragon Sect!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words left everyone present stunned.


    Following that, Lan Yi¡¯s face turned ashen. A mere Level Eleven Martial Soul dared to discredit their Subduing Dragon Sect!


    Just as he was about to speak, Jiu Wu shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother with him; he¡¯s just an ignorant ant.¡±


    In his eyes, the child was nothing but an eight-year-old, incapable of understanding what the Subduing Dragon Sect truly meant.


    Yang Xiaotian was just a frog in a well, from the unremarkable Divine Sword Academy.


    Zhang Haolin cleared his throat and said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Little guy, you¡¯ve got quite the backbone. If you want to join one of the Supreme Sects, do so through your own efforts. However, our top ten Supreme Sects aren¡¯t as easy to enter as you might think.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er replied indignantly, ¡°My brother is very powerful, even more than me.¡±


    Hearing this, the crowd chuckled.


    Zhang Haolin smiled and said, ¡°Your brother awakened his Martial Soul a year before you, and now he is indeed more powerful than you. Once you join one of our Supreme Sects for cultivation, you will quickly catch up to your brother and even surpass him!¡±


    ¡°You could be a saint or a deity in the future, but your brother, that might not be the case.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er was about to retort when Yang Xiaotian shook his head at his sister and then addressed Zhang Haolin, Jiu Wu, Chen Hansong, and the others, ¡°You all want my sister to join your Sects, but she¡¯s only one person; she can¡¯t possibly join three Sects at once.¡±


    ¡°How about letting my sister choose for herself?¡±


    Zhang Haolin, Jiu Wu, and Chen Hansong looked at each other and eventually nodded.


    ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t want to go,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said to Yang Xiaotian with a crying voice, reminding him of the little children going to kindergarten for the first time.


    ¡°You¡¯ll have to join a Sect for cultivation eventually,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied as he wiped the tears from the young girl¡¯s face. ¡°You can¡¯t follow brother, father, and mother forever.¡±


    He then said, ¡°In the future, brother wille to see you, okay?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll bring lots of tasty candies when Ie to visit you.¡±


    After a thorough and gentle persuasion, Yang Ling¡¯er finally nodded her head.


    ¡°Which Sect would you like to join?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Yang Ling¡¯er looked towards Jiu Wu, Zhang Haolin, and Chen Hansong.


    Ultimately, her gaze settled on both Zhang Haolin and Chen Hansong.


    Seeing this, Zhang Haolin said with a smile, ¡°Miss Ling¡¯er, if you join our True Dragon Divine Sect, no matter what candy you want, we can buy it for you.¡± ¡°Really!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s eyes shone brightly.


    ¡°Of course!¡± Zhang Haolin nodded with great certainty. ¡°I assure you.¡±


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll join the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er dered.


    At hearing this, Chen Hansong couldn¡¯t help but feel astonished. He could see that Yang Linger was initially more inclined towards their Green Divine Sect, but in the end, she changed her mind.


    He was inwardly vexed; had he known how tempting candy was to Yang Ling¡¯er, he would have promised her candy earlier.


    The masters of the True Dragon Divine Sect were overjoyed to hear Yang Ling¡¯er wanted to join them.


    ¡°Excellent!¡± Zhang Haolinughed heartily. ¡°Miss Ling¡¯er, by joining our True Dragon Divine Sect, we will certainly spare no effort in nurturing you.¡± The masters of the True Dragon Divine Sectughed loudly.


    When Yang Xiaotian saw his sister choosing to join the True Dragon Divine Sect, he was somewhat surprised, as he had originally thought she would choose the Green Divine Sect.


    After the unexpected turn of events, Yang Xiaotian came to a realization. It was good for his sister to join the True Dragon Divine Sect. In the future, he would also join the True Dragon Divine Sect, and then he could look after each other when living in the same Sect.


    Jiu Wu of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, upon seeing Yang Linger¡¯s choice to join the True Dragon Divine Sect, had an ugly look on his face and snorted coldly. He left with his disciple Lan Yi, breaking through the air and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.


    Before leaving, Lan Yi gave Yang Xiaotian and Yang Ling¡¯er an extra nce.


    In the end, Chen Hansong and the experts of the Green Divine Sect also left.


    Only Zhang Haolin and his people remained.


    Originally, Yang Xiaotian had wanted Yang Ling¡¯er to stay for a few more days before leaving, but Zhang Haolin thought it was best not to dy and decided to take Yang Linger back to the True Dragon Divine Sect as soon as possible.


    Finally, in the afternoon, Zhang Haolin and the experts of the True Dragon Divine Sect took Yang Ling¡¯er away.


    When leaving, Yang Ling¡¯er was crying so hard that her tears fell like rain.


    ¡°Girl, once you get to the True Dragon Divine Sect, you must practice hard,¡± said Yang Xiaotian to Yang Ling¡¯er. ¡°Later, your brother wille to see you.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er nodded resolutely, ¡°Brother, I will obey and practice diligently. I will be strong and then protect you and our parents.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Good, in the future, I will rely on you for protection.¡±


    Zhang Haolin smiled at Yang Linger and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once you join our True Dragon Divine Sect, you will soon be stronger than your brother, and then you will be able to protect him.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er then said goodbye to both Yang Chao and Huang Ying.


    Ultimately, Yang Ling¡¯er left with Zhang Haolin and the experts of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    As he left, Zhang Haolin was quite generous, giving both Yang Chao and Huang Ying a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones and twenty superb Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the twenty superb Four Symbols Spirit Pills and shook his head.


    To the Divine Sea Country, the twenty superb Four Symbols Spirit Pills were priceless treasures, but to the True Dragon Divine Sect, they were hardly worth mentioning. Zhang Haolin really was a bit stingy.


    Whether it was a blessing or a curse for his sister to join the True Dragon Divine Sect was yet to be determined.


    ¡°True Dragon Divine Sect, I hope you keep your word and fullymit to cultivating my sister,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered, looking in the direction Zhang


    Haolin had left in. ¡°If you let my sister suffer any grievances in the True Dragon


    Divine Sect, I will turn it upside down.¡±


    An astonishing Sword Qi surged up from Yang Xiaotian.


    The Sword Qi was indomitable, self-strengthening!


    Standing behind Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, feeling the unyielding Sword Qi emanating from him, said, ¡°Young Master, rest assured. If the True Dragon Divine Sect allows Miss Ling¡¯er to suffer, I, Wu Qi, will apany the Young


    Master in turning the True Dragon Divine Sect upside down. ¡±


    At the same time, he felt it was a pity for the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect and Green Divine Sect. These Supreme Sects had failed to recognize the true worth of a gem.


    The news that Yang Ling¡¯er had been taken away by a mighty expert from the True Dragon Divine Sect quickly spread throughout the Divine Sea Country.


    All the various forces in Divine Sea Country could not help but exim in surprise and envy.


    At the Yang Family Manor, Yang Ming was practicing his swordsmanship when suddenly a panting guard from the Manor came in to report that Yang Ling¡¯er had been taken away by a mighty expert from the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Yang Ming stood there stupefied, not even noticing his sword falling to the ground.


    His granddaughter, who had always been a thorn in his eye, had actually joined the True Dragon Divine Sect?


    The True Dragon Divine Sect, even on the vast Azure God Continent, was a behemoth. Joining the True Dragon Divine Sect, he was well aware of what that implied.


    ¡°Was I wrong?¡± mused Yang Ming, standing there numbly. He walked into his room, and he seemed to have aged considerably.


    At this moment, Yang Hai walked in from outside the courtyard and came up to Yang Ming, hesitantly saying, ¡°Father, shall we invite the second brother¡¯s family to move back in with us?¡±


    Yang Ming looked at Yang Hai, suddenly bursting into tears andughter, appearing almost crazed, ¡°Have your second brother and his family move back

 Chapter 105: Yang Xiaotian, I’ll Deal with You Gradually

    Chapter 105: Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ll Deal with You Gradually


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Hai was frightened by his father¡¯s seemingly insane behavior, ¡°Father, are you alright?¡±


    Yang Ming, as if he hadn¡¯t heard Yang Hai, continued tough and cry, ¡°Have your second brother and the others move back in!¡± Then, ignoring Yang Hai, he went straight back to his room.


    ¡°Have your second brother and the others move back in!¡±


    Inside the room, Yang Ming kept repeating to himself.


    Yang Hai watched his father, who seemed to have lost his mind, withplex feelings.


    Thinking of Yang Ling¡¯er, Yang Hai looked up to the sky, ¡°True Dragon Divine


    Sect. ¡±


    After Yang Linger was taken away, Yang Xiaotian returned to his normal routine, but he practiced his cultivation even more diligently than before, almost secluding himself day and night to cultivate.


    He practiced the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi, the Primordial Dragon Art.


    When practicing the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi for the first time, Yang Xiaotian had already stepped into the threshold of entry.


    After one day, he had reached the Small Sess stage.


    A few dayster, he barely managed to break through to Great Aplishment.


    Having cultivated the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi to Great Aplishment, Yang


    Xiaotian then stopped, although he also wished to master the Myriad Aspects Sword Qi to the Perfection Realm in one go, he knew that such Supreme Divine Powers couldn¡¯t be perfected in just ten days and a half month.


    On this particr day.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in the courtyard, in front of him was arge pile of medicinal ingredients, amounting to more than a hundred varieties.


    Despite mostly practicing swordsmanship these past few days, he had also been reviewing the forms for Treasure Pills.


    After several days of preparation, he decided to start Refining Treasure Pills today.


    There were seven kinds of Treasure Pills that could enhance True Yuan.


    The one he intended to refine was the most difficult Nine Suns Longevity Pill.


    Among all Treasure Pills that can enhance True Yuan, the Nine Suns Longevity Pill had the best effect.


    Suddenly, with a pinch of his fingers, two types of medicinal ingredients rose from the ground, and then, with a flick of his fingers, Yang Xiaotian sent two strands of Heaven and Earth Fire flying out, each twining around the two types of medicinal ingredients as they spun upward into the sky.


    With each rotation, the two types of medicinal ingredients melted a little more.


    By the time they had spun ten circles, the ingredients hadpletely melted, and the two strands of Heaven and Earth Fire had also dissipated just right.


    Such exquisite and precise control techniques were awe-inspiring.


    Many legendary Pharmacists in the imperial countries had spent a century studying alchemy and still could not achieve such precision.


    The two melted ingredients turned into liquid and dropped into the Medicine Cauldron.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian flicked his fingers again, and three more types of medicinal ingredients rose into the air.


    This time, he didn¡¯t control three strands of Heaven and Earth Fire but six, entwining around the three types of medicinal ingredients.


    Every two strands of Heaven and Earth Fire burned one type of medicinal ingredient.


    Because it was burned by two strands of Heaven and Earth Fire, the ingredients melted much faster than before.


    Soon, the three types of ingredients were melted into a liquid state and dropped into the Medicine Cauldron.


    The difficulty in refining the Nine Suns Longevity Pilly in the fact that among the hundred or so ingredients, sometimes two ingredients needed to bepletely melted at the same time before blending together.


    Sometimes three ingredients needed to be melted simultaneously.


    If they couldn¡¯t be melted at the same time, the pill would be difficult to formter.


    The most challenging part at the end of the process was to simultaneously melt more than a dozen ingredients.


    However, for Yang Xiaotian, this was still a piece of cake. He constructed a fire diagram with Heaven and Earth Fire, and under its cover, more than a dozen ingredients instantly melted into liquid and merged with the other ingredients.


    Seeing that all the ingredients had fused, Yang Xiaotian waved his palm, and


    Nine Phoenixes Golden me flew out. With each p of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me¡¯s wings, nine golden mes surged towards the Medicine Cauldron.


    Inside the Medicine Cauldron, the liquid from the hundred or so ingredients began to condense continuously.


    Within the Medicine Cauldron, the splendor grew increasingly vibrant.


    After the Nine Phoenixes Golden me had spread its wings for the ninth time, it suddenly stopped.


    Within the Medicine Cauldron, the steam of the medicinal essence that had been billowing forcefully halted abruptly.


    A few breathster, the Medicine Cauldron suddenly burst into brilliant light, illuminating the entire courtyard.


    The entire courtyard was filled with the fragrance of elixirs.


    Even a mere whiff invigorated Yang Xiaotian immensely.


    With a single breath of the medicinal aura, Yang Xiaotian felt a sweet taste in his mouth, and a sense offort spread through his organs.


    This was just a breath of medicinal aura, yet it had such an effect¡ªit was conceivable how powerful the actual elixir itself must be.


    At this moment, an elixir the size of a dragon¡¯s eye slowly flew out from the Medicine Cauldron.


    This elixir radiated flowing light; from afar, it seemed as if nine streaks of me were continuously circling inside it.


    The entire courtyard became brightly lit.


    Wu Qi, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, Luo Qing, Ate, Ali, and others were all drawn over by the brilliance of these nine mes.


    ¡°The exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill!¡± Wu Qi was stunned and could not help but exim upon seeing the elixir.


    The exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill!


    Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, Luo Qing, and the rest were deeply shocked.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the Nine Suns Longevity Pill before him, also revealed a smile.


    He hadn¡¯t expected to sessfully refine an exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill on his first try.


    He had thought that he would achieve, at most, a superior product on his first attempt.


    Noticing Wu Qi¡¯s excitement, Yang Xiaotian suddenly flicked a finger, and the Nine Suns Longevity Pill flew towards Wu Qi: ¡°Elder Wu, please be the first to take this exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill.¡±


    Wu Qi caught the Nine Suns Longevity Pill and asked in astonishment, ¡°For me, Young Master?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°You have suffered severe injuries, and your blood vessels are blocked. If you take this pill, your old wounds should heal, and your blood vessels will flow naturally.¡±


    Due to Wu Qi¡¯s serious injuries and blocked blood vessels, his vitality had been damaged, leaving him with a lifespan of only twenty or thirty years. If he could swallow the exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill, not only would his old wounds be cured, but his lifespan would also increase.


    Wu Qi, deeply moved by these words, bowed deeply: ¡°I thank the young master for his great kindness.¡±


    He had taken Nine Suns Longevity Pills before, but ordinary Nine Suns Longevity Pills were incapable of healing his old wounds.


    Only the exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill was effective.


    Yet, despite his decades-long search, he had never been able to find an exceptional Nine Suns Longevity Pill.


    ¡°We thank the young master for his great kindness,¡± Liu An and the other four also bowed deeply to Yang Xiaotian, faces filled with gratitude.


    They were aware of how their master had been troubled by his old wounds for many years.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he helped Wu Qi to his feet.


    In these days, Wu Qi had been giving guidance to his parents in their cultivation, and in his free time, he had been devotedly refining medicine for everyone, showing utmost dedication and effort.


    While Yang Xiaotian was refining the Nine Suns Longevity Pill, inside the Divine Sword Academy, Hu Xing was also frantically cultivating.


    The news that Tiandou Academy would be recruiting students half a year earlier had spread, and all the students from various academies in the neighboring countries were crazily cultivating in hopes of joining Tiandou Academy.


    Hu Xing sat cross-legged on his bed, his body twinkling with starlight; he was practicing an ancient and rare cultivation technique, the Myriad Forms Star Technique.


    The Myriad Forms Star Technique was the cultivation technique of a mighty power from an ancient empire.


    This technique, which he hade by in a stroke of fate, was being cultivated in secret; in the uing academypetition, he intended to amaze everyone with his prowess.


    Suddenly, the twinkling starlight around Hu Xing zed brilliantly, an astonishing aura sweeping out as four star cores, resembling stars, appeared above his head.


    After a long while, Hu Xing¡¯s body withdrew the starlight and he slowly opened his eyes, which momentarily shed with starlight.


    ¡°Finally, the Martial King fourth level!¡± Exhration spread across Hu Xing¡¯s face. He was determined to im first ce in Divine Sea Country¡¯s academypetition!


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, once I enter Tiandou Academy, I¡¯ll take care of you slowly and surely!¡±

    Trantor: 549690339


    Hu Xing walked out of the room.


    Gazing at the ascending brilliance of the morning sun, he felt it was exceptionally dazzling.


    Before this, he had no certainty about being number one in the Divine Sea Country¡¯s academypetition, but now after breaking through to the fourth level of Martial King, his confidence soared.


    At this moment, Li Qi, an Inner Court Student of the Divine Sword Academy, came in and reported to Hu Xing, ¡°Senior Brother Hu, big news, someone says that Yang Xiaotian is also going to participate in the Divine Sea Country academypetition.¡±


    Given Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current status and prestige within the Divine Sword Academy, the fact that Li Qi still followed Hu Xing showed his true loyalty.


    Hu Xing had once saved his parents.


    ¡°What, Yang Xiaotian is also joining? Are you sure?!¡± Hu Xing was greatly surprised upon hearing this.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve inquired about it, and many people are saying the same thing; it seems to be true, ¡± Li Qi said.


    Hu Xingughed loudly, ¡°Heaven is really helping me! Yang Xiaotian, I did not expect you to join this academypetition. Very well, this time, I will certainly not disappoint you!¡±


    At this point, the aura of a fourth-level Martial King swept out.


    Feeling the astonishing aura around Hu Xing, Li Qi eximed with joy, ¡°Senior


    Brother Hu, you¡¯ve broken through to the fourth level!¡±


    ¡°I had a stroke of luck and made the breakthroughst night,¡± Hu Xing said with a smile, his words tinged with pride and arrogance.


    Li Qi sped his hands together and said with a joyous smile, ¡°Congrattions, Senior Brother Hu, with you breaking through the fourth level, you¡¯re surely going to im the top spot in our Divine Sea Country this time.¡±


    Hu Xing responded with a modest smile, ¡°The result isn¡¯t out yet; it¡¯s too early to say.¡± Then he added with augh, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to be so impetuous, to actually join this academypetition!¡±


    Saying this, a strong killing intent brewed in his heart.


    Thinking about ughtering Yang Xiaotian left him extremely excited.


    Every academypetition includes a segment for hunting demons.


    Entering the Demon Hunting Ground will be the perfect opportunity to kill Yang Xiaotian.


    Killing Yang Xiaotian in the Demon Hunting Ground would leave no trail for others to investigate.


    Li Qi hesitated before saying, ¡°Senior Brother Hu, we still shouldn¡¯t take Yang Xiaotian lightly just because he is participating in the academypetition this time.¡±


    Hu Xing nced at Li Qi and said with a smile, ¡°Are you suggesting that Yang Xiaotian has hidden his true strength? Even if he has, I refuse to believe he is at the ninth or tenth level of Innate!¡±


    ¡°He awakened his Martial Soul less than a year ago; do you think he could have broken through to the ninth or tenth level of Innate?¡±


    Li Qi thought about it and agreed that the possibility was indeed very slim. Still, he cautioned, ¡°However, Yang Xiaotian must be confident in his own strength to join the academypetition this time; we must remain careful.¡±


    Hu Xingughed, ¡°Many students join the academypetition not necessarily aiming for the Divine Sea Country¡¯s top ten. Some participate just to train themselves through thepetition.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian probably wants to train himself through this academypetition as well.¡±


    Li Qi nodded. Each academypetition sees many disciples sign up to participate, with the vast majority seeking to use the event as a chance to train themselves and prepare for the nextpetition.


    If everyone waited until they felt strong enough, hoping to vie for the top ten of Divine Sea Country before signing up, then there wouldn¡¯t be nearly a hundred thousand people registering for eachpetition.


    And the news of Yang Xiaotian participating in this academypetition continued to spread.


    Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Cheng Long, and others all received the news.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is also joining this academypetition?¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Zihan clenched her teeth and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you just wait for thisdy!¡±


    ¡°In this academypetition, thisdy will take great pleasure in tormenting you, to avenge the shame from the Pharmacistpetition!¡± The resolve in Chen Zihan¡¯s voice was as firm as iron.


    Deng Yichun, Cheng Long, and others were no different.


    Especially Cheng Long, his hate for Yang Xiaotian was especially intense.


    After Jiang Yu returnedst time, he was kicked out of the sect the very next day!


    Being expelled from one¡¯s sect was an immense humiliation.


    Even his father, the king, had been much colder towards him these days.


    All of this was because of Yang Xiaotian.


    If it were not for Yang Xiaotian, how could he have ended up in such a plight?


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, in this life, it¡¯s either you or me, not both of us!¡± Cheng Long roared with hatred, his eyes bloodshot, ¡°When the Demon Hunting Groundes, I will tear you to pieces!¡±


    As the news spread that Yang Xiaotian was going to participate in this term¡¯s academypetition, disciples from various academies, families, and sects within Divine Sea Country were frantically cultivating. Even those who originally nned to wait for the next term¡¯spetition changed their minds and decided to participate in this term¡¯spetition.


    Seeing their disciples suddenly cultivating day and night, many family elders and sect leaders, while surprised, were extremely pleased.


    These youngsters had finally seen the light.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian, within his own courtyard, continued to train indoors with the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, Hundred Swords Technique, and Primordial Dragon Art.


    However, after cultivating the Myriad Aspects Sword Art, a supreme divine power, to great aplishment, Yang Xiaotian began cultivating the second supreme divine power, ¡°Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint.¡±


    This Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint, renowned for its invincibility, could reduce a mountain to powder with a single palm strike when cultivated to the pinnacle.


    Moreover, when the handprint struck the ground, its power would not dissipate for many years, which was why it was deemed indestructible.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully reviewed the Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint from beginning to end twice, operating his True Yuan ording to the method described, and then he struck out fiercely with his palm.


    With that palm strike, a golden palm imprint appeared in the air before him.


    The palm imprint seemed to have seared into the air and did not disappear for a long time.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure flickered, and he struck out another palm.


    This palm was faster, stronger, and shone with even brighter golden light.


    As Yang Xiaotian cultivated over several days,yers of golden light radiated from his body, and behind him, a huge image of a vajra emerged.


    Manifesting the image of the vajra was a sign of great aplishment in the Vajra Indestructible Handprint.


    Having achieved great aplishment with the Vajra Indestructible


    Handprint, Yang Xiaotian began cultivating the third supreme divine power,


    ¡°Heavenly Dragon Ten Sounds.¡±


    The Heavenly Dragon Ten Sounds was not a sword technique, nor was it a handprint or fist technique, but a supreme divine sound art.


    The Heavenly Dragon Ten Sounds, actually a supreme divine power of the Long n, mainly involved circting True Yuan and emitting sounds from the mouth for attacks.


    It was extremely difficult for members of the Human Race to sessfully cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Ten Sounds, but Yang Xiaotian, who had cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, found it much easier.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, circting his True Yuan, and when he opened his mouth, a dragon¡¯s roar echoed forth, transforming into ten musical notes that ploughed through the void, creating massive waves.


    In addition to cultivating the eleven supreme divine powers left behind by Cao Shun, Yang Xiaotian also re-forged a hundred longswords every day during his alchemy practice, enhancing all of them to the level of magical weapons.


    At the same time, he created a set of magical weapons for Luo Qing, Liu An, Liao Kun, and others.


    Every day, he took time out to be with his parents.


    However, a monthter, the medicinal ingredients for refining the Nine Suns Longevity Pill had already been used up, so Yang Xiaotian sent Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and Zhang Jingrong to purchase more in surrounding countries.


    Ten dayster, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and Zhang Jingrong returned covered in blood, each sustaining serious injuries, especially Luo Qing, whose injuries were the gravest. He was carried back by Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the others..

 Chapter 107 - 107 Tiandou Sword and Controlling Dragon Sword

    Chapter 107: Tiandou Sword and Controlling Dragon Sword


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°What happened?!¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Luo Qing¡¯s injuries, his expression icy cold.


    Luo Qing¡¯s dantian had suffered a heavy blow. If it hadn¡¯t been for his hard cultivation of the Wooden Emperor Skill during these days, his dantian would have likely shattered just as before.


    Although it wasn¡¯t shattered now, the dantian had suffered severe trauma.


    ¡°It was the Tuoluo Sect! We were ambushed by masters from the Tuoluo Sect on our way back!¡± Liao Kun said with hatred.


    ¡°They all had their faces covered, but we¡¯re sure they were masters from the


    Tuoluo Sect.¡± Zhang Jingrong also said resentfully, ¡°In addition to the Tuoluo Sect masters, there were also people from Tiandou Academy.¡±


    Tiandou Academy!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face darkened.


    Once again, Tiandou Academy!


    ¡°Was it He Qingzhe?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked coldly.


    Last time, He Qingzhe from Tiandou Academy sent people to harm his sister Yang Ling¡¯er, so Yang Xiaotian could not help but think of He Qingzhe.


    Zhang Jingrong shook her head: ¡°The enemies and the people from the Tuoluo Sect were all masked. We couldn¡¯t see who it was, but in the end, that person used a sword technique that was unmistakably Tiandou Sword Technique.¡± The Tiandou Sword Technique is one of the supreme divine powers of Tiandou


    Academy.


    ¡°Tiandou Sword Technique.¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    Such supreme divine powers like the Tiandou Sword Technique were only qualified to be learned by the core disciples of the inner court of Tiandou Academy, and that too, by the most core group among them.


    ¡°However, based on the person¡¯s strength, it shouldn¡¯t be He Qingzhe.¡± Liao


    Kun said, ¡°The person was at the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Ancestor


    Realm.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Now that they knew that the person was a core disciple of Tiandou Academy¡¯s inner court, could use the Tiandou Sword Technique, and had close ties with the Tuoluo Sect, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to investigate further.


    ¡°Young Master.¡± At this moment, Liao Kun hesitated, ¡°During the ambush, half of the medicinal materials that the Young Master asked us to buy were stolen.¡±


    This time, Yang Xiaotian had given them a million gold to purchase medicinal materials for refining the Nine Suns Longevity Pill, and now that half of it had been stolen, Yang Xiaotian had suffered a loss of five hundred thousand!


    Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other three all bowed their heads, their faces filled with guilt.


    Even Luo Qing said weakly, ¡°Young Master, we were ipetent in carrying out the task you entrusted to us.¡± As he spoke, he too lowered his head in shame.


    During these days, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s kindness to him was as heavy as a mountain; not only had he healed his dantian, but he had also imparted cultivation techniques to him and given him quality elixirs. Yet now, he had failed at the task entrusted to him by Yang Xiaotian.


    Five hundred thousand was no small amount.


    Even for the former Red Saber Sect, it wasn¡¯t a small sum.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°You don¡¯t have to me yourselves, your safe return is what truly matters.¡± Then he said, ¡°Five hundred thousand is nothing. When the timees, I will just sell a few quality elixirs.¡±


    Five hundred thousand was not a trivial amount for others, but for Yang Xiaotian at present, it was simply the value of a few quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    When Luo Qing and the others heard that Yang Xiaotian was not ming them, they felt even more remorse.


    Soon after, Yang Xiaotian gave Luo Qing and the others elixirs to heal their injuries, told them to go back and recover properly, and to ignore other matters for the time being.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned Wu Qi, Liu An, and a few other disciples to ask about the Tiandou Sword Technique.


    As for the Tiandou Sword Technique, his knowledge was limited.


    ¡°Tiandou Sword Technique is the signature technique left by the founding ancestor of Tiandou Academy,¡± Wu Qi exined, ¡°However, the Tiandou Sword Technique can only exhibit its greatest power when used in conjunction with the Tiandou Sword.¡±


    ¡°Tiandou Sword?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    Wu Qi nodded: ¡°The Tiandou Sword is one of the Heavenly Swords, ranked seventeenth on the Heavenly Sword Ranking. It¡¯s said to have been forged by an ancient powerhouse using Starfall Meteiron. When the Tiandou Sword is employed with the Tiandou Sword Technique, it can harness the power of the stars from the Nine Heavens; the might is extremely formidable. Sadly, Tiandou Academy has lost the Tiandou Sword.¡±


    ¡°What, the Tiandou Sword is lost?¡± Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised.


    In the Martial Soul World, there are Heaven-Prating Divine Swords and other ten major divine swords, and below the ten major divine swords are the Heavenly Swords.


    Although the power of the Heavenly Swords is not as great as the ten major divine swords, they are extremely close to the power of the ten major divine swords.


    There are only ten divine swords.


    However, there are over a hundred Heavenly Swords.


    These Heavenly Swords, just like the ten major divine swords, are swords that have invoked heavenly tribtion, endured through it, and sessfully passed the heavenly tribtion. However, due to certain reasons, their power is not as strong as that of the ten major divine swords.


    Divine swords are unattainable, so many sword dao experts pursue the


    Heavenly Swords as their goal.


    ¡°Yes, it was lost decades ago, ¡± Wu Qi said with a look of regret, ¡°Because the Tiandou Sword was lost, the strength of the Tiandou Academy was significantly affected. Over the years, the Tiandou Academy has been searching for the Tiandou Sword, but to no avail.¡±


    ¡°However, the Tiandou Academy still has one more Heavenly Sword,¡± Wu Qi suddenly said.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished, ¡°The Tiandou Academy has two Heavenly


    Swords?¡±


    Wu Qi said, ¡°The other Heavenly Sword of the Tiandou Academy is called the Controlling Dragon Sword, ranked seventy-first among the Heavenly Swords.¡± He added, ¡°But this Controlling Dragon Sword has a dragon soul sealed within it, and currently, no one in the Tiandou Academy can wield the Controlling Dragon Sword.¡±


    ¡°It is said that many of the Inner Court Students of the Tiandou Academy specially cultivate the Long n Technique in order to wield the Controlling Dragon Sword, but the Long n Technique is not so easy to sessfully cultivate.¡±


    Wu Qi shook his head.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind stirred.


    A dragon soul?


    His Primordial Dragon Art was the top-tier cultivation technique of the Ancient Dragon n, so it should be able to subdue the dragon soul in the sword, right?


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice alchemy, swordsmanship, and cultivate his Primordial Dragon Art in the courtyard.


    Every month, Yang Xiaotian would consume an excellent Nine Suns Longevity Pill.


    His strength was steadily progressing.


    And his Hundred Swords Technique became even more advanced.


    His Primordial Dragon Art was also steadily improving. After more than two months, the True Dragon Seed he had awakened reached ny-nine heads, giving him the strength of ny-nine True Dragons.


    When his True Dragon Seed awakened to one thousand heads, then he would truly possess the body of a True Dragon.


    ¡°True Dragon Body,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.


    ording to his current pace of cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, upon breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, he should be able to have the True Dragon Body.


    One day, while Yang Xiaotian was in the courtyard practicing the Hundred Swords Technique, Hall Master Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and also Lin Yong and Chen Yuan came to find him.


    ¡°Hall Master, everyone outside is talking, saying you are going to participate in the Divine Sea Country¡¯s academypetition?¡± Chen Changqing asked.


    The Divine Sea Academypetition was just a few days away.


    The rumors that Yang Xiaotian was going to participate in the academypetition were getting louder, and the several of them came together to confirm.


    ¡°Yes, I am going to participate in this academypetition,¡± Yang Xiaotian said. He had no reason to lie to them.


    ¡°Hall Master, have you thought it through?¡± He Le hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°To participate in the academypetition usually involves disciples above the seventh level of the Innate stage, and to seize the top ten spots, one must at least be at the Martial King Realm.¡±


    ¡°Why not wait for the next one?¡±


    Clearly, they were still worried about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to wait another three years.¡± He then smiled at Chen Changqing and Lin Yong, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there should be no one in this academypetition who can hurt me..¡±

 Chapter 108: He l s Probably Going to Harm the Hall Master

    Chapter 108: He l s Probably Going to Harm the Hall Master


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian saying that no one would be able to hurt him in the academy contest, Chen Changqing, Lin Yong, and others exchanged nces and smiled bitterly. At a time like this, their Hall Master still had the mood for jokes.


    Lin Yong said to Yang Xiaotian with a serious face, ¡°Hall Master, we have news that for this academy contest, there are over 140,000 disciples from Divine Sea Country registered to participate, and ny percent of them are at the Innate Seventh Layer.¡±


    ¡°There are thousands of disciples at the Innate Tenth Layer.¡± ¡°And there are six to seven hundred at the Martial King Realm.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°Six to seven hundred Martial Kings?¡±


    In the past, it was good to have three hundred at the Martial King Realm for Divine Sea Country¡¯s academy contest. This time there were six to seven hundred.


    Chen Changqing said with a bitter smile, ¡°More than two months ago, news about the Hall Master participating in the academy contest spread, which led many families, sects, and academy disciples of Divine Sea Country to register for participation. They all have been crazily cultivating day and night without leaving their homes.¡±


    ¡°So many of the disciples originally at the Innate Tenth Layer have broken through to the Martial King Realm.¡±


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°Oh, is that so? Well, that¡¯s great. I never thought that my registration for the academy contest would result in a few hundred more Martial Kings in our Divine Sea Country.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian unconcerned, Lin Yong added, ¡°We heard that a few months ago, Cheng Long was expelled from his master by Jiang Yu. Cheng Long bears a deep grudge against the Hall Master. He believes that his expulsion is all because of the Hall Master.¡±


    ¡°If the Hall Master participates in this academy contest, he will probably act against you.¡±


    In fact, not just Cheng Long, there were plenty of people who wished for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s death.


    Ordinarily, these people wouldn¡¯t dare to take action openly, but Yang Xiaotian¡¯s participation in the academy contest gave them the opportunity to do so.


    ¡°Oh, is that so.¡± Yang Xiaotianughed at the news that Cheng Long would be against him.


    ¡°Hall Master, Cheng Long is no simple opponent; he should be at the peak of the Martial King Triple Layer. Also, Yunhui Academy has always had a grudge against our Divine Sword Academy. If the Hall Master participates in the academy contest, the disciples from Yunhui Academy will probably also act against you,¡± Chen Yuan advised. ¡°During the academy contest, we must enter the Demon Hunting Ground, and we won¡¯t be able to ensure the Hall Master¡¯s safety.¡±


    ¡°I hope the Hall Master considers it seriously.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Chen Changqing, Lin Yong, and Chen Yuan, and smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve considered it very clearly already.¡±


    Seeing that Chen Changqing was about to speak again, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about the academy contest anymore.¡± He then took out a hundred Dortions of too-grade Foundation Building SDiritual Liauid and


    handed them to Lin Yong, ¡°As the Master of Sword Hall, I¡¯ve only been focused on rigorous sword cultivation during these days, and I couldn¡¯t mentor the academy students. Here are a hundred portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, a gift for the academy.¡±


    A hundred portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!


    Lin Yong and the others were astonished.


    ¡°Hall Master, this¡­ you¡¯ve already done enough for the academy. We haven¡¯t even used up the twenty portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid you gavest time,¡± Lin Yong refused, ¡°We can¡¯t take more from you.¡±


    But Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°Take it, please. If I can make it into the top ten in this academy contest and pass the assessment from Tiandou Academy, I will rarely return here after that.¡±


    Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and Chen Changqing exchanged nces, somewhat speechless.


    They were still worried about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s safety in this academy contest, yet there he was, already nning on making it to the top ten and then passing the assessment from Tiandou Academy.


    In the end, Lin Yong epted the hundred portions of top-grade Foundation


    Building Spiritual Liquid, expressing his gratitude to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Hall


    Master, on behalf of the academy students, I thank you.¡±


    A hundred portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid could improve many aspects of the academy.


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand, ¡°Let¡¯s not bother with formalities.¡±


    After a while, Chen Changqing and the others left.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and a few others, instructing them to prepare for a trip to the Royal City tomorrow.


    After all, the academy contest wasn¡¯t far off, and many family and sect disciples had already set out.


    Later, Yang Xiaotian also visited his parents¡¯ courtyard to inform them about his trip to the Royal City tomorrow. Upon returning from his parents¡¯ courtyard and passing by the Golden Armored Beast¡¯s yard, he saw Xiao Jin licking a super-sized lollipop inside.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but sweat.


    Ever since his sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, arrived more than two months ago, she imparted this particr hobby to Xiao Jin, the little one.


    Xiao Jin now couldn¡¯t live without sugar.


    ¡°Young Master,¡± Xiao Jin stood up quickly as he saw Yang Xiaotian approaching.


    Over the past few months, Xiao Jin had be quite fluent in speaking.


    ¡°How is the cultivation of the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palming along?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Xiao Jin had a great capacity forprehension, and within a few months, he had already cultivated several styles of fist and palm techniques.


    Recently, he had been practicing the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm.


    Xiao Jin nodded earnestly, ¡°Young Master, I have cultivated the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm to the Perfection Realm.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    He had only taught Xiao Jin this Innate Top Martial Technique, the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm, less than ten days ago, and Xiao Jin had already cultivated it to the Perfection Realm?


    ¡°Young Master, are we going to the Royal City tomorrow?¡± Xiao Jin suddenly asked: ¡°Does the Royal City also have a lot of candy?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°The Royal City does have a lot of candy.¡± Now, this little fellow, just like Ling¡¯er, hardly ever stopped talking about candy.


    ¡°But eating candy is bad for your teeth,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°and eating too much will make you fat.¡±


    Xiao Jin, however,ughed, ¡°My teeth are very sharp, and no matter how much


    I eat, I never get fat.¡±


    Indeed, that was the truth; as Xiao Jin continued his cultivation, his entire body became sharper, and his size remained the same as when Yang Xiaotian first met him.


    After leaving Xiao Jin¡¯s courtyard, Yang Xiaotian returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Tortoise and ck Dragon Martial Spirits hovered in the air, devouring the spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens.


    After breaking through to the Martial King Realm, the ck Tortoise and ck


    Dragon Martial Spirits underwent another transformation; the ck Tortoise Martial Soul¡¯s shell was covered in runes, looking from a distance like a piece of cknd hidden with countless mysteries.


    As for the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, its legs were thick and sharp, and its dragon eyes even had a me of gold.


    It was the first time that Yang Xiaotian had seen a dragon with golden mes in its eyes.


    The night passed uneventfully.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions began their journey.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian brought quite a few people with him: himself, his parents, Xiao Jin, Wu Qi, Liu An and his five disciples, Ate, Ali, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and Zhang Jingrong¡ªsix people in total.


    Seventeen people altogether.


    Considering the inconvenience for his parents, Yang Xiaotian purchased a luxurious carriage, while the others, more than a dozen, rode on horses.


    All the horses were exceptional top-quality steeds.


    However, Yang Xiaotian was not entirely satisfied with his mount; he had been secluding himself for arduous cultivation in Divine Sword City and hadn¡¯t had the chance to subdue a Mount Beast in the Red Moon Forest.


    Now, it could only be postponed until after the academy¡¯s grandpetition.


    After the end of the grandpetition, when he traveled to the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, he would take the opportunity to subdue two Mount Beasts in the Red Moon Forest.


    Watching Xiao Jin sitting atop the Dragon Horse, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but find it amusing.


    A dragon beast sitting on a horse was somewhat odd.


    The group proceeded on their way.


    As they passed a three-way intersection on a mountain road, they encountered people from Yunhui Academy.


    Leading the group was none other than the headmaster of Yunhui Academy, Cai Hao, and vice headmaster Luo Junpeng.


    Behind Luo Junpeng followed Deng Yichun and a group of Yunhui Academy students. There were nearly a hundred people, all of whom appeared to be the inner court students of Yunhui Academy participating in the Divine Sea Country¡¯s academypetition this time..

 Chapter 109: What, you want to get the medicinal materials back?

    Chapter 109: What, you want to get the medicinal materials back?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, and others looked at Yang Xiaotian, their expressions varied, some surprised.


    ¡°So it¡¯s Hall Master Yang,¡± Cai Hao greeted Yang Xiaotian from afar with a smile. ¡°Hall Master Yang, such a young hero. Since the Pharmacistpetition, I have had nothing but admiration for you.¡±


    Cai Hao¡¯s smile was full-faced as he looked at Yang Xiaotian, appearing very sincere and enthusiastic.


    Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°So it¡¯s Dean Cai.¡±


    Cai Hao turned to the students of Yunhui Academy behind him and said, ¡°What are you waiting for? Pay your respects to Hall Master Yang.¡±


    ¡°Greetings to Hall Master Yang!¡± Deng Yichun and the group of students called out loudly.


    Then, Cai Hao said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Hall Master Yang must be headed to the Royal City for the Academypetition. We are also going to the Royal City for thepetition. Since it¡¯s on the way, why don¡¯t we go together?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, ¡°No need. ¡®Pathways differ; do not seek to guide¡¯.¡± Having said that, he left with Wu Qi and the others.


    Xiao Jin rode past Cai Hao on his horse, nced at Cai Hao, then licked his giant lollipop with a slurping sound.


    Cai Hao watched as the figures of Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Jin, and the others receded, his smile gradually fading away.


    He did not expect that he, the Dean of Yunhui Academy, extending an invitation to Yang Xiaotian, would be outright rejected.


    In front of all the Yunhui Academy students, it was somewhat embarrassing for him.


    Luo Junpeng said coldly, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, he¡¯s be incredibly arrogant. Half a year ago, what was he? ¡±


    Half a year ago, Yang Xiaotian was just an ordinary first-year student at Divine Sword Academy.


    Deng Yichun watched as Yang Xiaotian departed, with mixed emotions.


    Being arrogant is normal,¡± Cai Hao said. ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be arrogant with such Sword Dao talent and Alchemy talent? And, who has a sister even more formidable and terrifying than himself?¡±


    ¡°A level fourteen Martial Soul,¡± he eximed. ¡°I heard the King intends to confer the title of Duke upon his father and appoint his mother as a first-ssdy.¡±


    The Kingdom¡¯s nobility includes Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, Barons, and Bars.


    A Duke is the highest rank among all titles, and a first-ssdy is the highest rank among mandateddies.


    ¡°A Duke! A first-ssdy!¡± Deng Yichun and the others couldn¡¯t help but be greatly shocked.


    Many families have fought for the Divine Sea Country their entire lives, contributing a great deal, yet never attaining a Duke title. Yet the King was nning to directly confer the title of Duke upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s father and first-ssdy upon his mother?


    ¡°This, isn¡¯t it inappropriate?¡± Deng Yichun blurted out, feeling quite unjust about it.


    Last year, his master and his family had sought a mere Baron title for him, but the King had said to decide upon itter.


    ¡°In this world, there is no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate,¡± Cai Hao said, looking at Deng Yichun¡¯s dissatisfied expression. ¡°There are only reasons and no reasons.¡±


    ¡°Inappropriateness is a matter for the weak.¡±


    He then sighed, ¡°Who made it so that Yang Chao¡¯s family has a daughter with a level fourteen Martial Soul?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re just born lucky.¡±


    Understanding that being considered inappropriate was a matter for the weak, Deng Yichun¡¯s expression still did not look great.


    Cai Hao then said to the students of Yunhui Academy, ¡°If you want to fight for a good noble title, for a great future, you must give it your all in this Academypetition.¡±


    ¡°Especially when you enter the Demon Hunting Ground, ¡®if you encounter gods, kill gods; if you encounter demons, kill demons!!¡±


    These words had a pointed implication.


    Cai Hao added, ¡°Let me tell you, the first ce in this Academypetition, Desides arge number or spirit stones, secret ¡®romes, precious weapons, ancl Treasure Pills, will also include a Baron title!¡±


    Upon hearing Cai Hao¡¯s words, Deng Yichun and the students were invigorated.


    ¡°Dean, are you saying that the first ce in this Academypetition will be granted a Baron title?!¡± Deng Yichun asked with joy.


    ¡°Correct,¡± Cai Hao said with a smile. ¡°This was just decided by the King, and only very few people know about it. It will be announced in a couple of days.¡± Deng Yichun¡¯s eyes were resolute upon hearing the news.


    After leaving with Wu Qi and others, Yang Xiaotian traveled continuously without stopping as night slowly fell.


    Considering his parents, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions decided to set up camp to rest and continue their journey the next day.


    A campfire was lit.


    Yang Chao sat by the fire and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, that was Dean Cai Hao from Yunhui Academy during the day, wasn¡¯t it? Aren¡¯t you worried that publicly snubbing him might have consequences?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian simplyughed, ¡°When we act, we just need to follow our hearts. If we don¡¯t wish to do something, we don¡¯t do it. There¡¯s no need to worry about anything else.¡±


    Yang Chao was inwardly shaken as he looked at his son.


    Watching the mes of the campfire illuminate Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, Yang Chao nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve lived many extra years as your father, yet I don¡¯t see things as clearly as you do.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian just smiled.


    At that moment, they saw Dean Cai Hao from Yunhui Academy and others following them.


    Since there were only two mountain roads leading to the Royal City, it was normal to run into them again.


    Cai Hao¡¯s face showed some unease upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again, but he still came over to greet him.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian and his group set off again.


    By afternoon, they had arrived at the Royal City.


    Looking at the towering city walls of the Royal City, Yang Chao felt a surge of excitement. He had dreamed countless times of visiting the Royal City to see the capital of Divine Sea Country. Now, his wish of many years was finally fulfilled.


    Huang Ying felt the same.


    For the citizens of the country, the capital held a special ce in their hearts.


    Upon entering the city and considering how hard it was to find avability in the inns, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing and Liao Kun look for an inn ahead of time.


    However, after a long while, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and a few others came back, reporting that they couldn¡¯t find any inn. With the imminent collegepetition, every inn and hostel was already full to the brim.


    ¡°Then we¡¯ll go to the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s annex,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.


    Divine Sword Academy had an annex in the Royal City, but the courtyard was notrge, so everyone would have to squeeze in a bit.


    However, as they were on their way to the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s annex and passing through a bustling street, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and others suddenly changed their expressions and red hatefully at a group of people up ahead.


    The grouping from the opposite direction also stopped in their tracks. Upon seeing Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others, they showed a murderous intent in their eyes.


    ¡°Young Master, those are people from Tuoluo Sect,¡± Luo Qing informed Yang Xiaotian.


    The Tuoluo Sect?


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the group of fifty or sixty people before him.


    He had not expected that the Tuoluo Sect would also attend the Divine Sea Country¡¯s collegepetition, but it seemed they were not here for thepetition itself, but rather in pursuit of Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and several others.


    As Yang Xiaotian had suspected, they were indeed there for Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others.


    After their inquiries, they spected that Luo Qing and Liao Kun were hiding in Divine Sea Country, and hade to the Royal City amidst the collegepetition, hoping to locate them.


    Deputy Sect Master Lin Tao of the Tuoluo Sect looked at Luo Qing and the others, sneering, ¡°Luo Qing, I bet you didn¡¯t expect to run into us here. You escaped usst time, but this time, let¡¯s see how you run.¡±


    Then he turned his scornful gaze to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re a sect master. Since when did you start serving as ackey for this ¡®young master¡¯?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian stared at Lin Tao, ¡°Last time, I had Luo Qing and others purchase medicinal herbs. Those were the herbs you robbed, weren¡¯t they?¡±


    Lin Tao, sensing the hostility in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tone,ughed heartily, ¡°That¡¯s right, boy, it was us who stole them. What, you want to reim the herbs? Too bad, I am sorry to say, we¡¯ve used them all up.¡± The elites of Tuoluo Sect burst outughing..

    Comes


    Trantor: 549690339


    Watching the group of Tuoluo Sect experts burst intoughter, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained indifferent, ¡°A mere five hundred thousand medicinal materials, I am not stooping to ask for them back, what I want are your lives.¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, Lin Tao¡¯sughter ceased, and he looked at


    Yang Xiaotian coldly, ¡°Kid, I don¡¯t care which family you belong to in Divine


    Sea Country, offending our Tuoluo Sect, no one can save you.¡±


    ¡°I advise you to bow and apologize nicely, and hand over Luo Qing and the others to us, so you can still spare your life.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, even within this Royal City, I¡¯ll still kill you!¡±


    As soon as Lin Tao finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cold voice rang out, ¡°Kill!


    Suddenly, Liu An and the other four soared into the sky.


    Following that, Luo Qing unleashed a sh with his sword.


    Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, along with five others, also released chilling Sword Qi.


    As for Ate and Ali, they both rushed towards the Tuoluo Sect experts.


    Even Xiao Jin swept its golden tail, attacking with the momentum of sweeping through thousands of troops, toward the Tuoluo Sect experts.


    The members of the Tuoluo Sect didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian tounch an attack within the Royal City without any hesitation.


    Lin Tao suddenly thrust out with his sword toward Liu An and the others, meanwhile shouting angrily, ¡°Kill them all for me, chop off that kid¡¯s head!¡±


    All of the Tuoluo Sect experts made their moves, many confronting Ate, Ali, and Luo Qing, Liao Kun, with many rushing towards Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, Huang Ying.


    However, before these Tuoluo Sect experts could reach Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and Huang Ying, they were turned into ice sculptures by Wu Qi¡¯s giant wooden staff.


    Seeing more than a dozen Tuoluo Sect experts turned into ice sculptures before even reaching Yang Xiaotian, Lin Tao¡¯s expression changed.


    The Tuoluo Sect experts he had brought with him were all strong, and he himself couldn¡¯t turn these Tuoluo Sect experts into ice sculptures in one move.


    He turned his gaze towards Wu Qi, and at the same time took a nce at Wu Qi¡¯s giant wooden staff.


    This giant wooden staff, he seemed to have heard of it somewhere before.


    As Lin Tao was distracted, Liu An made a quick thrust with his sword, piercing Lin Tao¡¯s right arm in an instant.


    ¡°Martial Ancestor Eightfold!¡± Lin Tao looked at Liu An, his face changing.


    This seemingly dull middle-aged man was actually a Martial Ancestor Eightfold expert!


    Much stronger than Luo Qing by many bounds.


    ¡°Who are you? Which sect do you belong to?¡± Lin Tao asked urgently while blocking Liu An¡¯s attacks.


    He could tell that Liu An and the other four came from the same master, probably brothers.


    Liu An did not speak, and as he thrust his long sword, the Sword Qi shot out like a meteor, its formidable power startling Lin Tao.


    At that moment, a scream was heard as a Tuoluo Sect expert was struck by Xiao Jin, thrown a great distance, and when he hit the ground, his entire ribcage was caved in, with countless ribs broken, able to exhale but not inhale.


    On the other hand, Ate and Ali, with their fists and joint effort, sent a Tuoluo Sect expert flying dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.


    The Tuoluo Sect expert that was sted away had two terrifying fist holes in his chest.


    Clearly, he would not survive.


    Ate and Ali were just half a step away from reaching the Martial King Realm, but when they worked together, they outmatched any ordinary Martial King Realmbatants.


    Lin Tao realized that their sixty or so Tuoluo Sect members werepletely at a disadvantage.


    As the battle raged, the Tuoluo Sect lost more and more members, either getting sted away, impaled in the throat with a sword, or sliced in half by a single cut.


    Seeing this, Lin Tao¡¯s heart sank even further.


    Before long, out of the sixty Tuoluo Sect members, less than half remained.


    Just then, the ground shook.


    At the end of the street, arge group of Royal City Guards soldiers surged towards them.


    Upon seeing the approaching Royal City Guards soldiers, Lin Tao¡¯s face brightened with joy.


    ¡°Brother Cheng Long, save me!¡± Lin Tao shouted from a distance, suddenly bursting out.


    The one who led the Royal City Guards over was not only a Royal Citymander but also Cheng Long.


    Cheng Long, when he heard Lin Tao¡¯s cries for help and saw it was Lin Tao, was quite surprised, but his face darkened upon seeing Yang Xiaotian.


    Soon, Cheng Long and the others arrived.


    Desperate, Lin Tao rushed to Cheng Long, about to speak, but then he saw Cheng Long ring at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you actually dare to murder in the Royal City!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because you are the Sword Hall Master of Divine Sword


    Academy, you can do whatever you want!¡±


    ¡°And don¡¯t think just because you have a good sister, we won¡¯t dare to punish you!¡±


    Upon hearing that the boy before him was Yang Xiaotian, the Sword Hall


    Master of Divine Sword Academy, Lin Tao¡¯s face drastically changed¡ªit was him!


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the furious Cheng Long, yet remained calm and collected, ¡°They tried to kill me, I was merely defending myself. The Royal City doesn¡¯t forbid self-defense, does it?¡±


    Cheng Long¡¯s face was grim as he pointed angrily at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You say you were defending yourself, who can prove it?¡±


    To his surprise, a family expert from a distance called out, ¡°We can prove that


    Lord Divine Yang was only defending himself!¡± ¡°Indeed, Lord Divine Yang was merely defending himself just now!¡±


    Many experts from the crowd began to shout.


    Lin Tao¡¯s face turned ashen.


    Damn it.


    It was clearly Yang Xiaotian who had someone attack first.


    These people, they were tantly lying!


    He couldn¡¯t help but curse inwardly.


    However, he also knew that with these people tantly lying, there was nothing Cheng Long could do to Yang Xiaotian, but then again, even without these people lying, Cheng Long might not be able to do anything to Yang Xiaotian either.


    Just by the fact that Yang Xiaotian was the Sword Hall Master of Divine Sword Academy, the Divine Sea royal family would unlikely offend Yang Xiaotian over the Tuoluo Sect.


    Not to mention that Yang Xiaotian had a sister from the True Dragon Divine Sect behind him.


    If she were just an ordinary disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect, it might be another story, but the key is, his sister is now the darling of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Cheng Long gave a cold look to the group of experts in the distance, then turned his icy gaze back to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t get too smug.¡± When we get to the Demon Hunting Ground, you won¡¯t be smirking anymore.


    Eventually, he left with the Royal City Guards.


    As for Lin Tao and the remaining Tuoluo Sect experts, they quickly followed Cheng Long with the corpse of the in disciple and left.


    ¡°Young master,¡± Luo Qing came up behind Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Should we do something about the Tuoluo Sect people?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they won¡¯t live until tomorrow,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, and then led the group to the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s branch.


    Upon arrival, they saw that Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others had already arrived.


    This time around seventy or eighty students signed up for the academypetition. Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were leading the team, but they did not travel with Yang Xiaotian and had arrived two days earlier.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, Lin Yong quickly made arrangements for Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and the others.


    Before long, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan got wind of the conflict between Yang Xiaotian and the Tuoluo Sect and could only shake their heads and chuckle bitterly.


    That night.


    Within a certain mansion, Lin Tao and Cheng Long were drinking sullenly.


    Thinking of the day¡¯s events, Lin Tao was filled with frustration and rage, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Luo Qing, that guy, to actually defect to Yang Xiaotian. Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡±


    Cheng Long took arge gulp of wine, ¡°It¡¯s just Yang Xiaotian, so what if it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian? He¡¯s just got a somewhat better Martial Soul talent, Sword Dao talent, and Alchemy talent than ordinary people, that¡¯s all.¡± Saying this, he added fiercely, ¡°In this academypetition, I¡¯ll make sure he doesn¡¯te back!¡±


    ¡°Right now he¡¯s unting his power because he has a tew experts by his side. Just wait until we enter the Demon Hunting Ground. Without his experts around, he can cry to the heavens but no help wille, he can cry to the earth but it won¡¯t listen. He¡¯ll end up wetting his pants.¡±


    (Tonight is New Year¡¯s Eve, I wish everyone a family reunion, good health, and great wealth in theing year. Updates will resume as usual tomorrow, on the first day of the New Year..)

 Chapter 111: Wen Jingyi Slandered

    Chapter 111: Wen Jingyi ndered


    Trantor: 549690339


    Lin Tao said to Cheng Long, ¡°Brother Cheng Long, participating in the academy¡¯s grandpetition, you will most certainly im the title of number one in Divine Sea Country this time and pass the Tiandou Academy assessment smoothly. ¡±


    Cheng Long chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure about being first, but I¡¯m confident about being in the top three.¡± As he said this, he released his aura. It was indeed the peak of the fourthyer of the Martial King Realm.


    Lin Tao was greatly surprised.


    The outside world rumored that Cheng Long was at the peak of the thirdyer of the Martial King Realm, but Cheng Long¡¯s true realm was actually the peak of the fourthyer of the Martial King Realm. Although it was only one small realm difference, the strength between the two was vastly disparate.


    In the Martial King Realm, a small realm difference is quite significant.


    ¡°I never expected Brother Cheng Long to be at the peak of the fourthyer of the Martial King Realm!¡± Lin Tao eximed with admiration, ¡°With Brother Cheng Long¡¯s strength, not to mention the top three, you will definitely im the title of number one in Divine Sea Country this time!¡±


    Just now, when he said Lin Tao could be number one in Divine Sea Country, he was just being polite, but now, he truly meant it.


    Cheng Long humbly smiled and said, ¡°I concealed my strength, and others might have done so as well. It will be enough for me to capture the top three spots in Divine Sea Country this time.¡±


    The two sat for a while longer and drank a bit more before Cheng Long took his


    Before leaving, he assured Lin Tao that it was safe for him to stay in his manor; it was absolutely secure, and there was nothing to worry about.


    After Cheng Long had left, an Elder from the Tuoluo Sect said, ¡°Deputy Sect Master, with so many of our disciples killed by Yang Xiaotian, we cannot let this go so easily.¡±


    Lin Tao¡¯s eyes filled with murderous intent, ¡°Of course we can¡¯t just let it go like this. Even if we can¡¯t kill Yang Xiaotian, we must have someone assassinate his parents to avenge our deceased disciples!¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°However, unfortunately, you won¡¯t have that chance.¡±


    A cold voice rang out.


    The voice was sudden, startling both Lin Tao and the Tuoluo Sect Elder.


    Both whirled around only to see Wu Qi emerge, leaning on arge wooden staff.


    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Upon recognizing Wu Qi, they were about to draw their swords, but just as they were about to do so, a terrifying pressure enveloped them. Under this terrible pressure, they felt as if a weighty mountain was crushing down on them, making it hard to breathe, and even their movements slowed down significantly.


    ¡°Martial Emperor!¡± The two looked at Wu Qi in horror.


    And besides, the elder before them was definitely not an ordinary Martial Emperor.


    They had seen many Martial Emperors; none had such an imposing pressure.


    Unless he was a Supreme Emperor.


    ¡°I have said that you do not have this chance,¡± Wu Qi said indifferently. He did not summon the Soul Ring but simply waved hisrge wooden staff, and instantly, a surge of dark green light burst forth.


    Lin Tao and the Tuoluo Sect Elder were filled with terror as they frantically circted their True Yuan and drew their swords with all their might to strike.


    However, as soon as their swords were drawn, they were engulfed by the dark green light.


    The dark green light instantly covered their entire bodies. Lin Tao and the Elder watched in fear as their sword-wielding arms were instantly frozen, then the rest of their bodies began to stiffen, go numb, and eventually lost all sensation.


    They watched helplessly as a terrifying chill continually eroded their bodies until the world in their eyes turnedpletely dark green.


    Wu Qi looked at the ice sculptures that were Lin Tao and the Elder, and with a mere wave of hisrge wooden staff, shattered both into countless ice fragments scattered across the ground.


    After killing the two, Wu Qi¡¯s figure flickered and vanished from the spot.


    The next day, Cheng Long arrived at the manor, looking at the bodies of Lin Tao and the others, his face dreadfully somber.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you are courting death!¡± Cheng Long¡¯s voice was chillingly cold.


    No need to think, the death of Lin Tao and others must be rted to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian actually dared to kill people in his own residence!


    Yang Xiaotian, I will make you understand what are the consequences of offending me! Cheng Long clenched his fists, as if intending to crush Yang Xiaotian.


    And the news of the Tuoluo Sect masters being killed in Cheng Long¡¯s residence has also caused quite a stir.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored the outside world, focusing instead on quietly cultivating the Hundred Swords Technique in a separate courtyard of the Divine Sword Academy.


    Now, the Hundred Swords Technique had been perfected, and his task was to cultivate each of the Hundred Swords Technique to the realm of Summit Mastery.


    In the past few months, he had already cultivated over thirty of the Hundred Swords Technique to the Summit Mastery realm.


    In the courtyard, Sword Qi permeated the air, resembling rain, wind, dragons, and phoenixes at times.


    After a disy of his skills, Yang Xiaotian stopped.


    Still, the separate courtyard of the Divine Sword Academy was too small; he couldn¡¯t unleash his full potential.


    After practicing his swordsmanship for a while, Luo Qing came in to report to Yang Xiaotian the current situation in the Royal City.


    After Luo Qing finished his report, he felt that there was another matter that needed to be reported to Yang Xiaotian, and added, ¡®Young Master, I also found out that Wen Jingtao is going to harm Miss Wen Jingyi.¡±


    ¡°The Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s caravans have been robbed six times in thest two years. Wen Jingtao, in collusion with several elders of the Guild, framed Miss Wen Jingyi, iming that she conspired with the bandits.¡±


    ¡°They are asking for the dismissal of her position as an elder and for her to be imprisoned to root out the truth.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression turned cold.


    Last time he killed the Blood Saber Gang Leader and obtained another


    Heavenly Dragon Saber from him, along with many letters that served as evidence of Wen Jingtao colluding with the Blood Saber Gang Leader to rob the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s caravans.


    He hadn¡¯t expected Wen Jingtao to now turn around and use Wen Jingyi of conspiring with the bandits.


    ¡°Wen Jingtao.¡± Yang Xiaotian sneered. He had not yet settled his score with Wen Jingtao and Wen Qin, that busty fool, over thest incident, and now these two were causing trouble again.


    Well, if that¡¯s the case, then he should pay a visit to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    ¡°What about now?¡± he asked Luo Qing.


    ¡°Right now the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s head is gathering all the elders to discuss the matter of Miss Wen Jingyi¡¯s collusion with bandits,¡± Luo Qing said.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, nced at the sky, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild now. Inform Elder Wu that if I do not return within an hour, he should make his way to the main branch of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.¡±


    Luo Qing agreed, then said, ¡°Young Master, why don¡¯t we apany you there?¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± After speaking, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed, and he left the courtyard, put on the Dragon Head Mask, and arrived at the main branch of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    At that moment, inside the Inner Hall of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s main branch, Wen Fei, the head of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, sat in the hall with Wen Jingtao, Wen Jingyi, and others. Wen Jingtao, as the Great Elder, sat next to Wen Fei, while Wen Jingyi, who had recently joined the Council of Elders, sat at the lowest end.


    Wen Jingtao took out a letter and said to Wen Fei, ¡°Head, this is evidence of


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s collusion with the bandits.¡±


    ¡°She has leaked our caravan¡¯s information to the bandits, causing our Guild to be robbed six times in the past two years, with losses nearing a million gold. I urge the head to imprison Wen Jingyi and to recover the Guild¡¯s losses.¡± After speaking, he handed the letter to Wen Fei to look at.


    Before Wen Fei finished reading, another elder, filled with righteous indignation, angrily pointed at Wen Jingyi, ¡°Wen Jingyi, you are from the Wen family, yet you collude with bandits!¡±


    ¡°You caused the Guild to lose nearly a million gold. Tell us, why did you do this!¡±


    The other few elders also used Wen Jingyi one after another.


    The remaining two elders remained silent.


    Wen Jingyi coldly nced at Wen Jingtao and the others, then said to Wen Jingtao, ¡°Who knows where you got this letter; you just write up a letter and use me of leaking information to bandits.. If it¡¯s like that, could I not also write up a letter and im you are the one colluding with the bandits?¡±

 Chapter 112 - 112 Wen Jingtao Exposed

    Chapter 112: Wen Jingtao Exposed


    Trantor: 549690339


    Wen Jingtao sneered, ¡°Wen Jingyi, you actually dare to quibble.¡±


    Just then, Wen Fei suddenly said, ¡°This is indeed not Wen Jingyi¡¯s handwriting.¡± He then pointed at the letter and said, ¡°This letter was written by someone imitating Jingyi¡¯s handwriting. I have studied Jingyi¡¯s handwriting.¡± ¡°There are several ces that can prove it, such as the character for ¡®wind¡¯ in


    this letter. when Jingyl writes the character ¡®wind¡¯ , It¡¯s very gentle, but the ¡®wind¡¯ character in this letter has no sense of gentleness whatsoever.¡±


    ¡°This letter was written by a man.¡±


    Wen Fei¡¯s words astonished Wen Jingtao and the others.


    Nobody had expected that Wen Fei would have studied Wen Jingyi¡¯s handwriting so seriously.


    But why would a grown man study a girl¡¯s handwriting?


    ¡°Even if it wasn¡¯t written by Wen Jingyi, she could have ordered one of her subordinates to write it,¡± Wen Jingtao still argued.


    But Wen Fei shook his head and said, ¡°This letter cannot prove that Jingyi wrote it, nor can it prove that she had her subordinates write it.¡±


    Actually, he could see some things quite clearly.


    Just then, suddenly, he looked towards the corner.


    Only to see that in the dark corner of the grand hall, a dark figure had appeared at some unknown time.


    ¡°Who?!¡± Wen Jingtao and the others turned their attention to the dark figure, startled.


    At that moment, the figure in the shadows stepped forward.


    When they saw Yang Xiaotian wearing a Dragon Head Mask, Wen Jingyi¡¯s pretty face lit up with surprise, ¡°Lord Long!¡±


    Upon hearing that it was the mysterious Pharmacist Lord Long, Wen Fei and the others were shocked and hurriedly stood up.


    Lord Long was now considered the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s ultra-lucky god of wealth.


    ¡°I am Wen Fei, the head of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild. May I inquire if you are Lord Long?¡± Wen Fei bowed with sped hands, ¡°If we have offended you just now, we hope Lord Long will forgive us.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not bother with pleasantries, I have some Elixirs here that I want to sell to your Guild, but I wonder if your Guild can take them.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the head of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Wen Fei, immediately felt his blood surge with excitement, his voice trembling slightly, ¡°May I ask what Elixirs Lord Long wishes to sell?¡±


    Last time, Yang Xiaotian had sold ten supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    It raised the entire Guild¡¯s prestige by a notch.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words just now, could it be that this time, he was going to sell twenty supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild?


    The other Elders were also excited,


    Including Wen Jingtao.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian took out twenty jade bottles and ced them on the table.


    Looking at the twenty jade bottles in front of him, Wen Fei¡¯s heartbeat quickened.


    Could it be that, just as he had guessed, Lord Long was going to sell twenty supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixirs to their Guild this time?


    Wen Fei¡¯s hands trembled as he opened the first jade bottle.


    As the bottle opened, faint sounds of beastly roars could be heard.


    The mouth of the jade bottle shimmered with radiant light.


    Within the glow, there seemed to be the shadows of four Divine Beasts.


    Seeing these four Divine Beast shadows, Wen Fei¡¯s body shuddered, could it be that the jade bottle contained¡ª?


    He felt his head rush with blood, excitedly peering into the bottle, and upon seeing the Elixir inside, he trembled, ¡°Four Symbols Spirit Pill!¡± Four Symbols Spirit Pill!


    And they were supreme-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills!


    When Wen Jingtao and the others heard that the jade bottles contained Four Symbols Spirit Pills, they too hurried forward to look.


    They stared at the Elixir inside, dumbfounded.


    It turned out to be the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, the best Elixir in the Innate ss for enhancing True Yuan, and it was supreme-grade!


    Premium Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, they knew the Tiandou Imperial Family had a collection, but even the Tiandou Imperial Family did not possess Premium Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.


    As elders of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, how could they not understand the significance of the Premium Dragon-Tiger Elixirs?


    It was precisely because they understood that they were so shocked, stunned.


    Moreover, if one of the jade bottles contained a Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pill, what about the other neen jade bottles, could it be?


    Wen Fei opened the second jade bottle excitedly.


    When the second jade bottle was opened, the same dazzling light burst out, the same images of the four divine beasts. Then came the third jade bottle.


    The fourth jade bottle.


    As the jade bottles were opened one by one, Wen Fei could hear his heartbeat getting louder and more intense.


    So could Wen Jingtao and the others.


    In the great hall, there were more than a dozen hearts pounding with sudden vibration.


    When all twenty jade bottles were fully opened, Wen Fei, the Head of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, could hardly stand steady.


    Twenty Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills!


    Even seasoned elders like Wen Jingtao, who had seen great events, lost theirposure at the sight of twenty Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Especially Wen Jingtao, his heart burning with intense desire, a sh of greed passing through his eyes.


    In the face of twenty Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills, it was difficult for anyone not to be moved or greedy.


    ¡°How about it, can yourmerce guild handle these twenty Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Regaining hisposure, Wen Fei took a deep breath and said, ¡°Ourmerce guild can handle it. I don¡¯t know if Lord Long would like to sell them directly or consign them to our guild for auction?¡±


    ¡°Direct sale, what¡¯s the price?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked without beating around the bush.


    ¡°Two hundred thousand gold for each, does Lord Long find this eptable?¡± Wen Fei asked nervously, with an inquiring tone.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°That¡¯s eptable.¡±


    Although the Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills were rare, everything had a price. Otherwise, they would have no market value.


    ¡°However,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tone shifted as he pointed at Wen Jingyi, ¡°for this transaction, I need her to handle it. And when yourmerce guild auctions these twenty Premium Four Symbols Spirit Pills, she needs to be the one to auction them.¡±


    If Wen Jingyi were to handle and auction them, the credit would belong to Wen Jingyi.


    Wen Fei and the others were surprised.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine,¡± Wen Fei said with a smile.


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s pretty face brightened as she stepped forward and bowed to Yang


    Xiaotian, ¡°Thank you, Lord Long.¡±


    Afterward, the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild transferred four million gold to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian epted the four million gold, then suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯vee to yourmerce guild for another matter as well.¡± He then produced six letters and handed them to Wen Fei.


    Wen Fei, puzzled, opened the letters, and his expression gradually turned ugly.


    While Wen Jingtao and the others were in shock, Wen Fei angrily pointed at Wen Jingtao, ¡°Wen Jingtao, you dare to collude with the Blood Saber Gang, robbing themerce guild¡¯s caravan of its goods.¡±


    Wen Jingtao was taken aback and urgently defended himself, ¡°Head, I didn¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°These six letters were all written by you to the Blood Saber Gang Leader, leaking the caravan¡¯s information,¡± Wen Fei said coldly, ¡°This is your handwriting!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wen Jingtao still protested, ¡°It¡¯s not me; the letters are fabricated!¡± He angrily pointed at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°It¡¯s you, you¡¯re framing me!¡± As he spoke, he suddenly threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian.


    However, just as he threw the punch, it was blocked by Wen Fei with a punch of his own.


    Wen Jingtao was sent reeling backward.


    ¡°Wen Jingtao, you collude with the Blood Saber Gang, rob themerce guild¡¯s caravan, and you dare to attack Lord Long!¡± Wen Fei shouted angrily, ¡°Guards, seize Wen Jingtao!¡±


    Seeing the tide had turned against him, Wen Jingtao punched at the people around him to push them back and scrambled to flee.


    The people of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild chased after him..

    Chapter 113: You Are Lord Long!


    Trantor: 549690339


    Wen Jingtao desperately escaped from the headquarters of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    Relying on his strength, he zed a bloody trail and finally managed to break free, leaving the guild¡¯s members behind.


    The night descended.


    Wen Jingtao hid inside an abandoned hut within Divine Sword City.


    At that moment, a figure appeared.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Wen Jingtao asked in a low voice, sounding rmed.


    ¡°My lord, it¡¯s me,¡± Wen Qin said.


    Wen Jingtao¡¯s heart rxed.


    Wen Qin took out a Space Ring and handed it to Wen Jingtao, saying, ¡°My lord, this is what you asked for. Everything is inside.¡±


    Wen Jingtao opened the Space Ring to look inside and nodded.


    ¡°My lord, are you really nning to leave Divine Sea Country?¡± Wen Qin asked.


    Wen Jingtao sighed, then said hatefully, ¡°Wen Jingyi, you whore, one day, I will ravage you to death.¡± Then he continued, ¡°And that Lord Long, I will definitely find out who you are and personally take your life!¡±


    Just then, a calm voice rang out, ¡°Personally take my life?¡±


    Upon hearing the voice, the startled Wen Jingtao and Wen Qin turned and saw Yang Xiaotian and Wu Qi.


    Wen Jingtao did not recognize Yang Xiaotian and Wu Qi, but Wen Qin¡¯s face changed immediately, ¡°It¡¯s you! Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Upon hearing the name, Wen Jingtao was also startled.


    He looked uncertainly at Yang Xiaotian and Wu Qi, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, what did you mean just now?¡±


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Dragon Head Mask appeared, and darkness surged around his body.


    ¡°You are Lord Long!¡± Seeing the transformation in Yang Xiaotian, Wen Jingtao was shocked and shaken to his core.


    The mysterious Pharmacist, revered as a possible high -level expert of the Long n, turned out to be Yang Xiaotian!


    Wen Qin was equally shocked.


    Suddenly, Wen Jingtao realized. He finally understood why that Lord Long had the letter he sent to the Blood Saber Gang Leader.


    Last time, when the Blood Saber Gang Leader led an ambush against Yang Xiaotian, the letter must have been found on the Gang Leader¡¯s body by Yang Xiaotian.


    So that was it!


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Wen Jingtao bellowed in a rage and suddenly threw a punch towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian was the reason he was now a fugitive, and the hatred he held for Yang Xiaotian was immense.


    However, just as his punch approached Yang Xiaotian, it was blocked by a punch from Wu Qi.


    Wu Qi, seemingly frail, collided his small fist with Wen Jingtao¡¯srge punch and sent Wen Jingtao flying.


    When hended, Wen Jingtao¡¯s body waspletely encased in dark green ice.


    Wu Qi, who had been practicing his cold and poisonous techniques since childhood, coupled with the Supreme Divine Power of the Myriad Cold Force, was an adversary many in the Emperor Realm could not withstand, let alone Wen Jingtao, who was merely in the Martial Ancestor Realm.


    Seeing Wen Jingtao suddenly sted away and turned into an ice statue uponnding, Wen Qin was stunned. Her beautiful face couldn¡¯t hide her fear as she looked at Wu Qi and pleaded with Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Lord Long, no, Lord


    Divine Yang, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly. Please don¡¯t kill me.¡±


    ¡°I realize my mistake.¡±


    By the end, she even began to cry.


    Her tears fell like a shower of flowers.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at her ample chest, sword in hand, and approached Wen Qin.


    Wen Qin, facing the advancing Yang Xiaotian, was filled with fear.


    Suddenly, her eyes became fierce, and she sprang up, reaching for Yang Xiaotian, clearly nning to grab him and threaten Wu Qi, then make her escape.


    Witnessing Wen Qin¡¯s attack, Yang Xiaotian was well aware of her intentions. His sword suddenly pierced forward, as fast as lightning, and instantly punctured Wen Qin¡¯s throat.


    Wen Qin froze midair, looking at Yang Xiaotian with disbelief, her voice hoarse, ¡°You, Martial King Realm!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was a Martial King Realm powerhouse!


    But wasn¡¯t it rumored that Yang Xiaotian was at most only at the fourth or fifth level of the Innate stage?


    Yang Xiaotian slowly drew out his long sword.


    Huang Ying smashed to the ground from high up in the sky.


    Blood continuously spurted from her throat, staining her entire body red.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold and fierce, ¡°I forgot to tell you, I don¡¯t like drinking soy milk.¡±


    Don¡¯t like drinking soy milk?


    Huang Ying¡¯s eyes bulged, and she breathed herst.


    Yang Xiaotian put away the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    And left with Wu Qi.


    As for the corpses of Wen Jingtao and Wen Qin, he didn¡¯t bother to deal with them, letting the Wen family take care of themter.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian and Wu Qi left, Wen Fei, Wen Jingyi, and others arrived.


    By that time, the ice on Wen Jingtao¡¯s body had melted, and his entire body was dark green, apparently poisoned to death.


    Afflicted by Wu Qi¡¯s Myriad Cold Force, if one couldn¡¯t disperse the cold poison, it would swiftly attack the heart meridians, leading to cessation of breath.


    Wen Fei looked at the corpses of Wen Jingtao and Wen Qin with aplicated expression, ordered their bodies to be taken back, and also had someone investigate who was responsible.


    The next day.


    The sun was shining brilliantly.


    Seeing that the weather was nice, Yang Xiaotian took his parents out for a stroll.


    ¡°The Royal City is really nice,¡± Huang Ying remarked.


    Although Divine Sword City is also one of thergest and most prosperous cities in the Divine Sea Country, it still falls a bit shortpared to the Royal City.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Mother, if you like it, we can buy a mansion in the Royal City.¡±


    Huang Ying was startled and quickly shook her head, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary, my child. Even if you have money now, you can¡¯t just waste it like that. We are not nning to live here permanently.¡±


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to speak, he heard an excited voice, ¡°Brother!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked over and saw Wen Jingyi walking towards him with a face full of surprise.


    Wen Jingyi was dressed in a ck dress, exuding both charm and femininity.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Sister Wen,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, not expecting to encounter Wen Jingyi while out shopping.


    ¡°You came to the Royal City but didn¡¯te to see me,¡± Wen Jingyi said with joy and a hint of reproach in her voice, ¡°Are you being so formal with me, your sister?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to participate in the academypetition, nning to get into the top ten before I go find Sister Wen.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re participating in the academypetition to get into the top ten?¡± Wen Jingyi was astonished, then let out a girlishugh, the corners of her eyes crinkling, ¡°With those little arms of yours, they¡¯re not even half as big as someone else¡¯s, and you want to participate in the academypetition?¡± She clearly thought Yang Xiaotian was just joking.


    Yang Chao watched Yang Xiaotian and Wen Jingyi bantering and cleared his throat, asking, ¡°Xiaotian, who is this youngdy?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hurriedly introduced Wen Jingyi to his parents and then introduced Yang Chao and Huang Ying to her.


    Upon learning that the middle-aged man and beautiful woman were Yang Xiaotian¡¯s father and mother, Wen Jingyi promptly greeted them with a bit of nervousness.


    Because Yang Xiaotian¡¯s parents were present, Wen Jingyi didn¡¯t stay to chat much with him and took her leave after a short while.


    As she was leaving, she extended a warm invitation to the three of them to visit the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.


    Huang Ying watched Wen Jingyi¡¯s retreating figure andmented with a smile, ¡°So she is Wen Jingyi of the Wen family, indeed very beautiful.¡±


    Yang Chao, however, asked Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°How did you get to know Wen Jingyl?


    Seeing the meaningful look in his parents¡¯ eyes, Yang Xiaotian exined, ¡°I¡¯ve sold elixirs a few times at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, we are friends.¡± Yang Chao and Huang Ying both smiled but didn¡¯t probe further.


    Over the next few days, Yang Xiaotian spent nearly all his time in the courtyard practicing his swordsmanship and the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Early in the morning, Yang Xiaotian and the others from the Divine Sword Academy left their vi and headed for the Royal Pce Square..

 Chapter 114: If I Encounter Hall Master Yang, I Will Protect Him

    Chapter 114: If I Encounter Hall Master Yang, I Will Protect Him


    Trantor: 549690339


    Although it was still early, the streets of Royal City were already impassable.


    To the people of Divine Sea Country, the grandpetition of the academies was even more significant than the Pharmacist Contest, so all the major families, sects, and academies of Divine Sea Country were present.


    Yang Xiaotian looked out and saw nothing but a ck sea of people, extending all the way to the end of the street.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian and his party had not gone far from the other courtyard, they saw arge troop of heavily armored Royal Pce Guards approaching.


    ¡°Lord Divine Yang, Royal City is crowded. The King has sent us to escort Lord Divine Yang to the Royal Pce, ¡± said the Guard Captain as he approached Yang Xiaotian and bowed respectfully.


    Hearing that the Royal Pce Guards hade to escort Yang Xiaotian and the others to the Royal Pce, the people around were all abuzz.


    In the entire Divine Sea Country, probably only Yang Xiaotian received such treatment.


    Thus, with the Royal Pce Guard leading the way, they escorted Yang Xiaotian and his party to the Royal Pce.


    With the Royal Pce Guards clearing the way, the path was smooth.


    The members of Yunhui Academy in the crowd, seeing this, naturally felt ufortable.


    Deng Yichun said coldly, ¡°He¡¯s just relying on having a good little sister, otherwise, who does he think he is?¡± He then added, ¡°He¡¯s just amoner from the small Yang Family Manor.¡±


    Cai Hao watched the spirited Yang Xiaotian in front and silently shook his head. The taller the tree, the more it catches the wind. The more ostentatious Yang Xiaotian was, the less likely he would survive in the Demon Hunting Ground.


    Under the guidance of the Royal Pce Guard, Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Royal Pce Square without incident.


    After escorting Yang Xiaotian and his party to the Royal Pce Square, the Royal Pce Guard then departed.


    In the square, some families and sects had already arrived, and many people came forward to greet Yang Xiaotian. Some were trying to ingratiate themselves.


    Some were admiring.


    Of course, some were certainly hoping in their hearts for Yang Xiaotian to die in the Demon Field.


    After a while, Cheng Long, Hu Xing, and Cheng Beibei and others arrived.


    Since the Pharmacist Contest, Cheng Beibei had be much better behaved.


    After a few months without seeing her, she had grown quite a bit taller.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian again, her feelings were decidedlyplex.


    Lin Yong saw that Hu Xing and Cheng Long stayed together, and his expression turned sour. He had reprimanded his disciple Hu Xing, telling him to associate less with Cheng Long, but Hu Xing seemed to treat his words as if they were


    the howling wind.


    It seemed that Hu Xing believed that he would surely make it into the top ten in the academy¡¯s grandpetition and sessfully pass the assessment to enter Tiandou Academy, so he no longer took his master¡¯s words to heart.


    ¡°Hu Xing,e here!¡± Lin Yong shouted.


    Hu Xing pretended not to hear and continued to chat and joke around with Cheng Long.


    It was only after Lin Yong repeated himself that Hu Xing leisurely made his way over.


    ¡°What does my master want with me?¡± Hu Xing asked nonchntly.


    Lin Yong saw Hu Xing¡¯s demeanor and scowled, ¡°I¡¯ve warned you many times not to associate with Cheng Long.¡±


    Hu Xing, however,ughed and said, ¡°Master, whom I associate with is my business, and you have no right to interfere.¡± Then he scratched his ear and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once we¡¯re in the Demon Hunting Ground, if I encounter Hall Master Yang, I will protect him well and take good care of him.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t let him suffer a single injury.¡±


    Hu Xing¡¯s words were loud.


    Yang Xiaotian looked toward Lin Yong, who was feeling embarrassed.


    Indeed, he was worried about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s safety in the Demon Hunting Ground, which is why he had asked Hu Xing to protect Yang Xiaotian when the time came.


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected Hu Xing to bring it up at this moment, cing both him and Yang Xiaotian in an awkward situation.


    After Hu Xing finished speaking, he turned to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Hall Master Yang, don¡¯t worry. Once we¡¯re in the Demon Hunting Ground, I will protect you and make sure you don¡¯t get hurt.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Hu Xing, his expression indifferent, ¡°There¡¯s no need to protect me. Just make sure you protect yourself when that timees.¡±


    Hearing this, Hu Xingughed heartily, ¡°Alright,¡± then turned around and left.


    From a distance, Luo Junpeng of Yunhui Academy watched this scene and said to Cai Hao with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Lin Yong to have specifically instructed his disciple to protect Yang Xiaotian in the Demon Hunting Ground.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is the darling of the Divine Sword Academy, of course Lin Yong and the others are afraid that Yang Xiaotian would die in the Demon Hunting Ground,¡± Cai Haoughed. ¡°However, Hu Xing has a conflict with Yang


    Xiaotian, and is also close to Cheng Long. How could he possibly follow Lin


    Yong¡¯s orders to protect Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    Then he added, ¡°But, the Demon Field is dangerous. Even if Hu Xing wants to protect him, it¡¯s not certain whether Yang Xiaotian would be able toe out alive.¡±


    Seeing the people around whispering to each other, Lin Yong felt quite apologetic as he said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Hall Master Yang, I didn¡¯t mean anything else by it, I just¡­¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°I understand.¡±


    He knew Lin Yong had his best interests at heart.


    As the time for the academy¡¯s greatpetition drew near, more and more disciples from various sects and ns arrived.


    A whileter, King Cheng Kai of the Divine Sea Country, dressed in a dragon robe and moving with the might of a dragon and tiger, appeared before everyone.


    Cheng Kai stood on the Dragon tform andmanded the Grand Eunuch to begin announcing the rules and rewards for this greatpetition between the academies.


    When they heard that the first-ce winner of thepetition would be conferred the title of Baron, the crowd was in an uproar.


    The title of Baron undoubtedly excited every disciple of the Divine Sea Country.


    ¡°Alright, now please prepare yourselves, the disciples participating in the greatpetition. After I activate the array, everyone will be able to enter,¡± the Grand Eunuch called out with his shrill voice. He then went to the square¡¯s array and activated it.


    Instantly, lights surged on the square, and a gigantic portal appeared before everyone.


    Seeing the portal, thepeting disciples rushed to enter, one after another.


    ¡°Hall Master, please be extremely careful,¡± Lin Yong couldn¡¯t help but say when he saw Yang Xiaotian moving towards the portal.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying also looked concerned, advising Yang Xiaotian not to be reckless after entering the Demon Hunting Ground.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, reassuring everyone. He approached the portal and, with a sh of his body, vanished into the spatial passage.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian enter the Demon Hunting Ground, Cheng Long, Hu Xing, Deng Yichun, Chen Zihan, and others stepped forward and entered the portal one after another.


    After Yang Xiaotian entered the portal, he felt the world spin and thennded in a dark desert.


    The desert was empty and lifeless, oppressively hot andpletely silent.


    So this is the Demon Hunting Ground, Yang Xiaotian thought as he surveyed the endless desert before him.


    The academy¡¯s greatpetition was divided into two rounds. The first round was to hunt demons in the Demon Hunting Ground. If one could stay in the Demon Hunting Ground for ten days and kill a hundred demons, they would pass the first round.


    This round might seem simple, but it was extremely dangerous, because there were countless demons in the Demon Hunting Ground, and it was possible to encounter arge group of them at any time.


    If one encountered arge group of demons, even a Martial King Realm might find it hard to escape with their life.


    Yang Xiaotian figured out the direction he needed to go and, with a leap, started sprinting forward.


    However, he hadn¡¯t gone far when he saw a demon tearing through the sky towards him.


    The demon was several meters tall with scales covering its body, two horns on its head, and its appearance was utterly hideous.


    This was a Yaksha among the demons.


    A Yaksha possessed immense strength and was as tough as iron, making it very difficult to kill, equivalent to the Innate Realm. The Yaksha in front of him had a hump growing on its back, indicating it was close to growing wings. Once it had wings, it would be a Flying Yaksha, equivalent to the Martial King Realm.


    Just as the Yaksha charged at him, Yang Xiaotian saw another group of Yakshas rushing towards him from a distance, a total of fourteen of them..

 Chapter 115: The Valley Trap

    Chapter 115: The Valley Trap


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Hehe!¡±


    The Yakshas noticed Yang Xiaotian, and after their surprise, theyughed out loud.


    ¡°A human child actually dares to enter our demon territory!¡±


    ¡°Human flesh is tender and delicious, this human child is mine, I¡¯m taking him!¡±


    A Yaksha quickly picked up speed, charging towards Yang Xiaotian with excitement on its face.


    In the blink of an eye, the Yaksha had reached Yang Xiaotian. It reached out with both hands, opening its gruesomelyrge mouth, aiming to grab Yang Xiaotian and chew him up.


    Seeing the Yaksha with its mouth wide open, Yang Xiaotian simply raised his little fist, hurling it out, andnded a punch on the Yaksha¡¯s chin.


    Thud!


    It sounded like a massive drum had been struck.


    The blow sent the Yaksha soaring high into the air with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s little fist.


    As it was sted upward, its jaw visibly shattered at an eye-watering rate, not just its jaw, but its ugly face and head, too, were disintegrating. When the Yaksha hit the ground, its entire head had been pulverized.


    Green blood and flesh scattered all over the ce.


    The other Yakshas rushing over were shocked by this scene.


    It¡¯s known that Yakshas themselves have steel-like bones and frighteningly strong defenses, especially their heads.


    But now, one was shattered by a single punch from the small child before them.


    Yang Xiaotian crushed the Yaksha¡¯s head with one punch, moved his figure swiftly, and then was in front of another Yaksha. Another punch, and like before, itnded on the second Yaksha¡¯s chin.


    Then he moved to the third one.


    He let out another punch.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s movements were swift as lightning; with each punch thrown, a Yaksha was sent flying, its head shattered to pieces.


    In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiaotian had thrown more than a dozen punches.


    All the Yakshas had been knocked to the ground.


    Looking at the corpses of the dozen Yakshas, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold as he quickly left the area.


    The desert was vast and empty, with nowhere to hide, so he had to leave quickly. Otherwise, if arge group of Flying Yakshas swarmed in, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape even if he wanted to.


    He could kill dozens of Flying Yaksha, but he wouldn¡¯t dare to say that he could handle hundreds of them.


    Several hundred Flying Yakshas are equivalent to several hundred Martial Kings.


    Moreover, some of the Flying Yakshas have the strength of the sixth, seventh, or even the ninth or tenthyer of the Martial King Realm.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left, Hu Xing and inner academy disciple, Li Qi, were also transported to this ce.


    Witnessing the bodies of Yakshas scattered everywhere, they were both astonished.


    Once they saw that all these Yakshas had had their heads smashed by a single punch, they were even more horrified.


    ¡°Such terrifying punch power, to smash a Yaksha¡¯s head with a single punch.¡±


    Hu Xing said in shock, ¡°Which academy¡¯s disciple could possess such strength!¡±


    ¡°Could it be the Son of Thunder from Thunder Academy?¡± Li Qi said with surprise and doubt.


    The Thunder Academy, along with Divine Sword Academy, Yunhui Academy, and Divine Sea Academy, are the four great academies of the Divine Sea Country.


    The Son of Thunder from Thunder Academy is recognized as the strongest disciple in this academypetition.


    Everyone believes that the Son of Thunder will take first ce.


    ¡°It must be the Son of Thunder,¡± Hu Xing said with a grave expression, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect his strength to be even greater than we imagined.¡±


    Although he could also easily kill the dozen Yakshas before him, he admitted


    that he couldn¡¯t smash their heads with a single punch.


    After the two left, several groups of disciples arrived one after another, and no matter who it was, they were all utterly shocked at the site of Yakshas with their heads uniformly smashed.


    After leaving, Yang Xiaotian encountered some more Yakshas.


    He didn¡¯t use his sword, just directly smashed them with his fists.


    And all of them had their heads blown off.


    The Yaksha are hard to kill, and the head is their vital spot.


    As long as their heads are sted apart, no matter how hard to kill a Yaksha may be, it is dead for sure.


    However, having encountered only Yakshas for the entire day, without even a single Flying Yaksha, Yang Xiaotian found it strange.


    In thend of demons and monsters, although Flying Yakshas are rare, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible not to encounter even one in an entire day.


    It seemed as though all the Flying Yakshas had gone into hiding?


    Night had fallen.


    Yang Xiaotian sat crossed-legged among the dense branches and leaves of an ancient tree, resting in meditation.


    Over the course of the day, he had already hunted down more than ny Yakshas.


    Normally, with his speed, the count should have been much higher, but for some reason, the number of Yakshas had been decreasing towards the end.


    There was an eerie silence throughout thend of demons and monsters.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was meditating in the tree, a few n disciples passed by underneath.


    ¡°Someone discovered a cave in the valley ahead, it¡¯s unclear who it was left by, but inside there are many millennium blood ginsengs, millennium golden lingzhi, and numerous spiritual medicines for Refining Treasure Pill.¡±


    ¡°What, spiritual medicines for Refining Treasure Pill are there too, could it be fake?¡±


    ¡°Many have already obtained them, they have seen it with their own eyes, it should be genuine.¡±


    These n disciples hurried towards the front.


    Yang Xiaotian watched their figures, deep in thought.


    In thend of demons and monsters, it wasmon for strong individuals of the Human Race toe here to cultivate, and disciples who had participated in the academypetitions had discovered cave dwellings before.


    So, it was quite possible that there actually was a cave dwelling left by a strong Human Race individual in the valley ahead.


    After thinking it over, Yang Xiaotian decided to follow them.


    Even if it were a hoax, with his strength, he could still retreat safely.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian followed the n disciples toward the valley cave dwelling, Hu Xing and Li Qi also heard the news and rushed to the valley cave dwelling.


    About the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Yang Xiaotian followed the n disciples and arrived at a huge valley.


    ¡°It should be here,¡± one of them said.


    However, as Yang Xiaotian followed the disciples into the valley, they happened to run into Hu Xing and Li Qi.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± The two of them were greatly surprised to see Yang Xiaotian.


    Then, Hu Xing started tough, his smile bright and sunny, ¡°So it¡¯s Hall Master Yang, what a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect Hall Master Yang toe for the valley¡¯s cave dwelling as well.¡±


    As Hu Xing spoke, he approached Yang Xiaotian and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Hall Master Yang, I will protect you.¡± As he secretly circted his True Yuan, preparing to strike at Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a ¡°cackling¡±ugh sounded, and dozens of Yakshas swooped down from above the valley.


    These dozens of Yakshas had all grown wings.


    They were clearly Flying Yakshas!


    And not just a handful, but sixty to seventy Flying Yakshas!


    The sudden appearance of so many Flying Yakshas in the sky above the valley caused the faces of the Human Race disciples who had entered the valley to drastically change their expressions, including Hu Xing and Li Qi.


    Just as the Human Race disciples were desperately trying to flee the valley, they saw arge horde of Yakshas emerging at the mouth of the valley; their numbers were so great that there were at least two thousand of them!


    Seeing the valley entrancepletely blocked by the densely packed influx of Yakshas, those who had held onto a sliver of hope of escaping fell into despair, panicking.


    ¡°Kill! ¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s fight our way out together!¡±


    A n disciple shouted.


    But as he led dozens of n disciples out, they were overwhelmed by the two thousand Yakshas, and screams filled the air.


    The dozens of n disciples were quickly torn apart and devoured by the


    Yakshas..

    Trantor: 549690339


    The dozens of family disciples were quickly dismembered and devoured cleanly.


    In the end, only Yang Xiaotian, Hu Xing, and Li Qi were left.


    Yang Xiaotian wanted to speak out to stop the dozens of family disciples, but it was toote to even make a sound.


    Hu Xing and Li Qi, watching the dismemberment and consumption of the dozens of family disciples, felt extraordinary fear in their hearts.


    High above, a Flying Yakshaughed grimly and said, ¡°Youxue, it seems this move of yours is still no good, attracting only so few Human Race disciples.¡±


    ¡°So few Human Race disciples are not even enough to pick our teeth.¡±


    Another Flying Yaksha chuckled and said, ¡°This is just an appetizer. I don¡¯t believe other Human Race disciples can resist the allure of the thousand-year-old blood ginseng and Treasure Pills in the valley cave.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s deal with this batch first, there will definitely be many more toe.¡±


    His gaze fell upon Yang Xiaotian, ¡°But unexpectedly, there are Human Race children daring to enter thend of demons this time.¡±


    ¡°Such a brave Human Race child.¡±


    Suddenly, Hu Xing said to the Flying Yaksha in the sky, ¡°Esteemed ones, spare our lives, we are from the Divine Sword Academy, my master is the Academy


    Head Lin Yong, please spare us for my master¡¯s sake.¡±


    The Flying Yaksha Youxue turned to look at Hu Xing, ¡°Oh? Are you the Direct


    Disciple of old Lin Yong?¡±


    Hearing that the other party knew his master, Hu Xing¡¯s face lit up with joy, and he quickly sped his fists and said, ¡°Indeed, my master is Lin Yong, and I am his only Direct Disciple.¡±


    Just then, the Flying Yaksha Youxue sneered coldly, ¡°Lin Yong seriously wounded my father years ago, so since you are his Direct Disciple, I can¡¯t let you die so easily.¡±


    ¡°I will tear the flesh off your body piece by piece and eat it slowly.¡±


    Hu Xing¡¯s face turned ashen.


    Originally, he had hoped by mentioning Lin Yong¡¯s name, it would make the others hesitate; he did not expect them to be the descendants of Lin Yong¡¯s enemies.


    At that moment, suddenly, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword appeared in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Sword Howl Overarching Sky!¡±


    Apanied by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s frigid voice, hundreds of astonishing Sword Qi burst from the valley floor.


    These swirling Sword Qi, like a mighty tornado, roared towards the sky.


    So swift and powerful, they stunned the Flying Yakshas above.


    ¡°Quick, dodge!¡± Youxue bellowed in surprise and anger. At the same time, he fiercely thrust his ck trident towards the tornado of Sword Qi, as his wings wrapped protectively around vital parts of his body.


    The other Flying Yakshas also reacted instantly, brandishing their tridents.


    Thebined strength of dozens of Flying Yakshas, each the equal of the Martial King Realm, was fearsome to contemte.


    Above in the sky, cold light bombarded down like a ck storm.


    But the power of the tornado Sword Qi far exceeded their expectations.


    The swirling Sword Qi quickly shredded the ck storm they had hurled down.


    Then, at an unbelievable speed, it sted towards the dozens of Flying Yakshas in the blink of an eye.


    The dozens of Flying Yakshas were filled with dread.


    ng, ng, ng!


    Suddenly, a dense barrage of metallic sounds erupted.


    Hundreds of Sword Qi simultaneously struck the bodies of the dozens of Flying Yakshas.


    Yakshas have irond bodies, and Flying Yakshas possess even stronger defenses, but hundreds of Sword Qi instantly tore through their protection.


    Before this onught of Sword Qi, their scale armor was like brittle skin, constantly sliced open.


    Immediately, a rain of dark green blood poured down from the sky.


    One Flying Yaksha after another plummeted from the sky.


    Originally, sixty to seventy Flying Yakshas had covered half the valley sky, but now, as they continued to fall, the sky above the valley became sparsely filled. Hu Xing and Li Qi, watching the constant fall of Flying Yaksha corpses from the sky, were stunned.


    One, two, three¡­


    A full thirty-six Yaksha corpses!


    One sword!


    Just one sword had in thirty-six Flying Yakshas.


    Each of these Flying Yakshas was equivalent to the Martial King Realm.


    Some evenparable to the fourth or fifthyer of the Martial King Realm.


    The two observers were immensely shocked as they watched Yang Xiaotian, wielding the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    Yang Xiaotian had just now, with a single sword strike, ughtered thirty-six Flying Yakshas.


    While the two were in shock, Yang Xiaotian suddenly soared into the sky and, once again, shed out with the Heaven- Prating Divine Sword in his hands.


    ¡°Sword ying Four Directions!¡±


    The icy voice of Yang Xiaotian rang out once again.


    It could be seen that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heaven-Prating Divine Sword emitted sixteen paths of Sword Qi in all directions around him.


    Sixteen paths of Sword Qi, executed in one go.


    Incred1DIY smootn.


    The sixteen paths of Sword Qi simultaneously pierced toward the throats of sixteen Flying Yakshas.


    Although the sixteen Flying Yakshas had managed to protect their vital parts, they were already injured by the previous Sword Qi and in a state of shock, totally unable to dodge. In an instant, they were pierced through by the sixteen paths of Sword Qi.


    The sixteen Flying Yakshas once again fell from the sky.


    By the time Youxue and the others had reacted, Yang Xiaotian unleashed his third sword attack.


    ¡°Sword Falls from the Nine Heavens.¡±


    In the high skies above, suddenly, countless paths of Sword Qi thunderously descended.


    Youxue and the remaining Flying Yakshas dodged in terror. Even so, several Flying Yakshas were still struck by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi and fell to the ground, riddled with sword holes as theynded.


    After the three sword strikes, the original group of sixty or seventy Flying Yakshas was reduced to only seven.


    Youxue, seeing the handful of Flying Yakshas left at his side, bellowed furiously and shouted, ¡°Kill him!¡± His steel trident stabbed towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Youxue, worthy of being the leader of this group of Flying Yakshas, was still as fast as lightning even with serious injuries.


    The other six also furiously moved to attack Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold, and this time, he didn¡¯t use the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword but instead, with a sh of his body, appeared before Youxue and fiercely punched him right on the chin.


    Thud!


    The fist of Yang Xiaotian directly shattered Youxue¡¯s chin scales.


    Youxue¡¯s chin was visibly bursting apart at a speed discernible to the naked eye.


    In the end, his entire head exploded into a pulp.


    The corpse of Youxue fell in front of Hu Xing and Li Qi.


    The two looked at Youxue¡¯s corpse with its exploded head and froze; they remembered the corpses of the Yakshas with exploded heads when they had first entered thend of demons and monsters.


    Those corpses of the Yakshas and the current corpse of Youxue died in exactly the same way, all with their heads burst open by a punch.


    At that moment, the corpse of another Flying Yaksha fell from the sky.


    Just like Youxue, its head had been blown apart by a punch from Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punches did not stop, and with each punch, he inevitably blew apart the head of a Flying Yaksha.


    Originally, Yang Xiaotian was only at the thirdyer of the Martial King Realm and thus unable to fly, but each punch he threw allowed him to borrow force to rise into the air, pausing mid-air to continue punching.


    After six punches, only thest Flying Yaksha remained.


    Thisst Flying Yaksha, terrified out of his wits, attempted to flee. However, as soon as he turned around, he was met with a sword lighting straight at him.


    The sword light instantly decapitated thest Flying Yaksha.


    Yang Xiaotian descended from the sky, and when his feetnded, the ground shook and dust billowed, causing Hu Xing and Li Qi to choke on a mouthful of


    dirt..

    Chapter 117: Senior Brother Lei Discovers Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hu Xing, Li Qi wiped their mouths, all covered with sand and dirt.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian who had fallen to the ground, those two thousand Yaksha dared not approach for a moment.


    Yang Xiaotian coldly surveyed the two thousand Yaksha.


    ¡°Kill him, avenge Lord Youxue and the others!¡± Suddenly, a Yaksha roared angrily with high voice.


    The moment this Yaksha roared, a hundred treasure-grade swords immediately appeared behind Yang Xiaotian, fanning out like a peacock¡¯s tail.


    The Sword Qi was chilling.


    ¡°Kill!


    The two thousand Yaksha, holding steel forks andrge des, rushed madly towards Yang Xiaotian.


    However, before they could get close, a hundred of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s treasure-grade swords instantly flew out, sting into the midst of the


    Yaksha.


    In an instant, a hundred Yaksha were blown away.


    As these Yaksha were sted into the air, it could be seen that their heads had been neatly severed by the swords.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s control, the hundred swords transformed into a Sword Dragon, which constantly moved among them, decapitating a group of Yaksha with each pass.


    Although these Yaksha had astonishing defenses, they couldn¡¯t withstand Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hundred treasure-grade swords.


    Hu Xing and Li Qi were stupefied as they watched the flying heads of the Yaksha.


    Under the attacks of the Sword Dragon formed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hundred swords, the two thousand Yaksha couldn¡¯t get close to him.


    It wasn¡¯t just about getting close; they couldn¡¯t even step within fifty meters of Yang Xiaotian.


    The two thousand Yaksha seemed numerous, but under the relentless reaping of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hundred swords, they gradually thinned out.


    Seeing the Yaksha thinning out, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward and walked towards them.


    With every step Yang Xiaotian took, dark green blood sttered, and from a distance, Yang Xiaotian seemed like a ughter god emerging from a blood-soaked green hell.


    The remaining Yaksha, instead, were ughtered to the point of retreating step by step.


    Seeing the dwindling number of Yaksha left, Yang Xiaotian decided not to use his swords anymore and retracted the Hundred Swords, suddenly throwing out his fists with full force.


    Suddenly, the valley was filled with the Earth Shaking Dragon Roar.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists, ny-nine True Essence Dragons burst forth, flying through the air.


    Boom!


    Dozens of Yaksha were sted away.


    The sted Yaksha didn¡¯t just fall to pieces, their heads, bodies, and limbs scattered all around.


    As Yang Xiaotian advanced to the Martial King Realm, his True Qi condensed into True Yuan, and the True Essence Dragons became incredibly solid, their power vastly intensified.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian took another step forward and threw his fists


    out again.


    Swarm of dragons flew once more.


    With the dragons¡¯ flight came the bursting corpses of the Yaksha.


    Time passed.


    Finally, everything settled.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, surrounded by the corpses of Yaksha.


    Yet on Yang Xiaotian himself, there was not a speck of dust.


    Yang Xiaotian enjoyed wearing a pale blue brocade robe. The pale blue robe, still as clear as the sky, had not a single stain of blood on it.


    When Yang Xiaotian looked towards Hu Xing and Li Qi, they felt as though they had fallen into an ice-cold cer.


    Their faces had already turned the color of eggnt.


    Yang Xiaotian walked towards them.


    In their terror, they wanted to flee, but found their legs wouldn¡¯t obey them.


    ¡°Hall Master Yang,¡± Hu Xing spoke up. The moment he spoke, he felt an urge to cry, ¡°Hall Master Yang, don¡¯t kill me, please spare me, for my master¡¯s sake, I beg you to spare me.¡±


    ¡°Kill you?¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°Hu Xing, didn¡¯t you say you would protect me well and take good care of me? Why would I kill you?¡±


    Hu Xing wanted to cry but had no tears, ¡°Hall Master Yang, I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have sent Deng Yi to kill you.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°If you know this now, why did you do it in the first ce?¡± With that said, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword appeared in his hand.


    Hu Xing, looking at the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, a fierce sh passed through his eyes, and he suddenly punched towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    The distance was close, and Hu Xing had made a sudden move.


    It was entirely unexpected.


    Just as Hu Xing was about to hit Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, suddenly, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand trembled, thrusting forward, and directly pierced Hu Xing¡¯s fist.


    The Heaven-Prating Divine Sword passed through the other¡¯s fist and then, without losing momentum, stabbed into Hu Xing¡¯s chest, piercing through his back.


    Hu Xing stiffly looked at the Heaven -Prating Divine Sword in his chest.


    ¡°Senior Brother Hu!¡± Li Qi shouted angrily, his long sword thrusting at Yang Xiaotian.


    However, before his long sword could reach him, it was flicked away by a flick of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s finger.


    Then, with a wave of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, a hundred long swords flew out, continuously bombarding Li Qi.


    Li Qi was sted against the mountain valley wall, his body a blur of blood and flesh.


    Yang Xiaotian pulled the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword out from Hu Xing¡¯s chest.


    Hu Xing fell to the ground, convulsing. He opened his mouth and said intermittently, ¡°Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    He stopped there.


    As for what he wanted to say next, no one knew.


    Seeing the unwillingness and regret on Hu Xing¡¯s face, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold and indifferent as he turned and entered the mountain valley cave dwelling.


    Although the mountain valley was a trap set by the Yaksha, the cave dwelling indeed existed, and it truly contained a medicinal garden with thousand-year blood ginseng, thousand-year golden lingzhi mushrooms, and ingredients for refining the Treasure Pill.


    Yang Xiaotian took away all the thousand-year blood ginseng, thousand-year golden lingzhi, and Treasure Pill ingredients from the medicinal garden. Finally, Yang Xiaotian also took the steel forks,rge swords, and Space Rings from the bodies of Lord Youxue¡¯s sixty-plus Yakshas.


    The materials for refining treasure artifacts were equally hard to find; these steel forks andrge swords, if re-smelted by Yang Xiaotian, would be sixty-plus treasure artifacts.


    After Yang Xiaotian left, just as Lord Youxue and the others had predicted, numerous disciples of the Human Race learned of the mountain valley cave dwelling and rushed over in session.


    However, when everyone arrived at the mountain valley and saw the mountainous pile of Yaksha corpses, they were all stunned.


    Chen Zihan and Cheng Long arrived at the scene and were just as shocked by what they saw.


    ¡°Two thousand Yakshas, plus sixty or seventy Flying Yakshas!¡± Cheng Long¡¯s voice was parched, ¡°Who could have killed them all?¡±


    Not even the Son of Thunder from the Thunder Academy could possibly have such strength, could he?


    Chen Zihan, among the Yaksha corpses, found the bodies of Hu Xing and Li Qi, her heartbeat quickened, feeling the hand gripping her sword tighten a bit more.


    Looking at Hu Xing¡¯s corpse, she always felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart.


    This palpitation made her hands and feet feel icy cold.


    Cheng Long, looking at Hu Xing¡¯s corpse, had a pale face. He wasn¡¯t faring any better than Chen Zihan; just a day before, at the Royal Pce Square, his ¡°close friend¡± Hu Xing was still talking andughing with him.


    After Yang Xiaotian left, he found a secluded cave and took out the Space Rings of Lord Youxue and the others, opening them one by one and checking the contents inside.


    The Flying Yakshas of the Martial King Realm were indeed richer than ordinary Yakshas.


    This count gave Yang Xiaotian quite a pleasant surprise, inside the Space Rings of Lord Youxue¡¯s sixty or so people were over three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, over a dozen Treasure Pills, and several Divine Skills books, one of which was a Supreme Divine Power.


    Beyond these, there were also more than four million gold coins.


    For the following few days, Yang Xiaotian hunted demons during the day to sharpen his swordsmanship and Divine Skills, while at night he cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art in the cave dwelling.


    Demons of the King Realm that died under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword numbered over a hundred.


    As for the demons of the Innate Realm, they were too numerous to count.


    One day, as Yang Xiaotian was on his way, he saw arge group of students from the Thunder Academy rushing frantically ahead.


    ¡°Senior Brother Lei has discovered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, but he encountered a group of students from the Divine Sea Academy and Yunhui


    Academy fighting over it. Senior Brother Lei has summoned us to hurry over!¡± The voice of a student from the Thunder Academy came.


    Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!


    Hearing the words of the student from the Thunder Academy, Yang Xiaotian paused..

 Chapter 118: Do you believe I can smack you into madness with a slap?

    Chapter 118: Do you believe I can smack you into madness with a p?


    Trantor: 549690339


    These past few months, in order to perform the Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons process on his parents to strengthen their vitality, Yang Xiaotian had quickly used up over half of his Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    He had been thinking about looking for Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water once he got to Tiandou Academy, but he never expected to find it in thend of demons and monsters.


    ¡°What, Tribtion Thunder Water! There is Tribtion Thunder Water in this demon-infestednd!¡± Master Ding, who was almost always in a slumbering state, suddenly woke up upon hearing about the Tribtion Thunder Water, ¡°Quick, Xiaotian, let¡¯s hurry up and follow them!¡±


    Seeing Master Ding so excited, Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°Master Ding, there¡¯s no need to be so excited.¡±


    Master Ding rolled his eyes, ¡°You¡¯re a satiated man who does not know the hunger of the starving.¡±


    These days, it had been absorbing Tribtion Thunder Water for cultivation, and its supply of Tribtion Thunder Water had long been exhausted.


    Under Master Ding¡¯s urging, Yang Xiaotian followed the group of Thunder Academy students.


    There were quite a few students from Thunder Academy, about fifty or sixty, almost all the students participating in the academy¡¯s grandpetition. The leading disciple was not weak, being in the mid-stage of the Martial King Quadrupleyer.


    Among the Thunder Academy students participating in the grandpetition, there were two above the Martial King Quadrupleyer, one being the Son of Thunder, and the other Chen Hailin.


    This disciple at thete-stage Martial King Quadrupleyer seemed to be Chen Hailin.


    Yang Xiaotian followed behind Chen Hailin and the others, arriving at a dense forest.


    Not long after entering the forest, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting and powerful fluctuations of energy.


    Clearly, it was the Son of Thunder shing with disciples from Divine Sea Academy and Yunhui Academy.


    Upon hearing the sounds of battle, Chen Hailin and the other disciples from Thunder Academy quickened their pace.


    Finally, everyone arrived at the scene.


    There were five people involved in the conflict.


    To be precise, it was four people surrounding and attacking the Son of Thunder.


    Among the four assants, one of them was Deng Yichun from Yunhui Academy, and the other three, one from Yunhui Academy, and the remaining two were students from Divine Sea Academy.


    Deng Yichun, as the top disciple of Yunhui Academy, was already at thete-stage Martial King Quadrupleyer.


    The other three were not weak either, with two from Divine Sea Academy; one called Cheng Sheng, like Deng Yichun, at thete-stage Martial King Quadrupleyer, and the other named Cheng Wu at the mid-stage Martial King Quadrupleyer.


    However, even with the four of them joining forces against the Son of Thunder, he remainedposed and rxed in his movements, effortless like a proud dragon, while Deng Yichun and the others appeared tense, struggling under pressure, often forced to retreat by the Son of Thunder¡¯s powerful punches.


    The Son of Thunder was nearly two meters tall and very muscr, especially his arms, which were extremely formidable.


    Even from a distance, Yang Xiaotian could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the Son of Thunder.


    This oppressive sensation was not merely from the Son of Thunder¡¯s strength, but from the inherent pressure of his physical body.


    ¡°Innate Constitution?¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    Some geniuses have mutated Martial Souls, others have incredible insights, but there are also those with special innate physiques.


    Those geniuses with special innate physiques have incredibly strong bodies and possess unique abilities.


    However, geniuses with special constitutions are extremely rare.


    This Son of Thunder must be one of the geniuses with a special physique, the oppressive aura he exuded being the result of his unique constitution.


    ¡°Indeed, this is the Body of Sr Thunder, one of the Innate Constitutions,¡± voiced Master Ding.


    ¡°Body of Sr Thunder,¡± repeated Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°The Body of Sr Thunder is one of the Innate Thunder Bodies, and even among them, it¡¯s considered to have quite formidable power,¡± added Master Ding.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded his head.


    Seeing Chen Hailin and the others arrive, the Son of Thunder threw a fierce punch, forcing Deng Yichun and his group to retreat simultaneously, then he stood with his hands behind his back.


    ¡°Senior Brother Lei, are you all right?¡± Chen Hailin hurried over and asked.


    The Son of Thunder smiled wryly, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± He then nced at Deng Yichun and the others, saying, ¡°They can¡¯t hurt me.¡± His tone was filled with immense confidence and also conveyed his disdain for Deng Yichun and hispanions.


    Hearing this, the faces of Deng Yichun and his group turned sour.


    Cheng Sheng from the Divine Sea Academy said coldly, ¡°Son of Thunder, you are just relying on your Innate Body of Sr Thunder. Otherwise, do you think you could be a match for the four of us?¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Son of Thunder chuckled softly, ¡°I am indeed relying on my Innate Body of Sr Thunder, but what about you? If not for the fact that you¡¯re wearing several treasured armor garments, you would have been blown apart by my fist a long time ago.¡±


    Deng Yichun and Cheng Sheng both choked on their words.


    ¡°Son of Thunder, even if you are strong, when our Yunhui Academy and Divine Sea Academy join forces, your Thunder Academy won¡¯t be able to withstand us,¡± Deng Yichun spoke up. ¡°Continuing this fight is pointless. Let¡¯s split the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water behind this cave among our three academies.¡±


    The Son of Thunder shook his head, ¡°The Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was discovered by me first; I want eighty percent.¡±


    ¡°Eighty percent!¡± Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng became enraged, ¡°You have quite the appetite, do you think you can handle it? If ites down to it, let¡¯s both suffer, we¡¯ll just stay here in a deadlock, and no one will get the Tribtion Thunder Water inside!¡±


    The Son of Thunder furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then said,


    ¡°Fine, our Thunder Academy wants half.¡± He then added with a grave voice, ¡°That¡¯s the lowest I will go.¡±


    Deng Yichun and Cheng Sheng looked at each other in silence, and finally nodded in agreement.


    However, just as the Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, Cheng Sheng, and others were about to enter the cave to divide the Tribtion Thunder Water, they suddenly saw a small figure stepping out from the side.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Deng Yichun, the Son of Thunder, and the others could not hide their surprise, they had not expected Yang Xiaotian to appear here.


    Yang Xiaotian walked directly up to the group, nced at the cave behind them, and said, ¡°I¡¯m taking all of the Tribtion Thunder Water inside for myself. ¡±


    Upon hearing this, Deng Yichun, Cheng Sheng, and the others couldn¡¯t help but burst into incredulousughter.


    Even the Son of Thunder¡¯s expression turned peculiar. He felt that his initial demand for eighty percent was already audacious enough, only to encounter someone even more brazen than himself.


    ¡°You want it all for yourself?¡± Deng Yichun stared at Yang Xiaotian as if he were a joke, after his anger subsided, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, are you sure your head is screwed on right?¡±


    Cheng Sheng also had a frosty look in his eyes, ¡°Don¡¯t think just because you¡¯re some damn Sword Hall Master, I wouldn¡¯t dare beat you to death. Do you believe I could smack you into madness right now!¡±


    As his words fell, suddenly, a figure shed. Cheng Sheng had not even reacted when he was struck in the stomach with a punch.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    This punch made Cheng Sheng¡¯s internal organs churn, his entire stomach trembling uncontrobly.


    An expression of excruciating pain crossed Cheng Sheng¡¯s face as he was propelled backwards.


    He crashed against a distantly ced ancient tree.


    And sent the ancient tree flying.


    Then he hit another ancient tree.


    Finally, he mmed into a third ancient tree and stopped.


    There was a moment of absolute silence.


    All that could be heard was a gurgling sound from Cheng Sheng¡¯s throat.


    His entire face was twisted and deformed from the pain.


    Deng Yichun was as stunned as a wooden chicken.


    The Son of Thunder stood frozen in ce as well.


    All the disciples from Yunhui Academy, Divine Sea Academy, and Thunder Academy stared at Cheng Sheng, who was imprinted on the third ancient tree, having forgotten to breathe.


    Cheng Sheng, a Martial King in thete stages of the fourth level, was sent flying by a single punch from Yang Xiaotian!


    If the Son of Thunder had sent him flying, they would not have thought much of it, but it was Yang Xiaotian, with one punch!

 Chapter 119: Almost Blasted Through the Body of Solar Thunder

    Chapter 119: Almost sted Through the Body of Sr Thunder


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian sent Cheng Sheng flying with a punch, as if he¡¯d done something trivial.


    He turned his head to look at Deng Yichun, ¡°Your turn.¡±


    The color drained from Deng Yichun¡¯s face, the very person who had just used Yang Xiaotian of being out of his mind.


    Even he didn¡¯t notice, that in his terror, he instinctively took a few steps back.


    Watching Deng Yichun retreat, Yang Xiaotian took steps towards him.


    Yet Deng Yichun continued to retreat.


    Finally, he hit a huge boulder behind him and realized there was nowhere left to retreat to.


    Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Deng Yichun felt a sense of shame consuming him and, with a furious roar, his body¡¯s light surged as a giant hammer materialized behind him.


    The hammer was entwined with gale winds.


    This was Deng Yichun¡¯s Martial Soul. the Gale Hammer. a tier-ten Dinnacle Martial Soul, not weaker than Yang Zhong¡¯s Green Phoenix Martial Soul.


    Deng Yichun frantically channeled his True Yuan, swinging the hammer fiercely, sending it smashing towards Yang Xiaotian with an unstoppable force.


    As the Gale Hammer was hurled out, it grew continuously, eventually bing the size of a small mountain.


    ¡°Innate Divine Ability!¡± eximed the Son of Thunder and others.


    Some people, after breaking through to the Martial King level, would have a Divine Skill awaken within their Martial Soul, known as the Innate Divine Ability.


    The higher the level of the Martial Soul, the stronger the awakened Innate Divine Ability; some Supreme Martial Spirits awaken Innate Divine Abilities so powerful they areparable to the Supreme Divine Power.


    Once an Innate Divine Ability had awakened, the Martial Soul could then perform direct attacks.


    Watching the mountain-sized Gale Hammer plummet down, Yang Xiaotian remained indifferent, still just throwing a casual punch.


    Boom!


    The force of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch collided with the mountain-like Gale Hammer.


    The mountain-sized Gale Hammer Deng Yichun summoned was sted away upon impact.


    Deng Yichun himself, as if struck by a heavy blow, was sent flying into the air, spitting blood, and then violently crashed into a distant mountainside.


    Rocks exploded all around him.


    Deng Yichun was sprayed with dust and debris, his face and body covered, but it couldn¡¯t mask the terror in his eyes.


    Since the awakening of his Innate Divine Ability within his Martial Soul, he had never used it, nning to reveal it during the second round of thepetition to amaze the crowd.


    But just now, his full-powered blow infused with his Innate Divine Ability still couldn¡¯t withstand a single punch from Yang Xiaotian.


    The moment his Gale Hammer Martial Soul was struck, it felt as though he¡¯d been hit by the Ancient Divine Mountain.


    The terror of that punch far exceeded his imagination.


    Now, he vividly experienced how horrifying that punch to Cheng Sheng¡¯s belly had been.


    No wonder Cheng Sheng was in so much pain that his face twisted out of shape.


    Keep in mind that the Gale Hammer Martial Soul was sted away, whereas Cheng Sheng took Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch directly to his belly.


    Yang Xiaotian, having sent Deng Yichun flying with a punch, swept his gaze over the crowd. Those from Divine Sea Academy, Yunhui Academy, and Thunder Academy who caught his eye all stepped back in shock, not daring to meet his gaze.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gazended on the Son of Thunder.


    ¡°Son of Thunder, make your move,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, looking at him.


    The Son of Thunder took a deep breath and then looked at Yang Xiaotian with a solemn face, slowly stepping forward.


    Without wasting a word, his body surged with lightning that formed into countless Thunder Serpents, wrapping around his body, hundreds in number.


    At the same time, a me-like red stream appeared all over the Son of Thunder¡¯s body.


    A tremendous wave of heat, like a tidal wave, spread out in all directions.


    All those around reflexively stepped back.


    Only Yang Xiaotian stood still, unmoved.


    When the red wave of heat reached Yang Xiaotian, it was pushed aside by an invisible force.


    However, the number of Thunder Serpents around the Son of Thunder grew, and the red streams on his body intensified, to the point that even those who¡¯d moved a hundred meters away still felt as if they were at the mouth of a volcano.


    As the power of Son of Thunder¡¯s Body of Sr Thunder continued to escte, even his eyes began to change, as if red mes were flowing through them.


    The Son of Thunder did not use any divine weapons, and just like Yang Xiaotian had done earlier, he punched directly out.


    When he unleashed his punch, hundreds of Thunder Serpents and red mes erupted with his punch, the magnitude of the sound and the strength of the force made the students from Divine Sea Academy and Yunhui Academy tremble with fear.


    Watching the Son of Thunder¡¯s punching at him, Yang Xiaotian activated the Primordial Dragon Art andunched his own punch.


    Instantly, a dragon¡¯s roar shook heaven and earth.


    Ny-nine True Essence Dragons roared into existence.


    In the shocked stares of the onlookers, the True Essence Dragons collided with the Thunder Serpents.


    Boom!


    The hundreds of Thunder Serpents exploded into fragments.


    At the same time, all the red mes were also shattered.


    The True Essence Dragons continued their relentless advance.


    The Son of Thunder, greatly shocked, changed his closed fist to an open palm and thrust both palms forward.


    ¡°Grand Thousand Thunder Palm!¡±


    Dozens of thunderous palm imprints bombarded the True Essence Dragon.


    But they could not shake the True Essence Dragon.


    The True Essence Dragons continued their relentless advance.


    The Son of Thunder, greatly shocked, retreated hastily.


    The unstoppable True Essence Dragon struck the very spot where he had been standing.


    Dust rolled up in clouds.


    When the dust settled, everyone was shocked to see that where the True Essence Dragon had struck, a terrifying pit had formed, and the ground around it seemed to have been plowed t.


    The Son of Thunder, who had narrowly escaped, felt a chill on his back, thankful that he had dodged in time; had that hit struck him, even with his Body of Sr Thunder, he feared he would have been crippled.


    What Long n Technique had Yang Xiaotian used just then, that was so terrifyingly powerful?


    While the Son of Thunder was still unsettled, Yang Xiaotian closed the gap and confronted the Son of Thunder with another punch.


    To others, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch looked slow and ordinary, but in the eyes of the Son of Thunder, it was as fast as lightning, sealing all his escape routes.


    This punch was a Heaven and Earth punch.


    The surrounding environment seemed to slow down.


    The sound of the punch grew louder and louder, until it filled the entire mind of the Son of Thunder.


    Before the punch even arrived, an immense terror welled up in the heart of the Son of Thunder.


    The Son of Thunder raised his fist to block, but Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch hit his fist and then his chest. The Son of Thunder, like a falling star, was shot flying out.


    With a huge crash, the Son of Thunder collided with countless ancient trees and boulders.


    ¡°Senior Brother Lei!¡± Chen Hailin and the other students from Thunder Academy cried out in horror, rushing toward the Son of Thunder.


    When they reached the Son of Thunder, they found that his chest had beenpletely copsed, and his fist was so mangled that it was unclear if the bones were shattered.


    Blood continuously poured from the corners of the Son of Thunder¡¯s mouth.


    Seeing the grievous state of the Son of Thunder, everyone was deeply shaken.


    Remember, Son of Thunder possessed the Body of Sr Thunder, which was known for its incredible defense and strength, yet now Yang Xiaotian had destroyed his chest.


    That was even after his fist had first blocked Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch. If Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist had hit the Son of Thunder directly, wouldn¡¯t it have pierced right through even the Body of Sr Thunder?


    Just how terrifying was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch?


    Chen Hailin and the others looked in astonishment at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist, only to find it as delicate as that of an ordinary child, tender and soft.


    Just now, it was such a tender and soft little hand that almost pierced through the Son of Thunder¡¯s Body of Sr Thunder.


    Afterunching the Son of Thunder away with a punch, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell on Chen Hailin, who immediately turned pale..

    Chapter 120: 120


    Trantor: 549690339


    It¡¯s no wonder that Chen Hailin¡¯splexion drastically changed.


    Even the Son of Thunder¡¯s Body of Sr Thunder almost got punctured by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s little fist, so his slight build, in front of Yang Xiaotian, is no different from paper-m?ch¨¦.


    As Chen Hailin¡¯s face turned pale, he moved closer to the crowd behind him.


    It seemed only by doing this could he feel a bit safer.


    Seeing Chen Hailin¡¯s reaction, Yang Xiaotian then fixed his gaze on Cheng Wu from the Divine Sea Academy.


    Apart from the Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and Cheng Sheng, the strongest were Chen Hailin and Cheng Wu.


    Like Chen Hailin, Cheng Wu also recoiled in shock when Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gazended on him, edging into the crowd.


    Yang Xiaotian scanned all the students of the Divine Sea Academy, Yunhui Academy, and Thunder Academy at the scene and spoke, ¡°All of you, attack together.¡±


    Attack together!


    When they heard Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, the students from the three major academies were all stunned.


    It should be noted that the Thunder Academy had more than fifty people, so did the Divine Sea Academy, and Yunhui Academy had even more, with over seventy people.


    Yang Xiaotian actually wanted everyone to attack together?


    The students from the three major academies looked at each other at the scene, yet no one made a move.


    Seeing no one attack, Yang Xiaotian took the initiative and walked towards Chen Hailin.


    Upon seeing this, a fierce glint shed in Chen Hailin¡¯s eyes, ¡°Everyone, attack together, with over one hundred and eighty of us, more than forty in the Martial King Realm, can we not suppress this one person?!¡±


    Having said that, his True Yuan circted, and his Martial Soul was summoned.


    Behind Chen Hailip. a Three-Eyed ck Tiger materialized.


    The rest of the Thunder Academy students also summoned their Martial Souls and circted their True Yuan. In an instant, lights interchanged, illuminating the entire dense forest, and the breaths of all the students from the Thunder Academy merged, conjuring a massive storm.


    Seeing this, students from Yunhui Academy and Divine Sea Academy also summoned their Martial Souls and circted their True Yuan.


    More than a hundred Martial Souls appeared over the forest, and their terrifying might caused the surrounding air currents to stall.


    Just as all the students from the three major academies summoned their Martial Souls, behind Yang Xiaotian appeared a massive turtle, asrge as a small continent.


    It was indeed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul.


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul appeared, it actuallypletely obscured the forest canopy.


    Terrifying streams of darkness swirled incessantly, likely in the tens of thousands.


    Dark streams filled the entire dense forest.


    Thend of demons and monsters was already gloomy, but with the emergence of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul, the forest turnedpletely dark.


    The students from the three major academies seemed to have entered a Dark World.


    As dark streams filled the forest and violent winds churned, the students from the three major academies couldn¡¯t help but recoil in fear.


    What terrified the students from the three academies even more was that upon the appearance of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul, their own Martial Souls trembled uncontrobly, as if they were servants in the presence of a supreme sovereign.


    For the first time, they discovered how difficult it was to activate their Martial Souls.


    This was a situation they had never encountered before.


    What was happening?


    They looked in horror at the massive ck turtle that had appeared behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Was this the might of the Supreme Martial Spirit, the ck Sea Divine Turtle?


    But they had seen Supreme Martial Spirits before, and even an eleventh level top-tier Martial Soul shouldn¡¯t have such an overwhelming presence.


    Not to mention an eleventh level top-tier Martial Soul, even a twelfth level Martial Soul shouldn¡¯t have such might.


    In recent days, Yang Xiaotian had been continuously consuming Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for cultivation; his two Martial Souls were constantly evolving and growing, especially after breaking through to the Martial King Realm, his two Martial Souls had grown even more substantial in size.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul had grown by more than tenfold since he first entered Divine Sword Academy.


    Summoning his ck Tortoise Martial Soul, and not his ck Dragon Martial Spirit, Yang Xiaotian walked straight towards the students from the three major academies.


    The students from the three major academies were shocked to discover that where Yang Xiaotian passed, a thickyer of ck ice formed.


    The astonishing chill, like invisible maggots, burrowed into their bones, and they couldn¡¯t help but shiver.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Tortoise Martial Soul emitted a dazzling light, and the dark aura became violent. The trees in the dense forest continuously frosted over with ck ice, giving everyone the feeling that they were about to be frozen solid.


    ¡°Attack!¡± Chen Hailin roared, ¡°Full power attack, anyone who dares to retreat is a traitor to the academy!¡± He led with a thrust towards Yang Xiaotian.


    With his thrust, hundreds of threadlike sword beams pierced throughyers of dark aura, aiming at Yang Xiaotian.


    This was the Great Divine Power, Thunder Light Sword, of Thunder Academy.


    The Thunder Light Sword was indeed powerful among Great Divine Powers, but it was a pity that Chen Hailin had only cultivated it to a minor state ofpletion. The sword beams hadn¡¯t even reached Yang Xiaotian before they werepletely frozen by the chill of the ck Tortoise Martial Soul and then dissipated.


    Seeing Chen Hailin make his move, the students from the three major academies alsounched their full power attacks.


    Instantly, sword beams dazzled, and knife lights were piercingly cold.


    Under the various Divine Skills of the students from the three major academies, the ck Tortoise¡¯s chill was blown away.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed, moving like a shadow, not retreating but advancing, charging into the midst of the students from the three academies.


    He didn¡¯t use a sword, relying purely on his fists. With each punchnding solidly on flesh, each strike ensured to hit a student from the academies.


    Those who were struck, just like the Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and Cheng Sheng, were sent flying backward.


    From a distance, one could see one academy student after another being ejected.


    In a short while, only dozens of students from the three major academies were left.


    Seeing student after student being sted away by Yang Xiaotian, the Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and Cheng Sheng were all trembling with fear.


    Under the anxious gaze of the three, in the blink of an eye, all the students from the three major academies were sted away by Yang Xiaotian.


    Over a hundred peopley on the ground, moaning in pain.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and Cheng Sheng, who were trying to stand up shakily, and spoke, ¡°All three of you, attack together.¡±


    This frightened the Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and Cheng Sheng so much that they almost slipped and fell again.


    ¡°We,¡± Cheng Sheng stuttered, his lips quivering, his face pale and bloodless, shaking his head, ¡°we don¡¯t want the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water anymore.¡±


    Recalling the punch Yang Xiaotian hadnded on his belly, Cheng Sheng couldn¡¯t help but tremble, no, it was more like a convulsion.


    If he were hit by Yang Xiaotian in the belly again, it wouldn¡¯t be a convulsion; it would be death.


    The Son of Thunder and Deng Yichun also shook their heads, stating they no longer wanted the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    ¡°Oh, so you don¡¯t want the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water anymore?¡± Yang Xiaotian said with an innocent smile on his face.


    The Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and Cheng Sheng all nodded gravely.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian took out three Elixirs and told them they were Control Elixirs, before having them swallow them.


    Looking at the Elixirs before them, all three had ugly expressions on their faces.


    Especially Cheng Sheng, who was raging inside; he was a member of the royal family, and yet Yang Xiaotian dared to force him to take a Control Elixir.


    However, faced with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s piercing gaze, the rage in his heart slowly dissipated.


    A short timeter, the three of them silently swallowed the Elixirs.


    Yang Xiaotian also had the students from the three major academies present swallow the Elixirs.


    After this was done, Yang Xiaotian took out supreme Endless Life Pills for everyone to swallow and heal.


    Looking at the supreme Endless Life Pills before them, the Son of Thunder and the others were all momentarily stunned..

 Chapter 121: First Layer of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water

    Chapter 121: First Layer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water


    Trantor: 549690339


    The Endless Life Pill is the best among the treasure pills for healing wounds.


    Even the mostmon Endless Life Pill has an excellent healing effect.


    However, even top-grade Endless Life Pills are rare, let alone superior or extreme-grade versions.


    As for ultimate-grade, it seems that Tiandou Imperial Kingdom hasn¡¯t seen any for many years.


    But Yang Xiaotian just took out more than a hundred.


    Where did Yang Xiaotian get these more than a hundred ultimate-grade Endless Life Pills from?


    Could it be?


    The thought that these more than one hundred ultimate-grade Endless Life Pills might have been refined by Yang Xiaotian himself made Son of Thunder and others¡¯ hearts race.


    Being able to refine ultimate-grade elixirs indicated that Yang Xiaotian possessed one of the top ten Abnormal Fires from the Abnormal Fire List.


    But even many overlords of the Azure God Continent were unable to subdue the top ten Abnormal Fires on the list, so how did Yang Xiaotian manage to do so?


    Their minds wandered with spection.


    After making Son of Thunder and the others swallow the elixirs and start their healing, Yang Xiaotian walked into the cave.


    Walking deeper along the cave, upon reaching the end, he saw a pool of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Looking at the pool of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water in front of him, Yang Xiaotian was delighted.


    Although this pool had less Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water than the previous one, it was still enough for him and the Medicine Cauldron to use for a while.


    However, what puzzled Yang Xiaotian was why there was no Tribtion power here, unlike the previous Red Moon Forest¡¯s Heavenly Tribtion Cave.


    ¡°The Red Moon Forest¡¯s Heavenly Tribtion Cave has a unique terrain, causing the Tribtion power to dissipate with difficulty. Generally, as time passes, the Tribtion power will gradually disappear,¡± Master Ding exined.


    Yang Xiaotian realized with a start.


    Just like before, Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding divided the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water in front of them, taking half each.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, this is still just singleyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water,¡± Master Ding sighed as he took away the Tribtion Thunder Water. ¡°If it were nineyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, that would be amazing.¡±


    Heavenly Tribtions are graded, from the lowest to the highest: single, double, triple, all the way to the nineyer Tribtion.


    The Thunder Water formed from a singleyer Tribtion is called singleyer Tribtion Thunder Water.


    If it¡¯s formed from a doubleyer Tribtion, the effects are many times better than that of the singleyer one.


    The best is the nineyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, a single drop of which canpletely transform a person¡¯s body.


    ¡°Be content,¡± said Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Having singleyer is already good, and you¡¯re dreaming of nineyer.¡±


    Master Ding chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s how people are; when they have nothing, a singleyer is great. But once they have a singleyer, they long for two, three, four, all the way up to nineyers.¡±


    He then said, ¡°Later on, you should find out where the Martial God powerhouses of Martial Soul World go to undergo their tribtions.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    That indeed required some thorough investigation.


    Afterward, he strolled around the underground cave and, finding nothing else of value, finally left the cave.


    Upon exiting the cave, seeing that Son of Thunder, Deng Yichun, and the others were still healing, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t leave, instead sitting down to meditate nearby.


    A few hourster, Son of Thunder and the others gradually awoke.


    The efficacy of the ultimate-grade Endless Life Pill exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Just hours ago, Son of Thunder¡¯s chest had been sted open by Yang Xiaotian, but after treatment with the potent force of the ultimate-grade Endless Life Pill, they no longer felt any pain, and their internal organs had recovered.


    Although notpletely healed, they were at least seventy to eighty percent recovered.


    Of course, this was also because Yang Xiaotian had held back during the attack; otherwise, not even ten ultimate-grade Endless Life Pills would allow them to recover.


    ¡°Hall Master Yang,¡± Son of Thunder and the others got up, came before Yang Xiaotian, and bowed in salute.


    Confronting Yang Xiaotian once again, everyone was a mix of hate, fear, awe, and respect.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up, noting that Son of Thunder and the others had mostly recovered from their injuries, then instructed them to keep today¡¯s events to themselves.


    In the midst of their uneasy hearts, Yang Xiaotian drifted away.


    Eventually, the silhouette of Yang Xiaotian vanished into the dim twilight of the dense forest.


    As they watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure disappear into the distance, Son of Thunder and the others rxed their tense bodies.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just focus on hunting demons,¡± Son of Thunder said with aplicated heart.


    However, his heart was filled with bitterness. No matter how hard he strove to hunt demons, he was doomed not to be first in this academypetition.


    Thinking of Yang Xiaotian, the Son of Thunder felt a tingling on his scalp.


    The Son of Thunder¡¯s feelings wereplex, and so were those of Deng Yichun, Cheng Sheng, and others.


    With varying emotions, everyone left the ce.


    They left behind a ground littered with destroyed trees.


    Time passed.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others had been in the demonnd for nine days.


    The end of the first round was drawing nearer and nearer.


    Outside the Royal Pce Square, masters from various academies, families, and sects were all looking forward eagerly.


    ¡°I wonder how Hall Master Yang is doing?¡± Lin Yong stared intently at the changes in the formation, worried in his heart.


    The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.


    He regretted allowing Yang Xiaotian to take the risk of entering the demonnd.


    Even at the very edge of the demonnd, the weakest demon was at the Innate


    Realm. and there were many at the King Realm


    What if Yang Xiaotian encountered a demonparable to the sixth or seventh level of the Innate Realm?


    What if Yang Xiaotian ran into a King Realm demon?


    The more Lin Yong thought about it, the more he felt like his heart was burning with urgency.


    Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and others felt the same.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Hall Master Yang, a man of fortune, will surelye back safely,¡± Chen Yuan said, seeing the anxious looks of Lin Yong, Yang Chao, and others.


    However, as he spoke, his heart was also filled with worry and anxiety.


    Finally, under the anxious waiting of Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, Yang Chao, and others, the brilliance of the formation surged and the exit of the spatial passage opened once again.


    One student after another was teleported out.


    Watching student after student being teleported out, yet seeing no sign of Yang Xiaotian, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan felt increasingly disheartened.


    Could it be?


    Just as almost all the students from the academies were about to be teleported out, suddenly, a small figure emerged from the spatial passage.


    Seeing this small figure, Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, Yang Chao, and the others could not help feeling surprised and delighted.


    The crowd hurried forward to greet him.


    ¡°Xiaotian, how are you? Are you alright?¡± Huang Ying was the first to ask.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and smiled, ¡°Mother, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Hearing this, the anxious hearts of everyone finally settled downpletely.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you came back safely,¡± Chen Yuan smiled. ¡°In the next academypetition, Hall Master Yang will definitely be among the top ten of our Divine Sea Country.¡±


    Next time? Yang Xiaotianughed inwardly, so Chen Yuan, Lin Yong, father, and mother had never considered that he could make it to the top ten of Divine Sea Country in this academypetition.


    They probably didn¡¯t even think he could pass this round.


    ¡°I passed this round,¡± Yang Xiaotian dered.


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡°Xiaotian, what did you say?¡± Yang Chao and Huang Ying could hardly believe what they had just heard.


    Yang Xiaotian took out his identity que, which was nowpletely red.


    As long as one stayed in the demonnd for ten days and hunted enough demons, the identity que would turnpletely red.


    It also meant passing the first round.


    Seeing thepletely red identity que in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, everyone was dumbfounded.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Hall Master Yang to have hunted a hundred Innate Realm demons,¡± Lin Yong said with great joy.


    ¡°Hunted a hundred Innate Realm demons?¡± At that moment, Chen Zihan, who had juste out of the spatial passage, heard this and said, ¡°I think it¡¯s more like cheating.¡±


    ¡°Many disciples of our Medicine Hall at the eighth level of the Innate Realm could not hunt a hundred Innate Realm demons, so how could Yang Xiaotian


    possibly do it?¡±

 Chapter 122 - 122 1 am not a Match for Yang Xiaotian

    Chapter 122: 1 am not a Match for Yang Xiaotian


    Trantor: 549690339


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan¡¯s brows furrowed.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, responded with a smile that infuriated Chen Zihan to the point of gritting her teeth, ¡°I cheated, do you have any evidence?¡±


    Chen Zihan, looking at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s smile, said angrily, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t be so smug. Even if you passed the first round in the Demon Beast Land, don¡¯t even think about getting through the second round.¡±


    ¡°You had better not encounter me in the second round, otherwise, I will certainly make you regret it!¡±


    Seeing Chen Zihan so itchy with rage, Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°Make me regret it? Then I might have to thank you.¡± After that, he left with the others.


    Chen Zihan watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, her anger difficult to subside.


    Although many pharmacists in the Medicine Hall now adored Yang Xiaotian fanatically, she found it very difficult to feel any fondness for him. Every time she saw Yang Xiaotian and thought about hiscent attitude, she was filled with anger and wanted to teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson, to curb his ¡°smug¡± arrogance.


    At that moment, Cheng Long came to Chen Zihan¡¯s side and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. In the second round, he won¡¯t evenst through the first match.¡±


    The second round was a set stage bout.


    This was a true test of strength.


    This time, the weakest among those participating in the academypetition were at the seventh level of the Innate realm. So, in Cheng Long¡¯s view, Yang Xiaotian would most certainly not make it through the first match.


    Thinking that Yang Xiaotian would not be able to make it through the first match shortly, Chen Zihan¡¯s expression finally improved.


    Momentster, the spatial passageway closed.


    Lin Yong looked at the now-closed spatial passageway and sighed deeply. He had already learned from other students about the death of his disciple Hu Xing in the Demon Beast Land.


    Recalling the ups and downs of the years, Lin Yong couldn¡¯t help but feel downcast.


    Once the spatial passageway was closed, the Grand Eunuch announced the situation of the first round.


    Of the more than 140,000 disciples that entered the Demon Beast Land, only over 120,000 came out.


    However, only a little over 50,000 of them had hunted enough demon beasts to meet the requirement within ten days.


    After the Grand Eunuch announced the results, he scanned the crowd and said,


    ¡°Now, we will begin the second round.¡±


    ¡°The second round will consist of arena contests.¡±


    He then briefly exined the rules of the arena contests.


    ¡°Alright, now everyone will draw lots for the first match.¡± Following the Grand Eunuch¡¯s words, everyone began to draw lots.


    Yang Xiaotian drew number two.


    The other person who drew number two was Yunhui Academy¡¯s Deng Yichun.


    As the Hall Master of the Sword Hall in Divine Sword Academy, with a twin-level eleven Martial Soul and being the first-ce winner in the Pharmacistpetition, Yang Xiaotian naturally attracted a lot of attention. Seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s first match was going to be against Yunhui Academy¡¯s Deng Yichun, the crowd could not help but be astounded.


    Chen Zihan, Cheng Long, and the others were quietly delighted to see Yang Xiaotian would face Deng Yichun in his first match.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought Yang Xiaotian¡¯s luck wouldn¡¯t be so great, facing Deng Yichun right in the first match!¡± Cheng Beibei alsoughed and said, ¡°It looks like he¡¯s in for a good show shortly.¡±


    The rtionship between Yunhui Academy and Divine Sword Academy was always hostile.


    Many who knew Deng Yichun were aware that he had an unfavorable view of Yang Xiaotian.


    While Chen Zihan was secretly delighted, she also felt somewhat regretful.


    She had hoped that she would be the one to fight against Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Chao, Lin Yong, and others showed a bitter smile upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s first match would be against Deng Yichun.


    ¡°Hall Master Yang, Deng Yichun has cultivated the Vacant Sky Seven-Star Fist Divine Skill to the pinnacle of minor achievement. You must be very careful,¡± Lin Yong opened his mouth and said to Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Xiaotian, don¡¯t overextend yourself,¡± Huang Ying also expressed concern.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°Okay, I got it.¡±


    And Deng Yichun, who drew number two for the arena, was so frightened upon seeing his first opponent would be Yang Xiaotian that his hands trembled, nearly dropping the draw slip to the ground.


    In recent days, Yang Xiaotian had be the terrifying nightmare haunting him and the Son of Thunder, among others.


    Recalling Yang Xiaotian¡¯s terrifying little pink fists, Deng Yichun couldn¡¯t help but feel his mouth go dry and his tongue parch.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯splexion was unchanged as he walked toward the second ring.


    Deng Yichun took a deep breath to calm his nerves and, with grim determination, stepped toward the second ring.


    The Son of Thunder, Cheng Sheng, Chen Hailin, Cheng Wu, and others looked at Deng Yichun heading for the second ring with faces full of pity¡ªthe poor kid, to draw anyone but Yang Xiaotian.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Yang Xiaotian and Deng Yichun arrived at the second ring.


    Standing there, Deng Yichun dared not look at Yang Xiaotian, his head lowered, never before had he felt such torment.


    Now, all he hoped for was for thepetition to start quickly and end quickly.


    ¡°The match begins!¡± Finally, the Grand Eunuch¡¯s voice rang out.


    Upon hearing the start of the match, Deng Yichun took steps toward Yang Xiaotian.


    As soon as the match began, the crowd saw Deng Yichun walk toward Yang


    Xiaotian and thought he was about to make a move, but then they saw Deng Yichun bow before Yang Xiaotian and say, ¡°Deng Yichun acknowledges that he is no match for Hall Master Yang and concedes.¡±


    ¡°I hope Hall Master Yang will graciously ept.¡±


    Deng Yichun¡¯s words stunned everyone present.


    ¡°Deng Yichun is conceding?¡± Chen Zihan murmured in disbelief, her beautiful eyes full of shock.


    Not only was he conceding, but he was also imploring Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gracious eptance?


    What was going on?


    Everyone was baffled.


    Even Cai Hao, the head of Yunhui Academy, and Cheng Kai, the King of Divine


    Sea, were astonished.


    Almost everyone couldn¡¯t understand Deng Yichun¡¯s behavior.


    As the top disciple of Yunhui Academy, Deng Yichun¡¯s strength was beyond doubt, and he was definitely a contender for the top five in this academypetition.


    Yet, he conceded to Yang Xiaotian!


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Deng Yichun, who had conceded, and nodded. Deng Yichun, who had been extremely nervous, felt as if he¡¯d been pardoned upon seeing Yang Xiaotian nod; he rxed all over, bowed in thanks to Yang Xiaotian, and then prepared to leave the ring.


    At this point, Chen Zihan suddenly spoke out angrily, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, tell us, did you bribe Deng Yichun? How many portions of premium Foundation


    Building Spiritual Liquid did you give to Deng Yichun!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Yang Xiaotian, how many portions of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid did you give to Deng Yichun?¡± Cheng Long also pointed angrily at Yang Xiaotian, then turned to Cheng Kai and said, ¡°Father, Yang Xiaotian must have bribed Deng Yichun, he¡ª¡±


    Unexpectedly, Deng Yichun shook his head and said, ¡°Hall Master Yang did not give me any premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, and indeed, I am no match for Hall Master Yang.¡±


    Cheng Long responded as if he had heard the joke of the century, ¡°You, a Martial King at the fourth level, are no match for Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    Cheng Kai, however, interrupted, ¡°Enough, Cheng Long. Deng Yichun conceded voluntarily, step back.¡±


    At his words, Cheng Long was indignant but ultimately did not dare to defy Cheng Kai¡¯s wishes and retreated in anger.


    Deng Yichun returned to the side of his fellow Yunhui Academy members,


    Cai Hao stared intently at Deng Yichun, his face extremely grim as he asked, ¡®What¡¯s going on?¡±


    He really wanted to know what was going on.


    Before thepetition, Deng Yichun had vowed to take first ce and be granted the title of Baron, but now he had directly conceded, and specifically to


    Yang Xiaotian.


    He couldn¡¯t understand.


    Nevertheless, Deng Yichun still answered, ¡°I am not a match for Yang


    Xiaotian. ¡±


    Cai Hao was so angry he felt like pping Deng Yichun.


    He, like Cheng Long and Chen Zihan and others, simply didn¡¯t believe that Deng Yichun, at the fourth level of Martial King, was no match for Yang


    Xiaotian.

    Trantor: 549690339


    Not only did Cai Hao want to smack Deng Yichun across the face, but even Luo Junpeng, the Deputy Dean of Yunhui Academy, also wanted to give Deng Yichun a p.


    Deng Yichun was their top disciple at Yunhui, the hope of the high-ranking officials of the academy.


    And he was conceding to Yang Xiaotian of his own ord?


    What nonsense about not being a match? Bullshit.


    He simply couldn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian, a freshman at Divine Sword Academy who had been practicing for less than a year, could be in the Martial King Realm, let alone stronger than Deng Yichun!


    Deng Yichun knew that people like Cai Hao and Luo Junpeng didn¡¯t believe him; feeling bitter inside, he bowed deeply to them and then retreated to the side.


    It he couldn¡¯t exin it clearly, then he wouldn¡¯t exin it at all.


    In the distance, Fang Zhi, the Dean of Thunder Academy, shook his head and said, ¡°I never thought Yunhui Academy would produce a student like Deng Yichun. If my Thunder Academy had such a student, I would choke him to death on the spot.¡±


    Fang Zhi¡¯s words made the faces of Son of Thunder, Chen Hailin, and over fifty other students twitch.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Sword Academy¡¯s camp.


    Lin Yong and Chen Yuan both looked at Yang Xiaotian returning with strange expressions on their faces.


    Although they did not believe that Yang Xiaotian had bribed Deng Yichun with the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, they also couldn¡¯t figure out what had actually happened.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying also wanted to ask Yang Xiaotian, but they didn¡¯t know how to start.


    Soon, the first round of thepetition between all students ended, and the second round began.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian drew number thirty-one.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian had drawn number thirty-one, almost everyone was searching for the other number thirty-one.


    Cheng Sheng of Divine Sea Academy was staring dumbfounded at the number in his hand, his face pale and his entire body cold.


    ¡°Brother Sheng, do you have number thirty-one in your hand?¡± asked a Divine Sea Academy student behind Cheng Sheng hesitantly.


    All eyes immediately turned towards Cheng Sheng.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s second-round opponent was Cheng Sheng of Divine Sea Academy, Lin Yong, Yang Chao, and the others were speechless¡ª howe the opponents Yang Xiaotian drew were all in theter stages of the Martial King Realm?


    It was one thing to draw Deng Yichun, who was in theter stages of the Martial King Realm, in the first round, but now he had drawn Cheng Sheng, another from the same stage, in the second round.


    Son of Thunder, who was originally on edge, breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Cheng Sheng was drawn to fight against Yang Xiaotian in the second round, avoiding a bullet once again.


    Although he knew he would have to face Yang Xiaotian sooner orter, he preferred to dy it; this way he still had a chance to make it into the top ten.


    Now, all he was asking for was the top ten.


    He didn¡¯t dare to expect first ce anymore.


    As long as he made the top ten, he had a chance of joining Tiandou Academy.


    As the disciples from various academies entered their respective rings, Yang Xiaotian and Cheng Sheng also arrived at ring number thirty-one.


    Just like the previous Deng Yichun, Cheng Sheng didn¡¯t dare to look Yang Xiaotian in the eyes.


    Now, just seeing Yang Xiaotian would provoke an urge to clutch at his own belly.


    In the past few days, every time he thought of the punch Yang Xiaotian hammered onto his belly, he felt as if his insides were churning like turbulent rivers.


    Seeing Cheng Sheng unable to look directly at Yang Xiaotian, with a demeanor almost exactly like Deng Yichun¡¯s, the audience was filled with bewildering doubts.


    ¡°Hall Master, Cheng Sheng won¡¯t be the same as Deng Yichun, will he?¡± a


    Divine Sea Academy teacher couldn¡¯t help asking the Divine Sea Hall Master.


    The Divine Sea Hall Master shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve watched Cheng Sheng grow up; I know his character very well, and he can¡¯t be bought by Yang


    Xiaotian and Divine Sword Academy.¡±


    At that moment, the Grand Eunuch announced the start of the match.


    Suddenly, Cheng Sheng clenched his fists, tookrge strides toward Yang Xiaotian, and with fists sped and body bowed, he said, ¡°Hall Master Yang is invincible and awe-inspiring. Cheng Sheng acknowledges that he is no match for a single punch from Hall Master Yang and willingly concedes.¡±


    ¡°I ask Hall Master Yang for his gracious permission.¡±


    The Divine Sea Hall Master, who had just rified Cheng Sheng¡¯s character, was dumbfounded.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Chen Zihan was shaking with anger.


    She had not expected that Yang Xiaotian would even manage to buy off Cheng Sheng.


    Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, Yang Chao, and others looked at each other in disbelief.


    What on earth was happening?


    The fact that Deng Yichun had conceded to Yang Xiaotian was already puzzling enough, but now even Cheng Sheng had voluntarily surrendered to him, which was simply iprehensible.


    Iprehensible.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you are despicable, resorting to such means to win the contest,¡± Chen Zihan reproachfully said to Yang Xiaotian.


    Implying that Yang Xiaotian and Divine Sword Academy had also bribed Cheng Sheng.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be bothered with this meddlesome woman.


    After the referee announced his victory, he returned straight to the side of his peers from Divine Sword Academy.


    When Cheng Sheng stepped out of the arena, Cheng Long stared at him coldly,


    ¡°Cheng Sheng, you are a disgrace to our Divine Sea Royal n!¡±


    ¡°Disgrace?¡± Cheng Shengughed coldly, ¡°What right do you, an idiot, have to judge me?¡±


    Idiot?


    Hearing Cheng Sheng daring to call him an idiot, Cheng Long¡¯s face turned ugly, and as he was about to say more, he saw that Cheng Sheng did not pay him any further attention and turned to leave.


    Cheng Long¡¯s face darkened, and he hummed coldly. He decided that once this academypetition was over, he would properly deal with Cheng Sheng, as well as Deng Yichun.


    Thepetition continued.


    After the second round of all student contests had ended, the third and fourth rounds followed.


    Curiously, whether in the third or fourth round, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponents were students from Divine Sea Academy and Yunhui Academy.


    These two students were among the three from major academies who he had sted off in thend of demons.


    So, unsurprisingly, like Deng Yichun and Cheng Sheng, both chose to surrender voluntarily.


    By the fifth round, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponent was a student from Thunder Academy.


    Right up until the tenth round, all of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponents were students from the three major academies whom he had subdued.


    Therefore, in all ten rounds, the students facing Yang Xiaotian all forfeited.


    Yang Xiaotian moved directly into the top hundred, and this strategy left everyone dumbfounded.


    ¡°No way, is this really allowed?¡± One n disciple swallowed and said, ¡°Just by standing there, you can make it into the top hundred of the academypetition? This will go down in the records of our Divine Sea Country academy¡¯spetition, right?¡±


    ¡°Not just in the records of our Divine Sea Country¡¯s academypetition, it could very well enter the records of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s academypetition,¡± another n disciple said shaking his head with a smile. In previous academypetitions, there had been instances of forfeiting, but never Detore nad tnere been ten consecutive opponents wno torteltecl.


    A disciple joked, ¡°What do you think, will Divine Yang¡¯s opponent in the eleventh round forfeit too?¡±


    A n discipleughed, ¡°It¡¯s quite possible. Perhaps Divine Yang¡¯s opponents will keep forfeiting, and then he¡¯ll automatically make it into the top ten of thepetition without lifting a finger.¡±


    ¡°Maybe Divine Yang won¡¯t even have to make a move and could automatically take first ce!¡± someone else joked.


    The crowd burst intoughter.


    But hearing these jesting words, Son of Thunder, Chen Hailin, Cheng Wu, and others remained silent. They knew that in three more rounds, Yang Xiaotian could seize a spot in the top ten, and with seven more rounds, he could take the first ce.


    If in the following rounds Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponents were one of them, he truly wouldn¡¯t need to do anything to im the first position.


    This was noughing matter.


    Lin Yong and Yang Chao had been anxiously concerned, but now seeing Yang Xiaotian dramatically entering the top hundred, they didn¡¯t know quite how to express their feelings at that moment..

 Chapter 124 - 124 What I s going on?

    Chapter 124: What I s going on?


    Trantor: 549690339


    After ten matches, dusk had fallen, so the battles for the top ten and the first ce would proceed the following day.


    Everyone returned to their respective residences.


    Many n and sect experts came forward to congratte Yang Xiaotian, Lin Yong, and others.


    However, while offering congrattions, it was inevitable that people felt somewhat ufortable.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s method of advancing into the top hundred was quite special.


    Cai Hao also approached and congratted Yang Xiaotian with a fist salute, his smile not reaching his eyes, ¡°Congrattions to Hall Master Yang on entering the top hundred. Hall Master Yang¡¯s strength is extraordinary, making the opponent surrender without a fight. I, Cai Hao, truly admire it in my heart.¡±


    ¡°I also wish to congratte Hall Master Yang in advance for making it into the top ten tomorrow.¡±


    Listening to Cai Hao¡¯s insincere congrattions, Yang Xiaotian indifferently said, ¡°Does Dean Cai think I can only make it into the top ten?¡±


    Cai Hao was taken aback, thenughed heartily, ¡°With Hall Master Yang¡¯s exceptional strength, you will certainly make it into the top three.¡± Having said that, he gave a fist salute and then led the students of Yunhui


    Academy away.


    Once they were far away, Cai Hao¡¯s expression darkened.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this idiot, does he really think he can take one of the top three spots?¡± Luo Junpeng could not help but say angrily.


    Deng Yichun, who was in the crowd, did not speak.


    Cai Hao nced at the silent Deng Yichun, his voice cold, ¡°Today, you have lost all face for Yunhui Academy! Tell me, why exactly?¡±


    He meant Deng Yichun¡¯s forfeit to Yang Xiaotian.


    Deng Yichun shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve said it, I¡¯m no match for Hall Master Yang.¡± He then said, ¡°I can¡¯t even take one move from Hall Master Yang.¡±


    Cai Hao and Luo Junpeng, listening to Deng Yichun¡¯s ever more outrageous ims that he couldn¡¯t even take a single strike from Yang Xiaotian, became so angry that their faces turned ashen.


    Cai Hao pointed at Deng Yichun with a menacing look in his eyes, ¡°Deng Yichun, don¡¯t think because your master is Wu Qi that I dare not expel you from Yunhui Academy!¡±


    But Deng Yichun remained unfazed, ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. It¡¯s not just me; even the Son of Thunder couldn¡¯t take a punch from Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Cai Hao was so furious he was about to explode. He angrily pointed at Deng Yichun, ¡°Even the Son of Thunder can¡¯t take a punch from Yang Xiaotian? Do you think I¡¯m an idiot?¡±


    Deng Yichun sighed inwardly and stopped exining.


    He knew any further exnation was futile.


    Just like before, he simply chose to remain silent.


    Night fell.


    The people from Divine Sword Academy, returning to their subsidiary courtyard, were notcking inughter and vocal celebration, setting up a feast to revel in their joy.


    Whereas Chen Zihan and Cheng Long, upon returning to their residence, were sullen.


    Though both had also made it into the top hundred, they could not bring themselves to feel any happiness.


    The reason was simple because Yang Xiaotian had also made it into the top hundred.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, despicable, shameless, he better not encounter me tomorrow,¡±


    Chen Zihan said indignantly. She asked Cheng Long, ¡°What did Cheng Wu say?¡±


    Cheng Sheng and Cheng Wu had been inseparable. Today, after Cheng Sheng forfeited to Yang Xiaotian, Cheng Long had asked Cheng Wu, hoping to learn from him what had happened.


    Cheng Long shook his head, ¡°Cheng Wu is unwilling to say anything.¡± Then he said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yang Xiaotian won¡¯t possibly make it into the top ten tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°He can¡¯t possibly bribe everyone.¡± The night passed uneventfully.


    Dawn began to break.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating and, alongside everyone else, left the courtyard to head to the Royal Pce Square.


    This time, it was still the Royal Pce Guard who cleared the way.


    Upon encountering Chen Zihan on the way, Chen Zihan harrumphed upon seeing the Royal Pce Guard opening the way for Yang Xiaotian.


    Reaching Royal Pce Square, they saw a sea of people.


    Today was the battle for the top ten and first ces, so even more spectators hade to watch.


    Upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, the square stirred.


    Looking at the various families and sect masters whispering to each other, Lin Yong and others¡¯ faces showed some embarrassment. Without listening, they could guess what these families and sect masters were discussing.


    After Cheng Long had intentionally spread the news, now the entire Royal City was talking about Yang Xiaotian bribing Deng Yichun and Cheng Sheng.


    Seeing the surrounding families and sect masters discussing, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained calm.


    As time psed, powerful figures from all sides arrived one after another.


    When Chen Zihan, Cheng Long, and others arrived and saw Yang Xiaotian, their faces naturally weren¡¯t pleasant.


    When it was about time, the Grand Eunuch had Yang Xiaotian, Son of Thunder,


    Chen Zihan, Cheng Long, and others enter the arena to draw lots.


    Today, in the first match, Yang Xiaotian drew number four.


    Coincidentally, the one who drew number four was Cheng Long!


    Originally, many people were guessing who Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponent would be in the first match today. When they saw Yang Xiaotian had drawn Cheng Long, there was an uproar.


    Lin Yong, Yang Chao, and others felt their hearts skip a beat upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponent for the first match was Cheng Long.


    Cheng Long, looking at the number four in his hand, was surprised at first, but then joy appeared on his face.


    King Cheng Kai of Divine Sea Country, upon seeing his son Cheng Long was to battle Yang Xiaotian, frowned and then called the Grand Eunuch over to whisper to him for a while.


    The Grand Eunuch respectfully agreed and then came to Cheng Long, lowering his voice and said, ¡°Second Prince, just now the King¡¯s decree was for you to be merciful to Yang Xiaotian in the uing match.¡±


    ¡°Even if Yang Xiaotian is to lose, he should lose with dignity.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Cheng Long outwardlyplied, ¡°I understand.¡± Yet, in his heart, he sneered. Show mercy? What a joke! In the heat of battle, no one can guarantee that his punch won¡¯t cripple Yang Xiaotian.


    Cheng Long did not take a step but instead leaped up,nding on the tform number four like a proud dragon.


    Seeing Cheng Long¡¯s eagerness, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he made his way to tform number four.


    Once Yang Xiaotian stepped onto the tform, Cheng Long looked at him and chuckled, ¡°Hall Master Yang, who would have thought, you and I shall fight in the first match today. But rest assured, I shall show mercy and only use ten percent of my strength against you.¡±


    With Cheng Long¡¯s current strength, even ten percent would be too much for many in the King Realm to withstand.


    ¡°Only ten percent of your strength?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, with a smile that was not quite a smile, ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    Cheng Longughed, ¡°I¡¯m several years older than you, Hall Master Yang. You strike first.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡± Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t waste words. With a swift movement, he was already in front of Cheng Long, throwing a punch.


    Punching power roared!


    It was like a tsunami.


    The terrifying force erupted instantaneously.


    Cheng Long, who had been calm andposed, had his expression drastically change just before Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch struck him in the abdomen.


    Thump!


    The punch was like thunder striking a drum.


    The eardrums of everyone in the Royal Pce Square vibrated.


    They saw Cheng Long being sted backwards by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch, violently crashing into the edge of the tform.


    The tform shook violently, and where Cheng Long fell, its surface cracked continuously, sending shards of stone flying.


    Many a mighty warrior were stunned.


    ¡°This, this, this!¡± Dean Cai Hao of Yunhui Academy and others were shaken by the scene before their eyes.


    Even the King of Divine Sea Country, Cheng Kai, was full of shock; Cheng Long was his son, and he clearly knew his son¡¯s strength was even more formidable than what the outside world believed.


    The outside world spected that Cheng Long was at the early stage of Martial King Fourth Layer, but his son Cheng Long¡¯s true strength was definitely beyond the early stage of Martial King Fourth Layer.


    Yet Cheng Long was knocked down by a single punch from Yang Xiaotian!


    Chen Zihan¡¯s beautiful eyes also brimmed with shock, disbelief gaping her mouth wide enough to fit arge egg.


    What¡¯s going on?!


    Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be Yang Xiaotian getting sted away by Cheng Long? How did it turn into Cheng Long being sted away by Yang Xiaotian!

 Chapter 125: Cheng Long’s Breakthrough

    Chapter 125: Cheng Long¡¯s Breakthrough


    Trantor: 549690339


    Lin Yong, Yang Chao, and others who saw Cheng Long being sted away with a single punch were also dumbfounded.


    The entire scene was as silent as death.


    Looking at Cheng Long, who had been sent flying, Cheng Sheng¡¯s recovered belly began to twitch again.


    Remembering the punch from Yang Xiaotian back in the Demon Lands, he was still filled with fear.


    Only he could understand the pain that Cheng Long was suffering at that moment.


    A punch from Yang Xiaotian to the stomach felt like a thousand cuts.


    His stomach was unbearably painful, as if it were being peeled awayyer byyer.


    That extreme pain was something Cheng Sheng would never forget in his lifetime.


    Cheng Long, having been smashed to the edge of the arena, had a face twisted with pain just like Cheng Sheng¡¯s had been once.


    He clutched his stomach, trying to cry out, but his throat could not make a sound.


    Yang Xiaotian watched Cheng Long suffering immense pain while clutching his stomach, and he did not rush to make another move; the punch he had just thrown was not just any ordinary strength but the Asura Force from one of the eleven Supreme Divine Powers left behind by Cao Shun.


    Struck by the Asura Force, one would experience extraordinary pain, as if they had taken a trip through the Asura Hell itself.


    However, he had controlled the strength well, and thatst blow wouldn¡¯t kill Cheng Long.


    After a short pause, Cheng Long struggled to stand up, clutching his belly.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian, he felt a mix of disbelief, rage, and fear; but unlike Cheng Sheng at the time, he felt more hatred and anger towards Yang Xiaotian than fear.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re asking for death!¡± Cheng Long roared hoarsely, his aura exploding all around him.


    At that moment, he was no longer hiding his true strength.


    The aura of ate-stage-fourth-level Martial King¡¯s peak surged, rming everyone around.


    ¡°Ate-stage-fourth-level Martial King¡¯s peak!¡±


    ¡°Cheng Long is actually at thete-stage-fourth-level Martial King¡¯s peak!¡± Everyone on the scene was taken aback.


    Even members of the royal family like Cheng Sheng and Cheng Wu were greatly surprised.


    They had not expected Cheng Long to be so powerful.


    ¡°Yes, ate-stage-fourth-level Martial King¡¯s peak!¡± Cheng Long¡¯s eyes were cold and fierce, and his momentum was still climbing.


    Simultaneously. a colossal shadow emerged behind Cheng Long amidst a surge of light.


    At the sight of this shadow, the crowd gasped in shock: ¡°A Red me Dragon!¡±


    The colossal shadow behind Cheng Long was, in fact, a huge dragon with mes all over its body.


    The Red me Dragon, a Supreme Martial Spirit, a top-tier level eleven Martial Soul.


    Even Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others were astounded.


    Cheng Long had hidden his power so deeply.


    Previously, the outside world had always believed that Cheng Long¡¯s Martial Soul was a top-tier level ten Earth Dragon.


    Suddenly, Cheng Long leapt up, wing at Yang Xiaotian from the sky.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I was careless just now, which let you sneak attack sessfully. I don¡¯t believe you can withstand my Soul-Splitting Dragon w!¡± Cheng Long¡¯s eyes were fierce.


    As he wed down, his hands actually transformed into dragon ws, iparably sharp with a cold glint shing.


    As he wed down, powerful w forces burst through the air.


    Before the force even touched down, the arena floor where Yang Xiaotian stood actually cracked.


    Seeing this, everyone¡¯s expressions changed.


    However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged; he too threw out his fists.


    Cheng Long saw Yang Xiaotian attempting to block his dragon w with bare fists and sneered. After soul transformation, his dragon ws wereparable to the ws of a True Dragon, able to pierce through top-grade Spirit Armor with a single strike.


    Extremely sharp indeed.


    Yang Xiaotian foolishly thought he could block his dragon w with his bare fists.


    It was pure suicide!


    Thinking of how Yang Xiaotian had just sent him flying with a punch, Cheng Long¡¯s eyes turned sinister; he would take this chance to cripple Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists.


    Boom!


    In Cheng Long¡¯s sinister gaze, his incredibly sharp dragon ws collided with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bare fists.


    The moment they collided, Cheng Long felt as if his ws had struck an imprably hard barrier of Vajra.


    Pain!


    This was Cheng Long¡¯s first sensation.


    Excruciating pain!


    This was Cheng Long¡¯s second sensation.


    Pain like drilling into the heart transmitted from the ten fingers of his ws.


    As fingers are connected to the heart, the pain twisted Cheng Long¡¯s face once again.


    In the gaze of all those present, Cheng Long let out a scream, a wail so piercing that it pained the hearts of those who heard it.


    Immediately after, Yang Xiaotian threw another punch into Cheng Long¡¯s abdomen.


    The Asura Force,yer byyer, decimated Cheng Long¡¯s internal organs, which had not yet recovered.


    It peeled away theyers of Cheng Long¡¯s abdomen.


    This time, Cheng Long was in such pain that he couldn¡¯t make a sound, his body sent flying into the air like a bouncing shrimp by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force.


    After soaring dozens of meters high, Cheng Long crashed down to the ground.


    Boom!


    The floor of the fighting arena vibrated incessantly from the impact.


    Where Cheng Long smashed down, a human-shaped pit appeared.


    Pebbles and debris scattered everywhere.


    Everyone was shocked.


    Just a moment ago, when Cheng Long was sted away, nearly everyone thought it was because Yang Xiaotian took advantage of Cheng Long¡¯s carelessness and struck a sneaky blow.


    But now, in a head-on collision,


    Cheng Long was still sent flying by a punch from Yang Xiaotian.


    And it was after his ws were shattered, that he was sted away.


    Cheng Sheng, Son of Thunder, Chen Hailin, and others, upon seeing Cheng Long punched in the abdomen by Yang Xiaotian once more, all had their eyelids twitching uncontrobly.


    On the main tform, the King of Divine Sea, Cheng Kai, seeing the dreadful state of Cheng Long being sted, furrowed his brows and was about to speak, when suddenly, he stared in astonishment at Cheng Long, who was smashed onto the ground.


    There, lying on the ground, Cheng Long¡¯s body was now surrounded by astonishing flows of energy.


    As these astonishing energy flows emerged, Cheng Long slowly stood up from the ground, trembling.


    Blood overflowed from the corner of Cheng Long¡¯s mouth; he tried hard to straighten his body, his eyes blood-red as he stared intently at Yang Xiaotian, focusing on him with a violent killing intent. His aura began to rise continuously.


    When it reached the pinnacle of thete fourthyer of the Martial King Realm, a brilliant light burst forth from Cheng Long¡¯s body, as if breaking some kind of shackle, transforming himpletely.


    ¡°This is, the fifthyer of the Martial King!¡± Lin Yong¡¯s face changed with surprise, ¡°Cheng Long has broken through to the fifthyer of the Martial


    King! ¡±


    The scene was electrifying.


    Once one entered the Martial King Realm, breakthroughs at each minor level meant vastly different levels of strength.


    Having broken through to the fifthyer of the Martial King, Cheng Long¡¯s power was absolutely beyondparison with the pinnacle of thete fourthyer he was at just a moment ago.


    Seeing Cheng Long¡¯s breakthrough, the Grand Eunuch bowed and smiled at Cheng Kai, ¡°Congrattions to Your Majesty, the Second Prince is exceptionally gifted; this breakthrough has shattered our Divine Sea Country¡¯s record.¡±


    Cheng Long was just over twenty years old; with this breakthrough, he became the youngest expert in the fifthyer of the Martial King Realm in Divine Sea Country.


    Cheng Kai also revealed a smile.


    Having broken through to the fifthyer of the Martial King Realm, Cheng Long felt the abundant True Yuan within his body, and his figure straightened once more. He looked at Yang Xiaotian, smiling ferociously, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you didn¡¯t expect this, did you? I managed to break through to the fifthyer of the Martial King Realm.¡±


    As he spoke, mes roared over his body.


    When the mes reached their peak, he suddenly thrust a punch out, ¡°me Dragon Swallowing the Heavens!¡±


    A gigantic me dragon was seen roaring as it charged toward Yang Xiaotian with his punch.


    Everywhere the Fire Dragon passed, the ground of the fighting arena was burned into stone powder.


    Seeing the might of the Fire Dragon, all the spectators¡¯ expressions changed.


    But Yang Xiaotian was as unppable as ever, meeting it with a palm strike.


    The instant he struck with his palm, behind him appeared a colossal shadow of a vajra.


    Moreover, the vajra took a solid form, as if a true Buddha had descended to the mortal world.


    In an instant, the light of the Buddha shone brightly.


    The entire audience seemed to be cloaked in ayer of Buddha¡¯s light.


    A row of colossal golden Buddha palms, like waves crashing upon the shore, confronted the Fire Dragon..

 Chapter 126: Subduing the Mount Beast

    Chapter 126: Subduing the Mount Beast


    Trantor: 549690339


    Crash!


    A row of gigantic golden Buddha palms from Yang Xiaotian collided with the imposing fire dragon.


    The fearsome fire dragon seemed to hit an indestructible golden Buddha mountain.


    Struck by the golden Buddha palms, the mes exploded wildly, lighting up the sky. When the fire dragon burst open, the entire sky above the square turned red for a moment.


    The golden Buddha palms prated the exploding fire dragon and struck Cheng Long.


    Cheng Long was sted away like a fallen leaf from the arena.


    As he flew, the Buddha palms continued to bombard him without respite.


    With each strike Cheng Long received, he vomited a mouthful of blood.


    In the end, Cheng Long was sent flying hundreds of meters straight out before crashing on the edge of the Royal Pce Square.


    Those who were initially shocked by Cheng Long¡¯s breakthrough to the fifth level of the Martial King Realm watched him being smashed on the edge of the Royal Pce Square like a dead dog, and they were all stunned.


    Even after breaking through to the fifth level of the Martial King Realm, Cheng Long still lost.


    And it was a disastrous defeat!


    From the start to the end, he couldn¡¯t make Yang Xiaotian take even a half step back.


    Chen Zihan, who had been pleased to see Cheng Long¡¯s breakthrough to the fifth level of the Martial King Realm, now looked at Cheng Long lying on the edge of the Royal Pce Square and felt a chill in her hands and feet.


    If even Cheng Long had been sted away like a dead dog, what about her, being only at the third level of the Martial King Realm?


    What would happen to her if she were to face Yang Xiaotianter?


    Cai Hao, looking at Cheng Long lying there, was shocked and couldn¡¯t help but turn to look at Deng Yichun, recalling how Deng Yichun had repeatedly said, ¡°I am no match for Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    It turns out it was true!


    Indeed, Deng Yichun stood no chance against Yang Xiaotian with just one move.


    Although Deng Yichun was the top disciple of Yunhui Academy, he still had a significant gappared to Cheng Long, who was at the fifth level of the Martial King Realm. If Cheng Long had been sted away like that by Yang Xiaotian, what chance would Deng Yichun have?


    The higher-ups of Divine Sea Academy, watching Cheng Long from afar, were shocked and also hadplex feelings. After going back yesterday, they likewise severely scolded Cheng Sheng.


    Now, they finally understood why Cheng Sheng called Cheng Long an idiot.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    While everyone was in their shock, suddenly, some students from Divine Sword Academy shouted loudly.


    More and more people joined in the shouting.


    The volume of the voices continued unabated,sting for a long time without subsiding.


    Yang Chao, watching Yang Xiaotian on the stage, shook with excitement. This kid, called Divine Yang, was his son!


    Huang Ying also had tears brimming in her eyes.


    After a while, amidst the excited cries of the crowd, the referee announced Yang Xiaotian¡¯s victory.


    Thepetition continued.


    Once the first match ended, the second match began.


    In the second match, Yang Xiaotian drew number two.


    Seeing that he drew number two again, Yang Xiaotian shook his head and smiled. It seems that in this academypetition, he and number two were quite fated, drawing it multiple times.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian draw number two, everyone involuntarily looked at the lottery numbers in their hands.


    When Chen Zihan saw the number in her hand, her pretty face instantly turned pale, and she felt as if she had been thrown into the freezing hells.


    In her hand was number two.


    Yesterday, she had been hoping to draw Yang Xiaotian today, but now, looking at the number in her hand, her eyes filled with fear as if the number was a death summons from hell.


    Seeing Chen Zihan draw number two, all the participating disciples looked at her with a mix of pity.


    Yang Xiaotian walked towards the number two stage and stood firm, looking at


    Chen Zihan.


    Almost everyone was looking at Chen Zihan.


    Chen Zihan stepped towards the number two stage with difficulty.


    She didn¡¯t even know how she made it up to the number two stage.


    Even as the match started, she was still out of sorts.


    Yang Xiaotian walked up to Chen Zihan.


    Chen Zihan, with a look of horror on her face, couldn¡¯t help but back away as Yang Xiaotian approached. Just as she was about to concede defeat, Yang Xiaotian suddenly shed closer, standing right in front of her.


    Yang Xiaotian threw a punch.


    The force of the punch howled through the air once more.


    Boom!


    The Asura Force mmed into her belly.


    Chen Zihan was rocketed backwards, just like Cheng Long before, crashing hard onto the edge of the Royal Pce Square.


    The square trembled.


    The Asura Force continued to ravage her internal organs.


    Chen Zihan grimaced in pain, her pretty face contorted. Opening her mouth, she spat out blood in great gushes.


    Along with the blood was the green bile.


    Yang Xiaotian looked coldly at this woman.


    Before today¡¯spetition, rumors that he had bribed Cheng Sheng and Deng Yichun spread throughout the Royal City, incited by this woman and Cheng Long.


    The crowd, seeing Chen Zihan being sted away, shook their heads.


    Without any surprise, Yang Xiaotian won the second match.


    Then came the third, and the fourth matches.


    Yang Xiaotian smoothly made his way into the top ten.


    In the top ten, aside from Yang Xiaotian, there were the Son of Thunder, Chen Hailin, and Cheng Wu among others.


    Of the other nine, five had experienced the devastation of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist in thend of demons and monsters.


    After another two rounds ofpetition, the top three were Yang Xiaotian, the Son of Thunder, and Chen Hailin.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian would face the Son of Thunder and Chen Hailin.


    Originally, people were looking forward to a great battle between the Son of Thunder and Yang Xiaotian, but both the Son of Thunder and Chen Hailin conceded directly when facing him.


    The crowd was somewhat disappointed.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian won the first ce in this year¡¯s Divine Sea Academypetition.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian, everyone sighed in astonishment, who could have predicted that Yang Xiaotian would be the one to take first ce in this year¡¯s Divine Sea Academypetition.


    Yang Xiaotian received his prize from the hands of Cheng Kai, the King of Divine Sea.


    When Cheng Kai was about to confer upon him the title of Baron, Yang Xiaotian shook his head and declined.


    Any title, to him, was but an empty honor.


    Moreover, having a title was not necessarily a good thing.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian refuse the title, Cheng Kai frowned, but ultimately did not insist.


    The Divine Sea Academy¡¯spetition finally came to an end.


    Powerful beings from all sides left with mixed emotions.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions returned to Divine Sword Academy¡¯s branch house, where the atmosphere was one of jubtion, and Lin Yong, the head of Divine Sword Academy, was so ted that he even performed a set of swordsmanship for everyone.


    His performance was so powerful that the sword Qi surged in all directions, making the elderly Lin Yong appear as young as a youth.


    Deep into the night, when silence prevailed.


    After the feast was over, Yang Xiaotian stood in the courtyard pondering over the journey ahead.


    There were still three months left before the Tiandou Academy¡¯s recruitment.


    Although his current strength waspletely sufficient to pass the Tiandou Academy¡¯s assessment, he could not afford to rx in the following three months, especially since he would be facing masters from forty-six kingdoms at that time.


    The next day, Cheng Kai summoned Yang Chao and Huang Ying into the pce, conferring upon them the titles of Duke and a Lady of the First Rank respectively.


    Yang Xiaotian stayed with his parents in the Royal City for two days before returning to Divine Sword City with hispanions.


    Initially, Yang Xiaotian intended to visit Wen Jingyi, but in the end, he did not.


    Upon returning to Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice his swordsmanship, the Supreme Divine Power, and the Primordial Dragon Art.


    At the same time, he studied the Supreme Divine Power ¡°Netherworld Demon Hand¡± that he had obtained from the Flying Yaksha Youxue.


    In addition, he reforged the weapons such as Youxue¡¯s tridents and broadswords into treasures, and distributed them to his subordinates, Luo Qing and Liao Kun among others.


    Ten dayster, Yang Xiaotian decided to set out for the Red Moon Forest, hoping to tame two satisfactory Mount Beasts and to search for the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure.


    Originally, Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and others intended to apany Yang Xiaotian to the Red Moon Forest, but Yang Xiaotian decided to go alone, realizing he couldn¡¯t always rely on the protection of Wu Qi and others.


    And with his current strength, he had the power to protect himself..

 Chapter 127 - 127 Azure Thunder Python

    Chapter 127: Azure Thunder Python


    Trantor: 549690339


    That evening, Yang Xiaotian set out for the Red Moon Forest.


    After he left, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Ate, Ali, and others obeyed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s orders, leading a thousand ves to the Red Moon Forest to hunt monsters as well.


    In the past few months, although the strength of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ves had continuously improved, they had not experienced any actualbat.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing and the others take the group to the Red Moon Forest for rigorous training for two months.


    Several dayster, Yang Xiaotian entered the Red Moon Forest, starting his search for a suitable mount.


    Like the Martial Souls of humans, the spirit beasts also had a hierarchy. Martial Souls ranged from one to ten levels, with the Supreme Martial Spirit being above the tenth level.


    Simrly, based on the strength of their bloodline, spirit beasts were ssified from one to ten levels, with King Beasts, Divine Beasts, and Supreme Divine Beasts above the tenth level.


    Not long after entering the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian encountered a pack of wolf beasts.


    There were many types of wolf beasts, including the Sky Wolf, the Howling Sky Wolf, the Blood Wolf, and the Silver Moon Wolf King.


    The pack he came across were Sky Wolves, swift in movement and strong in attack, a kind of seventh-level spirit beast.


    Although seventh-level spirit beasts are considered high-level, they still did not meet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s requirements. He directly sent these Sky Wolves flying with a punch.


    Yang Xiaotian continued deeper into the Red Moon Forest.


    Afterward, he encountered a Red-Tailed Poison Scorpion.


    It was not small in size, with a strong bloodline, ranking higher than the Sky Wolves as a high-tier seventh-level spirit beast. However, it still did not meet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s requirements, so he killed it with a sword thrust.


    Yang Xiaotian went further into the forest.


    A day quickly passed.


    As night fell, Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on arge tree to meditate and rest.


    Although he encountered many monsters today, they were generally mid-level, with the highest being of the seventh level.


    However, this was the perimeter of the Red Moon Forest, so it was normal not to encounter any beasts above the eighth level.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian continued deeper into the forest.


    As he ventured further, the monsters he met became increasingly powerful, some even at the Martial King Realm.


    But generally, they were only eighth-level or ninth-level bloodline beasts.


    There were no tenth-level bloodline beasts, let alone those with King-level bloodlines.


    ¡°Although the Red Moon Forest is a breeding ground for monsters, there aren¡¯t any Spirit Veins here, which makes it difficult to attract King Beasts and Divine Beasts. It¡¯s hard for you to find a King Beast or Divine Beast here,¡± Medicine Cauldron said. ¡°Unless you go somewhere else.¡±


    Somewhere else?


    Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly. ¡°Although there are a few other ces where monsters thrive within the Divine Dragon Empire, they are not within the territory of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. They are too far away, and a round trip would take more than three months.¡±


    After thinking for a while, Medicine Cauldron asked,


    ¡°Forbidden areas?¡± Yang Xiaotian said. ¡°There are a few.¡±


    One is the Heavenly Tribtion Cave they had previously visited, another is Thunder Lake, and another is Volcano.


    These three ces are extremely dangerous, and not even the strongest in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom dared to venture deep into them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go check out Thunder Lake first,¡± Medicine Cauldron suggested after some thought.


    Thunder Lake? Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brow furrowed.


    The rumor was that Thunder Lake was filled with all kinds of thunder forces, even Heavenly Thunder, which Emperors dared not approach.


    However, since Medicine Cauldron had spoken, Yang Xiaotian set his mind at ease and headed in the direction of Thunder Lake.


    Thunder Lake was far from his current location, and it took several days to reach it.


    From a great distance, Yang Xiaotian could only see the sky ahead lit up with thunder and lightning, all kinds of it¡ªHeavenly Thunder, Purple Fire Thunder, Ethereal Wood Thunder, and even Five-Colored Thunder.


    Although he was quite far away, Yang Xiaotian could still feel the terrifying power of these thunders.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was approaching Thunder Lake, its waters suddenly began to surge violently. The astonishing power of thunder spilled out, and the entireke turned wildly tumultuous.


    Seeing the various types of thunderous power gushing out like a tide, Yang Xiaotian quickly retreated in shock.


    However, as he kept retreating, theke became even more violent, continuously spilling its thunderous power outward.


    Yang Xiaotian retreated further and further.


    Finally, when Yang Xiaotian had retreated far enough,


    Thunder Lake¡¯s surface suddenly exploded with a thunderous boom, and a beast as huge as a mountain rose slowly from the depths of theke before eventuallying to rest above the surface of Thunder Lake.


    Staring at the mountainous beast enshrouded in lightning above theke, Yang Xiaotian gasped in astonishment, ¡°Is that the Azure Thunder Python?!¡± The Azure Thunder Python, an ancient Divine Beast!


    Descended from the primordial Azure Pythons and Thunder Dragons. It carries the bloodlines of both the Azure Pythons and the Thunder Dragons.


    ¡°Yes, that is the Azure Thunder Python,¡± Medicine Cauldron spoke, ¡°And by its aura, it seems it¡¯s about to undergo the Divine Tribtion.¡±


    ¡°Undergo the Divine Tribtion!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in disbelief.


    Did that not mean that this Azure Thunder Python was on the verge of attaining the Divine Spirit Realm?


    For the Human Race and mystical beasts to ovee the Divine Tribtion, sess would mean bing a Martial God, or what is referred to as the Divine Spirit Realm.


    ¡°However, this Azure Thunder Python has an old injury in its demon core, and its foundation isn¡¯t very solid. The chances of it oveing the Divine Tribtion aren¡¯t very high,¡± Medicine Cauldron shook his head.


    Seeing that Master Ding could even discern an old injury in the opponent¡¯s demon core, Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Azure Thunder Python in danger then? What are its chances of oveing the Divine Tribtion?¡±


    ¡°Only fifty percent,¡± Medicine Cauldron replied.


    Fifty percent!


    In other words, there was only a fifty percent chance of sess.


    If the Tribtion were to fail, then this Azure Thunder Python before him was facing annihtion.


    ¡°An event like the Azure Thunder Python undergoing the Divine Tribtion is


    a rare sight in a millennium. You should watch closelyter; it will help you in your future encounter with the Divine Tribtion,¡± Medicine Cauldron said.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Considering the fearsome power of the Tribtion Thunder, Yang Xiaotian retreated again, only stopping when he reached the spot that Medicine Cauldron had designated.


    No sooner had Yang Xiaotian stopped than the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s entire body red with intense lightning, and countless forces of thunder from theke began to circle around it.


    Above Red Moon Forest, the sky suddenly darkened, and a colossal ck cloud rapidly formed in the blink of an eye. Within the cloud, lightning flickered violently, and soon the lightning spread, as an overwhelming pressure enveloped the surroundings.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian was already far enough from the Azure Thunder Python, he still felt suffocated under this tremendous pressure, finding it difficult even to breathe.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Heavenly Might!¡± Medicine Cauldron dered, ¡°Fortunately, you¡¯ve already broken through to the Martial King Realm. Otherwise, just standing here would have knocked you out cold.¡±


    ¡°You should feel the Heavenly Might to its full extent. It will be beneficial to both your soul and your spirit,¡± he continued.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, facing the force of the Heavenly Might and feeling the power of Heaven and Earth contained within it.


    As the force of the Tribtion Thunder in the sky grew stronger, the face of the Azure Thunder Python above Thunder Lake turned exceedingly solemn. Its dragon scales began to tighten.


    With every bit they tightened, the lightning around its body grew more intense.


    While the Azure Thunder Python was strengthening its defenses and power, suddenly, a humming sound! A beam of thunderous light exploded from above the Nine Heavens, and a terrifying pir of lightning fell with ferocious speed and power towards the Azure Thunder Python.


    That humming, though not loud, seemed to prate deep into the soul, making Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirit tremble, while the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s mind was bombarded with ongoing explosions.

 Chapter 128: On the Brink of Death

    Chapter 128: On the Brink of Death


    Trantor: 549690339


    This is the power of Heavenly Might!


    It strikes directly at the soul!


    Shaking the very depths of the soul.


    Just as the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s mind erupted and its soul trembled, the Tribtion Thunder Pir had already thundered down upon the space above its head.


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯splexion drastically changed as it roared up to the sky, its palms furiously striking out with all its might. This force condensed its entire body¡¯s strength into a full-power blow.


    Apanied by its full-force attack, countless powers of thunder from Thunder Lake transformed into a vast river, surging towards the Tribtion Thunder Pir.


    Boom!


    The might of the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s palms shed with the thunderous power of Thunder Lake against the Tribtion Thunder Pir.


    Heaven and Earth trembled.


    A terrifying wave of air swept across countless miles.


    One after another, the towering ancient trees were uprooted.


    Some mythical beasts that couldn¡¯t escape in time were scattered, like droplets of water sshed aside.


    Under the force of the heavenly tribtion, these ordinarily formidable beasts were so fragile.


    Even Yang Xiaotian, who had already retreated time and again, was almost sted away by the astonishing st.


    Luckily, Yang Xiaotian had already circted his True Yuan to protect his body, and his legs were deeply rooted into the earth. Even so, Yang Xiaotian still shook violently from the st.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s thick True Yuan was dispersed by the impact of the st.


    One must know that Yang Xiaotian cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, the highest level of cultivation technique from the Ancient Dragon n, condensing the strongest Dragon¡¯s True Essence. Yet, before this st, it was still so fragile.


    And this was just a very small portion of the aftershock of the divine tribtion.


    Having withstood the shock of the aftershock, Yang Xiaotian felt his whole body in pain, and the scene from just moments ago still made his heart palpitate.


    All these days, he had been unwaveringly consuming Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to cultivate, tempering his viscera and strengthening his physique. However, under the previous st, his entire body had felt like it was about to fall apart.


    Such is the terror of Heavenly Tribtion.


    If such a small fraction of the aftershock was this terrifying, one can imagine how strong the tribtion force directly faced by the Azure Thunder Python was.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help looking towards the direction of Thunder Lake.


    He saw that the center of the hundred-mile-wide Thunder Lake had been sted out into a massive hole, scattering the countless gathered thunder powers everywhere.


    The entire Thunder Lake had received unimaginable damage.


    And the Azure Thunder Python had disappeared without a trace.


    A thump sounded in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart. The strike by the heavenly tribtion thunder just now hadn¡¯t killed the Azure Thunder Python, had it?


    With such a horrifying force, beingpletely obliterated wasn¡¯t impossible.


    As Yang Xiaotian thought this, the surface of Thunder Lake quaked, and a giant beast slowly emerged¡ªa sight of the Azure Thunder Python.


    Apparently, having borne the strike of the tribtion thunder, the Azure Thunder Python had been sted into the bottom of Thunder Lake.


    The re-emerging Azure Thunder Python¡¯s once bright dragon scales were now dull and without luster, ckened in many ces, and its body suffered grievous injuries.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian thought the Azure Thunder Python had narrowly survived the Divine Tribtion, the voice of the Medicine Cauldron echoed, ¡°It¡¯s still early days yet, that was just the appetizer.¡±


    An appetizer?


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned.


    Suddenly, the clouds of tribtion thunder that had dispersed above the Nine Heavens began to gather once more.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Could it be?


    ¡°You think Divine Tribtion is so easy to transcend? The next wave of tribtion thunder will be twice as strong as the previous one,¡± the Medicine


    Cauldron said.


    Twice as strong!


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was terrified.


    He had already experienced the horror of the previous thunder tribtion. If it were to be twice as powerful, how terrifying would that be?


    The Azure Thunder Python was already injured from the previous thunder tribtion. Could it withstand the next strike?


    ¡°How many more instances does the Divine Tribtion have before it ends?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°For a Divine Beast such as this, it generally must face the Three Thunder Tribtion,¡± Medicine Cauldron replied.


    Three thunders!


    It had already endured one thunder strike; thus, there were two more toe!


    ¡°And thest thunder strike will be the strongest,¡± Medicine Cauldron said. ¡°That¡¯s why I said, this Azure Thunder Python¡¯s chances of sessfully transcending Divine Tribtion are slim! Based on its current condition, unless something unexpected happens, it can only survive the first two strikes.¡±


    At that moment, the thunderclouds above the Nine Heavens expanded with terrifying speed. With each expansion, the lightning within grew stronger.


    The terrifying Heavenly Might enveloped Thunder Lake and its surroundings.


    The heavenly might just now was already horrifying, but this time, it¡¯s even stronger.


    Yang Xiaotian felt as though a great mountain was pressing down on him, rendering him utterly unable to breathe.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to retreat, the Medicine Cauldron spoke, ¡°Do not retreat! Circte your Dragon Essence and guard your mind closely!¡±


    Following the instructions, Yang Xiaotian fiercely guarded his mentality and vigorously circted his Dragon Essence. A series of True Essence Dragons coiled around his body, emitting an overwhelming aura of dragon might.


    As if sensing the dragon might emanating from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, the heavenly might became increasingly stronger and heavier.


    But Yang Xiaotian persisted, refusing to retreat, and his own dragon might grew stronger as well.


    Suddenly, the Tribtion Thunder from the Nine Heavens struck down once more.


    Heaven and Earth brightened for an instant.


    The astonishing thunder pir rotated and in the blink of an eye, it was above the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s head. This time, the pir was thicker, the lightning more intense, and its speed faster.


    When the Tribtion Thunder struck, it was like an explosion in the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s mind, causing turmoil in its soul.


    However, this time it was prepared. The moment the Tribtion Thunder came crashing down, it opened its mouth and spat out a colossal Thunder Hammer.


    This colossal Thunder Hammer, bursting with lightning, seemed poised to st through the Heavenly Capital itself.


    ¡°A Divine Artifact?!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed when he saw the huge Thunder Hammer.


    The Medicine Cauldron expressed surprise, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this Azure Thunder


    Python to actually possess a Divine Artifact.¡±


    The might of a Divine Artifact was iparable to that of any Holy or Imperial Artifacts.


    The Thunder Hammer spewed forth heavy lightning, shing against the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Pir.


    A massive boom resonated, carrying for untold distances.


    The Thunder Hammer was sted away.


    Waves of air spread out across the sky.


    The ground was ripped upyer byyer.


    The tsunami-like waves of air rushed towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian once again intensified the True Dragon Essence.


    Even so, when the wave of air surged towards him, Yang Xiaotian was still sted into the air. His clothes were blown to shreds, and he crashed hundreds of meters away before hitting the ground and continuing to retreat dozens of steps beforeing to a stop.


    Yang Xiaotian felt as if his organs had been jumbled, his body nearly falling apart.


    And the Azure Thunder Python was once again mmed into Thunder Lake by the thunder pir.


    The hole in Thunder Lake was blown even wider.


    The entire Thunder Lake was shattered into pieces.


    A long time passed without any sign of the Azure Thunder Python emerging.


    At this moment, the thunder clouds above the Nine Heavens began to gather once again.


    This time they condensed even faster, preparing to strike the Azure Thunder Python at the bottom of Thunder Lake.


    The Azure Thunder Python had no time to use the Thunder Hammer; it opened its mouth, and a heaven-shaking roar erupted as countless thunderous musical notes flew out.


    It was unleashing its Innate Divine Ability.


    At the same time, a piece of armor appeared on the body of the Azure Thunder Python.


    This piece of armor, endowed with astounding might, covered its entire body.


    Indeed, it was another Divine Artifact.


    Boom!


    The Tribtion Thunder of the Nine Heavens shattered the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s Innate Divine Ability and struck it directly.


    Earth-shaking thunder resounded.


    The Divine Armor on the Azure Thunder Python was sted apart.


    Thunder Lake waspletely destroyed, reduced to nothingness.


    The Azure Thunder Pythony at the bottom of the crater, barely clinging to life.


    ¡°Has it made it through?¡± Yang Xiaotian wondered, looking at the barely breathing Azure Thunder Python.


    Thanks to the Divine Armor, the Azure Thunder Python had managed to hold on to itsst breath.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to approach, a whooshing sound was heard. A figure crossed the sky at an extremely fast speed, arriving above Thunder Lake in the blink of an eye.


    Upon seeing this figure, Yang Xiaotian tensed up, daring not to move an inch.


    Who is this?


    ¡°Martial Saint Peak!¡±


    (Three chapters tomorrow)

 Chapter 129: Finally Saved

    Chapter 129: Finally Saved


    Trantor: 549690339


    Beneath the Martial God, there are the Martial Saints.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected that right after the Azure Thunder Python had endured its Divine Tribtion, a Martial Saint at the peak of his power would arrive.


    Moreover, it looked as if the other party had long been lying in wait on the side, not merely passing by chance.


    Yang Xiaotian guessed correctly; the neer had indeed been lying in wait for a long time.


    When the Azure Thunder Python saw the neer, its expression changed,


    ¡°Zhu Jing!¡±


    Zhu Jing stood aloft in the air, looking down at the Azure Thunder Python lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and chuckled, ¡°Old Python, an old friend is here to see you, no need for that face.¡±


    The two were indeed old acquaintances.


    A hundred years ago, Zhu Jing came to Thunder Lake to obtain the treasure of Thunder Lake and was injured by the Azure Thunder Python.


    Previously, Zhu Jing had made several attempts to return, but each time, he fled with injuries.


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s heart sank as it looked at Zhu Jing.


    If it had been before, it naturally would not have feared the opponent, but now, it had just endured its Divine Tribtion and was severely wounded.


    It nced at the Divine Armor not far away; even its Divine Armor had been shattered into pieces by the force of the Heavenly Tribtion.


    Seeing the expression on the Azure Thunder Python, Zhu Jingughed and said, ¡°Old Python, do you think you can still escape? Don¡¯t worry, out of respect for old friendship, I¡¯ll take good care of your skin and flesh.¡±


    As he said this, his eyes greedily looked over the body of the Azure Thunder Python, making no attempt to hide it.


    The Azure Thunder Python was a Divine Beast from ancient times.


    Its body was a treasure all over.


    Its blood, although notparable to Dragon Blood, still possessed half its efficacy.


    Its demon core could be used in Alchemy to help him break through to the Martial God Realm.


    Its python soul could also be refined into weapons or armor to enhance their power.


    Moreover, at the bottom of Thunder Lake, therey a treasure he had long coveted.


    Seeing Zhu Jing staring greedily at its body, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s eyes turned cold, ¡°Zhu Jing, do you truly think I have no strength left to fight back?¡±


    ¡°Even in death, I can take you down with me.¡± As it spoke, its whole body surged with thunder light, and an astonishing aura swept over heaven and earth.


    The parts of the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s body that had been destroyed by the Tribtion Thunder began to slowly heal.


    ¡°Thunder Dragon Unification Technique!¡± Zhu Jing was astonished to see this.


    The Thunder Dragon Unification Technique was an Innate Divine Ability of the Thunder Dragon n, and upon invoking it, it could heal wounds.


    However, Zhu Jing was not panicked; although the Thunder Dragon Unification


    Technique could heal wounds, it also required time, and given the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s injuries, it would take at least several months to fully recover.


    He suddenly had a long sword in his hand.


    This long sword waspletely snow-white and, upon being summoned, snowkes even began to appear in the surrounding space.


    ¡°Cold Moon of Heavenly Sword,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said gravely.


    The sword in Zhu Jing¡¯s hand was indeed one of the Heavenly Swords, Cold Moon.


    Rank seventy-three on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.


    ¡°Correct, Cold Moon of Heavenly Sword,¡± Zhu Jing said, as he funneled Holy


    Power into the Cold Moon sword. Instantly, the sword¡¯s brilliance burst forth, with even the burst alone being a hundred yards long.


    Influenced by the sword¡¯s radiance, the ground continuously froze over.


    Snowkes fell from the high sky.


    A biting cold air rushed straight towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Even with Dragon Essence Body Protection, Yang Xiaotian felt a piercing chill.


    Zhu Jing looked at the Azure Thunder Python and suddenly leaped up, shing down from mid-air.


    The terrifying Sword Qi was like a waterfall from heaven, pouring down onto the Azure Thunder Python.


    Heaven and Earth seemed to be cleaved into two by this terrifying Sword Qi.


    Suddenly, the Azure Thunder Python spun and soared like a dragon, deftly dodging the Sword Qi of Cold Moon, reaching the high sky and striking out with its paw,rge as a hill.


    Instantly, the mountain-like paw print tore through the air.


    Zhu Jing watched the paw printing at him and, remaining calm, sliced with his Cold Moon sword, splitting the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s paw print, then around his body appeared hundreds of Cold Moon swords. Hundreds of Cold Moon swords, all exactly alike and all tangible!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes narrowed: ¡°Sword Intent!¡±


    Once Swordsmanship reached Summit Mastery, the next level was Sword Intent.


    And beyond that was the embodiment of Sword Intent.


    Clearly, Zhu Jing had achieved the embodiment of Sword Intent.


    The hundreds of Cold Moon swords were the manifestation of his Sword


    Intent.


    Watching the battle between the man and the beast in the sky, Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°Master Ding, who do you think will win?


    ¡°Hard to say,¡± replied Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised; he had thought Master Ding would say Zhu Jing would win, especially since the Azure Thunder Python had just survived the Divine Tribtion and was severely injured by the Tribtion Thunder.


    Yang Xiaotian watched intently as the Azure Thunder Python and Zhu Jing exchanged blows.


    Zhu Jing¡¯s Sword Intent was powerful, filling the sky with Sword Qi, and wherever his mind reached, the Sword Qi followed, indeed extremely formidable.


    The offensive moves of the Azure Thunder Python were not as sharp as Zhu Jing¡¯s, but with every strike, it managed to break through Zhu Jing¡¯s Sword Qi, and its scales were incredibly defensive; Although Zhu Jing¡¯s Sword Qi hit its body, they were not enough to deliver a fatal blow.


    The Azure Thunder Python seemed as if it was on the brink of death, yet it never died.


    As the fight dragged on, Zhu Jing grew increasingly agitated, and suddenly, his body was engulfed by Sword Qi. He transformed into a sword, driving the sky-full of Sword Qi towards the Python.


    ¡°Old Python, take my Infinite Sword!¡±


    The sky-full of Sword Qi instantly bombarded the Python¡¯s face.


    Seeing this, the Python¡¯s eyes glinted fiercely, ¡°Dragon¡¯s Thunder Cloud!¡±


    Above the Nine Heavens, a dragon-shaped cloud suddenly appeared; filled with lightning, it struck down ferociously, engulfing Zhu Jing¡¯s sky-full of Sword Qi in an instant.


    However, at the moment when Zhu Jing¡¯s Sword Qi was submerged, it struck right below the head of the Azure Thunder Python.


    That was the most vulnerable spot for the Long n or their descendants, right where the reverse scales were located.


    With a muffled sound, Zhu Jing and the Azure Thunder Python were both sent flying. Zhu Jing spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily onto a distant mountain, causing it to copse.


    The Azure Thunder Python knocked down countless ancient trees in its flight.


    Zhu Jing tried to rise, feeling his whole body wracked with unbearable pain. He looked towards the direction of the Azure Thunder Python with both shock and fury, but in the end, he could only fly away unwillingly, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.


    The Azure Thunder Python struggled to its feet, staring in the direction where Zhu Jing vanished. Once certain of his departure and unable to sustain itself any longer, it copsed with a thunderous crash, stirring up a storm of sand that took a long time to settle.


    After a while, seeing that the Azure Thunder Python remained motionless, Yang Xiaotian finally approached it.


    The Python waspletely still, so much so that it could not even open its eyes as he drew near.


    ¡°There¡¯s barely a breath left in its heart, but it¡¯s not far from death,¡± Medicine Cauldron said.


    Yang Xiaotian frowned. The Azure Thunder Python was grievously wounded¡ªand it was lucky that it carried the ancient bloodlines of the


    Heavenly Python and the Thunder Dragon, or it might have perished already.


    After some thought, he took out a supreme Endless Life Pill, mixed it with Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and fed it to the Azure Thunder Python.


    Seeing that the Azure Thunder Python showed no sign of improvement, Yang Xiaotian took out another supreme Endless Life Pill, once again mixing it with Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and fed it to it.


    This time, the beat of the Python¡¯s heart grew noticeably stronger.


    Encouraged by this, Yang Xiaotian fed it yet another supreme Endless Life Pill.


    After administering ten supreme Endless Life Pills, the beating of the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s heart finally normalized.


    Yang Xiaotian let out a huge sigh of relief.


    The life of the Azure Thunder Python had been saved..

    Chapter 130: Iceme Qjlin


    Trantor: 549690339


    Although the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s heart veins had finally stabilized, saving its life, it remainedatose there.


    Looking at theatose Azure Thunder Python, Yang Xiaotian cut his finger, and a drop of blood flew out.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian silently chanted aplex incantation and his hands moved rapidly to form a blood rune with that drop of blood. The blood rune began to seep into the forehead of the Python.


    Then it entered deep into the python¡¯s mind.


    This was the Blood Sacrifice Technique.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian felt a connection of heart veins with the Azure Thunder Python.


    Having done all this, Yang Xiaotian stored the Azure Thunder Python inside the Medicine Cauldron.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, the Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°There are still things at the bottom of Thunder Lake.¡±


    There are still things?


    Seeing that Master Ding had made a special mention, Yang Xiaotian must have thought that the item at the bottom of Thunder Lake was extraordinary, so he flew to the sky above Thunder Lake, and then broke through the surface to dive to the bottom.


    sted by the power of Heavenly Tribtion, a terrifying hole had been hammered out at theke¡¯s bottom, seemingly bottomless.


    Yang Xiaotian surveyed the area but saw no treasures beneath theke bed.


    ¡°Fifty meters ahead on the left, underground.¡± Master Ding said, ¡°You dig down there.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian went forth fifty meters to the left and summoned a hundred treasured longswords, which formed a sword array in a five-meter cylinder, continuously rotating and pounding downward.


    Each rotation and pounding brought up arge amount of soil and rocks.


    As he dug further, he began to find golden ore.


    Atst, the ore even had a liquid form.


    Moreover, within the liquid, there was an extremely strong energy of thunder.


    Seeing the liquid, Yang Xiaotian stopped at once, eximing in surprise,


    ¡°Thunder Essence Liquid?¡±


    ¡°It is the Thunder Essence Liquid,¡± Master Ding confirmed. ¡°And it is Thunder Essence Liquid from all different types.¡±


    Thunder Essence Liquid was the most pure form of thunder energy, formed over many years as thunder energy condensed.


    This substance, like the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, had a simr effect, but where the Tribtion Thunder Water focused on Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons, the Thunder Essence Liquid concentrated on enhancing cultivation.


    Yang Xiaotian hurried to use a jade bottle to collect all the Thunder Essence Liquid from within the depths of the rocks.


    Although there was not much Thunder Essence Liquid at this ce, there were three to four hundred drops, enough for Yang Xiaotian to cultivate for some time.


    After securing the Thunder Essence Liquid, Yang Xiaotian left only after confirming there were no other treasures in Thunder Lake.


    After leaving, Yang Xiaotian found a secluded valley and swallowed a drop of Thunder Essence Liquid. Immediately, his whole body tingled, and his internal organs felt incredibly refreshed.


    Under the operation of his Primordial Dragon Art, the Thunder Essence Liquid continuously transformed into true Yuan in his Dantian.


    By the time the Thunder Essence had been fully refined, the night had deepened.


    Seeing that the Azure Thunder Python in the Medicine Cauldron had awakened, Yang Xiaotian let it out.


    The Azure Thunder Python, looking at the child before it, clearly understood the situation. After a moment of changing expressions, it transformed, taking the form of a burly middle-aged man.


    Magical beasts that be Divine Spirits could transform into human shape.


    ¡°The old python pays respects to the young master,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said, fist held in the other hand. ¡°Thank you, young master, for your rescue.¡± He knew that without Yang Xiaotian, he would have long perished.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for formalities,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he got to his feet and helped up the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°I am aware that you feel resentful right now, but in many years, you will find that following me was not a loss.¡±


    Just as the Azure Thunder Python was about to speak, suddenly, Yang


    Xiaotian¡¯s body was covered in starlight, and the me of Star flew out.


    The Azure Thunder Python looked at the me of Star on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, astonished, ¡°me of Star.¡±


    If it were just the me of Star, with his Martial God Realm power, he would not have been astonished.


    But the fact that Yang Xiaotian, a child of eight or nine, was able to tame the me of Star, ranked seventy-third on the Abnormal Fire List, truly surprised him.


    Just as the Azure Thunder Python was astonished by the me of Star, suddenly, a phoenix¡¯s cry reverberated through the valley, and a golden me covered the sky,pletely overshadowing the light of the me of Star.


    The Azure Thunder Python watched in shock as the Nine Phoenixes Golden me appeared behind Yang Xiaotian and eximed, ¡°Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡±


    His face was filled with disbelief.


    Before him, Yang Xiaotian had not only tamed the me of Star, which was ranked seventy-third on the Abnormal Fire List, but he had also tamed the Nine Phoenixes Golden me!


    The Nine Phoenixes Golden me was a top ten Abnormal Fire on the list.


    Even though he had now broken through to the Martial God Realm, he did not dare to im that he could subdue one of the top ten Abnormal Fires on the list.


    If even he, a revered Martial God, couldn¡¯t aplish this, how had Yang Xiaotian done it?


    Immediately after, Yang Xiaotian took out a peerless Endless Life Pill.


    ¡°A peerless Endless Life Pill.¡± The Azure Thunder Python looked at the peerless


    Endless Life Pill in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, then at the Nine Phoenixes Golden me and the me of Star behind him, and suddenly thought of a possibility, ¡°Could it be?¡±


    ¡°Correct, this peerless Endless Life Pill was personally refined by me.¡± Yang Xiaotian said, flicking his finger and popping the peerless Endless Life Pill in front of the Azure Thunder Python.


    Then, he let the Azure Thunder Python swallow it.


    Although the Azure Thunder Python had already woken up, its injuries were severe and had not fully healed.


    Even if it swallowed a peerless Endless Life Pill every day, the injuries of the Azure Thunder Python would take two years to fully heal, or perhaps even longer.


    The Azure Thunder Python took the peerless Endless Life Pill, swallowed it, and then sat down on the spot to refine and assimte the power of the Endless Life Pill.


    ¡°Thank you, young master.¡± After a moment, the Azure Thunder Python stood up, expressing his gratitude, and looked at Yang Xiaotian with more reverence in his demeanor.


    Yang Xiaotian spoke, ¡°I havee to the Red Moon Forest this time mainly to subdue a Mount Beast. Do you know if there are any Divine Beasts or Super Divine Beasts within the Red Moon Forest?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python thought for a moment and said, ¡°No Divine Beasts, but there is a Super Divine Beast.¡±


    ¡°A Super Divine Beast?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised and delighted.


    ¡°Yes, it is an Iceme Qilin,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°However, just like me before my breakthrough, it is at the peak of the Saint Realm.¡±


    ¡°But, it is stronger than me!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless. Stronger than the Azure Thunder Python?


    How was he supposed to subdue it?


    ¡°Even if my injuries werepletely healed, I might not be able to suppress this Iceme Qilin,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said. ¡°At best, I could only fight it to a draw.¡±


    In other words, even though the Iceme Qilin was at the peak of the Saint Realm, it could rival the Azure Thunder Python of the Divine Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Is this Iceme Qilin that powerful?¡± Yang Xiaotian was doused with a bucket of cold water.


    ¡°Yes, a Super Divine Beast is a supreme being of Heaven and Earth,¡± the Azure


    Thunder Python exined. ¡°Once a Super Divine Beast breaks through to the


    Divine Spirit Realm, its power can destroy the heavens and the earth, but for a


    Super Divine Beast to break through the Divine Spirit Realm is difficult!¡±


    ¡°The Iceme Qilin has been stalled at the peak of the Saint Realm for thousands of vears.¡±


    Stuck at the peak of the Saint Realm for thousands of years? Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mouth fell open. ¡°Then, is there a chance it might soon break through to the God Realm?¡±


    If the Iceme Qilin were about to break through to the God Realm, that would be its weakest moment.


    The Azure Thunder Python shook its head, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t break through within the next few decades.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hopes were dashed. He asked the Medicine Cauldron, asking Master Ding if he could suppress the Iceme Qilin. Master Ding chuckled and then told Yang Xiaotian to take action himself.


    Yang Xiaotian broke into a sweat..

 Chapter 131 - 131 The Girl Qjngxuan

    Chapter 131: The Girl Qjngxuan


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°I¡¯m not unwilling to help you, but I, this old one, have suffered severe damage to my Divine Essence from a devastating blow,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron. ¡°I can still protect you if needed.¡±


    ¡°But you want me to act now against a Peak Saint Realm Super Divine Beast, you¡¯re practically asking for this old one¡¯s demise.¡±


    When Medicine Cauldron reached this point, its tone suddenly shifted: ¡°However.¡±


    Upon hearing ¡®however,¡¯ Yang Xiaotian immediately brightened up: ¡°However what?¡±


    ¡°However, if you could help me find some Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water from the Nine Heavens, with enough of that, I could certainly withstand the ordeal,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian gave a wry smile; he couldn¡¯t even find the second level of Tribtion Thunder Water, let alone that from the Nine Heavens.


    The Medicine Cauldron knew how improbable it was for Yang Xiaotian to find Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water from the Nine Heavens and added: ¡°If not nine, six will do, at least six or above.¡±


    Six?


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian suddenly felt energized.


    He asked the Azure Thunder Python, ¡°Old Python, do you know where I can find Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water above level six?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python, having lived for over ten thousand years, might know something.


    However, unexpectedly, the Azure Thunder Python was stumped for a moment and then shook its head, indicating it did not know.


    Yang Xiaotian felt helpless.


    In that case, he would have to start inquiring slowly.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know about level six, but I do know that inside the True Dragon Divine Sect, there is level four Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    There¡¯s level four Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water in the True Dragon Divine Sect?


    ¡°Actually, not just the True Dragon Divine Sect; most of the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s top ten Supreme Sects have level four Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect, the


    Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, the Green Divine Sect, and the Nine Gods Pce


    all have it.¡¯


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    It was normal for behemoths like the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s top ten Supreme Sects, which had seen people oveing Divine Tribtion from generation to generation, to collect Tribtion Thunder Water over the years.


    Only level four?


    Too bad, not level six.


    In the end, after wandering around the Red Moon Forest with the Azure Thunder Python for another month and not finding another suitable Mount Beast, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to head home.


    Considering the injury of the Azure Thunder Python, Yang Xiaotian let it stay within the Medicine Cauldron to recuperate.


    At night, Yang Xiaotian built a campfire, fiddled with the roasting meat, and sipped on his specially brewed liquor.


    By this time, it was November, and it was getting somewhat cold; with the liquor warming his belly, his whole body felt toasty.


    Just when Yang Xiaotian was thoroughly enjoying his meal, suddenly, there was a rustling in the grass nearby, and then a little girl emerged.


    The girl seemed about the same age as him, exquisite and delicate, with bright eyes and fair skin, a truly perfect beauty in the making.


    Yang Xiaotian initially thought there was a spirit beast in the bushes, so he was quite surprised to see a cute little girl emerge instead.


    The fabric of the girl¡¯s clothes was very rare, but her garment was stained with quite a bit of blood, muddying its appearance.


    That blood, presumably, belonged to a spirit beast.


    Uponing out, the girl¡¯s gaze fixed on the roasted meat over Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fire, she swallowed and then spoke, ¡°Big brother, can you share some of your roasted meat with me?¡±


    She was really hungry.


    She¡¯d spent nearly the entire day battling with spirit beasts.


    Her voice was very pleasant, as if pearls were dropping onto a jade te.


    Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, ¡°Sure,e on over and have a seat.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the girl¡¯s pretty face brightened with joy, and she hurriedly ran over to sit beside the campfire.


    Yang Xiaotian took out a superior treasure knife, a special one he had forged for the convenience of cutting roasted meat, and sliced a good-sized piece of meat for the little girl.


    If Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others were here to see Yang Xiaotian using a super treasure knife to cut roasted meat, they would have been incredibly distressed.


    After receiving the roasted meat, the little girl sweetly thanked Yang Xiaotian, then began to eat up.


    Despite being very hungry, the little girl ate slowly and gracefully, tearing the meat with her small, onion-like fingers before carefully cing it into her cherry-like mouth to chew slowly and thoroughly.


    Yang Xiaotian started chatting with the little girl.


    Through conversation, he learned that the girl¡¯s name was Qingxuan.


    She had originallye to Red Moon Forest with her family elders, but they got separated during a beast tide.


    ¡°A beast tide,¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed, surprised.


    He certainly knew the terror of a beast tide.


    A beast tide was not merely hundreds or thousands of demonic beasts; it consisted of at least tens of thousands of them.


    ¡°Big brother, what¡¯s your name?¡± Little Qingxuan asked with curious eyes looking at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Why are you alone in Red Moon Forest? Did you also


    get separated trom your tamily(


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°That¡¯s not it. I came in alone to tame a mount beast. My name is Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Little Qingxuan¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°You came to Red Moon Forest alone to tame a mount beast?¡±


    In her mind, the fact that Yang Xiaotian, a child, dared to venture into Red Moon Forest alone was incredibly daring.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    ¡°Taming a mount beast is not that easy, ¡± Little Qingxuan said. ¡°You have to understand Beast Language and also know the Blood Sacrifice Technique.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, stretched out his palm, and there, lying on it, was the Azure Thunder Python shrunken many times over: ¡°I¡¯ve just tamed this one.¡±


    Little Qingxuan was surprised and then smiled sweetly, ¡°Is this little azure python your tamed mount beast? It¡¯s so cute. Is it sleeping?¡± As she said this, she stretched out her delicate finger and poked the Azure Thunder Python.


    At Little Qingxuan¡¯s poke, the Azure Thunder Python shivered all over.


    Seeing this, Little Qingxuan giggled, ¡°Look, it¡¯s shivering. Is it shy?¡±


    Shy?


    The Azure Thunder Python rolled its eyes.


    Little Qingxuanughed even harder.


    The firelight illuminated Qingxuan¡¯s face, making her appear extremely radiant and attractive. When Qingxuanughed, her eyes curved just like Wen Jingyi¡¯s did, but unlike Wen Jingyi¡¯s seductive charm, Qingxuan¡¯s was pure and endearing.


    At the same time, there was a distinctive aura about Qingxuan, akin to the saintly moon.


    After teasing the Azure Thunder Python for a while, Little Qingxuan suddenly said, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, I didn¡¯t expect you to know Beast Language and the Blood Sacrifice Technique. Beast Language is so hard to learn; I could never pick it up from my teacher.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Beast Language is actually not difficult, as long as you understand the tricks to pronunciation. It gets much easier.¡± Then, he began to teach Little Qingxuan some pronunciation techniques.


    However, after an hour of learning pronunciation techniques, Little Qingxuan became tired and fell asleep.


    The night was cold, and seeing her curled up, Yang Xiaotian took out a cloak to wrap her up.


    ¡°Mother, mother, I will be good from now on, please don¡¯t go.¡± Suddenly, Little Qingxuan muttered in her sleep, her face full of sadness.


    Looking at Little Qingxuan, Yang Xiaotian was reminded of his sister Yang Ling¡¯er at the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    He wondered how his sister was doing.


    As the night passed and dawn approached, Little Qingxuan woke up. She returned the cloak to Yang Xiaotian, smiling sweetly, ¡°Thank you, Brother


    Xiaotian. ¡±


    Yang Xiaotian got up and said, ¡°I¡¯m heading back to Divine Sea Country now.


    What about you?¡±


    Little Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll follow you back to


    Divine Sea Country first.¡±


    Red Moon Forest was perilous, and she had be separated from her family elders, making immediate contact impossible.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian and Little Qingxuan hadn¡¯t walked far, they ran into arge group of strong individuals flying toward them.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, among this group of powerhouses, there were members of the Tiandou Imperial Family, and not just them, but also high-ranking individuals from the Liuli Imperial Country.


    Yang Xiaotian made a quick assessment and reckoned there were at least high-ranking individuals from seven or eight imperial families.


    Upon sighting Little Qingxuan, the group of strong figures reacted with joy and


    simultaneously called out, ¡°Your Highness!¡±

 Chapter 132: Feel the Power of the Beast Tide

    Chapter 132: Feel the Power of the Beast Tide


    Trantor: 549690339


    Listening to Tiandou, Liuli, and the group of Unparalleled Imperial Family¡¯s experts collectively calling Little Qingxuan as ¡®Your Highness,¡¯ Yang Xiaotian was greatly shocked.


    Your Highness?


    If so many experts from the emperor kingdoms were addressing her in unison as ¡®Your Highness¡¯, then Little Qingxuan¡¯s identity was as good as revealed!


    At this moment, a middle-aged man who was leading the group stepped forward, smiling at Little Qingxuan: ¡°Qingxuan, I¡¯m d you¡¯re alright.¡±


    The absence of Qingxuan these past few days had nearly driven them mad with worry.


    ¡°Uncle Lan,¡± Little Qingxuan greeted the middle-aged man warmly, smiling: ¡°I was starved yesterday, and it was Brother Xiaotian who grilled meat for me.¡± Then she added: ¡°The grilled meat he cooked was so delicious, I¡¯ve never tasted anything like it.¡±


    Brother Xiaotian?


    Grilled meat?


    Long Lan, the middle-aged man, looked at Yang Xiaotian, surprised.


    This was the first time he had seen his niece be so close to a child her age.


    Long Lan smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Xiaotian, is it? Thank you for looking after Qingxuan yesterday.¡± He hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade box and handed it to Yang Xiaotian: ¡°As a token of gratitude, this jade box is for you.¡±


    Tiandou, Liuli, and the experts of the Unparalleled Imperial Family looked at the jade box with envy.


    Although they did not know what was inside the jade box, they were aware of Long Lan¡¯s status, and whatever he gave must be extraordinary.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the jade box but shook his head: ¡°No need, it was just a


    few pieces of grilled meat.¡±


    Long Lan was taken aback, thenughed: ¡°Do you know what¡¯s inside this jade box? The item within is not ordinary, young fellow, you might regret itter.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head: ¡°Elixirs, I have them, I¡¯m notcking.¡±


    His soul had a strong sense of perception for the smell of elixirs, allowing him to guess that there was some kind of elixir inside.


    But what he had in abundance were precisely elixirs.


    Long Lan, hearing Yang Xiaotian say he wasn¡¯tcking in elixirs, smiled faintly, didn¡¯t insist, and put away the jade box. He then said to Little


    Qingxuan: ¡°Qingxuan, shall we leave then?¡±


    The business that brought him to the Red Moon Forest was now aplished.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Little Qingxuan nodded obediently, then turned to Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you¡¯re also leaving the Red Moon Forest, so why don¡¯t youe with us?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian agree, Little Qingxuan was very happy and naturally reached out to take Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand: ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡±


    Long Lan noticed Little Qingxuan taking Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, his eyebrows furrowed, but in the end, he said nothing.


    Tiandou, Liuli, and the experts of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom looked at Yang Xiaotian with almost lethal gazes.


    Half a dayter.


    The group exited the Red Moon Forest.


    Upon parting, Little Qingxuan was visibly reluctant to leave Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Brother Xiaotian, will youe to the Divine Dragon Empire in the future? If you do, remember toe and see me in the Divine Dragon Capital.¡±


    ¡°I will visit the Divine Dragon Capital in the future,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded and said.


    He would certainly go to the Divine Dragon Capital if he were to take part in the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s examination.


    Little Qingxuan¡¯s tears turned to joy when she heard that Yang Xiaotian woulde to the Divine Dragon Capital in the future. She then gave Yang Xiaotian a dragon-shaped jade pendant and asked him to be sure to find her in the Divine Dragon Capitalter on.


    Finally, amidst the reluctance, Long Lan left with Little Qingxuan.


    As Tiandou, Liuli, and the experts of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom were about to follow, Long Lan spoke: ¡°You don¡¯t need toe,¡± his tone was calm but left no room for doubt.


    Tiandou, Liuli, and the experts of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom did not dare object, they responded respectfully and then collectively bowed deeply to send off Long Lan and Little Qingxuan.


    Only after Long Lan and Little Qingxuan were out of sight did the group dare to straighten up.


    The Crown Prince of the Tiandou Imperial Family, Xiao Yong, turned his head and his gaze fell upon Yang Xiaotian. He looked at the Jade Pendant in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and reached out his hand,manding, ¡°Give me the Jade


    Pendant!¡±


    Hearing the authoritative tone of the Crown Prince of Tiandou Imperial


    Family, Xiao Yong, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression turned cold, ¡®Give it to you?¡±


    Xiao Yong looked down at Yang Xiaotian from his lofty position, ¡°Boy, what is the Highness¡¯s status, and what is yours! You, an unknown wild brat that popped out of nowhere, do you think you are worthy of holding her Jade


    Pendant?¡±


    ¡°Having the Highness¡¯s Jade Pendant in your hands is simply a desecration of the Highness¡¯s sacred light.¡±


    Yet, the Crown Prince of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, Liu Yuan, chuckled, ¡°Xiao Yong, this Jade Pendant might not be suitable for you, right?


    My Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom has blood ties with the Highness.¡±


    With that, he looked towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, my friend, give this


    Jade Pendant to me.¡±


    Then he took out a low-grade Spirit Stone from his bosom and offered it to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You know what a low-grade Spirit Stone is, right? This one is for you.¡±


    No doubt, he wanted to exchange the low-grade Spirit Stone for the Jade Pendant in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Oh, a low-grade Spirit Stone?¡± Upon seeing that Crown Prince Liu Yuan wanted to exchange a low-grade Spirit Stone for his own Jade Pendant, Yang Xiaotian shook his head. These people really saw him as some country bumpkin, really thinking he had never seen a low-grade Spirit Stone before.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian shake his head, Liu Yuan¡¯s eyes turned cold, and just as he was about to take action, suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.


    Tremendous rumblings came from the distant ground.


    The entire ground was as if stomped upon crazily, countless times over. ¡°It¡¯s a beast tide!¡± Theplexions of the royal experts changed at once. ¡°The beast tide is rushing in this direction, let¡¯s go quickly!¡±


    Immediately, the royal experts could no longer bother with Yang Xiaotian and fled in panic.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, the Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°No need,


    since you¡¯ve never experienced a beast tide before, stay put and feel the power of the beast tide¡¯s myriad of beasts.¡± ¡°Facing the beast tide directly can greatly benefit your fortitude.¡±


    Facing the beast tide directly!


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned but then, as the Medicine Cauldron had said, he stood still, waiting for the arrival of the beast tide.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Yang Xiaotian saw the roiling sand waves at the edge of his vision.


    The sand waves surged to the sky, sweeping over heaven and earth, and engulfing everything.


    Within the sand waves, he saw various kinds of frenzied, insane demonic beasts charging forward.


    The aura of these demonic beasts was astonishing; even the weakest among them was at least of the King Realm.


    The beast tide stretched on for miles with no end in sight, and Yang Xiaotian feared there were hundreds of thousands of them!


    The sight of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts rushing together was so staggering that it shook Yang Xiaotian to the core.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian knew that both the Medicine Cauldron and the Azure Thunder Python were there, seeing hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts charging forth still made his scalp tingle with nervousness.


    The battle to death between the Azure Thunder Python and Zhu Jing was shocking, but the sight of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts in the beast tide was even more so.


    The collocation of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts, all charging at once, presented a power of nature that was beyond words.


    In his nervousness and awe, the beast tide of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts finally rushed to about a few hundred meters away from Yang Xiaotian.


    Even though they were a few hundred meters apart, a terrifying force and gale were already pouncing towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian frantically began to circte the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Instantly, over a hundred True Essence Dragons burst forth from his body, coiling around him.


    However, under the impact of the force of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts in the beast tide, the hundred or so True Essence Dragons were instantly dispersed.


    As the terrifying gale was about to blow Yang Xiaotian away, suddenly, a light enveloped him. It was the power unleashed by the Medicine Cauldron.


    At the same time, an aura of the Divine Beast King radiated from Yang


    Xiaotian¡¯s body..

 Chapter 133: Aren ‘t You Guys Coming Out?

    Chapter 133: Aren ¡®t You Guys Coming Out?


    Trantor: 549690339


    This aura of the Divine Beast King was precisely that of the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Azure Thunder Python was a descendant of the ancient Sky Pythons and Thunder Dragons.


    It was no ordinary divine beast.


    It was the king among divine beasts.


    In terms of bloodline, its bloodline was already extremely close to that of Super


    Divine Beasts.


    When the aura of the Azure Thunder Python, the Divine Beast King, spread out, the hundreds of thousands of rampaging demonic beasts all startlingly avoided Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, like the king of divine beasts, invible, unchallengeable. No matter how ferocious the beast tide was, they dared not charge at Yang Xiaotian.


    From a distance, one could see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s slender body standing unshakable amidst the hundreds of thousands of rampaging beasts, unwavering regardless of how they charged.


    Sands roiled.


    Yet, the towering waves of sand that reached ten meters before Yang Xiaotian were all blocked.


    Around Yang Xiaotian, there formed a vacuum zone.


    Terrifying power constantly assaulted Yang Xiaotian but was parted by the glow emanating from him.


    If Xiao Yong and Liu Yuan, who had fled earlier, saw this scene, they would probably drop their jaws in astonishment.


    Even the mighty individuals in the Emperor Realm or even those above Martial Venerable would be sted away and trampled into pulp faced with this beast tide.


    But Yang Xiaotian stood there, unmoving and unscathed.


    Yang Xiaotian watched as one after another powerful demonic beast charged at him. Amidst the spiritual shock, he began to directly confront the power of these beasts and the force of the hundreds of thousands in the beast tide.


    The trampling of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts on the ground sent dense vibrations resonating over and over in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ears.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, continuously revolving the Primordial Dragon Art, as an indomitable dragon presence grew stronger and stronger.


    For an instant, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he had be the ancestor of the Long n, looking down upon all beasts, soaring the skies.


    Even the Azure Thunder Python, the king of all beasts, felt a throb in its soul upon sensing the primordial dragon power from Yang Xiaotian¡ªa soul tremble from the beginning of Heaven and Earth.


    The beast tide still surged on, relentlessly charging forward.


    But the fear in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart had gradually vanished.


    Time passed, and eventually, the beast tide subsided.


    Hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts passed by Yang Xiaotian, hurtling towards the distance.


    The roiling sandstorms still danced wildly in the sky.


    Looking at the direction from which the beast tide came, Yang Xiaotian saw the ground cracked and lowered significantly, as if it had been plowed over and over.


    The countless trees that had been knocked down were trampled into dust.


    Observing the devastated ground, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, looked around, and saw that apart from the ten meters around where he stood which remained intact, the rest waspletely unrecognizable.


    The surrounding ground had sunk several meters.


    ¡°Something must be stirring in the Red Moon Forest,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said, its gaze profound as it watched the direction of the retreating beast tide.


    Yang Xiaotian was also deep in thought.


    Beast tides were rare in the Red Moon Forest, but their recent frequency was abnormal.


    ¡°This beast tide is being controlled by someone,¡± the voice of the Medicine Cauldron echoed.


    Controlled by someone?


    Generally speaking, only the Beast God of the Red Moon Forest could control such arge beast tide.


    ¡°Is it the Iceme Qilin?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The Azure Thunder Python shook its head, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, Old Bing has been in seclusion and exerting himself to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm for years, it¡¯s impossible that it¡¯s him, and with his aloof nature, he wouldn¡¯t be involved in such matters.¡±


    Suddenly, its expression became somber, ¡°Perhaps, it¡¯s that one!¡±


    ¡°That one?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked towards the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Azure Thunder Python said, ¡°In the Red Moon Forest, there has always been a powerful entity. Its strength is very likely even beyond me and Old Bing. However, neither Old Bing nor I have ever seen this entity, nor do we know its true form.¡¯


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Stronger than the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin?


    Was there really such a powerful being in the Red Moon Forest?


    What puzzled Yang Xiaotian even more was that neither the Azure Thunder Python nor the Iceme Qilin had ever seen this entity in all their years in the Red Moon Forest, not to mention not knowing what its true form was.


    Looking in the direction where the beast tide had departed, Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then left the spot.


    Considering the frequent beast tides recently and the dangers of the Red Moon Forest, after Yang Xiaotian left, he went to search for Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others.


    He had previously instructed Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others to lead a thousand ves into the Red Moon Forest to train rigorously for two months. Calcting the time, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others should still be in the Red Moon Forest now.


    Therefore, before the beast tide encountered Luo Qing and others, he needed to find Luo Qing and the rest.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left the spot, he saw that Xiao Yong, Liu Yuan, and others were retracing their steps along the same path they hade.


    The group braved the return journey naturally because of the jade pendant in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s possession.


    Once they arrived back at the spot, they all felt their hearts palpitate and shiver as they looked at the terrifying scene of destruction.


    However, after searching the area, they found no trace of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, nor the jade pendant.


    ¡°The kid should still be alive, right?¡± a Liuli Imperial Family expert spected.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, to be fair, whoever from us finds the kid will get the jade pendant,¡± Crown Prince Xiao Yong of the Tiandou Imperial Family said. After speaking, he left with his men, tearing through the sky.


    The Unparalleled Crown Prince Liu Yuan also left with his men in another direction.


    The other imperial family experts also dispersed one after another, each seeking Yang Xiaotian.


    After searching thoroughly, Yang Xiaotian still didn¡¯t find any sign of Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others. That day, while Yang Xiaotian was searching for Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others, suddenly, several figures soared into the sky andnded in front of him, blocking his way.


    Yang Xiaotian recognized that these people were the subordinates of Crown Prince Xiao Yong from the Tiandou Imperial Family.


    After stopping Yang Xiaotian, one of the guards said, ¡°Kid, you¡¯ve kept us quite busy.¡± Then he extended his hand, ¡°Hand over the jade pendant.¡±


    ¡°What if I don¡¯t hand it over?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face was calm, and on his arm appeared a small green python, which was the Azure Thunder Python.


    Another guardughed, ¡°Don¡¯t hand it over? That¡¯s not for you to decide.¡± A knife appeared in his hand as he walked towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You¡¯ll understand when you grow up, many things are not for the weak to decide.¡± After finishing his words, he casually swung the knife towards Yang Xiaotian.


    This guard was impressively a Martial King Peak.


    However, just as he lifted his knife, suddenly, the Azure Thunder Python opened its gaping maw. With a sweep, the Martial King Peak guard felt darkness before his eyes, and he was directly swallowed by the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s enormous mouth.


    The abrupt change made the others stand in shock.


    ¡°You!¡± they looked at Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python with terror.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, many things are not for the weak to decide,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were frosty.


    The Azure Thunder Python opened its gaping maw again, swallowing all the others whole.


    Their long knives fell to the ground, nging loudly.


    Yang Xiaotian turned his gaze towards the distant woods, ¡°Aren¡¯t you fellows going toe out, or should I invite you out?¡±


    Several people emerged from the distant woods, looking fearful. It was the Unparalleled Crown Prince Liu Yuan and a few of his subordinates.

 Chapter 134 - 134 Tiandou Academy Enrollment

    Chapter 134: Tiandou Academy Enrollment


    Trantor: 549690339


    Liu Yuan looked at Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python in his hand, forced himself to stay calm, and said with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a young brother to possess a beast with such formidable strength.¡±


    ¡°I am the Crown Prince Liu Yuan from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom. May I know how to address the young brother?¡±


    But Yang Xiaotian, as if he had heard nothing, walked towards Liu Yuan.


    He certainly knew that by revealing his identity as Crown Prince Liu Yuan of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, he was reminding Yang Xiaotian that if anything happened to him, the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom would not let it go.


    As Yang Xiaotian walked towards Liu Yuan, the Azure Thunder Python in his hand flew out.


    In the eyes of Liu Yuan and the others, the Azure Thunder Python, which was originally the size of a bamboo pole, began to swell incessantly.


    With each step Yang Xiaotian took, the Azure Thunder Python grew several sizes bigger.


    After Yang Xiaotian had taken more than a dozen steps, the Azure Thunder Python, covered in lightning, had grown asrge as a mountain.


    An awe-inspiring Divine Beast aura enveloped heaven and earth.


    Liu Yuan and the others, who had been harboring a glimmer of hope, werepletely scared out of their wits upon seeing the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s true form.


    ¡°The King of Divine Beasts!¡±


    ¡°The Azure Thunder Python!¡± Liu Yuan¡¯s voice trembled, filled with fear.


    He was aware of the rumors about the Red Moon Forest harboring the King of Divine Beasts, the Azure Thunder Python.


    But wasn¡¯t the King of Divine Beasts, the Azure Thunder Python, supposed to always remain at Thunder Lake? How had it now be a child¡¯s pet?


    He couldn¡¯t believe it!


    What exactly was going on?


    That was the King of Divine Beasts, the Azure Thunder Python, subdued by another! And by a child no less!


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian had arrived in front of Liu Yuan and his group.


    ¡°Liu Yuan, is it?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Liu Yuan.


    ¡°Present,¡± Liu Yuan said in terror: ¡°I am Liu Yuan.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took out a jade pendant: ¡°Did you say earlier that you wanted to buy this jade pendant in my hand for a lower grade Spirit Stone?¡±


    Liu Yuan with a tearful voice: ¡°My lord, spare my life!¡± After saying this, he began kowtowing, repeatedly knocking his head on the ground.


    His other guards were even more prostrate, begging for mercy incessantly.


    Meanwhile, the Crown Prince Xiao Yong of Tiandou, after a fruitless search for Yang Xiaotian, was growing impatient.


    ¡°Your Highness, the beast tides are frequent in the Red Moon Forest, why don¡¯t we head back to the Royal Capital?¡± Xiao Yong¡¯s guard suggested: ¡°The Red Moon Forest is vast, we don¡¯t have enough manpower, let¡¯s send more people to inquire and look for that kid after we return to the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, with the Tiandou Academy¡¯s recruitment imminent, the most important thing for Your Highness is to prepare for the Academy¡¯s examination.¡±


    Xiao Yong thought for a moment and nodded. However, remembering that the kid had made him search tirelessly in the Red Moon Forest, he couldn¡¯t help but feel irritated and said: ¡°When I find that brat, I¡¯ll y his skin!¡±


    Subsequently, Xiao Yong and his entourage left the Red Moon Forest.


    Not long after Xiao Yong and his group had left the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian, unable to find Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others, also left the forest.


    Initially, his n upon entering the Red Moon Forest was also to look for the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure, but after the Azure Thunder Python learned that the treasure he was seeking was located in the ck Snow Mountain, it suggested that Yang Xiaotian wait until March or April to enter the mountain.


    Because at this time, the weather on ck Snow Mountain was extremely harsh, with piercing cold and frequent ck snowstorms, making it exceedingly dangerous. By March or April, influenced by the weather, the ck snowstorms on ck Snow Mountain would weaken and decrease, and the cold would also lessen.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian heeded the advice of the Azure Thunder Python and decided to wait until March or April to enter ck Snow Mountain.


    Moreover, since ck Snow Mountain was near the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, it would be more convenient for him to go there once he had entered the Tiandou Academy.


    As for the Unparalleled Crown Prince Liu Yuan, Yang Xiaotian did not kill him.


    Just like with Jiang Yu before, he made Liu Yuan swallow a Control Elixir.


    Since Liu Yuan was the Crown Prince of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom and could one day ascend to the throne, he could be a considerable asset to Yang Xiaotian.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian returned to Divine Sword City, several days had passed.


    After Yang Xiaotian returned to Divine Sword City, the next day, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others also led a group of ves back to Divine Sword City.


    This return, after fighting with the beasts for many days, all the ves had undergone significant changes; not only had their actualbat experience greatly improved, but they were also calmer and less flustered when dealing with situations.


    With the bloodline of the Ancient Golden Divine Tribe, Ate and Ali had even developed the demeanor of great generals.


    Both of them had not only broken through to the Martial King Realm, but they had also reached the second level of the Martial King Realm several days earlier.


    Seeing the changes in Ate, Ali, and the others, Yang Xiaotian was very pleased.


    It seemed that letting Ate, Ali, and the others train in the Red Moon Forest was the right decision; he decided that from then on, he would send Ate, Ali, and the others to train in the Red Moon Forest several times a year.


    Onlv in this wav could Ate. Ali. and the others grow auicklv.


    Another ten days passed.


    By then, only half a month remained until the enrollment of Tiandou Academy, and Yang Xiaotian decided to set out for Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Considering the long journey and the unknowns ahead, Yang Xiaotian did not bring his parents this time.


    This time, he didn¡¯t bring many people with him, only Wu Qi, Liu An, and his six disciples, along with the Golden Armored Beast Xiao Jin.


    Of course, there was also the Azure Thunder Python.


    Before departure, Yang Xiaotian gave his parents and Luo Qing a good amount of top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.


    Originally, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also wanted to follow Yang Xiaotian, but Yang Xiaotian refused them because many affairs of the Divine Sword Academy needed their attention.


    His trip to Tiandou Imperial Kingdom was not a matter of just one or two days.


    However, Hall Master Chen Changqing and He Le insisted on apanying Yang Xiaotian, and with no choice left, he let the five of them follow him.


    Thus, everyone mounted a ck Qilin Horse and headed towards the Imperial City of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Xiao Jin also rode on top of one.


    Every time he saw Xiao Jin galloping on a ck Qilin Horse, Yang Xiaotian wanted tough.


    In these past two months, the dragon horns on Xiao Jin¡¯s head had be even sharper, its golden scales gleaming as if flowing with golden mes.


    The little guy, like Ate and Ali, had already broken through the King Realm, and his strength was even greater than Ate and Ali¡¯s.


    Ate and Ali together could barely manage toe to a draw with Xiao Jin.


    The journey was uneventful.


    After ten days, the group entered the Imperial City of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Since the enrollment of Tiandou Academy was imminent, and masters from Divine Sea Country, Wuding Country, Ancient Sword Kingdom, and the other forty-six kingdoms were all converging, the Imperial City of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom was overcrowded; the streets were packed with luxurious carriages from countless sects and families of the forty-six countries.


    Compared to these luxurious carriages, Yang Xiaotian and the others on their ck Qilin Horses seemed somewhat in.


    Chen Changqing looked at the luxury carriages filling the streets and said to Yang Xiaotian with a wry smile, ¡°Hall Master, I¡¯m afraid we will have to spend the night on the streets tonight.¡±


    Although there were still five days until the enrollment of Tiandou Academy, considering the current situation, all the rooms in the major inns were likely already overbooked.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, smiled and said, ¡°We don¡¯t need to stay at an inn, let¡¯s buy a residence directly.¡±


    After all, entering Tiandou Academy meant they would need to stay in Tiandou Imperial City for quite some time, so it would be better to buy a house directly, making it more convenient for everyone to carry out their tasks.


    Hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to buy a residence directly, He Le grinned and said, ¡°The Hall Master is truly generous.¡±


    Everyoneughed.


    So, Yang Xiaotian led the group straight to thergest real estate exchange in Tiandou Imperial City.


    However, just as they arrived at thergest real estate exchange in the Imperial City, they saw Crown Prince Xiao Yong of Tiandou Imperial Kingdoming out with his attendants and guards..

 Chapter 135: The Next Dean of the Sky Battle?

    Chapter 135: The Next Dean of the Sky Battle?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Xiao Yong had never expected to encounter Yang Xiaotian here.


    Their eyes met.


    After a brief moment of astonishment, a smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yong¡¯s face. Heughed and said, ¡°Boy, this really is a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect to run into you here.¡±


    As he said that, he stretched out his hand, looking down at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The Jade Pendant? Hand it over!¡±


    Xiao Yong¡¯s voice was loud.


    Many people in the real estate transaction hall looked over.


    ¡°Who is this kid who managed to offend His Highness the Crown Prince!¡±


    While the people around whispered among themselves, Yang Xiaotian took out the Jade Pendant. Thinking about what Xiao Yong had said earlier in the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Do you think you are worthy of possessing this Jade Pendant?¡±


    ¡°This pendant, if in the hands of an idiot like you, would desecrate its sacred light.¡±


    The people in the hall were all stunned.


    Xiao Yong was also taken aback. After the momentary pause, his face darkened like still water, his eyes fixed intently on Yang Xiaotian, ¡°What did you just say, kid?!¡±


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t hear clearly, I can have my people repeat it,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ignoring Xiao Yong¡¯s ferocious gaze.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Xiao Yong was furious.


    Xiao Yong¡¯s entourage of guards crowded around.


    Just then, a mocking voice rang out, ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t that my big brother? You¡¯re quite imposing, brother. Who are you nning to beat up so early in the morning?¡±


    Not far away, a young man who bore some resemnce to Xiao Yong approached with a group of guards.


    The neer was Xiao Yong¡¯s half-brother, Xiao Jing.


    However, the two were siblings with different mothers and had always been at odds.


    Upon seeing Xiao Jing, Xiao Yong¡¯s face sank, he said coldly, ¡°Xiao Jing, don¡¯t start trouble for no reason, or else I¡¯ll clean your clock too.¡±


    At these words, Xiao Jing grinned, ¡°I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯d take care of me.¡±


    Xiao Yong¡¯s eyes turned frosty, but at that moment, an Imperial Pce Guard came running from a distance and whispered hurriedly to Xiao Yong. Xiao Yong¡¯s expression fluctuated between dark and light before he finally left with his entourage of guards.


    Before leaving, he red fiercely at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, you just wait. Sooner orter, I¡¯ll make you realize what happens when you cross me!¡±


    After Xiao Yong had left, Xiao Jing looked at the Jade Pendant in Yang


    Xiaotian¡¯s hand and smiled at him, ¡°I am Xiao Jing, the Second Prince of Tiandou. May I know how to address this young brother?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, feeling the sameck of fondness for the smug Xiao Jing, ignored him and, with Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and others, entered the real estate transaction hall.


    Xiao Jing¡¯s smile became stiff.


    ¡°Second Highness, you helped the young man out of a tight spot, yet he didn¡¯t even offer a word of thanks and was so rude to you. It¡¯s simply ungrateful!¡± one of Xiao Jing¡¯s guards said indignantly.


    Xiao Jing, however, shook his hand and replied, ¡°Find out which country and family he belongs to. Also, find out if that Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant he


    holds is the Heavenly Dragon Pendant.¡±


    Xiao Yong, Liu Yuan, and others coveted Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heavenly Dragon Pendant not merely because it belonged to Little Qingxuan.


    The Heavenly Dragon Pendant itself was a treasure, providing many benefits to those who cultivated while wearing it.


    It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yong, Liu Yuan, and the others were so fixated on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heavenly Dragon Pendant.


    After entering the transaction hall, Yang Xiaotian called out the person in charge and then inquired about the houses currently for sale in the Imperial City.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian took a liking to a house near Tiandou Academy.


    The house was veryrge, spreading over ten acres. Everything about it was appealing, but it was expensive, priced at five million gold. Upon hearing the price, He Le and the others clicked their tongues in amazement.


    However, Yang Xiaotian directly paid the five million gold and purchased the house.


    Xiao Jing had not left yet when he saw Yang Xiaotian pay five million gold on the spot to buy the mansion, and he was shocked.


    Actually, the mansion Yang Xiaotian bought had caught the eyes of many, including himself.


    But the mansion was too expensive, and after hanging in the property transaction hall for a year, it had never sold.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian spent five million in a single move, Xiao Jing, who had not taken Yang Xiaotian seriously, was filled with surprise and suspicion.


    After Yang Xiaotian left the property transaction hall, Xiao Jing¡¯s subordinates reported back the results they had gathered.


    ¡°What, he is Yang Xiaotian? Divine Yang from the Divine Sea Country?¡± Xiao Jing was astonished by the news.


    ¡°Yes, he is none other than Yang Xiaotian from Divine Sea Country, known as Divine Yang, ¡± reported his subordinate respectfully.


    Once Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity was confirmed, Xiao Jing furrowed his brow.


    He had not expected this kid to be Yang Xiaotian!


    The Heavenly Dragon Pendant was in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands.


    This was indeed troublesome.


    During the Divine Sea Country academypetition, Yang Xiaotian, not even nine years old, had achieved the Martial King Realm, and even Cheng Long, who was at the fifth level of the Martial King realm, was no match for a single punch from him. Such a monstrous talent had even rmed the elders of Tiandou Academy.


    There were rumors that as long as Yang Xiaotian passed the Tiandou Academy assessment, he would be groomed as the next headmaster of Tiandou Academy.


    Although these were just rumors, they rarely came out of thin air.


    So, knowing that the Heavenly Dragon Pendant was in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, Xiao Jing shook his head and reluctantly abandoned the idea of seizing the Heavenly Dragon Pendant.


    Not long after Xiao Jing learned of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, Xiao Yong also became aware of it.


    ¡°So it¡¯s him!¡± Upon knowing the results, Xiao Yong¡¯s eyes grew cold.


    Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Xiao Yong, his subordinate hesitated and said, ¡°Your Highness, there are rumors that once Yang Xiaotian enters Tiandou Academy, the academy intends to groom him as the next headmaster, and that his sister is now the personally-taught disciple of the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect.¡±


    Xiao Yong sneered at the words, ¡°They intend to groom him as the next headmaster? He first needs to see if he has the chance to join Tiandou Academy!¡±


    ¡°What of his sister being a personally-taught disciple of the True Dragon Sect Master? My granduncle is the Supreme Elder of the Subduing Dragon Sword


    Sect.¡±


    Looking towards the direction of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s newly purchased mansion, Xiao Yong said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I want to see if you are as formidable as the rumors say.¡±


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me when the timees.¡±


    With these words, Xiao Yong released his aura, revealing that he was at the seventh level of the Martial King Realm!


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and others were taking a tour around their newly bought mansion.


    It had to be said that the new mansion, whether in terms of building materials oryout, was much better than Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence in Divine Sword City.


    Yang Xiaotian was very satisfied with this mansion, despite the costly five million gold price, the expenditure was worth it.


    Since the purchase procedures were already handled on the spot, Yang Xiaotian and the others moved into the mansion directly.


    After moving into the mansion, Yang Xiaotian sent Liu An and a few others out to gather information.


    At dusk, Liu An and his group reported back the important news they had gathered.


    ¡°Hall Master, there is talk that as long as you pass the Tiandou Academy assessment, the academy¡¯s higher- ups n to groom you as the next headmaster,¡± Liu An said.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°The Tiandou Academy higher-ups have never even met me, how could they rashly decide to groom me as the next headmaster? It¡¯s definitely a rumor.¡±


    Moreover, the selection of Tiandou Academy¡¯s headmaster would require undergoing rigorous tests, and since he hadn¡¯t even entered Tiandou Academy yet, how could the higher-ups possibly groom him as the next headmaster? Yang Xiaotian said to Liu An, ¡°Find out who is spreading these rumors.¡±


    Spreading such rumors, with malicious intent, clearly aimed to make him the target of many. If the rumors spread, at the time of the assessment, the disciples from the forty-six countries would certainly exclude him, target him, and even unite to attack him.


    It seemed someone did not want him to sessfully pass the Tiandou


    Academy assessment..

    Liu Anplied with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s instructions and investigated who exactly was spreading the rumors.


    After two days of relentless searching and spending tens of thousands of gold, Liu An finally found out who had been spreading the rumors.


    ¡°Oh, the ones spreading rumors are Guo Wei and Chen Yibing from Wuding Academy?¡± Yang Xiaotian was somewhat surprised.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Guo Wei and Chen Yibing,¡± Liu An said. ¡°This Guo Wei is not simple; he¡¯s the top of the rankings in the Wuding Kingdom Academy Competition. During thepetition, he defeated all his opponents with a single punch. No one could take even one of his moves.¡±


    ¡°No one could take even one of his moves?¡± Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Liu An said. ¡°Some say he is the reincarnation of an Ancient Divine


    Spirit, possessing inconceivable strength. His Martial Soul is the Ancient


    Mythical Beast, the Golden Lion King.¡±


    A level twelve peak-tier Martial Soul.


    Who would have thought Guo Wei¡¯s Martial Soul was the Golden Lion King.


    ¡°What is his strength?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Liu An shook his head: ¡°I don¡¯t know. During the Wuding Kingdom Academy Competition, Guo Wei never revealed his true strength. Like the young master, he uses only his fists, not even a weapon. Chen Yibing, the second-ranked in the Wuding Kingdom Academy Competition, is at the mid-stage of Martial King Level Five, but he too was defeated by Guo Wei in a single strike.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Guo Wei, just like the young master, is a Martial Dao prodigy and also a Sword Dao Genius. Even the Dean of Wuding Academy admitted that he couldn¡¯tpare with Guo Wei¡¯s swordsmanship talent,¡± Liu An continued.


    Yang Xiaotian said nothing, listening to Liu An speak further.


    ¡°In this round of Tiandou Academy¡¯s new student assessments, there are three hot candidates for the championship,¡± Liu An added. ¡°Guo Wei is one of them, and moreover, he is the most likely to win.¡±


    ¡°Who are the other two?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked curiously.


    ¡°The other two, one is Crown Prince Xiao Yong of Tiandou, and the other is Lin Xiao from War God Academy,¡± replied Liu An.


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. ¡°Crown Prince Xiao Yong?¡±


    He hadn¡¯t expected Crown Prince Xiao Yong to be one of the three hot favorites to win the championship.


    ¡°Xiao Yong is no simple character either,¡± Liu An said. ¡°His realm is at Martial


    King Level Seven. The Tiandou Imperial Family has an Ancient Cultivation Technique called Stars Infinity Technique, extremely powerful, and it is the most formidable technique of the Tiandou Imperial Family. Besides the


    Ancestor of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, only Xiao Yong has mastered it.¡± ¡°Xiao Yong¡¯s Martial Soul is that of the Ancient Ster Gods.¡±


    Hearing that Xiao Yong¡¯s Martial Soul was that of the Ancient Ster Gods, Yang Xiaotian was amazed. Such a Martial Soul was extremely rare.


    ¡°Which of the Ancient Ster Gods?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    There are many Ancient Ster Gods, with varying degrees of strength.


    ¡°That, I¡¯m not sure,¡± Liu An replied, shaking his head.


    Then he started talking about Lin Xiao from the War God Academy.


    Among the surrounding forty-six kingdoms, War God Academy is known as the number one academy in Haohan Kingdom, gloriously renowned, standing side by side with Wuding Academy and Ancient Sword Academy as one of the top three academies.


    Lin Xiao is War God Academy¡¯s number one and also the winner of the Haohan Kingdom Academy Competition.


    Like Guo Wei, when Lin Xiao participated in the Haohan Kingdom Academy Competition, he defeated his opponents with just his bare fists, and he did so with ease.


    ¡°By the way, Lin Xiao was born with a Divine Body,¡± Liu An said gravely. ¡°It is the Thousandfold Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°The Thousandfold Divine Body!¡± Yang Xiaotian was moved.


    Being born with a special physique is extremely rare. However, special physiques vary in strength. Take the Body of Sr Thunder from the Son of Thunder, for example, it¡¯s quite good, but whenpared to a Divine Body, it¡¯s vastly inferior.


    Moreover, the Thousandfold Divine Body is among the higher ranks of Divine Bodies.


    The Thousandfold Divine Body is truly of infinite strength.


    One with a Divine Body can wield any martial arts or Divine Skills with incredible power.


    A talent with a Divine Body is almost as rare as one with a Supreme Martial


    Spirit.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart surged with emotion.


    Originally, he thought that being the first in the neer assessment at the Tiandou Academy would be unchallenging; now, it seemed there was indeed some challenge to it.


    ¡°Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, Lin Xiao!¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    He was now looking forward to the neer assessment at the Tiandou


    Academy.


    The next day.


    As Yang Xiaotian was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, Xiao Jin walked in,ining of boredom and stuffiness.


    Seeing Xiao Jin¡¯s pouting expression, Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°You¡¯re not bored, you¡¯re just craving sweets, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Xiao Jin sheepishly scratched his head, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the lollipops in the Tiandou Imperial City are really tasty.¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed heartily; this little guy was indeed longing for lollipops.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go buy some candy,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    Xiao Jin was instantly overjoyed.


    Without telling everyone else, Yang Xiaotian left the residence with Xiao Jin.


    After inquiring about the most famous snack shop in the Tiandou Imperial City, the two headed in that direction.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian and Xiao Jin arrived at the snack shop.


    Yang Xiaotian bought Xiao Jin an extrarge lollipop and got himself a pack of nuts from Huaguo Mountain, which both he and his sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, were fond of.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and Xiao Jin turned to leave the snack shop, they saw someone being propelled toward them by someone else¡¯s forceful shove.


    Yang Xiaotian swiftly caught the person by the back with one hand, preventing a collision. However, the nuts he was holding fell and scattered on the ground.


    The person turned around to thank Yang Xiaotian, only to freeze in surprise, ¡°Hall Master Yang.¡±


    It was none other than Chen Hailin from the Thunder Academy.


    Chen Hailin¡¯s mouth was bleeding, and there was a fist imprint on his chest, clearly indicating that the punch he had just received was no light matter.


    Although Chen Hailin belonged to the Thunder Academy, he had already pledged allegiance to the Son of Thunder who was under Yang Xiaotian¡¯smand, so seeing Chen Hailin beaten upset Yang Xiaotian, prompting him to frown and look towards the other party.


    Four people on the other side.


    They were all wearing the Wuding Academy¡¯s battle robe, indicating they were students of Wuding Academy.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked Chen Hailin.


    ¡°The people from Wuding Academy have always bullied our Thunder Academy. Today, when I went out to buy some things, I bumped into them,¡± Chen Hailin exined. ¡°The four of them attacked me as soon as they saw me.¡±


    At that moment, the four from Wuding Academy approached.


    As they came over, they crushed the nuts that had fallen to the ground under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet.


    ¡°You stepped on my nuts,¡± Yang Xiaotian warned.


    The group looked stunned and nced at the nuts under their feet.


    One of themughed, ¡°Kid, these nuts are yours?¡± With that, he viciously trampled on the nuts under his feet, crushing them into a pulp.


    ¡°Not only have I stepped on them, but now I¡¯ve crushed them to a pulp. How about it, should I give you a silver coin to buy them back?¡±


    The othersughed aloud.


    However, as theughter rang out, suddenly, a figure shed, and Yang Xiaotian was already in front of him.


    Yang Xiaotian reached out and grabbed the other¡¯s neck.


    The student from Wuding Academy was lifted off the ground by Yang Xiaotian as if he were lifting a duck, and then Yang Xiaotian sent a fierce punch to his stomach..

 Chapter 137: I hope you I re not blasted away by my punch then.

    Chapter 137: I hope you I re not sted away by my punch then.


    Trantor: 549690339


    Boom!


    A massive crash reverberated.


    It reached the ears of the people surrounding the street.


    They saw the Wuding Academy student being held up by Yang Xiaotian, blown into the air with a single punch.


    Just like Cheng Long before, he flew dozens of meters into the sky before plummeting to the ground.


    Thud!


    The impact made the ground tremble fiercely.


    The ground around them fractured with spiderweb-like cracks.


    And therey the Wuding Academy student, convulsing mightily.


    Not just his belly was spasming; his whole body trembled in agony, his face twisted with pain.


    Watching the Wuding Academy student lying there like a toad, convulsing in anguish, Chen Hailin took a deep breath; it felt extremely satisfying.


    The other three students from Wuding Academy were stunned.


    The one sent soaring by Yang Xiaotian was the strongest among the four, at the early peak of Martial King Quadruple.


    An early peak of Martial King Quadruple, just like that, punched into the sky by a little brat!


    Then lying there, unable to painfully stand up?


    The three looked at Yang Xiaotian, utterly shocked.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± One of them suddenly recalled someone, and hisplexion drastically changed: ¡°Divine Yang?¡±


    Upon hearing that this kid might be Divine Yang, the other two also had stark shifts in their expressions.


    Indeed, in the neighboring countries, which child possesses such terrifying strength? It must be Divine Yang!


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the three¡¯s feet: ¡°You stepped on my nuts.¡± Then he began walking toward them.


    The three saw the nuts underneath their feet, crushed to bits, and were so frightened that they immediately sprang up and stepped aside; however, as soon as they moved their feet, they stepped on more nuts beside them.


    ¡°Crack,¡± a crisp sound echoed.


    Their faces turned ashen, filled with horror as they looked at the nuts they had just crushed underfoot, as if they were looking at their own crushed ¡°berries.¡±


    They didn¡¯t dare to move again, and as Yang Xiaotian approached, they quickly waved their hands.


    ¡°Divine Yang, we¡¯llpensate you. However much you paid, we¡¯ll reimburse you in full,¡± one of them quickly said, then started to reach into his pocket for money.


    That was when Xiao Jin, who was gleefully sucking on a lollipop, spoke up: ¡°My


    master just bought those nuts, more than ten thousand gold.¡±


    ¡°More than ten thousand gold!¡± The Wuding Academy student who was about to pull out money choked, wearing an ugly expression as he looked at Xiao Jin.


    Yang Xiaotian also nced at Xiao Jin, noting for the first time that this little guy had some thick skin.


    ¡°More than ten thousand gold? What nuts are so expensive?¡± Another Wuding Academy student asked angrily, staring at Xiao Jin.


    Xiao Jin stated: ¡°My master¡¯s nuts are one of a kind. Of course, they¡¯re expensive.¡±


    Seeing Xiao Jin¡¯s earnest expression, several Wuding Academy students were so irate they nearly spat blood.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this is extortion!¡± One of the Wuding Academy students raged:


    ¡°Don¡¯t think just because you¡¯re strong that you¡¯re untouchable. Our Senior Brother Guo Wei could suppress you with just one hand!¡±


    Another student simrly shouted in anger: ¡°Forget Senior Brother Guo Wei, even our Senior Brother Yibing could easily defeat you with one hand!¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he continued to walk toward the three.


    The three exchanged a nce and suddenly leaped up at once, attacking Yang Xiaotian from three different directions simultaneously.


    ¡°Hundred Break God Fist!¡±


    ¡°Invincible Among Thousands!¡±


    Stunning fist power enveloped the heavens and earth, hurtling towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Hundred Break God Fist was a Great Divine Power from Wuding Academy, and among the various Great Divine Powers of the academy, it was known for its formidable strength.


    All three were at the peak of Martial King Triple, and executing it together made it even more potent.


    Under thebined power of their Hundred Break God Fist, Yang Xiaotian was like a tiny boat in a raging storm, liable to be obliterated at any moment.


    Yang Xiaotian watched as the overwhelming force of the Hundred Break God Fist bore down upon him, allowing the strength of the three punches to bombard his body.


    Boom!


    Thebined force of the three men¡¯s Hundred Break God Fistsnded squarely on Yang Xiaotian.


    Following their surprise, the faces of the three from Wuding Academy lit up with joy.


    They had not expected their strike to seed.


    If they could defeat Yang Xiaotian, then surely, it would greatly boost the reputation of their Wuding Academy.


    Just as the three were jubnt, about to strike again, their smiles froze on their faces. They saw Yang Xiaotian standing in the same spot,pletely unharmed.


    This!


    The three couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Yang Xiaotian had just taken a strike from theirbined Hundred Break God Fists and was seemingly uninjured.


    While the three were shocked, a figure shed before them; Yang Xiaotian had already appeared in front of the trio and threw a punch.


    Bang!


    Three Asura Force fist imprints simultaneously struck the three men.


    Instantly, the trio felt as though they had been hit by a massive mountain, followed by an extreme pain that radiated from their internal organs.


    When the three crashed into the end of the street, each of them clutched their bellies, curled up together, tears actually streaming from their eyes.


    It was from the Dain.


    The extreme agony made them feel as though their entire stomachs no longer belonged to them.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold as he watched the few from Wuding Academy curled up there, tears streaming down their faces.


    The Asura Force really was unfailingly effective.


    Yang Xiaotian spared the four no further thought and spent another silver coin to buy another batch of nuts from a nearby shop.


    However, as he passed by the four of them, one of them stared at Yang Xiaotian with hatred in his eyes, his voice hoarse, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, wait for the Tiandou Academy new student assessment. Our Senior Brother Guo Wei will avenge us; he will crush you, crush you viciously!¡±


    At that moment, Xiao Jin just happened to pass by and ¡°identally¡± stepped on the other person¡¯s foot.


    ¡°Ouch!¡±


    The Wuding Academy student screamed, his face contorted with pain.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait and see how your Senior Brother Guo Wei will crush me.¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently as he and Xiao Jin walked off, with Chen Hailin quickly following behind.


    Some timeter, Yang Xiaotian and Chen Hailin went their separate ways, and he returned to his residence with Xiao Jin.


    When other students from Wuding Academy arrived and saw the four people curled up on the ground in agony, they were both shocked and angry.


    In the end, the four had to be carried back.


    Guo Wei¡¯s expression darkened as he looked at the four being carried back,


    ¡°Who did this?¡±


    ¡°It was Yang Xiaotian,¡± one of them said with a crying tone, ¡°Senior Brother Guo Wei, Yang Xiaotian is too bullying. We just crushed his nuts and he sted us in the belly.¡±


    Crushed nuts.


    And then sted in the belly?


    Upon hearing that the assant was Yang Xiaotian, Guo Wei¡¯s voice turned cold, ¡°What exactly happened?¡±


    The four recounted the entire incident in detail.


    ¡°Senior Brother, Yang Xiaotian is clearly looking for trouble. We just crushed his nuts and he sted us like this.¡± The student who had been sted away firstined, ¡°And when we mentioned you, he didn¡¯t take you seriously at all.¡¯


    Guo Wei¡¯s eyes grew cold, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, thinking he can provoke our


    Wuding Academy just because he has a sister, is truly seeking death!¡±


    Chen Yibing pondered and said, ¡°Although Yang Xiaotian is arrogant, his strength cannot be underestimated. Ah Fei and the other two¡¯s Hundred Break God Fists struck with all their might, yet he was unscathed. It seems his physical defense is extremely strong.¡±


    Guo Wei nced at Chen Yibing and said, ¡°I have painstakingly cultivated the Ancient Strongest Body Refining Art. No matter how strong his body may be, can it really be stronger than mine? With all my power in one punch, I can explode an Azure Bear of the Martial King¡¯s sixth level.¡±


    ¡°I hope he doesn¡¯t explode from my punch by then.¡±


    (Editors gave good news today, saying the book¡¯s performance is not bad..


    Brothers, let¡¯s rally!)

 Chapter 138: 1314 People

    Chapter 138: 1314 People


    Trantor: 549690339


    Guo Wei¡¯s voice echoed in the great hall.


    It was no wonder that Guo Wei was so confident, only he knew deeply how terrifying the Ancient Strongest Body Refining Art he cultivated truly was.


    When he participated in the academypetition of Wuding Kingdom, he had always suppressed his strength, using only a small portion of his power with each punch.


    Because he was afraid that if he struck with his full strength, all thepeting disciples from Wuding Country would be sted apart.


    Just as Guo Wei was concerned that his full-force punch might blow Yang Xiaotian apart, the higher-ups of Tiandou Academy were discussing the situation of this year¡¯s enrollment.


    Dean Xie Hong of Tiandou Academy looked at the various elders and smiled, ¡°This time, who do you think will take first ce? Is it Guo Wei, or Xiao Yong and Lin Xiao?¡±


    Clearly, Xie Hong and the other high-level officials also unanimously favored Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao, believing that the three of them had the highest chance of securing the top spot in this new student assessment.


    Based on the strength disyed by various students during the academypetition among the forty-six countries, there was no doubt that Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao were the strongest.


    The Great Elder Zhong Yun of Tiandou Academyughed and said, ¡°I favor Guo Wei. It is said that Guo Wei has cultivated the Ancient Body Refinement Art and his physical body is extremely terrifying, his iron fists are indestructible, and nobody can withstand a punch from him.¡±


    He continued, ¡°Furthermore, everyone knows about his swordsmanship talent, being the most talented in swordsmanship that Wuding Academy has seen in hundreds of years.¡±


    ¡°I have talked with the Dean of Wuding Academy, and Guo Wei has already perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.


    ¡°What, he perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm?¡± Vice Dean Fan Riquan couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Supreme Divine Power is extremely difficult to cultivate; many strong cultivators cannot perfect even one Supreme Divine Power in their lifetime.


    Yet Guo Wei perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm.


    The key point is that Guo Wei was only in his twenties!


    Such Sword Dao talent is indeed rare.


    ¡°Yes, half a year ago, Guo Wei had already perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm,¡± the Great Elder Zhong Yun said. ¡°Now, it¡¯s possible that Guo Wei has already perfected three Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm.¡±


    Three Supreme Divine Powers, Perfection Realm!


    Xie Hong and the high-level officials of Wuding Academy were shaken.


    ¡°If this is true, then Guo Wei¡¯s swordsmanship talent is absolutely the highest among the more than four hundred students participating in the assessment. Even Yang Xiaotian cannotpare to Guo Wei, ¡± Xie Hong eximed.


    Although Yang Xiaotian hadprehended a hundred Stone Swords from Divine Sword Academy, in the eyes of Xie Hong and others, Guo Wei¡¯s talent in swordsmanship was even greater.


    ¡°With a Sword Dao genius like Guo Wei joining our Tiandou Academy, it is a fortune for our academy,¡± Fan Riquan said with relief. ¡°Perhaps in the future, he will be able to wield our academy¡¯s Controlling Dragon Sword!¡± Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and others nodded in agreement.


    ¡°However, although Guo Wei¡¯s talent and strength are strong, Lin Xiao¡¯s talent and strength are not weaker than Guo Wei¡¯s,¡± Second Elder Zhu Chenhui spoke. ¡°Lin Xiao has the Thousandfold Divine Body!¡±


    Thousandfold Divine Body!


    Upon hearing Second Elder Zhu Chenhui mention Lin Xiao¡¯s Thousandfold Divine Body, the hearts of those present were greatly shocked.


    Even in the entire Divine Dragon Empire, geniuses with a natural Divine Body were incredibly dazzling.


    Let alone the high-tier Divine Body, the Thousandfold Divine Body.


    Xie Hongughed, ¡°If Guo Wei and Lin Xiao were to fight, it would undoubtedly be extremely exciting. What do you think, whose physical body is stronger,


    Guo Wei¡¯s or Lin Xiao¡¯s?¡±


    The crowd did not know how to answer for a moment.


    One cultivated the Ancient Body Refinement Art, his physical strength so great that no one could withstand his punch.


    The other naturally possessed a superior Divine Body, equally terrifying in physical strength.


    ¡°His Highness Xiao Yong has cultivated the Stars Infinity Technique, and his Martial Soul is that of the Ancient Ster Gods. His strength is no weaker than Guo Wei¡¯s or Lin Xiao¡¯s,¡± Elder Sun Ze said.


    As Sun Ze mentioned the Stars Infinity Technique, everyone in the great hall was filled with astonishment.


    The Stars Infinity Technique was the most powerful cultivation technique of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s royal family and one of the strongest among the several great techniques of the kingdom.


    They were all well aware of the might of the Stars Infinity Technique.


    Subsequently, the discussion among the high-ranking officials of the Tiandou Academy turned to Yang Xiaotian and several other students who had disyed impressive performances.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian has a dual-element eleventh grade Martial Soul and remarkable talents in Sword Dao; he is also a genius with an extremely high talent for Alchemy,¡± Xie Hong said. ¡°Before the age of nine, he had already concocted top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. Honestly, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a talent in Alchemy.¡±


    ¡°Before nine, to reach the King Realm, such a cultivation speed is also something I am seeing for the first time.¡±


    As Xie Hong expressed his amazement, Great Elder Zhong Yun interjected, ¡°Yang Xiaotian must have practiced by frequently consuming Elixirs to achieve such cultivation speed.¡±


    He then shook his head and added, ¡°Frequently consuming Elixirs results in an unstable foundation. It will be increasingly difficult for him to advance in the future. This child is already ruined.¡±


    ¡°Though his talent for Alchemy seems astonishing now, it¡¯s uncertain whether he can concoct top-grade Treasure Pills in the future.¡±


    Elder Sun Ze also nodded and said, ¡°His talents in Martial Soul and Sword Dao can¡¯tpare to Guo Wei and the others. As for strength, he still falls quite short whenpared to the three of them.¡±


    ¡°What a pity, he doesn¡¯t possess the kind of talent his sister has.¡±


    Unaware of the Tiandou Academy¡¯s high-level discussions, Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Hundred Swords Technique. He was only one Stone Sword away from mastering all the sword techniques to Perfection Realm.


    As for the eleven Supreme Divine Powers left by Cao Shun, he had already mastered them all to Perfection.


    More than two months ago, while in the demon-infestednds, he acquired the Supreme Divine Power Netherworld Demon Hand from Youxue and had already cultivated it to the Perfection Realm.


    As for the minor Divine Skills and Great Divine Power, he only nced through them once to understand them and didn¡¯t bother to cultivate them further.


    To him, cultivating those minor Divine Skills and Great Divine Power was purely a waste of time.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to master thest Stone Sword to Perfection Realm, Liu An came in and reported the news of the past few davs to him.


    The day after tomorrow would be the grand recruitmentpetition of the


    Tiandou Academy, and currently, in the various taverns of the Tiandou Imperial City,rge and small betting pools had been opened, wagering that Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, or Xiao Yong would win the championship.


    Among them, Guo Wei was the one with the highest voice to im victory.


    ¡°So what do you all think, how many ranks can I secure?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Liu An hesitated a moment before replying, ¡°Some people think you can, at best, enter the top ten, while most believe you¡¯ll be around thirteenth or fourteenth.¡±


    Thirteenth, fourteenth? That is to say, the vast majority don¡¯t even think I can get into the top ten.


    Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    At this moment, Prince Gu Xi of Ancient Sword Kingdom also arrived at the tavern¡¯s betting pool to ce a bet. He wagered ten thousand gold on Guo Wei winning the championship.


    Seeing her brother Gu Xi betting on Guo Wei, Gu Qian couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Brother, aren¡¯t you an admirer of Divine Yang? Why bet on Guo Wei winning the championship?¡±


    Gu Xi smiled and said, ¡°Admiring someone is one thing, winning the championship is another. Divine Yang¡¯s strength can¡¯tpete with that of Guo Wei. Divine Yang is simply too young. If he were to cultivate for a few more years and participate in the nextpetition, perhaps he could win. But not this time..¡±

 Chapter 139: This Level of Strength is Inadequate for Yang Xiaotian

    Chapter 139: This Level of Strength is Inadequate for Yang Xiaotian


    Trantor: 549690339


    The night was tranquil.


    In the courtyard, the Sword Qi would at times flow gently, at times surge violently, resembling the roaring waves of a tempest, then again like the calm surface of ake.


    After a few moments, the Sword Qi suddenly dissipated like smoke, wafting slowly away.


    As the Sword Qi vanished, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure emerged.


    A sense of relief filled Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart. Tomorrow was the entrance examination for Tiandou Academy, and he had finally cultivated the Hundred Swords to beyond the Perfection Realm.


    He lifted his hand, and a hundred streams of Sword Qi twined around his fingers¡ªone hundred individual Sword Qi, no more, no less.


    These were the Sword Qi of the hundred Stone Swords of the Divine Sword Academy.


    Having cultivated all hundred Stone Swords to beyond the Perfection Realm, he could now control the hundred Sword Qi at will.


    With a flick of his fingers, Yang Xiaotian sent a hundred streams of Sword Qi flying out, instantly embedding into the stone sculpture ahead.


    When Yang Xiaotian left to return to his room to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art, a breeze blew by, and the seemingly intact stone sculpture began to crumble, pieces fluttering down one by one.


    Indeed, just like leaves.


    Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, the ck Tortoise and the ck Dragon¡ªthe two Supreme Martial Souls¡ªcircled above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, exuding an overwhelming aura.


    In recent days, under the cultivation of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Thunder Essence Liquid, the two Supreme Martial Souls had been undergoing constant changes.


    The ck Tortoise had grownrger, like a massive expanse of darknd.


    The ck Dragon resembled a towering ck Divine Mountain.


    The Azure Thunder Python coiled in the Medicine Cauldron watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Dragon Martial Soul with aplex expression. To be honest, the first time it saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Dragon Martial Soul, it was quite startled.


    The presence of the ck Dragon Martial Soul before it brought to mind an extremely ancient legend.


    The night would eventually pass.


    The sky began to grow bright.


    Tiandou Imperial City suddenly burst into noise.


    Yang Xiaotian came out of his room and stepped into the courtyard where Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and the others were already waiting.


    ¡°Young master.¡±


    ¡°Hall Master.¡±


    Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and the others came forward to greet him.


    Without much conversation, Yang Xiaotian led the group out of the residence, heading towards Tiandou Academy.


    The residence wasn¡¯t far from Tiandou Academy, and it wasn¡¯t long before the group arrived at the academy¡¯s za.


    The za was, naturally, teeming with people, making it difficult to move.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival still caught the attention of many.


    ¡°Is that kid Yang Xiaotian? Tsk tsk, not even nine years old and he¡¯s already achieved the King Realm, isn¡¯t that just defying the heavens?¡±


    ¡°Defying the heavens? I heard he got to where he is by popping Elixirs all the way, otherwise, there¡¯s no way he could have reached the King Realm so quickly.¡±


    ¡°The other day, four students from Wuding Academy were beaten up by Yang Xiaotian. He even provoked Guo Wei with his words.¡±


    ¡°Dare to provoke Guo Wei? With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s abilities, isn¡¯t that a bit of a stretch? How many punches do you think Yang Xiaotian can block from Guo Wei?¡±


    ¡°How many punches? Even the Martial King at the sixth tier¡ªthe Azure Bear¡ª was blown away by a single punch from Guo Wei. It¡¯s hard to say if Yang Xiaotian can even block one punch from Guo Wei.¡±


    Disciples from various countries, families, and academies murmured among themselves in the surrounding crowd.


    Hearing the people discussing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s right and wrong, Chen Changqing, He Le, and the others all frowned.


    However, Yang Xiaotian himself remained calm.


    ¡°Lin Xiao from War God Academy! Lin Xiao is here!¡± Just at that moment, suddenly, a strongmotion swept through the crowd in the za.


    While Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival had attracted a good deal of attention, it hadn¡¯t caused a disturbance. But now, with Lin Xiao from War God Academy arriving, all the powerful figures couldn¡¯t help but turn to look, causing a significantmotion.


    The presence of Lin Xiao, who possessed the Thousandfold Divine Body, clearly defined his standing in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Yang Xiaotian also looked over.


    The square, originally packed to the brim, made way for a path, and at the end of this path, a tall, dark-skinned young man in the War God Academy uniform approached.


    Behind the young man was a group of experts from the War God Academy.


    This young man was Lin Xiao, one of the three hot favorites to win the championship this time.


    Lin Xiao possessed a superior divine body, the Thousandfold Divine Body!


    His mere existence was enough to dazzle the Empire.


    However, Yang Xiaotian knew that Lin Xiao was far more than just the possessor of the Thousandfold Divine Body; his Martial Dao talent was equally astonishing, having cultivated the War God Academy¡¯s number one Cultivation Technique, the War God Art, to the third level!


    And he had reached the peak of the third level.


    The War God Art, being the premier Cultivation Technique of the War God Academy, was nearly impossible to master. Reaching the first level alone would shock the crowd, let alone the peak of the third level, especially since Lin Xiao was only just twenty years old.


    Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Xiao walked into the square.


    ¡°Senior Brother Lin, that kid there is Yang Xiaotian,¡± a student from the War God Academy said to Lin Xiao.


    Following the direction, Lin Xiao nced at Yang Xiaotian, but after a brief look, he retracted his gaze and no longer focused on Yang Xiaotian. To him, his opponents this time were not Yang Xiaotian, but Guo Wei and Xiao Yong.


    Lin Xiao, leading the War God Academy¡¯s experts, walked straight past Yang Xiaotian.


    Following Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong and a group of experts from the Tiandou Imperial Family arrived.


    Xiao Yong¡¯s arrival likewise caused a strongmotion at the scene.


    As he passed by Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Yong huffed coldly and gave Yang Xiaotian a sidelong nce, having received the decree from his Subduing Dragon Sword Sect great-uncle: upon encountering Yang Xiaotian, kill!


    Yang Xiaotian, you better pray to the heavens that you don¡¯te across meter.


    Not long after Xiao Yong¡¯s arrival, Guo Wei and a group of elites from the Wuding Academy arrived.


    When Guo Wei arrived, the scene shook tremendously, the response of the crowd was even more enthusiastic than at the arrival of Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong.


    After all, the loudest mor for victory in this Tiandou Academy freshman assessment was for Guo Wei.


    ¡°Child of Divine Spirit!¡±


    Someone shouted excitedly.


    Being the reincarnation of a Divine Spirit, many called him the Child of Divine Spirit.


    In the hearts of Wuding Academy and many others, Guo Wei would undoubtedly achieve the Divine Spirit Realm, that is, the Martial God Realm, in a few hundred years.


    Amid the excited cries of the crowd, Guo Wei strode in, head held high and chest out, as he entered the square.


    ¡°Senior Brother, that little brat is Yang Xiaotian!¡± four students behind Guo Wei, who had nearly had their guts exploded by Yang Xiaotian, looked at him with hate-filled eyes.


    That look in their eyes wished they could tear Yang Xiaotian to shreds.


    Guo Wei approached Yang Xiaotian and, standing over him from a higher position, said, ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian, right? I¡¯ve heard your physical body is also strong. I hope you can withstand one of my punches when the timees and live up to your title of Divine Yang.¡±


    Guo Wei was quite annoyed at the title of Divine Yang that the students of the Divine Sword Academy had given to Yang Xiaotian.


    He was a reincarnation of a Divine Spirit, called the Child of Divine Spirit, and here was Yang Xiaotian, a nobody, also deemed worthy of the Divine Yang title.


    ¡°That line should be mine to say to you,¡± Yang Xiaotian calmly responded. ¡°I hope you can withstand one of my punches when the timees.¡±


    Suddenly, a group of Wuding Academy students red at Yang Xiaotian with anger.


    A kingdom expert sneered andughed out, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian really doesn¡¯t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth. If he truly encounters Guo Weiter, I fear he¡¯ll be so abused he¡¯ll wet himself.¡±


    Many in the crowdughed out loud..

 Chapter 140 - 140 His Disciple is Bound to Win?

    Chapter 140: His Disciple is Bound to Win?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Listening to the mockery around him, Chen Changqing, He Le, and others red angrily.


    Someone thenughed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know about peeing himself, but I¡¯m sure Yang Xiaotian will be so badly abused that his own mother wouldn¡¯t recognize him.¡±


    Manyughed aloud.


    Just as Chen Changqing and the others were about to angrily step forward, Yang Xiaotian raised his hand to stop them.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the two who had just mocked him.


    One was from Profound Ice Academy.


    The other was from Saint Light Academy.


    These two academies, among the many kingdom academies, were also very strong, much stronger than Divine Sword Academy.


    Yang Xiaotian remembered these two academies.


    Guo Wei looked at Yang Xiaotian andughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, heard that? I hope you won¡¯t be so badly abused by me that even your mother won¡¯t recognize you.¡± After that, he left directly with the members of Wuding Academy.


    Wu Qi stared at Guo Wei¡¯s figure and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young master, do you want me to take action now and deal with this trash and the rest of Wuding Academy?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his hand, ¡°No need.¡± Then he said, ¡°If anyone is to deal with him, it will be me personally.¡±


    Those who knew Yang Xiaotian well understood that he was already angered.


    A momentter, the dean Xie Hong of Tiandou Academy and the high-ranking members of the academy appeared on the main stage.


    Xie Hong nced at the elitepetitors from the various kingdoms, his gaze lingering a bit longer on Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao, then said to the Great Elder Zhong Yun, ¡°Start.¡±


    The Great Elder Zhong Yun nodded, then stepped forward and invited the top ten disciples from each major kingdom academy to enter thepetition arena.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Son of Thunder, Chen Hailin, Cheng Wu, and others entered the arena.


    After Yang Xiaotian, Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and the others entered the arena, Zhong Yun began to announce the rules for this freshmen assessment.


    Actually, the freshmen assessment didn¡¯t have manyplexities¡ªit was a tform battle, determining the top hundred by victory and defeat.


    Of course, after selecting the top hundred, the final rankings for the top ten would also be decided based on victories and defeats.


    The rewards for the top ten were very generous.


    The higher the rank, the more astonishing the rewards.


    Zhong Yun especially mentioned the reward for first ce this time: ¡°The winner of this freshmen assessment will not only receive a set of high-grade treasures, one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, ten superior Nine Suns Longevity Pills, but also a Supreme Divine Sword Technique.¡±


    He paused for a moment, then said, ¡°Skywalking Thousand Swords!¡± As soon as Zhong Yun¡¯s words fell, everyone was shaken.


    ¡°What, Supreme Divine Power, Skywalking Thousand Swords! This is one of Tiandou Academy¡¯s top ten swordsmanship techniques, and they¡¯re actually offering it as a reward for the first-ce winner!¡±


    ¡°Skywalking Thousand Swords, with one sword movement, even the winds and clouds change, this Skywalking Thousand Swords, priceless!¡±


    Many elitepetitors from the kingdoms were burning with enthusiasm in their eyes.


    Being listed as one of Tiandou Academy¡¯s top ten swordsmanship techniques speaks volumes of Skywalking Thousand Swords¡¯ power.


    When Guo Wei heard that the first prize was Skywalking Thousand Swords, his eyes also zed with fervor. He had long coveted this swordsmanship, and it was one of the techniques he desired most since joining Tiandou Academy.


    Xiao Yong and Lin Xiao had simr reactions to Guo Wei. Hearing that the top prize was Skywalking Thousand Swords, they both clenched their fists tightly, silently vowing to win the title of top freshman.


    Zhong Yun saw the reactions of the crowd and slightly smiled.


    In the eyes of the Tiandou Academy¡¯s high-ranking officials, Guo Wei had the greatest chance of winning the championship this time. Offering Skywalking Thousand Swords as a reward was essentially preparing it for Guo Wei.


    The high levels of Tiandou Academy had already intended to cultivate Guo Wei as one of the candidates for the next dean.


    ¡°Alright, everyonee forward to draw lots,¡± Zhong Yun said after a pause. Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei among others stepped forward to draw lots.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian drew number seven.


    And the one who drew the same number seven as Yang Xiaotian was Hu Xiangqian from the Profound Ice Academy.


    Hu Xiangqian was the strongest student in the Profound Ice Academy and the first ce winner in the nationalpetition; his strength was formidable, and many had pegged him as a hope for the top twenty.


    Seeing that his first opponent was Hu Xiangqian, Yang Xiaotian gave a coldugh. It had been Zhang He, the dean of the Profound Ice Academy, who had just remarked that he would be ¡®thrashed to the point of wetting himself¡¯ by Guo Wei.


    Hu Xiangqian was his disciple.


    Upon seeing his disciple, Hu Xiangqian, facing Yang Xiaotian in the first match, a look of surprise crossed Zhang He¡¯s face, after which he said to Hu, ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s flesh is strong, so when you make your move, aim for his eyes, his throat, and use the Ice Force to slow down his movements.¡±


    Hu Xiangqian responded with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master. I¡¯ve been hiding my true strength. I will let everyone know that the betting rankings are incorrect. ¡±


    In recent betting rankings, his position was slightly behind Yang Xiaotian by one or two spots.


    Hu Xiangqian had long been discontent with this ranking.


    He believed that with his strength, he could defeat Yang Xiaotianpletely.


    Isn¡¯t everyone saying Yang Xiaotian¡¯s flesh is strong? He would soon let everyone see whether it was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s flesh or his flesh that was stronger.


    Days before, he had awakened a certain ancient bloodline, and once he activated the bloodline¡¯s power, both the strength and defense of his flesh would skyrocket.


    Even his master didn¡¯t know about this.


    Hu Xiangqian strode toward the number seven tform.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and Hu Xiangqian were heading towards the number seven tform, Chen Hailin from Thunder Academy had an ugly expression on his face because he had drawn Guo Wei of Wuding Academy for his first match!


    Seeing that Guo Wei¡¯s first opponent was Chen Hailin, the faces of those four students from Wuding Academy lit up with joy.


    ¡°Senior Brother, if it hadn¡¯t been for that Chen Hailin, we wouldn¡¯t have been injured by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s blows that day. You must thrash him in the match and avenge us,¡± one of them said with hatred.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Guo Wei replied. He leaped up,nding on the tform, looking at Chen Hailin as if he were a weak ant, ¡°You¡¯re Chen Hailin, right? Come on up.¡±


    Chen Hailin took a deep breath and slowly stepped onto the tform.


    Once Chen Hailin was on the tform, Guo Wei walked toward him, ¡°Yang Xiaotian threw a punch at each of my four junior brothers before. Now, I shall return them all to you.¡±


    Before Chen Hailin could react, a figure shed before him, and Guo Wei was suddenly in front of him, hammering a fierce punch into Chen Hailin¡¯s stomach.


    At this moment, students on the various tforms also started to battle.


    On tform seven, Hu Xiangqian likewise walked toward Yang Xiaotian, proiming proudly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, everyone says your flesh is not weak. Let¡¯s exchange a punchter and test our flesh, shall we?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    Hu Xiangqian did not speak but activated the ancient bloodline within his body.


    Suddenly, a furious power surged out from him.


    Seeing Hu Xiangqian¡¯s body glowing, his entire being undergoing astonishing changes, runes spread over his body like vines.


    Feeling the astonishing power of Hu Xiangqian¡¯s fury, Xie Hong and others turned their gazes this way, and upon seeing the changes to Hu Xiangqian¡¯s body, they couldn¡¯t help but exim in surprise, ¡°That¡¯s the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline!¡±


    ¡°What? The Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline!¡± The crowd was shocked at hearing this.


    The Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline was strong and well known to many.


    Seeing his disciple activate the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline, Zhang He was first surprised, then overjoyed.


    This disciple of his was indeed full of surprises.


    With this, his victory was assured.

    Chapter 141: is a Weakling


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Hu Xiangqian to actually have the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline!¡± Xie Hong was also pleasantly surprised.


    Ancient bloodlines were just as rare.


    While Tiandou Academy was not short of talents, geniuses with ancient bloodlines were still very scarce; recruiting one this time was truly an unexpected joy.


    However, Xie Hong furrowed his brows as he looked towards Yang Xiaotian, who was facing Hu Xiangqian. Since Hu Xiangqian possessed the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline, Yang Xiaotian was likely to lose!


    Then, wouldn¡¯t Xiaotian be unable to even make it into the top hundred?


    The other higher-ups of Tiandou Academy thought of this issue as well.


    The Second Elder, Zhu Chenhui, shook his head and said, ¡°It seems Xiaotian will not pass the recruitment assessment of Tiandou Academy this time. What a pity.¡±


    The Great Elder, Zhong Yun, who believed that Xiaotian¡¯s strength relied solely on consuming pills,mented, ¡°There¡¯s nothing to pity, it¡¯s just survival of the fittest.¡±


    He had always disliked disciples who improved their strength solely by consuming pills.


    Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline, huh? Yang Xiaotian watched Hu Xiangqian with a calm expression on his face.


    He didn¡¯t rush to make a move, letting his opponent activate all the power of his Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline.


    When Hu Xiangqian fully activated the power of the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline within his body, a wild aura from the Ancient Fierce Beast stirred Heaven and Earth.


    A hurricane formed around Hu Xiangqian¡¯s body.


    Seeing this, the surrounding spectators couldn¡¯t help but exim in admiration at the strength of the Berserk Beast Bloodline.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take this punch from me!¡± Suddenly, Hu Xiangqian charged towards Xiaotian like a rampaging beast, throwing a punch straight at Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    Terrifying fist waves roared.


    There were faint sounds of numerous Fierce Beasts howling in rage.


    ¡°Get off the stage!¡± Hu Xiangqian¡¯s eyes were fierce; in the blink of an eye, his punch had already reached right in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Watching the tall and imposing Hu Xiangqian hammering down towards Xiaotian with an all-destructive force, many of the female disciples even turned their heads away, unable to bear the sight of Xiaotian being turned into a pulp.


    Boom!


    Hu Xiangqian¡¯s punch struck Yang Xiaotian squarely in the chest.


    A loud noise echoed across the za.


    Just when everyone thought that Xiaotian would be sted off the stage by Hu Xiangqian¡¯s punch, suddenly, Hu Xiangqian¡¯splexion changed drastically, because when his punchnded on Xiaotian¡¯s chest, it felt as though he had struck the hardest adamantine barrier in history.


    pain!


    That was his first sensation in his fingers.


    At the same time, a terrifying force reverberated back from Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    That force was stronger than anything he had ever encountered.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Hu Xiangqian was seen being forced to step back repeatedly by this terrifying force; he tried to control his stance, but he couldn¡¯t.


    With almost every few steps he took backward, he spat out blood, retreating to the edge of the stage. When Hu Xiangqian finally stopped, his chest was already dyed red with fresh blood.


    Hu Xiangqian looked at his painfully throbbing fist, which now hung like a limp chicken w, gazing at Xiaotian in shock and panic: ¡®You, you!¡±


    As for what you, he never got to finish.


    ¡°What?!¡± Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the others were equally startled, rising to their feet and looking towards Arena Seven with wide eyes in astonishment.


    Zhang He was simply dumbfounded.


    While the scene was enveloped in disbelief, Xiaotian dusted off his chest, which actually had no dust, and then approached Hu Xiangqian, ¡°Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline? More like a Weakling Technique.¡±


    Weakling Technique!


    There was a disciple in the crowd who, unable to hold back, burst outughing so hard they spat on their master.


    On the main stand, Zhong Yun heard this, opened his mouth to speak but ended up silent.


    Watching Xiaotian approach, Hu Xiangqian wanted to retreat in terror, only to realize there was nowhere left to go as he was already at the edge of the stage.


    ¡°Xiaotian, what body cultivation technique are you practicing?¡± Hu Xiangqian asked in shock and anger.


    ¡°Weakling Technique,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Weakling Technique!


    In the crowd, that disciple nearly spat out his drink again with a ¡°puh¡± sound.


    Hu Xiangqian¡¯s face turned crimson with rage; humiliated and furious, he threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian with his other hand, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯m going to st you to death!¡±


    That punch harnessed all the strength from his Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline, and all of his True Yuan.


    However, instead of aiming at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, he targeted Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    The throat was the weakest in defense, and he refused to believe that Yang Xiaotian could train his throat to be as indestructible as diamond.


    But as soon as he threw the punch, Yang Xiaotian countered with a punch of his own.


    Their fists collided.


    A crisp sound of breaking bone echoed.


    With a look of horror on his face, Hu Xiangqian took another punch from Yang Xiaotian, this time in the stomach.


    Bang!


    Standing at the edge of the stage, Hu Xiangqian was sent flying like a punching bag by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s blow, soaring high before crashing down on the edge of the square.


    The ground trembled.


    Hu Xiangqiany there, motionless.


    Everyone watched in stunned silence.


    Had it ended just like this?


    Originally, everyone thought that Hu Xiangqian, who had activated the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline, could at least exchange a few blows, maybe ten or eight strikes, with Yang Xiaotian¡ªhowever, he was so promptly dealt with by Yang Xiaotian.


    In the midst of shock, students from the Profound Ice Academy hurriedly came forward to lift Hu Xiangqian, but when they did, they discovered his crotch was wet!


    All faces took on a peculiar expression.


    The face of the Profound Ice Academy¡¯s Dean Zhang He twitched.


    He had just mocked Yang Xiaotian a moment ago, saying Guo Wei would beat him so badly he¡¯d wet himself.


    Yang Xiaotian was definitely doing it on purpose; he was pping him in the face.


    Zhang He red at Yang Xiaotian with anger.Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children¡¯s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys(.)c0m


    Just then, another thunderous sound resonated, as Chen Hailin was viciously punched off the stage by Guo Wei.


    Chen Hailiny there, exhaling more than inhaling.


    At that moment, Guo Wei provocatively looked over at Yang Xiaotian, and their eyes met.


    After the referee announced Yang Xiaotian¡¯s victory, Yang Xiaotian approached Chen Hailin of Thunder Academy. Seeing Chen Hailin¡¯s ashen face and faint breaths, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened, and he produced a supreme Endless Life Pill, urging Chen Hailin to swallow it.


    After a tough struggle, the other students on the various stages also concluded their first round of matches.


    Then came the second round.


    In this round, Yang Xiaotian drew Xiao Fei from the Tiandou Imperial Family.


    Xiao Fei was Xiao Yong¡¯s cousin.


    This Xiao Fei was very strong and talented; among the disciples of the Tiandou Imperial Family participating in thepetition, he was only second to Xiao Yong in strength and talent, and among all thepeting disciples, he was aclmowledged as having the seventh-ranked power.


    Upon seeing that his second match was against Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Fei frowned.


    Seeing Xiao Fei¡¯s expression, Xiao Yong said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian merely relies on a slightly stronger physique. That fool Hu Xiangqian stubbornly chose topete in physical strength, which led to his defeat. Your Tyrant Dragon Artbined with the Tyrant Dragon Saber Technique is suited for long-range attacks. Yang Xiaotian is sure to lose to you!¡±


    Xiao Fei nodded and then stepped up to the stage.


    The upper echelons of Tiandou Academy were surprised to see Xiao Fei facing Yang Xiaotian in the second round.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this match to be between Xiao Fei and Yang Xiaotian. What do you all think?¡± Xie Hong asked with a smile.


    The Great Elder Zhong Yun said, ¡°Xiao Fei possesses top-seven strength. He consumed Dragon Liquid at a young age and has cultivated the Tyrant Dragon Art to the seventh level. His Supreme Divine Power, the Tyrant Dragon Saber Technique, has even reached the Perfection Realm. How could Yang Xiaotian possibly be his match..¡±

 Chapter 142: Battle Against Guo Wei

    Chapter 142: Battle Against Guo Wei


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hearing Zhong Yun say that Yang Xiaotian was no match for Xiao Yong, the vice president of Tiandou Academy, Fan Riquan, the second elder Zhu Chenhui, and others didn¡¯t open their mouths, effectively acknowledging Zhong Yun¡¯s statement.


    Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists had just sent Hu Xiangqian flying, which was surprising and unexpected, in the eyes of Fan Riquan and others, Yang Xiaotian was at most among the top ten in strength. Compared to Xiao Yong, who was among the top seven, he still had a certain gap.


    Although Hu Xiangqian possessed the Ancient Berserk Beast Bloodline, Fan Riquan and the others could see that Hu Xiangqian¡¯s bloodline had just awakened not long ago, so its power wasn¡¯t strong, which was why he lost to Yang Xiaotian.


    Xie Hong spoke up, ¡°I just don¡¯t know what kind of Body Refinement Realm technique Yang Xiaotian has cultivated. His physical body is incredibly strong.¡±


    Curiosity filled him regarding this.


    He remembered that the Body Refinement techniques of Divine Sword Academy weren¡¯t that powerful.


    Zhong Yun, however, disagreed, ¡°He¡¯s just stronger than Hu Xiangqian. Ifpared to the physical bodies of Guo Wei or Lin Xiao, he¡¯s still far behind.¡±


    ¡°If his first match had been against Guo Wei or Lin Xiao, the result wouldn¡¯t be as it is now. If he were to sh head-on with Guo Wei or Lin Xiao, he would definitely be sent flying by both of them.¡±


    Fan Riquan nodded and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body is indeed strong, butpared to Guo Wei, who has cultivated the ancient Body Refinement techniques, there is still a significant gap.¡±


    Amidst the discussion, Yang Xiaotian made his way to the stage.


    Xiao Yong looked at Yang Xiaotian with burning eyes, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, your strength is indeed great, worthy of being among the top ten. You could havepletely passed this enrollment assessment of Tiandou Academy.¡±


    ¡°But unfortunately, your second matchup is against me.¡±


    The implication was clear, Yang Xiaotian was fated not to pass this enrollment assessment of Tiandou Academy.


    Watching Xiao Yong, full of confidence, Yang Xiaotian merely smiled, ¡°You¡¯re right, it is indeed regrettable.¡±


    Realizing the irony in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, Xiao Yong¡¯s expression darkened, and with a cold snort, he activated his Tyrant Dragon Art. Suddenly, an astonishing force burst from within him.


    Around Xiao Yong¡¯s body, eight astounding streams of energy made their appearance.


    Each stream was as thick as an arm, coiling around Xiao Yong with intelligence, one could faintly discern the form of a flood snake within them.


    But the scene had taken everyone by surprise.


    ¡°Tyrant Dragon Art, the eighth level!¡± Zhong Yun was astonished, thenughed, ¡°Unexpectedly, Xiao Yong has cultivated the Tyrant Dragon Art to the eighth level!¡±


    Xiao Yong¡¯s demonstration of the eighth level of Tyrant Dragon Art also amazed Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and others.


    The Tyrant Dragon Art, only second in power to Xiao Yong¡¯s Stars Infinity Technique.


    In the past hundreds of years of the Tiandou Imperial Family, very few ever sessfully cultivated the Tyrant Dragon Art, and no one had ever reached the eighth level at the age of Xiao Yong.


    Fan Riquan, admiring Xiao Yong on the stage, eximed, ¡°Xiao Yong is truly unequaled in talent. If he continues to cultivate in this manner, in twenty years he might be the first in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom to cultivate the Tyrant


    Dragon Art to its highest level.¡±


    The third elder, Sun Ze, also smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve taken a liking to this Xiao Yong. When the timees, I want to take him as my disciple; I hope none of you willpete with me for him.¡±


    On the stage, Xiao Yong¡¯s aura continued to rise as arge saber appeared in his hand.


    This saber was none other than the renowned Tyrant Dragon Saber of the Tiandou Imperial Family, the de engraved with a lifelike Tyrant Dragon.


    In the sunlight, the Tyrant Dragon seemed toe to life.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a fair chance, show your weapon!¡± Xiao Yong holding the Tyrant Dragon Saber, pointed its tip at Yang Xiaotian, his imposing aura making many of the female students¡¯ hearts flutter.


    ¡°Against you, it¡¯s not necessary,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    ¡°What? Yang Xiaotian actually wants to face Xiao Yong¡¯s Tyrant Dragon Saber with his bare hands!¡± Hearing that Yang Xiaotian would not use a weapon, many of the seasoned warriors of the academy were stunned.


    Zhong Yun scoffed, ¡°So arrogant and conceited!¡±


    Second elder Zhu Chenhuiughed, ¡°Having just defeated Hu Xiangqian, it¡¯s no wonder he¡¯s so confident.¡±


    ¡°Confidence is good, but blind confidence is foolishness, ignorance!¡± Zhong Yun criticized.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian intended to defend against his Tyrant Dragon Saber with bare fists, Xiao Yong¡¯s expression turned grim. From a distance, he suddenly shed out towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Apanied by the sound of a dragon¡¯s cry, a shocking saber qi flew out like a wave of green light.


    The current in the space of the stage was instantly cleaved in two.


    The de energy passed by, and the ground of the arena actually started to crack open.


    ¡°Such a marvelous disy of the Perfection Realm Tyrant Dragon Saber


    Technique!¡± Upon seeing Xiao Yong¡¯s Tyrant Dragon Saber Technique, Zhong Yun eximed, ¡°Indomitable and possessing the might to split the heavens like a Divine Dragon!¡±


    However, before he could finish his words, he saw Yang Xiaotian casually throw a punch and disperse the supposedly indomitable and sky-splitting might of the Tyrant Dragon saber energy.


    Right after, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed, and he was already in front of Xiao Yong.


    Xiao Yong only felt a blur before his eyes as Yang Xiaotian had already arrived in front of him, causing him great shock at the speed Yang Xiaotian had reached.


    Without time to think further, he swung the Tyrant Dragon Saber in his hand toward Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    A buzzing sound resounded.


    Under the wave of saber energy, the crowd could even see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hair flying about.


    However, as the opponent¡¯s Tyrant Dragon Saber was about to strike, Yang Xiaotian flicked his finger on the de of the Tyrant Dragon Saber.


    Xiao Yong only felt as if his Tyrant Dragon Saber had been struck by a giant hammer; his arm hurt, and the saber was flipped out of his hands, his own body swayed by the force.


    Before Xiao Yong could recover, Yang Xiaotian suddenly unleashed a punch.


    The force of the punchnded on the nine True Essence Flood Snakes that surrounded Xiao Yong¡¯s body.


    With a thunderous roar, the nine True Essence Flood Dragons were sted apart simultaneously, and Xiao Yong was sent flying. But it wasn¡¯t over yet; Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed again, arriving in front of Xiao Yong and smashing down with another kick.


    Xiao Yong fell like a meteor from the sky, crashing onto the arena.


    Debris rolled across the tform.


    Yet, the square fell silent.


    Looking at Xiao Yong smashed onto the arena, Li Hong and others were stunned for quite some time.


    Zhong Yun was particrly frozen in ce.


    Is it over?


    Has it ended?


    Xiao Yong, who cultivated the Tyrant Dragon Art to the eighthyer and the


    Supreme Divine Power of the Tyrant Dragon Saber Technique to the Perfection Realm, was just like that, defeated by Yang Xiaotian with two punches and one kick?


    In front of Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Yong, who was deemed by everyone as holding the seventh rank in terms of strength, seemed like a joke.


    And from beginning to end, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even use any Divine Skills.


    Even Guo Wei, who was watching from a distance on another tform, frowned upon seeing Xiao Yong pounded onto the tform by Yang Xiaotian; it seemed he had underestimated Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian likely possessed the strength of the top four.


    Strength only second to him, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao.


    Looking at the defeated Xiao Yong, the referee harbored a skeptical expression, approached to carefully inspect Xiao Yong¡¯s injuries, and only after verifying that Xiao Yong had no power to fight back did he announce with aplex expression that Yang Xiaotian had won.


    Chen Changqing and He Le, who were always apprehensive, saw Yang Xiaotian win and could not help but show delighted smiles on their faces.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s consecutive victories meant that he had now entered the top hundred.


    It could be said that Yang Xiaotian had already passed the Tiandou Academy¡¯s recruitment assessment.


    Soon, the second round of the other arena students also ended their matches one after another.


    Eventually, out of the ten participants from Divine Sea Country, only Yang Xiaotian and the Son of Thunder managed to get through.


    Next was the battle for the top hundred.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian drew number four.


    And his opponent for this match turned out to be none other than Guo Wei! Seeing that his opponent for the round was Yang Xiaotian, Guo Wei let out a cold smile. He had been waiting for this fight for too long..

    Chapter 143: God Bless Tiandou Academy


    Trantor: 549690339


    Guo Wei quickened his pace towards the arena.


    Xiao Yong frowned upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s uing battle with Guo Wei,menting, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to face Guo Wei in this match.¡± His intention had been to personally take down Yang Xiaotian.


    But now, given Yang Xiaotian¡¯s match against Guo Wei, defeat seemed inevitable, and he would no longer have the chance to take down Yang Xiaotian with his own hands.


    The guards by his side, aware of Xiao Yong¡¯s thoughts, said, ¡°Your Highness, even if Yang Xiaotian loses to Guo Wei, there will be plenty of opportunities to punish him in the future. After all, he passed the entrance examination for Tiandou Academy. Once he¡¯s inside, it will be easy for you to do whatever you wish with him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yong nodded and smiled, ¡°You¡¯re right. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There¡¯s no need to rush.¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian saw Guo Wei stepping briskly onto the arena, he immediately began to walk towards it as well.


    Almost everyone¡¯s gaze fell upon Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei.


    On the VIP tform, Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui, Sun Ze, and others also focused their attention on the arena where Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei stood.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to actually face Guo Wei,¡± Xie Hong said with a shake of his head and a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength had been apparent to all; he had the potential to rank among the top five.


    But facing Guo Wei now, it seemed he wouldn¡¯t even make it into the top ten.


    Fan Riquan said with a smile, ¡°Even though Yang Xiaotian won¡¯t make it into the top ten, this young man is still worth cultivating.¡±


    Generally speaking, the top ten students from each recruitment examination would receive focused training from Tiandou Academy.


    Zhong Yun, however, said, ¡°ording to the rules, only the top ten are eligible for our academy¡¯s focused training. Since Yang Xiaotian cannot make it into the top ten, he shouldn¡¯t receive that privilege.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, his strength is only due to doping. A student like that is unlikely to achieve much in the future.¡±


    Sun Ze also said, ¡°The Great Elder is correct. Since he can¡¯t make it into the top ten, he shouldn¡¯t be considered for focused training. It¡¯s a pity he doesn¡¯t share his sister¡¯s talents; he doesn¡¯t even have a level twelve Martial Soul. Otherwise, we might have made an exception for him.¡±


    In the past, the academy did make exceptions. If a student didn¡¯t make it into the top ten but possessed a Martial Soul above level twelve, the academy would still break its rules and focus on cultivating that student.


    The headmaster of Profound Ice Academy, Zhang He, chuckled coldly upon seeing Yang Xiaotian going to face Guo Wei. Profound Ice Academy had always maintained a good rtionship with Wuding Academy, and Guo Wei had already promised him that if he encountered Yang Xiaotian, he would beat him as one would a dog.


    Prince Gu Xi of Ancient Sword Kingdom also shook his head upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s match with Guo Wei.


    Chen Changqing, He Le, and a few others also looked towards Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei on the arena, their faces a mix of mirth and bitterness.


    It was unfortunate that their Hall Master had to face none other than Guo Wei, the strongest contender.


    On the arena, Guo Wei stood with his hands behind his back, looking across at Yang Xiaotian with a grin. ¡®Yang Xiaotian, you didn¡¯t expect to face me, did you?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, ¡°To me, there¡¯s no difference between you and Hu Xiangqian.¡± As soon as Yang Xiaotian finished his sentence, the audience reacted vehemently.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is far too arrogant, daring to show such disdain towards Guo Wei!¡±


    ¡°Who does he think he is? Even Xiao Yong and Lin Xiao wouldn¡¯t dare to belittle Guo Wei.¡±


    Various outcries erupted.


    Even Xie Hong, the headmaster of Tiandou Academy, frowned, feeling that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words were over the top.


    Zhong Yun went further, snorting, ¡°Foolish boy! Not even knowing if he can withstand a single punch from Guo Wei and yet he dares to make such insolent ims.¡±


    Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui, and others simrly shook their heads.


    Clearly, they also thought Yang Xiaotian was being too bold.


    Chen Changqing, He Le, and theirpanions were equally speechless.


    Guo Wei couldn¡¯t help butugh in anger, Yang Xiaotian was actuallyparing him to Hu Xiangqian.


    ¡°Fine, Yang Xiaotian, I want to see if you truly have the strength to treat me like Hu Xiangqian,¡± Guo Weiughed heartily as he fully activated his True Yuan, an intimidating aura that could shock Heaven and Earth spreading from him.


    ¡°Martial King seventh levelte stage!¡±


    In the previous few matches, Guo Wei had not revealed his true realm, Now that Guo Wei¡¯s realm was revealed, everyone was greatly shocked.


    Even Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong were surprised.


    ¡°A peerless genius!¡± Zhong Yun eximed in amazement, very excited, ¡°Guo Wei is truly a Divine Spirit reincarnate, a genius. Once our academy nurtures him, he will definitely be a Divine Spirit in the future and protect our academy!¡±


    A Divine Spirit is without a doubt a supreme ruler of the Azure God Continent.


    Having a Divine Spirit Realm protector could ensure the millennium-long prosperity of Tiandou Academy.


    Xie Hong was also excited, ¡°This student, I will take him as my disciple and teach him personally.¡±


    Fan Riquan smiled and said, ¡°With the head of the academy instructing him, he will definitely be a peerless Sword God.¡±


    Xie Hong chuckled, revealing the excitement in his heart.


    Even Yang Xiaotian was surprised that Guo Wei was at the Martial King seventh levelte stage.


    Martial King seventh levelte stage, huh?


    A surge of fighting spirit rose in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart, as he wanted to use this fight with Guo Wei to test his currentbat strength.


    After Guo Wei unveiled his Martial King seventh levelte stage realm, suddenly, his whole body shed with thunder and lightning, and from the Nine Heavens above, thunder descended, entwining around Guo Wei. The astonishing power of thunder and lightning faced the surrounding Heaven and Earth.


    The surrounding disciples all stepped back in shock.


    ¡°This is the Ancient Thunder God Art, the number one body tempering art of ancient times!¡± Xie Hong stood up abruptly upon witnessing this scene and eximed in shock.


    ¡°What, the Ancient Thunder God Art!¡± Arge number of academy experts and Sect powerhouses were astounded.


    The Ancient Thunder God Art, the number one body tempering art of ancient times, was rumored to turn its practitioners into Thunder Gods at the pinnacle realm, making their bodies invincible, virtually indestructible.


    Everyone knew Guo Wei had cultivated an ancient body tempering art, rendering his flesh indestructible, but no one knew it was the Ancient Thunder God Art. Now that they¡¯d seen that Guo Wei had been practicing the premier body tempering art of ancient times, everyone was boiling with excitement.


    ¡°Excellent! Excellent! Heaven has blessed Tiandou Academy with such a genius joining our ranks!¡± Xie Hong couldn¡¯t contain his excitement.


    He was always steady, but today, seeing Guo Wei¡¯s talent and defiance of the heavens, he couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, and the others were also extremely excited.


    With Guo Wei having cultivated the Ancient Thunder God Art, his body was absolutely tempered to an extremely perfect state. With such a perfect body, any swordsmanship or Divine Skills he practiced from Tiandou Academy would be twice as effective with half the effort.


    Guo Wei fully activated the Ancient Thunder God Art, bringing down constant thunder from the Nine Heavens, coiling around his body like a Thunder Serpent.


    Feeling the immense power of his body, his eyes sparked with the radiance of thunder as he said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, didn¡¯t you say you consider me the same as Hu Xiangqian? Now, let¡¯s see if you can take my punch!¡±


    Having spoken, he dashed forward, as fast as lightning, arriving in front of Yang Xiaotian, and hurled a punch straight at him.


    As Guo Wei¡¯s punch was thrown, the thunder and lightning filled the sky, with Guo Wei appearing as if he was a Thunder God himself, bringing thunder with his presence.


    The endless power of thunder and lightning apanied Guo Wei¡¯s punch, hitting Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    His eyes fierce, he aimed to explode Yang Xiaotian with a single punch..

 Chapter 144 - 144 Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword

    Chapter 144: Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian actually dared to look down on him, to regard him on the same level as Hu Xiangqian, which was simply unforgivable!


    He was the reincarnation of a divine spirit, an unparalleled genius in the history of Wuding Academy, and was hailed as someone who would surely be a divine spirit in the future. Yang Xiaotian, you dare to profane a divine spirit, die!


    The more Guo Wei thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he stimted his entire strength.


    Just as the overwhelming power of lightning threatened to engulf Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, while standing there, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch. The moment Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist moved, a heaven-shaking dragon¡¯s roar echoed through heaven and earth.


    A terrifying dragon might surged from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, soaring straight to the Nine Heavens.


    This fearsome dragon might actually overpowered the thunder might emanating from Guo Wei¡¯s body.


    As the heaven-shaking dragon¡¯s roar sounded for an instant, everyone felt their minds waver and their souls trembled.


    Xie Hong and the others were no exception.


    Under the astonished gaze of Xie Hong and the others, over a hundred True Essence Dragons apanied Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch as it sted out.


    Witnessing the sky filled with over a hundred True Essence Dragons, everyone in the za had their eyes wide open in shock.


    Boom!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fleshly fist collided with Guo Wei¡¯s.


    The hundred dragons bombarded the Thunder Serpents on Guo Wei¡¯s body.


    It was as if heaven and earth had exploded, and a massive roar erupted.


    The moment Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fleshly fist made contact with Guo Wei¡¯s, Guo Wei felt as though he had been struck by an ancient Divine Dragon.


    The immense power that made his heart tremble sent him flying backward like a broken kite.


    For the first time, Guo Wei experienced the sensation of being blown away by someone else.


    As Guo Wei crashed onto the tform, the corner of the stage where he hitpletely shattered and copsed. There was a dead silence below heaven.


    You could hear a pin drop.


    The crowd that had just been extremely excited waspletely frozen in ce.


    Xie Hong, who had just excitedly said that heaven blesses Tiandou Academy, was now staring fixedly at Guo Wei, disbelieving what his eyes had witnessed.


    Initially, he and everyone else thought that with just one punch from Guo Wei, it would be enough to blow Yang Xiaotian away, one punch to decide victory and defeat.


    But the one who was blown away was Guo Wei, who had cultivated the Ancient Thunder God Art and was in thete period of the seventhyer of Martial King.


    Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong were both dumbstruck.


    Chen Changqing, He Le, and a few of the Sword Hall Elders were also dumbfounded.


    ¡°This, this is impossible!¡± Zhong Yun stammered out, his face ugly, as if he was the one who had been blown away.


    Knowing how strong the physical body of Guo Wei, who had cultivated the Ancient Thunder God Art, they could only imagine, but it was actually no match for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s physical body!


    Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui, Sun Ze, and the others were standing with their mouths agape, unsure of how to describe their current feelings.


    Even Yang Xiaotian was surprised, not expecting that after executing the Primordial Dragon Art with eighty percent of his strength, it would be so formidable.


    The Primordial Dragon Art truly lived up to its reputation as the most top-notch cultivation technique of the Ancient Dragon n; even the Ancient Strongest Body Refining Art seemed weak inparison.


    Amidst the eerie silence, Guo Wei strenuously crawled up from the ground of the tform.


    Guo Wei¡¯s Wuding Academy battle robe had been sted to tatters, as if it had been sted by horrific power.


    Guo Wei, with disheveled hair, looked at Yang Xiaotian with terror.


    He had never been defeated before.


    He had always been invincible.


    But now facing Yang Xiaotian, for the first time, he felt a fear he had never experienced.


    He looked doubtfully at Yang Xiaotian, who had just unleashed a hundred True Essence Dragons with his punch. What Long n Technique was that?


    He had cultivated the Ancient Thunder God Art, which was considered the strongest ancient body-refining art. What Long n Technique could possibly be stronger than his Ancient Thunder God Art?


    Just now, when shing with Yang Xiaotian, he felt as if his seemingly indestructible iron fist had struck the dragon w of the Ancient Dragon n.


    Now, his fingers still painfully throbbed, making him shiver.


    Guo Wei took a deep breath to suppress the dread in his heart, his eyes icy, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I didn¡¯t use my full strength just now. Your Martial Soul is no match for mine, neither is your realm, nor your divine skills. I refuse to believe that I can lose!¡±


    As he spoke, a burst of intense light surged behind him, and a gigantic golden lion appeared.


    This golden lion was like a great mountain.


    The arena wasrge enough, but when the golden giant lion appeared, everyone suddenly felt as if the arena had shrunk.


    ¡°Golden Lion King!¡± Many powerful figures were shaken.


    The Golden Lion King was the strongest among the Lion Race Beasts, a top-tier level-twelve Martial Soul!


    This was Guo Wei¡¯s Martial Soul.


    However, the Golden Lion King was no ordinary top-tier level-twelve Martial Soul.


    Even among the numerous top- tier level-twelve Martial Souls, the Golden Lion King was definitely in the top ten.


    ¡°Indeed, the Golden Lion King!¡± Guo Wei spoke arrogantly. Bathed in the light of the Golden Lion King, his whole body appeared to be coated in golden radiance.


    From a distance, the tall Guo Wei resembled an Ancient Golden Beast God.


    At that moment, a golden longsword appeared in Guo Wei¡¯s hand.


    When the golden longsword appeared, strands of golden sword light refracted all around, making everyone feel as if their skin was being sliced open.


    Imperial might rampaged through heaven and earth.


    All were filled with fear.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Heavenly Sword, the Golden Emperor Sword!¡± eximed Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and others, utterly shocked.


    The sword in Guo Wei¡¯s hand was indeed the Golden Emperor Sword, ranked one hundred and tenth on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.


    Although it was only ranked one hundred and tenth on the Heavenly Sword Ranking, it still shook everyone present.


    The world of Martial Souls was vast and boundless; there were countless geniuses, but few could control a Heavenly Sword and earn its acknowledgment.


    Take the Divine Dragon Empire, for instance. The whole empire didn¡¯t have enough people who could wield a Heavenly Sword to count on one hand.


    The Divine Dragon Empire was already doing well. Some empires didn¡¯t even have a single person who could wield a Heavenly Sword.


    And now, Guo Wei had obtained the Golden Emperor Sword¡¯s acknowledgment and control!


    A ¡°once in ten thousand years genius¡±! Xie Hong was even more excited now than when he saw Guo Wei execute the Ancient Thunder God Art.


    As the head of Tiandou Academy, he was all too aware of how difficult it was to be recognized by a Heavenly Sword.


    Tiandou Academy had no shortage of geniuses, but not one had been acknowledged by a Heavenly Sword.


    Being recognized and able to control a Heavenly Sword was clear evidence of Guo Wei¡¯s extraordinary Sword Dao talent.


    Chen Changqing, He Le, and others were equally unable to conceal their shock upon seeing Guo Wei had earned acknowledgment from the Golden Emperor Sword. Their Hall Master, although also incredibly gifted in the Sword Dao, had not been recognized by a Heavenly Sword, right?


    ¡°The Golden Emperor Sword.¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the Golden Emperor Sword in Guo Wei¡¯s hand, surprised.


    One of the reasons he had joined Tiandou Academy was for their Controlling


    Dragon Sword. He hadn¡¯t expected Guo Wei to also possess a Heavenly Sword.


    ¡°Indeed, the Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword!¡± Guo Wei looked down proudly at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, show me your sword!¡± He then pointed his sword at Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing Guo Wei¡¯s proud demeanor, Yang Xiaotian did not summon the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword. Instead, sword Qi burst forth violently from him, and a hundred Supreme Treasure Longswords appeared behind him.


    As the hundred Supreme Treasure Longswords fanned out behind Yang Xiaotian like a peacock¡¯s tail, each emitted astonishing sword Qi that shot into the sky.


    The hundred sword rays, in the sunlight, left everyone feeling practically blinded.


    All who saw the hundred Supreme Treasure Longswords behind Yang Xiaotian were stunned.


    ¡°Supreme Treasure Longswords!¡±


    ¡°A hundred of them!¡±


    (Today, the chief editor sent me another message, saying that the performance of the book is very good and that I must hold steady.. Brothers, let¡¯s hold steady together and charge forward!)

 Chapter 145: So What If I Take Your Sword Strike?

    Chapter 145: So What If I Take Your Sword Strike?


    Trantor: 549690339


    If it were a hundred top-tier treasure longswords, the crowd wouldn¡¯t be so shocked, but what Yang Xiaotian had were a hundred super treasure swords!


    Top-tier treasures were rare, but still existed here and there; however, super treasures were extremely scarce, and people would rarely see even one ordinarily, but now, Yang Xiaotian had brought out a hundred at once!


    ¡°How does he have so many super treasure swords!¡± Fan Riquan¡¯s eyes bulged in shock.


    Generally, only when one¡¯s artifact refining level reached that of the top ten Divine Craftsmen could one create super treasure swords.


    Zhu Chenhui said in amazement, ¡°Could it be that they were left by Cao Shun?¡±


    Cao Shun, as the founding patriarch of the Divine Sword Academy, devoted his life to the research of swordsmanship and had a great passion for collecting various treasured swords.


    Xie Hong nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s likely, as Cao Shun left behind the legacy of the Sword Hall at the Divine Sword Academy, and Yang Xiaotian obtained Cao Shun¡¯s Sword Hall legacy.¡±


    ¡°It has been rumored that the Sword Hall legacy contains various treasured swords left by Cao Shun. It seems to be true.¡±


    On the stage, Guo Wei also stood stunned. He had instructed Yang Xiaotian to reveal his sword, but he hadn¡¯t expected Yang Xiaotian to disy a hundred super treasure longswords right away.


    After ncing at the hundred super treasure longswords behind Yang Xiaotian, he said coldly, ¡°The value of a sword lies in its quality, not its quantity, one is enough! ¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, so what if you have a hundred super treasure longswords? In front of my Emperor Sword, they¡¯re all trash.¡±


    ¡°Now, watch as I shatter your hundred super treasure longswords!¡± With that, he leapt into the air, swinging the Emperor Sword.


    Suddenly, imperial majesty soared.


    Apanied by a golden radiance, an astonishing beam of sword light instantly cut through the space of the arena, striking in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian swung a single hand, and the hundred super treasure longswords turned into flying dragons, striking the opponent¡¯s sword light with unerring uracy.


    Then, under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s control, the hundred longswords rose into the sky, transforming incredibly into a huge sword column, which instantly appeared above Guo Wei¡¯s head before crashing down with a spinning motion. The hundred longswords were iparably fast, so fast that Guo Wei¡¯s sword light had just been scattered. Before he could enact a second move, the enormous sword column was already thundering down above his head.


    Fright caused Guo Wei¡¯splexion to drastically change, and he rolled to the ground.


    He had just rolled to the side when the sword column hit the spot where he had just been standing.


    Boom!


    The arena¡¯s ground was violently sted open, creating a sword pit several meters wide.


    Looking at the sword pit several meters wide, Guo Wei¡¯s scalp tingled with numbness. If he hadn¡¯t dodged a moment sooner, he feared that his body would have been directly sted open by a sword pit several meters wide.


    The thought of having a sword pit several meters wide sted through his body was a terrifying prospect!


    The crowd around the arena, watching Guo Wei on stage, wore odd expressions, because although Guo Wei had managed to dodge Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword column, his scalp had still been grazed by the sword qi.


    Feeling the crowd¡¯s gaze, Guo Wei unconsciously touched the tingling spot on his head, only to discover that the area was as smooth as silk, yet he could not feel any hair there.


    Guo Wei knew all too well what had happened, and he erupted in rage, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±


    His Emperor Sword in hand began to turn.


    In that turn, several beams of golden sword qi shot furiously towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Each beam of sword qi was incredibly fast, too fast for many of the experts to see clearly.


    But Yang Xiaotian simply waved his hand, and several beams of sword qi shot out, shattering Guo Wei¡¯s sword qi.


    ¡°Your sword is too slow!¡± said Yang Xiaotian as he finished speaking. His fingers formed a sword, and a beam of sword qi shot straight out, at least twice as fast as Guo Wei¡¯s previous sword qi. As the oing sword qi approached, Guo Wei dodged in rm, but he was still half a step too slow, and his right ear was pierced by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword qi.


    Clutching his pierced right ear, Guo Wei was furious, and with a sweep of his Emperor Sword in hand, a series of golden sword qi turned into numerousyers of sword waves, striking at Yang Xiaotian.


    But at that moment, the hundred longswords, like a torrential rain, pierced through the golden sword waves.


    Immediately after, the hundred longswords dispersed, and each sword struck with a different sword technique!


    A hundred swords meant a hundred different sword techniques.


    Sword qi filled the sky, all aimed at Guo Wei.


    Standing in the arena, Guo Wei looked pale as he faced the overwhelming sword techniques and sword qi. In terror, he kept rotating the Emperor Sword in his hands.


    On the presidential tform, Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and others watched the contest between Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei, feeling increasingly ufortable the more they watched.


    Guo Wei, this supreme Sword Dao genius who was highly regarded by all the senior members of the Tiandou Academy, had been so savagely beaten by Yang Xiaotian that he could hardly defend himself.


    Was this really the supreme Sword Dao genius that all their senior members had high hopes for?


    Zhong Yun, seeing the expressions of Xie Hong and the others, exined, ¡°Guo Wei hasn¡¯t had the chance to use the Supreme Divine Sword Technique yet. As long as he uses the Supreme Divine Sword Technique at the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian will surely be defeated!¡±


    Boom!


    At that moment, a loud noise came from the arena, only to see Guo Wei struck by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword once again, copsing at the edge of the stage, covered in blood, and not getting up for a long time.


    Zhong Yun was choked up.


    Guo Wei did not get up for a long time. Just as the referee was about to step forward to check on Guo Wei¡¯s injuries, they saw Guo Wei, drenched in blood, tremblingly stand up, his body suddenly emitting blood-like mes of lightning.


    The aura emanating from Guo Wei¡¯s body climbed continuously.


    Thunder and lightning coalesced, forming an ocean of lightning.


    ¡°Guo Wei¡¯s breakthrough of the Ancient Thunder God Art has urred!¡± He Le eximed in shock.


    Zhong Yun and the masters of Wuding Academy were exhrated to see this.


    For an ancient and strongest body refining art like the Ancient Thunder God Art, breakthroughs are extremely difficult. Once a breakthrough is made, one¡¯s strength is bound to surge immensely.


    With Guo Wei¡¯s strength soaring, the oue of the battle became uncertain.


    Guo Wei, feeling the explosive power of the thunder and lightning within his body, saw his battle robe stir as if moved by an invisible wind.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take my sword!¡± His eyes fiercely intent, heunched an attack with the Emperor Sword.


    When Guo Wei executed this strike, yin and yang reversed, space-time turned upside down. Everyone had an illusion as if the sky had be the earth, and the earth had be the sky.


    ¡°Supreme Divine Power Samsara Sword Art!¡±


    ¡°Perfection Realm!¡±


    A Sword Dao master recognized Guo Wei¡¯s technique at a nce and eximed in shock.


    Supreme Divine Power Samsara Sword Art, Perfection Realm!


    All present were shaken.


    ¡°Guo Wei has actually cultivated the Samsara Sword Art to the Perfection Realm!¡± Even Chen Changqing was greatly surprised.


    The Samsara Sword Art isn¡¯t an ordinary supreme divine power but a pinnacle one.


    He had once dabbled in the Samsara Sword Art and was deeply aware of its power.


    Once struck by the Samsara Sword Qi, the blood in one¡¯s body would flow in reverse, causing one to bleed from the seven orifices and die.


    ¡°So what if I take one of your swords.¡± Yang Xiaotian beckoned with his hand, and a hundred longswords suddenly merged into one. He thrust out with the sword in his grasp.


    In an instant, the air was filled with myriad sword Qi.


    Within the myriad sword Qi, the sun and the moon rose and fell, myriad beasts appeared and disappeared, mountains and rivers re-emerged, encapsting heaven and earth and all living things.


    The Sword Qi of the two collided with each other.


    The sound of explosions was unceasing.


    When the Sword Qi of both dissipated, the arena had been utterly transformed by the strength of their sword Qi.


    And Guo Wei, he kept retreating, his lightning dimming and losing its luster.


    His already tattered battle robe was now shed into ribbons by the sword Qi.


    Seeing Guo Wei continually retreating, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, everyone was stunned; even the Perfection Realm Samsara Sword Art had been defeated.


    ¡°What was that just now?!¡± Fan Riquan recalled Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword strike just a moment ago, filled with uncertainty.


    ¡°Myriad Aspects Sword Technique!¡± Xie Hong dered in an extremely solemn tone.


    And it was the Perfection Realm!

 Chapter 146: Lost

    Chapter 146: Lost


    Trantor: 549690339


    Listening to Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, Zhong Yun, Zhu Chenhui, Sun Ze, and the others were tremendously shocked to hear that the technique Yang Xiaotian had just used was indeed the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique.


    Several hundreds of years ago, a Sword Sect expert nearly defeated all challengers within the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom using just the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique.


    However, the whereabouts of that Sword Sect expert suddenly became unknown.


    The Myriad Aspects Sword Technique also disappeared for several hundreds of years.


    ¡°The Myriad Aspects Sword Technique! Could it be an inheritance from Cao Shun? I didn¡¯t expect that Cao Shun actually obtained the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique!¡± Fan Riquan eximed with amazement.


    Guo Wei touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, a crazed look on his face, his entire body burning with a bloodthirsty aura as his strength climbed once more.


    Clearly, he had used some kind of forbidden technique to forcibly increase his cultivation level.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I refuse to believe that I will lose to you, I can¡¯t possibly lose to you!¡± Guo Wei¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he struck out again with the Emperor Sword.


    ¡°Take my second sword strike!¡±


    Guo Wei roared with fury.


    A stunningly brilliant Sword Qi burst forth as he swung his sword.


    This dazzling Sword Qi shone like the bright stars in the sky, as resplendent as the radiant light of ancient gems, so eye-catching, so breathtaking.


    ¡°The Splendor Sword Art!¡± eximed Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the others in unison.


    The original owner of the Emperor Sword a thousand years ago was precisely the Emperor himself, a Great Emperor.


    The Splendor Sword Art was a Supreme Divine Power created by the Emperor.


    Back then, the Emperor challenged the Saint Realm with his imperial might, even defeating it, an astonishing feat that earned him the reputation as one of the strongest ten emperors in the history of the Divine Dragon Empire for the past thousand years.


    Even after a thousand years, people still speak of the Emperor with endless admiration.


    Now, the Splendor Sword Art disyed by Guo Wei was also at the Perfection Realm.


    The Splendor Sword Art was so powerful, it was said to cut through the hardest fine iron with a single strike.


    Watching the radiant Sword Qi approach, Yang Xiaotian waved his long sword once again.


    The moment Yang Xiaotian swung his sword, the surrounding Heaven and Earth seemed to stagger as if they were struck by a heavy blow.


    Sword Qi burst forth continuously.


    These Sword Qi seemed chaotic, but when gathered together, they formed a mysterious Rune.


    Boom!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi collided once again with the radiant Sword Qi.


    The Splendor Sword Qi, reputed to be able to cut through the hardest fine iron with a single strike, was instantly shattered and dispersed into nothingness.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi, with the Rune, swept forward with an unstoppable momentum, heading straight for Guo Wei.


    Guo Wei¡¯s face paled with shock as he swung the Emperor Sword to create walls of Sword Qi, attempting to block Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Rune-filled Sword Qi, to no avail; it prated through instantaneously.


    In thest moment, Guo Wei summoned a Golden Shield.


    This Golden Shield, its surface swirling with Runes, exuded a formidable imperial aura.


    Hum!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Rune-filled Sword Qi struck against the Golden Shield.


    Immediately, the Golden Shield was sent flying, and Guo Wei was once more forced to retreat, blood spewing from his mouth.


    Guo Wei propped himself up with his sword to avoid falling.


    The crowd on-site watched this scene, deeply shaken.


    There was no doubt about Guo Wei¡¯s strength, his Sword Dao Talent was exceptional; the Samsara Sword Art, the Splendor Sword Art both at Perfection Realm. However, regardless of Guo Wei¡¯s strength, regardless of how advanced his swordsmanship was, he was always defeated, crushed by Yang Xiaotian.


    Defeated utterly andpletely!


    ¡°The Shocking Heaven Sword Art!¡± Fan Riquan suddenly recalled Yang Xiaotian¡¯s previous strike and eximed.


    The reputation of the Shocking Heaven Sword Art was only stronger, not weaker, than the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique.


    And the Shocking Heaven Sword Art that Yang Xiaotian had just disyed was also at the Perfection Realm.


    ¡°Is there a third sword?¡± Yang Xiaotian advanced with his sword towards Guo Wei.


    A third sword?


    All eyes fell on Guo Wei.


    Guo Wei gave a grin, his smile ferocious, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll let you see my third strike!¡±


    ¡°Sword of Hell from Senluo!¡± he said slowly, as the Emperor Sword in his hand struck out wildly.


    Hearing Guo Wei¡¯s Sword of Hell from Senluo, Xie Hong and the others paled, could it be?


    With Guo Wei¡¯s sword unleashed, the sky and earth changed color, the sword wind moaning as if emerging from hell itself.


    This was the Hell Sword, and it was also the Sword of Death.


    Seeing this strike, everyone shuddered uncontrobly.


    Yang Xiaotian, upon seeing this, struck simultaneously with his own sword.


    With one swing, it eradicated everything.


    Every mighty existence in the world seemed doomed to be in by this single swing.


    Guo Wei¡¯s Senluo Hell Sword Qi was pierced through by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi, eradicatedpletely, leaving not a drop behind.


    The eradication Sword Qinded on Guo Wei in a sequence.


    Guo Wei was thrown up from the tform, smashing onto the ground of the za, his battle robepletely shattered.


    Yang Xiaotian stood upon the tform, looking at his opponent, ¡°Do you have a fourth strike?¡±


    Guo Wei struggled to lift his head, trying to grasp his sword, but having used up hisst bit of strength, he slumped there, fainting away.


    The crowd in the square was at a loss for words.


    Guo Wei¡¯s three strikes, all of them Perfection Realm.


    But all werepletely suppressed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three strikes.


    ¡°Lost.¡± Students of Wuding Academy, seeing Guo Wei sted off the tform and lying there unconscious, all hung their heads in dejection, hearts filled with chilling grief and despondency.


    Gou Wei had always been the towering mountain that the students of Wuding Academy looked up to.


    But now, this mountain had fallen, not just fallen, but was lying there, like a dead dog.


    Xiao Yong and Lin Xiao, watching Guo Wei lying there, also struggled to calm their emotions for a long time.


    Before the contest, they had always regarded Guo Wei as the ultimate opponent, but now, Guo Wei was sprawled out there.


    Xiao Yong, who had been keen to see if Yang Xiaotian was as formidable as the rumors suggested, was now silent. Despite having mastered the Stars Infinity Technique, and even though his Martial Soul was the Ancient Ster Gods, his strength was definitely not superior to Guo Wei¡¯s.


    If Guo Wei himself was hammered into a dead dog, what would happen if he faced Yang Xiaotianter ¨C should he fight back, or just admit defeat right awav?


    Xiao Yong¡¯splexion changed constantly.


    In the following battles for the top hundred, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s second opponent was a disciple from Ancient Sword Academy, the premier academy of the Ancient Sword Kingdom. The disciple, not weak in strength, conceded immediately upon seeing Yang Xiaotian as his opponent.


    Then came the third and fourth bouts.


    Soon, the top ten were decided.


    The Son of Thunder ultimately only managed to secure a spot in the top twenty.


    Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao all made it to the top ten.


    However, in the first match of the top ten, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponent turned to be Lin Xiao, the possessor of the Thousandfold Divine Body.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s first match in the top ten was with Lin Xiao, everyone perked up.


    ¡°How do you all see this battle?¡± Xie Hong asked the senior members of Tiandou Academy.


    This time, Zhong Yun said nothing.


    Sun Ze pondered, ¡°Lin Xiao¡¯s Thousandfold Divine Body, innate Divine Power, and invincible defense are said to be unbreakable by anyone of the same realm. He shouldn¡¯t lose, should he?¡± Even as he spoke, hecked confidence.


    After all, the scene of Yang Xiaotian striking Guo Wei earlier had been too shocking.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Yang Xiaotian and Lin Xiao climbed onto the stage.


    Lin Xiao looked at Yang Xiaotian confidently, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you are indeed very strong, freakishly strong, but today, the victor will be me.¡± After speaking, he recited an incantation, and a rift in the void opened, from which a giant beast emerged.


    Lin Xiao was not only powerful on his own but also a Beast Tamer with a formidable natural talent.


    The giant beast he had tamed was an eightyer Martial King Giant Ape, and not just an ordinary one but in thete stage!

    Chapter 147: Get out of the way


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Beast Tamer!¡± No matter whether it was Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, or Fan Riquan, all were taken aback.


    Lin Xiao turned out to be a Beast Tamer!


    This was something no one had anticipated.


    Moreover, the fierce beast that Lin Xiao controlled had the strength of ate-stage Martial King level eight!


    Lin Xiao himself was at the mid-stage of Martial King level seven, yet he could control a fierce beast ofte-stage Martial King level eight, which showed how strong Lin Xiao¡¯s Beast Taming talent was.


    If one didn¡¯t have a sufficiently strong Beast Taming talent, it would be impossible to control a fierce beast more powerful than oneself.


    But Lin Xiao had done it.


    ¡°Good, good!¡± Zhong Yun was delighted andughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Lin Xiao to be a Beast Tamer with such formidable talent. This is indeed a huge surprise.


    In this recruitment, Lin Xiao is bound to im the first ce!¡±


    For various reasons, he did not want Yang Xiaotian to win first ce. Xie Hong also shook his head. Originally, everyone thought that the recruitment¡¯s first ce would be Yang Xiaotian¡¯s, but in the end, Lin Xiao turned out to be such a powerful Beast Tamer.


    Just the fierce beast ofte-stage Martial King level eight was enough for Yang


    Xiaotian to deal with, let alone adding Lin Xiao with the invincible defense of a Thousandfold Divine Body. Yang Xiaotian practically had no chance of winning.


    At this moment, Guo Wei, who had been knocked unconscious by Yang


    Xiaotian, had been revived by the people of Wuding Academy and hade to. Seeing Lin Xiao summon a fierce beast ofte-stage Martial King level eight, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    For him, it would be better for Lin Xiao to take first ce than for Yang Xiaotian to win it.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian on the stage, gloating in his misfortune. Yang Xiaotian, even if you defeated me, what of it? In the end, you still won¡¯t get the first ce.


    At that moment, the Giant Ape summoned by Lin Xiao suddenly let out a roar that resounded to the heavens, buzzing in everyone¡¯s minds.


    The roar of the Giant Ape even contained the power to prate the soul.


    It was an astonishing disy of the might of fierce beasts, spreading throughout heaven and earth.


    Everyone was greatly astonished.


    ¡°What kind of ape is this?¡± questioned a family disciple in surprise.


    On the main tform, Xie Hong looked at Lin Xiao¡¯s Giant Ape, his expression growing more shocked by the moment, ¡°This is the Ancient Fierce Beast Zhu


    Yan!¡±


    As soon as Xie Hong spoke, Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui, and others were shocked, ¡°What, the Ancient Fierce Beast Zhu Yan!¡±


    Upon careful observation, they indeed found that the Giant Ape behind Lin Xiao closely resembled the descriptions of the fierce beast Zhu Yan found in ancient texts.


    The Ancient Fierce Beast Zhu Yan, with a white head and red feet, possessed a massive tail, and Lin Xiao¡¯s Giant Ape shared these same features: white head, red feet, and a huge tail.


    When the strong parties in the square heard that Lin Xiao¡¯s Giant Ape was the Ancient Fierce Beast Zhu Yan, there was a huge uproar.


    Although the Fierce Beast Zhu Yan wasn¡¯t a Divine Beast, its bloodline was extremely powerful; it was notoriously formidable in ancient times and was the existence closest to being a Divine Beast.


    ¡°Indeed, this fierce beast of mine is Zhu Yan.¡± While everyone was discussing, Lin Xiao spoke up.


    After getting Lin Xiao¡¯s confirmation, Zhong Yun was thrilled, ¡°It really is the Fierce Beast Zhu Yan!¡±


    The Fierce Beast Zhu Yan had boundless strength and extremely sharp ws that could split mountains with a single swipe.


    Yang Xiaotian was bound to lose!


    ¡°It seems Yang Xiaotian is going to lose!¡± The students from Wuding Academy jeered, ¡°Yang Xiaotian thought he could take first ce, but now his calctions havee to nothing.¡±


    The students of War God Academy were ecstatic, filled with excitement.


    Amidst the shock of the crowd, Lin Xiao and the Fierce Beast Zhu Yan approached Yang Xiaotian.


    Zhu Yan¡¯s towering figure, like a small mountain, shook the stage with every step it took.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you are a Beast Tamer, you can also summon your fierce beast,¡± Lin Xiao said.


    Clearly, he was insinuating that Yang Xiaotian did not have a fierce beast.


    Yang Xiaotian thought of the Azure Thunder Python and shook his head, ¡°No need.¡± If he were to summon the Azure Thunder Python, he feared the situation would be uncontroble.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian decline, Lin Xiao said, ¡°No matter, if you have a fierce beast, you are wee to summon it.¡±


    He was convinced Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t have a fierce beast.


    He was sure that Yang Xiaotian could not summon a fierce beast and wanted to make him look foolish.


    Lin Xiao¡¯s intentions were clear for Yang Xiaotian to see.


    ¡°Cut the crap, fight!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold as he approached Lin Xiao, ¡°You¡¯re proud to show off such trash that you¡¯ve tamed?¡±


    What!


    Trash?


    Everyone was astonished when they heard Yang Xiaotian rebuking Lin Xiao, calling his beast trash.


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, he¡¯s simply boundless in his arrogance,¡± Zhong Yun said angrily, ¡°The boy has no idea how high the sky is or how deep the ground is!¡±


    That was the Ancient Fierce Beast Zhu Yan, the closest being to a Divine Beast, and yet Yang Xiaotian had called it trash.


    This made Zhong Yun fume with anger.


    Xie Hong and Fan Riquan shook their heads as well.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, who the hell do you think you are!¡± A student from War God


    Academy couldn¡¯t hold back their anger, ¡®Wait and see how Lin Xiao¡¯s brother


    Zhu Yan crushes you so bad you won¡¯t even recognize your own mother.¡±


    On the stage, Lin Xiao was also furious, and he roared at the Zhu Yan beast beside him, ¡°Go, st him to death for me!¡±


    His Zhu Yan beast let out a roar and charged at Yang Xiaotian.


    Although Zhu Yan was huge, its speed was incredibly fast, it reached Yang Xiaotian in a blink, its massive and extremely sharp ws swinging down at him.


    Yang Xiaotian looked small and frail before the massive ws of the Zhu Yan beast; as the viciously sharp ws were about to smash him into a meat patty on the stage, suddenly, the wildly berserk ws of Zhu Yan came to a violent halt midair.


    Next, Zhu Yan backed away in terror, looking at Yang Xiaotian with eyes filled with panic.


    This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Zhu Yan¡¯s attack stopped?!¡±


    Even Lin Xiao was taken by surprise.


    He couldn¡¯t understand what was happening.


    All he could sense was that Zhu Yan was terribly afraid of Yang Xiaotian.


    But what exactly was it afraid of?


    Yang Xiaotian walked toward Zhu Yan.


    Just then, suddenly, the terrified Zhu Yan beast, scared out of its wits, knelt down, trembling.


    Seeing Zhu Yan kneel before Yang Xiaotian, everyone was stunned.


    What kind of move was this?


    Wasn¡¯t Zhu Yan Lin Xiao¡¯s beast? Why was it kneeling to Yang Xiaotian instead?


    Yang Xiaotian looked down at the trembling Zhu Yan, knowing full well what Zhu Yan was afraid of because, at the moment of its attack, it had felt the presence of his Azure Thunder Python, the King of Divine Beasts!


    It had sensed the terrifying existence of the Azure Thunder Python.


    Seeing his controlled fierce beast Zhu Yan kneel before Yang Xiaotian, Lin Xiao¡¯s face turned extremely unsightly.


    He yelled furiously, ¡°Get up!¡± and frantically activated the Blood Sacrifice Technique, trying to control Zhu Yan, but no matter how he screamed or how desperately he used the Blood Sacrifice Technique, it was useless, Zhu Yan remained shivering, prostrated on the ground.


    Yang Xiaotian walked up to Zhu Yan and kicked out, sending Zhu Yan flying off the stage, ¡°Get lost.¡±


    Zhu Yan, massive as a small mountain, was effortlessly kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, crashing down below the stage.


    Everyone was shocked as they witnessed this scene.


    Dumbstruck, they watched Zhu Yan being kicked off the stage like trash by Yang Xiaotian.


    Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, Guo Wei, and everyone else were dumbfounded.


    Yang Xiaotian, having kicked Zhu Yan away, turned his gaze towards Lin Xiao.


    Just moments ago, Zhu Yan took up most of the space on the stage, but now, without Zhu Yan, Lin Xiao stood alone on the stage, looking isted.


    (Awesome!)

 Chapter 148: Now, It’s Your Turn

    Chapter 148: Now, It¡¯s Your Turn


    Trantor: 549690339


    Lin Xiao, who had earlier been moring for Yang Xiaotian to summon his mythical beast, paled upon seeing Yang Xiaotian looking over, a sense of dread creeping into him.


    Before this, he was full of confidence, even believing that he didn¡¯t need to make a move himself, and that his fierce beast Zhu Yan alone could easily dispatch Yang Xiaotian.


    But now?


    Zhu Yan was lying with its butt poked up under the arena, unclear if it was truly dead or feigning death.


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s your turn,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Lin Xiao tried topose himself, his expression fierce but with fear lurking within, as he pointed his saber at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, even without the fierce beast Zhu Yan, I can still defeat you!¡±


    As he spoke, his entire body surged with Divine Light.


    Every inch of his skin emitted beams of Divine Light.


    This was the Thousandfold Divine Body.


    A tremendous divine presence enveloped the heavens, overwhelming all. As the divine presence swept over, everyone felt an urge to bow down in reverence.


    ¡°Take my saber, Lingtian Saber!¡± Lin Xiao bellowed, shing down with his de.


    A peerless de Qi, tearing throughyers of space, shed towards Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Lingtian Saber!¡± Many elders from the academies gasped upon seeing Lin Xiao¡¯s Lingtian Saber.


    The Lingtian Saber was the signature Unique Skill of the founder of War God Academy, the Lingtian War God, a top-tier Supreme Divine Power.


    Back in the day, the Lingtian War God defeated countless strong opponents with this saber technique.


    Almost no one could withstand his two sabers.


    There was a legend that once the Lingtian War God drew his saber, even Demon Gods would retreat!


    Although it might sound exaggerated, it underscores the strength of the Lingtian Saber.


    And now, Lin Xiao had cultivated his Lingtian Saber to the Perfection Realm.


    Tne yerrectlon Realm Lingn saDer possessea an InvinciD1e nugnt.


    Watching the iing Lingtian Saber Qi, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, which previously held a long sword, now had a great saber¡ªthis saber was also a superb weapon he had forged.


    He raised the great saber and casually struck down with it.


    When Yang Xiaotian executed his strike, it produced as many as ten thousand de energies!


    ¡°Myriad Sabers!¡± Upon seeing the ten thousand de energies Yang Xiaotian had unleashed, Xie Hong recalled a long-lost Supreme Divine Power. Myriad Sabers was also one of the eleven Supreme Divine Powers left by Cao


    Shun.


    The Perfection Realm Myriad Sabers Qi collided with the Lingtian Saber Qi.


    de energies burst out, resplendently luminous.


    The Lingtian Saber Qi was scattered by the st, and the relentless force of the Myriad Sabers Qi instantly shed Lin Xiao.


    The moment the Myriad Sabers Qi hit, Lin Xiao¡¯s protective armor shattered into countless fragments.


    And Lin Xiao himself was sent retreating repeatedly by the strikes.


    As he managed to stabilize himself, Lin Xiao felt a heat in his throat, and with an open mouth, he spewed a mouthful of blood.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian with horror.


    Not only was Yang Xiaotian highly skilled in Sword Dao, but he was also proficient in saber techniques, sessfully cultivating a long-lost Supreme Saber Divine Power like Myriad Sabers and even achieving the Perfection Realm with ten thousand de energies!


    The Myriad Aspects Sword Technique from earlier, the Shocking Heaven Sword Art, the Sword of ughter, all were at the Perfection Realm, and now with Myriad Sabers, that made four Supreme Divine Powers at the Perfection Realm. How many Supreme Divine Powers had Yang Xiaotian cultivated? And to how many had he reached the Perfection Realm?


    Lin Xiao was shocked, and so were all the other mighty fighters present.


    Many powerful beings spent their entire lives unable to cultivate a single Supreme Divine Power to the Perfection Realm, yet Yang Xiaotian had already mastered four such powers to the Perfection Realm.


    The key point was, Yang Xiaotian was not even nine years old!


    Even Xie Hong could not help but exim in admiration.


    ¡°Do you have a second saber?¡± Yang Xiaotian, holding the great saber, walked towards Lin Xiao.


    Lin Xiao¡¯s face turned unsightly.


    Just now, that was the tone Yang Xiaotian used with Guo Wei.


    Lin Xiao, with rage surging, lifted his saber and began to channel his True Yuan furiously, causing the Divine Light of his Divine Body to erupt violently.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I refuse to believe that you can use the fifth Supreme Divine Power!¡± he shed out once again.


    As his sh tore through the air, de Qi rolled forth, apanied by waves of heat, as if the surrounding Heaven and Earth had entered a world of fiery magma.


    ¡°Fire Emperor de Qi!¡± Upon seeing the fiery de Qi, many people eximed.


    The Fire Emperor de Qi, a Supreme Divine Power created by a powerful predecessor known as the Fire Emperor.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian also executed a sh.


    Cold and clear de Qi surged like the sea.


    The stage roared with frosty air.


    The rollicking Fire Emperor de Qi was instantly enveloped by the cold and clear de Qi.


    Wherever the cold and clear de Qi passed, the Fire Emperor de Qi continuouslv vanished.


    Indeed, vanished, as if it had never appeared.


    The cold and clear de Qi struck Lin Xiao once again.


    Hit by the de Qi, Lin Xiao was flung into the air, crashing down from the stage to the ground.


    As Lin Xiao hit the ground, everyone saw a horrifying gash extending from his shoulder down to his lower abdomen.


    Witnessing the terrifying gash, the crowd inhaled sharply.


    Lin Xiao was none other than a possessor of the Thousandfold Divine Body, a superior Divine Body, and yet he was still wounded to such an extent by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s single sh. Had the cut been any deeper, it might have split him open from chest to stomach.


    Yang Xiaotian, holding his saber, looked indifferently at Lin Xiao, who was lying on the ground, no longer able to execute a third strike, and then nced at the student from War God Academy.


    The War God Academy student, who had been boldly iming that Lin Xiao¡¯s Ancient Fierce Beast, Zhu Yan, would maul Yang Xiaotian so badly that not even his own mother would recognize him, now quivered in fear upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze, his legs so weak that he couldn¡¯t stand straight no matter how hard he tried.


    In the end, the referee announced Yang Xiaotian as the victor.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian leave the stage, there was no cheering from the crowd, only a silent shock.


    Even Lin Xiao, with his superior Divine Body, had been defeated. Adding the Ancient Fierce Beast Zhu Yan into the mix didn¡¯t make any difference; just like Guo Wei, he was soundly beaten.


    Zhong Yun, who had just been furiously berating Yang Xiaotian for not Imowing the heights of Heaven and the depths of Earth, was now utterly silent.


    Everyone had mixed feelings.


    With Guo Wei defeated, and now even Lin Xiao who possessed a superior Divine Body fallen, who else could stand against Yang Xiaotian?


    The crowd¡¯s eyes involuntarily turned toward Xiao Yong.


    Feeling everyone¡¯s gaze, Xiao Yong did not dare to meet their eyes.


    Next, for the second fight of the top ten, Yang Xiaotian drew Xiao Yong.


    Although he knew he would have to face Yang Xiaotian eventually, Xiao Yong¡¯s hands still trembled involuntarily when he actually drew him.


    Facing the anticipation of the crowd, Xiao Yong, who had stepped onto the stage, directly conceded to Yang Xiaotian.


    At the moment he conceded, Xiao Yong felt his face burn with shame and his heart race, wishing he could sink into a crack in the ground.


    Before the match, he had vowed to his guards that if he encountered Yang Xiaotian in thepetition, he would show no mercy; yet now, he dared not even raise his hand to strike.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian imed the first ce.


    Xie Hong watched as Yang Xiaotian seized first ce in this year¡¯s Tiandou Academy recruitment, filled with emotion. Atst, he personally handed over the prize for first ce to Yang Xiaotian, including the Supreme Divine Power manual ¡°Skywalking Thousand Swords¡±.


    Holding the prize, Yang Xiaotian returned to his mansion with Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and others.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, suddenly someone cried out, wailing.


    ¡°It¡¯s over, I bet all my fortunes on Guo Wei winning this time!¡± ¡°I¡¯m in the same boat; I even staked my mother¡¯s treasured saber!¡±


    ¡°Then your mother is surely going to kill you.¡±


    A chorus of howls erupted from the crowd.


    On his way back, Yang Xiaotian passed by some shops, and decided to sell the prize of ten top-quality Nine Suns Longevity Pills and the set of advanced treasures. Now even the people under him consumed the finest Nine Suns Longevity Pills, using nothing but the best treasures, these lesser items were naturally of no use to him..

 Chapter 149: Be Careful of Zhong Yun

    Chapter 149: Be Careful of Zhong Yun


    Trantor: 549690339


    Back at the manor, Wu Qi, Liu An, Chen Changqing, and others were certainly celebrating grandly.


    Laughter and joyful voices filled the residence, and even Xiao Jin, licking his lollipop, was licking it with extra glee.


    The results of the talent assessment for enrollment at the Tiandou Academy soon spread back to the various great kingdoms.


    In Yang Family Manor, Yang Ming and Yang Hai, who hade to Xingyue City on business, saw that the city, umonly, was filled with festiventerns hanging everywhere, with lights and decorations strewn all over, and they couldn¡¯t help but feel curious.


    Unable to contain his wonder, Yang Hai pulled aside a guard of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and asked what was going on.


    ¡°Just now, news came from Tiandou Imperial City that in this enrollment assessment of the Tiandou Academy, Lord Divine Yang has seized first ce!¡± the guard from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion said excitedly, ¡°His Majesty has ordered a celebration across the entire nation in every city!¡±


    That Yang Xiaotian seized first ce in the enrollment assessment of the Tiandou Academy was an unparalleled honor for Divine Sea Country.


    Yang Ming and Yang Hai were stunned.


    ¡°You mean to say, Divine Yang, Yang Xiaotian, has seized first ce in this enrollment assessment of the Tiandou Academy?¡± Yang Hai stammered as he asked.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Lord Divine Yang!¡± eximed the guard from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion,


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Guo Wei from Wuding Academy cultivated the Ancient Strongest


    Body Refining Art, yet he was still sted away by a punch from Lord Divine


    Yang, utterly trounced in a pitiful sight.¡±


    ¡°And our esteemed Prince Xiao Yong of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, when faced with Lord Divine Yang, didn¡¯t even dare to make a move.¡±


    The guard from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion spoke with such fervor that he was practically spitting.


    Yang Hai¡¯s mind buzzed, no longer able to make out what was being said further, and as Yang Ming left, his eyes were dull, his spirit disorientated, as if his very soul were lost.


    That night, after the festivities, Yang Xiaotian took out the ¡°Skywalking Thousand Swords¡± and began to browse through it.


    The Skywalking Thousand Swords, as one of the Big Dipper Academy¡¯s top ten


    Swordsmanship Divine Abilities, was incredibly profound and exquisite; Yang Xiaotian was so immersed in the world of swordsmanship that before he knew it, night had deepened.


    While Yang Xiaotian was engrossed in the sword realm of the Skywalking Thousand Swords, many masters from various great kingdoms, academies, and ns stayed up all night, discussing this year¡¯s talent assessment at the Tiandou Academy, and discussing Yang Xiaotian.


    The grand hall of the Tiandou Academy was also bright with lights aze.


    Xie Hong, surveying Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, and other masters, opened the discussion, ¡°How does everyone view this enrollment assessment of the Tiandou Academy?¡±


    Previous enrollment assessments at the Tiandou Academy would focus on training the top ten; for the first ce, even more resources would be poured into their cultivation.


    Upon hearing this, Zhong Yun immediately responded, ¡°That¡¯s not appropriate.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul is only at level eleven, inferior to Guo Wei¡¯s and Lin Xiao¡¯s. Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, either of them has a Martial Soul stronger than Yang Xiaotian¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, let¡¯s not forget, Guo Wei has been recognized by the Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword!¡±


    ¡°I believe, Guo Wei and Lin Xiao¡¯s future achievements will definitely far surpass Yang Xiaotian¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°We should devote all our resources to cultivate either Guo Wei or Lin Xiao.¡±


    Sun Ze also spoke up, ¡°I agree with Brother Zhong. We should indeed devote all our resources to cultivating Guo Wei and Lin Xiao.¡±


    ¡°Guo Wei is a reincarnation of a Divine Spirit, and he has also been recognized by the Emperor Sword.¡±


    ¡°Lin Xiao possesses a superior Divine Body; both of them have the potential to attain the Divine Spirit Realm in the future, but this may not be the case for Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°Rather than wasting resources on Yang Xiaotian, it would be better to invest in Guo Wei and Lin Xiao.¡±


    The Second Elder Zhu Chenhui did not speak, and the other Elders also echoed


    Zhong Yun and Sun Ze, showing a simr preference for Guo Wei and Lin Xiao.


    Fan Riquan frowned, ¡°Although the Martial Soul talents of Guo Wei and Lin Xiao are indeed higher than Yang Xiaotian¡¯s, in this assessment, the first ce is Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Zhong Yun retorted, ¡°The academy has no rule that states we must devote all resources to cultivate the first ce.¡±


    Fan Riquan mused silently.


    Indeed, there was no rule in the academy that they had to allocate all resources to cultivate the first ce winner.


    A night passed.


    The sun shone brightly.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped out of his room and called over Liu An and the others, instructing them to go to the Tiandou Imperial City ve market to buy a batch of ves in the Innate Realm to take care of the extensive manor with its flowers and nts.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave the manor to head to the Tiandou Academy, he saw Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and the other twoing to find him.


    Now that the enrollment and assessment at the Tiandou Academy had ended, the five of them hade to bid farewell to Yang Xiaotian as they nned to return to the Divine Sword Academy.


    Before departing, Chen Changqing hesitated a moment before advising Yang


    Xiaotian to be cautious of the Great Elder of the Tiandou Academy, Zhong Yun.


    ¡°Be wary of Zhong Yun?¡± Yang Xiaotian felt puzzled, as he had no conflicts or grievances with Zhong Yun.


    Chen Changqing exined, ¡°Grandfather Zhong Lu died at the hands of Lord


    Cao Shun, so the Zhong Family has always bore a grudge against our Divine


    Sword Academy. And since you, Hall Master, inherited Lord Cao Shun¡¯s legacy, Zhong Yun might harbor ill will towards you.¡± Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    Zhong Yun¡¯s grandfather was killed by Cao Shun?


    ¡°So, Hall Master, you must be careful of Zhong Yun and the master experts of the Zhong Family,¡± Chen Changqing said. ¡°Aside from Zhong Yun, there are quite a number of experts from the Zhong Family in the Tiandou Academy.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I know,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied. He then saw off Chen Changqing, He


    Le, and the other three outside Tiandou Imperial City and gave each of them a Supreme Treasure Longsword.


    Once the figures of Chen Changqing and hispanions disappeared into the sky, Yang Xiaotian turned back, not to his manor, but to the Tiandou Academy, and made his way directly to the Book Pavilion.


    ording to the rules, the top ten from the Tiandou Academy¡¯s enrollment assessment were allowed to enter the Book Pavilion and peruse any of the Cultivation Technique Manuals and various Divine Skills at their leisure.


    After entering the Book Pavilion, while Yang Xiaotian was flipping through some Divine Skills Manuals on the third floor, he overheard a corner conversation among disciples.


    ¡°I heard thatst night there was a huge dispute among the upper echelons of the academy. The vice-chancellor argued that the academy should devote all its resources to cultivating Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°But the Great Elder and the Third Elder, along with many others, believed that Guo Wei and Lin Xiao¡¯s Martial Souls were superior to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s. They are expected to reach the Divine Spirit Realm in the future and should be the ones to receive the academy¡¯s full support, rather than wasting resources on Yang Xiaotian. ¡±


    ¡°What happened in the end?¡±


    ¡°In the end, the Great Elder proposed that among the three, whoever breaks through to the Martial Ancestor Realm first should receive the full support of the academy¡¯s resources.¡±


    ¡°In the past, the academy always devoted resources to cultivate the number one recruit. It seems the Great Elder is targeting Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°Shh!¡±


    Listening to the corner whisperings, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback¡ªthere was such a thing?


    Although it was just a proposal from Zhong Yun that whoever broke through to the Martial Ancestor Realm first would receive full support, who didn¡¯t know that Guo Wei and Lin Xiao were both at the seventh level of the Martial King Realm?


    And he was only at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm. Normally, Guo Wei and Lin Xiao would definitely break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm faster.


    Thus, Zhong Yun¡¯s proposal was clearly in favor of Guo Wei and the others.


    He wasn¡¯t interested in the resources of the Tiandou Academy. He entered Tiandou Academy more to obtain the Controlling Dragon Sword and to use the academy as a tform to join the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    But if Zhong Yun was convinced that Guo Wei and Lin Xiao would break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm faster,


    Then he would let Zhong Yun open his eyes wide and see who would actually break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm first..

    You


    Trantor: 549690339


    Thinking of the Controlling Dragon Sword, Yang Xiaotian went to seek out Huang Yiqing, the head teacher of first-grade ss one.


    He was now a student of ss one, grade one at the Tiandou Academy.


    When Huang Yiqing saw it was Yang Xiaotian, he was very polite and friendly, after all, Yang Xiaotian was the top scorer in this term¡¯s assessment. But upon hearing Yang Xiaotian inquire about how toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, Huang Yiqing was taken aback, not expecting Yang Xiaotian to ask about this on his first visit.


    Before Huang Yiqing could even open his mouth, a student by his side sneered, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think the Controlling Dragon Sword is something you canprehend just because you want to?¡±


    The tone was unkind and unfriendly towards Yang Xiaotian.


    This student was none other than Zhong Lei of the Zhong Family.


    Zhong Lei was also a student in first-grade ss one, however, he was an old student who had passed the enrollment assessment of the previous term at Tiandou Academy.


    ording to the rules of the Tiandou Academy, only those who had broken through to the Martial Ancestor realm could be promoted to the second grade, so Zhong Lei, currently at the ninth level of Martial King realm, was still a first-grade student.


    Zhong Lei was not simple; he was second in thest enrollment assessment of Tiandou Academy and in terms of talent, no less exceptional than Xiao Yong and his peers.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at him.


    Huang Yiqing cleared his throat and introduced to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, this is Zhong Lei, our ss monitor. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask him.¡±


    Zhong Lei?


    A disciple of the Zhong Family?


    Yang Xiaotian came to a realization.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian looking over, Zhong Lei stood up with an arrogant demeanor, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t think you are incredible just because you took first ce in this term¡¯s enrollment assessment. Youe here with delusions ofprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword.¡±


    ¡°Among the thousands of students at Tiandou Academy, there¡¯s a long line of talented disciples who wish toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword. It¡¯s not your turn yet.¡±


    Seeing that the atmosphere was turning sour, Huang Yiqing hurriedly smoothed things over, ¡°Xiaotian, the Controlling Dragon Sword is a Heavenly


    Sword. Indeed, there are extremely many disciples who wish toprehend it. The academy has set a rule that only the top ten students in the grade can attempt toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.¡± Saying this, he took out a student handbook for Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You should read more about the academy¡¯s rules when you get back.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian gave Zhong Lei a cold look and took the student handbook from Huang Yiqing.


    Then, Huang Yiqing also issued Yang Xiaotian the academy¡¯s battle robe and various other items.


    As Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, Zhong Lei humphed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯d better obediently follow the academy¡¯s rules. I am the ss monitor now. If you don¡¯t abide by the rules, I won¡¯t hesitate to teach you a lesson!¡± ¡°You think you can?¡± Yang Xiaotian turned his head back.


    Instantly, Zhong Lei¡¯s whole body crackled with lightning, and the aura of a ninth-level Martial King burst forth, locking onto Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Just because I can! Even if you are the top scorer in this term¡¯s enrollment assessment, it would take me only one hand to teach you a lesson!¡±


    Huang Yiqing quickly stepped between them and said with an awkward smile, ¡°Gentlemen, please don¡¯t start a fight in my small courtyard. It can¡¯t withstand the turmoil. If you want topete, you can do it during the monthly assessment. ¡±


    Zhong Lei withdrew his aura, looking down at Yang Xiaotian from his lofty position, ¡°Fine, we¡¯llpete during the monthly exam, Yang Xiaotian, do you dare?¡±


    ¡°What is there to be afraid of?¡± Yang Xiaotian nced contemptuously at him and walked away.


    That contemptuous look from Yang Xiaotian made Zhong Lei¡¯s face darken. He stared coldly at the departing figure of Yang Xiaotian, nning to give him a good stretching during the monthly exam a monthter.


    As a student of Tiandou Academy, the academy had arranged amodation for Yang Xiaotian. Every student had their own independent small courtyard, and Yang Xiaotian, as the top scorer of this term¡¯s enrollment assessment, was entitled to a muchrger yard than other students. Moreover, the yard was filled with abundant spiritual energy and nted with many spirit flowers and objects that were beneficial for cultivation.


    After leaving, Yang Xiaotian checked out the amodation arranged for him by the academy but didn¡¯t stay long before returning to his own residence.


    However, just as he was about to walk out of the academy¡¯s main gate, he encountered Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong.


    Three people were walking together, arm in arm, appearing to enjoy their conversation.


    However, aside from the trio, there was another Inner Court Student from Tiandou Academy. This student had sword-like eyebrows and a rosy nose, fair skin, somewhat frail, with Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong following behind him.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Upon recognizing it was Yang Xiaotian, the faces of Guo Wei and hispanions suddenly turned cold.


    ¡°So, you¡¯re Yang Xiaotian!¡± The Inner Court Student examined Yang Xiaotian with a scrutinizing gaze.


    Guo Wei said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this is our Brother He Qingzhe from Tiandou Academy¡¯s Inner Court. Brother He Qingzhe has been chosen by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect and will surely enter it in the future. Aren¡¯t you going to pay your respects?¡±


    ¡°Pay respects?¡± Yang Xiaotian scoffed, staring at He Qingzhe, ¡°Was it you who sent people to kidnap my sister back then ?¡±


    He Qingzhe had originallye from Wuding Academy and was acquainted with Guo Wei, which was no surprise to Yang Xiaotian.


    Facing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s usation, He Qingzhe looked down at him, ¡®What if it was, what if it wasn¡¯t?¡±


    ¡°If it was¡­ You deserve to die!¡± Yang Xiaotian said coolly, looking at the other party.


    Upon hearing this, He Qingzhe¡¯s eyes became sharp as swords, ¡°Boy, believe it or not, I could crush you to death right here!¡± He continued, ¡°Do you think I wouldn¡¯t dare to kill you just because your sister is from the True Dragon Divine Sect?¡±


    ¡°Even if I crush you now, the True Dragon Divine Sect can do nothing about it!¡± As he spoke, his aura surged.


    Just as He Qingzhe was about to make a move, suddenly, another Inner Court Student approached. This student was burly and his aura was astonishing.


    Seeing this Inner Court Student, He Qingzhe¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°Chen Jun!¡±


    Chen Jun, He Qingzhe, and Tian Meiling were touted as the three great prodigy disciples of Tiandou Academy¡¯s Inner Court.


    Back then, Chen Jun had alsoe from Divine Sword Academy and was always at odds with He Qingzhe.


    Chen Jun looked disdainfully at He Qingzhe, ¡°He Qingzhe, you seem to be regressing the longer you live. It¡¯s shameful for an Inner Court Student like you to even think about attacking a first-year freshman. Don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡±


    He Qingzhe snorted coldly, ¡°Chen Jun, don¡¯t think I¡¯m afraid of you. Once Iprehend the Sword Tower, I¡¯ll make you regret this!¡± After speaking, he left with Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong.


    After He Qingzhe and his group had left, Chen Jun nced at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, right? Consider this a favor because we¡¯re both from Divine Sword Academy. I won¡¯t help you again in the future. You better watch yourself.¡±


    ¡°Also, now that you¡¯re in Tiandou Academy, it¡¯s best not to act too arrogantly, otherwise, no one can protect you!¡± With that, he turned to leave.


    Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°Chen Jun, right? It seems like I didn¡¯t ask for your meddling.¡±


    ¡°And, don¡¯t talk to me in that preachy tone again, or else, even if you¡¯re from Divine Sword Academy, I¡¯ll still send you packing.¡±


    After saying this, Yang Xiaotian left.


    Send me packing? Chen Jun stopped in his tracks, watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure with annoyance. He¡¯d heard that this Yang Xiaotian was quite arrogant, and it sure seemed to be true.


    If that¡¯s the case, kid, even if youe crying to me in the future, I won¡¯t meddle in your affairs again.


    To hell with whether you live or die!


    After He Qingzhe and his group left, they headed toward the Sword Tower.


    Guo Wei said, ¡°Chen Jun is a big problem. With him looking out for Yang


    Xiaotian, it will be tough to deal with Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Mentioning Chen Jun, He Qingzhe¡¯s eyes were filled with a murderous light, ¡°Chen Jun won¡¯t be arrogant for long. I¡¯ll soon fullyprehend the Sword Tower¡¯s Sword Dao.. Once I deal with Chen Jun, I¡¯ll slowly crush Yang Xiaotian to death!¡±

 Chapter 151: Comprehending the Sword Tower

    Chapter 151: Comprehending the Sword Tower


    Trantor: 549690339


    Before long, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, and several others arrived at the Sword Tower.


    The Sword Tower is one of Tiandou Academy¡¯s inheritances of Sword Dao.


    The Controlling Dragon Sword can only beprehended by the top ten students of each grade, but every student mayprehend the Sword Tower.


    When He Qingzhe and the others reached the Sword Tower, they saw that it was already surrounded by academy students.


    ¡°Senior Brother He!¡±


    Seeing that it was He Qingzhe, the students bowed politely.


    He Qingzhe nodded to everyone and stood with Guo Wei and the others in front of the tower gate of Sword Tower.


    The Sword Tower had a total of eighteen floors, soaring into the sky.


    Each level contained a profound Sword Dao Supreme Divine Power.


    However, to enter andprehend the Sword Dao of each level, one must first open the gate of that floor, and it has to be done using the power of one¡¯s Sword Qi.


    The gates seem simple, but are not easy to open. Each gate encapstes the profound mysteries of the Supreme Sword Dao. Without a certain level ofprehension of Sword Dao, it¡¯s simply impossible to budge the gate.


    ¡°Three junior brothers, I¡¯ll go up first,¡± He Qingzhe said. He stepped forward, his palm surged with Sword Qi, and with a light imprint on the gate, the sword light of the gate flickered and slowly opened.


    He Qingzhe dashed inside.


    Once He Qingzhe had entered, the gate returned to its closed state.


    Guo Wei stepped forward, his True Yuan circting throughout his body. His fingers like swords, he struck fiercely and all at once, ten streams of Sword Qi sted on the gate of each level.


    The sword light of the gate flickered, and after a while, it finally opened slowly.


    Clearly, it was much harder for Guo Wei to open the gate than for He Qingzhe.


    Seeing the gate open, Guo Wei let out a sigh of relief and stepped inside.


    Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong hesitated for a moment before they, too, came forward and used their Sword Qi to open it. However, Lin Xiao might have been born with a superior Divine Body and was skilled in saber techniques, but when it came to Sword Dao, he was much less proficient than Guo Wei; hence, it took him three attempts to barely open the gate.


    Xiao Yong also managed to open it after three attempts.


    While Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and others entered the first level of the Sword Tower toprehend Sword Dao, Yang Xiaotian returned to his own residence and quickly finished reading the academy handbook given to him by Huang Yiqing, thereby fully understanding the rules of Tiandou Academy.


    Tiandou Academy was much freerpared to his previous Divine Sword Academy. There was no requirement for students to attend sses. Every day, teachers would lecture on swordsmanship, saber techniques, fist methods, palm techniques, and even body techniques and alchemy.


    Students could choose what they liked to listen to.


    If they chose not to attend, they could cultivate freely.


    However, the academy had monthly examinations, and if one ranked in thest three ces for three consecutive months, they would be expelled.


    Every semester, the content of the monthly exam for each grade was written in the handbook, informing students which areas they should focus their cultivation on.


    In terms of the Controlling Dragon Sword, only those within the top ten of their grade could seek toprehend it.


    After reaching the top ten, each couldprehend it for ten days.


    Besides being in the top ten toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, there was actually another way to ess it.


    That was toprehend the entire Sword Tower.


    With its eighteen floors, the Sword Tower had a Supreme Divine Sword Technique on each. If one couldpletelyprehend all the Divine Abilities in the eighteen floors of Sword Techniques, they would be permitted toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    Moreover, this meant one couldprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword at any time, permanently, unlike the ten-day limit for those within the top ten.


    However, the Sword Tower has stood to this day, and no one has been able to fullyprehend all eighteen floors.


    Even the founder of Tiandou Academy and all the sessive deans have been unable to fullyprehend the eighteen levels of the Sword Tower.


    The Sword Tower was left by a mysterious swordsman.


    Legend has it that at the final level, there lies a sword and the Supreme Sword Dao left by the mysterious swordsman.


    As to which sword it was, no one knew.


    ¡°Sword Tower,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.


    No one couldprehend all eighteen levels?


    You should know, the history of Tiandou Academy is even longer than that of Divine Sword Academy. Yet, over all these years, no student has been able to fullyprehend the eighteen levels of the Sword Tower.


    Tiandou Academy does notck Sword Dao geniuses among its students, yet still, no one has managed toprehend all eighteen levels. It seems that the


    Sword Dao within the Sword Tower¡¯s eighteen levels is exceptionally profound.


    This, on the contrary, piqued Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest.


    He had been able toprehend sword techniques like the


    Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, so although the sword techniques of the Sword Tower were profound, he should be able toprehend them too, he thought.


    However, it was already approaching dusk, so he decided to enter the Sword Tower tomorrow.


    Yang Xiaotian began to practice the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique in the courtvard.


    He persisted in practicing the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique every day. Now, as his strength progressed, he had mastered up to the fourteenth move.


    ¡°Sword Rise Earth Treasury!¡± As Yang Xiaotian wielded the


    Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, numerous streaks of sword Qi suddenly rose from the ground of the courtyard!


    No, to be precise, they were rising from the deepest part of the ground beneath the courtyard!


    The sight of sword Qi emerging from the deepest part of the ground was awe-inspiring.


    This was precisely the fourteenth move of the Heaven -Prating Sword


    Technique, ¡°Sword Rise Earth Treasury.¡±


    If this move were cultivated to its peak, with one strike, sword Qi would erupt from the earth¡¯s deepest parts, boundless and incessant, as ifing from hell, and capable of engulfing the surface for thousands of miles around.


    The thought of sword Qi spurting from deep underground and submerging thousands of miles was terrifying.


    Untilte into the night, Yang Xiaotian stopped practicing his swordsmanship and began to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The next day, as Yang Xiaotian arrived at Tiandou Academy and was about to enter the Sword Tower toprehend swordsmanship, a startling surge of sword Qi burst towards the sky from the Sword Tower, followed by several more streaks.


    Clearly, this was the scene of someoneprehending a Supreme Sword Technique, just like when he hadprehended the Stone Sword at Divine Sword Academy.


    Soon, the academy was in an uproar.


    ¡°It¡¯s Guo Wei, Guo Wei hasprehended the Supreme Sword Technique of the first level of the Sword Tower!¡±


    ¡°What, Guo Wei only entered the Sword Tower yesterday afternoon and has nowprehended the first level? It hasn¡¯t even been a day! Guo Wei¡¯s Sword Dao talent is indeed terrifying! I remember it took the academy head three days toprehend the first level of the Sword Tower!¡±


    Not long after, the students of the academy hurried around once again, excitedly shouting, ¡°Guo Wei has condensed a Sword Heart!¡± Upon hearing the news, the academy¡¯s upper echelons were all shaken.


    Sword Heart!


    Some geniuses with astounding Sword Dao talent, whenprehending sword techniques, would condense a Sword Heart. Once one possessed a Sword Heart, future sword technique cultivation andprehension would advance by leaps and bounds.


    Although there were thousands of students in Tiandou Academy, none had condensed a Sword Heart so far.


    That¡¯s why the upper echelons of Tiandou Academy were so moved.


    Zhong Yun burst into excitedughter upon learning the news, ¡°Headmaster, I told you my judgment wouldn¡¯t be wrong. Guo Wei¡¯s Sword Dao talent is against heaven. Previously he gained recognition as the master of the Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword, and now he has condensed a Sword Heart. Moreover, he possesses a top-notch twelfth-grade Martial Soul. Such a genius appears once in ten thousand years; we should use all the resources at our disposal to nurture him!¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, how can he bepared with Guo Wei!¡±


    Xie Hong also nodded happily, very excited; he certainly understood what condensing a Sword Heart meant.


    Zhong Yun said with a delighted smile, ¡°I don¡¯t think we should wait for Guo Wei to break through to Martial Ancestor before deciding. Let¡¯s decide now to devote all the academy¡¯s resources to nurturing Guo Wei.¡±


    Fan Riquan, who had originally been hopeful about Yang Xiaotian, was now silent.


    Xie Hong said with augh, ¡°Good, when Guo Weies out of the Sword


    Tower, I¡¯ll announce this news.¡±


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian sted open the gate of the Sword Tower with his sword Qi and walked into the Sword Tower, beginning toprehend its sword techniques..

 Chapter 152: Awaking the Power of Sword Tower

    Chapter 152: Awaking the Power of Sword Tower


    Trantor: 549690339


    The space inside the Sword Tower was vast.


    In the center of the tower stood a Sword Wall.


    Carved on the Sword Wall was a figure of a swordsman, sword in hand.


    Beyond this, there was nothing else on the Sword Wall.


    And surrounding the Sword Wall were circr Formation Maps, each about one square meter in size.


    The seats around the Formation Maps were already filled with students from the academy.


    There must¡¯ve been several hundreds of them.


    Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong were there, but Guo Wei, havingprehended the Supreme Swordsmanship Divine Ability of the firstyer of the Sword Wall, had already entered the secondyer of the Sword Tower to continue his contemtion.


    When Yang Xiaotian entered, everyone turned their gaze towards him.


    Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong naturally did not look pleased to see Xiaotian.


    A studentughed and said, ¡°Xiaotian, you¡¯re not hoping to try your luck here after seeing Junior Brother Guo Weiprehend the ultimate swordsman divine skills and condense a Sword Heart, are you?¡±


    Another studentughed, ¡°Luck isn¡¯t so easily encountered. Some people have contemted for years without being able to fullyprehend the swordsman divine ability of the firstyer.¡±


    ¡°As for Sword Heart, that¡¯s even more like a fool¡¯s dream.¡±


    These two were senior students in the first-year ss of the academy, but they were not in Xiaotian¡¯s ss. They were in the second ss along with Guo Wei and also came from Wuding Academy. They were among the top ten in thest enrollment assessment of Tiandou Academy.


    One was called Li Yang, and the other Liu Zeren.


    Many attendees who¡¯d previously belonged to Wuding Academy or War God Academy just chuckled.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Li Yang, Liu Zeren, and others, his eyes sharp as swords, which promptly silenced theughter of Li Yang, Liu Zeren, and others who felt as if their hearts were pierced by an invisible Sword Qi.


    Since the Formation Map seats were nearly all taken, only a few seats in the corner were empty. Xiaotian took a seat in one of the empty spots in the corner.


    Generally speaking, the closer to the Sword Wall, the better the effect of the contemtion. However, for Xiaotian, it was all the same no matter where he sat.


    Sitting at the Formation Map, Xiaotian¡¯s gaze moved past the other students andnded on the Sword Wall.


    To Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, the sword-bearing swordsman on the Sword Wall soon began to change.


    The swordsman on the Sword Wall leapt out from within and started to disy the art of swordsmanship above the firstyer of the Sword Tower.


    Li Yang, who had been intimidated by Xiaotian¡¯s look, saw Xiaotian contemting the Sword Wall and sneered with annoyance, ¡°Xiaotian, aren¡¯t you also known as a Sword Dao Genius? If you have the ability, like Junior Brother Guo Wei,prehend the Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power of the firstyer within a day.¡±


    Xiaotian ignored Li Yang and the surrounding crowd, his sights solely on the Sword Wall, only on the sword-bearing swordsman.


    In the eyes of people like Li Yang, the Sword Wall didn¡¯t change, but to Xiaotian, the sword techniques performed by the swordsman became faster and faster.


    Each move was exquisitely brilliant.


    The Sword Qi¡¯s conception immersed Xiaotian deeply.


    Seeing that Xiaotian paid him no mind, but stared intently up at the empty space, Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but scoff, ¡°Putting on a show.¡±


    Time passed by.


    The sword of the Swords Wall¡¯s swordsman became increasingly fast.


    Xiaotian focusedpletely, watching the sword¡¯s movements and feeling the opponent¡¯s Sword Qi.


    In Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, the opponent¡¯s sword seemed to take on a life of its own, as if it breathed and pulsed with vitality.


    And he felt as if he¡¯d be that swordsman, wielding that sword and performing the techniques.


    Starting from the very first move.


    As Xiaotian performed up to thest move, suddenly, the normally quiet firstyer of the Sword Wall emitted a humming sound.


    At first, the humming of the Sword Wall was very faint, almost inaudible. Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and the others did not think much of it, but as the humming from the Sword Wall grew louder and louder, everyone was astounded.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡±


    ¡°Why is the Sword Wall making noise?¡±


    Many students were puzzled and uncertain.


    When Guo Wei hadprehended the Sword Wall earlier, there had been no such sign or sound, so they were at a loss.


    Even when He Qingzhe and others had fullyprehended the firstyer of the Sword Wall, there had been no such phenomenon.


    ¡°Could it be that someone hasprehended the Sword Wall again?¡± one student boldly spected.


    People scanned the crowd around them.


    Generally speaking, anyone who hadprehended the Swordsmanship Divine Ability of the Sword Wall would emit a unique Sword Qi all over their body.


    But no one appeared unusual.


    Suddenly, the buzzing sound from the Sword Wall ceased.


    Silence fell.


    Just when everyone¡¯s tension started to rx, all of a sudden, the previously silent Sword Wall burst forth with an intense light of the sword.


    It was as if there had been a sudden explosion, startling everyone.


    ¡°How can this be?!¡± Seeing the Sword Wall spurting out such intense sword light, everyone was shocked and bewildered.


    This was a phenomenon never seen before.


    The Sword Tower had stood tall to date, and never had it been heard that the Sword Wall would undergo such changes.


    Just as everyone was taken aback, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian, who had been motionless, erupted with a terrifying sword light from his body.


    The sword light, exactly the same as that of the Sword Wall.


    The students sitting next to Yang Xiaotian scrambled back in panic. ¡°It¡¯s Yang Xiaotian!¡± ¡°Yang Xiaotian hasprehended the Supreme Divine Power of the Sword Wall!¡±


    Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, Li Yang, Liu Zeren were all greatly shaken.


    In less than a day, Junior Brother Guo Wei hadprehended the firstyer¡¯s Ultimate Divine Power of the Sword Wall, which was already a miracle, but Yang Xiaotian? He had been in the Sword Tower for less than an hour!


    As Lin Xiao and the others wore expressions of disbelief and shock, suddenly, the Sword Wall and Yang Xiaotian once more ejected an astonishing sword light. The intensity of the sword light was such that it prated the space within the Sword Tower and struck high above the Sword Tower.


    The entire Sword Tower began to tremble.


    Guo Wei, who had entered the secondyer and was about toprehend its Sword Wall, was so frightened by the shaking of the Sword Tower that he stopped.


    Whether it was Guo Wei or other students, all were astounded and came to a halt.


    Even He Qingzhe, who had reached the fourteenthyer, stopped in his tracks.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± He Qingzhe jumped to his feet, staring at the Sword Tower in astonishment. He had never encountered such a situation in all his years of studying the Sword Tower.


    Could it be that someone was attacking the Sword Tower?


    No, that wasn¡¯t it!


    It wasn¡¯t an attack on the Sword Tower.


    It was the power of the Sword Tower!


    As the Sword Force of the Sword Tower continued to strengthen, the entire Sword Tower emitted sword light.


    Countless students and teachers at Tiandou Academy were rmed.


    In the main hall, Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, and others were discussing matters of the Secret Realm trial when the erupting sword light power from the Sword Tower caused everyone to stop.


    ¡°Such powerful Sword Force!¡±


    Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the others quickly stepped out of the main hall and looked towards the direction of the Sword Tower. Upon seeing the surging sword light above the Sword Tower, they all had their mouths agape.


    ¡°Someone has awakened the power of the Sword Tower!¡± Zhong Yun eximed in rm, ¡°Who is it?!¡±


    ¡®Quick, check who has awakened the power of the Sword Tower!¡± Xie Hongmanded an Elder beside him urgently, but no sooner had he finished speaking that he could not wait any longer and flew up into the sky, heading swiftly towards the Sword Tower.


    Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui all took to the air and rapidly followed behind Xie Hong.


    Meanwhile, inside the firstyer of the Sword Tower, Yang Xiaotian, bathed in the sword light, had streams of Sword Qi radiating from his heart. These streams of Sword Qi were dazzlingly brilliant.


    Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and the others were wide-eyed.


    ¡°Sword Heart!¡±

 Chapter 153 - 153 Strongest Sword Heart

    Chapter 153: Strongest Sword Heart


    Trantor: 549690339


    That¡¯s right!


    Yang Xiaotian. too. condensed Oilt a Sword Heart-


    Guo Wei¡¯s enlightenment of the firstyer of the Sword Wall in the Sword Tower and his subsequent formation of a Sword Heart shocked Tiandou Academy.


    And now, Yang Xiaotian had done the same!


    While it took Guo Wei nearly a day, Yang Xiaotian aplished it in less than an hour!


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Heart, Li Yang and Liu Zeren were both utterly incredulous, and it seemed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Heart might even be stronger than Guo Wei¡¯s.


    A Sword Heart can indeed vary in strength.


    The stronger the Sword Heart, the more powerful theprehension of Sword Dao and Swordsmanship in the future.


    At this moment, both the Sword Wall and the sword radiance emanating from Yang Xiaotian grew increasingly resplendent.


    The power of the Sword Tower grew stronger and stronger.


    All the students inside the tower felt the intensifying power of the Sword Tower and were struck with fear, and as the power continued to grow, an astonishing sword pressure from the Sword Tower enveloped the tower¡¯s internal space, forcing student after student to kneel under the overwhelming pressure.


    Even Guo Wei, who had formed a Sword Heart, was pressured to kneel by the sword force.


    Even He Qingzhe, one of Tiandou Academy¡¯s top three geniuses, was forced to bend continuously under the strain.


    ¡°Stand up for me!¡± He Qingzhe on the fourteenth floor erupted with astonishing Sword Qi as his True Yuan surged wildly. Astonishingly, divine figures began to emerge around him.


    But it was useless!


    No matter how astonishing his Sword Qi, no matter how wildly his True Yuan circted, he could not counter the pressure and was continuously forced to bend over by the sword pressure from the Sword Tower.


    Even the divine figures surrounding He Qjngzhe flickered under the sword pressure, like candles in the wind.


    ¡°I am the son of the divine, no one can make me kneel!¡± He Qingzhe roared again, his face flushing red as he insanely activated the Divine¡¯s Techniques, and divine light surged from his body as he strained to straighten his back.


    However, just as he was about to stand erect, suddenly, an even more powerful sword pressure, like the Ancient Divine Mountain, bore down on him.


    Ping!


    Immediately, He Qingzhe was pressured directly onto his knees.


    And it didn¡¯t stop there; the sword pressure continued to bombard him.


    In the end, He Qingzhe was forced to lie prostrate on the fourteenth floor of the Sword Tower.


    In the presence of the supreme sword pressure of the Sword Tower, the son of the divine was of no use, all were smashed to the ground.


    Inside the entire Sword Tower, only Yang Xiaotian remained standing.


    Yang Xiaotian likewise felt the boundless sword pressure of the Sword Tower, but as the boundless sword pressure bore down, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Heart bloomed withyer uponyer of light. It actually withstood the boundless sword pressure of the Sword Tower.


    The Sword Tower hummed incessantly, its light piercing the heavens.


    The group of students originally around the Sword Tower were shaken to retreat repeatedly by the power of the Tower.


    Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, and others who rushed over felt the power of the Sword Tower from a distance and were extremely astounded.


    The group hastened their steps.


    Finally, they arrived at the dense forest of the Sword Tower.


    But even Xie Hong and the others did not dare to approach the Sword Tower at this time.


    ¡°What exactly is going on? Who has awakened the power of the Sword Tower?¡± Xie Hong grabbed a nearby student and demanded.


    The student, his arm in pain from the grip, and seeing it was Xie Hong and the others, trembled and said he did not know.


    It¡¯s no wonder Xie Hong was so excited and lost hisposure; after all, the awakening of the Sword Tower¡¯s power was something that had never happened before.


    Realizing his ownpse in behavior, Xie Hong let go of the student. He took a deep breath and attempted to walk towards the entrance of the Sword Tower. However, the Sword Tower was in a state of rampage, with the Sword Force being limitless, making it impossible for Xie Hong to approach the entrance.


    After persisting for a while, the sword light of the Sword Tower finally began to retract, and its sword might gradually dissipated.


    Everything calmed down.


    Inside the tower, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, and othersy on the ground, all of them pale as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.


    Outside the tower, Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and others, seeing that the Sword Tower had finally settled, burst open the tower¡¯s gate and rushed into the Sword Tower without a second thought.


    As soon as Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the rest entered the firstyer of the Sword Tower, they saw the surging sword wall and Yang Xiaotian bathed in sword light.


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian?!¡± Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the others could not believe their eyes.


    They found it hard to believe that it was Yang Xiaotian who had wakened the power of the Sword Tower.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, near his heart, was still emitting strands of sword light.


    The sword light was not intense, but it was exceptionally eye-catching.


    ¡°Sword Heart!¡± Zhong Yun stammered, his expression, along with Xie Hong¡¯s, shook dramatically.


    After the shock, Fan Riquan looked at Yang Xiaotian, hisughter filled with excitement, ¡°Good! In less than an hour, you haveprehended the Sword Tower¡¯s firstyer¡¯s Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power! And you have even formed a Sword Heart! Genius! An unparalleled Sword Dao Genius!¡± Although Xie Hong was equally thrilled, he felt more embarrassed.


    Just an hour ago, he had announced to everyone his decision to devote all resources to nurturing Guo Wei.


    But what about now?


    Not even an hour had passed, and Yang Xiaotian had alreadyprehended the firstyer Sword Wall and also formed a Sword Heart!


    Zhong Yun, however, was pressing Yang Xiaotian with his gaze, ¡°Yang


    Xiaotian, how did you awaken the power of the Sword Tower?¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian saw that Zhong Yun was interrogating him with an imposing tone, he replied calmly, ¡°That question, you should ask the Sword


    Tower.¡±


    Ask the Sword Tower?


    Zhong Yun¡¯s eyes turned frosty, and he said sternly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I am asking you a question and you dare to evade me? This is insubordination, do you believe I can punish you for your crime?¡±


    ¡°Punish me for my crime?¡± Yang Xiaotianrs eyes turned cold, ¡®Great Elder holds such authority, wanting to punish whomever you choose.¡±


    Seeing the situation turning tense, Xie Hong approached with a friendly smile, ¡°Xiaotian, we mean no harm. The Sword Tower is one of our academy¡¯s most important inheritances. Since you awakened its power, we just want to understand the reason, that¡¯s all.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, indicating he didn¡¯t know.


    Seeing this, Xie Hong, feeling helpless, eventually left the Sword Tower with


    Fan Riquan, Zhong Yun, and others.


    After Xie Hong and the others left, Yang Xiaotian used the Supreme Swordsmanship Divine Ability he hadprehended from the firstyer Sword Wall to open the secondyer¡¯s gate and entered the second level.


    Actually, he had some idea of why he was able to awaken the power of the Sword Tower because he had not formed an ordinary Sword Heart. Some Sword Hearts are stronger than others, and what he had formed was the strongest kind, the Nine-Colored Sword Heart!


    It was precisely because he had formed the Nine -Colored Sword Heart that he had been able to awaken the power of the Sword Tower.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian reached the secondyer toprehend its swordsmanship, Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the others returned to the great hall to discuss the matters concerning Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei.


    Fan Riquan insisted that they should devote all resources to nurturing Yang Xiaotian. However, Zhong Yun disagreed, ¡°That doesn¡¯t seem appropriate.


    Although Yang Xiaotian also formed a Sword Heart, Guo Wei also formed a


    Sword Heart, and moreover, it was Guo Wei who formed it first!¡±


    Fan Riquan¡¯s face darkened when he saw Zhong Yun still obstructing and targeting Yang Xiaotian even at this point, ¡°Zhong Yun, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that Cao Shun killed your grandfather years ago, and Yang Xiaotian came into his inheritance, which is why you are against him at every turn!¡±


    Zhong Yun¡¯s face turned red as he was about to speak, but Xie Hong shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s no need for both of you to argue. How about this, from now on, the academy will devote resources to nurture both Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei.¡±


    Then, Xie Hong continued, ¡°Given Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent, we should focus on cultivating his Sword Dao.¡± He then addressed Fan Riquan, ¡°Riquan, among us, you have the highest attainment in Sword Dao. From now on, you will personally mentor Xiaotian..¡±

    Chapter 154: The Return of Sword Tower¡¯s Power to the Human Realm


    Trantor: 549690339


    Fan Riquan heard the words and happily nodded, ¡°Good! I will devote all my efforts to teaching Xiaotian.¡±


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the second floor, and saw that at its center was also a Sword Wall.


    The Sword Wall on the second floor was asrge as the one on the first floor.


    However, unlike the first floor¡¯s Sword Wall, the second floor¡¯s Sword Wall depicted two swordsmen, each wielding a sword.


    The two swordsmen faced each other with their swords, seemingly engaged inbat.


    When Yang Xiaotian stepped onto the second floor of the Sword Tower, nearly a hundred students were still fiercely specting about who had awakened the power of the Sword Tower just before.


    Since no one had gone down to the first floor at that time, they were unaware of the events that had urred there.


    Guo Wei noticed Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotianing up from the first floor, Guo Wei¡¯s face fell after his initial shock.


    Clearly, Yang Xiaotian had alsoprehended the Sword Wall on the first floor, because only by doing so could one open the door to the second floor.


    However, when he had ascended to the second floor, Yang Xiaotian had not yet begun toprehend the first floor¡¯s Sword Wall, and now, in less than an hour since he¡¯de to the second floor, Yang Xiaotian had alreadyprehended it!


    How was that possible?!


    Even the founding master of Tiandou Academy had taken over four hours toprehend the first floor¡¯s Sword Wall back in the day.


    Guo Wei was astonished and full of doubts.


    At this time, the other students on the second floor also saw Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Yang Xiaotian has actuallyprehended the Sword Wall on the first floor?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so surprising aboutprehending the Sword Wall on the first floor?


    Haven¡¯t we done the same?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true,prehending the Sword Wall on the first floor is nothing special, it¡¯s not like forming a Sword Heart.¡±


    Many students murmured among themselves.


    Hearing this, Guo Wei¡¯s mood improved, for as those students had said, even if Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the Sword Wall on the first floor, it meant nothing.


    As long as Yang Xiaotian had not formed a Sword Heart,prehending the Sword Wall no matter how quickly was useless.


    Yang Xiaotian paid no attention to the murmurs of the other students and sat down at a Formation Map seat.


    Since there were less than a hundred students contemting swordsmanship on the second floor, there were many empty seats, so Yang Xiaotian did not need to sit in a corner.


    After sitting down, he blocked out the surrounding noise and his gaze settled on the Sword Wall.


    The two swordsmen depicted on the Sword Wall, one male and one female, began to change in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, just as when he hadprehended the first floor¡¯s Sword Wall. Soon, the two figures leapt out from the Sword Wall and started performing swordsmanship.


    The Swordsmanship Divine Ability on the second floor was undoubtedly more exquisite and profound than the first floor¡¯s.


    The moves of the two swordfighters seemed simple at a nce, but they were, in fact, incrediblyplex with over a dozen variations in each gesture and stroke.


    Towards the end, the variations in their swordy became even more numerous, with over twenty changes within a single move.


    Furthermore, by the end, their moves were infused with the power of Heaven and Earth.


    Nearly half an hour passed before the twopleted their demonstration of swordsmanship.


    Yang Xiaotian closed his eyes and began to recall the swordsmanship disyed by the two figures.


    He remembered it from beginning to end, just once through.


    After watching the swordsmanship of the two just once, Yang Xiaotian had alreadypletely memorized their techniques.


    However, the varying techniques and many subtleties, even for Yang Xiaotian, were impossible to fullyprehend on the first try.


    So, he fixed his gaze back onto the Sword Wall and started to watch for a second time, as the two swordfighters performed their swordsmanship again.


    Time trickled by, moment by moment.


    Guo Wei and the second level students also ceased their discussions, took their ces on the Formation Map, and began toprehend the Sword Wall.


    Soon, Guo Wei entered a state of self-forgetfulness.


    In his eyes, the Sword Wall gradually changed, and just like Yang Xiaotian, two swordsmen began to leap out of the Sword Wall, executing their sword techniques.


    Watching the two swordsmen¡¯s swordsmanship, Guo Wei felt a surge of joy in his heart. As expected, after obtaining the Sword Heart, his speed ofprehending the Sword Wall had quickened.


    This time, he was certain that he couldprehend the sword techniques of the second level Sword Wall before Yang Xiaotian.


    After watching for the second time, Xiaotian closed his eyes again, recalling the sword techniques of the two swordsmen from the Sword Wall.


    This time, his understanding deepened by a few more degrees.


    The parts that were previously unclear to him had now be clear.


    However, thest few moves still had some aspects that he couldn¡¯t fully integrate.


    Thus, Xiaotian watched for the third time.


    By the time he had finished watching for the third time, he had almost fully grasped the sword techniques of the second level Sword Wall, with only the final two or three moves having some minor aspects not yet fullyprehended.


    Xiaotian then watched for the fourth time.


    When he had finished watching for the fourth time, he hadpletely grasped the entire set of Swordsmanship Divine Ability, leaving no stone unturned.


    At this point, only a little over two hours had passed since Yang Xiaotian had entered the second level.


    In the grand hall of Tiandou Academy, the upper echelons of the academy agreed that Fan Riquan would teach Yang Xiaotian, while Xie Hong would teach Guo Wei, Zhong Yun would teach Lin Xiao, and Zhu Chenhui would teach Xiao Yong.


    After the agreement, everyone left the grand hall.


    Zhong Yun, Zhu Chenhui, and Sun Ze left together.


    Along the way, Sun Ze eximed, ¡°I never expected Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao Talent to be so high. Heprehended the first level Sword Wall in less than an hour. At this rate, I¡¯m afraid he mightprehend the second level Sword Wall in just two days.¡±


    On hearing this, Zhong Yun sneered and said, ¡°You¡¯re overestimating Yang Xiaotian. Just because heprehended the first level Sword Wall quickly, doesn¡¯t mean he will grasp the second level just as fast. I think even ten days might not be enough for him toprehend the second level Sword Wall.¡±


    Zhu Chenhui nodded and added, ¡°Brother Zhong is right. Many Sword Dao Geniuses in our academyprehended the first level Sword Wall quickly, but slowed down at the second level, just like Chen Jun. It took him only two days for the first level, but over three months for the second!¡±


    ¡°There are even Sword Dao Geniuses who, afterprehending the first level, were never able toprehend the second level.¡±


    Just then, he abruptly stopped, his face a picture of shock as he stared in the direction of the Sword Tower, then his expression turned to utter astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.


    Zhong Yun and Zhu Chenhui also sensed something and turned around sharply.


    They saw from the direction of the Sword Tower, streaks of Sword Qi shooting up into the sky, so dazzling, so unwavering.


    Zhong Yun and Zhu Chenhui stood with their mouths agape, their minds went nk, and all they could see were those brilliant streaks of Sword Qi erupting into the sky ¨C nothing else mattered. Then, the Sword Tower shook once again.


    Sword light burst forth.


    The power of the Sword Tower, which had vanished for less than half a day, returned to the world of the living.


    The authority of the sword once again enveloped the space inside the Sword Tower.


    All the students inside the Sword Tower space, after their initial shock, wore expressions of sheer terror. The power of the sword just now had frightened manv students out of their wits. and thev had onlv iust recovered when it struck again?!


    And this time, the power of the Sword Tower was even stronger than before!


    He Qingzhe on the fourteenth level, who had just gotten into the state ofprehending the sword, felt the overwhelming sword authority bear down on him and, equally terrified, began to frantically circte the Divine¡¯s Techniques, roaring, ¡°Who the hell is awakening the power of the Sword Tower again!¡±


    ¡°I will not let you off!¡±


    But no sooner had he finished speaking did the crushing sword authority descend like the Ancient Divine Mountain, mming him onto the ground, ttening him..

    Trantor: 549690339


    He Qingzhe tried to stand up, but no matter how he circted his True Yuan, no matter how his Divine Light surged, he was still crushed mercilessly by the Sword Qi of the Sword Tower.


    Meanwhile, on the second floor, Yang Xiaotian was enveloped in a bright sword aura that was even more intense and dazzling than before.


    Guo Wei and the other students looked at Yang Xiaotian with faces filled with horror.


    ¡°Sword Heart!¡±


    ¡°Two of them!¡±


    Indeed, Yang Xiaotian, bathed in the sword aura, had condensed a Sword Heart once more afterprehending the secondyer of the Sword Wall! The second supreme Sword Heart, the Nine-Colored Sword Heart!


    While Guo Wei was shocked, his expression turned ugly.


    Two Sword Hearts!


    Yang Xiaotian had actually condensed two Sword Hearts!


    That meant, back on the first floor, Yang Xiaotian, just like him, had already condensed a Sword Heart.


    And he did it in less than an hour!


    While Guo Wei and the other students were shocked, outside the Sword Tower, the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy, including Xie Hong and Fan Riquan, were equally astounded as they looked at the Sword Tower spewing sword aura.


    The two were about to return to their courtyard to cultivate when they had walked halfway and saw the Sword Tower, which had been quiet for three hours, once again erupting with Sword Qi.


    ¡°Awakened again?!¡± Xie Hong stuttered, his face filled with shock, and his usually articte speech started to be disordered.


    Fan Riquan looked at the Sword Tower, his throat parched and voice shaky, ¡°Is it Yang Xiaotian again?!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Xie Hong, after his initial shock, rushed towards the Sword Tower at almost insane speed.


    Fan Riquan snapped back to reality and simrly dashed towards the Sword Tower.


    Thinking that it might be Yang Xiaotian who had understood the secondyer of the Sword Wall, reawakening the power of the Sword Tower, Fan Riquan couldn¡¯t help but feel his heart pounding wildly.


    It was no surprise to him that Yang Xiaotianprehended the secondyer of the Sword Wall, but what was critical was that it had only been three hours since Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the firstyer of the Sword Wall.


    Three hours!


    Just as Xie Hong and Fan Riquan were rushing towards the Sword Tower, Zhong Yun, Zhu Chenhui, and Sun Ze were also speeding towards the Sword Tower.


    ¡°Could it be Yang Xiaotian who hasprehended the secondyer of the Sword Wall? Reawakening the power of the Sword Tower?¡± Zhu Chenhui pondered aloud on the way.


    Thinking about the possibility that it was Yang Xiaotian who hadprehended the secondyer of the Sword Wall, reawakening the power of the Sword Tower, Zhu Chenhui¡¯s inner turmoil was hard to suppress.


    However, Zhong Yun shook his head, ¡°Absolutely impossible! It just took three hours for Yang Xiaotian to barely understand the firstyer. It¡¯s impossible for him toprehend the secondyer after just another three hours!¡±


    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s another student in the Sword Tower who hasprehended ayer of the Sword Wall, reawakening the power of the Sword Tower.¡±


    Sun Ze also spoke up, ¡°Brother Zhong is right. Even for an extraordinary Sword Dao Genius, it¡¯s not possible toprehend the secondyer of the Sword Wall in just three hours!¡±


    ¡°Our founding ancestor of Tiandou Academy was hailed as the unrivaled Sword Dao Genius of the Empire, and it took him three days toprehend the secondyer. Even if Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao Talent is extraordinary, it¡¯s impossible for him to haveprehended the secondyer in just three hours!¡±


    Zhu Chenhui fell silent, finding it hard to believe that anyone couldprehend the secondyer in just three hours.


    As he flew, he watched the relentless spurting of sword light and Sword Qi from the Sword Tower, his heart a mess ofplicated feelings.


    What if it really was Yang Xiaotian?


    Almost at the same time, Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and Zhong Yun once again arrived at the Sword Tower.


    Three hourster, they gathered once more in front of the Sword Tower, looking at each other, at a loss for words.


    Finally, the Sword Qi and light from the Sword Tower began to retract.


    Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, Zhong Yun, and others once again sted open the tower door and filed in one after another.


    After scanning the first level, they arrived at the second level.


    As soon as they reached the second level, they saw the Sword Wall breathing out Sword Qi, and there was Yang Xiaotian still bathed in the Sword Qi.


    When they saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, at the location of his heart, they all trembled violently and eximed in unison, ¡°Sword Heart!¡±


    Before their arrival, they had spected that Xiaotian might haveprehended the second level¡¯s Sword Wall, they had thought he might have awakened the power of the Sword Tower again, but they had never imagined Xiaotian could condense another Sword Heart.


    Condensing a single Sword Heart had already been an extremely rare feat for a Sword Dao Genius, but what about two Sword Hearts?


    rlIV0 Sword Hearts!


    Seeing two Sword Hearts shining with Sword Qi at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, whether it was Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, Zhong Yun, Zhu Chenhui, or Sun Ze, they all breathed rapidly, their hearts filled with immense shock.


    In the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, there had been Sword Dao geniuses who had condensed a Sword Heart, but none had ever condensed two Sword Hearts! To condense two Sword Hearts in one day was even more unheard of.


    Xie Hong and Fan Riquan¡¯s hands trembled with excitement.


    Eventually, the Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian disappeared, and the Sword Hearts returned to calm.


    Fan Riquan came up to Yang Xiaotian, his eyes full of surprise, joy, and excitement, ¡°Good! Xiaotian, in less than three hours, you¡¯veprehended the second level of the Sword Wall, truly the foremost Sword Dao Genius of Tiandou Academy!¡±


    ¡°To condense two Sword Hearts in one day, unprecedented! Unheard of!¡± Fan Riquan was beside himself with excitement, almost incoherent.


    Xie Hong was also thrilled, ¡°The academy will definitely devote all its resources to cultivate you! From now on, you may make any request concerning Sword Dao cultivation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian initially thought to mention the Controlling Dragon Sword but ultimately shook his head. He also knew that when it came to the Controlling Dragon Sword, Xie Hong alone couldn¡¯t make the decision.


    Afterwards, Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and others, not wanting to disturb Yang Xiaotian, stayed only briefly and allowed Yang Xiaotian to continue his contemtion before leaving the Sword Tower.


    After Xie Hong and the others left, Yang Xiaotian made his way to the third level of the Sword Tower.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian leave, the students on the second level were abuzz with excitement.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian actuallyprehended the second level of the Sword Tower and condensed two Sword Hearts in three hours!¡±


    ¡°Two Sword Hearts! Without equal in this world!¡±


    Hearing the students¡¯ excited discussions, Guo Wei, who was being ignored to one side, had a sullen expression, his eyes cold, barely able to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.


    On the third level of the Sword Tower, there were fewer studentsprehending than on the second level.


    Yang Xiaotian sat down at an empty spot on a Formation Map and began to focus onprehending the Sword Wall of the third level.


    After Zhong Yun, Zhu Chenhui, and Sun Ze had left the Sword Tower and hadn¡¯t gone far, they separated from Xie Hong and Fan Riquan. On their way, Zhu Chenhui was filled with emotion, ¡°Who would have thought that Yang


    Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent was so high!¡±


    ¡°Maybe Yang Xiaotian really canprehend all eighteen levels of the Sword Tower!¡±


    Zhu Chenhui couldn¡¯t contain his excitement at the thought of Yang Xiaotian somedayprehending all eighteen levels of the Sword Tower.


    There had always been spection and debate about the eighteenth level of the Sword Tower; some said that the sword on the eighteenth level was a Heavenly Sword!


    Others even said that the sword on the eighteenth level was a Divine Sword!


    But these were just conjectures; if Yang Xiaotian really managed toprehend all eighteen levels of the Sword Tower, then all would be revealed.


    However, Zhong Yun spoke with a cold voice, ¡°The ancestor could only reach the sixteenth level, to think of Yang Xiaotianprehending theplete eighteen levels of the Sword Tower is a daydream, unless he can condense three Sword Hearts..¡±

 Chapter 156: Tri-Fusion Sword Heart

    Chapter 156: Tri-Fusion Sword Heart


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hearing Zhong Yun mention that to fullyprehend the Sword Tower¡¯s eighteenyers, one needed three Sword Hearts.


    Zhu Chenhui and Sun Ze were silent for a moment.


    In the past, their Tiandou Academy¡¯s founding master had condensed a single Sword Heart and reached the sixteenthyer of the Sword Tower, and had asserted that if one could condense two Sword Hearts, they would be able to reach the seventeenthyer.


    If one wished to fullyprehend all eighteenyers of the Sword Tower, they must possess three Sword Hearts.


    And now, Yang Xiaotian had only two Sword Hearts.


    Sun Ze changed the subject and said, ¡°I wonder how long Yang Xiaotian will take toprehend the thirdyer.¡±


    Zhu Chenhui pondered and replied, ¡°Based on the speed at which Yang Xiaotianprehended the first and secondyers, he should be able toprehend the thirdyer by tomorrow.¡±


    Tomorrow, that is, in twenty-four hours, to fullyprehend the first threeyers of the Sword Tower!


    Just the thought made Zhu Chenhui¡¯s heart race wildly.


    This time, Zhong Yun and Sun Ze remained silent.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian was sitting in the formation seat of the thirdyer of the Sword Tower, his gaze falling on the Sword Wall of the thirdyer.


    The Sword Wall of the thirdyer depicted three swordsmen wielding their swords.


    The three swordsmen, each performing their swordsmanship simultaneously, undoubtedly madeprehending thisyer much more difficult than the second.


    Just like that, many students of Tiandou Academy couldprehend the first and secondyers, but a good number were unable toprehend the third.


    Before Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, the Sword Wall slowly began to change.


    However, this time, the three sword-wielding swordsmen did not leap out from the Sword Wall.


    In a trance, Yang Xiaotian found himself in a vast expanse of heaven and earth.


    Within this vast expanse, the three swordsmen were shing with each other.


    Each move and each form by the three are distinctive.


    One¡¯s swordsmanship was fierce, another¡¯s was agile, and another¡¯s was ever-changing.


    Their sword strikes were extremely fast, faster by a few degrees than the first and secondyers.


    Dazzling to the eye.


    After exchanging blows for a while, suddenly their swordsmanship and the aura of their des changed; the one whose swordsmanship had been fierce now adopted an agile style, while the one who had been agile turned fierce beyondpare, and the one whose swordsmanship had been ever-changing suddenly simplified it, as natural as the profound simplicity of a great path.


    Yang Xiaotian concentrated fully, paying close attention to the changes in the three swordsmen¡¯s techniques.


    An hourter, when the three stopped, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirit withdrew from the world of the Sword Wall, and he closed his eyes to recall the variations in the swordsmen¡¯s techniques he had just witnessed.


    Despite having seen it only once, he had nhelessmitted to memory all their swordsmanship moves and forms.


    He then started to review it a second and third time.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian had watched it for the fourth time, he had almostpletelyprehended the variations in the sword techniques of the three swordsmen, only missing thest piece to integrate them thoroughly.


    The fifth time.


    Finally, he fully integrated and understood the sword techniques of the three swordsmen!


    When Yang Xiaotian had thoroughlyprehended the Sword Wall of the thirdyer, it was already dusk, and once more, the Sword Tower shook, the Sword Qi surged forth, and the majestic presence of the sword descended.


    Within the Sword Tower, all the students who wereprehending the sword felt the imposing aura of the sword and were horror-struck, to the point of turning pale with fright, some students even prostrated themselves before the sword¡¯s majesty had even descended upon them.


    He Qingzhe, who had just entered the state of sword enlightenment on the fourteenth level, was simrly terrified, his face turning pale, like a wounded fierce beast, he roared furiously and circted his Divine¡¯s Techniques crazily, but in the blink of an eye, he was sted to the ground by the sword¡¯s majesty.


    At that moment, Zhong Yun, Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and others were cultivating in their respective courtyards; feeling the power from the Sword Tower, they all turned in surprise, and when they looked toward the Sword Tower, they were stupefied.


    The setting sun cast its glow on the Sword Tower, which was spewing forth sword energies, creating a scene of spectacr beauty, a vision that would forever be etched in the minds of the onlookers.


    Many yearster, when Yang Xiaotian had be the Supreme God, they were still unable to forget that scene.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Zhong Yun, Xie Hong, and others learned that Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the third level and condensed the third Sword Heart.


    ¡°Three Sword Hearts,¡± Zhong Yun sighed faintly, then used a secret technique to summon a masked man in ck, and said with a grave voice, ¡°Kill Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°Strike when he enters the fourth level for the Sword Wall Enlightenment!¡± ¡°Dig his heart out intact and bring it back to me!¡±


    A heart that had condensed three Sword Hearts was an invaluable treasure.


    A short whileter, the masked man in ck vanished with a sh.


    Zhong Yun¡¯s eyes were cold and stern. When Yang Xiaotian wasprehending the Sword Wall, his mind and spirit would be wholly focused on it, at which time an assassination would surely be sessful.


    Furthermore, the academy had never anticipated that someone would kill Yang Xiaotian inside the Sword Tower.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, once you enter the fourth level, you are certain to die!¡± News of Yang Xiaotian condensing three Sword Hearts spread quickly, boiling over the entire Tiandou Academy.


    Condensing two Sword Hearts was already unique in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, so what about three Sword Hearts?


    However, after Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the third level of the Sword Tower, he did not continue toprehend the fourth level but instead left the Sword Tower.


    It was now dark outside, and he needed to go back to practice Alchemy and cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    He would return the next day to continue his enlightenment.


    After all,prehending the Sword Tower wasn¡¯t something that could be achieved overnight.


    After returning to his residence, Liu An had already purchased a batch of ves from the ve market, all of them within the Innate Realm, a total of twenty people.


    These Innate Realm ves had good foundations and talents.


    Yang Xiaotian instructed Liu An to take these ves down for training, then he started the furnace to refine the Endless Life Pill¡ªthe Azure Thunder Python had been swallowing excellent Endless Life Pills every day for cultivation and healing, and he had already used up all the pills.


    Now, he needed to ensure an ample supply of excellent Endless Life Pills to elerate the healing of the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s injuries.


    The news of himprehending the Sword Tower and condensing three Sword Hearts quickly spread to the surrounding countries, and soon, there would be many who wished for his death.


    After practicing Alchemy for a while, Yang Xiaotian swallowed an excellent Nine Suns Longevity Pill and started cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian went to the academy and met with Fan Riquan, inquiring about the Sword Tower, ¡°What do you know about the Sword Tower, Senior Fan?¡±


    Fan Riquan pondered and said, ¡°The Sword Tower should be an artifact left by a


    Sword God. ¡±


    ¡°A Sword God!¡± Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    In the entire Azure God Continent, very few could be called a Sword God. He hadn¡¯t expected that the Sword Tower was actually left by a Sword God.


    Fan Riquan nodded, ¡°Eachyer of the Sword Tower contains a Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power. The higher you go, the stronger the Divine Power. On the seventeenth level, it should be one of the top ten Supreme Divine Powers.¡±


    ¡°As for thest level, it should contain the Heavenly Sword and its swordsmanship.¡±


    ¡°Of course, it could also be a Divine Sword.¡¯


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly moved. Fan Riquan was unlikely to speak without basis. Since he mentioned that the eighteenth level contained the Heavenly Sword or a Divine Sword, the possibility was extremely high.


    Fan Riquan spoke earnestly to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, you have an excellent talent, but one must not rush in the path of cultivation, especially at the Martial King Realm. You musty a solid foundation and not rush to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.¡±


    ¡°The more robust your foundation in the Martial King Realm, the more and stronger the Supreme Divine Powers you cultivate, and when you break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, the stronger the Golden Core you will be able to condense! ¡±


    He then took out a booklet and handed it to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I have a book here describing the Golden Core, you might want to read it..¡±

 Chapter 157: The Strongest Top-Quality Golden Core

    Chapter 157: The Strongest Top-Quality Golden Core


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Oh, does cultivating Divine Skills have something to do with condensing the


    Golden Core?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in surprise.


    It was the first time he had heard of this.


    Fan Riquan nodded, ¡°That¡¯s correct. To break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, you must use the power of the Divine Skills you¡¯ve cultivated to condense the Golden Core. The stronger the Divine Skills, the more formidable the condensed Golden Core will be.¡±


    ¡°If you can cultivate ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm, then the condensed Golden Core will be of high quality!¡±


    ¡°Should you cultivate ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery


    Realm, you can hope to condense a top-quality Golden Core!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank, ¡°The Summit Mastery Realm?¡±


    The eleven Supreme Divine Powers left by Cao Shun, including the Netherworld Demon Hand, he had already cultivated them to the Perfection Realm.


    But to think of cultivating these Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm was very difficult!


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Summit Mastery Realm,¡± Fan Riquanmented. ¡°Therefore, to condense a top-quality Golden Core is difficult! The Divine Dragon Empire has countless geniuses, yet few can condense a top-quality Golden Core!¡±


    ¡°Let alone a top-quality one, even a high-quality Golden Core is rarely seen. Out of the thousands of students in our Tiandou Academy, only a handful can condense a high-quality Golden Core.¡±


    Many Martial Kings spend their entire lives unable to cultivate even one


    Supreme Divine Power to the Perfection Realm, not to mention cultivating ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm, which for many Martial King powerhouses is as difficult as reaching the heavens.


    As for reaching the Summit Mastery Realm, that¡¯s practically wishful thinking.


    ¡°Do you really have to cultivate to the Summit Mastery Realm to do it?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Fan Riquan shook his head, ¡°Not necessarily. If you can cultivate a hundred Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm, you may also hope to condense a top-quality Golden Core.¡± A hundred!


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    The difficulty was on a par with cultivating ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm.


    And where would one find so many Supreme Divine Powers?


    Even if you sessfully cultivated all the Supreme Divine Powers from Tiandou Academy, there were only about thirty.


    With Cao Shun¡¯s, it was only in the forties.


    Nowhere near enough!


    Fan Riquan continued, ¡°Moreover, condensing a top-quality Golden Core from cultivating ten Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm will only yield an ordinary top-quality Golden Core. To condense the strongest ten types of top-quality Golden Cores, you need to cultivate at least twenty Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mouth hung open, unable to express his feelings in words.


    Fan Riquan added, ¡°As for the strongest top-quality Golden Core, it is necessary to cultivate thirty Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery Realm.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian: ¡®


    Thirty, Supreme Divine Powers, Summit Mastery!


    How long would he have to cultivate for that?


    The key was, even if he cultivated, he still might not reach the Summit Mastery.


    After a long time, Yang Xiaotian finally spoke hesitantly, ¡°Has anyone ever condensed the strongest top-quality Golden Core?¡±


    Fan Riquan shook his head, ¡°Since ancient times, no one has condensed the strongest top-quality Golden Core any longer.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, meaning that in ancient times, someone had managed to condense the strongest top-quality Golden Core.


    ¡°Senior Fan, for a Sword Dao master, how many Sword Hearts can one condense at most?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.


    He had already condensed three Sword Hearts and was eager to know how many was the limit. Fan Riquan said, ¡°It is ten.¡± Ten!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows furrowed.


    If that were the case, he stillcked seven.


    Seeing the expression on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, Fan Riquan knew what he was thinking and said, ¡°You should not belittle yourself. The ability to condense a Sword Heart already makes you an Unparalleled Sword Dao Genius. In the hundred years of Tiandou Academy, very few students have been able to condense a Sword Heart, and none have managed to condense three!¡±


    As for nine or ten Sword Hearts, being unparalleled throughout the ages, Fan Riquan didn¡¯t dare to hope that Yang Xiaotian could condense that many Sword Hearts.


    ¡°Now, are there any students from other imperial academies who have condensed the fourth or fifth Sword Heart?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Fan Riquan hesitated before saying, ¡°Unparalleled Academy has a Sword Dao Genius named You Yi who has condensed five Sword Hearts. This You Yi is no simple character; he was born with the Five Elements Sword Body! And he has an Innate Sword Heart!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked: ¡°Five Elements Sword Body, Innate Sword Heart!¡±


    Fan Riquan nodded: ¡°Indeed, a superior Sword Body, the Five Elements Sword


    Body! Moreover, he was born with a Sword Heart, and being a new student of Unparalleled Academy, he has condensed five Sword Hearts before the age of twenty!¡±


    ¡°Give You Yi enough time, and he will surely be able to condense nine Sword Hearts!¡±


    Nine Sword Hearts!


    That would be astonishing, transcending the past and present.


    Nine Sword Hearts? Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists. Even Fan Riquan was certain that You Yi could condense nine Sword Hearts in the future, showing the height of his Sword Dao Talent.


    However, it made sense. To be born with a superior Sword Body was already astonishing, not to mention being born with a Sword Heart¡ªhow many Sword Dao geniuses would despair at that.


    ¡°Besides You Yi, are there other students from imperial academies who have condensed Sword Hearts?¡± Yang Xiaotian was still curious.


    After contemting, Fan Riquan said, ¡°Among the thirty-seven imperial academies, there are currently nine genius students who have condensed


    Sword Hearts. However, most of them have only condensed one Sword Heart.¡±


    ¡°The Six Paths Academy has a student named Qin Yu whose Sword Dao Talent is only stronger, not weaker than You Yi¡¯s.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was startled. You Yi was born with a Five Elements Sword Body and an Innate Sword Heart, which was already monstrous. But Qin Yu¡¯s Sword Dao Talent was even stronger?


    Fan Riquan said, ¡°This Qin Yu, likewise, was born with a Sword Body and an Innate Sword Heart, and his Martial Soul is an immensely powerful giant sword, tested to be a level thirteen top-tier Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°However, Qin Yu is not from the same batch as you. He is with Ren Qingzhe, Chen Jun, Tian Meiling and others; Qin Yu has already been selected as a seed disciple by the Sky-Stepping Sect and will probably join them next year!¡± The Sky-Stepping Sect!


    The strongest among the Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire, ranking first among the ten Supreme Sects, even surpassing the True Dragon Divine Sect and the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect in strength.


    ¡°Senior Fan, isn¡¯t it possible that the ten Supreme Sects might choose someone as a seed disciple ahead of time?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    If possible, he wanted to join the True Dragon Divine Sect ahead of time.


    Upon hearing this, Fan Riquan smiled and said, ¡°To be selected as a seed disciple by one of the ten Supreme Sects ahead of time is difficult! Unless you can condense ten Sword Hearts, if you manage to condense ten Sword Hearts, or even more, the various Supreme Sects will be vying to choose you.¡± ¡®More than ten Sword Hearts?¡± Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    Just now, Fan Riquan had said the most one could condense was ten Sword Hearts.


    Seeing the confusion on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, Fan Riquan exined, ¡°Theoretically, a person can condense at most ten Sword Hearts, but with heaven-defying luck, it¡¯s possible to condense eleven, or even twelve Sword Hearts!¡±


    Hearing this, he shook his head: ¡°However, such heaven-defying luck is easier said than found.


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian left Fan Riquan¡¯s courtyard.


    Heaven-defying luck, huh?


    He walked briskly toward the Sword Tower.


    Today¡¯s goal was toprehend the fourth level!


    Just as Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Sword Tower, he saw arge group of students standing in front of it, led by He Qingzhe, with Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong behind him.


    It appeared that He Qingzhe and Guo Wei were waiting for him specifically.

 Chapter 158 - 158 Yang Xiaotian, Get Down!

    Chapter 158: Yang Xiaotian, Get Down!


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°He Qingzhe saw Yang Xiaotian from afar and his eyes turned cold, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve finally arrived!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yang Xiaotian nced at He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, and the others.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± When He Qingzhe heard Yang Xiaotian ask what was the matter, he couldn¡¯t help but burn with rage, ¡°You motherfucker still ask what¡¯s the matter! Yesterday, you activated the Sword Tower¡¯s power and kept interrupting myprehension of the Sword Wall, and you still ask me what¡¯s the matter!¡±


    ¡°Today, I will pound you into the ground so hard you¡¯ll eat dirt!¡±


    Thinking about how he was sted to the ground again and again by the Sword Tower¡¯s might yesterday, and how he was thrown directly onto the floor, he was uncontrobly furious.


    He had never suffered such immense shame.


    When he was sted onto the floor yesterday, he couldn¡¯t even close his mouth, and he even drooled!


    The more He Qingzhe thought about it, the angrier he became. He stepped forward toward Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, you¡¯ve condensed three Sword Hearts, right? Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a chance. Now, release the power of your three Sword Hearts!¡±


    Condensing Sword Hearts wasn¡¯t only about improving the speed of one¡¯s Sword Dao cultivation.


    The power of the Sword Heart was also incredibly astonishing.


    It could be said to possess an enigmatic and unpredictable might.


    Just then, suddenly, someone approached from afar. He Qingzhe, who was about to take action, saw the neer and his face darkened like water. Theer was none other than Chen Jun.


    ¡°Chen Jun, you want to meddle again!¡± He Qingzhe snapped angrily.


    Chen Jun looked at the enraged He Qingzhe with an indifferent face, ¡°From now on, what happens to Yang Xiaotian has nothing to do with me. Whatever you want to do to torment him, go ahead! ¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m here today to watch the fun.¡±


    Then he moved aside, with the air of someone settling in to enjoy the show.


    He Qingzhe was taken aback but then rxed. As long as Chen Jun didn¡¯t interfere, things would be easy. His whole body¡¯s aura intensified, and he red at Yang Xiaotian, suddenlyshing out with a palm that came down with the force of Mount Tai, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, get down!¡±


    Just as He Qingzhe¡¯s palm force was about tond, suddenly, a streak of Sword Qi shot across the sky, instantly shredding his palm force to pieces.


    The crowd was shocked, only to see that Fan Riquan had arrived at some point in the distance.


    Fan Riquan snorted coldly, ¡°He Qingzhe, don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯ve been selected as a seed disciple by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect you can vite the academy¡¯s rules at will. You¡¯re not yet a disciple of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect!¡±


    ¡°If you dare to break the academy¡¯s rules again, I¡¯ll deal with you ording to the academy¡¯sws!¡±


    All the students on the scene, seeing Fan Riquan, hastily bowed in salute.


    He Qingzhe, however,ughed, ¡°The vice president is jesting. Just now, I merely wanted to give Junior Brother Yang some guidance in cultivation; I had no ill intentions.¡±


    Following that, heughed, ¡°I have always followed the academy¡¯s rules.¡±


    After speaking, he slightly bowed and flew off. Before leaving, he gave Yang Xiaotian a cold stare, clearly indicating this matter was not yet settled.


    Chen Jun, Guo Wei, and others, seeing that there was no drama to watch, scattered like birds and beasts, each leaving in their own direction. Fan Riquan approached Yang Xiaotian and asked, ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head indicating he was fine.


    Fan Riquan nodded and told Yang Xiaotian that if he encountered any trouble in the future, he coulde to him, then he left.


    After Fan Riquan departed, the Azure Thunder Python appeared on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arm. It looked coldly in the direction where He Qingzhe left, ¡°Do you want me to just swallow up this kid.¡±


    ¡°No need,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I want to take care of him myself!¡± Having said that, he entered the Sword Tower.


    However, no sooner had he entered the Sword Tower than he saw that all the students who had beenprehending the Sword Wall were looking at him with faces filled with terror, as if they were looking at a terrifying giant beast.


    Then, all the students on the first floor got up in a panic and fled from the Sword Tower as if they were escaping.


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned by this, but then he realized why the students were terrified; clearly, they had been scared by yesterday¡¯s disy of Sword Qi.


    Seeing himing, they hurriedly withdrew.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head with a smile.


    It seemed that he had be the least wee presence in the Sword Tower.


    He ascended to the second floor.


    The students on the second floor who saw Yang Xiaotian fled in terror just the


    same.


    The third floor, the fourth floor as well.


    Looking at the deserted fourth floor, Yang Xiaotian smiled wryly and then sat down in the very center of the floor. Now he was in a good position; no one elsepeted for a spot, so he could sit wherever he wanted.


    After sitting down, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell upon the Sword Wall on the fourth level.


    Above the fourth floor¡¯s Sword Wall were four swordsmen, men and women, stationed in a surrounding stance with swords in hand.


    Seeing that the fourth level¡¯s Sword Wall had four swordsmen, Yang Xiaotian felt a sense of strangeness. Could it be that the fifth level would have five swordsmen, and the sixth level six swordsmen?


    As he pondered upon it, the fourth level¡¯s Sword Wall began to shimmer with light.


    Yang Xiaotian found himself in a dense forest.


    The dense forest stretched as far as the eye could see, and at that moment, four swordsmen appeared in the sky above the forest, a group of both men and women, all beginning to wield their swordsmanship simultaneously.


    Compared to the third level, the swordsmanship of these four was even faster.


    Their swordsmanship was like a gentle breeze upon the face, like a light rain falling, like the awakening of all things, like thend rejuvenating.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully observed the swordy of the four and felt the artistic conception of their swordsmanship.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was wholeheartedly engrossed in the Sword Wall, suddenly, the door to the fourth level of the tower opened and a figure floated in. Upon arrival, he saw Yang Xiaotian fully immersed in the Sword Wall, and the stranger¡¯s sword instantly thrust towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    This person was indeed a Martial Ancestor Expert.


    And he was not an ordinary Martial Ancestor but a third tier Martial Ancestor!


    His speed was extremely fast, and just as the sword was about to pierce through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat, suddenly, the sky darkened above, and an overwhelming majesty of a Divine Beast King, like a flood, surged toward him.


    Startled, he looked up only to see the mountainous figure of an Azure Thunder


    Python.


    ¡°Divine Beast King!¡±


    ¡°Azure Thunder Python!¡±


    His mind thundered, his body trembled, and he almost copsed in fright.


    The eyes of the Azure Thunder Python, like smallkes, looked down on the assassin as its massive maw opened wide and swallowed the figure in one gulp, then returned to its small green snake form and went back to the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian remained seated, continuing to ponder over the Sword Wall, unfazed, as if the assassin had never been there.


    After watching it once, Yang Xiaotian closed his eyes to recall the swordsmanship of the four.


    Then he watched it a second time, a third time.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian had watched it for the seventh time, he had finallyprehended the swordsmanship of the four.


    The light from the Sword Wall shook violently, and Sword Qi surged.


    However, this time, the power of the Sword Tower did not awaken; it was just the Sword Wall emitting Sword Qi.


    Once everything returned to calm,


    Yang Xiaotian came to his senses with a furrowed brow.


    He had sessfullyprehended the fourth level Sword Wall, but he had not awakened the Sword Heart, and therefore, the power of the Sword Tower was not summoned.


    Although he had been mentally prepared, Yang Xiaotian still couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.


    However, he quickly recovered, stepped out of the Sword Tower, and now, not yet nine years old, he had already condensed three of the Strongest Sword Hearts. He believed that he would surely be able to condense ten of the Strongest Sword Hearts in the future!


    Leaving the academy, night had fallen, the streets were bustling with carriages and horses, many shops were lit up withnterns and streamers, a festive scene, and only then did Yang Xiaotian remember that the New Year was upon them.


    ¡°I wonder how the girl is doing,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought of his sister Yang Ling¡¯er. His sister was currently at the True Dragon Divine Sect, while he was in Tiandou Imperial City, and their parents were in Divine Sword City.


    Walking the lively streets, Yang Xiaotian felt a sense of loneliness engulf him as he watched the ying children.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was walking on the bustling street, He Qingzhe followed


    him from behind..

 Chapter 159 - 159 Liu Shuang, Wang Fan, and His Disciple

    Chapter 159: Liu Shuang, Wang Fan, and His Disciple


    Trantor: 549690339


    He Qingzhe looked at Yang Xiaotian walking alone ahead and sneered coldly.


    Inside Tiandou Academy, with Fan Riquan present, he couldn¡¯t make a move. Now, without Fan Riquan around, Yang Xiaotian, let¡¯s see who can protect you!


    Just as He Qingzhe was about to step forward and m Yang Xiaotian into the ground to eat dirt, he saw several people approaching Yang Xiaotian. It was none other than the prince of Ancient Sword Kingdom, Gu Xi.


    Gu Xi hadn¡¯t expected to encounter Yang Xiaotian. When he saw him from afar, he hurried over with his entourage, surprised and delighted.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡± Gu Xi called out joyfully from a distance.


    Seeing that it was Gu Xi, Yang Xiaotian was also a bit surprised and smiled, ¡°Prince Gu Xi.¡±


    Gu Xi waved his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, ¡°What prince? Just call me Gu Xi from now on.¡± He then asked with a smile, ¡°Did Divine Yang just leave the academy? Are you free? Shall we go for a few drinks?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was momentarily startled, then nodded with a smile, ¡°Sure.¡± He had a good impression of Prince Gu Xi of Ancient Sword Kingdom.


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s agreement, Gu Xi was overjoyed and said enthusiastically, ¡°Great, let¡¯s go. I know of a tavern in Tiandou Imperial City that¡¯s really quite excellent.¡±


    Seeing Gu Xi¡¯s child-like joy, Yang Xiaotian smiled.


    From afar, He Qingzhe¡¯s face darkened when he saw Gu Xi leaving with Yang Xiaotian. Damn it, just when he could make a move, another shit-stirrer pops up! With Gu Xi and his guards around, it was not convenient for him to act.


    However, he was not content to just walk away; instead, he followed behind Yang Xiaotian and the others.


    Gu Xi led Yang Xiaotian to a small tavern that was a bit out of the way. Even though it was secluded, the wine was truly good, and Yang Xiaotian and Gu Xi¡¯s group drank merrily.


    By then, it was the cold winter month, and He Qingzhe was hidden in the shadows, the cold wind blowing in gusts that made him fire up with anger, even smoke with rage.


    Eventually, he left, his face flushed with anger.


    Next year, he would join Subduing Dragon Sword Sect. Until then, he had plenty of opportunities to teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson.


    He refused to believe that Yang Xiaotian could always slip away.


    Late into the night, Yang Xiaotian and Gu Xi parted ways, and Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence.


    But when he got back, he found Liu An and a few others waiting for him, with bruised noses and swollen faces.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face darkened.


    Liu An stammered, ¡°It was Liu Shuang from the Medicine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Liu Shuang?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Liu Shuang is a Senior Executor of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Pharmacist


    Hall, and also a disciple of Wang Fan, the Grand Master of Pharmacists of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom,¡± Liu An exined. ¡°Today, young master, when you asked us to go buy medicinal ingredients at the Medicine Hall, we ran into Liu Shuang. We had past grievances with him, and they outnumbered us; we were no match.¡±


    At this, Liu An lowered his head, ¡°We didn¡¯t manage to buy the young master¡¯s medicinal ingredients, we¡¯re sorry, young master.¡± All five of Liu An¡¯s group lowered their heads.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold.


    These past days, he had almost used up the medicinal ingredients for concocting the Nine Suns Longevity Pill. Today he had sent Liu An to buy them, only to find out that not only did they not get the ingredients, but they were also beaten until their noses were bruised and faces swollen.


    ¡°Does Elder Wu know?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t dare tell master yet,¡± Liu An gave a bitter smile, knowing that if his master found out, he would inevitably turn the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall upside down, which would surely cause trouble.


    That¡¯s because behind the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall, stood none other than the Empire Alchemy Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    As the Grand Master of Pharmacists of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, Wang Fan was also the brother of a Great Elder in the Empire Alchemy Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll go with you to the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    Liu An hesitated, then said, ¡°It might be useless for young master to go. Liu Shuang and his master Wang Fan are extremely overbearing, and he said it didn¡¯t matter who I brought with me, it would all be the same. Moreover, he has ordered that no Medicine Hall within Tiandou Imperial Kingdom is allowed to sell medicinal ingredients to me anymore.¡±


    Liu An was a Three-Star Pharmacist.


    ording to the rules of the Empire Alchemy Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire, all pharmacists have the right to purchase medicinal materials from any pharmacy.


    However, now Liu Shuang has stipted that no pharmacy in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom is allowed to sell medicinal materials to Liu An.


    ¡°No pharmacy in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom is allowed to sell medicinal materials to you?¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    Liu An nodded, ¡°In the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, Liu Shuang and Wang Fan, master and disciple, can be said to cover the sky with one hand. They restrict whichever pharmacist¡¯s rights they wish to restrict.¡±


    ¡°Any pharmacist who dares to disobey their orders will have their qualifications revoked by them.¡±


    ¡°The pharmacists of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Medicine Hall are furious but dare not speak out. Some have reported the problems with Liu Shuang and Wang Fan to the Empire Alchemy Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire, but nothing came of it, and the pharmacists who made the reports had their qualifications revoked by Liu Shuang and Wang Fan in the end.¡±


    ¡°Wang Fan even stipted that the family of that pharmacist cannot have any of its disciples take the pharmacist exam in the future.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brow furrowed deeply.


    From this it seems that Liu Shuang and Wang Fan, master and disciple, are even worse than bullies.


    ¡°In the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, even His Majesty Tiandou has to give three points of courtesy to Wang Fan, ¡± said Liu An.


    ¡°Alright, I understand now,¡± Yang Xiaotian said. He then gave Liu An and the others some healing elixirs and told them to go down and heal.


    The night was thick, and the cold frost drifted down.


    But Yang Xiaotian was pondering over the assassin he had encountered in the tower today, wondering who had sent them.


    Was it Zhong Yun? Or He Qingzhe? Or was it Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and their ilk?


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian called on Wu Qi, and together with Liu An and the others, they left the residence and headed towards the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall.


    Wu Qi already knew about what had happened to Liu An and the others the day before, so his expression all the way was fiercely unapproachable.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall.


    The Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall was bustling, with experts from various sects and familiesing in and out.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived, a pharmacist immediately reported to Liu Shuang that Liu An had brought people.


    Liu Shuang was in the Inner Hall, leisurely enjoying the pearl grapes brought by a female pharmacist. Upon hearing the report that Liu An hade again, he couldn¡¯t help but chuckle with a sneer, ¡°They dare toe again? How many people have they brought this time?¡±


    ¡°An old man close to death¡¯s door, and a child of eight or nine years old,¡± the pharmacist hastily replied.


    Liu Shuang almost choked on the grape in his mouth and burst intoughter, ¡°An old man and a kid?¡± He then stood up,ughing, ¡°Come, let¡¯s go out and see what kind of odd specimens Liu An has brought!¡±


    Under Liu Shuang¡¯s lead, a group of experts marched mightily towards the front hall.


    Upon reaching the front hall, Liu Shuang saw Liu An and scoffed with augh,


    ¡°Liu An, you actually dare toe!¡± Then his gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian and


    Wu Qi, and he started tough, ¡°These are the experts you¡¯ve brought?¡±


    ¡°This old man, about to die, right? And this little brat, has he been weaned yet?¡±


    With that, his eyes shed viciously, ¡°I warned you yesterday, if you dared to step into the gates of the Pharmacist Hall again, I would break your limbs!¡± His entourage of experts was about to surge forward.


    However, as these people were about to advance, Wu Qi snorted coldly and mmed hisrge wooden staff violently against the ground.


    Boom!


    A thunderous explosion resonated.


    The entire Pharmacist Hall shook violently.


    Everyone in the Grand Hall felt their minds thundering, and all were shocked and terrified.


    A fierce aura of the Supreme Emperor burst forth from Wu Qi, causing the Pharmacist Hall to roar incessantly.

 Chapter 160: Alchemy Without Using a Medicine Cauldron

    Chapter 160: Alchemy Without Using a Medicine Cauldron


    Trantor: 549690339


    Liu Shuang and the group of experts behind him were all forced to retreat repeatedly by the powerful air waves emanating from Wu Qi; as Martial Ancestors and recognized masters in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, they were still no match for Wu Qi, the Supreme Emperor!


    After retreating dozens of steps, Liu Shuang and the others finally managed to steady themselves.


    As they stopped, Liu Shuang felt his blood roiling, looking at Wu Qi with shock and fear; this old man who seemed to be on his deathbed was actually an emperor-ss expert!


    And judging by his aura, he was definitely beyond the first or second level of the Emperor Realm, he could even be at the fourth or fifth level!


    Startled and enraged, Liu Shuang bellowed, ¡°Who are you? You¡¯ve got some nerve to cause trouble at the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom!¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than he saw Wu Qi wave hisrge staff, and a wave of qi struck through the air. The power was so immense that Liu Shuang¡¯s face changed, and he dodged repeatedly in a panic, swinging a long sword in his hand, creating a startling web of sword energy.


    But it was of no use¡ªthe sword web was instantly shattered by the st of qi.


    Liu Shuang was sent tumbling out, spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Steward Liu!¡± The experts from the Pharmacist Hall were shocked and rushed to Liu Shuang¡¯s side to help him up.


    Liu Shuang pushed away the experts, ring furiously at Wu Qi and Yang


    Xiaotian¡¯s group. His master was Wang Fan, and as a Senior Executor of the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, even emperor-ss experts were obligated to treat him with a degree of courtesy in normal times.


    He had never been sted like this by anyone.


    Let alone sted so publicly in such a grand setting.


    Staring at Wu Qi, Liu Shuang shouted fiercely, ¡°You senile old fool, don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re an emperor that you can be so arrogant. When the experts from our Alchemist Hall arrive, I¡¯ll y you alive and use your skin for alchemy!¡±


    Wu Qi let out a cold snort and struck the ground with hisrge staff.


    This time, the ground did not tremble. Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, a terrifying and unparalleled force suddenly erupted from the ground beneath Liu Shuang¡¯s feet.


    The force came so unexpectedly and so fiercely.


    Caught off guard, Liu Shuang was sted straight into the air.


    Like a rocket, he was suddenlyunched into the sky.


    Bang!


    Liu Shuang mmed directly into the ceiling of the great hall.


    A huge hole was sted in the ceiling by his head.


    And after being st up there, Liu Shuang didn¡¯t fall down; his head was stuck in the hole.


    Seeing Liu Shuang hanging from the ceiling of the great hall like a suspended corpse, everyone¡¯s eyes popped in disbelief. Was this even possible?


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, unable to deny that Elder Wu¡¯s control of power was precise enough to have Liu Shuang¡¯s head stuck up there.


    Liu An looked at Liu Shuang hanging from the ceiling of the great hall and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle wryly. Years ago, his master had turned the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall upside down, and after so many years, it seemed history was about to repeat itself.


    Just then, suddenly, a furious roar came, ¡°Who dares to cause trouble at the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall!¡± As they shouted, two figures rushed through the sky toward them.


    The experts of the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall showed joy on their faces at the sight of the neers.


    The arriving men were none other than the Elders Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin of the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall.


    Both were Emperor Realm experts.


    Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin quickly arrived at the scene, their eyes immediately drawn to Liu Shuang suspended from the hall¡¯s ceiling.


    It was too conspicuous not to notice, difficult for them to miss even if they wanted to.


    Their expressions darkened as they soared into the air, breaking through the great hall¡¯s ceiling and lowering Liu Shuang to the ground.


    Almost suffocated by being stuck, Liu Shuang felt an incredible indignity that sent his anger soaring. He pointed at Wu Qi and Yang Xiaotian, roaring, ¡°Elders, chop their dicks off for me!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the beauties of the Imperial City present in the hall couldn¡¯t help but *snort* uncontrobly.


    Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin leapt into action, furiously lunging at Wu Qi and Yang Xiaotian.


    In their eyes, the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall was a sacred and invible ce; they could not forgive anyone bold enough to cause trouble there!


    Therefore, neither of them held back in their attack, striking with full force.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian was just an eight or nine-year-old boy, they showed no mercy in their assault.


    Just as Wu Qianjin¡¯s palm force was about to strike Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi let out a cold hum, a hum like thunder, which exploded in the hall, shaking it violently. At the same time, he stepped sideways and positioned himself in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Then, he raised both palms and simultaneouslyunched them towards Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin.


    Two immensely vast waves of cold energy spontaneously emerged. One could see two enormous dark green palm prints rushing towards Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin.


    Originally impressive in momentum and extremely fierce, Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin were pushed back by the dark green palm prints, smashing heavily against the pirs of the great hall. The pirs of the great hall trembled.


    Cracks kept appearing.


    The entire hall was losing dust.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Liu Shuang and the masters from the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall looked on pale-faced as Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin slid down from the pirs.


    Lu Gang, Martial Emperor Quadruple Layer!


    Wu Qianjin, Martial Emperor Quintuple Layer!


    The two men joined forces, yet were blown away by a single strike.


    Liu Shuang and the others turned their heads swiftly, staring in horror at Wu Qi, full of wrinkles, who was standing in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Wu Qi stood there, like a towering mountain lying between heaven and earth, a force no one and no power could hope to ovee.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian cleared his throat, and Wu Qi turned and stepped back to his side, asking anxiously, ¡°Young master, are you alright?¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said I¡¯m fine.


    Wu Qi didn¡¯t yet know that Xiaotian had already tamed the Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python from the Red Moon Forest, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be so anxious.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Just then, a person walked into the hall, and upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, eximed in surprise.


    The neer was none other than Cheng Long, the prince of Divine Sea Country.


    ¡°What, Yang Xiaotian!¡± When Liu Shuang and the others heard that the young boy was Yang Xiaotian, they were shocked.


    Yang Xiaotian had imed the first ce in the Tiandou Academy¡¯s entrance examination,prehended the Sword Tower, and condensed three Sword


    Hearts in one day, his fame in Tiandou Imperial City was already significant.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I am Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a nce at what was below Liu Shuang.


    Just now, Liu Shuang had said he wanted to cut off their birds.


    Liu Shuang¡¯s lower body contracted sharply due to the fright from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s nce.


    ¡°Liu Shuang, is it? ording to the rules of the Empire Alchemy Hall, all pharmacists are entitled to purchase medicinal materials from any medicine hall. But Liu An told me you ordered all medicine halls in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom to refuse selling medicinal materials to us?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes coldly said.


    Suppressing the shock in his heart, Liu Shuang responded coldly, ¡°So what if I did, Yang Xiaotian? Let me tell you, the Empire Alchemy Hall has its rules, and so do our medicine halls in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°You want to buy medicinal materials from the medicine halls of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom? Fine!¡±


    ¡°If you can refine a top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without using a Medicine Cauldron, then you can choose whatever medicinal materials you want from the medicine halls of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.¡± The alchemists in the great hall looked at each other.


    It was well known that alchemy must rely on the use of a Medicine Cauldron. Without one, how could it be possible to make any medicine? Let alone refine a top-grade quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Liu Shuang was clearly making things difficult; this was simply not something a human could achieve.


    ¡°Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, is it? Very well,¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke up.


    All were astonished.


    Even Liu Shuang was greatly surprised, not expecting Yang Xiaotian to ept the challenge.


    Could Yang Xiaotian really refine a top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron?


    Liu Shuang¡¯s heart pounded wildly, but then he shook his head in denial. This was an absolute impossibility, even his master couldn¡¯t do it, so how could Yang Xiaotian possibly manage!

 Chapter 161: Disassemble Your Bones One by One

    Chapter 161: Disassemble Your Bones One by One


    Trantor: 549690339


    Just as Yang Xiaotian took out the fourteen medicinal ingredients required to concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Liu Shuang suddenly said, ¡°Wait!¡± Then, he added, ¡°You must use the materials we provided.¡±


    With that, he had his subordinates bring out the fourteen types of medicinal ingredients for the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Upon seeing the fourteen types of medicinal ingredientsid out on the ground, everyone frowned.


    The fourteen medicinal ingredients Liu Shuang¡¯s men brought out were all of poor age and quality, quite mixed and irregr. Such materials were the most difficult to use in refining elixirs.


    With these materials, let alone refining a premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, even producing a lower quality one would be difficult.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the fourteen medicinal ingredients on the ground but said nothing. With a flick of his hands, he made all fourteen ingredients leap into the air.


    Just as the ingredients took flight, suddenly, a radiant starlight burst forth from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, and the entire hall seemed to enter a starry sky. Behind Yang Xiaotian, the me of Star surged dramatically, ethereal and dreamlike.


    Upon seeing the mes behind Yang Xiaotian, all the pharmacists present trembled with awe, ¡°The me of Star!¡±


    Even Liu Shuang¡¯s eyes filled with shock. It was the me of Star, ranked seventy-third on the Abnormal Fire List. Yang Xiaotian had tamed even the me of Star.


    This!


    Amid the shock of Liu Shuang and the others, Yang Xiaotian waved a hand and the me of Star dispersed, bing like countless stars aze with fire, dotting the vault of the hall above.


    Then, specks of the me of Star fell from these celestial bodies, drifting on the wind. From afar, it looked like a sky filled with fiery stars, a sight so beautiful it stunned everyone present.


    This scene left a profound impact on everyone¡¯s hearts.


    As these starry mes descended, Yang Xiaotian made a beckoning gesture with one hand, and the fourteen medicinal ingredients began to revolve in suspension.


    As the ingredients slowly revolved, falling stars of me lightly touched them.


    The older ingredients received more of the celestial fire.


    Under the burning of the me of Star, the fourteen ingredients began to slowly melt.


    Witnessing this miraculous transformation, everyone held their breath, as if afraid of disturbing the melting process of the ingredients.


    These ingredients were like fire elves, quietly undergoing change.


    Liu Shuang, too, was dumbfounded as he watched the scene. He had never thought that materials could be melted in such a manner.


    Such technique was undoubtedly magical.


    Eventually, the fourteen medicinal ingredients began to melt one after the other.


    Once melted, the ingredients started to merge in sequence.


    With each merger of two ingredients, the crowd¡¯s hearts tightened, and each sessfulbination brought them relief.


    Ultimately, all fourteen ingredients fused together.


    However, this was the most critical step.


    Generally, once all ingredients were merged, the aid of a Cauldron Furnace was required to further refine the merged ingredients into an elixir.


    Just as everyone tensed up with nervousness, Yang Xiaotian suddenly spread his palm, and a howling wind brewed in the hall as if heralding an approaching cyclone, with countless Heaven and Earth Fires appearing.


    Then, these Heaven and Earth Fires slowly converged. To the astonishment of everyone watching, they formed a Cauldron Furnace!


    Indeed, it was a Cauldron Furnace formed out of the Heaven and Earth Fire.


    This Cauldron Furnace, lifelike and identical to a real one, cradled the fourteen medicinal ingredients.


    After that, specks of the celestial fire from the me of Star fell into the furnace, and with each drop, the fire within the Cauldron Furnace zed intensely.


    Soon, the fragrance of the medicine filled the air inside the Cauldron Furnace.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened.


    This worked?


    Using the Heaven and Earth Fire to construct a Medicine Cauldron!


    This is simply unheard of, unseen before.


    Many present were well-known pharmacists from the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, and they were all deeply shocked.


    Finally, under the burning of the me of Star, a fragrance belonging to the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid permeated the great hall, and this medicinal scent was so pure, so enchanting.


    Yang Xiaotian withdrew the Heaven and Earth Fire. A cluster of green liquid, like an elf, hovered before everyone.


    ¡°It¡¯s done!¡±


    Upon seeing the sessful refinement of the Foundation Building Spiritual


    Liquid, everyone felt a sense of joy.


    They had witnessed history, witnessed a miracle.


    No one had ever managed to refine the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron before, but now, Yang Xiaotian had done it, creating a new river.


    Moreover, everyone could see that the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in front of them was of the highest quality.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid before him and also heaved a sigh of relief. Before this, he had read about the techniques and methods of refining without a Medicine Cauldron in the Alchemy Secret Manual left by Hong Feng, but he had never tried it.


    Today was the first time!


    Yang Xiaotian turned to Liu Shuang, ¡°Now that I have refined the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, go ahead and open all the medicine cabs!¡±


    Liu Shuang¡¯s expression was ugly.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that Yang Xiaotian would really be able to refine the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron, and it was of the highest quality!


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn¡¯t deny it, and the old man beside Yang Xiaotian was staring at him intently. If he said no, he reckoned that old man¡¯s big wooden staff woulde crashing down on him.


    In the end, Liu Shuang, with resentment seething within him, opened every medicine cab in the great hall.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the opened medicine cabs and didn¡¯t hold back; he began a sweeping raid.


    ¡°Jade Liquid Ginseng!¡± ¡°Dragon Beard Fruit!¡±


    ¡°Ten Thousand Years Jade Toad!¡±


    Watching Yang Xiaotian snatch up one piece of rare medicinal herb after another from the medicine cab, Liu Shuang¡¯s heart twitched. These rare medicinal herbs were only acquired by their Grand Hall through enormous effort.


    Usually, the Medicine Hall was too reluctant to sell them.


    Now, they were all cheaply acquired by Yang Xiaotian.


    And Yang Xiaotian specifically picked out the rarest ones.


    Eventually, all the rare medicinal herbs in the medicine cabs werepletely plundered.


    Liu Shuang wanted to rush forward several times, but seeing Wu Qi¡¯s deadpan face, he ultimately stopped himself.


    ¡°I won¡¯t take your herbs for nothing.¡± After taking the medicinal herbs he needed, Yang Xiaotian tossed down arge pile of Gold Coins and left with Wu Qi, Liu An, and a few others.


    Liu Shuang, looking at the empty medicine cabs and wanting to cry without tears, suddenly kicked therge pile of Gold Coins flung down by Yang Xiaotian away and roared, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you motherfucker, this isn¡¯t over! I¡¯m going to squeeze your balls till they burst!¡±


    Those medicinal herbs were the umtion of decades by the Grand Hall, and now, all were gone!


    ¡°Where is my master?¡± Liu Shuang furiously asked another pharmacist.


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master went to the Imperial Capital, but he¡¯s on his way back and should return tomorrow,¡± the pharmacist trembled in response.


    Liu Shuang took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the rage in his heart, and looked in the direction Yang Xiaotian had left: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you wait for me, when my master returns, I¡¯m going to dismantle your bones one by one.¡±


    Hearing Liu Shuang¡¯s threat to disassemble Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bones one by one, the other pharmacists shivered. They knew Liu Shuang was not just talking.


    Once, a member of a great family from the Douhuang Kingdom had offended Liu Shuang, and Liu Shuang had disassembled his bones one by one.


    The pitiful screams of that family member still sent shivers down their spines when they recalled it..

 Chapter 162 - 162 Yang Chao and Huang Ying Arrive

    Chapter 162: Yang Chao and Huang Ying Arrive


    Trantor: 549690339


    ying the skin is excruciating, but removing bones, is even more painful and more terrifying.


    When Liu Shuang removed the bones of that family disciple, he first scraped the flesh off the bones with a knife, and then he detached the bones, an agony that was simply worse than entering hell.


    But in the end, the family of that disciple didn¡¯t dare to do anything to Liu Shuang.


    ¡°Steward sir, Yang Xiaotian is from Tiandou Academy,¡± a Pharmacist said hesitantly.


    ¡°What does it matter if he is from Tiandou Academy?¡± Liu Shuang said hatefully, ¡°Even Xie Hong and Fan Riquan wouldn¡¯t dare to run wild in my Pharmacist Hall! I would like to see if Xie Hong and Fan Riquan would dare to protect Yang Xiaotian when the timees!¡±


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left the Pharmacist Hall, the news that Yang Xiaotian and his men almost tore apart the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Pharmacist Hall quickly reached the ears of Zhong Yun, He Qingzhe, Chen Jun, Guo Wei, and others.


    Upon hearing the news, Zhong Yun sneered, ¡°Daring to run wild in the Pharmacist Hall, he¡¯s simply courting death! Yang Xiaotian, do you really think Xie Hong and Fan Riquan can protect you?¡±


    ¡°Even if you have an Emperor Realm powerhouse by your side, they can¡¯t protect you!¡±


    Originally, he wanted to kill Yang Xiaotian, but now, it seemed there was no need for him to take action.


    Liu Shuang and Wang Fan would definitely not let Yang Xiaotian off the hook.


    However, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder, how did the assassin he sent to kill Yang Xiaotian fail?


    As far as he knew, there was no one else on the fourth floor of the Sword Tower except for Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon learning the news that Yang Xiaotian almost tore apart the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Pharmacist Hall, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, and others were shocked, and couldn¡¯t help but take pleasure in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s predicament.


    ¡°This kid thinks that with a sister from True Dragon Divine Sect, and being valued by Xie Hong and Fan Riquan, he can even offend the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall, he¡¯s truly ignorant of death!¡± He Qingzhe shook his head andughed sarcastically, ¡°I heard that Liu Shuang has openly dered that he will disassemble Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bones one by one. How long do you think Yang Xiaotian will live?¡±


    Guo Weiughed, ¡°Lord Wang Fan will be back soon, right? It¡¯s only a few days until the New Year; I bet Yang Xiaotian won¡¯t live through it. However, I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to actually have subdued the me of Star! I wonder how he did it!¡±


    He Qingzhe scoffed, ¡°It¡¯s only an Abnormal Fire within the top hundred, not one of the top ten.¡±


    After leaving the Medicine Hall, Yang Xiaotian sent Wu Qi and the others back to their residence while he went to the Sword Tower to continue to ponder the fifthyer.


    Although Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t awaken the power of the Sword Tower when contemting the fourthyer, the students inside the tower still panicked and fled upon his arrival.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian felt quite helpless.


    He was the bright moon, yet s, he shone over mere ditches.


    On the fifth level of the Sword Wall, there indeed were five swordsmen.


    But Yang Xiaotian, upon close observation, noticed that each of the five swordsmen¡¯s swords were different.


    With his full concentration, he soon entered the world of the Sword Wall.


    The five swordsmen began to disy their swordsmanship.


    Their techniques, moreplex and faster than those on the fourthyer, were so quick that even Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t clearly make out their moves. Only after invoking the power of a Sword Heart was he finally able to discern their sword techniques clearly.


    This is the power of the Sword Heart, aiding in theprehension of swordsmanship and elerating the speed of sword skill cultivation.


    Soon, the five swordsmen finished their first demonstration.


    The techniques of the five were all different, executed ording to the elements of water, fire, earth, wood, and metal.


    With the help of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart, Yang Xiaotian memorized all five techniques in one go.


    The second time, the third time.


    With each observation, Yang Xiaotian gained new insights.


    Yang Xiaotian waspletely immersed in the world of the Sword Wall.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian had fully grasped the sword techniques of the fifthyer, it was already the next day.


    However, like with the fourthyer, although he had fully grasped the fifthyer of the Sword Wall, he had neither condensed a Sword Heart nor awakened the power of the Sword Tower.


    Having experienced the fourth level, Yang Xiaotian was not disappointed this time either, and instead he went to the sixth level to continue pondering the Sword Wall there.


    While Yang Xiaotian was reflecting on the sixth level Sword Wall, Wang Fan had already returned to Tiandou Imperial City. Seeing the hole in the roof of the Medicine Hall, his face took on a terribly grim shade.


    Because the roof of the Medicine Hall was made from extremely rare materials, and such materials were difficult to find, the hole in the roof of the grand hall had not yet been repaired.


    The hole still retained the shape of Liu Shuang¡¯s head.


    Sunlight streamed down through the hole.


    It illuminated the ground below, very brightly.


    Wang Fan stood under the hole, not uttering a word, and everyone was silent as if chilled to the bone, not daring to make a sound.


    Even the previously arrogant Liu Shuang was shrinking to one side, hardly able to stand straight.


    Wang Fan then went to the medicine cab, looked at the empty medicine cab, and still said nothing.


    When the atmosphere in the hall became unbearably oppressive, Wang Fan suddenly spoke up, ¡°Tell me about that old man.¡±


    Everyone was startled, then realized Wang Fan was referring to Wu Qi, who was with Yang Xiaotian.


    Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin recalled their encounter with Wu Qi and rted the details to Wang Fan.


    Wang Fan was surprised, ¡°Arge wooden staff? Like a wizard?¡±


    In his mind, an image suddenly shed of an elder who had been around a long time: ¡°Him! This old codger is still not dead?¡±


    Seeing the look on Wang Fan¡¯s face, everyone exchanged nces.


    ¡°Master, do you recognize that old man?¡± Liu Shuang stepped forward and tentatively asked.


    Wang Fan hummed in affirmation, ¡°It should be the Poison Witch.¡±


    ¡°The Poison Witch!¡± Upon hearing this, Lu Gang, Wu Qianjin, and others all showed a dramatic change in their facial expressions.


    Although they had never seen the Poison Witch mentioned by Wang Fan before, the name of the Poison Witch was well known to them, like a p of thunder.


    ¡°The Poison Witch?¡± Liu Shuang, however, looked puzzled.


    Wang Fan nced at Liu Shuang and said, ¡°It¡¯s normal for you not to know. The Poison Witch has been missing for almost sixty years now, and Lord Lu Yi is his senior disciple.¡±


    ¡°Lord Lu Yi!¡± Liu Shuang shivered.


    Lu Yi, of course, he knew, was an elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Dragon Empire and also a newly appointed elder, world-renowned and hailed as one of the legendary pharmacists in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Wang Fan spoke in a lingering tone, ¡°Although Lord Lu Yi is his senior disciple, as far as I know, Lord Lu Yi and the Poison Witch have long since be sworn enemies.¡±


    Liu Shuang and the others were taken aback.


    ¡°Master, then should we still go after Yang Xiaotian?¡± After a pause, Liu Shuang asked.


    Wang Fan sneered, ¡°To kill Yang Xiaotian, we need not lift a finger. When the timees, let the people from the Empire Pharmacist Hall deal with this matter.¡± He then looked at the hole in the roof, ¡°We won¡¯t repair this hole for now. When the experts from the Empire Pharmacist Halle down, this will serve as evidence.¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian emerged afterprehending the sixth level of the Sword Tower, three days had passed.


    Regrettably, even after reflecting on the sixth level of the Sword Tower, he still had not condensed a Sword Heart.


    Yang Xiaotian walked on the streets; today was New Year¡¯s Eve. Light snow was falling, it was somewhat cold, but the streets were filled with festive cheer. Just as Yang Xiaotian arrived back home, he saw from a distance a group of figures standing in front of his house.


    Seeing these figures, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, then overjoyed, ¡°Father, Mother!¡±


    Standing in front of the house door were indeed Yang Chao, Huang Ying, Luo Qing, Ate, Ali, and others.


    At that moment, he suddenly felt his eyes brim with tears of joy.

 Chapter 163: Do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?

    Chapter 163: Do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?


    Trantor: 549690339


    On New Year¡¯s Eve, Yang Xiaotian had not expected his parents to rush from Divine Sword City to Tiandou Imperial City.


    In addition to his parents, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Ate, Ali, and others were all there!


    ¡°Xiaotian!¡± Mother Huang Ying called out joyfully from a distance when she saw Yang Xiaotian, then walked quickly from the entrance and gave Yang Xiaotian a big hug.


    Huang Ying¡¯s face was reddened from the cold.


    But the breath she exhaled was warm.


    Yang Chao, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Ate, Ali, and the others walked quickly towards Yang Xiaotian with joy when they saw him.


    ¡°Xiaotian!¡± ¡°Young master!¡±


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian was surrounded by everyone.


    With everyone huddled around, the cold wind felt much less biting.


    ¡°Father, Mother, what brings you here?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile.


    His smile was very sweet.


    Yang Chaoughed and said, ¡°After finding out you secured the top rank in the Tiandou Academy enrollment assessment, your mother clung to me, insisting we bring her over.¡±


    ¡°So we all just came over.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Huang Ying gave Yang Chao a reproachful look, all coquettish, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same? You don¡¯t say it, but don¡¯t I know how much you miss our son?¡±


    Yang Chao smiled sheepishly.


    Yang Xiaotian felt a warm glow in his heart.


    The feeling of having family around is just wonderful.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go home,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to his parents with a smile.


    ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go home,¡± Huang Ying beamed with joy.


    Yang Xiaotian took hold of Huang Ying¡¯s hand and walked towards their house.


    But Yang Chaoughed and said, ¡°You little rascal, once you have your mother, you forget about your father.¡±


    Huang Ying gave Yang Chao a re and chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re such a big man; it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how to walk.¡±


    Everyoneughed.


    Upon returning to the house, Yang Xiaotian said with a smile to everyone, ¡°Tonight, we will eat meat heartily and drink to our heart¡¯s content.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Young Master!¡±


    The response was so loud that it shook the snowkes off the branches in the courtyard.


    So Yang Xiaotian instructed Ate and Ali to take some people to buy meat and wine, various delicious types of Spirit Beast meat, and the tastiest wine from Tiandou Imperial City.


    Just as he had said, that night, they ate meat heartily and drank to their heart¡¯s content.


    The snow was still floating down.


    But the courtyard was warm throughout.


    The light from the bonfire lit up every corner of the courtyard.


    Before long, the aroma of wine and meat filled the whole courtyard.


    It wasn¡¯t untilte at night that everyone dispersed.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in his own courtyard, pulling out the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique Manual and flipping through to the fifteenth move.


    Hong Feng had left a message thatpleting the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique would allow him to take charge of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, so no matter what cultivation technique he practiced or what swordsmanship divine ability he pondered, he always persisted in cultivating the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique without fail.


    ¡°One Sword Across the Sky!¡±


    This was the fifteenth move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    This move was not offensive but defensive.


    With one stroke of the sword, it cuts across heaven and earth, blocking all forces before him.


    If cultivated to Summit Mastery, with this sword unsheathed, no divine power could harm Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian inspected the fifteenth move carefully, recalled it once, and then swung the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, instantly sending out a mountain-like Sword Qi.


    When this sword was unleashed, the courtyard in front of Yang Xiaotian momentarily vanished from his sight.


    Everything was isted.


    Not until the sword¡¯s power faded did everything return to normal.


    Yang Xiaotian, recalling the strength and the mysteries of that sword, stood still for a moment before drawing his sword again.


    This sword was swifter than thest by a fraction, and its power even more dominating.


    After practicing for a while, Yang Xiaotian stopped and thought that tomorrow he would find a river to test this move. If a swing of his sword couldpletely sever the vast river, then this technique would be considered having reached minor achievement.


    ¡°Perhaps, it is time to inquire about the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered.


    Now, having reached the Martial King Realm, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could break through to the Martial Ancestor. Although he was not yet capable of taking charge of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, he wished to gain some preliminary understanding.


    Did Old Meng know about the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect?


    Thinking this, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°My Lord wishes to inquire about the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect?¡± The Azure Thunder Python was astonished.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    ¡°The Heaven-Prating Divine Sword!¡± The Azure Thunder Python was greatly shocked.


    Owing to its time spent mostly healing in the Medicine Cauldron these days, this was the first time it had seen the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian had been recognized by the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword over a year ago, and that he had already mastered the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique up to the fifteenth move, the Azure Thunder Python didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    As the king of Divine Beasts at the Divine Spirit Realm, it was well aware of what the ten Divine Swords signified.


    ¡°The Heaven-Prating Divine Sect is not located on the Azure God Continent,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python after a long pause.


    ¡°Not here?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised; although he had obtained the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, Hong Feng hadn¡¯t borated on the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, so he knew very little about it.


    The Azure Thunder Python nodded: ¡°The Heaven-Prating Divine Sect is on the Myriad Swords Continent, which is far away from our Azure God Continent.¡± Then it added, ¡°I do not know much about the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, but its power is extremely strong, probably stronger than the Sky-Stepping Sect.¡±


    ¡°Stronger than the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡± Yang Xiaotian was greatly shaken.


    The Sky-Stepping Sect was the foremost among the ten supreme sects in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    If it was stronger than the Sky-Stepping Sect, one could imagine the might of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    ¡°It should be stronger than the Sky-Stepping Sect,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said. After recalling for a moment, it continued, ¡°Although the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect is not in our Azure God Continent, there seems to be a small branch in the Buddha Source Empire. As for its specific location, I am not sure.¡±


    ¡°The Buddha Source Empire!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    The Azure God Continent was vast and boundless; apart from the Divine Dragon Empire, there were hundreds of empires, and the Buddha Source Empire was one of the well-known empires.


    However, the Buddha Source Empire was not close to the Divine Dragon Empire.


    The next day.


    As dawn broke, Yang Xiaotian stepped out of the courtyard, only to see Xiao Jin already waiting there early.


    ¡°Master, Happy New Year! I wish you a year of rapid strength advancement, contrary fate, and overwhelming invincibility,¡± Xiao Jin greeted as soon as he saw Yang Xiaotian, lifting its beastly legs and earnestly offering a volley of New Year¡¯s blessings.


    Seeing Xiao Jin¡¯sical demeanor, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and gave the little guy an extrarge red envelope.


    A momentter, he took Xiao Jin, his parents, Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and others out to enjoy the New Year¡¯s festivities.


    While Yang Xiaotian and his group were out celebrating the New Year, Liu Shuang was apanying a young man strolling leisurely through the Tiandou Imperial City.


    The young man was Zhang Hao, from one of the ten supreme sects of the Divine Dragon Empire, the Mahavairocana Divine Sect. He was a core disciple and also a direct disciple of an elder in the Mahavairocana Divine Sect.


    As they walked, Zhang Hao said, ¡°I heard that a few days ago, some brat almost sted you to death, didn¡¯t he?¡±


    Hearing Zhang Hao mention this incident, Liu Shuang¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment: ¡°That Yang Xiaotian is no ordinary person. Despite his young age, he has already formed three Sword Hearts, and also¡­¡±


    Zhang Hao scoffed, interrupting him: ¡°Just three Sword Hearts; such talent would at most make him an outer sect disciple in our Mahavairocana Divine Sect.¡±


    Then he suggested, ¡°How about I teach that Yang Xiaotian a lesson for you, break his legs perhaps?¡±


    Liu Shuang was just about to respond when he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixated on the scene ahead. There, Yang Xiaotian was walking towards them with Xiao Jin and the others.

 Chapter 164: Three Years Later, I Will Cut You Down!

    Chapter 164: Three Years Later, I Will Cut You Down!


    Trantor: 549690339


    Zhang Hao was puzzled, but then he heard Liu Shuang say with a face full of hatred, ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian!


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao suddenly turned his head to follow Liu Shuang¡¯s gaze.


    His eyesnded on Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Is this kid Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him!¡± Liu Shuang said with hatred in her voice, her eyes wishing she could skin Yang Xiaotian and pull his bones apart.


    Zhang Hao, carrying Liu Shuang, walked over to Yang Xiaotian and his party.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian also noticed Liu Shuang and Zhang Hao, and everyone stopped in their tracks.


    ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian, right?¡± Zhang Hao looked down on Yang Xiaotian coldly, ¡°You¡¯ve got some nerve, daring to barge into the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall and injure people.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to break your legs now!¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll destroy your cultivation as punishment!¡±


    As he said this, he suddenlyunched a w attack toward Yang Xiaotian.


    The force of this w seemed capable of splitting mountains and tearing the earth apart.


    Luo Qing¡¯splexion changed; this young man was definitely a Martial Emperor Expert, and a powerfully strong one at that.


    Just as Zhang Hao¡¯s w was about to hit Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, Wu Qi¡¯srge wooden staff swung out and struck Zhang Hao¡¯s sharp w with precision.


    ng!


    A sonorous ng resounded.


    Waves of force erupted wildly.


    Zhang Hao stepped back several times, looking at Wu Qi beside Yang Xiaotian with uncertain surprise.


    ¡°Was it you who defeated Lu Gang and Wu Qianjin?¡± He stared at Wu Qi coldly.


    Wu Qi¡¯s wrinkled old face was expressionless, ¡°Get lost!¡± he bellowed like thunder.


    Liu Shuang¡¯s mind exploded, and hisplexion changed as he stepped back in shock.


    However, Zhang Hao coldly snorted, levitated into the air, and his aura kept on climbing, astonishing power pressing down from all sides; the surrounding streets seemed to be crushed by a great mountain, and cracks began to appear on the ground.


    Passersby on the street scattered in rm.


    ¡°Martial Emperor tenyers,¡± Wu Qi said coldly, looking at Zhang Hao in the sky.


    Indeed, the Zhang Hao before them was a Martial Emperor of the tenyers.


    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes were filled with a piercing coldness, and he swung his long sword towards Wu Qi, Yang Xiaotian, and the others.


    Suddenly, Sword Qi burst forth like the light of stars, and like the Milky Way crashing down from the Nine Heavens, it bore down with a fury capable of obliterating heaven and earth against Wu Qi and Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Sword Falling From the Starry River!¡±


    He was unleashing the Supreme Divine Power, Star Nine Transformations, from the great Maha Divine Sect.


    Wu Qi, as he saw the Star Nine Transformations Sword Qi crashing down, swung hisrge wooden staff, and streaks of dark green chill like inverted cial rivers soared into the sky, meeting the oing Sword Qi.


    There was a massive shockwave.


    Zhang Hao was forced to step back once again.


    Twice unsessful, Zhang Hao¡¯s expression turned ugly; he pointed his long sword to the sky and said coldly, ¡°Old man, take my Summit Mastery Fire God Sword Technique!¡±


    Suddenly, mes surged all over his body, and as the long sword vibrated with a hum, it resonated between heaven and earth, and terrifying sword me exploded, condensing an image of a Fire God.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes narrowed.


    Once a Supreme Divine Power was cultivated to the Summit Mastery Realm, its divine force could be sentient. Once sentient, its power was far beyond what could be matched by the Perfection Realm.


    The young man before him had already cultivated the Supreme Divine Power of Fire God Sword Technique to the Summit Mastery Realm.


    This was the first time Yang Xiaotian had seen someone cultivate a Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery!


    ¡°Cut!¡±


    ¡°Tear!¡±


    Zhang Hao¡¯s voice sounded as if it came from the Nine Heavens.


    When he swung his long sword downwards, the spirit of the Fire God also wielded a fire sword and struck down.


    The sword light was astonishing, as if Heaven and Earth were being split in two.


    In the instant that the sword light fell, Luo Qing and the others lost color in shock, feeling as though their bodies were being cleaved in two.


    Wu Qi stood there, his body surging with dark green light, and hisrge wooden staff continuously twirled and swung, each rotation inevitably stirring upyers of dark green chill.


    From a distance, it looked like a terrifyingly immense dark green tornado was heading straight for Zhang Hao¡¯s Fire God Sword Technique.


    The booming explosions were incessant.


    Zhang Hao was shaken so forcefully that he retreated repeatedly in mid-air, stepping back a dozen times or so.


    Wu Qi also took several steps back, his robe billowing with forceful sounds.


    Zhang Hao¡¯s expression was ugly, he hadn¡¯t expected this unremarkable old man to possess such strength; his Fire God Sword Technique at the Summit Mastery Realm couldn¡¯t even quite affect his opponent.


    Just as Zhang Hao was about to strike again, suddenly, from afar, arge group of City Defense Guards rushed over.


    Seeing this, Zhang Hao had no choice but to stop, and he looked coldly at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, consider yourself lucky this time, but next time, I will surely y you!¡± He continued, ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯ve condensed three Sword Hearts that you are something special. In our Mahayana Divine Sect, there are plenty with four, even five Sword Hearts.¡±


    ¡°Your kind of talent is merely trash in our Mahayana Divine Sect.¡±


    In fact, Zhang Hao was deliberately exaggerating. Although the Mahayana Divine Sect had Sword Dao Geniuses who had condensed Sword Hearts, they were certainly not numerous, and someone like Yang Xiaotian who could condense three Sword Hearts was indeed rare.


    Upon hearing these words, Yang Xiaotian sneered, ¡°Just a Martial King, and you think your talent is so remarkable? By the time I reach your age, I will assuredly have attained the status of a Martial Saint!¡±


    Above the Martial King, there is the Martial Venerable, above the Martial Venerable is the Martial Emperor, and only after the Martial Emperores the Martial Saint with their sacred title.


    Zhang Hao couldn¡¯t help but be angered.


    Yang Xiaotian continued, ¡°By the time I reach your age, what¡¯s so difficult about condensing four or five Sword Hearts?¡± Then he asked, ¡°May I know how many Sword Hearts have you condensed now?¡±


    Zhang Hao choked, his face turning from red to purple.


    Although his Sword Dao was extraordinary, he had only managed to condense three Sword Hearts so far, and his third Sword Heart had only just formed.


    ¡°If I am trash, what does that make you?¡± said Yang Xiaotian.


    If not even trash, then what?


    It is dregs!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words were akin to a stabbing heart, like a sharp sword continuously piercing into Zhang Hao¡¯s heart.


    Zhang Hao had deliberately demeaned Yang Xiaotian earlier, attempting to break his Martial Dao spirit, but how could Yang Xiaotian not understand his ploy?


    Listenting to Yang Xiaotian calling himself less than trash, Zhang Hao flew into a rage.


    ¡°In three years¡¯ time, I will certainly y you!¡± Yang Xiaotian said, watching the furious Zhang Hao.


    The already enraged Zhang Hao burst intoughter upon hearing this, hisughter filled with ridicule, ¡°You will kill me in three years?¡±


    He was now at the tenthyer of the Martial King, and for Yang Xiaotian to kill him, he would need to be at least at the tenthyer of the Martial King as well.


    Currently, Yang Xiaotian was only a Martial King. After Martial Kinges Martial Ancestor, and only after reaching the tenthyer of the Martial Ancestor does one be a Martial Emperor.


    Yang Xiaotian was an entire twenty or so minor realms behind him. In three years, it was uncertain whether he could even break through to Martial Ancestor, yet now he was iming that he would kill him?


    ¡°Alright, in three years, I shall see how you will kill me! Remember my name, Zhang Hao, a core disciple of the Mahayana Divine Sect! I hope you live to see three years from now!¡± After finishing his words, Zhang Hao, carrying Liu Shuang, soared into the sky and left.


    The onlookers had various thoughts as they watched Zhang Hao¡¯s figure disappearing into the distance.


    Luo Qing¡¯s eyebrows furrowed deeply with worry.


    This young man turned out to be a core disciple of the Mahayana Divine Sect; offending a core disciple of the Mahayana Divine Sect was no small trouble for Yang Xiaotian.


    Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian and his group had no mood to continue their stroll and returned to their residence.


    The moment he returned to his courtyard, Yang Xiaotian asked the Azure Thunder Python if there was a way to quickly cultivate Supreme Divine Powers to achieve Summit Mastery.


    The Azure Thunder Python knew that Zhang Hao¡¯s disy of the Summit Mastery Fire God Sword Technique today had stimted Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°There is a way, but, it¡¯s extremely difficult! Extremely difficult!¡± the Azure Thunder Python pondered, repeating ¡®extremely difficult¡¯ twice.

 Chapter 165 - 165 Heading to Black Snow Mountain

    Chapter 165: Heading to ck Snow Mountain


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian, upon hearing that there truly was a method to swiftly cultivate Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery, couldn¡¯t help but show great joy on his face, ¡°What method?¡±


    He wanted to cultivate his Supreme Divine Power to the realm of Summit Mastery not just because of today¡¯s Zhang Hao, but mainly because of what Fan Riquan had said; to condense the finest Golden Core, he would need to bring at least ten Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery!


    To condense the top ten finest Golden Cores, he would need to cultivate twenty Supreme Divine Powers to the summit as well.


    Although his cultivation speed was fast, to bring twenty Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery would still take at least a decade or two.


    He certainly couldn¡¯t just stay stuck at the Martial King Realm and not break through, could he?


    Therefore, he had been searching for a method that could speed up the cultivation of Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery.


    The Azure Thunder Python, seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s happy expression, hesitated for a moment before speaking, ¡°Young Master, arge part of the Supreme Divine Skills you cultivate are rted to swordsmanship. If you want to quickly cultivate a Supreme Divine Power of Swordsmanship to Summit Mastery, you would need to find an Innate Sword Spirit.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, ¡°Innate Sword Spirit?¡±


    ¡°Exactly, an Innate Sword Spirit,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said. ¡°As long as you find an Innate Sword Spirit, refine it, and integrate it into your Supreme Divine Power, it will enhance the divine force of your Swordsmanship Divine Ability.¡±


    ¡°Thus, you can quickly cultivate your Supreme Divine Power to the realm of Summit Mastery.¡±


    ¡°However, Innate Sword Spirits are exceedingly rare, so rare. The birthce of an Innate Sword Spirit must be a ce that is constantly enveloped in Sword Qi and has Innate Spiritual Roots; only then can an Innate Sword Spirit be born.¡±


    A ce enveloped in Sword Qi.


    A ce with Innate Spiritual Roots.


    That is to say, both these conditions are indispensable.


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    It seemed that, like the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the birth conditions of an Innate Sword Spirit were extremely specific, making them exceedingly rare.


    ¡°I do know of a ce where there might be an Innate Sword Spirit,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits lifted, ¡°What ce?¡±


    ¡°ck Snow Mountain,¡± the Azure Thunder Python replied.


    ck Snow Mountain!


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised, ¡°The ck Snow Mountain with the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that very ck Snow Mountain,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said. ¡°I once entered the depths of ck Snow Mountain and encountered a very strong Sword Array. It was an Innate Sword Formation, full of incredibly dense Innate Sword Qi, and the Innate Spiritual Energy there was also very rich.¡±


    ¡°Although I couldn¡¯t break through the Sword Formation, based on my judgment, an Innate Sword Spirit should have been born inside,¡± the Azure Thunder Python reminisced.


    ck Snow Mountain, huh? Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    If that¡¯s the case, he would enter ck Snow Mountain in a few days.


    He had originally nned to retrieve the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure from ck Snow Mountain after the year¡¯s end.


    ¡°That Innate Sword Formation, even you couldn¡¯t get in?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The Azure Thunder Python nodded, his expression serious, ¡°The Innate Sword Qi within that Sword Formation is tremendously terrifying. A hundred years ago, I tried to enter but was sted out within less than two breaths.¡±


    Blown out in less than two breaths!


    ¡°What about with your current strength?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked. ¡°Could you break in now?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python shook his head, ¡°Even if my injuries werepletely healed, at most, I could only enter the periphery of the Sword Formation,pletely unable to break into its deepest part.¡±


    Moreover, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s injuries had not yet fully healed.


    Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian woke up Medicine Cauldron.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to enter the deepest part of the Innate Sword Formation, Master Ding immediately pped the table and said there was no problem.


    Having received an affirmative reply from Master Ding, joy swelled in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    As long as Master Ding said there was no problem, there definitely wouldn¡¯t be any.


    After all, if he could withstand the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribtion Divine me, then surely the Innate Sword Array¡¯s Sword Qi would pose no issue.


    ¡°Xiaotian, do you have any news about the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Medicine Cauldron asked.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said no.


    These days, he had already had people inquiring into the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, but there had been no news whatsoever.


    Even singleyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was rare in this world, let alone sixfold.


    ¡°If there is no news in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, then send people to inquire in the surrounding imperial kingdoms, or else send someone to the Divine Dragon Empire,¡± Medicine Cauldron suggested.


    It was now in urgent need of sixfold and higher Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Yang Xiaotian could only give a wry smile; he too wanted to find the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water as soon as possible. With it, Medicine Cauldron would be able to help him tame the Iceme Qilin, the Super Divine Beast in the Red Moon Forest.


    But there was nothing he could do, as there were no leads to any sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll send someone to the surrounding imperial kingdoms to inquire right away,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Luo Qing had brought his trained Shadow Squad with him this time, and they coulde in handy.


    However, Yang Xiaotian also acutely felt the insufficiency of his own forces.


    Although in the past year he had trained his thousand ves and their strength was not weak, they were only in the Innate Realm, and not one of them was a Martial King.


    A thousand Innate Realm fighters might be impressive in the Divine Sea Country, but they were negligible in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, not to mention in front of the Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    He needed to work hard to foster his own powerbase.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned Luo Qing and instructed him to dispatch his subordinates to inquire about the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water in the surrounding imperial kingdoms. In addition, he asked Luo Qing to gather the experts from his former Red Saber Sect.


    Though the Red Saber Sect had been destroyed by the Tuoluo Sect, many had escaped, and if these people could be gathered, they could form a significant force.


    Understanding Yang Xiaotian¡¯s urgent need to develop his forces, Luo Qing respectfully assured, ¡°Young Master, rest assured, I will do my best to recall the disciples of the Red Saber Sect.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and then contacted Crown Prince Liu Yuan of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom and the legendary Pharmacist Jiang Yu of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. He asked them to dispatch people to seek out information on the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Right now, for the sake of finding the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he would utilize any avable force.


    Finding sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water meant he could tame a Super Divine Beast like the Iceme Qilin, which would effectively add a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse to his side.


    So, he had to find the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water no matter what.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian went nowhere but stayed in the courtyard to practice the Swordsmanship passed down from the Sword Tower and to spend time with his parents.


    Although he hadprehended up to the sixth level of the Sword Tower, of the six sets of Swordsmanship, he had only achieved Minor Achievement. Before heading to ck Snow Mountain, he aimed to advance all six sets of Swordsmanship and the reward¡ªthe Skywalking Thousand Swords¡ªto the realm of Great Aplishment.


    To heal the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s wounds as quickly as possible, Yang Xiaotian not only fed it a superior Endless Life Pill every day but also had it swallow a mouthful of Tribtion Thunder Water daily.


    Under the effects of the Tribtion Thunder Water, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s healing elerated significantly. What would have required two or three years for a full recovery now seemed possible within three to four months.


    Ten dayster.


    Spring returned to thend.


    It was then that Yang Xiaotian set off for ck Snow Mountain.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t bring anyone with him; the Azure Thunder Python and Medicine Cauldron were sufficient for his needs.


    Before leaving, worried he wouldn¡¯t be able to return in time for the monthly assessment, he and Fan Riquan requested leave.


    While Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python were en route to ck Snow Mountain, another group was also heading there. This group was led by Zhang Hao of the Mohe Divine Sect, apanied not only by Zhang Hao¡¯s master Chen Lingyun but also several experts from the Mohe Divine Sect.

 Chapter 166 - 166 How to Escape Far Away

    Chapter 166: How to Escape Far Away


    Trantor: 549690339


    Zhang Hao hade to Tiandou Imperial City from the Divine Dragon Empire, and it certainly wasn¡¯t to teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson.


    He and his master had appeared in Tiandou Imperial City, specifically for the Dragon Vein of ck Snow Mountain.


    Their confirmation of the Dragon Vein in ck Snow Mountain was the result of an extensive search.


    ¡°Guarding the Dragon Vein is a powerful ck Flood Dragon King, likely at the level of the Great Emperor Realm. Everyone, once we enter ck Snow Mountain, we must be careful,¡± Chen Lingyun said. ¡°When the timees, I will deal with that ck Flood Dragon King, and you will take the Dragon Vein.¡±


    Zhang Hao and the others agreed.


    All of them were strong practitioners above the Emperor Realm, flying through the air with great speed. They quickly entered the Red Moon Forest and moved closer to ck Snow Mountain.


    ¡°Are you sure that old man with Yang Xiaotian is the Poison Witch?¡± Chen Lingyun suddenly asked on the way.


    Zhang Hao was taken aback before hurriedly responding, ¡°Yes, Master, ording to what Wang Fan said, the old man with Yang Xiaotian is indeed the Poison Witch from those years.¡±


    Chen Lingyun¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Once we obtain the Dragon Vein and return from ck Snow Mountain, I will personally apprehend Elder Wu and bring him back to the Mahayana Spirit Sect for punishment!¡±


    Back in the day, the Poison Witch had poisoned and killed quite a few disciples of the Mahayana Spirit Sect.


    This was an ount the Mahayana Spirit Sect had never forgotten.


    ¡°But what about Lord Lu Yi?¡± Zhang Hao hesitated.


    ¡°Lu Yi and Elder Wu have now turned against each other, and he will no longer concern himself with Elder Wu¡¯s life or death,¡± Chen Lingyun said. ¡°Previously, out of respect for Lu Yi, we didn¡¯ty hands on Elder Wu. Now, without Lu Yi¡¯s protection, we can crush him however we want.¡±


    ¡°What about Yang Xiaotian?¡± asked Zhang Hao.


    ¡°We will not touch Yang Xiaotian. When the people from the Empire Pharmacist Hall arrive, they will deal with him,¡± Chen Lingyun said.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian was practicing his swordsmanship while on the move.


    After hard training at home for half a month, he had already mastered all six sword techniques of the sixth floor of the Sword Tower to a great level of achievement.


    Now, only the Skywalking Thousand Swords remained at the Minor Achievement Realm.


    One could fly through the air only upon reaching the Martial Emperor level, but if he could cultivate the Skywalking Thousand Swords to the Perfection Realm, he could leverage its divine power to fly with his sword while performing it.


    In the future, this would allow him to travel much faster.


    Standing by the bonfire, Yang Xiaotian waved his hands, and the Sword Qi of the Skywalking Thousand Swords wrapped around his body, like a thousand birds in flight, or fierce beasts soaring through the sky, like a fierce wind rushing to the heavens, or a gentle rain floating along.


    The Azure Thunder Python, now in human form, sat by the bonfire, watching Yang Xiaotian practice his swordsmanship, filled with amazement.


    It had lived long enough in the Red Moon Forest and had seen many masters of the Sword Dao, but in terms of talent and aptitude, not one couldpare to Yang Xiaotian.


    Even Zhu Jing,uded as the number one Sword Dao Genius of the Zhu Family, could notpare.


    Thinking of Zhu Jing filled the Azure Thunder Python with a murderous rage.


    Once its injuries were healed, it vowed to ascend upon the Zhu Family and wreak havoc.


    Taking a moment to catch its breath, the Azure Thunder Python looked at Yang Xiaotian practicing the sword, feeling grateful. If not for Yang Xiaotian, it would have died long ago.


    ¡°By following this young fellow, you¡¯ll feel how lucky you are in the future,¡± Medicine Cauldron¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°This young fellow will be something beyond your imagination¡ªan utmost existence.¡±


    An utmost existence!


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s breathing quickened, ¡°Does Master Ding mean that the young master will be a supreme Heavenly God in the future?!¡±


    Above Martial God lies the Heavenly God Realm.


    For a being like the Azure Thunder Python, the Heavenly God was an unattainable existence.


    ¡°A Heavenly God?¡± Medicine Cauldronughed but did not exin further.


    The Azure Thunder Python would understand in time.


    After cultivating the Skywalking Swordsmanship for a while, the night deepened unknowingly. Yang Xiaotian sat down to begin his cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The night passed.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python continued on their journey.


    The Azure Thunder Python manifested its true form as the King of Divine Beasts, with Yang Xiaotian sitting atop its head as they flew.


    From a distance, the Azure Thunder Python resembled a terrifyingly fast-moving mountain.


    Even the head of the Azure Thunder Python was asrge as a small hill; sitting on it, Yang Xiaotian was just a tiny dot, barely noticeable unless one looked closely.


    As the Azure Thunder Python flew high in the sky, its presence as the King of Divine Beasts enveloped the area. All the fierce beasts of the Red Moon Forest cowered on the ground in fear, not daring to look up.


    The Azure Thunder Python was like an emperor surveying its kingdom.


    Long after the Azure Thunder Python and Yang Xiaotian had left, the fierce beasts of the Red Moon Forest still did not dare to rise; when they finally did, they fled far away.


    Following behind from the ck Snow Mountain were Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and others who also noticed the unusual behavior of these fierce beasts.


    ¡°Strange, why are all these fierce beasts fleeing so far away?¡± Zhang Hao wondered in surprise.


    Chen Lingyun was puzzled as well.


    It seemed something terrifying had caused these fierce beasts to flee in panic.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful,¡± Chen Lingyun warned the group.


    The group agreed.


    However, as they approached ck Snow Mountain, they encountered no attacks along the way.


    By now, Yang Xiaotian had already entered ck Snow Mountain before Chen Lingyun, Zhang Hao, and the others.


    Although spring had returned to thend, ck Snow Mountain was still bitterly cold, with blizzards more formidable than Yang Xiaotian had imagined.


    Huge swirling blizzards swept across the sky constantly.


    Their force was so strong that Yang Xiaotian struggled to stand still.


    Moreover, these ck snowstorms, when touching his body, were icy to the core, chilling to the bone and soul. Even as Yang Xiaotian circted his True Yuan, he still felt as if his blood was freezing.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian summoned the me of Star.


    The me of Star floated behind Yang Xiaotian, and only then did the chill abate.


    Man and beast continued to fly forward.


    Within ck Snow Mountain, there were also many powerful ice-element fierce beasts lurking, but with the Azure Thunder Python present, these powerful beasts did not dare to seek death by approaching.


    Thus, as they delved deeper into ck Snow Mountain, Yang Xiaotian encountered no ambushes from fierce beasts.


    ck Snow Mountain was vast, referred to as a mountain but actually a continuous rangeposed of countless peaks. It took Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python over an hour to reach their destination.


    Gazing at the towering ck peak that reached into the clouds, the Azure Thunder Python said, ¡°That Innate Sword Formation is inside the belly of this mountain.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, then he and the Azure Thunder Python sted open the cave entrance he had sealed off years ago and entered the belly of the mountain.


    Inside the mountain, it was not as cold as outside, but rather warm, and even the wind had disappeared.


    Man and beast kept moving inward.


    After about half an hour of walking, the previously dark passage suddenly brightened.


    Although he had yet to see the Innate Sword Formation, Yang Xiaotian could already feel a surging power of Sword Qi like the sea.


    Yang Xiaotian was inwardly astonished.


    The further forward they walked, the stronger the Sword Qi became, making even Yang Xiaotian feel almost submerged in Sword Qi.


    The Sword Heart within Yang Xiaotian began to shine, and he walked forward step by step.


    Finally, at the bottom of the belly of the mountain, they saw the Innate Sword Formation mentioned by Old Meng.


    Gazing at the Innate Sword Formation before him, Yang Xiaotian was stunned.

 Chapter 167 - 167 Guo Wei Awakens the Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God

    Chapter 167: Guo Wei Awakens the Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God


    Trantor: 549690339


    Sword Qi filled the sky and the ground as far as the eye could see.


    Large, small, thick, thin.


    The Sword Qi flew wildly through the sky.


    Yang Xiaotian had never seen so much Sword Qi before.


    The Sword Qi that spouted from Tiandou Academy¡¯s Sword Tower was already astonishing, butpared to the omnipresent Sword Qi before him now, it was merely a handful.


    These Sword Qi pervaded the inner space at the bottom of the mountain, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could reach.


    When Yang Xiaotian attempted to walk forward, suddenly, those Sword Qi surged toward him like a tide.


    Yang Xiaotian hastily retreated in fright.


    The Azure Thunder Python frowned upon seeing the sky full of Sword Qi, recognizing thatpared to a hundred years ago, the might of the Innate Sword Formation¡¯s Sword Qi had indeed grown stronger.


    ¡°Master Ding,¡± Yang Xiaotian called out.


    Instantly, the Medicine Cauldron emitted a burst of light, enveloping Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian walked forward again.


    The boundless Sword Qi surged toward Yang Xiaotian once more like a tide.


    These Sword Qi numbered in the millions, perhaps tens of millions.


    The sight of millions of Sword Qi charging was indeed a shock to behold.


    Even with the protection of the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s power, the sight of millions of Sword Qi hurtling towards him still left Yang Xiaotian rigid with a wildly beating heart, and even the Azure Thunder Python tensed up.


    Boom!


    A resounding thunderous roar echoed continuously.


    Sword aura exploded forth.


    Yang Xiaotian felt as if he had suddenly lost his hearing.


    The whole mountain seemed to shake.


    Even heaven and earth trembled.


    After a long time, the thunderous roar faded away.


    Yang Xiaotian looked around and saw millions of Sword Qi sted away, leaving an empty space of a hundred meters before him.


    The Azure Thunder Python was also dumbfounded.


    It had experienced the terror of the Innate Sword Formation¡¯s Sword Qi before; back then, it had been sted away in a single breath.


    But now, with the protection of the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s power, not only was Yang Xiaotian unharmed, he had even repelled those Sword Qi.


    ¡°Go in!¡± the voice of the Medicine Cauldron sounded.


    Yang Xiaotian came back to his senses and stepped forward.


    However, only a few steps in, millions of Sword Qi charged at him once again.


    This time, it was even more ferocious.


    It came crashing down like a mountain copsing and the sea overturning.


    It was as if Yang Xiaotian¡¯s previous actions had provoked the boundless fury of the millions of Sword Qi.


    Boom!


    The tremendous roar sounded again.


    When everything calmed down, the millions of Sword Qi were once again sent flying, while Yang Xiaotian remained standing firm.


    Yang Xiaotian finally let down his guard and walked forward again.


    Every few steps, millions of Sword Qi wouldunch a furious barrage.


    But no matter how fiercely the millions of Sword Qi attacked, they could not break through the protection of the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s power, nor could they st Yang Xiaotian away.


    Eventually, Yang Xiaotian reached the deepest part of the Innate Sword Formation.


    He saw a giant sword emanating soaring mes before his eyes.


    This giant sword was not a physical entity, but an Innate Sword Spirit nurtured by an Innate Spiritual Root.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the deepest part of the Sword Formation, the Innate Sword Spirit fiercely shed at him with a speed so swift that Yang Xiaotian only caught a glimpse of the sword light before the Sword Spirit struck him.


    But if even millions of Sword Qi could not break through the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s protective power, how could a mere Innate Sword Spirit?


    ¡°Control it with the Controlling Sword Technique I taught you!¡± Master Ding said.


    Yang Xiaotian immediately used the Controlling Sword Technique passed down to him by Master Ding, and like the time he controlled the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, he tried to control the Innate Sword Spirit before him.


    Under the operation of the Controlling Sword Technique, the Innate Sword Spirit was bound, unable to break free no matter how much it struggled and bombarded.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to control the Innate Sword Spirit, within Tiandou Academy¡¯s Sword Tower, Guo Wei, who wasprehending the Sword Wall on the second floor, suddenly burst into divine light. Strands of Divine Light emanated from the depths of his blood.


    His astonishing divine might swept across heaven and earth.


    The Sword Tower trembled.


    All the students inside the Sword Tower were shocked.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He Qingzhe on the fourteenth floor was shocked. Could it be Yang Xiaotian has awakened the power of the Sword Tower again?


    Soon, news came out that Guo Wei had awakened the Ancient Dragon God bloodline, and furthermore, he hadprehended the second Sword Wall, condensing out a second Sword Heart.


    As soon as the news was released, Tiandou Academy was in an uproar.


    The bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God is one of the ten strongest bloodlines from ancient times!


    ¡°Good! Good!¡± Zhong Yun burst into excitedughter upon hearing the news. Guo Wei was the reincarnation of an Ancient Divine Spirit, cultivated the Ancient Strongest Body Refining Art, was an unparalleled Sword Dao genius, and now had awakened the bloodline of the Dragon God, one of the ancient top ten bloodlines¡ªhow strong must he be!


    Meanwhile, inside ck Snow Mountain, after the Innate Sword Spirit had exhausted itself, Yang Xiaotian began to refine the Innate Sword Spirit using the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The Primordial Dragon Art, truly one of the Ancient Dragon n¡¯s top cultivation techniques, even the Innate Sword Spirit couldn¡¯t resist. It quickly dissolved into strands of purest Sword Spirit Qi under the grinding of the True Essence Dragon and merged into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian felt a change in his Swordsmanship Divine Ability.


    While Yang Xiaotian was refining the Innate Sword Spirit, Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and a few others worked together to kill the ice-type Fierce Beasts in ck Snow Mountain, gradually approaching the depths of the mountain.


    However, the ice-type Fierce Beasts in ck Snow Mountain were simply too numerous to exterminate. Three dayster, the group finally reached the Dragon Vein.


    Just as they were about to extract the Dragon Vein, suddenly, a huge beast resembling a ck Dragon burst forth.


    The overwhelming might of the Fierce Beast hit them like a wave.


    Every one of them was startled.


    ¡°Great Emperor pinnacle!¡± Chen Lingyun¡¯s brows furrowed as he looked at the ck Flood Dragon King who was asrge as a mountain.


    This ck Flood Dragon King was at the pinnacle of the Great Emperor level!


    ¡°You go for the Dragon Vein; I¡¯ll deal with the ck Flood Dragon King!¡± Chen Lingyun said to Zhang Hao and the others. As he spoke, his long sword swung out, Saint Power surged wildly, and his Sword Qi, like a rainbow, bombarded the ck Flood Dragon King.


    The ck Flood Dragon King let out a roar to the heavens and lunged at Chen Lingyun and Zhang Hao¡¯s group all at once.


    Deep within the mountain belly, the swordlike Innate Sword Spirit had now shrunk to the size of a thumb.


    After several days of refining, Yang Xiaotian had almostpletely refined the Innate Sword Spirit.


    At that moment, his body emanated Sword Light continuously.


    Hum!


    The instant hepletely refined the Innate Sword Spirit, Sword Qi ebbed and flowed around his body, and once again, from his chest and heart area, burst forth a Nine-Colored Sword Aura.


    The Innate Sword Spirit was not only formed from Sword Spirit Qi but also contained thews of the Sword Dao. Yang Xiaotian hadprehended thesews while refining the Innate Sword Spirit, finally condensing out a fourth Nine-Colored Sword Heart!


    Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, a joyful expression on his face. This time, by refining the Innate Sword Spirit, not only had he elevated his Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and Shocking Heaven Sword Art to the level of Summit Mastery.


    He had also condensed out the fourth Strongest Sword Heart!


    It was indeed an unexpected joy.


    Suddenly, from afar, a strong surge of power was felt.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled. What was that?


    ¡°Saint Realm beings are shing,¡± Master Ding spoke.


    Yang Xiaotian got up and stepped outside the Innate Sword Formation.


    ¡°Congrattions, young master, on refining the Innate Sword Spirit!¡± eximed the Azure Thunder Python as it greeted him, beaming with joy.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s go out and see.¡±


    But before leaving, he did not forget to take the Innate Spiritual Root from the underground. This Spiritual Root that could nurture an Innate Sword Spirit was a tremendous treasure and naturally shouldn¡¯t go to waste.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python left the cave and flew towards the direction of the strong power fluctuations.


    From a distance, they saw the huge ck Flood Dragon King.

 Chapter 168: You Are Not Worthy of Knowing Yet

    Chapter 168: You Are Not Worthy of Knowing Yet


    Trantor: 549690339


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian saw Chen Lingyun, who was exchanging blows with the ck Flood Dragon King.


    He saw Zhang Hao and several other masters from the Mohist Sect.


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    At this moment, under Chen Lingyun¡¯s attack, who was at thete stage of the first level of the Saint Realm, the ck Flood Dragon King was already covered in wounds.


    Although the ck Flood Dragon King, with its peak King Beast bloodline, was an extraordinarybatant, it had yet to break through to the Saint Realm. Compared to Chen Lingyun, who was at thete stage of the Saint Realm¡¯s first level, it was far inferior.


    Had it not developed dragon scales with superb defense, it would have likely been in by Chen Lingyun already.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Hao and the several masters of the Mohist Sect were bombarding the distant ground. As Zhang Hao and the others struck, astonishing streams of Dragon Spirit Energy burst forth from the depths of the earth.


    Feeling this Dragon Spirit Energy, the Azure Thunder Python eximed in surprise, ¡°Is this a Dragon Vein?!¡±


    Dragon Vein!


    That is to say, a spirit vein of the dragon lineage.


    Spirit Veins are veins of spirit stones; low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade spirit stonesmonly used by those above the Emperor Realm are all cut from spirit veins.


    Even the smallest of spirit veins could at least be cut into one hundred thousand spirit stones.


    Larger spirit veins could even be carved into a million spirit stones.


    There were spirit veins beneath the depths of ck Snow Mountain!


    And it was a spirit vein with dragon energy.


    Spirit veins with dragon energy were many times more precious than ordinary ones.


    For example, Yang Xiaotian, who cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, could greatly increase his cultivation speed if he could devour the dragon energy within a dragon vein, and also use the dragon energy to temper his body.


    Of course, the benefits of dragon energy were far from just these.


    Seeing that there were Dragon Veins under the earth ahead, Yang Xiaotian was simrly greatly moved.


    You should know that before, when he won first ce in the Tiandou Academy enrollment assessment, he was rewarded with only one hundred low-grade spirit stones, yet the smallest spirit vein consisted of one hundred thousand spirit stones!


    Even many of the great families in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom might not be able to produce one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.


    Hearing the voice of the Azure Thunder Python, Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and the others all looked over.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotian, Zhang Hao was greatly surprised, having not anticipated that Yang Xiaotian would alsoe to ck Snow Mountain.


    ¡°Kill him!¡± Chen Lingyun, engaged in battle with the ck Flood Dragon King, recognized the boy before him as Yang Xiaotian and immediately said to Zhang Hao.


    Zhang Hao agreed, quickly flying over to Yang Xiaotian. As he hovered in the air, he looked down at Yang Xiaotian with augh,ughing arrogantly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, who would have thought we would meet here; it seems we really are fated.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, we are fated.¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Zhang Hao, who wasughing so arrogantly, and smiled.


    At this moment, the Azure Thunder Python transformed into a human form, an utterly ordinary middle-aged man.


    Zhang Hao nced at the Azure Thunder Python standing beside Yang Xiaotian and smiled, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, is this the subordinate you brought along? You should bring more people with you, it would be safer that way. But then again, besides a Poison Witch, everyone else around you are just rejects.¡±


    At this, he summoned his long sword, ¡°You said you would y me in three years, but unfortunately, you won¡¯t be waiting for three years.¡±


    He stroked the de, and it shone brightly: ¡°This sword, named Clear Spring, was forged by me through a thousand hammers and a hundred quenches. It is an exceptional sword indeed, and for you to die under this Clear Spring, you can rest easy.¡±


    Having said that, he thrust his long sword instantaneously, aiming straight for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    He did not use any Supreme Divine Power, just an ordinary sword strike.


    In his view, to kill Yang Xiaotian, an ordinary sword stroke was enough.


    Even his ordinary sword strike could not be withstood by an ordinary Martial Emperor, let alone a Martial King.


    Hum!


    The Clear Spring emitted a cold and flickering light.


    Just as Zhang Hao¡¯s long sword was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, it stopped right in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Without knowing when, the Azure Thunder Python had mped Zhang Hao¡¯s long sword between two of its fingers.


    Zhang Hao was startled, his face grew cold, and he circted his True Yuan throughout his body, shook his arm, and shouted, ¡°Let go!¡±


    Just as he thought he could send the middle-aged man before him flying, he realized that the long sword in his hand remainedpletely motionless!


    His long sword was as if it had been thrust into the Ancient Divine Mountain, utterly immovable.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± At that moment, the Azure Thunder Python let out a cold snort, flicked a finger, and suddenly, Zhang Hao was sent flying as if struck by an ancient divine thunder, his whole body shooting backward.


    His peerless famed sword, Clear Spring, nged chaotically, breaking into countless pieces that shot off in all directions, some burying into tree trunks, others into mountain walls.


    Soil and stones from the mountain wall sprayed like rain.


    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know how many ancient trees he had knocked down before crashing to the ground, coughing uprge mouthfuls of blood.


    Hey nted against a tree trunk, looking in horror at the Azure Thunder Python standing beside Yang Xiaotian.


    He had experienced the Poison Witch beside Xiaotian, and he was confident he could battle with the Poison Witch, but the middle-aged man before him was at least ten times stronger than the Poison Witch.


    Who was this middle-aged man?


    Apart from the Poison Witch, Xiaotian actually had such a powerful expert beside him!


    How did Xiaotian manage to enlist such an expert!


    To be able to injure him severely with one hit, he must be at least a Martial Venerable, and even within the Tiandou Imperial Family, there weren¡¯t many Martial Venerable strongmen.


    ¡°What!¡± Chen Lingyun and the others saw Zhang Hao being struck and sent flying with a flick, and they couldn¡¯t help but be shocked, all turning to look at the Azure Thunder Python.


    Apart from Chen Lingyun, the four other Mahayana Sect experts all stopped and flew towards this side.


    The Mahayana Sect experts who came this time, with Zhang Hao being the weakest among them, these four were in the Martial Venerable Realm, and not just ordinary Martial Venerables¡ªone of them had even reached the seventhyer of the Martial Venerable Realm.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± The truly powerful expert at the seventhyer of the Martial Venerable Realm fixed his gaze on the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°Who I am, you¡¯re not worthy to know,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python indifferently.


    Indeed, considering his lofty status, these people from the Mahayana Sect truly weren¡¯t worthy to know.


    Not to mention Martial Venerables, even Chen Lingyun, who was at the firstyer of the Martial Saint Realm, might not be qualified to ask who he was.


    Hearing this, the members of the Mahayana Sect were immediately filled with rage. The Mahayana Sect was one of the ten Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire, and as Senior Executors, even in the Tiandou Imperial Pce, the Tiandou Emperor would have to greet them personally.


    This middle-aged man had the audacity to say they weren¡¯t worthy to know!


    They refused to believe that a middle-aged man by Xiaotian¡¯s side could have a higher status than the Tiandou Emperor.


    ¡°Fine, then let me experience your great skill and see if I am indeed unworthy to know!¡± eximed the seventhyer Martial Venerable high expert forcefully, as heunched a ferocious punch.


    This punch seemed to have the might to rip through the heavens and shatter the earth.


    As the force of his punch surged forward, countless sand and dust were swept up, forming a terrifying sandstorm.


    This was the Supreme Divine Power of the Mahayana Sect, Torrential Punch.


    Cultivated to the height of Summit Mastery, a punch was thrown out like a massive torrential flood, an endless stream of force, sending people flying hundreds of miles with a single punch.


    Faced with the opponent¡¯s Torrential Punch force, the Azure Thunder Python didn¡¯t even have the interest to counter, simrly flicking a finger.


    A flick that appeared devoid of any force, met the Mahayana Sect expert¡¯s punch.


    The Mahayana Sect expert felt as if struck by an unimaginably terrifying force, sent flying and directly smashing into a distant mountain wall.


    Then, he broke through the mountain wall, entering the belly of the mountain.


    Within the belly of the mountain, the roar was still thunderous, echoing continuously for a long time.


    Zhang Hao and the other three Mahayana Sect experts were shocked and appalled.


    Was the middle-aged man by Xiaotian¡¯s side a Great Emperor? Only a Great Emperor could kill a Martial Venerable with a flick of a finger.


    Suddenly, Chen Lingyun swiftly brandished his sword, sending the ck Flood Dragon King flying, pivoted in one motion, and lunged at the Azure Thunder Python with his sword.


    No one expected Chen Lingyun to suddenlyunch an attack at the Azure Thunder Python, and even more so, aiming for the forehead.


    ¡°One Sword ying the Gods!¡± Chen Lingyun¡¯s voice was cold, ¡°Whoever kills an expert of the Mahayana Sect shall die!¡±


    One Sword ying the Gods was a lethal move from the Mahayana Sect¡¯s supreme sword manual; when cultivated to the extreme, it was said to be capable of ying gods.

 Chapter 169: It is my supreme honor

    Chapter 169: It is my supreme honor


    Trantor: 549690339


    Chen Lingyun¡¯s Sword Qi shone with dazzling brilliance, like a giant sword sphere that exploded in an instant.


    Before the Sword Qi even struck, ancient trees within ten miles all around had unexpectedly split open.


    This sword strike was unstoppable.


    If gods block, y the gods!


    If Buddhas block, y the Buddhas!


    Chen Lingyun did not attack Yang Xiaotian, but under the cover of the Sword Qi, in a sh, Xiaotian¡¯s soul felt as if it was being shed into countless pieces.


    This was just the coverage of the Sword Qi, yet it wielded such terrifying power.


    Several experts from the Mahayana Sect were also shaken by Chen Lingyun¡¯s sword.


    ¡°Sword of ying of God! The Sword of ying of God has been cultivated by Elder Chen!¡±


    ¡°With the Sword of ying of God, even Demon Gods retreat!¡±


    A few were unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts.


    No sooner had it been spoken than done, Chen Lingyun¡¯s Sword of ying of God was already three inches from the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s brow.


    The Azure Thunder Python didn¡¯t even look, just pped out directly with its palm.


    In an instant, the Sword Qi, known as the Sword of ying of God, was dispersed by the casual palm of the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The sword light exploded.


    But it was not over yet, as the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s palm continued forward with relentless force, pping Chen Lingyun down like one would a fly.


    Chen Lingyun was suddenly smashed down from mid-air.


    Countless grains of sand were sted off the ground, rolling up dust and sand like a sandstorm.


    Seeing Chen Lingyun pped into the ground like a fly, the previously excited Mahayana Sect members and Zhang Hao were as if their throats had been clutched by an invisible giant hand, their faces filled with shock.


    This this!


    Thete-stage Saint Realm Chen Lingyun, who performed the supreme Sword Techniques from the Mahayana Sword Canon, had been pped into the ground with a single palm!


    They looked at the Azure Thunder Python in astonishment.


    Before, they had thought this middle-aged man was a Great Emperor.


    It turns out he was not a Great Emperor!


    But a Saint Realm?


    Moreover, a Saint Realm entity far stronger than Chen Lingyun?


    Yang Xiaotian had actually managed to recruit such a powerful Saint Realm powerhouse?


    Even the ck Flood Dragon King was frightened, as it was all too aware of how powerful Chen Lingyun was, yet he had been pped into the ground by this middle-aged man.


    How strong was this middle-aged man?


    ¡°Sword of ying of God? Without even any Sword Intent, you dare to im ying of God.¡± The Azure Thunder Python looked down at Chen Lingyun at the bottom of the deep pit, coldly saying.


    In terms of Swordsmanship, Chen Lingyun wascking far behind Zhu Jing.


    Now that he had recovered from his injuries considerably, even if Zhu Jing himself came, he would not fear him, let alone Chen Lingyun.


    Chen Lingyuny at the bottom of the deep pit, spewing blood, looking at the Azure Thunder Python in terror, unable to believe that he, an esteemed Saint Realm Elder of the Mahayana Sect, was nearly pped to death by this middle-aged man beside Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Who might you be?¡± Chen Lingyun hoarsely asked, even his form of address had changed.


    Referring to as ¡®Your Excellency¡¯.


    ¡°Me?¡± The Azure Thunder Python gave a coldugh, its whole body shimmering as it transformed into its true form, as colossal as an Ancient Divine Mountain.


    When the Azure Thunder Python revealed its true form coiled in the high sky, the sunlight above was all but obscured.


    The ck snow falling over ck Snow Mountain came to a stop.


    The divine might of a Divine Beast King enveloped Heaven and Earth.


    Heaven and Earth seemed toe to a standstill.


    Seeing the full presence of the Azure Thunder Python, the ck Flood Dragon King immediately weakened in its legs and prostrated on the ground, ¡°ck Flood Dragon King pays homage to the Divine Beast King! The Divine Might of the Divine Beast King knows no bounds!¡±


    Divine Beast King!


    Azure Thunder Python!


    Chen Lingyun, Zhang Hao, and the remaining three experts from the Mahayana Sect¡¯s eyes bulged, their bodies trembling, their faces deathly pale, and they were incredibly shaken.


    The middle-aged man beside Yang Xiaotian turned out to be the Divine Beast King of the Red Moon Forest, the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Divine Beast King of the Red Moon Forest, the Azure Thunder Python, had actually pledged allegiance to Yang Xiaotian?!


    How could this be!


    They couldn¡¯t believe, couldn¡¯t ept what they were seeing.


    ¡°So it is the Divine Beast King.¡± Chen Lingyun took a deep breath and said, ¡°Divine Beast King, your divine might is boundless, being the ruler of the Red Moon Forest, why would you lower yourself to follow a child like Yang Xiaotian, suffering such indignity.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Lingyun say that following Yang Xiaotian was a humiliation, the Azure Thunder Python scoffed and said, ¡°My master¡¯s divine might is something you ants cannotprehend. Having the opportunity to follow my master, to be his Mount Beast and servant, is my utmost honor.¡±


    Chen Lingyun and Zhang Hao were dumbstruck.


    The Divine Beast King being Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Mount Beast and servant is an utmost honor?


    Their minds couldn¡¯t process it for a moment.


    They were, after all, aware of who Yang Xiaotian was.


    A Martial Soul of the eleventh level, having condensed three Sword Hearts, with decent Sword Dao talent and Alchemy talent too, but, this wasn¡¯t as exaggerated as what the Azure Thunder Python was making it out to be.


    Still unwilling to give up, Chen Lingyun continued, ¡°If the Divine Beast King woulde to our Mahayana Sect, we would definitely offer a high position, and any request you have, our Mahayana Sect would fulfill it.¡±


    The Mahayana Sect is one of the ten supreme sects of the Divine Dragon Empire, they could fulfill any request, and such an offer, it must be said, was tempting.


    However, the Azure Thunder Python, upon hearing this, merely sneered dismissively, ¡°Mahayana Sect?¡± To him, the Mahayana Sect was nothing but trash.


    Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°Kill them.¡±


    He did not wish to waste words with Chen Lingyun and the others.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Lingyun¡¯s face changed, he struggled to fly out from the deep pit, raging, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you dare! I am an Elder of the Mahayana Sect, if I die, your entire family shall be buried with me!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze was cold, ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Just as Chen Lingyun was about to fly out of the pit, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s w, massive as a small hill, mmed down.


    Chen Lingyun only saw darkness above him, and as he raised his head, he saw the mountainous w falling down, and he was filled with horror and despair.


    Boom!


    The w of the Azure Thunder Python directly forced Chen Lingyun deep into the ground.


    The ground continuously burst apart.


    When the Azure Thunder Python lifted its w, Chen Lingyun was already a mangled mess, with no discernible face or body.


    He had beenpletely crushed.


    Though Chen Lingyun was of the Saint Realm with vital force strong, no amount of vitality could save him once crushed to death!


    Seeing Chen Lingyun crushed, the other three Senior Executors of the Mahayana Sect fled in terror.


    With a cold snort from the Azure Thunder Python, it swept its massive tail, and a fierce wind arose, sending the three Mahayana Sect members flying away, crashing onto distant mountains.


    When the three of them crashed down, their armors were all shattered, bones and flesh scattered, and they were unquestionably dead.


    Eventually, only Zhang Hao remained.


    Zhang Hao, leaning against the trunk of a tree, had a face ashen as death.


    Originally, he had hoped that his master¡¯s ¡®Sword of ying of God¡¯ would easily dispatch the middle-aged man by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, but it turned out that the man was none other than the Divine Beast King of the Red Moon Forest, the Azure Thunder Python.


    Yang Xiaotian advanced towards Zhang Hao with his sword in hand.


    As Zhang Hao watched Yang Xiaotian approaching, a sense of despair filled his heart. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed, and his long sword had already pierced through Zhang Hao¡¯s throat.


    Zhang Hao, heavily injured, was entirely powerless to resist. His eyes stared fixedly at Yang Xiaotian, as if burning Yang Xiaotian¡¯s image into the depths of his soul.


    He couldn¡¯t ept it¡ªhe was one of Mahayana Sect¡¯s most talented young geniuses, and yet he was to die here.


    Given enough time, he was sure he would be a Saint.


    But now, everything was to end here.

 Chapter 170: Bombard Yang Xiaotian to Death for Me

    Chapter 170: Bombard Yang Xiaotian to Death for Me


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian saw the unwillingness in Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes, the intense hatred for him deep in Zhang Hao¡¯s heart.


    Expressionless, he slowly thrust his long sword deep into Zhang Hao¡¯s throat.


    Blood began to flow down the de of the sword.


    Zhang Hao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.


    But in the end, he couldn¡¯t make a sound.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s long sword pierced through the back of his neck.


    ¡°What a pity, I had wanted to kill you in three years,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    But today¡¯s events must not be revealed.


    The light in Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes gradually faded, and he moved no more.


    Watching Zhang Hao, who had breathed hisst, Yang Xiaotian drew out his long sword.


    Zhang Hao¡¯s body fell to the ground.


    A genius of the Maha Divine Sect had perished just like that.


    Blood dyed the surrounding ground red.


    Yang Xiaotian searched Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and several others, took their Space Rings, summoned the me of Star, and cleanly disposed of the bodies of Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and the others.


    Then, his gaze fell on the ck Flood Dragon King in the distance.


    The ck Flood Dragon King was already covered in wounds from Chen Lingyun¡¯s Sword Qi, and Chen Lingyun¡¯s final strike had opened a wound tens of meters across its back, from which blood poured like a fountain, the injury extremely severe.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze on it, the ck Flood Dragon King shuddered and lowered its head, not daring to meet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice came, ¡°Swallow this top-grade Endless Life Pill.¡±


    An Elixir flew towards the ck Flood Dragon King, breaking through the air.


    The ck Flood Dragon King caught the Elixir, eyes wide in shock, ¡°A top-grade Endless Life Pill!¡±


    ¡°From now on, you and Old Meng will follow me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    With a tremble throughout its body, the ck Flood Dragon King nced at the Azure Thunder Python and then kowtowed to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Thank you, Young Master. I am willing to follow you and serve you in any way I can.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s intervention today, it would likely have died at Chen Lingyun¡¯s hands.


    Of course, it knew that its only option was to serve Yang Xiaotian.


    If it refused, Yang Xiaotian would not let it live to leave, as today¡¯s events must not be revealed.


    After the ck Flood Dragon King swallowed the top-grade Endless Life Pill, Yang Xiaotian took out several more Endless Life Pills, crushed them into powder, and sprinkled them on the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s wounds.


    Quickly, the bleeding stopped, and then the wounds healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.


    After making the ck Flood Dragon King swallow a Control Elixir, Yang Xiaotian then went to the location of the Dragon Vein.


    Previously, Zhang Hao and others had sted the ground deeply, and the Dragon Vein continuously leaked Dragon Spirit Energy, almost blowing Yang Xiaotian away as he arrived above it.


    Even the Azure Thunder Python was surprised by the raging outflow of Dragon Spirit Energy as it arrived above the Dragon Vein.


    The quality of Dragon Spirit Energy from a low-grade Dragon Vein should not be so rich.


    The Dragon Vein beneath the ground probably reached the medium grade, or even the high grade!


    The Azure Thunder Python involuntarily looked towards Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Start digging,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    He was curious about the quality of the Dragon Vein below.


    Taking a deep breath, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s mountain-like dragon w mmed down fiercely, directly onto the ground.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the ground exploded as if hit by a super nuclear bomb.


    Countless dust and debris were sted into the air, one cloud after another.


    As the dust settled, one could see that the ground for miles around had been excavated to a depth of several dozen meters.


    Yang Xiaotian sighed. The dual w strength of someone in the Divine Spirit Realm was truly not to be underestimated; if he had been digging, he probably would have needed two or three days.


    After the surrounding miles of ground were dug up to several dozen meters deep, one could see a red Spirit Vein lying on the bottom, looking like a me, a thousand meters in length, and shining like a sparkling red dragon of me.


    The surging Dragon Spirit Energy rose up like the ocean.


    Yang Xiaotian nearly suffocated from the rush.


    Such a strong, such a pure Dragon Spirit Energy!


    And it was Blood Dragon Spirit Energy.


    Blood Dragon Spirit Energy was much rarer than ordinary dragon energy.


    Even the Azure Thunder Python was excited beyond measure at the sight of the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein.


    This was a top-grade Spirit Vein; such arge Blood Dragon Spirit Vein could be split into a million Blood Dragon Spirit Stones.


    Although he possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Thunder Dragon, it was not pure. If he could continuously absorb this Blood Dragon Energy to cultivate, there was hope for him to return to his ancestors and achieve the true Ancient Thunder Dragon bloodline.


    At that time, he would advance to a Super Divine Beast!


    As Yang Xiaotian stood above the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein, he felt enveloped by Blood Dragon Spirit Energy, feeling extremelyfortable all over, as if his very soul was refreshed to his toes.


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian began his work, moving the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein in front of him into the Medicine Cauldron.


    It was fortunate that the Azure Thunder Python, a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse, was there to help; otherwise, with the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein heavier than Dragon Mountain, it would not have been easy for Yang Xiaotian to move it.


    After taking away the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein,


    Yang Xiaotian cleaned up the site to make sure it was restored, then he and the Azure Thunder Python, along with the ck Flood Dragon King, left.


    After leaving, he began to search for the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure.


    With the guidance of the Heavenly Dragon Saber, Yang Xiaotian soon found its treasure location.


    The Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure was located in a valley in ck Snow Mountain.


    When Yang Xiaotian used the Heavenly Dragon Saber to open the gate of the treasure, he saw a different world inside, resembling a paradise on earth, which reminded him of Hong Feng¡¯s valley cave dwelling.


    However, the valley of the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure was muchrger, with a pce of immense size standing erect. What left Yang Xiaotian speechless was that the floor of the main pce hall waspletely made of Gold Coins!


    A mountain of Gold Coins amassed into a golden hill!


    ¡°Could this be as much as ten billion?¡± Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    ¡°Probably more than that,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said with a smile. ¡°Young Master has be a billionaire just bying to ck Snow Mountain.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, not being modest, he directly moved the entire mountain of Gold Coins, then entered the rooms around the great hall, discovering Elixirs, various Divine Weapons, and Secret Tomes of Divine Skills within.


    Yang Xiaotian hurriedly began to search through the Divine Skill Secret Tomes, to see if there were any Supreme Divine Powers.


    What he was mostcking now were Supreme Divine Powers.


    He actually found thirty-two Supreme Divine Powers, most of which were exclusive to the Long n.


    For others, Long n Supreme Divine Powers were of little use,pletely unmasterable, but for Yang Xiaotian, who had cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, these Long n Supreme Divine Powers were treasured finds.


    Yang Xiaotian took away all the Elixirs, Divine Weapons, and Divine Skill Secret Tomes.


    Unfortunately, these Elixirs were all top-grade, not supreme-grade, and they were Treasure Pills; even the grades of the weapons were not high, merely top-grade divine weapons.


    Behind the great hall was a courtyard with a medicinal field, filled with various kinds of Long n Spiritual Medicines.


    Yang Xiaotian also took them.


    However, he did not leave right away as he was already at the peak of the fourth tier of Martial King, just one step away from the fifth tier, so he nned to make his breakthrough there before returning to Tiandou Imperial City.


    While Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python, alongside the ck Flood Dragon King, were cultivating in the Heavenly Dragon Hall, Tiandou Academy was astir with shock. The cause was none other than Guo Wei awakening his Ancient Dragon God bloodline and, afterprehending the Sword Tower, making rapid progress like a force unstoppable. In just a few short days, he reached the fourthyer.


    And he condensed the fourth Sword Heart!


    Learning that Guo Wei had condensed the fourth Sword Heart, Zhong Yun smiled crookedly: ¡°Good, excellent! Unparalleled across the ages! Yang Xiaotian has only three Sword Hearts, and you have already surpassed him!¡±


    He looked at Guo Wei and said with a smile, ¡°In a few days, it will be the monthly test. If Yang Xiaotian appears, you st him to death for me!¡±

    Chapter 171: Is There a Second Punch?


    Trantor: 549690339


    Guo Wei confidently said, ¡°Great Elder, rest assured, if Yang Xiaotian dares to show up at the monthly exam, I will surely st him half to death.¡±


    At that time, all past grievances will be settled!


    An astonishing aura burst forth from him.


    To everyone¡¯s amazement, he had reached the eighth level of Martial King.


    ¡°The only fear is that he won¡¯t dare to show up,¡± Guo Wei said. ¡°I¡¯ve heard he¡¯s asked the vice dean for leave.¡±


    Zhong Yunughed and said, ¡°This monthly exam, if he doesn¡¯t dare to show up, just wait for the next one. There¡¯s always another chance. When he does appear, you can also challenge him to a duel on the fighting stage.¡±


    Guo Wei nodded.


    Several days blinked by.


    Inside the Heavenly Dragon Hall, Yang Xiaotian was radiating with light, surrounded by True Essence Dragons, their overwhelming dragon might filling the air.


    The ck Flood Dragon King, who was cultivating, was startled awake. It looked at the True Essence Dragons swirling around Yang Xiaotian in shock.


    The Azure Thunder Python observed the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s astonished expression and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. It remembered feeling the same way when it first witnessed the True Essence Dragons summoned by the young master.


    Watching the True Essence Dragons around the young master, the Azure Thunder Python thought of an extremely domineering Cultivation Technique from ancient times.


    However, despite having stayed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side for a while now, the sight of the sky full of True Essence Dragons still left it profoundly moved each time.


    Momentster, Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating. The True Essence Dragons retracted back into his body, and he stood up to stretch his limbs and muscles.


    This session of cultivation had led him to sessfully break through to the fifth level of Martial King.


    It was time to return.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian, along with the Azure Thunder Python and the ck Flood Dragon King, left the Heavenly Dragon Valley, ripped through the sky, and flew back to Tiandou Imperial City.


    Yang Xiaotian was still seated cross-legged atop the head of the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Azure Thunder Python flew through the air.


    The ck Flood Dragon King followed behind.


    After several days of ingesting top-grade Endless Life Pills for healing, the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s injuries had almostpletely healed.


    Though the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s form was quite massive, it still fell short whenpared to the Azure Thunder Python, the king of Divine Beasts.


    It was like the difference between an Ancient Divine Mountain and an ordinaryrge mountain.


    Just like on the journey there, as the Azure Thunder Python flew, the Fierce Beasts of the Red Moon Forest trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground.


    A dayter, Tiandou Imperial City appeared on the horizon.


    Yang Xiaotian recalled the Azure Thunder Python and the ck Flood Dragon King and entered Tiandou Imperial City.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian entered Tiandou Imperial City, a surge of cheering erupted from the square of Tiandou Academy.


    It turned out that Tiandou Academy was holding its monthly exam.


    In the first-year exam, Guo Wei was virtually unbeatable, defeating opponents one by one. Having awakened the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God and condensed four Sword Hearts, even Lin Xiao, who could once match him, was no longer his equal.


    After defeating Lin Xiao, Guo Wei then drew the Son of Thunder in the lottery.


    Seeing that he had drawn the Son of Thunder, Guo Wei sneered.


    He, of course, knew that the Son of Thunder had a close rtionship with Yang Xiaotian.


    Since Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t shown up, he would first take pleasure in tormenting the Son of Thunder and wait for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s return to challenge him then.


    The Son of Thunder frowned as he drew Guo Wei, took a deep breath, stepped forward onto the square, and cupped his fists towards Guo Wei, saying, ¡°Brother Guo, please enlighten me.¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than suddenly, Guo Wei¡¯s figure shed. He had appeared right in front of the Son of Thunder.


    Guo Wei threw a punch with such speed that the Son of Thunder couldn¡¯t even react.


    With a thunderous boom, the Son of Thunder was struck squarely in the chest.


    The sound of bones cracking rang out.


    The Son of Thunder was sent flying like a struck ball, smashing heavily onto the ground far away.


    ¡°Guo Wei!¡± the Son of Thunder spat out a mouthful of blood and red furiously at Guo Wei, ¡°You attacked by surprise, despicable and shameless!¡±


    Before he could finish his sentence, Guo Wei had alreadyunched a surprise attack.


    Zhong Lei, the ss leader of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s first-year ss, spoke up, ¡°Son of Thunder, Brother Guo¡¯s strength is unparalleled. Does he need to sneak attack you? You¡¯re no match for Brother Guo. Being sent flying by him and still having the shameless gall to im heunched a sneak attack!¡±


    The Son of Thunder heard this and his eyes turned cold. His body shed with lightning, while countless Thunder Serpents coiled around him, sending shocking waves of fire sweeping through.


    ¡°Body of Sr Thunder,¡± said Guo Wei unimpressed upon seeing this.


    In the past, the Body of Sr Thunder was considered amazing in the Divine Sea Country, but in his eyes, it was nothing special.


    The Son of Thunder bellowed deeply and suddenly threw a punch at Guo Wei.


    Numerous Thunder Serpents followed the force of his punch towards Guo Wei.


    Seeing this, Guo Wei scoffed, ¡°Ignorant of death.¡± With a casual punch, he didn¡¯t even use any Divine Skills but merely activated the Ancient Thunder God Art.


    Instantly, the overwhelming power of thunder collided with the Son of Thunder¡¯s fist.


    The Son of Thunder¡¯s fist exploded with flesh and blood, and he was blown away.


    Guo Wei stepped forward and suddenly stomped down on the Son of Thunder¡¯s mangled fist.


    The sound of bones shattering resounded.


    The Son of Thunder grimaced in pain.


    ¡°Do you know why?¡± Guo Wei looked down coldly at the Son of Thunder on the ground, ¡°It¡¯s because you¡¯re quite close to Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Li Yang, who was also in ss Two with Guo Wei, instigated with augh, ¡°Son of Thunder, if you kneel down and call Yang Xiaotian a dog, maybe Junior Brother Guo Wei will spare you!¡±


    Many studentsughed uproariously.


    Just then, some of the students who had just startedughing suddenly stopped and looked in the direction behind Guo Wei.


    Guo Wei felt something was off and abruptly turned his head, only to see Yang Xiaotian approaching from afar.


    Yang Xiaotian was wearing a light blue brocade robe, exuding no aura whatsoever, but with his arrival, the entire za fell silent.


    Yang Xiaotian had heard Li Yang¡¯s mockingughter.


    He also saw the Son of Thunder being blown away by Guo Wei.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian arrive, Guo Wei smiled revealing his teeth in surprise, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you finally show up. Perfect timing, I thought you were hiding and didn¡¯t dare to show your face.¡±


    With that, he suddenly kicked at the Son of Thunder¡¯s abdomen, brutally sending him flying.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned icy. He knew Guo Wei did it on purpose, putting on a show for him to see.


    He came to the Son of Thunder¡¯s side, helped him up, and made him swallow an Endless Life Pill, then turned to face Guo Wei.


    Suddenly, Guo Wei¡¯s aura surged violently, and a massive shadow of a Divine Dragon appeared behind him, his entire body engulfed in thunder, transforming into a sea of thunder.


    His eyes fierce, he leaped into the air and threw a punch, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take my punch!¡±


    Instantly, the dragon¡¯s roar echoed through heaven and earth.


    The might of the celestial dragon shook all directions.


    The force of the punch roared, tearing throughyers of airflow and with the force of a copsing mountain, it charged towards Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Why should I mind taking your punch,¡± Yang Xiaotian punched back with equal force.


    Just like before, a dragon¡¯s roar echoed through heaven and earth.


    The same overwhelming dragon might.


    Myriad True Essence Dragons flew out, directly sting Guo Wei¡¯s punch.


    And hitting Guo Wei squarely.


    Just moments before, Guo Wei had seemed invincible with the might of the dragon, but now, he was blown backwards, crashing down on the edge of the za.


    The ground shook incessantly.


    Where Guo Wei fell, countless stones scattered.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Guo Wei, awakened with the bloodline of one of the Ancient Ten Great Dragon Gods, was defeated just like that?


    ¡°The first punch, I¡¯ve taken it, any second punches?¡± Yang Xiaotian approached Guo Wei and spoke indifferently.


    Everyone was shocked.


    In a daze, the crowd recalled the scene from the initial admission assessments.

 Chapter 172: I Have Four Sword Hearts

    Chapter 172: I Have Four Sword Hearts


    Trantor: 549690339


    Guo Wei struggled to rise from the ground of the za, his chest covered in bloodstains.


    A month ago during the enrollment assessment, his battle armor had been sted to pieces by Yang Xiaotian. Just two days ago, he had finally reforged it, and now it had been sted apart by Yang Xiaotian once more.


    As Guo Wei watched his battle armor being sted apart by Yang Xiaotian again, his eyes turned blood-red, filled with an unbearable killing intent. He stared at Yang Xiaotian like a violent fierce beast, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±


    Guo Wei roared, his aura swelling once more.


    Above in the sky, thunder crackled fiercely.


    Bolts of Thunder Serpents came crashing down, coiling around Guo Wei¡¯s body.


    The destructive power of the thunder shocked all the surrounding students.


    Clearly, Guo Wei¡¯s Ancient Thunder God Art had made another breakthrough.


    Its power had more than doubledpared to a month ago.


    Behind Guo Wei, the twelfth-grade top Martial Soul, the Golden Lion King, manifested again.


    The golden light exploded massively.


    At the same time, the shadow of a gigantic Ancient Dragon God intertwined around Guo Wei¡¯s body.


    Obviously, Guo Wei had also fully activated the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God.


    Finally, Guo Wei, holding the Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword, caused sword radiance to dazzle both heaven and earth.


    Seeing Guo Wei¡¯s fullbat power, all the Tiandou Academy students were deeply shocked.


    Ancient Thunder God Art!


    Twelfth-grade top Martial Soul!


    Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God!


    Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword!


    Each one alone was enough to astonish the world.


    Then, in Guo Wei¡¯s left hand, another longsword appeared, this one as blue as the washing sky.


    Everyone was greatly stunned by the sword in Guo Wei¡¯s left hand.


    ¡°Is that the Heavenly Sword, the Green Sea Sword?!¡±


    Heavenly Sword, Green Sea Sword, ranked one hundred and fourth on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.


    And the Emperor Sword in Guo Wei¡¯s right hand was one hundred and tenth.


    In terms of power, the Green Sea Sword was even stronger than the Emperor Sword.


    Everyone was astounded.


    To have one Heavenly Sword was enough to create a stir among nations.


    But now Guo Wei had actually gained the recognition of two Heavenly Swords!


    ¡°This is just too monstrous. Junior Brother Guo Wei actually gained the recognition of two Heavenly Swords, truly ground-shaking and epoch-making.¡±


    ¡°No wonder Junior Brother Guo Wei was able to condense four Sword Hearts in just a mere month!¡±


    ¡°With Junior Brother Guo Wei¡¯s heaven-defying Sword Dao talent, he will surely gain the recognition of our academy¡¯s Controlling Dragon Sword in the future!¡±


    All students were extraordinarily excited, their words flying chaotically.


    Even many of the teachers present were shocked by Guo Wei¡¯s two Heavenly Swords.


    Guo Wei stepped towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, surprised? Actually, beforeing to Tiandou Academy, I had already obtained the Green Sea Sword, but I hadn¡¯tpletely mastered it at the time.¡±


    ¡°This past month, I have been diligently studying the Sword Tower, and alsoprehending the Green Sea Sword.¡±


    ¡°Ten days ago, I finallypletelyprehended the Green Sea Sword.¡±


    ¡°Today, I am going to st you to death!¡±


    He came face to face with Yang Xiaotian, then suddenly leaped up high, attacking with both the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword simultaneously.


    ¡°Splendor Sword Art!¡±


    ¡°Blue of the Green Sea!¡±


    From Guo Wei¡¯s hands, both the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword unleashed astonishing sword radiance.


    The Sword Qi of the two Heavenly Swordspeted for brilliance.


    Countless beams of Sword Qi covered up even the sunlight.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the luminescence of the two Heavenly Swords.


    Seeing the simultaneous attack of the two Heavenly Swords, all the teachers and students present at Tiandou Academy were shocked.


    Two Heavenly Swords attacking at the same time, such a scene was rare to witness in ten thousand years.


    ¡°The intertwined power of the two Heavenly Swords is terrifyingly formidable, Yang Xiaotian is bound to lose!¡±


    ¡°This time, no matter how strong Yang Xiaotian¡¯s swordsmanship is, he won¡¯t possibly withstand the power of the two Heavenly Swords!¡±


    Many students eximed in shock.


    Yang Xiaotian was also surprised to see Guo Wei obtain the Green Sea Sword.


    Watching the Splendor Sword Qi and the Green Sea Sword Qi approaching, he didn¡¯t summon the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, but instead had a Supreme Treasure Longsword appear in both his left and his right hand.


    Then, he swung both longswords simultaneously.


    When Yang Xiaotian swung the longsword in his left hand, within the Sword Qi, mountains and rivers appeared, fierce beasts roared, and all things and spirits of Heaven and Earth were present.


    It felt as though these were not mere illusions, but real.


    When Yang Xiaotian swung the longsword in his right hand, Sword Qi surged forth, turning into a myriad of mountains, and suddenly, the surrounding Heaven and Earth shook abruptly, as if struck by a heavy blow.


    ss 1-1¡¯s homeroom teacher, Huang Yiqing, saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two swords and his eyes bulged with shock and disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.


    What is this?


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi collided with the opponent¡¯s Splendor Sword Qi and Green Sea Sword Qi.


    A continuous sizzling sound rang out.


    The Splendor Sword Qi and Green Sea Sword Qi, which were terrifying in the eyes of the crowd, were ruthlessly torn apart by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi.


    Before Guo Wei could react, he was struck by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi and sent flying backward once more, crashing into the edge of the za.


    Boom!


    The ground exploded.


    Everyone watched in shock as Guo Wei was once again sted away.


    Guo Wei, who wielded the Golden Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword,bining the powers of two great Heavenly Swords, and possessing the Ancient Thunder God Art and bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God, was still unable to avoid being sted away?


    ¡°Myriad Aspects Sword Technique! Shocking Heaven Sword Art!¡±


    ¡°Summit Mastery Realm!¡±


    Huang Yiqing watched Yang Xiaotian with excitement and fervor, his voice trembling.


    As soon as Huang Yiqing¡¯s voice emerged, the previously noisy za fell into dead silence, with all eyes fixed on Yang Xiaotian, filled with astonishment.


    Myriad Aspects Sword Technique, Shocking Heaven Sword Art, all in the Summit Mastery Realm?


    In hundreds of years, Tiandou Academy had seen many Sword Dao geniuses, with some cultivating ten or even twenty Supreme Divine Powers to Perfection Realm, but never had a student been able to cultivate a Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery.


    Summit Mastery, as difficult as ascending to the heavens!


    Even He Qingzhe, Chen Jun, and Tian Meiling¡ªwho were acimed as the top three geniuses of the inner academy¡ªhad not cultivated any Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery.


    But Yang Xiaotian had done it.


    And he had cultivated not just one, but two Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery.


    And Yang Xiaotian was just a first-year freshman at Tiandou Academy.


    Even Lin Xiao, who had previously fought with Yang Xiaotian, was frightened.


    He had not expected Yang Xiaotian to have cultivated two Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery!


    All the teachers and students present were even more shocked than they were upon seeing Guo Wei¡¯s Golden Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword.


    ¡°The Golden Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword are indeed powerful, but what a pity, their owner is too rubbish,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Guo Wei, just about to rise, spat out another mouthful of blood upon hearing this.


    The crowd¡¯s expressions turned odd.


    Guo Wei, leaning on the two Heavenly Swords, stood up unsteadily, his body covered in fresh blood. One could see inteced sword wounds all over him, which from a distance looked quite frightful.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian, Guo Wei could not conceal the fear in his heart.


    He had fully assumed that with his fullbat power and the strength of the two Heavenly Swords, he would definitely st Yang Xiaotian half to death, but Yang Xiaotian had actually cultivated the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and the Shocking Heaven Sword Art to Summit Mastery!


    He couldn¡¯tprehend how Yang Xiaotian had managed to cultivate two Supreme Sword Arts to Summit Mastery.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I, Guo Wei, am the reincarnation of an Ancient Divine Spirit, the Child of a Divine Spirit, I cannot possibly lose to you!¡± Suddenly, Guo Wei dered vehemently, ¡°I have four Sword Hearts! Now, I will let you witness the power of my four Sword Hearts!¡±

 Chapter 173: Three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts

    Chapter 173: Three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts


    Trantor: 549690339


    Hearing Guo Wei mention the four Sword Hearts, many students from the War God Academy, just like Guo Wei himself, felt exhrated.


    ¡°Exactly, Junior Brother Guo Wei still has the four Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°The four Sword Hearts, unmatched through the ages, sweep everything invincible!¡±


    The one named Li Yang earlier eximed, ¡°That¡¯s right, if Junior Brother Guo Wei had used the strongest four Sword Hearts from the beginning, Yang Xiaotian would have been defeated without a doubt!¡±


    ¡°What does it matter if Yang Xiaotian has cultivated the Supreme Divine Power to the level of Summit Mastery? He definitely can¡¯t withstand the power of Junior Brother Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Hearts!¡±


    One by one, students from the War God Academy yelled at the top of their lungs, as if by Guo Wei utilizing the four Sword Hearts, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s defeat was certain.


    No wonder Li Yang and the others had such confidence in Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Hearts: there had been instances when sword dao masters, when faced with stronger opponents, were able to turn defeat into victory once they tapped into the power of their Sword Hearts, and did so with overwhelming force.


    Under the rallying cries of Li Yang and the others, the power of Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Hearts began to surge.


    One, two, three, four!


    Astounding Sword Qi force burst forth from Guo Wei.


    With the power of the four Sword Hearts pouring into him, his Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword¡¯s aura spat and swallowed without end, their brilliance far surpassing what it had been before.


    Standing there, Guo Wei let the power of the four Sword Hearts surge wildly; his entire being was enveloped by the force of the Sword Qi from the four Sword Hearts, and from a distance, he looked as though he was shrouded in invisible light.


    When Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Hearts were activated, all the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy were stunned to discover that their swords were humming incessantly, as if cheering, trembling, resonating?


    Seeing this miraculous scene, Li Yang and the others were even more uplifted.


    ¡°How strong! This is the power of the four Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s actually causing a resonance of myriad swords!¡±


    ¡°A rare miracle like the resonance of myriad swords, we¡¯ve finally witnessed it today!¡±


    The students of Tiandou Academy were incredibly excited.


    They had heard of such a phenomenon of myriad swords resonating but had never seen it.


    Today, they were finally fortunate enough to witness it.


    ¡°Junior Brother Guo Wei is indeed the student with the strongest Sword Dao talent in our Tiandou Academy!¡± The ss leader Zhong Lei was also excitedly eximing.


    Even the two Supreme Treasure Longswords in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands were quivering.


    Guo Wei, holding the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword, walked towards Yang Xiaotian. The sword scars on his body began to recover continuously, and he looked at Yang Xiaotian with pride and smugness, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, now you can¡¯t even hold your swords steady. I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯re going to use your Summit Mastery-level Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and Shocking Heaven Sword Art.¡±


    Currently, Yang Xiaotian had not reached the realm of using no sword.


    To perform swordsmanship, one cannot do without a longsword.


    Now that Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t hold his swords steady, he couldn¡¯t perform the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and the Shocking Heaven Sword Art.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I don¡¯t believe that you¡¯ve cultivated other martial arts, palm techniques, and Divine Skills to the realm of Summit Mastery.¡± Guo Wei said coldly, ¡°Although you have three Sword Hearts, I have four. There¡¯s a vast difference between the power of three and four Sword Hearts.¡±


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he too walked toward Guo Wei.


    Normally speaking, there truly is a huge difference between the power of three Sword Hearts and four.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian activated the power of his three Sword Hearts.


    To deal with Guo Wei, he didn¡¯t need to use four Sword Hearts.


    Three were more than enough.


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three Sword Hearts were activated, the two longswords in his hands stopped quivering.


    As the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three Sword Hearts swept through, the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy found that their swords were no longer affected by Guo Wei¡¯s Sword Heart power; all ceased to quiver.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± many people wondered, looking at each other in astonishment.


    It seemed that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three Sword Hearts were suppressing Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Hearts?


    Why has this happened?


    Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Heart powers, aren¡¯t they stronger?


    Huang Yiqing and a group of teachers were equally bewildered.


    ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s going on?¡± a student couldn¡¯t help but ask Huang Yiqing.


    Just as Huang Yiqing was about to respond, suddenly, Guo Wei burst out shouting, his Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword attacking Yang Xiaotian simultaneously, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, face my four grand Sword Heart powers head-on!¡±


    Under the influence of Guo Wei¡¯s four grand Sword Heart powers, the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword manifested various phenomena, with the Emperor Sword projecting the figure of a Great Emperor, and the Green Sea Sword surrounded by what seemed like a vast and tumultuous ocean.


    The Sword Qi from the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword was incredibly fast, reaching mere meters from Yang Xiaotian in the blink of an eye.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t retreat but advanced, his longsword striking out.


    As his longsword struck out, strands of Nine-Colored Sword Aura blossomed forth.


    Seeing the Nine-Colored Sword Aura from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword, many students were surprised.


    Whereas Huang Yiqing and some teachers thought of an ancient legend, their bodies trembling uncontrobly, their speech incoherent, ¡°This is Nine-Colored¡­¡±


    Before they could finish, they saw their own swords flying up.


    Impacted by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Qi, all the longswords belonging to the teachers and students present at Tiandou Academy took flight.


    A moment ago, Guo Wei¡¯s mobilization of his four Sword Heart powers had merely caused everyone¡¯s longswords to tremble, but now, under the influence of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Qi power, all the longswords took to the air.


    As everyone was shocked, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Qi instantly pierced through Guo Wei¡¯s four Sword Heart powers and struck Guo Wei once more.


    Even though Guo Wei used the Golden Shield to protect himself at thest moment, he was still sent flying.


    Guo Wei was thrown clear out of the za.


    Only to see that the sword wounds on Guo Wei, which had just healed, were once again covering his body.


    ¡°Impossible, how can this be!¡± Guo Wei, with his mouth full of fresh blood, couldn¡¯t ept what had happened.


    His four Sword Heart powers were actually defeated by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three Sword Heart powers.


    At this time, Huang Yiqing¡¯s trembling voice, filled with excitement, rang out, ¡°Nine-Colored Sword Heart!¡±


    ¡°What, Nine-Colored Sword Heart?¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian has condensed the Strongest Sword Heart, the Nine-Colored Sword Heart?!¡±


    Many students gasped in shock upon hearing this.


    After hearing this, Guo Wei stammered, ¡°Nine-Colored Sword Heart?¡±


    He tried to struggle to his feet again, but as he rose, he fell down once more and finally passed out.


    The Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword fell to the side, losing their luster.


    Once again, the scene plunged into dead silence.


    As this was merely a monthly exam at the academy, Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and Zhong Yun, along with other high-ranking individuals from the academy, had not watched the event; at that moment, Zhong Yun was leisurely practicing his Zhong Yun Sword Technique in his courtyard.


    Suddenly, the gate to his yard burst open, and a person ran in panting heavily¡ªit was Zhong Lei.


    Zhong Yun nced at the breathless Zhong Lei, ¡°Is the monthly exam over?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s over,¡± Zhong Lei steadied his breath, took a deep inhtion, and said, ¡°Uncle, Yang Xiaotian has returned.¡±


    ¡°Oh!¡± Zhong Yun stopped practicing his swordsmanship and smiled, ¡°He¡¯s back, that¡¯s good! So, Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei crossed swords? Did Guo Wei use the power of his four Sword Hearts?¡±


    Zhong Lei nodded, his expressionplex, ¡°He did, but Yang Xiaotian, he has condensed the Nine-Colored Sword Heart.¡±


    Zhong Yun was stunned, his hands trembling uncontrobly, ¡°Nine Colored Sword Heart?!¡±


    ¡°Yes, and not just one but three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡±

    Trantor: 549690339


    Zhong Yun couldn¡¯t help but be momentarily distracted.


    Three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!


    Yang Xiaotian actually condensed three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!


    However, immediately afterward, his heart surged with murderous intent.


    It seemed that Yang Xiaotian must be eliminated.


    Otherwise, in a few more years, the trouble would be endless.


    Momentster, just as Zhong Lei was about to leave, Zhong Yun suddenly remembered something and instructed Zhong Lei to track down the whereabouts of Zhang Hao and Chen Lingyun among six others, saying that it was an order from the Mohe Divine Sect.


    Upon learning that Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and the other four had gone missing after arriving at the Tiandou Imperial City, Zhong Lei eximed in astonishment, ¡°Missing!¡±


    Zhong Yun¡¯s face was extremely grave, ¡°Indeed, they have been missing for many days. I fear that in a few days¡¯ time, the Mohe Divine Sect will send even more experts here.¡±


    Chen Lingyun was a Saint Realm, and the disappearance of an elder of the Saint Realm from the Mohe Divine Sect was definitely a matter of great urgency.


    Zhong Lei also realized the gravity of the situation.


    ¡°These days, you must put aside all other matters and concentrate on finding the whereabouts of Elder Chen and the others,¡± Zhong Yun specifically instructed.


    Zhong Lei respectfullyplied.


    After defeating Guo Wei, Yang Xiaotian imed the first ce in the first-year monthly exam.


    However, he did not stay long at the Tiandou Academy and returned to his own residence.


    Just as the Tiandou Academy¡¯s monthly exam had ended not long before, an elegant and striking beauty appeared at the entrance of the academy¡ªit was none other than Tian Meiling, one of the three great geniuses of the Inner Court Student of Tiandou Academy.


    Tian Meiling had gone to train in the Liuli Imperial Country for over a month and had just returned today.


    ¡°What, the new student of this session, Yang Xiaotian, has condensed three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts?¡± Tian Meiling had just returned when Inner Court Student Tang Lin reported to her.


    ¡°Yes, and he has also cultivated two Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery realm!¡± Tang Lin added.


    ¡°Two Supreme Divine Powers, Summit Mastery!¡± Tian Meiling was utterly shocked.


    During her training in the Liuli Imperial Country, she had the great opportunity to cultivate one Supreme Divine Power to the peak of the Perfection Realm, which already filled her with joy.


    But a new student had cultivated two Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery!


    That was not all. Tang Lin continued, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, his talent in alchemy is also defying the heavens. It is said that he has crafted an exceptionally high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without using a Medicine Cauldron.¡±


    Without using a Medicine Cauldron!


    Tian Meiling was greatly shocked, her face filled with disbelief.


    Was there actually someone who could sessfully craft elixirs without a Medicine Cauldron?


    ¡°Has Yang Xiaotian¡¯s background been thoroughly investigated?¡± After a long pause, Tian Meiling inquired.


    ¡°It has been rified,¡± Tang Lin swiftly responded. ¡°Hees from the Yang Family Manor in Xingyue City of the Divine Sea Country. This Yang Family Manor is an extremely weak force; its manor lord is just a minor Innate Fifth Layer.¡±


    ¡°Right, Yang Xiaotian had offended Wang Fan and Liu Shuang from the Medicine Hall a few days ago.¡±


    She then recounted the incident when Yang Xiaotian, apanied by Wu Qi, stormed into the Pharmacist Hall a few days earlier and nearly sted Liu Shuang to death.


    ¡°The Empire Pharmacist Hall has already sent experts down here. They must be arriving today, intending to capture Yang Xiaotian and bring him back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to face charges,¡± Tang Lin shook her head. ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, who could he have offended if not Wang Fan and Liu Shuang?¡±


    Everyone knew that Wang Fan¡¯s brother was the Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    Tian Meiling pondered, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, he could be of use to us.¡±


    Tang Lin was astonished, ¡°Sister, you want him to join our Sword Alliance?¡±


    Tian Meiling was one of the three great geniuses of the Inner Court of Tiandou Academy, and with the help of her family¡¯s power, she established an organization within the academy called the Sword Alliance.


    Ny percent of the Sword Alliance¡¯s members were Inner Court Students of Tiandou Academy, representing a considerable force.


    Tian Meiling nodded, ¡°Yang Xiaotian has such talent in alchemy, he could craft elixirs for our Sword Alliance in the future.¡±


    Tang Lin understood Tian Meiling¡¯s intention; their Sword Alliance had to purchase arge batch of elixirs every month for their own use, which was a significant expenditure. If Yang Xiaotian could craft elixirs for their Sword Alliance, they would be able to save on this huge cost.


    ¡°Only, Yang Xiaotian might not be willing,¡± Tang Lin said.


    In in words, Tian Meiling wanted Yang Xiaotian to craft elixirs for the Sword Alliance for free in the future.


    Tian Meiling said confidently with a smile, ¡°Unwilling? Hees from the modest Yang Family Manor and has only managed to attract one Emperor Realm expert. Now he has offended the Empire Pharmacist Hall, and no one can protect him.¡±


    ¡°As long as he joins my Sword Alliance, both my Sword Alliance and the Tian Family can offer him protection, and settle the matter with the Empire Pharmacist Hall for him.¡±


    ¡°If he doesn¡¯t join my Sword Alliance, it¡¯s a dead end for him!¡±


    ¡°Therefore, he must join my Sword Alliance. Even if he¡¯s reluctant, he has no choice but to join.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence is near the academy, shall I go there now?¡± Tang Lin asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Tian Meiling pondered.


    Thus, the two made their way to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    Yang Xiaotian was in the courtyard practicing the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique when Ate came in to report that there was someone named Tian Meiling from Tiandou Academy asking to see him.


    ¡°Tian Meiling?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    He certainly knew who Tian Meiling was alongside He Qingzhe and Chen Jun, she was hailed as one of the three great geniuses of the Inner Court of Tiandou Academy, and moreover, she came from the Tian Family of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    The Tian Family was one of the oldest noble families in the Divine Dragon Empire, with their influence spread throughout the cities of the empire, an enormous entity.


    ¡°Let her in,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Soon, Ate led Tian Meiling and Tang Lin inside.


    Tian Meiling, dressed in a Luo skirt, exuded a heroic spirit and possessed a distinct kind of beauty.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, she didn¡¯t circumvent pleasantries but went straight to the point.


    ¡°Join your Sword Alliance?¡± Yang Xiaotian did not expect Tian Meiling¡¯s visit was to propose his joining the Sword Alliance.


    ¡°Correct, join my Sword Alliance,¡± Tian Meiling said. ¡°You¡¯ve offended the Empire Pharmacist Hall. By joining our Sword Alliance, both the Alliance and the Tian Family can protect you.¡±


    ¡°However, upon joining our Sword Alliance, you¡¯ll need to craft elixirs for us every month.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Craft elixirs for your Sword Alliance?¡±


    He had grasped Tian Meiling¡¯s intention.


    It seemed she wanted to use him as a sort of alchemy ve.


    Many great families kept alchemy ves; these ves had to follow the families¡¯ orders to craft elixirs every month. What elixirs to craft and in what quantity was dictated by these families.


    If they failed toplete their tasks, these alchemy ves would suffer.


    Sure enough, Tian Meiling said, ¡°Exactly, you will craft elixirs for our Sword Alliance in the future, and I will tell you what elixirs when the timees.¡±


    She was about to continue, but Yang Xiaotian interrupted her directly, ¡°Both of you, please return.¡±


    He had no interest in hearing more.


    Tian Meiling paused and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, think it over carefully. Experts from the Empire Pharmacist Hall are probably on their way here, and if you don¡¯t join our Sword Alliance, they will surely capture you and take you back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to answer for your offenses!¡±


    As she spoke, she nced at the side at Wu Qi, ¡°That must be the Emperor Realm expert by your side, right? Let me tell you, the Empire Pharmacist Hall has sent two Martial Venerables this time¡ªhe can¡¯t protect youpletely.¡±


    ¡°Also, if he dares to intervene, the experts from the Pharmacist Hall will simply crush him to death!¡±

 Chapter 175 - 175 Yang Xiaotian, You Finally Came Out

    Chapter 175: Yang Xiaotian, You Finally Came Out


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Oh, two Martial Venerable experts have arrived?¡± Yang Xiaotianughed.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s indifferent expression, Tian Meiling¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and she said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m joking?¡± Then she said, ¡°People from the Pharmacist Hall won¡¯t joke with you.¡±


    ¡°I know your sister is now at the True Dragon Divine Sect, but there is no guarantee that the people from True Dragon Divine Sect will send someone to save you.¡±


    ¡°This Martial Emperor beside you, although strong, is simply no match for a Martial Venerable. A Martial Venerable could crush a peak Martial Emperor with a flip of their hand.¡±


    She continued, ¡°If you are captured and taken back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall, you will surely be imprisoned in the poison prison, which is filled with all kinds of poisonous insects and toxic substances. Whoever is locked in there is tortured to the point of no longer resembling a human or a ghost.¡±


    ¡°It will be difficult for you to get out.¡±


    ¡°Even if the people from True Dragon Divine Sect decide to save you for your sister¡¯s sake, by the time they rescue you, you will have already been crippled.¡±


    Tian Meiling patiently analyzed the pros and cons for Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°If you join our Sword Alliance, I guarantee that the people from the Empire Pharmacist Hall wouldn¡¯t dare touch you,¡± she said.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°Not interested; I¡¯ll have to ask you both to leave.¡±


    Tian Meiling¡¯s pretty face sank, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, have you really thought this through?¡±


    ¡°This matter doesn¡¯t really need much thinking,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    Tian Meiling¡¯s expression soured, ¡°Fine, if that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t force you.¡± With that, she left with Tang Lin.


    Once outside Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence, Tang Lin snorted coldly, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him. Senior Sister Tian wants to save him, but he doesn¡¯t appreciate it.¡±


    Tian Meiling scoffed, ¡°He won¡¯t realize what he¡¯s lost until he¡¯s backed into a corner. He¡¯s still clinging to a sliver of hope, but once the people from Empire Pharmacist Hall arrive, he¡¯ll understand what true despair is, and then he¡¯ll regret not joining our Sword Alliance.¡±


    At this moment, inside the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall, arge group of experts from the Medicine Hall stood.


    At the forefront were He Jianmu and He Jianhe, the two Martial Venerables from the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    The two were brothers and usually carried out missions together.


    Behind He Jianmu and He Jianhe were Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, and a group of other high-ranking experts from the Medicine Hall.


    Although Wang Fan was the Hall Master of the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall, his status was somewhat inferior to that of He Jianmu and He Jianhe.


    Due to Wang Fan¡¯s orders, the hole in the roof of the hall had not been repaired and was still leaking sunlight.


    Wind continued to blow in through the hole in the roof.


    The breeze lifted a few wisps of dust within therge hall.


    Both He Jianmu and He Jianhe looked at the hole in the roof with dark expressions.


    It could be said that ny percent of the elixirs from the Divine Dragon Empire came from their Medicine Hall; hence, the Empire Alchemy Hall had a lofty status within the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Normally, even the Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire wouldn¡¯t dare to easily offend their Medicine Hall.


    And now, a mere Martial King had the audacity to break into the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall, not only injuring several of its high-ranking experts but also destroying the hall to such a state!


    It was a tant disregard for their Medicine Hall.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s name is Yang Xiaotian, right?¡± He Jianmu asked coldly.


    ¡°Yes, his name is Yang Xiaotian,¡± Wang Fan promptly replied. ¡°He is currently a student of Tiandou Academy and was the top-ranked recruit in this year¡¯s entrance examination.¡±


    Liu Shuang quickly added, ¡°The two Lords are unaware, but this Yang Xiaotian, relying on his talent and favored by Xie Hong and Fan Riquan, is excessively arrogant and unruly.¡±


    ¡°He came to the Medicine Hall, not only severely injuring us but also stealing arge number of rare spiritual medicines from the hall.¡±


    Upon hearing this, He Jianmu scoffed, ¡°Talented? What kind of genius have we not seen in the Empire? The one thing the Supreme Sects of the Empire are not short of is geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Any kind of genius, once they¡¯re in our poison prison, will end up crying for life or begging for death, regretting their existence in this world.¡±


    He asked Wang Fan and Liu Shuang, ¡°Is Yang Xiaotian currently in Tiandou Imperial City?¡±


    ¡°Yes, his residence is near Tiandou Academy.¡±


    ¡°Take us there now.¡±


    Thus, arge group of experts from the Medicine Hall soared through the sky towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    He Jianmu and He Jianhe, emanating the aura of Martial Venerables, left the various strongholds of Tiandou Imperial City trembling with fear and amazement.


    ¡°Martial Venerables!¡±


    ¡°The Empire Pharmacist Hall has sent Martial Venerables to capture Yang Xiaotian for questioning!¡±


    Soon, word had spread that the Empire Pharmacist Hall had sent Martial Venerables to apprehend Yang Xiaotian for questioning.


    Tian Meiling and Tang Lin, who were on their way back to Tiandou Academy, stopped in their tracks when they saw He Jianmu, He Jianhe, and arge group of experts flying towards them from afar.


    ¡°It¡¯s He Jianmu and He Jianhe!¡± Tian Meiling recognized the two with a start.


    These two were not ordinary Martial Venerables, but experts of the second realm of Martial Venerable.


    Moreover, both were masters of Sword Dao, and it was rumoured that both had reached the realm of swordsmanship without a sword.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe the Empire Pharmacist Hall actually sent the He brothers,¡± Tang Lin, who had also heard of the two¡¯s reputation, said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian definitely won¡¯t escape this time!¡±


    Tian Meiling, watching He Jianmu and the others flying towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence, said, ¡°Let¡¯s follow them.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t join our Sword Alliance, would he? In a moment, he¡¯ll surely be begging to join.¡±


    In no time, He Jianmu, He Jianhe, and arge group from the Medicine Hall arrived at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    Looking at the majestic gates of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence, He Jianmumanded, ¡°No need to notify anyone inside, just st the gates open and capture Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Shuang dlyplied, stepping forward and personally striking out with both fists, ferociously pounding the gates of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    Boom!


    The tightly closed gates of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence were sent flying by Liu Shuang¡¯s punches, crashing into the front courtyard.


    The green stones of the courtyard were smashed and scattered.


    He Jianmu, He Jianhe, and a host of Medicine Hall experts filed in one after the other.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s servants, hearing themotion, surged out.


    ¡°Kill anyone who dares to block the way!¡± He Jianmu coldly ordered, facing the swarm of advancing servants.


    Upon hearing this, Liu Shuang immediately unsheathed his sword, his Sword Qi violently sting towards the advancing servants, whilemanding his elite subordinates, ¡°Lord He has spoken, kill them all, take action!¡±


    The eyes of the Medicine Hall experts behind him reddened as they surged forward.


    Just when the Medicine Hall experts were prepared to indulge in the ughter, they saw the servants form Sword Arrays in groups of ten, their Sword Qi crisscrossing, forcing the Medicine Hall experts back, unable to advance.


    Seeing this, Liu Shuang sneered, his True Yuan of the Martial Ancestor realm streaming into his sword, instantly sting a group of servants away.


    ¡°Kill them all!¡±


    ¡°A bunch of oblivious ves, should you dare obstruct further, I¡¯ll have all of your heads chopped off!¡±


    Just as Liu Shuang¡¯s haughty voice rang out, several figures appeared, walking out from the backyard.


    It was Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, Liu An, and Luo Qing among others.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian emerge, Liu Shuang sneered, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve finallye out.¡±

 Chapter 176 - 176 Go Back and Tell Wang Zhou

    Chapter 176: Go Back and Tell Wang Zhou


    Trantor: 549690339


    Liu Shuangughed arrogantly.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Liu Shuang, his gaze falling on the two sted gates. He spoke coldly, ¡°Who sted them?¡±


    Liu Shuang chuckled, ¡°It was me who sted them. Yang Xiaotian, the gates of your mansion are as rubbish as you. I didn¡¯t even try hard, and they were reduced to this state.¡±


    All his menughed as well.


    At this moment, He Jianmu stepped forward, looking down at Yang Xiaotian as if he were an ant on the ground, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, right? Was it you who led your men to barge into the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall and injure a group of pharmacists there?¡±


    ¡°And also stole a batch of rare medicinal herbs from the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall?¡±


    Stole a batch of rare medicinal herbs?


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Liu Shuang and Wang Fan, his master and disciple, and stated, ¡°We did injure those people, but the herbs, I bought them with real gold. Liu Shuang lost the wager and said that I could choose any herbs I wanted from the Medicine Hall.¡±


    He Jianhe spoke coldly, ¡°Still trying to argue when you¡¯re on the brink of death! Yang Xiaotian, will you obedientlye back with us to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to face your punishment, or do we need to take action?¡±


    ¡°I advise you toe back with us to the Empire Pharmacist Hall. You¡¯ll suffer less that way. If we have to take action, we¡¯ll break your bones first before dragging you back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at He Jianhe, ¡°Break my bones?¡± He shook his head, ¡°I advise you to leave my property now and then roll back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall. If youy a hand on me, you might find it difficult to leaveter.¡±


    At Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, the experts from the Pharmacist Hall were in an uproar.


    Even Tian Meiling and Tang Lin, who were following behind, were stunned.


    Had Yang Xiaotian lost his mind to be spouting such madness?


    To actually dare tell He Jianmu and He Jianhe to roll back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall?


    Even the Tiandou Emperor wouldn¡¯t dare tell He Jianmu and He Jianhe to roll back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    After his initial surprise, Liu Shuang let out a cold snicker. This Yang Xiaotian, blind as a bat, actually dared to tell He Jianmu and He Jianhe to roll back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    He simply didn¡¯t know what death spelled like.


    Now, nobody could save him.


    Wang Fan also watched Yang Xiaotian with schadenfreude. It seemed there was no need to take Yang Xiaotian back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall as He Jianmu and He Jianhe, in their fury, might just dispose of Yang Xiaotian right on the spot.


    Sure enough, He Jianhe, upon hearing a mere Martial King like Yang Xiaotian tell him to roll back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall, flew into a great rage. He swung his w suddenly towards the top of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, ¡°I¡¯ll cripple you now, and let¡¯s see who dares to stop me, who dares to protect you!¡±


    If this w were to connect, even if Yang Xiaotian did not die, his head would be left with five finger-sized holes.


    The might of a Martial Venerable¡¯s w was enough to split mountains and crack the earth.


    Seeing He Jianhe¡¯s hand reaching for Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi¡¯s expression changed and he was about to make a move, when suddenly, the sky, previously clear and sunny, darkened.


    An overwhelming fierce beast¡¯s aura swept out like a tsunami, stifling the breath of everyone around. They turned in shock only to see that at some point, a beast as huge as a mountain had materialized behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Gazing at the monstrous beast resembling a dragon or a flood dragon standing tall, its blood-red and voracious eyes,rge likekes, looked down at them. Everyone, including Wang Fan and Liu Shuang, trembled, their eyes wide in horror.


    What is this?!


    Martial Venerable? Or Martial Emperor?!


    In He Jianhe¡¯s terrified gaze, the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s mountain-sized w swooped down towards the top of his head.


    The terrifying force made the surrounding space roar with waves of air.


    He Jianhe, seeing the huge w crashing down, bellowed in rm and fury while his entire body¡¯s True Yuan circted wildly. Innumerable strands of Sword Qi burst forth as his fingers turned into swords, unleashing a powerful strike towards the descending colossal w.


    ¡°Open for me!¡±


    Ten astonishing beams of Sword Qi formed pirs that thundered towards the gigantic w.


    He Jianmu also roared, his ten fingers turning into swords as well, sting out ten remarkable pirs of Sword Qi towards the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s huge w.


    The ck Flood Dragon King snorted coldly upon seeing this, ignoring the opponent¡¯s column of Sword Qi, his mountainous dragon w continued to m down.


    Crash!


    He Jianhe¡¯s ten Sword Qi columns were instantly sted apart, and the dragon w continued to plummet.


    When He Jianmu¡¯s Sword Qi column struck the dragon w, it was as though he hit Dragon Mountain itself, and was instead scattered by the impact.


    In the midst of the thunderous noise, He Jianhe was seen being smashed into the ground by the dragon w.


    That wasn¡¯t all the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s draconic w continued to stomp down, burying him deep beneath the earth¡¯s surface.


    The continual booming noise was deafening as everyone watched He Jianhe being stamped into the ground, their faces filled with terror as they scrambled backward.


    Immediately after, the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s massive tail swept across with terrifying speed, wielding destructive power.


    It sent Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, and He Jianmu, along with the rest of the Medicine Hall experts, flying through the air.


    Where the colossal dragon tail passed, no one could block, no one could resist.


    Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, and He Jianmu crashed through numerous courtyard walls, rolling into the street outside thepound.


    Yang Xiaotian did not look at He Jianhe, who was crushed into the deep pit, and walked towards Liu Shuang.


    Liu Shuang, struck by the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s tail, felt all his bones shattered, bleeding profusely. Gazing at Yang Xiaotian approaching, his face disyed fright while his voice was weak and hoarse, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, what do you want to do?!¡±


    Without a word, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch,nding it firmly on Liu Shuang¡¯s belly.


    It was still Perfection Realm Asura Force.


    The Asura Force savagely destroyed Liu Shuang¡¯s internal organs, annihting his big belly.


    With that punch, Liu Shuang nearly threw up his liver, covering his belly, tears flowing from the agony, his face contorted.


    ¡°Was I the one who stole the herbs from your Medicine Hall?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked expressionlessly.


    Liu Shuang shook his head vigorously, mustering all his strength, ¡°No, it wasn¡¯t.¡±


    Yang Xiaotiannded another punch on Liu Shuang¡¯s belly.


    This punch bulged Liu Shuang¡¯s eyes and cracked the ground beneath him. His body bent like a dead shrimp, in so much pain he wanted to faint but couldn¡¯t pass out.


    Yang Xiaotian then approached Wang Fan.


    Wang Fan¡¯s face was filled with terror.


    Without a word, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch, hitting Wang Fan¡¯s belly.


    It was still Perfection Realm Asura Force.


    Then another punch followed.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian used the same method to hammer each of the other Medicine Hall experts one by one, having each of them taste the Perfection Realm Asura Force once or twice.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze finally settled on Tian Meiling and Tang Lin.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze, the two great beauties turned pale with fright.


    They had just witnessed how some of the Medicine Hall experts had been hit so hard by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two punches that they soiled themselves; if they were hit with two punches, wouldn¡¯t they¡­?


    ¡°Haven¡¯t you two left yet?¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke, ¡°Then, please do me a favor and call someone over to carry Liu Shuang and the others back.¡±


    Relieved by the nature of the task, Tian Meiling and Tang Lin hurriedly nodded their heads, and only after Yang Xiaotian left did they feel like they had survived a great disaster.


    As Yang Xiaotian passed by He Jianhe, looking at him lying in the pit on the ground, he said, ¡°Wang Fan and Liu Shuang have been covering the sky with one hand in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Pharmacist Hall, the bullies among the bullies. Not only did you fail to capture and question them, but you also helped a tyrant do evil!¡±


    ¡°Go back and tell Wang Zhou that if the Empire Pharmacist Hall sends people again, death!¡±

 Chapter 177: It Must Be a Rumor

    Chapter 177: It Must Be a Rumor


    Trantor: 549690339


    Wang Zhou was indeed Wang Fan¡¯s brother, the Grand Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    He Jianhe wanted to say something, but in the end, he fainted.


    Soon, people from the Medicine Hall came over to carry Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, He Jianmu, and the rest back. As they were being carried away, everyone fled as if they were unsteady on their feet.


    Of course, the people from the Medicine Hall also took the trouble to clean up the mess left on the ground nearby.


    In the inner courtyard of Tiandou Academy, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, Lin Xiao, and others were stunned for a long time when they learned that He Jianmu, He Jianhe, and the others had all been carried back.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian has tamed a Flood Dragon?!¡± Lin Xiao stuttered in disbelief.


    Was Yang Xiaotian also a Beast Tamer?


    Back at the enrollment assessment, he had even forced Yang Xiaotian to summon his fierce beast. Now looking back, Lin Xiao only felt cold sweat streaming down his back.


    No wonder his Zhu Yan fierce beast didn¡¯t dare to make a move against Yang Xiaotian back then.


    It must have been that his Zhu Yan had sensed the aura of that Flood Dragon, which was why it didn¡¯t dare to attack Yang Xiaotian.


    Xiao Yong also had aplicated expression on his face as he said, ¡°I never thought that Yang Xiaotian would be a Beast Tamer who has tamed such a powerful Flood Dragon. Both Lord He Jianmu and Lord He Jianhe are Martial Venerable secondyer experts, could Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Flood Dragon be at the strength of a Martial Venerable fourthyer?¡±


    Martial Venerable fourthyer!


    He Qingzhe and the others trembled inwardly. He Qingzhe, thinking of how he had repeatedly wanted to make a move against Yang Xiaotian, couldn¡¯t help but feel chilled to the bone. Although he was at the pinnacle of Martial Ancestor, his strength was nothing in front of a Martial Venerable fourthyer Flood Dragon. It was a matter of a single w swipe.


    No, not even a w swipe would be necessary.


    Probably a mere fart from it could knock him out cold.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s life became much more peaceful.


    He spent his days in the courtyard cultivating the thirty-two volumes of Supreme Divine Power and Skywalking Thousand Swords he obtained from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure.


    When he had free time, he would keeppany with his parents.


    Sometimes, Yang Xiaotian would also visit the Sword Tower toprehend the Sword Wall.


    The students inside the Sword Tower would flee upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, just like before.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    In that half a month, Yang Xiaotian finally brought his Skywalking Thousand Swords cultivation to the Perfection Realm.


    After cultivating Skywalking Thousand Swords to the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian went to the outskirts of Tiandou Imperial City, disyed the divine skill of Skywalking Thousand Swords, and enjoyed the thrill of flying high in the sky.


    During these days of cultivation, Yang Xiaotian did not forget to ask Luo Qing and the others to continue investigating and looking for news about the Innate Sword Spirit.


    Now, although he had cultivated the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and the Shocking Heaven Sword Art to the Perfection Realm, it was still far from enough to condense a top-grade Golden Core.


    Therefore, he still had to continue searching for the Innate Sword Spirit.


    At the same time, he also had Luo Qing and others inquire about the Five Elements Origin Spirits.


    His cultivation of the Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint was a supreme golden series divine skill. If he could obtain the origin spirit of the golden series and refine it, he would also be able to cultivate his Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint to the Summit Mastery Realm.


    The same went for the other Supreme Divine Powers.


    Thanks to the Blood Dragon Spirit Energy from the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art was progressing much faster. At this rate, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could break through to the sixthyer of Martial King.


    In order to help the Azure Thunder Python and the ck Flood Dragon King return their bloodline to their ancestry, Yang Xiaotian chose a Long n Technique from the treasures left by Hong Feng for the two beasts to cultivate.


    Although this Long n Technique was not as powerful as his Primordial Dragon Art, it was still a very strong technique from the Ancient Dragon n.


    Meanwhile, He Jianmu and He Jianhe also returned to the Empire Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Wang Zhou listened to the two¡¯s reports in meticulous detail, his expression as dark as the still water.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian said that if our Empire Pharmacist Hall sends more people over, they will die!¡± He Jianmu lowered his head, his voice as weak as a mosquito.


    Wang Zhou¡¯s eyes turned cold, ¡°Reckless fool! He really thinks he can defy our Empire Pharmacist Hall just because he has a Jiaolong by his side!¡± Then he asked, ¡°Based on your judgment, what is the strength of that Jiaolong?¡±


    He Jianhe recalled and said, ¡°It should be at the fourth or fifth level of Martial Venerable, and it might even be at the seventh level.¡±


    However, even he could not be certain of the exact strength of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Flood Dragon King.


    Because at that time, the ck Flood Dragon King had only used one w to strike and a tail sweep, not revealing its true strength.


    Wang Zhoumanded in a deep voice, ¡°Go and summon Fang Heng.¡±


    He Jianmu and He Jianhe were both surprised.


    ¡°Is the Great Elder intending to send Lord Fang Heng to Tiandou Imperial City?¡± He Jianmu asked cautiously.


    Fang Heng was a peak Martial Venerable at the tenth level!


    Moreover, he was a peak tenth-level Martial Venerable who was half a step into the Emperor Realm.


    Wang Zhou said coldly, ¡°Correct, let Fang Heng go!¡±


    He Jianmu and He Jianhe looked at each other and ultimately responded with respect.


    After a while, Fang Heng arrived in front of Wang Zhou.


    ¡°Capture Yang Xiaotian and bring him back, he must not be allowed to escape! And that Jiaolong, have its sinews pulled out, its skin peeled off!¡± Wang Zhou spoke sternly, ¡°Chop off its Jiaolong head and hang it above the gate of Tiandou Imperial City!¡±


    ¡°Kill without mercy anyone who dares to obstruct!¡±


    Fang Heng nodded, ¡°I understand.¡± After speaking, he broke through the air and departed, vanishing into the sky in the blink of an eye.


    Not long after Fang Heng left, Wang Zhou¡¯s disciple Wu You came in to report that the Grand Hall Master wanted to see Wang Zhou.


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master has ended his seclusion?¡± Wang Zhou was surprised.


    Empire Alchemy Hall¡¯s Hall Master, Shi Yongping, had been in seclusion these past days, refining Holy Pills.


    ¡°Yes, the Grand Hall Master hase out of seclusion now,¡± Wu You replied respectfully and then hesitated, ¡°It seems the Grand Hall Master¡¯splexion isn¡¯t quite right.¡±


    ¡°He asked for you, Master, toe immediately.¡±


    Come immediately?


    Wang Zhou furrowed his brows, then left the courtyard to head towards the main hall of the Pharmacist Hall.


    Arriving at the main hall, he found not just Hall Master Shi Yongping, but the Second Elder Chen Nian was also present. Seeing Chen Nian, Wang Zhou¡¯s expression darkened; Chen Nian opposed him at every turn.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± Wang Zhou saluted with his fist.


    Shi Yongping turned his head and looked at Wang Zhou, ¡°Wang Zhou, I heard that a few days ago you sent the He brothers to capture a child named Yang Xiaotian from Tiandou Imperial City?¡±


    Listening to Shi Yongping¡¯s questioning, Wang Zhou exined, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian iswless and unbridled. A few days ago, he led people into our Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Pharmacist Hall, not only severely injuring several of our Medicine Hall¡¯s expert pharmacists but also stealing arge amount of precious medicinal materials.¡±


    But before he could finish speaking, Shi Yongping interrupted, ¡°Stealing arge amount of precious medicinal materials from the Medicine Hall?¡± Then he scolded, ¡°Wang Zhou, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what really happened!¡±


    ¡°You really think the Empire Alchemy Hall is your Wang Family property? To use whomever you wish as you please?¡±


    He continued to rebuke, ¡°Yang Xiaotian,st year at the age of eight, won first ce in the Divine Sea Country Pharmacist Competition. With such alchemy talent, why has no one reported it to me?¡±


    Just as Wang Zhou was about to reply, Shi Yongping scolded him again, ¡°Also, Yang Xiaotian managed to refine top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron. Why has no one reported this unparalleled alchemy talent to me?¡±


    However, Wang Zhou calmly replied, ¡°Refine top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron? Such an absurdity must certainly be a rumor.¡±

 Chapter 178 - 178 You Better Get Down Now

    Chapter 178: You Better Get Down Now


    Trantor: 549690339


    ¡°Rumors?¡± Chen Nian sneered, ¡°Yang Xiaotian concocted supreme-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid at the Medicine Hall in Tiandou Imperial City without using a Medicine Cauldron, witnessed by many n disciples and pharmacists who were present.¡±


    However, Wang Zhou¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he said, ¡°Sometimes what people see isn¡¯t necessarily the truth.¡± Then, turning to Shi Yongping, he added, ¡°If the Grand Hall Master has no further matters, I will take my leave.¡±


    Without waiting for Shi Yongping¡¯s response, he sped his fists and turned to leave.


    Once Wang Zhou had left, Chen Nian said angrily, ¡°Grand Hall Master, Wang Zhou has been growing increasingly arrogant with the backing of the Sky-Stepping Sect. Now, he doesn¡¯t even regard you with respect.¡±


    Shi Yongping watched Wang Zhou¡¯s departing figure with a dark expression.


    Ever since Wang Zhou gained support from the Sky-Stepping Sect, his attitude toward Shi Yongping had gradually changed. Shi Yongping knew that Wang Zhou harbored ambitions for his position as the Grand Master of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    In the past, Wang Zhou didn¡¯t dare to show his intentions openly, but with the Sky-Stepping Sect behind him, his actions became more and more apparent.


    Wang Zhou had malicious intentions, and if he were to be the Grand Master of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, the Medicine Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire and all its subordinate Medicine Halls would be doomed.


    Yet, thinking of the mighty Sky-Stepping Sect, Shi Yongping sighed inwardly.


    In recent years, the power of the Sky-Stepping Sect had been growing stronger, capable of contesting the Divine Dragon Empire. There were even rumors that the Sky-Stepping Sect intended to annihte the Imperial Family of the Divine Dragon Empire and take its ce.


    Returning from the Grand Hall to his own courtyard, Wang Zhou was met by his disciple Wu You.


    ¡°Master, what did the Grand Hall Master want with you?¡± Wu You asked cautiously.


    Wang Zhou sneered, ¡°Just an old man on his deathbed fussing over that Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    The thought of Shi Yongping reprimanding him in front of Chen Nian made Wang Zhou even more displeased.


    Yang Xiaotian? Wu You hesitated, ¡°Should we call Fang Heng back then?¡±


    Wu You thought, now that Shi Yongping was aware of Yang Xiaotian, it would be inappropriate for Fang Heng to continue his assassination attempt.


    Upon hearing this, Wang Zhou replied coldly, ¡°Why call Fang Heng back? Now that that old man Shi knows of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s existence, it¡¯s all the more reason Yang Xiaotian must die.¡±


    He then handed a token to Wu You, ¡°Take my token and inform Zeng Biao to make a trip to Tiandou Imperial City right away. He and Fang Heng are to join forces and kill Yang Xiaotian for me directly; there¡¯s no need to bring Yang Xiaotian back.¡±


    Wu You was stunned, ¡°Kill him directly?¡±


    Zeng Biao, like Fang Heng, was at the peak of Martial Venerable Level Ten.


    To think that the Master would send two Martial Venerables at the peak of Level Ten to eliminate Yang Xiaotian?


    Wang Zhou nodded, ¡°Go.¡±


    Wu You opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately gave a respectful acknowledgment and withdrew.


    Watching Wu You depart, Wang Zhou turned and entered the inner chamber. After a while, he left the courtyard and flew in the direction of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Another ten days passed.


    During these ten days, Yang Xiaotian continued as before, cultivating the thirty-two Supreme Divine Powers of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure in the courtyard and visiting the Sword Tower toprehend the Sword Wall.


    After ten days, he had reached the eighth level of the Sword Tower.


    However, after condensing four Sword Hearts, he was still unable to condense the fifth.


    One day, as Yang Xiaotian was cultivating one of the Long n¡¯s Supreme Divine Skills in the courtyard, suddenly, an astonishing presence descended upon Tiandou Imperial City.


    The sheer strength of this presence sent a shiver through the numerous powerhouses of the Imperial City.


    ¡°Is this an Emperor Realm? A Great Emperor powerhouse?¡±


    As the powerhouses of Tiandou Imperial City spected in fear, a tall figure appeared above the city.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Grand Master of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, Fang Heng!¡± Some of the powerhouses recognized therge figure in the sky.


    The news had no sooner broken than various powerhouses in Tiandou Imperial City were shaken to their core.


    Soon after, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, Zhong Yun, and others had learned of the arrival of Fang Heng from the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lord Fang Heng! The Empire Pharmacist Hall has actually sent Lord Fang Heng here!¡± Guo Wei was greatly shaken andughed loudly, ¡°This time Yang Xiaotian is as good as dead!¡±


    Although Fang Heng was only at the pinnacle of the Martial Venerable tenfold, his reputation was enormous, no less than many Great Emperor powerhouses. The legends about Fang Heng were too numerous to count.


    It could be said that Fang Heng was the most legendary Sword Dao genius among the young generation in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    He was also the most legendary Pharmacist talent in the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s world of Pharmacists.


    Many geniuses practiced hard all their lives and still struggled to achieve the status of Martial Venerable.


    But Fang Heng, having practiced for less than forty years, had already reached the pinnacle of Martial Venerable and was half a step into the Emperor Realm.


    Many powerhouses dered that within a year, Fang Heng would step into the Emperor Realm.


    An Emperor Realm cultivator in his forties, how stunning, how monstrous.


    Because of this, the young talents of the various kingdoms under the Divine Dragon Empire were fanatically devoted to him.


    Guo Wei was one of those who admired Fang Heng endlessly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll head over to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence and see how Lord Fang Heng deals with Yang Xiaotian!¡± Guo Wei said excitedly. Then, dragging Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong, they rushed to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence at top speed, for fear of missing a spectacr moment.


    He Qingzhe, Tian Meiling, and even Chen Jun stopped their cultivation upon hearing that Fang Heng had arrived and hastened to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence as quickly as they could.


    Almost instantly, powerhouses from all over Tiandou Imperial City started flocking towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    Some came to witness Fang Heng¡¯s captivating elegance; others wanted to see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s downfall.


    Fang Heng, seeing the powerhouses from various factions of Tiandou Imperial City converging, paid them no heed and walked straight through the air towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    His pace was not fast, stepping through the sky, one step at a time, toward Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence.


    With each step he took, golden ripples echoed through the high skies.


    The powerhouses of Tiandou Imperial City were stunned at the sight, knowing full well that although Emperor Realm and Venerable Realm powerhouses could fly, they could not tread across the sky.


    Unless they were a Great Emperor.


    Yet, Fang Heng had done it.


    ¡°Lord Fang Heng truly is the legendary talent of our Divine Dragon Empire!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that although Lord Fang Heng is at the peak of Martial Venerable, he can actually fight a Great Emperor powerhouse!¡±


    It¡¯smon knowledge that the difference between a Great Emperor and a Martial Venerable is like heaven and earth. A Great Emperor could easily obliterate a Venerable with one hand, yet Fang Heng could fight a Great Emperor while only being at the level of Martial Venerable¡ªhow astonishing!


    In the midst of the crowd¡¯s shock and fervent gazes, Fang Heng step by step treaded the skies and arrived above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard.


    Looking down at Yang Xiaotian, who was cultivating in the courtyard below, he said in an undisturbed voice, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, is that right?¡±


    At that moment, Guo Wei, He Qingzhe, Tian Meiling, Chen Jun, everyone had arrived, all holding their breath.


    Yang Xiaotian looked up at Fang Heng, standing aloft in the sky, looming above him, and said coldly, ¡°You had bettere down now!¡±


    This Fang Heng reminded him of the people from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, such as Jiu Wu and Lan Yi, back in the day.


    Back then, Jiu Wu, Lan Yi, and the others also stood aloft, high above, looking down on him.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, telling Fang Heng toe down, everyone was stunned, thinking they had misheard.


    Guo Wei eximed in anger, ¡°What is this Yang Xiaotian, an ignorant fool, daring to speak to Lord Fang Heng like this.¡±

 Chapter 179 - 179 Kill Them All

    Chapter 179: Kill Them All


    Trantor: 549690339


    Tang Lin, who was at Tian Meiling¡¯s side, heard Yang Xiaotian tell Fang Heng to roll down and also angrily said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, a mere Martial King, dares to be so insolent towards Lord Fang Heng!¡±


    ¡°Unforgivable!¡±


    Chen Jun, however, shook his head. This Yang Xiaotian, just like when he first met him, was still so arrogant.


    Unfortunately, this time Yang Xiaotian encountered Fang Heng from the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    Even Fang Heng was surprised; what kind of status did he have? Even the heads of many great families in the Empire were very courteous to him. And now, a little first-year student from the Tiandou Academy, upon opening his mouth, actually asked him to roll down?


    ¡°Telling me to roll down?¡± Fang Heng¡¯s voice still carried no ripples: ¡°Ignorant junior, call out that Flood Dragon of yours.¡±


    ¡°I will strip its tendons, peel its skin, chop off its Flood Dragon and hang it above the gates of Tiandou Imperial City, and then I will escort you back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall for punishment.¡±


    Fang Heng¡¯s voice resounded through Tiandou Imperial City.


    Just as Fang Heng finished speaking, suddenly, a figure broke through the sky from afar and came speeding over.


    Although the person had not yet arrived in Tiandou Imperial City, the overbearing aura surged forward like rolling waves, inundating Tiandou Imperial City.


    Everyone was shocked and turned to look, only to see the neer was a tall and robust man.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lord Zeng Biao from the Empire Pharmacist Hall!¡± Tian Meiling was taken aback.


    Zeng Biao!


    Upon hearing this name, everyone was deeply shaken.


    Zeng Biao, like Fang Heng, was a legend of the Divine Dragon Empire, and Zeng Biao¡¯s reputation was no less than that of Fang Heng.


    ¡°The Empire Pharmacist Hall has actually sent both Lord Fang Heng and Lord Zeng Biao here!¡±


    The crowd was buzzing with shock.


    Fang Heng was also surprised; he had not expected Zeng Biao toe as well.


    In the blink of an eye, Zeng Biao arrived above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s residence and stood beside Fang Heng.


    ¡°Lord Wang Zhou has said, Yang Xiaotian severely injured a steward of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, provoked the Empire Pharmacist Hall; his crime deserves death!¡± Zeng Biao said coldly.


    The steward he mentioned referred to He Jianmu and He Jianhe.


    Deserves death!


    Upon hearing Zeng Biao¡¯s words, the scene stirred up even more.


    Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and the others all showed excited faces.


    If anyone now wished for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s death the most, it would undoubtedly be Guo Wei.


    Tang Lin, hearing Zeng Biao sentence Yang Xiaotian to death, couldn¡¯t help but look towards Tian Meiling, knowing that Tian Meiling still wanted to bring Yang Xiaotian into the Sword Alliance.


    ¡°Sister Tian, should we save Yang Xiaotian?¡± Tang Lin asked.


    Tian Meiling shook her head with a bitter smile, ¡°Even if I wanted to save him, I couldn¡¯t.¡±


    The ones who hade were Fang Heng and Zeng Biao!


    Even if she spoke up, Fang Heng and Zeng Biao wouldn¡¯t show her any face.


    Unless her second uncle came in person.


    Fang Heng heard Zeng Biao convey Wang Zhou¡¯s order to kill Yang Xiaotian and frowned, saying, ¡°Then you do it.¡±


    He did not deign to kill a Martial King Realm.


    Zeng Biao hummed in agreement, not saying another word, and fiercely struck down with a palm towards Yang Xiaotian.


    A giant palm imprint fell from the high sky.


    This palm imprint, with thunderclouds stirring, actually contained the power of heavenly tribtion.


    An astonishing might of heavenly tribtion enveloped the residence of Yang Xiaotian.


    All of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ves under him could not help but be frightened.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Heavenly Tribtion Palm!¡±


    An expert eximed.


    In the Divine Dragon Empire, with its many sects and numerous Supreme Divine Powers, but among the many Supreme Divine Powers of the Empire, the Heavenly Tribtion Palm could definitely be ranked in the top hundred; its power was extremely formidable.


    Everyone had not expected Zeng Biao to use the Heavenly Tribtion Palm as soon as he made his move.


    It seemed that Zeng Biao wanted to kill Yang Xiaotian as quickly as possible, to avoid any unforeseenplications.


    Under the power of Zeng Biao¡¯s Heavenly Tribtion Palm, the ground of the residence began to crack.


    Just as the Heavenly Tribtion Palm was about to strike, suddenly, from behind Yang Xiaotian, the ck Flood Dragon King appeared, massive as a mountain.


    The ck Flood Dragon King snorted coldly, and its dragon w struck out.


    Without any visible use of Divine Skills, the dragon w¡¯s force shattered the formidable Heavenly Tribtion Palm.


    Then, the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s w continued its relentless assault, heading straight for Zeng Biao.


    Zeng Biao was well prepared and upon seeing the ck Flood Dragon King strike, he sneered, ¡°Perfect timing. Today I will ughter you and roast your flesh to apany my drink.¡±


    With those words, a giant Dragon Saber appeared in his hand.


    ¡°Dragon ying sh!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll chop off your ws first!¡±


    As he shed out, a terrifying saber aura carrying destructive powernded on the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s w.


    ¡°ng!¡±


    The Dragon Saber struck the dragon w.


    Bright light burst forth.


    However, Zeng Biao¡¯s face changed drastically.


    Because his Dragon Saber seemed to have struck an immovable Dragon Mountain; let alone chopping off the dragon w, he couldn¡¯t even break the dragon scales on it.


    Moreover, a shocking rebounding force caused his hand to ache fiercely, and the Dragon Saber slipped from his grasp, flying into the air.


    The ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s eyes were cold and indifferent as its w continued its sweep towards the adversary.


    Fang Heng was equally astonished, without time to think, he suddenly threw both fists towards the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s w.


    ¡°Void Breaking Fist!¡±


    The power of the Void Breaking Fist was so strong that it surpassed even the Heavenly Tribtion Palm.


    A fist shattered the void.


    The space seemed to be sted open by a huge cavity.


    The fist¡¯s force passed through the cavity and smashed into the dragon w.


    Yet, Fang Heng and Zeng Biao immediately saw the force of the Void Breaking Fist explode like fireworks upon contacting the dragon w, with the w¡¯s assault unabated.


    Seeing the mountain-like dragon wing down, Fang Heng and Zeng Biao¡¯s faces finally changed drastically, frantically unleashing their full strength in an assault, daring not to hold back even a fraction.


    But it was useless, thebined full force of their attack still could not shake the dragon w, and in an instant, it hit both of them.


    The two men crashed into the street¡¯s end like shooting stars, continuously making thunderous sounds.


    ¡°What?!¡± Tian Meiling¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.


    Guo Wei, Chen Jun, He Qingzhe, and others all wore shocked expressions.


    Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, two great ten-peak Martial Venerables, joined forces in abined attack, yet they couldn¡¯t stop the flood dragon beside Yang Xiaotian!


    Wasn¡¯t it said that the flood dragon beside Yang Xiaotian was only at the fourth or fifthyer of the Martial Venerable realm?


    Yang Xiaotian executed Skywalking Thousand Swords, riding his sword up into the sky and standing aloft, looking down at Fang Heng and Zeng Biao who had crashed at the end of the street, and indifferently said, ¡°Kill them all!¡±


    Kill them all!


    When Yang Xiaotian spoke, it was as if a cold Northern wind blew across, chilling everyone to the bone.


    Fang Heng and Zeng Biao felt a shadow overhead and looked up to see the ck Flood Dragon King, who had unknowingly already arrived above them, with its wing down.


    The two were enraged and terrified, their entire bodies¡¯ True Yuan circted as they attacked once again.


    But before their power could even surge, they werepletely crushed by the dragon w.


    When the dragon w struck the ground, the earth shook violently and terrifying cracks appeared.


    Although Fang Heng and Zeng Biao narrowly avoided the full force of the dragon w, they were blown away by the stones sted from the ground.


    But that wasn¡¯t all. The ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s massive tail swept past, hitting both Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, sending them flying like cannonballs, smashing through countless buildings.


    The ck Flood Dragon King opened its mouth, and a ck dragon me poured out. Fang Heng and Zeng Biao screamed in agony, and when the ck dragon me dissipated, the area where both men were had turned into nothing but ash.

 Chapter 180 - 180 I Want to Annihilate Yang Xiaotian’s Nine Clans

    Chapter 180: I Want to Annihte Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine ns


    Trantor: 549690339


    Amid the ashes, two charred half corpsesy.


    Why say half corpses?


    Because Fang Heng and Zeng Biao were not yetpletely dead.


    They were barely breathing.


    Looking at the two men, who were at death¡¯s door, the ck Flood Dragon King showed no emotion as its w descended again, easily slicing open the armor on their bodies.


    Fang Heng and Zeng Biao had no strength left to resist and let the sharp dragon ws pierce directly into their chests.


    When the ck Flood Dragon King lifted its ws, the two men were already on the brink of death.


    However, there was still a faint sign of life within them.


    Yang Xiaotiannded in front of the two men, a sharp sword appearing in his hand, which he plunged into Fang Heng¡¯s throat just as he had done to Zhang Hao of the Mohe Divine Sect, inch by inch it sank in until it emerged from the back of his neck.


    Blood kept seeping along the de.


    This time, however, Yang Xiaotian did not pull out the sword but drew another sharp sword to thrust into Zeng Biao¡¯s throat until it came out the back of his neck.


    ¡°One dayter, let Wang Fan and Liu Shuange over to collect their bodies,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    Now, Fang Heng and Zeng Biao were not yet fully dead, but in a day, when their blood had run out, they would be.


    Yang Xiaotian used Skywalking Thousand Swords to return to his residence.


    All those who saw Fang Heng and Zeng Biao impaled into the ground by the swords were left in shock.


    Fang Heng was the most legendary alchemy genius among the younger generation of the Divine Dragon Empire, and also the most legendary Sword Dao Genius.


    He was set to be the youngest Martial Venerable Peak.


    Within a year, he would have broken through to the Great Emperor Realm.


    Then, he would have been the youngest Great Emperor in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    But now, he was about to die here.


    With no hope of reaching the Emperor Realm.


    It was the same for Zeng Biao.


    But no one dared to step forward to save Fang Heng and Zeng Biao.


    Even though there were many masters from the Medicine Hall among the crowd, no one dared to step forward.


    Guo Wei watched Fang Heng, whoy there with a weak breath, bleeding ceaselessly, on the verge of death, and felt something inside him copse; he was beyond despair.


    For a long time, Fang Heng had been an unattainable mountain in his heart, but now, that mountainy there, unable to rise again.


    All this, because of one person!


    Yang Xiaotian!


    Watching Yang Xiaotian return to his residence, Guo Wei was filled with shock, anger, and hatred.


    Tian Meiling, He Qingzhe, Chen Jun, and others were equally shaken to their cores. If others among the Martial Venerables had been lying there, they would not have been so shocked, but those lying there were Fang Heng and Zeng Biao!


    One could say that both of them were half a step into the Emperor Realm.


    And, they were bound to reach the Emperor Realm in the future.


    Now, however, they were about to die at the hands of Yang Xiaotian.


    They looked at the ck Flood Dragon King, which still loomed in the sky like a huge mountain, and found it hard to believe that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Mount Beast was of the Emperor Realm!


    How did Yang Xiaotian, just a mere Martial King, manage to subdue a Fierce Beast of the Emperor Realm?


    How did he do it?


    Not only were the three of them puzzled, but everyone present was as well.


    Yang Xiaotian paid no attention to the crowd outside; instead, he continued to practice his Sword Dao in the courtyard.


    Not a single person outside had left.


    All was silent.


    The fierce wind swept through the sand and dirt, ceaselessly pouring into Fang Heng and Zeng Biao¡¯s mouths.


    Their faces and bodies were buried in dust over and over again.


    At the Empire Pharmacist Hall, Wang Zhou had just returned from the Sky-Stepping Sect and was about to cultivate when his disciple Wu You ran in, panic-stricken and with a look of terror on his face like never before.


    Wang Zhou, puzzled, wondered why his normallyposed disciple was in such a state of panic.


    ¡°Master, Fang Heng and Zeng Biao are dead,¡± Wu You said in a voice close to tears; his entire body trembled as if he was enduring some terrible torment.


    ¡°What did you say?!¡± Wang Zhou felt his mind thunder, his eyes red wide, and he was on the verge of fainting.


    Wu You trembled with fear, ¡°The Flood Dragon by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, it¡¯s not a Martial Venerable, it¡¯s at the Emperor Realm, a powerful being of the Emperor Realm!¡±


    ¡°Emperor Realm!¡± Wang Zhou¡¯s mouth fell open, and his mind went nk.


    A Martial King like Yang Xiaotian had subdued a fierce beast of the Emperor Realm?


    Wu You¡¯s voice shook again, ¡°That Flood Dragon didn¡¯t kill Fang Heng and Zeng Biao. Instead, it left them half alive, and Xiaotian used his sword to stab their throats and nail them on the streets of the Tiandou Imperial City, letting the people of the city watch as they slowly bled to death.¡±


    Wang Zhou¡¯s fists clenched tightly, his eyes shooting a frightening chill as he roared like a wounded beast, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you dog bastard, if I, Wang Zhou, don¡¯t kill you, I swear I am not human!¡±


    Whether Fang Heng or Zeng Biao, both were his capable subordinates, his most valued geniuses, whom he considered as his own and had poured all of the resources of the Medicine Hall into their cultivation.


    They were on the brink of breaking through to the Emperor Realm.


    Now, they were dead!


    Killed by a mere Martial King like Yang Xiaotian!


    How could Wang Zhou not hate, not be enraged?


    Thinking of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao¡¯s deaths, Wang Zhou felt a deep heartache.


    ¡°I will exterminate Yang Xiaotian¡¯s nine generations! I will kill everyone rted to Yang Xiaotian,¡± Wang Zhou dered with intense murderous intent in his eyes, his teeth gritted.


    Wu You saw his master¡¯s murderous intent for the first time.


    However, he also knew the importance of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao to his master.


    ¡°Master, the Flood Dragon by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side is extremely powerful, it might already be at the fifth or sixth level of the Great Emperor,¡± Wu You said carefully.


    It might even be beyond that.


    If they were to kill Yang Xiaotian, they would need to dispatch someone at least at the peak of the Great Emperor or a Saint Realm expert.


    But such powerful beings were not at Wang Zhou¡¯s disposal.


    After all, Wang Zhou was just a Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall and not the Grand Hall Master of the Empire Alchemy Hall.


    Wang Zhou took a deep breath, trying to calm the murderous rage in his heart, ¡°Soon, I will take control of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, ascend to the position of the Grand Hall Master. Only then, not ughtering Yang Xiaotian and exterminating his nine generations will not quell the hatred in my heart!¡±


    Once he took control of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, the entire Empire Alchemy Hall¡¯s masters would serve him. He did not believe that with the full force of the Empire Alchemy Hall, he would still be unable to kill Yang Xiaotian.


    The matter of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao soon spread to the ears of some Supreme Sects within the Divine Dragon Empire, naturally causing no smallmotion.


    A dayter, Wang Fan and Liu Shuang finally dared toe up, nervously collecting the bodies of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, but as they looked at the ck Flood Dragon King high in the sky, they were so anxious they felt as if they were going to die.


    Their hands stiffened as they touched the rigid bodies of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao.


    However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword was still thrust through the throats of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao; they couldn¡¯t possibly just carry them back like that.


    Perhaps because their hands were so stiff, when they tried to pull out the sword from the throats of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, they couldn¡¯t do it at first.


    After much difficulty, they finally pulled out the sword and were about to take the bodies of Fang Heng and Zeng Biao back when Yang Xiaotian appeared behind them without their noticing.


    ¡°Go back and tell Fang Zhou, if he dares send anyone again, I will personally go to the Empire Pharmacist Hall and crush his eggs!¡±

 Chapter 181: The 18th Floor of the Sword Tower

    Chapter 181: The 18th Floor of the Sword Tower


    Trantor: 549690339


    Yang Xiaotian suddenly appeared behind Wang Fan and Liu Shuang, scaring them half to death.


    They both slipped, nearly dropping the corpse they were holding onto the ground.


    In the end, the two of them fled with the corpse.


    Yang Xiaotian watched their departing figures indifferently, then returned to the residence with the ck Flood Dragon King.


    After Yang Xiaotian left, Tian Meiling and Tang Lin still had Yang Xiaotian¡¯s threat to crush his eggs echoing in their ears.


    Those were none other than the eggs of Wang Zhou from the Empire Pharmacist Hall. The dominance in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words!


    Eventually, everyone left with their own thoughts.


    The streets were still ravaged by the fierce wind.


    The dust soon covered the blood on the ground.


    He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong returned to Tiandou Academy without saying a word to each other on the way.


    Once back at the academy, Guo Wei angrily said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian spoke arrogantly, thinking he¡¯s invincible just because he has a fierce beast from the Emperor Realm.¡±


    ¡°Wang Zhou is a powerhouse at the peak of the Saint Realm. If Yang Xiaotian dares to go to the Empire Pharmacist Hall, Wang Zhou will surely crush him,¡± Xiao Yong added furiously.


    He Qingzhe, however, was looking at Lin Xiao and asked, ¡°Lin Xiao, you are also a Beast Tamer. Do you think it¡¯s possible for you to subdue an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast?¡±


    Lin Xiao shook his head, ¡°It took a Herculean effort to subdue the Zhu Yan, and I nearly died at its hands. To say nothing of an Emperor Realm beast, even a Martial Ancestor-level beast is beyond my ability to subdue.¡±


    He Qingzhe¡¯s forehead creased with worry, ¡°Then how did Yang Xiaotian manage to subdue that dragon?¡±


    Lin Xiao remained silent, puzzled by the same question.


    Before long, Wang Zhou also found out about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s im to crush his balls, and naturally, he was livid with rage.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate divine skills in the residence and entered the Sword Tower toprehend the Sword Wall.


    In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.


    He had already cultivated all thirty-two Supreme Divine Powers from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure to the Great Achievement Realm, and some had even reached the Perfection Realm.


    In the Sword Tower, he hadpletelyprehended the sixteen levels.


    During these three months, his followers also greatly improved their strength. The ck Flood Dragon King, having reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, had made significant advancements after practicing the Ancient Dragon n Technique given by Yang Xiaotian and was showing signs of breaking through to the Saint Realm.


    As for the Azure Thunder Python, after daily consumption of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and top-quality Endless Life Pills, its wounds had fully healed.


    In the words of the Azure Thunder Python, if Zhu Jing dared toe again, it could now kill him with absolute certainty.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s father and mother also improved rapidly in strength.


    Yang Chao was already at the seventhyer of the Innate Realm, and Huang Ying was at the fifth.


    During these days, Wang Zhou seemed to have been content, sending no one over.


    This day, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the gate to the seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower.


    Today, he was going to step onto the seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower.


    Fan Riquan had once said,


    The seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower should be one of the ten Supreme Divine Powers.


    He circted his Sword Qi, sting open the door to the seventeenth floor and walked up.


    No one had ever reached the seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower before, so Yang Xiaotian was the first one.


    In the center of the seventeenth floor, there was no Sword Wall.


    Instead, there were swords etched on the stone walls all around the tower.


    The swords varied in shape, adding up to a total of seventeen.


    Although it was only a depiction of swords, Yang Xiaotian could still feel an astonishing Sword Qiing from the images on the stone wall.


    It seemed as though this Sword Qi would never be worn away by time.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the stone wall, carefully contemting the Supreme Divine Power contained within these seventeen swords.


    After ten days, he finally fullyprehended the Supreme Divine Power contained in the seventeen sword images of the seventeenth floor.


    ¡°The Immortal Sword Technique!¡±


    One of the ten Supreme Divine Powers of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    If one could cultivate the Immortal Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm, a sword strike would emit Sword Qi thatsted for a long time. If one were to cultivate it to Summit Mastery, the Sword Qi could persist for years, just like the evesting Sword Qi on the current stone wall.


    After thoroughlyprehending the Immortal Sword Technique of the seventeenth floor, Yang Xiaotian reached the entrance to the eighteenth floor, sting open the tower door with the Immortal Sword Qi, and stepped onto the eighteenth level.


    In the center of the eighteenth floor, there was an Ancient Swordid out, with a Secret Tome ced beside it.


    From afar, upon seeing the Ancient Sword and the Secret Tome, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced; Fan Riquan had mentioned that the eighteenth floor might hold a Heavenly Sword and its swordsmanship.


    However, when Yang Xiaotian arrived in front of the Ancient Sword, he frowned to see that the body of the sword was riddled with fine cracks!


    This sword was unmistakably a broken sword!


    A broken sword, meaning one that had been damaged by some force and was iplete.


    Such a sword was undoubtedly a waste sword, unable to unleash the force of a sword.


    Disappointed, Yang Xiaotian picked up the Secret Tome beside it and flipped it open, his emotionsplex.


    This Secret Tome was titled ¡°Burying Heaven Sword Technique.¡±


    And that broken sword was none other than the Burying Heaven Sword, ranking first on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.


    The Burying Heaven Sword, ranked first among Heavenly Swords, was second only to the various Divine Swords in terms of power.


    But it was regrettably damaged.


    Yang Xiaotian picked up the Burying Heaven Sword, it was heavy, and its de had not a trace of light.


    ¡°Master Ding, is there any way to repair this Burying Heaven Sword?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian after awakening the Medicine Cauldron.


    ¡°There is a way, but it¡¯s quite difficult,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits lifted: ¡°What way?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you obtain an Innate Spiritual Root earlier in the ck Snow Mountain? If you were to nurture this sword on the Innate Spiritual Root for several decades and then temper it with the Innate Sword Qi you collected for several more decades, and finally refine it with the power of your four Sword Hearts for another few decades, it should be possible to repair it,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian was dumbfounded.


    Several decades plus several more decades and then another few decades: wouldn¡¯t that be over a hundred years?


    In more than a hundred years, who knows what realm he would be in by then; it would be pointless to repair it.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a way to speed up the repair process?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked helplessly.


    The Medicine Cauldron replied, ¡°The fastest method is to reforge it in the furnace, but it needs to be tempered with Divine me, and also with Innate Sword Qi, Innate Fine Iron, and Tribtion Thunder Water of the fourth level or higher.¡±


    ¡°After the forging sess, you should further refine the sword de with the power of your Nine-Colored Sword Heart. If you had ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, it should bepletely repaired within a month.¡±


    ¡°Innate Fine Iron? Fourth level or higher Tribtion Thunder Water? Ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts?¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled wryly.


    He had the Divine me and the Innate Sword Qi, but where to find Innate Fine Iron, fourth level or higher Tribtion Thunder Water?


    And he had only condensed four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts so far; to gather ten of them would take an indeterminate amount of time.


    After a moment, he could only put away the Burying Heaven Sword and its technique, and leave the Sword Tower.


    Standing outside the Sword Tower and looking up at the towering edifice that pierced the clouds, Yang Xiaotian pondered. The Sword God Powerhouse who left behind this Sword Tower must have hidden other secrets.


    Perhaps, once he had repaired the Burying Heaven Sword and sessfully cultivated the Burying Heaven Sword Technique, he could unlock this secret.

 Chapter 182 - 182 Comprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword

    Chapter 182: Comprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword


    Back at the residence, Yang Xiaotian took out the Burying Heaven Sword Technique and began to peruse it.


    He read with great concentration, and after finishing the first read, he had already memorized all the sword techniques contained in the Burying Heaven Sword Technique.


    Closing the Secret Tome, Yang Xiaotian recalled it once, and then proceeded to read it a second time.


    By the time hepleted the fourth read, he had fullyprehended the subtleties of the sword techniques within the Burying Heaven Sword Technique and began to practice them with his sword.


    The Burying Heaven Sword Technique possessed the might to bury the heavens, one strike was immensely powerful. However, regrettably, without the Burying Heaven Sword to apany it, its power was only somewhat stronger than many Supreme Divine Powers.


    Only with the Burying Heaven Sword could the true power of the Burying Heaven Sword Technique be unleashed.


    After practicing for a day, Yang Xiaotian stopped and summoned Luo Qing, instructing him to inquire about the Innate Fine Iron and the Quadruple Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    ¡°It is also time toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself after Luo Qing left.


    Now, he hadpletelyprehended all eighteen floors of the Sword Tower, and by the academy¡¯s rules, he was permitted toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    He hade to Tiandou Academy precisely for the Controlling Dragon Sword and the Tiandou Sword.


    So, after Luo Qing had left, Yang Xiaotian headed to the eighteenth floor of the Sword Tower and activated the power of the sword orb at the very top by using the Burying Heaven Sword Qi he had mastered.


    ording to the academy¡¯s rules, once oneprehended all eighteen floors of the Sword Tower, one could activate the sword orb at the top and thenprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    At that moment, Zhong Yun was in the courtyard instructing Guo Wei in the cultivation of the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword.


    Guo Wei held the Emperor Sword in his left hand and the Green Sea Sword in his right, his sword qi crisscrossing majestically. The Splendor Sword Art and the Green Sea Sword Technique blending together, even inducing a series of extraordinary phenomena.


    Clearly,pared to the monthly test over three months ago, Guo Wei¡¯s mastery of both Heavenly Swords had improved significantly.


    After Guo Wei ceased his swordy, Zhong Yunmended him with a satisfied expression, ¡°Excellent swordsmanship! Tomorrow is the end-of-term exam, and with your strength, you will certainly seize one of the top three positions in the year.¡±


    Clenching the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword tightly, Guo Wei took a deep breath: ¡°Once I im one of the top three spots in my year andprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, I will definitely be able to master it. By then, I shall be the owner of all three Heavenly Swords!¡±


    ¡°Once I¡¯ve cultivated the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, so what if Yang Xiaotian possesses three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°One day, I will defeat him!¡±


    Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, they saw sword qi rushing into the sky from the direction of the Sword Tower.


    Zhong Yun and Guo Wei were astonished; they hastened out of the courtyard only to see the sword orb at the very top of the Sword Tower radiating brightly, with torrents of sword qi bursting forth.


    Theplexion on Guo Wei¡¯s face turned particrly ugly.


    Someone had fullyprehended the eighteen floors of the Sword Tower!


    This person was undoubtedly Yang Xiaotian.


    Zhong Yun said with a dark expression, ¡°Even if Yang Xiaotian hasprehended the eighteenth floor of the Sword Tower, it¡¯s not a big deal. He won¡¯t be able toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.¡±


    He then added, ¡°You possess both the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword, and you have the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God. When you attempt toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword tomorrow, it will undoubtedly be a cinch, and the Controlling Dragon Sword will definitely be yours!¡±


    Guo Wei nodded.


    He had already fullyprehended the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword, and he was one hundred percent confident that he would master the Controlling Dragon Sword tomorrow.


    After Yang Xiaotian activated the power of the Sword Tower¡¯s sword orb, he went to find Xie Hong and Fan Riquan, stating his intention toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    Xie Hong and Fan Riquan had already anticipated that Yang Xiaotian would seek toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword. Without any hesitation, they took him to the Controlling Dragon Hall.


    ¡°The Controlling Dragon Sword is inside the Controlling Dragon Hall. However, the sword is sealed with a powerful Dragon Soul. Once you enter, be careful not to provoke the Dragon Soul,¡± Fan Riquan advised before opening the doors of the great hall.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and stepped into the Controlling Dragon Hall.


    The doors of the hall closed behind him.


    Xie Hong and Fan Riquan looked at the closed doors, their faces filled with anticipation.


    The Controlling Dragon Sword had always been out of anyone¡¯s grasp, and they also wanted to know whether Yang Xiaotian could control the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    Students at the Tiandou Academy learned that Yang Xiaotian was toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword and also rushed over, wanting to see if Yang Xiaotian could control the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    Tian Meiling, He Qingzhe, and Chen Jun also hurried over.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang has three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts and unparalleled swordsmanship; he¡¯s certain to control the Controlling Dragon Sword.¡±


    ¡°Exactly, and besides, Junior Brother Yang owns an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon. With the Emperor Realm Flood Dragon present, he will surely be able to suppress the Dragon Soul and control the Controlling Dragon Sword,¡± an excited student from Tiandou Academy said.


    Ever since Yang Xiaotian nailed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao to the streets of the Tiandou Imperial City, all the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy were shocked, and many became fervently admiring of Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon hearing this, Zhong Lei from first ss sneered, ¡°What about the Emperor Realm Flood Dragon? In the past, even Saint Realm Powerhouses have tried to forcefullyprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword without sess.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, that Saint Realm Powerhouse had seven Sword Hearts and had even cultivated Sword Intent, yet still failed. Yang Xiaotian trying toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword is simply daydreaming!¡±


    The many teachers and students who had just been excited were now as if doused in cold water.


    The Controlling Dragon Sword is ranked seventy-first among the Heavenly Swords of the Heavenly Sword Ranking and, naturally, has been coveted by many powerhouses, including those of the Saint Realm.


    However, over the years, even Saint Realm Powerhouses have been unable toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, let alone take it away.


    Although Zhong Lei¡¯s words were hateful, they were also true.


    Whether Yang Xiaotian couldprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword was indeed hard to say.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian entered the grand hall and saw an ancient sword floating in the air at the center of the hall.


    This ancient sword had a scabbard engraved with a lifelike Golden Dragon. Although the sword had not yet been unsheathed, Yang Xiaotian could still feel the astonishing Sword Qi and dragon might contained within it.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged and began toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, much like when he contemted the Sword Tower and Sword Wall.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was enveloped in swirling Sword Qi, strands of which wafted out from the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    Time trickled by.


    The Sword Qi from the Controlling Dragon Sword grew stronger, and its glow became more splendid.


    Yang Xiaotian stimted the power of his four Sword Hearts, aiming to hasten hisprehension.


    Suddenly, the Controlling Dragon Sword flew out of its scabbard, and in an instant, countless Sword Qi strands and a colossal Golden Dragon burst forth from the sword, their dragon roars shaking the heavens.


    The ground of the entire academy trembled with it.


    Feeling the wild power of the Dragon Soul, everyone guarding outside the grand hall was utterly astonished.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Dragon Soul! The Dragon Soul has been enraged,¡± eximed Tian Meiling in fear.


    She too had previously tried toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword and had angered the Dragon Soul; once the Dragon Soul went berserk, it was terrifying.


    Seeing the Dragon Soul enraged, Zhong Leiughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian has angered the Dragon Soul. I¡¯ve said it before¡ªYang Xiaotian trying toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword is just daydreaming.¡±


    Once the Dragon Soul is enraged and runs wild, uncontroble, it signifies failure inprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword.


    Xie Hong and Fan Riquan frowned upon seeing the Dragon Soul enraged, feeling disappointed.


    Initially, they had hoped that Yang Xiaotian could control the Controlling Dragon Sword, but now it seemed that Yang Xiaotian was unable to do so.


    In the courtyard, waiting for news, Guo Wei sensed the ferocious power of the Dragon Soul, and both he and Zhong Yun had faces filled with joy.


    Zhong Yunughed, ¡°I told you so, Yang Xiaotian can¡¯t control the Controlling Dragon Sword.¡±


    Guo Wei nodded with a smile, confident that the Controlling Dragon Sword would be his tomorrow.


    Just then, inside the grand hall, the raging Dragon Soul furiously attacked Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 183 - 183 Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion

    Chapter 183: Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the frenzied Golden Dragon Soul and was also startled, wondering if it was the power of the four Sword Hearts that he had just stimted that caused the dragon soul to go berserk?


    With no time to think more, he abruptly stood up, quickly stimting the Primordial Dragon Art, with over nine hundred True Essence Dragons coiling around him, exuding a majestic dragon might.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was ready to make his move, suddenly, the berserk dragon soul rushing over came to a halt in mid-air, as if a train had suddenly braked, stopping right there in the sky.


    The air waves rolled tumultuously.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s robe fluttered loudly.


    The braked dragon soul theny down on the ground, and with a face looking up, gazed at Yang Xiaotian expectantly.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s jaw almost dropped to the ground.


    He had never imagined that the dragon soul, which had just been violently frenzied, would suddenly be as submissive as a dog, lying there gazing at him with eyes that were brimming with yearning.


    What¡¯s going on here?


    Was it the Primordial Dragon Art?


    Could it be the supreme and unmatched dragon might contained in the Primordial Dragon Art that had intimidated the dragon soul before him?


    He had merely stimted the Primordial Dragon Art just now.


    He hadn¡¯t expected the Primordial Dragon Art to have such an extraordinary effect on the dragon soul.


    If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t his future subjugation of dragon souls be highly sessful?


    While the frenzied dragon souly submissively before Yang Xiaotian like a dog, the crowd outside the great hall was staring at the Controlling Dragon Hall in astonishment.


    The sudden disappearance of the frenzied dragon soul¡¯s power caught everyone by surprise.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang couldn¡¯t possibly have encountered trouble, could he?¡± In the silence, a student from the academy couldn¡¯t help but mutter.


    Tian Meiling and others had varied expressions on their faces.


    Once a dragon soul went berserk, its power would sweep across everything, and even those in the Saint Realm would be unable to suppress it.


    Even with an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon by his side, Yang Xiaotian might not be able to suppress the dragon soul; there was even the possibility that Yang Xiaotian could indeed be in trouble!


    Zhong Lei was secretly overjoyed.


    In his view, Yang Xiaotian was definitely in trouble.


    ¡°Should we open the hall door?¡± Xie Hong looked at Fan Riquan, also uncertain at the moment.


    ¡°Let¡¯s, wait a bit longer,¡± Fan Riquan hesitated.


    If Yang Xiaotian was in the midst ofprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword, opening the door of the Controlling Dragon Hall would undoubtedly interrupt his understanding.


    While Xie Hong and Fan Riquan were indecisive, suddenly, the doors of the Controlling Dragon Hall were opened, and a figure appeared before everyone.


    Everyone was startled.


    Who else could it be but Yang Xiaotianing out?


    No one had expected Yang Xiaotian to suddenly emerge.


    ¡°Xiaotian, are you alright?¡± Fan Riquan quickly came to his senses and hurriedly asked.


    ¡°Vice-Principal, I¡¯m fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled, then nced over everyone and said to Xie Hong, ¡°Principal, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s watch, he left the Controlling Dragon Hall.


    After Yang Xiaotian left, Xie Hong, on reflex, peered into the Controlling Dragon Hall, and was dumbstruck.


    Fan Riquan, feeling curious, also looked inside the Controlling Dragon Hall and was simrly stunned.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the sword?¡± one student, staring into the hall, stammered.


    Inside the Controlling Dragon Hall, it waspletely empty. The Controlling Dragon Sword that had been suspended there was nowhere to be found.


    Tian Meiling stared at the empty space above the Controlling Dragon Hall, her beautiful eyes nk, murmuring, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, he has alreadyprehended the Controlling Dragon Sword!¡±


    Everyone stood there, still engulfed in silence.


    Zhong Lei¡¯s face was filled with disbelief; for so many years, countless students and powerhouses of the academy had been unable toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, unable to take it away.


    Yet, had Yang Xiaotianprehended it in less than an hour? And then took it with him?


    Soon, Zhong Yun and Guo Wei also learned of the news.


    Guo Wei was immersed in the beautiful dream ofprehending the Controlling Dragon Sword tomorrow and then bing one of the three major Heavenly Sword masters, but hearing the news that the Controlling Dragon Sword had been taken by Yang Xiaotian, he couldn¡¯t help but be dumbfounded.


    ¡°In less than an hour, heprehended the Controlling Dragon Sword?¡± Zhong Yun¡¯s face soured, ¡°This is impossible, absolutely impossible!¡±


    In the past, he too had tried toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword and had persisted without rest, but the sword had never shown the slightest response.


    And yet, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended it in less than an hour?


    Guo Wei clenched the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword tightly in his hands until his knuckles turned white.


    Although the swords in his hands were also Heavenly Swords.


    However, one was ranked one hundred and four, and the other one hundred and ten on the Heavenly Sword Ranking. In terms of power, the two Heavenly Swords he heldbined were far inferior to that Controlling Dragon Sword.


    In the past, he cherished the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword in his hands, but now, he suddenly felt that the two swords in his hands were not at all attractive.


    ¡°Great Elder, I will take my leave now,¡± Guo Wei cupped his fist towards Zhong Yun, no longer in the mood to practice his swordsmanship, and left Zhong Yun¡¯s courtyard.


    Watching Guo Wei¡¯s dejected departure, Zhong Yun sighed in his heart.


    Guo Wei was the master of two Heavenly Swords and possessed four Sword Hearts, along with the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God. Without any idents, he was set toprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword tomorrow, and it would have been his.


    But then an unexpected Yang Xiaotian had appeared.


    Yang Xiaotian returned home, not idling, took out the Controlling Dragon Sword, and began practicing the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique.


    The Controlling Dragon Sword was ranked seventy-one on the Heavenly Sword Ranking, but after practicing for a while, Yang Xiaotian increasingly felt that the sword¡¯s power was immense, so much so that he believed its strength could definitely ce it within the top twenty of the Heavenly Sword Ranking.


    But why was the Controlling Dragon Sword ranked at seventy-one?


    Yang Xiaotian asked the Azure Thunder Python.


    After a moment of contemtion, the Azure Thunder Python said, ¡°It could be that the previous master of the Controlling Dragon Sword was unable to drive the Dragon Soul¡¯s power, causing the sword¡¯s strength to greatly diminish, which led to the Controlling Dragon Sword¡¯s rank falling to seventy-one.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, then inquired about the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s cultivation progress.


    The Azure Thunder Python replied, ¡°With the master¡¯s Ancient Dragon n Technique and Blood Dragon Spirit Stone, there¡¯s a chance for my bloodline to advance to a Super Divine Beast within a hundred years.¡±


    ¡°A hundred years?¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned slightly; a hundred years was still too long for him.


    ¡°If I could find a True Dragon Bead, the consumption of the Dragon Bead¡¯s Dragon Essence would mean I wouldn¡¯t need a hundred years,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head; True Dragon Beads were as rare as Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, hard to find!


    In the blink of an eye, a month passed by.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s diligent cultivation, the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique and Burying Heaven Sword Technique had both broken through to the Great Aplishment Realm, and the Supreme Divine Power of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure had also been cultivated to the Perfection Realm.


    His own strength had also made a breakthrough to thete seventhyer of the Martial King.


    The sun was shining brightly when, amidst his practice of the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, he saw Luo Qing run in excitedly, ¡°Young master! There¡¯s news of the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was extremely invigorated; he had been eagerly awaiting news of the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for days.


    ¡°Just now, the Crown Prince Liu Yuan of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom sent word that an Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion has emerged in their Withered Stone Ridge,¡± Luo Qing said excitedly. ¡°Inside that cave mansion, there¡¯s a high possibility of finding sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion!


    Luo Qing then said, ¡°The Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom is still keeping the news under wraps, but they can¡¯t keep it secret for long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s estimated that it won¡¯t take much time before the Supreme Sects of the Empirese to know of the news.¡±


    So, they must act quickly!

 Chapter 184: Sky-Stepping Sect’s Zhu Xuan

    Chapter 184: Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Zhu Xuan


    Immediately, Yang Xiaotian summoned Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and all others, gave them their instructions, and after bidding farewell to his parents, he tore through the sky and left.


    Originally, Wu Qi and Luo Qing wanted to apany Yang Xiaotian on his journey, but Yang Xiaotian asked everyone to focus on cultivating and wait for his return.


    After leaving Tiandou Imperial City, Yang Xiaotian called forth the Azure Thunder Python and directly rode on its back as it flew.


    The Azure Thunder Python, being a Divine Spirit, had fully recovered from its injuries, and at full speed, it could blink across a hundred li, disying divine swiftness.


    Sitting atop it, Yang Xiaotian was virtually riding the wind and cleaving the waves.


    Watching the white clouds constantly receding around him, Yang Xiaotian was filled with many emotions.


    Once upon a time, he dreamt of soaring above the Nine Heavens, and now, he supposed, he was indeed soaring through them.


    It must be said, having an Azure Thunder Python, a Divine Spirit Realm Mount Beast like this, was excellent; one dayter, Yang Xiaotian had already arrived at Withered Stone Ridge in the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    If he had to execute Skywalking Thousand Swords himself, heaven knows when he would have reached the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    However, upon his arrival at Withered Stone Ridge, he saw the sky and earth filled with powerful beings from all directions.


    Some flew through the air, some rode Mount Beasts, while others passed by in carriages.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank, realizing that the news of the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion¡¯s emergence in the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom had leaked, and forces from surrounding kingdoms had already converged here.


    To avoid drawing too much attention, Yang Xiaotian switched to riding the ck Flood Dragon King, and he had the dragon conceal its Emperor Realm Peak aura.


    Even so, the colossal size of the ck Flood Dragon King still attracted the sideways nces of the strong beings passing by.


    ¡°Who is this kid, to have tamed such a massive flood dragon?¡±


    ¡°Could he be from the Beast God n?¡±


    Some powerful beings spected in surprise.


    The Beast God n, whose family disciples practiced the Beast Taming Secret Art and were mostly Beast Tamers, was the first family of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom and also one of the strongest families among the surrounding kingdoms.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be someone from the Beast God n, I have not heard of anyone in the younger generation taming a flood dragon.¡±


    Amidst the attention of the crowd, Yang Xiaotian continued his unceasing journey towards the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.


    Before long, he caught sight of the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion that had emerged this time.


    Withered Stone Ridge, where not even grass would grow, was full of strangely shaped, massive stones.


    The Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion was nestled among the countlessrge stones.


    The Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion was even more vast than Yang Xiaotian had imagined, consisting of aplex of pces that could have numbered in the thousands; it resembled a super sect.


    No wonder the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom couldn¡¯t keep the news under wraps.


    Such argeplex of pces, even a supreme sect of an empire could not keep it contained.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian arrived, the area around the pce was already surrounded by powerful beings from all sides.


    Many people were frantically bombarding the pce¡¯s prohibitions.


    ¡°No need to attack any longer, the cave mansion has a Grand Array Prohibition; only those below the Martial Ancestor level can enter, those above the Martial Ancestor simply cannot get in,¡± one person dered.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart stirred.


    Only those below the Martial Ancestor level could enter?


    He recalled the Hong Feng Cave Mansion from long ago, which also had a prohibition that only those with the Supreme Martial Spirit could enter.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian asked the ck Flood Dragon King and the Azure Thunder Python to wait outside while he entered the cave mansion alone.


    After entering the cave mansion, Yang Xiaotian discovered that the space inside was even more vast than it appeared from the outside, with a series of pces resembling abyrinth. Moreover, he could not use divine consciousness here, and even flying was impossible.


    When he tried to execute the Skywalking Thousand Swords to fly with his sword, the gravity in the space suddenly pressed down on him like a massive mountain, making flight utterly unfeasible.


    Fortunately, aside from flying and divine consciousness, all other abilities were not affected.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the neat rows of pces before him and, after pondering for a moment, began to walk toward the central area.


    Generally speaking, the central pce of a cave mansion is the most important, and if there were to be any Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, it would likely be in the central pce.


    While Yang Xiaotian was making his way to the central pce, a group of uninvited guests appeared outside the cave mansion.


    The powerful figures from all sides turned pale with surprise upon seeing these uninvited guests.


    ¡°Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    No one had expected that the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s experts would be attracted to the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    The leader among them was none other than Zhu Xuan, a core disciple of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Zhu Xuan was a direct disciple of a Sect Elder and one of the most uncanny geniuses of the younger generation within the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    The Sky-Stepping Sect had Six Swords, referring to the six sword Dao geniuses with the highest swordsmanship among the younger generation of the sect; Zhu Xuan was one of them, known as the Evil Sword.


    Behind Zhu Xuan was arge group of experts he had nurtured, numbering two to three dozen, all of them at the Martial King tenfold peak.


    Clearly, he had learned that only those below the Martial Ancestor Realm could enter the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion, which was why he had brought along a whole slew of experts from the Martial King Realm this time.


    Upon arrival, Zhu Xuan swept a cold gaze over the experts present and dered, ¡°From now on, everything within this Ancient Thunder God Cave belongs to the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    ¡°Should anyone dare to take even a single thing from the Ancient Thunder God Cave, even a mere de of grass, they will be considered an enemy of the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    The expressions of the powerful figures present all changed drastically, filled with fury.


    ¡°Your Sky-Stepping Sect is too domineering. The emergence of this Ancient Thunder God Cave is an ownerless artifact,¡± protested a disciple from a great family of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, unable to contain his indignation, ¡°By what right do you im it is yours!¡±


    Zhu Xuan suddenly swung his sword, and in an instant, a sh of blood appeared. The head of the great family disciple from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom was seen flying off, rolling on the ground.


    ¡°By what right?¡± Zhu Xuan sneered coldly, ¡°The Sky-Stepping Sect never needs a reason for its actions.¡± He then swept his nce over the crowd, ¡°If you don¡¯t wish to end up like the Mad de Sect, then get out of here now!¡±


    Hearing Zhu Xuan mention the Mad de Sect, everyone felt a chill to their marrow.


    Some days ago, for some unknown reason, the Mad de Sect offended the Sky-Stepping Sect and was wiped outpletely. The Mad de Sect Leader suffered the worst fate, having his limbs cut off and being hung in front of the sect¡¯s mountain gate, where he was left to die a slow death.


    Zhu Xuan took out an Ancient Rune and tore it open, instantly infusing its power into him. The crowd noticed that Zhu Xuan, who was at the peak of the Emperor Realm, suddenly had his realm suppressed to the peak of the King Realm.


    ¡°That¡¯s an Ancient Rune, capable of temporarily suppressing one¡¯s realm,¡± eximed a Sect Elder in astonishment.


    Ancient Runes were refined by the ancient deities who surpassed the Divine Spirits and were extremely rare. Now that they were used up, there was one less left, and unexpectedly, Zhu Xuan possessed one.


    After using the Ancient Rune to suppress his realm, Zhu Xuan, along with his group of underlings, entered the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion. He also left ten people outside with orders, ¡°If anyonees out, make them leave behind all their possessions before they can go!¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, kill without mercy!¡±


    The people on the scene, hearing Zhu Xuan¡¯s orders, were again filled with rage. Didn¡¯t that mean those who had gone in earlier would now have to leave behind their own treasures if they wanted toe out?


    This was an outrageous demand.


    Yet, the crowd dared not speak their anger aloud.


    As they watched Zhu Xuan enter the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion, those who originally held onto the hope of entering to try their luck now dared not step forward anymore.

 Chapter 185 - 185 I will leave your body intact

    Chapter 185: I will leave your body intact


    Zhu Xuan, after entering the Thunder God Cave with a group of followers, said to the ones behind him, ¡°Form into groups of five and search separately, remember, even if you have to turn the whole cave mansion upside down, you must find the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Innate Sword Spirit for me!¡±


    ¡°Whoever dares to snatch my Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Innate Sword Spirit, kill them!¡±


    ¡°No matter who it is, they must die!¡±


    Zhu Xuan waved his hand, ¡°Go.¡±


    This cave mansion was left behind by the Ancient Thunder God Li Wushuang.


    He had verified Li Wushuang¡¯s information, so he was certain that within the cave mansion, besides the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, there was also an Innate Sword Spirit.


    His followers responded respectfully and left with a bow.


    Zhu Xuan stepped forward, walking deeper into the cave mansion.


    In his mind, the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Innate Sword Spirit in this cave mansion were already his.


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the entrance of a pce.


    The pce doors were tightly closed, but around them stood more than a dozen sect experts, obviously all trying to figure out how to open the pce doors.


    Generally speaking, pces with closed doors like this contain treasures inside.


    The arrival of Yang Xiaotian caused surprise among the dozen or so people present.


    Clearly, they had not expected a child to break into the Thunder God Cave.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored the peculiar gazes of the crowd, his attention fixed on the pce doors.


    Above the doors of this pce, a Sword Array was inscribed. If one could not solve the Sword Array, no amount of brute force would open the pce doors.


    Yang Xiaotian activated the power of his four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts. In his eyes, the Sword Array on the pce doors began to evolve.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian staring intently at the pce doors without blinking since his arrival, an expert from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom¡¯s Wu Familyughed and said, ¡°This kid couldn¡¯t have figured out the mystery, could he?¡±


    ¡°What mystery could a little kid figure out?¡± An expert from the Mu Family of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom mocked with augh, ¡°I think he is just staring at the carving on the door. That carving is finely crafted and quite nice-looking.¡±


    The crowd chuckled.


    Since the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion had emerged within the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, many experts that had entered were from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    The Wu Family and Mu Family were major families of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, especially the Mu Family, which had a deep rtionship with the royal family of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    Yang Xiaotian looked coldly at the two men, then walked towards the pce doors.


    Upon seeing this, the Mu Family expert reached out to stop him and sneered, ¡°Brat, were you just ring at me with those eyes?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian grabbed the man¡¯s arm, followed by a flick, and the Mu Family expert was flung out, flying over the distant walls and crashing outside the perimeter.


    A loud bang resounded.


    The crowd was momentarily stunned.


    That Mu Family expert was not weak; he was at the thirdyer of the Martial King Realm.


    Yet, he was flung away by Yang Xiaotian as if he were tossing away trash.


    For a moment, everyone stood there petrified.


    Yang Xiaotian continued forward without stopping and approached the pce doors. Then, he raised his hand, and a ball of Sword Qi appeared, imprinting itself into the center of the Sword Array on the doors.


    Instantaneously, the Sword Array on the doors burst with light.


    After a blinding sh of light, the doors opened.


    The group of experts present was amazed.


    It was no wonder they were amazed; they had just spent a great deal of effort and still failed to open the pce doors, yet now Yang Xiaotian had opened them so effortlessly.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped into the pce.


    Just as others were about to burst into the pce, the pce gates suddenly closed, blocking everyone outside, and no matter how fiercely they attacked, the gates couldn¡¯t be opened.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone, he¡¯s in there, he can¡¯t escape! Let¡¯s just wait for him outside!¡± said the Wu Family expert in a deep voice.


    Therefore, the experts from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom did not leave, and instead waited outside like hunters expecting their prey.


    Upon entering, Yang Xiaotian reached the great hall, which was empty except for two huge stone pirs. Just as he started to feel disappointed, the carvings on the pirs caught his attention.


    On the first pir, there was a carving of a Thunder God holding a thunder sword.


    The Thunder God held the thunder sword, pointing it straight towards the sky.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the pir and stared fixedly at the thunder sword in the Thunder God¡¯s hand, and as he pondered, he felt the overwhelming Sword Intent from the Thunder God Sword.


    It was a Sword Intent that seemed capable of destroying heavens and earth, as if it wanted to st open the Heavenly Capital itself.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s four Sword Hearts burst forth with Nine-Colored Sword Aura.


    The pir shone with a dazzling light.


    Suddenly, a book flew out from the space within the pir andnded in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Thunderp Nine Heavens!¡± Yang Xiaotian read aloud.


    It was a sword technique manual titled Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    Could it be created by the Ancient Thunder God?


    He briefly flipped through it, finding the manual to be iprehensibly profound. He didn¡¯t examine it closely but securely stored it away before moving to the second pir.


    On this pir, the image depicted was of a massive sword.


    Looking at the massive sword, a thought struck Yang Xiaotian: Could it be that the pir was sealing the Thunder God¡¯s thunder sword?


    He began toprehend the massive sword drawn on the pir.


    Before long, the pir radiated light, and the massive sword began to envelop itself in swirling Sword Qi. An object flew out from the space within the pir, and when Yang Xiaotian clearly saw what it was, his eyes widened in shock.


    He had thought that the pir was sealing the Thunder God Sword, but what flew out was actually an Innate Sword Spirit surrounded by thunder!


    ¡°Innate Sword Spirit!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise and joy.


    Moreover, it was an Innate Sword Spirit with the attribute of thunder.


    Judging from the powerful Aura of Sword Spirit emanating from it, there was no doubt it was stronger than the one from ck Snow Mountain.


    The Innate Sword Spirit flew out from the space within the pir, turned into a beam of Sword Light, and charged towards Yang Xiaotian, looking like it would hit him when the Medicine Cauldron emitted a beam of light that blocked the Innate Sword Spirit.


    Yang Xiaotian snapped back to his senses and hurriedly used the Controlling Sword Technique taught to him by Master Ding to control the Innate Sword Spirit.


    He then channeled Primordial Dragon Art to refine the Innate Sword Spirit.


    As Yang Xiaotian refined it, the Aura of Sword Spirit from the Innate Sword Spirit continuously merged into his Swordsmanship Divine Ability.


    Several days passed.


    The Innate Sword Spirit had now shrunk to the size of a fine needle.


    And Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was swirling with Sword Qi, his body shining like a sea of thunder.


    Momentster, as Yang Xiaotianpletely refined the Innate Sword Spirit, suddenly, Sword Qi burst from all over his body, and the Nine-Colored Sword Aura from his chest illuminated the entire great hall as if it were daylight.


    After refining the thunder-attribute Innate Sword Spirit, Yang Xiaotian finally condensed his fifth Nine-Colored Sword Heart!


    Outside the great hall, after waiting several days with no sign of Yang Xiaotian, the experts from Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom had grown impatient. Many people left one after another, leaving only the Wu Family expert who had spoken earlier still stationed in his spot.


    Just as the Wu Family expert was losing patience and about to leave, suddenly, the pce gates slowly opened, and Yang Xiaotian walked out from inside.


    Seeing the pce gates open and Yang Xiaotian emerging, the Wu Family expert stopped in his tracks, a smile spreading across his face, ¡°Kid, you¡¯ve finallye out. My waiting these past few days hasn¡¯t been in vain!¡±


    He walked towards Yang Xiaotian, his aura of ate Martial King Realm enveloping him, ¡°Hand over what you got in the great hall! I¡¯ll leave your corpse intact!¡±

 Chapter 186 - 186 The Sky-Stepping Sect Bullies Intolerably!

    Chapter 186: The Sky-Stepping Sect Bullies Intolerably!


    Leave my corpse intact?


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the Wu Family expert with indifference and suddenly, with a spread of his right palm, countless Sword Qi burst forth.


    So many Sword Qi¡ªthere were as many as a thousand swords!


    A thousand strands of Sword Qi!


    The strength of the Sword Qi caused the Wu Family expert¡¯s face to change drastically.


    In a state of shock, the expert had just raisedyers of radiant light, only to be punctured by a thousand strands of Sword Qi.


    A thousand strands of Sword Qi pierced straight through his neck, then shot out the other side, mming into the distant courtyard wall.


    On that distant courtyard wall, constructed of fine gangstone, a thousand dense sword holes appeared.


    The Hao Family expert stood there, his body stiff, staring ahead with eyes filled with shock.


    Next, from where his neck was pierced by the Sword Qi, columns of blood sprayed out.


    These blood columns were notrge, but they were densely packed, numbering exactly one thousand.


    The blood formed a bizarre pattern on the ground around it.


    After a pause, the Wu Family expert¡¯s body crashed to the ground, and his head rolled to a corner of the courtyard wall before finallying to a stop.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian had assimted the lightning-attributed Innate Sword Spirit, once again bringing the Perfection Realm¡¯s Swordsmanship Divine Ability to the level of Summit Mastery.


    Just now, he had executed the Skywalking Thousand Swords at its peak.


    Skywalking Thousand Swords, one of the Tiandou Academy¡¯s top ten Swordsmanship Divine Abilities, had been cultivated to the level of Summit Mastery, and its power exceeded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expectations.


    After killing the Wu Family expert, Yang Xiaotian did not stay and left the pce.


    Assimting the Innate Sword Spirit had dyed him for several days, so he had to find the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water as soon as possible.


    Exiting the pce, he continued towards the center of the cave dwelling.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was heading towards the central pce of the cave dwelling, he saw arge group of masters fleeing in panic.


    ¡°Sky-Stepping Sect is too bullying! On what grounds does Zhu Xuan say that every de of grass and every item in the Thunder God Cave belongs to their Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he demands that everyone who enters the Thunder God Cave must hand over everything they have to him! Damn it! How are they any different from bandits and robbers!¡±


    ¡°With Zhu Xuan here, we might as well forget about the things in the Thunder God Cave and just leave quickly!¡±


    ¡°Leave? Zhu Xuan said he has guards stationed outside the Thunder God Cave, and anyone who wants to leave must hand over everything they have, otherwise, they¡¯ll be opposing the Sky-Stepping Sect. Now, who dares to leave?¡±


    Arge group of masters fleeing in panic, their faces filled with righteous indignation and rage.


    Now, they wish to leave but dare not leave.


    Wanting to stay but also fearing to remain.


    ¡°Damn it, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. We might as well fight Zhu Xuan to the death!¡±


    ¡°Fight to the death? Don¡¯t forget how the Mad de Sect, Golden Hoof Valley, Wind God Sea, and Sword Venerable Mansion were annihted by the Sky-Stepping Sect! Over the years, how many empires and Supreme Sects have been destroyed by the Sky-Stepping Sect? It doesn¡¯t matter if we die in battle, but our families will be implicated.¡±


    ¡°Besides, before Zhu Xuan entered, he was already at the Supreme Emperor Realm. Even though he has suppressed his realm with an ancient talisman, his strength inside the cave remains unbeatable. What can we use to fight him to death?¡±


    Listening to the heated discussions of the group of masters, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback¡ªSky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Zhu Xuan?


    Watching therge group of masters flee far away, Yang Xiaotian looked towards the central direction of the cave dwelling and stepped forward.


    At that moment, not far ahead in the courtyard of a certain pce, Liu Hongmei red furiously at five subordinates of Zhu Xuan: ¡°How dare you! I am a princess of the Unparalleled Royal Family, and yet you dare to search my person!¡±


    One of Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinates sneered, ¡°The title of Princess of the Unparalleled Royal Family may frighten others, but it doesn¡¯t scare us. We, the Sky-Stepping Sect, have even destroyed the Mad de Sect¡ªwhat does the Unparalleled Royal Family amount to!¡±


    ¡°Our young master has ordered that all of you must hand over everything you have!¡±


    ¡°Since you refuse to hand over your belongings, we will have to search you ourselves!¡±


    With that, he walked towards Liu Hongmei.


    The other four surrounded her, preventing Liu Hongmei from escaping.


    Liu Hongmei¡¯s pretty face turned red with anger.


    At that moment, Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinate reached for Liu Hongmei¡¯s chest.


    Seeing him reaching for her chest, and particrly targeting the more prominent areas, Liu Hongmei shouted in both shame and anger, ¡°Shameless!¡± After speaking, she stabbed at the man with her long sword.


    Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinateughed, ¡°Shameless? Your Highness Princess, you have misspoken. We are all gentlemen here, as is our young master.¡±


    He caught Liu Hongmei¡¯s sharp sword and then, with a jerk, sent the sword flying.


    Liu Hongmei was also shaken and stumbled backward, her blood boiling with turmoil.


    Although she was at the tenth level of the Martial King realm, she had just broken through to this level and was no match for the opposition. Zhu Xuan¡¯s men were all at the peak of thetter stages of the tenth level of the Martial King realm, each with extraordinarybat strength.


    After sending Liu Hongmei¡¯s sharp sword flying, Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinate continued to reach for her, this time with even more force, he-he sneering. To be honest, he had never grabbed a princess of the Empire before.


    Today, he would finally experience how it felt.


    He hoped the feeling would be pleasant.


    Liu Hongmei¡¯s face was filled with shock and anger. She kept backing away, but her opponent was too fast, leaving her no chance to evade.


    Just as Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinate was about to grab her, suddenly, a thousand strands of Sword Qi burst forth.


    A spray of blood erupted.


    Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinate screamed in pain, retreating repeatedly. He looked down in shock to find his right hand had been reduced to a pulp.


    The sudden change left Liu Hongmei and the others astonished.


    Everyone turned their heads abruptly, only to see that a child had appeared in the courtyard at some unknown time.


    ¡°Who are you? We are from the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡± Zhu Xuan¡¯s subordinate, holding his destroyed right hand, said in disbelief, both shocked and furious, ¡°You dare to oppose the Sky-Stepping Sect, you¡¯re dead!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen anymore and simply opened his right palm. Immediately, the same thousand strands of Sword Qi burst forth again.


    This time, the thousand strands of Sword Qi did not just strike one person but spread out, covering the five men like a spider¡¯s web.


    Seeing this, Zhu Xuan¡¯s five subordinates turned pale with fright, swinging their long swords to create a dense web of des.


    However, the Sword Qi from the Skywalking Thousand Swords directly prated the sword web, then pierced through the heads, eyes, necks, and internal organs of the five men.


    After striking, Yang Xiaotian did not linger and continued walking towards the center of the cave.


    Only after Yang Xiaotian left did the five tumble to the ground with a loud crash, their bodies riddled with sword holes and their features beyond recognition¡ªeven if Zhu Xuan himself arrived, he would not be able to identify them.


    Not until the five hit the ground, blood pooling around them, did Liu Hongmeie back to her senses. She stared at the corpses, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.


    After Yang Xiaotian left, he hadn¡¯t gone far when a strong surge of power came from up ahead.


    Clearly, people were fighting ahead, and it wasn¡¯t just two of them.


    ¡°Zhu Xuan, you dream of monopolizing the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the Innate Sword Spirit here!¡± someone shouted angrily.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I will first eliminate you few ignorant fools and then exterminate your Beast God n once I get out!¡±

 Chapter 187 - 187 Zhu Xuan Injured

    Chapter 187: Zhu Xuan Injured


    Yang Xiaotian heard the sound and couldn¡¯t help but speed up.


    At this moment, within a grand pce in the central area of the cave dwelling, Zhu Xuan, clothed in white, waved a hand and immediately, the grand glow of Buddha shone forth, countless palm prints tore through the air, and the image of a golden Buddha faintly appeared.


    ¡°Golden Buddha Palm!¡±


    The four disciples of the Beast God n were shocked.


    This was the strongest divine skill of the Golden Buddha Temple from thousands of years ago.


    Zhu Xuan had actually cultivated it to the summit mastery.


    In panic, they used the most powerful technique of the Beast God n, the Heavenly Beast Fist.


    The force of the fists roared, as if a heavenly beast was roaring in fury.


    A thunderous boom sounded.


    But in the blink of an eye, the Golden Buddha Palm, with an overwhelming force, shattered the Heavenly Beast Fist.


    The four disciples of the Beast God n were pushed back simultaneously and crashed violently against the stone pirs of the pce, vomiting blood continuously.


    Zhu Xuan coldly looked at the four people, ¡°Mere ants trying to shake a tree! I thought you had some strength to dare to challenge me, but it turns out you¡¯re no different from the others, mere ants.¡±


    On the ground, there were already more than a dozen corpses.


    These n experts had just been killed by Zhu Xuan.


    Lou Qing of the Beast God n looked grim, having not expected Zhu Xuan to be so terrifyingly powerful. All four of them were at thete peak of the Martial King¡¯s tenthyer, and even joining forces, they could not withstand his single palm.


    Having said this, Zhu Xuan sent another palm strike flying out.


    He sent Lou Qing and the other three flying once more.


    After the four crashed to the ground, they passed out, and although they were not dead, they were not far from it.


    Seeing this, Zhu Xuan did not continue to attack and turned to walk towards the central altar in the pce, looking fervently at the two thunder attribute Innate Sword Spirits on the altar.


    These two Innate Sword Spirits were of the highest quality!


    Their quality and the strength of their sword spirit energy filled him with ecstasy.


    With these two Innate Sword Spirits, the two supreme swordsmanships of the Sky-Stepping Sect could be cultivated to the realm of summit mastery.


    Besides the two Innate Sword Spirits, there was also a small pool of Tribtion Thunder Water on the altar.


    The Tribtion Thunder Water surged with thunder, radiating a brilliant light and various phenomena.


    This was definitely Tribtion Thunder Water from the fourth-level tribtion or above!


    Only Tribtion Thunder Water from the fourth-level tribtion or above could produce such phenomena.


    Even though Zhu Xuan was a core disciple of the Sky-Stepping Sect and had consumed many treasures of heaven and earth, the sight of the Tribtion Thunder Water and the two Innate Sword Spirits still stirred his excitement.


    With these Tribtion Thunder Water and Innate Sword Spirits, he would soon surpass the other five swords and be the leader of the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Six Swords!


    ¡°Luo Xing, in the next Sect trial, I will definitely surpass you!¡± Zhu Xuanughed loudly,ughing wildly.


    Luo Xing was currently the leader of the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Six Swords.


    In the Sect trials of the Sky-Stepping Sect over the years, Luo Xing had always been one step ahead, to Zhu Xuan¡¯s great frustration.


    Now, he finally saw the chance to surpass Luo Xing!


    Soon, Zhu Xuan arrived in front of the altar, and just as he was about to use his divine skills to collect one of the Innate Sword Spirits, suddenly, from outside the pce, a force struck through the air towards him.


    An explosion of air waves.


    The power was so strong that Zhu Xuan¡¯s expression greatly changed; without further thought, he countered with a Golden Buddha Palm.


    A loud boom resounded.


    Zhu Xuan felt a mighty force hitting him, causing him to retreat repeatedly until he hit the altar.


    He was shocked and turned swiftly to look, and upon seeing that the person entering was a child, his face was full of astonishment.


    The person who came was none other than Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped into the hall, swept his gaze over the situation inside, and finally, his eyesnded on the Innate Sword Spirit on the altar and the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Yang Xiaotian was both surprised and delighted.


    This Thunder God Cave actually housed three Innate Sword Spirits!


    Aside from the one he had previously refined, there were two more!


    And both were of the thunder attribute.


    Thunder attribute Innate Sword Spirits could not only enhance the power of his Swordsmanship Divine Ability but also temper his physical body and Martial Soul.


    Zhu Xuan shuddered as he shook his numb arm and walked forward with a dark expression. He stared intently at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    ¡°Zhu Xuan, is it?¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that every de of grass and tree in this Thunder God Cave belongs to your Sky-Stepping Sect?¡±


    Zhu Xuan¡¯s expression turned cold, ¡°Since you know I am of the Sky-Stepping Sect, then you should know what the consequences of offending my sect are!¡±


    ¡°Kid, I don¡¯t care who you are or which Supreme Sect youe from, you¡¯d better leave obediently now, and I can let you off the hook!¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, not just you, but also your family and your sect, will all suffer the cmity of annihtion!¡±


    ¡°Just like the Mad de Sect and Sword Venerable Mansion!¡±


    After Zhu Xuan finished speaking, his aura climbed continuously, enveloping the entire hall.


    Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°To threaten to punish people and annihte their sects the moment you open your mouth, do you truly believe that the Divine Dragon Empire is now yours for the taking, to punish and annihte whomever you wish?¡±


    But Zhu Xuan spoke fiercely, ¡°The Divine Dragon Empire will sooner orter belong to my Sky-Stepping Sect.¡± With that, his figure shed, and the evil sword in his hand thrust out.


    Although in this cave his realm was suppressed, his sword was still iparably fast.


    Almost in a thought, Zhu Xuan¡¯s sword had already reached the front of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    If it were any other Martial King at the peak of the tenth level, they would have certainly been pierced by this sword.


    But unfortunately, he was facing Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian raised his hand and blocked Zhu Xuan¡¯s long sword.


    Zhu Xuan¡¯s long sword struck Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm.


    It couldn¡¯t move forward even half an inch.


    Zhu Xuan was shocked, his sword strike was such that even Luo Xing wouldn¡¯t be able to catch it barehanded.


    Yet now, he couldn¡¯t pierce through the palm of the young man before him.


    He couldn¡¯t even break the skin of his opponent¡¯s palm.


    What kind of Cultivation Technique had the other party trained in, for their physical defense to be so terrifyingly strong?


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian activated Skywalking Thousand Swords, and in Zhu Xuan¡¯s shock, a thousand sword Qi burst forth.


    ¡°Skywalking Thousand Swords!¡± Zhu Xuan cried out in fear, retreating quickly with his movement technique.


    Despite this, his right arm was still pierced by one of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword Qi.


    Zhu Xuan held his right arm, looking extremely disheveled as well as shocked and angry at Yang Xiaotian. He finally recognized who the young man was, ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian from the Tiandou Academy!¡±


    Fang Heng of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, Zeng Biao died at the hands of Tiandou Academy¡¯s Yang Xiaotian, and now his name was renowned throughout the empire.


    The Controlling Dragon Sword appeared in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand as he walked toward Zhu Xuan.


    Seeing the Controlling Dragon Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, Zhu Xuan took a shocked step back and roared with a fierce yet fearful voice, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, what do you want to do? My master is the Great Elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect, if something happens to me, my master will definitely find out, and then you and everyone who entered the cave will have to be buried with me!¡±


    However, Yang Xiaotian seemed as if he hadn¡¯t heard, his eyes were cold, and he swung the Controlling Dragon Sword in his hand.


    Suddenly, a dragon soul of a thousand zhang appeared before Zhu Xuan¡¯s eyes.


    Seeing the rampaging dragon soul charging at him, Zhu Xuan panicked. Like a crane soaring to the heavens, he disregarded everything else and shot up towards the sky, trying to escape outside the hall.


    But Yang Xiaotian had already anticipated the other¡¯s escape andunched a punch. However, just as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch was about to hit its mark, suddenly, with a sh of light, Zhu Xuan vanished into thin air.


    Vanished? Yang Xiaotian was startled, and he quickly left the hall to search around.

 Chapter 188 - 188 Kill Your Sister

    Chapter 188: Kill Your Sister


    Just as Yang Xiaotian frantically searched for traces of Zhu Xuan, Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°No need to look any further, he has an ancient talisman that allows him to teleport through space, and by now, he¡¯s likely thousands of miles away.¡±


    Ancient talisman, space teleportation!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank, and he asked, ¡°Master Ding, do you have a way to track down Zhu Xuan¡¯s whereabouts?¡±


    If Zhu Xuan escaped, the trouble would be endless.


    Medicine Cauldron shook its head, ¡°If he was still inside the Thunder God Cave, I would have a way, but now that he has teleported thousands of miles away, I¡¯m powerless to do anything, unless I have Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Again, Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Yang Xiaotian gave a bitter smile.


    Knowing he could not track down Zhu Xuan, Yang Xiaotian, reluctant as he was, could only give up, and he returned to the altar.


    Looking at the Innate Sword Spirit and the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water in front of him, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, observing the various phenomena of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, there was no doubt it was Level Four or above.


    However, he could not determine exactly which level it was.


    ¡°This Tribtion Thunder Water is indeed Level Four or above, but unfortunately, it¡¯s only Level Four,¡± Medicine Cauldron sighed at that moment.


    ¡°Only Level Four!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes widened.


    Luo Qing had said that the Tribtion Thunder within Thunder God Cave was likely Level Six, hadn¡¯t he?


    It was only Level Four?


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly disappointed.


    If it had been before, obtaining Level Four Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he would have been extremely joyful, but now, he urgently needed Level Six Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, to help Medicine Cauldron subjugate the Iceme Qilin.


    Especially now that Zhu Xuan had escaped, he needed to subjugate the Iceme Qilin even more.


    ¡°Perhaps, there is Level Six Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water elsewhere in Thunder God Cave, you should look again,¡± Medicine Cauldron suggested.


    It likewise hoped that Yang Xiaotian could find Level Six Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, and began to collect the Level Four Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the Innate Sword Spirit before him.


    At this time, thousands of miles away from Thunder God Cave, Zhu Xuan fell from the high sky to the ground, his face covered in dust. His white robe was stained with blood.


    Clutching his right arm, he took out an elixir, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the wound.


    Thinking about how he was injured and fled from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attack, thinking of the two Innate Sword Spirits and the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water that should have been his, Zhu Xuan¡¯s eyes turned blood-red as he bellowed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if I don¡¯t kill you, then I¡¯m not Zhu Xuan!¡±


    Having joined the Sky-Stepping Sect, being one of the Sect¡¯s Six Swords, and his master being the Great Elder of the Sect, his status was exceedingly noble, and yet now he had been rendered so utterly disheveled by a mere freshman from Tiandou Academy.


    He had even nearly died at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands.


    It was fortunate that he had the ancient talisman; otherwise, he would have really ended up dead at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands.


    The more Zhu Xuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and his killing intent grew stronger.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, is it? Just you wait for me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll kill your father and mother first! Then your sister!¡±


    Thinking of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sister in the True Dragon Divine Sect, a vicious n emerged in Zhu Xuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, we¡¯ll see how you save your sister then.¡± Zhu Xuan soared into the sky,ughing wildly.


    Three days passed.


    Inside the Thunder God Cave, Yang Xiaotian frowned deeply at the pce gates before him.


    He had searched every other ce in the cave, and now the only ce he had not searched was this pce, yet no matter what method he used, he couldn¡¯t open the pce gates.


    He had a feeling that if there was Level Six Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, it would be inside this pce.


    ¡°Try using the Thunderp Nine Heavens you¡¯ve obtained to see if you can open it,¡± Medicine Cauldron suddenly suggested.


    Thunderp Nine Heavens?


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian hurriedly took out the ¡°Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art¡± and began to carefully page through it.


    Earlier, after having nced through it cursorily, he felt that the ¡°Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art¡± was iparably profound; now as he pored over it, he found it even more expansive and mysterious.


    When Yang Xiaotian finished reviewing it, his chest heaved with emotion.


    Although he had not yet started cultivating the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art, he could be certain that it was no less formidable than his Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    ¡°Thunderp Nine Heavens, turning thunder into sword, when cultivated to the ultimate level, the thunder of the Nine Heavens will be at mymand, heaven and earth be my sword. With one strike, continents may rise or fall!¡±


    That was the final sentence of Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art.


    One sword strike, capable of causing a continent to rise or fall.


    Such shock, such a magnificent power.


    To understand how vast a continent is, consider the one Xiaotian currently resided in, the Azure God Continent, which had dozens of empires like the Divine Dragon Empire.


    As for kingdoms and sects, they were far too numerous to count.


    Even Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t begin to imagine the full expanse of the Azure God Continent.


    A person¡¯s power, covering an entire kingdom, was already shocking to hear of, let alone an empire¡ªthat was simply inconceivable, not to mention shaking an entire continent.


    Although Yang Xiaotian felt that thest statement of the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art was a bit exaggerated, it was still clear to him that its power was terrifying.


    After a while, Yang Xiaotian flipped through the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art for the second time.


    Having carefully finished his second reading, he closed the book, recalling the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Techniques and art, but he didn¡¯t rush to cultivate it, instead proceeding to his third reading.


    Momentster, Yang Xiaotian activated the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art,unching a punch that emitted dazzling thunderlight, with dozens of thunder swords plunging into the grand doors of the pce in front of him, causing the doors to surge with light.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    Previously, he had bombarded the pce doors with various methods with no effect, but now, using the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art, the doors responded so dramatically; it seemed that this sword art could indeed open them.


    However, the pce doors soon returned to calmness.


    Yang Xiaotian once again invoked the first move of Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art to attack, and the pce doors surged with light once more, but just like before, they quickly settled down again.


    Yang Xiaotian tried many times, to no avail.


    ¡°To truly open it, you mustpletely cultivate the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art,¡± Master Ding said.


    Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words.


    It was a false hope.


    The Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art was as profound as the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique. To fully cultivate it, how long would it take? Even if he were given one year or even two, he might not be able topletely master it.


    Yang Xiaotian, unwilling to give up, tried attacking with the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art again, but no matter how he struck, he could not open the pce doors.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to give up.


    Considering the pce doors could only be opened by the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Art, he wasn¡¯t worried that others would be able to open them.


    After taking another round through the Thunder God Cave without finding anything, Yang Xiaotian finally left the Thunder God Cave.


    When he emerged from the Thunder God Cave, Zhu Xuan¡¯s forces had long since withdrawn.


    Yang Xiaotian returned to the Tiandou Imperial City with the ck Flood Dragon King and Azure Thunder Python.


    However, the moment he entered the Tiandou Imperial City, he heard people discussing an attack on his mansion all over the streets.


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression changed, and he rushed back with the Azure Thunder Python.


    From a distance, he saw his mansion split into two halves by a tremendous saber Qi.


    The walls of the mansion had copsed, and everything was ruined beyond recognition.


    Instantly, a towering rage welled up inside him, uncontroble.


    Afternding, he charged madly into his parents¡¯ courtyard.

 Chapter 189: Auction of the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water

    Chapter 189: Auction of the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water


    ¡°Father, Mother!¡± Yang Xiaotian called out with a trembling voice.


    His hands and feet felt cold as if he were a child without any direction.


    He had lost his way.


    He couldn¡¯t imagine how dark his world would be if something happened to his parents.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian panicked, upon hearing his voice, arge group of people walked out from the courtyard.


    It was Yang Chao, Huang Ying, Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and others.


    Seeing Yang Chao and Huang Ying in an instant, Yang Xiaotian felt as if light had returned to the world, and he rushed over.


    ¡°Father, Mother, are you¡­¡± Yang Xiaotian choked up.


    ¡°We are fine,¡± Yang Chao choked up as well, and for the first time, he and Huang Ying held Yang Xiaotian tightly in their embrace.


    The family held each other tightly.


    Just now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands and feet were cold, but now they finally warmed up.


    He vigorously felt the warmth of his family.


    After a long while, Yang Xiaotian finally asked Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and others what had happened.


    ¡°It was yesterday during the day when suddenly a group of people came and burst into the manor. Without a word, they began killing anyone they saw,¡± Luo Qing said hoarsely: ¡°At that time, the manor lord, thedy, and we all had gone out.¡±


    Fortunately, they were out; otherwise, Yang Chao and Huang Ying might already¡­


    Thinking of this, Luo Qing shuddered with fear.


    Wu Qi, Liu An, Liao Kun, and the others were also terrified.


    They all knew how important Yang Chao and Huang Ying were to their young master.


    ¡°How many died?¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and asked.


    Luo Qing lowered his head and said, ¡°Over three hundred people.¡±


    Over three hundred people!


    Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists, his eyes full of murderous intent.


    In the past two years, he had used numerous elixirs to cultivate his subordinates. There were just over a thousand people in total, and now, more than three hundred had died at once.


    ¡°Who were they? What strength did they have?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with an icy voice.


    ¡°They all wore masks, and each of them was very strong, should all be at the Martial Emperor realm,¡± Liu An quickly said: ¡°There were neen of them in total.¡±


    Neen Martial Emperors!


    Yang Xiaotian felt his heart sink.


    Who was it?


    Was it Wang Zhou from the Empire Pharmacist Hall who had sent them?


    Or was it Zhu Xuan from the Sky-Stepping Sect?


    Or had the Maha Divine Sect already found out that Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and the other four died by his hand?


    Since the attackers were all Martial Emperors, the enemy must have known that he and the ck Flood Dragon King were not in the manor; otherwise, they would not have dared to court death.


    Could it be Zhu Xuan?


    After all, Zhu Xuan knew he was in the Thunder God Cave.


    But, he had appeared in the Withered Stone Ridge of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, and many family sect masters had seen him, too.


    ¡°Use all means to find out, search for them! Find out who they were sent by!¡± Yang Xiaotian said word by word to Luo Qing.


    ¡°Understood, young master, rest assured,¡± Luo Qing nodded solemnly.


    After that, all Yang Xiaotian could do was to have everyone start repairing the manor.


    Looking at the manor, chopped in half and destroyed beyond recognition, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but seethe with anger.


    Night fell.


    The night was quiet and still.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, taking out one Innate Sword Spirit.


    After obtaining two Innate Sword Spirits in the Thunder God Cave, Yang Xiaotian still hadn¡¯t refined them. Today, he nned to refine one of them first.


    Both Innate Sword Spirits were of high quality, just as exceptional as the thunder-attributed one he had previously refined.


    Previously, after he had refined the thunder-attributed Innate Sword Spirit, he managed to bring the Skywalking Thousand Swords, the Sword of ughter, and the Immortal Sword Technique to the peak of perfection.


    Together with the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and the Shocking Heaven Sword Art, now he had mastered five Supreme Divine Powers to the level of Summit Mastery.


    As long as he brought five more Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, his Golden Core formation in the future would at least be of the highest quality.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.


    During this half-month, Yang Xiaotian hadpletely refined the two thunder-attributed Innate Sword Spirits.


    As he predicted, after refining the two Sword Spirits, he had six more sword-based Supreme Divine Powers that reached the realm of Summit Mastery.


    Adding the previous five, that made it eleven!


    To condense a supreme Golden Core, one needed at least ten Supreme Divine Powers to reach Summit Mastery, and now, he already had eleven.


    After the breakthrough to Summit Mastery with the eleven Supreme Divine Powers, Yang Xiaotian somewhat rxed.


    As long as he found six more exceptional Innate Sword Spirits, he could hope to condense the strongest supreme Golden Core.


    After refining the two exceptional Innate Sword Spirits andprehending the Sword Intent within them, Yang Xiaotian once again condensed two Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    Now, he had seven Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!


    ¡°Seven,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    ording to what Fan Riquan previously said, seven Sword Hearts were already rare in this generation.


    If You Yi from the Unparalleled Academy, who had the Innate Sword Heart and the Five Elements Sword Body, still had only five Sword Hearts, then he, Yang Xiaotian, had far surpassed that You Yi.


    However, even though seven Sword Hearts were rare in this generation, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s goal was to have more than ten.


    His goal was to be truly unique throughout the ages, not just a rarity in the current times.


    During this half-month, aside from refining the two Sword Spirits, Yang Xiaotian focused on practicing Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    After half a month of intense practice, Thunderp Nine Heavens had been cultivated up to the seventh strike.


    However, like the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, there were forty-nine strikes in total, and the further he went, the harder it became to practice, making it impossible to master in a short period.


    One day, while Yang Xiaotian was practicing the eighth strike of Thunderp Nine Heavens, Luo Qing walked in looking exceedingly excited, ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s incredibly good news! There¡¯s information about the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    He then added, ¡°This time it¡¯s for real!¡±


    ¡°The Xueluo Commerce Assembly of the Empire is holding an auction in the middle of next month, and they are auctioning off sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, upon hearing this, was greatly exhrated, ¡°Xueluo Commerce Assembly is auctioning sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    The Xueluo Commerce Assembly, he knew, was not only thergest in the Divine Dragon Empire but also one of thergest in the surrounding empires, with branches in all neighboring nations.


    ¡°Yes, not only are they auctioning off the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, but they¡¯re also auctioning Supreme Divine Powers from ancient sects as well as ultimate-grade Nine Suns Longevity Pills,¡± Luo Qing excitedly listed a dozen other rare treasures.


    ¡°Are they auctioning off Innate Fine Iron?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    He already had fouryers of Tribtion Thunder Water. All that was missing was Innate Fine Iron to repair the Burying Heaven Sword, the top-ranked Heavenly Sword.


    Luo Qing shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s no Innate Fine Iron in this auction.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded; he would have to look for the Innate Fine Ironter.


    An auction in the middle of next month?


    That left him one month of time.


    ¡°By the way, Young Master, there¡¯s another major piece of news, the Empire Pharmacist Hall is organizing the Empire Alchemy Contest,¡± Luo Qing added.


    ¡°The Empire Alchemy Contest!¡± Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Luo Qing said, ¡°it is said that the Grand Hall Master of the Medicine Hall decided on the spur of the moment. The rewards are extremely astonishing, with the first prize even being the Earth me!¡±


    ¡°Earth me!¡± Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    The Earth me was ranked first on the Abnormal Fire List!


    Right below the Divine me.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected that the Grand Master of Pharmacists would be willing to put up the Earth me as a reward.


    ¡°Some people are also saying that the Grand Hall Master wishes to select a sessor through this contest,¡± said Luo Qing.

 Chapter 190: Guo Wei and Two Others Join Forces

    Chapter 190: Guo Wei and Two Others Join Forces


    Choosing a sessor!


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.


    This was about the session to the Empire Alchemy Hall!


    It was a position second only to one person, but above millions.


    ¡°The news of the auction and the Empire Pharmacists¡¯ Competition has gone crazy in the Empire,¡± Luo Qing said excitedly, ¡°Young Master, if you could inherit the Empire Alchemy Hall, what would there be to fear from Wang Zhou!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    It was not easy to be the sessor of the Empire Alchemy Hall.


    The Empire Alchemy Hall had aplexwork of power, with the great eldersing from various major forces, and even Shi Yongping, the Grand Hall Master of the Empire Alchemy Hall, couldn¡¯t just appoint someone as the sessor.


    However, since the Empire Pharmacists¡¯ Competition this time was offering the Earth me as a reward, it was worth participating in.


    If he could get the Earth me, plus the Nine Phoenixes Golden me he already possessed, then he would have two of the top ten Abnormal Fires!


    If one could gather all of the top ten Abnormal Fires on the Abnormal Fire List, what a scene it would be during alchemy when all ten great Abnormal Fires were unleashed simultaneously.


    ¡°Those people, have you found them?¡± Yang Xiaotian then asked Luo Qing, referring to the group of Martial Kings who had attacked his residence.


    Luo Qing shook his head: ¡°I¡¯ve already put out a million in rewards, and even contacted Dark Dragon, but there¡¯s still no news; those people have vanished into thin air.¡±


    Dark Dragon was thergest intelligence organization in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He too knew that to root out those people and their backers was no easy task.


    Since both the Empire Pharmacists¡¯ Competition and the auction were to be held next month,


    there was still time, and Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to rush to the Empire but instead went to the highest level of the Tiandou Academy Scripture Pavilion to peruse other Supreme Divine Powers of the Tiandou Academy.


    The Tiandou Academy, other than the Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power from the Sword Tower, had over thirty other Supreme Divine Powers in the Scripture Pavilion.


    By now, he had learned over sixty Supreme Divine Powers, and if he mastered all of the thirty or so Supreme Divine Powers from the Tiandou Academy Scripture Pavilion, he would have a total of one hundred.


    Although one must cultivate thirty Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery to condense the strongest superior Golden Core, still, the more Supreme Divine Powers he mastered, the more it would help him condense the strongest superior Golden Core.


    The first Supreme Divine Power Yang Xiaotian perused was the ¡°Tiandou Sword Technique.¡±


    He quickly finished reading the Tiandou Sword Technique and couldn¡¯t help butment that the Tiandou Sword Technique, as the strongest swordsmanship of the Tiandou Academy, was indeed remarkable, but regrettably, without the Tiandou Sword, its true power couldn¡¯t be unleashed.


    Several dayster, Yang Xiaotian finally mastered all of the thirty or so Supreme Divine Powers avable in the Scripture Pavilion.


    When Yang Xiaotian walked out of the Book Pavilion, he saw Fan Riquan waiting for him.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Fan Riquan smiled warmly, ¡°You¡¯re out.¡± He knew that Yang Xiaotian had been perusing Supreme Divine Powers in the Book Pavilion for the past few days and took out several Supreme Divine Powers: ¡°These Supreme Divine Powers were fortuitous gains from my younger days.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian intended to decline, but Fan Riquan shook his head and said, ¡°For hundreds of years, no one from the Tiandou Academy has ever been able to condense a superior Golden Core, and I hope you can break that precedent.¡±


    Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian epted them.


    Fan Riquan hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°Over the years, I¡¯ve been investigating the whereabouts of the Tiandou Sword and have some clues.¡±


    ¡°The Tiandou Sword should be with the Sky-Stepping Sect.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised, ¡°With the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    Fan Riquan nodded, ¡°Decades ago, the previous dean of our Tiandou Academy mysteriously disappeared, and the Tiandou Sword he carried vanished with him. However, throughout my years of investigation, I¡¯ve discovered that he had been murdered¡ªand the killer is Tian Chong, the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    On saying this, Fan Riquan gave a bitter smile.


    Although he knew the killer and even had evidence, the murderer was Tian Chong, the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect; he wouldn¡¯t dare approach the Sky-Stepping Sect to demand the Tiandou Sword even if he had ten thousand times the courage.


    ¡°Tian Chong,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    ¡°This Tian Chong is not only the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect but also a master from our Empire¡¯s Tian Family. Right, he¡¯s Tian Meiling¡¯s granduncle,¡± Fan Riquan said.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    Tian Meiling¡¯s granduncle?


    After a moment of silence, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Vice President, rest assured, if I ever get the chance, I will retrieve the Tiandou Sword for Tiandou Academy.¡±


    Fan Riquan expressed his gratitude, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After parting ways with Fan Riquan, Yang Xiaotian was about to leave the Academy when Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong approached from a distance. Guo Wei looked at Yang Xiaotian coldly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, the three of us wish to battle you. Do you dare?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the three of them and said indifferently, ¡°The three of you?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, ¡°Indeed, we are not your match in one-on-onebat, but the three of us together¡ªdo you dare?¡±


    Xiao Yong said coldly, ¡°If you lose, leave the Controlling Dragon Sword behind!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the three of them, ¡°What if you three lose?¡±


    Guo Wei replied, ¡°If we lose, everything we have on us is yours,¡± he then took a deep breath, ¡°including the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Okay!¡±


    And so, the four of them headed over to the square.


    The news that Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong were joining hands to fight against Yang Xiaotian spread, and the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy were in an uproar, all rushing to the square.


    In the center of the ring in the square, Yang Xiaotian watched Guo Wei and the others coldly, knowing that they dared to challenge him despite being aware that he possessed a ck Flood Dragon King of the Emperor Realm. This clearly meant they had someone backing them up.


    The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect?


    He knew that Xiao Yong¡¯s granduncle was the Supreme Elder of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.


    One of the Empire¡¯s top ten Supreme Sects, even an Elder at the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect held enough clout to summon the wind and rain in the Empire, let alone the Supreme Elder.


    Just then, an Emperor Sword and a Green Sea Sword appeared in Guo Wei¡¯s hands, and suddenly, a sword light surged in his chest.


    It was five Sword Hearts!


    ¡°Five Sword Hearts! Guo Wei has actually condensed five Sword Hearts!¡± Everyone was shaken to see that Guo Wei had sessfully condensed a fifth Sword Heart.


    Having seven Sword Hearts was a rare feat in the world, and Guo Wei, at just over twenty years old, had condensed five Sword Hearts ¨C this was absolutely shocking for the Empire.


    At this moment, Lin Xiao began chanting in silence, and as space split open, his Fierce Beast, Zhu Yan, emerged from within. During theirst battle, Zhu Yan was at thete eightyer stage of the Martial King realm, but now, astonishingly, it had reached the peak of the Martial King tenthyer!


    What was even more surprising was that another huge Three-Eyed Demon Tiger followed behind the Fierce Beast.


    It was also at the peak of the Martial King tenthyer!


    ¡°Lin Xiao, he¡¯s actually controlling two Fierce Beasts! Both are at the peak of the Martial King tenthyer!¡± Seeing Lin Xiao summon two Fierce Beasts at once, the crowd was equally shocked.


    Then, Xiao Yong¡¯s body surged with starlight, and above in the high sky, a towering star deity appeared, with a terrifying divine might enveloping heaven and earth.


    At the same time, Xiao Yong spurred the Stars Infinity Technique with all his might.


    As Xiao Yong activated the Stars Infinity Technique, the sun disappeared above the Nine Heavens, and starlight fell down. The power of the stars was vast like the ocean, forming a barrier around.


    ¡°This is the Star Barrier! Only by cultivating the Stars Infinity Technique to the tenthyer can one condense such a Star Barrier!¡± Some knowledgeable teachers eximed in shock upon seeing this, ¡°With this barrier, the power of the stars is inexhaustible, and no one can break through!¡±


    The crowd was astonished.


    No one can break through!


    Was Xiao Yong then in an invincible position?!

 Chapter 191 - 191 Guo Wei’s Head Rolls Off

    Chapter 191: Guo Wei¡¯s Head Rolls Off


    Originally, none of the people held Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong in high regard.


    Even with the three of them teaming up, everyone still favored Yang Xiaotian to win, feeling that he would still emerge victorious.


    After all, the impression Yang Xiaotian left on everyone was one of invincibility.


    But now, when people saw that Guo Wei had actually condensed the fifth Sword Heart, Lin Xiao had actually tamed two Fierce Beasts at the peak of the Martial King¡¯s tenfold strength, and Xiao Yong had cultivated the Stars Infinity Technique to the tenth level, they all wavered.


    Their confidence in Yang Xiaotian began to shake.


    ¡°This time, Yang Xiaotian is afraid he¡¯s going to lose!¡± a first-year student shook his head.


    ¡°Afraid? I say he¡¯s bound to lose!¡± Zhong Lei, a first-year, sneered.


    ¡°Guo Wei with five Sword Hearts! Moreover, his strength has already broken through to the mid-phase of Martial King Tenfold, Lin Xiao¡¯s two Fierce Beasts, they¡¯reparable to Martial Ancestor level one! Xiao Yong¡¯s Star Barrier, no one of the same realm can break through it!¡±


    ¡°If Yang Xiaotian can still win, I¡¯ll fucking cut off my own finger!¡±


    Zhong Lei said fiercely.


    Even Huang Yiqing, the ss head teacher of the first grade¡¯s first ss, shook his head, clearly not feeling optimistic about Yang Xiaotian this time.


    Chen Jun, He Qingzhe, and Tian Meiling also arrived.


    He Qingzhe sneered, feeling that Yang Xiaotian was certainly doomed this time.


    Of course, he knew that the alliance of Guo Wei and the other two had been premeditated, and they were not only after Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Controlling Dragon Sword but also his life!


    To be precise, it was the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect behind the three who wanted Yang Xiaotian dead!


    Tang Lin shook her head to Tian Meiling, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian has been too careless, daring to ept this battle. With the strength of Guo Wei and the others, they are definitely invincible below the Martial Ancestor level!¡±


    Tian Meiling nodded: ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that Guo Wei would, just like You Yi from the Unparalleled Academy, condense the fifth Sword Heart.¡±


    ¡°Guo Wei is a reincarnation of an Ancient God, it seems, in ancient times, he was also an extremely powerful being at the Divine Spirit Realm,¡± said Tang Lin.


    The power of Guo Wei and the other two continued to rise, overwhelming like a tsunami, flooding the entire square.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in the center of the square, like a floating duckweed, in danger of being annihted at any moment.


    Guo Wei stood there, activating the Ancient Thunder God Art, like an invincible Ancient Thunder God: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, in this battle, it will be a fight among the four of us, and you cannot use external forces,¡±


    Referring to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ck Flood Dragon King.


    ¡°Rest assured, I won¡¯t use the ck Flood Dragon King,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ncing at the three: ¡°Whatever tricks you have, use them all now so that you can¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a chance.¡±


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian spoke, everyone was startled.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian still dared to scorn them at this point, Guo Weiughed furiously, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I don¡¯t believe you can condense the fourth Nine-Colored Sword Heart!¡± With that said, he activated the power of all five Sword Hearts, the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword in his hands simultaneously shing out.


    Instantly, the sword light shone dazzlingly across the Nine Heavens, its sheer brilliance nearly blinding those present.


    Almost simultaneously, Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong also made their moves.


    Lin Xiao suddenly punched towards Yang Xiaotian.


    A divine light like that of golden bronze emanated from his entire body.


    This was the Divine Light of the Thousandfold Divine Body!


    At this moment, Lin Xiao had driven the Thousandfold Divine Body to its extreme.


    Alongside Lin Xiao, Zhu Yan and the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger pounced towards Yang Xiaotian simultaneously.


    The paw prints of the two great Fierce Beasts, massive as small hills, reached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head in the blink of an eye.


    Xiao Yong was even faster, his fists striking out with a barrage of afterimages.


    With Xiao Yong¡¯s punch, the sky filled with starry energy condensed into countless stars, like a sky full of falling meteorites, smashing down towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Thebined strike of Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong rendered everyone there shaken.


    Such terrifying power, even many of the Martial Ancestor Realm students present were filled with fear.


    ¡°So strong! Too strong!¡± Even Tang Lin was full of shock.


    She too hade through the Martial King Realm and had never imagined that the power at the Martial King Realm could be so formidable.


    ¡°Finishing blow!¡± Chen Jun, who had been silent, watched the earth-shattering power of the three like a sweeping storm hammering down on Yang Xiaotian and spoke slowly.


    Such power, not a single Martial King Realm could withstand it.


    Yang Xiaotian was going to lose!


    With such a strike, if Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t die, he would be gravely injured.


    Witnessing the world-shattering power of Guo Wei and the other two, He Qingzhe, who had been somewhat worried, finally let go of his anxiety.


    With such a strike, he did not believe Yang Xiaotian could withstand it.


    Just as Guo Wei said, he did not believe that Yang Xiaotian had condensed the fourth Nine-Colored Sword Heart.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, die for us!¡± Guo Wei roared in anger, driven mad by the earlier humiliation from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s relentless barrage, and even more fervently stimted the Ancient Thunder God Art and Ancient Dragon God bloodline.


    A gigantic ancient dragon manifested behind him.


    The dragon¡¯s roar was unceasing.


    Standing there, Yang Xiaotian felt the destructive power of the three and, seeing the fierce smiles on their faces, he stimted the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Suddenly, a thousand True Essence Dragons soared into the sky.


    The moment the thousand True Essence Dragons took flight, the overwhelming dragon power surged like a tsunami, shattering the high sky that had been covered by Xiao Yong¡¯s Stars Infinity Technique.


    And Zhu Yan, the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger that was bombarding Xiaotian¡¯s head from above, felt itself struck by a terrifyingly extreme force, shaking its mountainous body and causing it to retreat repeatedly in midair.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes gleamed as he summoned the power of the four great Sword Hearts in his chest and fiercely punched out with both fists.


    Without Divine Skills, it was purely the power of his physical body and the four great Sword Hearts!


    Yet, it produced two immense columns of fist-force swords.


    Wherever the columns passed,


    Guo Wei¡¯s Sword Qi scattered, and his thunderous power was blown away.


    Lin Xiao¡¯s Divine Light exploded, and every corner of his armor burst apart.


    The Star Barrier surrounding Xiao Yong was continuously torn apart, and the celestial deity above his head flickered like a candle in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing.


    Fear, pure and unadulterated, filled the eyes of Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong.


    Almost simultaneously, the three of them, along with Zhu Yan and the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger, were plowed through the air by the fist-force sword columns.


    They slid through midair,


    Then crashed through a distant teaching building.


    Fallen out of sight to all.


    The teaching building copsed with a thunderous crash.


    Dust and debris rolled ceaselessly.


    The shock reverberated for a long time.


    All present were stunned.


    Guo Wei, who had condensed five Sword Hearts, Lin Xiao, who had subdued two peak Martial King tenyer Fierce Beasts, and Xiao Yong, who had practiced the Stars Infinity Technique to the tenth level and possessed the Star Barrier¡ª


    The three joined forces.


    Defeated!


    Completely defeated!


    ¡°Four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± In a deathly silence, someone¡¯s voice trembled.


    Chen Jun, He Qingzhe, and Tian Meiling¡¯s muscles quivered as they looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment.


    To think that Yang Xiaotian had really condensed the fourth Nine-Colored Sword Heart!


    What kind of monster was this Yang Xiaotian?


    Within one year, he had condensed four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    No, not a year, but half a year¡ªIn just half a year, he had condensed four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    If a few more years were to pass, how many Nine-Colored Sword Hearts would Yang Xiaotian have condensed?


    Five, six, or even seven?


    The more the crowd thought about it, the more frightened they became.


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward, picked up the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword that had fallen to the ground, and approached Guo Wei.


    As if guessing what Yang Xiaotian was about to do, He Qingzhe¡¯s face changed color and he shouted, ¡°Stop! Guo Wei has already been selected as a seed disciple by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yang Xiaotian swing both the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword in his hands.


    Guo Wei¡¯s head rolled to the ground.

 Chapter 192: The Expert from the Sky-Stepping Sect Has Arrived

    Chapter 192: The Expert from the Sky-Stepping Sect Has Arrived


    He Qingzhe and the others stared in astonishment as Guo Wei¡¯s severed head rolled on the ground.


    Guo Wei was an unusual genius with five Sword Hearts congealed, and he possessed the ancient bloodline of the Dragon God. Yang Xiaotian had just killed him without hesitation!


    Moreover, He Qingzhe had just warned Yang Xiaotian, telling him that Guo Wei had been selected as a seed disciple by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect in advance, yet Yang Xiaotian still killed him without any hesitation.


    Looking at Guo Wei¡¯s head with its wide, bulging eyes, everyone¡¯s hearts were profoundly shaken.


    Guo Wei had been hailed as one of the most talented geniuses that Tiandou Academy had ever seen, even having the potential to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm in the future, yet now hey dead before them.


    ¡°He¡¯s gone mad!¡± Tang Lin muttered, referring to Yang Xiaotian.


    Since Guo Wei had already been selected as a seed disciple by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, it was clear that someone high up in the sect favored him. Now, Yang Xiaotian had killed him!


    This was tantamount to piercing the heavens.


    After Yang Xiaotian killed Guo Wei, he expressionlessly walked towards Xiao Yong.


    Xiao Yong, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian approaching with his sword, had his courage shattered and was utterly panic-stricken. ¡°Yang Xiaotian, our fight was just a normal spar, you can¡¯t kill me, you can¡¯t!¡± By the end, he was almost begging, his voice unclear because of his terror.


    ¡°A normal spar?¡± Yang Xiaotian sneered.


    The three had clearly intended to put him to death.


    A normal spar?


    Just as Xiao Yong was about to speak again, Yang Xiaotian swung his Emperor Sword.


    Xiao Yong¡¯s head fell to the ground.


    Blood sprayed high from Xiao Yong¡¯s neck, sttering all over Lin Xiao¡¯s face.


    Lin Xiao almost suffocated, overwhelmed by the heat of Xiao Yong¡¯s blood.


    When he saw Yang Xiaotian approaching him with his sword, Lin Xiao was terror-stricken and tried to struggle to his feet, but he found himselfpletely devoid of strength.


    He was born with a Thousandfold Divine Body, possessing immense strength capable of moving mountains and diverting rivers, yet now he couldn¡¯t even get up.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, we were only acting on others¡¯ orders,¡± Lin Xiao said tremulously.


    Yang Xiaotian swung his Green Sea Sword.


    Lin Xiao¡¯s head soared into the air.


    Perhaps due to the force used, Lin Xiao¡¯s head was thrown higher than those of Guo Wei and Xiao Yong.


    As Yang Xiaotian decapitated Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao in session, the crowd was too shocked to speak. Even Zhong Lei, who had just proimed that Yang Xiaotian would lose and boasted that he would sever his own finger if Yang Xiaotian won, had fallen silent.


    ¡°Is this a deration of war against the Tiandou Imperial Family?¡± a student whispered.


    Xiao Yong was the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    And he was valued by His Majesty Tiandou.


    Yang Xiaotian had publicly beheaded him; could the Tiandou Imperial Family let this pass?


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian chopped off the head of Zhu Yan, the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger, took the belongings from the bodies of the three he had killed, and then left.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure, the za fell into utter silence, without a single sound.


    ¡°Zhong Yun must be heartbroken.¡± Tang Lin looked at Guo Wei¡¯s body andmented withplex emotion.


    It was well-known throughout the academy that Zhong Yun cherished Guo Wei so deeply that he tirelessly mentored Guo Wei¡¯s cultivation and even fed him the precious True Dragon Blood that he had been collecting for many years.


    He even brought out the Sword Stele from the Death Sword Tomb for Guo Wei toprehend.


    But now, just a few days after Guo Wei had congealed his fifth Sword Heart, he was dead!


    As everyone imagined, upon learning of Guo Wei¡¯s beheading, Zhong Yun felt as if his heart had been violently struck. He couldn¡¯t sit still, his rear end knocking the nearby stools into disarray.


    Zhong Yun suddenly roared.


    Within his roar was a fierce killing intent and hatred.


    The students passing by Zhong Yun¡¯s courtyard were terrified half to death by his roar.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Zhong Yun bellowed, with bloodshot eyes. He fiercely thrust his w into a nearby stone seat, pulverizing it, as if the stone seat were Yang Xiaotian.


    After a long time, forcefully suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, he arrived at Xie Hong¡¯s courtyard.


    Fan Riquan was also there.


    As soon as Zhong Yun arrived, he demanded that Xie Hong expel Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°What, expel Yang Xiaotian?¡± Xie Hong frowned upon hearing this.


    ¡°Exactly, Guo Wei and the other two were our academy¡¯s unparalleled geniuses. In a normalpetition with Yang Xiaotian, they were killed by him. Yang Xiaotian has a nature of devouring and killing, and has apparently fallen into demonhood. If we keep him in the academy, I fear he willy hands on other students!¡± Zhong Yun¡¯s voice was cold.


    Fan Riquan spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Fallen into demonhood? Great Elder, aren¡¯t you exaggerating? As far as I know, it was Guo Wei and the others who, under the guise of a friendly match, attempted to gang up and kill Yang Xiaotian, but were instead killed by him in self-defense.¡±


    Zhong Yun looked at Fan Riquan with a ferocious gaze, ¡°Are you suggesting that Guo Wei and the others got what they deserved?¡± As he spoke, he suddenly threw a punch at Fan Riquan and bellowed, ¡°Fan Riquan, I think you, just like Yang Xiaotian, have already fallen into demonhood!¡±


    After leaving Tiandou Academy, Yang Xiaotian returned to his residence and began to grasp the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword.


    With Guo Wei dead, the Emperor Sword and Green Sea Sword were masterless. Yang Xiaotian found it easy to study them, and by nightfall, he had already gained a preliminary control over them.


    In the blink of an eye, several days passed.


    At this time, there were only twenty days left until the Empire Pharmacist Competition.


    Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and others set off on their journey toward the Imperial Capital of the Empire.


    Considering that Yang Ling¡¯er might alsoe to the Empire Pharmacist Competition, Yang Chao and Huang Ying also apanied Xiaotian to the Imperial Capital.


    ¡°Young Master, I heard that a few days ago, Zhong Yun went and made a scene at Xie Hong¡¯s ce, asking him to expel you from the Tiandou Academy,¡± Luo Qing said along the way.


    ¡°Expel me?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression turned cold.


    ¡°Yes, Zhong Yun imed you had fallen into demonhood and demanded Xie Hong expel you. Because of this, he even had a big fight with Vice Chancellor Fan,¡± Luo Qing said. After hesitating for a moment, he added, ¡°I also found out that Zhong Yun and some masters from the Tiandou Imperial Family went to the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.¡±


    ¡°With Guo Wei¡¯s incident, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect is likely not going to let things go easily.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    However, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect probably wouldn¡¯t send someone from the Saint Realm just for a person like Guo Wei.


    Of course, even if a Saint Realm dide, he was not afraid.


    The journey was uneventful.


    After more than ten days, they finally arrived at the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s Imperial Capital.


    Beholding the towering magnificence of the Empire¡¯s Imperial Capital, everyone was excited.


    Even the usually expressionless Wu Qi was visibly excited.


    To many people, the Imperial Capital of the Divine Dragon Empire was a sacred ce, representing supreme glory.


    In their excitement, Yang Xiaotian led the group into the Imperial Capital.


    The first impression the Imperial Capital gave Yang Xiaotian was of grandeur.


    The streets were extremely wide, and the surrounding buildings were tall, splendid, and carried an air of ancient times.


    Among them, one felt as insignificant as an ant.


    At a single nce, one could see strong individuals from all directions, densely packed, bustling about incessantly.


    Bustling yet orderly.


    A sense of ultimate prosperity naturally arose.


    ¡°Everyone, make way! It¡¯s the Sky-Stepping Sect! The masters of the Sky-Stepping Sect have arrived!¡±


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was surveying the Imperial Capital, a sudden intensemotion stirred among the crowd behind him.


    Arge group of masters rode their Mount Beasts in a continuous stream into the city gates of the Imperial Capital.


    For this Empire Pharmacist Competition, the masters from the ten Supreme Sects of the Empire, including the Sky-Stepping Sect, had alle.


    Among the masters from the Sky-Stepping Sect, at the forefront were two young men, one of whom was Zhu Xuan.

 Chapter 193 - 193 Long Xingtian

    Chapter 193: Long Xingtian


    Zhu Xuan mounted a huge white tiger.


    The white tiger was hairless.


    Its entire body was smoothly polished.


    Zhu Xuan, riding atop it, had an unmatched air ofmand.


    Walking shoulder to shoulder with him was none other than Long Xingtian of the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Six Swords, known as Blood Sword.


    Zhu Xuan turned to Long Xingtian with a smile, ¡°Young Master Long, your alchemy talent is extraordinary. In this Empire Alchemists¡¯ Competition, you¡¯re sure to im the top spot!¡±


    Long Xingtian was recognized as the most talented alchemy genius of the younger generation within the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Hearing this, Long Xingtian smiled, ¡°This time at the Empire Alchemists¡¯ Competition, I heard even Gu Shaozong from the Ancient Divine Pce hase. It will be difficult to im the top spot.¡± Despite his words, his tone radiated tremendous confidence.


    ¡°Gu Shaozong.¡± Zhu Xuan¡¯s heart sank.


    The Ancient Divine Pce was one of the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s ten Supreme Sects, its strength only secondary to the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    And Gu Shaozong was considered the disciple with the greatest talent the Ancient Divine Pce had seen in tens of thousands of years.


    Not one of them.


    Not only was Gu Shaozong a freak in Martial Dao talent, but his alchemy talent was also unrivaled. So high was his alchemy talent that even the Grand Medicine Hall Master Shi Yongping was left in awe.


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s extraordinary talent made even Zhu Xuan, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, deeply impressed.


    Just as Zhu Xuan was about to speak, suddenly, he saw Yang Xiaotian within the crowd ahead, causing his eyes to narrow and his face to sour.


    Long Xingtian noticed Zhu Xuan¡¯s unusual behavior and followed his gaze, his eyesnding on Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Brother Zhu knows this kid?¡±


    Zhu Xuan replied gravely, ¡°Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Yang Xiaotian!¡± Upon hearing the name, Long Xingtian¡¯s eyes lit up and he sized up Yang Xiaotian from head to toe.


    Fang Heng was extremely famous within the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s circle of pharmacists, yet he and Zeng Biao had died at the hands of Yang Xiaotian.


    A few months ago, when Long Xingtian heard the news, he simply couldn¡¯t believe his ears and thought he had heard wrong.


    Later, when he confirmed that Fang Heng and Zeng Biao had indeed died in Tiandou Imperial City, Long Xingtian became interested in this Yang Xiaotian and wanted to see if thetter really had the capability to subdue an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon.


    Riding a ck tiger, he came up to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian? Did you kill Fang Heng and Zeng Biao?¡±


    Hearing Long Xingtian¡¯s condescending tone, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t respond, but instead looked towards Zhu Xuan, ¡°The Martial Emperor, were they sent by you?¡±


    Although he had not yet found the Martial Emperors who attacked his manor or the person behind them, Yang Xiaotian had a hunch it was Zhu Xuan.


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan¡¯s face remained unchanged, and he let out a coldugh, ¡°What Martial Emperor? I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian ignore him, Long Xingtian¡¯s face darkened, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t think you¡¯re impressive just because you¡¯ve tamed an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast. In front of us, the Sky-Stepping Sect, an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast is nothing more than a somewhat stronger insect.¡±


    ¡°I know you have good alchemy talent and possess the me of Star, but it¡¯s merely the me of Star after all.¡±


    With that, he outstretched his hand, and a clump of purple fire flew out.


    ¡°Purple Luo Extreme Fire!¡±


    The surrounding crowd gasped.


    Purple Luo Extreme Fire was the Abnormal Fire listed twelfth on the Abnormal Fire List.


    Long Xingtian looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Your me of Star is trashpared to my Purple Luo Extreme Fire.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression was indifferent, ¡°Purple Luo Extreme Fire is trivial, your Purple Luo Extreme Fire is trash in my eyes too.¡±


    Long Xingtian, upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡ªwho possessed the me of Star¡ªcall his own Purple Luo Extreme Fire trash, couldn¡¯t help butugh in anger, ¡°My Purple Luo Extreme Fire is trash? Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re also here to participate in the Empire Alchemists¡¯ Competition, aren¡¯t you!¡±


    ¡°By then, at the Empire Pharmacist Competition, we¡¯ll see whose Abnormal Fire is trash.¡±


    Having said that, Zhu Xuan left with a group of his followers in tow.


    As Zhu Xuan passed by Yang Xiaotian, he nced sidelong at him, the corners of his mouth curling into a sinister smile, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I saw your sister a few days ago. She is very pretty.¡±


    He thenughed heartily and departed.


    Just as Zhu Xuan was leaving with boisterousughter, intending to strut away, Xiao Jin retorted, ¡°Laugh at your sister!¡±


    Zhu Xuan almost slipped off the tiger he was riding; turning back in anger, he fixed Xiao Jin with a nce that carried murderous intent.


    However, in the end, he said nothing and left with Long Xingtian and the others.


    After their departure, Long Yu, a subordinate of Long Xingkong, said to Long Xingtian, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian is a frog in the well; Young Master, you need not stoop to his level.¡±


    Long Xingtian nodded, ¡°Yang Xiaotianes from a tiny kingdom¡¯s minor city. He is ignorant and naive, I certainly won¡¯t stoop to his level.¡± Saying this, he sneered, ¡°However, I didn¡¯t expect him to be so audacious as to dare to participate in the Empire Pharmacist Competition.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, and now Fang Zhou must be itching to grind Yang Xiaotian into a pulp.


    ¡°Just wait, when the timees, Fang Zhou will definitely cut Yang Xiaotian into tiny pieces,¡± Zhu Xuan said with augh, ¡°Does he think that in the Imperial Capital, Fang Zhou wouldn¡¯t dare to kill him?¡±


    ¡°Even if Fang Zhou can¡¯t make a move within the Imperial Capital, once we¡¯re outside, Yang Xiaotian will undoubtedly be dead.¡±


    After Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, and the rest had left, Yang Xiaotian and his group began to look for a ce to stay.


    However, every major inn in the Imperial Capital was already fully booked, and after searching for half a day, they still couldn¡¯t find anywhere to stay.


    Yang Xiaotian was at a loss.


    It seemed they would have to buy directly.


    This time, they hade with more than twenty people; they couldn¡¯t keep wandering the streets aimlessly.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and his group went straight to the Xueluo Commerce Assembly.


    However, when they heard the prices of estates in the Imperial Capital, everyone was shocked, including Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!¡± Yang Chao and Huang Ying¡¯s eyes bulged.


    The price for a residence in Tiandou Imperial City was a million Gold Coins; to the two of them, that was already an astronomical figure, yet now in the Imperial Capital, an estate required over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!


    A single low-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to ten thousand Gold Coins; over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones was thus over a billion Gold Coins.


    Over a billion¡ªwhat kind of concept was that?


    Laid out, it would be a mountain of gold.


    Their house in Xingyue City probably couldn¡¯t even hold over a billion Gold Coins.


    The Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple who was showing Yang Xiaotian the estate, upon seeing his and everyone else¡¯s reaction, wasn¡¯t surprised; these days, many experts from the empires also visited the Xueluo Commerce Assembly to inquire about the prices of estates in the Imperial Capital.


    After learning the price, they all had the same reaction.


    And then left dejected.


    Just as he thought Yang Xiaotian and his group would also leave dejected, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°We¡¯ll buy that Azure Dragon Residence; proceed with the paperwork.¡± Saying this, he pulled out a Space Ring and handed it to the Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple.


    The Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple held the Space Ring and was stunned as he looked at the mountainous pile of Gold Coins inside it.


    These Gold Coins were part of the mountain of gold Yang Xiaotian had obtained from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure, of course.


    ¡°Please wait a moment, Young Master,¡± after a long pause, the excited Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple recovered and addressed Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I will count the Gold Coins and process the paperwork right away.¡±


    At that moment, an overseer from the Xueluo Commerce Assembly came over with a young man, and this young man turned out to be Long Xingtian¡¯s subordinate, Long Yu.


    After the overseer from the Xueluo Commerce Assembly entered, he said cheerfully to the disciple, ¡°Little Chen, this Young Master Long would like to purchase the Azure Dragon Residence. Process the paperwork for Young Master Long, please.¡±

 Chapter 194: Is this provoking him?

    Chapter 194: Is this provoking him?


    The disciple from themerce assembly who was about to handle the procedures for Yang Xiaotian paused, then said to his manager, ¡°Sir, this young master has just reserved the Azure Dragon Residence.¡± He pointed at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°I¡¯m in the midst of handling the procedures now.¡±


    The manager was astonished; the Azure Dragon Residence was expensive, and it had been on the market for a few years without selling. He hadn¡¯t expected that today, two people wanted to buy it.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian doubtfully, ¡°This young master wants to buy it?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The disciple from themerce assembly stood up and handed the Space Ring to the manager, ¡°I am currently counting the Gold Coins.¡±


    ¡°Gold Coins?¡± The manager frowned upon hearing this.


    Long Yu, an underling of Long Xingtian, watched the huge pile of Gold Coins inside the Space Ring and sneered at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this must be your first time in the Imperial Capital if you¡¯re using Gold Coins to buy a residence.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that in the Imperial Capital, themon currency epted by themerce assembly is Spirit Stone?¡±


    Then, he said to the manager, ¡°The Azure Dragon Residence is intended for our young master to purchase. Our young master is Blood Sword, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, and he intends to move into the Azure Dragon Residence tonight.¡±


    He took out a Space Ring and gave it to themerce assembly manager.


    Upon hearing that the person behind Long Yu was Blood Sword, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, the manager¡¯s expression changed. He said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young master, ourmerce assemblymonly uses Spirit Stone as currency, so we cannot sell the Azure Dragon Residence to you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian asked themerce assembly disciple, ¡°Does yourmerce assembly not conduct transactions with Gold Coins?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was somewhat aware of the regtions of the Empire¡¯smerce assemblies; although it wasmon to use Spirit Stones for transactions, there was no rule stating that Gold Coins couldn¡¯t be used.


    Themerce assembly manager, after learning about the identity of the person behind Long Yu, was clearly wary of thetter¡¯s status.


    However, it was normal for him to be fearful, as the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s influence was soaring mightily, expanding rapidly, and beginning to overshadow the Divine Dragon Imperial n.


    When themerce assembly disciple heard Yang Xiaotian¡¯s question, he hemmed and hawed, unable to reply at once.


    ¡°He¡¯s new here and is not yet familiar with themerce assembly¡¯s regtions,¡± themerce assembly manager said.


    Long Yuughed at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you might as well take your Gold Coins and scram out of the Xueluo Commerce Assembly. Let me tell you the truth: Gold Coins are trash in the Imperial Capital.¡±


    ¡°No matter how many Gold Coins you have, they are still trash.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯sughable that you consider yourself rich while holding a pile of trash.¡±


    Long Yu spoke loudly, his voice echoing throughout the hall.


    All the experts from the great families in the hall turned to look.


    ¡°Also, I have inquired that the Azure Dragon Residence is the only residence currently for sale in the Imperial Capital, so you and your subordinates might have to live on the streets for these next few days,¡± Long Yu said with a smile.


    ¡°I forgot to mention, in order to maintain public order, the Imperial Capital drives out vagrants at night, so when the timees, you won¡¯t even be able to sleep on the streets if you wanted to.¡±


    Long Yu¡¯sughter was arrogant.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at themerce assembly manager, ¡°In that case, if I can provide Spirit Stones, then the Azure Dragon Residence is mine, right?¡±


    Themerce assembly manager hesitated for a moment and eventually nodded, ¡°That¡¯s correct.¡±


    After all, Yang Xiaotian had arrived first.


    But he didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could produce that many low-grade Spirit Stones.


    Long Yu sneered, he didn¡¯t believe it either.


    Yang Xiaotian reached into his bosom for a while and pulled out more than a dozen Spirit Stones.


    As those dozen or so Spirit Stones were produced, the hall was instantly illuminated, the Spiritual Energy was like the sea, causing everyone¡¯s breath to catch.


    ¡°Top-grade Spirit Stones!¡± the crowd eximed in shock.


    The Spirit Stones in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand were indeed top-grade.


    Previously, he had killed Chen Lingyun and six others from the Mahayana Divine Sect.


    As a Saint Realm Elder of the Mahayana Divine Sect, Chen Lingyun naturally had wealth to his name, with several hundred top-grade Spirit Stones in his Space Ring.


    A high-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.


    Ten high-grade Spirit Stones are the same as one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.


    ¡°How could you have high-grade Spirit Stones!¡± Long Yu eximed in disbelief.


    High-grade Spirit Stones are extremely rare.


    Even for the son of his family, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, obtaining a high-grade Spirit Stone was very difficult.


    Yang Xiaotian, from a small family and academy, actually had so many high-grade Spirit Stones?


    Ignoring Long Yu¡¯s shock and surprise, Yang Xiaotian asked themerce assembly manager, ¡°Can we proceed with the paperwork now?¡±


    Before themerce assembly manager could speak, Long Yu angrily said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you really want to oppose our young master?¡±


    ¡°Oppose?¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°You¡¯re overestimating your young master.¡±


    Long Yu¡¯s face turned ugly, was Yang Xiaotian implying that his young master was not even worthy to be his opponent?


    ¡°Fine, Yang Xiaotian, I hope you won¡¯t regret this,¡± Long Yu said bitterly.


    In the end, themerce assembly manager finished the paperwork for Yang Xiaotian, and Long Yu left with his tail between his legs.


    As he walked away, Long Yu¡¯s gaze seemed as though it could melt iron.


    While themerce assembly manager was handling the paperwork for Yang Xiaotian, Long Xingtian and Zhu Xuan were drinking at the Green Lotus Tavern.


    The Green Lotus Tavern is the best tavern in the Imperial Capital; a pot of liquor costs tens of thousands of Gold Coins, not affordable for ordinary people.


    ¡°Long Yu, have you purchased the Azure Dragon Residence yet?¡± Long Xingtian said after downing a ss of fine wine.


    Zhu Xuan smiled and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Azure Dragon Residence has been on the market for several years with no buyers. Ten or more thousand low-grade Spirit Stones aren¡¯t something that amoner can produce.¡±


    No sooner had his words fallen than they saw Long Yu enter the tavern with an unsightly expression.


    Seeing Long Yu¡¯s face, Long Xingtian frowned, ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°It was Yang Xiaotian; he beat us to it and purchased the Azure Dragon Residence,¡± Long Yu didn¡¯t dare to hide anything and recounted the incident.


    ¡°Did Yang Xiaotian really say that?¡± Anger flickered in Long Xingtian¡¯s eyes.


    Long Yu hung his head, ¡°Yes, he said that the young master is not even fit to be his opponent.¡±


    ¡°Good, good!¡± Long Xingtian burst into furiousughter, his eyes shing coldly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I, Long Xingtian, am not fit to be your opponent!¡± and he crushed the wine pot in his hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright if we can¡¯t buy the Azure Dragon Residence; just purchase another mansion,¡± Long Xingtian said, trying to suppress his anger, to Long Yu.


    They certainly couldn¡¯t just sit in the tavern like this.


    Long Yu didn¡¯t dare meet Long Xingtian¡¯s gaze, ¡°Because of the uing Empire Pharmacist Competition, all other mansions have already been snapped up besides the Azure Dragon Residence.¡±


    But now, even the Azure Dragon Residence had been bought.


    Long Xingtian¡¯s face turned dark, ¡°Are you saying we have to sleep on the streets tonight?¡±


    Long Yu dared not respond.


    But the answer was obvious.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you insist on opposing me, huh? Wait until the Pharmacist Competition, and see if I don¡¯t crush you to death!¡± Long Xingtian spoke with deliberate emphasis.


    At that moment, Wang Zhou also learned that Yang Xiaotian had arrived in the Imperial Capital.


    ¡°This brat, he actually dares toe to the Imperial Capital!¡± Upon hearing the news, murderous intent filled Wang Zhou¡¯s eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian had killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao and still dared toe to the Imperial Capital brazenly. Was this a provocation to him?


    ¡°Master, shall we kill him now?¡± Wu You asked for instructions.

 Chapter 195 - 195 Green Lotus Sword Deity

    Chapter 195: Green Lotus Sword Deity


    ¡°No need,¡± Wang Zhou shook his head, ¡°Killing him within the Imperial Capital is tricky to exin.¡±


    After all, this was the Imperial Capital of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian had an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon by his side, which would lead to too much disturbance if they took action.


    ¡°We¡¯ll wait until the Empire¡¯s Pharmacist Contest is over. He¡¯ll have to leave the Imperial Capital eventually; then we can kill him without hurry.¡±


    After handling the procedures at themerce assembly, Yang Xiaotian and the others, holding the Azure Dragon Residence¡¯s jade que, arrived at Azure Dragon Residence.


    Gazing at the magnificent Azure Dragon Residence before them, everyone could hardly hide their amazement.


    Yang Xiaotian used the jade que to open the Azure Dragon Residence. When everyone entered, a gentle breeze of spiritual energy caressed their faces, refreshing their spirits.


    The residences in Tiandou Imperial City were indeed grand, but they were not on the same level as the one in front of them, the Azure Dragon Residence.


    The Azure Dragon Residence was expansive; it took Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and Yang Xiaotian quite some time to explore itpletely.


    Looking at the residence before them, which seemed like the dwelling of immortals, Yang Chao and Huang Ying felt as if they were in a dream.


    The two had never imagined that one day, they would live in such a grand residence in the Imperial Capital.


    Thinking back to over two years ago, the two were still scraping money together to buy a house in Xingyue City, and even finding more than a thousand gold was challenging.


    But now, they were living in such a grand residence in the Imperial Capital, with such rich spiritual energy and such luxurious decor.


    The two were filled with emotions.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and the others settled down in the Azure Dragon Residence.


    That night, Yang Xiaotian lit a big bonfire in the front courtyard, and over twenty people sat together, drinking and eating meat.


    The fragrance of the meat filled the air.


    The aroma of the wine was enchanting.


    Wu Qi took a sip of wine and smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I wonder if the young master has ever tasted the Green Lotus Liquor from the Green Lotus Tavern?¡±


    ¡°Oh, Green Lotus Liquor?¡± Yang Xiaotian was curious.


    Wu Qi nodded with a smile, ¡°The Green Lotus Tavern is thergest tavern in our Empire, and its Green Lotus Liquor is said to be the finest liquor in the Empire, albeit a bit pricey.¡±


    ¡°The Green Lotus Liquor is categorized into four grades ording to the year. The fourth grade Green Lotus Liquor is a bit cheaper, sold at ten thousand gold a pot.¡±


    ¡°The third grade Green Lotus Liquor costs fifty thousand gold a pot.¡±


    ¡°The second grade Green Lotus Liquor is expensive, costing one hundred thousand gold a pot. As for the first grade, it costs a million gold a pot.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Chao clicked his tongue, ¡°A million gold a pot!¡±


    Wu Qiughed, ¡°Although it¡¯s a million gold a pot, it¡¯s still in short supply. Plus, they only sell a hundred pots each day; once sold out, you can¡¯t buy anymore and have to wait until the next day.¡±


    He said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The Green Lotus Tavern has quite a reputation; it was established by Li Dong, the chief disciple of the Green Lotus Sword Deity.¡±


    ¡°The Green Lotus Sword Deity!¡± The crowd was startled.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity was the most legendary and top-tier powerhouse in the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Wu Qi said, ¡°Legend has it that when the Green Lotus Sword Deity was young, he was fortunate enough to receive pointers from Divine Master Hong Feng. Because of this, he was able to attain the status of a Sword Deity.¡±


    ¡°Master, is Divine Master Hong Feng not the number one powerhouse in the Martial Soul World?¡± Liu An asked with a face full of reverence.


    Wu Qi just smiled and didn¡¯t directly answer the question. He said, ¡°In previous Empire Pharmacist Contests, disciples from the Green Lotus Tavern have participated. In this Pharmacist Contest, there should also be participants from the Green Lotus Tavern.¡±


    He continued, ¡°In thest Empire Pharmacist Contest, Li Jianghu from the Green Lotus Tavern won the second ce. It is just unknown who from the Green Lotus Tavern will participate this time.¡±


    ¡°Li Jianghu,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    ¡°Yes, Li Jianghu is the grandson of the Senior Li Dong,¡± Wu Qi said, ¡°Li Jianghu¡¯s Martial Dao talent and Alchemy talent are both exceptional, on par with Fang Heng.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded. Since the Green Lotus Sword Deity was a nominal disciple of Divine Master Hong Feng, in terms of seniority, he would be the Deity¡¯s junior brother.


    The founder of Green Lotus Tavern, Li Dong, was his junior nephew!


    Li Honghu referred to the Green Lotus Sword Deity as Great Grandmaster.


    So what should they call him?


    The group chatted untilte into the night before dispersing.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in his own courtyard, lost in a myriad of thoughts.


    The night passed without incident.


    The next day, while Yang Xiaotian was practicing Thunderp Nine Heavens, Qingluo came in to report the information she had gathered.


    ¡°Young master, I¡¯ve found out. The Xueluo Commerce Assembly is auctioning off Sixth Realm Tribtion Thunder Water and only epts top-grade Spirit Stones for bidding,¡± Luo Qing said.


    ¡°Auctioning the Sixth Realm Tribtion Thunder Water and only top-grade Spirit Stones can be used for bidding?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    ¡°Yes, the starting bid is ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones,¡± Luo Qing continued with aplex expression.


    Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, what concept was that?


    Their current Azure Dragon Residence only had a dozen or so top-grade Spirit Stones.


    That amounted to nearly a thousand Azure Dragon Residences.


    And that was just the starting bid for the Sixth Realm Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Yang Xiaotian was equally astonished; he hadn¡¯t expected the starting bid to be ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.


    Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones were probably beyond the reach of a regr Supreme Sect of the Empire.


    Only the top ten Supreme Sects, like the Sky-Stepping Sect, Ancient Divine Pce, True Dragon Divine Sect, and Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, had the enormous wealth to afford it.


    ¡°What about the other items?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°For the other items, lower-grade Spirit Stones are needed,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°Oh, young master, this auction will also feature the True Dragon Bead.¡±


    True Dragon Bead!


    That was an unexpected piece of good news.


    If the Azure Thunder Python and the ck Flood Dragon King could obtain a True Dragon Bead, they might have a chance at ancestral reversal.


    Then, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s bloodline could evolve into a Super Divine Beast.


    And the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s bloodline could evolve into a Divine Beast.


    Soon after, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the Empire¡¯s Pharmacist Competition.


    ¡°This Empire Pharmacist Competition is open to all pharmacists below the Martial Venerable level,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°Disciples from the Empire¡¯s top ten Supreme Sects will participate.¡±


    ¡°Thepetition this time will be extremely fierce, with the most noteworthy contenders being Gu Shaozong from Ancient Divine Pce, Long Xingtian from Sky-Stepping Sect, Wu Chuang from Mahayana Divine Sect, Lan Yi from Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and Li Qianqian from Green Lotus Tavern.¡±


    ¡°Lan Yi!¡± Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected Lan Yi from Subduing Dragon Sword Sect to also participate in the Empire Pharmacist Competition.


    He could never forget the arrogance and disdain disyed by Jiu Wu and his apprentice Lan Yi when they looked down upon themon folk in Divine Sword City.


    ¡°Yes, Lan Yi, who possesses the Blue Lotus me, ranking tenth on the Abnormal Fire List,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°However, the most likely to win thepetition isn¡¯t Lan Yi, but Gu Shaozong from the Ancient Divine Pce.¡±


    ¡°Gu Shaozong possesses the Heaven Burning me, which is ranked seventh on the Abnormal Fire List.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian frowned, ¡°Heaven Burning me.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Gu Shaozong¡¯s talent in Alchemy is so high that even Grand Hall Master Shi Yongping has praised him,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°It¡¯s rumored that he has also obtained the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God.¡±


    The Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God was a legendary tome of Alchemy.


    ¡°The Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God,¡± Yang Xiaotian echoed thoughtfully and then asked, ¡°Is there any news about my sister?¡±

 Chapter 196: Reencountering Lan Yi

    Chapter 196: Reencountering Lan Yi


    ¡°I found out that the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect has taken the second youngdy as a disciple,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°The strange thing is, the True Dragon Divine Sect did not hold an apprenticeship ceremony.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t hold an apprenticeship ceremony?¡± Yang Xiaotian was stunned.


    Generally speaking, when the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect takes a disciple, it is a major event for the entire sect, and an apprenticeship ceremony is to be held.


    Luo Qing hesitated for a moment, then added, ¡°The Sect Master of the True Dragon Divine Sect has a daughter named Hu Yue, who¡¯s twelve years old, but her rtionship with the second youngdy doesn¡¯t seem to be very good.¡±


    ¡°Why is that?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure,¡± Luo Qing shook his head.


    ¡°Keep investigating, find out more,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    This concerned his sister, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it.


    Luo Qing agreed, bowed to Yang Xiaotian, and then withdrew.


    Yang Xiaotian practiced Thunderp Nine Heavens for a while, but he felt restless and anxious, as if something was going to happen, unable to calm his mind.


    So, Yang Xiaotian called everyone out for a walk.


    The moment Xiao Jin heard Yang Xiaotian mention going out for a walk, his eyes lit up, almost drooling.


    Seeing Xiao Jin¡¯s reaction, Yang Xiaotian smiled; he knew this fellow must have been longing for the super lollipops of the Imperial Capital.


    The group left the yard and made their way to the snack streets of the Imperial Capital.


    Located near the central area of the Imperial Capital, Azure Dragon Residence was conveniently ced, with the snack streets just two blocks away. As Yang Xiaotian and the others approached the snack streets, they saw arge crowd gathered ahead, buzzing with excitement.


    And from time to time, sounds of astonishment erupted.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on up ahead, why is it so lively?¡± Ajin tiptoed, craning his neck, and asked.


    Wu Qiughed, ¡°It¡¯s the Sword Dao Roulette.¡±


    ¡°Sword Dao Roulette?¡± The crowd was curious.


    Wu Qi exined, ¡°This Sword Dao Roulette is an ancient artifact, quite magical. Just input Sword Qi or strike it with a sword, and it will spin, then drop out items.¡±


    ¡°Some Sword Dao masters have input Sword Qi and gotten a book of Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power.¡±


    ¡°Some even managed to get a Heavenly Sword.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian and the others were astonished, ¡°A Heavenly Sword came out?¡±


    Heavenly Swords are hard to find, and getting one is tremendously difficult, but this Sword Dao Roulette could actually produce Heavenly Swords.


    Wu Qi continued, ¡°It sounds absurd, but indeed some have obtained Heavenly Swords from the Sword Dao Roulette, and not just one person, but several. More than two hundred years ago, the Great Elder Chi Yuan from the Sky-Stepping Sect acquired the Demon-ying Sword.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, ¡°The Demon-ying Sword!¡±


    Even Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected that Zhu Xuan¡¯s master Chi Yuan obtained the Demon-ying Sword.


    The Demon-ying Sword is the second-ranked Heavenly Sword.


    ¡°Indeed, the Demon-ying Sword,¡± Wu Qi nodded. ¡°After obtaining it, Chi Yuan practiced its sword technique, making great advancements in Sword Dao, sweeping through opponents of the same realm.¡±


    As he said this, he shifted the topic: ¡°However, after Chi Yuan, no one has obtained a Heavenly Sword from the Sword Dao Roulette in more than two hundred years.¡±


    ¡°Then, has anyone ever obtained a Divine Sword?¡± Xiao Jin suddenly asked.


    Wu Qi was taken aback, then shook his head, ¡°No.¡± He added, ¡°But people always suspect that there could be a Divine Sword in the Sword Dao Roulette, it¡¯s just that no one has obtained it yet.¡±


    Hearing this made everyone¡¯s heart flutter.


    The possibility of a Heavenly Sword dropping from the Sword Dao Roulette would excite anyone.


    ¡°Does it have to be a Sword Dao Genius to get good items from the Sword Dao Roulette?¡± Liao Kun asked.


    ¡°Theoretically, that is the case,¡± Wu Qi said. ¡°But there are always exceptions. Once, a disciple of mediocre cultivation, who had never practiced swordsmanship, obtained a Swordsmanship Divine Ability from the Sword Dao Roulette.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone was even more eager to try.


    ¡°However, this Sword Dao Roulette doesn¡¯t spin for free. One spin requires a payment of 10,000 gold,¡± Wu Qi said.


    ¡°A spin costs 10,000 gold!¡± Xiao Jin¡¯s eyes widened, and he thought about how many candies that much gold could buy.


    Wu Qi chuckled, ¡°Exactly, one must pay 10,000 gold or a lower-grade Spirit Stone. This is what the Divine Dragon Empire charges. If it were free, the queue would probably stretch out of the city every day.¡±


    Even though one spin of the Sword Dao Roulette cost 10,000 gold, Yang Xiaotian still wanted to give it a try.


    To see what he could obtain from the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian led the group toward the crowd.


    The crowd was huge, forming rings tenyers deep. After much effort, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions finally squeezed their way to the front of the Sword Dao Roulette.


    The Sword Dao Roulette was enormous, hovering in midair, two people tall, and etched with hundreds of Sword Talismans that emanated a mysterious aura, orderly arranged upon the wheel.


    The roulette had ten sword patterns in total, these ten sword patterns dividing the Sword Dao Roulette into ten areas.


    Wu Qi told Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master, the Sword Dao Roulette has ten areas in total. The first area is at the very center, and the tenth area is on the outermost edge. The more central the area, the better the prizes that drop.¡±


    ¡°In the past, the Heavenly Sword has always dropped from the third area.¡±


    The third area yielded the Heavenly Sword.


    ¡°What about the second and the first areas then?¡± Luo Qing couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Wu Qi shook his head, ¡°From ancient times to now, no one has managed to activate the second and the first areas.¡±


    The crowd was surprised.


    Stepping forward, Yang Xiaotian paid the 10,000 gold. Just as he was about to unleash the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart and strike the Sword Dao Roulette, amotion erupted from the crowd.


    ¡°Experts from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect are here!¡±


    The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect!


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions looked over and saw the densely packed crowd parting like water, making way for a group of experts d in the battle robes of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples.


    The robes of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were unmistakable, each chest adorned with the image of a in Divine Dragon.


    Very eye-catching.


    At the forefront was a young man with a proud carriage and an arrogant demeanor, none other than Lan Yi whom Yang Xiaotian had previously encountered.


    With a dragon¡¯s stride and a tiger¡¯s poise, Lan Yi was brimming with arrogance, a powerful presence radiating from him.


    Feeling the powerful aura of Lan Yi, the surrounding people involuntarily took a step back.


    ¡°Make way! Our Brother Lan is about to spin the Sword Dao Roulette!¡± The disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect saw Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and the others obstructing the front of the roulette and scolded them.


    After saying this, they attempted to push Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and the rest aside.


    ¡°Our young master has already paid,¡± Liao Kun interjected, ¡°There is an order to everything, a firste, first-served basis.¡±


    One of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples heard this, nced at Yang Xiaotian and Liao Kun, and scoffed, ¡°You mere King Realm cultivators, even having paid, can¡¯t spin anything of worth. You¡¯re just wasting time.¡± Then he shouted, ¡°Now move aside for our Brother Lan!¡±


    Lan Yi, however, stretched out a hand to stop the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciple, looking at Yang Xiaotian with the same arrogance as before, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I really didn¡¯t expect to see you in the Imperial Capital.¡±


    Seeing Lan Yi¡¯s arrogant demeanor just as before, Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, ¡°If you cane to the Imperial Capital, why can¡¯t I?¡±


    At that, Lan Yi seemed surprised, and looking Yang Xiaotian up and down, heughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t think that having an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast gives you the confidence and qualification to talk to me like this.¡±


    ¡°In my eyes, you are no different from before, still just a tiny ant.

 Chapter 197 - 197 Spin the Sword Dao Roulette

    Chapter 197: Spin the Sword Dao Roulette


    Xiao Jin, Luo Qing, and the others upon hearing this, could not help but glower with anger.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Lan Yi and said, ¡°In your eyes, I am a mere ant, but in mine, aren¡¯t you the same?¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, what did you say?!¡± The disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, upon hearing this, all pointed at Yang Xiaotian in anger.


    Lan Yi was a Direct Disciple of the venerable Jiu Wu of their Subduing Dragon Sword Sect ¨C what a status to hold! Yet Yang Xiaotian dared to speak to their Brother Lan in such a manner.


    Just as the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect¡¯s disciples were furiously indignant, Lan Yi coolly stared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Just because you have an Emperor Realm beast, you think you¡¯re qualified to challenge our Subduing Dragon Sword Sect? You truly do not know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, ¡°Whether I am qualified is not for you to worry about; however, you do not represent the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.¡±


    Lan Yi snorted disdainfully and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, since you¡¯vee to spin the Sword Dao Roulette as well, let¡¯s see who does better. If one of us loses, that person will leave the Imperial Capital. How about it?¡±


    ¡°How shall wepare?¡± Yang Xiaotian nced at the Sword Dao Roulette and asked.


    Lan Yi said, ¡°If I activate the third zone, and you activate the fourth or fifth zone, I win!¡± Then he added, ¡°If we activate the same zone, we¡¯ll see whose item is better!¡±


    ¡°Fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered briefly and agreed.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian ept the challenge, Lan Yi smiled coldly.


    He knew Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent was exceptional, and he had even formed four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, but he had formed five Sword Hearts!


    One more Sword Heart than Yang Xiaotian!


    Moreover, the Sword Heart he formed was also among the strongest.


    Lan Yi took a few steps forward, arriving in front of the Sword Dao Roulette and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go first. You don¡¯t mind, right?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and stepped aside.


    It made no difference who went first; moreover, he wanted to see how Lan Yi operated the Sword Dao Roulette to be better prepared when it was his turn.


    All eyes were now on Lan Yi.


    Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Lan Yi drew a sword wrapped entirely in darkness.


    The moment the sword appeared, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.


    It was bright and sunny just a moment before, but all the sunlight seemed to have vanished, as if absorbed by the de of the sword.


    This sword, as if it came from a Dark World.


    ¡°The Dark Sword!¡± Everyone eximed in shock upon seeing the sword in Lan Yi¡¯s hand.


    The Dark Sword was ranked tenth on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.


    The top ten Heavenly Swords, each with the power to awe the world.


    Lan Yi had actually acquired the Dark Sword!


    ¡°Indeed, the Dark Sword.¡± Lan Yi appeared haughty and could not conceal his pride as he caressed the de, ¡°Half a year ago, I ventured into the Abyss of Darkness, faced life and death, and finally obtained this sword.¡±


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you didn¡¯t expect this, did you?¡±


    ¡°I have the Dark Sword!¡±


    Spinning the Sword Dao Roulette is, in no small part, rted to the sword one holds.


    Saying this, he suddenly spurred the power of his five Sword Hearts.


    The Dark Sword emitted an astonishing dark glow.


    A pir of dark light shot up into the sky, formed by strands of dark luminescence, rming many experts throughout the Imperial Capital.


    Inside the Imperial Pce of the Imperial Capital, Long Lan looked at the pir of dark light in surprise, ¡°The Dark Sword!¡±


    Immediately, he ordered his subordinates to check who had acquired the Dark Sword!


    The Dark Sword, being one of the top ten Heavenly Swords, its emergence was a significant event.


    At that moment, Lan Yi spurred the power of his five Sword Hearts, his whole body flickering with darkness.


    ¡°Five Phantom God Sword Hearts!¡±


    The crowd around, including many experts, was taken aback.


    The Phantom God Sword Heart, like the Nine-Colored Sword Heart, was one of the strongest.


    Phantom God Sword Heart, huh?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    That Lan Yi could tame the Dark Sword suggested he used the power of the Phantom God Sword Heart.


    If one were to delve into darkness, leveraging the power of Dark Power, the Phantom God Sword Heart¡¯s strength would be even greater.


    Just as everyone was astonished, Lan Yi, wielding the Dark Sword, suddenly shed at the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Layers of Sword Qi shot towards the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Amidst the Sword Qi, there was a Blood Sea churning.


    ¡°Blood Sea Sword Technique!¡±


    The Blood Sea Sword Technique was the supreme Swordsmanship Divine Ability of the Blood Sea God Sect.


    However, hundreds of years ago, it was annihted by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.


    Lan Yi¡¯s Blood Sea Sword Technique had reached the realm of Summit Mastery.


    The Blood Sea Sword Qi, carrying the rolling Dark Power, bombarded the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Thud!


    The Sword Dao Roulette emitted a dull sound.


    Although the sound wasn¡¯t loud, it clearly reached everyone¡¯s ears.


    ¡°There¡¯s a sound! Last time Elder Chi Yuan struck the Sword Dao Roulette, it made the same noise, and in the end, he obtained the Demon-ying Sword!¡± The crowd eximed in astonishment, seeing that Lan Yi had actually made the Sword Dao Roulette ring.


    Over the years, very few people had managed to make the Sword Dao Roulette ring.


    Generally speaking, as long as one could make it ring, what they ended up receiving was usually quite impressive.


    Thest person who made the Sword Dao Roulette ring was the Great Elder Chi Yuan of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    And Chi Yuan received the Demon-ying Sword.


    Seeing that Lan Yi had made the Sword Dao Roulette ring, the disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were excited and overjoyed.


    ¡°Elder Brother Lan has made the Sword Dao Roulette ring! He can definitely get a Heavenly Sword just like Elder Chi Yuan did!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it might even be one of the top ten Heavenly Swords!¡±


    No wonder these disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were so excited; it had been over two hundred years since anyone had managed to receive a Heavenly Sword from the Sword Dao Roulette.


    If Lan Yi could obtain a Heavenly Sword, it would undoubtedly be a shocking event for the entire Divine Dragon Empire.


    Lan Yi himself was also overjoyed to have made the Sword Dao Roulette ring.


    Overflowing with joy, he stared expectantly at the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Under the bombardment of Lan Yi¡¯s Sword Dao power, the Sword Dao Roulette began to spin, and his Sword Dao power surged into the tenth zone of the roulette.


    Then, with an unstoppable momentum, it broke through into the ninth zone.


    In the blink of an eye, it had burst into the eighth zone.


    Everyone was staring intently at the Sword Dao Roulette.


    ¡°The seventh zone now!¡±


    ¡°The sixth zone!¡±


    The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect¡¯s disciples watched as Lan Yi¡¯s Sword Dao power rushed into the sixth zone with astonishing speed, all of them nervous and extremely excited.


    Given this pace, there was a ny-nine percent chance that Lan Yi¡¯s Sword Dao power could break into the third zone and activate it.


    Quickly, Lan Yi¡¯s Sword Dao power smashed through the fifth zone, entering the fourth zone.


    As Lan Yi¡¯s Sword Dao power entered the fourth zone, everyone held their breath, afraid to miss even a second.


    ¡°Buzz!¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Lan Yi¡¯s Sword Dao power finally broke through the fourth zone and moved into the third zone.


    It eventually stopped in the third zone.


    Light surged within the third zone of the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Seeing this, all of the disciples from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect couldn¡¯t help but cheer in unison.


    ¡°Elder Brother Lan has activated the third zone!¡±


    The experts from the other Sects were also thrilled.


    After so many years, someone had finally activated the third zone of the Sword Dao Roulette once again.


    And they were witnessing this miracle with their own eyes.


    Wu Qi and Luo Qing, among others, felt a jolt in their hearts seeing that Lan Yi had activated the third zone.


    In the midst of Lan Yi¡¯s and the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples¡¯ excitement, an object flew out from the third zone of the Sword Dao Roulette.

 Chapter 198: Activating the Second Zone

    Chapter 198: Activating the Second Zone


    Seeing what flew out from the Sword Dao Roulette, everyone was stunned.


    What came out was neither a Heavenly Sword nor any Swordsmanship Manuals.


    It was a piece of iron!


    A chunk of dark and unremarkable ck Iron.


    ¡°Dark Abyssal Iron!¡± Some Artifact Refiners around recognized the metal and were astonished.


    Dark Abyssal Iron was a main material for refining Heavenly Swords.


    The disciples of Subduing Dragon Sword Sect stopped theirughter, excitement vanishing from their faces.


    Lan Yi¡¯s expression turned even uglier.


    Although Dark Abyssal Iron was a main material for refining Heavenly Swords, it was just a piece of iron, after all. It wasn¡¯t a Heavenly Sword, and even the lowest-ranked Heavenly Sword was hundreds of times better than it.


    Damn it!


    He couldn¡¯t help but curse inwardly.


    Like Chi Yuan, he had struck the Sword Dao Roulette and had activated the third zone, yet Chi Yuan received the Demon-ying Sword while he ended up with a mere worthless piece of Dark Abyssal Iron.


    Holding the Dark Abyssal Iron in his hand, he even felt the urge to throw it away.


    Struggling to suppress the anger within, he said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, it¡¯s your turn now.¡±


    No matter what, he had activated the third zone.


    He didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could also activate the third zone.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I activated the third zone. If you can¡¯t activate the third zone, then you must leave the Imperial Capital now!¡± Having received the Dark Abyssal Iron and feeling very upset, Lan Yi red fiercely at Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin licked a lollipop he had bought earlier in Tiandou Imperial City, ¡°Has anyone ever told you that the thing in your hand looks like a lump of poo.¡±


    Poo!


    Lan Yi reflexively tossed the Dark Abyssal Iron out of his hand.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help butugh.


    Lan Yi, humiliated and furious, red at Xiao Jin with murderous intent.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t engage in a war of words with his opponent, but instead approached the Sword Dao Roulette and took out a sword full of cracks.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian pull out a broken sword, a disciple from Subduing Dragon Sword Sectughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even have a sword. Here, take mine. I just found it on the road. It¡¯s for you to use!¡±


    The disciple of Subduing Dragon Sword Sectughed.


    But Lan Yi was staring at the broken sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand with a face full of amazement, ¡°Burying Heaven Sword!¡±


    Burying Heaven Sword!


    As soon as Lan Yi spoke, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.


    Everyone was shocked.


    Was the broken sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand actually the Burying Heaven Sword, the first among the top ten Heavenly Swords on the Heavenly Sword Ranking?


    The disciple from Subduing Dragon Sword Sect hesitated, ¡°Even if it¡¯s the Burying Heaven Sword, it¡¯s still a broken sword.¡±


    But no one responded to him.


    Even though it was broken, the Burying Heaven Sword was still the Burying Heaven Sword!


    It was still the number one Heavenly Sword!


    It was like a once Divine Spirit ¡ª even in a damaged state, it was still a Divine Spirit, beyond anyparison with those in the Saint Realm.


    Holding the Burying Heaven Sword, Yang Xiaotian activated the power of his five Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    Instantly, his body radiated with nine-colored brilliance, and the supreme power of the Nine-Colored Sword Hearts astonished those around him.


    ¡°Five Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± Lan Yi said, stunned as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian, like him, had actually condensed out five Sword Hearts!


    The disciples of Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were also shocked.


    Lan Yi, as Ancestor Jiu Wu¡¯s Direct Disciple, could condense out five Sword Hearts, which was enough to dwarf the younger generation of Subduing Dragon Sword Sect. Yet the young Yang Xiaotian, from a lesser kingdom¡¯s minor academy¡­


    Had also condensed out five of the Strongest Sword Hearts!


    Under the power infusion of the five Sword Hearts, the Burying Heaven Sword¡¯s de finally began to glow. In that moment, it seemed as if the Burying Heaven Sword had regained its former brilliance.


    The intensity of the sword¡¯s glow sent chills through the hearts of everyone present.


    Hum!


    Yang Xiaotian swung his sword.


    He pushed the Burying Heaven Sword Technique to its absolute heights, achieving Summit Mastery.


    A sword was unleashed!


    It seemed as though it could bury heaven and earth.


    Under this sword, everyone felt as tiny as ants.


    Boom!


    The Sword Dao Roulette trembled violently with a sound like thunder.


    Everyone¡¯s eardrums buzzed.


    Lan Yi was shocked.


    He saw the Sword Dao Roulette begin to spin, and its speed was noticeably faster than when Lan Yi had activated it. Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Burying Heaven Sword¡¯s Sword Dao power was unstoppable, breaking through one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed to the fourth area.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao power reach the fourth area so quickly, everyone¡¯s breath tightened.


    ¡°Buzz!¡±


    The third area lit up.


    And its radiance was even more dazzling than Lan Yi¡¯s.


    Lan Yi and the disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were deeply shaken.


    But it didn¡¯t stop there, as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao power continued to advance into the second area.


    The second area trembled with light.


    The entire Sword Dao Roulette emitted a terrifying light, illuminating the surrounding streets as if it were pr day.


    ¡°The second area!¡± The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples were dumbfounded.


    In the incredulous eyes of Lan Yi and the others, an item flew out from the second area.


    As the item flew out, nature¡¯s spiritual energy surged wildly.


    ¡°Innate Sword Spirit!¡± someone in the crowd eximed.


    Indeed, what flew out was an Innate Sword Spirit, and not just any, but a top-quality Innate Sword Spirit.


    Yang Xiaotian caught the top-quality Innate Sword Spirit that flew out and, besides being pleasantly surprised, felt somewhat regretful, ¡°It¡¯s a pity it has no attribute.¡±


    Although the present Innate Sword Spirit was top-quality,pared to the three from the Thunder God Cave, it was stillcking; after all, those three had lightning attributes, while this one had none.


    People saw Yang Xiaotian disdaining the top-quality Innate Sword Spirit in his hand for having no attribute, and for a moment, it was as if ten thousand horses were trampling through their hearts.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost!¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Lan Yi, ¡°Now you can roll!¡±


    Lan Yi¡¯s face turned ugly, he said, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll leave.¡± After speaking, he tried to leave with the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples.


    ¡°I said roll!¡± Seeing Lan Yi trying to leave just like that, Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    Lan Yi was furious, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t push your luck!¡±


    Just as Lan Yi finished speaking, the mountain-like ck Flood Dragon King appeared behind Yang Xiaotian. With a sweep of its colossal tail, Lan Yi¡¯s face changed color, wanting to dodge, but how could he, a mere Emperor Realm, evade an attack from the ck Flood Dragon King at the peak of the Emperor Realm?


    He was struck by the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s tail in an instant.


    Lan Yi rolled down the street like a ball on the ground, flying out all the way.


    Amidst the startled cries and dodging of passersby, he kept rolling until he was out of the Imperial Capital¡¯s city gates.


    Seeing the ck Flood Dragon King, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples fled in terror and confusion.


    Ignoring the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciples, Yang Xiaotian turned to the Sword Dao Roulette and asked Wu Qi, ¡°Elder Wu, has anyone ever activated the Sword Dao Roulette more than once?¡±


    Wu Qi was stunned, realizing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to continue spinning the Sword Dao Roulette to see if he could get a second Innate Sword Spirit. He said with a wry smile, ¡°Young master, this Sword Dao Roulette can only be spun once by anyone. The same person¡¯s power will not elicit any response from the Sword Dao Roulette a second time.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was somewhat disappointed.


    Afterward, he paid the fee, allowing others to spin it too, but no one obtained anything substantial.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian could only leave the scene with everyone else.


    After buying candies for Xiao Jin, they strolled for a while longer before returning to Azure Dragon Residence.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian returned to Azure Dragon Residence, news had spread throughout the Imperial Capital that Yang Xiaotian had activated the Sword Dao Roulette¡¯s second area and obtained a top-quality Innate Sword Spirit.


    Gu Shaozong of the Ancient Divine Pce also received the news.


    ¡°What? That Yang Xiaotian got a top-quality Innate Sword Spirit!¡± He was overjoyed.


    These days, he had been eagerly searching for an Innate Sword Spirit.


    It was extremely important to him.


    Especially a top-quality Innate Sword Spirit.


    ¡°Yes, young master, Yang Xiaotian obtained a top-quality Innate Sword Spirit from the Sword Dao Roulette,¡± his subordinate answered respectfully, then hesitated, ¡°It¡¯s just that it might be exceedingly difficult for the young master to get that top-quality Innate Sword Spirit from Yang Xiaotian.¡±

 Chapter 199: Must Take First Place?

    Chapter 199: Must Take First ce?


    Gu Shaozong nodded. He also knew that it would be difficult to convince Yang Xiaotian to give up the supreme Innate Sword Spirit.


    After all, it was a supreme Innate Sword Spirit.


    ¡°However, everything has a price, even the supreme Innate Sword Spirit,¡± Gu Shaozong said confidently. ¡°As long as what I offer is of equal value to the supreme Innate Sword Spirit, I believe Yang Xiaotian will make the exchange.¡±


    Momentster, Gu Shaozong, with a group of subordinates, headed towards Xiaotian¡¯s Azure Dragon Residence.


    So, not long after Xiaotian returned to the Azure Dragon Residence, Gu Shaozong and his subordinates also arrived.


    ¡°Gu Shaozong of the Ancient Divine Pce is outside asking to see you?¡± Xiaotian was about to assimte the Innate Sword Spirit when he heard Luo Qinge in to report.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°He brought quite a few people with him. It looks like they¡¯re here to see the young master.¡±


    ¡°Bring them in,¡± Xiaotian said after thinking it over.


    He had just arrived in the hall when he saw Luo Qing leading Gu Shaozong and his group inside.


    Gu Shaozong was very handsome and tall. His movements were swift, giving off an oppressive aura.


    Gu Shaozong possessed one of the ten ancient bloodlines, the Roc Bloodline.


    The Roc Bloodline was stronger than Guo Wei¡¯s Ancient Dragon God Bloodline, and the oppressive feeling came from his Roc Bloodline.


    Gu Shaozong was very polite when he met Xiaotian. He exchanged a few cordial words with Xiaotian and after sitting down, he got straight to the point.


    ¡°Oh, you want to exchange something for my Innate Sword Spirit?¡± Xiaotian said impassively after hearing the purpose of the visit.


    Gu Shaozong smiled and said, ¡°Correct. I have been searching for an Innate Sword Spirit for many days. It¡¯s extremely important to me. I hope Brother Yang can part with it. If Brother Yang is willing to do so, I would be immensely grateful.¡±


    ¡°I know the supreme Innate Sword Spirit is a treasure. I have some treasures here as well; Brother Yang, feel free to take whatever you like.¡±


    As he spoke, he took out three items.


    The first item was a gigantic egg.


    The second item was arge, supreme-quality Spirit Stone.


    The third item was an ancient book.


    Gu Shaozong exined, ¡°This gigantic egg is the egg of an Ancient Roc, and it was left by the Ancient Roc Master.¡± Then he pointed to a Spirit Stone as tall as a person and said, ¡°This supreme-quality Spirit Stone contains innate lightning energy. It¡¯s the only one in the entire Divine Dragon Empire.¡±


    ¡°This ancient book is the Roc Technique created by the Ancient Roc Master!¡±


    Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and the others standing behind Xiaotian were all deeply shaken by Gu Shaozong¡¯s introduction.


    The three items presented by Gu Shaozong were each capable of causing a stir across the Empire.


    The Roc Egg, already a rarity, was as precious as a True Dragon Egg, especially since it was left by the Ancient Roc Master.


    Once this Roc Egg hatches, it might possess the bloodline of the Roc Master. If it grows up, it will be a Super Divine Beast.


    As for that supreme-quality Spirit Stone, it goes without saying that a fist-sized supreme-quality Spirit Stone would be considered a treasure by many Supreme Sects. One as tall as a person and containing innate lightning energy was certainly a rare find.


    The Roc Technique, created by the Ancient Roc Master, was no less valuable than the previous two items.


    Xiaotian looked at the three items yet remained expressionless and shook his head, ¡°These three items are treasures, Gu Shaozong, but I do not need them.¡±


    Hatching the Roc Egg could take many years, and if one waited for the Roc to grow, it might take thousands of years.


    Although the supreme-quality Spirit Stone was a treasure, he already possessed the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein.


    Regarding the Roc Technique, he needed it even less, for his Primordial Dragon Art was a hundred times better.


    Gu Shaozong, seeing that Yang Xiaotian was uninterested in the three items rted to the Ancient Roc Egg, gritted his teeth and took out the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God: ¡°This is the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God I¡¯ve obtained.¡±


    ¡°I believe Brother Yang also knows what the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God is. It can be said to be the most legendary Alchemy book within our Empire Medicine Realm, created by the Medicine God himself.¡±


    He took a deep breath: ¡°This Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God has condensed the lifelong efforts of our ancestor, the Medicine God, and it contains various alchemical techniques and ancient pill recipes.¡±


    ¡°It even includes three of the top ten alchemy techniques.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Yang is willing to let me have that Innate Sword Spirit, this Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God is yours.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected that Gu Shaozong would actually be willing to trade the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God for his Innate Sword Spirit.


    The Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God was created by Su Dan, the Medicine God of the Divine Dragon Empire thousands of years ago.


    Su Dan was also the only Medicine God since the founding of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    The Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God is a treasure that all pharmacists in the Divine Dragon Empire dream of obtaining.


    Just the three alchemy techniques from the top ten contained within the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God were enough to drive the pharmacists of the Divine Dragon Empire mad.


    But Yang Xiaotian still shook his head: ¡°Indeed, the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God is the most legendary Alchemy book in our Empire, but I do not need it.¡±


    The Alchemy books left in Hong Feng¡¯s cave abode were no less than the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God.


    Of the top ten alchemy techniques, he had already mastered five.


    He simply did not need this Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God.


    Gu Shaozong, seeing that Yang Xiaotian had not even thought about it before refusing him, felt a frown forming on his previously confident face.


    He hesitated for a moment, and then said, ¡°If Brother Yang is willing to let me have the Innate Sword Spirit, I will give you all four of these treasures.¡±


    Wu Qi and Luo Qing were shocked.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head. ¡°I do not need these four items, and I equally need the Innate Sword Spirit right now, so I will not trade.¡±


    An expert behind Gu Shaozong couldn¡¯t help but say angrily, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t be too excessive! Our young master has already shown enough sincerity by offering these four treasures in exchange!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, what kind of status does our young master have? He came to visit you personally to discuss this, which is already giving you enough face!¡±


    Gu Shaozong, sitting there, did not stop his subordinate. Clearly, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s repeated refusals had already irked him.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Gu Shaozong and said indifferently, ¡°In your eyes, these four items of the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God are treasures, but in my eyes, they are nothing but garbage.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the experts behind Gu Shaozong were all enraged.


    Even Gu Shaozong¡¯s face darkened.


    ¡°What did you say!¡± exploded the expert behind Gu Shaozong in fury.


    Gu Shaozong raised his hand, stopping his subordinate, and looked steadily at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°I must win first ce in this Empire Pharmacist Competition! At that time, I will be the sessor to the Empire Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    ¡°Young Master Yang, do you really want to offend me over a mere Innate Sword Spirit?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Gu Shaozong and smiled, ¡°You must win first ce in this Empire Pharmacist Competition?¡±


    Gu Shaozong said calmly, ¡°Correct.¡± His tone was filled with immense self-confidence.


    Even Shi Yongping, the Grand Hall Master of Pharmacists, had praised his talent for alchemy. He was confident that, when it came to alchemy, no one among the younger generation couldpare to him.


    He shook his head at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Offending me now is not a wise move, Young Master Yang. Once I take over the Empire Pharmacist Hall, you might find no ce for yourself within the Empire¡¯s circle of pharmacists.¡±

 Chapter 200: Revoking Yang Xiaotian’s Pharmacist License?

    Chapter 200: Revoking Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Pharmacist License?


    In the Empire¡¯s Pharmacistmunity, I have no footing!


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s words were an unmistakable threat.


    Behind Yang Xiaotian, light surged, and the ck Flood Dragon King emerged.


    Sensing the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s daunting and prison-like aura, Gu Shaozong and the others¡¯ faces changed.


    ¡°You are not wee here,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly to the other party.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian outright order him to leave, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face darkened, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you had better think this through carefully. If I inherit the Empire Pharmacist Hall¡­¡±


    Yang Xiaotian immediately interrupted, ¡°Talk about it after you have inherited the Empire Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s face turned ugly. He nced at the ck Flood Dragon King behind Yang Xiaotian, suppressed the rage in his heart, and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I hope you won¡¯t regret thister.¡±


    After speaking, he packed away the Pharmacopoeia of the Medicine God, the Roc¡¯s egg, and the other four items and left with his followers.


    Once Gu Shaozong had left, Luo Qing said angrily, ¡°This Gu Shaozong really thinks he can 100% win first ce in this Pharmacistpetition!¡±


    Wu Qi, however, did not speak.


    He knew Luo Qing believed their young master would take first ce in this Empire¡¯s Pharmacistpetition, but thinking of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation, Wu Qi silently sighed.


    This time, at the Empire Pharmacistpetition, almost all the disciples from the Supreme Sects participating were at the Emperor Realm.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t even a Martial Ancestor. Compared to Gu Shaozong, Zhu Xuan, and others, his strength was far toocking.


    Even if Yang Xiaotian¡¯s natural talent in Alchemy was extraordinarily high, winning against Gu Shaozong, Zhu Xuan, and others would be difficult¡ªharder than ascending to the heavens!


    Elixirs are graded from low to high as Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Innate Spirit Pill, Treasure Pill, and above Treasure Pill is the Profound Pill.


    Unless Yang Xiaotian could refine a Profound Pill, it would be impossible for him to win against Gu Shaozong and the others.


    However, only those above Martial Ancestors could refine a Profound Pill, and Yang Xiaotian was not even a Martial Ancestor¡ªhow could he possibly refine a Profound Level elixir?


    After Gu Shaozong left the Azure Dragon Residence with his followers, the more he thought about how Yang Xiaotian had repeatedly rejected him and driven him out, the colder his face became.


    ¡°Once I take over the Empire Pharmacist Hall, I will definitely revoke Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Pharmacist status!¡± Gu Shaozong looked back at the Azure Dragon Residence and said fiercely.


    Once he inherits the Empire Pharmacist Hall, he will have the authority to revoke the status of any three-star Pharmacist and those below within the Empire.


    If Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Pharmacist status is revoked, it would be an immense disgrace. By then, the news will reach the Divine Sea Kingdom, shaving shame on the entire Kingdom, and Yang Xiaotian will be theughingstock of others for life.


    ¡°Young Master, what about the Innate Sword Spirit?¡± his follower asked cautiously.


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s face turned grim as he said, ¡°Look into others.¡±


    The one in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, he had no hopes of acquiring now.


    After tonight, Yang Xiaotian would have definitely refined the Innate Sword Spirit, and it would be impossible for him to take it even if he wanted toter.


    He could only look into other leads.


    ¡°Use every possible method, every power at our disposal, to gather news about the Innate Sword Spirit!¡± Gu Shaozongmanded in fury, ¡°I¡¯m giving you three more months. If I don¡¯t get the Innate Sword Spirit by then, you know the consequences!¡±


    His followers nodded obediently.


    After Gu Shaozong had left, Yang Xiaotian began to browse through Hong Feng¡¯s cave dwelling for secret Alchemy techniques.


    He remembered that he had once seen an alchemical book which mentioned that it was possible to refine pills across realms.


    Today, he took out the book again and scrutinized it carefully.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly finished reading.


    ording to the book, to refine a Profound Level elixir at the Martial King Realm, one must meet four conditions: first, the True Yuan must be extremely robust,parable to the Martial Ancestor Realm.


    Second, one must possess one of the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    Third, one¡¯s soul perception has to far exceed those within the same realm.


    Fourth, master extraordinarily advanced alchemy techniques, using two such techniques at the same time to concoct elixirs.


    Each of these four conditions is extremely stringent.


    To fulfill all four conditions simultaneously, it is feared that not even a handful of individuals could be found in a million years.


    However, having cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art and constantly consumed Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Yuan had be so profound that it surpassed many Martial Ancestors at both the first and even second level.


    He possessed one of the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    The sensitivity of his soul had been growing continuously over thest two years, and it was now stronger than that of many four-star Pharmacists.


    As for advanced alchemy techniques, he didn¡¯tck any¡ªhe had already mastered five out of the ten major alchemy methods.


    The only thing he was missing now was how to use two alchemy methods at the same time to concoct elixirs.


    He had always used a single method in his alchemy practice. He had truly never tried concocting with two different methods at once, because of the extreme difficulty involved.


    It was ten times more difficult than using just one method.


    With less than ten days left until the Pharmacist Competition, he needed to hurry and practice.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian practiced using two methods at the same time to concoct elixirs during the day, while at night, he refined the Innate Sword Spirit.


    One day, while Yang Xiaotian was practicing alchemy, Luo Qing came in to report that the experts from the True Dragon Divine Sect had already arrived at the Imperial Capital.


    ¡°Oh, who hase, and is my sister among them?¡± Yang Xiaotian quickly asked.


    ¡°The Second Miss did note. The Old Ancestor from the True Dragon Divine Sect, Liang Yafei, hase, and so has his disciple Zhu Miaomiao. Zhu Miaomiao is here to participate in this edition of the Empire Pharmacist Competition,¡± Luo Qing replied. ¡°Zhu Miaomiao has the highest alchemy level among the young generation of the True Dragon Divine Sect.¡±


    Pausing for a moment, he continued, ¡°Zhu Miaomiao and Zhu Xuan are both from the Zhu Family, with Zhu Miaomiao being Zhu Xuan¡¯s cousin.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    In recent days, he had also learned about the various powers within the Empire.


    There were many powerful ancient families within the Empire, like the Long Family, Tian Family, Zhu Family, Zhang Family, Gu Family¡ªall of which hadplex and intertwined influences.


    Among the Empire¡¯s ten Supreme Sects, there were quite a few disciples from these ancient families.


    While Luo Qing was reporting to Yang Xiaotian, Zhu Xuan was sitting in Zhu Miaomiao¡¯s courtyard, smiling and asking her, ¡°How is the matter I discussed with youst time progressing?¡±


    Shaking her head, Zhu Miaomiao said, ¡°Yang Ling¡¯er is now the personal disciple of our Sect Master. Her affairs are not something my master can decide. My master said that after the Empire Pharmacist Competition is over, he will discuss this matter with the elders.¡±


    Zhu Xuan smiled and said, ¡°If this matter can be sessfully resolved, my master and I will certainly express our gratitude to my sister.¡±


    ¡°If this matter seeds, it will be beneficial for both the True Dragon Divine Sect and the Sky-Stepping Sect. There¡¯s no need to thank me,¡± Zhu Miaomiao replied.


    This matter would be beneficial for both the True Dragon Divine Sect and the Sky-Stepping Sect, but that might not be the case for Yang Ling¡¯er.


    ¡°But Yang Ling¡¯er may not be willing,¡± said Zhu Xuan.


    ¡°Not willing?¡± Zhu Miaomiao scoffed. ¡°This is a significant matter for the sect. If the elders and the Sect Master agree, it¡¯s not up to her to decide if she¡¯s willing.¡±


    ¡°Even if she¡¯s not willing, she will have to be!¡±


    As the Empire Pharmacist Competition approached, forces from various parts of the Empire converged on the Imperial Capital, making it exceptionally bustling.


    On the eve of the Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian finally fully refined the exceptional Innate Sword Spirit.


    With the help of this Innate Sword Spirit, he brought his mastery of three Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery level.


    Adding those to the previous eleven, he now had mastered fourteen.


    It was just a pity that this time refining the Innate Sword Spirit did not result in the sessful formation of the eighth Sword Heart.


    Tomorrow was the day of the Pharmacist Competition, and Yang Xiaotian did not practice anymore, intending to take everyone to the Green Lotus Tavern for a feast.

 Chapter 201: The Sun Rises from the West

    Chapter 201: The Sun Rises from the West


    However, by the time Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Green Lotus Tavern, it was already fully seated.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were about to search for seats in frustration, they heard someone exim with surprise, ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    Divine Yang!


    Hearing this familiar address, Yang Xiaotian looked over.


    He saw that Gu Xi, the prince of the Ancient Sword Kingdom, was sitting by a window and waving at him excitedly with a broad grin.


    Seeing that it was Gu Xi, Yang Xiaotian smiled and walked over with everyone.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡± Gu Xi stood up to greet Yang Xiaotian warmly, inviting him and hispany to take seats.


    After Yang Xiaotian sat down, he introduced his parents, Yang Chao and Huang Ying, among others, then smiled and asked, ¡°Are you also here to participate in the Empire Pharmacist Competition?¡±


    Seeing Gu Xi in the Imperial Capital was quite a surprise for him.


    Gu Xiughed and said, ¡°My alchemy level is not even half full. How could I dare to make a fool of myself in the Imperial Capital? I knew that Divine Yang would definitely participate. I¡¯m here to see how you win the championship.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and didn¡¯t continue on this topic, asking instead, ¡°How long have you been in the Imperial Capital? Do you have a ce to stay? If not, you are wee to stay at my residence.¡±


    Gu Xi felt a warmth in his heart and gratefully said, ¡°Thank you, Divine Yang.¡±


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian summoned the tavern¡¯s waiter and ordered twenty jars of the finest Green Lotus Liquor.


    Since the first grade was already sold out, Yang Xiaotian could only order the second grade.


    Soon, the liquor and dishes were served.


    Just as Wu Qi had said, the Green Lotus Liquor was very enjoyable to drink. One sip seemed to open up all the pores in the body.


    Perhaps because he was ustomed to his own brew, Yang Xiaotian always felt that the Green Lotus Liquorcked something special.


    Everyone was drinking merrily.


    After a satisfying meal, Yang Xiaotian settled the bill, and just as he and the others were leaving the tavern, Gu Shaozong was walking towards Green Lotus Tavern with a pretty young woman.


    The woman was Li Qianqian from the Green Lotus Tavern, and also the daughter of Li Jianghu.


    The two were good friends.


    ¡°I heard that Brother Gu has been urgently in need of an Innate Sword Spirit?¡± Li Qianqian asked. ¡°Shall I have the people from Green Lotus Tavern also help Brother Gu inquire about it?¡±


    Gu Shaozong nodded and smiled, ¡°Thank you, that would be great!¡±


    ¡°Between you and me, there¡¯s no need for formalities,¡± said Li Qianqian, shaking her head.


    Thinking of the superior Innate Sword Spirit that Yang Xiaotian possessed, Gu Shaozong felt bitter resentment and said, ¡°Once I win the first ce in this Alchemist Competition and take over the Empire Pharmacist Hall, I will definitely revoke Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Pharmacist status!¡±


    Li Qianqian nodded. She had also heard about how Yang Xiaotian refused to trade his Innate Sword Spirit for the Pharmacopoeia of Medicine God and chased Gu Shaozong away.


    She said, ¡°When Yang Xiaotian was in Tiandou Imperial City, he led his men into the Great Tiandou Alchemist Hall, injured a number of Pharmacists, and stole many rare medicinal herbs from the hall.¡±


    ¡°Such a person who disregards thew should have been expelled from the hall a long time ago.¡±


    ¡°A person like that wearing a Pharmacist¡¯s robe is a disgrace to all of us Pharmacists!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian and Gu Xi, along with theirpanions, walked out of the tavern and happened to overhear Gu Shaozong and Li Qianqian¡¯s conversation from a distance.


    Wu Qi and the others, upon hearing Li Qianqian say that Yang Xiaotian wearing a Pharmacist¡¯s robe was a disgrace to Pharmacists, were all filled with anger.


    ¡°My young master wearing a Pharmacist¡¯s robe is a disgrace to Pharmacists? In my opinion, you are the disgrace to the Pharmacists of the Empire!¡± Liu An couldn¡¯t help but retort angrily.


    Gu Shaozong and Li Qianqian suddenly looked up.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Gu Shaozong¡¯s expression darkened.


    As soon as Li Qianqian realized that the person before her was Yang Xiaotian, her beautiful eyes turned cold, ¡°You are Yang Xiaotian! Who allowed you toe to our Green Lotus Tavern? From now on, you and everyone with you are banned from entering our Green Lotus Tavern!¡±


    Gu Shaozong said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this youngdy is Miss Qianqian from the Green Lotus Tavern, and the tavern belongs to her.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Li Qianqian and said indifferently, ¡°The Green Lotus Liquor is tasteless to drink. From now on, even if your Li Family begs me, I will not enter your Green Lotus Tavern.¡±


    ¡°My Li Family will beg you in the future?¡± Li Qianqian burst intoughter upon hearing this, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think you are the Divine Dragon Ancestor of our Divine Dragon Empire?¡±


    Backed by the Green Lotus Sword Deity, the Green Lotus Tavern was untouchable even by the top ten Supreme Sects within the Divine Dragon Empire.


    In the entire Divine Dragon Empire, the only people that the Green Lotus Tavern needed to be wary of were the Divine Dragon Ancestor and that person from the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian had actually said that in the future, the Li Family would beg him, no wonder Li Qianqian thought it wasughable.


    Gu Shaozong also shook his head and said, ¡°Ignorant.¡± Having said that, he turned to enter the Green Lotus Tavern with Li Qianqian.


    ¡°Do you really think you can win the championship of the Pharmacist Competition?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly spoke up.


    Gu Shaozong was startled for a moment, then replied with disdain in his eyes, ¡°If I can¡¯t win the Pharmacist Competition, you think you, a mere Martial King Realm practitioner, can?¡± Heughed and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you, a Martial King Realm practitioner, actually dared to sign up for the Empire Pharmacist Competition. If I were you, I would have already hidden in a hole in embarrassment.¡±


    ¡°Just imagine, in tomorrow¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, everyone can concoct Profound Level Elixirs, yet you are the only one who can¡¯t. Wouldn¡¯t that be utterly ridiculous?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Gu Shaozong, ¡°You¡¯ve never seen me perform alchemy, how would you know that I can¡¯t concoct Profound Level Elixirs?¡± After speaking, he left with the rest of his group.


    Li Qianqian watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, shook her head, and smiled, ¡°What an idiot! A Martial King trying to concoct Profound Level Elixirs.¡±


    Gu Shaozongughed and said, ¡°Unless the sun can rise from the west.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian returned to the Azure Dragon Residence, sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, and cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul and ck Dragon Martial Spirit floated behind him, devouring the spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens.


    After days of cultivation, the changes in his ck Tortoise Martial Soul and ck Dragon Martial Spirit became more and more astonishing.


    The tortoise shell of the ck Tortoise Martial Soul was covered with densely packed runes, pulsing with light.


    The ck Dragon¡¯s body was enveloped in incredible golden mes.


    Around the golden mes, Dark Power churned tumultuously, like an endless Dark World.


    Yang Xiaotian had never heard of a ck Dragon with golden mes before.


    The night finally faded away.


    The morning sun illuminated thend.


    The entire Imperial Capital was seething with excitement.


    A surging throng of people.


    Although they had expected arge crowd, when Yang Xiaotian and the others stepped out of the Azure Dragon Residence and saw the immense throng before them, they were stunned.


    ¡°How many people are there? Tens of millions?¡± Luo Qing looked at the endless sea of heads and felt parched.


    Seeing the dense, impassable streets ahead, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to let out the ck Flood Dragon King to clear the way.


    With the ck Flood Dragon King clearing the path, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions finally managed to reach the Imperial Capital za with great difficulty.


    Imperial Capital za was also packed with people.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and his group were making their way forward, they heard amotion from the crowd. They saw a group of experts from the Sky-Stepping Sect approaching from a distance, and wherever they passed, formidable figures stepped aside.


    Long Xingtian was following behind Zhao Jinzhou, the ancestor of the Sky-Stepping Sect, walking into the Imperial Capital za. Suddenly, he spotted Yang Xiaotian among the crowd and his eyes filled with a murderous intent.


    Since Yang Xiaotian had purchased the Azure Dragon Residence, although Long Xingtian hadn¡¯t been sleeping on the streets over the past few days, the difort of cramming himself and Zhu Xuan and others into a small courtyard was almost unbearable.


    Zhu Xuan also spotted Yang Xiaotian at that moment, and his eyes turned frosty. He transmitted his voice to Long Xingtian, ¡°After the Pharmacist Competition is over, we¡¯ll kill Yang Xiaotian, and the Azure Dragon Residence will still be ours.¡±


    Long Xingtian nodded. They had gone through various channels and spent a hefty sum to hire the third-ranked assassin on the hit list, Shadow Night Demon, to assassinate Yang Xiaotian.


    The Shadow Night Demon, who could even sessfully assassinate those in the first level of the Saint Realm, meant that Yang Xiaotian was sure to die this time!

 Chapter 202: The Barbecue is So Delicious

    Chapter 202: The Barbecue is So Delicious


    Not long after Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, and others arrived, Jiu Wu and Lan Yi from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect also made their appearance.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, the murderous intent in Lan Yi¡¯s eyes red like a pir of fire, almost scorching Yang Xiaotian himself.


    The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect¡¯s ancestor, Jiu Wu, also looked at Yang Xiaotian with a cold and piercing gaze.


    His disciple had been sted out of the Imperial Capital by Yang Xiaotian, and for the past few days, the most talked-about subject during tea and meals in the Imperial Capital had been the incident of his disciple being ousted from the city.


    Consequently, he, as a master, had also be the subject of people¡¯s discussions during their leisure time.


    As Jiu Wu passed by Yang Xiaotian, he spoke with a voice that sent a chill right down to one¡¯s bones, ¡°It¡¯s been a year, Friend Yang, and you¡¯ve certainly surprised me.¡±


    Indeed, the changes in Yang Xiaotian within this year had taken Jiu Wu and everyone from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect by surprise.


    Ever since Yang Xiaotian killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, Yang Xiaolong had entered the sights of the senior echelons of various supreme sects of the empire.


    ¡°However, someone as arrogant and disrespectful as you won¡¯t live long!¡± Jiu Wu added.


    Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, ¡°You needn¡¯t worry about that.¡±


    Jiu Wu snorted coldly and took Lan Yi to the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect¡¯s seats.


    Yang Xiaotian watched Jiu Wu¡¯s figure with an unchanged expression.


    These days, he had gotten to know the strength of the upper echelons in the top ten supreme sects.


    Elders were generally at the Saint Realm from the first to the sixth level.


    Supreme Elders were at the seventh to the ninth peak of the Saint Realm.


    Ancestors¡¯ strength was always at the tenth level of the Saint Realm.


    Although Jiu Wu had already broken through to the tenth level of the Saint Realm long ago, he was currently only at the early peak of the tenth level, far from being on par with the likes of the earlier Zhu Jing.


    Following Jiu Wu and Zhu Xuan, Gu Shaozong and Li Qianqian also arrived one after another.


    The two arrived side by side.


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s arrival caused a massive stir in the square, with various strong figures and disciples greeting him, bowing, and paying their respects. Even Jiu Wu¡¯s arrival had not made such an impact.


    Although Jiu Wu was at the tenth level of the Saint Realm, the Divine Dragon Empire did notck strong figures at that level.


    However, Gu Shaozong possessed the seventh-ranked Abnormal Fire, the Heaven Burning me, and had received the legacy of the Medicine God, Su Dan.


    Some said that Gu Shaozong was likely to be the second Medicine God of the Divine Dragon Empire!


    Gu Shaozong nodded to the crowd and, passing by Yang Xiaotian, smiled and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you said yesterday that you could produce a Profound Level Spirit Pill. I look forward to seeing you actually make one today.¡±


    The moment Gu Shaozong spoke, it immediately caused amotion among the surrounding crowd.


    ¡°What, Yang Xiaotian, a Martial King, imed he could produce a Profound Level Spirit Pill?¡±


    Even Long Xingtian and Lan Yi, who were far away, were taken aback upon hearing this.


    Jiu Wu also shook his head with a smile, ¡°Ignorant fool!¡±


    When Li Qianqian passed by Yang Xiaotian, she naturally did not show a pleasant face.


    She felt a strong aversion and disgust toward those who disrespectedws and engaged in unfounded bragging.


    As time passed, more and more powerful figures from various factions arrived in the square.


    The ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Liang Yafei, came with a group of experts from the sect as well.


    ¡°Is that Zhu Miaomiao?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell upon Zhu Miaomiao, who was behind Liang Yafei.


    Luo Qing had found out that Zhu Miaomiao and his sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, did not get along well and had often made things difficult for his sister.


    ¡°Yes, she is Zhu Xuan¡¯s cousin, Zhu Miaomiao,¡± Luo Qing said.


    Zhu Miaomiao seemed to sense something and looked towards Yang Xiaotian. In her eyes, there was a barely detectable chill when she saw Yang Xiaotian.


    After the various supreme sects of the Empire had all arrived, the top figures of the Empire Pharmacist Hall like Shi Yongping, Wang Zhou, Chen Nian, and others finally made their appearance.


    Apanying Shi Yongping, Wang Zhou, and the others were members of the Empire¡¯s Royal Family.


    Yang Xiaotian saw Long Lan, whom he had encountered in the Red Moon Forest previously.


    He also saw the little girl Qingxuan.


    Qingxuan was idly following behind Long Lan when she suddenly spotted Yang Xiaotian in the crowd, her pretty face lighting up with surprise as she waved excitedly and called out, ¡°Brother Xiaotian!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled in response.


    Qingxuan¡¯s call, however, took Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, Lan Yi, and others by surprise.


    ¡°Your Highness knows Yang Xiaotian?¡± Long Xingtian¡¯s face darkened.


    Zhu Xuan was also puzzled, for this was the first time he had heard of it.


    Shi Yongping ascended to the main stage, sat down with everyone, and with a smile, asked the crowd, ¡°Is that boy Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°He is Brother Xiaotian,¡± the girl Qingxuan said with a smile.


    Shi Yongping smiled and asked, ¡°Your Highness knows Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    Qingxuan nodded seriously and said with a smile, ¡°The grilled meat Brother Xiaotian cooks is so delicious.¡±


    Grilled meat is delicious?


    The crowd was astounded.


    At this moment, Wang Zhou¡¯s disciple Wu You whispered something to Wang Zhou.


    After listening, Wang Zhou smiled at the crowd and said, ¡°My disciple just told me that Yang Xiaotian boasted to Gu Shaozong that he could refine a Profound Level elixir today.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shi Yongping¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Qingxuan, however, said, ¡°Brother Xiaotian is very amazing. He went into the Red Moon Forest alone to subdue a mount beast; he knows Beast Language and the Blood Sacrifice Technique; he even tamed a small green python. If he says he can refine a Profound Level elixir, then he definitely can.¡±


    Long Lan didn¡¯t take the small green python mentioned by Qingxuan seriously and shook his head with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian¡¯s talent in alchemy is indeed high, but he is only at the Martial King Realm now, how could he possibly refine a Profound Level elixir.¡±


    The absurd idea of someone at the Martial King Realm being able to refine a Profound Level elixir was something he had never heard of before.


    Shi Yongping also shook his head.


    Even the Medicine God Su Dan couldn¡¯t have refined a Profound Level elixir at the Martial King Realm back in the day.


    Refining a Profound Level elixir in the Martial King Realm was a feat that only existed in myths.


    Wang Zhou asked his disciple Wu You, ¡°How many pharmacists are participating in the Empire Pharmacist Competition this time?¡±


    ¡°Over one hundred and twenty thousand,¡± Wu You answered respectfully.


    ¡°Over one hundred and twenty thousand,¡± Wang Zhou said with a smile to the crowd, ¡°Do you think Yang Xiaotian can make it into the top one hundred thousand?¡±


    Long Lan remained silent.


    In the past few days, he had deliberately inquired about Yang Xiaotian and knew that Yang Xiaotian refined a top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron, which was extremely shocking.


    However, in this Empire Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength was too weak. Nearly all the otherpeting pharmacists were at the Martial Emperor Realm, and even if Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy level were higher, he would likely not be able to obtain a good ranking.


    Although it wasn¡¯t to the extent that Wang Zhou suggested¡ªwhether he could rank within the top one hundred thousand¡ªthe prospect of Yang Xiaotian entering the top ten thousand was slim!


    Seeing that the time was about right, Shi Yongping had Second Elder Chen Nian preside over the Pharmacist Competition.


    Chen Nian stood up, surveyed the strong contenders from all sides, introduced in detail the rules and rewards of the Empire Pharmacist Competition, and then asked all the participating pharmacists to move to thepetition area.


    Yang Xiaotian, along with Gu Shaozong, Long Xingtian, Li Qianqian, and others, proceeded to thepetition area as instructed.


    ¡°When everyone enters the Medicine Realmter, I hope you all manage your time well. You only have two hours to find medicinal herbs,¡± Chen Nian said and then opened the spatial entrance to the Medicine Realm.


    All thepeting pharmacists surged in.


    The Empire Pharmacist Competition consisted of three rounds, with the first round being an entry into the Medicine Realm to find the dozens of medicinal herbs required to concoct the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    And they had to find them within two hours to pass.


    The Medicine Realm was vast, and finding dozens of medicinal herbs in two hours was challenging!


    The hardest part was that everyone had to blindfold their eyes before searching for the herbs.

 Chapter 203: Is Yang Xiaotian Going to Be the First One Eliminated?

    Chapter 203: Is Yang Xiaotian Going to Be the First One Eliminated?


    Blindfolded, he searched for herbal ingredients!


    This alone was enough to make many pharmacists think twice.


    Without eyesight, one could only rely on smell to identify the herbs, which made this task countless times harder than the alchemist contest Yang Xiaotian had participated in within the Divine Sea Kingdom.


    However, after entering the Medicine Realm, Yang Xiaotian calmly covered his eyes with a ck cloth.


    To prevent cheating, these ck cloths were distributed by the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    After blindfolding himself, Yang Xiaotian felt the world around him quiet down.


    Breezes whispered past his ears.


    Yang Xiaotian stimted his Soul Power, sensing his surroundings.


    Now, his Soul Power covered a range of one thousand meters!


    Even many of those at the Supreme Emperor Realm did not possess such Soul Power.


    Once he expanded his Soul Power, every movement within a thousand meters around him was clearly transmitted to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind.


    He executed the Skywalking Thousand Swords technique and flew forward, breaking through the air.


    At the Imperial Capital za, a gigantic Stone Mirror reflected everything happening in the Medicine Realm. Shi Yongping saw Yang Xiaotian execute the Skywalking Thousand Swords at the Summit Mastery Realm and eximed with admiration, ¡°The Skywalking Thousand Swords of the Summit Mastery Realm, truly befitting of an unparalleled Sword Dao genius!¡±


    Chen Nian also praised, ¡°As far as I know, Yang Xiaotian has cultivated the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique, the Shocking Heaven Sword Art, and the Burying Heaven Sword Technique to the Summit Mastery level. With the addition of the Skywalking Thousand Swords, that makes four techniques.¡±


    ¡°For someone of his age to have cultivated four Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, is truly rare!¡±


    Wang Zhou snorted derisively, ¡°Just four techniques. He¡¯s about to break through to Martial Ancestor. At most, having four techniques at Summit Mastery level will only allow him to condense a high-quality Golden Core. Compared to the supreme talents of the ten Supreme Sects who have condensed top-quality Golden Cores, the difference is not just slight.¡±


    However, Shi Yongpingughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian has already condensed five Nine-Colored Sword Hearts. I believe that with his Sword Dao Talent, he will definitely cultivate ten Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery level before his breakthrough to Martial Ancestor.¡±


    Wang Zhou sneered, ¡°Just five Nine-Colored Sword Hearts. You Yi from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom has already condensed the sixth Sword Heart, which is also the Strongest Sword Heart.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, You Yi has also cultivated seven Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery.¡±


    ¡°Compared to You Yi, Yang Xiaotian is just downright trash!¡±


    Upon hearing Wang Zhou constantly belittle Yang Xiaotian, Qingxuan red at him fiercely, indignantly retorting, ¡°Brother Xiaotian will definitely surpass that You Yi in the future. He will certainly condense a top-quality Golden Core!¡±


    Caught off-guard by Qingxuan¡¯s rebuttal, Wang Zhou let out an embarrassed chuckle and chose not to argue with Qingxuan any further, especially considering her status and the fact that she was but a young girl.


    Within the Medicine Realm, after flying for a while, Yang Xiaotiannded before a stretch of mountainousnd.


    There, in front of him,y an enormous field of medicinal herbs.


    The field was densely packed with thousands upon thousands of medicinal nts.


    The Seven-vor Grass, one of the ingredients needed for the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, was among the herbs in this field.


    However, there were many other nts around the Seven-vor Grass whose scents and colors were extremely simr to it, making it no easy task to identify the right nt.


    After sniffing around for a while, Yang Xiaotian urately approached the Seven-vor Grass, plucked it out, and stored it away before continuing his search for other ingredients.


    Shi Yongping closely watched Yang Xiaotian, and upon seeing him find the Seven-vor Grass urately, he nodded to himself in silent approval.


    Truth be told, he held great admiration for the boy.


    The rules for the first two rounds of the Empire Alchemist Contest were set by him.


    The first round of finding herbs didn¡¯t require much strength, which undoubtedly favored Yang Xiaotian, who was at the Martial King Realm.


    However, that was all he could do to aid Yang Xiaotian in the initial two rounds.


    What rank Yang Xiaotian would achieve in the third round was up to his own destiny.


    ¡°I just hope the kid can make it into the top hundred,¡± Shi Yongping thought to himself.


    Although he knew it was an unlikely prospect, deep down he still harbored a flicker of hope for a miracle to ur.


    If Yang Xiaotian could emerge within the top hundred in this contest, he would be able to join the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    Otherwise, even he would be powerless to help.


    Supported by a powerful Soul Power, Yang Xiaotian quickly found over a dozen types of medicinal ingredients.


    Because the first round¡¯s rules prohibited snatching or attacking otherpeting disciples, everyone within the Medicine Realm was merely focused on finding medicinal ingredients, and no conflicts arose.


    In less than ten minutes, Yang Xiaotian had gathered dozens of medicinal ingredients and then exited the Medicine Realm.


    Yang Xiaotian was the first toe out.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotiane out first, Wang Zhou coldly huffed.


    Jiu Wu from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect was also in a bad mood.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian just got damn lucky, blindly grabbing at stuff, and he managed to find all the ingredients so quickly,¡± said a disciple beside Jiu Wu.


    Jiu Wu coldly said, ¡°It¡¯s useless to perform well in the first two rounds; rankings are only decided in the third round, and he simply won¡¯t be able to concoct a Profound Level Elixir.¡±


    ¡°By then, he will be the first to be eliminated.¡±


    The second and third to emerge from the Medicine Realm were Gu Shaozong and Li Qianqian.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian ahead of them by two steps, both of them frowned.


    ¡°It¡¯s just the first round,¡± Li Qianqian said dismissively, ¡°It doesn¡¯t prove anything.¡±


    Gu Shaozong nodded.


    Two hours passed quickly, and in the end, only a little over fifty thousand had passed the first round.


    Next came the second round.


    The second round involved using the medicinal ingredients found in the Medicine Realm to concoct the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    The time limit was also two hours.


    However, unlike usual alchemy, the second round also requiredpetitors to be blindfolded.


    Searching for medicinal ingredients with blindfolded eyes in the first round was already extremely difficult, but concocting elixirs blindfolded in the second round increased the difficulty by more than double.


    One must know, if one is even slightly careless in controlling the Heaven and Earth Fire, it could burn the medicinal ingredients to ashes.


    Before applying the blindfold, Lan Yi made a covert signal to one of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect¡¯speting disciples.


    ¡°Begin alchemy now!¡± Chen Nian announced loudly after everyone had been blindfolded.


    Yang Xiaotian adeptly ced the medicinal ingredients for the Four Symbols Spirit Pill into the Medicine Cauldron in sequence and slowly began controlling the Heaven and Earth Fire to incinerate and melt them.


    These procedures might seem simple, but if the sequence of the medicinal ingredients was incorrect, or if they were not fully melted, the pill would not form.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to sessfully melt all the ingredients, suddenly, the me controlled by thepeting disciple from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect surged wildly, and like an uncontroble savage beast, it charged toward Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ingredients.


    The faces of Shi Yongping, Qingxuan, and others changed.


    The mes from that disciple of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect were extremely fierce; if Yang Xiaotian¡¯s medicinal ingredients were burnt, they would bepletely destroyed.


    By then, forget about advancing to the third round; he wouldn¡¯t even be able to pass the second!


    ¡°Be careful!¡± Qingxuan, Wu Qi, and the others shouted in rm.


    Just as the aggressor¡¯s mes were about to destroy Yang Xiaotian¡¯s medicinal ingredients, suddenly, the Medicine Cauldron controlled by Yang Xiaotian shone brightly, and the mes miraculously reversed, burning back at the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect disciple with even greater speed and ferocity.


    The disciple from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect instantly became a man of fire, screaming miserably.


    A putrid smell of scorched flesh spread throughout the air.


    This frightening urrence threw the surroundingpetitors into a panicked disorder.


    Smelling the burnt flesh, Lan Yi¡¯s face involuntarily twitched, and he nearly burnt his own medicinal ingredients due to a slip of his hand.


    (Three more chapters tomorrow)

 Chapter 204: Whose Abnormal Fire is Trash?

    Chapter 204: Whose Abnormal Fire is Trash?


    Originally, there were still quite a few pharmacists who wanted to deal with Yang Xiaotian ruthlessly, but after seeing what happened to that disciple of Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, they were all too scared to make a move.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian refined and sessfully fused all the ingredients.


    When the Spirit Pill waspleted, the fragrance filled the entire square.


    All who smelled it felt their spirits refreshed and their bodies invigorated.


    Shi Yongping, Long Lan, and others all had their eyes shining bright.


    Just by smelling this fragrance, both knew that the Four Symbols Spirit Pill Yang Xiaotian refined was definitely not of low quality, at least it was of supreme grade.


    As expected, there was an appraiser on site, who, upon appraising, excitedly said, ¡°It is the pinnacle of supreme grade, approaching unique grade!¡±


    The pinnacle of supreme grade, approaching unique grade!


    Powerhouses from all sides at the venue were shaken in their hearts.


    Supreme grade elixirs were also graded in levels.


    Only those at the pinnacle of supreme grade were the finest below the unique grade.


    The key was that Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even use an Abnormal Fire yet refined a Four Symbols Spirit Pill of the pinnacle of supreme grade.


    One must know that many pharmacists who possess an Abnormal Fire cannot refine a pinnacle supreme grade medicine even with the use of Abnormal Fire.


    When Shi Yongping heard the appraiser say that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Four Symbols Spirit Pill was at the pinnacle of supreme grade, he couldn¡¯t help but excitedly ask, ¡°How long did Xiaotian take just now?¡±


    ¡°Nine minutes,¡± replied the appraiser excitedly.


    Nine minutes.


    Less than ten minutes.


    And he had refined a Four Symbols Spirit Pill of the pinnacle of supreme grade.


    Although the Four Symbols Spirit Pill was only an Innate Spirit Pill, everyone was still astounded.


    Upon hearing this, Shi Yongpingughed excitedly, ¡°Good! Excellent! After a hundred years, our Empire will see the return of a Medicine God!¡±


    All who heard it were shocked.


    Did the Grand Hall Master just imply that a hundred yearster, Yang Xiaotian would surely achieve the status of a Medicine God?


    Many people even looked at Gu Shaozong instinctively.


    If Yang Xiaotian were to be a Medicine God in the future, what about Gu Shaozong?


    Hearing Shi Yongping¡¯s high praise of Yang Xiaotian, Gu Shaozong couldn¡¯t help being consumed by jealousy. Even when he disyed his exceptional talent in alchemy in front of Shi Yongping, having received the Medicine God Su Dan¡¯s inheritance, Shi Yongping had never praised him to such an extent.


    Now, just because Yang Xiaotian had refined a Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he dered that Yang Xiaotian could be a Medicine God in the future?


    The more Gu Shaozong thought about it, the more his anger red. He waved his hands repeatedly, even using the Sun Moon Brilliance technique that he had never disyed before others.


    Under Gu Shaozong¡¯s control, the Heaven and Earth Fire separated into two distinctive forms.


    One was exceptionally gentle, constantly rotating as if evolving into a bright moon.


    The other was extremely fierce and violent, forming a massive burning sun.


    The two forms of Heaven and Earth Fire alternated, melting dozens of ingredients one after another.


    ¡°Sun Moon Brilliance!¡± Wu You, a disciple on the main stage, eximed in shock.


    Sun Moon Brilliance, one of the top ten alchemy techniques!


    ¡°Excellent!¡± Wang Zhou, seeing Gu Shaozong employing the technique of Sun Moon Brilliance, eximed with excitement, ¡°Truly befitting of the number one young talent in our Empire¡¯s pharmaceutical arena! To master such an ancient technique as Sun Moon Brilliance!¡±


    ¡°And to control it so proficiently too!¡±


    The other Elders from the Empire Pharmacist Hall were equally thrilled.


    The top ten alchemy techniques were extremely difficult to master and even harder to witness; many seasoned pharmacists were seeing the technique of Sun Moon Brilliance for the first time.


    Even Lu Yi, who had only recently been promoted to Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, marveled, ¡°Young Master Gu will surely be the cornerstone of our Empire¡¯s Medicine Realm!¡±


    Upon witnessing Gu Shaozong¡¯s use of the Sun Moon Brilliance alchemy technique, Long Lan also inwardly admired it.


    He considered his own level of alchemy to be quite good, but ifpared to Gu Shaozong in his youth, he would have paled significantly.


    Amidst everyone¡¯s exmations, Gu Shaozong refined all the ingredients and fused them together.¡°`


    Soon, the pill was formed.


    At the moment ofpletion, the fragrance of the elixir pervaded the air, intoxicating everyone who smelled it.


    The appraiser stepped forward excitedly to evaluate it, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke truthfully, ¡°It¡¯s of ultimate quality.¡±


    Ultimate quality!


    The expressions on everyone¡¯s faces were vivid and varied.


    That meant it wasn¡¯t the pinnacle of ultimate quality.


    Just now, Gu Shaozong had used the Sun Moon Brilliance technique to refine the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, but it was only of ultimate quality.


    Upon hearing this, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face suddenly soured.


    ¡°Impossible! The Four Symbols Spirit Pill refined by our Brother Gu can¡¯t just be ultimate quality!¡± a disciple of the Ancient Divine Pce couldn¡¯t help but angrily protest.


    The appraiser frowned, and at that moment, Chen Nian leapt down from the presiding stage, and personally appraised the Four Symbols Spirit Pill made by Gu Shaozong. After a brief moment, he looked around at the crowd and said to Gu Shaozong and the disciple from the Ancient Divine Pce, ¡°Indeed, it is of ultimate quality.¡±


    The disciple from the Ancient Divine Pce was rendered speechless.


    Gu Shaozong clenched his fists tightly.


    Normally, if a pharmacist were to refine an elixir of ultimate quality, it would be cause for immense joy, but this time, looking at the ultimate quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill he had refined, all he felt was an irritating sting to his eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian had managed to refine an elixir of the pinnacle of ultimate quality without even using the ten great alchemy techniques.


    And what about him? Even with the use of Sun Moon Brilliance, he still couldn¡¯t achieve the pinnacle of ultimate quality.


    Didn¡¯t that mean his skills werecking?


    A man cannot admit to being inadequate.


    Shortly after, Li Qianqian, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Zhu Miaomiao, and others also seeded in refining their pills, but like Gu Shaozong, they only achieved ultimate quality.


    Two hourster, the second round ended, with more than twenty people having refined ultimate quality pills, but only Yang Xiaotian alone had achieved the pinnacle of ultimate quality!


    When Chen Nian announced the results, whether it was Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, or Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, and the others, their expressions all darkened.


    Next came the third round.


    ¡°For the third round, you all may exercise your creativity,¡± Chen Nian dered loudly. ¡°Whoever refines an elixir with a higher rank, better quality, and in a shorter time will be ranked higher.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Long Xingkong smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, we¡¯re all going to refine Profound Level pills in the third round, you¡¯re not still going to continue refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, are you?¡±


    Li Qianqian, Zhu Miaomiao, and others all smiled.


    At that moment, Long Xingkong was enveloped in a surge of purple light, and his Purple Luo Extreme Fire, ranked twelfth, flew out, eliciting a wave of astonished cries from the surrounding crowd.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, the other day you called my Purple Luo Extreme Fire trash, why don¡¯t you bring out your me of Star for everyone to see, and let¡¯s see whose Abnormal Fire is really trash,¡± Long Xingkongughed.


    Under the entwining Purple Luo Extreme Fire, Long Xingkong¡¯s presence was incredibly formidable.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian actually called Long Xingkong¡¯s Purple Luo Extreme Fire trash?¡± Upon hearing this on the presiding stage, Wang Zhou chuckled in amusement: ¡°Yang Xiaotian doesn¡¯t think his me of Star is a top ten Abnormal Fire, does he?¡±


    His disciple, Wu You,ughed and said, ¡°He must have been out of his mind when he said that, talking nonsense.¡±


    Lu Yi chuckled and agreed, ¡°I fear so.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at Long Xingkong with a smug smile on his face, activated the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    At that moment, everyone at the scene heard a thundering cry of a phoenix.


    No, more precisely, there were nine cries of a phoenix.


    From within Yang Xiaotian, a surge of golden light soared into the sky.


    Nine golden phoenixes flew out,posed of mes.


    In that instant, the astonishing golden mes spread far and wide, engulfing the heavens and the earth.


    Under the onught of the golden mes, Long Xingkong¡¯s originally dazzling Purple Luo Extreme Fire dimmed, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.


    Long Xingkong was nearly choked with disbelief.


    ¡°The Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡± On the presiding stage, Shi Yongping, Long Lan, and others couldn¡¯t help but exim excitedly.


    Wang Zhou, Wu You, Li Qianqian, Lan Yi, and the others were all stunned.


    (Awesome!)

 Chapter 205 - 205 Who Controls the Divine Flame?

    Chapter 205: Who Controls the Divine me?


    Even Gu Shaozong was taken aback.


    Yang Xiaotian had not only mastered the me of Stars but had also subdued the Nine Phoenixes Golden me!


    The Nine Phoenixes Golden me, this was the ninth-ranked Abnormal Fire.


    How on earth did Yang Xiaotian subdue it?


    To subdue the Heaven Burning me, he had nearly lost his life ¡ª and that too only after all the Wise Ancestors of the Ancient Divine Pce had joined hands to suppress the Heaven Burning me. It was only then that he narrowly escaped death and subdued it.


    But what about Yang Xiaotian?


    How did Yang Xiaotian manage to do it?


    The various powers present at the scene were simrly shocked, amazed, and taken aback.


    Just as everyone was in shock, Qingxuan stood up, her excited little face blushing, her hands covering her mouth, she shouted, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you¡¯re amazing!¡±


    Brother Xiaotian!


    You¡¯re amazing!


    This ¡°amazing¡±.


    Almost led everyone to wild thoughts.


    Long Lan cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness.


    But Qingxuan seemed oblivious to her Uncle Long Lan¡¯s embarrassment and continued to shout, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you¡¯re too amazing!¡±


    Pfft!


    On the main stage, a Pharmacist Hall Elder spat out the tea from his mouth.


    Almost spraying it on Wang Zhou.


    Wang Zhou¡¯s murderous gaze caused the Elder¡¯s neck to shrink in fear.


    Long Lan looked at his niece somewhat speechlessly. Saying ¡°amazing¡± and ¡°too amazing¡± would have sufficed, yet she unnecessarily added a ¡°yo¡± at the end.


    In this world, there were not so many ¡°yos.¡±


    Luckily, he hadn¡¯t been drinking tea just then.


    Hearing Princess Qingxuan continuously praising Xiaotian with ¡°so amazing¡± and ¡°too amazing¡± from the main stage, Long Xingkong, who already looked upset, got even more displeased.


    He gazed at the nine golden phoenix mes above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, eyes wanting to spit fire, but they just couldn¡¯t spark.


    Just as everyone was astonished at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine Phoenixes Golden me, Gu Shaozong suddenly spoke, ¡°It is only the ninth-ranked Abnormal Fire, nothing to be so proud of.¡±


    It is only the ninth-ranked Abnormal Fire!


    Everyone was dumbfounded; suddenly, from within Gu Shaozong¡¯s body, mes soared to the sky as well, and their intensity surpassed that of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me ¡ª even brighter and more dazzling.


    The mes of Gu Shaozong were eerily red, domineering red, so intense that they made one¡¯s heart palpitate.


    A sea of fiery red enveloped Gu Shaozong¡¯s body. From a distance, Gu Shaozong seemed like a god of fire.


    ¡°Heaven Burning me!¡±


    All the powerful figures at the scene were shocked.


    It wasmon knowledge that Gu Shaozong possessed the seventh-ranked Abnormal Fire, the Heaven Burning me, but many present had seen it for the first time.


    The imposing power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine Phoenixes Golden me, with all phoenixes sounding their calls, was immense.


    However, Gu Shaozong¡¯s Heaven Burning me was even more domineering, with terrifying waves of heat as if it intended to burn the very heaven above.


    Under the influence of the Heaven Burning me, both Long Xingkong¡¯s Purple Luo Extreme Fire and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine Phoenixes Golden me were strongly suppressed.


    Long Xingkong¡¯s Purple Luo Extreme Fire flickered like a candle in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine Phoenixes Golden me fared better, but the golden mes on the phoenixes had also dimmed a bit.


    Standing amidst the Heaven Burning me, Gu Shaozong looked down arrogantly at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine Phoenixes Golden me, ¡°What¡¯s so great about the Nine Phoenixes Golden me? In my eyes, it¡¯s just trash.¡±


    What¡¯s so great about the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, it¡¯s just trash!


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s domineering and arrogant words deeply shook all the powerful figures at the event.


    On the main stage, Wang Zhou pped loudly andughed, ¡°What a Heaven Burning me! With the Heaven Burning me making its appearance, I ask, among all the Abnormal Fires of the world, who can contend?¡±


    Who in the world dares to contend with the Abnormal Fire?


    The words of Wang Zhou sent shockwaves through the crowd.


    Yet, no one dared to retort.


    That¡¯s because, as far as everyone knew, the one who possessed the top-ranking Abnormal Fire in the Divine Dragon Empire was none other than Gu Shaozong.


    Even though the Empire Pharmacist Hall had the Earth me, no one could subdue it.


    Everyone stared at Gu Shaozong¡¯s Heaven Burning me in utter shock.


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s Heaven Burning me captivated everyone¡¯s attention.


    Just as everyone was awestruck by Gu Shaozong¡¯s Heaven Burning me, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Heaven Burning me, huh? To me, it¡¯s just trash.¡±


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Upon hearing this, Gu Shaozongughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, from what you¡¯re saying, do you possess the top six Abnormal Fires?!¡± He then stared at Yang Xiaotian with a murderous gaze, ¡°Then show them to everyone right now!¡±


    He then shouted furiously, ¡°I don¡¯t fucking believe you have the top six Abnormal Fires!¡±


    ¡°If you can¡¯t summon the top six Abnormal Fires, I¡¯ll crush you!¡±


    Gu Shaozong was raging to the extreme.


    Lan Yi, Long Xingkong, Li Qianqian, and others sneered coldly as well. Naturally, they too did not believe Yang Xiaotian possessed two of the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    No one on the Azure God Continent had ever possessed two of the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian with a bizarre gaze.


    Just when everyone was giving Yang Xiaotian a strange look, suddenly, there was a flicker in the sky, like a light dimming and then restoring brightness.


    Everyone was taken aback and instinctively looked up at the sky.


    When everyone looked up, they saw a terrifying mass of thunderclouds appear out of nowhere in the sky.


    The clouds rolled and thunder dragons tumbled.


    The destructive might of the Heavenly Tribtion enveloped the entire Imperial Capital.


    People were terrified.


    Could it be that someone in the Imperial Capital was about to undergo Heavenly Tribtion? Triggering the power of Heavenly Tribtion?


    As many were gripped by fear, suddenly, Wu You, a disciple standing behind Wang Zhou, pointed at Yang Xiaotian as if he had seen a ghost, sputtering, ¡°Him, him, him!¡±


    Wang Zhou couldn¡¯t help but look at Yang Xiaotian, his eyes widening instantly to see that, unbeknownst to them, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was now surrounded by millions of bolts of lightning. Amidst the lightning, there was a huge mass of mes, like a sea of fire, and shockingly, it was grey in color.


    Centered around Yang Xiaotian, a terrifyingly fierce wave of heat swept over Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Divine me!¡± Wang Zhou eximed as if in utter shock, his voice trembling uncontrobly.


    ¡°Holy shit!¡± An Elder from the Empire Pharmacist Hall couldn¡¯t help but curse out loud in extreme excitement.


    At this moment, whether it was Shi Yongping, Long Lan, or Jiu Wu from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, they all stood up.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!¡± Shi Yongping¡¯s lips trembled, tears appearing in his eyes, ¡°It¡¯s the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!¡±


    Subduing a Divine me was almost an impossible feat. Stories of taming a Divine me existed only in distant legends.


    And now, in his lifetime, he was witnessing someone subduing a Divine me!


    Yang Xiaotian stood calmly, with thunderclouds rolling overhead.


    The might of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire covered the sky.


    At this moment, the most ancient and powerful beings sleeping deep beneath thend of the Divine Dragon Empire were startled awake.


    ¡°Who has harnessed the power of the Divine me!¡±


    ¡°Investigate immediately! Who has activated the power of the Divine me!¡±


    Voices rang out above the Supreme Sects of the Empire, one after another.


    Sect Master Hu Nan of the True Dragon Divine Sect was discussing matters about Yang Ling¡¯er with the experts of his sect when suddenly a supreme voice echoed from the sky, ¡°All members of the True Dragon Divine Sect heed mymand, use all of our sect¡¯s power, and find out! Who has harnessed the Divine me!¡±


    Startled by the supreme voice, Hu Nan jumped. This was the most ancient and powerful elder of their sect.


    (So thrilling!)

 Chapter 206 - 206 Brother Xiaotian, I love you too!

    Chapter 206: Brother Xiaotian, I love you too!


    After the shock, Hu Nan¡¯s face changed with surprise, ¡°What! Someone has controlled the Divine me!¡±


    Within the great hall, all the mighty ones from the True Dragon Divine Sect were greatly rmed.


    If someone controlled the Divine me, that would be an immensely serious matter.


    ¡°Investigate! Investigate immediately! Use all our resources to find out who has controlled the Divine me!¡± Hu Nan stood up, eximing excitedly.


    Meanwhile, at the imperial capital¡¯s scene.


    Under the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, the Heaven Burning me of Gu Shaozong, which was about to incinerate the heavens just moments ago, retracted sharply like it had been doused with eternal ice,pletely losing its luster.


    As for Long Xingkong¡¯s Purple Luo Extreme Fire, it had lost all its glow and looked as if it was about to extinguish.


    The Blue Lotus me inside Lan Yi,pletely beyond her control, flew out from her body on its own.


    Li Qianqian¡¯s Abnormal Fire also uncontrobly flew out of her body.


    On-site, every Pharmacist with Abnormal Fire or Spiritual Fire had their fires uncontrobly flying out from within them.


    All the Abnormal and Spiritual Fires bowed in worship to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire as if venerating the supreme monarch.


    This magnificent scene left an unforgettable impression on all the Empire¡¯s Pharmacists present.


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡± someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.


    As everyone looked over, the one shouting was none other than Gu Xi, the prince of the Ancient Sword Kingdom.


    Ignoring the looks from everyone, Gu Xi raised his arm and cried out with emotion, ¡°Divine Yang, I love you!¡±


    Damn!


    Many who saw that Gu Xi was a man nearly sprayed out the Green Lotus Liquor they drank the night before.


    On the president¡¯s tform, Qingxuan was so excited her little face turned red as she waved her delicate arms and shouted, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, I love you too!¡±


    Long Lan nearly stumbled and fell.


    Meanwhile, Gu Shaozong sat copsed on the ground, looking at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire with a face of shock and even despair.


    It turned out not to be one of the top six Abnormal Fires.


    But a Divine me!


    Divine me, how could this be possible!


    How could Yang Xiaotian, a Martial King, tame the Divine me.


    Li Qianqian, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Zhu Xuan, and others were all immensely shocked.


    They had seen the Divine me before, but this was the first time witnessing someone actually taming it.


    ¡°How can this be,¡± Li Qianqian murmured to herself, deeply shaken.


    Yang Xiaotian, whom she considered a disgrace to Pharmacists, had actually tamed a Divine me!


    In her eyes, Gu Shaozong who had controlled the Heaven Burning me and inherited the Medicine God¡¯s legacy had always been the number one among the young generation of Pharmacists in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    He had always been the legendary Pharmacist she admired.


    But now, this very Yang Xiaotian before her had controlled a Divine me.


    Moreover, without using the ten major alchemical techniques, he had created an elixir at the pinnacle of perfection.


    Gu Shaozong, the legendary Pharmacist, waspletely crushed.


    While everyone was shocked by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, Gu Shaozong suddenly cried out frantically, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, so what if you¡¯ve controlled a Divine me, you are still in the Martial King Realm, you still cannot create a Profound Level Elixir!¡±


    ¡°First ce is still mine!¡±


    ¡°And you, you won¡¯t even make it into the top ten thousand!¡±


    Gu Shaozong was hysterical, his voice echoing across the za.


    Everyone exchanged nces.


    They had all been shocked by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and hadn¡¯t thought too much about it, but now, after hearing Gu Shaozong¡¯s words, the crowd fell silent.


    As Gu Shaozong said, even if Yang Xiaotian had controlled the Divine me, he was still just a Martial King; it was impossible for someone in the Martial King Realm to produce a Profound Level Elixir.


    In this Imperial Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian would still be ranked outside the top ten thousand.


    The third round, where there are still over eleven thousand Pharmacistspeting.


    Gu Shaozong sneered viciously, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you tamed the Divine Fire and joined the Empire¡¯s Pharmacistpetition, yet you couldn¡¯t even make it into the top ten thousand. How ironic is that!¡±


    ¡°The annals of the Empire will surely record this event, and you will be ridiculed by sessive generations of experts!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Gu Shaozong, whoughed wildly and viciously, and said calmly, ¡°Who told you that one at the Martial King Realm cannot refine Profound Level Elixirs?¡±


    The crowd was taken aback.


    Hearing this, Gu Shaozongughed loudly to everyone, ¡°Did you all hear that? Yang Xiaotian said that even at the Martial King Realm one can produce Profound Level Elixirs!¡±


    No sooner had he finished speaking than Yang Xiaotian took out more than a hundred types of medicinal herbs.


    These hundred-plus medicinal herbs were exactly the ones needed to create the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, a Profound Level Elixir.


    The Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill is one of the most difficult elixirs to refine among the Profound Level Elixirs.


    It is also the best elixir for enhancing the True Yuan of someone at the Martial Ancestor Realm.


    After taking out the hundred-plus medicinal herbs, Yang Xiaotian waved his right hand, and a strong gale arose, sweeping up the herbs one by one.


    Subsequently, with a wave of his left hand, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire flowed and transformed into a mysterious pattern.


    ¡°Gale Torrential Rain! Medicine Array!¡±


    The crowd was astonished.


    Gale Torrential Rain is one of the ten major alchemical techniques.


    The Medicine Array is the second of the ten major alchemical techniques!


    Yang Xiaotian had actually mastered the Medicine Array, which was the second of the ten major alchemical techniques.


    But what was Yang Xiaotian doing?


    ¡°Could it be that Yang Xiaotian is nning to use two techniques to refine elixir at the same time?¡± a Pharmacist murmured incredulously.


    Using two techniques to refine elixir at the same time!


    That was utterly preposterous.


    Shi Yongping and Long Lan both frowned slightly.


    Using two techniques to refine at once, dividing one¡¯s attention, was harder than one could imagine, and they had never heard of anyone on the Azure God Continent who had managed to refine elixirs using two techniques simultaneously.


    Seeing this, Gu Shaozong coldly sneered, ¡°Seeking your own death!¡±


    Techniques like Gale Torrential Rain and Medicine Array are extremely difficult to control. When using any one of them for alchemy, one must be extremely cautious. If control is lost, one would be bacshed by both the Heaven and Earth Fire and the Abnormal Fire.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian would inevitably lose control and suffer the bacsh of both the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    The power of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire was terrifying; if bacshed, Yang Xiaotian would surely be burned to ashes!


    At that moment, the Formation Map formed by the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire shimmered, absorbing some of the medicinal herbs.


    Under the control of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s left hand, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire slowly overflowed, melting the medicinal herbs bit by bit.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s right hand continuously flicked, and the golden mes of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me entered the gale, melting another part of the medicinal herbs one by one.


    Watching this miraculous scene, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound, fearful of interrupting Yang Xiaotian.


    Even Wang Zhou and his disciple Wu You held their breath, staring unblinkingly at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s movements, not wanting to miss a single detail.


    The scene was utterly silent.


    This was supposed to be the third round ofpetition, yet it had now be a solo alchemy session for Yang Xiaotian.


    However, due to the influence of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, Gu Shaozong and the others were utterly unable to control their Abnormal Fire, Spiritual Fire, or Heaven and Earth Fire, so they could only wait for Yang Xiaotian to finish before anyone could proceed.


    Under the watchful, anxious eyes of all present, the hundred-plus medicinal herbs melted one after another.


    Perhaps it was an illusion of the spectators, but it seemed as though the melted medicinal spiritual liquids hade to life, embracing and merging with each other.


    As more and more medicinal herbs were sessfully melted, Gu Shaozong¡¯s expression became increasingly ugly.


    Just then, suddenly, dark clouds densely covered the sky above.


    It looked like it was about to rain, and moreover, a downpour at that.


    Seeing this, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face lit up with joy.


    The assault of the torrential rain would surely affect Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy process. In such a downpour, no pharmacist could possibly seed in refining an elixir.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attempt at alchemy was bound to fail!

 Chapter 207 - 207 Divine Miracle

    Chapter 207: Divine Miracle


    Shi Yongping, Long Lan, and the others, seeing that a torrential rain wasing, all showed worried expressions on their faces.


    Even Qingxuan was extremely quiet, her face filled with worry.


    Her delicate little hands were tightly sped together, a sign of her nervousness.


    As time went by, the dark clouds in the sky became heavier, and suddenly, a heavy downpour mmed down, turning the whole world a blurry grey in an instant.


    Many people¡¯s vision was so obscured that they could hardly see ten meters ahead.


    Seeing theing deluge, Gu Shaozong couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Shi Yongping furrowed his brows.


    ¡°With such heavy rain, Friend Yang is probably going to lose,¡± Long Lan shook her head.


    Under the assault of the torrential rainfall, the medicinal herbs were like a t boat amid giant waves, on the verge of being swept away when suddenly, the glow around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Medicine Cauldron surged, and an invisible shield was propped up, blocking all the heavy rain high above.


    Gu Shaozong was astonished.


    Shi Yongping and Long Lan, as well as the others, also stared at the Medicine Cauldron in surprise.


    ¡°Can the Grand Hall Master discern the rank of this Medicine Cauldron?¡± Long Lan fixed her eyes intently on the Medicine Cauldron and asked.


    Shi Yongping also watched the Medicine Cauldron with surprise and uncertainty, saying, ¡°Could it be a Holy Artifact?¡±


    Holy Artifact!


    Upon hearing Shi Yongping¡¯s words, everyone on the main stage was taken aback.


    After all, Holy Artifact Cauldron Furnaces were extremely rare, and even the ten Supreme Sects of the Empire didn¡¯t have many.


    But just then, the light from the Medicine Cauldron surged once again, and the torrential rain over the entire Imperial Capital za was sted back into the high skies.


    Shi Yongping, Long Lan, and the others watched, dumbfounded.


    This seemed to be more than just a Holy Artifact?


    With the power of the Medicine Cauldron to support him, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Alchemy was unaffected by the torrential rain, and soon, he hadpletely refined all the medicinal herbs.


    However, the final step was the most difficult.


    It was necessary to fuse the medicinal herbs refined by the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me together.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face was calm as he controlled the various refined medicinal ingredients to drop into the Medicine Cauldron one by one.


    From a distance, these refined medicinal ingredients looked like glittering, translucent pearls, continuously falling from the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Moreover, the interval between the drops of each medicinal ingredient was precisely identical.


    Observing this scene, Shi Yongpingmented, ¡°What a pity, I¡¯m not even married yet!¡±


    The people on the main stage were puzzled.


    Yang Xiaotian is doing Alchemy, and it doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with whether you are married or not.


    ¡°If only I had a daughter,¡± Shi Yongping added.


    As he said this, he nced at Qingxuan, intentionally or otherwise.


    Long Lan, guessing what Shi Yongping was thinking, had lines of exasperation across her forehead.


    Finally, over a hundred kinds of medicinal ingredients had all dripped into the Medicine Cauldron.


    Wrapped by both the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me at the same time, the Medicine Cauldron soon filled with the fragrance of elixirs, and faintly, streaks of green light shone from within the Medicine Cauldron.


    This was undoubtedly a sign that the Elixirs wereplete.


    Seeing this, Gu Shaozong, who had always been entertaining fantasies, went ashen.


    Yang Xiaotian had actually seeded in making them!


    Controlling two types of techniques simultaneously, he had concocted the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    And he did so in the Martial King Realm, breaking an age-old legend.


    ¡°A Divine Miracle!¡± many pharmacists from the various families murmured to themselves upon seeing this.


    To concoct a Profound Level Elixir in the Martial King Realm was nothing short of a divine miracle.


    All present could hardly conceal the shock in their hearts.


    It was as shocking as seeing Yang Xiaotian possessing the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    Just when the crowd was in shock and silence, suddenly, from within the crowd, the prince of Ancient Sword Kingdom, Gu Xi, excitedly shouted again, ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    Thankfully, he didn¡¯t scream ¡°I love you¡± like he did a moment ago; otherwise, many people would have likely spewed out the Green Lotus Liquor they drankst night.


    Qingxuan, who had also been tense, now showed an excited and attractive face, jubnt as she eximed, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you were amazing!¡±


    Still in that coquettish tone.


    This time, Long Lan also revealed a smile.


    Shi Yongping was also beaming with joy.


    Wu Qi, Luo Qing, Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and many other pharmacists were all cheering.


    The entire za was immersed in a sea of joy.


    Wang Zhou¡¯s face turned gloomy and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t celebrate too early, even if Yang Xiaotian has really crafted a Profound Level elixir, it doesn¡¯t guarantee him the championship.¡±


    If Yang Xiaotian can craft a Profound Level elixir, so can Gu Shaozong, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, and others.


    Thus, what ites down to is the quality of the elixir.


    This time, Chen Nian personally stepped forward to appraise Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    At that moment, the torrential rain had stopped, and a rainbow hung high in the sky; the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill in the jade basin radiated waves of azure light, illuminating the surroundings.


    Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the quality of this Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill was definitely not low.


    After careful appraisal, Chen Nian took a deep breath, still exhrated, and pronounced, ¡°It¡¯s top-grade!¡±


    Top-grade!


    Hearing Chen Nian¡¯s appraisal, the crowd buzzed with astonishment.


    One must know the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill is the most difficult to refine among Profound Level elixirs, and even Emperor Realm powerhouses find crafting a superior Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill very challenging.


    Not to mention an excellent or top-grade one.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian, merely at the Martial King Realm, had aplished it.


    Upon hearing ¡°top-grade,¡± Wang Zhou, Gu Shaozong, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Li Qianqian, and others felt a thump in their hearts, as if plunging into an abyss.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face was still vicious as he said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t be too smug. Your Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill is merely top-grade. Right now, I will craft a peak top-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill!¡±


    With that, he took out a Cauldron Furnace.


    This Cauldron Furnace was all golden, with the engravings of a giant Ancient Fierce Beast on it.


    ¡°The Heavenly Beast Cauldron!¡± a pharmacist eximed.


    The Heavenly Beast Cauldron is the strongest Cauldron Furnace of the Ancient Divine Pce, a pinnacle Holy Artifact.


    No one expected that for this pharmacistpetition, the Ancient Divine Pce would actually bring the Heavenly Beast Cauldron for Gu Shaozong.


    A good Cauldron Furnace can significantly enhance the quality of an elixir.


    Seeing Gu Shaozong take out the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Li Qianqian, Zhu Miaomiao, and others also brought out their own Cauldron Furnaces and started refining the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    Gu Shaozong¡¯s hands moved swiftly, employing the Sun Moon Brilliance technique again, simply because it was the most advanced alchemy technique he could handle.


    Initially, everyone was amazed by Gu Shaozong¡¯s Sun Moon Brilliance, but after seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Medicine Array, Gu Shaozong¡¯s technique seemedckluster inparison.


    Gu Shaozong, too, noticed the change in the crowd¡¯s gaze and increased the frequency of his hand movements.


    Upon seeing this, Wang Zhou frowned; Gu Shaozong had clearly lost hisposure, and withposure gone, the oue was easily predictable.


    Indeed, before long, Gu Shaozong¡¯s elixir wasplete, and after being appraised by Chen Nian, it reached only the pinnacle of the excellent grade.


    Seeing his own crafted elixir rated only as the pinnacle of excellent, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face flushed crimson with embarrassment.


    Just moments ago, he had boastfully imed he would produce a peak top-grade pill. Now, he hadn¡¯t even managed to produce a top-grade pill, achieving merely the pinnacle of an excellent one.


    To put it unkindly, it was essentially just excellent.


    Many people, seeing that even with the use of the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, Gu Shaozong had only managed to produce a pill at the pinnacle of the excellent grade, shook their heads in disappointment.


    ¡°Talking about having inherited the Medicine God¡¯s legacy, yet he can¡¯t even refine a top-grade elixir,¡± someone said, shaking their head.


    The voice wasn¡¯t loud, but when it reached Gu Shaozong¡¯s ears, it was like thunder from the Nine Heavens.


    Furious, he looked towards the speaker.

 Chapter 208: The Second Medicine God of Our Empire!

    Chapter 208: The Second Medicine God of Our Empire!


    The one who spoke was an elder d in grey.


    An Ancient Divine Pce disciple angrily said, ¡°My senior brother¡¯s expertise in the Medicine Path is unmatched, how can an ant like youment on it!¡± With that, he reached out with a w toward the grey-clothed elder¡¯s shoulder.


    But before he could touch the grey-clothed elder¡¯s shoulder, he was sent flying by the elder.


    The crowd was astonished.


    That disciple of the Ancient Divine Pce was someone of the Supreme Emperor Realm, and yet, he was sent flying without a trace.


    Moreover, none of the onlookers, including Shi Yongping and Long Lan, saw how the grey-clothed elder made his move.


    After sending the Ancient Divine Pce disciple flying, the grey-clothed elder praised Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Little fe, you¡¯re called Yang Xiaotian, right? You are quite impressive. My name is Fu Xiangming.¡±


    ¡°We will meet again in the future.¡±


    With that, he turned and left, suddenly disappearing from everyone¡¯s sight.


    The crowd watched as the grey-clothed elder disappeared, all with their eyes wide with shock.


    Fu Xiangming? Jiu Wu of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect initially looked puzzled, but then he suddenly recalled an ancient being, and his face changed drastically, ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±


    Shi Yongping, Long Lan, Wang Zhou, and others also remembered who Fu Xiangming was and were simrly shocked.


    ¡°This old monster, he¡¯s still alive!¡± Zhao Jinzhou of the Sky-Stepping Sect said in amazement.


    Many experts from various ns at the scene had not heard of this Fu Xiangming, but seeing the expressions of Jiu Wu, Shi Yongping, Zhao Jinzhou, and others, they too were surprised.


    This grey-clothed elder, Fu Xiangming, seemed to be a remarkable figure.


    ¡°Elder, who is this Fu Xiangming?¡± A core disciple of the Sky-Stepping Sect couldn¡¯t help but ask Zhao Jinzhou, puzzled.


    But Zhao Jinzhou just shook his head, refusing to discuss it further.


    It seemed that Fu Xiangming was a taboo subject, not to be mentioned lightly.


    Yang Xiaotian was also puzzled, but now was not the right time to inquire. After thepetition was over, once they returned, he decided to ask the Azure Thunder Python.


    See if Old Meng knew about this Fu Xiangming.


    In the end, the third round of thepetition came to a close.


    Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Li Qianqian, and others had not managed to refine the Ultimate Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    Yang Xiaotian indisputably won the championship of this Empire Pharmacist Competition.


    Shi Yongping personally delivered the champion¡¯s rewards to Yang Xiaotian, including Spirit Stones, Elixirs, a set of top-grade Profound Instruments, and the Earth me.


    Wang Zhou watched as Yang Xiaotian took the Earth me, his face dark as water.


    This Earth me was something he had coveted for years.


    Unfortunately, he had never been able to subdue it.


    And now it had fallen into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands!


    ¡°Friend Yang, are you interested in joining our Empire Pharmacist Hall?¡± As soon as Yang Xiaotian epted his prizes, Shi Yongping asked with a smile, anxious that Yang Xiaotian might refuse.


    To make the offer more appealing, Shi Yongping added with a smile, ¡°Joining the Empire Pharmacist Halles with many conveniences, such as purchasing medicinal ingredients and studying the Alchemy Secret Manual of the Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    Before Yang Xiaotian could speak, Wang Zhou objected, ¡°Yang Xiaotian killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, special stewards of our Empire Pharmacist Hall, making him a wanted criminal of our hall!¡±


    ¡°How can a wanted criminal join our Empire Pharmacist Hall!¡±


    ¡°I disagree!¡±


    Wang Zhou¡¯s words were final, his eyes filled with murder.


    Shi Yongping looked at Wang Zhou, his eyes turning cold, ¡°Yang Xiaotian is a wanted criminal? I wasn¡¯t aware of that. Since when does a Great Elder like you have the authority to arbitrarily dere someone a wanted criminal?¡±


    Wang Zhou faltered, ¡°Regardless, I do not agree!¡±


    Shi Yongping cut him off directly, ¡°Your disagreement is invalid!¡±


    With rage in his eyes but feeling helpless, Wang Zhou had no recourse.


    Even though he was a Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall and considered the sessor for the position of the next Grand Hall Master, it was not yet the case.


    ¡°Friend Yang, what do you think?¡± Shi Yongping turned his head, his smile spreading, and asked Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded: ¡°I am willing to join the Empire Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    Wang Zhou didn¡¯t want him to join, but he insisted on joining.


    It would surely infuriate him.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian nodding, Shi Yongping was beyond excited,ughing heartily: ¡°Good, Friend Yang joining our Empire Pharmacist Hall is indeed a stroke of fortune for us! Should you have any requests in the future, you cane to me.¡±


    Long Lan, standing to the side, also smiled: ¡°Congrattions to the Grand Hall Master, congrattions to Friend Yang.¡±


    Qingxuan stepped forward, her youthful face radiant, her eyes sparkling as she smiled: ¡°Congrattions, Brother Xiaotian!¡± She thenughingly said, ¡°You have to treat me to barbecue tonight.¡±


    Barbecue?


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, thenughed: ¡°Alright.¡±


    After that, Chen Nian distributed the rewards to the top ten of the Pharmacist Competition.


    As for Gu Shaozong, he didn¡¯t even make the top ten, ranking in the teens.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, and others step forward to receive their awards, Gu Shaozong clenched his fists tightly, feeling an urge to strangle a bull.


    The Empire Pharmacist Competition finally came to a close.


    In the hall of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Hu Nan paced back and forth, casting anxious nces toward the outside of the hall from time to time.


    ¡°Sect Master!¡± Just then, True Dragon Divine Sect Elder Jiang Lin came running in, bursting with excitement: ¡°Found out who controlled the Divine me, it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian! He¡¯s Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s brother!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian! Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s brother!


    Hu Nan¡¯s eyes widened, then he became extremely excited: ¡°Ling¡¯er¡¯s brother? Are you sure?¡±


    ¡°Positive!¡± Jiang Lin said excitedly, smiling: ¡°Today at the Empire Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire in public and refined a Profound Level elixir while in the Martial King Realm!¡±


    ¡°Grand Hall Master Shi Yongping said that within a century, this young man will certainly be the second Medicine God of our Empire!¡±


    Hu Nan¡¯s mouth fell open: ¡°Refined a Profound Level elixir in the Martial King Realm? Our Empire¡¯s second Medicine God?!¡±


    ¡°Yes, he controlled both the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me simultaneously, and used the Medicine Array with Gale Torrential Rain for alchemy, crafting the top-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, and won first ce in this Pharmacist Competition!¡± Jiang Lin fired off his words like a machine gun, his lips quivering with excitement.


    Controlling both the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me simultaneously!


    Using the Medicine Array and Gale Torrential Rain at the same time!


    This is such a significant piece of information!


    Hu Nan was so bombarded that he was at a loss for a moment.


    ¡°What about Gu Shaozong?¡± Hu Nan remembered Gu Shaozong and couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Before this Empire Pharmacist Competition, everyone believed that Gu Shaozong would take first ce.


    Upon hearing the question, Jiang Lin¡¯s expression became strange as he said: ¡°Gu Shaozong only crafted a near-perfect grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, and didn¡¯t even make it into the top ten, ranking eleventh.¡±


    Ranked eleventh?


    Hu Nan was stunned.


    Not first? And had actually dropped to eleventh? A ten was directly added before his rank.


    ¡°Sect Master, should we report this to the ancient ancestor?¡± Seeing Hu Nan stupefied, Jiang Lin couldn¡¯t help but remind him.


    Their True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s most ancient and powerful ancestor had been waiting for news.


    Hu Nan suddenly snapped back to reality: ¡°Right, right, right, I¡¯ll report to the ancient ancestor now!¡± With that, he rushed out of the hall at the speed of a super rocket, causing a mighty gust of wind.


    However, as he bolted out of the hall, he crashed into the mighty doors, causing a resounding ng.


    Jiang Lin stared at the skewed hall doors for a long while, speechless.


    Then there was another thunderous noise.


    Frightened, Jiang Lin stepped out of the hall, just in time to see Hu Nan charging past, leaving arge gap in the mountain ahead.

 Chapter 209: What a Pity, a Level 11 Martial Soul!

    Chapter 209: What a Pity, a Level 11 Martial Soul!


    Not only was Jiang Lin startled, but so were the million disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Upon hearing the thunderous boom, nearly all the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect rushed out.


    However, when they saw the huge gap that had been made in the mountain, their minds were filled with a long line of question marks.


    ¡°Did the Sect Master get drunk today?¡± a core disciple spected.


    ¡°The Sect Master never drinks.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Sect Master¡¯s wife is¡­?¡± a male disciple guessed.


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who is¡­!¡± a female disciple retorted with angry eyes.


    ¡°Did the Sect Master practice the True Dragon Divine Technique and lose control?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s lost control! Your whole body is on fire!¡±


    As the disciples spected among themselves, Hu Nan rushed all the way to the cave dwelling of the oldest and most powerful ancestor of their True Dragon Divine Sect.


    At this moment, Hu Nan¡¯s mind was still in aplete muddle.


    He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then stood in front of the cave dwelling, bowing deeply, ¡°Disciple Hu Nan has made clear the matter of the Divine me and hase to report to the ancestor.¡±


    ¡°Oh, who! Who is it that has mastered the power of the Divine me!¡± An excited voice rose from inside the cave dwelling, followed by a distortion in the air, and an old man with silver hair appeared before Hu Nan.


    This silver-haired elder was none other than Li Zhengqing, the oldest and most powerful ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Seeing Li Zhengqing himself appear, Hu Nan quickly bowed deeply again and said, ¡°It is a child named Yang Xiaotian, the brother of my newly epted disciple, Yang Ling¡¯er!¡±


    ¡°What, Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s brother!¡± After the surprise, Li Zhengqing was exceptionally delighted.


    Hu Nan had epted a disciple named Yang Ling¡¯er a few days ago, and he was aware of it.


    After all, Yang Ling¡¯er had a level fourteen Martial Soul.


    ¡°Yes, he has mastered the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!¡± Hu Nan also said excitedly, ¡°Today he participated in the Empire Pharmacist Competition, summoned the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, and, with the strength of the Martial King Realm, he crafted a Profound Level Elixir!¡±


    ¡°And he won first ce in this Empire Pharmacist Competition!¡±


    ¡°The Grand Master of Pharmacists said that in a hundred years, this child will surely be the second Medicine God of our Empire!¡±


    Hu Nan excitedly reported the news he had just received from Jiang Lin.


    Li Zhengqing¡¯s eyes, originally only as big as peanuts, grew wider and wider as he listened, eventually bing as round as dragon¡¯s eyes, ¡°To craft a Profound Level Elixir at the Martial King Realm! Our Empire¡¯s future second Medicine God!¡±


    Hu Nan said, ¡°Yes, and he also controls the Ninth Abnormal Fire, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he used a Medicine Array and the Gale Torrential Rain, two of the top ten Alchemy techniques, to craft his elixirs!¡±


    ¡°And he crafted a top-quality Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill in less than half an hour!¡±


    ¡°And also!¡±


    And also what?


    The excited Hu Nan had rattled off several ¡°and also¡±s.


    When he got to the fourth ¡°and also,¡± he paused, stuck for words.


    Li Zhengqing¡¯s eyes, initially peanut-sized, had swollen to dragon-round size, and now he widened them even further. Using two of the top ten Alchemy techniques at the same time to craft elixirs? And in less than half an hour, crafting a top-quality Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill!


    Even the Ninth Abnormal Fire, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, is under his control!


    ¡°And also what?¡± Li Zhengqing, hearing Hu Nan suddenly stop, asked urgently.


    The stuck Hu Nan took a deep breath and said, ¡°And also, he is not even ten years old.¡±


    Not even ten years old!


    Li Zhengqing felt as if something was stuck in his throat.


    ¡°What about his Martial Dao talent?¡± After a while, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Hu Nan said excitedly, ¡°He has condensed five Nine-Colored Sword Hearts and recently activated the second area of the Imperial Capital¡¯s Sword Dao Roulette.¡±


    This incident was already known by many Supreme Sects.


    After all, up to this point, no one has been able to activate the second area of the Sword Dao Roulette.


    Except for Yang Xiaotian several days ago.


    Five Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!


    Li Zhengqing¡¯s slender body trembled greatly again.


    ¡°Moreover, he has cultivated the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique, Shocking Heaven Sword Art, Burying Heaven Sword Technique, and Skywalking Thousand Swords, four Supreme Divine Powers, to the level of Summit Mastery,¡± Hu Nan said. ¡°This child will certainly be able to condense a top-quality pinnacle Golden Core in the future.¡±


    Many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect are able to condense top-quality Golden Cores, but very few can condense top-quality pinnacle Golden Cores.


    ¡°Only,¡± Hu Nan hesitated before adding, ¡°the only pity is that his Martial Soul is of the eleventh level.¡±


    Li Zhengqing was astonished. ¡°Eleventh-level Martial Soul?¡±


    Originally, he thought Yang Xiaotian was at least a twelfth-level Martial Soul.


    Hu Nan nodded. ¡°Yes, but his is a twin eleventh-level Martial Soul, one being an upper eleventh-level ck Sea Divine Turtle Martial Soul and the other being the top eleventh-level Nether Hell Snake!¡±


    Li Zhengqing sighed deeply, finding it regrettable.


    Although twin eleventh-level Martial Souls are not bad, for a colossal empire like the True Dragon Divine Sect, one of the empire¡¯s ten Supreme Sects, they seem rather ordinary.


    Despite the pity, Li Zhengqing still said, ¡°Use every possible method to recruit Yang Xiaotian as a disciple of our True Dragon Divine Sect and cultivate him well!¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Hu Nan said respectfully.


    Li Zhengqing turned and returned to his cave dwelling to continue his arduous cultivation in seclusion.


    His True Dragon Divine Technique had been cultivated to the eighteenthyer¡¯s peak, and he nned to break through to the neenthyer.


    Once he broke through to the neenthyer, his strength would ascend another level.


    Watching Li Zhengqing return to his cave dwelling, Hu Nan also sighed privately, thinking about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    He could tell that Li Zhengqing originally wanted to take Yang Xiaotian as his disciple, but upon learning that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was only eleventh level, he eventually dismissed the idea.


    ¡°What a pity!¡± Hu Nan shook his head.


    Yang Xiaotian, whether it be his Alchemy talent or Martial Dao talent, was monstrously iparable, but his Martial Soul was unfortunately not up to expectations.


    Night fell.


    In the yard of the Azure Dragon Residence, a campfire was lit, the scent of roasting meat was intoxicating.


    The liquor was brewed by Yang Xiaotian himself.


    Everyone sat around the campfire in high spirits, amidstughter and chat.


    Long Lan and Qingxuan also came to the Azure Dragon Residence¡¯s campfire party.


    Qingxuan sat next to Yang Xiaotian, propping her delicate, soft, little pale hands on her cheek, asionally ncing at him, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.


    Ever since they parted in the Red Moon Forestst time, she had been constantly thinking about Brother Xiaotian during the past few months.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you have been in the Imperial Capital for so many days, yet you never came to visit me,¡± Qingxuan pouted, somewhat annoyed.


    Yet even when angry, she still looked irresistibly cute.


    Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°I was nning to visit you in the Imperial Pce after the Pharmacistpetition.¡±


    Qingxuan then turned joyful again and said sweetly with a smile, ¡°I knew Brother Xiaotian hadn¡¯t forgotten me.¡±


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying sat there, looking at Qingxuan who was sitting next to Yang Xiaotian, feeling that the more they looked at this young girl, the more beautiful she became.


    They had never imagined that their son would know the Princess of their Divine Dragon Empire¡ªnot the Divine Sea Country, nor the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    As the group chatted, the conversation inevitably turned to the auction at the Xueluo Commerce Assembly the next day, talking about the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian also intended to bid for the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Long Lan was startled, seemingly not expecting Yang Xiaotian to be so wealthy, and he pondered. ¡°Friend Yang, if you want to win the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, I¡¯m afraid it will be quite difficult!¡±


    He said, ¡°As far as I know, this time Sky-Stepping Sect and Green Lotus Tavern both have set their minds on obtaining the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water at all costs!¡±


    With these two behemoths bidding, the price of the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water will surely skyrocket to a terrifying extent.

 Chapter 210: Storm is Brewing

    Chapter 210: Storm is Brewing


    Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t surprised to hear Long Lan say that the Sky-Stepping Sect and the Green Lotus Tavern were both determined to get the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    For a peerless treasure like the Sixfold Heavenly Thunder Water, it was normal for the Sky-Stepping Sect and the Green Lotus Tavern to be resolutely set on acquiring it.


    ¡°Uncle Lan, how many top-grade Spirit Stones do you think it will take to win the auction for the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Long Lan pondered and said, ¡°The starting bid is ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, but to sessfully win it, it will probably take a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!¡±


    ¡°A hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!¡± Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and others shuddered at the number when they heard it.


    Xiao Jin raised its paw, carefully counting with its fingers: ¡°Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, that¡¯s a trillion Gold Coins, a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, that¡¯s a hundred trillion Gold Coins!¡±


    ¡°A lollipop is one silver coin.¡±


    How many lollipops would that be?


    Yang Xiaotian listened to Xiao Jin carefully calcting and was speechless. This little guy, now whenever it came to money, the first thing it thought of was lollipops.


    ¡°A hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.¡± Yang Xiaotian had also estimated before, and the number was about this figure.


    The Blood Dragon Spirit Vein he had obtained in the Red Moon Forest before could be cut into more than a million top-grade Spirit Stones, so he wasn¡¯t worried about the issue of money.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s silence, Long Lan thought he was short of money and said, ¡°Friend Yang, if you don¡¯t have enough money, our Divine Dragon Empire can lend it to you first.¡±


    Like Shi Yongping, he believed that a hundred years from now, Yang Xiaotian would be the second Medicine God of the Empire.


    Now was a good opportunity to court Yang Xiaotian¡¯s favor.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Lan. If I need it, I will speak to you,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    Long Lan nodded with a smile. He looked at Yang Xiaotian illuminated by the campfire lights and was filled with emotion. A few months ago, in the Red Moon Forest, when he first saw Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian had not been worthy of his notice.


    Who would have thought, a few monthster, that their Divine Dragon Empire would even need to win over Yang Xiaotian.


    While Yang Xiaotian and the others were roasting meat and drinking, Wang Zhou was sitting in his mansion, drinking sullenly.


    Thinking of Yang Xiaotian summoning the Divine me during the day, while simultaneouslyying out the Medicine Array and refining pills with Gale Torrential Rain, a strong murderous intent appeared in Wang Zhou¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Master.¡± Seeing Wang Zhou in a bad mood, his disciple Wu You spoke cautiously: ¡°I just got the news. Long Lan has taken His Highness to the Azure Dragon Residence; it looks like the Divine Dragon Empire wants to win over Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Zhou snorted coldly, ¡°So what if he subdued the Divine me? Does he really think Yang Xiaotian will be the Medicine God in the future? What a joke! There may be many who want to win him over, but there are even more now who want him dead!¡±


    Like the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect!


    They must kill Yang Xiaotian!


    ¡°Whether Yang Xiaotian can even survive this year is still uncertain!¡± Wang Zhou said with a coldugh.


    ¡°Master, shall we take action?¡± Wu You asked.


    ¡°No need, we just watch and wait,¡± Wang Zhou said. ¡°I dare say that once Yang Xiaotian leaves the Imperial Capital, he¡¯s a dead man!¡±


    He looked at the peaceful night of the Imperial Capital and muttered, ¡°A storm ising!¡±


    The night grew deeper.


    As it turnedte, Long Lan took Qingxuan back to the Imperial Pce.


    Initially, Qingxuan wanted to stay at the Azure Dragon Residence, but in the end, Long Lan dragged her back to the Imperial Pce.


    The campfire went out.


    The crowd dispersed.


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to his own courtyard, he didn¡¯t cultivate; instead, he summoned the Azure Thunder Python and inquired about the matter with Fu Xiangming today.


    ¡°Old Fu, I know of him,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said. ¡°Young master, do you know of the Divine Rank?¡±


    ¡°The Divine Rank?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, puzzled, shaking his head.


    The Azure Thunder Python exined, ¡°In our Divine Dragon Empire, we have the Emperor Rank, Divine Rank.¡±


    ¡°The Emperor Rank consists of a thousand top warriors from the Emperor Realm, while the Saint Rank consists of a hundred elite warriors from the Saint Realm.¡±


    ¡°To be on the Emperor Rank means you are one of the strongest in the Emperor Realm; to be on the Saint Rank, you are among the strongest in the Saint Realm.¡±


    ¡°This Elder Fu used to be one of the top ten warriors on the Saint Rank.¡±


    ¡°To be precise, he was among the top ten of the previous Saint Rank.¡±


    Emperor Rank, Saint Rank?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart stirred, ¡°The top ten from the previous Saint Rank?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python nodded and said, ¡°Under normal circumstances, the Emperor Rank is renewed every thirty years, and the Saint Rank every hundred years. Both ranks are issued by the Tianchen Pavilion.¡±


    The Tianchen Pavilion, like the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Ancient Divine Pce, and the True Dragon Divine Sect, is one of the ten Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.¡±


    ¡°If Fu Xiangming made it into the top ten of the Saint Rank, does that mean his strength is at the peak of the Saint Realm?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Yes, more than a hundred years ago, he had already reached the peak of the Saint Realm. However, there are still different levels of strength within the Saint Realm Peak,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°For example, Elder Zhu Jing is one of the strongest at the peak of the Saint Realm.¡±


    ¡°What about the Divine Rank?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    The Azure Thunder Python shook its head, ¡°There are too few in the Divine Spirit Realm; you could count them on one hand, so there is no Divine Rank.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian did not inquire further about the Saint Rank. It was still too far off for him. What he needed to focus on now was to master the Supreme Divine Power and condense the strongest Golden Core.


    The next day.


    The sun shone brightly.


    Knowing that Yang Xiaotian was also going to attend Xueluo Commerce Assembly¡¯s auction event, Qingxuan came to find Yang Xiaotian early.


    Long Lan saw that Qingxuan couldn¡¯t wait to stay by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side and shook her head, realizing that her niece was growing up and wouldn¡¯t stay by her side forever.


    However, this niece of his, who had always been reluctant to get close to others since her mother¡¯s incident, was now so clingy to Yang Xiaotian, which surprised Long Lan.


    Long Lan, Qingxuan, Yang Xiaotian, and others arrived at Xueluo Commerce Assembly. Wu Qing, the branch president of the Assembly, came out from afar to wee them. With utmost enthusiasm, he ushered Yang Xiaotian and his group into the Association.


    Soon after, Wang Zhou, Long Xingkong, Zhu Xuan, Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, and others also arrived.


    Wang Zhou, Long Xingkong, and the others did not have a friendly look upon seeing Yang Xiaotian.


    Especially Gu Shaozong, whose eyes were as cold as the depths of a winter chasm.


    The True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Ancestor Liang Yafei also arrived with his disciple Zhu Miaomiao.


    Liang Yafei, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, actively nodded and greeted him with a smile, appearing quite friendly.


    In contrast, his disciple Zhu Miaomiao put on a sullen face, as if Yang Xiaotian owed her several billions.


    As the various powerhouses arrived, the auction event quicklymenced.


    The sixyered Tribtion Thunder Water and the True Dragon Bead were the finale treasures and would be auctionedst. The initial items up for auction were various Spirit Pills, Spiritual Medicines, and Supreme Divine Power Secret Tomes.


    Spirit Pills, Spiritual Medicines, Supreme Divine Power¡ªYang Xiaotian had little interest in these three things; he had no shortage of them. He had already practiced over a hundred Supreme Divine Powers, which was plenty.


    After all, biting off more than one can chew is not advisable.


    After auctioning off more than twenty items, atst, the finale treasure, the True Dragon Bead, began its auction.


    Wu Qing personally moderated the auction and presented the True Dragon Bead. The entire auction hall lit up with brightness. The bead, the size of two fists, glimmered brilliantly, filled with surging Dragon Essence, as vast as the sea.


    On seeing the True Dragon Bead, many people¡¯s eyes zed with desire.


    ¡°This True Dragon Bead is from a Divine Spirit Realm Golden Dragon from the ancient times,¡± Wu Qing introduced to the crowd with a smile.


    The crowd stirred upon hearing this.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually the Dragon Ball of a Divine Spirit Realm Golden Dragon!¡± Both Wang Zhou and Jiu Wu, hearing the introduction, were greatly moved.


    Ordinary Dragon Balls did not interest them, but a Dragon Ball from the Divine Spirit Realm was a different matter altogether, especially one from the king of the Long n, the Golden Dragon.

 Chapter 211 - 211 The Last Treasure

    Chapter 211: The Last Treasure


    ¡°Moreover, we specte that this Golden Dragon powerhouse definitely hasn¡¯t just broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm.¡± Wu Qing, seeing everyone greatly excited, smiled and said, ¡°He should be at the seventh level of the Divine Spirit Realm or even stronger!¡±


    The seventh level of the Divine Spirit Realm, or even stronger!


    A group of powerful characters were even more shocked.


    Even the Azure Thunder Python within the Medicine Cauldron couldn¡¯t contain its excitement.


    The stronger the Golden Dragon powerhouse¡¯s strength, the more concentrated its Dragon Ball¡¯s Dragon Essence would be, and thus the higher the chance for it and the ck Flood Dragon King to achieve Bloodline Return to Ancestry.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, do you also want to bid for this True Dragon Bead?¡± Qingxuan noticed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s changing expression and asked.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and said, ¡°I came to this auction specifically for the Dragon Ball and the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Long Lan was surprised and smiled, ¡°Friend Yang wants this True Dragon Bead, then I will bid for it and give it to you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Lan,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a wave of his hand and a smile, ¡°But there¡¯s no need, the money I have should be enough.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Long Lan did not insist. However, he was quite curious as to how Yang Xiaotian came by so much money.


    After Wu Qing gave a detailed introduction of the True Dragon Bead, he announced, ¡°The starting bid for this True Dragon Bead is one million low-grade Spirit Stones, and each raise must be no less than ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    One million low-grade Spirit Stones!


    Although it couldn¡¯tpare to the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, it was still a staggering amount.


    Many of the eager masters in attendance softened when they heard this.


    They just couldn¡¯t muster the strength topete.


    ¡°One million one hundred thousand!¡± As soon as Wu Qing finished speaking, Wang Zhou couldn¡¯t wait to call out.


    ¡°One million two hundred thousand!¡± Jiu Wu immediately followed.


    ¡°Two million!¡± The patriarch of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Zhao Jinzhou, dered authoritatively.


    Neither Wang Zhou nor Jiu Wu expected Zhao Jinzhou to raise the price to two million all of a sudden, causing them to hesitate.


    ¡°Two million five hundred thousand!¡± Suddenly, the patriarch of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Liang Yafei, spoke up.


    ¡°Three million.¡± Yang Xiaotian, who had been quiet until now, immediately followed with a bid.


    Everyone was astonished.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian together with Long Lan, everyone thought that Yang Xiaotian was just apanying Long Lan to gain some experience.


    No one expected Yang Xiaotian to participate in the bidding.


    Afterward, when people remembered that Yang Xiaotian had a ck Flood Dragon, they understood. Yang Xiaotian was bidding for the Dragon Ball, presumably for his ck Flood Dragon.


    Zhu Miaomiao, standing behind Liang Yafei, saw Yang Xiaotian keep up with the bidding and said to Liang Yafei, ¡°Master, this Yang Xiaotian following right behind you in the bidding is clearly trying to embarrass you!¡±


    Upon hearing her, Liang Yafei shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°Four million!¡± Wang Zhou red coldly at Yang Xiaotian and dered.


    Yang Xiaotian remainedposed, ¡°Five million!¡±


    ¡°Six million!¡± Wang Zhou said, his expression darkening as he shouted.


    ¡°Seven million!¡± Yang Xiaotian said calmly.


    Wang Zhou was now visibly angry, ¡°Eight million!¡±


    ¡°Ten million!¡± Yang Xiaotian said, unfazed.


    Ten million!


    The entire hall fell silent.


    Wang Zhou, who had not given up on challenging Yang Xiaotian, stopped, his expression turning ugly.


    Although the True Dragon Bead was a treasure, its uses were limited, being suitable mainly for Alchemy or the cultivation of Mount Beasts. Exceeding ten million was simply not worth it.


    ¡°Master, this True Dragon Bead, although left by an ancient Golden Dragon powerhouse, has leaked much of its Dragon Essence over countless years, making it no different than an empty shell. Yang Xiaotian paid 10 million for it, which is simply the height of stupidity. There¡¯s no need for us topete with such a fool.¡± Wang Zhou¡¯s disciple, Wu You, spoke up.


    Wu You¡¯s voice was not soft, and everyone present could hear him clearly.


    Wang Zhou, with a smile lighting up his face, said, ¡°You¡¯re right, no need topete with a fool like him!¡±


    He nced at Yang Xiaotian andughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think that with this True Dragon Bead your ck Flood Dragon can evolve into a Divine Beast? That¡¯s just a huge joke!¡±


    ¡°If Divine Beasts were so easy to evolve, then they¡¯d be everywhere under the heavens.¡±


    Qingxuan, however, chuckled and said, ¡°Elder Wang, if you have no money to bid, my Brother Xiaotian can lend you some.¡±


    Wang Zhou¡¯s face turned as red as purple. He, with no money to bid?


    Yet the person who had spoken was none other than Qingxuan.


    Even with a rage boiling inside him, he had to hold it in.


    Holding it in won¡¯t kill him!


    The president of the Xueluo Commerce Assembly, Wu Qing, spoke with augh, ¡°Friend Yang bids 10 million inferior-grade Spirit Stones. If there is no higher offer, then this True Dragon Bead will belong to Friend Yang.¡±


    In the end, no one else bid, and the True Dragon Bead went to Yang Xiaotian.


    10 million inferior-grade Spirit Stones, that¡¯s 1,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones. However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Blood Dragon Spirit Vein contained Blood Dragon Spirit Energy, and these superior-grade Spirit Stones could be exchanged for ten ordinary superior-grade Spirit Stones each.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian only needed to give 100 Blood Dragon Spirit Stones.


    When Yang Xiaotian took out the 100 Blood Dragon Spirit Stones, the entire hall surged with Blood Dragon Spirit Energy, and the shadow of a blood dragon faintly appeared.


    ¡°Blood Dragon Spirit Stones!¡± The crowd was shocked to see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Blood Dragon Spirit Stones.


    Even Long Lan was greatly taken aback.


    Observing Yang Xiaotian about to hand over these Blood Dragon Spirit Stones to the Xueluo Commerce Assembly, Long Lan eximed urgently, ¡°Wait!¡± and then, desperate, he said, ¡°Friend Yang, how about I exchange these 100 Blood Dragon Spirit Stones with you for 10 million inferior-grade Spirit Stones?¡±


    Taken by surprise by Long Lan¡¯s eagerness, Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and said, ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Much appreciated!¡± Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s agreement, Long Lan was overjoyed and immediately took out 10 million inferior-grade Spirit Stones to exchange for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Blood Dragon Spirit Stones.


    Long Lan took the Blood Dragon Spirit Stones and carefully stored them away as if they were precious treasures.


    ¡°Uncle Lan, how many superior-grade Spirit Stones do you have on you?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.


    Long Lan didn¡¯t immediately grasp what Yang Xiaotian meant.


    Yang Xiaotian produced a Space Ring and opened it, unleashing a tsunami of Blood Dragon Spirit Energy that shook the entire hall.


    Long Lan, along with everyone else, stared in astonishment at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Space Ring.


    Even Wu Qing was startled.


    Inside Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Space Ring, there were at least 20,000 Blood Dragon Spirit Stones!


    As president of the Xueluo Commerce Assembly chapter, even he had never seen so many dragon-rted superior-grade Spirit Stones before.


    Wang Zhou, Jiu Wu, Zhao Jinzhou, and others couldn¡¯t help but gawk at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Space Ring, their eyes green with envy, like hungry wolves.


    As for Long Xingkong, Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, Zhu Miaomiao, and the rest, it goes without saying.


    ¡°Uncle Lan.¡± Yang Xiaotian called out to Long Lan.


    ¡°I have some, I have some.¡± Trembling, Long Lan hastily produced all the superior-grade Spirit Stones he had and exchanged them for another 20,000 Blood Dragon Spirit Stones from Yang Xiaotian.


    Clutching the 20,000 Blood Dragon Spirit Stones, Long Lan¡¯s breathing became rapid, and his hands couldn¡¯t stop shaking.


    It took a while for Wu Qing toe back to his senses and continue the auction.


    However, for the remainder of the auction, he couldn¡¯t focus, repeatedly calling out the wrong item.


    After a few more items were auctioned, Wu Qing took a deep breath and said, ¡°Next, we will auction thest treasure, Sixfold Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    With these words, he took out an ancient-looking pot and opened the spout, instantly causing lightning to rise and thunder to crackle above in the hall, as the destructive power of lightning swept through everything.

 Chapter 212: Visit of the Green Lotus Tower Master

    Chapter 212: Visit of the Green Lotus Tower Master


    Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!


    Seeing Wu Qing take out the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, everyone¡¯s gaze was glued to the pot of Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    This time, all the supreme powers hade for the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Ordinary Tribtion Thunder Water already had the miraculous effects of Cleansing Marrow Washing Tendons and strengthening vitality, not to mention the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    The Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water even boasted the divine effect of bringing the dead back to life.


    It was rumored that as long as one who was below the Divine Spirit Realm still drew breath, just a sip of Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water would prevent death.


    Although it might be an exaggeration, it still showed the miraculousness of the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    The pot of Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water being auctioned might not have been plentiful, but Yang Xiaotian estimated it had twenty to thirty sips.


    It was surely enough for Master Ding to subdue the Super Divine Beast, the Iceme Kylin.


    This time, it was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s turn to greedily fix his eyes on that pot of Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    In his eyes, it wasn¡¯t just the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, but rather a Super Divine Beast, the Iceme Kylin.


    A peak-level creature of the Saint Realm, with strength that might even surpass that of the Divine Spirit Realm¡¯s Azure Thunder Python.


    It was simply a superb enforcer.


    At that time, with the Azure Python on the left and the Kylin on the right, how impressive that would be.


    Wu Qing, looking at the Tribtion Thunder Water in front of him, was equally excited, ¡°This pot of Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water has been consigned to the house for auction by a supreme expert. This senior only desires top-grade Spirit Stones. The miraculous effects of the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, I believe, are known to all without my having to say more.¡±


    ¡°For this item, the starting bid is ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, with each increment of no less than one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones,¡± Wu Qing said without any further ado.


    However, as soon as Wu Qing finished speaking, no one made a sound.


    Momentarily, an eerie silence fell over the hall.


    Yet ultimately, Zhao Jinzhou from the Sky-Stepping Sect couldn¡¯t contain himself and spoke up first, ¡°Fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!¡±


    Hiss!


    Hearing Zhao Jinzhou instantly raise the price to fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, many powerhouses drew a sharp breath.


    A moment ago, they were looking at the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water with burning desire, but now, their excitement had been extinguished.


    Nevertheless, many understood that Zhao Jinzhou did this to discourage too many from joining the bidding, thereby severing the thoughts of many on the spot.


    ¡°Fifty thousand and one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones,¡± Li Qianqian from the Green Lotus Tavern said amidst the silence of the crowd.


    Seeing Li Qianqian speak, many furrowed their brows.


    Everyone was well aware of the wealth of the Green Lotus Tavern. When it came to wealth, it was feared that neither the Sky-Stepping Sect nor the Divine Dragon Empire couldpare to the deep pockets of the Green Lotus Tavern.


    If the Green Lotus Tavern was determined to acquire the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, then there was little chance for the others topete.


    As if reading the thoughts of the crowd, Li Qianqian spoke up, ¡°Everyone, my Green Lotus Tavern is determined to get this Tribtion Thunder Water.¡± She added, ¡°It is personally sought by our ancestor.¡±


    Hearing Li Qianqian mention the ancestor, everyone¡¯s heart shook violently, their faces filled with fear.


    Even Long Lan, who had been breathing rapidly just a moment ago, was now breathless.


    Everyone knew who Li Qianqian was referring to.


    Li Dong, the founder of the Green Lotus Tavern!


    Even without the connection to the Green Lotus Sword Deity, Li Dong was one of the strongest beings in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Moreover, behind Li Dong stood the powerful Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    Wang Zhou, who was intending to bid as well, fell silent.


    Although he was the Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, in the presence of Li Dong, he was just the Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    Seeing everyone be mute upon mentioning her family¡¯s ancestor, Li Qianqian felt extremely satisfied.


    ¡°Sixty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones,¡± a calm voice suddenly rang out when everyone was silent.


    All were astonished, turning to see that it was Yang Xiaotian who had spoken.


    Seeing it was Yang Xiaotian, Li Qianqian¡¯s pretty face turned cold.


    Wu You, upon seeing this, said smilingly to Wang Zhou, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian actually dares topete with Elder Li Dong over the Six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water. He¡¯s really courting death.¡±


    Wang Zhou also secretly took delight in the disaster.


    For him, the more people Yang Xiaotian offended, the better.


    This way, Yang Xiaotian would die even faster.


    ¡°Sixty-one thousand.¡± Seeing Yang Xiaotian speak up, with him leading the way, Zhao Jinzhou of Sky-Stepping Sect also started bidding.


    ¡°Seventy thousand!¡± Li Qianqian chimed in.


    ¡°Eighty thousand.¡± Yang Xiaotian immediately shouted out.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian relentlessly following behind her bids, Li Qianqian¡¯s pretty face grew colder.


    ¡°Eighty-one thousand.¡± Zhao Jinzhou called out again.


    ¡°Ny thousand,¡± Li Qianqian said coldly, her eyes piercing as she red at Yang Xiaotian after the bid.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored her icy gaze, ¡°One hundred thousand.¡±


    One hundred thousand!


    Seeing the price soar to one hundred thousand in just a few breaths, everyone¡¯s hearts leaped in their chests.


    That was one hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, not low-grade ones, and many Supreme Sects couldn¡¯t even put together that amount if they sold their door-guarding beasts.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was dead set on her, without waiting for Zhao Jinzhou to speak, Li Qianqian directly shouted, ¡°One hundred and ten thousand!¡± Her voice already carried a hint of anger towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Chen Nian, the second Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, was also present. He hesitated for a moment, then said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Friend Yang, spending over one hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones for this sixyer Tribtion Thunder Water is not worth it.¡±


    The most critical point was that it was not worth it to offend Li Dong for the sake of this sixyer Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Yang Xiaotian knew that Chen Nian meant well and smiled, ¡°Thank you, Second Elder.¡± He paused, then added, ¡°However, I must have this sixyer Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    Then he shouted, ¡°One hundred and twenty thousand.¡±


    Li Qianqian was so angry her face turned green.


    ¡°One hundred and twenty-one thousand,¡± Zhao Jinzhou hesitated before calling out.


    Although the Sky-Stepping Sect was also determined to acquire the sixyer Tribtion Thunder Water, the maximum price set by their Sect Master before their departure was one hundred and twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.


    So, one hundred and twenty-one thousand was already beyond the limit of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    ¡°One hundred and thirty thousand.¡± Yang Xiaotian remained emotionally steady.


    Li Qianqian¡¯s eyes zed with rage at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°One hundred and forty thousand!¡±


    ¡°One hundred and fifty thousand!¡± Yang Xiaotian immediately countered.


    Li Qianqian felt like she was about to explode with anger.


    ¡°One hundred and sixty thousand!¡± She gritted her teeth and spat out.


    ¡°One hundred and seventy thousand.¡± Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate.


    Li Qianqian¡¯s expression turned ugly.


    The maximum price set by the Sky-Stepping Sect Master was one hundred and twenty thousand, while Green Lotus Tavern had set theirs at one hundred and seventy thousand.


    Everyone was holding their breath, staring wide-eyed, as nobody expected the sixyer Tribtion Thunder Water to be bid up to one hundred and seventy thousand.


    Just when everyone thought Li Qianqian was going to give up, suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the auction hall.


    This figure was very tall, standing there with a dominating presence. When this figure was recognized, many venerable ancestors¡¯ faces changed dramatically.


    ¡°Tower Master Li!¡± The numerous venerables present hurriedly stood up, bowed, and saluted with their fists, including Long Lan, Zhao Jinzhou, and Wang Zhou.


    Li Hong!


    The son of Li Dong!


    He was also the current Tower Master and helmsman of Green Lotus Tavern.


    Li Dong had long been reclusive for many years, and now, all matters of Green Lotus Tavern were managed by Li Hong.


    Even the Empire Great Emperor and the Sky-Stepping Sect Master had to give Li Hong three parts respect upon meeting him.


    No one had anticipated that Li Hong would personally attend the auction.


    Clearly, Li Hong hade for the sixyer Tribtion Thunder Water.

 Chapter 213: You Actually Dare to Refuse

    Chapter 213: You Actually Dare to Refuse


    ¡°Grandfather!¡± Li Qianqian saw that it was Li Hong himself who had arrived, and her pretty face brightened with joy. She got up to greet him and thentched onto Li Hong¡¯s arm.


    Li Hong was very fond of Li Qianqian, and with a smile, he said, ¡°Girl, you¡¯re such a grown-up now, still acting like a little child.¡± While speaking, he entered the hall.


    Along the way, the various strong figures present all bowed their heads slightly.


    Li Hong walked to the center of the hall and stopped. He looked at Long Lan and smiled, ¡°Little Lan, it¡¯s been some years since west met, and it seems like you¡¯ve made quite some progress in your strength.¡±


    Long Lan sped his fist, bowed slightly, and smiled, ¡°Li Hong, Senior, you tter me. My strength is hardly worth mentioning.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, ¡°This must be Friend Yang Xiaotian, who controls the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and crafted a Profound Level Elixir at the Martial King Realm. Truly a Divine Miracle.¡±


    ¡°He truly is the young Medicine God.¡±


    The young Medicine God!


    Hearing Li Hong¡¯s evaluation of Yang Xiaotian, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face turned as ugly as it could get.


    Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I¡¯m not worthy of being called the young Medicine God, I¡¯ve just had some lucky opportunities.¡±


    Li Hong, with an admiring expression,ughed and said, ¡°Friend Yang, this Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water is needed by my father. Could you do Li a favor and sell it to me?¡±


    Everyone was stunned.


    Who was Li Hong? The current owner of Green Lotus Tavern, an existence on equal footing with the Sky-Stepping Sect Master and the Great Emperor of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    And he himself was personally asking Yang Xiaotian!


    Just when everyone thought Yang Xiaotian would nod in agreement, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°This Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water is also a must-have for me!¡±


    Everyone was stunned once again.


    They looked at Yang Xiaotian with strange expressions on their faces.


    Yang Xiaotian had just refused Li Hong!


    ¡°How dare you refuse!¡± Li Qianqian, seeing that her grandfather had asked and Yang Xiaotian still dared to refuse, could not help but rage.


    Jiu Wu, Wang Zhou, Long Xingkong, Gu Shaozong, and others saw Yang Xiaotian boldly refuse Li Hong, giving no face to him and, after their surprise, they all were secretly delighted.


    Li Hong was also taken aback; he had not expected that despite his personal visit and speaking in person, Yang Xiaotian still did not give him any face.


    His brow furrowed¡ªwhere did Yang Xiaotian get the confidence? Did he feel that, having control over Divine Fire, he could so arrogantly think he had the right to disregard him?


    Or did he think that Long Lan was backing him, which gave him the confidence to directly refuse him?


    He nced at Long Lan.


    That nce sent a cold sweat down Long Lan¡¯s forehead.


    Li Hong¡¯s mind raced, looking at Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Young hero Yang, truly unflinching in the face of danger.¡± Then he said, ¡°It seems my old face isn¡¯t very effective here.¡±


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s have a fair auction.¡±


    Having said that, he turned to Wu Qing and said, ¡°One hundred and eighty thousand.¡±


    One hundred and eighty thousand!


    Li Hong spoke casually, but the crowd felt their muscles twitch at his words.


    ¡°Two hundred thousand!¡± Yang Xiaotian, not wanting to waste words with his opponent, directly shouted two hundred thousand.


    Two hundred thousand!


    Some friends who had been suffering from a toothache suddenly found their toothache gone.


    Everyone was shocked by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two hundred thousand bid.


    Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, that¡¯s two billion lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    Imagine two billion lower-grade Spirit Stones piled up there; even ants might not be able to climb over them.


    Li Hong heard Yang Xiaotian raise the price to two hundred thousand in one go but maintained hisposure. After hesitating for a moment, he called out, ¡°Two hundred and fifty thousand!¡±


    Two hundred and fifty thousand!


    Some of the normally formidable masters nearly lost their bnce and nearly fell into their seats.


    ¡°Three hundred thousand!¡± Yang Xiaotian called out unaffected.


    Some, who had been about to fall but had not, now could no longer stand firm and copsed in droves.


    Even Long Lan couldn¡¯t help but inhale sharply.


    Li Hong¡¯s aged face also twitched.


    Li Qianqian, Long Xingkong, and the others were left with their minds nk from the shock of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three hundred thousand bid.


    Normally, they had seen transactions involving several hundred thousand or even millions of inferior-grade Spirit Stones, but three billion inferior-grade Spirit Stones were unheard of.


    ¡°Has he gone mad?¡± Zhu Xuan muttered to himself as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    The Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was a treasure, but spending three billion inferior-grade Spirit Stones on it seemed not worth it!


    In everyone else¡¯s eyes, the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was worth at most one billion inferior-grade Spirit Stones.


    That was already three times the amount.


    With three billion inferior-grade Spirit Stones, one could buy many more treasures. Why was Yang Xiaotian so determined to fight for the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?


    Li Hong looked at Yang Xiaotian with a strange expression.


    Now, he realized, this young fellow, whose brain must have been kicked by a donkey, was truly determined to obtain the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Li Hong¡¯s face alternated between cloudy and clear, ultimately shaking his head and deciding not to follow up with another bid.


    If he continued to bid, it wouldn¡¯t be his brain that was kicked by a donkey, but rather by a tiger.


    Besides, even if he spent over thirty billion inferior-grade Spirit Stones to genuinely purchase the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, his father might not be pleased and could very well kick him in the head.


    Seeing Li Hong no longer continue, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.


    If the bidding went on, the first thing unable to bear it would probably be the chairs they were sitting on.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian sessfully acquired the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water with three hundred thousand superior-grade Spirit Stones, and upon receiving it, his face and heart were filled with joy.


    Li Hong looked at the joyous Yang Xiaotian, shook his head, and then turned to leave the auction.


    Upon leaving, Li Qianqian red at Yang Xiaotian fiercely.


    Powers from all sides also left one after another.


    Wang Zhou, Long Xingkong, Gu Shaozong, and others left with schadenfreude.


    Without lingering, Yang Xiaotian led Wu Qi and the others to leave as well.


    Long Lan also took Qingxuan back to the Imperial Pce. When parting with Yang Xiaotian, Long Lan pondered and said, ¡°Friend Yang, it would be best not to leave the Imperial Capital for the time being.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian knew Long Lan was concerned about his safety and nodded, ¡°All right, Uncle Lan, I understand.¡±


    As Qingxuan left, repeatedly looking back, Long Lan dragged her back to the Imperial Pce.


    After returning to Azure Dragon Residence, Yang Xiaotian silently took out the True Dragon Bead and let the ck Flood Dragon King and the Azure Thunder Python refine it together.


    However, not long after Yang Xiaotian returned to Azure Dragon Residence, Liang Yafei of the True Dragon Divine Sect was already on his way there.


    He had just received an order from his sect to recruit Yang Xiaotian as a seed disciple and invite him to join the sect.


    On the way, Zhu Miaomiao couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Master, this Yang Xiaotian is a troublemaker. He has offended too many people. Recruiting such a person into the True Dragon Divine Sect might bring trouble to the sect.¡±


    ¡°Even if he has subdued the Divine me, he may not necessarily be the Medicine God in the future!¡±


    Liang Yafei shook his head, ¡°Recruiting Yang Xiaotian is the will of the ancestor. We just need to follow the order.¡±


    Hearing that it was the ancestor¡¯s will, Zhu Miaomiao dared not object any further.


    Momentster, Liang Yafei arrived at Azure Dragon Residence and stated his purpose.


    ¡°Recruiting me as a seed disciple.¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    With a smile, Liang Yafei said, ¡°Indeed, Friend Yang, our Sect Master said that if you join the True Dragon Divine Sect, all the medicinal materials of the sect can be at your disposal.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, upon entering the sect, your status will be equivalent to that of a core disciple.¡±

 Chapter 214: Only 8 Left

    Chapter 214: Only 8 Left


    Upon entering the sect, he would have the same status as a core disciple!


    Moreover, all the medicinal materials of the sect could be used by him; such conditions were a clear indication of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s sincerity.


    The most critical point was that Yang Xiaotian had wanted to join the True Dragon Divine Sect all along.


    At this moment, Liang Yafei added, ¡°Furthermore, all the cultivation techniques, secret tomes, and supreme divine powers in the sect¡¯s Book Pavilion are at your disposal to browse through.¡±


    All supreme divine powers, cultivation techniques, and secret tomes were avable for him to peruse.


    This kind of treatment was something even core disciples could not enjoy.


    Even core disciples had to exchange sect contribution points to browse through the Book Pavilion¡¯s cultivation techniques and divine powers.


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Miaomiao felt it was unfair and said, ¡°Master, this isn¡¯t appropriate, even core disciples need to exchange sect contribution points to ess the sect¡¯s Book Pavilion¡¯s cultivation techniques and divine powers.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian has made no contributions to the sect at all.¡±


    Not to mention her dissatisfaction as a core disciple, other core disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect would definitely feel the same if they knew.


    Liang Yafei nced at Zhu Miaomiao and reprimanded her, ¡°Whether it¡¯s appropriate or not has nothing to do with you.¡±


    Zhu Miaomiao lowered her head in acknowledgement, not daring to interject further.


    However, inside she felt increasingly displeased with Yang Xiaotian.


    Liang Yafei smiled at Yang Xiaotian and asked, ¡°Friend Yang, what do you think?¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s agreement, Liang Yafeiughed heartily, very pleased, ¡°Congrattions to Friend Yang on joining our True Dragon Divine Sect!¡± He then took out a token, ¡°This is the identity token of a core disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect, please keep it safe, Friend Yang.¡±


    ¡°I shall be returning to the sect tomorrow, would Friend Yang care to return to the sect with me?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I still have some matters to attend to.¡±


    He had to go to the Red Moon Forest to subdue the Iceme Qilin.


    After that, he made an agreement with Liang Yafei to report to the True Dragon Divine Sect within three months.


    Liang Yafei, not wanting to press Yang Xiaotian, reminded him of a few matters and then left Azure Dragon Residence.


    But just as Liang Yafei had barely left, Zhao Jinzhou from the Sky-Stepping Sect arrived hot on his heels.


    Zhao Jinzhou had alsoe on behalf of the Sky-Stepping Sect to recruit Yang Xiaotian as a sect disciple.


    Seeing Zhao Jinzhou, Yang Xiaotian was quite surprised; after all, his rtions with Long Xingkong and Zhu Xuan were very stiff, especially with Zhu Xuan ¨C had he not fled quickly in the Thunder God Cave, Zhu Xuan would have killed him long ago.


    Zhao Jinzhou, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s silence, spoke up, ¡°So, what do you say, Yang Xiaotian? If you join our Sky-Stepping Sect, you¡¯ll immediately be an inner sect disciple, second only to one and above millions!¡±


    As he said this, he spoke proudly, ¡°Our Sky-Stepping Sect is the foremost among the Empire¡¯s ten supreme sects, with strength far surpassing that of the other nine supreme sects.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said bluntly, ¡°Elder Liang Yafei just came by; I have already joined the True Dragon Divine Sect.¡± Saying this, he took out the core disciple token given to him by Liang Yafei.


    Zhao Jinzhou, initially excited, saw the token in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and his expression darkened, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, the True Dragon Divine Sect is no match for our Sky-Stepping Sect.¡±


    ¡°If you change your mind now and join our Sky-Stepping Sect, the True Dragon Divine Sect wouldn¡¯t dare to utter a word,¡± he said.


    With that, his eyes grew cold, ¡°If you refuse to join our Sky-Stepping Sect, then you are an enemy of the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    Hearing Zhao Jinzhou¡¯s threatening words, Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, ¡°Is that so.¡±


    Zhao Jinzhou, seeing Yang Xiaotian disregard his warning with dismay filled with murderous intent, said, ¡°Do you believe that I can kill you right now!¡± His aura of the Saint Realm locked on to Yang Xiaotian.


    A hundred years from now, Yang Xiaotian was expected to achieve the title of Medicine God. Since Yang Xiaotian was unwilling to join Sky-Stepping Sect, he would rather kill Yang Xiaotian now than let him benefit the True Dragon Divine Sect!


    ¡°I advise you not to take any action; otherwise, you will die without aplete corpse,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly, looking at Zhao Jinzhou.


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinzhou was taken aback, and then heughed furiously. As the patriarch of the Sky-Stepping Sect, he had lived a life of killing and countless battles, yet he had never been threatened like this by a Martial King Realm cultivator.


    Zhao Jinzhou stared at Yang Xiaotian, his mind seething with murderous intent.


    But just at that moment, suddenly, Luo Qing came in to report that Feng Lei, the ancient ancestor of the Maha Divine Sect, was outside and wished to meet Yang Xiaotian.


    Zhao Jinzhou reined in his killing intent and looked coldly at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I can take your little life anytime, don¡¯t think that just because Long Lan is backing you up, he can keep you safe!¡±


    ¡°If my Sky-Stepping Sect wants to kill you, no one can protect you!¡±


    Having said that, he left with a flick of his sleeve.


    ¡°Young Master.¡± Luo Qing couldn¡¯t help but look worried, ¡°The Sky-Stepping Sect, are we¡­?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, please invite Feng Lei in,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    Luo Qing nodded.


    Soon after, Feng Lei came in, and like Zhao Jinzhou, he also wanted to recruit Yang Xiaotian as a sect disciple. The conditions offered by the Maha Divine Sect were equally good, no weaker than the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Yang Xiaotian also rejected the offer.


    Feng Lei, having learned that Yang Xiaotian had joined the True Dragon Divine Sect, sighed for a long time before finally leaving.


    After that, experts from the Ancient Divine Pce and the Green Divine Sect also came in session, all for the purpose of taking Yang Xiaotian as a sect disciple.


    In the end, even the Tianchen Pavilion came.


    The Tianchen Pavilion was shrouded in mystery, its sect disciples rarely showed themselves, and the empire¡¯s Imperial and Saint Rankings were all released by it. The sect was located inside the primeval forest, and Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected an expert from Tianchen Pavilion toe, let alone an ancient ancestor.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian simply shut his doors and focused on subduing the Earth me within the courtyard.


    With the experience of subduing the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, and the me of Stars, Yang Xiaotian became quite proficient in subduing the Earth me. He operated the Controlling Fire Technique and smoothly subdued the Earth me.


    The Earth me was the first among Abnormal Fires.


    Now, with the addition of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, he possessed two of the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    ¡°Still eight to go,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.


    Legend had it that if one could collect all ten strongest Abnormal Fires and release them together, their power would be iparable, not inferior to some Divine mes.


    In the blink of an eye, several days passed.


    The ck Flood Dragon King and the Azure Thunder Python had already refined the Dragon Essence from that True Dragon Beadpletely.


    But to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s disappointment, neither of them had seeded in their bloodline returning to its ancestral state.


    ¡°Although I haven¡¯t returned to my ancestors, my bloodline is now one step closer to that of a Divine Beast. If I could get another bead like this True Dragon Bead, I should be able to evolve into a Divine Beast,¡± said the ck Flood Dragon King.


    Another bead?


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    A True Dragon Bead was as rare as Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, where would he find another?


    Yang Xiaotian thought of Shi Yongping.


    Being the Grand Master of Pharmacists in the Empire, Shi Yongping might know something about the whereabouts of a True Dragon Bead.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to find Shi Yongping.


    When Shi Yongping learned that Yang Xiaotian was looking for a True Dragon Bead, he mused, ¡°I have been wanting to refine a water-attributed True Dragon Holy Pill for years and have collected many materials. I do indeed know a ce where there is a True Dragon Bead.¡±


    ¡°The only problem is that ce is too dangerous, even I cannot enter.¡±


    Shi Yongping was at the peak of the tenyers of the Saint Realm, and the fact that even he couldn¡¯t enter showed how difficult it must be.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed, ¡°May I know where it is? I would be infinitely grateful if the Grand Hall Master could tell me,¡± said Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 215: Green Sea Dragon Palace

    Chapter 215: Green Sea Dragon Pce


    Shi Yongping saw the anxious look on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face and did not conceal anything, saying, ¡°At the deepest part of Green Sea, there is a Green Sea Dragon Pce from the ancient times.¡±


    ¡°There should be a True Dragon Bead inside.¡±


    ¡°Green Sea!¡± Yang Xiaotian was puzzled.


    It seemed that there was no ce called Green Sea in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Shi Yongping exined, ¡°Green Sea is not within our Divine Dragon Empire, but in the Four States Empire.¡±


    ¡°Four States Empire!¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    The Four States Empire bordered the Divine Dragon Empire.


    However, the rtionship between the Four States Empire and the Divine Dragon Empire was not very good.


    The Four States Empire had ambitious designs and had always wanted to annex the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Therefore, the two great empires were constantly at war.


    ¡°The Four States Empire has four continents, and Green Sea is located in Bitian Continent,¡± Shi Yongping said. ¡°However, at the deepest part of Green Sea, there is Extreme Ice Cold Qi, which can even freeze someone at the Saint Realm Peak, making it utterly impossible to approach the Green Sea Dragon Pce.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, within the Green Sea Dragon Pce, there are numerous ancient Long n restrictions. I suppose that even Divine Spirits cannot enter the depths of the Green Sea Dragon Pce.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, ¡°Even Divine Spirits can¡¯t enter?¡±


    Shi Yongping nodded and said, ¡°Correct, but as far as I know, every ten years, the restrictions of the Green Sea Dragon Pce weaken, and at that time, the Divine Spirit Realm could barely enter, though it remains very dangerous.¡±


    ¡°Next April is the time when the restrictions of the Green Sea Dragon Pce weaken.¡±


    Upon hearing this, joy stirred in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart; if that was the case, then things would be easier.


    Seeing the happy look on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, Shi Yongping said, ¡°Friend Yang, although you have the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and fear not the Extreme Ice Cold Qi at the deepest part of Green Sea, the Green Sea Dragon Pce has many restrictions and is extremely dangerous. It¡¯s better that you do not go.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± With that, he expressed his gratitude with a fist and palm salute, ¡°Thank you, Grand Hall Master, for telling me about the Green Sea Dragon Pce. Should you have anymands in the future, Xiaotian shall not shirk the responsibility.¡±


    Shi Yongping¡¯s face beamed with a smile, he patted Yang Xiaotian on the shoulder, ¡°I truly hope to see you achieve the status of Medicine God in a hundred years.¡±


    ¡°When that timees, you will inherit the Empire Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    ¡°And lead our Divine Dragon Empire Pharmacist Hall to fame throughout the Azure God Continent!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded earnestly, ¡°I will work hard.¡±


    Then he asked, ¡°Grand Hall Master, I would like to inquire about something, do you perhaps know of Innate Fine Iron?¡±


    Now, he onlycked Innate Fine Iron to repair the Burying Heaven Sword.


    ¡°Innate Fine Iron?¡± Shi Yongping shook his head. ¡°That material is even rarer than the True Dragon Bead. I do not have any news about it.¡± As he said this, he pondered, ¡°Perhaps, you could take a look in the Dwarf Mountains of the Hundred n Empire.¡±


    Half of the Azure God Continent¡¯s top ten artifact-refining Divine Craftsmen hail from the Dwarf n.


    There should be Innate Fine Iron in the Dwarf Mountains.


    ¡°Alright, I understand,¡± Yang Xiaotian took note of Shi Yongping¡¯s information.


    A whileter, he left the Empire Pharmacist Hall.


    Walking on the bustling streets of the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian thought about the True Dragon Bead and the Innate Fine Iron.


    The Green Sea Dragon Pce was in the Four States Empire, which was rtively close.


    But the Dwarf Mountains of the Hundred n Empire were far too distant.


    The Hundred n Empire was at the extremity of the Azure God Continent, and to reach it, one would have to traverse dozens of empires.


    Therefore, he would have to think of another way to acquire the Innate Fine Iron.


    Upon returning to Azure Dragon Residence, Yang Xiaotian left the Imperial Capital that very night and headed for the Red Moon Forest.


    With his parents¡¯ safety in mind, he left the ck Flood Dragon King at the Azure Dragon Residence.


    Besides, the ck Flood Dragon King would not be of much help when it came time to subdue the Iceme Qilin.


    When Yang Xiaotian left the Imperial Capital, a figure hidden in the darkness with piercing cold eyes followed him.


    This figure, shrouded in darkness, flew without causing any disturbance in the space, silent as a ghost.


    Yang Xiaotian continued on his way, utilizing the Skywalking Thousand Swords technique, flying over deste mountains and wilderness.


    The dark figure trailed behind Yang Xiaotian the entire way.


    As Yang Xiaotian passed by a certain mountain peak, the dark figure suddenly elerated and instantly appeared behind Yang Xiaotian, thrusting a sharp spike fiercely.


    The spike was coated with a deadly poison from his refinement, so even a scratch would cause Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body to rot, eventually turning him into a corpse.


    Just as the poisoned spike was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian¡¯s back, suddenly, he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the spike couldn¡¯t prate it and was instead halted a few inches from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s back.


    His eyes widened in shock.


    What¡¯s going on?


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian turned his head and looked coldly at the dark figure.


    Immediately afterward, the dark figure saw a surge of light behind Yang Xiaotian, and a massive figure too huge to imagine appeared behind him.


    The dark figure, looking at the colossal shape that obscured his entire vision, eximed in horror, ¡°Divine Beast King! Azure Thunder Python!¡±


    Then, he looked at Yang Xiaotian in terror.


    Yang Xiaotian had actually tamed the Divine Beast King of the Red Moon Forest!


    Feeling the terrifying presence of the Azure Thunder Python in the Divine Spirit Realm, he was shocked, furious, and full of hatred.


    Long Xingkong and Zhu Xuan, you two idiots, didn¡¯t you say that there was only a ck Flood Dragon King in the Emperor Realm with Yang Xiaotian?


    Damn it!


    You¡¯ve gotten me killed!


    He wanted to run, but he found that he was already enveloped by the terrifying aura of the Azure Thunder Python. If he attempted to flee, what awaited him would inevitably be a devastating blow.


    ¡°Shadow Night Demon,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said coldly, looking at the dark figure as a voice like the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder fell from the sky, shaking the surrounding falling leaves like rain.


    Shadow Night Demon!


    Ranked third on the assassins list!


    Hearing that the dark figure before him was the Shadow Night Demon, Yang Xiaotian asked coldly, ¡°Who sent you to kill me?¡±


    Suddenly, the Shadow Night Demon shook his hands, releasing countless poisoned needles at Yang Xiaotian while leaping up and disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.


    Seeing this, the Azure Thunder Python hummed coldly, without making any noticeable move, just pressing down with a palm.


    Instantly, space twisted.


    All the poisoned needles were reflected back. The Shadow Night Demon, who had just vanished into the darkness, felt his body struck by a terrifying force and fell out of the darkness once again.


    Turning his head in horror, he saw the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s paw, huge as a mountain.


    With a thunderous roar,


    the Azure Thunder Python directly stamped the opponent into the ground.


    All the surrounding trees were pulverized into dust.


    Afterward, the Azure Thunder Python brought the Shadow Night Demon in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Who sent you?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the Shadow Night Demon before him and asked again coldly.


    The aura of darkness on the Shadow Night Demon had already dissipated, and the mask on his face had shattered, revealing a gaunt middle-aged man. He looked at Yang Xiaotian, smiled mockingly, and with a sneer said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you really think I, the Shadow Night Demon, would reveal who my employer is?¡±


    No sooner had he finished speaking than the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand stabbed into his throat.


    Just like when he had dispatched Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, it was inserted inch by inch.


    The Shadow Night Demon stared at the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, his voice faltering, ¡°Divine Master Hong Feng¡¯s Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.¡± With that said, he breathed hisst.

 Chapter 216: I’ll Take the Front Later

    Chapter 216: I¡¯ll Take the Front Later


    After resolving the Shadow Night Demon issue, Yang Xiaotian took out the Space Ring from the corpse, then Nine Phoenixes Golden me flew out and incinerated the body cleanly before he continued on his way with the Azure Thunder Python.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the head of the Azure Thunder Python and opened the Space Ring.


    Suddenly, an astonishing wave of spiritual energy burst forth.


    It was filled with Spirit Stones.


    There were lower, middle, and even upper-grade ones.


    The lower grades were likely in the hundreds of millions, while there were fewer of the middle and upper grades.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, he didn¡¯t expect the Shadow Night Demon to have so many Spirit Stones.


    Even the elders of the top ten Supreme Sects were not so wealthy.


    Besides the Spirit Stones, there were also many Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Pills, although the vast majority were healing elixirs. Only a few were of superior quality, and there were hardly any of the finest quality.


    In a corner, he also found over a dozen Cultivation Technique Manuals and Divine Skills.


    Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t interested in the Cultivation Technique Manuals, but one of them, ¡°Shadow Night Walk,¡± caught his attention.


    ¡°Shadow Night Walk¡± was a Supreme Divine Skill in bodily movement. Once cultivated to the Perfection Realm, one could hide in darkness and move soundlessly.


    If one reached Summit Mastery with it, they could even walk invisibly by day, and enemies several realms higher would find it difficult to detect them.


    However, to cultivate ¡°Shadow Night Walk,¡± one must possess a dark attribute Martial Soul.


    His ck Dragon Martial Soul was just right for it.


    After cultivating ¡°Shadow Night Walk¡± to Summit Mastery andbining it with his life-bound soul skill of Absolute Concealment, he would be incredibly satisfied.


    Over these days of cultivation, the life-bound soul skills of his two Supreme Martial Spirits had already fully awakened.


    The life-bound soul skill of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit was ¡°Absolute Concealment.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian flipped through ¡°Shadow Night Walk¡± from beginning to end, and he had almost fully grasped its mysteries.


    However, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to cultivate it. After recalling the contents, he continued reading it for the second time.


    After the second reading, he hadpletelyprehended the mysteries of ¡°Shadow Night Walk.¡±


    All of a sudden, darkness surged around Yang Xiaotian, and then he disappeared into the night,pletely merging with the darkness.


    This was his execution of ¡°Shadow Night Walk.¡±


    However, he didn¡¯t employ his life-bound soul skill of Absolute Concealment.


    Just the pure ¡°Shadow Night Walk.¡±


    Immediately after, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body began to blur, and he disappearedpletely into the darkness.


    This was the life-bound soul skill of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, ¡°Absolute Concealment.¡±


    Before, Yang Xiaotian had merged with the darkness and was still present in his original location, but now, he hadpletely vanished.


    He had utterly concealed himself in space.


    This was ¡°Absolute Concealment.¡±


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength improved, the life-bound soul skills of his two Supreme Martial Spirits would be stronger and stronger. By the time he stepped into the Emperor Realm, perhaps not even those at the peak of the Saint Realm would be able to find him.


    The Azure Thunder Python was extremely fast, and soon, it reached the Red Moon Forest with Yang Xiaotian.


    As they approached the volcano, the Azure Thunder Python couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous.


    Feeling the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s anxiety, Yang Xiaotian patted it and said with a smile, ¡°Old Meng, you¡¯ve broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, are you still afraid of one at the peak of the Saint Realm?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python replied with a wry smile, ¡°Young master, it¡¯s a Super Divine Beast, and I¡¯m merely a Divine Beast. Ourbat strengths are entirely different.¡±


    Although he was the pinnacle of Divine Beasts, known as the Divine Beast King, he knew his own limitations.


    Facing a Super Divine Beast, he had no certainty of victory.


    Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°We still have Master Ding.¡±


    At the mention of Master Ding, the spirit of the Azure Thunder Python surged.


    ¡°Master Ding, do you think we can handle it?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the Medicine Cauldron.


    The Medicine Cauldron replied disdainfully, ¡°A Super Divine Beast at the peak of the Saint Realm, that¡¯s all. With the power of Sixfold Tribtion Thunder Water, I¡¯m full of energy now; just wait until we take it down!¡±


    ¡°Take it down?¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    ¡°Take it down!¡± The Medicine Cauldron dered with soaring spirit.


    The Azure Thunder Python heard Medicine Cauldron¡¯s lofty statement and also let out a heartyugh, ¡°Do it!¡±


    Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°I¡¯ll attack the front, and you attack the rear.¡±


    The rear?


    The Azure Thunder Python was stunned for a moment before Medicine Cauldron added, ¡°Aim straight for the middle of its butt.¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The Azure Thunder Python almost spurted out the roast meat he had eaten a few days ago.


    Yang Xiaotianughed loudly.


    Theughter echoed through the night.


    Amidst theirughter, the trio, a man, a python, and a cauldron, finally arrived at the volcano.


    The Red Moon Forest¡¯s volcano, also being the forest¡¯s forbidden area, meant there were no fierce beasts daring to approach its vicinity.


    In the cover of night, the volcano emitted a sinister, fiery red glow.


    Even though the Iceme Kyliny dormant at the bottom of the volcano, the aura that permeated the air almost suffocated Yang Xiaotian.


    Gazing at the familiar volcano before him, the Azure Thunder Python took a deep breath, soared forward, and with a sweep of its thousand-foot tail, a ferocious force bombarded the volcano.


    Boom!


    Apanied by a deafening bang, the volcano trembled violently, rocks scattering and tumbling down.


    Column after column of astonishing mes were sted skyward, scattering far and wide around the area.


    Suddenly, the surrounding of the volcano turned into a sea of fire.


    Right after the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s strike, a thunderous roar erupted from the depths of the volcano, the force of the sound waves was so intense that Yang Xiaotian lost his hearing.


    Merely with one roar, such might shook the countless fierce beasts of the Red Moon Forest into lying prone.


    Some beasts were even so frightened that they wet themselves.


    Amid the earth-shattering roar, a giant kylin enveloped in ice-blue mes emerged above the volcano.


    Seeing the Iceme Kylin momentarily left Yang Xiaotian unspeakably shocked.


    This was a Super Divine Beast!


    In ancient myths, Kylins were the dominant lords of heaven and earth.


    There were too many legends about the Kylin.


    Legend had it that only the master of heaven and earth could tame a Kylin.


    After the Iceme Kylin appeared, it soared high, looking down on all below as if a sovereign of the Nine Heavens. It red at the Azure Thunder Python: ¡°Fierce Old Man, it turns out to be you! I was wondering who was bold enough to disturb my volcano and interrupt my cultivation; it¡¯s you, old thing!¡±


    With divine might surging, it continued, ¡°Itchy skin, huh? Today, I will cripple you!¡±


    It suddenly lifted its w, smacking it down fiercely.


    The ice-blue mes transformed into an endless sea of fire that bore down on the Azure Thunder Python.


    This ice-blue sea of fire, although mes, left everything it swept overpletely encased in ice.


    The terror of the icy chill, swept across heaven and earth.


    Yang Xiaotian felt as if his very soul was being frozen.


    He hastily summoned the recently subdued Earth me to make things more bearable.


    Facing the onught of the ice-blue mes, the Azure Thunder Python, somber-faced, let out a heavenward howl and mmed its paws down, bringing down countless bolts of Nine Heavens Thunder.


    Amid the resounding crash of thunder, the ice-blue sea of fire was scattered.


    The Iceme Kylin was taken aback, ¡°So you¡¯ve broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, that¡¯s why you dare to mess with my volcano!¡±


    ¡°But do you think that by breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm, you¡¯re qualified to challenge me!¡±


    ¡°Today I¡¯ll let you understand the true gap between a Divine Beast and a Super Divine Beast!¡±


    With a flicker, it appeared right in front of the Azure Thunder Python, both wsshing out.


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s body surged with lightning as it met the attack with its paws.


    From a great distance, Yang Xiaotian felt the astonishing force of the two beasts¡¯ battle, utterly astounded.


    The current battle between the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Kylin was far more breathtaking than the previous battle between the Azure Thunder Python and Zhu Jing.

 Chapter 217: Battle that Shocks the World

    Chapter 217: Battle that Shocks the World


    Colossal roars kepting incessantly.


    The mere sounds of the two beasts¡¯ collisions formed terrifying sonic waves.


    It was like a super typhoon, sweeping across an unknown expanse of miles.


    It could be described as heaven and earth shattering.


    The surroundingnd developed astonishing rifts one after another.


    Forests, far in the distance, were being constantly ttened by the residual force of the two beasts¡¯ powers.


    Even just the residual waves of the beasts¡¯ powers turned everything they engulfed into dust.


    Yang Xiaotian kept retreating.


    Even though he had cultivated the True Dragon Body with his Primordial Dragon Art, being hit by the residual force of the two beasts made him feel as if his whole body was falling apart, his organs splitting apart.


    Yang Xiaotian watched the earth-shaking battle between the two beasts with horror.


    This was the first time Yang Xiaotian had seen the Azure Thunder Python unleash its true Divine Spirit power.


    Yet, even so, the Azure Thunder Python was still at a disadvantage.


    The Iceme Qilin¡¯s icy mes reached the skies, endless and incessant, while the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s Nine Heaven Divine Thunder, although spread across heaven and earth, dimmed under the power of the icy mes.


    So powerful!


    Only now did Yang Xiaotian understand what the Azure Thunder Python meant by havingpletely differentbat capabilities.


    The strength of a Super Divine Beast¡¯s bloodline was indeed formidable!


    However, powerful as the Iceme Qilin was, the Azure Thunder Python was after all a Divine Spirit; it would not be easy for it to defeat the Azure Thunder Python.


    While the two beasts were fighting fiercely, casting darkness over the skies and trembling every beast in the Red Moon Forest to submission, suddenly, a streak of light with terrifying mes fiercely bombarded the Iceme Qilin.


    The light and mes moved with extreme speed, catching the Iceme Qilin by surprise. It raised its palm to meet the attack head-on.


    Boom!


    The Iceme Qilin was actually shaken to the point of being forced to retreat repeatedly; it looked up to see that the attacker was none other than a huge Medicine Cauldron!


    Seeing Master Ding finally take action, the Azure Thunder Python breathed a sigh of relief.


    Just now, with the Iceme Qilin¡¯s firepower fully unleashed, it was unbearably fierce, and the pressure it felt was immense.


    Just then, the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s light soared once more, bombarding the Iceme Qilin with the streak of light and mes while bellowing, ¡°I¡¯ll attack its front, you attack its back!¡±


    While the Iceme Qilin was still confused by the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s words, the Azure Thunder Python stared straight at the center of its rear.


    The Iceme Qilin¡¯s body was entirely icy blue except for the center of its backside.


    Indeed, the target was obvious!


    As the Medicine Cauldron bombarded the Iceme Qilin, the Azure Thunder Python hesitated for a moment before opening its mouth to let out a roar. The Nine Heaven Divine Thunder, like a tsunami, bombarded the target all at once.


    The Iceme Qilin was busy dealing with the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s attack when it suddenly felt a chill on its backside. It turned around in shock just in time to see the tsunami-like Nine Heaven Divine Thunder rushing towards it.


    Frightened, the Iceme Qilin¡¯s face changed color, it clenched its backside, and hastily dodged to the side while roaring, ¡°Fierce Old Man, I curse your mother!¡±


    With a thunderous boom!


    It barely dodged just to see the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder roll past where it had just been, crashing into a volcano ahead.


    The volcano was sted with a supermassive hole.


    The Iceme Qilin broke out in a cold sweat.


    It was lucky to have dodged it.


    If it hadn¡¯t,


    What would have happened if that strike had hit its backside?


    But at that moment, as the Medicine Cauldron barreled in, the Iceme Qilin could no longer dodge and was hit on the forehead, directly sted off and plummeting to the ground.


    It plowed a terrifying deep crater into the earth.


    A sandstorm filled the sky.


    The Iceme Qilin roared in anger and was about to fly when the Medicine Cauldron, piercing through the heavy sandstorm, hit its head once again, sting it away once more.


    Seeing this, the Azure Thunder Python joined forces with the Medicine Cauldron to attack the Iceme Qilin.


    The Iceme Qilin was forced to retreat time and time again.


    However, even though the Medicine Cauldron struck the Iceme Qilin twice with heavy blows and even with the simultaneous attack from both the Medicine Cauldron and the Azure Thunder Python, it was not easy topletely defeat the Iceme Qilin.


    Sand flew and stones scattered as the two beasts and one cauldron fought fiercely. The ground split open, forests copsed, and rivers flowed backward, making the entire Red Moon Forest seem as if it were entering the apocalypse.


    Wherever they passed, fierce beasts that failed to dodge in time were all sted into blood sma.


    Countless fierce beasts fled in terror.


    Some experts from various countries who hade to hunt in the Red Moon Forest felt the terrifying power of the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python and were scared out of their wits.


    Even Wu You, a disciple of Wang Zhou who had just entered the Red Moon Forest not long ago with the intention of finding some medicinal herbs, felt the world-destroying power and fled outward with a face full of horror.


    ¡°Run for your life!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Beast King and the one from the volcano fighting to the death!¡±


    One by one, the strong fled outwards in a panic, cursing their luck for not having more legs.


    This battle sent shivers down the spines of the dozens of surrounding imperial kingdoms.


    Countless armies rushed to the borders of their kingdoms.


    Even the powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Empire were rmed.


    ¡°What, the Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python, and the one from the volcano have started killing each other?!¡± Inside the Divine Dragon Capital, Long Lan was taken aback, ¡°Does anyone know why?¡±


    All the experts in the Imperial Pce shook their heads.


    At this time, Wang Zhou from the Pharmacist Hall also received the news and was equally shocked. He asked his subordinates, ¡°Does anyone know why?¡±


    An elder from the Pharmacist Hall shook his head, ¡°We don¡¯t know, but someone heard the angry curse of the one from the volcano.¡±


    ¡°Angry curse? Cursing what?¡± Wang Zhou asked hurriedly, as this could be crucial information.


    ¡°I fork your mother!¡±


    Wang Zhou.


    This battle terrified everyone.


    They feared the two beasts might extend the battlefield to their nations.


    If the two beasts did bring their battleground to any kingdom, that kingdom¡¯s ruler might just kick the bucket.


    After all, the strength of the two beasts was more than any kingdom could withstand, even the Divine Dragon Empire didn¡¯t have many who could endure the power of the two beasts.


    Even in the deepest part of the Divine Dragon Empire Pce, the Divine Dragon Ancestor had a face full of suspicion. Normally, at their level, they would not easily start wars.


    Then why were the two beasts engaged in a deadly fight tonight?


    However, what relieved the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom and other major kingdoms was that the two beasts continued to ughter each other within the Red Moon Forest and did not bring their battlefield to their nations.


    The night passed.


    Dawn approached.


    In the midst of the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s countless powerhouses¡¯ anxiety, the world-destroying power of the two beasts finally ceased.


    ¡°It seems a victor has emerged?¡±


    ¡°Who do you think won?¡±


    ¡°It must be the one from the volcano! That¡¯s a Super Divine Beast, and once its taboo technique is used, who could withstand it?¡±


    ¡°But some people say the Divine Beast King has broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm already, and the one from the volcano hasn¡¯t. The power of the Divine Spirit Realm is notparable to the Saint Realm. I think the Divine Beast King won!¡±


    Everyone spected.


    Although there was spection, no one dared to venture into the Red Moon Forest to find out the truth.


    At this moment, deep in the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian looked at the Iceme Qilin, which was on itsst breath, with the Azure Thunder Python coiled behind him and the Medicine Cauldron floating beside him.


    After a night of fighting, the Medicine Cauldron and the Azure Thunder Python had finally won.


    But it was a Pyrrhic victory.


    The strength of the Iceme Qilin far surpassed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s imagination.


    Fortunately, he had purchased a substantial amount of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water a few days earlier. The Medicine Cauldron Divine Essence had a decent recovery, otherwise, he and the Azure Thunder Python would be the ones fleeing for their lives today.


    The Iceme Qilin looked at Yang Xiaotian with its dying breath. After fighting until now, it finally understood. The one who had caused this earth-shattering battle was the young boy before it.


    However, it still couldn¡¯t fathom why the Azure Thunder Python would pledge allegiance to a child!

 Chapter 218: Setting Out: True Dragon Divine Sect

    Chapter 218: Setting Out: True Dragon Divine Sect


    Yang Xiaotian had experience in taming the Azure Thunder Python, so he cut open his finger and a drop of blood flew out.


    Then, he performed the Blood Ritual, murmured an incantation, and the blood transformed into runes of blood before sinking into the forehead of the Kylin, branding into its Sea of Souls.


    Yang Xiaotian felt a blood connection with the Kylin.


    Only then did he take out two supreme Endless Life Pills, mixed with two mouthfuls of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for the Kylin to swallow.


    The Iceme Kylin¡¯s injuries were naturally not as severe as the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s had been.


    After swallowing the two mouthfuls of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the two supreme Endless Life Pills, it didn¡¯t take long for the Iceme Kylin¡¯s breath to stabilize.


    Yang Xiaotian then took out a few drops of sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for the Iceme Kylin to swallow.


    Although the Medicine Cauldron had consumed most of the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian still had some saved for emergency needs.


    After swallowing the few drops of sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the Iceme Kylin was already fully capable of standing up, moving freely, and its wounds were visibly healing at a rapid pace.


    Seeing the miraculous effects of the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian marveled.


    The Iceme Kylin looked at the child in front of it withplex emotions.


    Even moreplex than the Azure Thunder Python had felt before.


    However, it also knew that everything was already decided, and no matter how reluctant or discontent it was, there was nothing it could do about it.


    It couldn¡¯t change the facts.


    ¡°I pay my respects to the young master,¡± said the Iceme Kylin, its face switching between shades after bowing its head to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He knew the Iceme Kylin felt resentful.


    At this moment, the Medicine Cauldron spoke up, ¡°Kid, don¡¯t feel aggrieved. Even an old man like me follows this young one, and you, a creature who hasn¡¯t even broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, what do you have to be aggrieved about?¡±


    The Iceme Kylin looked at the Medicine Cauldron, its face full of astonishment and disbelief.


    It had lived for tens of thousands of years, but it was the first time it had heard of a cauldron developing a spirit of its own.


    Because even Divine Artifact-level cauldrons shouldn¡¯t be able to develop a spirit.


    ¡°In time, you will realize that being able to follow him is your good fortune,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron, lecturing the Iceme Kylin like an elder instructing a junior.


    Having experienced the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s power, the Iceme Kylin had grievances but didn¡¯t dare to voice them.


    At that moment, the Azure Thunder Python spoke, ¡°Old Ice, Master Ding is right. The young master¡¯s capabilities are beyond our imagination.¡±


    Upon hearing the Azure Thunder Python speak, anger surged in the Iceme Kylin¡¯s heart, and it instantlyshed out with a paw, causing the Azure Thunder Python to dodge in rm.


    The two beasts once again fought each other.


    However, since the Iceme Kylin¡¯s injuries had not fully healed, it was unable to get the upper hand on the Azure Thunder Python.


    Both beasts held back in their shes.


    After causing amotion for a while, Yang Xiaotian had them stop and then asked the Iceme Kylin to take him to see the Kirin Pce.


    From the Azure Thunder Python, he had learned that the Iceme Kylin had built a grand Kirin Pce beneath the Volcano.


    So, Yang Xiaotian mounted the back of the Iceme Kylin, and they flew toward the Volcano anew, alongside the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Iceme Kylin¡¯s form was also immenselyrge, not much smaller than the Azure Thunder Python. Flying through the sky, it resembled a gigantic moving iceberg.


    Yang Xiaotian noticed that where the Iceme Kylin passed through the sky, it left a trail of ice-blue fiery paw prints that lingered for a long time.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian glimpsed the Kirin Pce of the Iceme Kylin.


    At the base of the Volcano, there was a hidden paradise.


    The Kirin Pce was constructed entirely from ice-type materials and stood at the foot of a volcano, creating a stark visual contrast with the surroundingva.


    Yang Xiaotian walked around and marveled at its wonders.


    The Iceme Kylin said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°These years, having nothing much to do, I built this pce, which must seemughable to you, young master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°This pce is a work of magical craftsmanship, far superior to so-called divine craftsmen by a hundredfold. I must seek your guidance in artifact refining in the future.¡±


    ¡°If the young master is willing, Old Bing would be delighted to share everything I know,¡± the Iceme Kylin said with a smile.


    The Azure Thunder Python spoke up, ¡°Old Ice, I remember you hunted a True Dragon. You must still have its Origin Power, right?¡±


    The Iceme Kylin immediately stared at the Azure Thunder Python with eyes full of murderous intent.


    The Azure Thunder Python knew the Iceme Kylin had misunderstood and quickly waved its hands, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not coveting your True Dragon Origin Power. The young master has cultivated many Supreme Divine Powers of the Long n. If he had that True Dragon¡¯s Origin Power, he could bring many of those Divine Skills to the realm of Summit Mastery!¡±


    ¡°The young master has already cultivated fourteen Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery. He only needs sixteen more to condense the strongest top-tier Golden Core!¡±


    The Iceme Kylin looked at Yang Xiaotian in shock, ¡°Young master, you have cultivated fourteen Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery?!¡±


    Cultivating a dozen Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery is not a big deal.


    The key is how young Yang Xiaotian is!


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°I had some fortuitous encounters and was lucky enough to cultivate fourteen Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery.¡± Then he added, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to Old Meng¡¯s nonsense, I don¡¯t need the True Dragon Origin Power.¡±


    However, the Iceme Kylin shook its head, ¡°The Origin Power of that True Dragon isn¡¯t very useful to me, so I never consumed and refined it. Since it¡¯s useful to the young master, I¡¯ll fetch it for you right now.¡±


    It turned and entered the treasury, returning shortly with arge jade bottle in its hand, saying, ¡°I once entered the Divine Beast Mountain and killed an Ice Dragon at the tenth level of the Saint Realm. This jade bottle contains that Ice Dragon¡¯s Origin Power.¡±


    Divine Beast Mountain is not part of the Divine Dragon Empire and is quite far from it, known as the strongest gathering ce for Divine Beasts on the Azure God Continent.


    There, Fierce Beasts number in the billions.


    Compared to it, the Red Moon Forest is but a small witch meeting a great sorcerer.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment but ultimately epted the jade bottle.


    He indeed urgently needed to cultivate more Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery.


    Ever since obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Treasure, he had cultivated the twenty Long n Supreme Divine Powers within to the realm of Great Aplishment, even reaching the Perfection Realm in seven of them.


    However, he was never able to cultivate them to Summit Mastery.


    With the Origin Power of the tenth level Saint Realm Ice Dragon, he should be able to bring several Supreme Divine Powers of the Long n to the realm of Summit Mastery.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian stayed in the Kirin Pce and began to consume the Ice Dragon¡¯s Origin Power while cultivating the Long n¡¯s Supreme Divine Powers.


    The Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python also did not idle and cultivated within the Kirin Pce.


    In the blink of an eye, two months passed.


    Yang Xiaotian finallypletely refined the Ice Dragon¡¯s Origin Power.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, the Ice Dragon¡¯s Origin Power worked wonders, advancing five of his Divine Skills from the Long n, which were already at Perfection Realm, to the realm of Summit Mastery.


    With the fourteen he had before, that made neen in total.


    Only eleven were left.


    And in these days of arduous cultivation, his own cultivation level had also broken through to thete ninth level of Martial King.


    ¡°It¡¯s also time to go to the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    He had an agreement with Liang Yafei to meet in three months, and more than two months had already passed.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian set off with the Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python, leaving the Kirin Pce on a journey to the True Dragon Divine Sect!

 Chapter 219: Yang Xiaotian, Far from Enough

    Chapter 219: Yang Xiaotian, Far from Enough


    However, before heading to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian made a detour to Tiandou Academy.


    After all, he had been recruited as a disciple by the True Dragon Divine Sect, and he felt he should at least inform Fan Riquan from Tiandou Academy.


    Fan Riquan had shown him kindness and recognition.


    Knowing that he had been elevated to the status of disciple by the True Dragon Divine Sect would surely please him.


    But when Yang Xiaotian arrived at Fan Riquan¡¯s courtyard in the Tiandou Academy, he saw that the courtyard was crowded with many people.


    Xie Hong was also there.


    However, Fan Riquan was lying there, breathless.


    The moment Yang Xiaotian saw Fan Riquan, his mind thundered, and his face turned pale.


    Dead?!


    ¡°Who did it?!¡± Yang Xiaotian clenched his fists, his voice trembling.


    Xie Hong¡¯s voice was filled with sorrow, ¡°This morning, in the back mountain, a student discovered him. We¡¯ve examined the wound, and it appears he was killed with Tiandou Sword Technique.¡±


    Tiandou Sword Technique!


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and approached Fan Riquan¡¯s body. He saw that Fan Riquan¡¯s throat had been shed open by some sword technique, and the wound was deep.


    Seeing Fan Riquan lying there serenely, silent forevermore, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes moistened. After all, the person who had treated him the kindest in Tiandou Academy was undoubtedly Fan Riquan.


    The high hopes that Fan Riquan had ced in him.


    ¡°Rest assured, I will find the murderer,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a sorrowful and low voice, ¡°I will make him die by the same Tiandou Sword Technique.¡±


    This was his vow to Fan Riquan.


    It was also a pledge to everyone in Tiandou Academy.


    As the sun set in the west, Yang Xiaotian walked out of Tiandou Academy, his mood more somber than ever. The setting sun stretched his shadow long and lonesome.


    After leaving Tiandou Imperial City, Yang Xiaotian sat atop the Azure Thunder Python, silent.


    The Azure Thunder Python, knowing that Yang Xiaotian was in a foul mood, did not make a sound either.


    The sun gradually set.


    Night fell.


    The cold wind awakened Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon waking, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s thoughts were still on the matter of Fan Riquan.


    Given Fan Riquan¡¯s strength, the killer could definitely not be a teacher or student from Tiandou Academy.


    A thought shed through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind, and he remembered someone!


    Tian Chong!


    Fan Riquan had once mentioned that the former head of Tiandou Academy was killed, and the Tiandou Sword ended up in the hands of Tian Chong, the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    If the Tiandou Sword was in Tian Chong¡¯s hands, he would certainly know the Tiandou Sword Technique.


    Could it be that Fan Riquan, in the course of investigating clues, was discovered by Tian Chong, who then silenced him?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold.


    He hoped it wasn¡¯t true, for if it were, Tian Chong, you would be dead!


    Returning to the Imperial Capital and seeing his parents, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits finally lifted somewhat.


    This time going to the True Dragon Divine Sect, he nned to take his parents and others with him into the Sect.


    He was entitled to the treatment of a Core Disciple, which allowed him to bring a hundred people into the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Knowing that Yang Xiaotian was headed to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Long Lan and Qingxuan came to see him off.


    Qingxuan, with watery eyes, said, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you muste to the Imperial Capital to visit me often in the future, and I want to eat barbecued meat.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°Sure.¡±


    As Long Lan and Qingxuan watched, Yang Xiaotian and the others vanished into the sunlight.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back too.¡± Seeing Qingxuan unwilling to leave for a long time, Long Lan had no choice but to drag her stubborn niece back.


    ¡°If you want to be with your Brother Xiaotian, you¡¯ll have to work hard on your cultivation,¡± Long Lan said. ¡°And remember, you need to cultivate for your mother as well.¡±


    As Yang Xiaotian and the others hurried toward the True Dragon Divine Sect, within the Sect, Hu Yue, Zhu Miaomiao, and Wang Yao, the three women, gathered together.


    Zhu Miaomiao indignantly mentioned how Yang Xiaotian, upon joining the Sect, could freely peruse all the Sect¡¯s Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills.


    Upon hearing this, Hu Yue said angrily, ¡°What? Yang Xiaotian can just walk into the Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion and look at all the Cultivation Techniques, Secret Tomes, and Divine Skills? Why does he deserve that!¡±


    As the Sect Master¡¯s daughter, she wasn¡¯t entitled to such privileges; why should Yang Xiaotian, a mere Martial King, be so special!


    Zhu Miaomiao went on to say, ¡°That¡¯s not all; once he joined the Sect, all the medicinal herbs were at his disposal, whatever herbs he wanted for Alchemy, he could use for Alchemy.¡±


    As she said this, she nced at Wang Yao and added, ¡°That means, the Ten Thousand Years Green Vine and the Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit, these millennium medicinal herbs on Medicine Peak, he could use them if he wished!¡±


    Wang Yao, as a Direct Disciple of the Medicine Peak¡¯s peak master, couldn¡¯t contain her anger upon hearing this, ¡°Ten Thousand Years Green Vine, Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit, these millennium medicinal herbs, are even too precious for my master to use¡ªhow dare he!¡±


    Zhu Miaomiao then said to Hu Yue, ¡°Yang Ling¡¯er may be a level 14 Martial Soul and deserves special treatment, but Yang Xiaotian is only a level 11 Martial Soul, why should he receive anything special!¡±


    When Hu Yue heard Zhu Miaomiao bring up Yang Ling¡¯er, she flew into a rage, ¡°That wretched girl, Yang Ling¡¯er! A new Sect Disciple, what right does she have to cultivate in the True Dragon Secret Realm!¡±


    True Dragon Secret Realm was a ce where only one person a year could enter to cultivate. This year, it was supposed to be her turn to enter and cultivate, but as soon as Yang Ling¡¯er joined the Sect, she was arranged to go and cultivate there, taking away the spot that rightfully belonged to her.


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.


    The daughter of the Sect Master, her spot was snatched by a wretched girl who had just joined the Sect.


    In a fit of rage, Hu Yue stood up and said, ¡°I am going to see my father right now.¡± With that, she left the hall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    In the blink of an eye, two days passed.


    Yang Xiaotian and his group traveled day and night, finally arriving at the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s mountains loomed with Spirit Beasts running freely, countless torrents of spiritual springs flowing endlessly, and numerous Sect Disciples flying on swords.


    Everyone was amazed by the grandeur of one of the ten Supreme Sects.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s group arrived at the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect, a mountain protection disciple came over and asked Yang Xiaotian what his business was.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the Core Disciple token given to him by Liang Yafei, ¡°I am Yang Xiaotian, here to report to the True Dragon Divine Sect today.¡±


    The mountain protection disciple had evidently received orders from the higher-ups and was shocked to see that the young man in front of him was Yang Xiaotian. He quickly bowed and ushered Yang Xiaotian and the others into the Sect.


    Walking into the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and the others were mesmerized by the fairy-tale scenery within and were even more astonished by the roaring sound of the towering spiritual springs, making them reluctant to leave.


    Up ahead, a group of Inner Sect Disciples were talking among themselves.


    ¡°I heard that the Sect has specially recruited two new Disciples this time, one from Tiandou Academy named Yang Xiaotian, and the other from Unparalleled Academy named You Yi. Both of them, upon joining the Sect, have a status equivalent to Core Disciples!¡±


    ¡°That You Yi, born with the Five Elements Sword Body and Innate Sword Heart, is said to have already condensed the sixth Strongest Sword Heart! And he¡¯s only twelve years old¡ªthat¡¯s just astounding!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not all; he has already brought eight Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery! Soon, he will master all ten Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery! In the future, he is sure to condense an extraordinary Golden Core!¡±


    ¡°It has been a hundred years since our True Dragon Divine Sect has seen a disciple with an extraordinary Golden Core, hasn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°That Yang Xiaotian, who is just a level 11 Martial Soul, has only brought four Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, far behind You Yi!¡±


    ¡°I really don¡¯t understand what the Sect¡¯s higher-ups were thinking, to specially recruit such a person into the Sect, and allow him, upon joining, to enjoy the treatment of a Core Disciple.¡±

 Chapter 220 - 220 Tomorrow, I will go to her mountain peak to open up a bit.

    Chapter 220: Tomorrow, I will go to her mountain peak to open up a bit.


    Hearing the discussions of a group of Inner Sect Disciples ahead, the Mountain Protection Disciple escorting Yang Xiaotian to the Affairs Hall for registration felt somewhat embarrassed.


    Then, another Inner Sect Disciple said, ¡°I heard that after Yang Xiaotian entered the Sect, he can freely read all the Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills Secret Tomes in the Book Pavilion of the Sect.¡±


    ¡°That can¡¯t be true, even Core Disciples need to exchange Contribution Value to read the Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion¡¯s Cultivation Techniques and Secret Tomes!¡±


    ¡°So, now that the news has spread, Senior Brother, Miss Hu Yue, and many Core Disciples are very unhappy!¡±


    Hearing the discussion of that Inner Sect Disciple, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm.


    A momentter, the Mountain Protection Disciple led Yang Xiaotian and his group to the Affairs Hall.


    As soon as the Affairs Hall¡¯s Steward, He Feng, heard it was Yang Xiaotian, he hurriedly processed his registration, then issued Yang Xiaotian the clothes for Core Disciples and the first month¡¯s supply of Spirit Stones and Elixirs.


    Core Disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect could collect ten lower-grade Spirit Stones and one high-quality Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill every month.


    Ten lower-grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to one hundred thousand gold.


    In a year, that would be a million gold, which for Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and others, was a huge sum of money.


    However, for amodation, He Feng appeared quite troubled and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, the mountain peaks for Core Disciples have all been developed. How about you make do for now and stay in an Inner Sect Disciple¡¯s courtyard, what do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Before he came, he had learned about the rights of Core Disciples in the True Dragon Divine Sect; every Core Disciple had their own private mountain peak, which they could develop and build their own cave dwellings on.


    But now, He Feng was telling him that the mountain peaks were all taken?


    Although the courtyard for Inner Sect Disciples was also nice, it was just a courtyard, which was not convenient for cultivation and nting elixirs, nowhere near asfortable as owning a mountain peak.


    ¡°All taken?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in a deep voice, ¡°When will there be a mountain peak avable?¡±


    He Feng exined, ¡°Last month, a Junior Brother You Yi came to report, and just then all peaks had been developed. However, very soon, someone will be promoted to Saint Disciple and will move out, then there will be one avable.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian frowned again.


    That meant if no Core Disciple was promoted to Saint Disciple and moved out,


    he would have to squeeze into an Inner Sect Disciple¡¯s courtyard indefinitely?


    ¡°Xiaotian, let¡¯s just stay in the Inner Sect Disciple¡¯s courtyard for now, it¡¯s only temporary anyway,¡± Huang Ying interjected.


    Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and nodded.


    It was already gettingte, he would inquire about the situation with Hu Nan tomorrow.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian nod, He Feng quickly arranged a courtyard for Inner Sect Disciples for him.


    The courtyard for Inner Sect Disciples, measuring three to four hundred square meters, featured artificial mountains, gardens, and a backyard training area. If it were only Yang Xiaotian living and cultivating there, it would suffice, but for twenty people in his group, it was a bit cramped.


    The night grew darker.


    Yang Xiaotian stood levitating above the courtyard, gazing down at the nighttime view of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Under the moonlight, the True Dragon Divine Sect possessed a different kind of beauty.


    ¡°You Yi,¡± he murmured to himself.


    Unexpectedly, You Yi from the Unparalleled Academy had also been recruited early into the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    While Yang Xiaotian was gazing down at the nocturnal scenery of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Luo Qing came over and respectfully said, ¡°My lord, I have found out.¡±


    A short while ago, he had sent Luo Qing to investigate the issue of all the Core Disciple mountain peaks being developed.


    A mountain peak originally belonging to Core Disciples within a Sect being fully developed was certainly abnormal.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°The mountain peaks reserved for core disciples, a few of which had not yet been developed, were abruptly taken over by Hu Yue¡¯sckeys just a few days ago!¡±


    ¡°Not a single one was left for the young master,¡± Luo Qing replied.


    ¡°Oh, what you¡¯re saying is that Hu Yue knew I wasing, so she had herckeys develop all the remaining mountain peaks,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened.


    ¡°Yes, those mountain peaks are now inhabited by Hu Yue¡¯sckeys,¡± Luo Qing said with his head down, ¡°I also found out that Zhu Miaomiao has been spreading the word that you, young master, can freely ess the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion¡¯s cultivation techniques and Divine Skills.¡±


    ¡°This has caused many core disciples to resent you, young master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold: ¡°Zhu Miaomiao.¡±


    ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect has a True Dragon Secret Realm, which contains True Dragon Qi; training inside progresses at an astonishingly rapid rate. Each year, only one disciple is selected to enter for training. Hu Yue was the most likely to be chosen this year, but in the end, Miss Ling¡¯er was selected,¡± Luo Qing exined.


    Yang Xiaotian then understood why Hu Yue harbored animosity towards his sister.


    ¡°Actually, even before Miss Ling¡¯er was chosen, Hu Yue had always been envious of Miss Ling¡¯er¡¯s superior talents and had been targeting her in every way possible,¡± Luo Qing added.


    ¡°Does Hu Nan know about the mountain peaks matter?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    Referring to Hu Yue monopolizing several mountain peaks.


    ording to True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s rules, each core disciple is only allowed to develop one mountain peak.


    If every core disciple were to develop several mountain peaks, there wouldn¡¯t be enough within the entire True Dragon Divine Sect to amodate them all.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure,¡± Luo Qing shook his head, ¡°But He Feng from the Affairs Hall certainly knows about it. However, since Hu Yue is the Sect Master¡¯s daughter, and the Sect Master¡¯s wife is extremely indulgent towards Hu Yue, even if He Feng knows, he wouldn¡¯t dare to say anything.¡±


    After hesitating for a moment, he asked, ¡°Young master, what are you nning to do next?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied coldly, ¡°Since Hu Yue is so fond of developing mountain peaks, I will go to her mountain peak tomorrow and do a bit of development myself.¡±


    Luo Qing hesitated, ¡°Young master, after all, Hu Yue is the Sect Master¡¯s daughter.¡±


    ¡°What of the Sect Master¡¯s daughter?¡± Yang Xiaotian interjected.


    Luo Qing, not daring to say more, bowed and retreated.


    He sighed silently in his heart.


    Meanwhile, Hu Yue on her own mountain peak also learned of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival at the sect today.


    ¡°Now, Yang Xiaotian and his parents have been arranged to stay in the Inner Sect Disciple¡¯s courtyard by He Feng,¡± Hu Yue¡¯s maid, Chen Mei, said. She paused before adding, ¡°Miss, I fear that Yang Xiaotian might cause trouble.¡±


    ¡°So what if he kicks up a fuss,¡± Hu Yue sneered, ¡°I¡¯d like to see who dares to intervene! His entire family should count themselves lucky to be able to live in the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Inner Sect Disciple¡¯s courtyard ¡ª it¡¯s the good karma of several lifetimes!¡±


    But night was eventually going to pass.


    Yang Xiaotian ceased his cultivation.


    However, just as he was about to go and ¡®develop¡¯ Hu Yue¡¯s mountain peak, Deng Hongqing, the venerable elder of the True Dragon Divine Sect, came to find him with his disciples.


    After Deng Hongqing arrived, he made his intentions clear.


    ¡°You want to take me as your disciple?¡± Yang Xiaotian was somewhat surprised.


    Deng Hongqing smiled, ¡°Indeed.¡±


    At this moment, Deng Hongqing¡¯s disciple, Huang Xin, said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, my master is the best alchemist among the venerable elders of the True Dragon Divine Sect. Even the Sect Master isn¡¯t as skilled as my master when ites to alchemy. Many core disciples wish to be disciples of my master but never get the chance.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a rare opportunity that my master now wants to take you as his disciple, you should step forward and pay your respects quickly.¡±


    Deng Hongqing looked at Yang Xiaotian with eyes full of mirth.

 Chapter 221 - 221 Do You Think You’re Qualified?

    Chapter 221: Do You Think You¡¯re Qualified?


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Deng Qinghong and shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t have any ns to take a master for the time being.¡±


    Huang Xin and Deng Qinghong were both taken aback.


    Deng Qinghong, whose eyes were smiling and who was expecting Yang Xiaotian toe forward and acknowledge him as his master, had his smile freeze.


    He was one of the strongest old ancestors of the True Dragon Divine Sect, as well as the best at Alchemy in the sect. How could Yang Xiaotian refuse to ept him as his master?


    Huang Xin¡¯s expression darkened as he said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, my master is not only the best at Alchemy among the old ancestors of the True Dragon Divine Sect but also one of its strongest ancestors, an unparalleled existence in thete stage of the Saint Realm!¡±


    ¡°Have you thought it through?¡±


    ¡°You only have one chance!¡±


    Yet Yang Xiaotian still shook his head, ¡°As I said, I don¡¯t have any ns to take a master for the time being.¡±


    Late stage of the Saint Realm, an unparalleled existence?


    Even his Mount Beast, the Azure Thunder Python, was already in the Divine Spirit Realm. How could he ept a Saint Realm master?


    An existence like Deng Qinghong could be easily suppressed by the Azure Thunder Python with just one hand.


    Deng Qinghong¡¯s face looked somewhat displeased.


    He never expected that he, a distinguishedte-stage Saint Realm old ancestor, would be rejected by a disciple who had just joined the sect.


    To put it bluntly, the other party looked down on him!


    Huang Xin was also quite angry as he said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you may have created a Profound Level Elixir in the Martial King Realm, but don¡¯t think you can really be a Medicine God.¡±


    ¡°The title of Medicine God is not something you can aspire to.¡±


    ¡°Without my master¡¯s guidance, it¡¯s impossible for you to be a Medicine God.¡±


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Your master is one of the strongest ancestors of the True Dragon Divine Sect? But I¡¯ve heard that the strongest ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect is Li Zhengqing.¡±


    He had asked around.


    The True Dragon Divine Sect had two Divine Spirit Realm experts.


    One was Li Zhengqing.


    The other, the Guardian Divine Beast of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    When Yang Xiaotian mentioned Li Zhengqing, both Deng Qinghong and Huang Xin were taken aback.


    Huang Xin then looked at Yang Xiaotian with contempt, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re dreaming if you want to take our old ancestor as your master. It¡¯s sheer folly! Even your sister doesn¡¯t have the qualifications, and you¡¯re just an eleventh-level Martial Soul. Do you think you¡¯re worthy?¡±


    ¡°Your talent in Alchemy may be good, but if it weren¡¯t for the fact that you subdued the Divine me, you wouldn¡¯t even be qualified to acknowledge my master as yours.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had merely mentioned Li Zhengqing offhandedly, never expecting Deng Qinghong and Huang Xin to misinterpret it as his wish to ept Li Zhengqing as his master.


    Although Li Zhengqing was in the Divine Spirit Realm, like the Azure Thunder Python, he was only at the first level. If a fight actually took ce, it was uncertain if Li Zhengqing would be a match for the Azure Thunder Python.


    After all, the Azure Thunder Python came from a peak bloodline of Divine Beasts, the king of Divine Beasts.


    Of course, Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t consider taking Li Zhengqing as his master.


    However, he didn¡¯t bother to exin further.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯d better recognize reality,¡± Huang Xin said again, ¡°Being able to ept my master as yours is already your good fortune.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows furrowed.


    Huang Xin was about to say more when Deng Qinghong said in a deep voice, ¡°Forget it, just an eleventh-level Martial Soul, even acknowledging him as a nominal disciple would be embarrassing for me.¡± With that, he left with a flick of his sleeve.


    Seeing this, Huang Xin did not linger either and followed Deng Qinghong, taking off.


    The two disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    Seeing Deng Qinghong leave angrily, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t mind and continued flying to the mountain peak cave dwelling area of the Core Disciples with Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and the others.


    On the way, Wu Qi looked worried, ¡°Young Master, Deng Qinghong is an old ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect. By rejecting him, he might harbor resentment and make things difficult for you in the future.¡±


    ¡°No problem,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Wu Qi, upon hearing this, had no choice but to hold his tongue.


    Shortly after, a few people arrived at the area of the Core Disciples¡¯ cave dwellings.


    At a nce, one could see that the Core Disciples¡¯ mountains were arranged in an orderly fashion, with Spiritual Energy lingering around the peaks, Spiritual Springs flowing, Spiritual Medicine gleaming, and exotic trees reaching the sky.


    Compared to the living conditions, the mountain residences of the Core Disciples simply left the quarters of the Inner Sect Disciples behind by a great margin.


    The living quarters of the Inner Sect Disciples, whenpared to the mountains of the Core Disciples before them, were nothing but a slum.


    Yang Xiaotian inquired about the location of Hu Yue¡¯s mountain peak and headed straight there.


    In a short while, he arrived at the few peaks that Hu Yue¡¯s servants had recently begun to develop.


    Though it had only been a few days of development, these peaks had already been refined considerably, with various ces along the mountainside nted with Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Trees.


    On a conspicuous spot along the mountainside stood arge stone stele, which read ¡°Private Cave Dwelling, No Trespassing Allowed.¡±


    This stone stele was clearly erected by Hu Yue specifically for Yang Xiaotian to see.


    It was also a clear warning to Yang Xiaotian.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived, there were still people cultivating the medicine fields, nting Spiritual Medicine.


    These people were undoubtedly servants under Hu Yue.


    Yang Xiaotian paid no attention to these servants and continued to fly toward Hu Yue¡¯s main peak.


    A few days ago, Hu Yue had subdued a Unicorn and was about to ride out on it, when she saw several figures flying towards her.


    In a blink, they had arrived in front of her mountain peak.


    ¡°Miss, it looks like it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian!¡± a maid beside her eximed.


    Hu Yue was surprised; she did not expect Yang Xiaotian toe directly to her.


    She lifted her chin, with an arrogant face, ¡°Are you Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°Are you Hu Yue?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, his expression indifferent.


    One of Hu Yue¡¯s servants behind her immediately shouted, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, our miss is asking you a question, are you deaf? You only need to answer yes or no!¡±


    ¡°Quiet!¡± With a wave of his hand, Yang Xiaotian unleashed a Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint, and the servant at the peak of the Martial King Realm who stood behind Hu Yue was instantly sted away by the handprint, crashing into a distant mountain wall and falling unconscious.


    Seeing this, Hu Yue flew into a rage, her long whip angrily pointing at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you daree to my mountain and injure my people!¡±


    As the Sect Master¡¯s daughter, all the Core Disciples would treat her with utmost respect. Who would dare to harm her people!


    Yang Xiaotian had just arrived but already dared to injure her people!


    She flicked her whip towards Yang Xiaotian, and at the same time,manded her subordinates, ¡°Beat him until he¡¯s crippled!¡±


    ¡°If anything happens, I¡¯ll take responsibility!¡±


    ¡°Kill all the servants by his side!¡±


    Instantly, dozens of her underlings swarmed towards Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    One of them, with a long sword in hand, thrust towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold. ording to the rules of the True Dragon Divine Sect, for these subordinate servants toy a hand on a Core Disciple, that was a capital offense!


    Yet Hu Yue¡¯s servants still dared to act against him.


    It was evident how arrogant and domineering Hu Yue usually was for her subordinates to act so recklessly.


    Yang Xiaotian raised his hand and grabbed the whip from Hu Yue¡¯s hand, looking coldly at her and her servants.


    Just as Hu Yue¡¯s servants were attacking and nearly upon Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, the sky darkened.


    Hu Yue¡¯s servants looked up in shock, only to see the ck Flood Dragon King, massive as a mountain.


    Sensing the oppressive and inescapable aura of the ck Flood Dragon King, Hu Yue¡¯splexion changed, and she eximed in both shock and anger, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I am the Sect Master¡¯s daughter. If you dare touch a single hair on my head, you¡¯ll bemitting a capital offense!¡±


    As her words fell, she saw the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s giant tail sweeping towards her.

 Chapter 222: 222: I am the Sect Master’s Daughter

    As the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s massive tail swept by, a horrific sonic boom resounded.


    With Hu Yue¡¯s minions¡¯ faces turning pale, the colossal tail swept them away like dry leaves in a gale.


    Among Hu Yue¡¯s underlings were not a few Emperor Realm masters, yet, how could they withstand the ck Flood Dragon King at the Emperor Realm Peak?


    Watching all her subordinates being flung away, crashing deep into the mountainside, piercing through countless pces, Hu Yue was livid, her chest feeling as if it was about to explode.


    She stared at Yang Xiaotian with murderous eyes, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re dead, and so is this flood dragon of yours¡ªyou¡¯ll both die horribly!¡±


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Xiaotian said with a tug, snatching her whip from her hands.


    Hu Yue felt a pain in the hand holding the whip and saw her usually well-maintained, tender hands be bloodied andcerated.


    Seeing her typically pampered hands bloodied and torn by Yang Xiaotian, Hu Yue felt both pain and hatred, her eyes nearly shooting fire, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I am the Sect Master¡¯s daughter, my father will not let you off!¡±


    Listening to her constant mention of being the Sect Master¡¯s daughter, Xiaotian said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to tell me, I know you¡¯re the Sect Master¡¯s daughter.¡± Saying that, heshed out with the whip.


    He sent her flying with a direct hit.


    Hu Yue, smashed into the distance, felt a burning pain all over her body.<div>


    She was dumbfounded, ¡°You dare to whip me!¡±


    This whip had been specially crafted for her.


    She had always whipped those who dared defy her.


    And she did so with great ease.


    But she had never imagined that one day she too would be whipped by someone else.


    ¡°If you can whip others, why can¡¯t others whip you,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold, ¡°No one is more noble than anyone else.¡± Finished speaking, he threw her whip so it stuck into the mountain far away.


    ¡°Also, tell your underlings to get out of those mountain peaks today, otherwise, I¡¯lle back tomorrow.¡±


    After saying that, he left with the ck Flood Dragon King and Wu Qi.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian leave, Hu Yue spat blood from sheer rage, shouting hoarsely, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I will not let you off!¡±


    Looking at the mountainsides that had been reduced to rubble, Hu Yue was furious enough to storm heaven; it had taken her years to cultivate this scenery, and now it was all destroyed!


    Hu Yue stood up, swallowed an Elixir and without wiping the blood from her hands, mounted a Unicorn and flew towards her father¡¯s pce.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Hu Yue saw her parents, Hu Nan and Liu Ping.


    As Hu Yue had purposely not wiped the blood off her hands, allowing it to drip all over her, she looked quite frightening.


    Seeing Hu Yue covered in blood, Liu Ping paled and rushed to heal Hu Yue, her heart aching unbearably while angrily eximing, ¡°Who hurt you, who exactly did this?!¡±


    Hu Yue sobbed, ¡°Mother, it was Yang Xiaotian! That wretched girl Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s brother, he¡¯s the one who hurt me!¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Liu Ping eximed, her rage boiling, ¡°Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s wretched brother! Who gave him the gall to hurt you!¡±


    She turned to Hu Nan, ¡°You, as the Sect Master, look at the kind of people you¡¯ve recruited! Audacious to the extreme, daring to hurt my daughter the moment he enters the sect. Does he have any respect for the sect rules, does he regard us at all!¡±


    Hu Nan too frowned, summoning his chief disciple Fang Shaoqiang, ¡°Go and find out what exactly happened.¡±<div>


    Liu Ping, hearing this, angrily said, ¡°What¡¯s there to investigate, Yang Xiaotian has hurt our daughter, it¡¯s clear as day!¡± Then to Fang Shaoqiang, ¡°Go, arrest that Yang Xiaotian immediately!¡±


    Fang Shaoqiang couldn¡¯t help looking towards Hu Nan.


    Hu Nan scolded, ¡°Nonsense!¡± and then said to Fang Shaoqiang, ¡°Find out what happened.¡± He added, ¡°I want to know the real reason.¡±


    He knew that Fang Shaoqiang sometimes yed tricks behind his back with Liu Ping.<div>


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Fang Shaoqiang responded respectfully, bowing before exiting.


    Seeing this, Hu Yue wept to Liu Ping, ¡°Mother, you don¡¯t know, that Yang Xiaotian is so arrogant and overbearing. This morning when he came to my mountain peak, he attacked and injured people, and my cave dwelling has been reduced to ruins by Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Liu Ping eximed in anger upon hearing this, and said to Hu Nan, ¡°Listen to that! That Yang Xiaotian is so disdainful!¡±


    Hu Nan, however, stared at his daughter, ¡°Why would Yang Xiaotian specifically go to your mountain peak to hurt people?¡±


    Hu Yue mumbled, ¡°Who knows what kind of madness has taken him! Perhaps it¡¯s because he heard about me targeting his sister before, and he came today to vent his anger on her behalf.¡±


    Hu Nan wore a puzzled expression. Soon, Fang Shaoqiang, who had been sent to investigate, returned with a report and didn¡¯t dare to hide anything, exining the situation in detail.


    Upon finding out that his daughter had first seized Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mountain peak, Hu Nan immediately became furious with her, ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡±


    Hu Yue shrank behind Liu Ping.


    But Liu Ping said, ¡°Although it was your daughter who was at fault first, Yang Xiaotian indeed injured your daughter. His actions clearly show he doesn¡¯t consider us at all.¡±


    Hu Nan snorted, ¡°It¡¯s just a superficial wound.¡±


    At this point, Fang Shaoqiang said, ¡°Master, I also think Yang Xiaotian is too presumptuous! The reason he dared to act so brazenly and hurt Second Junior Sister must be, first, because he has tamed the Divine me, and second, because he has an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon at his side.¡±


    Liu Ping said, ¡°Shaoqiang is right, we should make him hand over the Divine me and that Flood Dragon! They need tighter control!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hu Nan immediately interrupted, ¡°Enough, let¡¯s not mention these matters anymore!¡± Then he turned to Hu Yue and said, ¡°Now go back and have your ves vacate those mountain peaks.¡±<div>


    ¡°If you dare to disregard the Sect¡¯s rules again, even if you are my daughter, I will punish you without mercy!¡±


    So, not long after Yang Xiaotian returned to the Inner Sect Disciples¡¯ residence, He Feng from the Affairs Hall came over to tell him that there were mountain peaks avable, asking Yang Xiaotian to move there.


    He let Yang Xiaotian choose one for himself.


    Yang Xiaotian naturally picked thergest one.


    That day, Yang Xiaotian and the others moved over.


    Originally, Hu Yue¡¯s ves had cultivated a herbal field on the mountain peak, but when they moved out, they sted the field to smithereens, obviously at Hu Yue¡¯s behest.


    Yang Xiaotian, apanied by his parents and Wu Qi, among others, walked a short loop atop the mountain peak, and gazing at the picturesque scene that resembled a heavenly pce, everyone grew happier the more they looked.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian asked everyone to start working on building shelters, as they couldn¡¯t exactly sleep under the open sky.


    All being experts, they managed to construct several spacious wooden houses by the time darkness fell.


    Although they were just wooden houses, the mountain peak was rich in Spiritual Energy and spacious; it was much morefortable and rxing than the Inner Sect Disciples¡¯ residence.


    Yang Xiaotian stood at the peak¡¯s summit, facing the wind and gazing into the distance.


    From now on, this would be his base of revolution, and he needed to improve and structure it properly.


    However, restructuring such arge mountain peak was indeed a mammoth task.<div>

 Chapter 223: 223 Slaughter that Tyrant Dragon

    That evening, everyone gathered around the campfire,ughing and joking.


    Yang Chao sighed, ¡°If only Ling¡¯er was here too, that would be perfect.¡±


    It had been a long time since their family had all been together.


    ¡°In a few more months, Ling¡¯er will be out of the True Dragon Secret Realm,¡± Yang Xiaotianforted his parents.


    Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s cultivation in the True Dragon Secret Realm was tost one year.


    She had already been inside for over seven months, with more than four months remaining before her return.


    However, it would be two more months until the New Year.


    So this year, Yang Ling¡¯er wouldn¡¯t be able toe out and celebrate the New Year with them.


    ¡°Once your sisteres out, our family will be together, happy and joyous,¡± Huang Ying said with a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled, ¡°When the girles out, I¡¯ll have to buy lots of lollipops for her.¡±


    Xiao Jin, upon hearing this, hurriedly said, ¡°Young Master, me too, I want some.¡±<div>


    The group burst into heartyughter.


    The night breeze was gentle.


    Unintentionally, the sky began to brighten.


    Early in the morning, Yang Xiaotian went to the Affairs Hall to find He Feng, asking him to hire people to help build his cave dwelling.


    Considering that it wasn¡¯t convenient for Sect Disciples to construct their own cave dwellings, the True Dragon Divine Sect Affairs Hall could hire people to help Core Disciples build theirs, but they would charge a fee in Spirit Stones.


    Of course, the price was not cheap.


    Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t short of Spirit Stones, so he didn¡¯t mind the cost.


    Soon, He Feng hired hundreds of workers to start construction on the mountain peak.


    Following Yang Xiaotian¡¯s instructions, they used only top-quality materials.


    These hundreds of workers were clearly skilled; very quickly, pce after pce was built.


    In just half a month, they constructed dozens of pces, the area of which was ten timesrger than the Azure Dragon Residence.


    But the price was ridiculously high.


    It cost over three million lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    Considering that the Azure Dragon Residence cost only a little over a hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, this was equivalent to more than twenty Azure Dragon Residences.


    Looking at the newlypleted cave dwelling, Yang Xiaotian was very satisfied, and he even gave He Feng an extra hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones, which greatly surprised him.


    After thepletion of the cave dwelling, Yang Xiaotian and the others threw a banquet to celebrate properly.


    Late into the night, when everyone had left, Yang Xiaotian entered his pce and sat down on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Quickly, over a thousand True Yuan Dragons enveloped Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.<div>


    After these days of diligent cultivation, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Yuan Dragons were approaching two thousand.


    Once he reached two thousand, his True Dragon Body would evolve into the True Dragon Tyrant Body.


    Once he achieved the True Dragon Tyrant Body, the strength and defense of his physical body would surge once again.


    When his True Yuan Dragons reached ten thousand, he would be able to condense the True Dragon Wings.<div>


    Then, with the True Dragon Wings spread on his back, he could attack, defend, and of course, use them as a shield from the rain if necessary.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent his days in the pce intensively cultivating Supreme Divine Powers and his nights practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    A month passed quickly.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation level broke through to the tenth level of the Martial King.


    At the same time, he brought another Swordsmanship Divine Ability to the peak of mastery.


    Adding to the previous neen, that made twenty.


    Despite this, Yang Xiaotian still felt that the cultivation of Supreme Divine Powers was too slow.


    After all, he would be able to break through to the peak of the Martial King¡¯s tenth level within three months at most.


    Within these three months, he must figure out a way to cultivate the other ten Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery.


    ¡°It seems that I need to find either the Innate Sword Spirit or the True Dragon Origin Force,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned the Iceme Qilin, the Azure Thunder Python, and the ck Flood Dragon King, and asked the three beasts about the Innate Sword Spirit and the True Dragon Origin Force.


    After all, the three beasts had been cultivating for many years and might know something.


    ¡°The Innate Sword Spirit is actually something the True Dragon Divine Sect possesses,¡± the Iceme Qilin said.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised, ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect has an Innate Sword Spirit?¡±


    ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect has a Sword Path. At the end of the Sword Path lies the Sword Sea, and within the Sword Sea, there must certainly be an Innate Sword Spirit,¡± the Iceme Qilin exined.


    ¡°Sword Path?¡± Yang Xiaotian had heard sect disciples mention the Sword Path before, but he didn¡¯t know much about it.


    ¡°Exactly, the Sword Path,¡± said the Iceme Qilin. ¡°You must traverse the Sword Path to reach its end. However, the Sword Path of the True Dragon Divine Sect is not easy to navigate. There are various Ancient Sword Steles erected along the way, and only byprehending these steles can one continue forward.¡±


    ¡°But in the tens of thousands of years of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s existence, not a single person has ever reached the end of the Sword Path.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian expressed his astonishment, ¡°Not a single person?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Iceme Qilin nodded. ¡°This Sword Path has existed since ancient times, and not even the monstrous geniuses of that era could reach its end.¡±


    A feeling of heaviness settled in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Actually, the True Dragon Divine Sect also possesses the True Dragon Origin Force,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python.


    Yang Xiaotian looked stunned.


    ¡°The Guardian Divine Beast of the True Dragon Divine Sect is a Tyrant Dragon,¡± said the Iceme Qilin with a hint of malice in its smile. ¡°If you were to ughter this Tyrant Dragon, then wouldn¡¯t you possess the True Dragon Origin Force?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian broke into a sweat.


    The Iceme Qilin spoke earnestly, ¡°If Old Meng and I joined forces, we should be able to ughter that Tyrant Dragon.¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile, ¡°Let¡¯s forget about that, and think of other methods.


    Having just be a disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect, ughtering their Guardian Divine Beast would be rather inappropriate, wouldn¡¯t it?


    Moreover, the True Dragon Divine Sect also had Li Zhengqing and numerous Saint Realm ancestors. If they were to join forces against him, it was uncertain who would be ughtering whom.


    ¡°Then you¡¯ll just have to wait until April to go to the Green Sea Dragon Pce,¡± the Iceme Qilin said.


    A thought crossed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind as he said, ¡°Old Bing, are you suggesting that the Green Sea Dragon Pce, besides the True Dragon Bead, also possesses True Dragon Origin Force?¡±


    The Iceme Qilin nodded, ¡°The Green Sea Dragon Pce was an ancient cultivation haven of powerful dragons from the Long n. It most definitely contains True Dragon Origin Force, and there should be more than just one dragon¡¯s Origin Force.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath. More than one?


    If that was the case, then he had hope of cultivating the remaining ten supreme divine abilities of the Long n to Summit Mastery.


    ¡°April.¡±


    It was already January.


    Three more months.


    Knowing that the Green Sea Dragon Pce contained True Dragon Origin Force, Yang Xiaotian felt much more rxed. However, he had been using up his Elixirs recently and decided to go to Medicine Peak to request some medicinal herbs for crafting the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    Yang Xiaotian left the pce and flew towards Medicine Peak.<div>


    As Yang Xiaotian was flying to Medicine Peak, Huang Xin, a disciple of Deng Qinghong, also arrived at Medicine Peak, where he was received by Wang Yao, the Personal Disciple of the Master of Medicine Peak.


    Huang Xin hade to Medicine Peak by order of Deng Qinghong to collect several medicinal ingredients for Deng Qinghong to craft Elixirs.


    ¡°Has Yang Xiaotiane to Medicine Peak to collect medicinal ingredients for Alchemy recently?¡± Huang Xin asked Wang Yao.


    Wang Yao shook her head, ¡°He hasn¡¯te to Medicine Peak in over a month.¡±


    Huang Xin said coldly, ¡°If hees to Medicine Peak to collect medicinal ingredients for Alchemy, tell him there are none! No matter what he asks for, there is none! This is themand of my master, got it?¡±


    Wang Yao nodded, ¡°I have already passed on the message.¡±


    Huang Xin sneered, ¡°Without medicinal ingredients, I want to see how he¡¯s going to craft Elixirs.¡±


    ¡°Without the ingredients for Alchemy, even if he has Divine me, it will be nothing but a waste!¡±

 Chapter 224: 224: Not a Single One

    Wang Yao said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yang Xiaotian won¡¯t be able to take even a single herb from Medicine Peak!¡±


    Then she disdainfully added, ¡°A mere junior disciple like him, dreaming of freely using the herbs from Medicine Peak, is delusional!¡±


    Little did they know, Yang Xiaotian was rapidly flying towards Medicine Peak at this very moment.


    As Yang Xiaotian flew, he saw an enormous peak rising straight into the sky before him, like a colossal sword piercing through the Nine Heavens.


    This was the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Sword Peak.


    The most famous features of the True Dragon Divine Sect were none other than Sword Peak and Medicine Peak.


    After joining the True Dragon Divine Sect, if one wished to be a disciple of Sword Peak, one had to pass Sword Peak¡¯s test, which was, of course, extremely rigorous.


    The same was true for those aspiring to be disciples of Medicine Peak.


    Therefore, within the True Dragon Divine Sect, the disciples of Sword Peak and Medicine Peak held an extraordinary status.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was passing Sword Peak, he saw a group of disciples flying out.


    ¡°Disciple You Yi has already perfected the nine Supreme Swordsmanship Divine Abilities to Summit Mastery! And he has even condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts, it¡¯s absolutely terrifying!¡±<div>


    ¡°It¡¯s inevitable that Disciple You Yi will condense a superior Golden Core! He will be the first disciple in a hundred years of our True Dragon Divine Sect to do so!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that even Ancestor Long Hao, who has been in seclusion for a hundred years, has emerged just to take You Yi as his direct disciple! And the date is set, right after the True Dragon trial ends, the mentorship ceremony will be held!¡±


    The group of Sword Peak disciples were frothing with excitement as they spoke.


    Ancestor Long Hao?


    Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment.


    In the True Dragon Divine Sect, the strongest elder was Li Zhengqing, at the first tier of the Divine Spirit, followed by Long Hao, who was at the peak of the tenth tier of the Saint Realm.


    It could be said that Long Hao held an unparalleled position within the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Moreover, Long Hao was the spiritual ancestor of the current leader of Sword Peak.


    To be taken as a direct disciple by Long Hao was an honor beyondpare.


    ¡°They say that Yang Xiaotian has also condensed five of the Strongest Sword Hearts,¡± another Sword Peak disciple chimed in at that moment.


    ¡°How can Yang Xiaotianpare to Disciple You Yi? He is only level eleven Martial Soul, whereas Disciple You Yi is a level thirteen Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian has only perfected four Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, but Disciple You Yi has mastered nine!¡±


    ¡°Recently, there was a rumor that Ancestor Deng Qinghong wanted to take Yang Xiaotian as his disciple, but Yang Xiaotian refused! I wonder if it¡¯s true or false!¡±


    ¡°It must be fake. Many disciples say it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian who wanted to be Ancestor Deng Qinghong¡¯s disciple, but it was Ancestor Deng Qinghong who refused him!¡±


    The group of Sword Peak disciples flew off with sneeringughs.


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    He had been refused mentorship by Deng Qinghong?


    Without a second thought, he knew it was a rumor fabricated by Deng Qinghong and his disciple Huang Xin.<div>


    Shortly after passing Sword Peak, Yang Xiaotian arrived at Medicine Peak.


    However, no sooner had Yang Xiaotian set foot on Medicine Peak than he was stopped by a disciple of the peak: ¡°Who are you, and what brings you to Medicine Peak?¡±


    ¡°I am Yang Xiaotian, here to collect herbs for alchemy,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied with a sped fist.


    The Medicine Peak disciple scrutinized Yang Xiaotian up and down: ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian? You¡¯re here to collect herbs, but do you have a writ from an ancestor or the Sect Master?¡±<div>


    ¡°A writ from an ancestor or the Sect Master?¡± Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, if you want to collect herbs from Medicine Peak, you must have a writ from an ancestor or the Sect Master,¡± the Medicine Peak disciple said mockingly, looking at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You don¡¯t mean to say you didn¡¯t know this, do you?¡±


    ¡°Before I joined the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, looking at the other person, ¡°Liang Yafei told me that once I join the True Dragon Divine Sect, all the medicinal herbs in the sect could be at my disposal.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Medicine Peak disciple burst outughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: ¡°All the medicinal herbs in the sect could be at your disposal?¡±


    ¡°Do you know that even Miss Hu Yue has to hold an edict from the Sect Master to take the herbs?¡±


    ¡°Who do you think you are?¡±


    ¡°If you keep spouting nonsense, don¡¯t me me for throwing you off the mountain!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to the nonsense, and grabbed the other person¡¯s neck directly.


    The Medicine Peak disciple, seeing Yang Xiaotian daring to make the first move, became furious: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve got some nerve! You¡ª¡±


    However, before he could finish his sentence, he was tossed away by Yang Xiaotian and rolled down the hill.


    Yang Xiaotian looked down coldly at the Medicine Peak disciple rolling down. The news that he could use all the medicinal herbs of the sect upon joining had already spread throughout the sect.


    He didn¡¯t believe that this Medicine Peak disciple didn¡¯t know about it.


    It was clear that the other party was acting on someone¡¯s orders to deliberately stop him.<div>


    He turned to look at Medicine Peak, his eyes sharp and cold, and continued towards the Medicine Hall halfway up the mountain.


    Just as Huang Xin and Wang Yao were chatting casually, suddenly, a loud boom echoed from the top of Medicine Peak, reverberating across the entire peak.


    Wang Yao¡¯s pretty face changed after being startled: ¡°Someone is breaking into Medicine Peak without permission!¡±


    At that moment, a Medicine Peak disciple rushed in, panic-stricken, and reported to Wang Yao, ¡°Senior Sister, Yang Xiaotian is breaking into Medicine Peak. He¡¯s almost here already! We, the disciples of Medicine Peak, simply can¡¯t stop him!¡±


    Wang Yao, shocked and furious upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian dared to trespass onto Medicine Peak and was quickly approaching, said, ¡°Come with me to take a look!¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± At this moment, a voice sounded, and a figure appeared, stepping on an Abnormal Fire. It was Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing the Abnormal Fire beneath Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet, both Wang Yao and Huang Xin eximed in shock: ¡°Earth me!¡±


    The Abnormal Fire beneath Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet was the number one Abnormal Fire, the Earth me.


    Over these days, he had bepletely familiar with controlling the Earth me.


    The Earth me, as if surging from the earth itself, carried Yang Xiaotian aloft.


    Yang Xiaotian had just been wondering who had ordered the Medicine Peak disciple to stop him. Now, seeing Huang Xin, he understood some things.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian staring coldly at him, Huang Xin, with a fierce exterior but inner trepidation, shouted, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, as a disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect, you trespass onto Medicine Peak and injure a Medicine Peak disciple. Do you still have any respect for the rules and regtions of the True Dragon Divine Sect?¡±


    ¡°ording to the rules of the True Dragon Divine Sect, not only will you be stripped of your Core Disciple status, but you will also¡ª¡±<div>


    However, just as he was speaking, the ck Flood Dragon King materialized behind Yang Xiaotian.


    The ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s eyes, asrge as smallkes, stared coldly at him.


    Huang Xin¡¯s voice came to an abrupt halt.


    Yang Xiaotian retracted the Earth me, looked at Wang Yao, and said coldly, ¡°You must be Wang Yao? Before I joined the True Dragon Divine Sect, your sect said all the medicinal herbs could be at my disposal. I¡¯vee today to take medicinal herbs for alchemy.¡±


    With that, he flicked his finger, and a list of herbs for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill flew into Wang Yao¡¯s hands.


    Wang Yao looked at the list of herbs for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill in her hands and shook her head, ¡°The herbs for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill were used up yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Used up?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained calm.


    Without changing her expression, Wang Yao said, ¡°Yes, used up. There¡¯s not a single one left.¡±


    At this moment, a Medicine Peak disciple who didn¡¯t know what was happening walked out from the Inner Hall and said to Huang Xin, ¡°Brother Huang Xin, here are ten sets of herbs for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill that we¡¯ve prepared for you.¡±


    Huang Xin hade today to collect the ingredients for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill as well.

 Chapter 225: 225 True Dragon Assessment

    Wang Yao¡¯s face couldn¡¯t have been more awkward, for she had just said there was not a single portion avable.


    Yet, in the blink of an eye, the disciples of Medicine Peak had taken out ten portions for Huang Xin.


    Yang Xiaotian stared coldly at Wang Yao.


    Trying to maintain herposure with a normal expression, Wang Yao said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, let me tell you the truth, there are indeed medicinal materials for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, and plenty of them, but you can forget about taking even a single piece of them from our Medicine Peak!¡±


    ¡°The medicinal materials of our Medicine Peak will not be given to you, not to anyone!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained cold, ¡°Is this your personal sentiment, or is it the opinion of the master of Medicine Peak?¡±


    Wang Yao took a deep breath, ¡°This is my sentiment, as well as my master¡¯s, and also that of all the disciples from the entire Medicine Peak!¡±


    Just then, amanding voice rang out, ¡°Indeed, this is the sentiment of our entire Medicine Peak.¡±


    A tall figure flew in from the distance.


    ¡°Master!¡± Seeing the neer, Wang Yao¡¯s face lit up with joy as she went to greet him.


    The person who arrived was none other than the master of Medicine Peak, Tang Mu.<div>


    ¡°Senior Brother Tang.¡± Huang Xin did not dare to act carelessly and stepped forward to greet him.


    Tang Mu nodded andnded in front of the crowd, looking at Yang Xiaotian coldly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, let me tell you the truth, there is no way you are getting any medicinal materials from Medicine Peak today!¡±


    ¡°Not just today, it will be impossible in the future as well!¡±


    Tang Mu stated this in a categorical manner.


    ¡°Is that so.¡± Yang Xiaotian, however, became calm,


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t think that just because you have an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon, you can do whatever you want in the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± Tang Mu said coldly, ¡°I will capture you now and then kill that Emperor Realm Flood Dragon of yours!¡±


    As he spoke, his aura surged, clearly at the peak of the Emperor Realm.


    Moreover, mes swirled around Tang Mu¡¯s body, and two Abnormal Fires flew out.


    Just as Tang Mu was about to make his move, suddenly, arge group of figures tore through the sky and approached.


    Seeing thisrge group, Tang Mu¡¯s face changed, and he hastily stopped, going up with Wang Yao, Huang Xin, and all the present disciples of Medicine Peak to meet them.


    ¡°Tang Mu pays his respects to the Sect Master!¡±


    ¡°We pay our respects to the Sect Master!¡±


    Wang Yao, Huang Xin, and all the disciples of Medicine Peak bowed in salutation.


    The neers were none other than the Sect Master of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Hu Nan, his wife Liu Ping, and his foremost disciple, Fang Shaoqiang, among others; Hu Yue also followed behind Hu Nan.


    Liu Ping nced at the ck flood dragon behind Yang Xiaotian and said to Hu Nan, ¡°I¡¯ve said before that Yang Xiaotian should hand over the Divine me and flood dragon, and be watched more closely. If you had listened to me, so many disciples of Medicine Peak wouldn¡¯t have been hurt today!¡±


    Hearing Liu Ping spouting such nonsense again, Hu Nan¡¯s face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly, ¡°Silence!¡±


    Liu Ping hadn¡¯t expected Hu Nan to reprimand her so harshly in public, and her face looked somewhat ugly.


    Turning his head, Hu Nan looked toward Tang Mu, ¡°Tang Mu, if I remember correctly, you¡¯ve been the master of Medicine Peak for seventy-six years, haven¡¯t you?¡±<div>


    Feeling rmed, Tang Mu stepped forward quickly, ¡°Yes, seventy-six years and three months.¡± Then he started to exin, ¡°Sect Master, about today¡¯s incident¡­¡±


    ¡°No need to exin; I already know,¡± Hu Nan interrupted, his eyes cold, ¡°Tang Mu, I recall giving an order before that Yang Xiaotian was to have ess to the medicinal materials of Medicine Peak at his discretion upon joining the Sect.¡±


    Tang Mu attempted to defend himself, ¡°I was just worried that Yang Xiaotian would recklessly take our Medicine Peak¡¯s medicinal materials and use them for profit.¡±


    ¡°I did this for the Sect¡¯s interest as well.¡±<div>


    Hu Nan snorted coldly, ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking?¡±


    Tang Mu¡¯s forehead broke out in cold sweat.


    ¡°In the future, when Xiaotianes to Medicine Peak to get medicinal materials, I don¡¯t want to see today¡¯s incident happen again,¡± Hu Nan spoke.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Master,¡± Tang Mu said, his scalp tingling.


    Hu Nan¡¯s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and he said with a smile, ¡°So you¡¯re Ling¡¯er¡¯s brother, Xiaotian, right? Originally, I wanted to visit your mountain peak a few days ago, but these past days have been so busy that it was dyed.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian sped his fists and said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen the Sect Master.¡± Then he added, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master.¡±


    Hu Nan waved his hand andughed, ¡°What¡¯s there to thank me for? I regard Ling¡¯er as my daughter, and since you are her brother, just call me Uncle Hu from now on.¡±


    Then he asked, ¡°The True Dragon Assessment is in a few months, how has your cultivation been these days?¡±


    The True Dragon Assessment is a kind of evaluation for new disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    When the timees, not only You Yi, but also Yang Xiaotian and all other new disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect will have to participate.


    Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master, for your concern. I have been lucky enough to cultivate one Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery not long ago.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hu Nan¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°Oh? Does that mean you have already cultivated five Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery?¡± Then he said joyfully, ¡°Good! It¡¯s rare! I¡¯ve long heard that you are a Martial Dao prodigy. Keep up the good work, and strive for a good result in the True Dragon Assessment!¡±


    Then he said with a smile, ¡°The rewards for this True Dragon Assessment are very generous, especially for the first ce, who will get to train in the True Dragon Secret Realm.¡±<div>


    ¡°Training in the True Dragon Secret Realm.¡± Something stirred in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    He practiced the Primordial Dragon Art, and if he could train in the True Dragon Secret Realm, absorbing the True Dragon Qi there, the benefits were self-evident.


    ¡°Yes, training in the True Dragon Secret Realm,¡± Hu Nan said with a smile.


    Then he chatted with Yang Xiaotian for a while before leaving with everyone.


    After leaving Medicine Peak, Hu Yue huffed, ¡°Just having cultivated five Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, what¡¯s there to be proud of? Brother You Yi has cultivated all nine Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery!¡±


    Liu Ping also sneered, ¡°From his look, he seems to want to train in the True Dragon Secret Realm. He¡¯s simply daydreaming. When the timees, he probably won¡¯t be able to withstand even a single move from You Yi.¡±


    Hu Nan frowned, ¡°Say less!¡±


    Although his wife¡¯s words were unpleasant, he had to admit that, from the current situation, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength was still far inferior to You Yi¡¯s.


    You Yi had already condensed six of the Strongest Sword Heart, mastered nine Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, and was about to condense a top-grade Golden Core. By the time of the True Dragon Assessment, You Yi should be able to condense a top-grade Golden Core already.


    By then, Yang Xiaotian might indeed be unable to withstand even one move from You Yi.


    Thinking of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s refusal to take Deng Qinghong as his master, Hu Nan felt somewhat troubled.


    He truly hoped that Yang Xiaotian would be Deng Qinghong¡¯s disciple, as Deng Qinghong was the ancestor with the highest level of Alchemy in the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Logically speaking, Yang Xiaotian should have been delighted to be epted as a disciple by Deng Qinghong, and Hu Nan couldn¡¯t understand why Yang Xiaotian had refused.<div>


    After Hu Nan and the others left, Medicine Peak¡¯s master Tang Mu had no choice but to dutifully retrieve the medicinal materials and hand them over to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian took the materials and soared away.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian leave, Tang Mu¡¯s expression was dark and turbid.


    ¡°Master, this is too unfair. Why should Yang Xiaotian, a mere new disciple, be allowed to freely use the medicinal materials from our Medicine Peak!¡± Wang Yao still felt indignant and said angrily.


    Tang Mu said sinisterly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, his arrogance won¡¯tst much longer. The True Dragon Assessment ising soon, and I¡¯ll make sure he loses all face during the assessment.¡±

 Chapter 226: 226: Dare Not Trespass the Sword Path

    After returning from Medicine Peak, Yang Xiaotian began to refine the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    During the alchemy process, he allowed Wu Qi, Luo Qing, Ate, Ali, and others to watch by his side.


    This time, he still used both the Medicine Array and Gale Torrential Rain techniques for refining pills.


    At the Empire Pharmacist Competition, he had used Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Now, he had reced the Nine Phoenixes Golden me with Earth me.


    The Earth me is considered the number one Abnormal Fire, vastly more powerful than the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Additionally, with the significant increase in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength over these days, refining the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill became much easier for him.


    However, what he produced was still of the highest quality.


    This was also within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expectations, as he was only in the Martial King Realm; it was exceedingly difficult to refine the ultimate Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian refined three more pills, each also of the highest quality.


    The Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill wasn¡¯t needed by Yang Xiaotian, Luo Qing, and the others, so he gave all four pills to Wu Qi for cultivation.<div>


    Wu Qi had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor for many years and was now on the verge of a breakthrough, which was imminent.


    With these four Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pills, Wu Qi¡¯s breakthrough would be much smoother.


    Over the past month or so, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing select eighty people from their ves, and after Luo Qing and the others made repairs, the entire mountain peak had changed significantly.


    Originally, there were no paths on the mountain peak.


    Now, pathways had already been created.


    Outside the cave mansion, a huge martial arts training ground had also been constructed.


    Ordinarily, Luo Qing, Liu An, Liao Kun, and the others would spar and exchange pointers on the training ground.


    Also, within the mountain, ten plots of fields had been prepared, filled with a multitude of spiritual medicines.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing create a hundred-acre orchard.


    Inside it, a variety of rare spirit fruit trees were nted.


    With the nourishment of the mountain¡¯s spiritual energy, it wouldn¡¯t take many years for the spirit fruit trees to mature, providing an endless supply of exquisite fruits each year.


    This was the advantage of owning a mountain peak.


    It was something that couldn¡¯t bepared to the yards of the Inner Sect Disciples.


    Yang Xiaotian also selected a massive stone, sculpted it into a stele using Sword Qi, and then erected it at the summit of the mountain. He inscribed on it: Heaven-Prating Peak.


    From then on, his mountain would be called Heaven-Prating Peak.


    One day, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python and asked about the mysterious entity in the Red Moon Forest.


    Although he now had the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python by his side, Yang Xiaotian still felt his power was insufficient.


    ¡°Master wants to subdue Old ck?¡± asked the Iceme Kylin.<div>


    ¡°Old ck?¡± Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    The Iceme Kylin nodded: ¡°Hundreds of years ago, I pped paws with Old ck. It was shrouded in darkness, its eyes terrifyingly red, and its body was immensely huge.¡± Remembering the scene from hundreds of years ago still made the Iceme Kylin¡¯s heart flutter: ¡°Damn it, that creature¡¯s strength was simply unbearably fierce. With one swipe of my paw, I could split mountains and rift the earth.¡±


    ¡°But with one swipe from that creature, it could definitely make the seas disappear.¡±


    Clearly, the Iceme Kylin had suffered a great loss during that paw sh.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised: ¡°Enshrouded in darkness!¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python hadn¡¯t expected that hundreds of years ago, Old Bing had shed with that exceedingly fearsome entity from the Red Moon Forest.


    ¡°So you mean, it¡¯s a Dark System Divine Beast?¡± The Azure Thunder Python was stunned.


    The Iceme Kylin nodded: ¡°Definitely, it¡¯s from the Dark System, but as for what its true form is, I can¡¯t be sure. It stood taller than Old Meng, that much I¡¯m confident about.¡±


    ¡°Taller than me?¡± The Azure Thunder Python was shocked.


    When it coiled up, it was bigger than a mountain.


    If the other¡¯s true form was evenrger than itself, it must be enormous.


    ¡°Old Bing, how strong is the opponent?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help asking.


    The Iceme Qilin wore a grave expression, ¡°Very strong, I was flipped over by it and knocked back several miles.¡±


    A sh of ws.


    To have flipped the Iceme Qilin several miles away!


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    Old Bing is a Super Divine Beast, its strength is immense as one might imagine, yet it was still flung several miles away by the opponent.<div>


    No wonder it said that the opponent¡¯s strength was brutally overwhelming.


    ¡°If I were to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm, perhaps I would have the strength to fight against it,¡± said the Iceme Qilin. ¡°But to subdue it, that¡¯s difficult!¡±


    There¡¯s a difference between having the strength for a battle and actually being able to subdue the opponent.


    ¡°Even if you join forces with Old Meng, it won¡¯t work?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°It won¡¯t work,¡± the Iceme Qilin shook its head.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but awaken the Medicine Cauldron.


    Master Ding saidzily, ¡°No big deal, just give me some Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and I can use my Meteor Tumble anytime.¡±


    ¡°Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    The Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water took him a tremendous effort to barely obtain.


    Where could he find Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?


    ¡°Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water won¡¯t do?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water won¡¯t do,¡± Master Ding clearly stated.


    It seemed that he had to find Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.<div>


    After getting a clear response from Master Ding, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to ask Luo Qing to inquire about the Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Another ten days passed.


    During these days, Yang Xiaotian mainly practiced the Long n Divine Ability and Thunderp Nine Heavens on the mountain peak.


    He had mastered over twenty techniques of Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    However, he was still far from the full count of forty-nine techniques.


    Thus, it would still take some time to open the pce in the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.


    Yang Xiaotian felt that inside that pce there should be Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and possibly even Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Apart from Yang Xiaotian practicing diligently, everyone on Heaven-Prating Peak was also practicing urgently.


    Previously, the Iceme Qilin had killed an Ice Dragon of the tenfold Saint Realm, giving its True Dragon Origin Force to Yang Xiaotian, but there was also an Ice Dragon Pearl that neither it nor the Azure Thunder Python needed, so they gave it to the ck Flood Dragon King.


    After assimting the Ice Dragon Pearl, the ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s bloodline drew one step closer to that of a Divine Beast.


    Since the New Year was approaching, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing and the others to go shopping for New Year¡¯s goods at the Azure Dragon Commerce Association.


    In the afternoon, after Luo Qing returned from the shopping, he reported to Yang Xiaotian the information he had gathered, ¡°Young master, everyone in the True Dragon Divine Sect is talking about You Yi¡¯s great progress on the Sword Path.¡±


    You Yi was an early special recruited seed disciple and was also chosen by Long Hao, destined to be Long Hao¡¯s Direct Disciple, so every single action of his was closely watched by all disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect.<div>


    ¡°You Yi has already reached the third Sword Stele,¡± said Luo Qing.


    ¡°Oh, the third Sword Stele already,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, slightly surprised.


    The Sword Path had a total of eighteen Sword Steles, and You Yi, having been in the True Dragon Divine Sect for just over two months, had already reached the third one¡ªthis speed was indeed fast.


    Luo Qing nodded, ¡°In just over two months, reaching the third Sword Stele, You Yi has broken the record of the True Dragon Divine Sect. It has even caught the attention of the higher echelons of the sect, with some saying that You Yi might even make it to the end of the Sword Path.¡±


    At this, Luo Qing hesitated, ¡°Many disciples are also saying that you, young master, don¡¯t dare to take on the Sword Path because you are afraid.¡±


    ¡°Afraid? What am I afraid of?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help butugh.


    During these days, he had been practicing the Long n Divine Ability and Thunderp Nine Heavens at Heaven-Prating Peak, oblivious to external affairs, and he didn¡¯t expect people to be instigating rumors.


    ¡°They say you¡¯re afraid of losing to You Yi, which is why you don¡¯t dare to take on the Sword Path.¡±

 Chapter 227: 227: The Whereabouts of the Myriad Dragons Divine Flame

    In response, Yang Xiaotian simply smiled it off.


    Right now, the most important thing for him was to cultivate his Divine Skills and form the strongest Golden Core!


    Once he formed the strongest Golden Core and broke through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, it wouldn¡¯t be toote to challenge the Sword Path.


    However, with Tiandou Academy¡¯s Sword Tower having eighteen floors, and True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Sword Path having eighteen Sword Steles, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but wonder if there was some connection between the two?


    ¡°Have you found any news about the Myriad Dragons Divine me?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    His main purpose for joining the True Dragon Divine Sect was originally to obtain the Myriad Dragons Divine me.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine me was ranked fourteenth among Divine mes.


    The Myriad Dragons Divine me was ranked eleventh among Divine mes.


    If he could obtain the Myriad Dragons Divine me, using both great Divine mes for alchemy at the same time would certainly be awe-inspiring and cause tremors across all directions.


    Luo Qing shook his head, ¡°No, all disciples of True Dragon Divine Sect know about the Myriad Dragons Divine me, but nobody knows where it actually is.¡±


    ¡°It seems that only the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect or the former Sect Masters know the location of Myriad Dragons Divine me.¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    If that was the case, it was quite troublesome.


    He couldn¡¯t exactly have the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python kidnap Hu Nan and then put a knife to his throat, demanding, ¡°Hey, old man, where¡¯s the Myriad Dragons Divine me?¡±


    Since the Myriad Dragons Divine me was hidden so secretively, then it definitely wasn¡¯t in a ce that would be easy to find.


    ¡°Perhaps, the Myriad Dragons Divine me is inside the True Dragon Secret Realm,¡± ck Flood Dragon King suddenly said.


    ¡°True Dragon Secret Realm!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression brightened.


    Even though it was just ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s spection, the Myriad Dragons Divine me could very well be within the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    After all, not everyone could enter the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    With that in mind, he was determined to take first ce in the True Dragon Exam this time.


    ¡°Young master, I¡¯ve heard that during the True Dragon Exam, many superpowers, including the ten Supreme Sects of the Empire, Green Lotus Tavern, and the Imperial Family, will all send experts to participate,¡± Luo Qing said.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    ¡°Because Long Hao is taking You Yi as a disciple, and the mentorship ceremony is set for the day after the True Dragon Exam ends. Long Hao taking a disciple is a major event in the Empire, hence many supreme forces will send experts to attend,¡± Luo Qing exined.


    No wonder, Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    However, if the Imperial Family was sending experts, then Long Lan and Qingxuan should being too, right?


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian instructed Luo Qing to continue gathering information about other Divine mes and the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    He wasn¡¯t interested in other Abnormal Fires, but he still intended to subdue the top ten Abnormal Fires.


    After sending Luo Qing away, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t proceed to cultivate; instead, he leisurely walked out of the pce and decided to stroll around the mountain at random.


    He had been cultivating almost non-stop these days and hadn¡¯t really had the chance to properly explore Heaven-Prating Peak.<div>


    When he passed by the orchard, he found his parents busy pruning the fruit trees, and Yang Xiaotian quickly stepped forward, ¡°Father, Mother, you can let your subordinates handle these tasks.¡±


    Huang Ying smiled and said, ¡°Ling¡¯er loves all kinds of fruits, and when shees out, she will be beyond happy to see so many delicious fruits.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled at this, indeed, the girl loved sweets in addition to fruits.


    Knowing the girl¡¯s fondness for fruit, he had nted such arge fruit garden, filled with the fruits she liked to eat.<div>


    Seeing his parents busy, Yang Xiaotian also started to help.


    In the blink of an eye, a few days passed by.


    The New Year had arrived.


    In the True Dragon Divine Sect, every peak and every hall was bustling with activity, festive and lively.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heaven-Prating Peak was just as busy and festive, and he gave every person on the Peak a big red envelope.


    Xiao Jin, with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s big red envelope in hand, couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°Young master, your red envelopes are getting more generous every year. Now, the money in your red envelopes can buy me candy for many years.¡±


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying also handed out big red envelopes to everyone, with thergest one for Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian happily epted the generous red envelope from his parents.


    ¡°Xiaotian, in another two years, you¡¯ll be as tall as me,¡± Huang Ying said with a smile while looking at her son.


    After the New Year, Yang Xiaotian would be ten years old.


    Due to his cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art, Yang Xiaotian was taller than other children his age, already over one meter forty, and he naturally carried a presence that made him quite handsome.


    Yang Chao, looking at his son, was filled with deep emotions. Time really flies; it just seemed like a few years ago they were celebrating the New Year at the Yang Family Manor. He never imagined that one day his son and daughter would be disciples of one of the Empire¡¯s ten Supreme Sects.


    The first day of the New Year.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian took his parents out for a good tour around the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The gates of the True Dragon Divine Sect were evenrger than those of the Imperial Capital, with its peaks, halls, spiritual mountains, spiritual waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant.


    Previously, every year, everyone would simply stroll through the streets. This year, however, they wandered through mountains and waters, experiencing a different kind of New Year.


    Yet, when Yang Xiaotian and his group were about to head back, they encountered Hu Yue and her followers on the way.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian, Hu Yue¡¯s face didn¡¯t hold a speck of friendliness, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I heard you named your peak Heaven-Prating Peak. What a grand im! Those who don¡¯t know might even think you¡¯re the Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, ¡°I heard you named your peak Sword God Peak. Your im seems even grander; those who don¡¯t know might think you are a certain female Sword God.¡±


    ¡°You!¡± Hu Yue¡¯s face turned red with anger.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t bother with her anymore and left with his group.


    Hu Yue was so angry her teeth itched.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, Hu Yue said furiously, ¡°Just wait. When it¡¯s time for the True Dragon examination, I¡¯ll make sure both you and your sister regret it!¡±


    The True Dragon examination was an event all new disciples had to participate in. Although Hu Yue and Yang Ling¡¯er had joined the True Dragon Divine Sect before Yang Xiaotian, they were also considered new disciples, so they would participate as well.


    The New Year passed quickly.


    Yang Xiaotian resumed his daily cultivation.<div>


    Through his arduous training, he had brought all the Supreme Divine Powers of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure of the Long n to the Perfection Realm.


    As for Shadow Night Walk and Thunderp Nine Heavens, he also made rapid progress, especially with Shadow Night Walk, which he cultivated to the very pinnacle of Great Aplishment, just shy of reaching Perfection.


    As for his own cultivation level, it had reached the peak of the Martial King¡¯s tenyers.


    Although it was only February, the journey to the Green Sea Dragon Pce was long, so Yang Xiaotian nned to set off more than a month early.


    Since this departure would take several months, Yang Xiaotian told his parents he needed to take a long trip. Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian would be gone for a few months, both Yang Chao and Huang Ying couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°Father, Mother, there¡¯s no need for worry. I will definitely return for the True Dragon examination.¡±


    ¡°Why not wait until Ling¡¯eres out of the True Dragon Secret Realm before you leave?¡± Huang Ying suggested.


    In half a month, Yang Ling¡¯er would be out of the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    No,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head and took out a Space Ring, ¡°This contains the candy I bought for Ling¡¯er.¡±


    Then, under the watchful eyes of Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and the others, he used the Skywalking Thousand Swords technique and disappeared into the sky.


    This time, he only brought the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python; the ck Flood Dragon King was left at Heaven-Prating Peak.


    Yang Xiaotian still rode atop the Azure Thunder Python as he flew.


    Half a monthter, they entered the Four States Empire.<div>

 Chapter 228: 228: Green Sea God Sect

    Chapter 228: Green Sea God Sect


    Upon entering the Four States Empire, Yang Xiaotian could distinctly feel the differences between the two empires.


    First was the architectural style.


    The cities of the Four States Empire, with their walls, were almost entirely draped in green vegetation.


    Many cities hadkes, bothrge and small, within them.


    Secondly, the cultivation techniques. The disciples of the sects in the Four States Empire mostly cultivated water-based cultivation techniques.


    Along the way, the disciples he encountered inbat almost always used water-based martial arts and divine skills.


    ¡°The Four States Empire has four continents, which are actually four great seas,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°The four great seas nearly make up half the area of the Four States Empire.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, many sects of the Four States Empire are established on inds.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Among the four seas, the Green Sea is thergest.<div>


    And since the Green Sea lies in the extreme north of the Four States Empire, that was why he had to set out more than a month early.


    After entering the Four States Empire, the two of them did not stop and headed towards the Bitian Continent.


    On the road, Yang Xiaotian was not idle; besides continuing to cultivate the Supreme Divine Power of the Long n, he was alchemizing.


    Sitting on his mount beast, alchemizing while flying, probably only Yang Xiaotian alone could boast of such a feat in the world.


    However, he wasn¡¯t refining the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, but rather the unparalleled Nine Suns Longevity Pill, which made the process somewhat less difficult.


    Now, he was already at the peak of the Martial King¡¯s tenth level, with a breakthrough to Martial Ancestor imminent. To condense a Golden Core, he would need a huge amount of True Yuan support, so he had to prepare arge batch of unparalleled Nine Suns Longevity Pills in advance.


    Even though he had already refined three to four dozen Nine Suns Longevity Pills, he was worried that it wouldn¡¯t be enough and continued to produce more.


    After all, the Golden Core he would condense was going to be the strongest, and the number of Nine Suns Longevity Pills he would need was bound to be an astonishing figure.


    The journey was uneventful.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Green Sea, it was already over a dozen dayster.


    Looking across the horizon, Yang Xiaotian could see only the blue sea under the clear sky, the ocean stretching as far as the eye could see.


    Above the sea, sect disciples could be seen everywhere riding flying creatures.


    On the sea surface, there were all kinds of ships: iron ships, wooden ships, and even huge warships. These behemoths, some dozens of stories high, were popted with disciples and guards from various sects.


    These warships all belonged to the great superpower forces of the Four States Empire.


    Not to attract attention, Yang Xiaotian put away the Azure Thunder Python and used the Skywalking Thousand Swords technique to fly.


    ¡°Deep in the Green Sea, there areyers of radiance, and the sound of dragon chants can be heard. It is said that a peerless treasure of the Long n is about to appear, we must hurry over!¡±


    ¡°Even if we rush over, it¡¯s useless. The Green Sea God Sect has already sealed off the deep sea area; no one can get in.¡±


    As Yang Xiaotian flew towards the deeper parts of the Green Sea, he heard many sect disciples discussing along the way.


    These disciples were almost all talking about the imminent appearance of the peerless Long n treasure in the depths of the Green Sea.<div>


    However, upon learning that the Green Sea God Sect had already sealed off the deep sea area, Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.


    The Green Sea God Sect was the strongest superpower force in the Four States Empire, even stronger than the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    If they really had sealed off the deeper parts of the Green Sea, that was a serious problem.


    Several dayster.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian reached the deep sea region of the Green Sea.


    As those sect disciples had said, the Green Sea God Sect had long since sealed off the area. High-ranking experts patrolled everywhere, densely covering the area with tens of thousands of people, making it likely that not even a fly could get through.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian could only force his way through.


    After all, no one knew how long the Green Sea God Sect would keep the area sealed off.


    If the blockadested for several months, the True Dragon assessment would be long over.


    This time, in anticipation of the Long n treasure soon to emerge from the depths of the Green Sea, the Green Sea God Sect had sent out all their experts, including over a dozen from the Saint Realm and even elderly ancestors of the tenth level of the Saint Realm.


    Normally, existences at the tenth level of the Saint Realm wouldn¡¯t leave their Sect, but now, two Saint-level ancestors from the Green Sea God Sect has personally taken action!


    With two Saint-level ancestors personally overseeing the situation, all the other Sect experts who were still harboring a glimmer of hope immediately stopped in shock.


    With two Saint-level ancestors guarding there, who would dare to step forward?


    Isn¡¯t that just asking for an early death?


    Li Wanshou and Zhang Bo were precisely the two Saint-level ancestors in charge of the situation.


    The two of them werenguidly staring at the sea ahead, having blockaded this maritime area for more than ten days. The radiance up ahead was bing increasingly brilliant, yet the Long n treasure beneath the sea was as elusive as ever, stubbornly refusing to show itself.


    ¡°Damn it, why hasn¡¯t it appeared yet!¡± Zhang Bo, who has a somewhat fiery temper, cursed in irritation.<div>


    Li Wanshou remainedposed and said, ¡°No rush, it should be soon.¡±


    A vein popped on Zhang Bo¡¯s forehead. Ten days ago, you also said it would be soon.


    Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, screams echoed.


    The two turned around in astonishment, only to see the sky darken as a gigantic super Azure Python flew towards them. With a sweep of its massive tail, the Green Sea God Sect disciples who were blocking the way were all sent flying.


    ¡°The Divine Beast King!¡±


    ¡°The Azure Thunder Python!¡±


    Both of them were horrified.


    Wasn¡¯t the Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python, supposed to be in the Red Moon Forest? How did it appear here?


    Even more shocking to both was the sight of a person standing on top of the head of the Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python¡ªa figure donning a Dragon Head Mask, shrouded in darkness!


    A storm of shock and awe surged within them both.


    Who is this person?


    He actually tamed the Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python!


    Seeing the Green Sea God Sect disciples about to rush forward again, the two shouted, ¡°Stop!¡± Then, restraining the shock in their hearts, they flew forward.<div>


    ¡°How should we address you, sir?¡± Li Wanshou took a deep breath and saluted Yang Xiaotian, ¡°May I inquire what you and Elder Thunder Python havee here for?¡±


    Zhang Bo¡¯s mouth had gone dry as well.


    ¡°You may call me Lord Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at them, his voice indifferent, ¡°I have imed the Long n treasure here. The people from your Green Sea God Sect may leave now.¡±


    Li Wanshou, Zhang Bo, and all the elders and disciples of the Green Sea God Sect¡¯s faces changed color.


    Zhang Bo couldn¡¯t help but express his anger, ¡°You¡¯re being too presumptuous. The Long n treasure here is the property of our Green Sea God Sect. You may be powerful, but we¡¯re not to be taken lightly either.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not very skilled, but I would like to witness your and Elder Thunder Python¡¯s prowess!¡± Li Wanshou also said heatedly.


    The Green Sea God Sect, after all, was one of the strongest Supreme Sects in the Four States Empire; they couldn¡¯t possibly give away the treasure here just because of the other party¡¯s words.


    Upon hearing their words, the Azure Thunder Python let out a cold huff, a sound like thunder from the Nine Heavens, and following that, countless divine thunders from the Nine Heavens thundered down, covering the surrounding hundred miles of sea area.


    Endless divine might radiated from the body of the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Divine Spirit!¡±


    ¡°Retreat quickly!¡±


    Li Wanshou and Zhang Bo screamed in terror, retreating frantically.


    The other Green Sea God Sect elders and disciples were also panic-stricken, desperately trying to avoid the onught.<div>


    As Li Wanshou and the others were retreating in terror, the countless divine thunders bombarded the sea.


    ¡°Boom boom boom boom!¡± The noise was relentless.


    The hundred miles of sea area exploded into turmoil, with waves thousands of feet high surging towards the sky, as if the whole ocean surface were about to be overturned.


    The fearsome power sent countless disciples of the Green Sea God Sect flying.

 Chapter 229: 229: Meeting the Thunder Python in Person

    Chapter 229: Meeting the Thunder Python in Person


    Li Wanshou, who had just dodged the attack, and Zhang Bo looked at the disciples of the Green Sea God Sect being blown away, their hair stood on end, and their spines felt cold.


    They saw the disciples of the Green Sea God Sect being blown apart by tens of thousands of Divine Thunders, with limbs flying chaotically and blood sma raining down like rain.


    If they had dodged a step slower, their fate would probably not be much better than these disciples.


    They looked at the enormous Azure Thunder Python before them, with eyes filled with shock.


    It was actually a Divine Spirit!


    Before, they thought that the Azure Thunder Python was only at the Peak of the Saint Realm, and that was why they dared to entertain the idea of joining forces to fight against it.


    Who would have thought, the Azure Thunder Python had already broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm!


    Li Wanshou and Zhang Bo¡¯s hearts thumped wildly, their faces pale.


    If the Azure Thunder Python was still at the Peak of the Saint Realm, the dozen or so Saint Realm disciples joining hands may have had a chance to fight.


    But now that the Azure Thunder Python had broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, if they dared to provoke it again, it would simply be seeking death!<div>


    The Azure Thunder Python could teach them at any minute how to write the word ¡°death.¡±


    The remaining disciples of the Green Sea God Sect, looking at the majestic Azure Thunder Python, were so scared that both their divine souls and limbs trembled.


    Just now, some disciples, relying on their numbers, even thought about ughtering this Azure Thunder Python and having it with soup and drinks.


    Who would have thought that the creature would be so ferocious.


    A Divine Spirit, such an existence, was something that many direct disciples of the Green Sea God Sect rarely got to see even in normal times.


    Fortunately, after its strike, the Azure Thunder Python did not attack again.


    Heaven and Earth became silent for a moment.


    Only the waves that were blown up still kept crashing down from the sky.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you running away yet?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Li Wanshou, Zhang Bo, and the others.


    Li Wanshou and Zhang Bo were shocked back to reality, like being pardoned, and then they fled in a panic.


    How could the other disciples of the Green Sea God Sect dare to linger? They fled one after another.


    In no time, not a single disciple of the Green Sea God Sect remained.


    Everything returned to calm.


    Yang Xiaotian, riding the Azure Thunder Python, continued to fly forward.


    He arrived at a sea region gleaming with dazzling light.


    This must be the territory of the Green Sea Dragon Pce.


    Amazing cold Qi continuously drifted out from the seabed.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian was standing above the sea¡¯s surface, he still felt a bone-chilling cold.


    He knew this was the Extreme Ice Cold Qi.<div>


    ¡°Let¡¯s go down!¡± Yang Xiaotian said to the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Azure Thunder Python nodded, its body shing with lightning, it directly sted the sea surface open, and then brought Yang Xiaotian into the seabed.


    The two quickly disappeared into the vast waves.


    After entering the water, the cold Qi was even more astonishing; clumps of cold air continuously bubbled up from the seabed. It was not white, but grey¡ªa foggy expanse of grey.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian felt as if even his soul was being frozen stiff.


    He promptly summoned the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire wrapped around him, the thunder and mes surging, dissipating all the cold Qi within a hundred meters.


    Seeing the power of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, Yang Xiaotian felt relieved.


    The Azure Thunder Python joked, ¡°Thank goodness for the young master¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, or else my lower half would¡¯ve been frozen into an ice popsicle.¡±


    Imagining the image of an ice popsicle, Yang Xiaotianughed.


    The pair kept flying deeper into the seabed.


    The Green Sea was deeper than Yang Xiaotian had imagined; after descending for thousands of meters, the bottom was still not in sight.


    Thousands of meters below the sea, darkness enveloped everything, the waters eerily silent.


    The deeper one went, the more intense the cold became. At the seabed, thousands of meters below, Extreme Ice Cold Qi wasn¡¯t just seeping, but gushing out like magma spewing from a volcano¡¯s mouth.


    Affected by the Extreme Ice Cold Qi, the water below hadpletely frozen solid.


    Under the power of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire,yer byyer, the seawater melted.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanion¡¯s speed was significantly reduced.<div>


    And with the immense pressure at the seabed, if not for the Azure Thunder Python, even Yang Xiaotian with his Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach the seabed.


    An hourter, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion finally made it to the seafloor.


    Ahead, they saw a faint azure glow.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanion flew forward and soonid eyes on a cluster of pces.


    ¡°Green Sea Dragon Pce!¡± Seeing theplex of pces, a smile appeared on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face.


    The Azure Thunder Python also rxed and smiled.


    Soon, the two arrived at the za in front of the Dragon Pce.


    Standing in front of the Dragon Pce, the previously all-epassing Extreme Ice Cold Qi and the pressure of the seawater suddenly vanished as if an invisible force had kept all the cold and pressure at bay.


    At this moment, the Iceme Qilin also emerged from the Medicine Cauldron.


    Inside the Green Sea Dragon Pce, with numerous ancient Long n seals, and for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s safety, the Iceme Qilin decided to join forces with the Azure Thunder Python to clear the way for Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and others were about to enter the Green Sea Dragon Pce, Li Wanshou, Zhang Bo, and others had fled back to the Green Sea God Sect.


    In a certain part of the Green Sea, there floated an ind asrge as a continent ¨C the Green Sea Divine Ind, which was also the location of the Green Sea God Sect¡¯s Sect residence.


    The Green Sea Divine Pce, towering at the heart of the Green Sea Divine Ind, high into the sky, was currently filled with the Green Sea God Sect¡¯s many experts.<div>


    A sea of ck, everyone a Saint Realm practitioner.


    The sudden appearance of the Azure Thunder Python in the Green Sea and the death of thousands of disciples had already rmed all the high-ranking members of the Green Sea God Sect.


    ¡°So what if the Azure Thunder Python is the Divine Beast King? He killed thousands of our disciples and stole treasures from the Long n. We can¡¯t let this slide!¡± an elder at the peak of the Saint Realm, Du Zhen, said angrily.


    Among those thousands of disciples who were killed, two were his Direct Disciples.


    How could he not be furious when disciples he had trained for years were killed?


    ¡°Exactly, if we don¡¯t even dare to fart after thousands of our disciples were killed, how could we face the other Supreme Sects of the Four States Empire?¡± another elder in thete stages of the Saint Realm shouted angrily as well.


    However, the Sect Hierarch Zhao Xing suddenly asked Li Wanshou, ¡°You say, that mysterious person ims to be Lord Long?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Wanshou recalled, ¡°He wore a Dragon Head Mask, and he wasn¡¯t very tall.¡±


    A look of surprise and doubt crossed Zhao Xing¡¯s eyes.


    The Azure Thunder Python breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm was already shocking, but to think someone had tamed it!


    This was beyond mere shock.


    If the person imed to be Lord Long, could it be an expert from the Long n?


    ¡°Have someone check the identity of this Lord Long,¡± amanding voice spoke up at that moment.<div>


    The crowd turned to look and saw that at some point, a silver-haired elder had appeared in the hall.


    Whether it was Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, or Li Wanshou, when they saw the silver-haired elder, they all hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully, ¡°We greet the elder.¡±


    The neer was none other than Liu Yong, the strongest elder of the Green Sea God Sect.


    He was also one of the three Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses within the Green Sea God Sect.


    Ever since breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm, Liu Yong had not been involved in worldly affairs for many years.


    ¡°Has the Azure Thunder Python already entered the seabed?¡± Liu Yong asked Li Wanshou.


    ¡°Yes, elder, they are likely aiming for the Green Sea Dragon Pce,¡± Li Wanshou quickly replied.


    Liu Yong shook his head, ¡°But the Green Sea Dragon Pce is not so easily entered.¡± Then he said, ¡°Continue to block off the sea area, I will personally meet with the Python!¡±


    Hearing that the elder intended to personally meet with the Azure Thunder Python, all the experts of the Green Sea God Sect were greatly invigorated.

 Chapter 230: 230: Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron

    Chapter 230: Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron


    ¡°That Lord Long, can you tell what level of strength he has?¡± Liu Yong turned his head and asked Li Wanshou.


    Li Wanshou pondered and replied, ¡°The other party hasn¡¯t made a move, but they¡¯re probably not at the Divine Spirit Realm!¡±


    Liu Yong nodded.


    As long as he¡¯s not at the Divine Spirit Realm, they¡¯d have an easier time handling the situation.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Just then, another figure broke through the air and arrived.


    The person in question was none other than Xie Weiqiang from the Green Sea God Sect, another Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse.


    Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, and others hurried forward to pay their respects.


    Seeing Xie Weiqiang, Liu Yong smiled and said, ¡°Good! Together, we¡¯ll ughter this Azure Thunder Python and divide its flesh and inner core among us!¡±


    Originally, he wasn¡¯t very confident in taking on the Azure Thunder Python by himself, but now with Xie Weiqiang by his side, his confidence surged.


    The Azure Thunder Python must have broken through recently.<div>


    The two of them had made their break-throughs years ago; joining forces, they would surely suppress that Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Old Jiang isn¡¯t here,¡± Xie Weiqiang remarked.


    The Old Jiang he referred to was Jiang Feng of the Green Sea God Sect, another Divine Spirit realm powerhouse, and the strongest among the three of them.


    Jiang Feng had gone to the Sky-Stepping Sect of the Divine Dragon Empire some days ago and hadn¡¯t returned.


    Liu Yong confidently said, ¡°Even without Old Jiang, the Azure Thunder Python won¡¯t be able to escape us now that we¡¯re working together.¡±


    Momentster.


    The mighty army of the Green Sea God Sect surged out, once again blockading the domain of the sea.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang arrived over the area of the sea they had been at previously, then broke through the surface and both entered the depths, heading towards the Green Sea Dragon Pce.


    However, the Extreme Ice Cold Qi at the seabed was too strong, and in the end, they had to summon their Divine Armor.


    Even then, after reaching a depth of two kilometers, the two still found it difficult to progress even an inch.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian and the Iceme Kylin, as well as the Azure Thunder Python, had already entered the Green Sea Dragon Pce.


    Despite their confidence in their own strength, once the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python entered the Dragon Pce, they took every step with the utmost caution, daring not to be careless.


    The restrictions of the Dragon n within the pce were no joke; the slightest carelessness could result in even a seventhyer Divine Spirit being bombarded to death.


    Even with extreme caution, when they entered a certain pce, a kind of spatial restriction was still inadvertently activated.


    Suddenly, endless Sword Qi from the dragons filled the sky, overwhelming the three of them in a torrential assault.


    ¡°Young master, retreat quickly!¡± The Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s faces changed as they attacked with all their might, pulling Yang Xiaotian out of the pce with them.


    Despite their efforts, the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python still found themselves retreating continuously.


    Fortunately, once the Dragon Sword Qi reached the pce¡¯s main gate it stopped right there.


    Only then did the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python breathe a sigh of relief.<div>


    ¡°Damn it, after so many years, the restrictions of this Dragon Pce are still horrifying,¡± the Iceme Kylinined.


    Many years ago, it had entered the Green Sea Dragon Pce.


    It held lingering fears regarding the Green Sea Dragon Pce.


    ¡°I think we¡¯d better return to the True Dragon Divine Sect and just ughter that Tyrant Dragon,¡± the Iceme Kylin shook its head and said, ¡°Although there is True Dragon Origin Force in the Dragon Pce, getting it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.¡±<div>


    ¡°Buzz off, you calf!¡± the Azure Thunder Python retorted irritably.


    ¡°Is there no way to break these Dragon n restrictions?¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    The Iceme Kylin said, ¡°These Dragon n restrictions were set by the ancient Long n powerhouses, it¡¯s impossible to break them even for a tenthyer Divine Spirit.¡±


    Even a tenthyer Divine Spirit can¡¯t break them?


    Yang Xiaotian felt helpless and ultimately could only awaken the Medicine Cauldron and ask if it could help him get inside.


    ¡°One pce, one dose of six-tier Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water,¡± the Medicine Cauldron stated.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s forehead creased with lines of distress.


    Thest time, in order to subdue the Iceme Kylin, the Medicine Cauldron had already consumed twenty doses.


    He didn¡¯t have much six-tier Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water left with him.


    Still, in the end, Yang Xiaotian gritted his teeth and gave one dose of six-tier Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to the Medicine Cauldron.


    After a measure of sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the radiance from the Medicine Cauldron surged, protecting Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°You two wait for me here,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python, before cautiously stepping through the grand pce doors.


    Tidal waves of dragon Sword Qi roared toward him.<div>


    But no matter how the dragon Sword Qi struck, it couldn¡¯t break through the light of the Medicine Cauldron.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian fully eased his worries and walked towards the interior of the pce.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s disappointment, the pce was empty, save for a stone wall that was etched with the figure of a divine dragon. It seemed to be some Long n Divine Ability.


    He already had enough Long n Divine Abilities and had no interest inprehending further.


    After searching to no avail for other treasures, Yang Xiaotian exited the pce.


    Upon leaving the pce, he thought of the spent sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and couldn¡¯t help but feel heartache.


    After all, each use of the sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water meant one less measure remaining.


    Now, he only had four measures left.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the second pce.


    Yang Xiaotian fed another measure of sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to the Medicine Cauldron, and with its power sheltering him, he entered the second pce.


    This pce was somewhat better, with many Gold Coins and a Dragon Ball iid upon the dragon throne.


    Still, he did not find the True Dragon Origin Force.


    When he left, Yang Xiaotian directly moved the Gold Coins and dragon throne.<div>


    At the third pce, Yang Xiaotian gave yet another measure of sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to the Medicine Cauldron.


    This time, it was neither Gold Coins nor a Dragon Ball but arge pile of Long n Technique Manuals.


    Gazing upon the wall filled with Long n Technique Manuals, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but curse softly to himself.


    What he wanted was the True Dragon Origin Force.


    What use were these Long n Technique Manuals to him?


    Yang Xiaotian continued to the fourth pce.


    Now, he only had two measures of the sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water left on his person.


    Taking a deep breath and using another measure of the sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he walked into the fourth pce with great trepidation.


    As he stepped into the fourth pce, he was greeted by a peculiar fragrance of Elixirs.


    Looking over, Yang Xiaotian saw in the center of the great hall, arge Divine Cauldron, and the fragrance of the Elixirs wafted from the jade bottles beside it.


    Embedded in the walls next to the great hall were four Dragon Balls, shining as bright as day.


    There was arge medicine cab on the wall, with several jade bottles sitting atop.


    Clearly, this pce was meant for Alchemy.<div>


    ¡°This Cauldron is quite good,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron while Yang Xiaotian was searching for the True Dragon Origin Force.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell upon the Divine Cauldron.


    Could this be?


    ¡°A Divine Artifact,¡± spoke the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    The Divine Cauldron before him was actually a Divine Artifact!


    It was known that not even the top ten Supreme Sects in the Divine Dragon Empire had many Holy Cauldron Furnaces, let alone Divine Cauldron Furnaces, which even the Empire Royal Family did not possess.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the Divine Cauldron, examining it carefully. If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, this Cauldron should be the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron.


    The Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron was one of the four great Divine Cauldrons on the Azure God Continent.


    However, he wasn¡¯t in a rush to refine the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron but instead picked up a jade bottle beside the Divine Cauldron. Inside the jade bottle was a little Azure Dragon, which, oddly enough, exuded the fragrance of an Elixir.


    ¡°An Elixir in the form of a being!¡± Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Only saint-level Elixirs could take on a form.


    This meant the Elixir inside was a Holy Pill! Moreover, it was a Long n Holy Pill.

 Chapter 231: 231 Breakthrough to Martial Ancestor

    Chapter 231: Breakthrough to Martial Ancestor


    In the Divine Dragon Empire, no pharmacists now could refine Divine Elixirs.


    Because, only a Medicine God could refine Divine Level Elixirs.


    Therefore, the best elixirs were the Holy Pills.


    Long n Holy Pills were undoubtedly among the best of the Holy Pills.


    The Long n Holy Pill before him was the finest quality of Holy Pill, the Azure Dragon Holy Pill.


    Looking at the Azure Dragon Holy Pill before him, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.


    Just this one elixir was a priceless treasure.


    If this pill were to be auctioned off, it would undoubtedly trigger a bidding frenzy among various experts, even stirring the Divine Spirit Realm.


    One Azure Dragon Holy Pill could be worth the painstaking efforts of several decades in the Divine Spirit Realm.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully stored the Azure Dragon Holy Pill, then approached the medicine cab and began to open each jade bottle in search of the True Dragon Origin Force.<div>


    However, to his disappointment, all of these bottles, without exception, contained nothing but elixirs.


    They were almost all Imperial Pills.


    Imperial Pills, although not as rare as Holy Pills, were still remarkable treasures; however, Yang Xiaotian could not feel happy because what he needed the most right now was only the True Dragon Origin Force.


    After rummaging through all the bottles and confirming theck of True Dragon Origin Force, Yang Xiaotian felt dejected.


    Did he really have to go back and ughter that Tyrant Dragon from the True Dragon Divine Sect?


    Otherwise, where could he obtain the True Dragon Origin Force?


    Yang Xiaotian searched unwillingly through every corner of the great hall.


    But aside from these elixirs, there was only the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron and four Dragon Balls.


    Nothing else.


    Yang Xiaotian could only collect all the elixirs, the four Dragon Balls, and the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, then left the pce.


    Upon exiting the fourth pce, as Yang Xiaotian was pondering whether to use hisst bottle of Sixyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the Medicine Cauldron suddenly said, ¡°You should open the Dragon Cauldron and have a look first.¡±


    Open the Dragon Cauldron?


    Yang Xiaotian was puzzled, could there be some secret with the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron? Otherwise, Master Ding wouldn¡¯t have reminded him.


    Thus, he took out the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, and then, cutting his finger, allowed his blood to drip inside, thus primly refining the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron.


    The moment he opened the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, he was stunned by what he saw inside.


    Inside the cauldron were two Golden Dragons.


    However, unlike the Azure Dragon transformed from the Azure Dragon Holy Pill, these two Golden Dragons were the manifestations of True Dragon Origin Force, each surging with powerful Origin Power, vast like the ocean.


    After his initial shock, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face lit up with surprise.


    He hadn¡¯t expected to find two strands of Golden Dragon Origin Force inside the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron.<div>


    Previously, he had lost all hope.


    Now, as he beheld the two strands of Golden Dragon Origin Force before him, he suddenly felt as though fortune had fallen from the sky.


    It seemed that Master Ding had long seen something inside the Dragon Cauldron, which was why he reminded him to check.


    ¡°You¡¯re quite lucky,¡± chuckled the Medicine Cauldron. ¡°Do you still want to proceed to the fifth pce?¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian looked towards the fifth pce of the Dragon Pce and eventually shook his head.


    Each of these two strands of Golden Dragon Origin Force was stronger than the Ice Dragon that Old Bing had given him. With these two strands of Golden Dragon Origin Force, he had enough to condense the strongest and finest Golden Core.


    There was no need to enter the fifth pce.


    After all, sixyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was very important. Saving a bottle might be useful in the future.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian cheerfully approached the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python with the four Dragon Balls, giving them to the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°Four Dragon Balls!¡± The Azure Thunder Python was astonished upon seeing the four Dragon Ballsid out before him.


    ¡°My lord!¡± He trembled with excitement.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled at it and said, ¡°With these four Dragon Balls, you can evolve your bloodline, right?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python took a deep breath and replied excitedly, ¡°Yes!¡± then added, ¡°If I can¡¯t, I¡¯ll punish myself by crashing into the sea!¡±


    These four Dragon Balls were all from the Divine Spirit Realm.


    Its bloodline was already infinitely close to that of a Super Divine Beast. With these four Dragon Balls, it was absolutely confident it could evolve.


    Just as the Iceme Qilin looked on with envy, Yang Xiaotian took out the Azure Dragon Holy Pill.


    When the Iceme Qilin saw the Azure Dragon Holy Pill, it was stunned, ¡°The Azure Dragon Holy Pill!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian handed the Azure Dragon Holy Pill to the Iceme Qilin.


    With a dry mouth and a shaky tongue, the Iceme Qilin shook its head and said, ¡°Young Master, this Azure Dragon Holy Pill is too precious.¡±


    However, just as it was about to refuse, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Although the Azure Dragon Holy Pill is valuable, it¡¯s useless to me now; in my hands, it¡¯s merely a waste pill.¡±


    An elixir of the Holy Pill grade like the Azure Dragon Holy Pill could only be consumed by experts above the Saint Realm. If Yang Xiaotian were to ingest it, he would instantly be blown apart.


    Rather than keeping the useless Azure Dragon Holy Pill, it would be better to use it to help Old Bing break through to the Divine Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t you give me a strand of Ice Dragon Origin Force before?¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    The Iceme Qilin hesitated for a moment, then epted the Azure Dragon Holy Pill and bowed deeply, ¡°Thank you, Young Master.¡±


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian, the Iceme Qilin, and the Azure Thunder Python did not immediately leave the Dragon Pce. Instead, they each chose a corner of the pce and began cultivating on their own.


    In a corner of the Dragon Pce, Yang Xiaotian took out a strand of Golden Dragon Origin Force and began to refine it.


    Meanwhile, outside, Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang of the Green Sea God Sect hade to the Dragon Pce after exerting the strength of nine bulls and two tigers.


    However, not long after the two entered the Dragon Pce, they were sted away by the pce¡¯s restrictions.


    In the end, they decided to return to the sea surface to wait for Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python.


    More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.<div>


    In that time, Yang Xiaotian finally refined the two strands of Golden Dragon Origin Forcepletely.


    The two strands of Golden Dragon Origin Force were extremely effective, allowing him to bring the twelve Divine-Level Divine Skills of the Long n to the pinnacle of mastery, Summit Mastery.


    With the twenty already mastered before, that made thirty-two!


    ¡°I should be able to form the ultimate top-grade Golden Core now,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    Deputy Director Fan Riquan said that reaching Summit Mastery in thirty Supreme Divine Powers would allow for the formation of the first ultimate top-grade Golden Core. Now Yang Xiaotian had thirty-two.


    He took out all the supremely exquisite Nine Suns Longevity Pills he had refined before.


    Everything was ready, only the breakthrough was left.


    After calming his mind, he began to operate the Primordial Dragon Art with all his might, stimting the True Yuan in his Dantian to assault the Martial Ancestor Realm.


    As Yang Xiaotian activated it, the True Yuan in his Dantian began to spin crazily, eventually forming a massive vortex.


    The power of True Yuan and Divine Skills began to converge in the center of the vortex.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian felt his True Yuan was running out.


    The supremely exquisite Nine Suns Longevity Pills floating around his body suddenly burst open, one by one transforming into the purest elixir power, surging into his body.


    With the power supplied by the Nine Suns Longevity Pills, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Yuan continued to pour into the center of the vortex incessantly.<div>


    Whenever his True Yuan was exhausted, the power of the Nine Suns Longevity Pills replenished it.


    After one day and one night.


    In the center of the vortex in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Dantian, a dazzling golden bead appeared.


    At first, this golden bead was the size of a grain of rice, but it quickly swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    This was the Golden Core of a Martial Ancestor Expert.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Golden Core was sessfully formed, suddenly, the golden light in his Dantian turned wild. Intense golden beams sted upward, piercing through the restrictions of the Dragon Pce, and shot up to the sea¡¯s surface.


    Liu Yong, Xie Weiqiang, and others were growing impatient waiting on the sea¡¯s surface when suddenly, they saw a terrifying golden light rise from beneath the sea like a mountain copsing and sea overturning, booming up from the ocean depths.

 Chapter 232: 232: It’s a Divine Elixir!

    Chapter 232: It¡¯s a Divine Elixir!


    ¡°What is this?!¡± Seeing the golden light erupting from the seabed like andslide and tsunami, Liu Yong was filled with shock and disbelief.


    Could this be the treasure that is about to emerge?


    Suddenly, Xie Weiqiang¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Retreat quickly!¡± After saying that, he began to retreat frantically.


    Just as Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang had moved back,


    Boom!


    They saw the sea surface within a hundred miles being sted into the sky by the golden light.


    Waves surged in thousands upon thousands ofyers.


    The sky-blown waves covered the sun.


    The disciples of the Green Sea God Sect who had originally sealed off the surrounding sea area were caught off-guard, and many were sted away.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang watched the golden column of light that shot into the Nine Heavens, astonished.<div>


    Because the golden column of light actually carried divine might!


    ¡°Has someone broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm?!¡± Xie Weiqiang was greatly surprised.


    However, breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm should trigger a Divine Tribtion.


    Yet above in the high sky, it was clear for thousands of miles.


    Not to mention Heavenly Tribtion; there wasn¡¯t even a single dark cloud.


    Liu Yong was also filled with doubts.


    What was happening?


    The golden column of light continued to st relentlessly into the Nine Heavens.


    The divine might grew increasingly profound.


    In fact, not only were Xie Weiqiang and Liu Yong surprised, but the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python in the Dragon Pce were also taken aback.


    They both flew towards Yang Xiaotian.


    From afar, they could see the various extraordinary phenomena surrounding him.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian sat in a corner of the Dragon Pce, with golden light shining heavenward, while around him, astonishingly, there appeared several figures of golden deities.


    As these deity-like figures appeared, a Golden Core flew out from inside Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    The moment the Golden Core emerged, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.


    The entire Dragon Pce seemed to be in the midst of a major earthquake.


    The Golden Core, suspended in the air above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, was actually radiatingyer uponyer of Divine Light.


    As the Divine Light of the Golden Core blossomed, the golden divine figures around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body actually began to prostrate themselves before the Golden Core.


    The Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were stunned.<div>


    Some monstrously talented individuals would produce extraordinary phenomena when breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm and condensing a top-grade or higher Golden Core.


    Yet, they had never seen such phenomena.


    A Golden Core¡¯s emergence actually caused deities to prostrate themselves!


    Looking at the Divine Light glowing from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Golden Core, the Iceme Qilin recalled an ancient legend so distant it felt unreal, its voice trembling, ¡°This is not the strongest top-grade Golden Core.¡±<div>


    ¡°It is Divine Grade!¡±


    ¡°It is a Divine Elixir!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s entire body shuddered violently, ¡°A Divine Elixir!¡±


    It too recalled an extremely ancient legend.


    The legend spoke of a Divine Elixir that surpassed the premier Golden Core!


    However, the legend was so ancient, it had been forgotten by many powerful beings, to the point where even existences like the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python had almost forgotten it.


    ¡°A Divine Elixir!¡±


    ¡°The Young Master has condensed a Divine Elixir!¡± The Iceme Qilin was so excited that it was incoherent and, like the divine figures, prostrated itself.


    It was a prostration to the Divine Elixir!


    No Divine Elixir had existed since ancient times.


    It had been a million years.


    After a million years, a Divine Elixir had finally reappeared in Heaven and Earth!


    The Azure Thunder Python also prostrated itself excitedly.<div>


    At that moment, it recalled the words Master Ding had said to it before, that one day the Young Master would be an utmost supreme entity.


    The longer it followed Yang Xiaotian, the luckier it felt.


    While the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were still overwhelmed with excitement, suddenly, another Golden Core flew out from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    This Golden Core also radiatedyer uponyer of Divine Light.


    Two Golden Cores, side by side, rotated slowly above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    Their divine might was overwhelming.


    The entire Dragon Pce vibrated with extreme intensity.


    Just now it was a level twelve earthquake, and now it¡¯s level fourteen, fifteen, sixteen!


    The sea around the Dragon Pce was also violently turbulent.


    Liu Yong, Xie Weiqiang, and others watched as the still unrested surface of the sea was sted into the air once more.


    The folks from the Green Sea God Sect were even more baffled by the explosion.


    Inside the Dragon Pce, the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were looking at the second Golden Core, their feelings having shifted from excitement to sheer horror.


    ¡°Two Divine Elixir Golden Cores!¡±<div>


    That their young master had condensed a Divine Elixir was one thing.


    But to condense two!


    Did such a thing ever happen in the ancient times?


    It seemed that it hadn¡¯t, not even in the ancient times!


    At least, they had never heard of someone in the ancient times condensing two Divine Elixir Golden Cores.


    Two Divine Elixir Golden Cores, their Divine Light illuminating, made the entire Dragon Pce glisten and gleam.


    As if under the divine might of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Elixir Golden Cores, the whole of the Dragon Pce began to flicker with light, and the sound of dragon chants could be heard everywhere.


    The dragon chants resounded through heaven and earth.


    Even the experts of the Green Sea God Sect on the sea¡¯s surface heard this ear-piercing dragon chant.


    Moreover, as the sound grew louder and louder, it continued incessantly,sting for a long time without fading away.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang looked towards the seabed in utter amazement.


    What on earth was happening at the bottom of the sea?


    Although they didn¡¯t know what was happening at the sea¡¯s bottom, both had a feeling it had something to do with the Azure Thunder Python and that mysterious Lord Long.<div>


    The dragon chanting persisted for more than an hour.


    Only then did it finally stop.


    The golden light also began to retract.


    The divine might dispersed.


    Above the Green Sea, the sky remained clear.


    Inside the Dragon Pce, the golden light enveloping Yang Xiaotian slowly weakened, and ultimately vanished. At that moment, two Divine Elixir Golden Cores were suspended within his Dantian, gently circting.


    Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, a face full of joy.


    He had not expected that his breakthrough to Martial Ancestor would result in not just Divine Elixir Golden Cores, but two of them.


    At this moment, the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python excitedly flew in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Congrattions, young master, on condensing the Divine Elixir Golden Cores!¡±


    Both bowed respectfully, brimming with excitement.


    Now, looking at Yang Xiaotian, their eyes were filled with nothing but reverence.


    Yang Xiaotian got to his feet, nodding and smiling at them.


    Having finally broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, his path to cultivation from here on would be smooth.


    At least until breaking through to Martial Emperor, it would be a smooth path.


    He guessed that his condensation of two great Golden Cores was likely rted to his possessing two Supreme Martial Spirits.


    ¡°How goes your cultivation?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Azure Thunder Python excitedly said, ¡°We have seeded in evolving, just as youmanded!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and heughed heartily, ¡°Sess! Excellent!¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python had sessfully revived its ancestral bloodline and evolved into a Super Divine Beast, which was indeed cause for double celebration.


    Yang Xiaotian knew thebat power of a Super Divine Beast, and now the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s strength was definitely more than twice what it had been before.


    Yang Xiaotian then turned his gaze to the Iceme Qilin.


    The Iceme Qilin scratched its head sheepishly, ¡°Young master, I¡¯m just a little bit short, just a tiny bit short.¡±


    Although it had assimted the Azure Dragon Holy Pill, the Iceme Qilin had yet to break through to the Divine Spirit realm.


    After all, for a Super Divine Beast like it, breaking through to the Divine Spirit realm was still extremely difficult.


    ¡°No matter,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°Next time, we shall find another Holy Pill.¡±


    With one more Holy Pill, the Iceme Qilin should be able to break through the Divine Spirit realm.


    At this time, within the True Dragon Divine Sect, the mountain peak where You Yi resided was also radiating golden light.


    ¡°Disciple You Yi has broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, condensing an exceptional Golden Core!¡±


    A disciple called out excitedly.


    The news of You Yi condensing an exceptional Golden Core spread rapidly, stunning the million experts of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Upon hearing the news, Sect Master Hu Nan of the True Dragon Divine Sect was thrilled,ughing heartily, ¡°Issue themand, my True Dragon Divine Sect shall celebrate grandly!¡±


    (Awesome! Yang Xiaotian can go back and show off again.)

 Chapter 233: 233 The Might of the Azure Thunder Python

    Chapter 233: The Might of the Azure Thunder Python


    The elder of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Long Hao, learned that You Yi had formed a Divine Elixir and couldn¡¯t help but grin from ear to ear.


    Li Fangyuan, Long Hao¡¯s foremost disciple, congratted, ¡°Congrattions to Master, felicitations to Master!¡±


    ¡°In this True Dragon assessment, Disciple Brother You Yi will surely take first ce!¡±


    ¡°By then, powerful figures from all around will gather, and Disciple Brother You Yi will certainly uphold the prestige of our Sword Peak.¡±


    Long Haoughed heartily.


    Li Fangyuan said with a smile, ¡°I heard even the Green Lotus Tower Master ising.¡±


    Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong!


    Upon hearing that Li Hong was alsoing, Long Hao was even more delighted andughed, ¡°I hadn¡¯t expected Tower Master Li toe as well!¡±


    Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong, renowned alongside the Sky-Stepping Sect Master and the Dragon Emperor, was a peerless figure. Although Long Hao was also at the peak of the Saint Realm, when it came to status and identity, Li Hong was slightly superior to Long Hao.


    Therefore, knowing that Li Hong wasing made Long Hao feel even more honored.<div>


    On that day, the entire True Dragon Divine Sect celebrated joyously.


    On the mountain peak where You Yi resided, a grand feast wasid out, inviting all the core disciples.


    ¡°Today, I thank all my fellow brothers and sisters foring.¡± At the banquet, You Yi stood up and raised his ss to the hundreds of core disciples gathered, exuding pride and spirit.


    The hundreds of core disciples all stood and raised their sses to drink together.


    After sitting down, You Yi asked his servant Wei Youcai, ¡°Have Yang Ling¡¯er and Yang Xiaotian arrived?¡±


    His servant Wei Youcai hesitated before responding, ¡°Among the guests you invited, the only ones who haven¡¯t arrived are Yang Ling¡¯er and Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°Yang Ling¡¯er says that since her brother is not here, and as for herself, she¡¯s at a critical juncture in her cultivation, so she won¡¯t being.¡±


    Upon hearing that only Yang Ling¡¯er and Yang Xiaotian had note, You Yi¡¯s expression darkened.


    ¡°A critical juncture in cultivation? I think it¡¯s just an excuse.¡± Hu Yue, who sat at the first seat on his left, sneered, ¡°That cheap girl Yang Ling¡¯er always has that sour look on her face, pretending to be high and mighty, thinking she¡¯s so great with her level fourteen Martial Soul. Her noting, I say, is utterly intentional.¡±


    ¡°Deliberately undermining Face of Disciple Brother You Yi.¡±


    Zhu Miaomiao alsoughed, ¡°I think Yang Xiaotian isn¡¯t really away; knowing that Disciple Brother You Yi has formed a Divine Elixir, he felt ashamed and thus didn¡¯t dare to show up.¡±


    Fang Shaoqiang remarked, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, a mere eleventh-level Martial Soul, how could he merit possessing Divine me? He should hand over the Divine me, letting Disciple Brother You Yi take control of it. With you forming a Divine Elixir and controlling the Divine me, you could unleash its full potential.¡±


    Huang Xin contemptuously said, ¡°It¡¯sughable that Yang Xiaotian, with his eleventh-level Martial Soul, even fancied that my master would take him as a disciple. With my master¡¯s status, how could he possibly ept such mediocrity as a disciple?¡±


    Wang Yao from Medicine Peak indignantly said, ¡°Relying on a Fierce Beast of the Emperor Realm, Yang Xiaotian brashly intruded upon Medicine Peak, injuring hundreds of our disciples. This kind of scoundrel, who disregards thews of True Dragon Divine Sect, should have been kicked out long ago!¡±


    You Yi, looking at an indignant Wang Yao, spoke, ¡°Sister Wang, rest assured, I¡¯ll teach him a lesson during the True Dragon assessment on behalf of Medicine Peak¡¯s disciples and make him apologize to them.¡±


    At that moment, in the Green Sea Dragon Pce, Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python emerged from the Dragon Pce.


    Looking back at the Dragon Pce, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he were in a different world.


    Before entering the Dragon Pce, he was but a mere Martial King Realm cultivator, yet who would have thought that, in just over a month, he would have formed not one but two Divine Elixirs.


    ¡°Let¡¯s return to the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian stated while standing atop the Azure Thunder Python.<div>


    With him on its back, the Azure Thunder Python shot upwards, breaking through the sea.


    Suddenly, the seabed quaked.


    Divine Fire wrapped around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Having broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, his strength was iparable to before, with the power of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire greatly enhanced. Wherever the Divine Fire passed, the Extreme Ice Cold Qi dissipatedpletely.<div>


    Together, they rapidly flew towards the sea¡¯s surface.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang, both at the Divine Spirit Realm, were on alert at the sea¡¯s surface. Seeing a massive shadow ascending from the depths, they didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately attacked in unison.


    As Divine Spirits, thebined formidable power of the two could shatter heavens and Earth, sting through theyers of seawater towards the Azure Thunder Python.


    With a snort of disdain, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s entire body surged with lightning as it pped its ws upwards.


    Immediately, two massive pirs of lightning met the power of Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang.


    Boom!


    A thunderous roar that shook the heavens.


    An untold volume of seawater was sted into the sky.


    Giant waves surged towards the heavens.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang felt an overwhelming force crashing towards them.


    Both were shaken and forced to continuously retreat.


    Amidst the towering waves, the figure of the Azure Thunder Python burst forth from the sea, and at the same time, its thousand-zhang-long tail swept across, tly shearing off hundreds of meters from the sea surface as it passed.


    Upon seeing this, Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang were greatly shocked, and each of their hands now wielded arge sword. Swinging their swords, they unleashed sword Qi that stretched tens of thousands of zhang, shing at the giant tail of the thunder python.<div>


    Therge swords in their hands were naturally not ordinary, but top-tier Holy Artifacts. Even so, not only could they not cut through the thunder python¡¯s giant tail, but they were also sent tumbling backwards in mid-air due to the shock.


    The two were horrified.


    How could the Azure Thunder Python, which had just broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, be so powerful and defensive?


    Looking over, they saw the Azure Thunder Python, now suspended in the air, sporting tworge dragon horns on its head and its body covered in dragon scales. On those scales were countless massive bolts of lightning.


    The might of the Divine Dragon, overwhelming and boundless.


    Seeing this, both men were stricken with fear, for what they saw was not a thunder python, but clearly a Thunder Dragon!


    ¡°Bloodline Return to Ancestry! Super Divine Beast!¡± Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang both eximed in shock, barely able to hide their astonishment.


    The Azure Thunder Python had actually evolved!


    Being Divine Spirits, how could they not understand that once a Divine Beast evolves into a Super Divine Beast, itsbat power would undergo an earth-shattering transformation?


    No wonder the two Divine Spirits joining forces could barely withstand the thunder python¡¯s previous strike.


    Under the awe-inspiring might of the Azure Thunder Python, Zhao Xing, Li Wanshou, and others in the distance were even more frightened and retreated hastily.


    Yang Xiaotian was still enveloped in darkness, casting a cold nce at Liu Yong, Xie Weiqiang, and the others.


    Seeing Liu Yong and others leading tens of thousands of Green Sea God Sect experts in wait here, how could he not understand what was going on?<div>


    ¡°Kill!¡± Yang Xiaotian said in a cold voice.


    Immediately, the Azure Thunder Python let out a heavenward roar, and countless divine thunderbolts rolled down from the Nine Heavens.


    Previously, the divine thunder enveloped a hundred li in radius. Now, it was far more than a hundred li; at a nce, divine thunder was vast and endless, darkening the sky as the day itself turned dark.


    Watching the endless rolling divine thunder, faces of Zhao Xing, Li Wanshou, and others turned pale, they yelled, ¡°Everyone retreat!¡±


    Even with the Green Sea God Sect¡¯s arrival including two Divine Spirits and over forty from the Saint Realm, the sight of such boundless divine thunder left them terribly shaken, retreating in a frenzy.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang roared with anger, channeling all their strength to support themselves as they brandished theirrge swords with full force, intertwining thousands of sword Qi.


    But their myriad sword Qi, no matter how astounding, couldn¡¯t block the myriad divine thunderbolts.


    Boom!


    As the myriad divine thunderbolts thundered down.


    One by one, the disciples of the Green Sea God Sect were sted to pieces, their insides smeared across the ground.


    The sea turned red as a blood sea.


    The surrounding inds, which had been floating for who knows how many millennia, were also sted to smithereens.


    Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang had no time for shock or anger when the sky before them darkened, only to see the Azure Thunder Python already in front of them.<div>


    In their astonishment, a giant w of the Azure Thunder Python came crashing down.

 Chapter 234: 234: Making Yang Xiaotian Apologize to the Disciple of Medicine Peak

    Chapter 234: Making Yang Xiaotian Apologize to the Disciple of Medicine Peak


    Both of them looked at the descending dragon w engulfed with rolling divine thunder, daring not to meet it head-on, and hastily retreated while shouting angrily, ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Retreat!


    The disciples of the Green Sea God Sect, who had been in a state of shock, fled back to the Green Sea Divine Ind like they had been granted amnesty.


    Just as Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang dodged, the azure thunder python¡¯s w hit the sea, emptying the surrounding area of water with sheer force.


    The sea surface appeared as if a huge cavity had emerged.


    Countless divine thunders continuously bombarded the seafloor.


    The sands on the ocean floor billowed.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    After retreating, Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang also fled towards the Green Sea Divine Ind.


    Seeing this, the Azure Thunder Python wanted to pursue, but Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Forget it.¡±<div>


    Do not chase the poor.


    A Supreme Sect like the Green Sea God Sect would certainly have a Mountain Protection Divine Array.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python headed back to the Divine Dragon Empire.


    After evolving into a Super Divine Beast, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s form changed quite significantly, its body, already asrge as a great mountain, grew evenrger.


    Though its body had erged, its speed had increased as well.


    Passing over the Green Sea, it was like a sh of massive thunderous light.


    Even those in the Saint Realm could only catch a glimpse of its afterimage.


    When Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang escaped back to the Green Sea Divine Ind and saw that the Azure Thunder Python did not pursue, they both heaved a huge sigh of relief.


    ¡°What now?¡± Liu Yong said with a bitter smile.


    Originally, they had wanted to join forces to kill the python and divide its flesh, blood, and core, but they had been counter-attacked instead.


    Liu Yong had never felt so embarrassed since his breakthrough to the Divine Spirit Realm.


    ¡°I will make a trip to the Sky-Stepping Sect,¡± Xie Weiqiang mused.


    The bloodline return to ancestry of the King of Divine Beasts from the Red Moon Forest, the Azure Thunder Python, evolving into a Super Divine Beast was a shocking event, and he had to personally visit the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Liu Yong nodded. ¡°I will hold the fort here at the sect.¡±


    Momentster, Xie Weiqiang left, breaking through the air towards the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Several days passed.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python had already returned to the territory of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Although he had already broken through to Martial Ancestor, Yang Xiaotian did not becent but continued to travel and cultivate while on the road.


    Cultivating the Thunderp Nine Heavens, the Shadow Night Walk, and many Supreme Divine Powers.<div>


    With the Azure Thunder Python hastening their journey, atst, Yang Xiaotian could see the gates of the True Dragon Divine Sect from afar.


    At this moment, only two days were left until the True Dragon assessment.


    Experts from various Supreme Sects sessively arrived at the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The True Dragon Divine Sect was bustling with activity.<div>


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect, its disciples, seeing him, whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with peculiar stares.


    ¡°Disciple You Yi has already condensed a first-rate Golden Core. What do you think Yang Xiaotian will condense in the future?¡±


    ¡°Who knows, it¡¯s said that Yang Xiaotian has achieved Summit Mastery in five Supreme Divine Powers. Even if he can¡¯t condense a first-rate Golden Core, condensing a top-quality Golden Core should be no problem, right?¡±


    The disciples discussed this among themselves.


    Generally speaking, achieving Summit Mastery in five Supreme Divine Powers gave an almost certain chance of condensing a top-quality Golden Core.


    ¡°Previously, Yang Xiaotian intruded into Medicine Peak and injured several hundred of its disciples. In this True Dragon assessment, Disciple You Yi said he must teach Yang Xiaotian a lesson and make him apologize to the disciples of Medicine Peak,¡± someone said.


    Words like these asionally reached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ears from True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s disciples.


    Listening to these discussions of the True Dragon Divine Sect disciples, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm.


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to Heaven-Prating Peak, seeing everything familiar about the peak, his stern face finally showed a warm smile.


    He had been away at the Green Sea Dragon Pce for several months now; the girl must have already emerged from the True Dragon Secret Realm. He hadn¡¯t seen the girl for a long time, and he wondered if she had gained weight since then.


    ¡°Young Master!¡± Luo Qing was the first to spot Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon seeing the young master, Luo Qing eximed with surprise, ¡°The young master is back!¡±


    Luo Qing¡¯s voice alerted everyone at Heaven-Prating Peak.<div>


    All of them swarmed out in excitement.


    ¡°Young Master! The young master is back!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s faces lit up with joy.


    Yang Xiaotian saw his parents and the little girl beside them.


    The moment he saw the little girl, Yang Xiaotian smiled.


    Although they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a while and the girl had grown taller, he recognized her immediately.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, also waved her hand joyfully and shouted, then dashed toward him.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but be reminded of the times he used to practice the Taiji Scripture at the mountaintop behind the Yang Family Manor, and how the girl would run to find him just like this.


    As she ran, her long braids would swing about.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er threw herself into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arms and hugged him.


    Yang Xiaotian touched the girl¡¯s hair andughed, ¡°Little sister, you¡¯ve grown so tall.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er replied with a smile, ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve grown a lot taller too! If a few more years pass, I might not recognize you.¡±


    At that moment, Huang Ying came over andughed, ¡°Such a big girl now, yet still no sense of shame.¡±<div>


    Yang Ling¡¯er stuck out her tongue andughed, ¡°He¡¯s my brother; I¡¯m not ashamed at all.¡±


    Everyone chuckled good-naturedly.


    Amidst theughter and cheerful voices, the group walked back to the pce with Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Brother, you have no idea. During these past days without you, those people from Five Elements Peak have been so arrogant, especially that You Yi. Ever since he condensed his supreme Golden Core, his arrogance has be unbearable,¡± Yang Ling¡¯erined with a wrinkled nose as they entered the pce.


    Born with the Five Elements Sword Body, You Yi had named the peak he resided on as Five Elements Peak.


    ¡°How arrogant have they been?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile.


    ¡°Those from Five Elements Peak, every time they see us, they speak in an especially offensive manner,¡± Luo Qing said. ¡°Furthermore, You Yi is now very chummy with the people from Medicine Peak. He¡¯s been boasting that during the True Dragon assessment, he will teach you a lesson on behalf of Medicine Peak¡¯s disciples.¡±


    ¡°He says you owe Medicine Peak¡¯s disciples an apology!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°Oh really?¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s nonchnce, Yang Ling¡¯er asked worriedly, ¡°Brother, that You Yi, he¡¯s got a supreme Golden Core, and hisbat power is extraordinary. You have to be careful during the Acquired True Dragon assessment.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian reassured her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if your brother hasn¡¯t broken through to Martial Ancestor, I¡¯m confident I can defeat him.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s eyes crinkled with mirth, ¡°Keep boasting.¡± Then she remembered something and asked, ¡°Brother, while you were away, Princess Qingxuan came looking for you.¡± She then inquired with a mischievous look, ¡°Brother, honestly, what¡¯s going on between you and Princess Qingxuan?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, ¡°How could I possibly be involved with Princess Qingxuan? I simply treated her to grilled meat a few times, that¡¯s all.¡±<div>


    ¡°Grilled meat! I want to eat grilled meat too!¡±


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying could not help but smile, seeing Yang Xiaotian and Yang Ling¡¯er, brother and sister, being so affectionate with each other.


    Knowing that Qingxuan hade to the True Dragon Divine Sect, in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotian decided to take his sister to look for Qingxuan.


    Princess Qingxuan, princess of the Divine Dragon Empire, had been arranged by the Azure Dragon Divine Sect to stay in the finest pce.


    However, upon arriving at the pce where Qingxuan resided, they saw a group of people standing outside, obviously there to seek an audience with Qingxuan as well.


    Yang Ling¡¯er, noticing the people, frowned and said, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s that You Yi.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian followed his sister¡¯s gaze and looked over.


    Yang Xiaotian was long familiar with the name You Yi; the deputy dean of Tiandou Academy, Fan Riquan, had introduced him earnestly back then.


    However, the two of them had never met face to face.


    At that moment, You Yi¡¯s followers also noticed Yang Xiaotian and Yang Ling¡¯er and said to You Yi, ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s Yang Ling¡¯er, and there¡¯s Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Upon hearing this, You Yi promptly turned around, his gaze sharp as a sword, and looked towards Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 235: 235: Green Sea God Sect Defeated

    Chapter 235: Green Sea God Sect Defeated


    Yang Xiaotian and the other locked gazes.


    ¡°So you¡¯re Yang Xiaotian!¡± You Yi raised his chin arrogantly, scrutinizing Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored the other party and instead cupped his fists towards the guards of the Qingxuan Pce, ¡°My name is Yang Xiaotian, I would like an audience with Princess Qingxuan. Please inform her.¡±


    ¡°So it¡¯s Young Master Yang!¡± Upon hearing it was Yang Xiaotian, the guard hurriedly said, ¡°Please wait a moment, I will inform Her Highness Princess right away.¡± He then turned and entered the pce.


    You Yi¡¯s face darkened as Yang Xiaotian disregarded him.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, our young master is speaking to you! Did you hear that?¡± Wei Youcai, You Yi¡¯s subordinate, became annoyed when Yang Xiaotian ignored his master, ¡°Don¡¯t think you¡¯re so impressive just because you have the Divine me! Our young master has condensed a top-quality Golden Core, the only disciple in the True Dragon Divine Sect to do so in a hundred years!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced sideways, ¡°Is that so.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s indifferent reaction, You Yi said sternly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, having the Divine me in your possession is a disgrace to it! The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sectpare you with me; do you think you are worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as me?¡±


    Since Yang Xiaotian and You Yi were both specially recruited by the True Dragon Divine Sect this time, many disciples of the sect oftenpared the two.


    Initially, You Yi didn¡¯t feel anything about it, but since he had condensed his top-quality Golden Core, he believed it was an insult to his status topare Yang Xiaotian with him.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help butugh at these words, ¡°So you¡¯re implying that it wouldn¡¯t be a disgrace to the Divine me if it were in your hands?¡±


    ¡°You think I¡¯m not worthy to bepared with you?¡±


    Just as You Yi was about to respond, they heard a voice filled with surprise, ¡°Brother Xiaotian!¡± Then they saw Princess Qingxuan, her face full of joy, running out from the pce.


    Following her was Long Lan.


    After Qingxuan ran out of the pce, her face alight with excitement, she came up to Yang Xiaotian and immediately took his hand, ¡°You¡¯re finally back!¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er saw that as soon as Qingxuan came out, she happily took her brother¡¯s hand. She couldn¡¯t help but smirk at her brother, thinking: Didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s nothing between you and the princess? If there¡¯s nothing, why does she hold your hand?


    Yang Xiaotian, feeling his sister¡¯s teasing gaze, found it hard to defend himself.


    ¡°Uncle Lan,¡± he greeted Long Lan.


    Long Lan smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°This girl came to the True Dragon Divine Sect early, and she has been running to your mountain almost every day these days.¡±


    Qingxuan, however, denied it with a smile, ¡°I certainly have not.¡± She then took Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and led him into the pce, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, I¡¯ve recently tamed a mount beast,e, let me show you.¡±


    After saying that, she and Long Lan ushered Yang Xiaotian and his sister Yang Ling¡¯er into the pce.


    You Yi watched as Yang Xiaotian disappeared from view, his expression as sour as could be.


    Ever since he learned that Her Highness Princess Qingxuan of the Divine Dragon Empire hade to the True Dragon Divine Sect, he had requested an audience three times!


    But every time, he was stopped by the guards outside the pce.


    He hadn¡¯t even been granted an audience with Qingxuan.


    Not to mention being weed into the pce with such enthusiasm and surprise as Qingxuan did for Yang Xiaotian.


    He stared fixedly as Qingxuan took Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Young master,¡± Wei Youcai cautiously approached him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± You Yi grunted and left with a flicker of his body.<div>


    Wei Youcai and the others hastily followed.


    You Yi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes seething with killing intent, ¡°In the Acquired True Dragon assessment the day after tomorrow, I will show Yang Xiaotian that in my eyes, he is nothing!¡±


    ¡°I will make everyone know that Yang Xiaotian is not fit to bepared with me.¡±


    His voice echoed among the mountains for a long time.<div>


    Meanwhile, after being led into the pce by Qingxuan, Yang Xiaotian saw the new mount beast that she had mentioned.


    Qingxuan¡¯s mount beast was a little Azure Dragon.


    However, it was a young dragon with a small form, which was nothingpared to the Azure Thunder Python; it was tiny.


    The Little Azure Dragon approached Yang Xiaotian of its own ord, rubbing against him with great affection.


    Upon seeing this, Long Lanughed in surprise, ¡°This Little Azure Dragon was subdued by Qingxuan only after expending a tremendous effort, equivalent to that of nine bulls and two tigers. It attacks anyone else who gets close, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be so affectionate towards you.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled. The Little Azure Dragon¡¯s affection for him must be rted to his practice of the Primordial Dragon Art.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, I heard from Ling¡¯er that you went to the Four States Empire?¡± Qingxuan asked with a curious face, ¡°What did you do in the Four States Empire?¡±


    ¡°I heard that the Four States Empire had the True Dragon Origin Force, so I went there,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. ¡°Then I fought with two Divine Spirit Powerhouses.¡±


    But Qingxuan just chuckled, ¡°Brother Xiaotian really knows how to make peopleugh.¡±


    Long Lan also shook his head, smiling.


    As evening approached,


    Yang Xiaotian and his sister left the Qingxuan Pce and returned to Heaven-Prating Peak.


    Back at Heaven-Prating Peak, Yang Xiaotian focused on cultivating Thunderp Nine Heavens, Shadow Night Walk, and the Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power.<div>


    He had already mastered various Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, but there were realms beyond Summit Mastery.


    Only by surpassing Summit Mastery could he condense Sword Intent.


    The more Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Powers he cultivated, the stronger the force; the stronger his future Sword Intent would be.


    As for Yang Ling¡¯er, besides her daily practice, she would go to the fruit garden to pick arge pile of Spirit Fruits, and then she would sit around munching on them with Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and Huang Ying.


    Two days blinked past.


    The True Dragon assessment arrived.


    Strong practitioners from various Sects hurried to the square of the True Dragon Main Hall.


    This True Dragon assessment brought Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, and Lan Yi, all apanied by their elders.


    Even Great Elder Wang Zhou and his disciple Wu You from the Empire Pharmacist Hall had arrived.


    Li Hong, Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, Wang Zhou, and a group of Saint Realm experts led the way, followed by younger generations like Long Xingtian and Zhu Xuan.


    ¡°The Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python, has returned to its ancestry. Have you all heard about it?¡± On the way to the True Dragon Square, Zhao Jinzhou from the Sky-Stepping Sect suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°What, the Azure Thunder Python has returned to its ancestry?¡± Li Hong, Jiu Wu, Wang Zhou, and others were all shocked upon hearing this.


    Zhao Jinzhou¡¯s expression was grave as he nodded and said, ¡°Moreover, the Azure Thunder Python has achieved the Divine Spirit Realm and has been subdued by someone!¡±<div>


    ¡°Achieved the Divine Spirit Realm and subdued by someone?!¡± Li Hong, Jiu Wu, and others were incredulous and shocked.


    For Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, and others, it was like hearing something out of a legend.


    A Super Divine Beast of the Divine Spirit Realm, the Azure Thunder Python¡ª who could possibly subdue it?


    Even the number one person in the Divine Dragon Empire couldn¡¯t achieve that, right?


    ¡°It¡¯s absolutely true,¡± Zhao Jinzhou said solemnly. ¡°This person calls himself Lord Long, and some days ago, he rode the Azure Thunder Python and appeared in the Green Sea of the Four States Empire, where he fought against two Divine Spirit ancestors of the Green Sea God Sect!¡±


    The mention of a Divine Spirit Realm battle shook everyone to their core.


    Even Li Hong felt his heart tremble uncontrobly.


    Although he was at the pinnacle of the Saint Realm, in front of a Divine Spirit Realm being, he was still insignificant.


    ¡°What was the oue?¡± Li Hong asked with a dry throat.


    Zhao Jinzhou took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart, and said, ¡°The Green Sea God Sect was no match!¡±


    The crowd gasped in shock.


    So, the two Divine Spirit Realm old ancestors of the Green Sea God Sect were defeated together by the Super Divine Beast, the Azure Thunder Python!


    <div>

 Chapter 236: 236: Come Out and Fight

    Chapter 236: Come Out and Fight


    ¡°Is the Azure Thunder Python truly that formidable?¡± an Elder from the Sky-Stepping Sect asked timidly.


    ¡°Extremely powerful!¡± Zhao Jinzhou¡¯s expression was extraordinarily grave, ¡°Beyond imagination.¡± He paused then added, ¡°In just one move, an ind that had existed for countless years within a hundred miles shattered into pieces around it!¡±


    A torrent of shock and awe surged within everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Even though they had not witnessed the battle with their own eyes, they could still imagine how shocking that scene must have been.


    The inds that had stood for innumerable years under the dominion of the Green Sea God Sect had withstood the ravages of time but not the strike of the Azure Thunder Python.


    Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, Li Qianqian, Gu Shaozong, and others were so frightened that they dared not speak, and all were silent.


    ¡°When you go to the Red Moon Forest in the future, make sure you stay far away from Thunder Lake, understand?¡± Li Hong solemnly warned his granddaughter Li Qianqian after a long while.


    He knew his beloved granddaughter feared neither heaven nor earth; she had previously sneaked close to Thunder Lake while in the Red Moon Forest.


    If she truly angered the Azure Thunder Python, by that time, not to mention him, even if her father Li Dong personally took action, he might not be able to save her.


    Li Qianqian, who always feared neither heaven nor earth, solemnly nodded: ¡°I understand, Grandfather.¡±<div>


    Zhao Jinzhou from the Sky-Stepping Sect also warned Long Xingkong, Zhu Xuan, and others with an unprecedentedly serious tone, ¡°When you enter the Red Moon Forest in the future, you must also stay far away from Thunder Lake, do you understand?¡±


    ¡°We will follow the Elder¡¯s orders!¡± Inside, shaken, Long Xingkong, Zhu Xuan, and others agreed respectfully.


    Jiu Wu also sternly warned the disciples of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect not to approach Thunder Lake in the Red Moon Forest.


    The Elders from the Mahayana Divine Sect and others did the same.


    ¡°A few days ago, the Azure Thunder Python and that being from the volcano fought, did the one from the volcano lose?¡± Wang Zhou suddenly asked.


    Everyone exchanged nces.


    Zhao Jinzhou shook his head: ¡°Such beings are beyond our spection.¡±


    Without realizing it, Zhao Jinzhou, Li Hong, Wang Zhou, and others arrived at the Divine Dragon Square.


    The main hall of the True Dragon Divine Sect was located at True Dragon Peak, with the Divine Dragon Square situated halfway up the mountain, evenrger than the Divine Dragon Square in the Imperial Capital.


    Hu Nan had already arrived and, seeing Li Hong, Zhao Jinzhou, and the othersing, he approached from afar and greeted them with a smile and a fist salute, ¡°My humble apologies for theck of hospitality over the past few days, please forgive me.¡±


    Li Hong responded with a smile, ¡°Sect Master Hu, you are too kind.¡±


    After some pleasantries with everyone, Hu Nan invited the guests to take their seats.


    Once seated, Li Hong said to Hu Nan and Long Hao with a smile, ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect has produced a peerless genius like You Yi, a fact that truly makes us envious.¡±


    Long Haoughed heartily, ¡°The Green Lotus Tower Master tters us.¡± Then, turning to You Yi behind him, he said, ¡°You Yi,e and greet the Green Lotus Tower Master.¡±


    You Yi quickly stepped forward and bowed, ¡°My respects to the Green Lotus Tower Master.¡±


    ¡°Excellent!¡± Li Hong eximed with a smile, ¡°An extraordinary presence, a dragon among men.¡±


    Just then, the crowd stirred suddenly. Li Hong looked up to see, in the distance, Long Lan, Qingxuan, and arge group of experts from the Divine Dragon Imperial n flying towards them.


    By Qingxuan¡¯s side were Yang Xiaotian, Yang Ling¡¯er, and others.


    Li Hong¡¯s gazended on Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Originally, he had not nned toe to the True Dragon Divine Sect for this True Dragon examination.


    But upon learning that Yang Xiaotian was now a disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect and was participating in this examination, he changed his mind as ifpelled by some demon and came with his granddaughter.


    Back at the auction, Yang Xiaotian had made him lose face; he wanted to witness with his own eyes how Yang Xiaotian would be trounced by You Yi.


    Li Qianqian, Gu Shaozong, Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, Lan Yi, and many others saw Yang Xiaotian with unfriendly expressions, particrly Gu Shaozong and Zhu Xuan¡ªwho wished they could cut Yang Xiaotian into pieces.<div>


    You Yi, Hu Yue, Wang Yao, and others felt the same.


    Yang Xiaotian, aware of the hostile gazes from Li Qianqian, Gu Shaozong, You Yi, and others, which felt like knives, paid them no mind. He walked into the Divine Dragon Square chatting andughing with Qingxuan.


    As various experts continued to arrive, Hu Nan, seeing that the time was right, announced the beginning of the True Dragon examination.


    Normally, opponents in the previous True Dragon examinations were determined by drawing lots. However, You Yi suddenly stepped forward, saying to Hu Nan, ¡°Sect Master, I have a request that I hope you will grant.¡±


    Hu Nan and Long Hao exchanged nces, smiling, ¡°May we know what it is?¡±


    You Yi bowed and said, ¡°You Yi and Yang Xiaotian were both specially recruited into the True Dragon Divine Sect. Yang Xiaotian, having condensed five of the Strongest Sword Hearts, is hailed as an unmatched genius of the Sword Dao and even wields Divine me. He is considered a once-in-an-empire Alchemy genius. I¡¯ve always wanted the opportunity to spar with him and would ask the Sect Master to grant this wish!¡±


    Hu Nan was surprised.


    He couldn¡¯t help but turn his gaze toward Yang Xiaotian.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian.


    Zhu Xuan smiled and said, ¡°This should be interesting to watch.¡±


    Long Xingkong chuckled, ¡°What do you think, will Yang Xiaotian dare to ept this challenge?¡±


    Gu Shaozong grinned, ¡°If he epts, he¡¯s bound to lose! If he refuses, he¡¯ll be ridiculed by all the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    Li Qianqian, taking delight in cmity, said, ¡°If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t know how to choose either.¡±<div>


    Hu Nan pondered for a moment and smilingly asked Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, what do you say?¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er, pouting, said, ¡°Master, you¡¯re biased.¡±


    Hu Nan was taken aback and said affectionately, ¡°How is Master biased?¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er replied, ¡°Everyone knows that You Yi has already condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts, while my brother has only five.¡±


    Hu Nan chuckled and said, ¡°Well then, let¡¯s decide by drawing lots.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward, cupped his fists towards Hu Nan, and said, ¡°Sect Master, I am willing to fight.¡±


    Willing to fight!


    The moment the words were out, everyone was surprised.


    ¡°Brother,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er was about to speak when Yang Xiaotian shook his hand and then stepped forward to the center of the Divine Dragon Square. He looked at You Yi indifferently, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want a fight? Come on out and let¡¯s battle!¡±


    Upon hearing this, You Yi leaped up andnded in the center of the Divine Dragon Square. Standing before Yang Xiaotian, he spoke calmly and collectedly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you do not wish to, you can refuse this fight. I do not like to force others.¡±


    ¡°Make your move,¡± Yang Xiaotian said idly, uninterested in the other¡¯s pretense.


    He knew full well what his opponent was thinking.


    You Yi walked toward Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I will let you strike first.¡±<div>


    No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure shed; Yang Xiaotian had already approached him and threw a fierce punch that sted forth instantly.


    You Yi was startled and raised his fist to meet the oing punch.


    Their fists collided with explosive force.


    A shockwave swept through the area.


    You Yi only felt pain in his fist, as he was forced to retreat repeatedly, ending up dozens of meters away.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Even Hu Nan, Long Hao, Li Hong, and others were greatly surprised.


    ¡°Martial Ancestor!¡± the crowd eximed in surprise, looking at Yang Xiaotian.


    You Yi clenched his fist, eyeing Yang Xiaotian with disdain, ¡°So you¡¯ve already broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, no wonder you dare to fight me. But, Yang Xiaotian, do you think just because you¡¯ve broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, you have the strength to fight me?¡±


    Hu Nan watched Yang Xiaotian, deeply disappointed.


    In his view, since Yang Xiaotian had only mastered five Supreme Divine Powers to reach Summit Mastery and then broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, he must have formed an upper-quality Golden Core.


    ¡°What a pity!¡± he sighed to himself.


    Yang Xiaotian, possessing Divine me, had unlimited potential. Hu Nan had ced high hopes on him, wishing for Yang Xiaotian to cultivate all ten Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery before breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, at which point he would have formed a top-quality Golden Core.<div>


    But s, Yang Xiaotian had broken through to the Martial Ancestor all too soon.


    Li Hong also shook his head.


    Even Liang Yafei, who had brought Yang Xiaotian into the True Dragon Divine Sect, was filled with disappointment.

 Chapter 237: 237: What’s the Big Deal with the Ten Supreme Golden Cores?

    Chapter 237: What¡¯s the Big Deal with the Ten Supreme Golden Cores?


    Long Lan saw that Yang Xiaotian had chosen to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm so quickly, and shook his head, saying, ¡°Friend Yang is too impatient!¡±


    He felt that with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Dao talent, there was aplete hope of reaching the paramount Golden Core.


    Now that Yang Xiaotian had broken through to the Martial Ancestor, it was toote to say anything.


    Only with a stronger Golden Core is the foundation more profound.


    After that, cultivation would be more unobstructed.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, since you have condensed a high-grade Golden Core, I will not use the power of a paramount Golden Core, lest you feel unconvinced when you lose,¡± You Yi said indifferently.


    Sword Qi erupted from his entire body.


    mes of Sword Aura lit up Heaven and Earth, almost illuminating the entire True Dragon Peak.


    ¡°Six Strongest Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°Bright me Sword Heart!¡±<div>


    The powerhouses of various Supreme Sects present were astonished.


    Feeling the power of You Yi¡¯s six Strongest Sword Hearts, Li Hong praised, ¡°Truly worthy of being an unparalleled Sword Dao Genius with an Innate Sword Heart, to have condensed six Strongest Sword Hearts at such a young age!¡±


    ¡°The youth Sword God is nothing more than this!¡±


    The youth Sword God!


    Upon hearing Li Hong¡¯s praise for You Yi,


    everyone couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    Who is Li Hong?


    Li Hong is the disciple of the Green Lotus Sword Deity, having received the true transmission of the Green Lotus Sword Deity¡¯s Sword Dao, which can be said to be astonishingly powerful. If he says You Yi has the potential of a youth Sword God, then You Yi has the hope to achieve the status of Sword God in the future.


    Long Hao humbly smiled and said, ¡°The Green Lotus Tower Master is too kind with his praise; You Yi couldn¡¯t possibly deserve the title of a youth Sword God.¡±


    However, everyone could see that despite Long Hao¡¯s humble appearance, he was delighted in his heart.


    At that moment, You Yi leaped into the air and struck downwards towards the top of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head with both hands.


    Instantly, the power of the six Strongest Sword Hearts transformed into myriads of Sword Qi, roaring towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing You Yi drive the power of the six Strongest Sword Hearts into myriads of Sword Qi sting towards Yang Xiaotian, Yang Ling¡¯er, Qingxuan and others felt their hearts rise to their throats.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is going to lose!¡± Gu Shaozong shook his head.


    ¡°To lose this quickly, it¡¯s really dull,¡± Li Qianqian felt somewhat bored.


    Just as You Yi¡¯s Sword Qi was about to blow Yang Xiaotian away, suddenly, Sword Qi also burst forth explosively from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body, and Nine-Colored Sword Aura lit up the Nine Heavens.


    The Nine-Colored Sword Qi lighting exuded from his bodypletely overshadowed You Yi¡¯s me Sword Aura.


    Yang Xiaotian waved both hands.


    His Nine-Colored Sword Qi also transformed into a Sword Sea, confronting the myriad Sword Qi from the other party.<div>


    With a thunderous sound, the ngor of sword ngs echoed endlessly.


    The light of the swords burst forth in all directions.


    Layers uponyers of sword Qi waves swept towards every corner of True Dragon Peak.


    You Yi in mid-air only felt a supremely powerful force m into him, one so strong that he had no power to resist. Shocked, he attempted to retreat, but it was toote.<div>


    He was blown away.


    ¡°Six Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± Hu Nan, Li Hong, Long Lan, and others all watched Yang Xiaotian in shock.


    Yang Xiaotian had also condensed six Strongest Sword Hearts.


    And the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s six Nine-Colored Sword Hearts was clearly stronger than You Yi¡¯s.


    Even Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, Lan Yi and other geniuses who prided themselves on their extraordinary Sword Dao talent were astonished; they had practiced arduously for many years and could not condense nine Sword Hearts, let alone six Strongest Sword Hearts.


    ¡°So what if it¡¯s six Sword Hearts,¡± Gu Shaozong, after his initial shock, sneered, ¡°He has condensed a high-grade Golden Core, his Sword Dao talent is useless no matter how strong.¡±


    At this time, Hu Nan and Long Lan also remembered Yang Xiaotian¡¯s high-grade Golden Core, and they felt even more pity for him.


    Then, You Yi climbed up from the ground in the distance, looking at his torn battle robe with both shock and anger, he hadn¡¯t expected Yang Xiaotian to have also condensed six Strongest Sword Hearts¡ªand to have a stronger power than his own.


    ring angrily at Yang Xiaotian, a long sword appeared in his hand, and, with a sh, he moved in front of Yang Xiaotian and swung out, saying fiercely, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, take my ¡®Sword Path Unbeatable¡¯ strike!¡±


    Only to see his long sword in hand, bursting forth with resplendent and unparalleled Sword Qi.


    And behind You Yi, five Sword Steles faintly emerged.


    The power of the five Sword Steles seemed boundless and endless, pouring into the sword in his hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Sword Path Steles!¡±<div>


    ¡°Junior Brother You Yi has alreadyprehended the five Sword Path Steles!¡±


    Hu Yue, Wang Yao, Huang Xin, and others could not help but be excited.


    Hu Nan and others were also shocked. You Yi had joined the True Dragon Divine Sect for less than a year and had alreadyprehended five Sword Steles; such speed could be said to be unprecedented.


    ¡°This child You Yi, he must be the hope of our True Dragon Divine Sect!¡± Liu Ping, sitting next to Hu Nan, eximed excitedly.


    In her view, this child You Yi would surely be able toprehend all eighteen Sword Path Steles in the future.


    About the Sword Path, there has always been a legend that if someone canprehend all eighteen Sword Path Steles, they will be able to activate the supreme Sword Array of the Sword Path.


    With the protection of this Sword Array, even if attacked by countless Divine Spirits, the True Dragon Divine Sect would have nothing to fear.


    Hum!


    You Yi¡¯s long sword tore through the heavy air waves in front of Yang Xiaotian, striking him.


    ¡°Get out of True Dragon Square!¡± You Yimanded, his sword striking Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Brother!¡± ¡°Brother Xiaotian!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er and Qingxuan screamed in fright as You Yi¡¯s long sword pierced Yang Xiaotian, almost bursting into tears.


    However, as soon as You Yi finished speaking, he found that his long sword seemed to have struck an iron wall. Yang Xiaotian waspletely unmoved, not only that, but his long sword couldn¡¯t pierce into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest at all.


    A terrifying force burst forth from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.<div>


    You Yi¡¯s long sword was shaken out of his hands, and he himself was sent staggering back continuously, a gush of blood spraying from his mouth.


    ¡°What?!¡±


    Everyone was shocked.


    You Yi, with all his might, had activated the power of five Sword Path Steles, but it couldn¡¯t pierce Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    As the crowd looked on, they saw the spot on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest where he was pierced, perfectly intact, without a single hair out of ce.


    ¡°What kind of physique is this?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a top-tier Divine Body?¡±


    Many mighty beings were astonished.


    ¡°No, even a top-tier Divine Body wouldn¡¯t be unscathed without breaking the skin.¡± One of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s elders shook their head.


    Because he knew the power of the Sword Path Steles, with five Steles unleashed together, even a top-tier Divine Body would at least break the skin.


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, and others were stunned.


    You Yi who had been sent flying picked himself up from the ground with a look of disbelief, his expression gradually turning ferocious. He bellowed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, even if you have a supreme Divine Body, today, I will still defeat you!¡±


    With that, his entire body surged with golden light, and a dazzlingly bright Golden Core flew out from within him.<div>


    As the Golden Core emerged, everyone felt a blinding pain in their eyes, struggling to keep them open.


    Looking at the Golden Core, which resembled a miniature golden sun, many mighty figures eximed, ¡°A premium Golden Core!¡±


    The Golden Core stood aloft above You Yi¡¯s head, as he became like a golden war deity.


    Originally, he had said he would not use the premium Golden Core, but now, he could no longer care about that.


    ¡°Just an ordinary premium Golden Core.¡± Just as everyone was shocked by You Yi¡¯s Golden Core, Yang Xiaotian indifferently said.


    Upon hearing this, You Yiughed loudly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, from the sound of it, are you suggesting you¡¯ve condensed one of the top ten premium Golden Cores?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled faintly, ¡°The top ten premium Golden Cores are nothing special.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Long Hao snorted, ¡°The insolence and ignorance of a brat!¡±


    Even Hu Nan shook his head, feeling that Yang Xiaotian was speaking too arrogantly.


    The top ten premium Golden Cores are nothing special?


    For thousands of years in the Divine Dragon Empire, no one has been able to condense the top ten premium Golden Cores.


    At that moment, a Golden Core slowly flew out from within Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 238: 238: Child, what is your name?

    Chapter 238: Child, what is your name?


    When the Golden Core emerged from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, suddenly, Heaven and Earth lost their color.


    All light had lost its luster.


    Even the most dazzling of lights would lose their shine in front of this Golden Core, all color drained away.


    Even You Yi¡¯s top-grade Golden Core had lost its brilliance.


    First, True Dragon Peak started to shake violently.


    Then, the mountains surrounding True Dragon Peak began to tremble.


    Last, the entire True Dragon Divine Sect vibrated.


    The entire True Dragon Divine Sect was as if struck by a super earthquake.


    It was as though an infinite, invisible force made the True Dragon Divine Sect unable to stop shaking.


    Even the secluded grounds in the back mountain of the True Dragon Divine Sect began to tremble.<div>


    Li Zhengqing, who was cultivating in the forbidden area of the back mountain, was shaken to a halt and flew out of his cave dwelling, only to see the terrifying light above True Dragon Peak.


    He saw the rings of Divine Light within that light.


    ¡°What is this?!¡± Li Zhengqing, the Divine Spirit of the True Dragon Divine Sect, eximed in shock.


    ¡°It is, it is!¡± His voice trembled, excitedly incoherent, ¡°It is!¡±


    What it was, he failed to express.


    At True Dragon Square, Hu Nan, Long Hao, Li Hong, Long Lan, all Supreme Sects¡¯ Ancestors, all Supreme Sects¡¯ disciples, they all looked towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s slowly ascending Golden Core with shock and disbelief.


    And You Yi was utterly terrified.


    His face drained of color, he looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Golden Core with an unprecedented fear in his eyes.


    ¡°What kind of Golden Core is this!¡±


    ¡°Who can tell me what kind of Golden Core this is!¡±


    A True Dragon Divine Sect Ancestor trembled uncontrobly.


    For in his knowledge, this was definitely not one of the ten top-grade Golden Cores.


    Even the strongest, first-ranked top-grade Golden Core could not possibly possess such terrifying and peerless might.


    Hu Nan, Li Hong, Long Lan, and others suddenly thought of an ancient legend from the distant past.


    ¡°It is, it is!¡± Hu Nan was also excitedly iprehensible.


    Just as Hu Nan was too excited to express it like Li Zhengqing, suddenly, a Heaven-shaking dragon roar emanated from the deepest part of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s forbidden grounds.


    The Heaven-shaking dragon roar reverberated through all the spaces of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    One could see an incredibly massive Tyrant Dragon rising from the deepest part of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s forbidden grounds, its overwhelming dragon might sweeping across Heaven and Earth.


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, and all the powerful members of the True Dragon Divine Sect looked in astonishment towards the deepest part of the forbidden grounds.<div>


    ¡°Long Ancestor!¡±


    They knew that their Long Ancestor had been cultivating for many years and had not emerged in the world.


    Even for momentous events, their Long Ancestor would not appear.


    But now, he had emerged!<div>


    Even the Long Ancestor from the deepest part of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s forbidden grounds had been disturbed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Golden Core.


    At this moment, within the Divine Dragon Capital, the Divine Dragon Ancestor who had been in deep slumber at the very bottom was also awakened, flying up from the depths of the Imperial Capital to hover above, looking towards the True Dragon Divine Sect with great shock.


    ¡°Who is it?!¡±


    ¡°Who in the world is it?!¡±


    The voice of the Divine Dragon Ancestor, like the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder, echoed throughout the Imperial Capital.


    In his voice was shock and disbelief.


    And all the powerhouses within the Imperial Capital were staring in horror at the Divine Dragon Ancestor who had appeared in the sky above.


    How many years has the Divine Dragon Ancestor been hidden from the world?


    Even when Yang Xiaotian wielded the Divine mest time, it was but a stir, never coaxing him into the world.


    But now, he has emerged!


    Just as the Divine Dragon Ancestor appeared, in the Sky-Stepping Sect, one after another, enormous figures also showed up above its forbidden area.


    As these colossal figures surfaced above the forbidden area of the Sky-Stepping Sect, the might of Divine Spirits swept across Heaven and Earth.


    Lin Yu and the other Elders of the Sky-Stepping Sect were shocked as they looked at the Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors appearing above the forbidden area.<div>


    Those Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors, rarely seen in the world, even if one emerged, it would be a major event for the Sect, but now all the Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors had appeared!


    What could it possibly be that startled all Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors of their Sky-Stepping Sect?


    Although Lin Yu did not know what it was, he knew it must be a matter of great importance, and moreover, rted to the future of the Sky-Stepping Sect; otherwise, it was impossible for all Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors to be rmed.


    All Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors of the Sky-Stepping Sect emerged, and just like the Divine Dragon Ancestor from the Imperial Capital, all turned their eyes towards the direction of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    ¡°Where is Lin Yu?!¡± Suddenly, a Divine Spirit Realm Ancestor of the Sky-Stepping Sect called out.


    The one who spoke was Wu Peng, the most powerful Elder among the Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Lin Yu¡¯s entire body shuddered, and he quickly soared forward, bowing deeply, ¡°Lin Yu is here.¡±


    ¡°Check immediately! Who from the True Dragon Divine Sect has condensed the Divine Elixir?¡± Wu Peng¡¯s voice wasden with immense gravity.


    Divine Elixir!


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yu almost fell from the sky.


    He finally understood why all the Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors of their Sky-Stepping Sect were startled.


    ¡°Go now!¡± Seeing Lin Yu in a daze, Wu Peng could not help but bellow angrily.


    Scared to tremble, Lin Yu responded, ¡°Yes, Ancestor!¡±<div>


    Meanwhile, in the Ancient Divine Pce, Maha Divine Sect, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and other Supreme Sects¡¯ forbidden areas, the Divine Spirit Ancestors had all been roused.


    Just then, with the emergence of the Divine Elixir, all the Divine Spirits in the world were shocked!


    While the Divine Dragon Ancestor and Wu Peng of the Sky-Stepping Sect were startled by the emerging Divine Elixir, at True Dragon Peak, everyone was stunned as they looked at the Divine Elixir above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Elixir flew out, You Yi¡¯s originally dazzling and supreme Golden Core paled inparison, trembling as it fell from the sky.


    It seemed utterly unable to withstand the divine might of the Divine Elixir, getting sted down.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, you are so strong!¡± Suddenly, standing beside Long Lan, Qingxuan waved her delicate little hands, excitedly shouting.


    At the Empire¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, Qingxuan¡¯s excited, coquettish voice now echoed once more through Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, I love you!¡± Qingxuan called out excitedly, her eyes filled with excitement, adoration, and fervor.


    Even Yang Ling¡¯er beside her could hardly bear it upon hearing the excited coquettish voice.


    Just as Qingxuan excitedly shouted, suddenly, a figure broke through the sky from the True Dragon forbidden area, followed quickly by the oppressive and divine might of the enormous Tyrant Dragon, also flying from the depths of the True Dragon forbidden area.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon arrived at True Dragon Peak together.


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, Deng Hongqing, and all the Saint Realm powers from the True Dragon Divine Sect bowed deeply, saying excitedly, ¡°We greet the Ancestor, Long Ancestor!¡±


    All disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, frightened, knelt on the ground, ¡°We greet the Ancestor, Long Ancestor!¡±<div>


    Even Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong, Long Lan, Zhao Jinzhou, and others hurriedly bowed in greeting.


    At the scene, disciples from various sects knelt in veneration.


    Li Zhengqing seemed not to notice the crowd; instead, he was overwhelmed with excitement as he approached Yang Xiaotian, trembling, he said, ¡°Indeed, it is a Divine Elixir!¡±


    ¡°Heaven bless our True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    Divine Elixir!


    Many powerful individuals from various sects present recalled the incredibly ancient legends, all utterly aghast.


    ¡°Child, what is your name?¡± Li Zhengqing asked Yang Xiaotian with unbelievable excitement, his voice very gentle, as if fearing his own voice would be loud and startle Yang Xiaotian.


    (Exciting, exciting, exciting! Writing this brings tears to my eyes. I hope it thrills you as well.)

 Chapter 239: 239: Divine Child of the True Dragon Divine Sect

    Chapter 239: Divine Child of the True Dragon Divine Sect


    ¡°Elder, this is Yang Xiaotian,¡± Hu Nan, still greatly shaken, hastened to step forward and respectfully said.


    Li Zhengqing was surprised, then his face lit up with joy, ¡°So you are Xiaotian!¡±


    Of course, he remembered the young man who controlled the Divine me.


    ¡°Good, haha, excellent!¡± After his initial delight, Li Zhengqing was even more thrilled,ughing joyously and heartily.


    Indeed, this young man who had condensed a Divine Elixir, was none other than thed who had mastery over the Divine me.


    Suddenly, the Tyrant Dragon spoke, ¡°This child shall be honored as the Divine Son of the True Dragon Divine Sect.¡±


    Divine Son!


    All the Elders and disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were taken aback.


    It was known that since the founding of the True Dragon Divine Sect, the highest title had always been that of a Sacred Transmission Disciple.


    None had ever been titled Divine Son.<div>


    Hu Nan was also taken aback; he hadn¡¯t expected their Long Ancestor to directly bestow the title of Divine Son upon Yang Xiaotian.


    This was an unprecedented honor in the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    At this, Deng Hongqing couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Long Ancestor, this move is not proper. Our True Dragon Divine Sect has never titled anyone as Divine Son.¡±


    However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the Tyrant Dragon snorted coldly, and with a flick of its mountainous w, Deng Hongqing, as if struck by a mighty blow, was sted away from True Dragon Peak, crashing into the mountain opposite.


    ¡°Improper?¡± The Tyrant Dragon gave Deng Hongqing a cold nce, ¡°Is it your ce to decide what¡¯s proper or not?¡±


    Originally, Liu Ping, relying on her status as the wife of the Sect Master, had also wanted to voice her disapproval, but seeing the miserable state of Deng Hongqing, her heart skipped fiercely.


    The other Saint Realm individuals of the True Dragon Divine Sect were also deeply rmed.


    Deng Hongqing bowed his head, daring not to say another word, yet fury churned within him.


    And so, Hu Nan announced on the spot that Yang Xiaotian was the Divine Son of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Li Zhengqing, taking Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, smiled at him, ¡°Xiaotian, I have something to ask you. Why don¡¯t youe visit my cave dwelling?¡±


    All disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, including Hu Nan, looked at Yang Xiaotian with faces filled with envy.


    Who was Li Zhengqing? He was the oldest and most powerful Elder of the Divine Spirit Realm in the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Even Hu Nan had never been invited into his cave dwelling.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°No, today there is the True Dragon examination. Perhaps another time.¡±


    Pfft!


    Some Elders of the True Dragon Divine Sect almost spit out their water.


    Yang Xiaotian had actually declined the invitation of their Elder Ancestor, for the sake of a True Dragon examination.


    Hu Nan was dumbfounded.


    In truth, Yang Xiaotian was not being pretentious; to him, today¡¯s True Dragon examination was indeed very important as it rted to his cultivation in the True Dragon Secret Realm and the potential existence of the Myriad Dragons Divine me within.<div>


    This was far more significant than visiting Li Zhengqing¡¯s cave dwelling.


    Li Zhengqing was taken aback, clearly not expecting Yang Xiaotian to refuse him.


    He, who had been held in the utmost regard within the True Dragon Divine Sect, had not had a disciple dare to refuse him for many years.


    But after a moment¡¯s surprise, he chuckled, ¡°Fine, then next time.¡± He then turned to Hu Nan, ¡°Xiaotian is not familiar with my cave dwelling. When he wants toe, you bring him.¡±<div>


    Hu Nan, realizing he had be an errand boy, had a wry smile in his heart as he respectfully said, ¡°As youmand, Elder.¡±


    Li Zhengqing smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, focus on your True Dragon examination. Long Ancestor and I will not disturb you. Remember to visit my cave dwelling.¡±


    Then he and the Tyrant Dragon tore through the sky and left, returning to the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s forbidden grounds.


    The people watched as Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon departed, their feelingsplex.


    The True Dragon examination continued thereafter.


    But when people looked at Yang Xiaotian again, their gazes had changed dramatically.


    Especially those from Gu Shaozong, like Li Qianqian and others who had sneered at Yang Xiaotian before, now had a look of fear in their eyes, and beyond that fear, a strong jealousy.


    Not to mention Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, even Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and Wang Zhou ¨C these Sect Ancestors were burning with envy.


    It was a Divine Elixir after all.


    Something that only existed in ancient times.


    Even the most monstrously talented geniuses of the ancient era would not have been able to produce it.


    However, in the subsequent True Dragon examination, You Yi directly conceded defeat.


    Facing a Divine Elixir, he simply couldn¡¯t muster the courage to battle Yang Xiaotian any longer.<div>


    When You Yi conceded straight away, the new disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect had even less courage to challenge Yang Xiaotian and all admitted defeat directly.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian won the True Dragon examination without any suspense.


    Witnessing this oue, everyone was full of sighs and murmurs.


    With that, the True Dragon examination concluded, and the Sect Ancestors from all major sects came forward to congratte Hu Nan.


    Hu Nan¡¯s smile was so wide it was almost crooked.


    Yang Ling¡¯er and Qingxuan rushed to Yang Xiaotian, taking his hands with indescribable joy.


    Long Lan, witnessing Yang Xiaotian before her, could hardly contain the happiness in her heart.


    ¡°Friend Yang¡¯s fusion of a Divine Elixir is unprecedented in eternity, a blessing for our Empire.¡± Long Lan genuinely smiled, ¡°This is truly a joyous asion.¡±


    She was genuinely happy for Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaolongughed and said, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Lan.¡±


    He looked at Hu Nan, who was surrounded by the Elders, grinning until his mouth was awry. Luckily, he had only revealed one Divine Elixir. If he had shown two, Hu Nan¡¯s nose might have been crooked from smiling so much.


    On the spot, Hu Nan dered to everyone in the True Dragon Divine Sect a grand celebration,sting ten days and nights!


    Any sect producing a disciple who had fused a Divine Elixir wouldn¡¯t just celebrate for ten days and nights. Even a whole month would not be considered excessive.<div>


    Immediately, Hu Nan invited the Sect Ancestors from all major sects to a banquet in the True Dragon Main Hall.


    As the main character, Yang Xiaotian also attended.


    After the banquet, Yang Xiaotian returned to Heaven-Prating Peak with Yang Ling¡¯er, Yang Chao, and others.


    Qingxuan, who originally had her own pce to reside in, did not return to it. Instead, she went back to Heaven-Prating Peak with Yang Xiaotian.


    This time, Long Lan unusually did not stop her.


    While the True Dragon Divine Sect celebrated joyously, the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fusion of the Divine Elixir spread like wildfire, stirring the Divine Dragon Empire into a frenzy.


    Many sect disciples were so excited that they ran about spreading the news.


    When Gu Xi, the prince of the Ancient Sword Kingdom who was still in the Imperial Capital, heard the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Elixir, he excitedly threw his arms in the air and shouted towards the sky, ¡°Divine Yang, I love you!¡±


    His deration frightened the male ves of the Azure Dragon Residence so much that they clenched their buttocks and fled as far away as they could.


    As many sect disciples excitedly spread the word, the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s main hall was deathly silent, the atmosphere oppressively eerie.


    Wu Peng sat upon the grand throne, his voiceden with weight, ¡°No matter what, Yang Xiaotian must die!¡±


    ¡°Elder.¡± The Sky-Stepping Sect Master, Lin Yu, hesitated, ¡°If Yang Xiaotian stays within the True Dragon Divine Sect, it will be difficult to kill him.¡±


    Wu Peng suddenly said, ¡°Invite the King of Netherworld.¡±<div>


    Hearing Wu Peng mention the King of Netherworld, Lin Yu and the many Saint Realm Elders were all startled.


    The King of Netherworld, the number one assassin on the list.


    His strength remains a mystery to this day, but so far, there¡¯s been no one he couldn¡¯t kill.


    He had even once assassinated a peak existent of the Saint Realm, tenthyer.


    ¡°But, employing the King of Netherworld wille at too great a cost,¡± Lin Yu shook his head, ¡°and it¡¯s not certain he would agree to make a move.¡±


    ¡°He will, ¡± Wu Peng said confidently, a bead of darkness appearing in his hand ¨C a bead that seemed to hail from Hell. Within the cold, ck radiance, the faint wails of countless lost souls could be heard.


    ¡°The Netherworld Bead!¡± Lin Yu and the others were shocked.


    Wu Peng nodded, ¡°Yes, the Netherworld Bead. The King of Netherworld has been searching for this bead for many years. Armed with this Netherworld Bead, he will undoubtedly take action.¡±

 Chapter 240: 240: King of Assassins, King of Netherworld

    Chapter 240: King of Assassins, King of Netherworld


    Upon seeing the Netherworld Bead in Wu Peng¡¯s hands, Lin Yu eximed with joy, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll have someone contact the King of Netherworld immediately!¡±


    Wu Peng nodded, then changed the topic, saying, ¡°The Azure Thunder Python has undergone Bloodline Return to Ancestry. What do you all think of this matter?¡±


    Another Divine Spirit Realm ancestor of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Tang Hong, said, ¡°If we can form an alliance with the Azure Thunder Python and that Lord Long, the fall of the Divine Dragon Imperial n is imminent!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, as long as we ally with the Azure Thunder Python and that Lord Long, plus the Green Sea God Sect and the Four States Imperial Family, we could single-handedly obliterate the Divine Dragon Imperial n.¡± Other Divine Spirit ancestors also spoke up one after another.


    Wu Peng said to Lin Yu, ¡°Find out the whereabouts of the Azure Thunder Python and Lord Long at all costs; we must also rope in that Lord Long.¡±


    ¡°Tell him that if he¡¯s willing to form an alliance with our Sky-Stepping Sect, he may select anything he desires from the treasuries of our sect.¡±


    ¡°Yes, ancestor.¡±


    The next day.


    It was You Yi¡¯s mentorship ceremony.


    Originally, the strong practitioners from various major sects came to the True Dragon Divine Sect mainly for his mentorship ceremony, but after yesterday¡¯s True Dragon assessment, everyone lost interest in the ceremony.<div>


    Throughout the mentorship ceremony, individuals like Li Hong, Zhao Jinzhou, and Wang Zhou were all distracted.


    The event didn¡¯t even have the anticipatedughter and cheerful voices.


    Even You Yi and Ancestor Long Hao couldn¡¯t muster a smile.


    During the mentorship ceremony, Yang Xiaotian did not attend, instead, he was cultivating the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique on Heaven-Prating Peak.


    He had persisted in practicing the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    Now, he had reached the twenty-fourth move, ¡°Nine Swords Reincarnation.¡±


    If it had been before, the absence of Yang Xiaotian from You Yi¡¯s mentorship ceremony would have certainly incited scathing remarks from people like Hu Yue, Zhu Miaomiao, and Wang Yao, but after yesterday¡¯s True Dragon test, these individuals were dispirited during the ceremony,cking the energy to speak up.


    The mentorship ceremony concluded somewhat hastily.


    As the sun set.


    Yang Xiaotian stood on Heaven-Prating Peak, gazing at the setting sun on the horizon.


    He enjoyed watching the sunset.


    The glow of the sunset draped over everything on the earth, casting a colorful splendor.


    Just then, a sudden surge of astonishing power emanated from somewhere on Heaven-Prating Peak, apanied by a holy light shooting up into the sky.


    Yang Xiaotian saw the rising holy light, not rmed but ted.


    In the Green Sea Dragon Pce, he had obtained many imperial ss elixirs from the Dragon n. After returning, he selected the best imperial ss elixir for the ck Flood Dragon King.


    For the past two days, the ck Flood Dragon King had been in seclusion, cultivating.


    It seemed that the ck Flood Dragon King, who had been stuck at the peak of the Emperor Realm, was about to break through to the Saint Realm.


    The ck Flood Dragon King¡¯s breakthrough to the Saint Realm naturally garnered the attention of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s upper echelon.


    Upon hearing the news, Hu Nanughed joyously, ¡°Good! Three blessings have arrived at our door!¡±<div>


    Since the ck Flood Dragon King was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Mount Beast, its breakthrough to the Saint Realm would add a significant strength to the True Dragon Divine Sect, which was indeed a great event for the sect.


    The next day.


    Hu Nan visited Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mountain peak and personally gave him a token, smiling, ¡°This Divine Son Token is unique, I forged it myself yesterday using the only piece of True Dragon Essence Stone from our True Dragon Divine Sect.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian epted the Divine Son Token and said, bowing his fist, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master.¡±<div>


    Hu Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian, as I¡¯ve said before, you can just call me Uncle Hu in the future.¡±


    Afterward, he took another look around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heaven-Prating Peak and gazed upon the Heaven-Prating Stele that Yang Xiaotian had erected. ¡°Excellent stele, excellent swordsmanship!¡± he eximed.


    Now, anything rted to Yang Xiaotian he found particrly pleasing to the eye.


    Before leaving, Hu Nan told Yang Xiaotian to prepare and that he would enter the True Dragon Secret Realm to cultivate the very next day.


    Late at night.


    The night was as cool as water.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Dragon Qi surged around his body, more than two thousand True Essence Dragons twined around him.


    During this breakthrough into the Martial Ancestor Realm, the True Dragon Power he awakened had reached over two thousand strands.


    And his True Dragon Body had sessfully broken through to the True Dragon Tyrant Body, and because of this, even You Yi¡¯s activation of the five Sword Steles¡¯ powers of the Sword Path could not shake him in the slightest.


    With the terrifying defense of his current True Dragon Tyrant Body, not to mention You Yi, who was at the first level of Martial Ancestor, even if he broke through to the fourth or fifth level, he still would not be able to shake Yang Xiaotian at all.


    The ck Tortoise Martial Spirit and the ck Dragon Martial Spirit hovered above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, inhaling and exhaling as spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens poured down continuously.


    After breaking through to the Martial Ancestor, both powerful Martial Spirits underwent significant changes as well.<div>


    The tortoise shell of the ck Tortoise Martial Spirit became even thicker, with interwoven patterns that seemed to contain the profound mysteries of Heaven and Earth.


    The eyes of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit zed even more intensely with golden mes. Its body was engulfed in rolling Dark Power, and its ck dragon scales became even more robust.


    Before he knew it, dawn had arrived.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating and, when he came to the hall, Qingxuan, Long Lan, and the Yang Family were all there.


    Today, Yang Xiaotian was set to enter the True Dragon Secret Realm for training and would not emerge until a yearter. Qingxuan and Long Lan were also going to return to the Imperial Capital and hade to bid farewell to Yang Xiaotian.


    At the moment of farewell, Qingxuan¡¯s eyes brimmed with tears as she clutched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, ¡°Brother Xiaotian, remember toe see me in the Imperial Capital after youe out of the True Dragon Secret Realm. I will ask Father Emperor to let me marry you.¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er sprayed out the lollipop in her mouth, staring at her older brother. Wasn¡¯t this supposed to be nothing serious? Yet, it had escted to the point of discussing marriage.


    I don¡¯t believe you for a second!


    Both Yang Chao and Huang Ying were also dumbstruck.


    Feeling the burning stares of his sister and parents, Yang Xiaotian said to Qingxuan with a smile, ¡°Alright, once Ie out of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, I will go to see you in the Imperial Capital.¡±


    At these words, Qingxuan was overjoyed and even hooked fingers with Yang Xiaotian.


    Finally, Qingxuan and Long Lan left the Heaven-Prating Peak to return to the Imperial Capital.


    Yang Xiaotian, in thepany of his sister and family, made his way to the entrance of the True Dragon Secret Realm.<div>


    Hu Nan personally opened the entrance for Yang Xiaotian, sending him in.


    As he sent Yang Xiaotian into the realm, he instructed him to make the most of every day in the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian could only cultivate there for one year.


    Watched by everyone, Yang Xiaotian entered the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    The entrance to the secret realm closed.


    However, no one noticed that a second before the secret realm¡¯s entrance closed, a figure also followed Yang Xiaotian into the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    This figure, hidden in space, possessed a stealth technique far more advanced than that of the previous Shadow Night Demon, so much so that even Hu Nan failed to detect its presence.


    As the True Dragon Secret Realm closed, Hu Nan and the others departed.


    They would return after a year to wait for Yang Xiaotian toe out.


    Upon entering the True Dragon Secret Realm, Yang Xiaotian looked around and saw mountain ranges ahead, spiritual medicines scattered all over, and pure True Dragon Qi drifting throughout the space.


    This True Dragon Secret Realm was like an undeveloped mini-world.


    While Yang Xiaotian was flying, he suddenly turned his head and called out, ¡°Doesn¡¯t Your Excellency intend toe out?¡±


    The figure that had followed him into the realm evidently hesitated for a moment before finally emerging from the void.<div>


    The one who appeared was an old man radiating coldness, holding the de of Death, and looked at Yang Xiaotian with surprise and suspicion.


    ¡°The King of Killers, King of Netherworld,¡± Yang Xiaotian said slowly, looking at the old man.

 Chapter 241: 241 The King of Netherworld is Startled

    Chapter 241: The King of Netherworld is Startled


    When Yang Xiaotian recognized his identity, the King of Netherworld was taken aback, looking at Yang Xiaotian with surprised doubt.


    ¡°Speak, who sent you?¡± Xiaotian looked at his opponent, ¡°I could spare your life.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, the King of Netherworldughed, hisugh raspy and extremely piercing, ¡°Kid, this is the True Dragon Secret Realm,pletely isted from the outside, even if I kill you here, Yang Zhengqing and the Dragon Ancestor outside will never know.¡±


    ¡°And you will spare me?¡±


    For the past two days, he had restrained himself from taking action, waiting for Xiaotian to enter the True Dragon Secret Realm before making a move.


    After all, if he took action outside, it would alert the likes of Yang Zhengqing and the Dragon Ancestor.


    But once inside the True Dragon Secret Realm, he could act without any concerns.


    As he spoke, the de of Death in his hand shed with a cold light, instantly slicing towards Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    The de of Death was a top-tier Holy Artifact.


    There were no less than thirty Supreme Sect Ancestors who had fallen under this de of Death.<div>


    With a wave of the de of Death, the space before Xiaotian was slit open.


    Just as the de of Death was about to cut into Xiaotian¡¯s throat, suddenly, a giant w with ice-blue mes appeared.


    The me-covered giant w directly blocked the de of Death.


    The de of Death struck the fire-w, sparking showers of mes.


    But to the King of Netherworld¡¯s shock, his supposedly sharp enough to cut through anything de of Death only left a shallow white scratch on the me-encased giant w.


    He himself was shaken back continuously, tumbling over and over.


    The de of Death in his hand let out a whining sound, as if it were trembling, in fear. Startled, he looked and saw that an Iceme Behemoth of immense size had appeared at Xiaotian¡¯s side at some point.


    Seeing the Iceme Behemoth, the King of Netherworld¡¯s body jerked, his face drastically changing with disbelief, ¡°Beast God!¡±


    Previously, even the Azure Thunder Python could only be called the Divine Beast King.


    In the entire Red Moon Forest, only the Iceme Kylin could be called the Beast God.


    The Iceme Kylin was also the only one in the Divine Dragon Empire referred to by the mighty as the Beast God.


    For the entire Divine Dragon Empire, only the Iceme Kylin was a Super Divine Beast.


    The King of Netherworld couldn¡¯t believe it, the Beast God Iceme Kylin was actually following Xiaotian.


    His face turned pale, realizing that if this were somewhere else, he might have a sliver of hope to escape, but he was inside the True Dragon Secret Realm now.


    Only Hu Nan could open the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    How could he escape?


    Seeing the Beast God Iceme Kylin, he knew it was no longer possible to kill Xiaotian.


    He turned to flee, attempting to break through the air and escape far away.


    Now, his only option was to flee deep into the mountains of the True Dragon Secret Realm, using the terrain to see if there was still any hope for survival.<div>


    However, just as he was about to turn and run, suddenly, a gigantic thousand-zhang tail swept across with formidable power, the likes of which the King of Netherworld had rarely seen in his life.


    Startled out of his wits, the King of Netherworld poured all his strength into the de of Death to strike out.


    But the de of Death in his hands was instantly sent flying by the sweep, and he himself was sted into a distant mountain.


    The sound of the mountain crumbling echoed nonstop.<div>


    The King of Netherworld flew out from the rubble, blood spewing from his mouth, his top-tier Holy Artifact armor already in tatters.


    He looked at the newly appeared Azure Thunder Python in horror, ¡°Divine Beast King!¡±


    The one who had just taken action was indeed the Azure Thunder Python.


    After its Bloodline Return to Ancestry, bing a Super Divine Beast, the strength of the Azure Thunder Python was not just on par with the Iceme Kylin, but perhaps even slightly stronger.


    While the King of Netherworld was still in shock, Xiaotian rose up into the sky, stood on the head of the Azure Thunder Python, and then rode it as it flew towards him.


    The Iceme Kylin followed closely by Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    It was a moment of sheer astonishment.


    Riding atop the Divine Beast King, with the Beast God following by his side.


    Even without the two Super Divine Beasts emitting any aura, their presence was enough to make the King of Netherworld¡¯s chest muscles tremble.


    Witnessing this scene, he even forgot to flee.


    Or rather, he no longer had the courage to escape.


    Although his strength was immense, it was, after all, only at the peak of the Saint Realm¡¯s tenth level.


    He watched Yang Xiaotian standing on the head of the Azure Thunder Python in terror.<div>


    Previously, when he had epted the mission from the Sky-Stepping Sect, he was quite pleased with himself, thinking that assassinating a newly advanced Martial Ancestor was no different from ughtering a weak chicken.


    Now, he realized, this was no weak chicken.


    It was a behemoth from prehistoric times.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python arrived in front of the other party.


    He looked coldly at him, ¡°Who sent you?¡±


    The King of Netherworld¡¯s throat bobbed, but still, he did not open his mouth.


    ¡°Previously, the Shadow Night Demon came to kill me, and I gave him two chances,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly. ¡°Unfortunately, he did not cherish the final opportunity.¡±


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian mention the Shadow Night Demon, the King of Netherworld¡¯s heart shook. Did Yang Xiaotian imply that the Shadow Night Demon was already dead?


    The King of Netherworld¡¯s face went from dark to light.


    To speak would mean survival, yet he would have to face the towering rage of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Thinking of the massive entity that was the Sky-Stepping Sect, his heart trembled.


    But to stay silent meant death.


    Were he to shake his head, what awaited him would surely be a world-shattering strike from the two Super Divine Beasts.<div>


    Suddenly, darkness surged throughout his body, turning into wisps of ck light, and he vanished from the spot.


    Seeing the King of Netherworld still deciding to flee, Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate and ordered, ¡°Kill!¡±


    Instantly, a giant w of the Iceme Qilin struck down, and all before them¡ªthe ground, mountains, trees, even space itself¡ªwas encased in ice.


    In the blink of an eye, the entire area as far as Yang Xiaotian could see turned into a world of blue ice, like something out of a fairytale.


    As all space was frozen, the King of Netherworld, who had just disappeared from his original spot, was now crystallized atop a mountain hundreds of miles away.


    The King of Netherworld still held the pose of fleeing, his face full of horror.


    Yang Xiaotian, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Iceme Qilin approached the King of Netherworld, looking at him frozen in the ice, Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°What a pity, like the Shadow Night Demon, you did not cherish yourst chance.¡±


    The King of Netherworld was filled with regret and wanted to speak, but he was utterly unable to break the icy might of the Iceme Qilin and could only watch helplessly as its enormous w struck down.


    Boom!


    The giant w of the Iceme Qilin smashed the King of Netherworld deep into the earth.


    The entire mountain crumbled to dust.


    The King of Netherworldy at the bottom of the mountain.


    By then, the Iceme Qilin¡¯s previously cast freezing power had dissipated. Hey at the foot of the mountain, his body a mangled mess, no longer recognizably human.<div>


    The King of Netherworld opened his mouth.


    Looking at the King of Netherworld who was still notpletely dead, the Iceme Qilin struck down with another w, stamping him further into the depths beneath the earth.


    Just as the King of Netherworld had been about to speak, he was silenced forever.


    The number one assassin of the Divine Dragon Empire, the King of Netherworld, dead!


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand, and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire flew out, incinerating the body of the King of Netherworldpletely. With a single gesture, he collected the de of Death into his hands.


    Afterward, he found the King of Netherworld¡¯s Space Ring not far from the corpse; upon opening it, he found it full of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and Secret Tomes.


    There were far more Spirit Stones than what the Shadow Night Demon had possessed.


    It seemed that being an assassin was quite a profitable business.

 Chapter 242: 242 Qingxuan Gets Injured

    Chapter 242: Qingxuan Gets Injured


    He didn¡¯t bother to count the Spirit Stones but flipped through those Secret Tomes instead.


    Among the Secret Tomes, there were indeed a few Supreme Divine Powers.


    One of these Supreme Divine Powers, the ¡°Kiss of Death,¡± piqued Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest.


    He had also learned about the King of Netherworld, the number one assassin of the Empire.


    The Kiss of Death was precisely the Divine Power that made the King of Netherworld famous.


    It was this Supreme Divine Power that earned him the title of King of Netherworld.


    There was a rumor that if this Supreme Divine Power were cultivated to its limit, one could incarnate as the god of death, evenmunicate with the powers of Hell¡ªits truth was unknown.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully reviewed the Kiss of Death from beginning to end, and after ensuring he hadpletely memorized it, he began to wander around the True Dragon Secret Realm with the Azure Thunder Python and Iceme Qilin.


    Since he still had a year to spend in the True Dragon Secret Realm, he was not in a hurry to cultivate. What mattered most for now was to search for the Myriad Dragons Divine me.


    The True Dragon Secret Realm was evenrger than Yang Xiaotian had imagined; it took a full day of flying with the Azure Thunder Python, and they still hadn¡¯t made a full circle.<div>


    It wasn¡¯t until two dayster that Yang Xiaotian returned to the starting point.


    However, after two days, Yang Xiaotian had almost scoured every corner of the True Dragon Secret Realm but had not found any trace of the Myriad Dragons Divine me.


    Unwilling to give up, Yang Xiaotian searched again with the two beasts.


    This time, he even utilized the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire to see if he could lure out the Myriad Dragons Divine me.


    Yet, even after carefully searching again with the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, there was still no sign of the Myriad Dragons Divine me.


    Yang Xiaotian felt disappointed in his heart.


    Could the Myriad Dragons Divine me not be within the True Dragon Secret Realm?


    ¡°It seems that the Myriad Dragons Divine me is not inside the True Dragon Secret Realm,¡± the Iceme Qilin said, shaking its head.


    It and the Azure Thunder Python had been continuously expanding their divine consciousness to search and sense; if the Myriad Dragons Divine me were within the True Dragon Secret Realm, it would be impossible not to discover it.


    After fruitlessly searching twice, Yang Xiaotian stopped looking and calmed his mind to begin cultivating.


    He came to the ce where the True Dragon Qi was the densest within the True Dragon Secret Realm, sat down cross-legged, and started to operate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Suddenly, the ck Tortoise and the ck Dragon Martial Spirit appeared.


    The power of the two Supreme Martial Kings permeated the entire True Dragon Secret Realm.


    True Dragon Qi surged from all directions into Yang Xiaotian, a tumultuous tide, pouring into his body like the sea.


    A celestial dragon might emanated from Yang Xiaotian.


    Although the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python had seen Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two Supreme Martial Spirits before, they were still unable to hide their shock every time they witnessed them.


    ¡°My lord will surely be the Divine Master of the Martial Soul World!¡± the Iceme Qilin eximed as it looked at Yang Xiaotian, who was cultivating.


    In the past nearly hundred thousand years, the Martial Soul World had only one Divine Master¡ªthe Sect Hierarch Hong Feng of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    After Hong Feng, there had been no other Divine Master.<div>


    ¡°I truly wish to see the day when my lord bes the Divine Master,¡± the Azure Thunder Python also said with emotion.


    ¡°We should also cultivate. If we don¡¯t work harder, our lord might catch up with us very soon,¡± the Iceme Qilin said with a wry smile.


    The two beasts had witnessed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s growth with their own eyes.


    The speed of it was enough to make them tremble in awe.<div>


    After that, the two beasts began to cultivate on a nearby mountain peak as well.


    Time passed by.


    Yang Xiaotian immersed himself in cultivation within the True Dragon Secret Realm, voraciously absorbing the True Dragon Qi of the realm.


    After absorbing the True Dragon Qi, the two Supreme Martial Spirits shone even more brilliantly.


    Especially the ck Dragon Martial Spirit¡ªits horns grew longer and thicker, its scales became harder and more lustrous, and its dragon body grew visibly with each round, at a visible rate.


    Flowers bloomed and wilted.


    It was then the cold winter.


    Within the True Dragon Secret Realm, there was a cold spring where Yang Xiaotian would asionally take a leisurely swim during breaks from his cultivation.


    With the True Dragon Qi from the True Dragon Secret Realm, along with the continuous consumption of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill from the Thunder God Cave, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation level increased at a pace even faster than when he was in the Martial King Realm.


    Having just made a breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor level, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength grew with each day.


    From the Martial Ancestor¡¯s first level, he broke through to the second, third, fourth levels!


    He almost made a breakthrough every two months, reaching a minor realm.


    Before he knew it, nearly a year had gone by.<div>


    There were just a few days left before Yang Xiaotian would leave the True Dragon Secret Realm.


    When he entered the True Dragon Secret Realm, he was not yet eleven years old; now, he was almost twelve.


    Approaching twelve, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s height was nearly 1.6 meters.


    He was tall and straight, with a handsome appearance and an air of masculinity, especially his eyes, which were deep and charming, like the stars.


    As for his strength, he had already broken through to the pinnacle of the Martial Ancestor sixth level.


    Seeing that there were only a few days left before leaving the True Dragon Secret Realm and still yearning for the Myriad Dragons Divine me, Yang Xiaotian started his third search.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s disappointment, the third search ended without any trace of the Myriad Dragons Divine me.


    As the entrance of the True Dragon Secret Realm opened, Yang Xiaotian could only exit the realm.


    The members of the Yang Family waiting outside were overjoyed to greet Yang Xiaotian upon his emergence.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er was the first to rush up, vigorously waving her little pink hand.


    Just like a year ago, her braid was still swinging as she ran.


    However,pared to a year ago, her braid had grown much longer and Yang Ling¡¯er had also grown taller.


    ¡°Little girl.¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled, patting his sister¡¯s head.<div>


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying stepped forward, with Huang Ying saying with a smile, ¡°This little girl calctes every day how many more days until youe out of the True Dragon Secret Realm.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m still waiting for my brother to buy me candy.¡±


    ¡°Be careful not to turn into a plump youngdy if you keep eating like this,¡± Yang Xiaotian joked.


    Everyoneughed heartily.


    With that, everyone walked back to Heaven-Prating Peak amidstughter and joyful voices.


    On the way, Yang Ling¡¯er and Yang Xiaotian talked about Qingxuan.


    ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t know, a few days ago, sister-inw was bullied,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said indignantly, clenching her fists.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised; Qingxuan was a princess of the Divine Dragon Empire, who would dare to bully her?


    ¡°It was Guo Hong, the Crown Prince of the Four States Empire!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said angrily, ¡°You don¡¯t know how arrogant that Guo Hong has been while you were away these days.¡±


    It turned out that during Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation in the True Dragon Secret Realm, the Four States Empire had sent envoys to the Divine Dragon Empire.


    This time, Guo Hong, the Crown Prince of the Four States Empire, apanied the delegation to the Divine Dragon Empire and after entering the Empire, challenged disciples of the Martial Ancestor level with his own status as a Martial Ancestor.


    He even boasted that he would single-handedly challenge all the Martial Ancestors of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Upon hearing this, the talented disciples from all the Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire were infuriated and went to ept the challenge one after another.<div>


    However, even disciples from Supreme Sects like the Ancient Divine Sect, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and Mah¨¡ Divine Sect were no match for Guo Hong.


    Nobody could withstand his attacks more than three moves.


    Many couldn¡¯t evenst a single move.


    ¡°Guo Hong was invincible all the way through, and after arriving at the Imperial Capital, he became even more arrogant; he said that all the geniuses of our Divine Dragon Empire, including the descendants of the Divine Dragon Imperial n, were trash,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er continued, ¡°My sister-inw couldn¡¯t stand it and challenged him to a fight.¡±


    Without saying, Qingxuan ultimately lost.


    ¡°Was Qingxuan hurt?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Yang Ling¡¯er hemmed and hawed.


    Seeing his sister¡¯s expression, Yang Xiaotian felt a heaviness in his heart.

 Chapter 243: 243: Fist Bombardment of the Four Great Ancestors

    Chapter 243: Fist Bombardment of the Four Great Ancestors


    ¡°Qingxuan is severely injured?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in a deep voice.


    Yang Ling¡¯er shook her head, ¡°The injury is not that severe, after all, Guo Hong was somewhat restrained. However, during the fight with my sister-inw, he specifically targeted the front of her body.¡± At this point, Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s face was filled with anger, ¡°This Guo Hong is despicable.¡±


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian learned that Qingxuan¡¯s arm had been broken.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned cold.


    ¡°Father, mother, I¡¯m going to the Imperial Capital!¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, suppressing the towering rage in his heart.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying wanted to say something but stopped themselves.


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll go with you!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er clenched her little fists.


    ¡°No need, I can go by myself,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, shaking his head.


    Yang Ling¡¯er pouted and nodded.


    ¡°Brother, beat that Guo Hong into a pig¡¯s head,¡± she said indignantly.<div>


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied slowly, ¡°I will make him suffer the Asura Force a hundred times over.¡±


    Those who knew the terror of the Asura Force, like Luo Qing and others, all shook in their bellies.


    To withstand the Asura Force a hundred times, they could hardly imagine what the Crown Prince of Four States would look like after such torment.


    ¡°Xiaotian, be careful in everything,¡± Yang Chao couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry, I will return safely,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied. He then leaped onto the head of the ck Flood Dragon King and, riding it, shot up into the sky and vanished in the blink of an eye.


    Before entering the True Dragon Secret Realm, Yang Xiaotian had given thest Dragon Ball he obtained from the Green Sea Dragon Pce to the ck Flood Dragon King.


    That year, with the help of that Dragon Ball, the ck Flood Dragon King, who was already at the peak of King Beasts, finally evolved into a Divine Beast.


    The newly minted Divine Beast, with its breakthrough to the Saint Realm and its evolved speed, moved tens of times faster than before.


    It didn¡¯t take long for Yang Xiaotian to leave the True Dragon Divine Sect and head towards the Imperial Capital at an astonishing speed.


    No sooner had Yang Xiaotian and the ck Flood Dragon King left the True Dragon Divine Sect than their departure was known by various powers.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left the True Dragon Divine Sect, he was followed by four powerful presences.


    These four powerful presences were all of ancestral level.


    Soon, through the Iceme Qilin, Yang Xiaotian learned of the four strong forces trailing behind him.


    It seems there are quite a few who wish me dead, Yang Xiaotian sneered coldly.


    If that is the case, then today is a good day to practice the Asura Force.


    Once far enough away from the True Dragon Divine Sect and while passing through a deste mountain range, suddenly, one of the presences could not hold back any longer and made the first move against Yang Xiaotian.


    After a sh of cold light, a long sword instantly pierced towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    The speed of the sword was so fast it was astonishing, many times faster than the Shadow Night Demon, and evenpared with the King of Netherworld¡¯s de of Death, it was hardly inferior.


    Just as the long sword was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat, it suddenly stopped midair, unable to advance even half an inch further.<div>


    The one wielding the sword was a man in gray.


    He looked at this bizarre scene in shock.


    He was all too aware of the might of his sword just now; even many ancestors at the tenth level of the Saint Realm might not be able to withstand it.


    Yet, it waspletely blocked by an invisible force in front of Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Completely blocked.


    As he was still in shock, a sudden explosive crackling sounded above his head.


    He hastily looked up and saw a sky full of divine thunder crashing down on him. Utterly horrified, before he could retreat, the divine thunder had alreadypletely engulfed, submerged, and devoured him.


    From a distance, above the Nine Heavens, a sea of divine thunder formed and rumbled down, directly sting thete-stage peak ancestor at the tenth level of the Saint Realm into the depths of the earth.


    When the sea of thunder dissipated, all that could be seen was a terrifying deep pit in the barren ground.


    The pit covered dozens of miles, was bottomless, dark, and the residual energy of the divine thunder still continuously emerged from underground.


    This sight caused the three other masters lurking in the shadows to freeze in terror, with their hearts stopping and their hair standing on end.


    Behind Yang Xiaotian, unbeknownst to when, appeared a divine beast asrge as a mountain.


    Azure Thunder Python!


    Seeing this divine beast, the three of them nearly shuddered in terror.


    However, the three concealed in the shadows tensed up, clenched their teeth hard and didn¡¯t dare make any slight noise.


    Just when their fear reached the extreme, a cold voice suddenly rang out beside their ears, ¡°The three of you came here, could it be just to enjoy the scenery?¡±


    This voice, so abrupt, caused the three to practically jump out of their skins.<div>


    The trio swiftly turned around, only to see the Iceme Qilin standing behind them, its body emitting icy blue mes.


    Upon seeing the Iceme Qilin, the three were nearly scared half to death.


    ¡°Beast God!¡±


    One of them could no longer hold back, and blurted out with a trembling voice.


    However, what responded to him was the Iceme Qilin¡¯s huge w, sharp as a mountain.


    The giant w simultaneously covered the three of them.


    In their shock, they unleashed their full power in an attack.


    But they found that their attacks, when they smashed against the giant w, only sttered ice crystals everywhere.


    The Qilin¡¯s giant w couldn¡¯t be budged at all.


    Boom.


    The three felt their whole bodies jerk as they were struck by the Qilin¡¯s giant w and directly shot into the ground.


    The ground exploded open.


    A sandstorm reappeared.<div>


    The earth quaked, and distant mountains swayed, ready to copse.


    Yang Xiaotian looked coldly at the four who had been sted into the ground. He didn¡¯t ask which sects each of them was from but had the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin use a secret technique to temporarily seal the four¡¯s power before lifting them up.


    Looking at the four being lifted up, Yang Xiaotian executed Skywalking Thousand Swords to reach the four, and without a word, mmed a fist with Asura Force directly onto the belly of the first one.


    The first person felt as if his internal organs were beingcerated by thousands of knives, the pain so intense it distorted his face.


    The other three¡¯splexions changed upon seeing this.


    It¡¯s known that they were all at the tenth level of the Saint Realm; their internal organs were extremely durable, yet they were still in excruciating agony due to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force, indicating the terrifying nature of the technique.


    Yang Xiaotian went to the other three and also bestowed each a blow with Asura Force.


    The other three were all sted until their faces were twisted with pain.


    Watching four great ancestors of the tenth level of the Saint Realm being hung there by two Super Divine Beasts and then being methodically pounded by Yang Xiaotian, the ck Flood Dragon King felt his mouth dry and tongue scorched.


    These were ancestors of the tenth level of the Saint Realm. On a normal day, when no divine spirits appeared, they were akin to the mightiest beings under heaven, and now they were being beaten one by one by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists.


    Could there be anything more insane?


    After Yang Xiaotian pounded them once, he began with the first one again, pounding for the second time.


    However, it had been quite some days since he hadst used Asura Force, and he was somewhat rusty.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian swiftly finished the second round, then went on to the third and the fourth.


    After the fourth round, when the four great ancestors of the tenth level of the Saint Realm looked at Yang Xiaotian again, what they had on their faces was real fear.


    Every time the Asura Force pounded into their bodies, thecerating power kept swirling inside their internal organs. The more they were struck, the stronger thecerating force became.


    Even if they were ancestors of the Saint Realm, after being pounded four times, they all felt as if they had entered hell and were enduring the torment of a thousand cuts.


    So, when Yang Xiaotian prepared to strike for the fifth time, the first ancestor, out of sheer terror, trembled all over and hoarsely said, ¡°I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk, we were sent by the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡±


    Sky-Stepping Sect!


    Hearing that the other party was sent by the Sky-Stepping Sect, Yang Xiaotian punched with Asura Force once more, mming into the opponent¡¯s belly.


    The sound was like that of a beating drum.

 Chapter 244: 244: Crown Prince of Four States

    Chapter 244: Crown Prince of Four States


    The Elder at thete stage of the tenthyer of the Saint Realm was in so much pain that he couldn¡¯t speak.


    He opened his mouth, trying to say, he had already dered he was from the Sky-Stepping Sect, yet you¡¯re still bombing?


    Yang Xiaotian came to the second Elder.


    The second Elder¡¯s face was deathly pale, and he quivered, ¡°I was sent by the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.¡±


    Subduing Dragon Sword Sect!


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian threw another punch.


    The sound was still like thunder.


    The other two Elders were so scared that their hearts almost leaped out of their chests.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the two without any expression on his face, then unleashed the Asura Force on each in turn.


    After Yang Xiaotian unleashed ten waves of Asura Force, the faces of the four Elders at the tenthyer of the Saint Realm had all turned multi-colored.<div>


    The four individuals were from the Sky-Stepping Sect, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, Ancient Divine Pce, and Mahak Divine Sect, respectively.


    Yang Xiaotian was not surprised that the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Ancient Divine Pce sent people to kill him, but he was surprised that the Mahak Divine Sect also sent someone.


    After all, he had no significant conflict with the Mahak Divine Sect.


    Could it be that the Mahak Divine Sect had already found out that Chen Lingyun, Zhang Hao, and the other two were killed by him?


    Yang Xiaotian watched coldly as the four were ravaged by the Asura Force.


    The Elder sent by the Sky-Stepping Sect at the pinnacle of the tenthyer of the Saint Realm was named the Barefoot Elder Demon.


    This man was both righteous and evil, famous for many years, and a figure that struck terror into the hearts of experts from all sects. It was unexpected that he was now employed by the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    From the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, they had sent the Master of Assassin Tower, Tian Zhengyi, ate stage Saint Realm expert who ranked second on the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s list of assassins, just below the King of Netherworld.


    It was unexpected that the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, just to kill him, had hired Tian Zhengyi to do the job.


    Assassin Tower had immense influence. As the Master of Assassin Tower, Tian Zhengyi hadn¡¯t taken action himself in many years, but each of his moves came with an exorbitant price.


    The ones sent by the Ancient Divine Pce and the Mahak Divine Sect to kill him were known as the Thousand Snakes Sword Master and the Blood Prison deman, both of whom were feared figures.


    The Thousand Snakes Sword Master was the current Manor Lord¡¯s Elder Ancestor from the Thousand Snakes Manor, while the Blood Prison deman was a loner, his de techniques were incredibly sophisticated, and the very sight of his de brought forth a blood prison.


    Both were mid-stage powerhouses of the tenthyer of the Saint Realm. Their strength may not be as great as the Barefoot Elder Demon and Tian Zhengyi, the Master of Assassin Tower, but they were nheless formidable.


    After all, the Elder Ancestor Jiu Wu from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect was only at the initial peak of the tenthyer of the Saint Realm.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to unleash the eleventh wave of Asura Force, the Barefoot Elder Demon pleaded with a crying tone, ¡°Please, stop bombing, okay?¡±


    Okay?


    Looking at the Barefoot Elder Demon¡¯s tearful plea, Tian Zhengyi, the Thousand Snakes Sword Master, and the Blood Prison deman all simrly begged with a crying tone for Yang Xiaotian to stop bombing them.


    ¡°If you keep bombing us, we¡¯ll die,¡± the Barefoot Elder Demon said with a trembling voice. ¡°We¡¯ll really die.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took out an Elixir and said, ¡°This is a Control Elixir that I refined. Swallow it.¡±<div>


    The Barefoot Elder Demon looked at the Elixir in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, his face changed, and he hesitated.


    Seeing the hesitation, Yang Xiaotian directly unleashed another Asura Force blow.


    The Barefoot Elder Demon was in so much pain that tears streamed from his eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian then looked at Tian Zhengyi.<div>


    Tian Zhengyi¡¯s face underwent a drastic change, and he dared not hesitate, ¡°I am willing.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian threw the Elixir to him, and Tian Zhengyi swallowed it without hesitation.


    Subsequently, the Thousand Snakes Sword Master and the Blood Prison deman each swallowed the Elixir one by one.


    Atst, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell once again on the Barefoot Elder Demon, his eyes filled with murderous intent.


    The Barefoot Elder Demon, not daring to hesitate again, swallowed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Elixir.


    Of course, the four of them submitted to Yang Xiaotian not just out of fear of the devastation wrought by the Asura Force, but also because of the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    Who were the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python? They were two Super Divine Beasts!


    These were beings even the Sky-Stepping Sect and those from the Imperial Capital would be wary of, and yet now they were willing to follow Yang Xiaotian.


    It was for this reason that the four also willingly submitted to Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing the four submit, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression eased slightly.


    Then he took out four ck battle robes for the four to wear and had them put on ghost-faced masks, following behind him as they continued flying towards the Imperial Capital.


    In their flight to the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian learned from the four that the Barefoot Elder Demon had not submitted to the Sky-Stepping Sect. He had met with the Sky-Stepping Sect Master Lin Yu a few times, and thetter had found him and promised him a great treasure to enlist his services.


    The Thousand Snakes Sword Master and the Blood Prison deman had also agreed to take action only after receiving great treasures from the Ancient Divine Pce and the Maha Divine Sect.<div>


    ¡°Young Master, rest assured, I will return the item to the Sky-Stepping Sect when the timees,¡± the Barefoot Elder Demon quickly assured. ¡°After that, I will cut all ties with the Sky-Stepping Sect and have no further rtions with them.¡±


    Tian Zhengyi, the Thousand Snakes Sword Master, and the Blood Prison deman also quickly assured him.


    The night was tranquil.


    It was already evening.


    Yang Xiaotian did not stop to rest, but continued riding the ck Flood Dragon King, leading the four Great Ancients towards the Imperial Capital.


    Earlier, the four Great Ancients had been tortured by the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python and were seriously injured. On the way, Yang Xiaotian gave each of the four a few drops of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Looking at the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, they immediately felt that even if they were tortured several times by the Asura Force, it was worth it.


    After swallowing a few drops of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, it was like they had taken some sort of ultimate remedy. Soon, their waists no longer ached, their legs stopped hurting, they walked with vigor, and even their stomach pain disappeared.


    Quickly, their injuries hadrgely healed.


    The sky grew lighter.


    As Yang Xiaotian neared the Imperial Capital, riding the ck Flood Dragon King with the four Great Ancients, inside the Imperial Capital, Guo Hong was leisurely chewing on a Spirit Fruit, leading his subordinates to the Green Lotus Tavern out of sheer boredom.


    Seeing Guo Hong lead his subordinates to the Green Lotus Tavern for drinks and merriment, Wu You, a disciple of Wang Zhou, hurried over with arge group of Empire Alchemy Hall experts from the opposite end of the street.


    Arriving in front of Guo Hong, Wu You bowed, smiling ingratiatingly: ¡°I am Wu You, Senior Executor of the Divine Dragon Empire Alchemy Hall. My teacher is the Great Elder Wang Zhou, the next Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall. Knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince requires the supreme Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, he specially sent me to deliver ten pills to His Highness.¡±<div>


    Guo Hong lifted his eyelids slightly, signaling his subordinates to ept them: ¡°Wang Zhou, is it? I¡¯ve noted it. Anything else?¡±


    Still bowing with a smile, Wu You continued: ¡°Your Highness, you wanted to challenge a Martial Ancestor disciple of our nation, but could not find a suitable opponent. Perhaps there is one person in whom Your Highness might be interested.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± asked Guo Hong casually, continuing his walk towards the Green Lotus Tavern.


    Wu You followed behind and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    At the mention, Guo Hong smirked: ¡°The one reputed to have condensed a Divine Elixir? I know him. A year ago, he just broke through the Martial Ancestor Realm, right? Seems he was cultivating in the True Dragon Secret Realm?¡±


    Seeing that Guo Hong didn¡¯t take Yang Xiaotian seriously, Wu You hurriedly said: ¡°Your Highness might not be aware, but Yang Xiaotian has already emerged from the True Dragon Secret Realm. I received information that he seems to be rushing towards the Imperial Capital.¡±


    ¡°His rtionship with Princess Qingxuan is not shallow. He is most likelying for Your Highness.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Guo Hongughed: ¡°If he¡¯s reallying for me, that¡¯s suicidal! Then, I¡¯ll crush him to death!¡±


    Wu You immediately added: ¡°Your Highness should not underestimate him. Yang Xiaotian previously purchased the sixfold Tribtion Thunder Water. If he cultivates with the aid of the Tribtion Thunder Water and True Dragon Qi, his current cultivation level is likely not weak. Moreover, he has condensed a Divine Elixir.¡±


    Guo Hong said with disdain: ¡°What of the Divine Elixir? He¡¯s just an eleventh-level Martial Soul. I can break both his legs with just one hand!¡±

 Chapter 245: 245: In My Eyes, He’s Just a Tuft of Hair

    Chapter 245: In My Eyes, He¡¯s Just a Tuft of Hair


    No wonder Guo Hong was so confident.


    Ever since he entered the Divine Dragon Empire, even the peak of the Martial Ancestor¡¯s tenthyer could hardly withstand a single move from him!


    Let alone Yang Xiaotian, who had just stepped into the Martial Ancestor Realm a year ago?


    Seeing this, Wu You attempted to speak again, but Guo Hong, impatient, said, ¡°Enough, don¡¯t disturb my pleasure of drinking.¡± Then he led arge group of followers into the Green Lotus Tavern.


    Wu You could only swallow back his words.


    An hourter.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Imperial Capital, the sky had already brightened.


    He retracted the ck Flood Dragon King and entered the Imperial Capital.


    Dressed in a ck battle robe and wearing a ghost-faced mask, the Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, and three others followed behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Because the Barefoot Elder Demon and his group were wearing ghost-faced masks, they were stopped by the city gate guards upon entering the Imperial Capital. However, when Yang Xiaotian presented Qingxuan¡¯s Heavenly Dragon Pendant, all the city gate guards prostrated themselves on the ground.<div>


    Strong figures from various Sects passing by could not help but nce sideways.


    Only after Yang Xiaotian and the Barefoot Elder Demon had left far behind did these city gate guards dare to rise to their feet.


    ¡°Who is he? Could he be the son of some high-ranking minister?¡± Seeing the city gate guards prostrated, a Sect Disciple asked in amazement as he watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian,¡± a Sect Elder said solemnly.


    The Sect Disciple took a sharp breath, ¡°The Youth Martial God! Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°He is also the Youth Medicine God!¡± the Sect Elder said reverently, watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure.


    Since the Empire¡¯s Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian had been known as the Youth Medicine God.


    After the True Dragon examination, Yang Xiaotian acquired another title, Youth Martial God!


    Combine the titles of Youth Medicine God and Youth Martial Soul, and he is known as Divine Yang!


    He was also the only youth in the Divine Dragon Empire to be called divine by the strong figures of the various Sects!


    ¡°So that¡¯s Divine Yang!¡± A disciple, informed of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, even bowed excitedly toward Yang Xiaotian, with eyes filled with fervent adoration.


    Mustering Divine me, he refined Profound Level Elixirs within the Martial King Realm!


    Forming the unique Divine Elixir of all ages, either achievement alone was enough to make numerous Sect Disciples in the Divine Dragon Empire worship Yang Xiaotian fanatically.


    ¡°That is Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang Young Master!¡±


    Quickly, the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival in the Imperial Capital spread, instantly creating a sensation throughout the city.


    As Yang Xiaotian walked down the streets, Sect Disciples and family Disciples bowed deeply and shouted excitedly.


    Some, like the previous disciples, even knelt down in their excitement.


    Several female disciples, upon learning of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, also ran out excitedly from courtyards and pavilions.<div>


    ¡°Divine Yang! Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s so handsome.¡±


    ¡°Absolutely dashing!¡±


    ¡°Cute in a dashing way.¡±<div>


    The female disciples excitedly shed tears of admiration.


    ¡°Divine Yang, I love you!¡± Even some female disciples started to call out, just like Qingxuan, coquettishly chanting.


    ¡°Divine Yang, we love you!¡± One female disciple after another became bold, cing their hands on their cherry lips and shouting vigorously.


    The Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, and the other three never expected Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival to cause such a sensation in the Imperial Capital, or to drive the various Sects and family disciples to such madness.


    Only then did they truly appreciate Yang Xiaotian¡¯s status in the hearts of all the disciples in their Divine Dragon Empire.


    Feeling the excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd around Yang Xiaotian, they were drenched in cold sweat, ovee with a deep sense of guilt. Thankfully, they hadn¡¯t gone through with killing Yang Xiaotian, for if they had, they would have be the eternal sinners of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Even Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected that the disciples from the various sects would be so agitated.


    ¡°Everyone, please stand up.¡± Looking at the disciples who were excitedly kneeling down, Yang Xiaotian spoke and then exerted a force to lift everyone up.


    ¡°Divine Yang is so handsome.¡± This move elicited even more screams from the female disciples.


    Approaching his twelfth year, with a handsome appearance, and considering his legendary deeds, to these female disciples, every move he made was deemed handsome.


    Hearing those female disciples scream, Yang Xiaotian sweated.


    At that moment, Guo Hong was enjoying his drinks at the Green Lotus Tavern, drinking merrily when suddenly, he heard amotion outside. Many disciples were eagerly making their way out, prompting his curiosity.


    ¡°Find out what¡¯s going on,¡± Guo Hong instructed his subordinate.<div>


    Soon, his subordinate returned and reported: ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Guo Hong straightened up.


    ¡°Yes, Yang Xiaotian has arrived at the Imperial Capital. His arrival has caused a stir and excitement among the disciples of the major sects in the Imperial Capital. The many disciples who just left the tavern went to see him,¡± his subordinate said bowing.


    Upon hearing this, Guo Hong¡¯s brow furrowed; he hadn¡¯t expected Yang Xiaotian to have such high renown in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Hearing the excited shouts of ¡°Divine Yang¡± outside, Guo Hong mmed his wine cup into the table and stood up, saying coldly, ¡°A Divine Elixir? Let¡¯s go out and meet this Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    He then walked out of the tavern with a group of his followers.


    Wu You, who was outside, saw this and also followed with his own group of followers.


    In the courtyard behind the Green Lotus Tavern, Li Qianqian and Gu Shaozong were busy studying Alchemy techniques when they suddenly heard the excited shouts for Divine Yang outside, causing them to pause.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Gu Shaozong¡¯s face was as dark as water.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go out and see,¡± Li Qianqian said in a grave tone.


    For over a year, the two had been studying Alchemy techniques day and night, aiming to improve their Alchemy Level, all with the goal of one day defeating Yang Xiaotian.


    Especially Gu Shaozong, who had always been looking for an opportunity topete again with Yang Xiaotian in Alchemy.


    So, the two left the Green Lotus Tavern.<div>


    When they got outside, they saw numerous disciples rushing forward in the streets.


    The two also followed the crowd and moved forward.


    Seeing the excited expressions of the crowd, Gu Shaozong¡¯s face grew even darker.


    Meanwhile, as Yang Xiaotian was moving forward, Guo Hong approached from the other end of the street with arge group of followers.


    With a host of masters from the Four States Empire behind him, Guo Hong stood out in the crowd, and Yang Xiaotian could see himing from afar.


    Guo Hong, too, had spotted Yang Xiaotian from a distance.


    ¡°Young Master, those are people from the Four States Empire,¡± said Tian Zhengyi, the master of Assassin Tower.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze sharpened. Given that they were from the Four States Empire, the identity of the approaching youth was clear.


    At fifteen or sixteen years old and tall in stature, Guo Hong quickly approached Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian,¡± Guo Hong regarded him with an almost condescending gaze, his hand fluttering a jade fan picked up from some cave dwelling.


    ¡°Guo Hong,¡± replied Yang Xiaotian calmly.


    ¡°How audacious!¡± rebuked a master from the Emperor Realm who was following Guo Hong. ¡°In the presence of our Crown Prince, you don¡¯t show respect and yet dare to address our Crown Prince by his name!¡±


    ¡°Crown Prince?¡± Yang Xiaotian responded coldly. ¡°He may be the Crown Prince of your Four States Empire, not ours, of the Divine Dragon Empire. In my eyes, he is nothing but a tuft of hair.¡±<div>


    A tuft of hair?


    The people of the Divine Dragon Empire turned to look at the shiny tuft of hair on Guo Hong¡¯s head, and could not helpughing out loud.


    Hearing their Crown Prince referred to as a tuft of hair by Yang Xiaotian, the masters from the Four States Empire were furious and drew their swords one after another.

 Chapter 246: 246: Can’t Even Take One Punch From Me

    Chapter 246: Can¡¯t Even Take One Punch From Me


    ¡°`


    Just as the elites of the Four States Empire were about to make their move, Guo Hong reached out his hand, halting them all.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ve heard you¡¯re called the Young Martial God in the Divine Dragon Empire,¡± Guo Hong looked at Yang Xiaotian arrogantly. ¡°Do you think you, with a Level Eleven Martial Soul, are also qualified to be called the Young Martial God?¡±


    ¡°In my eyes, no matter what kind of Godhood you¡¯ve condensed, a Level Eleven Martial Soul is nothing butplete garbage.¡±


    ¡°Since I¡¯ve set foot in the Divine Dragon Empire, not a single Martial Ancestor has been able to withstand three of my moves!¡±


    ¡°I just wonder if you can withstand my three moves!¡±


    Guo Hong¡¯s voice was full of mockery and ridicule.


    Hearing Guo Hong¡¯s mockery, everyone from the Divine Dragon Empire red with fury.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward, approaching Guo Hong. ¡°Make your move. Later, I will hit you with Asura Force a hundred times.¡±


    A hundred times Asura Force?<div>


    Guo Hong looked puzzled, as he had clearly never heard of Asura Force.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian ept the challenge, his smile bloomed. ¡°Yang Xiaotian, have you thought this through? Are you really willing to take my three moves?¡± He then added, ¡°You¡¯ve only recently broken through to Martial Ancestor. If you¡¯re afraid to take my three moves, no one willugh at you!¡±


    ¡°If you, esteemed as a Young Martial God, ept the challenge and can¡¯t withstand my three moves, and I beat you until you¡¯re rolling on the ground, that would really be hrious.¡±


    Guo Hong¡¯sughter echoed.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained expressionless as he approached Guo Hong.


    Guo Hong, seeing this, did not rush to attack, but also walked towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as he was a few meters away from Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, Guo Hong lunged forward with a burst of speed andunched a fierce punch at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, his eyes fierce: ¡°Thousandfold Fury Fist!¡±


    The Thousandfold Fury Fist, one of the most powerful Supreme Divine Powers of the Four States Empire.


    Once mastered to the level of Summit Mastery, a punch thrown could invoke the Power of Water in the surrounding space, transforming into a thousandfold huge wave, smashing towards the enemy.


    Moreover, the power of the thousandfold waves became increasingly terrifying as theypounded.


    With the short distance and Guo Hong¡¯s sudden attack, everyone¡¯s heart leaped to their throats. Some family¡¯s female disciples even involuntarily covered their eyes, fearing the sight of Yang Xiaotian being blown away.


    Boom!


    The Thousandfold Fury Fist, as expected, hit Yang Xiaotian squarely.


    The Power of Water invoked by the Thousandfold Fury Fistpletely submerged Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian took the full brunt of Guo Hong¡¯s Thousandfold Fury Fist.


    Seeing this, Guo Hongughed out loud: ¡°This is the Young Martial God? He can¡¯t even take one of my punches!¡±


    But as his words fell, he saw the Power of Water invoked by the Thousandfold Fury Fist suddenly scatter, and Yang Xiaotian stood in ce, unmoved.


    Guo Hong was stunned.


    The people of the Divine Dragon Empire immediately burst into cheers and shouts.<div>


    The family¡¯s female disciples, who were previously worried to death, were now excitedly blushing and screaming, ¡°Divine Yang! You¡¯re so strong!¡±


    That coquettish voice was even too much for Yang Xiaotian to bear.


    Guo Hong and the people of the Four States Empire looked at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.


    To know, since Guo Hong had entered the Divine Dragon Empire, not a single Martial Ancestor had been able to withstand a full-force strike of Guo Hong¡¯s Thousandfold Fury Fist.<div>


    Let alone stand there and take a hit from the Thousandfold Fury Fist head on.


    ¡°You!¡± Guo Hong looked at Yang Xiaotian with an ugly expression. ¡°Are you wearing the True Dragon Holy Armor?!¡±


    The True Dragon Divine Sect possessed a super Holy Artifact level True Dragon Holy Armor, which is one of the three strongest armors of the Divine Dragon Empire, providing invincible defense, indifferent to attacks from masters of the same realm.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian hadpletely taken his blow from the Thousandfold Fury Fist without harm, Guo Hong mistook that Yang Xiaotian was wearing the True Dragon Holy Armor.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian did not exin and directly unleashed an Asura Force st.


    With such speed, Guo Hong could not react in time.


    Thud!


    Like earlier when it struck the bellies of the Barefoot Elder Demon and hispanions, the sound was like a drumbeat.


    Guo Hong was sted away like a shrimp shot from a catapult.


    ¡°Crown Prince!¡± A Saint Realm elder of the Four States Empire saw Guo Hong flying and with a shocked expression, he hurriedly caught him.


    Even so, Guo Hong still spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face twisted in pain, unable to even speak.


    The Asura Force¡¯s slicing and gut-wrenching power incessantly ravaged his internal organs.<div>


    Seeing Guo Hong¡¯s face contorted with agony, the Barefoot Elder Demon and his associates all swallowed hard, dry throats tightening.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, how dare you harm the Crown Prince of my Four States Empire!¡± The Saint Realm elder who caught Guo Hong, upon seeing his agonized expression, could not help but explode with rage.


    At the same time, he fiercely struck out a palm towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Instantly, the wild power shook the space violently.


    The surrounding crowd was a mix of horror and anger, as Yang Xiaotian and Guo Hong¡¯s sparring was normal, yet a Saint Realm elder of the Four States Empire not only intervened but also publicly attacked Yang Xiaotian.


    For a Saint Realm elder to attack a Martial Ancestor, wasn¡¯t this utterly shameless?


    But just then, suddenly, an extraordinarily fierce Sword Qi cut through the air.


    Everyone saw the Four States Empire elder let out a wretched scream as they looked over to see his striking hand sever at the wrist and fall to the ground, blood sttering and staining the surrounding earth red.


    The crowd was stunned.


    The just-struck Four States Empire elder was at the early stages of the Saint Realm¡¯s ten levels.


    Yet a Saint Realm elder in the early stages of the ten levels had his hand sliced off with a single sword strike.


    Everyone turned their eyes toward the Barefoot Elder Demon beside Yang Xiaotian.


    It was the Barefoot Elder Demon who had made the move.<div>


    The Barefoot Elder Demon was watching the Four States Empire elder with an icy face.


    Only then did the crowd realize that the four individuals apanying Yang Xiaotian were not just for show.


    All were shocked beyond measure.


    To sever the hand of a Saint Realm early-tenth level elder with a single sword, what kind of strength was that?


    ¡°Who are you?!¡± The Four States Empire elder stared at the Barefoot Elder Demon, who wore a ghoul mask, both shocked and angry: ¡°Dare to meddle in the affairs of my Four States Empire, and we will annihte your Sect.¡±


    The Barefoot Elder Demon delivered a direct kick to the elder¡¯s face.


    Carried along with Guo Hong, the Four States Empire elder was sent flying by the kick, even causing many experts from the Four States Empire to be knocked away.


    When the Four States Empire elder crashed onto a distant street, his face was bloodied, and even his facial bones were shattered by the kick.


    It took a long time for him to get up from the ground, looking at the Barefoot Elder Demon with horror, no longer daring to say anything and preparing to leave with Guo Hong.


    ¡°Who said you could leave?¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly, ¡°Our match isn¡¯t over yet. I said I would unleash a hundred Asura Forces.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Guo Hong¡¯splexion changed.


    Initially, he did not know what Yang Xiaotian meant by Asura Force, but after thatst experience, he was utterly aware of the terror of the Asura Force mentioned by Yang Xiaotian.


    Just one had almost made him vomit his galldder, and he couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if he were to be sted a hundred times.<div>


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t push your luck!¡± Guo Hong yelled furiously, ¡°If anything happens to me, not only the True Dragon Divine Sect, even the Divine Dragon Imperial n won¡¯t be able to save you!¡±


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he suddenly unleashed another Asura Force.

 Chapter 247: 247: Bombed Beyond Recognition

    Chapter 247: Bombed Beyond Recognition


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s assault, Guo Hong, in his shock and anger, roared, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I refuse to believe that I, the Crown Prince of the Four States, can be defeated by you!¡±


    Having said this, he suddenly urged all the True Yuan within his body, unleashing the power of a Martial Ancestor of the tenthl pinnacleyer, which surged out like a tsunami.


    Meanwhile, a Golden Core appeared above his head.


    The Golden Core emitted a blood-red glow in all directions.


    What Guo Hong was condensing was precisely the Chi Blood Golden Core, one of the supreme-grade Golden Cores.


    Both were of supreme grade, but the Chi Blood Golden Core was even more formidable than the supreme-grade Golden Core that You Yi had condensed.


    A sword appeared in Guo Hong¡¯s hand, and under the frenzied urging of the Chi Blood Golden Core, the sword in his hand shed with a chilling light.


    ¡°Flying Dragon in the Sky!¡± He leaped up, soaring like a dragon, thrusting with his sword. The Sword Qi seemed to span endless space, aiming for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    The crimson light swallowed the heavens, the Sword Qi ethereal.


    Witnessing Guo Hong¡¯s strike, many of the Sect Elders around changed their expressions.<div>


    Flying Dragon in the Sky was the signature Divine Skill of the Flying Dragon Sword Saint.


    Who was the Flying Dragon Sword Saint?


    In terms of the Sword Dao, he was second only to the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    Watching the opponent¡¯s Flying Dragon thrust, Yang Xiaotian, however, paid no heed, his fist¡¯s force unchanging, continuing to hammer towards his opponent¡¯s belly.


    Thud!


    Guo Hong was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground in the distance, vomiting blood ceaselessly, his face wracked with agony.


    But just as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist struck Guo Hong, Guo Hong¡¯s Flying Dragon thrust also pierced Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    The crowd inevitably turned their gaze to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, only to see that where Guo Hong¡¯s long sword had struck, there wasn¡¯t even a mark.


    Only his clothes were slightly torn.


    Seeing this, everyone was shocked.


    Especially the Sect Elders who were aware of the might of the Flying Dragon in the Sky, they were deeply astonished.


    In the past, the Flying Dragon Sword Saint had swept through invincibles with the Flying Dragon in the Sky, with no equal in his domain, and even those of higher realm struggled to withstand his sword.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian remainedpletely unharmed.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s defenses were horrifying to such a degree.


    A year ago, during the True Dragon assessment, You Yi¡¯s efforts to utilize the power of five Sword Steles from the Sword Path couldn¡¯t even shake Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Dragon Tyrant Body.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian had now awakened nearly seven thousand True Essence Dragons. His True Dragon Tyrant Body had achieved Great Aplishment!


    No matter how powerful Guo Hong¡¯s Flying Dragon in the Sky thrust was, it could not breach the Great Aplishment of the True Dragon Tyrant Body.


    It was precisely because the True Dragon Tyrant Body had achieved Great Aplishment that Yang Xiaotian dared to withstand the strike head-on.


    Seeing that his Flying Dragon in the Sky thrust could not injure Yang Xiaotian, Guo Hong¡¯s face finally underwent a drastic change.<div>


    At that moment, he was ovee with despair and helplessness.


    He finally understood what it felt like when the Martial Ancestors of the Divine Dragon Empire couldn¡¯t withstand even one of his moves.


    Just then, Yang Xiaotianunched another punch.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you dare!¡± The experts of the Four States Empire shouted in anger, ready to take action.<div>


    However, just as the experts of the Four States Empire were about to take action, suddenly, innumerable Sword Qi descended.


    All the experts of the Four States Empire present were sent flying by the Sword Qi.


    Including the one who had just reached the early stages of the tenthyer of the Saint Realm.


    With one sword strike, dozens of experts from the Four States Empire were defeated.


    Witnessing this scene, even Li Qianqian and Gu Shaozong, among the crowd, felt a violent tremor in their hearts.


    Especially Li Qianqian, who looked in horror at the attacking Barefoot Elder Demon.


    The strength of this ck-d man wearing a ghost mask was so formidable, he was most likely as strong as her grandfather.


    This man was definitely not a high-ranking expert from the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    When did such a peerless powerhouse appear beside Yang Xiaotian?


    Thud!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s third punch sted onto Guo Hong¡¯s body.


    Guo Hong was sent rolling along the ground, flying out into the distance.


    Yang Xiaotian leapt forward, throwing another punch.<div>


    Guo Hong was sent rolling and flying once again.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fifth punch, sixth punch, seventh punch¡­


    As the onlookers witnessed Guo Hong, the Crown Prince of the Four States Empire, being sent rolling away by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s blows, one punch after another, they were so shocked that they couldn¡¯t find the words to speak for a long time.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± The experts of the Four States Empire had their eyes almost bursting from their sockets, roaring incessantly.


    With the continuous onught of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force, Guo Hong had long since been knocked unconscious.


    But whenever he fell unconscious, he would be awakened once more by the st of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force.


    Thus, he kept falling unconscious and being awakened over and over.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian had sted out a hundred cycles of Asura Force, Guo Hong had rolled all the way out of the Imperial Capital and crashed into the mountains beyond.


    People gazed at the Crown Prince of Four States, lying in a pile of broken stones in the depths of the mountains, and gasped in horror.


    Was this still a human being?


    He had been so devastated that he was unrecognizable as a person.


    Even the Barefoot Elder Demon and Tian Zhengyi¡¯s group of four couldn¡¯t help but show pity in their eyes as they looked at Guo Hong.


    Poor kid, out of all the people to provoke, he had to choose their young master.<div>


    In the crowd, Li Qianqian and Gu Shaozong trembled at the sight of Guo Hong¡¯s miserable state, and a deep fear welled up in their hearts.


    Initially, when they left the tavern, they had thought about challenging Yang Xiaotian to another alchemypetition, but now, even with a hundred guts, they wouldn¡¯t dare to challenge Yang Xiaotian again.


    After sting out a hundred cycles of Asura Force, Yang Xiaotian finally left with the Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, and the four others.


    It wasn¡¯t until Yang Xiaotian and his group had left far behind that the people of the Four States Empire managed to gather their courage and hurried to Guo Hong¡¯s side, digging the unrecognizable Guo Hong out of the pile of rocks.


    Seeing Guo Hong so devastated that he no longer resembled a human, the eyes of the Four States Empire¡¯s people were filled with tears.


    ¡°Your Majesty, we have failed you!¡± The early-stage Saint Realm Elder cried out to the heavens.


    Our Crown Prince has been so tragically devastated!


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Imperial Pce and met with Qingxuan, Long Lan, and the father of Qingxuan, Long Jiyi.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian had arrived, Qingxuan dashed out of the pce, and as soon as she saw Yang Xiaotian from a distance, she waved her hand and called out with joy, ¡°Brother Xiaotian!¡±


    Long Lan stepped forward, smiling at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You little rascal, making such a bigmotion as soon as you get to the Imperial Capital.¡±


    The news of Yang Xiaotian beating Guo Hong beyond recognition had already spread throughout the Imperial Capital.


    Afterward, Long Lan introduced Yang Xiaotian to Qingxuan¡¯s father, Long Jiyi.


    ¡°I¡¯ve had the honor of meeting Your Majesty,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a bow.<div>


    Long Jiyi nodded and smiled, ¡°I have long heard of your renown, Divine Yang. Seeing you today, indeed, you are a heroic youth.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat embarrassed by the praise.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, thank you,¡± said Qingxuan, holding Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand with delight.


    Clearly, she knew her Brother Xiaotian had learned she was bullied by Guo Hong and hade to take revenge for her.


    ¡°How are your injuries?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Qingxuan smiled sweetly upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s concern for her, ¡°I¡¯m already better.¡± She then waved her little arms for Yang Xiaotian to see and added, ¡°If I train for a few more years, Guo Hong will definitely be no match for me.¡±


    Thereafter, Long Lan and the others ushered Yang Xiaotian into the main hall, where a banquet had been prepared, and invited him to take his seat.


    Long Jiyi smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Qingxuan says the barbecue you cook is really delicious. Next time, I must have a good taste of it.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled, ¡°Qingxuan is just talking nonsense, it¡¯s just an ordinary barbecue.¡±


    Qingxuan crinkled her nose, ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense!¡±


    They allughed together.


    Come nightfall, Yang Xiaotian stayed in a pce arranged by Long Jiyi.


    However, Long Jiyi and Long Lan found themselves discussing the group of four, including the Barefoot Elder Demon who apanied Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 248: 248: Imprisoned in Prison Mountain for Ten Years?

    Chapter 248: Imprisoned in Prison Mountain for Ten Years?


    ¡°Those four individuals, what is your assessment?¡± Long Jiyi pondered as he asked.


    Long Lan contemted and said, ¡°The one who took action today, he should be in thete stage of the Saint Realm¡¯s tenth level,¡± referring to the Barefoot Elder Demon.


    Then he added, ¡°This person is definitely not Long Hao or Deng Hongqing.¡±


    However, within the entire True Dragon Divine Sect, only Long Hao and Deng Hongqing were above thete stage of the Saint Realm¡¯s tenth level.


    Long Jiyi, with a smile, said, ¡°This youngster, he is not simple at all.¡± Suddenly, he added, ¡°Do you think he really has just a level eleven Martial Soul?¡±


    Long Lan was taken aback. ¡°Do you mean to say that Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul has evolved to level twelve?¡±


    ¡°Both of his Twin Martial Spirits are capable of evolving, maybe they have already evolved to level twelve,¡± Long Jiyi spected.


    While Long Jiyi was specting that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul might have already evolved to level twelve, all sides were still shaken by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s crushing defeat of the Four States Crown Prince Guo Hong.


    The main hall of the Sky-Stepping Sect was once again filled with utter silence.


    Wu Peng still sat on the throne in the grand hall, where the various Elders of the Sky-Stepping Sect and the Sky-Stepping Sect Master Lin Yu were seated.<div>


    ¡°Who can tell me exactly what happened?¡± Wu Peng said with an extremely gloomy face, his voice containing a towering rage, ¡°It¡¯s been a year, why is Yang Xiaotian still alive and well?¡±


    A year ago, they had paid a hefty price to hire the Netherworld King, the number one assassin.


    But a year had passed, and Yang Xiaotian was still lively and kicking.


    Now, they had again paid a hefty price to hire the Barefoot Elder Demon to act, yet Yang Xiaotian was still enjoying life, relishing in the finest foods and drinks.


    Yang Xiaotian was still untouched.


    The various Elders of the Sky-Stepping Sect and Lin Yu, sensing the towering rage of Wu Peng, were all silent as cicadas in winter, with none daring to open their mouths.


    ¡°Have we still not made contact with the Netherworld King?¡± Wu Peng asked in fury.


    Thinking of the Netherworld King disappearing without a trace after taking their precious treasure, his anger intensified.


    ¡°Not yet,¡± Divine Spirit Ancestor Tang Hong replied, shaking his head. ¡°Since taking the Netherworld Bead a year ago, there has been no news of him.¡±


    ¡°He takes my Netherworld Bead but does not kill Yang Xiaotian; does the Netherworld King truly think my Sky-Stepping Sect would not dare to eradicate him?¡± An Elder burst out angrily.


    ¡°Could it be that something happened to the Netherworld King?¡± Tang Hong pondered aloud.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± said the hot-tempered Elder, shaking his head. ¡°The only ones who could kill the Netherworld King are Yang Zhengqing and Long Ancestor, but our people have said that they have never left the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s forbidden grounds.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, if Yang Zhengqing or Long Ancestor took action, themotion would undoubtedly be huge; it can¡¯t be that there was no disturbance.¡±


    This was also the puzzling issue for Wu Peng.


    ¡°Could it be that there is another Divine Spirit Realm master with Yang Xiaotian?¡± Sky-Stepping Sect Master Lin Yu suddenly suggested.


    Upon hearing this, Wu Peng immediately said, ¡°Impossible! We can count on our fingers the number of Divine Spirit Realm masters in the Divine Dragon Empire. Divine Spirit Realm masters are paramount; do you think they would serve a mere Martial Ancestor like Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    Silence fell upon the crowd.


    ¡°Investigate, find out who those four ghost-masked masters with Yang Xiaotian are,¡± Wu Peng¡¯s eyes flickered.


    ¡°Yes, Ancestor,¡± Lin Yu promptly responded with respect.<div>


    Meanwhile, the True Dragon Divine Sect was also in an uproar.


    Elder Deng Hongqing said angrily, ¡°Guo Hong is the Crown Prince of the Four States Empire, and among all the princes, he is the most beloved by the Four States Great Emperor. Now that Yang Xiaotian has acted so brazenly against the Four States Crown Prince, isn¡¯t this inviting trouble for our True Dragon Divine Sect?¡±


    Long Hao also said, ¡°The Four States Empire has already sent an envoy here, demanding that we give them an exnation.¡± Then he nced at Hu Nan and added, ¡°The Four States Empire wants us to cripple Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation and hand him over to be taken back to the Four States Empire.¡±


    Hu Nan swept a look over Deng Hongqing and Long Hao, ¡°Are the two Divine Spirit Ancestors suggesting that we should cripple Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation and then hand him over to be taken back to the Four States Empire?¡±<div>


    Deng Hongqing¡¯s expression was awkward as he said, ¡°That¡¯s not what I mean, either. However, as the Divine Child of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian has brutally beaten the Crown Prince of Four States and brought trouble upon our True Dragon Divine Sect. We should indeed punish him to some extent, by confining him to Prison Mountain for ten years.¡±


    The True Dragon Divine Sect has a Prison Mountain that is specifically used to detain sect disciples who havemitted offenses.


    However, only sect disciples who have made serious mistakes are confined to Prison Mountain.


    Within Prison Mountain, with its barren hills and treacherous waters, devoid of spiritual energy and rife with poisonous creatures, the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect turn pale at its very mention.


    Once, a core disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect who was confined to Prison Mountain for ten years came out mad and deranged.


    Now, Deng Hongqing was proposing to confine Yang Xiaotian to Prison Mountain for ten years.


    Hu Nan looked towards Long Hao, who remained silent.


    The other Divine Spirit Ancestors were also silent.


    Nevertheless, the wife of the Sect Master, Liu Ping, spoke up, ¡°I also believe that we need to more strictly control Yang Xiaotian. We can¡¯t let him continue to act recklessly. Besides, confining him to Prison Mountain might be good for tempering his disposition.¡±


    Hearing Liu Ping speak of confining Yang Xiaotian to Prison Mountain as a good thing for him, Hu Nan¡¯s face darkened and he stared at her, saying, ¡°Yang Xiaotian and Guo Hong were engaging in a normal sparring match. Guo Hong simplycked the skill and lost to Xiaotian. It¡¯sughable that the envoy even had the audacity to make demands at our True Dragon Divine Sect.¡±


    He continued, ¡°The Four States Empire has always been hostile to our Divine Dragon Empire, and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s great victory over the Crown Prince of Four States brings honor to our Divine Dragon Empire and to the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    ¡°Not only is Yang Xiaotian innocent, but he has also made a great contribution!¡±


    Then he ordered his Elders, ¡°Throw that envoy from the Four States Empire out.¡±<div>


    ¡­


    Yang Xiaotian stayed at the Imperial Pce for a few days before he returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    He couldn¡¯t possibly stay at the Imperial Pce forever.


    Moreover, he hadn¡¯t begun toprehend the Sword Path of the True Dragon Divine Sect. Upon his return, he nned to thoroughly challenge the Sword Path to see if he could use the power of the Sword Stele to condense his own Sword Intent.


    For sword cultivators, only by condensing their own Sword Intent can they be considered true swordsmen.


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Qingxuan was extremely reluctant to part with him and apanied him out of the Imperial Capital, lingering for a long time before she could bring herself to leave.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was returning to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Guo Hong and the experts from the Four States Empire also began their return to the Four States Empire.


    With round-the-clock treatment by the experts from the Four States Empire, Guo Hong¡¯s injuries had healed somewhat, but as he walked, he still hunched over, clutching his belly, unable to stand up straight.


    While hunched over, Guo Hong bellowed with fury, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, once I return, I vow to lead an army to annihte you and destroy the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    But as he spoke, his belly spasmed violently.


    ¡°When will my master return?¡± Guo Hong asked his subordinates.


    The master he referred to was none other than the Flying Dragon Sword Saint.


    ¡°The Flying Dragon Lord will return from the Divine Beast Mountain in half a year,¡± replied the elder of the Saint Realm hasteningly.<div>


    ¡°Half a year!¡± Guo Hong gritted his teeth, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ll let you live for half a year longer. Afterward, I¡¯ll punch you in the belly a thousand times!¡±


    ¡°I will st you to pieces, to smithereens, to ashes!¡±

 Chapter 249: 249 Comprehending the Sword Path

    Chapter 249: Comprehending the Sword Path


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Back at Heaven-Prating Peak, his sister Yang Ling¡¯er chattered non-stop, asking about the scene when Guo Hong was sted away and how Guo Hong¡¯s belly was now.


    Yang Xiaotian sweated, wondering why she cared so much about someone else¡¯s belly, but still smiled and said, ¡°That Guo Hong, for the next few months, will probably have to walk with a bent back.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s eyes bent into crescents withughter, ¡°You don¡¯t know, after you hammered Guo Hong¡¯s belly a hundred times, the news spread and the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect felt so relieved. Many even threw a huge celebratory banquet.¡±


    After entering the Divine Dragon Empire, Guo Hong mored to challenge all the Martial Ancestors of the Divine Dragon Empire alone, his arrogance inspiring hatred among the disciples of the entire Empire.


    Now that Yang Xiaotian had pummeled Guo Hong and the news had spread, not only the True Dragon Divine Sect disciples were cheering, but disciples from all sects in the Divine Dragon Empire were also jubnt.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled at this news.


    ¡°However, big brother, before you came back, an envoy from the Four States Empire had been sent here. That envoy from the Empire mored for the True Dragon Divine Sect to cripple your cultivation and then hand you over to them to take back to the Four States Empire,¡± said Yang Ling¡¯er indignantly.


    ¡°What is infuriating is that Deng Hongqing, Long Hao, and that Liu Ping all think you are a troublemaker for the True Dragon Divine Sect, saying they will imprison you in Prison Mountain for ten years as punishment!¡±<div>


    Ling¡¯er continued heatedly, ¡°That Liu Ping even said that imprisoning you in Prison Mountain is to temper your mind, iming it would be good for you.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded, unfazed.


    ¡°It was that Deng Hongqing who first brought it up, to lock you in Prison Mountain for ten years. Liu Ping agreed, and although Long Hao didn¡¯t speak up, he didn¡¯t object either,¡± said Yang Ling¡¯er.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Then he smiled and said, ¡°I brought back lots and lots of sweets for you from the Imperial Capital.¡±


    With that, he produced a Space Ring.


    Upon opening it, it was filled with all kinds of delicious candies, eliciting cheers from Yang Ling¡¯er.


    Nightfall.


    Yang Xiaotian stood against the wind atop the tall Heaven-Prating Stele, gazing toward the end of the night sky.


    At the end of the night skyy the direction of the Sword Path.


    This time, he did not have the Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, Thousand Snakes Sword Master, and the Blood Prison deman apany him back.


    Each of these four had massive forces under them. He had ordered them to use all their power to help him find the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Divine me, and Innate Fine Iron.


    With their influence, perhaps they could indeed find news about the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Divine me, and Innate Fine Iron.


    However, thinking of Deng Hongqing, Long Hao, and Liu Ping, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes grew cold.


    The darkness of night deepened.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed in his pce, practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.


    By now, he had awakened nearly seven thousand True Dragon Powers. He needed to strive to awaken ten thousand True Dragon Powers. As soon as he awakened ten thousand True Dragon Powers, not only would he grow dragon wings on his back, his True Dragon Tyrant Body would also evolve into the True Dragon Imperial Body.


    Then, his True Dragon body¡¯s defense would be even stronger.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian finished his cultivation, the sky was already bright.


    After enjoying the pastries prepared by his mother, Yang Xiaotian went with his sister Yang Ling¡¯er to the Sword Path.<div>


    Having joined the True Dragon Divine Sect for over a year, this was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s first visit to the Sword Path.


    Many True Dragon Divine Sect disciples gathered in front of the Sword Path, including Inner Sect Disciples, Core Disciples, and even Divine Sessor Disciples.


    ¡°Greetings to the Divine Son,¡± many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect hurriedly bowed in respect upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival.


    ¡°`<div>


    Hu Yue, You Yi, Zhu Miaomiao, Fang Shaoqiang, Huang Xin, Wang Yao, and several others were all present.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Hu Yue snorted coldly, and along with You Yi and the others, none showed a pleasant expression.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored Hu Yue and the others, proceeding straight to the beginning of the Sword Path.


    At the start of the Sword Path, there stood a ten-meter-tall Sword Stele.


    On the stele, there were no sword techniques, only a gigantic and ancient character for ¡°sword¡±.


    This character had been inscribed through the air using Sword Qi; it¡¯s just that no one knew who had inscribed it.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian standing in front of the first Sword Stele, Hu Yue spoke up, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, there¡¯s nothing remarkable about you condensing six of the Strongest Sword Hearts. Junior Brother You Yi has also condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, Junior Brother You Yi has alreadyprehended eight Sword Steles!¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother You Yi will definitely be the first Sword Dao Genius in our True Dragon Divine Sect to reach the end of the Sword Path.¡±


    Listening to Hu Yue¡¯s resentful and provocative words, Yang Xiaotian looked calmly at You Yi and said indifferently, ¡°Is that so.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s indifferent face,pletely disregarding him, You Yi¡¯s face darkened as he said angrily, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, just like me, you have only condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts. When ites to the Sword Dao, I might not lose to you!¡±


    Hearing You Yi say that he had condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts just like himself, Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°I have a Divine Elixir.¡±


    You Yi choked, his face turning red.<div>


    There was silence all around.


    After a long while, Hu Yue spoke again, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you dare topete with Junior Brother You Yi to see who canprehend the first ten Sword Steles the fastest?¡±


    The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect present all looked at Hu Yue with strange expressions.


    You Yi had alreadyprehended eight Sword Steles, and Yang Xiaotian had not even started with the first one. To propose such a contest was something only Hu Yue coulde up with.


    It was utterly shameless upon shameless.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Ling¡¯er couldn¡¯t hold back and said, ¡°Hu Yue, my brother hasn¡¯t even startedprehending the first Sword Stele, and You Yi has alreadyprehended the eighth. Only someone as shamelessly thick-skinned as you coulde up with such a contest.¡±


    Yet Hu Yue just snickered, ¡°What, are you scared?¡± Then he added, ¡°Scared? Then you shouldn¡¯t call yourself the Divine Son! Because, you simply don¡¯t qualify.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s not up to you to decide whether I qualify or not.¡± His gaze passed over the Sword Steles along the Sword Path,nding on the tenth stele, ¡°However, what if you lose?¡±


    You Yi stepped forward, with Sword Qi swirling around his body, ¡°If I lose, I will never use a sword again! If I use a sword, you may break my hands!¡±


    For a Sword Dao Genius to live without the use of a sword would be a fate worse than death.


    Hu Yue also stepped up, swearing solemnly, ¡°If Junior Brother You Yi loses, I too will never use a sword again, nor will I practice swordsmanship. Otherwise, you may break my hands.¡±


    ¡°Good!¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°If I lose, I too will never use a sword again, and will ask the Sect Master to revoke my status as the Divine Son.¡±


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian agreeing to the contest, Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s face changed as she almost cried out in worry, ¡°Brother! You¡ª!¡±<div>


    Given You Yi¡¯s speed ofprehension, it would take at most half a year to fullyprehend the tenth Sword Stele.


    Even if Yang Xiaotian had excellent talent in the Sword Dao, it would be impossible for him toprehend from the first to the tenth Sword Stele within half a year.


    In the past, the founding ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect had taken a year and a half to progress from the first to the tenth Sword Stele.


    Even her master, Hu Nan, known as the best Sword Dao talent in the True Dragon Divine Sect in a millennium, had taken over two years toprehend the first ten Sword Steles.

 Chapter 250: 250: Already Reached the 17th Sword Stele

    Chapter 250: Already Reached the 17th Sword Stele


    The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect shook their heads when they saw Yang Xiaotian agreed to the contest.


    Yang Xiaotian had condensed six Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, and his talent in Sword Dao was indeed against the heavens, but everyone thought it was impossible for him to fullyprehend the first ten Sword Steles in half a year.


    No one was optimistic about Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°If Divine Yang loses, wouldn¡¯t he be unable to use a sword in the future?¡± a Core Disciple worriedly said, ¡°Divine Yang has the potential of a Sword God; if he can¡¯t use a sword, how can he be a Sword God?¡±


    Many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect also thought of this problem and showed worried expressions.


    Yang Xiaotian originally had the potential to be a Sword God, but because of this bet, he might waste the opportunity to be a Sword God in the future, which was a great pity.


    Zhu Miaomiao, Fang Shaoqiang, Huang Xin, and Wang Yao saw Yang Xiaotian provoked by Hu Yue and actually epted the challenge; they were all secretly overjoyed.


    If he couldn¡¯t use a sword in the future, then Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent in the Sword Dao could be said to be wasted.


    Seeing his sister Yang Ling¡¯er so anxious she was almost crying, Yang Xiaotian consoled her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will win.¡±


    Hu Yue heard Yang Xiaotian saying he would win and let out a scoff with augh.<div>


    In fact, this trap had been set by them long ago.


    Her mother had predicted that Yang Xiaotian would definitelye toprehend the Sword Steles on the Sword Path after his return from the Imperial Capital.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, let¡¯s start.¡± You Yi didn¡¯t waste any words. Eight stele shadows appeared behind him, and then with a step, he walked unharmed past the first Sword Stele, and then the second Sword Stele.


    And continued until the eighth Sword Stele.


    Only those who hadprehended the Sword Steles would not be attacked by the power of the Sword Path¡¯s steles.


    Otherwise, as soon as one stepped onto the Sword Path, one would be bombarded by the power of the steles and unable to advance.


    You Yi went straight to the ninth Sword Stele and began toprehend it, causing everyone to look toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone wanted to see how Yang Xiaotian wouldprehend the first Sword Stele.


    ¡°Disciple brother You Yi took only three days toprehend the first Sword Stele; how many days will it take Divine Yang?¡± said one Core Disciple.


    ¡°Hard to say, hundreds of years ago there was a disciple with great talent in Sword Dao, his talent was no less than that of disciple brother You Yi, but he took a full five days toprehend the first Sword Stele,¡± another Core Disciple said shaking his head.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Dao talent was better than You Yi¡¯s, the time it might take him toprehend the first Sword Stele could be even longer.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Yang Xiaotian shone with golden light, and the Divine Elixir flew out of his body.


    When the Divine Elixir emerged, even though Yang Xiaotian suppressed its might with all his power, at the moment of its appearance, the earth shook and the mountains moved, and the surrounding disciples could not help but gasp and retreat in rm.


    When the light of the Divine Elixir blossomed, all the disciples saw that patterns resembling swords appeared on the surface of the Sword Path.


    Moreover, all the Sword Steles began to flutter with radiant sword lights.


    These sword lights interwoven with the patterns on the road formed a mysterious sword diagram in the air above the Sword Path.


    The disciples were dumbfounded.


    What was happening?


    For millions of years, the Sword Path had alwaysin there quietly; it was unheard of for it to react to someoneprehending the steles.<div>


    And now, patterns resembling swords had appeared!


    ¡°What is going on?!¡± Even Hu Yue was stunned.


    The previously distressed Yang Ling¡¯er also wore a look of astonishment, having never imagined her brother¡¯s Divine Elixir could cause such a major change in the Sword Path.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell on the first Sword Stele.<div>


    In his eyes, the sword characters on the stele began to change incessantly.


    Everyone saw that behind Yang Xiaotian, Sword Qi converged, and a shadow of a Sword Stele actually appeared.


    ¡°This is impossible!¡± cried out Hu Yue, Fang Shaoqiang, and others in disbelief.


    Forming the shadow of a Sword Stele meant that he had fullyprehended that stele.


    But Yang Xiaotian had just started toprehend the first Sword Stele, and it hadn¡¯t even been ten breaths.


    In less than ten breaths, he had fullyprehended the first Sword Stele!


    All the disciples and Yang Ling¡¯er were astonished.


    What in the world was going on?


    Even if her brother¡¯s Sword Dao talent was higher than You Yi¡¯s, how could heprehend the first Sword Stele so quickly?


    Could it be because of the power of the Divine Elixir?


    Yang Xiaotian passed the first Sword Stele and came before the second, beginning toprehend it.


    ¡°He must have just gotten lucky; I don¡¯t believe he canprehend the second Sword Stele that quickly either!¡± Hu Yue was somewhat hysterical.


    But just then, suddenly, Sword Qi surged behind Yang Xiaotian, and the shadow of the second Sword Stele condensed.<div>


    Seeing the shadow of the second Sword Stele behind Yang Xiaotian, Hu Yue¡¯s face turned pale.


    Yang Xiaotian continued on to the third Sword Stele.


    Then, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth!


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the ninth.


    Here, he was deep into the Sword Path.


    You Yi was in front of the ninth Sword Stele,prehending it, when he saw Sword Talismans emerge on the surface of the Sword Path. At this strange sight, he couldn¡¯t help but be distracted.


    When he regained his senses, he suddenly noticed someone walking up from behind. He focused his eyes, and it was as if he had seen a ghost: ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Afterward, he saw the eight Sword Stele shadows condensed behind Yang Xiaotian.


    You Yi¡¯s lips quivered, speaking incoherently: ¡°Eight Sword Steles!¡±


    How was this possible!


    He remembered he had only entered the Sword Path a short while ago.


    And Yang Xiaotian clearly hadn¡¯t walked the Sword Path before.


    But then he saw that within less than ten breaths after arriving at the ninth Sword Stele, Sword Qi condensed behind Yang Xiaotian again, and the ninth Sword Stele appeared.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian continued toward the tenth Sword Stele.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian continue toward the tenth Sword Stele, You Yi was dumbstruck,pletely forgetting why the flowers were so red.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the tenth Sword Stele, but he didn¡¯t stop there; he continued on to the eleventh.


    Whenever Yang Xiaotianprehended a Sword Stele, a glow from that Stele would appear in the sky above the Sword Path.


    ¡°The eleventh one now,¡± those outside the Sword Path remarked, seeing the glow of the Sword Steles emerge deep within the Sword Path, their faces in utter shock.


    ¡°How much time has he used?¡±


    ¡°It seems, less than a quarter of an hour!¡±


    Hu Yue looked at the glow of the Sword Steles lingering in the sky above the Sword Path, her face ashen.


    Her hand holding the sword trembled uncontrobly.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian hadprehended the eleventh Sword Stele, and then the twelfth, the thirteenth¡­


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian step by step moving toward the end of the Sword Path, everyone present was dumbfounded.


    ¡°He¡¯s not going to make it to the end of the Sword Path, is he?¡± a Core Disciple muttered in disbelief.


    ¡°Quick, report to the Sect Master!¡± A Core Disciple suddenly came to their senses and eximed excitedly.<div>


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current pace, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he reached the end of the Sword Path.


    If Yang Xiaotian truly made it to the end of the Sword Path, that would be an incredibly shocking event for the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    At the moment, Hu Nan was practicing a set of the Mandarin Duck Butterfly Swords with his wife Liu Ping, exchanging affectionate nces when a Steward came running in frantically: ¡°Sect Master, something terrible has happened; Divine Yang has begunprehending the Sword Path today.¡±


    Hearing this, Hu Nan gave the Steward an annoyed look. Was it necessary to report such a matter to him?


    ¡°He has alreadyprehended the seventeenth Sword Stele!¡± the Steward gasped.


    Hu Nan¡¯s hand shook, and the Mandarin Duck Sword almost pierced Liu Ping¡¯s ample chest.

 Chapter 251: 251 I, the Old Man, Do Have Great Insight

    Chapter 251: I, the Old Man, Do Have Great Insight


    Liu Ping¡¯s sword in her hand also trembled, nearly stabbing Hu Nan below.


    Hu Nan, however, stared at the steward reporting to him, his face filled with disbelief, ¡°What did you just say?¡±


    ¡°Sect Master, Divine Yang has been contemting the Sword Path today, and now he has already reached the seventeenth Sword Stele!¡± The steward said, so excited that he was fidgeting.


    The seventeenth Sword Stele!


    This time, Hu Nan was certain that what he had heard was real.


    He hadn¡¯t misheard because of the Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sword.


    ¡°Sect Master!¡± Seeing Hu Nan still in a daze, the steward couldn¡¯t help stamping his foot impatiently, ¡°Sect Master, Divine Yang is almost at the end of the Sword Path, if we don¡¯t hurry it will be toote.¡±


    The end of the Sword Path!


    Hu Nan jolted, then suddenly let out a long howl to the sky, ¡°Everyone get your asses to the Sword Path!¡±


    Before his words fell, he rushed out of the great hall, crazily charging toward the Sword Path.<div>


    Boom!


    In front of him, arge chunk was blown out of the recently repaired mountain peak.


    Hearing the massive rumble, True Dragon Divine Sect disciples hurried out one after another, all shocked upon seeing the sted piece of the mountain peak.


    ¡°The Sect Master isn¡¯t drunk again, is he?¡±


    ¡°I told you the Sect Master doesn¡¯t drink.¡±


    ¡°Was that the Sect Master¡¯s True Dragon Divine Technique going out of control again?¡±


    ¡°What did the Sect Master just say? All of you get your asses to the Sword Path!¡±


    All True Dragon Divine Sect disciples turned their gaze towards the Sword Path.


    At that moment, suddenly, at the end of the Sword Path, the eighteenth Sword Stele began to glow.


    When the eighteenth Sword Stele started to shine, all eighteen steles simultaneously emitted terrifying beams of Sword Qi.


    The Sword Qi of the entire Sword Path seemed to be boiling.


    Layers uponyers of Sword Qi sted into the sky.


    At that moment, all True Dragon Divine Sect disciples saw the terrifying surging Sword Qi.


    ¡°What is this!¡± eximed an Elder of the True Dragon Divine Sect, his face full of shock, ¡°Who has reached the end of the Sword Path! Who is it!¡±


    ¡°Quick, to the Sword Path!¡±


    One by one, the True Dragon Divine Sect Elders roared at their disciples.


    Leading the charge, they soared into the sky, rushing toward the Sword Path as if their lives depended on it.


    At this point, they finally understood that their Sect Master wasn¡¯t drunk, nor had his technique gone awry.


    They finally realized why their Sect Master had ordered everyone to get their asses to the Sword Path.<div>


    One after another, the Supreme Elders of the True Dragon Divine Sect madly rushed to the Sword Path.


    Those in seclusion, such as Deng Hongqing and Long Hao, were also startled by the Sword Qi that pierced the Nine Heavens from the Sword Path.


    ¡°Who is at the end of the Sword Path?!¡± Deng Hongqing excitedly grabbed a disciple by the arm.


    That disciple, staring at Deng Hongqing¡¯s face covered in age spots from such a close distance, was frightened.<div>


    Meanwhile, Li Zhengqing, who was also in seclusion in his cave, was startled by the Sword Qi and dashed out. When he saw the Sword Qi filling the Nine Heavens from the Sword Path, he was first struck with awe and then, roaring to the sky with tears andughter, eximed, ¡°My True Dragon Divine Sect finally has a disciple who has reached the end of the Sword Path!¡±


    He too, like a wolf, charged towards the Sword Path.


    From deep within the forbidden area, an Earth-Shaking Dragon Roar resonated as the enormous figure of the Tyrant Dragon reappeared, arriving at the Sword Path almost concurrently with Li Zhengqing.


    ¡°Elder Ancestor!¡± Upon seeing Li Zhengqing arrive, the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect present all knelt down in reverence.


    Li Zhengqing, emotionally, looked towards the end of the Sword Path, ¡°Who is at the end of the Sword Path?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Son!¡± an excited Core Disciple stepped forward to report.


    The Divine Son!


    Li Zhengqing burst into heartyughter, ¡°Excellent, excellent! I knew this old man has good judgment, Xiaotian, this kid, is indeed my precious treasure!¡±


    Many disciples almost keeled over.


    Li Zhengqing, stroking the few whiskers on his chin, continued with augh, ¡°Xiaotian has been with the True Dragon Divine Sect for less than two years, right? To traverse the entire Sword Path in just two years, what a monster! A super monster!¡±


    At that moment, one core disciple stepped forward and said, ¡°Ancient Ancestor, the Divine Son only startedprehending the Sword Path today.¡±


    Only began toprehend today? Li Zhengqing choked.


    Even the Tyrant Dragon lost its bnce, nearly falling from the sky.<div>


    The disciples below were startled into a state of fear and trembling.


    If the Dragon Ancestor Lord were to fall from such a height, his colossal dragon body could crush several people to death.


    At that moment, Hu Nan, Liu Ping, Long Hao, and Deng Hongqing also hurriedly arrived.


    The faces of Long Hao and Deng Hongqing were as pale as dead, salted fish.


    On their way here, they had already found out who stood at the end of the Sword Path.


    Because of this, the two men, originally overjoyed, were now utterly devoid of excitement, as if they had been doused in salted fish water from head to toe.


    ¡°Xiaotian has already reached the end of the Sword Path, and you, as the Sect Master, are only arriving now. What have you been doing?¡± Li Zhengqing, who had just choked, asked as soon as he saw Hu Nan arrive.


    Hu Nan had his own difficulties that he couldn¡¯t voice, he certainly couldn¡¯t say he had just been practicing the Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sword with his wife.


    The Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sword, also known as the Flirting Sword.


    ¡°Ancient Ancestor, it¡¯s because Xiaotian broke through the Sword Path too quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he went from the first Sword Stele to the seventeenth!¡± Hu Nan said with a bitter smile, ¡°I came as fast as I could, but by the time I was halfway here, Xiaotian had alreadyprehended the eighteenth Sword Stele!¡±


    ¡°In less than a quarter of an hour!¡± Li Zhengqing choked again.


    Up in the sky, the Tyrant Dragon wobbled precariously, bringing Hu Nan, Long Hao, and several others to squat in fright.


    Just now, upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian had only startedprehending the Sword Path today, Li Zhengqing felt as if he¡¯d been struck by a deer; now, knowing that Yang Xiaotian had started just a quarter of an hour ago, his heart was no longer struck by a deer, but was rather like a raging tiger.<div>


    As the people of True Dragon Divine Sect were gathering before the Sword Path, Yang Xiaotian stood at its end, with eighteen Sword Steles manifesting behind him, his whole body enveloped in Sword Qi.


    In front of himy a vast Sword Sea.


    A Sword Sea formed entirely out of Sword Qi.


    The Sword Sea seemed endless.


    asionally, sword spirits would leap out from the depths of the Sword Sea like fish.


    The sword spirits varied in size.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked by the vast Sword Sea before his eyes.


    However, what was strange was that such arge Sword Sea waspletely invisible from outside the Sword Path; this Sword Sea seemed to exist in another space altogether.


    Yang Xiaotian tried to walk into the Sword Sea.


    Under the protection of the eighteen Sword Steles¡¯ power, the Sword Qi of the Sword Sea did not attack Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian boldly moved deeper into the Sword Sea, and, using the Controlling Sword Technique passed down by the Medicine Cauldron, began to collect the sword spirits within the Sword Sea.


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s efforts, he finally captured four sword spirits from the Sword Sea.


    But after capturing the sword spirits, he did not leave; instead, he looked towards the end of the Sword Sea.<div>


    If the end of the Sword Path is the Sword Sea, then what lies at the end of the Sword Sea?


    He was eager to find out whaty at the end of the Sword Sea, so he continued to advance deeper into the Sword Sea.


    The Sword Sea was evenrger than he had imagined, and after walking for half a day, he still hadn¡¯t seen the end.


    A dayter, a huge pce appeared in his sight.


    This pce was sublime and naturally formed, radiating an indescribable mystery of Heaven and Earth, shrouded in divine splendor.


    Seeing the pce radiating with divine brilliance, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.


    Though he did not know whaty inside the pce, the building alone was a treasure beyond measure.


    Soon, he stood before the pce, whose gates were open. After ensuring there was no danger, he walked inside.


    Inside the pce, the air was filled with golden divine brilliance. As he entered, this divine light suddenly coalesced, forming a golden god!

 Chapter 252: 252 Lord of Azure God

    Chapter 252: Lord of Azure God


    This golden god was a hundred feet tall, his divine might towering, filling the entire Sword Sea Realm.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian with a gleam of joy, ¡°A million years have passed, and finally a Divine Elixir has arrived here!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart trembled.


    A million years!


    Could the Sword Path have existed a million years ago?


    From what the other party said, only those with a Divine Elixir could reach the end of the Sword Path?


    No wonder throughout these years, no one in the True Dragon Divine Sect had been able toprehend all the Sword Steles.


    But who was this person?


    Was the Sword Path left by him?


    ¡°Indeed, the Sword Path was left by me.¡± The Golden God seemed to have read Yang Xiaotian¡¯s thoughts and smiled, ¡°As for my identity, the people of your continent call me Azure God.¡±<div>


    Azure God!


    Yang Xiaotian was extremely shocked.


    The person before him was actually the Azure God!


    The lord of the Azure God Continent, Lord Azure God!


    He was also the only being on the Azure God Continent who had surpassed Divine Spirits in the past million years.


    A million years ago, with invincible power, Lord Azure God united the continent, and henceforth the continent was named the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°You are Lord Azure God!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in shock.


    The Golden God nodded with a smile, ¡°Correct, to be precise, I am a Divine Will left by Lord Azure God.¡±


    Divine Will!


    Legend had it that once one had surpassed Divine Spirits, they could separate their Divine Will to endure long within Heaven and Earth.


    It was unexpected that the Divine Will left by the Azure God a million years ago had not dissipated even now.


    ¡°Child, do you know why I left this Sword Path?¡± Azure God spoke.


    Yang Xiaotian had a vague guess at the reason.


    Azure God continued, ¡°In the Azure God Continent, I left the Heart of Azure God. The power of the eighteen Sword Steles on the Sword Path is the key to unlocking the secrets of the Heart of Azure God.¡±


    ¡°The Heart of Azure God?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    ¡°The Heart of Azure God, has almost condensed my life¡¯s power.¡± Azure God¡¯s voice became somewhat somber, ¡°I hope that you can inherit the power of my lifetimeter.¡±


    ¡°By then, continue to protect the Azure God Continent.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart was stirred.


    ¡°However, you are too weak right now, unable to inherit my Azure God¡¯s power,¡± Azure God said. ¡°To inherit my Azure God¡¯s power, you need five conditions, the first is the Divine Elixir, the second is to possess a million-year Soul Ring.¡±<div>


    A million-year Soul Ring?


    Yang Xiaotian broke into a cold sweat.


    To his knowledge, Sect Master Hu Nan of the True Dragon Divine Sect only had a ny-thousand-year Soul Ring. Even the most powerful ancient ancestor of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Wu Peng, had only a bit more than ny-thousand years on his Soul Ring.


    In the Divine Dragon Empire, no one had a Soul Ring that reached a hundred thousand years.<div>


    Let alone a two hundred¨Cthousand-year Soul Ring.


    As for a million-year Soul Ring, that was simply preposterous, wishful thinking.


    ¡°Lord Azure God, wouldn¡¯t a ny-thousand-year Soul Ring be enough?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired, swallowing hard.


    Azure God shook his head and said with conviction, ¡°No, it won¡¯t do!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian felt dejected.


    Just then, the entire Divine Pce suddenly began to shake violently.


    The Divine Will left by the Azure God also started to fade into translucency.


    Seeing that the Azure God¡¯s Divine Will was about to fade away, Yang Xiaotian urgently asked, ¡°Lord Azure God, what are the other three conditions?¡±


    ¡°The other three conditions,¡± Azure God¡¯s voice faded in and out, ¡°are to possess fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts.¡±


    Fourteen Sword Hearts of the strongest kind!


    Yang Xiaotian broke out in a sweat.


    Ten Sword Hearts of the strongest kind were already hard toe by in eons, but it would take fourteen to merge with the Heart of Azure God?


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian felt as if a million heavy horses were stampeding through his heart.<div>


    A million-year Soul Ring¡ªhe had no idea how to deal with that, let alone fourteen Sword Hearts of the strongest kind.


    However, there were still two more conditions. Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to ask what thest two conditions were, the divine consciousness of Azure God had be extremely faint, and the entire Divine Pce was shaking violently.


    Before the other party could disclose thest two conditions, the divine consciousnesspletely dissipated.


    The entire Divine Pce, supported by the divine consciousness, copsed thunderously.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the dissipating divine consciousness of Azure God and the Divine Pce, stood dumbfounded for a long time. With thest two conditions unknown, what was he to do when the time came? Moreover, Azure God had only told him that the power of the eighteen Sword Steles was the key to unlocking the secret treasure of the Heart of Azure God, but he hadn¡¯t told him where the secret treasure was located.


    He didn¡¯t even know where the secret treasure of the Heart of Azure God was, so where would he go to open it?


    Yang Xiaotian felt an urge to dig into the ground.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t dig, mainly because there was no ground nearby to dig.


    When Yang Xiaotian came out from the Sword Path, he saw that the area before it was packed with people; almost every disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect had arrived.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian emerge from the Sword Path, Li Zhengqing who had been looking forward to this moment, waved his hands excitedly and shouted, ¡°Xiaotian, my treasure.¡±


    The crowd copsed in unison.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the excessively joyful Li Zhengqing, quickly stepped forward and said with a sped fist, ¡°Ancestor.¡±


    Li Zhengqing, however, smiled solemnly and said, ¡°Xiaotian, from now on you can just call me Grandpa Li or Uncle Li.¡±<div>


    Uncle Li?


    Hu Nan¡¯s forehead throbbed with ck lines. Wouldn¡¯t that make his generation status even lower than Yang Xiaotian¡¯s?


    At this point, Li Zhengqing told Hu Nan, Long Hao, and the others, ¡°Alright, you all can go back. Xiaotian wille to my abode for a visit; the two of us need to have a little chat about family matters.¡±


    After speaking, he affectionately took Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and flew toward his private abode, as if afraid someone else would snatch Xiaotian away.


    ¡°Xiaotian, it must have been tiringprehending the Sword Stele,¡± said Li Zhengqing. ¡°I¡¯ll cook you some Dragon Ganoderma Soup in a bit; you really need to nourish yourself.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t be this hard on yourself next time. What would we do if you damaged your body? You¡¯re still growing, after all.¡±


    Listening to Li Zhengqing¡¯s continuous chatter, Hu Nan and the others didn¡¯t know what to say for a while.


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t beenprehending the Sword Stele for more than a quarter of an hour; he wasn¡¯t tired at all, to be honest.


    The disciples who had spent hundreds of years on the Sword Path¡ªthat¡¯s what being tired looked like.


    Hu Nan knew that the Dragon Ganoderma Li Zhengqing was talking about was something he had risked his life for in the past.


    Li Zhengqing pulled Yang Xiaotian into his abode and really took out that Dragon Ganoderma to cook. Then, the two of them, each with a bowl, drank the soup.


    Yang Xiaotian drank seven full bowls of it, his body so warm it was steaming and he was bursting with the need to urinate.


    It wasn¡¯t until nightfall that Yang Xiaotian managed to excuse himself and return to Heaven-Prating Peak.<div>


    As he was leaving, Li Zhengqing said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°One of these days, I¡¯ll go find another Dragon Ganoderma, and we can continue drinking.¡±


    Thinking about having to drink another seven full bowls, Yang Xiaotian nearly couldn¡¯t hold his dder any longer.


    Back at Heaven-Prating Peak, Yang Ling¡¯er, Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and the others were all joyfully surrounding Yang Xiaotian.


    It wasn¡¯t untilte into the night that everyone dispersed.


    Yang Xiaotian returned to his courtyard and summoned the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python, asking the two beasts about matters rting to Azure God.


    However, Azure God was a figure from a million years ago, too distant, and the two beasts also knew next to nothing about Azure God.


    After that, Yang Xiaotian discussed with the two beasts his intention to condense a million-year Soul Ring.


    The beasts were dumbstruck.


    ¡°A million years?!¡± The Iceme Qilin shook its head with a bitter smile, ¡°Young Master, I¡¯m afraid there are no million-year-old Soul Beasts in the Soul Beast Forest. Even if there were, Old Meng and I together wouldn¡¯t be a match for it. One flick of its finger could crush us a hundred times over.¡±


    A million-year-old Soul Beast, such an existence, had already transcended that of a Divine Spirit.


    If not, it was not far off.

 Chapter 253: 253 Innate Secret Realm

    Chapter 253: Innate Secret Realm


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian could only ask the Medicine Cauldron.


    Upon hearing this, the Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°You want me to take down a million-year-old Soul Beast? It¡¯s not impossible, but I need a hundred vials of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!


    A hundred vials!


    Listening to the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s outrageous demand, Yang Xiaotian felt an urge to strangle it.


    ¡°Master Ding, where am I supposed to find so much Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked unwillingly, ¡°How about ten vials?¡±


    However, the Medicine Cauldron shook its head and said, ¡°My old self¡¯s Divine Essence is severely damaged, and ten vials of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water simply won¡¯t suffice to kill anyone.¡± After a pause, it added, ¡°With ten vials, I could only beat a million-year-old Soul Beast half to death.¡±


    Half to death?


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    What use would he have for a half-dead million-year-old Soul Beast?<div>


    Useless.


    If he couldn¡¯t kill a million-year-old Soul Beast, his Martial Soul wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb the soul of the beast, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to condense a million-year Soul Ring.


    Knowing that he would definitely need a hundred vials of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian could only ask Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, and several others to make inquiries.


    ¡°However, to condense a million-year Soul Ring, one¡¯s Martial Soul has to be that of a Supreme King.¡± At this moment, the Medicine Cauldron spoke up, ¡°Although your Martial Soul is a fourteen-rank Supreme Martial Spirit, it has not yet evolved into the Supreme King.¡±


    So, before that, it must evolve into the Supreme King.


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned, never expecting that a Supreme King Martial Soul was needed.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t have a Supreme King Martial Soul, your Martial Soul simply won¡¯t be able to absorb the soul of a million-year-old Soul Beast,¡± the Medicine Cauldron exined. ¡°Otherwise, it will burst from the overload.¡±


    If the Martial Soul burst, the consequences could be anticipated.


    Without his Martial Soul, Yang Xiaotian would be a crippled person.


    Yang Xiaotian felt a chill run through his heart.


    ¡°Then, in Master Ding¡¯s estimation, how long would my normal cultivation take for my Martial Soul to evolve into a Supreme King Martial Soul?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°If you cultivate normally, it would take at least a hundred years to evolve into a Supreme King Martial Soul,¡± the Medicine Cauldron replied.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank, ¡°A hundred years!¡±


    By the time he evolved into a Supreme King Martial Soul a hundred yearster, the moment would long have passed.


    Previously, he thought his Martial Soul would quickly evolve into a Supreme King Martial Soul.


    Now he knew he was terribly wrong.


    ¡°Supreme King Martial Souls are extremely rare in the world; if it were so easy to evolve into a Supreme King Martial Soul, it wouldn¡¯t be a Supreme King,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron. ¡°However, if you continue to consume Tribtion Thunder Water daily for your cultivation, the time needed can be greatly reduced.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits lifted upon hearing these words, ¡°Master Ding, do you mean that Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water can speed up the evolution of Martial Souls?¡±


    ¡°Indeed,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron. ¡°If you have a constant supply of Triple Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, you could evolve into the Supreme King in about ten years or so.¡±<div>


    ¡°Ten years?¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Ten years was still too long for him.


    Given his current speed of cultivation, he could break through to the Martial Emperor Realm in just eight or nine months.


    Once he broke through to the Martial Emperor, he could begin condensing Soul Rings.<div>


    He couldn¡¯t possibly wait ten years to start condensing Soul Rings.


    ¡°If it were Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the speed of your Martial Soul¡¯s evolution could be further elerated,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron. ¡°With sixfold water, it should take about two to three years.¡±


    ¡°With Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, perhaps you could evolve into the Supreme King within a year.¡±


    Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian asked the Medicine Cauldron about some matters regarding the evolution of Martial Souls that he needed to pay attention to.


    The night was cold.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in the courtyard, contemting the matter of the Heart of Azure God.


    Though he didn¡¯t know thetter two conditions, what he needed to do now was to condense a million-year Soul Ring and cultivate the fourteen strongest Sword Hearts.


    Calming his mind, he sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, beginning to refine the four Innate Sword Spirits from the Sword Sea.


    While Yang Xiaotian was refining the Sword Spirits of the Sword Sea, news of hispletion of the Sword Path journey had also reached the ears of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    ¡°What, hepleted the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Sword Path in just one day?¡± Wu Peng was utterly shocked upon hearing the news.


    ¡°Yes, to be precise, it was in less than a quarter of an hour,¡± said Lin Yu, the Sky-Stepping Sect Master, with difficulty swallowing: ¡°Heprehended a Sword Stele in less than ten breaths.¡±


    All the other elders in the great hall were horrified.<div>


    ¡°Less than a quarter of an hour to reach the end of the Sword Path?¡±


    ¡°Less than ten breaths toprehend a Sword Stele!¡±


    To them, it was as if they were hearing something otherworldly.


    After his shock, Wu Peng¡¯s killing intent could no longer be restrained. His body rolled with blood-red mes, and even his eyes revealed red blood threads: ¡°This Yang Xiaotian must be killed at all costs!¡±


    For tens of thousands of years, no one had ever reached the end of the Sword Path of the True Dragon Divine Sect, but Yang Xiaotian did so in less than a quarter of an hour.


    It was simply astonishing.


    This clearly showed the horrific extent of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent.


    However, amidst their astonishment, the Divine Spirit Ancestor Tang Hong couldn¡¯t help but express his doubts, ¡°How can this Yang Xiaotian, with only level eleven Twin Martial Spirits, control Divine me? How can he condense a Divine Grade Golden Core? How can he reach the end of the Sword Path in less than a quarter of an hour?¡±


    ¡°I have also considered this question,¡± mused Lin Yu. ¡°Many experts in the Empire are now specting that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Twin Martial Spirits must have evolved to level twelve.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I suspect that he must have other secrets. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to control Divine me!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s hearts were greatly shaken.


    Wu Peng¡¯s expression was as dark as water as he issued a deadlymand to Lin Yu, ¡°Use every method possible to kill him before his breakthrough to Martial Emperor Realm!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Ancestor.¡±<div>


    After Lin Yu and a group from the Saint Realm had left, Wu Peng looked at the other eight Divine Spirit Realm elders in the great hall and said solemnly, ¡°Make sure you find the nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to repair the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword!¡±


    As long as the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword was repaired, they were confident about killing the Divine Dragon Ancestor of the Divine Dragon Imperial n.


    Then, they would rece the Divine Dragon Imperial n.


    ¡°I have already sent people to inquire in other Empires,¡± Tang Hong said. ¡°Do not worry, we will find it.¡±


    Half a month blinked past.


    Yang Xiaotian finallypletely refined the four sword spirits of the Sword Sea.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s delight, he had finally condensed the eighth Nine-Colored Sword Heart.


    Although it was only the eighth and far from the fourteen, it was, nevertheless, a step closer to the fourteen.


    And his cultivation had also broken through to thete stage of seventh level Martial Ancestor.


    Li Zhengqing¡¯s seven bowls of Dragon Ganoderma Soup were indispensable for advancing to thete stage of Martial Ancestor so swiftly.


    One day, Tian Zhengyi, the Master of Assassin Tower, came to see Yang Xiaotian, his face filled with excitement: ¡°Young Master, good news! Our Assassin Tower has discovered an Innate Secret Realm!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°An Innate Secret Realm?¡±


    The True Dragon Secret Realm of the True Dragon Divine Sect was one such Innate Secret Realm.<div>


    Generally speaking, such Innate Secret Realms contained numerous treasures.


    ¡°This Innate Secret Realm is particrly rich in innate tribtion energy; in the depths of the Secret Realm, there could be Tribtion Thunder Water,¡± said Tian Zhengyi excitedly. ¡°Moreover, we¡¯ve discovered the cave dwelling of the Medicine God Su Dan within this Innate Secret Realm.¡±


    Medicine God Su Dan, the only Pharmacist in the Divine Dragon Empire capable of refining Divine Level Elixirs.


    And to refine Divine Level Elixirs, one of the medicinal ingredients required is the sevenyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and above.


    His cave dwelling might just contain sevenyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and above.

 Chapter 254: 254: Yang Xiaotian, I Finally Found You

    Chapter 254: Yang Xiaotian, I Finally Found You


    Upon learning that the Innate Secret Realm housed the cave dwelling of the Medicine God Su Dan, Yang Xiaotian felt exhrated and asked, ¡°Where is this Innate Secret Realm?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s in Wind Thunder Valley, at the border between our Divine Dragon Empire and the Four States Empire.¡±


    Wind Thunder Valley!


    ¡°Take me there now!¡± Yang Xiaotian decided on the spot.


    The emergence of the Innate Secret Realm was a piece of news that probably couldn¡¯t be contained for long.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian bid farewell to his family, telling them he would be gone for a few days, and immediately left the True Dragon Divine Sect with Tian Zhengyi.


    After leaving the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Azure Thunder Python and stood directly on its back with Tian Zhengyi, speeding towards Wind Thunder Valley.


    Standing on the Azure Thunder Python, a Super Divine Beast, Tian Zhengyi¡¯s legs felt wobbly¡ªin fact, his whole body was quaking.


    ¡°Old Meng, at top speed!¡± Yang Xiaotian urged.


    At once, the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s body surged with lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that outstripped light itself.<div>


    Tian Zhengyi, frightened, clung to Yang Xiaotian.


    As the two men and one beast flew above the Nine Heavens, bracing against the storm and closing in on Wind Thunder Valley, Lin Yu of the Sky-Stepping Sect also learned of the birth of the Innate Secret Realm and hurriedly reported it to Wu Peng.


    Upon learning that the Innate Secret Realm contained the cultivation cave dwelling of the Medicine God Su Dan, and that it very likely possessed the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, Wu Peng was overjoyed.


    ¡°Ancestor, shall I personally make the trip?¡± Lin Yu asked.


    ¡°No!¡± Wu Peng shook his head, then said to Divine Spirit Ancestor Tang Hong and Chen Wenzhi, ¡°The two of you go personally and search with all your might for the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    ¡°If the Secret Realm truly contains the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, even if you¡¯re left with half your lives, you must bring it back to me!¡±


    ¡°Rest assured!¡± Tang Hong and Chen Wenzhi both nodded, and immediately tore through the sky, vanishing into the horizon.


    At the same time, the Four States Imperial Family and the Green Sea God Sect also received news of the Innate Secret Realm and sent experts to converge at Wind Thunder Valley.


    The representative from the Four States Imperial Family was none other than the Flying Dragon Sword Saint, along with Crown Prince Guo Hong and more than a dozen figures at the peak of the Saint Realm.


    Originally, the Flying Dragon Sword Saint had gone to Divine Beast Mountain and was not expected to return until half a yearter, but he had an immense stroke of luck there and broke through to the Demigod Realm, so he returned to the Four States Empire ahead of schedule.


    From the Green Sea God Sect came Sect Hierarch Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, Li Wanshou, and several others.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at Wind Thunder Valley, the sky had alreadypletely darkened.


    Come nightfall, Wind Thunder Valley roared with winds, the sky above the valley covered in ck clouds, with thunder booming and lightning shing incessantly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go in!¡± Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian immediately stepped into Wind Thunder Valley.


    He didn¡¯t employ the Primordial Dragon Art but allowed the fierce winds to buffet him.


    Soon, they saw the entrance to the Innate Secret Realm deep inside Wind Thunder Valley.


    The entrance was small, only big enough to let a few people pass through.


    The Azure Thunder Python assumed human form.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions had entered the entrance of the Secret Realm, a group of people rushed to Wind Thunder Valley from behind; it was Crown Prince Guo Hong of the Four States Empire and an assembly of experts led by the Flying Dragon Sword Saint.<div>


    From a distance, Guo Hong caught sight of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure and was taken aback, his hatred boiling over, ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Even though it was just a brief glimpse, he recognized Yang Xiaotian immediately.


    After a hundred bouts with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force, he would recognize him even if he turned to ashes.


    ¡°The Yang Xiaotian from the True Dragon Divine Sect?¡± The Flying Dragon Sword Saint immediately caught on.<div>


    However, by the time they reached the entrance to the Secret Realm and entered, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were nowhere to be seen.


    Guo Hong gnashed his teeth, ¡°He must be inside the Secret Realm!¡± He then scanned the Secret Realm space frantically, with a fierce look, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I didn¡¯t expect you toe too!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s like searching for a needle in a haystack, but this time, I¡¯m going to st you to death, pulverize you into mincemeat!¡±


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint mused, ¡°Yang Xiaotian must have alsoe for the Medicine God¡¯s Dwelling.¡± Then he led everyone towards the Medicine God¡¯s Dwelling.


    Guo Hong said to the Flying Dragon Sword Saint, ¡°Master, I want to kill that Yang Xiaotian with my own handster!¡±


    ¡°You can,¡± nodded the Flying Dragon Sword Saint.


    He had heard that Yang Xiaotian had a ghost-masked expert by his side, possibly in thete or even peak stage of the Saint Realm.


    Still, he was extremely confident in his own strength.


    Before his breakthrough to the Demigod Realm, he was already the first Saint of the Four States Empire.


    Now that he had broken through to the Demigod, he was capable of ying anyone at the peak of the Saint Realm.


    Even if all four ghost-masked experts by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side were at the peak of the Saint Realm, he was confident he could cleanly eliminate them.


    As the Flying Dragon Sword Saint and his group rushed towards the Medicine God¡¯s Dwelling at high speed, Zhao Xing of the Green Sea God Sect and Tang Hong of the Sky-Stepping Sect almost simultaneously arrived at the Innate Secret Realm.


    However, the Green Sea God Sect and the Sky-Stepping Sect were allied. They immediately joined forces and headed towards the Medicine God¡¯s Dwelling.<div>


    With Tian Zhengyi leading the way, Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python quickly came to the Medicine God¡¯s Dwelling.


    The gates of the Medicine God¡¯s Dwelling were tightly closed. Tian Zhengyi stepped forward, attempting to push the gates open, but found them immovable. Even when Tian Zhengyi harnessed his True Yuan and pushed with all his might, it was to no avail.


    Tian Zhengyi was shocked; he was in thete stage of the Saint Realm, and his strength could push a mountain aside, yet he couldn¡¯t budge this small iron gate.


    The Azure Thunder Python wanted to step forward and try opening it when Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°No need.¡± He then observed the runes on the gate and with a wave of his hand, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me flew out.


    Under the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, the runes on the gate produced mes, and the gate slowly opened.


    Yang Xiaotian led the two into the dwelling.


    The gates of the dwelling closed again.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian¡¯s party entered the dwelling, the people from the Four States Empire also came to the front of the dwelling. However, no matter what methods the people from the Four States Empire used, they couldn¡¯t open the gate.


    Eventually, the people from the Green Sea God Sect and the Sky-Stepping Sect arrived, and only with Tang Hong¡¯s Abnormal Fire power did they manage to open the gate.


    After entering the dwelling, the three groups separated to search.


    The space inside the dwelling was vast.


    Using his ability to discern the scent of medicinal herbs, Yang Xiaotian found Su Dan¡¯s Pill Refining Chamber.


    Inside the Pill Refining Chamber, there was a purple-gold cauldron, with various elixirs on the shelves around it.<div>


    Upon inspection, Yang Xiaotian found they were all Imperial Level Elixirs. He then opened Su Dan¡¯s Purple Gold Cauldron, only to find nothing inside.


    This greatly disappointed Yang Xiaotian.


    Originally, he had hoped that in Su Dan¡¯s Pill Refining Chamber, there would be at least Sacred Rank Medicine. With Sacred Rank Medicine, Old Bing would be able to breakthrough to the Divine Spirit Realm.


    He took all the Imperial Level Elixirs and the Purple Gold Cauldron with him.


    Afterward, he continued to search the other pces, finding only some Alchemy Secret Manuals, and nothing more.


    While Yang Xiaotian and his group were searching, a voice filled with boundless hatred resounded, ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked over to see Guo Hong, the Crown Prince of Four States, ring at him with murderous intent from a great distance.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ve finally found you!¡± Guo Hong cackled hideously, ¡°Soon, I¡¯m going to st you to death, st you until you die!¡± After speaking, he flew over with the Flying Dragon Sword Saint and others.


    Having not found Sacred Rank Medicine or Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian was feeling irritated. Seeing Guo Hong, he clenched his fists. Last time it was a hundred times, and this time, he would have to st a thousand times.

 Chapter 255: 255 Flying Dragon Sword Saint

    Chapter 255: Flying Dragon Sword Saint


    Guo Hong, along with the esteemed experts of the Four States Empire including the Flying Dragon Sword Saint, arrived in front of Yang Xiaotian,pletely encircling him and his twopanions.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you didn¡¯t expect to encounter me here, did you?¡± Guo Hong approached Yang Xiaotian with a face filled with intent to kill and smug satisfaction, ¡°These past days, I couldn¡¯t eat nor sleep, all thanks to you!¡±


    ¡°Every moment of every day, I think about tearing you to pieces!¡±


    ¡°I will st you until you can¡¯t take care of yourself, st you into an idiot!¡±


    Guo Hong roared, his expression growing more and more ferocious as he spoke.


    Since being sted a hundred times by Yang Xiaotian, the incident had spread throughout the Imperial Capital of the Four States Empire. Even the siblings he used to look down upon now greeted him with the phrase ¡°a hundred times¡± whenever they met.


    Now, the mere mention of ¡®a hundred times¡¯ drove him insane.


    Yang Xiaotian, facing Guo Hong¡¯s hideous expression, replied indifferently, ¡°Indeed, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here, but rest assured,st time was a hundred times, this time, I will st you a thousand times.¡±


    Hearing about ¡®a hundred times,¡¯ Guo Hong lost it. Pointing his long sword at Yang Xiaotian with madughter, he retorted, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you spout nonsense even as death approaches. That¡¯s my line; soon, I will st you a thousand times, and if that¡¯s not enough, I will st you two thousand times!¡±


    At that moment, the Flying Dragon Sword Saint stepped forward, thrusting his sword at both the Azure Thunder Python and Tian Zhengyi simultaneously.<div>


    This one sword strike was meant to kill, a matter of life and death.


    When the sword lunged, all defenses in the world seemed to shatter.


    It was inescapable, leaving no room to dodge or flee.


    As if no matter where you ran, you couldn¡¯t escape the reach of this sword¡¯s Sword Qi.


    Tian Zhengyi, the master of the Assassin Tower and ranked second on the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s assassin list, also grimaced at this sword strike.


    ¡°Flying Dragon Sword Saint!¡± He had never seen the Flying Dragon Sword Saint before, but instantly recognized who the man was at this one sword strike.


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint!


    He was considered the swordsman most likely to be the next Green Lotus Sword Deity among the surrounding nations.


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint was not only the foremost saint of the Four States Empire but also of the nations around, and even the top saint of the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s saint list couldn¡¯t withstand his sword.


    Decades ago, the top saint of the Divine Dragon Empire had crossed swords with him but was wounded by a single strike and fled in disgrace.


    Just as Tian Zhengyi was startlingly drawing his sword, suddenly, a hand reached out. The instant this hand appeared, the pervasive Sword Qi that had filled the sky vanished.


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint¡¯s sword was mped between two fingers.


    The sword seemed to be fixed in mid-air.


    The crowd from the Four States Empire was dumbstruck.


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint himself was particrly bbergasted, extremely confident in his sword, he couldn¡¯t believe it.


    He looked incredulously toward the middle-aged man beside Yang Xiaotian.


    Until now, he had not taken either the Azure Thunder Python or Tian Zhengyi seriously, but now, his expression slowly turned grave as he fixated on the Azure Thunder Python, ¡°Who might you be?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python let out a cold snort. An overwhelmingly powerful force traveled through the sword, shaking the Flying Dragon Sword Saint back repeatedly.


    Yang Xiaotian, still in search of saint-level Elixirs and Sevenfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, was toozy to entangle further and said, ¡°Kill them all.¡±<div>


    ¡°As youmand, Young Master,¡± the Azure Thunder Python replied respectfully.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian arrogantly order his subordinate to kill him, the Flying Dragon Sword Saint couldn¡¯t help butugh in rage. He was about to speak up when suddenly he saw the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s body surge with lightning as it transformed back to its original form.


    The ancient, mountain-sized original body of the Azure Thunder Python coiled in the high sky.


    Lightning enveloped everything within a hundred miles.<div>


    The tyrannical divine might was like an endless sea.


    Even the demi-god-like Flying Dragon Sword Saint felt suffocated by it.


    The Azure Thunder Python was a Super Divine Beast that had undergone a Bloodline Return to Ancestry, and its divine might was vast and astonishing. Many of those in the Saint Realm could not withstand it, let alone Guo Hong at the peak of the Martial Ancestor level.


    Guo Hong nearly rolled his eyes back.


    ¡°Beast God, Azure Thunder Python!¡± the Saint Realm ancestors of the Four States Empire eximed with trembling voices.


    Even the Flying Dragon Sword Saint, who had beenughing in rage just moments ago, now had his expression drastically changed.


    The middle-aged man before their eyes was actually the Azure Thunder Python in human form.


    How could the Azure Thunder Python be following Yang Xiaotian?


    Wasn¡¯t it said that the Azure Thunder Python had been tamed by that mysterious Lord Long?


    Lord Long!


    Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look at Yang Xiaotian with a shocked expression, ¡°You are Lord Long!¡±


    ¡°Indeed.¡± By this time, Yang Xiaotian had nothing more to hide. His entire body was shrouded in darkness, wearing the Dragon Head Mask.


    Guo Hong and the Saint Realm ancestors from the Four States Empire stared at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment.<div>


    Over a year ago, the Azure Thunder Python had undergone Bloodline Return to Ancestry, defeated the two Divine Spirit Ancestors of the Green Divine Sea Sect, and was tamed by the mysterious Lord Long. This news had shaken the Four States Empire tremendously.


    Throughout this past year, both the Four States Empire and the Divine Dragon Empire had been searching for the whereabouts of that mysterious Lord Long.


    That mysterious Lord Long was actually Yang Xiaotian from the True Dragon Divine Sect!


    The astonishment of Guo Hong and the others was soon overtaken by incredulity.


    Who could have imagined that Lord Long, the one who tamed the Beast God Azure Thunder Python, would be Yang Xiaotian!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold and fierce as he wielded the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword in his hand, striking with the ¡°Sword ying Four Directions,¡± and suddenly, Sword Qi surged in all directions.


    Guo Hong only saw a sh of Sword Qi before him and, before he could react, he was struck by the Heaven-Prating Sword Qi and sent flying.


    ¡°The Heaven-Prating Divine Sword!¡± The Flying Dragon Sword Saint instantly recognized the sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and was utterly shocked.


    But at that moment, a thunderous boom erupted from the Nine Heavens, and, looking up in surprise, he saw the skies filled with the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder plummeting down.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint roared in shock and anger as countless streams of Sword Qi sted skyward from his body.


    This Sword Qi, numbering in the tens of millions, shaped into giant Sword Dragons, confronting the skyful of Heavenly God thunders.


    The other Saint Realm ancestors of the Four States Empire also made their move, wielding their swords frantically.<div>


    The simultaneous action of over a dozen Saint Realm Tenth-Layer Ancestors was terrifying in power.


    The cataclysmic force, heading to shatter the heavens, seemed as if it aimed to st the Heavenly Capital itself apart.


    However, the heavenly thunder swiftly destroyed the Flying Dragon Sword Saint¡¯s Sword Dragons, engulfing them.


    If Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang, the two Divine Spirit Realm Ancestors of the Green Sea God Sect, couldn¡¯t withstand a single strike of the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder from the Azure Thunder Python, what chance did the Flying Dragon Sword Saint and these Saint Realm ancestors have?


    Even if the Flying Dragon Sword Saint and these Saint Realm ancestors were strong, they couldn¡¯t possibly be stronger than Liu Yong and Xie Weiqiang were back then.


    Moreover, in the year and more since then, the Azure Thunder Python had been absorbing True Dragon Qi in the True Dragon Secret Realm for cultivation, making its power even greater than before.


    Boom!


    Before the Flying Dragon Sword Saint and the Empire Ancestors could retreat, they were simultaneously sted away by the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder.


    It was as if ten thousand thunder nuclear bombs had detonated on the ground.


    All the Empire Ancestors of the Four States Empire were blown to countless pieces of flesh, with not a singleplete corpse left.


    Even the Flying Dragon Sword Saint was covered in blood, his body cracked all over, barely clinging to life.


    Although he had broken through to Demigod, in the end, he was only a Demigod and not a Divine Spirit.


    Seeing all the ancestors from the Four States Empire blown to pieces and the Flying Dragon Sword Saint lying there with barely a breath left, Guo Hong, who had been sent flying by the Heaven-Prating Sword Qi, was scared out of his wits.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian charged forward, followed by a punch imbued with Asura Force.

 Chapter 256: 256 Flying Dragon Elixir

    Chapter 256: Flying Dragon Elixir


    ¡°`


    Guo Hong was so terrified by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch imbued with Asura Force that he lost control of his bowels.


    Ever since he was struck a hundred times before, he developed an extreme fear of the Asura Force.


    That feeling was like the nightmare of his life.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face was expressionless as he threw the second punch.


    The third punch, the fourth punch¡­


    Yang Xiaotianunched punch after punch.


    The sound was like beating a drum.


    Tian Zhengyi, leader of Assassin Tower, stood in the distance, his face disying shock as he watched the nearly breathless Flying Dragon Sword Saint lying there and the old ancestors of the Four States Empire sted into a bloody mess.


    As the head of Assassin Tower, he had witnessed countless scenes of ughter, but still, he couldn¡¯t hide the shock in his heart.<div>


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint, known as the most powerful under the Divine Spirits, with swordsmanship that was so refined it was almost divine, and who even had the potential to be the second Green Lotus Sword Deity, nowy there with barely a breath left.


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint opened his mouth, trying to say something.


    In the end, before Yang Xiaotian had pounded him a thousand times, Crown Prince of Four States, Guo Hong, was already sted apart.


    Yang Xiaotian walked up to the Flying Dragon Sword Saint.


    ¡°The Imperial Family of the Four States will level the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± the Flying Dragon Sword Saint said with thest bit of his strength, his gaze determined.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heaven-Prating Divine Sword went straight into the center of the Flying Dragon Sword Saint¡¯s throat, ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary for you to worry about,¡± and then slowly pushed it in further.


    Blood kept bubbling out.


    The Flying Dragon Sword Saint red at Yang Xiaotian with dying eyes.


    He could never believe that he would die at the hands of a Martial Ancestor youngster.


    In the end, the would-be second Green Lotus Sword Deity, the Flying Dragon Sword Saint, ceased to move.


    Tian Zhengyi¡¯s mouth was dry and his tongue parched.


    Yang Xiaotian pulled out the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    Having drunk the blood of a demigod, the de of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword shed brighter, its sword light breathing incessantly.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned the Earth me and incinerated the bodies of the Flying Dragon Sword Saint and the others, erasing thempletely from this world.


    Yang Xiaotian took away the Flying Dragon Sword as well as the space rings of the people from the Four States Empire, and continued searching for Holy Pills and Seventh Layer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water with Tian Zhengyi and the Azure Thunder Python.


    Meanwhile, the people of Green Sea God Sect and Sky-Stepping Sect were trapped in some spatial restriction within the cave, unable to free themselves. They could only hear the earth-shattering roars outside but couldn¡¯t see what was happening.


    Yet, the sounds ceased quite quickly, leaving the people of Green Sea God Sect and Sky-Stepping Sect baffled.


    Yang Xiaotian searched every nook and cranny of the cave but couldn¡¯t find the Saint-level elixirs and Seventh Layer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water; in the end, he had no choice but to give up and leave the cave.


    However, he was not willing to leave just like that, so, taking Tian Zhengyi and the Azure Thunder Python, he continued deeper into the secret realm.<div>


    In this Innate Secret Realm, the thunder energy was so rich that there should be Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water deeper within.


    The secret realm was immense; even after flying for a whole day, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions still couldn¡¯t see the end.


    At this time, the thunder energy within the secret realm was so dense it was almost turning into water.


    Above in the high sky, thunder rumbled and lightning shed.<div>


    Countless Thunder Serpents swarmed densely.


    Even Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t dare to be careless, activating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The True Essence Dragon roared, forming a barrier of dragons.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions continued to move forward.


    But the deeper they went, the stronger the thunder energy became, and the Thunder Serpents in the sky grew bigger, almostparable to the Thunder Pythons.


    Even Tian Zhengyi felt chills down his spine looking at the Thunder Pythons in the sky.


    From time to time, Thunder Pythons crashed down from the sky.


    However, with the Azure Thunder Python present, those Thunder Pythons couldn¡¯t touch either of them.


    After another half day¡¯s journey, the Thunder Pythons in the sky had transformed into Thunder Dragons.


    These Thunder Dragons, when they struck down, were alreadyparable to many of the peak attacks of the Saint Realm.


    ¡°`


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s entire body surged with thunderous light, setting up a barrier of thunder, indifferent to the onught of Thunder Dragons mming against the barrier.


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡± Tian Zhengyi eximed excitedly as he looked ahead.<div>


    Ahead, the thunderous qi turned into water, droplet by droplet of thunderous qi condensed into water drops, hanging suspended in the air above.


    It was indeed ayer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!


    Seeing theyer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, a surge of tion filled Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart. Indeed, within the depths of the Secret Realmy Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Although it was just ayer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and there wasn¡¯t much, it still gave Yang Xiaotian a glimmer of hope.


    In the deepest part of the Secret Realm, there must be twoyers, or even three, four, fiveyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Perhaps there were even sevenyers.


    Yang Xiaotian took out a jade bottle, stepped forward, and carefully collected these droplets of singleyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Then, he continued to move forward.


    However, the deeper he went, the stronger the thunderous power in the high skies became. Countless Thunder Dragons rained down, and even the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s barrier of thunder showed signs of being shattered.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian had collected a few hundred droplets of doubleyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the Azure Thunder Python was unable to proceed further.


    Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to awaken Master Ding.


    Upon hearing that there was no battle involved, Master Ding dly protected Yang Xiaotian as they moved forward.


    A few days passed.<div>


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian reached the very end of the Secret Realm.


    At the very end of the Secret Realm was the sevenyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Although there weren¡¯t many, there were still several hundred droplets, which was enough for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul to evolve into the Supreme King.


    This provided Yang Xiaotian with some constion.


    As for the nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he would have to search for itter.


    Yang Xiaotian returned along the original path and, together with the Azure Thunder Python and Tian Zhengyi, left the Secret Realm.


    ¡°Young Master, if you¡¯re looking for holy-grade elixirs, the Sky-Stepping Sect, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and Ancient Divine Pce Treasury all have holy-grade elixirs,¡± said Tian Zhengyi on the way.


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, speechless. It¡¯s not like he could just assault their gates to rob them.


    After all, the ten Supreme Sects each had a Mountain Protection Divine Array.


    ¡°Actually, both the Four States Imperial Family and the Divine Dragon Imperial n have holy-grade elixirs,¡± Tian Zhengyi continued.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    That was even less likely.


    In the evening, Yang Xiaotian and the other two set up a bonfire on the slope to rest. Yang Xiaotian opened the Flying Dragon Sword Saint¡¯s Space Ring to see if there were any good items. He found a secret tome for making Flying Dragon Elixirs as well as many spirit stones and spiritual medicines.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian flipped through the Flying Dragon Elixir¡¯s secret tome with little interest.


    Atst, he found an elixir jade bottle in the Space Ring, opened it casually, and suddenly, a brilliant light soared into the sky and the fragrance of the elixir surged like an ocean.


    Inside the jade bottle was an elixir, with faint sounds of dragon chants. Dragon qi rose on the surface of the elixir.


    ¡°Flying Dragon Elixir!¡± Tian Zhengyi eximed in surprise.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished¡ªthe Flying Dragon Elixir!


    He had not expected to find a Flying Dragon Elixir inside the Flying Dragon Sword Saint¡¯s Space Ring.


    But then, Yang Xiaotian realized that this Flying Dragon Elixir had not been sessfully refined; it was only a half-finished product, which is why it had not taken form.


    Seeing that it was only a half-finished Flying Dragon Elixir, Yang Xiaotian felt disappointed.


    However, the Azure Thunder Python spoke up, ¡°Young Master, I have a Dragon Crystal. If this Flying Dragon Elixir is re-refined, it should be able to take shape.¡±


    ¡°However, re-refining such a half-finished elixir is even more difficult. To sessfully refine it, we would need the assistance of your Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire,¡± stated the Azure Thunder Python.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up and dered, ¡°Alright, I will use the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire to assist your alchemy!¡±


    Immediately, Yang Xiaotian brought out the Medicine Cauldron, summoned the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, and assisted the Azure Thunder Python.


    As the Divine Beast King, the Azure Thunder Python had cultivated for many years and thus had a naturally high alchemy level. Assisted by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, the fragrance of the elixir in the cauldron grew increasingly intense.


    Yet, just as the elixir was about to bepleted, several figures flew toward them from a distance¡ªit was Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, and Li Wanshou from the Green Sea God Sect.


    The group had been clearly attracted by the fragrance of the elixir.

 Chapter 257: 257: Annihilate the True Dragon Divine Sect Together

    Chapter 257: Annihte the True Dragon Divine Sect Together


    From afar, several people saw the saintly light soaring into the sky when the Flying Dragon Elixir was formed.


    Seeing that soaring saintly light and the shadow of the flying dragon, several people were thrilled.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Flying Dragon Elixir!¡± Du Zhen eximed excitedly.


    Zhao Xing alsoughed and said, ¡°It seems that our trip to the Secret Realm wasn¡¯t without gains!¡±


    This time, the members of the Green Sea God Sect who entered the Innate Secret Realm had searched for many days with no results, only finding some not yet fully grown Holy Medicine. They were not in high spirits when they left the Secret Realm, but now they were exceptionally delighted.


    To know, the Flying Dragon Elixir is one of the best Saint-level elixirs.


    A Flying Dragon Elixir is something you stumble upon but can hardly seek out intentionally.


    The group hastened their pace, flying towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s location.


    At this time, at the side of the campfire, the Azure Thunder Python, looking at the transformed Flying Dragon Elixir, smiled and said, ¡°Mission aplished, the elixir has formed atst!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had already put away the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and, looking at the Flying Dragon Elixir, he too smiled and said, ¡°With this Flying Dragon Elixir, Old Bing should be able to break through, right?¡±<div>


    Once Old Bing broke through to the Divine Spirit Realm, hisbat strength would be incredibly fierce.


    Just then, Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, and Li Wanshounded before Yang Xiaotian and others.


    Because Yang Xiaotian had worn the Dragon Head Mask earlier, Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, and Li Wanshou did not recognize him nor the Azure Thunder Python.


    After Zhao Xing and hispanions had arrived, they stared greedily at the Flying Dragon Elixir in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, with desire unabashedly in their eyes.


    ¡°Young brother, may I have a look at the elixir in your hand?¡± Du Zhen was the first to speak with a smile, ¡°I have quite some expertise in elixirs and can authenticate it for you.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, ¡°You want me to let you authenticate the elixir?¡±


    His words were just short of asking Yang Xiaotian to directly hand over the elixir to him.


    Du Zhenughed heartily, ¡°Yes, authenticate it for me.¡±


    Zhao Xing, Du Zhen, and Li Wanshou, although aware that the Azure Thunder Python and Tian Zhengyi were not simple, didn¡¯t take them seriously.


    After all, Zhao Xing and Du Zhen were both at the peak of the tenyer Saint Realm. Together, they could naturally sweep through the Saint Realm.


    ¡°And what if I don¡¯t?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    With a constant smile, Du Zhen replied, ¡°Don¡¯t? I¡¯m afraid that isn¡¯t up to you, young brother.¡± A sh of murderous intent in his eyes, he added, ¡°I advise you to hand over the elixir. It would be better for everyone.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°If you leave now, I can still let you go.¡± He then spoke in a slower tone, ¡°Otherwise, soon you won¡¯t be able to leave even if you want to.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Du Zhen, Zhao Xing, and Li Wanshou all scoffed.


    ¡°Boy, that¡¯s what I should be saying to you,¡± Du Zhenughed loudly. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, you don¡¯t need to leave anymore!¡± With that, he suddenly reached for the elixir in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    Simultaneously, Zhao Xing and Li Wanshou made their moves.


    Zhao Xing thrust his sword at the Azure Thunder Python.


    Li Wanshouunched a punch at Tian Zhengyi.


    Just as Du Zhen was about to grasp the elixir in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, suddenly, a hand blocked Du Zhen¡¯s path.<div>


    That hand, without any notable action, simply blocked lightly, but Du Zhen felt a soul-shaking, terrifying power surge at him like a flood, forcing him to retreat repeatedly and m into a mountain behind him, spitting blood.


    The other hand of the Azure Thunder Python directly grabbed Zhao Xing¡¯s long sword, gave it a shake, and Zhao Xing¡¯s sword was sent flying. Zhao Xing himself was thrown backward, continuously spitting blood.


    Li Wanshou¡¯s situation was no better; he was struck in the chest by Tian Zhengyi¡¯s sword and was sent flying, his chest nearly pierced through.


    Du Zhen, Zhao Xing, and Li Wanshou were all shocked and incredulous as they stared at the Azure Thunder Python.<div>


    ¡°Who are you?!¡± Du Zhen, not bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, asked in fear.


    His right arm waspletely numb, the bones shattered into over a dozen pieces.


    This made him even more frightened; with just a light block, he had been injured to the point of spitting blood, and his right arm was nearlypletely shattered.


    Moreover, their Sect Hierarch had also been sent flying with serious injuries.


    In a single move, two peak-level Saint Realm powerhouses were injured!


    While Du Zhen, Zhao Xing, and Li Wanshou were full of disbelief and doubt, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°Kill them all.¡±


    Kill them all!


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, Du Zhen, Zhao Xing, and Li Wanshou all felt a chill run down their spines.


    Just as Du Zhen was about to speak, suddenly, the Azure Thunder Python transformed into a bolt of lightning, arriving in front of Du Zhen in an instant.


    The Azure Thunder Python did not even reveal its true form, and instead threw a punch directly.


    With one punch, thousands of divine thunders roared forth like an apocalyptic flood, hammering towards Du Zhen.


    Du Zhen looked at the thousands of divine thunders like a flood of the apocalypse, horrified. He wanted to raise his fist to block the overwhelming divine thunder, but it was useless. He was instantly engulfed by the vast divine thunder.


    Simultaneously, the fist of the Azure Thunder Python pierced through the opponent¡¯s heart.<div>


    Du Zhen was sted away.


    When he hit the ground, his heart had already be a terrifying cavity.


    Spewing blood in great gouts, Du Zhen looked at the Azure Thunder Python with utmost terror, ¡°Divine Spirit!¡±


    And it was a Divine Spirit Powerhouse even more fearsome than the strongest Divine Spirit Ancestor of their Green Sea God Sect!


    Afterunching its punch, the Azure Thunder Python, in a sh of lightning, came again before Zhao Xing and Li Wanshou, both fists pounding once more.


    Zhao Xing and Li Wanshou retreated in terror, but how could they possibly outrun the Azure Thunder Python? In an instant, they were hit by its dual fists. Zhao Xing, like Du Zhen, had his chest shattered.


    Li Wanshou, on the other hand, was blown to pieces, turning into a rain of blood and flesh.


    Zhao Xing and Du Zheny on the ground, watching in horror as the Azure Thunder Python obliterated a tenyer Saint Realm with one punch¡ªan ordinary Divine Spirit Powerhouse couldn¡¯t possibly possess such terrifying strength.


    Who on earth was this middle-aged man?


    What terrified them even more was that such a horrifying Divine Spirit Powerhouse was taking orders from a young boy!


    Who exactly was this young boy?


    Even the Crown Princes of the great empires could notmand a Divine Spirit Powerhouse.


    ¡°Who are you? Who exactly are you?¡± Du Zhen asked tremulously.<div>


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s eyes were cold, and with a lift of its right hand, rollicking divine thunder from the Nine Heavens bombarded down towards Zhao Xing and Du Zhen.


    Seeing the familiar scene of countless divine thunders rolling down from the Nine Heavens, Zhao Xing and Du Zhen suddenly recalled a scene from over a year ago above the Green Sea.


    Their faces paled dramatically.


    All of a sudden, they understood the identity of this middle-aged man.


    But before they could speak, they were already engulfed and consumed by the countless divine thunders from the Nine Heavens.


    A thunderous boom!


    The ground trembled violently.


    The very earth seemed to have been peeled back in countlessyers.


    Dust soared into the sky as if the apocalypse had descended.


    The dust storm in the sky lingered for a long time before dissipating.


    Where Zhao Xing and Du Zheny, the ground had turned into a deep abyss.


    As for the two of them, they werepletely annihted under the force of the myriad godly thunders.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Yang Xiaotian with a nce at the abyss, leading the Azure Thunder Python and Tian Zhengyi to swiftly leave.<div>


    Now, he needed to find a deserted ce so that Old Bing could break through the Divine Spirit Realm.


    After all, Old Bing¡¯s breakthrough to the Divine Spirit Realm would be a major event.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian and hispanions left, Tang Hong and Chen Wenzhi of the Sky-Stepping Sect returned.


    Learning that Tang Hong and Chen Wenzhi had not found the nine-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Wu Peng¡¯s expression was not pleasant.


    ¡°Oh right, the Crown Prince of Four States mentioned that before us, he saw Yang Xiaotian enter the Innate Secret Realm,¡± said Tang Hong. ¡°Could it be that Yang Xiaotian had a head start and obtained the nine-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then Yang Xiaotian must die now!¡± Wu Peng said coldly.


    ¡°But if Yang Xiaotian is hiding in the True Dragon Divine Sect, there¡¯s nothing we can do,¡± Chen Wenzhi said.


    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s destroy the True Dragon Divine Sect as well,¡± Wu Peng uttered astonishingly.

 Chapter 258: 258: The Iceflame Kylin Transcends the Divine Tribulation

    Chapter 258: The Iceme Kylin Transcends the Divine Tribtion


    ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect has been destroyed?!¡± Tang Hong and Chen Wenzhi were both shocked.


    ¡°Indeed, the True Dragon Divine Sect has been destroyed!¡± Wu Peng said coldly.


    In fact, destroying the True Dragon Divine Sect had long been his n.


    Yang Xiaotian must die!


    However, with the True Dragon Divine Sect around, they were an impediment.


    Moreover, by destroying the True Dragon Divine Sect, we could kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!


    ¡°But the Mountain Protection Divine Array of the True Dragon Divine Sect is not weak!¡± Tang Hong frowned, ¡°And that Tyrant Dragon is a problem.¡±


    This issue was something he had already considered.


    If they wanted to destroy the True Dragon Divine Sect, the Sky-Stepping Sect would have to pay a huge price.


    Wu Peng, however, said indifferently, ¡°The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect has long wanted to destroy the True Dragon Divine Sect, and as far as I know, the Ancient Divine Pce and Mahayana Divine Sect also want to kill Yang Xiaotian!¡±<div>


    Wu Peng¡¯s intention was clear to Tang Hong, who understood that it meant forming an alliance with the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, Ancient Divine Pce, and Mahayana Divine Sect to annihte the True Dragon Divine Sect in one fell swoop.


    If so, the Sky-Stepping Sect could uproot the True Dragon Divine Sect at a small cost.


    ¡°You contact the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, Ancient Divine Pce, and Mahayana Divine Sect!¡± Wu Pengmanded gravely, ¡°Remember, this matter must be kept secret, not a word can be leaked!¡±


    ¡°And be quick, we leave in three days, at night!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡± Tang Hong nodded.


    At that moment, in a deste wilderness, the Iceme Qilin swallowed the Flying Dragon Elixir, its whole body enveloped in ice-blue mes that surged violently, exuding an awe-inspiring presence of a Divine Spirit that appeared and disappeared intermittently.


    High in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and amazing streaks of lightning spread out, as a force from the heavens pressed down, making even Tian Zhengyi feel a tightness in his breath.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian had reached the seventh pinnacle of Martial Ancestor, facing this Heavenly Might, he still felt suffocated.


    Knowing that the Iceme Qilin was about to face the Divine Tribtion, Yang Xiaotian, Tian Zhengyi, and the Azure Thunder Python all withdrew a great distance.


    Tian Zhengyi stared tensely at the Tribtion Thunder that continuously gathered in the high sky, his heart pounding.


    Although he was the master of Assassin Tower, this was his first time witnessing someone else¡¯s Divine Tribtion.


    Although Yang Xiaotian had seen the Azure Thunder Python pass the Divine Tribtion, at this moment, his palms were sweating with nervousness.


    ¡°Old Bing is facing the sixth series of Divine Tribtions, right?¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and asked.


    The Azure Thunder Python, as a Divine Beast, faced a triple Divine Tribtion.


    And the Iceme Qilin, being a Super Divine Beast, was supposed to face a sixfold Divine Tribtion.


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s expression was grave, ¡°It is the sixfold Divine Tribtion!¡±


    ¡°How does itpare to your threefold Divine Tribtion?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s probably ten times stronger!¡± said the Azure Thunder Python solemnly.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.<div>


    He vividly remembered the terrifying force of the Tribtion Thunder that the Azure Thunder Python had faced during the triple Divine Tribtion; if it were to be ten times stronger, how horrifying that would be!


    Could Old Bing make it through?


    If he couldn¡¯t, he would be reduced to ashes.


    Suddenly, a loud sizzling sound echoed.<div>


    The Tribtion Thunder that had been condensing in the sky above suddenly struck down at the Iceme Qilin.


    The light of the Tribtion Thunder illuminated the entire wilderness.


    However, just as the Tribtion Thunder was about to hit the Iceme Qilin, suddenly, the Iceme Qilin opened its eyes, lifted its mountainous paw directly, and struck upwards.


    Boom!


    The terrifying power contained within the Tribtion Thunder was blown away by a single blow from the Iceme Qilin¡¯s paw.


    Countless bolts of lightning exploded in all directions.


    Thend shook violently.


    Yang Xiaotian was stunned; he hadn¡¯t expected that the Iceme Qilin would use its paw to st away the firstyer of the Divine Tribtion.


    Then, the secondyer of Tribtion Thunder fell from the high sky.


    The second wave of Tribtion Thunder was even more terrifying than the first, unexpectedly it was purple.


    ¡°Purple Dawn Divine Thunder!¡± Tian Zhengyi eximed with a face filled with fear.


    Purple Dawn Divine Thunder, indeed a dreadfully fearsome type of divine lightning, containing not only the power of divine thunder, but also the force of purple fire.


    The might of the purple fire was so terrifying that even some Divine Spirit Powerhouses would change color when facing it.<div>


    However, the Iceme Qilin still raised its paw and directly shattered it.


    Then came the third, fourth, and fifth waves of Divine Tribtion Thunder, all of which it smashed directly with its bare paws.


    Seeing the Iceme Qilin not even using a Divine Artifact, but instead directly destroying the first five waves of Divine Tribtion Thunder with its bare paws, Yang Xiaotian, Tian Zhengyi, and the Azure Thunder Python were all shocked.


    ¡°Old Bing is just too fierce, fiercer than words can describe,¡± Yang Xiaotian could not help but praise sincerely.


    The Azure Thunder Python alsomented, ¡°Old Bing is a born Super Divine Beast, who has always been cultivating toughly by absorbing the underground fire essence at the bottom of Volcano, his foundation is far more solid than mine.¡±


    When he underwent his threeyers of Divine Tribtion, he had to use two Divine Artifacts and was nearly sted to death.


    Yet there stood another, whose bare dragon ws alone had finished off the first five waves of Divine Tribtion Thunder, the gap between them was not small.


    It really is, ¡®beasts are alwayspared with beasts, angering others to death.¡¯


    ¡°Only thest wave of Divine Tribtion Thunder remains, I wonder if Old Bing can make it through,¡± Yang Xiaotian became nervous.


    Although the Iceme Qilin easily got through the first five waves of Divine Tribtion Thunder, thest wave was definitely the strongest and most terrifying, many at the peak of the Saint Realm who tried to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm often failed because they didn¡¯t get through thest wave.


    The Azure Thunder Python and Tian Zhengyi were both extremely tense as well.


    Boom!


    Above the firmament, a myriad of Thunder Dragons suddenly thundered down, the Tribtion Thunder turned out to be ck, so ck it caused palpitations.<div>


    Even the Azure Thunder Python saw the ck thunder for the first time, and his expression changed drastically when he saw the sixth wave of Divine Tribtion Thunder, ¡°It¡¯s the Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder!¡±


    Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder, which is ten times more powerful and terrifying than the Purple Dawn Divine Thunder.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank too.


    He did not expect that thest wave of Divine Tribtion Thunder for the Iceme Qilin would be the Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder.


    He had read records stating that if faced with the Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder, it was almost impossible to sessfully pass the Divine Tribtion.


    The Iceme Qilin, looking up at the deafening Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder descending, also had a solemn expression, letting out a roar, shaking the Nine Heavens, and the ice blue mes around its body red up, causing its figure to swell up once more, with the ice blue mes bing even more fierce and deeper in color.


    It struck out with both paws at the same time.


    Towering Ice Force and Power of Fire sted towards the Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder simultaneously.


    A heaven-shaking noise erupted, buzzing in the minds of Yang Xiaotian, Tian Zhengyi, and the others.


    The earth cracked.


    All the surrounding mountains turned into dust.


    Terrifying shockwaves rolled out in waves.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian and the others had retreated far enough, the residual shockwaves still rushed towards them with astonishing force.<div>


    However, with the Azure Thunder Python present, these shockwaves naturally did not reach Yang Xiaotian and the others.


    The dust storm did not disperse for a long time.


    Yang Xiaotian looked anxiously, but in the center of the dust storm stood the gigantic figure of the Iceme Qilin, its body emanating unceasing ice blue mes.


    Seeing that Old Bing was unharmed, Yang Xiaotian felt a wave of relief flood through him, followed by great joy.


    Old Bing had finally achieved a breakthrough to the Divine Spirit!


    Although Old Bing was also a Super Divine Beast, he was not just any Super Divine Beast, and his strength was definitely stronger than Old Meng once he broke through to the Divine Spirit Realm.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others flew towards him.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian and the others approach, the Iceme Qilin transformed back into human form.


    ¡°Old Bing, congrattions on passing the Divine Tribtion!¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    The Iceme Qilin replied with a smile, ¡°Thank you, young master, I didn¡¯t expect thest wave to be the Dark Oblivion Divine Thunder, fortunately, my old bones are tough, otherwise it would not have been easy to get through.¡±


    Everyone smiled.


    After resting for a while, they started to return to the True Dragon Divine Sect.

 Chapter 259: 259 Who Angered the Beast God!

    Chapter 259: Who Angered the Beast God!


    On the way back to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian and others received an urgent message from Tian Zhengyi that the Sky-Stepping Sect had united with the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, the Ancient Divine Pce, and the Maha Divine Sect to annihte the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    After receiving the message, Tian Zhengyi¡¯s face turned pale, and he hurriedly reported the situation to Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon hearing this, Xiaotian¡¯s face also darkened.


    ¡°Young master, why don¡¯t we just attack the Sky-Stepping Sect now!¡± Upon hearing, the Iceme Qilin said fiercely, brimming with the urge to kill.


    Yang Xiaotian asked Tian Zhengyi, ¡°When did this happen?¡±


    ¡°Three days ago,¡± Tian Zhengyi hurriedly replied. ¡°The Sky-Stepping Sect has already set out toward the True Dragon Divine Sect, and all the Saint Realm powerhouses from the four Supreme Sects have mobilized!¡±


    They had already set out!


    Yang Xiaotian said with a grave voice, ¡°We must hurry back to the True Dragon Divine Sect at full speed!¡±


    Immediately, the Azure Thunder Python transformed into its true form and carried Yang Xiaotian at great speed back to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    At the same time, Yang Xiaotian instructed Tian Zhengyi to send word to the Assassin Tower¡¯s experts to rush to the True Dragon Divine Sect. Additionally, joining forces with the Barefoot Elder Demon, Thousand Snakes Sword Master, Blood Prison deman, Xiaotian instructed them to lead all their followers to the True Dragon Divine Sect to reinforce.<div>


    Tian Zhengyi, understanding the severity of the situation, urgentlymanded the Heaven-Prating assassins from the Assassin Tower to make their way to the True Dragon Divine Sect as quickly as possible.


    Soon, the Barefoot Elder Demon, Thousand Snakes Sword Master, and Blood Prison deman received Yang Xiaotian¡¯s orders.


    The Barefoot Elder Demon, the Old Ancestor of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect, immediately led the sect¡¯s experts in a mad rush toward the True Dragon Divine Sect upon receiving themand from Yang Xiaotian.


    The Blood Prison deman likewise led all the experts of the Azure Blood Sect to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The Thousand Snakes Sword Master also shouted to the thousands of experts from the Thousand Snakes Manor, ¡°Everyone, heed mymand¡ªrush to the True Dragon Divine Sect at top speed and await orders!¡±


    The mobilization of experts from the Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Azure Blood Sect, Thousand Snakes Manor, and Assassin Tower immediately caused a stir among all parties across the world.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on! All experts from Assassin Tower have mobilized!¡±


    ¡°Why have all the Old Demons from the Phantom Sea Demon Sect and Azure Blood Sect taken action!¡±


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t the Thousand Snakes Sword Master been in seclusion for many years? To think he has emerged!¡±


    Whether it was the Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Azure Blood Sect, Thousand Snakes Manor, or Assassin Tower, their very mention turned people pale, and now they had all taken action.


    All the major Sects and families felt a collective sense of panic.


    Even though no one knew what was happening, they understood that a major crisis was imminent.


    While everyone was in a state of panic, some experts who ventured into the Red Moon Forest discovered in horror that divine beasts, usually rare to see, were flying out from the depths of the Red Moon Forest one after another.


    ¡°Golden Giant Ape!¡±


    ¡°Six-Winged Ascending Snake!¡±


    ¡°ck Water Demon!¡±


    Witnessing one divine beast after another flying out of the deepest parts of the Red Moon Forest, everyone was shocked and horrified.


    ¡°What is happening with these divine beasts? Why are they all emerging from the depths of the Red Moon Forest!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if they have heard a summon!¡±<div>


    Who was summoning them?!


    Suddenly, everyone¡¯s face turned pale.


    It was the Beast God!


    The only one capable of summoning these divine beasts was the Beast God of the Red Moon Forest, the Beast God of the Volcano!<div>


    ¡°A major event is about to happen!¡±


    Even though they did not know why the Beast God was summoning these divine beasts, it was certainly going to be a terrifying event.


    The Red Moon Forest had existed for innumerable years, yet there had never been a summoning of so many divine beasts all at once.


    Long Lan and Long Jiyi also quickly became aware of the news that all divine beasts of the Red Moon Forest were emerging from its depths, and their faces turned pale as well.


    ¡°What are they nning to do?¡± Long Lan eximed with a parched throat.


    The collective mobilization of all divine beasts from the Red Moon Forest was an absolutely terrifying urrence.


    Even Long Jiyi, the Dragon Emperor, was trembling with fear.


    ¡°Quick, report to the Ancestor!¡± Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Long Jiyi hurriedly reported to the Divine Dragon Ancestor.


    Although their Ancestor had said not to disturb him unless it was a matter of life and death, he could no longer concern himself with that rule now.


    The Divine Dragon Ancestor, upon hearing Long Jiyi¡¯s report, also furrowed his brows in shock and uncertainty, ¡°Who has been so blind as to provoke the Beast God?!¡±


    To have provoked the Beast God!


    Long Jiyi¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°Ancestor, do you think it could be someone from our Imperial Family who has inadvertently provoked the Beast God?¡± Long Jiyi swallowed hard.<div>


    The Divine Dragon Ancestor shook his head: ¡°That should not be the case; they couldn¡¯t possibly have provoked the Beast God.¡±


    Because they were not even qualified to provoke that one from the Volcano.


    ¡°Keep an eye on any movements in the Red Moon Forest!¡± the Divine Dragon Ancestor said with a very grave look on his face, ¡°Report back to me at any moment!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Ancestor!¡±


    Meanwhile, the experts from the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Ancient Divine Pce, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Mahak Divine Sect, the four Supreme Sects, were speeding towards the True Dragon Divine Sect aboard the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Imperial Sea Divine Ark.


    The Imperial Sea Divine Ark was the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Divine Artifact-ss flying ship, and also one of the two Divine Artifact-ss flying ships belonging to the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Its speed was so fast that many Divine Spirit Realm first-tier powerhouses could only watch it disappear into the distance.


    With the Imperial Sea Divine Ark at full speed, the True Dragon Divine Sect soon came into view.


    Looking at the distant True Dragon Divine Sect gates, Wu Peng¡¯s eyes shone with a cold light.


    ¡°After we destroy the True Dragon Divine Sect, the Tyrant Dragon¡¯s heart and Dragon Elixir will belong to our Sky-Stepping Sect,¡± Wu Peng stated, ¡°No objections, I assume?¡±


    Xiao Xiong, the Divine Spirit Ancestor of the Ancient Divine Pce,ughed, ¡°Of course, at that time, the Dragon Blood will go to our Ancient Divine Pce, the Dragon Flesh to the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Dragon Skin, Scales, Horns, and ws to the Mahak Divine Sect!¡±


    Afterward, everyone began to discuss how to divide the treasures and artifacts of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Though they had yet to make a move, in their eyes, the True Dragon Divine Sect was already like fish on a chopping board.<div>


    They had even agreed that after destroying the True Dragon Divine Sect, the Myriad Dragons Divine me would go to the Sky-Stepping Sect, and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire would go to the Ancient Divine Pce.


    ¡°As for Yang Xiaotian, our Sky-Stepping Sect will take him!¡± Wu Peng specifically stated.


    He wanted to know how Yang Xiaotian managed to control the Divine me and condense the Divine Elixir.


    As for Wu Peng¡¯s intentions, Xiao Xiong and the others had their suspicions, but with the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s strength being what it was, no one objected.


    Finally, the Imperial Sea Divine Ark arrived at the gates of the True Dragon Divine Sect, and at that time, the sky had not brightenedpletely yet. Looking at the patrolling disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, a Saint Realm Elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect flicked his finger, releasing hundreds of Sword Qi bursts.


    Instantly, the patrolling disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect screamed in agony, all plummeting from the sky.


    The experts from the four Supreme Sects swarmed out of the Divine Ark, spreading out and sealing off the True Dragon Divine Sectpletely.


    From afar, disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were alerted and began to rush out, but Wu Peng pped down with his palm, and a handrge enough to cover the sky and sun thundered down.


    The onrushing disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were all sted into the ground.


    A thunderous boom echoed.


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, Deng Hongqing, Liu Ping, and others were discussing matters in the great hall when they were startled by the sudden uproar; the entire hall shook, causing them all to be taken aback.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Hu Nan flew out of the great hall in shock.


    ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s the Sky-Stepping Sect! Plus the Ancient Divine Pce, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Mahak Divine Sect!¡± A True Dragon Divine Sect Elder rushed over in panic, eximing, ¡°The four Supreme Sects have joined forces to attack us!¡±<div>


    The four Supreme Sects had joined forces to attack?


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, and the rest went pale.


    ¡°How many havee?¡± Hu Nan asked, both shocked and angry.


    ¡°Seventeen Divine Spirits! Over a thousand from the Saint Realm!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve brought all of their Saint Realm, all of their Divine Spirits!¡± the Elder¡¯s voice trembled with fear.


    (The climax ising, brothers)

 Chapter 260: 260 Hand Over Yang Xiaotian

    Chapter 260: Hand Over Yang Xiaotian


    ¡°`


    Seventeen Divine Spirits! Over a thousand beings from the Saint Realm!


    All Saint Realm beings, all Divine Spirits are to be mobilized!


    Upon hearing this, Hu Nan felt a darkness before his eyes.


    Long Hao and all the experts present from the True Dragon Divine Sect felt as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart, unable to distinguish between south and north.


    Even some Elders were trembling uncontrobly.


    All Saint Realm beings, all Divine Spirits are to be mobilized, this meant the annihtion of the Sect!


    Thinking that the True Dragon Divine Sect would be destroyed, theplexions of some Elders turned ashen.


    ¡°All True Dragon Divine Sect experts heed mymand, activate the Mountain Protection Divine Array to its full extent, and meet the enemy!¡± Hu Nan suddenly roared fiercely, his bellow spreading throughout the entire True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Boom!<div>


    As Hu Nan¡¯s voice faded, peaks surged with lights reaching for the heavens.


    These lights intertwined, forming a Grand Array that enveloped the entire True Dragon Divine Sect.


    As Hu Nan finished speaking, he soared into the sky first, his body radiating Sword Qi that pierced the heavens, charging towards the mountain gate. Then he roared again: ¡°All True Dragon Divine Sect Disciplese forth to meet the battle, defend the mountain gate to the death!¡±


    ¡°Any who dares to shrink back in the face of the enemy shall be executed on the spot!¡±


    ¡°And their family held ountable!¡±


    Executed on the spot!


    And the family held ountable!


    Indeed, Hu Nan¡¯s words dispelled any thoughts of retreat from those disciples who had been harboring hopes of luck.


    The Ancestor, Long Hao, immediately followed close behind Hu Nan, likewise bellowing, ¡°All disciples, meet the battle, fight to the death!¡±


    ¡°Anyone who dares to betray the Sect, ording to the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯sws, shall have their head severed, heart gouged out, limbs cut off, soul detained, and be oppressed in Prison Mountain for eternity!¡±


    Following Long Hao¡¯s deration, one after another, Elders, Supreme Elders, and Ancestors of the True Dragon Divine Sect rose into the sky, following Hu Nan and Long Hao.


    At that moment, a divine might surged from the forbidden ground of the True Dragon Divine Sect, a vast Divine Power overwhelming the heavens. Then, an Earth Shaking Dragon Roar sounded as the Tyrant Dragon and Li Zhengqing burst forth from the void.


    Outside the True Dragon Divine Sect, Wu Peng heard the Earth Shaking Dragon Roar and smiled coldly. He had been waiting for this Tyrant Dragon. With the Tyrant Dragon¡¯s heart, his strength could advance another step. Even without repairing the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword, he would be able to overpower the Divine Dragon Ancestor.


    Moreover, with the Tyrant Dragon¡¯s Dragon Elixir, their Ancient Ancestor¡¯s injuries could bepletely healed.


    After that, they would be able to sweep across the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Just then, powerhouses from the surrounding cities heard that the four Supreme Sects were attacking the True Dragon Divine Sect and also rushed towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    No one wanted to miss such an earth-shattering battle.


    Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong, along with his son Li Jianghu and granddaughter Li Qianqian, were nearby. Hearing the news, they too were greatly shocked and rushed towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    ¡°The four great Sects of the Sky-Stepping Sect are going to besiege the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡± On the way, Li Hong furrowed his brows: ¡°The True Dragon Divine Sect is in grave danger!¡±<div>


    Li Jianghu alsomented, ¡°After today, the Divine Dragon Empire will likely be left with only the nine Supreme Sects!¡±


    Li Qianqian, on the other hand, was excited.


    She had never liked Yang Xiaotian and was very repulsed by him; naturally, she was happy to hear that the four great Sects were about to destroy the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    If the True Dragon Divine Sect was destroyed, Yang Xiaotian would definitely not escape!<div>


    Meanwhile, Gu Shaozong, Lan Yi, Zhu Xuan, and Long Xingtian, who were nearby, received the news and rushed to the True Dragon Divine Sect as well.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you won¡¯t survive this time!¡± Zhu Xuanughed wildly.


    At this moment, the Tyrant Dragon, Li Zhengqing, Hu Nan, Long Hao, and others led all the True Dragon Divine Sect Disciples to the mountain gate.


    Li Zhengqing looked at Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and Xiao Xiong with a grim face, rage filling his eyes: ¡°Wu Peng, what do you think you¡¯re doing?! Do you really think our True Dragon Divine Sect can be easily bullied?¡±


    Wu Peng chuckled, ¡°Brother Zhengqing, don¡¯t be angry. We have no other intentions here! Yang Xiaotian has killed quite a few of our Sect Disciples, we just want you to hand him over, that¡¯s all.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°As long as you hand over Yang Xiaotian, we will leave immediately,¡±


    This had been agreed upon during their journey; as long as they insisted that Yang Xiaotian killed their disciples from the four great Sects, they had a legitimate reason!


    By then, even if the True Dragon Divine Sect was annihted, the other Sects would have nothing to say.


    The tens of thousands of disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were in an uproar.


    Liu Ping immediately eximed in anger, ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, Yang Xiaotian is a troublemaker! Now that he has killed disciples from the four great Sects, bringing such disaster upon the True Dragon Divine Sect, what¡¯s the use of such a disciple, no matter how talented he is!¡±


    ¡°We should have expelled him from the Sect long ago!¡±


    Liu Ping¡¯s words incited resentment among many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect: ¡°It¡¯s all Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fault, it has nothing to do with us!¡±<div>


    ¡°Hand over Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Li Zhengqing sternly surveyed Liu Ping and the disciples who were shouting amidst the crowd.


    Hu Nan was also furiously fixating on Liu Ping.


    He didn¡¯t expect that his woman would be the first to stand out and incite trouble.


    Li Zhengqing coldly stared at Wu Peng, ¡°Xiaotian killed your disciples from the four great Sects? May I know which disciples they were?¡±


    Wu Peng dodged the question by saying, ¡°You don¡¯t need to know which disciples they were, just hand over Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Actually, today, whether the True Dragon Divine Sect handed over Yang Xiaotian or not, they were determined to annihte it.


    Yang Xiaotian was just a pretext.


    Of course, if the True Dragon Divine Sect was willing to hand over Yang Xiaotian, that would be even better.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian is a disciple of my True Dragon Divine Sect. It is our duty to protect every disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡± Li Zhengqing dered, ¡°We will not hand him over to you!¡±


    Wu Peng¡¯s eyes turned chilly, and he suddenly ordered, ¡°Kill!¡± With that, he produced a Divine Sword in his hand, the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword, and with it, he ferociously struck at Li Zhengqing.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and several Divine Spirits simultaneously summoned their Divine Artifacts or Half-Divine Artifacts and attacked together.


    The Saints of the four great Sects of the Sky-Stepping Sect alsounched their attacks at the same time.<div>


    In an instant, the vast and boundless power of seventeen Divine Spirits and over a thousand Saints roared out, overwhelming the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    With seventeen Divine Spirits and over a thousand Saints attacking simultaneously, the power was terrifying. Suddenly, the sky turned dark, as if the end of the world hade.


    The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect simultaneously turned pale, their faces stricken with terror.


    ¡°All disciples, attack! Operate the True Dragon Great Array with all your might!¡± Li Zhengqing roared, while he, holding the Divine Sword, shed at Wu Peng and the others.


    The Tyrant Dragon also let out a roar, striking with its ws.


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, Liang Yafei, and others also made full-power attacks.


    Boom!


    A cataclysmic explosion sounded.


    The noise carried for who knows how many miles.


    Powerful individuals who were approaching from afar were sted into deafness, their organs shaking, all looking on in shock at the scene.


    The terrible force of the shockwave swept through, and some of the Sect experts who had arrived were caught off-guard, sted away, creating a rain of blood in the sky.


    Li Hong, Li Jianghu, and Li Qianqian, who had also rushed over, were equally shocked by this heaven-annihting strike.


    The power of a single Divine Spirit was terrifying enough; the shock of seeing over a dozen Divine Spirits attack at once was truly staggering.<div>


    Watching the oing wave of the st, Li Hong struck out continuously with his palms, and despite this, he was still forced to retreat repeatedly.


    The countless disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were directly impacted by the force, thrown out like locusts, with the weaker ones knocked unconscious outright.


    The ck Flood Dragon King, having broken through to the Saint Realm, promptly intervened to protect the Huang Family. Despite this, Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and Yang Ling¡¯er still vomited blood incessantly.

 Chapter 261: 261 Qingsong Arrived Late

    Chapter 261: Qingsong Arrived Late


    Even Hu Nan and Long Hao, both in the tenth stratum of the Saint Realm, couldn¡¯t help but retreat continuously under the impact of the terrifying force, blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths.


    Apart from Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, all the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect sustained injuries in that strike.


    Long Hao was horrified.


    This was still with the power of the True Dragon Great Array protecting them, blocking the majority of the force; otherwise, thatst attack could have directly blown away the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Seeing this, Wu Peng sneered, ¡°I¡¯d like to see how many times you can block this!¡± With that, he once again shed out with his Sky-Stepping Divine Sword.


    The Sword Qi of the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword erupted, sting towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others acted simultaneously.


    Seventeen Divine Spirits and over a thousand Saint Realm powerhouses unleashed their power, which did not wane but rather grew stronger, even more so than before.


    The distant powerhouses from all sides were so frightened that they hastily flew back to avoid the onught.


    The earth-shaking boom sounded once again.<div>


    The terrifying force surged.


    Everything around the True Dragon Divine Sect was blown away, crushed, and turned to ashes.


    The mighty power that obscured the sun caused the sky to go utterly dark.


    After the second bombardment, Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others did not stop, continuing with a third strike, a fourth, and a fifth.


    The glow of the True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s mountain-defense array grew increasingly dim.


    Finally, after more than a dozen strikes, the mountain-defense array burst with a loud crack andpletely scattered.


    The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were directly exposed to the force of the four Supreme Sects, each one blown away, with mountains and pces copsing, the earth cracking open, and rivers flowing backward.


    Many Spirit Beasts turned into a rain of blood.


    Hu Nan, Long Hao, and the others were also blown away.


    However, just as Hu Nan was blown away, suddenly, Liu Ping struck a palm at Hu Nan¡¯s back, sending him flying again.


    And Deng Hongqing also made a move, catapulting Long Hao away with a palm strike.


    The unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.


    ¡°You!¡± Hu Nan red at Liu Ping and, opening his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Liu Ping and Deng Hongqing then approached Wu Peng, bowing respectfully and saying, ¡°Ancestor!¡±


    Wu Peng nodded.


    ¡°You are from the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡± Long Hao red at Liu Ping and Deng Hongqing.


    ¡°Correct. Before joining the True Dragon Divine Sect, we were from the Sky-Stepping Sect!¡± Liu Ping said calmly. Now that the True Dragon Divine Sect would be destroyed, there was no harm in admitting it.


    ¡°You treacherous wench!¡± Hu Nan bellowed.


    However, Liu Ping just sneered and said, ¡°Hu Nan, rest assured, soon I will personally see you off. As for your daughter, I will take good care of her!¡±<div>


    Hu Yue¡¯s face turned deathly pale, and many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were left dumbfounded.


    Even Xiao Xiong from the Ancient Divine Pce and others were greatly surprised, having not expected Liu Ping and Deng Hongqing to be from the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Just as Wu Peng was about to make another move and happily ughter the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, suddenly, many people looked towards the distance with shocked expressions. Wu Peng sensed the unusual looks of the crowd and couldn¡¯t help but follow their gazes.


    They saw a young boy in a light blue brocade robe approaching through the sky, stepping on mes that appeared like a piece ofnd beneath his feet, with nine golden phoenixes swirling around him.<div>


    The mes and waves of earth surged, and the nine golden phoenixes zed towards the sky, exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight.


    Seeing the stunning face of the young boy, everyone was mesmerized.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    Nobody had expected Yang Xiaotian to appear at this time.


    When Li Zhengqing saw that it was Yang Xiaotian, he eximed with surprise and urgency, ¡°My precious child, run for your life!¡±


    Many of the Sect masters who had just been buffeted by the shockwave and felt like vomiting but couldn¡¯t, suddenly could no longer hold it in and vomited blood with a ¡°wa!¡±


    Li Hong was also dumbstruck.


    He had not expected that Li Zhengqing¡¯s cry of ¡°My precious baby¡± would be so powerful, capable of making so many sect experts vomit blood instantly.


    Li Zhengqing¡¯s voice reached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ears, even causing the Earth me beneath Xiaotian¡¯s feet to tremble.


    Luckily, Xiaotian¡¯s resolve was firm, otherwise, he might have fallen down.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xiaotian stepped on the Earth me and returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Seeing his parents, sister, and the injured disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened as he red at Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others, ¡°You all deserve to die!¡±<div>


    Hearing this, Wu Pengughed heartily, ¡°Pity, Xiaotian, today it is you who will die!¡±


    ¡°And today, it will be the True Dragon Divine Sect that is annihted!¡±


    Li Zhengqing, however, red at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I told you to run, didn¡¯t you hear me?¡±


    Xiaotian knew that Li Zhengqing was worried about him and smiled, ¡°Lord Li, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhengqing was so angry that his beard trembled.


    ¡°Brother!¡± At this moment, Yang Ling¡¯er came forward with tears in her eyes.


    ¡°With brother here, everything will be fine,¡± Xiaotian reassured.


    ¡°Everything will be fine?¡± Deng Hongqing sneered, ¡°Xiaotian, you speak as though you can protect your sister; those who don¡¯t know better might think you¡¯re the number one expert in the Divine Dragon Empire.¡±


    At that point, You Yi stepped forward and said to Deng Hongqing, ¡°Ancestor, I wish to personally execute Xiaotian and bring his head to the Sky-Stepping Sect.¡±


    Long Hao¡¯s expression soured, and his eyes zed, ¡°You traitor, how dare you!¡±


    Following that, another dozen Inner Sect Disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect came forward, expressing their willingness to execute Xiaotian and deliver his head to the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    These Inner Sect Disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect had extraordinary talents, all at the pinnacle of Martial Ancestor, with many being the direct disciples of various Great Elders.


    The faces of these Great Elders were unsightly.<div>


    Deng Hongqing looked at Wu Peng.


    Wu Peng, looking at You Yi and the defecting disciples,ughed, ¡°Good, I approve.¡± Then he said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you can defeat these dozen or so disciples of your True Dragon Divine Sect, I¡¯ll let your family go.¡±


    ¡°Not interested,¡± Xiaotian responded indifferently.


    Upon hearing this, You Yi, holding a longsword, sneered, ¡°Not interested? Yang Xiaotian, I think you¡¯re just scared!¡± Saying this, he activated the power of his six Strongest Sword Hearts, preparing to attack Xiaotian.


    Just then, suddenly, from a distance, demonic Qi surged tumultuously, a terrifying demonic presence nketing the sky andnd.


    Everyone was startled and turned to look.


    Upon seeing the neers, everyone¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°Phantom Sea Demon Sect!¡±


    ¡°Barefoot Elder Demon!¡±


    ¡°What is the Phantom Sea Demon Sect doing here, what do they want? The True Dragon Divine Sect is about to fall, do they want a piece of the action too?¡±


    No wonder the experts from various sects thought so; after all, the authorities of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect were always profit-driven.


    Li Hong¡¯s brows furrowed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Phantom Sea Demon Sect and even the Barefoot Elder Demon toe; it seems this time the True Dragon Divine Sect is beyond salvation!¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, the Barefoot Elder Demon led a hundred thousand experts of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect to the scene.<div>


    The Barefoot Elder Demon walked towards Yang Xiaotian.


    As the Barefoot Elder Demon advanced, Hu Nan and Long Hao both grew sweaty palms, after all, the demonic reputation of the Barefoot Elder Demon was too great, being acimed as the number one person beneath the Divine Spirits of the demon sects.


    Moreover, his methods were extremely cruel, with countless members of the Human Race having perished at his hands.


    Just as Li Zhengqing was about to make a move, suddenly, the Barefoot Elder Demon knelt on one knee, his face filled with panic as he addressed Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master, Qingsong has arrivedte! Please forgive me, Young Master!¡±


    Qingsong has arrivedte! Please forgive me, Young Master!


    Everyone watching the Barefoot Elder Demon kneeling on one knee, his face full of panic, had their mindse to a halt.


    (Third update at nine o¡¯clock in the evening)

 Chapter 262: 262: Is There Anyone Not Afraid of Death?

    Chapter 262: Is There Anyone Not Afraid of Death?


    The Barefoot Elder Demon, hailed as the most formidable under the Divine Spirit of the demon sect, was now kneeling before Yang Xiaotian with one knee on the ground, his face filled with panic!


    Moreover, that panic wasn¡¯t feigned but a true fear of Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Li Qianqian¡¯s eyes were full of shock.


    The Barefoot Elder Demon was an entity even her grandfather, Li Hong, was wary of.


    Now, however, he knelt before Yang Xiaotian with one knee on the ground, pleading for mercy with a face full of terror.


    Not only did Li Qianqian fail to understand, but Li Hong, Hu Nan, and the others couldn¡¯t either.


    They could notprehend why the top figure under the Divine Spirit of the demon sect, the Barefoot Elder Demon, was so terrified of Yang Xiaotian.


    Of course, they couldn¡¯t understand the fear that possessed the Barefoot Elder Demon, who had been bombarded by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force ten times over.


    At this moment, the Barefoot Elder Demon¡¯s belly trembled.<div>


    ¡°Rise,¡± said Yang Xiaotian.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, the Barefoot Elder Demon, as if granted a pardon, said gratefully, ¡°Thank you, Young Master,¡± before he dared to stand up.


    Watching this magical scene unfold, the crowd exchanged puzzled looks.


    Wu Peng looked at the Barefoot Elder Demon with a face ashen: ¡°Very good! Since that¡¯s the case, today I will eradicate the Phantom Sea Demon Sect as well!¡±


    Then he scanned the four directions and sneered, ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to step forward and beg for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mercy?¡±


    Just as Wu Peng finished speaking, many of the Sect masters saw a dense crowd suddenly surge from the direction the Barefoot Elder Demon hade from.


    When thisrge group appeared, everyone felt an overwhelming aura of terrifying murderous intent.


    This killing intent, gathered together, was like a vast ocean, covering the sky and thend.


    These individuals were all uniformly dressed in grey garb.


    Seeing these people, the masters of various Supreme Sects also changed their expressions.


    ¡°Assassin Tower!¡±


    ¡°Tian Zhengyi, the master of Assassin Tower!¡±


    ¡°What on earth is Tian Zhengyi nning, leading the entire Assassin Tower into action?¡±


    You should know, hiring an assassin from Assassin Tower for a single action costs a fortune, let alone seeing tens of thousands of top assassins from Assassin Tower inplete mobilization now.


    Who could be sovish as to enlist the services of tens of thousands of assassins from the entire Assassin Tower?


    Even the Sky-Stepping Sect might not be able to afford it.


    As tens of thousands of assassins from Assassin Tower advanced, everyone stepped back in rm, for many, the killers of Assassin Tower were even more feared than the old demons of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect.


    Tian Zhengyi, leading tens of thousands of Assassin Tower¡¯s top killers, soon arrived at the scene, and under everyone¡¯s gaze, he approached Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing Tian Zhengyi approaching Yang Xiaotian, everyone thought of a possibility in unison.<div>


    Li Qianqian stuttered, ¡°Impossible!¡±


    But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Tian Zhengyi, just like the Barefoot Elder Demon, kneeling on one knee, and said with utmost respect, ¡°Young Master, Tian Zhengyi has rushed over with Assassin Tower! All the top killers of Assassin Tower are at your disposal!¡±


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Tian Zhengyi led all the killers of Assassin Tower into action, just to await the orders of Yang Xiaotian alone!<div>


    Why, exactly?


    Tian Zhengyi was the master of Assassin Tower! Even the Sky-Stepping Sect couldn¡¯t subjugate the Assassin Tower.


    But now, Tian Zhengyi was willing to serve under Yang Xiaotian!


    And this battle may very well be to the death!


    It might be that the whole Assassin Tower would perish here.


    Yet knowing this battle could lead to their end here, Tian Zhengyi still led all of the top killers from Assassin Tower to the fight.


    ¡°Why!¡± Li Qianqian couldn¡¯t ept what she was seeing. Whether it was the Barefoot Elder Demon or Tian Zhengyi, the master of the Assassin Tower, their status was no lower than her grandfather¡¯s. Why would they willingly serve Yang Xiaotian?


    Even if Yang Xiaotian had exceptional talent, he was nothing more than a Martial Ancestor.


    Li Qianqian couldn¡¯t understand, and neither could the other experts.


    Seeing Tian Zhengyi actually leading all the assassins from Assassin Tower to help Yang Xiaotian, Wu Peng burst into angryughter, ¡°Good! Very good! Since it is so, then today I will eradicate Assassin Tower as well!¡±


    ¡°After today, Assassin Tower will cease to exist!¡±


    Having said that, he scanned the crowd, ¡°Is there anyone else who isn¡¯t afraid to die, ready to take orders from Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    He couldn¡¯t believe there would be another who wasn¡¯t afraid to die and stand out to take orders from Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    But as his words fell, suddenly, a boundless Blood Sea appeared in the distant sky.


    The Blood Sea churned violently, looking exceedingly terrifying.


    Above the Blood Sea, tens of thousands of Swordsmen stood.


    Each Swordsman carried a blood saber on his back.


    The aura of the blood sabers permeated the air.


    Each Swordsman radiated a kind of tenacity, a zing fighting spirit of unyielding resistance.


    ¡°Azure Blood Sect!¡±


    ¡°Blood Prison deman!¡±


    Seeing the Blood Prison deman leading tens of thousands of Azure Blood Sect Swordsmen flying over, everyone was startled and their expressionsplex.


    The Blood Prison deman leading tens of thousands of Azure Blood Sect Swordsmen here, could it be also¡­?


    ¡°Chen Fang leads the Azure Blood Sect here at your disposal, young master!¡± As everyone looked on, the Blood Prison deman approached Yang Xiaotian, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said.


    Seeing that the Blood Prison deman had indeed led tens of thousands of Azure Blood Sect Swordsmen to wait upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s orders, everyone was at a loss for words for a moment.


    Theplexions of Wu Peng and the experts from the four Supreme Sects turned ugly.<div>


    Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect¡ªthe three powers together were something not even the top ten Supreme Sects dared to ignore.


    Although Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, and others were not Divine Spirits, if the three powers were to fight to the death, they could kill plenty of Saint Realm experts from the four Supreme Sects.


    Wu Peng¡¯s face darkened, and he swept his gaze across the crowd, speaking coldly, ¡°Is there anyone else who isn¡¯t afraid to die and ready to take orders from Yang Xiaotian? Step forward!¡±


    But even as he said this, his voice was somewhat unnatural, fearing that yet another who wasn¡¯t afraid to die might emerge.


    Just as Wu Peng finished speaking, suddenly from afar, Sword Qi skyrocketed, and tens of thousands of Swordsmen arrived, riding on swords.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Thousand Snakes Manor!¡±


    ¡°No way!¡±


    Seeing tens of thousands of Thousand Snakes Manor Swordsmen appear riding on swords, everyone was bbergasted.


    Even the just-speaking Wu Peng was dumbfounded.


    Are they reallying?


    ¡°Thousand Snakes Manor might not necessarily being to aid Yang Xiaotian!¡± someone among the crowd, an elder, shook his head.


    Thousand Snakes Manor had been reclusive for many years, and he didn¡¯t believe that they woulde to take orders from Yang Xiaotian as well.<div>


    ¡°He Yong leads the disciples of Thousand Snakes Manor here to await the young master¡¯s orders!¡± The Thousand Snakes Sword Master approached Yang Xiaotian, and just like the Barefoot Elder Demon and others before, knelt on one knee.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others¡¯plexions turned sour.


    ¡°Is this his confidence and reliance?¡± Li Qianqian murmured.


    Thebined Saint Realm forces of Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, and Thousand Snakes Manor, together, had already far surpassed those of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    ¡°This is too defying of heaven!¡± some family patriarchs eximed, unable to hide their shock upon seeing Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, and Thousand Snakes Manor, all ready to serve Yang Xiaotian.


    Getting any one of these four powers to serve was an incredibly difficult task, let alone all four at once.


    Yet why would all four forces serve Yang Xiaotian simultaneously?


    They simply could not understand.


    At that moment, Wu Peng, with an ugly look on his face, roared with a mixture of sternness and anxiety, ¡°Is there anyone else who isn¡¯t afraid to die for Yang Xiaotian? Come on out, all of you,e out!¡±

 Chapter 263: 263 Lord Long Is Nearby

    Chapter 263: Lord Long Is Nearby


    When Wu Peng finished speaking, everyone was extremely tense.


    Even Wu Peng and Xiao Xiong, the divine spirit ancestors of the four Supreme Sects, were nervous, fearing that some fearless force would emerge again.


    However, after Wu Peng¡¯s words fell, there was calm all around.


    For a long time, no other Sect emerged.


    Seeing this, Wu Peng finally let out the breath he was holding.


    As long as no more sect forces emerged, it would be fine.


    If it was only the Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, and Thousand Snakes Manor, then everything was still within their control.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, is this your reliance?¡± Wu Peng looked at Yang Xiaotian and sneered, ¡°You indeed surprised and astonished me.¡±


    ¡°However, unfortunately, the Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, and Thousand Snakes Manor will still not be able to protect you.¡±


    ¡°Today, you still have to die!¡±<div>


    ¡°And they must be buried with you, True Dragon Divine Sect, your family, your sister will all be crushed to death by me, nothing will change.¡±


    Wu Pengughed maniacally.


    But just as Wu Peng¡¯s manicughter echoed through the sky, suddenly, Li Hong, Li Qianqian, and others saw that above the Nine Heavens, dense divine thunders appeared.


    The terrifying might of divine thunders covered heaven and earth in an instant.


    Wu Peng and Tang Hong were also startled and looked up, only to see the vast expanse of countless divine thunders covering the sky above the Nine Heavens.


    ¡°Taiyi Divine Thunder, Taixiao Divine Thunder!¡±


    ¡°Fire Wheel Divine Thunder, Ziwei Divine Thunder!¡±


    Even the divine spirit ancestors of the four Supreme Sects changedplexion upon seeing these divine thunders.


    Each of these divine thunders was powerful enough to threaten a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse.


    ¡°How can there be so many divine thunders?!¡± Li Qianqian trembled.


    As her words fell, the countless divine thunders, like a fierce flood bursting forth, crashed down violently, falling squarely on the heads of the powerhouses from the four Supreme Sects.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were terrified, bellowing, ¡°Retreat quickly!¡±


    At the same time, Wu Peng shed out with the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword in his hand.


    One Sword Across the Sky, one sword separating Yin and Yang, one sword cutting through Heaven and Earth.


    But it was useless.


    There were too many divine thunders.


    Even Wu Peng¡¯s sword, no matter how strong, could not sever all the divine thunders.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others made their moves one after another.


    The terror-stricken powerhouses of the four Supreme Sects at the Saint Realm frantically took action.<div>


    Suddenly, a terrifying force erupted towards the heavens.


    However, just as the myriad of divine thunders crashed down, everyone saw two colossal legs extend out from the void!


    No one could describe how massive these legs were.


    These two colossal legs, carrying the destructive power of thunder, hammered down towards the powerhouses of the four Supreme Sects at the Saint Realm.<div>


    Then, the experts of the four Supreme Sects saw a thousand-zhang long tail zing with astonishing lightning sweep towards them; this tail was extremely thick, with Nine Heaven Divine Thunders constantly bursting forth.


    In an instant, it swept in front of the many Saint Realm experts of the four Supreme Sects.


    Zhao Jinzhou, Jiujiu and others were shocked, punching out to block the colossal tail.


    Boom! Boom!


    Explosive sounds continued to ring out.


    The terrifying power of divine thunder flooded heaven and earth.


    Mountains in the distance were hit by one of the divine thunders and instantly turned to ashes.


    Powerhouses from the various Sects in the distance were horrified and fled.


    Those who were too slow to escape were struck by the aftershocks of the divine thunders, crashing into distant mountains and vomiting blood profusely.


    Even Li Hong was so frightened that he, along with Li Jianghu and Li Qianqian, used the escape technique of the Green Lotus Tavern to flee.


    Under the enveloping force of the terrifying divine thunders, many Saint Realm ancestors from the four Supreme Sects, like Zhao Jinzhou and Jiu Wu, were sted away.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and other Divine Spirit powerhouses also felt numbness in their arms and churning blood and qi.


    ¡°`<div>


    Mighty beings were startled.


    Among the thunder-light that filled the sky, everyone saw a beast massive as the Ancient Divine Mountain emerge from the void.


    ¡°Beast God!¡±


    ¡°Azure Thunder Python!¡±


    Seeing this giant beast enveloped in terrifying thunderous light, everyone was shocked.


    No one had expected that the Beast God Azure Thunder Python would suddenly appear and, moreover, strike out against the strong ones from the four Supreme Sects.


    Even Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and others had not anticipated this.


    Wu Peng, looking at the emerging Azure Thunder Python, was scared out of his wits. He had not expected that after the Bloodline Return to Ancestry, the Azure Thunder Python would be so powerful.


    He had thought that, even if the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s bloodline returned to its ancestry and evolved into a Super Divine Beast, at most it would only be slightly stronger than himself, but that blow just now was far more than just a little stronger.


    ¡°Beast God, wasn¡¯t it said that the Azure Thunder Python had been subdued by Lord Long? Could it be that Lord Long is also here? Nearby?¡± asked a Sect Ancestor with a trembling voice.


    Lord Long!


    Upon hearing the Sect Ancestor¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s hearts skipped a beat.


    At this moment, the crowd hadn¡¯t linked too much together yet.<div>


    Wu Peng took a deep breath and stepped forward with a clenched fist, asking, ¡°I have seen the Beast God. Has our four great sects offended the Beast God or Lord Long by any chance?¡±


    He then said, ¡°We definitely did not mean any offense to the Beast God or Lord Long.¡±


    Everyone held their breath as they watched the Azure Thunder Python.


    ¡°No offense?¡± The Azure Thunder Python looked indifferently at Wu Peng with eyes asrge as Thunder Lake, then flew towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Seeing the Azure Thunder Python heading towards the True Dragon Divine Sect, everyone was puzzled.


    Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, upon seeing the Beast God Azure Thunder Python flying over, were extremely nervous.


    ¡°We have seen the Beast God!¡± Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon hurriedly approached and paid their respects.


    Yet the Azure Thunder Python flew past Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, directly toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing the Azure Thunder Python flying straight to Yang Xiaotian, everyone was greatly surprised.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the other masters from the four Supreme Sects were also stunned.


    The Azure Thunder Python was getting closer and closer to Yang Xiaotian.


    Watching the Azure Thunder Python get closer and closer to Yang Xiaotian, Li Qianqian suddenly had a terrifying thought pop into her mind. Her beautiful face drastically changed, and her voice couldn¡¯t help but tremble, ¡°Impossible! Absolutely impossible!¡±


    But as soon as her words fell, the Azure Thunder Python arrived in front of Yang Xiaotian and spoke, ¡°Young Master.¡±<div>


    Young Master!


    This address was even more terrifying than the previous Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.


    And grander.


    It startled Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and the others.


    It startled all the powerful members of the sects.


    Li Hong, the master of the Green Lotus Tavern, was also scared silly.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± one Sect Ancestor after another cried out in disbelief.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian leapt up andnded on the mountainous head of the Azure Thunder Python, standing tall against the wind.


    At this instant, everyone¡¯s gaze fell upon the small figure in the light blue brocade robe.


    The sunlight reflected off that small face, making it dazzlingly brilliant.


    Time, at this moment, seemed to stop.


    The airflow seemed topletely freeze there.


    The Heaven and Earth were so quiet.


    Gu Shaozong, Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, and Lan Yi, who had previously been opposing Yang Xiaotian, were all frightened to the point of making noises below.


    ¡°Lord Long!¡± The Sect Ancestor who had earlier spected that Lord Long might be nearby looked at Yang Xiaotian with a pale face, eyes full of shock.


    Since the battle at Green Sea, everyone had been specting about the identity of Lord Long, guessing that he might be some Divine Spirit Powerhouse who does not appear in the world.


    Yet, no one knew who this mysterious Lord Long was.


    And now, everyone linked the mysterious Lord Long with the figure in light blue before them.


    (Such a show-off!)

 Chapter 264: 264: Young Master, I’m Late

    Chapter 264: Young Master, I¡¯m Late


    Everyone was so shocked that they were at a loss for words for a long while.


    Not a soul spoke out.


    Only the whispering voices of Zhu Xuan and a few others could be heard.


    You Yi, who had just wanted to challenge Yang Xiaotian and had wished to sever his head, was now rendered speechless.


    Wu Peng also remained silent, unable to use words to describe his emotions at the moment.


    He had not expected that Lord Long, whom they had been desperately searching for and wishing to form an alliance with, turned out to be the youth in front of him who had control over the Divine me and had condensed a Divine Elixir!


    It was the very same Yang Xiaotian whom he had just tried to crush to death!


    Yang Xiaotian was Lord Long!


    He found it hard to believe, unconvincing and uneptable.


    After a long while, the experts from the four Supreme Sects slowly recovered their senses.<div>


    But, none of the people like Zhao Jinzhou or Jiu Wu dared to make a move.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Wu Peng.


    Looking at the Azure Thunder Python in front of him that was as imposing as the Ancient Divine Mountain, Wu Peng¡¯s eyes flickered, and with a clenched jaw, he shouted fiercely, ¡°Kill! Annihte the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    ¡°Kill the Azure Thunder Python! Afterward, our four great sects will divide its flesh and blood!¡±


    The four great sects had seventeen Divine Spirit Powerhouses.


    Whereas the Azure Thunder Python, Tyrant Dragon, and Li Zhengqing amounted to just three Divine Spirits.


    He simply didn¡¯t believe that their seventeen Divine Spirit Powerhouses couldn¡¯t kill a single Azure Thunder Python.


    Though the power of the Azure Thunder Python was terrifying, its flesh and blood were supreme treasures.


    This was a Super Divine Beast.


    The flesh, Dragon Elixir, dragon horns, and dragon ws of a Super Divine Beast were all treasures of inestimable value.


    Upon hearing Wu Peng¡¯smand, the experts from the four Supreme Sects rushed into action, about to attack.


    Just at that moment, suddenly, a heaven-shaking beast roar sounded, causing everyone¡¯s eardrums to ache.


    A terrifying divine might once again enveloped heaven and earth.


    This divine might was so strong that it even surpassed that of the Azure Thunder Python.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and others looked up in shock, only to see countless ice-blue icicles plummeting crazily from above the Nine Heavens.


    ¡°Retreat fast!¡± Wu Peng shouted again in fear, wildly shing out with the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword in his hand.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others reacted in shock and took action.


    In the void, two incredibly huge beast legs extended out.


    These two legs were so massive that they were several timesrger than the dragon legs of the Azure Thunder Python.<div>


    The two beast legs stomped down towards the more than a thousand saints from the four Supreme Sects.


    As the beast legs stomped down, ice-blue mes spread across the sky, threatening to engulf the experts from the four Supreme Sects.


    Even before the ice-blue mes fell, the experts from the four Supreme Sects felt as though they were trapped in an underground magma world, their souls seemingly about to freeze stiff.


    Li Hong¡¯s face drastically changed upon seeing the sky-filled ice-blue mes, and with a trembling voice, he said, ¡°It¡¯s that one!¡± Then he once again pulled Li Jianghu and Li Qianqian to retreat frantically.<div>


    ¡°Quick, retreat!¡±


    ¡°That one hase!¡±


    Every Sect Ancestor, seeing the sky-filled ice-blue mes, thought of that entity and screamed in terror, dragging their Sect Disciples to retreat frantically.


    While Li Hong and the experts from the various sects were retreating in panic, there were continuous explosive sounds.


    The Sword Qi of Wu Peng and others collided with the countless ice-blue icicles.


    The Sword Qi burst forth, sending icicles flying.


    Ice-blue shards scattered like a storm of snowkes.


    Striking into the surrounding mountain peaks.


    Peak after peak crumbled, only to then solidify into ice.


    Yet everything around the mountains was incinerated into nothingness by the ice-blue mes.


    Seeing the terrifying power of the ice-blue icicles, the experts from all the great sects felt their souls leave their bodies.


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s fearful gazes, a Kylin, no smaller in stature than the Azure Thunder Python and exuding ice-blue mes all over its body, appeared in the void.


    The moment the giant Kylin appeared, its divine might swept across heaven and earth in an even more tyrannical manner.<div>


    Everyone had difficulty breathing.


    The masters of the four Supreme Sects were the first to bear the brunt, as if an invisible force had seized their throats.


    Wu Peng, Xiao Xiong, and others were alright, but Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and other Saint Realm beings faced this brutal divine might and could not help but feel suffocated.


    ¡°Beast God!¡±


    ¡°Iceme Kylin!¡±


    Everyone gazed at the enormous kylin in the sky above Nine Heavens and gasped in cold air.


    Although the Azure Thunder Python is also a Beast God, it was onlyter that its bloodline reverted to its ancestors. To everyone, the Iceme Kylin was the true Beast God.


    The Iceme Kylin¡¯s fame was undoubtedly greater than that of the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Iceme Kylin took one step after another down from the Nine Heavens.


    The overwhelming divine might, like invisible giant waves, devoured heaven and earth.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others all felt their hearts tighten.


    The Iceme Kylin had actually broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm!


    In the past, Volcano, though fearsome, had not been enough to truly terrify Wu Peng, because the Iceme Kylin had not yet broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm.<div>


    But now, it had made the breakthrough!


    However, beyond his shock, Wu Peng was also filled with rage. He couldn¡¯t understand why Volcano would suddenly attack them, as they had not offended it before.


    At this moment, with all eyes watching, the Iceme Kylin took one step at a time towards the Azure Thunder Python.


    Seeing the Iceme Kylin approach the Azure Thunder Python, many held their breath, transfixed.


    ¡°Volcano has always been at odds with the Azure Thunder Python. Just days ago, they had an earth-shattering battle. Is Volcano here for another great fight with the Azure Thunder Python?¡± guessed a Sect Ancestor.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and the others were all excited.


    Obviously, they believed the Iceme Kylin was here to deal with the Azure Thunder Python.


    Considering the power that the Iceme Kylin had just disyed, it was clear that it was slightly stronger than the Azure Thunder Python. This meant an inevitable defeat for the Azure Thunder Python.


    The four Supreme Sects could then sit back and reap the benefits of the fishermen.


    Li Zhengqing and Tyrant Dragon were also extremely nervous.


    The Iceme Kylin reached the Azure Thunder Python and suddenly stopped. Just as Wu Peng and the others thought it was about to strike, they heard the Iceme Kylin speak to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°My lord, I have arrivedte.¡±


    My lord, I have arrivedte!


    This sentence sent shivers down everyone¡¯s spines, shocked all to a pale, and knocked the masters of the four Supreme Sects off bnce. It intensified the rustling sounds from the undergarments of Zhu Xuan, Gu Shaozong, and others.<div>


    It gave Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others the premonition of a stroke.


    Yang Ling¡¯er and others were dumbstruck.


    At this moment, Yang Ling¡¯er finally understood why her brother had told her earlier that there would be no problem.


    Li Hong and Li Qianqian¡¯s minds were thunderstruck as they watched the Iceme Kylin bow its head before Yang Xiaotian.


    Li Hong couldn¡¯t help but remember the time at the auction when he had asked Yang Xiaotian to give up the Six-Layer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water. He hadn¡¯t thought there was anything wrong with that at the time, but now his body was covered in cold sweat.


    As for Li Qianqian, herplexion turned whiter and greener, alternating between pallor and green.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Yang Xiaotian, as if looking upon a supreme terror.


    A terror even more fearsome than the Divine Dragon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s robe rustled in the wind as he looked at the Iceme Kylin before him andmanded, ¡°Kill!¡±


    Kill!


    Thismand made everyone¡¯s heart tremble.


    Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and others felt a darkness before their eyes.


    Following Yang Xiaotian¡¯smand to kill, they saw the Iceme Kylin letting out a long howl to the sky.


    As the howl ended, the ground suddenly shook violently.


    Then, everyone saw divine beasts appear in the distant horizon.


    ¡°Golden Giant Ape!¡±


    ¡°Six-Winged Ascending Snake!¡±


    ¡°Double-Headed Demon Tiger!¡±


    One after another, divine beasts ordinarily difficult to see were rushing towards them at astonishing speeds.


    Behind these Divine Beasts followed millions of Fierce Beasts.

 Chapter 265: 265: A Battle that Shocked the World

    Chapter 265: A Battle that Shocked the World


    ¡°`


    What kind of scene is it when tens of divine beasts lead a surge of millions of fierce beasts?


    That surging power, like endlessly rolling and tumultuous waves.


    Under the trampling of millions of fierce beasts, even mountains shake and the earth cracks.


    Even from a great distance, everyone¡¯s faces turned pale.


    ¡°It¡¯s a beast tide!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a beast tide of millions!¡±


    One of the sect ancestors turned deathly pale with fear.


    Back in the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian had encountered a beast tide before, and the power that could shake heaven and earth was enough to send everything in front of it flying, shattering it into dust.


    But that time, the beast tide Yang Xiaotian had encountered consisted of only several hundred thousand fierce beasts.<div>


    And now, there were millions.


    Millions of fierce beasts running wildly, such power was beyond terrifying, absolutely formidable to the extreme.


    Even the divine spirits like Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and Xiao Xiong changed their expressions.


    Although they were divine spirit powerhouses, unafraid of the millions-strong beast tide, their subordinates, the Saint Realm Elders, Supreme Elders, and even Saint Realm tenyer ancestors, would undoubtedly be sted to pieces if hit by this tide!


    The Saint Realm might be powerful, but definitely not strong enough to withstand the impact force of the millions-strong beast tide.


    Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and other ancestors trembled as they saw the millions-strong beast tide rushing over from the horizon.


    However, just as everyone thought Wu Peng would retreat, suddenly, Wu Peng roared with a long howl, ¡°Commanders of the four great sects, kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°Kill the Azure Thunder Python, the Iceme Kylin!¡±


    ¡°After killing the two Beast Gods, divide their flesh and blood!¡±


    ¡°Kill all disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    With a fierce expression, Wu Peng rose into the air, and the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword in his hand stabbed towards Yang Xiaotian.


    This was his all-out strike.


    With his divine spirit power infused, the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword emitted a radiance that directly pointed at Yang Xiaotian.


    He knew that if he did not kill Yang Xiaotian at this moment, he might never have another chance to do so in the future.


    Yang Xiaotian, a mere Martial Ancestor, was already this terrifying. If allowed to continue growing, in a few years, there would be nothing the Sky-Stepping Sect could do about him.


    Today, no matter what, he had to cut down Yang Xiaotian first.


    As long as Yang Xiaotian was in, then even the loss of many in the Saint Realm would be worth it.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others reacted and also thrust their swords towards Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Seventeen divine spirit powerhouses acted at the same time, their power causing heaven and earth to crumble.


    The space seemed as if it would be sliced into countless pieces by their sword qi, disturbing vast areas of the void.


    Seeing Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others move to kill Yang Xiaotian, all the powerhouses were immensely shaken.


    ¡°A battle that shocks the world!¡± the sect ancestors eximed in shock.<div>


    Seventeen divine spirits, battling two Beast Gods!


    Such a battle that shocks the world was unprecedented!


    Since the establishment of the Divine Dragon Empire, there had never been such a world-shocking battle.


    This battle would certainly be remembered in the history of the Empire.


    It would certainly shake all the great empires.


    Li Hong was also parched and his throat was dry.


    Everyone¡¯s heart was in their throat.


    Boom!


    The Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python both acted.


    The entire body of the Iceme Kylin turned into a sea of icy blue mes.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s entire body surged with thunder and lightning, transforming into a vast sea of thunder.<div>


    The two great Beast Gods simultaneously made their move, with a sea of blue mes and thunder targeting Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and their seventeen people.


    Li Zhengqing also let out a long howl, ¡°All disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, heed mymand and activate the True Dragon Great Array with all your might!¡± Having said that, he thrust his long sword forward.


    The Tyrant Dragon¡¯s massive w also came crashing down towards Wu Peng and the others.


    ¡°Activate the True Dragon Great Array!¡± Hu Nan roared.


    As the True Dragon Great Array was activated once again.


    The Array¡¯s light surged instantly as the power of the Iceme Qilin, Wu Peng, and others collided.


    Earth-shattering booms echoed incessantly.


    Everyone felt as though heaven and earth suddenly contracted, with a moment of hesitation.


    Under this strike, it seemed as though heaven and earth themselves were about to be torn apart.


    Even the powerhouses from the various sects, who had already retreated far enough, were still left with a buzzing in their heads from the impact, feeling as if their bodies were about to be blown away.


    Everyone was shocked.


    Sword Qi soared into the sky above, raging wantonly, while the forces of ice, fire, and thunder obscured the sun; the sky darkened as if it had entered a dark abyss for a brief moment.


    Even Li Hong, the Green Lotus Tower Master, turned pale at the sight of such grand power.<div>


    He considered himself unparalleled in the Sword Dao and could even fight demigods, but faced with the divine power of the Iceme Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, Wu Peng, and others, he realized how insignificant he was.


    Under the impact of the power of the Iceme Qilin, Wu Peng, and the others, even Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and other Saints were sent flying.


    The True Dragon Great Array was also dimmed once more by the impact.


    Within the Array, disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were also shaken so violently they tumbled through the air.


    Fortunately, the power of the Array was there to defend them, otherwise, under this strike, who knows how many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect would have been killed.


    The Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, along with Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, were also sent staggering back repeatedly.


    Though the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were incredibly powerful, stronger than Wu Peng and Tang Hong individually, their side only had four Divine Beasts,pared to the seventeen on the opposing side.


    Therefore, following the battle, the Iceme Qilin and their group were at an absolute disadvantage.


    Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon were even bleeding from the corners of their mouths.


    Seeing that his initial strike had repelled the Iceme Qilin and their group, Wu Peng roared again, ¡°Kill them!¡±


    With a wave of his Sky-Stepping Divine Sword, a myriad of Sword Qi erupted.


    The Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, the two great Beast Gods, roared and met the onught head-on.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body was covered with runes like the shell of the ck Tortoise, yet even under the absolute defense of the ck Tortoise Beast Martial Soul, he was still shaken by the power of Wu Peng and the others to the point of spitting blood.<div>


    He knew that with his current strength, he could not participate in the battle of divine beings, so he retreated back within the True Dragon Great Array.


    Then, the powers of the Iceme Qilin, Wu Peng, and the others collided again.


    The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect were constantly shaken back, spitting blood incessantly.


    Hu Nan roared, ¡°All disciples form the Sword Array and defend the True Dragon Great Array at all costs!¡±


    One by one, the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect began to form their formations, converging their powers, and sending Sword Qi soaring into the sky.


    However, after Wu Peng and the othersunched their third attack, the myriad beast horde finally arrived.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, the two great Beast Gods, roared as they saw the myriad beast horde split into two.


    They formed two tidal waves of beasts, each swirling around the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    When the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python attacked once more, thebined power of the two beast tidal waves also bombarded Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others.


    Everyone watched as Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and their group, who originally had the upper hand, were now repelled and fell into a disadvantage instead!


    The experts from the various sects were deeply shaken by this turn of events.


    No one had expected that the power of the myriad beast horde could be utilized in such a manner.


    ¡°The power of the myriad beast horde converges, so supremely powerful!¡± Li Hong eximed.


    The side of the Iceme Qilin only had four Divine Beasts, at aplete disadvantage in terms of strength, but with the addition of the myriad beast horde¡¯s power, they had gained the upper hand.


    ¡°Father, who do you think will win this battle?¡± Li Jianghu asked, swallowing hard.

 Chapter 266: 266: Forbidden Curse Technique

    Chapter 266: Forbidden Curse Technique


    Li Hong shook his head and remained silent.


    The existence of an Iceme Qilin was beyond their capacity to fathom.


    Feeling the overwhelming Divine Spirit power of the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, the only thing in Li Hong¡¯s heart was shock.


    He nced in the direction of Yang Xiaotian, his face aplex tapestry of emotions, and eximed, ¡°We truly were blind to diamonds!¡±


    At that moment, the Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, Blood Prison deman, and Thousand Snakes Sword Master also led their experts in a fierce battle against Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and others.


    To be exact, it was tens of thousands of experts from the Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, and Thousand Snakes Manor surrounding and attacking over a thousand Saints from the four Supreme Sects.


    As the Barefoot Elder Demon, Zhao Jinzhou, and others fought fiercely, their power, though not as destructive as the Iceme Qilin or Wu Peng, was still reversing the cosmos, reversing Yin Yang, and shattering the universe.


    With a single punch from the Barefoot Elder Demon, demonic mes surged, sting through countless mountains and leveling innumerable forests.


    With a single strike from the Blood Prison deman, the Qi of the bloody de transformed into a roiling sea of blood, ughtering countless beings as if the blood prison descended upon them.


    Powerful beings from all sides watched, their emotions surging, overflowing, and shocked, their faces turning pale.<div>


    The forces of the Iceme Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, Wu Peng, and others shook one kingdom after another, engulfing city after city of various empires.


    Grand arrays of city after city within the empires were activated.


    Countless experts trembled in submission.


    The Imperial Capital.


    Long Jiyi and Long Lan also became aware of the shocking battle at the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    When they learned that Yang Xiaotian was the mysterious Lord Long, and that the Iceme Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, and Thousand Snakes Manor had all submitted to him, both were so shocked they were at a loss for words for a long time.


    Soon, this battle stirred the entire Divine Dragon Empire.


    The news of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Ancient Divine Pce, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and Mahayana Divine Sect¡ªthe four Supreme Sects with seventeen Divine Spirits fighting two Beast Gods¡ªspread, causing an uproar throughout the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Before long, astounding auras from Heavenly Zen Temple, Green Divine Sect, and Tianchen Pavilion soared into the sky.


    ¡°A battle that shocks the world!¡±


    ¡°Hurry to the True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    Almost all the powerful beings in the Divine Dragon Empire rushed at full speed toward the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Some were trying to fish in troubled waters, some aimed to make matters even more chaotic, while others simply wished to watch the battle, as such a world-shattering event was rare in ten thousand years.


    Not long after, numerous figures in the sky above the Imperial Capital surged towards the True Dragon Divine Sect at top speed. Leading them was Long Jiyi and Long Lan with the Divine Dragon Army.


    The Divine Dragon Army was the strongest legion of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Dragon Army!¡±


    Upon seeing Long Jiyi and Long Lan mobilize the Divine Dragon Army, the warriors from various sects within the Imperial Capital changed their expressions dramatically.


    ¡°When was thest time the Divine Dragon Army left the Imperial Capital? Must have been several thousand years, right?¡±


    ¡°Thest time the Divine Dragon Army left the Imperial Capital was over three thousand years ago!¡±<div>


    Some Sect Ancestors eximed in surprise.


    The Divine Dragon Army wouldn¡¯t leave the Imperial Capital if it weren¡¯t for a major event.


    Just as Long Jiyi and Long Lan led the Divine Dragon Army, Wu Peng and the others from the True Dragon Divine Sect were growing more rmed as the battle intensified. They hadn¡¯t anticipated that with the power of a myriad of beast tides aiding the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, theirbat strength would rise to such an astonishing level.


    Originally, they had aplete advantage, but now, with the power of the myriad of beast tides, they were being forced to continuously retreat.<div>


    The power of the myriad of beast tides was like an endless ocean, merging into a single entity.


    The more they fought, the more frustrated they became.


    Wu Peng nced at Zhao Jinzhou and others who were struggling against the siege by the four forces of the Phantom Sea Demon Sect. He saw Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and the others in grave danger, most already bearing injuries, with some even lying on the ground.


    If the battle continued, more Saints from the four Sects would undoubtedly fall.


    Seeing this, Wu Peng was even more uncontroble with rage.


    He looked furiously towards Yang Xiaotian within the True Dragon Great Array and swung his sword, crying out, ¡°Block them for me!¡± Then he transformed into a beam of Sword Qi, shooting straight at Yang Xiaotian inside the array.


    This battle, he swore to kill Yang Xiaotian!


    As Wu Peng made his move, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong and others went all out,unching attacks at the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, attempting to stop the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    If they could just hold back the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python for a moment, Wu Peng would be able to kill Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Wu Peng¡¯s Sword Qi was about to pierce through the True Dragon Great Array and strike Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a chilling voice rang out, ¡°Freeze the Nine Realms!¡± A terrifying tide of icy blue light enveloped Wu Peng at an rming speed.


    Seeing the sky filled with icy blue light, Wu Peng was shocked and wielded the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword, unleashing myriads of Sword Qi towards the icy blue light.


    But it was useless, his myriad Sword Qi were constantly being sealed by the icy blue light.


    The icy blue light did not slow down.<div>


    Seeing this, Wu Peng eximed in shock and anger, ¡°A Forbidden Curse Technique!¡±


    A Forbidden Curse Technique was a supernatural power.


    Only a Super Divine Beast could exert such power.


    In the midst of rm, Wu Peng repeatedly retreated, while Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong and the others, seeing this, also attacked the icy blue light.


    Under the full force of the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s four great Sects and their Divine Spirit Realm power, the icy blue light from the Iceme Qilin eventually dissipated.


    Even so, Wu Peng was still shaken to the core.


    The Forbidden Curse Technique of the Super Divine Beast was even more terrifying than he had imagined; had Tang Hong and the others not joined forces just now, it was uncertain whether he could have dodged it.


    ¡°Thunder Explosion!¡± Just as Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others barely blocked the icy blue light from the Iceme Qilin, suddenly, a cold voice came from the Azure Thunder Python, saying, ¡°Explode the Thunder!¡± Divine thunder descended from the Nine Heavens towards Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the rest.


    As these divine thunders struck, they suddenly burst.


    The faces of Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others changed.


    This Thunder Explosion was exactly the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s Forbidden Curse Technique.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Having just experienced the horror of the Iceme Qilin¡¯s Forbidden Curse Technique, Wu Peng, without thinking, retreated along with Tang Hong and the others.


    No sooner had they retreated than they saw the power of the Thunder Explosion bombarding the ground.<div>


    In an instant, lightning vapors rose, and the ground within a hundred miles was sted away.


    ¡°Brother Wu Peng, we should retreat for now!¡± Divine Spirit Ancestor Xiao Xiong from the Ancient Divine Pce couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Wu Peng looked around and saw that the Divine Spirit Ancestors from the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect and the others also showed a cowardly expression. He sighed inwardly, knowing the fight could no longer continue, and Yang Xiaotian could not be killed.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± He roared.


    No mater how unwilling he was, he now had no choice but to withdraw first.


    With that, he suddenlyunched a sword strike at the Barefoot Elder Demon.


    He had a strong urge to kill the Barefoot Elder Demon.


    However, as soon as he swung his sword, it was blocked by the Iceme Qilin.


    Seeing this, Wu Peng could only retreat.


    Zhao Jinzhou, Jiu Wu, and others had long lost the will to fight and, seeing this, they broke through the encirclement and fled.


    The Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, of course, did not miss the opportunity, and struck at the Saints from the four great Sects.


    In the end, the four great Sects were left with dozens of dead bodies.


    The masters from the various Supreme Sects saw the result with sighs, who could have thought that the alliance of the four great Sects of the Sky-Stepping Sect would end in retreat.<div>


    However, upon seeing the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, their eyes were filled with even more fear.


    ¡°Young master, should we just go straight to the Sky-Stepping Sect and kill them?¡± The Iceme Qilin, having returned to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, said with a surging killing intent.

 Chapter 267: 267 Return to Divine Sea Country

    Chapter 267: Return to Divine Sea Country


    ¡°`


    Charge at Sky-Stepping Sect!


    Upon hearing the murderous promation of the Iceme Qilin, everyone¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the True Dragon Divine Sect, now unrecognizable in its destruction, and felt a towering rage within him. He approached his parents, ¡°Father, Mother, how are you?¡±


    ¡°We are fine,¡± Yang Chao and Huang Ying shook their heads.


    Just now, they and Yang Ling¡¯er had ingested elixirs, so their injuries were not serious.


    Knowing that his family¡¯s injuries were minor, Yang Xiaotian turned to look in the direction of Wu Peng and others¡¯ escape and coldly said, ¡°Kill!¡± With that, he leaped up andnded on the head of the Azure Thunder Python.


    The Azure Thunder Python, carrying Yang Xiaotian, soared into the sky.


    The Iceme Qilin closely followed behind.


    Millions of beasts, Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, Thousand Snakes Manor all followed suit.<div>


    Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon also joined the pursuit.


    Seeing this, powers from all sides gasped in shock.


    This was a battle that would shatter the heavens and split the earth!


    ¡°If the fight continues, I fear the Empire itself will be bombed through!¡± an elder of a Sect trembled as he spoke.


    The battle had just affected countless mountains, forests, and rivers due to the sh of energies from the two Beast Gods and others, all now obliterated and vanished.


    ¡°Quick, let¡¯s follow them!¡± Some Sect elders, however, were excited and followed.


    Disciples of Sky-Stepping Sect always considered themselves the foremost Sect under heaven, arrogant and despotic, bullying and high-handed, striking any Sect they wished and tormenting any they chose. Today was a rare asion to see Sky-Stepping Sect defeated, so naturally, they wanted to witness its abject humiliation.


    Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Wu Peng, piloting the Imperial Sea Divine Ark, fled. Seeing that Yang Xiaotian, along with the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin, was still relentlessly chasing him, couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of anger.


    ¡°One day, I will eradicate every single disciple of True Dragon Divine Sect!¡±


    ¡°I will slice off the flesh of Yang Xiaotianyer byyer!¡±


    Wu Peng¡¯s murderous intent peaked.


    ¡°Do we turn and fight?¡± Tang Hong saw that Yang Xiaotian was still doggedly chasing them and was also furious.


    He had never felt so humiliated and pathetic.


    Wu Peng¡¯s eyes were cold: ¡°He wants to chase? Then let him chase! Later, we¡¯ll lead him into our Sky-Stepping Divine Formation!¡±


    As soon as they returned to Sky-Stepping Sect, they could lure Yang Xiaotian and others into the Sky-Stepping Divine Formation, and Wu Peng was confident he could wipe them outpletely.


    The Sky-Stepping Divine Formation and the Divine Dragon Great Formation of the Divine Dragon Capital were the two strongest Godly Formations in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Once Yang Xiaotian and the others entered the Sky-Stepping Divine Formation, even if the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python had unimaginable strength, they couldn¡¯t escape.


    Not to mention the likes of Phantom Sea Demon Sect, Assassin Tower, Azure Blood Sect, Thousand Snakes Manor.


    ¡°Good, we¡¯ll lure them into the Sky-Stepping Divine Formation and ensure Yang Xiaotian and his people have no chance of returning!¡± Tang Hong¡¯s eyes also gleamed with a deadly intent.<div>


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and his group pursued relentlessly until they neared the gates of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    However, upon approaching the gates of the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin stopped.


    ¡°Young Master, the gates of Sky-Stepping Sect are just ahead,¡± the Azure Thunder Python spoke thoughtfully. ¡°The Sky-Stepping Divine Formation is one of the Empire¡¯s two greatest Godly Formations. Once Wu Peng activates it, even we may not be certain of getting out.¡±


    ¡°Sky-Stepping Divine Formation!¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned as he looked towards the undting mountains of the Sky-Stepping Sect.<div>


    ¡°Even with yourbined efforts and the onught of millions of beasts, the Sky-Stepping Divine Formation cannot be broken?¡± he inquired.


    The Iceme Qilin shook its head, ¡°The Sky-Stepping Divine Formation is an all-in-one Godly Formation designed for offense, defense, and entrapment. Once activated, it can more than double the strength of Wu Peng and the others.¡±


    More than double?


    Wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to thirty-four Divine Spirits?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened.


    He clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said coldly, ¡°Bombard the surroundings of Sky-Stepping Sect a hundred times!¡±


    ¡°`


    Thus, the deafening sounds of a heaven-shaking barrage kept erupting.


    Wu Peng and the others, hearing the relentless bombardment outside the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s gates, couldn¡¯t help but look unsightly.


    Only after the Iceme Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, and others had destroyed the area a hundred times over did Yang Xiaotian finally lead everyone away.


    After a long while, when Wu Peng and the others emerged from the Sky-Stepping Sect, they were livid, only to see that outside the mountain gatesy a series of terrifying abysses, an endless sight.


    From then on, the disciples of the Sky-Stepping Sect would have no choice but to fly if they wished to enter or leave the mountain gates.


    For the ground, there was no longer any path to tread.<div>


    ¡°Contact the Green Sea God Sect and the Four States Imperial Family for me!¡± Wu Peng said, suppressing a surge of raging fury.


    Night had finally fallen.


    It was now deep autumn, and there was a chill in the air.


    Yang Xiaotian had already returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    He stood in the skies above Heaven-Prating Peak, looking at the many pces and mountains of the True Dragon Divine Sect that had been destroyed, his whole body radiating an aura of grim resolve.


    He swore that one day, he would personally y Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and the seventeen Divine Spirits.


    However, the battle today had made Yang Xiaotian acutely aware of his own weakness.


    Although his cultivation speed had far surpassed that of his peers, facing Divine Spirit Realm beings like Wu Peng, he was still too weak.


    His strength needed to increase, increase, and then increase some more!


    Next, he must first bring his two Supreme Martial Spirits to the level of the Supreme King Martial Spirit.


    But, thinking of the million-year-old Soul Beast, he still felt a headache, where could he now find the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water?


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian stayed at Heaven-Prating Peak, diligently cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, the Thunderp Nine Heavens, and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating, Hu Nan, Long Jiyi, and Long Lan all paid him visits.<div>


    Hu Nan mentioned Liu Ping, assuring Yang Xiaotian that he would certainly y that vile woman himself in the future!


    Recalling how he often crossed swords with that vile woman over the years, Hu Nan grew increasingly disgusted the more he thought about it.


    When Long Jiyi and Long Lan saw Yang Xiaotian again, they both had mixed feelings. Previously, they had always regarded Yang Xiaotian as a junior, but since the shocking battle, they dared not treat him as a junior anymore.


    However, upon leaving, both extended hearty invitations to Yang Xiaotian to visit the Imperial Pce.


    Yang Xiaotian could only nod in agreement, saying he would visit when he had time.


    But for now, all he wanted to do was cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate some more.


    Autumn gave way to winter.


    Before they knew it, the cold winter had arrived.


    The True Dragon Divine Sect was covered in white snow.


    Another year had passed, and it was the New Year.


    On New Year¡¯s Day, Yang Xiaotian did not cultivate but spent a joyful day with his family at Heaven-Prating Peak.


    After the New Year, Yang Xiaotian turned twelve years old.


    Due to his habitual consumption of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and practice of the Primordial Dragon Art, he was taller than other children his age, standing over one meter sixty, and his figure was tall and straight, his appearance handsome and extraordinary.<div>


    His eyes were even more like stars, profound and deep.


    Two monthster, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation broke through to thete tenthyer of the Martial Ancestor realm, drawing ever closer to the Martial Emperor Realm.


    Yet, what frustrated Yang Xiaotian was that Tian Zhengyi and the others still had not found any news about the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water.


    One day, Huang Ying came to find Yang Xiaotian, hesitating as she spoke, ¡°Xiaotian, your father and I have been away for a few years now, and we would like to go back to the Divine Sea Country for a visit.¡±


    ¡°Go back to the Divine Sea Country?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    Huang Ying nodded, ¡°In a few days, it will be your grandpa¡¯s sixtieth birthday, and I haven¡¯t seen your grandfather in some years. I¡¯m worried about him and would like to visit.¡±

 Chapter 268: 268: Sister Jingyi

    Chapter 268: Sister Jingyi


    Hearing that it was his grandfather¡¯s sixtieth birthday, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to Divine Sea Country with you.¡±


    It had been some years since he had seen his grandfather.


    In his memory, his grandfather was very good to him, always buying lots of candy for him and his sister whenever they visited.


    He also wanted to go back and see how Divine Sword Academy was doing, as he was still the Hall Master of the Sword Hall there.


    He wondered what Divine Sword Academy was like now.


    Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat emotional.


    He still clearly remembered the scene when Chen Yuan had taken him from Yang Family Manor to Divine Sword Academy.


    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.


    Huang Ying was very happy to hear that her son would return to Divine Sea Country with her, and she said with a smile, ¡°Good, I¡¯ll go back right now to prepare with your father. We¡¯ll return to Divine Sea Country tomorrow.¡±


    Seeing his mother¡¯s joyous demeanor, Yang Xiaotian smiled.<div>


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian, apanied by his mother, departed from True Dragon Divine Sect and began their journey back to Divine Sea Country.


    However, his sister Yang Ling¡¯er had entered a secret realm for training just a few days earlier and wouldn¡¯t return for a month, so she couldn¡¯t join them back to Divine Sea Country this time.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t bring many people with him, just Wu Qi, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and of course, Xiao Jin.


    Xiao Jin, Wu Qi, and Luo Qing were among the first to follow him.


    Knowing they were returning to Divine Sea Country, Xiao Jin was the happiest, with its tail nearly always held high.


    Since there was no rush, the group chatted andughed, enjoying thendscapes and waters along the way back to Divine Sea Country.


    By the time the group arrived at Divine Sea Royal City, it had already grown dark.


    The lights were justing on.


    On the streets of Divine Sea Royal City, there was a bustling crowd, with merchants and foot soldiers, all very lively.


    True Dragon Divine Sect was like a paradise on earth, with its mountains and Spirit Beasts, while Divine Sea Royal City, in everyone¡¯s eyes now, seemed no different than the mortal world.


    But the streets of the mundane Divine Sea Royal City had their own unique beauty.


    Yang Xiaotian andpany walked along the streets of the Royal City, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar shops on both sides.


    ¡°Father, let¡¯s stay in the Royal City for the night today and continue our journey tomorrow,¡± Yang Xiaotian suggested.


    Yang Chao nodded.


    Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing to find a ce to stay.


    As Yang Xiaotian and his group were passing by a small teahouse, they saw several beautiful womening out.


    The woman in the lead was dressed in a light ck silk gown, coldly morous and charming. There was a faint worry between her brows, as if she was troubled by something, but it only made her seem more pitiable.


    Seeing the woman, Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°Jingyi sister.¡±


    The woman was none other than Wen Jingyi from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild.<div>


    Although they hadn¡¯t seen each other for several years, Wen Jingyi¡¯s appearance hadn¡¯t changed much. She looked even more mature and was even fairer.


    Wen Jingyi, lost in thought, heard someone call out ¡®Jingyi sister¡¯, and looked up at Yang Xiaotian in confusion and surprise.


    Several years had passed and Yang Xiaotian had grown from a little kid to a young adolescent, his appearance considerably changed, so she failed to recognize him at first.


    She just felt that the handsome young man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.<div>


    However, when she saw Wu Qi next to Yang Xiaotian, she realized who it was, and her pretty face lit up with surprise. Covering her mouth, she excitedly said, ¡°You¡¯re little brother!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°I thought sister had forgotten me.¡±


    Seeing that it was indeed Yang Xiaotian, Wen Jingyi felt joy descending from the heavens; her face lit up with exceptional happiness, and she stepped forward excitedly, ¡°Little brother, it really is you! You¡¯ve grown up so much!¡±


    She was so excited that shepared her jade hand to the top of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    In the past, Yang Xiaotian was only as tall as her chest.


    Several years had passed, and now Yang Xiaotian was as tall as she was.


    With Wen Jingyi right before him, a woman¡¯s fragrance wafted into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s nose, and he couldn¡¯t help but recall the charming scenes when they once rode a horse together.


    The scent of Wen Jingyi¡¯s body was even more pleasant than before.


    After the excitement, Wen Jingyi suddenly realized her actions were a bit too intimate, her pretty face flushed red; she turned to greet Yang Chao and Huang Ying: ¡°Uncle, Aunt.¡±


    She had met Yang Chao and Huang Ying back in the Royal City years ago.


    ¡°Miss Wen,¡± Huang Ying said with a nod and a smile, looking at the stunningly beautiful Wen Jingyi before her.


    Back in Xingyue City, she had heard of Wen Jingyi¡¯s renowned beauty.


    ¡°Little brother, where have you been all these years? You didn¡¯t evene to see your sister,¡± Wen Jingyi looked at Yang Xiaotian with a touch of wistful longing.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian felt a bit embarrassed by Wen Jingyi¡¯s longing gaze: ¡°I haven¡¯t been in Divine Sea Country these past few years, but I have often thought of sister,¡± he said.


    That was indeed true.


    asionally, Yang Xiaotian would remember riding on the same horse with Wen Jingyi.


    When Yang Xiaotian said he often thought of her, Wen Jingyi felt delighted inside, and sheughed, ¡°Really? You do have a conscience.¡±


    Yang Chao stood aside, watching his son and Wen Jingyi exchange pleasantries, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel moved, thinking this young man was charming to both the young and the old.


    Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian was looking for a ce to stay, Wen Jingyi offered warmly, ¡°Little brother, Aunt, if you don¡¯t mind, you could stay at my house, there are plenty of rooms there.¡±


    ¡°Sure, then we¡¯ll impose on sister,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian agree, Wen Jingyi was very pleased and then excitedly invited Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and Huang Ying to her house.


    ¡°Little brother, your skin is so nice. Do you still have that wine?¡± Wen Jingyi asked Yang Xiaotian with a smile along the way.


    Yang Xiaotian immediately took out tworge bottles and gave them to Wen Jingyi.


    Wen Jingyi treasured them like precious jewels, carefully storing the wine away.


    However, just as they were heading to Wen Jingyi¡¯s house, they saw a group of people approaching them face-to-face.


    Seeing this group of people, Wen Jingyi¡¯s face, still full of smiles just a moment ago, stiffened.<div>


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Miss Jingyi? Where might Miss Jingyi be going?¡± The young man leading the opposite group saw Wen Jingyi and was all smiles as he walked over, blocking the way forward for Yang Xiaotian and Wen Jingyi.


    ¡°Tu Kang, where our missus is going is none of your business. Get out of the way!¡± the maid following Wen Jingyi said with disgust and anger as she looked at the young man.


    Upon hearing this, Tu Kang sneered, ¡°You¡¯re nothing but a lowly servant; it¡¯s not your ce to speak here.¡± He then said, ¡°If you utter another ¡®get out¡¯, believe it or not, I¡¯ll have someone strip you naked right now!¡±


    The maids behind Wen Jingyi were so angry that their faces turned livid.


    ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Wen Jingyi coldly stared at the man, speaking up.


    Seeing Wen Jingyi¡¯s anger, Tu Kang smiled, ¡°Miss Jingyi looks so beautiful even when she¡¯s angry.¡± He couldn¡¯t help reaching out his hand, intending to touch Wen Jingyi¡¯s face.


    However, his hand was barely halfway there when Yang Xiaotian grabbed it firmly.


    Tu Kang was taken aback and tried to pull his hand back, only to find that he couldn¡¯t budge it, and he red at Yang Xiaotian furiously, ¡°Kid, who are you? Do you know who I am?¡±


    ¡°Oh, who are you?¡± Yang Xiaotian said expressionlessly, he applied pressure to the hand, and Tu Kang¡¯s fingers cracked loudly, causing Tu Kang so much pain that his face was contorted.


    Seeing this, Tu Kang¡¯s group of subordinates was outraged and one of them suddenly threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian.


    The punch whistled through the air, its strength formidable, revealing that the attacker was an Innate of the tenthyer.

 Chapter 269: 269: The Return of the Peerless Four Symbols Spirit Pill

    Chapter 269: The Return of the Peerless Four Symbols Spirit Pill


    ¡°Be careful!¡± Wen Jingyi eximed urgently upon seeing this.


    She knew that the expert by Tu Kang¡¯s side was an Innate Stage Tenth Level practitioner.


    However, just as she was about to make a move, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian extended his hand and grabbed the fist of Tu Kang¡¯s expert.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian twisted his wrist, and the opponent¡¯s arm was directly twisted into a corkscrew shape.


    Yang Xiaotian kicked the man, sending him flying away.


    Wen Jingyi was stunned.


    The maids behind her were also greatly surprised.


    Clearly, none of them had expected that this boy, who appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, could possess such strength.


    Seeing the expert by his side kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, Tu Kang was also taken aback, and as Yang Xiaotian continued to exert force, Tu Kang¡¯s fingers kept on cracking.


    ¡°Let go!¡± Tu Kang¡¯s face turned purple with pain, ¡°It¡¯s broken!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian continued to apply pressure, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard from Tu Kang¡¯s fingers.


    ¡°Only now is it broken,¡± said Yang Xiaotian, giving a shove that sent Tu Kang crashing into his followers behind him, causing a chaotic mess.


    It took a while before Tu Kang managed to stand up from the ground. He looked at Yang Xiaotian in shock, fear, and anger, holding his hand, which was now numb from pain, after being crushed by Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Kid, you just wait!¡± Tu Kang hissed through clenched teeth, ¡°If you¡¯ve got the guts, don¡¯t leave the Royal City!¡±


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll wait,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied with an indifferent smile.


    Tu Kang and his followers hastily fled the scene, disappearing at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.


    Yang Xiaotian and Wen Jingyi continued on their way to the mansion.


    In the middle of the journey, Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°Sister, who is that Tu Kang?¡±


    Wen Jingyi said with a worried face, ¡°He is the son of the President of the Wangchun Commerce Association, and his father is Tu Xing.¡±


    ¡°Wangchun Commerce Association?¡± Xiao Jin couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Why not call it Jiaochun Commerce Association? I think Jiaochun Commerce Association sounds much nicer.¡±


    Jiaochun?


    Wen Jingyi and the maids behind her all chuckled softly.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions also smiled.


    After theughter, Wen Jingyi still wore a worried expression as she said, ¡°Brother, you might not have heard of Wangchun Commerce Association, but over the past few years, it has risen very quickly. It has recruited arge number of experts and is now one of the majormerce guilds in the Divine Sea Country.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, the Wangchun Commerce Association has a powerful backing.¡±


    Thinking of Wangchun Commerce Association¡¯s backing, Wen Jingyi became even more concerned.


    ¡°A backing?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yes, the Wangchun Commerce Association¡¯s backing is our Divine Sea Country¡¯s Second Prince Cheng Long,¡± Wen Jingyi said gravely.


    ¡°Cheng Long?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised, then smiled. He and Cheng Long, along with his sister Cheng Beibei, were old acquaintances.<div>


    Wen Jingyi nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, Cheng Long!¡± Seeing that Yang Xiaotian did not seem concerned, she earnestly continued, ¡°Brother, you may not know, but Cheng Long is not only the Second Prince of our Divine Sea Country, he is also a disciple of Wang Fan, the Grand Medicine Hall Master of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom!¡±


    Wang Fan!


    At this information, Yang Xiaotian was somewhat surprised; he hadn¡¯t expected Cheng Long to have Wang Fan as his mentor.


    He recalled seeing Cheng Long previously at the Grand Medicine Hall of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.<div>


    It made sense why Cheng Long would be in the Grand Medicine Hall of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.


    ¡°Ever since Cheng Long became a disciple of Wang Fan, he has been outrageously arrogant. I¡¯ve heard that even our King now dares not to control him,¡± a maid behind Wen Jingyi said indignantly, ¡°Wangchun Commerce Association often sends people to cause trouble at our Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, even going so far as to rob our guild¡¯s merchant caravans.¡±


    ¡°Wangchun Commerce Association dares to do this because they have Cheng Long backing them up!¡±


    Wen Jingyi felt helpless thinking about the matter.


    Just a few days ago, a merchant caravan of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild had been robbed by the Wangchun Commerce Association.


    This cargo was her responsibility.


    Now that the goods had been robbed, she had to bear the primary responsibility.


    The President of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild had asked her to retrieve the goods.


    However, when she went to see Tu Xing from the Wangchun Commerce Association yesterday, not only did he refuse to admit it, but he also nearly detained her in his residence.


    These past two days, she had been troubled by this matter.


    Unknowingly, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions arrived at Wen Jingyi¡¯s mansion.


    Wen Jingyi personally arranged a ce for Yang Xiaotian and his party to stay.


    Nightfall.<div>


    Moonlight poured down like water.


    Wen Jingyi came to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard, saw him reading, and asked with a smile, ¡°Little brother is still reading? I hope I haven¡¯t disturbed you?¡±


    ¡°Not at all,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head and set the book in his hands aside.


    He had recently been searching for books about the Lord of Azure God.


    This book mentioned the deeds of the Lord of Azure God.


    Wen Jingyi approached Yang Xiaotian, wearing a light ck sheer dress tonight that splendidly showcased the curves of her marvelous figure, which was, of course, extremely enticing under the veil of night.


    Her hair was still wet, apparently just after a shower, emitting a faint fragrance.


    Yang Xiaotian cleared his throat and said, ¡°I heard from Xiao Lan that the caravan goods you were in charge of were robbed by the Jiaochun Commerce Association a few days ago.¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian call it the Jiaochun Commerce Association, Wen Jingyi couldn¡¯t help but giggle ceaselessly, like a rose blooming instantly in the night.


    Once Wen Jingyi had finally stoppedughing, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the Jiaochun Commerce Association tomorrow and ask them to return the goods to sister.¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian still calling it the Jiaochun Commerce Association, Wen Jingyi wanted tough again. However, hearing Yang Xiaotian say he would have the Wangchun Commerce Association return the goods, she shook her head and said, ¡°Little brother, I appreciate your sentiment.¡±


    She understood that Yang Xiaotian wanted to take her worries upon himself, but she knew the Wangchun Commerce Association was very powerful and didn¡¯t want Yang Xiaotian to get into trouble by meddling in these murky waters.


    Yang Xiaotian was aware of Wen Jingyi¡¯s thoughts and said with a smile, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry, I know Cheng Long.¡±<div>


    Wen Jingyi was astonished, ¡°Little brother knows Cheng Long?¡±


    ¡°I do,¡± Yang Xiaotian answered, blinking.


    ¡°Very well?¡± Wen Jingyi was half in doubt.


    ¡°Very well!¡± Yang Xiaotian responded with augh.


    Then, he didn¡¯t continue the topic and instead said, ¡°Sister must have cultivated to the peak of the Innate tenth level by now, right? I have a few elixirs here that you can take for your cultivation.¡±


    He took out several medicine bottles.


    Wen Jingyi was curious about the elixirs in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s medicine bottles and couldn¡¯t help but open them. Instantly, magnificent light burst forth, and images of four divine beasts flew out, filling the courtyard with the fragrance of the elixirs.


    Seeing the elixirs inside, Wen Jingyi was stunned, ¡°Four Symbols Spirit Pills!¡±


    And they were top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills!


    Ever since that mysterious Lord Long disappeared a few years ago, she hadn¡¯t seen a top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill again, and no such pills had appeared in the Divine Sea Country ever since.


    But now, the top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills were right before her eyes.


    She couldn¡¯t help but look towards the other jade bottles, could it be? Thinking of this, she nervously opened the other bottles.


    All of them contained top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills!<div>


    ¡°Little brother, did you buy these top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills back then?¡± Wen Jingyi asked in shock.


    Back then, that mysterious Lord Long sold twenty top-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pills to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, which then auctioned them off, and a mysterious person bought several pills.


    Wen Jingyi mistakenly thought that these pills were the ones that had been auctioned off back then.

 Chapter 270: 270: Tu Xing, What Do You Want?

    Chapter 270: Tu Xing, What Do You Want?


    Me, bidding?


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head andughed, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell my sister before, I¡¯m an Alchemist and I crafted these supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pills myself.¡±


    Wen Jingyi¡¯s beautiful eyes widened, ¡°You made them?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Xiaotianughed.


    Wen Jingyi suddenly burst intoughter, her body shaking like flowers in the breeze, and then, with a dainty finger, she tapped Yang Xiaotian¡¯s forehead, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just say you¡¯re the reincarnation of the Medicine God.¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°There are people who call me the young Medicine God.¡±


    Wen Jingyi let out another chuckle, ¡°Yes, you are the young Medicine God, my young Medicine God.¡± Herughter was as lovely as pearls dropping on a jade te, exceedingly pleasant to hear.


    However, no matter what, Wen Jingyi refused to ept the few supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pills, iming they were too valuable.


    When Yang Xiaotian had sold the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pills to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild before, one was priced at two hundred thousand Gold Coins, and five amounted to one million Gold Coins. Even for Wen Jingyi, that was a huge sum of money.


    With no other option, Yang Xiaotian could only take the Elixir back.<div>


    Wen Jingyi stayed for a while longer before she left.


    After Wen Jingyi had gone, Yang Xiaotian returned to his room and began cultivating.


    Now, he always carried the Cold Jade Bed from Hong Feng¡¯s cave dwelling with him. He took out the Cold Jade Bed, sat cross-legged on it, and began to operate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Tortoise and ck Dragon Martial Spirits hovered above his head.


    In these days, under the influence of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the evolution of the ck Tortoise and ck Dragon Martial Spirits was rapid.


    ording to the Medicine Cauldron, in another three months, both the ck Tortoise and ck Dragon Martial Spirits would evolve to the level of the Supreme King.


    While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating, at the headquarters of the Wangchun Commerce Association, Tu Xing watched his son Tu Kang¡¯s crushed hand with a gloomy face.


    Today, he had already invited four Pharmacists to examine his son¡¯s hand, all said there was nothing to be done.


    The bones in his son¡¯s hand had beenpletely crushed to dust and couldn¡¯t be restored at all.


    Unless a Holy Medicine could be found, but even their King of Divine Sea Country had not been able to obtain such medicine, let alone him.


    His son¡¯s hand was as good as useless.


    ¡°Wen Jingyi, you wench!¡± Tu Xing¡¯s face was dark as he hissed, ¡°How dare you, a mere Elder of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, cripple my son¡¯s hand!¡±


    ¡°You just wait!¡±


    ¡°I will make sure your entire body is crippled!¡±


    Dawn began to break.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped out of his room, feeling refreshed. He practiced the Thunderp Nine Heavens in the courtyard for a while when he saw Wen Jingyi, dressed in a light ck dress, approaching.


    Wen Jingyi liked wearing ck; every time Yang Xiaotian saw her, she was dressed in ck.


    However, the ck color further entuated the fairness of Wen Jingyi¡¯s skin.


    So fair and tender, it always led to certain fantasies.<div>


    ¡°Little brother, you¡¯re up practicing your sword so early,¡± Wen Jingyi said upon seeing Yang Xiaotian practicing his swordsmanship,ughing, ¡°You seldom visit the Royal City, right? I¡¯ll take you out for breakfast¡ªthere¡¯s a teahouse with delicious offerings.¡±


    ¡°Sure,¡± Yang Xiaotianughed.


    Since there was still time before Grandfather¡¯s sixtieth birthday, staying an extra day in the Royal City wouldn¡¯t matter.


    Hence, Wen Jingyi nned to take Yang Xiaotian and his family to the teahouse for breakfast.<div>


    But just as everyone was about to leave, they saw Wen Jingyi¡¯s maid, Xiao Lan, running over in a panic, saying, ¡°Miss, Tu Xing from the Wangchun Commerce Association brought arge group of people to our guild¡¯s headquarters to cause trouble!¡±


    Hearing that Tu Xing had taken people to cause trouble at the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild headquarters, Wen Jingyi¡¯s heart sank.


    ¡°How many people did they bring?¡± Wen Jingyi took a deep breath and asked.


    ¡°There are over a hundred people, all of them are experts from the Wangchun Commerce Association,¡± Xiao Lan was quite panicked. ¡°As soon as they arrived at the headquarters¡¯ trading hall, they started smashing everything!¡±


    ¡°And they injured people too, hurting many of our guild¡¯s disciples and guards.¡±


    ¡°Now the Chairman and our guild¡¯s experts are in a stand-off with them. However, Tu Xing is shouting that he wants the Chairman to hand over my sister and Young Master Yang to give him and his son an exnation!¡±


    Xiao Lan said this and nced at Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian said to Wen Jingyi, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s head over to the guild first.¡±


    ¡°Little brother, you should not go. It¡¯s enough if I go alone,¡± Wen Jingyi shook her head and said.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I started this mess, I¡¯ll go resolve it.¡± Then he headed towards the headquarters of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild with the others.


    Xiao Jin followed behind Yang Xiaotian, licking its signature lollipop.


    Wu Qi and the others had already grown ustomed to this sight, but Xiao Lan stared curiously at the enormous lollipop in Xiao Jin¡¯s hand. Honestly, it was her first time seeing such a huge lollipop.


    And she didn¡¯t know what it was made from, but it looked so tempting that it made one¡¯s mouth water.<div>


    As Yang Xiaotian and his group were on their way to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild headquarters, at the main hall of the headquarters, Wen Fei was furiously looking at Tu Xing and said, ¡°Tu Xing, what do you want?¡±


    Tu Xing sat on a specially made throne, with one leg propped over the other, coldly saying to Wen Fei, ¡°Your people crippled my son¡¯s hand, and you still ask what I want?¡±


    He then proudly stated, ¡°I¡¯m always very fair. Inpensation, I want one million Gold Coins! And also, hand over that bitch Wen Jingyi and that kid to me!¡±


    The members of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were furious upon hearing this.


    ¡°Tu Xing, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that the recent raids on our guild¡¯s merchant convoys were done by your people!¡± Wen Fei said angrily. ¡°Your people have killed disciples of our guild, so how do we settle this ount?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because the Second Prince has got your back, we have no way of dealing with you!¡±


    Tu Xingughed wildly, ¡°That¡¯s right, the recent raids on your guild¡¯s merchant convoys were carried out by my people.¡± He then chuckled, ¡°Your guild¡¯s disciples were also killed by my people, under my orders.¡±


    ¡°What can you do to me?¡±


    Seeing Tu Xing confess, the experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild drew their weapons in furious indignation.


    Upon seeing this, Tu Xing did not take it to heart and sneered. He said to Wen Fei, ¡°Before you make a move, you better think carefully. I have brought ten Martial Ancestor Experts with me!¡±


    He then pointed at an elder behind him, ¡°This gentleman here is a Martial Ancestor with double the power of ordinary ones!¡±


    Ten Martial Ancestors!


    Martial Ancestor, double power!<div>


    The expressions of Wen Fei and the experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild changed drastically.


    In Divine Sea Country, Martial Ancestor realm experts are considered very rare. Even a singleyer Martial Ancestor realm expert is considered a peerless powerhouse, let alone one with double power.


    Although Wen Fei is the number one expert of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, he is only at theter stages of the Martial Ancestor singleyer realm.


    The entire Wind Cloud Commerce Guild only has three Martial Ancestor realm experts.


    But this time, Tu Xing had brought ten Martial Ancestors with him.


    How did Tu Xing manage to recruit so many Martial Ancestors?


    Wen Fei couldn¡¯t help but think of Cheng Long, standing behind Tu Xing.


    At this moment, Tu Xing chuckled and said, ¡°Wen Fei, I want to see one million in one incense stick¡¯s time! Also, if you do not hand over Wen Jingyi and that kid after one incense stick¡¯s time, don¡¯t me my men for making a move.¡±


    ¡°And don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you, my men have been quite itchy to fighttely, and they don¡¯t know their own strength. If you end up crippled in a while, it won¡¯t be my fault.¡±


    However, just as Tu Xing finished talking, they heard the people outside the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild shouting, ¡°Elder Nine!¡±


    Elder Nine was exactly Wen Jingyi.


    When Tu Xing heard that Wen Jingyi had arrived, his eyes flickered with an excited, bloodthirsty light.


    <div>

 Chapter 271: 271 Let that cheap person come in

    Chapter 271: Let that cheap persone in


    ¡°Let that bitche in!¡± Tu Xing called out to his subordinates waiting outside.


    Therefore, his men did not stop them, allowing Yang Xiaotian, Wen Jingyi, and others to enter.


    However, just as Tu Xing was thinking about how to make Wen Jingyi kneel publicly and lick his toester on, suddenly, a figure shed by. Before he could react, his throat hurt, and he was hoisted off his throne by the neck.


    The sudden change caught everyone off guard.


    By the time everyone came to their senses, they saw Tu Xing being lifted by the neck into mid-air by a young boy of about twelve or thirteen.


    Everyone was stunned.


    The one lifting Tu Xing into the air was none other than Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at him coldly, ¡°What did you just say?¡±


    Tu Xing, hoisted into the air by the neck by Yang Xiaotian, found breathing difficult. He looked at Yang Xiaotian furiously, ¡°Bitch!¡± Before he could speak again, Yang Xiaotian suddenly punched him in the stomach with Asura Force.


    Boom!<div>


    The sound was like a drumbeat.


    Tu Xing felt as if his insides had been turned upside down by the punch.


    The terrifying power of the Asura Force ferociously devastated his internal organs.


    The hell-like pain of a thousand cuts made Tu Xing¡¯s face turn purple, and his eyes even filled with tears.


    Both the masters from the Wangchun Commerce Association and the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were dumbstruck.


    Even Wen Jingyi¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with shock.


    To think that Tu Xing, the president of the Wangchun Commerce Association, who was quite strong, was now being held by the neck by Yang Xiaotian, hammered until he couldn¡¯t fight back.


    She couldn¡¯t believe her brother was so powerful.


    At this moment, the masters from the Wangchun Commerce Association finally reacted.


    The Martial Ancestor of the secondyer, an elderly man, threw a fierce punch at Yang Xiaotian, bellowing loudly, ¡°Boy, put down our president Tu!¡±


    The force of the punch surged wildly.


    ¡°Is he a Martial Ancestor?¡± Wen Jingyi¡¯s pretty face turned pale.


    Just as the punch from the Martial Ancestor was about tond on Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a golden tail swept across, striking him in the chest and sending him flying with a heavy blow.


    When the Martial Ancestor hit the corner of the great hall, he continued to cough up blood, and the bones in his chest were shattered beyond count.


    The crowd gasped and turned to look, only to see that the one who had struck was none other than the Little Gold Beast, licking a lollipop.


    Seeing Little Gold, the maid Xiao Lan was filled with disbelief.


    She was just at the Innate level, and to her, a Martial Ancestor was like the pinnacle of existence.


    Yet this Little Gold Beast, which had been licking a lollipop all along, looking as innocent as a baby, was stronger than a Martial Ancestor?


    Yang Xiaotian paid no attention to the crowd and looked at Tu Xing, speaking coldly, ¡°What did you just say?¡±<div>


    Tu Xing, who had been struck with fear, hatred, and dread, was pallid but tried to sound fierce, ¡°Boy, I belong to the Second Prince, you¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°Oh, you belong to the Second Prince.¡± With that, another punch of Asura Force sted into Tu Xing¡¯s belly.


    Tu Xing convulsed in agony.


    ¡°Kill!¡±<div>


    ¡°Kill that boy for me!¡±


    In the crowd, Tu Kang roared angrily at the high-level members of the Wangchun Commerce Association, ¡°What are you standing there for? Kill that boy!¡±


    Over a hundred high-level members from the Wangchun Commerce Association swarmed towards Yang Xiaotian. With nine Martial Ancestors among them, their might was immense.


    To Wen Fei, Wen Jingyi, and the others, it was an astonishing force.


    However, just as Wen Fei, Wen Jingyi, and the others were about to take action, suddenly, Wu Qi, standing next to Yang Xiaotian, snorted coldly, and hisrge wooden staff crashed down onto the ground.


    A thunderous boom rang out.


    The entire ground of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild trembled.


    Centering around therge wooden staff, murky green ice cold aura swallowed toward the people of Wangchun Commerce Association at a terrifying speed.


    Wherever it passed, all the experts of Wangchun Commerce Association werepletely frozen.


    First their feet, then their bodies, heads.


    Completely encased in ice there.


    In the blink of an eye, over a hundred people from the Wangchun Commerce Association turned into ice sculptures of various poses, including the elder who had just been blown away by Xiao Jin.


    In the end, only Tu Kang and Tu Xing from Wangchun Commerce Association were left unfrozen as ice sculptures.<div>


    Wen Fei and the experts of Wind Cloud Commerce Guild looked at the ice sculptures before them, all shocked and pale.


    One move had frozen over a hundred experts, including ten Martial Ancestors, what kind of strength was this?


    They looked at Wu Qi, unable to conceal their fear.


    Wen Jingyi too was greatly startled.


    She had seen Wu Qi fight before and knew that his strength was not weak, but that was all she knew¡ªthat Wu Qi was not weak.


    But now, Wu Qi had frozen ten Martial Ancestors and over a hundred Wangchun Commerce Association experts with a single move, which was far beyond just being not weak.


    Tu Xing and his son Tu Kang looked at the scene in front of them with faces devoid of color, terrified.


    When the murky green ice cold aura surged to Tu Kang¡¯s feet, Tu Kang was so scared he wet himself, soaking the ground.


    ¡°Did you say you were the Second Prince¡¯s man?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Tu Xing.


    Tu Xing shook his head frantically in terror.


    Yang Xiaotian punched the other¡¯s belly again.


    Tu Xing¡¯s eyes bulged out, almost insensate with pain.


    Yang Xiaotian threw him aside.<div>


    ¡°A few days ago, you had someone hijack Wind Cloud Commerce Guild¡¯s goods, now have them sent back,¡± Yang Xiaotian demanded.


    Tu Xing, writhing in agony, had a look of difficulty on his face.


    That was because the goods previously taken from Wind Cloud Commerce Guild had mostly been presented to the Second Prince, Cheng Long.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian punched him again, scaring Tu Xing into hastily nodding his head, not daring to say another word.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian let Tu Xing leave with orders to return the goods within an hour.


    As for Tu Kang, he was detained.


    Tu Xing staggered out of Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, clutching his crotch, bent over, and fled with a face full of terror.


    He didn¡¯t flee back to Wangchun Commerce Association but towards the Royal Pce. To Tu Xing¡¯s relief, not long after leaving Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, he ran into Cheng Long¡¯s entourage.


    This time, Cheng Long had cordially invited Wang Fan and Liu Shuang from the Pharmacist Hall of Tiandou Academy to visit Divine Sea Royal City. They had just entered the Royal City when they saw someone stumbling from afar, blocking the path of the caravan.


    When Cheng Long realized who it was, he was surprised, ¡°Tu Xing.¡±


    Tu Xing came to the front of Cheng Long¡¯s group, crying torrents of tears, ¡°Second Prince, I finally found you, I almost never saw you again just now.¡±


    Seeing Tu Xing cry so pitifully, Cheng Long frowned, ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Second Prince, it¡¯s Wind Cloud Commerce Guild! People from Wind Cloud Commerce Guild crushed my son¡¯s hand bones yesterday! Today I took men to Wind Cloud Commerce Guild to seek justice, but, I didn¡¯t expect that their strength was terrifying.¡± Tu Xing wore a face full of fear, ¡°One move from his subordinate, and he froze Elder Yan and all of them into ice sculptures!¡±<div>


    ¡°What!¡± Cheng Long was shocked.


    He certainly knew Elder Yan, who was a second-level Martial Ancestor.


    Originally, it was he who had arranged for Elder Yan to be by Tu Xing¡¯s side.


    Then, Tu Xing continued tremblingly, ¡°He told me to send back all the goods that Wind Cloud Commerce Guild lost some time ago within an hour, otherwise, he would kill my son and annihte the Wangchun Commerce Association!¡±


    ¡°Annihte Wangchun Commerce Association?¡± Cheng Long¡¯s face darkened, ¡°Does he know you¡¯re my man?¡±


    ¡°He knows,¡± Tu Xing¡¯s voice trembled.

 Chapter 272: 272 Why Were You Scared Like This?

    Chapter 272: Why Were You Scared Like This?


    Upon hearing the words, Cheng Long was filled with shock and disbelief.


    If the other party knew Tu Xing was his man, how dare theyy a hand on him!


    And since when did the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild have such a master?


    ¡°Are you sure the person is from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild?¡± Cheng Long couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Tu Xing hesitated for a moment, then described, ¡°He¡¯s only about twelve or thirteen years old.¡±


    ¡°Twelve or thirteen!¡± Not only Cheng Long, but Wang Fan and Liu Shuang were also astonished.


    ¡°Yes, he was wearing a light blue robe,¡± Tu Xing recalled. ¡°The elder with him was dressed oddly, like someone from an Ancient Tribe, right, his weapon was arge wooden staff!¡±


    ¡°What?! Arge wooden staff!¡± Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang all shuddered, eximing in unison.


    Tu Xing had not expected that the mention of arge wooden staff would provoke such a strong reaction from Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang.


    ¡°That elder, could it be he has a face full of wrinkles, like a Great Sorcerer?¡± Liu Shuang asked with a trembling voice.<div>


    ¡°Exactly, exactly, full of wrinkles, just like a Great Sorcerer!¡± Tu Xing quickly added, ¡°That¡¯s him, with a single move, he turned Elder Yan and the others into ice sculptures!¡±


    ¡°He struck the ground with hisrge wooden staff, and a dark green chill surged out.¡±


    Theplexions of Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang changed.


    ¡°Does that young boy have any other subordinates by his side?¡± Liu Shuang asked again with a trembling voice.


    Upon hearing this, Tu Xing answered, ¡°He has seven or eight subordinates with him, right, there¡¯s also a Little Gold Beast.¡±


    ¡°A Little Gold Beast!¡±


    Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang were horror-stricken, and in their daze, they all fell off their horses to the ground.


    Before Tu Xing could react, he saw Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang sprinting toward the city gate, even stumbling over the stones in their path and taking a hard fall.


    But they got up again and fled in panic.


    Not only was Tu Xing dumbfounded, but Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and their subordinates were as well.


    They couldn¡¯t understand why hearing about the Little Gold Beast would scare Cheng Long and Wang Fan so much.


    By the time Tu Xing came to his senses, Cheng Long and Wang Fan had already vanished without a trace.


    Tu Xing¡¯s mouth hung open in dismay.


    Meanwhile, at the main hall of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Yang Xiaotian, Wen Fei, and others were waiting for Tu Xing when a Guild disciple ran in, panic-stricken, and said to Wen Fei, ¡°Grand Hall Master, Second Prince Cheng Long has just returned to the Royal City!¡±


    ¡°Coming back with him were Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Wang Fan and Liu Shuang!¡±


    Wen Fei, Wen Jingyi, and the others were shocked to hear that Cheng Long had returned and that Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Wang Fan and Liu Shuang hade as well.


    ¡°Is it Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Grand Master of Pharmacists, Wang Fan?!¡± eximed Wen Fei in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Grand Master Wang Fan!¡± The Guild disciple said in panic, ¡°Apanying them were dozens of high-ranking officials from the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom¡¯s Pharmacist Hall.¡±


    Wen Fei felt darkness before his eyes.<div>


    He had never found Heaven and Earth to be so dim before.


    He had heard of Wang Fan and Liu Shuang¡¯s affairs.


    Wang Fan and his disciple Liu Shuang were tyrannical and autocratic, virtually covering the sky with one hand in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom; anyone who offended them met with no good end.


    However, as Wen Fei and the others anxiously waited, there was no sign of Cheng Long, Wang Fan, or the others showing up. Wen Fei couldn¡¯t help sending people to inquire. When he heard that Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang had fled, Wen Fei and everyone else were dumbstruck.<div>


    ¡°They fled?¡± Wen Fei¡¯s eyes bulged.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s said that they had barely entered the city when they encountered Tu Xing. Tu Xing said something to them, and they were so frightened that they fell off their horses,¡± the disciple exined with animated gestures. ¡°Then, they fled straight out of the Royal City.¡±


    ¡°Some say that while they were escaping, they even took a tumble, ending up with battered and swollen noses before scrambling to their feet and continuing their flight.¡±


    Wen Fei and the experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild were as if they were listening to a heavenly scripture, staring with eyes wide and jaws agape.


    They were surprised, but even more so, they were puzzled.


    They wondered why Cheng Long, Wang Fan, and Liu Shuang would want to flee?


    Why were they so frightened?


    Could it be?


    Wen Fei couldn¡¯t help but look towards Yang Xiaotian, who had been calmlyposed all along, his eyes filled with reverence.


    Without a doubt, it was because of this young man that Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, and Cheng Long were scared to such an extent.


    Who was Wang Fan? He was the Grand Hall Master of the Pharmacist Hall in Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, someone who sat almost on par with the Emperor of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, yet now, he had been scared witless by this youth.


    One could only imagine what a terrifying existence this young man was.


    Otherwise, with Wang Fan¡¯s esteemed status, it would not be possible for him to be frightened like this.<div>


    The other experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild also thought of the same issue and looked at Yang Xiaotian with fear in their eyes.


    ¡°They fled?¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Originally, as per his intentions, since Liu Shuang and Wang Fan hade, he had nned to blow them away incidentally.


    Wu Qi stepped forward and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young master, shall I give chase and bring back the heads of Wang Fan and Liu Shuang?¡±


    Bring back the heads of Wang Fan and Liu Shuang!


    As soon as Wu Qi spoke, the experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild felt their legs go weak, looking at Wu Qi with fear.


    Even Wen Jingyi¡¯s heart was pounding chaotically.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°If they have escaped, let it be. After all, they can¡¯t really escape. Next time we pass by the Pharmacist Hall of Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, we¡¯ll just kill them then.¡±


    The experts of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild shivered uncontrobly.


    ¡°President Wen.¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly turned his head to speak to Wen Fei.


    ¡°Here.¡± Wen Fei shuddered with fright and promptly bowed.


    ¡°Please send someone to check if Tu Xing has had the goods sent back,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Wen Fei was ttered, ¡°Young master, rest assured, I will send someone immediately.¡±<div>


    However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tu Xing walk in with a face full of terror, then with trembling hands, he took out a Space Ring and knelt before Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young master, the goods that were robbed from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, they¡¯re all here.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that a part of them was with the Second Prince, who is currently not in Royal City.¡±


    ¡°However, I¡¯ve reced them with other treasures, all inside, not a single item short.¡±


    ¡°Please, young master, spare my wretched life.¡±


    After saying so, he kept kowtowing.


    Yang Xiaotian handed the Space Ring to Wen Jingyi, ¡°Sister, please take a look.¡±


    After Wen Jingyi received the Space Ring and opened it, she saw it was filled with various medicinal herbs, Spirit Stones, ores, and other treasures, more than double the goods they had been robbed of.


    ¡°It¡¯s much more than the goods that were robbed before,¡± Wen Jingyi said.


    Tu Xing hurriedly waved his hand, ¡°It¡¯s not extra; the extra is mypensation to the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild and Miss Wen.¡± Then he continued to kowtow to Yang Xiaotian, crying, ¡°I was only following orders, young master, please spare me, spare my miserable life.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Wen Jingyi and said, ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll leave him to you to deal with.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, brother,¡± Wen Jingyi said to Yang Xiaotian, her voice very gentle.


    In the end, she did not kill him, but only shattered his Dantian, crippling his cultivation.


    After resolving the matters with the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, Yang Xiaotian and his group stayed in Royal City for one day. The next day, under the respectful escort of the people from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, they set off on their return journey to Xingyue City.<div>

 Chapter 273: 273 Grandpa’s Big Birthday Celebration

    Chapter 273: Grandpa¡¯s Big Birthday Celebration


    When Yang Xiaotian left, Wen Jingyi¡¯s gaze was gentle as water, ¡°Little brother, remember toe and visit your sister often.¡±


    ¡°I will,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Wen Jingyi wanted to say more but eventually didn¡¯t, her beautiful eyes simply watching Yang Xiaotian leave.


    The morning sunlight shone on Yang Xiaotian, draping him in ayer of gold.


    She watched as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure disappeared into the golden sunshine, standing for a long time, unwilling to leave.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure finally vanish, she felt a hollow emptiness inside.


    ¡°Little brother, don¡¯t worry, your sister will practice that Cultivation Technique diligently,¡± Wen Jingyi murmured to herself.


    Last night, Yang Xiaotian had given her a Cultivation Technique.


    Telling her to practice it well.


    After leaving Royal City, when Yang Xiaotian passed through Divine Sword City, he made a trip to Divine Sword Academy.<div>


    Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotian did not see Chen Yuan and Lin Yong; they were not there, having gone to othernds.


    However, Yang Xiaotian did meet Chen Changqing and He Le, along with three others from the Sword Hall.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian, the five of them were naturally excited, extremely so.


    They had already learned that Yang Xiaotian had joined the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Of course, they just knew that Yang Xiaotian had joined the True Dragon Divine Sect, and were unaware of the recent battle between Yang Xiaotian and the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Nevertheless, this news was enough to excite the five of them tremendously.


    After all, in the span of several hundred years, only two people from Divine Sword Academy had managed to join one of the ten Supreme Sects of the Empire.


    Yang Xiaotian rarely came back, but he gave some pointers on swordsmanship to the five of them and even sparred with them for a bit.


    Several years ago, Yang Xiaotian was no match for the five, with Chen Changqing able to defeat him easily with a flick of his fingers, but now, even if the five joined forces, they were no match for one hand of Yang Xiaotian.


    This change left Chen Changqing and the others filled with sighs.


    When Yang Xiaotian left, the five of them escorted him out of Divine Sword City.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian depart, Chen Changqing eximed, ¡°The Hall Master must now be the number one expert in Divine Sea Country.¡±


    Back then, Divine Sword City Lord Peng Zhigang had predicted that Yang Xiaotian would be the number one expert in Divine Sea Country in ten years.


    And now, not even four years had passed.


    Under the starry sky and moonlight, Yang Xiaotian and his group finally returned to Xingyue City.


    That night, Yang Xiaotian and his party stayed at a residence in Xingyue City.


    This residence had been scrappily purchased by Yang Chao and Huang Ying with over a thousand gold coins.


    The residence was notrge, but it was home in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    When Yang Chao and Huang Ying returned to the residence, seeing everything familiar within, they were filled with emotion.<div>


    After resting for a night, everyone set out early in the morning for Huang Family in Lei City.


    Lei City was not far away, and within an hour, they arrived.


    Compared to Xingyue City, Lei City was muchrger.


    The Huang Family was a prominent family in Lei City, and since the Huang Family Patriarch was celebrating his sixtieth birthday tomorrow, the atmosphere was very lively.<div>


    When Yang Xiaotian and his family arrived, there were already many luxurious carriages parked outside the gates of the Huang Family estate.


    Upon hearing of the arrival of Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, and Huang Ying, the Huang estate was shaken, with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s grandfather Huang Lin and grandmother Wang Yan overjoyed and leading the others out to wee them.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s joining of Tiandou Academy and bing the academy¡¯s genius student had spread throughout Divine Sea Country years ago, and the Huang Family was well aware of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s enrollment at Tiandou Academy.


    Back in those years, Huang Lin had even celebrated with arge banquet.


    So now, Yang Xiaotian was indeed the pride of Huang Lin¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Father, Mother!¡± Huang Ying called out upon seeing Huang Lin and Wang Yan weing them, her eyes moistening in the moment she saw the two elders.


    Huang Lin and Wang Yan, too, were very moved, holding Huang Ying¡¯s hands, ¡°Ying¡¯er, you¡¯vee back, good, that¡¯s good!¡±


    Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to greet them as well.


    Huang Lin¡¯s excited mustache trembled as he held Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, ¡°My Xiaotian has grown so tall, such a handsomed! Much more so than your father.¡±


    Yang Chao merely gave a wry smile.


    He was actually not bad-looking, but Xiaotian, this kid, was indeed much more handsome than him.


    Even he felt his son was as monstrously handsome as his talents.


    ¡°Oh, this must be Xiaotian, right? It¡¯s been years, and you¡¯ve grown up so much,¡± said the aunt, who was usually harsh and fierce, now exceedingly warmly and smiling.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t have a good impression of this aunt. When he and his sister visited the Huang Family as children, this aunt had often given them cold looks.


    Weed by Huang Lin and others, Yang Xiaotian and his family entered the Huang residence.


    Because of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, the Huang estate was even more bustling.


    Many family leaders from Lei City and nearby cities hade upon hearing the news.


    The next day, Huang Lin¡¯s birthday feast was filled withughter and toasts.


    At the banquet, Yang Xiaotian presented his grandparents with an Elixir, which made Huang Lin unable to stop smiling with joy.


    It was not until nightfall that the feast came to an end.


    Yang Xiaotian sat in the courtyard flipping through books about the Lord of Azure God.


    Through the books he had gathered these days concerning the Lord of Azure God, he had learned a lot about the feats of the Lord of Azure God and also the cave mansion where the Lord had cultivated.


    Besides, the Lord of Azure God had left behind a set of Divine Artifacts, called the Azure God Suit.


    This Azure God Suit was the only true Divine-Level Artifact set on the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Buddha Source Empire,¡± Yang Xiaotian recited.


    The cave mansion where the Lord of Azure God had cultivated was in the Buddha Source Empire.<div>


    And it was located on a mountain called Celestial Burial Mountain.


    So, no matter what, he had to make a trip to Celestial Burial Mountain in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Because the Heart of Azure God was very likely to be in the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    The Azure God was the lord of the Azure God Continent, and there must be countless treasures within his cave mansion, possibly even the Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Furthermore, the Azure God had a tremendously powerful Mount Beast¡ªan ancient Divine Beast, the Azure Bear, which was still guarding the Azure God Continent.


    It was precisely because of this ancient Divine Beast, the Azure Bear, that the Azure God Continent was still not inplete chaos.


    If he could merge with the Heart of Azure God and gain the power of the Azure God, he might even gain the allegiance of this ancient Divine Beast, the Azure Bear.


    With the Azure Bear as his ally, annihting the four Supreme Sects of the Sky-Stepping Sect would be easy.

 Chapter 274: 274 Buddha Source Empire

    Chapter 274: Buddha Source Empire


    After staying in Lei City for ten days, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions set off to return to the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Upon returning to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian informed the Huang Family and others that he was going to the Buddha Source Empire.


    ¡°What, going to the Buddha Source Empire!¡± Yang Chao and the others were hugely startled upon hearing this.


    Having grown up in the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Chao and Huang Ying hade to learn about the Azure God Continent and knew that the Buddha Source Empire was an extremely distant empire from the Divine Dragon Empire.


    ¡°Yes, the Buddha Source Empire,¡± Yang Xiaotian mused. ¡°This time I leave, it may take two years.¡±


    Two years!


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying fell silent.


    However, they also knew that their son must have important reasons to go to the Buddha Source Empire, so although they were worried, they did not try to dissuade him further.


    ¡°Xiaotian, you must be careful out there,¡± Huang Ying instructed.


    ¡°Rest assured, Mother,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded. ¡°While I am away, you and Father must also be cautious.¡± He then advised them not to leave the True Dragon Divine Sect unless necessary.<div>


    He had already activated the power of the neen Sword Steles of the Sword Path. With the power of the Sword Path protecting them, the True Dragon Divine Sect should be safe.


    The next day, under the reluctant farewell of Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and Yang Ling¡¯er, Yang Xiaotian left the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Since the journey was far too long, Yang Xiaotian did not allow Wu Qi, Xiao Jin, and others to follow.


    Xiao Jin licked his lollipop, crying his heart out.


    Finally, the little fellow cried out, ¡°Young Master, if there are lollipops in the Buddha Source Empire, remember to buy me some.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    After leaving the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian traveled non-stop and soon entered the Four States Empire.


    In recent days, the Four States Imperial Family had already allied with the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Therefore, when passing through the Imperial Capital of the Four States Empire, Yang Xiaotian let the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python bombard the Four States Imperial Pce like crazy, frightening the Four States Great Emperor into scrambling for cover.


    After a bout of bombardment, Yang Xiaotian did not linger for a fight and left with the two beasts.


    After leaving the Four States Empire, Yang Xiaotian traveled with stops in between, cultivating while on the road. After passing through one empire after another, he finally arrived at the border of the Buddha Source Empire.


    By then, three months had passed since Yang Xiaotian left the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    In these three months, not only had Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength broken through to the peak of the Martial Ancestor¡¯s tenth level, but he had also cultivated both the Thunderp Nine Heavens and the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique to the fortieth move.


    ¡°Only nine moves left,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    Just nine more moves, and he would have fully cultivated the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    If he could fully cultivate the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, he would be able to take charge of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    The Azure Thunder Python had told him that there was a branch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Yang Xiaotian entered a border city of the Buddha Source Empire, where he saw Buddha statues and temples everywhere amongst the buildings.


    The Buddha Source Empire was one that primarily cultivated Buddhism and swordsmanship.<div>


    Perhaps due to being on the frontier, the city had less poption, not as bustling as Yang Xiaotian had imagined.


    However, as Yang Xiaotian was walking down the street, a shabbily dressed young boy approached from the front. The boy walked past Yang Xiaotian.


    As the boy passed by Yang Xiaotian, his hand skillfully snatched the spatial storage bag from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s waist.


    His hands moved extremely fast and soundlessly. Ordinary Martial Ancestor masters probably wouldn¡¯t have noticed.<div>


    But Yang Xiaotian¡¯s soul power had grown astonishingly strong by now.


    So, how could he possibly be fooled by Yang Xiaotian?


    Therefore, as the boy skillfully snatched the spatial storage bag and was about to leave, Yang Xiaotian quickly grabbed the back of the thief¡¯s cor.


    The boy did not expect to be caught by Yang Xiaotian, and after being momentarily stunned, he did not panic but chuckled, ¡°Young Master, that spatial storage bag of yours is quite nice-looking.¡±


    However, he did not return the storage bag to Yang Xiaotian, smiling, ¡°I haven¡¯t had a full meal in days, kind sir, please give me a few Gold Coins so I can have a good meal.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. He had encountered thieves before, but never one so brazen.


    Caught red-handed, yet the thief still dared to smile cheekily and haggle with him.


    ¡°Oh, you haven¡¯t had a full meal in days?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the boy with a smile.


    ¡°Yes, look how skinny my arms and legs are,¡± the boy said, rolling up his sleeves to show his arms to Yang Xiaotian.


    Indeed, they were somewhat thin, but as delicate and tender as a girl¡¯s arms.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Do you know of any taverns nearby?¡±


    Upon hearing this, joy spread across the boy¡¯s face, ¡°I know, I know, there¡¯s a tavern nearby with really good drinks,¡± saying this, he returned the spatial storage bag to Yang Xiaotian and then led him onwards.


    The boy was very enthusiastic.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian followed the boy to the tavern he mentioned, and there they ordered a te of good liquor and dishes, chatting as they ate.


    Through their conversation, Yang Xiaotian learned that the boy¡¯s name was Zuo Qiu and that he was two years older than him. However, what puzzled Yang Xiaotian was that Zuo Qiu appeared to be a scion of some noble family, with substantial cultivation and solid foundation. He wondered why such a person would be dressed like this and engaging in theft.


    ¡°Zuo Qiu, I¡¯d like to ask you about something,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Zuo Qiu immediately responded with augh, pping his chest, ¡°Brother, just ask. I¡¯ll tell you everything I know.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and asked, ¡°Do you know of Celestial Burial Mountain?¡±


    Although he knew the Azure God Cave Mansion was on Celestial Burial Mountain, he did not know where Celestial Burial Mountain was in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Zuo Qiu was startled for a moment, ¡°Celestial Burial Mountain? What do you need to find Celestial Burial Mountain for?¡±


    Seeing Zuo Qiu¡¯s reaction, Yang Xiaotian felt ted.


    Clearly, Zuo Qiu knew about Celestial Burial Mountain.


    He had also been concerned that after a million years, Celestial Burial Mountain might have disappeared into the river of history or been renamed. If that were the case, it would be troublesome to find itter.

 Chapter 275: 275: Do Not Engage with Him

    Chapter 275: Do Not Engage with Him


    ¡°I want to enter Celestial Burial Mountain,¡± Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hide his intent, ¡°Do you know of Celestial Burial Mountain?¡±


    Zuo Qiu nodded, smiling, ¡°Celestial Burial Mountain, many people are aware of it, just not sure if it¡¯s the same one you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    ¡°Where is Celestial Burial Mountain?¡± Yang Xiaotian hurriedly asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s a Celestial Burial Mountain in the Celestial Burial Academy,¡± Zuo Qiu replied.


    ¡°Celestial Burial Academy!¡± Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian in surprise, Zuo Qiu said, ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t know about Celestial Burial Academy? The Celestial Burial Academy is one of the two major academies in our Buddha Source Empire.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian exined, ¡°I have always been cultivating at home and rarely leave,¡± then asked, ¡°How can one enter the Celestial Burial Academy?¡±


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re a student of the Celestial Burial Academy, you can study there,¡± Zuo Qiu said. ¡°Actually, bing a student of the Celestial Burial Academy is quite easy, as long as you pay a certain tuition fee each year, then you can study at the Celestial Burial Academy.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Are you saying that anyone can be a student of the Celestial Burial Academy?¡±


    ¡°Yeah,¡± Zuo Qiuughed, ¡°Anyone can, any disciple from any sect or family, but you have to pay the tuition fee. The annual tuition fee is not cheap, the Innate Realm requires ten thousand gold for one year, the Martial King requires one hundred thousand gold for one year, and as for the Martial Ancestor, it¡¯s one million gold per year!¡±<div>


    When Yang Xiaotian heard this, he clicked his tongue.


    Martial Ancestor, just the annual tuition fee alone is one million gold!


    Indeed, it¡¯s astonishing.


    If the Celestial Burial Academy had ten thousand Martial Ancestor realm students, how much would the annual tuition fees be?


    That would definitely be a terrifying number.


    ¡°However, if you can pass their academy¡¯s annual assessment, the Celestial Burial Academy will refund your tuition fees,¡± Zuo Qiu smiled, ¡°But these assessments are extremely difficult, very few pass them, it¡¯s really just wishful thinking.¡±


    ¡°How many people pass the Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s assessment each year?¡± Yang Xiaotian curiously asked.


    ¡°The assessments set for each realm are different,¡± Zuo Qiu said, ¡°In each realm, no more than ten students are able to pass.¡±


    No more than ten people!


    No wonder Zuo Qiu mentioned that very few people pass.


    Laughing, Zuo Qiu said, ¡°How about it, brother, you want to go to Celestial Burial Academy, do you want me to show you the way? I¡¯m a man easily satisfied, just need to be fed.¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll keep you fed, and full at that.¡±


    He found this frank and straightforward young Zuo Qiu quite likeable.


    Being a neer to the Buddha Source Empire, unfamiliar with life here, he indeed needed someone to show him the way.


    After feasting and drinking their fill, the two continued on their way.


    For the convenience of travel, Yang Xiaotian acquired two Windrunner Beasts.


    Windrunner Beasts ran swiftly, faster than the steeds known for covering a thousand li a day.


    More than ten dayster, they arrived at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    The Celestial Burial Academy was immense, with mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye could see.<div>


    A giant stele in front of the academy, however, caught Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attention.


    On the massive stele, someone had used Sword Qi to carve name after name.


    Ji Wudi, Jian Changkong, Sun Moon Holy King, Demon Sky Sword God, Green Lotus Sword Deity¡­, looking at each name on the stele, Yang Xiaotian was amazed.


    Because each of these individuals was incredibly stunning, each an invincible being that resonated throughout the Azure God Continent.<div>


    Each one, a supreme ruler of the Azure God Continent.


    Each one, an unscble mountain that pierces the heavens.


    Especially upon seeing the Green Lotus Sword Deity, Yang Xiaotian was quite surprised.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian staring at the stone monument, Zuo Qiu said with a face full of admiration, ¡°These invincible powerhouses, they have all studied at the Celestial Burial Academy. Although it has been many years since they left the academy, they are still remembered by generations of students and powerhouses, their fame enduring forever!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°The Green Lotus Sword Deity also came to study at the Celestial Burial Academy?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zuo Qiu replied with interest when Yang Xiaotian mentioned the Green Lotus Sword Deity, ¡°Over a thousand years ago, the Green Lotus Sword Deity entered the Celestial Burial Academy and studied there for four years.¡±


    ¡°Although the Green Lotus Sword Deity¡¯s time at the Celestial Burial Academy was short, he broke many records of the academy. He is also one of the youngest Sword Gods on the Azure God Continent.¡±


    ¡°He is the one I admire the most.¡±


    ¡°My ancestor once said that within a hundred years, he is expected to be one of the top ten strongest on the Azure God Continent!¡±


    As Zuo Qiu said this, his eyes sparkled, clearly holding extreme admiration for the Green Lotus Sword Deity, his little fanboy.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected his senior brother Green Lotus to have also studied at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    ¡°What level of strength must one achieve to leave their name on this stone monument?¡± Yang Xiaotian was very curious, ¡°Does one need to be a Divine Spirit to do it?¡±


    Zuo Qiu answered, ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily that one must be a Divine Spirit. For example, if one can refine Divine Level Elixirs, or condense nine Sword Hearts, they can also leave their name on this stone monument.¡±<div>


    ¡°Just by condensing nine Sword Hearts?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    At this moment, he had already condensed eight Sword Hearts.


    Only one more, and wouldn¡¯t he be able to leave his name on this stone monument?


    It seemed not so difficult.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tone, Zuo Qiu rolled his eyes and said with exasperation, ¡°Just condensing nine Sword Hearts? Do you think that¡¯s easy? Those who can condense nine Sword Hearts are all unparalleled geniuses!¡±


    ¡°Do you know how many people have been able to condense nine Sword Hearts since the founding of Celestial Burial Academy?¡±


    ¡°Only five! Just five!¡±


    Then, excitedly, he stretched out one hand and raised all five fingers as if afraid Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t understand the significance of five.


    Seeing Zuo Qiu¡¯s excited appearance, Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile, ¡°Has anyone ever condensed ten Sword Hearts?¡±


    Zuo Qiu was taken aback, ¡°Ten?¡±


    ¡°Kid, where did you spring from, bbering about ten Sword Hearts?¡± At that moment, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth surrounded by a group of people walked over.


    The youth wore a white robe, a waist-mounted Ancient Sword, looking extraordinary. Hisplexion was fair, like a noble young master of the era.


    Zuo Qiu furrowed his brows upon seeing the youth, clearly recognizing him.<div>


    The white-robed youth came over and looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, do you think condensing ten Sword Hearts is easy? Since the founding of Celestial Burial Academy, there has only been one person who has condensed ten Sword Hearts.¡±


    ¡°For a braggart country bumpkin like you, I bet you don¡¯t even know what Sword Hearts are.¡±


    Then he led his entourage into the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Watching the youth¡¯s departing figure, Zuo Qiu said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°His name is Xiao Qiang, a Sword Dao Genius of the younger generation of the Xiao Family.¡± He then said gravely to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by his young age, just a few years older than you and I, but he has already condensed three Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°It seems he has alsoe to the Celestial Burial Academy, probably to enroll and study.¡±


    Then he especially warned Yang Xiaotian, ¡°If you ever run into him, be very careful. Don¡¯t engage him in a fight. His strength is formidable, already a ninth level adept of Martial Ancestor.¡±

 Chapter 276: Barely Considered a Genius

    Chapter 276: Barely Considered a Genius


    Extremely powerful?


    ¡°Martial Ancestor of the ninth stage?¡± Yang Xiaotian was stunned.


    Zuo Qiu nodded, ¡°Exactly, the ninth stage of Martial Ancestor. Surprising, isn¡¯t it? He had a great fortune which allowed him to cultivate so quickly. Among those of the same age, few can match him.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian just smiled.


    He had just seen Zuo Qiu looking so serious and had thought that this Xiao Qiang¡¯s strength was very formidable, only to find out he was merely at the ninth stage of Martial Ancestor.


    If he, five years from now, were the same age as Xiao Qiang, he should be able to break through to Martial Venerable, right?


    But then again, that makes sense, just because he has a twin Supreme Martial Spirit and cultivates quickly, doesn¡¯t mean others can too.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go pay the enrollment fee,¡± Zuo Qiu said, leading Yang Xiaotian to where the fees were being collected.


    But upon arriving, Yang Xiaotian was dumbfounded.


    He saw a line as long as the Great Wall, snaking from one mountain peak to another.


    ¡°All these people are here to pay the registration fee?¡± Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Zuo Qiu chuckled, ¡°Surprised? Actually, this is nothing. When it¡¯s crowded, you might have to wait half a year just to pay the tuition.¡±


    Half a year!


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    Apparently, there really are a lot of rich people in Buddha Source Empire.


    ¡°Now that it¡¯s less crowded, it should only take about three to four months to pay the tuition,¡± Zuo Qiu said.


    Three to four months! By the time you queue up, not only have the daylilies be cold, even the Heart of Azure God would have cooled down.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there another way?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°There is,¡± Zuo Qiuughed. ¡°There¡¯s an ancient stone stele at the front mountain that tests talent. If you can activate the stone stele, not only can you pass the registration directly, but you can also get half off the enrollment fee.¡±


    ¡°A stone stele that tests talent?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked towards the front mountain.


    Indeed, at the front mountain peak, a crowd was gathering, but there were many fewer people than on this side.


    ¡°Correct, a stone stele that tests talent,¡± Zuo Qiu exined. ¡°But to activate the stele is difficult; out of a hundred people, ny-nine may not manage to do so. Moreover, if you fail to activate the stele, you need to pay an extra ten thousand gold.¡±


    No wonder there were so few people.


    However, it was also apparent that talent received special treatment at Celestial Burial Academy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look,¡± Yang Xiaotian spoke up.


    Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiu instantly perked up. ¡°Great!¡± Then she led Yang Xiaotian toward the stele on the front mountain that tested talent.


    She was also very curious about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent.


    The two arrived in front of the stele.


    The Xiao Family¡¯s Xiao Qiang, whom they had just encountered, was also there. Besides Xiao Qiang, several other family disciples were testing their talents as well.


    At that moment, a disciple from one of the families circted his True Yuan and threw a punch at the stele.


    Instantly, the stele shone brightly, and a light appeared at its base.


    This light climbed upward.


    Finally, it stopped at the ny mark.


    Seeing this, the family disciple¡¯s face fell into disappointment, and he left dejectedly.


    Zuo Qiu exined to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Only if the value reaches beyond one hundred is the stele activated. That family disciple was still somewhatcking.¡±


    ¡°Just punching the stele is enough to test for talent?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, puzzled.


    Zuo Qiu said, ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate this stele. Ites from ancient times and contains a sublime Godly Formation. When your punch force enters the stele, the Godly Formation can determine yourbat power based on the robustness of your True Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Thereby assessing your talent.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had a sudden realization.


    Generally speaking, the most direct disy of one¡¯s talent isbat power.


    The stronger thebat power, the stronger the talent.


    Take him, for example. Even without using the Heavenly Sword or Divine Sword, a single punch from him could st away a Martial Emperor of the third or even fourth level.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell on the top of the stele, ¡°Has anyone¡¯s value reached ten thousand?¡±


    Zuo Qiu was startled and chuckled, shaking his head, ¡°Even the unbeatable sword gods like the Demon Sky Sword God and the Green Lotus Sword Deity didn¡¯t achieve a value more than five thousand. Since the establishment of the Celestial Burial Academy, nobody has ever surpassed six thousand, let alone ten thousand.¡±


    Now, it was Xiao Qiang from the Xiao Family¡¯s turn.


    Xiao Qiang stepped up to the stele and circted his True Yuan. His body surprisingly emitted a golden Buddha light.


    ¡°This is the Immeasurable Golden Buddha Technique of the Xiao Family!¡± Zuo Qiu¡¯s face stiffened, ¡°Only when one cultivates it to the ninth level does the Buddha light appear on the body!¡±


    For someone of Xiao Qiang¡¯s age to cultivate the Immeasurable Golden Buddha Technique to such a realm was quite rare.


    Suddenly, Xiao Qiang shouted and with a fierce p, a golden Buddha palm emerged and struck the stele.


    With a ¡°Bang!¡±


    A muffled sound emanated from the stele.


    A beam of light surged from the base of the stele continuously.


    Soon, it reached one hundred.


    When it hit one hundred, the entire stele shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings.


    The light continued to climb after one hundred and didn¡¯t stop until it reached three hundred.


    The surrounding disciples gasped in amazement.


    A value of one hundred was hard to activate the stele, and surpassing three hundred was even rarer.


    Seeing himself break through three hundred, Xiao Qiang also revealed a satisfied smile.


    After Xiao Qiang, it was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s turn.


    Xiao Qiang intended to leave, but when he saw it was Yang Xiaotian, he stopped in his tracks, curious about the result of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent test.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to the stele.


    Zuo Qiu watched Yang Xiaotian without blinking.


    Yang Xiaotian circted his True Yuan and punched the stele.


    The light from the stele surged up fast at first but slowed down when it reached a value of one hundred and finally stopped at one hundred and one.


    Seeing this value, Zuo Qiu couldn¡¯t help but feel greatly disappointed.


    On the way there, he saw Yang Xiaotian, who spoke eloquently and thought he had great talent. Even if he couldn¡¯t match Xiao Qiang, he should¡¯ve been able to break through two hundred, but it turned out to be just barely over one hundred, just enough to activate the stele.


    Yang Xiaotian, upon seeing the value, remained unfazed.


    For him, as long as he could activate the stele and pass the registration, that was enough.


    He knew his own talent very well and didn¡¯t need a stele test to prove it.


    So just now, he had been suppressing his True Yuan and strength; the punch he had given was only one percent of his power.


    If he were to circte a Divine Elixir fully, he could easily break through ten thousand.


    And that was only the power of one of his Divine Elixirs.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s value barely broke through one hundred, Xiao Qiang snickered, ¡°All that talk about ten Sword Hearts, I thought your talent was incredible, but it turns out you barely activated the stele.¡±


    ¡°But that¡¯s also quite good, you barely qualify as a genius.¡±


    With hisughter, Xiao Qiang left triumphantly.


    Afterward, Zuo Qiu led Yang Xiaotian to pay half the tuition fee and receive the identity que of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to ascend to Celestial Burial Mountain, Zuo Qiu informed him that the mountain was only open for one day each month. To climb Celestial Burial Mountain, he would have to wait until the following month.


    ¡°Open for only one day each month?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    ¡°The Celestial Burial Mountain is filled with the Aura of Sword Spirit, and there¡¯s even an Innate Sword Spirit at the mountain peak. All the disciples of the Celestial Burial Academy vie to enter Celestial Burial Mountain to cultivate,¡± exined Zuo Qiu. ¡°To maintain the stability of the Aura of Sword Spirit in the mountain, the academy has thus decreed that it may only be opened for one day each month.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, not everyone is allowed to cultivate in Celestial Burial Mountain. With millions of students in the academy, if everyone were to cultivate there, Celestial Burial Mountain would be packed to bursting.¡±

 Chapter 277: Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique

    Chapter 277: Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique


    ¡°`


    ¡°You just mentioned something? There¡¯s an Innate Sword Spirit on the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart raced.


    He had already condensed eight Nine-Colored Sword Hearts. With just one more, he would have nine!


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s excited reaction, Zuo Qiu was not surprised and said, ¡°Yes, there is an Innate Sword Spirit on the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain, but you should not harbor any delusions about it.¡±


    ¡°Because nobody can actually make it to the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain.¡±


    ¡°At the peak of Celestial Burial Mountain, there is an incredibly terrifying Innate Sword Formation. Even Divine Spirits cannot break through it.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, ¡°Innate Sword Formation?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Qiu nodded, ¡°Even the Green Lotus Sword Deity and others were unable to break through that Innate Sword Formation. If a Divine Spirit Powerhouse steps into it, they are also sted out, unable to withstand it for even two breaths.¡±


    An Innate Sword Formation?


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind was greatly settled.


    Divine Spirits might not be able to break through the Innate Sword Formation, but he had Master Ding.


    It was Master Ding who had taken him into the Innate Sword Formation at ck Snow Mountain.


    ¡°How many Innate Sword Spirits does that Innate Sword Formation have?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    ¡°That I do not know.¡± Zuo Qiu shook his head, ¡°However, the Celestial Burial Ancestor had cultivated for many years on Celestial Burial Mountain. He understood the mountain and that Innate Sword Formation best. He left behind a book called ¡®Celestial Burial Mountain¡¯ in the deepest part of the Celestial Burial Academy Library. If you want to understand, you can try and find that book.¡±


    ¡°However, it¡¯s not easy to ess the deepest part of the Celestial Burial Academy Library. It is said that the books there have be sentient; if you¡¯re not a Divine Spirit, you simply can¡¯t get in.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took note of this.


    He decided to search for this book in the libraryter.


    ¡°You mentioned earlier that not everyone can cultivate on Celestial Burial Mountain; what does that mean?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°What conditions are needed to enter Celestial Burial Mountain?¡±


    Zuo Qiu exined, ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The rules of the Celestial Burial Academy dictate that if you want to absorb the Aura of Sword Spirit on Celestial Burial Mountain, you must exchange it for Contribution Value.¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand Contribution Values in exchange for one day of cultivation on Celestial Burial Mountain.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Ten thousand Contribution Value, just for one day of cultivation on Celestial Burial Mountain?¡±


    The Celestial Burial Academy was seriously ripping people off.


    Being the Divine Child of the True Dragon Divine Sect, he of course knew how hard it was to umte ten thousand Contribution Values.


    A mission, oncepleted, generally awards ten Contribution Values.


    Only extremely difficult missions, oncepleted, would award one hundred Contribution Values.


    Ten thousand Contribution Values would meanpleting a hundred extremely difficult missions.


    Even if hepleted one extremely difficult mission a month, it would take about ten years toplete a hundred!


    ¡°Is there any other way?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Zuo Qiu shook his head, ¡°There is no other way. These are the rules set down by the Celestial Burial Ancestor. Even the current dean must abide by them.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows furrowed.


    Could it be that he would have to force his way into Celestial Burial Mountain?


    At this thought, he felt somewhat headache.


    On his way here, he had learned about the Celestial Burial Academy. It was unfathomable; just in terms of Divine Spirits, there were no less than ten ancestors!


    Moreover, the Celestial Burial Academy had great influence in the Buddha Source Empire and even the surrounding empires. Even the Buddha Source Imperial Family and the surrounding Empire Royal Families dared not act recklessly within the academy.


    If he were to forcefully enter Celestial Burial Mountain and break the rules of the Celestial Burial Academy, he would certainly be ced on their wanted list. Then, he would have no ce in the Buddha Source Empire or the surrounding empires.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian worried, Zuo Qiu said, ¡°I remember the Celestial Burial Academy seems to have a few missions worth ten thousand Contribution Values.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was greatly heartened.


    ¡°`


    ¡°However, such tasks have not beenpleted by anyone for ten thousand years,¡± Zuo Qiu said with a shake of his head. ¡°Trying toplete them is more difficult than reaching the heavens!¡±


    Celestial Burial Academy was teeming with countless strong individuals and geniuses.


    No one hadpleted these tasks in ten thousand years, which spoke volumes about their level of difficulty.


    ¡°How do I ept these few tasks?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest, Zuo Qiu then led him to the Mission Hall.


    The Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s Mission Hall was packed, even more crowded than the Divine Dragon Capital; a sea of people as far as the eye could see.


    Seeing so many people queuing to take on missions, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s forehead creased with annoyance; he had not expected to have to wait in such a long line just to ept a mission at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    ncing at the queue that stretched on like a dragon, he realized that it would probably take days to reach the front.


    Noticing the pained expression on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, Zuo Qiu chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, brother. The ten-thousand-year tasks are not epted here. They are taken from that corner over there,¡± he pointed to a deserted corner of the hall.


    Yang Xiaotian felt a wave of relief.


    Just as he was about to head over, he noticed a suddenmotion in the crowd at the main hall entrance.


    Curious, Yang Xiaotian turned to look and saw a woman in a fiery red dress with a hot figure and an incredibly full chest, yet her face was the epitome of innocence.


    In her hand, she held a bloody head.


    ¡°It¡¯s Senior Sister Mu Yunchun!¡±


    ¡°Senior Sister Mu Yunchun has returned! I heard that a month ago, she took on the task of killing the ck Ghost Demon, and now she has actually in him and brought back his head!¡±


    Whispers and discussions broke out among the countless disciples in the hall.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes followed Mu Yunchun with intense fervor.


    More precisely, they were all staring at her ample chest.


    Zuo Qiu turned to Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Senior Sister Mu Yunchun was born with the Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique, possesses a thirteenth-level Martial Soul, and her innate talent is monstrously prodigious. Her Sword Dao ranks within the top ten among the younger generation of Celestial Burial Academy!¡±


    There were millions of students in the Celestial Burial Academy!


    Being in the top ten among the younger generation was a testament to her breathtaking talent.


    However, what surprised Yang Xiaotian was her innate Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique.


    Such a special constitution was extremely rare and, of course, extremely powerful. Any woman with this physique could attract and tempt men extraordinarily with every gesture and smile.


    Mu Yunchun, holding the head of the ck Ghost Demon, walked toward the mission booth. As she passed by Yang Xiaotian, she nced at him, her eyes showing surprise.


    Her Heart of Ice made her extremely sensitive to the power of mes, and she felt a striking force of fire emanating from this young man.


    Could this striking fire force be an Abnormal Fire?


    And moreover, it must be ranked in the top hundred of Abnormal Fires.


    Otherwise, the power of fire could not possibly be this remarkable.


    While Mu Yunchun carried the head of the ck Ghost Demon to the mission booth toplete her task, Yang Xiaotian also approached the booth for epting ten-thousand-year missions and began perusing the list.


    There were a total of four ten-thousand-year missions.


    After reading through the four missions, Yang Xiaotian smiled wryly; they were almost impossible toplete.


    For instance, the first one was to obtain a wisp of Golden me from the Golden me Heavenly Dragon on Divine Beast Mountain.


    The Golden me Heavenly Dragon of Divine Beast Mountain was undoubtedly one of the strongest beings in the Azure God Continent. Who would dare to take a wisp of its Golden me? Wasn¡¯t that courting death?


    Probably even his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, didn¡¯t have the strength to do so.


    Amid his bitter smile, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze settled on thest ten-thousand-year mission.


    For others, this task was nearly impossible, but he could do it because he possessed the Earth me and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!

 Chapter 278: 278

    Chapter 278: 278


    Over ten thousand years ago, Celestial Burial Academy obtained the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    The Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was used for alchemy by the Ancient Thousand Buddhas Medicine God.


    The Thousand Buddha Medicine God was the first Medicine God of the Buddha Source Empire and the strongest among the three Medicine Gods of the Empire, as well as the one with the highest alchemy level.


    The value of his Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was, as one might imagine, immense.


    However, this very Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was encased in Purple Cold Ice.


    Purple Cold Ice was the most terrifying ice in Heaven and Earth; the longer it existed, the more astonishing was its capacity to devour the chill of Heaven and Earth. Celestial Burial Academy had tried every possible method but couldn¡¯t melt the Purple Cold Ice.


    If the Purple Cold Ice could not be melted, then the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was useless, nothing more than a scrap cauldron.


    Therefore, Celestial Burial Academy issued a task: if anyone could melt the Purple Cold Ice, not only would they keep the elixir within the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, but they would also receive a reward of ten thousand contribution points.


    Yang Xiaotian nned to take on this task of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    ¡°What, you want to take on the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task!¡± The steward managing tasks was so surprised upon hearing Yang Xiaotian wanted to ept the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task that he raised his voice quite a bit, instantly drawing the attention of all the students in the great hall.


    ¡°Who is this kid? He actually dares to take on the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been several hundred years, hasn¡¯t it? No one has dared to take the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task for ages!¡±


    There was a sudden buzz of discussion in the great hall.


    At that moment, Xiao Qiang also arrived at the Mission Hall. Seeing Yang Xiaotian ept the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task, heughed to the others, ¡°I know this kid; he just came in through the Heaven-Prating Stele test. However, his talent value is just one hundred and one.¡±


    ¡°A piece of trash with a talent value just over one hundred dares to ept the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task, it¡¯s simplyughable!¡± Right then, a domineering and arrogant voice sounded.


    Everybody looked and saw a tall youth walking in from outside.


    The youth had two horns on his head and an exceptional aura, with an intimidating might of a Demon God, making him a fearsome sight to behold.


    Seeing the young man, many experts in the great hall changed expressions, including Zuo Qiu.


    ¡°It¡¯s Senior Brother He Zhen!¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother He Zhen!¡±


    Many students in the great hall bowed with faces full of awe.


    ¡°Senior Brother He Zhen is born with the body of a Demon God!¡± Fearing that Yang Xiaotian would offend He Zhen, Zuo Qiu quickly said, ¡°His talent test value is over two thousand, surpassing even Senior Sister Mu Yunchun.¡±


    A talent value measured by the Heaven-Prating Stele that exceeds one thousand is extraordinarily monstrous.


    Yet He Zhen¡¯s talent value reached over two thousand, which was startlingly impressive and powerful!


    ¡°Moreover, he¡¯s from the He Family of the Eastern Deste!¡± Zuo Qiu added.


    The Eastern Deste He Family!


    It was definitely one of the strongest and most ancient families in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored everyone and said to the steward managing tasks, ¡°The academy hasn¡¯t stipted that students with a talent value of one hundred cannot ept the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task, has it?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the case.¡± The steward looked Yang Xiaotian up and down, ¡°You¡¯d better think it through; to ept the millennial task, one must pay one million gold, and if it can¡¯t bepleted, the one million gold cannot be returned, and no other tasks can be epted within a year.¡±


    Previously, many students, simply out of curiosity to see the legendary Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, would recklessly ept the task, which is why the academy set a one million gold fee to undertake the millennial task.


    Of course, if one actuallypleted the task, the academy would refund ten million gold.


    Without another word, Yang Xiaotian handed over one million gold to the steward and then epted the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian still took the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task, He Zhen snorted coldly, ¡°Overestimating one¡¯s abilities, ignorant of life and death!¡±


    In the past, there were students who took the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task and not only failed to melt the Purple Cold Ice within the cauldron but were invaded by the chilling aura of the Purple Cold Ice and ended up frozen like a dead chicken.


    In He Zhen¡¯s eyes, Yang Xiaotian would undoubtedly end up frozen like a dead chicken as well.


    Following that, the task steward led Yang Xiaotian to the Medicine Hall where the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was kept.


    Seeing this, the crowd followed suit.


    Mu Yunchun also followed.


    She was curious as well, wondering if the abnormal fire within the youth was indeed one of the top hundred.


    Upon seeing Mu Yunchun follow, He Zhen couldn¡¯t help but speak, ¡°Junior Sister Mu, is there anything worth seeing here? In a moment, this kid will definitely be frozen into a dead chicken by the Purple Cold Ice.¡±


    However, Mu Yunchun ignored He Zhen and continued to follow suit.


    He Zhen, watching Mu Yunchun¡¯s captivating figure, felt a surge of heat in his eyes and followed as well.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Medicine Hall where the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was ced, and the task steward opened the door to the cauldron.


    The Medicine Hall was spacious, with a golden Cauldron Furnace ced in the center.


    However, this Cauldron waspletely covered in ayer of purple ice.


    Affected by the cold air of the Purple Cold Ice, the entire Medicine Cauldron looked like an ice cer that had stood for ten thousand years.


    Even some of the weaker students, just by approaching the door to the Medicine Hall, were shivering from the cold.


    As Yang Xiaotian entered the Medicine Hall, he felt a bone-chilling cold. As he approached the Cauldron Furnace, his hands and feet stiffened from the cold, and he had to circte his True Yuan to feel slightly better.


    Even so, when he reached the front of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, the blood in his body was nearly frozen solid.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Dragon Tyrant Body had reachedpletion, but even that couldn¡¯t withstand the chill of the Purple Cold Aura, let alone the other students. After entering the hall, they dared only to watch from afar.


    ¡°He managed to walk up to the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, it seems he has some skills,¡± said a family expert who came with He Zhen.


    He Zhen sneered, ¡°Just walking up to the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron is nothing special. Many students in the academy can do that. If he dares to touch the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, the Purple Cold Ice¡¯s frigid air will burst out like a tsunami and instantly engulf and devour him!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe he would really dare to ce his hand on the Cauldron Furnace of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.¡±


    Under the gaze of everyone present, Yang Xiaotian reached out his hand towards the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, and at the moment his hand touched the cauldron,


    Suddenly, the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron glowed brightly with purple light, and the terrifying Purple Cold Aura, like an enraged tsunami, furiously burst forth from the inner world of the cauldron, eager to devour Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon seeing this, He Zhen¡¯s face broke into a grin.


    But just as the Purple Cold Aura was about to engulf Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, starlight surged up from within his body. The multitude of starlight scattered the Purple Cold Aura that was filling the grand hall.


    The hall, previously filled with shocking cold air, suddenly became as warm as spring.


    Streams of the me of Star kept emerging from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    The space above the hall instantly turned into a world of stars.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s right hand, which was about to be frozen into an ice sculpture, erupted even more violently with the Celestial me.


    The Purple Cold Aura that had just burst forth from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron like a tsunami waspletely incinerated.


    ¡°Abnormal Fire, the me of Star!¡±


    Seeing the mes emerging from Yang Xiaotian, everyone, after a moment of shock, eximed in astonishment.


    With over ten thousand kinds of Spiritual Fire and hundreds of kinds of Abnormal Fire, taming a Heaven and Earth Abnormal Fire was rare even in the Celestial Burial Academy, let alone one of the top hundred!


    Zuo Qiu was stunned as well.


    He Zhen¡¯s smiling face suddenly stiffened.


    Mu Yunchun felt immense relief; it turned out just as she had guessed¡ªthe youngd had tamed one of the top hundred Abnormal Fires.


    However, she then shook her head, feeling a profound sense of disappointment. Although the youngd possessed one of the top hundred Abnormal Fires, melting the Purple Cold Ice of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was simply impossible.

 Chapter 279: 279

    Chapter 279: 279


    Because, Celestial Burial Academy once had a genius Pharmacist who attempted to melt the Purple Cold Ice with a top hundred Abnormal Fire.


    But none seeded.


    Indeed, as Mu Yunchun had guessed, once the Purple Cold Aura that emerged from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron waspletely burnt off, the Purple Cold Aura still continued to surge out from the cauldron relentlessly.


    And the outpouring Purple Cold Aura grew stronger and stronger.


    After a few breaths, the me of Star in Xiaotian¡¯s palm waspletely suppressed.


    The Purple Cold Aura once again engulfed Xiaotian.


    He Zhen saw this andughed heartily, hisughter wild, ¡°I told you he didn¡¯t know whether he was alive or dead, so what if he has a top hundred Abnormal Fire, soon he¡¯ll be frozen stiff like a dead chicken!¡±


    ¡°Whether he has a top hundred Abnormal Fire or not, the oue is the same, it¡¯s just a matter of a few extra breaths.¡±


    Seeing the Purple Cold Aura about to swallow Xiaotian again, Mu Yunchun inwardlymented what a pity it was.


    After all, with a top hundred Abnormal Fire, this young man could have had a great future, and now he was going to die under the Purple Cold Aura.


    Just as the Purple Cold Aura was about to overwhelm Xiaotian, suddenly, a Phoenix¡¯s cry resounded through Heaven and Earth.


    Then, another Phoenix¡¯s cry followed.


    A total of nine Phoenix cries echoed.


    Startling golden light burst forth from Xiaotian¡¯s body and soared into the sky.


    As the golden light shot into the sky, it even burst through the roof of the great hall and directly into the high heavens.


    The entire Medicine Hall trembled.


    At this moment, all the experts on the mountain where the Medicine Hall stood were shocked, looking up at the golden light in the sky.


    Even the experts from the neighboring academy peaks were startled by this golden light.


    As the golden light surged up, streams of golden mes rose into the sky, and the great hall, once again enveloped in Purple Cold Aura, was brilliantly illuminated, with all the Purple Cold Aura burnt off again.


    The Purple Cold Aura that was devouring Xiaotian was alsopletely incinerated by the golden mes.


    Nine Phoenixes, enshrouded in golden mes, coiled around Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    The golden waves of fire rolled and surged, covering the sky and the earth.


    Startled by the surging golden mes, all the students who were in the great hall hurriedly fled.


    ¡°Top ten Abnormal Fire, Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡± eximed He Zhen in shock.


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s cherry lips were also agape at their widest, her chest heaving, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.


    Zuo Qiu and the steward were also frightened.


    ¡°He actually subdued two great Abnormal Fires!¡±


    ¡°Which family does he belong to? When did the Buddha Source Empire produce such a monstrous talent?¡±


    Outside the great hall, every student was shocked.


    To subdue a top hundred Abnormal Fire in Celestial Burial Academy was as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns; to subdue a top ten Abnormal Fire, even in the Buddha Source Empire, was an incredibly monstrous existence.


    Not to mention subduing both the me of Star and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me at the same time.


    The Nine Phoenixes Golden me, rightfully ranked ninth among Abnormal Fires,pletely pushed back the Purple Cold Aura under its suppressive power, retreating back into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    All traces of the cold in every corner of the great hall vanished.


    ¡°So what if he possesses the Nine Phoenixes Golden me? It¡¯s still impossible to melt the Purple Cold Ice!¡± said He Zhen with an ugly expression amidst his shock.


    Thousands of years ago, Celestial Burial Academy had a genius Pharmacist who also used a top ten Abnormal Fire to burn the Purple Cold Ice. It was the eighth-ranked Crimson Sunme, yet it failed to melt the Purple Cold Ice.


    As He Zhen said, though the Nine Phoenixes Golden me was powerful, it could onlypress the Purple Cold Aura back into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron. When the Nine Phoenixes Golden me attempted to flood into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, it was continuously blocked by the Purple Cold Aura.


    ¡°It seems that even the Nine Phoenixes Golden me cannot melt the Purple Cold Ice!¡± said an expert outside the great hall, shaking his head: ¡°It¡¯s said that even Lord Qian Feiyu¡¯s Crimson Sunme couldn¡¯t melt the Purple Cold Ice.¡±


    Qian Feiyu was precisely that genius Pharmacist from thousands of years ago at Celestial Burial Academy.


    Mu Yunchun also went from shock to regret.


    The task steward also woke from his excitement, shaking his head.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned all his strength to drive the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Suddenly, the brilliance of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me surged once more, the nine fiery golden phoenixes pounced toward the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, and a golden sea of fire formed around the cauldron under the entwining grip of the phoenixes.


    The Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was scorched red-hot.


    As Yang Xiaotian mustered all his strength to invoke the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, the sky above the mountain where the Medicine Hall stood burned a fiery red.


    In the skies above the mountain, the shadows of nine golden phoenixes gradually emerged.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡±


    ¡°Which family expert has summoned the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me?¡±


    Masters of the surrounding mountains were astounded.


    Soon, the news spread.


    It even rmed the high ranks of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    After all, the Celestial Burial Academy hasn¡¯t seen a talented student with a top ten Abnormal Fire for many years.


    Upon receiving the news, Wang Qing, the headmaster of the Celestial Burial Academy, had his subordinates inquire what was happening; soon, they learned that a young boy named Yang Xiaotian had taken on the task involving the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian just joined the academy today. He passed the stone stele test with a score of only one hundred and one,¡± said an Elder of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    ¡°Just one hundred and one?¡± After his initial astonishment, Wang Qing thenughed and said, ¡°He must have concealed hisbat power and talent. Back in the day, Qian Feiyu¡¯s talent test was nearly three thousand. Even if this Yang Xiaotian is not as talented as Qian Feiyu, his real talent must also be around two thousand.¡±


    He continuedughing, ¡°It¡¯s been over three thousand years since our Celestial Burial Academy has seen a pharmaceutical genius with a top ten Abnormal Fire, hasn¡¯t it? Now that one has finally appeared, this is indeed a cause for celebration.¡±


    The academy Elder nodded andughed in agreement, ¡°However, it¡¯s a pity that Yang Xiaotian still won¡¯t be able to melt the Purple Cold Ice.¡±


    As soon as they finished speaking, the ground began to tremble suddenly.


    It started with a slight tremor, then the shaking grew stronger and more intense.


    At first, Wang Qing didn¡¯t pay much attention, but seeing the ground shaking more and more violently, he couldn¡¯t help but be shocked.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wang Qing was filled with disbelief and concern.


    He felt as though something was surging up from deep beneath the ground.


    Both Elders were startled and quickly exited the hall, discovering not only their mountain was shaking, but the surrounding peaks were as well.


    Wang Qing looked towards a certain direction in front of him, feeling that the source of the vibration wasing from the Medicine Hall.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Medicine Hall, something¡¯s happened at the Medicine Hall!¡± Wang Qing¡¯s face changed, and he soared into the sky, hastily flying towards the Medicine Hall.


    The Elder hurriedly followed suit.


    As Wang Qing hurried toward the Medicine Hall, he saw from afar astonishing earthy yellow mes surging up into the sky, covering everything in sight. From a distance, it looked like a continent was suspended above the Medicine Hall.


    Wang Qing was thunderstruck, his voice shaking, ¡°It¡¯s the Earth me! This is the Earth me!¡±


    The Elder was also stunned.


    The Earth me!


    Number one on the Abnormal Fire List!


    Who has harnessed the Earth me?


    Suddenly, a thought shed through his mind, could it be?


    At that moment, within the Medicine Hall, the Earth me kept spurting out from beneath Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet, like an unending river. With a furious barrage from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palms, it sted into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    The Purple Cold Aura inside the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was instantly dispersed.


    Following that, with an unstoppable momentum, the Earth me propelled deeper into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.

 Chapter 280: 280 I guarantee you won’t survive 1 day

    Chapter 280: I guarantee you won¡¯t survive 1 day


    Purple Cold Aura erupted crazily from the depths of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, attempting to block the Earth me, but it was futile. Even the strongest and most terrifying Purple Cold Aura from the innermost depths of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron couldn¡¯t stop the Earth me.


    The power of the Earth me continued to boldly prate deeper into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    The Heavenly Buddha Cauldron vibrated violently without end.


    With each violent vibration, the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron shone brighter.


    Originally eroded by the Purple Cold Ice for countless years, the dim and lusterless Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was growing increasingly radiant.


    Outside the great hall, Mu Yunchun, He Zhen, Zuo Qiu, and others had already been stunned, watching the endless Earth me beneath Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet, they had forgotten where they were.


    No one spoke.


    ¡°Earth me!¡± After a long while, one of the n elders trembled as he spoke.


    Earth me!


    All present trembled.<div>


    ¡°Earth me, huh,¡± Mu Yunchun muttered to herself as she looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure. So, this young boy not only had inside him the ¡°me of Star,¡± one of the top hundred Abnormal Fires, but also the ¡°Nine Phoenixes Golden me,¡± one of the top ten.


    And the strongest Abnormal Fire, the Earth me!


    No wonder!


    No wonder when she passed by him in the Mission Hall, her own heart of ice beat so violently.


    Under the power of the Earth me, atst, the Purple Cold Aura in the deepest part of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron meltedpletely.


    The Heavenly Buddha Cauldron radiated the dazzling Divine Light of the golden Buddha.


    The Buddha statue on the body of the cauldron seemed to havee to life, the light surging within it.


    When the Purple Cold Ice inside the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron melted, waves of astonishing fragrances of elixir flowed out from within, revitalizing all who sensed it, making them feel as if their entire bodies had been purified by the purest Buddha Force.


    ¡°This is a holy Buddha Elixir!¡±


    Some of the master Pharmacists who smelled the fragrance were excited beyond measure.


    Suddenly, the scene was abuzz with shock.


    In almost an instant, everyone disyed a fiery look, greedily fixating on the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    He Zhen, even more agitated, stepped forward, directly came before the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, and then shouted at Yang Xiaotian who was blocking him, ¡°Get out of my way!¡± After speaking, his True Yuan surged, clearly revealing the strength of a firstyer Martial Emperor.


    However, just as He Zhen was about to make his move to get Yang Xiaotian out of the way, suddenly, a figure descended from the sky andnded at the entrance of the Medicine Hall.


    ¡°The Dean!¡±


    Seeing the neer, the students present couldn¡¯t help but be startled and bowed respectfully.


    The person who arrived was Wang Qing, who had rushed over.


    It was not just Wang Qing who was on the way, other experts of the Celestial Burial Academy were also arriving continuously, but Wang Qing was the first to reach.


    He Zhen, seeing Wang Qing¡¯s arrival, came to his senses. Though his heart was filled with unwillingness, he dared not make his move.<div>


    He could only retreat to a corner of the great hall, and as he left, he red fiercely at Yang Xiaotian.


    Wang Qing, excited, entered the great hall without looking at the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron; instead, he gazed at the Earth me and Nine Phoenixes Golden me surrounding Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian was merely a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, Wang Qing was both surprised and taken aback.


    With excitement, he said with a gratified smile, ¡°Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s Medicine Path has its sessor!¡± He then turned to Yang Xiaotian with a beaming face and asked, ¡°Child, you¡¯re Xiaotian, right? Did you just arrive at the Celestial Burial Academy today?¡±<div>


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded in response.


    Wang Qing smiled and said, ¡°Wee to Celestial Burial Academy to study. From now on, all your expenses at the Celestial Burial Academy are waived, and you can study here for as long as you wish.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian with envy.


    To study at Celestial Burial Academy at the Martial Ancestor realm, one would need one million gold for a year¡¯s tuition, but once one breaks through to the Martial Emperor realm, the cost would rise to a hundred million gold a year!


    A hundred million gold, that¡¯s ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.


    Ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones a year, that was truly a staggering figure.


    Even for many great families of the Buddha Source Empire, a yearly cost of ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones was not a small expense.


    Moreover, studying at the Celestial Burial Academy involves much more than just tuition fees.


    What Wang Qing had offered was an exemption from all costs.


    Even He Zhen felt jealousy and envy towards Yang Xiaotian. In the entire Celestial Burial Academy, now only one person could enjoy the exemption from all fees, and even he did not qualify for such an exemption.


    ¡°Thank you, Dean,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a fist salute.


    Wang Qing nodded with a smile, then took out the saint-level Buddha Elixirs from within the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron and gave them to Yang Xiaotian.


    ording to the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron task, since Yang Xiaotian had melted the Purple Cold Ice, all the Elixirs within the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron belonged to him.<div>


    There were a total of seven saint-level Buddha Elixirs inside the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron!


    Wang Qing gave them all to Yang Xiaotian, and upon leaving, he said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°If you encounter any issues in the future, you can alwayse to me.¡±


    This statement was also meant for everyone present to hear.


    If anyone dared to snatch Yang Xiaotian¡¯s saint-level Buddha Elixirs, they had better think twice.


    After Wang Qing had left, He Zhen approached Yang Xiaotian and said with a smirk, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, harboring a crime, those seven saint-level Buddha Elixirs might not be a blessing for you; they could bring about a disaster leading to your death.¡±


    ¡°How about this, you sell those seven saint-level Buddha Elixirs to me, what do you say?¡±


    ¡°Seven saint-level Buddha Elixirs, I¡¯ll give you one million gold for them.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.


    Saint-level Buddha Elixirs were priceless treasures, let alone those crafted by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God; He Zhen actually wanted to buy them for one million gold.


    This was essentially a form of robbery.


    ¡°What if I refuse to sell?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked indifferently.


    ¡°Refuse to sell?¡± He Zhen sneered, ¡°Then I can guarantee that you won¡¯t live past a day.¡± After saying this, he turned to leave.


    After all, he was wary of Wang Qing and did not dare to openly seize them by force.<div>


    Just as He Zhen was about to leave, Yang Xiaotian suddenly said, ¡°Did I say you could leave?¡±


    He Zhen stopped in his tracks andughed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, are you suggesting that I need your permission to leave?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said calmly, ¡°Kneel down, admit your wrongs to me, and kowtow ten times soundly. Then I might let you leave.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± No sooner had Yang Xiaotian spoken than He Zhen and everyone else were astounded.


    Who was He Zhen? Born with the body of a Demon God, he possessed exceptionalbat strength and was the Young Master of the He Family in the Eastern Deste; who dared to make him kneel?


    ¡°Brat, you¡¯re seeking death!¡± After his astonishment, He Zhen flew into a great fury, channeling his True Yuan. A series of Demon Light and Divine Light red up as he threw a fierce punch towards Yang Xiaotian.


    As Mu Yunchun considered whether to intervene, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian raised his hand to catch He Zhen¡¯s fist.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian trying to block He Zhen¡¯s fist with his bare hand, many experts from the families present shook their heads. He Zhen, born with the body of a Demon God, possessed the strength to rival a Demon God; with one punch, he could kill a Fierce Beast at the first level of the Emperor Realm.


    Yang Xiaotian intends to block his punch with his bare hand?


    Wasn¡¯t that seeking death?


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian attempting to block his punch barehanded, He Zhen¡¯s face twisted with malice as he increased his strength.


    Where his right fist passed, it brought with it a swirl of Demon God me.


    Boom!<div>


    He Zhen¡¯s right fist collided with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm.


    A dull resonating sound was heard.


    But contrary to what everyone expected, there was no scream; Yang Xiaotian stood his ground like an immovable Ancient Divine Mountain, not retreating an inch!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand was positioned in front of the opponent¡¯s fist.


    He Zhen stared at his own right fist in shock.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian squeezed, gripping the other¡¯s fist, and with a powerful tug, He Zhen let out a scream as his entire right arm was torn off by Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 281: 281: He is like a God

    Chapter 281: He is like a God


    When He Zhen¡¯s right arm was forcibly torn off, blood sttered everywhere.


    Blood hit the ground, sending up wisps of steam.


    The hearts of the spectators shook dramatically.


    He Zhen, born with a Demon God physique, possessed astonishing strength and even more impressive defenses; yet, his entire right arm had been ripped off by Yang Xiaotian!


    What¡¯s more, many could tell that Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t even used his True Yuan in the act; he relied solely on the strength of his physical body.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face was cold as he casually tossed He Zhen¡¯s right arm off a distant cliff.


    As his right arm was torn off, He Zhen felt an excruciating pain. Seeing his own arm thrown off the cliff filled him with boundless killing intent, and he roared furiously, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±


    As he spoke, the light of the Demon God surged from his body, and a gigantic Thunder Dragon appeared above his head.


    He Zhen¡¯s Martial Soul was, in fact, an Ancient Thunder Dragon!


    A huge ck halo appeared around the Thunder Dragon Martial Soul.<div>


    The Thunder Dragon Martial Soul and the ck halo emanated a terrifying pressure.


    ¡°A Level Thirteen Martial Soul!¡±


    ¡°A fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring!¡±


    Upon seeing He Zhen¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Ring, theplexions of many strong people present changed drastically.


    A Level Thirteen Martial Soul in the form of a Thunder Dragon was already rare, but a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring was even rarer.


    A ck Soul Ring signified it was a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring or above; and He Zhen¡¯s ck Soul Ring, with five ck lights, indicated that his Soul Ring was fifty thousand years old!


    Generally speaking, being able to condense a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was already the mark of a genius among geniuses, and a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring was undoubtedly monstrous.


    With the augmentation of the fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, the power of He Zhen¡¯s Thunder Dragon Martial Soul continued to climb.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Years Soul Skill: Thunder Sword Three Thousand!¡±


    He Zhen¡¯s voice, chilling and filled with killing intent, rang out.


    He shed fiercely with his sword.


    As he made his move, the light from the fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring intensified. The Thunder Dragon Martial Soul¡¯s body gathered thunder and lightning, turning into three thousand thunder swords, furiously bombarding Yang Xiaotian.


    The surrounding experts were so frightened that they hastily dodged out of the way.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    In an instant, three thousand astonishing thunder swords struck Yang Xiaotian. The light of the thunder and lightning exploded, ravaging the ground for hundreds of meters around Yang Xiaotian with countless craters.


    Dust billowed.


    The storm lingered for a long time.


    Seeing He Zhen¡¯s strike, everyone was shocked.


    Even Mu Yunchun was taken aback.<div>


    Such a destructive blow could obliterate not just Fierce Beasts of the Martial Emperor first realm, but many second realm Fierce Beasts would also be instantly reduced to ash.


    ¡°Is he dead?¡± someone murmured.


    At this moment, the area where Yang Xiaotian stood was engulfed by a sea of thunderous light, making it impossible for anyone to see if he was alive or dead.


    ¡°Could he really be dead?¡± someone said apprehensively.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian, a rare Medicine Path prodigy who controlled the Nine Phoenixes Golden me and Earth me¡ªcould he really have died just like that?


    Just then, suddenly, the sky full of thunder and lightning exploded apart.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure reappeared in front of everyone.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Upon seeing Yang Xiaotianpletely unscathed, He Zhen and everyone else present were dumbstruck.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian shed forward, arriving in front of his opponent andunching a fierce punch.


    He Zhen¡¯s face changed dramatically. He stimted his entire True Yuan and threw a punch to meet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s.


    ¡°Thunder Dragon¡¯s Fury!¡±


    As He Zhen unleashed his punch, the thunderous power of his Thunder Dragon Martial Soul surged towards Yang Xiaotian like an overwhelming flood.


    Boom.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s right fist directly sted through the flood of lightning, striking the opponent¡¯s fist. He Zhen was sent flying as if hit by an Ancient Giant Dragon and crashed to the ground far away, rolling continuously until he tumbled off the edge of a cliff.


    He Zhen¡¯s cries of shock and anger echoed up.


    After a long while, the bottom of the cliff resounded with a thunderous roar.


    The crowd was shaken.<div>


    At a loss for words for a long time.


    At this moment, it was clear to everyone that Yang Xiaotian was merely at the peak of the Martial Ancestor¡¯s tenth level.


    Yet He Zhen, who was at the first level of the Emperor Realm and possessed a Thirteenth Grade Thunder Dragon Martial Soul and a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, was still sted away by a single punch from Yang Xiaotian even after summoning the power of both the Thunder Dragon and the Soul Ring.


    Amid the crowd, Xiao Qiang of the Xiao Family retreated to the back, his face pale as death, fearing that Yang Xiaotian might notice him.


    Yang Xiaotian, with an indifferent expression, nced at the cliff He Zhen had fallen from and was about to leave when he saw Mu Yunchun approaching with her slender waist twisting gracefully.


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s innocent face was filled with a charming smile, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, hello, my name is Mu Yunchun.¡±


    ¡°Senior Sister Mu, is something the matter?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked warily, watching the woman.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian looking at her guardedly, Mu Yunchun¡¯s smile grew even brighter, she sidled closer and said, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, I mean no harm, I simply wish to invite you to my cave dwelling this evening.¡±


    ¡°I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Discuss something at the cave dwelling tonight?


    The suggestion inevitably led the onlookers to wild spections.


    As Mu Yunchun spoke, she smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°My cave dwelling is just up ahead on the mountainside of Peach Blossom Peak, I¡¯ll be alone tonight.¡±


    ¡°Remember toe, Junior Brother Yang, I¡¯ll be waiting for you.¡±<div>


    Then, with her rounded hips swaying, she walked away with a twist in each step.


    As Mu Yunchun moved swayingly, those in the crowd were left with dry mouths and swallowed hard.


    Zuo Qiu came to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side and gazed at the departing figure of Mu Yunchun, ¡°Brother, take me with you this evening, I also want to ¡®discuss things¡¯ with her.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, annoyed, said, ¡°Scram,¡± and left.


    Zuo Qiu followed Yang Xiaotian,ughing, ¡°Senior Sister Mu has never invited anyone to her cave dwelling before; brother, you¡¯re the first.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian did not respond, his face full of questions. He could tell that Mu Yunchun truly had something to discuss with him, something not suitable for mentioning in public.


    But what could it be that she needed to seek him out for?


    ¡°Brother, who would¡¯ve thought that you could even tame the Earth me!¡± Zuo Qiu followed behind Yang Xiaotian, full of admiration and endlessly chattering, then he said, ¡°There are millions of students at Celestial Burial Academy, and before you, there was only one person the Dean waived all fees for.¡±


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s another person? Who is it?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked curiously.


    It was because of the Earth me, which he had melded to melt the Purple Cold Ice and restored the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, that Wang Qing had waived all his academy fees.


    He was curious about this other person who had also had their fees waived by Wang Qing.


    ¡°It¡¯s Wei Zongyuan!¡± Zuo Qiu said gravely, ¡°He¡¯s the student with the highest aptitude in thest thousand years of Celestial Burial Academy; his test score was over five thousand!¡±


    ¡°Over five thousand!¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.<div>


    He remembered Zuo Qiu mentioning that his Senior Brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, also had a test score of just over five thousand back in the day.


    Could this Wei Zongyuan possess the makings of a Sword God?


    ¡°Shocked, aren¡¯t you?¡± Zuo Qiu said with reverence, ¡°Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Martial Dao Talent is astonishing, especially his Sword Dao Talent¡ªit¡¯s terrifying. He can master any swordsmanship by simply watching it once. The Golden Core he formed is one of the strongest top ten Golden Cores! He truly is a miracle of the Buddha Source Empire!¡±


    ¡°Oh, the top ten Golden Cores,¡± responded Yang Xiaotian with surprise.


    ¡°Although He Zhen is strong, he¡¯s nothingpared to Wei Zongyuan,¡± Zuo Qiu continued, ¡°Wei Zongyuan holds a sehr hoch status within Celestial Burial Academy. In the hearts of millions of students, he¡¯s like a godly figure.¡±


    ¡°You can offend anyone, but never cross Wei Zongyuan.¡±

 Chapter 282: 282: Let Him Wait Outside the Book Pavilion

    Chapter 282: Let Him Wait Outside the Book Pavilion


    ¡°A godlike existence?¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in astonishment.


    Zuo Qiu spoke fearfully, ¡°Indeed, if he were to call out, I¡¯m afraid hundreds of thousands of students from the Celestial Burial Academy would heed hismand and act.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Students of the Celestial Burial Academy came from the Buddha Source Empire and the surrounding empires. For Wei Zongyuan tomand the obedience of hundreds of thousands of students, his status in the Academy indeed must be very high.


    Zuo Qiu lowered his voice and said, ¡°It is said that he has been taken as a direct disciple by the Demon Sky Sword God!¡±


    Demon Sky Sword God!


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Above the gate of the Celestial Burial Academy, the name of the Demon Sky Sword God was inscribed before that of his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity. Their names were closely ced next to each other.


    Even when Yang Xiaotian was in the Divine Dragon Empire, he had heard of the towering reputation of the Demon Sky Sword God.


    Unexpectedly, Wei Zongyuan had caught the eye of the Demon Sky Sword God and had been made his direct disciple.<div>


    ¡°Although he is at the peak of Martial Ancestor just like you, he has forged a Sword God Command,¡± continued Zuo Qiu. ¡°All those under hismand, holding the Sword God Command, are as if he himself is present; even many family heads show utmost respect upon seeing the Sword God Command.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows furrowed.


    He had received the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword from the Heaven-Prating Divine Master Hong Feng, and he was the chosen sessor of the Divine Master¡¯s mantle. Having condensed the eight Strongest Sword Hearts, he himself did not dare to im the title of Sword God.


    And yet, Wei Zongyuan, merely being taken as a direct disciple by the Demon Sky Sword God, was so arrogant as to dare im the title of Sword God.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion flew toward the Celestial Burial Book Pavilion.


    He wanted to take a look at the book left by the Celestial Burial Ancestor about the Celestial Burial Mountain and learn more about the Celestial Burial Mountain and the Innate Sword Formation therein.


    On the way, Zuo Qiu briefed Yang Xiaotian about the intricate power dynamics within the Celestial Burial Academy, as well as some powerful old ancestors and incredibly talented geniuses.


    Yang Xiaotian gained a clear understanding of the various powers within the Celestial Burial Academy.


    However, just as the two of them arrived at the Academy¡¯s Book Pavilion, they saw a few people approaching from afar, who stopped Yang Xiaotian from entering the Book Pavilion.


    After stopping Yang Xiaotian, one of them took out a token.


    There was nothing special about this token; it just had a sword engraved on it.


    Upon seeing this token, Zuo Qiu¡¯s face turned pale, ¡°Sword God Command!¡±


    The man saw that Zuo Qiu recognized the Sword God Command and unequivocally said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian, correct? To see this Command is as if you were seeing our young master himself. Since you recognize the Sword God Command, you shoulde with us; our young master wishes to see you.¡± He then made a gesture indicating that Yang Xiaotian should follow.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the Sword God Command and said to the people, ¡°I am going into the Book Pavilion to read. If he wants to see me, tell him to wait outside the Book Pavilion.¡±


    ¡°When I finish reading the book, I¡¯ll consider whether or not to meet with him.¡±


    The subordinates of Wei Zongyuan were bbergasted and couldn¡¯t believe what they had heard.


    Yang Xiaotian actually expected their young master to wait outside of the Book Pavilion for him? And he wasn¡¯t even certain he would meet him, only that he would consider it!


    ¡°Moreover, go back and tell Wei Zongyuan that he, a mere Martial Ancestor, dares to call himself Sword God and has you unt a Sword God Command to show off. If he doesn¡¯t feel ashamed, I am embarrassed on his behalf,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    The faces of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates turnedpletely dark.<div>


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, how dare you!¡± bellowed one of them in a sudden rage.


    In their eyes, their young master was an extraordinary figure; Yang Xiaotian had the audacity to have him wait outside the Book Pavilion.


    The one holding the Sword God Command stopped the others and looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Are you certain you won¡¯t go to meet our young master?¡± He then said, ¡°You¡¯d better think carefully. Offending our young master is like offending the entire Celestial Burial Academy.¡±


    ¡°At that point, you will find staying in the Celestial Burial Academy to continue your studies quite difficult!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian let out a softugh, ¡°Offending him is like offending the entire Celestial Burial Academy? The way you speak, it¡¯s as if he is the dean of the Academy himself.¡±


    He did not waste any more words with them and walked into the Book Pavilion.


    Several of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates watched as Yang Xiaotian entered the Book Pavilion, all with ugly looks on their faces.


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, he¡¯s so disrespectful!¡± one of them said in a rage.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back and report to the young master,¡± said the one holding the Sword God Command.


    So, the group turned around and flew back to Wei Zongyuan¡¯s cave mansion.


    Thus, as Yang Xiaotian entered the Book Pavilion to search for the book on Celestial Burial Mountain, they returned to Wei Zongyuan.


    Wei Zongyuan was surprised that his Sword God Command could not summon Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Young Master, you don¡¯t know how arrogant Yang Xiaotian is! He said if you want to see him, you need to wait outside the Book Pavilion,¡± one of them angrily said.


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s expression remained calm, ¡°Did he really say that?¡±


    ¡°He did indeed,¡± the subordinate holding the Sword God Command replied respectfully, ¡°Moreover, he said that you, being merely a Martial Ancestor, dare to call yourself Sword God, unting your Sword God Command everywhere without feeling ashamed. He stated that he is embarrassed on your behalf.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s entire body burst out with Sword Qi, and the stone stools in every corner of the courtyard were instantly cut into countless pieces.


    ¡°Young Master, shall we capture him and bring him before you?¡± one of them whispered.<div>


    Wei Zongyuan sneered, ¡°Do you think I, Wei Zongyuan, need to resort to such methods to see someone?¡±


    Several of them trembled and did not dare to say much more.


    ¡°Earth me!¡± Wei Zongyuan said coldly, ¡°He thinks just because he has the Earth me, he can be on equal footing with me!¡±


    ¡°What a frog in a well!¡±


    After Yang Xiaotian entered the Book Pavilion, he made his way to the highest floor of the pavilion.


    Zuo Qiu followed behind Yang Xiaotian but couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly.


    He had truly not expected Yang Xiaotian to dare to refuse Wei Zongyuan.


    However, he couldn¡¯t ess the highest floor of the Celestial Burial Book Pavilion; he could only wait on the first floor for Yang Xiaotian to be cautious of the book spirits. He warned Yang Xiaotian, advising him not to force his way if he couldn¡¯t get through.


    Normally, starting from the second floor, the Celestial Burial Book Pavilion would charge an entrance fee, but Yang Xiaotian was exempt from all costs. Hence, after dering his identity, he reached the highest floor of the pavilion.


    Upon entering the highest floor of the Book Pavilion, he made his way to the deepest part.


    On his way, he encountered several powerful book spirits that blocked his path.


    Yang Xiaotian did not summon the two Beast Gods, but merely had Master Ding protect him. Despite the bombardments of the book spirits, he reached the deepest part of the Book Pavilion without major incidents, where he found the book ¡°Celestial Burial Mountain.¡±


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was carefully perusing the book on Celestial Burial Mountain, news that Yang Xiaotian possessed the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me spread rapidly throughout the Celestial Burial Academy.<div>


    The fact that Yang Xiaotian had declined Wei Zongyuan¡¯s invitation was also spread around, and before long, Yang Xiaotian became the talk of the Academy among millions of students during their leisure time.


    Since the only ones who could enjoy fee waivers at the academy were Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan, manypared the two.


    While the outside world was abuzz with discussions, Yang Xiaotian was unaware, engrossed in the world of books within the pavilion.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Book Pavilion, several days had passed.


    This visit to the pavilion had been immensely fruitful. In the book on Celestial Burial Mountain, the Celestial Burial Ancestor had once described a scenario where the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder furiously bombarded the mountain, and for a brief moment, the Innate Sword Formation atop the mountain ceased.


    In the instant when numerous strands of Innate Sword Qi dissipated, the shadow of an ancient cave mansion appeared.


    If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, that ancient cave mansion was the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    The Azure God Cave Mansion was located deep inside the Innate Sword Formation of Celestial Burial Mountain.

 Chapter 283: 283: Climbing to Sword God Peak

    Chapter 283: Climbing to Sword God Peak


    Moreover, from the book about Celestial Burial Mountain, he learned that there were definitely more than one Innate Sword Formation and Innate Sword Spirit, and their ranks should be high.


    ¡°Not just one.¡± Xiaotian¡¯s heart rejoiced.


    If that was the case, then there was hope for him to condense the ninth Sword Heart.


    Out of the hundreds of empires on the Azure God Continent, there were vast numbers of Sword Dao Geniuses, notcking those who had condensed Sword Hearts, even capable of condensing the seventh, the eighth Sword Hearts.


    But Sword Dao Geniuses who could condense the ninth Sword Heart were extremely rare.


    Some said that as long as one could condense nine Sword Hearts, there was hope of bing a Sword God in the future!


    Although it wasn¡¯t absolute, the significance of the ninth Sword Heart could still be seen.


    The ninth Sword Heart was an extremely important watershed.


    Now, he was just waiting to ascend Celestial Burial Mountain on the first of next month.


    It could be said that everything was ready, just waiting for the east wind.<div>


    Zuo Qiu, who was guarding outside the Book Pavilion, rushed forward to greet Yang Xiaotian as he saw himing out, and with a bitter smile, he said, ¡°My dear grandfather, you have finallye out.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t know how many times Senior Sister Mu hase looking for you these past few days.¡±


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian remember that Mu Yunchun had said she wanted to discuss something with him in the evening.


    During the days he spent in the Book Pavilion, aside from reading the book about Celestial Burial Mountain, he also read many of the pavilion¡¯s rare and ancient texts, which caused him to lose track of time.


    Zuo Qiu chuckled and said, ¡°Brother, now that you¡¯re out, why don¡¯t we go discuss matters with her tonight?¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°I won¡¯t go, you go ahead.¡±


    Zuo Qiu swallowed hard and said, ¡°Even if I had five legs, I wouldn¡¯t dare go. There was a student who sneaked up to Senior Sister Mu¡¯s Peach Blossom Peak at night, and she snapped off all three of his legs.¡±


    ¡°So I¡¯d rather not. I still want to walk on three legs.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was startled for a moment, then smiled.


    ¡°During the few days you were in the Book Pavilion, Celestial Burial Academy was in an uproar. Many were talking about you rejecting Wei Zongyuan, and even many wereparing you to Wei Zongyuan,¡± Zuo Qiu said. ¡°Moreover, He Zhen deliberately spread rumors, saying that you intentionally hid your battle strength during the talent assessment at the stone monument.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re saying your true talent is six thousand!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re saying you have higher talent than Wei Zongyuan!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s doing this to deliberately incite hatred against you, to make Wei Zongyuan and his followers hate you even more!¡±


    Spreading rumors?


    It couldn¡¯t really be considered spreading rumors.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged: ¡°How is that He Zhen now?¡±


    ¡°His right arm has been reattached, but it¡¯s not as good as before,¡± Zuo Qiu said. ¡°It¡¯s said that the He Family from Eastern Deste has sent a lot of experts here, and they¡¯ve already left the Eastern Deste, probably arriving by the end of the month.¡±


    Upon saying this, he advised Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Now, even more people in Celestial Burial Academy are eyeing your Saint-level Buddha Pill; brother, why don¡¯t you leave the academy for a while, hide away somewhere outside?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head upon hearing this, ¡°I¡¯m still nning to ascend Burying Heaven Mountain next month.¡±<div>


    Although Zuo Qiu had not been in contact with Xiaotian for long, he knew Xiaotian¡¯s nature and no longer tried to persuade him.


    He remembered something and spoke, ¡°Also, the Little Medicine King came looking for you yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Little Medicine King?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Yes, Little Medicine King Li Yutian! He is the grandson of the Grand Master of Pharmacists of the Buddha Source Empire Pharmacist Hall. His alchemy talent is recognized as the best among the young generation of the Buddha Source Empire,¡± Zuo Qiu said. ¡°Apart from him, there¡¯s also Long Batian, Shi Huang, Phoenix Lady!¡±<div>


    Long Batian, Shi Huang, Phoenix Lady, they were the paragons of the young generation in Celestial Burial Academy, their Martial Dao Talent even higher than He Zhen¡¯s.


    Moreover, the three of them were of prestigious identity,ing from the superpowers of the Buddha Source Empire.


    Long Batian was from Long Family of Zhongzhou.


    Shi Huang was also from Shi Family of Zhongzhou.


    And the Phoenix Lady was from the Phoenix n.


    The Phoenix n had a heritage that dated back to ancient times, with a powerful lineage, and the Phoenix Lady was the n Leader¡¯s daughter.


    Whether it was the Long Family, the Shi Family, or the Phoenix n, they were all among the most powerful superpowers in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Zuo Qiu had already mentioned these three to Yang Xiaotian before.


    Yang Xiaotian wondered, what did these four want with him bying together? Their joint approach must signify an important matter.


    ¡°Did they say what it was about?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°They didn¡¯t specify what it was, just mentioned it was an important matter they wished to discuss with you, and that once you came out, you could find them at Medicine King Peak,¡± Zuo Qiu shook his head as he spoke, then he leaned in, smiling, ¡°Brother, Wine Peak has recently produced a fine wine; it¡¯s rare for you to be out and about, shall we go check out Wine Peak?¡±


    Wine Peak was the ce where the Celestial Burial Academy produced wine.


    It had all sorts of fine wines.<div>


    It was also the ce most frequented by the millions of students from the Celestial Burial Academy when they took a break from their training.


    Seeing Zuo Qiu¡¯s craving look, Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡±


    At the moment Yang Xiaotian and Zuo Qiu set off for Wine Peak, in the great hall of Medicine King Peak, Little Medicine King Li Yutian, Long Batian, Shi Huang, and the Phoenix Lady were gathered, discussing Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°What do you think, will Yang Xiaotian agree to join us to the Evil Land?¡± the Phoenix Lady asked.


    Dragon Overlord King¡¯s voice was loud, ¡°The treasure of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, he won¡¯t be able to resist! Besides, it¡¯s highly likely that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire is in the treasury of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.¡±


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, one of the top ten Divine mes.


    ¡°If Yang Xiaotian really helps us open the treasury of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, do we have to split the treasure with him?¡± Shi Huang frowned, obviously not wanting to share the treasure of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God with an additional person.


    Little Medicine King Li Yutian sneered, ¡°Once he opens the treasury of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, he will no longer be of any use to us. Then, we can simply kill him.¡±


    ¡°And we¡¯ll divide the seven Saint-level Buddha Pills on his body!¡±


    ¡°Killing two birds with one stone!¡±


    At this point, their subordinates came to report that Yang Xiaotian had already left the Book Pavilion and gone to Wine Peak.


    Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately stood up and headed towards Wine Peak.


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian had arrived at Wine Peak.<div>


    There, hundreds of streams of wine flowed down like waterfalls.


    The wine cascaded non-stop between the peaks.


    Even from a great distance, an intoxicating aroma of wine could be smelled.


    From afar, looking at the hundreds of wine waterfalls, Zuo Qiu couldn¡¯t help swallowing his saliva.


    However, just as the two were about to settle down at Wine Peak, they saw arge group of experts flying towards them from afar.


    Thisrge group of experts probably numbered sixty or seventy thousand.


    Seeing the neers, Zuo Qiu¡¯s face changed dramatically, ¡°It¡¯s ck Wind Sect¡¯s Young Sect Hierarch Chen Sha!¡±


    Chen Sha was one of the many followers of Wei Zongyuan.


    Although the ck Wind Sect was not as powerful as the He Family or Long Family, it was still one of the superpowers in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Chen Sha was known for his ruthless methods, with the disciples of various major families who had died under his hands numbering in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.


    Soon, Chen Sha arrived with his experts.


    The sixty or seventy thousand experts spread out behind him with an overwhelming momentum, all ring at Yang Xiaotian and Zuo Qiu with murderous intent in their eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯re Yang Xiaotian, right?¡± Chen Sha¡¯s gaze rested upon Yang Xiaotian, his eyes filled with ck Demon energy, ¡°What gives you the right to have our young master wait for you outside the Book Pavilion!¡±<div>


    ¡°And what makes you worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as our young master!¡±


    ¡°In my eyes, you are not even worthy to carry our young master¡¯s shoes!¡±


    ¡°If you crawl from here to Sword God Peak right now, we can forget what happened before, otherwise, I will crush your bones to dust right now!¡±


    Sword God Peak was where Wei Zongyuan resided.


    It was hundreds of miles away from Wine Peak.


    If Yang Xiaotian were to crawl there, who knows when he would arrive.

 Chapter 284: 284 Half a Move

    Chapter 284: Half a Move


    Climb to Sword God Peak!


    Zuo Qiu¡¯s face changed upon hearing Chen Sha demand that Yang Xiaotian climb from here to Sword God Peak.


    If Yang Xiaotian truly climbed from here to Sword God Peak, he would be theughing stock of not only the Celestial Burial Academy but the entire Buddha Source Empire, and there was no telling whether Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Dao heart would be destroyed.


    This was simply more ruthless than killing Yang Xiaotian.


    After Chen Sha finished speaking, a proud smile appeared on his face, ¡°So, will you climb now, or shall I crush your bones one by one?¡±


    However, just as he finished his words, suddenly, a figure shed, and Yang Xiaotian was already before him, a punch fueled with Asura Force, boom, on Chen Sha¡¯s stomach.


    After several months, the familiar ¡°thud¡± echoed through Heaven and Earth.


    The sound was like thunder.


    It shook everyone¡¯s eardrums.


    Chen Sha was sent flying like a shooting star.<div>


    But it wasn¡¯t over yet; Yang Xiaotian, quick as the wind, pursued him, and threw another punch.


    Thud!


    Still the stomach!


    Still Asura Force!


    As Chen Sha continued to fly backward like a shooting star, Yang Xiaotian kept up, the third punch!


    The fourth punch!


    The fifth punch!


    Every punch was to the stomach, every punch carried the Asura Force.


    Chen Sha was pummeled so mercilessly, he couldn¡¯t distinguish whether his father was male or female; he was pummeled until tears streamed down his face continuously; he was pummeled until he screamed like a ughtered pig.


    After several punches from Yang Xiaotian, Chen Sha was finally smashed against the mountain wall ahead.


    However, it still wasn¡¯t over. Yang Xiaotian threw another punch, directly at his head, sting it into the mountain wall.


    The sound of the impact rumbled on and on.


    Mountains and rocks tumbled down.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Nobody expected Yang Xiaotian to make a move so suddenly, and even less did they anticipate that Chen Sha, a third-tier Emperor Realm fighter, would be battered like a pig by Yang Xiaotian,pletely unable to fight back.


    Who was Chen Sha? He was the young Sect Hierarch of the ck Wind Sect! He wasn¡¯t just any ordinary third-tier Emperor Realm; he had exceptional talent and powerfulbat abilities.


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°Damn, damn, damn!¡±<div>


    Zuo Qiu spat out in shock at the scene before him.


    Who could have thought that Chen Sha, cruel and terrifying to all, would one day be pummeled like a dead pig.


    He could only use ¡°damn¡± to express his invigoration and shock.


    Moreover, what shocked him even more was that Yang Xiaotian was at the peak of the Martial Ancestor level. For someone at the Martial Ancestor realm to challenge a third-tier Martial Emperor was already astounding, let alone brutally beating one.<div>


    In the midst of their shock, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates reacted, furious. But just as they were about to swarm and attack Yang Xiaotian, suddenly a deep voice roared, ¡°Stop!¡±


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates jarred as if their minds exploded.


    Clearly, the opponent had used sound-based Divine Skills.


    Everyone turned in surprise to see Little Medicine King Li Yutian, Long Batian, Shi Huang, and Phoenix Lady flying from afar.


    The one who had just spoken was Long Batian.


    Seeing it was Little Medicine King, Long Batian, and the others, the faces of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates changed.


    Even if Wei Zongyuan himself arrived, he wouldn¡¯t dare ignore Little Medicine King and Long Batian¡¯s group.


    After all, each of them represented an enormous power.


    Arriving at the scene, Long Batian scanned the crowd and said, ¡°Young Master Yang is our friend. You may leave now.¡±


    The faces of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates turned ugly.


    ¡°Young Master Long, Yang Xiaotian is the individual our young master seeks,¡± one of them stepped forward and spoke with courage.


    Long Batian nced at the individual, ¡°I¡¯ve said it already, Young Master Yang is a friend of us four. You all may leave now, I do not wish to repeat myself a third time.¡±


    As he said this, Long Batian¡¯s aura surged wildly, and a series of blood dragons emerged behind him.<div>


    Wei Zongyuan and his subordinates nced at Long Batian and his threepanions, eventually having no choice but to retreat.


    When they retreated, they had to painstakingly dig Chen Sha out from within the mountain and take him away with them.


    However, when everyone saw Chen Sha¡¯s convulsing and miserable state, their hands all trembled.


    Even the Little Medicine King, Li Yutian, and Long Batian¡¯s group changed their expressions; clearly, they hadn¡¯t expected Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength to be so terrifying.


    After Wei Zongyuan and his subordinates had left, Li Yutian, Long Batian, and the other three flew towards Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Young Master Yang, my name is Li Yutian,¡± Li Yutian greeted Yang Xiaotian with a friendly smile, ¡°Young Master Yang¡¯s prowess is unparalleled, truly astonishing.¡±


    Thereafter, Long Batian, Shi Huang, and Phoenix Lady also greeted Yang Xiaotian in a friendly manner.


    ¡°We¡¯vee to discuss an important matter with Young Master Yang,¡± Li Yutian said with a smile, then nced at Zuo Qiu, indicating that it was time for him to step aside.


    Zuo Qiu took the hint and entered Wine Peak ahead of the others.


    After Zuo Qiu left, Li Yutian began, ¡°We¡¯vee to seek Young Master Yang because of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God Treasure.¡±


    ¡°The Thousand Buddha Medicine God Treasure!¡± Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Although he had guessed that Li Yutian and Long Batian had sought him out for an important matter, he didn¡¯t expect it to be about the Thousand Buddha Medicine God Treasure.


    ¡°The four of us have discovered the Thousand Buddha Medicine God Treasure,¡± Phoenix Lady said. ¡°However, the gate to the treasure is made from ckglow Ice, and we simply cannot open it.¡±<div>


    ¡°Even the ordinary Abnormal Fires are incapable of melting this ckglow Ice.¡±


    At this point, she paused.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian already understood what the four wanted from him.


    They were hoping to use his Earth me to open the gate to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God Treasure.


    Long Batian smiled and said, ¡°Be at ease, Young Master Yang. If you help us open the gate to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God Treasure, we will share the treasures inside equally among the five of us. Moreover, we suspect that within the treasure resides the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.¡±


    ¡°The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes lit up.


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire is one of the top ten Divine mes, unmatched in power.


    If he could subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, then he would possess two major Divine mes.


    ¡°When the timees, we can let you have the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire,¡± Long Batianughed.


    He knew Yang Xiaotian was tempted.


    In reality, Divine mes were so daunting to control that they couldn¡¯t tame them even if they tried. It was better to be generous and let Yang Xiaotian have the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Of course, they didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could actually subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    In the Martial Soul World, no one was capable of subduing a Divine me.<div>


    ¡°Alright,¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired, ¡°Where is the treasure located? When do we set out?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s in the Evil Land,¡± Shi Huang said. ¡°We n to set out tomorrow.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.


    There were still twenty days before the first of next month when he would ascend Celestial Burial Mountain. There was enough time to go to the Evil Land and return.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and Li Yutian¡¯s group had agreed to journey to the Evil Land tomorrow, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates had brought Chen Sha back to Sword God Peak.


    Looking at Chen Sha who was beaten beyond recognition, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°Was it Yang Xiaotian¡¯s doing?¡±


    He had not expected that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength would be greater than he imagined, with not even Chen Sha being his match.


    ¡°It was Yang Xiaotian,¡± one of the subordinates answered with his head lowered.


    ¡°How many moves did they exchange?¡± Wei Zongyuan asked.


    ¡°Half a move!¡± stammered the subordinate tremblingly.


    Wei Zongyuan spat out his tea, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    The subordinate recounted the events in detail, trembling all the while.


    The more Wei Zongyuan listened, the more shocked he became, and the uglier his expression got.

 Chapter 285: 285: Look Carefully With Your Eyes Wide Open

    Chapter 285: Look Carefully With Your Eyes Wide Open


    ¡°`


    Chen Sha, a third-tier Martial Emperor, was unable to take even a single move from Yang Xiaotian.


    He was getting thoroughly thrashed.


    No wonder that subordinate had said it was half a move.


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s face shifted between shades of dark and light, if this was the case, then Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength might be no weaker than his own.


    Thinking about how the newly arrived Yang Xiaotian might match hisbat strength, Wei Zongyuan felt a terrible taste in his heart.


    He was reputed to be the number one among the younger generation at Celestial Burial Academy¡ªif Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength was not weaker than his, what did that make him?


    Two number ones?


    Thinking about there being two number ones gave him a feeling like a knife twisting in his heart.


    He had condensed ten top-quality Golden Cores, and his talent measurement on the stele exceeded five thousand, making him the student with the highest talent measurement at Celestial Burial Academy in nearly a millennium.<div>


    He was also the direct disciple of the Demon Sky Sword God.


    What qualifications did Yang Xiaotian have to be ranked equally with him?


    Indeed, after the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s thrashing of Chen Sha spread, the students of Celestial Burial Academy were once again shaken, with much discussion arising.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength is too terrifying, isn¡¯t it? At the peak of Martial Ancestor, he actually beat a third-tier Martial Emperor like Chen Sha to the point where he couldn¡¯t even fight back. I heard that in the blink of an eye, Chen Sha took seven or eight punches, so hard that he even crapped himself!¡±


    ¡°No way!¡±


    ¡°Absolutely true! Wei Zongyuan¡¯s tens of thousands of subordinates were all watching, but Yang Xiaotian moved too quickly for anyone to react.¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength might truly be on par with Wei Zongyuan? Who do you think is stronger or weaker between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan?¡±


    ¡°If you ask me, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent might actually exceed six thousand, and hisbat strength is probably stronger than Wei Zongyuan¡¯s!¡±


    For a while, the students of Celestial Burial Academy were discussing so animatedly that their saliva flew.


    Although Wei Zongyuan had monstrous talent and was acimed as the number one among the young generation at Celestial Burial Academy,manding immense prestige, there were even more who envied him. During these discussions, it was inevitable that some would add fuel to the fire, intentionally belittling Wei Zongyuan to less than nothing.


    They deliberately said that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent exceeded Wei Zongyuan¡¯s by a thousand!


    They deliberately said Wei Zongyuan was no match for Yang Xiaotian with one hand tied behind his back.


    When Wei Zongyuan heard these rumors, his face turned purple with rage.


    ¡°Damn it, these people are deliberately spreading rumors; I¡¯m going to drag them out now and p their mouths in!¡± Liang Lin, a subordinate of Wei Zongyuan, bellowed in anger.


    Liang Lin was the son of a great marshal from Buddha Source Empire.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± Wei Zongyuanmanded. ¡°How many people can you p? Can you shut everyone¡¯s mouth?¡± As he spoke, his eyes turned frigidly cold, ¡°They say that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent exceeds mine, right? Then I¡¯ll make them open their eyes wide and see clearly who truly has the higher talent!¡±


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates looked at each other.


    Liang Lin had a vague idea of what their young master intended to do.


    Wei Zongyuan asked, ¡°Is Yang Xiaotian still at Wine Peak?¡±<div>


    ¡°He¡¯s still there.¡±


    Momentster, Wei Zongyuan soared into the sky with a legion of subordinates following behind, heading majestically towards Wine Peak.


    As soon as the students of Celestial Burial Academy saw Wei Zongyuan in motion, they all surged towards Wine Peak too.


    Soon, Wei Zongyuan led his followers to Wine Peak and found Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Wei Zongyuan, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood before Yang Xiaotian, his robe billowing without any wind, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, right? The students of Celestial Burial Academy say you¡¯ve concealed yourbat strength in the talent test, iming your talent is six thousand. Do you dare topete with me in another talent test?¡±


    ¡°Not interested,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied without a second thought, and continued drinking.


    He would rather practice than waste his time on such trifles.


    Wei Zongyuan had not expected Yang Xiaotian to reject him so tly, and he clenched his fists tightly.


    This was the second time Yang Xiaotian had refused him.


    ¡°`


    The first time, it was his subordinates who looked for him, bearing the Sword God Command. Yang Xiaotian had refused the Sword God Command.


    This time, he hade in person only to be directly refused!


    It was the first time Wei Zongyuan had been refused when he spoke personally.


    He stopped his furiously enraged subordinates and stared coldly at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you not dare?¡±


    ¡°Not dare?¡± Yang Xiaotian nced at Wei Zongyuan and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m just not interested, that¡¯s all.¡±


    Liang Lin couldn¡¯t help but say angrily, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think our young master is interested inpeting with you? Now in the Celestial Burial Academy, there are rumors saying your talent surpasses that of our young master. It must have been you who deliberately had these rumors spread, right?¡±


    ¡°What, you¡¯re feeling guilty now?¡±<div>


    Wei Zongyuan stared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°If my talent is lower than yours, I will give you seven sacred elixirs. If your talent is lower than mine, you will hand over the seven sacred Buddha elixirs from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron!¡±


    Clearly, Wei Zongyuan also coveted the seven sacred Buddha elixirs in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s possession.


    ¡°Seven sacred elixirs?¡± Yang Xiaotian put down his wine cup.


    If he could obtain another seven sacred elixirs, Old Meng and Old Bing¡¯s strength could greatly increase, and perhaps they would soon break through to the second tier of Divine Spirit.


    ¡°Indeed, seven sacred elixirs,¡± Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hand shed and seven sacred elixirs appeared.


    As the seven sacred elixirs appeared, a fragrance spread, overshadowing the scent of wine from Wine Peak.


    It seemed that Wei Zongyuan had also encountered some great fortune, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t possess so many sacred elixirs.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up, stretched, and with seven sacred elixirs at stake, it was an opportunity too good to miss.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan flew towards the talent testing stele.


    The news spread, and students from the Celestial Burial Academy surged towards the talent testing stele from all directions in a frenzy.


    Before Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan had even arrived, the area around the stele was already packed like a sea of people.


    Upon hearing the news, Mu Yunchun also rushed over from Peach Blossom Peak, fearing she would miss an exciting scene.


    Lately, the whole Celestial Burial Academy was abuzz with the im that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent reached six thousand, and she too was very curious whether Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent truly was six thousand.<div>


    As soon as Little Medicine King and Long Batian heard that Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan were going to test their talents, they too hurried over.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent couldn¡¯t really be six thousand, could it?¡± Phoenix Lady said.


    Hearing this, Long Batian shook his head with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just a rumor deliberately spread by He Zhen, do you really believe that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent reaches six thousand? Let me tell you the truth, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s real talent is far higher than when he was tested.¡±


    Little Medicine King and Phoenix Lady were astonished, ¡°You mean to say that Wei Zongyuan also concealed his battle power when his talent was tested back then? His real talent is much more than just five thousand one hundred thirty-two?¡±


    Back then, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent was recorded as five thousand one hundred thirty-two, which was already shockingly astounding. If his real talent far exceeded that, it would be utterly terrifying.


    ¡°So, Yang Xiaotian is bound to lose?¡± Phoenix Lady remarked.


    Long Batian did not speak, implicitly agreeing.


    Just as Little Medicine King and Long Batian arrived at the stele, Yang Xiaotian, Wei Zongyuan, and Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates also reached the stele.


    All the spectators voluntarily cleared a path.


    Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan walked up to the stele.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, will you go first, or shall I?¡± Wei Zongyuan asked.


    ¡°You go ahead,¡± Yang Xiaotian stepped to one side.


    Wei Zongyuan took another step closer to the stele and said indifferently, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you really think that the talent I showed during my test was my true talent?¡±<div>


    As Wei Zongyuan spoke these words, those present could not help but be astonished.


    ¡°Today, I will let you see just how formidable my real talent is!¡± Having said this, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s True Yuan began to circte, and a powerful aura swept across Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Open your eyes wide and see clearly!¡±

    Chapter 286: The Divine Miracle of My Buddha Source Empire!


    ¡°`


    As Wei Zongyuan finished speaking, strands of Sword Qi began to surface all over his body.


    Amazingly, these Sword Qis were multi-colored.


    The multi-colored Sword Qi fanned out around Wei Zongyuan¡¯s body like a peacock spreading its tail.


    The moment the Sword Qi appeared, its sharp and extreme force made everyone retreat in shock.


    ¡°What kind of Sword Body is this?! So powerful!¡± everyone eximed in astonishment.


    Even Little Medicine King Li Yutian and Long Batian were surprised and couldn¡¯t recognize what Sword Body Wei Zongyuan had.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Vajra Unmoving Sword Body!¡± Phoenix Lady¡¯s face changed drastically when she saw Wei Zongyuan¡¯s multi-colored Sword Qi and eximed in shock.


    As Phoenix Lady spoke, some Elders who had heard of certain legends all underwent a drastic change in expression.


    ¡°Vajra Unmoving Sword Body? What kind of Innate Sword Body is that, is it very powerful?¡± A n disciple who had not heard of Vajra Unmoving Sword Body couldn¡¯t help but ask in confusion.<div>


    ¡°Not just powerful!¡± an Elder said with an extremely serious expression, ¡°It is incredibly terrifying. It is a Sword Body cultivated through Acquired means, originating from the Peacock n.¡±


    ¡°This Sword Body is known as the most powerful Sword Body within the Peacock n.¡±


    ¡°Its attack is terrifying, its defense invincible!¡±


    The Peacock n!


    The faces of many powerful individuals changed drastically.


    In the Buddha Source Empire, there is an ancient legend that the founder of the Empire was an ancestor of the Peacock n, who is also revered as the Buddha Mother of the Buddha Source Empire.


    The Peacock n is the most powerful n in the Empire, bar none.


    No one had thought that Wei Zongyuan had even cultivated the Peacock n¡¯s most powerful Sword Body.


    ¡°If Wei Zongyuan has even cultivated the Peacock n¡¯s most powerful Sword Body, then what is his truebat strength?¡± A n disciple eximed in shock, ¡°Surely it doesn¡¯t surpass six thousand, does it?¡±


    Six thousand!


    Everyone was shocked to their core.


    In the countless years since the foundation of Celestial Burial Academy, there have been Invincible Saint Kings, Sword Gods, and the Ancestor of Sword Dao, but never has anyone¡¯s talent surpassed six thousand.


    Six thousand was a chasm that seemed insurmountable.


    If Wei Zongyuan¡¯s true talent did surpass six thousand, it would indeed be a sight that dazzles through the ages.


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Wei Zongyuan let out a howl towards the sky, the roar echoing through the surrounding mountains. Suddenly, he made his move.


    As soon as he acted, the Vajra Unmoving Sword Qi behind him burst forth with blinding brilliance, as if the Sword Qi would pierce through the heavens.


    In an instant, countless Sword Qis struck the Talent Stele.


    The moment the Vajra Unmoving Sword Qi hit the stele, it emitted a resonant hum, and the entire stele burst forth with an intensely bright light.


    The strong light erupting from the stele was so intense that it caused everyone¡¯s eyes to sting.<div>


    Everyone was utterly shocked.


    This was a phenomenon never seen before.


    In the countless years of its existence, the Celestial Burial Academy had never seen anyone cause the Talent Stele to burst with such terrifying brilliance.


    A dazzling light began to rise from the base of the stele at an astonishing speed that set hearts racing.<div>


    Almost in the space of a breath, it surged to a thousand!


    Seeing the light rise so quickly, everyone¡¯s hearts tightened.


    Then, in the blink of an eye, it broke through two thousand.


    Afterward, it continued its astonishing ascent to three thousand!


    Seeing Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent light soar to three thousand in just a few breaths, everyone gasped in cold air.


    Such a soaring speed was simply unprecedented.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent light continued to skyrocket, breaking through four thousand!


    The instant it broke through four thousand, the stele¡¯s light surged dramatically.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just a possibility to break through six thousand!¡± Many people were shocked to see Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent light rise so swiftly.


    ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of if, but a certainty!¡± Phoenix Lady dered with conviction.


    An Elder also spoke, ¡°Throughout the countless years, only one person from the Peacock n has ever cultivated the Vajra Unmoving Sword Body. Wei Zongyuan¡¯s sess means his talent is incredibly terrifying; he will undoubtedly break through six thousand!¡±


    Many held their breath in anticipation.


    ¡°`<div>


    Staring intently at the Talent Stele.


    If Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent were to break through six thousand, this would definitely be a Divine Miracle of the Buddha Source Empire, and they would be the witnesses to the birth of a Divine Miracle.


    Without suspense, the light of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent surged to five thousand one hundred thirty-two.


    This was the figure Wei Zongyuan had achieved during his test years ago.


    However, this time, after the light of the talent broke through five thousand one hundred thirty-two, it continued to soar upwards.


    Seeing that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent did indeed exceed that of his past, a great shock surged through everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Very soon, the light of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent broke through five thousand two hundred.


    Immediately after.


    ¡°Five thousand three hundred!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Five thousand seven hundred!¡±


    As Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent gradually neared six thousand, everyone watched the changes on the Stele with immense tension.


    Li Yutian, Long Batian, and Shi Huang were all deeply shocked to see Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent breakthrough to five thousand seven hundred.<div>


    Because the Celestial Burial Academy had never had anyone whose talent test could reach five thousand seven hundred.


    This was no longer just the highest in the Celestial Burial Academy for nearly a thousand years, but the highest in the history of the Celestial Burial Academy!


    ¡°Five thousand eight hundred!¡±


    When Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent broke through five thousand eight hundred, everyone boiled with excitement.


    The light of the talent was still rising.


    ¡°Five thousand nine hundred!¡±


    When Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent broke through five thousand nine hundred, many people shouted excitedly.


    Just a hundred short!


    Only a hundred short of breaking through to six thousand.


    Everyone tensed up even more.


    Many clenched their fists so tightly that their knuckles turned white, oblivious to the strain.


    Even Li Yutian, the Phoenix Lady, and several others were so nervous that their palms sweated.


    However, after breaking through to five thousand nine hundred, the light¡¯s rising speed began to slow down, and it was increasingly slower, to the point that Liang Lin and others even started praying.<div>


    ¡°Five thousand nine hundred ny!¡±


    ¡°Five thousand nine hundred ny-one!¡±


    The moment the light broke through six thousand, the entire Stele radiated dazzling brilliance, illuminating the surrounding mountains with boundless light.


    At that moment, everyone erupted with excitement.


    ¡°Six thousand!¡±


    ¡°A Divine Miracle!¡±


    ¡°A Divine Miracle of our Buddha Source Empire!¡±


    Some were even moved to tears of joy.


    For countless years, there had been discussions about the Talent Stele of the Celestial Burial Academy, and many old ancestors were convinced that no one¡¯s talent could break through six thousand.


    It was like a curse, as, for countless years, no one had ever broken through six thousand, not even the likes of Ji Wudi, Jian Changkong, Sun Moon Holy King, Demon Sky Sword God, or Green Lotus Sword Deity, these invincible beings.


    Yet now, Wei Zongyuan had shattered this curse and broken through six thousand.


    How could this not excite the crowd?


    At this time, Wang Qing was in the main hall of the Celestial Burial Academy studying the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron when the Elder of the Academy burst in, shouting excitedly, ¡°Dean, Wei Zongyuan! Wei Zongyuan has broken through to six thousand!¡±


    ¡°His talent test has broken through to six thousand!¡±


    After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Qing trembled with excitement, ¡°What did you just say, six thousand? Is it six thousand?!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s six thousand!¡± the Elder of Celestial Burial Academy dered excitedly, ¡°Absolutely certain!¡±


    Wang Qing, with tears streaming down his face, eximed, ¡°This is Heaven¡¯s blessing for our Buddha Source Empire!¡± He then dashed out of the great hall, heading towards the Stele.

 Chapter 287: 287: Invincible Throughout the Ages

    Chapter 287: Invincible Throughout the Ages


    As Wang Qing rushed towards the stele, the scene around it was still boiling.


    Boiling for a long time.


    Everyone was excited for a long time, unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts.


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates were looking at Wei Zongyuan with adoration and extreme zeal.


    As if they were looking at a god!


    A god who would be incredibly powerful in the future!


    Everyone was boiling with excitement, everyone was stirred up, but Wei Zongyuan himself was calm.


    He turned his head, looked at Yang Xiaotian as if a deity were gazing at a tiny mortal, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, my talent is six thousand! It¡¯s not toote for you to admit you were wrong.¡±


    Although Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent had broken six thousand, it had just stopped right there at the six thousand mark.


    ¡°Admit I was wrong?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the confident and condescending Wei Zongyuan and smiled faintly, ¡°Why should I admit I was wrong?¡±<div>


    He then said, ¡°Just six thousand, I can break six thousand with a casual strike.¡±


    ¡°What? Break six thousand with a casual strike!¡± The crowd on-site couldn¡¯t help but be astonished.


    Suddenly, Liang Lin burst intoughter: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, why don¡¯t you say you can break seven thousand with a casual strike?¡±


    All of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates sneered withughter.


    ¡°Maybe he can really break seven thousand with a casual strike.¡±


    The crowd burst intoughter.


    Even the Little Medicine King Li Yutian, Long Batian, and several others shook their heads and smiled.


    They thought Yang Xiaotian was being ridiculous.


    After all, Wei Zongyuan had used all his might in one strike to barely break six thousand, which was already a divine miracle never seen before, yet Yang Xiaotian imed he could break six thousand with a casual strike?


    Wasn¡¯t that ludicrous?


    Upon hearing this, Wei Zongyuanughed and looked at Yang Xiaotian as if watching a clown, ¡°Good, then I¡¯ll wait for you to casually break six thousand! Let me widen my horizons.¡±


    He then moved aside and made a gesture, indicating for Yang Xiaotian toe forward.


    Yang Xiaotian walked up to the stele.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian, including Zuo Qiu¡¯s and Mu Yunchun¡¯s.


    Upon arriving at the stele, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t summon any Sword Qi and merely threw a punch casually towards the stele.


    A very casual punch.


    Without any momentum.


    And without an earth-shattering force.


    However, when this punchnded on the stele, suddenly, there was a loud ¡°bang¡± from the stele, and the whole stele seemed about to explode, even the ground around the stele shook incessantly.<div>


    Everyone was stunned.


    Even when Wei Zongyuan had used the powerful Ming Wang Motionless Sword Body with full force, the stele had only buzzed loudly, without seeming about to explode.


    The ground around had not shaken like this either.


    Long Batian and several others were also taken aback.<div>


    While everyone was shocked, suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst from the base of the stele into the sky.


    ¡°A golden light!¡±


    ¡°How can there be a golden light!¡±


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent light was actually golden, everyone was greatly astonished.


    Because no one¡¯s talent light had ever been golden before, not even Wei Zongyuan¡¯s just now.


    It was the first time anyone had seen a golden light from the stele.


    Even Wei Zongyuan, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s golden talent light, was filled with surprise and disbelief.


    As everyone was astonished, the golden light quickly reached a thousand, and then within a breath¡¯s time, it surged past two thousand.


    The speed was so fast that it was utterly frightening.


    ¡°Three thousand!¡±


    By the time everyone realized what was happening, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s golden light had already broken past three thousand.


    Theughing crowd, including Liang Lin and others, suddenly stopped smiling.


    Heaven and Earth quieted down.<div>


    ¡°Hum!¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s golden light broke past four thousand, the light from the stele surged more intensely, illuminating the surrounding mountains in gold, and everyone seemed to have been draped in ayer of gold.


    And the ground around shook more and more violently.


    The confidence and the smile hadpletely vanished from Wei Zongyuan¡¯s face.


    In the grim expression on Wei Zongyuan¡¯s face, the golden light swiftly broke through five thousand, gushing from the monument like a fountain, causing the entire stone tablet to tremble incessantly.


    The ground around it was like a level twelve earthquake.


    ¡°Five thousand!¡± Seeing Xiaotian¡¯s golden talent light break through five thousand in just a few breaths, everyone was utterly shocked.


    ¡°Could it really break through six thousand?¡± A family elder¡¯s lips quivered.


    Just now, Xiaotian said that he could break six thousand with just a casual strike.


    Everyone, recalling what Xiaotian had just said, felt their hearts tremble.


    When Wei Zongyuan used all his power to execute the King¡¯s Immovable Sword Strike, he barely broke six thousand, which had already been a divine miracle of antiquity. If Xiaotian could break six thousand with just a casual strike, what would that be?


    Soon, the golden light surged to five thousand nine hundred.


    It continued to approach six thousand.<div>


    Everyone forgot to breathe.


    Boom!


    As Xiaotian¡¯s golden light burst through six thousand in an instant, the stone tablet exploded with a sound like that of the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder.


    The golden light, like a sea of gold, burst forth from the stone tablet, dyeing the skies above the surrounding mountains with its color.


    In that moment, everything around had turned to gold.


    The ground was like a level fifteen earthquake, causing sand and stones on the surface to dance wildly.


    ¡°Six thousand!¡± Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with shock, disbelief, and incredulity.


    A casual strike, and it actually broke six thousand?


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s face was extremely unsightly, his hands shaking.


    The Little Medicine King, Long Batian, and Phoenix Lady were also beyond shocked.


    Being geniuses only second to Wei Zongyuan, they of course understood what six thousand meant.


    The key point was that Xiaotian¡¯s golden talent light hadn¡¯t stopped; it was still climbing.


    ¡°Six thousand one hundred!¡± Someone¡¯s voice trembled as they spoke.<div>


    ¡°Six thousand two hundred!¡±


    ¡°Six thousand three hundred!¡±


    As Xiaotian¡¯s golden talent light firmly made its way toward seven thousand, step by step, everyone was shook beyondpare.


    ¡°Could it be breaking through seven thousand?¡± Someone muttered.


    Seven thousand!


    Everyone¡¯s hearts were trembling.


    ¡°Six thousand seven hundred!¡±


    ¡°Six thousand eight hundred!¡±


    As if to confirm everyone¡¯s spection, the golden light kept climbing steadily.


    ¡°Seven thousand!¡±


    The moment the golden light broke through seven thousand, the monument¡¯s golden light shot up to the heavens, piercing the clouds.


    All were pale with astonishment.


    Wei Zongyuan felt as though darkness had fallen before his eyes.


    ¡°Ancient and unmatched!¡± someone in the crowd eximed.


    Ancient and unmatched!


    Everyone was caught in a maelstrom of shock.


    From afar, Wang Qing was hurrying towards the monument when he suddenly saw the golden light shooting into the sky, scattering the clouds of the Nine Heavens, which made him exim in astonishment, ¡°What is this?¡±


    Could Wei Zongyuan¡¯s assessment still not be finished?


    Wei Zongyuan actually caused such an astonishing phenomenon!


    He couldn¡¯t help but quicken his pace towards the monument.


    When Wang Qing arrived, he saw that the area inside and out was packed with people; it was imprable, and he couldn¡¯t see what was happening inside.


    Since everyone was stunned by the extraordinary urrence at the monument, no one noticed Wang Qing¡¯s arrival.


    Elbowing his way through the crowd, Wang Qing caught sight of the golden light that had halted on the monument.


    When he saw the numbers on the monument, he cried out in shock, ¡°Seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one!¡±


    Then he turned his gaze to the figure standing in front of the stone tablet.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± he called out tremblingly.


    Even though it was just a back figure, he still recognized Xiaotian.


    The one who had caused such an extraordinary phenomenon with the monument was actually Xiaotian!

 Chapter 288: 288: The Decisive Battle at the Summit of Celestial Burial

    Chapter 288: The Decisive Battle at the Summit of Celestial Burial


    Indeed, 7,321!


    This was the talent value of a casual strike by Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone was shocked by this number of 7,321.


    Upon hearing Wang Qing¡¯s exmation, the crowd realized Wang Qing had arrived.


    ¡°Dean!¡± Everyone quickly bowed in respect.


    Wang Qing, however, walked over to Yang Xiaotian excitedly, wanting to grab his hand but not daring to, choking up, he said, ¡°Child, Celestial Burial Academy takes pride in you!¡±


    For countless ages, Celestial Burial Academy had produced invincible generations and Sword Gods who had intimidated the Azure God Continent, but never had they taken pride in someone like this.


    And now, Celestial Burial Academy was proud of Yang Xiaotian.


    Wei Zongyuan stood by the side, his face turning extremely ugly as Wang Qing said that Celestial Burial Academy took pride in Yang Xiaotian.


    To be someone Celestial Burial Academy took pride in, what an honor it was.<div>


    Originally, this honor was his, yet Yang Xiaotian had emerged!


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I challenge you to a duel!¡± It was at this moment, suddenly, that Wei Zongyuan spoke out.


    A duel!


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s words were shocking.


    Everyone was greatly surprised.


    No one expected Wei Zongyuan to suddenly challenge Yang Xiaotian to a duel.


    After the surprise, everyone was extremely excited.


    Wei Zongyuan practiced the indestructible Kingly Sword Body, possessed ten top-grade Golden Cores, and was the direct disciple of the Demon Sky Sword God. Among his peers, few could withstand a single move from him.


    A duel with Yang Xiaotian would surely be incredibly exciting.


    ¡°A duel,¡± Yang Xiaotian said calmly, looking at Wei Zongyuan with a face full of jealousy.


    ¡°Right, a duel. Yang Xiaotian, do you dare?¡± Wei Zongyuan said solemnly, ¡°Three months from now, we shall duel at the Summit of Celestial Burial!¡±


    The Summit of Celestial Burial referred to the highest mountain of Celestial Burial Academy, Wangtian Peak.


    ¡°Alright!¡± This time, Yang Xiaotian did not refuse and epted the challenge.


    ¡°Good, three months from now at the Summit of Celestial Burial, I¡¯ll be waiting for you,¡± Wei Zongyuan said coldly, then he was about to lead his followers away.


    ¡°It seems you¡¯ve forgotten something.¡± Just as Wei Zongyuan was about to leave, Yang Xiaotian spoke up.


    Wei Zongyuan paused, then understood what Yang Xiaotian meant. He hesitated for a moment, took out seven Saint-level Elixirs, and with a pained expression, he tossed them to Yang Xiaotian.


    Afterward, Wei Zongyuan left with his followers, somewhat disheveled.


    The crowd watched as Wei Zongyuan left, feeling aplex mix of emotions.


    Wei Zongyuan had originally broken the ancient curse and achieved 6,000, creating a Divine Miracle for the Buddha Source Empire. However, in front of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s 7,321, he paled inparison.<div>


    After Wei Zongyuan left, Wang Qing excitedly chatted with Yang Xiaotian about some family matters before leaving. As he left, he reiterated that Yang Xiaotian coulde to him for anything in the future.


    Once Wang Qing had left, various powerful individuals also departed one after another.


    Many powerful individuals from various families bowed to Yang Xiaotian as they left.


    The Dragon Overlord King and his threepanions offered their congrattions to Yang Xiaotian before departing together.<div>


    In the end, only Zuo Qiu and Mu Yunchun were left.


    Mu Yunchun approached Yang Xiaotian, her eyes brimming with a coquettish charm as though they could ooze water, ¡°Congrattions, Junior Brother Yang, for creating an Eternal Divine Miracle.¡±


    Zuo Qiu watched Mu Yunchun¡¯s smile that was coquettish enough to make one feel weak, he swallowed hard. Just a few days ago, it was Junior Brother Yang, and today it had changed to Junior Brother. Quite the quick change.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°No one can create an Eternal Divine Miracle.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t self-deprecation; the passage of time was long and the future, unpredictable.


    Upon hearing this, Mu Yunchun stepped forward a few more paces, almosting up to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, and said with a smile, ¡°Younger Brother Yang, are you free tonight?¡±


    Zuo Qiu¡¯s saliva gurgled suddenly, the sound abrupt, causing Mu Yunchun to cast him a reproachful nce.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Senior Sister Mu?¡± Yang Xiaotian still looked at Mu Yunchun warily.


    But Mu Yunchun chuckled behind her hand, ¡°Are you really that afraid of me, Younger Brother Yang? Are you afraid I¡¯ll eat you up? I, a girl, am not afraid, what¡¯s there for a boy like you to fear?¡±


    She then said, ¡°It¡¯s inconvenient to talk about it here. Come to my cave dwelling tonight, and I¡¯ll tell you then.¡±


    Zuo Qiu piped up, ¡°Senior Sister Mu, can Ie visit your cave dwelling tonight as well?¡±


    Mu Yunchun replied with a smile, ¡°Sure, as long as you¡¯re not afraid of having your three legs broken.¡±


    Zuo Qiu quickly crossed his legs in fear.<div>


    ¡°It¡¯s fine for Senior Sister Mu to speak here,¡± Yang Xiaotian insisted.


    Mu Yunchun hesitated, looking as though she wanted to say more.


    Seeing this, Zuo Qiu sensibly walked away.


    Once Zuo Qiu had left, Mu Yunchun said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°A few years ago, my grandfather contracted a strange cold poison. Our Mu Family has tried everything, but nothing can expel the poison¡ªonly one of the top ten Abnormal Fires can remove it.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian suddenly understood.


    ¡°I would like to ask Junior Brother Yang for help, to expel this poison from my grandfather,¡± Mu Yunchun pleaded earnestly. ¡°Of course, we won¡¯t ask you to do it for nothing. If Junior Brother Yang is willing to help, you can select any three treasures from the vault of our Mu Family.¡±


    The Mu Family, one of the mightiest families in the Eastern Deste and regarded alongside the He Family of He Zhen as the two most powerful families, could even be ranked among the top ten in the whole Buddha Source Empire.


    The Mu Family¡¯s vault must be astonishing indeed.


    To let Yang Xiaotian choose any three items was a most generous offer.


    Seeing Mu Yunchun¡¯s sincere attitude, Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment before replying, ¡°I can help to expel the strange cold poison from your grandfather¡¯s body, but it¡¯ll have to wait until after my duel with Wei Zongyuan.¡±


    After all, the Eastern Deste was not close by, and he was due to ascend Celestial Burial Mountain on the first of the next month. After the mountain, if all went as nned, he would also need to enter the Soul Beast Forest to hunt a million-year-old Soul Beast and condense a million-year-old Soul Ring.


    Thus, he wouldn¡¯t be free before his duel with Wei Zongyuan.


    Upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s agreement, Mu Yunchun could not hide her joy, her eyes brimming with delight, ¡°Okay, Junior Brother Yang, then it¡¯s a deal!¡±<div>


    She then said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The He Family has always been eyeing my Mu Family greedily. If they discovered that my grandfather contracted the strange cold poison, I fear they would strike against us. So, please keep this confidential, Junior Brother Yang.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    When leaving, Mu Yunchun yfully teased Yang Xiaotian, ¡°If you¡¯re free tonight, Younger Brother Yang, you¡¯re wee to have tea at my Peach Blossom Peak, any night will do.¡±


    And with that, she sauntered off, her round hips swaying with each step.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    After a while, he and Zuo Qiu flew away.


    ¡°Brother, Wei Zongyuan challenging you to a duel in three months¡¯ time means he is absolutely confident in his victory, so you better be cautious,¡± Zuo Qiu warned. ¡°In three months, he will likely have broken through to be a Martial Emperor, and also condensed a Soul Ring.¡±


    ¡°Many say that if Wei Zongyuan were to condense a Soul Ring, it would certainly be over ny thousand years old, maybe even ny-nine thousand years!¡±


    ¡°If he really does condense a ny-nine thousand year Soul Ring, hisbat power would be terrifying beyond belief!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian half-joked, ¡°If he condenses a ny-nine thousand year Soul Ring, then I¡¯ll condense a hundred thousand year Soul Ring.¡±


    Zuo Qiu was taken aback and thenughed, shaking his head.


    That evening, instead of going to Mu Yunchun¡¯s Peach Blossom Peak for tea, Yang Xiaotian chose an Uninhabited Peak to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    His Primordial Dragon Art was soon to awaken the True Dragon Power of ten thousand dragons, after which he would condense the True Dragon Wings.<div>

 Chapter 289: 289: The Treasure of Thousand Buddha Medicine God

    Chapter 289: The Treasure of Thousand Buddha Medicine God


    While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, attempting to achieve the True Dragon Power of ten thousand dragons, Li Yutian, Long Batian, and four others were gathered at Medicine King Peak, discussing the events of today¡¯s stele test.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent to be so terrifying!¡± Little Medicine King Li Yutian said with a heavy voice, still shaken by the scene at the stele test earlier today.


    Long Batian also had mixed feelings as he spoke, ¡°He Zhen had people spread rumors deliberately, saying that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent was six thousand. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent to be so formidable!¡±


    Shi Huang¡¯s face was somber, ¡°What do you think Yang Xiaotian¡¯s real talent is?¡±


    Today, Yang Xiaotian easily struck a blow of seven thousand three hundred twenty-one!


    This was truly a shock for the ages!


    But all of them knew that this was not Yang Xiaotian¡¯s true talent.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s real talent must be higher than seven thousand three hundred twenty-one.


    Li Yutian, Long Batian, and Phoenix Lady fell silent for a moment, none daring to speak.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s real talent must be around eight thousand,¡± said the Phoenix Lady after a while, her voice grave.<div>


    Eight thousand!


    Everyone trembled inwardly at the thought.


    After a long while.


    ¡°If Yang Xiaotian helps us open the door to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s treasure, should we still make our move?¡± Shi Huang eventually broke the silence.


    Little Medicine King Li Yutian swept his gaze over the others, ¡°The Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s treasure is incredible, with countless elixirs inside; there might even be Divine Level elixirs. Do you really want to share these elixirs with Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    Long Batian¡¯s eyes were filled with resolve, ¡°Indeed, Yang Xiaotian must die!¡± he then said, ¡°When the timees, I will make the move.¡±


    The next day.


    The sun shone brightly.


    A few people met with Yang Xiaotian at the agreed-upon location, and then the five of them left the Celestial Burial Academy, heading for the Evil Land.


    To expedite their travel, Long Batian took out the flying ship of the Long Family, and everyone boarded together.


    They hurried along their way.


    Seven dayster, they finally arrived at the Evil Land.


    Upon entering the Evil Land, they continued to pilot the flying ship toward the location of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s treasure.


    Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow of the flying ship, looking down at the Evil Land below.


    It was a sight where not a de of grass grew, and even trees were rare to see. Even if there were any, they werepletely barren, devoid of a single green leaf on their branches. The entire Evil Land was utterly lifeless, suffused with an air of death, and everywhere were mires.


    An offensive stench even pervaded the entire space.


    This stench came from various corpses.


    All over the Evil Land, one could see bones scattered about.


    Some were human bones, others were the bones of various fierce beasts.<div>


    The living conditions in the Evil Land were exceedingly harsh, but it was also a ce where bandits and viins hid.


    Therefore, descendants of noble families rarely entered the Evil Land.


    Many bandits and viins, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian and the others entering the Evil Land on a flying ship, initially had thoughts of robbery and murder. But, upon recognizing it as the Long Family¡¯s ship, they were frightened and dared not attack.


    Even the Eastern Deste¡¯s Mu Family, which could rank within the top ten of the Buddha Source Empire, was still a notch below the Long Family of Zhongzhou.<div>


    Even the Buddha Source Imperial Family treated the Long Family of Zhongzhou with caution.


    Thus, the group traveled safely and without incident until they neared the treasure of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.


    ¡°It¡¯s just ahead,¡± Little Medicine King Li Yutian pointed ahead.


    Ahead of them was an area shrouded in darkness, with a faint ck mist filling the space between heaven and earth.


    Even though it was daytime, no sunlight could be seen here, and everyone felt as if they had entered a Dark World.


    ¡°This is ckglow Ice Energy,¡± Li Yutian said to Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Continue forward for another three to four miles, and we¡¯ll reach the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s treasure.¡±


    Several people drove the flying ship forward slowly.


    After entering the world shrouded in ckglow Ice Energy, they could hardly see their fingers in front of them.


    Li Yutian and the others were well-prepared and took out two me pearls.


    These me pearls were the eyes of the Ancient Mythical Beast me Beast.


    With the me pearls, the surrounding ckglow Ice Energy dissipated quite a bit.


    However, as they approached the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s treasure, the ckglow Ice Energy grew denser, and the light from the me pearls was continuouslypressed, bing dimmer and dimmer, almostpletely dark.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian summoned the me of Stars.<div>


    Instantly, the ckglow Ice Energy within a hundred meters around them scattered.


    Long Batian, upon seeing this, eximed in admiration, ¡°Brother Yang¡¯s me of Stars is truly deserving of its ce among the top hundred Abnormal Fires.¡±


    Li Yutian, watching the me of Stars around Yang Xiaotian, had a sh of greed in his eyes.


    The top ten Abnormal Fires were hard to tame, but for the top hundred, he still had a sliver of confidence. If Yang Xiaotian were to die, then the me of Stars would be his.


    With the addition of the me of Stars, his Alchemy Level was sure to advance further, and the Elixirs he refined in the future would undoubtedly be of even purer quality.


    Reinforced by the power of the me of Stars, the flying ship traveled smoothly, and soon, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling appeared in the distance.


    However, the entire Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling was enveloped in ck ckglow Ice mist, and only the vague outline of the cave was visible.


    Arriving in front of the Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling, even the me of Stars could not dispel the ckglow Ice mist outside the cave, because it was too thick, almost solid.


    Looking at the Medicine God¡¯s cave dwellingpletely covered in ckglow Ice mist, Yang Xiaotian frowned, no wonder Long Batian and the others said they couldn¡¯t break open the gate of the cave dwelling.


    The ckglow Ice mist alone in front of the cave¡¯s gate was too thick to dissipate, not to mention the gate itself made from ckglow Ice.


    Yang Xiaotian summoned the Nine Phoenixes Golden me and stepped forward.


    Under the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, the ice mist in front of the cave¡¯s gate was gradually incinerated and cleared away.


    The group saw the gate of the cave dwelling.<div>


    The entire gate shimmered with an astonishing dark light, with ck ice energy surging out. Even the Nine Phoenixes Golden me could only burn the ck ice energy, unable to melt the gate.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to call forth the Earth me.


    Under the fiery power of the Earth me, finally, streaks of steam appeared on the gate, as the gate¡¯s ckglow Ice was continuously incinerated to produce the steam.


    Long Batian and the others, seeing this, were overjoyed, their hanging hearts finally rxing.


    Soon, half an hour passed.


    The originally one-meter-thick gate, under the burning of the Earth me, melted away until only half an inch remained, thin as a ck mirror, through which they could even see the objects inside the cave dwelling.


    Upon seeing this, Long Batian¡¯s eyes filled with murderous intent, his hands storing power quietly. As soon as the gate waspletely melted, he was ready to make his move.


    Time, slowly passed.


    Steam rose from the gate.


    Finally, the entire gate dissolved into a pool of ck water.


    Just as Long Batian was about tounch a punch at the back of Yang Xiaotian, Shi Huang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Long Batian, then shook his head.


    Long Batian looked puzzled.


    ¡°We might still need Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Earth meter. Let¡¯s get the Elixirs inside first before killing him; there¡¯s no rush,¡± Shi Huang transmitted his voice to the others.<div>


    After a brief contemtion, Long Batian and the other two nodded, agreeing to Shi Huang¡¯s suggestion.


    ¡°Brother Yang, let¡¯s now search for the Medicine God¡¯s treasure and see if there are any Elixirs, then we can divide them equally,¡± Li Yutian approached and said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.


    Thus, the group entered the cave dwelling.


    However, Li Yutian and the others did not notice that when they entered the cave dwelling, a dark shadow floated in and followed them into the cave.

 Chapter 290: 290 True Dragon Wings

    Chapter 290: True Dragon Wings


    ¡°`


    Li Yutian and Long Batian, both Martial Emperors of the fifth tier, were followed by a shadowy figure who was at least at the Saint Realm.


    However, after entering the cave, this dark figure did not rush to make a move, but quietly trailed Yang Xiaotian and the others.


    Upon entering the cave, Li Yutian and Long Batian continuously followed Yang Xiaotian, as if they were afraid he might run off.


    Li Yutian, who had extensively researched the Medicine God¡¯s cave, pointed to a pce ahead and said, ¡°That pce up ahead should be where the Thousand Buddha Medicine God concocted elixirs.¡±


    The group hastened to the pce.


    They found the pce doors closed tightly, and on the doors was a lock, forged from ckglow Ice.


    Although the ckglow Ice Energy here was not as terrifying as that at the outer gate, it was still astonishing.


    Li Yutian and Long Batian pounded relentlessly on the pce doors to no avail.


    Clearly, in order to open the pce doors, they must melt the ckglow Ice Lock.<div>


    At that moment, Long Batian could not help feeling relieved that they had not hastened to kill Yang Xiaotian earlier, as without him, they would likely have no ess to the elixirs inside.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward and once again summoned the Earth me.


    This time, the ckglow Ice Lock quickly melted away.


    Once the ckglow Ice Lock was melted, they stepped forward and pushed open the heavy doors.


    Upon opening the door, a surging sea of elixir fragrance assaulted them, startling everyone.


    But it was quickly followed by jubtion.


    Such an overwhelming elixir fragrance indicated that the elixirs inside were extremely astonishing.


    Li Yutian and Long Batian rushed into the great hall almost at once.


    Inside the great hall, there were elixir jade vials ced one after another.


    And around the elixirs, alchemy secret manuals were scattered haphazardly.


    Li Yutian and hispanions excitedly opened one jade vial after another.


    ¡°Celestial Essence Pill!¡±


    And it was at the saint level.


    ¡°God-Breaking Pill!¡±


    Also at the saint level.


    Almost every vial they opened contained saint-level elixirs.


    Li Yutian and hispanions gleamed with excitement, not bothering to ask Yang Xiaotian how these elixirs should be divided, as they scooped them all into their space rings, one after another.


    Yang Xiaotian did not speak either, watching indifferently as the four frantically gathered the elixirs.


    Li Yutian and hispanions didn¡¯t stop until they hadpletely ransacked all the elixirs and even the alchemy secret manuals.<div>


    Although Long Batian did not practice alchemy, those alchemy secret manuals were left by the legendary Thousand Buddha Medicine God; each one could fetch a staggering price at auction.


    Thus, they looted all of the alchemy secret manuals, leaving not a single one behind.


    No one asked Yang Xiaotian whether he wanted any or not.


    They utterly disregarded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s presence.<div>


    Finally, having stripped the great hall of everything, even the empty vials in the corners were snatched up.


    These empty vials were cast from the rare Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade, with the vials themselves being treasures.


    After having looted all elixirs and alchemy secret manuals, Yang Xiaotian calmly said, ¡°I remember you gentlemen agreed that if I helped you open the treasure door, we would divide everything inside among the five of us equally.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Yutian and hispanions looked at each other andughed.


    ¡°You want the elixirs?¡± Li Yutian took out one of the saint-level elixirs and said with a mocking smile, ¡°These are indeed fine items, bute on, Yang Xiaotian, do you actually think we¡¯d really share them with you?¡±


    Long Batianughed and said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, beforeing here, the four of us had already agreed to kill you and divide the fourteen saint-level elixirs you have on you.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Speak, under whose hand do you choose to die?¡±


    ¡°Considering your help in opening the treasure¡¯s gate, we can let you choose.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you only get one chance.¡±


    As they spoke, long swords appeared in their hands,


    Shi Huang and Phoenix Lady blocked Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreat.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he looked at the four of them and shook his head, ¡°Originally, given your role in leading me here to find the Thousand Buddha treasure, I could have shared the contents with you. However, since you wish to kill me, I can¡¯t me myself.¡±<div>


    Then he spoke calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll be taking everything inside!¡±


    Li Yutian burst intoughter upon hearing this, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you are strong inbat, but as a Martial Ancestor at the peak, no matter how strong you are, you can¡¯t possibly be a match for the four of us!¡±


    With those words, he released the aura of a Martial Emperor of the fifth tier, which surged towards Yang Xiaotian like enormous waves.


    ¡°We¡¯ll be taking those fourteen saint-level elixirs on you; also, the me of Star on your body, I will take that too!¡± Li Yutian¡¯s killing intent shed as he swiftly thrust his long sword.


    His sword Qi was like a rainbow.


    This was the Supreme Divine Sword Technique, the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique of the Buddha Source Empire.


    Moreover, Li Yutian had cultivated it to the level of Summit Mastery.


    With the infusion of a fifth-tier Martial Emperor¡¯s True Yuan, his long sword emitted an iparably dazzling sword glow.


    Seeing Li Yutian take action, Long Batian and the other two did not make a move, firmly believing that with Li Yutian¡¯s strength, dealing with a Martial Ancestor like Yang Xiaotian would be more than enough.


    Just as Li Yutian made his move, suddenly, a dragon¡¯s roar shook the heavens, and thousands of True Essence Dragons within Yang Xiaotian burst forth towards the sky.


    At the same time, a thickyer of dragon scales appeared on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body!


    These dragon scales coalesced to form an armor akin to that of a Divine Dragon.


    Before arriving here, his Primordial Dragon Art had finally awakened the power of the True Dragon.<div>


    His True Dragon Tyrant Body evolved once again into the Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body.


    This was the Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body.


    The Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body could generate dragon scales.


    Immediately after, the power of ten thousand dragons converged, forming two massive dragon wings behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm positioned itself in front of the opponent¡¯s long sword.


    The sword struck it, sparks flying everywhere.


    Not even the dragon scales on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm were broken.


    In the astonished gaze of the opponent, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Dragon Wings spread out behind him, reaching a hundred zhang in length, and he ferociously shed down.


    The moment the True Dragon Wings shed, the space itself emitted a piercing shriek.


    Li Yutian¡¯s face was filled with shock, and he attempted to block with his long sword.


    But immediately, he was flung away, crashing into a pir of the great hall, which then broke with a crash.


    ¡°What?!¡± Whether it was Long Batian, Shi Huang, or Phoenix Lady, they all looked at Yang Xiaotian, covered in dragon scales with dragon wings on his back, in utter shock.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian stood there like a humanoid True Dragon.<div>


    His dragon¡¯s might overwhelmed everything in all directions.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Dragon Wings suddenly unfolded, gathering the force of the wind, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Long Batian, Shi Huang, and Phoenix Lady.


    With the speed of the True Dragon Wings, Yang Xiaotian moved so fast that the three of them could not even see clearly.


    Immediately after, the True Dragon Wings transformed into two hundred zhang-long True Dragon des, sweeping across.


    The next second, Long Batian and the other two were swept away just like Li Yutian, harshly crashing into a corner of the great hall, spewing blood continuously.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian sent Long Batian and the two flying, suddenly, a shadowy figure hidden in the darkness made his move, striking with his palm.


    The palm strike, heavy like a mountain, hurtled towards Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 291: 291 The Whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire

    Chapter 291: The Whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire


    Long Batian and his threepanions watched in shock as a palm print, as massive as a mountain and capable of annihting the heavens and earth, hurtled toward Yang Xiaotian.


    All four of them hadn¡¯t expected such a turn of events.


    Just when their hearts filled with joy, thinking Yang Xiaotian would be obliterated by the palm print, suddenly, the palm print came to a halt in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Without any warning.


    Suddenly, the palm print scattered into pieces.


    The devastating power of the palm print dissipated into nothingness.


    Long Batian and hispanions looked on in astonishment, only to see a tall middle-aged man appear in front of Yang Xiaotian without their notice.


    That middle-aged man was none other than the Azure Thunder Python.


    After obliterating the palm print, the Azure Thunder Python snorted coldly and with a single hand gesture toward the void, a ck figure tumbled down from the space, crashing like a fallen rock.


    Boom!<div>


    A huge pit was blown open in the ground.


    When Long Batian and the others got a clear look at the dark figure, their expressions changed: ¡°Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor!¡±


    Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, an existence that had surpassed the Saint Realm.


    Although not yet a Divine Spirit, he was already a Demigod.


    In Zhongzhou, the name of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was notorious, almost the number one person under the Divine Spirits of the Buddha Source Empire.


    Yet, such a mighty existence was apprehended by the middle-aged man at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    What kind of strength did this man beside Yang Xiaotian possess?


    As Long Batian and the others stood there petrified, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor himself stared in terror at the Azure Thunder Python in front of Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Divine Spirit!¡±


    Divine Spirit!


    Long Batian and hispanions nearly fainted from shock.


    As the words of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor fell, he transformed into a ray of Demon Light, attempting to escape.


    The treasure of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, how could he dare to covet it anymore.


    However, just as he was about to flee through the great hall¡¯s doorway, a man shrouded in ice-blue mes appeared at the gates when they weren¡¯t looking.


    Seeing this figure blocking the exit, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor flew into a rage and threw a ferocious punch: ¡°Get out of my way!¡±


    His punch, with all his might, was more than twice as powerful as the palm force just now.


    But, when his punch enveloped in demonic mes reached the man shrouded in ice-blue mes, it was simply swatted away with a casual wave, and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was swept aside.


    The force of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor¡¯s punch rebounded in the opposite direction, shooting back at him. He dodged in fright, and just as he did, his demonically ming punch whistled past his previous spot and then crashed into a corner of the great hall.


    The corner of the hall was blown right through.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat. While he was still in a state of shock, the man enshrouded in ice-blue mes shed before him in an instant.<div>


    With just a single palm strike, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing through countless pce buildings and creating a rumbling noise all the way from the end of the mansion.


    Long Batian and the others were dumbfounded. Another Divine Spirit?


    Then, the Iceme Qilin reached out with one hand and retrieved the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor from the end of the mansion, throwing him in front of Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Young Master, how should this kid be dealt with?¡±


    Young Master!<div>


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor looked at Yang Xiaotian with fear.


    ¡°First, seal off his power and hang him up,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    The Iceme Qilin understood what Yang Xiaotian was about to do and without a word, sealed the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor¡¯s power and then hung him in midair.


    ¡°Hang them up too,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, looking toward Long Batian and the Phoenix Lady¡¯s group.


    The Azure Thunder Python did just that, suspending Long Batian, the Phoenix Lady, and theirpanions in midair.


    Before Long Batian and the others couldprehend what Yang Xiaotian intended to do, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian punched Long Batian in the stomach.


    The familiar sound was like a thunderous drum.


    And still, the Asura Force was unfailingly effective.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian threw another punch into Li Yutian¡¯s belly, and neither Phoenix Lady nor the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor were spared either.


    After one round of punching, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t speak and continued with a second round.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian was on the fourth round, Long Batian was in tears from fear, begging Yang Xiaotian to stop hitting them.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face was expressionless as he continued beating them.


    In the end, he punched Long Batian and the others until their bellies twitched and they were nearly incontinent.<div>


    Long Batian and the others were almost in tears as they took out all the Elixirs and Secret Tomes they had obtained previously.


    Yang Xiaotian took out a Control Elixir and made the five of them, including Long Batian, swallow it.


    Seeing the Control Elixir, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor hesitated, so Yang Xiaotian unleashed another strike of Asura Force.


    Just like he had done to the Barefoot Elder Demon and the head of the Assassin Tower, Tian Zhengyi, he pounded them until they swallowed the Elixirs.


    Originally, Yang Xiaotian intended to simply kill Long Batian and the others.


    However, many had seen Yang Xiaotian and the others leaving the Celestial Burial Academy. If Long Batian and the others died, the Long Family, the Shi Family, the Phoenix n, and the Buddha Source Empire Pharmacist Hall would definitely investigate, leading to endless trouble.


    It would be better to subdue them and have them gather information for him in the future.


    Atst, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and the five people, including Long Batian, swallowed the Elixirs, and only then did Yang Xiaotian let them down from midair.


    Having narrowly escaped death, they copsed on the ground, too weak to even stand.


    Once they could barely stand, Yang Xiaotian continued with them in search of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    However, after searching every nook and cranny of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave abode, they still couldn¡¯t find the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    This caused Yang Xiaotian to frown.


    He stared at Long Batian and the other three.<div>


    Frightened by his gaze, Long Batian and hispanions turned pale.


    ¡°Young Master, this has nothing to do with us,¡± Long Batian said tearfully. ¡°We only guessed that the cave might contain the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire. If it¡¯s not here, there¡¯s nothing we can do, we honestly can¡¯t do anything,¡± he said atst, his voice trembling and hisplexion ashen.


    If they were hit with another strike of Asura Force, they would definitely lose control of their bodily functions.


    Seeing how terrified Long Batian and the others were, Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    In all honesty, he hadn¡¯t really nned to do anything to the four; he just wanted to ask them about the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Yang Xiaotian searched every corner of the cave again but still could not find the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian could only leave the cave with the others and on their way back, they continued to ride on Long Batian¡¯s flying ship.


    ¡°Do you know of any other caves belonging to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God?¡± Along the way, Yang Xiaotian asked Long Batian and the others.


    Long Batian and the others shook their heads, indicating they didn¡¯t know.


    But the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke up: ¡°Young Master, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God was once a disciple at Buddha Source and had cultivated there for many years. He does have a cultivation cave in Buddha Source.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Buddha Source!¡± Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    The Buddha Source Empire mainly practiced Swordsmanship and Buddha¡¯s teachings, with nearly all of its temples gathered in Buddha Source.


    The number of temples in Buddha Source might not be in the millions, but there were probably close to a million.<div>


    ¡°Do you know where in Buddha Source the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave might be?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire might be in the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave located in Buddha Source.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head, saying he didn¡¯t know, then added, ¡°Young Master, if you want to find out, I can start an inquiry right now.¡± His Annihting Heaven Demon Sect was the number one demon sect in Zhongzhou.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    The journey was uneventful.


    A dozen dayster, the group returned to the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Yang Xiaotian had timed it just right, arriving back at Celestial Burial Mountain the day before it opened.


    As soon as he returned to the Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian heard startling news.


    The Demon Sky Sword God wasing to the Celestial Burial Academy!


    Not only was the Demon Sky Sword Goding to the Celestial Burial Academy, his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, was also visiting!

 Chapter 292: 292: Two Sword Gods Watching the Battle

    Chapter 292: Two Sword Gods Watching the Battle


    ¡°`


    ¡°What, the Demon Sky Sword God is alsoing to Celestial Burial Academy!¡± Both Long Batian and the trio of Li Yutian were shocked when they received the news.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the Green Lotus Sword Deity would alsoe to Celestial Burial Academy!¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor eximed excitedly.


    Although the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was already a Demigod, he equally worshipped the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    ¡°With both mighty Sword Godsing to Celestial Burial Academy, this is absolutely an unprecedented grand asion for us!¡± Long Batian¡¯s eyes zed with passion.


    Yang Xiaotian was also very surprised; he hadn¡¯t expected the Demon Sky Sword God and his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, to visit the Celestial Burial Academy.


    ¡°What do you think, why would the two great Sword Gods suddenly decide toe to Celestial Burial Academy?¡± After a pause, Phoenix Lady suddenly asked, ¡°Could it be that they areing for the young master?¡±


    Long Batian and the others all looked towards Yang Xiaotian.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity had left the Celestial Burial Academy over a thousand years ago, and the Demon Sky Sword God had been away even longer. Now that both Sword Gods were suddenly returning, it inevitably led to spection.


    During Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent assessment, he broke through the 7,000 mark, achieving an astonishing 7,321!<div>


    After twenty days, this news had almost spread throughout the entire Buddha Source Empire.


    The entire Buddha Source Empire was in a state of shock.


    It wouldn¡¯t be surprising if the Demon Sky Sword God and Green Lotus Sword Deity wereing for Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan is a direct disciple of the Demon Sky Sword God; could it be that the Demon Sky Sword God ising to stand up for his disciple?¡± Shi Huang asked with a mix of surprise and suspicion.


    The faces of Long Batian and the others changed drastically.


    If the Demon Sky Sword God really wasing to stand up for his disciple, who in Celestial Burial Academy could withstand him?


    It¡¯s likely that no one would be able to stop the Demon Sky Sword God!


    The two Divine Spirits apanying their young master would probably be unable to resist; the Demon Sky Sword God had once in four Divine Spirit Powerhouses with a single strike of his sword!


    And that was over two thousand years ago.


    If the Demon Sky Sword God was that terrifyingly powerful over two thousand years ago, let alone now.


    ¡°The Demon Sky Sword God is a legendary Sword God; it¡¯s impossible that he would take action against the young master over his disciple¡¯s matters,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said, shaking his head.


    However, though he said this, nobody could truly know the thoughts of the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Demon Sky Sword God is a person who could be both righteous and evil, and he acts entirely ording to his own preferences.


    Nevertheless, the concerns of Long Batian and the others were unnecessary. Soon, word spread from the Celestial Burial Academy that the Demon Sky Sword God and Green Lotus Sword Deity wereing for the uing duel between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan, three months from now.


    The two wereing to spectate.


    ¡°Tsk, the duel between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan being watched by two great Sword Gods, what an honor!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that not only are the two great Sword Godsing to watch, but mighty figures from the Peacock n will also be attending!¡±


    ¡°What, even powerhouses from the Peacock n wille?!¡±


    A single stone caused a thousand ripples.<div>


    The Peacock n is one of the strongest ns in the Buddha Source Empire.


    They have an unshakeable supreme status within the Buddha Source Empire.


    The Peacock n wouldn¡¯t leave Peacock Mountain for trivial matters.


    Now that they wereing to witness the duel, it was bound to cause a stir.<div>


    ¡°It¡¯s not just the Peacock n; I¡¯ve heard that high-level experts from the Buddha Source Imperial Family will alsoe, and even the Empire itself will send its high-level experts!¡±


    One shocking piece of news after another sent the millions of students of Celestial Burial Academy into a frenzy.


    The simultaneous appearance of the Demon Sky Sword God, Green Lotus Sword Deity, Peacock n, Buddha Source Imperial Family, and other high-level experts from the Empire at Celestial Burial Academy was an astonishing event.


    Upon hearing the news, Yang Xiaotian was also surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected his duel with Wei Zongyuan to attract so many high-level experts to watch.


    But on second thought, it seemed normal.


    Both Wei Zongyuan and he had broken the 6,000 mark in their talents, both being rare miracles of the ages. Their battle was naturally under the close watch of countless powerhouses.


    The high-level experts from all around were probably alsoing to see his true talent.


    ¡°`


    They were curious about what kind of Martial Soul he had.


    They wanted to see what kind of Golden Core he had condensed.


    They even wanted to see his Sword Dao Talent.


    ¡°Want to see my Martial Soul and Golden Core, huh?¡± Yang Xiaotian mused to himself.


    It had been many years since he hadst revealed his Martial Soul to anyone.<div>


    Just as the matters of the Demon Sky Sword God and the Green Lotus Sword Deity were stirring up quite a buzz, suddenly, someone announced, ¡°Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Unmoved Sword Body has made a breakthrough and reached the tenth level!¡±


    Upon the news spreading, many powerful beings were astonished.


    The first nine levels of the King Unmoved Sword Body were the most difficult to cultivate.


    But once a breakthrough to the tenth level was made, the power would increase exponentially.


    By then, wherever the sword intent and Sword Qi reached, the speed would be unimaginable for most people.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Unmoved Sword Body would break through to the tenth level!¡± Wang Qing, the dean of Celestial Burial Academy, was also surprised upon hearing the news.


    ¡°I wonder who will win between Wei Zongyuan and Yang Xiaotian?¡± An academy elder was quite curious about this.


    Wang Qing couldn¡¯t answer that question.


    If it had been before, he would have thought Yang Xiaotian would surely win, but now that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Unmoved Sword Body had broken through to the tenth level, it was difficult to say.


    As the strongest sword body of the Peacock n, the King Unmoved Sword Body¡¯s power once breaking through the tenth level would be absolutely astonishing, and as the dean of Celestial Burial Academy, he was certainly aware of its formidability.


    Hearing that Wei Zongyuan had cultivated the King Unmoved Sword Body to the tenth level didn¡¯t change Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression in the slightest.


    The night was long.


    The next day, sunlight shone upon thend.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian arrived at Celestial Burial Mountain with Long Batian and four others.


    In order not to cause a stir, Yang Xiaotian had the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor wear a ghost-faced mask.


    When they arrived at Celestial Burial Mountain, Yang Xiaotian ran into Wei Zongyuan.


    Wei Zongyuan was apanied by Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and others, clearly also there to ascend Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian, Wei Zongyuan and his group naturally showed unpleasant faces.


    Especially Chen Sha, who was shocked and resentful towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Liang Lin spoke up, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, my young master¡¯s King Unmoved Sword Body has reached the tenth level. In the duel two months from now, you are destined to lose!¡±


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded, unmoved.


    Wei Zongyuan looked down at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I hope you can withstand my three swords at that time.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian smiled and replied, ¡°I hope you can withstand my one punch then.¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian mentioned the punch, Long Batian, Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, and the others trembled in their bellies.


    Now, whenever Yang Xiaotian talked about punching, they would think of the Asura Force, recalling that utterly inhumane scene.


    Seeing the reaction of Long Batian and the others, Wei Zongyuan found it strange, but he didn¡¯t give it much thought.<div>


    After a while, Celestial Burial Mountain opened, and Yang Xiaotian, Long Batian, the Phoenix Lady, and the others began their ascent while the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor waited at the foot of the mountain for Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon entering Celestial Burial Mountain, Yang Xiaotian immediately felt an astonishing Aura of Sword Spirit.


    Yang Xiaotian did not activate the Primordial Dragon Art, allowing the Aura of Sword Spirit to hammer his body incessantly, nking as they struck. Then, he separated from Long Batian and the other four to make his way alone towards the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain.


    In addition to the Aura of Sword Spirit, Celestial Burial Mountain was also shrouded in dense Spiritual Energy that, year after year, remained untransformed, resembling white misty water.


    Therefore, within Celestial Burial Mountain, one could only see a hundred meters ahead.


    After entering Celestial Burial Mountain, Wei Zongyuan also parted ways with Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and others, heading towards the summit just like Yang Xiaotian.


    The closer to the summit, the stronger the Aura of Sword Spirit became. The Aura of Sword Spirit felt like countless sharp swords striking Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body. At first, Yang Xiaotian was unaffected, but as the Aura of Sword Spirit grew stronger, his body began to show sword marks.

 Chapter 293: 293 Entering the Azure God Cave Mansion

    Chapter 293: Entering the Azure God Cave Mansion


    And the sword marks became deeper and deeper.


    Blood began to seep out.


    Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to circte the Primordial Dragon Art, covering his body with dragon scales.


    With the dragon scales covering him, the Aura of Sword Spirit striking his body only sparked bursts of firelight.


    But when Yang Xiaotian reached the mid-mountain, even the Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body couldn¡¯t resist the Aura of Sword Spirit. The dragon scales were shattered one by one, and blood seeped out again.


    Yang Xiaotian could only rely on Master Ding to protect him as he continued toward the summit.


    Due to the proximity of the Innate Sword Formation near the mountaintop, the Aura of Sword Spirit became even denser, like a turbulent Sword Sea, bombarding Yang Xiaotian incessantly.


    If it were the Saint Realm, one would likely find it difficult to advance an inch.


    However, no matter how fierce and dense the Aura of Sword Spirit was, it could never shake Master Ding¡¯s Golden Light Shield.


    Countless Auras of Sword Spirit bombarded the Golden Light Shield like a rain of arrows, a spectacle that shook the soul.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian pressed on rapidly, enduring the assault of the myriad Auras of Sword Spirit.


    Since Celestial Burial Mountain would only open for one day, he needed to ascend to the summit quickly, without wasting time.


    Under the invincible defense of Master Ding¡¯s Golden Light Shield, half an hourter, Yang Xiaotian finally reached the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Since no one hade to the summit for many years, the Spiritual Energy there was extremely dense. Taking a deep breath, it felt almost like his lungs were going to burst.


    If one were to cultivate at this summit for a year and a half, the benefits would be unimaginable.


    Although the Aura of Sword Spirit of Celestial Burial Mountain was astounding, it hadn¡¯t damaged a single nt or tree. Therefore, the vegetation was lush at the summit, with Spirit Medicines and Spirit Flowers blooming splendidly, the scenery utterly enchanting.


    Yang Xiaotian walked through the lush trees and arrived in front of the Innate Sword Formation.


    Up ahead, Sword Qi filled the air.


    Sword Qi was everywhere, above and below.


    At a nce, the sea of Sword Qi seemed endless.


    Looking at the dense Sword Qi of the Sword Formation before him, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s scalp tingled.


    He could tell that this Innate Sword Formation was even stronger than the one at ck Snow Mountain back in the day.


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and stepped into the Innate Sword Formation.


    Upon entering the Innate Sword Formation, endless Sword Qi roared towards Yang Xiaotian like a ferocious lion.


    Thud, thud, thud!


    Billions of Sword Qi bombarded the Golden Light Shield, letting out a thunderous boom.


    The sts were so loud that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ears buzzed incessantly.


    Even with the protection of Master Ding¡¯s Golden Light Shield, the sheer force of the billions of Sword Qi made it extremely difficult for Yang Xiaotian to move.


    Yang Xiaotian took steps towards the center of the Innate Sword Formation.<div>


    After a while, he could no longer see the way back; all around him was nothing but a sky full of Sword Qi.


    Sword Qi everywhere.


    For a moment, Yang Xiaotian had an epiphany.


    The eight, Nine-Colored Sword Hearts in his chest seemed to be resonating with the omnipresent Sword Qi, starting to emanate dazzling sword light.<div>


    After an unknown amount of time,


    Yang Xiaotian finally met the first Innate Sword Spirit.


    Immediately, he used the Controlling Sword Technique to bind the Innate Sword Spirit, then stored it inside the Medicine Cauldron.


    Since Celestial Burial Mountain was open for only one day, there was no time to assimte the Innate Sword Spirits. Thus, he could only store them in the Medicine Cauldron forter assimtion.


    In this manner, Yang Xiaotian continued advancing through the Innate Sword Formation.


    Whenever he encountered an Innate Sword Spirit, he used the Controlling Sword Technique to collect them.


    After Yang Xiaotian had subdued several Innate Sword Spirits, finally, he saw the legendary Azure God Cave Mansion.


    The divine presence of the Azure God Cave Mansion was pervasive, standing in the depths of the Innate Sword Formation, surrounded by a sky full of Sword Qi.


    The cave mansion was immensely tall.


    Above the great doors, the words ¡°Azure God¡± were inscribed in ancient script.


    Gazing at the Azure God Cave Mansion before him, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart throbbed with excitement.


    This was the very cave mansion where the Lord of the Azure God Continent had cultivated in bygone years.


    Even after a million years, the majesty of the Lord of Azure God still permeated and enveloped the entire continent.<div>


    Taking a moment to collect himself, Yang Xiaotian walked to the closed doors and summoned the power of the eighteen Sword Steles.


    The eighteen Sword Steles converged behind him.


    Under the onught of the Sword Steles¡¯ power, the tightly shut doors trembled with light and began to slowly open.


    Seeing the power of the Sword Steles open the doors of the Azure God Cave Mansion, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart leaped with joy.


    The Azure God once said that the power of the eighteen Sword Steles was the key to unlocking the secret treasure of the Heart of Azure God.


    Without a doubt, the Heart of Azure God was inside!


    Once the doors of the Azure God Cave Mansion were fully open, Yang Xiaotian stepped inside.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian entered the Azure God Cave Mansion, somewhere in Celestial Burial Mountain, suddenly, colorful beams of Sword Qi soared into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds.


    The students of Celestial Burial Mountain were astonished.


    Before long, news spread: ¡°Wei Zongyuan has condensed the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart!¡±


    Celestial Burial Academy was shaken.


    The Golden Buddha Sword Heart was also among the strongest Sword Hearts.


    Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and others, upon learning that Wei Zongyuan had condensed the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart, were thrilled beyond measure, and they howled to the heavens: ¡°The young master is invincible!¡±<div>


    For someone of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s age to condense the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart was absolutely unprecedented in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Wang Qing, upon hearing that Wei Zongyuan had condensed the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart, was also greatly shocked. After a long while, he spoke: ¡°In the decisive battle two months from now, Yang Xiaotian is bound to lose!¡±


    With Wei Zongyuan¡¯s fourteenth-level Martial Soul, ten supreme-grade Golden Cores, the imperturbable Bright King Sword Body cultivated to the tenthyer, and seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, who else could be his opponent within the same realm?


    While the outside world was aboil with Wei Zongyuan¡¯s condensation of the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart, Yang Xiaotian had arrived at the front hall of the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    In the front hall of the Azure God Cave Mansion, everything was bathed in golden divine radiance. As Yang Xiaotian entered, the golden divine light coalesced into a hundred yards tall golden deity.


    The golden deity before him was also a divine consciousness left by the Azure God in the past.


    ¡°Child, you have finally arrived,¡± the divine consciousness of the Azure God said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.


    ¡°Lord Azure God,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded respectfully.


    The Azure God said with a smile, ¡°This Azure God Cave Mansion consists of five pces. The first pce can only be opened with the power of eighteen Sword Steles.¡±


    ¡°Within the first pce is the Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt overjoyed.


    That meant the Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was right there in the first front hall where he now stood.


    ¡°The second pce requires a Divine Elixir and a million-year-old Soul Ring to open, containing the Azure God Sword and the Azure God Sword Technique.¡±<div>


    ¡°The third pce can only be opened with the fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts and contains the Azure God Suit, including the Hand of Azure God.¡±


    ¡°The fourth pce requires fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates to open, within it lies the Elixir of Azure God.¡±


    ¡°The fifth pce can only be opened with fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits, and therein resides the Heart of Azure God.¡±


    As the divine consciousness of the Azure God spoke these words, it began to dissipate, just as it had all those years ago.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, dumbfounded.


    He finally understood what the five conditions mentioned by the Azure God on the Sword Path were.


    Divine Elixirs, million-year-old Soul Rings, fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts, fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates, and fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits!


    Only by fulfilling these five conditions could he truly integrate the Heart of Azure God.


    Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words.


    These conditions, each one was more insurmountable than thest.


    Each one more ruthless than thest!

 Chapter 294: 294 Soul Beast Forest

    Chapter 294: Soul Beast Forest


    ¡°`


    Gathering the fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates was much more difficult than condensing the fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts.


    Indeed, to gather the fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates was ten times more difficult than to condense the fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts.


    And as for gathering the fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits, it was even harder¡ªhundreds of times more challenging!


    After a martial artist¡¯s cultivation reached the Peak of the Emperor Realm, they could begin condensing a Heavenly Fate.


    However, not all who reached the Peak of the Emperor Realm could condense a Heavenly Fate; the prerequisites were excruciating¡ªjust as not all martial artists could sessfully condense a Sword Heart.


    Those who could condense Heavenly Fates after reaching the Peak of the Emperor Realm were extremely rare.


    It was even rarer to find one who could gather ten Heavenly Fates.


    As for the fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates, Yang Xiaotian had never heard of such a feat.


    When a martial artist¡¯s cultivation reached the Saint Realm Peak, they could start to condense Holy Fruits.<div>


    However, the conditions for condensing Holy Fruits were even harder than for Heavenly Fates, and amongst the many at the Saint Realm Peak that Yang Xiaotian had encountered, he had yet to meet anyone who could condense a Holy Fruit.


    Not to mention fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits.


    Primordial refers to the beginning of Heaven and Earth¡¯s vital energies, to the very origin of the Heavenly Dao.


    The Primordial Holy Fruit is also the mightiest among Holy Fruits.


    Not a single person in the Martial Soul World throughout its countless years has been able to condense one sessfully.


    ¡°The Junior of Azure God wants you to condense Divine Grade golden treasures, gather soul rings of a million years, the fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts, the fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates, and the fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits toy the most profound foundation between Heaven and Earth,¡± said Master Ding, his words heavy with significance: ¡°Should you aplish this, your ascension to godhood will allow you to traverse even further.¡±


    ¡°Later on, you¡¯ll be thankful to the Junior of Azure God.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, you currently cannot assimte the power of the Heart of Azure God; only when you reach the Saint Realm Peak would it be possible, otherwise, even one billionth of the Heart of Azure God¡¯s power could make you burst a million times over.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian fell silent.


    In truth, he understood these principles all too well.


    Yet, knowing that the Heart of Azure God was right before his eyes, yet unattainable for fusion, left him somewhat unable to ept the situation.


    After a moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s state of mind calmed down.


    From now on, he would have to be a hundred times more diligent.


    There was no other way but to work hard.


    He scanned the great hall, now he needed to search for the Nine-Tier Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian found a pot of Nine-Tier Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    However, this golden pot looked somewhat odd no matter how one regarded it.


    It resembled a chamber pot.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression was strange¡ªhe wondered if this could be the chamber pot once used by the elder Azure God himself.<div>


    Because of that suspicion, he gave it a sniff.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to smell it; this is an ancient Divine Artifact,¡± Master Ding remarked.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished: ¡°An ancient Divine Artifact?!¡±


    He took another look at the unremarkable pot in his hand.<div>


    ¡°However, it¡¯s a damaged artifact,¡± Master Ding continued: ¡°The Innate Godly Formation inside is severely impaired; now it can only be used as a superior Space Divine Artifact.¡±


    In other words, now it could only be used to hold things.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.


    ¡°Is there any way to repair this ancient Divine Artifact?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    Master Ding shook his head: ¡°Repairing an Innate Godly Formation is harder than reaching the heavens; it would require dozens of innate divine materials. On the Azure God Continent, you might as well not even think about it.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He had only asked on a whim.


    He knew well enough the tremendous difficulty of repairing an Innate Godly Formation.


    On the Azure God Continent, finding dozens of innate divine materials was an impossible task.


    When he opened the golden pot, lightning energy surged and various phenomena evolved, showing shadows of ancient thunder gods and manifestations of myriad lightning divine beasts.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian roughly estimated the amount of Nine-Colored Sword Qi in the pot, there should be more than two hundred mouthsful.


    A million-year Soul Beast requires one hundred mouthsful.<div>


    That should be enough for Master Ding to deal with two million-year Soul Beasts, right?


    With his Twin Supreme King Martial Soul, he needed to hunt two million-year Soul Beasts.


    Yang Xiaotian asked the Medicine Cauldron.


    ¡°About right,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian searched the great hall again and found that apart from a pot of Tribtion Thunder Water, there was nothing else, so he had to exit from the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    He would return after he had condensed the million-year Soul Rings, then open the second chamber and obtain the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique from within.


    The Azure God Sword Technique was reputed to be the number one swordsmanship on the Azure God Continent, its power was still unknown.


    When Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Azure God Cave Mansion, it hadn¡¯t even been a day.


    Yang Xiaotian began cultivating at the peak of Celestial Burial Mountain.


    One dayter, Celestial Burial Mountain closed.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others were all transported out of the mountain.


    As Yang Xiaotian was about to leave with Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Long Batian, and a few others aftering out of Celestial Burial Mountain, he ran into Wei Zongyuan and his party.


    Originally, Yang Xiaotian did not want to bother with Wei Zongyuan and others, nning to go back and refine the Innate Sword Spirit and condense the ninth Sword Heart, but Liang Lin, one of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s subordinates, stopped him.<div>


    Liang Lin, with an air of arrogance, said, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you kneel down and admit defeat now, our young master might consider showing mercy to you in the battle two months from now.¡±


    ¡°Scram!¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    With a casual flick from Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Liang Lin screamed miserably as he was shot backward, crashing into who knows how manyrge trees before disappearing from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sight.


    Seeing how Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor easily flung Liang Lin out of sight with just a flick of his hand, Wei Zongyuan and the others all took a sharp intake of breath.


    Chen Sha and others, who had been quite arrogant just moments before, were now pale and bloodless.


    ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, looking at Wei Zongyuan, Chen Sha, and the others blocking his way.


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s face changed color, and in the end, he stepped aside to make way.


    Yang Xiaotian walked past Wei Zongyuan.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure, Wei Zongyuan felt utterly humiliated, his facial expression turned extremely ugly.


    ¡°This Yang Xiaotian is too arrogant!¡± Chen Sha said both angrily and hatefully, ¡°Who does he think he is!¡±


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s eyes also brimmed with killing intent, ¡°In the battle two months from now, I will make him kneel and lick my toes!¡± Then he said, ¡°Tomorrow, we will set off for the Soul Beast Forest!¡±


    After two months, when he returned, he would trample Yang Xiaotian viciously under his feet!


    He would make the entire Buddha Source Empire take notice of him.<div>


    After leaving, Yang Xiaotian found an Uninhabited Peak to start refining the seven Innate Sword Spirits he obtained in Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Half a monthter.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest was aglow as one after another, the Nine-Colored Sword Hearts surged with light; behind the eighth Sword Heart, the ninth Sword Heart flickered in and out, ready to consolidate but ultimately failing to form sessfully.


    At night, the Sword Qi around Yang Xiaotian dissipated, and he stopped.


    He had refined all seven Innate Sword Spirits, but he still couldn¡¯t condense the ninth Nine-Colored Sword Heart.


    He had touched the threshold of the ninth Sword Heart, but he just couldn¡¯t cross it.


    Every time he tried to condense the ninth Sword Heart, he was blocked by an invisible force.


    Consolidating the ninth Sword Heart turned out to be more difficult than he had imagined.


    The ninth one was like this, not to mention the tenth and the eleventh ones.


    However, now that he had touched the threshold, he would surely be able to sessfully condense it next time.


    That night, Yang Xiaotian left Celestial Burial Academy and headed for the Soul Beast Forest.


    This time, he didn¡¯t bring anyone, leaving Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Long Batian, and a few others to wait for his return to the academy.


    Not far from Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian directly rode the Azure Thunder Python, speeding towards the Soul Beast Forest at full force.

 Chapter 295: 295 Hell Abyss

    Chapter 295: Hell Abyss


    On the road, Yang Xiaotian was not idle; he sat cross-legged on the mountain-like head of the Azure Thunder Python to cultivate.


    To condense a Soul Ring, one must break through to Martial Emperor.


    Before entering the Soul Beast Forest, he needed to break through to Martial Emperor.


    However, Yang Xiaotian had already reached the peak of Martial Ancestor with tenyers; breaking through to Martial Emperor was not difficult. Thus, before arriving at the Soul Beast Forest, he smoothly broke through to the Emperor Realm.


    After entering the Soul Beast Forest, Yang Xiaotian continued flying to the very end of the Soul Beast Forest with the Azure Thunder Python and Iceme Qilin.


    ording to Old Bing and Old Meng, to find a million-year Soul Beast, there was only one ce in the Soul Beast Forest where it was possible¡ªthe very end of the Soul Beast Forest, the Hell Abyss!


    Speaking of the Hell Abyss, both the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin could hardly conceal the fear in their hearts.


    The Hell Abyss was the most terrifying ce on the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Is the Hell Abyss really that terrifying?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, noticing the frightened expressions of the Azure Thunder Python and Iceme Qilin.


    Both the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin solemnly nodded with extremely grave faces.<div>


    ¡°Thousands of years ago, seventeen Divine Spirits joined hands to enter the Hell Abyss. In the end, only one managed to escape,¡± said the Iceme Qilin, its voice bing somewhat unnatural.


    ¡°The one who escaped was the Master of Buddha Source!¡±


    Master of Buddha Source!


    Yang Xiaotian gasped in surprise.


    The Master of Buddha Source was the current number one expert in the Buddha Source Empire.


    And also the number one expert among the surrounding empires.


    ¡°The Master of Buddha Source was the weakest among those seventeen Divine Spirits,¡± added the Iceme Qilin. ¡°He escaped because he possessed a relic passed down from the ancient Buddha¡ªthe Kasaya of the Tathagata!¡±


    ¡°Relying on the ancient Buddha treasure, the Kasaya of the Tathagata, he managed to flee. Even so, he almost died in the Hell Abyss. Thousands of years have passed, and who knows if his injuries have healed by now.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was deeply shaken.


    The Master of Buddha Source was the current top expert in the Buddha Source Empire and the weakest of the seventeen who entered the Hell Abyss. One could imagine how strong the others were back then.


    Even so, all the others died in the Hell Abyss.


    ¡°When the Master of Buddha Source escaped back, he said that within the Hell Abyss, there existed a tremendously terrifying being. How many years that being had lived, no one knew,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said with a parched tongue. ¡°He said that at the bottom of the Hell Abyss, everything was in darkness, and he was enveloped by the power of darkness, making it impossible to see his true form.¡±


    ¡°All he knew was that the being was bigger than the Ancient Divine Mountain, with blood-red eyes miles wide. With a single swipe of his w, he killed half of them!¡±


    With a single swipe, seven or eight powerful Divine Spirits were killed!


    ¡°He proimed himself the Abyssal Master,¡± the Azure Thunder Python continued. ¡°Whether this Abyssal Master has lived for a million years or not is unknown.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart could not calm down for a long time.


    The Abyssal Master, huh?


    Hopefully, this Abyssal Master is indeed a million years old.


    The journey was uneventful.<div>


    One man and two beasts flew at full speed towards the Hell Abyss.


    Since all martial artists on the Azure God Continent who broke through to Martial Emperor needed to condense a Soul Ring, there were many of them hunting Soul Beasts in the forest.


    Fighting could be seen almost everywhere.


    However, as Yang Xiaotian continued deeper into the Soul Beast Forest, the encounters with fights gradually decreased.<div>


    After one day, those he encountered were almost all tens of thousands of years old Soul Beasts.


    Three dayster.


    The strength of these Soul Beasts became stronger and stronger.


    Initially, sensing the powerful presences of the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin from afar, those Soul Beasts did not dare to approach. But upon venturing deeper into the Soul Beast Forest, even the powerful auras of the two Beast Gods could not suppress these Soul Beasts.


    The attacks of these Soul Beasts became more and more frequent.


    ¡°`


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions¡¯ speed was greatly affected.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian had Old Bing and Old Meng restrain their auras as much as possible.


    While Yang Xiaotian rushed to the Hell Abyss, Wei Zongyuan was also hunting Soul Beasts deep within the Soul Beast Forest.


    To ensure that Wei Zongyuan could hunt a satisfactory Soul Beast, his master, the Demon Sky Sword God, personally apanied him into the Soul Beast Forest.


    Not only the Demon Sky Sword God, but even the Peacock n¡¯s n Leader, Lan Tianchang, also apanied Wei Zongyuan into the Soul Beast Forest to hunt Soul Beasts.


    Wei Zongyuan had entered the Soul Beast Forest half a month earlier than Yang Xiaotian, but, during this half month, he had not found a Soul Beast that satisfied him.


    At night, the three of them sat around a campfire.<div>


    ¡°Master, I heard that there is an incredibly terrifying existence in the Hell Abyss,¡± Wei Zongyuan suddenly said.


    As soon as Wei Zongyuan mentioned the Hell Abyss, even the faces of Demon Sky Sword God and Lan Tianchang drastically changed.


    ¡°That existence, you should not even think about it.¡± After pausing for a while, the Demon Sky Sword God shook his head and said, ¡°In the Azure God Continent, no one can kill that existence.¡±


    Wei Zongyuan asked curiously, ¡°Is that existence really that terrifying?¡±


    Lan Tianchang gave a wry smile and said, ¡°Terrifying? If that being were toe out of the Hell Abyss, the entire Azure God Continent would be hell, and even if the Buddha Mother returned, she would not be able to suppress that existence.¡±


    ¡°Unless the Lord of Azure God makes a move,¡± the Demon Sky Sword God said with aplicated expression. ¡°Even so, even if that being could be killed, no one¡¯s Martial Soul would be able to absorb its Beast Soul.¡±


    ¡°How terrifying that Beast Soul must be, even a Supreme Martial Spirit would be directly burst!¡±


    Another seven days passed.


    Yang Xiaotian, along with the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Kylin, had already reached the deepest parts of the Soul Beast Forest.


    Now, there was only ten thousand miles to the Hell Abyss.


    However, the strength of the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Kylin was limited, and they could not proceed further, only being able to escort Yang Xiaotian to this point.


    Yang Xiaotian asked the two beasts to wait for him there, and then continued to fly towards the Hell Abyss under the protection of the Medicine Cauldron.


    Suddenly, an immense Poison Scorpion attacked Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    This Poison Scorpion was hundreds of zhang tall!


    Just its legs were hundreds of zhang long, and the legs were covered with densely packed poisonous spikes; the Scorpion¡¯s body had countless ck eyes.


    Seeing this Poison Scorpion and feeling its overwhelmingly powerful Divine Spirit aura, Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    Thump!


    The Poison Scorpion¡¯s leg mmed into the Golden Light Shield.


    But this Divine Spirit Realm Poison Scorpion was directly sent flying and tumbling away by the force of the Golden Light Shield.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian finally rxed a bit in his heart.


    As he neared the Hell Abyss, Yang Xiaotian encountered attacks from several Divine Spirit Realm Soul Beasts.


    Moreover, all these Soul Beasts were from dark and poison systems.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian saw the Hell Abyss from afar.


    Billowing ck fog continuously surged from the Hell Abyss, making it look like an actual underworld from a distance.


    Without even approaching the Hell Abyss, an overwhelming, terrifying aura enveloping heaven and earth made it hard for Yang Xiaotian to breathe.


    Even with Master Ding¡¯s Golden Light Shield for protection, Yang Xiaotian still felt so pressured that he could not breathe.<div>


    In this ce, no Soul Beasts could be seen, not even a Divine Spirit Realm Soul Beast dared to approach the Hell Abyss.


    Dead silence.


    So quiet it unnerved him.


    Sweating profusely with nerves, Yang Xiaotian finally reached the edge of the Hell Abyss. Looking down, the Hell Abyss seemed like a Hell Abyss Beast with its massive jaws open wide, waiting for him to enter.

 Chapter 296: 296: Finally Meeting the Abyssal Master

    Chapter 296: Finally Meeting the Abyssal Master


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and pushed the Primordial Dragon Art to its limit, boosting his Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body defense to the fullest. His body was covered in dragon scales, and behind him, the hundred-yard-long True Dragon Wings unfurled as he leaped down.


    Although he knew that his Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body was virtually useless in the eyes of an existence like the Abyssal Master, he figured having an extrayer of defense was always good.


    Now that Yang Xiaotian had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, he could fly without relying on the Supreme Divine Power, Skywalking Thousand Swords.


    The moment he stepped into the Hell Abyss, boundless ckglow Cold Energy surged towards him like a tsunami.


    It struck the Golden Light Shield, resounding with continuous thunderous impacts.


    Had it not been for the Golden Light Shield, that hit just now would have probably sent Yang Xiaotian flying back up.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully continued to descend.


    Darkness rolled and churned.


    The cold was piercing.


    The cold of the abyss was no less intense than the ckglow Cold Energy in the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s dwelling.<div>


    And with the cold seeping into every crevice, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to summon the Earth me.


    With the summoning of the Earth me, the light brightened considerably around him.


    However, even the number one Abnormal Fire, Earth me, could only illuminate a hundred meters around him.


    Beyond a hundred meters, darkness still prevailed.


    The deeper he fell into the abyss, the more silent it became, so quiet that one couldn¡¯t hear any sound at all¡ªnot even the wind, which seemed to disappear in this ce.


    Outside the abyss, the roars of Soul Beasts were incessant, but upon entering the abyss, even the roars of Soul Beasts vanished.


    Here, it seemed that an invisible force was blocking all sounds from the outside world.


    The further down he went, the more tense Yang Xiaotian became.


    Time stretched on.


    After sinking for roughly ten minutes, he still couldn¡¯t see the bottom.


    With no contact with the sky above or the ground below, Yang Xiaotian felt like he waspletely engulfed in an endless dark morass.


    Suddenly, a resonant sound emerged from the bottom of the abyss.


    It was like tens of thousands of divine thunders exploding, and the entire abyss quaked endlessly.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind buzzed from the st, and he was greatly shocked¡ªwhat was that sound?


    Could it be?


    ¡°Indeed, that is its snoring sound,¡± came Medicine Cauldron¡¯s voice.


    The snoring of the Abyssal Master!


    One snore was like tens of thousands of divine thunders detonating.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hair stood on end.<div>


    That was just too formidable.


    Fortunately, after one snore, there was no second snore.


    The abyss once again returned to a deathly silence.


    Yang Xiaotian continued downward.<div>


    After an indeterminate amount of time, atst, he saw the ground.


    When his feet touched the ground, it was dry and firm.


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t walked far before he spotted a pile of bones in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the bones were emanating an astonishing divinity.


    ¡°These are the remains of a Divine Spirit!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart leapt.


    This was his first time seeing the bones of a Divine Spirit Powerhouse.


    Divine Spirit Powerhouses were supremely exalted in the Azure God Continent, and now, seeing the remains of one up close was immensely shocking.


    Beside the Divine Spirit¡¯s remains, he found a divine grade longsword.


    But the divine grade longsword was broken.


    Broken into three pieces, scattered beside the remains.


    The Divine Artifact was indestructible; even a Divine Spirit Powerhouse couldn¡¯t possibly shatter it with crazy bombardments, yet now, this Divine Artifact longswordy broken here.


    Not far from the longsword, Yang Xiaotian also discovered a Space Ring.


    Seeing this Space Ring, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart began to race.


    Without a doubt, this was the Space Ring of that Divine Spirit Powerhouse.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian picked up the Space Ring and opened it to look inside, only to see it filled with various Spirit Stones, nearly all of them of high quality. Besides the high-quality Spirit Stones, there were also many Alchemy Materials.


    Besides these, there were also numerous Secret Tomes and Cultivation Techniques.


    Yang Xiaotian took both the Space Ring and the broken sword and then began to search for the Abyssal Master.


    However, after half a day, Yang Xiaotian had searched every nook and cranny at the bottom of the Abyss, but he still hadn¡¯t found any trace of the Abyssal Master.


    Instead, he found fifteen Divine Spirit skeletons.


    Clearly, these Divine Spirits had been the Divine Spirit Powerhouses who had entered with the Master of Buddha Source.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was puzzling over where the Abyssal Master could be hiding, suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.


    No, not just beneath his feet¡ª the entire ground of the Abyss was trembling.


    It was as if some super-terrifying creature was about to emerge from the depths of the earth.


    The ground began to crack at an rming rate.


    It wasn¡¯t just one area that was cracking, but every corner of the ground.


    Suddenly, the ground beneath Yang Xiaotian began to bulge upwards!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face changed, and he quickly unfolded his True Dragon Wings to fly upwards.<div>


    As Yang Xiaotian continued to rise, the ground kept bulging upwards, as though no matter how high he flew, the ground would bulge just as high!


    As the ground kept rising, an unimaginably colossal ck creature appeared in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    This ck creature, enveloped in rolling dark energy, had two eyes like vast blood-redkes.


    As it stood up, it blotted out the sky, as if it were about to burst the entirety of the Hell Abyss.


    The Hell Abyss was vast, and Yang Xiaotian knew this well; he flew for half a day just to cross it once, but now, as this colossal ck creature stood up, the Hell Abyss seemed incredibly narrow.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the Abyssal Master in front of him, which was spewing endless ck energy, almost filling the entire Hell Abyss, and was horrified.


    Motherfucker!


    It¡¯s so huge!


    No wonder he couldn¡¯t find the Abyssal Master earlier.


    The entire Hell Abyss turned out to be the Abyssal Master.


    The ground he had been walking on was the back of the Abyssal Master, or perhaps even its buttocks.


    Thinking that he might have been stepping on its rear, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet began to tingle.


    Finally, the Abyssal Master fully stood up.<div>


    Looking at the Abyssal Master, Yang Xiaotian thought of the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin.


    Old Bing and Old Meng were big enough, butpared to this Abyssal Master, they were like little chicks.


    The Abyssal Master¡¯s two blood-red eyes stared at Yang Xiaotian, giving a creepy feeling as it spoke, ¡°Little guy, are you looking for me?¡±


    Earlier, its snoring was like millions of divine thunders exploding; now, as it spoke, it wasn¡¯t just millions of divine thunders; the entire Abyss resonated, the echo lingering on and on.


    ¡°Indeed, I am looking for you!¡± Yang Xiaotian said, trying to remain calm.


    ¡°Looking for me, what for?¡± the Abyssal Master continued to stare at Yang Xiaotian, puzzled as to how he had got in.


    ¡°To kill you!¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and slowly said, ¡°To absorb your Beast Soul and condense a million-year Soul Ring!¡±


    The Abyssal Master paused for a moment, then burst intoughter. Itsughter shook the Abyss tumultuously while rocks fell like rain from the high cliffs surrounding the Abyss.


    ¡°Little guy, you want to kill me?¡± the Abyssal Masterughed, ¡°Do you know how long I have lived? I have lived for nearly two million years! This is the first time I¡¯ve heard someone say they want to kill me, to absorb my Beast Soul!¡±


    It did not get angry but chuckled, ¡°You¡¯ve got guts, little guy. How about this, I won¡¯t kill you either. I¡¯m very bored here in this Hell Abyss, so why don¡¯t you stay here with me at the bottom of the Abyss?¡±


    As for how long to apany, of course, until the day it ascended to the Nine Heavens.


    Just as it finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian shouted, ¡°Master Ding!¡±

 Chapter 297: 297: The Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master

    Chapter 297: The Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s howl echoed, suddenly, his body burst into brilliant golden light, and a beam of golden light shot straight into the sky.


    As the golden light soared into the sky, the entire abyss was illuminated.


    The abyss, originally shrouded in the Dark Sea of the Abyssal Master, was so dark that it suffocated one¡¯s breath, but now, the thick darkness, thick like water, was actually covered by the golden light.


    The golden radiance prated every corner of the Hell Abyss.


    The Dark Sea of the Abyssal Master was as if draped in ayer of gold.


    Even the Abyssal Master seemed to be cloaked in ayer of golden light.


    In the astonished eyes of the Abyssal Master, the golden-lit Medicine Cauldron began to expand wildly.


    The originally man-height Medicine Cauldron swelled to ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang in an instant!


    Atst, ten thousand zhang!


    It even becamerger than the original form of the Abyssal Master!<div>


    The boundless divine might, like an endless sea, swept out from the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian watched the transformation of the Medicine Cauldron, dumbstruck.


    He had seen the Medicine Cauldron take action before, but this was the first time he had seen it grow sorge, and the first time he witnessed such a majestic power of the Medicine Cauldron.


    Is this Master Ding¡¯s true form?


    Damn! The true form of Master Ding is really this big!


    In that moment, all the powerful beings who had entered the Soul Beast Forest saw an incredibly terrifying golden column of light shooting into the Nine Heavens.


    It illuminated regions around the Hell Abyss, one after another.


    Wei Zongyuan, the Demon Sky Sword God, and Lan Tianchang, who had entered the Soul Beast Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, also saw this astonishing column of golden light.


    ¡°This direction is, the location of the Hell Abyss!¡± The Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s face changed dramatically, ¡°It¡¯s the Hell Abyss, something has happened in the Hell Abyss!¡±


    Lan Tianchang¡¯s face also drastically changed.


    They knew what kind of ce the Hell Abyss was. If something went wrong there, it would be an earth-shattering event.


    A supremely earth-shattering event!


    ¡°Could it be that someone has entered the Hell Abyss? Exactly which Supreme Overlord is it? Could it be Lord Azure Bear, the ancient Beast God!¡± Lan Tianchang spoke with a trembling voice.


    In his view, the only ones who could enter the Hell Abyss and dare to confront the Abyssal Master were their Master of Azure God¡¯s Mount Beast, the ancient Beast God, Lord Azure Bear.


    The Demon Sky Sword God took a deep breath, about to speak, when suddenly, a heaven-shattering explosion roared out from the Hell Abyss.


    The sound was so tremendous, it was unknown how far it carried.


    The entire Soul Beast Forest trembled violently.


    The cataclysmic power, centering on the Hell Abyss, started to strike in all directions.


    Over the Hell Abyss, a terrifying spatial ck hole was blown open by this frightening force.<div>


    This heaven-shattering explosion chilled the Divine Souls of all the Soul Beasts around the Hell Abyss within the Divine Spirit Realm, sending them fleeing in panic, howling incessantly.


    The entire Soul Beast Forest seemed as if it was on the verge of apocalypse.


    The Demon Sky Sword God was shocked and, taking Wei Zongyuan with him, soared up into the sky, ¡°We must retreat quickly!¡±


    Lan Tianchang also fled in terror, tucking his legs and running.<div>


    If the Soul Beasts of the Soul Beast Forest were to simultaneously go berserk, it would be truly horrific.


    And more so with so many Divine Spirit Realm Soul Beasts in an uproar.


    The experts from various Sects and families who had entered the Soul Beast Forest also scrambled out in fear.


    At this time, within the Hell Abyss, the massive Medicine Cauldron and the huge Abyssal Master began a series of heaven-shattering collisions.


    It was like a golden strongman and a dark strongman continually mming into each other.


    Hantian explosions kept resounding.


    The destructive power hurled Yang Xiaotian directly into the sheer cliffs of the abyss.


    Yang Xiaotian was so shaken that he doubted the God of the World.


    He was so shaken that heaven became earth, and earth became heaven.


    Everything was in chaos, nine parts out of ten were disced.


    However, with every Earth-shaking collision, the Abyssal Master¡¯s body would be wracked with rolling dark energy, surging like a tumultuous Dark Sea struck by a golden mountain.


    With each impact, the Abyssal Master was shaken, forced to retreat while howling continuously.


    The Abyssal Master raised its mountainous giant w and struck down upon the Medicine Cauldron.<div>


    A thunderous boom ensued.


    A great explosion of golden light.


    But the Medicine Cauldron was not sent flying, instead, it was the Abyssal Master that kept retreating.


    Yang Xiaotian watched this world-shaking battle, too shocked for words.


    Back then, the battle between the Azure Thunder Python, the Iceme Qilin¨Ctwo Beast Gods¨Cagainst Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the seventeen Divine Spirits was shocking enough, butpared to the battle before him, it seemed like child¡¯s y.


    What an immense power this was.


    Was this the power that surpassed Divine Spirits?


    Yang Xiaotian gazed intently at the sh between the Abyssal Master and Master Ding.


    Back in the Red Moon Forest, Master Ding had him face the power of the beast tide to temper his will, but now, the power of the Abyssal Master and Master Ding far surpassed mere tempering of will.


    After a protracted battle, the dark energy on the Abyssal Master¡¯s body grew weaker and weaker.


    Even its roaring voice gradually softened.


    Yang Xiaotian could see, the Abyssal Master waspletely suppressed by the Medicine Cauldron.


    Seeing this oue, he finally let go of the anxiety he had been holding onto.<div>


    Time passed.


    Eventually, everything calmed down.


    Even with the protection of the Golden Light Shield, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he was bleeding internally from all over his body.


    He clung to the depths of the cliff, his bones felt shattered, and he couldn¡¯t even move his fingers.


    It was only under the operation of the Primordial Dragon Art that he slowly regained sensation in his hands and feet.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian was able to emerge from the depths of the cliff.


    Aftering out, he was stunned by the sight of the Hell Abyss, which was utterly disfigured and riddled with scars.


    He saw boulders that had tumbled down from the cliffs, the precipices of the Abyss had almost all been sted through, with terrifying ck holes densely packed together, and the ground had been bombed into numerous pits.


    The scene before him was like the aftermath of Heaven and Earth copsing.


    The enormous Abyssal Mastery weakly among the billions of stones.


    Its dark aura had dissipatedpletely, revealing its true form.


    It had a pair of iparably huge fangs, sharp ws, and a body ck as darkness itself, with blood-red eyes and two rows of giant des grown along its back.


    Seeing the Abyssal Master¡¯s true form, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. He had browsed through many books on Soul Beasts yet couldn¡¯t recognize what kind of Soul Beast the Abyssal Master was.<div>


    At this moment, the Medicine Cauldron shrank back to the size of a palm and descended from high above. It said, ¡°This is one of the Hell Beasts!¡±


    ¡°Hell Beast?¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise, ¡°Master Ding, do you mean to say, ites from Hell?¡±


    Is there really such a ce as Hell in this world?


    ¡°Indeed, ites from Hell,¡± the Medicine Cauldron replied. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing you prepared enough Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, otherwise, both you and I might have perished here.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about to die now, get ready to absorb its Beast Soul.¡±


    ¡°However, it¡¯s close to two million years old. The strength of its Beast Soul is beyond imagination, and you must hold on.¡±


    If Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t absorb the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul, he would definitely burst.


    A shiver ran through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart as he flew above the head of the Abyssal Master. As soon as he had seated himself cross-legged, the Abyssal Masterypletely still and motionless, and then, an intensely dark orb of light burst forth from inside its head.


    Within the dark orb, there was a miniature version of the Abyssal Master.


    Though it was a miniature, it was still as big as a mountain.


    This was the Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master.


    Yang Xiaotian hastily summoned his Supreme King Martial Soul.

 Chapter 298: The Million-Year Soul Ring

    Chapter 298: The Million-Year Soul Ring


    Yang Xiaotian had two Supreme King Martial Souls.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian nned to use his ck Dragon Martial Spirit to absorb the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul.


    Although the ck Tortoise and the ck Dragon were both Supreme King Martial Souls, Yang Xiaotian still preferred the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, perhaps because he came from Earth and held a special sentiment for dragons.


    Therefore, he intended to use the ck Dragon Martial Spirit to absorb the Abyssal Master.


    After all, the Abyssal Master was a Soul Beast nearing two million years of age, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. To find another nearly two-million-year-old Soul Beast next time would likely be impossible.


    The ck Dragon Martial Spirit hovered above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯smand, the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, reminiscent of the Ancient Divine Mountain, opened its maw and started swallowing the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul.


    Instantly, streams of ck light surged continuously from the ball of light that was the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul.


    The ck light signified the energy of the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul.


    However, this energy was immensely vast, like a massive tidal wave ceaselessly pouring into the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, swelling its body even though it had evolved to the Supreme King level.


    And it kept swellingrger still.


    The energy transformed from the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul still stormed into the ck Dragon Martial Spirit like relentless, surging waves.


    The ck Dragon Martial Spirit swelled to twice its size.


    Yang Xiaotian was spiritually connected to the ck Dragon Martial Spirit and also felt a faint, excruciating pain in his consciousness.


    He ceaselessly rotated the Primordial Dragon Art over and over again.


    True Essence Dragons coiled around his body.


    As the Primordial Dragon Art continued, the ck Dragon Martial Spirit¡¯s absorption rate increased significantly, but even with the increased rate of absorption, it continued to expand.


    The energy of the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul exceeded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s imagination.


    If it were the energy of an ordinary million-year Soul Beast, the ck Dragon could have withstood it, but the Abyssal Master was not an ordinary million-year beast; it neared two million years.


    The dragon body of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit began showing tiny cracks.


    If it continued like this, the ck Dragon Martial Spirit would eventually burst.


    As cracks appeared on the dragon body of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirit suffered intense pain.


    An invisible force tore incessantly at his consciousness, and this severe pain originated deep within his soul.


    Yang Xiaotian clenched his teeth tightly, persisting in rotating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Dragon Martial Spirit continued to absorb the energy of the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul over and over.


    Time passed.


    The cracks on the ck Dragon Martial Spirit¡¯s dragon body grewrger.


    Even the Dragon Scales on its body started to fall off.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s pain wasn¡¯t just bone-deep anymore.


    It hurt so much he wanted to scream aloud.


    It hurt so much he thought about giving up.


    The pain was ten, even a hundred times worse than being sliced by a thousand knives.


    However, Yang Xiaotian knew that if he gave up, he would never be able to reach the pinnacle in this lifetime, and his ck Dragon Martial Spirit would bear scars that could never be erased.


    By then, his Martial Dao heart would no longer be wless.


    Bing a god in the future would likely be difficult.


    So, no matter how much it hurt, Yang Xiaotian kept persisting in rotating the Primordial Dragon Art.


    The ck Dragon Martial Spirit absorbed the energy of the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul time and again.


    Time ticked by, second by second.


    The Dragon Scales on the ck Dragon Martial Spirit kept falling off.


    Due to the extreme pain, Yang Xiaotian was nearing aatose state.


    Yet, he maintained thest bit of consciousness, not allowing himself to copse.


    Just when all the Dragon Scales had fallen off the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, suddenly, intense ck mes erupted from the dragon body of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit.


    Enveloped in ck mes, the dragon body of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit began to sprout tiny scales once more.


    And these scales grew robustly in the blink of an eye, densely covering the body again.


    As the scales regenerated, the cracks on the dragon body of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit gradually healed.


    Even the pain in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind lessened significantly.


    This filled Yang Xiaotian with surprise.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that after evolving into the Supreme King, the ck Dragon Martial Spirit would possess self-healing abilities.


    The ck mes were somewhat simr to the Phoenix¡¯s nirvana mes.


    However, after the dragon scales of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit had regrown all over its body, soon they were once again ruptured by the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul energy, and the scales fell off once more.


    But after all the scales of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit had fallen off, the ck mes reappeared.


    In this manner, the dragon scales of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit fell and then regrew time and again.


    With each regrowth, the scales became increasingly glossy and the dragon¡¯s body more resilient.


    After nine times, finally, even the Beast Soul energy of the Abyssal Master, no matter how strong, could no longer rupture the dragon body of the ck Dragon.


    The ck Dragon absorbed the other¡¯s Beast Soul energy voraciously.


    Eventually, the mountainous Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master began to shrink.


    At first, it shrunk by oneyer.


    Then, it shrunk by twoyers, threeyers!


    As the Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master shrank, a faint golden-red light ring appeared all over the ck Dragon¡¯s body.


    This was the Soul Ring.


    A ten-year Soul Ring is the most basic and is white; a one-hundred-year Soul Ring turns yellow.


    A thousand-year Soul Ring is purple; ten thousand years are impressive, represented by ck.


    A hundred thousand-year Soul Ring turns a purple-ish red.


    But at this moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring was red emitting golden light, gold mixed with red, and red inteced with gold.


    Several dayster, the golden-red Soul Ring became brighter and more solidified.


    When the golden-red Soul Ring solidified to the extreme, outside the golden-red light circle, another faint golden-red ring appeared.


    One golden-red light ring signified that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring had reached a million years; two rings indicated two million years. However, since the Abyssal Master was close to two million years old, the second ring was much fainterpared to the first.


    Finally, the ck Dragonpletely absorbed the Beast Soul energy of the Abyssal Master.


    The Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master turned into a beam of ck light and merged into the ck Dragon, bing one with it.


    The light of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring surged.


    It even illuminated the entire Hell Abyss, not only lighting up the entirety of the Hell Abyss but also the surrounding vast expanses of space, glowing red and shimmering gold.


    Yang Xiaotian ceased the cirction of the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Looking at the radiant Soul Ring light circles around him, Yang Xiaotian revealed a smile of joy thates after surviving a cmity.


    A million-year Soul Ring had finally coalesced!


    Still, recalling the near-death experience and inhuman pain, Yang Xiaotian felt lingering fear.


    Luckily, after evolving to the Supreme King, the ck Dragon Martial Spirit had acquired the ability to heal itself; otherwise, not only would the ck Dragon Martial Spirit have burst, but even his own soul might have been destroyed.


    Master Ding then spoke with augh, ¡°Not bad, you¡¯ve finally managed to coalesce it. Your ability to form a million-year Soul Ring this time can be described as rebirth from a cocoon, the benefits for you are unimaginable.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian alsoughed happily, ¡°I was able to form a million-year Soul Ring thanks to Master Ding; otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to do it.¡± Then he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t imagine Master Ding¡¯s original body was sorge.¡±


    Medicine Cauldronughed and said, ¡°This is still not my original body; my actual body is muchrger than this.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked, ¡°This isn¡¯t Master Ding¡¯s original body?¡±


    ¡°My original body isrger than the entire Soul Beast Forest,¡± said Medicine Cauldron.


    Larger than the Soul Beast Forest!


    Yang Xiaotian was thoroughly astounded.

 Chapter 299 - 299 Deep Sea Demon Roc

    Chapter 299: Deep Sea Demon Roc


    The Abyssal Master¡¯s true form is big enough, isn¡¯t it.


    It could burst the entire Hell Abyss.


    After the Medicine Cauldron grewrger previously, it became even bigger than the Abyssal Master.


    That was already shocking enough.


    Now, the Medicine Cauldron actually says its real form is bigger than the Soul Beast Forest!


    How big is that!


    Yang Xiaotian found it hard to imagine.


    You should know the Soul Beast Forest is vast and boundless, evenrger than the area of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    In fact, the Medicine Cauldron was understating it, its true form was not just bigger than the Soul Beast Forest.


    ¡°Got scared?¡± the Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing to it. Your surprise now is mainly because your vision is limited. Once you be a god in the future and your horizons widen, you won¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to it.¡±


    Then it said, ¡°The Abyssal Master is a Soul Beast nearing two million years old, its whole body is a treasure, and cannot be wasted.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian snapped back to reality.


    A Soul Beast of ten thousand years, its whole body is a treasure.


    For example, its beast blood can be used to refine Soul Pills, and warriors who consume Soul Pills for their cultivation can strengthen their soul power.


    For example, its beast bones and skin can be used to make armor, which can resist the soul attacks of enemies.


    If the blood, skin, and bones of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast have such effects, not to mention the Abyssal Master, a Soul Beast nearing two million years.


    Immediately, Yang Xiaotian collected the Abyssal Master¡¯s true form into the Medicine Cauldron.


    Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian searched the Hell Abyss again and, after confirming there were no oversights, he finally left the Hell Abyss.


    Coming out of the Hell Abyss, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he had seen the light of day again.


    In the Hell Abyss, it was like being trapped in a dark quagmire, and the feeling was as ufortable as it could get.


    However, now that the Abyssal Master was sted to death, the dark energy of the Hell Abyss had begun to dissipate gradually.


    Yang Xiaotian returned the way he came and saw the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin.


    Both of them were extremely anxious and tormented, overjoyed to see Yang Xiaotian emerge.


    ¡°Young master!¡± they eximed with delight as they greeted him.


    Looking at their hopeful eyes, Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s done!¡±


    It¡¯s done!


    In their joy, the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin were immensely shocked.


    Their young master had actually seeded in condensing! He¡¯d condensed a million-year Soul Ring!


    Since ancient times, no one had been able to condense a million-year Soul Ring.


    Thest person to condense a million-year Soul Ring was their master of the Azure God Continent, Lord Azure God.


    After more than a million years, the Azure God Continent finally had a million-year Soul Ring again.


    However, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t leave the Soul Beast Forest right away but continued to search near the Hell Abyss to see if he could find a second million-year Soul Beast.


    After all, his ck Tortoise Martial Soul had yet to condense a Soul Ring. If possible, he wanted to condense the second million-year Soul Ring as well.


    But to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s great disappointment, after searching tirelessly for several days, he still did not find a second million-year Soul Beast.


    Let alone a million years, even a nine hundred thousand-year Soul Beast was nowhere to be found.


    There were a few ten thousand and twenty thousand-year Soul Beasts, but they were too far from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s requirements.


    Night fell.


    Yang Xiaotian and a few others sat around the campfire, grilling meat, drinking wine.


    The night view of the Soul Beast Forest was still very beautiful.


    When he first entered the Soul Beast Forest, Yang Xiaotian found the soul beasts there to be quite annoying. Now, however, he actually found the roars of the beasts in the Soul Beast Forest rather pleasant to the ear.


    Perhaps it was due to absorbing the soul of the Abyssal Master.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python, together with the Iceme Qilin, were still discussing the million-year Soul Beasts.


    ¡°There probably isn¡¯t a second million-year Soul Beast in the Soul Beast Forest,¡± the Iceme Qilin shook its head and then reminisced, ¡°However, the Soul Sea might have one.¡±


    ¡°The Soul Sea!¡± The Azure Thunder Python¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Ice old man, are you talking about that one from the Soul Sea?¡±


    The face of the Iceme Qilin grew solemn, ¡°That¡¯s the one.¡±


    ¡°Soul Sea?¡± Yang Xiaotian was visibly confused.


    The Iceme Qilin exined, ¡°The Soul Sea is not located in the Azure God Continent, but it is adjacent to our continent. The Soul Sea is boundless, evenrger than the Soul Beast Forest. There is a Soul Beast God in the Soul Sea, who is also the master of the Soul Sea, and is likely also beyond a million years.¡±


    ¡°How long that one has lived, nobody knows, but its age shouldn¡¯t be much less than that of the Abyssal Master.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly invigorated.


    ¡°However, the Soul Sea is too far away,¡± the Azure Thunder Python shook its head, ¡°Even if I fly at full speed, it would take about three months.¡±


    Three months?


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow.


    ¡°What is the true form of the Soul Sea Master?¡± Yang Xiaotian then asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Deep Sea Demon Roc!¡± the Iceme Qilin spoke gravely, ¡°It is the offspring of the ancient Divine Beasts Roc and the ancient Demon Whale. Its strength in the sea is absolutely terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Legend has it, as long as the Soul Sea exists, it cannot die.¡±


    From this legend alone, one could perceive the terrifying strength of the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    ¡°Is there a flying ship that could reach the Soul Sea within a month?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Difficult!¡± the Azure Thunder Python said, ¡°Even regr Divine Artifact flying ships don¡¯t have such speed, unless it¡¯s a True God level ship.¡±


    Above Divine Artifacts are True God Artifacts.


    Suddenly, the Iceme Qilin said, ¡°I remember the ancestor of the Mu Family once obtained a damaged True God level flying ship. If it could be repaired, it could still be used, but repairing it, difficult!¡±


    The Mu Family?


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t expect that Mu Yunchun¡¯s Mu Family would possess a damaged True God Flying Ship.


    This time, having obtained many valuable items from the Abyssal Master, he should have no problem repairing a damaged True God Flying Ship.


    While Yang Xiaotian and the others were discussing the Deep Sea Demon Roc and the True God Flying Ship, suddenly, a tremendous shock and fierce beast roars came from ahead.


    Shortly after, an injured Soul Beast flew from afar and then crashed to the ground not far from Yang Xiaotian and the others.


    This Soul Beast was not weak, likely to have fifty thousand years of strength.


    Clearly, the person chasing it had at least the strength of the sixthyer of the Saint Realm.


    As the Soul Beast fell, a group of people flew in from a distance.


    The leader was a young man in a Buddha robe. Judging by his attire, he should be a student of the Buddha Source Academy.


    The Buddha Source Empire had two major academies, one was the Celestial Burial Academy, and the other was the Buddha Source Academy.


    To enter the Celestial Burial Academy, one simply needed to pay the tuition fee, but the Buddha Source Academy was different, one could only enter after passing through several assessments.


    To be admitted into Buddha Source Academy, one must be a genius.


    Behind the young man followed four individuals of the Saint Realm.


    The five of themnded beside the Soul Beast. The young man pulled out a deep blue broadsword and plunged it directly into the throat of the Soul Beast. Then, withdrawing the de, he stabbed again, venting his anger, ¡°Damn it, weren¡¯t you all mighty just now? Get up, goddammit.¡±


    He had almost died at the hands of this Soul Beast moments before.


    The blood of this Soul Beast sttered all around Yang Xiaotian, even flicking a few droplets onto his barbecue, filling the air with a pungent scent of blood.


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian frown, the young man brandished his sword pointing at Yang Xiaotian, brazenly aggressive with a fierce look, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, kid, you bothered by this? Believe it or not, I can stab you with this too.¡±

 Chapter 300: Defeating You with Half a Move is Enough

    Chapter 300: Defeating You with Half a Move is Enough


    However, as soon as the young man had spoken, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch directly.


    It struck the opponent¡¯s belly from afar.


    Thud!


    The young man was sent flying backward, crashing into the distant forest, rolling away for who knows how far.


    After a moment of stunned shock, the four Saint Realm powerhouses were all fuming with rage.


    ¡°Seeking death!¡±


    The four attacked in unison,unching their strikes toward Yang Xiaotian, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Iceme Qilin.


    The Iceme Qilin, however, hardly even looked at them, simply waving a hand, and a sweep of icy blue chill, like a surging sea, sent the four flying away in unison.


    The four were sted away until they nearly vanished from sight, crashing at the edge of the trio¡¯s field of vision.


    Seeing this, the young man¡¯s face drastically changed. He got to his feet feeling a severe tugging in his belly. He stared at Yang Xiaotian in anger and shock, but he didn¡¯t dare to say anything more and fled in panic.


    ¡°They must be from the Buddha Family,¡±mented the Iceme Qilin.


    From the way those four had attacked, it discerned that they were people from the Buddha Family of the Buddha Source Empire.


    The Buddha Family had deep roots and intricate power structures in Buddha Source, their influence nearly covering the entire region.


    While the Long Family of Zhongzhou was strong, they were still somewhat inferior to the Buddha Family.


    Moreover, the Buddha Family had a murky rtionship with the Peacock n.


    Yang Xiaotian was also aware of the Buddha Family, but he didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    The following day, at the crack of dawn,


    Yang Xiaotian left the Soul Beast Forest with the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin.


    Now that he knew of the existence of a million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Roc in the Soul Sea, there was no need for him to continue his arduous search in the Soul Beast Forest.


    Moreover, the day of his decisive battle with Wei Zongyuan was drawing near.


    Yang Xiaotian rode the Azure Thunder Python, rushing back to the Celestial Burial Academy at full speed.


    Finally, on the day before the decisive battle, he arrived back at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Due to his uing duel with Wei Zongyuan, powerhouses from various directions flocked to the Celestial Burial Academy.


    The Celestial Burial Academy was packed to the brim.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian returned to the Celestial Burial Academy, he heard the news spreading everywhere about Wei Zongyuan consolidating his Soul Ring.


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Soul Ring has a cultivation of ny-nine thousand years!¡±


    ¡°And the Soul Beast he hunted has the top-tier Divine Beast bloodline ¡ª the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King!¡±


    When it became known that Wei Zongyuan had hunted a Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King with a top-tier Divine Beast bloodline, and that it was ny-nine thousand years old, the hundreds of thousands of students of the Celestial Burial Academy were shaken to their core.


    In the Azure God Continent, no one was capable of cultivating a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.


    Therefore, ny-nine thousand years was already the upper limit.


    What¡¯s more, the Soul Beast that Wei Zongyuan hunted had an extremely potent bloodline ¡ª the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King.


    This was even more extraordinary.


    The Super Divine Beasts were nearly impossible to find.


    A Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King with a top-tier Divine Beast bloodline was second only to the Super Divine Beast.


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Soul Ring, although only ny-nine thousand years, might not be weaker than the legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!¡± eximed a n Elder in amazement.


    A Soul Beast with a powerful bloodline, upon being hunted, provided an equally powerful Soul Ring.


    Even with Soul Rings of the same age, their strength could differ.


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s ny-nine-thousand-year Soul Ring, obtained by hunting the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King, in terms of power, might truly not be inferior to the legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.


    Upon learning that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Soul Ring came from a 99,000-year-old Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    Knowing that Yang Xiaotian had returned, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Long Batian, and a few others hurried to find him.


    When he saw the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling in Buddha Source.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor quickly replied, ¡°To report to the young master, I have already found some clues about the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling in Buddha Source back then.¡±


    ¡°Oh!¡± Yang Xiaotian brightened up and asked, ¡°Where in Buddha Source?¡±


    ¡°In the Redemption Land of Buddha Source,¡± said the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor respectfully.


    Redemption Land?


    Yang Xiaotian was quite surprised.


    The Redemption Land was a very special ce in Buddha Source. Generally, it was where people judged guilty by the various major temples of Buddha Source were expelled, left to survive on their own.


    It was said that the Redemption Land sealed an evil demon of supreme wickedness, and due to the pollution of its malevolent aura, thend had no vitality; it was a pitiless wilderness with an extremeck of spiritual energy, wholly unsuitable for martial practitioners to reside.


    ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s in the Redemption Land?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian, still finding it odd that the Thousand Buddha Medicine God would build his cave dwelling in such a deste ce.


    ¡°It is in the Redemption Land,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor confirmed, ¡°but I haven¡¯t found the exact location yet. I¡¯ve sent people to keep searching.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, then took out a Saint-level Elixir and gave it to the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, ¡°When you find the exact location, I¡¯ll give you another one.¡±


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was overjoyed, bowing down profoundly in thanks.


    He was now a Demigod, and what hecked the most were Saint-level Elixirs.


    Long Batian, Li Yutian, and the others looked on with envy at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian led the group towards Mu Yunchun¡¯s Peach Blossom Peak.


    He wanted to ask Mu Yunchun about the True God Flying Ship.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was set to fight in a decisive battle tomorrow, yet still had the mind to seek out Mu Yunchun, Long Batian and the other three couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    At present, almost no one in the entire academy was optimistic about Yang Xiaotian.


    Not to mention the Celestial Burial Academy, even the powerhouses who hade to watch the battle from various factions did not favor Yang Xiaotian.


    The four of them were also concerned about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s decisive battle tomorrow.


    They knew Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength was extremely formidable, but upon learning that Wei Zongyuan had hunted down the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King and condensed a 99,000-year Soul Ring, their confidence couldn¡¯t help but waver.


    As Yang Xiaotian was heading to Peach Blossom Peak, he happened upon Wei Zongyuan on the way.


    Wei Zongyuan, surrounded by masters from various sects, wore deep blue brocade robes. He was impressive and highly conspicuous.


    Wei Zongyuan also saw Yang Xiaotian from a distance, and with a cold smile, he walked towards him, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I thought you were too scared toe back.¡±


    The day of the decisive battle was tomorrow, and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s absence had persisted, causing many in the academy to specte that Yang Xiaotian, having heard of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s 99,000-year Soul Ring, was too frightened to return.


    ¡°Scared? Why would I be scared toe back?¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°To defeat you would only take half a move.¡±


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s expressions turned bizarre in an instant.


    Almost no one in the whole academy was betting on Yang Xiaotian, yet what did he just say? To defeat Wei Zongyuan, he only needed half a move?


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s face turned bluish with anger, as he stared at Yang Xiaotian andughed furiously, ¡°Defeat me in half a move?¡±


    In other words, he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand even one move from Yang Xiaotian?


    All the subordinates behind Wei Zongyuan were infuriated, ring at Yang Xiaotian with unrestrained anger.


    ¡°Fine, Yang Xiaotian, then I¡¯ll be waiting, to see how you n to defeat me tomorrow!¡± said Wei Zongyuan in a cold voice, then led his entourage away.


    Long Batian, Li Yutian, and a few others watched Wei Zongyuan¡¯s departing figure, smiling wryly to themselves.


    They too had not expected that their young master would say he¡¯d defeat Wei Zongyuan in half a move.


    After leaving, Chen Sha behind Wei Zongyuan couldn¡¯t help but speak angrily, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, damn it, does he think he has a hundred thousand year Soul Ring?¡±


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s voice was chilling, ¡°Tomorrow, I will torture him until he dies, even if he kneels and begs for mercy, it will be useless!¡±

 Chapter 301: 301

    Chapter 301: 301


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bold im that he¡¯d beat Wei Zongyuan in half a move quickly spread after Wei Zongyuan purposively publicized it.


    Atop a certain peak of Celestial Burial Academy, a young man in a green robe heard the news and shook his head with a smile, ¡°This little guy is even bolder than I was back in the day.¡±


    The green-robed youth was none other than the Green Lotus Sword Deity!


    He had also arrived at Celestial Burial Academy today.


    ¡°This little guy should be able to condense a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring,¡± the Green Lotus Sword Deity said, full of anticipation.


    Nowadays, no one in the Azure God Continent can condense a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.


    But this little guy, Yang Xiaotian, he just might be able to!


    And that was his purpose foring to watch the battle.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s talent had scored seventy-three hundred and twenty-one on the stele, which was a pleasant surprise for him.


    He hoped that this little guy would give him another surprise tomorrow.


    After Wei Zongyuan left, Yang Xiaotian went to Peach Blossom Peak.


    Mu Yunchun was extremely delighted by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s visit and wiggled her round bottom as she brewed tea for him.


    The tea was fragrant.


    Thedy was beautiful.


    Yang Xiaotian asked about the damaged True God Flying Ship.


    Mu Yunchun, upon hearing Yang Xiaotian inquire about the True God Flying Ship, did not hide anything, ¡°Indeed, our Mu Family has a damaged True God Flying Ship, found by our family¡¯s ancestor in the Demon God Land.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s now in our Mu Family¡¯s treasure vault.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt relieved.


    Mu Yunchun had said that as long as he cured her grandfather¡¯s peculiar cold poison, she would let him choose three treasures.


    Having gotten the information he needed, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t linger and rose to take his leave.


    Mu Yunchun was surprised to see Yang Xiaotian leave so soon and with a spring in her seductive eyes said, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s not often youe to Peach Blossom Peak. Why not stay the night and let sister take good care of you?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Mu Yunchun¡¯s charming curves and said, ¡°Let¡¯s save your hospitality for another time.¡± Then he quickly left with the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and the others.


    Mu Yunchun saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ears turn red and let out a bell-like teasingugh.


    After leaving Peach Blossom Peak, Yang Xiaotian returned to Medicine King Peak and practiced the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique in the courtyard.


    In recent days, he had perfected the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique up to the forty-fourth move.


    Only five moves left until he couldpletely master the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    ¡°Heaven-Prating Divine Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.


    He had already learned that a branch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was located in the Zhongzhou of the Buddha Source Empire.


    Once he mastered the Heaven-Prating Sword Techniquepletely, he nned to take a trip to Zhongzhou.


    After practicing the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique for a while, the sky had already darkened.


    Yang Xiaotian asked the Medicine Cauldron if there was a way to get himself into Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Now, he had condensed a million-year Soul Ring and could open the second hall of the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    ¡°I can take you inside,¡± Medicine Cauldron said, ¡°but it will require a cartload of nine-tiered Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was somewhat speechless.


    Master Ding was clearly taking advantage of the situation.


    Nheless, for the sake of the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian still used a cartload of nine-tiered Tribtion Thunder Water to have Medicine Cauldron take him into Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Once inside Celestial Burial Mountain, Yang Xiaotian passed through the Innate Sword Formation and once again opened the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    Standing before the second hall¡¯s great gate, he used the power of the Divine Elixir and the million-year Soul Ring to open the gate.


    After finding the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t browse through the technique but went outside to the Innate Sword Formation toprehend the myriad Sword Qi of the formation.


    These days, he had been diligently cultivating swordsmanship and was getting closer to condensing the ninth Sword Heart. Today, he intended to use the Myriad Swords Qi of the Innate Sword Formation to break through that threshold.


    To condense the ninth Sword Heart in one fell swoop!


    That was also why he had Medicine Cauldron bring him into Celestial Burial Mountain today.


    He was not only after the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique.


    He also wanted to condense the ninth Sword Heart before the decisive battle tomorrow!


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged in the Innate Sword Formation, facing the sea of Myriad Swords Qi, as Sword Qi gradually surged through his body, growing more intense.


    ¡°`


    The Sword Hearts within him began to awaken one by one.


    One, two, three, quickly, all eight Sword Hearts were awakened.


    The ninth Sword Heart was flickering in and out of visibility.


    But this time was different from thest; the ninth Sword Heart shone with a brilliant sword light, as if it were about to break forth.


    As time passed, the ninth Sword Heart became more stable, and the sword light grew increasingly more powerful.


    Hum!


    Suddenly, the ninth Sword Heart solidifiedpletely.


    When the ninth Sword Heart solidifiedpletely, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s nine Sword Hearts shot out dazzling sword lights.


    Under the influence of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s nine Sword Hearts, the myriad Sword Qi of the Innate Sword Formation were stirred into a frenzy, swelling like raging waves. The Sword Qi over the entire Celestial Burial Mountain was set aze.


    However, at this time, Celestial Burial Mountain was shrouded in a grand array, and no one noticed the abnormality.


    As Yang Xiaotian was consolidating the ninth Sword Heart, day had already broken.


    The radiant sun rose up.


    Light flooded Heaven and Earth.


    The summit of Celestial Burial Academy, Wangtian Peak, was already teeming with people.


    Powerhouses from all sides had almost all rushed to Wangtian Peak as soon as daylight hit.


    Experts from nearly all the superpowers in the Buddha Source Empire had arrived.


    Eastern Deste¡¯s He Family, Mu Family, Zhongzhou¡¯s Long Family, the Shi Family, and even the ancient powerhouses of the Phoenix n, Golden Divine n, and others arrived one after another.


    Even many reclusive old monsters and old demons who had not emerged for many years showed one by one.


    The powerhouses from all sides, seeing the emergence of distinguished characters seldom seen, were astounded.


    Many had not expected that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s decisive battle with Wei Zongyuan would draw so many peerless powerhouses to watch.


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan has arrived!¡± Someone in the crowd shouted.


    Wangtian Peak immediately erupted into intensemotion, and everyone looked over to see Wei Zongyuan in a deep blue brocade robe arriving through the sky.


    However, Wei Zongyuan was respectfully following behind two individuals.


    Seeing these two people, many faces lit up with feverish adoration.


    ¡°We have seen Lord Demon Sky!¡±


    ¡°We have seen Lord Sword God!¡±


    One by one, the experts of various sects bowed excitedly.


    Even the forebears of the He Family, Mu Family, Long Family, and Shi Family bowed respectfully.


    Furthermore, numerous strong powers knelt down in a gesture of respect.


    The neers were none other than the Demon Sky Sword God and the Peacock n Leader, Lan Tianchang.


    The Demon Sky Sword God, an invincible deity of swordsmanship, had, more than two thousand years ago, in four Divine Spirit Powerhouses with a single stroke of his sword, causing a tremor throughout the Eight Destes.


    The Demon Sky Sword God nodded slightly to the crowd and led Wei Zongyuan to the summit of Wangtian Peak.


    It took a while for everyone to rise to their feet.


    Shortly after, high-level experts from the Buddha Source Imperial Family also arrived in session.


    As time passed, the sun climbed higher in the sky.


    But Yang Xiaotian was nowhere to be seen.


    ¡°What is taking Yang Xiaotian so long? A mere junior making so many of us strong powers wait here; he¡¯s certainly full of himself!¡± the patriarch of the He family, He Wei, huffed coldly.


    Chen Ting, the Master of the ck Wind Sect, also spoke coldly: ¡°He¡¯s not just full of himself, he¡¯s utterly arrogant!¡±


    The Demon Sky Sword God actually frowned as well.


    Clearly, he was displeased with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s dy.


    Just as Wei Zongyuan was about to speak, suddenly, someone in the crowd eximed, ¡°Yang Xiaotian ising!¡±


    All eyes turned to look.


    In the sky, a figure was making its approach.


    Previously, when Wu Peng of the Sky-Stepping Sect and seventeen Divine Spirits besieged the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian arrived, stepping on Earth me and treading through the air. Now, it was the same, with Earth me under his feet, he came striding through the sky.

 Chapter 302: 302: Just 7 Golden Buddha Sword Hearts

    Chapter 302: Just 7 Golden Buddha Sword Hearts


    Under the sunlight, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure seemed to be cloaked in ayer of golden color. There was no aura about him, but the whole Wangtian Peak suddenly fell silent.


    The strong fighters from various sects looked at the Earth me, and their shock was apparent.


    Even the Demon Sky Sword God, upon seeing the Earth me beneath Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet, had a sh in his eyes.


    The Earth me, the strongest Abnormal Fire!


    Whoever sees the Earth me can hardly suppress their astonishment.


    Wei Zongyuan was equally astonished.


    Although he knew that Yang Xiaotian had used the Earth me to melt the Purple Cold Ice of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, he had not seen it with his own eyes and was witnessing the legendary Earth me for the first time.


    ¡°It¡¯s just an Abnormal Fire, only useful for Alchemy,¡± all of a sudden, the ancestor of the He Family, He Wei, said with a coldugh, ¡°It can¡¯t be used for a decisive battle.¡±


    However, no one chimed in.


    Because everyone knew that Abnormal Fire wasn¡¯t only useful for Alchemy.<div>


    For example, the Purple Cold Ice of the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was melted by the Earth me.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity, invisible in the void, looked at Yang Xiaotian who was standing on the Earth me andughed, ¡°This little guy, quite showy.¡±


    Then he said, ¡°He has the demeanor I had back in the day.¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xiaotian arrived at Wangtian Peak, retracted the Earth me, and descended.


    In the center of Wangtian Peak was a vast clearing. Seeing Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, Wei Zongyuan walked out to the clearing. Standing with his hands behind his back, he stared at Xiaotian: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve finallye.¡±


    He had been waiting for this battle for a full three months.


    Ever since he agreed to the decisive battle at the summit of the Celestial Burial Academy three months ago, he had been waiting eagerly for this fight.


    Finally, the battle had arrived.


    In the crowd, Long Batian, the Phoenix Lady, Mu Yunchun, Chen Sha, and everyone else¡¯s eyes were on Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan.


    Thinking of Xiaotian¡¯s words from yesterday, iming he could defeat him in half a move, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous intent: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, are you ready?¡±


    Looking at Wei Zongyuan, whose eyes were full of murderous intent, Xiaotian remained calm, ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    As soon as Xiaotian¡¯s words fell, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s body burst out with colorful Sword Qi, which spread behind him like a peacock¡¯s tail.


    ¡°King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body!¡±


    Everyone watching the Sword Qi behind Wei Zongyuan was amazed.


    Many hadn¡¯t expected Wei Zongyuan to use the Peacock n¡¯s strongest sword form, King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body, right from the start.


    Clearly, Wei Zongyuan wanted to crush Xiaotian with an overwhelming force!


    Amidst the crowd¡¯s surprised looks, the Sword Qi behind Wei Zongyuan continued to grow.


    Soon, his Sword Qi reached ten thousand strands.


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body has indeed broken through to the tenth level!¡± an elder eximed in amazement.<div>


    Ten thousand strands meant that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body had stepped into the tenth level.


    Just as Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Qi reached ten thousand strands, suddenly, his body¡¯s Sword Qi surged violently again, with Sword Qi continuing to burst forth from within.


    In the blink of an eye, it reached a staggering twenty thousand strands!


    ¡°The eleventh level!¡±<div>


    ¡°King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body eleventh level!¡±


    On the scene, all the strong characters were shocked.


    If King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body broke through to the eleventh level, the Sword Qi would reach twenty thousand strands!


    Once it broke through to the eleventh level, the power of King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body would double again.


    Nobody had anticipated that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body would break through to the eleventh level.


    It was already incredibly difficult to cultivate the King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body to the tenth level, let alone the eleventh.


    All were astounded.


    Even the Green Lotus Sword Deity in the void was taken aback.


    For Wei Zongyuan to cultivate the King Ming¡¯s Immovable Sword Body to the eleventh level at such a young age, his Sword Dao Talent was undoubtedly stunning.


    In everyone¡¯s astonishment, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s body suddenly burst forth with Sword Qi that resembled a golden Buddha.


    Within the Sword Qi, there was the gleam ofyer uponyer of golden Buddha light.


    ¡°Golden Buddha Sword Heart!¡±


    The power Wei Zongyuan was channeling was indeed from his Golden Buddha Sword Heart.<div>


    The violent surge of seven Golden Buddha Sword Heart powers stirred up the winds and clouds.


    Seven Golden Buddha Shadows condensed around his body.


    Wei Zongyuan seemed to be the very incarnation of the Buddha himself.


    With the enhancement of the seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, his Vajra Unmoving Sword Qi shone even more dazzlingly, lighting up the Nine Heavens and illuminating every corner of Wangtian Peak.


    ¡°Seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts! Stunning through the ages!¡± He Wei of the He Family¡¯s old ancestors eximed in shock.


    Beholding Wei Zongyuan¡¯s seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, all the powerful attendees at the scene were shocked.


    To condense a single Golden Buddha Sword Heart was already remarkable.


    To condense seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts was exceedingly rare.


    Let alone the Buddha Source Empire, it was extremely rare throughout the entire Azure God Continent.


    Even old ancestors like He Wei were shocked by Wei Zongyuan¡¯s seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, much less Long Batian, Phoenix Lady, Mu Yunchun, and others.


    In the void above, the Green Lotus Sword Deity was also astounded.


    While everyone was in shock, Wei Zongyuan made his move.


    He thrust forward with the long sword in his hand.<div>


    Under the simultaneous infusion of the eleventhyer of the Vajra Unmoving Sword Body¡¯s power and the seven Golden Buddha Sword Heart powers, his long sword hummed violently and emitted a multicolored radiance along with the light of the Golden Buddha.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, get out of Wangtian Peak!¡± Wei Zongyuan¡¯s chilly voice echoed through heaven and earth.


    Vajra¡¯s twenty thousand Sword Qi burst forth from his long sword, transforming into a terrifying Sword River.


    The strength of the Sword River was such that it caused all the Emperor Realm powerhouses present to change their expressions.


    Seeing Wei Zongyuan¡¯s strike, an Emperor Realm level five powerhouse said tremblingly, ¡°In the same realm, is there anyone who could take this strike?¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, Yang Xiaotian imed he would defeat Wei Zongyuan within half a move. If now he can¡¯t even handle a single strike from Wei Zongyuan, that would indeed beughable!¡± He Wei of the He Family¡¯s old ancestors spoke with a cold voice.


    In the blink of an eye, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Sword River had already thundered toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Sword River was about to hit Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a heaven-shaking dragon¡¯s roar rang out, as countless True Dragons surged forth from within Yang Xiaotian, and a terrifying dragon might swept across heaven and earth.


    All the surrounding air currents were sted away.


    ¡°Merely seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts.¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s indifferent voice sounded.


    In that instant, a surge of Nine-Colored brilliance eddied around his body.


    A torrent of Nine-Colored Sword Qi burst out.


    One, two, three¡­ In the blink of an eye, seven Nine-Colored Sword Hearts were awakened.<div>


    ¡°Seven Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± The crowd was shocked to witness the sudden transformation before their eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian had also condensed seven Sword Hearts, and moreover, they were Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    ¡°This child, truly peerless!¡± The Demon Sky Sword God eximed in amazement, looking at Yang Xiaotian.


    As everyone was stunned by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s seven Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, suddenly, next to the seven Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, another burst of Nine-Colored Sword Aura exploded into brilliance.


    ¡°What! Eight Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s eight Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°How is that possible! He¡¯s only in the Emperor Realm!¡±


    He Wei of the He Family¡¯s old ancestors was aghast.


    All the old ancestors and Sect powerhouses alike were shocked.


    Even the Demon Sky Sword God, Lan Tianchang, and the Green Lotus Sword Deity in the void above all had stunned expressions.


    Just as everyone was taken aback by this, suddenly, right beside the eighth Nine-Colored Sword Heart, another Nine-Colored Sword Aura blossomed forth.


    ¡°The ninth Nine-Colored Sword Heart!¡±


    In the astonished eyes of everyone, the ninth Nine-Colored Sword Heart shone brilliantly, so eternal!

 Chapter 303: 303: Then I Really Want to Broaden My Horizons

    Chapter 303: Then I Really Want to Broaden My Horizons


    Nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!


    How shocking!


    How peerless!


    The nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts burst forth simultaneously with dazzling sword lights, changing the color of the heaven and earth.


    Wangtian Peak was illuminated by the light of the Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, followed by one peak after another, all lit up in their glow.


    Beams of Nine-Colored Sword Qi boomed into the Nine Heavens.


    The sword light from Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Golden Buddha Sword Heart waspletely overshadowed.


    The once brilliant light of the seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts faded, losing all their luster.


    In the presence of the power of the nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, the power of the seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts seemed so insignificant.


    Both He Wei and Chen Ting felt as if they were being blinded by the brightness.<div>


    He Zhen, Chen Sha, and others were trembling at the corners of their mouths, their faces pale and their hands and feet shaking.


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°Damn damn damn!¡±


    In the crowd, Zuo Qiu, popping up from who knows where, kept swearing in awe as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    In the midst of Zuo Qiu¡¯s incessant swearing, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch.


    Instantly, the power of the nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts erupted wildly.


    Like a tsunami, like a mountain copsing.


    The space thundered incessantly.


    The sword river formed by the seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts cracked inch by inch, disintegrating bit by bit.


    In Wei Zongyuan¡¯s horrified expression, the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart overwhelmed him.


    Wei Zongyuan was swept up by a nine-colored storm.


    Tossed into the air.


    He soared over everyone.


    Flew out of Wangtian Peak, crashing straight into the opposing mountain.


    With a thunderous boom, rocks tumbled down.


    The opposite mountain, from the top down, developed countless cracks extending throughout.


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡°Half a move!¡± After a while, someone muttered.


    Yesterday, when Yang Xiaotian imed he would defeat Wei Zongyuan in half a move, many sneered.<div>


    Now that Wei Zongyuan couldn¡¯t even withstand a single move, what was it if not half a move?


    He Wei, who had just questioned whether Yang Xiaotian could even withstand a single move from Wei Zongyuan, felt as if the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart was stuck in his throat.


    ¡°One of a kind throughout the ages!¡± The Buddha Source Imperial Family Ancestor eximed in shock as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    Since ancient times, the only one capable of condensing nine Sword Hearts in the Emperor Realm had been Yang Xiaotian alone.<div>


    By condensing nine Sword Hearts, one could engrave their name on the Celestial Burial Stele at the entrance of Celestial Burial Academy, to be admired for all eternity, to be remembered by all tribes.


    This was a height that countless powerhouses of the Celestial Burial Academy had spent their lives trying to reach but never could.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian, in the Emperor Realm, had achieved it.


    Yang Xiaotian, in the Emperor Realm, was qualified to have his name carved on the Celestial Burial Stele.


    ¡°This little guy really surprises me greatly!¡± eximed the Green Lotus Sword Deity from the void, overwhelmed with astonishment and emotion.


    Nine Sword Hearts, that was truly the posture of a Sword God.


    Moreover, all of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Hearts were the Strongest Sword Hearts, and once he achieved the status of Sword God, he would definitely be the strongest Sword God.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian, almost forgetting about Wei Zongyuan, who had been sted into the opposing peak.


    Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, Wei Zongyuan burst out from within the mountain, returning to Wangtian Peak.


    They saw that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s blue robe hadpletely burst open, revealing a piece of ck armor underneath.


    Had it not been for this armor, thatst strike would have not just left him unscathed, but severely injured.


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in dust, no longer bearing the earlier air of detachment.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian with a mixture of shock and fury, unable to believe that Xiaotian had actually condensed nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.<div>


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, so what if you¡¯ve condensed nine Sword Hearts!¡± Wei Zongyuan was filled with a murderous intent, ¡°Do you think you¡¯ve beaten me? I have the ck Divine Armor, even with your nine Sword Hearts, you can¡¯t break my ck Divine Armor!¡±


    With that said, his body surged with light, and a Golden Core flew out from within him.


    This Golden Core was actually ck in color.


    As the Golden Core emerged, the power of darkness seemed boundless.


    Heaven and Earth appeared to instantly plunge into endless darkness.


    All the sunlight was devoured by the Golden Core.


    In the end, only the glow of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Hearts remained.


    But beneath the enveloping power of darkness of the Golden Core, the light from Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Hearts seemed like a fragile ship on the brink of obliteration at any moment.


    Seeing Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Golden Core, a Sect Ancestor¡¯s face drastically changed as he eximed, ¡°A ck Demon Golden Elixir!¡±


    A ck Demon Golden Elixir!


    As soon as these words were spoken, the world was shocked.


    The ck Demon Golden Elixir was ranked as the fourth supreme Golden Core.


    Although people in the Buddha Source Empire had condensed Supreme Golden Cores from the top ten, there had never been anyone who had condensed the top three Supreme Golden Cores.<div>


    Therefore, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s ck Demon Golden Elixir was the strongest Supreme Golden Core in the history of the Buddha Source Empire.


    The Demon Sky Sword God looked at Wei Zongyuan¡¯s ck Demon Golden Elixir with a satisfied smile.


    It was precisely because Wei Zongyuan had condensed the ck Demon Golden Elixir that he had taken him as a disciple.


    With the ck Demon Golden Elixir, Wei Zongyuan, practicing his Sword Dao, was destined to surpass him in the future.


    Wei Zongyuan fully stimted the power of the ck Demon Golden Elixir, its cataclysmic force churning wildly, devouring the skies and the earth. He seemed to transform into a ck Demon, his eyes filled with the Light of ck Demon, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I refuse to believe that you can condense one of the top three Supreme Golden Cores!¡±


    Everyone turned to look at Yang Xiaotian.


    If Xiaotian could not condense one of the top three Supreme Golden Cores, it would likely be impossible for him to suppress Wei Zongyuan.


    Yang Xiaotian, relying solely on his nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, could not contain the power of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s seven Golden Buddha Sword Heartsbined with the ck Demon Golden Elixir.


    Under the power of the ck Demon Golden Elixir, the strength of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts continued to soar.


    ¡°Can Yang Xiaotian condense one of the top three Supreme Golden Cores?¡± a Sect Ancestor stared at Xiaotian intently.


    ¡°The top three Supreme Golden Cores are not so easily condensed,¡± another Sect Ancestor shook his head, ¡°Having high talent doesn¡¯t mean that the Golden Core condensed will be superior.¡±


    Indeed, on the Azure God Continent, there were many geniuses, some of whom had talents surpassing Wei Zongyuan, but in the end, the Golden Cores they condensed were just ordinary Supreme Golden Cores.


    To condense one of the top ten Supreme Golden Cores was extremely difficult, requiring not only monstrous talent but also incredibly strong will and a resilient heart of the Martial Dao.<div>


    The likes of the Demon Sky Sword God and the Green Lotus Sword Deity were all watching Xiaotian, curious to see if the Golden Core he had condensed was one of the top three Supreme Golden Cores.


    ¡°Just the top three Supreme Golden Cores,¡± said Yang Xiaotian casually, looking at Wei Zongyuan, ¡°Do you think that the strongest in the world are only the top three Supreme Golden Cores?¡±


    At Xiaotian¡¯s words, everyone was startled.


    Aren¡¯t the top three Supreme Golden Cores the strongest?


    Upon hearing this, Wei Zongyuanughed as if hearing a great joke, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, are you saying that the strongest in the world aren¡¯t the top three Supreme Golden Cores?¡±


    ¡°Are you suggesting that the Golden Core you¡¯ve condensed is stronger than the top three Supreme Golden Cores?¡±


    ¡°I would really like to see for myself what Golden Core could possibly be stronger than the top three Supreme Golden Cores!¡±


    Many people in the crowd chuckled.


    Just as Wei Zongyuan finished speaking, suddenly, a terrifying golden light erupted from Yang Xiaotian, surging up like a tsunami, reaching for the sky.


    When the golden light surged, it scattered the Dark Power.


    Before, the Light of ck Demon was boundless, enveloping Heaven and Earth, but now a huge gap had been torn open.


    Above in the sky, sunlight once again shone down.


    Just when everyone was in shock, a Golden Core slowly rose from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    The moment the Golden Core emerged, the ground shook, and Wangtian Peak trembled uncontrobly, as did everyone present.


    Then, the surrounding mountains began to shake as well.


    The entire Heaven and Earth seemed incapable of withstanding the power of this Golden Core, trembling violently.


    Divine Light waves spread out like the tides of the sea.

 Chapter 304: 304: The New Master of Azure God Continent!

    Chapter 304: The New Master of Azure God Continent!


    The power of the Golden Core was invincible, sweeping through Heaven and Earth.


    Under the invincible power of the Golden Core, everyone was left breathless.


    All the onlookers were astonished as they watched the golden core, reflecting Divine Light, slowly rise behind Yang Xiaotian.


    The Demon Sky Sword God, the Green Lotus Sword Deity thought of an ancient legend and were equally astonished.


    This time, as Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan were locked in their decisive battle, Wang Qing, who had business to attend to, had note to watch because he was researching an ancient relic in the forbidden grounds of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Suddenly, the ground beneath him began to tremble.


    Wang Qing was startled. This ce was the academy¡¯s forbidden grounds; why would the earth suddenly shake?


    In the midst of his shock and doubt, he walked out from the ck hole.


    When he emerged from the ck hole, he saw the boundless, wave-like Divine Light towards the direction of Wangtian Peak.


    Upon seeing the boundless Divine Light, Wang Qing was greatly shaken, ¡°Could this be?!¡±<div>


    Just then, suddenly, an invincible Sword Qi burst forth from the deepest part of the forbidden area, piercing the sky.


    The strength of the Sword Qi was enough to change Wang Qing¡¯splexion.


    As Wang Qing was extremely startled, a figure flew out from the deepest part of the forbidden area and stood tall in the air.


    Seeing this figure, Wang Qing trembled all over and knelt on the ground, ¡°Invincible Sword Ancestor!¡±


    The person who appeared was none other than the Sword Ancestor, Ji Wudi!


    He was also the first invincible being to inscribe his name on the Celestial Burial Stele.


    Only after Ji Wudi¡¯s name came Jian Changkong¡¯s, followed by Sun Moon Holy King, Demon Sky Sword God, Green Lotus Sword Deity¡­


    Ji Wudi was the most ancient existence of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    He was also the strongest existence in the history of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Some said that Ji Wudi¡¯s strength had already surpassed the Celestial Burial Ancestor of old.


    However, 10,000 years ago, Ji Wudi suddenly disappeared and many thought he had left the Azure God Continent. But only Wang Qing knew that Ji Wudi had been in seclusion deep within the Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s forbidden grounds.


    Even Wang Qing had not expected that Ji Wudi, who had not emerged for ten thousand years, would appear at this moment.


    With his body full of Sword Qi, Ji Wudi did not look at Wang Qing; instead, he turned his gaze to the direction of Wangtian Peak with surprise, then shock, followed by disbelief.


    In the end, he looked utterly astonished and excited, ¡°A Divine Grade Golden Core!¡±


    A Divine Grade Golden Core!


    Wang Qing¡¯s mind was thunderstruck.


    He turned to look in the direction of Wangtian Peak.


    It was indeed a Divine Grade Golden Core!


    That meant his recent conjecture was not mistaken.<div>


    Someone had indeed condensed a Divine Grade Golden Core!


    After his astonishment, Wang Qing was trembling with excitement.


    After a million years, the Azure God Continent finally saw the emergence of a Divine Grade Golden Core once more!


    Suddenly, Ji Wudi let out a sky-piercing howl and transformed into a beam of sword light, speeding towards Wangtian Peak.<div>


    Wang Qing came to his senses and hurriedly followed.


    Meanwhile, one after another, the secluded peerless experts of the Celestial Burial Academy were alerted and flocked towards Wangtian Peak.


    And at Wangtian Peak, He Wei of the He Family looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s slowly rising Golden Core, trembling uncontrobly as if seized by fits, ¡°A Divine Grade Golden Core!¡±


    Many powerhouses ¡®plopped¡¯ down,nding squarely on their buttocks on the ground, looking at Yang Xiaotian in shock, as if he were an unspeakably terrifying existence.


    Some n experts couldn¡¯t help but prostrate themselves.


    Legendary tales of the Divine Grade Golden Core had been passed down since antiquity.


    That legend had finallye true.


    Right before their eyes.


    How could they not be excited, how could they not be shocked.


    Long Batian, Phoenix Lady, Mu Yunchun, and others found themselves breathless.


    Liang Lin, Chen Sha had long since copsed to the ground.


    ¡°Impossible! How could it be a Divine Grade Golden Core!¡± Wei Zongyuan suddenly screamed as if he¡¯d gone mad, ¡°It is impossible for a Divine Grade Golden Core to appear in the world again!¡±


    Clearly, he couldn¡¯t ept this oue.<div>


    He had condensed the ck Demon Golden Elixir; he was the hope of the Buddha Source Empire, the strongest the Buddha Source Empire would see in the future.


    ¡°Anything is possible in this world,¡± Xiaotian said and immediately after, a surging golden light roared out from inside him once again.


    The second Golden Core flew out of his body.


    When the second Golden Core emerged, the earth did not just shake.


    The entire Wangtian Peak was crumbling.


    Giant cracks appeared on the ground.


    Even the surrounding peaks cracked open, with fissures stretching from the top of the mountains to their base.


    All the waterfalls boiled.


    All the forests trembled.


    An overwhelming power swept across viciously.


    At that moment, it was as if everyone¡¯s souls had been ripped away, their eyes wide and minds nk, they stared at the second Golden Core.


    ¡°A second Divine Elixir!¡± The Green Lotus Sword Deity, having appeared in mid-air at some point, stared dumbfounded at Xiaotian¡¯s second Golden Core.


    A second Divine Elixir!<div>


    Some of the old ancestors who had not yet copsed to the ground also fell ¡°plop¡± to the ground en masse, some sitting directly on sharp rocks without realizing it.


    Ji Wudi, who had rushed from the forbidden depths, arrived halfway when he suddenly saw the golden light soar into the sky again, witnessing a second wave of Divine Light.


    He felt the crushing power of the second Divine Elixir.


    Ji Wudi was stunned.


    Wang Qing was stunned.


    ¡°Is the Azure God Continent about to see the ancient light once again?¡±


    ¡°After so many years, the Azure God Continent is finally going to witness the ancient light!¡±


    ¡°Is the Azure God Continent finally about to wee a new master?¡±


    Ji Wudi suddenly looked up tearfully at the sky.


    The position of master of the Azure God Continent had been vacant for far too long.


    The secluded, world-shunning supreme experts from the Celestial Burial Academy hurried over and watched Wangtian Peak, speaking excitedly and incoherently.


    ¡°Two Divine Grade Golden Cores!¡±


    ¡°Who on earth, who has condensed two Divine Grade Golden Cores!¡±<div>


    After his tearful outcry, Ji Wudi quickened his pace toward Wangtian Peak once more.


    Atop Wangtian Peak, Xiaotian stood there, like a god from ancient times, his two Divine Grade Golden Cores suppressing all of Heaven and Earth.


    Meanwhile, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s ck Demon Golden Elixir, under the suppression of the two Divine Grade Golden Cores, was already prostrate on the ground, unable to even rise.


    The boundless darkness from before had been burst through time and again, sted away without a trace.


    Xiaotian suddenly threw a punch.


    Instantly, the power of the two Divine Grade Golden Cores transformed into two vast golden oceans, roaring towards Wei Zongyuan.


    Wei Zongyuan looked terrified and shouted, ¡°ck Demon God!¡±


    Behind him, a dark deity shrouded in endless Demonic Qi faintly appeared.


    However, even the ck Demon God could not withstand the power of the two Divine Grade Golden Cores.


    What ck Demon God, it was instantly prated by the power of the two Divine Grade Golden Cores, sted into oblivion.


    Wei Zongyuan was also sted into the air, thrown higher and faster than before.


    With a thunderous boom, Wei Zongyuan was sted into the mountain wall of the opposite peak, then through it, hurtling deeper inside.


    Rocks exploded.


    Dust and sand whirled.


    The loud noise echoed on and on.


    The onlookers, witnessing the sted-open mountain wall, were so shocked they were left speechless for a long time.


    ¡°Defeated!¡± Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and others watched the opposite mountain peak, their mouths agape.


    Their young master, who possessed seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, who had condensed the fourth supreme-grade Golden Core, was still defeated! He didn¡¯t even get the chance to use the ny-nine thousand nine hundred years Soul Ring before he was vanquished.


    They could see that Wei Zongyuan had been sted unconscious on the opposite side, no longer able to continue the fight.

 Chapter 305: 305

    Chapter 305: 305


    ¡°`


    Not only Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and the others had not arrived, even the Demon Sky Sword God had not expected his disciple, Wei Zongyuan, to be defeated so utterly!


    Watching Yang Xiaotian stand there, unwavering like a mountain that propped up the heavens, the Demon Sky Sword God had aplex look in his eyes, filled with shock, excitement, envy, and even jealousy and killing intent.


    Intense killing intent.


    That¡¯s right, intense killing intent.


    Never before had he wanted to kill someone so much.


    However, just as the Demon Sky Sword God was harboring thoughts of murder, suddenly, there was a thunderous noise in the distant sky, and a sword light ripped through the air and came hurtling towards them.


    The speed of the sword light was so fast that even the Demon Sky Sword God was taken aback.


    The sword light stopped at Wangtian Peak.


    As the sword light faded, everyone looked on to see a young man appearing before them.<div>


    Many of the elders, including numerous sect ancestors, did not recognize the young man, but the Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s face changed dramatically when he saw the young man: ¡°Invincible Sir!¡±


    Invincible sir!


    Hearing the Demon Sky Sword God actually address the young man as sir,


    Everyone was startled.


    Invincible?


    Many ancestors shed a thought in their minds and suddenly thought of someone.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Invincible Sword Ancestor!¡± An elder trembled with excitement.


    ¡°What, the Invincible Sword Ancestor!¡± One sect ancestor after another was shocked; they finally knew who the young man was.


    The Invincible Sword Ancestor!


    Ji Wudi!


    He was acimed as the most powerful person in the history of the Celestial Burial Academy!


    And also the most stunning Sword Dao Ancestor the academy had ever seen.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Invincible Sword Ancestor!¡±


    ¡°The Invincible Sword Ancestor!¡±


    Several sect powerhouses could not help but kneel down excitedly.


    Long Batian, the Phoenix Lady, and others were also strongly shivering; no one expected to see the legendary Invincible Sword Ancestor, Ji Wudi, that day.


    On Wangtian Peak, powerhouses from various factions knelt down one after another.


    Even the elders from the Buddha Source Imperial Family bowed deeply.


    And so did the Peacock n Leader, Lan Tianchang.<div>


    As the Peacock n was the number one n in the Buddha Source Empire, and Lan Tianchang, as its leader, held a revered status, yet in front of Ji Wudi, he did not dare to act inappropriately.


    If we talk about seniority, Ji Wudi was two generations above him.


    Even the Demon Sky Sword God had topletely extinguish the killing intent in his heart, his heart pounding uncontrobly.


    Back when the Demon Sky Sword God entered the Celestial Burial Academy for training, he was just a little Martial Emperor, and Ji Wudi had already stepped into the realm of Divine Spirits.<div>


    So many years had passed, and he did not know what strength Ji Wudi now possessed,


    But it was undoubtedly unfathomable.


    Ji Wudi did not look at the crowd but gazed at Yang Xiaotian, looking at his two Divine Grade Golden Cores, and he moved forward excitedly, his voice gentle: ¡°Child, what is your name?¡±


    ¡°This junior¡¯s name is Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, bowing respectfully.


    Yang Xiaotian was equally surprised at the appearance of Ji Wudi.


    Ji Wudi, the first name on the Celestial Burial Stele.


    A man imed to be even stronger than the Celestial Burial Ancestor.


    How astonishing.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian,¡± Ji Wudi murmured, smiling: ¡°Good, what a good name!¡±


    A good name?


    It made Yang Xiaotian feel embarrassed.


    His own name was indeed very ordinary.


    Ji Wudi took Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, excited: ¡°Child, who is your master?¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated.


    Master?


    ¡°`


    He had not yet truly obtained the Heart of Azure God and was not considered a direct disciple of the Azure God; the only one who could be called his master was Divine Master Hong Feng.


    However, the name Divine Master Hong Feng was too shocking.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian hesitated over whether to speak, Ji Wudi smiled and said, ¡°If it¡¯s inconvenient, then don¡¯t worry about it. I was just asking casually.¡±


    Then, his gaze fell upon the Demon Sky Sword God as he spoke, ¡°So you are that little Demon Sky, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Probably in the whole Buddha Source Empire, only Ji Wudi dared to call the Sword God, Demon Sky, ¡®little¡¯.


    The Demon Sky Sword God dared not show any discontent; he stepped forward to fist-sped bow and said respectfully, ¡°The junior is indeed Demon Sky. I have seen the venerable Wudi.¡±


    Suddenly, Ji Wudi said, ¡°You just had a murderous intent, were you thinking of killing Xiaotian?¡±


    Everyone was startled and looked toward the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Demon Sky Sword God did not expect Ji Wudi to bring up the matter so directly.


    ¡°Venerable Wudi, I¡­¡± the Demon Sky Sword God stammered, trying to exin.<div>


    Ji Wudi interrupted, ¡°You don¡¯t need to exin.¡± He then surveyed the powerful masters around him and said, ¡°Since so many are present, let me be clear. From now on, Xiaotian will be the vice-chairman of our Celestial Burial Academy.¡±


    ¡°Whoever dares to kill Xiaotian is going against me and against the Celestial Burial Academy!¡±


    A tremor ran through everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Undoubtedly, Ji Wudi was announcing to those present that he was protecting Yang Xiaotian!


    Whoever dared to target Yang Xiaotian would have to think twice.


    Even the Demon Sky Sword God felt a chill in his heart upon hearing these words.


    No one dared to take Ji Wudi¡¯s words lightly.


    Ji Wudi then turned to Yang Xiaotian with a smile and asked, ¡°Xiaotian, do you have time toe and sit at my residence?¡±


    ¡°With the senior¡¯s invitation, this junior would respectfully follow your lead,¡± replied Yang Xiaotian respectfully.


    ¡°Good!¡± Ji Wudiughed heartily and then affectionately took Yang Xiaotian by the arm and flew towards his own dwelling.


    ¡°Do you drink?¡±


    ¡°A thousand years ago, I stashed away a lot of good liquor. You and I brother, let¡¯s have a good time drinking today.¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Ji Wudi and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figures gradually disappeared into the horizon.<div>


    Those watching Yang Xiaotian leave had mixed emotions, envy, excitement, admiration, jealousy, and even murderous thoughts.


    After Yang Xiaotian departed, people lingered for a long time, unwilling to leave.


    Many still contemted the invincible might of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two Divine Elixirs in their minds, feeling unsettled.


    As for Wei Zongyuan, he was dug out from the chaotic pile of rocks inside the mountain belly by Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and others. When Wei Zongyuan was pulled out, a terrifying fist imprint was visible on his ck Divine Armor.


    Liang Lin and the others were astonished at the sight.


    They were well aware of the defense of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s ck Divine Armor. Wei Zongyuan had once imed that as long as he wore the armor, no one in the Emperor Realm could breach its defenses.


    But now, it was shattered to such an extent by Yang Xiaotian.


    If that fist imprint had been any deeper, it might have pierced right through the armor.


    The Demon Sky Sword God looked at the unconscious Wei Zongyuan, sighed, and instructed Liang Lin and the others to carry him back.


    He looked in the direction Yang Xiaotian had gone, a sliver of coldness shing in his eyes.


    As time passed, the strong masters from all sides gradually left Wangtian Peak.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity also left.


    Mu Yunchun returned to Peach Blossom Peak to wait for Yang Xiaotian.


    On the way back from Wangtian Peak, Mu Yunchun¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t stop pounding.


    As night fell, the Celestial Burial Academy was extraordinarily lively.


    It had never been so bustling in its history.


    Almost everyone was talking about Yang Xiaotian, discussing his battle with Wei Zongyuan.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Wei Zongyuan wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to summon his Soul Ring before being sted into a dying dog!¡±


    ¡°What do you think, what kind of Soul Ring will Yang Xiaotian condense? Could it be the legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?¡±


    ¡°No one in Azure God Continent can condense a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring now, but maybe Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring really will be hundred-thousand-year!¡±


    The discussions continued without end.


    Everyone was curious, all specting whether Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring would be hundred-thousand-year.

 Chapter 306: 306: Eastern Desolate Sunset City

    Chapter 306: Eastern Deste Sunset City


    Yang Xiaotian was oblivious to the discussions outside.


    He had stayed in Ji Wudi¡¯s cave dwelling for two days and nights, drinking for the entire duration.


    The wine from Ji Wudi¡¯s collection had been stored for ten thousand years and its medicinal effects were much stronger than those of Li Zhengqing¡¯s Dragon Ganoderma Soup.


    So potent was the wine that it caused Yang Xiaotian¡¯s abnormal fire to run riot within him, smoke billowing from his body.


    Stepping out of Ji Wudi¡¯s cave dwelling, Yang Xiaotian heaved a great sigh of relief, as if he had survived a cmitous ordeal.


    Learning that Yang Xiaotian was returning to Medicine King Peak, Long Batian, Phoenix Lady and several others came out from a distance to greet him with deep bows.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian, their attitudes had significantly changed. There was increased respect, fear, and admiration. In the past two days, whenever they thought of the scene at Wangtian Peak where Yang Xiaotian consumed the two Divine Elixirs, they felt uncontrobly excited, and even proud.


    Indeed, they felt proud to be able to follow Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Young Master, you¡¯ve returned,¡± said Phoenix Lady with tender affection, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.


    If one were to talk about beauty, Phoenix Lady was on par with Mu Yunchun, and in terms of status, as the daughter of the n Leader of the Phoenix n, she even surpassed Mu Yunchun.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and asked the four, ¡°Has anything happened these past two days?¡±


    Long Batian quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying, ¡°During these two days, everyone in the academy has been discussing Young Master¡¯s battle with Wei Zongyuan, and many are specting about Young Master¡¯s soul ring.¡±


    Phoenix Lady smiled and said, ¡°Now everyone is curious about Young Master¡¯s soul ring. Many are guessing that Young Master¡¯s soul ring could possibly be the legendary one hundred thousand-year soul ring.¡± After speaking, she gazed intently at Yang Xiaotian.


    Long Batian, Li Yutian, and Shi Huang also looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    They were equally curious to know whether Yang Xiaotian¡¯s soul ring was indeed one hundred thousand years old.


    ¡°One hundred thousand-year soul ring?¡± Yang Xiaotianughed, and seeing the curious expressions on the faces of Phoenix Lady and Long Batian, he said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ll have the chance to see it in the future.¡±


    At that moment, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor stepped forward and said, ¡°Young Master, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God has been located in Redemption Land, most likely on Thousand Demon Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Thousand Demon Mountain?¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Redemption Land was a ce of exile for the sinful in the Buddha Source, and Thousand Demon Mountain was the most chaotic spot in Redemption Land, with nearly all the great demons gathering there.


    ¡°Yes, on the chief peak of Thousand Demon Mountain,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor added.


    ¡°Alright, I understand,¡± Yang Xiaotian immediately said and handed over a sacred grade elixir to the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was overjoyed and thanked Yang Xiaotian profusely.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian settled down at Medicine King Peak.


    He nned to head to the Mu Family in the Eastern Deste the next day.


    Following that, he would enter Redemption Land to search for the cave dwelling of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.


    That night, Yang Xiaotian took out the Azure God Sword Technique secret tome and carefully began to read it.


    After going through it once, Yang Xiaotian closed his eyes to recall the details, making sure he had memorized it before starting to review it from beginning to end for a second time.


    Only after that did Yang Xiaotian take out the Sword of Azure God to practice the Azure God Sword Technique.


    However, as he channeled his True Yuan into the sword and executed the first move ¡°All Things Have Spirits¡± of the sword technique, suddenly, fine cracks appeared on the de of the Sword of Azure God.<div>


    Seeing the cracks on the de of the Sword of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian was dumbstruck. Oh my god, could it be?!


    The Sword of Azure God, like his Burying Heaven Sword, turned out to be a damaged sword?


    Yang Xiaotian felt the urge to ram himself into a mountain.


    The Azure Thunder Python and Iceme Qilin came over and, upon seeing the cracks on the Sword of Azure God, they were speechless too.<div>


    ¡°The Sword of Azure God can be repaired, but it requires Innate Divine Iron,¡± said the Iceme Qilin. ¡°It will also need to be reforged with a Divine me.¡±


    Divine me, Yang Xiaotian possessed it; thus, what wascking now was the Innate Divine Iron.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly. He was still on the lookout for Innate Fine Iron; where was he to find Innate Divine Iron, which was even rarer and more precious?


    ¡°The Dwarf n of the Hundred n Empire should have Innate Divine Iron,¡± the Azure Thunder Python pondered. ¡°It¡¯s just unknown whether the ancestors of the Dwarf n would be willing to part with it.¡±


    The Hundred n Empire, huh?


    ¡°`


    It seems, a visit to the Hundred n Empire is indeed necessary.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian discovered that cracks only appeared on the de of the Sword of Azure God when he infused it with his True Yuan. Under normal circumstances, there were no visible cracks on the sword¡¯s de.


    It seems that the damage to the Sword of Azure God is much less than that to the Burying Heaven Sword.


    In ordinary conditions, the Sword of Azure God can still be used to practice the Azure God Sword Technique, but it shouldn¡¯t be used inbat. Should it withstand an opponent¡¯s strikes, the cracks in the de might widen.


    Hence, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice the Azure God Sword Technique using the Sword of Azure God.


    After practicing the Azure God Sword Technique for a while, it was deep into the night.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.<div>


    A night passed.


    The next day, Mu Yunchun came early to find Yang Xiaotian.


    Today, Mu Yunchun wore a pale red dress, which made her even more charming. Her skin was so delicate it seemed like water could be wrung out of it.


    Mu Yunchun walked towards Yang Xiaotian, swaying her round buttocks.


    Swinging left.


    Swinging right.


    Her waist was so slim, it looked as though it might break.


    She gazed at Yang Xiaotian with eyes more alluring than those of the Phoenix Lady.


    A short whileter, Yang Xiaotian left Celestial Burial Academy on the Mu Family¡¯s airship to head for the Eastern Deste.


    As Yang Xiaotian was leaving for the Eastern Deste, at Sword God Peak of Celestial Burial Academy, Wei Zongyuan stood respectfully before Demon Sky Sword God, bowing deeply: ¡°Master, rest assured!¡±


    ¡°I will definitely cultivate the Unmoving King Sword Body to perfection!¡±


    ¡°I will definitely evolve my Soul Ring to a hundred thousand years!¡±


    ¡°I will definitely defeat Yang Xiaotian!¡±<div>


    Wei Zongyuan¡¯s words were resolute and emphatic.


    An ancient secret technique exists that can evolve a Soul Ring, which is infinitely close to a hundred thousand years, to the full hundred thousand years.


    Of course, the conditions are extremely stringent, and evolving is incredibly difficult, nearly a nine-in-ten chance of death.


    Demon Sky Sword God looked at Wei Zongyuan¡¯s determined eyes and spoke with approval: ¡°Master believes in you.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow, you will apany me to the Buddha Source for cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Ten dayster.


    Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun arrived in the Eastern Deste.


    ¡°Little brother, that¡¯s Sunset City up ahead,¡± Mu Yunchun pointed at the towering city in the distance.


    She stood close to Yang Xiaotian, strands of her captivating scent wafting into his nostrils.


    It tickled.


    During these ten days, the two had frequent contact on the ship and had grown quite familiar with each other.


    Mu Yunchun often came to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s room to brew peach blossom tea for no particr reason.<div>


    Now, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body smelled like peach blossom tea.


    ¡°Sunset City is thergest trading city in the Eastern Deste and is also one of thergest trading cities in the Buddha Source Empire,¡± Mu Yunchun continued. ¡°Many super chambers ofmerce established by our Buddha Source Empire have branches in Sunset City.¡±


    ¡°Beyond Sunset City, to the east, is our Mu Family¡¯s Mu City.¡±


    ¡°Oh, one of thergest trading cities in the Buddha Source Empire,¡± Yang Xiaotian mused, asking, ¡°I wonder if they have Dark Night Dew, Master Tianxian, Octagon ze, or any other materials?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian listed several dozen medicinal ingredients.


    The blood of Abyssal Masters can be used to refine Soul Pills, which, when consumed during cultivation, can enhance Soul Power. However, the blood of Abyssal Masters alone is not enough to refine Soul Pills; dozens of other rare medicinal ingredients he just mentioned are also needed.

 Chapter 307: 307: The Buddha Son and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess

    Chapter 307: The Buddha Son and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess


    Mu Yunchun was leftpletely dumbfounded.


    ¡°Does little brother need so many herbs for alchemy?¡± she asked.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t realize that little brother is also an alchemist,¡± Mu Yunchun said with a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°My alchemy is pretty good.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Mu Yunchun¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°is little brother a four-star alchemist?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°One-star.¡±


    Mu Yunchun was speechless.


    But Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t lied to her; he really was a one-star alchemist right now.


    Ever since he participated in the Alchemist Assessment in the Divine Sea Country and passed the one-star alchemist certification, he hadn¡¯t taken part in the assessments for two-star, three-star, or four-star alchemists.<div>


    The two chatted as they walked into Sunset City.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor followed behind Yang Xiaotian.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian had only brought the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor with him to the Eastern Deste.


    ¡°Maybe little brother could participate in the Pharmacist Competition in Buddha Source,¡± Mu Yunchun suggested, ¡°In a few days¡¯ time, the Buddha Source is going to hold a Pharmacist Competition in Ten Thousand Buddhas City.¡±


    ¡°A Pharmacist Competition?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    Mu Yunchun nodded, ¡°The Pharmacist Competition that takes ce every ten years in the Buddha Source, held in Ten Thousand Buddhas City, has very generous rewards. The top ten prizes include twenty Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pills of the highest quality, as well as Alchemy Secret Manuals and many manuscripts from great alchemy masters.¡±


    ¡°And many top-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t wait for Mu Yunchun to finish, shaking his head to express hisck of interest.


    As for the Pharmacist Competition of the Buddha Source Empire, he truly wasn¡¯t interested.


    Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pills?


    He already had more Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pills than he could use.


    As for Alchemy Secret Manuals, manuscripts from great alchemy masters, and top-grade Spirit Stones, he was even less in need.


    Previously, in the Hell Abyss, he found the Space Rings of those dozen or so Divine Spirits, which contained many Alchemy Secret Manuals.


    Moreover, he had many Alchemy Secret Manuals left behind by Hong Feng.


    He had more Alchemy Secret Manuals than he could ever read.


    After entering Sunset City, Mu Yunchun led Yang Xiaotian toward thergest tradingpany in the city.


    Once Mu Yunchun showed the token from the Mu Family, the manager of the tradingpany warmly weed the three of them.


    Yang Xiaotian handed over his list of herbs to buy to the manager.


    In the list of herbs, apart from the ingredients for refining Soul Pills, there were also ingredients for refining Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills.<div>


    The Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was an elixir even more advanced than the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    Now that he had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, he could ingest Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills for cultivation.


    Looking at the dense list of herbs, thepany¡¯s manager was a bit stunned.


    However, what surprised Yang Xiaotian was that this tradingpany had all the herbs he wanted to purchase, albeit at a slightly higher price than the market rate.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t mind the higher prices and promptly paid before buying all the herbs he needed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t suppose yourpany has any Innate Fine Iron?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked suddenly as he was about to leave the tradingpany.


    The manager was taken aback and said they didn¡¯t have any.


    ¡°Little brother is looking to buy Innate Fine Iron?¡± Mu Yunchun said, somewhat surprised, and then added, ¡°It seems our Mu Family¡¯s treasury has a piece.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    The Innate Fine Iron he had been searching for painstakingly over the years was actually in the Mu Family¡¯s treasury.


    Surprised at first, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but feel overjoyed.


    If that was the case, the Burying Heaven Sword could be repaired.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian, Mu Yunchun, and the third person stepped out of the tradingpany, they saw a crowd rushing towards the front, brimming with excitement andmotion.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Tathagata Buddha Son and Divine Spirit Yao Qingxue!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve arrived at Sunset City!¡±


    As soon as the voice rang out, the entire street erupted.


    Hearing the crowd¡¯s turbulent cheers for the Buddha Son, Mu Yunchun was also amazed, ¡°The Buddha Son!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian saw the astonishment on Mu Yunchun¡¯s face and asked, ¡°The Buddha Son?¡±


    Mu Yunchun exined, ¡°The Buddha Son Tang Huan is the most talented student in the history of Buddha Source Academy. Before you, he was known as the number one youth of the Buddha Source Empire.¡±


    ¡°Many people feel that his talent and strength are even higher than Wei Zongyuan¡¯s.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°Higher than Wei Zongyuan?¡±


    After all, Wei Zongyuan possessed the ck Demon Golden Elixir, seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, a ny-nine-thousand-year Soul Ring, and he also cultivated the Peacock n¡¯s Majestic Immovable Sword Body.


    Mu Yunchun looked in the direction where the crowd was heading and said, ¡°He was born with the Tathagata Buddha Body!¡±


    ¡°The Tathagata Buddha Body!¡± Yang Xiaotian was greatly shocked.


    The Tathagata Buddha Body, known as one of the ten strongest Buddha bodies since ancient times.


    Even in the ancient eras, the Tathagata Buddha Body was one of the strongest and most domineering constitutions.


    Wherever the Tathagata Buddha Body went, myriad evils would retreat, myriad demons would prostrate themselves, and myriad ghosts would vanish.


    This Buddha Son Tang Huan was actually born with the Tathagata Buddha Body.


    Then, Mu Yunchun continued, ¡°Not only was he born with the Tathagata Buddha Body, but he also naturally possesses the Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body.¡±


    The Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body!<div>


    A special constitution not inferior to the Tathagata Buddha Body.


    Yang Xiaotian was astounded.


    Tang Huan was naturally born with two special constitutions, no wonder he is considered to have higher talent than Wei Zongyuan.


    The Tathagata Buddha Body, the Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body, either of these special constitutions would be remarkable by itself, let alone having both at the same time.


    This was somewhat simr to his dual-life Supreme Martial Spirit.


    ¡°Yao Qingxue, on the other hand, is considered the number one beauty of the Buddha Source Empire,¡± Mu Yunchun said, his tone a touch sour.


    Yang Xiaotian blinked, ¡°Could she be more beautiful than Sister?¡±


    Mu Yunchun was amused by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression andughed, ¡°She is indeed very beautiful, so ethereal that she doesn¡¯t seem of this world. Her talent is also monstrously high, she is the Holy Goddess of the Heavenly Dragon Temple in Buddha Source, and the only Goddess recognized by everyone in the Buddha Source Empire.¡±


    There are a million temples in Buddha Source, the Heavenly Dragon Temple being the first among them, with the most disciples and the strongest power, and it is also the leader of the million Buddha temples in Buddha Source.


    Yao Qingxue is the Holy Goddess of the Heavenly Dragon Temple and, by extension, the Goddess of the entire Buddha Source.


    Such a status was astonishing.


    ¡°What are the Buddha Son and Yao Qingxue doing in the Eastern Deste?¡± Mu Yunchun wondered.


    It would be unlikely for Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue toe to the Eastern Deste without reason.<div>


    The simultaneous appearance of the two in Sunset City definitely meant they were here for some purpose.


    Just then, a procession of numerous Sect experts was seen escorting a young man and woman walking down the distant street.


    The man was exceptionally handsome, dressed in a spotless white robe, while the woman was indescribably beautiful, just as Mu Yunchun had described, too beautiful to seem of this world.


    Mu Yunchun, as a supreme beauty herself, still fell short whenpared to Yao Qingxue.


    Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue were both riding Unicorns.


    The Unicorn is a kind of bright Divine Beast, not something anyone could just ride upon.


    Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue, riding on Unicorns, paced slowly, talking andughing merrily as if they were figures from a painting.


    The two didn¡¯t pay any attention to Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun by the roadside, and continued their journey surrounded by the crowd.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go as well,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Mu Yunchun.


    The three left Sunset City, heading towards Mu City of the Mu Family.


    As Yang Xiaotian was heading towards Mu City of the Mu Family, Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue were discussing the True God Flying Ship belonging to the Mu Family.


    ¡°Although that True God Flying Ship is damaged, the Mu Family is unlikely to agree to give it to us,¡± Yao Qingxue shook her head.


    The reason for their visit to the Eastern Deste was precisely for the True God Flying Ship of the Mu Family.

 Chapter 308: 308: Single-handedly Battling 3000 Emperors

    Chapter 308: Single-handedly Battling 3000 Emperors


    Tang Huanughed and said, ¡°Though the Mu Family is powerful in the Eastern Deste, no matter how vast their power may be, they wouldn¡¯t dare to offend all of Buddha Source.¡±


    ¡°If they dared to offend the whole of Buddha Source, that would be a death wish!¡±


    ¡°That True God Flying Ship is so damaged, it¡¯s practically useless in their hands.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they will end up giving that True God Flying Ship to us.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yao Qingxue nodded and then said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Earth me to appear!¡±


    She knew that these past years, Tang Huan had been searching for the Earth me.


    To tame the Earth me.


    Tang Huan¡¯s eyes were as deep as the ocean, ¡°Yes, the Earth me has appeared!¡±


    And it was within a young boy named Yang Xiaotian.


    Two Divine Elixirs?<div>


    The battle between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan had already spread to Buddha Source.


    The million disciples of Buddha Source¡¯s countless temples and the tens of millions of students at Buddha Source Academy were all astonished.


    Even when Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue heard the news, they were also greatly shocked.


    Both considered themselves to have unparalleled talents, but upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian possessed two Divine Elixirs, they were choked with disbelief.


    ¡°Nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts! To condense two Divine Elixirs and also possess the Earth me!¡± Every time Yao Qingxue mentioned one, her heart trembled, ¡°This Yang Xiaotian, could he be some kind of monster, or perhaps a reincarnation of a Heavenly God?¡±


    Heavenly God!


    A heavy weight seemed to press upon Tang Huan¡¯s heart, as if a mountain bore down on him.


    His eyes sparkled, ¡°Given the chance, I¡¯d like to exchange blows with this Yang Xiaotian and test if his two Divine Elixirs truly are invincible!¡±


    Ever since the fight between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan became known, many now say that ¡°Yang Xiaotian fought alone against Emperor Sanqian, his palms sweeping across thirteen continents!¡±


    What glory and invincibility he must possess to be worthy of such praise.


    Even Tang Huan, who has the Tathagata Buddha Body and the Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body, has never been so praised or esteemed.


    ¡°He possesses the Earth me, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me ¨C will he participate in this Buddha Source Pharmacistpetition?¡± Yao Qingxue asked.


    Tang Huan had already signed up for this Pharmacistpetition of Buddha Source.


    Before Yang Xiaotian, not only was Tang Huan considered the number one person in Martial Dao Talent in Buddha Source, but also the number one in Alchemy Talent.


    Originally, many had believed that Tang Huan was sure to win first ce in the Buddha Source Pharmacistpetition, but once the news spread that Yang Xiaotian had the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, many changed their tune, suggesting that if Yang Xiaotian participated, he would certainly take first ce.


    Tang Huan¡¯s gaze hardened, ¡°I hope he participates.¡±


    All these years, he had been seeking someone to defeat him, but among his peers, no one had been able to best him.


    Whether it was in Martial Dao or the Medicine Path, no one could best him.


    Standing at the pinnacle was profoundly lonely.<div>


    Thus, he hoped topare both Medicine Path and Martial Dao with Yang Xiaotian.


    As evening approached,


    Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun arrived at Mu City.


    Since Yang Xiaotian did not wish to rm everyone, coupled with the need to keep the Mu Family old master¡¯s mysterious illness a secret, this visit to Mu City was not made known, even to the disciples of the Mu Family.<div>


    Otherwise, given Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current status, his arrival in Mu City might have caused countless family disciples to vie to wee him.


    Mu Yunchun apanied Yang Xiaotian into Mu City.


    Mu City was vast, with almost all theings and goings dominated by Mu Family disciples, along with many other businesses and Sect Disciples.


    The many passing Mu Family disciples greeted Mu Yunchun with respect.


    At the same time, they were very curious about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity.


    You should know that Mu Yunchun is the daughter of the Mu Family¡¯s Patriarch, and they have never seen her so close to any man.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian is still just a young boy.


    However, just as Mu Yunchun had brought Yang Xiaotian into the Mu residence, they were stopped by her second uncle¡¯s son, Mu Fei.


    ¡°Mu Yunchun, who is this boy? Haven¡¯t you forgotten the family rules? Family disciples are not allowed to bring outsiders into the Mu residence,¡± Mu Fei said.


    Mu Yunchun replied sternly, ¡°Young Master Yang is an honored guest invited by Grandfather.¡±


    ¡°An honored guest invited by Grandfather?¡± Upon hearing this, Mu Fei let out a derisiveugh, ¡°Would Grandfather invite this milk-nosed child?¡±


    He nced up and down at Yang Xiaotian, clearly disbelieving.


    ¡°Move aside!¡± Mu Yunchunmanded, ¡°If anything happens, you won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences!¡±<div>


    Mu Fei, who had always looked down on his cousin, replied with a cold sneer, ¡°I won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences? What if I don¡¯t move aside?¡±


    At this point, he pointed at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°No one will be taking this boy into the Mu residence today.¡±


    ¡°What if it¡¯s me?¡± At that moment, amanding voice sounded.


    Arge-framed, middle-aged man with a few whiskers on his face walked out from the residence.


    Seeing the middle-aged man, Mu Yunchun¡¯s pretty face lit up with joy, ¡°Father!¡±


    The man was none other than Mu Haodong, the current Patriarch of the Mu Family.


    Mu Haodong nodded with a smile, looking at Mu Fei, ¡°Do you mean to say that not even I can bring Young Master Yang into the Mu residence?¡±


    Mu Fei, frightened, bent over to bow, saying with a smile, ¡°Uncle is joking. Mu Fei was merely considering the safety of the Mu residence earlier.¡±


    Mu Haodong did not pay attention to his nephew Mu Fei, but turned his head and said to Yang Xiaotian with a sped-fist smile, ¡°Young Master Yang, the Mu Family has been negligent, please do not take offense.¡±


    This time, Mu Haodong was aware of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s visit to the Mu Family.


    ¡°Mu Family Patriarch is too polite,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied with a sped-fist smile.


    ¡°Young Master Yang, please.¡±


    Afterward, Mu Haodong very courteously ushered Yang Xiaotian into the Mu residence.<div>


    Mu Fei watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure with astonishment and disbelief.


    After passing throughyers of corridors and rockery pavilions, in the deepest part of the Mu residence, Yang Xiaotian finally met Mu Yunchun¡¯s grandfather, Mu Xinyang.


    It was the hot weather at the time, but inside the secret chamber, Mu Xinyang¡¯s body was emitting cold air, and the entire secret chamber was covered with thick ice.


    Even Mu Haodong only dared to approach the entrance of the secret chamber, not venturing deep inside.


    ¡°Father, Young Master Yang has arrived,¡± he said with respect.


    Trembling from the icy chill and covered in ck frost, Mu Xinyang spoke, ¡°Good! Old man¡¯s peculiar chill poison will trouble Young Master Yang, and if you can cure the peculiar chill poison in my body, I and the whole Mu Family will be endlessly grateful!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°Senior is being too courteous.¡± Then he said, ¡°Sister Yunchun mentioned that if I can cure the peculiar chill poison, I am allowed to pick three treasures from the Mu Family¡¯s treasure vault, isn¡¯t that right?¡±


    ¡°Naturally,¡± Mu Xinyang promised.


    So, Yang Xiaotian walked into the depths of the secret chamber, while Mu Haodong and Mu Yunchun waited outside.


    Yang Xiaotian came to Mu Xinyang¡¯s side and directly summoned the Earth me.


    While Yang Xiaotian was dispelling the peculiar chill poison from Mu Xinyang¡¯s body, Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue also arrived at Mu City.


    The arrival of the Tathagata Buddha Son and Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess in Mu City naturally caused the city to be abuzz with excitement.


    Mu Fei was especially excited as he led the Mu Family disciples to wee them.<div>


    Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue were weed into the Mu residence amidst the excitement, reverence, and admiration of the Mu Family disciples.


    Receiving Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue was Mu Yunchun¡¯s second uncle, Mu Hui, who was also Mu Fei¡¯s father.


    After sitting down and exchanging pleasantries, Tang Huan stated their purpose, ¡°I¡¯ll be frank with Senior Mu Hui, we havee to ask for a favor,¡± and then said, ¡°We have heard that the Mu Family¡¯s treasure vault holds a damaged True God Flying Ship?¡±


    After finishing his words, he took out an item and continued, ¡°We would like to exchange this item for that damaged True God Flying Ship, would that be possible?¡±

 Chapter 309: 309: Offending Buddha Source?

    Chapter 309: Offending Buddha Source?


    Mu Hui saw the object in Tang Huan¡¯s hand and eximed in shock, ¡°Heavenly Buddha Bead!¡±


    The Heavenly Buddha Bead was once refined by the top expert of the Buddha Source, the Heavenly Buddha himself.


    It is said that Lord Heavenly Buddha left two Heavenly Buddha Beads, but one fell into a demon¡¯sir in the Redemption Land, so now only one remains.


    And that one is in Tang Huan¡¯s hands right now.


    The value of this Heavenly Buddha Bead is, needless to say, immense.


    Mu Hui never expected Tang Huan to be willing to exchange the Heavenly Buddha Bead for that damaged True God Flying Ship.


    ¡°Indeed, a Heavenly Buddha Bead,¡± Tang Huan said, ¡°This Heavenly Buddha Bead is the only one left in the world.¡± Then, he took out another item and continued, ¡°It¡¯s heard that the Mu Family¡¯s treasury possesses a piece of Innate Fine Iron, which we also wish to exchange for with this item.¡±


    ¡°Innate Buddha Stone!¡± Mu Hui, seeing the object in Tang Huan¡¯s hand, eximed in amazement.


    The value of the Innate Buddha Stone is no less than that of the Heavenly Buddha Bead.


    Tang Huan said with a smile, ¡°Correct, this piece of Innate Buddha Stone was also used by Lord Heavenly Buddha back in the day.¡± Then he sped his fists and said, ¡°We originally intended to exchange the Heavenly Buddha Bead and this Innate Buddha Stone for the damaged True God Flying Ship and the piece of Innate Fine Iron, and we hope the Mu Family would be willing to part with them. We would be immensely grateful.¡±<div>


    Mu Hui hesitated and said, ¡°Buddha Son, Goddess, this matter requires our n leader¡¯s decision.¡±


    ¡°Of course,¡± Tang Huan replied with a smile.


    Mu Hui smiled back, ¡°Buddha Son and Goddess, rest assured, there should be no problem.¡±


    He then sent someone to fetch his older brother, Mu Haodong.


    Mu Haodong was surprised and caught off guard to learn that Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue hade to the Mu Residence.


    When he found out that Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue hade for the True God Flying Ship and the Innate Fine Iron, he couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, knowing from his daughter that Yang Xiaotian had alsoe for the same True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron.


    After some contemtion, Mu Haodong and Mu Yunchun still came out to meet Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue.


    After the pleasantries, Mu Haodong said with difficulty, ¡°Buddha Son, Goddess, I¡¯m sorry, but the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron have already been given to someone else.¡±


    Tang Huan¡¯s originally confident smile froze.


    Even Yao Qingxue¡¯s usually calm and collected expression furrowed slightly.


    Tang Huan stared at Mu Haodong: ¡°n Leader Mu, have the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron truly been given to someone else?¡±


    Obviously, he didn¡¯t believe it.


    Mu Haodong nodded and said, ¡°I don¡¯t wish to mislead the Buddha Son and Goddess, the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron have indeed been given to someone else.¡±


    ¡°May I know to whom n Leader Mu has given them?¡± Tang Huan pressed on.


    Mu Haodong hesitated, uncertain how to respond for a moment.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity was a sensitive matter, and without Yang Xiaotian¡¯s consent, he was hesitant to reveal it.


    Seeing Mu Haodong hesitate, Tang Huan¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°n Leader Mu, have you considered the consequences of offending the Buddha Source Empire?¡±


    Mu Haodong, Mu Hui, Mu Yunchun, and the present Mu Family experts all changed their expressions, and Mu Haodong was about to speak with anger on his face when suddenly, a voice rang out: ¡°n Leader Mu has given the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron to me.¡±


    Everyone turned to look and saw Yang Xiaotian and Mu Xinyang walking out.<div>


    Thanks to the Earth me, the strange cold poison in Mu Xinyang¡¯s body had beenpletely dispelled after some healing.


    Mu Xinyang looked radiant and full of life.


    ¡°Father!¡± Mu Hui couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed to see that Mu Xinyang was well.


    Upon seeing Mu Xinyang appear, everyone present quickly stood up to greet him.<div>


    Even Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue hurriedly stood up.


    Mu Xinyang said to Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue, ¡°Buddha Son, Goddess, the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron have indeed been given to this young friend.¡±


    Seeing that even Mu Xinyang said so, Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue¡¯s gazes fell upon Yang Xiaotian.


    The two looked at Yang Xiaotian, uncertainty shing in their eyes.


    Tang Huan spoke, ¡°May I know how the young brother is called? I am willing to exchange the Heavenly Buddha Bead and the Innate Buddha Stone for your True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t need the Heavenly Buddha Bead and the Innate Buddha Stone.¡±


    ¡°Then what does the young brother need?¡± Tang Huan asked in a grave voice.


    ¡°No matter what you give me, I won¡¯t exchange,¡± Yang Xiaotian dered tly.


    If that True God Flying Ship were repaired, its benefits to him goes without saying.


    Tang Huan¡¯s expression began to sour.


    Yao Qingxue¡¯s did as well.


    The two had thought that uponing to the Mu Family with the Heavenly Buddha Bead and the Innate Buddha Stone, they would surely be able to exchange for the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron, but they hadn¡¯t expected the Mu Family to have given them to this young man.


    Now, this young man was also rejecting them with righteous and outspoken words.<div>


    ¡°Does the young brother know our identities?¡± Tang Huan couldn¡¯t help but feel some anger.


    Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, ¡°Whatever identity you have, it¡¯s irrelevant to me, and I have no interest in knowing.¡±


    Both Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue had unsightly expressions.


    ¡°How audacious, boy, what status do we Buddha Sons have!¡± a master behind Tang Huan bellowed angrily: ¡°For our Buddha Son to exchange items with you, that is fortune and blessing that you¡¯ve cultivated over three lifetimes!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian let out a coldugh, ¡°So you say, the Buddha Sons want to exchange for anything in the world because they deem others worthy? Then why don¡¯t your Buddha Sons use the Heavenly Buddha Bead and the Innate Buddha Stone to exchange for the Buddha Dragon Tower of the Buddha Source Imperial Family!¡±


    The Buddha Dragon Tower was a Divine Artifact of the Buddha Source Imperial Family.


    It was also the strongest Divine Artifact of the Buddha Source Empire.


    The master behind Tang Huan flew into a rage, ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± At this point, his whole body erupted with Sword Qi.


    Seeing this, Mu Xinyang spoke up, ¡°Buddha Son, please hold your temper, this young friend is an honored guest of my Mu Family.¡±


    Tang Huan blocked the masters behind him and gave Mu Xinyang a fist salute, ¡°It was the fault of my subordinates.¡± Then he said his goodbyes to Mu Xinyang and the others and left.


    Before leaving, he was still reluctant to give up and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°That True God Flying Ship is broken beyond repair, useless in your hands, for you cannot fix it. Are you truly willing to offend the Buddha Source for a broken True God Flying Ship?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied nonchntly, ¡°Speak again when you control the Buddha Source.¡±


    Tang Huan¡¯s face showed shifting shades.<div>


    Eventually, Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue left with their subordinates.


    After departing from the Mu residence, Tang Huan felt a stifling anger in his chest. As the Buddha Son of the Buddha Source Academy, his requests had always been fulfilled, no one would oppose him, yet today, he was disregarded by a young man.


    ¡°Find out who this young man is!¡± Tang Huan¡¯s eyes were filled with a cold intent.


    He was very eager to know the identity of the young man who had defied him.


    ¡°Rest assured, Buddha Son, I will certainly find out who this youngster is!¡± the master behind him stated coldly: ¡°And then have his n Leader bring him to kneel before you, to apologize.¡±


    ¡°And to obediently hand over the True God Flying Ship and the Innate Fine Iron to the Buddha Son!¡±


    Tang Huan¡¯s face looked a bit better as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to Eastern Deste City!¡±


    Eastern Deste City is the foremost city of the Eastern Deste, under the Buddha Source Imperial Family. Recently, the City Lord of Eastern Deste City made a breakthrough to the Divine Spirit realm, which was a significant event for the Buddha Source Empire.


    It was precisely toply with their master¡¯smand, to go to Eastern Deste City and congratte the City Lord, that Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue came to the Eastern Deste.


    This was also one of their main objectives for this trip to the Eastern Deste.


    While Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue were en route to Eastern Deste City, Yang Xiaotian stayed in Mu City, in a pce arranged by the Mu Family, beginning to repair the True God Flying Ship.

 Chapter 310: 310: Eastern Desolate City

    Chapter 310: Eastern Deste City


    ¡°`


    Repairing a True God Flying Ship is very difficult.


    The key issue is that it requires too many divine materials.


    Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian had acquired enough divine materials from the Hell Abyss.


    Under the burning of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, piece by piece, the divine materials continuously melted into the flying ship.


    The broken parts of the flying ship were visibly repairing at a rapid pace.


    One dayter, finally, all the damaged parts of the flying ship werepletely repaired.


    Yang Xiaotian put it back into the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron and threw in arge piece of the Abyssal Master¡¯s skin and bone to smelt it again.


    Over a dozen hours passed.


    When the flying ship emerged from the cauldron once more, it radiated intense light, Divine Light reemerged, as if reborn.<div>


    Looking at the flying ship that had fused with the skin of the Abyssal Master, Yang Xiaotian felt joy in his heart.


    After integrating parts of the Abyssal Master¡¯s skin and bone, this True God Flying Ship undoubtedly became much more powerful; not only was its defense stronger, but it could also withstand the soul attacks of enemies.


    ¡°From now on, let¡¯s call it the Abyssal Spaceship,¡± said Yang Xiaotian.


    The whole flying ship had undergone major changes in appearance after merging with the skin and bones of the Abyssal Master, so it was no longer appropriate to call it by its previous name.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian named it Abyssal Spaceship.


    The Abyssal Spaceship before him, emanating the boundless hellish aura of the Abyssal Master, pleased Yang Xiaotian the more he looked at it.


    At that moment, footsteps were heard, and Yang Xiaotian stowed away the Abyssal Spaceship.


    Then, he saw Mu Yunchun approaching.


    Mu Yunchun, having changed her usual attire for the day, wore a light green dress, radiating a charm that mixed innocence with allure, yet no matter what she wore, it hardly concealed her voluptuous front and shapely, pert behind.


    She swayed into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s courtyard, swinging her hips.


    ¡°Little brother, the City Lord of Eastern Deste City has broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm. My father ns to take me there, and he asked me toe and see if you are avable. If you are, we could go together,¡± Mu Yunchun said, with her coquettish eyes full of anticipation.


    ¡°To Eastern Deste City?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    Mu Yunchun nodded, exining, ¡°The City Lord of Eastern Deste City is subordinate to the Buddha Source Imperial Family. His breakthrough to the Divine Spirit Realm is a big event for the Buddha Source Empire, and many superpowers will be going to offer their congrattions.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s thoughts stirred, ¡°Has anyone from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect gone?¡±


    Mu Yunchun was taken aback.


    She didn¡¯t know why Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked about the people of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    When Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was mentioned, Mu Yunchun expressed reverence and shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°When do you n to set off?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s heart surged with hope upon hearing that, ¡°We will depart in an hour.¡±<div>


    ¡°Good, then in one hour, I will go with you to Eastern Deste City,¡± Yang Xiaotian decided after some thought.


    ¡°Great, I¡¯lle by to get youter.¡± Mu Yunchun¡¯s cute face beamed with joy, and she left with a twist of her hips.


    After Mu Yunchun left, Yang Xiaotian practiced the forty-sixth move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique in the courtyard.


    Now that his ck Dragon Martial Spirit had fused nearly two million years¡¯ worth of the Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master, he was not in a rush to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Roc in the Soul Sea.<div>


    After all, before he made a breakthrough to the secondyer of Martial Emperor, fusing with the Demon Roc Beast Soul would suffice, which was why he nned to take a trip to Eastern Deste City, hoping to encounter people from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    After practising the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique for a while, Mu Yunchun and Mu Haodong came over to fetch Yang Xiaotian, and together they set off towards Eastern Deste City.


    Mu Haodong was delighted that Yang Xiaotian was apanying them on the trip to Eastern Deste City, grinning from ear to ear all the way.


    The group traveled by the Mu Family¡¯s flying ship, which was not very crowded. In addition to Mu Haodong and Mu Yunchun, there were also several experts from the Saint Realm of the Mu Family.


    On the journey, Mu Yunchun still came to make tea for Yang Xiaotian at the same time every day.


    However, this time the tea was the rare Great Dragon Tea.


    ¡°`


    A rare type of tea leaf grown from a dragon tree.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian was covered with the scent of dragon after drinking it.


    At night, Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow of the flying ship, gazing at the star-filled sky, his thoughts on cultivation.


    After breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm, his cultivation progress had slowed considerably; even with the consumption of superior Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills, it would take about four months to break through to the second level of the Martial Emperor realm.


    To others, this rate of progress might not seem slow, but for Yang Xiaotian, it was still too slow.


    If he could refine top-grade Heavenly Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills, he should only need two months to break through to Martial Emperor Second Realm.<div>


    But, to refine Heavenly-grade Elixirs, that was difficult!


    Even with his Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, he could not refine Heavenly-grade Elixirs.


    Unless, he could subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire!


    If he could subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, one of the top ten Divine mes, and control two great Divine mes for alchemy, then there was hope of refining Heavenly-grade Elixirs.


    ¡°Thousand Buddha Divine Fire,¡± murmured Yang Xiaotian to himself.


    He had to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Once this trip to Eastern Deste City was over, he would venture into Redemption Land to subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    ¡°What is little brother thinking about?¡± Mu Yunchun approached and asked with a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m thinking about how to refine Heavenly-grade Elixirs.¡±


    Mu Yunchun was astonished upon hearing this, then let out a tenderugh, like a resplendent flower blooming in the night, stunningly beautiful.


    No wonder Mu Yunchunughed; even a Medicine God may not be able to refine Heavenly-grade Elixirs.


    It had been many years since Heavenly-grade Elixirs had appeared on the Azure God Continent. If someone were to refine one, it would surely shake numerous empires.


    ¡°You always bring a smile to people¡¯s faces,¡± Mu Yunchun said, giving Yang Xiaotian a coquettish look.<div>


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, who stood behind Yang Xiaotian, showed a flicker of emotion when Yang Xiaotian mentioned refining a Heavenly-grade Elixir.


    Mu Yunchun couldn¡¯t help but nce at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    She was very curious about the identity of this man in ck with a ghost mask. As far as she knew, he wasn¡¯t with Yang Xiaotian when he first entered the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Afterward, following a trip that Yang Xiaotian took with Long Batian and a few others, this man in ck with a ghost mask started to appear by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    Her father had mentioned that this man in ck was no simple character.


    ¡°Little brother, my father mentioned that when we arrive in Eastern Deste City tomorrow, he wants to introduce you to the City Lord,¡± said Mu Yunchun.


    Given Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current status, the City Lord of Eastern Deste City would surely be pleasantly surprised to meet him.


    ¡°Meet the City Lord of Eastern Deste City?¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head: ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary.¡±


    Mu Yunchun felt disappointed when she heard his response, but she didn¡¯t want to insist, saying with a smile, ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll do as little brother says.¡±


    The night passed.


    The sunrise ushered in.


    Yang Xiaotian emerged from the secret chamber, bathing in the morning sun, his blue robe fluttering in the wind and white clouds hovering around him, resembling a figure from a fairnd.


    Soon, Eastern Deste City came into distant view.<div>


    The City Lord of Eastern Deste City had broken through to the Divine Spirit realm, and many came to offer congrattions. On the ins outside the city, luxurious carriages dazzled onlookers.


    The Mu Family was one of the two great families in the Eastern Deste, and their arrival attracted attention from all quarters.


    ¡°Who is that young man who can follow by the Mu Family patriarch¡¯s side?¡± the onlookers spected, not recognizing Yang Xiaotian.


    In such a significant event, anyone Mu Haodong chose to keep by his side must certainly be someone he values highly.


    ¡°He surely isn¡¯t a disciple of the Mu Family.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not a disciple of the Mu Family, yet the patriarch brings him along; strange.¡±

 Chapter 311: 311 We Can Collaborate with He Qian

    Chapter 311: We Can Coborate with He Qian


    Just as everyone was specting about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, a cheerful voice rang out.


    In the distance, a group of people approached.


    The neers were none other than the masters from the He Family, which had always been at odds with the Mu Family.


    He Qian, the head of the He Family, said to Mu Haodong with a smile, ¡°Brother Mu, what a coincidence.¡± Then he continued with augh, ¡°Brother Mu travels light, I see. But aren¡¯t you worried about traveling with just a few people and bringing along two youngsters? Aren¡¯t you afraid of running into trouble on the way?¡±


    Mu Haodong, looking at the smiling He Qian, didn¡¯t bother with false pleasantries and said coldly, ¡°In my life, I¡¯ve done nothing to weigh on my conscience, so I don¡¯t fear ghosts knocking on my door at midnight. Unlike you, having done so many regrettable deeds, you need to take arge group of masters with you wherever you go.¡±


    He Qian¡¯s face flickered but he didn¡¯t lose his temper. He chuckled and turned his gaze to Mu Yunchun, saying with a smile, ¡°My dear niece grows more radiant each day.¡± Then he added,ughing, ¡°No wonder my third son talks about my niece so eagerly every day.¡±


    At that moment, He Jun, who stood behind He Qian, stepped forward with a smile and greeted Mu Yunchun with a fist and palm salute, ¡°He Jun pays his respects to Sister Mu.¡±


    He Jun was He Qian¡¯s third son.


    He was also the brother of He Zhen from the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Mu Yunchun, looking at the smiling He Jun, did not hide the disgust on her face, ¡°Who is your sister?¡±<div>


    He Qian half-joked, ¡°My dear niece is naturally beautiful. Just today, my third son told me, if he met my niece, to ask for her hand in marriage on his behalf.¡±


    Mu Haodong¡¯s expression changed, and he said coldly, ¡°He Qian, even if my daughter were to marry someone, she would never marry into the He Family. If you continue talking nonsense, I will deal with you right here and now!¡±


    Having said this, he led Mu Yunchun and Yang Xiaotian into Eastern Deste City.


    He Qian watched the retreating figures of Mu Haodong and his group with a sneer.


    ¡°Father, I must marry Mu Yunchun,¡± said He Jun, his eyes following Mu Yunchun¡¯s bouncing form, swallowing saliva hungrily.


    He Qian nced at his third son and frowned, ¡°Once we¡¯ve annihted the Mu Family, Mu Yunchun will inevitably be yours.¡± Then heughed coldly, ¡°All the women of the Mu Family will belong to our He Family then.¡±


    With that, he led the members of the He Family into Eastern Deste City as well.


    Upon the arrival of Mu Haodong and He Qian, the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Eastern Deste City immediately sent people to warmly receive them, and then arranged top-tier pces for Yang Xiaotian and the others.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian and his group had arrived, Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue also arrived.


    The arrival of Buddha Son and Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess in tandem had likewise shaken Eastern Deste City.


    Masters from every family and n in Eastern Deste City went out to wee them.


    In certain respects, Buddha Son Tang Huan and Heavenly Dragon Goddess Yao Qingxue held more influence than the older generation of Mu Haodong and He Qian.


    Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue would receive feverish adoration wherever they went in Buddha Source, any city, any country, any sect, something that might not be the case for Mu Haodong and He Qian.


    The arrival of Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue brought great surprise and joy to Deng Chuan, the City Lord of Eastern Deste City.


    Since the banquet was to be held tomorrow, Deng Chuan also arranged residences for Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue.


    Night fell.


    As Tang Huan was studying a manuscript from the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, one of his subordinates came to report, ¡°My lord, I have just received news that the Mu family head also brought that young man to Eastern Deste City today.¡±


    ¡°Oh!¡± Tang Huan was surprised, ¡°That young boy has alsoe?¡±


    ¡°Yes, in addition to the young boy, there¡¯s also Mu Yunchun, and two elders in the tenth level of the Saint Realm,¡± his subordinate said.<div>


    Tang Huan was puzzled, ¡°Mu Haodong is actually bringing that young boy here.¡±


    Clearly, it was unexpected to him.


    Generally speaking, for an asion like this, Mu Haodong would bring only his closest people.


    But that young boy was definitely not one of the Mu Family¡¯s own.<div>


    These past few days, he had his subordinates investigate the young boy, only knowing that he was brought back by Mu Yunchun. Mu Yunchun was extremely close to him, even excessively so.


    ¡°Young master, this is a good opportunity,¡± his subordinate said. ¡°Mu Haodong doesn¡¯t have many experts with him this time; it¡¯s a good opportunity for us to make our move. We can send someone to snatch the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron from them on their way back.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the He Family¡¯s patriarch, He Qian, is also here.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s possible that He Qian will also make a move against Mu Haodong on his way back!¡±


    ¡°We could coborate with He Qian.¡±


    ¡°He kills Mu Haodong, and we snatch the True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tang Huan was tempted.


    After all, the damaged True God Flying Ship and Innate Fine Iron would be of great use to him.


    He had even collected all the materials needed to repair the True God Flying Ship; he had to get that ship.


    ¡°Moreover, even if the Mu Family finds outter, they wouldn¡¯t dare me the young master. It¡¯s He Qian who will have killed Mu Haodong, and we¡¯re only dealing with that kid,¡± his subordinate added.


    Tang Huan pondered and said, ¡°Continue investigating the identity of that young boy.¡±


    ¡°Yes, young master.¡±


    As Tang Huan¡¯s subordinates continued their investigation on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, Mu Yunchun came over to Xiaotian¡¯s quarter and dragged Xiaotian out for a stroll through Eastern Deste City.<div>


    Eastern Deste City, thergest city in the Eastern Deste, was extraordinarily bustling. Even at night, it was brightly lit, like stars, with an incessant stream of people.


    However, as Mu Yunchun and Xiaotian were wandering leisurely, they saw He Jun, apanied by several experts of the He Family, walking towards them.


    Upon reaching Mu Yunchun, He Jun said with a smile, ¡°Sister Mu, what a coincidence. Are you out for a casual stroll as well?¡±


    Obviously, this was no coincidence, but rather He Jun had intentionallye out to run into Mu Yunchun.


    He Jun didn¡¯t hide the fire in his eyes, staring intently at Mu Yunchun¡¯s generous and ample front.


    Mu Yunchun red back and snapped, ¡°He Jun, who¡¯s your sister? If you keep pestering me, don¡¯t me me for not being polite!¡± After saying that, she pulled Xiaotian away to leave.


    He Jun, scolded by Mu Yunchun, saw how intimately she was pulling Xiaotian and burst into rage. He suddenly rushed forward, blocking Xiaotian¡¯s path: ¡°Kid, Mu Yunchun is my woman. If you daree close to her again, believe it or not, I¡¯ll chop off your hands!¡±


    No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiaotian punched out directly.


    Thump!


    It was still the Summit Mastery-level Asura Force.


    Landing on the opponent¡¯s belly.


    He Jun was sted into the air, thrown hundreds of meters away, then rolled continuously along the ground, vomiting blood as he went.


    ¡°What did you just say? Say it again,¡± Xiaotian said indifferently, looking at the other party.<div>


    He Jun felt as if the punch had sted out all his guts, leaving him speechless.


    His few subordinates, seeing this, became furiously enraged and charged at Xiaotian together, but as soon as they got near him, they were blocked by an invisible force.


    Their attacks upon the invisible force not only failed to break through but also caused them to be violently thrown back, tumbling away farther than He Jun.


    The one who had intervened was none other than the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor looked at them coldly.


    He Jun and his subordinates all looked at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor with astonishment.


    You see, He Jun¡¯s subordinates were all at the tenth level of the Emperor Realm. To send them flying with one blow would mean that the attacker was at the Saint Realm.


    Xiaotian, apanied by Mu Yunchun, walked away. As they passed by He Jun, he was so scared that he kept shuffling his bottom.


    Only after the figures of Xiaotian and the others had disappeared into the crowd did He Jun dare to get up, tremblingly.

 Chapter 312: 312: Does my alchemy technique not catch your eye?

    Chapter 312: Does my alchemy technique not catch your eye?


    He Jun¡¯s few subordinates also stood up, trembling, and came to his side.


    ¡°Go back!¡± Before they could speak, He Jun almost screamed.


    However, just after he finished speaking, a sudden intense pain struck his belly, and he vomited blood once again.


    Half an hourter.


    Inside the pce arranged by the Eastern Deste City Lord¡¯s Mansion, He Qian looked at his son He Jun¡¯s swollen belly with a dark expression. He Jun¡¯s belly was swollen like a woman six months pregnant, with a terrifying fist print on it. Around the fist print, ck Asura Force formed a frightening pattern, vaguely resembling an Asura.


    One of the He Family elders saw this pattern and said with a grave expression, ¡°It¡¯s Asura Force! And it¡¯s at the Summit Mastery Realm!¡±


    Upon hearing about Asura Force, many experts of the He Family shifted their expressions.


    ¡°How does this young boy know Asura Force? Could he be from the Asura Demon Sect?¡± one of the He Family experts asked in shock.


    The Asura Demon Sect was once notorious in the Buddha Source Empire.


    However, it waster annihted by the Peacock n.<div>


    ¡°This young boy, at such a young age, has cultivated Asura Force to Summit Mastery, his talent is not ordinary,¡± another He Family expert said solemnly.


    Yet He Jun cried out to He Qian, ¡°Father, I must kill this boy!¡±


    He Qian turned to the several He Family elders present and said, ¡°The Buddha Son¡¯s people just came over and said they want to cooperate with us, to ambush and kill the Mu Family on their way back.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll kill Mu Haodong, and leave this young boy to them!¡±


    The He Family elders looked at each other but none spoke.


    Killing Mu Haodong would undoubtedly be a deration of war against the Mu Family.


    This was no small matter.


    While the He Family was discussing whether to cooperate with Tang Huan, Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun had finished their stroll and returned to the courtyard, where Xiaotian practiced the Burying Heaven Sword Technique with the Burying Heaven Sword.


    Having obtained the Innate Fine Iron, he hadpletely repaired the Burying Heaven Sword.


    With the Burying Heaven Sword, its technique was extremely powerful when executed, much stronger than many of the Supreme Divine Sword Techniques Xiaotian had practiced before.


    While Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Burying Heaven Sword Technique, Tang Huan was studying the manuscript of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.


    ¡°Redemption Land,¡± Tang Huan murmured to himself.


    Through his days of research, he had deduced that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was very likely located in the Redemption Land of their Buddha Source.


    However, he had only verified that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was in Redemption Land, as to where exactly it was, he still needed to look for more information.


    The next day.


    The Eastern Deste City Lord¡¯s Mansion was bustling extraordinarily.


    The Eastern Deste City Lord Deng Chuan sent someone to invite Mu Haodong, Yang Xiaotian, and a few others to a banquet.


    When they arrived, the banquet was already packed.


    Due to the limited seating in the main hall, Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun could only stand behind Mu Haodong.<div>


    Mu Haodong, seeing Yang Xiaotian standing behind him, felt uneasy, unable to sitfortably.


    Many n leaders familiar with Mu Haodong found his seating posture peculiar.


    Momentster, He Qian, Tang Huan, and Yao Qingxue, among others, arrived.


    He Qian, Tang Huan, and Yao Qingxue came together.<div>


    He Jun, following behind He Qian, entered bending at the waist. When he saw Yang Xiaotian, his eyes nearly shot out sr mes.


    That look, he would have liked nothing better than to st Xiaotian to smithereens.


    Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue sat opposite Mu Haodong.


    He Jun, however, took a seat next to Mu Haodong.


    Once Deng Chuan arrived, the banquet started.


    A room filled withughter and merriment.


    Four rounds of drinks passed.


    Suddenly, Deng Chuan said to Tang Huan, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Buddha Sons can concoct medicines without a Medicine Cauldron. Such an ability I¡¯ve never seen before. I wonder if today you could enlighten this old man.¡±


    As soon as Deng Chuan spoke, the hall erupted into noise.


    ¡°What, concocting medicines without a Medicine Cauldron? That¡¯s impossible! If it¡¯s really possible to concoct without a Medicine Cauldron, that would be a Divine Miracle!¡±


    ¡°With Lord Deng Chuan saying this, it must be true!¡±


    Everyone was shocked and incredulous, the conversation buzzing.


    Originally the center of attention, Tang Huan became even more the focus of everyone¡¯s eyes.<div>


    Even Mu Haodong, He Qian, and other family leaders couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    Mu Yunchun also had a face full of surprise, evidently having never heard of such a miraculous method.


    ¡°Buddha Son, I have practiced alchemy for thousands of years and have never seen medicine refined without a Medicine Cauldron. Such a method, could you possibly give us a chance to broaden our horizons!¡± an excited family ancestor said.


    ¡°Indeed, Buddha Son, do we fortune to witness such a Divine Miracle today!¡±


    One after another, family ancestors and leaders excitedly spoke up.


    Hearing this, Tang Huan stood up, cupped his fists towards Deng Chuan and the crowd, and said, ¡°I have only initially grasped the method of alchemy without a Medicine Cauldron, and the technique is still quite raw. But since Lord Deng Chuan and the venerable ancestors wish to see it, then Tang Huan will perform despite his meager skills.¡±


    The crowd, upon hearing Tang Huan admit to being able to refine medicine without a Medicine Cauldron, was even more astonished and excited.


    Especially the young female disciples of those families, who stared at Tang Huan with hearts in their eyes.


    As if they were looking at a White Dragon prince.


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s astonishment and excitement, Tang Huan got up from his seat and walked to the center of the great hall, then took out fourteen types of medicinal ingredients.


    He smiled at the crowd and said, ¡°I have only just begun to grasp the method of alchemy without a Medicine Cauldron, and currently, I can only refine Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without one. I hope the elders will not find this too disappointing.¡±


    Deng Chuan quickly said, ¡°Being able to refine Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron is already a Divine Miracle; how could we find fault in that?¡±


    The other ancestors and family leaders also hastened to express their agreement.<div>


    Tang Huan nodded, then moved to stand in front of the fourteen medicinal ingredients.


    Everyone quieted down, not blinking, afraid to miss any part of witnessing the Divine Miracle.


    Yang Xiaotian, seeing that Tang Huan could also refine medicine without a Medicine Cauldron, watched his every move intently, looking for anything he might learn from.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Tang Huan suddenly stretched out his hand: ¡°Fire,e!¡±


    Immediately, all the Heaven and Earth Fire within a thousand meters howled towards his hands.


    The crowd, upon seeing this, was amazed.


    A mere Emperor Realm Tang Huan, capable of controlling the Heaven and Earth Fire within a kilometer radius¡ªsuch Soul Power was definitely astonishing.


    Even Deng Chuan couldn¡¯t help but exim upon seeing this.


    Following that, Tang Huan waved his hands, and a me flew toward one of the medicinal ingredients.


    At the same time, with his other hand, he controlled the flying of that ingredient off the ground.


    Wrapped in Heaven and Earth Fire, the ingredient slowly began to melt.


    Afterward, Tang Huan, in the same manner, controlled the Heaven and Earth Fire to melt another medicinal ingredient.


    Under everyone¡¯s tense gaze, the fourteen medicinal ingredients melted one by one.<div>


    In the end, Tang Huan controlled the Heaven and Earth Fire to coalesce into a fire cauldron.


    The crowd, seeing Tang Huan construct a fire cauldron with the Heaven and Earth Fire, widened their eyes in disbelief; many in the room were alchemy experts who had never seen anyone use Heaven and Earth Fire to construct a fire cauldron before.


    Once the fire cauldron was formed, Tang Huan controlled the melted essence of the fourteen medicinal ingredients to drip into the cauldron.


    Everyone held their breath.


    Time passed, and atst, the scent of medicine wafted from within the fire cauldron.


    A cyan-colored liquid materialized in front of everyone.


    ¡°It¡¯s done!¡±


    ¡°He really refined the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    ¡°A Divine Miracle! A Divine Miracle of our Buddha Source Empire! No, a Divine Miracle in the history of alchemy within the Martial Soul world!¡±


    The many ancestors and Sect Masters present were shocked beyond measure, filled with excitement.


    Even Deng Chuan, Mu Haodong, He Qian, and others were filled with amazement.


    But Yang Xiaotian was greatly disappointed; he had hoped to see if there were anything in Tang Huan¡¯s alchemy technique worth learning, but the other¡¯s alchemy technique was clumsy, and the fire cauldron he constructed was not stable at all.


    In the end, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid that was produced was merely of superior quality.


    Previously, even before he joined the True Dragon Divine Sect, he could casually refine top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron.


    Tang Huan, seeing that he had refined a superior quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, was delighted within. Before, the best he¡¯d done was refining high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, so achieving superior quality today felt like a performance beyond his usual level.


    Caught up in his pride, he suddenly noticed Yang Xiaotian shaking his head in disappointment and couldn¡¯t suppress his anger: ¡°This young brother has been shaking his head all the while; could it be that you find my alchemy technique unsatisfactory?¡±


    Everyone grew silent, turning their gazes toward Yang Xiaotian all at once.

 Chapter 313: 313: Using Only One Hand

    Chapter 313: Using Only One Hand


    ¡°What, this kid actually dares to mock the Buddha Son!¡±


    ¡°Alchemy without a Medicine Cauldron, such a Divine Miracle! This idiot, he even dares to mock!¡±


    Suddenly, everyone stared at Yang Xiaotian with eyes filled with utmost fury, like enraged lions.


    He Jun, who had just been sted by Yang Xiaotian the night before, found an outlet for his fury: ¡°Kneel down, and apologize to the Buddha Son!¡±


    Once He Jun spoke, many other family disciples were also enraged: ¡°That¡¯s right, kneel down and apologize to the Buddha Son!¡±


    The crowd was incensed, and a wave of curses followed.


    The Eastern Deste City Lord, Deng Chuan, also looked towards Mu Haodong: ¡°Mu Family Head, did you bring this young man here?¡± His tone was filled with great dissatisfaction and displeasure.


    Clearly, he was ming Mu Haodong for bringing such an ignorant young man to such an important asion.


    Mu Haodong was at a loss for words at the moment.


    However, Yang Xiaotian simply scanned the group of furiously indignant people, like He Jun and others, and said calmly, ¡°Alchemy without a Medicine Cauldron is nothing special. I don¡¯t need a Medicine Cauldron; with just one hand, I can easily produce the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.¡±<div>


    Ever since he had produced the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without using a Medicine Cauldron a few years ago, Yang Xiaotian had often attempted alchemy without one. Over the years, he had already mastered the skill of single-handed alchemy, and could even produce the finest Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pills.


    Not to mention something as elementary as the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    However, as soon as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words were uttered, the hall erupted in even greater fury.


    ¡°Without a Medicine Cauldron, just one hand, and he can easily produce the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid! Which fool is this!¡±


    ¡°Throw this fool out of the main hall!¡±


    ¡°No, drive him out of Eastern Deste City!¡±


    ¡°Right, banish him from Eastern Deste so he can never set foot here again!¡±


    Disciples and experts from each sect were furious and seethed with anger.


    Deng Chuan, seeing this young man brought by Mu Haodong speaking more and more inappropriately, also began to feel his anger rise.


    Tang Huan was even more annoyed. This young man imed he could produce the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid with just one hand and without a Medicine Cauldron. What was he implying? That his own alchemy level was not as good as his?


    He, the number one young alchemist of the Buddha Source Empire, was not as good as a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy?


    He stared at Yang Xiaotian with extremely cold eyes: ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a chance. If you can produce the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid with just one hand and no Medicine Cauldron, I will acknowledge you as my master.¡±


    After Tang Huan spoke, everyone was taken aback.


    However, Yang Xiaotian shook his head and replied, ¡°No need, I am not interested in taking disciples either.¡±


    Everyone, upon hearing this, red at Yang Xiaotian with even more fury.


    Even Tang Huan¡¯s face turned ashen.


    Did this kid just say he wasn¡¯t interested in taking him as a disciple?


    Was he implying that he was sure to win?


    Tang Huan¡¯s eyes stared coldly at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Fine, if you can produce the finest Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid with just one hand and no Medicine Cauldron, I will kneel and apologize to you. But if you fail to do so, you will kneel and apologize to me!¡±<div>


    Just as Mu Haodong was about to speak, Yang Xiaotian leaped up,nded in front of Tang Huan, and without a word, took out fourteen different medicinal herbs.


    These fourteen medicinal herbs were exactly the ones needed to concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    However, the fourteen herbs Yang Xiaotian had were just ordinary herbs, unlike the high-quality herbs Tang Huan had used just before.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian opened his hand andmanded, ¡°Fire,e!¡±<div>


    All was quiet in Heaven and Earth.


    Just as He Jun was about to open his mouth in ridicule, suddenly, the space for ten miles around began to shake violently.


    Soon after, sounds like a tsunami rose up.


    Everyone was shocked.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±


    Just when everyone was shocked, suddenly, they saw an endless torrent of Heaven and Earth Fire roaring in from all directions, like an endless sea with no visible end.


    Staring at this boundless, fierce ocean of fire, everyone was stunned.


    Even Mu Haodong and Mu Yunchun were taken aback.


    This!


    How terrifying must one¡¯s Soul Power be to control such a terrifying Heaven and Earth Fire?


    Tang Huan¡¯s control over the Heaven and Earth Fire within a kilometer radius had already amazed everyone, butpared to the Heaven and Earth Fire that Yang Xiaotian was controlling now, it seemed like nothing more than a firefly.


    It was simply weak.


    Tang Huan, looking at the Heaven and Earth Fire filling the sky and earth, was also dumbfounded.<div>


    Yao Qingxue¡¯s face was filled with disbelief as well.


    It was unthinkable that this twelve or thirteen-year-old boy possessed such terrifying Soul Power.


    He Jun taunted, ¡°So what if his Soul Power is strong? Just because his Soul Power is strong doesn¡¯t mean his alchemy technique is!¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than Yang Xiaotian waved one hand, and suddenly the Heaven and Earth Fire in the sky transformed into a cloud of mes, gathering above the fourteen types of medicinal ingredients. Then, like rain, sparks continuously fell from the cloud of mes.


    Every single spark hit the fourteen types of medicinal ingredients with exact precision.


    Some sparks wererge, and others were small.


    Therger sparksnded on the hard-to-melt ingredients, while the smaller onesnded on the easier-to-melt ingredients.


    The crowd was dumbstruck.


    This was possible?


    They had never thought that a pharmacist could refine fourteen types of medicinal ingredients simultaneously.


    Some skilled pharmacists could refine two types of ingredients at the same time, and some extremely skilled pharmacists might even manage to refine three simultaneously.


    But no pharmacist had ever been known to simultaneously refine four, five, or more types of ingredients.


    As for refining more than ten types at once, such a technique was unheard of and unseen by them.<div>


    So when they saw Yang Xiaotian attempting to refine fourteen types of ingredients simultaneously, they were all shocked.


    ¡°Simultaneously refining fourteen types of ingredients; even a Medicine Saint wouldn¡¯t be able to do that!¡± Tang Huan said with a shake of the head and a scoff, ¡°He won¡¯t be sessful.¡±


    Yao Qingxue also shook her head.


    She didn¡¯t believe that the young boy before her could seed.


    Even her master couldn¡¯t refine fourteen types of ingredients at the same time; how could this young boy possibly seed?


    It seemed the young boy was too eager for sess and had acted rashly.


    Suddenly, the rate of sparks raining down from the cloud of mes above increased; earlier, it was a batch per second, now it was even faster.


    As countless sparks descended, the fourteen types of medicinal ingredients were continually enveloped by them.


    Quickly, all fourteen types of ingredients melted at the same time.


    Seeing that all fourteen types of ingredients had indeed all melted sessfully, many were in disbelief that it had truly been sessful.


    One must understand, controlling fourteen mes simultaneously is an extremely difficult task.


    A slight carelessness and any one of the ingredients might turn to ashes.


    However, for now, it was only individual melting sess; the fused liquids of all ingredients still needed to bebined.<div>


    Next, Yang Xiaotian began to merge the melted liquids of the fourteen ingredients, one by one.


    Two types, three types, four types! Finally, all fourteen types of the medicinal liquid merged sessfully.


    Before the crowd could even react, the Heaven and Earth Fire that had gathered into a cloud of mes suddenly underwent violent changes, turning into arge, extremely bright Medicine Cauldron.


    The fused liquid of the fourteen ingredients then dripped into the Medicine Cauldron.

 Chapter 314: 314: Pushing Across 13 Provinces with Both Palms

    Chapter 314: Pushing Across 13 Provinces with Both Palms


    ¡°`


    Everyone was tensely watching the Medicine Cauldron.


    The silence in the great hall was such that one could hear a pin drop.


    Even Tang Huan was clenching his fists so tightly he was unaware of it.


    The Eastern Deste City Lord, Deng Chuan, also stared fixedly at the Medicine Cauldron without blinking.


    Mu Yunchun could even hear his own heartbeat.


    He Jun also stared intently at the Medicine Cauldron, hoping it would suddenly explode, but the cyan liquid within became increasingly luminous.


    The fragrance of the Elixir soon wafted out, and it grew stronger and stronger.


    Finally, after a burst of dazzling light, the Medicine Cauldron dissipated, and a ball of enchanting cyan Spiritual Liquid floated in front of everyone.


    Seeing the cyan Spiritual Liquid before their eyes, everyone was stunned.<div>


    Tang Huan¡¯s face looked extremely unpleasant.


    ¡°Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡± Eventually, the Eastern Deste City Lord Deng Chuan spoke, breaking the oppressive silence of the great hall.


    Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!


    As Deng Chuan spoke, everyone¡¯s hearts trembled violently, with disbelief, iprehension, shock, and astonishment.


    They gazed at the Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid before them, still feeling it was unreal, still unable to believe.


    It had actually seeded!


    Without a Medicine Cauldron, using just one hand, he had crafted Top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    ¡°How is that possible!¡± Tang Huan¡¯s men still couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Their young master, honored as the top Alchemy expert among the younger generation of the Buddha Source Empire, had already achieved a Divine Miracle by crafting elixirs without a Medicine Cauldron, but now, the young man before them was even more monstrous! Without a Medicine Cauldron, using just one hand, he had crafted an Elixir of even higher quality.


    And in even less time!


    It took only dozens of breaths.


    And his Soul Power was stronger!


    Terrifyingly stronger.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Tang Huan¡¯s incredulous face and said, ¡°You lost.¡±


    You lost!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words struck Tang Huan like Nine Heavens Thunder, exploding in his mind.


    Tang Huan¡¯s face turned pale.


    All this time, he had been extremely confident in his Alchemy talent, especially after discovering the method of crafting elixirs without a Medicine Cauldron, he felt his talent in Alchemy was enough to dazzle through the ages; yet now, he had lost to a young boy.


    He had actually lost!<div>


    Thinking of the vow he had made earlier, his face turned first green, then red.


    The revered Buddha Son of the Buddha Source Empire, did he really have to kneel and apologize to the young man before him?


    At this moment, everyone also remembered the vow Tang Huan had made, their expressions turningplex.


    Sensing everyone¡¯s gaze, Tang Huan took a deep breath and with a cupped fist salute to Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I was ignorant, not knowing how high the sky or how vast the earth was, and my words were biased. Young brother, I apologize.¡±<div>


    No matter what, he couldn¡¯t kneel.


    The Eastern Deste City Lord Deng Chuan, who was close friends with Tang Huan¡¯s master, also spoke up to help Tang Huan out. ¡°The Buddha Son¡¯s words were just a momentarypse. Since the Buddha Son has apologized, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡±


    Tang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Deng Chuan, and then moved to return to his seat.


    Yang Xiaotian, seeing that he had not yet spoken and that Tang Huan had not asked his opinion before returning to his seat, said indifferently, ¡°Just an apology, and that¡¯s it?¡±


    Tang Huan couldn¡¯t help but stop in his tracks and coldly looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°What more do you want?¡±


    ¡°What more do I want?¡± Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian, expressionless, said, ¡°Kneel down and apologize!¡±


    Tang Huan could not help but be furious, ¡°Young man, don¡¯t push your luck!¡±


    Deng Chuan was also irritated. He had just spoken, and yet this young man still refused toply, showing no sense of propriety. He couldn¡¯t help but turn to Mu Haodong, ¡°Mu family head, what do you say about this?¡±


    Mu Haodong, however, wore a bitter smile, ¡°In this matter, I too have no say.¡±


    ¡°`


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current identity, he couldn¡¯t possibly be Yang Xiaotian¡¯s master.


    Deng Chuan and He Qian, among others, were all surprised.


    Wasn¡¯t this young boy brought here by Mu Haodong? Howe even Mu Haodong, the Mu Family head, couldn¡¯t be his master?<div>


    Who was this young boy?


    At that moment, everyone suddenly realized that the identity of this young boy might not be simple.


    ¡°Kid, who do you think you are, daring to demand our young master to kneel and apologize to you?¡± Tang Huan¡¯s subordinate, seeing Yang Xiaotian indeed daring to ask their Buddha Son to kneel down and apologize, couldn¡¯t help but fly into a rage.


    As he said this, he suddenly charged forward, throwing a punch at Yang Xiaotian.


    Underneath that fist, Holy Power roared.


    It was indeed a Saint Realm being.


    And not just any Saint Realm, but a master of the tenth level.


    However, just as his punch was about to reach Yang Xiaotian, suddenly a fist thrust out through the air, Demonic Qi churning tumultuously, as if an Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had descended.


    Boom!


    Their fists collided.


    The Saint Realm subordinate of Tang Huan let out a miserable scream, was sent flying backward, and violently crashed into a stone pir at the back of the great hall, which teetered on the verge of copse amidst a resounding crash.


    Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor wearing a ghastly mask beside Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°A Demigod, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor!¡± Deng Chuan suddenly spoke out.<div>


    Upon hearing this, everyone trembled from head to toe.


    Even Mu Haodong and Mu Yunchun were taken aback. These masked individuals in ck clothes, following beside Yang Xiaotian, turned out to be the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor of Zhongzhou, notorious for his demonic reputation!


    Tang Huan, Yao Qingxue, He Qian, and others were all greatly rmed.


    A hush fell over the great hall momentarily.


    Deng Chuan, however, looked gravely at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°May I ask who you are, young friend?¡±


    He truly couldn¡¯t figure out who this young boy was, to have the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, a being of demigod status, willingly following him.


    Generally speaking, only mighty Divine Spirit Powerhouses could have a demigod follow them.


    But this young boy was clearly not a Divine Spirit.


    Suddenly, from the crowd, a disciple excitedly looked at Yang Xiaotian and said with a trembling voice, ¡°I know who he is, I know who he is.¡±


    All eyes turned to that disciple.


    ¡°He fought alone against Emperor Sanqian with one hand, and swept across the thirteen continents with his palms!¡± said the disciple, filled with uncontroble excitement.


    He fought alone against Emperor Sanqian with one hand, and swept across the thirteen continents with his palms!


    Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian, their faces filled with shock.<div>


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue eximed in unison.


    Yang Xiaotian!


    Before them, the young boy was indeed Yang Xiaotian, the one who had swept across the thirteen continents with his palms!


    Many disciples in the great hall were excited, looking at Yang Xiaotian with admiration and fervor: ¡°Divine Yang, he is Divine Yang! My Divine Yang!¡±


    Ever since the battle between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan, not only had Yang Xiaotian been praised as the one who fought alone against Emperor Sanqian and swept across the thirteen continents, but many masters of the Buddha Source had also called him Divine Yang!


    The disciple who had recognized Yang Xiaotian was so excited he was nearly fainting. The battle between Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan at Wangtian Peak was so shocking and exciting that it was beyond suppression.


    He had the fortune of witnessing it, but because there were too many people, and he stood too far away, he couldn¡¯t see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face clearly.


    Just now, when he spotted Yang Xiaotian behind Mu Haodong, he felt that Yang Xiaotian looked somewhat familiar. Later, when Yang Xiaotian produced top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without using a Medicine Cauldron, he suddenly thought of the figure at Wangtian Peak who had fought alone against Emperor Sanqian.


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the more he looked, the more thrilled he got.


    Deng Chuan was simrly violently shaken, having not expected that the young boy before him was Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 315: 315: The Return of the Azure Bear

    Chapter 315: The Return of the Azure Bear


    Everyone was shocked that the young boy before them was Yang Xiaotian.


    At the same time, people came to understand why Tang Huan had lost to Yang Xiaotian and found peace with the oue.


    No wonder!


    In the entire Buddha Source, who else could win in alchemy against Tang Huan, the Buddha Son? Probably only Divine Yang, who possessed the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    After the battle at Wangtian Peak, many were specting about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy talent.


    Now, they finally understood Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy talent.


    Without a Medicine Cauldron, with just one hand, he could concoct a batch of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in just dozens of breaths!


    This kind of alchemy talent was also uniquely unparalleled in all of history.


    ¡°Is he going to surpass the Ancient Thousand Buddhas Medicine God?¡± asked a Sect Ancestor in the great hall, his voice trembling with excitement as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone was struck with waves of astonishment.<div>


    In ancient times, the Thousand Buddhas Medicine God was the first Medicine God of the Buddha Source Empire and their strongest Medicine God, possessing the most formidable Martial Dao strength as well as unparalleled alchemy prowess.


    In the great hall, people found it difficult to calm down for a long time.


    After learning Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity, even Deng Chuan, the Eastern Deste City Lord who had favored Tang Huan, fell silent.


    Behind Tang Huan was the Buddha Source Academy, but behind Yang Xiaotian was the Celestial Burial Academy!


    Moreover, behind Yang Xiaotian stood Ji Wudi himself!


    Thinking of the Invincible Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi, Deng Chuan felt a chilling sense of fear.


    The Demon Sky Sword God could y four Divine Spirit Powerhouses with a single strike, but even a figure like the Demon Sky Sword God was but a junior in front of the Invincible Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    And that was far more than what Deng Chuan, who had only just broken through to be a Divine Spirit, could ever boast of.


    Deng Chuan kept silent, and Tang Huan, feeling like he had a thorn in his back, eventually knelt and apologized to Yang Xiaotian under the watchful eyes of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and everyone else.


    The moment he knelt, Tang Huan¡¯s face turned purple with humiliation.


    After getting up, Tang Huan naturally had no face to stay any longer. He bid his farewell to Deng Chuan and left with his followers in a most embarrassing state.


    When Yao Qingxue left, she nced at Yang Xiaotian, her eyes filled with curiosity.


    In fact, she had no deep connection with Tang Huan; he was from Buddha Source Academy, and she was from Heavenly Dragon Temple ¨C their masters were simply acquaintances.


    Watching the Buddha Son Tang Huan leave, the people in the great hall sighed incessantly.


    Deng Chuan looked at Yang Xiaotian and, forcing a smile,plimented him, ¡°Friend Yang, your alchemy skills are unprecedented and unrivaled, a true eye-opener, and I am thoroughly impressed.¡±


    ¡°You tter me, senior,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded with a cupped fist salute.


    The great hall did not be subdued by Tang Huan¡¯s departure; instead, it grew livelier with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s presence.


    After the banquet, various elders and family heads earnestly invited Yang Xiaotian, hoping he would find time to visit their sects and families.


    Meanwhile, Tang Huan, who had already left Eastern Deste City, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes shooting forth an rming cold light.<div>


    ¡°Young master, just now He Qian sent a message saying that he would no longer cooperate with us,¡± murmured one of Tang Huan¡¯s subordinates.


    This meant they would not join forces to ambush Yang Xiaotian and Mu Haodong anymore.


    Although He Qian had been considering it after their previous agreement, he had now backed off.


    Even though Tang Huan had anticipated this oue, his expression darkened further upon hearing the news.<div>


    ¡°Young master, today¡¯s incident was merely an ident,¡± a Saint Realm ancestor behind Tang Huan spoke up: ¡°If Yang Xiaotian participates in the Buddha Source Pharmacistpetition, you will surely defeat him!¡±


    They all knew of Tang Huan¡¯s high alchemy level.


    They believed that in a straightforwardpetition, Tang Huan would certainly prevail.


    After all, Tang Huan could now concoct the supreme Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    ¡°Moreover, victory and defeat aremon urrences,¡± another Saint Realm ancestor spoke. ¡°Young master need not take it to heart, Yang Xiaotian may not be able to refine the supreme grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.¡±


    Tang Huan took a deep breath and said, ¡°Rest assured, everyone, I won¡¯t dwell on such a trivial matter. All these years, I have never been defeated, so today¡¯s defeat is actually a blessing in disguise for me!¡±


    ¡°I will turn this shame into motivation and redouble my efforts!¡±


    ¡°I will defeat Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°And wash away the disgrace of today!¡±


    Tang Huan¡¯s words inspired his followers to praise, ¡°Good! A determined man should be just like this. Young master will surely be a peerless overlord in the future, shaking the ancient and modern worlds!¡±


    After the banquet ended, Yang Xiaotian and a few others, including Mu Haodong, also left Eastern Deste City.


    However, Yang Xiaotian did not apany Mu Haodong and the others back to the Mu Family.


    Along the way, he bid farewell to Mu Haodong.<div>


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind was made up, Mu Haodong did not try to keep him any longer but asked Yang Xiaotian to make sure to visit the Mu Family in the future.


    Mu Yunchun watched Yang Xiaotian leave, feeling a sense of emptiness inside.


    Painful!


    After parting ways with the people from the Mu Family, Yang Xiaotian immediately summoned the Abyssal Spaceship and sped towards the Redemption Land of Buddha Source.


    This time, he was determined to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was flying towards the Redemption Land of Buddha Source, and far, far away from the Azure God Continent was enshrouded in deathly aura and surging demonic qi. Here, everything was deste, silent, and oppressive.


    This was the ancient demon battlefield of the Martial Soul World.


    It was also one of the several major battlefields in the Martial Soul World.


    Even those in the Emperor Realm dared not set foot in the Ancient Demon Battlefield, for entering meant certain death.


    Suddenly, in the ancient demon battlefield, an immense bear paw tore through the towering demonic qi, and an Azure Bear,rge enough to eclipse the sun, appeared in the sky above the battlefield.


    The body of the Abyssal Master filled the entire Hell Abyss.


    This Azure Bear was so massive, it wasparable to the Abyssal Master itself.


    With its appearance, the Azure Bear roared towards the sky, its howl vibrating for who knows how many miles, causing all deathly auras to scatter, and many hidden Death Spirits deep in space were directly obliterated.<div>


    The might of a single roar was this terrifying.


    The Azure Bear flew back towards the Azure God Continent.


    This Azure Bear was the mount of the Lord of Azure God from ancient times, the Divine Beast Azure Bear.


    In these past years, it had not been on the Azure God Continent, but had ventured into the ancient demon battlefield to search for the Azure God Suit left behind by the Lord of Azure God.


    With a single step, the Azure Bear crossed tens of thousands of miles.


    Several dayster, it returned to the Azure God Mansion of the Azure God Continent.


    The Azure God Mansion, founded by the Lord of Azure God, had stood tall until this day and was currently the most powerful force on the Azure God Continent, guarding it.


    ¡°We wee your return, elder!¡± The Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion, Zeng Yongjiang, hurriedly approached to greet the Azure Bear with respect.


    The Azure Bear transformed into a tall middle-aged man. He nodded at Zeng Yongjiang and then asked, ¡°Has anything happened during the years I was away?¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang quickly replied, ¡°Nothing has happened.¡± But upon remembering something, he hesitantly said, ¡°However, some days ago, there was a disturbance in the Hell Abyss of the Soul Beast Forest.¡±


    ¡°A disturbance in the Hell Abyss!¡± Upon hearing this, the Azure Bear immediately became alert and stopped in his tracks.


    ¡°Yes, some days ago, someone entered the Hell Abyss and fought fiercely with ¡®that one¡¯!¡± Zeng Yongjiang said with a grave face, ¡°At that time, everyone saw a horrifying golden beam of light that illuminated the entire Soul Beast Forest!¡±


    The Azure Bear was startled.<div>


    Who could it be that could fight to a standstill with ¡®that one¡¯ of the abyss!


    ¡°Without your presence, elder, we did not dare to rashly enter the Hell Abyss to investigate,¡± said Zeng Yongjiang.


    The Azure Bear gazed in the direction of the Soul Beast Forest, ¡°I will go to the Hell Abyss now.¡±

 Chapter 316: 316: Great Grandfather’s Great Grandfather

    Chapter 316: Great Grandfather¡¯s Great Grandfather


    ¡°The senior is going personally?¡± Zeng Yongjiang was startled.


    Azure Bear¡¯s voice was heavy, ¡°It concerns him, I must go there myself.¡± Then he instructed Zeng Yongjiang to wait for his message, took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the horizon.


    In a short while, Azure Bear appeared above the Soul Beast Forest.


    Since concealing his aura was of no use, he did not bother to hide it, and headed towards the Hell Abyss.


    At that moment, within the Soul Beast Forest, all disciples and soul beasts felt the domineering and prison-like aura of Azure Bear and were thrown into terror.


    Countless soul beastsy prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.


    Even soul beasts that had lived for a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand years dared not stir.


    Azure Bear arrived at the Hell Abyss.


    When he arrived at the Hell Abyss, he couldn¡¯t help feeling nervous.


    However, when he saw the scene of utter destruction at the Hell Abyss, he was stunned.<div>


    With a sh, he moved to the bottom of the Hell Abyss, only to see the whole bottom had been bombed to a pockmarked state, with terrifying pits densely spread out and countless craggy rocks fallen on the ground with no end in sight.


    He was shocked.


    When he arrived at a certain spot, he touched the ground; it was all blood, all the Abyssal Master¡¯s blood!


    The Abyssal Master had actually been injured, and severely at that!


    Who could it be, who had injured the Abyssal Master?


    He kept flying forward, growing more and more astonished with each thing he checked.


    When he had flown a full circle and returned to his starting point, his eyes were full of doubt and his heart was filled with shock, iprehension, and confusion.


    The Abyssal Master had sustained serious injuries, it was unknown whether he had fled or died.


    But he couldn¡¯t feel any trace of the aura of the person who had fought a great battle with the Abyssal Master.


    Azure Bear searched round again, but still could not find any trace of the other¡¯s aura.


    In the end, he could onlye out from the Hell Abyss and then found a few soul beasts that had lived for a hundred thousand years, hoping to get some information from them. However, those soul beasts were all terrified and shook their heads saying they knew nothing.


    With no other recourse, Azure Bear could only leave and return to the Azure God Mansion.


    ¡°Senior, what happened?¡± Zeng Yongjiang came up to meet him and quickly asked.


    Azure Bear shook his head, ¡°The Abyssal Master is seriously injured, his life and death uncertain.¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Zeng Yongjiang¡¯s face changed drastically.


    ¡°Moreover, the Abyssal Master is very likely dead,¡± said Azure Bear with a heavy expression.


    Zeng Yongjiang was even more shaken inside.


    The death of the Abyssal Master would be a super event on the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Who does senior think could have done this?¡± After a long time, Zeng Yongjiang nervously asked.<div>


    Azure Bear frowned deeply, ¡°I can¡¯t figure it out.¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang was parched and agitated, ¡°Why would someone kill the Abyssal Master?¡± Suddenly, a thought struck him, and his face changed, ¡°Could it be that they want to condense a million-year Soul Ring?¡±


    But Azure Bear denied it, ¡°Condensing a million-year Soul Ring is no small feat; no one¡¯s Martial Soul can bear the energy of a million-year soul beast, let alone the Abyssal Master who is close to two million years!¡±


    While Zeng Yongjiang and Azure Bear were discussing the Abyssal Master¡¯s situation, Yang Xiaotian, piloting the Abyssal Spaceship, had arrived at the Redemption Land of the Buddha Source.<div>


    The Abyssal Spaceship flew extremely fast and was very stable. Inside the ship, there was not the slightest jolt, and Xiaotian was more and more satisfied with the Abyssal Spaceship.


    However, the only drawback was that the Divine Level spaceship required high-grade or higher Spirit Stones to operate, and the number of high-grade Spirit Stones consumed for one day¡¯s flight was an astonishing figure ¨C more than a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones in one day.


    You should know that when Xiaotian first went to the Imperial Capital of the Divine Dragon Empire, buying the Azure Dragon Residence cost him only a dozen or so high-grade Spirit Stones.


    One day of flight was the equivalent of the cost of ten Azure Dragon Residences.


    Of course, for the likes of Yang Xiaotian now, this bit of top-grade Spirit Stones was nothing at all.


    Just the top-grade Spirit Stones in the Space Rings of the Abyssal Master and those dozen-plus Divine Spirits alone could sustain his flight for a thousand years without running out.


    After stepping into Redemption Land, Yang Xiaotian put away the flying ship and flew through the air with the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Upon entering Redemption Land, they saw nothing but barren mountains and treacherous waters everywhere, the air reeked of a foul stench, devoid of any signs of life, somewhat simr to the Evil Land that Yang Xiaotian had entered before.


    Yet, the conditions here were even worse than in the Evil Land.


    And everywhere there was fighting, bloodshed.


    Severed limbs and broken arms could be seen all around.


    Redemption Land was more dreadful than Yang Xiaotian had imagined.


    As Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor flew forward, suddenly, a faint cry for help came from ahead.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanion sped up.


    When they arrived, they saw hundreds of bodies lying on the ground, the blood not yet dry, obviously just in. The faint cries for help wereing from a little girl, about the same age as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s younger sister.


    As Yang Xiaotian approached the little girl, he discovered her heart had already been pierced. Just as he was about to reach out to save her, the girl breathed herst.


    Yang Xiaotian let out a deep sigh, then gentlyid the girl¡¯s body down.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to examine the others, suddenly, from a distance, the sound of breaking through the air approached. Arge group of young men and women dressed in the attire of Buddha Source Academy students came flying over.


    There were many of them, over a hundred.


    Every year, Buddha Source Academy would organize its students toe to Redemption Land for training; these students were here for that very reason.


    Upon arrival, seeing the hundreds of dead on site, their faces changed.


    The crowd moved forward to survey the matter.


    One of the students suddenly used Yang Xiaotian angrily, ¡°Boy, how did these people die?¡± Judging by his tone, he seemed to suspect that the dead were killed by Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian looked indifferently at him and did not answer.


    ¡°Wearing a ghost mask and emanating Demonic Qi, he doesn¡¯t look like anything good.¡± Another student pointed at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, ¡°These people, maybe they were the killers!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian swept the two with a cold gaze, ¡°You can eat whatever you like, but you can¡¯t just say anything you please. I could say these people were possibly killed by someone from Buddha Source Academy.¡±<div>


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian spoke, the faces of the Buddha Source Academy students and teachers present all changed, seething with anger.


    ¡°How dare you spheme Buddha Source Academy!¡± The first student who had spoken became furious and with a sweep of his long sword, he lunged at Yang Xiaotian.


    With that one sword strike, the glow of Buddha shone grandly.


    Faintly, the shadow of a Buddha could be seen.


    This was indeed Buddha Sword, the signature swordsmanship of Buddha Source Academy.


    Buddha Sword was one of the top Supreme Divine Powers of Buddha Source Academy, and only core disciples who were being focused on for development had the chance to learn it.


    However, Yang Xiaotian did not even look, he simply punched out directly.


    As his punch was unleashed, a blood dragon roared and flew out.


    Boom!


    The blood dragon directly sted through the opponent¡¯s Sword Qi, shattering the Buddha¡¯s shadow like it was a bubble.


    The Buddha Source Academy student was hurled out like a withered leaf, and when he hit the ground, there was a deep imprint of a dragon¡¯s head in blood on his chest.


    The teachers and students of Buddha Source Academy were all shocked.


    ¡°Dragon Blood Fist!¡± One teacher from Buddha Source Academy red at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Tell me, who is the Dragon Blood Demon Lord to you!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian looked at him and said, ¡°He¡¯s your grandfather¡¯s grandfather!¡±

 Chapter 317: 317 The First Peak of Thousand Demon Mountain

    Chapter 317: The First Peak of Thousand Demon Mountain


    My grandfather¡¯s grandfather?


    Isn¡¯t that an ancestral spirit?


    The teachers and students of the Buddha Source Academy wore strange expressions on their faces.


    That Buddha Source Academy teacher, enraged and humiliated, was filled with the intent to kill, ¡°So young, yet so viciously brutal, you must not be spared!¡±


    With that, he suddenlyunched a powerful punch towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Instantly, Holy Power howled like a turbulent sea.


    The Buddha Source Academy, being one of the two great academies of the Buddha Source Empire, required that their teachers be at least of the Saint Realm.


    With this punch, Saint Buddha Power furiously swept up Heaven and Earth, lighting up the surroundings.


    However, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was faster. As soon as the other party made a move, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor pped him across the face.


    Smack!<div>


    The pnded on the man¡¯s face.


    The force sent him spinning on the spot, his mind thundering, teeth shattering.


    As the Buddha Source Academy teacher was spinning, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor delivered another palm strike, sending the teacher flying and smashing him hard against a distant mountain peak.


    The mountain peak crumbled.


    Everything happened too quickly; the faces of all the teachers and students of the Buddha Source Academy went pale.


    They looked at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor with unconcealed terror.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the student who had just been sted away by his Dragon Blood Fist; the student retreated in fear.


    ¡°Anybody else want to try?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    None of the teachers and students of the Buddha Source Academy dared to respond.


    Yang Xiaotian scanned the teachers and students of the Buddha Source Academy present: ¡°Buddha Source Academy?¡± He then shook his head with augh and took off into the sky with the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Listening to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s contemptuousughter, the faces of the teachers and students of the Buddha Source Academy turned ugly.


    ¡°Teacher Lin, that youngster is too arrogant, daring to grievously injure our Buddha Source Academy teacher and core student,¡± one of the students couldn¡¯t help but say angrily.


    One of the teachers took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart, and said, ¡°Wait a while; the Buddha Youth God will be here soon. Once the Buddha Youth God arrives, we will catch up to them, and they will pay the price!¡±


    Buddha Youth God!


    The mightiest expert under the Buddha Family¡¯s Divine Spirits.


    Also the most powerful under the Divine Spirits of Buddha Source.


    Before Tianxin of the Buddha Family, Tang Huan, the Buddha Youth God had the highest potential among students of the Buddha Source Academy, already at the Demigod Cultivation level, and everybody agreed that once the Buddha Youth God broke through to the realm of Divine Spirit, he would be unimaginably strong.


    This time, the Buddha Youth God of the Buddha Source Academy was alsoing, but these Buddha Source Academy teachers and students had gone ahead, with the Buddha Youth God following after them.


    Hearing the name of Buddha Youth God, all the teachers and students of the Buddha Source Academy were invigorated, their faces filled with zealous worship.<div>


    In the Buddha Source Academy, the Buddha Youth God was the Sky-Supporting Pir.


    The prestige of the Buddha Youth God ran even deeper than that of Tang Huan.


    After Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor left, they flew straight towards Thousand Demon Mountain.


    The closer they got to Thousand Demon Mountain, the more chaotic it became.<div>


    Along the way, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion were constantly attacked.


    For those who attacked them, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor executed them with a single sword strike.


    After dealing with dozens of troublesome encounters, they finally saw Thousand Demon Mountain.


    Thousand Demon Mountain stood in the depths of thend of Redemption Land, continuous and unending, enveloped in Demonic Qi, its gray haze instilling panic in anyone who saw it.


    asionally, a few ck birds would fly high above.


    This was a kind of predatory bird of death, specialized in feeding on the flesh and blood of the dead.


    Several ck birds flew off into the distance, entering an ancient and dpidated city.


    That was Redemption City, the only city in Redemption Land.


    It was also the ce where the various factions of Redemption Land conducted their trades, protected by the demons of Redemption Land.


    Therefore, Redemption City was considered a rtively safe ce in Redemption Land.


    However, it was only rtively safe.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor entered Redemption City; Yang Xiaotian had never seen such a ruined city before, where almost none of the buildings within the city walls were intact.


    Futhermore, the ground was not paved with whole bs of granite, but was rather a path of tiny iron fragments, uneven and pockmarked.<div>


    The entire city seemed rather quiet.


    There were few pedestrians, making it quite deste, almost like a ghost city.


    Along the street, therey several bizarrely shaped Mount Beasts.


    Yang Xiaotian, d in a light blue brocade robe, was spotless, clear as the blue sky, and out of ce amidst the surrounding ruin.


    As Yang Xiaotian walked down the streets, the passersby almost all stared at him with a strange, greedy gaze.


    Although the crowd harbored ill intentions towards Yang Xiaotian, no one dared to make the first move.


    After all, Redemption City was protected by the demons, and people were still apprehensive.


    Moreover, anyone could see that it wasn¡¯t easy for Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor to have made it this far.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian and hispanion entered Redemption City, they were stopped by arge group of people as they passed a small tavern.


    All were dressed in blood-red battle robes, upon which there was a prominent blood character.


    The character was blood-drenched, as if it had been cast in blood.


    Before entering Redemption Land, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had informed Yang Xiaotian about the situation with the various powers in thend; these people in blood-red robes were disciples of the Dragon Blood Sect, one of the five major demonic sects.


    The leader, an old man, fixed his eyes on Yang Xiaotian, shining with a cold light, and chuckled, ¡°Kid, where you from? What brings you to Redemption Land?¡±<div>


    ¡°From the Celestial Burial Academy,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied calmly, ¡°I need to enter the main peak of Thousand Demon Mountain.¡±


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian was from the Celestial Burial Academy, the old man chuckled, revealing teeth as ck ascquer, ¡°Celestial Burial Academy, eh? Great ce! That means you must be quite wealthy!¡±


    The Celestial Burial Academy was known as the most expensive academy in the Buddha Source Empire; when mentioning its students, the first impression was wealth!


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I would advise you not to make a move.¡±


    The old man chortled loudly, hisughter wild, as his gaunt hand suddenly reached for Yang Xiaotian. His ten ck fingernails turned into sharp des. Clearly, he had always soaked his hands in poison; his nails were highly toxic and anyone who touched them would be sealed off from breath.


    However, as soon as he made his move, a blindingly brilliant sword light shed and was gone.


    The old man froze, looking in disbelief at the sword thrust through his throat.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor coldly withdrew the sword, and the old man fell to the ground, dead.


    The faces of the Dragon Blood Sect disciples changed drastically, and then they scattered like birds and beasts, vanishing in the blink of an eye.


    The disciples of the other four major demonic sects also abandoned any crooked ideas they had.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor continued on their way, and shortly after crossing Redemption City, Thousand Demon Mountain was in sight.


    Thousand Demon Mountain was a gathering ce for demons, and the headquarters of all five major demonic sects of Redemption Land were located there; however, after the recent incident with the old man from the Dragon Blood Sect, no one else tried to stop or attack Yang Xiaotian and hispanion.


    After passing through numerous peaks, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion finally arrived at the main peak of Thousand Demon Mountain.<div>


    Though Thousand Demon Mountain was a gathering ce for demons, the main peak was deserted.


    For the main peak of Thousand Demon Mountain was riddled with terrifying prohibitions, that even Divine Spirits dared not enter. In fact, there had been Divine Spirits who ventured into the main peak of Thousand Demon Mountain and were never seen again; whether they were alive or dead, nobody knew.


    Yang Xiaotian asked the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor to wait outside and then, under the protection of the Medicine Cauldron, he set foot on the main peak of Thousand Demon Mountain.


    At that moment, the Buddha Youth God also led the people from Buddha Source Academy into Redemption City.

 Chapter 318: 318

    Chapter 318: 318


    After making some inquiries, Buddha Youth God and hispanions quickly learned that Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain.


    ¡°They entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain?¡± Buddha Youth God said with a mix of shock and uncertainty, ¡°What are they doing there?¡±


    The first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain is heavily restricted, and even divine spirits die upon entering.


    ¡°Sir, now that they have gone there, should we still pursue them?¡± asked the academy teacher cautiously.


    Buddha Youth God shook his head, ¡°Since they¡¯ve entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain, there¡¯s no need for us to continue chasing them.¡± He then looked around at the students of Buddha Source Academy, ¡°Everyone,plete your tasks first.¡±


    It was a mission-based training for the students of Buddha Source Academy.


    The students of Buddha Source Academy naturally didn¡¯t dare to object and respectfully agreed.


    Meanwhile, after Yang Xiaotian entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain, he carefully sensed the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Now possessing the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, he was unusually sensitive to other Divine mes within a certain range.


    Thanks to the protection of the Medicine Cauldron, Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t worried about the prohibitions attacking him. After dashing around recklessly and nearing the peak, suddenly, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire within him stirred.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    It seemed that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was indeed here.


    He quickened his pace, heading towards the mountaintop.


    However, just as he reached the top, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback to see the sky filled with Sword Qi.


    Here, there was also an Innate Sword Formation, just like the one on Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Moreover, this Innate Sword Formation seemed to be exactly the same as the one on Celestial Burial Mountain, just slightly less powerful.


    But even if it was weaker, it was still strong enough to annihte divine spirits.


    Yang Xiaotian was puzzled. Who had set up this Innate Sword Formation? The Thousand Buddha Medicine God? If it was the doings of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, what was his rtion to the Lord of Azure God from the past? How did hee to possess the Innate Sword Formation of the past Azure Lord?


    In the midst of his astonishment, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of tion.


    The Innate Sword Formation was a disaster for others, but for him, it was all benefits without harm.


    If there was an Innate Sword Formation, it was very likely there would also be an Innate Sword Spirit.


    At present, although he had congealed nine Sword Hearts, he was still far from the fourteen Sword Hearts. If he were to cultivate normally, he had no idea how long it would take for him to congeal fourteen Sword Hearts.


    He was in dire need of an Innate Sword Spirit.


    Without dy, Yang Xiaotian stepped into the Innate Sword Formation before him.


    Once inside the Innate Sword Formation, a tidal wave of Sword Qi bombarded him. Seeing the furious onught of myriad Sword Qi, Yang Xiaotian, no stranger to this scene, ignored it and continued forward, searching for an Innate Sword Spirit.


    As he advanced, Yang Xiaotian eventually found the first Innate Sword Spirit.


    Without wasting time, he used the Controlling Sword Technique to trap the Innate Sword Spirit and began to refine it.


    After congealing nine Sword Hearts, his speed at refining Innate Sword Spirits had increased a lot. In just one day, he hadpletely refined the Innate Sword Spirit.


    Afterward, he continued searching for the next Innate Sword Spirit.<div>


    Time passed.


    One day after another went by.


    Five dayster, Yang Xiaotian had finally refined all four Innate Sword Spirits within the Innate Sword Formation and passed through it to arrive at the cave dwelling of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.


    The door to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling was locked, and the lock was made of ckglow Ice.<div>


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian directly summoned the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and used it to melt the ckglow Ice Lock.


    Soon, the ckglow Ice Lock melted.


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and pushed open the doors of the cave dwelling.


    As soon as he did, he almost choked on a strong scent of elixirs; he looked and saw that the floor of the great hall was strewn with disordered medicine bottles.


    In a corner, there were many discarded elixir residues.


    The strong scent of the elixirs had been emanating from those residues.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to inspect the pile of elixir residues and was quite astonished because the pile consisted of residues from failed attempts to refine divine-grade elixirs.


    Even the residues of ordinary holy-grade elixirs had significant uses, let alone those of divine-grade elixirs.


    In the process of refining divine-grade elixirs, the ingredients used were all divine substances, and even the residues contained many of the powerful medicinal properties of these substances.


    Although they couldn¡¯t be consumed directly, they could serve as fertilizer to nurture Divine Trees, with miraculous effects.


    Yang Xiaotian collected all the elixir residues.


    If he found a Divine Tree in the future, these residues would be extremely useful.


    After collecting the mountainous pile of elixir residues, Yang Xiaotian began searching the grand hall, to see if he could find any divine-grade elixirs.<div>


    Divine-grade elixirs were not something that even the top holy pills couldpare to; no amount of top holy pills could equal the value of a single divine-grade elixir.


    In ces like the Divine Dragon Empire, no divine-grade elixirs had appeared for hundreds of years.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s disappointment, after rummaging through every corner of the grand hall, he found no trace of divine-grade elixirs.


    Yang Xiaotian could only proceed to the entrance of the second chamber.


    When he approached the entrance of the second chamber, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire within him became even more agitated, clearly indicating that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was inside this chamber.


    The doors of the second chamber were also tightly closed; however, they were not locked with ckglow Ice Lock. Instead, the doors were covered with various profound runes of a grand array.


    These runes of the grand array shone and rotated, forming an invisible force. When Yang Xiaotian touched the door, he was repelled by this invisible force.


    When Yang Xiaotian tried to use his True Yuan to st the doors open, he was sent stumbling backward, nearly flying out of the hall.


    In the end, he had no choice but to seek help from the Medicine Cauldron.


    ¡°A single mouthful of nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡± the Medicine Cauldron said.


    Seeing Master Ding taking advantage of the situation, Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    However, inparison to subduing one of the ten great divine mes, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, a single mouthful of nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was still worth it.


    Yang Xiaotian gave the Medicine Cauldron a mouthful of nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.<div>


    The Medicine Cauldron shone brightly with golden light, striking the doors withyers uponyers of golden radiance.


    Instantly, the doors sted open.


    Inside the second chamber, a mass of golden divine fire was suspended in the air, surrounded by a thousand Golden Buddha Shadows. The thousand Golden Buddha Shadows revolved endlessly around the divine fire.


    Power much more terrifying than that of the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire came crashing down towards Yang Xiaotian like a storm.


    Thud!


    It was as if the heavens and the earth had turned upside down.


    Even with the protection of the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s power, Yang Xiaotian was almost blown away.


    Shocked, Yang Xiaotian quickly deployed the Controlling Fire Technique, attempting to restrain the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, but the force of its assault far exceeded his expectations, and he couldn¡¯t contain it at all.


    In the end, it was only after the Medicine Cauldron emitted a beam of light, enveloping the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, that it was subdued.


    Even so, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire continued to pound furiously, shaking the earth to its core.


    The entire ground of the peak of Thousand Demon Mountain trembled violently.


    Even the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, standing guard outside, was trembling with fear.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian continuously deployed the Controlling Fire Technique, casting Fire Runes into the midst of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.<div>


    Back when he subdued the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, a few hours of integrating the Fire Runes of the Controlling Fire Technique had calmed the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire. However, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was much more difficult to tame than Yang Xiaotian had expected. Even after a day, it remained violently tumultuous.

 Chapter 319: 319: The Emergence of a Heavenly Elixir

    Chapter 319: The Emergence of a Heavenly Elixir


    Yang Xiaotian continuously infused the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire with Fire Runes.


    Three dayster, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire finally settled down.


    The moment the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire calmed down, Yang Xiaotian nearly copsed from exhaustion.


    Fortunately, he had cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art, and his True Yuan was exceptionally robust; otherwise, even with the help of the Medicine Cauldron, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, ranked tenth among Divine mes, was already so difficult to subdue; one could only imagine the difficulty of subduing the other top ten Divine mes.


    If he were to subdue one of the top five Divine mes, he feared he would have to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.


    For the top three, perhaps he would need to break through to the Saint Realm.


    As for the first, he might need to reach the Divine Spirit Realm.


    The road ahead was long and fraught with challenges.


    With a mixed sense of emotion, Yang Xiaotian continued to cast the Controlling Fire Technique, infusing the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire with more Fire Runes.<div>


    Several hours passed.


    He and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire finally connected their hearts and minds.


    Only then did he truly subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Yang Xiaotian extended his hand, and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire shrank and fell into his right palm.


    Meanwhile, with his left hand, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire appeared.


    With the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire in his left hand and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire in his right, one radiating thunder and the other buddha light, the two great Divine mesplemented each other, making Yang Xiaotian resemble the Nine Heavens Thunder God who had stepped out of the Buddha Kingdom.


    Looking at the two Divine mes, Yang Xiaotian thought of the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right.


    If he could gather all the Divine mes and have them swirl around his body, what a staggering sight that would be.


    If he could summon all the Divine mes, his adversaries might be scared stiff.


    Yang Xiaotian spread his hand, and the two great Divine mes took flight.


    The Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire hovered above Yang Xiaotian, with divine thunder rolling and thunder mes like a sea, while the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire floated behind him, appearing like a thousand ancient Buddha mes lingering behind him, emittingyers uponyers of buddha mes.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, now that he possessed two great Divine mes, he couldn¡¯t wait to see if he could refine a heavenly-grade Elixir.


    However, he did not rush to refine the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    The Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was a fifth-grade Elixir, and its refining process was more difficult.


    He decided to start with the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the fourteen kinds of herbs needed to refine the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid; all these herbs weremon.


    After taking out the fourteen herbs, Yang Xiaotian waved, and immediately, all fourteen herbs floated in midair. Then, the two great Divine mes flew up, heading to the space above the herbs.


    Under the control of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind, the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire first showered down a rain of fire.


    Then, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire blossomed withyers of buddha light mes, washing over the fourteen herbs repeatedly like waves of the sea.<div>


    Given the terrifying nature of the two great Divine mes, Yang Xiaotian was extremely careful in controlling them.


    Nevertheless, even though he was cautious, as the power of the mes from both the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire spread, the fourteen kinds of herbs melted almost instantly and at the same time.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian controlled the melted herbs to fuse one by one.


    Once all the herbs werepletely fused, Yang Xiaotian guiding the mes of both the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire to intertwine and condense into a huge fire cauldron.<div>


    This fire cauldron flickered with lightning, roared with divine thunder, entwined with a thousand buddhas, and was enveloped in buddha light.


    The fused liquid of the fourteen herbs dropped into this fire cauldron.


    Instantly, thunder fire and buddha fire enveloped the herbal liquid.


    Almost in an instant, radiance rose.


    Aromatic fragrance wafted through the air.


    And filled the whole cave dwelling.


    Yang Xiaotian, having refined Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for so long, had never smelled such a delightful fragrance.


    It was truly intoxicating.


    Just as the brilliance grew increasingly dazzling and the fragrance even more enchanting, suddenly, above the Nine Heavens, thunder roared, and shes of lightning appeared, as the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder descended.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    Then he remembered that when divine-grade elixirs were formed, Heavenly Tribtions would appear.


    Boom!


    In the instant that Yang Xiaotian was stunned, the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder struck down furiously.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t expect the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder to strike so abruptly and swiftly.


    Outside the summit of Thousand Demon Mountain, Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor watched the wildly striking Heavenly Tribtion Thunder in the sky, filled with shock.


    Usually, only when one at the peak of the Saint Realm broke through to the Divine Spirit Realm would a Heavenly Tribtion appear.


    Could it be that someone inside the summit of Thousand Demon Mountain was breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm?


    Wrong!


    He immediately realized that the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder this time was different from the legendary Divine Spirit Heavenly Tribtion Thunder.


    The legendary Divine Spirit Heavenly Tribtion¡¯s Thunder could not possibly be so hasty.


    Since it wasn¡¯t a Divine Spirit Heavenly Tribtion, could it be?


    The heart of Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor trembled violently, overwhelmed with excitement.


    And the many demons on the surrounding peaks of Thousand Demon Mountain also saw this astounding Heavenly Tribtion, all of them greatly shocked.


    At this moment, the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder had already struck above the Medicine Cauldron.


    The power of the Tribtion Thunder was terrifying, far beyond what Yang Xiaotian could withstand at present.


    If he couldn¡¯t resist the power of the Tribtion Thunder, the Medicine Cauldron would be instantly blown apart, and the elixir fusion within would be utterly destroyed.<div>


    Just as the Tribtion Thunder was about to explode the Medicine Cauldron, suddenly, two gigantic ws stretched out across the sky and with a single p, the Tribtion Thunder was shattered.


    The ones who took action were none other than the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin.


    Although the power of the Tribtion Thunder was strong, with their current strength in the Divine Spirit Realm, they could easily shatter it.


    Whether it was the Azure Thunder Python or the Iceme Qilin, either of them could easily withstand the Tribtion Thunder.


    After the Tribtion Thunder was shattered, the elixir fusion within the Medicine Cauldron zed with brilliance, spreading circles of azure light rippling outward.


    The fragrance of the elixir, like waves of breeze, filled every corner of the cave dwelling.


    Yang Xiaotian took a whiff, felt his mouth water, and his pores opened wide.


    The Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin were also watching the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in front of them with exceptional excitement, ¡°Heavenly quality! It¡¯s a heavenly quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    ¡°The young master has seeded!¡±


    After withstanding the power of the Heavenly Tribtion, the heavenly quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was finally created!


    The heavenly quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid waspletely different from the supreme quality one, being a pure gold color.


    The gold was pure, wless, without any impurities, pleasing to the eye, akin to a golden liquid created by Heaven and Earth itself.


    No wonder the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin were so thrilled; since the Medicine God Su Dan, the Divine Dragon Empire had not seen a heavenly quality elixir for many years.<div>


    And now, a heavenly quality elixir was finally born!


    Although it was only a heavenly quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, a heavenly quality elixir was still a heavenly quality elixir.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the heavenly quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in front of him, he let out a great sigh of relief and revealed a joyful smile.


    Indeed!


    After mastering the two Divine mes, he was finally able to refine a heavenly quality elixir.


    However, it was fortunate that the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceme Qilin were present, for, without them, he alone could not have withstood the power of the Heavenly Tribtion equivalent to the full strike of a peak Saint Realm expert.


    Yang Xiaotian safely stored away the heavenly quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and then began refining the second-tier elixir, the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    The Four Symbols Spirit Pill was more difficult andplex by many times than the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.


    Even so, half an hourter, under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s full attention, the second heavenly quality elixir was born.


    When the heavenly quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill was formed, its fragrance overflowed the cave dwelling, even the Innate Sword Formation outside could not seal off its enchanting fragrance.


    The golden radiance emitted by the elixir illuminated the entire cave dwelling with vitality.

 Chapter 320: 320: Tang Huan Wins First Place

    Chapter 320: Tang Huan Wins First ce


    Outside the mountain, Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, watching the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder strike down again, was already gobsmacked.


    As the level of the elixir being refined grows higher, the power of the Heavenly Tribtion it attracts bes stronger.


    The second Tribtion Thunder was noticeably mightier than the first.


    Inside the cave mansion, Yang Xiaotian gazed at the golden, heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill and swallowed hard; never before had he wanted to consume an elixir so badly.


    It was like facing a delicacy of the heavens, ever tempting one to take a bite.


    Such an elixir was no longer just appetizing.


    The heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill in his hand shone translucent gold, almost like it was imbued with a life of an elf.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian managed to resist and carefully stored the heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Considering how the heaven-grade elixir had triggered the Heavenly Tribtion, which was incredibly astonishing, Yang Xiaotian decided not to continue with alchemy. Instead, he continued to search the cave mansion for divine-level elixirs.


    After scouring the entire cave mansion and finding no divine-level elixirs, he did find an abundance of Alchemy Secret Manuals and scrolls, all left by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God from years past.<div>


    Looking at these Alchemy Secret Manuals and scrolls, Yang Xiaotian felt rather helpless.


    What he leastcked now were Alchemy Secret Manuals and scrolls; he had so many that he couldn¡¯t finish going through them all.


    However, among them, one scroll caught Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attention.


    In this scroll, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God recounted his experience in refining divine-level elixirs and the whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully read the scroll from beginning to end.


    It turns out that years ago, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God had refined a furnace of divine-level elixirs at the Pharmacist Hall of the Buddha Source Empire, yielding a total of two pills.


    One had been used, and the other was ced inside the Thousand Buddha Hall of the Pharmacist Hall.


    As for the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, its location would be known once that divine-level elixir was retrieved.


    ¡°Thousand Buddha Hall,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered.


    After gathering all the items, Yang Xiaotian left the cave mansion, passed through the Innate Sword Formation, and descended from the summit of Thousand Demon Mountain.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, guarding outside the mountain, saw Yang Xiaotian emerge and perked up, greeting him, ¡°Young Master!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, in high spirits, gave the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor a sacred-grade elixir, and it was of the highest quality.


    Had it not been for the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, he would not have found the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire so easily.


    Receiving the sacred-grade elixir, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was thrilled and thanked Yang Xiaotian profusely.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor left Thousand Demon Mountain and returned to Redemption City. By then, Buddha Youth God and the teachers and students of Buddha Source Academy had already left, so they did not encounter them.


    After leaving Redemption Land, Yang Xiaotian boarded the Abyssal Spaceship and flew towards Buddha Light City in the Buddha Source Empire.


    The Pharmacist Hall of the Buddha Source Empire was located in Buddha Light City.


    Standing at the bow of the ship, Yang Xiaotian took out the heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    Upon closer inspection, one could see the surface of the elixir was wrapped with awork of Thunder Patterns.<div>


    This was the symbol of a Heaven-Grade Spirit Pill having undergone one tribtion.


    Heaven-grade elixirs also have levels of their own.


    Like the Heavenly Tribtions, there are first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage tribtions.


    An elixir that has undergone a first-stage tribtion is called a first-tribtion heaven-grade Spirit Pill.<div>


    Just now, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and the Four Symbols Spirit Pill that Yang Xiaotian had refined had both undergone a first-stage tribtion to be elixirs, thus they were both first-tribtion heaven-grade Spirit Pills.


    Above the first tribtion, there are second and third tribtions.


    The highest is the ninth tribtion!


    A first-tribtion heaven-grade Spirit Pill is already beyond rare, let alone second and third tribtions.


    It¡¯s like the famous Medicine God Su Dan of the Divine Dragon Empire who could also only refine first-tribtion heaven-grade Spirit Pills.


    Yang Xiaotian, although now in control of two Divine mes, could only refine Heaven-grade elixirs of the first tribtion.


    It was impossible for him to refine Heaven-grade elixirs of the second tribtion.


    Unless he could control three Divine mes and utilize all of them at the same time in alchemy, there was a hope for him to refine Heaven-grade elixirs of the second tribtion.


    On the road, Yang Xiaotian was not idle either; he continued refining elixirs with the two Divine mes during the day.


    Now that he could refine Four Symbols Spirit Pills of Heaven grade, he started working on refining the third-grade Nine Suns Longevity Pill.


    The Nine Suns Longevity Pill was much more difficult to refine than the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.


    The first attempt did not end in sess for Yang Xiaotian.


    After numerous failures, he finally managed to draw forth the heavenly tribtion.<div>


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian began the process of refining the fourth-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    A dayter, he sessfully refined the Heaven-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian started refining the fifth-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    The Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was the highest-level elixir he could refine at present, and it was also the one he needed the most for his cultivation in the Martial Emperor Realm.


    Therefore, whether or not he could refine a Heaven-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was of utmost importance to him.


    After dozens of failures, finally, the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill also triggered a heavenly tribtion.


    Looking at the brewing Tribtion Thunder in the sky, Yang Xiaotian felt a weight lift off his shoulders and a smile appeared on his face.


    The Heaven-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was finally refined. His arduous search for the Thousand Buddha Divine me was not in vain.


    However, while the Heaven-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill had been refined, the thought of the Sword Heart gave Yang Xiaotian a headache.


    As he progressed, the Sword Heart became denser. ording to his current situation, to condense the tenth Sword Heart, he would need at least ten Innate Sword Spirits. Where could he find so many Innate Sword Spirits?


    ¡°Actually, to condense the tenth Sword Heart, you don¡¯t necessarily need to find Innate Sword Spirits,¡± the Medicine Cauldron spoke up.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°Master Ding means?¡±


    ¡°If you can fully master the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique and integrate all forty-nine moves, understanding the essence of the Heaven-Prating Sword Dao, you will be able to condense the tenth Sword Heart,¡± the Medicine Cauldron exined.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart stirred, ¡°If I find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword and fully master it,prehending the essence of the Thousand Buddha Sword Dao, would that help me condense the eleventh Sword Heart?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the Medicine Cauldron said, then added, ¡°However, you need to practice the swordsmanship of a Divine Sword for it to be effective. If it¡¯s the Heavenly Sword, or the Supreme Divine Sword Technique, the effect would be lesser.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian understood and immediately, he thought of the Thunderp Nine Heavens Sword Technique from the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.


    ¡°The Ancient Thunder God¡¯s Thunderp Nine Heavens isparable to a Divine Sword technique. However, you need to find the Ancient Thunder God Sword to truly understand the essence of its Sword Dao,¡± the Medicine Cauldron said.


    The Ancient Thunder God Sword?


    That Ancient Thunder God Sword should still be in the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.


    While Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor were on their way to Buddha Light City, Buddha Light City was in the midst of the spirited Buddha Source Pharmacist Competition.


    Tang Huan had signed up for the Buddha Source Pharmacist Competition.


    Because of Tang Huan¡¯s participation, this year¡¯s Buddha Source Pharmacist Competition was extraordinarily lively, with many sects, n experts flooding into Buddha Light City, and numerous talented pharmacists eagerly signing up.


    During thepetition, Tang Huan showcased stunning alchemy techniques, breezing through five stages and defeating six opponents, earning the astonishment of powerhouses from all directions.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived in Buddha Light City, it was already evening.


    The evening twilight, with the city bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, gave Buddha Light City an air of tranquility and harmony.


    After storing the Abyssal Spaceship, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor entered Buddha Light City.<div>


    As they entered Buddha Light City, they saw everywhere on the streets and alleys people were discussing the Pharmacist Competition that had just ended.


    ¡°The Buddha Son truly deserves to be the most talented young alchemy genius of Buddha Source, having mastered both the Space me and the Great Sea me!¡± an excited n disciple eximed as he passed by, ¡°And to use both the Space me and the Great Sea me for alchemy at the same time, it¡¯s simply a divine miracle!¡±


    ¡°Yes, the Buddha Son earning first ce in this year¡¯s Pharmacist Competition is well-deserved!¡± another n disciple eagerly agreed, ¡°In my opinion, even if Yang Xiaotian had participated in thispetition, he would definitely have lost to the Buddha Son!¡±

 Chapter 321: 321: Pharmacist Assessment

    Chapter 321: Pharmacist Assessment


    ¡°`


    ¡°Indeed, Yang Xiaotian may have mastered the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, but the Buddha Son wields the Space me and the Great Sea me. Thebined power of the Space me and the Great Sea me must surely be stronger than that of the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, Buddha Son can control two Abnormal Fires for alchemy at the same time. Such a feat is simply eye-opening, unprecedented. It¡¯s not certain that Yang Xiaotian could do the same.¡±


    Many family disciples passing by discussed among themselves.


    Yang Xiaotian heard that Buddha Son, Tang Huan, had won first ce in this Buddha Source Empire Pharmacist Competition, yet his expression remained unchanged.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget, back in Eastern Deste City some days ago, Tang Huan lost to Divine Yang!¡± At that moment, a family disciple spoke out loudly.


    ¡°If Divine Yang were to take part in this alchemypetition, the one to win first ce would certainly be Divine Yang!¡± another family disciple chimed in.


    It seemed that Yang Xiaotian did have quite a number of fans.


    Instantly, a verbal sparring match ensued between the two sides.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and walked toward the Pharmacist Hall.<div>


    However, the Thousand Buddha Hall is a critical ce within the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall, not just anyone can enter. Only pharmacists with a four-star rating and above are allowed to enter the Thousand Buddha Hall toprehend the Medicine Path.


    Therefore, before that, he must pass the four-star pharmacist assessment at the headquarters of the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall.


    As Yang Xiaotian was heading over to the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall, within a courtyard of the hall, a group of Buddha Source pharmacists held a banquet to celebrate Tang Huan winning first in the Pharmacist Competition.


    Tang Huan mingled with the crowd, amid a sea of jubnt voices andughter.


    While everyone was enjoying themselves, an attendant approached Tang Huan and whispered something in his ear.


    After hearing it, Tang Huan frowned and set down his wine cup.


    The young man in a green robe on his left noticed this and asked, ¡°Brother Tang, may I know what the matter is?¡±


    This green-robed young man was the same Buddha Source Academy student from Redemption Land who was sent flying by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Dragon Blood Fist.


    He was from the Chen Family of Zhongzhou, the second young master of the family named Chen Yuan.


    The Chen Family was also one of the super big families in the Buddha Source Empire.


    The students from Buddha Source Academy who had entered Redemption Land hadpleted their mission yesterday and had returned to Buddha Light City with the Buddha Youth God.


    Tang Huan spoke coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve seized first ce in this Pharmacist Competition, but many have their doubts, iming that Yang Xiaotian would definitely take first if he participated.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanughed dismissively, ¡°Yang Xiaotian? Who does he think he is! If his alchemy level were really that high, he wouldn¡¯t have been hiding and too scared to join the Pharmacist Competition.¡±


    Another Buddha Source Academy studentughed, ¡°Brother Chen is right. He knows his own limitations, that¡¯s why he dared not participate in the Pharmacist Competition. In my opinion, if he joined, he probably wouldn¡¯t even make it into the top ten.¡±


    The Buddha Source Academy students present allughed.


    Tang Huan¡¯s expression improved slightly as he said in a deep voice, ¡°I actually hope hees. I want to have a fair and square match with him!¡±


    ¡°I want to show them who really has the higher alchemy level between me and Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    With that, he downed a gulp of wine, his eyes fierce.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor arrived at the grand entrance of the Buddha Light City¡¯s Pharmacist Hall.<div>


    Just like the Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Dragon Empire, there was no one guarding the entrance.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanion entered.


    It was gettingte, and inside the hall, there weren¡¯t many people, just a few pharmacists in twos and threes.


    When these few saw someone entering, they couldn¡¯t help but look over.<div>


    One of them, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, had a change in his expression and then his eyes filled with killing intent, ¡°You brat, it¡¯s you!¡±


    He happened to be the young man from the Buddha Family whom Yang Xiaotian encountered in the Soul Beast Forest when he was hunting the Abyssal Master.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected to encounter the other party here.


    The youngster, a core disciple of the Buddha Family, was named Buddha Shengjie.


    He subconsciously nced at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor standing next to Yang Xiaotian; thest time, the four Saint Realm elders he had brought with him were sent flying by the Iceme Qilin, an incident that was deeply engraved in his memory.


    ¡°Who is in charge here?¡± Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t heed Buddha Shengjie¡¯s murderous gaze and spoke up, ¡°I want to participate in the Pharmacist assessment.¡±


    The other few Pharmacists were taken aback.


    ¡°You want to take the one-star Pharmacist assessment?¡± One of the two-star Pharmacists sized up Yang Xiaotian top to bottom.


    Yang Xiaotian looked to be only twelve or thirteen, an age at which many were still mere medicine apprentices.


    It was no wonder that the other party assumed Yang Xiaotian was there for the one-star Pharmacist assessment.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I want to assess for two-star Pharmacist.¡± He then took out his one-star Pharmacist identity que.


    The others were surprised to see that Yang Xiaotian was a one-star Pharmacist.<div>


    Buddha Shengjie was also greatly surprised as he looked at Yang Xiaotian, then chuckled, ¡°I am the person in charge of the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall. Kid, I didn¡¯t expect you to be a one-star Pharmacist. You want to assess for two-star Pharmacist, right? I¡¯ll proctor your assessment then.¡± Saying this, he ordered his subordinates to bring out a rusty Medicine Cauldron from the Inner Hall.


    He also took out the medicinal ingredients required to concoct the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.


    These ingredients were of extremely poor quality, many had even begun to mold.


    ¡°If you can use this Medicine Cauldron and these ingredients to refine a low-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir within an hour, I will consider you to have passed,¡± Buddha Shengjie pointed at the Medicine Cauldron and ingredients, smiling.


    The time allocated for a two-star Pharmacist assessment is three hours.


    Yet, Buddha Shengjie deliberately shortened the time to one hour!


    Even many well-known two-star Pharmacists at the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall now would be unable to refine a low-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir within an hour!


    Yang Xiaotian nced at him, suddenly spread his right hand, and instantly, an overwhelming Heaven and Earth Fire burst forth like a tsunami, rushing towards the ingredients on the ground.


    These ingredients were one by one swept into the Medicine Cauldron.


    And in a moment, all the ingredients melted into a medicinal liquid under the heat of the Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Under the control of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heaven and Earth Fire, the once rust-covered Medicine Cauldron suddenly burst into a strong glow, as if reinvigorated with life.


    The Heaven and Earth Fire, like tidal waves, carried the Medicine Cauldron up high into the sky.


    In the blink of an eye, a brilliant light shed, and the fragrance of the Elixir permeated the great hall.<div>


    A crystal-clear Elixir flew out from the Medicine Cauldron, the astonishing sound of dragons and tigers roaring vibrating through the Pharmacist Hall.


    Buddha Shengjie and hispanions werepletely stunned, looking at the crystal-clear Elixir as if they had seen a ghost.


    ¡°This is, a top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir!¡±


    A top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir, refined in just a few breaths!


    And it was done using the lowest grade Medicine Cauldron and the poorest quality ingredients!


    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Buddha Shengjie stammered in disbelief.


    ¡°Did I pass?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked indifferently.


    Buddha Shengjie looked at Yang Xiaotian, struggling to conceal his shock, but finally nodded. Just as he was about to have someone issue the two-star Pharmacist identity que to Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°No need, I also want to take the three-star Pharmacist assessment.¡±


    On the Azure God Continent, Pharmacist assessments have to be taken level by level, hence, Yang Xiaotian could only take the two and three-star assessments before proceeding to the four-star Pharmacist assessment.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to continue to the three-star Pharmacist assessment, Buddha Shengjie and hispanions were dumbfounded.

 Chapter 322: 322 Unity of Heaven and Man

    Chapter 322 Unity of Heaven and Man


    Several people all looked towards Buddha Shengjie.


    Although Buddha Shengjie was an overseer, his authority was limited to presiding over the assessments for two-star Pharmacists; he was not qualified to oversee the three-star Pharmacist assessments.


    Soon, the Senior Executor from the Medicine Hall arrived upon hearing the news.


    Upon arriving at the grand hall and seeing Yang Xiaotian, he was full of surprise and doubt, ¡°May I know how to address this young friend?¡±


    Buddha Shengjie and the others were all staring at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t bother to hide his identity.


    Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian!


    Buddha Shengjie and his cohorts were shell-shocked, looking at Yang Xiaotian as if they had been struck by thunder.


    Especially Buddha Shengjie, who was so frightened that he retreated and bumped into a stone pir behind him.


    The entire grand hall fell deathly silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.<div>


    A person¡¯s reputation, a tree¡¯s shadow!


    Now, whenever someone heard the name Yang Xiaotian, the first thing that came to mind was the two Divine Elixirs.


    What came to mind was the Nine Invincible Sword Hearts!


    What came to mind was the vision of him battling alone against the Three Thousand Emperors, pushing across the thirteen continents with a flick of his palms!


    At that moment, Tang Huan was drinking with Chen Yuan when suddenly one of his subordinates ran in panicked, reporting, ¡°Buddha Son, Yang Xiaotian has arrived!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian!


    The site instantly quieted down.


    Tang Huan¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he slowly spoke, ¡°Where is Yang Xiaotian now!¡±


    ¡°Right outside in the grand hall, he has justpleted the two-star Pharmacist assessment,¡± his subordinate hurriedly said, ¡°He took only a few breaths to refine a supreme quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir.¡±


    Just as Chen Yuan was about to mock Yang Xiaotian for participating in the low-level two-star Pharmacist assessment, he suddenly heard Tang Huan¡¯s subordinate report that Yang Xiaotian took just a few breaths to refine a supreme quality Dragon-Tiger Elixir; he burst outughing, spraying a mouthful of drink.


    The other students from Buddha Source Academy likewise spat out their drinks in shock.


    The scene was filled with drinks spraying like rain.


    Tang Huan¡¯s subordinate was drenched like a drowned rat.


    ¡°A few breaths to refine a supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixir!¡± Tang Huan¡¯s hands clenched tightly, disbelief in his eyes, unconsciously crushing the wine cup in his hand to dust.


    ¡°Yes,¡± his subordinate said with a fearful expression, upon seeing Tang Huan¡¯s fierce look, ¡°He¡¯s about to continue on to the three-star Pharmacist assessment.¡±


    Taking a deep breath, Tang Huan stood up, his gaze sharp as a knife as he abruptly flew into the sky, speeding towards the grand hall ahead.


    Chen Yuan and the group of Buddha Source Academy students all shook off their shock, dashing out of the pce and following closely behind Tang Huan towards the grand hall ahead.


    ¡°Supreme Dragon-Tiger Elixir, that¡¯s nothing impressive,¡± Chen Yuan said from behind, ¡°Even I could easily refine it.¡±


    Just then, all of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks, only to see the Heaven and Earth Fire in the void raging wildly, like a tsunamiing from the end of the skies.<div>


    Everything was converging towards the grand hall ahead.


    Shocked by the Heaven and Earth Fire engulfing the sky, Chen Yuan and the students of Buddha Source Academy froze.


    Even Tang Huan took a big startle.


    Back in Eastern Deste City, when Yang Xiaotian controlled the Heaven and Earth Fire within a ten-mile radius, it had been frightening enough, but now, this was far beyond a mere ten miles!<div>


    Tang Huan¡¯splexion turned extremely ugly.


    At that time in Eastern Deste City, it wasn¡¯t even Yang Xiaotian¡¯s limit!


    Was this Yang Xiaotian¡¯s true strength of the Soul Power?


    Seeing the epassing Heaven and Earth Fire, Tang Huan suddenly felt a sense of despair.


    He took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart and continued to fly towards the grand hall ahead.


    However, just as he was about to continue to the grand hall ahead, suddenly, nine groups of red light, akin to the sun, soared up from the hall.


    Tang Huan¡¯s eyes widened.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Nine Suns Longevity Pill! Supreme quality!¡± Chen Yuan¡¯s tongue trembled.


    Refining a supreme Nine Suns Longevity Pill wasn¡¯t anything special, but the keyy in the fact that it took only a few breaths from the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Fire to the formation of the pill!


    Yang Xiaotian, in just a few breaths, likewise refined a supreme Nine Suns Longevity Pill!


    ¡°How did he do it!¡± A Buddha Source student eximed in horror.


    He was an alchemy prodigy as well, with his Alchemy Level in the young generation of Buddha Source ranking within the top ten, yet he had never heard of anyone capable of refining a supreme Nine Suns Longevity Pill in just a few breaths.


    Let alone a three-star Pharmacist, even four-star or five-star ones couldn¡¯t do it!<div>


    In just a few breaths¡¯ time, Yang Xiaotian had melted all the ingredients of the Nine Suns Longevity Pill.


    Then, within a few more breaths, he had merged all the melted ingredients into a pill!


    But, to melt all the ingredients of the Nine Suns Longevity Pill in just a few breaths was simply impossible.


    ¡°Unless, he has already reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man!¡± he chuckled.


    Unity of Heaven and Man!


    All the students of the Buddha Source Academy were shaking violently.


    In Martial Dao, there is Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Simrly, in Medicine Path, there is Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Once one reaches Unity of Heaven and Man, they can break the shackles, defy the norms, and create miracles in alchemy that are impossible for others to achieve.


    ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man!¡± Tang Huan murmured, his eyes frozen in shock.


    ¡°Impossible, this is a realm that only a Medicine God could reach; he¡¯s just in the Emperor Realm, how could he possibly attain a realm reserved for a Medicine God!¡± one of the female disciples of the Buddha Source Academy said, shaking her head in shock.


    This was indeed too bizarre toprehend.


    No sooner had her words fallen than the dissipated Heaven and Earth Fire roared back into existence from the farthest ends of the sky.<div>


    This time, it was even stronger!


    The Heaven and Earth Fire was endless, beyond sight.


    Almost all the experts in Eastern Deste City saw the terrifying Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Unanimously, everyone in Eastern Deste City turned their gaze toward the Pharmacist Hall.


    ¡°Who is conducting such a terrifying alchemy with Heaven and Earth Fire!¡±


    ¡°Could it be the Grand Hall Master?!¡±


    After the boundless Heaven and Earth Fire poured into the Grand Medicine Hall, it wasn¡¯t long before sounds like the tolling of the evening bell and the crowing of the dawn rooster were heard from within the hall.


    The Great Hall was aze with azure radiance.


    Even theyered architecture of the hall could not hold back the brilliant azure light.


    ¡°Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, also of the finest quality!¡± Chen Yuan¡¯s voice trembled.


    First, it was the finest Dragon-Tiger Elixir, then the finest Nine Suns Longevity Pill, and now, the finest Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill!


    What woulde next?


    Everyone¡¯s hearts were trembling.<div>


    Chen Yuan and the others looked over at Tang Huan.


    Was there even a point in continuing thepetition?


    Of course, they knew what Tang Huan was hurrying to the Great Hall for.


    To have a decisive battle with Yang Xiaotian!


    To silence all those who doubted his championship this time!


    But now what?


    Was there still a point inpeting?


    Today, during the Pharmacistpetition, Tang Huan summoned the Space me and the Great Sea me, astonishing and dazzling everyone by controlling both mes simultaneously to refine the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    Yet, in the end, the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill Tang Huan produced was also only of the finest quality.


    ¡°I refuse to believe that he can also refine a Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill of the finest quality!¡± Tang Huan said through gritted teeth to Chen Yuan and the others, then he was about to continue flying toward the Great Hall.


    But just as he was about to head toward the Great Hall, suddenly, the violent Heaven and Earth Fire surged into the forefront hall once again like madness.


    Chen Yuan and the others were greatly shocked at the sight.


    Clearly, Yang Xiaotian was going to continue with the Pharmacist assessment.


    Then, the next pill Yang Xiaotian was going to refine must surely be the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    Could Yang Xiaotian refine a Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill of finest quality?


    That was everyone¡¯s first thought.


    As Chen Yuan and the others watched, the Heaven and Earth Fire continued to pour into the Great Hall.

 Chapter 323: 323 Martial Emperor City

    Chapter 323 Martial Emperor City


    Chen Yuan and everyone else grew tense.


    Even Tang Huan¡¯s entire body was taut, his heart racing wildly.


    He had never felt so anxious before.


    More anxious than that time in Eastern Deste City.


    Time passed excruciatingly slowly.


    Suddenly, a dazzling disy of purple and gold light burst forth from the great hall ahead.


    Within the purple and gold light, there seemed to be three swirling luminescent orbs.


    The radiance of the purple and gold light was so blindingly brilliant, so striking.


    Tang Huan¡¯s face turned pale.


    ¡°A Divine Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill!¡±<div>


    Only a Divine Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill could emit such dazzling light.


    All eyes from Chen Yuan¡¯s group turned toward Tang Huan.


    Although Tang Huan could also refine a Divine Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill, Yang Xiaotian had just used the Heaven and Earth Fire, and without even resorting to the Earth me, had managed to produce a Divine Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    Moreover, the time Yang Xiaotian had taken was less than a tenth of Tang Huan¡¯s.


    Who was superior and who was inferior was already crystal clear.


    Tang Huan¡¯s fists, which had been clenched tight, nowpletely rxed. Looking at the great hall so close before his eyes, he didn¡¯t even have the courage to take a step forward.


    Never before had he felt such despair.


    Thepetition hadn¡¯t even started, and he had already lost.


    He had lost.


    Lost so thoroughly.


    He had lost without even seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face.


    Dazed and spiritless, his eyes devoid of focus, he turned away and left.


    Chen Yuan and the others watched Tang Huan, who left in such a dispirited state, with mixed emotions.


    ¡°Should we go to the front hall?¡± After a while, a Buddha Source Academy student spoke up, breaking the silence.


    Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the front hall!¡±


    He wanted to see just what Yang Xiaotian, who fought alone against three thousand emperors, looked like.


    Having said that, he flew towards the great hall ahead.


    The other Buddha Source Academy students also flew toward the grand hall.


    They were equally curious about what this Yang Xiaotian, who had condensed two Divine Elixirs, actually looked like.<div>


    Now all over Buddha Source, everyone was talking about Yang Xiaotian, even saying that Yang Xiaotian had the Divine Rings on his head and Divine Clouds under his feet, looking exceptionally handsome.


    As they approached the great hall, the group of more than a dozen students from Chen Yuan¡¯s group couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous.


    Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the great hall.


    There, they saw a figure with a light blue silhouette standing in the center of the hall.<div>


    That figure, standing there devoid of any imposing aura, seemed to blendpletely with the surrounding Heaven and Earth.


    As Chen Yuan made out the features of this figure, he couldn¡¯t help but exim in astonishment, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±


    Wasn¡¯t this the kid they had encountered in Redemption Land some days ago?


    The Buddha Source students with him also recognized Yang Xiaotian, all equally astonished.


    He was Yang Xiaotian?!


    Yang Xiaotian paid no attention to Chen Yuan and the others, spreading his hand as the Divine Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pillnded in front of the Senior Executor of the Pharmacist Hall.


    The Senior Executor of the Pharmacist Hall, looking at the Divine Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill before him, found himself at a loss for words for a moment.


    At this time, Buddha Shengjie and the others had already been stunned by the scene of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s alchemy just before, standing on one side of the great hall, as if petrified.


    Eventually, Yang Xiaotian passed the assessments for a two-star, three-star, four-star, and even a five-star apothecary.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be bothered to take the five-star apothecary examination again, so this time, hepleted the assessment for a five-star apothecary as well.


    In the Azure God Continent, the qualifications of an apothecary were universal. Having the status of a five-star apothecary would make many things more convenient.


    Finally, the Senior Executor of the Pharmacist Hall presented Yang Xiaotian with a Five-Star Apothecary robe and a Five-Star Apothecary medal.


    Then they arranged the highest-grade pce amodation for Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    After that, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor settled down in a pce of the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall.


    It wasn¡¯t even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the news that Yang Xiaotian hadpleted the two-star, three-star, four-star, and even five-star apothecary assessments had already spread.


    The entire Buddha Light City was shocked.


    ¡°Less than the time for an incense stick to burn, hepleted the two-star, three-star, four-star, five-star apothecary assessments! Even a Medicine Saint couldn¡¯t possibly do that!¡±


    ¡°I heard that Yang Xiaotian has reached the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm!¡±


    ¡°Tang Huan was also at the Pharmacist Hall at that time, but he didn¡¯t even have the courage to step forward and challenge Yang Xiaotian. Later, he walked away in a daze, not daring to even face Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    The people of Buddha Light City discussed excitedly.


    Even a great many family disciples flocked to the Pharmacist Hall, all shouting Yang Xiaotian¡¯s name, all calling him Divine Yang.


    If it weren¡¯t for the experts of the Pharmacist Hall guarding the gate, these family disciples would have probably surged into the Pharmacist Hall by now.


    In a certain mansion within Buddha Light City, Yao Qingxue looked in the direction of the Pharmacist Hall, murmuring to herself, ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man.¡±


    Unity of Heaven and Man.


    That was the realm she had been pursuing all her life.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian had already reached it now.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian had already stood on a peak she could not reach.


    ¡°Goddess, do you want to meet Yang Xiaotian?¡± At this moment, her maid asked, ¡°With your status as a Goddess, if you wish to see Yang Xiaotian, he will definitely agree to meet you.¡±


    Yao Qingxue¡¯s mind was filled with the image of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s handsome face, but in the end, she shook her head and said nothing.


    Night fell deep.


    The shouting crowd of family disciples outside the Pharmacist Hall also came to a rest.


    Yang Xiaotian left his room and headed to the Thousand Buddha Hall.


    During the day, there were a few apothecaries who visited the Thousand Buddha Hall, but now it waspletely empty.


    The Thousand Buddha Hall was vast, and its walls were adorned with a thousand lifelike Buddha statues.


    Yang Xiaotian scanned the grand hall, deep in thought; if the Divine Level Elixir was hidden in the Thousand Buddha Hall, it must be in a ce where it was difficult for others to find.


    After searching for a while, he found nothing.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze settled on the cauldron furnace above the wall.


    Above the wall, in addition to the thousand Buddha statues, there was also a cauldron furnace engraved. This cauldron furnace was modeled after the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    However, being ced among the thousand Buddha statues made it seem very conspicuous.<div>


    Looking at the patterns on the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment, then with a wave of his right hand, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire appeared, and he pressed his hand carrying the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire onto the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    Suddenly, the patterns on the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron surged with a radiant glow.


    The Heavenly Buddha Cauldron spewed out two objects from within.


    One was a jade bottle.


    The other was a scroll.


    Seeing the jade bottle, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart surged with excitement, as the bottle was undoubtedly containing the Divine Elixir.


    He didn¡¯t open the jade bottle but instead started to read the scroll.


    After skimming through it quickly, Yang Xiaotian realized that the scroll indeed recorded the whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    ¡°Martial Emperor City,¡± he read aloud.


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was in Martial Emperor City.


    Without lingering, Yang Xiaotian stored the elixir and the scroll and left the Thousand Buddha Hall.


    Once back, Yang Xiaotian asked the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor about Martial Emperor City.


    ¡°Martial Emperor City?¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor expressed surprise, not sure why Yang Xiaotian suddenly brought up Martial Emperor City. He said, ¡°Martial Emperor City is in Zhongzhou, built by an ancient Martial Emperor.¡±


    ¡°The Martial Emperor and the Thousand Buddha Medicine God were contemporaries, and he was the most astonishing Great Emperor in the history of the Buddha Source Empire. His understanding of Martial Dao was extremely advanced. It¡¯s said that he made a bet with the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, and after the Medicine God lost, he left a sword in Martial Emperor City.¡±


    ¡°Some say that sword is the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, although it¡¯s unknown whether it¡¯s true or not.¡±

 Chapter 324: 324: Yan Family of the Myriad Gods Empire

    Chapter 324: Yan Family of the Myriad Gods Empire


    ¡°Oh, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God has lost the bet?¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in astonishment.


    Not only was the Medicine Path of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God extremely advanced, but his Martial Dao was also top-notch. Yet, he had lost.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor nodded, ¡°As for how he lost, it¡¯s impossible to investigate. Over the years, no one has been able to find that Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.¡±


    ¡°The tale of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword must be just a rumor then.¡±


    A rumor?


    Yang Xiaotian knew that the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was indeed in Martial Emperor City.


    ¡°My Lord, do you wish to enter Martial Emperor City?¡± asked the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor. ¡°However, Martial Emperor City is only open for one day each year. If my lord wishes to enter, you¡¯ll have to wait another three months.¡±


    ¡°Open for only one day a year?¡± Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    ¡°Yes, Martial Emperor City has many restrictive spells that automatically dissipate for one day every year. Inside, there are many steles and walls inscribed with the Martial Emperor¡¯s martial arts from his time,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor exined. ¡°On this day each year, many skilled practitioners flood into Martial Emperor City toprehend the Martial Emperor¡¯s martial arts and divine skills.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian calcted that if he went to the Soul Sea to kill the Deep Sea Demon Roc and hurried back, he would just be able to catch Martial Emperor City when it opened.<div>


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor then said, ¡°It is said that this time when Martial Emperor City opens, the Demon Sky Sword God and his disciple Wei Zongyuan will also enter.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised. Wei Zongyuan would enter Martial Emperor City too?


    ¡°My Lord, please be careful if you enter Martial Emperor City at that time,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    These days, Wei Zongyuan had been announcing to the outside world that he would challenge Yang Xiaotian again and defeat him.


    Yang Xiaotian was aware of this.


    However, if he indeed encountered Wei Zongyuan in Martial Emperor City, he would make Wei Zongyuan utterly despair.


    The next day.


    Before dawn, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor left Buddha Light City.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the Abyssal Spaceship and, with all his might, steered it toward the Soul Sea.


    Inside the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian finally opened the jade bottle containing the divine-level elixir.


    Instantly, divine light shot skyward from the jade bottle, illuminating the entire spaceship.


    Inside the bottle, there was actually a Buddha sitting cross-legged!


    A golden Buddha, radiating golden Buddha Light and divine light.


    When the golden Buddha saw the bottle open, it looked up at Yang Xiaotian. With just one nce, Yang Xiaotian felt his Divine Soul tremble and nearly lost himself.


    Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Power was strong, and he regained hisposure.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished. He had not expected the spirit of the golden Buddha that had transformed from the divine-level elixir to be so powerful.


    Nevertheless, fortunately, there were restrictions set up by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God inside the bottle, preventing the other party from escaping.


    Yang Xiaotian promptly closed the jade bottle again.<div>


    He would need this divine-level Golden Buddha Divine Elixir when he made his breakthrough to the Saint Realmter.


    Afterward, inside the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    Currently, he had mastered up to the forty-seventh move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    Only two moves were left before he could fully master the technique.<div>


    Once he returned from the Soul Sea, he would be able toplete the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique.


    On the spaceship, he practiced the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique and Thunderp Nine Heavens in the morning. In the afternoon, he refined Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills and perused the Alchemy Secret Manual left by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.


    At night, he primarily focused on the Primordial Dragon Art.


    These days, following the absorption of the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul energy, his ck Dragon Martial Spirit underwent significant changes, with its body growingrger each day.


    Moreover, the dragon scales on the ck Dragon Martial Spirit became increasingly dense and tough, while the surrounding Dark Power roiled like an ocean.


    Compared to the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, the changes in the ck Tortoise Martial Soul were somewhat smaller.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Soul Sea, dawn was just breaking.


    The morning sun shone on the surface of the Soul Sea, making it seem as though it was draped in a golden veil.


    Yang Xiaotian put away the flying ship and flew forward with the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, the Iceme Kylin, and the Azure Thunder Python.


    Outside, he hadn¡¯t felt anything unusual, but as soon as he entered the Soul Sea, he felt enveloped by a mysterious power.


    This mysterious force was intangible, yet palpable.


    The Iceme Kylin exined, ¡°This is an invisible soul force formed over millions of years in the Soul Sea. It is said that long ago, there was no Soul Sea.¡±


    ¡°Later, an unparalleled strong practitioner killed a Soul Beast, and the blood of that Soul Beast flowed into this region, merging with the sea water here, gradually forming the Soul Sea!¡±<div>


    ¡°Some say that the Soul Beast did not truly die, and that the invisible soul force of the Soul Sea is the soul power of that Soul Beast.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps after millions of years, that Soul Beast will be revived.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished by the origins of the Soul Sea.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a legend, not necessarily true,¡± the Azure Thunder Python shook its head and said.


    The two continued to fly deeper into the Soul Sea.


    Just like in the Soul Beast Forest, strong practitioners could be seen hunting Soul Beasts everywhere, to condense soul rings for their disciples.


    However, those who entered the Soul Beast Forest to hunt were almost all strong practitioners from the Buddha Source Empire and nearby empires, but the Soul Sea was different. The strong practitioners who entered the Soul Sea to hunt came from the great empires across the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Myriad Manifestation Empire!¡±


    ¡°Great Brahma Empire!¡±


    ¡°Buddha Pagoda Empire!¡±


    asionally, when they encountered experts from some of the empire¡¯s supreme sects, the Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python would share information with Yang Xiaotian about the powers and unique skills of these supreme sects.


    They also informed him of what he should be cautious about if he ever encountered these supreme sect experts in the future.


    ¡°Myriad Gods Empire! Yan Family!¡± Suddenly, the Iceme Kylin¡¯s expression turned grave as it looked at a group of strong practitioners ahead.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was also shocked.


    There were hundreds of empires on the Azure God Continent, and the Myriad Gods Empire was the strongest empire at present, bar none.


    He had also heard of the Yan Family, which was not only one of the strongest families in the Myriad Gods Empire but also one of the strongest families on the Azure God Continent.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but take a few more nces at the strong practitioners of the Yan Family.


    The Yan Family¡¯s strong practitioners were all dressed in golden battle robes, which were exceptionally eye-catching. The few elders at their forefront had an awe-inspiring divine might, and each had an aura stronger than that of the Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python.


    As Yang Xiaotian was observing the Yan Family¡¯s strong practitioners, a young man from the Yan Family said unpleasantly, ¡°Kid, what are you looking at? Keep staring, and I¡¯ll gouge out your eyes!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brow furrowed.


    ¡°Kid, do you think I¡¯m joking?¡± The young man from the Yan Family¡¯s eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move.


    Both the Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python had a cold gleam in their eyes.


    At that moment, an elder from the Yan Family spoke up, ¡°Yan Long, when you¡¯re outside, try to cause less trouble!¡±


    Only then did the young man from the Yan Family drop the matter.


    The people from the Yan Family flew away, disappearing into the sky.


    ¡°Just as expected, the disciples of the Yan Family are arrogant and domineering!¡± the Iceme Kylin said coldly.<div>


    ¡°Ever since the fall of the Lord of Azure God, the people from the Yan Family and Shen Family have be more and more unrestrained. If it wasn¡¯t for Lord Azure Bear, I¡¯m afraid the Azure God Continent would have already fallen into chaos,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said in a solemn voice.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions continued to fly forward.


    Soon, they encountered a team of strong practitioners dressed in purple battle armors.


    All these people had a very strong aura.


    Seeing this team of strong practitioners, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke with reverence, ¡°These are disciples from the Azure God Mansion!¡± Then he exined to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The Azure God Mansion is the power left behind by the Lord Azure God.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart.

 Chapter 325: 325 Ji Wudi Can’t Protect You Either

    Chapter 325 Ji Wudi Can¡¯t Protect You Either


    The Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python also looked at the disciples of the Azure God Mansion with reverence.


    Just now, even when they had seen the experts from the Yan Family of the Myriad Gods Empire, the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python did not show reverence, but now they did.


    The reason was simple: the Azure God Mansion, in a way, represented the Lord of Azure God from the past, the ruler of the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°The Azure God Mansion was founded by the Lord Azure God himself,¡± said the Iceme Kylin. ¡°It is also the strongest superpower in the Azure God Continent now.¡±


    ¡°It is precisely because the Azure God Mansion exists, and with Lord Azure Bear present, that our Azure God Continent has not descended intoplete chaos,¡± the Azure Thunder Python remarked with emotion.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°How does one be a disciple of the Azure God Mansion?¡±


    In the future, he would be the Lord of Azure God and would definitely need to take charge of the Azure God Mansion.


    The Iceme Kylin was taken aback, then said, ¡°To be a disciple of the Azure God Mansion, one must pass numerous tests and assessments of the mansion. As long as one passes the mansion¡¯s tests and assessments, they can be a disciple.¡±


    ¡°However, there is a prerequisite: one must be a Great Emperor to qualify.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, whose hopes had been kindled, was left speechless upon hearing this.<div>


    A Great Emperor?


    He was only at the first level of the Emperor Realm now, not even having broken through to the second level, and was a full neen minor realms away from the Great Emperor Realm.


    To reach the Great Emperor Realm would probably take a few more years.


    ¡°Must one be a Great Emperor to qualify?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked again, ¡°Are there any Emperor Realm or Venerable Realm experts who have joined the Azure God Mansion?¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python shook its head and said, ¡°One must be a Great Emperor to qualify. No exceptions are made for anyone, not even the most astonishing geniuses must reach the Great Emperor Realm to participate in the Azure God Mansion¡¯s tests and assessments.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but abandon the thought.


    Since that was the case, he would have to obediently cultivate until he reached the Great Emperor Realm.


    ¡°The disciples of the Azure God Mansion represent the mansion itself,¡± the Iceme Kylin exined. ¡°If they didn¡¯t have formidable strength, they simply wouldn¡¯t be able to carry out the tasks of the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    ¡°For instance, if an ancient demonic force appeared in an empire needing suppression, without formidable strength, it would be impossible to subdue it.¡±


    ¡°Thus, possessing a powerful strength is a necessity.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why the Azure God Mansion stiptes that only those above the Great Emperor level can take part in the assessments.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    The group continued their journey without stopping, flying deeper into the Soul Sea.


    Night gradually fell.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions settled on a deserted ind, nning to rest for the night and continue their journey the next day.


    They found a spot backed by a cliff and then lit a bonfire, soon the aroma of roasted meat filled the air.


    They drank and talked while enjoying their meal.


    The Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python began to introduce Yang Xiaotian to the various empires and superpowers of the Azure God Continent.


    When daylight came the next day, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions resumed their travels.<div>


    However, not long after they had started flying, they heard shouting and sounds of a fight.


    Yang Xiaotian looked toward a nearby ind from where the angry shouting and fighting noises came, intermittently, prompting him to fly towards the ind.


    As they drew closer to the ind ahead, the sounds of battle and shouting grew clearer.


    ¡°We found this Spiritual Medicine first, why should we give it up to you?¡±<div>


    An angry female voice gave rise.


    ¡°Why should you? Because I am a disciple of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect!¡± A conceited male voice responded.


    Although they hadn¡¯t yet seen what was happening, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions could already guess the general situation.


    Hearing that the other party was a disciple of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but speed up.


    Soon, they saw that on the mountainous terrain of the ind ahead, four men were besieging two women, one of whom wore the brocade robe of a Heaven-Prating Divine Sect disciple.


    Both women, d in the brocade robes of the Celestial Burial Academy, were clearly at a disadvantage and sustained serious injuries.


    Seeing that they were disciples of the Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±


    The crowd looked over and involuntarily came to a halt.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanionsnded on the mountainous ind.


    The man in the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect disciple¡¯s brocade robe looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, do you want to y the hero saving beauties?¡± He then said, ¡°I advise you to mind your own business, or else, I will p you dead with one strike!¡±


    The other men erupted inughter.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes grew cold, and with a sh of his figure, heunched a punch.


    The Heaven-Prating Divine Sect disciple was shocked, and before he could react, it was toote. He was hit in the chest by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch, sent flying through the air and smashing into a distant mountain peak, coughing up blood incessantly.<div>


    Theughter of the others stopped.


    One of the men, with cold eyes, said, ¡°Kid, which empire, which family are you from? I am the Young Master of the Chen Family from the Buddha Source Empire¡¯s Zhongzhou. Our Chen Family Ancestor is nearby, I advise you to mind your own business.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian threw another punch, hitting the man¡¯s abdomen and embedding him into the mountain wall ahead.


    The remaining two men¡¯s expressions changed.


    Yang Xiaotian walked toward the two men.


    ¡°I am Wu Fei, a disciple of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect from the Buddha Source Empire!¡± eximed the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect disciple who had been thrown earlier, shouting with feigned courage, ¡°You dare to mess with our Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, no one will be able to save you!¡±


    However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained cold as he said, ¡°Does the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect have a doctrine that allows you to bully the weak and snatch others¡¯ treasures?¡±


    The Heaven-Prating Divine Sect disciple Wu Fei angrily retorted, ¡°Kid, who do you think you are, to teach me, a disciple of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, how to behave?¡±


    ¡°ording to the rules of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, bullying the weak and robbing others of their treasures is punishable by severing both arms!¡± Yang Xiaotian waved his Burying Heaven Sword, and a streak of Sword Qi shed by. In an instant, both of Wu Fei¡¯s arms were sliced off at the roots.


    Blood spurted out.


    Wu Fei cried out in agony.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian swung his Burying Heaven Sword again, and with Sword Qi sweeping through, the remaining family disciple was also struck and sent flying away.


    ¡°You may go now,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to the two female disciples of the Celestial Burial Academy.<div>


    The two regained theirposure, and with thanks to Yang Xiaotian, they said, ¡°Thank you for your help, young master,¡± before hastily fleeing through the air.


    Watching the two female disciples of the Celestial Burial Academy escape with the Spiritual Medicine, Wu Fei¡¯s face contorted in agony, and he red at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Who are you, kid?¡±


    ¡°Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied.


    The faces of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect disciple and the other two men turned pale.


    This young man before them was Yang Xiaotian from the Celestial Burial Academy!


    If you seek revenge against me, feel free toe to the Celestial Burial Academy at any time,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly, and with the Iceme Qilin, the three of them flew away through the air.


    After a while, several figures descended.


    It was the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect Master and the Chen Family Ancestor.


    Seeing the scene before them, their faces darkened.


    ¡°Who was it?¡± roared Liu Xingyu, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect Master.


    ¡°It was Yang Xiaotian! Yang Xiaotian of the Celestial Burial Academy!¡± Wu Fei shouted angrily.


    The Chen Family Ancestor was also taken aback.


    Then, Liu Xingyu¡¯s face grew cold, ¡°What of Yang Xiaotian from the Celestial Burial Academy? Daring to injure someone from our Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, not even Ji Wudi can protect you! In a few days, we¡¯ll pay a visit to the Celestial Burial Academy!¡±<div>

 Chapter 326: 326: Finally Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Roc

    Chapter 326: Finally Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Roc


    After Yang Xiaotian and his group left, they continued to fly deeper into the Soul Sea.


    As they flew deeper into the Soul Sea, they encountered fewer and fewer powerhouses from the various empires.


    A few dayster, they finally reached the depths of the Soul Sea.


    After arriving in the deep sea of the Soul Sea, they met more and more Soul Beasts that were one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand years old, and soon, the Iceme Qilin and the other two could go no further.


    Yang Xiaotian asked the Iceme Qilin and the other two to wait for him on a deste ind while he continued to fly forward under the protection of the Medicine Cauldron.


    By the time he flew deep and far enough, he could no longer see even the two-hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts.


    Ahead, the sea stretched boundlessly.


    The Demonic Qi surged violently.


    Almost like the Hell Abyss, the visibility was so poor that one couldn¡¯t see their own fingers, and it was impossible to discern directions.


    In this ce, all sunlight vanished.<div>


    Even all colors disappeared, leaving only ck; even the sea water was ck.


    asionally, a solitary ind could be seen.


    However, the inds were barren, not a de of grass in sight.


    Even the inds were ck.


    The further forward he went, the more tumultuous the sea became, with thousand-feet-high waves smashing violently into the air from time to time.


    A terrifying, invisible force enveloped this endless expanse of sea.


    Just like when he first entered the Hell Abyss, Yang Xiaotian felt a sense of suffocation even with the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s protection.


    This suffocation came from his soul.


    Luckily, he had been consuming Soul Pills refined from the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Blood over the past few days, which significantly strengthened his Soul Power.


    Yang Xiaotian continued to fly into the deep sea and eventuallynded on a solitary ind.


    On this ind, the Demonic Qi was so thick it almost seemed unbreakable, and even the ind¡¯s rocks were as ck as obsidian, emitting a chilling ck radiance.


    ¡°This must be where the Deep Sea Demon Roc is hiding, isn¡¯t it?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    He covered the area with all his Soul Power but still could not detect the hiding ce of the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    At that moment, the Medicine Cauldron flew out.


    ¡°Hehe, little guy, are you ready?¡± the voice of the Medicine Cauldron rang out.


    Listening to the voice of the Medicine Cauldron, Yang Xiaotian had a bad feeling, sensing that the ancient relic seemed to harbor ill intentions.


    Cautiously, he brought the Primordial Dragon Art to its ultimate level and even took out the Abyssal Spaceship, standing atop it.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    No sooner had Yang Xiaotian spoken than the Medicine Cauldron started to swell at a crazy rate.<div>


    What had been a cauldron barely the height of a person suddenly swelled to the size of a mountain.


    Then, it continued to expand wildly.


    As the Medicine Cauldron grew frically, the ck Demonic Qi in the sky above the sea was shaken apart, and a terrifying column of golden light reappeared between heaven and earth.


    The golden light column sted the infinite Demonic Qi into oblivion, and the deep sea, which had been enveloped by the thick ck Demonic Qi, was instantly torn open with a fearsome hole.<div>


    The hole kept expanding.


    An overwhelmingly mighty force swept through in a frenzy.


    The surface of the Soul Sea was liftedyer byyer.


    At that moment, not only did the experts from the Myriad Gods Empire¡¯s Yan Family but also the disciples from the Azure God Mansion, witness the terrifying golden light column.


    Everyone who had entered the Soul Sea stopped in their tracks, their faces a picture of shock.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± The strongest ancestor from the Yan Family who had entered the Soul Sea also changed color with rm.


    ¡°A supreme powerhouse has entered the deepest part of the Soul Sea!¡±


    ¡°Is his target that entity in the Soul Sea?!¡±


    ¡°An epoch-shattering battle is about to begin, retreat quickly!¡±


    The elders of the families cried out in rm, leading their disciples as they scrambled to fly out of the area.


    Suddenly, one after another, the family experts fled in panic, seeking to escape the Soul Sea.


    Even the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect Master Liu Xingyu, upon seeing the terrifying golden light column, hastily fled with his disciples, including Wu Fei.


    The golden terrify light column grew stronger and stronger, waves of golden light spreading out like ripples, affecting one sea region after another.<div>


    It seemed that the entire sea of souls and the deep sea surface were feeling the overpowering force of the Medicine Cauldron, as the surface of the sea began to rise crazily, inting continuously like the Abyssal Master had once burst through the ground of the Hell Abyss. Now, the surface of the soul sea and the deep sea was also bursting.


    Yang Xiaotian was the first to spot two gigantic wings emerging from the sea!


    The immense size of these wings was beyond Yang Xiaotian¡¯s description.


    When the two gigantic wings spread out, they covered the boundless sea regions, flipping entire isted inds into the air.


    The isted inds had beenrge enough, with someparable to an Imperial Capital, yet now they seemed as tiny as pimples in front of these massive wings.


    It was as if they were merely pimples growing on the two gigantic wings.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    The Deep Sea Demon Roc, with just its two pairs of wings, was already so colossal.


    If its entire body were to be revealed, one could only imagine howrge it would be.


    The two gigantic wings continued to rise upwards.


    Demonic Qi was boundless.


    The Demonic Qi, which had already been scattered by the golden waves of the Medicine Cauldron, rose to the skies again, trying to cover the sun once more.


    After both gigantic wings had emerged from the sea, the true body of the Deep Sea Demon Roc finally appeared before Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    The body of the Abyssal Master had filled the entire Hell Abyss, and now the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s body, emerging above the sea, seemed to upy the entire deep sea region!


    It appeared as though the entire deep sea region could not contain its body.


    If one were to speak solely of the body, the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s seemed slightlyrger.


    Because of its two incrediblyrge wings, once unfurled, they resembled mountain ranges stretching across the vast sea.


    The eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Roc were blood red too, like two massive blood-red inds.


    Seeing the true body of the Deep Sea Demon Roc finally appear, the Medicine Cauldron wasted no time and bombarded the giant head of the Deep Sea Demon Roc withyers of golden light.


    Boom!


    It was an earth-shaking bang.


    The entire Soul Sea trembled violently.


    Fearful waves exploded, lifting countless tons of water.


    Ind after ind was flipped into the air, all exploding into dust and sand.


    Dust mixed with waves, roaring into the sky, covering countless miles of high-altitude space over the Soul Sea.


    The fleeing powerhouses from various empires witnessed this apocalyptic scene and were all horrified.<div>


    Even the strongest ancestor from the Yan Family of the Myriad Gods Empire trembled in spirit.


    Under the strike of the Medicine Cauldron, the Deep Sea Demon Roc was sted away, its body flying across an unknown expanse of sea.


    The Deep Sea Demon Roc let out a pitiful, agonized scream.


    Its sharp howl echoed throughout the Soul Sea.


    It made the minds of many powerhouses within the Soul Sea feel like splitting apart.


    Roar!


    The gigantic wings of the Deep Sea Demon Roc suddenly shed towards the Medicine Cauldron.


    They were like two des that could cleave the sky itself, cutting throughyers of the void, and with the power of destruction, struck the golden light column of the Medicine Cauldron.


    With a towering explosion, the Medicine Cauldron was knocked away.


    The huge wings of the Demon Roc continued to fall, cleaving the surface of the Soul Sea.


    In an instant, waves tens of thousands of feet high exploded into the air, and as the wings passed by, all inds were split in two, all of the sea¡¯s surface was divided, and from a distance, the surface appeared scarred with two permanent, enormous wounds.


    After being knocked away, the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s golden light surged once more, reaching the pinnacle of the force of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and struck the Deep Sea Demon Roc again.


    The speed of the Medicine Cauldron was astoundingly fast, manifesting only as a shocking golden column of light.


    Like a giant column of golden light, it bombarded the true body of the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    With a heaven-shaking bang, the Deep Sea Demon Roc was once again sted up into the air.

 Chapter 327: 327: The Second 1,000,000-year Soul Ring

    Chapter 327: The Second 1,000,000-year Soul Ring


    The Deep Sea Demon Roc was flung into the air, and countless inds were crushed to bits.


    Yang Xiaotian was shaken violently, smashing through one ind peak after another.


    Although he had already witnessed the great battle between the Medicine Cauldron and the Abyssal Master, the sight still left Yang Xiaotian utterly stunned.


    With a single move, the force stirred up countless miles of the sea area, and countless inds were destroyed. Such power was truly magnificent.


    After being flung away again, the Deep Sea Demon Roc let out a skyward howl that transformed into a terrifying sonic force, like a super storm, bludgeoning the Medicine Cauldron over and over.


    The frightful sonic force kept engulfing the Medicine Cauldron wave after wave.


    Wherever the sonic force passed, the sea surface waspletely leveled.


    Boom Boom Boom!


    A series of dense and heavy strikes resounded like thunderous drums, leaving all the mighty beings within the Soul Sea dazed and confused.


    However, despite the terrifying power of the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s howls, it still could not break the golden light column of the Medicine Cauldron.<div>


    The Medicine Cauldron readied itself once more andunched an attack at the Deep Sea Demon Roc again. It didn¡¯t disy any Divine Skills; every strike was pure force.


    With strength that could shake Heaven and Earth, it bombarded the Deep Sea Demon Roc time and again.


    The Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s body was toorge, and although it was also fast, it was much slowerpared to the Medicine Cauldron, thus it couldn¡¯t avoid the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s assault.


    Blood dyed the Soul Sea red.


    What was once a ck sea had turned a bloody red.


    Looking at the blood reddening the Soul Sea, Yang Xiaotian felt a twinge of pain; this was the beast blood of a Deep Sea Demon Roc that had lived for more than a million years, every drop was precious.


    The battle raged on.


    What the Medicine Cauldron hadn¡¯t expected was that although the Deep Sea Demon Roc wasn¡¯t as ancient as the Abyssal Master, its strength in the Soul Sea was not much weaker, and this Demon Roc Beast was not just a million but one and a half million years old.


    The Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s defense was not inferior to that of the Abyssal Master; its entire Beast Skin was extremely smooth, repelling arge part of the force when attacked.


    Therefore, killing the Deep Sea Demon Roc was as difficult as killing the Abyssal Master.


    Fortunately, there was an ample amount of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water. It sustained the Medicine Cauldron with a constant supply of power.


    Yang Xiaotian did his utmost to closely watch the battle between the Medicine Cauldron and the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    In the continuing fight, finally, the Deep Sea Demon Roc began to falter.


    Although its defense was strong, the Medicine Cauldron focused its attacks on its head, which was the weakest point.


    The head of the Deep Sea Demon Roc was left a bloody, unrecognizable mess from the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s bombardment.


    A horrific cavern had been sted into its head.


    Boom!


    Atst, after a particrly powerful strike from the Medicine Cauldron, the Deep Sea Demon Roc was flung deep into the Soul Sea, struggling to rise but no longer able to muster the strength.


    Seeing this, the Medicine Cauldron breathed a sigh of relief, but it struck down once again, burying the Deep Sea Demon Roc deep within the Soul Sea.<div>


    Watching the Deep Sea Demon Roc gasping for life, with no strength left to retaliate, Yang Xiaotian flew towards it.


    ¡°The Beast Soul of the Deep Sea Demon Roc has been around for one and a half million years. While it may notpare to the Abyssal Master, you must still be extremely careful when you absorb it,¡± said the Medicine Cauldron, returning to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Thinking back to the non-human agony he endured while absorbing the Abyssal Master¡¯s Beast Soul, he took a deep breath and positioned himself above the head of the Deep Sea Demon Roc.<div>


    At that moment, a massive ck light sphere burst out from within the Demon Roc¡¯s head.


    Seeing this huge ck orb, Yang Xiaotian of course knew what it was. He quickly sat down cross-legged and summoned his ck Tortoise Martial Soul.


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul opened its enormous mouth and began to swallow the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s Beast Soul.


    Instantly, the overwhelming energy of the Demon Roc Beast Soul surged into the ck Tortoise Martial Soul like the wild waves of the Soul Sea.


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul¡¯s radiance surged incessantly.


    The sensation of pain came again.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly circted the Primordial Dragon Art, speeding up the absorption by the ck Tortoise Martial Soul, slightly easing the pain. However, under the frenzied infusion of energy from the Deep Sea Demon Roc Beast Soul, the ck Tortoise Martial Soul continued to swell.


    The feeling of his soul being torn apart returned, growing more and more intense, so much so that Yang Xiaotian nearly lost consciousness.


    But just as the ck Tortoise Martial Soul was continuously expanded, the mysterious patterns on its shell began to flicker with light. With each flicker, the energy from the Deep Sea Demon Roc Beast Soul eased.


    That inhuman sensation of pain also momentarily eased.


    No matter how wildly the energy of the Deep Sea Demon Roc Beast Soul was infused, the ck Tortoise Martial Soul did not show any cracks, even after expanding tenfold, twentyfold!


    It did not burst.


    The defensive toughness of the ck Tortoise Martial Soul¡¯s entire body was beyond imagination.<div>


    The mysterious patterns on the turtle shell surged with light. With each surge, a mysterious force flowed to every corner of the ck Tortoise¡¯s body, strengthening its defenses and making them even more robust.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart rxed a bit. He clenched his teeth and persisted in circting the Primordial Dragon Art over and over.


    Finally, the massive Demon Roc Beast Soul, vast as the sea, began to shrink.


    With each contraction, the pain in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s soul lightened.


    Meanwhile, the ck Tortoise Martial Soul radiated even more intensely, with ck cold air roaring around it, encasing everything in the vicinity of the Soul Sea in ayer of ck ice.


    The Demon Roc Beast Soul continued to shrink.


    The previously expanded ck Tortoise Martial Soul finally began to slowly recover.


    Atst, around the ck Tortoise Martial Soul, a circle of light appeared, the Soul Ring.


    Just like the ck Dragon Martial Spirit¡¯s Soul Ring, it was also a golden-red color.


    And beside the circle, another faint golden-red light circle materialized.


    The Demon Roc Beast Soul was one million and five hundred thousand years old, hence the second golden-red circle was very faint.


    As the Soul Ring of the ck Tortoise Martial Soul condensed, a violent divine presence rampaged and surged wildly.


    This divine presence, which belonged to the Deep Sea Demon Roc itself, made all the Soul Beasts in the Soul Sea tremble and prostrate in fear and panic.<div>


    In the end, the shrinking Demon Roc Beast Soul turned into a beam of light and merged with the ck Tortoise Martial Soul.


    With that, the second Soul Ring was finally condensed!


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul and the ck Dragon Martial Spirit coiled above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, both the over-a-million-year Soul Rings shining withyers of golden-red light, illuminating vast areas of the deep sea within the Soul Sea.


    Above in the high skies, the winds and clouds changed.


    Thunder roared and lightning shed.


    As if heralding the birth of two over-a-million-year Soul Rings in the Martial Soul World!


    The birth of two over-a-million-year Soul Rings caused Heaven and Earth to change color.


    Throughout the countless years of the Martial Soul World¡¯s history, no one had ever condensed two over-a-million-year Soul Rings, and now, Yang Xiaotian had broken the ancient legends of the Martial Soul World, creating this unbelievable Divine Miracle.


    Under the illumination of the two great Soul Rings, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body seemed to be enveloped inyers of golden-red light as well.


    And Yang Xiaotian¡¯s realm also broke through smoothly to the second tier of Martial Emperor.


    Feeling the immense power bestowed by the two great Soul Rings, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch that sent a gold and red punch force tearing throughyer afteryer of the sea surface, reaching the very end of the sea.


    It took a long time for Yang Xiaotian to retract the two great Martial Souls back into his body.


    The gold and red radiance enveloping the deep sea of the Soul Sea disappeared.<div>


    Only then did Heaven and Earth gradually return to normal.

 Chapter 328: 328: Ten Invincible Sword Hearts

    Chapter 328: Ten Invincible Sword Hearts


    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡±


    ¡°With the addition of two million-year Soul Rings, you are now more than capable of sweeping through all the Emperor Realm.¡± Medicine Cauldron praised.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s realm was too low at the moment, preventing him from fully activating the power of the million-year Soul Rings. However, even so, with the enhancement from the two million-year Soul Rings, Xiaotian was more than capable of sweeping through all experts of the Emperor Realm.


    In the future, as Yang Xiaotian continued to advance in realm, he would gradually be able to exert the power of the million-year Soul Rings.


    Once Yang Xiaotian stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm, he would be able to unleash the full power of the million-year Soul Rings¡ªthen, he would smite gods as if they were gods, and Buddhas as if they were Buddhas!


    Yang Xiaotian stood before the true body of the Deep Sea Demon Roc, his heart racing as he looked upon a body evenrger than that of the Abyssal Master.


    Although the Deep Sea Demon Roc had lost much of its blood, the remaining blood was still enough for him to refine many, many Demon Roc Soul Pills, enough to elevate his soul power to an astonishing level.


    He ced the true body of the Deep Sea Demon Roc into the Medicine Cauldron.


    However, looking at the now-empty Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian was truly at a loss for words.


    Previously, he had acquired over two hundred vessels of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water in the Azure God Cave Mansion. Now, only one vessel remained!<div>


    Just one vessel!


    Each drop of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water could revive the dead and had incredible medicinal effects. Losing over two hundred vessels of it, Xiaotian couldn¡¯t deny that it pained his heart.


    ¡°Just over two hundred vessels of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, we can find moreter,¡± Medicine Cauldron said with a smile.


    ¡°Just over two hundred vessels?¡± Yang Xiaotian retorted indignantly, ¡°You try finding over two hundred vessels of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Medicine Cauldronughed and said, ¡°For two hundred vessels of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water in exchange for two million-year Soul Rings, this is a worthwhile transaction.¡± Then he added, ¡°Give me thatst vessel of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, and I will help you deal with Wu Peng from the Sky-Stepping Sect.¡±


    Seeing that Medicine Cauldron still had his sights set on thest vessel of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian refused to agree no matter what.


    He would deal with Wu Peng from the Sky-Stepping Sect himself.


    When he returned to the Divine Dragon Empire, that would be the time to deal with the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Yang Xiaotian swiftly left the deep sea and then found the three members of the Iceme Kylin.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, the three who were immensely anxious were overjoyed.


    ¡°Young Master, have you already¡­?¡± Iceme Kylin asked Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, ¡°I have seeded.¡±


    The Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python were ecstatic.


    ¡°Congrattions, Young Master, on condensing your second million-year Soul Ring!¡± Both bowed deeply, filled with excitement.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was dumbfounded.


    At this moment, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was not yet aware that Yang Xiaotian had already condensed the Abyssal Master¡¯s Soul Ring.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian found a deserted ind and used the bones and skin of the Deep Sea Demon Roc to refine the Abyssal Spaceship once more.


    After being refined again, the Abyssal Spaceship had even stronger Demonic Qi and chilling cold, and its appearance transformed once again.


    Meanwhile, as Yang Xiaotian was refining the Abyssal Spaceship, all the experts of the Empires in the Soul Sea watched towards the deep sea of the Soul Sea with unsettled spirits.<div>


    ¡°Grandfather, should we enter the deep sea to take a look?¡± The anxious Yan Long, the Young Master of the Yan Family, looked towards the deep sea, his eyes flickering with greedy mes.


    The Yan Family¡¯s old ancestor Yan Bi gazed in the direction of the deep sea of the Soul Sea, feeling a burning desire within. However, after careful consideration, he shook his head, dismissing the idea of going to the deep sea to explore.


    No one knew the current situation in the deep sea of the Soul Sea; if they went rashly, they wouldn¡¯t even know how they might die.


    Yan Long couldn¡¯t help but show a disappointed expression.<div>


    Yan Bi nced at Yan Long, knowing the ambition of his grandson and said, ¡°One must think thrice before acting. Right now, what¡¯s most important for you is to practice diligently, striving to break through to the Great Emperor Realm as soon as possible, and then take the Azure God Mansion¡¯s assessment to join the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    ¡°Joining the Azure God Mansion, that¡¯s what matters most.¡±


    Yan Long nodded gravely, ¡°Grandfather, rest assured, I will definitely pass the Azure God Mansion¡¯s assessment and join the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    ¡°I am certain that Lord Azure Bear will notice me and choose me as a Divine Selected Disciple!¡±


    The position of the master of the Azure God Continent had been vacant for many years, therefore, Azure Bear intended to nurture a new master for the Azure God Continent. Any disciple chosen by Azure Bear was known as a Divine Selected Disciple.


    Like the Yan Family¡¯s old ancestor Yan Bi, experts from all the great empires of the Azure God Continent, although desiring to explore the Deep Sea of the Soul Sea, ultimately did not dare to enter it.


    After all, the deterrence of the Deep Sea Demon Roc was too strong; no one dared to trespass into its domain.


    After Yang Xiaotian had re-refined the Abyssal Spaceship, he, along with the Iceme Kylin and the three others, left the Soul Sea and then piloted the Abyssal Spaceship towards Zhongzhou of the Buddha Source Empire.


    The Martial Emperor City of Zhongzhou was about to open, and no matter what it took, he had to obtain the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    On the spaceship, he didn¡¯t idle away either, beginning to practice the forty-eighth move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, ¡°Sword Points to the Nine Realms.¡±


    With a single stroke from Yang Xiaotian, the Sword Qi formed a rainbow, parting the heavy clouds, piercing throughyers of void, and pointing directly to the sky. This stroke seemed as if it could pierce through the nine realms of Heaven and Earth.


    Several dayster, he finally mastered the move ¡°Sword Points to the Nine Realms.¡±


    Then, he began to practice the forty-ninth move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, ¡°One Sword Seals the Divine.¡±<div>


    ¡°One Sword Seals the Divine¡± was thest move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique and also the most powerful. It was extremely profound; with one stroke, Sword Qi filled the skies and earth, all demons retreated, and all gods were startled.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully reviewed the move ¡°One Sword Seals the Divine¡± once more before executing it.


    With one stroke, the Sword Qi brightly traversed the void, unexpectedly drawing thunder and lightning.


    Yang Xiaotian continued to strike, and the thunder grew louder, the lightning denser.


    With the third stroke from Yang Xiaotian, all sorts of extraordinary phenomena appeared in the void.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian practiced thest move of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique over and over again,prehending deeper mysteries of ¡°One Sword Seals the Divine.¡±


    Finally, half a monthter, Yang Xiaotian mastered the final move.


    With one stroke, the thunder exploded violently, Sword Qi howled, as if thousands of gods were weeping, and the Heaven and Earth itself seemed to be in retreat.


    Having mastered thest move, Yang Xiaotian began practicing from the first to the forty-ninth move. Previously, he had never practiced the forty-nine moves of the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique in session. Now, executing them coherently, he gained a deeper understanding of the Heaven-Prating Sword Dao.


    In this way, Yang Xiaotian continued to perform the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique over and over, constantlyprehending the Heaven-Prating Sword Dao.


    He entered a profound and inscrutable state.


    His entire being seemed to merge with the heavens, with the sword, bing one.


    The affairs of the Nine Realms were no longer of his concern; his heart was filled only with the sword, only with the Heaven-Prating Sword Dao.<div>


    The nine Sword Hearts in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest glowed ceaselessly, with the tenth Sword Heart beginning to emerge, faintly at first but growing ever stronger.


    One day, while the Iceme Kylin and Azure Thunder Python were guarding the prow of the spaceship, suddenly, a terrifying Sword Dao power surged to the skies, dispersing the clouds.


    Ten beams of multicolored Sword Qi swept across with the might to obliterate gods and demons, scouring the Nine Heavens and Earth.


    Seeing the ten beams of multicolored Sword Qi, the Iceme Kylin and the others were inwardly shaken.


    ¡°Ten Sword Hearts!¡±


    Through repeatedprehension of the Heaven-Prating Sword Dao, Yang Xiaotian had finally condensed the tenth Invincible Sword Heart!


    Nine Sword Hearts were rare through the ages.


    What about ten?


    It was stunning to the ages, astonishing to the divine!


    Even some Sword Gods were unable to condense ten Invincible Sword Hearts.

 Chapter 329: 329: The Opening of Martial Emperor City

    Chapter 329: The Opening of Martial Emperor City


    Watching the ten nine-colored Sword Qi from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Hearts, the three Iceme Qilins were shaken and could hardly contain their excitement.


    These were ten Sword Hearts!


    And they were the invincible Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    Ten of them!


    On the Azure God Continent, geniuses are many, but throughout the ages, it had been extremely rare to see someone forge nine Sword Hearts, let alone ten.


    The three remained shocked for a long time.


    Eventually, the ten nine-colored Sword Qi dissipated, and the invincible power that shrouded heaven and earth slowly vanished.


    Yang Xiaotian emerged from the secret chamber.


    The three excitedly approached Yang Xiaotian and bowed, ¡°Congrattions to the young master for forging ten Sword Hearts. You are unparalleled!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian asked them to rise, feeling excitement that he also could scarcely suppress.<div>


    Atst, he had forged ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.


    Generally speaking, ten Sword Hearts were considered the pinnacle.


    Many monstrous Sword Dao geniuses, even if they spent their entire lives striving, could only forge ten Sword Hearts.


    And now, he had reached the realm that so many Sword Dao geniuses would spend their entire lives trying to achieve.


    ted, Yang Xiaotian took out three saint-level Elixirs and gave one to each of them.


    Once again, the three thanked Yang Xiaotian profusely.


    Especially the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, who was even more indebted to Yang Xiaotian.


    Having been a Demigod already, he had followed Yang Xiaotian for some time, practicing with saint-level Elixirs, and had long reached the peak of the Demigod level, now with one more saint-level Elixir, his breakthrough to Divine Spirit was within reach.


    After that, on the way, Yang Xiaotian began practicing Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    Instantly, Sword Qi lit up the Nine Heavens once again.


    The Divine Thunder rolled, vast as the sea.


    Half a monthter, Yang Xiaotian had also sessfully mastered all forty-nine moves of Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    From beginning to end, Yang Xiaotian practiced Thunderp Nine Heavens, delving into the Divine Thunder Sword Path.


    Once he had fullyprehended the Divine Thunder Sword Path, he would have the prospect of forging an eleventh Sword Heart!


    However, without the Ancient Thunder God Sword, he always felt as though there was a thin veil preventing him from truly understanding the Divine Thunder Sword Path.


    Actually, even without the Ancient Thunder God Sword, he could still fullyprehend the Divine Thunder Sword Path, it would just take longer, perhaps three or four years.


    But with the Ancient Thunder God Sword, it might just take a few days to fully grasp the Divine Thunder Sword Path.


    Thus, when he got the chance in the future, he would have to return to the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion to see if he could find the Ancient Thunder God Sword.


    Unable to fully grasp the Divine Thunder Sword Path, Yang Xiaotian began browsing through the Alchemy Secret Manual and Artifact Refining Secret Tome of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.<div>


    Typically, an alchemy expert is also an artifact refining expert. The cave mansion of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God contained several Secret Tomes of artifact refining as well.


    So, in his spare moments, Yang Xiaotian attempted to control the two Divine mes and refine divine-grade weapons.


    One day, as Yang Xiaotian was perusing an Artifact Refining Secret Tome, the Iceme Qilin came to report that Martial Emperor City in Zhongzhou was close.


    Yang Xiaotian came out of the secret chamber and saw rolling hills in the distance. Beyond the countlessyers of hills, there was an extremely majestic city.<div>


    That was Martial Emperor City.


    The ancient Martial Emperor, proimed by many strong beings in the Buddha Source Empire as the once-in-an-eternity emperor.


    The Martial Arts left behind by the Martial Emperor were, of course, extremely extraordinary.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived in Martial Emperor City, he saw that the surrounding hillocks were swarming with people.


    The opening of Martial Emperor City attracted almost all the experts from the major superpowers in Buddha Source Empire.


    Not only from Buddha Source Empire, but experts from surrounding empires also came.


    Looking at the teeming sea of people, buzzing with voices, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, no wonder the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said that each year the opening of Martial Emperor City was extremely chaotic, there were simply too many people, and conflict was inevitable.


    Since there were a few hours left until the opening of Martial Emperor City, Yang Xiaotian decided to sit on a nearby peak to quietly await the opening.


    The sea of people suddenly stirred.


    ¡°The Buddha Son and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess have arrived!¡±


    Arge group of masters appeared from the distance, breaking through the air.


    At the forefront were none other than the Buddha Son Tang Huan and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess Yao Qingxue.


    ¡°The Buddha Son!¡±<div>


    ¡°The Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess!¡±


    Within the sea of people, some excitedly shouted.


    Although in Buddha Light City, Tang Huan did not even have the courage to step up and challenge Yang Xiaotian in the Medicine Path, it did not prevent the disciples of Buddha Source Empire from worshiping Tang Huan fervently.


    Ignoring the excitement of the crowd, Tang Huan¡¯s eyes swept across the area, searching for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure; Yang Xiaotian should being to the opening of Martial Emperor City, right?


    Thinking of the scene at the Pharmacist Hall in Buddha Light City, Tang Huan¡¯s fists clenched tightly.


    He swore that if he encountered Yang Xiaotian again this time, he must defeat him.


    To utterly defeat Yang Xiaotian in front of all the mighty ones gathered!


    Only by doing so could he restore the might of the Buddha Son.


    Otherwise, it would be a stain in his life.


    As Tang Huan searched for Yang Xiaotian, Yao Qingxue was also scanning the crowd, her heart faintly hoping for the appearance of that pale blue figure.


    Not long after Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue arrived, the Demon Sky Sword God and Wei Zongyuan also arrived one after another.


    The arrival of the Demon Sky Sword God and Wei Zongyuan likewise caused a massive sensation.


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Soul Ring has evolved to a hundred thousand years!¡±<div>


    ¡°What! A hundred thousand years? How is that possible!¡±


    When the news that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s ny-nine thousand year Soul Ring had evolved to a hundred thousand years broke out, the sea of people boiled over.


    Everyone was shocked and incredulous.


    To know even the Demon Sky Sword God did not have a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring when he condensed his, but Wei Zongyuan managed to reach a hundred thousand years?


    ¡°Absolutely true! It¡¯s said that the Demon Sky Sword God took him to an ancient ce, and after going through life-and-death ordeals, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Soul Ring finally evolved to a hundred thousand years!¡± a master eximed excitedly.


    ¡°Some say Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring is also a hundred thousand years, is that true or false?¡±


    ¡°No one has seen Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring; I suspect it may not be a hundred thousand years.¡±


    In the sea of people, everyone was arguing endlessly.


    After the arrival of the Demon Sky Sword God and Wei Zongyuan, it wasn¡¯t long before the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect Master Liu Xingyu arrived with his disciple Wu Fei.


    Apanying Liu Xingyu were also a group of masters from the Chen Family of Zhongzhou.


    The arrival of Liu Xingyu and Wu Fei also caused the crowd to look on and stir violently.


    Everyone knew that the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was one of the mightiest behemoths in Martial Soul World, with the Zhongzhou branch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect still standing above all the major superpowers of the Buddha Source Empire.


    ¡°It¡¯s unknown how Yang Xiaotian offended the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, but Liu Xingyu has issued harsh words, demanding that the Celestial Burial Academy hand Yang Xiaotian over!¡±<div>


    ¡°What, Yang Xiaotian has offended the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect? The Celestial Burial Academy will definitely protect him, right? Now there will be a good show to watch.¡±


    The crowd was abuzz with chatter.


    The one discussed the most was naturally Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian remained calm in the face of the discussions around him.


    Hours passed, and finally, the lights around Martial Emperor City surged, and the light barrier that had enveloped it vanished in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Martial Emperor City has opened!¡±


    Immediately, the sea of people rushed frantically into Martial Emperor City.


    The wide gates of Martial Emperor City felt like they were about to burst from the pressure.


    Screams and roars erupted in session.


    The weak were kicked flying, crushed, and trampled to death.


    After a while, when things settled down, Yang Xiaotian rose into the air and, along with two others and the Iceme Qilin, entered Martial Emperor City.

 Chapter 330: 330: Comprehending the Martial Scriptures

    Chapter 330: Comprehending the Martial Scriptures


    ¡°`


    Although there were still many people, with the three Iceme Qilins present, the group smoothly entered Martial Emperor City.


    Martial Emperor City was extremelyrge, almost like a small continent.


    The Thousand Buddha Medicine God had only mentioned that the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was located within Martial Emperor City, without specifying the exact location, so Yang Xiaotian needed to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword himself.


    However, given the vast size of Martial Emperor City, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    ¡°Do you know where the Thousand Buddha Medicine God and the Martial Emperor made their wager back in the day?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the three Iceme Qilins.


    The Iceme Qilins and the Azure Thunder Python shook their heads.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke, ¡°Time has passed too long, and it¡¯s beyond tracing.¡± After pondering, he continued, ¡°It should be somewhere around the Hall of Martial Scriptures and the Medicine God Hall.¡±


    He exined, ¡°The Hall of Martial Scriptures is where the Martial Emperor spent most of his time, and the Medicine God Hall is where the Medicine God stayed for a long period in the past.¡±


    After some thought, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Then let¡¯s head to the Hall of Martial Scriptures first.¡± After speaking, he and the three Iceme Qilins set out for the Hall of Martial Scriptures.<div>


    Consequently, with the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor leading the way, several people flew towards the Hall of Martial Scriptures.


    There were numerous pces in Martial Emperor City, totaling in the hundreds of thousands.


    Fortunately, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had visited Martial Emperor City multiple times and easily guided Yang Xiaotian and the others to the Hall of Martial Scriptures.


    The Hall of Martial Scriptures was immenselyrge; its grand hall could amodate a hundred thousand people, making individuals seem minuscule inside it.


    Around the walls of the grand hall, there were all sorts of martial arts depicted.


    But, there was only imagery, no text.


    This was the collection of martial scriptures left by the Martial Emperor.


    The martial scriptures were indeed a strange book.


    Many geniuses observed the martial scriptures, each gaining different insights.


    Within the martial scriptures, there was no swordsmanship, no technique for the de, nor was there boxing or palm techniques.


    Just a series of odd and peculiar images.


    Yet, some Sword Dao geniuses hadprehended a set of Supreme Divine Sword Techniques from these images.


    Some de Dao geniuses had also deduced Supreme Divine de Techniques from these images.


    It is said that the Death Shapeless Sword Technique, the supreme sword technique of Buddha Source Academy, wasprehended by a certain headmaster of Buddha Source from these images.


    The Death Shapeless Sword Technique has now be one of the most powerful Supreme Divine Powers of Buddha Source Academy.


    When Yang Xiaotian and the others entered the grand hall, hundreds were already contemting the martial scriptures on the walls.


    Everyone was fully engrossed in studying the images, so when Yang Xiaotian and his group came in, no one paid them any attention.


    Yang Xiaotian casually walked up to the first image.


    He and the Iceme Qilins began to examine these martial scripture images.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian looked quite rapidly, finishing the first image in a few breaths, then moving on to the second, and after a few more breaths, he proceeded to the third image.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian had already viewed the twentieth image.


    An elder from the grand hall who saw Yang Xiaotian rapidly skimming through the martial scripture images frowned, ¡°Young man, with the way you¡¯re studying the martial scriptures, there is no effect at all. You might as well not study them.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian just smiled and didn¡¯t say anything, and in a few breaths, he moved on to the twenty-first image.<div>


    ¡°Elder, with your status, you offered to guide this youngster, but he still persists in his single-minded approach. He really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him,¡± said a follower standing behind the elder.


    The elder shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s normal for disciples who have just entered the Martial Dao to aim too high and miss the mark,¡± then added, ¡°With that attitude, this child will hardly achieve anything significant.¡±


    At that moment, suddenly, in a certain part of the grand hall, Sword Qi soared to the sky, the astonishing Sword Qi alerted everyone present.


    People turned to look and saw a young man in grey standing in front of thest image; the young man had a long sword on his back, and at this moment, his body was wrapped in Sword Qi, with streaks of Sword Qi flying from within.


    There were as many as neen streaks of Sword Qi.


    Clearly, this young man had finished viewing the martial scripture images and deduced a Supreme Sword Technique, thus naturally generating Sword Qi.


    ¡°It¡¯s Liang Fang, the leading disciple of Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. Liang Fang was born with a Vajra Sword Body, and he is one of the most talented young Sword Dao geniuses in Buddha Source!¡±


    ¡°`


    Many recognized the youth in the gray robe and were shocked.


    ¡°The Soaring Cloud Sword Sect has produced an extraordinary Sword Dao genius!¡± eximed the ancient elder who had previously offered guidance to Yang Xiaotian.


    Every year, tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of disciples enter Martial Emperor City, and the vast majority are prodigious disciples from major forces, yet very few can deduce the Supreme Sword Technique from the martial arts left by the Martial Emperor of Martial Emperor City.


    Yang Xiaotian paid no mind to the crowd. Afterprehending one image, he moved on to the next. Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at thest image.


    Seeing how quickly Yang Xiaotian reached thest image, the elder shook his head and was about to look away when suddenly, a frightening Sword Qi burst forth from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, which not even the Hall of Martial Scriptures could contain.<div>


    The Sword Qi pierced through the Hall of Martial Scriptures and shot straight into the sky.


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Liang Fang of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect just finished his study of the martial scriptures and was about to leave the great hall when he too stopped in shock, turning to look at Yang Xiaotian with utter amazement.


    Then, another burst of Sword Qi erupted from Yang Xiaotian.


    This Sword Qi was stronger, fiercer, and more astonishing.


    Following that, like a series of firecrackers, more terrifying Sword Qi bursts kept shooting out from Yang Xiaotian.


    Neen!


    Twenty!


    Twenty-one!


    Soon, there were thirty bursts of Sword Qi!


    ¡°Thirty Sword Qis!¡± a swordsman in the great hall eximed in shock.


    Generally, the stronger the swordsmanship divine abilityprehended from the martial scripture images, the more innate Sword Qis one would produce.


    For instance, Liang Fang of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect had produced neen Sword Qis, which had already amazed the crowd; yet Yang Xiaotian had now produced a full thirty Sword Qis, and the count was still rising!<div>


    ¡°Impossible!¡± The elder who had advised Yang Xiaotian earlier was dumbfounded, and those under him were utterly stupefied.


    ¡°Thirty-one!¡±


    ¡°Thirty-two!¡±


    The count of Sword Qi quickly surpassed forty.


    The people in the great hall were horrified.


    Back then, the dean of Buddha Source Academy could only produce forty Sword Qis with the Death Shapeless Sword Technique.


    Now, after reaching forty, Yang Xiaotian continued to emit relentless Sword Qi.


    ¡°Fifty!¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi hit fifty, everyone in the great hall was shaken.


    ¡°Back then, wasn¡¯t it Lord Ji Wudi who had fifty Sword Qis!¡± a master trembled.


    Ji Wudi!


    Everyone¡¯s hearts were pounding.


    All in the great hall knew who Ji Wudi was.<div>


    Revered as the most talented Sword Dao genius in the history of Celestial Burial Academy, as well as the strongest Sword Ancestor of the academy, even the Demon Sky Sword God had to retreat when facing Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    Ji Wudi¡¯s study of martial scriptures resulted in just fifty Sword Qis, but now this youth was surpassing Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi!


    ¡°Fifty-one!¡±


    ¡°Fifty-two!¡±


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi broke past sixty, everyone felt almost paralyzed with fear.


    The elder who had counseled Yang Xiaotian was now so agitated his chest heaved like the waves of the sea.


    Moreover, the powerhouses who had entered Martial Emperor City also witnessed the terrifying Sword Qi above the Hall of Martial Scriptures.


    ¡°Who is it! Who isprehending the martial scriptures to produce sixty Sword Qis!¡± one sect master after another eximed in horror.

 Chapter 331: 331 Tang Huan Spits Blood

    Chapter 331 Tang Huan Spits Blood


    Sixty strands of Sword Qi, what does this concept entail?


    Throughout the ages, within Martial Emperor City, no one has ever been able toprehend sixty strands of Sword Qi.


    Even the most stunning and demonically talented geniuses of the Sword Dao, could not grasp sixty strands of Sword Qi.


    Yet now, someone hasprehended sixty strands of Sword Qi, how could the various powerhouses of Martial Emperor City not be shocked, how could they not fear!


    Inside the great hall, Soaring Cloud Sword Sect¡¯s Sword Dao Genius, Liang Fang, already had a nk mind, his eyes only filled with those resplendent strands of rising Sword Qi.


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi broke through to ny strands, many people copsed to the ground.


    ¡°Could it be that he will reach a hundred?!¡± someone trembled as they said.


    Although no one had everprehended sixty strands of Sword Qi, the Martial Emperor had once said that whether it wasprehending the martial scriptures or other Sword Steles within Martial Emperor City, you could reach up to a hundred strands of Sword Qi.


    Under everyone¡¯s breathless, excited, trembling, and shocked gazes, the hundredth strand of Sword Qi finally burst forth from within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    A hundred strands!<div>


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian trulyprehend a hundred strands of Sword Qi, the people in the hall were beyond expressing their excitement and shock with words.


    However, just as everyone thought it was over, suddenly, another strand of Sword Qi shot out from within Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°A hundred and one strands!¡±


    Everyone was stunned.


    Wasn¡¯t it said that the maximum was a hundred strands of Sword Qi?


    Howe now it¡¯s a hundred and one strands?!


    ¡°He is Divine Yang!¡±


    Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.


    ¡°What, Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian Divine Yang!¡±


    Many experts found it easy to call Yang Xiaotian Emperor Sanqian Divine Yang after his one-man battle against Emperor Sanqian!


    The entire hall was filled with excitement.


    After Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi reached a hundred and one strands, it finally stopped.


    Although he hadprehended a hundred and one strands of Sword Qi from the martial scriptures, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be happy at all, and instead, he frowned.


    Because, he had already confirmed that the Hall of Martial Scriptures did not contain the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    If the Hall of Martial Scriptures had it, his Sword Qi just now would have already resonated with the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    This left Yang Xiaotian quite disappointed.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian did not continue to stay, and with the Iceme Kylin and the other two, left the Hall of Martial Scriptures.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotianprehend the martial scriptures and achieve a hundred and one strands of Sword Qi, yet leaving the hall with a somber expression without a trace of happiness, everyone looked at each other in dismay.<div>


    As soon as he left the Hall of Martial Scriptures, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t stop for a moment and hurried towards the Medicine God Hall.


    Martial Emperor City would only be open for one day, and he had to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword within this day, or else wait another year.


    At the moment Yang Xiaotian left the Hall of Martial Scriptures, within a sword cavern of Martial Emperor City, the Buddha Son Tang Huan stood before a Sword Stele, his body surging with Sword Qi, astonishingly powerful.


    Strands of Sword Qi burst forth from Tang Huan¡¯s body, precisely forty-nine strands, neither more nor less.<div>


    Upon seeing this within the sword cavern, everyone was astounded beyond measure.


    ¡°Worthy of being the Buddha Son, heprehended forty-nine Sword Qis from the Buddha Sea Sword Stele!¡±


    A chorus of admiration.


    Just at that moment, suddenly, someone outside the Sword Grotto shouted excitedly, ¡°Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang hasprehended martial scriptures and discerned a hundred and one Sword Qis!¡±


    A hundred and one Sword Qis!


    The voice prated the Sword Grotto, and the originally excited crowd inside couldn¡¯t help but be astonished.


    The formerly proud andcent Tang Huan¡¯s body suddenly ceased emanating Sword Qi.


    He stood there, his face full of disbelief, then turned pale, feeling as though the world had darkened before his eyes.


    ¡°Comprehending the martial scriptures and a hundred and one Sword Qis? This must be fake, right? The Martial Emperor said that within Martial Emperor City, the peak of Sword Dao was a hundred Sword Qis!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s absolutely true. Hundreds of experts in the Hall of Martial Scriptures witnessed it with their own eyes! Moreover, after Yang Xiaotianprehended the hundred and one Sword Qis, he wasn¡¯t happy at all; instead, he left very dejectedly.¡±


    He hadprehended a hundred and one Sword Qis.


    And he was very dejected?


    And not happy at all?<div>


    Tang Huan felt the world spin, suddenly spouting a mouthful of dark blood, sttering the Sword Stele before him with ck.


    After leaving the Hall of Martial Scriptures, Yang Xiaotian and the Iceme Qilin trio flew towards the Medicine God Hall.


    The Medicine God Hall was some distance from the Hall of Martial Scriptures, and it took the group over an hour to reach it.


    In the square of the Medicine God Hall, an enormous Cauldron Furnace caught Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attention.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian eyeing the massive Cauldron Furnace in the square, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke up, ¡°That is the Giant Spirit Cauldron, used by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God before he became the Medicine God.¡±


    ¡°This Giant Spirit Cauldron is a top-grade Holy Artifact. It has been here for many years, yet no one has been able to take it away.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished, ¡°No one can take it away?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, this Giant Spirit Cauldron has be one with the Martial Emperor City,¡± exined the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the Giant Spirit Cauldron.


    He was quite confident he could take away the Giant Spirit Cauldron, but since he already had the Medicine Cauldron and the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, the Giant Spirit Cauldron was of no use to him.


    Moreover, moving the Giant Spirit Cauldron would take quite a bit of time to sever its connection with Martial Emperor City, so Yang Xiaotian did not disturb it.


    Circling around the Giant Spirit Cauldron, the group entered the Medicine God Hall.


    Inside the Medicine God Hall, there were many people¡ªfar more than in the Hall of Martial Scriptures, at least a thousand or two.<div>


    The walls of the Medicine God Hall, just like those of the Hall of Martial Scriptures, were covered in various images.


    However, after half an hour, Yang Xiaotian walked out of the Medicine God Hall.


    Because the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was also not there.


    Upon learning Yang Xiaotian¡¯s intention to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, the Azure Thunder Python pondered and said, ¡°Master, perhaps you could take a look at Sword Origin.¡±


    ¡°Sword Origin?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    ¡°Inside the Martial Emperor City, there¡¯s a ce called Sword Origin, filled with countless swords. Many martial artists who enter Martial Emperor City go to Sword Origin to choose a sword. However, Sword Origin is very dangerous. One could stumble upon a Sword Tide and even Divine Spirit Powerhouses could perish in the Sword Origin,¡± exined the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°Perhaps the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword is inside Sword Origin.¡±


    After pondering, Yang Xiaotian decided to go with the trio to Sword Origin to look.


    However, just as they were about to fly to Sword Origin, they saw a crowd of experts flying towards them.


    Turns out it was Liu Xingyu from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, Wu Fei, a group of experts from the Chen Family, and also Wei Zongyuan, apanied by Yao Qingxue.

 Chapter 332: 332: I’ll Play a Move with Him

    Chapter 332: I¡¯ll y a Move with Him


    Yao Qingxue must have encountered Wei Zongyuan and Liu Xingyu on the way, and they traveled together.


    However, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s master, the Demon Sky Sword God, was nowhere to be seen.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected to run into Wei Zongyuan and the others.


    Wu Fei, Wei Zongyuan, Yao Qingxue, and the others also did not expect to run into Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Spotting Yang Xiaotian from afar, Wei Zongyuan called out in a hateful tone.


    Liu Xingyu immediately looked towards Yang Xiaotian, his eyes turning icy: ¡°Is this Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°Master, that¡¯s Yang Xiaotian!¡± Wu Fei stared at Yang Xiaotian, his voice filled with loathing.


    Liu Xingyu¡¯s face hardened as he led a group of experts flying towards Yang Xiaotian and the Iceme Qilin.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, is it!¡± Liu Xingyu said coldly upon reaching Yang Xiaotian: ¡°You¡¯ve got some nerve, daring to injure a disciple of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect! Do you think we wouldn¡¯t dare touch you just because you have Ji Wudi backing you up?¡±


    ¡°If our Heaven-Prating Divine Sect wants you dead, even Ji Wudi can¡¯t stop us!¡±<div>


    However, just as Liu Xingyu was about to make a move, suddenly, Wei Zongyuan stepped forward and said, ¡°Elder, I wish to battle Yang Xiaotian! Please grant me this fight with Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°After I defeat Yang Xiaotian, I will hand him over for you to deal with.¡±


    Fearing that Liu Xingyu would not agree, he added, ¡°I humbly ask for your consent, Elder.¡±


    Liu Xingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled: ¡°That sounds good. I have heard that your Martial Spirit has evolved to a hundred thousand years; it would be enlightening for all of us to witness such a thing.¡±


    The Chen Family Ancestor said with a smile: ¡°Indeed, I have lived for thousands of years, yet I have never seen what a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring looks like. Today would be a fortunate day if I can witness it!¡±


    Wei Zongyuan bowed to Liu Xingyu and the Chen Family Ancestor: ¡°Thank you, Elders.¡± Then he turned and walked towards Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, after our battle at Wangtian Peak, I entered an ancientnd to defeat you, where I came close to death nine times out of ten, but finally evolved my Soul Ring to a hundred thousand years!¡±


    ¡°This time, I will defeat you!¡±


    ¡°Utterly andpletely defeat you!¡±


    As these words were spoken, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s aura surged wildly, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky. A gigantic Nine-Colored Bird emerged from his body.


    When this giant Nine-Colored Bird emerged, its melodious cries echoed throughout Martial Emperor City.


    The radiance of the Nine Colors spread like waves, reaching every corner of Martial Emperor City.


    As the Nine-Colored Bird emerged, a vast red halo appeared around the bird¡¯s body.


    The red halo was incredibly brilliant, illuminating the surrounding space, and a terrifying divine might swept forth.


    Meanwhile, within the red halo, the figure of the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King appeared, faint and elusive.


    At this moment, numerous powerful entities throughout Martial Emperor City heard the cry of the Nine-Colored Bird and felt the divine might of the red halo.


    ¡°Nine-Colored Peacock King Martial Spirit!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring!¡±


    ¡°Only the legendary hundred thousand-year Soul Rings are red!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Wei Zongyuan taking action! He has summoned the Nine-Colored Peacock King Martial Spirit and a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring!¡±<div>


    One expert after another was shocked and turned their attention to this scene.


    Even Yao Qingxue and Liu Xingyu, upon seeing Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Nine-Colored Peacock King Martial Spirit and the hundred thousand-year Soul Ring, could not hide their amazement.


    The Nine-Colored Peacock King Martial Spirit was a fourteenth-grade superior Martial Soul.


    Fourteenth-grade Martial Souls were rare in the Azure God Continent, and ones as superior as the Nine-Colored Peacock King were even rarer.<div>


    As for a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring, it was something almost never seen throughout the ages.


    Not to mention Yao Qingxue, even divine spirits like Liu Xingyu, the Divine Spirit Ancestor, were seeing a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring for the first time.


    A hundred thousand-year Soul Ring shone like a red sun, emitting an intense red light.


    Under the illumination of the hundred thousand-year Soul Ring, rows of streets were covered in red, as if the whole area was bathed in redness.


    Wei Zongyuan stood there as if d in a red battle armor, his momentum soaring continuously.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you think that my Martial Soul has only evolved to have a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring?¡±


    ¡°In that ancientnd, I also had a great encounter and condensed the eighth Golden Buddha Sword Heart!¡±


    With this, one after another Golden Buddha Sword Heart within him shone brightly.


    One after another, beams of Sword Qi burst forth.


    For each Golden Buddha Sword Heart that lit up, an additional figure of Golden Buddha Shadows appeared behind him.


    Eight Golden Buddha Shadows gathered around his body.


    At the same time, Wei Zongyuan also activated his Vajra Unmoved Sword Body, with more than twenty thousand strands of Vajra Sword Qi twining around his whole body.


    ¡°Eight Golden Buddha Sword Hearts!¡± Seeing Wei Zongyuan had actually condensed eight Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, everyone, whether it was Liu Xingyu or Yao Qingxue and the others, was once again shocked.<div>


    Although it wasn¡¯t nine, eight was enough to rm all directions and realms.


    With an Ancient Sword in hand, Wei Zongyuan pointed at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, make your move!¡±


    The three from Iceme Qilin all had a cold look on their faces.


    Yang Xiaotian stretched out his hand to stop them and said, ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. There¡¯s plenty of time. I¡¯ll y along with him for a move.¡±


    One move!


    This time, he would obliterate his opponent with just one move!


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian say he would entertain him for one move, Wei Zongyuanughed furiously: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, do you still think you can be unbeatable like you were at Wangtian Peak?¡±


    ¡°Your Sword Heart only has one more than mine.¡±


    ¡°But my Soul Ring is a hundred thousand years old! And it¡¯s the Soul Ring of the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King!¡±


    ¡°My strength now far surpasses yours!¡±


    ¡°And yet you have the audacity to say you¡¯ll ¡®y along¡¯ with me for one move!¡±


    Enraged, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hundred thousand-year Soul Ring shone even more intensely.


    Even the high sky was illuminated red.<div>

 Chapter 333: 333: The Million-Year Soul Ring Reappears in Heaven and Earth

    Chapter 333: The Million-Year Soul Ring Reappears in Heaven and Earth


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the radiant Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring behind Wei Zongyuan and said, ¡°Just a mere Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring, you have the nerve to unt something like this.¡±


    Wei Zongyuan, hearing Yang Xiaotian speak so dismissively of the Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring, became furious. As he was about to speak, suddenly, a terrifying aura burst forth from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Innumerable waves of ck cold air, like the boundless ck Sea, swept across heaven and earth.


    Wherever the ck cold air passed, everything waspletely frozen.


    A ck Tortoise, asrge as a continent, hovered above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    The instant the ck Tortoise appeared, the entire Martial Emperor City was plunged into darkness.


    The sun in the sky was fully obscured.


    All the sunlight vanished without a trace.


    Even the multicolored radiance from the Nine-Colored Peacock King waspletely scattered.


    The Nine-Colored Peacock King Martial Soul behind Wei Zongyuan might have beenrge, with its wings spread wide like a mountain, but now in front of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s continent-like ck Tortoise Martial Soul, it appeared as insignificant as a chick.<div>


    The ck Tortoise Martial Soul descended upon the world, bellowing to the heavens.


    Suddenly, the authority of the Supreme King shook heaven and earth.


    The heaven and earth trembled.


    One pce after another in Martial Emperor City started to flicker withyer uponyer of light.


    The shadows of ancient gods from time immemorial emerged above Martial Emperor City.


    The bellow of ck Tortoise, the Supreme King, actually triggered the supreme prohibitions of the tens of thousands of pces in Martial Emperor City, invoking all the divine imprints of the ancient gods there.


    All the powerhouses of Martial Emperor City turned pale with fright, looking up at the ck Tortoise in the sky, asrge as a continent, with a mix of horror and awe.


    ¡°What kind of Martial Soul is this? How can it be so terrifying, so immense!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Supreme King!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s definitely the Supreme King Martial Soul!¡±


    One Sect Ancestor eximed incoherently with excitement.


    ¡°What, the Supreme King Martial Soul!¡±


    ¡°After a million years, the Supreme King Martial Soul has reappeared in the world!¡±


    One after another, Sect Ancestors were so excited that they were trembling all over, their old eyes filled with tears.


    The Supreme King?! Liu Xingyu was shocked.


    Wei Zongyuan was shocked!


    Yao Qingxue¡¯s mouth was agape enough to fit arge dragon egg.


    Since the battle at Wangtian Peak, everyone had been specting about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul. They wondered what it could be, and now, she finally knew what Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was.


    The Supreme King!<div>


    It was actually the Supreme King!


    Just as everyone was shocked that the Supreme King Martial Soul had reappeared in the world after a million years, suddenly, around the body of the ck Tortoise Martial Soul, a golden-red halo appeared.


    As the golden-red halo emerged, the entire Martial Emperor City seemed unable to bear the power of this Soul Ring. The whole city trembled violently, and terrifying chasms spread across the ground.


    Every pce swayed incessantly.<div>


    Even the shadows of the ancient gods swayed with the wind, their eyes revealing horror.


    The pces¡¯ prohibitions erupted with unparalleled brilliance.


    The entire Martial Emperor City surged with intense light, and a giant shadow appeared above it, the divine imprint left by the Martial Emperor himself.


    The divine imprint left by the Martial Emperor had never been seen before; it would only appear when Martial Emperor City faced a catastrophic power.


    And now, the Martial Emperor¡¯s divine imprint had been activated, resisting the dread power brought by the golden-red Soul Ring.


    One by one, the Sect Ancestors watched the golden-red Soul Ring that propped up the sky with horror-stricken faces.


    ¡°What kind of Soul Ring is this? How can there be such a Soul Ring in the world!¡±


    ¡°Is it two hundred thousand years? Or three hundred thousand years?¡±


    Just as everyone was shocked and specting, suddenly, they saw a massive ck silhouette appear within the golden-red Soul Ring.


    This ck silhouette, with wings outstretched, was like a mountain range that spanned the heavens and the earth!


    Seeing this faint ck silhouette, the Demon Sky Sword God, who had beenprehending the Sword Dao in the deepest part of Martial Emperor City, had a face full of disbelief and eyes filled with fear.


    In the past, he had foolishly ventured into the depths of the Soul Sea.


    He would never forget the aura emanating from this ck silhouette in his lifetime.<div>


    The aura that had terrified him for his entire life had appeared once again.


    ¡°Deep Sea Demon Roc!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring!¡±


    ¡°A million-year Soul Ring! My God, it¡¯s a million-year Soul Ring!¡±


    Upon seeing this ck silhouette, an ancient Sect Ancestor shouted excitedly.


    Deep Sea Demon Roc!


    Hearing the ancient Sect Ancestor¡¯s excited shout, all the Sect powerhouses were extremely astonished.


    The experts of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect and the Chen Family were all trembling uncontrobly, as if they had been stricken with a ten thousand-year cold, shivering incessantly.


    When people are fearful and shocked to the extreme, they involuntarily let out a scream, and Yao Qingxue covered her little cherry mouth with her hands, trying hard not to make a sound.


    Wei Zongyuan was scared half to death.


    Under the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring was sobbing continuously, as if begging for mercy, weeping.


    Not just Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, but his eight Golden Buddha Sword Hearts were also trembling and humming.


    Yang Xiaotian did not even activate the power of his ten Sword Hearts, he simply threw a punch.<div>


    Immediately, the Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring burst forth with dazzling light, and the vast power of the million-year Soul Ring roared out from his fist.


    When the vast power of the million-year Soul Ring burst forth, heaven and earth trembled even more, and the souls of all present quivered.


    Everyone felt the world-ending power of the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    Facing the earth-shattering power of the Deep Sea Demon Roc, many disciples of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect and the Chen Family on the scene were so terrified that they fell to the ground.


    The vast power, like a sea of dark apocalyptic tides, enveloped the heavens, hurtling towards Wei Zongyuan.


    It was as if heaven and earth had already vanished.


    In Wei Zongyuan¡¯s eyes, there was only that endless dark vast power.


    Boom!


    His entire body¡¯s Ming King Sword Qi was instantly shattered.


    The Golden Buddha Shadows of the eight Golden Buddha Sword Hearts burst like bubbles.


    The Nine-Colored Peacock King Martial Spirit let out a pitiful and mournful scream, sounding like a blood-weeping cuckoo, on the verge of exploding.


    The Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King Soul Ring cracked inch by inch.


    Wei Zongyuan was sted into the air, and in mid-flight, his blood spurted violently. Yes, it spurted out, and atst, Wei Zongyuan explodedpletely, his internal organs all sted apart.<div>


    The power of the Deep Sea Demon Roc still carried his corpse, continuously sting towards the end, mming it into the gates of Martial Emperor City.


    The gates of Martial Emperor City trembled.


    The power of the Deep Sea Demon Roc continued to ravage inside Martial Emperor City for a long time.


    Liu Xingyu and the others, watching this scene unfold, were unable to move for a long time.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, like a demon, like a god.

 Chapter 334: 334: I, the New Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect

    Chapter 334: I, the New Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect


    ¡°`


    A punch!


    The nine Great Golden Buddha Sword Hearts detonated.


    The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring shattered.


    The Supreme Martial Soul dispersed.


    This is the power of the One Million Year Spirit Ring.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian is only exerting a minuscule part of the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s power, it is still terrifying!


    The Golden Buddha Sword Heart, being one of the strongest Sword Hearts, how tenacious it is; the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, breaking through the constraints of Heaven and Earth, how tenacious it is; the Supreme Martial Soul, known as the strongest martial soul in the world, how tenacious it is.


    But now, under the power of the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡¯s One Million Year Soul Ring, all these seemed so fragile.


    Under the power of the One Million Year Soul Ring, death could not be more absolute.<div>


    Even the armor on his body was sted into ash.


    The Iceme Kylin, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor were all unable to convey the shock in their hearts.


    At the end of the street, the gates of Martial Emperor City were still trembling and nging.


    Yao Qingxue¡¯s heart thumped wildly as she watched Yang Xiaotian, her eyes full of stars.


    Liu Xingyu finally snapped back to reality.


    As he looked at Yang Xiaotian again, his expression changed unpredictably, his heart a mess of shock, horror, disbelief, fear, jealousy, and even murderous intent.


    Just as Liu Xingyu¡¯s murderous intent emerged, suddenly, a Divine Sword appeared in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    When the Divine Sword appeared, its sword light¡¯s sharpness caused everyone present to feel a sting on their skin.


    Seeing the Divine Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, everyone, both Liu Xingyu and the other experts of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, widened their eyes in shock.


    ¡°Since you are disciples of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, you should recognize this sword, right?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked indifferently at Liu Xingyu, Wu Fei, and the others. As he said this, his True Yuan poured in, and the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword¡¯s radiance surged endlessly.


    The power of the Heaven-Prating Sword Dao enveloped Liu Xingyu and the others.


    ¡°The Heaven-Prating Divine Sword!¡± Liu Xingyu fell to the ground with a thud, his lips trembling non-stop.


    The other experts of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect all knelt down in unison, full of excitement and reverence, eximing continuously, ¡°It¡¯s the Sect Hierarch!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Lord Sect Hierarch!¡±


    ¡°Sect Hierarch!¡±


    ¡°Our Heaven-Prating Divine Sect¡¯s new Sect Hierarch!¡±


    Dozens of experts from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect called out in excitement, tears filling their eyes.


    Divine Master Hong Feng had left the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect many years ago, and before leaving, he had left a message that when the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword reappeared between Heaven and Earth, that would be the time for the new Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect to emerge.


    The followers of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect had always remembered these words.<div>


    They had been waiting eagerly for the appearance of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword.


    And now, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword had finally reappeared between Heaven and Earth.


    Their new Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect had finally emerged.


    What made them even more proud and excited was that their new Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect had condensed a One Million Year Soul Ring!<div>


    How fortunate their Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was!


    How glorious their Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was!


    ¡°You may all rise,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Instantly, the numerous experts of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect rose as if pardoned, their movements uniform, daring not to disobey in the slightest.


    As for Wu Fei and Liu Xingyu, they were both trembling like leaves, as if they stood undressed in the cold snow.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the two men.


    With just one look, both men were so frightened that they felt like they¡¯d lost two of their three souls.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell upon a group of experts from the Chen Family, and he retrieved more than a dozen Control Elixirs, then made the members of the Chen Family swallow them.


    The faces of the Chen Family¡¯s members were devoid of color.


    But under the deathly stare of the experts from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect and the Iceme Kylin, and the Azure Thunder Python, the members of the Chen Family ultimately swallowed the elixirs.


    Yang Xiaotian turned his head and said to Yao Qingxue, ¡°As for today¡¯s events, I hope Miss Yao won¡¯t speak of them.¡± He then took out a Control Elixir.


    Yao Qingxue looked at the Control Elixir, her face turning pale.<div>


    She bit her teeth and, in the end, still took the elixir and swallowed it.


    She knew that if she refused, Yang Xiaotian would probably not hesitate to kill her on the spot.


    Yang Xiaotian would show no mercy.


    ¡°Sect Hierarch, now that you have returned, I shall inform the headquarters of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect,¡± said an old ancestor of the sect with respectful excitement.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for now,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head and replied.


    He had been told by the Iceme Kylin that after his master, Divine Master Hong Feng, left the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, there had been some chaos within the sect over the years.


    Having thought it over, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t want to alert the headquarters of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect just yet.


    In the future, when the time was right, he would personally visit the headquarters of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    Then Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I¡¯m now heading to Sword Origin. After the opening of Martial Emperor City ends, you all should return to the Zhongzhou branch first, no need to wait for me.¡±


    ¡°If I have time, I will visit the Zhongzhou branch.¡±


    ¡°And remember, todays¡¯s events must not be disclosed by anyone.¡±


    The members of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, although disappointed, still respectfully agreed.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian retract the ck Tortoise Supreme Martial Spirit and the million-year Soul Ring of the Deep Sea Demon Roc.<div>


    The moment Yang Xiaotian withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, all the powerhouses in Martial Emperor City felt a sudden relief, as if they had been spared from death¡¯s door.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian, the Iceme Kylin, and a few others flew towards Sword Origin.


    The members of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect respectfully saw off Yang Xiaotian and, once he had departed, the members of the Chen Family also left.


    Yao Qingxue stood there for a long time without moving. She stared at the spot where Wei Zongyuan had been standing, lost in thought for a long time.


    The ce where Wei Zongyuan had stood was now empty, with only a dried pool of blood on the ground.


    Who could have imagined that Wei Zongyuan, once considered the number one talent of Celestial Burial Academy and hailed as the future Sword God, would be sted to death here, leaving not even remains, just a pool of blood?


    She sighed softly and then left through the air.


    When Yang Xiaotian, Yao Qingxue, and others were gone, the entire Martial Emperor City was like a boiling pot, seething with excitement and agitation. Everyone was excited and thrilled.


    Excited to have witnessed the Supreme Martial Spirit of the Supreme King, and thrilled to have seen the million-year Soul Ring.


    At the same time, everyone was fiercely debating who it could be with the Supreme Martial Spirit, who it could be that condensed the million-year Soul Ring!


    But what puzzled everyone was, who had killed the Deep Sea Demon Roc?


    The Deep Sea Demon Roc was definitely the overlord of the Soul Sea, and even the most powerful Sword God would not dare to strike at it with a sword.


    ¡°Even Lord Azure Bear himself would not be able to kill the Deep Sea Demon Roc!¡± a venerable elder asserted confidently.<div>


    If even Lord Azure Bear couldn¡¯t kill the Deep Sea Demon Roc, let alone other masters from the Azure God Continent.


    Could it be an unparalleled overlord from another continent?


    The more the people discussed, the colder their hearts felt.

 Chapter 335: 335: How Did He Do It?

    Chapter 335: How Did He Do It?


    While various elites were discussing fervently, Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at Sword Origin.


    It was only upon arriving at Sword Origin that Yang Xiaotian realized the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s description of billions of swords was no exaggeration. He saw the entire in ahead covered with Flying Swords, filling the sky and carpeting the ground.


    Infinite and boundless.


    No end in sight.


    These Flying Swords, within Sword Origin, seemed to have been endowed with a life of their own, floating freely like fish.


    Many masters were constantly entering Sword Origin to look for swords that suited them.


    ¡°Young master, you must be very careful of the Sword Tide after entering Sword Origin,¡± the Azure Thunder Python said with a serious face.


    ¡°Normally, these Flying Swords won¡¯t actively attack people, but once a Sword Tide urs, these swords will turn into frenzied fierce beasts, attacking all the masters who have entered Sword Origin.¡±


    ¡°Once billions of Flying Swords go into a frenzy, their power is simply more terrifying than the beast tide of Red Moon Forest.¡±


    ¡°After you enter Sword Origin, young master, you can try to feel the Flying Swords with your heart. Only if a Flying Sword acknowledges you will it follow you.¡±<div>


    ¡°You cannot grab these Flying Swords with your hands.¡±


    Afterward, the three of them exined some other matters to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, had the Kylin three wait for him outside, and stepped into Sword Origin alone.


    Walking into Sword Origin and seeing the Flying Swords roaming around, Yang Xiaotian was reminded of the time he visited the underwater world as a child in his previous life.


    However, back then, he was looking at fish, whereas now, he was surrounded by various Flying Swords.


    These Flying Swords ranged from being as thin as needles to asrge as a small mountain.


    Seeing the Flying Swordsing towards him and following what the Kylin three had said, Yang Xiaotian tried to feel the Flying Swords around him with his heart.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body erupted with Sword Qi, and then the Flying Swords that had been floating about suddenly all flew towards Yang Xiaotian.


    One, two, three, four, five¡­


    One after another, the Flying Swords fluttered like butterflies to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    Since Martial Emperor City was established, no one had ever gained the acknowledgment of five Flying Swords.


    Many a Sword Dao Genius had entered, spending a whole day only to leave empty-handed.


    To have one Flying Sword acknowledge you was already enough to make you renowned in all four directions.


    Even the most astonishing Sword Dao Genius could only have four Flying Swords acknowledge them.


    Many years ago, the Demon Sky Sword God entered Sword Origin and could only take away four Flying Swords.


    But at this moment, the number of Flying Swords surrounding Yang Xiaotian was growing more and more, swiftly reaching a hundred!


    And it was still increasing.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body seemed to possess an incredible power, drawing these Flying Swords toward him continuously.


    At first, it was the Flying Swords within a hundred meters flying towards Yang Xiaotian, then two hundred meters, three hundred meters, a thousand meters!<div>


    As these Flying Swords flew to Yang Xiaotian, they swarmed gleefully like happy children.


    If other elites were to witness this scene at the moment, they would be extremely shocked.


    Finally, seeing too many Flying Swords, Yang Xiaotian dispersed the Sword Qi from his body and waved away the swords.


    After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiaotian headed deeper into Sword Origin.<div>


    He had a feeling that the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was deeper within Sword Origin.


    Therefore, he nned to go deeper into Sword Origin, unleash the power of Sword Qi and see if he could draw out the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    After walking for a while and reaching the depths of Sword Origin, Yang Xiaotian activated the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword¡¯s Sword Qi power without any reservations.


    Instantly, the surrounding Flying Swords hummed as if forming a tide, rushing towards him.


    Very quickly, the Sword Tide spread to ten li and then twenty li.


    From a distance, millions of Flying Swords flew in the same direction, a magnificent sight.


    Many masters witnessing this scene had their faces change color, ¡°A Sword Tide?!¡±


    ¡°The Sword Tide is about to erupt!¡±


    All the masters who had entered Sword Origin fled in terror.


    However, they soon realized that this Sword Tide was different from the ones before. In past eruptions, billions of Flying Swords would attack all the masters that entered Sword Origin, but this time, no Flying Swords attacked anyone.


    They were only rushing in one direction.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°This Sword Tide isn¡¯t attacking people?¡±<div>


    Just as everyone was astonished, suddenly, at the deepest part of Sword Origin, an astonishing Sword Qi surged to the sky, followed by a spread of golden Buddha light throughout the heavens.


    Within the Buddha light, faint images of a thousand Buddhas could be seen.


    In the center of the thousand Buddha images was a resplendent Buddha Sword¡ªthe Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Sword flew toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Even from afar, Yang Xiaotian saw the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword carrying the images of a thousand Buddhas flying towards him and was overjoyed.


    He had been worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to draw out the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword arrived in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian reached out and grasped the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    As he grasped the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire within his body flew out, wrapping around his entire body and shining together with the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    The images of the thousand Buddhas solidified, surrounding Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body like a thousand gold Buddhas protecting him.


    Perhaps because he had tamed the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword showed no resistance to Yang Xiaotian.


    Looking at the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword in his hand, Yang Xiaotian felt a deep connection.


    With a flick of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword in his hand, instantly, the air was filled with the shadows of Buddha light swords.<div>


    Sensing someone flying towards him, Yang Xiaotian put away the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword and then flew outwards.


    As Yang Xiaotian flew out, the previously violent Sword Tide quickly dissipated, and Sword Origin returned to normal.


    The Iceme Qilin three, who had been guarding the entrance to Sword Origin, heard that a Sword Tide had erupted deep inside and were anxious to go in when they saw Yang Xiaotianing out and happily weed him.


    Seeing the three approaching, Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve found what I was looking for. Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll leave Martial Emperor City for now.¡±


    Now that the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword had been found, there was no need to stay in Martial Emperor City any longer.

 Chapter 336: 336 Maybe You Shouldn’t Go to the Dwarf Tribe

    Chapter 336 Maybe You Shouldn¡¯t Go to the Dwarf Tribe


    ¡°`


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and a few from the Kylin set out from Martial Emperor City and found a ce tomence the refinement of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    Before long, the opening of Martial Emperor City finally came to an end.


    All the powerful figures from various factions were expelled from the city by the binding powers of Martial Emperor City¡¯s restrictions.


    The Demon Sky Sword God sat on a mountain peak outside the city waiting for Wei Zongyuan.


    The two had agreed to meet on this mountain peak once the opening of Martial Emperor City concluded.


    However, the Demon Sky Sword God had waited for a long time, yet he still did not see a glimpse of his disciple.


    His eyes were filled with doubt.


    In the end, he waited until dusk fell.


    He waited until all the powerhouses from various forces had departed.<div>


    He waited until not even a dog¡¯s shadow could be seen around the entire Martial Emperor City, still without a trace of his disciple.


    The face of the Demon Sky Sword God gradually darkened.


    At this point, how could he not understand that his disciple had met with misfortune!


    Who was it?


    Who killed his disciple?


    Dare to kill his disciple!


    The image of Yang Xiaotian shed across his mind.


    If one were to dare kill his disciple, the suspicion on Yang Xiaotian would undoubtedly be the greatest.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you better not let me find out it was you, otherwise, even if Ji Wudi steps in, there will be no negotiations!¡± The Demon Sky Sword God stood up, his whole body exuding killing intent as Sword Qi surged wildly.


    He had expended great effort in nurturing Wei Zongyuan, cing endless expectations and hope in him¡ªnow, no matter who snuffed out those hopes, he vowed they would die without a ce for burial!


    Even if it was Yang Xiaotian, he must also die without a ce for burial.


    The Demon Sky Sword God transformed into a beam of Demon Light Sword Qi and disappeared into the sky, heading straight for the Celestial Burial Academy!


    Soon, the news of Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s disciple Wei Zongyuan¡¯s death spread.


    The nation was in shock.


    ¡°What, Wei Zongyuan is dead? Wei Zongyuan was the direct disciple of the Demon Sky Sword God, who would dare to kill Wei Zongyuan?¡±


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan¡¯s talent was assessed at six thousand! His Soul Ring even evolved to a hundred thousand years, creating a Divine Miracle in the Buddha Source Empire, and yet he died?¡±


    Countless sects and families of the Buddha Source Empire were shaken by the death of Wei Zongyuan.


    Soon, the Peacock n made a statement: ¡°Wei Zongyuan is a direct descendant of the Peacock Buddha Mother¡¯s bloodline. Whoever dares to kill a descendant of the Buddha Mother, the Peacock n will exterminate their nine generations!¡±


    With the news released, the Buddha Source Empire was even more shocked and boiling over.<div>


    The Peacock Buddha Mother was the founder of the Buddha Source Empire, and Wei Zongyuan turned out to be a direct descendant of the Peacock Buddha Mother¡¯s bloodline!


    Now, with Wei Zongyuan murdered, it was undoubtedly an earth-shattering moment.


    ¡°Big news! Wei Zongyuan was very likely killed by Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    Just as everyone was shocked by Wei Zongyuan¡¯s death and identity, suddenly, more news came out.<div>


    With the news, the Buddha Source Empire was undoubtedly hit by a super nuclear bomb.


    ¡°If it really was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s doing, I¡¯m afraid not even Ji Wudi or the Celestial Burial Academy can protect Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian has condensed the nine invincible Sword Hearts and two Divine Elixirs! A figure of unparalleled brilliance! Wouldn¡¯t the Peacock n and the Demon Sky Sword God actually want to kill Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°Wei Zongyuan is a direct descendant of the Peacock Buddha Mother¡¯s bloodline! The Peacock n and the Demon Sky Sword God might really be determined to kill Yang Xiaotian!¡±


    As the various parties were shaken by this development, more news came out that experts from the Peacock n had emerged in full force and, along with the Demon Sky Sword God, were all rushing toward the Celestial Burial Academy.


    The Peacock n even dered that whoever dared to shelter the murderer would be opposing the Peacock n and the entire Buddha Source!


    ¡°`


    Shortly, tens of thousands of experts from the Peacock n and the Demon Sky Sword Demon arrived at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    However, just when the Peacock n and the Demon Sky Sword God had arrived at the Celestial Burial Academy and demanded the surrender of their target, suddenly, the strongest old ancestor of the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, Liu Xingyu, dered that anyone who dared to harm a single hair on Yang Xiaotian would die!


    The words of Liu Xingyu, the strongest old ancestor of the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, astonished everyone.


    Nobody had expected that at this time, Liu Xingyu, the strongest old ancestor of the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, would issue such a ruthless statement.


    Liu Xingyu undoubtedly represented the entire Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    ¡°Why would the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect protect Yang Xiaotian?!¡± many old ancestors questioned, bewildered.<div>


    Everyone couldn¡¯t understand why the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect would be willing to wage war with the Peacock n over a single Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Is this the prelude to a war of the gods?¡± various sect experts muttered anxiously.


    If the Peacock n and the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect were to go to war, it was feared it would affect the entire Buddha Source Empire.


    While everyone in the Buddha Source Empire trembled with fear, Yang Xiaotian finally refined the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.


    As for the affairs of the outside world, Yang Xiaotian was unaware.


    ¡°Young master, where shall we go now?¡± the three Iceme Kylin asked.


    ¡°The Hundred n Empire.¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered briefly and decided to head for the Hundred n Empire.


    Now that he had found the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword and settled matters in the Buddha Source Empire, it was time to search for the Innate Divine Iron in the Hundred n Empire.


    As for the Zhongzhou Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, there would be time to visit after he returned from the Hundred n Empire.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and the three Iceme Kylin devotedly steered the Abyssal Spaceship towards the Hundred n Empire.


    The Hundred n Empire was located at the edge of the Azure God Continent, a distant journey away. En route, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Thousand Buddha Sword Technique and contemted the Thousand Buddha Sword Dao within the confines of the Abyssal Spaceship.


    If he could fullyprehend the Thousand Buddha Sword Dao, then he could hope to condense an eleventh Invincible Sword Heart.


    During the day, besides contemting the Thousand Buddha Sword Dao, he also honed his control over the two Divine mes to refine Divine Grade elixirs and weapons.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s skills in alchemy and artifact refining became increasingly exquisite.


    While Yang Xiaotian immersed himself in training, the Iceme Kylin, Azure Thunder Python, and Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor also practiced diligently.


    Over these days, with the aid of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Saint Grade elixirs, the cultivation levels of the three soared, especially that of Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, who was on the verge of a breakthrough to Divine Spirit.


    The Abyssal Spaceship passed through one empire after another.


    Finally, the Hundred n Empire loomed in the distance.


    Tieshan Vige was a small vige within the Hundred n Empire and a settlement where the Human Race thrived, neighboring the Dwarf Tribe.


    The vige was not populous, with only a few hundred people.


    At this moment, the setting sun was generously casting its golden rays, covering every corner of Tieshan Vige.


    At the vige entrance, a child of eight or nine swung his arms, forcefully hammering a piece of iron, which based on its shape, appeared to be intended for sword-making.


    Due to frequently hammering iron, the child¡¯s arms were much more robust than those of his peers.


    As the child hammered away, four figures appeared in the distance against the backdrop of the setting sun, none other than Yang Xiaotian and hispanions who hade from the Buddha Source Empire to the Hundred n Empire.


    ¡°ng, ng, ng!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian could hear the sound of hammering from afar.<div>


    Seeing a child of such a young age hammering iron, Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    ¡°This little guy¡¯s hammering technique is pretty skilled,¡± the Iceme Kylin said with augh, ¡°He¡¯s using the Hundred Waves Technique!¡±


    ¡°At such a young age, to be able to use the Hundred Waves Technique so skillfully is impressive,¡± the Azure Thunder Python also nodded and said with a smile.


    As Yang Xiaotian and hispanions drew closer, the child also noticed them. He put down his hammer and looked at them warily, ¡°Who are you looking for in Tieshan Vige?¡±


    Seeing the child¡¯s caution, Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°Little brother, we¡¯re passing by this ce and would like to go to the Dwarf Tribe. Could you tell us the way?¡±


    Unexpectedly, the child shook his head and advised, ¡°You better not go to the Dwarf Tribe right now.¡±

 Chapter 337: 337: Tieshan Village

    Chapter 337: Tieshan Vige


    Having the child advise them not to visit the Dwarf Tribe anytime soon came as a surprise to Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    ¡°Why?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked curiously.


    Just then, a pleasant voice rang out, ¡°Because something happened to the Dwarf Tribe a few days ago.¡±


    A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old approached them.


    She was dressed simply, with a refined air of purity, her eyes lively, exuding a rustic beauty.


    ¡°Sister,¡± the child eximed upon seeing the girl.


    Something happened?


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised; he sped his fists and said, ¡°May I know what has befallen the Dwarf Tribe? I would be grateful if thedy could inform us.¡±


    The girl didn¡¯t hide anything and exined, ¡°A few days ago, the Dwarf Tribe was attacked by members of the Elf n, causing many casualties. They have activated a Grand Array and are in full defense, refusing entry to anyone into their tribe.¡±


    The three members of the Iceme Qilin exchanged nces.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.


    ¡°May I know what the young master intends to do in the Dwarf Tribe?¡± the girl asked probingly.


    After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I am looking for Innate Divine Iron. I heard that the Dwarf Tribe has a piece, so I wanted to enter their tribe.¡±


    The girl looked at him oddly.


    Because the Elf n wanted to seize that piece of Innate Divine Iron from the Dwarf Tribe, this had been the cause of continuous conflicts between the two races.


    This young man actually also wanted that piece of Innate Divine Iron?


    ¡°You should give up on that piece of Innate Divine Iron,¡± the child interjected. ¡°That piece is the Dwarf Tribe¡¯s ancestral treasure, and they will never agree to give it to you.¡±


    ¡°The conflict between the Dwarf Tribe and the Elf n arose because the elves tried to seize the Innate Divine Iron,¡± the child added.


    Yang Xiaotian broke out in a cold sweat.


    No wonder the girl had looked so strange just now.


    At that moment, the girl spoke up, ¡°My grandfather knows the n Leader of the Dwarf Tribe. But, he went out mining a few days ago and won¡¯t be back for over a month.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was initially pleased, but then was at a loss for words.


    ¡°Do you know where your grandfather went to mine?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The girl shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t know about that. He said he won¡¯t return for over a month. If you aren¡¯t in a rush, you can wait here for my grandfather to return, but I cannot guarantee that he will agree to take you with him.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian sped his fists and said, ¡°Thank you, miss.¡± He then offered a piece of refined iron to her.


    Both the girl and the child were startled upon seeing the refined iron in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, ¡°Millennium Cold Iron?!¡± They were so frightened that they immediately shook their heads, ¡°This is too valuable. It¡¯s only right for us to help the weaker Human Race.¡± They were adamant about not epting it.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to let it go.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian chatted with the girl, asking about things rted to the Dwarf n and the Elf n.


    The group gradually became familiar with each other.<div>


    Through casual conversation, Yang Xiaotian learned that the vigers of Tieshan Vige mostly had the surname Tie; the girl and the child were respectively named Tie Qin and Tie Xiaodan.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help butugh upon hearing the child¡¯s name, Tie Xiaodan.


    Once they became familiar, Tie Qin, noticing that it was gettingte, said, ¡°Young Master Yang, it¡¯s getting dark. There are many mountains nearby, and plenty of Fierce Beasts, especially at night when they are more active. Why don¡¯t you stay in the vige overnight?¡±


    ¡°There is an empty courtyard on the north side of the vige.¡±<div>


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to speak, a burly young man emerged from the entrance of the vige and said, ¡°Sister Qin, we in Tieshan Vige do not allow strangers of unknown background to enter!¡±


    ¡°This kid and his followers have an unknown origin, they cannot enter the vige!¡± The tone was hostile.


    Seeing the young man, Tie Qin¡¯s pretty face darkened, ¡°Tie Wanpeng, our Tieshan Vige only prohibits outsiders with unknown origins from entering, not people from the Human Race.¡±


    Empowered by his status as a disciple from Iron Fan Sect, Tie Wanpeng had been harboring ill intentions towards her ever since he returned to Tieshan Vige a few days ago from the sect.


    Upon hearing this, Tie Wanpeng blocked Yang Xiaotian¡¯s way, shaking his head, ¡°I said, they can¡¯t go in.¡±


    As Tie Qin was about to speak, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Miss Tie, we don¡¯t need to enter the vige.¡±


    For him and the few Iceme Qilins, it was all the same no matter where they were.


    Tie Wanpeng then pushed his luck, ¡°Kid, you know what¡¯s good for you!¡± and then said, ¡°You¡¯d better get as far away as possible.¡±


    ¡°Get lost?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at him.


    Tie Wanpeng said arrogantly, ¡°Yes, not only is the ce where you¡¯re standing now ours, Tieshan Vige¡¯s.¡±


    He then pointed at the surrounding mountain peaks and forests, ¡°There, there, all of it belongs to our Tieshan Vige.¡±


    ¡°Every ce you can see belongs to our Tieshan Vige.¡±


    ¡°Get out of our Tieshan Vige territory, do you understand?!¡±<div>


    The three Iceme Qilins¡¯ eyes were cold.


    Tie Qin red at Tie Wanpeng, ¡°Tie Wanpeng, what nonsense are you spouting.¡± Then she said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his nonsense, those mountain peaks, those forests are not ours, Tieshan Vige¡¯s.¡±


    At that moment, Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor stepped forward, put a hand on the other¡¯s shoulder, and with a casual flick, Tie Wanpeng was sent flying, disappearing without a trace.


    Tie Qin and Tie Xiaodan could only stare dumbfounded as Tie Wanpeng was flung away by Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The two looked at Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor in shock.


    They knew that Tie Wanpeng was a disciple of Iron Fan Sect and had just returned to the vige a few days ago. He had demonstrated his strength in front of the vigers, being a seventh-tier Martial King capable of killing a level three Fierce Beast with a single punch, yet he was casually sent flying by the middle-aged man before them.


    After her surprise, Tie Qin hesitantly said, ¡°Young Master Yang, that Tie Wanpeng, he is a disciple of Iron Fan Sect.¡±


    ¡°Iron Fan Sect?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    Tie Xiaodan nodded earnestly, ¡°Iron Fan Sect is very powerful, thergest sect in Qinghe City.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled at this information, not taking it to heart. Then, he led the group of Iceme Qilins to a nearby grove where they cut down trees to build fourrge wooden houses and enclosed them with a spacious courtyard.


    Since Tie Qin¡¯s grandfather wouldn¡¯t return for over a month, he decided to wait there for his return.


    Seeing this, Tie Qin didn¡¯t try to persuade Yang Xiaotian any further.


    The night was tranquil.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was inside the wooden house,prehending the Thousand Buddha Sword Path.


    On the way here, he had alreadypletely mastered the Thousand Buddha Sword Technique; now, the only thing left was to integrate it and fully understand the Thousand Buddha Sword Path.


    In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Thousand Buddha Sword Technique over and over again, as the eleventh Sword Heart in his body flickered in and out of existence.


    He continued practicing untilte into the night when he finally stopped.


    Early the next day, while Yang Xiaotian was still cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, he heard the rhythmic sound of hammering iron in the distance.


    Yang Xiaotian ceased his cultivation and walked through the grove to the road, where he saw Tie Xiaodan wielding a hammer, shaping the iron block from yesterday into a sword form. After hammering for a while, Tie Xiaodan put the iron block back into the furnace beside him to heat it up again.


    It was the most primitive method of Artifact Refining.


    Generally, both Artifact Refiners and Alchemists use Heaven and Earth Fire for their craft; those unable to control Heaven and Earth Fire would rely on furnace fire for Artifact Refining.

 Chapter 338: 338 Qinghe City

    Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Qinghe City


    Tie Xiaodan¡¯s face lit up with joy as he saw Yang Xiaotian approaching, ¡°Brother Yang.¡±


    Tie Wanpeng was the vige bully, and these past few days, he had been pestering Tie Xiaodan¡¯s sister. Yesterday, Yang Xiaotian taught Tie Wanpeng a lesson, which made him feel much closer to Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Up so early for artifact refining?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile.


    This Tie Xiaodan had a kind of tenacity about him, very simr to Yang Xiaotian when he was young.


    With a wide smile, Tie Xiaodan said, ¡°I want to train the Hundred Waves Technique to the Minor Achievement Realm and then take the Iron Fan Sect¡¯s assessment to be a disciple of the Iron Fan Sect¡¯s Artifact Refining Hall!¡±


    The Iron Fan Sect was thergest and most formidable sect in Qinghe City, and bing a disciple in the Iron Fan Sect¡¯s Artifact Refining Hall was his biggest dream at present.


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, ¡°Who taught you this Hundred Waves Technique?¡±


    ¡°My grandfather,¡± Tie Xiaodan said, his face beaming with pride as he mentioned his grandfather. ¡°My grandpa is very impressive; he¡¯s the best at refining artifacts in our vige.¡±


    He went on to say, ¡°He can control the Heaven and Earth Fire within a fifty-meter radius for artifact refining. He¡¯s actually capable of forging high-level treasures.¡±


    Being able to forge high-level treasures was indeed a remarkable feat in Qinghe City.<div>


    That was also why Tie Wanpeng, despite his ill intentions towards Tie Xiaodan¡¯s sister, dared not force himself on her.


    With a smile, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Controlling fifty meters of Heaven and Earth Fire for artifact refining is indeed impressive.¡±


    In Divine Sea Country, only the four Grandmasters of Alchemy could control fifty meters of Heaven and Earth Fire.


    Tie Xiaodan then said, ¡°My sister says that you, Brother Yang, must be a disciple from a major n of our Human Race, and that you must be very good at refining artifacts as well.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m not a disciple of any major n, but as for refining artifacts, I can make Innate Spirit Instruments.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yang, you¡¯re amazing to be able to forge Innate Spirit Instruments,¡± Tie Xiaodan eximed in admiration. ¡°Li Ting, the number one artifact refining genius of Qinghe City, forged an Innate Spirit Instrument at the age of thirteen. My grandpa says he¡¯s destined to be the top artifact refining master of Qinghe City.¡±


    After that, Yang Xiaotian and Tie Xiaodan chatted casually for a while.


    In the Hundred n Empire, the practice of refining artifacts was widespread; it was amon sight in every street and alley.


    However, among the Hundred n Empire, the strongest at artifact refining were the Dwarf n.


    Although the Dwarf n was no longer as glorious as in ancient times, their artifact refining skills were still the strongest in the Hundred n Empire.


    Within the Hundred n Empire, there were nearly a hundred ns, including the Dwarf n, Elf n, Human Race, Tree n, Sky Demon n, Giant n, Shi n, Three-Eyed River n, Charm n, and others.


    That¡¯s why it was known as the Hundred n Empire.


    In the Hundred n Empire, the Human Race was weak, with the Elf n and the Sky Demon n being the strongest.


    Even though the Human Race of the Hundred n Empire had Divine Spirits to support them, there were only two Divine Spirits, and they had just broken through a few hundred years ago.


    In terms of strength, they were not as powerful as the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent his days cultivating the Thousand Buddha Sword Path in the small forest and practicing the Primordial Dragon Art at night; asionally, he would give Tie Xiaodan some pointers on artifact refining in the morning.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian only gave a few casual pointers, they significantly improved Tie Xiaodan¡¯s artifact refining skills.


    Knowing that Yang Xiaotian would offer her brother some advice on artifact refining in the morning, Tie Qin also began to arrive at the entrance of the vige early each day.


    In thest few days, Yang Xiaotian and the Iceme Kylin tried to visit the Dwarf Tribe.<div>


    However, just as Tie Qin had said, the Dwarf Tribe was on full guard, activating their Grand Array and refusing to see anyone.


    Yang Xiaotian could do nothing about it.


    Since the Dwarf n was not receiving visitors, he certainly couldn¡¯t force his way in.


    If things turned sour with the Dwarf n, then he could forget about the Innate Divine Iron.<div>


    He could only wait for Grandpa Tie Qin to return.


    One day, as Yang Xiaotian was browsing the artifact refining techniques of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God in the courtyard, he saw Tie Xiaodan peering around outside.


    ¡°Xiaotian, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile upon seeing Tie Xiaodan.


    Scratching his head sheepishly, Tie Xiaodan said, ¡°Sister said she¡¯s going to Qinghe Cityter to buy some things and asked me toe over and see if you wanted to join us?¡±


    After a brief moment of contemtion, Yang Xiaotian replied, ¡°Alright.¡±


    He also wanted to visit Qinghe City and take the opportunity to inquire about some matters.


    ¡°Great, I¡¯ll go tell Sister right now.¡± Tie Xiaodan, excited that Yang Xiaotian had agreed, happily took off.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled.


    A short whileter, Yang Xiaotian and a few others left the grove and reached the road, where they saw Tie Qin dressed in a light green dress, looking pure and pretty.


    Tie Qin was already about fifteen or sixteen, with a burgeoning chest that was quite appealing.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotiane out, Tie Xiaodan excitedly waved and said with a smile, ¡°Big Brother Yang, doesn¡¯t my sister look nice in that dress? She usually doesn¡¯t wear it.¡±


    Tie Qin red at her brother: ¡°You talk too much.¡±


    Yang Xiaotianmented, ¡°It does look nice.¡±<div>


    Tie Qin¡¯s face turned red, her shyness evident.


    And so, the group headed towards Qinghe City.


    Since they rarely had the chance to visit Qinghe City, Tie Xiaodan was very happy along the way, talking nonstop.


    When they arrived at Qinghe City, it wasn¡¯t even noon yet.


    Perhaps because the New Year was approaching, Qinghe City was bustling with activity.


    After strolling around for a while, and because Yang Xiaotian needed to gather some information, he split up from Tie Qin and her brother and then arranged to meet themter at an inn in the city.


    After parting ways with Yang Xiaotian, Tie Qin and her brother went to the ore materials market to do their shopping.


    However, no sooner had they reached the market than they were confronted by several tall men.


    Recognizing them, Tie Qin¡¯s face changed. The ones blocking them were people from the neighboring Shi Family Vige, including Shi Sheng.


    Since Tieshan Vige had a mine, the Shi Family Vige coveted it, trying several times to take it over. Her grandfather had stepped in and had taught Shi Sheng¡¯s family a lesson; even Shi Sheng¡¯s grandfather had lost an arm to her own.


    Shi Sheng, looking at Tie Qin, sneered, ¡°Isn¡¯t this little sister Qin? Where are you nning to go?¡±


    Tie Qin said sharply, ¡°Shi Sheng, what do you want?¡±


    ¡°What do I want?¡± Shi Sheng¡¯s eyes were fierce as he drew a knife, ¡°Your grandfather cut off my grandfather¡¯s right arm, leaving him in so much pain that he can never refine artifacts again in this life. What do you think I want?¡±<div>


    At that moment, one of the Shi Family Vige experts suggested, ¡°Brother Sheng, the City Lord is currently offering a high price for Human Race girls; he needs the blood of Human Race maidens to practice the Yin Yang Union Technique. Rather than cutting off her arm, we should sell her to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shi Sheng paused, his eyes lighting up, ¡°Oh.¡±


    ¡°Each girl is worth quite a bit of money, and I hear that the prettier ones are worth at least a thousand gold pieces,¡± the expert from Shi Family Vige said with a smile.


    A thousand gold was certainly not a small amount for the people of Shi Family Vige.

 Chapter 339: 339: They Gave an Extra 100 Gold

    Chapter 339: Chapter 339: They Gave an Extra 100 Gold


    Tie Qin heard Shi Sheng and others actually wanted to sell her to Qinghe City Lord¡¯s Mansion, and moreover, the City Lord of Qinghe needed the blood of young girls for practicing the Yin Yang Union Technique. She couldn¡¯t help but turn pale with shock and said angrily, ¡°You dare!¡±


    Although she was young, she roughly understood what it meant to practice the Yin Yang Union Technique.


    Seeing Tie Qin¡¯s horrified expression, Shi Shengughed mockingly, ¡°We don¡¯t dare?¡±


    In the Hundred n Empire, the Elf n was powerful, controlling nearly one-third of the empire¡¯s cities.


    The City Lord of Qinghe was a direct disciple of the Elf n. Once Tie Qin was sold to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Qinghe, even if her grandfather fought to his death, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save her.


    Thinking of Tie Qin being drained of her vital blood by the City Lord of Qinghe and abused at will, Shi Sheng couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud.


    Not only could he earn a thousand gold pieces, but he could also make Elder Shi¡¯s granddaughter suffer a fate worse than death and Elder Shi grief-stricken to the point of not wanting to live. It was simply perfect!


    ¡°Little brother, run!¡± Tie Qin pushed Tie Xiaodan away, then thrust her long sword towards Shi Sheng and his people, suddenly flourishing her swordy.


    Tie Qin was at the tenth level of Innate, not weak in strength.


    However, as soon as she drew her sword, it was broken by Shi Sheng with a sh, then another strike hit her sword, instantly knocking it from her hand. Following that, Shi Sheng struck her with a palm and sent her flying.<div>


    ¡°Sister!¡± Tie Xiaodan roared as he rushed forward desperately.


    No sooner had he charged forward than he was kicked away by Shi Sheng, rolling several dozen meters before crashing into a stone post by the road.


    ¡°Little brother!¡± Tie Qin cried out.


    Shi Sheng sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s not dead yet,¡± then approached and captured Tie Qin, saying, ¡°You¡¯d better worry about yourself first, think about what the City Lord will do to you tonight!¡±


    After that, he ignored Tie Xiaodan and, together with several people from Shi Family Vige, captured Tie Qin and swaggered off to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    Spitting blood, Tie Xiaodan struggled to chase after them, but as soon as he stood up, he nearly fell again. After a long struggle, he stumbled in the direction where Yang Xiaotian had left.


    At that time, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions had finished gathering information and were walking out of a certain mercantile association.


    As he came out, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t very good.


    In the Hundred n Empire, the status of the Human Race was worse than he had imagined.


    Many families and sects of the Human Race had even attached themselves to the Elf n and Sky Demon n in order to survive.


    To put it bluntly, many humans were servants to the Elf and Sky Demon ns.


    In the Hundred n Empire, the Human Race often needed to act ording to the whims of the Elf and Sky Demon ns.


    Even many high-ranking members of the Human Race had be servants andckeys of the Elf and Sky Demon ns.


    In some important asions of the Hundred n Empire, sometimes humans did not even have the right to sit.


    Just now, when he was gathering information, the staff of the mercantile association was dismissive of him.


    Had he not produced a few lower-grade spirit stones, the other party probably wouldn¡¯t even have been interested in speaking to him.


    Yang Xiaotian looked up at the sky.


    The sky was somewhat gray.


    It seemed as if it was about to rain.<div>


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was in a bad mood, the three Iceme Qilins didn¡¯t dare to speak.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were heading to the agreed-upon tavern, they saw a bloodied Tie Xiaodan staggering toward them through the crowd.


    Seeing it was Tie Xiaodan, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face changed, and he quickly went forward to support him.


    ¡°Xiaotie, who hurt you? Where is your sister?¡± Yang Xiaotian bellowed in rage, while hastily taking out a supreme Endless Life Pill for Xiaotie to swallow.<div>


    Having swallowed the Elixir, Tie Xiaodan¡¯splexion improved significantly. He clutched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and cried out desperately, ¡°Brother Yang, it was the people from Shi Family Vige, they took my sister, they are going to sell her to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion!¡±


    ¡°They said the City Lord is buying a batch of Human Race girls, and needs the blood essence of Human Race young girls to practice the Yin Yang Union Technique!¡±


    ¡°They also mentioned my sister could sell for a thousand gold.¡±


    Tie Xiaodan sobbed, ¡°Brother Yang, please save my sister, save my sister.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was uncontrobly furious.


    He knew that the City Lord of Qinghe City was of the Elf n.


    They were brazenly acquiring Human Race girls to use their blood essence to practice the Yin Yang Union Technique?


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was also fuming with demonic fire in his eyes.


    Using the blood essence of Human Race girls to practice the Yin Yang Union Technique was utterly monstrous, even more so than their Demon Race. These Human Race girls, once drained of their blood essence, often endured such torture that life was worse than death, and they wouldn¡¯t live long.


    Yang Xiaotian spoke with a chilling voice to the three followers of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, ¡°To the City Lord¡¯s Mansion!¡± His voice seemed to float out from Hell itself, causing those who passed by to shiver with cold.


    Right then, Shi Sheng and a few others, apanied by Tie Qin, arrived at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. The Steward of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion looked Tie Qin up and down, confirmed she was a virgin, and smiled, ¡°Nice looks, not bad.¡± He then tossed a bag of gold to Shi Sheng and the others: ¡°Here¡¯s eleven hundred gold.¡±


    They had been given an extra hundred gold.


    Shi Sheng and the others joyfully took the gold, ¡°Thank you, Steward.¡±<div>


    ¡°Which n are you from?¡± asked the Steward cheerfully, feeling good.


    ¡°We are from Shi Family Vige,¡± Shi Sheng quickly replied.


    ¡°If you have more of such quality, bring them here, and I¡¯ll find you some jobs next time,¡± the Steward promised.


    Shi Sheng and hispanions expressed their thanks profusely.


    At that moment, Tie Xiaodan was leading Yang Xiaotian and the others to the outside of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions reached the exterior of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, they saw Shi Sheng and his party leaving.


    To see Tie Xiaodan surprised Shi Sheng greatly, evidently not expecting that, after a kick from him, Xiaodan would still be as lively and agile as a dragon.


    ¡°You¡¯re still not dead?¡± After his surprise, Shi Shengughed, ¡°What, you want toe and save your sister? Your sister is inside.¡± Then, lifting the pouch of money proudly, he added, ¡°Eleven hundred gold, they gave an extra hundred. It seems your sister¡¯s virgin blood is quite valuable.¡±


    Upon hearing that his sister had been sold, Tie Xiaodan¡¯s eyes turned blood-red, and in a rage, he charged at Shi Sheng.


    ¡°Seeking death!¡± Shi Sheng sneered coldly, lifting a hand and aiming a direct blow at Xiaodan¡¯s head.


    As an Innate Tenth Stage powerhouse, his palm could turn Xiaodan¡¯s head to mush.


    However, just as his hand was about tond, it suddenly stopped, suspended in midair.


    His hand was being held, seized by Yang Xiaotian at some point.<div>


    Shi Sheng was taken aback, then red fiercely at Yang Xiaotian and swung his arm with all his might, ¡°Boy, which vige are you from? Scram!¡± as he tried to fling Yang Xiaotian away.


    To his shock, his arm wouldn¡¯t budge.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were icy as he applied force to his grip, and immediately, the sound of bones shattering echoed.


    Shi Sheng screamed miserably, looking down to see his right hand crushed to pieces by Yang Xiaotian. Roaring in rage, he raised his left hand and frantically hammered it toward Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face.

 Chapter 340: 340 Who are you, how dare you!

    Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Who are you, how dare you!


    ¡°`


    However, just as he thrust out with his left hand, it was caught by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s left hand.


    Shi Sheng¡¯s hands were held as if mped by iron hoops, unable to move his arms. He furiously yelled, ¡°You motherf¡ª¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were cold as he forcefully yanked with his left hand. Suddenly, blood sprayed into the air, Shi Sheng screamed in agony, nearly fainting from the pain as his entire left arm had been torn off cleanly from the shoulder.


    The guards at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion¡¯s main gate were initially happy to watch the drama unfold but ended up with blood all over their faces.


    As the guards from City Lord¡¯s Mansion felt their faces and saw the blood, they became enraged.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian gave another tug with his right hand.


    Shi Sheng was in such excruciating pain that he fainted and fell rigidly to the ground.


    His right arm had also been torn off cleanly from the shoulder.


    Both arms torn off from the roots.<div>


    Just as the few guards of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion had wiped the blood off their faces, they were sttered with it once again.


    Tie Xiaodan was stunned, and so were the other few experts from Shi Family Vige.


    Yang Xiaotian looked over at the remaining few experts of the Shi Family Vige.


    The remaining few experts from Shi Family Vige were terrified, their faces pale and eyes filled with horror.


    One guard from City Lord¡¯s Mansion, touching the blood on his face, exploded in anger, ¡°Kid, do you fucking want to die?¡± he roared as he threw a punch at Yang Xiaotian.


    These guards were all from the Human Race.


    Yang Xiaotian raised his hand and caught the guard¡¯s furious punch.


    Seeing his fist caught by Yang Xiaotian, the guard said in a deep voice, ¡°Your mother¡¯s courage to block!¡±


    Usually, when they struck, those of the Human Race didn¡¯t dare to block.


    Even those with greater strength than theirs dared not fight back.


    However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Yang Xiaotian twisted his hand, and a ¡°crack¡± noise resounded. The guard¡¯s right fist was grotesquely twisted into the shape of a corkscrew, with his wrist shattered beyond repair.


    He screamed miserably, looking at Yang Xiaotian with eyes full of disbelief.


    Immediately afterwards, Yang Xiaotian threw a fierce punch.


    Itnded squarely on his abdomen.


    Thud!


    The sound was like a beating drum.


    The long-lost Asura Force was disyed once more.


    The guard was sent flying, crashing onto the stone lion beside the main gate, and then tumbling down from the lion¡¯s body.


    Tie Xiaodan and the few experts from Shi Family Vige were dumbfounded.<div>


    Those were guards from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, and not just any guards, but those of the Elf n¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    This young man from the Human Race actually came to the main gate of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion to attack the Mansion¡¯s guards!


    Yang Xiaotian turned his head to look at the other guards from City Lord¡¯s Mansion, whose previously arrogant demeanor now changed.


    Before the others could speak, Yang Xiaotian threw another sudden punch.<div>


    The power of the punch roared.


    It almost seemed as if an Asura was flying out with it.


    Thud!


    The Asura Force from the punch split into three, hitting the remaining three guards from City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    The three of them mmed hard against the cinnabar iron-ted main gate.


    City Lord¡¯s Mansion¡¯s iron-ted gate swayed precariously like a candle in the wind.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian crossed the grand entrance and walked towards a few other members of Shi Family Vige.


    The several members of Shi Family Vige were already scared witless, their faces as pale as death.


    In a sh, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure duplicated, and several Yang Xiaotians appeared!


    It was indeed a kind of ancient, Supreme Divine Power: the Invincible Clone.


    The several Yang Xiaotians threw punches simultaneously.


    All the members of Shi Family Vige were sted away, smashing through the rockery in front of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and then into the courtyard wall behind it.<div>


    The entire stretch of the wall copsed.


    Dust billowed everywhere.


    Tie Xiaodan was left dumbfounded as he gazed at the blown-off gates of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and its destroyed courtyard walls, havingpletely forgotten that he hade to rescue his sister.


    At this moment, atop the main hall of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, the Young City Lord Hai An was hosting a feast for the Iron Fan Sect¡¯s Great Elder Chen Sen and several other powerful members of the Qinghe City¡¯s great families, with Li Ting, who was greatly admired by Tie Xiaodan and known as Qinghe City¡¯s number one artifact refining genius, also present.


    Hai An, Li Ting, Chen Sen, and others were raising their cups amidughter when suddenly they heard a loud noiseing from outside, apanied by screams, leaving them all astonished.


    Someone causing trouble at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion?


    Everyone found it hard to believe that anyone would dare to cause trouble at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    ¡°Go and see what¡¯s going on,¡± Hai An said with a darkened expression to his subordinates, ¡°Disturbing my enjoyment! Bring them here, I will skin themyer byyer!¡±


    This wasn¡¯t the first time he¡¯d done such a thing, often hanging those who offended him in Qinghe City¡¯s square, then methodically peeling off their skinyer byyer.


    Hai An took great pleasure in their agonized screams and terror as they were skinned alive.


    His subordinates trembled, respectfully acknowledged the order, and then all departed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue drinking,¡± Hai An raised his cup and said with a smile to everyone in the hall.


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian continued forward, making his way towards the back of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.<div>


    Along the way, whenever he encountered guards attacking, he repelled them with a single punch, each blownding solidly.


    After sending who knows how many City Lord¡¯s Mansion guards flying, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the backyard.


    In the backyard, the City Lord¡¯s Mansion steward and guards were about to take Tie Qin for a wash-up when they heard the ongoing screams from the front courtyard; they were shocked and puzzled when they suddenly saw Yang Xiaotian and Tie Xiaodan along with a few others enter.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian and Tie Xiaodan, Tie Qin¡¯s face showed disbelief mixed with joy: ¡°Young Master Yang, little brother!¡±


    The City Lord¡¯s Mansion steward, bristling with anger, pointed at Yang Xiaotian and shouted, ¡°Who are you, so bold and brash, daring to barge into the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, a mere member of the Human Race!¡±


    ¡°And you dare to harm the City Lord¡¯s Mansion guards!¡±


    ¡°Which family do you belong to? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being exterminated down to the ninth generation?¡±


    He was so agitated that his fingers were trembling.


    In a sh, Yang Xiaotian had already reached him, and before the steward could react, Yang Xiaotian seized the steward¡¯s fingers and with a twist, the fingers were broken on the spot.


    The fingers are connected to the heart, so the pain deformed the steward¡¯s face. He bellowed, ¡°Kill him! Kill them all!¡±


    As the surrounding guards moved to strike, suddenly, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor flicked a finger, and dozens of strands of Demonic Qi shot out, knocking the surrounding guards away.


    When these guards hit the ground, their bodies were writhing with Demonic Qi, squirming inside them.


    All of them were rolling in agony.<div>


    Seeing this, the City Lord¡¯s Mansion steward was thoroughly terrified.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at him coldly, ¡°I really hate it when people point their fingers at me.¡± With that, he grabbed the other fingers on the steward¡¯s hands and twisted them violently.


    Hai An¡¯s few subordinates finally arrived, only to witness the scene of the steward¡¯s fingers being twisted and broken.


    The steward, being an Elf and the steward of Qinghe City¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion, had lived a life of luxury and had never suffered such pain before. He cried out in agony, tears streaming down his face.


    Hai An¡¯s several Elf subordinates, shocked and furious at the sight, couldn¡¯t believe that a Human would dare to openly attack a member of the Elf n!


    ¡°Brat, you dared toy hands on a member of the Elf n; you¡¯re going to die a very, very miserable death!¡± one of them said coldly as he drew the knife in his hand.

 Chapter 341: 341: It Seems to be for a Human Race Girl

    Chapter 341: Chapter 341: It Seems to be for a Human Race Girl


    The Elf Expert was at the ninth level of the Martial King, with True Yuan pouring into his de, which emitted a burst of glimmering light, radiating an intense chill.


    In Qinghe City, a ninth-level Martial King was definitely considered a master.


    However, no sooner had he drawn his de than Yang Xiaotian struck back with a p of his hand.


    Instantly, a huge golden palm imprint struck the opponent¡¯s body.


    Crack!


    The Elf Expert was pped away by Yang Xiaotian, flying through the air.


    Every bone and muscle in his body crackled with snapping sounds.


    When he hit the ground, hey there with his armor shattered, spitting out mouthfuls of blood with great effort.


    The other few Elf Experts couldn¡¯t help but gasp in shock, their faces changing color as they stepped back in terror.


    But just as they were retreating, they found that the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had appeared behind them at some unknown time.<div>


    Suppressing the fear in their hearts, one of them red at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Boy, have you thought about the consequences?¡±


    In the Hundred n Empire, for a member of the Human Race to dare attack the Elf n¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion and kill or injure so many of its experts was a crime punishable by the extermination of one¡¯s n!


    ¡°What difference does it make whether I¡¯ve thought about it or not?¡± Yang Xiaotian replied coldly, then he punched the Steward in the belly, sending him crashing into a distant pavilion, which was smashed to pieces.


    Soon enough, a foul smell wafted out.


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation level rose, the power of his Asura Force grew increasingly formidable, with almost every punch causing his opponents to spew excrement violently.


    Seeing the miserable state of the Steward, the few Elf Experts who had brash words ready choked them back down their throats.


    ¡°Our City Lord will be back soon, you won¡¯t be able to escape,¡± one of them said gravely.


    ¡°Escape? Who said we were going to escape?¡± Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, walking towards them.


    The Elves stepped back in surprise, and suddenly one of themunched a fierce attack on the Iceme Qilin.


    Apparently, this individual thought the Iceme Qilin was an easy target.


    Seeing the attacking, the Iceme Qilin couldn¡¯t be bothered to move and simply blew a breath, instantly turning the surroundings into a frozen world, unleashing a violent storm as if a Grade 19 hurricane had erupted.


    The Elf Expert was instantly blown away.


    By the time hended, his body had shattered into pieces of blue ice scattered on the ground.


    The remaining Elf Experts were just about to make a move on the Azure Thunder Python when they too were struck with terror and abruptly stopped.


    At that moment, the Azure Thunder Python also exhaled a breath.


    Instantly, the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder rolled and turned into a vast sea of lightning.


    The Elf Experts were panic-stricken, and before they could speak, they were engulfed by the rolling divine thunder.


    The divine thunder roared, carrying their bodies as it sted through wall after wall of the courtyard.


    By the time they hit the ground, they were reduced to several heaps of ck ash.<div>


    Tie Qin and Tie Xiaodan stood there,pletely stunned by the scene before them.


    ¡°Big Brother Yang, shall we leave now?¡± Tie Qin came to her senses and urged urgently, ¡°The City Lord¡¯s Mansion¡¯s army must be on their way!¡±


    ¡°Leave?¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t often visit the Elf n¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion. I¡¯d like to look around a little more.¡± He then led the Iceme Qilin and the rest towards the great hall of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    At this time, Hai An grew worried as his subordinates had been gone for a long while without return, his eyebrows furrowing.<div>


    The Great Elder of the Iron Fan Sect, Chen Sen, and Qinghe City¡¯s number one artifact refining prodigy, Li Ting, also found it odd.


    ¡°Young City Lord, something is wrong!¡± just then, an Elf Expert ran in, his voice trembling with fear, ¡°Young City Lord, they¡¯reing here!¡±


    ¡°They?¡± Hai An saw the terror on his subordinate¡¯s face, and his own face darkened, ¡°Who¡¯sing?¡±


    ¡°Those Human Race experts!¡± the Elf Expert stammered, ¡°They¡¯ve broken into the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and are heading this way!¡±


    ¡°What about Hai Long and the others?¡± Hai An barked angrily.


    Hai Long was that early-stage ninth-level Martial King Expert.


    ¡°Lord Hai Long and the others are dead!¡± the Elf Expert replied mournfully, ¡°All dead!¡±


    Everyone in the great hall was taken aback.


    Especially Chen Sen and Li Ting, who found it unbelievable.


    Upon hearing this, Hai An¡¯s rage was uncontainable. A few members of the Human Race dared to barge into their City Lord¡¯s Mansion and killed so many of their Elf Experts!


    ¡°This is seeking death, seeking death!¡± Hai An crushed a goblet in anger, ¡°What for?¡±


    He wanted to know why these people would barge into their City Lord¡¯s Mansion for no reason and kill so many of their Elf Experts!


    ¡°It seems to be for a Human Race girl!¡± the Elf Expert said, shaking, ¡°Today, the Steward bought a Human Race girl from some humans.¡±<div>


    ¡°A Human Race girl!¡± Hai An was incensed, ¡°For the sake of a Human Race girl, they dared to kill so many of our Elf experts! Then he asked, ¡°Are the city¡¯s armed forces on their way?¡±


    ¡°The city¡¯s armed forces have already rushed over,¡± the Elf Expert replied quickly, feeling slightly relieved.


    Just then, a scream sounded from outside the great hall, as an Elf Expert who was guarding the entrance was sted into the hall.


    The hall¡¯s floor was shattered inch by inch.


    Everyone was startled and looked up to see a young man in a light blue brocade robe walking in.


    Behind the young man were three tall subordinates, one ck, one blue, one green, and in addition to these three subordinates, there was a pair of siblings.


    The group was none other than Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    Upon entering, Yang Xiaotian scanned the dozen or so Human Race experts being entertained before his gaze settled on Hai An.


    Hai An stood up with Chen Sen, Li Ting, and the others and stepped forward from his seat, watching Yang Xiaotian coldly, ¡°Kid, which n are you from? How dare you defy your superiors and kill our Elf experts!¡±


    Defy superiors?


    At this, Yang Xiaotianughed.


    Clearly, in the eyes of Hai An and the other Elves, the Human Race was considered an inferior people.


    At this moment, the Great Elder of the Iron Fan Sect, Chen Sen, spoke up, ¡°Young man, which n are you from? If you kneel now and admit your guilt to the Young City Lord, considering our shared race, I can plead on your behalf.¡±<div>


    Li Ting also said, ¡°Elder Chen is right. If you are willing to kneel and admit your guilt to the Young City Lord, we can plead for you.¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python sneered at these words, ¡°What is he that our young master should kneel and admit guilt to him! Even if he wanted to carry our young master¡¯s shoes, we would find him too lowly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hai An was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

 Chapter 342: 342: You’ve Caused Big Trouble!

    Chapter 342: Chapter 342: You¡¯ve Caused Big Trouble!


    Chen Sen, Li Ting, and others¡¯ expressions changed when they heard the Azure Thunder Python say that Hai An was too lowly even to carry Yang Xiaotian¡¯s shoes.


    Who was Hai An?


    Hai An was none other than the Young City Lord of Qinghe City, with an iparably pure bloodline. Yet, a human expert had called him lowly!


    ¡°Good, very good!¡± Hai An red furiously at Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python. Never had his killing intent been so difficult to suppress.


    Just then, the sound of heavy footsteps rose as squads of heavily armored soldiers flooded into the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, encircling the grand hallpletely.


    Seeing the city¡¯s army arrive, Hai An¡¯s heart rxed slightly. He looked at Yang Xiaotian coldly, ¡°Lad, do you know what my greatest hobby is?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s to y you! To peel the skin off you humans,yer byyer! And then to listen to your screams and wails!¡±


    Then, pointing his sword at the Iceme Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, and Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, his eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light, ¡°And you too, I will strip your skins off,yer byyer!¡±


    He shouted at themander of the arriving troops, ¡°Seize them for me!¡±


    Themander answered respectfully and barked, ¡°Seize all these humans!¡± After speaking, he drew his sword and rushed toward Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Thousands of skilled soldiers, each with a long spear, simultaneously charged at the Iceme Qilin and others.


    Seeing themander charging at him, Yang Xiaotian did not strike, but with a breath, released a dragon chant that turned into a terrifying sonic wave, sweeping through heaven and earth like a hundred-level tsunami.


    It was the Supreme Divine Power of the Long n, the Heavenly Dragon Ten Sounds!


    Themander¡¯s sword crumbled into dust inch by inch.


    The man was blown away, with his hands, feet, and face bursting open, his blood spraying everywhere; even his eyes exploded.


    In almost an instant, he turned into a cloud of blood mist.


    The sonic wave then continued to roll over the attacking soldiers.


    One soldier after another was sent flying, copsing and bursting in mid-air.


    Atst, the thunderous wave hit the grand hall¡¯s doors.


    The doors too were blown away.


    The bodies of those soldiers were hurled out of the grand hall.


    The rockery and pavilions outside the grand hall were smashed to pieces.


    After the sonic wave passed, the grand hall was a scene of devastation; wherever the wave had traveled, only ruins remained. The grand hall was once again empty.


    The dense crowd of skilled soldiers was reduced by more than half.


    Hai An¡¯s eyes were wide with disbelief.


    Chen Sen, Li Ting, and others were startled, their eyes filled with horror.


    At that moment, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was wrapped in rolling Demonic Qi, a giant demon shadow forming behind him, towering and grand.


    With a single breath, like a giant demon opening its mouth, a terrifying force of devouring emerged. The essence and blood of the remaining soldiers flew out of their bodies, all rushing toward the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    As their essence drained away crazily, their bodies withered in the blink of an eye.<div>


    After consuming the essence blood of these soldiers, the eyes of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor turned blood-red, with Demonic Qi rolling around him, his demonic might overwhelming, overshadowing the entirety of Qinghe City.


    The million experts of Qinghe City felt as if a terrifying mountain weighed upon them.


    Hai An, Chen Sen, Li Ting, and others were pressed to the ground like dead dogs, unable to even rise, their fingers immovable.


    Hai Any there, looking at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor in terror.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to the Young City Lord Hai An of Qinghe City and looked at him coldly, ¡°You said just now you wanted to y the skin off us humans?¡±


    Hai An¡¯s face was bloodless and pale as he tremulously said, ¡°No matter how strong you are, you can¡¯t contend with the entire Elf n. If you dare to kill me, Her Majesty the Elf Queen will not let you go!¡±


    ¡°Is that so.¡± Yang Xiaotian lifted his foot and stomped down, crushing Hai An¡¯s head into the ground.


    The ground shook.


    Yang Xiaotian, indifferent, stomped again, pushing the other¡¯s head even deeper into the earth.


    Hai An¡¯s eyes, nose, and ears all spurted blood.


    He tried to breathe, but found that even breathing had be a luxury.


    Chen Sen, Li Ting, and the others looked at Hai An, who was at death¡¯s door, shocked and afraid. If Hai An were to die, they feared the repercussions when the City Lord of Qinghe City returned.


    But just as they were about to speak out, Yang Xiaotian crushed Hai An¡¯s head with a single stomp.


    Brain matter and blood sprayed out, covering them all.


    Seeing Hai An smashed to death, Chen Sen, Li Ting, and the others were ashen-faced.


    ¡°You¡¯ve caused a huge disaster!¡± Li Ting said with trembling horror, his face filled with despair. ¡°Hai An, the Young City Lord,es from the most noble lineage, the Blue Elf of the Elf n, and he is the only son, the biological son, of Hai Ba, the City Lord of Qinghe City.¡±


    ¡°The Elf n will not let you or your family off the hook!¡±<div>


    Chen Sen also spoke with fear, ¡°Lord Hai Ba will return soon, and he will surely ughter your entire n.¡±


    As he was about to say more, Yang Xiaotian kicked him and Li Ting, sending them flying out of the grand hall.


    A loud crash echoed.


    Chen Sen and Li Ting were smashed among the broken stones outside, coughing up blood.


    ¡°When Hai Ba returns, tell him I¡¯ll be waiting for him in Tieshan Vige,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Chen Sen and Li Ting, his voice detached.


    Chen Sen and Li Ting were shocked and angered.


    This time, however, none of them dared make a sound.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to the stunned Tie Qin and Tie Xiaodan.


    Walking like wooden chickens, Tie Qin and her brother followed Yang Xiaotian and hispanions, their minds muddled, as they left the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. The events of the day far exceeded their imagination.


    Only when Yang Xiaotian and hispanions vanished did Chen Sen and Li Ting dare to struggle up from the rubble, facing Hai An¡¯s corpse and the City Lord¡¯s Mansion in ruins, they were ovee with a sense of helplessness.


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯spletely over!¡± Chen Sen eximed in despair.


    The death of Hai An was a cataclysmic event.<div>


    ¡°We should get out of here quickly,¡± one of them said with a trembling voice.


    If Hai Ba came back and saw his son murdered, in his fury, he might just twist their heads off on the spot.


    Remembering Hai Ba¡¯s ruthless methods, Chen Sen shivered inwardly and dared not linger, fleeing the City Lord¡¯s Mansion with Li Ting and the others.

 Chapter 343: 343: The Ancient Ancestor of the Dwarf Clan

    Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Ancient Ancestor of the Dwarf n


    Several members of the Human Race broke into Qinghe City¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion to rescue a Human girl, killing Hai An and a group of elite members of the Elf n. The news shook countless Sects and Families in Qinghe City.


    ¡°The Young City Lord of Qinghe City had his head crushed by a Human youth! They say there was blood everywhere, a sight too horrible to endure!¡±


    ¡°They ughtered so many elite Elves just to save one Human girl, even killing the Young City Lord; he¡¯s mad, utterly mad!¡±


    One after another, influential figures from Sects and Families were enraged.


    After Yang Xiaotian and hispanions returned to Tieshan Vige, Xiaotian continued toprehend the Thousand Buddha Sword Path in the wooden house.


    As Xiaotian wasprehending the Thousand Buddha Sword Path, and his eleventh Sword Heart grew increasingly solidified, Hai Ba and a group of masters stood above the ruins of Qinghe City¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    Hai Ba looked at the corpses of the elite Elves, his eyes filled with terrifying murderous intent.


    He walked over to his son¡¯s body, looking at his son¡¯s crushed head, and felt his heart spasming.


    He remained silent.


    Just like that, he stood there staring at his son¡¯s body, doing his best to suppress the raging murderous intent in his heart.<div>


    His subordinates stood behind him in silence, no one daring to speak.


    ¡°He¡¯s in Tieshan Vige?¡± After a long while, Hai Ba finally spoke.


    ¡°Yes, my lord, the Human youth is in Tieshan Vige,¡± a subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to report.


    ¡°Bring those few from Shi Family Vige here,¡± Hai Ba said in a voice that sent chills down one¡¯s spine.


    Soon, Shi Sheng and several other masters from Shi Family Vige were all brought before Hai Ba.


    Shi Sheng, whose arms had already been ripped off by Yang Xiaotian, looked at Hai Ba with a face filled with terror: ¡°City Lord, this has nothing to do with us; we never imagined this would happen.¡±


    ¡°We beg you to spare us, City Lord.¡±


    However, before he could finish, Hai Ba thrust his left hand into his chest and forcefully dug out his heart. With a squeeze, he crushed it.


    The other masters from Shi Family Vige were so terrified that their hearts stopped.


    Hai Ba¡¯s expression was unreadable as he dug out and crushed each of their hearts.


    ¡°Mobilize all our forces to investigate! I want to know which family that despicable Human youth belongs to!¡±


    ¡°I will make him regret being born into this world!¡±


    Hai Ba¡¯s face was fierce, his appearance resembling that of a madman, his hands dripping with blood, like a demon from Hell.


    Several days passed.


    Yang Xiaotian spent all those days in the small woods cultivating the Thousand Buddha Sword Path andprehending Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    That night.


    While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating the Thousand Buddha Sword Path, his body suddenly radiated a burst of Nine-Colored Sword Qi.


    Following the tenth beam of Nine-Colored Sword Aura, the eleventh beam burst forth.


    Eleven beams of Nine-Colored Sword Aura converged together, illuminating the entire small woods, turning even the night sky into a palette of nine colors.<div>


    Feeling the power of Xiaotian¡¯s eleven Sword Hearts, the three Iceme Qilins were astonished.


    ¡°Eleven Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°The young master has condensed the eleventh Sword Heart!¡±


    The three were overjoyed.<div>


    Nine Sword Hearts were already the stature of a Sword God.


    Ten Sword Hearts were unparalleled through the ages!


    Eleven Sword Hearts?


    The only one in this world!


    That¡¯s right, the only one in this world.


    As far as they knew, no one on the Azure God Continent had yet managed to condense eleven Sword Hearts.


    At present, even the strongest Sword God had only ten Sword Hearts.


    In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian felt the power of the eleven Sword Hearts and suddenly thrust out with his sword.


    Instantly, a Sword Qi shot through tree after tree, passing through the small forest and striking the mountain outside the forest.


    Just now, his Sword Qi had clearly gone through the trunks of these trees, but the trees werepletely unharmed.


    However, a mountain in the far distance was directly pierced by the Sword Qi, sting a sword hole dozens of meters in diameter that ran through the entire mountain, exiting out the other side.


    ¡°Congrattions, Young Master, on condensing eleven Sword Hearts. You are unrivaled through the ages!¡± The three from the Iceme Qilin approached Yang Xiaotian, all saying excitedly.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his hand with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just eleven Sword Hearts, nowhere near being unrivaled through the ages.¡± He then added with a smile, ¡°If I can condense fourteen Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, that would truly make me unrivaled through the ages.¡±<div>


    The three from the Iceme Qilin were dumbstruck.


    Fourteen?


    They couldn¡¯t imagine how invincible Yang Xiaotian would be if he really could condense fourteen Sword Hearts.


    In fact, Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t just boasting. If he could tame more Divine Swords, then he would soon have the hope of, like the Lord of Azure God in the past, condensing the fourteenth Sword Heart.


    Now that he already had eleven Sword Hearts, if he couldprehend Thunderp Nine Heavens and condense the twelfth Sword Heart, there would only be two more to go.


    ¡°I wonder if the Hundred n Empire possesses any Divine Swords,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    Now, he was only two Divine Swords short of the hope to condense all fourteen Sword Hearts.


    Later, Yang Xiaotian asked the three if they had heard of any Divine Swords in the Hundred n Empire.


    The Azure Thunder Python pondered and then said, ¡°It is said that an Ancient Ancestor of the Dwarf n once forged a Divine Sword called the Divine Sword of Everything. However, with the disappearance of that Ancient Ancestor, the whereabouts of the Divine Sword of Everything also became a mystery.¡±


    ¡°The Divine Sword of Everything,¡± Yang Xiaotian repeated the name, then asked, ¡°What is the name of that Dwarf n Ancient Ancestor?¡±


    ¡°Named Man Lei,¡± said the Azure Thunder Python. ¡°It seems like the Dwarf n has also been continuously searching for the whereabouts of the Ancient Ancestor Man Lei. If Young Master wants to find Man Lei, perhaps you could ask the Dwarf n; they should have some information about Man Lei.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    However, he couldn¡¯t enter the Dwarf n territory at the moment and could only wait for Grandpa Tie Qin¡¯s return.<div>


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian learned from Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor that Hai Ba was investigating him these past few days and continually gathering experts from the Elf n.


    Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said respectfully, ¡°Young Master, shall I go and crush his head now?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°No need for now.¡±


    If Hai Ba wanted to gather Elf n experts, then let him gather them. The more, the better.


    Ten days blinked by.


    During these ten days, Ya Xiaotian mainly practiced Thunderp Nine Heavens andprehended the Ancient Thunder God Sword Path.


    Under the effect of the heavenly Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill, his cultivation level quickly rose to the second peak of the Emperor Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the third level of the Emperor Realm.


    The New Year was approaching, and auspicious snow was fluttering down.


    It was the end of another year.


    As Yang Xiaotian was practicing his swordsmanship in the snow-covered courtyard, he saw Tie Qin running into the small forest with a face full of excitement, waving to Yang Xiaotian from afar, ¡°Young Master Yang, my grandpa is back!¡±


    Upon hearing that Grandpa Tie Qin was back, Yang Xiaotian stopped practicing his swordsmanship and was overjoyed. Grandpa Tie Qin had returned early, which was indeed great news.

 Chapter 344: 344: Refining Artifacts without a Cauldron Furnace

    Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Refining Artifacts without a Cauldron Furnace


    ¡°Your grandfather is back!¡± Yang Xiaotian strode out of the courtyard, asking with joy.


    ¡°Yes, my grandfather is outside.¡± Tie Qin said with a brilliant smile, like a flower on the snow, ¡°He wanted toe in to thank you, but he was afraid of disturbing your cultivation.¡±


    As Yang Xiaotian hurried out of the grove, he saw at the entrance of the vige where Tie Xiaodan usually refined artifacts, a thin old man with snow-white hair, dressed in a green robe, standing in the cold snow, his robe fluttering.


    This was Tie Qin and Tie Xiaodan¡¯s grandfather, Tie Jianfeng.


    When Tie Jianfeng saw Yang Xiaotiane out, he walked over with Tie Xiaodan, and as soon as he was in front of Yang Xiaotian, he bowed deeply: ¡°This old man thanks the young master.¡±


    Clearly, he had already heard about Yang Xiaotian rescuing Tie Qin from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    ¡°You are too polite, senior,¡± Yang Xiaotian quickly helped Tie Jianfeng up.


    After Tie Jianfeng stood up, he looked at Yang Xiaotian in front of him, filled with emotion, having already heard about the incident at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Qinghe City on his way back.


    He kindly asked with a smile, ¡°I heard from Qin that Young Master Yang wants to enter the Dwarf Tribe?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, upon hearing this, did not hide anything, ¡°Not to conceal from senior, I have been searching for Innate Divine Iron, and I¡¯ve heard that the Dwarf Tribe possesses a piece.¡±<div>


    Tie Jianfeng nodded and said, ¡°The Dwarf Tribe indeed has a piece of Innate Divine Iron.¡± He then showed a troubled expression, ¡°I can take the young friend into the Dwarf Tribe, but that piece of Innate Divine Iron is a treasured legacy of the Dwarf Tribe, and it might be difficult for you to obtain it from them.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian quickly said, ¡°As long as senior can take me into the Dwarf Tribe, that¡¯s enough. As for the Innate Divine Iron, I will find a way myself.¡±


    The furrow in Tie Jianfeng¡¯s brow eased as he smiled and said, ¡°Alright, then I will take you to the Dwarf Tribe now.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, upon hearing this, could not have asked for more.


    So, under Tie Jianfeng¡¯s lead, Yang Xiaotian and the Iceme Qilin, among a few others, arrived at the Dwarf Tribe.


    This time, with Tie Jianfeng, they easily entered the Dwarf Tribe.


    Within the Dwarf Tribe, the buildings of the Dwarf n were very low.


    The cities of the Dwarf n were also small in stature.


    The city walls of human cities were generally dozens of meters high, but those of the Dwarf n were only a few meters tall.


    Upon entering the Dwarf n Royal City, at a nce, all were Dwarfs, nearly all of them about one meter three or one meter four in height.


    Yang Xiaotian, who was one meter seventy, walked on the streets of the Dwarf n and looked quite tall inparison.


    The streets of the Dwarf Tribe were wide, crowded with people, and the shops on both sides of the street were almost all artifact refining shops, with the rhythmic sound of hammering iron continuouslying forth.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was pondering how to speak when he met the Dwarf n Leader, suddenly, a loud boom resounded, shaking the entire Dwarf Tribe Mountains violently.


    Tie Jianfeng was taken aback and abruptly looked up into the sky to see the prohibition light of the Dwarf Tribe Grand Array surging continuously.


    ¡°Someone is attacking the Grand Array of the Dwarf Tribe!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian and the rest were also surprised.


    Boom!


    At that moment, a terrifying Sword Qi fell from the Nine Heavens, once again bombarding the Grand Array¡¯s prohibition of the Dwarf Tribe.


    The Dwarf Mountains shook violently once more.<div>


    The once peaceful Dwarf Royal City was suddenly in utter chaos.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Elf n! The Elf n Army hase!¡± someone shouted in astonishment.


    Within the Dwarf Royal City, squad after squad of the Dwarf Army flew out.


    Not only from the Dwarf Royal City, but also from other cities, regiment after regiment of the Dwarf army swarmed out.<div>


    Inside the Dwarf Royal Pce, an enormous airship flew out, and atop the airship, stood a host of strong warriors from the Dwarf n.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Dwarf n Leader, Man Fang,¡± Tie Jianfeng said as he spotted a burly dwarf on the prow of the airship.


    ¡°Let¡¯s follow and take a look,¡± Yang Xiaotian said without hesitation, immediately rising through the air with Tie Jianfeng and a few others, including the Iceme Qilin, to catch up to the airship.


    Soon, everyone arrived at the forefront of the Dwarf Mountains.


    Yang Xiaotian looked ahead and saw the sky filled with the Elf n Army, dressed in silver-grey armor that formed an overwhelming mass, almost eclipsing the sun, probably numbering in the tens of millions!


    The silver-grey armor, under the sunlight, refracted blinding rays of light.


    ¡°Xi Mo, stop dreaming. I¡¯ve told you, Innate Divine Iron is our Dwarf n¡¯s ancestral treasure, and we will not give it to you!¡± Man Fang, on the airship, red at Xi Mo, an ancestor of the Elf n.


    Xi Mo, one of the strongest ancestors of the Elf n, responded with a smile, ¡°Man Fang, wee with no ill intentions this time.¡± Saying this, he took out a golden seed the size of an egg.


    When the golden seed was revealed, it shone with dazzling light, and a surge of vitality spread out like the sea.


    ¡°A seed of the Life God Tree!¡± Everyone was astonished to see that seed.


    Yang Xiaotian was also surprised.


    The Life God Tree was the Elf n¡¯s inherited divine treasure, known for its many miraculous functions.


    The Liquid of Life produced by it was a holy medicine for healing.<div>


    Moreover, cultivating under the Life God Tree and absorbing its spiritual energy could greatly enhance one¡¯s cultivation.


    Currently, Yang Xiaotian needed two months to break through a minor realm, but with the aid of the tree¡¯s spiritual energy, he would undoubtedly need less than two months.


    Moreover, unlike elixirs, this spiritual energy came with no side effects whatsoever.


    Unexpectedly, in addition to a Life God Tree, the Elf n had a seed of the Life God Tree as well.


    ¡°Indeed, this is a seed of the Life God Tree,¡± Xi Mo said with a smile.


    Man Fang eyed the Life God Tree seed in the other¡¯s hand with a puzzled look, ¡°Do you intend to trade this Life God Tree seed for our Innate Divine Iron?¡±


    Xi Mo shook his head with a smile, ¡°Of course not.¡± Then he said, ¡°Man Fang, doesn¡¯t your Dwarf n pride itself on being a n of master artificers? Let¡¯s have a metalworking challenge. If you win, you take this Life God Tree seed!¡±


    ¡°If you lose, you give us the Innate Divine Iron!¡±


    Xi Mo¡¯s proposal caught everyone by surprise.


    After all, everyone knew that in terms of artifact creation, the Dwarf n was undoubtedly the strongest on the Azure God Continent.


    Xi Mo actually suggested a metalworking challenge?


    Man Fang¡¯s brow furrowed.


    ¡°What, are you afraid?¡± Xi Mo taunted with a smile, ¡°If you¡¯re not confident, you can also have people from other races join thepetition. No matter the oue, I will lead the Elf n Army away, and henceforth, the Elf n Army will never step into the Dwarf Mountains again.¡±<div>


    Man Fang took a deep breath and looked firmly at the other party, ¡°Fine! How do you propose wepete?¡±


    ¡°Today, we won¡¯t be using cauldron furnaces for the challenge,¡± Xi Mo said with a smile.


    The expressions of Man Fang and the other experts of the Dwarf n changed at this, not using cauldron furnaces for artifact refining? Even if Man Fang was the number one artifact refining expert of the Dwarf n, he couldn¡¯t refine without a cauldron furnace.


    ¡°We¡¯ll see who can create an Innate Spirit Instrument first without using a cauldron furnace. That person will win,¡± Xi Mo said with a smile.

 Chapter 345: 345

    Chapter 345: 345


    Xi Mo said this and turned to the Elf Experts behind him with a smile, ¡°Who would like to step forward topete in artifact refining with n Leader Man Fang?¡±


    At that moment, a tall and exceptionally handsome elf stepped forward, ¡°I am willing to give it a try.¡±


    Clearly, it had already been decided in advance.


    Seeing the elf that stepped forward, the Dwarf n experts couldn¡¯t help bing agitated.


    ¡°Prince Xi Luo!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian heard themotion among the Dwarf n experts around him and had a thought.


    Prince Xi Luo, the grandson of the Elf Queen, had astounding talent in both the Martial Dao and artifact refining. He was proimed as the disciple with the strongest Martial Dao talent in the Elf n for ten thousand years.


    His elven bloodline was even stronger than that of the current Elf Queen.


    Unexpectedly, it was Xi Luo who would represent the Elf n in this battle.


    It seemed Xi Luo¡¯s artifact refining talent was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested, daring to represent the Elf n implied he had mastered the method of refining artifacts without the need for a cauldron furnace.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but think of Tang Huan from Buddha Source Empire.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xi Luo leapt forward, came in front of the group of Dwarf experts, and gave a fist salute to Man Fang, ¡°I ask for guidance from n Leader Man Fang.¡±


    Seeing Xi Luo¡¯s challenging gaze, Man Fang¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but turn ugly.


    ¡°n Leader Man Fang wouldn¡¯t be too scared to ept the challenge, would he?¡± Seeing Man Fang hesitate, Xi Luo smiled contemptuously, ¡°n Leader Man Fang, you are known as the first Artifact Refiner of the Dwarf n, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even dare to ept a challenge?¡±


    ¡°Is this the level of artifact refinement of the Dwarf n?¡±


    The Elf expertsughed heartily.


    The Dwarf n experts were all annoyed.


    ¡°Xi Mo, since it¡¯s apetition, surely we cannot let you set the rules!¡± An Elf n Ancestor red at Xi Mo angrily.


    Xi Mo chuckled, ¡°If you¡¯re too scared, you can refuse.¡± With that, he waved his hand, and behind him, the true yuan of millions in the Elf n Army was infused, their spears with cold light flickering, pointed directly at the Dwarf n.


    Man Fang¡¯s expression darkened.


    Xi Luo smiled at Man Fang, ¡°If n Leader Man Fang is afraid to ept the challenge, he may send someone else topete with me.¡± He then swept his gaze over the members of the Dwarf Tribe, ¡°If anyone can defeat me, that Divine Tree Seed is theirs, and this Elf Sword, too, is theirs!¡±


    As he spoke, he waved the sword in his hand, bringing aboutyers uponyers of sword shadows.


    The Elf Sword was also a treasure of the Elf n, one of only ten. The one in Xi Luo¡¯s hand was one of them.


    Just as Xi Luo finished speaking, suddenly, a calm voice rang out, ¡°It¡¯s just refining without a cauldron furnace; let me give it a try.¡±


    Everyone was astonished.


    All eyes turned in the direction of the voice.


    A young human stepped out leisurely from the crowd.


    The youth wore a light blue robe that fluttered in the wind.


    Xi Luo, seeing a human, scoffed after his initial surprise, ¡°A human?¡±<div>


    In the Hundred n Empire, the level of artifact refinement amongst the human race was known to all. In the Empire¡¯s artifact refiningpetitions, human experts were almost always in thest ten ces.


    After their initial astonishment, everyoneughed.


    ¡°A human youth actually wants topete in artifact refining with Prince Xi Luo?¡±


    ¡°This kid must be mad for fame!¡±<div>


    Many Elf Expertsughed loudly.


    Even some Dwarf n experts frowned upon seeing Yang Xiaotian step forward.


    ¡°Kid, what qualifies you, a human, topete with our Prince of the Elf n?¡± An Elf n Ancestor bellowed at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Get lost!¡±


    However, Yang Xiaotian looked indifferently at Xi Luo, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, you don¡¯t have the courage? Or are you afraid? Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even have the spirit topete.¡±


    ¡°Is this the level of artifact refining of the Elf n?¡±


    The words Xi Luo had said to the Dwarf n Leader Man Fang earlier were now returned to Xi Luo and the Elf n by Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon hearing this, the Elf Experts all turned furious.


    Xi Mo¡¯s eyes burst with cold light.


    Xi Luo was even quicker, shing in front of Yang Xiaotian, his eyes filled with murderous intent, ¡°Fine, kid, I ept your challenge, but what if you lose?¡±


    ¡°If I lose, my life is yours,¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently.


    Xi Luo¡¯s face revealed a cruel smile, ¡°Good!¡± After speaking, he looked towards Man Fang, ¡°What do you think, n Leader Man Fang?¡±


    After all, this matter involved a legacy treasure of the Dwarf n, which required Man Fang¡¯s approval.


    Man Fang looked at Yang Xiaotian and couldn¡¯t help but hesitate.<div>


    No one believed that a young human could refine an Innate Spirit Instrument without a cauldron furnace.


    Including him.


    Even as the top Artifact Refiner of the Dwarf n, he could not do it, so how could a young human possibly achieve it?


    Just then, Yang Xiaotian spoke, ¡°n Leader Man Fang, rest assured, if I lose, this cauldron is the Dwarf n¡¯s, but if I win, I want the Innate Divine Iron.¡± Saying that, he pulled out a huge cauldron furnace and embedded it into the ground.


    The ground shook ceaselessly.


    ¡°Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron!¡±


    ¡°One of the four Divine Cauldrons, the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron!¡±


    Seeing the cauldron in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, an Elder of the Dwarf n called out excitedly.


    ¡°What, one of the four Divine Cauldrons, the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron!¡± The Dwarf n experts eximed.


    The Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, as one of the four Divine Cauldrons of the Azure God Continent, was an ultimate treasure to a n like the Dwarf n that specialized in artifact refining.


    Even Xi Luo and the Elf n Experts eyed the cauldron with intense greed.


    To the Elf n, the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron was as valuable as their Divine Tree.


    Xi Luo even began to harbor thoughts of killing for the treasure.<div>


    All experts from the Dwarf n and the Elf n stared intently at the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron.


    ¡°Alright, I agree!¡± Man Fang, looking at the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron, took a deep breath and spoke.


    All eyes turned to Xi Luo and Yang Xiaotian.


    At that moment, everyone began to wonder about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity.


    ¡°Shall we begin?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked nonchntly.


    Xi Luo concentrated his spirit in his whole body and nodded at Xi Mo.


    ¡°Begin!¡± Xi Mo suddenly shouted.


    As Xi Mo finished speaking, Xi Luo instantly stimted his powerful soul power.


    Hum!


    Under Xi Luo¡¯s powerful control of soul power, the Heaven and Earth Fire from the surrounding environment began to whirl towards him frantically. These fires gathered at an incredibly fast speed, converging towards Xi Luo like a formidable storm.


    Seeing such powerful soul power from Xi Luo, Man Fang and the Dwarf n experts¡¯ faces changed.


    Xi Luo¡¯s Emperor Realm soul power allowed him to control the Heaven and Earth Fire to a distance of almost a kilometer.


    This was far beyond their imagination.<div>

 Chapter 346: 346 That’s All

    Chapter 346: Chapter 346 That¡¯s All


    Seeing such a formidable Soul Power from Xi Luo, all the mighty members of the Elf n were immensely exhrated.


    ¡°With such a formidable Soul Power, His Highness Xi Luo is absolutely the top of the younger generation in the Hundred n Empire!¡± an Elf n Ancestor eximed in admiration.


    ¡°With a peerless genius like His Highness Xi Luo, why should our Elf n worry about not flourishing or bing powerful!¡±


    Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Heaven and Earth Fire around Xi Luo transformed into a stunning sea of fire.


    Xi Luo stood there, waving his hands, and under his control, the Heaven and Earth Fire turned into a series of Fire Dragons.


    ¡°One of the top ten artifact refining techniques, Heavenly Fire Transmutation!¡± Man Fang was once again shocked to see Xi Luo¡¯s technique.


    The crowd stirred at his words.


    It was one thing that Xi Luo possessed such a mighty Soul Power, but to know the top ten artifact refining techniques too!


    Was there even a need to continue thispetition?


    Many experts of the Dwarf n involuntarily looked towards Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    But they saw Yang Xiaotian standing still, not having moved at all.


    One of the Elf Ancestorsughed and said, ¡°This young man of the Human Race, could it be that he was so scared by the terrifying Soul Power of our prince that he doesn¡¯t dare to make a move?¡±


    The crowd all chuckled.


    Even Man Fang frowned.


    Just at that moment, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian stretched out one hand and said, ¡°Fire,e!¡±


    All who saw Yang Xiaotian attempting to refine with just one hand were taken aback.


    Suddenly, the entire Heaven and Earth fell eerily silent.


    In that moment of silence, boom! The entire space of Heaven and Earth shook violently.


    Everyone saw that the terrifying Heaven and Earth Fire, like a hundred-level tsunami, surged over overwhelmingly, an endless deluge with no visible end.


    Even the Heaven and Earth Fire beside Xi Luo howled as it rushed towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Completely beyond the control of Xi Luo¡¯s Soul Power.


    Xi Luo¡¯s face drastically changed as he frantically spurred his Soul Power, but to no avail! All the Heaven and Earth Fire, like a flood breaking through a dam, surged towards Yang Xiaotian.


    All were frightened.


    ¡°This¡­ this!¡± The Elf Ancestor, looking at the overwhelming Heaven and Earth Fire covering more than ten miles, changed color as if he had seen a ghost.


    Xi Mo, Man Fang, and others wore faces of disbelief.


    All were shocked.


    The nearly one-kilometer range of Heaven and Earth Fire that Xi Luo controlled was a jokepared to the Heaven and Earth Fire now controlled by Yang Xiaotian.


    Soon, the boundless Heaven and Earth Fire reached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, and these fires continuously morphed, forming a huge Formation Map.


    The Formation Map flowed, its light surging nonstop.<div>


    ¡°Fire converging into formations, one of the top ten artifact refining techniques!¡± an elder trembled.


    The crowd was in an uproar.


    They saw the huge Formation Map enveloping the several dozen types of Essence Iron Ore used for refining an Innate Spirit Instrument, all spinning.


    The several dozen types of Essence Iron Ore floated up and then rapidly melted into dozens of pools of iron essence.<div>


    The instant all the iron essence merged, the Formation Map changed, condensing into a huge Cauldron Furnace that sucked in all the iron essence.


    The Cauldron Furnace¡¯s light vibrated.


    With each vibration, a burst of radiance emerged.


    As it continued to vibrate, the light grew stronger and more abundant.


    Everyone was deeply captivated by this magical scene, even the members of the Elf n held their breath, forgetting that the one smithing was a young human.


    After dozens of tremors, suddenly, the cauldron¡¯s light trembled violently, and a radiant brilliance shot up into the sky, as a green longsword slowly rose from within the furnace.


    Watching the green longsword rise slowly, Xi Luo¡¯s originally exceedingly handsome face turned as pale as death, and even the silver armor which had been gleaming on his body seemed to lose its luster.


    ¡°A top-tier Innate Spirit Instrument!¡±


    A top-tier Innate Spirit Instrument!


    As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the tens of millions of the Elf n Army turned pale.


    Their Prince Xi Luo had actually lost to a human youngster!


    A human youngster who, in their eyes, wasn¡¯t even qualified topete with their prince.


    Xi Mo and the other Elf n ancestors also looked displeased.<div>


    Everyone understood what it would mean if Xi Luo lost.


    It meant they would lose the Life God Tree seed.


    But that wasn¡¯t even the most important part.


    What was critical was that, once word got out, the Elf n would be theughingstock of the Hundred n Empire.


    The great prince of the proud Elf n had actually lost to a human! It was like a vicious p to the face of their entire Elf n!


    The masters of the Dwarf n were equally shocked as they looked at the top-tier Innate Spirit Instrument sword.


    The young man before them had actually refined a top-tier Innate Spirit Instrument with just one hand, without using a Cauldron Furnace!


    Even their Divine Craftsman-level Ancient Ancestor couldn¡¯t do that.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost,¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, looking at Xi Luo.


    You¡¯ve lost, like a hammer striking Xi Luo¡¯s heart.


    Xi Luo¡¯s face, already pale, turned even whiter.


    ¡°As for the Elf n¡¯s smithing skills, that¡¯s all there is to it,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    That¡¯s all there is to it!<div>


    Xi Mo¡¯s face changed color.


    The tens of millions of the Elf n Army couldn¡¯t help but be angered.


    Xi Luo clenched his fists tightly, staring at Yang Xiaotian with murderous intent in his eyes, but eventually, he unclenched his fists and flung the Elf Sword he held in front of Yang Xiaotian, saying coldly, ¡°Take good care of my sword, or you¡¯ll have nowhere to be buried when you die.¡±


    However, Yang Xiaotian simply flicked the Elf Sword with his finger, bouncing it over to Man Fang, and said, ¡°No need, I have plenty of such trashy swords.¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian call the Elf Sword trash, Xi Luo¡¯s True Yuan surged wildly as he struggled to suppress his killing intent.


    Xi Mo¡¯s expression fluctuated between light and dark, but eventually, he flicked the Life God Tree seed over to Man Fang.


    Man Fang, holding the Life God Tree seed in hand, burst into heartyughter.


    Listening to Man Fang¡¯s gratingughter, Xi Mo¡¯s face became as ugly as it could be.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, suddenly, someone from among the elves shouted, ¡°Stop right there!¡±


    The crowd looked, only to see Hai Ba, the City Lord of Qinghe City, stepping out from the ranks of the Elf n Army.


    This time, Hai Ba and his men also followed the Elf n Army here.


    After stepping out, Hai Ba respectfully saluted Xi Mo and Xi Luo, and said, ¡°My lords, your highness, I am the City Lord of Qinghe City. Some days ago, this human youngster stormed into my City Lord¡¯s Mansion and killed my son and dozens of our elves!¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± The Elf n masters were all shocked.<div>


    The masters of the Dwarf n looked at Yang Xiaotian in surprise.


    The incident that urred at Qinghe City Lord¡¯s Mansion some days ago had also reached the ears of quite a few Dwarf n masters. It was done by this human youngster before them?!

 Chapter 347: 347: Kill, Kill Him!

    Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Kill, Kill Him!


    ¡°Killing our Elf Expert is a crime that warrants the extermination of your entire n!¡± Before Xi Mo could speak, an enraged Elf n Ancestor was ready to strike down Yang Xiaotian.


    Xi Mo stopped the Elf Ancestor in his tracks, staring coldly at Yang Xiaotian as if he were looking at an ant, ¡°Is the incident at Qinghe City your doing?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied nonchntly, ¡°Indeed, the son¡¯s head was crushed under my foot! Those people from the Elf n were blown to bits by me.¡±


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian crushed the head of Qinghe City¡¯s Young City Lord, the tens of millions in the Elf n Army were outraged.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill him!¡±


    The tens of millions in the Elf n Army roared in unison, their shouts like a vast sea, their murderous intent sky-high.


    A member of the Human Race dared to kill so many of their Elf experts, igniting the fury and killing intent in the hearts of all Elf Experts present in an instant.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s admission, and his nonchnt demeanor, Xi Mo was likewise furious.


    ¡°My lord, I wish to execute him with my own hands, please grant me and your highness¡¯s permission and indulgence!¡± Hai Ba stepped forward and said to Xi Mo and Xi Luo.<div>


    Xi Mo said gravely, ¡°I can let you kill him with your own hands, but first, I want him to suffer the agony of having his flesh scraped off and his bones chopped down!¡±


    Meaning, don¡¯t let Yang Xiaotian die too quickly; first scrape off his flesh, then chop his bones, and only then kill him!


    ¡°Rest assured, my lord!¡± Hai Ba said with hatred, ¡°I will make him suffer the pain of bone-chopping and flesh-scraping before he dies!¡± Saying this, he turned and walked toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Hai Ba¡¯s True Yuan surged wildly, his aura soared incredibly, revealing he was an expert of the Martial Emperor¡¯s first level.


    Arge saber appeared in his hand, and through gritted teeth, he said, ¡°Boy, I¡¯m going to peel off your flesh piece by piece!¡± Having spoken, he shed forward, his saber shing towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Under the infusion of Hai Ba¡¯s True Yuan, his saber shot outyers of saber light.


    The saber light tore through the heavy air and in the blink of an eye reached Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face.


    Watching the shing saber light, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged; he merely flicked his hand, and like thousands of divine thunders exploding, all the saber light turned to ash.


    Immediately afterward, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed and was already in front of Hai Ba.


    Hai Ba, looking at Yang Xiaotian in front of him, was greatly rmed. While therge saber in his hand had yet to strike, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s w was already on his head, and then, with a press!


    A sizzling sound.


    Hai Ba¡¯s entire head was crushed into his chest by Yang Xiaotian!


    His headless body stood there, still holding therge saber, frozen in the motion of striking.


    ¡°What!¡± All the Elf Experts were stunned.


    Even Man Fang, Xi Luo, and Xi Mo were taken aback.


    The Martial Emperor-level Hai Ba was, in fact, killed by this youth with just one w press!


    And utterly without the power to resist.


    Yang Xiaotian pushed away Hai Ba¡¯s headless corpse and gave Xi Luo a cold look, ¡°I¡¯ve heard you¡¯re the disciple with the strongest Martial Dao Talent the Elf n has seen in ten thousand years. Do you dare to battle me?¡±


    At Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, Xi Luo¡¯s expression changed.<div>


    If it had been before Hai Ba¡¯s death, Xi Luo might have already thrown a punch, but now, looking at Hai Ba¡¯s headless body, Xi Luo actually felt intimidated.


    Even though he was touted as the disciple with the strongest Martial Dao Talent the Elf n has seen in ten thousand years, his current strength was only at the seventh level of the Martial Emperor.


    ¡°What, don¡¯t you dare?¡± Yang Xiaotian scoffed, ¡°Doesn¡¯t your Elf n always consider themselves superior to others?¡±


    ¡°Now, the Elf n¡¯s so-called once-in-ten-thousand-years talent won¡¯t dare to fight with a youth of the Human Race?¡±<div>


    ¡°Not even the courage for one battle!¡±


    Each word from Yang Xiaotian struck the hearts of the tens of millions in the Elf n Army like a hammer.


    Xi Luo was all the more furious and outraged.


    ¡°With what status is Prince Xi Luo of the Elf n, he simply disdains to interact with a lowly Human like you!¡± At that moment, an Elf Expert burst out from the ranks of the Elf n Army, leaped skyward, and thrust a spear violently toward Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°If you seek death, I will grant it!¡±


    His spear pierced through the air, releasing hundreds of cold points within a single breath, like meteors chasing the moon, thrusting towards Yang Xiaotian.


    This elf expert was the son of a certain general of the Elf n.


    He was also one of Xi Luo¡¯s subordinates.


    His strength was not weak; he was a sixth-tier Emperor Realm.


    Watching the iing chilly spear, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm, standing still as the enemy¡¯s spear almost reached him before he finally punched out.


    With one punch, heaven and earth shattered!


    Wherever the punch passed, space itself appeared to have been sted open with a ck punch-hole.


    Boom!<div>


    The punchnded on the opponent¡¯s spear, sending the general¡¯s son of the Elf n flying back.


    Everyone¡¯s hearts shook violently.


    A single punch sent flying a sixth-tier Martial Emperor!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Just then, suddenly, from within the Elf n, another four figures flew out, attacking Yang Xiaotian at the same time.


    All four were eighth-tier Martial Emperor experts!


    Watching the four assants approaching, Yang Xiaotian stood still, his figure shed, splitting into four images, each one delivering a punch at the same time.


    Boom!


    Still with a punch!


    The four Elf n experts had just flown out but were sted into the midst of the Elf n¡¯s vast army.


    ¡°What?!¡± All those who witnessed the scene were greatly shocked.


    At this moment, it became clear to everyone that this Human Race youth was at the peak of the second-tier Martial Emperor, but with the realm of the second-tier peak, he had sted away four eighth-tier Elf Martial experts with a single punch!


    Suchbat power was incredibly terrifying!


    ¡°This is too terrifying, is there such terrifyingbat power in the world? When did the Human Race produce such a terrifying figure!¡± Even the Dwarf n Ancestor was deeply shaken.<div>


    For a second-tier Martial Emperor to defeat an eighth-tier Martial Emperor was already inconceivable, let alone sting away four eighth-tiers with one punch.


    Even the Elf n Ancestor was utterly astonished.


    While Xi Luo was shocked, he also felt fortunate that he hadn¡¯t gone out.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Immediately following that, a group of Elf experts shouted loudly, with over a dozen Elf experts flying out at the same time.


    All of the dozen-plus Elf experts were tenth-tier Martial Emperors!


    They all attacked Yang Xiaotian at once.


    Everyone held their breath.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian; everyone wanted to know if he could withstand the assault from over a dozen Elf experts this time.


    ¡°n Leader, should we take action?¡± A Dwarf n Ancestor couldn¡¯t help but ask Man Fang.


    With over a dozen tenth-tier Martial Emperors joining forces, the young man certainly couldn¡¯t resist.


    If they did not save him, he was sure to die.


    An unparalleled genius in both artifact refining and Martial Dao, it would be a pity if he died at the hands of the Elf n.


    Just at that moment, suddenly, a frightening golden light burst forth from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.<div>


    A super brilliant Golden Core emerged from inside him.


    When the Golden Core flew out, heaven and earth lost all their brilliance

 Chapter 348: 348: If You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight!

    Chapter 348: Chapter 348: If You Want to Fight, Then Let¡¯s Fight!


    When the Golden Core flew out, the mountains shook! Even space itself was wavering.


    rming power swept through heaven and earth.


    A terrifying divine might enveloped everything.


    One after another, beams of Divine Light pierced the sky.


    The once clear sky suddenly thundered with divine lightning, as if it were the end of the world.


    Man Fang, Xi Mo, and a host of experts from the Elf and Dwarf ns were all looking at the Golden Core that shook heaven and earth with shock.


    ¡°This is?! A Divine Elixir! It¡¯s a Divine Elixir! A Divine Elixir has appeared!¡± Man Fang rambled excitedly, dancing with his arms and legs, nearly tumbling down from the airship.


    ¡°What! A Divine Elixir!¡± Every expert from the Dwarf and Elf ns was profoundly shaken, all looking aghast.


    This youth had actually condensed a Divine Elixir!


    Xi Luo was even more astounded.<div>


    He was acimed as the Elf n¡¯s most talented Martial Dao prodigy in ten thousand years, yet he had only condensed a top-tier Golden Core ranked in the teens.


    Even so, when he had condensed his top-tier Golden Core, it had shocked the Hundred ns.


    But now, this Human Race youth had actually condensed the legendary Divine Elixir that was said to be impossible to reappear in the world!


    ¡°A Divine Elixir, oh!¡± One Dwarf n expert after another was rocked, some even knelt in excitement.


    Some Dwarf n experts even prostrated themselves before the Divine Elixir.


    Although the Divine Elixir hadn¡¯t appeared for a million years, its legend had been extolled and deified by people all along.


    To many, a Divine Elixir symbolized supreme transcendence.


    The dozen Elf Experts who had attacked Xiaotian were looking at the Divine Elixir within arm¡¯s reach in utter disbelief,pletely astounded.


    ¡°Kill, kill him for me!¡± Suddenly, Xi Mo¡¯s face twisted with ferocity as he roared like mad.


    The dozen Elves who were attacking Xiaotian paused in surprise.


    ¡°What are you hesitating for, kill him for me!¡± Xi Mo bellowed.


    Just then, suddenly, Man Fang pointed his colossal axe directly at Xi Mo, shouting agitatedly, ¡°Xi Mo, if you dare touch him, I¡¯ll have your mother¡¯s death!¡±


    Man Fang, in his agitation, rambled incoherently, not knowing whether he wanted Xi Mo dead or Xi Mo¡¯s mother dead!


    ¡°All members of the Dwarf n, hear mymand!¡±


    ¡°Whoever dares to touch this young master, kill them!¡±


    ¡°Kill their grandmother!¡±


    Man Fang, waving his giant axe and yelling, gave themand.


    Following Man Fang¡¯s order, all the Dwarf n experts rushed in front of Xiaotian, wrapping him up tightly, sheltering him like a sacred deity.


    Seeing this, Xi Mo¡¯s eyes zed with rage as he pointed his sword at Man Fang, ¡°Man Fang, do you really want to start a war with my Elf n over a Human Race youth?!¡±<div>


    Man Fang soared into the sky, shouldering the immensely huge axe, and retorted furiously, ¡°Xi Mo, you should understand what a Divine Elixir represents. Now, lead your Elf n Army to withdraw quickly, and don¡¯t make a grave mistake!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xi Mo¡¯s expression turned vicious, and heughed loudly, ¡°Those are just legends that have been deified. You imbecile, you actually believe them! If you dare to obstruct me again, today I will annihte your Dwarf n, and then kill this Human Race youth!¡±


    Man Fangughed wildly, hisugh carrying an unrestrained arrogance, as he swung the colossal axe on his shoulder, ¡°Annihte my n? What of it? Today, if you want a battle, then we shall battle!¡±


    ¡°If the Elf n wants a battle, the Dwarf n shall give them a battle!¡±<div>


    Man Fang¡¯s words resounded throughout the Dwarf n.


    Millions of Dwarf n experts shouted in unison while swinging their axes, ¡°If there¡¯s to be a battle, let it be so! If there¡¯s to be a battle, let it be so!¡± Their voices echoed up to the Nine Heavens.


    Xi Mo¡¯s eyes were frosty as he slowly drew his sword.


    The sword¡¯s brilliance burst forth, cutting across heaven and earth.


    ¡°So be it, today, I shall wipe out the Dwarf n!¡±


    ¡°From this day on, there shall be no more Dwarf n in the world!¡±


    Xi Mo said coldly.


    As Xi Mo drew his sword, the spears of the Elf n Army, millions strong, pointed uniformly towards the Dwarf n¡¯s vige; with only amand from Xi Mo, it would be a destructive strike.


    All dwarves of the Dwarf n also swung their axes in unison.


    The Dwarf n was not only a n skilled in Artifact Refining; in their bones flowed blood that craved battle, the blood of frenziedbat.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Seeing that Man Fang refused to back down, Xi Mo was furious and suddenly swung his sword at Man Fang.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Countlessmanders of the Elf n roared.<div>


    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡± In an instant, the Elf n Army charged towards the Dwarf n¡¯s vige like a tidal wave.


    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡± All the dwarf experts wielded their battle axes and charged towards the millions-strong Elf n Army.


    In a sh, the two ns collided, blood and flesh flying everywhere.


    However, the dwarf experts protecting Yang Xiaotian stood unwaveringly by his side, not moving an inch.


    Seeing this, Xiaotian was puzzled; he hadn¡¯t expected that after revealing a Divine Elixir, the Dwarf n would risk annihtion to protect him.


    Why was this?


    But there were simply too many in the Elf n Army, wave after wave of them continued to attack, and soon, the dwarf experts guarding Xiaotian were scattered.


    At that moment, an Elf Expert of Martial Emperor Ten Heavy Levels thrust his sword towards Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    In Xiaotian¡¯s hand, the Controlling Dragon Sword appeared, fueled by True Yuan, an Earth Shaking Dragon Roar resonated through Heaven and Earth, and the Golden Dragon Soul flew out. With a swipe of its w, it sent the Elf Expert of Martial Emperor Ten Heavy Levels flying.


    The Elf Expert crashed to the ground, his armor shattered, his body a mangled mess, dead beyond any doubt.


    Everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Heavenly Sword, Controlling Dragon Sword!¡± Xi Luo eximed, recognizing the sword in Xiaotian¡¯s hand at a nce.


    This young man of the Human Race actually possessed the Heavenly Sword, Controlling Dragon Sword, and what¡¯s more, he could invoke the Golden Dragon Soul within the sword!<div>


    Many Sword Dao masters knew that although the Controlling Dragon Sword ranked seventy-one among the Heavenly Swords, once someone could invoke the Golden Dragon Soul within it, the power of the Controlling Dragon Sword could rival that of the top ten Heavenly Swords!


    Just as the Golden Dragon Soul sent the Elf Expert flying, suddenly, several Elf Experts appeared behind Xiaotian, thrusting at him.


    Xiaotian¡¯s Controlling Dragon Sword instantly struck out behind him, the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart surging forth.


    Suddenly, one after another, the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart burst forth like a volcano erupting furiously after being dormant for thousands of years.


    In the span of a breath, eight of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart powers were unleashed.


    Xi Mo and others, feeling the power of Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Heart, turned in shock.


    ¡°Eight Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡±


    And at that moment, another Nine-Colored Sword Qi burst forth.


    ¡°Nine Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± The expressions of Xi Mo and the Elf Experts changed.


    Nine Sword Hearts, this was the very image of a Sword God.


    Just when everyone thought it was over, the tenth Nine-Colored Sword Qi shot out furiously.


    The crowd stood agape.


    ¡°Ten!¡± Xi Mo was horrified.<div>


    Even Man Fang and the elder ancestors of the Dwarf n were utterly shocked.


    Ten Sword Hearts!


    It was the Ten Invincible Sword Hearts!


    The crowd was thunderstruck.


    In an instant, Xiaotian¡¯s Controlling Dragon Sword sliced through the long swords of those several Elf Experts, then, as if cutting through paper, it sliced through their armors.

 Chapter 349: 349 Dwarf Clan’s Following

    Chapter 349: Chapter 349 Dwarf n¡¯s Following


    A few Elf Experts only felt a chill at their waist, as the area below their waists had already been severed.


    The Elf n experts who were initially attacking Yang Xiaotian all quivered in shock, trembling uncontrobly.


    First was the terrifying Soul Power that controlled a radius of ten miles.


    Then came the Divine Elixir!


    Now it was the ten Invincible Sword Hearts!


    Many Elf Experts were so scared that they dared not make a move for the moment.


    Seeing this, Xi Mo¡¯s eyes were even more filled with killing intent.


    With a sway of his body, he bypassed Man Fang, and his Elf Sword instantly stabbed towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    Xi Mo was too fast, and it was already toote for Man Fang to intervene.


    Just as Xi Mo¡¯s Elf Sword was about to pierce through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart, Man Fang¡¯s face changed dramatically.<div>


    If this sword struck true, Yang Xiaotian would certainly die!


    Just then, suddenly, a beast roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded, and everyone turned in surprise to see a giant beast leg burning with ice blue mes suddenly stretching out from the void, stomping down on Xi Mo.


    Before the giant beast leg even crushed down, the terrifying ice blue mes poured down on Xi Mo like a torrential rainstorm.


    Feeling the fearsome power of the ice blue mes, Xi Mo panicked and fled blindly, not caring about Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Xi Mo had retreated, countless ice blue mes smashed down.


    The booming sound was incessant.


    Who knows how far across thend the dust was sted into the air.


    Everyone looked and saw where Xi Mo had originally been standing, a terrifying deep pit had appeared.


    And many Elf Experts who were too slow to evade were hit by the ice blue mes, instantly burned into ice blue ashes.


    Xi Mo, in terror, turned to see that a Divine Beast like the Ancient Divine Mountain had appeared beside Yang Xiaotian at some point.


    ¡°Beast God!¡±


    ¡°Iceme Kylin!¡±


    Xi Mo and those Elder Ancestors from the Elf n were all greatly shocked.


    This Human Race youth had actually tamed an Iceme Kylin of the Divine Spirit Realm!


    Moreover, its strength was even above Xi Mo¡¯s!


    Looking at the Iceme Kylin before him, Xi Mo was shocked, involuntarily thinking of retreat, especially since the Elf n had only brought three Divine Spirits this time.


    Not to mention that the Dwarf n was encircling on the side.


    Just as Xi Mo was contemting retreat, suddenly, from above the Nine Heavens, countless Divine Thunders fell like a flood, bombarding the vast Elf n Army.


    Boom!<div>


    The Elf n Army was instantly submerged by the thousands of Divine Thunders, with cries of agony filling the air.


    Xi Mo and others looked in astonishment as an enormous Azure Thunder Python appeared above the Elf n Army, and its thousand-zhang-long tail swept out, where it passed, thunder surged violently, and the Elf n Army was either sent flying or directly exploded into mist of blood.


    ¡°Azure Thunder Python!¡± Xi Mo and the others felt a chill in their hearts.


    Another Super Divine Beast!<div>


    Just what was the identity of this Human Race youth, to have not one but two Divine Spirit Realm Super Divine Beasts!


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Xi Mo shouted in rm.


    Seeing the Iceme Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python, he knew it was hopeless to kill the Human Race youth before him.


    Following Xi Mo¡¯s order to retreat, all Commanders of the Elf n simultaneously gave themand, ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Under themands to retreat, the Elf n Army fell back like a receding tide.


    Watching the retreating Elf n Army, the Iceme Qilin¡¯s eyes turned cold as it said ominously, ¡°Ice Seal the Nine Realms!¡±


    Its ws struck out fiercely.


    Instantly, icy blue mes transformed into a sea of blue ice, surging towards the Elf n Army like a tsunami.


    ¡°Thunder Explosion!¡± Immediately following, countless divine thunders roared down from the Nine Heavens.


    When the divine thunders reached the airspace above the Elf n Army, they exploded in unison.


    ¡°Forbidden Curse Technique!¡± Xi Mo eximed, as he frantically shed with his Elf Sword, and the other two Divine Spirit Ancestors of the Elf n also made their full efforts to block the Forbidden Curse Techniques of the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    However, the Forbidden Curse Techniques of the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were too much, even for the seventeen Divine Spirits of the Sky-Stepping Sect to withstand back in the day, let alone the three of Xi Mo.


    Suddenly, all three were blown away.<div>


    Icy mes filled the sky.


    Thunderous light roared, blowing away group after group of the Elf n Army.


    Xi Mo and the others opened their mouths and a mouthful of blood spurted out.


    The trio, shocked and furious, did not dare to linger in battle any longer and led the Elf n Army in a disheveled retreat.


    The Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python pursued without relent, and the Dwarf n didn¡¯t miss the chance to chase and kill with all their might.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, worried about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s safety, stayed by his side.


    In the end, the Elf n Army left countless bodies behind and disappeared into the ends of the heavens.


    Seeing the Elf n Army flee in disarray, the experts from the Dwarf n all cheered and waved their arms in celebration.


    The Dwarf n Leader, Man Fang, came excitedly to Yang Xiaotian, bowed deeply, and said, ¡°Man Fang pays his respects to the young master!¡±


    The Elders and many other experts of the Dwarf n also excitedly bowed deeply: ¡°We pay our respects to the young master!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, seeing Man Fang and the others of the Dwarf n react this way, felt puzzled. Even though he had condensed a Divine Grade Golden Core and possessed ten Invincible Sword Hearts, there was no need for the Dwarf n to be so excited and respectful, was there?


    Seeing the confusion in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart, Man Fang exined, ¡°Young master, our n¡¯s ancestor left behind an ancient book. If you read this book, you will understand what¡¯s happening.¡±


    He then led Yang Xiaotian to the ancestral hall of the Dwarf n and retrieved an ancient book from its depths.<div>


    The ancient book had roughly twenty to thirty pages. Yang Xiaotian flipped through it with curiosity and, once he had finished reading, finally understood why Man Fang and the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestors were so excited upon seeing his Divine Grade Golden Core.


    As it turned out, the book recorded that one of the Dwarf n¡¯s most powerful ancestors had once followed by the side of the Lord of the Azure God, serving as the Lord¡¯s dedicated Artifact Refiner.


    The Lord of the Azure God had once dered that if a Divine Grade Golden Core should emerge in the Azure God Continent in the future, that person would be the new ruler of the Azure God Continent.


    This ancestor of the Dwarf n had always remembered the words left by the Lord of the Azure God, inscribed them into the ancient book, and also left an ancestral instruction that should the Dwarf n encounter the emergence of a Divine Grade Golden Core, they were to follow that person.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± remarked Yang Xiaotian.


    He had not realized that one of the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestors was once a follower of the Lord of the Azure God.


    Suddenly, Man Fang knelt before Yang Xiaotian, his voice trembling with emotion as he said, ¡°The Dwarf n wishes to follow the young master, to campaign across thends from now on!¡±


    ¡°The Dwarf n wishes to follow the young master, to campaign across thends from now on!¡± All the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestors knelt before Yang Xiaotian as well, equally moved.


    ¡°Very well, from now on, the Dwarf n will campaign across thends with me!¡± dered Yang Xiaotian as he gazed at the sculpture of the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestor, taking a deep breath and speaking with boundless enthusiasm.


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words fell, the statue of the most powerful Dwarf n ancestor suddenly began to surge with light.


    Seeing this, Man Fang and all of the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestors became even more excited: ¡°The ancestor has shown a sign, the ancestor has shown a sign!¡± ¡°Ancestor, rest assured, we will definitely follow the young master! We will not fail to meet your expectations, nor those of the Dwarf n!¡±


    The light around the Dwarf n ancestor¡¯s statue surged without end.


    While Man Fang and the many elders of the Dwarf n were respectfully kneeling before Yang Xiaotian, news of the Elf n¡¯s disastrous defeat spread like a hurricane, quickly reaching the surrounding cities.<div>


    Then, it spread through various states, territories, nations, and tribes.


    Every state, territory, nation, and tribe was shaken.

 Chapter 350: 350 Disbelief in the Dwarf Clan’s Ancestral Teachings

    Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Disbelief in the Dwarf n¡¯s Ancestral Teachings


    ¡°What, a Divine Elixir? A Divine Elixir formed by a human youth?!¡± The General of the Sky Demon n, Tian Hongji, was shocked upon hearing the news.


    ¡°Yes, millions of disciples from the Dwarf n and the Elf n witnessed it with their own eyes, that human youth indeed condensed a Divine Elixir!¡± said the Divine Light in Tian Xu¡¯s eyes turned grave.


    ¡°After a million years, I never expected the Divine Elixir to reappear in the world!¡±


    Thinking of the legends rted to the Divine Elixir, he was full of disbelief and astonishment.


    The various legends about the Divine Elixir had always been circting within the Hundred n Empire.


    ¡°What do you think about the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestral instructions, are they credible?¡± Tian Xu asked, referring to that ancestor¡¯s message and teachings of the Dwarf n.


    Tian Hongji had heard about the Dwarf n ancestor¡¯s message and teachings, he shook his head, and said, ¡°That is just one person¡¯s point of view. If a Divine Elixir means someone is to be the new ruler of the Azure God Continent, what if another Divine Elixir appearster on?¡±


    ¡°Could there be two new rulers for the Azure God Continent?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m now refining the Myriad Demons Golden Pill of our Sky Demon n. Does it mean that someone who can refine the Myriad Demons Golden Pill in the future would be the new n Leader of my Sky Demon n?¡±


    As for the message left by the Dwarf n¡¯s ancestor, Tian Hongji did not believe in it.<div>


    ¡°However, the power of the Divine Elixir is undoubtedly astonishing,¡± Tian Hongji eximed, ¡°If I get a chance in the future, I would like to see the power of that human youth¡¯s Divine Elixir.¡±


    Meanwhile, after learning about the crushing defeat of the Elf n Army, the Elf n Leader, Xi Yuandong, was furious because nearly a million had died in this invasion of the Dwarf n¡¯s tribe.


    You must know that the army sent to the Dwarf n¡¯s tribe consisted of the elite forces painstakingly selected by the Elf n.


    ¡°ording to the messages sent back from the front, nearly a million people!¡± The anger in the Elf n Ancestor Xi Kun was aze, ¡°And the Blue Elf Legion lost over a hundred thousand members!¡±


    The Blue Elf Legion was one of the most elite forces in the Elf Army, numbering only five hundred thousand in total.


    Hearing that over a hundred thousand members of the Blue Elf Legion had perished, Xi Yuandong¡¯s eyes were terrifyingly murderous.


    The elders of the Elf n in the grand hall were also enraged.


    ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m going to lead the army right now and tten the Dwarf n¡¯s tribe!¡± The Elf n Ancestor Xi Ye roared furiously, ¡°I want to behead Man Fang and that youth!¡±


    The Elf n Ancestors chimed in one after another.


    However, an elderly Elf with white hair suddenly spoke up, ¡°Since that human youth has condensed a Divine Elixir, we need to be cautious about this matter!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xi Kun sneered, ¡°Do you really believe that ridiculous ancestral teaching of the Dwarf n?¡±


    He, too, didn¡¯t believe in the ancestral teachings of the Dwarf n.


    Xi Yuandong, as well as the many mighty warriors of the Elf n present, didn¡¯t believe it either.


    ¡°Issue the order, if anyone encounters this human youth, show no mercy!¡± Xi Yuandong¡¯s icy voice echoed throughout the grand hall, ¡°For killing a million of the Elf n, he cannot be redeemed, even by death a thousand times over!¡±


    Seeing the situation, the white-haired Elf Ancestor stopped persuading. Truth be told, he didn¡¯t quite believe in the ancestral teachings of the Dwarf n either.


    The teachings of the Dwarf n¡¯s long-dead ancestor had be too distant after a million years, ephemeral and hard to believe.


    While various factions of the Hundred n Empire were shaken by the news, Yang Xiaotian was stunned as he looked at the Dwarf n Leader Man Fang, ¡°What, you don¡¯t have the Innate Divine Iron with you?¡±


    Looking somewhat embarrassed under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze, Man Fang said, ¡°The Innate Divine Iron is ced inside a huge iron chest in the deepest part of our ancestral shrine. However, we simply cannot open that huge chest.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled.<div>


    ¡°Because the lock on the chest is made from ckglow Ice Lock,¡± exined Man Fang.


    ¡°ckglow Ice Lock?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart rxed when he heard this, thinking that if it was only a matter of a ckglow Ice Lock, then it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    With a wry smile, Man Fang said, ¡°Not even the mightiest Abnormal Fire can open the ckglow Ice Lock, and no one dares to touch the chest.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that no one could open the ckglow Ice Lock, the Dwarf n would have already used the piece of Innate Divine Iron, not leaving it to this day.<div>


    ¡°Let me take a look,¡± said Yang Xiaotian.


    Man Fang dared not refuse and quickly led Yang Xiaotian into the deepest part of the ancestral shrine, where the huge iron chest was located.


    Only when Yang Xiaotian saw the iron chest did he understand what Man Fang meant by ¡®huge¡¯.


    The chest was even taller than him and several meters wide.


    However, it was locked with a fist-sized ckglow Ice Lock, and due to the chilling ckglow Ice Energy, the entire chest was covered withyer uponyer of ckglow Ice.


    Even approaching it sent a piercing chill through the air.


    ¡°Young master, be careful,¡± Man Fang warned as he saw Yang Xiaotian reaching out to touch the chest.


    ¡°It¡¯s all right,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, and the moment he touched the chest, the ckglow Ice Energy surged over his hand as if finding an exit.


    Man Fang¡¯s expression changed, he was about to intervene when suddenly he saw mes erupting from under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet, turning all the ckglow Ice Energy into smoke.


    Shocked by the mes under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s feet, Man Fang eximed, ¡°Earth me!¡±


    Before Man Fang¡¯s astonished eyes, the Earth me billowed from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm, quickly melting away the ckglow Ice Lock.


    However, when Yang Xiaotian opened the chest and looked inside, he was at a loss for words. Inside the huge chesty a piece of iron the size of a baby¡¯s fist.


    The iron gleamed ck and shone with Divine Light, enticing to behold, but it was disappointingly small.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was puzzled; such a small piece of Innate Divine Iron and they used such a huge chest to hold it?


    Seeing the size of the chest, he had expected the piece of Innate Divine Iron to be much bigger.


    To his surprise, it was only a tiny piece.


    He lifted the enormously heavy piece of Innate Divine Iron from the chest, and looking at it, Yang Xiaotian was speechless. How could such a small piece of Innate Divine Iron be enough to repair the Sword of Azure God?


    At least three pieces of that size would be needed to repair it sufficiently.


    ¡°Do you know where else we might find Innate Divine Iron?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask Man Fang.


    Man Fang was taken aback for a moment then pondered, ¡°As far as I know, the Sky Demon n also has a piece.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits lifted, ¡°Howrge is it?¡±


    ¡°It should be about the same size as this one,¡± hurriedly replied Man Fang.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t hide his disappointment; even including the Sky Demon n¡¯s piece, they were still one short.


    ¡°Aside from the Sky Demon n¡¯s piece of Innate Divine Iron, do the other ns have any?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked unwillingly.

 Chapter 351: 351 Demon Ape Ridge

    Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Demon Ape Ridge


    Man Fang tried to remember, shaking his head, ¡°Apart from the Sky Demon n, there shouldn¡¯t be any other ns that have it.¡± Then he said, ¡°Years ago, the Elf n had a piece, but that piece was already used by the ancient ancestor of the Elf n.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Suddenly, Man Fang thought of a ce and blurted out, ¡°There¡¯s a ce that might have Innate Divine Iron.¡±


    ¡°What ce?¡± Xiaotian quickly asked.


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Tomb,¡± Man Fang said.


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Tomb?¡± Xiaotian inquired.


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Tomb is in the Eternal Burial Ground, but,¡± Man Fang said, ¡°the tomb only opens on the fifteenth day of the seventh month.¡±


    ¡°The fifteenth of July?¡± Xiaotian was astonished.


    ¡°Yes, when the fifteenth of Julyes, the Eternal Heavenly Tomb will open automatically,¡± Man Fang¡¯s face turned serious. ¡°However, that day is when the Yin Ghost energy is the thickest, and the Eternal Heavenly Tomb happens to be where Yin Souls and malicious ghosts gather. It¡¯s extremely dangerous.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.<div>


    Since the Eternal Heavenly Tomb might have Innate Divine Iron, no matter how dangerous, he had to enter and find out for himself.


    At night, within the pce arranged for him by the Dwarf n, Yang Xiaotian took out the Sword of Azure God and the piece of Innate Divine Iron, then controlled the Divine me to repair the Sword of Azure God.


    As the Innate Divine Iron melted into the Sword of Azure God, the cracks on the de lessened considerably.


    After practicing the Azure God Sword Technique for a while, indeed, the power of the Sword of Azure God had increased significantly.


    After practicing for a while, Yang Xiaotian stopped and thought about the piece of Innate Divine Iron belonging to the Sky Demon n, feeling a headacheing on.


    Something divine like the Innate Divine Iron, convincing the Sky Demon n to hand it over would be difficult.


    Robbery was definitely out of the question.


    But how could he persuade the Sky Demon n to surrender that piece of Innate Divine Iron?


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian asked Man Fang for news about Man Lei.


    ¡°The heir is looking for the ancient ancestor?¡± Man Fang was surprised to hear that Yang Xiaotian was looking for their ancient ancestor.


    ¡°I heard that your ancient ancestor forged a Divine Sword of Everything?¡± Xiaotian asked.


    Man Fang said, ¡°Not to conceal from the heir, we have also been searching for the whereabouts of our ancient ancestor these years. We don¡¯t know his exact location, but we found out he had entered the Demon Ape Ridge before disappearing.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Demon Ape Ridge,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered.


    ¡°Yes, Demon Ape Ridge,¡± Man Fang said. ¡°The Demon Ape Ridge is close to the border of the Red Fire Country, quite far from here. It is said to be named because it suppresses an incredibly powerful Demon Ape.¡±


    ¡°Is that Demon Ape a Divine Spirit?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest piqued as he asked.


    Man Fang nodded, ¡°Yes, and its strength is extremely formidable. It¡¯s rumored to be the creature that the Heavenly Dragon Sword God suppressed.¡±


    The Heavenly Dragon Sword God and Demon Sky Sword God were Sword God powerhouses in the same era, both of equal fame in the Azure God Continent.


    If even the Heavenly Dragon Sword God could only suppress the Demon Ape without being able to y it, one could imagine the strength of this Demon Ape.


    Xiaotian then asked about the Demon Ape Ridge, the Red Fire Country, and the situation of the Hundred n Empire, gradually gaining a clearer understanding of the politics among the various ns within the Hundred n Empire.<div>


    In ancient times, the Dwarf n was the strongest among the Hundred n Empire, but with the fall of that ancestor of the Dwarf n, their strength gradually weakened.


    Nowadays, the Dwarf n could barely make it into the top ten of the Hundred n Empire.


    No wonder the Elf n dared to lead their army so boldly to snatch the Dwarf n¡¯s Innate Divine Iron.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian stayed with the Dwarf n. Besides meditating on the Ancient Thunder God Sword Path and the Azure God Sword Path, he asionally tested his Artifact Refining skills with the elder of the Dwarf n.<div>


    The more they exchanged views, the more astonished Man Fang and the others became, and the more admiration they felt for Yang Xiaotian.


    The seventh day of the first lunar month.


    Yang Xiaotian decided to head to Demon Ape Ridge to look for the whereabouts of the Dwarf ancestral elder, Man Lei.


    Though Man Fang and the other powerhouses of the Dwarf n were reluctant to part with him, they could only send Yang Xiaotian off from the Dwarf Mountains.


    Originally, Man Fang insisted on going with Yang Xiaotian to the Demon Ape Ridge, but considering that the Elf n Army might return, Yang Xiaotian suggested that Man Fang stay to oversee the Dwarf Tribe.


    ¡­


    The Demon Ape Ridge, rich in mineral resources and Spiritual Medicine, was considered a treasurend by many Sects and families in the Hundred n Empire, hence, many family elders would bring their younger members here for training.


    By doing so, they could enhance thebat experience of their younger members, and also find minerals and Spiritual Medicines for Artifact Refining and Alchemy.


    Although the Demon Ape Ridge was not within the Red Fire Country¡¯s territory, a treasurend like the Demon Ape Ridge was naturally coveted by the Red Fire Country, and thus, they had always stationed troops there.


    Only with permission from the Red Fire Country could one enter the Demon Ape Ridge.


    As dawn was breaking, many small families and individual experts were already gathering around the Demon Ape Ridge. Although these smaller ns and individuals could not enter, the resources around the Demon Ape Ridge were still quite good, making it an excellent ce for training.


    ¡°The War King Lineage has arrived!¡± Suddenly, an individual expert eximed.


    Everyone saw in the distance, a colossal war chariot made of Divine Metal speeding through the sky, carrying a young man with a Purple Gold Crown on his head and an Ancient Sword at his waist.<div>


    The chariot was driven by a stout One-Eyed Elder.


    ¡°It¡¯s the War King Prince!¡±


    ¡°The One-Eyed Elder!¡±


    Seeing the neers, amotion arose among the crowd.


    The War King Lineage was unquestionably one of the strongest in the Red Fire Country, highly regarded by the monarch, and the War King Prince was counted among the few Sword Dao Geniuses of the younger generation in the Red Fire Country.


    ¡°The Holy me Sect!¡± Just then, from another direction, a group of formidable riders on flying horses approached. This group wasn¡¯trge, with only ten individuals, but all emanated powerful life force and intense auras, astonishing the onlookers.


    The Holy me Sect was thergest sect in the Red Fire Country.


    People were surprised to see the Holy me Sect there that day, and moreover, it was the Saint Heir of the Holy me Sect who had arrived.

 Chapter 352: Charm Clan’s Lin Mei’er

    Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Charm n¡¯s Lin Mei¡¯er


    The flying horse ridden by the Holy me Sect¡¯s Saint Heir was exceptionally strong, his whole body coursing with vitality like the ocean, his muscles like sculptedrd, appearing incredibly beautiful.


    After the arrival of the Holy me Sect, dark clouds billowed at the edge of the sky, and a group of figures dressed in ck robes burst through the air.


    ¡°ck Cloud Mountain!¡± Seeing the arrivals, the crowd¡¯s expression changed, many experts disying a look of fear.


    ck Cloud Mountain was not under the jurisdiction of Red Fire Country but a massive, malicious force outside its borders, often lurking at the peripheries of neighboring nations, looting and piging.


    Its strength was such that not even Red Fire Country and its neighbors could deal with it easily, and moreover, ck Cloud Mountain had the support of the Three-Eyed River n.


    The Three-Eyed River n, within the Hundred n, had enough power to rank in the top ten, and in terms of might, they were even stronger than the Dwarf n.


    With the backing of the Three-Eyed River n, ck Cloud Mountain acted even more brazenly and arrogantly.


    Theer was none other than the Young Master of ck Cloud Mountain, Chen Jianzong.


    Many recognized Chen Jianzong and hastily backed away in shock.


    Chen Jianzong was known for his cruelty; sometimes he killed without needing a reason, taking lives simply if he didn¡¯t like your face or if he was in a bad mood, ready to chop you down at any moment.


    After Chen Jianzong arrived, he coldly swept his eyes across the crowd, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.


    Just as the crowd was feeling apprehensive, suddenly, two alluring figures tore through the sky.


    These two figures were both donning ck veils, their sheer dresses faintly visible, exuding a tempting allure.


    ¡°Charm n Princess Lin Mei¡¯er!¡±


    The Charm n was just below the Elf n and Sky Demon n in strength, and along with them made up the top three ns.


    Charm n Princess Lin Mei¡¯er was even more so the paragon of the young generation in the Hundred n Empire, naturally possessing a Saint Mandate and a Fire Spirit Sword Body, her talents no less than those of Xi Luo from the Elf n, also one of the top ten geniuses of the young generation in the Hundred n Empire.


    Upon seeing Lin Mei¡¯er¡¯s arrival, the Marquis of Red Blood, who oversaw Demon Ape Ridge in Red Fire Country, frightened his men to hurry forward and bowed respectfully: ¡°Song Hui of Red Fire Country greets Your Highness Princess!¡±


    The War King Prince, Holy me Saint Heir, and others also quickly came forward to pay their respects.


    Even Chen Jianzong, who was just arrogantly posturing and carrying an air of haughtiness, stepped forward and bowed, saying, ¡°Chen Jianzong of ck Cloud Mountain greets Your Highness Princess.¡±


    Lin Mei¡¯er nced at Chen Jianzong and the others, motioning for them to rise, intending to enter Demon Ape Ridge. However, just then, her gaze suddenly caught sight of several figures flying through the sky from afar.


    The young man leading them, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, captivated her attention.


    This young man possessed a peculiar force that actually made her feel an immense pressure!


    Lin Mei¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback with curiosity.


    Who was this young man who could make her, born with a Saint Mandate and a Fire Spirit Sword Body, feel such astonishing pressure?


    Seeing Lin Mei¡¯er¡¯s unusual expression, everyone else also followed her gaze.


    The arrivals were Yang Xiaotian and his group.


    Seeing Lin Mei¡¯er fixated on Yang Xiaotian, Chen Jianzong¡¯s brow furrowed.


    A princess of the Charm n like Lin Mei¡¯er, with both talent and beauty, naturally had plenty of admirers, and he, having once seen her, was one of them.


    Although he knew he was not worthy of her considering his status, seeing Lin Mei¡¯er staring intently at a young man, he felt a touch of jealousy.


    Yang Xiaotian had spotted Lin Mei¡¯er and Chen Jianzong from afar.


    In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Demon Ape Ridge, but as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were about to enter, the Marquis of Red Blood from the Red Fire Country stopped them.


    The Marquis of Red Blood asked in a deep voice, ¡°Do any of you have the Red Fire Holy Decree?¡±


    Apart from the Sect disciples and family members permitted by the Red Fire Country, anyone else wishing to enter the Demon Ape Ridge must possess the Red Fire Holy Decree issued by the King of the Red Fire Country.


    ¡°The Red Fire Holy Decree?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained calm, ¡°No.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Red Blood said sternly, ¡°Without the Red Fire Holy Decree, you may not enter the Demon Ape Ridge.¡± He thenmanded, ¡°Step back!¡± Turning to Lin Mei¡¯er, he respectfully said, ¡°Your Highness Princess, please!¡±


    ¡°What if I insist on entering?¡± inquired Yang Xiaotian indifferently.


    The Marquis of Red Blood¡¯s face turned cold instantly, and he sneered, ¡°Boy, try stepping forward and see what happens.¡±


    All the troops stationed by the Red Fire Country at Demon Ape Ridge surged forward.


    Though the number of troops stationed by the Red Fire Country at Demon Ape Ridge was notrge, only a thousand, each of them was a formidable warrior capable of fighting ten at a time. Many archers aimed their poisoned arrows at Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    These arrows were all coated with poison.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was blocking their path, Chen Jianzong, filled with murderous aura, shouted, ¡°Boy, without the Red Fire Holy Decree, scram! Don¡¯t block the Princess¡¯s way!¡±


    However, no sooner had he spoken than, suddenly, a figure shed and Chen Jianzong felt a sharp pain in his throat. He was lifted off the ground by the neck, held fast by Yang Xiaotian.


    Everyone was shocked to see Yang Xiaotian lifting Chen Jianzong by the neck off the ground.


    Even the Marquis of Red Blood and Prince Wang, among others, were taken by surprise.


    Who was Chen Jianzong? He was the Young Master of ck Cloud Mountain!


    It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that Chen Jianzong¡¯s status wasparable to that of a prince of the Red Fire Country. Yet this young man dared to grab him by the neck and lift him from the ground!


    Chen Jianzong had not expected this young man would dare to make a move against him! Enraged, he threw a punch toward Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Boy, you¡¯re seeking death!¡±


    His punchnded squarely on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest.


    But the moment his fist made contact with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest, his expression changed dramatically, for it felt as though he had punched a terrifying wall of Divine Iron.


    Crack!


    The sound of bones breaking could be heard.


    Chen Jianzong screamed in agony as the fingers of his right fist were shattered from the impact.


    Over the years, Yang Xiaotian had diligently practiced the Primordial Dragon Art every day,e rain or shine. The defense of his Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body was horrifically strong. It wasn¡¯t just any Martial Ancestor like Chen Jianzong, but even the most powerful Martial Emperors, who could not injure Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Young Master!¡± The experts from ck Cloud Mountain were infuriated upon seeing this and drew their des to strike at Yang Xiaotian.


    Witnessing this, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor¡¯s eyes turned cold. His supreme demonic power circted, Demonic Qi rolled about, and behind him formed the body of a Sky Demon. With an opened mouth, a terrifying force of devouring covered those experts from ck Cloud Mountain.


    In the blink of an eye, the life force of the ck Cloud Mountain experts poured out wildly; all were drained into dried husks.


    Seeing this, everyone gasped in shock. The Red Fire Country¡¯s experts who had just encircled them retreated in fear, horrified as they watched the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Prince Wang and the Holy me Sect Heir also retreated in rm, their bodyguards watching the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor as if facing a formidable enemy.

 Chapter 353 - 353 Death Bone Mountain

    Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Death Bone Mountain


    Chen Jianzong looked at the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor with the same terror.


    The dozens of people he had brought with him were the elite of Moyun Mountain, yet just in the blink of an eye, they had all been sucked dry into husks!


    Such methods were terrifying, to say the least.


    Just then, Yang Xiaotian punched Chen Jianzong in the belly, sending him flying away.


    Chen Jianzong rolled over to the edge of the cliff, doubled over, tears streaming down his face, which had turned green.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t pay any more attention to Chen Jianzong, and walked over to the Marquis of Red Blood.


    The Marquis of Red Blood¡¯s face changed color, and he clenched his fists tightly, but eventually, he chose to step aside.


    Yang Xiaotian, apanied by the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and a few others, entered Demon Ape Ridge.


    Their figures quickly vanished from everyone¡¯s sight.


    As Yang Xiaotian and his group disappeared, those loose cultivators and small family n experts were all abuzz.


    ¡°Who is this human youth? How dare he kill so many experts from ck Cloud Mountain! ck Cloud Mountain is backed by the Three-Eyed River n! This is literally piercing the heavens!¡±


    ¡°Without the Red Fire Holy Decree, he brazenly trespassed into Demon Ape Ridge, this is an open provocation against Red Fire Country. Just you watch, Red Fire Country will definitely send powerful masters and arge army!¡±


    ¡°More than a decade ago, a master also trespassed into Demon Ape Ridge relying on his strength; the emperor of Red Fire Country sent arge army, captured him! Since then, that master has been imprisoned in the ck Jail of Red Fire Country, and to this day, he hasn¡¯t seen the light of day again, moreover, he suffers all kinds of torture daily.¡±


    The surrounding people were engaged in a heated discussion.


    Lin Mei¡¯er of the Charm n, watching the disappearing figure of Yang Xiaotian, was full of astonishment and asked the shade beside her, ¡°Aunt Jiang, does this human youth possess a Divine Body?¡±


    If not for a Divine Body, how could he have taken a punch from Chen Jianzong and not only remained unharmed, but also shattered the other¡¯s five fingers?


    Aunt Jiang, too, looked towards where Yang Xiaotian had disappeared with a face full of astonishment, contemting, ¡°It should be some kind of Divine Body, I¡¯d think.¡±


    She wasn¡¯t very sure either.


    ¡°That demon race expert, can you make out the depth of his strength?¡± asked Lin Mei¡¯er, referring to the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Aunt Jiang¡¯s face grew solemn: ¡°I¡¯m afraid his strength is even above mine.¡±


    Lin Mei¡¯er was startled. Above Aunt Jiang?


    ¡°Princess, once we enter Demon Ape Ridge and find the item, let¡¯s leave at once,¡± Aunt Jiang said.


    She always had an unsettled feeling whenever they entered Demon Ape Ridge, as if something major was about to happen.


    Lin Mei¡¯er nodded.


    The two of them soared into the air and shed into Demon Ape Ridge.


    Once Lin Mei¡¯er and herpanion had entered Demon Ape Ridge, Chen Jianzong managed to stand up trembling. Bent over, he looked in the direction Yang Xiaotian had gone, his eyes filled only with endless murderous intent.


    ¡°Kid, I want you dead!¡±


    ¡°I want your entire family dead, your whole n extinguished!¡±


    Chen Jianzong howled venomously, his eyes blood red.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian entered Demon Ape Ridge, the Marquis of Red Blood reported the events that had urred there back to the Red Fire Royal Pce.


    Soon, the Red Fire Army flew out from Red Fire King City,ing with grand momentum.


    At the same time, not far from Demon Ape Ridge, ck Cloud Mountain had one batch after another of powerful figures flying out, rushing towards Demon Ape Ridge at great speed.


    Of all this, Yang Xiaotian was unaware.


    Although Demon Ape Ridge is called a ridge, it is actuallyprised of many peaks that stretch as far as the eye can see. The extent of its vastness is likely unclear even to the ruler of Red Fire Country.


    There are many ces within Demon Ape Ridge that have always been considered forbidden zones, where even the senior ancestors of Red Fire Country dare not tread.


    The disappearance of Man Lei, the ancient ancestor of the Dwarf n, is probably rted to these forbidden zones; therefore, after entering Demon Ape Ridge, Yang Xiaotian headed towards these dangerousnds.


    The first ce Yang Xiaotian arrived at was a swamp.


    This swamp was vast.


    It was covered with ck nts.


    The whole swamp was eerily silent, so quiet that it made one¡¯s heart palpitate, with a gray-green mist floating above it.


    ¡°Young master must be careful!¡± the Iceme Qilin, staring at the swamp before them, cautioned.


    This swamp exuded several extremely strong presences of death and darkness.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, circting the Primordial Dragon Art. True Dragon Wings unfolded behind him, and he donned a set of Divine Armor. This Divine Armor was found in the Space Ring after ying the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    Out of caution, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Abyssal Spaceship and, along with the three people including the Iceme Qilin, slowly entered the swamp aboard the ship.


    Perhaps it was the scent of the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc on the Abyssal Spaceship that frightened the creatures of death and dark demons lurking deep within the swamp, dissuading them from attacking.


    Inside the swamp, Yang Xiaotian extended his Soul Power, searching for Man Lei¡¯s whereabouts.


    Man Fang had given him an object belonging to Man Lei, which carried Man Lei¡¯s scent. As long as Man Lei was within a certain range, he was sure to sense it.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian reached the depths of the swamp, suddenly, he sensed an aura identical to Man Lei¡¯s emanating from beneath the swamp.


    Taken aback, Yang Xiaotian quickly piloted the spaceship directly through the swamp and into its depths.


    The swamp was very deep; after descending a hundred meters, Yang Xiaotian suddenly spotted arge cave in the mountainside ahead, from which Man Lei¡¯s scent was emerging.


    Yang Xiaotian put away the spaceship and, apanied by the Iceme Qilin and the others, arrived at the entrance of the cave.


    As soon as they entered, they felt an extremely intense death energy. This death energy was like endless waves, continuously surging out from within.


    They were all greatly rmed.


    Even the Iceme Qilin was witnessing such intense and shocking death energy for the first time.


    The three from the Iceme Qilin exerted their Divine Power, tightly guarding Yang Xiaotian.


    Being cautious, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Suddenly, the shadows of a thousand Buddhas appeared behind him, the Buddha¡¯s light illuminating all, scattering the death energy.


    The group cautiously entered the cave.


    Not long after entering the cave, they saw a Bone Mountain in front of them! A mammoth mountain, entirelyposed of human skulls, loomed before them!


    The terrible death energy was emanating from this Bone Mountain.


    To his shock, Yang Xiaotian discovered that the Buddha¡¯s light from the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, even when shone upon this Bone Mountain, was unable to dispel its death energy!


    Not only did the death energy not dissipate, but it also formed a Death Barrier, circting endlessly, blocking the Buddha¡¯s light from the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    The group was astounded.


    The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was a Divine me, the nemesis of all death qi and demonic qi, yet it couldn¡¯t break through the death qi of the Bone Mountain.


    What kind of death qi was this?

 Chapter 354: 354: Undying Death God

    Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Undying Death God


    Yang Xiaotian looked astonished when he saw a broken axe lying on the ground before the towering Bone Mountain!


    The aura of Man Lei was emanating from the broken axe.


    Clearly, the broken axe was the weapon of Man Lei.


    Man Lei had been here!


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was filled with shock and suspicion, suddenly, an eerie howling erupted from the Bone Mountain, and a skull flew up, its gray light trembling fiercely. The skull, originally the size of a human head, swelled against the wind and became asrge as a mountain.


    The skull let out a ghastly, strange howl and opened its enormous jaws, lunging crazily toward Yang Xiaotian and hispanions. Before the skull had even approached, a terrifying death Qi spread everywhere, nauseating anyone who smelled it.


    The Iceme Qilin suddenlyshed out with a palm strike.


    Boom!


    With a loud noise, the skull was blown apart.


    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, the skull that had just been shattered was enveloped by the death Qi of Bone Mountain and began to reassemble, returning to its original state!<div>


    ¡°Undying Death Qi?!¡± The Iceme Qilin, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Immortal Demon Ancestor all thought of the same thing; they spoke in unison, their expressions changing dramatically.


    It was as if they beheld the most terrifying thing in the world.


    ¡°Undying Death Qi!¡± Yang Xiaotian was equally astonished.


    He had read about Undying Death Qi in ancient texts left by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, but the details were not very thorough¡ªonly that Undying Death Qi was the most terrifying of all death Qi.


    This type of death Qi was extremely dreadful, even capable of contending against Divine mes!


    Then came another ghastly howl, and, all of a sudden, dozens of skulls flew out from the Bone Mountain, swelling with the wind and biting towards Yang Xiaotian and hispanions all at once.


    The Iceme Qilin and the others were greatly rmed and acted simultaneously.


    Yet, just like before, even after they shattered those dozens of skulls, they instantly reassembled, fully restored.


    Immediately afterward, hundreds of skulls rose from the Bone Mountain,unching a third wave of attacks at Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    ¡°Young Master, we must retreat quickly!¡± The Iceme Qilin eximed in rm as he saw the hundreds of mountain-like skulls attacking them.


    They could still cope with a few hundred skulls, but what about thousands, tens of thousands of skulls? Moreover, Bone Mountain had more than just tens of thousands of skulls¡ªthere were perhaps millions!


    If millions of skulls were to attack at once, not only would the three of them, including the Iceme Qilin, be overwhelmed, even the Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi might not be able to withstand it.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Yang Xiaotian knew they could not linger here and immediately called for a retreat while exerting all his power to summon the force of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    Suddenly, the light of the Buddha surged, and mes spread like a sea.


    Only then did the attack of the hundreds of skulls slow down.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions took the opportunity to exit the cave.


    To their relief, once they left the cave, the hundreds of skulls did not continue their attack.


    Piloting the Abyssal Spaceship, they returned to the swamp¡¯s skies.


    ¡°Undying Death Qi has actually emerged!¡± The Azure Thunder Python looked down at the swamp below them, still unsettled.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian had never seen the Iceme Qilin or the Azure Thunder Python look so grave.


    ¡°With Undying Death Qi appearing, the Azure God Continent is bound to undergo a great change!¡± The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor was also visibly shaken.


    Those skulls from before were clearly being manipted by someone behind the scenes, which was why they had attacked them aggressively.


    Thinking about the person controlling them from behind, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat.<div>


    ¡°Undying Death Qi?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the Iceme Qilin.


    ¡°Back in the day, Lord Azure God had a few archenemies, one of which was the Undefeated Nether God, and another was the Undying Death God!¡± The Iceme Qilin took a deep breath and said, his voice trembling as he mentioned the Undefeated Nether God and the Undying Death God.


    These two figures were seen as demonic overlords above all!


    Compared to these two, the behemoths of the Azure God Continent are nothing but insignificant ants.


    Yang Xiaotian asked incredulously, ¡°Old Bing, are you saying that the Undying Death God cultivated the Undying Death Qi?¡±


    ¡°Exactly!¡± The Iceme Qilin nodded with grave seriousness. The thought of the myriad terrifying legends of the Undying Death God caused its heart to beat differently.


    ¡°The Undying Death Qi of the Undying Death God is extremely fearsome. Even Lord Azure God had difficulty exterminating it!¡± The Azure Thunder Python said hoarsely, ¡°Only the top three Divine mes could suppress the Undying Death Qi!¡±


    The top three Divine mes!


    And the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire is only ranked tenth.


    No wonder they were unable to suppress the Undying Death Qi just now.


    ¡°Could it be that the Undying Death God was in the cave just now?¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said, turning pale.


    The Undying Death God, known as the ancestor of Death Spirits on the Azure God Continent, such an existence could obliterate them a hundred times over with a flick of a finger.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± The Iceme Qilin reacted violently, shaking its head, ¡°The Divine Tome records that Lord Azure God had already killed the Undying Death God! How could he possibly still be alive!¡±<div>


    The Azure Thunder Python swallowed and said, ¡°If the Undying Death God were still alive, the Azure God Continent would turn into hell. Once infected by the Undying Death Qi, everyone would turn into Death Spirits!¡±


    A weight settled in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not the Undying Death God. Have you forgotten the Undying Evil Venerable from a hundred thousand years ago?¡± the Iceme Qilin suddenly suggested.


    At the mention of the Undying Evil Venerable, the Azure Thunder Python and the Immortal Demon Ancestor also trembled with fear, theirplexions changing.


    The Iceme Qilin told Yang Xiaotian, ¡°A hundred thousand years ago, the Undying Evil Venerable obtained the Undying God Canon of the Undying Death God and caused a cataclysmic Blood Sea, ughtering countless Supreme Sects!¡±


    ¡°His strength was so formidable, almost rivaling that of the Undying Death God himself! No one could withstand a single strike from him!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian asked in shock, ¡°What happened after that?¡±


    ¡°After that, it was Lord Azure Bear himself who took action and finally suppressed the Undying Evil Venerable!¡± said the Iceme Qilin.


    But at this point, it hesitated.


    If both the Undying Death God and the Undying Evil Venerable were suppressed, then what was the deal with the Undying Death Qi that appeared in the cave just now?


    Who was manipting that Undying Death Qi?


    Everyone felt a chill down their spine.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We must head to Demon Ape Mountain!¡± Without dy, Yang Xiaotian piloted the ship towards the heart of Demon Ape Ridge, to Demon Ape Mountain.<div>


    There,y the sealed grounds of the Demon Ape.


    After subduing the Demon Ape, they would need to leave Demon Ape Ridge quickly.


    He had a premonition that a major disaster was about to strike Demon Ape Ridge!


    As Yang Xiaotian and hispanions rushed toward Demon Ape Mountain, deep within the Bone Mountain in the cave, a young man was sitting cross-legged. This young man had a normal lower body with flesh and blood, but his head was a skull!


    Undying Death Qi entwined around his body, forming one Undying Being after another, each a hundred times more terrifying than the Undying Death Qi Xiaotian and hispanions had encountered.


    The young man repeatedly practiced the Undying God Canon, and as he did so, flesh started to grow on his neck.


    This was a sign that the Undying God Canon was nearing Great Aplishment.


    Once his head also grew flesh, that would be the Great Aplishment of the Undying God Canon.


    At that time, he would possess an undying body!


    After flesh grew on his neck, his facial features also gradually took shape.


    Finally, the top of his head.


    Atst, the final piece of flesh appeared on the top of his head.


    The young man opened his eyes, his body¡¯s Undying Death Qi dispersed explosively, his fearsome power surged to the heavens, causing an explosion in the cave. The world turned dark as if at the brink of apocalypse.<div>

 Chapter 355: 355: Heartfelt Demon Ape

    Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Heartfelt Demon Ape


    ¡°The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire is actually in the hands of a youth, a Human Race youth can actually control the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire!¡± The young man revealed a sinisterly charming smile that sent shivers down one¡¯s spine, ¡°Interesting, interesting. It seems that this emergence of mine is destined not to be too lonely!¡±


    ¡°Little guy, we will meet again!¡±


    Hisughter echoed through the cave, shaking the rocks and causing them to tumble.


    By this time, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions had finally arrived at Demon Ape Mountain.


    Like Demon Ape Ridge, Demon Ape Mountain was also one of the forbiddennds, hence it was sparsely popted, as quiet as Death Swamp.


    The Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python looked at the towering Demon Ape Mountain with solemn expressions.


    Others might not sense the wild and murderous intent of Demon Ape Mountain, but they all did.


    This violent intent to kill came from the deepest underground part of Demon Ape Mountain.


    ¡°Young Master, the suppressed Demon Ape is at the deepest part of Demon Ape Mountain, underground!¡± the Iceme Qilin said to Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Is there a way to get in?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.<div>


    Blue mes flickered in the eyes of the Iceme Qilin as it peered through theyers of the mountain to inspect the deepest parts of Demon Ape Mountain. It soon withdrew its gaze and said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°We can get in, but we will need to use the power of your Divine Fire to do so.¡±


    After receiving the Qilin¡¯s affirmative reply, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Good, then let¡¯s go in now!¡±


    He could not afford to dy even a moment longer.


    Under the power of the eleven Sword Hearts, he sensed that the deathly energy in the cave was growing stronger and more terrifying by the minute.


    So, the Iceme Qilin manifested its true form, and Yang Xiaotian rode upon it as they flew towards the deepest part of Demon Ape Mountain.


    The Azure Thunder Python and Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor promptly followed.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian and hispany reached the deepest part of Demon Ape Mountain.


    To their surprise, the ground at the deepest part of the mountain was covered withyers uponyers of ckglow Ice.


    No wonder the Iceme Qilin had previously mentioned needing the power of his Divine Fire.


    Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire. Under its power, the ckglow Ice began to melt away. Unhappy with the speed, Yang Xiaotian also called upon the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    With both Divine Fires at work, they melted the hundred-zhang-thick ckglow Ice.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor watched thirstily.


    This was the first time he had witnessed Yang Xiaotian controlling both Divine Fires since he had started following him.


    After melting the ckglow Ice, the Iceme Qilin spread its icy blue mes and broke the ground, leading Yang Xiaotian and the others down into the depths.


    There was a cold vein beneath Demon Ape Mountain, which over the years had turned the entire mountain body into frozen soil, extremely hard. Even with the Iceme Qilin¡¯s icy blue mes fully unleashed, it was difficult to break through this frozen soil.


    Fortunately, they had Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two Divine Fires.


    However, after descending a thousand zhang, the frozen soil became even harder, and their speed was hindered.


    An hour of effortter, they finally reached the bottom.


    Underneath Demon Ape Mountain was an enormous underground space.<div>


    It waspletely open.


    In the middle of the t ground stood an immenselyrge Demon Ape covered in ck fur. Swirls of Demonic Qi rolled around its body, and its arms and hands were all locked with chains that stretched thousands of zhang.


    Around the Demon Ape were four giant pirs to which the chains were connected.


    The pirs seemed to extend from deep within the ground, connecting the entire mountain as one.<div>


    From afar, the Demon Ape appeared like a towering mountain of ck, with the sky behindpletely obscured by it.


    The true forms of the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python wererge enough, yet the Demon Ape before them was even taller andrger by a couple of sizes.


    Sensing the arrival of Yang Xiaotian and hispanions, the Demon Ape opened its eyes.


    Suddenly, a killing intent as overwhelming as a tsunami surged toward Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled, the killing intent of the Demon Ape was incredibly shocking.


    Just this killing intent alone, I¡¯m afraid many in the Emperor Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it.


    The Demon Ape¡¯s eyes were blood-red, staring at Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    Just a few days ago, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm, but now, being stared at by the eyes of the Demon Ape, he still felt his heart chill.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others flew towards the Demon Ape.


    Seeing this, the Demon Ape slowly stood up from the ground.


    As it stood, it was like a mountain pressing down on the earth, trembling the ground incessantly, as if an earthquake had urred.


    Witnessing the Demon Ape standing up, Yang Xiaotian and the others were shocked, as it was now more than twice its initial height, practically obscuring the sky.


    However, the limbs of the Demon Ape were shackled, limiting its range of movement to only around the stone pir.<div>


    ¡°Beast God, Iceme Qilin! Azure Thunder Python!¡± It stared at the Iceme Qilin seated beneath Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python behind him, with a hint of surprise in its eyes.


    A young man had actually tamed two Beast Gods, which left the Demon Ape filled with astonishment and suspicion.


    ¡°Heartfelt Demon Ape!¡± The Iceme Qilin also recognized the true form of the Demon Ape in front of it.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape, like the Azure Thunder Python before it evolved, was both a Divine Beast King.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape in front of them was very powerful, far surpassing both the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python.


    Although the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python were Super Divine Beasts, even if they joined forces, it was doubtful they could match this Heartfelt Demon Ape.


    Yang Xiaotian gazed at the Heartfelt Demon Ape.


    On its chest, there was an astoundinglyrge wound that stretched from its shoulder all the way down to its belly, resembling a great rift valley.


    Judging by the wound, it should be a sword injury.


    Unknown whether it was inflicted by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God of yore, it still hadn¡¯t healed after so many years.


    ¡°What brings you to this ce?¡± the Demon Ape spoke, its voice like thunder, shaking the space around them.


    Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Senior, do you wish to leave this ce? I can free you from here.¡±


    The Demon Ape, upon hearing this, paused, then burst intoughter, the space shaking uncontrobly, terrifying Demonic Qi billowing violently, causing the rocks of Demon Ape Mountain to scatter and fly.<div>


    ¡°Little guy, you can free me from this ce?¡± itughed. ¡°Even I cannot break free from these iron chains, do you really have a way to unlock them? Do you know what these chains are made of?¡±


    ¡°ck Crystal Cold Iron!¡± Yang Xiaotian uttered.


    ck Crystal Cold Iron is one of the hardest metals in the world.


    The Demon Ape¡¯sughter ceased, and it stared at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Since you know it¡¯s ck Crystal Cold Iron, you should be aware it¡¯s one of the hardest metals in this world.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian did not speak but instead drew a sword.


    Seeing the sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, the Demon Ape was shockingly surprised: ¡°Sword of Azure God!¡±


    Yes, what Yang Xiaotian had taken out was, in fact, the Sword of Azure God.


    Though the Sword of Azure God was notpletely repaired, cutting through the ck Crystal Cold Iron was still not an issue.


    ¡°You actually received the legacy of the Lord of Azure God!¡± The Demon Ape stared at Yang Xiaotian, eyes filled with shock.


    After a million years, the Sword of Azure God was seen once again! And in the hands of a human youth no less! How could it not be shocked.


    ¡°I can free you and return your freedom, but you will need to be my mount,¡± Yang Xiaotian cut straight to the point, stating his intention.


    Now, he was in urgent need of subordinates in the Divine Spirit Realm.


    <div>

 Chapter 356: 356: The Advent of the Undying Death Qi

    Chapter 356: Chapter 356: The Advent of the Undying Death Qi


    The Demon Ape was dumbfounded. It stared at Yang Xiaotian, at the Sword of Azure God in his hand, its expression alternating between gloom and brightness, as it took a deep breath, ¡°Fine, if you can grant me my freedom again, I shall be your Mount Beast.¡±


    It understood what the Sword of Azure God meant.


    And it was precisely for this reason that it did not have too many reservations or hesitations.


    In the future, when Yang Xiaotian wielded control over the Azure God Continent, being his Mount Beast would be an unparalleled honor.


    So, Yang Xiaotian had the Demon Ape release its soul, and with the blood pact method, he imprinted a spiritual mark in the Sea of Souls of the Demon Ape.


    With his current Soul Power, he was fully capable of controlling three Mount Beasts.


    Yang Xiaotian then infused his True Yuan, shing towards the iron chains.


    ¡°ng!¡± A resonant sound echoed.


    The iron chain burst out with astonishing cold light.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, the ck Crystal Cold Iron chain was even harder than he had imagined. With his full-force sh, he only left a clear nick on the chain.<div>


    Each chain was several meters thick; at this rate, it might take an hour just to cut through one chain.


    To cut all four chains, wouldn¡¯t it take half a day?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyebrows frowned, and he simply took out the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword as well.


    ¡°Heaven-Prating Divine Sword!¡± The Demon Ape¡¯s eyes widened upon seeing the second sword that Yang Xiaotian drew.


    Damn it.


    It was Divine Master Hong Feng¡¯s Heaven-Prating Divine Sword!


    Was the person it had just acknowledged as master, the future Divine Master of the Martial Soul World?


    Its breathing began to change.


    Yang Xiaotian infused True Yuan, and both Divine Swords simultaneously shed down.


    After a clear and crisp resounding boom, this time, the niche in the chain was much deeper.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian activated the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, and immediately, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword¡¯s Buddha mes surged out.


    Seeing the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, the Demon Ape was shocked, but then it saw the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword¡¯s light tremble fiercely, and thunder and fire roared forth.


    Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire!


    Two great Divine mes! Two great Divine Swords!


    For the first time, the Demon Ape questioned its life.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated a moment, then also summoned his two Divine Grade Golden Cores.


    Looking at the two Divine Grade Golden Cores flying within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, the Demon Ape almost fell to its knees in fright.


    Thinking of the Undying Death Qi in the cave, Yang Xiaotian once again summoned his two million-year-old Soul Rings.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s release of two Supreme King Martial Souls and two million-year-old Soul Rings, the Demon Ape copsed to the ground utterly, its overwhelming intent to ughter now entirely gone.<div>


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor also trembled with fear at the sight of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two Supreme King Martial Souls and two million-year-old Soul Rings.


    The Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python were a bit better off, but they too were terrified.


    Those were the Soul Rings of the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc, just the aura of these two mighty figures alone was enough to scare many Fierce Beasts half to death.


    With firepower at full st, indeed, when Yang Xiaotian shed down again, he cut a very deep gap into the chain.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly encouraged and shed down repeatedly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± With that sound, finally, one of the chains was cut through.


    Following suit, Yang Xiaotian cut through the second and third chains.


    When Yang Xiaotian broke the fourth chain, the Demon Ape finally regained its freedom.


    However, though one end of the chains was cut, the other end was still shackling the Demon Ape¡¯s hands and feet. So, Yang Xiaotian took up his sword once more and severed the chains from the Demon Ape¡¯s limbs.


    ¡°Elder Ape expresses his gratitude to the young master for his great kindness!¡± the Demon Ape thanked Yang Xiaotian, full of excitement.


    It had been imprisoned at the bottom of Demon Ape Mountain for thousands of years, living a fate worse than death, and now, it had finally regained its freedom.


    As the Demon Ape expressed its gratitude, the ground trembled incessantly, and the ground was struck by its head, leaving a terrifying deep pit.


    Yang Xiaotian watched the terrifying pit on the ground and sighed, asking the Demon Ape to rise.


    Seeing the gaping wound on the Demon Ape¡¯s chest resembling a grand canyon, Yang Xiaotian took out a serving of sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and a Life-Extending Pill, and had the Demon Ape swallow them.


    The Demon Ape, seeing Yang Xiaotian willingly offer it sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for its injuries, was even more filled with tears of gratitude.


    After swallowing the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the Divine Grade Life-Extending Pill, the great canyon-like wound on the Demon Ape shrank considerably but still failed topletely heal.


    The injury left by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God was fatal, and even treasures such as the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water could not heal itpletely in an instant.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian knew this couldn¡¯t be hurried, and immediately led the Iceme Qilin and the others to leave the space beneath Demon Ape Mountain.


    Upon exiting Demon Ape Mountain, the Heartfelt Demon Ape, now in human form and taller than both the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python, stood almost three meters high¡ªstanding behind Yang Xiaotian, he was a giant.


    What was even more peculiar was that not only was his chest covered in ck fur, but his entire body was as well, a sight that could make one¡¯s skin crawl just by looking at him.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were about to depart, suddenly, a loud boom resonated.


    Demon Ape Mountain trembled violently.


    No, it was not just Demon Ape Mountain that shook violently, but the entire Demon Ape Ridge was quaking.


    An extremely terrifying power swept through all of Demon Ape Ridge.


    It was as if some horrifying entity was awakening.


    What¡¯s going on?


    All the experts from the various families who had entered Demon Ape Ridge were shocked.


    Then, everyone saw the deadly Qi rise like a towering wave, covering all the peaks, as the force of death churned both heaven and earth.


    ¡°Undying Death Qi!¡± The faces of Yang Xiaotian and hispanions paled.


    Even the Demon Ape was greatly surprised.<div>


    ¡°Undying Death Qi has emerged, young master, hurry and leave!¡± the Azure Thunder Python urged urgently.


    Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Abyssal Spaceship, propelled it upwards, and rushed out of Demon Ape Ridge with severalpanions.


    Just then, the towering death Qi swept over Demon Ape Ridge like an apocalyptic tsunami, engulfing every corner.


    Screams of agony resounded immediately.


    Yang Xiaotian looked and saw that some of the slower family disciples were instantly consumed by the Undying Death Qi.


    The family disciples devoured by the Undying Death Qi were in excruciating pain, their flesh starting to corrode, as if it had been doused with horrifying sulfuric acid, bubbling all over their bodies¡ªan exceptionally terrifying sight.


    In a certain corner of Demon Ape Ridge, Princess Lin Mei¡¯er and Aunt Jiang also saw the towering death Qi.


    ¡°Undying Death Qi!¡± Aunt Jiang recognized the death Qi before her, and even through her veil, one could see the terror on her face.


    ¡°Princess, we must hurry!¡± She shouted in rm, preparing to flee through the sky with Lin Mei¡¯er, but they were already one step behind¡ªthe Undying Death Qi was surging from all directions, both from above and below.


    Aunt Jiang roared furiously and brought out an exceptional sword, shing violently at the Undying Death Qi, and finally tearing open a slit justrge enough to let a single person through.


    ¡°Princess, go now!¡± She pushed Lin Mei¡¯er through the opening with a palm strike.


    When it was time for her to exit, the opening closed again.


    Screaming in rm, Lin Mei¡¯er eximed, ¡°Aunt Jiang!¡±<div>


    Aunt Jiang watched as the Undying Death Qi swept over everything and, gripping her sword, struck out with all her might again. But this time, her strike only managed to open a crack in the wave of death Qi¡ªshe couldn¡¯t escape.


    Looking at the rapidly engulfing Undying Death Qi, she shouted to Lin Mei¡¯er outside, ¡°Princess, don¡¯t worry about me, hurry, escape from Demon Ape Ridge!¡±


    ¡°The emergence of Undying Death Qi signals great changes in the world! Go back quickly and inform the n Leader and the Elder!¡±

 Chapter 357: 357 Sky Demon Princess

    Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Sky Demon Princess


    Aunt Jiang had just finished speaking when a massive wave of Undying Death Qipletely enveloped her, and she was nowhere to be seen.


    ¡°Aunt Jiang!¡± Lin Mei¡¯er watched as Aunt Jiang waspletely wrapped in the Undying Death Qi and cried out in anger and sorrow, her long sword shing frantically at the Undying Death Qi.


    But her strength had no effect on the Undying Death Qi, not to mention creating a split, there wasn¡¯t even a fine crack.


    ¡°Aunt Jiang!¡± She wailed.


    At that moment, the Undying Death Qi surged towards her crazily.


    Upon seeing this, Lin Mei¡¯er, filled with rage, struck with her sword and simultaneously attempted to flee outward.


    However, the abundance and strength of the Undying Death Qi were simply too overwhelming, soon catching up and wrapping around her incessantly.


    ¡°Help!¡± Seeing the encroaching death qi, Lin Mei¡¯er, forgetting her status as a princess, cried out in panic.


    She swung her sword desperately, but she could not cut through the Undying Death Qi surrounding her at all.


    Yang Xiaotian piloted the Abyssal Spaceship and from afar saw Lin Mei¡¯er being continuously enveloped by the Undying Death Qi.<div>


    After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to reach out to save Lin Mei¡¯er.


    Had he not acted, Lin Mei¡¯er would have perished.


    ¡°Take action to save her!¡± Yang Xiaotianmanded.


    Immediately, the Demon Ape mmed down a mighty palm.


    All at once, a giant palm appeared in the sky, its Demonic Qi rolling and roaring as it crashed down.


    The death qi that had been wrapping around Lin Mei¡¯er was scattered by the blow.


    Aunt Jiang¡¯s full-force sword strike had only managed to create a small crack, yet now the Demon Ape¡¯s palm st had directly exploded the death qi, eclipsing her power with its invincible might.


    Lin Mei¡¯er looked in astonishment at the giant covered in ck fur.


    ¡°Get on the ship!¡± Yang Xiaotian shouted.


    Awakened from her shock, Lin Mei¡¯er flew aboard the ship.


    Yang Xiaotian piloted the spaceship and tore through the sky to depart.


    On the way, any Undying Death Qi that surged towards the spaceship was sted away with a single palm from the Demon Ape.


    It was as if the gods themselves were being defied, the death qi blocked and exploded!


    Witnessing the power of the Demon Ape, Yang Xiaotian nodded inwardly, feeling his efforts to save the creature were not in vain.


    Just then, the Red Fire Army from Red Fire King City and thousands of powerhouses from ck Cloud Mountain who arrived also saw the sky-high, terrifying death qi within Demon Ape Ridge.


    ¡°What kind of death qi is this? How can there be such terrifying death qi inside Demon Ape Ridge?¡± Marquis of Red Blood¡¯splexion drastically changed; as someone who had guarded Demon Ape Ridge for many years, this was his first time witnessing such horrifying death qi.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Undying Death Qi!¡±


    ¡°The Undying Death Qi has emerged, run for your lives!¡±


    Suddenly, amidst the crowd, an old ancestor cried out in terror and fled frantically.<div>


    ¡°What, the Undying Death Qi!¡± Both Marquis of Red Blood and the approaching Red Fire Army turned pale and retreated in shock.


    ¡°Retreat fast!¡± The experts from ck Cloud Mountain yelled in rm, pulling Chen Jianzong with them as they rapidly retreated and flew away.


    Upon hearing that it was the Undying Death Qi, all the practitioners from various sects who were about to enter Demon Ape Ridge for trials became so frightened they fled in panic.


    In an instant, the outer area of Demon Ape Ridge was utterly deserted by all strong individuals.<div>


    Meanwhile, inside Demon Ape Ridge, death qi rolled and surged, drowning every nook and cranny.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ship broke through the thick deathly aura and finally flew out of Demon Ape Ridge.


    Although the Undying Death Qi did not escape from Demon Ridge, Yang Xiaotian did not dare to linger for a moment, continuing to speed forward with the ship.


    Only after flying out of Red Fire Ancient Country did Yang Xiaotian finally stop.


    Night had fallen.


    Surrounded by wild mountains, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions sat around the campfire.


    Lin Mei¡¯er, the prince of the Charm n, sat next to Yang Xiaotian, her face filled with sorrow, still grieving for Aunt Jiang¡¯s death.


    Suddenly, a figure descended, it was Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, who had gone to gather information.


    ¡°How did it go?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked anxiously.


    ¡°The Sect Disciples who entered Demon Ape Ridge were almostpletely devoured by the deathly aura,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head and added, ¡°However, it¡¯s strange that the Undying Death Qi has not broken out of Demon Ape Ridge.¡±


    Hearing that the Undying Death Qi had not broken out of Demon Ape Ridge, Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat relieved.


    However, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the Undying Death Qi would escape Demon Ape Ridge, and the thought of the Undying Death Qi sweeping across the Azure God Continent weighed heavy on his heart.


    ¡°Right now, the people of Red Fire Ancient Country and the neighboring ancient countries are in a state of panic; those in the border cities are especially rmed, fleeing in chaos, and it has descended into mayhem,¡± continued Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor. Suddenly, he shifted the topic, ¡°By the way, young master, I¡¯ve learned that the Sky Demon Princess has set up a martial challenge in Sky Demon City and is challenging the talented youths from all over!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian asked in surprise, ¡°Why?¡±


    At this moment, Lin Mei¡¯er spoke up, ¡°Tian Wanqing is very belligerent, frequently challenging geniuses from various ns. Later, finding individual challenges too troublesome, she set up a martial tform to challenge the young talents from all over!¡±


    ¡°She did this a few years ago,¡± Lin Mei¡¯er continued.


    Tian Wanqing was indeed the Sky Demon Princess.


    The Sky Demon Princess was also one of the top ten prodigies of the Hundred n Empire and even the leader among them. In terms of talent and strength, she was much stronger than both Xi Luo and the current Lin Mei¡¯er.


    Tian Wanqing was born with the Mad Demon Bloodline, one of the strongest ancient bloodlines. Those with this bloodline are innately warlike, almost to the point of madness.


    ¡°The Sky Demon Princess has dered that whoever can defeat her will receive a billion low-grade Spirit Stones! A hundred supreme-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills! Moreover, the victor may pick a treasure from the Sky Demon n Treasure Vault,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said. ¡°As soon as the news spread, nearly all the talented individuals from the Hundred n Empire rushed towards Sky Demon City.¡±


    ¡°Even many geniuses from the Elf n have hurried to Sky Demon City.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lin Mei¡¯er shook her head and said, ¡°That crazy woman!¡±


    A billion low-grade Spirit Stones as a reward was simply insane.


    Many Supreme Sects couldn¡¯t even gather a billion low-grade Spirit Stones if they sold everything they had, let alone the hundred supreme-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills and the opportunity to pick a treasure from the Sky Demon n vault.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest was piqued and he asked, ¡°Can one really pick any treasure from the Sky Demon n vault?¡±


    ¡°Yes, young master,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor nodded. ¡°I found out that the piece of Innate Divine Iron you¡¯re looking for is in the Sky Demon n vault.¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian immediately stood up, ¡°To the Sky Demon n!¡±


    Now that the Undying Death Qi had emerged, it was even more urgent for him to repair the Sword of Azure God and to cultivate the fourteen Sword Hearts. Legend had it that once one cultivated fourteen Sword Hearts, they would possess unimaginable power.


    Yang Xiaotian asked Lin Mei¡¯er if she wanted toe along to the Sky Demon n, but she hesitated. She wanted to follow Yang Xiaotian to the Sky Demon n, but with Aunt Jiang dead and the emergence of the Undying Death Qi, she needed to return to the Charm n first.


    Finally, she clenched her teeth and said, ¡°Young master, go to the Sky Demon n first. I need to return to the Charm n before heading to the Sky Demon n. Lin Mei¡¯er will definitely repay you for your kindness in saving me.¡±


    Seeing that Lin Mei¡¯er needed to return to the Charm n, Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°My name is Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    Afterward, the group set off for the Sky Demon n. Since part of the journey was on the way, Lin Mei¡¯er rode with Yang Xiaotian in his ship for a while before they parted.


    It was daylight when Lin Mei¡¯er and Yang Xiaotian separated.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, Lin Mei¡¯er murmured, ¡°Yang Xiaotian.¡± She etched the name deep in her heart and then sped off into the sky.


    The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and


    continue reading tomorrow, everyone!

 Chapter 358: 358 Sky Demon Arena

    Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Sky Demon Arena


    The Abyssal Spaceship traveled non-stop, and after several days, it arrived at the Sky Demon n.


    Because the news of the emergence of the Undying Death Qi from Demon Ape Ridge had spread, the Sky Demon n had obviously strengthened their defense, and the border army was tightly guarded.


    However, once inside the territory of the Sky Demon n, the major cities were still bustling and orderly, and it seemed that the people were not affected by the Undying Death Qi, continuing to eat and drink as usual.


    When they arrived in Sky Demon City, the sky had already darkened.


    Inside Sky Demon City, it was vibrant, with a steady stream of horse-drawn carriages.


    Because the Sky Demon Princess had set up an arena, powerful figures from various ns could be seen everywhere.


    ¡°We¡¯ll first rest at a nearby tavern for the night, then head to the arena tomorrow,¡± Yang Xiaotian told the others.


    Although Tian Wanqing had set up the arena, she did not ept challenges at night, so Yang Xiaotian nned to find a tavern to rest for the night before heading to the arena the next day.


    Consequently, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions inquired about nearby taverns and headed towards one.


    It didn¡¯t take long for Yang Xiaotian to arrive at the Hundred n Grand Tavern.<div>


    The Hundred n Grand Tavern was thergest tavern of the Hundred n Empire and quite imposing.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions entered the tavern, which was decorated in glittering gold and brilliance, with many seats already filled. Seeing an empty table by the window, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions made their way over.


    However, as Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were about to reach the empty table, they were stopped by a young man from the Three-Eyed River n nearby who sneered, ¡°Kid, that table has already been reserved.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyebrows knit together.


    He called over a waiter and asked if the empty table had indeed been reserved, and the waiter hesitated.


    Seeing the waiter¡¯s expression, Yang Xiaotian understood what was going on.


    Clearly, the empty table had not been reserved; rather, the young man from the Three-Eyed River n did not want him to sit there.


    At this moment, the young man from the Three-Eyed River n took a big gulp of wine, sat there, and said disdainfully, ¡°Kid, do you think you, a member of the Human Race, deserve to sit down and drink just like us?¡±


    ¡°You Humans are only fit to stand and drink!¡±


    Another expert from the Three-Eyed River nughed, ¡°If you ask me, the Human Race doesn¡¯t even have the qualification to stand and drink. They should only be worthy of lying on the ground to drink, lying down like dogs!¡±


    The experts from the Three-Eyed River n allughed.


    Experts from the Sky Demon n, Elf n, and even the Charm nughed out loud.


    But Yang Xiaotian simply lifted his foot and kicked the young man from the Three-Eyed River n, sending him flying.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch and sent the other three experts from the Three-Eyed River n flying out.


    Then, Yang Xiaotian pulled the four men back in front of him with a single palm and punched them away again.


    Yang Xiaotian pulled the four men back and sent them flying once more.


    Again and again.


    The entire tavern fell silent.


    Experts from the Elf n, Shi n, and Charm n looked at Yang Xiaotian in shock.<div>


    They knew that Yang Xiaotian was hitting He Fang, the son of the Three-Eyed River n¡¯s Great Elder.


    He Fang and hispanions were beaten by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force punch after punch until they were rolling in their own urine, battered beyond belief, even vomiting their bile.


    After at least a dozen punches, Yang Xiaotian finally sent the four men flying out of the tavern with one punch.


    Yang Xiaotian scanned the experts from the Sky Demon n, Elf n, and Charm n and said coldly, ¡°Did you find it funny just now?¡±<div>


    He was referring to the Human Race lying on the ground to drink.


    Tian Renye, a direct disciple of the Sky Demon n, saw that Yang Xiaotian, a member of the Human Race, dared to question him and his face darkened, ¡°Kid, what do you think you are! It¡¯s not your ce to question me!¡±


    Then he sneered, ¡°But, it is funny to see the Human Race lying on the ground to drink like dogs!¡±


    With that said, he burst into loudughter.


    At this time, the two Emperor Realm elders standing beside him stood up, staring at Yang Xiaotian with a menacing look, ready to strike him with a thunderous blow if he dared to make a move.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure shed, and he appeared in front of Tian Renye.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was really making a move, the two elders suddenly pped at Yang Xiaotian with a palm, ¡°Young man, you truly have a death wish! This is Sky Demon City, not a ce for a member of the Human Race to act recklessly!¡±


    However, as soon as the two made their move, suddenly, a huge hand covered with ck hair appeared above their heads, crushing down with the force of Mount Tai.


    They could only feel darkness before their eyes.


    A loud booming sound echoed.


    The two were directly smashed into the ground.


    The one who had made the move was the Demon Ape.


    The Demon Ape¡¯s palm had erge tens of times, easily gripping the two men in it, and then, like kneading dough, it clenched its five fingers, and forcefully kneaded.<div>


    The two screamed miserably, the sound of their bones breaking continuously rang out, as the Demon Ape crushed all the bones in their bodies to dust.


    Seeing this scene, the experts from the Elf n and Charm n in the tavern all changed their expressions.


    The two elders beside Tian Renye were not ordinary Emperor Realm fighters, but were at the peak of the Emperor Realm¡¯s tenthyer, and yet they were being kneaded like dough, gripped and kneaded forcefully in hand.


    The Demon Ape¡¯s eyes were cold and ruthless, and with another knead, the two screamed, their bodies bursting, with blood spraying uncontrobly.


    Tian Renye turned pale at the sight.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch, sting Tian Renye away.


    Just as he had done earlier with He Fang and his four men, Yang Xiaotian pulled Tian Renye back and sted him away again, then pulled him back, and sted him away again. After pummeling Tian Renye half to death, he finally sent him flying out of the tavern.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze fell on those few Elf n experts, his voice still cold, ¡°You all thought it was funny just now, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    Their expressions were cloudy and uncertain.


    One of them couldn¡¯t help but angrily say, ¡°Young man, do you know who I am? I am the Hai Family Young Master of the Elf n! You, a lowly member of the Human Race!¡±


    The Hai Family is one of the most powerful families in the Elf n, with strength second only to the royal family of the Elf n.


    The former City Lord of Qinghe City, Hai Ba, who was pressed to death by Yang Xiaotian, was a disciple of the Hai Family.


    No sooner had the Hai Family Young Master finished speaking than he was grabbed by the throat by Yang Xiaotian, who delivered punch after punch, causing the Hai Family Young Master to scream miserably.<div>


    The other Elf n experts wanted to intervene but were blown away by a palm strike from the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian sted the Hai Family Young Master, who was half dead, out of the tavern, then swept his gaze over the Charm n and other n experts, his voice ice-cold, ¡°Does anyone else find this amusing?¡±


    This time, no one dared to make a sound.


    Only after Yang Xiaotian and Demon Ape had left, having eaten and drank their fill, did the tavern erupt into amotion.


    ¡°Who is this Human Race youth? He even dared toy a hand on Tian Renye in Sky Demon City, the son of the General of Sky Demon n!¡±


    ¡°This time, it seems the Hai Family Patriarch has alsoe to Sky Demon City!¡±


    ¡°Not just the Hai Family Patriarch, even the Elf Queen Xi Yuandong hase to Sky Demon City. It¡¯s said she¡¯s here to discuss matters about Demon Ape Ridge with the Elf n Leader, and also, the Three-Eyed River n Leader hase, all concerning the emergence of the Undying Death Qi in Demon Ape Ridge!¡±


    There was endless discussion among the crowd.


    A night passed.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions walked towards the Sky Demon Princess Tian Wanqing¡¯s arena.


    By now, it was already broad daylight.


    The arena was surrounded by experts from all ns.


    Yang Xiaotian saw Tian Wanqing in the arena.<div>


    Tian Wanqing stood over one meter seventy, pretty and delicate, with a bronzeplexion exuding wild grace within hereliness.


    What Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected was that the Elf n¡¯s Great Prince Xi Luo was also there, vying with Tian Wanqing on the arena stage.


    Yang Xiaotian looked toward the distant stands and saw the Elf n Ancestor Xi Mo. Xi Mo was sitting next to the Elf n Leader, the Elf Queen Xi Yuandong.


    Apart from Xi Yuandong, the General of Sky Demon n Leader and the Three-Eyed River n Leader were all present.

 Chapter 359: 359 Mad Demon Bloodline

    Chapter 359: Chapter 359 Mad Demon Bloodline


    ¡°`


    As Yang Xiaotian was observing Tian Hongji, Xi Yuandong, and others on the chairman¡¯s tform, a voice filled with murderous intent rose from behind him: ¡°Kid, it¡¯s you!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked back and was astounded to see it was Tian Renye, the son of the General of the Sky Demon n whom he had bombarded yesterday!


    Besides Tian Renye, there was also the Hai Family Young Master who got bombarded by him yesterday, as well as He Fang, the son of the Great Elder of the Three-Eyed River n.


    All of those who were bombarded by him yesterday were present.


    However, judging by their bent postures, it was evident that their stomachs had not yet recovered.


    Seeing that they looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to devour his flesh, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression was calm: ¡°Have everyone¡¯s stomachs healed?¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian mention their stomachs as soon as he opened his mouth, whether it was Tian Renye, the Hai n Young Master, or He Fang, they all became furiously enraged, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death, kid! You even dare toe to the Sky Demon Arena. Today, I must dig out all your internal organs!¡± Tian Renye roared in fury.


    His father was the General of the Sky Demon n,manding an army of a million, and to think that he, as the son of the General of the Sky Demon n, was bombarded by a member of the Human Racest night!<div>


    This was the utmost disgrace in his life.


    ¡°Rip this kid apart!¡± Tian Renye bellowed, and with a wave of his hand, his bodyguards behind him all surged towards Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Kill him!¡± the Hai n Young Master angrily pointed at Yang Xiaotian, and a group of elite warriors from the Hai n all converged on Yang Xiaotian.


    Meanwhile, He Fang also yelled at the elite warriors of the Three-Eyed River n behind him: ¡°st this kid¡¯s stomach wide open!¡±


    Instantly, elite warriors from the Sky Demon n, the Hai n, and the Three-Eyed River n, numbering in the hundreds, allunched an attack on Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    But the Demon Ape didn¡¯t even bother to look, as his hand, covered in ck hair, erged by hundreds of times, and with a casual wave, a wild ck wave swept through.


    Where it passed, the army of the Sky Demon n, the Hai n, and the elite warriors of the Three-Eyed River n were all thrown into the air.


    Screams filled the air.


    On the tform, the Elf Great Prince Xi Luo was originally about to make a move and experience the power of Tian Wanqing¡¯s Mad Demon Bloodline, when he suddenly heard a series of screams below the arena. He couldn¡¯t help but look in astonishment and saw the arena below, which was packed to the brim, had descended into chaos.


    Then, he saw the pale blue figure he could never forget.


    That figure was standing amid the chaos below the tform, steadfast like a mountain, unwavering, just as he had been when facing the army of the Elf n, standing firm.


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Xi Luo, seeing the figure that haunted his dreams, felt his heart tremble and his face drastically changed.


    Since the battle at the Dwarf Tribe, this figure had be his greatest obsession.


    Tian Wanqing saw Xi Luo¡¯s face changing dramatically and felt curious, so she followed Xi Luo¡¯s gaze toward the tumultuous crowd and her eyes alsonded on the pale blue figure.


    When she saw that the figure was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy from the Human Race, she was even more puzzled.


    At this moment, the chaos below also captured the attention of Tian Hongji, Xi Yuandong, and others on the chairman¡¯s tform.


    Xi Mo, sitting beside Xi Yuandong, casually nced at the chaos below the tform. However, this casual nce caused hisplexion to undergo a drastic change as well; he too saw Yang Xiaotian, and the Iceme Qilins next to him.


    ¡°It¡¯s them!¡± Xi Mo eximed.


    ¡°Who?¡± Xi Yuandong, seeing the change in Xi Mo¡¯s expression, couldn¡¯t help but feel rmed.<div>


    ¡°The Son of Horror!¡± Xi Mo said in a hushed voice.


    ¡°What, the Son of Horror!¡± On the chairman¡¯s tform, all ancestors and n Leaders were taken aback and instantly turned to look at Yang Xiaotian.


    After the battle at the Dwarf Tribe, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy from the Human Race managed to condense a Divine Elixir, to consolidate ten Invincible Sword Hearts, and with the strength of just the second level of Martial Emperor, he could punch through to the tenth level¡ªhow terrifying!


    Because of these events, many had already started calling him the Son of Horror.<div>


    ¡°`


    About the Divine Elixir, it has always been shrouded in mystery over the past million years, so the arrival of the Terrifying Child caused all the ancestors and n leaders on the chairman¡¯s stand to bristle with anger.


    Even General of the Sky Demon n Tian Hongji was greatly shocked; he hadn¡¯t expected his daughter¡¯s challenge would attract that Terrifying Child.


    After the surprise, Xi Yuandong was staring at Yang Xiaotian with eyes full of murderous intent.


    Now that this boy hade to the Sky Demon City, this time, no matter what, they would not let him leave again.


    Sky Demon City was going to be his burial ground.


    ¡°Oh, the Terrifying Child!¡± Tian Wanqing, on the arena, brightened when she heard the youth stepping down was the Terrifying Child that had been so hotly discussed recently.


    She loved to fight, truly loved it, but unfortunately, there was no one among her peers in the Hundred n Empire that could match her. The recent emergence of the Terrifying Child had set her blood boiling.


    The main reason she had issued her challenge this time was to fight the Terrifying Child.


    Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian rose from the ground andnded on the arena.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian enter the arena, Xi Luo, who had originally been standing there, was scared to the edge of the tform.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t pay any attention to Xi Luo; turning to Tian Wanqing, he asked, ¡°If I defeat you, I can choose any treasure from the Sky Demon n Treasure Vault, right? Including that piece of Innate Divine Iron?¡±


    He didn¡¯t beat around the bush; his purpose ining here was for that piece of Innate Divine Iron.<div>


    Ten billion inferior Spirit Stones, a hundred supreme Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills¡ªfor him, they were all garbage.


    When Tian Wanqing heard that Yang Xiaotian was here for the Innate Divine Iron, she chuckled with an alluring wildness in her voice, ¡°That¡¯s right, as long as you defeat me, you can have that piece of Innate Divine Iron!¡±


    Upon hearing this, General of the Sky Demon n Tian Hongji frowned but said nothing, which was taken as silent consent.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian with a piercing gaze, very eager to see if the Divine Elixir really could be as invincible as the legends imed.


    At that moment, Tian Wanqing said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I heard you¡¯re only at the second level of the Martial Emperor, while I¡¯m at the peak of the tenth level. If I defeat you, it would not be a fair victory, so I¡¯ll fight with just one hand.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°No need, just go ahead and use your full strength.¡±


    Tian Wanqing, hearing this, wasted no more words or courtesy. Her whole body emitted waves of ck aura, and her eyes turnedpletely blood red, red like fire, like blood.


    This was the Mad Demon Bloodline, one of the most powerful bloodlines from ancient times.


    Once she activated the Mad Demon Bloodline, a violent murderous intent surged wildly from Tian Wanqing.


    She moved!


    She became a blur, throwing a punch toward Yang Xiaotian.


    The crowd had yet to react, even Xi Luo couldn¡¯t clearly see how Tian Wanqing had made her move.


    Just as Tian Wanqing¡¯s fist was about to hit Yang Xiaotian, his body became covered with Dragon Scales, and Dragon Wings that wererger than the entire arena spread out from his back.<div>


    A Dragon Might that dominated the Nine Heavens swept through heaven and earth.


    Yang Xiaotian also threw his punch.


    Boom!


    Their fists collided.


    Both Tian Wanqing and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bodies shook, and they both retreated several steps simultaneously.


    Tian Hongji and the experts of the Sky Demon n were astonished; Tian Wanqing had unleashed the power of the Mad Demon Bloodline, and they all knew the strength of her punch. Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist was able to evenly match hers.


    Keep in mind, Tian Wanqing was at the peak of the tenth level of the Martial Emperor.

 Chapter 360: 11 Sword Hearts Battle Against 4 Times the Frenzied Demon

    Chapter 360: Chapter 360: 11 Sword Hearts Battle Against 4 Times the Frenzied Demon


    Tian Wanqing, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian block her punch, was also greatly shocked, for just now Yang Xiaotian had merely stimted his True Essence Power and had not yet utilized the power of his Divine Elixir.


    ¡°Long n Technique?¡± She looked at Yang Xiaotian, whose body was covered in Dragon Scales, with surprise and doubt.


    Now Yang Xiaotian was a human-shaped True Dragon.


    What Long n Technique was this, to be so incredibly strong?


    She had just thrown a punch, and now her arm was still numb.


    ¡°Double Mad Demon!¡± Tian Wanqing shouted sweetly, her entire body engulfed in raging ck air currents, burning incessantly.


    And the bloody radiance in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.


    Her figure shed, and sheunched another punch.


    All who saw it, could tell that whether it was speed or strength, Tian Wanqing had actually doubledpared to before.


    This was the terror of the Mad Demon Bloodline, capable of burning the power of one¡¯s bloodline to enhance the attacker¡¯sbat prowess; now Tian Wanqing¡¯sbat power had doubled.


    Thebat power doubled, how astonishing that was.


    Watching Tian Wanqing¡¯s Mad Demon Bloodline power burn and herbat power double, everyone¡¯s gaze was tightly fixed on Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°This time, the Child of Horror should use the power of his Divine Elixir, right? Without the power of the Divine Elixir, he definitely won¡¯t be able to withstand the Double Mad Demon!¡±


    In the crowd, everyone was watching intently, afraid of missing any exciting moment.


    Even Tian Hongji was gripping his heart tightly.


    Everyone held their breath.


    Just then, Yang Xiaotian stillunched a punch.


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eye, suddenly, nine-colored Sword Qi burst forth from within Yang Xiaotian.


    One, two, three, four¡­


    Soon, ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts awakened.


    ¡°The Ten Great Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts awaken instantly, the crowd was shaken.


    Even Xi Mo, who had already seen Yang Xiaotian¡¯s power of the Ten Great Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, was still shocked.


    Ten Sword Hearts, how dazzling that was!


    How unique throughout the ages!


    But just as everyone was in shock, suddenly, from within Yang Xiaotian, the eleventh surge of nine-colored Sword Qi erupted.


    ¡°The eleventh one!¡± Xi Mo screamed in horror, jumping up from his seat.


    ¡°What, eleven?¡± Tian Hongji, Xi Yuandong, and the others also leapt from their seats, their faces full of astonishment.


    Tian Renye, He Fang, the Hai n Young Master, everyone on the scene wore a look of utter shock.


    Eleven!


    There were actually eleven Invincible Sword Hearts!


    In this world, wasn¡¯t the most just ten Sword Hearts?


    In the hearts of many, they believed that the most in this world was ten Sword Hearts.


    They had never even heard of there being eleven Sword Hearts in this world!


    ¡°Eleven Invincible Sword Hearts have emerged! This is simply¡­ simply!¡± Many of the old ancestors were so excited they were at a loss for words.


    Everyone present was seeing eleven Sword Hearts for the first time.


    Including Tian Hongji, Xi Yuandong.


    Because, it had been a million years since eleven Sword Hearts had appeared.


    ¡°The Child of Horror! This is the Child of Horror!¡±


    Tian Wanqing was also frightened.


    In Tian Wanqing¡¯s astonished gaze, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist erupted with the power of the Nine-Colored Sword Heart; the nine-colored Sword Qi seemed infinite, endlessly flowing, smashing Tian Wanqing¡¯s Double Mad Demon punch with an overwhelming force.


    Crack!


    Tian Wanqing felt a severe pain in her arm, as a powerful force pushed her back step after step, unstoppable even as she frantically summoned the power of her Mad Demon Bloodline.


    She kept retreating until she reached the edge of the arena.


    Wherever her feet had passed, the arena was actually cracked, leaving behind a series of long footprints.


    The crowd was shocked.


    What immense strength it must take for Tian Wanqing to crack the ground of the arena with her stomps.


    Yet, despite this, the terrifying power of the Son of Horror still sted Tian Wanqing to the edge of the arena.


    Tian Wanqing, looking at Yang Xiaotian whose Eleven Sword Hearts were erupting, had nothing but shock in her eyes. What kind of monster was he, to have cultivated Eleven Invincible Sword Hearts!


    She could not even cultivate one.


    Although her Martial Dao talent was strong, her Sword Dao wascking, as she was obsessed with the Fist Dao.


    ¡°Eleven Invincible Sword Hearts!¡± After her initial shock, Tian Wanqing¡¯s fighting spirit zed even higher, and the Mad Demon Bloodline within her body burned wildly. Her robes fluttered without wind, and she floated into the air, a more astonishing bloodline power surging from within.


    ¡°Fourfold Mad Demon!¡± Tian Wanqing¡¯s voice echoed across the skies of Sky Demon City, and then, like a falling ck meteor, she crashed down fiercely towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Fourfold Mad Demon!


    This was the strongest Mad Demon Power that Tian Wanqing could summon at the moment.


    It was also the strongest power she could unleash currently.


    When she threw a punch from high above, the force was so powerful that it caused a roaring st of spatial air waves.


    The entire arena couldn¡¯t withstand her power and began to crumble inch by inch.


    Even the ground around it started to crack.


    Strong warriors around the arena were all startled and retreated.


    At the same moment Tian Wanqingunched her punch, everyone felt an invisible force.


    This invisible force, whenbined with her Fourfold Mad Demon Power, made Tian Wanqing¡¯s fist even more terrifying.


    ¡°This is the Martial Dao True Meaning!¡±


    ¡°The Sky Demon Princess has actually grasped the power of Martial Dao¡¯s True Meaning!¡±


    Many elders eximed in astonishment.


    The realm of martial arts is divided into the stages: Entry, Minor Aplishment, Great Aplishment, Perfection, and Summit Mastery!


    Now, Yang Xiaotian had cultivated many Supreme Divine Powers to the level of Summit Mastery and then condensed a Divine Elixir.


    But above Summit Mastery lies the Martial Dao¡¯s True Meaning.


    If it is the Fist Dao that is being cultivated, then it is Fist Intent!


    If one cultivates Sword Dao, it bes Sword Intent!


    Generally, it is rare toprehend Martial Dao¡¯s True Meaning at the Martial Emperor Realm, and absolutely monstrous in the Martial Venerable Realm.


    Yet now, Sky Demon Princess Tian Wanqing, only at the peak of the Emperor Realm, had alreadyprehended the Martial Dao¡¯s True Meaning, which was absolutely terrifying.


    Once a Divine Skill culminates in the Martial Dao¡¯s True Meaning, the terror of its attack power is iparable to Summit Mastery.


    ¡°Martial Dao¡¯s True Meaning, huh?¡± Yang Xiaotian watched Tian Wanqing as she fell from the sky, his expression calm.


    In the instant before Tian Wanqing¡¯s fist couldnd on Yang Xiaotian, golden light burst forth from his body, a strong radiance illuminating space after space around the arena.


    A Golden Core, like a miniature sun, flew out.


    As the Golden Core emerged, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.


    A force as if from the heavens, from ancient times, descended upon the world.


    In every corner of Sky Demon City, all the strong felt this power as if it came from the heavens and the ancient past.


    Under the cover of this force, everyone found it difficult to breathe.


    ¡°Divine Elixir!¡±


    Tian Wanqing, gazing at the rising Divine Elixir, was spellbound.


    At the moment of her distraction, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch.


    Unleashing the Invincible Clone, multiple Yang Xiaotians struck out with simultaneous punches.


    The power of the Divine Elixirbined with the power of Eleven Sword Hearts erupted wildly, and a fierce ck cold energy soared into the sky.


    This ck cold energy was terrifyingly dark, so dark it made one¡¯s heart tremble; it seemed to have the power to seal all forces in the world with ice.


    This was indeed the ck Cold Ice Force of the Supreme King, the ck Tortoise Martial Soul.


    Bang!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch collided with the opposing punch.

 Chapter 361: Xi Yuandong, Like a Dog That Has Lost Its Home

    Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Xi Yuandong, Like a Dog That Has Lost Its Home


    Tian Wanqing only felt a force more terrifying than before bombarding her.


    Her whole body violently shook.


    The fourfold Mad Demon Power burst.


    Even with the Martial Dao True Meaning blessing her, it also burst.


    Then, like a rocket, she was sted into the high sky.


    Tian Wanqing¡¯s figure grew smaller and smaller.


    Only after reaching a sufficient height did Tian Wanqing fall from the sky.


    With a thunderous roar,


    a building in Sky Demon City was seen being pierced through, turning into dust.


    The ground trembled.


    A human-shaped deep crater appeared.


    The crowd was shocked.


    Tian Wanqing, who had even unleashed her Martial Dao True Meaning, along with the fourfold Mad Demon Power, had still lost!


    She waspletely blown away.


    The crowd, looking at Yang Xiaotian on the stage covered in the Nine-Colored Sword Aura and looking at that Golden Core shining like the golden sun, were utterly astonished.


    Whether it was the Divine Elixir or the eleven Sword Hearts, both were unique in their own right, the only ones on the Azure God Continent.


    Tian Hongji took a deep breath, his eyes shing with a streak of green light, which was none other than the ancient Green Sea Eyes, said to see through everything¡¯s essence.


    However, just as he was using Green Sea Eyes, intending to prate the secrets within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, suddenly, two terrifying forces, so chilling to his soul, recoiled his Green Sea Eyes back at him.


    Tian Hongji¡¯splexion changed drastically.


    What exactly were those two forces within this youth¡¯s body that even his Green Sea Eyes could not probe into!


    And those two forces seemed to originate from ancient times!


    How can his body contain powers from antiquity?


    Yang Xiaotian stood on the stage, looking at Tian Hongji, ¡°Are you the General of the Sky Demon n Leader? Since I have already won against the Sky Demon Princess, I would trouble you to take me to the Sky Demon treasury to select the Innate Divine Iron.¡±


    Tian Hongji had yet to speak when Xi Yuandong, the Elf Queen, let out a coldugh, ¡°Choose Innate Divine Iron? Boy, you should first think about whether you can leave this ce alive.¡±


    As she spoke, she walked toward Yang Xiaotian, her momentum fully unleashed, with tworge wings spread behind her, the very Elf Wings.


    The stronger the bloodline of the Elf n, the more dazzling and colorful the Elf Wings.


    The Elf Wings of Xi Yuandong were golden, with other colors interwoven among the gold.


    As Xi Yuandong approached Yang Xiaotian, Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and other Elf n powerhouses also walked toward Yang Xiaotian.


    All the Elf n powerhouses present flooded toward Yang Xiaotian and hispanions, surrounding them imprably.


    The others, seeing the situation, were so frightened that they quickly retreated.


    Xi Yuandong stepped out from the presidential tform, floating in mid-air, coldly watching Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Boy, if it weren¡¯t for you, my Elf n wouldn¡¯t have lost so many troops!¡±


    ¡°Even if you died a hundred times, it wouldn¡¯t be too much!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression was unchanged, ¡°Do you truly think you can kill me?¡±


    Xi Yuandong burst into a delicateugh upon hearing this, ¡°I know you have two God Beasts of Divine Spirit Realm by your side, but they are merely at the first level of the Divine Spirit. Should I decide to kill you, such low-level Beast Gods, how could they possibly stop me!¡±


    With that, the Elf Sword appeared in Xi Yuandong¡¯s hand, as she suddenly thrust it toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Under the infusion of her Divine Spirit power, the Sword Qi of the Elf Sword burst forth violently.


    The Elf Queen turned out to be at the third level of the Divine Spirit Realm! And not just at the threshold, but at the early peak of the third level.


    It was precisely because of this that she was confident about killing Yang Xiaotian.


    This time, no matter what, she could not allow Yang Xiaotian to escape from Sky Demon City.


    She knew that with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s horrific talent, once he escaped from Sky Demon City and grew stronger, he would certainly be the nightmare of the Elf n.


    Just as Xi Yuandong made her move, Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and four other Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses also made their moves.


    Apart from Xi Yuandong, the Elf n also brought four experts from the Divine Spirit Realm; the rest were from the Saint Realm, the Emperor Realm, and members of the imperial family like Xi Luo.


    With Xi Yuandong and the other five Divine Spirits attacking together, joined by hundreds from the Saint Realm, the power that could destroy heaven and earth changed everyone¡¯splexion drastically.


    Many ancestors quickly pulled their disciples and rushed to take cover.


    Just as Xi Yuandong¡¯s Sword Qi was about to reduce Yang Xiaotian to dust, suddenly a roar that shook heaven and earth erupted.


    The beastly roar swept across like a tidal wave.


    Countless experts were sent flying or knocked unconscious.


    Amidst the earth-shattering roars, the Demonic Qi around the Demon Ape near Yang Xiaotian surged and swelled in an instant, transforming into a colossal ck Giant Ape that seemed to support heaven and earth.


    Darkness descended upon heaven and earth.


    The Demon Ape viciously mmed down with one palm.


    Xi Yuandong, sensing the terrifying force of the ape¡¯s palm descending like a mountain, turned pale with horror and frantically fled backward, simultaneously striking the Elf Sword into the sky.


    Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and all the Elf n¡¯s experts were terrified and retreated, whileunching attacks into the sky.


    But it was useless.


    The attacks of Xi Yuandong and the others hit the massive ape¡¯s palm only to seem as if they struck Divine Iron that was indestructible; the ape¡¯s palm waspletely unharmed.


    Boom!


    The palm of the ape thunderously crashed onto the ground.


    Sky Demon City jerked violently as if it had been struck by a ruinous blow.


    Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and the other five from the Divine Spirit Realm were all sent flying by the aftershocks of the palm strike, and other Elves who couldn¡¯t dodge in time were squashed like tomatoes.


    Hundreds of streams of blood sprayed out, staining the surrounding ground red.


    The crowd looked on to see that the entire arena had disappeared, and within a kilometer radius centered on the arena, there was now a giant crater formed by the ape¡¯s palm.


    The powerful individuals from various races turned pale with fear.


    A surge of heat in Xi Yuandong¡¯s throat was followed by a gush of blood; she looked in horror at the sky-supporting Demon Ape, then at the terrifying wound on the ape¡¯s chest, and cried out in disbelief, ¡°Heartfelt Demon Ape! Are you the one from Demon Ape Ridge?!¡±


    The one from Demon Ape Ridge!


    As soon as everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.


    It wasmon knowledge that Demon Ape Ridge suppressed a Demon Ape of immense ferocity, and everyone knew that not even the Heavenly Dragon Sword God could kill it.


    Who was the Heavenly Dragon Sword God? He was the greatest expert in the Hundred n Empire for ten thousand years!


    If not even the Heavenly Dragon Sword God could kill it, one could imagine the terror of this Demon Ape.


    And now, this Demon Ape had appeared!


    Moreover, it had be the Mount Beast of the child of terror!


    ¡°Run!¡± The moment Xi Yuandong recognized the Heartfelt Demon Ape, she screamed in rm, not daring to linger in battle.


    ¡°Want to escape?¡± The Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s murderous intent spread far and wide, as two iron chains, each ten thousand feet long, appeared in its hands and with a viciousshing, chased after Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo.


    Xi Yuandong roared in anger and desperation, swinging the Elf Sword wildly.


    With the motivation of Sword Intent, the Elf Sword emitted myriads of Sword Qi, shing at the chains.


    Brilliant shes of cold light burst forth.


    But it was no use, the chains remained intact, their momentum unstoppable.


    Watching the iron chainse straight for her, Xi Yuandong, filled with terror, attempted to flee in panic.


    Crack!


    She was half a step too slow and was struck by the tail end of the chain, sent flying like a shooting star, crashing through building after building in Sky Demon City.


    Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and the others were also simultaneously swept away by the other chain, sent careening through the air.


    Countless buildings in Sky Demon City were destroyed and copsed.


    Suddenly, from the ruins, a figure shot towards the sky, frantically flying out of Sky Demon City; it was the injured Xi Yuandong.

 Chapter 362: 362 Soul Ring Evolution

    Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Soul Ring Evolution


    The others who were struck by the iron chains and had not died yet, including Xi Mo and the Hai Family Patriarch, also burst from the ruins and fled in panic, like dogs that had lost their homes.


    Upon realizing that this Demon Ape was the one from Demon Ape Ridge, they were utterly terrified.


    The Hai Family Patriarch, in particr, disregarded his already shattered armor and ran away naked and crazed.


    Everyone watched, dumbfounded.


    They had seen Divine Spirit Powerhouses, but today was the first time they had seen a Divine Spirit Powerhouse fleeing naked.


    Seeing that Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others were trying to escape, the Heartfelt Demon Ape roared again, swinging the tens of thousands of feet long iron chains in its hands.


    The two massive iron chains shot out like meteors.


    Xi Yuandong, hearing the whistling sound behind her, turned her head and saw the iron chains soaring toward her like shooting stars, her face turning pale with fright.


    ¡°Light of Life!¡± Xi Yuandong bellowed, green glows emerging from her body one after another, formingyers of life defense shields.


    At the same time, she swung her Elf Sword again.<div>


    This time, she even unleashed the Elf n¡¯s forbidden techniques, her body exuding an aura as red as blood, with her Elf Sword shining like a green sun, ejecting a formidable Sword Qi.


    Waves of Sword Qi furiously bombarded the iing iron chains.


    But it was to no avail, as the iron chains smashed through the Sword Qi with unstoppable force, striking the life defense shields.


    Spurt!


    Xi Yuandong was once again sent flying.


    She crashed out of Sky Demon City.


    And broke through the mountains beyond Sky Demon City.


    Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, and dozens of others were also struck by the iron chains and sent flying again.


    The Saint Realm ancestors were directly blown to pieces, turning into a mist of blood.


    Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the five heads of the Hai Family vomited blood and fled once more.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape frowned, about to give chase when Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°Forget it, there¡¯s no need to chase.¡±


    If Xi Yuandong and the others scattered and fled, it would be difficult for the Heartfelt Demon Ape to pursue. Moreover, the Heartfelt Demon Ape had been injured by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God and had not yet recovered.


    Yang Xiaotian looked towards a distant corner, where he saw the Elf Great Prince, Xi Luo, trembling, looking at Yang Xiaotian with absolute terror.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor reached out with one hand and pulled Xi Luo in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    Xi Luo, looking at Yang Xiaotian and the Heartfelt Demon Ape before him, copsed in fear, crying out, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me!¡±


    In Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, the Burying Heaven Sword appeared, ¡°You should have said that to your grandmother.¡± Finishing his sentence, he swung the Burying Heaven Sword, which sliced directly across Xi Luo¡¯s neck.


    Xi Luo¡¯s head rolled off.


    His eyes were wide open as he died.


    He probably couldn¡¯t believe to his veryst breath that this trip to Sky Demon City would be his journey to death.<div>


    Before he came, he had fantasied about defeating Tian Wanqing and obtaining the Innate Divine Iron from the Sky Demon n, and then restoring the Elf n¡¯s Life Sword.


    But now, Sky Demon City had be his burial ground.


    Watching the Elf Prince Xi Luo¡¯s head being chopped off by Yang Xiaotian, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.


    Xi Luo, acimed as the most talented Martial Dao disciple of the Elf n in ten thousand years, even a peerless artifact refining genius who had discerned the secret technique of refining without a cauldron furnace, nowy dead before them.<div>


    Tian Renye and He Fang of the Sky Demon n and Three-Eyed River n were terrified out of their wits. They curled up in some secret corner, not daring to utter a sound, not even daring to let out a fart, forcibly holding it in.


    Yang Xiaotian withdrew his gaze from the heads of the Xi Luo people and looked towards Tian Hongji, the General of the Sky Demon n Leader, ¡°I would like to ask General Tian to take me to the Sky Demon n¡¯s Treasure Vault to select the Innate Divine Iron.¡±


    Originally, when Yang Xiaotian had just defeated Tian Wanqing, Tian Hongji had wanted to make an excuse that the Innate Divine Iron was not in the Sky Demon n¡¯s Treasure Vault, but now he didn¡¯t dare to say a word against it and hastily said, ¡°Young Master, please follow me.¡±


    Then, with utmost respect, he led Yang Xiaotian and a few others to the Sky Demon n¡¯s Treasure Vault, opened the doors of the vault, and let Yang Xiaotian inside to make his selection.


    Following Yang Xiaotian into the Sky Demon n¡¯s Treasure Vault, Tian Hongji was nervously on edge. However, seeing that Yang Xiaotian only selected that piece of Innate Divine Iron beforeing out, Tian Hongji finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    That piece of Innate Divine Iron was roughly the same size as the one from the Dwarf n.


    Having obtained the Innate Divine Iron, Yang Xiaotian did not linger and nned to leave Sky Demon City immediately.


    Upon his departure, Tian Hongji duly presented Yang Xiaotian with the rest of the ten billion lower-grade Spirit Stones and one hundred extreme-quality Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pills as promised.


    Yang Xiaotian then gave all of the ten billion lower-grade Spirit Stones to the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, dering that they would be used for buying drinks in the future.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian toss the ten billion lower-grade Spirit Stones to his subordinate, saying they were to be used for buying drinks in the future, left Tian Hongji dumbfounded for a long time.


    Under the reverent escort of Tian Hongji and numerous masters of the Sky Demon n, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions left Sky Demon City.


    The battle at Sky Demon City spread quickly.


    Nearly all of the thousands of Elf n experts were killed or injured, with even the Elf Great Prince Xi Luo beheaded, leaving only Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo, among the five Divine Spirits, to escape.<div>


    The various ns of the Hundred n Empire were shocked.


    Night fell.


    In a deste mountain, Yang Xiaotian took out the Sword of Azure God and controlled the two great Divine mes to melt the Innate Divine Iron he had obtained that day into the Sword of Azure God.


    The cracks in the body of the Sword of Azure God were once again repaired.


    Looking at thest crack on the body of the Sword of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian turned his gaze toward the direction of the Eternal Burial Ground. Now, only the piece of Innate Divine Iron from the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was needed topletely repair the Sword of Azure God.


    He only needed to wait for the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged for cultivation, with his two Supreme King Martial Souls floating in the sky above, as the radiance from the Abyssal Master¡¯s Soul Ring and the Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring surged, engulfing Heaven and Earth with the aura of ancient gods.


    Under the enveloping aura of the two ancient Soul Beasts, the Heartfelt Demon Ape and the others were extremely unnerved.


    He cultivated through the night.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian asked the Heartfelt Demon Ape and the others, including the Iceme Qilin, if there was any way to evolve and breakthrough the Soul Rings.


    After all, his Abyssal Master Soul Ring was close to two million years, and if it evolved to two million years, its power would be absolutely stronger.


    He remembered that initially, Wei Zongyuan¡¯s Soul Ring had evolved from ny-nine thousand years to one hundred thousand years.


    ¡°It¡¯s extremely difficult to evolve and breakthrough a Soul Ring!¡± said the Heartfelt Demon Ape, shaking its head. ¡°In a sense, the Soul Ring is part of the cultivator¡¯s body.¡±<div>


    ¡°When cultivators practice and breakthrough realms, their bodies be stronger; flesh, internal organs, and even souls are enhanced.¡±


    ¡°The Soul Ring will also be enhanced.¡±


    ¡°However, it¡¯s merely an enhancement. To actually make a Soul Ring evolve and breakthrough, the chance is extremely slim, almost negligible.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°I had an opponent before, whose Soul Ring evolved from ny-nine thousand years to one hundred thousand years.¡±


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape nodded, ¡°In ancient times, there was indeed a secret technique that could allow a Soul Ring to evolve, but it¡¯s extremely dangerous, akin to a life-and-death situation. It requires external force to shatter the Soul Ring, and then to repair it again.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian immediately gave up on the idea. Both of his Soul Rings were one-million-year Soul Rings, and even if he wanted to use external force to shatter them, there was no one capable of breaking his two great Soul Rings.


    ¡°However, generally speaking, when breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm, there is a hope for the Soul Ring to evolve and breakthrough,¡± added the Heartfelt Demon Ape.

    Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Three ns Join Forces?


    ¡°Break through the Divine Spirit Realm?¡± Yang Xiaotian gave a bitter smile.


    He was only a Martial Emperor now.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape also knew that Yang Xiaotian wanted to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm; it was a very long process. It chuckled dryly and said, ¡°Actually, with the young master¡¯s terrifying talent, it¡¯s possible that the Soul Ring could evolve when you break through to the Saint Realm.¡±


    ¡°Break through to the Saint Realm!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°Yes, but before you break through to the Saint Realm, you must condense fourteen of the strongest Heavenly Fates,¡± the Heartfelt Demon Ape said earnestly. ¡°Moreover, young master, whether you are at the Martial Emperor Realm or the Martial Venerable Realm, you need toy the most profound and heaven-defying foundation to have a hope of evolving the Soul Ring!¡±


    The Martial Emperor Realm, the Martial Venerable Realm, requiredying the most profound and heaven-defying foundation?


    The Martial Emperor Realm primarily cultivates qi and blood.


    The stronger a martial artist¡¯s corporeal qi and blood, the more vibrant their life force, and the higher their lifespan.


    As for the Martial Venerable Realm, it¡¯s about cultivating orifices.


    A martial artist¡¯s body has a total of one thousand two hundred ny-six orifices. Legend has it that if one could open up all the orifices of the body, they could even achieve sanctification of the flesh and attain an Immortal Body.<div>


    ¡°In the Martial Emperor Realm, some genius martial artists can cultivate their qi and blood to an external release level!¡± the Heartfelt Demon Ape said. ¡°However, that level of external release is only considered ordinary.¡±


    ¡°If the qi and blood can transform into a beacon of war smoke, that would be considered stunning.¡±


    ¡°Qi and blood like a rainbow is seen once in a hundred years.¡±


    ¡°But even that is not profound. If qi and blood could transform into a Blood Sea a hundred miles wide, that would be a rarity seen once in ten thousand years.¡±


    As the Heartfelt Demon Ape said this, Yang Xiaotian stimted his own qi and blood. Instantly, his surging qi and blood soared up from within him, solidifying into a huge pir that reached straight into the sky.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape stared at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s qi and blood, which was like a pir reaching the heavens, and was stunned.


    The Iceme Qilin trio were also shocked.


    They hadn¡¯t expected that Yang Xiaotian, at the mere third level of Martial Emperor, would possess such strong qi and blood.


    ¡°Old Ape, how do you see my qi and blood?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the Heartfelt Demon Ape.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape swallowed and after a long time said, ¡°Terrifying!¡±


    Not profound, not heaven-defying, but terrifying!


    So terrifying was the qi and blood, it revealed how fearsome Yang Xiaotian¡¯s corporeal body must be.


    The ape couldn¡¯t figure out how its young master had cultivated such a fearsome body.


    The Primordial Dragon Art was the top-level cultivation technique of the Ancient Dragon n. Over the years, Yang Xiaotian had been persistently working hard on it, and he had also been steadfastly consuming Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water every day to cultivate. Without exaggeration, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s corporeal body was already stronger than the Ancient Dragon n warriors of the same realm.


    ¡°However, it is said that when the Lord of Azure God was breaking through to the Martial Venerable Realm, his qi and blood could condense into a Blood Sea ten thousand miles wide!¡± the Heartfelt Demon Ape said.


    Yang Xiaotian was astounded, ¡°A radius of ten thousand miles?¡±


    Although his qi and blood were terrifying now, it was simply impossible for him to condense it into a Blood Sea with a radius of ten thousand miles!


    ¡°Correct, a radius of ten thousand miles!¡± the Heartfelt Demon Ape said with an admiring face, ¡°On the Azure God Continent, throughout the ages, only the esteemed Lord of Azure God has reached such a realm.¡±


    A radius of ten thousand miles?<div>


    Yang Xiaotian tried to condense his qi and blood into a sea.


    Instantly, his rolling qi and blood spread across the sky and formed a Blood Sea with a radius of a thousand miles around his body.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape and the Iceme Qilin trio watched with stunned faces.


    To know, throughout the ages, the number of Martial Emperors whose qi and blood could reach a radius of a thousand miles could be counted on one¡¯s fingers.<div>


    Yet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brow furrowed.


    With his current speed of cultivation, even if he were to cultivate to the peak of the tenth level of the Martial Emperor, his qi and blood would hardly reach the extent of ten thousand li.


    Even if he were to consume sixyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water every day for cultivation, it would still be impossible.


    It¡¯s unknown how the Lord of Azure God managed to cultivate to the extent of ten thousand li in the past.


    ¡°Aside from the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, is there anything else that can temper the body and improve qi and blood?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the few people around him.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape thought for a moment, then said, ¡°The Elf n does have something that can temper the body and improve qi and blood.¡±


    The Elf n!


    ¡°Are you referring to the Life God Tree, old ape?¡± Yang Xiaotian blurted out.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± said the Heartfelt Demon Ape. ¡°The Life Force of the Life God Tree can temper the body, improve qi and blood, and strengthen vitality. If the young master could cultivate under the Life God Tree while consuming Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the effect would double!¡±


    ¡°However, not everyone can cultivate their qi and blood to the extent of ten thousand li, even with the help of the Life God Tree and treasures like the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    ¡°Back in the day, the Lord of Azure God possessed the innate Thunder Prison Divine Body, which is why he could cultivate his qi and blood to ten thousand li within the realm of the Martial Emperor.¡±


    The Thunder Prison Divine Body is one of the most top-notch divine bodies in the world.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.<div>


    The Thunder Prison Divine Body, huh?


    He cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art and possessed the Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body, which was stronger than even the most top-notch divine bodies in the world.


    ¡°Old Ape, if we go to the Elf n City now, are you confident?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape pondered and said, ¡°The Elf n is protected by the Elf Grand Array. It¡¯s not an easy task to break through, but once my injuries are healed, it will be no problem at all.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was relieved. Given the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s current rate of injury recovery, consuming a dose of sixyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and one Heavenly Life-Extending Pill each day, it would be fully healed in half a month.


    ¡°We¡¯re heading to the Elf n City now!¡± Yang Xiaotian stood up and dered.


    The Elf n City was not close from here; by the time they would reach the Elf n City, the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s injuries should be almost healed.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and the others set off toward the Elf n City.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and his party were heading to the Elf n City, the Elf Queen Xi Yuandong and her fivepanions finally managed to escape back to the Elf n¡¯s territory.


    After returning to the Elf n¡¯s territory, Xi Yuandong thought of the disgraceful scene with the Sky Demon n, thought of her grandson Xi Luo and the numerous high-ranking members of the Elf n who died tragically, her anger surged, burning with a vengeful fury.


    ¡°Back then, the Heartfelt Demon Ape killed the Ancient Ancestor of the Charm n. The Charm n harbored a deep hatred for the Heartfelt Demon Ape. Contact the n Leader of the Charm n for me; I want to join forces with the Charm n to eliminate the Heartfelt Demon Ape!¡± Xi Yuandong said through gritted teeth.


    ¡°Also, contact the n Leader of the Giant n. The old n Leader of the Giant n also died from injuries inflicted by the Heartfelt Demon Ape, and the Giant n certainly cannot wait to devour his flesh and blood!¡±


    Upon saying this, Xi Yuandong¡¯s murderous intent surged, ¡°I refuse to believe that our Elf n, Charm n, and Giant n, united, still can¡¯t kill that demon ape!¡±<div>


    Xi Mo, the Patriarch of the Hai Family, and several others respectfullyplied with her orders, and followed Xi Yuandong¡¯smand to contact the n Leader of the Charm n and the Giant n.


    Dawn was breaking.


    As Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were on their way to the Elf n City, they heard some bad news. The Undying Wraiths had broken out of Demon Ape Ridge and began attacking the cities surrounding the Red Fire Country.


    Hearing the news, Yang Xiaotian felt a heavy burden.


    Any creature that is bitten by the Undying Wraiths will be invaded by the Undying Death Qi and will turn into an Undying Wraith as well. These Undying Wraiths crave fresh flesh,ck any reason, and are very difficult to kill. Wherever they go, death follows.


    The thing he feared had still happened.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Red Fire Country first!¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered and then decided.


    Since the Red Fire Country wasn¡¯t far from their current location, they were not in a rush to reach the Elf n City.

 Chapter 364: Elf King City

    Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Elf King City


    So, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions hurriedly flew towards the Red Fire Ancient Kingdom.


    A dayter, the group arrived at the border of the Red Fire Ancient Kingdom.


    As they entered the border city of the Red Fire territory, they saw nothing but ruins and broken walls, blood and dismembered limbs everywhere; the entire city was devoid of life.


    In the space around them, a strong aura of death lingered.


    ¡°This city haspletely turned into a dead city!¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said gravely.


    The Demon Ape, Iceme Kylin, and Azure Thunder Python all felt a heavy weight in their hearts.


    A dead city meant that all the people of the city had been killed by the Undying Wraiths and had then all turned into Undying Wraiths themselves.


    The spread of these Undying Wraiths to the surrounding cities was a severe concern.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Yang Xiaotian headed off flying in the forward direction.


    After flying for a while, he spotted a Death Spirit.


    Yang Xiaotian threw a punch, transforming his fist into a dragon, which sent the Death Spirit flying away.


    But the Death Spirit was merely flung away and, after a pause, rose to its feet again.


    ¡°These Undying Wraiths are very hard to kill. Once their bodies are invaded by the Undying Death Qi, their entire bodies are tempered by the Qi, making them impervious to destruction; it¡¯s very hard to shatter them,¡± said the Demon Ape. ¡°To kill it, you must decapitate it.¡±


    ¡°But ordinary Divine Weapons can¡¯t even behead them.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch, now, could shatter a mountain, yet it could not crush a Death Spirit, which showed the sturdiness of the bones of these spirits, and hence, ordinary Divine Weapons could not behead them.


    Not to mention Innate Spirit Instruments, many treasured artifacts and even Imperial Artifacts likely couldn¡¯t breach their defenses.


    Yang Xiaotian drew the Burying Heaven Sword and decapitated the Death Spirit before him with one sh.


    Looking at the severed head of the Death Spirit before him, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mood grew even heavier.


    If he did not have the Burying Heaven Sword, these Heavenly Sword Divine Swords, killing these Death Spirits would be difficult, not to mention for the ordinary Martial Emperors.


    Yang Xiaotian continued to fly onward.


    Whenever he encountered a Death Spirit, Yang Xiaotian would directly behead it with a single sword sh.


    As he advanced, the number of Death Spirits increased.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and hispanions struck out, directly exploding these Death Spirits.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at another city, he saw that within the whole city, there were only Death Spirits as far as the eye could see!


    These Death Spirits, emitting a foul stench from their bodies and an overwhelming aura of death, formed terrifying clouds of Death Spirits in the high sky. The wailing sound from the mouths of a million Death Spirits could be heard for miles, sending chills down one¡¯s spine.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Gazing at the endless horde of Death Spirits, Yang Xiaotian shouted fiercely, powering up eleven Sword Heart forces, his Sword Qi sweeping across all directions, cutting swathes through them.


    In an instant, swathes of Death Spirits were knocked flying.


    The Demon Ape pped down with a palm strike, like the weight of a mountain crushing down.


    The Iceme Kylin, Azure Thunder Python, and Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor attacked at the same time.


    Suddenly, a massive tremor shook the heavens.


    Under the world-shattering power of the four, the entire city was pulverized to dust.


    The destructive power of the four continued to sweep across unstoppable.


    The earth trembled for miles on end.


    Dust and sand billowed.


    Like a terrifying dust storm, it continued unceasingly.


    Witnessing the destructive power of the Demon Ape and the others, Yang Xiaotian was shocked. This was the power that peerless experts should possess.


    When would he ever have such peerless power?


    Seeing the expression on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face, the Demon Ape said, ¡°Young Master need not envy us. With your talent, it¡¯s possible that in a few decades you¡¯ll break through to the Divine Spirit Realm.¡±


    Decades?


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath; even decades were too long.


    He had to find a way to continuously increase the speed of his cultivation.


    ¡°However, although we can kill these Death Spirits, we are unable to eradicate this Undying Death Qi,¡± the Iceme Kylin sighed.


    Yang Xiaotian looked up to see that the cloud of Undying Death Qi hanging over the city of the dead had not dissipated.


    Even the destructive powers of the four Demon Apes from just before were unable to destroy the Undying Death Qi.


    ¡°These Death Spirits are weak, which is why we could kill them so easily. If Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits appeared, even we wouldn¡¯t be able to kill them!¡± the Demon Ape said with a grave face.


    If a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse were to be invaded by the Undying Death Qi, they would be a Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirit.


    A Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirit would be terrifyingly formidable.


    They would be impossible to kill within the same realm.


    ¡°If a Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirit appears, then we would be in real trouble,¡± the Azure Thunder Python also said with a serious expression.


    ¡°By now, the Azure God Mansion should have heard about the emergence of the Undying Death Qi. I wonder when their army will be able to rush to the Hundred n Empire,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said.


    The Hundred n Empire was on the edge of the Azure God Continent, and the Azure God Mansion was too far away. Even if its army set out on flying ships, it would take more than a day or two to arrive.


    ¡°This time, Lord Azure Bear should take action, right?¡± the Iceme Kylin remarked, eyes gleaming with excitement.


    ¡°With the emergence of the Undying Death Qi, Lord Azure Bear will definitely take action! When Lord Azure Bear descends upon Demon Ape Ridge, it will surely be a war that ends the world!¡± the Demon Ape said excitedly as well.


    Lord Azure Bear taking action was a rarely-seen event; witnessing Lord Azure Bear in action was undoubtedly thrilling for the Demon Ape and others.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian and the others flew towards the next city.


    The next city was still overrun with Death Spirits.


    The four Demon Apes once again took action, directly sting the entire city into dust.


    After destroying more than a dozen cities in a row, they finally arrived at the fifteenth city. Outside the fifteenth city, Death Spirits were everywhere.


    The Death Spirits swarmed around the city like a tide, sealing it offpletely.


    The city gates were tightly closed, and the Human Race Defenders on the city walls were stricken with panic.


    Seeing that this city had not been breached, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart rxed a little.


    Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor promptly mmed his palm down, exploding all the Death Spirits outside the city.


    Yang Xiaotian and a few othersnded on top of the city wall.


    He saw that there were only a handful of soldiers on the wall, mostly remnants and veterans.


    Yang Xiaotian frowned at this sight. After seizing the captain of the guards for questioning, he learned that the City Lord had long since fled, taking almost all the city¡¯s troops with him and leaving behind just a few remnants and old soldiers to defend the city.


    Due to the encirclement by Death Spirits, tens of thousands of civilians were unable to escape from the city.


    Learning that the City Lord had fled without concern for the lives of tens of thousands of civilians, anger red up in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not just our City Lord. I¡¯ve heard that even His Majesty the King of Red Fire Country has already fled with his wives, daughters, and troops, heading to the Human Emperor City!¡± the captain of the guards cried out.


    The Human Emperor was indeed the sovereign of the Human Race within the Hundred n Empire.


    ¡°Has the Human Emperor not sent troops to Red Fire Country to exterminate the Death Spirits?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked gravely.


    ¡°No!¡± the captain of the guards shook his head, his voice filled with sorrow. ¡°The Human Emperor doesn¡¯t care about our life or death, and won¡¯t care at all. I heard that a while ago, the Elf Queen was grievously wounded by a Human Race powerhouse, and in her fury, she pped the Human Emperor half to death.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened.


    It was that Elf Queen Xi Yuandong again!


    ¡°To the Elf King City!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes zed with fire and he immediately soared into the sky, speeding towards the Elf King City with the Demon Apes.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was flying towards the Elf King City, suddenly, a colossal Bone Mountain flew out from the depths of Demon Ape Ridge. The young man who had been cultivating the Undying God Canon, driving the immense Bone Mountain, left Demon Ape Ridge and sped towards the Elf King City as well.

 Chapter 365: The Great Battle Begins

    Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The Great Battle Begins


    Yang Xiaotian was unaware that the young man with the Undying God Canon was also driving the colossal Bone Mountain towards the Elf King City.


    On the way, to elerate the Demon Ape¡¯s recovery from its injuries, he fed the Demon Ape two drops of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    The Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water truly lived up to its reputation as a healing treasure, and under the effect of the two drops, the wounds of the Demon Ape healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.


    Driven at full force, the Abyssal Spaceship turned into a streak of extreme speed, continuously breaking throughyers of clouds and rapidly approaching the Elf King City.


    Several dayster.


    The Elf King City was finally within sight.


    At this moment, inside the pce of the Elf King City, Xi Yuandong¡¯s face was grim.


    Originally, she had intended to ally with the Charm n and the Giant n to surround and kill the Heartfelt Demon Ape, but both the Charm n Leader and the Giant n Leader had refused!


    ¡°Contact the Charm n Leader again,¡± Xi Yuandong insisted, unwilling to give up, and said to Xi Mo, ¡°Tell him if they are willing to take action, I will give them each a hundred drops of Spiritual Liquid!¡±


    The Life God Tree could only condense one drop of Spiritual Liquid each year; a hundred drops represented a century¡¯s reserve of the Elf n.


    Xi Mo respectfully acknowledged themand.


    Suddenly, Xi Yuandong felt a sharp pain in her chest and blood seeped from the corners of her mouth.


    Previously, she had been struck twice by the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s iron chains, and although she had ingested Spiritual Liquid, her injuries had not healed at all.


    Xi Mo, seeing this and about to speak, was suddenly interrupted by a thunderous explosion.


    The entire Elf King City shook violently.


    Every Elf n expert in the great hall was shocked.


    Xi Yuandong and others flew out of the great hall only to see an enormous ape covered in ck fur that seemed to support the sky and earth.


    ¡°The Heartfelt Demon Ape!¡± Xi Yuandong and the others paled.


    ¡°Quick, fully activate the Elf Grand Array!¡± Xi Yuandong bellowed.


    ¡°Your Majesty, be assured, the Elf Grand Array is the strongest of the Hundred n Empire¡¯s grand arrays, the Heartfelt Demon Ape won¡¯t possibly be able to break it!¡± an Elf n Ancestor spoke.


    No sooner had he spoken, the Heartfelt Demon Ape swung down its chain made of ck Crystal Cold Iron.


    Another earth-shattering roar reverberated.


    The protective barrier of the Elf n Army¡¯s Grand Array shook violently, its originally bright glow turning dim.


    The faces of all Elf n experts turned ashen.


    At this moment, the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s iron chain, forged of ck Crystal Cold Iron, indestructible and weighing a billion tons,shed out again.


    With a single strike, it was as if two massive mountains crazily mmed against the Grand Array.


    Bang!


    Following the second earth-shattering roar.


    The entire Elf Grand Array dimmed, its glow gone, while cracks appeared across the barrier, quickly spreading throughout the array.


    Then, with its true form revealed, the Iceme Qilin¡¯s giant paw,rge as a mountain, mmed down.


    The Elf Grand Arraypletely shattered.


    ¡°Thunder Burst!¡± The cold voice of the Azure Thunder Python echoed through Heaven and Earth.


    The skies filled with Divine Grade Tribtion Thunder, like torrential rain, enveloping the entire Elf King City.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, with a Sky Demon silhouette formed behind him, opened his mouth and the Annihting Heaven Demonic Qi surged into the Elf n City like an overwhelming river, sweeping through every corner of the royal city.


    Xi Yuandong panicked, wildly swinging her Elf Sword in hand, unleashing countless Sword Qi.


    Xi Mo, the Hai Family Patriarch, along with a host of Elf powerhouses, all sprung into action.


    Millions of the Elf n Army converged, striking out in fury and shock.


    Thunderous roars echoed incessantly.


    The Elf n Army was continuously sent flying.


    At that moment, the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s ten-thousand-zhang iron chain whipped down again,shing towards Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo, along with a host of Elf n experts.


    Watching the oing ten-thousand-zhang iron chain, Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others¡¯plexions drastically changed. They didn¡¯t dare to take the hit head-on and frantically retreated.


    Just as they retreated, the ten-thousand-zhang iron chain whooshed past where they had originally been standing.


    Thunderous roars.


    Behind them, the Elf n Royal Pce was split into two.


    Two terrifying chasms extended to the very end of the pce.


    Countless pces were reduced to dust.


    Blood rained down in torrents.


    Seeing this, Xi Yuandong was even more horrified. The strength of the Heartfelt Demon Ape had increased more than twofoldpared to their encounter in Sky Demon City!


    She suddenly looked and saw that the chasm-like wound on the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s chest had healed!


    Watching as the Elf n Army surged forward, the Heartfelt Demon Ape let out a roar. The sonic waves generated terrifying gales, sending wave after wave of the Elf n Army flying.


    Seeing the ferocity of the Heartfelt Demon Ape, Xi Mo and the group of Divine Spirit Ancestors were trembling with fear.


    ¡°Your Majesty, you are wounded. Shall we retreat for now?¡± a Divine Spirit Ancestor said with a trembling voice.


    The fierceness of the Heartfelt Demon Ape made the Elf n experts entertain thoughts of retreat.


    Yet Xi Yuandong was furious, and with her sword pointed at Yang Xiaotian, shemanded, ¡°All of you listen to mymand, kill him for me. Even if it leads to our n¡¯s destruction, I want you to kill him!¡± With that said, she took the lead and struck at Yang Xiaotian with her Elf Sword.


    Her hatred for Yang Xiaotian was boundless.


    In the battle with the Dwarf Tribe, the Elf n lost nearly a million troops. In the battle at Sky Demon City, hundreds of beings from the Saint Realm fell, along with thousands from the Elf royal family and Core Disciples. Even her most cherished grandson, Xi Luo, died!


    All this was because of this Human Race youth!


    If it hadn¡¯t been for this Human Race youth, none of this would have happened.


    Upon Xi Yuandong¡¯smand, the Elf n Army, like tidal waves, continuously attacked Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape disbanded Xi Yuandong¡¯s Sword Qi with one palm strike. With cold, piercing eyes, it took a step forward, and like a mountain, its ape leg with rolling Demonic Qi stamped towards the Elf n Royal Pce.


    Xi Mo and the others were rmed andunched their attacks.


    However, the attacks from Xi Mo and the others couldn¡¯t shake the Heartfelt Demon Ape; they couldn¡¯t even cut through the Demonic Qi enveloping its body.


    The Demonic Qi shrouding the Heartfelt Demon Ape covered the sky and earth, forming a demonic realm that seemingly had tens of thousands of demons.


    Yang Xiaotian held the Burying Heaven Sword and Controlling Dragon Sword in his hands, charging into the Elf n Army. Wherever he went, the troops of the Elf n were sent tumbling into the air.


    Amidst the tens of millions of the Elf n Army, Yang Xiaotian carved bloody waves one after another.


    Activating the power of his eleven Sword Hearts, multicolored Sword Qi erupted from his body. From afar, he looked like a ball of multicolored light weaving through the tens of millions of the Elf n Army.


    Wherever the multicolored ball of light passed, waves of blood surged, strikingly vivid and awe-inspiring.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and the Azure Thunder Python followed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, charging into the Elf n Army.


    Instantly, the entire Elf King City seemed to experience a relentless downpour of blood, nearly obliterating the sunlight above. Meanwhile, the Heartfelt Demon Ape, alone, wasbating Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and over a dozen Divine Spirit Powerhouses.


    Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others were spewing blood incessantly.


    Their wild killing intent ravaged all corners of heaven and earth.


    The Iceme Qilin¡¯s body erupted with ice-blue mes. With one swipe of its paw, it cleaved mountains and shattered the earth, freezing thousands of miles around. The Elf n¡¯s Saint Realm Ancestors either exploded on impact or were frozen solid, and no one in their path could withstand them.


    Yang Xiaotian was continuously swallowed up by the Elf n Army, yet continued to st the surrounding troops away. The divine light from his two Divine Elixirs surged, and the power of True Essence seemed endless as it flowed from his Dual Swords.


    His vitalitypletely unfurled, transforming into a sea of blood that spanned thousands of miles. Instantly, scorching waves rolled forth, the blood-red energy illuminating half of the Elf King City.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vitality so tremendous, the Elf n powerhouses werepletely stunned.

 Chapter 366: The Birth of the Grim Reaper

    Chapter 366: Chapter 366: The Birth of the Grim Reaper


    Vitality spanning a thousand miles!


    Even among the Elf n¡¯s numerous Saint Realm powerhouses, few could boast such vigorous vitality.


    And yet, Yang Xiaotian was merely a Martial Emperor.


    ¡°Kill him!¡± Xi Yuandong, seeing this, his eyes filled with an even stronger intent to kill.


    She wanted to rush to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side but had barelyunched forward when she was forced back by the Heartfelt Demon Ape¡¯s iron chains that spanned ten thousand feet.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    A loud explosion was heard.


    An Elf n Divine Spirit powerhouse was struck by the ten thousand feet iron chains, sent flying and crashing through the walls of the Elf King City. When he rolled to the ground, his armor shattered, his head a bloody, indiscernible mess,pletely split open!


    Seeing this, all Elf n Divine Spirit powerhouses gasped in shock.


    Divine Spirits were indeed formidable, with terrifying vitality and blood essence, but with a head split open, not even a Divine Spirit could possibly survive.


    ¡°Ancestor Yan!¡± The direct descendants of this Elf n Divine Spirit powerhouse wailed and screamed.


    The Demon Ape swung its iron chains at Xi Yuandong and the others once again.


    Watching the iron chains, which seemed toe from the hands of the Death God, Xi Yuandong, and the others had their hairs stand on end.


    But it wasn¡¯t long before the Hai Family Patriarch was whipped away by the chains, too.


    Just like Ancestor Yan before him, the Hai Family Patriarch had his headpletely split open when he crashed to the ground.


    Xi Mo and the others, who were still considering holding their ground, were now trembling with fear.


    ¡°Your Majesty, we should retreat for now!¡± An Elf n Divine Spirit powerhouse almost begged with tears in his voice.


    The two who had just died were at the firstyer of the Divine Spirit Realm, and he sensed that he might be next, as he was the weakest among the remaining Elf n Divine Spirit powerhouses.


    Xi Yuandong swept his gaze across the entire city and saw that the Elf n Army waspletely being ughtered by Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python. His eyes bloodshot with rage, he bellowed, ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Hearing Xi Yuandong¡¯s order to retreat, Xi Mo and the others let out a sigh of relief, no longer wanting to fight, and they all retreated.


    The Elf n Army, which had previously surrounded Yang Xiaotian so tightly that no water could get through, also withdrew like the tide.


    In the end, the millions-strong Elf n Armypletely retreated.


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanions did not press their advantage and continue the pursuit; after all, they hade mainly for the Life God Tree this time.


    Looking at the Elf n City, which had almost be ruins, Yang Xiaotian spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s head to the Forbidden Ground first!¡±


    The Life God Tree was located in the Elf n Forbidden Ground.


    The Forbidden Ground was not within the Elf King City but not far from it.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Forbidden Ground and saw the Life God Tree.


    The Life God Tree towered a hundred feet high, brimming with greenery, dotted with specks of gold light, and little shadows darted and flew among the branches. On closer inspection, they were tiny life elves, the size of a thumb.


    These elves had no physical bodies, but were formed from spiritual energy, lending the Life God Tree a dreamlike and fantastic beauty.


    Looking at the Life God Tree before him, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but admire it, and even the Demon Ape and hispanions couldn¡¯t stop their expressions of awe.


    ¡°It is said that this Life God Tree is over a million years old,¡± the Demon Ape spoke, ¡°it was brought back from the Deste Battlefield by the Elf n¡¯s Ancient Ancestor long ago.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    What followed was the task of relocating the Life God Tree.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to have the Demon Ape and the others take action, Master Ding, who had been silent for a while, said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± After speaking, he soared into the sky, bing asrge as a mountain, and his cauldron mouth began to engulf the Life God Tree.


    Suddenly, the ground around trembled and burst open, and the Life God Tree slowly flew out from beneath the ground.


    The Demon Ape had never heard of Master Ding¡¯s existence before; staring at Master Ding in the high sky, it was dumbfounded.


    Having lived for nearly ten thousand years, it was the first time it had seen a Medicine Cauldron that had developed a spirit.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was collecting the Life God Tree, the immense Bone Mountain also rushed toward the Elf n City at an astonishing speed.


    Wherever the Bone Mountain passed, the originally lushnd turned into a dead grey; all the green grass and great trees seemed to have been drained of their life force, withering instantly.


    Even the once clear rivers turned into rivers of deathly aura, with the bodies of all the fish and every living creature floating up.


    Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo, who had fled from the Elf n City, along with the retreating Elf n Army, suddenly saw a colossal Bone Mountain flying towards them from the distant sky.


    Feeling the terrifying deathly aura of the giant Bone Mountain, the faces of Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others paled.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Undying Death Qi!¡±


    ¡°All troops, prepare to meet the enemy!¡±


    Xi Yuandong shouted sharply.


    The Bone Mountain approached extremely quickly, reaching Xi Yuandong and the others in the blink of an eye.


    As the Bone Mountain drew near, Xi Yuandong and the others felt its overwhelming and infinite Undying Death Qi, and their expressions changed dramatically.


    At that moment, the Bone Mountain suddenly split open, and a sinister young man walked out from inside it.


    The young man was dressed in a robe filled with deathly aura that swirled endlessly on its surface.


    Feeling the young man¡¯s terrifying Undying Death Qi, Xi Yuandong¡¯s expression grew grave.


    The young man nced at the millions-strong Elf Army and smirked at Xi Yuandong, ¡°So you¡¯re the current Elf Queen? At mere Divine Spirit Third Layer. I had never expected the Elf n to have weakened so much over a million years.¡±


    Facing the young man, Xi Yuandong found it hard to breathe. She circted all the Divine Power within her, gripping the Elf Sword tightly in her hand, and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Who might you be?¡±


    ¡°Who am I?¡± The young man thought for a moment, thenughed, ¡°A million years ago, the people of the Azure God Continent used to call me the Undying Death God.¡±


    ¡°The Undying Death God!¡± Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others cried out, trembling with fear.


    Many of the Elf n¡¯s experts were so frightened that they dropped their long swords.


    ¡°Impossible, the Lord of Azure God had already killed the Undying Death God back then. You can¡¯t possibly be the Undying Death God!¡± An Elf n Ancestor said frantically, shaking his head in disbelief.


    Xi Yuandong too was incredulous.


    After all, it was clearly recorded in the Divine Tome that the Undying Death God had been killed by the Lord of Azure God.


    The young man chuckled, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether you believe it or not, because very soon, you will be the first batch of Divine Spirits under mymand to turn into Death Spirits!¡± With those words, the Undying Death Qi surged up like a tsunami into the sky.


    As the Undying Death Qi inside him rose, even the clouds in the Nine Heavens changed color, turning from white to grey clouds of death. The sky that was clear just moments ago also turnedpletely ashen.


    Behind him, the skulls of the Bone Mountain overwhelmed and swarmed towards Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others.


    Instantly, screams echoed.


    One after another, the troops of the Elf n were swallowed by the Bone Mountain.


    Xi Yuandong, Xi Mo, and the others frantically attacked, but they despaired to find that when they shattered these skulls, they would instantly coalesce anew.


    These skeletal heads were simply unkible.


    At this moment, Xi Yuandong and the others realized that only by killing the young man could these skulls be vanquished.


    ¡°Kill him!¡± With a determined heart, Xi Mo suddenly lunged forward with a sword thrust at the young man.


    Upon seeing this, the young man simply flicked his finger, sending Xi Mo flying with a flick of his finger, crashing into the ground far away, followed by his agonized screams. One could see that his chest had been pierced by the young man¡¯s fingertip force, as the Undying Death Qi voraciously consumed his flesh and even his soul.

 Chapter 367 - 367 Azure Bear Takes Action

    Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Azure Bear Takes Action


    Xi Mo¡¯s entire body was rotting, gradually transforming into a Death Spirit.


    Soon, the ghastly wailing of Xi Mo ceased.


    When Xi Mo stood up again, his appearance hadpletely changed, the flesh and blood of his entire body had vanished, an aura of Undying Death Qi pervaded him, and his grey eyes burned with a ghastly me.


    Xi Yuandong and the others were utterly horrified.


    ¡°Rest assured, you will soon be just like him, bing an Undying Wraith!¡± the Undying Death God cackled loudly and suddenly wed towards the chest of the Elf Queen, Xi Yuandong.


    Xi Yuandong¡¯s face turned pale with shock, and just as she tried to dodge backward, the Undying Death God¡¯s hand was too fast, piercing through her chest in an instant and emerging from her back.


    Xi Yuandong stood stiffly in midair, disbelievingly looking at her chest.


    ¡°I told you, you¡¯d soon be the first batch of Divine Spirit Realm wraiths under mymand!¡± the cold voice of the Undying Death God echoed in the sky for a long time.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, within the Elf n Forbidden Ground, under the devouring power of the Medicine Cauldron, the entire Life God Tree finally broke through the ground and flew out.


    The roots of the Life God Tree were incredibly long and numerous, radiating a surging power of life.


    Fortunately for Yang Xiaotian and the others, with the Medicine Cauldron¡¯s intervention, otherwise extracting the Life God Tree from the ground intact would not have been an easy feat.


    Subsequently, the Life God Tree flew into the inner space within the Medicine Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian also took away the soil in which the Life God Tree was nted; this soil, having been soaked with the Spiritual Energy of life from the Life God Tree, was precious and rare, and could be used in the future for nting the Life God Tree again.


    Having acquired the Life God Tree, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions immediately left the Elf n Forbidden Ground. Passing through the Elf n City, Yang Xiaotian took the opportunity to st open the Elf n Treasury and, together with the Demon Ape and the others, moved the treasures of the Elf n.


    Inheriting from ancient times, one could imagine the astonishing wealth contained within the Elf n Treasury; just the endless mountains of Spirit Stones were enough to stupefy the Demon Ape, the Iceme Kylin, and the others.


    Yang Xiaotian, no longer in need of Spirit Stones, was indifferent to them. However, a jade bottle in the treasury caught his attention because he sensed an overwhelming force of life from within the bottle.


    When he opened the jade bottle, beams of the Light of Life rose from it, revealing a full bottle of green liquid inside.


    ¡°Spiritual Liquid of Life!¡± the Demon Ape and the others eximed in unison.


    Yang Xiaotian gazed at the Spiritual Liquid of Life in the jade bottle, pleasantly surprised.


    He too knew that the Life God Tree could only produce one drop of Life Essence Fluid per year, and this bottle should contain tens of thousands of drops.


    The Life Essence Fluid was also a treasure for enhancing vitality, and its effects were many times better than that of the Spiritual Energy of life.


    With so much Life Essence Fluid, it was enough to significantly increase his vitality.


    Yang Xiaotian safely stored the bottle of Life Essence Fluid away.


    Afterward, the group set off on the Abyssal Spaceship and tore through the sky as they left.


    Soon after Yang Xiaotian left the Elf King City, the Undying Death God arrived at the Elf Forbidden Ground atop the ten thousand feet high Bone Mountain.


    However, when the Undying Death God saw that the Life God Tree had already been taken, his expression darkened.


    This time, he hade to the Elf n mainly for the Life God Tree.


    Now, to find that the Life God Tree had been taken by someone!


    ¡°Who exactly was it?¡± His eyes were filled with intense killing intent.


    Without the Life God Tree, many of his ns would fall through.


    ¡°Seeking death!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯d better hope I don¡¯t find out who you are!¡± he roared in anger.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian found an Uninhabited Peak and swallowed a gulp of Life Essence Fluid and the six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, beginning his cultivation.


    After a day of cultivation.


    Indeed, he could clearly feel that his vitality had significantly improvedpared to before.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian went nowhere else, just continuously swallowing Life Essence Fluid and six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to cultivate on this Uninhabited Peak.


    Several days had passed.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vital energy had increased astonishingly.


    Moreover, his strength had nearly reached thete stages of the Martial Emperor Third Layer.


    On this day, just as Yang Xiaotian was cultivating, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, who had gone out to gather news, brought back a piece of news that shocked everyone.


    ¡°What, the entire Elf n army of ten million was devoured by the Undying Death Qi?¡± The Demon Ape, the Iceme Kylin, and the Azure Thunder Python were all shocked upon hearing the news.


    ¡°Yes, even the Elf Queen, Xi Mo and the others didn¡¯t escape,¡± said the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor with an extremely grave expression, ¡°It was the Undying Death God who took action!¡±


    ¡°The Undying Death God is still alive.¡±


    The Undying Death God is still alive!


    The Demon Ape, Iceme Kylin, and Azure Thunder Python all had their expressions change drastically.


    Originally, they had thought that someone had obtained the Undying God Canon and it was not the emergence of the Undying Death God, nor the emergence of some Undying Evil God.


    But to their surprise, it was the Undying Death God!


    The Undying Death God, that¡¯s an ancient deity!


    An unparalleled terror that even the Lord of Azure God considered a lifelong great enemy.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank upon hearing of the emergence of the Undying Death God.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°Currently, the Undying Wraiths of the Elf n are ughtering everywhere, everyone in the Hundred n Empire is in danger, all the ns are terrified, in a state of chaos,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said solemnly, ¡°The Sky Demon n, Charm n, Dwarf n have all fully activated their grand arrays, forbidding their disciples from going out.¡±


    ¡°Has the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army not arrived yet?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Not yet!¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head, ¡°But even if the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army arrives, I¡¯m afraid it will be of no use.¡±


    After all, this time there were more than a dozen Divine Spirit Realm wraiths from the Elf n.


    ¡°Unless the Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion or Lord Azure Bear personally takes action!¡± said the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    The next day, the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army finally arrived, and what lifted the spirits of the Hundred n Empire was that both the Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion and Lord Azure Bear hade.


    Lord Azure Bear engaged in a world-ending battle with the Undying Death God.


    They fought so fiercely that the heavens shattered and the earth split.


    Countless cities and mountains were destroyed due to the impact of their powers.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian was extremely far from the battleground of these two, he could still feel their world-destroying powers.


    Under the envelopment of their powers, billions of the empire¡¯s strongest warriors shivered with fear.


    After a day of ughter, things finally calmed down.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor went out to gather news and soon returned, saying excitedly, ¡°The Undying Death God lost and fled into the Eternal Burial Ground! Lord Azure Bear has already pursued!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brows furrowed.


    The Undying Death God fled into the Eternal Burial Ground?


    In a few months¡¯ time, he would have to enter the Eternal Tomb to find thest piece of Innate Divine Iron. If the Undying Death God were hiding in the Eternal Burial Ground, then his uing venture into the Eternal Tomb would be extremely perilous.


    The Demon Ape and the others couldn¡¯t be happy either, now that Lord Azure Bear could defeat the Undying Death God, but they knew they could not kill him. As long as the Undying Death God remained alive, the empires of the Azure God Continent were constantly at risk.


    ¡°Master Ding, do you have a way to kill the Undying Death God?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Medicine Cauldron pondered and said, ¡°With my current capabilities, it is difficult!¡±


    ¡°Even with the ninthyer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°No!¡± Medicine Cauldron shook his head, ¡°Undying Death Qi is the most difficult energy to eradicate in the world. As long as there is even a trace of Undying Death Qi, the Undying Death God can be revived.¡±

 Chapter 368: 368: Eternal Heavenly Coffin

    Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Eternal Heavenly Coffin


    Hearing that the Medicine Cauldron was now unable to kill the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank.


    However, although the Medicine Cauldron was currently unable to kill the Undying Death God, as long as there was Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, it was possible to severely injure the Undying Death God.


    Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat relieved.


    ¡°Young Master, the Undying Death God has fled into the Eternal Burial Ground, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s also aiming for the Eternal Heavenly Tomb,¡± the Demon Ape said. ¡°It will be very dangerous for you if you enter the Eternal Heavenly Tomb then.¡±


    It was more than just dangerous.


    Even if the Undying Death God was wounded by the Azure Bear, it was not someone that Demon Ape and the rest could contend with.


    In the entire Azure God Continent, only the Azure Bear could suppress the Undying Death God.


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Tomb is opening, and I must go,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with determination.


    To repair the Sword of Azure God, he still needed thest piece of Innate Divine Iron. This time, he had to enter the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. If he missed this chance, he would have to wait another year.


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Tomb contains the Eternal Heavenly Coffin. If it falls into the hands of the Undying Death God, we will have trouble,¡± the Iceme Qilin said with a heavy heart.<div>


    ¡°Yes, if the Undying Death God obtains the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, I¡¯m afraid even Lord Azure Bear won¡¯t be able to suppress him,¡± the Azure Thunder Python also said with a worried expression.


    Yang Xiaotian remained silent.


    He too had an understanding of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. Enclosed within it was the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, a treasured heritage artifact of the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect, and one of the most sinister and terrifying Divine Artifacts of old.


    Moreover, it was rumored that within the Eternal Heavenly Coffiny one of the most powerful Ancient Ancestors of the Netherworld Demon Sect, an ancestor who had not truly died. If that being were to be controlled by the Undying Death God and turned into an Undying Wraith, it would be a true horror.


    ¡°However, within the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, there is the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit. If the Young Master could obtain it, perhaps it could elevate your vitality to an unimaginable level,¡± the Demon Ape said.


    In the past, the Heavenly Dragon Sword God had entered the Eternal Heavenly Tomb and obtained the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit. His cultivation soared, and he developed an understanding of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Dao.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    In fact, one of his goals for entering the Eternal Heavenly Tomb this time was to find the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.


    The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit is a divine medicine of Heaven and Earth with miraculous effects. It can not only enhance vitality but also improve cultivation, and such divine medicinees without side effects.


    If he could get the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, it would be enough to train his vitality to an unparalleled realm.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent his days consuming Life Essence Fluid and Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for cultivation.


    At the same time, he had the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and others gather information about the whereabouts of Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the top three Divine mes.


    Now, only the top three Divine mes could suppress the Undying Death Qi.


    So, he definitely had to find the top three Divine mes.


    Day after day¡­


    Under the effects of the Life Essence Fluid and the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation and vitality improved at a divine speed.


    In the blink of an eye, several months passed.


    July arrived.


    The sunshine became more scorching.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was seated under the Life God Tree, his vitality boiling incessantly. His vitality continuously unfolded, already reaching a range of two thousand miles.


    And at this moment, his strength had also broken through to the sixth realm of Martial Emperor.


    Seeing the surging, scorching vitality around Yang Xiaotian that was fierce like the sun, the Demon Ape and the rest were unspeakably shocked.


    In the past few months, nothing major happened in the Hundred n Empire. Since thest time the troops of the Azure God Mansion and the Azure Bear made their move, the Death Spirit army of the Elf n had beenpletely annihted.<div>


    The Elf n¡¯s dozen or so Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits were also cleanly in by the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion.


    Although the Hundred n Empire still had some sporadic Death Spirits, each n waspletely capable of dealing with them.


    However, ever since the Undying Death God had escaped into the Eternal Burial Ground, there had been no news.


    Even Lord Azure Bear, who turned the Eternal Burial Ground upside down, couldn¡¯t find any trace of the Undying Death God.


    If the Undying Death God were not to die one day, the Azure God Continent could be a Mortal Purgatory at any time.


    Seeing that the time to open the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was drawing near, Yang Xiaotian stopped his cultivation and then started heading towards the Eternal Burial Ground with the Demon Ape and a few others.


    Ten dayster.


    When Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Eternal Burial Ground, it was high noon.


    But the Eternal Burial Ground was shrouded in gloom, and above the burial ground, ayer of faint grey mist obscured the sunlight.


    Within the grey mist were Death Qi, corpse Qi, and toxic miasma. Martial arts practitioners with weak strength who entered the burial ground would inhale this grey mist and at the least be poisoned, damaging their internal organs, or at worst rot and die.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others dispelled the mist and entered the burial ground. After entering, Yang Xiaotian wore his Divine Armor around the clock, after all, no one knew when the Undying Death God might suddenly appear.


    Because the Undying Death God was lurking in the Eternal Burial Ground, the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb did not see much human activity, and the entire burial ground was silent.


    A nce revealed towering tombs with no one in sight.<div>


    ¡°These people, they were all illustrious figures of the Hundred n Empire in their lifetimes,¡± the Demon Ape said as he looked at the countless tombs, ¡°Millions of years have passed, and even the most powerful existences have be but a pile of white bones.¡±


    Even beings as powerful as Divine Spirits, or those who surpassed Divine Spirits, could not live forever.


    Suddenly, at that moment, a corpse flew out of a tomb, biting at the crowd.


    These corpses, the product of some kind of mutation after the death of strong warriors, were not weak, but they were all directly exploded with a single palm p by the group.


    Although these corpses were strong, they were generally only at the Emperor Realm. Very few of the corpses were at the level of the Saint Realm.


    They had lost count of how many tombs they had turned over as the sky gradually darkened.


    At night, the creatures of the burial ground ran wild. There were still two days before the Eternal Heavenly Tomb would open, so the group found a rtively safe grove to rest for the night.


    A fire would attract the creatures of death, so they didn¡¯t make a fire, and instead sat on the ground drinking.


    ¡°Young master, in a few days, once you break through to the Martial Venerable realm, you could actually go and participate in the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment and join the Azure God Academy,¡± the Demon Ape suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°Join the Azure God Academy?¡± Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    ¡°Yes, with the young master¡¯s talent, you could definitely pass the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment and join,¡± the Demon Ape said, ¡°The Azure God Academy is established by the Azure God Mansion, and it¡¯s the number one academy on the Azure God Continent, gathering almost all the most monstrous geniuses from the major empires of the Azure God Continent!¡±


    ¡°At the time, the Azure God Mansion established the Azure God Academy with the goal of selecting geniuses. Those who excel at the Azure God Academy can join the Azure God Mansion directly after graduation, without the need for further assessments.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart stirred.<div>


    ¡°However, one must be a Martial Venerable to participate in the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment,¡± the Demon Ape said.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    With his current speed of cultivation, he might hope to break through to Martial Venerable within half a year.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian learned from the Demon Ape that the Azure God Academy was in the Myriad Gods Empire, the first empire on the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if the Azure God Academy has Divine me, but I do know it has a Divine Sword,¡± the Demon Ape said, ¡°The third-ranked Divine Shadow Sword is at the Azure God Academy.¡±


    ¡°The Divine Shadow Sword was the personal sword of the ancient deity Divine Shadow Master. It¡¯s shadowless and formless, and kills imperceptibly, which is quite terrifying.¡±

 Chapter 369: 369: The Last Piece of Innate Divine Iron

    Chapter 369: Chapter 369: The Last Piece of Innate Divine Iron


    ¡°The Divine Shadow Sword,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    In those years, he had seen the records about the ten Divine Swords in the notes of Divine Sword Academy¡¯s headmaster Cao Shun, so he was naturally familiar with the Divine Shadow Sword.


    ¡°After Divine Shadow Master died, the Divine Shadow Sword has remained without a master,¡± said the Demon Ape. ¡°However, no one from Azure God Academy has been able to tame the Divine Shadow Sword for so many years.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention taming it, no one has even been able to find the Divine Shadow Sword, because it is invisible and intangible. Even if it¡¯s right before your eyes, you simply cannot see it.¡±


    The Iceme Kylin chuckled, ¡°Young Master possesses eleven Invincible Sword Hearts. If he were to enter Azure God Academy, he would definitely be able to find the Divine Shadow Sword.¡±


    The Azure Thunder Pythonughed as well, ¡°I heard that the headmaster of the Azure God Academy has made a rule that whoever can tame the Divine Shadow Sword will be his Direct Disciple.¡±


    The group began to discuss the Divine Shadow Sword.


    Finally, the night passed.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others continued on their journey.


    As they moved deeper, they encountered many more dead creatures.<div>


    The Iceme Kylin and the others sted their way through.


    One dayter, they finally arrived in front of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    Before them, Yang Xiaotian and the others saw a colossal ancient tomb, somewhat shaped like a pyramid. The entire surface shimmered with golden light, but it also exuded an intensely strong aura of death.


    This aura of death was invisible, but everyone could sense it.


    At that time, the stone doors of the ancient tomb were tightly closed, and it would be half a day before they would open.


    Yang Xiaotian and the others then concealed themselves, waiting for the tomb to open.


    The group had just hidden themselves when they heard several swooshing sounds approaching from a distance. A few middle-aged men dressed in azure robesnded in front of the tomb.


    On their chests, they bore an eye-catching ¡°Fan¡± character.


    Seeing the attire of the middle-aged men, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor eximed in surprise, ¡°The Fan Family of the Great Brahma Empire!¡±


    The Great Brahma Empire was unquestionably one of the strongest empires on the Azure God Continent, and in terms of strength, it was not much weaker than the Myriad Gods Empire.


    And the Fan Family was the number one family of the Great Brahma Empire, and also one of the oldest and most powerful families on the Azure God Continent.


    Unexpectedly, the people from the Fan Family of the Great Brahma Empire hade for the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb this time.


    The experts from the Fan Family, brimming with divine might, were obviously Divine Spirit Realm masters. After arriving, they too concealed themselves, waiting for the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.


    Not long after the people from the Great Brahma Empire¡¯s Fan Family had arrived, another group of people came.


    This group was exuding rolling auras of death.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Yin Wind Sect from the Buddha Pagoda Empire!¡± the Immortal Demon Ancestor said in shock.


    The Buddha Pagoda Empire, much like the Great Brahma Empire, was one of the several most powerful empires on the Azure God Continent. The Yin Wind Sect was one of the most powerful sects of the Buddha Pagoda Empire.


    The Yin Wind Sect¡¯s lineage traced back to the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect, and the founder of the Yin Wind Sect was an Elder from the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect.


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.<div>


    The masters from the Fan Family and Yin Wind Sect had arrived; could they also be here for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit and the Eternal Heavenly Coffin?


    The Great Brahma Empire and Buddha Pagoda Empire were extremely far from the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. They would not travel millions of miles for ordinary treasures.


    If they were here for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit and the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, that would be quite troublesome.


    After the masters from the Fan Family and Yin Wind Sect arrived, no other experts came.<div>


    Time passed.


    Suddenly, the radiance of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb trembled, and the stone doors slowly opened.


    Seeing the Eternal Heavenly Tomb finally opened, the people from the Yin Wind Sect rushed impatiently into the tomb.


    Following them, the experts from the Fan Family also closely followed the Yin Wind Sect¡¯s people into the tomb.


    After waiting a while, seeing no one else entering the Heavenly Tomb, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape shed in.


    Inside the Heavenly Tomb was another space, endless at a nce.


    Yang Xiaotian discerned the direction and flew north.


    Because the Dwarf n Leader, Man Fang, had said that someone had once seen a piece of Innate Divine Iron at the extreme north of the Heavenly Tomb, atop the Purple Cold Ice Peak, which was impossible for anyone to retrieve because no one could get close to the Purple Cold Ice Peak.


    While others couldn¡¯t enter the Purple Cold Ice Peak, for Yang Xiaotian, who possessed the Divine me, it wasn¡¯t difficult.


    The journey was uneventful.


    He came across many Spiritual Medicines along the way, but Yang Xiaotian paid them no attention.


    Now, he needed to rush to the Purple Cold Ice Peak with all his might because the Heavenly Tomb was only open for one day.


    Over an hourter.<div>


    They entered the extreme northern region of the Heavenly Tomb.


    Upon entering the northern region, the cold air was piercing, with purple snowkes filling the sky.


    The ground was covered withyers uponyers of purple ice.


    Although it wasn¡¯t the Purple Cold Ice, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions still felt cold to the marrow, forcing Yang Xiaotian to invoke the power of the Earth me.


    The further they flew forward, the stronger the cold air became. The purple snow gradually disappeared, but in its ce came the purple cold wind. When the purple cold wind blew past, they all felt as if they were about to be frozen into ice sculptures.


    The purple cold wind grew stronger with each gust.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    With the protection of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, they arrived at the deepest part of the northern region.


    There stood a towering Purple Cold Ice Peak in front of them, with Purple Cold Aura pervading the area. Around the ice peak, there were countless ice sculptures, evidently Sect Masters who had been frozen to death by the Purple Cold Aura.


    Yang Xiaotian told the others to wait there for him while he flew up alone.


    The closer he got to the Purple Cold Ice Peak, the more terrifying the Purple Cold Aura became. The Purple Cold Aura here was ten times stronger than the Purple Cold Aura from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.


    Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian had the Divine me; otherwise, relying solely on the Earth me, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach the Purple Cold Ice Peak.


    With the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, Yang Xiaotian made his way through the dense Purple Cold Aura and finally reached the summit of the Purple Cold Ice Peak, seeing its full extent.<div>


    At the summit of the Purple Cold Ice Peak, there was a human-head-sized piece of Innate Divine Iron lodged at the highest point.


    Seeing that the Purple Cold Ice Peak indeed had Innate Divine Iron, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed. Such arge piece of Innate Divine Iron waspletely sufficient for him to repair the Sword of Azure God and even have some left over.


    Thereupon, Yang Xiaotian expanded the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire to its limit, stepping forward toward the Innate Divine Iron.


    Under the incineration of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, the Purple Cold Ice that covered the surface of the Innate Divine Iron finally melted awaypletely.


    Yang Xiaotian grabbed the Innate Divine Iron and stowed it into the Medicine Cauldron.


    The moment he collected the Innate Divine Iron, he immediately retreated.


    Without the slightest hesitation.


    Because he sensed a terrifying cold air within the depths beneath the Purple Cold Ice Peak.


    This cold air was so strong that even the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire couldn¡¯t suppress it.


    Indeed, just as Yang Xiaotian was retreating, suddenly, the entire Purple Cold Ice Peak exploded with a boom, like a volcano erupting. A horrifying st of cold air burst forth from the base of the ice peak.


    This st of cold air was a dark purple, purple-dark to the point of causing one¡¯s soul to tremble.


    The terrifying cold air swept across heaven and earth.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked and, without a moment to spare, summoned the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire as well, with both Divine Fires guarding his body, he fled at full speed, while shouting, ¡°Get away quickly!¡±<div>


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s urgent voice, the Demon Ape and the rest outside didn¡¯t dare to hesitate and fled.


    As Yang Xiaotian fled, the rolling dark purple cold air chased him like a tsunami, getting closer and closer.

 Chapter 370: 370: The Cauldron Booms Against the Undying Death God

    Chapter 370: Chapter 370: The Cauldron Booms Against the Undying Death God


    Watching the purple-ck frost getting closer, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face turned pale.


    He knew that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was utterly incapable of suppressing the purple-ck frost. Once engulfed by it, his fate would likely be the same as those frozen sect experts.


    In that moment, Yang Xiaotian let out a cry, and two Divine Elixir Golden Cores flew out.


    The radiance of the two Divine Elixir Golden Cores illuminated theyered space, even lighting up the pursuing purple-ck frost.


    Heaven and Earth trembled.


    Under the influence of the two Divine Elixir Golden Cores, the speed of the purple-ck frost slowed down.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian activated the Primordial Dragon Art with all his might, his body covered in dragon scales, and the True Dragon Wings unfolding on his back. In a single spread, he turned into a phantom, piercing through the dense Purple Cold Aura.


    In his desperate effort, he finally managed to distance himself from the purple-ck frost behind him.


    By the time he had flown far enough, the purple-ck frost finally ran out of energy, its speed decreasing until it came to a halt.


    Yang Xiaotian, feeling like he had survived a cmity, touched his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.<div>


    It was fortunate he had the two Divine Elixir Golden Cores; otherwise, his chances of escape might not have been good.


    However, he did manage to escape in the end.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart rxed.


    Now that he had acquired thest piece of Innate Divine Iron, the next step was to find the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.


    He approached the members of the Demon Ape and together, they departed through the air.


    The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit was said to be within an ancient tomb known as the Heavenly Dragon Hall.


    It wasn¡¯t a secret to anyone.


    However, the gates of the Heavenly Dragon Hall were extremely difficult to open.


    For countless years, only the Heavenly Dragon Sword God had ever managed to open the gates of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.


    As to whether he could open them, Yang Xiaotian was not certain.


    But no matter what, he had to try.


    The Heavenly Dragon Hall was located on the southern side of the ancient tomb. After hastening there with all their might, they finally arrived at the Heavenly Dragon Hall, stationed halfway up a mountain. It wasn¡¯trge, but it was conspicuous.


    Because the entire mountain was bare, with no trees or other forms of life, only the Heavenly Dragon Hall sat there, solitary, giving off a strange sensation.


    Yang Xiaotiannded in front of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.


    As Yang Xiaotian and hispanions reached the Heavenly Dragon Hall, a young man donning a Robe of Deathly Qi was also flying in the direction of the southern part of the ancient tomb. The young man was none other than the Undying Death God.


    At the moment, his face was pale, obviously having been seriously wounded by the Azure Bear a few days earlier.


    Thinking of the injury inflicted by the Azure Bear, a surge of killing intent filled the eyes of the Undying Death God.


    If it were not for the fact that he had yet to cultivate the Undying God Canon to its highest realm in this life, he wouldn¡¯t have ended up injured by a bear.


    ¡°Who exactly took the Life God Tree!¡± he seethed with rage.<div>


    Had he possessed the Life God Tree and fused with its powerful vitality, he could have cultivated the Undying God Canon to the highest realm of ¡°Life and Death Dependent.¡±


    ¡°I will definitely find you out!¡± The eyes of the Undying Death God turned cold, and then he elerated southward at great speed.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and the others had guessed, the Undying Death God had entered the burialnd this time in search of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    ording to what the Undying Death God knew, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was very likely to be within a me Mountain located on the southern side of the Heavenly Tomb.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was unaware that the Undying Death God was hurtling toward his direction. He stood before the grand gate of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, gazing at the giant runes adorning it.


    Back when he was at the Divine Sword Academy, he had specifically studied the Long n script, and these giant runes were precisely that.


    However, these runes differed slightly from the Long n script he had studied, and Yang Xiaotian could only vaguely understand their meaning.


    Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then ced his palms on the great doors, operating the Primordial Dragon Art. True Dragon Power surged out from his palms.


    The grand doors of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, originally tightly shut, trembled with light and were slowly pushed open.


    The Demon Apes watched, dumbstruck.


    Had the Heavenly Dragon Hall been opened so easily?


    Back in the day, even though the Heavenly Dragon Sword God had entered the Heavenly Dragon Hall, he had expended an immense effort, akin to the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, to finally get it open.


    As Yang Xiaotian was opening the great doors of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, the Undying Death God was rapidly breaking through the air in the distance, heading their way. From afar, he caught sight of the open gates of the Heavenly Dragon Hall and, unable to hide his astonishment, was then filled with sheer delight.


    For him, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit was of great benefit to the recovery of his wounds¡ªit was a pleasant surprise indeed.


    He increased his speed, flying toward Yang Xiaotian and the others.


    The Demon Apes also noticed the approach of the Undying Death God. Sensing the aura of death emanating from him, their faces turned pale as they collectively realized something.


    ¡°Undying Death God!¡± the Demon Apes eximed in unison.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was also startled.


    At that moment, the Undying Death God shed into existence right before them.


    He nced at the open doors of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, then his gaze settled on Yang Xiaotian, and he smiled, ¡°Little fellow, so it was you who opened the gates of the Heavenly Dragon Hall!¡±


    ¡°It seems we are quite fated to meet again so soon.¡±


    Then, he asked curiously, ¡°However, I¡¯m very curious how you managed to subdue the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.¡±


    After his initial shock, Yang Xiaotian regained hisposure, fixing his stare on the Undying Death God, ¡°Subduing the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was nothing. I also killed the Deep Sea Demon Roc!¡±


    The Undying Death God was taken aback, then burst into boisterousughter, looking at Yang Xiaotian mockingly, ¡°Little fellow, you say you killed the Deep Sea Demon Roc?¡±


    He certainly knew about the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡ªit had existed longer than himself¡ªand even he wouldn¡¯t dare to im he could injure the Demon Roc, yet this little guy in front of him was iming to have killed it!


    ¡°Little guy, do you think you can scare me off just by saying that?¡± the Undying Death Godughed loudly.


    As the Undying Death God wasughing, suddenly, a surge of darkness erupted from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, with a boundless chill sweeping across heaven and earth. An immense ck Tortoise of darkness appeared above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    When the dark ck Tortoise appeared, the space of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb seemed almost to be getting filled to the brim.


    In every corner of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, dazzling protective light began to surge.


    The previouslyughing Undying Death God upon seeing the boundless ck Tortoise, lost all color in his face, ¡°Is this, the Supreme King Martial Soul?!¡±<div>


    Those from the Fan Family and the Yin Wind Sect who had entered the Eternal Heavenly Tomb were also terrified as they looked at the ck Tortoise in the sky, ¡°It¡¯s the Supreme King, the Supreme King Martial Soul!¡±


    Suddenly, the Undying Death God and the others saw a gold-red Soul Ring appear around the body of the dark ck Tortoise.


    The moment the gold-red Soul Ring appeared, a terrifying divine might enveloped heaven and earth.


    The entire Eternal Heavenly Tomb shook, the ground beginning to fracture.


    Within the gold-red Soul Ring, a dark and enormous figure appeared.


    An aura belonging to the Deep Sea Demon Roc, like an infinite Soul Sea, sted forth, forcing the Undying Death God to repeatedly retreat.


    ¡°Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring!¡±


    The little guy wasn¡¯t just trying to scare him; he had truly killed that Deep Sea Demon Roc!


    Waves of shock surged within the heart of the Undying Death God.


    As waves of shock surged within the Undying Death God¡¯s heart, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian let out a cry, ¡°Master Ding!¡±


    The Medicine Cauldron shot through the air, expanding instantly and bing evenrger than the Deep Sea Demon Roc, then it thundered down toward its target.


    Boom!


    In a moment of distraction, the Undying Death God was struck by the Medicine Cauldron.<div>


    Like a falling meteor, he crashed through who knew how many mountains and rivers.

 Chapter 371: 371: Just Need to Strike One More Sword

    Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Just Need to Strike One More Sword


    The Undying Death God smashed into the end of the Heavenly Tomb,nding amidst a pile of rubble. He violently spat out fresh blood and stared in horror towards the direction of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.


    Seeing that gigantic cauldron propping up the sky, he dared not linger any longer, breaking through the air to flee in panic, escaping the Eternal Heavenly Tomb without any direction in mind.


    ¡°Kid, I, the Undying Death God, will surelye back to find you!¡± The Undying Death God¡¯s voice, filled with shock and anger, echoed incessantly above the Heavenly Tomb.


    As the masters of the Fan Family and the Yin Wind Sect were guessing who the young man who had been sent flying was, they suddenly heard the shocked and angry voice of the Undying Death God, which scared them so much that their legs trembled.


    They had never imagined that it was the Undying Death God who had been sent flying!


    Hearing the shocked and angry voice of the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Just now, Master Ding had used thest of the Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, which was why he was able to inflict heavy damage on the Undying Death God. If they encountered the Undying Death God again next time, it would be impossible to withstand him.


    It seemed that he needed to find the Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water as soon as possible.


    The Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was truly essential for settling down and establishing oneself.


    Yang Xiaotian retracted his Martial Soul and Soul Rings and turned to walk towards the main gate of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.<div>


    Filled with fright and curiosity, many of the old ancestors from the Fan Family and the Yin Wind Sect could not help but use the Heaven-Prating Eye to look towards the Heavenly Dragon Hall, where they saw Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape and a few others.


    Yang Xiaotian, sensing the prying eyes of the old ancestors from the Fan Family and the Yin Wind Sect, turned his head to look in the direction of the old ancestors of the Fan Family and the Yin Wind Sect, which scared them into hastily severing their Heavenly Eye Divine Skill.


    Yang Xiaotian entered the Heavenly Dragon Hall.


    Since only Yang Xiaotian could enter the Heavenly Dragon Hall, the Demon Ape and the others waited outside the hall.


    After the old ancestor Fan Ming from the Fan Family severed the Heavenly Eye Divine Skill, the image of Yang Xiaotian filled his mind.


    His heart was in tumult. Who exactly was this youth, possessing a Supreme King Martial Soul? And he had even defeated the Undying Death God, forcing him to flee.


    Deng Feng, the old ancestor of the Yin Wind Sect, was also shocked and found it hard to calm down for a long time.


    The fact that the Undying Death God had been sent flying by a young man was definitely earth-shattering news if it spread out.


    While Yang Xiaotian was entering the Heavenly Dragon Hall, the Undying Death God also fled the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. He fled in panic and only came to a stop above a certain deste tomb when fresh blood spilled out of his mouth again.


    At this moment, his mind was filled with the Deep Sea Demon Roc Soul Ring and the enormous body of the Medicine Cauldron that propped up the sky.


    Just then, a terrifying power enveloped heaven and earth, and the figure of the Azure Bear appeared before him.


    Seeing that it was the Azure Bear, the Undying Death God did not bother to recall the image of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s million-year Soul Ring and fled once again.


    Today was undoubtedly the most humiliating day for him.


    The Azure Bear, watching the fleeing Undying Death God, was puzzled.


    He could tell that the Undying Death God¡¯s injuries were even more severe than they had been a few months ago and that the blood on the corner of his mouth was clearly fresh. Who could have wounded the Undying Death God?


    Could there be such a powerful existence in the Azure God Continent?


    Full of doubts, he pursued undeeteredly.


    He was very keen to find out who had injured the Undying Death God!


    As Yang Xiaotian entered the Heavenly Dragon Hall, what met his eyes was a spacious and empty hall.<div>


    There was nothing in the hall; the walls were carved with one sword after another.


    These swords, no more no less, totaled exactly ten.


    Yang Xiaotian discovered that these ten swords were carved in the likeness of the ten Divine Swords.


    However, these were just ten ordinary sword drawings that contained no Sword Intent or Sword Dao.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian nced at them and then passed through the hall to the backyard.


    In the backyard stood a hundred-zhang Divine Tree.


    This Divine Tree, shaped like a dragon, had bark that was covered with scales resembling dragon scales, and it had only four thick branches, which were like the four ws of a dragon.


    ¡°The Heavenly Dragon God Tree,¡± Yang Xiaotian recognized the divine tree before his eyes.


    The Heavenly Dragon God Tree was the divine tree of the Long n, and on its four thick branches hung a Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit the size of two fists, its fragrance pervading the air, clearly having just ripened.


    Within the divine fruit, there was a faint shadow of a divine dragon.


    Gazing at the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, Yang Xiaotian was filled with joy.


    With this Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, he would be able to cultivate his qi and blood to an astonishing realm.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, reached out, and plucked it from the tree.


    The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit seemed to have a life of its own, rolling around in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand like a mischievous little dragon. Yang Xiaotian secured the fruit and then turned his attention back to the Heavenly Dragon God Tree in front of him.


    He asked Master Ding if there was a way to take the Heavenly Dragon God Tree with them.


    Master Ding shook his head, ¡°The Heavenly Dragon God Tree has fully integrated with this Heavenly Dragon Hall. Unless the Heavenly Dragon Hall itself could be removed, but this hall is imprinted with the powerful dragon force of the ancient Long n experts, and even with ten vials of nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, I wouldn¡¯t be able to move it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian immediately dismissed the thought.<div>


    ¡°However, if there were a hundred vials of nineyered Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, I could still move this Heavenly Dragon Hall and the Heavenly Dragon God Tree,¡± Master Ding said.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t be bothered with the old man¡¯s nonsense.


    After leaving the Heavenly Dragon Hall, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Apes quickly left and began searching for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Naturally, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin couldn¡¯t fall into the hands of the Undying Death God, so before the next opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, he had to find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    However, the Demon Apes, among others, knew little about the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, making it no easy task to find it within the Heavenly Tomb.


    ¡°The Undying Death God came from this direction just now. The Eternal Heavenly Coffin might be in this direction. Let¡¯s follow this way!¡± Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.


    Thus, they followed the direction the Undying Death God had taken.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at a me Mountain.


    While Yang Xiaotian was searching for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, hundreds of figures in the Divine Dragon Empire, a billion li away, were flying towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The leader was none other than the Demon Sky Sword God.


    Following the Demon Sky Sword God were the divine spirits and Saint Realm masters from the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Ancient Divine Pce, the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Mahayana Divine Sect, the four great Supreme Sects.


    Before long, everyone arrived at the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    ¡°Is this the entrance of the True Dragon Divine Sect?¡± the Demon Sky Sword God asked coldly, ¡°Did Yang Xiaotiane from this True Dragon Divine Sect?¡±<div>


    ¡°Yes, mighty Demon Sky, Yang Xiaotian is indeed from the True Dragon Divine Sect, and he is also their Divine Son,¡± Wu Peng hurriedly stepped forward to answer.


    The eyes of the Demon Sky Sword God were piercing as the Demon Sky Sword in his hand suddenly flew up and brutally shed towards the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Instantly, a sword qi that stretched across the sky descended upon the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    This sword qi,rger than the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect, sent Li Zhengqing, Hu Nan, and all the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect looking up in fear as they felt its terrifying power.


    The sword qi instantly cleaved through the Sect Protection Array of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Just when the sword qi was about to split the entire mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect in two, suddenly, the light of the Sword Path surged, and endless sword qi from eighteen Sword Steles shot into the sky.


    The Demon Sky Sword Qi struck the endless sword qi from the eighteen Sword Steles.


    A thunderous boom sounded.


    Heaven and Earth flickered on and off in response.


    Seeing that the eighteen Sword Steles had blocked his Demon Sky Sword Qi, the Demon Sky Sword God couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.


    ¡°This is the Sword Path of the True Dragon Divine Sect,¡± Wu Peng quickly exined, ¡°It was left by a mysterious and powerful being and is utterly unbreakable.¡±


    The Demon Sky Sword God sneered upon hearing this, ¡°Utterly unbreakable? If I wanted to break it, all it would take is one more strike!¡± With that said, he rose into the sky, sword qi enveloping his body, and under the drive of his terrifying Sword Intent, astonishing sword qi after sword qi began to coalesce.


    <div>

 Chapter 372: 372: Twelve Sword Hearts

    Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Twelve Sword Hearts


    Very soon, Myriad Sword Qi had condensed around the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Sword Qi was like a sea, dense and overwhelming, obscuring the skies.


    In the fearful eyes of the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect, all of a sudden, countless Sword Qi, like a violent rainstorm, furiously bombarded the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    What was it like when countless Sword Qi struck at the same time?


    At a nce, there was only Sword Qi; nothing else could be seen.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were all shocked beyond measure.


    It was then that they truly appreciated the terrifying strength of the Demon Sky Sword God.


    No wonder that in the past, with a single sword strike, the Demon Sky Sword God was able to y four Divine Spirit Powerhouses.


    Such terrifying Sword Qi, let alone thebined forces of all the Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses from the four major sects, even if all the powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Empire joined hands, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it!


    Just as the myriad Sword Qi was falling, the Sword Path¡¯s Eighteen Sword Steles burst forth with endless Sword Qi.<div>


    This Sword Qi formed a barrier, protecting the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The myriad of Sword Qi from the Demon Sky bombarded it, causing a resounding, earth-shaking mor, with radiance scattering everywhere, and countless powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Empire witnessed these terrifying sword beams.


    Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong, Li Qianqian, and others also saw these terrifying sword beams.


    ¡°The Demon Sky Sword God is truly worthy of being a Sword God of the Azure God Continent in his generation. Such terrifying Sword Qi can only be wielded by such a powerful being!¡± Li Hong eximed in amazement.


    ¡°I heard it was Yang Xiaotian who killed the Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s Direct Disciple. Yang Xiaotian is simply courting death! He is definitely doomed this time!¡± Li Qianqian said.


    ¡°The hundreds of thousands of disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect will not escape this disaster!¡± Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong said, shaking his head.


    Just when everyone thought the myriad Sword Qi of the Demon Sky could break through the Sword Qi barrier of the Sword Path, they saw the Sword Qi barrier continuously flowing endlessly, no matter how the myriad Sword Qi from the Demon Sky bombarded it, without any change.


    After the myriad Sword Qi from the Demon Sky had finished bombarding, the Sword Qi barrier remained intact.


    Not to mention breaching it, there wasn¡¯t even a single crack.


    ¡°What!¡± Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were greatly shocked.


    Even the Demon Sky Sword God was surprised.


    Just now, he had mobilized even his most powerful Sword Intent, and yet, he couldn¡¯t break through the power of this Sword Path?


    Who exactly was the mysterious powerhouse who arranged this Sword Path?


    ¡°Who set up this Sword Path?¡± the Demon Sky Sword God asked with a somber face.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others looked at each other, and Wu Peng shook his head: ¡°No one knows who set up this Sword Path, but Yang Xiaotian has already grasped the power of the Sword Path, perhaps he knows who it was.¡±


    The Demon Sky Sword God, looking at the spurting Sword Qi of the Sword Path, eyes cold, stepped into the void and arrived above the Sword Path, with his body¡¯s Sword Qi once again crazily condensing: ¡°I refuse to believe that I cannot break through this Sword Path!¡±


    Very quickly, myriad Sword Qi condensed once more.


    And this time, the Sword Qi was even stronger.


    ¡°Annihting Heaven!¡± The Demon Sky Sword God shouted loudly.<div>


    Instantly, the myriad Sword Qi began to rotate, forming a spinning Sword Array that bombarded the Sword Path below.


    As the Sword Array spun, Sword Qi burst forth continuously, and the surrounding mountains hit by the burst Sword Qi instantly became riddled with holes.


    Feeling the terrifying power of the spinning Sword Array, Wu Peng¡¯s mouth was dry; such terrifying Sword Qi, even if he put on the Sky-Stepping Divine Armor, he would probably be pierced through instantly.


    Thud, thud, thud.<div>


    Finally, the spinning Sword Array collided once again with the Sword Qi of the Sword Path.


    However, no matter how much the spinning Sword Array bombarded it, the Sword Qi barrier of the Sword Path remained unchanged.


    The Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s face gradually turned ugly.


    He, the mighty Demon Sky Sword God, who had roamed the Azure God Continent for thousands of years, couldn¡¯t break through the power of a mere True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s Sword Path?


    Yang Xiaotian, unaware of these events in the Divine Dragon Empire, continued to search the ancient tomb with the Demon Ape and a few others for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s disappointment, following the direction indicated by the Undying Death God, they had not yet discovered the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    They found quite a few other treasures.


    Even when the Demon Ape and others unleashed their Soul Power to search, they did not find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    In the end, a day passed.


    The Eternal Heavenly Tomb closed, and Yang Xiaotian and the others were sent out by the power of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    Looking at the closed Eternal Heavenly Tomb, Yang Xiaotian felt rather helpless.


    He could only wait for the Eternal Heavenly Tomb to open again in a year to search for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    This Eternal Heavenly Coffin must not fall into the hands of the Undying Death God no matter what.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape and others swiftly left the burial ground.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian found a ce, took out the Innate Divine Iron and the Sword of Azure God, and began repairing the Sword of Azure God.


    Under the power of the two Divine mes, the Innate Divine Iron continuously merged into the Sword of Azure God.


    Watching the final crack in the sword body of the Sword of Azure God heal, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t contain his excitement.


    The Demon Ape and the others were both nervous and excited.


    Finally, thest sliver of a crack in the sword body healed, and the radiance flowed through the Sword of Azure God.


    Looking at the finally repaired Sword of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian was excited. After all, the Sword of Azure God holds an extraordinary significance for the Azure God Continent, and now it was finally restored.


    He channeled his True Yuan, swung out his sword, and the Sword Qi of the Sword of Azure God burst forth, ttening one mountain peak after another.


    Yang Xiaotian began practicing the Azure God Sword Technique on a whim.


    Suddenly, Sword Qi crisscrossed the heavens and earth.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s control, the Azure God Sword Qi was at times like a raging sea, at times like a fine spring rain, at times fast as light, and at times slow as a tortoise.


    Before, the Sword of Azure God had a crack, and when deploying it, it was never smooth. But now, with a set of Azure God Sword Technique executed, moves flowed like water, with no sense ofg whatsoever.


    Yang Xiaotian became more and more invigorated as he practiced,pletely engulfed in the moment.<div>


    Again and again.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure gradually disappeared, leaving only the sprawling Azure God Sword Qi.


    ¡°Is this the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm?¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s form vanish as if he had merged with Heaven and Earth, and eximed in surprise.


    ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man!¡± Seeing this, the Demon Ape also marveled. The Unity of Heaven and Man Realm is a remarkable state many seek but few find. During the practice of Divine Skills, entering the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm could drastically speed up the training, almost worthy of being described as rapidly advancing.


    Many geniuses might not reach the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm in their lifetime, yet their young master could enter it casually.


    In the Azure God Continent, probably only their young master could enter the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm so freely.


    The Demon Ape and the others knew how rare the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm was, so they did not dare disturb Yang Xiaotian and retreated to the side to guard the surroundings.


    The Azure God Sword Qi grew stronger, swallowing the sky andnd like mighty waves.


    Amidst the boundless Sword Qi, suddenly, strands of Nine-Colored Sword Qi burst forth.


    It was indeed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Nine-Colored Sword Heart.


    One, two, three, four¡­


    Soon, the power of eleven Nine-Colored Sword Hearts surged.


    Following the eleventh Nine-Colored Sword Heart, finally, the twelfth Sword Heart was ignited.<div>


    Seeing the twelfth Sword Heart Power slowly awakening, the Demon Ape and others were shaken: ¡°Twelve Sword Hearts!¡±


    Once the twelfth Sword Heart awakened, it meant that Yang Xiaotian was about to condense the twelfth Sword Heart.


    The Iceme Kylin and others were overjoyed.


    ¡°Our young master truly is the chosen one of Divine Master Hong Feng and the Lord of Azure God,¡± the Demon Ape eximed ecstatically. ¡°Our young master might even surpass Divine Master Hong Feng in the future.¡±


    Before the excited eyes of the onlookers, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s twelfth Sword Heart became increasingly solidified.

 Chapter 373: 373: Its a Pity Yang Xiaotian Isnt Here

    Chapter 373: Chapter 373: It¡¯s a Pity Yang Xiaotian Isn¡¯t Here


    Atst, the twelfth Sword Heart fully solidified.


    Twelve Sword Hearts, shining brilliantly.


    They were like twelve tiny nine-colored suns, relentlessly emittingyers uponyers of nine-colored Sword Aura.


    The mountains and rivers trembled.


    All beastsy prostrate.


    The power of the twelve Sword Hearts, supreme above all, stirred the wind and clouds, causing them to change color.


    The Azure God Sword Qi, like a boiling sea, churned incessantly.


    From a distance, it looked as though bubbles of Sword Qi were rising from the sea of swords.


    The Demon Ape and the other overlords, who had lived for many years, witnessed such an astonishing scene for the first time.


    Half a dayter.<div>


    The Azure God Sword Qi dissipated like sword mist.


    The figure of Yang Xiaotian appeared, his body pulsing non-stop with nine-colored Sword Qi, driven by the power of the twelve Sword Hearts.


    After a long while, the Sword Qi dispersed, and Yang Xiaotian returned to normal.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian, the Demon Ape and the others felt that he was different from before, a change from the inside out.


    Could it be because he had condensed twelve Sword Hearts?


    The group wondered in astonishment.


    In fact, the Demon Ape and the others were not wrong in their guess; Yang Xiaotian¡¯s transformation was indeed rted to the condensation of the twelve Sword Hearts.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian did not stay much longer and left with the group, breaking through the sky.


    Yang Xiaotian drove the Abyssal Spaceship with all his might, rushing back to the Divine Dragon Empire at high speed.


    Having been away from the Divine Dragon Empire for nearly two years, it was time to return.


    It was also an opportunity to resolve the matters of the Sky-Stepping Sect and the four Supreme Sects of the Ancient Divine Pce.


    Now that he had condensed twelve Sword Hearts, if he could find the Ancient Thunder God Sword andprehend the Ancient Thunder God Sword Path, there would be hope for him to condense the thirteenth Sword Heart.


    Then, only thest Sword Heart would remain.


    Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow of the spaceship, lost in thought.


    If he could obtain the Divine Shadow Sword from the Azure God Academy and fathom the Divine Shadow Sword Path, there was a chance to condense the final Sword Heart.


    However, he recalled the notebook of the old headmaster Cao Shun from the Divine Sword Academy mentioning that one of the ten legendary Divine Swords, the Eternal Night Sword, was in the Death Sword Tomb, so before entering the Azure God Academy, he wanted to visit the Death Sword Tomb to see if he could find the Eternal Night Sword.


    ¡°The Eternal Night Sword,¡± he murmured.


    The Eternal Night Sword was the weapon belonging to the ancient ancestor, the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, of the Eternal Night n.


    While Yang Xiaotian was contemting the matters of the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, the Immortal Demon Ancestor came next to him and mentioned that they were approaching the Dwarf Tribe, asking Yang Xiaotian if he wanted to enter the Dwarf Tribe.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and nodded.


    Consequently, the group entered the Dwarf Tribe.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Man Fang, the Dwarf n Leader, and the others naturally received him with immense joy and hospitality.


    Yang Xiaotian stayed in the Dwarf Tribe for a day and then continued on his journey back to the Divine Dragon Empire.<div>


    However, upon leaving the Dwarf Tribe, Yang Xiaotian brought Man Fang and another Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse of the Dwarf n, Man Hu, with him.


    Now that the Elf n had nearly been annihted and the Undying Death God had been severely injured, Man Fang did not need to sit in the Dwarf Tribe all the time.


    Yang Xiaotian was heading back to the Divine Dragon Empire to settle the matter with the Sky-Stepping Sect. Naturally, the more experts by his side, the better.


    After leaving the Dwarf Tribe, Yang Xiaotian went into the secret chamber of the spaceship and swallowed the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit for cultivation.


    The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, truly a Heaven and Earth Divine Medicine, seemed to have endless power, continuously surging into every corner of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian possessed the Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body, he felt as if he was about to burst.


    This sensation was very simr to the time when he devoured the soul of the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc, and his body kept swelling.


    Yang Xiaotian repeatedly activated the Primordial Dragon Art, striving to refine the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.


    Time slipped away.


    His Qi Blood was growing stronger and stronger.


    Soon, it reached a radius of three thousand miles.


    Then, four thousand miles!


    Under the influence of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s tremendous Qi Blood, the entire Abyssal Spaceship radiated an intensely strong red glow, resembling a red sun traversing through space.<div>


    Over two months passed, and finally, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit waspletely refined by Yang Xiaotian.


    And Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Qi Blood had reached an astonishing seven thousand miles!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength had broken through to the ninth level of Martial Emperor.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Qi Blood reaching a shocking seven thousand miles, the Demon Ape and others were utterly astonished, but Yang Xiaotian was frowning. Although seven thousand miles was already quite terrifying, it was still far from his ten thousand mile goal.


    He still had half of the Life Essence Fluid, enough for two months of cultivation, but even after devouring this Life Essence Fluid and undergoing bitter cultivation for two months, his Qi Blood would barely reach eight thousand miles.


    He was still short by two thousand miles.


    Therefore, he must find Divine Medicines like the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.


    Only Divine Medicines like the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit could rapidly increase Qi Blood.


    ¡°Master, the Four States Empire is just ahead,¡± stated the Azure Thunder Python suddenly.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Past the Four States Empirey the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Thinking of the impending reunion with his sister Yang Ling¡¯er, Yang Xiaotian smiled¡ªthis girl, he wondered how she was doing now.


    Almost two years had passed; she must have grown a lot, right?<div>


    He wondered if she still liked lollipops as much as before.


    This time, he bought quite a few lollipops on the way, of all sorts of vors.


    One dayter.


    The spaceship entered the Divine Dragon Empire.


    The True Dragon Divine Sect was in sight from afar.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian hurried towards the True Dragon Divine Sect, he found it strange to see that many experts from the Divine Dragon Empire were also rushing ahead, seemingly heading for the True Dragon Divine Sect as well.


    And there were a lot of them.


    This made Yang Xiaotian curious, so he stopped someone to ask if something had happened.


    The person gave Yang Xiaotian a nce, a strange look in their eyes, ¡°You¡¯re not from the Divine Dragon Empire, are you? The Demon Sky Sword God and the four Supreme Sects have been besieging the True Dragon Divine Sect for several months now, didn¡¯t you know?¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face changed dramatically upon hearing this. He instantly spurred the Abyssal Spaceship to its full capacity, and the spaceship turned into a streak of Demon Light and disappeared on the spot.


    A terrifying wave of energy blew the warrior away.


    The warrior looked towards the direction of the True Dragon Divine Sect in terror.


    What kind of spaceship was this that even the wind it generated could blow him away?<div>


    He was, after all, a powerful Martial Venerable.


    Meanwhile, the Demon Sky Sword God was still bombarding the True Dragon Divine Sect with Sword Qi as vast and boundless as the sea.


    Under his assault, the eighteen Sword Steles of the Sword Path flickered uncertainly.


    Looking at the flickering Sword Path, the Demon Sky Sword God sneered. As he had guessed before, the power of the Sword Path was not inexhaustible. As long as he continued his assault like this, the power of the Sword Path would eventually be worn down.


    From the looks of the situation, just a few more days of bombarding wouldpletely wear down the power of the Sword Path.


    Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and others also saw that the power of the Sword Path was on the verge of being worn down, and they were all inwardly pleased.


    ¡°As long as the power of the Sword Path is worn down, it will be the day when the True Dragon Divine Sect is destroyed!¡± Wu Pengughed loudly. ¡°Everyone, guard all the exits well, and don¡¯t let any disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect escape!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Wu Brother, this time, not a single disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect will escape!¡± Tang Hong said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity Yang Xiaotian isn¡¯t here,¡± Xiao Xiong mentioned.


    Wu Peng said with a smile, ¡°As long as we capture Yang Xiaotian¡¯s family, we won¡¯t have to worry about Yang Xiaotian not showing up.¡±


    Inside the True Dragon Divine Sect, seeing the power of the Sword Path about to be worn down, all the disciples were filled with fear and unease.

 Chapter 374: 374: Fight Our Way Out

    Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Fight Our Way Out


    ¡°The power of the Sword Path is going to be wiped out, ancestors, let¡¯s break out now!¡± Elder Long Hao raged.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, instead of sitting ducks, it¡¯s better for us to break out!¡± Another ancestor, Liang Yafei, also drew his sword and roared, ¡°Even if we die, we¡¯ll take people from the four Supreme Sects down with us!¡±


    One after another, the ancestors of the True Dragon Divine Sect unsheathed their swords, echoing the sentiment in rage.


    Li Zhengqing looked at Long Hao, Liang Yafei, and the others determined to fight to the death, but his brows were tightly furrowed.


    If only the people from the four Supreme Sects were outside, they might be able to fight to the death and escape, protecting a group of disciples, but now there were more than just people from the four Supreme Sects outside.


    There was also the Demon Sky Sword God!


    Looking at the figure of the Demon Sky Sword God towering above the Nine Heavens, Li Zhengqing¡¯s heart sank.


    The Demon Sky Sword God was a Sword God of his generation!


    The real dominator of the Azure God Continent.


    A single Demon Sky Sword God was more terrifying than all seventeen Divine Spirits of the four Supreme Sects.<div>


    With the Demon Sky Sword God present, no disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect could escape!


    And Heaven-Prating Peak too was filled with oppression.


    Seeing that the power of the Sword Path was about to be extinguished, Yang Chao said solemnly to the ck Dragon King, ¡°Once the power of the Sword Path is extinguished, take Ling¡¯er and run for your lives!¡±


    ¡°Run as far as you can!¡±


    The ck Dragon King solemnly nodded, ¡°Manor Lord, rest assured, even if I die, I will ensure Miss Ling¡¯er escapes!¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.


    Outside the True Dragon Divine Sect, just as the Demon Sky Sword God was about to strike the Sword Path again, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the distant horizon.


    A giant flying ship appeared on the far horizon.


    The ship was charging frantically towards them, with swirling waves of energy, boundless Demonic Qi, and limitless darkness as it approached.


    Atop this flying ship, the Demon Sky Sword God actually felt two auras that made his heart tremble.


    The Demon Sky Sword God couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked.


    At this moment, Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others also saw the huge flying ship charging crazily towards them.


    The experts from the four Supreme Sects, as well as spectators like the Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong, Li Qianqian, and others, all saw the flying ship barrelling towards them.


    ¡°What is this?!¡± Li Hong was shocked.


    As everyone watched in shock, the flying ship plowed through massive waves and appeared before them in the blink of an eye. Instead of slowing down, the speed of the ship suddenly surged, mming even more crazily towards the experts of the four Supreme Sects.


    Wu Peng¡¯s face changed drastically, and he roared, ¡°Attack!¡±


    He swung his Sky-Stepping Divine Sword.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and all the experts from the four Supreme Sects made their move.


    Seventeen Divine Spirits, nearly a thousand Saint Realm powers, bombarded the charging flying ship.<div>


    Boom!


    A thunderous impact shook the heavens.


    Just when everyone thought the flying ship was going to be blown away, it suddenly paused for a moment, then spewed out more terrifying ck light and continued charging towards the experts of the four Supreme Sects.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Wu Peng bellowed.<div>


    The experts from the four Supreme Sects were horrified and scrambled to dodge with full force.


    However, the flying ship was too fast.


    Many Saint Realm experts from the four Supreme Sects simply couldn¡¯t evade in time.


    Crack!


    Supreme Sect experts were mowed down in the charge.


    Some Saint Realm Elders were even directly blown apart by the impact with the flying ship.


    A shower of blood rained down.


    The Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong and others were so frightened that they flew away with their sect members.


    Suddenly, there were screams of terror and panic everywhere.


    After plowing through the experts of the four Supreme Sects, the flying ship continued its rampage towards the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Demon Sky Sword God let out a cold snort, his hand releasing myriad sword qi from the Demon Sky Sword, all of which bombarded the battleship.


    Myriad sword qi struck the battleship, casting a dazzling brilliance in all directions.


    A series of dense, ringing, and colossal sounds ensued.<div>


    Just the collision sounds of those myriad sword qi were enough to make the minds of all the powerful figures present buzz violently.


    Under the bombardment of the Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s myriad sword qi, the battleship was finally hit and sent flying back.


    The Green Lotus Tower Master, Li Hong, was fleeing with Li Qianqian when he suddenly saw the battleship being sted toward them; the terrifying force of the impact startled him, and he erupted with sword qi all over his body, transforming into a streak of sword qi with Li Qianqian and darting back at full speed to evade.


    Li Hong and Li Qianqian dodged it.


    The battleship collided with the masters of other sects.


    Screams rose and fell in session.


    One after another, the sect masters were sent flying.


    These sect masters, having heard that the Demon Sky Sword God intended to annihte the True Dragon Divine Sect, originally came to witness the sect¡¯s downfall and reveled in the misfortune; now, they were being struck down in droves.


    The force of the battleship¡¯s collision was such that even many of the Saint Realm Elders from the four Supreme Sects were unable to withstand it, let alone these sect masters; blood rained, dyeing the skies crimson.


    The battleship retreated several miles before finallying to a stop.


    Theplexions of many powerful figures turned pale as they collected themselves from the shock.


    At this moment, everyone clearly saw the figures on the battleship.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡±<div>


    ¡°Divine Yang!¡±


    When the crowd made out the faint blue figure on the battleship, they were all greatly surprised.


    Wu Peng¡¯s eyes filled with shock and fury upon recognizing Yang Xiaotian, and murderous intent surged: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you must die! You must!¡±


    Just now, the battleship had sted through the masters of the four Supreme Sects, causing the deaths of nearly a hundred Saint Realm Elders.


    This caused Wu Peng, Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others to feel heartache as if bleeding.


    Nearly a hundred Saint realm!


    Thest time the four Supreme Sects besieged the True Dragon Divine Sect, not even this many Saint Realm perished.


    Fury overwhelming him, Wu Peng leaped into the air and in an instant arrived above the battleship, thrusting his sword toward Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as Wu Peng¡¯s long sword was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian, the Iceme Qilin pped out a palm, and ice-blue mes surged to the heavens, sending Wu Peng tumbling away.


    Wu Peng felt his blood churning, unable to believe the sight of the Iceme Qilin, incredulous at how much stronger it had be after just two short years of separation.


    While Wu Peng was in shock and anger, the Demon Sky Sword God took a step and appeared before the battleship; he hovered in the air, looking down at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve finally appeared!¡±


    ¡°My disciple, was it you who killed him?!¡±


    While he was ny-nine percent sure that his disciple was killed by Yang Xiaotian, he still wanted to hear it from Yang Xiaotian himself.<div>


    ¡°Indeed, I killed Wei Zongyuan,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, his facial expression unchanged.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s admission, and so swiftly at that, the Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s eyes welled with murderous intent, ¡°Good, it¡¯s good that you¡¯ve admitted it! After I kill you and take your head, I will have the True Dragon Divine Sect apany my disciple in death!¡± With that, he swung his Demon Sky Sword.


    A burst of sword qi instantly tore throughyers of void and reached right in front of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat.


    Just then, out of nowhere, a heaven-shaking beast roar sounded, causing everyone¡¯s eardrums to nearly burst. A gigantic Demon Ape that reached up to the skies appeared.


    The Demon Ape hurled out a punch.


    Waves of the punch rolled forward, the demonic qi overwhelming the heavens.


    The stars scattered like a crumbling river of stars!


    The sword qi of the Demon Sky was instantly shattered by the punch.


    The force of the punch, unstoppable, roared towards the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Demon Sky Sword God was shocked, his strongest Sword Intent quickly activated, condensing into a sword body thousands of feet long to meet the soaring punch.


    A thunderous explosion sounded.


    Heaven and Earth trembled.


    Many powerful figures felt as if the strike had hit them right in their souls, their throats heated up, and they couldn¡¯t help but spew blood, including Li Hong.


    Everyone was horrified.

 Chapter 375: 375: The Divine Spirit Will Fall

    Chapter 375: Chapter 375: The Divine Spirit Will Fall


    The Demon Sky Sword God only felt a powerful force surging towards him, shaking him into a retreat, and in mid-air, he withdrew straight back for dozens of meters.


    Li Hong, Wu Peng, and everyone else who saw this scene were even more shocked.


    The Demon Sky Sword God, the overlord of the Azure God Continent, an extraordinary Sword God of his generation, was actually falling into a disadvantage!


    Though the Heartfelt Demon Ape was injured by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God in the past, the Heavenly Dragon Sword God was after all the greatest expert of the Hundred n Empire for ten thousand years.


    Even though the Demon Sky Sword God was also a Sword God of his generation, he was still somewhat inferiorpared to the Heavenly Dragon Sword God of the past.


    In terms of strength, the Heartfelt Demon Ape in its true form was slightly stronger than the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape roared to the heavens, its massive body broke through the air as it rose, and the two hundred-zhang ck Crystal Cold Iron chains in its hands were swung out, transforming into two hundred-zhang life-seeking iron swords, striking at the Demon Sky Sword God.


    The Demon Sky Sword God, watching the ck Crystal Cold Iron chains whizzing towards him, thought of a legend, and his face changed, ¡°Are you that one from Demon Ape Ridge?!¡±


    Of course, he had heard of the legend of Demon Ape Ridge.


    Back when he had just entered the Celestial Burial Academy to study, the Heartfelt Demon Ape had already been suppressed by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God on Demon Ape Ridge for many years.<div>


    Seeing that the Demon Sky Sword God had recognized him, the Heartfelt Demon Ape let out a heheugh, revealing its snow-white teeth sharp as swords, and its eyes filled with a frenzied intent to kill, ¡°Boy, you are far inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Sword God in strength.¡±


    The Demon Sky Sword God kept shing back, dodging the two hundred-zhang iron chains, his face unsightly upon hearing those words.


    Sword Qi burst forth from his entire body, and with the Demon Sky Sword in hand, he swung out a strike, eximing, ¡°To defeat you, this is enough!¡±


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape and the Demon Sky Sword God engaged in battle together.


    The fight was so intense that it darkened the skies and dimmed the earth.


    Powerful beings from all sides were shocked.


    The Demon Sky Sword God was a Sword God of his generation in the Azure God Continent, unrivaled in the Sword Dao, while the Heartfelt Demon Ape had been a ferocious Divine Beast King known for its brutality thousands of years ago, having devoured who knows how many invincibles.


    The grandeur of the two¡¯s strength caused countless powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Empire to tremble.


    Yang Xiaotian withdrew his gaze from the Demon Sky Sword God and the Heartfelt Demon Ape and looked towards the masters of the four Supreme Sects.


    Wu Peng, sensing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze, looked back at him with a gloomy face, not expecting that Yang Xiaotian would bring back such an unparalleled powerhouse.


    Just as he was about to speak, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chilling voice rang out, ¡°Kill!¡±


    Suddenly, the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python broke through the air, both transforming into their actual forms, and attacked the four Supreme Sects.


    Immediately after, Man Fang, the Dwarf n Leader, and the elder Man Hu also rose through the skies, their giant axes swung, transforming into a sky-full of axe shadows, bombarding the four Supreme Sects.


    Seeing the attacking Iceme Qilin and others, Wu Peng¡¯s face drastically changed.


    ¡°Five Divine Spirits!¡±


    ¡°How did Yang Xiaotian tame so many Divine Spirit Realm beings! Even the Dwarf Divine Spirits have been subdued! How did he do it!¡±


    In the distance, powerful beings from all sides were astonished.


    Even the Green Lotus Tower Master, Li Hong, got quite a scare.


    Those two Dwarfs beside Yang Xiaotian were actually Divine Spirit Powerhouses!<div>


    And each of their strengths was so formidable! Judging by their Divine Spirit aura, they seemed to be even stronger than Wu Peng.


    Tang Hong and the others, sensing the auras of Man Fang and Man Hu, were also greatly startled.


    ¡°Form the array, face the enemy!¡± Wu Peng roared with an outward sternness but inward apprehension, his hand wielding the Sky-Stepping Divine Sword as he struck at the Iceme Qilin first.


    The masters of the four Supreme Sects shifted their positions, forming a Grand Array.<div>


    Since theirst failed attempt against the True Dragon Divine Sect, the Sky-Stepping Sect, Ancient Divine Sect, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Mahayana Divine Sect of the four Supreme Sects had developed this Grand Array.


    This array could enhance thebat power of the four Supreme Sects¡¯ masters by twenty percent.


    However, just as the grand arrays of the four Supreme Sects had formed, suddenly, boundless ice-blue mes and a sky full of divine lightning crashed down.


    The experts of the four Supreme Sects were all sted away.


    The newly formed grand arrays copsed.


    Man Fang and Man Hu swung their huge axes, bringing forth a rain of blood. Wherever their axes passed, dozens of Saint Realm Supreme Elders from the four Supreme Sects were chopped into pieces.


    Man Fang was a powerhouse close to the third level of the Divine Spirit Realm.


    The force of his axe was not something that the Saints of the Sky-Stepping Sect could withstand.


    Seeing dozens of Saint Realm Supreme Elders of their Sect being ughtered, Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and others had blood-red eyes as they roared in rage and madly attacked the Iceme Qilin and the four people with Man Fang.


    At this moment, from within the True Dragon Divine Sect, an earth-shaking dragon roar sounded. Two figures shot up into the sky, rushing toward Wu Peng and Tang Hong¡ªit was the Tyrant Dragon and Li Zhengqing.


    The Iceme Qilin and the six people with Man Fang fought against Wu Peng, Tang Hong and the other seventeen Divine Spirits. But under the absolute power of the Iceme Qilin and the six with Man Fang, Wu Peng and the others were killed in terror, retreating step by step.


    With every swing of Man Fang¡¯s axe, there was a sh of blood.


    The ancestor of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Zhao Jinzhou, looked around as the Elders of the four Supreme Sects were continuously being in and was filled with dread. Suddenly, he turned toward Yang Xiaotian on the flying ship, and with furious rage, he burst through the air and his long sword aimed desperately at Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Yang Xiaotian, die!¡± he yelled.<div>


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor watched Zhao Jinzhou attacking coldly. Behind him, a Heavenly Demon coalesced, and with one palm, he grabbed Zhao Jinzhou, squeezing him to death.


    The Heavenly Demon opened its massive maw, and with a consuming force, it devoured all of Zhao Jinzhou¡¯s vital energy and blood.


    Seeing this, theplexions of the experts from the four Supreme Sects greatly changed.


    Another Divine Spirit!


    The middle-aged man beside Yang Xiaotian was also a Divine Spirit.


    And he was from the Demon Path¡¯s Divine Spirits.


    Li Hong and the various powerhouses sucked in the cold air when they saw Zhao Jinzhou¡¯s vital energy and blood being devoured. Looking at Yang Xiaotian and the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, none could hide their fear.


    At this moment, Li Qianqian, who had always wished for Yang Xiaotian¡¯s death, felt a chill in her limbs.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor looked at Zhao Jinzhou in his hand, whose vital energy had been devoured. He then clenched his fist, crushing Zhao Jinzhou into dust. Afterward, his gaze fell upon another Saint Realm elder from the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Seeing the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor¡¯s gaze on him, that Elder from the Sky-Stepping Sect went pale, frantically trying to flee. But he was just a step too slow, as the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor¡¯s ethereal grasp caught hold of the Elder with a Sky-Concealing Demon Hand.


    The Heavenly Demon devoured once more.


    ¡°Tang Ping!¡± Tang Hong cried out in anguish. He frantically struck at the Sky-Concealing Demon Hand, trying to save the Sky-Stepping Sect Elder.


    But it was his son!<div>


    However, with a simple palm strike from the Iceme Qilin, ice-blue mes swept across the sky and blocked Tang Hong.


    Screams filled the air.


    The Sky-Stepping Sect Elder Tang Ping was devoured madly by the Heavenly Demon, drying up continuously.


    Tang Hong roared, his state like that of a madman, but every time he attempted to strike, he was intercepted by the Iceme Qilin, the Azure Thunder Python, and he could only watch helplessly as the Sky-Stepping Sect Elder Tang Ping was devouredpletely.


    Then crushed into dust by the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Thus, all the Saint Realm members of the four Sects were either shed to pieces by Man Fang, incinerated to ashes by the Iceme Qilin, or devoured and exploded by the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    In the end, only Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and seventeen other Divine Spirits remained.


    ¡°Is this a gods¡¯ massacre?¡± Li Hong muttered to himself.


    A gods¡¯ massacre!


    The hearts of the powerhouses from the Divine Dragon Empire trembled.


    How many years had it been since a Divine Spirit from the Divine Dragon Empire had fallen? Today, were these exalted Divine Spirits about to fall?

 Chapter 376: 376 The Beginning of Slaying the Gods

    Chapter 376: Chapter 376 The Beginning of ying the Gods


    ¡°Kill!¡± Wu Peng roared in fury as he saw nearly a thousand saints from the four major Sects fall, all meeting grim deaths, all perishing without a whole corpse, bellowing, raging, madly striking out in frenzy.


    However, no matter how frantically Wu Peng and the others attacked, they were constantly suppressed by the Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python¡¯s six people.


    The more Wu Peng fought, the more he was inmed with rage, the more frenzied he became.


    And Xiaotian, controlling the power of the Sword Path, would asionally activate the eighteen Sword Steles to bombard Wu Peng and his seventeen people, leaving Wu Peng in a sorry state.


    ¡°Xiaotian, if you have the guts,e down here!¡± Wu Peng bellowed furiously, his murderous intent unruly, ¡°Let¡¯s have a one-on-one duel!¡±


    Everyone was speechless.


    Wu Peng was a Divine Spirit, yet he had the audacity to challenge a Martial Emperor to a duel. Such words, it seemed, only Wu Peng could utter.


    The Iceme Qilin looked at the frenzied Wu Peng and spoke coldly, ¡°Wu Peng, if you¡¯re brave enough, duel me!¡±


    Wu Peng was momentarily choked up.


    Seventeen Divine Spirits were at a disadvantage against the six of them, including the Iceme Qilin. If he were to duel the Iceme Qilin alone, he would surely get trounced so badly that even his own mother wouldn¡¯t recognize him.<div>


    The battle raged on.


    Sword Qi pierced the sky, Iceme enveloped everything, and Divine Thunder roared with detonation.


    The forces of the Divine Spirits, intertwining with one another, shocked everyone present.


    Li Hong stood at a great distance, his spirit wavering, his blood boiling.


    This was the power of the Divine Spirits¡ª a raise of a hand or a step could obliterate mountains and rivers, destroy cities and nations.


    This battle was even more shocking, more stirring, more exciting than the one when the four major Sects besieged the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    Especially the power of the Demon Sky Sword God and Heartfelt Demon Ape, which shook Li Hong and the others to their core.


    By now, the battle between the Demon Sky Sword God and the Heartfelt Demon Ape had reached a fever pitch. They fought above the Nine Heavens, with storms swirling and darkness boundless, as myriad Sword Qi burst out from time to time.


    However, as strong as the Demon Sky Sword God¡¯s Sword Qi was, it could only cut through the surging Demonic Qi on the Demon Ape¡¯s body, unable to inflict any harm on the Demon Ape itself.


    And every time the Demon Ape Iron Chains were swung, they forced the Demon Sky Sword God to retreat continuously. The difference in strength was clear, and if the battle dragged on, the Demon Sky Sword God was bound for defeat.


    Wu Peng also saw that it was only a matter of time before the Demon Sky Sword God lost. Panic-stricken, he wondered¡ªwho among them could withstand the Demon Ape if it turned its attention to them after defeating the Demon Sky Sword God?


    None of them could!


    Soon, they would all be killed one by one by the Demon Ape.


    Thinking about the predicament he would face in a short while, Wu Peng felt icier the more he thought about it.


    Tang Hong and the others apparently also realized this, and fear began to unsettle their hearts.


    ¡°We have to break out!¡± Wu Peng bellowed, stepping into the air and ascending, rising in a straight line upward. This was the signature Divine Skill of Sky-Stepping Sect, the Sky-Stepping Ascendancy.


    As Wu Peng stepped into the sky, an astonishing Divine Power burst forth from his figure, propelling him upwards like a rocket.


    Just as Wu Peng was about to escape, the Azure Thunder Python coldly shouted, ¡°Thunder Burst!¡± Countless Divine Thunders from the Nine Heavens sted down, exploding right above Wu Peng¡¯s head.


    Wu Peng¡¯s face turned pale as he frantically dodged backward, his Sky-Stepping Divine Sword spinning madly to form a barrier of swords.<div>


    The Nine Heaven Divine Thunder exploded upon the barrier, sting Wu Peng back to where he started.


    At that moment, Wu Peng finally realized¡ªthe Iceme Qilin and the others hadn¡¯t been fighting with all their might; they¡¯d been simply containing them, waiting for the Demon Ape to be free so they could deal with them one by one!


    Wu Peng nced at Xiaotian on the airship, noticing his cold gaze. Wu Peng was both shocked and furious.


    He looked at the Demon Sky Sword God above the Nine Heavens, then suddenly pulled out an ancient talisman.<div>


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him use the talisman to teleport!¡± Xiaotian on the airship spotted the ancient talisman in Wu Peng¡¯s hand and immediately called out.


    As Xiaotian¡¯s words fell, the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python both attacked Wu Peng simultaneously.


    In rm, Wu Peng crushed the ancient talisman in his hand.


    Instantly, the space vibrated, and his body surged with light.


    Just as Wu Peng was about to be transported thousands of miles away by spatial transmission, suddenly, the Iceme Qilin roared, its power of ice and me surged dramatically, covering the sky and engulfing the area, freezing all the surrounding space.


    As long as the space was frozen, he wanted to see how Wu Peng would use spatial transmission.


    Sure enough, Wu Peng, whose form had vanished, soon fell from the sky once more.


    Seeing that even the spatial transmission talisman had failed, Wu Peng¡¯s expression turned even uglier.


    He roared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, in this life, I will kill you!¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, you won¡¯t have the chance,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied coldly.


    Wu Peng tried to speak again but was interrupted by the Azure Thunder Python¡¯s Nine Heaven Divine Thunder.


    Tang Hong, Xiao Xiong, and others, just like Wu Peng, tried to escape countless times, but they were always interrupted by the Iceme Qilin, and Tang Hong gradually fell into despair.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!¡± Tang Hong roared furiously, with his blood essence burning and his divine power continuously rising.<div>


    Clearly, he had deployed a forbidden technique of the True Dragon Divine Sect, willing to sacrifice his blood essence to increase hisbat power.


    Xiao Xiong and others also deployed their Sect¡¯s forbidden techniques to enhance theirbat abilities.


    Watching Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others fight desperately, Yang Xiaotian stepped into the void, arriving at the Sword Path, and activated the power of eighteen Sword Steles with the Divine Elixir.


    Endless Sword Qi surged forth from the eighteen Sword Steles.


    A golden divine shadow appeared behind Yang Xiaotian.


    The moment this golden divine shadow emerged, divine might spread all around, causing the hearts of Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and everyone else to tremble with an overwhelming impulse to worship.


    Even the Demon Sky Sword God was no exception.


    The Demon Sky Sword God, filled with fear, wondered which ancient powerhouse had set up this Sword Path, possessing such divine might!


    However, the golden divine shadow was very vague, and everyone couldn¡¯t make out the appearance of the divine shadow.


    As the power of the Sword Path continued to erupt, the Demon Sky Sword God pushed back the Heartfelt Demon Ape with a single sword strike and, no longer lingering in battle, turned into a beam of sword light, vanishing into the horizon.


    Seeing the retreating Demon Sky Sword God, Wu Peng and the other seventeen despaired even more.


    Seeing the Demon Sky Sword God flee, the Heartfelt Demon Ape didn¡¯t pursue, but with one step forward, it had already reached the seventeen, swinging out a massive iron chain, which flung a Divine Spirit powerhouse of the Sky-Stepping Sect flying away.


    The Divine Spirit crashed into the distant ground, its head having been blown to pieces, and became a headless corpse.<div>


    Seeing the Divine Spirit of the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s head exploded, all the powerhouses broke out in cold sweat.


    Wu Peng and the other sixteen turned pale as ghosts.


    ¡°The God ying is beginning,¡± Li Hong said, stunned.


    What would the scene be like if Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were all ughtered?


    ¡°The Divine Dragon Empire is about to change hands!¡± murmured an old ancestor.


    If Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others were to fall, it would mean the extinction of the four great Sects; it was not just a change of hands, the verynd itself might be transformed.


    After exploding the head of the Divine Spirit Powerhouse from the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Demon Ape grinned coldly, swinging its iron chain once more.


    Soon, another shriek echoed through the air.


    Another Divine Spirit was flung away.


    Again, the head exploded.


    Seeing this, Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and the others felt a chill to the core.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, the Maha Divine Sect is willing to submit to you!¡± At that moment, an Ancestor of the Maha Divine Sect spoke in terror, ¡°We are willing to help you surround and kill Wu Peng!¡±


    <div>

 Chapter 377: 377: I Want Your Life

    Chapter 377: Chapter 377: I Want Your Life


    ¡°`


    Hearing that the Divine Spirit Powerhouse from the Mohist Divine Sect said he wanted to surrender to Yang Xiaotian and even help kill his own, Wu Peng¡¯s face turned green.


    Everyone turned their gaze toward Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice seemed to float out from the Jiuyou Cold Hell.


    Everyone shuddered involuntarily.


    The Demon Ape no longer had any reservations, swinging the Life-Reaping Iron Chain at full force towards Wu Peng and the rest.


    The Divine Spirit Powerhouse from the Mohist Divine Sect, watching the iron chaine his way, was both shocked and enraged, his face one of disbelief¡ªhe truly hadn¡¯t expected that upon their surrender to Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian would still want them dead!


    They were Divine Spirits!


    Not merely in the Saint Realm!


    They were gods!<div>


    The powerhouses from Li Hong and other factions had thought that Yang Xiaotian would be delighted to ept the Mohist Divine Sect¡¯s surrender, only to be shocked when they heard Yang Xiaotian¡¯s response was to kill.


    ¡°This is a Divine Spirit, doesn¡¯t he fear heavenly retribution?¡± an old ancestor in the crowd couldn¡¯t help but say with a trembling voice.


    In the hearts of many warriors, Divine Spirits were supreme and invible and now, not only was Yang Xiaotian going to desecrate them, he was going to kill them!


    This was nothing short of audacity!


    No sooner had the old ancestor finished speaking, than he saw the iron chain in the Demon Ape¡¯s hands instantly explode the head of the Mohist Divine Sect powerhouse who had just offered to surrender to Yang Xiaotian!


    Blood spattered across the sky.


    The body crashed in front of the various powerhouses.


    Seeing the headless corpse before them, everyone¡¯s hearts trembled.


    This was, after all, the corpse of a Divine Spirit Powerhouse.


    And to die so ipletely, so violently.


    Witnessing the Divine Spirit Powerhouse from the Mohist Divine Sect being blown up, the remaining Divine Spirit Powerhouses from the four major sects were even more terrified, while the Demon Ape roared wildly, the sound shaking the heavens, and the Demon Ape¡¯s wild intent to kill enveloped heaven and earth.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape was inherently a violent Fierce Beast. Before being suppressed, it was truly terrifying, and after being suppressed for thousands of years, its desire to kill had not abated, but instead grown stronger.


    Its iron chains continuouslyshed out, turning into two streaks of cold light, exploding one Divine Spirit after another from the four major sects.


    The red glint in its eyes grew ever stronger.


    Seeing the experts from the four major sects being blown up one after another, Wu Peng and the others had long since been scared witless, evencking the courage to attack the Demon Ape and could only think of escaping!


    But the Iceme Qilin and Man Fang were guarding the surroundings, allowing no chance for them to flee.


    Wu Peng roared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, for ughtering Divine Spirits, you will suffer heavenly retribution!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian responded coldly, ¡°Heavenly retribution? If Heaven does not amodate me, then I shall annihte Heaven!¡±


    If Heaven does not amodate me!<div>


    I shall annihte Heaven!


    Everyone¡¯s hearts were greatly shaken.


    ¡°One day, I will make it so that this sky can no longer cover my eyes! I will make it so that this earth can no longer bury my heart!¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    ¡°Good!¡± The Iceme Qilin and Azure Thunder Python roared in unison, ¡°From now on, we will follow our master, stepping upon the Nine Heavens, towering above them!¡±<div>


    The hearts of the Demon Ape and the others surged with fiery blood.


    The Demon Ape, caught up in the thrill of killing, didn¡¯t even need the iron chain anymore; it simply punched out, sting a Divine Spirit from the Ancient Divine Pce out of the fray.


    The Divine Spirit from the Ancient Divine Pce exploded in his armor, his flesh a crushed blur, and by the time hended, he was nothing more than a lump of flesh.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, don¡¯t kill me! I¡¯ll give you anything you want!¡± thest remaining Divine Spirit Powerhouse from the Ancient Divine Pce cried out in terror, his voice filled with the sound of tears.


    He regretted it.


    Regretted making an alliance with Wu Peng, agreed to Wu Peng¡¯s conditions to besiege the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    His mind had been clouded by greed.


    ¡°`


    ¡°What do I want?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice remained as indifferent as ever, ¡°I want your life!¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian say he wanted their lives, the remaining experts of the four major Sects knew Yang Xiaotian had the intent to kill them for certain and no longer hoped Yang Xiaotian would let them go, once again fighting desperately.


    However, faced with the Heartfelt Demon Ape, an existence whose ferocity had been unparalleled for thousands of years, Wu Peng and the others, no matter how desperately they fought, it was all in vain.


    Back then, the Demon Sky Sword God had in four Divine Spirits with a single sword strike.


    And the Heartfelt Demon Ape was even stronger than the Demon Sky Sword God by half a step.<div>


    No matter how desperately Wu Peng and the others fought, they couldn¡¯t escape being ughtered one by one.


    In the end, only Wu Peng remained.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape grabbed Wu Peng with one hand.


    Wu Peng, terrified and despairing, howled miserably, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, even if I end up in Hell, I will crawl out to take your life!¡±


    ¡°And devour your soul!¡±


    Listening to Wu Peng¡¯s words, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°When you were a god, I wasn¡¯t afraid of you, let alone now that you are a ghost.¡±


    Wu Peng wanted to say more, but the Demon Ape pulled sharply, and only Wu Peng¡¯s agonized scream could be heard as he was torn in half, his blood and flesh flying everywhere.


    Blood stained the Demon Ape, its body exuding a bloody aura, with Demonic Qi rising.


    Seeing Wu Peng being torn apart and killed, various powerhouses looked at the Demon Ape with fear they could hardly conceal in their hearts.


    The shock in everyone¡¯s hearts was indescribable.


    The Demon Sky Sword God along with the four major Sects¡¯ seventeen Divine Spirits, nearly a thousand from the Saint Realm, surrounded the True Dragon Divine Sect, and now, the seventeen Divine Spirits of the four major Sects, nearly a thousand from the Saint Realm, all perished!


    Only the Demon Sky Sword God escaped to see another day.


    Half a day earlier, who could have imagined such an oue.<div>


    As the experts of the four major Sects fell, Divine Artifacts and Holy Artifacts scattered on the ground, yet at this moment, no one dared toe forward to pick them up.


    Everyone looking at the strewn bodies all around was stunned for a long time.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back,¡± said Li Hong, the Green Lotus Tower Master, withplicated emotions.


    Just as Li Hong was about to lead Li Qianqian and the powerhouses of the Green Lotus Tavern away, an indifferent voice suddenly resounded, ¡°Going back? Have I said that you could leave?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words made Li Hong, Li Qianqian, and the others halt in their steps.


    A jolt went through everyone¡¯s heart.


    Li Hong took a deep breath and looked intently at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°What does Friend Yang mean?¡±


    ¡°What do I mean?¡± Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, ¡°Did you truly believe that my True Dragon Divine Sect is a ce you cane and go as you please?¡±


    The four major Sects besieged the True Dragon Divine Sect, and people like Li Hong had already concluded that the True Dragon Divine Sect was destined to be destroyed. They hade merely to revel in others¡¯ misfortune and to watch the spectacle.


    Even many people came with the idea of profiting from the fishermen¡¯s fight, wondering if they could snatch some advantage if the True Dragon Divine Sect fell.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian was equally displeased with these people.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words caused the expression of various strong beings present to change.


    Li Qianqian, who had always held herself above others because of the backing of the Green Lotus Sword Deity of the Green Lotus Tavern, had never been treated thus, and her face flushed with anger.<div>


    ¡°Without my word, whoever dares to leave, dies!¡± Yang Xiaotian scanned the hundreds of thousands of beings from the various factions.


    A tremor ran through the hearts of the gathered powerful beings.


    Li Hong opened his mouth but ultimately didn¡¯t dare to say anything.


    Shortly after, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and others began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the Divine and Holy Artifacts and Space Rings of the four major Sects.


    ¡°Brother!¡± At this moment, a tender voice arose, and a beautiful young girl flew out from the True Dragon Divine Sect toward Yang Xiaotian, throwing herself into his arms with a hug.


    The person was none other than Yang Ling¡¯er.


    Seeing Yang Ling¡¯er hugging himself, Yang Xiaotian coughed lightly. This girl, even as big as she was, still hugged him like she did before, as tens of thousands of people were watching.

 Chapter 378: 378 The Fall of the Sky-Stepping Sect

    Chapter 378: Chapter 378 The Fall of the Sky-Stepping Sect


    ¡°Girl, you¡¯ve grown so much and yet still don¡¯t know how to be embarrassed,¡± said Huang Ying as she emerged from within the True Dragon Divine Sect, apanied by Yang Chao, Xiao Jin, Luo Qing, Wu Qi, the ck Dragon King, and others.


    ¡°He¡¯s my brother, I¡¯m not ashamed at all,¡± Yang Ling¡¯erughed, lifting her head before letting go of Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled at Yang Chao and Huang Ying, ¡°Father, Mother.¡±


    ¡°Great! It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back!¡± Huang Ying approached, and as she looked at her son whom she hadn¡¯t seen for nearly two years, her eyes brimmed with tears of excitement.


    Yang Chaoughed, ¡°Youd, you¡¯ve grown so tall, soon you¡¯ll be surpassing your father.¡±


    Indeed, Yang Xiaotian had grown quite a bit in the nearly two years since theyst met.


    ¡°Young Master!¡± Xiao Jin, Luo Qing, Wu Qi, and the others came before Yang Xiaotian, all incredibly excited.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled at everyone, then took out a big handful of lollipops.


    ¡°Lollipops!¡± Xiao Jin¡¯s eyes instantly lit up.


    Yang Ling¡¯er also showed a delighted expression on her pretty face.<div>


    Seeing that his sister, who was already over 1.6 meters tall, still liked lollipops, Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°Be careful or you¡¯ll lose all your teeth and be an ugly girl.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not scared at all,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er stuck out her tongue.


    After a joyful andughter-filled reunion with his family, Yang Xiaotian immediately headed to the Sky-Stepping Sect with the Demon Ape, Iceme Qilin, and others.


    Now that Wu Peng and the others were dead, he wanted to take advantage of the momentum to uproot the Sky-Stepping Sect and the other three major sects of the Ancient Divine Pce.


    If he waited too long and word got out, he feared that the experts of the four major sects would escape.


    When Li Zhengqing, the Tyrant Dragon, Hu Nan the Sect Master of the True Dragon Divine Sect, and others learned that Yang Xiaotian was heading to the Sky-Stepping Sect, they all proceeded there as well.


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian activated the Abyssal Spaceship and sped toward the Sky-Stepping Sect with everyone.


    As for the hundreds of thousands of experts present, Yang Xiaotian had them all follow as well.


    Although Li Hong of the Green Lotus Tavern and others were reluctant, no one dared to disobey.


    Thus, under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s leadership, hundreds of thousands of powerful individuals from all directions majestically made their way to the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    At this time, the Sky-Stepping Sect was bustling and prosperous.


    Deng Qinghong and Liu Ping were instructing Hu Yue and You Yi in their swordsmanship training.


    After the Sky-Stepping Sect and the other three major sects had surrounded the True Dragon Divine Sect, Liu Ping took her daughter, Hu Yue, and defectedpletely from the True Dragon Divine Sect to join You Yi in the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    As for Deng Qinghong, he had always been a spy for the Sky-Stepping Sect, and now he had returned to his original alliance.


    Watching Hu Yue practice her swordsmanship, Liu Ping suddenly said, ¡°I wonder if the True Dragon Divine Sect has been breached yet.¡±


    Deng Qinghong nced at Liu Ping and said coldly, ¡°The message just came back this morning. Within three days, the Demon Sky Sword God will surely st open the Sword Path. Don¡¯t worry, Elder Wu Peng said that he would spare Hu Nan¡¯s life and bring him back for you to deal with personally.¡±


    He looked at You Yi with admiration, ¡°You Yi, this child, is truly a Sword Dao prodigy. At such a young age, he has already condensed seven Sword Hearts. Given time, he will surely be able to form nine Sword Hearts and be an unparalleled Swordsman of the Azure God Continent throughout the ages!¡±


    He then said, ¡°I wonder how that Yang Xiaotian is doing with his cultivation now.¡±


    You Yi stopped his swordsmanship training and came over to Deng Qinghong, saying, ¡°Elder, rest assured, if I encounter Yang Xiaotian again, I will definitely defeat him personally!¡±<div>


    He had a great confidence in himself.


    With a wave of his sword in hand, a burst of Golden me Sword Aura shot out, revealing his peak power of the Martial Ancestor tenfold level.


    ¡°Martial Ancestor tenfold peak!¡± Deng Qinghong eximed with delight, ¡°Good, very good!¡±


    For You Yi to have broken through to the Martial Ancestor tenfold peak at such a young age, his cultivation speed was undoubtedly the fastest in the history of the Sky-Stepping Sect!<div>


    Just then, a sudden thunderous rumble echoed.


    The Sky-Stepping Sect shook violently as if it were the end of the world.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?!¡± Deng Qinghong, Liu Ping, and others all looked up in shock, only to see an enormous Demon Ape towering between heaven and earth.


    With another swing of his iron chains that transformed into two giant rods, the Demon Ape fiercely bombarded the Sect Protection Array of the Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Another massive explosion sounded.


    Cracks appeared in Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Sect Protection Array, spreading continuously and covering the entire formation.


    Deng Qinghong and Liu Ping¡¯splexions drastically changed.


    The Sect Protection Array of Sky-Stepping Sect, left by the founding ancestor of the sect, was one of the strongest formations in the Divine Dragon Empire and had never been breached. But now, it could not withstand two strikes from the Demon Ape!


    Immediately afterward, the Demon Ape swung the colossal iron chains in its hands.


    ¡°Quick, get out of the way!¡± Seeing this, Deng Qinghong and Liu Ping cried out in rm, leading Hu Yue and You Yi to swiftly dodge.


    Just as they took flight, they heard the sound of Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s Sect Protection Array beingpletely shattered.


    They turned in shock only to see two colossal iron chains smashing down on the Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s main gate after breaking through the Sect¡¯s array.


    Bang!<div>


    Countless peaks of Sky-Stepping Sect exploded into the sky.


    Sand billowed everywhere.


    Countless disciples of Sky-Stepping Sect were thrown into disarray.


    The force of destruction swept towards every corner of Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Deng Qinghong, Liu Ping, and the others were also hit by the rolling wave-like force, propelled backward and crashing into the mountains, coughing up blood incessantly.


    In the midst of the million disciples of Sky-Stepping Sect screaming and fleeing in terror, a flying ship broke through the sky, with Yang Xiaotian and the Iceme Kylin among others flying out from it.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian, Tyrant Dragon, Hu Nan, and others, Deng Qinghong and Liu Ping¡¯s eyes bulged in disbelief.


    Wasn¡¯t the True Dragon Divine Sect about to be wiped out by the Demon Sky Sword God? How could Tyrant Dragon, Hu Nan, and the others appear in Sky-Stepping Sect!


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the chaos and the frantic escape of a million disciples of Sky-Stepping Sect, then ordered Green Lotus Tower Master Li Hong and several hundred thousand other Sect Masters to take the lead.


    Li Hong, seeing Yang Xiaotian daring to order him, the venerable Tower Master of Green Lotus Tavern, to be his muscle, was furious, but ultimately didn¡¯t dare to say anything and rushed towards the million disciples of Sky-Stepping Sect.


    Suddenly, the sounds of battle shook the heavens.


    Yang Xiaotian unleashed his Soul Power and quickly located Deng Qinghong, Liu Ping, and the others, then flew over with Hu Nan and the others.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian and Hu Nan approach, Deng Qinghong and Liu Ping¡¯s faces turned pale.<div>


    ¡°You all!¡± Liu Ping¡¯s lips trembled.


    ¡°You want to ask why we appear here, right?¡± Yang Xiaotian began, ¡°Let me tell you, it¡¯s no secret. Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and their seventeenpanions are all dead.¡±


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Deng Qinghong, Liu Ping, Hu Yue, and You Yi cried out in unison.


    Yang Xiaotian, uninterested in further talk with them, turned to Hu Nan and said, ¡°Sect Master Hu, I¡¯ll leave them to you to deal with.¡± Having said that, he took the Iceme Kylin and others, soaring away towards Sky-Stepping Sect¡¯s treasury.


    Hu Nan, holding the True Dragon Sword, walked towards Liu Ping, Hu Yue, and the others.


    Half a dayter.


    The Demon Ape punched out, sending roaring waves of force towards the ends of the heavens, as countless peaks and pces of Sky-Stepping Sect were simultaneously blown away.


    Under the watchful eyes of the experts from the various Sects, the main gate of Sky-Stepping Sect was leveled to the ground.


    Truly ttened!


    Sky-Stepping Sect, the number one Sect of the Divine Dragon Empire, was thus wiped out!


    ¡°Friend Yang, now that Sky-Stepping Sect is destroyed, can we leave?¡± Li Hong, having returned bloodied from battle, asked Yang Xiaotian, holding back his rage.


    ¡°Leave?¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°No hurry, we¡¯ll leave after Ancient Divine Pce, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Mahavairocana Divine Sect are all wiped out. Then, I will personally escort Tower Master Li back to Green Lotus Tavern.¡±


    Li Hong nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this.<div>


    Turns out, Yang Xiaotian expected them to continue being his enforcers, attacking Ancient Divine Pce, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and the Mahavairocana Divine Sect!


    Having fought against Sky-Stepping Sect, half of Green Lotus Tavern¡¯s experts had already died or been injured. If they were to wait until after attacking Ancient Divine Pce, Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, and Mahavairocana Divine Sect, almost all of Green Lotus Tavern¡¯s experts would likely be dead.

 Chapter 379: 379: Ancient Thunder God Sword

    Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Ancient Thunder God Sword


    ¡°`


    But Li Hong, even if fuming or spitting blood with anger, could only swallow his blood back down and obediently continue attacking the Ancient Divine Pce with the other sect¡¯s experts.


    After attacking the Ancient Divine Pce, Yang Xiaotian immediately went without rest to attack both the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect and the Maha Divine Sect.


    For a time, the attacks made the Divine Dragon Empire shatter and quake, instilling ceaseless panic in the hearts of all the super sects in the surrounding empires.


    A hundred yearster, the heavyweight figures of the Divine Dragon Empire would still tremble uncontrobly whenever they recalled the annihtion of the four super sects, saying that for the days when Divine Yang returned, the skies of the Divine Dragon Empire were dyed blood-red.


    After eradicating the four sects of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Yang Xiaotian returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect with the Demon Ape and others.


    Yang Xiaotian also, as promised, allowed the Green Lotus Tower Master and other people to leave.


    The Green Lotus Tower Master and others escaped as if they had been granted a lease on life, fleeing as far as they could.


    Originally, when attacking the Sky-Stepping Sect, there were over 400,000 strong warriors from all sides.


    But after attacking the Maha Divine Sect, fewer than 100,000 of these experts remained.<div>


    Over one hundred experts from the Green Lotus Tavern went, and less than twenty returned.


    When Li Hong returned to the Green Lotus Tavern with the remaining experts, his heart was bleeding.


    These hundred-plus experts were all formidable figures who could sit tight in a region for the Green Lotus Tavern, almostpletely wiped out!


    ¡°Grandfather, Yang Xiaotian has gone too far! We must have the Sword God Grandmaster seek justice for us!¡± Li Qianqian said with a mixture of hatred and anger.


    The Sword God Grandmaster she referred to was none other than the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    Taking a deep breath, Li Hong said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already had someone report the events at the Green Lotus Tavern to our master, and the master along with the experts from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect will surely preserve the justice for our Green Lotus Tower Master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Qianqian became excited, ¡°When are the Grandmaster and the strong warriors from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect likely toe to the Divine Dragon Empire?¡±


    ¡°It should be about two to three months,¡± Li Hong said.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect, where a celebration was in full swing.


    ¡°The Divine Son is invincible!¡±


    ¡°The Divine Son is invincible!¡±


    Disciples from various peaks and halls of the True Dragon Divine Sect looked at the returning figure of Yang Xiaotian, shouting excitedly as if they were mad.


    From this day forward, these disciples revered Yang Xiaotian as they would a god.


    No, their reverence and worship of Yang Xiaotian now surpassed that of a god.


    The Heaven-Prating Peak was especially lively, with joy and celebration everywhere.


    Even Xiao Jin, licking a lollipop, was licking twice as fast as usual.


    It also made a chirping noise.


    Naturally, the True Dragon Divine Sect could not do without holding a feast to celebrate Yang Xiaotian¡¯s return.


    The feaststed tillte at night.<div>


    The next day.


    Yang Xiaotian started cultivating Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    Now that he had condensed twelve Sword Hearts, he nned to visit the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion today to seek the Ancient Thunder God Sword.


    Therefore, after having breakfast with his family in the morning, Yang Xiaotian took the Abyssal Spaceship to the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion in the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.<div>


    This time, he didn¡¯t bring anyone with him.


    With the Abyssal Spaceship¡¯s speed, as long as he found the Ancient Thunder God Sword, he could be back at the True Dragon Divine Sect on the same day.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Withered Stone Ridge in the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    Because of the Thunder God Cave, Withered Stone Ridge had changed a lot in just two years, with numerous sects having built pces there, countless disciples from various sects entering the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion every day.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Thunder God Cave, it was bustling with more people than when he first came.


    Originally, only those below the Martial Ancestor level could enter the Thunder God Cave, but after Yang Xiaotian hadprehended Thunderp Nine Heavens, he was able to enter the Thunder God Cave Mansion smoothly, enveloped in the power of the Thunderp Nine Heavens.


    Once inside, Yang Xiaotian headed straight for the pce that he hadn¡¯t been able to open before.


    When Yang Xiaotian reached the pce, he saw that it was surrounded by quite a crowd.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian walked straight to the pce gates and then activated Thunderp Nine Heavens. With a flick of his finger as if it were a sword, he unleashed hundreds of Thunder Light Swords, bombarding the pce doors.


    The doors, which had shown no response before, trembled violently as the light pulsed and thunder resonated, slowly beginning to open.


    The surrounding people were stunned.


    Since the emergence of the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion, years had passed, and countless disciples had tried all manner of methods to no avail¡ªthey could not budge these pce doors.<div>


    And now, this youth in blue arrives and opens them?


    It was as if the pce belonged to him.


    Seeing the doors open, Yang Xiaotian also breathed a sigh of relief.


    Gazing at the pce doors now ajar, Yang Xiaotian felt a mix of nervousness and unease. Just as he was about to step inside, suddenly, a figure shed before him, and a young man dressed in a Dragon Robe blocked Yang Xiaotian¡¯s path.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± the young man spoke, ¡°Young brother, this Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion is a property of the Unparalleled Royal Family, and you cannot go in.¡±


    Hearing the young man im the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion as the property of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom¡¯s royal family and that he could not enter, Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Your royal family¡¯s property? Zhu Xuan said the same thing, that the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion was his.¡±


    ¡°But in the end, I sted him into a dog!¡±


    As Yang Xiaotian spoke these words, he threw out a punch and sent the young member of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom¡¯s royal family flying.


    The faces of the other disciples changed.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the other disciples, then stepped into the pce.


    The pce doors slowly closed behind him.


    Once inside the pce, he found it wasn¡¯t veryrge¡ªonly about two to three hundred square meters. In the center of the pce, there was an iron box with a jade vase beside it, and nothing else.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the iron box, which was sealed shut with a restrictive force. He tried to open it with the power of Thunderp Nine Heavens.<div>


    Indeed, the sealed iron box opened.


    When the box was opened, insideid a sword with thunderous light flickering along its de.


    Seeing the iron sword, Yang Xiaotian smiled; the Ancient Thunder God Sword was indeed here!


    He had finally found the Thunder God Sword!


    The thirteenth Sword Heart was within reach!


    In excitement, he immediately started practicing Thunderp Nine Heavens in the pce, holding the Thunder God Sword in his hand.


    Suddenly, thunder surged around him.


    Under the pull of the Thunder God Sword¡¯s power, the entire Thunder God Cave pulsated with waves of thunder, each stronger than thest. This extraordinary phenomenon took all the powerful beings by surprise.


    ¡°Why is the Thunder God Cave suddenly showing such a phenomenon?¡±


    ¡°Someone has received the Thunder God inheritance and triggered the power of the Thunder God Cave!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Who received the Thunder God inheritance?¡±


    The news that someone had received the Thunder God inheritance quickly spread, and the masters from all the major sects and families of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom were astonished and rushed towards the Thunder God Cave Mansion.<div>


    Meanwhile, inside the pce, Yang Xiaotian practiced Thunderp Nine Heavens over and over again.


    He continuously contemted the Thunder God Sword Path.


    His body was wrapped in a cocoon of thunderous Sword Qi, which grew more and more concentrated, much like when he practiced the Azure God Sword Path. Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure disappeared from the great hall.


    He seemed to merge with heaven and earth, bing one with the thunderous Sword Qi.


    Time passed, and amidst the thunderous Sword Qi, streaks of nine-colored sword light began to blossom.


    Soon, the power of twelve Sword Hearts awakened.


    Then came the thirteenth Sword Heart.


    When the thirteenth Sword Heart lit up, a fearsome Sword Force swept across heaven and earth. Under the sweep of this Sword Force, all the masters from the various sects and major families who hade from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom felt their souls tremble.

 Chapter 380: 380: The Only God of the Divine Dragon Empire

    Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Only God of the Divine Dragon Empire


    ¡°What kind of sword force is this, so terrifying like this?¡± The experts of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, looking at the Ancient Divine Cave Mansion, all had faces filled with fright.


    As the Sword Qi of thunder in the great hall grew stronger, the thirteenth Sword Heart became more solidified, and the power of the sword became more overwhelming. Above the Thunder God Cave, lightning condensed into several Thunder Dragons, the terrifying pressure suffocating the experts from various sects.


    Inside the great hall, the thunderous Sword Qi filled the entire space.


    This thunderous Sword Qi, at times violent, was like a nine heavens thunder beast roaring through heaven and earth, and at other times extremely docile, like a breeze caressing one¡¯s face.


    Time passed by.


    The thirteenth Sword Heart finally becamepletely solidified.


    The nine-colored sword aura bloomed.


    Heaven and earth shook.


    In the present-day Azure God Continent, even the strongest Sword God only condensed ten Sword Hearts.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian had condensed thirteen!<div>


    Thirteen Invincible Sword Hearts.


    If word got out, it will not only shake the Azure God Continent.


    Inside the great hall, under the illumination of the thirteen Invincible Sword Hearts, the thunderous Sword Qi gradually weakened, and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure re-emerged in the great hall.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, with the Sword Qi of thunder flowing like water around his body. These streams of thunderous Sword Qi were like rivulets of thunderous water, flowing endlessly.


    Yang Xiaotian opened his palm, only to see the Sword Qi of thunder flow onto his hand, condensing into a sphere of thunderous Sword Qi.


    Then, with a flick of his finger,


    suddenly, the sphere of thunderous Sword Qi shot out explosively, piercing through countless pces of the Thunder God Cave, and eventually striking a peak at the Withered Stone Ridge.


    The peak was sted through without any suspense.


    The experts from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, watching the shattered peak, were all struck with shock and fear.


    Yang Xiaotian carefully put away the Thunder God Sword and looked at a jade bottle next to it. Curious, he opened the jade bottle, and immediately a shocking thunderous energy surged up, an overwhelming power of thundering forth, disying various phenomena.


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water of the ninth level!¡± Master Ding eximed excitedly.


    Yang Xiaotian also looked at the jade bottle in front of him with a face full of astonishment.


    He had never expected to find Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water inside the jade bottle.


    And the space inside the jade bottle was not small; it contained what seemed to be seventy to eighty measures of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!


    After the surprise, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    Last time, to heavily injure the Undying Death God, Master Ding had used thest measure of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water he had. These days, Yang Xiaotian had been searching for and inquiring about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    And here it was, in the Thunder God Cave.


    Back at the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, the Undying Death God, having sustained heavy injury, had left a threatening message, swearing he would definitelye back for him.


    These days, Yang Xiaotian had been on tenterhooks.<div>


    Now, with so much Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he no longer had to worry about the Undying Death Goding back.


    Yang Xiaotian cherished the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water in the jade bottle a hundredfold more and stored it carefully.


    He searched the great hall once more, and after confirming there were no other items, he opened the great doors and walked out.


    The disciples outside were still there.<div>


    Seeing Yang Xiaotiane out, everyone instinctively stepped back in surprise.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t pay attention to the crowd and walked toward the cave¡¯s main entrance.


    Outside the Thunder God Cave, the Unparalleled Royal Family disciple who was previously sted away by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch was nowining to Crown Prince Liu Yuan of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom.


    Just as he wasining, suddenly, they saw a blue figure walk out from inside the cave.


    ¡°Big brother, it¡¯s him! He¡¯s the one who sted me!¡± that Unparalleled Royal Family disciple immediately shouted.


    Liu Yuan and everyone else looked over.


    Seeing the blue figure, Liu Yuan felt as if struck by sudden thunder, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end and his eyes to show nothing but endless fear. He fell to his knees with a thud, lying prostrate on the ground, clinging tightly to the surface and trembling uncontrobly, ¡°Liu Yuan has seen Lord Divine Yang!¡±


    Lord Divine Yang!


    Seeing Liu Yuan suddenly prostrating on the ground and calling the young man before him Lord Divine Yang, all of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom¡¯s experts were shocked.


    That disciple from the Unparalleled Royal Family was even more terrified to the point of nearly fainting.


    A few days ago, Divine Yang had returned and ughtered seventeen Divine Spirits of Wu Peng! The news had already spread throughout all of the royal families and sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Now, who in the Divine Dragon Empire doesn¡¯t know about Divine Yang?


    Now, who in the Divine Dragon Empire doesn¡¯t know that Divine Yang is the terminator of Divine Spirits!<div>


    ¡°Lord Divine Yang!¡± After a shock, the experts of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom knelt down, prostrating themselves on the ground, and many of the empire¡¯s experts excitedly shouted as if they were worshipping a supreme deity.


    With Divine Yang¡¯s return after ying seventeen Divine Spirits of Wu Peng, to many experts of the Divine Dragon Empire, Yang Xiaotian was now the only god.


    In the hearts of many experts within the Divine Dragon Empire, Yang Xiaotian was their only god.


    Therefore, many experts and disciples at the scene even started crying.


    Crying with excitement for being able to see Yang Xiaotian in person.


    These were tears of happiness.


    Now, with the noble status that Yang Xiaotian held, it was something many martial artists in the Divine Dragon Empire could hardly hope to behold.


    They felt supremely honored to have seen Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian saw that all the experts from the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom were prostrating themselves on the ground, many of them crying with emotion, and he couldn¡¯t help but be astonished; he had not expected these experts to worship him with such fervent adoration.


    In fact, Yang Xiaotian had underestimated his own influence.


    Who was Wu Peng?


    He was known as one of the two most powerful Divine Spirits in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Previously, Wu Peng had been regarded by the martial artists of the Divine Dragon Empire as the highest and most unshakable.<div>


    But Yang Xiaotian had cleansed the four major sects of Wu Peng, Tang Hong, and seventeen divine spirits, an astonishing heroic feat.


    Even though it wasn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian who had personally taken action, this still did not prevent countless martial artists within the Divine Dragon Empire from worshipping him fervently.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the disciple from the Unparalleled Royal Family and said to Liu Yuan, ¡°Is he your brother?¡±


    Liu Yuan trembled, ¡°Yes, my brother, he didn¡¯t know of you, Lord Divine Yang, and offended you. I beg you to spare his life, and forgive our Unparalleled Royal Family line!¡±


    Hearing Liu Yuan ask for forgiveness for the Unparalleled Royal Family line, Yang Xiaotian was speechless; it didn¡¯t seem that serious, did it?


    He said to Liu Yuan and the others, ¡°Everyone, please rise.¡± After speaking, he soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Farewell, Lord Divine Yang!¡± The experts of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom cried out excitedly.


    After leaving the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom, Yang Xiaotian rushed back to the True Dragon Divine Sect without stopping.


    When he arrived at Heaven-Prating Peak, it was deep into the night.


    Heaven-Prating Peak was still brightly lit, with his parents Huang Ying, Yang Chao, and his sister Yang Ling¡¯er all standing in front of the pce gate, looking anxious. It was clear that everyone was worried because Yang Xiaotian had not returned for a long time.


    Seeing this scene warmed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    In his previous life, he had a family that loved him, and in this life, he was just as blessed to have a family that loved him!


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian went nowhere but stayed to cultivate at Heaven-Prating Peak.<div>


    Every day, he consumed Life Essence Fluid and sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art, diligently increasing his qi and blood.


    A monthter, seeing that the increase in qi and blood was still too slow, Yang Xiaotian switched to using ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Every day, he consumed a mouthful of Life Essence Fluid and a mouthful of ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    Under the effect of ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s qi and blood were rapidly increasing at an astonishing rate.

 Chapter 381: 381: Come with me to see Young Master Yang

    Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Come with me to see Young Master Yang


    With the enhancement of his vitality, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength also steadily improved.


    Originally at the ninth level of Martial Emperor, Yang Xiaotian steadily broke through to the tenth level.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vitality also reached eight thousand li.


    Seeing such astonishing effects from the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water of the nine heavens, Yang Xiaotian experienced joy mingled with pain.


    It should be known that each gulp of the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water was a treasure, capable of inflicting serious damage on the Undying Death God with a single gulp, and one less gulp remained with each use.


    In the future, it would be difficult for Yang Xiaotian to find more Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water.


    In addition to practicing the Primordial Dragon Art to enhance his vitality, Yang Xiaotian also spent time every day flipping through the Sky-Stepping Sword Technique, the Ancient Divine Sword Technique, the Subduing Dragon Sword Technique, and the Mahayana Sword Technique.


    Having previously destroyed four major sects, he not only obtained their treasuries but also all their martial arts manuals.


    However, to go through all the secret tomes and divine skills of the four major sects would take an unknown amount of time, so Yang Xiaotian mainly focused on the most powerful sword techniques of the four sects.


    Perhaps due to the condensation of thirteen Sword Hearts, Yang Xiaotian found it extremely easy toprehend techniques like the Sky-Stepping Sword Technique and the Ancient Divine Sword Technique, almost grasping them at a nce.<div>


    During the day, besides practicing swordsmanship, Yang Xiaotian mainly spent time with his family and asionally offered guidance on their cultivation.


    Two years passed, and both his father and mother had broken through to the Innate Realm, stepping into the Martial King Realm.


    As for his sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, her improvement was even more astonishing.


    Autumn passed, and winter arrived.


    Another year deep into winter.


    Snow nketed everything in white.


    Yang Xiaotian practiced the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, Thunderp Nine Heavens, Azure God Sword Technique, and Thousand Buddha Sword Technique once again on the back mountain, and then reviewed all the sword techniques he had practiced before.


    The Burying Heaven Sword Technique, the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, the Skywalking Thousand Swords¡ªall sorts of Supreme Divine Powers were disyed in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands.


    Towards the end, Yang Xiaotian even mixed the moves of all the sword techniques, one strike being from the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, and the next from the Skywalking Thousand Swords.


    The third strike shifted to a move from the Burying Heaven Sword Technique.


    Yang Xiaotian was not confined to any particr form; he waspletely immersed in the world of swordsmanship. Each sword technique he wielded came as naturally as if ordained by heaven, without the slightest hint of stiffness or awkwardness.


    Through practicing various swordsmanship techniques, Yang Xiaotian gained new insights into swordsmanship.


    Only in the evening did Yang Xiaotian stop.


    Looking at the snowy world before him, there was now a jade pendant in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand¡ªthe Heavenly Dragon Pendant that Long Qingxuan had given him in the Red Moon Forest.


    This time, he thought he would be able to meet Long Qingxuan upon his return, but Long Jiyi and Long Lan told him that after he left the Divine Dragon Empire thest time, Long Qingxuan was taken away by the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint and was now following the Sword Saint for cultivation.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint is one of the two great female sword saints of the Azure God Continent at present, and Yang Xiaotian was happy for Long Qingxuan being able to follow the Sword Saint in cultivation.


    ¡°Brother,¡± at this time, his sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, came up behind Yang Xiaotian and teasingly said, ¡°Thinking of Sister Qingxuan again?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded his head.


    Yang Ling¡¯erughed and said, ¡°Then you could go to the Hundred Flowers Divine Mountain to find Sister Qingxuan.¡± Then she winked, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect has quite a few male disciples.¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian tapped on her forehead, ¡°You little imp.¡±


    Yang Ling¡¯er stuck out her tongue, took Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arm, and said with augh, ¡°Mother asked me toe get you. She made your favorite pastries. Let¡¯s go back and eat.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, ¡°All you know is eating, you¡¯ve even gotten chubby since I returned.¡±


    These days his mother, Huang Ying, had been making various pastries for him and his sister almost every day.<div>


    The two siblings made their way back to the pce, chatting andughing all the while.


    In just half a month, the New Year would arrive, and Yang Xiaotian nned to spend it with his family before heading to the Myriad Gods Empire to participate in the Azure God Academy¡¯s examination.


    The Azure God Academy gathered the most top-notch and monstrous geniuses from hundreds of empires across the Azure God Continent, and Yang Xiaotian too wanted to witness these supreme talents of the various great empires of the Azure God Continent.


    Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian would be going to the Azure God Academy after the New Year, Yang Ling¡¯er pouted and said she wanted to go too.


    Seeing that his parents also looked forward with anticipation, Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, once he joined the Azure God Academy and everything settled down, he would send Old Meng back to fetch everyone.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was considering his post-New Year trip to the Azure God Academy, the Divine Dragon Empire received some unexpected guests¡ªthe Green Lotus Sword Deity himself had arrived!


    Besides the Green Lotus Sword Deity, apanying him was Liu Xingyu, the old ancestor of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect from the Buddha Source Empire.


    The return of the Green Lotus Sword Deity soon spread throughout the Divine Dragon Empire, stirring it significantly, as the Green Lotus Sword Deity was the sole sword god powerhouse that the Divine Dragon Empire had ever produced, the absolute glory and pride of the empire.


    ¡°I heard that some days ago, Yang Xiaotian made the experts of the Green Lotus Tavern act as enforcers to attack the four great sects, causing the Green Lotus Tavern to lose over a hundred of its high-level experts. This time, Tavern Master Li Hong has invited the Green Lotus Sword Deity to return to take charge for the Green Lotus Tavern!¡±


    ¡°Although the Green Lotus Tavern was founded by Li Dong, he was a direct disciple of the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and the Green Lotus Sword Deity is likely unable to swallow this insult!¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Green Lotus Sword Deity ns to engage in a great battle with Divine Yang?¡±


    ¡°Between the Green Lotus Sword Deity and that one from Demon Ape Ridge, who is stronger, who is weaker? It seems that even the old ancestor of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect hase this time.¡±


    The powerhouses from various factions within the Divine Dragon Empire spected.<div>


    Meanwhile, inside the grand hall of the Green Lotus Tavern, Liu Xingyu was shaken to his core, staring fixedly at Li Hong: ¡°What did you say? Yang Xiaotian?!¡±


    Seeing Liu Xingyu¡¯s reaction, Li Hong, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and the others felt puzzled.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Yang Xiaotian!¡± Li Hong said: ¡°Somehow Yang Xiaotian has tamed that Demon Ape from Demon Ape Ridge. With the Demon Ape¡¯s power, he has wantonly killed the innocent, forcing our Green Lotus Tavern¡¯s experts to serve as his enforcers to attack the four great sects!¡±


    ¡°He caused our Green Lotus Tavern to lose over a hundred of our top-level experts who were stationed in various locations!¡±


    ¡°We implore the Sword Deity and the Divine Master of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect to take charge for our Green Lotus Tavern!¡±


    Upon hearing Li Hong speak of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s wanton killing, Liu Xingyu was furious, suddenly mming his palm down and shattering the table: ¡°How audacious! How presumptuous!¡±


    It should be known that Yang Xiaotian was now the new Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect! Li Hong actually dared to use their Sect Hierarch of wanton killing! Was he seeking death?


    Liu Xingyu¡¯s sudden rage startled Li Hong, Li Dong, and the rest significantly.


    Li Hong was trembling and at a loss, not understanding why Liu Xingyu suddenly became so furiously enraged.


    Even the Green Lotus Sword Deity was deeply surprised; he was a nominal disciple of Divine Master Hong Feng, while Liu Xingyu was the strongest old ancestor of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect on the Azure God Continent¡ªthey could be considered old friends. The Green Lotus Sword Deity had rarely seen Liu Xingyu so angry.


    ¡°Brother Liu, why are you¡­?¡± the Green Lotus Sword Deity couldn¡¯t help but ask with confusion.


    Liu Xingyu suppressed his anger and said to the Green Lotus Sword Deity, ¡°Qingxuan, there are some things that I cannot tell you right now.¡±


    Without Yang Xiaotian¡¯smand, he dared not reveal Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity.<div>


    He turned to Li Hong and coldly said, ¡°From now on, whoever dares to disrespect Young Master Yang is disrespecting my Heaven-Prating Divine Sect!¡±


    ¡°Death without mercy!¡±


    Death without mercy!


    Li Hong, Li Dong, and the others couldn¡¯t help but turn pale.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity was even more astonished.


    ¡°Qingxuan, you and I will go see Young Master Yang right now,¡± said Liu Xingyu to the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    ¡°Now?¡± The Green Lotus Sword Deity nced at the sky, realizing it was already deep into the night.


    ¡°Now!¡± Liu Xingyu affirmed decisively.

 Chapter 382: 382 Liu Xingyu Meets the Sect Hierarch

    Chapter 382: Chapter 382 Liu Xingyu Meets the Sect Hierarch


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity saw that Liu Xingyu looked serious and became even more curious. He nodded, ¡°Alright, I will go with you to see Yang Xiaotian now.¡± Saying so, he and Liu Xingyu got up.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity instructed Li Dong, Li Hong, and the others to wait at the Green Lotus Tavern for his message.


    Under the respectful escort of Li Dong, Li Hong, and the others, the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu soared into the sky, vanishing from the crowd¡¯s sight in the blink of an eye.


    Li Hong watched as the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu left and for some reason, had a bad premonition.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu turned into two sword lights, slicing through theyers of night, rapidly approaching the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    At their full speed, they finally arrived at the mountain gate of the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The patrolling disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect did not recognize the Green Lotus Sword Deity. Upon their arrival, they were suddenly rmed.


    When they realized that the person in front of them was none other than the Green Lotus Sword Deity, the True Dragon Divine Sect disciples were shocked and pale, hurrying to bow respectfully before rushing off to report to Sect Master Hu Nan.


    Upon hearing that the Green Lotus Sword Deity had arrived, Hu Nan was also greatly startled, quickly instructing his people to report to the ancestor Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon, before he himself led a group of elders to eagerly greet the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    At the same time, Hu Nan felt uneasy in his heart.<div>


    He had also heard some news about the Green Lotus Sword Deitying back to hold the Green Lotus Tavern to ount, and he wondered if the Sword Deity hade in the dead of night for this.


    Upon hearing of the Green Lotus Sword Deity¡¯s arrival, both Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon also hastily came out from their caves to meet the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity introduced Liu Xingyu¡¯s identity to Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan.


    When Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan heard that the person before them was the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect Master Liu Xingyu, they were equally startled and hurriedly exchanged greetings.


    Seeing Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan¡¯s uneasiness, Liu Xingyu said, ¡°Wee with no ill intentions; we simply wish to meet Young Master Yang.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Zhengqing and Hu Nan¡¯s tensions eased.


    So, they promptly led the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu towards Heaven-Prating Peak.


    Upon arriving at Heaven-Prating Peak, Liu Xingyu¡¯s face became tense.


    He said to Li Zhengqing, ¡°Brother Li, it is alreadyte at night, let¡¯s not disturb Young Master Yang now. How about we wait here tonight and go to see Young Master Yang when it gets light tomorrow?¡±


    Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon were astonished.


    Wait until tomorrow?


    Liu Xingyu and the Green Lotus Sword Deity were going to wait here overnight?


    Just then, suddenly, a voice floated out from within Heaven-Prating Peak, ¡°Come in.¡±


    It was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice.


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice, Liu Xingyu was shaken and quickly bowed, saying, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Seeing Liu Xingyu¡¯s extremely respectful demeanor, Li Zhengqing, the Tyrant Dragon, and the others were stunned, even the Green Lotus Sword Deity was bewildered, not understanding what Liu Xingyu was up to.


    Thus, Liu Xingyu and the Green Lotus Sword Deity entered Heaven-Prating Peak.


    When Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon also wanted to follow, Liu Xingyu stopped them, stating that he did not want others present when he met Yang Xiaotian.


    Hearing this, Li Zhengqing and the Tyrant Dragon could only wait outside.<div>


    Seeing this, the Green Lotus Sword Deity was even more puzzled.


    Liu Xingyu and the Green Lotus Sword Deity entered Heaven-Prating Peak and walked into the pce.


    Once they entered the pce, they saw a young man with a tall stature standing in the grand hall.


    The young man¡¯s eyes shone like the stars, and just by standing there, he exuded an overwhelming presence¡ªit was none other than Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    As soon as Liu Xingyu saw Yang Xiaotian, he was taken aback, quickly stepping forward and kneeling before Yang Xiaotian, excitedly saying, ¡°Liu Xingyu pays respect to Sect Hierarch, may the Sect Hierarch live forever!¡±


    Liu Xingyu pays respect to Sect Hierarch!


    Myriad blessings to the Sect Hierarch!


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity looked at Liu Xingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, and was shocked as he turned his gaze to the youth before him.


    It¡¯s Yang Xiaotian! He¡¯s with the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect?!


    ¡°Brother Liu, he is?!¡± The Green Lotus Sword Deity still couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Liu Xingyu nodded solemnly to the Green Lotus Sword Deity.


    With Liu Xingyu¡¯s confirmation, the Green Lotus Sword Deity took a deep breath, looked at the youth before him, stepped forward excitably, and bowed: ¡°Green Lotus has seen the Sect Hierarch!¡±


    As a registered disciple of Divine Master Hong Feng, he was naturally a disciple of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, and he held a high position within the sect.


    Yang Xiaotian said to Liu Xingyu, ¡°Guardian Liu, there¡¯s no need for such formality.¡± Then he let Liu Xingyu get up, came in front of the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and personally helped him up: ¡°Senior Brother, there¡¯s no need for such formality.¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian address him as Senior Brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity still couldn¡¯t suppress his excitement. Looking at Yang Xiaotian before him, he said with emotion, ¡°Good, good! The master¡¯s mantle finally has a sessor! It is a fortune for our Heaven-Prating presence and for the Myriad Swords Continent!¡±


    Years ago, at the Wangtian Peak of the Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s battle with Wei Zongyuan, showcasing their two Divine Elixirs, left asting impression on the Green Lotus that he would never forget. He hadn¡¯t expected that Yang Xiaotian would turn out to be the new Sect Hierarch of his Heaven-Prating Divine Sect!


    This made the Green Lotus Sword Deity incredibly excited.<div>


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian, Liu Xingyu, and the Green Lotus Sword Deity talked about matters concerning the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity said respectfully to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Hierarch, the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect still needs you to return and take control of the situation.¡±


    Divine Master Hong Feng had been away from the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect for many years, and the vast undercurrents within the great sect were now surging tumultuously; there was an urgent need for the new Hierarch Yang Xiaotian to return.


    Regarding the affairs of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect, Liu Xingyu had mentioned them to Yang Xiaotian before. Yang Xiaotian contemted and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a few more years.¡±


    His power was still weak, and he was afraid that he might not be able tomand authority.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian nned to wait a few more years until his power had increased before he took charge of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect on the Myriad Swords Continent.


    At the very least, he had to be a Great Emperor and gather the fourteen strongest strands of Heavenly Fate before taking charge of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect; by then, he might barely be able tomand respect.


    Knowing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s decision, neither the Green Lotus Sword Deity nor Liu Xingyu dared to insist further.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the whereabouts of Divine Master Hong Feng.


    Shaking his head, the Green Lotus Sword Deity said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen my master for many years now.¡±


    Outside Heaven-Prating Peak, Li Zhengqing and Tyrant Dragon saw that the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu entered Heaven-Prating Peak and hadn¡¯te out for a long time, with no sign of activity, and they couldn¡¯t help but feel astonished and doubtful.


    Just as the two of them were conjecturing about what the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu were discussing with Yang Xiaotian in the dead of night, they saw two figures fly out from inside Heaven-Prating Peak; it was indeed the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu.


    Seeing the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyue out, Li Zhengqing and hispanion hurried forward to meet them.<div>


    Upon seeing Li Zhengqinging over, the Green Lotus Sword Deity smiled at him and said, ¡°Young Brother Li, from now on, True Dragon Divine Sect and Green Lotus Tavern must be much closer.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhengqing was overjoyed and astonished, ¡°Rest assured, Green Lotus Deity, True Dragon Divine Sect will certainly live up to your expectations.¡±


    After that, the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Li Zhengqing exchanged pleasantries, and then, along with Liu Xingyu, they took to the skies and left the True Dragon Divine Sect.


    The next day.


    At the break of dawn.


    The Green Lotus Sword Deity announced that from then on, the True Dragon Divine Sect was Green Lotus Tavern¡¯s most sincere ally.


    As the news spread, the Divine Dragon Empire was abuzz with excitement.


    ¡°The Green Lotus Sword Deity has returned, wasn¡¯t he supposed to take charge of Green Lotus Tavern? How did they end up bing allies instead?¡±


    ¡°I heard that the Green Lotus Sword Deity went personally to meet Divine Yangst night, and whatever they discussed, it made True Dragon Divine Sect and Green Lotus Tavern allies.¡±


    Soon after, another piece of news spread: Li Hong was stripped of his position as the Tavern Master of Green Lotus Tavern, and Green Lotus Tavern would henceforth be managed by Li Dong again.

 Chapter 383: 383: This Place is Somewhat Sinister

    Chapter 383: Chapter 383: This ce is Somewhat Sinister


    ¡°`


    Although Li Hong was stripped of his position as the master of Green Lotus Tavern and Li Dong took over, which surprised many, people didn¡¯t think too much of it.


    After the Green Lotus Sword Deity and Liu Xingyu left, Heaven-Prating Peak once again returned to its usual tranquility.


    Yang Xiaotian, as usual, spent his days practicing various swordsmanship techniques in the back mountain and his nights swallowing Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and cultivating with Life Essence Fluid.


    Before he knew it, the New Year had arrived.


    Heaven-Prating Peak was exceptionally lively.


    All the old ancestors from True Dragon Divine Sect¡¯s peaks, Supreme Elders, and Elders came to pay a New Year¡¯s visit to Yang Xiaotian, and even Li Zhengqing and Tyrant Dragon showed up.


    It was probably only Yang Xiaotian who could have a disciple make the entire sect¡¯s elders visit him for New Year¡¯s greetings.


    This year, Yang Xiaotian had prepared a super gift package for Xiao Jin, Luo Qing, Wu Qi, and others, giving each of them a Space Ring. Inside each ring, there were Spirit Stones, Elixirs, Martial Arts Manuals, and many rare treasures.


    Of course, there were also lollipops.<div>


    The red envelopes Yang Xiaotian prepared for his sister and parents were naturally even bigger.


    Yang Ling¡¯er, holding her super Space Ring, was so happy that her face bloomed with joy, then she pouted and said she wanted two shares.


    Huang Ying¡¯s New Year¡¯s gift for the two siblings was hand-made clothing; knowing that Yang Xiaotian liked to wear light blue robes, she chose light blue material.


    And for Yang Ling¡¯er, it was a light yellow dress.


    Both in their favorite colors.


    ¡°Thank you, Mother,¡± said Yang Xiaotian, warming up as he put on the clothes made by his mother.


    Huang Ying smiled and said, ¡°When you marry Qingxuan, that girl, I¡¯ll make you a set of wedding clothes.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was momentarily at a loss for words.


    He knew his mother liked Qingxuan very much and had already regarded her as her future daughter-inw.


    On New Year¡¯s Eve, it was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s favorite moment of the year.


    The family sat together, happily enjoying their reunion dinner.


    There were no exotic mountain delicacies or beasts; the whole table was filled with dishes made by his parents.


    Yang Chao brought out a jar of wine and said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°I brewed this myself. I made a hundred jars of it, try it.¡±


    ¡°Your father brewed this especially for you. He looked through many ancient books and brewed it ording to ancient methods,¡± said Huang Ying, smiling.


    ¡°Thank you, Father,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. Then he took a sip, finding it very mellow. He nodded and smiled at Yang Chao, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    Yang Chao smiled back.


    ¡°I want a drink too!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er suddenly said.


    ¡°What is a young girl like you doing drinking alcohol?¡± said Huang Ying, not very pleased.


    ¡°Mother, let me just have a sip, a tiny sip, a very small one,¡± she pleaded.<div>


    ¡­


    He had a very joyful New Year¡¯s with his family.


    On the seventh day of the New Year.


    Yang Xiaotian set off with the Demon Ape and others, heading to Azure God Academy.<div>


    However, before heading to Azure God Academy, Yang Xiaotian nned to enter the Death Sword Tomb to see if he could find the Eternal Night Sword.


    If he could find the Eternal Night Sword, that would be best. If not, then he would look for the Divine Shadow Sword once he was in Azure God Academy.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Death Sword Tomb.


    The Death Sword Tomb bore some resemnce to the Eternal Burial Ground, in that at first nce, it was all graves, except that the Death Sword Tomb almost exclusively contained swords. Only a tiny fraction were high-ranking practitioners from the evil and demonic paths, whereas the Eternal Burial Ground was filled with people.


    Looking at the Death Sword Tomb before them, the Demon Ape, Iceme Qilin, and others felt an uneasy throbbing sensation in their hearts.


    The Death Sword Tomb was even more ominous and terrifying than the Eternal Burial Ground.


    Because all who entered the Death Sword Tomb went missing, and no one ever came out alive.


    ¡°`


    Even masters of the Divine Spirit Realm would meet the same fate upon entering; like stones sinking into the sea, they would vanish without a trace.


    Therefore, even for the Demon Ape with its fearsome and overwhelming presence, facing the Death Sword Tomb caused its heart to tremble.


    ¡°Old Ape, Old Bing, you two wait for me outside. I¡¯ll go in by myself,¡± Yang Xiaotian considered for a moment and then said to the Demon Ape and the others.


    ¡°Young Master, we¡­¡± The Demon Ape wanted to say it would apany Yang Xiaotian inside.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°With Master Ding by my side, I won¡¯t be in any danger. Within ten days, I wille out.¡±<div>


    Knowing how strong Master Ding was, the Demon Ape and the others insisted no longer and waited outside the tomb for Yang Xiaotian.


    So, Yang Xiaotian alone took flight and entered the Death Sword Tomb.


    The Eternal Burial Ground was shrouded in death aura, but above the Death Sword Tomb hovered not the aura of death but a pale green gas. This cold, chilling gas sent a shiver down one¡¯s spine.


    ¡°Be careful,¡± Master Ding also spoke, ¡°This ce is somewhat sinister.¡±


    Hearing even Master Ding call the ce sinister, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression grew serious.


    To prevent any idents, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.


    A thousand Buddha figures intertwined around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Under the illumination of the Buddha¡¯s mes, the pale green gas became much lighter.


    Yet, it only lightened; the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire could notpletely incinerate the pale green gas.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian became even more cautious.


    He proceeded carefully, and at the same time, he activated the power of his thirteen Sword Hearts, beginning to sense the presence of the Eternal Night Sword.


    As more Sword Hearts he gathered, the stronger the power of the Sword Heart became, and if the Eternal Night Sword truly was within the Death Sword Tomb, he would surely be able to sense it.


    It was precisely for this reason that Yang Xiaotian decided to take the risk and enter the Death Sword Tomb.<div>


    One day passed.


    The sky grew dark.


    The Death Sword Tomb was beset by howling winds that grew stronger and stronger, akin to the winds from the hellish underworld. The gale was so fierce that it made it impossible to open one¡¯s eyes and even Yang Xiaotian found it difficult to press forward.


    Yang Xiaotian could only spend the night in a sword burial vault, waiting for the light of the following day before he continued his search for the Eternal Night Sword.


    Days passed in this manner.


    In the span of a few days, Yang Xiaotian indeed found many fine swords, even a Heavenly Sword, but the trace of the Eternal Night Sword was yet to be seen.


    As Yang Xiaotian ventured deeper, the howling winds grew wilder and the pale green gas in the high sky turned denser. Initially, this gas was pale green, but as he delved deeper, it turned to a dark green, so dark it was almost ck.


    Yang Xiaotian had a strong soul, but under the cover of this gas, he actually experienced an illusion, as if he had arrived in the hellish underworld.


    ¡°Awake!¡± Suddenly, Master Ding shouted.


    The Sea of Souls within Yang Xiaotian who had entered the illusion exploded, jolting him awake.


    Once awake, his body was covered in cold sweat.


    If not for Master Ding¡¯s presence, he feared he would have been trapped in that terrifying illusion forever.


    Yang Xiaotian began to understand why those masters who entered the tomb had disappeared.<div>


    At that moment, Master Ding emitted a burst of light, enveloping Yang Xiaotian and shielding him from the effects of the illusion.


    Yang Xiaotian continued forward.


    On the fifth day of entering the tomb, atst, he sensed a powerful Sword Force.


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed; such a potent Sword Force could only belong to a Divine Sword! Only a Divine Sword could possess such power.


    He quickly followed the direction of the sensation, and soon, he arrived in front of a vast burial mound.


    The mighty Sword Force was emanating from within this mound.


    However, after searching around, he found no entrance to the mound. After some thought, Yang Xiaotian used the Life-Bound Soul Skill of the ck Dragon Martial Spirit, Space Concealment, to pass through the mound and enter its interior.

 Chapter 384: 384: Undefeated Nether God?

    Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Undefeated Nether God?


    Within the tomb, an ancient coffin wasid out.


    The mighty sword force emanated from within the coffin.


    Xiaotian came to the front of the coffin, pushed with both hands, and the heavy lid moved slowly open like a mountain being shifted.


    When the lid waspletely opened, Xiaotian looked inside and saw a young man with an outstanding demeanor lying there, dressed in the robes of an emperor, exuding the air of nobility. Even after many years in death, he stillmanded awe.


    Beside the young man, apletely dark sword was ced, from the de to the scabbard, to the hilt, utterly dark. This darkness was unlike any ordinary darkness, which is simply devoid of light, this sword¡¯s darkness carried a chilling force.


    This darkness was of an ultimate kind.


    It was the Eternal Night Sword.


    Looking at the Eternal Night Sword before him, Xiaotian felt a surge of tion, reached out to grasp it, intending to lift it.


    But to his astonishment, the Eternal Night Sword didn¡¯t budge at all.


    Xiaotian channeled his True Yuan with all his might, his body bursting with radiant light, but still couldn¡¯t lift it, which left him bewildered. He looked towards the young man.<div>


    If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, this young man must be the Eternal Night Divine Emperor.


    Clearly, the Eternal Night Sword desired to stay forever by the side of the Eternal Night Divine Emperor.


    Seeing this, Xiaotian spoke, ¡°Rest assured, if you follow me, I will treat you just as well as the Eternal Night Divine Emperor did.¡± With these words, the power of his thirteen Sword Hearts surged and enveloped the Eternal Night Sword.


    Under the influence of the thirteen Sword Hearts¡¯ power, the Eternal Night Sword, which had remained still and unaffected, burst forth with a strong dark radiance.


    The entire tomb was engulfed by the dark glow.


    All things within the tomb lost their light.


    The only thing not affected by the dark glow was Xiaotian¡¯s thirteen Sword Hearts.


    Xiaotian reached out to grasp and once again attempted to lift the Eternal Night Sword.


    This time, the Eternal Night Sword did not resist, and Xiaotian easily picked it up.


    Looking at the Eternal Night Sword, Xiaotian grew fonder of it the more he looked.


    Legend had it that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, wielding the Eternal Night Sword, could with a single sh plunge a radius of ten thousand miles into eternal night. Every person, every creature, everything would be covered by the Eternal Night, and even Abnormal Fire had to extinguish under its veil.


    The power of the Eternal Night Sword was evident.


    Right away, Xiaotian began to refine the Eternal Night Sword.


    Under the prompt of the thirteen Sword Hearts¡¯ power, he quickly refined the Eternal Night Sword.


    He put away the Eternal Night Sword and then found a Swordsmanship Manual within the coffin¡ªthe Eternal Night Sword Technique. After giving it a cursory nce and storing it carefully, he bowed deeply to the Eternal Night Divine Emperor. Then, he reced the coffin¡¯s lid and left the tomb.


    Just as Xiaotian emerged from the tomb and was about to leave the Death Sword Tomb, suddenly, a mysterious voice from the deepest part of the tomb resonated.


    This voice, prating everything, sought to drill into the deepest parts of Xiaotian¡¯s soul when suddenly a beam of light from the Cauldron Medicine shone, enveloping Xiaotian, sessfully sealing off the voice.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Xiaotian wondered in shock.


    ¡°It¡¯s a mind-controlling sound!¡± Master Ding said, ¡°A kind of sound that controls the soul. Once controlled by this sound, one would totally lose oneself, more troublesome than the illusions you experienced before.¡±<div>


    Then he said in a grave tone, ¡°The one casting this mind-controlling sound is very powerful! Even Divine Spirits have difficulty resisting.¡±


    ¡°Even Divine Spirits have difficulty resisting?¡± Seeing Master Ding¡¯s serious expression, Xiaotian asked, ¡°How does itpare to the Undying Death God?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say!¡± Master Ding pondered.


    Xiaotian was shocked.<div>


    At the deepest part of the Death Sword Tomb, there was an entity of such terrifying presence.


    Who is this person?


    All the experts who had entered the Death Sword Tomb before had gone missing, could it be rted to this person?


    ¡°Shall we go in and take a look?¡± Master Ding said.


    Yang Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then shook his head; better not meddle in more affairs than necessary. Although he still had quite a bit of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, he needed to save it for cultivating his vitality and dealing with the Undying Death God.


    So, Yang Xiaotian hurriedly flew out of the Sword Tomb.


    The voice followed him like a bone-burrowing maggot, ceaselessly trying to drill deeper into Xiaotian¡¯s soul.


    However, with Master Ding¡¯s light shield for defense, Xiaotian managed to exit the Sword Tomb safely and without incident.


    The Demon Ape and a few others, who had been anxiously waiting outside the Sword Tomb, were overjoyed to see Xiaotian emerge and approached him eagerly.


    ¡°Young master, are you alright?¡± the Demon Ape inquired.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied with a shake of his head and a smile. ¡°I found what we were looking for; let¡¯s leave this ce.¡± The Death Sword Tomb was too sinister; it would be wise to leave early.


    Thereupon, he led the Demon Ape and others as they broke through the sky and departed.


    After getting a good distance away, Yang Xiaotian began to tell hispanions about the events he had encountered in the Death Sword Tomb over the past few days.<div>


    When Xiaotian mentioned that there was a terrifying entity within the Sword Tomb, one not weaker than the Undying Death God, the Demon Ape and the others were shocked.


    ¡°Could it be the Undefeated Underworld God?¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor asked with rm.


    In the past, the Lord of Azure God had two great adversaries; one was the Undefeated Underworld God, the other was the Undying Death God.


    Some even said that the Undefeated Underworld God was the Lord of Azure God¡¯s most formidable enemy.


    The Undefeated Underworld God could control all the Yin Souls and Yin Ghosts in the world; hismand over them was so vast that they were innumerable and indestructible.


    The Undefeated Underworld God could even refrain from acting personally; just the billions of Yin Souls and Yin Ghosts under hismand were enough to annihte everything in the world.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be the Undefeated Underworld God!¡± the Iceme Kylin expressed doubt. ¡°Back then, the Lord of Azure God beheaded him and sealed his head and body in different ces.¡±


    The rest were also in disbelief; if it was not the Undefeated Underworld God, who could it be?


    Yang Xiaotian felt quite heavy-hearted.


    No matter whether the person was the Undefeated Underworld God or not, it wasn¡¯t good news; it seemed all the experts who entered the Death Sword Tomb had likely been killed by them.


    This person was clearly no righteous figure; should they emerge, it was feared that the Azure God Continent would be plunged into another bloody turmoil.


    He still needed to work hard to enhance his strength. Although he was already much stronger than his peers, he was still too weakpared to Divine Spirit Realm masters.


    The Abyssal Spaceship traveled through theyers of space, heading towards the Azure God Academy.<div>


    Inside the secluded chamber of the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Eternal Night Sword Technique during the day and at night, he ingested Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Life Essence Fluid to cultivate.


    Finally, upon reaching the Myriad Gods Empire, his vitality broke through to a range of ten thousand miles!


    Of course, his strength had already broken through to the Martial Emperor¡¯s tenthyer peak, and he could breakthrough to the realm of Martial Venerable at any moment.


    Martial Emperors typically had a lifespan of two hundred years, but once they broke through to the realm of Martial Venerable, their lifespan would significantly increase, generally extending to five hundred years.


    If their vitality was powerful, some Martial Venerables could even reach a lifespan of six hundred, seven hundred years; the limit for a Martial Venerable¡¯s lifespan was a thousand years, although reaching a thousand years was nearly impossible for most Martial Venerables.


    Nevertheless, upon entering the Myriad Gods Empire, Yang Xiaotian was not in a rush to head to the Azure God Academy; instead, he found a ce where he could first have a breakthrough into the realm of Martial Venerable.


    After all, he needed to reach the realm of Martial Venerable to take part in the Azure God Academy¡¯s examination.

 Chapter 385: 385

    Chapter 385: 385


    After finding an uninhabited peak, Yang Xiaotian had the Demon Ape and several others protect him while he swallowed a heavenly-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill and began to attack the Martial Venerable Realm.


    With each cirction of the Primordial Dragon Art, Dragon Essence surged ceaselessly through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    The power of the True Dragon gathered around his body, forming numerous True Essence Dragons.


    Finally, a Dragon Barrier took shape.


    Several days passed.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body echoed with faint crackling sounds.


    Like melting ice and the rebirth of the earth, the life force inside him grew ever stronger.


    The Demon Ape and hispanions stood guard outside when suddenly, their eyes flew open, all looking in astonishment towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s direction.


    Incredible nine-colored Divine Dragons¡¯ energy soared into the sky, and a vast dragon might dominated heaven and earth, imposing an intangible pressure that even the Demon Apes felt.


    This was a pressure that stemmed from the soul.<div>


    And the pressure continued to intensify.


    This went on for a full day.


    The energy of the nine-colored Divine Dragons and the dragon might gradually dissipated.


    Only then did the soul pressure on the Demon Ape and hispanions vanish.


    After a short while, Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes.


    After days of arduous cultivation, he had finally sessfully broken through to the Martial Venerable Realm.


    He felt the dense True Yuan within his body; this breakthrough had increased his True Yuan several fold, and his life force had experienced an astonishing rise, his longevity reaching a thousand years¡ªa limit for the Martial Venerable lifespan. The Lord of Azure God had also reached a thousand years of longevity when breaking through to this level.


    It was his vast Qi Blood that attributed to the longevity of a thousand years.


    Having broken through to a Qi Blood range of myriad miles was why his breakthrough to Martial Venerable granted him a millennium of longevity.


    After the breakthrough to Martial Venerable, his physical body, from the inside out, underwent significant changes, whether in terms of strength or defense, he had achieved a qualitative improvement.


    Yang Xiaotian sensed the acupoints within his body.


    The human body possesses one thousand two hundred and ny-six acupoints hidden at its deepest depths, usually hard to sense, and only after breaking through to the Martial Venerable Realm can one sense these acupoints.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s perception, these acupoints appeared like tiny stars scattered in every corner of the body, faintly resonating with the stars in the sky.


    However, these acupoints were currently dim and lifeless, akin to stars without vitality; they would only shine and brim with life after being opened and infused with True Yuan.


    The more acupoints that were opened, the stronger the physique and the greater the vitality.


    Should one open all one thousand two hundred and ny-six acupoints, the physique could even achieve immortality, meaning that even in death, the body would not dpose.


    However, opening all the acupoints is extremely difficult, even more challenging than when a Martial Emperor condenses the Myriad Miles Qi Blood.


    Forgetting about all the acupoints, just managing to open the three hundred and sixty-five acupoints to reach the Grand Cirction is already quite rare. Amidst the countless geniuses of the Azure God Continent, those who have reached such a number in their acupoints are all exceptional geniuses among geniuses.


    Some profoundly talented individuals, after breaking through to Martial Venerable, use their previously dense True Yuan and Qi Blood to open up to twelve acupoints, achieving the Minor Cirction.<div>


    Some geniuses can even open twenty-four acupoints in one go, reaching twice the number of the Minor Cirction. Of course, this is exceedingly rare.


    ¡°I wonder how many I will be able to open in one go?¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered secretly.


    With his now incredibly dense True Yuan and Qi Blood, if he were to begin opening his acupoints now, it would undoubtedly be more than twenty-four.


    Possibly five times the Minor Cirction, or even six times, seven times the Minor Cirction!<div>


    However, he was not in a hurry to open up his acupuncture points right now. He had read the notes left by his Master, Divine Master Hong Feng, who mentioned that if one could manage to open ten times the number of acupuncture points in the Minor Cirction in one go, it would trigger the power of Heaven and Earth to temper the body, which would be extremely important for future cultivation. Therefore, he was waiting for his True Yuan and Qi Blood to be more profound before attempting to open up the acupuncture points.


    If he could manage to open up three hundred and eighty-five acupuncture points in one fell swoop, reaching the number of the Grand Cirction, then the Heavenly Nectar would descend, and upon entering his body, his physical body would be cultivated to a heaven-defying extent.


    At that time, he could even surpass the Immortal Body.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up, then continued on his journey with the Demon Ape and the others.


    Since they were not in a rush to travel, whenever they passed through some cities, they would asionally take a brief rest and enter taverns for a drink.


    However, having tasted the wine brewed by his father, Yang Chao, all other wines seemed tock something in vor.


    Myriad Gods Empire truly lived up to its reputation as the first empire of the Azure God Continent, extremely prosperous and powerful, with innumerable sects and families. In the Divine Dragon Empire, Venerable Realm powerhouses are a rare sight on the streets, but ever since entering the Myriad Gods Empire, Venerable Realm powerhouses were not few.


    Even some Ancient Mythical Beasts that were typically rare to see were not umon.


    Many great families tamed these Ancient Mythical Beasts as their mounts.


    ¡°This Myriad Gods Empire is truly a forest of the powerful,¡± even the Demon Ape couldn¡¯t help but remark after entering the Myriad Gods Empire.


    The Iceme Kylin nodded and said, ¡°Some say that nine-tenths of the Divine Spirits of the Azure God Continente from the Myriad Gods Empire.¡±


    Although it¡¯s an exaggeration to say that nine-tenths of the Divine Spirit powerhouses of the Azure God Continente from the Myriad Gods Empire, it still reflects the might of the Myriad Gods Empire.


    The Sky-Stepping Sect might be the strongest sect in the Divine Dragon Empire, but almost any Supreme Sect in the Myriad Gods Empire could easily crush the Sky-Stepping Sect.<div>


    The Azure God Academy is not located in the Imperial Capital of the Myriad Gods Empire, but in a royal nation not far from the Imperial Capital.


    Rather than saying it was built within a royal nation, it would be more urate to say that the entire royal nation was the Azure God Academy.


    Due to the unique nature of the Azure God Academy, its za gathers strong individuals from all over the Azure God Continent at every moment.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Azure God Academy, it was already dark, but the za in front of the academy was still bustling with traffic and powerhouses from various sects and familiesing and going continuously.


    On the za, many powerhouses were discussing the talents who had recently stood out during the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment.


    ¡°Yan Long of the Yan Family participated in the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment a few days ago! Guess how he did?¡±


    ¡°Is it that Yan Long who possesses the Supreme Bone and the Golden Dragon Bloodline?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him! I heard he hunted down a full ten thousand Fierce Beasts in the Secret Realm during the assessment!¡±


    ¡°What, ten thousand beasts!¡±


    Everyone eximed in shock.


    ording to the rules of the Azure God Academy, one would pass the assessment if they killed enough Fierce Beasts in the Secret Realm to total one thousand within the Martial Venerable Realm in a single day.


    Fierce Beasts are generally stronger than the Human Race at the same realm, and being able to hunt a hundred Fierce Beasts of the same realm in a single day is quite difficult for a Martial Venerable Realm being, let alone a thousand.


    Yet, Yan Long killed a full ten thousand!<div>


    That was astonishing.


    ¡°I also heard that after passing the assessment, he managed to open up thirty-two acupuncture points in one go!¡± a sect powerhouse said excitedly.


    Hearing that Yan Long was able to open up twenty-eight acupuncture points at once, everyone was again astonished.


    Being able to open up two times the number of Minor Cirction acupuncture points, which is twenty-four, is already quite remarkable, but Yan Long managed to open up thirty-two.


    It¡¯s known that opening up acupuncture points bes increasingly difficult the further one goes; the amount of True Yuan and Qi Blood needed for each additional point is exceedingly great.


    Yang Xiaotian, overhearing the discussion of the crowd, remembered the disciple from the Yan Family he encountered when he entered the Soul Sea to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Roc¡ªthat disciple was named Yan Long.


    At that time, just because he took an extra nce at the other person, that person said he would gouge out his eyes.

 Chapter 386: 386: Son of Fan Family

    Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Son of Fan Family


    ¡°Yan Long? That kid again!¡± The Iceme Qilin also remembered Yan Long whom he had encountered in the Soul Sea before, and he held a deep memory of Yan Long¡¯s desire to gouge out Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes.


    Therefore, upon hearing that it was that kid, the Iceme Qilin¡¯s expression turned sour.


    The Azure Thunder Python also huffed, ¡°Killing ten thousand Fierce Beasts is nothing. If the young master were to participate in the assessment, he could easily kill twenty thousand!¡±


    Just as the Azure Thunder Python finished speaking, an irritated voice interrupted, ¡°Killing twenty thousand? What a bunch of frogs in a well, where do these idiotse from! Do you fools think you¡¯re killing Emperor Realm Fierce Beasts?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian and the others looked over and saw several Yan Family disciples approaching, staring hostilely at Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python.


    These were Yan Long¡¯s subordinates, the disciples of the Yan Family.


    Upon reaching Yang Xiaotian and hispany, Yan Jun looked at Xiaotian and said, ¡°Kid, this is your subordinate? He dares to speak wildly about our young master! Have him cut off his own arm, or else, you and your servants will not survive the night!¡±


    The experts from the various Empires immediately backed away, afraid of being associated with Yang Xiaotian and his group.


    The crowd looked at Yang Xiaotian and hispanions with pity. The Yan Family was a colossal force on the Azure God Continent, an overwhelming presence in the Myriad Gods Empire. Who would dare to criticize the Yan Family there?


    Whoever dared criticize the Yan Family would suffer, with minor offenses resulting in dismemberment and serious ones in immediate death! In even more severe cases, the entire family would be executed!<div>


    That was the fate of those who offended the Yan Family.


    Therefore, once it involved a behemoth like the Yan Family, the experts from the major Empires typically held their tongues.


    When Yang Xiaotian heard Yan Junmand the Azure Thunder Python to cut off an arm, he said coldly, ¡°Scram! Or die!¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian actually tell Yan Jun and the other Yan Family disciples to scram or die, everyone present inhaled sharply.


    As expected, Yan Jun burst out with murderous intent upon hearing this, ¡°Kid, you¡¯re seeking death! Do you realize that you¡¯re looking for death! I don¡¯t need to know who you are, I¡¯ll crush you right now!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll crush you and your servants to death!¡±


    With that, he was about to take action.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Just then, a group of Azure God Academy enforcers suddenly came over, ¡°What are you doing!¡±


    Yan Jun saw that they were the enforcers from Azure God Academy and his brows furrowed, but ultimately he ceased his aggression.


    Steward Liu Yunhui of the Azure God Academy approached the disciples of the Yan Family and rebuked, ¡°The Azure God Academy has rules in ce. No one is allowed to cause trouble on the grounds of the academy. Yan Jun, don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t capture you just because you are a disciple of the Yan Family!¡±


    ¡°Liu Yunhui, don¡¯t make a mountain out of a molehill. Which eye of yours saw me take action?¡± Yan Jun retorted without changing his expression, then looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, consider yourself lucky, but there will be other days ahead, and we will meet again soon.¡±


    After speaking, he led the disciples of the Yan Family away.


    The Demon Ape watched the departing Yan Family disciples, its eyes brimming with a bloodthirsty glow.


    Liu Yunhui nced at Yang Xiaotian and his party, then left with the enforcement team of the Azure God Academy.


    After Liu Yunhui left, the experts from the various Empires closely scrutinized Yang Xiaotian and his group, whispering among themselves.


    ¡°Which Empire does this young man belong to?¡±


    ¡°No matter which Empire he¡¯s from, offending the Yan Family means death!¡±


    An old ancestor shook his head.


    However, the crowd didn¡¯t pay too much attention to Yang Xiaotian, this reckless youth, and quickly changed the subject.<div>


    ¡°Today, the Son of Fan from the Fan Family also signed up for the Azure God Academy assessment. I wonder how many Fierce Beasts he can kill!¡±


    ¡°What, the Son of Fan hase too?!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred intensely, all of them shocked.


    The Fan Family was the premier n of the Great Brahma Empire, a behemoth on the Azure God Continent just like the Yan Family. A super n with a million-year heritage like the Fan Family has innumerable disciples like fishes crossing the river, countless among them are geniuses.<div>


    However, there can only be one person who is called the ¡°Son of Fan¡±!


    One can imagine how difficult it was to be the Son of Fan.


    Every generation, the Son of Fan from the Fan Family was absolutely dazzling.


    ¡°The Son of Fan of the Fan Family.¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered.


    Beforeing here, his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, had mentioned some of the most dazzling talents that had emerged in the Azure God Continent in the past ten years. Among them, he mentioned the Son of Fan from the Fan Family.


    ¡°You guys wait here for me, I¡¯m going to register and participate in the assessment,¡± Yang Xiaotian told the Demon Ape and Man Fang.


    The group responded respectfully.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to the registration area.


    The Steward Wang Wang from the Azure God Academy, upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to register for the assessment, couldn¡¯t help but be surprised, ¡°Are you a Martial Venerable?¡±


    He clearly didn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could be a Martial Venerable, after all, Yang Xiaotian looked much too young, only about fourteen or fifteen years old.


    If someone reached Martial Venerable at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it would certainly be shocking.


    It¡¯s noteworthy that the Son of Fan from the Fan Family who registered a few hours earlier was already seventeen years old.


    Even so, breaking through to Martial Venerable at seventeen was still astonishing.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian immediately operated his True Yuan, and suddenly, a powerful aura was released.


    Although Yang Xiaotian tried his best to suppress his True Yuan, releasing only one-twentieth of it, the powerful aura still astonished Wang Wang and the other surrounding experts.


    ¡°A Martial Venerable! This youth is actually a Martial Venerable!¡±


    ¡°How old is he? Fourteen?¡±


    ¡°A fourteen-year-old Martial Venerable is rare in the world, but rapid cultivation doesn¡¯t necessarily mean he has good talent. He might have relied on swallowing Elixirs and precious treasures to increase his strength this quickly,¡± another person spected.


    The people around discussed among themselves.


    After confirming that Yang Xiaotian was a Martial Venerable, Wang Wang gave him an Assessment Token, imprinted Yang Xiaotian¡¯s name on it, and then exined the assessment rules to him before opening the gate to the Secret Realm for the assessment.


    Yang Xiaotian shed into the Secret Realm¡¯s gate.


    Not far away, Yan Jun, a disciple of the Yan Family who had not walked far, watched Yang Xiaotian enter the Secret Realm with a cold expression, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this kid to be a Martial Venerable!¡±


    ¡°Being a Martial Venerable isn¡¯t much. His aura just now is far inferior to our Young Master¡¯s. Our Young Master¡¯s True Yuan is much more profound than his,¡± another disciple of the Yan Family said. ¡°Even if he participates in the assessment, he might not be able to pass it.¡±


    Yan Jun nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s settle ounts with this kid when hees out of the Secret Realm!¡±


    The group left.


    After entering the Secret Realm, Yang Xiaotian arrived at a primeval forest.<div>


    Looking around, the primeval forest was boundless, with roars of Fierce Beasts constantly heard, and powerful auras filled various parts of the forest.


    The rules of the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment were simple: within one day, if one could hunt a thousand Martial Venerable Realm Fierce Beasts, they would pass the assessment.


    The Fierce Beasts here had strong bloodlines, even though the weakest were at the first level of Martial Venerable. Even a level one Martial Venerable could easily ughter experts of the Human Race who were at the second level of Martial Venerable Realm.


    Therefore, it wasn¡¯t easy to hunt a Fierce Beast here, let alone a thousand within one day, which could be said to be extremely difficult.


    Suddenly, with a roar, a massive ck Tiger King pounced towards Yang Xiaotian.


    This Tiger King was impressively at the third level of Martial Venerable Realm.

 Chapter 387: 387: The 14th Sword Heart

    Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The 14th Sword Heart


    As the powerful Tiger King lunged at him, Yang Xiaotian did not even look its way. Wielding the Eternal Night Sword in his hand, he swept it forth, and instantly, a beam of Eternal Night Sword Light shed and disappeared.


    A column of blood gushed forth, and the head of the Tiger King that had been pouncing his way had rolled onto the ground.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian had not yet opened up a single acupoint, with the incredibly thick True Yuan from his two Divine Elixir Golden Cores, he could easily ughter Martial Venerable fourth, fifth, and even sixth level Fierce Beasts.


    When the head of the Tiger King hit the ground, a ray of light entered his Assessment Token.


    Within the spatial confines of his Assessment Token, there was now an additional sphere of light.


    As long as he hunted enough to total a thousand Fierce Beasts, his Assessment Token would then hold a thousand spheres of light, and he would pass the assessment.


    Yang Xiaotian continued forward, not bothering to conceal his presence as he walked leisurely.


    Although there were Fierce Beasts within the Secret Realm at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm, with his currentbat strength and defenses, he feared not even those at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.


    Not long after, he encountered another Fierce Beast.


    This one, a bit weaker than the Tiger King he had just faced, was only at the second level of the Venerable Realm, yet Yang Xiaotian dispatched it with a single sword stroke too.<div>


    He did not use the Heaven-Prating Sword Technique, nor the Thunderp Nine Heavens, nor the Azure God Sword Technique, but instead wielded the Eternal Night Sword Technique.


    In these days on the road, he had fully mastered the Eternal Night Sword Technique, and he was one step away frompletely understanding the Eternal Night Sword Dao. Once done, he would be able to condense the fourteenth Sword Heart.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian intended to use these Fierce Beasts to refine his Eternal Night Sword Technique.


    To thoroughlyprehend the Eternal Night Sword Dao.


    To condense the fourteenth Sword Heart within this Secret Realm.


    ¡°With a swing, Eternal Night is summoned.¡± Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword, the space around him instantly fell into eternal darkness, and Sword Qi burst forth from within the night, piercing throughyers of space. A Fierce Beast four levels into the Venerable Realm, several miles away, was sent flying.


    By the time it hit the ground, its life had ended.


    A sword wound was evident through the beast¡¯s forehead.


    At its death, its eyes were wide open in shock and surprise.


    But such one-on-onebat was dull and hardly refined his Eternal Night Sword Technique. Thus, Yang Xiaotian unleashed his Soul Power in search of packs of beasts.


    He sought a particrlyrge group¡ªat least several hundred strong.


    Other disciples sought to avoid beast packs upon entering, but Yang Xiaotian aimed to find them.


    Through perseverance and ughter of dozens of Fierce Beasts, Yang Xiaotian finally found a massive beast pack.


    This pack contained three to four hundred Fierce Beasts, all Silver Moon Wolves. Known for strong attacks and swift movements, these pack-hunting Fierce Beasts were dreaded by warriors who would normally steer clear.


    The weakest in a pack of Silver Moon Wolves were at the fifth level of the Venerable Realm, but Yang Xiaotian was thrilled by the hunt and plunged directly into the midst of the pack.


    Instantly, blood rained down.


    With the full might of the Eternal Night Sword, its ck luminescence surged like a sea, enveloping all the Silver Moon Wolves.


    Beneath the cover of eternal night, one could not see their own hand, yet Yang Xiaotian could distinctly sense the location of each Silver Moon Wolf¡ªand even see clearly each attack made by them.


    Within this eternal night, he was the supreme Dominator.<div>


    And his presence, as if disappearing into the eternal darkness, could not be sensed by the Silver Moon Wolves at all.


    Such was the terrifying might of the Eternal Night Sword.


    ¡°Darkness Dominates!¡±


    ¡°Traceless in the Void!¡±<div>


    ¡°Sword Bursting Rivers and Mountains!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°With a swing, Light Emerges!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian relished in the performance of the Eternal Night Sword Technique, his Sword Qi continually shing within the night.


    With every stroke, a Silver Moon Wolf was in.


    Their agonizing cries rose and fell continuously.


    Yang Xiaotian repeated the process over and over again.


    With each repetition, he gained new insights into the Eternal Night Sword Dao.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire being merged with the aura of the Eternal Night Sword, bing one with heaven and earth.


    While Yang Xiaotian was ughtering the Silver Moon Wolf pack, in another part of the secret realm, the Son of Fan from the Fan Family, Fan Wuyan, was also ughtering one fierce beast after another.


    He wielded the Fan Sword, and with each swing, his sword qi surged like an ocean, sending one fierce beast after another flying.


    Within him, astonishing sword lights shed incessantly.


    There were nine Sword Hearts, and they were nine Demon God Sword Hearts.<div>


    The Demon God Sword Heart is also one of the strongest Sword Hearts in heaven and earth.


    Forging nine Sword Hearts is the embodiment of a Sword God, peerless through the ages. Many sword dao geniuses spend their entire lives unable to forge them.


    But now, inside Fan Wuyan, the tenth Sword Heart started to flicker with light again.


    Yes, it was the tenth Demon God Sword Heart.


    This time, Fan Wuyan entered the secret realm to harness the beasts¡¯ power to hone his Sword Dao and forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart.


    ¡°This time, I will surely forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart,¡± dered Fan Wuyan with determination in his eyes.


    If he could forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart, he would certainly shake the higher-ups of the Azure God Academy and astonish all directions.


    If he could forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart, he might even sense the Divine Shadow Sword of the Azure God Academy and subdue it.


    With the continuous strikes of his sword, the tenth Demon God Sword Heart within him became more solid.


    The Demon God Sword Qi around his body grew stronger and stronger, disturbing many disciples in the secret realm.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Son of Fan from the Fan Family, he¡¯s about to forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart!¡±


    ¡°What, forge the tenth Demon God Sword Heart!¡±


    As the news spread, all disciples within the secret realm were shocked.<div>


    ¡°Is Fan Wuyan seeking to surpass the gods?¡±


    No disciple had managed to forge the tenth Sword Heart upon first entering the Azure God Academy.


    If Fan Wuyan seeded in forging the tenth Demon God Sword Heart, it would certainly break the records of Azure God Academy in everyone¡¯s eyes.


    After Yang Xiaotian ughtered hundreds of Silver Moon Wolves, he began to search for the next pack of beasts.


    Soon, he found a pack of Iron Ant Beasts.


    d in iron armor, the Iron Ant Beasts weren¡¯t as swift as the Silver Moon Wolves, but their defense was astonishing.


    Yang Xiaotian once again activated the Eternal Night Sword.


    He executed the Eternal Night Sword Technique to perfection.


    After hunting the third pack of beasts, the fourteenth Sword Heart finally began to emerge.


    After he hunted the fourth pack of beasts, the fourteenth Sword Heart grew more solid.


    By the time he hunted the fifth pack of beasts, the fourteenth Sword Heart had finally solidified.


    The moment the fourteen Sword Hearts solidified, the earth shook, mountains crumbled, and the entire space of the secret realm quaked. In the sky above the realm, gods bowed down, a river of swords appeared, and a myriad of sword lights surged, presenting various supernatural phenomena.


    The power of the fourteen Sword Hearts even prated the space of the secret realm, for not even the supreme prohibitions of the secret realm could stop the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts.<div>


    Terrifying surges of Sword Qi appeared above the square of Azure God Academy.


    At that moment, everyone saw that heaven-and-earth-shaking Sword Qi.


    The light of the Sword Qi eclipsed all other lights in heaven and earth.


    Powerful figures from all over the square of Azure God Academy watched the terrifying Sword Qi with disbelief.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening? How can such terrifying Sword Qi leak out from the secret realm?¡±


    ¡°Who could it be? Which disciple possesses such terrifying Sword Qi power?¡±


    At that moment, supreme beings within the deepest space of the Azure God Academy opened their eyes one by one.


    Within the Myriad Gods Imperial City, one supreme overlord after another looked towards the direction of Azure God Academy in astonishment.

 Chapter 388: 388: Walk from other streets?

    Chapter 388: Walk from other streets?


    The head of Azure God Academy, Chen Jing, was meditating deeply in the heart of the academy, seeking toprehend the supreme Sword Dao when he suddenly sensed the overwhelmingly surging Sword Qi power from the Secret Realm, which took him by surprise.


    ¡°Quick, investigate! Find out who hasprehended such an astonishing Sword Qi power!¡± Chen Jing abruptly stood up, hastily ordering the expert by his side.


    Within the Imperial Capital, the Yan Family¡¯s Sect Ancestor, Yan Sen, also stared intently at the astonishing Sword Qi above the Secret Realm with a grave expression, instructing his subordinates to quickly find out who had triggered such an astonishing Sword Qi.


    The other Supreme Sects¡¯ Ancestors also issued orders in session.


    Within the space of the Secret Realm, just as Yang Xiaotian condensed the fourteenth Sword Heart in an instant, the Son of Fan, Fan Wuyan, also condensed the tenth Demon God Sword Heart.


    Suddenly, Sword Qi pierced the sky, as strands of Demon God power stirred up the wind and clouds.


    The power of the ten Demon God Sword Hearts also caused a great tremor in the space of the Secret Realm.


    Around Fan Wuyan¡¯s body, the shadows of towering demons gathered while the shadows of ancient gods emittedyers uponyers of Divine Light.


    Above the Secret Realm, there also appeared various phenomena.


    Inside the Secret Realm, all the disciples who were participating in the assessment were rmed by the various phenomena triggered by Fan Wuyan.<div>


    ¡°The tenth Sword Heart! Fan Wuyan has really condensed the tenth Sword Heart! And it is the Strongest Sword Heart, the Demon God Sword Heart!¡±


    ¡°At the age of seventeen, to have condensed ten Invincible Sword Hearts¡ªwhat a stunning and invincible disy! The Fan Family is about to produce an unparalleled fierce dragon!¡±


    The disciples in the Secret Realm were abuzz, shocked.


    Because Eternal Night had shielded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s presence, the disciples within the Secret Realm could not sense Yang Xiaotian¡¯s presence. Moreover, since Yang Xiaotian¡¯s condensation of the fourteenth Sword Heart and Fan Wuyan¡¯s condensation of ten Sword Hearts happened simultaneously, many disciples in the Secret Realm thought that the phenomena just now were all triggered by Fan Wuyan.


    Soon, Chen Jing, Yan Sen, and others received their reports.


    ¡°What, Fan Wuyan from the Fan Family has condensed the tenth Demon God Sword Heart in the Secret Realm! And he has triggered all sorts of phenomena!¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Jing was taken aback.


    ¡°Yes, Headmaster! All the disciples within the Secret Realm have witnessed it with their own eyes; there can be no falsehood!¡± Azure God Academy¡¯s Supreme Elder, Peng Fei, spoke excitedly: ¡°Fan Wuyan, at the age of seventeen, has condensed ten Demon God Sword Hearts¡ªthis is simply a Divine Miracle of the Azure God Continent!¡±


    Chen Jing was also thrilled,ughing excitedly, ¡°For Azure God Academy to have such an unparalleled Sword Dao Genius, it is indeed fortunate for our academy and a blessing for the Azure God Continent!¡±


    When the Sect Ancestor of the Yan Family, Yan Sen, learned of the news, he too was filled with emotion: ¡°The Fan Family has produced another fierce dragon.¡±


    A thousand years ago, the Fan Family gave birth to a Fan Ming.


    Fan Mingter became a Sword God.


    And now, there was another, Fan Wuyan.


    ¡­


    After Yang Xiaotian condensed his fourteenth Sword Heart, he did not continue hunting Fierce Beasts. Instead, he sat down in an uninhabited ce, focusing on controlling the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts.


    Under his activation, the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts continuously evolved, transforming into various forms of Sword Qi around his body¡ªa sea of Sword Qi, then congregating into mountains of Sword Qi, and even turning into a continent of Sword Qi!


    Driven by the power of the fourteen Sword Heart, myriads of Sword Qi transformed into the myriad things of Heaven and Earth.


    Suddenly, the myriads of Sword Qi disappeared.


    To be precise, they did not disappear but merged into Heaven and Earth.


    When myriads of Sword Qi merge into Heaven and Earth, one can kill without being seen!<div>


    Yang Xiaotian could even kill the opponent with a single thought.


    This is the terrifying power of fourteen Sword Heart forces.


    Once fourteen Sword Hearts are condensed, one would possess unpredictable might.


    Moreover, activating the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts could form a Sword Armor that covers the body, even rendering one immune to the Sword Qi attacks of peers at the same realm.<div>


    For example, Xiaotian is now at the Venerable Realm and can ignore the Sword Qi attacks of all other Venerable Realm powerhouses.


    This is the invincible might of the fourteen Sword Hearts.


    While Xiaotian continued to evolve the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, he unknowingly had spent a day in the Secret Realm, and then he was sent out.


    Aftering out, Xiaotian approached the steward in charge of registrations, Wang Wang, took out the Assessment Token he had obtained earlier, and let Wang Wang inspect it.


    Wang Wang opened the Assessment Token space and saw one thousand four hundred and thirty-four spheres of light; seeing that Xiaotian had killed one thousand four hundred and thirty-four Fierce Beasts, he smiled, nodded at Xiaotian, and congratted, ¡°Congrattions, young brother, for hunting one thousand four hundred and thirty-four Fierce Beasts and sessfully passing the assessment!¡±


    Xiaotian achieved Martial Venerable status at the age of fourteen, which already attracted the attention of many experts when he registered, and now seeing that Xiaotian had indeed passed the assessment, they were all astonished.


    After all, being able to hunt over a thousand Fierce Beasts within a day was enough proof of Xiaotian¡¯s exceptionalbat prowess.


    Afterward, Wang Wang gave Xiaotian an Identity Tablet of the Azure God Academy Inner Sect Disciple and engraved Xiaotian¡¯s name on the tablet. He smiled at Xiaotian and said, ¡°Young brother, from now on you are a disciple of our Azure God Academy, and you are also the youngest disciple. Congrattions.¡±


    Xiaotian epted the Identity Tablet and smiled at Wang Wang, ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡±


    Then, Wang Wang handed a book to Xiaotian that detailed some of the rules and situations of the Azure God Academy, and he was very enthusiastic.


    Xiaotian thanked him and gave him a bag of low-grade Spirit Stones. Wang Wang, upon seeing this, smiled even more broadly and told Xiaotian he coulde to him anytime if he needed anything.


    Xiaotian did not rush to enter the Azure God Academy but left the square with the Demon Ape and others. Although he was now a disciple of the Azure God Academy, ording to the Academy¡¯s rules, Inner Sect Disciples were not allowed to bring guards or followers inside, so he nned to buy a residence in the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    In the future, the Demon Ape, Man Fang, and others would live and cultivate in the residence in Myriad Gods Imperial City.<div>


    The Azure God Academy was not far from the Myriad Gods Imperial City, making travel between them convenient.


    Moreover, it would also provide a ce for his family to stay when they came to the Myriad Gods Empire.


    Just as Xiaotian and his group were heading towards the Imperial City, Yan Jun also learned that Xiaotian had passed the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment.


    Upon hearing the news, his expression darkened, ¡°The kid passed the assessment?¡±


    Now that Xiaotian had passed the assessment and be a disciple of the Azure God Academy, they would now be much more hesitant to take action against him.


    At this moment, Xiaotian and the Demon Ape group were heading towards thergest trading association in the Myriad Gods Empire, and when they passed by the Mortal Tavern, they saw the establishment waspletely surrounded by guards from the Fan Family,yer uponyer.


    Laughter and merry voices came from within the tavern.


    Inside the tavern, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old was being surrounded and toasted by everyone.


    ¡°That is Fan Wuyan from the Fan Family,¡± Man Fang exined. ¡°It is said that the anomaly in the Secret Realm was caused by him when he condensed ten Demon God Sword Hearts, which has already caught the attention of the high-ranking members of Azure God Academy as well as various Sect Ancestors.¡±


    ¡°He must have booked the entire Mortal Tavern. These disciples from the super great families always prefer to clear the ce and act overbearingly,¡± grumbled the Iceme Qilin with displeasure.


    The guards from the Fan Family not only secured every entrance and exit of the tavern but even guarded the street in front of it.


    Just as Xiaotian and his group were about to pass by the tavern, a guard from the Fan Family stopped Xiaotian, ¡°This way is closed, please use another street.¡±


    <div>

 Chapter 389: 389: Cant Even Take One of My Sword Strikes

    Chapter 389: Can¡¯t Even Take One of My Sword Strikes


    Although the Fan Family guard was outwardly courteous, his tone brooked no dissent.


    ¡°Take another street?¡± The Immortal Demon Ancestor¡¯s demoniac energy surged as his eyes turned red at the mere suggestion of being shooed away by a Fan Family guard, ¡°You¡¯re telling us to take a detour?¡±


    Seeing the Immortal Demon Ancestor¡¯s eyes turn red, signaling his intention to strike, the Fan Family guard coldly said, ¡°Taking a detour is much better than losing your life. I advise you to take the detour.¡±


    ¡°If you take the street next to us, it¡¯s only a few hundred meters farther.¡±


    At this moment, inside the tavern, Fan Wuyan was toasting and making merry with a group of Fan Family experts.


    ¡°Congrattions to Wuyan for breaking the Azure God Academy record by condensing ten Sword Hearts at the age of seventeen!¡± Elder Fan Qing of the Fan Family said with a smile.


    ¡°At seventeen, Wuyan has passed the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment, definitely the youngest disciple in the history of the Academy!¡± Another Supreme Elder of the Fan Family, Fan Cheng, said with augh.


    ¡°Elder Cheng, I¡¯ve just received news that someone named Yang Xiaotian, aged fourteen, has also passed the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment today,¡± Fan Weihao, a disciple of the Fan Family, interjected.


    ¡°What? Fourteen years old?¡± The roomful of Fan Family experts was all shocked at the words of Fan Weihao.


    The crowd had thought that Fan Wuyan joining the Azure God Academy at the age of seventeen was already a record-breaker.<div>


    They had not expected a fourteen-year-old to emerge!


    Even Fan Wuyan was taken aback.


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s fourteen,¡± Fan Weihao said. ¡°However, he only hunted down one thousand four hundred and thirty-four Fierce Beasts.¡±


    Supreme Elder Fan Cheng of the Fan Familyughed and said, ¡°Only hunting down a little over a thousand Fierce Beasts, suchbat strength is weak, far inferior to Wuyan.¡±


    Fan Wuyan had personally hunted down more than twenty-seven thousand Fierce Beasts.


    Almost twenty times more!


    Another Supreme Elder, Fan Qing,ughed and said, ¡°If Wuyan drew his sword, he probably couldn¡¯t even withstand one of Wuyan¡¯s strikes.¡±


    Just then, suddenly, a dull thud and the sharp shouts of Fan Family guards came from outside the tavern.


    The Fan Family experts inside the tavern were all taken aback.


    Someone dared toy hands on their Fan Family guard?


    ¡°Let¡¯s go out and see,¡± Fan Wuyan stood up.


    He was curious to see who dared to attack their Fan Family guard.


    Could it be the Zeng Family? Or the Yan Family? Or perhaps the Shen Family?


    Shortly, Fan Wuyan and the others walked out of the tavern, and when they reached the entrance, they saw that several Fan Family guards who had been stationed at the door had all been thrown aside.


    Fan Weihao recognized Yang Xiaotian with some surprise: ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Obviously, he knew who Yang Xiaotian was.


    ¡°This is Yang Xiaotian!¡± he said to Fan Wuyan, Fan Qing, and the others.


    All eyes from Fan Wuyan, Fan Qing, and the other membersnded on Yang Xiaotian, filled with amazement.


    ¡°You are the fourteen-year-old who just passed the Azure God Academy assessment today?¡± Fan Wuyan looked Yang Xiaotian up and down, an arrogant expression on his face, ¡°However, you¡¯re quite bold, daring to injure my Fan Family¡¯s guard!¡±


    Supreme Elder Fan Qing of the Fan Family looked at Yang Xiaotian with interest and said, ¡°Your name is Yang Xiaotian, right? Are you interested in following our Son of Fan?¡±<div>


    ¡°Not the slightest interest,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head.


    Fan Wuyan¡¯s face turned cold: ¡°You think just anyone is qualified to follow me, kid, if you can¡¯t even catch a single strike of mine, you don¡¯t even have the qualifications to be my servant!¡± As he spoke, he pointed his index and middle finger together, substituting them for a sword, and made a shing motion.


    Instantly, a pir of astonishing Sword Qi roared towards Yang Xiaotian.


    The Sword Qi surged forth like thunder from the heavens, as piercing as an icy divine arrow, extremely sharp.<div>


    As the other¡¯s sword strike approached, Yang Xiaotian did not even invoke the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, nor did he activate the Primordial Dragon Art; he simply allowed the strike tond on him.


    ng!


    A resonant sound echoed.


    Fan Wuyan¡¯s sword struck Yang Xiaotian squarely.


    Light scattered in every direction.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, stood there, unmoved andpletely unscathed, without even retreating an inch.


    Fan Wuyan was astonished. He looked at Yang Xiaotian¡¯s chest where his Sword Qi had just struck, yet not even a slight mark was left behind, let alone a sword scar; Yang Xiaotian¡¯s clothing wasn¡¯t even wrinkled.


    Is the quality of his clothing that good?


    Fan Qing, Fan Cheng, and other masters of the Fan Family present were also full of surprise.


    They all had witnessed the power of that sword strike from Fan Wuyan just now.


    Even though Fan Wuyan had casually thrown out a sword strike with only ten percent of his strength, among their peers, there weren¡¯t many who could withstand even ten percent of the Son of Fan¡¯s power.


    And to speak of withstanding a strike from the Son of Fan without suffering a single injury was another matter altogether.


    After his initial surprise, Fan Wuyan said in a deep voice, ¡°No wonder you¡¯re so arrogant. It turns out you do have some skills, but don¡¯t be proud. That was just ten percent of my strength.¡±<div>


    ¡°Out of respect for you withstanding that strike of mine, I¡¯ll allow you to leave.¡±


    ¡°You all may go.¡±


    With that, he turned to head back into the tavern to continue his drinks.


    ¡°Since I have withstood your sword, you should also withstand one from me,¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly said.


    Fan Wuyan was taken aback.


    ¡°If you cannot even withstand a single one of my strikes, you do not have the qualifications to be a servant to me,¡± Yang Xiaotian continued, likewise using his two fingers as a sword andunching a strike.


    Instantly, the Sword Qi surged like oceans, illuminating Heaven and Earth.


    All the Fan Family masters around felt an overwhelming Sword Qi rushing towards them.


    Fan Wuyan was greatly rmed, and without a second thought, his True Yuan surged up, divine figures appeared behind him, shining brightly with Divine Light. On his body, ancient Brahmic scripts appeared; these scripts coalesced into an armor that shielded him.


    This was the Brahmic Divine Technique of the Fan Family.


    It was also the strongest Cultivation Technique of the Fan Family.


    At its peak, the Brahmic Divine Technique could consolidate up to ten thousand scripts. The more Brahmic scripts consolidated, the stronger the defense. Being able to condense ten thousand Brahmic scripts meant virtually invincible defense.


    And Fan Wuyan had already condensed a thousand Brahmic scripts; for a Martial Venerable to condense a thousand Brahmic scripts was extremely astonishing.<div>


    None of the past heads of the Fan Family had managed to condense a thousand Brahmic scripts at the Martial Venerable level.


    Boom!


    The moment Fan Wuyan¡¯s Brahmic Divine Armor activated, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Qi struck against the armoring.


    The armor¡¯s light shook violently.


    Fan Wuyan felt an immensely powerful force hammering at him, causing him to stagger backwards incessantly.


    One step, two steps, three steps.


    Eventually, he crashed through the tavern¡¯s front door and retreated all the way to a corner of the tavern, mming into a stone pir, shaking the building wildly.


    The thousand Brahmic scripts on his body flickered like a candle in the wind, seemingly on the verge of being annihted at any moment.


    The masters of Fan Family looked at the Son of Fan, who had been sted into the corner of the tavern, and stood there in utter shock, so much that even Fan Weihao was stupefied.


    Not only were the Fan Family masters stupefied, but Fan Wuyan, the Son of Fan himself, was also bewildered.


    He, the Son of Fan, the strongest disciple of the Fan Family in a millennium, had just been sent flying by an unknown youth!


    ¡°It seems you cannot even withstand a single one of my strikes,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice rang out as Fan Wuyan was still dazed.


    Unable to withstand even a single strike!<div>


    What does that make him?


    He doesn¡¯t even have the qualifications to serve me, Yang Xiaotian, as a servant!


    (Three more chapters toe tonight)

 Chapter 390: 390 Divine Residence Manor

    Chapter 390: Chapter 390 Divine Residence Manor


    Fan Wuyan¡¯s face looked terrible.


    With his twin top-tier Divine Bodies and the most supreme Supreme Martial Spirit, he had been invincible since childhood, never encountering a match among his peers. Not to mention a match, there were scarcely people who could withstand even one of his sword strikes.


    Thus, he grew up arrogant.


    Yet, just now, he had unexpectedly been repelled by a sword strike from Yang Xiaotian!


    And the opponent was only fourteen years old.


    Fan Wuyan clenched his fists tightly, his expression fluctuating, standing motionless to the point where he didn¡¯t even notice Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departure.


    A whileter, Fan Family¡¯s Supreme Elder Fan Cheng came before Fan Wuyan and said, ¡°The incident just now was abrupt, you were not prepared, and that¡¯s why you were repelled by the opponent. If you had activated the power of the ten great Demon God Sword Hearts, that Yang Xiaotian would definitely not be your match!¡±


    Fan Qing also spoke up, ¡°Elder Cheng is right. If you had activated the power of the ten great Demon God Sword Hearts, Yang Xiaotian would have no chance against you! Moreover, your sword strike just now was merely at ten percent of your strength, while Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sword strike was surely with all his might.¡±


    ¡°Besides, you didn¡¯t even utilize the power of your two top-tier Divine Bodies, let alone the power of your Supreme Martial Spirit and Soul Ring!¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t even be able to receive your single sword strike!¡±<div>


    The other top-notch experts of the Fan Family also echoed in agreement.


    Listening to Fan Cheng and Fan Qing¡¯s words, Fan Wuyan¡¯s eyes gradually regained their luster. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°You¡¯re right. In a short time, the new disciple trials begin at Azure God Academy. I will defeat him then!¡±


    He looked in the direction where Yang Xiaotian had left, his voice grave, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I hope you can withstand a sword strike powered by my ten great Demon God Sword Hearts at that time!¡±


    Fan Qing scanned the scene of Fan Family disciples and guards, and spoke sternly, ¡°Today¡¯s matter is not to be spread by anyone! Should anyone dare to disclose today¡¯s events, I will cut out that person¡¯s tongue!¡±


    Upon hearing this, all the Fan Family disciples fell silent as a chill.


    Everyone knew that Fan Qing was not joking.


    After Yang Xiaotian left, he, along with the Demon Ape and a few others, headed for the East Emperor Commerce Association.


    The East Emperor Commerce Association is the number one chamber ofmerce in the Myriad Gods Empire and the most powerful on the Azure God Continent, bar none.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the chamber, the entrance was bustling, incredibly lively, and teeming with people. Even though he had expected a crowd, the amount of people surprised Yang Xiaotian.


    You should know, a ce like the East Emperor Commerce Association would not have cheap wares. Every seemingly inconsequential item is valued at over ten thousand inferior Spirit Stones.


    Yang Xiaotian presented his identity token as a disciple of the Azure God Academy.


    Sure enough, upon learning that Yang Xiaotian was a disciple of the Azure God Academy, the clerk became very enthusiastic. When he heard that Yang Xiaotian wanted to buy an estate, his enthusiasm grew as he began to introduce him to various options.


    After listening to the clerk¡¯s introduction, Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Although the dozen or so mansions introduced were all nice, none of them met his requirements.


    ¡°Are there no other estates?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°I want something bigger.¡±


    This was his consistent preference when buying estates: they must berge, the bigger the better, for therger they are, the morefortable they feel.


    Hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted something bigger, the clerk hesitated briefly before saying, ¡°There is one mansion that is indeed veryrge, but it is not cheap¡ªit¡¯s the Divine Residence.¡±


    ¡°Divine Residence!¡± The Demon Ape eximed in surprise, ¡°The Divine Residence is for sale?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the Divine Residence is on the market, it just started being listed yesterday,¡± the clerk confirmed earnestly.<div>


    The Demon Ape exined to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The Divine Residence was the mansion of the Lord of Azure God in ancient times!¡±


    ¡°The Lord of Azure God!¡± Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    Following the fall of the Azure God, every era on the Azure God Continent had seen many incredibly dazzling individuals.


    For instance, the Master of Divine Beings, the King of Myriad Gods, the Beast Ancestor, the Undying Evil Venerable, the Dark Dragon, the Three Sword Gods, and the Corpse Demon.<div>


    And among them, the Master of Divine Beings was undoubtedly the most dazzling figure a hundred thousand years ago.


    A hundred thousand years ago, he was a contemporary of the Undying Evil Venerable, who had cultivated the Undying God Canon, yet even the Undying Evil Venerable was defeated by the Master of Divine Beings.


    The might of the Undying Death God was unquestionable.


    And the Undying Evil Venerable, who had cultivated the Undying God Canon, was not much weaker than the Undying Death God. In those days, the Undying Evil Venerable wreaked havoc and bloodshed; countless sects turned into Death Spirits, and everyone was so terrified that they dared not even step out of their doors.


    Just as the Azure Bear was about to make a move, a young man wielding the Divine Sword of the Divine Beings challenged the Undying Evil Venerable, and to everyone¡¯s disbelief, the Undying Evil Venerable was defeated!


    This young man was the Master of Divine Beings.


    It turns out that this Divine Mansion was actually the residence of the Master of Divine Beings.


    ¡°Whomissioned your chamber ofmerce to sell the Divine Mansion?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask after his shock.


    The clerk of themerce association shook his head, ¡°We can¡¯t disclose the customer¡¯s identity, but rest assured, the sale and procedures of this Divine Mansion are definitely legal.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded. The East Emperor Commerce Association was the most powerfulmerce association in the Azure God Continent, and its reputation could be trusted.


    ¡°How many Spirit Stones is the Divine Mansion selling for?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.


    ¡°Many of the Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Trees in the Divine Mansion were personally nted by the Master of Divine Beings back in his day, and the materials used for the mansion are the top-grade materials of the Azure God Continent, so the price is very high,¡± themerce association clerk said hesitantly yet firmly, ¡°It¡¯s being sold for one hundred billion inferior Spirit Stones.¡±


    ¡°One hundred billion!¡± the Iceme Qilin, the Azure Thunder Python, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, and Man Fang nearly sprayed out the drinks they had consumed a few days ago.<div>


    Even the Demon Ape was startled.


    What exactly did one hundred billion inferior Spirit Stones represent?


    A billion inferior Spirit Stones piled up would be a mountain.


    One hundred billion would equal a thousand mountains.


    Even for the Demon Ape and Iceme Qilin, who had seen their fair share of the world, the sight of one hundred billion inferior Spirit Stones was unheard of.


    Even for the prestigious ns of the Azure God Continent like the Yan Family and the Fan Family, managing to scrape together one hundred billion inferior Spirit Stones was no easy task.


    ¡°One hundred billion is a bit high,¡± themerce association clerk said somewhat embarrassedly, ¡°The Zeng Family, Yan Family, Fan Family, and the Nine-Tailed Fox n are all raising money. In the next couple of days, someone will probably buy the Divine Mansion.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy the Divine Mansion.¡±


    This time, it was themerce association clerk¡¯s turn to nearly spray out his drink.


    The clerk looked at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.


    This young man wants to buy the Divine Mansion?


    Yang Xiaotian took out a Space Ring, and after opening it, themerce association clerk took a nce inside, and just that nce nearly made him copse to the ground.


    ¡°Please proceed with the paperwork,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.<div>


    Themerce association clerk snapped out of his shock and quickly invited Yang Xiaotian and hispanions into the VIP room before reporting to the higher-ups.


    Soon, the upper echelons of the East Emperor Commerce Association were startled.


    Before long, Chairman Donghuang, the head of the East Emperor Commerce Association, appeared before Yang Xiaotian. He looked at Yang Xiaotian with a mix of surprise and skepticism, ¡°I am Donghuang Sheng, the chairman of the East Emperor Commerce Association. May I know the young friend¡¯s name?¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, then took out the Space Ring filled with inferior Spirit Stones and ced it in front of Donghuang Sheng, ¡°Chairman Donghuang, please count this and check if the amount is correct.¡±

 Chapter 391: 391: Ask Him to Move Out

    Chapter 391: Ask Him to Move Out


    Donghuang Sheng looked at the Space Ring before him, trying to maintain hisposure before opening it.


    Suddenly, a roaring tidal wave of Spiritual Energy surged out.


    It was as if Donghuang Sheng stood before a tsunami of Spiritual Energy, and he was momentarily overwhelmed.


    A few tens of thousands of Spirit Stones wouldn¡¯t create a significant amount of energy, but the energy from one billion Spirit Stones was astonishing, let alone a hundred billion!


    Gazing at the thousand Spirit Stone Mountain peaks before him, Donghuang Sheng collected himself and extended his Soul Power.


    Under the cover of his immense Soul Power, the inventory of Spirit Stones was quickly ounted for.


    It was exactly one hundred billion.


    With a smile, Donghuang Sheng said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master Yang, the count of Spirit Stones is correct. I will now proceed with the formalities for you.¡±


    The procedures went smoothly. With Donghuang Sheng personally handling them, they were soonpleted.


    Donghuang Sheng personally handed over to Yang Xiaotian the token to open the Divine Residence and a booklet detailing the Divine Mansion.<div>


    He then personally escorted Yang Xiaotian and hispanions out of themerce association.


    As he watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, he remarked, ¡°This young man is quite extraordinary.¡±


    Suchment caused the experts behind him to roll their eyes. Wasn¡¯t that obvious? Who else but someone extraordinary could produce one hundred billion Spirit Stones?


    ¡°Have you found out yet?¡± Donghuang Sheng cleared his throat and asked his subordinate.


    ¡°It has been confirmed. This Yang Xiaotian has just passed the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment today. At fourteen, he¡¯s the youngest Disciple of the academy. However, unfortunately, he only hunted down one thousand four hundred and thirty-four Fierce Beasts, which is far less than thebat strength of the second daughter,¡± replied an expert of themerce association promptly.


    At this word, Donghuang Sheng shook his head in resignation, thinking it a pity. Although joining the Azure God Academy at fourteen was impressive, merely hunting a little over one thousand four hundred Fierce Beasts meant that hisbat prowess was only average among the prodigies of the Azure God Academy.


    He was far from matching his own second daughter.


    His daughter was also at the Azure God Academy, having passed the academy¡¯s assessment the previous year, and she had hunted over sixteen thousand Fierce Beasts at the time.


    After leaving, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape arrived at the gates of the Divine Mansion.


    The gate was extremely wide, made of rare ck-metal iron, wide enough to allow four carriages to pass side by side.


    The surrounding walls were built of Meteoric Ironstone and seemed endless at a nce.


    Although they had heard from Donghuang Sheng that the Divine Mansion was vast, the sight of the seemingly endless wall still caused astonishment among them.


    Using the mansion¡¯s token, Yang Xiaotian lifted the mansion¡¯s prohibitions and entered with hispanions.


    In a typical estate, upon entering, one would see rockeries and fish ponds, but here, they actually saw a real mountain.


    The mountain was filled with various ancient trees and Spirit Flowers, as well as pces, pavilions, and Spiritual Spring waterfalls.


    Beyond the mountain was a in, and on the in sat aplex of pces.


    The streets of the pceplex were crisscrossed, with ancient trees and Spirit Flowers also nted along the walkways, creating a spectacr scenery.


    This was the Divine Mansion.


    Yang Xiaotian felt as if he had stepped into an ancient town.<div>


    In terms of area alone, the Divine Mansion wasparable to many small towns.


    Gazing at the enchanting scenery of the Divine Mansion bathed in sunlight, Yang Xiaotian grew more and more satisfied; it was like a tranquil haven amidst the bustling world.


    Moreover, the Spiritual Energy within the mansion was extremely rich, making it an ideal ce for cultivation.


    This one hundred billion was well spent.<div>


    The Demon Ape and hispanions were also amazed by the sight of the Divine Mansion.


    Theplex housed three hundred and sixty-five pces, embodying the number of the Grand Cirction, and each pce was made from premium materials. These materials could gather the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, which was precisely why the Divine Mansion was suffused with such rich Spiritual Energy.


    Yang Xiaotian moved into the main pce.


    The Demon Apes and others took up residence in the pces surrounding the main pce.


    However, just the main pce itself housed over a dozen rooms and several courtyards.


    Above the main gate of the pce, Yang Xiaotian also saw the ancient runes ¡°Above All Divine¡± carved by the Lord of the Divine with Sword Qi, exuding an unsurpassed domineering aura, giving one the shocking impression of towering above all heavens and deities.


    As he gazed upon these four characters, feeling the supreme Sword Dao contained within, the fourteen Sword Hearts within Yang Xiaotian felt an itching to stir.


    The reason why the Divine Residence was so coveted was also because the pce had many sword characters left by the Lord of the Divine with Sword Qi. These characters, which subtly embodied the supreme Sword Dao, were a peerless treasure for swordmasters.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and the others took residence in the Divine Mansion, several unwee guests arrived at the East Emperor Commerce Association.


    ¡°What, the Divine Mansion has been sold?¡± Princess Bai Li¡¯s expression turned rather unsightly.


    She had learned just yesterday that the Divine Mansion was up for sale, and had gathered a hundred billion lower-grade Spirit Stones by selling everything, even her beloved sword, but upon arriving at the East Emperor Commerce Association, she was informed it had already been sold!


    Suppressing the frustration in her heart, Bai Li asked Donghuang Sheng, ¡°Uncle Donghuang, who exactly bought the mansion?¡±


    Donghuang Sheng shook his head and said, ¡°We can¡¯t reveal the customer¡¯s name to you, they purchased it just over two hours ago.¡±<div>


    Upon hearing this, Bai Li regretted even more that if it hadn¡¯t been for a two-hour dy on the road, the Divine Mansion wouldn¡¯t have been bought by someone else.


    A short whileter, Bai Li left the Commerce Association, her face the picture of disappointment.


    The young man apanying Bai Li spoke in a grave voice, ¡°If Sister Bai Li likes the Divine Mansion, then let¡¯s have him move out.¡±


    The young man was none other than Shen Yuwen, a Core Disciple of the Shen Family.


    Shen Yuwen¡¯s grandfather was one of the most powerful Ancient Ancestors of the Shen Family.


    ¡°Make him move out of the Divine Mansion?¡± Bai Li was astonished.


    Although Donghuang Sheng did not reveal the buyer¡¯s identity, she had nheless managed to find out that it was a youth named Yang Xiaotian who had bought it.


    This Yang Xiaotian, he couldn¡¯t be a disciple from any of the superpower forces on the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Indeed, let¡¯s have him move out, and afterwards, we¡¯ll just give him an extra million lower-grade Spirit Stones,¡± said Shen Yuwen.


    ¡°This, isn¡¯t it a bit inappropriate?¡± Bai Li hesitated.


    Shen Yuwen understood Bai Li¡¯s concern and said, ¡°The Divine Mansion has already been sold and no longer falls under the jurisdiction of the East Emperor Commerce Association. Even if we make that kid move out, the Commerce Association won¡¯t be able to say anything.¡±


    ¡°Besides, the kid just bought it two hours ago, and now he¡¯s about to make a quick million lower-grade Spirit Stones for nothing¡ªI doubt he¡¯d dare toin.¡±


    Bai Li was tempted.<div>


    ¡°If Sister Bai Li feels uneasy about speaking up, I¡¯ll do it,¡± said Shen Yuwen, and then he led Bai Li towards the Divine Mansion.


    Soon, they arrived at the Divine Mansion.


    Looking at the majestic and domineering Divine Mansion before her, Bai Li felt her heart race even more.


    ¡°Young Master, should I call the boy out?¡± a Shen Family guard asked Shen Yuwen for instructions.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that trouble,¡± said Shen Yuwen, and with that, he suddenly punched towards the mansion¡¯s main gate.


    Boom!


    The gate of the Divine Mansion resonated with a thunderous sound.


    Yang Xiaotian was inside the pce, nning to practice all his swordsmanship techniques when suddenly the mansion vibrated tremendously and the protective light shimmered, leaving him astonished.


    Almost simultaneously, the six Demon Apes appeared by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go out and check,¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened, and then he led the six Demon Apes flying towards the mansion¡¯s main gate.

 Chapter 392: 392 Life God Fruit

    Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Life God Fruit


    ¡°`


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions arrived at the mansion¡¯s gate and saw the experts from the Nine-Tailed Fox n and the Shen Family.


    ¡°Nine-Tailed Fox n, Shen Family.¡± The Demon Ape furrowed his brow upon seeing the attire of the few people.


    Both the Nine-Tailed Fox n and the Shen Family were existences no weaker than the Yan Family of the Myriad Gods Empire.


    The Nine-Tailed Fox n, born with nine tails, are supreme within the fox race, with incredibly powerful bloodlines, and are one of the ancient ns with the strongest bloodlines in the Azure God Continent.


    And the Shen Family, there are all sorts of miraculous legends about them.


    Some say that the progenitor of the Shen Family is a descendant of the ancient divine race, that is why the direct descendants of the Shen Family all possess divine race bloodlines.


    In both the distant antiquity and the earlier ancient times, the Shen Family had been the unparalleled overlords of the Azure God Continent, with one of the ancient ancestors of the Shen Family being the strongest war god under the Lord of Azure God.


    ¡°Indeed, we are from the Nine-Tailed Fox n and the Shen Family.¡± Shen Yuwen, seeing that the Demon Ape had recognized them, didn¡¯t waste words. He looked at Yang Xiaotian and said arrogantly with his hands behind his back, ¡°So you are Yang Xiaotian who bought the Divine Residence? Move out now!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, puzzled about what the other party wanted with him, heard themand to move out, and after a moment of surprise, his expression turned cold, ¡°Move out?¡±<div>


    Shen Yuwen red at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Princess Jiuhu wants to buy the Divine Residence, and we are giving you one hundred billion inferior Spirit Stones plus an additional million inferior Spirit Stones. Move out now.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Shen Yuwen and Bai Li before retorting, ¡°Idiot!¡±


    ¡°What did you say?!¡± After a moment of shock, Shen Yuwen¡¯s face became ugly, his eyes shing with cold light.


    Bai Li was also dumbfounded.


    As a princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox n and one of the six great beauties of the Myriad Gods Empire, Bai Li embodied beauty and talent in one. Everywhere she went, she was adored and pursued by disciples of various ns and sects.


    What she heard was always praise and ttery; she had never been called an idiot before.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear clearly?¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently: ¡°I said you¡¯re an idiot. If you still haven¡¯t heard clearly, I¡¯ll have my subordinates say it louder.¡±


    Shen Yuwen¡¯s face flushed red with anger, his long sword pointing furiously at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You!¡±


    However, just as he pointed his sword at Yang Xiaotian, it was sent flying by a finger force from the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The astonishing power forced Shen Yuwen to keep retreating.


    Shen Yuwen and the others were shocked.


    ¡°Point your sword at our Young Master again, and next time it won¡¯t just be your sword flying away.¡± The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said coldly: ¡°Next time, I¡¯ll break your entire arm.¡±


    Shen Yuwen trembled with rage as he red at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Do you know what the consequences of offending me are? My grandfather is the strongest ancient ancestor of the Shen Family.¡±


    ¡°Oh, your grandfather is the strongest ancient ancestor of the Shen Family.¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at him scornfully: ¡°And then what?¡±


    Seeing that disdainful look in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, Shen Yuwen felt like vomiting blood.


    ¡°If you dare to attack my mansion gate again, I¡¯ll break your fingers one by one.¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly, then turned away, no longer paying attention to Shen Yuwen and Bai Li, and entered the Divine Residence.


    Shen Yuwen watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure as he entered the Divine Residence, with an ugly expression on his face.


    ¡°Young Master, that martial expert by that kid¡¯s side is no simple character. We better head back first,¡± a guard next to Shen Yuwen advised softly with his head bowed.


    Shen Yuwen suppressed his rage.<div>


    The Divine Residence was within the Imperial Capital, and if Yang Xiaotian did not agree to move out voluntarily, Shen Yuwen wouldn¡¯t dare to seize it by force, since it would cause too much of a scene.


    ¡°Sister Bai Li, let¡¯s go back for now!¡± Shen Yuwen said to Bai Li, his face showing embarrassment, then added: ¡°Rest assured, I will make sure that this kid hands over the Divine Residence obediently.¡±


    ¡°`


    Bai Li nodded. After ncing at the figure of Yang Xiaotian, she never expected that this youth named Yang Xiaotian, even after knowing her identity and Shen Yuwen¡¯s, would be so disrespectful.<div>


    She looked deeply and unwillingly at the Divine Residence.


    Her intention to buy the Divine Residence was not only because it was left by the Lord of Azure God but also because it contained shocking secrets.


    It was for this reason that she was willing to risk everything, even if it meant spending all her wealth, to acquire the Divine Residence.


    However, now that this young man surnamed Yang had refused, they could only leave for now and find another wayter.


    ¡°Investigate the identity of this Yang!¡± Shen Yuwenmanded his subordinates in a cold voice after leaving.


    Several guards from the Shen Family respectfully agreed.


    After Bai Li and Shen Yuwen¡¯s group had left, Yang Xiaotian returned to the pce to continue practicing his swordsmanship.


    As for the matter with Shen Yuwen, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    After practicing all the sword techniques, Yang Xiaotian had a new understanding of the various Supreme Divine Sword Techniques.


    He felt that if he continued to practice like this, it wouldn¡¯t take long for his Myriad Aspects Sword Qi, Shocking Heaven Sword Art, Sword of ughter, Immortal Sword Technique, and other swordsmanship to fully embody the true essence of Martial Dao.


    Unconsciously, night fell.


    Yang Xiaotian stood in the air, hovering above the pce.


    The night at the Divine Residence was enchanting, with a gentle breeze and the fragrance of Spirit Flowers.<div>


    Looking at the tranquil night sky, Yang Xiaotian pondered how to quickly enhance his True Yuan and vitality. Now that he had broken through to the realm of Martial Venerable, he could take the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, which was far more effective in boosting True Yuan than the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.


    Inside the Azure God Academy there was a Medicine Hall where buying medicinal materials as a disciple was much cheaper than outside. He nned to enter the academy tomorrow to purchase materials to refine the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.


    However, what troubled Yang Xiaotian was his vitality.


    He had to open three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go, which required his vitality to break through to a radius of twenty thousand li.


    At present, his supply of Tribtion Thunder Water was not much, far from enough to increase his vitality to twenty thousand li.


    But Tribtion Thunder Water was incredibly hard to find; where could he find so much of it?


    Yang Xiaotian could not help but ask Master Ding if there was another way to rapidly increase his vitality.


    Master Ding pondered for a moment and said, ¡°You have a Life God Tree. Although the Life Essence Fluid can also enhance vitality, its effect is far less than the Life God Fruit.¡±


    ¡°Life God Fruit!¡± Yang Xiaotian was startled, remembering the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit he had obtained previously in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, which had boosted his vitality from a radius of two thousand li to seven thousand!


    Master Ding said, ¡°Although the Life God Fruit is not as good as the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, the difference is not much. If you can consume three Life God Fruits, you can boost your vitality to twenty thousand li in one fell swoop.¡±


    ¡°However, getting the Life God Tree to bear Life God Fruits is tough! Typically, the Life God Tree bears a fruit only once every hundred thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Your Life God Treest bore fruit eighty thousand years ago.¡±


    So the next time the Life God Tree will bear fruit is in twenty thousand years!<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was frustrated.


    ¡°However, I recall you obtaining a pile of Divine Medicine waste in the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling. That is excellent material to cultivate a Divine Tree. If you use all that Divine Medicine waste as fertilizer for the Life God Tree to absorb, it should be able to quickly bear Divine Fruit,¡± reminded Master Ding.


    Yang Xiaotian pped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten about that pile of Divine Medicine waste.

 Chapter 393: 393: Four Beauties, Four Swords

    Chapter 393: Four Beauties, Four Swords


    There was no time to dy, and Yang Xiaotian immediately took out the pile of Divine Medicine residue he had obtained in the Thousand Buddha Medicine God¡¯s cave dwelling.


    Indeed, that pile of Divine Medicine residue was anything but small, towering a full man¡¯s height when heaped up.


    Yang Xiaotian directly dumped all the Divine Medicine residue onto the Life God Tree like it was fertilizer.


    The roots of the Life God Tree surged with light, continuously devouring the medicinal power contained within the Divine Medicine residue.


    Though it was only residue, the medicinal power contained within this pile was still astonishing. The tree¡¯s green radiance surged, and the light of life flowed out like a tide without end.


    On the branches of the Life God Tree, life blossoms began to burst forth.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    ¡°Based on the absorption rate, the Life God Tree should bear Life God Fruits by tomorrow night,¡± Master Ding nodded and said with a smile.


    The Life God Tree, nted in his cauldron space, devoured the medicinal power of the Divine Medicine residue, spewing out the aura of life, which was also beneficial for the recovery of his Divine Essence.


    So, Yang Xiaotian let the Life God Tree continue devouring, nning to check on the results the following night.<div>


    A night of cultivation.


    Yang Xiaotian felt refreshed and invigorated.


    The next day, he rose early and summoned all six of the Demon Apes to the great hall.


    Once they had arrived, Yang Xiaotian immediately ordered them to gather information about the Divine me, Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and Divine Level Elixirs with all their might.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted information on the Divine me, Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and Divine Level Elixirs, the six Demon Apes could only smile wryly.


    Each of these items was harder to find than thest.


    Yang Xiaotian was also aware that whether it was Divine me, Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, or Divine Level Elixirs, they were all difficult to find. He smiled at them and said, ¡°I know these items are hard toe by. Just do your best to gather information.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±


    ¡°I am looking to recruit a hundred Saint Realm Powerhouses. As for gathering information, do you have any suggestions?¡± Yang Xiaotian mused.


    Now that he hade to the Myriad Gods Empire, he was utterly in the dark and urgently needed to understand the situation of various factions within the empire. Therefore, he wanted to recruit a group of Saint Realm Powerhouses to help him gather information.


    In a ce like the Myriad Gods Empire, where mighty realm warriors were asmon as clouds, the strength of those he would recruit naturally couldn¡¯t be too weak.


    However, recruiting Divine Spirit Powerhouses was virtually impossible, so he set his sights on the Saint Realm Powerhouses.


    ¡°Recruiting Saint Realm Powerhouses.¡± The Iceme Qilin shook its head. ¡°Those frence Saint Realm warriors usually pledge allegiance to ancient families like the Zeng Family, Yan Family, and Shen Family. It will be difficult for the Young Master to recruit a hundred Saint Realm Powerhouses.¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python nodded, ¡°Also, these frence Saint Realm warriors value benefits highly and we can¡¯t guarantee they won¡¯t have ulterior motives.¡±


    ¡°Young Master, how about I dispatch a hundred Saint Realm Powerhouses from the Annihting Heaven Demon Sect in Zhongzhou to be at yourmand?¡± The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor pondered for a moment before suggesting.


    ¡°Or perhaps, I can also send a hundred Saint Realm Powerhouses from the Dwarf n to follow yourmands,¡± Man Fang also hastily suggested. ¡°They would be eager to serve by the Young Master¡¯s side.¡±


    After a moment¡¯s consideration, Yang Xiaotian agreed to both the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor¡¯s and Man Fang¡¯s propositions.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor and Man Fang, seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s agreement, showed joy on their faces and hurriedly contacted the experts of the Annihting Heaven Demon Sect and the Dwarf n.


    Yang Xiaotian gave a few more instructions to the Demon Apes and the Iceme Qilin, then left the Divine Residence and headed for the Azure God Academy.<div>


    Upon arriving at the academy¡¯s square, the ce was still teeming with crowds.


    Yang Xiaotian bypassed the square, holding his identity token, and entered the Azure God Academy.


    At the moment Yang Xiaotian entered the Azure God Academy, the Shen Family¡¯s guards were reporting back to Shen Yuwen the information they had gathered.


    ¡°Oh, that Yang Xiaotian is also a disciple of our Azure God Academy?¡± Shen Yuwen was surprised.<div>


    ¡°Yes, Young Master, he passed the assessment yesterday. He hunted over fourteen hundred Fierce Beasts,¡± his subordinate hurriedly replied.


    ¡°Over fourteen hundred,¡± Shen Yuwen sneered, ¡°Such trashbat power and he still dares to be arrogant! Yang Xiaotian, the academy¡¯s trial for new disciples ising up soon. I will beat you until you¡¯re half-dead, until you wish you were dead or alive, alive or dead!¡±


    He was also a disciple of the Azure God Academy, having passed the assessment the previous year.


    The Azure God Academy held its trials for iing disciples once every three years.


    All the disciples who passed the assessment within these three years would participate in the trial for new disciples.


    Therefore, he would participate in this session of the trial for new disciples along with Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡­


    After arriving at the academy, Yang Xiaotian first went to the designated ce for registration. The disciple who received him then provided Yang Xiaotian with the academy disciple¡¯s robe, sword, Cauldron Furnace, and Elixirs, as well as arranged a ce for him to stay.


    Every Inner Sect Disciple who joined the Azure God Academy was allocated a mountain peak.


    These mountain peaks had been impressively modified with pces, martial arts training squares, and fields for medicinal herbs, with rich spiritual energy.


    Looking at the mountain peak assigned to him, Yang Xiaotian felt that the treatment for Inner Sect Disciples at the Azure God Academy was indeed excellent. He could tell that whether it was the pce or the fields for medicinal herbs, they were all made of high-quality materials and spirit soil.


    Moreover, the Azure God Academy had a Spirit Vein buried underneath, which connected to the mountain peaks where the Inner Sect Disciples cultivated. Therefore, the spiritual energy on each mountain peak was very dense.


    ¡°Senior brother, may I ask how to get to the Medicine Hall?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired of the disciple who received him and then threw him a pouch containing a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.<div>


    The disciple received the pouch of Spirit Stones, weighed it in his hand, and said with a beaming smile, ¡°Junior brother, you¡¯re being too polite.¡± Yet as he spoke, he carefully pocketed the pouch. He continued, ¡°You¡¯re new here and unfamiliar with the academy. Come on, I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded, sping his fists.


    So, the disciple led Yang Xiaotian towards the Medicine Hall.


    As the two chatted along the way, Yang Xiaotian soon learned that the other¡¯s name was Liao Zihong.


    Perhaps because of the thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, Liao Zihong was very enthusiastic towards Yang Xiaotian, informing him about the various peaks and divisions of the Azure God Academy, and even shared with Yang Xiaotian many of the academy¡¯s monstrously talented disciples.


    The disciples of the Azure God Academy were divided into Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples.


    However, only after breaking through to the tenth level of Martial Venerable could one be promoted to Core Disciple.


    The most dazzling disciples of the Azure God Academy were known as the Four Beauties and the Four Swords.


    ¡°Four Beauties and Four Swords?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    Liao Zihong nodded, ¡°The Four Beauties are the four most beautiful women in our academy. They¡¯re also recognized by the Myriad Gods Empire as the most beautiful women of the young generation. They are Princess Jiuhu, Donghuang Xiu, Princess Myriad Gods, and Miss Zeng Qianqian.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Princess Jiuhu?¡± Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected that the Jiuhu Princess he had met the day before was one of the Four Beauties of the Azure God Academy.


    ¡°What, you¡¯ve seen Princess Jiuhu?¡± Liao Zihong, seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression, asked in surprise.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°I met her yesterday, there was a bit of a conflict, I called her an idiot.¡±<div>


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Liao Zihong burst out, spraying something out of his mouth.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.


    ¡°I was just joking,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Liao Zihong then breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Brother, I thought you were serious. In the Azure God Academy, you can offend the Four Swords but never offend the Four Beauties. The suitors for the Four Beauties could line up from this mountain peak to that one. If you offend the Four Beauties, you probably won¡¯t even know how you died.¡±


    Chatting, the two flew toward the Medicine Hall.


    While Yang Xiaotian was on his way to the Medicine Hall, the Yan Family¡¯s Yan Long and Yan Jun were also flying there, likewiseing to the Medicine Hall to purchase materials for Alchemy.

 Chapter 394: 394: He Cant Be Stronger Than Fan Wuyan, Can He?

    Chapter 394: He Can¡¯t Be Stronger Than Fan Wuyan, Can He?


    Liao Zihong then continued to talk to Yang Xiaotian about the Four Swords.


    The Four Swords were the disciples of the Azure God Academy with the highest natural talent and the strongest skill in the Sword Dao.


    The two soon arrived at the Medicine Hall.


    Since martial artists required elixirs for their cultivation, the Medicine Hall was always busy, with numerous disciples visiting each day to purchase medicinal herbs.


    Inside the great hall, many disciples were queuing at the windows and counters to buy medicinal herbs and elixirs.


    However, Yang Xiaotian noticed one window without a queue and couldn¡¯t help asking Liao Zihong, who exined, ¡°The medicinal herbs at that window are of the finest quality, but only the direct disciples of the various great ancestors are permitted to make purchases there.¡±


    ¡°Alternatively, if you manage to clinch the top spot as a neer, you would also be allowed to buy medicinal herbs there.¡±


    ¡°The herbs at that window are not only of the finest quality but are also very reasonably priced, sold at twenty percent off the market rate.¡±


    This was the privilege of those exceptionally talented disciples!


    So, all that talk about equality for everyone by the sects and nations was nothing but empty words.<div>


    ¡°To be eligible for buying medicine at that window, I would need to secure the first-ce spot among the neers?¡± Yang Xiaotian thought aloud, asking.


    Liao Zihong nodded, ¡°Yes, if you can secure the first rank among the neers, you will enjoy many privileges within the Azure God Academy. Not only can you buy medicinal herbs at a twenty percent discount, but you would also have ess to train in the Dragon Blood Pond.¡±


    ¡°The Dragon Blood Pond?¡± Yang Xiaotian inquired.


    ¡°Training for one day in the Dragon Blood Pond is equivalent to a month of arduous cultivation outside,¡± Liao Zihong said. ¡°Moreover, training in the Dragon Blood Pond can significantly enhance one¡¯s vitality.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, if you can secure the neer¡¯s top spot, the resources you enjoy every month will be tenfold that of the other new disciples. For instance, the elixirs and spirit stones distributed to you would be ten times what the others get.¡±


    ¡°Tenfold!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, if you can conquer the Divine Shadow Sword and be the direct disciple of the dean, the resources you will enjoy are even more astonishing. In the academy, you would virtually have whatever you desire, as the academy would spare no effort in nurturing you!¡± Liao Zihong said, full of emotion. ¡°However, it¡¯s been so many years, and no disciple has ever managed to find the Divine Shadow Sword. Bing the dean¡¯s direct disciple is no easy feat.¡±


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian queued up to buy medicinal herbs.


    Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take as long as it did at the Celestial Burial Academy, and Yang Xiaotian soon acquired the needed medicinal herbs.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and Liao Zihong were about to leave, they saw two figures break through the sky and enter the Medicine Hall.


    ¡°It¡¯s Yan Long of the Yan Family! Yan Long, who possesses the Supreme Bone and Golden Divine Dragon bloodline!¡± On seeing the arrivals, the hall immediately erupted into a tumultuous buzz of activity.


    Yan Long had passed the evaluation by hunting down a total of ten thousand fierce beasts.


    He had also managed to open up thirty-two meridians in one go.


    Even among the host of geniuses in the Azure God Academy, he was definitely a standout.


    Yan Long walked into the hall with his head held high, moving towards the window. As he passed, all the disciples made way for him, and even Liao Zihong hurriedly stepped aside, fearful of being a moment too slow.


    Just as Yan Long was making his way to the window, Yan Jun, who was following behind him, noticed Yang Xiaotian. Yan Jun appeared briefly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to encounter Yang Xiaotian in the Medicine Hall.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian! It¡¯s you!¡± Yan Jun¡¯s face instantly turned cold.


    Upon hearing this, Yan Long stopped in his tracks, his face a picture of astonishment as he looked towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Yan Jun had already briefed him about Yang Xiaotian on the way there.<div>


    ¡°Kid, I heard you told Yan Jun to roll away or die the day before yesterday, right?¡± Yan Long looked at Yang Xiaotian with a side nce, his voice thick with murderous intent.


    As soon as Yan Long¡¯s words came out, all the disciples in the great hall were shocked.


    Liao Zihong was also frightened and hurriedly distanced himself from Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°So what if it is?¡± Yang Xiaotian nced at Yan Long and said indifferently.<div>


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s unconcerned demeanor, Yan Long¡¯s eyes grew even colder, ¡°If you roll out of here now, out of the great hall¡¯s doors, I can let bygones be bygones regarding the incident the day before yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, at the new disciples¡¯ martial arts trial, I will make you regret it!¡±


    On hearing this, Yang Xiaotian said coldly, ¡°Make me regret?¡± He then said, ¡°Defeating someone like you, one move is more than enough.¡±


    Yan Long was stunned, Yan Jun and all the disciples in the great hall were stunned as well.


    Yan Longughed in anger, ¡°Defeat someone like me with just one move?¡± He said to the disciples in the great hall with augh, ¡°Did you all hear that? This Yang Xiaotian, who passed the examination by hunting over a thousand fierce beasts, now says he needs just one move to defeat me!¡±


    Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian, their expressions nothing short of strange.


    Even Liao Zihong had a strange look on his face.


    Yan Long stared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Kid, we¡¯ll see at the martial arts trial next month.¡± He then sneered, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you to defeat me in one move,¡± his words dripping with disdain.


    Having said that, he turned around and left.


    Yang Xiaotian scanned the crowd but didn¡¯t find Liao Zihong¡¯s figure, shook his head with a smile, and then turned around and left.


    On the way back, Yang Xiaotian thought about the matter with Yan Long.


    Perhaps it was his change in appearance over the past two years, Yan Long no longer recognized him from their encounter in the Soul Sea.


    He probably had also forgotten the incident where he had said he would gouge out Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes.<div>


    Because refining top-grade elixirs could trigger heavenly tribtion, Yang Xiaotian did not return to his mountain peak but left the academy to find a secluded ce and only then did he begin to refine the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.


    The Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill was a sixth-grade elixir, ten times more difficult to refine than the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill, demanding better technique and a higher requirement for the Heaven and Earth Fire. However, sessful in controlling both of his Divine mes at the same time, Yang Xiaotian still managed to sessfully refine a top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.


    While Yang Xiaotian was refining the top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, the incident with Yan Long that urred in the Medicine Hall spread and caused quite a stir at the Azure God Academy.


    After all, Yan Long was the most talented disciple of his generation from the Yan Family, receiving much attention.


    Yet now, there was a new disciple iming he could defeat him in one move!


    This matter even reached the ears of the academy¡¯s dean, Chen Jing.


    Chen Jing heard this andughed it off, ¡°The calf doesn¡¯t fear the tiger just because it is newly born!¡± He turned to the elder beside him, Li Bi, with a smile, ¡°Back in the day, when we first entered the academy, we were also full of youthful gantry, wanting to challenge Senior Brother Zeng. Afterwards, Senior Brother Zeng beat me up so badly in the martial arts trial that my face was swollen and my nose was bruised, and I even broke quite a few bones!¡±


    The Senior Brother Zeng he mentioned was the son of Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang of the Azure God Mansion, Zeng Dong, and also the grandfather of one of the Four Beauties, Zeng Qianqian.


    Li Biughed, ¡°However, this Yang Xiaotian, able to cultivate to the Martial Venerable realm at the age of fourteen, must have consumed some heaven-defying treasures!¡±


    Chen Jing was also puzzled, arguing that even if one consumed heaven-defying treasures, such rapid cultivation was still unlikely, unless it was something truly against the heavens.


    He joked to Li Bi, ¡°Maybe this little guy Yang Xiaotian really could defeat Yan Long.¡±


    Li Bi shook his head with a smile, ¡°Defeating Yan Long in one move, even Fan Wuyan couldn¡¯t do it, so I don¡¯t believe this kid can manage it. He surely can¡¯t be stronger than Fan Wuyan, right?¡±


    Chen Jing changed the subject and suddenly said, ¡°Senior Brother Zeng once mentioned that when the Undying Death God snuck into the Eternal Burial Ground, he was sted away by a peerless powerhouse from the burial ground. When Lord Azure Bear saw the Undying Death God in the Eternal Burial Ground, thetter¡¯s corner of the mouth was still dripping blood!¡±<div>


    ¡°What, there¡¯s such a peerless powerhouse in the Eternal Burial Ground?!¡± Li Bi was greatly shocked.

 Chapter 395: 395 Sword God Xi Long

    Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Sword God Xi Long


    ¡°I was also shocked when Senior Brother Zeng told me,¡± Chen Jing said with a face full of reverence, ¡°Lord Azure Bear suspects that the Undying Death God was injured inside the Eternal Heavenly Tomb!¡±


    ¡°Inside the Eternal Heavenly Tomb!¡± Li Bi shuddered, ¡°Could it be that the ancient ancestor from the Netherworld Demon Sect inside the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was the one who made the move?¡±


    Chen Jing shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but at that time, the strongest ancient ancestor of the Fan Family, Fan Ming, and Deng Feng from the Yin Wind Sect, among others, were all inside the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. Lord Azure Bear asked both Fan Ming and Deng Feng, but whether it was Fan Ming or Deng Feng, they both shook their heads saying they didn¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°However,¡± continued Chen Jing, ¡°Senior Brother Zeng said that from the look of Fan Ming, Deng Feng, and the others, they seemed to know something, they just refused to tell.¡±


    Li Bi was filled with shock and suspicion.


    Even when faced with questions from Lord Azure Bear, Fan Ming and Deng Feng refused to speak, indicating their fear of that peerless powerhouse.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s good news for us that the Undying Death God was first wounded by Lord Azure Bear and then severely injured by that peerless figure in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. At least for the next few years, the Undying Death God won¡¯t dare to run amok,¡± said Chen Jing with relief. ¡°Lord Azure Bear said that it would take at least ten years for the Undying Death God to recover from his injuries.¡±


    As the two were discussing the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian, who had concocted a top-tier Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, returned to his own mountain peak.


    It was gettingte.


    Realizing that nearly a day had passed, Yang Xiaotian hurried to check on the Life God Tree.<div>


    After devouring a pile of waste from divine medicines, the Life God Tree appeared even more lush and dripping with verdancy. Green life essence surged powerfully, and on its branches, a tender, fresh fruit had appeared.


    The fruit was green, enticingly so, as if one could squeeze divine water from it. It emitted a soft divine light and a fragrance that permeated the air. A single whiff made one feel as if their very soul might drift away.


    This was the Life God Fruit.


    A Life God Fruit that had juste into existence.


    It even smelled better than the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.


    Looking at the newly grown Life God Fruit, Yang Xiaotian swallowed.


    He suppressed his overwhelming joy, plucked the Life God Fruit from the tree, and immediately sat cross-legged inside the pce, unable to wait any longer to consume the Life God Fruit.


    Suddenly, an overwhelming divine power of life exploded within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    His internal organs trembled chaotically.


    Luckily, Yang Xiaotian possessed the Dragon Emperor¡¯s Body, which made his internal organs incredibly resilient. Otherwise, that burst of life essence would have been enough to st his organs into mush.


    The divine power of life was so overwhelming that Yang Xiaotian frantically circted the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Around his body, strands of True Essence Dragons began to coalesce.


    The Martial Souls of ck Tortoise and ck Dragon, two Supreme Kings, coiled above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head, also continuously devouring the divine power of life, transforming it into the purest True Yuan and vital energy for Yang Xiaotian.


    The twin million-year Soul Rings also flickered incessantly.


    Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian had activated the restrictions of his mountain peak, so the auras of the two Supreme King Martial Souls and the twin million-year Soul Rings did not alert the academy disciples.


    Even so, the Inner Sect Disciples who were rtively close to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mountain peak felt an unsettling sensation, as though they were being watched by two terrifyingly supreme beings.


    This situation caught the attention of the academy Elders.


    However, no matter how they searched, they could not figure out the reason.


    As Yang Xiaotian devoured the life essence from the Life God Fruit, his cultivation level and vital energy began to surge wildly.<div>


    Especially his vital energy, which increased dramatically.


    Soon, it reached eleven thousand li.


    And it was still rising.


    His cultivation level was also continuously improving.<div>


    In just a few days, he broke through to the early peak of the first level of the Martial Venerable realm, then to the mid-stage!


    Mid-stage peak!


    Late stage!


    Unbeknownst to him, twenty days had passed.


    ¡°`


    The Life God Fruit had finally beenpletely refined by Yang Xiaotian.


    As Master Ding predicted, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vital energy had risen to over thirteen thousand miles.


    Although the Life God Fruit mainly increased vital energy, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength had also broken through to the secondyer of the Martial Venerable realm.


    Breaking through the Martial Venerable realm meant that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation had increased much slowerpared to when he was a Martial Emperor. If he had cultivated with a top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, it would have taken over three months to break through to the secondyer of Martial Venerable.


    However, now Yang Xiaotian had only used twenty days to achieve the breakthrough to the secondyer of Martial Venerable.


    Seeing that there were still two days left before the new disciple trial, Yang Xiaotian left the academy and arrived at the Divine Residence.


    At that moment, a hundred Saint Realm experts from the Annihting Heaven Demon Sect had just rushed over from Zhongzhou, led by the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, who hurried to meet Yang Xiaotian.


    These experts from the Annihting Heaven Demon Sect, all rebellious and untamed, clearly had been disciplined by the Demon Ape, Old Bing, and Old Meng. When they saw Yang Xiaotian, they were utterly respectful and dared not even breathe heavily.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian checked the condition of these Saint Realm experts and was very satisfied, then he instructed the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor to send them out to gather information.


    As for the lodging issues of these Annihting Heaven Demon Sect experts, Yang Xiaotian was not worried. The Divine Residence had three hundred and sixty-five pces, which would be more than enough even when the Dwarf n experts arrived.


    ¡°During these days when I was not here, did anyone from the Nine-Tailed Fox n and the Shen Familye?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°There has been no such thing,¡± the Demon Ape said.


    ¡°Young master, we¡¯ve gathered some information. It¡¯s said that tomorrow someone important from the Azure God Mansion wille to the Azure God Academy,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor suddenly said.


    ¡°Oh, someone important?¡± Yang Xiaotian was curious.


    ¡°It is one of the four deities of the Azure God Mansion, the Sword God Xi Long,¡± said the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    ¡°Sword God Xi Long!¡± Iceme Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, Man Fang, and Man Hu were all greatly shocked.


    The Demon Ape also showed a surprised look.


    The Azure God Mansion was the power left behind by the Lord of Azure God, and its strength was undoubted. Among its many experts, aside from Lord Azure Bear, undoubtedly the strongest were the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion and the four deities.


    Speaking of the four deities of the Azure God Mansion, no one is not in awe.


    The Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi of the Celestial Burial Academy might be powerful, but when facing the four deities of the Azure God Mansion, he still didn¡¯t measure up.


    The four deities of the Azure God Mansion were absolutely the most top-tier existence in the Azure God Continent.<div>


    Now, they were going to visit the Azure God Academy.


    ¡°Why does that old man Xi Long want toe to the Azure God Academy?¡± the Demon Ape asked the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    This matter was something that the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had also just found out about, so the others also learned of it at that moment.


    ¡°It¡¯s said that Fan Wuyan has condensed out ten Demon God Sword Hearts, and the day after tomorrow is the new disciple trial of the Azure God Academy. Lord Xi Long is probablying for Fan Wuyan,¡± exined the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    ¡°Coming for Fan Wuyan? Does Lord Xi Long wish to take Fan Wuyan as his disciple?¡± Iceme Qilin spected.


    Everyone was surprised.


    They hadn¡¯t expected that Sword God Xi Long wasing for Fan Wuyan.


    However, it also made sense; Fan Wuyan having condensed ten Demon God Sword Hearts at such a young age was a dazzling aplishment through the ages. It was no surprise that Sword God Xi Long was moved to ept him as a disciple.


    But as everyone thought about Fan Wuyan¡¯s uing battle with Yang Xiaotian, their expressions became varied.


    ¡°Sword God Xi Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian murmured.


    Afterward, he did not leave the Divine Residence but began to cultivate there.


    The next day, he returned to the Azure God Academy.


    As soon as he got back, he heard the disciples enthusiastically discussing Princess Tian Wanqing of the Sky Demon n and Princess Lin Mei¡¯er of the Charm n.<div>


    Turns out, both Tian Wanqing and Lin Mei¡¯er had passed the Azure God Academy¡¯s assessment that day.


    The performances of the two were extremely dazzling, especially Tian Wanqing, who possessed the Mad Demon Bloodline, had killed more than twenty thousand Fierce Beasts, almost matching Fan Wuyan.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 396: 396 The More Xi Long Watches, The More Shocked He Becomes

    Chapter 396: Chapter 396 The More Xi Long Watches, The More Shocked He Bes


    ¡°`


    ¡°Once the Sky Demon Princess unleashed her Mad Demon Bloodline, transforming into a mad demon, not a single Fierce Beast could withstand her punch, ughtering them so fiercely that the creatures in the Secret Realm shivered in fear!¡±


    ¡°I heard that the Sky Demon Princess¡¯s Mad Demon Bloodline can now amplify her madness by eight times, directly giving her eight times the fighting power. Which Fierce Beast could possibly stand against that?¡±


    ¡°The Charm n Princess is also very strong, having brought her Shadow Charm Divine Skill to Great Aplishment. Her Shadow Charm movement technique is unpredictable, plus, I¡¯ve heard she¡¯s as beautiful as Princess Jiuhu and the others.¡±


    When the past male disciples discussed Tian Wanqing and Lin Mei¡¯er, their faces lit up with excitement and their eyes sparkled.


    ¡°Tian Wanqing, Lin Mei¡¯er.¡± Xiaotian didn¡¯t expect the two women to have alsoe to the Azure God Academy.


    Moreover, Tian Wanqing¡¯s Mad Demon Bloodline had improved, and she could now unleash it eightfold.


    Thest time he had sparred with Tian Wanqing, she had only been capable of fourfold madness.


    He was curious just how strong the eightfold madness would be.


    Since both Tian Wanqing and Lin Mei¡¯er had passed the Azure God Academy¡¯s examination, they were new disciples of the Academy, and they were sure to participate in tomorrow¡¯s new disciple trials.<div>


    Xiaotian returned to his own peak.


    By evening, the disciples of the Azure God Academy were once again astir.


    The reason was that just now, two more exceptional monstrous geniuses had passed the examination of the Azure God Academy.


    One was Buddha Source Academy¡¯s Buddha Son Tang Huan!


    The other was the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess from the Heavenly Dragon Temple.


    ¡°I heard that this Buddha Son, while in the Secret Realm, activated both the Tathagata Buddha Body and the Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body! He even used the Space me and Great Sea me! He ughtered countless Fierce Beasts so pitifully that it was simply terrifying!¡±


    ¡°What, two top-tier Divine Bodies, and he possesses two of the top ten Abnormal Fires? How can it be that such a horrifying monstrous genius exists in the world?!¡±


    ¡°The Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess, with the power of the Heavenly Dragon coursing through her, received personal guidance from her great-grandmaster, the Heavenly Dragon Sword God. Her mastery of the Sword Dao is transcendent!¡±


    The crowd of disciples chattered excitedly.


    Upon hearing that both Tang Huan and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess Yao Qingxue hade to the Azure God Academy, Xiaotian¡¯s interest piqued.


    He didn¡¯t expect the two to be here.


    Back in Buddha Source, although he had sparred with Wei Zongyuan, he never got the chance to cross swords with Tang Huan.


    He had always wanted to witness the might of the Tathagata Buddha Body and Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body.


    He just didn¡¯t know if he would get the chance to see them in action tomorrow.


    The night finally passed.


    The sky started to brighten.


    Sunshine draped across all things on the earth like ayer of nine-colored gauze.


    Xiaotian left the pce, took to the sky, and flew towards the trial square.


    As Xiaotian flew to the trial square, Yan Long, Yan Jun, and other disciples also made their way there.<div>


    Almost simultaneously, Xiaotian and Yan Long, among others, arrived at the square.


    Yan Long, seeing Xiaotian, let out a cold snort and naturally didn¡¯t have a good expression.


    Xiaotian ignored Yan Long and stood among the crowd, waiting calmly for the trials to begin.


    As more and more disciples arrived, Xiaotian soon became engulfed in the sea of people.<div>


    ¡°Princess Jiuhu!¡±


    At that moment, someone eximed excitedly.


    The crowd looked, and saw a breathtaking beauty in a white dress descending among the crowd onto the square¡ªit was Princess Jiuhu Bai Li.


    Beside Bai Li was Shen Yuwen, dressed in a blue sword robe.


    ¡°Shen Yuwen! One of the two great Junior Divine of the Shen Family!¡±


    The Shen Family only bestows the title of Junior Divine on disciples with potential to be divine.


    And this generation of the Shen Family had two shockingly brilliant individuals, one of whom was Shen Yuwen.


    Seeing Shen Yuwen arrive, Yan Long¡¯s expression became grave.


    Although he possessed the Supreme Bone and the Dragon Blood of the Golden Divine Dragon, facing Shen Yuwen, he didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit confident.


    ¡°`


    Because Shen Yuwen¡¯s divine lineage had reached an astonishing ny-five percent.


    In the Shen Family, a disciple with a divine lineage that reached ny percent would be recognized as one capable of bing a deity, and yet, Shen Yuwen¡¯s divine lineage was at ny-five percent!


    Even the current head of the Shen Family did not possess such a high percentage of divine lineage.<div>


    After Shen Yuwen arrived, he scanned the crowd and said coldly, ¡°Has that kid shown up yet?¡± referring to Yang Xiaotian.


    Bai Li also surveyed the scene.


    She too wanted to see if that youth hade.


    After all, it was the first time she had been called an idiot, so she had an extremely deep impression of Yang Xiaotian.


    She had also heard about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s incident with Yan Long of the Yan Family.


    However, there were too many people present, and neither she nor Shen Yuwen could find Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°The Buddha Son and the Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden!¡±


    Just at that moment, suddenly, someone called out.


    All eyes swiftly turned, and even Bai Li couldn¡¯t help but look towards the distance, only to see a young man and woman approaching through the sky.


    The man was dressed in a white robe, spotless and clean, handsome and extraordinary, while the woman was so stunning it was difficult for anyone to look away.


    The neers were none other than Buddha Son Tang Huan and Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden Yao Qingxue.


    Bai Li had heard as early as yesterday that the Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden was unbelievably beautiful, and although she felt somewhat ufortable about it, even she had to admit the incredible beauty of the Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden Yao Qingxue upon seeing her today.


    Whether it was Yan Long or Shen Yuwen, both could hardly conceal their astonishment upon seeing the approaching Buddha Son and Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden.<div>


    Both looked solemnly at Buddha Son Tang Huan, who was approaching through the air.


    As someone who possessed two of the top divine bodies and controlled two of the top ten Abnormal Fires, the pressure Tang Huan ced on them was not to be underestimated.


    Following the arrival of Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue, Sky Demon Princess Tian Wanqing and Charm n Princess Lin Mei¡¯er also arrived one after another.


    Lastly, Fan Wuyan from the Fan Family arrived.


    When Fan Wuyan arrived, everyone fell silent.


    Fan Wuyan walked slowly, like a Supreme Divine King arriving unhurriedly, exuding no aura yet causing the disciples present to catch their breath.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lord Chancellor!¡± Just as Fan Wuyan had arrived at the scene, suddenly, a master called out.


    The crowd was taken aback.


    The chancellor was actuallying to watch the trial?


    Generally, for the new disciples¡¯ trials, the presence of any ancestral master to oversee it would suffice, but the crowd saw arge group of masters flying in from afar.


    Apart from Chancellor Chen Jing, there were the academy¡¯s ancestral masters, Supreme Elders, Elders!


    The crowd was shocked; what was happening? The high-level executives of the Azure God Academy were all mobilizing! This was exceedingly rare.


    Was it really just to watch this trial of the new disciples?<div>


    Soon, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others all arrived above the za, and suddenly, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others all bowed into the void, saying, ¡°We wee the esteemed Lord Sword God Xi Long!¡±


    An elderly figure with a tall stature emerged from the void. He was not wearing a sword, but his very presence was an insurmountable sword, piercing the heavens.


    There he stood, the epitome of Supreme Sword Dao!


    ¡°Sword God Xi Long!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Sword God Xi Long!¡±


    Countless disciples excitedly bowed down, some even prostrating themselves.


    Even Fan Wuyan, Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, Tang Huan, and others were shocked and thrilled, instinctively bowing as well.


    Yang Xiaotian, amidst the crowd, also bowed in respect to Sword God Xi Long.


    Sword God Xi Long cast a nce over the crowd and smiled, ¡°No need for such formalities, I was just passing by to take a look.¡± Then, at the invitation of Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others, he took his seat at the presiding table.


    As Xi Long gazed at the array of new disciples from the academy, his eyes swept past Yang Xiaotian and then suddenly stopped, fixating on Yang Xiaotian once more. The more he looked, the more surprised he became, for the youth simply stood there, seemingly blended into the surrounding Heaven and Earth as one.


    It was the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm!

 Chapter 397: 397 Make a Move

    Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Make a Move


    Cultivating Divine Skills allows one to enter the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, but such a state is serendipitous and extremely difficult to achieve. However, being able to casually enter it with ease is even more extraordinary!


    ¡°Who is this youth?¡± Xi Long couldn¡¯t help but be surprised and asked the Elder beside him, Chen Jing.


    Chen Jing didn¡¯t expect Xi Long to suddenly turn to him. After a moment of surprise, he followed Xi Long¡¯s gaze towards Yang Xiaotian.


    All the spectators turned curious upon hearing Xi Long¡¯s inquiry and also looked over.


    Everyone saw Yang Xiaotian amid the crowd.


    Princess Jiuhu Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, Tian Wanqing, and Lin Mei¡¯er, among others, all looked at Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Divine Yang of the Emperor Sanqian!¡±


    ¡°Son of Terror!¡±


    The voices of Tang Huan, Tian Wanqing, and a few others echoed almost simultaneously.


    Upon recognizing it was Yang Xiaotian, Tang Huan¡¯s face dramatically changed, his heart almost stopping in fright.<div>


    Lin Mei¡¯er and Yao Qingxue, on the other hand, showed faces of delightful surprise.


    Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, and the others were taken aback that Tang Huan, Tian Wanqing, Yao Qingxue, and others knew Yang Xiaotian. Hearing Tang Huan and Tian Wanqing¡¯s titles for Yang Xiaotian, everyone was stunned.


    Divine Yang of the Emperor Sanqian?


    Son of Terror?


    And from Tang Huan¡¯s expression, it seemed he was terrified of Yang Xiaotian?


    Hearing Tang Huan¡¯s exmation about Yang Xiaotian, Chen Jing was surprised at first, then looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment, ¡°You are Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    This Yang Xiaotian, of course, he remembered, wasn¡¯t he the youth who imed he would defeat Yan Long with a single move?


    ¡°I have seen the dean, I am Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian said calmly, slightly bowing, cupping his fists in greeting.


    A slight stir emerged within the crowd.


    ¡°Is he the same one who hunted over a thousand Fierce Beasts during the assessment and yet imed he would defeat Yan Long with a single move?¡±


    ¡°During his assessment, Yan Long hunted ten thousand Fierce Beasts; a single finger could crush him.¡±


    ¡°The Buddha Son just called him Emperor Sanqian; I wonder why he is referred to as Emperor Sanqian?¡±


    Many Disciples whispered among themselves.


    Heavenly Dragon Sword God Xi Long, however, smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Your name is Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Lord Xi Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied respectfully.


    Xi Long nodded with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll remember that.¡± Although those Disciples were discussing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s killing of just over a thousand Fierce Beasts during the assessments, he had a feeling that this youngster would surprise him in the uing trial.


    Subsequently, all the Disciples began to draw lots to determine their opponents for the first round of thepetition.


    Yang Xiaotian drew the number four for the first round.


    As fate would have it, the one who also drew number four was Princess Lin Mei¡¯er of the Charm n.<div>


    Standing on the stage, Lin Mei¡¯er looked at Yang Xiaotian, her face brimming with joy. She stepped forward, gave a slight bow, and said with a smile, ¡°Young Master, we meet again.¡±


    ¡°These days, Mei¡¯er has been inquiring after Young Master¡¯s whereabouts; I never expected to encounter Young Master here.¡±


    Lin Mei¡¯er couldn¡¯t hide her inner excitement and delight.


    Indeed, she had been looking for Yang Xiaotian all this while.<div>


    Later, when she found out that Yang Xiaotian might have already left the Hundred n Empire, she regretted it in her heart.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at Lin Mei¡¯er, also smiled, ¡°I also didn¡¯t expect Miss Mei¡¯er toe to Azure God Academy. Please, Miss Mei¡¯er, make your move.¡± Saying this, he gestured for her to begin.


    However, Lin Mei¡¯er turned to the Elder referee below the stage and said, ¡°I surrender.¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    As soon as Lin Mei¡¯er spoke, all the Disciples were shocked and abuzz.


    Keep in mind that during her assessment, Lin Mei¡¯er had hunted nearly twenty thousand Fierce Beasts, yet she was surrendering to Yang Xiaotian!


    The Elder referee frowned, ¡°Why?¡±


    He was aware of Lin Mei¡¯er¡¯s strength.


    He suspected that Lin Mei¡¯er was deliberately throwing the match.


    Lin Mei¡¯er shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t even take a single move from Young Master Yang, why bother making a fool of myself?¡±


    Some disciples heard this and couldn¡¯t help but burst into a ¡°Pfft¡± ofughter.


    What did Lin Mei¡¯er just say?


    She can¡¯t even take a single move from Yang Xiaotian?<div>


    Lin Mei¡¯er, who had hunted nearly twenty thousand Fierce Beasts during the assessment, said she couldn¡¯t even take a single move from Yang Xiaotian?


    No one at the scene, including Chen Jing, who furrowed his brows in skepticism, could believe it. If speaking of strength, Lin Mei¡¯er was even stronger than Yan Long. How could it be that she couldn¡¯t take a single move from Yang Xiaotian?


    Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, Yan Long, and others were equally astonished.


    Fan Wuyan and Tang Huan, however, clenched their fists tightly.


    ¡°Can¡¯t take a single move?¡± Lord Xi Long from the chair¡¯s centermented with a smile, ¡°Interesting.¡±


    His curiosity about the youth named Yang Xiaotian grew. What kind of talent did he possess?


    Was it one of the top ten exceptional Golden Cores?


    Or one of the ten Invincible Sword Hearts?


    Or perhaps, a pair of Supreme Martial Spirits?


    And how many years did his Soul Ring possess?


    In the end, the referee could only dere Yang Xiaotian the winner of the bout since there was no rule stating Lin Mei¡¯er couldn¡¯t forfeit voluntarily.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian win the first bout this way, Yan Long¡¯s expression darkened, and Shen Yuwen was also not looking good.


    Like the other disciples, neither believed the nonsense that Lin Mei¡¯er couldn¡¯t take even a single move.<div>


    Soon, it was time for the second round. This round brought Yang Xiaotian to a rueful smile; his opponent turned out to be the Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden, Yao Qingxue.


    On the stage, Yao Qingxue looked at Yang Xiaotian, hardly concealing her joy, though her expression was much more subtle. She smiled and said, ¡°Young Master Yang, we meet again.¡±


    Hearing Yao Qingxue¡¯s tone of voice, almost identical to Lin Mei¡¯er¡¯s, the crowd wore bizarre expressions.


    As expected, Yao Qingxue turned to the referee and said, ¡°I am no match for Young Master Yang, I forfeit.¡±


    Everyone exchanged perplexed looks.


    The Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess, so beautiful she seemed not of this world, with talent almost rivaling Fan Wuyan, was admitting she was no match for Yang Xiaotian and voluntarily forfeiting!


    On the chairman¡¯s podium, Lord Xi Long became even more curious. He knew Yao Qingxue was the disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sword God, and he wondered what kind of talent Yang Xiaotian possessed that even the Heavenly Dragon Sword God¡¯s disciple would concede defeat so readily.


    Then came the third bout.


    In the third round, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponent was the Tathagata Buddha Son, Tang Huan.


    Seeing his third-round opponent was Tang Huan, Yang Xiaotian was invigorated. He had long wanted to witness Tang Huan¡¯s Tathagata Buddha Body and Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body.


    Standing on the stage, Yang Xiaotian looked at Tang Huan and said, ¡°Tang Huan, we meet again. I¡¯ve never witnessed your Tathagata Buddha Body and Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body, please make your move.¡±


    All eyes were on Tang Huan.


    Tang Huan, however, clenched his fists tightly, his expression fluctuating between hope and despair.<div>


    The news of Wei Zongyuan being killed by Yang Xiaotian had been confirmed.


    Some even said that Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, eight Sword Hearts, and Supreme Martial Spirit had all been sted away by a single punch from Yang Xiaotian.


    Not even the ashes of Wei Zongyuan were left behind.


    Although he didn¡¯t know if the news was true, it had be an indelible nightmare in his heart.


    If the news was true, and even Wei Zongyuan¡¯s hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring had been destroyed, how terrifying was the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch!


    The more Tang Huan thought about it, the more frightened he became.


    He tried to control the fear in his heart, but it was uncontroble.


    Everyone could see Tang Huan¡¯s fear, and they were astonished and bewildered.


    ¡°Make your move!¡± Yang Xiaotian said again, seeing Tang Huan standing there silently.


    Make your move! These words were like divine thunder, shaking Tang Huan to the core.


    Suddenly, like a wounded Fierce Beast, he roared and madly stimted his True Yuan; the Tathagata Buddha Body surged wildly as a series of Buddha God¡¯s Lights burst forth.

 Chapter 398: 398: Twelve Sword Hearts Emerge

    Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Twelve Sword Hearts Emerge


    ¡°`


    As streams of Buddha God¡¯s Light shot into the sky, a Tathagata Buddha image condensed behind Tang Huan.


    When this Tathagata Buddha image appeared, a series of Buddhist chantings emerged in the sky.


    Under the Buddhist chantings, everyone felt an urge to kneel and prostrate.


    The Tathagata Buddha is the most powerful Buddha in the world.


    Even Sword God Xi Long¡¯s face became serious at the sight of the Tathagata Buddha image taking shape.


    When the Buddha image was formed, Tang Huan¡¯s body erupted with sword light, and within the bursting sword light, there was a golden sun radiating Buddha¡¯s light.


    ¡°Tathagata Buddha Body!¡±


    ¡°Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body!¡±


    Seeing Tang Huan¡¯s two supreme Divine Bodies, Fan Wuyan was also greatly shaken.<div>


    All the disciples present retreated in shock under the pressure of Tang Huan¡¯s two supreme Divine Bodies.


    ¡°This is one of the ancient world¡¯s ten mightiest Buddha Bodies! So powerful! It¡¯s said that when the Tathagata Buddha Body is cultivated to its peak, all gods and demons submit, and all demons retreat!¡±


    ¡°The Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body, invincible in defense, and its Sword Qi carries the might of the great sun; being struck by the Great Sun Sword Qi, one would be instantly incinerated to ashes.¡±


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others also marveled at Tang Huan as the Tathagata Buddha Son, with his Tathagata Buddha Body and Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body.


    With both Divine Bodies fully activated, Tang Huan walked towards Yang Xiaotian step by step.


    Just when everyone thought Tang Huan was about to make his move, he stopped in front of Yang Xiaotian, staring at him with a face that fluctuated between shades, clearly still struggling internally.


    This scene left the crowd filled with astonishment and doubt.


    They couldn¡¯t understand what Tang Huan was afraid of.


    Standing there, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s frail figure seemedpletely harmless¡ªcould he really be that fearsome?


    ¡°I concede.¡± Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Huan suddenly spoke, and after saying that, he seemed to let go of a heavy burden, letting out a big sigh of relief.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    They couldn¡¯t understand why Tang Huan, even after manifesting both Divine Bodies, didn¡¯t make a move in the end!


    Tang Huan didn¡¯t have the courage to even strike at Yang Xiaotian!


    First Lin Mei¡¯er, then Yao Qingxue, and now Tang Huan.


    Could Yang Xiaotian truly be that strong?


    Otherwise, why would Tang Huan be so afraid?


    Originally, Shen Yuwen and Yan Long didn¡¯t believe it, but seeing Tang Huan concede, they couldn¡¯t help but feel their conviction waver.


    On the main stage, Sword God Xi Long stared intently at Yang Xiaotian with burning eyes, and said to Chen Jing, ¡°What kind of talent could this kid have?¡±


    ¡°Could it be one of the top three superb Golden Cores?¡± Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly, ¡°His Soul Ring¡ªis it possible it¡¯s a hundred thousand year Soul Ring?¡±<div>


    Li Bi shook her head, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a hundred thousand year Soul Ring.¡±


    A hundred thousand year Soul Ring, she still felt, was too improbable.


    ¡°Perhaps, he possesses one of the three Great Divine Bodies!¡± she pondered aloud.


    The crowd was astounded.<div>


    Three Great Divine Bodies!


    Yet there was silence among them.


    Although it was unbelievable to think someone could have the three Great Divine Bodies, the Lord of all deities in ancient times possessed them.


    The Yang Xiaotian before them might indeed have them.


    Below the stage, many disciples were also whispering among themselves, obviously discussing Yang Xiaotian and specting about his talent.


    Even Princess Jiuhu Bai Li had her beautiful eyes wide open, equally curious whether Yang Xiaotian truly had the three Great Divine Bodies.


    Amidst the crowd¡¯s curiosity and spection, the fourth round of thepetition began.


    In this round, Yang Xiaotian drew the Fan Family¡¯s Fan Wuyan as his opponent.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian had drawn Fan Wuyan for this match, there was an uproar among the disciples.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was to face Fan Wuyan in this match, Sword God Xi Long straightened up, as he came to the Azure God Academy specifically for Fan Wuyan.


    ¡°`


    To be precise, it was for the ten Sword Hearts of Fan Wuyan.


    Yang Xiaotian and Fan Wuyan came onto the stage.<div>


    Chen Jing and the senior officials of Azure God Academy watched the two without blinking.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Bai Li, along with all of Shen Yuwen¡¯s disciples, were also visibly tense.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian,st time in the Imperial Capital, I did not use the power of the ten Sword Hearts or the two Divine Bodies, which is why I lost to you,¡± Fan Wuyan stared at Yang Xiaotian across from him and said, ¡°Today, I will use the power of my ten Sword Hearts and two Divine Bodies, and I will defeat you!¡±


    Fan Wuyan¡¯s words surprised everyone.


    ¡°What, Fan Wuyan has crossed swords with Yang Xiaotian? When did this happen!¡±


    ¡°And Fan Wuyan actually lost!¡±


    Xi Long, Chen Jing, and the others were taken aback.


    After Fan Wuyan finished speaking, Demonic Qi surged around his body, and one after another, the powers of the Demon God Sword Hearts awakened, the Demonic Qi shot up to the sky, and shadows of towering demons and ancient gods emerged.


    Demonic Qi and Divine Light intertwined.


    The authority of the Demon God swept across Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Ten Demon God Sword Hearts!¡± Seeing all ten of Fan Wuyan¡¯s Demon God Sword Hearts awaken, the higher-ups of Azure God Academy, as well as Bai Li and all of Shen Yuwen¡¯s disciples, could not hide their shock and excitement.


    Xi Long¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and he was filled with excitement; after all, these were ten Demon God Sword Hearts, even though he himself only had ten Sword Hearts and Fan Wuyan was merely seventeen years old.


    Following that, the two Divine Bodies of Fan Wuyan were activated.<div>


    Immediately, an even more zing Divine Light radiated around him.


    Standing there, Fan Wuyan was like an ancient Demon God in the flesh.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, in this battle, I will go all out, and I hope you will do the same and not hold back,¡± Fan Wuyan, holding the Demon God Sword, said coldly, ¡°Draw your sword.¡±


    ¡°Fan Wuyan, do you really think that the phenomenon in the Secret Realmst time was caused by you?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly spoke.


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡°What does Yang Xiaotian mean? Could it be thatst time the phenomenon in the Secret Realm wasn¡¯t caused by Fan Wuyan?¡±


    ¡°Impossible, Fan Wuyan condensed ten Sword Hearts; the phenomenon in the Secret Realm was definitely caused by him, we saw it with our own eyes!¡±


    The disciples argued among themselves.


    Just as Chen Jing, Bai Li, and others were puzzled, suddenly, a surge of nine-colored light burst forth from Yang Xiaotian, and beams of nine-colored Sword Qi shot out.


    In an instant, the power of ten Sword Hearts awoke.


    ¡°Ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!¡± Xi Long, Chen Jing, and others were greatly shocked.


    Fan Wuyan was dumbfounded, Yang Xiaotian had also condensed ten Sword Hearts?


    But at that moment, the nine-colored Sword Qi inside Yang Xiaotian shed again.<div>


    ¡°Eleven Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s eleven Sword Hearts!¡±


    ¡°This is impossible!¡±


    Xi Long and Chen Jing both suddenly stood up from their seats, their faces filled with astonishment.


    Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, Yan Long, and others were incredulous, even Buddha Son Tang Huan was frightened. When Yang Xiaotian left Buddha Source Empire, he had only nine Sword Hearts, and now he had actually condensed eleven!


    Just as everyone was reeling in shock, suddenly, nine-colored Sword Qi within Yang Xiaotian burst forth once more.


    ¡°Twelve!¡± Xi Long and Chen Jing shouted out loud.


    The academy¡¯s elders who had just stood up from their seats were so scared that they fell back into them.


    This time, even Sky Demon Princess Tian Wanqing was scared. Her face was filled with shock; during herst fight with Yang Xiaotian, he only had eleven Sword Hearts, and in such a short time, he had actually condensed twelve!


    All those present were so shocked they didn¡¯t know where to put their hands and feet.


    Twelve Sword Hearts, it was actually twelve Sword Hearts!


    Fan Wuyan was also trembling with fear, having thought his ten Sword Hearts were the pinnacle of this era, but now, he saw twelve!


    As for Yan Long of the Yan Family, he was incessantly shivering, his face as pale as a zombie.

 Chapter 399: 399: The World is Shocked

    Chapter 399: Chapter 399: The World is Shocked


    Twelve Sword Hearts!


    Amidst the shock of the crowd, all eyes turned to Lin Mei¡¯er, Yao Qingxue, and Tang Huan.


    It was then that everyone finally understood why Lin Mei¡¯er and Yao Qingxue admitted defeat to Yang Xiaotian without fighting, why they conceded voluntarily.


    They also finally realized why Tang Huan dared not challenge Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian actually possessed twelve Sword Hearts, twelve Nine-Colored Invincible Sword Hearts!


    ¡°The pinnacle of Azure God!¡± an ancestral figure from the Azure God Academy eximed in shock.


    Currently, on the Azure God Continent, no one else had condensed twelve Sword Hearts.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian was the most talented person on the Azure God Continent in terms of the number of condensed Sword Hearts.


    Fan Wuyan took a deep breath to steady his slightly trembling hands, gripped the Demon God Sword firmly, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, even if you have twelve Sword Hearts, I still wish to battle with you!¡±


    His eyes zed with a fierce will to fight, and a strong confidence surged within him.<div>


    Even if Yang Xiaotian had twelve Sword Hearts, he remained confident in challenging him to a battle.


    Because, not only did he possess ten Sword Hearts, but he also had two top-tier Divine Bodies.


    Moreover, his Martial Soul was the ultimate Supreme Martial Spirit.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian.


    In the midst of their shock, they couldn¡¯t help but feel excited.


    A battle between twelve Sword Hearts versus ten great Sword Hearts and two top-tier Divine Bodies¡ªwho would be stronger?


    ¡°You wish to battle with me?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression was calm.


    Fan Wuyan took another deep breath, his tone resolute, ¡°Indeed, I wish to battle with you. Make your move!¡±


    Xi Long, Chen Jing, and others held their breath.


    As everyone watched, suddenly, rays of golden light burst forth from within Yang Xiaotian. The golden brilliance illuminated the world, dazzling all who saw it as the most radiant light in existence.


    Witnessing this astonishing golden light, Tang Huan felt his heart palpitate, sensing that something was about to happen.


    Boom!


    The heavens and the Earth suddenly thundered loudly.


    A glowing Golden Core slowly emerged from within Yang Xiaotian.


    The moment the Golden Core appeared, the space vibrated, mountains shook, the earth cracked, and an overwhelmingly powerful force descended upon the world.


    The Golden Core¡¯s radiance bathed everyone on the scene in a golden hue.


    Xi Long, Chen Jing, Bai Li, Shen Yuwen¡ªeveryone was stunned.


    In that instant, within the Imperial Capital, terrifying supreme beings opened their eyes, all showing faces of astonishment. Even Yan Long of the Yan Family, about to enter seclusion, was shocked beyond measure. Ignoring themotion, he soared into the sky, hovering above the Imperial Capital.


    Within the Imperial Capital, various fearsome beings also took to the skies, like Yan Sen, standing aloft, all equally astonished as they looked towards the direction of the Azure God Academy.<div>


    ¡°A Divine Elixir!¡±


    ¡°A Divine Elixir has appeared!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    ¡°It¡¯s been a million years, a Divine Elixir has emerged! The world is about to change! Which disciple of the Azure God Academy has condensed a Divine Elixir!¡±


    Each of the terrifying beings roared with excitement.<div>


    Within the Imperial Capital, masters from the Supreme Sects and powerful families watched legendary ancestors emerge from seclusion, and before they could even be astonished, they suddenly heard that a Divine Elixir had been born, and they were so scared that they fell over.


    ¡°What, a Divine Elixir has appeared!¡±


    ¡°Hurry to the Azure God Academy and find out what exactly is happening!¡±


    ¡°No matter the cost, bring that person to me! Whatever they want, I will give it to them! If they want my daughter, I will have my daughter marry him!¡±


    ¡°If he wants my wife, I¡ª!¡± the head of the household roared repeatedly, too agitated to speak coherently.


    Within the Azure God Academy, Xi Long and Chen Jing were shocked at first but then trembled with excitement.


    ¡°A Divine Elixir! It truly is a Divine Elixir!¡± Xi Long and Chen Jing were shocked as they gazed at the Divine Elixir before them, understanding more than anyone the significance behind it.


    As Xi Long and Chen Jing, among others, were still reeling, suddenly, another Golden Core flew out.


    With this Golden Core¡¯s emergence, the heavens and the Earth trembled more violently, and the mountains shook even more fiercely.


    It was as if everyone stood atop tremendous waves.


    ¡°Two, two Divine Elixirs!¡± The ancestor of the Azure God Academy was shocked.


    Many disciples sat down on the ground.


    Even Tian Wanqing and Lin Mei¡¯er were astonished.<div>


    Xi Long and Chen Jing stared nkly at the two Divine Elixirs shining like golden suns.


    As for Yan Long, he had already been scared half to death.


    Bai Li too was covering her small mouth tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.


    Shen Yuwen, seeing the two rising Divine Elixirs, thought back to the time he had wanted Yang Xiaotian to move out of the Divine Residence.


    Fan Wuyan was dumbstruck.


    This, this is possible?


    Twelve Invincible Sword Hearts, plus two Divine Elixirs!


    How would anyone fight against that?


    How is one supposed to live like that?


    How are other geniuses supposed to carry on living?


    In his heart, there was only deep despair and helplessness.


    Among the shocked crowd, people couldn¡¯t help but look at Lin Mei¡¯er, Yao Qingxue, and Tang Huan again, and at this moment, they truly understood why the three of them didn¡¯t even dare to make a move.


    This was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s true talent.<div>


    Terrifyingly so!


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Fan Wuyan and said, ¡°Make your move.¡±


    But Fan Wuyan simply ¡°pu¡± spat out blood.


    It was unclear whether it was due to the injuries he had received earlier or despair to the point of vomiting blood.


    Xi Long, looking at the blood-spitting, dull-eyed Fan Wuyan, sighed inwardly.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian won thepetition.


    Next came the fifth, sixth, seventh rounds.


    All disciples simply admitted defeat upon entering the arena, and Yan Long didn¡¯t even dare to step onto the stage and directly conceded.


    Yang Xiaotian won first ce in this Azure God Academy freshmanpetition.


    As thepetition at the Azure God Academy ended, the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s consolidation of twelve Sword Hearts and possession of two Divine Elixirs spread throughout the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    The Myriad Gods Imperial City was as if a super nuclear bomb had been dropped, shaking incessantly.


    In the Yan Family¡¯s great hall, Yan Sen, upon learning that Yang Xiaotian had not one but two Divine Elixirs, was dumbstruck for a long while before he excitedly stood up, ¡°Quick, let Yan Long prepare a generous gift, use all means to win this boy over!¡±


    The Elder of the Yan Family hesitated, ¡°Ancestor, I¡¯ve heard that Yan Long has some conflicts with Yang Xiaotian.¡±<div>


    ¡°What!¡± Upon hearing this, Yan Sen exploded in anger, ¡°Tell Yan Long to roll back here! Now, immediately!¡±


    The zing sun was finally setting.


    Night fell.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the mountain of gift boxes piled up in the hall before him and couldn¡¯t help but feel helpless.


    These were gifts from the disciples of the Azure God Academy, and they represented their families¡¯ greetings to him.


    Not only the disciples of the Azure God Academy, but many Elders, Supreme Elders, and even Ancestors of the academy had visited him today and left behind many treasures.


    Those Supreme Elders and Ancestors were as affectionate as his own grandfather.


    Apart from those Ancestors, Xi Long and Chen Jing came too, arriving together.


    The two did not leave behind any treasures; they simply asked Yang Xiaotian to concentrate on his cultivation, stating that he could make any requests to them.


    Yang Xiaotian was toozy to open each of the gift boxes, so he simply collected all the treasures into his Space Ring and then left the academy to go to the Divine Residence.


    ¡°When a son of nobility produces a Divine Elixir, the whole world is in awe,¡± the Demon Apemented with a sigh and a smile upon seeing Yang Xiaotian.


    Of course, they had alsoe to know the results of today¡¯spetition.


    At that moment, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor stepped forward and said, ¡°Young master, there is news about other Divine mes.¡±

 Chapter 400: Hundreds of Millions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls

    Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Hundreds of Millions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian heard there was news of other Divine mes, he was instantly invigorated.


    ¡°We found out that Princess Myriad Gods has seen the Ziwei Divine Fire,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor hurriedly said.


    Ziwei Divine Fire!


    The seventh-ranked Divine me.


    The Ziwei Divine Fire consists of seven great celestial fires: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Jade Bnce, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang.


    ¡°Princess Wan Ning of the Myriad Gods?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Yes, it is Princess Wan Ning of the Myriad Gods,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor replied.


    Princess Wan Ning of the Myriad Gods is indeed one of the Four Beauties.


    Knowing that Princess Wan Ning of the Myriad Gods had seen the Ziwei Divine Fire, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart was greatly moved.


    Though the Ziwei Divine Fire was not among the top three Divine mes, it was still ranked seventh, and its power was much stronger than that of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    If he could subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire, then he would have three major Divine mes, and when all three were unleashed together, they should have some restraining effect on the Undying Death Qi.


    Moreover, with three major Divine mes, he would be able to refine second tribtion celestial-grade elixirs.


    Second tribtion celestial-grade elixirs definitely had much better effects than first tribtion celestial-grade elixirs.


    If he could refine a second tribtion celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, he might achieve the Martial Emperor within two years!


    If he could also use the Life God Fruit, perhaps he would only need one year to break through to the Martial Emperor.


    By then, bing a Martial Emperor at fifteen would absolutely shake the world.


    However, how could he get Princess Wan Ning to tell him the whereabouts of the Ziwei Divine Fire?


    If he were to directly visit Princess Wan Ning, the Myriad Gods Imperial n, in their eagerness to win him over, would likely divulge the whereabouts of the Divine me, but then he would owe Princess Wan Ning and the Myriad Gods Imperial n a huge favor.


    Such a favor, once owed, is difficult to repay!


    Seeing the difficulty Yang Xiaotian faced, Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said, ¡°Master, we have information that Princess Wan Ning is urgently acquiring a batch of celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills.¡±


    Celestial-grade elixirs, almost only the Medicine God can refine them.


    But even the Medicine God can¡¯t guarantee sess every time; even after refining a hundred times, there might not be one sess.


    Thus, even for the Myriad Gods Imperial n, acquiring a batch of celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills is not an easy task.


    ¡°Oh, she is acquiring celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Yes, Princess Wan Ning is urgently purchasing twenty celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor exined: ¡°Master can trade twenty celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills for the information on the Ziwei Divine Fire.¡±


    Even one celestial-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was incredibly valuable, let alone a celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.


    The value of twenty celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills would definitely be worth the information about the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    ¡°Do you know where Princess Wan Ning¡¯s residence is?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Princess Wan Ning¡¯s residence is on a nearby street,¡± Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said: ¡°If Master wishes to go, I can take you there now.¡±


    ¡°Good!¡± Yang Xiaotian immediately left the Divine Residence with Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    At that moment, Princess Wan Ning was frowning in her residence, asking her subordinates, ¡°Haven¡¯t you acquired twenty celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills yet?¡±


    Her subordinate gave a bitter smile: ¡°I go to the East Emperor Commerce Association and other major associations every day to inquire, but they all say they don¡¯t have them.¡± He added, ¡°The East Emperor Commerce Association auctioned off a batch of celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills several decades ago, a total of ten, but since then, there have been no more celestial-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills.¡±


    Princess Wan Ning¡¯s brows furrowed: ¡°If the Myriad Gods Empire can¡¯t find them, then let¡¯s inquire in the Great Brahma Empire and the Buddha Pagoda Empire.¡±


    Just then, the steward of her mansion came running in excitedly, ¡°Your Highness Princess, there is someone outside who has twenty Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills to sell to the Princess!¡±


    ¡°Really!¡± Princess Wan Ning¡¯s face lit up with surprise as she abruptly stood up.


    ¡°It¡¯s true. He showed them to me, and they are indeed Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills, and there are twenty of them!¡± the steward said happily.


    ¡°Please invite him in immediately.¡± Princess Wan Ning said joyfully, and then she added, ¡°Or better yet, I¡¯ll go myself.¡± She then went out with her subordinates from the mansion.


    Arriving at the mansion¡¯s main gate, she saw two figures standing outside, one wearing a dragon head mask and the other a ghost head mask.


    Princess Wan Ning was taken aback, but then realized, considering the exchange involved twenty Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills, it was normal for the other party to not wish to reveal their identity.


    ¡°May I know how to address you?¡± Princess Wan Ning came out and asked Yang Xiaotian, ¡°My subordinate told me that you wish to sell Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills?¡±


    ¡°Just call me Lord Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°That¡¯s correct, I have twenty Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills.¡± As he spoke, he took out arge jade bottle, opened it, and immediately, the scent of elixirs filled the air, with numerous lights surging, among which lightning flickered.


    Princess Wan Ning took a nce, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked, ¡°I wonder how Lord Long ns to sell them? I will give you the price that the East Emperor Commerce Association auctioned off years ago, how does that sound to you?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I do notck spirit stones.¡± Then he added, ¡°I hear you have seen the Ziwei Divine Fire?¡±


    Princess Wan Ning was surprised; the other party hade for the Ziwei Divine Fire?


    She pondered and then asked, ¡°Do you intend to exchange twenty Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills for the whereabouts of the Ziwei Divine Fire?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied.


    Princess Wan Ning sent her subordinates away and did not speak, but her gaze stayed on the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    Understanding her concern, Yang Xiaotian tossed the jade bottle to her.


    After Princess Wan Ning inspected them and confirmed they were genuine, she finally said, ¡°Years ago, I saw the Ziwei Divine Fire in the Sea of Stars.¡±


    ¡°The Sea of Stars?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    The Sea of Stars was south of the Myriad Gods Empire, filled with numerous ster treasures. However, the Sea of Stars was subject to perennial tides, and entry was only possible during ebb tide.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s in the Sea of Stars,¡± Princess Wan Ning said, ¡°On a certain ind deep within the Sea of Stars.¡± She then described the approximate location of the ind.


    Yang Xiaotian took note of this and then left with the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, Princess Wan Ning¡¯s eyes were filled with astonishment and suspicion. Despite the dragon head mask, she could vaguely discern that he was not old.


    How could he possess so many Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills?


    Even she could not obtain so many Heavenly Grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills.


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    ¡°Have my subordinates check when the Sea of Stars will recede,¡± Yang Xiaotian said on his way back.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor respectfully agreed.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian did not return to the Divine Mansion but went back to the Azure God Academy.


    After all, he had won first ce in the new disciple trials and was to enter the Dragon Blood Pond for cultivation tomorrow.


    The next morning, an elder came to take Yang Xiaotian into the Dragon Blood Pond for cultivation.


    The Dragon Blood Pond was vast, with a radius of a mile.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged inside the Dragon Blood Pond and began to circte the Primordial Dragon Art.


    Suddenly, the surging Dragon Essence within the Dragon Blood Pond started converging towards Yang Xiaotian.


    At this time, inside the great hall of the Azure God Academy, the atmosphere was tense. The Sword God Xi Long, Chen Jing, and a group of ancient ancestors all had solemn expressions because they had just received news that countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls had appeared near Death Sword Tomb.


    ¡°Could it be the Undefeated Underworld God?¡± Chen Jing asked with a heavy voice.

 Chapter 401: 401: Nether Sect

    Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Nether Sect


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Li Bi shook his head, ¡°Years ago, the Lord of Azure God decapitated the Undefeated Underworld God and sealed his head and body in different locations.¡±


    ¡°The Undefeated Underworld God cannot possibly be revived.¡±


    Another Elder also spoke up, ¡°I also feel it¡¯s impossible for the Undefeated Underworld God.¡±


    ¡°But, if it isn¡¯t the Undefeated Underworld God, then who could it be?¡±


    A group of Elders discussed.


    It was at this moment that the Sword God Xi Long said, ¡°Actually, the seal on the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head has already been broken by someone.¡±


    ¡°What!¡± As soon as Sword God Xi Long spoke, Chen Jing and Li Bi, among others, all had their expressions change dramatically.


    The seal on the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head had been broken!


    Could it be that the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head was¡­?


    Sword God Xi Long took a deep sigh and said, ¡°To not conceal anything from you all, the seal on the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head was actually broken by someone over a thousand years ago.¡±<div>


    ¡°And the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head has long since disappeared without a trace!¡±


    The words of Sword God Xi Long chilled everyone¡¯s hearts.


    The Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head has actually gone missing?


    This was nothing short of earth-shattering news.


    If this matter were to spread, it would definitely cause a great upheaval in the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°The seal on the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head had always been guarded by experts from the Azure God Mansion, but over a thousand years ago, a group of people in grey cloaks and masked faces appeared. They were all extremely powerful and injured several Elders who were guarding the seal before destroying it and taking the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head,¡± said Xi Long with a heavy tone.


    Chen Jing and Li Bi looked at each other, their faces showing mutual shock.


    Panic spread throughout the great hall.


    Just recently, the appearance of the Undying Death God had already caused a great shock to the world, and now even the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head was missing.


    If the Undefeated Underworld God were to revive, then chaos would be inevitable in the Azure God Continent.


    The Azure God Mansion might handle one Undying Death God, but if the Undefeated Underworld God were to join in as well, I¡¯m afraid even the Azure God Mansion would not be able to suppress it.


    If the Undying Death God and the Undefeated Underworld God were to join forces, it is estimated that even our Lord Azure Bear would not be their match.


    ¡°This matter is of grave importance, so I ask that you please do not leak any information,¡± Xi Long warned as he surveyed the crowd.


    The hearts of all present went cold, and they respectfully agreed.


    ¡°Sir, is it known who took the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head back then?¡± Chen Jing couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°It is likely to be someone from the Nether Sect,¡± Xi Long said gravely.


    The Nether Sect!


    All were shocked.


    Back then, it was the Undefeated Underworld God who established the Nether Sect.<div>


    ¡°The Nether Sect still exists!¡± Li Bi eximed in shock, ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Nether Sect destroyed after the Undefeated Underworld God was killed by the Lord of Azure God?¡±


    Xi Long shook his head, ¡°In that battle back then, nearly all the experts of the Nether Sect perished, but there were still some who slipped through the, and the Son of Nether God escaped.¡±


    Upon mention of the Son of Nether God, everyone was startled.


    The Son of Nether God, the son of the Undefeated Underworld God, was a prodigy with stunning talent,parable to the Undefeated Underworld God himself. Even the Undefeated Underworld God had highly praised him. If the Son of Nether God were still alive, it¡¯s feared his power might now be no less than that of the Undefeated Underworld God in his prime.<div>


    ¡°It must be the Son of Nether God who took away the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s head,¡± Xi Long stated.


    Hearing that the Son of Nether God was still alive, everyone felt even more weighed down.


    If the Undefeated Underworld God were revived, in addition to the Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God, that would be absolutely terrifying.


    ¡°If the Son of Nether God rescued the head of the Nether God, it¡¯s feared he will also make a move to rescue the body of Nether God,¡± Li Bi said, her face fraught with worry.


    Xi Long nodded, ¡°We have also thought of that, but there¡¯s no need to worry. Nether God¡¯s body is sealed in the deepest part of the Azure God Mansion, guarded in turns by Lord Azure Bear and the Mansion Master. The Son Nether God won¡¯t possibly be able to rescue Nether God¡¯s body.¡±


    Hearing that Nether God¡¯s body was suppressed in the deepest part of the Azure God Mansion, and that it was under the alternating guard of Lord Azure Bear and the Mansion Master, everyone felt reassured.


    ¡°However, everyone must still be vignt and well-prepared. The Son Nether God has been alive all these years, secretly rebuilding the Nether Sect, and many experts from demon sects across the Azure God Continent may have already sided with the Nether Sect,¡± Xi Long said.


    The hearts of the people sank even further upon hearing that many forces from demon sects and evil masters had already joined the Nether Sect.


    ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s possible that some of the Supreme Sects and families in the Myriad Gods Empire might have spies from the Nether Sect,¡± Xi Long said, ¡°It¡¯s even possible that our Azure God Academy and the Azure God Mansion might have spies from the Nether Sect.¡±


    The assembly of experts immediately looked at each other with vignt eyes.


    ¡°But, my friends, I still have faith,¡± Xi Long said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for suspicion. I¡¯m referring to those disciples or elders and even the Supreme Elders. If anyone finds a Nether Sect spy, they should strike immediately without hesitation.¡±


    Everyone responded respectfully.


    Just as they were discussing the Undefeated Underworld God and matters of the Nether Sect, suddenly an Earth-Shaking Dragon Roar burst forth, the sound echoing throughout the entire Azure God Academy.<div>


    A vast dragon might from ancient times swept over Heaven and Earth.


    All were startled, then turned their eyes toward the direction of the Dragon Blood Pond.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Chen Jing eximed in astonishment. ¡°Ancient Dragon Soul!¡±


    In the sky above the Dragon Blood Pond, a massive dragon soul appeared.


    The dragon soul lifted its head, roaring through Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Who is at the Dragon Blood Pond?¡± Xi Long was also surprised and asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s Friend Yang,¡± Chen Jing said with a smile, ¡°He entered the Dragon Blood Pond early this morning for cultivation. Who would have thought that he¡¯d actually stir the Ancient Dragon Soul of the Dragon Blood Pond.¡±


    Xi Long looked relieved upon hearing this.


    Only a disciple of exceptional talent who entered the Dragon Blood Pond for cultivation could stir the Ancient Dragon Soul. If it was Yang Xiaotian, then it wasn¡¯t surprising.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    However, at that moment, another Earth-Shaking Dragon Roar resounded. Above the Dragon Blood Pond, another massive dragon soul appeared.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Two Ancient Dragon Souls? What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t there only one Ancient Dragon Soul in the Dragon Blood Pond? How can there be two?¡± A venerable elder eximed in shock.


    From ancient times to the present, all disciples who entered the Dragon Blood Pond for cultivation only ever stirred one Ancient Dragon Soul.<div>


    No one had ever seen two Ancient Dragon Souls before.


    But then, another Ancient Dragon Soul flew out.


    ¡°Three Ancient Dragon Souls!¡± Even Chen Jing was dumbstruck.


    Then a fourth Ancient Dragon Soul appeared, followed by a fifth, a sixth, a seventh¡­


    The Ancient Dragon Souls from the Dragon Blood Pond seemed endless.


    Not only the high-levels but even the disciples from all the peaks and halls of the Azure God Academy were stunned.


    Finally, the Ancient Dragon Souls above the Dragon Blood Pond stopped at ten.


    Xi Long, viewing the ten Ancient Dragon Souls, eximed, ¡°It seems the legend is true.¡±


    Legend?


    Everyone instinctively turned to look at Xi Long.


    But Xi Long did not exin what legend he referred to.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian, sitting cross-legged in the Dragon Blood Pond, felt his blood boiling. The Dragon Essence within him became increasingly thick and solidified. The Dragon Blood from the Blood Pond permeated into his flesh, coating his skin with ayer of golden light, shining brightly.


    After one day, the time for cultivation in the Dragon Blood Pond came to an end.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was brought out of the Dragon Blood Pond.


    Although he could only cultivate in the Dragon Blood Pond for one day, this day of cultivation brought unimaginable benefits to Yang Xiaotian.

 Chapter 402: 402: Searching for the Divine Shadow Sword

    Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Searching for the Divine Shadow Swordn/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Indeed, as Liao Zihong mentioned earlier, training for one day in the Dragon Blood Pond was equivalent to a month of arduous cultivation. After a day of training, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation had greatly improved.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vitality and blood had expanded by hundreds of miles.


    Although hundreds of miles of expansion was but a minor improvement for the current Yang Xiaotian, the fact that it happened in a single day was truly astonishing.


    When Yang Xiaotian first consumed the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, it took him two months to improve by five thousand miles, which averaged out to less than a hundred miles per day.


    The moment Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Dragon Blood Pond, he heard many disciples from the academy discussing the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls around the Death Sword Tomb.


    ¡°Billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls have appeared near the Death Sword Tomb; it might be the maniption of a master from the Nether Sect!¡±


    ¡°Nether Sect!¡±


    All the disciples showed a look of astonishment.


    Upon hearing the discussions, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened.


    Nether Sect?<div>


    He was certainly aware that the Nether Sect was founded by the Undefeated Underworld God.


    It really was a time of continuous troubles. The Undying Death God had been gravely injured, and just when he thought the Azure God Continent could enjoy a few years of peace, people from the Nether Sect had reappeared.


    The masters of the Nether Sect practiced the dark Cultivation Techniques of the Netherworld, manipting Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls with cruel methods, instilling fear in all the sects of the Azure God Continent.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian returned to his peak, Lord Xi Long and Chen Jing came looking for him.


    Both of them felt relieved when they saw Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Tomorrow, disciples from the Azure God Academy will go to the Death Sword Tomb for a trial,¡± Chen Jing said to Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Friend Yang, if you do not wish to go, you can cultivate peacefully in the academy.¡±


    He was worried that this trial would be fraught with danger and didn¡¯t want Yang Xiaotian toe to harm.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°Since everyone is going, I will join them.¡± He knew Chen Jing meant well, but he did not want to be treated as an exception.


    Xi Long, hearing this, nodded in approval and said with a smile, ¡°If you need any resources for cultivation, you can take them from the Azure God Academy¡¯s treasure vault. I have spoken to Chen Jing, and from now on, you will be allowed free ess to the treasure vault of the Azure God Academy.¡±


    Even esteemed elders of the Azure God Academy could not freely enter and leave its treasure vault¡ªonly Chen Jing had that privilege. Yet now, Xi Long had granted Yang Xiaotian the same ess.


    This clearly showed the importance the Azure God Academy and Xi Long ced on Yang Xiaotian, and the special treatment he received.


    ¡°Thank you, Lord Xi Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian expressed his gratitude with a fist salute.


    Xi Longughed and said, ¡°If you need any cultivation resources that are not in the Azure God Academy¡¯s treasure vault, you can also discuss it with me. I will check if the Divine Mansion treasure vault has them.¡±


    Chen Jing¡¯s mouth fell open in surprise.


    A new disciple of the Azure God Academy being given ess to the treasures of the Divine Mansion¡¯s vault was truly unprecedented.


    At these words, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s interest was piqued, and he asked, ¡°I wonder if the Divine Mansion¡¯s treasure vault contains any Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Divine Level Elixirs?¡±


    This time, it was Xi Long¡¯s turn to be agape in shock.


    A bitter smile crossed Xi Long¡¯s face as he said, ¡°Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water is exceedingly rare; even finding a single drop is difficult. Divine Level Elixirs are such that even the Mansion Master himself is hesitant to consume them for cultivation.¡±


    Embarrassed, Yang Xiaotian scratched his head and said, ¡°What about the remnants of Divine Medicines? I would like to have some remnants of Divine Medicines.¡±<div>


    He still needed two more Life God Fruits and required arge amount of Divine Medicine remnants.


    ¡°Divine Medicine remnants?¡± Xi Long asked, puzzled, not understanding why Yang Xiaotian would want them.


    ¡°Old Man Li Nian seems to have quite a lot of Divine Medicine remnants. If you need them, I¡¯ll have someone send them to you when the timees,¡± Xi Long offered.


    The Li Nian he referred to was none other than the Medicine God Li Nian, one of the Four Gods of the Divine Mansion.<div>


    ¡°Thank you, Lord Xi Long,¡± Yang Xiaotian quickly replied, expressing his thanks.


    Xi Long smiled and said, ¡°From now on, you don¡¯t need to call me ¡®Lord.¡¯ Just call me ¡®Brother Xi Long.''¡±


    Chen Jing broke into a sweat. If Yang Xiaotian was to call Xi Long ¡®Brother,¡¯ what was he supposed to call Yang Xiaotian?


    Grandpa Yang?


    Or Senior Yang?


    ¡°I have matters to attend to at Azure God Mansion, so I will be returning soon,¡± Xi Long told Yang Xiaotian with solemnity. ¡°Always remember to take good care of yourself no matter when or where you are.¡±


    ¡°Only by protecting yourself, can you protect your family in the future and guard the Azure God Continent.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded gravely in agreement.


    Finally, Xi Long transformed into a sword light, breaking the sky as he left.


    ¡°Xiaotian, it seems I still have some Divine Medicine residue left. I¡¯ll have someone send it over to you soon,¡± Chen Jing told Yang Xiaotian after Xi Long was gone.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face lit up with joy, and he thanked Chen Jing.


    Chen Jing waved his hand andughed, ¡°There¡¯s no need for us to stand on ceremony with each other from now on.¡± He then left without disturbing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cultivation, vanishing into the sky.


    True to his word, it wasn¡¯t long before Chen Jing had his disciple, Zhou Ming, deliver a pile of Divine Medicine residue.<div>


    And there was a lot, nearly as much as Yang Xiaotian had before.


    Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed and quickly fed it all to the Life God Tree.


    After seeing Zhou Ming off the mountain, Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and then flew towards the Sword Pavilion.


    The trial was tomorrow, and he wanted to take this opportunity to find the Divine Shadow Sword in the Sword Pavilion, hoping to subdue it.


    The Divine Shadow Sword, being the third-ranked Divine Sword, if he could subdue it and cultivate with the Divine Shadow Swordbined with his fourteen Invincible Sword Hearts, his mastery of the Sword Dao would undoubtedly be even stronger.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian felt that if he could find more Divine Swords, he might be able to cultivate a fifteenth Sword Heart.


    Although it was known that the Lord of Azure God cultivated fourteen Sword Hearts, no Divine Tome had ever recorded that the limit for a martial artist was fourteen Sword Hearts.


    As Yang Xiaotian was flying to the Sword Pavilion, inside a mountain allocated to core disciples of the Azure God Academy, two figures d in ck were in a covert conversation.


    ¡°Corpse Demon Lord has said that if Yang Xiaotian goes to the trial tomorrow, we must kill him!¡± the taller figure in ck said coldly.


    ¡°Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others will also be there. Killing Yang Xiaotian won¡¯t be easy,¡± frowned the figure in ck, somewhat shorter in stature.


    ¡°If we can¡¯t kill Yang Xiaotian on the way, then we¡¯ll make our move in the Death Sword Tomb. We¡¯ll find a way to draw Yang Xiaotian into the midst of the myriad Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls. By then, he will perish at their hands.¡±


    ¡°Once Yang Xiaotian falls into the clutches of the myriad Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others, no matter how much they want to save him, won¡¯t be able to.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±<div>


    As the two figures in ck concluded their secret discussion, unbeknownst to them, Yang Xiaotian had already reached the Sword Pavilion.


    The Sword Pavilion was guarded by an old ancestor, but upon seeing it was Yang Xiaotian, he allowed him to pass without question.


    Entering the Sword Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian saw swords everywhere, reminiscent of Sword Origin in Martial Emperor City he remembered from before.


    Once inside the Sword Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian activated the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, advancing into the Sword Sea while sensing for the Divine Shadow Sword.


    Attracted by the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fourteen Sword Hearts, countless Flying Swords flew towards him as he passed, swirling around him like a myriad of vibrant butterflies.


    However, after scouring every corner of the Sword Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian still did not find the Divine Shadow Sword.


    ¡°Could it be that the Divine Shadow Sword isn¡¯t in the Sword Pavilion?¡± Yang Xiaotian wondered.


    He had researched a lot these past days and concluded that the Divine Shadow Sword should be in the Sword Pavilion, yet invisible and imperceptible, but now it seemed it was not there.


    If it had been in the Sword Pavilion, the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts would have surely lured the Divine Shadow Sword out by now.

 Chapter 403: 403: Divine Yang with 3000 Emperors

    Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Divine Yang with 3000 Emperors


    Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Sword Pavilion and saw that dusk had fallen; he could only wait to continue his search after returning from the trial.


    As long as the Divine Shadow Sword was in Azure God Academy, he would find it sooner orter.


    With the trial on the morrow, Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Residence once more to inform the Demon Ape and others that he would be away for a few days and to instruct everyone to train diligently, staying prepared to face the Undying Wraiths and Yin Ghosts at any moment.


    Learning that countless Yin Souls had appeared near the Death Sword Tomb, the expressions on the faces of the Demon Ape and hispanions grew grave.


    ¡°Young Master, let me apany you tomorrow,¡± the Demon Ape said to Yang Xiaotian.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian would be confronting countless Yin Ghosts and Souls in this trial, a perilous endeavor.


    Old Bing, Old Meng, Old Mo, and Man Fang also expressed their desire to apany Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll be joining the disciples of Azure God Academy for this trial; it wouldn¡¯t be convenient for you toe along. Moreover, Dean Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others will be there. With them around, there shouldn¡¯t be any danger.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian said to Man Fang, ¡°When the Dwarf n arrives, have them forge more divine weapons and armor and concoct more elixirs, especially healing ones, in abundance.¡±


    If the Azure God Continent were to descend into chaos, both divine weapons and elixirs would be scarce; thus, they needed to prepare an ample supply of both.<div>


    Although the Azure Bear and Azure God Mansion provided stability, preventing the continent from slipping into chaos, no one could guarantee peace, so he had to prepare for the worst.


    ¡°Rest assured, Young Master,¡± Man Fang said respectfully, aware of the severity of the situation.


    ¡°Old Ape, during these days, try to negotiate with the surrounding mansions and see if they can be purchased as well,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°Price is not an issue.¡±


    In the future, he intended to consolidate all his forces in the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    The Divine Residence, despite its size, was still not enough.


    The Demon Ape understood Yang Xiaotian¡¯s intention and nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Young Master. When you return from your trial, I will have bought the entire Myriad Gods Imperial City!¡±


    He thumped his chest resoundingly.


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    What did he want with the entire imperial city? He had no desire to sit on the throne of the Myriad Gods Empire.


    Then, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor reported to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master, we¡¯ve found out when the Sea of Stars will recede. It will be in three months¡¯ time.¡±


    He hesitated before adding, ¡°It¡¯s just strange that many masters from the Demon Sect have also been inquiring about the day the Sea of Stars will recede.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    Many masters from the Demon Sect were also inquiring about the day of the Sea of Stars¡¯ recession?


    Could it be that the masters from the Demon Sect also wanted to enter the Sea of Stars in search of something?


    ¡°Find out why the masters from the Demon Sect want to enter the Sea of Stars,¡± Yang Xiaotian mused.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor respectfully acknowledged the order.


    When Yang Xiaotian left the mansion, it was already deep into the night.


    Yet, the streets of the Imperial Capital were filled with patrolling soldiers.


    Clearly, the emergence of countless Yin Souls and Ghosts near the Death Sword Tomb had put even the Myriad Gods Empire on alert.<div>


    If the Myriad Gods Empire was this tense, one could only imagine the state of the other empires.


    First there was the emergence of the Undying Death God, now the Nether Sect was causing trouble; Yang Xiaotian felt like a storm was brewing.


    The Azure God Continent was headed for chaos!


    Thinking of his current strength, Yang Xiaotian felt helpless.<div>


    If the Azure God Continent were thrown into turmoil, his power was still far from enough to cope with the troubled times.


    He still needed to increase his strength frically.


    Returning to Azure God Academy, Yang Xiaotian pondered for a while, went to the Medicine Hall to buy arge quantity of medicinal materials, and then concocted a batch of high-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills.


    After all these efforts, Yang Xiaotian finally consumed the Sixth Layer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Life Essence Fluid to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.


    With only a little of the Nine Layers Tribtion Thunder Water left, he dared not use it anymore.


    He was reserving the remaining Tribtion Thunder Water for life-saving purposes.


    He cultivated throughout the night.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The sun was just rising.


    Yang Xiaotian flew towards the gathering square.


    By this time, the square had already amassed a great number of academy disciples.


    This trial wasn¡¯t just for the new disciples, all the disciples of the academy were to go.


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang has arrived!¡±<div>


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was flying towards the square, a disciple suddenly shouted out.


    All eyes turned towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Princess Jiuhu Bai Li, Princess Myriad Gods Wan Ning, Zeng Qianqian, and Donghuang Xiu, all four beauties, looked over at Yang Xiaotian.


    Bai Li had met Yang Xiaotian before, but Wan Ning, Zeng Qianqian, and Donghuang Xiu had not yet met him.


    Since the new disciples¡¯petition, the name of Emperor Sanqian Divine Yang had soared high like the sun at noon, and his fame hadpletely overshadowed the four beauties and even the Four Swords.


    In the past few days, almost everywhere, people were talking about Yang Xiaotian, even the servants in their mansions were discussing him, and Wan Ning, Zeng Qianqian, Donghuang Xiu had heard so much they could feel calluses forming on their ears.


    Yang Xiaotian was portrayed as something supernatural, with tales of how he fought Emperor Sanqian single-handedly, how he pushed against thirteen continents with both palms, how he was the world¡¯s number one swordsman, and there were even rumors of him being the most handsome man.


    Under the gaze of Wan Ning, Zeng Qianqian, and Donghuang Xiu, Yang Xiaotian, wearing a blue robe handcrafted by his mother, walked on air towards them, his body draped with the newly risen sunlight, his feet stepping on Earth me, looking like a divine being descending from the heavens.


    Elegant in this troubled world, yet dominating over all.


    The sight quickened the heartbeat of many female students in the academy.


    Even Wan Ning, Zeng Qianqian, and Donghuang Xiu had their beautiful eyes gleam with fascination.


    Lin Mei¡¯er¡¯s heart was beating uncontrobly.


    ¡°Earth me!¡±<div>


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian stepping on Earth me, many disciples eximed in astonishment.


    Wan Ning, Zeng Qianqian, and Donghuang Xiu evidently had not expected Yang Xiaotian to have tamed Earth me, the world¡¯s number one Abnormal Fire.


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian has even subdued the Earth me! Worthy of the title Emperor Sanqian! I wonder what his alchemy level is like?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that the Buddha Son Tang Huan is the number one alchemist of the Buddha Source Empire, I wonder how Emperor Sanqianpares with him.¡±


    Many disciples present whispered amongst themselves.


    Buddha Son Tang Huan twitched at the discussions, his face contorting.


    He sighed to the sky.


    Having Yang, why have Tang!


    Among the disciples, Xie Buhui of the Four Swords watched Yang Xiaotian, who was the center of everyone¡¯s attention, with a cold glint in his eye.


    Xiao Han of the Four Swords, also looked at Yang Xiaotian and frowned slightly.


    Right now, Yang Xiaotian was admired by the disciples of the Azure God Academy, but not all the disciples admired and liked Yang Xiaotian.


    For instance, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han felt displeased at the sight of Yang Xiaotian.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the scene, and the Earth me automatically retracted.<div>


    Seeing Yang Xiaotianing, Lin Mei¡¯er with a somewhat reddened pretty face approached him, ¡°Young Master Yang, you¡¯ve arrived.¡±


    ¡°Miss Lin,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled at Lin Mei¡¯er.


    Just as Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden Yao Qingxue was about to approach, Princess Jiuhu Bai Li came to Yang Xiaotian, bowed slightly, and said, ¡°Young Master Yang, I was abrupt thest time, I apologize to you, and I hope Young Master Yang won¡¯t hold it against me.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head with a smile, ¡°Miss Bai is being too formal, it was but a trifle.¡±


    Subsequently, Yao Qingxue and Tian Wanqing also came over to greet Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian surrounded by Lin Mei¡¯er, Bai Li, Yao Qingxue, and Tian Wanqing, the four great beauties, all the male disciples envied him, and it was no pretense.


    However, Princess Myriad Gods Wan Ning looked at Yang Xiaotian with suspicion, feeling as though she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn¡¯t remember at that moment.

 Chapter 404: 404: Finally Seeing Hundreds of Millions of Yin Ghosts

    Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Finally Seeing Hundreds of Millions of Yin Ghosts


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian had arrived, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and a group of senior officials also made their appearance.


    Chen Jing surveyed the crowd and said, ¡°Now that everyone is here, let us set off!¡±


    With those words, he leapt up andnded on the Azure God Academy¡¯s airship.


    Everyone rose to their feet and flew onto the airship.


    Seeing that everyone was aboard, Chen Jing ordered the airship to be driven, and it broke through the sky and departed.


    On the airship, Princess Wan Ning approached Yang Xiaotian and initiated a conversation, ¡°I am Wan Ning, greetings to Young Master Yang.¡± Then she asked, ¡°Young Master Yang, have we met before?¡±


    After speaking, she gazed at Yang Xiaotian with intense scrutiny.


    The surrounding disciples saw the usually proud Princess Wan Ning striking up a conversation with Yang Xiaotian in such a manner and couldn¡¯t help but howl like wolves.


    Suddenly, Princess Wan Ning scanned the disciples around her.


    Instantly, the howling ceased.<div>


    ¡°It¡¯s Princess Wan Ning,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, fist-palming towards Wan Ning, ¡°Perhaps Princess Wan Ning mistook me for someone else.¡±


    ¡°Mistook you?¡± Princess Wan Ning looked at Yang Xiaotian skeptically, shaking her head, ¡°No, we must have met somewhere before.¡±


    Donghuang Xiu could only watch her good sister silently, noting her usual pride and her current infatuation.


    She stepped forward and said with a smile to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Divine Residence to be purchased by Young Master Yang. Wan Ning and I have never seen what Divine Residence looks like, and I was wondering if Young Master Yang would allow us to visit someday?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, ¡°If the two beauties wish to visit Divine Residence, you are wee anytime.¡±


    Following that, Bai Li also approached, expressing her wish to visit as well.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian was once again surrounded by several beauties, chattering around him like a flock of sparrows, attracting frequent nces from the other disciples.


    Meanwhile, Zeng Qianqian stood quietly in the distance, serene as a flower.


    However, asionally, she too nced at Yang Xiaotian with curiosity in her eyes.


    What secrets could Yang Xiaotian possibly have, for him to be able to condense twelve Sword Hearts and have two Divine Elixirs?


    Additionally, he had even tamed the world¡¯s number one Abnormal Fire.


    And as well, he had purchased the coveted Divine Residence.


    One must understand that although her father was the leader of the Zeng Family, even she would find it challenging to acquire the Divine Residence.


    She always felt that Yang Xiaotian was shrouded in secrets.


    Xie Buhui and Xiao Han, envious and burning with jealousy, watched Yang Xiaotian surrounded by Bai Li, Wan Ning, and Donghuang Xiu.


    Unable to contain his jealousy, Xie Buhui was about to step forward when suddenly, Zhou Ming, a disciple of Chen Jing, approached Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Xiaotian, my master is looking for you; he has something to say to you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a great relief and quickly extricated himself from Bai Li, Wan Ning, and Donghuang Xiu, leaving with Zhou Ming.


    Zeng Qianqian saw Yang Xiaotian leave with a sweat-drenched appearance and chuckled lightly, blooming like a myriad of flowers.


    Chen Jing calling Yang Xiaotian over wasn¡¯t for any pressing matter; it was just to caution him to be careful during the uing trial and then to give him a piece of armor, saying, ¡°This armor has been painstakingly crafted by me; wear it.¡±<div>


    Gazing at the armor, Zhou Ming, a disciple of Chen Jing, was filled with envy.


    This piece of armor was his master¡¯s most prized creation.


    Usually, even as his disciple, he wasn¡¯t even allowed to touch it.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the armor before him and felt a warmth in his heart. He said to Chen Jing with a smile, ¡°Thank you, headmaster. However, I already have a better set of armor.¡±<div>


    ¡°You have a better armor?¡± Chen Jing was astonished.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded; the armor he had obtained from the Abyssal Master was far superior to this Divine Level armor of Chen Jing¡¯s.


    Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian exined, ¡°I have a subordinate who is the n Leader of the Dwarf n, and he crafted an armor for me.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t exactly disclose that his armor was obtained from the Abyssal Master.


    Even so, Chen Jing still looked astonished.


    One must know, the Dwarf n is notorious for its bad temper, and it¡¯s difficult for other races¡¯ experts to get close to them. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotian had managed to bring them under his control.


    Since the Dwarf n Leader had pledged allegiance to Yang Xiaotian, it meant that the entire Dwarf n was now under Yang Xiaotian¡¯smand.


    How many Divine Weapons and armors would Yang Xiaotian want in the future?


    Chen Jing smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°It seems that even if I wanted to, I wouldn¡¯t be able to give away this armor anymore.¡± Then he leaned in closer to Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Xiaotian, I have a sword that I want to reforge, but my skills aren¡¯t sufficient. What do you think?¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°If the dean needs it, after returning from the trial, I¡¯ll have Man Fang take a look for you.¡±


    After all, the other party had given him such a huge pile of Divine Medicine remnants.


    Besides, it was just a small matter.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Jing happily responded, ¡°Good, then I¡¯lle to your residence after the trial.¡±<div>


    The journey was uneventful.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The space on the flying ship was vast.


    There were many courtyards and separate rooms.


    Yang Xiaotian, receiving special care, was assigned a veryrge courtyard.


    The Life God Tree, after devouring the pile of Divine Medicine remnants given by Chen Jing, bore the Life God Fruits on time, and they were just ripe enough to be matured.


    Yang Xiaotian was delighted, he consumed the Life God Fruit and began cultivating within the courtyard.


    As the flying ship approached the Death Sword Tomb, he finallypletely assimted the Life God Fruit.


    His vitality surged once more.


    And his cultivation level also broke through to the thirdyer of the Venerable Realm as expected.


    ¡°Still one short,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.


    With just one more Life God Fruit, his vitality would reach twenty thousand li.


    Then, he would be able to muster his strength and open up all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints at once, and then attract the Heavenly Nectar.


    ¡°We are approaching the Death Sword Tomb soon, everyone prepare yourselves!¡± Li Bi¡¯s voice suddenly spread to every corner of the flying ship, and at once, all the disciples emerged from their secret chambers and courtyards.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow looking ahead, only to see ck waves rolling in the sky ahead, covering the sun and sky.


    Where they were aboard the flying ship, the sun was still shining bright, but at the edge of the sky, no light could be seen at all.


    A chilling, hair-raising, and strange wailing noise surged from all around.


    The mere sound was enough to cool one¡¯s soul.


    Amidst the rolling ck waves, indistinct figures were floating.


    ¡°It¡¯s the multitudes of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!¡± Seeing the rolling ck waves sweeping towards them, the faces of the many disciples from the academy changed.


    Even Bai Li, Zeng Qianqian, and Princess Wan Ning, these core disciples, tightly gripped the swords in their hands and their palms sweated with nervousness as they looked at the millions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls rolling toward them like a ck tide.


    Everyone¡¯s heart was in their throat.


    Yang Xiaotian was also intently watching the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls rolling towards them, this was simply more than the Undying Wraith Army they faced before, and the gathered ghostly energy was too terrifying, like a vast ocean.


    If their academy¡¯s people were to charge directly into it, they would probably be instantly devoured.


    Yang Xiaotian immediately summoned the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me.


    Suddenly, the flying ship zed as fiercely as the sun.


    All could not help but take notice.<div>


    ¡°The Nine Phoenixes Golden me!¡±


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian had also tamed one of the top ten Abnormal Fires, the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, everyone was shocked.

 Chapter 405: 405: Lord Azure Bear Arrives

    Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Lord Azure Bear Arrives


    The Demon Sword, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han, looking at the Earth me and Nine Phoenixes Golden me on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, had their expressions sink even further.


    Bai Li and several others had their beautiful eyes shining with surprise.


    Zeng Qianqian also wore a look of astonishment on her face.


    Then, the Buddha Son Tang Huan also summoned the Space me and the Great Sea me.


    Seeing Tang Huan¡¯s Space me and Great Sea me, everyone else also turned their heads to look.


    The other disciples possessing Abnormal Fires hastened to summon their fires as well.


    The collective power of the mes from the various Abnormal Fires came together, like a volcano exploding, with waves of fire rolling and swallowing Heaven and Earth.


    The disciples summoned their weapons one after another, and nearly all of them used swords; a minority used sabers, spears, hammers.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then also summoned the Burying Heaven Sword and the Demon-ying Sword.


    ¡°Burying Heaven Sword! Demon-ying Sword!¡±<div>


    Seeing the Burying Heaven Sword and Demon-ying Sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, everyone was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Oh my god,¡± many disciples eximed inwardly, their hearts filled with disbelief.


    It was one thing for Yang Xiaotian to have subdued the Earth me and Nine Phoenixes Golden me, but now he had also obtained the first-ranked Burying Heaven Sword and the second-ranked Demon-ying Sword of the Heavenly Swords!


    Not to mention he possessed twelve Sword Hearts and two Divine Elixirs!


    How were other geniuses supposed topete with that?


    Wan Ning, Yao Qingxue, Bai Li, and all the other women were just as shocked.


    Originally, the Demon-ying Sword was in the hands of Chi Yuan, the Great Elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect, but after Yang Xiaotian eradicated the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Demon-ying Sword fell into his hands.


    In fact, not only the Demon-ying Sword but also the Dark Sword, which had been in Lan Yi¡¯s possession before Yang Xiaotian annihted the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, was now in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Chen Jing, looking at the Dual Swords in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, was also filled with admiration. He smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Xiaotian, you wouldn¡¯t have also subdued our academy¡¯s Divine Shadow Sword, would you?¡±


    He knew that Yang Xiaotian had entered the Sword Pavilion yesterday.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze was intently fixed on Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, ¡°I went into the Sword Pavilion yesterday, but I didn¡¯t find the Divine Shadow Sword.¡±


    Xie Buhui, Xiao Han, and all the other talented disciples breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.


    If he hadn¡¯t found it, then that was good.


    But how could they know that while Yang Xiaotian had not found the third-ranked Divine Shadow Sword, he had already subdued five Divine Swords: the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, the Sword of Azure God, the Ancient Thunder God Sword, the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, and the Eternal Night Divine Sword, with the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword being the second-ranked among them!


    At this moment, the ck tide formed by the billions of Yin Ghosts that had been far away in the sky was rapidly approaching the Azure God Academy¡¯s airship, engulfing everything in its path, and the mournful screams of the billions of Yin Souls were terrifying to all.


    Watching the relentless approach of the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, Chen Jing shouted, ¡°Prepare for battle, everyone! Remember, no one is to leave the airship during the fight.¡±


    After all, there were far too many Yin Souls.


    Once outside of the airship, without the protections of its wards, one would undoubtedly die.<div>


    Plus, it¡¯s easier to escape within the airship if necessary.


    ¡°This battle¡¯s performance will be recorded in the academy¡¯s scoreboard and will be used as one of the references for future promotion to the Azure God Mansion. Everyone, give it your all!¡± Chen Jing called out loudly once more.


    Hearing this battle¡¯s performance could be used as a reference for promotion to the Azure God Mansion, all the disciples were greatly encouraged.


    Boom!<div>


    A huge saber suddenly descended from the sky, whipping up massive waves of Saber Qi, like a tornado swirling into the midst of the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls and instantly, countless of them were ughtered.


    Everyone was shocked and looked over to see a troop of soldiers tearing through the sky, approaching rapidly.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army!¡±


    Indeed, it was the army of the Azure God Mansion.


    With the emergence of the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, the Azure God Mansion had certainly sent their army to suppress them.


    The Azure God Academy was here to assist the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army.


    The main force was still the army of the Azure God Mansion.


    Leading the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army was a middle-aged man of great stature, standing three meters tall.


    There was a scar on his forehead.


    Seeing the middle-aged man, the upper echelons of the Azure God Academy were delighted: ¡°Lord Saber God Zhao Feng!¡±


    Saber God Zhao Feng was indeed one of the Four Gods of the Azure God Mansion, on par with the Sword God Xi Long.


    Seeing that it was Saber God Zhao Feng himself leading the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army, the high echelons of the Azure God Academy felt greatly relieved.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The cold voice of Saber God Zhao Feng sounded, turning into rolling Sword Qi, plowing into the midst of countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.<div>


    At the same time, the increasing strength of the Saber Qi swirling around the great saber he wielded was like a super tornado, continuously spiraling amidst the tide of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    With every spiral, it inevitably ughtered arge swath of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    The Azure God Mansion¡¯s army also struck out at once, and the Sword Qi surged like mountains, mming into the tide of Yin Ghosts, smashing countless of them to smithereens.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Chen Jing saw this and also roared, not bothering to greet Saber God, driving the flying ship towards the onught of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    Before even approaching the wave of Yin Ghosts, Yang Xiaotian swung the Burying Heaven Sword and the Demon-ying Sword in his hand, and suddenly, tens of thousands of Sword Qi burst forth.


    ¡°Tomb of Burying Heaven!¡±


    ¡°Light of Demon-ying!¡±


    The Burying Heaven Sword Qi and Demon-ying Sword Qi carved two massive rifts through the tide of Yin Ghosts wherever they passed.


    This one strike had in hundreds of Yin Ghosts.


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s realm as a Martial Venerable, to be able to kill hundreds of Yin Ghosts in one strike was a sign of terrifyingbat strength.


    The other disciples of the academy also made their moves in session.


    Immediately, the cries of battle shook the heavens.


    Countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls wailed ceaselessly.<div>


    However, there were simply too many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, and Chen Jing did not dare to drive the flying ship too close.


    They killed only at the edges.


    As soon as the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls drew close, he drove the flying ship to retreat.


    Meanwhile, the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army formed a battle formation, fighting their way in and out three times, ughtering Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls and sending them flying.


    The formidablebat power of the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army made the disciples of the Azure God Academy¡¯s blood boil with excitement.


    However, there were simply too many billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls that no matter how many were killed, there didn¡¯t seem to be an end, and they couldn¡¯t be exterminated.


    Countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls continuously surged out from the Death Sword Tomb, and the more they were killed, the more they seemed to multiply.


    The sky gradually darkened.


    Seeing the endless hordes of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, Yang Xiaotian frowned; at this rate, even if they continued to kill for a month, they might not finish off all these Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    Unless they could resolve the Nether Sect masters controlling the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    At this time, surrounding empires also sentrge armies to help encircle and ughter the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, but there was still no sign of their numbers decreasing.


    ¡°Headmaster, if this continues, we will exhaust all our True Yuan, and sooner orter, we will die at the hands of these Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!¡± An ancestor spoke irritably, ¡°We might as well charge directly into the Death Sword Tomb and kill the Nether Sect masters controlling the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!¡±


    Chen Jing shook his head and said, ¡°Into the Death Sword Tomb, no one cane out alive, no matter who enters!¡±<div>


    Night fell, growing ever darker.


    Blood stained the earth red.


    As darkness enveloped thend, Yang Xiaotian noticed that the strength of the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls had grown considerably; where previously a dual strike could kill hundreds of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, now it could only deal with a hundred.


    In the midst of everyone fighting bloodily, suddenly a heaven-shaking roar resounded, the waves of the roar itself killing who knows how many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    What was originally a dense and endless army of Yin Ghosts suddenly seemed significantly reduced.


    Everyone looked on in shock as a colossal bear paw tore through the void, mming down with force.


    Boom!


    The earth trembled.


    The Yin Ghost army was directly shattered, millions dead.


    The terrifying shockwave swept across, and where it passed, all Yin Ghosts turned to ashes.


    In front of everyone appeared a colossal Azure Bear that seemed to prop up the heavens and stand on the earth.


    ¡°Lord Azure Bear!¡±


    ¡°Lord Azure Bear hase!¡±


    The people, locked in prolonged battle, finally saw the appearance of Lord Azure Bear.

 Chapter 406: 406 Trouble for the Azure Bear

    Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Trouble for the Azure Bear


    Since ancient times, the Azure Bear has suppressed one era after another in the Azure God Continent.


    As long as the Azure Bear is present, there won¡¯t be great chaos in the Azure God Continent.


    As long as the Azure Bear is there, no demons, ghosts, or monsters can cause trouble.


    The Azure Bear is the stabilizing pin of the Azure God Continent.


    Seeing the Azure Bear appear and feeling its vast, boundless Divine Power, the disciples of the Azure God Academy were excited and exhrated.


    The surrounding Empire Army knelt down in excitement.


    The Army of the Azure God Mansion, upon seeing the Azure Bear, was equally excited.


    Even divine experts like Chen Jing and Li Bi felt reverence, admiration, and were extremely moved.


    The Azure Bear¡¯s eyes were cold and sharp as its bear paw, akin to that of the Ancient Divine Mountain, struck down once again.


    Boom!<div>


    The earth trembled violently.


    All one could see was countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls turning into dust and continuously floating up into the air.


    Under this strike.


    Nearly all the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls were shaken to death.


    Before, no matter how the people fought, they were unable to see the entrance to the Death Sword Tomb, because there were simply too many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, burying the entrance under countlessyers.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    But now, with the strike from the Azure Bear, the countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls were shaken to death, and the entrance to the Death Sword Tomb finally appeared before everyone.


    The Azure Bear snorted coldly, striking once more with its paw, directly shaking the remaining Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls to death.


    The onlookers from the Azure God Academy were left speechless by the sight.


    What incredible power this was, two palm strikes had killed the vast army of millions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    The horror of those Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls was something that everyone understood deeply, they were extremely difficult to kill, the people could not wipe them out entirely, but now, in the blink of an eye, they were annihtedpletely.


    ¡°Lord Azure Bear is invincible!¡±


    After the shock passed, the armies of the various empires cheered and raised their arms, some of them were even moved to tears.


    After extinguishing all the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls outside the Death Sword Tomb, the Azure Bear did not stop and continued to advance into the Death Sword Tomb, killing all the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls in its path.


    It didn¡¯t even strike with its paw, a single tremble of its Divine Power flung countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls into the air for who knows how many miles.


    Inside the Death Sword Tomb, one could intermittently hear the world-destroying power of the Azure Bear.


    Seeing the towering figure of the Azure Bear charging into the Death Sword Tomb, the disciples of the Azure God Academy were overwhelmed with emotion, so much so that they struggled to regain theirposure for a long time.


    ¡°Lord Azure Bear has entered the Death Sword Tomb, he will surely ughter the mastermind controlling the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!¡± Chen Jing said, watching the disappearing figure of the Azure Bear, excited and happy.


    ¡°With Lord Azure Bear here, those masters of the Nether Sect are doomed!¡± Li Bi said with a smile.


    Bai Li, Zeng Qianqian, and everyone else began to feel hopeful.<div>


    Only Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but worry in his heart.


    Because he was well aware of the terror of that entity in the Death Sword Tomb.


    Moreover, he always felt that the emergence of this massive army of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls was not so simple.


    It seemed as if the appearance of the Death Sword Tomb was specifically to lure the Azure Bear here.<div>


    If the other party dared to do so, they must already have the means to deal with the Azure Bear.


    Afterward, Chen Jing led the people of the Azure God Academy to meet Saber God Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and a smile appeared on the always serious and stoic face: ¡°Are you Yang Xiaotian? Xi Long had nothing but praise for you after he returned.¡±


    ¡°Junior Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯vee to see Lord Zhao Feng,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with sped hands and respectfully.


    At this moment, one of Zhao Feng¡¯s young disciples stepped forward, his eyes brimming with a fighting spirit as he stared at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I want to battle you!¡±


    Zhao Feng, however, directly grabbed him and tossed him aside, saying, ¡°You brat, daring to challenge someone in the Emperor Realm to a battle.¡±


    He then smiled at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°This is my disciple, he is naturallybative.¡± He then said, ¡°Kid, are you interested in learning the way of the saber? If you are, you cane see me anytime.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian enviously.


    Zhao Feng was one of the most powerful figures in the way of the saber on the Azure God Continent. To receive guidance from Zhao Feng in saber techniques was an extraordinary honor.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Okay, thank you, Lord Zhao Feng,¡± Xiaotian replied with a smile, without refusing.


    Zhao Feng said to Chen Jing and the others, ¡°Let¡¯s find a ce nearby to set up camp and rest while we wait for Lord Azure Bear to return.¡±


    Chen Jing nodded in agreement.<div>


    So, the Azure God Mansion army and the people from Azure God Academy set up camp at the foot of a distant mountain, waiting for the return of Azure Bear.


    The night grew deep and quiet.


    The earth was silent.


    At first, the destructive force of Azure Bear could still be intermittently heard emanating from within the Death Sword Tomb.


    But as time passed, even Azure Bear¡¯s destructive power gradually disappeared.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others from Azure God Academy each sat in meditation to cultivate and rest.


    Yet Xiaotian¡¯s heart grew more uneasy.


    Atst, he decided to venture into the Death Sword Tomb to find out what was really happening.


    Azure Bear was the stabilizing force of the Azure God Continent; it couldn¡¯te to harm, for if anything happened to Azure Bear, the Azure God Continent would be plunged into turmoil and bloodshed.


    Therefore, Xiaotian had Master Ding conceal his aura, and without anyone noticing, he flew away from the campsite.


    Arriving at the entrance of the Death Sword Tomb, he didn¡¯t hesitate and entered the tomb swiftly.


    Xiaotian was well-acquainted with the Death Sword Tomb.


    As soon as Xiaotian entered, he summoned the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire. Surrounded by these two great Divine mes, he flew quickly forward.<div>


    He noticed that the greenish gas shrouding the sky above the Death Sword Tomb was denser than before, rolling and billowing, pressing down on the tomb¡¯s surface, making it hard for anyone to catch their breath.


    Moreover, the chill wind within the Death Sword Tomb was stronger and fiercer than before, whipping up like a howling storm, making Xiaotian¡¯s robes flutter incessantly.


    Xiaotian bolstered his True Yuan all around his body.


    Even so, he still felt as though he might be blown away.


    As he continued to advance, the greenish gas above the tomb became thicker and thicker.


    Even though Xiaotian was prepared, he still experienced hallucinations just as he hadst time, only stronger.


    Thankfully, Master Ding was there to wake him up.


    Xiaotian continued to fly forward at high speed.


    On the ground, there were giant paw prints left by Azure Bear.


    Many tombs had been shattered to dust.


    It was a scene of utter chaos.


    As Xiaotian delved deeper, he finally sensed the presence of Azure Bear.


    However, Azure Bear¡¯s aura was noticeably scattered.<div>


    Besides Azure Bear¡¯s presence, there were dozens of other auras, each one terrifyingly powerful, with two almost as strong as Azure Bear¡¯s.


    Azure Bear was injured!


    Sensing Azure Bear¡¯s disordered aura, Xiaotian¡¯s heart sank and he quickened his pace even more.


    At that moment, in the deepest reaches of the Death Sword Tomb, dozens of people were frantically attacking Azure Bear.


    Among the leaders, one was none other than the Undying Death God.


    The other, d in the robes of the Nether God from Hell, was just as formidable in presence as the Undying Death God¡ªno other than Yan Ping, the Son Nether God.


    And Azure Bear¡¯s towering, majestic body had been struck in several ces.


    Wherever he had been hit, a miserable green Yin Qi and Undying Death Qi were emitted.


    Yan Ping, looking at the struggling Azure Bear, sneered, ¡°Old bear, you¡¯ve been hit by my Nether Yin Qi and the Undying Death God¡¯s Undying Death Qi. You won¡¯tst much longer!¡±


    ¡°Today, you¡¯re surely going to die!¡±


    The Undying Death God chuckled, ¡°After killing you, I¡¯ll refine you into my Undying Wraith. Then, I will use you to ughter countless beings on the Azure God Continent!¡±


    ¡°The very continent you sought to protect will be subject to ughter by your own hands. Think about that feeling, that sensation, exquisite! Absolutely exquisite!¡±

 Chapter 407: 407: Undying Death God, We Meet Again

    Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Undying Death God, We Meet Again


    The Undying Death God cackled wildly, hisughterced with pride and a bloodthirsty excitement.


    He was thrilled at the thought that after the Azure Bear¡¯s death, it would help him ughter countless beings on the Azure God Continent.


    This was more exhrating than killing the Azure Bear itself.


    The Azure Bear let out a heaven-reaching roar, its ws swiping fiercely toward the Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God.


    The rampant divine power surged like the rivers of the Nine Heavens, rushing toward the Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God.


    Upon seeing this, both the Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God struck back with their palms.


    The overwhelming power of Nether God transformed into billions of Yin Ghosts, and the Undying Death Qi materialized into billions of Undying Wraiths, shing violently with the Azure Bear¡¯s explosive divine power.


    Boom.


    An earth-shaking st.


    The apocalyptic force flung away countless ancient and archaic tombs in the vicinity.<div>


    Even the swords buried within those tombs were shattered into innumerable fragments by the power of the trio.


    These swords were all famous from ancient and prehistoric times, able to slice iron as if it were mud, their power astonishing, but now, they were all shattered under the influence of their power.


    The Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God were forced back over a hundred meters.


    However, the Azure Bear also had a tough time, its paws tingling from the shock, retreating again and again, and it withdrew a full hundred meters straight back.


    Following that blow, although the Azure Bear had a slight upper hand, that was all it was¡ªjust a slight advantage.


    The Son of Nether God, Yan Ping¡¯s expression darkened.


    The strength of the Azure Bear far exceeded his expectations.


    Even after taking his Nether God Palm and the Undying Palm Print, it was still so strong.


    Fortuitously, he had been prepared. Inside the Death Sword Tomb, the ghostly energies caused confusion, the longer the Azure Bear stayed, the stronger the erosion by the ghostly energies. Eventually, it would see illusions, and that would be the time of the Azure Bear¡¯s demise.


    Just as the Azure Bear had repelled the Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God with a palm strike, suddenly, a terrifying palm force broke through the air, aiming for the Azure Bear¡¯s back.


    The Azure Bear had no time for second thoughts and met the attack with its own palm.


    A loud ng echoed.


    The middle-aged man who hadunched the sneak attack, no other than the Corpse Demon, was repelled by the Azure Bear, retreating repeatedly.


    ¡°Corpse Demon, if you continue to be an aplice, I will obliterate your Corpse Demon Sectpletely!¡± the Azure Bear bellowed.


    The middle-aged man who had ambushed him was indeed the Corpse Demon.


    A hundred and fifty thousand years ago, the Azure God Continent saw the emergence of three supremely talented and powerful beings.


    One was the Lord of All Gods, one was the Undying Evil Venerable, and the other was this very Corpse Demon in front of them.


    Even though the Azure God Continent had produced many astonishingly powerful beings a hundred thousand years ago, the Corpse Demon, the Undying Evil Venerable, and the Lord of All Gods stood out as the most sensational of them all.


    Given that the Corpse Demon was named alongside the Undying Evil Venerable and the Lord of All Gods, one could imagine the strength he possessed.<div>


    A hundred thousand years ago, after the Lord of All Gods disappeared, the Corpse Demon also vanished.


    In the ten thousand years that followed, the Corpse Demon did not reappear.


    Everyone thought the Corpse Demon was dead, but now, not only was he alive, but he had also joined forces with the Son of Nether God and the Undying Death God to besiege the Azure Bear.


    At the Corpse Demon¡¯s words, he let out a cold sneer, ¡°Azure Bear, do you think you still have a chance to escape from the Death Sword Tomb?¡±<div>


    ¡°Once I kill you and devour your flesh and blood, I will surely be able to cultivate my Corpse Demon Divine Technique to the pinnacle of perfection.¡±


    Dozens of other experts also made their moves, bombarding the Azure Bear into constant retreat.


    These dozens of experts, although not as strong as the Corpse Demon, were also the supreme ancestors of the Nether Sect and exceptional demons, each with unfathomable strength.


    And it is precisely for this reason that the Azure Bear has been unable to break free.


    Otherwise, just with the Son of Nether God, the Undying Death God, and the Corpse Demon, the three of them would not be able to contain him at all.


    Under the siege of dozens of Son Nether God, Azure Bear inhaled more and more soul-eroding gas, and even though his Divine Soul was extremely strong, he gradually began to falter.


    Moreover, he had been struck by the palm force of Son Nether God and the Undying Death God and suffered continuous erosion from the Nether Qi and Undying Death Qi. The more he used his Divine Power, the more severe his injuries became.


    Son Nether God noticed Azure Bear¡¯s fatigue and shouted, ¡°Everyone, put more effort into it, and kill Azure Bear at full speed!¡±


    Corpse Demons and the others immediately exerted their Divine Power to its fullest, attacking Azure Bear even more crazily.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    They also knew that as long as they killed Azure Bear with all their might, the overall situation would be settled; otherwise, the longer the night, the more dreams might ur. If the Army of the Azure God Mansion outside were to notice anything amiss, it would cause a lot of trouble.


    Under the concerted siege of Son Nether God, Undying Death God, and others, Azure Bear was again struck in the back by the Undying Death God, causing him to spit out arge mouthful of blood.


    Azure Bear was infuriated.


    But he was also helpless.<div>


    Half a year ago, the Undying Death God was severely wounded by a mysterious person, yet now his injuries had not only healed, but he had also be even stronger.


    In these days, the Undying Death God must have obtained some heavenly treasures that helped him recover his injuries; otherwise, it was impossible for his wounds to heal so quickly.


    Azure Bear¡¯s guess was correct; the Undying Death God had found an item simr to the Life God Fruit in the Eternal Burial Ground, and it was precisely because of this that his injuries had healed so rapidly.


    Seeing that Azure Bear had taken another palm strike to his back, the Undying Death Godughed triumphantly, ¡°Old Bear, you should stop your futile struggle. Don¡¯t even think about Zeng Yongjiang and Xi Longing to save you. Let me tell you, Zeng Yongjiang and Xi Long are unable to save themselves right now.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Azure Bear¡¯splexion changed.


    Son Nether God and Undying Death God had lured him here not just to kill him, but also to destroy the Azure God Mansion!


    The Azure God was also facing a siege by the Nether Sect, Corpse Demon Sect, and various Supreme Sects!


    Moreover, they nned to rescue the body of the Undefeated Nether God!


    If the corpse of the Undefeated Nether God were to be rescued, and the Undefeated Nether God revived, then the Azure God Continent would truly be doomed.


    Azure Bear felt a sense of despair.


    Could it really be that he was to die here today?


    ¡°Old Bear, your arrogance was your downfall; otherwise, you would not have to die,¡± Son Nether God Yan Ping chuckled sinisterly.


    If Azure Bear wasn¡¯t so arrogant and had not ventured into the Death Sword Tomb, they indeed wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill Azure Bear on the outside.<div>


    Just as the Undying Death God and Son Nether God Yan Ping were about to strike another deadly blow to Azure Bear, suddenly, there was the sound of breaking through the air from the distance.


    Seeing someoneing, everyone was surprised.


    After all, the Death Sword Tomb was enveloped with hallucinatory soul-eroding gas, reaching this ce was no easy matter.


    The crowd looked over.


    They saw the neer was a young man in his mid-teens wearing a blue brocade robe.


    Seeing the neer was a young man, everyone was astounded.


    When the Undying Death God saw who it was, his whole body seemed to have been sted by the Nine Heaven Divine Thunder, and his face changed drastically, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±


    The devastating blow from within the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was something he could never forget.


    That face of Yang Xiaotian and the terrifying Medicine Cauldron had be his nightmare these days.


    Since escaping from the Eternal Heavenly Tombst time, he would sometimes look around nervously when he went out, worried about encountering that young man.


    Hearing the Undying Death God¡¯s rmed shout and seeing his drastic change in expression, everyone was taken aback.


    It seemed the Undying Death God was afraid of this young man?


    The ancient and formidable Undying Death God was actually afraid of a young man?<div>


    Son Nether God Yan Ping was also bewildered, not understanding why the Undying Death God would be so frightened upon seeing this young man.


    For a moment, everyone stopped their attacks.


    Azure Bear got a chance to catch his breath.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the dozens of people besieging Azure Bear, furrowed his brows, and with his gaze falling on the Undying Death God, he shed a toothy smile, ¡°Undying Death God, I didn¡¯t expect us to meet again so soon.¡±

 Chapter 408: 408 How Fortunate My Azure God Continent Is

    Chapter 408: Chapter 408 How Fortunate My Azure God Continent Is


    The Undying Death God, upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ¡°friendly¡± greeting, couldn¡¯t help but twitch in the face.


    Drawing a deep breath, he forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and bellowed with ferocity behind a feigned courage, ¡°Kid, your timing is perfect, I was just nning toe find you!¡±


    ¡°Now that you are here, today the Death Sword Tomb shall be your burial ground!¡±


    With that said, he expanded his Undying Death Qi around his body,yer uponyer, forming an Undying Barrier.


    Son of Nether God, Yan Ping, noticed the Undying Death God unleashing his Undying Death Qi to the fullest, even forming the Undying Barrier, and couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    Who was this young man?


    He had even caused the Undying Death God to panic to the extent of using the Undying Barrier.


    One should know, they had just been fighting against the Azure Bear, and the Undying Death God hadn¡¯t resorted to using the Undying Barrier at all.


    But now, at the sight of the young man, he deployed the Undying Barrier straight away.


    ¡°Is that so.¡± Yang Xiaotian replied calmly, walking towards the Undying Death God and the others.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t conceal his aura either, revealing his Martial Venerable realm for all to see, yet the Undying Death God kept swallowing his saliva, not daring to make a move.


    Seeing that the Undying Death God did not attack, the Son of Nether God, Yan Ping, Corpse Demon, and the others were full of surprised doubt, no one daring to take the lead.


    Suddenly, a surge of light erupted from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body as he cried out, ¡°Master Ding!¡±


    The shout reverberated across the sky.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian shouting for Master Ding, the Undying Death God¡¯s face changed wildly, and he instantly turned into a stream of deathly qi, tearing through the void and even bursting through countless tombs, escaping without a trace.


    In the blink of an eye, the Undying Death God vanished from everyone¡¯s sight.


    Leaving behind nothing but trails of Undying Death Qi.


    Everyone stood there, dumbstruck.


    What was happening?


    The Undying Death God had actually fled!


    This young man had simply called out for Master Ding, and the Undying Death God had been so frightened that he ran away!


    Everyone found it hard to believe.


    Even the Azure Bear was dumbfounded.


    It didn¡¯t understand what was going on.


    Even when the Undying Death God faced him alone, he hadn¡¯t been scared enough to flee.


    Was this young man¡¯s Master Ding even more terrifying than he was?


    Who was Master Ding?


    It seemed that there was no such person in the Azure God Continent.


    Seeing the Undying Death God fleeing, the Son of Nether God, Yan Ping, Corpse Demon, and others were even more bewildered, their eyes fixed intently on Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian, relieved by the Undying Death God¡¯s escape, knew his remaining Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was scarce, with only seven mouthfuls left.


    Yang Xiaotian continued to approach the Son of Nether God, Yan Ping, Corpse Demon, and the others, ¡°Gentlemen, you must be curious why the Undying Death God has fled!¡± With that, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body surged with a ck radiance, as an overwhelming force of darkness roared out.


    To the astonished eyes of the crowd, a gigantic ck Dragon flew out from within Yang Xiaotian.


    When the ck Dragon appeared, a terrifying dragon might swept over heaven and earth.<div>


    Around the body of the ck Dragon, a gold and red Soul Ring they had never seen before materialized.


    Within the gold and red Soul Ring, a nearly boundless shadow of darkness flickered in and out of visibility.


    When the shadow of darkness fixated on the crowd, thoseke-sized, blood-red eyes struck terror into Yan Ping, Corpse Demon, and even the Azure Bear.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Son of Nether God, Yan Ping, uttered in horror, ¡°Abyssal Master! It¡¯s the Abyssal Master Soul Ring!¡±


    The Corpse Demon and the others were trembling.


    This young man¡¯s Soul Ring was actually the Abyssal Master Soul Ring!


    ¡°You killed the Abyssal Master!¡± The Azure Bear was also shocked.


    Before, it had suspected that the Abyssal Master had been killed.


    The Abyssal Master had actually died at the hands of the young man before them.


    That was the Abyssal Master, a Soul Beast of nearly two million years.


    The Azure Bear might be invincible, and the Undying Death God might be invincible, but all the gods on the Azure God Continent know, the truly invincible one is that entity from the abyss!


    And now, that entity from the abyss has actually died at the hands of this youth!


    ¡°Master Ding!¡± Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian let out a heavenward howl.<div>


    In an instant, a surging, boundless golden light burst forth from within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Everyone saw an immensely dazzling and huge Golden Cauldron fly out.


    This Golden Cauldron wasrger than the Abyssal Master, andrger than the Azure Bear.


    Burning with limitless golden mes, the Golden Cauldron charged towards the Son of Nether God.


    Sensing the terrifying power of the Golden Cauldron, the Son of Nether God was horrified, his Nether God Power frantically bolstering him as the Nether God de in his hands furiously shed out.


    ¡°Burst open for me!¡± he bellowed.


    ng!


    The Nether God de¡¯s annihting force mmed against the Golden Cauldron.


    Light sttered everywhere.


    But it was useless.


    The Golden Cauldron¡¯s speed didn¡¯t decrease; it struck the Son of Nether God in an instant.


    Boom!


    The ground where the Son of Nether God had stood was sted into a terrifying giant pit, and as he was sent flying, everything in his path¡ªforests, graveyards, mountains¡ªwas utterly destroyed.<div>


    It was as if Death Sword Tomb had exploded, with dust filling the sky.


    The Son of Nether God finally crashed down at the edge of Sword Tomb.


    He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then a second and a third.


    He looked at the Golden Cauldron in horror.


    He now understood why the Undying Death God, upon hearing the two words ¡°Master Ding,¡± had fled in a panic.


    Master Ding, it turns out, was truly a damn cauldron!


    The Corpse Demon and the other great masters watching the Golden Cauldron burning with golden mes in the sky were so frightened that they were paralyzed.


    ¡°Go!¡± roared the Son of Nether God, transforming into a beam ofher light, breaking through the air and fleeing.


    The Corpse Demon and the other great masters dared not linger, their Divine Power crazily unleashed, each choosing their own path to escape.


    Two even collided with each other, but after falling, they got up and fled again.


    In an instant, the Son of Nether God, the Corpse Demon, and dozens of unparalleled overlords fled without a trace.


    Seeing the Son of Nether God and the others in frantic escape, Yang Xiaotian did not give chase, instead, he approached the Azure Bear, ¡°Senior Azure Bear, are you alright?¡±


    The Azure Bear, hearing Yang Xiaotian addressing him as a senior, shivered and waved his hand, ¡°Young Master, just call me Azure Bear.¡±<div>


    Noticing Azure Bear¡¯s wounds, Yang Xiaotian took out a mouthful of sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for the other to swallow.


    Though his supply of nineyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was limited, he had plenty of sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water; after all, he had obtained a whole pool of it in the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.


    Azure Bear was surprised to see Yang Xiaotian take out a mouthful of sixyer Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for him, but without demur, he swallowed it. Instantly, his body flickered with lightning, and his wounds gradually healed.


    ¡°Many thanks, Young Master, and Master Ding for your rescue,¡± Azure Bear said, bowing to Yang Xiaotian and the Golden Cauldron. At this point, he had transformed back into his human form.


    ¡°You¡¯re too polite, Senior Azure Bear. Now that you¡¯re well, I¡¯ll be taking off,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, bowing his hands. After speaking, he left, breaking through the air.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian about to leave, Azure Bear hastily asked, ¡°May I know if I will have the chance to see the young master again in the future?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian pondered, ¡°I will visit the Azure God Mansion in the future.¡±


    With his current rate of cultivation, he would break through to the Great Emperor Realm in less than two years, and at that time, he would surely rise to the Azure God Mansion.


    Therefore, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the two could meet again.


    Upon hearing this, Azure Bear eximed with joy, ¡°When the timees, Azure Bear will await the grand arrival of the Young Master and Master Ding.¡±


    Without lingering, Yang Xiaotian left quickly, soon vanishing into the horizon.


    As he watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure, Azure Bear was filled with excitement and satisfaction, saying, ¡°What a fortune for our Azure God Continent to have such a protector.¡± He then looked up to the sky and addressed the void, ¡°My lord, do you see this?¡±


    As if in response to Azure Bear¡¯s words, the Heart of Azure God within the Azure God Cave Mansion emitted bursts of light, one after another.

 Chapter 409: 409: Hurry Back to the Azure God Mansion

    Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Hurry Back to the Azure God Mansion


    The Heart of Azure God emitted bursts of light, and Azure Bear didn¡¯t know that after swallowing the sixyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water from Yang Xiaotian, his injuries were temporarily suppressed.


    Thinking about how Azure God Mansion was currently under attack by forces such as Nether Sect and Corpse Demon Sect, Azure Bear was both anxious and furious, rapidly flying away from the Death Sword Tomb.


    Just as Saber God Zhao Feng and the troops of Azure God Mansion were sitting in meditation to recuperate, suddenly, Azure Bear¡¯s anxious voice sounded, ¡°Troops of Azure God Mansion, hurry back to Azure God Mansion at once!¡±


    Azure Bear¡¯s voice shook Heaven and Earth.


    Saber God Zhao Feng was startled.


    Then, he saw Azure Bear burst out from the Death Sword Tomb, turning into a streak of light, and flying rapidly toward the Azure God Mansion.


    ¡°Troops of Azure God Mansion, heed mymand, hurry back to Azure God Mansion!¡± Saber God Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hesitate any longer, he roared and, taking the lead, soared into the sky to follow Azure Bear.


    The troops of Azure God Mansion also rose into the sky and closely followed.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others were already rmed.


    ¡°Could something have happened to Azure God Mansion?¡± Li Bi was full of rm and uncertainty.<div>


    Otherwise, why would Lord Azure Bear be so anxious to return to Azure God Mansion.


    ¡°Dean, should we also follow them?¡± asked a Supreme Elder to Chen Jing.


    Chen Jing thought for a moment, finally shook his head, and said, ¡°Lord Azure Bear¡¯smand was for the troops of Azure God Mansion to return.¡± Then he told Li Bi, ¡°Since things here are done, let¡¯s count the number of disciples, and we will head back to Azure God Academy first.¡±


    Soon, the headcount waspleted.


    ¡°What did you say, Xiaotian is missing?!¡± Upon receiving the response, Chen Jing¡¯s heart lurched, and he red at the Elder in charge of new disciples, ¡°Xiaotian was still herest night, how could he go missing?!¡±


    Li Bi and the rest of the old ancestors also had their expressions change dramatically.


    Now, Xiaotian was the treasured darling of the Azure God Academy. It would be very bad if anything untoward happened to him.


    Upon hearing that Xiaotian was missing, Lin Mei¡¯er, Yao Qingxue, and several other women all showed worried expressions.


    Upon hearing Xiaotian was missing, Xie Buhui, Xiao Han, and others felt a secret glee in their hearts.


    This ce was close to the Death Sword Tomb. Maybe there were still residual Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls. With Xiaotian missing, he might already have encountered an ident.


    Upon hearing that Xiaotian was missing, Buddha Son Tang Huan felt a sense of relief in his heart.


    At this moment, he too hoped that Xiaotian would never reappear.


    While Xie Buhui, Xiao Han, and others felt secretly pleased, suddenly, a figure came flying through the sky from a distance.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± A disciple eximed with surprise.


    Everyone looked, and wasn¡¯t it Yang Xiaotian.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Lin Mei¡¯er, Yao Qingxue, and several other women showed relieved smiles.


    The anxious Chen Jing and Li Bi saw Yang Xiaotian returning and finally let out a sigh of relief.


    Chen Jing and the others all went to greet him.


    ¡°I just went out to circle around and see if there were any remaining Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, making the Dean and everyone worry,¡± said Yang Xiaotian, hurrying with his words.<div>


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian return, Chen Jing refrained from ming him and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯ve returned safely.¡± Then he said to everyone, ¡°Since Xiaotian hase back, let¡¯s head back to the academy then.¡±


    After that, the people of Azure God Academy began to return to the academy by the same way they hade.


    On the flying ship, Chen Jing had all the disciples take out their identity tokens to start recording the number of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls they had killed this time.


    They started with the core disciples.<div>


    ¡°Jun Xiaoyao has killed a total of 112,300 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls,¡± Li Bi announced while checking everyone¡¯s identity tokens.


    Jun Xiaoyao was in fact one of the Four Swords, namely Sword Jun.


    He was also the Young Master of the Jun Family.


    He was also the foremost among the disciples of Azure God Academy.


    ¡°Xie Buhui killed a total of 105,024 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Han killed a total of 105,360 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.¡±


    Soon, the scores of the Four Swordsmen and Four Beauties were all tallied up.


    The eight of them had all killed over a hundred thousand Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    Next were the other Core Disciples and elder disciples.


    Lastly, it was the turn of the new disciples.


    There was still a gap in strength between the new disciples and the others, with most killing fewer than ten thousand Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    Only a few, such as Fan Wufang and Buddha Son Tang Huan, managed to kill more than twenty thousand.


    When it came to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s turn, Li Bi read out with an odd expression, ¡°Yang Xiaotian killed a total of 234,032 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.¡±<div>


    ¡°What?!¡± As soon as Li Bi spoke, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.


    Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were even more incredulous.


    They couldn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple, had actually killed over 230,000 Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.


    Since the flying ship was vast, with everyone stationed at different positions attacking, and there were too many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, nobody paid attention to how many each disciple killed, so even Chen Jing found Yang Xiaotian¡¯s kill count of over 230,000 to be surprising.


    It was known that Jun Xiaoyao, who was the leader among the disciples of Azure God Academy and at the peak of the Venerable Realm, had killed just over 110,000.


    ¡°I only killed a little over 100,000, Yang Xiaotian, as a new disciple, it¡¯s impossible for you to have killed over 230,000!¡± Xie Buhui immediately said.


    ¡°Indeed, even Jun Xiaoyao has killed just over 110,000. How could you kill over 230,000?¡± Xiao Han also added solemnly.


    Chen Jing interjected, ¡°For every Yin Ghost or Yin Soul killed, there is a record on the identity token; it can¡¯t be faked.¡±


    Xie Buhui, however, stared at Yang Xiaotian: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, unless you can defeat me, we won¡¯t believe it.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, ¡°Whether you believe it or not is none of my business.¡±


    Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were both stunned.


    Lin Mei¡¯er and Yao Qingxue blushed at his remark.


    Several bolder female disciples nced down at Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Princess Wan Ning and Bai Li couldn¡¯t help but giggle softly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Hearing Wan Ning and Bai Li¡¯sughter, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han looked sour.


    ¡°However, rest assured, there¡¯s the academy tournament at the end of the year, right? I¡¯ll participate in that,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Xie Buhui.


    Azure God Academy held an academy tournament at the end of every year.


    However, the tournament was for Core Disciples to participate in, and if other disciples felt their strength was sufficient, they could also sign up.


    The results of the tournament were also one of the important criteria for promotion to Azure God Mansion.


    Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t concerned about his performance in the tournament; mainly, he wanted to use the Four Swords to hone his own strength.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian say he would participate in the end-of-year academy tournament, Xie Buhui bared his teeth in a smile: ¡°Good, I look forward to facing Junior Brother Yang then and personally experiencing Junior Brother Yang¡¯s two Divine Grade Golden Cores and the twelve Sword Hearts!¡±


    In the crowd, Jun Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes shone upon hearing Yang Xiaotian would join the end-of-year academy tournament; he had long wanted to experience Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two Divine Grade Golden Cores and the twelve Sword Hearts for himself.


    However, as the leader among the disciples, it was awkward for him to ask for a duel with Yang Xiaotian, and since Yang Xiaotian was joining the tournament, it was the perfect opportunity.


    When Chen Jing heard that Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple, wanted to join the end-of-year academy tournament, he frowned. Although Yang Xiaotian possessed two Divine Grade Golden Cores and twelve Sword Hearts, his realm was indeed too low, and there was a gappared to those Core Disciples at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.


    In his view, no matter how strong Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat power was, it was unlikely he could match those Core Disciples.


    But since Yang Xiaotian wanted to participate, he couldn¡¯t very well dissuade him; after all, it was a personal choice.<div>

 Chapter 410: Hitting Acupuncture Points

    Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Hitting Acupuncture Points


    ¡°`


    On the return journey, Yang Xiaotian still remained inside the ship, cultivating in seclusion without ever leaving.


    However, on the way back to the Azure God Academy, astonishing news came from the Azure God Mansion: Nether Sect, Corpse Demon Sect, and numerous Demon Sects joined forces to besiege the Azure God Mansion.


    There were rivers of blood at the Azure God Mansion, and the sky darkened as if eclipsed.


    Fortunately, by the time Azure Bear and the troops of the Azure God Mansion rushed back, the body of the Undefeated Nether God had not been taken away.


    Despite that, the forces of the Azure God Mansion suffered heavy losses.


    Of course, those from the Demon Sects didn¡¯t get off easy either. Once Azure Bear returned, they were ughtered to the point of total disarray, fleeing inplete disarray.


    Upon returning to the Azure God Academy, Yang Xiaotian immediately began searching for the Divine Shadow Sword.


    He always felt that he could cultivate fifteen Invincible Sword Hearts.


    However, on the first day back, he searched all around Sword Pavilion¡¯s surrounding mountains and still didn¡¯t find any trace of the Divine Shadow Sword.


    Nevertheless, he wasn¡¯t discouraged and continued his search the next day.


    In the days that followed, he cultivated at night and searched for the Divine Shadow Sword during the day.


    He believed that as long as he searched the entire Azure God Academy, he would surely find the Divine Shadow Sword.


    It was just that the Academy was incredibly vast, asrge as an imperial nation; searching the entire ce wasn¡¯t something that could be aplished in a day or two.


    On the third day of his search for the Divine Shadow Sword, Sword God Xi Long sent his disciple Liu Zhiyuan to deliver a pile of Divine Medicine dregs.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s delight, the pile sent by Xi Long was thrice the amount of what he had before.


    Thrice!


    Enough for the Life God Tree to bear three Life God Fruits.


    Consequently, when Liu Zhiyuan returned, Yang Xiaotian was immensely grateful and gave him thirty drops of six-fold Tribtion Thunder Water.


    After Liu Zhiyuan left, Yang Xiaotian immediately fed all the Divine Medicine dregs to the Life God Tree for it to devour and absorb.


    Next was to simply wait for the three Life God Fruits to mature after three days.


    During this time, Chen Jing visited the Divine Residence to meet with the Dwarf n Leader Man Fang, asking him to help reforge his long sword, and Bai Li, Donghuang Xiu, and Wan Ning also toured his Divine Residence.


    Donghuang Xiu even teased Yang Xiaotian, saying she wanted to rent a pce within the Divine Residence and asked how much it would cost for a year.


    Seeing this, Princess Jiuhu Bai Li also expressed her desire to rent a pce.


    Since Yang Xiaotian had many secrets, it would naturally be inconvenient to have the two women move in, thus he tactfully declined their requests.


    That day, Yang Xiaotian continued to wander around the Azure God Academy, looking for the Divine Shadow Sword.


    It was when he arrived at a certainke that suddenly, the fourteen Sword Hearts within him began to tremble.


    Startled, then filled with excitement, Yang Xiaotian soared above theke, and as he hovered there, the trembling of the fourteen Sword Hearts grew even more intense.


    Without hesitation, he stared at the bottom of theke and broke through the surface to enter its depths.


    At thekebed, the fourteen Sword Hearts vibrated even more profoundly.


    Yet, as he scanned thekebed, he found nothing.


    Guided by the sensing of his fourteen Sword Hearts, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward slowly.


    Atst, he reached a corner of thekebed and with a gesture in the void, suddenly a sword materialized in front of him where there had been nothing before!


    A sword that was nearly transparent in the water.


    It was the Divine Shadow Sword!


    Yang Xiaotian grasped the hilt, and the sword body surged with light as fierce Sword Qi burst forth, threatening to blow Yang Xiaotian away. Yet, how could he let the Divine Shadow Sword escape again? He fully activated the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, enveloping the sword.


    A Sword Armor covered him.


    The st of Sword Qi hit it, sending sparks flying, but it could not break through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Sword Armor.


    Yang Xiaotian held fast to the Divine Shadow Sword, continuously suppressing it with the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts.


    Finally, under the oppression of the Sword Heart Power, the previously raging Divine Shadow Sword gradually settled down.


    n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    And in the end, it allowed Yang Xiaotian to hold it.


    ¡°`


    Yang Xiaotian immediately performed a blood refinement ritual, cutting his finger to refine the Divine Shadow Sword.


    Soon, he felt a blood connection with the Divine Shadow Sword.


    At that moment, the Divine Shadow Sword was finally subdued.


    Looking at the nearly transparent Divine Shadow Sword in his hand, Yang Xiaotian felt ted.


    It wasn¡¯t in vain that he had searched painstakingly for several days¡ªfinally having subdued the Divine Shadow Sword.


    Luckily, he possessed fourteen Sword Hearts; otherwise, finding this Divine Shadow Sword would truly have been challenging.


    Yang Xiaotian broke through the surface of theke, emerging from the bottom and under the sunlight, the Divine Shadow Sword in his hand became transparent¡ªYang Xiaotian was clearly holding the Divine Shadow Sword, but others could not see it.


    Only Yang Xiaotian could sense the existence of the Divine Shadow Sword.


    This Divine Shadow Sword, paired with his ck Dragon Martial Spirit¡¯s life-bound soul skill of Space Concealment, was simply perfect.


    Yang Xiaotian stored the Divine Shadow Sword and returned to the mountain peak to beginprehending the Divine Shadow Sword Path.


    A dayter, three Life God Fruits finally ripened.


    Yang Xiaotian stopped his Sword Dao cultivation and immediately consumed a Life God Fruit to begin impacting his acupoints.


    Time passed.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body surged with increasing vigor, his blood qi, which had already been close to seventeen thousand miles, swiftly broke through to seventeen thousand miles.


    Then, it neared eighteen thousand.


    Neen thousand.


    Gradually approaching a radius of twenty thousand miles!


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body attained an astonishing radius of twenty thousand miles of blood qi.


    At that moment, in the Core Disciple region, a certain mountain peak suddenly burst into radiance, with tremendous Heaven and Earth forces converging upon the mountain.


    The astonishing Heaven and Earth forces rmed the upper echelons and all disciples of the Azure God Academy.


    ¡°It¡¯s Brother Xie Buhui¡¯s mountain peak! He has broken through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one fell swoop, attracting the forces of Heaven and Earth to temper his body!¡±


    ¡°What, he has broken through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go! That¡¯s just monstrous! Brother Xie Buhui truly deserves to be among the Four Swords!¡±


    All the disciples were shocked.


    Chen Jing, seeing Xie Buhui breaking through one hundred and twenty acupoints and attracting the forces of Heaven and Earth to temper his body, was also overjoyed, ¡°Good! Another unparalleled prodigy has emerged in our Azure God Academy!¡±


    Since its ancient establishment, the Azure God Academy had seen countless geniuses.


    But those who could break through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go were few and far between.


    Among all the disciples in the academy now, only Sword Jun, Jun Xiaoyao had achieved that feat in one go.


    From today onwards, there would be another name added¡ªXie Buhui.


    Several hourster.


    Xie Buhui finallypletely refined the forces of Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Congrattions, Brother Xie Buhui!¡± As Xie Buhui emerged from the pce, one Core Disciple after another stepped forward to offer their congrattions.


    ¡°Brother Xie Buhui has now opened up three hundred and ny-nine acupoints, surpassing Jun Xiaoyao. At the year-end academypetition, Brother Xie Buhui will definitely take first ce!¡±


    In the Azure God Continent, those who could open up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, reaching the number of the Grand Cirction, were freaks among freaks, and Xie Buhui had previously opened up two hundred and seventy-nine. Plus the one hundred and twenty from today, that was three hundred and ny-nine!


    In the Martial Venerable Realm, being able to open up three hundred and ny-nine acupoints was exceptionally rare.


    Listening to the ttery of the Core Disciples, Xie Buhui nodded, his face barely able to hide his pride.


    Just as Xie Buhui was basking in pride and high spirits, suddenly, the earth shook, and golden beams of light shot up from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mountain peak toward the sky, piercing into the Nine Heavens.


    These golden beams of light, neither more nor less, totaled three hundred and sixty-five.


    The sky seemed as if it were riddled with three hundred and sixty-five holes.


    While everyone was stunned, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s blood qi roared like a rampant Blood Sea, enveloping the sky and sweeping over Heaven and Earth, submerging peak after peak of the Azure God Academy.

 Chapter 411: Immortal Body

    Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Immortal Body


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s qi and blood engulfed the mountains of all the Inner Sect Disciples before flooding towards the Core Disciples¡¯ peaks.


    At this moment, the sky above the Azure God Academy seemed to be shrouded in an incredibly hot sea of red.


    Everyone was shocked.


    ¡°This, this is unbelievable! How can Yang Xiaotian¡¯s qi and blood be terrifying to this extent!¡±


    ¡°Twenty thousand li in radius! This is a twenty thousand li radius! Even many of the Great Emperors from the Azure God Mansion do not possess such terrifying qi and blood!¡±


    Whether it was Xie Buhui, Jun Xiaoyao, or Princess Jiuhu Bai Li and others, all were astonished.


    They had never imagined that a Martial Venerable¡¯s qi and blood could be terrifying to this extent.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the rest of the high-ranking officials of the Azure God Academy were also extremely shocked.


    What shocked Chen Jing even more was that at this time, those three hundred and sixty-five golden pirs reminded him of a certain legend, an ancient legend.


    One saw the three hundred and sixty-five golden light pirs, like three hundred and sixty-five stars, begin to rotate above the Nine Heavens, forming an Innate Formation Diagram.


    As they rotated, the firmament actually began to descend golden light.


    This golden light, like a shower of gold, kept falling.


    When the golden rain fell, everyone in the Azure God Academy smelled an unusual fragrance.


    This scent was more fragrant than Divine Level Elixirs, more pleasant than Divine Level Spiritual Medicine, intoxicating to no end.


    It seemed to be the most delightful fragrance under heaven.


    The golden rain, refracting in the sunlight, was exquisite beyond words.


    Seeing this golden rain descending, Xie Buhui, Jun Xiaoyao, Princess Jiuhu Bai Li and all the disciples were stunned.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and a group of Divine Spirit experts were profoundly shaken.


    ¡°What is this? Golden rain? How can there be golden rain!¡± a Core Disciple eximed in astonishment, failing to connect to the bigger picture.


    ¡°Heavenly Nectar! This is Heavenly Nectar!¡± an elder excitedly shouted, ¡°Only when one breaches all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, will Heavenly Nectar descend!¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Nectar, our Azure God Academy is about to witness the rise of an Eternal God!¡±


    To breach all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go!


    Hearing the elder¡¯s excited shout, many disciples of the Azure God Academy were so scared they sat down abruptly, staring in horror at the three hundred and sixty-five golden pirs in the sky.


    Xie Buhui was also frightened.


    His face was pale, his body trembling.


    He had cultivated hard for many years, swallowed countless Spirit Pills and exquisite medicines, and after many years, he had finally managed to breach one hundred and twenty acupoints, drawing on the power of Heaven and Earth to temper his body. Yet, Yang Xiaotian had breached three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go!


    ¡°What kind of monster is this! To breach three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go!¡±


    ¡°How many tens of thousands of years has it been since anyone on the Azure God Continent could breach three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go!¡±


    One by one, the disciples of the Azure God Academy were horrified, boiling with excitement, and deeply shocked.


    Princess Jiuhu Bai Li, Princess Wan Ning, and Donghuang Xiu all had their mouths wide open in disbelief.


    ¡°Heavenly Nectar!¡± Even Zeng Qianqian muttered to herself. She had heard her grandfather talk about the ancient legend of Heavenly Nectar; however, her grandfather had said that Heavenly Nectar descending was simply impossible, that the ancient legend was only part of ancient mythology, no longer achievable by anyone.


    But now, she saw it.


    The ancient myth that her grandfather said no one could achieve, she was witnessing it.


    This person, named Yang Xiaotian!


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± At this moment, this name was deeply engraved in her heart.


    In the astonished gazes of everyone, a giant dragon soared from the peak of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mountain, with the dragon lifting its head and roaring. The sound of the dragon¡¯s roar echoed through Heaven and Earth, even the Imperial Capital heard this earth-shaking dragon¡¯s roar.


    Even the Imperial Capital felt the supreme dragon¡¯s might that dominated the Nine Heavens.


    ¡°What kind of dragon is this?¡± asked Li Bi in shock, to Chen Jing.


    Chen Jing was puzzled because even he did not recognize the dragon before him.


    ¡°`


    At this moment, all disciples and high-ranked officials of the Azure God Academy were shocked as they gazed at the dragon soaring through the sky, Yang Xiaotian seemed to be awakening along with this dragon.


    The golden rain bestowed from the Nine Heavens kept falling upon Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body appeared to be submerged in the golden rain.


    Under the operation of the Primordial Dragon Art, the energy of the heavenly nectar continuously melted into every corner of his body.


    An immortal aura began to pervade from inside Yang Xiaotian.


    Once Martial Venerables have opened up one thousand two hundred and ny-six acupoints, their flesh bes immortal.


    But now, after absorbing the heavenly nectar bestowed by the sky, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body exuded an immortal aura.


    Time passed.


    Finally, at dusk, the three hundred and sixty-five golden pirs of light gradually faded away, and the skies ceased to rain down the heavenly nectar.


    Yang Xiaotian ceased the operation of the Primordial Dragon Art.


    When Yang Xiaotian emerged from the pce, he saw that the area around the mountain peak was filled with people.


    Above and below were all disciples of the Azure God Academy.


    Even Chen Jing, Li Bi, and other high-ranking officials had also arrived.


    ¡°An Immortal Body!¡± When Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the other high-ranking officials saw Yang Xiaotian and felt the immortal aura on him, they were all shaken.


    Upon hearing this, all the academy¡¯s disciples, on top of being astonished, looked at Yang Xiaotian with envy.


    It¡¯s known that even Divine Spirits¡¯ bodies aren¡¯t immortal.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian, a mere Venerable Realm cultivator, had formed an Immortal Body after absorbing the nectar that had fallen from the heavens!


    Not just the academy disciples, even Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others were immensely envious; this was an Immortal Body, after all, which wasn¡¯t just about the flesh not decaying after death.


    An Immortal Body harbors many inconceivable powers.


    For instance, an Immortal Body possesses frighteningly strong life force.


    As long as one breath remained, one could self-heal, and the healing speed could be dozens or even a hundred times faster than that of an ordinary Martial Venerable.


    Of course, once one possessed an Immortal Body, their defense was also incredibly formidable.


    ¡°Congrattions to Young Master Yang for cultivating an Immortal Body,¡± Lin Mei¡¯er stepped forward, congratting Yang Xiaotian with a pretty face that could hardly conceal her happiness.


    The Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden Yao Qingxue said with a beaming smile, ¡°Congrattions to Young Master Yang for creating another ancient myth.¡±


    To create one ancient myth was enough to shake the world, but Yang Xiaotian had created one after another, such as the two Divine Elixirs and now, the Immortal Body.


    Within the crowd, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han watched Yang Xiaotian, looking at him with a peculiar gaze.


    Yang Xiaotian had actually cultivated an Immortal Body.


    Their feelings were more than just jealousy.


    It was jealousy that soared to the heavens.


    As for Shen Yuwen and Yan Long, they hid among the crowd, not daring to look at Yang Xiaotian.


    Half an hourter.


    Gradually, everyone dispersed.


    After everyone had left, Yang Xiaotian continued to consume another Life God Fruit.


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Now with two Life God Fruits remaining, once he had refined both, minus one more, his vitality would reach thirty thousand miles and he would be able to open up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one fell swoop, then attract heavenly nectar once again.


    One heavenly nectar had allowed him to cultivate an Immortal Body, and another would surely make his flesh even stronger.


    Therefore, in the days toe, Yang Xiaotian would go nowhere, staying indoors as he consumed the Life God Fruits for cultivation.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian hadpletely refined the remaining two Life God Fruits, his vitality had approached twenty-seven thousand miles.


    And his strength had also skyrocketed, breaking through to the sixthyer of the Martial Venerable Realm.


    (Thanks to the brothers who vote for rmendations every day)


    ¡°`

 Chapter 412: 412: The Three Great Demon Sects

    Chapter 412: Chapter 412: The Three Great Demon Sects


    After breaking through to the Martial Venerable realm, an ordinary Martial Venerable might not be able to break through even a minor realm in twenty years.


    For some geniuses, breaking through a minor realm in ten years would be considered very fast.


    Disciples from the Azure God Academy, for instance, might not make it from the first tier of the Venerable Realm to the second tier in five or six years of cultivation.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian had already broken through to the sixth tier of the Venerable Realm in less than half a year, which was absolutely shocking to hear.


    This was not merely advancing by leaps and bounds, but rather by gigantic strides, by traveling thousands of miles in a single day.


    After swallowing and refining the remaining two Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian came to the Divine Residence.


    The hundred Saints from the Dwarf n tribe had already arrived, and under Man Fang¡¯smand, they forged arge batch of Divine Weapons, armors, and elixirs.


    At the same time, Yang Xiaotian took out a construction blueprint and instructed the dwarf experts to continue building a series of new pces within the Divine Residence.


    In the future, when his parents and the people from the True Dragon Divine Sect arrived, there would be ample space for them to live.


    The Divine Residence covered a vast area, with many ces still unutilized; even the spare spaces could be turned into several thousand more pces.<div>


    However, there was still no news of the ninth-tier Tribtion Thunder Water and Divine Level elixirs.


    Following that, Yang Xiaotian ordered the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python to return to the True Dragon Divine Sect to bring back his family, Xiao Jin, Luo Qing, Wu Qi, the ck Dragon King, and others.


    Now that things had stabilized here, it was time to bring his father, mother, and sister over.


    ¡°Old Ape, tomorrow, you and I will take a trip to the Sea of Stars,¡± Yang Xiaotian told the Demon Ape.


    The tide was receding at the Sea of Stars, and it was the right time to visit.


    As long as he could subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire, he would be able to refine a second-tribtion heavenly grade elixir.


    ¡°Yes, Young Master,¡± the Demon Ape grinned, cracking his joints andughing, ¡°I¡¯ve almost rusted from training all day in the Divine Residence. I¡¯m eager to go to the Sea of Stars with you.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t wait to apany Yang Xiaotian to the Sea of Stars.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said, ¡°Young Master, the high-ranking experts from the Blood Demon Sect, the Evil Buddha Sect, and the Corpse Demon Sect have been inquiring about the receding tides of the Sea of Stars. Many of their experts have already rushed to the Sea of Stars; the journey might be treacherous, why not take a few more people with you?¡±


    ¡°The high-ranking experts from the Blood Demon Sect, Evil Buddha Sect, and Corpse Demon Sect are all entering the Sea of Stars?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    Could it be that the Sea of Stars has revealed some extraordinary treasures?


    Otherwise, why would so many demonic experts enter the Sea of Stars?


    ¡°Yes, and the Blood Demon Sect Master, Evil Buddha Sect Master, and Corpse Demon Sect Master have all set out for the Sea of Stars,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor said with a grave expression.


    ¡°Do you know why they wish to enter the Sea of Stars?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t found out, but they are probably not after the Ziwei Divine Fire,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head.


    ¡°Hmm, I see,¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered, ¡°Continue to seek information about the ninth-tier Tribtion Thunder Water and Divine Level elixirs. You may go now.¡±


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor respectfully acknowledged and left.


    The next day, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape left the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    Although aware that many demonic experts were also venturing into the Sea of Stars this time, Yang Xiaotian still decided to bring only the Demon Ape with him.<div>


    As long as ultimate demonic figures like the Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha did not appear, the Demon Ape¡¯s strength would be sufficient to handle it.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape were on their way to the Sea of Stars, Princess Wan Ning of Myriad Gods also led her subordinates toward the Sea of Stars. She didn¡¯t enter the Sea of Stars for the Ziwei Divine Fire but to find the Star God Iron.


    She aspired to forge a piece of Star Armor and was currentlycking Star God Iron.


    With Yang Xiaotian driving with all his might, the Abyssal Spaceship tore throughyers of clouds, speeding towards the Sea of Stars.<div>


    ¡°Young Master, if we encounter high-ranking experts from the three major demon sects, what should we do?¡± the Demon Ape asked en route.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Receiving Yang Xiaotian¡¯s response, the Demon Ape knew what to do.


    While on the move, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t let the time go to waste, continuing to delve into the Divine Shadow Sword Path.


    Yang Xiaotian was utterly immersed in the Divine Shadow Sword Path.


    It wasn¡¯t until the Demon Ape came to call him that Yang Xiaotian realized they had arrived at the Sea of Stars.


    Stepping off the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian looked out and saw above the sea, gemstones twinkling like stars.


    Under the illumination of these starry gemstones, the surface of the sea shimmered with starlight, breathtakingly beautiful, like a dream.


    At this moment, the Sea of Stars was still raging, with waves surging higher and higher, and its powerful force made people hesitate to approach.


    Clearly, the Sea of Stars hadn¡¯t truly ebbed yet, and it would be a while before the tide receded.


    Because the Sea of Stars hadn¡¯t receded, all the formidable experts could only wait outside.


    Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape were also waiting outside.


    As Yang Xiaotian was waiting, suddenly, arge group of Demon Sect experts came soaring through the sky from afar.<div>


    Upon seeing thisrge group of Demon Sect experts, many of the masters present changed their expressions drastically.


    ¡°Blood Demon Sect, Evil Buddha Sect, Corpse Demon Sect!¡±


    The Blood Demon Sect, Evil Buddha Sect, and Corpse Demon Sect were super Demon Sects that made the great empires, sects, and ns pale at the mention of them.


    And now, they had arrived together!


    This sight naturally astonished the many experts gathered there.


    Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly dodged far away.


    Only Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape stood their ground.


    In a blink, hundreds of experts from the Blood Demon Sect and Corpse Demon Sect arrived.


    A Corpse Demon Sect expert saw Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape still standing in the same spot and was about toe forward and toss the two aside, when the Sect Master Liang Xuan of the Corpse Demon Sect said, ¡°Forget it.¡±


    The Corpse Demon Sect expert then backed off.


    Seeing this, the masters who had dodged away were very surprised, as this was unlike the style of the three major Demon Sects; ording to their usual behavior, they would have thrown Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape flying or even crushed or torn them into pieces on the spot.


    Seeing the three major Demon Sects changing their usual brutal and bloody ways to such caution, Yang Xiaotian was also puzzled.


    The three major Demon Sects were cautious, not wanting to cause trouble, but the Demon Ape didn¡¯t want to let the experts of the three Sects off. He stared at the Corpse Demon Sect expert who had just tried to make a move, grinned, and suddenly pped out.<div>


    Crack!


    The Corpse Demon Sect expert was pped flying by the Demon Ape, and when he hit the ground, his entire body was ttened. Hey there twitching a few times before going still, no longer moving.


    The experts of the three major Demon Sects couldn¡¯t believe their eyes.


    Even the masters from various sects in the distance were stunned.


    The experts of the three major Demon Sects looking at the corpse of the Corpse Demon Sect expert on the ground were filled with bloodthirsty and brutal killing intent as they came to their senses.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    ¡°You are indeed courting death!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The experts of the three major Demon Sects attacked the Demon Ape and Yang Xiaotian in a frenzy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Watching the experts from the three major Demon Sects attack, the Demon Ape chuckled with a hehe, swung the two ten-thousand-foot-long ck Crystal Iron Chains in his hands, turning them into two fatal streaks of light.


    They pierced directly through the bodies of one Demon Sect expert after another.


    Instantly, screams filled the air.


    With a shake of his hands, the thirty-plus Demon Sect experts impaled by the chains were all shattered into pieces.<div>


    Blood rained down.


    Without pausing, the Demon Ape continued to sweep his chains toward the experts from the three major Demon Sects with the momentum of sweeping through a thousand troops.

 Chapter 413: 413 Star God Tree

    Chapter 413: Chapter 413 Star God Tree


    Pang pang pang!


    All the masters from the three great Demon Sects were swept away by the Demon Ape¡¯s ten thousand zhang iron chains.


    No one could withstand the might of the Demon Ape¡¯s iron chains.


    The Sect Master of Corpse Demon Sect, Liang Xuan, watched as the iron chains swept toward him, shing out with his Corpse Demon Great Sword, as a towering surge of corpse energy filled the air.


    The stench of decay was so potent that even those far away felt the urge to vomit.


    ng!


    The Corpse Demon Great Sword struck the iron chains.


    After a sharp, clear ringing sound, the Corpse Demon Great Sword was sent flying, and Liang Xuan himself was thrown backward like a withered leaf, smashing into the distant beach, causing countless specks of sand to scatter into the air.


    The spectacle shocked everyone present.


    The Corpse Demon Sect was one of the strongest Demon Sects on Azure God Continent, and as its Sect Master, Liang Xuan was no ordinary Divine Spirit; yet, he couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow from this burly man covered in ck hair.<div>


    The masters from the three great Demon Sects were also shocked.


    Once more, the Demon Ape swung its iron chain, transforming it into a dragon of cold light that instantly wrapped around several masters from the Demon Sects. Before they could react, they were pulled in front of the Demon Ape.


    The Demon Ape threw a punch, instantly smashing the heads of these Demon Sect masters into a pulp.


    Blood spurted out.


    It even stained the nearby Sea of Stars red.


    Witnessing the fierce might of the Demon Ape, not only the distant crowd but also the masters from the three great Demon Sects were stricken with fear and retreated.


    It was at this moment that someone suddenly shouted, ¡°The tide is receding!¡±


    Everyone looked and saw that the previously turbulent surface of the Sea of Stars was rapidly falling, soon ttening out. The inds which had been submerged were slowly reemerging.


    ¡°Enter the Sea of Stars!¡± the Sect Master of Corpse Demon Sect, Liang Xuan, roared. He was the first to break through the air, rushing into the Sea of Stars.


    Seeing this, the other masters from the three great Demon Sects didn¡¯t bother with Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape. They all rushed into the Sea of Stars, leaving not a single one behind, save for dozens of corpses.


    ¡°Chase!¡± Yang Xiaotian immediately said in a cold voice, then followed the Demon Ape in pursuit.


    The three great Demon Sects had already joined forces with the Nether Sect and the Undying Death God Alliance, so for these masters of the Demon Sects who had joined forces with the Nether Sect and the Undying Death God Alliance, killing one was one fewer enemy.


    So, the Demon Ape gave chase.


    And dealt with dozens more Demon Sect masters.


    Seeing that Liang Xuan and the others had escaped far away, it finally stopped.


    Afterward, the Demon Ape dragged a Supreme Elder from Corpse Demon Sect before Yang Xiaotian.


    This Supreme Elder from the Corpse Demon Sect was not yet dead, the Demon Ape intentionally left him a few breaths of life.


    After interrogation by the Demon Ape and Yang Xiaotian, the Supreme Elder of Corpse Demon Sect finally revealed the purpose behind the three great Demon Sects entering the Sea of Stars.


    As it turned out, the masters from the three great Demon Sects hade to the Sea of Stars mainly for the Star God Iron.<div>


    ¡°Star God Iron?¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered, ¡°We shall go in search of the Ziwei Divine Fire first.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡±


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape disappeared into the sky.


    Although Star God Iron was also a rare treasure, for him at the present, the Ziwei Divine Fire was more important.<div>


    As for that Supreme Elder from the Corpse Demon Sect, he was torn into two halves by the Demon Ape.


    While Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape were flying towards the ind that Princess Wan Ning had mentioned, Princess Wan Ning and her entourage of masters had also arrived at the Sea of Stars.


    Masters from various sects and factions were also pouring into the Sea of Stars.


    ¡°Tianxuan Gate has obtained the Star God Water!¡±


    ¡°Wind Thunder Pavilion has obtained the Wind Thunder Divine Stone.¡±


    As masters from different sects and factions flooded in, news of the treasures obtained by the various sects and factions emerged.


    Star God Water and Wind Thunder Divine Stone were indeed rare treasures.


    Especially the Star God Water, it is even better than the Life Essence Fluid, an Innate Divine Water.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised to learn that Tianxuan Gate had obtained the Star God Water.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect there would be Star God Water in the Sea of Stars,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    If he could obtain the Star God Water and practice with the six-fold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the results would naturally be even better.


    ¡°Legend has it that there is a Star God Tree in the Sea of Stars, though I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s true,¡± the Demon Ape said.


    ¡°The Star God Tree!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart trembled.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om<div>


    ¡°Yes, the Star God Tree!¡± the Demon Ape nodded, ¡°ording to legend, since the birth of the Sea of Stars, the Star God Tree has been growing for countless years. The Lord of Azure God once saw the Star God Tree and picked several dozen Star God Fruits. It is precisely because of this that the Lord of Azure Godid an extremely solid foundation.¡±


    ¡°Only then did he cultivate fourteen Heavenly Fate and fourteen Holy Fruits.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian suddenly realized.


    No wonder the Lord of Azure God could condense fourteen Heavenly Fate and fourteen Holy Fruits.


    He had obtained several dozen Star God Fruits.


    Star God Fruits,parable to Life God Fruits, the concept of several dozen of them was staggering.


    Even an ordinary gifted disciple, consuming several dozen Star God Fruits and cultivating hard for decades, could see their cultivation soar to an astonishing realm.


    ¡°However, since the Lord of Azure God, the Star God Tree has not been seen again,¡± the Demon Ape said, ¡°In the past million years, the Star God Tree should have produced another dozen or so Star God Fruits.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart was on fire.


    If he could obtain a dozen or so Star God Fruits, he would definitely be able to open up all 1,296 acupoints in his body within a year, and then make a breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.


    Perhaps even stronger!


    Therefore, after subduing the Ziwei Divine Fire, Yang Xiaotian decided to search for the Star God Tree properly.


    The two continued flying toward the ind of Ziwei Divine Fire.<div>


    One dayter, a massive ind, like a tract ofnd, appeared in their field of vision.


    This ind was fiery red and very conspicuous in the Sea of Stars.


    ording to what Princess Wan Ning said, it was on this very ind that she had once encountered the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    Yang Xiaotian sped up and reached the airspace above the ind.


    There was no sunlight in the Sea of Stars, only the faint light of stars, like the resplendent night sky, but this ind was so brightly lit that it illuminated the surrounding sea area.


    Upon entering the ind, Yang Xiaotian already felt the exceptionally active Power of Fire.


    Moreover, the Thunder Tribtion Divine me and Thousand Buddha Divine me inside his body became very active.


    Indeed, as Princess Wan Ning had said, the Ziwei Divine Fire was within this ind, otherwise, the Thunder Tribtion Divine me and Thousand Buddha Divine me within him wouldn¡¯t be so active.


    But Yang Xiaotian felt the presence of imminent danger.


    This danger was not from the Ziwei Divine Fire, but from another powerful existence on the ind.


    ¡°Young master, be careful,¡± the Demon Ape too sensed the dangerous aura of another powerful existence and spoke out.


    No sooner had he spoken than the ground of the ind suddenly exploded, revealing a gigantic fire lion bursting out from the earth, opening its fiery maw to engulf Yang Xiaotian.


    This fire lion was the ancient Divine Beast Pyrostic Lion, thepanion beast of the Ziwei Divine Fire. It had lurked underground, swallowing the fire¡¯s spiritual energy from the Ziwei Divine me to cultivate for many years, and its Divine Power was impressive.<div>


    Seeing this, the Demon Ape immediately threw a punch.


    Boom!


    His fist collided with the giant paw of the Pyrostic Lion.


    The Pyrostic Lion was sted away, flinging several mountains across the ind.


    The Demon Ape was also shaken back repeatedly.


    The strength of this Pyrostic Lion was on par with the Demon Sky Sword God of the past, and even if it was slightly weaker, there wasn¡¯t much of a difference.


    ¡°Young master, go subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire. I will deal with the Pyrostic Lion!¡± the Demon Ape howled and threw another punch toward the Pyrostic Lion.

 Chapter 414: 414: The Three Great Divine Flames

    Chapter 414: Chapter 414: The Three Great Divine mes


    The Pyrostic Lion was sted away by the Demon Ape, and in its pain, it roared furiously as it charged crazily towards the Demon Ape.


    The two shed in battle.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hesitate; he bypassed them and flew towards the location of the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    The Pyrostic Lion perceived Yang Xiaotian¡¯s intention, flew into a rage, and wanted to make a move against Yang Xiaotian, but was stopped by the Demon Ape.


    Yang Xiaotian arrived at the highest peak of the ind and took out the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron; his True Yuan and all 365 acupoints were fully operable.


    All the True Yuan surged out, the cauldron swung onto the peak of the mountain.


    Boom!


    A heaven-shaking loud noise was heard.


    The mountain peak was sted away by Yang Xiaotian, crumbling into pieces.


    As the mountain peak was pulverized by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s swing,<div>


    Endless and infinite celestial mes burst forth.


    One could see one, two, three, a total of seven Star Heavenly Fires, like stars, flying out from the depths of the earth.


    The seven great Star Heavenly Fires converged into a Formation Map, forming a mass of divine fire¡ªthis was the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    With the appearance of the Ziwei Divine Fire, Heaven and Earth became brightened, and the surface of the surrounding Sea of Stars seemed to be covered withyers of celestial mes, brilliantly illuminated.


    The astonishing mes surged wildly towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Before the mes even reached him, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he were in the midst of a sea of billions of mes, with the sensation that his whole body was about to be incinerated to ash.


    Yang Xiaotian had never encountered such terrifying mes; even thebined might of the zing power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire was not as fearsome as the mes before him.


    Even if his defenses were fully deployed, if these mes sttered the slightest bit on him, he would be reduced to ash.


    In the instant that the mes were about to engulf Yang Xiaotian, Master Ding enveloped him with a ray of light.


    ¡°Use the Controlling Fire Technique!¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice rang out.


    Yang Xiaotian hastily operated the Controlling Fire Technique, releasing Fire Runes in an attempt to subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire, but the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire was too strong¡ªYang Xiaotian¡¯s Fire Runes shattered upon contact.


    Yang Xiaotian repeatedlyunched Fire Runes.


    But the Fire Runes were repeatedly shattered by the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    His Fire Runes couldn¡¯t get near the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    The celestial mes of the Ziwei Divine Fire were like a boundless ocean, wave upon wave, surging up thousands of feet; within the mes, the seven Star Heavenly Fires pulsated with light.


    Compared to the Celestial me he had tamed earlier, this Ziwei Divine Fire was in apletely different league.


    The Celestial me was ranked in the top hundred Abnormal Fires, and its power was not weak, but it wasn¡¯t one-millionth of the Ziwei Divine Fire¡¯s.


    The mes of the Ziwei Divine Fire turned into a sea of fire spanning who knows how many miles; even the two Divine Beasts, the Demon Ape and the Pyrostic Lion, couldn¡¯t withstand the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire. Thus, they continued to fight while retreating, until they had left the ind, retreating tens of thousands of miles away.


    Yang Xiaotian simply couldn¡¯t restrain the Ziwei Divine Fire, but fortunately, Master Ding emitted one ray of light after another, enveloping the Ziwei Divine Fire, preventing it from flying away.<div>


    Even so, the Ziwei Divine Fire continued to bombard Master Ding¡¯s light barrier, causing it to resound incessantly.


    The power of the Ziwei Divine Fire far exceeded Yang Xiaotian¡¯s imagination.


    Seven days passed, and the Ziwei Divine Fire remained like a wild tiger and lion, causing the light barrier to resound incessantly.


    Each time the light barrier dimmed, the Ziwei Divine Fire¡¯s bombardment became even more intense.<div>


    Over the course of seven days, Yang Xiaotian persisted inunching one Fire Rune after another.


    Yet, as the Fire Runes got close to the Ziwei Divine Fire, they continued to be shattered.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the still fiercely hot and ferocious Ziwei Divine Fire, somewhat speechless.


    This was a bit too fierce.


    To think that the original Thousand Buddha Divine Fire had worn out after just three days; now, seven days had passed, and the Ziwei Divine Fire was still bursting with vitality.


    If this continues for another ten days to half a month, I¡¯m afraid the waters of the Sea of Stars will rise again.


    By then, he would have to retreat from the Sea of Stars.


    Once the waters of the Sea of Stars rise, a type of Star Origin Water will swell up from the deep abyss of the sea.


    This Star Origin Water weighs a billion pounds per drop, and even a Divine Spirit Powerhouse would be crushed to dust if engulfed by it, leaving no remains behind.


    Therefore, he had to subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire before the waters of the Sea of Stars rose again.


    Three more days passed.


    Atst, the vigorous Ziwei Divine Fire began to show signs of exhaustion.


    Seeing that the Ziwei Divine Fire finally showed signs of fatigue, Yang Xiaotian felt a sense of relief, but he dared not let his guard down, continually infusing the me with Fire Runes.<div>


    Another day went by.


    Atst, the Fire Runes broke through the defenses of the Ziwei Divine Fire and merged with it.


    As the Fire Runes integrated, the Ziwei Divine Fire gradually became subdued.


    Two more days passed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Ziwei Divine Fire finally becamepletely subdued, and Yang Xiaotian formed a blood connection with it.


    He extended his hand, and the Ziwei Divine Fire shrank continuously,nding on his palm.


    Looking at the Ziwei Divine Fire in front of him, Yang Xiaotian could hardly conceal his joy.


    This was the seventh-ranked Divine me, after all.


    He had deeply experienced the strength of the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    Having subdued the Ziwei Divine Fire, he now had three major Divine mes, and he could soon begin refining second-tribute heavenly grade elixirs.


    Moreover, if he faced the Undying Death Qi and Netherworld Ghost Qi again, he would now have a certain suppressive power against them.


    Yang Xiaotian stored the Ziwei Divine Fire carefully, and by this time, the Demon Ape had also returned to his side.


    The Pyrostic Lion had been defeated and had fled eleven days earlier.<div>


    ¡°Congrattions, young master,¡± the Demon Ape said, unable to hide his joy upon seeing Yang Xiaotian subduing the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go find the Star God Tree!¡±


    The Sea of Stars was vast and boundless. Although the hopes of finding the Star God Tree were slim, Yang Xiaotian still wanted to search for it.


    However, with only a few days left before the next high tide, they had to hurry.


    The two of them took to the skies and left the ind.


    A day quickly passed, and while they did not find the Star God Tree, they dide across many treasures. Yang Xiaotian even found a bit of Star God Water.


    But just a few mouthfuls, nothing more.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian spent his days searching for the Star God Tree and his nights cultivating on a certain ind.


    One day, as Yang Xiaotian passed by an ind, he encountered many experts from various sects.


    ¡°The experts from the Myriad Gods Empire and the ones from the three major Demon Sects are fighting!¡±


    ¡°Although the Myriad Gods Empire has brought many experts this time, they are still weakerpared to the three major Demon Sects. I¡¯m afraid Princess Wan Ning is in danger.¡±


    ¡°Princess Wan Ning is such a delicate beauty. If she falls into the hands of the three major Demon Sects¡¯ experts, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll be ravaged to death by hundreds, such a pity!¡±


    ¡°Princess Wan Ning is the most beloved daughter of the Great Emperor Myriad Gods. Surely the experts from the three major Demon Sects wouldn¡¯t dare do anything to her, right?¡±<div>


    ¡°Not dare? Just some days ago, the Corpse Demon Sect and the Nether Sect had the audacity to besiege the Azure God Mansion. Do you think the Corpse Demon Sect would be afraid of the Great Emperor Myriad Gods?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression darkened. He approached the sect experts, handed them a bag of Spirit Stones, and after learning the location where the three major Demon Sects and the Myriad Gods Empire were shing, he and the Demon Ape immediately rushed there at full speed.


    At that moment, on a certain ind, experts from the three major Demon Sects were surrounding and attacking the subordinates of Princess Wan Ning.


    Indeed, as the sect experts had said, the forces the Myriad Gods Empire brought, although numerous, were still weakerpared to the three major Demon Sects. Under the siege of the Demon Sect experts, the Myriad Gods Empire¡¯s forces were continuously being in.

 Chapter 415: 415: Junior Brother Yang!

    Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Junior Brother Yang!


    Watching one elite warrior of the Myriad Gods Empire fall after another, Liang Xuan, the Sect Master of the Corpse Demon Sect, sneered coldly. His eyes swept over Princess Wan Ning¡¯s stunning face and the towering front of her figure, feeling a fiery heat in his heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    ¡°Elder Yan, we¡¯ll stay behind to hold them off, you take the princess and go!¡± yelled a master of the Myriad Gods Empire, his Divine Power continuously expanding and crazily assaulting the three great Demon Sect elites, attempting to tear open a gap.


    But as soon as he made his move, he was embarrassingly sent flying back by a punch from the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect.


    The Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sectughed wickedly, ¡°Leave? Do you really think you can still escape?¡± His gaze fell upon Princess Wan Ning, ¡°Princess Wan Ning, isn¡¯t it? Truly, a beauty that can topple cities and states!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s rare is that she¡¯s still an untouched flower.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, soon we will let you fully experience our mighty battle force, guaranteeing you ecstasy beyond the heavens.¡±


    The three great Demon Sect elitesughed heartily.


    Princess Wan Ning was so angry her face turned purple.


    ¡°Sect Master, we¡¯ll get our share when the timees, right?¡± asked a senior ancestor from the Blood Demon Sect at the Holy Realm level with a smile.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone will get their share!¡±ughed the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect maniacally.<div>


    Wan Ning trembled with intense fury.


    She looked at her subordinates falling one by one, feeling frantic, furious, and heartbroken.


    These guards had followed her since childhood.


    ¡°Liang Xuan, if you let our princess go, our Myriad Gods Empire will grant you a precious treasure,¡± said Elder Yan solemnly by Wan Ning¡¯s side, ¡°Whatever you want, as long as the Myriad Gods Empire has it, we will deliver it to you with both hands.¡±


    Liang Xuan shook his head, ¡°Treasures, we of the Corpse Demon Sect have plenty.¡± Then, staring at Wan Ning, he smiled sinisterly, ¡°However, after we¡¯ve enjoyed your princess and grown tired, it won¡¯t be toote to exchange her for the precious treasures from the vaults of the Myriad Gods Empire.¡±


    Elder Yan and the masters of the Myriad Gods Empire could hardly contain their rage.


    ¡°Elder Yan, escape and don¡¯t worry about me!¡± Amidst her anger, Wan Ning calmed down and said to Elder Yan beside her.


    Given Elder Yan¡¯s strength, if he escaped alone, there was still hope to carve a bloody path.


    Elder Yan shook his head without saying a word, how could they possibly abandon the princess and flee.


    With a coldugh, Liang Xuan then turned his gaze to the Demon Sect masters who were mining the Star God Iron in the distance and shouted, ¡°Hurry up! The tide is rising. If you don¡¯t mine the Star God Iron before the tidees in, you should know the consequences when you get back!¡±


    The Demon Sect masters who were mining trembled, once again activated their Holy Power, and started mining with all their might.


    However, the ground covering the Star God Iron was too hard; even senior ancestors of the Holy Realm level, using swordsparable to the Heavenly Sword to mine, found it difficult to break through.


    Having scolded the mining masters, Liang Xuan suddenly shed forward to face Elder Yan and pped out his palm. Liang Xuan was too fast, and before Elder Yan could react, he was sent flying with a blow.


    When hended, there was a ck palm print on his chest.


    From the palm print, a shocking corpse aura emanated, and his chest began to rot.


    Moreover, the corpse aura was spreading, corroding the area around his chest.


    ¡°Corpse Poison Palm!¡± Elder Yan spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The Corpse Poison Palm, one of the most vicious poison palm techniques on the Azure God Continent.


    Practitioners would soak their hands in corpse water for years, and once perfected, anyone hit by the technique would have their body eroded by corpse aura, continuously rotting away.<div>


    The pain was unbearable.


    ¡°Elder Yan!¡± cried Princess Wan Ning upon seeing Elder Yan struck by Liang Xuan¡¯s Corpse Poison Palm.


    She was well aware of the horror of the Corpse Poison Palm.


    And the poison from the Corpse Poison Palm was extremely difficult to expel, with almost no antidote.<div>


    If there was no Life Essence Fluid or Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water within a short period of time, death was almost certain.


    After sending Elder Yan flying with a palm, Liang Xuan¡¯s hands didn¡¯t stop, waving continuously.


    ¡°`


    Myriad Gods Empire¡¯s experts kept getting blown away.


    Some experts of the Myriad Gods Empire had their hearts exploded by Liang Xuan¡¯s Corpse Poison Palm, dying immediately.


    ¡°Go all out!¡± Liang Xuan said to the three Demon Sect experts, ¡°The sooner we finish, the sooner we can enjoy.¡±


    The three Demon Sect experts were greatly encouraged and attacked with full force.


    Soon, hundreds of experts from the Myriad Gods Empire were all either blown away or directly smacked to death.


    In the end, only Princess Wan Ning remained standing.


    ¡°Go, bring her here,¡± Liang Xuanmanded an expert from the Corpse Demon Sect standing nearby.


    The Corpse Demon Sect expert happilyplied, and with a sh, he was in front of Princess Wan Ning. However, just as he reached out to grab her, suddenly, a howl sounded.


    The Corpse Demon Sect expert turned in shock and saw a ck iron chain hurtling through the air.


    Seeing the ck iron chain, his face changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but it was toote; the chain whipped down from above his head in an instant.<div>


    The Corpse Demon Sect expert was split in half by the forceful strike.


    Each half of his body flew apart.


    The sudden change left everyone stunned.


    People looked and saw a young man in blue clothes approaching through the air, followed by a brawny man covered in ck fur.


    Seeing the neers, the experts from the three Demon Sects all changed colors.


    Liang Xuan¡¯s hand trembled even more.


    Just over ten days ago, his Corpse Demon Greatsword had been struck by the Demon Ape Iron Chain, leaving it with arge notch.


    Princess Wan Ning, upon seeing the neer, showed disbelief mixed with joy on her pretty face, ¡°Junior Brother Yang!¡±


    The neer was actually Junior Brother Yang!


    She had not expected to encounter Junior Brother Yang here.


    ¡°You again, brat!¡± the Evil Buddha Sect Master looked at Yang Xiaotian with a mix of shock and anger, gritting his teeth, ¡°You¡¯ve offended our three great Demon Sects, and your end will be very miserable, very miserable indeed, and not just you but also your sect, your family, all will suffer a fate worse than death!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t bother wasting words and let the Demon Ape start ughtering.


    The Demon Ape howled, stepped forward, and arrived above the ind, swinging its two long iron chains once again.<div>


    Seeing the two sweeping chains, the Evil Buddha Sect Master panicked. In terms of strength, he was slightly less than Liang Xuan, and even Liang Xuan had trouble blocking a blow from the Demon Ape Iron Chain, let alone him!


    He dared not meet the chains head-on and hence tried to dodge in panic, but the Demon Ape obviously didn¡¯t want to spare him, as the iron chains continuously pursued him.


    Yang Xiaotian flew to Princess Wan Ning¡¯s side.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang! Howe you are in the Sea of Stars!¡± Princess Wan Ning eximed with surprise and joy, unable to hide the happiness in her eyes.


    Looking at Yang Xiaotian before her, she felt an inexplicable sense of security, as if she wouldn¡¯t be afraid no matter what fell from the sky.


    Upon hearing Princess Wan Ning ask how he came to be in the Sea of Stars, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t know how to answer; surely he couldn¡¯t say he was there to find the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    Yang Xiaotian cleared his throat and said, ¡°I¡¯ll start by treating their wounds.¡± With that, he went to Elder Yan and took out ten drops of sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    ¡°Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water!¡± Princess Wan Ning¡¯s beautiful eyes widened.


    Even Elder Yan, who had thought he was sure to die, stared in disbelief.


    That young man actually had Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and sixfold at that.


    Yang Xiaotian fed Elder Yan the ten drops of sixfold Tribtion Thunder Water and then proceeded to the other experts of the Myriad Gods Empire, giving each of them ten drops to swallow.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian possessing so much sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, not only Princess Wan Ning and others were dumbstruck, but also Liang Xuan and others stared with bulging eyes.


    ¡°`<div>

 Chapter 416: 416 Tide Rises

    Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Tide Rises


    The sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water truly lived up to its reputation as a miraculous healing item capable of bringing the dead back to life. After swallowing the sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Elder Yan and the others quickly recovered from their injuries.


    The corpse poison in their bodies was continuously purified by the thunderous energy within the Thunder Water.


    With their injuries healed, Elder Yan and his party joined the great battle, fighting alongside the Demon Ape against the masters of the three major Demon Sects.


    Moments ago, the people of the Divine Dragon Empire had been almost unterally ughtered by the masters of the three major Demon Sects, but now with the Demon Ape on their side, each member of the Divine Dragon Empire fought with renewed ferocity, their eyes blood-red with killing intent, forcing the masters of the three major Demon Sects into a steady retreat.


    Liang Xuan, the Evil Buddha Sect Master, and the Blood Demon Sect Master, along with a group of powerful fighters, surrounded and attacked the Demon Ape. But the ferocity of the Demon Ape far exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Even with hundreds of them attacking the Demon Ape, they were still sted away, coughing up blood without cease.


    Fueled by the thrill of battle, the Demon Ape roared to the heavens, its body bursting with dark light, transforming into its true form¡ªa colossal Demon Ape that reached for the sky, the iron chain in its handshing down.


    Boom!


    Several masters from the Demon Sects were instantly smashed to pieces by the iron chain.


    The iron chain crashed onto the ground.


    The earth cracked.<div>


    The ind shook violently, as if it were about to split apart.


    Witnessing the true form of the Demon Ape that reached for the sky, Liang Xuan and the others went pale.


    ¡°The Heartfelt Demon Ape!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the one from Demon Ape Ridge!¡±


    An elder from the Blood Demon Sect eximed in shock.


    Liang Xuan and the others finally realized who the man with the violent killing intent before them was.


    It was none other than the Heartfelt Demon Ape that had been suppressed under Demon Ape Ridge by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God.


    If one were to name the most notorious demon in the Azure God Continent over the past ten thousand years, the one from Demon Ape Ridge would undoubtedly top the list.


    Realizing they were facing the Heartfelt Demon Ape, the masters of the three major Demon Sects felt a chill in their hearts.


    Before being suppressed by the Heavenly Dragon Sword God, the Heartfelt Demon Ape had ughtered countless Sects, leaving rivers of blood in its wake. Moreover, hardly any of those killed were left intact.


    They were either smashed to pieces or torn into countless fragments.


    ¡°Elder, with your esteemed reputation, why would you submit to a junior of the Human Race!¡± Liang Xuan, suppressing the shock in his heart, tried to persuade the Demon Ape. ¡°With your fame, if you were to join us, the Corpse Demon Ancestor and the Undying Death God Himself would surely wee you from thousands of miles away!¡±


    ¡°With that, what concern would we have for not being able to sweep through the Azure God Continent!¡±


    However, what responded to Liang Xuan was the furious swing of the Demon Ape¡¯s staff.


    The Demon Ape¡¯s iron chain smashed towards Liang Xuan: ¡°Screw your mother¡¯s egg! What Corpse Demon, what Undying Death God, they aren¡¯t even worthy to wash my young master¡¯s balls!¡±


    Not worthy to wash his balls!


    Hearing the Demon Ape¡¯s words, Liang Xuan and the others were both shocked and enraged.


    Princess Wan Ning¡¯s face turned a shade redder, and she spat.


    The subordinates of Junior Brother Yang are quite something.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian stood right beside Princess Wan Ning, and upon hearing this, ck lines appeared on his forehead.


    This old ape really had no filter!


    He had not expected the old ape to suddenly bring up the Undying Death God and his own balls in the same breath.


    Suddenly, the Demon Ape¡¯s heart in its chest began to thrum powerfully, each beat resounding like the pounding of a drum.<div>


    ¡°The Heartfelt Power! He is about to activate the Heartfelt Power!¡± The Evil Buddha Sect Master¡¯s face changed drastically.


    In the Hundred n Empire, many ancient tribes had powerful bloodlines and physiques, some born with divine eyes, some with wings on their backs, but the Heartfelt Demon Ape tribe was born with a heartfelt constitution.


    Heartfelt, known as the undying heart.


    This was also why the Heavenly Dragon Sword God could not kill the Demon Ape back then.


    Once the Heartfelt Power was activated, the Demon Ape¡¯s strength would soar once more.


    The Demon Ape was already terrifyingly powerful, but with the Heartfelt Power activated, just how strong would it be?


    Liang Xuan and the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, sensing the Demon Ape¡¯s escting power, were even more terrified.


    But now, as the Star God Iron had not yet been excavated, they dared not retreat even if they wished to do so.


    This Star God Iron is what the Undying Death God demands.


    The Sect Ancestors from the three major sects have said that even if they die, they must bring back the Star God Iron.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Liang Xuan, his face full of fierce desperation, roared as he brandished the Corpse Demon greatsword wildly at the Demon Ape, while screaming, ¡°Dig faster, give it all you¡¯ve got!¡±


    The group of Demon Sect elites digging for Star God Iron dug even more frantically.


    The ground rang with the chaos of their digging.<div>


    However, as soon as Liang Xuan¡¯s Corpse Demon greatsword was swung out, it was struck by the Demon Ape Iron Chain.


    ng!


    Liang Xuan and the Corpse Demon greatsword were sent flying once again.


    Anotherrge chip appeared on the Corpse Demon greatsword.


    ¡°Kill that brat!¡± The Evil Buddha Sect Master, pointing his sword at Yang Xiaotian with blood-red eyes, eximed, ¡°After saying that, he made the first move to sh at Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    But before his attack could reach Yang Xiaotian, the Demon Ape Iron Chain swung once more, forcing him into an embarrassing retreat.


    With the Demon Ape Iron Chain swinging continuously, one Demon Sect expert after another was whipped into pieces, smashed into pulp, or blown through.


    Neither Liang Xuan, the Evil Buddha Sect Master, nor the Blood Demon Sect Master could withstand a single strike from the Demon Ape.


    Under the unceasing ughter of the Demon Ape, the number of experts from the three major Demon Sects dwindled.


    In the end, only Liang Xuan, the Evil Buddha Sect Master, the Blood Demon Sect Master, and a few powerful Divine Spirit Realm elders remained.


    Seeing their peers being continuously whipped into pieces and smashed into pulp, those powerfully skilled Divine Spirit Realm elders were filled with fear in their eyes and had long since lost the courage to continue fighting.


    Eventually, a Divine Spirit Realm elder could no longer bear the terror in his heart and fled in desperation, without looking back.


    Liang Xuan¡¯s expression turned ugly at the sight.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om<div>


    He scanned the other elders with a sharp look in his eyes, ¡°Who dares to flee! Have you thought about the consequences?¡±


    But no matter how loudly Liang Xuan shouted, he couldn¡¯t stop the other Divine Spirit Ancestors from feeling terror in their hearts, and some still fled.


    If they didn¡¯t flee now, they would surely die!


    If they fled, perhaps there was a slim chance of survival.


    Liang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but turn an ashen color.


    He looked towards the ten or so Demon Sect elites who were excavating Star God Iron, only to see them being surrounded and ughtered by the experts of the Myriad Gods Empire, unable to continue their excavation.


    A sense of tragic realization suddenly dawned in Liang Xuan¡¯s heart.


    Clearly, it was impossible for them to excavate the Star God Iron now.


    ¡°Brother Liang, we should retreat for now and report the situation to our ancestors. They should understand,¡± the Blood Demon Sect Master said urgently.


    ¡°Yes, Brother Liang, let¡¯s retreat first!¡± The Evil Buddha Sect Master also cried out urgently.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Left with no choice, Liang Xuan could only give the order.


    Following Liang Xuan¡¯smand, the remaining experts from the three major Demon Sects desperately fled for their lives.


    The Demon Ape pursued to kill.<div>


    After a short while, it returned.


    ¡°Thank you for your rescue, Young Master. Yan Kang will never forget this kindness. When I return, I must report to the Great Emperor and express my deepest gratitude to you!¡± Elder Yan bowed deeply to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his hand and smiled, ¡°It was nothing.¡±


    Subsequently, the Myriad Gods Empire put all their effort into excavating the Star God Iron.


    Just as everyone finished excavating the Star God Iron, suddenly, the entire Sea of Stars began to shake violently. In the distance on the horizon, wave after colossal wave surged towards the sky, approaching with terrifying speed.


    ¡°The tide ising!¡±


    Everyone who saw the towering waves swallowing everything in their path was terrified.


    ¡°Quick, we must leave the Sea of Stars!¡± Princess Wan Ning urgently summoned her flying ship, and she boarded it along with the elites of the Myriad Gods Empire.


    Left with no choice as the tide was rising, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape could only board the flying ship and leave.

 Chapter 417: 417: Returning to the Eternal Burial Ground

    Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Returning to the Eternal Burial Ground


    The tidal surge of the Sea of Stars, like a beast that swallowed the sky, opened its gaping maw, endlessly engulfing everything within the Sea of Stars; several sect experts who failed to flee in time were drowned by the sea.


    They didn¡¯t even have time to scream.


    The tide of the Sea of Stars rose too quickly, boundless waves surged towards the sky, covering the sun and threatening to swallow even the stars above.


    Although the spaceships of the Myriad Gods Empire were fast enough, the speed of the tidal wave was even faster, furiously chasing after the Empire¡¯s spaceship like a Star Behemoth, relentlessly closing in.


    Watching the rapidly approaching giant waves, all the experts of the Myriad Gods Empire turned pale, and Princess Wan Ning¡¯s heart rose to her throat with nervousness.


    ¡°You should take my spaceship instead.¡± Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian brought out the Abyssal Spaceship under the puzzled gazes of Elder Yan and the others.


    ¡°A divine-level spaceship?!¡± Elder Yan was shocked to see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Abyssal Spaceship.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, then beckoned Princess Wan Ning, Elder Yan, and the others onto his spaceship.


    With all his strength, Yang Xiaotian propelled the Abyssal Spaceship into a streak of light that tore through the heavy airwaves, quickly putting distance between them and the starry tidal wave.


    Elder Yan and the others, feeling the iparable speed of the Abyssal Spaceship, were deeply shaken.<div>


    Princess Wan Ning was amazed and became even more curious about Yang Xiaotian.


    First, there was the Divine Elixir, twelve Sword Hearts, and then the Earth me, Nine Phoenixes Golden me, Burying Heaven Sword, Demon-ying Sword, and now, both the Heartfelt Demon Ape and a divine-level spaceship.


    She was truly curious about what other secrets Junior Brother Yang might have.


    Under the high-speed flight of the Abyssal Spaceship, everyone finally left the Sea of Stars safely.


    After leaving the Sea of Stars and when the spaceship reached the borders of the Myriad Gods Empire, Yang Xiaotian said to Princess Wan Ning, ¡°Senior Sister Wan, I have other matters and can¡¯t take you back to the Myriad Gods Academy.¡±


    Once again, a year had passed, and the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was about to open. He wanted to enter the Tomb to search for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    If he hurried to the Eternal Burial Ground now, he would just make it in time.


    Upon hearing this, although Princess Wan Ning felt disappointed, she could only bow to Yang Xiaotian in thanks, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, thank you. Without you, Elder Yan and I would not have been able to leave the Sea of Stars.¡±


    Saying this, Princess Wan Ning¡¯s eyes lingered on Yang Xiaotian.


    Feeling somewhat embarrassed by Princess Wan Ning¡¯s lingering gaze, Yang Xiaotianughed, ¡°Senior Sister Wan, you¡¯re too courteous; what I did was merely a small effort.¡±


    Then, under Princess Wan Ning¡¯s watchful eye, he set the spaceship in motion, disappearing into the horizon with the Demon Ape.


    Elder Yan and the other experts of the Myriad Gods Empire all bowed respectfully as they watched Yang Xiaotian depart.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vanishing figure, Elder Yan felt a lingering sense of emotion.


    ¡°Princess, Young Master Yang has already left far behind. Shall we return to the Imperial Capital first?¡± Elder Yan saw Princess Wan Ning staring nkly in the direction where Yang Xiaotian disappeared and couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    But Princess Wan Ning suddenly said, ¡°Elder Yan, what do you think Junior Brother Yang will be in the future?¡±


    Elder Yan was stunned, pondered, and said, ¡°The Eternal God!¡±


    The Eternal God!


    Hearing Elder Yan¡¯s reply, Princess Wan Ning¡¯s heart trembled profoundly.


    After Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape left, they sped towards the Eternal Burial Ground in the spaceship.<div>


    As Yang Xiaotian rushed to the Eternal Burial Ground, Liang Xuan, the Blood Demon Sect Master, and others returned to the great hall of the Corpse Demon Sect.


    Seated on the throne in the grand hall was the Undying Death God, surrounded by the preeminent Old Mo of the Corpse Demon Sect.


    Liang Xuan and the others prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to even breathe too heavily.


    ¡°The Heartfelt Demon Ape of Demon Ape Ridge?¡± The Corpse Demon frowned upon hearing Liang Xuan and the others¡¯ report.<div>


    ¡°Yes, it was the one from Demon Ape Ridge who spoiled our ns.¡± Liang Xuan hurriedly exined, ¡°He was following a youth in blue clothes.¡±


    ¡°A youth in blue!¡± The Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, Evil Buddha, Blood Demon, and a host of peerless demons eximed in unison, their faces changing, as though they had all been startled at the same time.


    Liang Xuan, the Blood Demon Sect Leader, and others saw the change in the Undying Death God¡¯s and Corpse Demon¡¯s expressions; all were astonished and could not understand why the mention of the blue-robed youth had suddenly frightened them so.


    ¡°Master Ancestor, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Liang Xuan asked the Corpse Demon with shock and caution.


    The Corpse Demon swallowed and said, ¡°That blue-robed youth, is he about fourteen or fifteen years old?¡±


    ¡°Yes, he looks about fourteen or fifteen,¡± Liang Xuan replied quickly, then described Yang Xiaotian¡¯s appearance in detail.


    Upon hearing Liang Xuan¡¯s description, the Undying Death God and Corpse Demon were certain the blue-robed youth Liang Xuan mentioned was the same one they knew.


    For a moment, an assembly of unrivaled demons fell silent.


    Even the Undying Death God sat there without a word.


    He had not expected to encounter that ursed youth wherever he went.


    The first time was in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, the second time at the Death Sword Tomb, and now Liang Xuan and the others were in the Sea of Stars.


    ¡°Are you saying that Princess Wan Ning addressed the youth as Junior Brother Yang?¡± After a long while, the Undying Death God finally asked.


    ¡°Yes, Lord Undying Death God,¡± Liang Xuan promptly answered. ¡°He must be a disciple of the Azure God Academy.¡±<div>


    ¡°A disciple of the Azure God Academy,¡± the Undying Death God murmured with uncertainty. ¡°Go and find out more.¡± Then he dismissed Liang Xuan and the others with a wave of his hand.


    Liang Xuan and the rest felt relieved as if pardoned, bowed deeply in gratitude, and then withdrew.


    ¡°Lord, the Eternal Heavenly Tomb is about to open. Should we still enter?¡± the Corpse Demon asked.


    The mood of the Undying Death God shifted between light and dark; he was determined to obtain that Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    But what if he encountered that youth again?N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Thinking of the ¡°Master Ding¡± the youth had mentioned, the Undying Death God¡¯s hands involuntarily tightened.


    That was an existence of supreme terror that had even in the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc.


    The more he thought about it, the more rmed and infuriated he became.


    ¡°Enter! Why not enter!¡± the Undying Death God eximed through gritted teeth, his eyes shing with a chilling ferocity. ¡°We must not only enter, but this time we must also find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin!¡±


    ¡°The Life God Tree, have you found out who took it?¡± he turned to ask the Corpse Demon and others.


    ¡°We have found out. It should also be that youth who took it,¡± the Evil Buddha spoke up.


    Hearing this, the Undying Death God¡¯s anger surged even more.


    It was that youth again!<div>


    Was this youth sent by the heavens specifically to oppose him?


    Suppressing his anger, he gradually calmed down. In that case, the Life God Tree was now with that youth.


    Thinking about that ¡°Master Ding,¡± he felt despair in his heart.


    Since the Life God Tree was with the youth, it was impossible to retrieve it from him.


    But without the Life God Tree, how could he possibly cultivate the Undying God Canon to its ultimate pinnacle in a brief period?


    ¡°The Star God Tree,¡± he muttered to himself.


    If he found the Star God Tree, there was still hope.


    However, in the world, only the Lord of the Azure God knew the exact location of the Star God Tree. The Lord of the Azure God had left a manual in the Azure God Mansion, and in that manual was written the precise location of the Star God Tree.


    It seemed he had to venture into the Azure God Mansion once again!


    ¡°Prepare yourselves, we will head to the Eternal Burial Ground tomorrow,¡± the Undying Death God said, refocusing his thoughts.

 Chapter 418: Ancient Blood Frog

    Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Ancient Blood Frog


    Yang Xiaotian was unaware that the Undying Death God, the Corpse Demon, and others were nning to enter the Eternal Burial Ground again; what he was pondering over was the matter of the Star God Tree.


    Now, he had to wait for the Sea of Stars to recede before searching for the Star God Tree again.


    However, if one did not know the exact location of the Star God Tree, looking for a single tree in the vast Sea of Stars was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.


    Yang Xiaotian asked the Demon Ape about the Star God Tree.


    The Demon Ape said, ¡°Only the Lord of Azure God knows the exact location of the Star God Tree.¡± He mused, ¡°It¡¯s said that the Lord of Azure God left behind a handwritten notebook, which detailed the locations of the Star God Tree and many treasures of the Martial Soul World.¡±


    ¡°However, that notebook is within the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    ¡°In the Azure God Mansion!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart was immediately filled with hope.


    ¡°Still, the notebook is sealed with the power of the Lord of Azure God; no one can open it,¡± the Demon Ape shook its head.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    No one could open it?


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ¡°Even Senior Azure Bear couldn¡¯t open it?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°He probably cannot,¡± the Demon Ape said, then shifted his tone, ¡°However, since you have received the inheritance of the Lord of Azure God, you should be able to open it.¡±


    ¡°Or, with Master Ding¡¯s power, he should be able to st it open.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Although he now possessed the Sword of Azure God and had cultivated the Azure God Sword Technique, he still couldn¡¯t be considered to have truly received the inheritance of the Lord of Azure God. Only upon merging with the Heart of Azure God would he truly possess the power and inheritance of the Lord of Azure God.


    However, now that the notebook was within the Azure God Mansion, he needed to hasten his cultivation, break through to the Great Emperor Realm, and ascend to be a disciple of the Azure God Mansion.


    The night was calm and peaceful.


    Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow of the flying ship, watching the swiftly retreating night.


    ¡°Old Ape, do you think other continents might also be like the Azure God Continent?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.


    The Demon Ape understood what Yang Xiaotian meant and said, ¡°Where there are people, there are rivers andkes; where there are people, there are disputes, bloodshed, injustice, and peerless demons like the Undying Death God.¡±


    ¡°Other continents might be even more chaotic than the Azure God Continent.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian asked, ¡°Have you ever been to the Myriad Swords Continent?¡±


    The headquarter of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was on the Myriad Swords Continent.


    He was quite curious about the Myriad Swords Continent.


    ¡°I have been there,¡± the Demon Ape reminisced, ¡°I only passed through Myriad Swords Continent. There are countless Sword Dao experts there, and Sword Dao sects are everywhere. In that ce, almost everyone practices swordsmanship and sword cultivation; it¡¯s the continent with the most Sword Dao sects in the Martial Soul World.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Swords Continent is also one of the most powerful continents in the Martial Soul World.¡±


    The Demon Ape shared all that he knew with Yang Xiaotian.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued toprehend the Divine Shadow Sword Path on the flying ship.


    During this time, he had almost fully grasped the essence of the Divine Shadow Sword.


    He was just one step away from fullyprehending the Divine Shadow Sword Path.


    Time passed.


    When they arrived at the Eternal Burial Ground, Yang Xiaotian had finally fullyprehended the Divine Shadow Sword Path.


    Still, even though he hadprehended the Divine Shadow Sword Path, he could not manifest the fifteenth Sword Heart.


    The difficulty of manifesting the fifteenth Sword Heart was far greater than Yang Xiaotian had imagined.


    Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t get discouraged; he believed that as long as he could find more Divine Swords andprehend more of the Sword Dao, he would be able to manifest the fifteenth Sword Heart.


    Upon arriving at the Eternal Burial Ground, what surprised Yang Xiaotian was the thronging crowd of people.


    Last time the Eternal Heavenly Tomb opened, there were hardly any people to be seen apart from the Undying Death God, and only the Fan Family and Yin Wind Sect¡¯s experts arrived. But this time, there were more than hundreds of thousands of people!


    A nce revealed a sea of people.


    Last time, only the tomb and the dead things could be seen.


    Now, there were more people than tombs and dead things.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yang Xiaotian wondered.


    With the Eternal Heavenly Tomb opening, an extraordinary number of people had poured in. This was abnormal; although the tomb¡¯s opening usually attracted quite a number of people, it was generally only a few thousand, at most ten thousand.


    It couldn¡¯t possibly be this many.


    ¡°Let¡¯s find someone to ask,¡± Yang Xiaotian suggested.


    The Demon Ape simply extended a palm, captured an expert of the Saint Realm from afar, and then asked what was happening.


    Feeling the ferocious killing intent and divine presence of the Demon Ape, the Saint Realm expert dared not speak against him, and therefore revealed everything straightforwardly.


    It turned out that someone had spread news that this time the Eternal Heavenly Tomb was opening, an Ancient Blood Frog would appear, and this had drawn arge number of powerhouses toe.


    Not only had the high-level experts of the Hundred n Empiree, but high-level experts from the surrounding empires also rushed over upon hearing the news.


    With one day left until the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, high-level experts from the surrounding empires were still arriving.


    ¡°Ancient Blood Frog!¡± Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised.


    The Ancient Blood Frog was a kind of upper ancient Divine Medicine, particrly efficacious in replenishing vital energy and blood. A single Ancient Blood Frog might beparable to half a Life God Fruit.


    If he could get his hands on two Ancient Blood Frogs, he would be able to break through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints all at once.


    ¡°Who spread the news about the Ancient Blood Frog¡¯s appearance?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    The Saint Realm expert shook his head, indicating he didn¡¯t know and had also heard it from others.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t trouble him further and let him go.


    The Saint Realm expert fled in panic.


    ¡°The appearance of the Ancient Blood Frog.¡± The Demon Ape eximed with surprise, ¡°I wonder if it¡¯s true or false. If it¡¯s true, then how did this persone to know of it?¡±


    If it was false, then what was the purpose of spreading such news?


    ¡°Regardless of the truth of the news, let¡¯s first find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin!¡± Yang Xiaotian said gravely.


    The main purpose of their journey was the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    If the Ancient Blood Frog truly appeared and they could get it, that would be even better.


    The two flew towards the location of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb and soon arrived again in front of the shining golden Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    In front of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb were now gathered strong figures from all directions.


    ¡°The Elf n is really in a dire state now. Ever since the Elf Queen and a group of strong backers were killed, the Elf n disciples are being captured and imprisoned; the men are reduced to hardbor, and the women have be ythings for various ns!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just the cycle of the world. When the Elf n was strong, they also randomly captured female disciples from other ns!¡±


    The high-level experts from the various ns whispered to each other.


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.


    Just then, suddenly, there wasmotion among the crowd.


    ¡°The Human Emperor has arrived.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that the Human Emperor is now attached to the Sky Demon n, heavily relied upon by the Sky Demon n Leader, even the Three-Eyed River n Leader is extremely courteous to him.¡±


    At a distance, a middle-aged man dressed in the Human Emperor¡¯s battle robes could be seen striding confidently forward, followed by arge group of Human Race powerhouses.


    To this Human Emperor, Yang Xiaotian had no interest in paying attention and stood with the Demon Ape, quietly waiting for the opening of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    A day passed.


    The Eternal Heavenly Tomb glowed golden as its gates slowly opened.


    Seeing the tomb open, experts from all sides rushed to enter the tomb. However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to enter, he was stopped by a high-level expert beside the Human Emperor. The expert berated him, ¡°Kid, which family of the Human Race do you belong to, daring so bold? The Human Emperor hasn¡¯t even entered yet, and you want to go in? Get lost!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian merely nced at the man. He activated the power of fourteen Sword Hearts, and in a sh, millions of Sword Qi merged with heaven and earth. The next moment, the Human Race expert was suddenly sted away by the millions of Sword Qi.

 Chapter 419 - 419 Searching for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin

    Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Searching for the Eternal Heavenly Coffin


    The imperial experts by the Human Emperor¡¯s side were astonished; none of them had expected the human expert to be suddenly sted away by myriad Sword Qi.


    Because they hadn¡¯t seen the human youth make a move.


    As they stood astonished, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape had already passed through the crowd and entered the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    ¡°Seeking death!¡± one of the experts by the Human Emperor¡¯s side was about to rush forward to drag Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape back.


    However, the Human Emperor stopped him with a hand, saying, ¡°Let it go, when theye out, check which family the youth is from. We¡¯ll enter the Heavenly Tomb first to search for the Blood Frog.¡±


    After saying this, he led arge group of the Human Race¡¯s experts into the Eternal Heavenly Tomb.


    Just as the crowd was entering the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, the Undying Death God and Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha, several unsurpassed great demons, also followed the throng into the Heavenly Tomb.


    At this moment, several of them had concealed their auraspletely, indistinguishable from any ordinary expert.


    Especially the Undying Death God, with no Undying Death Qi about him, none of the aura that marked an unsurpassed great demon.


    They quickly entered the Heavenly Tomb.


    The Undying Death God, looking at the various powerhouses who had flooded in, had eyes filled with a bloodthirsty, cruel light. He said to the Corpse Demon and the others, ¡°Find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin first.¡±


    ¡°After finding the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, we¡¯ll deal with these fresh blood meals.¡±


    To him, all the powerful figures entering the Heavenly Tomb were like food on the te.


    Thus, they flew towards me Mountain on the southern side of the Heavenly Tomb.


    However, as they passed by the Heavenly Dragon Hall, the Undying Death God led the group in a wide detour around it.


    This left the Corpse Demon and the others puzzled and scratching their heads.


    They didn¡¯t understand why the Undying Death God was so wary of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.


    Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Hall held terrors they were unaware of?


    As the Undying Death God and the others were flying towards the south and me Mountain, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape had also arrived at me Mountain.


    This past year, Yang Xiaotian, aside from cultivating, had also sought out many records concerning the ancient coffin.


    n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After reviewing numerous records about the ancient coffin, he had almost confirmed that the ancient coffin was indeed within me Mountain inside the Heavenly Tomb.


    Because there had been more than one sighting of surging deathly Qi and demonic Qi at me Mountain.


    The surging deathly Qi must have been emanating from the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, while the surging demonic Qi was likely released by the most powerful Ancient Ancestor of the Netherworld Demon Sect within the coffin.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion arrived once more at me Mountain.


    Last time, following the direction of the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian had alsoe to this part of me Mountain but found nothing.


    The mes of me Mountain zed into the sky before their eyes, and rolling waves of heat filled the entire Heaven and Earth. The high temperature made even the space itself seem twisted.


    Even standing outside of me Mountain was enough to make one¡¯s entire body overheat, as if all one¡¯s internal organs were being roasted.


    Ordinary Emperor Realm experts dared not approach me Mountain.


    Yang Xiaotian did not initiate any defenses and flew straight into me Mountain.


    Although the mes of me Mountain were fierce, they couldn¡¯t hurt him.


    Assuring himself that the Eternal Heavenly Coffin must be within this area of me Mountain, Yang Xiaotian searched very carefully, not missing any nook or cranny.


    However, after half an hour, the two had searched every corner of me Mountain and still found nothing.


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but look towards the base of me Mountain.


    Could it be beneath me Mountain?


    The Demon Ape also looked towards the base, since having searched all the corners of the mountain without sess; the only exnation seemed to be that the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was at its base.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go down and take a look,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, then activated the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts.


    Myriad Sword Qi formed a vortex of Sword Qi around him.


    As the Sword Qi vortex spun, it continuously sted open the ground.


    Step by step, Yang Xiaotian and hispanion reached the depths of me Mountain.


    After descending around a thousand meters, the two arrived in a world made entirely of me, a world created from countless mes.


    ¡°Samsara me!¡±


    ¡°Green Wood Azure me!¡±


    ¡°Infinite Star me!¡±


    ¡°Yin Yang Ghost me!¡±


    ¡­


    The various mes before Xiaotian¡¯s eyes dazzled him.


    Here, he had seen many rare mes.


    He even saw some Abnormal Fires!


    Some!


    Not just one or two.


    The Demon Ape was also astonished; it had just counted and there were no fewer than ten types of Abnormal Fires here.


    What did ten types of Abnormal Fires signify?


    You should know that it was difficult to find even one Abnormal Fire ordinarily.


    Just then, suddenly, endless mes bombarded Xiaotian and the Demon Ape.


    It was as if the arrival of these two outsiders, Xiaotian and the Demon Ape, had enraged these mes.


    Seeing the sky-high mes, the Demon Ape was startled.


    Xiaotian didn¡¯t even think; he immediately summoned the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    The Ziwei Divine Fire floated above Xiaotian, with the aura of three great heavenly fires surging, the mes spreading continuously, forming a Ziwei barrier around Xiaotian and the Demon Ape.


    The Ziwei Divine Fire, ranked seventh among Divine mes, truly lived up to its name. The originally violent sea of fire, upon sensing the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire, actually came to a halt.


    It was as if subjects had witnessed their supreme king; all mes dared not approach Xiaotian.


    Even the mightiest of Abnormal Fires did not dare to act rashly before the Ziwei Divine Fire.


    Seeing this, Xiaotian¡¯s heart rxed.


    He stepped forward unhurriedly.


    Under the suppressive power of the Ziwei Divine Fire, indeed, the mes retreated to the sides.


    Xiaotian walked confidently toward the center of the sea of mes.


    The Demon Ape followed closely by his side.


    But, there were simply too many mes in the sea of fire; even though the mes retreated, they only moved away a few dozen meters, so above and below were still mes, and Xiaotian and the Demon Ape could only see a few dozen meters around them with the naked eye.


    Moreover, Xiaotian discovered that there was a mysterious force here that could imprison Soul Power, making it impossible to use Soul Power at all.


    Therefore, the two could only search slowly.


    For an hour, the two searched every corner of this world of fire, yet still could not find a trace of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but wonder, was the Eternal Heavenly Coffin not in me Mountain?


    Just at that moment, the surface of the sea of mes in front suddenly copsed, and a surge of overwhelming Demonic Qi shot into the sky.


    The strength of the Demonic Qi was so formidable that even the Demon Ape was taken aback.


    ¡°What is this!¡± Xiaotian, on the other hand, was surprised and delighted, charging toward that area of the sea of mes.


    Upon reaching that area of the sea of mes, Xiaotian saw nothing amiss; besides the mes, there were still mes.


    But both Xiaotian and the Demon Ape had seen that surge of overwhelming Demonic Qi clearly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go down and take a look!¡± Xiaotian and the Demon Ape broke through the surface of the sea of mes and continued downward.


    Just as Xiaotian and the Demon Ape descended to the bottom of the sea of mes, the Undying Death God and the Corpse Demon, after searching throughout me Mountain, also came to the bottom.


    Not long after Xiaotian and the Demon Ape had entered the bottom of the sea of mes, the Undying Death God and the Corpse Demon arrived in this world of fire.


    As the Undying Death God and others arrived, the sky-high mes also engulfed them.


    Watching the engulfing sky-high mes, the Undying Death God snorted coldly. Countless Undying Death Qi surged heavenward, blowing all the mes away.


    The sea of mes roared and churned tumultuously.


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Coffin must be here, everyone, search carefully!¡± the Undying Death God said, and then split up with the Corpse Demon and the others to search.

 Chapter 420: 420: The Undying Death God is Afraid

    Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Undying Death God is Afraid


    The Undying Death God sted the towering mes with billions of Undying Death Qi, and the terrifying fluctuations of power were even felt by Yang Xiaotian and hispanion.


    ¡°Someone hase to the Fire World!¡± the Demon Ape eximed in shock and suspicion.


    ¡°We must find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin first!¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    The most urgent task at hand was to find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Yang Xiaotian had a premonition that the neer might be the Undying Death God.


    If that was the case, he had to be even quicker.


    He had to find the Eternal Heavenly Coffin before the Undying Death God did.


    If the Undying Death God found the Eternal Heavenly Coffin first, even with Master Ding on his side, it would be difficult to snatch the coffin back from the opponent¡¯s hands.


    After all, if the opponent found the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, even if unable to withstand the invincible assault of Master Ding, he could escape with the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    If the Undying Death God wanted to flee, not even Master Ding could prevent it.<div>


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian hastened his pace, descending further below.


    He fully activated the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire, protecting his body.


    Outside the barrier of the Ziwei Divine Fire, the rolling mes resembled bubbling magma, truly a shocking sight. If not for the protection of the Divine me, even the Demon Ape would find it difficult to descend to the bottom of the sea of fire.


    To speed up, Yang Xiaotian simply called upon both the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire.


    All three Divine mes were now at full power.


    Under the might of the three Divine mes, the resistance of the sea of fire reduced significantly.


    Still, the deeper they went, the stronger the sea of fire became. Endless mes surged from the depths of the earth, and even with the protection of the three Divine mes, the speed of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s descent gradually slowed down.


    About half an hourter, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian felt the ground give way beneath him, and he arrived at the bottom of the sea of fire.


    Below, was a Spirit Vein like a Fire Dragon!


    This Fire System Vein, measuring over a thousand meters in length, was rich with spiritual energy. Yang Xiaotian and hispanion felt as if they were in a sea of spiritual energy.


    At the bottom of this sea of fire, there actually was a Fire System Spirit Vein! And it was a superior grade one, just like the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein he had obtained at ck Snow Mountain, of superior grade as well.


    However, what truly captured Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attention was the enormous ck coffin hovering above the Fire System Spirit Vein.


    The ck coffin, hovering above the Fire System Spirit Vein, continuously swallowed the fire¡¯s spiritual energy from the vein, and paradoxically, the coffin itself emitted a cold, dark light.


    Looking at the ck coffin before him, Yang Xiaotian was filled with joy; the coffin was undoubtedly the Eternal Heavenly Coffin!


    After much hardship, he and the Demon Ape finally found the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Who would have thought that one of the most sinister and terrifying ancient divine artifacts of the Azure God Continent, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, would be at the very bottom of this sea of fire.


    The Eternal Heavenly Coffin was enormous, evenrger than Yang Xiaotian had imagined, hundreds of meters in length and a hundred meters tall, suspended there like a great mountain.


    Just the sheer size of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin alone imposed a powerful sense of oppression.


    Yang Xiaotian flew up to the front of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, but just as he reached out his hand, before even touching the coffin, a terrifying surge of ck icy Qi burst out from within, instantly covering his palm in ck frost.<div>


    At the same time, a shocking evil force poured into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body along his palm, incessantly devouring his life force and vitality.


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly rmed.


    The Eternal Heavenly Coffin was indeed terrifying.


    He had only brought his hand close to it, and before even touching the coffin, his palm was engulfed by the ck icy Qi, and in the blink of an eye, his entire arm lost all sensation.<div>


    Not daring to be careless, Yang Xiaotian urged the three Divine mes into action.


    Under the power of the three Divine mes, his whole body surged with firelight, and wisps of ck ice qi finally began to drift out of his body continuously.


    However, that astonishing evil force clung to his body like a parasite to bone, impossible topletely expel.


    This evil force was the fundamental power of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin; if it were an ordinary Venerable, they would have been possessed by the evil force in an instant, losing their mind and turning into an evil demon.


    The power of the three Divine mes could only suppress, but not eliminate, the essence of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    In fact, it was mainly because Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current strength was too weak to unleash the true might of the three Divine mes; otherwise, with their power, they could indeed eradicate this evil force.


    ¡°Let me do it!¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice rang out.


    At once, an overwhelming and invincible force emerged.


    The evil force that had been entrenched within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was finally sted away.


    Even so, the evil force was notpletely dispersed but retreated back into the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Seeing the Eternal Heavenly Coffin so malevolent, Demon Ape too was taken aback.


    ¡°Master Ding, is there a way to tame the Eternal Heavenly Coffin?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Yes, if there were a few hundred vats of Tribtion Thunder Water, I guarantee it would submit obediently,¡± Master Ding said with augh.<div>


    ¡°If there were tens of thousands of vats of Tribtion Thunder Water, would you be able to st it apart?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked sardonically.


    Master Dingughed, ¡°Tens of thousands of vats are not necessary.¡± Then he added, ¡°However, although I can¡¯t tame it now, I can still take it away.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Saying this, it moved above the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, increased in size by a thousandfold, and its mouth emitted a strong suction force, pulling the Eternal Heavenly Coffin into the cauldron.


    Relieved at the sight, Yang Xiaotian thought that as long as the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was taken away, taming and refining it could wait for another day.


    Then, he also hefted up the Fire System Vein and tossed it into the cauldron.


    This Fire System Vein naturally couldn¡¯t be a windfall for the Undying Death God.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, suddenly, the sea of fire shook violently, and several figures dropped from the sky, namely the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, and theirrades.


    The moment the Undying Death God and the othersid eyes on Yang Xiaotian, their expressions drastically changed.


    In the eyes of ordinary martial artists, they were terrifying demons, but to them, Yang Xiaotian was the terrifying young demon.


    With a grim look, the Undying Death God nced at the spot from where the Fire System Vein had been removed; although the vein was gone, the ground still bore its imprints.


    And the air still carried the astonishing presence of the Fire System Spiritual Energy.


    Even though the Eternal Heavenly Coffin had been taken, the air still contained a strong scent of evil and dark cold qi.


    Undoubtedly, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin had been seized by Yang Xiaotian before anyone else could get to it.<div>


    And with it, a top-grade Fire System Vein or better!


    The Undying Death God looked sullen as he stared at Yang Xiaotian, feeling a mixture of shock, rage, and frustration. Could this young man with the surname Yang truly be his nemesis?


    ¡°Brother Yang, I presume.¡± The Undying Death God tried to suppress the shock and rage in his heart. He spoke with forced calm, ¡°You took the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, didn¡¯t you? And a Fire System Vein as well. How about this: the Eternal Heavenly Coffin for me, and the Fire System Vein for you. What do you say?¡±


    He spoke to Yang Xiaotian as if he was negotiating, something the Undying Death God, having lived countless ages, was likely doing for the first time.


    No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden cauldron appeared beside Yang Xiaotian, and it was Master Ding!


    Seeing Master Ding emerge, the Undying Death God, along with the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and the Evil Buddha, all jumped in shock and quickly distanced themselves. They had been frightened by Master Ding¡¯s power sts.


    Even though the Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha hadn¡¯t been sted themselves, they were still scared.


    Very scared.

    Chapter 421: Chapter 421 The Undying Death God was Stolen


    However, this time Master Ding did notunch an attack.


    Master Ding just quietly stayed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, quietly watching the Undying Death God and hispanions.


    ¡°You said just now that the Eternal Heavenly Coffin goes to you, and the Fire System Spirit Vein goes to me?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked quietly as he watched the Undying Death God.


    The Undying Death God hesitated, unsure of how to respond.


    The appearance of Master Ding was like a thorn in his back.


    He didn¡¯t know how to answer for the moment.


    If it were someone else, he wouldn¡¯t be discussing who gets what in such a negotiating tone; he would simply start killing.


    But now, he, the Ancient Immortal Death God feared by everyone, suddenly didn¡¯t know how to respond.


    If he said yes, he feared that what would greet him would be an invincible strike from Master Ding.


    If he said he didn¡¯t need the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, wouldn¡¯t that be against his conscience?<div>


    ¡°Brother Yang, I have many treasures here, and they are all relics from the ancient times that have disappeared. Just give me the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, and all these treasures will be yours,¡± the Undying Death God took a deep breath and said, then took out one dazzling, divinely radiant treasure after another.


    Seeing the treasures the Undying Death God took out one after another, Demon Ape was incredibly shocked.


    Just as the Undying Death God had said, these were all relics that had vanished in ancient times, and each one was extraordinary, enough to cause a stir even in ancient times.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the seven treasuresid out in front of the Undying Death God and was also astonished. With his knowledge, out of these seven treasures, he recognized only one.


    That one was the Samsara Divine Sword.


    The Samsara Divine Sword was the personal sword of the Ancient Samsara Sword God.


    During the ancient times, the Ancient Sword God was illustriously renowned throughout the Azure God Continent, with strength that nearly rivaled that of the Lord of Azure God of that era.


    Although the Samsara Divine Sword was not listed in the Divine Sword Ranking, its power was not inferior to that of the Eternal Night Sword.


    He was now trying to condense the fifteenth Invincible Sword Heart, and what hecked was a Divine Sword.


    If he could obtain this Samsara Divine Sword and thoroughlyprehend the Samsara Sword Path, he might be able to condense the fifteenth Invincible Sword Heart.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes burned with passion.


    Seeing the passion in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes, the Undying Death God knew that Yang Xiaotian was tempted, which delighted him. It was good that Yang Xiaotian was tempted; he was afraid that Yang Xiaotian would not be.


    ¡°How about it, Brother Yang?¡± the Undying Death God asked with a smile brimming with meaning.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the Undying Death God and smiled in kind, ¡°These seven treasures of yours are indeed fine. I¡¯ll take them all.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Undying Death Godughed heartily, ¡°Good, very straightforward!¡± He then extended his hand, ¡°Then Brother Yang, please give me the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.¡±


    ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Coffin, did I say I would give it to you?¡± Yang Xiaotian suddenly said.


    The Undying Death God was taken aback.


    Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha were also taken aback.


    What does that mean?<div>


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t want to give the Eternal Heavenly Coffin but wanted the Undying Death God¡¯s seven treasures?


    The Undying Death God¡¯s eyes instantly shed with cold fury as he pointed at Yang Xiaotian angrily, ¡°Young man, you!¡±


    However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian bellowed, ¡°Master Ding!¡±<div>


    In an instant, Master Ding swelled by a billion times.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    He burst the entire bottom of the sea of fire.


    The sea of fire above was forced to fly up.


    Watching Master Ding swell by a billion times, blocking out the sun and sky, the Undying Death God and Corpse Demon changed their expressions dramatically.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± The Undying Death God roared, while his body was covered in a set of Death Armor, and his hand held a Death Greatsword a million zhang in length.


    This greatsword was condensed from his own Undying Death Qi.


    It was the umtion of all the Undying Death Qi he could muster.


    When Master Dingunched his attack, he fiercely shed his greatsword towards Master Ding.


    As he swung his Death Greatsword, the Undying Death Qi howled wildly, causing the entire sea of mes to boil over. The boundless death qi even burst through the sea of mes, shattering me Mountain.


    Many powerhouses who had just arrived around me Mountain witnessed the Undying Death Qi exploding from the depths of the earth.


    Boom!


    Immediately after, an earth-shattering roar came from the depths beneath me Mountain.


    With the earth-shattering roar, everyone saw one me Mountain after another explode, endless magma erupting, the sky andnd filled with molten rock.<div>


    The ground continuously burst open.


    Destructive forces swept across every corner of me Mountain and even sted beyond its outskirts.


    All the experts were terrified into frantic escape.


    One powerhouse after another was hit by the spewing magma or by this destructive force, either being sted away or instantly exploding, adding much bloody fertilizer to me Mountain.


    In the underground space, the Death Greatsword of the Undying Death God shed upon Master Ding¡¯s cauldron body.


    Light burst forth.


    But it was useless; the Death Greatsword was directly scattered, and Master Ding, undiminished in speed, continued hurtling toward the Undying Death God.


    Witnessing Master Ding falling like a meteor amplified by a thousand-fold speed, the Undying Death God, the Corpse Demon, and the others all had ashen faces.


    The Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and Evil Buddhaunched attacks that almost simultaneously struck Master Ding, but to no avail. Their attacks seemed to hit the walls of the heavenly realm,pletely unshakeable.


    Rumble!


    Master Ding crashed down.


    The ground exploded open.


    The earth shook and mountains swayed.<div>


    This strike seemed as if it would even prate the earth¡¯s depths.


    The Undying Death God, the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha were all sted away.


    The Death Armor the Undying Death God had just donned was once again shattered to pieces.


    The armors of the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha were torn to shreds, the individuals looking like beggars as if they had just returned from a bloodbath on the Ancient Demon Battlefield.


    ¡°Go!¡± The Undying Death God dared not linger any longer and, along with the Corpse Demon and the Blood Demon, broke through theyers of the sea of mes and soared into the sky.


    As for the Samsara Divine Sword, he didn¡¯t even want it anymore.


    In fact, even if he wanted it, there was no time to retrieve it.


    Watching the Undying Death God and the others flee in a panic, the Demon Ape didn¡¯t know what to say.


    That was the Undying Death God, the being that had filled the entire Azure God Continent with endless fear, and their young master had actually robbed the Undying Death God.


    He had never thought that someone would dare to rob the Undying Death God.


    Yang Xiaotian, however, was calcting his gains and losses, trading a gulp of nineyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for the seven treasures of the Samsara Divine Sword. This deal should be profitable, right?


    He didn¡¯t pursue the fleeing Undying Death God and the others but began searching for the scattered Samsara Divine Sword.


    The Undying Death God, the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha escaped from below the ground, appearing above me Mountain, all spitting out arge mouthful of blood in unison.<div>


    The Corpse Demon looked at the depths below in horror, dreading that Master Ding would chase up from beneath the ground.


    Last time, in the Death Sword Tomb, he had seen the Son of Nether God, Yan Ping, get blown up, but this was their first real experience of Master Ding¡¯s iparable and horrific power.


    Having escaped, the Undying Death God and his party dared not stop; they fled again, flying away, and only after a long while did they stop.


    Once they stopped, the Undying Death God roared furiously into the sky, venting the raging anger and murderous intent within.


    He had actually been robbed!


    Robbed by that Yang guy!


    Thinking of the Samsara Divine Sword that got imed, the Undying Death God went mad, hammering the peaks ahead, sting mountain after mountain into the sky.


    ¡°Yang, I¡¯ll make you pay the price!¡±


    ¡°I will kill everyone by your side and turn them all into my Undying Wraiths!¡±


    (I¡¯ve been updating with three chapters a day recently, aiming to breach a million words before June 30th. Thanks to the brothers who vote daily.)

 Chapter 422: 422: The Emergence of the Ancient Blood Frog

    Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Emergence of the Ancient Blood Frog


    The Undying Death God¡¯s roaring voice thundered on and on within the Heavenly Tomb, causing all the mighty beings who heard it to tremble with cold.


    ¡°We shall seek out the Ancient Blood Frog!¡± After a long while, the Undying Death God suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said.


    The Evil Buddha hesitated before saying, ¡°What if that kid is also looking for the Ancient Blood Frog?¡±


    The Undying Death God¡¯s face twitched.


    It wasn¡¯t impossible.


    The mighty beings pouring into the Heavenly Tomb were almost all there for the Ancient Blood Frog.


    They had just been struck by the indomitable Master Ding, and their organs and bones were almost shattered.


    If they encountered a Yang again, and were bombarded by Master Ding once more, they would surely break.


    ¡°This time, we must find the Ancient Blood Frog before he does!¡± the Undying Death God said grimly. ¡°We cannot let him get there first again!¡±


    The thought of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin being snatched away by Yang Xiaotian first filled him with uncontroble rage.<div>


    ¡°Once we find the Ancient Blood Frog, we will leave!¡±


    ¡°When I get out, I will ughter everyone around that kid!¡±


    The Undying Death God took arge handful of healing elixirs.


    A few figures broke through the air and left.


    Within the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, there was a ce called the Blood Abyss.


    If there was an Ancient Blood Frog to be born, then the Blood Abyss was the only likely ce for it to emerge.


    Thus, the few of them sped towards the Blood Abyss.


    After the Undying Death God and the Corpse Demon had fled, Xiaotian, after some searching, finally found the Samsara Divine Sword among other seven treasures.


    Looking at the seven treasures before him, Xiaotian had Master Ding directly erase the Soul Imprints left by the Undying Death God on them.


    As the Soul Imprints were erased, the far-escaped Undying Death God spat out blood once again.


    After erasing the Soul Imprints, Xiaotian used the Blood Refining Skill to nt his own Soul Imprints on the treasures and then rudimentarily refined the Samsara Divine Sword.


    Xiaotian finally left the space beneath me Mountain with the Demon Ape and Master Ding.


    When they emerged from the space beneath me Mountain, the Undying Death God and hispanions were already gone without a trace.


    The Demon Ape pondered and said, ¡°The Undying Death God and the others may have already gone to the Blood Abyss.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re heading to the Blood Abyss!¡± Xiaotian rose through the air without hesitation, flying towards the Blood Abyss with the Demon Ape.


    On the way, Xiaotian asked the Demon Ape and Master Ding if there was another way to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    The Demon Ape thought for a moment and said, ¡°The Eternal Heavenly Coffin is the treasure of the ancient Netherworld Demon Sect; the Yin Wind Sect of the Buddha Pagoda Empire was founded by an elder of that sect, so the Yin Wind Sect might know the method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.¡±


    Yin Wind Sect, huh?


    Xiaotian nodded.<div>


    ¡°Perhaps, the Undying Death God also knows the method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin,¡± the Demon Ape said.


    After all, the Undying Death God was a deity from ancient times.


    Moreover, since he sought the Eternal Heavenly Coffin time and again, he should know the method to refine it.


    Xiaotian shook his head.<div>


    The Undying Death God was now craving his flesh and blood; how could he possibly reveal the method of refining the Eternal Heavenly Coffin to him?


    Therefore, they still had to make a trip to the Yin Wind Sect.


    As Xiaotian and the Demon Ape rushed towards the Blood Abyss, the area around the Blood Abyss had already been surrounded by mighty beings from all sides.


    Below the Blood Abyss was the surging Blood Sea, a sea as red as blood, with unpredictable movements within the ocean, while on the shores of the Blood Abyss, mighty beings from all corners stood and waited, expecting the Ancient Blood Frog to emerge.


    Yet, no one dared to get too close to the Blood Abyss.


    Even less dared to enter the Blood Abyss.


    Because within the Blood Abyss, there were not only Ancient Blood Frogs, but also many ancient and unparalleled Fierce Beasts.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    There had been a Divine Spirit Realm expert who, relying on his strength, wanted to venture into the Blood Abyss seeking the Ancient Nine Dragons Blood Ganoderma, but in the end, he was devoured by the peerless Fierce Beasts within the abyss, not even his bones remained.


    Therefore, everyone only dared to stand on the shore of the Blood Abyss, waiting.


    It was strange, the peerless Fierce Beasts in the depths of the Blood Abyss could only move within the deep abyss, and dared not leave the Blood Abyss.


    Rumor had it that once these peerless Fierce Beasts left the Blood Abyss, they would turn into a pool of blood.


    The Human Emperor and a multitude of the Human Race¡¯s powerful beings also stood guard on the shore.


    Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating, suddenly, the blood sea within the Blood Abyss churned tumultuously, and upon seeing the usually stagnant blood sea suddenly roiling, everyone¡¯s spirits were electrified.<div>


    ¡°The Blood Sea is restless, perhaps the Ancient Blood Frog really is emerging!¡± eximed a master from the Three-Eyed River n, overjoyed.


    Hearing about the Ancient Blood Frog, everyone stared fixedly at the blood sea of the Blood Abyss, afraid to miss their chance.


    Because the emergence of the Ancient Blood Frog was a momentary affair; once the Ancient Blood Frog leapt out of the surface of the blood sea, it would return to the Blood Abyss in a single breath. If they missed this moment, the Ancient Blood Frog might note out again.


    Under the tense gaze of everyone, the surging of the Blood Abyss¡¯s blood sea grew even more violent.


    Within the blood sea, streaks of golden bloodlight suddenly appeared on the surface.


    Seeing the golden bloodlight, the crowd was even more excited.


    Because this was the sign of the Ancient Blood Frog¡¯s emergence.


    Indeed.


    Not long after the appearance of the golden bloodlight, suddenly, a creature the size of two fists, resembling a frog, leaped out from the bottom of the blood sea.


    This creature was entirely blood-red in color, but there was not the slightest smell of blood; on the contrary, there was an aroma simr to that of an Elixir.


    This was indeed the Ancient Blood Frog.


    An ancient treasure that enhanced qi and blood.


    When the Ancient Blood Frog leaped out of the blood sea, the surging blood essence delighted everyone.<div>


    ¡°The Ancient Blood Frog!¡±


    Strong individuals from various ns took action one after another, attempting to capture the Ancient Blood Frog.


    Just as the crowd made their move, suddenly, a loud shout: ¡°All of you, get away from this Death God!¡± akin to thunder, caused the blood sea to resound with a colossal roar.


    In everyone¡¯s astonishment, countless Undying Death Qi transformed into a towering sea, thunderously crashing in, directly sting the powerful individuals from various ns who were poised to seize the treasure into the Blood Abyss.


    A chorus of screams ensued.


    After sting the various strong individuals into the blood sea, the Undying Death Qi swirled and swept up the Ancient Blood Frog.


    Several figures appeared on the shore of the Blood Abyss.


    They were none other than the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha.


    ¡°The Undying Death God!¡± Seeing the several individuals, the strong individuals from various ns cried out in shock, their faces changing drastically.


    At that moment, the Ancient Blood Frog, which had been wrapped up in the Undying Death Qi,nded in the hands of the Undying Death God.


    Grasping the Ancient Blood Frog in his hand, the Undying Death Godughed heartily: ¡°Indeed, it is an Ancient Blood Frog!¡±


    ¡°Great! With this Ancient Blood Frog, our qi and blood will soon recover,¡± he eximed.


    The Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha were also delighted.<div>


    Just then, suddenly, the golden bloodlight on the surface of the blood sea shone again, and this time it was even more intense. In the eyes of the onlookers, an evenrger Ancient Blood Frog leapt out from the bottom of the blood sea.


    This Ancient Blood Frog was as big as four fists, its body¡¯s blood energy boiling incessantly, with bloodlight soaring to the sky.


    Seeing this, the Undying Death God¡¯s eyes lit up, ecstatically he stretched out his hand, transforming Undying Death Qi into a palm, aiming to capture that Ancient Blood Frog.


    Roar!


    Suddenly, a massive blood python burst through the blood sea, and amidst its howling, it opened its gaping maw, aiming to devour the Undying Death God on the shore.


    This blood python had two heads, exuding terrifying ferocity; just its upper body emerging out of the blood sea was thousands of feet long, and its presence was so formidable that it caused many Divine Spirit Realm experts on scene to turn pale with shock.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Double-Headed Blood Spirit Python!¡±

 Chapter 423: 423: Meeting the Child of Terror

    Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Meeting the Child of Terror


    Double-Headed Blood Spirit Python!


    A fierce beast of unparalleled ancient myth.


    And it was an exceedingly difficult creature to kill, utterly terrifying.


    The Double-Headed Blood Spirit Python had extraordinarily strong defenses, with a body that was incredibly slick; attacks would slide off almostpletely, and this type of Blood Spirit Python had an incredibly strong life force; even if its body was severed into many pieces, it could still heal and regenerate automatically.


    Watching the Double-Headed Blood Spirit Python open its gaping maw to attack, the Undying Death God appeared unperturbed. With a breath, countless Undying Death Qi howled forth, transforming into millions of Undying Wraiths.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Undying Wraiths bombarded the Double-Headed Blood Spirit Python.


    Boom!


    The Blood Spirit Python was sted away.


    The one with exceptional defensive abilities and an unrivaled slippery body was blown into countless pieces.


    Just when everyone was shocked, the pieces of the Blood Spirit Python began healing and joining back together. Just as the Blood Spirit Python was about to be fully regenerated, suddenly, millions of Undying Wraiths turned into Death Qi and seeped into the Blood Spirit Python¡¯s body together with its blood energy.<div>


    The Blood Spirit Python roared in fury and struggled, attempting to expel the Undying Death Qi from its body, but it was in vain. The Undying Death Qi on its body grew denser and atst, itpletely turned into an Undying Wraith.


    Seeing the towering ferocity of the Double-Headed Blood Spirit Python subdued by the Undying Death God into an Undying Wraith in the blink of an eye, those who had initially harbored a glimmer of hope were startled into retreat, ready to flee.


    As the Undying Death God captured a second Ancient Blood Frog in his grip, he looked at the retreating crowd and sneered, ¡°What¡¯s this, you¡¯re thinking of running? Do you think you can get away?¡±


    ¡°You might as well obediently be my Undying Wraiths!¡±


    Just as he said this, nning to unleash the Undying Death Qi to devour everyone present.


    But just as the Undying Death God was about to make his move, suddenly, he froze in ce, hisplexion drastically changing.


    In the distance, a young man was seen arriving across the sky.


    The youth was none other than Yang Xiaotian.


    The Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and the Evil Buddha were shocked upon spotting Yang Xiaotian, their faces turning pale with fear.


    How has this Yang fellow arrived so quickly? They had traveled to the Blood Abyss at full speed, and in just a short while, Yang Xiaotian had already caught up.


    ¡°Go!¡± bellowed the Undying Death God, then he burst into the air and vanished from everyone¡¯s sight in the blink of an eye.


    The Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and the Evil Buddha also vanished into thin air.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, no matter how reluctant they felt, they had no choice but to withdraw.


    Everyone watched in astonishment as the Undying Death God and the others suddenly changed their expressions and fled in panic.


    They couldn¡¯t understand what had just happened.


    The Undying Death God was just about to consume everyone and turn them into Undying Wraiths; why did he suddenly run away?


    Many people¡¯s eyes swiftly turned toward Yang Xiaotian, who was approaching through the sky, their faces filled with shocked incredulity. Had the Undying Death God been afraid of this young man just now? But how was that possible!


    How could an ancient deity be afraid of a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old youth?


    Many people couldn¡¯t help but look at the Demon Ape behind Yang Xiaotian, their minds fraught with uncertainty.<div>


    Amid everyone¡¯s bewildered gazes, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape arrived at the scene.


    ¡°It¡¯s this kid!¡± the Human Emperor and the experts beside him recognized Yang Xiaotian.


    The Human Emperor looked at Yang Xiaotian, equally puzzled.


    He could tell that the Undying Death God had fled because of this young man¡¯s arrival.<div>


    But he was just as baffled as to why the Undying Death God would fear a youth.


    Yang Xiaotian paid no heed to the crowd, his gaze settling on the Blood Abyss.


    At that moment, within the Blood Abyss, the Blood Sea began to emit golden blood light once more, and this time the golden light was much more intense than the previous two.


    ¡°`


    Upon seeing such intense golden blood light, everyone¡¯s gaze was scorching.


    Undoubtedly, the Ancient Blood Frog about to emerge was even bigger than the previous two!


    Under the fervent gazes of all, an Ancient Blood Frog the size of more than a dozen fists leaped out.


    At its sight, people began to reach out to snatch it once again.


    Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar erupted, and the Demon Ape reverted to its true form in an instant, its demonic might overwhelming. With a single palm strike, it sent the surrounding crowd flying and then, with a backward sweep of its hand, captured the Ancient Blood Frog.


    ¡°Heartfelt Demon Ape!¡±


    Seeing the Demon Ape revert to its true form, all the powerhouses on the scene were shocked, their expressions changing.


    The Human Emperor and the Human Race powerhouses behind him were particrly startled, gasping in shock.


    This burly man beside the young man was actually the Heartfelt Demon Ape!<div>


    From Demon Ape Ridge?


    Then who was this young man?


    ¡°He is the Child of Terror! He is the Child of Terror!¡± Suddenly, someone looked at Yang Xiaotian with shock, jumping and waving his hands excitedly.


    ¡°The Child of Terror! It¡¯s the Child of Terror!¡± At the scene, many masters of the Hundred n Empire watched Yang Xiaotian, their words tripping over each other.


    During the battle in Sky Demon City, the Elf Queen Xi Yuandong and Xi Mo, along with several Divine Spirit Powerhouses, were forced to flee by the Heartfelt Demon Ape. Since that battle, everyone in the Hundred n Empire knew that the Child of Terror was apanied by that being from Demon Ape Ridge!


    Since the battle in Sky Demon City, the name of the Child of Terror had spread throughout the Hundred n Empire.


    Who in the Hundred n Empire did not know the name of Child of Terror now, who was not aware of it?


    The disciples of various ns in the Hundred n Empire admired Yang Xiaotian to the point of blind worship.


    Therefore, knowing that the young man before them was the Child of Terror, many disciples from different ns were extremely excited, and even some higher-ups of the Hundred n bowed deeply to Yang Xiaotian, saying, ¡°We have seen the Child of Terror!¡±


    The Human Race powerhouses were in shock as they watched Yang Xiaotian.


    Especially the Human Race powerhouse who had stopped Yang Xiaotian at the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb; he was so frightened that he went limp.


    Yang Xiaotian, observing the excited crowd, was quite surprised and then nodded to them, sping his fists in greeting.


    However, after the appearance of the third Ancient Blood Frog, no more emerged. After waiting for a long while, Yang Xiaotian confirmed that no additional Ancient Blood Frogs were going to appear and left the Blood Abyss with the Demon Ape.<div>


    Originally, he had intended for Master Ding to lead him deeper into the Blood Abyss, but Master Ding said that one bottle of Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water would only allow him to stay there for one minute, so Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to give up on the idea.


    Now, he had less and less of the Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water left on him, and he needed to save it for dealing with the Undying Death God and the Corpse Demons.


    After leaving the Blood Abyss, there was still some time before the end of the Heavenly Tomb event, and Yang Xiaotian did not leave the Heavenly Tomb but continued to search for other treasures.


    Only when the Heavenly Tomb event ended did he finally leave the tomb. He then found a secluded spot to take out that Ancient Blood Frog, which was asrge as more than a dozen fists.


    A regr Ancient Blood Frog was equivalent to half a Life God Fruit, but this Ancient Blood Frog was not ordinary ¡ª ingesting it, the effects couldpare to three Life God Fruits!


    The Ancient Blood Frog melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and the potency of the Elixir was like a super tsunami, causing continuous roaring within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was constantly being expanded.


    As he refined the Ancient Blood Frog over and over, his vitality surged at a terrifying speed.


    Soon, it reached a range of thirty thousand li.


    And it continued to soar.


    When it reached a range of thirty thousand li, Yang Xiaotian stimted his vitality and True Yuan to bombard the three hundred and sixty-sixth acupoint, followed by the three hundred and sixty-seventh acupoint!


    One after another, the acupoints were filled and activated by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vitality and True Yuan.


    It was like one star after another being lit.<div>


    ¡°`

 Chapter 424: 424: Little Brother, Youre Back

    Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Little Brother, You¡¯re Back


    Soon, the 365 acupoints within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body were once again illuminated.


    The moment the 365 acupoints lit up, 365 golden light pirs once again soared into the sky, sting 365 enormous holes into the heavens.


    Rotating, the golden light pirs caused the Innate Formation Diagram to appear once again.


    Bits of golden rain fell from the holes in the heavens yet again.


    Heavenly Nectar appeared once again!


    Unfortunately, this time, none of the people from Azure God Academy saw it.


    Nobody on the Azure God Continent witnessed this miraculous spectacle either.


    Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on Uninhabited Peak, hungrily absorbing the golden Heavenly Nectar that descended.


    An unusual fragrance permeated the entire Uninhabited Peak.


    The Demon Ape, smelling the scent of the Heavenly Nectar, felt an indescribablefort throughout its body.<div>


    It was unable to absorb the Heavenly Nectar, but merely smelling its fragrance brought it considerable benefit.


    Even the Demon Ape, despite having experienced countless life-and-death battles, was still astounded by the sight before its eyes.


    Heavenly Nectar, a scene that existed only in ancient myths, was now something it could see with its own eyes, such incredible fortune.


    At the same time, it increasingly felt fortunate for having chosen to follow Yang Xiaotian.


    Just like thest time, a full day passed.


    Only then did the Heavenly Nectar cease falling.


    Yang Xiaotian still sat in meditation, continuing to refine the Ancient Blood Frog.


    A little over a month passed.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotianpletely cease his cultivation.


    Just as he had initially estimated, this Ancient Blood Frog wasparable to three Divine Fruits of Life; his vitality had increased to an astonishing level.


    And his cultivation had also made sessive breakthroughs, advancing from the sixth to the eighthyer of the Venerable Realm.


    Along with the 365 acupoints he had openedst time, he had now opened a total of 730 acupoints.


    A Venerable Realm powerhouse who can open 365 acupoints, achieving the number of the Grand Cirction, would already be a freak among freaks on the Azure God Continent.


    At the Azure God Academy, only disciples like the four swords and four beauties can open 365 acupoints.


    Yang Xiaotian now, however, had opened an entire 730 acupoints!


    This was absolutely unique to the Azure God Academy.


    Even Xie Buhui of the Evil Sword, who had reached the pinnacle of the tenthyer of the Venerable Realm, had so far only opened 399 acupoints.


    Not even 400.


    Having absorbed the Heavenly Nectar, Yang Xiaotian found his body to be even more robust, his internal organs brimming with endless vitality.<div>


    His originally immortal body now possessed an even more undying aura.


    Immortal and undying!


    This was the result of absorbing the Heavenly Nectar for the second time.


    Undoubtedly, his physical body had once again be several times stronger than before.<div>


    ¡°Congrattions, Young Master!¡± As Yang Xiaotian was assessing the state of his body, the Demon Ape excitedly stepped forward to congratte him.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile to the Demon Ape, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll leave here first.¡±


    Together, they soared into the sky.


    ¡°Young Master, are we returning to the Azure God Academy now?¡±


    ¡°No, to Celestial Burial Mountain!¡±


    The Demon Ape was taken aback. To Celestial Burial Mountain?


    ¡°The Celestial Burial Mountain at the Celestial Burial Academy?¡± it asked Yang Xiaotian.


    What was their master going to do at Celestial Burial Mountain?


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He had already condensed fourteen Sword Hearts and had long been able to open the third pce of the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    It was just that these days, he had always been dyed by matters.


    This time, on his way back, he would go and get the Hand of Azure God from the Azure God Cave Mansion.


    The Hand of Azure God was one of the pieces of the Azure God Suit, and its power was definitely very strong.<div>


    Thus, the two of them flew towards the Celestial Burial Academy in the Buddha Source Empire.


    On the way, Yang Xiaotian reformed the Samsara Divine Sword and began toprehend the Samsara Sword Dao.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was hurrying to the Celestial Burial Academy, the Undying Death God and Corpse Demon arrived at the Fan Family of the Great Brahma Empire.


    The Undying Death God, with his ash-colored eyes, stared at the endless Fan Family before him, revealing a vicious and bloodthirsty gleam.


    The Fan Family, having inherited for countless years, was one of the oldest families on the Azure God Continent, and naturally, they had many treasures.


    Of course, there would also be no shortage of top-quality elixirs and spiritual medicines.


    Perhaps they might have an ancient spiritual medicine like the Nine Dragons Blood Ganoderma.


    If they could obtain a few Nine Dragons Blood Ganoderma and a few ancient divine elixirs, their injuries could be fully healed, and their cultivation might even advance further.


    ¡°The Fan Family has an ancient divine elixir, refined by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God back in the day. I wonder if the Fan Family has used it,¡± the Corpse Demon, staring at the Fan Family, also showed a greedy and bloodthirsty light.


    ¡°Whether they¡¯ve used it or not, we¡¯ll know once we eliminate the Fan Family,¡± the Undying Death God sneered. As he spoke, his fists suddenly burst forth, and billions of Undying Wraiths flew out.


    The Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and the Evil Buddha attacked simultaneously.


    Instantly, an entanglement of corpses, a sea of blood, and sinister spirits covered the sky and blotted out the sun.


    Boom!<div>


    The Fan Family, inherited throughout countless years, saw pce after pce being sted into dust, swathes of Fan Family disciples turned into blood mist, and many of the Fan Family disciples didn¡¯t even know how they died.


    Soon, cries of ughter shook the heavens.


    Screams echoed through every corner of the Fan Family.


    The entire Great Brahma Empire was shaken.


    Unaware of the Fan Family matter, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Celestial Burial Academy as the day was dawning and the sun was rising, with all life vibrant and flourishing.


    The Celestial Burial Academy was still as bustling as before, with disciples registering in queues that stretched like long dragons from one mountaintop to another.


    Seeing the scene of disciples queuing to register, Xiaotian felt a sense of familiarity.


    More than two years had blinked by.


    The scenes from when he and Zuo Qiu first came to the Celestial Burial Academy seemed like they urred just yesterday.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to head towards the Celestial Burial Mountain, suddenly the crowd stirred as a devastatingly gorgeous woman with an incredibly stunning figure broke through the sky and arrived.


    This extraordinary beauty, none other than Mu Yunchun, who was born with the Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique.


    On seeing Mu Yunchun¡¯s arrival, the disciples queuing for registration showed fervent, admiring, and affectionate eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s Sister Mu Yunchun!¡±<div>


    Many disciples were visibly excited.


    For the disciples of the Celestial Burial Academy and the male disciples of various sects and tribes in the Buddha Source Empire, Mu Yunchun was absolutely the goddess in their hearts.


    In the midst of the disciples¡¯ worshipful and adoring gazes, Mu Yunchun flew towards this side.


    ¡°Brother, isn¡¯t she beautiful? Got you staring, huh?¡± At that moment, a disciple who hade to register asked Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°Wonder which man will be lucky enough to win Lady Mu¡¯s heart in the future.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian just smiled.


    At this moment, Mu Yunchun, flying in this direction, had a trace of worry sh across her brows. As she was about to head towards her Peach Blossom Peak, she suddenly spotted a pale blue figure in the crowd.


    On seeing that pale blue figure, Mu Yunchun was stunned, thinking she had seen wrong. She looked intently again, and then her face lit up with surprise and excitement.


    She rushed to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s front with the fastest speed she had ever used in her life.


    ¡°Little brother, you¡¯re back!¡± Mu Yunchun stood in front of Yang Xiaotian, still unable to believe her own eyes, fearing that it wasn¡¯t real. She excitedly and nervously grabbed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hands, ¡°It¡¯s really you, little brother, you¡¯re truly back!¡±


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s chest heaved with excitement.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The disciple standing next to Yang Xiaotian was stunned, unable to believe as he watched Mu Yunchun holding Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.

 Chapter 425: 425 Who Are You?

    Chapter 425: Chapter 425 Who Are You?


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s hands were tender, smooth, and silky soft, as if boneless.


    With her boneless hands holding his, Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯vee back.¡±


    Mu Yunchun, still excitedly gripping Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, had a face that seemed to be a mix of yful scolding, joy, grievance, and charm, ¡°Little brother has been gone for over two years. You never came back to see your sister, did you forget about me?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head and chuckled, ¡°No, I¡¯ve always remembered sister.¡±


    Hearing this, Mu Yunchun¡¯s heart felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey, her entire face blushing with delight, ¡°Little brother, you¡¯re going to stay for a while before you leave this time, right?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll stay for a few more days before leaving.¡±


    This time, his return was not only to retrieve the Hand of Azure God but also to visit the Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi and seek guidance on the Sword Dao from him. He wanted to refine his Sword Dao once more and see if he could condense the fifteenth Sword Heart.


    Therefore, he needed to stay for a while before departing.


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian would stay for some days before leaving, Mu Yunchun¡¯s pretty face beamed with happiness, coquettishly suggesting, ¡°Then little brother should stay at my Peach Blossom Peak.¡±


    When Mu Yunchun suggested that Yang Xiaotian should stay at Peach Blossom Peak, all the surrounding disciples swallowed hard.<div>


    Mu Yunchun was naturally endowed with the Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique. If one were to stay at Peach Blossom Peak, wouldn¡¯t their nights be blissfully pleasurable?


    All the disciples looked on with envy and jealousy toward Yang Xiaotian, nearly driven mad by their feelings.


    Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, thenughed, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll stay at sister¡¯s Peach Blossom Peak tonight.¡±


    Tomorrow, he had to visit Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi for Sword Dao guidance, and after that, he could no longer stay at Mu Yunchun¡¯s Peach Blossom Peak.


    Mu Yunchun, overjoyed upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian would stay at her Peach Blossom Peak that very night, her chest bouncing with glee, eximed, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then, I¡¯ll brew some peach blossom teater.¡±


    Peach blossom tea again?


    Yang Xiaotian made a face,ughing, ¡°Sister, could we have a different kind of tea?¡±


    Watching Yang Xiaotian making a face, Mu Yunchun giggled melodiously, ¡°Alright, then tonight we won¡¯t drink peach blossom tea, let¡¯s drink Da Hong Pao instead.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian broke into a sweat.


    So, tea was inevitable tonight.


    Thus, Mu Yunchun, with radiant joy, took Yang Xiaotian by the hand and flew towards her Peach Blossom Peak.


    The disciple stood there, bewildered, watching the fading figures of Mu Yunchun and Yang Xiaotian and felt as if ten thousand horses had trampled through his heart.


    Just as Mu Yunchun was leading Yang Xiaotian towards Peach Blossom Peak, they saw a group of Celestial Burial Academy disciples flying toward them head-on.


    This group of disciples came with an aggressive momentum, seemingly heading straight for the pair.


    The leader was a twenty-year-old young man, dressed in a mboyant red brocade robe, appearing quite dashing.


    Upon seeing this showy man, Mu Yunchun frowned.


    This young man, named Du Hongqing, was a new disciple who joined this year, and his talent was terrifying. During the registration, he broke the record on the talent testing stele, with a value that surged to seven thousand!


    Although it wasn¡¯t as astonishing as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s record of seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one, it still reached seven thousand one hundred and seventy-nine.


    When Du Hongqing¡¯s talent test value was revealed, the whole Celestial Burial Academy was shocked; not only did it rm Dean Wang Qing, but it also drew the attention of reclusive powerhouses like Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.<div>


    Furthermore, Du Hongqing was taken as a Direct Disciple by one of the reclusive greats of the academy, the God of Asura.


    Who is the God of Asura?


    ording to rumors, he is the grandson of the master of all gods.


    In the Celestial Burial Academy, his status, prestige, and strength were second only to Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.<div>


    Since joining the Celestial Burial Academy, Du Hongqing acted arrogantly, with little regard for others. He often pestered Mu Yunchun, causing her more trouble than He Jun and He Zhen of the He Family.


    However, with the God of Asura backing him, she could do nothing against Du Hongqing.


    Du Hongqing had spotted Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun from a distance, and seeing Mu Yunchun affectionately holding Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, his face immediately darkened.


    Yang Xiaotian also saw Du Hongqing and his group approaching with a threatening air.


    Mu Yunchun felt somewhat embarrassed and exined to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Little brother, you need to be careful. That mboyant guy is Du Hongqing. He¡¯s very strong inbat, a talent who joined the Celestial Burial Academy just this year. His talent test score reached seven thousand one hundred seventy-nine!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°Seven thousand one hundred seventy-nine.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ¡°Yes,¡± said Mu Yunchun. ¡°He, like you, broke through the seven thousand mark. At that time, even the Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi was rmed, andter, he was taken as a Direct Disciple by the God of Asura.¡±


    ¡°God of Asura!¡± Both Yang Xiaotian and Demon Ape were taken aback.


    Ten thousand years ago, the chief of all gods had dominated the Azure God Continent.


    They all knew that the God of Asura was the grandchild of the supreme deity.


    Mu Yunchun nodded, ¡°Yes, he is now a Disciple of the God of Asura, and like you, he has condensed nine Invincible Sword Hearts.¡±


    Initially, Yang Xiaotian had battled Wei Zongyuan at the Summit of Celestial Burial, unleashing the power of nine Sword Hearts. Mu Yunchun thought that Yang Xiaotian still had nine Sword Hearts.


    As Mu Yunchun was speaking, Du Hongqing led his subordinates up to where Yang Xiaotian and the others stood.<div>


    Upon arriving, Du Hongqing didn¡¯t beat around the bush. Staring at Yang Xiaotian, he said bluntly, ¡°Kid, I¡¯ve said it before, anyone who dares to touch Mu Yunchun will have their arms cut off. Will you do it yourself, or shall I make a move?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand had not only touched, but it had been quite a gripping contact. Damn, he hadn¡¯t even touched her yet.


    Demon Ape¡¯s eyes zed with bloodthirsty rage when he heard the other party demanding Yang Xiaotian to cut off his own arms.


    However, Yang Xiaotian stretched out his hand, halting Demon Ape.


    He looked at Du Hongqing, toozy for words, and said, ¡°Make your move.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Du Hongqing smirked, dark ck mes bursting out of his body. Without any courtesy, he threw a fierce punch at Yang Xiaotian.


    With his punch roared out, his form towering at the back seemed to be a thousand-zhang tall Asura, defying Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Asura Divine Art!¡± Mu Yunchun eximed in shock.


    She hadn¡¯t expected Du Hongqing to use the Asura Divine Art right from the start.


    The Asura Divine Art, the strongest Cultivation Technique of the God of Asura, was also the mightiest technique of the ancient Asura Demon Sect.


    It was rumored that when the Asura Divine Art was cultivated to the apex, one could transform into an Asura, sweeping through rivals invincibly.


    Faced with Du Hongqing¡¯s iing punch, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even look, simplyshing out with his palm and bursting the force of the punch. Before Du Hongqing could react, a terrifying power had already struck his chest, no, his entire body.


    Crack!<div>


    Du Hongqing was sent hurtling backward, embedding into the mid-slope of a distant mountain.


    The mountain rocks exploded.


    A continuous thunderous roar ensued.


    The neers who had followed Du Hongqing were stunned, staring in disbelief at Du Hongqing, who had been nted into the mountain.


    The reputed ¡®Son of Asura¡¯ of the Celestial Burial Academy, Du Hongqing, had actually been pped away.


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s cherry-like mouth was wide open, her face a picture of astonishment.


    She knew Yang Xiaotian would win, but never imagined he would win so effortlessly.


    This was no battle; it was practically swatting a fly.


    After a moment, Du Hongqing, embedded in the mountain, shook with light, roaring in fury. His True Yuan violently burst forth, blowing the mountain apart, and he flew out, his hair disheveled, looking like a fierce ghost, his blood-red eyes fixed on Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Who are you?!¡±

 Chapter 426: 426 We Just Drink Tea

    Chapter 426: Chapter 426 We Just Drink Tea


    ¡°`


    ¡°Who am I?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Du Hongqing, whose hair was disheveled and eyes were blood-red as he stared at him.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Suddenly, from a distance, someone called out with a trembling voice.


    The person who spoke was none other than Chen Sha, the young Sect Hierarch of the ck Wind Sect, who had been half-killed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Asura Force in the past!


    He was also one of Wei Zongyuan¡¯s capable lieutenants back then.


    In the crowd, Chen Sha was watching Yang Xiaotian with a look of sheer terror.


    Hearing Chen Sha¡¯s cry of rm, the group of new disciples who had followed Du Hongqing took in a sharp breath of cold air and regarded the blue-robed youth before them with horror.


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang!¡±


    A person¡¯s reputation grows like a tree¡¯s shadow.


    Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang!<div>


    It was no exaggeration to say that just mentioning the name Yang Xiaotian was enough to frighten many people away.


    There was once a disciple from Celestial Burial Academy who was intercepted on the road by a high-ranking member of a demonic sect. When the disciple imed to be the brother of Emperor Sanqian, the demonic sect member retreated in fear.


    This showed the terrifying influence of the name Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang, in the Buddha Source Empire.


    Du Hongqing also took in a deep breath of cold air.


    He forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart. ¡°So, you¡¯re Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang!¡±


    How could he not know about Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang? He had joined the Celestial Burial Academy precisely because of Yang Xiaotian.


    Now, the name Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang was being discussed in every street and alley of Buddha Source Empire. The more it spread, the more mystical and divine it became. This also led to dissatisfaction among the hidden, ancient families¡¯ monstrous geniuses.


    Du Hongqing was one of them.


    He took in a deep breath, his eyes zing with fighting intent. ¡°Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang, right? I want to have a decisive battle with you!¡±


    Decisive battle!


    Upon hearing Du Hongqing¡¯s challenge to a decisive battle with Yang Xiaotian, everyone was greatly shaken.


    Du Hongqing, like Yang Xiaotian, was a monstrous genius with a talent detection value exceeding seven thousand.


    Although Du Hongqing had just been sent flying by Yang Xiaotian, people still believed he had the power to fight Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°You want a decisive battle with me?¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at the eagerly battle-bound Du Hongqing and said indifferently, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then make your move.¡±


    ¡°No, I want our decisive battle to take ce at the Summit of Celestial Burial!¡± Du Hongqing said slowly.


    Upon Du Hongqing¡¯s words, there was amotion among the crowd.


    Previously, it was Wei Zongyuan who had fought a decisive battle with Yang Xiaotian at the Summit of Celestial Burial.


    Now, Du Hongqing wanted to follow in Wei Zongyuan¡¯s footsteps and have a decisive battle with Yang Xiaotian at the Summit of Celestial Burial!


    ¡°The Summit of Celestial Burial?¡± Yang Xiaotian frowned.<div>


    ¡°Yes, tomorrow, I will have a decisive battle with you at the Summit of Celestial Burial!¡± Du Hongqing, staring at Yang Xiaotian, said solemnly. ¡°However you defeated Wei Zongyuan that day, tomorrow, I will defeat you in the same way!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn


    ¡°What do you say, do you dare to ept?¡±


    Do you dare to ept?


    ¡°Fine.¡± Faced with Du Hongqing¡¯s challenge, Yang Xiaotian said. ¡°However, since you dare to challenge me, you better be prepared to be blown away by me.¡±<div>


    Du Hongqing¡¯s heart tightened, but he still said resolutely, ¡°Good, tomorrow, we will decide both victory and life or death!¡±


    Therefore, tomorrow¡¯s battle would be one of life and death!


    The crowd on the spot was greatly stirred.


    Yang Xiaotian, along with Mu Yunchun and the Demon Ape, left gracefully.


    Watching Yang Xiaotian drift away, Du Hongqing clenched his fists tightly, then rxed his entire body, and made a silent vow to himself; Yang Xiaotian, tomorrow, I shall defeat you!


    Even if you possess two Divine Elixirs, even if you have nine Sword Hearts, I will still defeat you!


    ¡°`


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left, the news of the life-and-death battle between the two spread.


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang, has returned!¡±


    ¡°The Son of Asura will face off against Emperor Sanqian at the Summit of Celestial Burial tomorrow!¡±


    ¡°The two will fight to the death!¡±


    As soon as the news spread, the entire Celestial Burial Academy was in an uproar.


    Not just the entire Celestial Burial Academy, but surrounding cities, neighboring kingdoms, all Sects, and all families were shocked and in an uproar upon receiving the news.<div>


    Both men are the strongest prodigious talents since the founding of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    They¡¯re actually going to fight to the death tomorrow!


    Upon hearing the news, Wang Qing, the headmaster of Celestial Burial Academy, was stunned for a long time, and with a bitter smile said, ¡°Xiaotian, this little guy, really knows how to stir up trouble. He causes such amotion as soon as he returns.¡±


    If Du Hongqing really gets killed by Yang Xiaotian tomorrow, that would be a big problem.


    You see, Du Hongqing is not just any Direct Disciple of the God of Asura.


    Before joining the Celestial Burial Academy, Du Hongqing¡¯s identity was already astonishing.


    Wei Zongyuan is a direct descendant of the Peacock Buddha Mother; in the Buddha Source Empire, his status is absolutely shocking, yet Du Hongqing¡¯s identity is even more astonishing than Wei Zongyuan¡¯s.


    In the deepest depths of the forbidden grounds of the Celestial Burial Academy, Sword God Ji Wudi also received the news and simrly smiled, ¡°This little fellow is truly someone I have my eye on.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow will be a good opportunity to see if this little guy has made any progress in the past two years.¡±


    ¡°This little fellow, I wonder how many Sword Hearts he has condensed by now.¡±


    Ji Wudi flung the wine from his cup, and in the instant the wine was scattered, it transformed into numerous swords, filling every corner of the forbidden area with overwhelming Sword Qi.


    All the elders of the Celestial Burial Academy felt this astonishing Sword Qi.


    Including the God of Asura.<div>


    God of Asura nced in the direction of Ji Wudi¡¯s abode, then looking at Du Hongqing bowing before him, he sighed, ¡°You¡¯re too impulsive!¡±


    Referring to the matter of fighting to the death with Yang Xiaotian tomorrow.


    However, Du Hongqing confidently said, ¡°Rest assured, Master, tomorrow, I might not lose.¡±


    God of Asura said solemnly, ¡°Wei Zongyuan was killed by Yang Xiaotian in Martial Emperor City, which has been confirmed, yet no one knows the particrs of their fight, and to this day, no one has found Wei Zongyuan¡¯s body, including his master, the Demon Sky Sword God.¡±


    But Du Hongqing said, ¡°I am not Wei Zongyuan.¡±


    ¡°How can Wei Zongyuanpare to me!¡±


    God of Asura shook his head, ¡°If you die, how can I exin to your grandfather?¡±


    ¡°If I die, my grandfather will avenge me. There¡¯s no need for you to exin to him,¡± said Du Hongqing with determination in his eyes. ¡°However, tomorrow, I will win!¡±


    Even if no one else was optimistic about him, he still had confidence in himself.


    Because even his master, the God of Asura, did not know his true talent andbat strength.


    During the talent detection, he merely struck casually, showing a talent score of only seven thousand one hundred seventy-nine. If he had struck with all his might, his talent score would have been far greater than a mere seven thousand one hundred seventy-nine.


    If he had struck with his full force, his talent score would definitely have far surpassed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun had arrived at Peach Blossom Peak.<div>


    The Demon Ape refused to enter Peach Blossom Peak and said with a sleazy smile to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ll stay outside Peach Blossom Peak tonight. I won¡¯t go in; I¡¯ll just stand guard outside. Rest assured, no one will disturb you two this evening.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at the Demon Ape¡¯s lecherous expression, was speechless and exined, ¡°We¡¯re just going to drink tea.¡±


    ¡°I know, Young Master. Tonight you¡¯re going to ¡®drink tea¡¯ with Miss Mu,¡± said the Demon Ape with a serious smile before leaping away.


    Yang Xiaotian felt a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead and turned to see Mu Yunchun¡¯s face blushing.


    In the midst of nervousness, Mu Yunchun weed Yang Xiaotian into Peach Blossom Peak.

 Chapter 427: 427: Hand of Azure God

    Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Hand of Azure God


    After inviting Yang Xiaotian into Peach Blossom Peak, Mu Yunchun dismissed her attendants and personally poured tea for Yang Xiaotian.


    Mu Yunchun¡¯s chest was so full that when she stood in front of Yang Xiaotian pouring tea, leaning forward slightly, there was an immediate sensation of a mountain bearing down on him.


    Yang Xiaotian felt a great deal of pressure.


    Mu Yunchun felt Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze sweep over her and her heart trembled fiercely, her hand involuntarily shaking.


    After pouring the tea, Mu Yunchun smiled and said, ¡°Little brother, have a taste of this Da Hong Pao and see how you like the vor.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian picked it up, took a sip, and found it to be very sweet and fragrant,menting with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s delicious, very sweet.¡±


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian say it was delicious, Mu Yunchun gave a sweet smile, charming and seductive, and was about to pour him more tea when Yang Xiaotian quickly waved his hand, ¡°Sister, let me do it myself.¡±


    He really feared another mountainous encounter.


    The two chatted over tea for a while before the conversation shifted to Du Hongqing.


    ¡°Little brother, this Du Hongqing is very mysterious. No one knows his true talent. Some say he was born with Sword Heart, Sword Bones, Sword Body, and Sword Soul!¡± Mu Yunchun said with a serious expression.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, ¡°Born with Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Bones, Sword Soul?¡±


    Normally, having an Innate Sword Heart and Sword Body was already rare, like You Yi in the past, who had an Innate Sword Heart and Five Elements Sword Body.


    That Du Hongqing not only had an Innate Sword Heart and Sword Body, but also Innate Sword Bones and Sword Soul!


    This was truly horrifying.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I heard,¡± Mu Yunchun nodded, ¡°But no disciple from Celestial Burial Academy has ever seen him employ Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Bones, and Sword Soul together.¡±


    She added, ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s said that he has a Twin Supreme Martial Soul!¡±


    ¡°Twin Supreme Martial Soul!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    Did Du Hongqing really possess a Twin Supreme Martial Soul, just like him in the past?


    If that was the case, then his talent was indeed truly astonishing.


    Though he too had a Twin Supreme Martial Soul back in the day, he did not have an Innate Sword Heart and Sword Body, let alone Innate Sword Bones and Sword Soul.


    Luckily, he received the inheritance of Divine Master Hong Feng and cultivated the Ancient Dragon n¡¯s strongest Cultivation Technique, the Primordial Dragon Art, and thus soared against the odds.


    ¡°Yes, a Twin Supreme Martial Soul,¡± Mu Yunchun said gravely, ¡°So little brother, you must be careful in tomorrow¡¯s battle.¡±


    Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian chuckled, ¡°I know. After drinking my sister¡¯s tea, mybat power will burst forth tomorrow, and I will definitely crush Du Hongqing.¡±


    Mu Yunchun gave Yang Xiaotian a white look, temptingly and enticingly, ¡°You¡¯re just trying to make me happy again,¡± she said with augh.


    The two talkedte into the night.


    But, as Yang Xiaotian mentioned, the two just had tea.


    As night deepened, Mu Yunchun finally returned to her own courtyard.


    Back in her courtyard, she thought about the troubles of her n and couldn¡¯t help frowning.


    The Mu Family was now in very big trouble.<div>


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian, after pondering the Samsara Sword Path in his courtyard for a while, used his Life-Bound Soul Skill, Space Concealment, left Peach Blossom Peak, and then headed for Celestial Burial Mountain.


    Under Master Ding¡¯s protection, he smoothly passed through Celestial Burial Mountain¡¯s restrictions and the Innate Sword Formation, arriving at the Azure God Cave Mansion. Using the power of the eighteen Sword Steles, Yang Xiaotian opened the Azure God Cave Mansion, passed through the first two chambers, and arrived directly in front of the third chamber¡¯s pce.


    Yang Xiaotian stood before the third chamber, fully invoking the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, striking the doors of the third chamber¡¯s pce.


    The doors to the third chamber finally opened slowly.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian stepped into the third chamber of the pce.


    The third chamber was almost identical to the first two, the only difference being that the first chamber contained nineyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, the second held the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique, and the third chamber contained a pair of gloves.


    A pair of gloves that seemed to be gilded with dark gold.


    Without any dazzling brilliance, but with a captivating luster, the glovesy there quiet and unassuming, devoid of any formidable presence.


    Yang Xiaotian walked forward and picked up the Hand of Azure God.


    It was very heavy to pick up, and Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t know what material it was forged from. Even with his strength, which was now sufficient to kill a Great Emperor, he could barely lift it with all his might.


    Yang Xiaotian immediately used the blood refinement method and preliminarily refined the Hand of Azure God.


    When he refined the Hand of Azure God, it became very light and thin, as if it were nothing. He wore it on his hands, and the originallyrge Hand of Azure God changed to fit the size of his hands perfectly, clinging tightly to them.


    Yang Xiaotian tried to stimte the True Yuan to activate the Hand of Azure God, and suddenly, the Hand of Azure God burst out with a terrifying divine light, and an endless divine power exploded from within.


    The Azure God Cave Mansion shook.


    Celestial Burial Mountain shook even more.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled and hastily cut off the flow of True Yuan.


    The Hand of Azure God then returned to normal.<div>


    Even so, the shaking of Celestial Burial Mountain had rmed many powerhouses of Celestial Burial Academy.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on! Celestial Burial Mountain just shook terribly!¡±


    ¡°It seems that Celestial Burial Mountain has never shaken like this before.¡±


    The myriad of powerhouses from Celestial Burial Academy rushed to the skies above Celestial Burial Mountain, full of astonishment and disbelief.


    Inside the Azure God Cave Mansion, Yang Xiaotian looked at the Hand of Azure God, which had finally calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief, wiping sweat from his forehead.


    The power of the Hand of Azure God was beyond his expectation.


    Luckily he hadn¡¯t fully activated the Hand of Azure God just then, but only tried to stimte it a little with True Yuan. Otherwise, he might have pierced the heavens.


    Seeing the power of the Hand of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.


    In his heart, he silentlymanded, and he saw the Hand of Azure God be transparent, seeping into his hands like water, and merging with the flesh and blood of his hands.


    When he silentlymanded again, the Hand of Azure God re-emerged from his hands.


    With the Hand of Azure God, he would undoubtedly have anotheryer of protection when facing enemies in the future.


    Unfortunately, there was only the Hand of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.


    The Azure God Suit was not just the Hand of Azure God; there were also the Armor of Azure God, the Helmet of Azure God, the Boots of Azure God, and the Sword of Azure God. Now, he only had the Sword of Azure God and the Hand of Azure God.<div>


    As for the other three pieces, he had no idea where they might be.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The Lord of Azure God hadn¡¯t mentioned them either.


    After familiarizing himself with the Hand of Azure God for a while, Yang Xiaotian left the Celestial Burial Mountain and returned to Peach Blossom Peak, continuing his cultivation of the Samsara Sword Path.


    Unknowingly, the darkness slowly faded away.


    It was not yet daylight, but the Celestial Burial Academy was already boiling over, as millions of students crowded towards the Summit of Celestial Burial.


    Soon, Wangtian Peak was crowded with throngs of people.


    Even the experts from various major cities and families had arrived.


    This time, there were even more people than thest.


    As daylight brightened, Yang Xiaotian, along with Mu Yunchun and Demon Ape, flew toward Wangtian Peak.


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang! Divine Yang has arrived!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t yet reached Wangtian Peak when the myriad of students and strong figures at Wangtian Peak were already shaking with excitement.


    Du Hongqing, who had already arrived at Wangtian Peak, watched Yang Xiaotian approach through the air, his body surging with Sword Qi like an ocean.


    In the midst of the crowd¡¯s excitement, Yang Xiaotian set foot on Wangtian Peak.<div>


    ¡°Lord Sword Ancestor, Invincible!¡±


    ¡°Lord God of Asura!¡±


    Just as Yang Xiaotian arrived at Wangtian Peak, Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi, God of Asura, Principal Wang Qing, and all the venerable elders of Celestial Burial Academy also flew through the sky toward him.


    This time, all the reclusive powerhouses of Celestial Burial Academy hade.

 Chapter 428: 428: Du Hongqings True Talent

    Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Du Hongqing¡¯s True Talent


    ¡°Lord Invincible!¡±


    Upon the appearance of Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi, all the experts present couldn¡¯t help but bow excitedly in salute.


    ¡°Lord Sword Ancestor!¡±


    ¡°Invincible Sword Ancestor!¡±


    Even many disciples of the Celestial Burial Academy knelt from afar, excitedly shouting.


    This demonstrated the prestige and influential power of Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    Although the God of Asura and many reclusive elders of the Celestial Burial Academy had also arrived, the crowd of experts and disciples were excited only to call out the name of Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    This was the prestige and supreme status of the strongest hegemon in the history of the Celestial Burial Academy.


    Powerful beings like the Demon Sky Sword God, Jian Changkong, and the Sun Moon Holy King, potentates of the Azure God Continent, could only bow and give way when facing Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    Amidst everyone¡¯s excitement, Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi, God of Asura, Wang Qing, and others arrived at the scene.<div>


    ¡°Greetings to Lord Invincible.¡± Even someone as proud as Du Hongqing dared not act presumptuously upon seeing Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi nodded slightly to Du Hongqing, ¡°How is your grandfather doing?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart stirred, Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi knew Du Hongqing¡¯s grandfather?


    ¡°Thank you, Lord Invincible. My grandfather is well. He has been full of praise for Lord Invincible,¡± Du Hongqing said with a bow.


    Ji Wudi looked at Yang Xiaotian and revealed a smile, ¡°You little rascal, you¡¯ve been away for more than two years and didn¡¯t think toe back and see this old man. Is it because you think this old man¡¯s wine isn¡¯t good enough to drink?¡±


    Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian with envy.


    Who in the Celestial Burial Academy could have the chance to drink the wine of Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    It was probably only Yang Xiaotian who could.


    Even the God of Asura and Wang Qing had never had the chance to drink the wine of Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.


    Yang Xiaotian said with a sped fist and a smile, ¡°Senior¡¯s wine is fine wine, I have always been thinking about it. After today¡¯s decisive battle, I was hoping to drink with Senior.¡±


    At these words, Ji Wudi was very pleased andughed heartily, ¡°Good, after today¡¯s decisive battle, you and I will have a good drink, let¡¯s drink for ten days and nights.¡±


    Drink for ten days and nights?


    Yang Xiaotian immediately shivered.


    Last time after drinking for two days and nights, the Abnormal Fire within him had run rampant and smoke wasing out of his body, if this time it was for ten days and nights, his Divine me would surely run amok, with mes bursting out of him.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s startled reaction, Ji Wudiughed even louder, hisughter filled with fondness and admiration for his younger prot¨¦g¨¦.


    Yet Du Hongqing¡¯s face darkened.


    Since Ji Wudi had invited Yang Xiaotian to drink with him that evening, was it not a clear sign that he believed Yang Xiaotian would surely win the uing decisive battle? Since Ji Wudi and everyone else didn¡¯t favor him, he would let them all open their eyes wideter to see who was truly the strongest!


    And see who was truly invincible.


    And see who was truly the most talented prodigy in the history of the Celestial Burial Academy.<div>


    Following that, Ji Wudi, God of Asura, and the other experts all stepped aside, yielding the battleground to Yang Xiaotian and Du Hongqing.


    As Ji Wudi and the others moved aside, the previously bustling Wangtian Peak fell silent.


    Du Hongqing fixed his gaze on Yang Xiaotian, his aura escting bit by bit, growing stronger and stronger.


    Suddenly, strands of Sword Qi enveloped his body.<div>


    At the same time, an aura of battling the heavens and earth enveloped the surroundings.


    ¡°War Heaven Sword Body!¡±


    Seeing the Sword Qi all over Du Hongqing¡¯s body, many strong figures eximed.


    War Heaven Sword Body was an Innate Sword Body and far stronger than You Yi¡¯s Five Elements Sword Body from back then.


    Following that, Du Hongqing¡¯s bones emitted streaks of Sword Qi.


    A supreme aura pervaded heaven and earth.


    ¡°This is the Supreme Sword Bone!¡±


    The crowd was shocked to see this.


    Du Hongqing was not only born with Sword Bones but with Supreme Sword Bones.


    Supreme Sword Bones are undoubtedly one of the strongest Sword Bones.


    It is rumored that those born with Supreme Sword Bones, even in death, their Sword Bones can remain indestructible for millions of years.


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s astonishment, sword qi pirs burst forth from above Du Hongqing¡¯s head, piercing into the Nine Heavens and causing the winds and clouds to change color.


    These pirs of sword qi were erupting from the Sea of his Soul.<div>


    At that moment, his Sea of Souls was akin to a Sea of Sword Qi.


    ¡°Immortal Sword Soul!¡± Even the Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi eximed in amazement upon seeing this.


    Du Hongqing was not only born with a Sword Soul, but the strongest of Sword Souls, an Immortal Sword Soul!


    This Sword Soul, known as immortal, demonstrates its formidable power.


    An Immortal Sword Soul is even rarer than Supreme Sword Bones. Although the Azure God Continent has seen Sword Dao Geniuses with Supreme Sword Bones in thest hundred thousand years, none with an Immortal Sword Soul had emerged.


    It could be said that Du Hongqing was the only one with an Immortal Sword Soul in thest hundred thousand years!


    Even the Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi was amazed, not to mention Wang Qing and the other elders, who were even more astounded.


    Finally, from Du Hongqing¡¯s chest burst forth one sword qi after another.


    ¡°Innate Sword Heart!¡±


    Upon witnessing this, the crowd eximed once again.


    There is a difference between a Sword Heart cultivatedter and an Innate Sword Heart, so everyone could tell at a nce that Du Hongqing¡¯s Sword Heart was innate.


    ¡°Innate Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Bones, and Sword Soul! Four Innate Constitutions! This Du Hongqing is too terrifying!¡±


    ¡°Four Innate Constitutions, could it be unique to the Azure God Continent?!¡±<div>


    Whether it was the students of the Celestial Burial Academy or the experts from various prominent families, all found it hard to suppress the shock in their hearts.


    At that moment, Mu Yunchun also couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous.


    Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s two Divine Grade Golden Cores had caused a great sensation, Du Hongqing now possessed four Innate Constitutions and was also endowed with Supreme Sword Bones and an Immortal Sword Soul, both very rare as well.


    While everyone was shocked by Du Hongqing¡¯s four Innate Constitutions, suddenly, his body¡¯s radiance surged once more, and an enormouslyrge Martial Spirit flew out from within him.


    As his Martial Spirit emerged, Wangtian Peak trembled, the ground shook, and the mountains swayed.


    A vast divine might swept forth.


    The crowd stared in astonishment at the giant red dragon above Du Hongqing¡¯s head.


    ¡°Supreme Martial Spirit, the Red Dragon Martial Spirit!¡±


    The Red Dragon is a special existence among the Long n. This type of dragon is extremely rare, even rarer than the Azure Dragon, White Dragon, or Golden Dragon, and of course, its power surpasses that of the Azure Dragon and White Dragon.


    After the Red Dragon Martial Spirit, another massive Martial Spirit emerged from Du Hongqing¡¯s body.


    This Martial Spirit was a green tiger!


    It was actually a green tiger.


    Everyone was stunned.<div>


    They had seen ck tigers, yellow tigers, white tigers before, but they had never seen a green tiger.


    ¡°Supreme Martial Spirit, Mutated Green Tiger!¡± eximed Ji Wudi in surprise.


    Indeed, Du Hongqing¡¯s second Martial Spirit was a Mutated Martial Spirit, a green giant tiger the likes of which no one had ever seen.


    This green giant tiger¡¯s divine might was not only as strong as the Red Dragon¡¯s but possibly even stronger.


    The crowd was stunned as they looked at the twin Supreme Martial Spirits above Du Hongqing¡¯s head.


    ¡°Twin Supreme Martial Spirits, such a rare phenomenon in the world,¡± the powerful elders couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    ¡°With such talent, even the Buddha Son is far inferior, right?¡± Someone in the crowd eximed in shock.


    Before Yang Xiaotian, the Buddha Son, Tang Huan was known as the number one talent of Buddha Source, butpared to Du Hongqing before them, he paled inparison.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, although you possess two Divine Grade Golden Cores, I have four Innate Constitutions, and I have two Supreme Martial Spirits,¡± Du Hongqing looked down at Yang Xiaotian with icy arrogance.


    ¡°In this battle, I will surely defeat you!¡±

 Chapter 429: 429: Yang Xiaotian, Youve Puffed up the Bull to the Sky

    Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Yang Xiaotian, You¡¯ve Puffed up the Bull to the Sky


    ¡°In this battle, I must defeat you!¡±


    Hearing Du Hongqing¡¯s words, everyone turned their attention to Yang Xiaotian.


    Last time when Yang Xiaotian fought against Wei Zongyuan, his two Divine Elixirs and nine Sword Hearts shocked the world, yet no one had seen Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul, nor had anyone seen his Soul Rings.


    For the past two years, Celestial Burial Academy and Buddha Source Empire had been discussing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Rings.


    Ji Wudi was also curious about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Rings.


    Ever since Wei Zongyuan died at the hands of Yang Xiaotian in Martial Emperor City, the outside world¡¯s rumors about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Rings had be even more mythical.


    Almost everyone unanimously believed that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Rings must be hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, and that they were directly condensed, unlike Wei Zongyuan¡¯s, which were upgraded through life-and-death trials.


    Directly condensed hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, their power would definitely be stronger than those upgradedter on.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at Du Hongqing¡¯s two Supreme Martial Spirits, his face calm as he said, ¡°To defeat you, half a move is enough.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    To defeat you, half a move is enough!<div>


    As soon as these words were spoken, there was a strong stir among everyone.


    Because in the past, during the battle between Wei Zongyuan and Yang Xiaotian, Yang had also said this phrase.


    This overwhelmingly confident remark was still being passed around among many disciples at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    ¡°That¡¯s just too domineering! Du Hongqing is endowed with the Innate Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Bone, and Sword Soul! And he has twin Supreme Martial Spirits! And Yang just said he could defeat Du Hongqing in half a move!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang is truly worthy of the name Divine Yang!¡±


    In the crowd, one disciple after another was shocked by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words.


    ¡°Divine Yang, you¡¯re so cool!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang, I love you!¡±


    Many female disciples, with stars in their eyes, screamed excitedly at Yang Xiaotian.


    Listening to those female disciples¡¯ smitten screams, Wang Qing and others couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly.


    Ji Wudi, looking at Yang Xiaotian,ughed and said, ¡°This young fellow has the ir I had back in the day, I like it!¡± With that, he burst outughing.


    Wang Qing was speechless.


    The God of Asura, however, frowned, feeling that Yang Xiaotian was a bit too arrogant.


    His own disciple had twin Supreme Martial Spirits and was born with the Innate Sword Heart, Sword Bone, Sword Body, and the Immortal Sword Soul, yet Yang dared to im he could defeat him in half a move.


    Did this kid really think his disciple was made of mud that he could trample on as he pleased?


    Du Hongqing was also angry, his face flushing red as he red at Yang Xiaotian. ¡°Fine, Yang Xiaotian, I want to see how you can defeat me in half a move! Everyone says your Soul Rings are hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, and I really want to witness the power of hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.¡±


    ¡°Hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings?¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, ¡°Is that the strongest Soul Ring in your eyes?¡±


    At Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words, all the powerful figures present were stirred.


    ¡°What does Divine Yang mean by that? He¡¯s saying that his Soul Rings are not just hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings!¡±<div>


    ¡°What, not just hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings! That¡¯s impossible, right?¡±


    Many powerhouses were astonished.


    Even Ji Wudi, the God of Asura, Wang Qing, and others were greatly surprised.


    In everyone¡¯s understanding, hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings were the strongest already.<div>


    But now, Yang Xiaotian was saying that his Soul Rings were not just hundred-thousand-year!


    ¡°Two hundred thousand years? Could Divine Yang¡¯s Soul Rings be two hundred thousand years?¡±


    ¡°It must be! Two hundred thousand years!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s just too frightening!¡±


    Many disciples at the Celestial Burial Academy excitedly spected.


    Thinking that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Rings might be two hundred thousand-year Soul Rings, everyone was so excited they couldn¡¯t contain themselves, some even feeling a rush of urgency like they were about to pee themselves.


    Urgency to pee oneself, what kind of feeling is that?


    That is a feeling of exhration to the heavens!


    Du Hongqing¡¯s heart also violently shook, hisplexion pale. Could it be that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Rings were truly two hundred thousand years old?


    If there really were a two hundred thousand-year Soul Ring, that would be far too terrifying.


    A one hundred thousand-year Soul Ring, such as the one from legends, already possessed inconceivable power, let alone a two hundred thousand-year one.


    ¡°However, I don¡¯t need to use the power of my Soul Ring to defeat you,¡± Yang Xiaotian said indifferently.


    The excited crowd was taken aback.<div>


    What does that mean?


    It seemed that Yang Xiaotian did not want to use his Soul Ring.


    This left all those who originally wanted to see the two hundred thousand-year Soul Ring greatly disappointed.


    Even Ji Wudi couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed in his heart.


    He originally wanted to see if Yang Xiaotian truly had a two hundred thousand-year Soul Ring and witness its terrifying power, but it looked like he would not get that chance.


    Upon hearing this, Du Hongqingughed loudly: ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯ve blown your own trumpet to the skies, making me actually believe you had a two hundred thousand-year Soul Ring. It seems like you¡¯re too scared to show it; you don¡¯t have a two hundred thousand-year Soul Ring at all!¡±


    ¡°I could boast of having a three hundred thousand-year Soul Ring myself.¡±


    ¡°Anyone can boast.¡±


    Watching Du Hongqing smirk with pride and burst intoughter, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, ¡°Make your move.¡±


    No sooner had Yang Xiaotian spoken than Du Hongqing made his move.


    He almost instantly appeared in front of Yang Xiaotian, his fists thundering out fiercely.


    As he unleashed his fists, the power of two Supreme Martial Spirits, the force of the War Heaven Sword Body, the Supreme Sword Bone, the Immortal Sword Soul, and the Innate Sword Heart all roared out from his fists.


    Boom!<div>


    The terrifying punch shook the very space.


    Some disciples of lower strength even fell over, shaken to the ground.


    This was just the spatial vibration caused by the force of the punch.


    It was not even one ten-thousandth of the punch¡¯s force.


    Du Hongqing¡¯s Red Dragon and Green Tiger Martial Souls shone brilliantly into the sky, sword energy surged from his body, illuminating countless mountain peaks. The brilliance reminded everyone of the dazzling light Yang Xiaotian produced when he activated the two Divine Elixirs.


    Under the overwhelming force of the punch, Du Hongqing appeared like the Sword God of this world, roaring, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, let me witness the power of your two Divine Elixirs!¡±


    As Du Hongqing¡¯s overwhelming force approached, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body suddenly erupted with three hundred sixty-five golden pirs of light. The pirs soared into the sky and sted into the heavens.


    The sky seemed to have been pierced with three hundred sixty-five giant holes.


    The power of all three hundred sixty-five acupoints in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was awakened.


    ¡°What, the Martial Venerable Realm!¡±


    ¡°Three hundred sixty-five acupoints!¡±


    The crowd on site was shocked.


    Ji Wudi, Wang Qing, and others were all astonished.<div>


    Du Hongqing, too, wore an expression of disbelief.


    More than two years ago when Yang Xiaotian joined Celestial Burial Academy, he had just broken through to Martial Emperor, right? To be sure, Du Hongqing thought that even if Yang Xiaotian had cultivated swiftly, he would only be at the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Emperor.


    But Yang Xiaotian had actually made a breakthrough to Martial Venerable!


    Moreover, he had opened all three hundred sixty-five acupoints!


    Even though he possessed the Innate Sword Heart, Sword Bone, Sword Body, and Immortal Sword Soul, he was just a Martial Emperor.


    A Martial Emperor challenging someone who had opened all three hundred sixty-five acupoints in the Martial Venerable Realm?


    Wasn¡¯t that courting death?


    While Du Hongqing was struggling to believe it, Yang Xiaotianunched his punch. Immediately, the daunting True Essence Power from all three hundred sixty-five acupoints roared out from his punch like a tidal wave.


    When a Martial Venerable practitioner opens their acupoints, it not only boosts their vitality and strengthens their body, but also stores True Yuan.


    Thus, the more acupoints that are opened, the more True Yuan is stored.


    Each of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s acupoints was already several timesrger than those of an ordinary Martial Venerable. When True Yuan from all three hundred sixty-five acupoints was activated together, how torrential and terrifying would that be!

 Chapter 430: My Celestial Burial Academy Is Fortunate

    Chapter 430: Chapter 430: My Celestial Burial Academy Is Fortunate


    When the True Yuan from the three hundred and sixty-five acupoints surged out like an overwhelming sea, Wangtian Peak trembled violently.


    The power of True Yuan from the three hundred and sixty-five acupoints was like three hundred and sixty-five raging, ceaseless seas, with each acupoint containing True Yuan power several times stronger than the force behind Du Hongqing¡¯s punch.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch was equivalent to a thousandfold of Du Hongqing¡¯s punching power, howling fiercely towards him.


    A force a thousand times stronger than Du Hongqing¡¯s, how terrifying that would be.


    The space emitted a sharp whistling sound.


    Du Hongqing¡¯s face was stricken with horror and his eyes filled with endless despair.


    Facing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch, the fierce battle intent he had just ignited had already been extinguished.


    If he were to be hit by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punch, what awaited him would definitely be annihtion by that single blow.


    Even his Innate Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Bone, and Immortal Sword Soul were of no use, even possessing two Supreme Martial Spirits was futile.


    The only oue would be obliteration.


    In the face of absolute power, high talent is of no avail.


    Even Du Hongqing¡¯s four Innate Constitutions were useless, not to mention four, even five Innate Constitutions would be sted away just the same.


    Thump!


    Under the True Yuan power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, Du Hongqing was like a shrimp hit by the great sea, instantaneously sted away.


    As Du Hongqing was blown away, the armor on his body continuously turned to ash.


    That¡¯s right, it turned directly into ash, not bursting apart.


    And the endless Sword Qi on Du Hongqing¡¯s body also scatteredpletely.


    The myriad Sword Qi from just a moment ago, all scattered away, not a drop remained.


    The Red Dragon and Green Tiger Martial Souls on Du Hongqing also lost their luster, like candles in the wind.


    In the shocked gazes of the onlookers, Du Hongqing was sted flying, crossing over Wangtian Peak and directly into the opposite mountain.


    There was a loud crashing noise.


    The opposite mountain was sted through.


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Du Hongqing was again hurled into another mountain.


    After piercing through four mountains in session, he finally came to a stop.


    Mountains copsed.


    Rocks scattered about.


    Dust rolled through the air.


    All who witnessed the rolling dust and rocks spraying into the sky were unspeakably shocked.


    Du Hongqing, who possessed two Supreme Martial Spirits along with the Innate Sword Heart, Sword Bone, Sword Body, and Immortal Sword Soul, was just like that, sent flying.


    Like Wei Zongyuan before, defeated in half a move.


    He simply couldn¡¯t withstand a single move from Yang Xiaotian.


    Silence fell upon Heaven and Earth.


    Watching the three hundred and sixty-five golden light pirs on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, the crowd was caught in a tempest of awe.


    Among those present were many Martial Venerables and even stronger experts.


    They knew how difficult it was to unlock the three hundred and sixty-five acupoints and achieve the Grand Cirction.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian, who had left just two years ago, had not only broken through Martial Venerable but had also unlocked three hundred and sixty-five acupoints.


    At this moment, an undying aura appeared on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    ¡°This is an undying aura! How does he have an undying aura? Isn¡¯t it said that only after unlocking one thousand two hundred and ny-six acupoints does the flesh be immortal?¡± eximed a n elder, his eyes bulging.


    Many other powerful beings were equally astonished and perplexed.


    They couldn¡¯t understand why Yang Xiaotian had an immortal body after unlocking only three hundred and sixty-five acupoints.


    Ji Wudi thought of a possibility and said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s because he opened up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints all at once!¡±


    ¡°What, he opened three hundred and sixty-five acupoints all at once!¡± Everyone took in a sharp breath.


    Opening twelve acupoints at once is already rare.


    Opening up twice that of the Minor Cirction is seldom seen.


    But Yang Xiaotian, he actually opened up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints at once!


    ¡°Yes, it is recorded in ancient myths that if someone could open up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints at once, they can cause the Heavenly Nectar to descend.¡± One of the powerful Ancient Ancestors from the Celestial Burial Academy was also excited.


    ¡°Friend Yang must have absorbed the Heavenly Nectar that descended, which is why his flesh is undying!¡±


    Everyone was shocked.


    Many of them were learning for the first time that opening three hundred and sixty-five acupoints could trigger the descent of Heavenly Nectar.


    ¡°However, opening up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints at once belongs to ancient myths. After the ancient times, no one else has been able to do it!¡± That Ancient Ancestor continued excitedly, ¡°I never imagined that after a million years, such an ancient myth would reappear!¡±


    The millions of disciples from the Celestial Burial Academy looked at Yang Xiaotian with even more fervent gazes.


    ¡°Emperor Sanqian, Divine Yang!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang is invincible!¡±


    One disciple after another shouted excitedly.


    The God of Asura looked at Yang Xiaotian withplex emotions.


    Yang Xiaotian had sted his disciple into a state of life and death unknown, but he couldn¡¯t bring himself to hate Yang Xiaotian at all.


    A million years had passed since the ancient times, and the Azure God Continent had seen the rise of numerous prodigies, such as his grandfather, the King of Myriad Gods, the Undying Evil Venerable, the King of Myriad Gods.


    But, even someone as exceptional as his grandfather, the King of Myriad Gods, wasn¡¯t able to open three hundred and sixty-five acupoints at once.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian did it.


    What a stunning feat.


    This Yang Xiaotian would surely dazzle for all eternity.


    He looked at Yang Xiaotian and instead of feeling hatred, he felt a sense of gratification.


    Yang Xiaotian was a disciple of the Celestial Burial Academy; if Yang Xiaotian could dazzle for all eternity, it would be a glory for the Celestial Burial Academy, a glory for the Azure God Continent.


    ¡°Good!¡± Ji Wudi suddenly let out a heartyugh, ¡°Fortunate are we to witness an ancient myth reborn today! Our Celestial Burial Academy is fortunate to have such a dazzling eternal prodigy as Friend Yang!¡±


    Just then, that Ancient Ancestor excitedly agreed with Ji Wudi, ¡°Lord Wudi is right, our Celestial Burial Academy is indeed fortunate to have such a dazzling eternal prodigy as Friend Yang!¡±


    ¡°Our Celestial Burial Academy is fortunate to have such a dazzling eternal prodigy as Friend Yang!¡± One after another, the Ancient Ancestors of the Celestial Burial Academy excitedly eximed.


    If they knew that Yang Xiaotian had opened three hundred and sixty-five acupoints twice in session, and had now condensed seven hundred and thirty acupoints, making his flesh not only undying but also indestructible, who knows how excited they would be.


    Ji Wudi approached Yang Xiaotian and said with a smile, ¡°Since Yang Xiaotian has won, let¡¯s go then, to my dwelling to drink, just the two of us for ten days and nights!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian shivered and replied with a wry smile, ¡°Lord Wudi, are we really going to drink for ten days and nights?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not a lie?¡± Ji Wudiughed loudly, then, grabbing Yang Xiaotian, they broke through the air and left.


    Everyone watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure with envy and admiration.


    At that moment, Du Hongqing was dug out from within the belly of the mountain by his subordinates.


    Du Hongqing¡¯s entire body was covered with blood-red cracks that resembled spider webs, looking as though his body might split open at any moment.


    Although Du Hongqing wasn¡¯t dead, he was not far from it.


    Seeing that Du Hongqing had not died, everyone was amazed.


    One must admit, with the twin Supreme Spirits, Innate War Heaven Sword Body, Supreme Sword Bone, and Immortal Sword Soul, Du Hongqing¡¯s vitality was strong.


    If any other Martial Emperor had taken that terrifying punch from Yang Xiaotian, they would have definitely been blown into a pulp.


    The God of Asura took out an elixir and had Du Hongqing swallow it, saving Du Hongqing¡¯s life, then ordered his men to carry Du Hongqing back.


    As Du Hongqing was carried back, word of the battle spread, shocking the Buddha Source Empire.

 Chapter 431 - 431 A Big Incident Happened

    Chapter 431: Chapter 431 A Big Incident Happened


    Yang Xiaotian had no idea how the Buddha Source Empire was shaken; at the time, he was drinking heartily with Ji Wudi in his cave abode, their blood boiling and their bodies emitting great clouds of steam.


    The liquor Ji Wudi brought out this time was even more potent than thest, so fierce that it made his liver tremble continuously.


    As Yang Xiaotian and Ji Wudi were drinking, they were also exchanging insights into Sword Dao.


    The more they exchanged, the higher Yang Xiaotian¡¯s understanding of Sword Dao became, and his Sword Qi surged more intensely.


    The deeper their exchange, the more shocked Ji Wudi became, watching Yang Xiaotian¡¯s swirling Sword Qi with disbelief.


    Dammit, how can this kid have such terrifying Sword Qi?


    Even when he was in the Great Emperor Realm, he couldn¡¯t possibly have had such terrifying Sword Qi.


    And yet, Yang Xiaotian was only in the Venerable Realm.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was exchanging Sword Dao insights and drinking with Ji Wudi, suddenly, a shocking bell sound echoed through the Celestial Burial Academy, ringing not just once but ten times.


    All the millions of disciples and experts in the Celestial Burial Academy heard this urgent bell sound.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Salvation Bell! The Salvation Bell has rung!¡±


    ¡°What major incident has urred!¡±


    All the strong ones in the Celestial Burial Academy were immensely rmed, even ancient ancestors like the God of Asura were disturbed.


    Because if it weren¡¯t a momentous issue, the Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s Salvation Bell would not have been struck.


    One ring already signified a significant issue, let alone ten.


    ¡°A major incident has happened!¡± Ji Wudi also ceased his Sword Dao engagement with Yang Xiaotian and hurriedly emerged from his cave dwelling, only to see beams of light shooting up into the sky at the Celestial Burial Academy.


    It was the academy¡¯s ancient ancestors hastening towards the Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s grand hall.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go too!¡± Ji Wudi immediately took Yang Xiaotian and soared towards the Celestial Burial Academy¡¯s grand hall.


    Ji Wudi would not emerge for anything less than a significant issue, but now that the Salvation Bell had tolled ten times, even Ji Wudi was stirred.


    Soon after, Ji Wudi and Yang Xiaotian arrived at the grand hall of the Celestial Burial Academy to find the God of Asura, a host of ancient ancestors, and Wang Qing all already present.


    ¡°Lord Wudi!¡± Upon seeing Ji Wudi¡¯s arrival, everyone promptly bowed in salutation.


    Ji Wudi waved his hand, ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities.¡± Then he asked Wang Qing, ¡°What major incident has urred?¡±


    Wang Qing quickly replied, ¡°News from the Great Brahma Empire, the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha have struck, and the Fan Family has been destroyed.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± As soon as Wang Qing spoke, all ancient ancestors and elders present changed their expressions, including Ji Wudi, whose face flickered.


    The Fan Family was one of the longest-standing families on the Azure God Continent, vastly surpassing the strength and heritage of the Celestial Burial Academy. That such a formidable Fan Family was destroyed by the likes of the Undying Death God and Corpse Demon?


    This news was nothing short of astonishing.


    ¡°Not only the Fan family head and the elder patriarch perished inbat, but it is said that even the ancient ancestor Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God also fell in battle!¡± Wang Qing¡¯s voice trembled.


    On hearing that even the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God had perished in battle, everyone present drew a sharp breath.


    The Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God was already a Sword God a hundred thousand years ago, reigning supreme in that era, undefeated and peerless,parable to the likes of the Azure God Mansion¡¯s Sword God Xi Long, and now he had fallen in battle!


    This piece of news was simply too shocking.


    Although Ji Wudi was reputed to be the strongest overlord in the history of the Celestial Burial Academy, he still had some gapspared to an invincible Sword God like the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God from a hundred thousand years ago.


    On hearing the news, both Ji Wudi and Yang Xiaotian were deeply moved.


    ¡°The battle was extremely tragic, not only the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God perished, but even Lord Jian Jiu met his end too!¡± Wang Qing said with a heavy tone.


    Everyone was shaken once more.


    Jian Jiu was the most monstrously talented Sword Dao prodigy of the Fan Family ten thousand years ago, having created nine swords, sweeping across thends undefeated. Almost nobody could withstand all nine of his swords. He was as renowned as Ji Wudi and was also his close friend, but he, too, had fallen in battle!


    Upon hearing that his close friend Jian Jiu had fallen in battle, Ji Wudi couldn¡¯t help but be overwhelmed with grief.


    ¡°All the Divine Spirit Realm experts of the Fan Family have fallen in battle!¡± Wang Qing said with a mournful voice.


    He had also been close friends with an ancient ancestor from the Fan Family, and that friend had fallen as well.


    The great hall fell into silence.


    Into sorrow.


    Even powerful individuals such as the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and Jian Jiu had perished. If the Undying Death God and the four unparalleled demons like the Corpse Demon were to descend upon the Celestial Burial Academy, could the academy survive?


    I¡¯m afraid everyone present would die.


    I¡¯m afraid the Celestial Burial Academy would meet the same fate as the Fan Family.


    ¡°The news has already spread, and many empires on the Azure God Continent are aware,¡± Wang Qing said gravely, ¡°All the empires are in panic.¡±


    The Fan Family was second only to the Zeng Family in strength.


    If an entity as powerful as the Fan Family with such a strong foundation could be annihted, how could the Supreme Sects and families not be rmed? Now, everyone was fearful for themselves, silently praying that the Undying Death God would note for them.


    ¡°Did Jian Jiu leave aplete body?¡± asked Ji Wudi, sorrowfully.


    Wang Qing hesitated before saying, ¡°Lord Jian Jiu and the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God have beenpletely controlled by the Undying Death God and turned into Undying Wraiths. The Undying Death God used them to ughter the disciples of the Fan Family.¡±


    Ji Wudi shuddered upon hearing that his friend had been turned into an Undying Wraith.


    This was thest thing he wanted to see.


    If Jian Jiu had been killed by another expert, at least his reputation from life could be preserved. Now, being controlled by the Undying Death God and turned into an Undying Wraith, a tool for ughter under themand of the Undying Death God, his lifetime of renown was destroyed.


    Thinking of how his friend couldn¡¯t preserve his renown even in death, Ji Wudi said in grief and indignation, ¡°You all guard the Celestial Burial Academy well, I am going to the Great Brahma Empire.¡±


    ¡°Lord Wudi, I will go with you!¡± Yang Xiaotian quickly said.


    Ji Wudi was startled but then nodded, and so, the two of them soared into the sky.


    As they passed by Peach Blossom Peak, Yang Xiaotian roared, ¡°Old Ape, something¡¯s happened, let¡¯s go!¡±


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape shot up into the sky, closely following behind Yang Xiaotian.


    Ji Wudi couldn¡¯t help but take another look at the Heartfelt Demon Ape; he already knew that the old ape following Yang Xiaotian was that individual from Demon Ape Ridge.


    ¡°Lord Wudi, you should ride my spaceship over,¡± suggested Yang Xiaotian, taking out the Abyssal Spaceship as he spoke.


    ¡°A divine-level spaceship!¡± Ji Wudi was quite surprised to see Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spaceship.


    Even his spaceship wasn¡¯t of divine level.


    Where did Yang Xiaotian get it?


    Since the Abyssal Spaceship hadpletely concealed the essence of the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc, even Ji Wudi could not sense the presence of the Abyssal Master and the Deep Sea Demon Roc, only recognizing that the spaceship before him was of divine level.


    Thus, the three of them rode on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spaceship and rushed toward the Great Brahma Empire at high speed.


    n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    While the three of them were heading to the Great Brahma Empire, a great number of powerful individuals from the Azure God Continent were also rushing there.


    The Fan Family had been destroyed, and many of the Divine Spirit Realm experts from the Fan Family had been corrupted by the Undying Death Qi and turned into Undying Wraiths, ughtering experts from all ns and sects within the Great Brahma Empire, prompting many experts to head to the empire to offer support.


    Of course, more sects and families were fleeing the Great Brahma Empire with their disciples.


    Currently, the Great Brahma Empire was in a state of bloodshed and chaos.


    Yang Xiaotian thought of Fan Wuyan, the Son of Fan of this generation in the Fan Family. With the Fan Family destroyed, as the Son of Fan, one could imagine the sorrow and pain in his heart.

 Chapter 432: 432: Assaulting the Fan Family

    Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Assaulting the Fan Family


    Under the full force of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s control, the Abyssal Spaceship transformed into a streak of high-speed light, continually slicing through the void, closing in on the Great Brahma Empire.


    Along the way, Ji Wudi stood at the bow of the spaceship, not uttering a word.


    His body was surrounded by Sword Qi that sometimes surged, sometimes raged fiercely, like the wind, and asionally like startling thunder.


    Yang Xiaotian did not disturb Ji Wudi, choosing instead to sit cross-legged in the practice room within the spaceship to cultivate.


    During his time in Ji Wudi¡¯s cave mansion, Yang Xiaotian had immensely benefited from their exchange of insights on the Sword Dao. His understanding of the Samsara Sword Path was nowplete, and he showed signs of forming the fifteenth Sword Heart.


    As Yang Xiaotian contemted, his Sword Qi, much like Ji Wudi¡¯s, surged like rivers, raged like giant waves, breezed gently, and cracked like thunder.


    As Yang Xiaotian continued his contemtion, his Sword Qi became increasingly astonishing. Ji Wudi, who had been standing at the bow of the spaceship, was surprised by what he saw in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s practice room and then showed a look of gratification and awe.


    Besides pondering the Sword Dao, Yang Xiaotian also didn¡¯t forget to persist in cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, striving to enhance his cultivation and vitality.


    No matter how powerful the Sword Dao and Divine Skills are, it¡¯s useless if one¡¯s cultivation does not advance.


    Take Du Hongqing, for example. If he were of the Emperor Realm, it would not have been possible for him to fail to receive even one of my strikes.<div>


    As Yang Xiaotian consumed high-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills and Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, his cultivation gradually approached thete stages of the Venerable Realm.


    His vitality, too, was steadily increasing.


    Time passed.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions reached the Great Brahma Empire.


    Upon entering the Great Brahma Empire, they saw figures from various sects and families flying in a panic everywhere they looked.


    Although the Empire Army and many major sects and family ns had already reinforced the Great Brahma Empire, the number of Undying Wraiths was simply too great to bepletely eradicated.


    Even several of the reinforcing ns and sect experts were killed by these Undying Wraiths, bing Undying Wraiths themselves.


    Many cities had be wastnds.


    Many mountains and rivers were destroyed, leaving andscape unrecognizable.


    Seeing the devastated Great Brahma Empire, Yang Xiaotian felt a heavy heart.


    Back in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb, the four Undying Death Gods were severely wounded by Master Ding, but unexpectedly, their injuries healed so quickly that they managed to join forces and annihte the Fan Family in the blink of an eye.


    He had already learned that after destroying the Fan Family, the four Undying Death Gods had taken away the Fan Family Treasury.


    In the Fan Family Treasury, there were countless Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines.


    With all these Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines, the cultivation of the four Undying Death Gods would most likely increase again, and by then, they would be even more difficult to deal with.


    The closer the spaceship got to the Fan Family, the more Undying Wraiths they encountered.


    Yang Xiaotian simplymanded the spaceship to st these Death Spirits into oblivion.


    As Yang Xiaotian and hispanions approached the Fan Family, they encountered arge group of Undying Wraiths besieging the Fan Family experts. Among the besieged Fan Family experts, he recognized, to his surprise, Fan Wuyan.


    Yang Xiaotian swiftly had the Demon Ape take action and rescue Fan Wuyan and the others.


    When Fan Wuyan was saved by Yang Xiaotian, his eyes reddened with tears, and he cried, ¡°Xiaotian, my Fan Family has been destroyed, my father, my mother ¨C they have all died in battle!¡±<div>


    Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words on how tofort the grieving Fan Wuyan.


    After a long while, Fan Wuyan¡¯s emotions stabilized a bit.


    He and the other Fan Family experts expressed their gratitude and saved to Yang Xiaotian and hispanions.


    Upon recognizing the identity of Ji Wudi, Fan Wuyan and the others were excited and paid their respects.<div>


    ¡°Lord Wudi, I implore you to avenge our Lord Jian Jiu,¡± the Supreme Elder of the Fan Family, Fan Cheng, said with a choked voice.


    They knew that Ji Wudi was the close and good friend of their Lord Jian Jiu.


    ¡°I will,¡± Ji Wudi replied solemnly, nodding his head.


    However, the thought of the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha¡¯s strength filled Ji Wudi¡¯s heart with a sense of helplessness and futility.


    He was powerful, but the Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha were notorious monsters renowned since a hundred thousand years ago; even his close friend Jian Jiu had perished at their hands, how could he even speak of vengeance?


    ¡°Lord Wudi, my Fan Family still has ancestral treasures in the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds. I¡¯ve returned this time to inherit the Fan Family¡¯s ancestral treasure, and I beseech you to escort me into the Forbidden Grounds,¡± Fan Wuyan implored on his knees before Ji Wudi. ¡°If I can inherit the Fan Family¡¯s ancestral treasure, my Fan Family will surely never forget your great kindness!¡±


    Without much thought, Ji Wudi nodded and said, ¡°If that is the case, then let¡¯s storm into the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.¡±


    So, after rescuing Fan Wuyan and the others, the group continued deeper into Fan Family territory.


    Atst, the Fan Family¡¯s holdings came into distant view.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    However, the sky above and the ground around the Fan Family were teeming with Undying Wraiths, swarming thickly like horrifying flies, making it impossible to approach the Fan Family¡¯s estate.


    Yang Xiaotian powered the Abyssal Spaceship with all his might, charging straight into the fray.


    But the Death Spirits were far too numerous; as soon as the spaceship entered, it was inundated by endless legions of wraiths.


    Fortunately, with the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi around, otherwise, even with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Abyssal Spaceship, it would be impossible to prate deep into the army of Death Spirits.<div>


    Every swing of the Demon Ape¡¯s two iron chains, wraiths fell like flies, while Ji Wudi¡¯s Sword Qi was unrivaled; with a casual flick of his finger, millions ofyers of Sword Qi razed swathes of Death Spirits.


    Even so, with the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi present, when they reached the za in front of the Fan Family, progress became torturously slow, for there, Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits appeared. Though the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi could send the adversaries flying, killing them proved to be very difficult.


    And there were many of these Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits¡ªtens of them!


    The Demon Ape and Ji Wudi also felt the pressure.


    Suddenly, from the depths of the Fan Family, a Sword Qi infused with astonishing death power broke through the air, heading straight for the Demon Ape.


    The Demon Ape was taken aback, swinging its iron chain swiftly; demonic energy surged, crashing against the death-infused Sword Qi.


    To Yang Xiaotian and the others¡¯ surprise, the Demon Ape was actually forced to take several steps back.


    Looking towards the source, they saw a figure bursting forth from the depths of the Fan Family.


    Upon seeing the neer, Ji Wudi and Fan Wuyan, among others, changed their expressions.


    Because the arrival was none other than Jian Jiu!


    However, at this moment, Jian Jiu had beenpletely eroded by the Undying Death Qi, turned into a Death Spirit.


    Wrapped in Death Qi, Jian Jiu¡¯s Sword Qi became an ocean, his aura so formidable that even the Demon Ape¡¯s expression grew solemn.


    With eyes filled with the essence of death, Jian Jiu stepped forward, already before the spaceship with a thrust of his sword. Instantly, a skyful of Sword Qi rained down like a torrential storm upon everyone.<div>


    Ji Wudi¡¯s hand now held a longsword; with a sweep, he unleashed Endless Sword Qi, thwarting that strike.


    Even so, the spaceship was shaken by the force of both their Sword Qi and was sent flying backward.


    As Jian Jiu raised his sword for another attack, Ji Wudi faced his former friend withplexity in his heart, a mix of sorrow and rage, and stepped forward with his sword ready.


    Suddenly, several more terrifying Sword Qis struck from the depths of the Fan Family; a number of powerful Death Spirits had arrived.


    These powerful Death Spirits, who were the Fan Family¡¯s Ancient Ancestors in life, were not quite as strong as Jian Jiu, but they were not much weaker either.


    The Demon Ape¡¯splexion changed, and it urgently said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Young master, we should retreat first!¡±


    Moreover, it felt that an even stronger batch of Death Spirits were emerging from the depths of the Fan Family. If they didn¡¯t retreat now, they would struggle to escapeter.

 Chapter 433: 433 The Terrifying Demonic Qi of the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds

    Chapter 433: Chapter 433 The Terrifying Demonic Qi of the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds


    Yang Xiaotian saw this and could only drive the flying ship to retreat.


    After all, he did not want to expose Master Ding¡¯s secret in front of Fan Wuyan and the others.


    Moreover, the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was diminished with each use, and he wanted to save it for dealing with the Undying Death God and hispanions.


    In the end, Ji Wudi and the Demon Ape covered their retreat, and everyone fought as they withdrew.


    Empowered by the strength of his two Divine Elixirs, Yang Xiaotian sted away at an unknown number of Death Spirits, and finally, the group broke through the encirclement. Yang Xiaotian steered the flying ship back the way they came. Fortunately, Jian Jiu and the ancient ancestors of the Fan Family did not pursue them, as they seemed to be guarding something.


    Looking back, Yang Xiaotian saw an endless sea of Death Spirits surrounding the Fan Family, suddenly emitting a sharp, grating noise that formed a terrifying sound wave, piercing straight into the mind, causing headaches to the point of splitting.


    Luckily, the flying ship¡¯s protective ward shielded them, otherwise, it would have been difficult for everyone to retreat safely.


    After retreating a good distance, Yang Xiaotian stopped the flying ship on top of an Uninhabited Peak.


    Fan Wuyan sat in a corner, his face filled with disappointment and his eyes devoid of spirit.


    ¡°Are you sure your family¡¯s heirloom treasure is still intact?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked pensively.<div>


    Fan Wuyan confidently replied, ¡°I am certain! Because only the sessor in each generation of my family can inherit the heirloom treasure, no one else can.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I am spiritually connected to it, and I¡¯m sure it¡¯s still there.¡±


    Then, with a pleading look, Fan Wuyan said, ¡°Xiaotian, if you can help me retrieve my family¡¯s heirloom treasure, I will be forever grateful.¡± He clenched his teeth and added, ¡°I know you are looking for Divine me, Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and Divine Grade elixirs. Our Fan Family possesses both the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Divine Grade elixirs.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised; the Fan Family actually had Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and Divine Grade elixirs.


    ¡°I heard that the Undying Death God has already taken away your family¡¯s treasury,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Fan Wuyan shook his head, ¡°The Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and the Divine Grade elixirs are not in the Fan Family Treasury.¡± He continued, ¡°If you help me retrieve my family¡¯s heirloom treasure, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and that Divine Grade elixir.¡±


    ¡°However, we don¡¯t have much Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, only about three doses.¡±


    ¡°That Divine Grade elixir was refined by the Ancient Thousand Buddhas Medicine God.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian agreed on the spot: ¡°Fine, I will help you retrieve your family¡¯s heirloom treasure.¡±


    Ji Wudi saw that Yang Xiaotian was about to enter the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds and frowned, ¡°Xiaotian, this is too dangerous.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian reassured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lord Wudi, I have a way to enter the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.¡± He then inquired about the detailed location of the heirloom treasure from Fan Wuyan.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian employed his Life-Bound Soul Skill of Space Concealment and had Master Ding shield his aura before tearing through the sky and departing.


    Ji Wudi was astonished to find that he couldn¡¯t sense Yang Xiaotian¡¯s presence, wondering if Yang Xiaotian possessed a true Divine-Level artifact capable of concealing his aura; otherwise, it would be impossible for even him not to detect it.


    Fan Wuyan, Fan Cheng, and the others apparently came to the same conclusion as Ji Wudi, thinking that Yang Xiaotian had a Divine-Level artifact capable of concealing his presence.


    The once-hopeless Fan Wuyan couldn¡¯t help but feel a glimmer of hope.


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength increased, his Life-Bound Soul Skill of Space Concealment grew stronger, merging with the space around him during flight, causing no disturbance to the space at all.


    With Master Ding concealing his aura, he effortlessly passed through the legions of Death Spirits and returned to the za in front of the Fan Family.


    Seeing dozens of Divine Spirit Realm Death Spirits guarding the area, Yang Xiaotian was a bit nervous, but with Master Ding¡¯s protection, he passed by them without incident and entered the Fan Family grounds.


    Inside, there were fewer Death Spirits.<div>


    On asion, he encountered a Death Spirit who was once an ancient ancestor tasked with protecting the Fan Family, but now, they had all been turned into Death Spirits.


    Looking at these ancient ancestors, who once defended the Fan Family but now served the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian felt a profound sense of mncholy.


    The Fan Family territory was vast, with countless buildings.


    But pce after pce was destroyed.<div>


    Some of these pces, even those left from ancient times with the Fan Family¡¯s ancient powerhouses¡¯ seals imprinted on them, were now also sted to ruins by the Undying Death God.


    The ground, everywhere, was pitted with terrifying deep pits.


    For an ancient family with a heritage from antiquity like the Fan Family, the ground had been tempered through a thousand trials, hardly destructible even by Divine Spirits, but now, under the power of the Undying Death God, it had been bombarded beyond recognition.


    Although he had not witnessed the fierce battle between the great powers of the Fan family and the Undying Death God, Corpse Demons, the sight was enough to imagine how extremely brutal and earth-shattering the fight had been.


    Finally, he arrived deep within the Fan Family grounds.


    Yang Xiaotian saw Jian Jiu again.


    Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses, once corrupted by the Undying Death Qi, retained their intelligence even if they turned into Death Spirits, so seeing Jian Jiu guarding the way, Yang Xiaotian was extremely cautious.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian safely bypassed Jian Jiu and flew towards the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.


    Upon reaching the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds, Yang Xiaotian became even more cautious.


    He saw in the Forbidden Grounds of the Fan Family, two figures standing tall.


    Each of these two figures was far more terrifying than Jian Jiu.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the two figures with surprise and apprehension. One of them was undoubtedly the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God who had dominated an era with his sword a hundred thousand years ago.


    But who was the other person?<div>


    The other person¡¯s aura was not only no weaker than the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God¡¯s but even stronger.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Apart from the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God, the Fan Family actually had such a powerful Ancient Ancestor!


    And this person had also died in battle!


    Having seen the Undying Death God sted away twice by Master Ding, Yang Xiaotian had somewhat underestimated the Undying Death God, but now, he truly realized the horror of the Undying Death God.


    An ancient family as powerful as the Fan Family had been annihted by the Undying Death God.


    The Fan Family had nearly two hundred Divine Spirits, and even with invincible swordsmen like the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God, and the ancient powerhouses¡¯ seals, they could not stop the Undying Death God.


    This showed the strength of the Undying Death God.


    However, Yang Xiaotian was puzzled as to why the Undying Death God would have people like the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and Jian Jiu still guarding the Fan Family.


    It seemed as if the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God was waiting for something within the Forbidden Grounds to emerge.


    What exactly was it that required the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and Jian Jiu to stand guard?


    Though puzzled, Yang Xiaotian did not forget his main task, so he bypassed the two guardians of the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and arrived at a certain spot within the Forbidden Grounds, where he found the inheritance treasure spoken of by Fan Wuyan.


    The Fan Family¡¯s inheritance treasure was ced within a treasure box.


    Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate; he immediately took the treasure box, then bypassed the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and returned the way he came.<div>


    However, not long after Yang Xiaotian left the Fan Family, suddenly, heaven and earth trembled, and a terrifying surge of Demonic Qi rose from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds. The horrific Demonic Qi spread at an rming rate, sweeping over and covering more and more territory, forming ink-colored Demonic Clouds that envelopedrge swathes of thend.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    How could such terrifying Demonic Qi emanate from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds?


    Could it be rted to what the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God and the others were guarding?


    Yang Xiaotian immediately turned back to investigate.

 Chapter 434: 434: The Ancient Demon

    Chapter 434: Chapter 434: The Ancient Demon


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to return to the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds to see what was happening, suddenly, a heaven-shaking boom resounded, followed by a beast¡¯s roar that shook heaven and earth.


    Yang Xiaotian turned his head abruptly, his face changing color; that roar belonged to the Demon Ape.


    Something had happened at the Demon Ape¡¯s location!


    He could not care about anything else and hurried back to where the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi were.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    As Yang Xiaotian rushed back, the demonic Qi from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds became more and more terrifying. A sharp howl issued from the Forbidden Grounds, its intensity so great that itpletely overpowered the sharp wails of the countless Death Spirits.


    Yang Xiaotian turned his head, his expression grave.


    Given the terrifying demonic Qi and the howl just now from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds, there was most certainly an ancient demon of peerless power being born, and the strength of this demon might even surpass that of the Corpse Demon.


    It might even beparable to the Undying Death God.


    Who could it be?


    Could it be a demon from the ancient times?<div>


    Which ancient demon could it be?


    Were the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds actually sealing an unparalleled demon?


    The Undying Death God and the Corpse Demonid waste to the Fan Family, likely not just for the Fan Family¡¯s treasure vault but also for the ancient demon sealed within the Forbidden Grounds.


    At that moment, in the direction of the Demon Ape, an invincible Sword Qi shot into the sky, and destructive forces kept transmitting from there, indicating that the Demon Ape and Ji Wudi were under siege by formidable enemies.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian still decided to return to the direction of the Demon Ape.


    Since the Undying Death God had already freed that ancient demon, there was no point in him returning.


    Yang Xiaotian quickly arrived at the location of the Demon Ape, Ji Wudi, and the others, only to see the Demon Ape, Ji Wudi, and the rest being heavily besieged by the Undying Wraith and endless abominations.


    Several of the Fan Family¡¯s experts had already fallen, clearly killed by the Death Spirits and abominations.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hesitate any longer, steering the Abyssal Spaceship at full speed, plowing through the Death Spirits to reach the Demon Ape, Ji Wudi, Fan Wuyan, and the others.


    ¡°Quick, everyone onboard!¡± Yang Xiaotian shouted.


    The Demon Ape, Ji Wudi, Fan Wuyan, and the others, seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, were all exhrated and quickly jumped aboard the ship.


    Once everyone was aboard, Yang Xiaotian drove the spaceship, breaking through the countless Death Spirits and abominations, and flew away into the sky.


    At full speed of the Abyssal Spaceship, they soon left the Death Spirits and abominations far behind, eventually disappearing from sight.


    A sense of relief washed over everyone.


    ¡°Xiaotian, what¡¯s the situation?¡± Fan Wuyan couldn¡¯t help but ask Yang Xiaotian with a look of anticipation, referring to the Fan Family¡¯s treasured inheritance.


    ¡°Mission aplished, I¡¯ve got it,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, then took out the treasured box.


    Seeing the treasured box, Fan Wuyan and the other Fan Family experts all showed excited and delighted expressions.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Fan Wuyan said excitedly, taking the treasured box with trembling hands.


    Afterward, using secret techniquesbined with the special bloodline power he possessed as Son of Fan, Fan Wuyan opened the seal on the treasured box and took out two jade bottles.<div>


    ¡°Brother Yang, inside these two jade bottles are the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water and the Divine Level Elixir you were looking for,¡± he said with a look of gratitude.


    Upon hearing that the two jade bottles contained the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water and a Divine Level Elixir, Yang Xiaotian immediately opened them with joy, and at once, thunderous energy rose and the fragrance of the Elixir was as vast as the sea.


    Indeed, as Fan Wuyan had said, inside the jade bottles was about three mouthfuls of Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, and the Divine Level Elixir was a Thousand Buddha Divine Pill refined by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.


    The Divine Pill had a thousand Buddha shadows; just by smelling it, one¡¯s spiritual tform was cleansed, and all the internal organs were soothed.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian carefully stored the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water and the Thousand Buddha Divine Pill.


    With this Thousand Buddha Divine Pill, the Life God Tree should be able to grow Life God Fruits again, and there might be more than one this time.


    ¡°If he could just get one more Life God Fruit, he would be able to breakthrough three hundred and sixty-five meridian points in one fell swoop.¡±


    ¡°At that time, the third invocation of the Heavenly Nectar would take ce.¡±


    ¡°Martial artists have only one thousand two hundred and ny-six meridian points in total, so they can at most continuously breakthrough three hundred and sixty-five meridian points three times.¡±


    ¡°Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian began to tell everyone about the terrifying Demonic Qi in the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds.¡±


    ¡°Upon hearing this, Demon Ape and Ji Wudi were both shocked.¡±


    ¡°Our Fan Family Forbidden Grounds have sealed away an ancient demon?¡± Fan Wuyan asked in surprise and disbelief.


    ¡°The Supreme Elders and Elders of the Fan Family looked at each other, equally unaware of this matter.¡±


    ¡°The deepest part of the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds is where Lord Fan Tian and Lord Wujing cultivated; we haven¡¯t heard that the Forbidden Grounds have sealed away any ancient demon,¡± said Fan Cheng, one of the Fan Family¡¯s Supreme Elders, shaking his head.


    ¡°Lord Wujing?¡± Ji Wudi was surprised.


    ¡°Fan Wujing was an extremely powerful Ancient God from the ancient times of the Fan Family, even preceding the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God.¡±


    Fan Cheng nodded, ¡°In fact, Lord Wujing has always been guarding the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds; it¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t appeared in the world for many years, unknown to outsiders. But now, both Lord Wujing and Lord Fan Tian have already¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t finish his sentence, his eyes reddening.<div>


    All the experts of the Fan Family couldn¡¯t help but feel sorrowful.


    Fan Wujing? Yang Xiaotian thought of the man standing with the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God; it seemed that he was the ancient god Fan Wujing of the Fan Family.


    Yang Xiaotian was somewhat familiar with Fan Wujing, a contemporary of the Overlord of the Gods, the Undying Evil Venerable, and the Corpse Demon, and as renowned as they were.


    Thinking of the ancient demon that emerged from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds, Yang Xiaotian felt heavyhearted.


    The Undying Death God and the Undefeated Nether God were already causing panic across the Azure God Continent, and now with an additional ancient demon, the continent would undeniably be plunged into further chaos.


    This made Yang Xiaotian increasingly aware of his ownck of strength.


    Although he had Master Ding¡¯s assistance, that was ultimately an external force.


    Only his own strength was fundamental.


    If he could step into the Divine Spirit Realm, he would not fear either the Undying Death God or the Undefeated Nether God.


    Yang Xiaotian pondered when he could step into the Divine Spirit Realm, while Fan Wuyan and the others were preupied with the fall of the Fan Family. For a moment, the Abyssal Spaceship fell silent.


    ¡°Friend Yang, I need to make a trip back to the Celestial Burial Academy first,¡± after a while, Ji Wudi, the Sword Ancestor, spoke up.


    Since he couldn¡¯t change what had happened to the Fan Family, he needed to rush back to the Celestial Burial Academy and discuss countermeasures with the ancient ancestors there.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯lle to seek out seniorter,¡± said Yang Xiaotian with a fist salute.<div>


    The members of the Fan Family also bowed respectfully to see off Ji Wudi.


    Not long after Ji Wudi left, the Fan Family¡¯s experts also excused themselves and departed; clearly, Fan Wuyan intended to find a secluded ce to ept the inheritance of the Fan Family¡¯s treasures.


    After the members of the Fan Family left, Yang Xiaotian took out the Thousand Buddha Divine Pill and fed it directly to the Life God Tree.


    He then found a hidden spot and waited for the Life God Fruit to ripen.


    Two dayster, after consuming the Thousand Buddha Divine Pill, the Life God Tree finally bore two Life God Fruits.


    Yang Xiaotian immediately consumed one of them and began cultivating.


    He urgently needed to enhance his strength now; with these two Life God Fruits, could he possibly elevate his power to the tenthyer of the Venerable Realm?


    Under the operation of the Primordial Dragon Art, the medicinal power of the Life God Fruit was continuously refined, and Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Yuan steadily increased while his vitality surged even more.


    Finally, after fully refining the Life God Fruit, his vitality had skyrocketed to an astonishing forty thousand li, and Yang Xiaotian began to breakthrough the seven hundred and thirty-first meridian point.


    Then came the seven hundred and thirty-second.


    One after another, the meridian points were opened and activated.

 Chapter 435: 435: Eternal Divine Body

    Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Eternal Divine Body


    Soon, all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints were pierced through.


    When Yang Xiaotian once again pierced through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, three hundred and sixty-five golden light pirs reappeared between heaven and earth.


    Above the firmament, holes were sted open one by one.


    As if a golden rain of heavenly nectar descended once more.


    The air was fragrant with the scents of heaven and earth.


    As if billions of flowers bloomed at the same time.


    The air around Yang Xiaotian was filled with an unusual fragrance.


    Under this exotic fragrance, the Demon Ape¡¯s pores opened wide, and he inhaled deeply, motherfucker, that was the fragrance of the divine nectar from ancient myths, each breath was precious, he would inhale it for a whole day.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian absorbed the heavenly nectar, while the Demon Ape, at a distance, frantically sucked in the air, inhaling without exhaling.


    One dayter, the heavenly nectar disappeared.<div>


    The Demon Ape had been frantically sucking the air for a whole day.


    ¡°So full!¡±


    ¡°Who knew breathing air could make one feel full!¡±


    After sucking air for the entire day, the Demon Ape¡¯s belly was all bloated.


    After absorbing the heavenly nectar, Yang Xiaotian continued to consume the second Life God Fruit for cultivation.


    Not until Yang Xiaotian hadpletely refined the second Life God Fruit did he stop.


    The originallyte eighth stage Venerable Realm Yang Xiaotian, after refining two Life God Fruits, finally broke through to the early stages of the tenth Venerable Realm as expected.


    And his vitality surged once again, reaching an astonishing forty-three thousand li.


    This vitality was truly terrifying, because even many peak Great Emperor powerhouses did not possess such dreadful vitality.


    After absorbing the heavenly nectar for the third time, Yang Xiaotian noticed that his flesh, internal organs, and viscera had undergone another transformation, emitting a light of eternal time.


    After the Demon Ape digested the air in its stomach, it came over and saw the change in Yang Xiaotian, shaking with shock, ¡°Is this? The Eternal of Time? Holy shit, young master, is your body going to transform into an Eternal Divine Body?¡±


    The Eternal Divine Body is the most supreme Divine Body in heaven and earth.


    This kind of Divine Body, ording to legend, controlled the power of time, eternal and ageless, immortal and indestructible, defying the heavens to the utmost.


    Because even existences that surpassed Divine Spirits could not be eternally ageless and immortal, just like the Lord of Azure God, when his lifespan was exhausted, he too had a day when he would grow old and die.


    But the Eternal Divine Body would not.


    It would not die.


    However, although the Eternal Divine Body had been recorded, it had only appeared once from ancient times to the present.


    The legend says that the Heaven and Earth Dominator was the Eternal Divine Body.


    Only the Heaven and Earth Dominator possessed the Eternal Divine Body.<div>


    Even someone as powerful as the Lord of Azure God, or even Divine Master Hong Feng, did not have the Eternal Divine Body.


    It was for this reason that the Demon Ape trembled.


    Seeing his own flesh and organs suffused with the light of eternal time, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t think too much. Hearing the Demon Ape talk about the Eternal Divine Body, he too was startled, ¡°Eternal Divine Body?¡±


    The Demon Ape, extremely excited, ¡°That¡¯s right, the Eternal Divine Body, young master¡¯s body actually has the aura of eternal time, sooner orter you will be able to cultivate into an Eternal Divine Body!¡±<div>


    Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body now had the aura of eternal time, it was not yet an Eternal Divine Body.


    But at least there was hope, a chance.


    An Eternal Divine Body, huh? Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes gleamed with different colors.


    Just as the Demon Ape said, perhaps he really might be able to cultivate an Eternal Divine Body in the future.


    Yang Xiaotian exhales deeply and stands up.


    Now, he had pierced a total of one thousand and ny-five acupoints, with only two hundred and one acupoints left to be pierced. Once he pierced through the remaining two hundred and one acupoints, he would have opened all the acupoints in his body.


    When all his acupoints were prated, by then, he would be able to store True Yuan in all his acupoints, and his True Yuan would be terrifyingly immense.


    It was to be feared that many of the Great Emperors at the seventh and eighthyers wouldn¡¯t possess True Yuan as profound as his.


    He, a mere Venerable Realm cultivator, possessed True Yuan thicker than many Great Emperors at the seventh and eighthyers, which was astonishing to imagine.


    Next, he would once again umte vital energy and prate the remaining two hundred and one acupoints.


    Once all acupoints were prated, he could once again induce the Heavenly Nectar to descend.


    By then, he would be able to absorb the dew from heaven once more.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re returning to the Imperial Capital!¡± Yang Xiaotian soared into the sky and, apanied by the Demon Ape, rushed back to the Myriad Gods Empire¡¯s Imperial Capital.<div>


    On the way back to the Imperial Capital, they learned that the Azure God Mansion¡¯s great army had already vanquished the Death Spirits of the Great Brahma Empire, and almost all of the Fan Family¡¯s Death Spirits had been in.


    However, during this battle, the Azure God Mansion¡¯s great army lost many powerful beings, including more than ten from the Divine Spirit Realm.


    Moreover, in the end, the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God, Fan Wujing, Jian Jiu, and several other powerful Ancient Ancestors from the Fan Family managed to escape.


    Although almost all of the Fan Family¡¯s Death Spirits had been suppressed, after this battle, the Azure God Continent was enveloped by a dense shadow.


    All empires, families, and Sects were overshadowed by this darkness.


    Because no one knew which family or Sect would be the next target of the Undying Death God.


    And this time, the Nether Sect had not appeared.


    If the Nether Sect had be involved, the consequences would have been even more severe.


    Throughout the journey, Yang Xiaotian observed that many cities had their gates tightly shut, withrge armies on patrol, ready for a serious encounter.


    When he arrived at the Myriad Gods Empire, he found its border garrison to be densely packed, the numbers having increased manyfold.


    After a swift journey, Yang Xiaotian finally arrived at the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    The Imperial City¡¯s defenses were even more stringent, with armiesyer uponyer, and whoever entered or exited the city gates had to undergo thorough screening.


    Even after Yang Xiaotian showed his identity que as a disciple of the Azure God Academy, he still underwent twoyers of inspections before entering the Imperial City.<div>


    Within the Imperial City, there were significantly fewer pedestrians.


    Gone was the bustle of the past.


    It was now deep autumn.


    The por trees lining the streets were golden yellow.


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Residence Manor, he saw from afar that everyone from the manor was waiting for him at the main entrance.


    ¡°Big brother!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er, seeing Yang Xiaotian from a distance, waved her hands and called out joyfully, her pretty face brimming with delight as she ran toward him.


    This time, as Yang Xiaotian had been gone for several months, Yang Ling¡¯er, along with Yang Chao, Huang Ying, Xiao Jin, and others, had already been brought to the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Yang Chao, Huang Ying, Xiao Jin, Elder Wu, Luo Qing, and others quickly approached him.


    Yang Xiaotian also revealed a smile upon seeing everyone.


    Yang Ling¡¯er was still donning two long braids; as she ran over, her braids swayed from side to side. When she got in front of Yang Xiaotian, this time she didn¡¯t hug him like before¡ªperhaps she had grown up and be shy¡ªshe simply held Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand and said with sheer joy, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back just in time, it¡¯s my birthday soon!¡±


    ¡°What birthday gift will you give me this time?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at his sister, who now stood over six meters tall, and couldn¡¯t help breaking into a sweat¡ªthis girl was clearly thinking about her birthday gift.


    ¡°What gift do you want?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile.<div>


    Yang Ling¡¯er said with a smile, ¡°I want an unbeatable brother!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was startled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Everyone elseughed heartily.


    ¡°Father, Mother,¡± Yang Xiaotian greeted Yang Chao and Huang Ying with a smile.


    Yang Chao nodded with a smile, and Huang Ying said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back.¡±


    The destruction of the Fan Family in the Great Brahma Empire was something even she had heard about, and in these past days, she had been constantly worried about her son¡¯s safety.

 Chapter 436: 436: Jun Xiaoyaos Breakthrough

    Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Jun Xiaoyao¡¯s Breakthrough


    Subsequently, amid the joyous cheers of the crowd, Yang Xiaotian was escorted into the Divine Residence.


    The Divine Mansion looked almost the same as it had when he left. Upon entering, real mountains, pavilions, pces, spirit flowers and spirit trees, and incessant flowing waterfalls could be seen. In the sunlight, the waterfalls were crystal clear and dazzling.


    After bypassing the mountains, the verdant ins and the pces at the edge of the ins were refreshing and pleasing to the eye.


    However, after months of reconstruction, one hundred Saint Realm masters from the Dwarf n had utilized the sparend to construct three hundred and sixty-five pces.


    Each member of the Dwarf n was a master smith, and the three hundred and sixty-five pces they built were works of art, magnificent and in no way inferior to the original three hundred and sixty-five pces constructed by the Lord of the Divine.


    From then on, the masters of the Dwarf Tribe were seated there.


    Still, there was a lot of sparend in the Divine Mansion, so Yang Xiaotian had the Dwarf masters continue to build more pceplexes.


    Each pceplex was neither too big nor too small, all constructed in clusters of three hundred and sixty-five pces to form the number of the Grand Cirction.


    Moreover, theyout and pattern of the pceplexes were almost identical to the original pces built by the Lord of the Divine.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian returned, Man Fang, the Dwarf n Leader, came to express his troubles about the building materials, which were now impossible to buy. To continue building the next set of pces, they were still short of materials.<div>


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I instruct you to purchase materials before?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°We purchased a lot, but some materials are scarce, and the East Emperor Commerce Association simply refuses to sell.¡± Man Fang said.


    ¡°As for materials, I¡¯ll think of a solution,¡± Yang Xiaotian pondered aloud.


    ¡°How is the elixir refining going?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°As Master instructed, we have been refining elixirs day and night.¡± Man Fang hurriedly said, then reported to Yang Xiaotian about the alchemy situation.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the intelligence on the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The intelligencework concerning the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor had already been organized. They had gathered many useful pieces of information; however, they still had no news about other Divine mes or the ninthyer of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    ¡°Although we have not learned any news about divine-level elixirs, we have learned of divine medicine waste,¡± said the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    He knew that their young master needed divine medicine waste as well.


    ¡°Divine medicine waste.¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian immediately perked up.


    Now, with one more Life God Fruit, he would be able to unlock all of his remaining acupoints.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor quickly said, ¡°We have learned that the Myriad Gods Imperial n has recruited the Medicine God Feng Yiming and often provides him with herbs to refine divine-level elixirs.¡±


    ¡°So many years have passed; the Myriad Gods Imperial n must have a lot of divine medicine waste.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Well done,¡± then gave a Saint-level elixir to the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor bowed deeply and thanked Yang Xiaotian.


    After the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor left, Yang Xiaotian mused to himself, ¡°The Medicine God Feng Yiming.¡±


    The name of the Medicine God Feng Yiming was well-known throughout the Azure God Continent, resounding like thunder.


    When he first joined the Empire Alchemy Hall of the Divine Dragon Empire, he had already heard the name of Medicine God Feng Yiming.


    Medicine God Feng Yiming could be said to be recognized as the number one medicinal expert on the Azure God Continent.<div>


    Even Li Nian, the Medicine God of the Divine Mansion, was slightly inferior to Feng Yiming in the field of alchemy.


    Countless pharmacists on the Azure God Continent held immense admiration for Medicine God Feng Yiming.


    That evening, the Divine Residence hosted a banquet to celebrate the return of Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape.


    The next day.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian returned to the Azure God Academy and then found Princess Wan Ning of the Myriad Gods.


    Princess Wan Ning was overjoyed to see Yang Xiaotian.


    Ever since Yang Xiaotian had rescued her from the Sea of Stars, she often thought back to being besieged by the three great masters of the Demon Sect in the Sea of Stars.


    Each time she remembered the fear, and every time she thought of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s appearance, it brought her joy and warmth.


    Her life and the lives of Elder Yan and the others were all given by Yang Xiaotian.


    These days, she had been looking forward to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s return.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang, you¡¯re back!¡± Princess Wan Ning said with a smile, unable to hide the delight in her eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, ¡°I came back yesterday.¡±


    Hearing that Yang Xiaotian hade back yesterday and visited her today, Princess Wan Ning¡¯s heart felt even sweeter. Then she invited Yang Xiaotian into her cave abode to sit, and she busily poured tea for him, saying with a smile, ¡°This is the Dragon Tree Tea nted by my imperial father, give it a try.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took a sip, his body felt warm, and his mouth and nose were filled with the aroma, ¡°Delicious.¡±


    Hearing this, Princess Wan Ningughed, ¡°If Junior Brother Yang likes it, I have a lot here. I¡¯ll pack some for you.¡± Having said that, she packed arge bag of Dragon Tree Tea for Junior Brother Yang.


    Yang Xiaotian epted the Dragon Tree Tea and said, ¡°Actually, I came here today because there is something I¡¯d like to ask for your help with.¡±


    Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian needed a favor, Princess Wan Ning smiled, ¡°Just say the word, Junior Brother Yang. If it¡¯s within my power, I will certainly help.¡±<div>


    She was eager to help Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian did not stand on ceremony and stated the purpose of his visit.


    ¡°Divine Medicine dregs?¡± Princess Wan Ning was taken aback, not expecting Yang Xiaotian to want some Divine Medicine dregs from Pharmacist Feng Yiming. After her initial surprise, she hesitated, ¡°Junior Brother Yang might not know, but Master Feng has an entric temperament, and since his status is extraordinary, sometimes he doesn¡¯t even give face to my imperial father.¡±


    ¡°Unless our ancestral figure gets involved.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised and pondered, ¡°If it¡¯s that troublesome, then let¡¯s forget it. I¡¯ll think of another way.¡±


    He did not want to put Princess Wan Ning in a difficult position.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Princess Wan Ning quickly shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s not too much trouble. I¡¯ll go back and speak with our ancestral figure. With that involvement, it will definitely be possible.¡± Then she smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Last time, Junior Brother Yang, you saved me and Elder Yan and the others; our ancestral figure and my imperial father want to see you personally to thank you.¡±


    ¡°Our ancestral figure said, when you return, they definitely want to invite you to the Imperial Pce for a visit.¡±


    As she spoke, sheughed, ¡°There¡¯s going to be a grand banquet at the Imperial Pce at the end of the year, and I¡¯d like to invite Junior Brother to attend. Will you be avable?¡±


    After finishing, she looked at Yang Xiaotian with hopeful eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Senior Sister. Alright, just have someone notify me when it¡¯s time.¡±


    Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s agreement, Princess Wan Ning¡¯s smile blossomed sweetly like a field of flowers, ¡°Great, then it¡¯s settled.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian stayed a while longer then took his leave.<div>


    Princess Wan Ning personally escorted Yang Xiaotian out, waiting until his figure disappeared before she returned to her cave abode. Momentster, she took to the sky and flew back toward the Imperial Capital.


    After returning to his own mountain peak, Yang Xiaotian did not go anywhere else, and instead cultivated in his cave abode, further delving into the mastery of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sword, Divine Shadow Sword, Eternal Night Sword, and the Sword of Azure God, to see if he could condense the fifteenth Sword Heart.


    A day passed quickly.


    As Yang Xiaotian was cultivating, suddenly in the Core Disciple area, the cave abode of Sword Jun, Jun Xiaoyao, was filled with a surging glow, and incredible heavenly forces constantly flowed into his dwelling.


    ¡°It¡¯s the power of Heaven and Earth! Elder Brother Jun Xiaoyao has seeded in breaking through one hundred and twenty meridian points, drawing the power of Heaven and Earth to temper his body!¡±


    ¡°Elder Brother Jun deserves to be the academy¡¯s top disciple. This is the second time he¡¯s broken through one hundred and twenty meridian points in one go! To draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth for body tempering twice, that¡¯s just too powerful!¡±


    ¡°Elder Brother Jun had already broken through three hundred and seventy meridian points before, and now with another one hundred and twenty, isn¡¯t that four hundred and ny meridian points in total!¡±


    ¡°In this uing academypetition, Elder Brother Jun will undoubtedly be first!¡±

 Chapter 437: 437 Emperor Master

    Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Emperor Master


    Seeing Jun Xiaoyao once again breakthrough one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to temper his body, Xie Buhui¡¯s face darkened.


    Originally, he thought he could overpower Jun Xiaoyao this time and take first ce in the academy¡¯s grandpetition.


    But now, Jun Xiaoyao had actually broken through another one hundred and twenty acupoints!


    Wouldn¡¯t he be relegated to second ce then?


    He had been second ce every year for the past few years!


    Already, quite a few disciples in the academy had dubbed him ¡°Eternal Second.¡± If he took second ce again this time, wouldn¡¯t he be unable to shake off this title?


    Meanwhile, Dean Chen Jing, witnessing the force of heaven and earth flowing into Jun Xiaoyao¡¯s cave dwelling, could not contain his excitement, ¡°Xiaoyao thisd is really surprising, to breakthrough one hundred and twenty acupoints again before ascending to the Emperor Realm!¡±


    ¡°He must be the only genius in our academy who has managed to breakthrough one hundred and twenty acupoints twice in nearly ten thousand years!¡±


    Senior Li Biughed, ¡°The dean is right, he is the only one! Moreover, in nearly ten thousand years of our academy¡¯s history, he is the genius who has broken through the most acupoints! Currently, no other disciple has broken through more acupoints than he has.¡±


    Chen Jingughed, ¡°It looks like Xiaoyao will be first again this time, and Buhui can only im second.¡± Then he looked towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mountain peak, ¡°Xiaotian came back yesterday, I wonder how his cultivation is going?¡±<div>


    Li Bi said, ¡°Xiaotian¡¯s talent is monstrous, but he has been practising for a short time. He only joined the academy this year, and it might be difficult for him to achieve a good rank in today¡¯s grandpetition.¡±


    After all, almost all the participants in this grandpetition were core disciples at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.


    In Li Bi¡¯s view, Yang Xiaotian had only just joined the academy this year, and no matter how much he cultivated, he couldn¡¯t catch up with those core disciples at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.


    When it came toparing with the peak of the Venerable Realm like Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han, there was even less need to mention it.


    At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was inside his cave dwelling, operating his cultivation technique, absorbing the converged power of heaven and earth.


    Several hourster, he finally absorbed all the power of heaven and earthpletely.


    When Jun Xiaoyao emerged from his cave dwelling, he saw that his dwelling was already surrounded by disciples of the Azure God Academy.


    ¡°Congrattions, Brother Jun!¡±


    ¡°Congrattions, Brother Jun for breaking through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go for the second time, bing the disciple with the most acupoint breakthroughs in our Azure God Academy!¡±


    One disciple after another came forward to congratte Jun Xiaoyao.


    Jun Xiaoyao humbly smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve only broken through four hundred and ny acupoints, not even five hundred, far less than the great achievements of the Great Emperor Master and the others.¡±


    In front of the gate of Celestial Burial Academy stood a huge stele, engraved with the names of Ji Wudi, Jian Changkong, Sun Moon Holy King, Demon Sky Sword God, Green Lotus Sword Deity, and other dazzling entities.


    Simrly, in front of the gate of Azure God Academy, there was a huge stele, also engraved with the names of amazing powerhouses from past generations of the academy.


    Emperor Master was one of the powerhouses recorded on the stele in front of Azure God Academy.


    Emperor Master was from two hundred thousand years ago, predating the Lord of All Gods, and was a supreme powerhouse in the world.


    Now, while Jun Xiaoyao¡¯s twice achieving the breakthrough of one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go was indeed dazzling, back in the day, Emperor Master had managed to make the breakthrough four times in a row!


    Furthermore, he was the powerhouse who had opened up the most acupoints since the establishment of Azure God Academy.


    He was also the only one in Azure God Academy to have his acupoints reach six hundred.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Compared to Emperor Master, Jun Xiaoyao fell far short.<div>


    Because the further along one goes, the harder it is to breakthrough an acupoint.


    Don¡¯t be deceived by Jun Xiaoyao having already broken through four hundred and ny acupoints; for him to breakthrough to five hundred was extremely difficult, almost an impossibility.


    ording to the rules of Azure God Academy, only disciples who have unblocked five hundred meridian points can have their names engraved on the academy¡¯s stone stele.


    Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao currently doesn¡¯t qualify to have his name on the academy stele.<div>


    When Jun Xiaoyao mentioned the Great Emperor Master, all the disciples of the Azure God Academy showed faces full of admiration.


    ¡°Great Emperor Master is a role model for us disciples of the Azure God Academy, but sadly, since the Great Emperor Master, no disciples from our Azure God Academy have been able to unblock six hundred meridian points.¡±


    ¡°One day I shall certainly unblock six hundred meridian points just like the Great Emperor Master,¡± one of the disciples swore on the spot.


    ¡°Wake up, you haven¡¯t even unblocked a hundred meridian points yet, let alone six hundred!¡±


    Jun Xiaoyao managed to unblock one hundred and twenty meridian points in one go, drawing the power of Heaven and Earth. Yang Xiaotian felt it from the mountain peak, but he didn¡¯t pay it any attention and continued to ponder the great Divine Swords.


    He felt that at this rate, within two months, he should be able to condense his fifteenth Sword Heart.


    While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating, Princess Wan Ning came over with some good news¡ªshe had spoken to her venerable ancestor, who had agreed to speak to Medicine God Feng Yiming about acquiring some Divine Medicine dregs for him.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister Wan,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile upon hearing this.


    Wan Ning smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t thank me yet. My venerable ancestor said we don¡¯t know how much we can get, and Lord Feng Yiming, aside from being temperamental, can also be very difficult to persuade.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, Lord Feng Yiming is currently in secluded alchemical cultivation and won¡¯t emerge until next month. My venerable ancestor doesn¡¯t want to disturb him, so we¡¯ll try to approach Lord Feng Yiming next month.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s a month early or a monthte.¡±


    By next month, he should be able to reach the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm¡¯s tenthyer.


    As long as he could get the Divine Medicine dregs before his breakthrough to Emperor Realm, it would suffice.<div>


    Wan Ning looked towards Jun Xiaoyao¡¯s mountain peak and sighed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Brother Xiaoyao would once again unblock one hundred and twenty meridian points.¡± She then smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Many disciples are discussing Junior Brother Yang and guessing when you will once again unblock three hundred and sixty-five meridian points.¡±


    As she said this, her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and didn¡¯t want to dwell on this topic. He asked, ¡°Senior Sister Wan, I heard that recently you have been acquiring top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills?¡±


    He then said, ¡°I have some here.¡± After speaking, he took out a jade bottle.


    Wan Ning received it and took a look, only to see ten top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills inside the bottle. Her pretty face lit up with surprise, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, where did you get these top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian blinked and said half-jokingly, ¡°I refined them myself.¡±


    Wan Ning was taken aback and then covered her mouth with a softugh, as many Medicine Gods did not dare to say they could refine top-grade elixirs with a hundred percent sess rate. Surely her Junior Brother Yang couldn¡¯t be a Medicine God.


    Originally, Princess Wan Ning intended to give Yang Xiaotian Spirit Stones, but he insisted on not epting them, so Princess Wan Ning had no choice but to let it be.


    After Wan Ning left, Yang Xiaotian continued to ponder the great Divine Swords.


    Day after day.


    The day of the academy¡¯s grandpetition was drawing closer.


    In these days, the Undying Death God had not caused any more trouble, but the various empires of the Azure God Continent had be even more tense.


    As Yang Xiaotian pondered the great Divine Swords, his understanding of the Sword Dao had improved significantly.<div>


    Of course, with the effects of the second-stage top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill and the sixfold Tribtion Thunder Water, his strength and vitality were steadily increasing.


    A month passed.


    Finally, the day of the academy¡¯s grandpetition arrived.

 Chapter 438: 438: Cant Help Bragging, Can You?

    Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Can¡¯t Help Bragging, Can You?


    As the academypetition approached, Yang Xiaotian stopped his cultivation and flew to thepetition square.


    The contest square was located in the Core Disciples¡¯ cave dwelling area, a considerable distance away.


    However, with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s speed, he soon arrived at the contest square.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived, he saw that many Core Disciples were already standing on the square, including the four swordsmen and four beauties.


    In addition to them, Tian Wanqing, Lin Mei¡¯er, Tang Huan, and Yao Qingxue were also present; Yao Qingxue and her group did not participate, they and many other disciples hade to watch.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, Tian Wanqing, Lin Mei¡¯er, and Yao Qingxue all went up to greet him.


    All but one of the four beauties, except Zeng Qianqian, also stepped forward to greet Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°I heard that Junior Brother Yang saved Junior Sister Wan Ning in the Sea of Stars,¡± Princess Jiuhu, Bai Li, said with a smile, ¡°Junior Brother Yang is truly a hero saving a beauty.¡±


    Donghuang Xiu, who had a good rtionship with Princess Wan Ning, even teased with augh, ¡°If it were me, I would have pledged myself to him long ago.¡±


    Bai Li giggled, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Great Emperor has always wanted to see Junior Brother Yang.¡±<div>


    Princess Wan Ning stamped her foot with a blushing face, ¡°What are you two talking about? My father just wants to meet Junior Brother Yang to thank him personally.¡±


    From a distance, the wielder of the Demon Sword, Xiao Han, and the Invincible Sword Heart, Xie Buhui, overheard Princess Jiuhu and Donghuang Xiu talking about pledging themselves, and their expressions darkened.


    In particr, Xie Buhui¡¯s heart shed with a hint of murderous intent.


    By then, Shen Yuwen of the Shen Family and Yan Long of the Yan Family had also arrived, both of them looking enviously at the women surrounding and joking with Yang Xiaotian.


    As more Core Disciples arrived, Dean Chen Jing, Elder Li Bi, and other high-ranking officials of the academy were not far behind.


    Chen Jing nced over the crowd and said with a smile, ¡°Now that everyone is here, let¡¯s begin.¡± His gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and he continued, smiling, ¡°Xiaotian, are you sure you want to participate in this academypetition? Actually, you¡¯ve just entered the academy this year. It wouldn¡¯t hurt to cultivate for a couple more years and thenpete.¡±


    Hearing Chen Jing suggest that he cultivate for a few more years beforepeting, Yang Xiaotian was speechless; if he cultivated for another two years, he would already be in the Azure God Mansion, what use would there be in participating in the academypetition?


    ¡°Thank you, Dean, but I¡¯ve already decided to join this academypetition,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, bowing with a smile.


    He knew Chen Jing was worried he might lose too badlyter on, concerned that it would be a severe blow to him.


    However, he also knew that Chen Jing meant well.


    ¡°Good, if that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s wait and see how well you¡¯ve cultivated these past few months,¡± Chen Jingughed.


    Li Bi and the other masters all smiled kindly.


    In fact, they also wanted to see how well Yang Xiaotian had cultivated these past few months.


    Yang Xiaotian had been out practicing all this time, and he had even gone to the Sea of Stars in recent days; they were worried that he might have gottenzy with his cultivation.


    If that were the case, after the academypetition, they would need to encourage him to diligently cultivate.


    Yang Xiaotian was someone in whom both the Azure God Academy and the Azure God Mansion had ced great hopes.


    Consequently, the crowd began to draw lots.


    Yang Xiaotian drew number fourteen.


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Xie Buhui, the Invincible Sword Heart, also drew number fourteen.<div>


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian would have to battle Xie Buhui in the first match, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others frowned.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Wan Ning, Bai Li, Lin Mei¡¯er, and Yao Qingxue all looked worried.


    Especially Wan Ning, whose face was filled with concern.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang, be careful,¡± Wan Ning couldn¡¯t help but warn Yang Xiaotian, ¡°His sword, it¡¯s very sinister.¡±<div>


    Seeing the worried look on Wan Ning¡¯s face, Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Sister Wan Ning, I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Having said that, he soared forward andnded on the fourteenth tform.


    Xie Buhui saw that he had drawn Yang Xiaotian and, after the surprise, was filled with excitement.


    In these past days, he had always prayed to meet Yang Xiaotian in this grand tournament of the academy.


    And now his prayer had indeed been answered!


    It seemed, even the Azure God had heard his prayers and truly allowed him to face Yang Xiaotian.


    And it was the very first match!


    Hiding his murderous intent, Xie Buhui leapt onto tform number fourteen.


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian and Xie Buhui.


    Shen Yuwen and Yan Long saw that Yang Xiaotian was to battle Xie Buhui and naturally felt a secret thrill of delight.


    As hended on the tform, Xie Buhui stared at Yang Xiaotian andughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my first opponent would be Junior Brother Yang! It¡¯s still not toote for Junior Brother Yang to withdraw from thepetition.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, if Junior Brother Yang, with his dual Divine Elixir Golden Cores and twelve Invincible Sword Hearts, were to be defeated by me in the first match, wouldn¡¯t it be a joke once the word spreads?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the hypocritically smiling Xie Buhui and said indifferently, ¡°No need, make your move, let¡¯s finish this quickly. To defeat you, half a move is enough.¡±


    Everyone was taken aback.<div>


    Chen Jing smiled bitterly, ¡°This little guy, really is something!¡±


    Even Li Bi and other masters were speechless when they heard Yang Xiaotian say he only needed half a move to defeat Xie Buhui.


    Xie Buhui, as one of the Four Swords, was well-known for his talent and fighting power. Recognized as the second-ranked at the Azure God Academy, his strength was second only to Jun Xiaoyao among all the disciples.


    Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple who had just joined the academy, actually imed it would only take half a move to defeat Xie Buhui!


    One should know that even if Jun Xiaoyao opened up another hundred and twenty acupoints, he would need at least several hundred moves to defeat Xie Buhui.


    Jun Xiaoyao himself was astonished to hear Yang Xiaotian im he could defeat Xie Buhui with half a move.


    He shook his head, not knowing quite what to make of this Yang Xiaotian.


    Bai Li, Yao Qingxue, and several other girls who were just worried about Yang Xiaotian were quite speechless. This guy, could he die if he didn¡¯t brag?


    When Xie Buhui heard this, he burst into an infuriatedugh, ¡°Defeat me in half a move? Fine, Yang Xiaotian, if you can defeat me in half a move, I¡¯ll eat dirt right here on the spot!¡±


    He felt like he was about to go mad with rage.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I¡¯ll let you make the first move!¡± Xie Buhui¡¯s eyes shed fiercely as he roared, ¡°If you can¡¯t defeat me in half a move, I will make you regreting into this world!¡±


    After Xie Buhui¡¯s roar, golden pirs of light shot up from his body into the sky as he activated one acupoint True Essence Power after another, quickly surpassing four hundred acupoints.


    Then, in the blink of an eye, he reached four hundred and twenty acupoints!<div>


    ¡°Four hundred and twenty acupoints!¡± Many disciples in the crowd were astonished.


    Chen Jing and the others were also surprised; they hadn¡¯t expected that in just a few months, Xie Buhui had opened up so many more acupoints, especially since thest time he drew upon the power of Heaven and Earth to open one hundred and twenty acupoints, he had only three hundred and ny-nine.


    But after four hundred and twenty acupoints, it didn¡¯t stop there; soon, Xie Buhui¡¯s awakened acupoints reached four hundred and thirty.


    ¡°Four hundred and thirty acupoints!¡± The crowd was even more shocked.


    In the end, the number of acupoints Xie Buhui had awakened broke through to four hundred and fifty-nine!


    He had opened up sixty more acupoints than the previous three hundred and ny-nine.


    That was equivalent to five times the Minor Cirction.


    Clearly, after opening up one hundred and twenty acupointsst time, Xie Buhui still had energy to spare. With the arduous training of these past days, he had managed to open up acupoints equivalent to five times the Minor Cirction.


    Seeing that Xie Buhui had opened up to four hundred and fifty-nine acupoints, everyone was profoundly shaken.

 Chapter 439: 439 700 Pieces

    Chapter 439: Chapter 439 700 Pieces


    Xie Buhui mobilized the True Essence in all 459 acupoints of his body, a vast and powerful True Essence force, causing many disciples to involuntarily step back in shock.


    Feeling the immense True Essence power emanating from Xie Buhui, many Core Disciples¡¯ faces changed color.


    Even the Demon Sword Xiao Han and Princess Jiuhu Bai Li were surprised.


    The strength of Xie Buhui had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations.


    Initially, everyone thought that even if Xie Buhui¡¯s strength had improved over the days, it wouldn¡¯t have increased by much, as it bes increasingly difficult to break through acupointster on.


    It was already impressive if Xie Buhui had managed to break through another twelve acupoints in these days.


    Unexpectedly, Xie Buhui had directly broken through sixty!


    Everyone was astonished as they looked at Xie Buhui.


    Xie Buhui, having activated the True Essence in 459 acupoints, held a sword burning with ck mes and coldly looked at Yang Xiaotian, roaring, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, didn¡¯t you say you would defeat me in half a move? Strike!¡±


    His roar was tremendous, echoing like thunder.<div>


    It seemed the louder he roared, the more he could vent his frustration.


    All eyes fell upon Yang Xiaotian.


    Shen Yuwen and Yan Long sneered secretly¡ªIf Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t defeat Xie Buhui, he would be theughing stock of the day¡¯s battle.


    No matter how strong Yang Xiaotian became in the future, this battle would remain a stain on his reputation.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura climbed step by step.


    Quickly, it reached the third level of the Venerable Realm.


    ¡°Venerable Realm third level!¡±


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian break through to the third level of the Venerable Realm so quickly, everyone was also taken aback.


    Although the talents of the disciples of Azure God Academy were all incredibly strong, even they couldn¡¯t break through from the first to the third level of the Venerable Realm within a year.


    But it didn¡¯t end there.


    Next, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura climbed to the fourth level of the Venerable Realm.


    ¡°Venerable Realm fourth level!¡± This time, even Chen Jing, Li Bi, Jun Xiaoyao, and other people were shocked.


    In one year¡¯s time, to break through from the first to the fourth level of the Venerable Realm was simply unprecedented!


    Even the Emperor Master from the past couldn¡¯t possibly have had such an astonishing cultivation speed.


    Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura continued to rise.


    ¡°Venerable Realm fifth level!¡± Everyone was stunned.


    Princess Wan Ning and Princess Jiuhu Bai Li were incredulous.


    Yet, they found that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura was still climbing.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be breaking through to the Venerable Realm sixth level, can it?¡± asked a Core Disciple with trepidation.<div>


    Xie Buhui¡¯s eyes also widened in disbelief; he couldn¡¯t believe that Yang Xiaotian could break through to the Venerable Realm sixth level¡ªas incredible as geniuses could be, none could break through from the first to the sixth level in one year!


    But in the face of his disbelief, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura continued to rise smoothly and swiftly to the Venerable Realm sixth level.


    ¡°Venerable Realm sixth level!¡± Everyone was shocked.


    Chen Jing and Li Bi were also in disbelief.<div>


    However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura was still ascending, and quickly, he broke through to the Venerable Realm seventh level.


    ¡°Venerable Realm seventh level!¡±


    Many Core Disciples gasped in astonishment.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Shockwaves were not enough to describe their amazement.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura still showed no signs of stopping.


    ¡°Venerable Realm eighth level!¡±


    ¡°Venerable Realm ninth level!¡±


    ¡°Venerable Realm tenth level!¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura reached the Venerable Realm tenth level, many disciples were trembling with fright.


    But still, there was no cessation.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s aura climbed to thete phase of the Venerable Realm tenth level.


    ¡°This this this!¡± Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others had already stood up, watching Yang Xiaotian with faces filled with terror.


    Within a year, from the first level to thete phase of the Venerable Realm tenth level!<div>


    Are you kidding me!


    Is this an ancient myth?


    Even the mythical geniuses of antiquity didn¡¯t go to such lengths.


    Even the ancient myths didn¡¯t contain records of any genius breaking through from the first level to thete phase of the Venerable Realm tenth level within a year!


    Zeng Qianqian, who had always maintained a calm expression, also had her mouth agape.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Xie Buhui stared at Yang Xiaotian, who was now in thete phase of the Venerable Realm tenth level, his face stunned.


    Not only did Xie Buhui think it was impossible, but everyone present also thought it was impossible.


    Just then, golden beams of light burst forth and soared into the sky from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body.


    Three hundred and sixty-five golden beams shot straight into the heavens.


    After Yang Xiaotian activated the True Essence Power in three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, immediately after, the three hundred and sixty-sixth acupoint was stimted.


    The three hundred and sixty-seventh!


    One after another, like stars lighting up the night sky.


    Soon, the breakthrough reached four hundred!<div>


    ¡°Four hundred acupoints!¡±


    Everyone was astonished to see that Yang Xiaotian had actually opened up four hundred acupoints.


    But it wasn¡¯t over yet.


    Soon, he broke through to four hundred and fifty-nine.


    Everyone was shaken.


    Because that was the number of acupoints Xie Buhui had opened.


    Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, Yang Xiaotian activated the True Essence Power of the four hundred and sixtieth acupoint within his body.


    ¡°Four hundred and sixty!¡±


    Even Xie Buhui¡¯splexionpletely changed.


    Yang Xiaotian had opened more acupoints than him!


    And it had only been a short year.


    How could it be!


    Yet, it still wasn¡¯t over.<div>


    Soon, the number of acupoints stimted by Yang Xiaotian reached four hundred and ny.


    Once again, everyone took sharp breaths, their gazes coincidentally turning towards Jun Xiaoyao because that was the number of acupoints Jun Xiaoyao had opened.


    As Jun Xiaoyao¡¯s eyes widened, Yang Xiaotian activated the power of the four hundred and ny-first acupoint.


    When the four hundred and ny-first golden beam of light shot into the sky, everyone was deeply shaken.


    But still, it was not the end; soon, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s activated acupoints broke through to five hundred.


    ¡°Five hundred!¡± Many disciples looked on with dazed expressions.


    After activating five hundred acupoints, Yang Xiaotian still did not stop; quickly, he broke through to five hundred and ten.


    ¡°Five hundred and ten!¡±


    ¡°Five hundred and twenty!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Five hundred and ny!¡±


    ¡°Five hundred and ny-nine!¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s activated acupoints broke through to five hundred and ny-nine, everyone was so shocked they were rendered speechless.


    Because in the history of Azure God Academy, only the former Emperor Master had opened acupoints surging past six hundred.


    Yang Xiaotian was just one away from breaking through to six hundred.


    ¡°Buzz!¡±


    Another golden beam of light burst forth into the sky.


    ¡°Six hundred!¡± Chen Jing and Li Bi, among other senior members who had stood up, copsed back into their seats.


    Six hundred golden beams pierced into the Nine Heavens; the radiance was so intense it illuminated one peak after another of the Azure God Academy.


    However, even after Yang Xiaotian activated six hundred acupoints, he still did not stop.


    Yang Xiaotian activated the six hundred and first acupoint.


    The six hundred and second!


    ¡°Six hundred and ten!¡±


    ¡°Six hundred and twenty!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Six hundred and ny!¡±


    ¡°Six hundred and ny-nine!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not going to break through to seven hundred, right?¡± a Core Disciple babbled incoherently.


    No disciple from Azure God Academy had ever broken through to seven hundred acupoints.


    Under everyone¡¯s astounded stares, the golden beam for the seven hundredth acupoint surged to the heavens.


    Seven hundred golden beams lit up every corner of Azure God Academy.

 Chapter 440: 440: If Youre Capable, Defeat Me in Half a Move

    Chapter 440: Chapter 440: If You¡¯re Capable, Defeat Me in Half a Move


    Seeing Xiaotian Yang seed in unblocking seven hundred acupoints, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others who had originally copsed back into their seats once again stood up from their seats.


    With astonishment frozen in their eyes, they gazed at the seven hundred golden pirs of light that dazzled heaven and earth.


    Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Xiaotian Yang activated the True Essence Power of the seven hundred and first acupoint.


    Then, the seven hundred and second followed.


    When he activated the seven hundred and thirtieth acupoint, he finally came to aplete stop.


    Seeing Xiaotian Yange to aplete stop, everyone exhaled a great sigh of relief, appearing utterly drained.


    They breathed heavily, like fish gasping for oxygen.


    An undying aura began to permeate from Xiaotian Yang¡¯s body, but following the immortal aura was an indestructible presence.


    The aura of immortality and indestructibility enveloped heaven and earth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Xiaotian Yang stood there, like an undying god, bathed in the light of seven hundred and thirty golden columns that illuminated everything, even the experts far away in the Imperial Capital could see this world-shocking golden brilliance.<div>


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others, feeling the undying presence emanating from Xiaotian Yang, were filled with shock.


    ¡°Immortal and indestructible!¡±


    They all thought of a possibility.


    ¡°Divine Yang once again broke through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go!¡±


    ¡°He has once more drawn down the Heavenly Nectar, so his physical body possesses an indestructible aura!¡±


    A Core Disciple eximed excitedly.


    All were greatly shaken.


    Breaking through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one attempt was the stuff of ancient myths, yet now, Xiaotian Yang had done it twice!


    ¡°Immortal and indestructible!¡±


    ¡°If Divine Yang breaks through to the Saint Realm, perhaps not even the body of a Divine Spirit will match his strength!¡± a disciple said with a trembling voice.


    Everyone was awe-struck.


    A Saint Realm Powerhouse with a body stronger than a Divine Spirit¡¯s, what kind of concept was that?


    Throughout history, they had never heard of a Saint Realm Powerhouse whose body was stronger than that of a Divine Spirit.


    At this moment, the female disciples of the Azure God Academy, including Wan Ning, Bai Li, Donghuang Xiu, and others, looked at Xiaotian Yang with admiration.


    Even including the male disciples like Tang Huan.


    Xiaotian Yang was a heartthrob to both men and women.


    The disciples of Azure God Academy were all one-in-a-million geniuses and they knew all too well how difficult it was to break through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one attempt.


    Now, Xiaotian Yang had done it twice!


    With a physique immortal and indestructible.<div>


    How could this not make them admire him?


    While everyone was shocked, they couldn¡¯t help but turn their eyes towards Xie Buhui.


    Originally, Xie Buhui¡¯s breakthrough of four hundred and fifty-nine acupoints had astonished the crowd, but now, his aplishment seemed like a joke in front of Xiaotian Yang.


    Xie Buhui¡¯s once overwhelming True Essence Power now seemed so weak and pitiful in front of Xiaotian Yang.<div>


    Xie Buhui had four hundred and fifty-nine acupoints; Xiaotian Yang had seven hundred and thirty¡ªtwo hundred and seventy-one acupoints more.


    Moreover, everyone could see that the True Essence in each of Xiaotian Yang¡¯s acupoints was much more profound than in each of Xie Buhui¡¯s acupoints.


    How could they even fight?


    Xie Buhui looked at Xiaotian Yang with an ugly expression.


    He never expected Xiaotian Yang to break through another three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in such a short time.


    How on earth did Xiaotian Yang manage it?


    He found it hard to believe.


    Taking a deep breath, he tried to grip the sword in his hand tightly, forced down the fear in his heart, and said with a brave front but inner trepidation, ¡°Xiaotian Yang, so what if you¡¯ve unblocked seven hundred and thirty acupoints? I refuse to believe that you can defeat me in half a move!¡±


    The crowd was jarred.


    That¡¯s right, even if Xie Buhui is no match for Yang Xiaotian, he should be able to withstand one move, right?


    As long as he can withstand one move, then Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t have defeated Xie Buhui in half a move.


    Xie Buhui frantically stimted the True Essence Power in his dantian and all the acupoints in his body. Under the infusion of his True Essence, the evil sword in his hand emitted dazzling sword radiance as he did not wait for Yang Xiaotian to make a move, and proactively attacked Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you have the skill, defeat me in half a move!¡± he roared, waving the evil sword in his hand, and instantly, myriad Sword Qi howled out.<div>


    With the myriad Sword Qi flying out, evil energy enveloped the sky and earth.


    This was the intrinsic evil energy of the sword in his hand.


    The evil sword he wielded was the personal sword of an ancient Evil Sword Sovereign, and having received the legacy of the Evil Sword Sovereign, the evil energy of this sword was unparalleled. If one¡¯s body were invaded by this evil energy, their mind and spirit would be ovee, descending into madness and frenzy.


    Seeing the iparable power of this one sword from Xie Buhui, everyone became tense.


    Just when everyone thought Yang Xiaotian would summon the Burying Heaven Sword, suddenly, they saw an additional sword in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, like a shadow.


    This sword was like a sword shadow, giving off a very illusory feeling under the sunlight.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian holding a sword shadow, everyone was shocked, not thinking too much about it.


    Chen Jing, while looking at the sword shadow in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, was utterly shaken, eximing excitedly, ¡°The Divine Shadow Sword! The Divine Shadow Sword!¡±


    ¡°What, the Divine Shadow Sword!¡± Upon hearing Chancellor Chen Jing¡¯s excited cry, everyone was startled.


    Yang Xiaotian had not only found the Divine Shadow but also subdued the Divine Shadow Sword!


    Before, no one knew about it.


    Yang Xiaotian, holding the Divine Shadow Sword with a cold gaze, raised the Divine Shadow Sword and struck out.


    ¡°Shadow of the Divine Shadow!¡±<div>


    Seven hundred and thirty golden pirs circted, with all seven hundred and thirty acupoints fully stimted.


    Instantly, the Divine Shadow Sword unleashedyers of Sword Qi.


    Eachyer of Sword Qi was stronger than thest.


    Everyone clearly felt the terrifying Sword Qi pervading heaven and earth yet saw no Sword Qi erupting from the Divine Shadow Sword.


    This was the terror of the Divine Shadow Sword.


    Even its Sword Qi was without shadow.


    Hum.


    Theyers of Sword Qi unleashed by the Divine Shadow Sword collided with the myriad Sword Qi from Xie Buhui.


    Xie Buhui¡¯s myriad Sword Qi were sted apart, and all the evil energy dispersed.


    Boom!


    The Divine Shadow Sword Qi struck Xie Buhui¡¯s body.


    A series of dense impacts sounded.


    Xie Buhui kept flying backward, his armor sparking withyers of sword radiance, which almost instantaneously burst apart, as the Sword Qi continued to hammer him with the force of andslide and tsunami.<div>


    Xie Buhui spat out arge mouthful of fresh blood.


    Two mouthfuls, three, four¡­


    One mouthful after another.


    It was as if his blood cost him nothing, continually spurting out.


    In the end, Xie Buhui was sent flying out of the arena, over the mountains, and past one peak after another.


    It took a long while before he crashed into the horizon.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Originally, everyone thought that even if Yang Xiaotian was stronger than Xie Buhui, it would be difficult to defeat Xie Buhui in half a move. Yet, to their astonishment, Xie Buhui was blown away like a swatted fly, without a trace.


    How strong was that one strike from Yang Xiaotian just now? Great Emperor third level? Or fourth?


    Perhaps many attacks at the fourth level of Great Emperor would not be as strong.


    Everyone was so shocked they were speechless for a long time.


    Chen Jing was also a tumult of astonishment in his heart.


    It took a long while for him toe back to his senses, quickly instructing people to check on Xie Buhui.


    ¡°It really was half a move.¡± Numerous core disciples were dry-mouthed; even Xie Buhui was defeated in half a move, so what about others? Everyone¡¯s gaze couldn¡¯t help but shift toward Sword Jun and Jun Xiaoyao.


    Could Jun Xiaoyao, the leader of the Four Swords, withstand a move from Yang Xiaotian?

    Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Not Just 12 Sword Hearts


    Jun Xiaoyao saw everyone looking at him and couldn¡¯t help but offer a bitter smile, as he clearly understood the meaning behind their gazes.


    Could he really withstand a move from Yang Xiaotian?


    To be honest, not even he himself was sure.


    He was strong, but not much stronger than Xie Buhui.


    Whether he could withstand a move from Yang Xiaotian was truly hard to say.


    Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yang Xiaotian with a strange expression in his eyes. He was the chief disciple of Azure God Academy, yet now he was considering whether he could withstand a move from a new disciple¡ªhow bizarre andughable.


    He really couldn¡¯t figure out how Yang Xiaotian had been cultivating.


    Moreover, with Yang Xiaotian possessing two Divine Elixirs, what was his Martial Soul?


    He had always been curious about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Ring.


    Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian won the contest.<div>


    Before long, the first round of the disciples¡¯petition ended and the drawing for the second round began.


    In the second round, Yang Xiaotian drew Xiao Han, the wielder of the Demon Sword.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    When Xiao Han saw that he had drawn Yang Xiaotian for his second match, his face twitched.


    Although he was one of the Four Swords, he was ranked below Xie Buhui. If even Xie Buhui couldn¡¯t withstand a single move from Yang Xiaotian, what about him?


    But to admit defeat directly?


    As one of the Four Swords, if he were to concede the match outright, his reputation would suffer irrevocably.


    Taking a deep breath, he forcibly mustered his energy and stepped onto the arena.


    Yang Xiaotian also entered the stage.


    Xiao Han had a Demon Sword in his hand. Perhaps he was nervous, or he had forgotten the rules; he didn¡¯t wait for the start of the match but suddenly urged his Acupoint True Essence to attack Yang Xiaotian with a fierce sword strike.


    Watching Xiao Han, wielding the Demon Sword, lunge at him, Yang Xiaotian stood motionless, silently gathering his fourteen Sword Heart Power. Just as Xiao Han reached him, he suddenly said, ¡°Sword,e!¡±


    Sword,e?


    In the moment of collective astonishment, they saw countless invisible Sword Qi suddenly congeal out of nowhere. It sted through the heavy Demon Sword Qi of Xiao Han and struck him.


    Just like Xie Buhui before him, Xiao Han was sent flying out of the arena and crashed at the far edge of the crowd¡¯s sight.


    The crowd was shocked.


    ¡°Divine Shadow Sword, it truly is the Invisible Divine Sword, ying unseen!¡± eximed a core disciple in awe.


    Clearly, the disciples all thought that what Yang Xiaotian had just used was the power of the Divine Shadow Sword.


    However, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the other high-ranking members of the Azure God Academy were astonished and puzzled.


    They could tell that the power Yang Xiaotian used to defeat Xiao Han was not that of the Divine Shadow Sword.


    But if not the power of the Divine Shadow Sword, what was the deal with the thousands of invisible Sword Qi just now?<div>


    Yang Xiaotian had mobilized thousands of invisible Sword Qi merely with his intent. What kind of Sword Dao power was this?


    Seeing Xiao Han defeated, core disciples like Jun Xiaoyao were shocked once again.


    When Xie Buhui was defeated, Yang Xiaotian had made a move, but now, without even lifting a finger against Xiao Han, he merely uttered the word ¡°Sword,e,¡± and Xiao Han fell!


    The core disciples were not only shocked but also deeply despaired.<div>


    Jun Xiaoyao included.


    Only Zeng Qianqian, watching Yang Xiaotian, showed a thoughtful expression.


    Soon, the second round ended, and it was time for the third.


    In the third round, Yang Xiaotian drew a core disciple who was in thete stages of the Venerable Realm and had the strength to be ranked within the top twenty. Yet as soon as he took to the stage, he shook his head and admitted defeat.


    Following that, the fourth and fifth rounds saw the same oue; all of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponents conceded immediately.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and other high-ranking members all let out wry smiles upon seeing this result.


    Before thepetition, they had been worried that Yang Xiaotian would lose too badly, dealing a heavy blow to his spirit. Now, however, those core disciples didn¡¯t even have the courage to challenge Yang Xiaotian.


    They could not help but feel worried for those core disciples.


    They even feared that after this grandpetition at the academy, people like Xie Buhui and Xiao Han would be left with a psychological shadow.


    Then, the sixth round ofpetition followed.


    In this round, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s opponent was Zeng Qianqian.


    Seeing that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sixth-round opponent was Zeng Qianqian, everyone became invigorated, their faces filled with anticipation.


    Although Jun Xiaoyao was the leading disciple of the Azure God Academy, many of the disciples believed that Zeng Qianqian was even stronger than Jun Xiaoyao!<div>


    In previous academypetitions, Zeng Qianqian seldom participated, and even when she did, she never fought with full strength, so no student had ever seen Zeng Qianqian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    Thus, Zeng Qianqian¡¯s true talent remained a mystery.


    Even Chen Jing, Li Bi, and other high-ranking members of the academy didn¡¯t know Zeng Qianqian¡¯s true talent and strength.


    ¡°I wonder if we will get to see Qianqian¡¯s true talent and strength this time,¡± said Chen Jing, visibly looking forward to Zeng Qianqian¡¯s uing battle with Yang Xiaotian.


    Li Bi smiled and said, ¡°Perhaps Qianqian will surprise us.¡±


    Everyone was watching the stage, their eyes fixed on Yang Xiaotian and Zeng Qianqian.


    Yang Xiaotian, looking at Zeng Qianqian, was equally curious about her talent.


    Zeng Yongjiang, the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion and Zeng Qianqian¡¯s great-grandfather, was the direct descendant of the Lord of Azure God. Among the four beauties, Zeng Qianqian was the most mysterious.


    There had always been discussions among the academy disciples, iming that Zeng Qianqian¡¯s talent was so high that it even surpassed Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang himself and wasparable to the Lord of Azure God from years past.


    It was also said that Zeng Qianqian was being groomed as the next head of the Zeng Family.


    Generally, the position of the head of the Zeng Family was held by male disciples; however, Zeng Qianqian, a female disciple, was still being groomed to take over as the next head, which could only mean one thing¡ªher talent was incredibly exceptional.


    Therefore, it was only because of Zeng Qianqian¡¯s extraordinary talent that Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang decisively pushed aside all objections and chose her to be the next head of the Zeng Family.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang¡¯s talent andbat power are astonishing,¡± Zeng Qianqian was the first to speak. ¡°The power Junior Brother Yang used to defeat Xiao Han was the Sword Heart¡¯s power, wasn¡¯t it?¡±<div>


    As soon as Zeng Qianqian spoke, everyone was astounded.


    ¡°Divine Yang defeated Brother Xiao Han using the Sword Heart¡¯s power? Not the Divine Shadow Sword?¡±


    ¡°What is this Sword Heart Power that can attack invisibly?¡±


    Among the crowd, the disciples began to discuss animatedly.


    Yang Xiaotian, taken aback that Zeng Qianqian could discern that he used the Sword Heart¡¯s power, nodded with a smile and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Sister Zeng, I used the power of the Sword Heart.¡±


    ¡°It seems, Junior Brother Yang has consolidated more than twelve Sword Hearts,¡± Zeng Qianqian said slowly.


    ¡°What? More than twelve Sword Hearts!¡± Suddenly, the crowd erupted into a buzz of shocked conversations.


    Wan Ning, Jun Xiaoyao, and others were shocked, as were Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the rest of the high-ranking academy officials.


    Yang Xiaotian having consolidated twelve Sword Hearts was already frightening enough, but now Zeng Qianqian was suggesting that Yang Xiaotian had consolidated more than twelve!


    ¡°Could it be that Junior Brother Yang has consolidated thirteen Sword Hearts?!¡± a disciple guessed in shock.


    ¡°Thirteen Sword Hearts!¡± Everyone was so stunned that their minds reeled.


    ¡°Indeed, I have more than twelve Sword Hearts,¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded in confirmation.


    ¡°He really has thirteen Sword Hearts!¡± Many disciples gasped in shock upon hearing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s admission.<div>


    Thirteen Sword Hearts!


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others didn¡¯t quite know how to express their feelings at that moment.


    Thirteen Sword Hearts, if such news were to spread, what an enormous sensation it would cause across the Azure God Continent.

 Chapter 442: 442: Battle Against the Top Five Divine Bodies

    Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Battle Against the Top Five Divine Bodies


    What shocked Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others even more was that Yang Xiaotian was how old!


    Not yet fifteen, and he has condensed thirteen Sword Hearts!


    This was absolutely unprecedented.


    While everyone was in shock, Zeng Qianqian stared at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°I will give it my all in the uing match, and I hope Junior Brother Yang will not hold back and will instruct me well.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at Zeng Qianqian with a face full of confidence, and he grew even more curious about the source of her confidence and assurance.


    Zeng Qianqian knew that he had more than twelve Sword Hearts and still had such confidence, asking him not to hold back?


    Seeing Zeng Qianqian¡¯s confidence, the crowd was also full of anticipation.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    After Zeng Qianqian had spoken, the Divine Light around her body suddenly surged.


    A formidable divine might erupted from her being.


    As heaven and earth trembled, astounding powers of the water system began to gather around her body.<div>


    And then, the powers of the fire system started to converge from heaven and earth.


    After that, the powers of the metal system and the wood system emerged.


    Finally, an incredibly surging force of the earth system burst forth from the ground beneath her feet,


    Soon, Zeng Qianqian was enveloped by all five powers.


    The five elemental powers of heaven and earth formed a pentagram of light around her body.


    Witnessing the five types of elemental powers surrounding Zeng Qianqian¡¯s body, both Chen Jing and Li Bi were wide-eyed with shock.


    ¡°Five Divine Bodies!¡±


    Zeng Qianqian was naturally born with five Divine Bodies!


    And they were the five most supreme Divine Bodies.


    These five most supreme Divine Bodies were of the water, fire, metal, wood, and earth systems.


    Five system Divine Bodies, merged into one, formed the legendary power of the Five Elements.


    ¡°Sister Zeng actually possesses five Divine Bodies! Is that the power of the Five Elements?¡± The disciples were abuzz with excitement, boiling over with amazement.


    Even Jun Xiaoyao was greatly taken aback.


    In the Azure God Academy, there were naturally many disciples with unique constitutions, but those born with two or three top-tier Divine Bodies were rare, let alone possessing four or five.


    Even the Great Emperor Master was born with only three top-tier Divine Bodies back in the day.


    Still, the Great Emperor Master of that era was exceptionally dazzling, causing a stir in all directions.


    Yet Zeng Qianqian was born with five top-tier Divine Bodies.


    Yang Xiaotian too was astonished.


    A few days ago, Du Hongqing, who had challenged him at the Summit of Celestial Burial, even though born with Sword Body, Sword Heart, Sword Bones, and Immortal Sword Soul, was far fromparable to Zeng Qianqian of the present.<div>


    For instance, Du Hongqing¡¯s War Heaven Sword Body wasn¡¯t even a Divine Body but merely aparatively powerful Sword Body.


    Although Du Hongqing was born with four special constitutions, he still fell short whenpared to the monstrous talents with three top-tier Divine Bodies, not to mentionparing him to Zeng Qianqian with her five top-tier Divine Bodies.


    Is this really Zeng Qianqian¡¯s true talent?


    No wonder the Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion, Lord Zeng Yongjiang, insisted against all objections to appoint Zeng Qianqian as the next head of the Zeng Family.<div>


    Just as everyone was astonished by Zeng Qianqian¡¯s five great Divine Bodies, suddenly, her body burst forth with a golden light reaching the sky, and the True Essence Power within her acupoints was activated.


    Soon, Zeng Qianqian had activated six hundred acupoints.


    ¡°Six hundred!¡±


    The crowd was shocked to see Zeng Qianqian had opened up six hundred acupoints, stirring with excitement.


    Before Yang Xiaotian, the only one in the Azure God Academy who had opened up to six hundred acupoints was the Emperor Master, and now, apart from Yang Xiaotian, there was also Zeng Qianqian.


    After breaking through to six hundred, the Acupoint True Essence Power that Zeng Qianqian was activating was still surging ahead at a shocking speed.


    It quickly reached six hundred ny-nine.


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, her body¡¯s radiance surged once again.


    ¡°Seven hundred!¡±


    Everyone was shocked to see Zeng Qianqian having broken through to seven hundred meridian points.


    Originally, people thought that only Yang Xiaotian could break through more than seven hundred meridian points, but now, even Zeng Qianqian had surpassed seven hundred.


    After the seven hundredth, Zeng Qianqian continued to activate the seven hundred and first meridian point.


    Soon, she broke through to seven hundred and thirty.<div>


    ¡°Seven hundred and thirty-one!¡±


    Seeing Zeng Qianqian surpass Yang Xiaotian, the crowd was even more intensely stirred up.


    In the end, Zeng Qianqian broke through to eight hundred!


    When she reached eight hundred and forty-five meridian points, she finally stopped.


    ¡°Eight hundred forty-five!¡± the people eximed in shock.


    Earlier, when people saw Yang Xiaotian breaking through to seven hundred and thirty meridian points, they were already astonished; now, Zeng Qianqian had actually broken through to eight hundred and forty-five.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and a group of experts were all tremendously excited.


    At this moment, an immortal aura began to emerge from Zeng Qianqian.


    ¡°Immortal aura!¡±


    The crowd was shaken.


    Clearly, Zeng Qianqian had also managed to break through three hundred and sixty-five meridian points in one go, invoking the descent of Heavenly Nectar and absorbing it, which cultivated an Immortal Body.


    However, Zeng Qianqian had only broken through once, so her flesh did not carry the aura of immortality.


    Even so, this was still enormously shocking for everyone.<div>


    Seeing that Zeng Qianqian had also cultivated an Immortal Body, Yang Xiaotian was surprised, but it was normal for Zeng Qianqian, who naturally had five top-tier Divine Bodies, to break through three hundred and sixty-five meridian points in one go and cultivate an Immortal Body.


    Moreover, Zeng Qianqian must have also made breakthroughs in four sets of one hundred and twenty meridian points each, which added up to a total of eight hundred and forty-five meridian points.


    No wonder Zeng Qianqian was confident enough to ask him not to hold back; it turned out she had broken through eight hundred and forty-five meridian points.


    With her five great Divine Bodies fully extended, Zeng Qianqian ran the True Essence of all eight hundred and forty-five meridian points with full force. Her overwhelming power surged like a colossal tidal wave, flooding everything toward Heaven and Earth, and in her hand appeared a Divine Sword.


    ¡°Heavenly Extinction God Sword!¡± Chen Jing eximed in surprise upon seeing the Divine Sword in Zeng Qianqian¡¯s hand.


    The Heavenly Extinction God Sword was also one of the personal swords of the Lord of Azure God in the past.


    The Lord of Azure God had wielded two Divine Swords; the earlier one was the Heavenly Extinction God Sword. This sword was used by him in his early days. Later, after he broke through to the Heavenly God Realm, he ceased to use the Heavenly Extinction God Sword and forged the even more powerful Sword of Azure God.


    The Heavenly Extinction God Sword is the Zeng Family¡¯s inherited Divine Sword, and Zeng Qianqian possessing this sword undeniably confirmed her status as the next head of the Zeng Family.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang, please draw your sword,¡± Zeng Qianqian said.


    All eyes fell on Yang Xiaotian.


    Before thepetition, everyone felt that Zeng Qianqian stood no chance against Yang Xiaotian, but now, with her having five top-tier Divine Bodies and having broken through eight hundred and forty-five meridian points, she might not lose.


    ¡°A dragon and tiger battle, huh?¡± many Core Disciples were invigorated.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t summon any of the great Divine Swords but instead activated the True Essence power of his meridian points.<div>


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian activated the True Essence of seven hundred and thirty meridian points. Just when everyone thought he would stop there, suddenly, the radiance around his entire body surged once more.


    ¡°The seven hundred and thirty-first meridian point!¡±


    The crowd was astonished to see Yang Xiaotian actually break through the seven hundred and thirty-first meridian point.


    Even Zeng Qianqian was taken aback; Yang Xiaotian had actually been hiding his strength.


    Incredulously, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s activated meridian points broke through to eight hundred as well.


    ¡°Eight hundred!¡±


    ¡°Eight hundred too!¡±


    The crowd erupted.


    After the eight hundredth, Yang Xiaotian activated the True Essence of the eight hundred and first meridian point.


    When Yang Xiaotian activated the eight hundred and forty-five meridian points, the crowd went wild.


    Under the incredulous gazes of Zeng Qianqian, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others, Yang Xiaotian activated the True Essence of the eight hundred and forty-sixth meridian point.

 Chapter 443: 443: The Birth of the Eternal Divine Body!

    Chapter 443: Chapter 443: The Birth of the Eternal Divine Body!


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian activate eight hundred and forty-six acupoint True Essences, Zeng Qianqian¡¯s beautiful eyes widened.


    She had considered various possibilities for Yang Xiaotian, but she had never imagined that the acupoints he had opened would be more than hers!


    Considering that Yang Xiaotian had only stepped into the Martial Venerable Realm this year, didn¡¯t that mean that all these acupoints were opened by Yang Xiaotian within one year?


    Opening more than eight hundred acupoints within a single year was astoundingly shocking!


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s acupoint True Essences were still continuously being activated.


    It soon reached eight hundred and ny-nine.


    ¡°Nine hundred!¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian activated the nine hundredth acupoint True Essence, numerous disciples on site were all trembling uncontrobly, with Shen Yuwen and Yan Long¡¯s legs bending as if they had broken.


    As for Xie Buhui and Xiao Han, who had just been revived, they were so scared that their hearts stopped beating, their legs stiffened, lying there like two corpses.


    Chen Jing, Li Bi, and a host of other experts were left with nk minds.<div>


    Jun Xiaoyao, who had initially been contemting how to withstand a move from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand, had long since abandoned that thought. What he was now considering was how not to be blown apart by a single move from Yang Xiaotian.


    What was the concept of nine hundred acupoints?


    The strength of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Essence might be ten times, even twenty times his own!


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s overwhelming shock, the acupoint True Essences stimted by Yang Xiaotian continued to rise, and soon, they broke through to nine hundred and ny-nine.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian open nine hundred and ny-nine acupoints, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were foaming at the mouth, whether due to the injuries Yang Xiaotian had inflicted earlier or from fright.


    When a person is frightened to a certain extreme, they may foam at the mouth.


    Boom!


    Yang Xiaotian activated the one thousandth acupoint True Essence.


    The sky violently shuddered in response.


    Golden radiance shone forth, illuminating even the mountains outside the Azure God Academy.


    ¡°One thousand!¡± Chen Jing, looking at Yang Xiaotian nowpletely enveloped in golden light, trembled with excitement.


    One thousand!


    The name Yang Xiaotian would surely be remembered through the ages.


    It would be extolled by the mightiest beings for generations.


    Finally, Yang Xiaotian activated the one thousand and ny-fifth acupoint, and then hepletely came to a stop.


    After Yang Xiaotian activated the one thousand and ny-fifth acupoint True Essence, an undying and immutable aura whirled around him, but in addition to the aura of immortality, an essence of Eternal of Time swept forth.


    ¡°This is the essence of Eternal of Time!¡± Li Bi screamed excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s definitely the Eternal Divine Body!¡±


    Hearing Li Bi¡¯s excited scream,


    many Academy Ancients and Ancient Ancestors all fell to the ground.<div>


    ¡°The Eternal Divine Body! It¡¯s the Eternal Divine Body! Someone is actually going to cultivate the Eternal Divine Body!¡± An Ancient Ancestor cried with tears in his eyes, ¡°My Azure God Academy has birthed an Eternal Divine Body!¡±


    Each Ancient Ancestor and Academy Elder was overwhelmed with excitement.


    And the multitude of students throughout the academy were simrly floored.


    ¡°The Eternal Divine Body, it¡¯s the Eternal Divine Body of a Heaven and Earth Dominator!¡±<div>


    ¡°An Eternal Divine Body has emerged!¡± Chen Jing, with tears streaming down his face, eximed with great excitement, ¡°The Azure God Continent has produced an Eternal Divine Body!¡±


    Princess Wan Ning, Yao Qingxue, Donghuang Xiu, and the otherdies had their mouths agape enough to fitrge duck eggs.


    Even Zeng Qianqian, the next family head heavily nurtured by the Zeng Family, was extraordinarily thrilled, ¡°The Eternal Divine Body, he¡¯s actually cultivated the Eternal Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°One thousand and ny-five acupoints! Did he just simultaneously open three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go?¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Opening three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go! Thates out to one thousand and ny-five acupoints exactly!


    The crowd was once again thoroughly shaken.


    ¡°`


    Unlocking three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one attempt was already a myth from the distant past.


    Three times?


    Was it for this reason that he cultivated the Eternal Divine Body?


    ¡°Our Azure God Academy¡¯s fortune!¡±


    ¡°Our Azure God Continent¡¯s fortune!¡± Chen Jing eximed excitedly, ¡°Report to the Azure God Mansion immediately! Quick!¡±


    The birth of the Eternal Divine Body was such a significant event that it naturally had to be reported to the Azure God Mansion without dy.<div>


    ¡°Quick, report to the family head at once!¡±


    ¡°Report to the ancient ancestor immediately!¡±


    One after another, disciples from the Azure God Academy woke up from their astonishment.


    The reappearance of the Eternal Divine Body within heaven and earth was an event shocking enough to rm the ages.


    At that moment, inside the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce, the Great Emperor Myriad Gods, Wan Guangfeng, was attending the morning court, listening to the various generals and ministers of the Myriad Gods Empire report on the regional affairs.


    Upon hearing that the Undying Death God and the Son of the Nether God, Yan Ping, and several others had kept a low profile in the recent months and were not causing trouble, Wan Guangfeng felt relieved.


    Just then, suddenly, a general from the Myriad Gods Empire burst into the pce with great excitement and prostrated himself before Wan Guangfeng, ¡°Your Majesty, news has just been conveyed from Her Highness Princess that the Eternal Divine Body has been born!¡±


    ¡°What did you say?!¡± Wan Guangfeng, after being taken aback, abruptly stood up, his eyes widening with shock.


    The hall fell into deathly silence.


    ¡°Yes, today at the Azure God Academy tournament, Yang Xiaotian unlocked one thousand and ny-five acupoints and cultivated the Eternal Divine Body!¡± The general stammered excitedly.


    All the powerhouses of the Myriad Gods Empire were astonished.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, the Eternal Divine Body! One thousand and ny-five acupoints!¡± Wan Guangfeng stood there, flustered with excitement, ¡°The Eternal Divine Body has been born, quick, report to the ancient ancestor immediately!¡±


    Having said that, he rushed out of the hall and headed for the secluded chamber where the ancient ancestor was in seclusion.<div>


    Leaving all the strong ones of the Myriad Gods Empire in the hall utterly dumbfounded.


    ¡°The Eternal Divine Body has actually been born. This, this is definitely an event that will shake the ages!¡±


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian! Could it be the same Yang Xiaotian who saved Her Highness Princess a few days ago?!¡±


    In the hall, there was an uproar.


    Meanwhile, at the Azure God Academy¡¯spetition arena, Zeng Qianqian suppressed the shock and excitement in her heart, her eyes zing with battle intent as she looked at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Junior Brother Yang has actually unlocked three hundred and sixty-five acupoints three times and cultivated the Eternal Divine Body! Qianqian is truly amazed, but still, Qianqian would like to experience Junior Brother Yang¡¯s Eternal Divine Body.¡±


    With that said, she added, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, my apologies!¡±


    She wielded the Heavenly Extinction God Sword in her hand and made a sh.


    ¡°Heavenly Extinction Sword Rain!¡±


    With the full force of her five most excellent Divine Bodies and eight hundred forty-five acupoints¡¯ True Essence Power, a torrential sword rain suddenly fell from the sky, densely packed, enveloping the entire arena space, with each strand of sword rain being a terrifying Sword Qi.


    Everyone watching the deluge of sword rain shuddered in fear.


    Even Jun Xiaoyao was greatly rmed.


    Such a sword rain, not to mention him, even if several of him joined forces, they might not be capable of withstanding it.


    The sword rain hammered down on Yang Xiaotian, making a sonorous ng, like the thunder of a heavenly hammer striking upon a massive piece of Divine Iron, sparking an astonishing glow.<div>


    After the sword rain had passed, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s figure emerged.


    Yang Xiaotian waspletely unharmed! His body bore no wounds or cuts from the sword.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian unscathed, everyone who had been anxious was shocked.


    Yang Xiaotian withstood Zeng Qianqian¡¯s forces on her five top Divine Bodies and eight hundred forty-five acupoints without a scratch.


    How terrifying must his flesh be!


    ¡°Even if it were the Great Emperor at the tenth rank, they wouldn¡¯t possess such a fearsome body!¡± A core disciple eximed.


    The undying and indestructible Eternal Divine Body was powerful to this extent.

 Chapter 444: 444 Miss Qianqian Loses

    Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Miss Qianqian Loses


    ¡°`


    Zeng Qianqian¡¯s pretty face was full of shock as well.


    Just a few days prior, she had ventured into Divine Beast Mountain and hunted down a Fierce Beast of the Great Emperor Realm, moreover, it was of the fourth level of the Great Emperor Realm. And now, she unexpectedly couldn¡¯t wound Yang Xiaotian in the slightest.


    No, to be precise, she couldn¡¯t leave a single scratch on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    Without being able to injure Yang Xiaotian at all, how could she continue the fight?


    The strike she had justunched was nearly her full strength, yet it couldn¡¯t injure Yang Xiaotian. Even if she were to reveal all her hidden cards, she feared they would still be unable to harm him.


    At this moment, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.


    She finally experienced the legendary power of the Eternal Divine Body, which was terribly formidable.


    Just as Zeng Qianqian was astonished, Yang Xiaotian made his move. His figure surged forward, radiating with the light of Time, almost as if he had be a being of Time itself. In an instant, he was right in front of Zeng Qianqian.


    Yang Xiaotian threw a punch, so fast that the disciples of Jun Xiaoyao couldn¡¯t see it clearly.<div>


    Zeng Qianqian could barely catch a glimpse of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punching speed and swung her Heavenly Extinction God Sword in defense.


    ng!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist collided with the de of the Heavenly Extinction God Sword.


    A massive resonation ensued.


    Zeng Qianqian was sent reeling backward by the punch, her arm in severe pain, and the Heavenly Extinction God Sword nearly slipped from her grasp.


    Her chest felt tumultuous, as if her blood and qi were overturning.


    Even with her top five divine bodies, the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s previous punch nearly made her spit out blood.


    This was Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current strength.


    Even with her five top divine bodies, Zeng Qianqian couldn¡¯t bear it.


    And the power of that punch was just the strength of the Eternal Divine Body, just the strength of 1,095 Acupoint True Essence.


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t even activated his fourteen Sword Hearts.


    He hadn¡¯t even invoked his two million-year Soul Rings.


    Like this, Yang Xiaotianunched punch after punch.


    Each punch tore through the air, each explosion reverberating through the atmosphere.


    Each punch forced Zeng Qianqian back, each strike causing her Heavenly Extinction God Sword to ng resoundingly.


    Zeng Qianqian was almost continually on the receiving end, being relentlessly bombarded by Yang Xiaotian, with no power to counterattack.


    Those watching were totally shocked by this scene.


    ¡°This is too fierce,¡± trembled a core disciple.


    With his mere fists, Yang Xiaotian had reduced Zeng Qianqian¡¯s Heavenly Extinction God Sword to whimpering.<div>


    Divine Swords like the Heavenly Extinction God Sword had their own spirit, and under the constant barrage from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists, it actually started to whimper.


    Was it frightened by the bombardment?


    The Heavenly Extinction God Sword was actually afraid of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bare fists.


    After enduring dozens of punches from Yang Xiaotian, Zeng Qianqian eventually couldn¡¯t hold onto the Heavenly Extinction God Sword any longer, and it was sted away, flying off.<div>


    And she herself was also sted out of the arena.


    Zeng Qianqian stood outside the arena, her pretty face pale, gasping for breath.


    As she looked at Yang Xiaotian, she couldn¡¯t hide the fear in her heart; she never imagined that someone of the Venerable Realm could be so powerful.


    With just his bare fists, he made her Heavenly Extinction God Sword cry.


    Is this even human?


    It¡¯s more like an Ancient Beast God.


    No, even the strongest Beast Gods with the purest bloodlines didn¡¯t have such a terrifying physical body.


    In contrast, Yang Xiaotian had thoroughly enjoyed the fight, feeling utterly refreshed andfortable.


    Without employing his fourteen Sword Hearts or the power of his million-year Soul Rings, he finally encountered someone who could barely withstand his attacks.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister Zeng.¡± Seeing Zeng Qianqian step down from the arena, Yang Xiaotian stopped his attack and sped his fists in gratitude.


    Thank me?


    Zeng Qianqian was puzzled but then understood Yang Xiaotian¡¯s intention.<div>


    It seemed that this guy had been treating her as a sparring partner.


    He was thanking her for having sparred with him for dozens of moves.


    Zeng Qianqian chuckled in annoyance, ¡°Since Junior Brother Yang wants to thank me, shouldn¡¯t you show some sort of gesture?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was startled.


    At that moment, Chen Jing burst intoughter, interrupting Zeng Qianqian and Yang Xiaotian, ¡°How fortunate is our Azure God Academy to have produced two such extraordinary talents.¡±


    He then said to Zeng Qianqian and Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Qianqian, Xiaotian,e here.¡± He looked at them as if they were his treasured children and asked with a smile, ¡°What do you two desire? As long as the Academy and I can provide it, we will ensure you have it.¡±


    It was probably the first time in the Azure God Academy that even the defeated could receive a reward.


    However, with Zeng Qianqian¡¯s talent so evident, none of the disciples dared to object.


    Li Bi, however, coughed lightly and said to Chen Jing, ¡°Dean, thepetition isn¡¯t over yet.¡±


    Chen Jing was startled and, looking at the crowd, heughed awkwardly, ¡°Since thepetition isn¡¯t over yet, let¡¯s continue with the matches. Everyone, please proceed with thepetition.¡±


    In his excitement just now, he had eyes only for Yang Xiaotian and Zeng Qianqian, the two treasured children, forgetting that the academy¡¯s grandpetition had not yet concluded.


    Thus, the referee announced Yang Xiaotian as the winner of the match.


    With the sixth match over, it was time for the seventh and eighth matches.<div>


    The final match was between Yang Xiaotian and Jun Xiaoyao.


    Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yang Xiaotian across from him and ultimately couldn¡¯t muster up the courage to make a move. Shaking his head, he said, ¡°I¡¯m no match for Junior Brother Yang. I admit defeat.¡±


    Hearing Jun Xiaoyao surrender voluntarily, the crowd was not surprised.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian was victorious, winning first ce in the Academy¡¯s grandpetition.


    As the grandpetition of the Azure God Academy concluded, the news of Yang Xiaotian opening one thousand and ny-five acupoints and cultivating the Eternal Divine Body spread with astonishing speed.


    All the major Supreme Sects and ancient families of the Myriad Gods Empire were shaken.


    In the Azure God Mansion.


    Zeng Yongjiang was instructing his subordinates to investigate theirs of the three Demon Sects when Supreme Elder Zheng Weijie rushed in excitedly.


    Zeng Yongjiang looked on in bewilderment.


    He knew Zheng Weijie¡¯sposure well; even upon obtaining an extremely precious Holy Pill, Zheng Weijie had never been this excited and agitated.


    What could possibly stir up such excitement in Zheng Weijie?


    Once inside, Zheng Weijie¡¯s voice was even trembling with excitement, ¡°Mansion Master, news just came from the Azure God Academy that Miss Qianqian lost in the grandpetition.¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang was taken aback. Damn, my great-granddaughter lost, and you are this excited and agitated about it?<div>


    Wait, what did Zheng Weijie say just now? My great-granddaughter lost?


    He was well aware of his great-granddaughter¡¯s terrifying talent.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Was there someone in the Azure God Academy capable of defeating his great-granddaughter?


    Sword God Xi Long and Medicine God Li Nian were also shocked to hear this.


    ¡°You just said, Qianqian lost?¡± Zeng Yongjiang was somewhat incredulous, ¡°Did she give it her all?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Miss Qianqian lost. She used the power of her five top divine bodies and also the True Essence Power of eight hundred and forty-five acupoints,¡± Zheng Weijie said excitedly, ¡°But still, she lost miserably.¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang stared nkly at the excited Zheng Weijie in front of him.


    This old fellow, his great-granddaughter had suffered such a crushing defeat, yet he was so excited?


    ¡°It¡¯s Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian defeated Miss Qianqian,¡± Zheng Weijie hastened to add.


    ¡°What? Yang Xiaotian?¡± Sword God Xi Long was greatly surprised, shaking his head, ¡°Impossible. Xiaotian only joined the Azure God Academy this year.¡±


    Yet Zheng Weijie was ecstatic, ¡°Yang Xiaotian has opened one thousand and ny-five acupoints. He has cultivated the Eternal Divine Body!¡±

 Chapter 445: 445

    Chapter 445: 445


    One thousand and ny-five acupoints!


    Eternal Divine Body!


    Sword God Xi Long was stunned.


    Zeng Yongjiang and Li Nian were stunned.


    ¡°You mean, the Eternal Divine Body? Has the Eternal Divine Body appeared?!¡± Zeng Yongjiang trembled all over, speaking with extreme excitement.


    He finally understood why his great-granddaughter had lost and why Zheng Weijie was so excited.


    ¡°Yes, absolutely true! It is the Eternal Divine Body!¡± Zheng Weijie was even more excited, ¡°Yang Xiaotian he sessively broke through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go, three times!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Sword God Xi Long shot over to Zheng Weijie, ¡°Damn, what did you say? Sessfully broke through three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go, three times!¡±


    If Sword God Xi Long normally said ¡°damn,¡± everyone would definitely be astounded, but at this moment, no one paid attention to his exmation.


    Zheng Weijie said excitedly, ¡°Yes, he induced the Heavenly Nectar three times in a row.¡±<div>


    ¡°Induced the Heavenly Nectar three times in a row!¡± Zeng Yongjiang and Li Nian were violently shaken, and at this moment, even they wanted to swear.


    ¡°Precisely because of this, he cultivated the Eternal Divine Body,¡± said Zheng Weijie, unable to contain his excitement.


    Today, whenever he opened his mouth, he was unable to contain his excitement.


    The emergence of the Eternal Divine Body, an event rare since ancient times, he couldn¡¯t help but be excited, couldn¡¯t help but be thrilled.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and Li Nian were all so excited that they struggled to calm down for a long time.


    After a while, Zeng Yongjiang spoke again with excitement, ¡°Xiaotian, thisd, will surely be able to protect our Azure God Continent in the future!¡± Then he asked Xi Long, ¡°I remember you saying a few months ago that he had condensed two Divine Elixirs, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Xi Long said excitedly and with satisfaction, ¡°Who would have thought that in less than a year, thisd could cultivate the Eternal Divine Body? I never expected it at all.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t help but recall the first time he met Yang Xiaotian.


    At that time, Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Unity of Heaven and Man, and he felt that thisd was extraordinary, but he still hadn¡¯t expected such a huge surprise from him.


    ¡°This little fellow has also tamed the Earth me and the Nine Phoenixes Golden me, and even the Burying Heaven Sword and Demon-ying Sword were tamed by him,¡± Zeng Yongjiang said with emotion, ¡°I really don¡¯t know how he did it.¡±


    But then he heard Zheng Weijie say, ¡°Mansion Master, the Azure God Academy just reported that Yang Xiaotian has already tamed the Divine Shadow Sword.¡±


    ¡°Tamed the Divine Shadow Sword!¡± Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and Li Nian all gaped.


    They had also searched for the Divine Shadow Sword at the Azure God Academy, but they could never find any trace of it.


    ¡°This little guy, he really is something!¡± Zeng Yongjiang didn¡¯t know what else to say.


    He said, ¡°This little guy being able to tame the Divine Shadow Sword must be rted to his condensing twelve Sword Hearts.¡±


    However, Zheng Weijie interrupted, ¡°The Azure God Academy just reported that Yang Xiaotian has now condensed thirteen Sword Hearts.¡±


    ¡°What, thirteen Sword Hearts!¡± Zeng Yongjiang and Xi Long were shocked.


    ¡°Yes, during thepetition, Miss Qianqian said he had more than twelve Sword Hearts, and then Yang Xiaotian admitted it, saying he now has more than twelve Sword Hearts,¡± Zheng Weijie exined.


    Zeng Yongjiang and Xi Long struggled to express the feelings in their hearts at the moment.<div>


    ¡°However, during thepetition, Yang Xiaotian did not use the thirteen Sword Hearts. He only used the power of the Eternal Divine Body and the one thousand and ny-five acupoints to defeat Miss Qianqian,¡± said Zheng Weijie.


    ¡°What realm is Yang Xiaotian now?¡± Zeng Yongjiang suddenly asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s at thete stage of the tenth level of the Venerable Realm,¡± Zheng Weijie quickly said.


    ¡°Thete stage of the tenth level of the Venerable Realm!¡± Xi Long¡¯s eyes bulged.<div>


    ¡°He only joined the Azure God Academy this year. So, within a year, he advanced from the first level to thete stage of the tenth level of the Venerable Realm?¡± Zeng Yongjiang and the others found it incredible.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zheng Weijie hastily said.


    Zeng Yongjiangughed with a touch of emotion, ¡°This kid, he couldn¡¯t possibly have been consuming natural treasures for cultivation the whole time, could he?¡±


    Otherwise, how could he cultivate so quickly?


    He asked Xi Long, ¡°It seems he asked you for quite a bit of Divine Medicine residue?¡±


    Xi Long nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°What does he need so much Divine Medicine residue for?¡± Medicine God Li Nian wondered.


    Because, Divine Medicine residue simply can¡¯t be used to consume and cultivate.


    Zeng Yongjiang said to Xi Long and Li Nian, ¡°Since Xiaotian needs the Divine Medicine residue, let¡¯s search for some and then send it over to him.¡±


    Xi Long and Li Nian nodded in agreement.


    On the side, Zheng Weijie watched with a mix of emotions. Their Mansion Master¡¯s status was almost second to none, above countless powerhouses, yet now he was concerned with the cultivation of a disciple from the Azure God Academy.


    Probably only Yang Xiaotian would receive such treatment.


    Zeng Yongjiangughed, ¡°With Xiaotian¡¯s speed of cultivation, he should be able to join our Azure God Mansion next year. I really look forward to meeting this little guy soon. Maybe by then he¡¯ll give us an even bigger surprise.¡±<div>


    Just then, suddenly, an old ancestor ran in panic-stricken, saying to Zeng Yongjiang and the others, ¡°Mansion Master, a man in ck has infiltrated Lord Azure God¡¯s courtyard, injuring Lord Jiang Yuan.¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Upon hearing this, Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and Li Nian¡¯s faces changed dramatically, and they sped through the air toward the courtyard where the Lord of Azure God used to live.


    The old ancestor hurriedly followed them.


    ¡°How are things now?¡± On the way, Zeng Yongjiang asked the old ancestor.


    ¡°The man in ck fled,¡± the old ancestor quickly said, ¡°ording to Lord Jiang Yuan, it seems the assant was trying to steal the notebook left by Lord Azure God, but was discovered by Lord Jiang Yuan in time, and the notebook was not stolen.¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and the others were all surprised.


    That notebook contained records of the Star God Tree and the whereabouts of many natural treasures.


    However, it had always been impossible to open.


    Could it be that the assant had a way to open it?


    ¡°Did you get a good look at the assant?¡± Zeng Yongjiang asked, astonished.


    ¡°Lord Jiang Yuan said the person was wearing a mask, was very tall, but the assant likely consumed a drug to alter his height,¡± the old ancestor replied. ¡°The person¡¯s Sword Intent was extremely strong; he must be some Sword God.¡±


    ¡°Some Sword God?¡± Upon hearing this, they became even more puzzled.


    Yang Xiaotian was unaware of the situation at the Azure God Mansion; at the time, the academypetition had ended. He had collected his rewards and then secluded himself in the mountain peak to continue his cultivation, striving to condense the fifteenth Sword Heart as soon as possible.<div>


    On the second day of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s seclusion, Princess Wan Ning brought him arge batch of Divine Medicine residue.


    She joyfully said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Yesterday, Lord Feng Yiming emerged from seclusion. As soon as the old ancestor heard that Lord Feng Yiming hade out, he went to find him.¡±


    Then sheughed, ¡°You have no idea how sullen Lord Feng Yiming was. It took the ancestor quite a bit of fine wine to exchange for these.¡±


    ¡°These are the Divine Medicine residues that Lord Feng Yiming has collected over the years, all here.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at therge batch of Divine Medicine residue with joy, andughed happily, ¡°Thank you, Sister Wan. Please thank your great ancestor for me.¡±


    With so much Divine Medicine residue, he should be able to condense three more Life God Fruits.


    He waspletely able to unblock the remaining two hundred and one acupoints.


    When that timees, after absorbing the Heavenly Nectar once again, his Eternal Divine Body should truly begin to emerge.

 Chapter 446: 446 Heavenly Tribulation Flame

    Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Heavenly Tribtion me


    Wan Ning saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s happy expression and was pleased herself, sheughed and said, ¡°The Imperial Pce¡¯s feast is at the end of the month. The old ancestor instructed me to make sure I extend an invitation to Junior Brother Yang.¡±


    ¡°Good, Sister Wan can just have someone notify me when the timees,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    With his current speed of cultivation, by the end of the month, he couldpletely unblock all the remaining acupoints and just in time for the grand banquet of the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce.


    Wan Ning sat in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cave dwelling for a while before taking her leave.


    Once Wan Ning left, Yang Xiaotian allowed the Life God Tree to absorb all the waste residues from the Divine Medicines, and then he focused onprehending the Sword Dao while waiting for the Life God Fruit to mature.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Sure enough, three dayster, the Life God Tree bore three delicate, tender Life God Fruits.


    Looking at the three tender Life God Fruits in front of him, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath. Fragrant! Truly fragrant!


    However, Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to consume the fruits for cultivation right away but instead left the Azure God Academy to find a secluded ce before consuming the Life God Fruits.


    As soon as the Life God Fruit entered his mouth, it melted, and Yang Xiaotian circted the Primordial Dragon Art, repeatedly refining the medicinal power of the Life God Fruit.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vitality began to surge continuously.<div>


    And his cultivation level was also steadily increasing.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian reached the peak of thete Venerable Realm.


    However, after breaking through to the peak of thete-stage Venerable Realm, Yang Xiaotian did not rush to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, but instead worked hard to condense the True Yuan,pressing both the True Essence in his Dantian and each acupoint again to make it even more robust.


    Because once he broke through to the Emperor Realm, the Acupoint True Essence would be fixed and could no longer be expanded or enhanced, so before breaking through to Martial Emperor, he needed to elevate the True Essence in his Dantian and each acupoint to the extreme.


    Compressed to the point where it could no longer bepressed.


    As Yang Xiaotian continued to refine the Life God Fruits, his vitality, when spread out, turned the Heaven and Earthpletely red, intense red, even eventually emitting an alluring golden luster.


    The vitality of those in the Divine Spirit Realm has a golden luster, but now, Yang Xiaotian, being only in the Martial Venerable Realm, had golden luster in his vitality.


    Moreover, as he continued to refine the Life God Fruit, the golden luster of his vitality became brighter and more intense.


    Atst, the Life God Fruit waspletely refined by Yang Xiaotian.


    Only then did he stimte his vitality and True Essence to start bombarding the remaining acupoints.


    Suddenly, the vitality and True Essence inside his body roared incessantly, like the sea at the end of times, as one acupoint after another was brutally sted open.


    Under the bombardment of his powerful vitality and True Essence, the remaining acupoints were ignited and activated like stars.


    True Essence Sea kept filling his remaining acupoints.


    Soon, he unblocked twelve hundred acupoints.


    His True Essence and vitality still forcefully hammered towards the remaining ny-six acupoints.


    Quickly there were ny left.


    Eighty.


    Seventy.


    The number of acupoints activated and unblocked inside Yang Xiaotian was increasing.<div>


    And the radiance of his whole body became more and more intense.


    His Eternal Divine Body also began to emit the light of time.


    In the end, there was only one acupoint left unopened, and at that moment, the radiance around his body boiled like water.


    Not only that, but Yang Xiaotian¡¯s vitality and True Essence were also boiling.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body waspletely flushed.


    From the inside to the outside, from the internal organs to flesh and skin, everything turned red as if his entire being was about to ignite.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    What¡¯s happening?


    How could the blood and True Yuan in his entire body suddenly start to boil?


    Now, the temperature of his entire body was astonishing; it could probably cook a Divine Beast alive.


    Furthermore, the blood and True Yuan in his body continued to burn. At this rate, he would certainly be turned to ashes!


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to open up all the acupoints in your body,¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice sounded at that moment, ¡°But when you open all the acupoints and absorb the Heavenly Nectar for the fourth time, as the Eternal Divine Body begins to form, the blood and True Yuan in your body will ignite the Heavenly Tribtion me.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion me?¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, Heavenly Tribtion me,¡± Master Ding said, ¡°Only if you withstand the Heavenly Tribtion me can you survive; if you can¡¯t withstand it, you¡¯ll be turned to ash.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes widened.


    ¡°The path of cultivation is essentially an act against the heavens. If you want to cultivate the Eternal Divine Body, you must go through life-and-death ordeals,¡± Master Ding continued, ¡°Otherwise, do you think the Eternal Divine Body is that easy to cultivate sessfully?¡±


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian understand why, from ancient times till now, only the Heaven and Earth Dominator could cultivate the Eternal Divine Body.<div>


    Since the beginning of the world, there must have been more than one person who was able to draw down the Heavenly Nectar four times, but in the end, they all failed to sessfully cultivate the Eternal Divine Body.


    Because they could not withstand the Heavenly Tribtion me and were eventually reduced to ashes.


    ¡°Master Ding, in your opinion, can I withstand the Heavenly Tribtion me?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s difficult!¡± Master Ding said bluntly.


    Yang Xiaotian broke out in a sweat.


    ¡°The Heavenly Tribtion me isparable to the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire encountered when breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm,¡± Master Ding said, ¡°Even if you¡¯re strong in the Venerable Realm, it¡¯s not possible for you to withstand it.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian felt his heart sink.


    Should he give up at the veryst step?


    However, he had the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, the Ziwei Divine me, and the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire,¡± Master Ding suddenly shifted his tone, ¡°There¡¯s still hope for you to withstand the Heavenly Tribtion Fire.¡±


    Damn it!


    Yang Xiaotian felt an urge to strangle the old man.


    Why didn¡¯t he just say that in the first ce?


    ¡°Although you possess the three great Divine mes, there is still a risk of being burned to extinction. You need to think carefully!¡± Master Ding said.<div>


    ¡°Just do it!¡± Yang Xiaotian replied without hesitation, his tone resolute.


    The journey of cultivation is all about struggling against Heavenly Fate. If he shrinks back now, then there¡¯s no point in talking about reaching the Divine Spirit Realm, let alone the Heavenly God Realm.


    After Yang Xiaotian finished speaking, he bravely spurred his True Yuan and blood to break through thest acupoint.


    Boom!


    As Yang Xiaotian broke through thest acupoint, it was like thunder exploding, his entire body burst into light, with all acupoints emitting an iparably fierce golden glow.


    One thousand two hundred ny-six acupoints formed a constetion Formation Map.


    Above the Nine Heavens, the golden Heavenly Nectar descended once again.


    The moment the golden Heavenly Nectar merged with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s flesh, streams of me emanated from his True Yuan and blood.


    These mes, filled with the aura of Heavenly Tribtion, swept over Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body with the power to burn everything.


    Extreme pain spread throughout Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, reaching the depths of his soul.


    Even the pain of merging the Beast Soul of the Abyssal Master wasn¡¯t as excruciating. This pain surpassed any he had previously endured.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face contorted in agony.


    He clenched his teeth and summoned the power of the three great Divine mes.<div>


    The light of the Ziwei Divine me, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, and the Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire zed forth, their powers constantly resisting the Heavenly Tribtion Fire.


    Even so, the pain was excruciating; Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body went numb, feeling as if he was being continuously burned inside a cauldron, on the verge of being reduced to ashes at any moment.


    Moreover, as the Heavenly Nectar continued to merge with his flesh, the Heavenly Tribtion me grew ever stronger.

 Chapter 447: 447 I Resist I Resist I Resist Ah

    Chapter 447: Chapter 447 I Resist I Resist I Resist Ah


    The Heavenly Tribtion me grew stronger and stronger, and Yang Xiaotian clenched his teeth in agony.


    This extreme pain originated from his entire body, from his blood, flesh, bones, organs, and even his soul.


    It hurt so much that he wanted to pass out.


    However, Yang Xiaotian steadfastly activated the three Divine mes, constantly resisting the Heavenly Tribtion me.


    If heaven wanted to annihte him, then he would annihte heaven!


    If the Heavenly Tribtion me wanted to extinguish him, then he would st away this Heavenly Tribtion me!


    Since the heavens did not wish for his cultivation sess, he was determined to achieve it!


    Boom!


    Yang Xiaotian frenziedly activated the three Divine mes.


    The power of the three Divine mes surged, like three towering seas, furiously bombarding the Heavenly Tribtion me.<div>


    Under the resistance and bombardment of the power of the three Divine mes, the Heavenly Tribtion me seemed to be intensely provoked, its power also surged wildly, crazily lunging at the three Divine mes.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body was alreadypletely enveloped by mes.


    From a distance, Yang Xiaotian had be a man of fire.


    Moreover, the three Divine mes and the Heavenly Tribtion me were constantly alternating, flickering on and off.


    Even a drop or a speck of Heavenly Tribtion me could incinerate a Saint Realm Powerhouse, yet now, it was spread all over Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body and even within his True Yuan.


    How terrifying that was.


    Fortunately, over the years, Yang Xiaotian had continuously ingested six-fold Tribtion Thunder Water, nine-fold Tribtion Thunder Water, and Life Essence Fluid, cultivating with Life God Fruit.


    As a result, the vitality in his body had reached a frightening level.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    It even possessed some abilities to bring back the dead.


    Otherwise, even with the three Divine mes, he would have long been burnt to ash.


    Under the force of the Heavenly Tribtion me, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body was slowly incinerated, but as it was incinerated, a surging vitality emerged from his body, and the burnt parts continually regenerated.


    The heavenly nectar kepting down, still continuously merging into his body.


    The Heavenly Tribtion me, far from being extinguished by the three Divine mes, became even more intense.


    Yang Xiaotian was in so much pain that even his soul cried out.


    Didn¡¯t Master Ding just say that, with the three Divine mes, he had a chance to withstand the Heavenly Tribtion me?


    Damn it!


    Is this what¡¯s called withstanding it?


    This ispletely not withstanding at all.


    The pain made him want to rush directly to the Undying Death God to pick a fight, to kill the Undying Death God.<div>


    ¡°Master Ding!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s soul cried out.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Master Ding¡¯s slow voice sounded.


    ¡°Is there no other way?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s soul continued to cry out.


    ¡°There is no other way.¡±<div>


    ¡°You must resist on your own.¡±


    Master Ding was indifferent.


    Damn it.


    I will resist!


    I will resist!


    I will resist!


    Yang Xiaotian frenziedly activated the power of the three Divine mes, and even at the end, he activated the power of the Life God Tree, desperately resisting the Heavenly Tribtion me.


    As long as he could withstand this Heavenly Tribtion me, as long as hepletely merged with the fourth heavenly nectar, his Eternal Divine Body would begin to form!


    He would then cultivate a true Eternal Divine Body.


    No matter what, he was withstanding it.


    The Heavenly Nectar continued to descend.


    For the first time, Yang Xiaotian felt a day pass by so slowly, as if it were as long as a century.


    Non-human pain persisted.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian kept gritting his teeth and enduring.


    Now, even his teeth were emitting fire, the fire of the Heavenly Tribtion me.


    His eyes, his tongue, his ears, and even his Supreme King Martial Soul and his two million-year Soul Rings were all emitting the Heavenly Tribtion me.


    Time trickled by.


    Previously, Yang Xiaotian had watched the Iceme Qilin and the Azure Thunder Python withstand the Heavenly Tribtion, but now he truly experienced the terror of the Tribtion.


    This was just the Heavenly Tribtion me, and there was yet to be the Heavenly Tribtion Thunder. If the Tribtion Thunder were added, he would certainly die.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was resisting the Heavenly Tribtion me and continuously merging with the fourth descent of the Heavenly Nectar, the Undying Death God, Corpse Demon, and others also learned that Yang Xiaotian had opened up one thousand and ny-five acupoints.


    ¡°To open three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in one go, three times, to draw the descent of the Heavenly Nectar!¡± Even the Corpse Demon, a demon from ancient times, changed his expression: ¡°What kind of freak is this kid, to be able to open three hundred and sixty-five acupoints each time, three times in a row!¡±


    Even the Lord of Myriad Gods had not been this freakish.


    Let alone the Lord of Myriad Gods, he even doubted if the Lord of Azure God had been this abnormal.


    And this kid also had a super abnormal cauldron.


    ¡°This kid must die, if he does not die, we cannot control the Azure God Continent,¡± said the Evil Buddha in a deep voice.


    ¡°But who can withstand that super abnormal cauldron?¡± the Blood Demon said in a dark voice: ¡°Moreover, this kid has cultivated the Eternal Divine Body, killing him is easier said than done.¡±<div>


    Suddenly the Undying Death God said: ¡°His Eternal Divine Body is not yet truly cultivated to sess, only after four absorptions of the Heavenly Nectar can the Eternal Divine Body be initially established, and he has only done so three times.¡±


    ¡°His Eternal Divine Body has not yet matured, we must kill him before it seeds!¡±


    The Undying Death God was well aware of the horror of the Eternal Divine Body.


    Once Yang Xiaotian cultivated the undying Immortal Divine Body, possessing the power of Eternal Time, it would be difficult to kill him again.


    How strong can you be, can you annihte time?


    Therefore, he must kill Yang Xiaotian before the Eternal Divine Body was cultivated.


    After thinking it over, the Undying Death God took out a medicine bottle and said, ¡°This is the Heavenly Tribtion Poison.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Tribtion Poison!¡± Upon hearing that the medicine bottle contained Heavenly Tribtion Poison, Corpse Demon, Evil Buddha, and Blood Demon all changed their expressions.


    Just as there is the Heavenly Tribtion me in the world, there is also the Heavenly Tribtion Poison.


    The terror of Heavenly Tribtion Poison was no less than that of the Heavenly Tribtion me.


    ¡°I have found out that the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce is going to hold a feast at the end of the year, and they have invited Yang Xiaotian,¡± the Undying Death God said with a cold smile.


    Upon hearing this, the Corpse Demon and the others understood what the Undying Death God meant.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian would never imagine that his drink would contain Heavenly Tribtion Poison!¡± the Undying Death Godughed maniacally: ¡°Yang Xiaotian is now the darling of the Azure God Academy, if he were to die in the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce, hehe, the Azure God Academy would definitely fight to the death with the Myriad Gods Imperial n!¡±<div>


    This move could both kill Yang Xiaotian and cause conflict between the Azure God Academy and the Myriad Gods Imperial n, killing two birds with one stone, absolutely exhrating.


    The Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha allughed loudly.


    ¡°If this kid dies, that cauldron bes an ownerless object! It will no longer pose a threat!¡±


    As long as Yang Xiaotian died, and if they then obliterated the Azure Bear, the Azure God Continent would be in their pocket.


    ¡°However, I must get that old manual from the Azure God, before the next tide in the Sea of Stars, I need to enter the Sea of Stars and find the Star God Tree!¡± said the Undying Death God.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, Your Excellency the Undying, this time, we will definitely get our hands on that manual.¡±


    Sunset dusk.


    In the midst of pain Yang Xiaotian felt like life and death, finally, the day was about to end.


    The Heavenly Nectar reached its final moment, and the Heavenly Tribtion me seemed to know it was about to end, growing even more frenzied.


    The stronger you are, the stronger I am!


    Yang Xiaotian too insanely spurred on the power of the three Divine mes and the Life God Tree.


    Finally, the descent of the Heavenly Nectarpletely stopped, and thest drop of nectar merged into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.

 Chapter 448: 448 Heavenly Fate Divine Body

    Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Heavenly Fate Divine Body


    As thest drop of sweet rain was absorbed by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, the Heavenly Tribtion me surged up, ready to strike its final blow.


    However, the Heavenly Tribtion me ultimately struggled in vain between life and death.


    Yang Xiaotian withstood thest strike of the Heavenly Tribtion me.


    With reluctance, the Heavenly Tribtion me eventually dissipated between heaven and earth.


    As the Heavenly Tribtion me dissipated, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body radiated an enchanting luster, a glow of rebirth from nirvana, born anew after a trial of life and death.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body was filled with the aura of Eternal Time.


    This time, the aura of Eternal Time was no longer gentle and weak as before, but rather intense and overwhelming, so overpowering that even Yang Xiaotian himself couldn¡¯t help but surge with excitement.


    Yang Xiaotian tried to activate the power of the Eternal Divine Body, and suddenly, a river formed by the condensation of time spread out from him as the center, diffusing into the surrounding heaven and earth.


    Boom!


    Wherever it passed, everything was utterly destroyed.<div>


    All turned into Time Sand Grains.


    Whether it was the mountains or the trees, all were transformed into Time Sand Grains, all assimted and corroded by the force of time.


    Yang Xiaotian hurriedly stopped, frightened by the power.


    Even so, within a hundred miles around him, everything had disappeared.


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked. Was this the power of the Eternal Divine Body? It was so strong! So abnormal!


    If he were to confront an enemy in the future and directly unleash the power of the Eternal Divine Body, wouldn¡¯t the opponent be sted into Time Sand Grains?


    Such power was simply too domineering, making the opponent disappear from heaven and earth without even leaving a trace of blood.


    After the shock, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t contain the excitement and joy in his heart. He had finally cultivated the Eternal Divine Body and now possessed the power of Eternal Time. He had an added assurance in dealing with the Undying Death God, the Corpse Demon, and others.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Master Ding, seeing that Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Eternal Divine Body, was likewise excited: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to actually seed!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    So Master Ding wasn¡¯t really confident in him just now.


    Actually, it¡¯s no wonder Master Ding thought so, after all, cultivating the Eternal Divine Body was extremely difficult, and throughout history, only one person in the Martial Soul World had been sessful.


    That was the Dominator of Heaven and Earth in the Martial Soul World.


    ¡°Congrattions, young fellow!¡± Master Ding said with a happyugh: ¡°I hope you keep it up and can cultivate the Heavenly Fate Divine Body!¡±


    ¡°The Heavenly Fate Divine Body!¡± Yang Xiaotian was shocked.


    ¡°Yes, the Heavenly Fate Divine Body!¡± Master Ding smiled: ¡°When that timees, controlling Destiny, that¡¯s when you¡¯ll really be awesome.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.


    The Heavenly Fate Divine Body?


    The Heavenly Fate Divine Body, to control Destiny, just this alone shows the might of the Heavenly Fate Divine Body.<div>


    ¡°Master Ding, how can one cultivate the Heavenly Fate Divine Body?¡± asked Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Once you break through to the Emperor Realm and condense fifteen of the strongest Heavenly Fates, you can cultivate the Heavenly Fate Divine Body,¡± Master Ding said.


    Fifteen of the strongest Heavenly Fates!


    Yang Xiaotian choked.<div>


    He hadn¡¯t even cultivated his fifteenth Sword Heart yet.


    And now, fifteen of the strongest Heavenly Fates?


    Even for a Martial Emperor, cultivating even one Heavenly Fate is considered an astonishing feat, and a Martial Emperor who can cultivate four Heavenly Fates is extremely rare to find.


    Back then, the Lord of Azure God had only managed to cultivate fourteen Heavenly Fates.


    One can imagine how difficult it must be to cultivate the fifteenth, strongest Heavenly Fate.


    However, he hadn¡¯t broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm yet, so it was too early to talk about the Heavenly Fate Divine Body.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t continue to consume the remaining two Life God Fruits and hastily returned to the Azure God Academy.


    After all, the grand banquet at the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce was about to take ce.


    Once back at the mountain peak of the Azure God Academy, Yang Xiaotian continued to ponder over the several Divine Swords.


    The next day, Princess Wan Ning came to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cave dwelling.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Today, Princess Wan Ning was wearing a long dress and had applied light makeup, which gave her a stunning appearance.


    Standing before Yang Xiaotian, she couldn¡¯t hide her joy, her face brimming with a charming smile, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, the imperial banquet is about to start, shall we go now?¡±


    Looking at Princess Wan Ning in front of him, who had dressed up so carefully, Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°Sure, Senior Sister Wan, let¡¯s go.¡±<div>


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and Princess Wan Ning walked side by side out of his cave dwelling.


    In a few days, it would be New Year¡¯s.


    After the New Year, Yang Xiaotian would be fifteen years old.


    Over these years, Yang Xiaotian had continuously consumed Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water to cultivate, perfecting his physique, and now stood over one meter eighty tall, much taller than the already tall Wan Ning.


    As Wan Ning walked out side by side with Yang Xiaotian, her heart fluttered.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang,¡± Wan Ning suddenly said with a soft and delicate voice that was very pleasant to hear, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, then he smiled and said, ¡°The matter of the Sea of Stars was a mere trifle. There¡¯s no need for formality, Senior Sister Wan.¡±


    Wan Ning smiled, ¡°I¡¯m talking about the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill of heavenly grade.¡±


    Coming to an understanding, Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°Ah, that. Senior Sister, you¡¯ve given me so many Divine Medicine dregs. A little Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill of heavenly grade is nothing. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Then he added, ¡°Do you still need more Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills of heavenly grade? I still have a lot of them.¡±


    Curiosity filled Wan Ning¡¯s beautiful eyes, ¡°You still have a lot?¡±


    She was curious about how much exactly Yang Xiaotian had and how he came to possess so many Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills of heavenly grade.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and said with a smile, ¡°A lot.¡±


    Some days ago, fearing it would be difficult to procure medicinal ingredients, he had exerted his full effort in refining the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill. Now, he still had more than a hundred left.<div>


    He was about to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, and these Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills of heavenly grade would not be of much use to him anymore.


    However, Wan Ning did not delve deeper into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s possession of the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills of heavenly grade. Her tone turned cheerful as she said, ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯ve sessively opened three hundred and sixty-five acupoints three times in a row, cultivating the Eternal Divine Body. I¡¯ve heard that even the Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion himself was shocked.¡±


    ¡°Is that so,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    Wan Ning nodded emphatically, still smiling, ¡°The Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion has high praise for Junior Brother.¡± Then she continued, ¡°At this imperial banquet, Azure God Mansion will also have an Ancient Ancestor bringing disciples to participate.¡±


    ¡°Many Empire Great Emperors from the surroundings have alsoe; they all wish to meet Junior Brother.¡±


    Upon saying this, Wan Ning¡¯s smile caused her eyes to curve beautifully, quite captivating, ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯ve be quite a sensation across the Azure God Continent. My father says that your fame has even surpassed his.¡±


    ¡°I am but a young novice, far fromparable with Great Emperor Myriad Gods,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, shaking his head.


    Although he had cultivated the Eternal Divine Body and created Divine Miracles, it was still his extraordinary talent at y.


    Great Emperor Myriad Gods was the first emperor of the Azure God Continent. When it came to status and position, he was still far from being able topare with him, of this, he was well aware.


    Wan Ningughed and said, ¡°My father says that you will soon surpass him.¡± Then she added, ¡°At the banquet, some Martial Emperors might wish to spar with Junior Brother.¡±


    Whether it was the Ancient Ancestor of Azure God Mansion or the Empire Great Emperors from around, everyone was eager to witness Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat power.


    So, the disciples they brought from the Martial Emperor Realm would likely seek to exchange a few moves with Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. He too was eager to use some Martial Emperors to test his current strength; he was more than willing to have Martial Emperors as his sparring partners.<div>

 Chapter 449: 449 Just Give It Your All

    Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Just Give It Your All


    Yang Xiaotian and Princess Wan Ning flew through the sky, chatting leisurely as they made their way to the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce.


    Princess Wan Ning asionally let out softughter.


    The maids following at a distance were surprised to see their princess behaving this way; she was usually proud and cold, never before so close with a man.


    Moreover, today might well be the day she hasughed the most.


    They had never seen their princessugh so heartily before.


    At that moment, the gates of the Imperial Capital were guarded by arge contingent of imperial powerhouses.


    Thisrge group of imperial elites was there bymand of their Great Emperor, to wee the arrival of Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian.


    Everyone was looking forward with eager anticipation.


    As all eyes were straining into the distance, several figures appeared on the horizon.


    ¡°Here theye.¡± Upon sighting Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning, the imperial guards stationed at the gates were jolted into action, hastily making themselves presentable.<div>


    ¡°We¡¯ve seen Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve seen Your Highness Princess.¡±


    As the guards caught sight of Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning from afar, they all bowed and called out loudly. Their voices carried for miles, causing the surrounding dust to rise into the air.


    ¡°It¡¯s the imperial escorts sent by Father to wee you, Junior Brother,¡± Wan Ning said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the throng of imperial experts and said with a smile, ¡°Your father is too courteous.¡±


    ¡°He ought to be,¡± Wan Ning replied with a smile, and then she and Yang Xiaotian arrived at the city gates of the Imperial Capital, where they were escorted by a crowd of imperial elites into the city.


    Inside the Imperial Capital, prosperity abounded.


    A few days earlier, the streets of Myriad Gods Imperial City had been empty after the Fan Family was destroyed by the Undying Death God, but today they bustled with life, busy with the traffic of carts and horses.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    On both sides of the streets, countless sect and family disciples stopped to watch.


    ¡°Is that young man Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian?!¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him, Divine Yang who possesses two Divine Elixir Golden Cores and has opened one thousand and ny-five acupoints, cultivating the Eternal Divine Body!¡±


    ¡°Great Emperor Myriad Gods has dispatched thousands of experts to wee him to the imperial banquet.¡±


    Many of the watching sect and family disciples were thrilled, looking at Yang Xiaotian with admiration in their eyes.


    Many people even bowed excitedly to Yang Xiaotian.


    Thus, as Yang Xiaotian passed by, numerous sects and family disciples bowed to him, and even many Martial Emperor Realm experts bowed to him as well.


    This scene left many imperial elites in awe.


    Seeing even Martial Emperor Realm experts bowing to Yang Xiaotian of their own volition revealed the status he had in the hearts of the warriors of the Myriad Gods Empire.


    While receiving bows from the disciples of various sects and families along the way, Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning made their way to the Imperial Pce.


    At the grand entrance of the Imperial Pce, there were even more imperial elites who hade to wee Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Seeing so many powerhouses dispatched by Great Emperor Myriad Gods to wee him made Yang Xiaotian feel a bit ufortable.


    Surrounded by a throng of imperial powerhouses, Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning entered the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce.


    The Myriad Gods Empire truly lived up to its reputation as the number one empire on the Azure God Continent, with the Imperial Pce being extremely grand and majestic, its buildings unparalleled in splendor.


    After Yang Xiaotian and Wan Ning entered the Imperial Pce, some pce maids and disciples peeked out from afar, obviously curious about Yang Xiaotian and stealthily watching from a distance.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian, Wan Ning, and the others made their way toward the banquet za, but before they arrived, a little girl about seven or eight years old, with two long braids, came running over. Her eyes were bright, and in a tender voice she asked Wan Ning, ¡°Second Sister, is he Divine Yang from the Emperor Sanqian?¡±


    Princess Wan Ning looked affectionately at the little girl and smiled, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s your admired Brother Xiaotian.¡± Then she turned to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°This is my little sister Wan Jing. She admires you greatly and even ims that one day she will defeat you.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian looked at the little girl before him and smiled, ¡°Is that so? Defeat me?¡±


    ¡°Mhm, Father says you have the best talent in the Azure God Continent right now. These days he has been praising you non-stop, so, I want to defeat you and be the one with the best talent in the Azure God Continent,¡± the little girl said with determination in her eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled. This little girl sure had big ambitions.


    ¡°Okay, then I will wait for you to challenge me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile. ¡°Just don¡¯t cry if you lose when the timees.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t cry. Don¡¯t you cry if you lose,¡± the little girl retorted with a humph.


    Everyone chuckled.


    At the feast in the square, Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng of the Myriad Gods Empire had been eagerly waiting. Hearing that Yang Xiaotian was about to arrive, he said to the many powerhouses present with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian will be here soon, gentlemen. How about we all go and meet this young hero together?¡±


    The Azure God Mansion Ancestor Zhong Huiughed and said, ¡°Good. Yang Xiaotian is highly regarded by Lord Xi Long, and I too am eager to meet this young man.¡±


    Other emperors and Sword God Powerhouses also stood up upon hearing Wan Guangfeng and Zhong Hui speak.


    So, everyone left the square.


    Yang Xiaotian had just arrived at the square when he saw Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng, Azure God Mansion Ancestor Zhong Hui, and a host of emperors and Sword God Powerhouses alling out to greet him, which took him aback.<div>


    Princess Wan Ning quickly stepped forward and approached Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng, bowing slightly, ¡°Father.¡± Then she greeted the other powerhouses.


    Wan Guangfeng nodded with a smile to Princess Wan Ning, his gaze then falling on Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Friend Yang truly has an imposing aura.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian hurried over to the group and greeted them with a sped fist, ¡°I have seen the Great Emperor and all the seniors here.¡±


    Wan Guangfeng said with a smile, ¡°Friend Yang, there¡¯s no need to be so formal.¡± He continued with augh, ¡°From now on, consider the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce your home.¡±


    Listening to her father¡¯s words, which seemed to imply something, Princess Wan Ning¡¯s face turned red.


    Afterward, Wan Guangfeng introduced Yang Xiaotian to everyone. A round of greeting ensued and they all entered the feast in the square.


    Once the guests of honor had taken their seats, they enjoyed a session of drinking and merry-making with lively chatter andughter.


    During the third round of drinks, Lin Yue, a direct disciple of the Azure God Mansion Ancestor who sat near Zhong Hui, couldn¡¯t help but stand up and say, ¡°I am Lin Yue from the Azure God Mansion. I¡¯ve heard that Junior Brother Yang has unlocked one thousand and ny-five acupoints and has cultivated the Eternal Divine Body. I wish to experience the power of the Eternal Divine Body. Would Junior Brother Yang be willing to enlighten me?¡±


    The crowd immediately perked up, all eyes on Yang Xiaotian.


    Many hade just to see the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s one thousand and ny-five acupoints and his Eternal Divine Body.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    The crowd listened, all eyes brightening, as they set down their wine cups.


    Lin Yue leaped up andnded in the center of the square.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian rose from his seat too and walked to the center of the square.


    All became quiet.


    In a pce deep within the Imperial Pce, two white-haired elders were using the Heavenly Eye Divine Skill to watch Yang Xiaotian.


    The two were none other than Wan Shiwei and Medicine God Feng Yiming of the Myriad Gods Imperial n.


    ¡°The leftover divine medicine you asked me for a few days ago, you gave it to this Yang Xiaotian?¡± Medicine God Feng Yiming asked, ¡°But he has only triggered the Heavenly Nectar three times; his Eternal Divine Body isn¡¯t sessful yet. He shouldn¡¯t be a match for Lin Yue.¡±


    Lin Yue had not concealed his aura, which made it clear to everyone that he was a master of the tenth level of the Martial Emperor Realm.


    Wan Shiwei nodded, ¡°The Eternal Divine Body is indeed powerful, but since Xiaotian is only in the Venerable Realm now, it¡¯s normal that he is no match for Lin Yue.¡±


    Lin Yue looked at Yang Xiaotian opposite him and said, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, since you haven¡¯t yet broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, it would be dishonorable for me to win in a fight against you. How about this, I¡¯ll suppress my realm to the fourth level of the Martial Emperor Realm to fight you?¡±


    ¡°No need for that,¡± Yang Xiaotian replied, shaking his head, ¡°Just go all out.¡±

 Chapter 450: 450: 1296 Pieces

    Chapter 450: Chapter 450: 1296 Pieces


    ¡°`


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian telling Lin Yue not to hold back his realm and to go all out, the scene left all the Empire Great Emperors and Ancient Ancestors in astonishment.


    Lin Yue was no ordinary Martial Emperor; being able to enter the Azure God Mansion and be the direct disciple of the Azure God Mansion Ancestor Zhong Hui, his talent was absolutely astonishing, and hisbat strength was incredibly formidable.


    Even if Lin Yue suppressed his realm to the fourth level of Martial Emperor, it was still uncertain whether Yang Xiaotian could win.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian actually wanted Lin Yue to go full force.


    Zhong Hui smiled amiably and said, ¡°Friend Yang, Lin Yue is my direct disciple, and hisbat strength is extraordinary. Are you sure you want him to go all out?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian sped his fists with a smile and replied, ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Senior Zhong, but I would still like to invite Brother Lin to go all out.¡±


    Zhong Hui nodded and said to Lin Yue, ¡°In that case, just stop at the right time.¡±


    He was afraid Lin Yue might injure Yang Xiaotian.


    Thus, he reminded Lin Yue to just go to a certain point.<div>


    After all, Yang Xiaotian was now the supreme treasure of both the Azure God Academy and the Azure God Mansion. If anything happened to him, the Sword God Xi Long would probably be the first to seek him out for a bout and then also proceed to stop at the right measure.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Lin Yue responded respectfully. Turning to Yang Xiaotian, he sped his fists and said, ¡°Junior Brother Yang, please make a move.¡± With that, he stood there, gesturing for Yang Xiaotian to attack.


    No sooner had Lin Yue finished speaking than Yang Xiaotian immediately moved.


    Dark light surged around Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, like a ghost walking through the darkness, and in an instant, he was in front of his opponent, unleashing a fierce punch.


    As Yang Xiaotian threw his punch, the power of one thousand and ny-five acupoint True Essence surged instantly.


    Golden light roared.


    The overwhelming True Essence Power, like one thousand and ny-five breached seas, surged forth.


    In that moment, above and below the heavens, it was all Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Essence Power.


    Feeling the surging power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Essence, Lin Yue was taken aback, and with his Emperor Realm True Essence, he threw out a punch fiercely.


    Boom!


    Their fists collided.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Yue, at the tenth level of the Emperor Realm, was shaken and forced to step back.


    One step, two steps, three steps¡­


    He retreated more than a dozen steps.


    The crowd was shocked.


    Once a Martial Venerable broke through to the Emperor Realm, their True Essence would transform again, their True Essence Power would be stronger, and likewise, their body would undergo a transformation, bing a Martial Emperor¡¯s body.


    Lin Yue, a tenth-level Martial Emperor, was actually shaken back by Yang Xiaotian.


    Although it was Yang Xiaotian who suddenly made a move, and Lin Yue seemed somewhat unprepared, it still shocked everyone.


    So strong!<div>


    After their shock, everyone¡¯s first thought was that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s physical body and True Essence Power were terrifyingly strong.


    Deep within the Imperial Pce, Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming both were greatly astonished and taken aback by this oue.


    ¡°This Youngster Yang is so strong!¡± Feng Yiming¡¯s eyes widened.


    To shake back a tenth-level Emperor Realmbatant while at the peak of the tenth level of Venerable Realm was simply unheard of.<div>


    Normally, even dozens of fighters at the peak of the tenth level of Venerable Realm banding together wouldn¡¯t be a match for a first-level Great Emperor, let alone someone at the tenth level of the Emperor Realm like Lin Yue.


    To put it bluntly, even ten thousand peak-level Venerables together might not be a match for Lin Yue.


    But now, Lin Yue was shaken back by Yang Xiaotian.


    Although it was merely a pushback and not a defeat, it still amazed everyone.


    Lin Yue¡¯s arm went numb from the shock; he could hardly lift it. Staring at Yang Xiaotian, he too was stunned.


    His True Essence circted, easing the pain in his arm. He stared at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Junior Brother Yang to be so strong. Since that¡¯s the case, Lin Yue will no longer hold back and will go all out.¡±


    ¡°Please also give it your all, Junior Brother Yang.¡±


    Hearing Lin Yue asking him to go all out, Yang Xiaotianughed and said, ¡°Okay, Senior Brother Lin, please!¡±


    Lin Yue made his move.


    He fully activated all his True Essence Power.


    At the same time, a domineering and hellish aura spread out from him.


    ¡°`


    Feeling the intense, prison-like aura emanating from Lin Yue, the crowd was astonished.<div>


    ¡°Is that the Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body?!¡±


    The Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body, too, is a legendary Divine Body.


    Legend has it that this Divine Body is one of the most formidable Divine Bodies from Hell.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    This Divine Body, just like Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Eternal Divine Body, is an Acquired Divine Body cultivated through training.


    Just then, an overwhelmingly powerful force of light burst forth from Lin Yue, and behind him, a Burning Angel Shadow took shape.


    ¡°Holy Angel Body!¡±


    When the crowd saw the Burning Angel Shadow behind Lin Yue, they were shocked once more.


    The Holy Angel Body is the strongest Divine Body of the angelic lineage from the Ancient God n.


    The Holy Angel Body is Innate.


    Therefore, Lin Yue must have the bloodline of the angelic lineage of the Ancient God n, and that of the royal bloodline at that, otherwise, it would not be possible for him to have the Holy Angel Body.


    It was already extraordinary for Lin Yue to possess the Holy Angel Body, but now that he had sessfully cultivated the Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body, the intertwining of light and dark forces would boost Lin Yue¡¯sbat power to an astonishing degree.


    Although it was expected that, as a Direct Disciple of Zhong Hui, Lin Yue would be gifted, the sight of his Holy Angel Body and Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body still left everyone taken aback.


    ¡°I had no idea that Lin Yue possessed the Holy Angel Body, and he even cultivated the Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body,¡± Feng Yiming remarked in surprise.<div>


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how Yang the kid is going to handle this,¡± Wan Shiwei said with augh.


    By now, with the powers of the Holy Angel Body and the Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body activated, Lin Yue, at the tenth level of the Emperor Realm, utterly overwhelmed Yang Xiaotian.


    The two of them were eager to know how Yang Xiaotian would withstand Lin Yue¡¯s attack.


    Having activated the powers of both Divine Bodies, Lin Yue now held two swords in his hands.


    One was the Dark Sword, and the other was the Sword of Bright.


    It was evident that these two swords were forged from materials of darkness and light.


    With a step, he approached Yang Xiaotian, wielding the Dark Sword and the Sword of Bright together, as the powers of the Holy Angel Body and the Suppressing Heavenly Prison Divine Body were both activated.


    The two swords unleashed a terrifying burst of dark and light forces.


    Endless Sword Qi shot out towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Unnoticed by anyone, a sh of blood-red light had disappeared from Lin Yue¡¯s eyes the moment he swung his swords.


    Seeing the boundless Sword Qi about to engulf Yang Xiaotian, Wan Ning¡¯s pretty face changed, and she clenched her small hands nervously.


    Just when everyone thought that Yang Xiaotian would be repelled by Lin Yue¡¯s sword strike, suddenly, the Acupoint True Essence within Yang Xiaotian began to be urged on, continuously getting activated.


    After activating the one thousand and ny-fifth acupoint, the one thousand and ny-sixth acupoint was stimted.<div>


    Then, the one thousand and ny-seventh.


    In a blink, he broke through to one thousand two hundred acupoints.


    ¡°What? One thousand two hundred acupoints!¡± Wan Guangfeng and all the powerful people present were shocked.


    No one had expected Yang Xiaotian to have unblocked one thousand two hundred acupoints.


    The Emperor Master of the past had only unblocked a little over six hundred.


    Now, Yang Xiaotian had unblocked one thousand two hundred!


    Amidst the crowd¡¯s shock, the number of acupoints activated by Yang Xiaotian continued to soar.


    ¡°One thousand two hundred and ny!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°One thousand two hundred and ny-five!¡±


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s activated acupoints reached one thousand two hundred and ny-five, everyone was horrified.


    Just one more, and Yang Xiaotian would have unblocked all the acupoints in his body!


    Boom!


    A golden pir of light surged once more from Yang Xiaotian.


    The one thousand two hundred and ny-sixth acupoint!

 Chapter 451: 451: Dao Heart Demon Seed

    Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Dao Heart Demon Seed


    The moment Yang Xiaotian activated the 1,296th acupoint, the entire Imperial Pce began to tremble.


    Dazzling golden light illuminated every corner of the Imperial Pce.


    The pces where Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming were located were also lit up, and even the strongest restrictions in the deepest parts of the Imperial Pce couldn¡¯t resist this golden light.


    The mysterious power of the golden light even illuminated the souls of all people.


    Under the golden light, all the circumstances of the world were exposed, leaving nothing hidden.


    Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming were stunned.


    Wan Guangfeng, Zhong Hui, and a plethora of Great Emperors stared in shock at the golden pir that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.


    ¡°1,296 acupoints!¡±


    ¡°He has opened all acupoints!¡±


    The entire body of the Buddha Imperial Lineage Ancient Ancestor trembled.<div>


    Since ancient times, no one had been able to open 1,296 acupoints.


    And now, Yang Xiaotian had done it.


    The light from the 1,296 acupoints illuminated the world, casting a goldenyer over everything.


    An Innate Formation Diagram appeared in the void.


    As the Formation Map rotated, overwhelming and supreme power enveloped the world.


    All the powerhouses in the Imperial Capital stared in astonishment at the Formation Map in the void.


    Just as Lin Yue¡¯s Dual Swords¡¯ Sword Qi was about to strike Yang Xiaotian, an aura of the Eternal of Time billowed out from Yang Xiaotian.


    The power of Time drowned everything.


    Destroyed everything.


    Corroded everything.


    Dominating, overbearing, and unstoppable.


    Lin Yue¡¯s astonishing Sword Qi was instantly engulfed by the power of Time, turning into Time Sand Grains.


    The power of the Holy Angel Body and the might of the Heaven and Earth Dominator¡¯s Divine Body were all assimted by Time.


    Everything waspletely destroyed.


    Even the Sword of Bright and the Dark Sword in Lin Yue¡¯s hands began to disintegrate inch by inch, transforming into Time Sand Grains.


    Frightened, Lin Yue flew away in terror.


    Even as Lin Yue fled in an instant, the power of Time continued to devour, continued to corrode.


    Everything it passed turned to Time Sand Grains.


    When Lin Yue retreated to the edge of the square in a ragged state, the power of Time finally ceased.<div>


    It was because Yang Xiaotian had timely retracted the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    Even so, the ground where the power of Time had scoured was now reduced to nothingness, and even the surface of the square had been carved out into a terrifying deep pit.


    Everyone involuntarily gasped in shock.


    ¡°Eternal Divine Body!¡±<div>


    Such was the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    The eternal power of Time, terrifying like this!


    The Sword of Bright and the Dark Sword in Lin Yue¡¯s hands¡ªthe des hadpletely vanished, leaving only the hilts, which sat forlornly in Lin Yue¡¯s grasp.


    Zhong Hui was filled with fear; he personally tailored those two swords for his disciple, using the hardest materials in the world, yet they were corroded and assimted by the power of Time.


    This Eternal Divine Body was too terrifying.


    Furthermore, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Eternal Divine Body was only just beginning to form. If he continued to cultivate further, even the Heavenly Sword could corrode and assimte, even the Divine Sword would be corroded and assimted.


    While everyone was shocked by the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Eternal Divine Body, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of blood, followed by a puff of gray-ck poison gas erupting from his body.


    All were astonished, then their expressions drastically changed.


    ¡°This is the Heavenly Tribtion Poison!¡± Zhong Hui eximed in fear.


    Heavenly Tribtion Poison!


    Everyone was terrified.


    Princess Wan Ning¡¯s face turned pale as she rushed towards Yang Xiaotian.


    But Wan Guangfeng was even quicker than Princess Wan Ning. With a sh, he arrived beside Yang Xiaotian and roared, ¡°Quick, go call for Lord Medicine God Feng!¡±<div>


    Just as Wan Guangfeng¡¯s words fell, two figures tore through the void and arrived at the scene¡ªit was Wan Shiwei and Medicine God Feng Yiming.


    Both Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming¡¯s faces changed dramatically.


    ¡°What happened?!¡± Wan Shiwei, like an enraged Beast God, burst forth with a tremendous aura, ¡°How could Yang have been poisoned with Heavenly Tribtion Poison!¡±


    As an Empire Ancestor of Myriad Gods Empire, a notable existence in the Azure God Continent, he was well aware of the terror of Heavenly Tribtion Poison.


    Once poisoned with Heavenly Tribtion Poison, one¡¯s death was certain!


    Facing the terrifying aura of Wan Shiwei, all the experts in Myriad Gods Imperial Pce felt suffocated and trembled.


    ¡°It was the wine!¡± At this moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice rang out.


    The wine!


    All eyes turned towards the cup that Yang Xiaotian had just been drinking from.


    Whereas the cup had shown no signs of abnormality before, it now emitted wisp after wisp of Heavenly Tribtion Poison before decaying into ash.


    Heavenly Tribtion Poison, invisible, colorless, tasteless; when one is poisoned, no abnormalities are shown, but after a while, it suddenly strikes. Once it strikes, there is no cure.


    Thus, Heavenly Tribtion Poison is also known as the incurable poison.


    Enraged, Wan Shiwei sternlymanded Wan Guangfeng, ¡°Seal off the Imperial Pce. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Capture everyone from the Imperial Kitchen, throw them all into the Heavenly Prison, and interrogate them under severe torture!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om<div>


    ¡°Anyone who has touched the wine cup, lock them all in the Heavenly Prison too!¡±


    Facing the wrath of the Empire Ancestor, even Wan Guangfeng, the Great Emperor of Myriad Gods, was fearful as he hurriedly gave the orders to lock down Myriad Gods Imperial Pce and capture everyone from the Imperial Kitchen.


    At this time, the Heavenly Tribtion Poison in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body began to rage violently,pletely enveloping him.


    Princess Wan Ning was so anxious that her eyes reddened.


    Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body emitted a glow of time, and the power of Eternal Time burgeoned from within him like a spring bursting forth.


    Under the cover of the power of Eternal Time, the poison, which had been violently surging, stopped its frenzied expansion as if its throat had been grabbed, and under the washout of the power of Eternal Time, it began to weaken gradually.


    Finally, under the power of time, it waspletely assimted and disappeared without a trace.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯splexion also gradually returned to normal.


    The originally furious Wan Shiwei, Wan Guangfeng, and the others were surprised and delighted.


    Princess Wan Ning was also joyous.


    Even Zhong Hui breathed a huge sigh of relief.


    Yang Xiaotian circted the power of the Eternal Divine Body through his body once, confirming that the Heavenly Tribtion Poison had been thoroughly eliminated, before finally stopping.


    ¡°Yang, how are you?¡± Wan Shiwei hurriedly approached and asked.<div>


    Wan Guangfeng quickly introduced Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming to Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing the anxious and worried expression on Wan Shiwei, Yang Xiaotian cupped his fist with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Elder Wan, I am fine now.¡±


    Wan Shiwei, hearing from Yang Xiaotian himself that he was unharmed, finallypletely rxed.


    He stroked his chin beard andughed heartily, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you have managed to open up one thousand two hundred and ny-six acupuncture points, initially forming the Eternal Divine Body. Even the progeny of Heaven and Earth could not surpass this.¡±


    Thest person to cultivate the Eternal Divine Body was the Heaven and Earth Dominator of the Martial Soul World.


    Now that Yang Xiaotian had also cultivated the Eternal Divine Body, it was normal to call him the progeny of Heaven and Earth.


    The other emperors also echoed this sentiment, congratting Yang Xiaotian.


    Just then, suddenly, a Commander of Myriad Gods Imperial Pce came over, reporting to Wan Guangfeng, ¡°Your Majesty, when we were about to capture Chief Steward Chen and the others, they suddenly had blood-red eyes and, as if possessed, violently attacked us.¡±


    Chief Steward Chen was the head of the Imperial Kitchen.


    Possessed? Wan Shiwei, puzzled, said in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s take a look!¡± Then he and the others flew towards the Imperial Kitchen.


    When they arrived at the za in front of the Imperial Kitchen, they saw Chief Steward Chen and dozens of others, all with blood-red eyes as if they had lost their sanity, violently attacking the elite guards of Myriad Gods Imperial Pce.


    Moreover, from the hearts of Chief Steward Chen and dozens of others, wisps of ck Demonic Qi were emanating.


    ¡°Dao Heart Demon Seed!¡± Both Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming, seeing the appearance of Chief Steward Chen and the others, thought of a terrifying legend and their faces changed dramatically.


    ¡°Dao Heart Demon Seed?!¡± Wan Guangfeng, upon hearing this, was also terrified, ¡°Does the Empire Ancestor mean the Dao Heart Demon Seed from the Ancient Heart Demon?¡±

 Chapter 452: 452 Ancient Heart Demon

    Chapter 452: Chapter 452 Ancient Heart Demon


    ¡°Ancient Heart Demon!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Many Great Emperors and Ancient Ancestors present trembled at the mention of the Ancient Heart Demon.


    The Ancient Heart Demon, known as the foremost demon of ancient times, was feared and notorious, ranking alongside the Undying Death God and the Undefeated Underworld God.


    The Lord of Azure God once had several formidable enemies, one being the Undefeated Underworld God, another the Undying Death God, and the third, undoubtedly the Ancient Heart Demon.


    That the Ancient Heart Demon ranked third did not imply it was less powerful than the Undefeated Underworld God and the Undying Death God; on the contrary, some believed it to be even more terrifying than the Undying Death God.


    Because what the Ancient Heart Demon cultivated was the Dao Heart Demon Body Scripture.


    It was also one of the most horrifying divine tomes in the world, capable of controlling the hearts of people.


    ¡°The Divine Tome records that the Ancient Heart Demon was killed by the Fan Family Ancestor, the Brahma God, and hundreds of peerless powerhouses. Could it be that the Ancient Heart Demon did not die?¡± Wan Guangfeng eximed in shock.


    Yang Xiaotian was startled by these words.


    Fan Family Ancestor?<div>


    He couldn¡¯t help but recall the terrifying demonic Qi that had emerged from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds days before.


    Could it be that the entity which emerged from the Fan Family Forbidden Grounds was the Ancient Heart Demon?


    If that was the case, the Azure God Continent was undoubtedly shrouded in yet anotheryer of gloom.


    ¡°If the Ancient Heart Demon isn¡¯t dead, then we¡¯re in trouble,¡± Wan Shiwei said, frowning deeply.


    The emergence of the Undying Death God, followed by the chaos caused by the Nether Sect, and now the Ancient Heart Demon!


    Just thinking about it weighed heavily on Wan Shiwei¡¯s mood.


    The destruction of the Fan Family might mean that the Wan Family could be the next target.


    Because an Ancient Ancestor of the Wan Family had also been involved in the battle to y the Ancient Heart Demon.


    If the Ancient Heart Demon was still alive, it would undoubtedly seek retribution against the Wan Family.


    Now, several dozen under Chief Steward Chen had been seeded with the Dao Heart Demon Seed, which was a sign.


    The numerous emperors of the surrounding empires remained silent, seemingly cowed by the might of the Ancient Heart Demon.


    ¡°Senior, is there no way to restore their sanity?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked Wan Shiwei, referring to the dozens of people like Chief Steward Chen who were attacking madly.


    ¡°There is,¡± Wan Shiwei said thoughtfully, ¡°Their sanity can be restored by eliminating the demon seed from their bodies. However, only the first three Divine mes can suppress the demon seed of the Dao Heart Demon Body Scripture.¡±


    The first three Divine mes?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Looking at Chief Steward Chen and the others with blood-red eyes, a sudden thought struck Yang Xiaotian, wondering if the power of Time from his Eternal Divine Body could suppress the demon seed of the Dao Heart Demon Body Scripture.


    At that thought, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward and threw a fierce punch. Instantly, the power of Time whistled through as it struck one person¡¯s heart.


    With a bang,


    The ck demonic Qi originally emanating from the person¡¯s chest was scattered by the power of Time.<div>


    The blood-red light in their eyes disappeared, and they regained their senses.


    The crowd was surprised and then overjoyed.


    ¡°The Eternal Divine Body is truly worthy of being an eternal divine body. Its power of Time can purify the demon seed of the Dao Heart Demon Body Scripture! This is wonderful!¡± Wan Shiweiughed heartily.


    Without a doubt, Yang Xiaotian had given everyone hope.<div>


    Seeing that the power of the Eternal Divine Body could indeed purify the demon seed of the Dao Heart Demon Body Scripture, Yang Xiaotian was pleased and immediately took action, striking toward Chief Steward Chen and the others.


    Soon, the demon seeds within Chief Steward Chen and the others were all purified, and they regained their senses.


    Afterward, Wan Shiwei inquired about the events leading up to Chief Steward Chen and the others being seeded with the Dao Heart Demon Seed.


    Yet, they could not find out much.


    Because all of them had heard an elusive Demon Sound at night and then lost consciousness; they had no knowledge of what happened afterward.


    The emergence of the Dao Heart Demon Seed meant that the banquet could not continue.


    One after another, the Great Emperors excused themselves and left.


    Zhong Hui from Azure God Mansion also took his leave, as the emergence of Dao Heart Demon Seed required him to report back to the Mansion Master as soon as possible and prepare early.


    Upon leaving, Zhong Hui smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°I hope to see Friend Yang at Azure God Mansion next year. Both the Mansion Master and Lord Xi Long are looking forward to Yang Xiaotian joining Azure God Mansion soon.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian responded with a fist and smile, ¡°Thank you for the senior¡¯s generous love. I will certainly work hard to join Azure God Mansion as soon as possible.¡±


    Zhong Hui nodded and smiled, ¡°Good! Lord Xi Long said you are the number one of this generation, and those youngsters at Azure God Mansion don¡¯t ept it yet. I hope when you join Azure God Mansion, you can curb their arrogance.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian chuckled; this question wasn¡¯t easy to answer.


    Under the escort of the high-ranking experts from Myriad Gods Imperial n, Zhong Hui left with his disciple Lin Yue.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian watched Lin Yue¡¯s departing figure, deep in thought.


    This Lin Yue, during their bout just now, Yang Xiaotian had sensed a killing intent from him.


    However, that killing intent was fleeting.


    Why did he want to kill him?


    ¡°Friend Yang, it¡¯s rare for you to visit the Imperial Pce. Why not stay a few more days?¡± Wan Shiwei said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, ¡°How about a heart-to-heart talk with us two old men?¡±


    He meant himself and Medicine God Feng Yiming.


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°To be invited by two seniors, Xiaotian couldn¡¯t ask for more.¡±


    Being able to talk heart-to-heart with two individuals of such status as Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming was not something just anyone could do.


    If he could receive guidance from the two, it would naturally be a great opportunity.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian stayed at Myriad Gods Imperial Pce, sharing conversations with Wan Shiwei and Feng Yiming.


    Meanwhile, far away, the Undying Death God had a grim expression: ¡°That kid has opened all his acupoints, and the Eternal Divine Body is initially formed?¡±


    ¡°Yes, his Eternal Divine Body is initially formed, and Heavenly Tribtion Poison couldn¡¯t kill him,¡± the Corpse Demon also said with a grim face.


    They had not expected Yang Xiaotian to open the remaining acupoints so quickly.<div>


    ¡°Now that his Eternal Divine Body is initially formed, it will be even harder to kill him in the future,¡± the Blood Demon said gravely.


    The Undying Death God¡¯s eyes flickered, ¡°Although the Eternal Divine Body is strong, he is only at the Venerable Realm right now and can¡¯t fully unleash the power of the Eternal Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°Regardless, we must find a way to kill him before he breaks through to the Saint Realm!¡±


    In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.


    The New Year was approaching.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian leave the Imperial Pce.


    Wan Ning and Wan Guangfeng sent Yang Xiaotian out of the Imperial Pce. Wan Guangfeng smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Divine Residence is not far from the Imperial Pce. Friend Yang should visit more often.¡±


    Then he added with augh, ¡°These past days, Ning¡¯er has been calling your name all day, at least dozens of times each day.¡±


    Wan Ning¡¯s pretty face turned red with embarrassment, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to Father¡¯s nonsense, there¡¯s nothing of the sort.¡±


    ¡°Nothing?¡± Wan Guangfengughed, ¡°Then I must have remembered wrong, it¡¯s only a dozen times each day.¡±


    Wan Ning¡¯s face flushed with nowhere to hide.


    Amidst Wan Guangfeng¡¯s teasing, Yang Xiaotian took his leave and returned to Divine Residence.


    Another New Year was upon them, and this year, he would not go anywhere but stay at Divine Residence to spend quality time with his family.<div>


    Wan Guangfeng watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s departing figure and said with a smile, ¡°To have such an unparalleled young man as my son-inw would be my good fortune.¡±


    Upon hearing her father¡¯s increasingly oundish remarks, Wan Ning blushed and protested, ¡°Father, Junior Brother Yang won¡¯t even be fifteen until after the New Year.¡±


    ¡°No matter, you can discuss marriage with him in a couple of years,¡± Wan Guangfeng said with a smile.


    Feeling extremely shy, Wan Ning stamped her foot and flew off.


    Her father, despite his age, still couldn¡¯t be serious.


    When Yang Xiaotian returned to Divine Residence, the ce was bustling with activity. A few days earlier, he hadmissioned Donghuang Xiu to procure arge amount of mineral materials, and the masters of the Dwarf n were constructing the third set of pceplexes.

 Chapter 453: 453 Ancestor of Beast God

    Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Ancestor of Beast God


    Because Yang Xiaotian returned without notifying everyone, the others did note out.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the martial training grounds, he only saw countless Sword Qi, and, to his surprise, his younger sister Yang Ling¡¯er was practicing her swordsmanship.


    Yang Ling¡¯er was cultivating the True Dragon Sword Technique from the True Dragon Divine Sect, and she had already reached the realm of Summit Mastery. Although Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s Martial Dao Talent was not as exceptional as Yang Xiaotian¡¯s, it was still outstanding, and she had cultivated many Supreme Divine Powers to the peak.


    ¡°Big brother!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er, who was practicing her swordsmanship, suddenly saw Yang Xiaotian, her pretty face lit up with joy, and she ran over.


    ¡°You¡¯ve cultivated your sword technique well,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.


    Yang Ling¡¯er giggled and said, ¡°I will strive to catch up with big brother in the future.¡±


    ¡°Where are father and mother?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked with a smile.


    ¡°They just went out,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°Big brother, what kind of red envelope are you going to give me this year?¡±


    ¡°New Year¡¯s hasn¡¯t arrived yet.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a few days away, and you recently won first ce in the Azure God Academy grandpetition. Father and mother were so happy. This year, you have to give me a big red envelope.¡±<div>


    ¡°When have the red envelopes I gave ever been small?¡±


    The siblings were chatting andughing as they walked back to the main pce.


    After returning, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Demon Ape, Iceme Kylin, and the others, then informed them about the Ancient Heart Demon and told them to be careful in the future.


    ¡°The Ancient Heart Demon is still alive!¡± The Demon Ape also frowned tightly, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then the Azure God Mansion is in danger.¡±


    The Iceme Kylin also looked worried, ¡°If the Undying Death God and the Ancient Heart Demon join forces, even Lord Azure Bear might not be able to suppress the two.¡±


    ¡°If they lead the experts of the three great Demon Sects to attack the Azure God Mansion and rescue the Undefeated Underworld God¡¯s body, resurrecting the Undefeated Underworld God, then the Azure God Continent will probably be a dark hell.¡±


    The Azure Thunder Python, Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Man Fang, and the others all looked concerned.


    ¡°That might not necessarily be the case,¡± the Azure Thunder Python suddenly spoke, ¡°If that person from the Divine Beast Mountain emerges and is willing to join forces with Lord Azure Bear, they might be able to suppress the Undying Death God and the Ancient Heart Demon.¡±


    Upon hearing the Azure Thunder Python mention that person from the Divine Beast Mountain, the eyes of the Demon Ape, Iceme Kylin, and the others lit up.


    ¡°Correct, if that person from the Divine Beast Mountain is willing to emerge and join forces with Lord Azure Bear, they can suppress the Undying Death God and the Ancient Heart Demon,¡± the Demon Ape agreed.


    ¡°Are you talking about the Golden me Heavenly Dragon?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The Golden me Heavenly Dragon was the Beast God of the Divine Beast Mountain,manding countless Fierce Beasts and stationed on the Divine Beast Mountain, absolutely one of the strongest beings on the Azure God Continent.


    It has been said that even if the Azure God Mansion were to be destroyed, the Divine Beast Mountain would always exist.


    This single statement was enough to show the immense power of the Divine Beast Mountain and the Golden me Heavenly Dragon.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian mention the Golden me Heavenly Dragon, the Demon Ape shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not him.¡± Then he continued, ¡°Young Master may not be aware, the strongest in Divine Beast Mountain is not the Golden me Heavenly Dragon.¡±


    ¡°Not the Golden me Heavenly Dragon?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised; he had always thought that the strongest on the Divine Beast Mountain was the Golden me Heavenly Dragon since the Golden me Heavenly Dragon was the Beast God of the Divine Beast Mountain.


    ¡°The Beast Ancestor,¡± the Demon Ape said slowly, with an extremely reverent tone.


    Beast Ancestor!


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked, ¡°The Ancestor of the Beast God? Is he still alive?¡±<div>


    He knew of the Beast Ancestor.


    The Beast Ancestor also called the Ancestor of the Beast God, an existence as ancient as Lord Azure Bear.


    The Demon Ape¡¯s expression was solemn as he nodded with reverence.


    ¡°But to persuade the Beast Ancestor to emerge is difficult,¡± the Demon Ape said with a wry smile, shaking his head. ¡°It is said that the Beast Ancestor once vowed that he would only emerge if the Heavenly Fate Divine Body appears.¡±<div>


    ¡°However, even the Lord of the Azure God was unable to cultivate the Heavenly Fate Divine Body. Waiting for the Heavenly Fate Divine Body to appear is not easy,¡± he added.


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was shaken, ¡°So the Ancestor of the Beast God will emerge if the Heavenly Fate Divine Body appears?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Iceme Kylin also nodded, ¡°The legend says so. The Beast Ancestor made a vow that unless the Heavenly Fate Divine Body appears, he will never emerge.¡±


    ¡°Hence, to have the Beast Ancestor emerge, the Heavenly Fate Divine Body must appear.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian muttered, ¡°Why?¡± He was wondering why the Beast Ancestor insisted on waiting for the birth of the Heavenly Fate Divine Body before making an appearance.


    ¡°Nobody knows,¡± said the Demon Ape, shaking its head.


    The Heavenly Fate Divine Body? Yang Xiaotian pondered in his heart.


    ¡°Do you have news of other Divine mes or the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head, indicating there was no news of other Divine mes or the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, and then suggested, ¡°Perhaps, young master could take a look at the Land of Thunder Spirits.¡±


    The Land of Thunder Spirits is a forbidden area on the Azure God Continent.


    There, countless thunder-affiliated beings reside.


    It is perpetually enveloped in thunderclouds.


    If there¡¯s any ce on the Azure God Continent that might have the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, it would definitely be the Land of Thunder Spirits.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    If he truly could not find the Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, then he would visit the Land of Thunder Spirits when the time came.


    ¡°There¡¯s another matter, young master. We¡¯ve heard that someone attempted to sneak into the Azure God Mansion to steal the Lord of Azure God¡¯s manuscript,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor recalled and said.


    ¡°Steal the Azure God Manuscript?¡± Yang Xiaotian was surprised.


    ¡°Yes, but they were discovered in time by the powerhouses of the Azure God Mansion, and the theft was unsessful,¡± the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor exined.


    Yang Xiaotian fell into thought.


    Who could it be that wanted to steal the Azure God Manuscript? Could it be the people of the Undying Death God and the three great Demon Sects?


    No wonder Yang Xiaotian spected as much; after all, aside from the people of the Undying Death God and the three great Demon Sects, no one else would dare to do so.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian stayed in the Divine Residence, quietly cultivating,prehending the several Divine Swords, continuously tempering his True Yuan, and in his spare time, he apanied his family.


    On New Year¡¯s Eve, the Divine Residence was bustling with excitement as hundreds of experts gathered together for a joyous celebration.


    Princess Wan Ning also made a special trip over, bringing many gifts for Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and Yang Ling¡¯er.


    The family was filled with happiness and warmth.


    On the first day of the New Year, Yang Xiaotian apanied his family on a stroll through the Imperial Capital.<div>


    Every year on the first day of the New Year, Yang Ling¡¯er would pester Yang Xiaotian to buy her lollipops, but this year she didn¡¯t ask for any, which puzzled Yang Xiaotian greatly.


    Huang Ying smiled and said, ¡°Your sister is afraid that eating too much sugar will make her gain weight. She hasn¡¯t had lollipops for half a year now.¡±


    Yang Xiaotianughed, finding it rare that the girl had actually given up her lollipop habit of many years.


    ¡°What about Xiao Jin?¡± he asked with a smile.


    ¡°Xiao Jin hasn¡¯t changed,¡± Huang Ying replied with augh.


    After spending a day out, they returned to the Divine Residence as the sky grew dark.


    Yang Xiaotian went back to his pce and continued contemting the Divine Sword.


    Yet, the fifteenth Sword Heart remained elusive to fully condense.


    Days passed in session.


    One day, Man Fang came to find Yang Xiaotian and reported that there had been news about the Divine Sword of Everything, the ancestral sword of their Barbaric Ancient Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly stimted upon hearing the news. If he could acquire the Divine Sword of Everything andprehend the Sword Path of Everything, then condensing the fifteenth Sword Heart would naturally follow.


    ¡°Someone said that they have seen astonishing Sword Qi in the Ghost Den of Demon Ghost Ridge, suspected to be the Sword Qi of the Divine Sword of Everything,¡± Man Fang said.


    ¡°The Ghost Den.¡± Yang Xiaotian was puzzled.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om<div>


    The Ghost Den in the Demon Ghost Ridge was and of great danger, air of countless evil spirits.


    What business did the Barbaric Ancient Ancestor of the Dwarf n have in the Ghost Den of Demon Ghost Ridge?

 Chapter 454: Nether Sect’s Lair

    Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Nether Sect¡¯s Lair


    ¡°Young Master, should I personally go to the Demon Ghost Ridge to explore the matter?¡± Man Fang said to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°No need, I will go there myself in a few days.¡±


    Although Man Fang¡¯s strength was not weak, the Ghost Den in Demon Ghost Ridge was not an ordinary ce of danger, so he wanted to go there himself.


    He had Master Ding, and now that his Eternal Divine Body had initially formed, he was confident about entering the Ghost Den in Demon Ghost Ridge.


    In the following days, Yang Xiaotian spent his daysprehending the Sword Dao and his nights continuing to refine his Acupoint True Essence.


    Every day, Yang Xiaotian took time to apany his parents and gave guidance to them and his sister in cultivation.


    n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Now, with chaos emerging in the Azure God Continent, he needed to find ways to improve his family¡¯s strength.


    A few dayster, Yang Xiaotian finally bid farewell to his family and headed to the Ghost Den in Demon Ghost Ridge.


    This time, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t bring anyone with him and went alone.


    Given Yang Xiaotian¡¯s special identity, to avoid drawing attention, he used his Life-Bound Soul Skill, Space Concealment, to leave the Imperial Capital.


    After leaving the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian arrived at a remote mountain wilderness where he then took out the Abyssal Spaceship and steered it towards the Godyer Empire.


    Demon Ghost Ridge was located in the Godyer Empire.


    The Godyer Empire was also one of the most powerful empires on the Azure God Continent, its strength on par with that of the Great Brahma Empire and the Buddha Pagoda Empire.


    On the way, Yang Xiaotian was not idle; he swallowed the remaining two Life God Fruits for cultivation.


    Under the medicinal power of the two Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian refined the True Essence of all 1,296 acupoints in his body, and his True Essence became incredibly profound.


    His vitality also surged once more.


    However, Yang Xiaotian always suppressed his realm, not breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm.


    The more profound the True Essence and the stronger the vitality, the stronger the foundation, so when he would break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, the transformation would be more powerful.


    Only by doing this, once he broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm, would he hope to shatter the fetters of Heaven and Earth and cultivate fifteen Heavenly Fates.


    After refining thest two Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian also crossed the borders of the Godyer Empire and arrived at Demon Ghost Ridge.


    The Abyssal Spaceship stopped before Demon Ghost Ridge.


    The sight before him was of Demon Ghost Ridge, with Yin-energy piercing the skies, a dark oppressive mass as far as the eye could see, with dense Yin-energy condensing into sheets of ghostly clouds overhead.


    Looking at Demon Ghost Ridge before him, Yang Xiaotian paused momentarily, then put away the Abyssal Spaceship, broke through the heavy Yin-energy, and entered Demon Ghost Ridge.


    Once inside Demon Ghost Ridge, the surging Yin-energy was like an endless sea of ghosts, constantly engulfing Yang Xiaotian.


    The vengeful spirits within the Yin-energy sought to devour Yang Xiaotian.


    However, Yang Xiaotian did not activate the power of his Eternal Divine Body, but instead spurred the power of his vitality.


    His vitality, now so strong as if it were a zing sun, at its activation, instantly incinerated all the vengeful spirits to ash.


    If a person were weak and sick, entering such a Yin Ghost evildoernd, they might be possessed by Yin Ghost evil spirits, but a martial artist with strong vitality would not be approached by ordinary Yin Ghost evil d?mons.


    Yang Xiaotian flew forward along the path.


    Although known as a ridge, Demon Ghost Ridge was actually a range of mountains stretching as far as the eye could see, and with Yang Xiaotian¡¯s speed, it would take an hour or two to reach the deep Ghost Den.


    With close calls but no dangers, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Ghost Den.


    Before himid a colossal mountain, with roiling Yin-energy, and halfway up the mountain, there was a massive entrance hundreds of meters wide, which was the entrance to the Ghost Den.


    At the entrance to the Ghost Den, the Yin-energy surged out like ck seawater.


    The wails of ghostly spirits continuously emanated from within the Ghost Den, sending chills down one¡¯s spine.


    Yang Xiaotian executed his Life-Bound Soul Skill to conceal himself within the space and approached the entrance of the Ghost Den.


    The constantly surging Yin-energy, with its terrifying force, battered Yang Xiaotian repeatedly.


    Only bying to the entrance of the Ghost Den could one truly understand the horror of this Yin-energy.


    The ghost qi not only contained astonishingly frigid and yin energy but also possessed corrosive and corpse poison powers.


    Not to mention ordinary Great Emperors, even those at the tenthyer of the Great Emperor stage would probably find it difficult to withstand the onught of ghastly qi pouring out of the entrance to the Ghost Den.


    However, to Yang Xiaotian, these ghastly qi were no different from ordinary storms.


    Yang Xiaotian directly broke through the ghost qi and shed into the depths of the Ghost Den.


    The Ghost Den was extremely deep and vast, with thick ghost qi surging forcefully, filling the entire den.


    Within the Ghost Den, ghostly figures flickered in and out of sight.


    Yang Xiaotian concealed his form and continuously flew deeper into the Ghost Den, while using the power of his Fourteen Sword Hearts to sense the whereabouts of the Divine Sword of Everything.


    Even the third-ranked Divine Shadow Sword could be sensed by him, so as long as the Divine Sword of Everything was indeed within the Ghost Den, he was certain he could sense it.


    As he weaved through the countless malevolent ghosts, watching the powerful specters nearly brushing past him, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s scalp tingled somewhat.


    Yet, after half an hour in the Ghost Den, he still hadn¡¯t sensed the presence of the Divine Sword of Everything.


    The Ghost Den was evenrger than Yang Xiaotian had imagined, virtually a miniature ghost realm¡ªseemingly bottomless. He even wondered if the Ghost Den was connected to the ghost realm; otherwise, where could such intense ghost qi being from?


    Just as Yang Xiaotian continued his advance into the depths of the Ghost Den, suddenly, his Fourteen Sword Hearts trembled slightly.


    Could it be!


    The Divine Sword of Everything!


    A surge of tion filled Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart, and he quickly flew toward the location of the Divine Sword of Everything.


    As he kept moving deeper into the Ghost Den, the aura of the Divine Sword of Everything grew increasingly strong.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian drew ever closer to the Divine Sword of Everything, suddenly, human voices came from up ahead.


    Yang Xiaotian paused.


    Were there other people inside the Ghost Den?


    Could they be experts like him, here to hunt for treasures within the Ghost Den?


    As Yang Xiaotian pondered, suddenly, voices from the front reached him: ¡°Lord Yan Ping has ordered, tonight the four great Demon Sects will move out and obliterate the Shen Family!¡±


    Yan Ping!


    The Son of the Nether God!


    Yang Xiaotian was startled upon hearing this.


    Could one of the Nether Sect¡¯sirs be located here?


    And the three great Demon Sects were nning to obliterate the Shen Family tonight!


    The Shen Family, alongside the Wan, Fan, and Yan families, were among the Azure God Continent¡¯s super ancient noble families. With the Fan Family having been destroyed, the Azure God Continent was already in a state of fear and unease. If the Shen Family were to be wiped out by the three great Demon Sects, the continent would be even more terrified, to the point where no one would dare to leave their sects.


    With utmost caution, Yang Xiaotian had Master Ding shield his own qi and flew forward.


    It wasn¡¯t long before he arrived at the bottom of the Ghost Den.


    At the bottom of the Ghost Den, there stood an immensely grand city.


    Within the city, there were countless masters from the Nether Sect.


    Apart from the masters of the Nether Sect, there were also numerous ghost kings and ghost generals reared by the masters of the sect.


    However, aside from the high-ranking members of the Nether Sect, there were no signs of the experts from the Corpse Demon Sect, Evil Buddha Sect, or Blood Demon Sect.


    Yang Xiaotian looked toward a grand pce within the city; the Divine Sword of Everything was within that pce. He carefully passed through the crowd of the Nether Sect¡¯s elite masters and countless ghost kings and generals, reaching the front of the pce.


    In the pce, there gathered a host of the Nether Sect¡¯s masters, with the weakest among them at the tenfoldyer of the Saint Realm, and no fewer than forty at the Divine Spirit Realm!


    Seated on the throne within the great hall was not the Son of the Nether God, Yan Ping, but his Direct Disciple, Wang Kun.

 Chapter 455: 455 I will make his life a living hell

    Chapter 455: Chapter 455 I will make his life a living hell


    Wang Kun sat on the throne like a Heavenly Monarch of the Nine Heavens, scanning the Nether Sect Ancestors and Ancient Ancestors before him, and said, ¡°Lord Yan Ping has spoken, tonight the four great Demon Sects must join forces, not a single person from the Shen Family shall escape!¡±


    ¡°Not even a dog from the Shen Family should be allowed to get away!¡±


    Not even sparing a dog.


    This was truly leaving no chicken or dog alive!


    ¡°Rest assured, Lord Wang Kun, we will soon issue the order to seal off thousands of miles around the Shen Family. Then, you may kill to your heart¡¯s content!¡± An ancestor who practiced the Yin Yang Body Art said with a malicious smile, ¡°Since we¡¯re going to kill those women of the Shen Family, we¡¯d like to ravage them to our hearts¡¯ content before we kill them¡ªthat¡¯s allowed, right?¡±


    Many ancestors present chuckled sinfully.


    This kind of thing, they¡¯ve done it many times before.


    Before exterminating a n, they would thoroughly enjoy the bodies of the women.


    Especially the bodies of those virgins, fragrant and iparably satisfying.


    Wang Kun nced at the crowd and said with a smile, ¡°Lord Yan Ping has said that as long as the Shen Family is eradicated before dawn, he doesn¡¯t care about the process.¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om<div>


    An ancestorughed heartily, ¡°Lord Yan Ping and Lord Wang Kun, rest easy, the Shen Family will be destroyed before dawn!¡±


    All the ancestors echoed this sentiment.


    Outside the great hall, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were brimming with killing intent as he overheard.


    He flew towards the interior of the great hall, circumventing the front and arriving at the back. There, he reached the entrance to a secret chamber where he sensed that the Divine Sword of Everything was inside.


    However, the chamber was forged from the hardest divine iron of the Divine Realm.


    Gazing at the tightly shut iron door of the secret chamber, Yang Xiaotian ced his palms on it, invoking the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    Suddenly, the power of Time surged out from his palms.


    Under the force of Time, the iron door continuously assimted, turning into grains of Time Sand.


    Seeing the Eternal Divine Body silently corrode and assimte the iron door, Yang Xiaotian rejoiced inwardly; the Eternal Divine Body truly was invincible, incredibly useful.


    Soon, a vast gap was opened in the iron door of the secret chamber.


    Yang Xiaotian entered the secret chamber.


    Inside, a Divine Sword hung suspended, emanating a powerful life force of rebirth of all things, the very Divine Sword of Everything.


    Man Lei, an Ancient Ancestor from the Dwarf n, had expended all his life¡¯s efforts to forge this Divine Sword of Everything, collecting ten thousand divine materials, one of which was the Life God Iron.


    It was for this reason that the Divine Sword of Everything possessed such a potent life force of rebirth.


    Yang Xiaotian approached the Divine Sword of Everything, invoked the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, and grasped the sword.


    As if sensing the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fourteen Sword Hearts, the Divine Sword of Everything offered no resistance, allowing him to hold it.


    This eased Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind somewhat.


    Although the masters of Nether Sect had obtained the Divine Sword of Everything, they had not been able to refine it to date; thus, Yang Xiaotian could retrieve it so effortlessly.


    After storing the Divine Sword of Everything in the Medicine Cauldron, Yang Xiaotian looked around the secret chamber.<div>


    What a sight, the chamber was filled with all kinds of treasures.


    There was Divine Iron, various Spiritual Medicines, and even top-grade Spirit Stones.


    The Blood Dragon Spirit Vein and Fire System Vein Yang Xiaotian had obtained previously were only high-grade Spirit Veins. In the world, top-grade Spirit Stone were extremely rare, but now he saw thousandsid out before him.


    With the top-grade Spirit Stones, the power and speed of his Abyssal Spaceship would be greater and faster when he activated it in the future.<div>


    Yang Xiaotian did not stand on ceremony and took away all the Divine Iron, Spiritual Medicine, Elixirs, and top-grade Spirit Stones from the secret chamber.


    Afterward, he began searching other ces to see if there were any treasures.


    This Ghost Den was guarded by dozens of Divine Spirit Realm beings and was undoubtedly one of the Nether Sect¡¯s most importantirs, certainly harboring more than just a few Elixirs and Spirit Stones.


    Indeed, after a thorough search, Yang Xiaotian found thergest treasury in the Ghost Den.


    The treasury¡¯s gates were enormous, and like the gates, they were forged from the hardest Divine Iron of the Divine Realm and were covered with numerous prohibitions.


    Yang Xiaotian activated the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    The many prohibitions on the gates were continuously assimted by the power of Time, turning into Time Sand Grains.


    When the treasury gates were breached, Yang Xiaotian walked inside, only to see it filled with various Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and ores, piled up like mountains with no end in sight.


    Yang Xiaotian had acquired treasures from the Elf n Treasury before, butpared to the treasury before him, the Elf n Treasury was like a minor witch sighting a great sorcerer.


    Looking at the treasury before him, Yang Xiaotian was amazed; the treasures hidden within this Nether Sect¡¯s Ghost Denir were astonishing.


    However, the Nether Sect¡¯s abundance of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, ores, and heavenly and earthly treasures were likely plundered from other Sects and families.


    Yang Xiaotian was far from polite and moved these mountains of Spirit Stones into the Medicine Cauldron one by one.


    Eventually, frustrated by the slow pace, he simply had Master Ding engulf these mountains of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and ores directly.<div>


    Master Ding turned into a streak of light, constantly flying over these mountains of Spirit Stones, causing them to disappear one after another.


    While Yang Xiaotian was busily moving out the treasury¡¯s contents, a Nether Sect expert on patrol happened to pass by the original chamber of the Divine Sword of Everything and stopped in his tracks, staring dumbfounded at the huge hole in the chamber door.


    He charged into the secret chamber and, seeing the empty interior, bellowed with rage, ¡°Who is it?! Who dares be so bold!¡±


    The roar of this Nether Sect expert traveled for miles, shaking the pce of the Ghost Den.


    Even Wang Kun, who was in the front hall discussing how to divide the Shen Family¡¯s treasure, heard the shocking roar.


    Wang Kun and all the Nether Sect Ancestors were stunned.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened?!¡± Wang Kun¡¯s face fell as he demanded.


    Soon after, a Nether Sect expert rushed in frantically, reporting, ¡°Lord Wang Kun, someone has sneaked in and taken all the treasures from chamber one.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Kun was greatly angered and shouted, ¡°Search! Seal the Ghost Den, find this person for me, I want to extricate his soul alive!¡±


    Instantly, countless Nether Sect experts rose into the sky and sealed off the Ghost Den.


    The Nether Sect¡¯s vast army began a carpet-like search.


    But soon, another Nether Sect expert ran up to Wang Kun in a panic, trembling, ¡°Lord Wang Kun, the treasury has been emptied!¡±


    The treasury has been emptied?!<div>


    Wang Kun and all the Nether Sect experts¡¯ faces changed drastically as they rushed to the treasury gates, only to see the vast doorway and the treasury stripped of all its mountains of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and ores, utterly empty.


    Wang Kun¡¯s face turned pale.


    If his master found out that the treasury of the Ghost Den had been emptied, he would surely y his skin.


    ¡°Find this person for me!¡± Wang Kun roared, ¡°I will make him wish he was dead!¡±


    Just then, suddenly, a loud boom resounded.


    Wang Kun and the Nether Sect experts rushed out of the pce and saw a faint blue figure standing in the sky above the city, along with a colossal cauldron.


    A colossally golden-med cauldron.


    The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and


    continue reading tomorrow, everyone!

 Chapter 456: 456 Fifteen Sword Hearts

    Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Fifteen Sword Hearts


    Despite being shocked by the massive size of the cauldron, Wang Kun¡¯s eyes brimmed with raging killing intent the instant he saw Yang Xiaotian.


    Just as he was about to order Yang Xiaotian to be skinned and deboned, suddenly, the huge cauldron explosively expanded by a billionfold!


    It instantly became a hundred or even a thousand timesrger than their Ghost City!


    Feeling the cataclysmic power of Master Ding, both Wang Kun and the other Nether Sect Ancestors¡¯plexions drastically changed.


    ¡°Master Ding!¡±


    ¡°Annihte these ghostly bastards!¡±


    Xiaotian bellowed.


    Master Ding instantly unleashed his world-destructive power, bombarding downwards.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Wang Kun roared, desperately starting to flee with the intention to escape.


    All the other Nether Sect Ancestors, all the saints, all the elders, Supreme Elders, and all the Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals were also terrified, frantically escaping.<div>


    However, even the Undying Death God couldn¡¯t evade Master Ding¡¯s attack in the past, so how could their speed surpass that of the Undying Death God?


    Just as Wang Kun soared into the sky, Master Ding had already bombarded above the Ghost City.


    Looking at the Golden me Great Cauldron above his head that nearly burst the entire Ghost Den open, Wang Kun wore a look of utter despair, frantically gathering all his divine power, slipping into Divine Armor that Yan Ping had given him in an instant.


    At the same time, he raised a hammer asrge as a mountain, striking at Master Ding.


    ¡°Get the hell out of my way!¡±


    He yelled.


    All the Nether Sect Ancestors, all the saints, all the Supreme Elders, elders, Ghost Kings, and Ghost Generals alsounched their attacks in frenzy simultaneously.


    In this moment of life and death, they squeezed out everyst bit of strength from their bodies.


    Their overwhelming power surged forth like waves upon waves of a boundless ocean, mming into Master Ding.


    Thebined powers of over forty Divine Spirit Realm beings, thousands of saints, and countless Ghost Kings and generals were horrifying to witness.


    The entire Ghost Den trembled as if it were about to explode.


    All the evil spirits and yin ghosts in the sky above the Ghost Den wept.


    Boom!


    All the might of the Nether Sect¡¯s experts converged and hit Master Ding.


    But it was no use, theirbined attacks had no effect on Master Ding.


    Master Ding, with his body aze with golden mes, did not slow down, continuing his unstoppable descent.


    Boom!


    Wang Kun, all the Nether Sect Ancestors, all the saints, and countless Ghost Kings and generals were all smashed into the ground of the Ghost City by Master Ding.


    In that instant of collision, the ground of the Ghost City exploded.<div>


    All the buildings were instantly reduced to dust.


    Even the Ghost City, which had been empowered by the strength of countless experts from the Nether Sect, was no use.


    With an unstoppable force, Master Ding sted all the Nether Sect experts deeper into the ground.


    The terrifying power turned into golden waves, spreading at a frightening speed in every direction.<div>


    Wave after wave of yin ghosts and evil spirits within the Ghost Den were directly obliterated.


    The originally bottomless and enormous Ghost Den was so violently bombarded that the walls burst and teetered on the brink of copse, even causing the surrounding mountain peaks of Demon Ghost Ridge to crumble apart.


    The ground of Demon Ghost Ridge cracked open, and countless demonic qi and ghostly qi spewed out from the depths of the earth.


    Even the strong beings passing by from countless miles away felt this world-ending power and were all horrified.


    It took a long time before Master Ding shrank to the size of a palm and returned to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand.


    The sandstorm within the Ghost Den still had not subsided after a long time.


    Through the sky full of sand and dust, the entire Ghost City had vanished without a trace, and even the terrain around the Ghost City had been sted into oblivion.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As for Wang Kun and the other Divine Spirit Realm ancestors of the Nether Sect, they had been blown into a pulp, deeply buried beneath the ground, dead as can be.


    Inside the Ghost City, the Ghost Kings and Generals were gone, turned to ash without even leaving any pulp behind.


    Yang Xiaotian looked coldly at the terrifying abyss that had been sted open, did not linger any longer, took Master Ding, and flew out of the Ghost Den, then left the Demon Ghost Ridge.


    Now that he had obtained the Divine Sword of Everything, he needed to find a ce toprehend the Sword Path of Everything and condense the fifteenth Sword Heart.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian had left, the Son of the Nether God, Yan Ping, received the news and led a group of experts to the Ghost Den.


    Upon seeing the terrifying abyss that had been sted open in the Ghost Den, both Yan Ping and the experts of the Nether Sect involuntarily inhaled sharply.<div>


    Seeing the abyss taking the shape of a huge cauldron, Yan Ping¡¯s mouth went dry, and he could already guess who was responsible.


    ¡°Who was it?¡± an elder from the Nether Sect eximed in shock and anger, ¡°Who did this? Find out, and annihte their nine generations!¡±


    The other elders from the Nether Sect were also a mix of shock and rage, vowing to drag out the person responsible and torture their soul.


    Only the Son of the Nether God, Yan Ping, remained silent.


    ¡°Enough!¡± Seeing that the elders of the Nether Sect were still raging incessantly, Yan Ping suddenly burst out in anger, barking at the ancestors with eyes red as blood.


    The elders of the Nether Sect fell dead silent like cicadas in the cold.


    ¡°Pass down my order, stop attacking the Shen Family,¡± Yan Ping said with a gloomy face.


    The elders from the Nether Sect dared not object and respectfully acknowledged themand.


    ¡°How is the recovery of the Ancient Heart Demon?¡± Yan Ping suddenly asked.


    The Ancient Heart Demon had been rescued by the Undying Death God, but his injuries had not fully healed yet; otherwise, the Nether Sect would have joined forces with the Undying Death God and the Ancient Heart Demon to attack the Azure God Mansion again.


    ¡°Although the Spring of Life you provided has been helping, the Ancient Heart Demon has said that he needs another two years for his injuries to fully heal,¡± one of the ancestors stepped forward and reported cautiously.


    Hearing that the Ancient Heart Demon needed another two years to fully recover, Yan Ping¡¯s eyebrows rxed; they would wait two more years. In two years, they would assault the Azure God Mansion, rescue his father¡¯s body, and revive his father.


    Once his father was revived, it would be the end of the Azure Bear.<div>


    For these two years, they would bide their time!


    At this time, Yang Xiaotian had arrived at a secluded location to start refining the Divine Sword of Everything and then toprehend the Sword Path of Everything.


    Yang Xiaotian isted himself from the outside world and immersed his whole being in the world of Sword Dao.


    He sat cross-legged in a cave, his body bursting with Sword Qi, and soon he was enveloped by it, his figurepletely merging into the myriad streams of Sword Qi.


    The Sword Qi was like an ocean, now surging violently, now calm as a mirror, now raising countless massive waves of Sword Qi, now turning into a gentle drizzle.


    That day, suddenly, streaks of Nine-Colored Sword Qi burst forth within the world of Sword Qi.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fourteen Nine-Colored Sword Hearts awoke, and behind them, another Nine-Colored Sword Heart began to emerge, faint yet discernible.


    The fifteenth Sword Heart!


    Afterprehending the Samsara Sword Path, the Divine Shadow Sword Path, and the Sword Path of Everything, the fifteenth Sword Heart that Yang Xiaotian was condensing finally began to take shape.


    As time went by, the fifteenth Sword Heart became more and more substantial, until it waspletely solidified.


    At this moment, the fifteenth Sword Heart had finally sessfully condensed.


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fifteenth Sword Heart had been sessfully condensed, the True Yuan in all his acupoints also reached their ultimate density and could no longer be contained. Yang Xiaotian began to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.


    For many experts at the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm¡¯s tenth level, breaking through to the Emperor Realm was very difficult!<div>


    Many peak experts of the Venerable Realm tried to use their True Yuan to break through the gates of the Emperor Realm, but the gates did not budge at all, requiring thousands or even tens of thousands of strikes to break through.


    But as Yang Xiaotian operated the True Yuan within his 1,296 acupoints, there was a ¡°thud,¡± and the gates of the Emperor Realm were sted open.

 Chapter 457: 457: Destinys Calamity

    Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Destiny¡¯s Cmity


    After Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Dantian and one thousand two hundred ny-six Acupoint True Essences sted open the gates to the Emperor Realm, they converged into a raging torrent which, with an unstoppable momentum, surged into the deepest part of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind¡ªa certain Heaven and Earth.


    This Heaven and Earth, originally dull and without light, was now illuminated and activated in an instant as the True Essence from the Dantian and acupoints flowed in.


    The previously lifeless Heaven and Earth began to brim with vitality, surging with an overwhelming force of life, just like the Acupoint True Essences.


    This Heaven and Earth is the most mysterious realm of a martial artist, known as the Divine Sea World.


    Only after breaking through to the Emperor Realm would this Divine Sea World be activated and illuminated.


    As the Divine Sea World was activated and lit up, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body began to undergo a transformation, from his flesh and blood to his internal organs, and even his soul.


    The True Essence from the Dantian and all acupoints poured into the Divine Sea World, swiftly forming a great river.


    And this great river continued to swell.


    This is the Divine Sea of an Emperor Realm strongman.


    The Divine Sea is what an Emperor Realm strongman primarily cultivates.<div>


    However, the Divine Sea is much more difficult to cultivate than the Dantian and Acupoints. Many peak Emperor Realm first-level strongmen generally have a Divine Sea that spans only several dozen miles, rarely reaching a hundred miles.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Essence from his Dantian and acupoints was exceedingly rich, even richer than that of the Lord of Azure God at the peak of the Venerable Realm.


    Thus, under the infusion of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Dantian and Acupoint True Essences, his Divine Sea quickly swelled to a hundred miles!


    And it continued to expand at a staggering rate.


    Two hundred miles!


    Three hundred miles!


    ¡­


    One thousand miles!


    If other strongmen knew that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea had burst to a thousand miles upon his initial breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, they would surely be terrified.


    Many peak Emperor Realm first-level strongmen have Divine Seas spanning only several dozen miles, and for many from the Venerable Realm who have just broken through to the Emperor Realm, it would be quite impressive to have a Divine Sea of ten miles.


    But Yang Xiaotian¡¯s shot up to a thousand miles.


    And it was still soaring, with the speed of its growth not decreasing.


    Over the years, Yang Xiaotian had continuously consumed Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and celestial-grade Elixirs for cultivation, even partaking of many Nine Heavens Tribtion Thunder Water, Life God Fruit, and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruits, rarities of Heaven and Earth, making his True Essence terrifyingly potent.


    It was due to this that upon his breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea exploded in size.


    This was the most direct benefit of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s sustained restraint in advancing his realm and the tempering of his True Essence.


    The limit of the Divine Sea is one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred miles, corresponding to the number of an entire cycle.


    When the Lord of Azure God cultivated to the peak of the Emperor Realm, his Divine Sea was exactly one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred miles.


    But to cultivate the Divine Sea to its limit is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Many family Emperor Realm talents, after breaking through to the peak of the Emperor Realm, would consider it an achievement to cultivate their Divine Sea to ten thousand miles.


    If one could cultivate it to twenty thousand miles, they would already be unparalleled geniuses.<div>


    If one could reach thirty thousand miles, that would absolutely dazzle the Azure God Continent.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea quickly swelled to two thousand miles.


    Three thousand miles.


    ¡­n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om<div>


    Ten thousand miles!


    After reaching ten thousand miles, the increase finally slowed down, growing by several hundred more miles beforepletely halting.


    Upon his breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm, Yang Xiaotian cultivated his Divine Sea to well over ten thousand miles, an unprecedented achievement in all of history, something even the Lord of Azure God had not aplished.


    Over ten thousand miles¡ªthis was equivalent to many peak Emperor Realm strongmen!


    Even some at the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm with tenyers have not achieved such a vast Divine Sea.


    Yet, Yang Xiaotian is merely at the firstyer of the Emperor Realm.


    ¡°Over ten thousand li! Impressive!¡± Master Ding couldn¡¯t help but exim upon seeing that Yang Xiaotian had, upon breaking through to Great Emperor, cultivated his Divine Sea directly to over ten thousand li.


    After reaching the Emperor Realm, each breakthrough means a huge difference in strength; a pinnacle tenthyer Emperor Realm expert can easily ughter dozens of ninthyer Venerable Realm experts, not to mention the eighth or seventhyers.


    A peak of the tenyers Emperor Realm can burst an Emperor Realm firstyer a hundred or thousand times with just a flick of a finger.


    But now, Yang Xiaotian, at the Emperor Realm firstyer, isparable to the peak of the Emperor Realm tenthyer.


    That¡¯s incredibly impressive.


    This is no longer defying heaven but impressive to the point of overturning it.


    ¡°With the strength of your Divine Sea now, you canpletelymunicate with the heavens and bear the Heavenly Fate,¡± Master Ding suddenly said.<div>


    ¡°Bear the Heavenly Fate!¡± Yang Xiaotian was astonished.


    Generally speaking, only the strongest at the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm tenthyer can bear the Heavenly Fate.


    Master Ding said, ¡°Your Divine Sea is now stronger than many peak Emperor Realm tenthyer experts. You canpletelymunicate with the heavens, draw upon the Tribtion of Destiny, and bear the Heavenly Fate.¡±


    ¡°Although your Divine Sea is only over ten thousand li, its True Essence is incredibly dense and solid, denser than many at the peak of the Emperor Realm tenthyer with a Divine Sea over ten thousand li. Bearing the Heavenly Fate will absolutely not be an issue.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian pondered, ¡°Just the Tribtion of Destiny?¡±


    ¡°You practice the Primordial Dragon Art; your physical body is terrifying as it is. Even without the Eternal Divine Body, you could totally ovee the Tribtion of Destiny,¡± Master Ding stated, ¡°What¡¯s more, you now possess the Eternal Divine Body. Even the strongest Tribtion of Destiny cannot st you to death.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was speechless.


    Not being sted to death doesn¡¯t mean not being sted into disability or destruction.


    Master Ding continued, ¡°Your Divine Sea is now stronger than many peak Emperor Realm tenthyer experts. If you dare not draw upon the Tribtion of Destiny, dare not bear the Heavenly Fate, how can youter talk about the fifteen Heavenly Fates or the Heavenly Fate Divine Body!¡±


    Knowing that Master Ding was deliberately provoking him, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath, his eyes resolute: ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it!¡± Saying this, he sat down cross-legged, mobilized the True Essence Power within his Divine Sea, surged into the void, and began tomunicate with the heavens.


    In a trance, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s consciousness arrived at a vast and boundless Heaven and Earth.


    This Heaven and Earth was vast, void, and silent.


    This was the heavens.<div>


    The heavens are a mysterious space at the deepest part of the Nine Heavens.


    When an Emperor Realm powerhouse¡¯s Divine Sea power prates here, it will trigger the heavens to send down the Tribtion of Destiny.


    There are nineyers of space in the heavens.


    If the power of an Emperor Realm powerhouse¡¯s Divine Sea reaches the firstyer of space, it will trigger a singleyer of the Tribtion of Destiny. If one can ovee this singleyer of Tribtion of Destiny, then they will bear a singleyer of Heavenly Fate.


    A singleyer of Heavenly Fate is the weakest.


    If the power of an Emperor Realm powerhouse¡¯s Divine Sea reaches the ninthyer of space, it will trigger a nineyer Tribtion of Destiny, and they will then bear the strongest nineyers of Heavenly Fate.


    However, reaching the fourthyer of space and above with the power of the Divine Sea is extremely difficult, let alone the ninthyer. No one in a million years has been able to reach the ninthyer of space.


    Moreover, the more numerous theyers of the Tribtion of Destiny, the more terrifying it is. And in a million years, no one has been able to ovee the nineyer Tribtion of Destiny.


    At this moment, Yang Xiaotian, while wielding the power of his Divine Sea, had sted into the firstyer of the heavens and continued to rise, breaking through to the secondyer of the heavens.


    The thirdyer, the fourthyer, the fifthyer¡­


    To st open ayer of space in the heavens requires an astonishing amount of power from the Divine Sea. The higher it goes, the more astonishing the power consumed by the Divine Sea. However, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea power continued to st through like bamboo splitting apart and reached all the way to the ninthyer space!


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea power sted into the end of the ninthyer of space, he had a sudden thought: there are only nineyers of space in the heavens, but what lies above the heavens?


    No one has ever known what space is above the heavens.<div>


    He tried to mobilize the power of his Divine Sea to st towards the wall of the ninthyer of space in the heavens.


    Boom!

 Chapter 458: 458 Primordial Heaven Destiny

    Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Primordial Heaven Destiny


    When Yang Xiaotian channeled the power of the Divine Sea to strike at the barriers of the ninth heaven of the firmament, a loud ¡°boom¡± could clearly be heard.


    Although he did not break open the barriers of the ninth heaven, Yang Xiaotian could distinctly sense that there were spaces beyond the ninth heaven!


    Spaces that were higher and more powerful.


    Yang Xiaotian was privately overjoyed and once again channeled the power of the Divine Sea to attack the barriers of the ninth heaven.


    Another booming sound echoed.


    This time the sound was even louder.


    Yang Xiaotian kept bombarding again and again.


    The ¡°booms¡± were unceasing.


    ¡°Above the ninth heaven of the firmament, there indeed exist higher and more powerful spaces, but the chance of you breaking open is nearly impossible,¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice rang out.


    Hearing from Master Ding that there were indeed higher and mightier spaces, Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but feel hopeful.<div>


    ¡°Then does Master Ding know what space lies above the firmament?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Primordial!¡± Master Ding slowly stated.


    Primordial!


    A shock went through Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart.


    Above the firmament lies the Primordial Space!


    ¡°If the power of the Divine Sea breaks open the ninth heaven and enters the Primordial Space, what will be drawn out is the Primordial Destiny Tribtion,¡± Master Ding said, ¡°The Primordial Destiny Tribtion is a hundred times more terrifying than the Tribtion of the Nine Heavens. Although you are now in the early stages of the Eternal Divine Body, whether you can survive the Primordial Destiny Tribtion is still uncertain.¡±


    ¡°What if I manage to get past the Primordial Destiny Tribtion?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°If you can get past it, you will be entrusted with the Primordial Heaven Destiny, which will truly astonish all realms under the heavens,¡± Master Ding stated, ¡°Once Primordial emerges, it will be invincible under heaven!¡±


    Once Primordial emerges, it will be invincible under heaven!


    Yang Xiaotian was greatly shaken.


    Just this phrase alone showed the strength of the Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    ¡°Even the Destiny of the Nine Heavens cannot withstand the power of the Divine Spirits, but the Primordial Heaven Destiny can!¡± Master Ding, somewhat excited, continued.


    ¡°Are you saying that even Divine Spirits cannot shatter the Primordial Heaven Destiny!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in shock.


    A destiny that even Divine Spirits cannot shatter must be incredibly powerful!


    Keep in mind, he was only in the Emperor Realm at the moment.


    A finger from a Divine Spirit could crush countless Emperor Realms, but it still could not shatter the Primordial Heaven Destiny!


    ¡°Exactly,¡± affirmed Master Ding, ¡°The Primordial Heaven Destiny cannot be shattered by anyone.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits surged, strengthening his resolve to break open the ninth firmament.


    However, after thousands of strikes with the power of the Divine Sea, the ninth heaven of the firmament remained unyielding as a mountain, utterly imprable.<div>


    But this only incited Yang Xiaotian¡¯spetitive spirit, and he bombarded it with even more frenzied waves of Divine Sea power.


    The two-thousandth time.


    The three-thousandth time.


    ¡­<div>


    Yang Xiaotian continued bombarding relentlessly and persistently.


    Finally, on the four-thousandth strike, the barrier wall of the ninth heaven of the firmament trembled with light, and a minute crack appeared.


    Although it was only a tiny crack, seeing the fissure filled Yang Xiaotian with great joy, and he increased his power to strike even harder.


    Indeed, as he continued to bombard, the crack becamerger andrger.


    Eventually, the barrier was broken open.


    The moment he broke open the ninth heaven of the firmament, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea power surged into the Primordial Space Master Ding had spoken of.


    Instantly, above the firmament, the sky roared with thunder and lightning, asyer uponyer of thunderclouds furiously gathered, plunging the whole heaven and earth into darkness.


    Far in the distance, one city after another fell into boundless darkness.


    A vast and invincible power rolled within the thunderclouds, suffocating all living beings within tens of thousands of miles.


    The entire world seemed on the verge of copse.


    One mountain after another began to tremble and fracture.


    This was the Primordial Destiny Tribtion.


    Just the beginning of its formation was already extreme terror, already unbearable for heaven and earth.<div>


    Countless thunderclouds continued to converge like mad, swelling at an rming rate, and soon spread across a thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Yang Xiaotian felt the terrifying power of the Primordial Destiny Tribtion from above the heavens, and his face grew solemn.


    Not until this moment did he realize that what Master Ding had said was not an exaggeration, whether his newly formed Eternal Divine Body could sessfully transcend the Primordial Destiny Tribtion was really uncertain.


    However, with no way back, he could only forge ahead bravely!


    Face it head-on!


    No matter what, he had to endure.


    The clouds of the Primordial Destiny Tribtion continued to grow explosively.


    Heaven and Earth seemed to fall into a dark abyss, so dark that you couldn¡¯t see your fingers before your eyes.


    When the Tribtion Thunder finally swelled to its limit, suddenly, boom!


    Incredible Tribtion Thunder poured down from above the heavens.


    Under the terrifying lightning, the whole world lit up brightly, as if it were the height of day.


    All beings in the world trembled.


    As the Tribtion Thunder struck, terrifying shockwaves exploded outward at an astonishing speed.<div>


    In that instant, Yang Xiaotian donned his Divine Armor and fully activated the Primordial Dragon Art; row after row of thousand-zhang True Essence Dragons roared as they flew out.


    In his hand, the Hand of Azure God appeared. He urged his True Yuan, and his fists thundered out.


    Suddenly, the Hand of Azure God shot out terrifying Divine Light.


    Boom!


    The force of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists collided with the Primordial Destiny Thunder.


    A deafening explosion shook the sky.


    Heaven and Earth flickered on and off.


    Yang Xiaotian only felt a terrifying force crashing into him, his body jerked, and he was sted directly into the ground.


    The Tribtion Thunder dispersed, covering thend, leaving not a de of grass alive, turning everything into dust and sand.


    Yang Xiaotian, who had been sted into the ground, suddenly shook off the dust on his body and shot into the air.


    But just as he shot into the sky, from above the heavens, the Tribtion Thunder thundered down once again.


    The nineyers of Destiny Tribtion have nine bolts of thunder, but the Primordial Destiny Tribtion has ten!


    And each one is stronger than thest.<div>


    Watching the thunder strike down again, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes turned fierce, and he punched out once more. This time, he activated the power of two Divine Elixirs.


    The Divine Light from the Hand of Azure God surged forth, as if it would shatter the heavens.


    A thunderous roar!


    Yang Xiaotian was sted into the ground again.


    He sprang up once more, striking at the third bolt of thunder.


    This time, he activated the power of the Fifteen Sword Hearts as well.


    After that, Yang Xiaotian was repeatedly sted into the ground and kept rising to strike again.


    Finally, it came to the tenth bolt of thunder, thestyer of the Tribtion Thunder.


    Looking at the fallingstyer of Tribtion Thunder, Yang Xiaotian roared. The forces of two Divine Elixirs, the Fifteen Sword Hearts, the Eternal Divine Body, and two million-year Soul Rings were all activated, striking at thest Tribtion Thunder.


    The Fifteen Sword Hearts, the Eternal Time, and the force of the two million-year Soul Rings wreaked havoc on Heaven and Earth, colliding fiercely with thest Tribtion Thunder.


    Boom!


    Heaven and Earth seemed to lose all sound.


    Yang Xiaotian was sted even deeper into the ground.


    The surrounding ground shattered.


    Destructive forces overturned the surroundings again and again, as if heralding the end of the world.


    The Divine Armor on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s bodypletely burst open, and there appeared numerous bloodstains across his body like spiderwebs. At this moment, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s whole body seemed to disintegrate, his pain was beyond sensation.


    But in the end, he still withstood the Primordial Destiny Tribtion!


    At this time, the dispersed force of the tenthyer of Primordial Destiny Thunder turned into golden raindrops, merging into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, and above his Divine Sea formed a tremendous Heavenly Fate.


    This was precisely the Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    An ordinary Heavenly Fate is only ten li in size.


    Even a nineyer Heavenly Fate is only hundreds of li in size.


    But his Primordial Heaven Destiny spanned an immense twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty li!

 Chapter 459: 459 The Tyranny of the Primordial Heaven Destiny

    Chapter 459: Chapter 459 The Tyranny of the Primordial Heaven Destiny


    Twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty li, what does that concept represent?


    Others, even when their ten ninefold Heavenly Fates arebined, don¡¯t amount to one singr Primordial Heaven Destiny of his!


    In fact, even if others cultivated fourteen ninefold Heavenly Fates, whenbined, they would only just equal one of his Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    Moreover, the power of fourteen ninefold Heavenly Fates, when condensed together, might not even be as strong as one Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    Because the power of the ninefold Heavenly Fatees from the heavens above, while the power of his Primordial Heaven Destiny stems from the Primordial World.


    It¡¯s simply not power of the same level.


    The Primordial Heaven Destiny roamed slightly above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea World, causing his Divine Sea space of over ten thousand li to tremble incessantly.


    It was also fortunate that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea World was exceptionally sturdy, for if his Divine Sea¡¯s True Essence were not immensely dense, it couldn¡¯t have withstood the Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    The Divine Sea World would have been burst apart by the Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    In the midst of the tremors, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea gradually adapted to the power of the Primordial Heaven Destiny.<div>


    The Primordial Heaven Destiny, like a massive Primordial Dragon, swam leisurely above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea.


    Feeling the immensely strong power of the Primordial Heaven Destiny, Yang Xiaotian strained to extract a sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water and swallowed it down, his entire body wounds recovering at a visible rate amidst the shes of thunder light, knitting together.


    Before long, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s injuries had fully healed.


    This was also thanks to the powerful vitality and recovery capabilities of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Eternal Divine Body, otherwise, even with sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, recovery wouldn¡¯t have been so swift.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up, and after ensuring his body was unharmed, he summoned the Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    Immediately, the twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty li vast Primordial Heaven Destiny floated in the sky above, casting all sunlight into shadow, the surging, invincible Primordial Power permeated the surroundings.


    The Primordial Heaven Destiny radiated with a shimmering light.


    Primordial Power dispersed like countless ripples, expanding outward.


    Everything in its path was shaken into nothingness.


    The effects spread to the ends of Heaven and Earth.


    At the horizons visible to Yang Xiaotian, mountains were tossed about; dust and sand whirled wildly.


    Even Yang Xiaotian, upon witnessing this scene, couldn¡¯t help but draw a sharp breath.


    Isn¡¯t this a bit too ferocious?


    In future battles, would there even be a need to fight? Just by unleashing the Primordial Heaven Destiny, he could st the opponent to the ends of Heaven and Earth.


    Who could withstand the force of his Primordial Heaven Destiny?


    Regarding the Saint Realm, he did not know, but for the Emperor Realm, there is probably no one who could stand against it!


    At this moment, Master Ding was also shocked as it gazed upon the rolling dust at the far reaches of the sky. After a long while, it finally eximed, ¡°I¡¯ve seen impressive, but I¡¯ve never seen anything this impressive!¡±


    It was born at the dawn of Heaven and Earth, having witnessed countless exceptional beings throughout the eons, but regardless of how powerful any of those beings were, they now seemed insignificant in front of Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Damn, if you keep cultivating like this, I¡¯m afraid that by the time you reach the Saint Realm, you¡¯ll even be able to ughter Divine Spirits!¡± The thought alone made Master Ding shiver.<div>


    The Saint Realm, yet capable of ughtering Divine Spirits, how terrifying would that be.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a bit exaggerated, Master Ding?¡± Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat embarrassed by Master Ding¡¯s words. Even if the Saint Realm was powerful, it couldn¡¯t possibly be strong enough to ughter Divine Spirits, could it?


    Master Ding shook its head and said, ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t applymon sense to your case.¡± It then continued seriously, ¡°However, even though you¡¯ve now cultivated the Primordial Heaven Destiny, the path ahead will be even more arduous. You must never growcent orx.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded. The path of cultivation was one where if you did not advance, you would regress. In the future, he would redouble his efforts and strive to be even stronger.<div>


    Sensing someone approaching, Yang Xiaotian withdrew the Primordial Heaven Destiny back into his body and then flew away through the air.


    Not long after Yang Xiaotian left, several young people dressed in the Core Disciple robes of the Azure God Mansion flew over.


    The young man in the lead was Ren Tianye, known as the strongest among the Core Disciples of the Azure God Mansion.


    Arriving at the scene, Ren Tianye and hispanions were shocked to see the vastnd destroyed beyond recognition, their faces filled with fear.


    ¡°What kind of power caused this? Not a de of grass survives, so domineering, so terrifying!¡± another Core Disciple, Luo Zhou, eximed in shock.


    Luo Zhou was also one of the strongest among the Core Disciples of the Azure God Mansion.


    ¡°Could it be Holy Power?¡± Core Disciple Zeng Min asked in astonishment.


    ¡°It¡¯s not Holy Power!¡± Ren Tianyended on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil, and carefully felt the remnant power in the dirt and dust; the more he sensed it, the more frightened he became.


    He had never encountered such power before; it was supreme, and although it was just residual power, it still made his heart tremble.


    There had been rumors days ago that masters from the Nether Sect had appeared in the Godyer Empire. They hade to investigate, not expecting to encounter such a powerful and mysterious figure with immense strength on their way here.


    After searching around to no avail, they left through the sky.


    ¡°This year, Qianqian is supposed to join our Azure God Mansion, right?¡± Ren Tianye suddenly said on the way back.


    Zeng Min smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, this girl Qianqian is joining our Azure God Mansion this year. She cultivates really fast; in a few years, I¡¯m afraid even I will be surpassed by her.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om<div>


    Zeng Qianqian was her younger cousin, and although Zeng Min was the older cousin, she was several decades older than Zeng Qianqian.


    ¡°I heard that this year, in addition to Qianqian, that Yang Xiaotian will also be joining our Azure God Mansion,¡± Luo Zhou said, his expression turning serious at the mention of Yang Xiaotian.


    Although Yang Xiaotian had not yet joined the Azure God Mansion, the name of Divine Yang of Emperor Sanqian had already spread within the Azure God Mansion.


    The emergence of Yang Xiaotian had put great pressure on the multitude of disciples within the Azure God Mansion.


    Another Core Disciple, Yao Ruihong, said, ¡°I think this Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat power is exaggerated by people. His Eternal Divine Body is indeed powerful, but Brother Ren¡¯s Divine Body might not necessarily lose to the Eternal Divine Body!¡±


    Zeng Min nodded, smiling, ¡°Of course, Yang Xiaotian can¡¯tpare with Brother Ren.¡±


    The group continued their discussion as they traveled further away.


    After departing, Yang Xiaotian was rushing back to the Azure God Academy.


    Now that he had found the Divine Sword of Everything and cultivated the Fifteen Sword Hearts, and having broken through to the Emperor Realm, it was time for him to join the Azure God Mansion.


    However, to join the Azure God Mansion, he needed a rmendation from Chen Jing, the headmaster of the Azure God Academy.


    On his way, Yang Xiaotian did not idle, continuing his cultivation.


    Although he had now cultivated the Primordial Heaven Destiny, his current Divine Sea could not yet bear the power of two strands of Primordial Heaven Destiny, so he had to constantly consolidate his Divine Sea World and keep raising his Divine Sea True Essence.


    His current Divine Sea spanned over ten thousand li. If he could expand it to twenty thousand li, then he should be able to bear the power of a second Primordial Heaven Destiny.<div>


    However, while raising Divine Sea True Essence was easy, consolidating the Divine Sea World was difficult and exceedingly slow.


    Yang Xiaotian asked Master Ding if there was a way to quickly consolidate the Divine Sea World.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Master Ding answered, ¡°The Life God Fruit can rapidly elevate one¡¯s vigor, and there¡¯s a divine item that can swiftly consolidate the Divine Sea World.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked eagerly.


    ¡°Heavenly Fate Divine Stone,¡± Master Ding said. ¡°Only, the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone is even rarer to find than the Life God Fruit, almost as scarce as Tribtion Thunder Water from the Ninth Heaven.¡±


    As rare as Tribtion Thunder Water from the Ninth Heaven!


    Yang Xiaotian broke out in a sweat¡ªhow was he to find such a thing?

 Chapter 460: 460: Bro, Im Proud of You!

    Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Bro, I¡¯m Proud of You!


    The Nine Layers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water was incredibly hard to find, and Yang Xiaotian hade to know this all too well over the years.


    Since the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone was almost as rare as the Nine Layers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, one could imagine how difficult it was to find the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    ¡°Besides the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone, is there any other way?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    Master Ding shook his head, ¡°Aside from that, there is no other way.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to abandon any other thoughts.


    It seemed he had no choice but to search for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian began to concoct the Heavenly Emperor Pill.


    Having already broken through to the Emperor Realm, swallowing the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill for cultivation was no longer very effective, so he had to swallow the Heavenly Emperor Pill.


    The Heavenly Emperor Pill, passed down from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, was the best elixir for enhancing Divine Sea True Essence within the Emperor Realm.


    The Heavenly Emperor Pill, being the best elixir for enhancing Divine Sea True Essence in the Emperor Realm, was ten times more difficult to concoct than the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.<div>


    Moreover, it required a vast array of materials, many of which were seldom seen.


    Fortunately, however, the medicinal ingredients in the Ghost Den¡¯s treasure trove that Yang Xiaotian had obtained were plentiful and included the materials needed to concoct the Heavenly Emperor Pill.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian was not short on medicinal ingredients for the time being.


    The medicinal ingredients from the Ghost Den¡¯s treasure trove would be enough for Yang Xiaotian to continue his cultivation for some time.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the several hundred medicinal ingredients required to concoct the Heavenly Emperor Pill, controlling the three Divine mes as he did so.


    Under the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire, Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, and Thunder Tribtion Divine Fire, half a dayter, the first Heavenly Emperor Pill was finally concocted sessfully.


    Moreover, it sessfully triggered a second Heavenly Tribtion, attaining the quality of a double tribtion heavenly grade.


    Although he had sessfully concocted a double tribtion heavenly grade Heavenly Emperor Pill on his first try, Yang Xiaotian was still not satisfied because the half-day time spent was still too long.


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian began to concoct the second Heavenly Emperor Pill.


    The second time, he became much more proficient, and this time it took only a little over four hours.


    But Yang Xiaotian still thought that was too much time.


    He continued to concoct.


    The third pill took just over three hours.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian still found it insufficient.


    The fourth pill took him less than three hours.


    Yang Xiaotian still felt that the time was too long.


    Through repeated practice and refinement, finally, after ten days, he managed to reduce the time to within one hour.


    It was then that Yang Xiaotian finally stopped.


    If Medicine God Feng Yiming, Li Nian, and others knew that Yang Xiaotian was still not satisfied with concocting a double tribtion heavenly grade Heavenly Emperor Pill in half a day, who knows what they would think.<div>


    Many seven-star alchemists, if they could concoct an exceptional Heavenly Emperor Pill in a few days, would have considered it a very rare achievement and likely be overjoyed.


    On his way, every half month, Yang Xiaotian swallowed a double tribtion heavenly grade Heavenly Emperor Pill for his cultivation.


    Of course, he still persisted in swallowing the Six Layers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water every day, just as before.


    By the time he returned to Azure God Academy, he had sessfully broken through to the middle phase of the firstyer of the Emperor Realm.<div>


    No sooner had Yang Xiaotian returned to Azure God Academy than he heard the academy¡¯s disciples discussing the breakthroughs to the Emperor Realm made by Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, Princess Wan Ning, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han.


    The fact that Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han had broken through to the Emperor Realm did not surprise Yang Xiaotian, but he did not expect Princess Wan Ning to have achieved it so quickly.


    Princess Wan Ning had previously been at the peak of the Venerable Realm, but she had only just reached that peak not long ago. Yang Xiaotian had originally thought it would take her at least another year to break through to the Emperor Realm.


    At this moment, in the great hall of Azure God Academy, Chen Jing watched with delight as Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, Princess Wan Ning, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han gathered before him.


    Five students breaking through to the Emperor Realm within a month was indeed a record-breaking event for the Azure God Academy.


    ¡°Dean, since all five of us have already broken through to the Emperor Realm, when can we report to the Azure God Mansion?¡± Xie Buhui stepped forward and asked.


    Chen Jing pondered and said, ¡°Xiaotian is about to break through to the Emperor Realm as well. Once Xiaotian has broken through, I will take all six of you to report to the Azure God Mansion together.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xie Buhui frowned and said, ¡°Dean, during thest academypetition, Yang Xiaotian was only in thete period of the Venerable Realm¡¯s tenthyer. No one knows when he will be able to break through to the Emperor Realm. If he can¡¯t break through indefinitely, we can¡¯t just keep waiting for him, can we?¡±


    Xiao Han also spoke up, ¡°Brother Xie is right. If Yang Xiaotian gets stuck at the peak of the Venerable Realm¡¯s tenthyer for ten or eight years, aren¡¯t we supposed to wait for him for that long?¡±


    Many disciples of the Azure God Academy had rapidly advanced their cultivation after breaking through to the Venerable Realm, but upon reaching the peak of the Venerable Realm¡¯s tenthyer, they would invariably be unable to break through the gates to the Emperor Realm. Some were stuck for as long as ten years.


    This situation was not umon.


    Just as Chen Jing was about to speak, suddenly, a voice rang out, ¡°You don¡¯t have to wait for me.¡±


    Everyone was startled.<div>


    They saw a figure in light blue walking in from outside the great hall.


    Who else could it be but Yang Xiaotian?


    Princess Wan Ning saw Yang Xiaotian, her pretty face lighting up with joy, ¡°Xiaotian!¡±


    Zeng Qianqian also brightened up at the sight of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival.


    However, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han¡¯s expressions changed drastically, especially Xie Buhui, who subconsciously took a step back.


    Yang Xiaotian strode to the center of the great hall and bowed to Chen Jing, ¡°Dean.¡±


    Chen Jing looked at Yang Xiaotian, his face brimming with smiles, ¡°It¡¯s good to have you back.¡± Then he said to the others, ¡°How about this¡ªwithin six months, whether Xiaotian has broken through to the Emperor Realm or not, I will take you all to report to the Azure God Mansion. How does that sound?¡±


    ¡°We will wait for Xiaotian for six months.¡±


    Zeng Qianqian nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll follow the Dean¡¯s arrangements.¡±


    ¡°I will also follow the Dean¡¯s arrangements,¡± Wan Ning said with a smile, harboring even less objection now as she eagerly wished to join Yang Xiaotian in reporting to the Azure God Mansion.


    She had sought the help of her elders, allowing her to break through to the Emperor Realm in advance, all for the purpose of apanying Yang Xiaotian to the Azure God Mansion.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to wait for me,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°I have already broken through to the Emperor Realm.¡±


    He no longer concealed his aura, which burst forth, revealing his Emperor Realm presence.<div>


    Suddenly, an imperial might swept throughout the hall.


    A powerful and invincible force sted Xie Buhui and Xiao Han out of the hall.


    Everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Emperor Realm, firstyer, mid-stage!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian had not only broken through to the Emperor Realm but had already reached the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm¡¯s firstyer!


    How was this possible!


    After stepping into the Emperor Realm, many people would struggle for years to break through to the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm¡¯s firstyer. Yet, in just a matter of months, Yang Xiaotian had progressed directly from thete period of the Venerable Realm¡¯s tenthyer to the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm¡¯s firstyer.


    All eyes were wide with astonishment.


    ¡°Fantastic!¡± After the initial shock, Chen Jingughed with joy, ¡°Since Xiaotian has broken through to the Emperor Realm, we will go to report to the Azure God Mansion in two days.¡±


    At the entrance of the great hall, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were both shocked and angered upon being struck by Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian had clearly done it on purpose. When he released his power, everyone else was fine, but they were the ones blown away.


    A sh of ck cold light flickered in Xie Buhui¡¯s eyes.


    Since they were going to the Azure God Mansion in two days, Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Residence. When Yang Chao and Huang Ying learned that their son had broken through to the Emperor Realm and would be going to the Azure God Mansion in two days, thus bing a disciple of the mansion, they cried tears of overwhelming joy and brimmed with pride.<div>


    Even Yang Ling¡¯er was lifting her little clenched fists,ughing out loud, ¡°Bro, I¡¯m so proud of you!¡±


    The Azure God Mansion was the sacred ce in the hearts of all martial artists on the Azure God Continent, a ce that many talented individuals in the martial dao could not join in their entire lives.


    Yet Yang Xiaotian was set to join the Azure God Mansion at the age of fifteen, a feat utterly unprecedented in their time.

 Chapter 461: 461 Xiaotian, Dont Be Unconvinced

    Chapter 461: 461 Chapter Xiaotian, Don¡¯t Be Unconvinced


    Over the next two days, Yang Xiaotian stayed at the Divine Residence, spending time with his family and not going anywhere else.


    The two days passed quickly, and he, along with Chen Jing and a few others, set out for Azure God Mansion.


    Before leaving, Yang Xiaotian instructed Demon Ape, Old Bing, Old Meng, Man Fang, and others about many matters, asking them to help him gather information about the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    He also ordered everyone not to leave the Imperial Capital for the next few years unless something important came up.


    At the same time, he instructed them to notify him as soon as his younger sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm.


    His sister, Yang Ling¡¯er, was also close to breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm. Once she achieved this breakthrough, she could condense a Soul Ring. He wanted to personally hunt a Soul Beast for his sister.


    After all, the condensing of a Soul Ring was an extremely important matter and could not be taken lightly.


    Of course, when leaving, Yang Xiaotian also left behind arge quantity of ore materials for the Dwarf n¡¯s experts. These materials were part of the treasure from the Ghost Den, but there was still enough to construct thousands of pces.


    In thepany of the Divine Residence crowd, Yang Xiaotian ascended into the skies, his figure gradually disappearing in the brilliant sunlight.


    For the trip to report to Azure God Mansion, aside from Chen Jing personally apanying Yang Xiaotian and the others, Li Bi and several of the strongest ancestors from the Azure God Academy were also there to provide protection.<div>


    After all, the individuals like Yang Xiaotian, Zeng Qianqian, and Wan Ning were too important to allow any mishaps.


    Besides Chen Jing and Li Bi providing escort, the Myriad Gods Imperial n had also dispatched arge number of experts to secretly safeguard them.


    The group traveled rapidly aboard the flying ship provided by the Azure God Academy.


    On the ship, Chen Jing called Yang Xiaotian and the others to him and exined some of the rules of Azure God Mansion.


    Although Yang Xiaotian and the others had already broken through to the Emperor Realm, they still had to participate in the entrance assessment before arriving at the Azure God Mansion.


    Chen Jing said to Yang Xiaotian and the others with a smile, ¡°Once you get to Azure God Mansion, you¡¯ll be as free as the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea. Azure God Mansion has many more resources than our Azure God Academy, and you must strive to seize them.¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn


    ¡°One day, Azure God Mansion, Azure God Academy, and Azure God Continent will all require your protection.¡±


    Hearing Chen Jing mention the resources of Azure God Mansion, Yang Xiaotian felt a stir in his heart and asked, ¡°Dean, does Azure God Mansion have any Heavenly Fate Divine Stones?¡±


    Heavenly Fate Divine Stones?


    Chen Jing almost choked.


    This youngster truly was astonishing in his speech.


    But he paused and said, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Upon hearing that Azure God Mansion had Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, not only Yang Xiaotian, but even Zeng Qianqian and Wan Ning¡¯s eyes shone brightly.


    Chen Jing said to Yang Xiaotian and the others, ¡°In light of the emergence of the Nether Sect and the Undying Death God, the Mansion Master has decided to stimte the disciples of Azure God Mansion to practice diligently. Two days ago, it was settled that in this year¡¯s greatpetition among Azure God Mansion disciples, the one who wins first ce will be rewarded with ten Heavenly Fate Divine Stones!¡±


    Rewarding ten Heavenly Fate Divine Stones!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart jolted.


    Azure God Mansion was indeed generous. Heavenly Fate Divine Stones were precious treasures, and this year¡¯s greatpetition for Azure God Mansion disciples offered ten Heavenly Fate Divine Stones as a direct reward for first ce.


    ¡°Is it only the first ce that gets rewarded with Heavenly Fate Divine Stones?¡± Jun Xiaoyao couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Seeing the excited expressions of Yang Xiaotian and the others, Chen Jingughed and said, ¡°Second and third ce are also rewarded. However, second and third ces get five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones each.¡±<div>


    ¡°Fourth to sixth ces will be rewarded with three, and seventh to tenth ces with two.¡±


    Continuing, Chen Jing added with a smile, ¡°Moreover, the Mansion Master has also decreed that if the first-ce winner dares to ept the challenge of a united front from the next nine ranks and manages to win, the first-ce victor can im all of the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.¡±


    Everyone was shocked.


    Such a rule existed!<div>


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible for one person to win against a united challenge from nine others,¡± Jun Xiaoyao said hesitantly.


    Chen Jing nodded and smiled, ¡°Definitely can¡¯t win, but, the Mansion Master¡¯s rule is merely intended to inspire everyone to practice even harder.¡±


    Speaking of which, he said to Yang Xiaotian and the others, ¡°Your talents are indeed monstrous, and yourbat strength is very strong, but you¡¯ve only just broken through to the first level of Emperor Realm, nowhere near enough topare with the Core Disciples of the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    ¡°You should give up on the idea ofpeting in the Azure God Mansion Disciple Competition this time.¡±


    ¡°If you rigorously cultivate for another ten years and participate in the Azure God Mansion Disciple Competition, perhaps you could obtain a good ranking.¡±


    ¡°If you rigorously cultivate for twenty years, maybe you could seize a spot in the top twenty.¡±


    This was not Chen Jing trying to dampen the spirits of Yang Xiaotian and the others; although their talents were monstrous, the old disciples of the Azure God Mansion were equally so.


    Those who could enter the Azure God Mansion weren¡¯t of average talent either.


    Those Core Disciples were all above the tenth level of the Emperor Realm; although Yang Xiaotian and hispanions were strong in battle, it would be difficult to defeat those Core Disciples because the gap in their realms was just toorge.


    Chen Jing said to Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Xiaotian, although you defeated Lin Yue during the Imperial Pce banquet, Lin Yue was only at the early stages of the tenth level of Emperor Realm.¡±


    ¡°Among all the Core Disciples of the Azure God Mansion, Lin Yue¡¯s strength wouldn¡¯t even rank within the top hundred.¡±


    Wan Ning, Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han were all greatly shocked: ¡°That Lin Yue can¡¯t even make it into the top hundred?¡±


    Lin Yue possessed the powerful bloodline of the royal family of the angel n from the Ancient God n, had the Holy Angel Body, and had cultivated the Suppressing Heavenly Divine Prison Body. Yet, his strength couldn¡¯t make it into the top hundred?<div>


    This truly surprised Wan Ning and the others.


    Chen Jing¡¯s face turned serious, ¡°Though Lin Yue¡¯s talent is strong, there are many in the Azure God Mansion with even more monstrous talents. Even if Lin Yue¡¯s strength increased to the peak of the tenth level of Emperor Realm, he would only make it into the top thirty.¡±


    Everyone was astonished.


    That is to say, Lin Yue¡¯s talent was only enough to ce him within the top thirty among all disciples of the Azure God Mansion, and there were twenty-nine disciples with talents even greater than his.


    Even Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    There were so many monstrous geniuses within the Azure God Mansion.


    Lin Yue could only be ranked in the top thirty?


    This, in turn, ignited Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fierce desire topete.


    Chen Jing sensed the burning fighting spirit within Yang Xiaotian and smiled, ¡°Xiaotian, don¡¯t be unconvinced. Your Eternal Divine Body is terrifying, but your realm is too low. If you can break through to the seventh level of Emperor Realm, you should have a chance at the top ten.¡±


    This was already an extremely high evaluation from Chen Jing.


    An Emperor Realm seventh level manages to snatch a top-ten spot in the Azure God Mansion Disciple Competition, an absolute unprecedented feat.


    Having heard this, Yang Xiaotian smiled and didn¡¯t retort.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s reaction, Chen Jing knew that Yang Xiaotian was unconvinced and smiled, ¡°When you enter the Azure God Mansion, you¡¯ll see for yourself. If you want to defeat the Six Scions of Azure God, you¡¯ll need to break through to the ninth level of Emperor Realm.¡±<div>


    ¡°The Six Scions of Azure God!¡± Hearing Chen Jing mention the Six Scions of Azure God, Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han couldn¡¯t hide their trepidation.


    Although they were part of the Azure God Academy, the Six Scions of Azure God were names that resounded like thunder in their ears.


    The Six Scions of Azure God were renowned throughout the Azure God Continent, each one of them monstrously talented, and some even said that they had been chosen as future Young Mansion Masters of the Azure God Mansion.


    ¡°The Six Scions of Azure God?¡± Yet Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm.


    In the blink of an eye, six days passed.


    The Azure God Mansion was within sight.


    ¡°That is the Azure God Mansion.¡± In the sunlight, Chen Jing pointed ahead.


    Everyone looked and saw a range of endless pces nestled among the mountains and dense forests.


    Even from a great distance, they could still feel the overwhelming aura of the Azure God Mansion that towered above all gods.

 Chapter 462: 462: Yang Xiaotian, Are You Ready?

    Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Yang Xiaotian, Are You Ready?


    Looking at the Azure God Mansion in front of them, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others were all deeply moved.


    The Azure God Mansion was a sacred ce for the people of the Azure God Continent, and for them, even more so!


    Because they had all walked out from the Azure God Mansion years ago.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s enter the Azure God Mansion!¡± Chen Jing eximed excitedly with a wave of his hand, then, collecting the flying ship, they all flew towards the Azure God Mansion.


    The disciples patrolling the Azure God Mansion recognized Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others, and with great respect, they performed a salute then invited Yang Xiaotian and his group into the Azure God Mansion.


    The arrival of Chen Jing, Yang Xiaotian, and their group caused quite a stir among the disciples of the Azure God Mansion.


    The reason was simple: among the disciplesing to report this time, there was a young prodigy with all meridians opened and possessing the Eternal Divine Body¡ªYang Xiaotian.


    Even Zeng Qianqian, who possessed the five top Divine Bodies, seemed to pale inparison before Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Is that blue-robed youth Yang Xiaotian?!¡±


    ¡°I heard he¡¯s only fifteen years old this year! To be at the Emperor Realm at fifteen, it¡¯s truly astonishing! This is the young Martial Emperor!¡±<div>


    Many disciples of the Azure God Mansion watched Yang Xiaotian from afar, filled with amazement.


    In the Azure God Continent, anyone under eighteen was considered a youth.


    But those who could break through to the Martial Emperor before reaching eighteen were few and far between, Yang Xiaotian alone achieved this.


    ¡°Is that Miss Qianqian? Possessing the five top Divine Bodies, she truly deserves to be the next head of the Zeng Family designated by the Mansion Master himself!¡±


    Quite a few male disciples of the Azure God Mansion were also discussing Zeng Qianqian.


    Wan Ning, Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han¡¯s talents were strong as well, but to these disciples of the Azure God Mansion, they were not as dazzling.


    The ones who truly astonished everyone were only Yang Xiaotian and Zeng Qianqian.


    Of course, there were also some discussions about Wan Ning.


    After all, Wan Ning was a renowned beauty, and also a princess of the Myriad Gods Empire.


    It was at this moment, suddenly, a shocking Sword Qi burst through the air.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    No, to be exact, a person enveloped in shocking Sword Qi came soaring in. He was Sword Qi, and the Sword Qi was him; he hadpletely merged with the Sword Qi.


    The figure¡¯s speed was astoundingly fast, arriving in front of Yang Xiaotian and the others in the blink of an eye and blocking their path.


    The neer was a young man, not bearing a sword, but exuding an aura where every bit of him seemed to beprised of Sword Qi, with an exceedingly terrifying killing intent. His killing aura was like an endless sea, profound and limitless¡ªjust the sight of it was enough to scare the living daylights out of someone.


    Yang Xiaotian had never seen anyone with such intense killing aura before.


    This killing aura was not directed at himself; it belonged to the man himself.


    Seeing the neer, Chen Jing¡¯s eyes narrowed: ¡°Son of ughter!¡±


    The person was none other than one of the Six Sons of Azure God, the Son of ughter, Meng Bai.


    Hearing that the person was the Son of ughter Meng Bai, one of the Six Sons of Azure God, Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and the others couldn¡¯t help but change their expressions.


    Meng Bai did not look at Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the rest. Standing with his hands behind him, he looked down arrogantly at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°You are that Yang Xiaotian? I¡¯ve heard your Eternal Divine Body is the strongest and invincible. Do you dare to take a sword strike from me?¡±<div>


    Hearing that Meng Bai wanted to make a move on Yang Xiaotian, Chen Jing¡¯s expression turned grave as he shouted, ¡°Today is the reporting day at the Azure God Academy, if you want to spar with Yang Xiaotian, choose another day. Step back!¡±


    In the face of Chen Jing¡¯s reprimand, the Son of ughter Meng Bai remainedposed, ¡°Chen Jing, although you are the head of Azure God Academy, you have no control over me.¡±


    Chen Jing was the Dean of Azure God Academy, a powerful Divine Spirit, revered in status. Other disciples of the Azure God Academy, upon seeing Chen Jing, would not dare to take a deep breath.


    But at that moment, when the Son of ughter, Meng Bai, faced Chen Jing¡¯s scolding, he did not take it to heart.<div>


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, are you ready?¡± Meng Bai turned his head towards Yang Xiaotian, and after speaking, his whole body was enveloped in Sword Qi, with an intent to kill erupting to the skies, condensing into a terrifying pir of ughter.


    The intent to kill gathered into a pir of ughter, which was exceedingly shocking.


    Just as Meng Bai was about to make his move, suddenly, a voice shouted, ¡°Presumptuous!¡±


    A figure tore through the void, appearing in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.


    Theer was none other than Sword God Xi Long.


    Seeing that it was Sword God Xi Long, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others hurriedly came forward to greet him. Even the previously arrogant Son of ughter, Meng Bai, who had not taken Chen Jing seriously, could no longer afford to be arrogant and lowered his hands, respectfully saying, ¡°Lord Xi Long.¡±


    ¡°Meng Bai, although you are one of the Six Sons of the Azure God, as long as you are a disciple of the Azure God Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Azure God Mansion!¡± Xi Long scolded, ¡°Step back now!¡±


    Meng Bai did not dare to say much, agreeing with a yes, then stepped back and transformed into a Sword Qi that disappeared into the sky.


    Seeing Meng Bai depart, Sword God Xi Long¡¯s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and the previously stern face now showed a smile, ¡°Young Yang, we meet again. I never expected that less than a yearter, our next meeting would be in the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian sped his fists and smiled, ¡°Divine Medicine scrap, I¡¯ve received it, thank you, Lord Xi Long.¡±


    Xi Longughed loudly, ¡°As long as you¡¯ve received it. The Mansion Master knew you needed Divine Medicine scraps and had us collect them especially for you. We¡¯ve gathered quite a bit, and were just about to send them to you. Now that you¡¯re here, you¡¯ve saved my disciples a trip.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.


    He did not expect that the Mansion Master of Azure God Mansion would specially have someone collect Divine Medicine scraps for him.<div>


    The Life God Fruit may primarily enhance vitality and blood, but it can also improve Divine Sea True Essence.


    ¡°Thank you, Lord Xi Long and the Mansion Master,¡± Yang Xiaotian said as he sped his fists.


    Xi Long waved his hand with a smile, ¡°The Mansion Master has high expectations for you. He hopes you will practice diligently so that within ten years, you can win first ce in the disciples¡¯petition.¡±


    ¡°I will not disappoint the Mansion Master¡¯s high expectations,¡± Yang Xiaotian smiled.


    Afterward, Xi Long took Yang Xiaotian and a group of others to the registration area of Azure God Mansion to report.


    Then, Xi Long also arranged living amodations for Yang Xiaotian, Zeng Qianqian, and a few others, telling Yang Xiaotian and the others to rest well and participate in the new disciple assessment tomorrow.


    That night, Xi Long had his disciples send Yang Xiaotian arge batch of Divine Medicine scraps.


    Meanwhile, the news of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival at the Azure God Mansion spread among the disciples of the mansion.


    In the dwelling of the chief disciple Ren Tianye, sat a gathering of core disciples of the Azure God Mansion.


    Lin Yue was also seated, but he was at the very back.


    Luo Zhou eximed in surprise, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yang Xiaotian to join our Azure God Mansion so quickly. I really don¡¯t know how he cultivates.¡±


    ¡°A tall tree in the forest will be blown down by the wind!¡± Zeng Min snorted coldly, ¡°If Lord Xi Long hadn¡¯t shown up today, Meng Bai would have probably beaten Yang Xiaotian to near death already.¡±


    Yao Ruihongughed and said, ¡°Given Meng Bai¡¯s character, this matter is certainly not over. Just watch, in a few days, Meng Bai will definitely seek out Yang Xiaotian again to test his ughter God Sword Path!¡±<div>


    ¡°Tomorrow is his new disciple assessment,¡± Ren Tianye¡¯s eyes were deep, ¡°Let¡¯s see how Yang Xiaotian performs in the new disciple assessment tomorrow.¡±


    In his own new disciple assessment, he had hunted a full one hundred thousand Emperor Realm Fierce Beasts, breaking the record of the Azure God Mansion.


    To this day, he still holds the highest record for the new disciple assessment in the Azure God Mansion.

 Chapter 463: 463: Just Need 8 Punches

    Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Just Need 8 Punches


    Yang Xiaotian looked at therge batch of Divine Medicine residue sent over by Xi Long¡¯s disciples, and was pleasantly surprised. This batch of Divine Medicine residue was even more substantial than what Xi Long had given him before.


    If he devoured all the Life God Fruits, he should be able to produce four Life God Fruits!


    Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian immediately fed all the Divine Medicine residue to the Life God Tree.


    The next day.


    Yang Xiaotian got up early in the morning and practiced several Divine Swords for a while. Noticing the sky was already bright, he then went to the square.


    He saw that the square had already gathered many people.


    Xi Long, Chen Jing, Li Nian, and others had arrived, and many disciples hade as well.


    Clearly, these disciples were all curious to see the results of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s neer assessment.


    Upon Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival, Xi Long was about to speak when suddenly, someone eximed in surprise, ¡°Mansion Master! The Mansion Master is here!¡±


    Everyone looked and saw a tall middle-aged man flying through the sky, followed by a group of high-ranking figures from the Azure God Mansion, such as Saber God Zhao Feng, whom Yang Xiaotian had previously seen at the Death Sword Tomb.<div>


    The disciples were thrilled to see their Mansion Master appearing in person.


    It was known that their Mansion Master rarely made appearances, even the Six Sons of the Azure God hardly saw Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang.


    And this time it was not just Zeng Yongjiang who hade, but also Saber God Zhao Feng, Medicine God Li Nian, and with the already present Sword God Xi Long, three of the Four Gods had arrived!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s participation in a neer assessment had not only stirred their Mansion Master but also attracted three of the Four Gods!


    This made many disciples feel shocked, jealous, and envious.


    It was known that even Ren Tianye, the foremost of the Six Sons of the Azure God, did not receive the Mansion Master¡¯s presence during the annual Disciple Assembly.


    Upon seeing Zeng Yongjiang¡¯s arrival, Xi Long, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others hurriedly went forward to greet him.


    Zeng Qianqian stepped forward and greeted Zeng Yongjiang cutely, ¡°Great Ancestor.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian, along with Princess Wan Ning and a few others, also stepped forward to bow respectfully, ¡°Mansion Master.¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang smiled at Zeng Qianqian and said, ¡°Youss, always holding your head higher than the sky, believing your talent is the best in the world. Now you¡¯ve been beaten, eh?¡± His eyes brimmed with affection.


    Zeng Qianqian knew her great grandfather was referring to her defeat by Yang Xiaotian. Her pretty face blushed as she said, ¡°I will work hard in the future to win first ce at the Azure God Mansion Disciple Assembly.¡±


    Zeng Yongjiangughed heartily. His gazended on Yang Xiaotian as he said with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian, isn¡¯t it? Truly a person of talent, the dragon among men, worthy of being the descendant of Divine Yang of the Emperor Sanqian.¡±


    The disciples watched as their usually stern Mansion Master kept praising Yang Xiaotian, their envy intensifying.


    ¡°Mansion Master tters me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with sped hands and a smile.


    Xi Long introduced everyone to Yang Xiaotian and said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve met Saber God Zhao Feng before; this gentleman is Medicine God Li Nian. He is the elder brother of your academy¡¯s elder, Li Bi.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    The Medicine God Li Nian of the Azure God Mansion was the elder brother of the elder of their Azure God Academy, Li Bi?


    This was indeed unexpected.


    Yang Xiaotian then met Zhao Feng, Li Nian, and a group of high-ranking figures from the Azure God Mansion.<div>


    Zeng Yongjiang smiled at Yang Xiaotian, ¡°The highest record for our Azure God Mansion neer¡¯s assessment is held by Ren Tianye. He hunted one hundred and ten thousand, two hundred and thirty-four Emperor Realm Fierce Beasts in one day.¡±


    ¡°What do you think? Do you have the confidence to break Ren Tianye¡¯s record?¡±


    Then he smiled, ¡°If you can break Ren Tianye¡¯s record, I¡¯ll give you five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, how about that?¡±


    Five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones!<div>


    All the disciples were greatly shocked.


    This year¡¯s Azure God Mansion Disciple Assembly awarded five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones for second and third ce.


    But now, if Yang Xiaotian could break the neer assessment record, he would be directly rewarded with five!


    Even Sword God Xi Long and the others were surprised that Zeng Yongjiang would offer five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones as a reward to Yang Xiaotian.


    It showed how much Zeng Yongjiang favored Yang Xiaotian.


    Even Zeng Qianqian pouted, feeling that her great ancestor was ying favorites.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Yang Xiaotian was delighted and said with a smile, ¡°Xiaotian will do his best.¡±


    ¡°Good!¡± Zeng Yongjiang, detecting the confidence in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s words,ughed.


    Following that was the neer¡¯s assessment.


    Xi Long opened the door to the Secret Realm and sent Yang Xiaotian, Zeng Qianqian, and all six people including Princess Wan Ning into the Secret Realm.


    The new disciple assessment at the Azure God Mansion was simr to that at the Azure God Academy. They both involved hunting Fierce Beasts within the Secret Realm, but while the academy focused on hunting Venerable Realm Fierce Beasts, the mansion targeted Emperor Realm Fierce Beasts.


    However, to pass the Azure God Mansion¡¯s assessment, one had to hunt two thousand Emperor Realm Fierce Beasts within a single day.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian enter the Secret Realm, Zeng Yongjiang turned to Xi Long and the others with a smile and asked, ¡°What do you guys think? How many beasts can this kid Xiaotian hunt?¡±<div>


    Medicine God Li Nianughed and said, ¡°I guess one hundred and ten thousand.¡±


    Hunting Fierce Beasts became more difficult the deeper one went.


    Because as one progressed, the consumption of True Yuan increased, and the hunting speed would slow down.


    ¡°I guess also one hundred and ten thousand,¡± Saber God Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s one hundred and twenty thousand,¡± Sword God Xi Long said with augh.


    ¡°It should be one hundred and thirty thousand,¡± Chen Jing, however, said with a smile.


    Zeng Yongjiang, seeing that everyone was convinced Yang Xiaotian could break the record, let out a heartyugh and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see what this kid can actually hunt.


    At this moment, having entered the Secret Realm, Yang Xiaotian unleashed the power of his Soul, activated his Dantian, and mobilized all the True Yuan in his 1,296 acupoints and Divine Sea. He suddenly threw his fists in one direction.


    Boom!


    An astonishing force transformed into two incredibly terrifying golden oceans of light that flew out from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists.


    Suddenly, Heaven and Earth shook.


    Shockwaves tumbled.


    Countless Fierce Beasts were tossed about.<div>


    A rain of blood erupted.


    These beasts couldn¡¯t even let out a wail before they were all shattered into a rain of blood.


    When he was at thete phase of Venerable Realm Ten Layers, even Lin Yue couldn¡¯t withstand Yang Xiaotian¡¯s True Essence Power, let alone now that Yang Xiaotian had broken through to the Emperor Realm.


    Even Emperor Realm Ten Layers peak Fierce Beasts, struck by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist, were directly obliterated.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist struck with an irresistible momentum, sting towards the ends of the sky.


    As more and more Fierce Beasts were pounded to death, the shine on Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Assessment Token fluctuated greatly.


    One, two, ten, one hundred¡­


    One thousand, two thousand, ten thousand¡­


    When Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist finally stopped at the ends of the sky, his Assessment Token astonishingly gained an additional thirteen thousand plus orbs of light.


    With this punch, he annihted over thirteen thousand Emperor Realm Fierce Beasts!


    What a mighty force it was.


    At this pace, he would need only eight punches to exceed Ren Tianye and break the new disciple assessment record of the Azure God Mansion.


    However, Yang Xiaotian still found it too slow.<div>


    So with his second punch, he unleashed the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    Boom!


    As his fists struck out, the River of Time surged with a terrifying force towards the ends of the sky, and then yet again toward those ends.


    The entire space of the Secret Realm shook violently as if it were about to copse.


    Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, and others who were hunting Fierce Beasts in other parts of the Secret Realm felt Yang Xiaotian¡¯s overwhelmingly invincible power and were utterly shocked.


    Indeed, under the power of the Eternal Divine Body, the count of hunted Fierce Beasts surged again, reaching twenty thousand.


    Yang Xiaotian rose up through the air and threw his third punch.


    The power of the Eternal Divine Body burst forth again.


    After several consecutive punches, Yang Xiaotian then stopped, using his identity card to teleport out of the Secret Realm space.


    As long as he hunted enough Fierce Beasts, he could leave the Secret Realm space midway, without needing to stay the whole day.


    So, just a dozen or so breaths after entering the Secret Realm space, Yang Xiaotian came out from it.


    Thus, as Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and the others were discussing how many Fierce Beasts Yang Xiaotian could hunt, suddenly, they saw a sh of light in the Secret Realm space, and Yang Xiaotian walked out.


    The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and


    continue reading tomorrow, everyone!

 Chapter 464: Possibly 300,000 Years!

    Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Possibly 300,000 Years!


    All stopped in their tracks.


    Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, Chen Jing looked astonished at Yang Xiaotian emerging from the Secret Realm.


    Hadn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian just entered the Secret Realm? Why had hee out so soon?


    ¡°Could it be that he failed the assessment?¡± Suddenly, from within the crowd in the distance, a disciple murmured quietly.


    Since Yang Xiaotian hade out after just a dozen breaths, it wasn¡¯t surprising that these disciples would think this way.


    Some new disciples, upon encountering extremely powerful Fierce Beasts in the Secret Realm and facing life-threatening danger, had no choice but to flee.


    Perhaps Yang Xiaotian had encountered a Fierce Beast at the peak of the Emperor Realm!


    Thinking this, many Core Disciples couldn¡¯t help but revel in his misfortune.


    If Yang Xiaotian failed the new disciple assessment, wouldn¡¯t that mean he couldn¡¯t even join the Azure God Mansion?


    The expressions of Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and others darkened.


    ¡°Xiaotian, what happened?¡± Chen Jing asked anxiously as he stepped forward.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face remained calm as he smiled, ¡°President, I have passed the assessment.¡±


    Passed the assessment?


    Everyone was taken aback.


    ¡°You killed enough two thousand Fierce Beasts?¡± Chen Jing was shocked.


    Knowing everyone¡¯s confusion, Yang Xiaotian walked up to Zeng Yongjiang and took out his assessment identity token to hand to him.


    Zeng Yongjiang, with a puzzled look, opened the inner space of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity token.


    Upon seeing it, he froze, his face aghast as if he had seen a ghost, the dense and countless spheres of light within the token¡¯s inner space.


    Xi Long, seeing Zeng Yongjiang¡¯s reaction, took the identity token from him, also in disbelief, his eyes widening as if there were a hundred Divine Swords inside.


    Curious, Medicine God Li Nian took it over and looked, eximing shocked, ¡°This, this is impossible!¡±


    Seeing the reactions of Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, Li Nian, everyone felt that something bizarre was going on, unable to understand why the normally unppable Mansion Master had lost hisposure to such an extent.


    Saber God Zhao Feng took it and blurted out, ¡°One hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred beasts!¡±


    One hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred beasts!


    The disciples on the scene fellpletely silent.


    Even Chen Jing, Li Bi, and others were stunned.


    Had Yang Xiaotian really killed one hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred beasts in just a dozen breaths?!


    At that moment, Ren Tianye was sitting leisurely in his cave dwelling¡¯s grand hall, sipping premium Dragon Tea, and asked his subordinate, ¡°Has Yang Xiaotian¡¯s new disciple assessment begun?¡±


    ¡°Reporting to Senior Brother, it has already begun,¡± his subordinate hastily replied, then hesitantly added, ¡°Mansion Master, Saber God, and Medicine God have all gone to the scene.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the Mansion Master has said that if Yang Xiaotian could break your record, Senior Brother, he would reward him with five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye¡¯s face sank abruptly, and he crushed the teacup in his hand.


    He had made countless contributions for the Azure God Mansion, his talent had been praised as the first in the history of the Azure God Mansion, and he had never been treated with such regard. What deed or ability did Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple who had just arrived, have to enjoy five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones!


    Luo Zhou, Zeng Min, and others had juste inside when they heard this, their expressions also grew stern.


    ¡°Senior Brother had killed one hundred and one thousand two hundred and thirty four Fierce Beasts during his new disciple assessment. That record, maintained for many years, had never been broken. Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯sbat strength is astonishing, it may not be enough to break it,¡± Zeng Min said in a heavy tone.


    But at that moment, a disciple hurriedly ran in, panting, ¡°Senior Brother, news has juste from the new disciple assessment¡ªYang Xiaotian has killed one hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred Fierce Beasts!¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Ren Tianye was so startled that he stood up from his chair, his face full of disbelief.


    Luo Zhou and Zeng Min were equally incredulous.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying, 143,200 fierce beasts? But didn¡¯t the assessment just begin?!¡± Ren Tianye¡¯s face was bulging with veins, his eyes terrifying.


    ¡°It has indeed just started.¡± That disciple stammered, ¡°It¡¯s said that Yang Xiaotian entered the Secret Realm and came out after just a dozen breaths.¡±


    ¡°Everyone thought he had failed the assessment, but then, Mansion Master, Saber God, they checked Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity que and discovered that Yang Xiaotian had already hunted 143,200 fierce beasts!¡±


    Ren Tianye stood there, dumbstruck.


    Luo Zhou, Zeng Min¡¯s minds went nk.


    Is this even human?


    In just a dozen breaths, he killed over 143,000 Emperor Realm fierce beasts?


    The two of them felt a tempest churning in their hearts.


    Soon, the result of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s freshman assessment spread far and wide.


    The numerous disciples of the Azure God Mansion were all shocked.


    Son of ughter Meng Bai was just relieving himself when he heard the news and shivered, the flow cutting off abruptly.


    In the end, Yang Xiaotian received five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones from Zeng Yongjiang.


    Night fell.


    Yang Xiaotian took out one of the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones in his cave dwelling.


    The Heavenly Fate Divine Stone wasn¡¯trge, only the size of a palm, emitting a faint divine radiance and a mysterious light of destiny.


    Yang Xiaotian operated the Primordial Dragon Art and began to absorb the energy contained within the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    Instantly, wisps of divine radiance drifted from the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone, pouring into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, and then merged into his Divine Sea World.


    As the divine radiance of the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone integrated into his Divine Sea World, it shone brilliantly, solidifying continuously.


    At this time, in the main hall of the Azure God Mansion, the lights were burning brightly, with Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, Zhao Feng, Li Nian, Chen Jing, and others all seated.


    ¡°What do you all think about this matter?¡± Zeng Yongjiang spoke up, referring to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s freshman assessment.


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how the youngster did it, there¡¯s no faking this matter,¡± Xi Long said without hesitation.


    Zhao Feng said with a wry smile, ¡°We were all guessing about the power of the Eternal Divine Body some time ago, it seems the power of the Eternal Divine Body far surpasses our imagination.¡±


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s view, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s ability to hunt so many fierce beasts in such a short time must be due to the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    Zeng Yongjiang, however, chuckled and said, ¡°I always feel that thisd has many secrets we don¡¯t know about. I¡¯ve had people investigate at Celestial Burial Academy; during the fight with Du Hongqing, Xiaotian himself said his Soul Rings weren¡¯t just a hundred thousand years old.¡±


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    ¡°What, more than a hundred thousand years!¡± Xi Long and Zhao Feng were all greatly astonished.


    ¡°Does Mansion Master mean that Xiaotian has a two hundred thousand year Soul Ring?¡± Xi Long asked, astonished.


    Zeng Yongjiang nodded and smiled, ¡°He only said that his Soul Rings were more than a hundred thousand years old. However, whether they are two hundred thousand years old, we don¡¯t know.¡± He then made a shocking statement, ¡°Maybe his Soul Rings could even be three hundred thousand years old!¡±


    ¡°Three hundred thousand years!¡± Xi Long, Zhao Feng, and the others all gasped.


    Chen Jing was no exception.


    Zeng Yongjiang, looking towards the direction of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s dwelling, said, ¡°Whether it¡¯s a three hundred thousand year Soul Ring or not, we¡¯ll know the day he summons his Martial Soul.¡±


    ¡°Thisd has never summoned his Martial Soul in front of others.¡±


    ¡°His Martial Soul and Soul Rings must be incredibly astonishing, otherwise, he would not have kept them hidden so deeply!¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang¡¯s words echoed in the great hall for a long time.


    Yang Xiaotian, oblivious to Zeng Yongjiang and the others¡¯ spections, was wholeheartedly refining the five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones he had obtained from Zeng Yongjiang.


    Two days passed, and finally, all five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones were refined.

    Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Son of Azure God, Ren Tianye


    ¡°`


    After consuming five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, his Divine Sea World shone even more brightly, with the sky and the ground seeming as if they were coated with ayer of fine, golden flowing light.


    However, Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    After consuming the five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, although his Divine Sea World had be much stronger, it was still not strong enough to bear the power of two Primordial Heaven Destinies.


    Unless he had five more Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    But where to get another five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones now?


    Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but think about the greatpetition among the disciples of the Azure God Mansion.


    Should he win first ce and defeat the top nine, he would get thirty-seven Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    If he had thirty-seven Heavenly Fate Divine Stones to solidify his Divine Sea World, it wouldn¡¯t just be two Primordial Heaven Destinies he could hold, but even five.


    With this thought, Yang Xiaotian left his cave abode and flew towards the registration area of the Mission Hall.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was flying towards the registration area of the Mission Hall, Ren Tianye looked at Luo Zhou with an ugly expression, ¡°What did you just say?¡±


    Luo Zhou took a deep breath and said, ¡°These past two days, many core disciples have been investigating Xiaotian. They say Xiaotian once stayed at the Celestial Burial Academy in Buddha Source, and during a battle with Du Hongqing a few days ago, Xiaotian personally admitted that his Soul Ring was more than one hundred thousand years old!¡±


    ¡°What, more than one hundred thousand years!¡± Zeng Min, Meng Bai, and Yao Ruihong were all shocked upon hearing this.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiaotian openly acknowledged that his Soul Ring was more than one hundred thousand years old!¡± Luo Zhou¡¯s voice was a bit excited, ¡°Many disciples from the Celestial Burial Academy said Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring is two hundred thousand years old!¡±


    Two hundred thousand years!


    Zeng Min, Meng Bai, and the others were greatly shaken.


    ¡°Did those disciples from the Celestial Burial Academy see Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring with their own eyes at two hundred thousand years old?¡± Ren Tianye asked gravely.


    ¡°That¡¯s not the case,¡± Luo Zhou shook his head. ¡°Those disciples from the Celestial Burial Academy are only specting.¡±


    Zeng Min shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s just spection; it¡¯s not necessarily true. Perhaps Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring is just one hundred and ten thousand years old.¡±


    She didn¡¯t believe Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring could be two hundred thousand years old.


    Meng Bai¡¯s eyes flickered, ¡°To find out how many tens of thousands of years his Soul Ring truly is, I just need to try it out once he leaves the Azure God Mansion.¡±


    He, the Son of ughter, didn¡¯t believe it either.


    ¡°Has the registration for today¡¯s academypetition started?¡± Ren Tianye suddenly asked, not wanting to dwell on the issue of Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring anymore.


    The more he talked about it, the more annoying it became!


    ¡°It started today,¡± Luo Zhou nodded.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll head to the Mission Hall,¡± Ren Tianye said, and then he left the cave abode along with Luo Zhou, Zeng Min, Meng Bai, and others, flying towards the registration area of the Mission Hall.


    The Mission Hall was not far from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s cave abode; in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiaotian arrived at the Mission Hall.


    Even though it was early in the morning, the Mission Hall was already full of many disciples.


    No matter which academy or sect, the Mission Hall is always the busiest ce.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arrival caused quite a stir in the Mission Hall.


    ¡°It¡¯s Divine Yang of Emperor Sanqian!¡±


    ¡°What is he doing at the Mission Hall!¡±


    The disciples in the Mission Hall couldn¡¯t help but watch Yang Xiaotian with fervent eyes.


    Yang Xiaotian ignored everyone and headed to the registration area for the disciples¡¯petition.


    ¡°Is Divine Yang really going to register for this edition of the disciples¡¯petition?!¡± The disciples were astonished upon seeing this.


    Under the watchful eyes of the other disciples, Yang Xiaotian reached the registration area, signed up, and after receiving his contestant identity que, was about to leave.


    However, just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, Ren Tianye, Luo Zhou, Zeng Min, Meng Bai, and Yao Ruihong happened to arrive at the Mission Hall.


    ¡°`


    Several people unexpectedly encountered each other at the entrance of the Mission Hall.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Senior Brother!¡±


    ¡°Sister Zeng Min!¡±


    Ren Tianye and four others suddenly appeared, causing a stir among the disciples at the Mission Hall.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Meng Bai was taken aback to encounter Yang Xiaotian here, his eyes suddenly narrowed.


    n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yang Xiaotian!


    Upon hearing that the young man in front of them was Yang Xiaotian, Ren Tianye, Zeng Min, and the others were startled and swiftly turned to look at Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian locked eyes with Ren Tianye and his group, his gaze settling on Ren Tianye.


    Ren Tianye, the Senior Brother of all the disciples in the Azure God Mansion, known as the Son of Azure God! He is also the chief among the six prodigies of Azure God!


    His talent is so formidable that it shakes the Azure God Continent.


    Somepare Ren Tianye to the former Master of Celestial Gods.


    Some even believe that Ren Tianye¡¯s talent surpasses that of the Master of Celestial Gods.


    The Master of Celestial Gods was the most stunningly powerful figure on the Azure God Continent one hundred thousand years ago, overpowering the likes of the Undying Evil Venerable, the Corpse Demon, and the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God.


    Ren Tianye being stronger than the Master of Celestial Gods of that era shows how astonishing his talent is.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± Ren Tianye watched Yang Xiaotian and spoke slowly.


    ¡°Ren Tianye!¡± Yang Xiaotian also responded.


    Hearing Yang Xiaotian addressing Ren Tianye by his name, many disciples at the scene clicked their tongues. In the Azure God Mansion, Ren Tianye¡¯s name was a taboo, and everyone dared only call him Senior Brother.


    Ren Tianye¡¯s expression turned icy when he heard Yang Xiaotian call him by his name.


    Suddenly, Meng Bai spoke up, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, I heard that you have a two hundred thousand year Soul Ring, is that right?¡±


    Many disciples in the great hall were unaware of this fact, and upon hearing it, they all looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment.


    ¡°So what if it is, and what if it isn¡¯t?¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    ¡°If it is true, I would like to witness the power of a two hundred thousand year Soul Ring for myself!¡± Meng Bai¡¯s whole body surged with Sword Qi, the aura of ughter locking onto Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°You will see it very soon,¡± Yang Xiaotian remarked, ncing at Meng Bai before soaring into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the horizon.


    Yao Ruihong watched Yang Xiaotian¡¯s retreating figure and sneered, ¡°I think this kid is just cowardly, afraid to ept Meng Bai¡¯s challenge.¡±


    Afterward, Ren Tianye and the others entered the Inner Hall, where they found many disciples discussing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s enrollment in the current Disciple Grand Competition.


    It was then that Ren Tianye and hispanions realized what Yang Xiaotian meant by hisst statement, ¡°You will see it very soon.¡±


    ¡°An Emperor Realm first-level actually dares to enroll in this Disciple Grand Competition!¡± Yao Ruihong¡¯s eyes shed with bloodthirsty intent, ¡°Heh, he really thinks he can snatch the first ce in the Academy Competition just like the Azure God Academy did.¡±


    Ren Tianye clenched his fists tightly, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, you¡¯re mine when the timees!¡± An aura like that of a deste ancient beast permeated heaven and earth.


    Meanwhile, after leaving, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t return to his cave dwelling but went to visit the Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang.


    He wanted to consult the Azure God Manuscript that recorded the whereabouts of the Star God Tree, but this required Zeng Yongjiang¡¯s permission.


    When Zeng Yongjiang found out that Yang Xiaotian wanted to consult the Azure God Manuscript, he couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly. This young fellow really dared to think of anything, wishing to see the Azure God Manuscript as soon as he joined the Azure God Mansion.


    The Azure God Manuscript was in the Azure God Pce, and only he and a few ancient ancestors had the ess to enter the pce.


    Had anyone else made such a request, he would have pped them long ago.


    Zeng Yongjiang didn¡¯t hide the truth from Yang Xiaotian, saying candidly, ¡°Xiaotian, to be honest, if you want to enter the Azure God Pce and consult the Azure God Manuscript, you¡¯ll need Lord Azure Bear¡¯s approval. However, Lord Azure Bear has been injured and in seclusion for many days, and I fear he won¡¯t being out anytime soon.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian frowned.


    Of course, he knew why Azure Bear was injured. If he hadn¡¯t stepped in at the Death Sword Tomb, Azure Bear might have long been dead by now.

 Chapter 467: 467: The Abyssal Master Returns to Heaven and Earth

    Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Abyssal Master Returns to Heaven and Earth


    The next day, before dawn had even broken, Yang Xiaotian flew away from his cave dwelling.


    As soon as Yang Xiaotian left the Azure God Mansion, disciples reported to Ren Tianye, Jiang Min, and Meng Bai that Yang Xiaotian had left the mansion.


    ¡°The kid has finally left the Azure God Mansion,¡± Meng Bai sneered.


    He had been looking for a chance to test the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring.


    To see just how old Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring was.


    Ren Tianye gave Meng Bai a look and said, ¡°When you make your moveter, don¡¯t go for the kill, otherwise, if the Mansion Master investigates, we¡¯ll both have trouble exining ourselves.¡±


    He was afraid that Meng Bai would go too far and end up killing Yang Xiaotian.


    After all, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s status was now different. If Yang Xiaotian died and Zeng Yongjiang and Xi Long were enraged, no one would get away with it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m aware of that. He won¡¯t die. At most, I¡¯ll have him lying in bed for a couple of months.¡± Meng Bai then got up and turned into a streak of Sword Qi, disappearing in front of Ren Tianye and the others.


    ¡°I wonder if Meng Bai can force Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul out,¡± Luo Zhou said as he watched Meng Bai vanish.<div>


    ¡°Although Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Eternal Divine Body is formidable, he still can¡¯t unleash its true power. Relying solely on the Eternal Divine Body, he definitely won¡¯t be able to withstand Junior Brother Meng. At that time, he will surely summon his Martial Soul,¡± Ren Tianye said.


    ¡°Let¡¯s quietly wait for good news from Junior Brother Meng.¡±


    ¡°Once Junior Brother Meng returns, we¡¯ll know what kind of Soul Ring Yang Xiaotian has.¡±


    So, shortly after Yang Xiaotian left the Azure God Mansion, Meng Bai also followed him out of the mansion.


    Meng Bai cultivated the ughter God Path, and his art of concealment was extremely profound. Many at the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm couldn¡¯t detect his presence.


    He followed behind Yang Xiaotian silently.


    After leaving the Azure God Mansion, Yang Xiaotian flew towards the wild and barren mountains and ridges.


    Once he was far enough from the mansion, Meng Bai could no longer hold back. He shed forth, intercepting Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, we meet again.¡± Meng Bai blocked Yang Xiaotian, a toothy grin spreading across his face, ¡°Where is Junior Brother Yang off to?¡±


    ¡°Where I go is no concern of Senior Brother Meng.¡± Yang Xiaotian looked at Meng Bai, who had appeared, without changing expression, ¡°What matter does Senior Brother Meng have with me?¡±


    ¡°What matter?¡± Meng Baiughed heartily, ¡°No matter at all. I¡¯m just curious, curious to know if Junior Brother Yang¡¯s Soul Ring is really that strong. Today I want to experience the power of your Soul Ring.¡±


    Hearing Meng Bai wanted to witness the power of his Soul Ring, Yang Xiaotian indifferently replied, ¡°Since you¡¯re so curious, make your move.¡±


    Meng Bai¡¯s eyes narrowed, and suddenly wisps of Sword Qi burst forth from his body.


    The Sword Qi around his body was strange, like a million blooms flowering at once, blossoming instantly.


    ¡°Hundred Flowers Sword Path!¡± eximed Yang Xiaotian.


    Before joining the Azure God Mansion, Meng Bai was the Direct Disciple of the strongest elder of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.


    Immediately thereafter, a killing aura condensed around Meng Bai, and the phantom of a ughter God emerged behind him.


    His heart radiated an astonishing sword light.


    This was not the Sword Heart, but the Ancient ughter God Heart.<div>


    Meng Bai had once entered a perilous ce and acquired the inheritance of the Ancient ughter God, cultivating the ughter God Heart.


    Once the ughter God Heart was sessfully cultivated,bined with the ughter God Sword Path, it was unstoppable.


    His eyes fierce, he brandished two swords at the same time.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Path and the ughter God Sword Path were pushed to their limits.<div>


    The roaring True Yuan of ate-stage Emperor Realm pinnacle surged out.


    Suddenly, ten thousand sword blossoms flew out, covering all the space around Yang Xiaotian.


    Among the myriad sword blossoms, the ughter God Sword Qi wove through, unpredictable and insidious, impossible to guard againstpletely.


    This one sword was Meng Bai¡¯s full-strength strike.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, summon your Soul Ring now!¡± After striking, Meng Bai bellowed loudly.


    ¡°As you wish,¡± Yang Xiaotian said coldly.


    Just as myriad sword flowers and ughter God Sword Qi were about to strike Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a dark radiance trembled throughout his body.


    A dragon¡¯s roar resounded through the Heaven and Earth for thousands of miles.


    The sound of the dragon¡¯s roar caused the space to quake with unease.


    Apanied by the dragon¡¯s roar, a Dark Giant Dragon of immense size flew out from within Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.


    As the Dark Giant Dragon emerged, the sky and earth darkened.


    Boundless dark power surged, sweeping across countless miles.


    An aura of Supreme Majesty enveloped the Heaven and Earth.<div>


    The Myriad Swords that had bombarded toward Yang Xiaotian were all blown apart by the dark power.


    Even the ughter God Sword Qi was instantaneously and violently dispersed.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The terrifying power and boundless divine might left Meng Bai feeling like a fish out of water, almost suffocating.


    In shock, he stared at the Dark Giant Dragon before him, which was even greater than the Ancient Divine Mountain.


    What kind of Long n Martial Soul was this?


    Even the Nine-wed Golden Dragon Martial Spirit of the Supreme pinnacle could not possibly possess such terrifying power and majestic presence.


    ¡°It¡¯s, it¡¯s the Supreme King!¡± he said tremblingly.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul was actually the Supreme King!


    Just then, suddenly, a golden-red light ring appeared around the ck Dragon Martial Spirit¡¯s body.


    When the light ring appeared, Heaven and Earth shook violently, causing surrounding mountains to copse piece by piece.


    The ground cracked open, revealing terrifying chasms.


    It was as if a fearsome demon was about to be born.


    Meng Bai turned pale with horror. What kind of Soul Ring was this? Merely its appearance caused Heaven and Earth to crumble because they could not bear its power.<div>


    Upon closer inspection, he saw within the Soul Ring, a figure so colossal it was indescribable, appearing in and out of view. This figure, shrouded in darkness, was so vast that Heaven and Earth seemed incapable of containing its immense form.


    What kind of Soul Beast was this, possessing a golden-red color!


    Two hundred thousand years?


    No, definitely not two hundred thousand years!


    He had once apanied his master to witness a two hundred thousand-year Soul Beast, and even they were not as terrifying.


    A two hundred thousand-year Soul Ring should be red, not golden-red.


    Meng Bai discovered to his horror that under the shroud of this terrifying Soul Ring¡¯s power, he was unable to move a muscle!


    How could this be!


    He frantically stimted his Dantian, all acupoints, and the True Yuan of the Divine Sea, attempting to break free from the surrounding confinement, but even with all his strength, he could not shatter the terrifying restraining force.


    This was the fear associated with a million-year Soul Ring.


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength continued to rise, the power of the million-year Soul Ring grew stronger. Even a trace of the Abyssal Master¡¯s power shrouded him, definitely beyond Meng Bai¡¯s capacity to break free.


    ¡°What kind of Soul Beast is this?¡± Meng Bai screamed in terror when he realized that even with all his strength, he could not break the entrapment around him.


    Right at the moment of Meng Bai¡¯s terrified scream, Yang Xiaotian suddenlyunched a punch, and the million-year Soul Ring¡¯s light trembled tremendously, as the figure of the Abyssal Master manifested again between Heaven and Earth.<div>


    The power of the million-year Soul Beast roared and surged out from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fist.


    Seeing the figure of the Abyssal Master, a thought shed through Meng Bai¡¯s mind, and he nearly died of fright, his eyes filled with boundless fear: ¡°The Abyssal Master! This is the Abyssal Master!¡±


    He finally understood what Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring was. He had seen detailed records of the Abyssal Master in the Divine Demon ssics.


    The Soul Beast before him matched the Abyssal Master described in the Divine Tome exactly.

 Chapter 468: 468: When the Martial Soul is Released, Who Can Compete?

    Chapter 468: Chapter 468: When the Martial Soul is Released, Who Can Compete?


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring was not a mere 110,000 years, nor 200,000 years, but 300,000 years!


    But rather, it was one million years!


    No, it was beyond one million years, approaching two million years of the Abyssal Master!


    Meng Bai had beenpletely engulfed by fear.


    He obtained the inheritance of the ughter God, cultivated the ughter God Path, and possessed the ughter God Heart, never knowing what fear was.


    But at this moment, even his ughter God Heart waspletely engulfed by fear.


    Perhaps it was because he was too terrified, Meng Bai, as if mad, screamed hysterically, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me!¡±


    In thest moment, Yang Xiaotian managed to restrain most of his strength, but even so, Meng Bai was still sted high into the air, not knowing how many mountain peaks he had smashed through.


    Atst, he crashed at the ends of the heavens.


    When Yang Xiaotian arrived at his side, he saw that Meng Bai¡¯s body was a bloody blur, the ughter God Heart in his chest devoid of any killing aura. Meng Bai¡¯s breath was weak, lying there, still muttering like a madman, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me!¡±<div>


    ¡°The kid has been scared stupid!¡± Master Ding eximed.


    A person, when terrified to the extreme, can be scared into stupidity.


    Even martial artists are no exception.


    Of course, although the souls of martial artists are resilient, they can still be scared into stupidity.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected that summoning the Soul Ring of the Abyssal Master would directly scare the opponent stupid.


    However, since Master Ding said he had been scared stupid, it must be the case.


    At this time, a series of whooshing sounds approached.


    Clearly, the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s million-year Soul Ring had rmed the disciples of Azure God Mansion.


    Yang Xiaotian did not hesitate and soared away into the sky.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian left, not long after, groups of Azure God Mansion disciples flew over.


    Among them were quite a few Core Disciples.


    Many Core Disciples of Azure God Mansion arrived at the scene, only to see thend devastated beyond recognition and Meng Bai, the Son of ughter, lying there, nowpletely stupid, which left them all in shock and amazement.


    Under the treatment of the many disciples of Azure God Mansion, atst, Meng Bai¡¯s injuries recovered somewhat.


    Looking at the disciples of Azure God Mansion, he curled up, still wearing a face full of terror, and kept shouting, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me!¡±


    Besides this sentence, he sometimes shouted, ¡°When the Martial Soul appears, who dares to contend!¡±


    Seeing the state of Meng Bai, the Son of ughter, all the disciples of Azure God Mansion exchanged looks of bewilderment.


    Ren Tianye, Zeng Min, Luo Zhou, and Yao Ruihong, although they were not at the scene, soon learned of Meng Bai¡¯s condition.


    ¡°What? Scared stupid?!¡± Upon learning that Meng Bai had been scared stupid, Ren Tianye and the others were greatly surprised, disbelieving.


    The Son of ughter, one of the prestigious Six of the Azure God, scared stupid? This was simply absurd.<div>


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s been scared stupid,¡± the reporting Disciple replied with a strange expression, saying, ¡°ording to the disciples at the scene, Brother Meng Bai kept shouting not to kill him.¡±


    ¡°Right, and sometimes he said something like ¡®When the Martial Soul appears, who dares to contend!''¡±


    When the Martial Soul appears, who dares to contend!


    The hearts of Ren Tianye, Zeng Min, and the others were greatly shaken.<div>


    They knew what Meng Bai was up to; he had gone out this time to try the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Ring.


    ¡°All right, you can go out now,¡± Ren Tianye told the Disciple.


    The Disciple answered affirmatively and withdrew.


    ¡°Could it be that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Ring are so terrifying that Meng Bai was scared stupid?¡± Luo Zhou was incredulously astonished.


    Zeng Min shook her head, ¡°We didn¡¯t witness it with our own eyes, so nobody knows what actually happened. Perhaps it wasn¡¯t Yang Xiaotian who made a move. It might be some supreme expert by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side who used some soul-shocking technique that caused Meng Bai to be like this.¡±


    She did not believe that it was Yang Xiaotian who scared Meng Bai into this state.


    Yang Xiaotian, a mere first level of the Emperor Realm, how could he have frightened Meng Bai to such an extent?


    Ren Tianye didn¡¯t believe it either.


    After leaving the scene, Yang Xiaotian immediately drove the Abyssal Spaceship at high speed toward the Buddha Pagoda Empire.


    The journey was uneventful.


    Soon, two days had passed.


    After absorbing the waste remnants of Divine Medicine, the Life God Fruit finally bore four Life God Fruits.


    Looking at the tender Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately consumed one to cultivate.<div>


    After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s speed in refining the Life God Fruit had greatly increased; whereas it previously took twenty days to refine one during his time in the Venerable Realm, now it hardly took ten days to refine one.


    Therefore, in about a month, Yang Xiaotain had fully refined all four Life God Fruits.


    After refining the four Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s qi and blood surged to an astonishing degree, yet his realm had only barely broken through to the mid-second level of the Emperor Realm.


    Seeing that he had only broken through to the mid-second level of the Emperor Realm after consuming four Life God Fruits, Yang Xiaotian was truly at a loss for words.


    His foundation was too solid, the higher his realm, the more resources he would need for further breakthroughs.


    Where would he get so many resources in the future?


    This time, the waste remnants of Divine Medicine were also collected for him by the Azure God Mansion with great effort.


    It would be difficult to collect so many waste remnants of Divine Medicine again next time.


    Although the fourth pce of the Azure God Cave Mansion does contain the Elixir of Azure God, it could only be opened once he has condensed the fourteen strongest Heavenly Fate forces.


    However, condensing fifteen nineyer Heavenly Fate forces would allow him to cultivate a Heavenly Fate Divine Body. If he condenses fifteen Primordial Heaven Destiny forces, what should the Divine Body he cultivates be called?


    Primordial Heaven Destiny Divine Body?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it is the Primordial Heaven Destiny Divine Body,¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice rang out.


    Heavenly Fate Divine Bodies are already rare in this world.<div>


    Primordial Heaven Destiny Divine Bodies are even more so.


    Just the thought of it excited Master Ding¡¯s pure heart.


    ¡°Primordial Heaven Destiny Divine Body,¡± Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.


    An Eternal Divine Body and if he added a Primordial Heaven Destiny Divine Body, how strong would his physical body be?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Abnormal plus abnormal equals invincibly abnormal.


    Just thinking about the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, Yang Xiaotian felt somewhat helpless.


    Now, having broken through to the mid-second level of the Emperor Realm, his Divine Sea True Essence had already surpassed twenty thousand miles. With just five more Heavenly Fate Divine Stones to solidify his Divine Sea World, he would be able to bear the second Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    Therefore, he had to hurry in searching for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    Meanwhile, the spaceship had already entered the Buddha Pagoda Empire.


    As he neared the Yin Wind Sect, the number of martial artists gradually increased, so Yang Xiaotian stored the spaceship and traveled by flight. As dusk fell, he found a dpidated and uninhabited small mountain vige to rest for the night before continuing on his journey the next day.


    Suddenly, a campfire was lit.


    Yang Xiaotian took out the wine brewed by his father and began to drink.


    Now, he had grown ustomed to drinking his father¡¯s brew.<div>


    As Yang Xiaotian contemted his visit to the Yin Wind Sect tomorrow, suddenly, in the distance, a figure staggered toward this direction, then fell from the sky,nding not far away.


    Curious, Yang Xiaotian approached to investigate and discovered the unconscious man had ckened lips and his body was ice-cold; he had been poisoned with cold ice poison, and it was very strong. Without help, death was certain.


    After some thought, Yang Xiaotian ced a single palm on the man¡¯s back, and the power of Earth me circted, continuously flowing into the man¡¯s body, driving out the cold ice poison bit by bit.


    Then, he took out a Detoxification Pill and had the man swallow it.


    Soon, the man came to.

    Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Yin Wind Sect and Poison Dragon Pce


    The man opened his eyes and saw a boy around fifteen or sixteen, which surprised him.


    ¡°Little brother, was it you who rescued me?¡± he asked, looking around in confusion.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    ¡°I am Chi Hui of the Yin Wind Sect, thank you, young friend, for your help,¡± the man said with a sped fist and a grateful face.


    ¡°You¡¯re from the Yin Wind Sect?¡± Yang Xiaotian startled.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Chi Hui smiled, ¡°May I ask how to address the young brother?¡±


    ¡°Azure God Mansion, Yang Xiaotian,¡± Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and decided to use his real name, after all, he would visit the Yin Wind Sect tomorrow.


    Upon hearing that the youth before him was Yang Xiaotian from the Azure God Mansion, Chi Hui was greatly shocked and quickly got up, ¡°You, you are Divine Yang from Emperor Sanqian!¡±


    Seeing the other¡¯s reaction, Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°I am Yang Xiaotian.¡±


    It seems that the name of Divine Yang from Emperor Sanqian had already spread; even the disciples from Buddha Pagoda Empire¡¯s Yin Wind Sect were aware of it.<div>


    Chi Hui, knowing that the youth before him was Divine Yang from Emperor Sanqian, was very excited, so much so that he appeared somewhat beside himself with emotion, ¡°I never imagined I would meet Divine Yang Senior here!¡±


    ¡°No, Divine Yang Young Master, my apologies!¡±


    In his excitement, he spoke somewhat incoherently.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s guess was right, his name as Divine Yang from Emperor Sanqian had already spread across the Azure God Continent.


    Many disciples from the Supreme Sects on the Azure God Continent worshipped him to a fervent and even blind degree.


    Now, many disciples from Supreme Sects and families longed to cross mountains and rivers to visit the Azure God Mansion, just for a chance to see Yang Xiaotian.


    Seeing the other party so excited that he was speaking incoherently, Yang Xiaotian smiled, ¡°Are you going back to the Yin Wind Sect? I will be visiting your Yin Wind Sect tomorrow.¡±


    When Chi Hui heard that Yang Xiaotian was going to their Yin Wind Sect tomorrow, he became even more excited and happy, ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m also returning to the Yin Wind Sect.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian asked him to sit down, then took out a sk of wine and handed it over to him.


    Chi Hui quickly wiped his hands on his clothes before respectfully and excitedly epting it, not forgetting to bow and thank Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°No need to be so formal,¡± said Yang Xiaotian with a smile, and then they chatted idly.


    Although Yang Xiaotian told him not to be formal, the man was still very reserved and continued to be excited. He looked at Yang Xiaotian with eyes full of stars.


    After a long chat, the two gradually got to know each other.


    ¡°May I know what brings Divine Yang Young Master to our Yin Wind Sect?¡± Chi Hui asked carefully and respectfully.


    ¡°I have some business, looking for your Ancestor Deng Feng,¡± Yang Xiaotian did not conceal.


    At the moment, the strongest elder of the Yin Wind Sect was Deng Feng, who had also lived the longest; perhaps he knew something about the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Chi Hui was stunned, ¡°Divine Yang Young Master is looking for our Sect Ancestor?¡± He hesitated, ¡°Divine Yang Young Master might not be aware, but ever since our Sect Ancestor returned from the Eternal Heavenly Tomb two years ago, he has been in seclusion without exception.¡±


    ¡°Even many Sect Ancestors from other sects havee and could not meet him.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised.<div>


    He had been in seclusion sinceing back from the Eternal Heavenly Tomb?


    It made Yang Xiaotian recall encountering experts from the Yin Wind Sect during his first visit to the Eternal Heavenly Tomb two years ago.


    So, could it be that Deng Feng had been in seclusion ever since then?


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t pursue the matter further but changed the topic, asking about the cold poison in the other¡¯s body.<div>


    When Yang Xiaotian inquired about the cold poison, Chi Hui said, ¡°It was the people from the Poison Dragon Pce! The day before yesterday, I went to Wuding Valley to look for medicinal herbs and encountered disciples from the Poison Dragon Pce!¡±


    ¡°The disciples from the Poison Dragon Pce are despicable and shameless. They attacked me from behind, otherwise, how could Zhou Mao and his three people be a match for me!¡±


    He was quite indignant when speaking of the event.


    The Poison Dragon Pce and the Yin Wind Sect were the two strongest Supreme Sects of the Buddha Pagoda Empire, but the two factions bore generational hatred, and their disciples often battled to the death.


    Chi Hui hesitated a moment then said, ¡°I heard that the Dark Dragon Ancestor from the Poison Dragon Pce has returned from the Ancient Demon Battlefield, and recently the disciples of the Poison Dragon Pce have been rather rampant.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian was shocked, ¡°The Dark Dragon!¡±


    Over a million years, the Azure God Continent has seen many dazzling figures for all time.


    The Lord of All Gods was one of them.


    The Dark Dragon was definitely one of them.


    The Dark Dragon, before the time of the Lord of All Gods, was an invincible powerhouse from over a hundred thousand years ago, already the top master of the Buddha Pagoda Empire back then.


    However, the Dark Dragonter entered the Ancient Demon Battlefield and there was no news of him since.


    It was unexpected that he was still alive and had now returned from the Ancient Demon Battlefield.


    Chi Hui, with a worried face, said, ¡°I heard it from my master that the Dark Dragon returned from the Ancient Demon Battlefield the day before yesterday.¡±<div>


    The return of the Dark Dragon was definitely not good news for the Yin Wind Sect.


    If the Dark Dragon were to strike against the Yin Wind Sect, there was now absolutely no one within the sect who could withstand his might, not even their Ancestor Deng Feng.


    After that, Chi Hui shared a lot of history and past events rted to the Yin Wind Sect and the Poison Dragon Pce with Yang Xiaotian.


    Only then did Xiaotian learn that Chi Hui¡¯s master was the current Sect Hierarch of the Yin Wind Sect.


    As the two were talking, suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air approached from afar, and they saw four figuresnding in front of them.


    Seeing the neers, Chi Hui angrily eximed, ¡°Zhou Mao!¡±


    The neers were none other than the Poison Dragon Pce disciples Zhou Mao and hisrades who had ambushed him.


    However, there were only three of them in Wuding Valley, and now there was an additional middle-aged man.


    Seeing the middle-aged man, Chi Hui¡¯s face changed, because this individual was Wu Jin, the current chief disciple of the Poison Dragon Pce.


    ¡°Hehe, Chi Hui, I didn¡¯t expect you to escape so quickly, but today, you will not be able to fly away even with wings!¡± Zhou Mao looked at Chi Hui and chuckled sinisterly after arriving.


    ¡°Has this boy already expelled the Frost Chill Poison?¡± One of the Poison Dragon Pce disciples, seeing Chi Hui¡¯s condition, was puzzled and looked towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°Was it this boy who helped you get rid of the Frost Chill Poison?¡±


    Wu Jin nced at Yang Xiaotian, seeing that he was just a teenager about fifteen or sixteen years old, he didn¡¯t take it to heart and said to the three disciples Zhou Mao, ¡°The three of you go deal with this teenager.¡±


    ¡°I will deal with Chi Hui!¡±<div>


    Upon saying that, he violently shook his long sword in hand and thrust it towards Chi Hui.


    Zhou Mao and hisrades attacked Yang Xiaotian.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Wu Jin was an Emperor Realm Seventh Layer, while Zhou Mao and his twopatriots were not weak either, being in the Emperor Realm First Layer.


    Seeing Zhou Mao and hispatriots attacking, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t even look, he yelled, ¡°Scram!¡±


    Scram!


    Suddenly, his voice exploded like countless divine thunders.


    Not only Zhou Mao and his group but even Wu Jin were sted away at the same time.


    The four of them were hit as if by a devastating blow, flying through ancient towering trees before crashing to the ground in the distance, bringing up dust and rocks all around.


    Theyy there, their armorpletely shattered, bleeding from every orifice, their faces distorted with terror, already dead.


    Even though Chi Hui had heard of Xiaotian¡¯s various exploits and knew of Xiaotian¡¯s terrifyingbat power, he was still utterly shocked to see Xiaotian kill Wu Jin and the others with a single shout.


    After the shock, Chi Hui¡¯s admiration for Yang Xiaotian grew even more fervent.


    Afterward, Chi Hui dealt with the bodies of Wu Jin and his men and then said, ¡°Divine Yang Young Master, it is not advisable to remain here for long. Shall we set off now?¡±


    ¡°Indeed.¡± Yang Xiaotian nodded.<div>


    So, the two of them didn¡¯t linger and hurried toward the Yin Wind Sect.


    By dawn, they had finally arrived at the Yin Wind Sect.


    Meanwhile, the Poison Dragon Pce also received news that Wu Jin and Zhou Mao, along with their fourpanions, had gone missing.


    If they were just ordinary disciples, it might have been no great matter, but Wu Jin and Zhou Mao¡¯s group were not ordinary disciples¡ªWu Jin was especially important as the chief disciple of the Poison Dragon Pce and the direct disciple of the Pce Master.

 Chapter 471: 471: Remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect

    Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect


    Take me to pay respects to Divine Yang Young Master!


    Seeing the tremendous excitement of the Ancient Ancestor, Yang Xi couldn¡¯t help but be astonished.


    Even if Xiaotian were to eventually take charge of the Azure God Mansion, there was no need for their Ancient Ancestor to be this agitated.


    And what their Ancient Ancestor said was to pay respects!


    Pay respects!


    Not just to meet.


    With the status of their Ancient Ancestor, even if the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion personally came, there would be no need to pay respects.


    ¡°Ancient Ancestor, you want to go pay respects to Divine Yang Young Master?¡± Yang Xi couldn¡¯t help but express his perplexity.


    However, no sooner had he spoken than he saw Deng Feng take to the skies, rushing towards the grand hall of the Yin Wind Sect.


    Yang Xi dared not say another word, hurriedly following after him.


    ¡°Go, quickly notify Tan Jie and the others!¡± Deng Feng suddenlymanded. He rattled off more than a dozen names, all of whom were the most powerful Ancient Ancestors of the Yin Wind Sect.


    They were also the Ancient Ancestors who had entered the Eternal Heavenly Tomb with him two years ago.


    ¡°Notify all of them?¡± Yang Xi was taken aback.


    ¡°Notify all of them, quickly!¡± Deng Feng ordered sternly, ¡°Tell all of them toe to the grand hall with the utmost haste to pay respects to Divine Yang Young Master with me!¡±


    Yang Xi was dumbfounded.


    It was not enough for Ancestor Deng Feng alone to pay respects to Divine Yang; he actually wanted to notify all the most powerful Ancient Ancestors of the Yin Wind Sect to do the same?


    Nevertheless, Yang Xi dared not disobey Deng Feng¡¯smand and quickly set out to inform Tan Jie and the many Ancient Ancestors.


    To Deng Feng¡¯s astonishment, when he mentioned that Xiaotian and Ancestor Deng Feng had met once in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb and that he was an old acquaintance from the Heavenly Dragon Hall, all the Ancient Ancestors, just like Ancestor Deng Feng, were greatly excited and all rushed to the grand hall.


    Seeing this, Yang Xi was filled with amazement and confusion.


    He was momentarily puzzled as to what was happening.


    Soon, Deng Feng and the others had all arrived at the grand hall.


    Inside the grand hall, Chi Hui, Yang Qing, and numerous other Ancient Ancestors were apanying Xiaotian in conversation when they suddenly saw Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and a dozen others surge into the room with excited expressions, which took them by surprise.


    Divine Yang had said that only their Ancient Ancestor was to be met with. Howe Tan Jie and all these other respected Ancient Ancestors hade as well?


    As soon as Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others entered the grand hall, they saw Xiaotian sitting at the lower end of the throne.


    Upon seeing that familiar light blue figure, Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others were profoundly shaken.


    Although two years had passed, the light blue figure they had seen at the Heavenly Dragon Hall in front of the Eternal Heavenly Tomb two years ago was deeply etched in their minds.


    In these two years, the terrifying image of the Undying Death God being blown away and spitting blood frequently surfaced in their minds.


    In their minds, the image of that light blue figure and the colossal cauldron that seemed about to burst the heavens appeared asionally.


    And now, that haunting light blue figure was right before their eyes.


    Though two years had passed, they still recognized Xiaotian as the youth who was at the Heavenly Dragon Hall back then.


    Amidst their shock and with mixed emotions of excitement and awe, Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others approached Xiaotian and respectfully bowed deeply before prostrating themselves, ¡°Yin Wind Sect¡¯s Deng Feng, Tan Jie, pay respects to the Young Master!¡±


    Yang Xi, Chi Hui, Yang Qing, and all the Ancient Ancestors in the grand hall stood stunned, disbelievingly watching their Ancient Ancestors and the Ancient Ancestors.


    It really was a show of paying respects! A thousand horses galloped through Yang Xi¡¯s mind.


    As for Chi Hui, who had traveled with Xiaotian, his heart was filled with tumultuous waves.


    Xiaotian quickly stepped forward to help Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others up, ¡°I am just a junior, there is no need for the esteemed predecessors to show such great deference.¡±


    Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others, however, were overwhelmed by the honor.


    ¡°Of course, of course,¡± Deng Feng replied eagerly, his voice filled with excitement.


    Even the Undying Death God from a million years ago had to flee in haste before this young man, and so their act of paying respects seemed only proper to them.


    ¡°Please take a seat, elders,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Having heard this, Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others then carefully took their seats.


    ¡°I have some matters for which I would like to seek the elders¡¯ guidance,¡± Yang Xiaotian said, pausing momentarily as he looked toward Yang Xi and the others.


    Deng Feng understood the hint and signaled Yang Xi and the others to leave first.


    After Yang Xi and the others had left, Yang Xiaotian spoke, ¡°I will not hide it from the elders, I have obtained the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others were shocked, yet they also let out a sigh of relief. They had been worried all this time that the Eternal Heavenly Coffin might fall into the hands of the Undying Death God, and now that Yang Xiaotian had acquired it, it seemed like good news to them.


    ¡°However, though I have acquired the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, I do not know the method to refine it,¡± Yang Xiaotian continued.


    Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others finally understood why Yang Xiaotian wanted to see them.


    ¡°To be honest with Young Master, we also do not know the method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin,¡± Deng Feng pondered. ¡°Nevertheless, the coffin is the treasure that preserves the Netherworld Demon Sect¡¯s legacy. Perhaps the remnants of the sect will have a clue about the method of refinement.¡±


    ¡°The remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Tan Jie respectfully added, ¡°It¡¯s the remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect. For years, we¡¯ve been trying every possible way to enter the remnants and search for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.¡±


    ¡°However, the remnants have always been shrouded in a terrifying Netherworld Demon Qi, and we haven¡¯t been able to enter.¡±


    On hearing this, Yang Xiaotian became excited, ¡°Are you saying there are Heavenly Fate Divine Stones within the remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect?¡±


    Surprised by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s reaction, Deng Feng hurriedly replied, ¡°Indeed, we have gathered much information and confirmed that there are Heavenly Fate Divine Stones within the remnants.¡±


    ¡°But we cannot ascertain the amount.¡±


    ¡°Is Young Master also searching for Heavenly Fate Divine Stones?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile, ¡°I am in urgent need of some Heavenly Fate Divine Stones to solidify my Divine Sea World.¡±


    He hadn¡¯t expected the remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect to contain Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, thus this was a pleasant surprise.


    ¡°If Young Master intends to enter the remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect, it is best done next month,¡± Deng Feng suggested. ¡°We have investigated and found that during this month every year, the Netherworld Demon Qi of the sect is particrly violent.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, in this month, the prohibitive forces of the Netherworld Demon Sect¡¯s remnants are also the most terrifying.¡±


    ¡°After this month, the Netherworld Demon Qi and the restrictions will weaken significantly.¡±


    Next month? There are only twenty days left in this month.


    Yang Xiaotian estimated the time and realized that if he waited until next month, he might miss the Divine Mansion¡¯s grandpetition.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Therefore, Yang Xiaotian decided to venture into the remnants of the Netherworld Demon Sect tomorrow to investigate.


    ¡°However, aside from the Netherworld Demon Sect¡¯s remnants, the Poison Dragon Pce also has Heavenly Fate Divine Stones,¡± Tan Jie suddenly said.


    ¡°Oh, the Poison Dragon Pce has Heavenly Fate Divine Stones!¡± Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.


    ¡°Yes, the Poison Dragon Pce obtained five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones from the Destiny Temple a few years ago,¡± Tan Jie exined.


    Five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones!


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s spirits soared with excitement.


    He was short of exactly five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, and with five more, he would be able to carry a second Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    ¡°However, the Poison Dragon Pce treasures those five Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, and even if Young Master were to go there, it¡¯s unlikely they would relinquish them,¡± Tan Jie said.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Therefore, he nned to explore the Poison Dragon Pce under the cover of tonight.

 Chapter 472: 472: This Dark Dragon Must Not Be Left Alive

    Chapter 472: Chapter 472: This Dark Dragon Must Not Be Left Alive


    Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian did not linger in the Yin Wind Sect. After a conversation with Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and others, he departed from the ce.


    When Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, Deng Feng, Tan Jie, and the others did not dare to detain him. They could only respectfully escort him out of the Yin Wind Sect and took the liberty of inviting him to stay for a few more days on his next visit.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Yang Xiaotian responded with a smile to Deng Feng and the others¡¯ invitation, ¡°Next time I wille and disturb all of you seniors again.¡±


    Deng Feng hastily said, ¡°Not at all disturbing. If the young master is willing toe, the entirety of the Yin Wind Sect will surely wee you with open arms.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded and then, after exchanging salutations with the crowd by sping his fists, he tore through the sky and left.


    After leaving the Yin Wind Sect, Yang Xiaotian flew directly toward the Poison Dragon Pce.


    The Poison Dragon Pce was not close to the Yin Wind Sect. With his speed and if he hurriedly dashed at full strength, he should be able to reach the Poison Dragon Pce by nightfall.


    The journey was uneventful.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Poison Dragon Pce, the sky hadpletely darkened.


    Yang Xiaotian used his life-bound soul skill, Space Concealment, to slip past the disciples guarding the gates of the Poison Dragon Pce. Upon entering, he found the ce bustling with activity.


    Apparently, the return of the Dark Dragon was being celebrated by tens of thousands of Poison Dragon Pce disciples.


    Yang Xiaotian made his way through pce after pce within the Poison Dragon Pce, heading towards its treasury.


    With his current strength and realm, even a regr Saint Realm cultivator would be unable to detect his presence while he was using Space Concealment.


    However, to be cautious, Yang Xiaotian still had Master Ding shield his aura.


    As Yang Xiaotian was making his way towards the Poison Dragon Pce Treasury, he passed by a certain pce and spotted several familiar figures.


    These familiar figures were none other than Liang Xuan, the Corpse Demon Sect Master, the Evil Buddha Sect Master, and the Blood Demon Sect Master, whom he had encountered in the Sea of Stars.


    Yang Xiaotian had not expected Liang Xuan and the others to appear in the Poison Dragon Pce.


    At that moment, the Poison Dragon Pce Master weed Liang Xuan and hispany into the main hall and then closed the doors.


    A thought struck Yang Xiaotian, and he flew to the outside of the great hall, looked through the eaves, and observed the situation inside.


    Atop the throne in the great hall sat a tall elder robed in ck. This elder, who exuded both the aura of darkness and True Dragon Qi, had a presence so powerful it was palpable.


    Liang Xuan and his associates stood before the elder with great deference.


    The Poison Dragon Pce Master stood respectfully behind the elder.


    ¡°Elder Dark Dragon, our Ancient Ancestor has said that as long as your Poison Dragon Pce agrees to ally with us, he is willing to share the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture with you,¡± Liang Xuan said respectfully.


    The ck-robed elder was, indeed, Dark Dragon!


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes narrowed.


    ¡°Oh, the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture!¡± Dark Dragon¡¯s eyes, shrouded in shadow, fixed on Liang Xuan, seemingly tempted.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Given that he was a dragon of darkness, ordinary Long n Techniques naturally couldn¡¯t attract him.


    But the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture was different.


    It was one of the top Cultivation Techniques of the Ancient Dragon n.


    If he could acquire the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture, he could cultivate his dark dragon body to an even higher level.


    ¡°Indeed, as long as the elder agrees to our alliance, we are willing to offer the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture. Moreover, in the past few years, our Ancient Ancestor acquired a ck Dragon Divine Pill, which we could also provide to the elder,¡± continued Liang Xuan. ¡°In addition, the Undying Patriarch has said he might even impart the Undying God Canon to you.¡±


    ¡°What, the Undying God Canon!¡± The eyes of Dark Dragon turned aze with fervor.


    Although both the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture and the ck Dragon Divine Pill intrigued him, it was merely an interest. However, the mention of the Undying God Canon truly captivated him.


    In the face of the Undying God Canon, it was likely that no one could remain indifferent.


    With his power, if he were to cultivate the Undying God Canon, he would undoubtedly be unrivaled.


    ¡°Originally, the Undying Patriarch and our Ancient Ancestor were supposed toe in person, but they have been held up by some matters and will only be able toe after some time,¡± Liang Xuan exined. ¡°Upon learning of Elder Dark Dragon¡¯s return from the Ancient Demon Battlefield, they asked us three toe and present the elder with a few humble gifts.¡±


    As he said this, he took out three jade boxes and gave them to the Dark Dragon.


    When the Dark Dragon opened the three jade boxes, suddenly, Divine Light burst forth.


    Within each jade box, therey a rare divine object.


    One of them was none other than the Jade Dragon Ginseng!


    This was a rare divine medicine of the Long n.


    Although it didn¡¯tpare to the Life God Fruit or the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit, it wasn¡¯t far behind.


    Yang Xiaotian hadn¡¯t expected the Undying Death God to be willing to pay such a price to curry favor with the Dark Dragon and the Poison Dragon Pce.


    After stowing away the jade boxes, the Dark Dragon, now looking at the three people led by Liang Xuan with more approval, said, ¡°I¡¯ll ept these. When the Undying Lord and your ancient ancestore over next time, we can discuss further.¡±


    ¡°Tell your ancient ancestor that next time, I want to see the Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture, the ck Dragon Divine Pill, and the Undying God Canon!¡±


    Liang Xuan felt a surge of relief in his heart when he saw that the Dark Dragon had epted the items, knowing the Dark Dragon was tempted.


    ¡°Very well, we will report back to the Undying Lord and our ancient ancestor,¡± Liang Xuan replied respectfully. After speaking, the three people bowed to the Dark Dragon and left.


    Once Liang Xuan and hispanions had left, the Pce Master of the Poison Dragon Pce said to the Dark Dragon, ¡°Ancient Ancestor, are we truly going to ally with the Undying Death God?¡±


    The Dark Dragon pondered and said, ¡°The Lord of Azure God has been dead for many years, and the Azure Bear alone cannot safeguard the Azure God Continent. It¡¯s said that the Ancient Heart Demon has also resurrected. If the Ancient Heart Demon and the Undying Death God join forces, the Azure God Mansion will surely fall!¡±


    ¡°Given the circumstances, allying with the Undying Death God might not be a bad thing.¡±


    The key point was that the Undying Death God had promised him the Undying God Canon.


    Speaking of which, he added, ¡°Prepare yourself, we will attack the Yin Wind Sect tomorrow!¡± He then instructed the Pce Master of the Poison Dragon Pce to summon all the ancient ancestors to discuss the attack on the Yin Wind Sect the following day.


    Yang Xiaotian withdrew silently and continued his flight toward the treasury of the Poison Dragon Pce.


    He hadn¡¯t expected to encounter such an affair on his visit to the Poison Dragon Pce this evening.


    However, now that the Dark Dragon had decided to ally with the Undying Death God, this Dark Dragon couldn¡¯t be left alive!


    Of course, he wasn¡¯t in a rush to take action; first, he had to find the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    Following the information provided by Deng Feng, he quickly located the Treasury of the Poison Dragon Pce.


    Standing in front of the massive gates of the Poison Dragon Pce Treasury, Yang Xiaotian repeated his earlier technique, cing both palms on the gate and activating the power of the Eternal Divine Body.


    Immediately, the Power of Time corroded the gate, creating arge hole, and Yang Xiaotian entered the Poison Dragon Pce Treasury.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian had already seen the treasury of the Nether Sect Ghost Cave, he was still amazed by the sight before him; the Poison Dragon Pce Treasury was evenrger!


    The treasures it contained were even more astonishing!


    The seemingly endless mountains of Spirit Stone and peaks of Spiritual Medicine dazzled him.


    Yang Xiaotian unleashed his Soul Power, sensing the power of the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    Indeed, in the deepest part of the treasury, he felt the power of the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian flew toward the deepest part of the treasury.


    Soon, Yang Xiaotian found the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    But there were only four.


    Not the five that Tan Jie had mentioned.


    Yang Xiaotian was perplexed. Had one of them already been used by the Poison Dragon Pce?


    He took all four Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, and after searching around some more, still couldn¡¯t find the fifth stone.


    Having no other option, Yang Xiaotian decided to take other things instead.

 Chapter 473: 473: You Think You Are the Lord of Azure God?!

    Chapter 473: Chapter 473: You Think You Are the Lord of Azure God?!


    The Poison Dragon Pce¡¯s treasures were simply too plentiful, and Yang Xiaotian moved them with great delight.


    Unfortunately, no Divine Level Elixirs were to be found.


    During this task, Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t forget to have Master Ding help out.


    Master Ding too sucked in treasures with equal delight.


    As one of the tworgest sects within the Buddha Pagoda Empire, with a heritage of a million years, the treasury of the Poison Dragon Pce held far more than the single Ghost Cave treasury of the Nether Sect¡ªafter all, the Nether Sect Ghost Cave was just one of its branches.


    Just the top-notch Spirit Stones alone in the Poison Dragon Pce treasury numbered over a hundred thousand! Many times more than the top-notch Spirit Stones in the Nether Sect Ghost Cave.


    In these days, Yang Xiaotian had been using top-notch Spirit Stones to power the Abyssal Spaceship, and they were depleting fast. He had been worried about running out of them, but now, he had acquired another hundred thousand or so top-notch Spirit Stones.


    The main treasury of the Nether Sect should hold even more astonishing treasures.


    In the future, he would have to find the Nether Sect headquarters and, when the time came to move their treasury, Yan Ping would certainly burst with anger.


    Thanks to the efforts of Yang Xiaotian and Master Ding, the vast treasury of the Poison Dragon Pce was finally emptied.


    Only then did Yang Xiaotian cloak himself and return the way he came.


    Upon returning to the earlier pce, he saw that the Dark Dragon, the Pce Master of the Poison Dragon Pce, and a host of Ancient Ancestors were still discussing their attack on the Yin Wind Sect for the next day.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Yin Wind Sect possesses an Ancient Divine Artifact from the Netherworld Demon Sect of the past. If we destroy the Yin Wind Sect and obtain that Ancient Divine Artifact, our Poison Dragon Pce¡¯s strength is sure to increase dramatically!¡± an Ancient Ancestor said with joyfulughter.


    ¡°The Yin Wind Sect also has the treasure map of the Netherworld Demon Sect¡¯s treasury. If we find the treasure of the Netherworld Demon Sect, our Poison Dragon Pce will have endless heavenly and earthly treasures!¡± another Ancient Ancestor said with augh.


    The Ancient Ancestors of the Poison Dragon Pce were all immersed in the joy of acquiring countless treasures after annihting the Yin Wind Sect the next day.


    The thought of that Ancient Divine Artifact of the Yin Wind Sect excited the Dark Dragon, his eyes gleaming.


    He had been coveting this Ancient Divine Artifact belonging to the Yin Wind Sect for many years and was determined to obtain it the next day!


    Yang Xiaotian watched the strong figures of the Poison Dragon Pceughing excitedly in the great hall and let out a coldugh.


    He no longer remained hidden, revealing his form, and shouted, ¡°Master Ding!¡±


    The call of ¡°Master Ding¡± shattered the night¡¯s silence of the Poison Dragon Pce!


    The Dark Dragon and all the Ancient Ancestors of the Poison Dragon Pce, engrossed in their joy and excitement, were startled by the shout and flew out instinctively.


    As they flew out of the pce, they saw an unimaginably huge cauldron.


    This enormous cauldron obscured the night itself, its infinite golden mes lighting up every corner of the ck Dragon Pce.


    The divine might filled the entire ck Dragon Pce, overwhelming all who felt it.


    All the disciples of the ck Dragon Pce felt suffocated by the pressure.


    Even the Dark Dragon and all the Ancient Ancestors of the Poison Dragon Pce felt a heavy weight on them, as if an Ancient Divine Mountain pressed down upon their bodies.


    The Dark Dragon and the others were pale with shock.


    What kind of cauldron was this?


    Since when did the Azure God Continent have such a supremely invincible cauldron!


    While the Dark Dragon and the others were in shock, suddenly, Master Ding, carrying an invincible strength and with a momentum that could obliterate worlds, bombarded down towards them in an instant.


    The Dark Dragon and others were terrified.


    Almost instantly, the Dark Dragon roared, transforming into a Dark Giant Dragon, a tens of thousands of feet long Dark Giant Dragon. His body surged with Dark Power and Divine Dragon Power.


    With a mountain-like gigantic w, he ferociously shed at Master Ding.


    ¡°Dark Dragon Breaks the Heavens!¡±


    The Dark Dragon bellowed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Poison Dragon Pce Master and a host of Ancient Ancestors were filled with terror as they each acted crazily. Everyone summoned their Divine Spirit Weapons and directed all their might at Master Ding.


    However, if even the Abyssal Master and the Undying Death God couldn¡¯t withstand Master Ding¡¯s attack, what chance did the Dark Dragon and these Ancient Ancestors of the Poison Dragon Pce stand?


    Thud!


    Thebined attack of the Dark Dragon and the Ancient Ancestors from the Poison Dragon Pce was a world-shattering force, yet when it struck Master Ding, it had no effect whatsoever. Master Ding¡¯s radiance remained, his golden mes undimmed, and his momentum unchanged.


    Seeing their attacks fail to shake Master Ding in the slightest, the Dark Dragon¡¯s expression finally changed dramatically. Having battled in the Ancient Demon Battlefield for many years, he had seen all manner of powerful beings, but he had never encountered a cauldron this monstrous.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    He reacted instantly, roaring loudly.


    His entire body¡¯s Dark Power and the power of the Divine Dragons surged upward like a tsunami, as he exerted his full strength in an attempt to tear through theyers of space and escape.


    The Poison Dragon Pce Master and a group of Poison Dragon Ancient Ancestors also desperately employed their methods of escape, frantically fleeing. Some even resorted to taboo techniques that burned their life force and vitality, just to increase their speed and evade Master Ding¡¯s annihting strike.


    But just as the Dark Dragon tore through space in an instant, Master Ding struck down.


    Hum!


    The space through which Master Ding struck trembled violently, and the terrifying spatial force squeezed the Dark Dragon out from the depths of space once more.


    The moment the Dark Dragon fell out from the depths of space, he saw Master Ding descending upon him from above.


    All the Ancient Ancestors from the Poison Dragon Pce felt a darkness descend upon them.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the Dark Dragon and dozens of Divine Spirit Realm beings from the Poison Dragon Pce were all smashed into the ground.


    The pce and the mountain upon which it stood, without any suspense, were blown apart.


    Not only the pce where they had just been, but even tens of thousands of surrounding mountains were obliterated.


    The disciples of the Poison Dragon Pce hadn¡¯t even understood what was happening when they were also blown into mists of blood.


    The terrifying power continued to spread, and other mountains and pces of the Poison Dragon Pce also began to crumble and sink.


    The Poison Dragon Pce Sect covered an immense area, with innumerable mountains and pces, but with just one strike from Master Ding, half of the Poison Dragon Pce was annihted.


    From a distance, one could see that half of the Poison Dragon Pce had be a terrifying deep pit.


    Even though Yang Xiaotian had seen Master Ding¡¯s power, the sight of his destructive strike still left him shocked.


    After the strike, Master Ding shrank and returned to Yang Xiaotian¡¯s palm.


    Yang Xiaotian flew to the center of the deep pit and saw the Dark Dragon lying at the bottom, his skin split and flesh torn apart, vomiting blood continuously but not dead¡ªjust severely injured.


    To have suffered such a devastating blow from Master Ding and only be gravely injured showed the incredible strength of the Dark Dragon.


    However, Yang Xiaotian wasn¡¯t surprised; the Dark Dragon had been the top expert of the Buddha Pagoda Empire over a hundred thousand years before.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian approaching, the Dark Dragon¡¯s face changed dramatically.


    ¡°Who are you?!¡± the Dark Dragon eximed in shock and anger.


    ¡°Who I am is not important,¡± Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said.


    After all, the Dark Dragon was a dying man.


    ¡°Why? What do you want?¡± the Dark Dragon asked, looking at Master Ding in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s hand while fearfully retreating.


    A thought crossed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s mind; now that he had broken through to the Emperor Realm, his current Soul Power could subdue a fourth mount, and the Dark Dragon before him was a Dark Giant Dragon. If he could subdue it, he would undoubtedly have another unparalleled powerhouse by his side.


    After all, the supply of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water would run out eventually, and he couldn¡¯t always rely on Master Ding.


    Besides, to kill the Dark Dragon would cost at least two more drops of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, and there wasn¡¯t much of it left with him.


    Therefore, if he could subdue the Dark Dragon, all the better.


    ¡°This is a Control Elixir. If you swallow it, I might spare your life!¡± Yang Xiaotian took out an elixir and threw it to the Dark Dragon.


    The Dark Dragon caught the elixir and suddenly burst into loudughter, filled with scorn and unrestrained arrogance.


    ¡°Boy, you think you can subdue me? Do you think you¡¯re the Lord of Azure God?!¡±

 Chapter 475: 475: Netherworld Ghost King

    Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Netherworld Ghost King


    Learning that the Ancient Demon Battlefield possessed Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Yang Xiaotian was filled with hope.


    If that was the case, he would inevitably have to venture into the Ancient Demon Battlefield in the future.


    ¡°Master, if you require this Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, please feel free to use it,¡± Dark Dragon said respectfully.


    Yang Xiaotian pondered, ¡°I do indeed need arge amount of Ninefold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water recently. How about this, I won¡¯t take yours for nothing, I¡¯ll give you a thousand vessels of Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, how does that sound?¡±


    Although the Dark Dragon was his subordinate, he did not want to take things from his subordinates for nothing.


    He then took out a thousand vessels of Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water for Dark Dragon.


    Dark Dragon was surprised; he had not expected Yang Xiaotian to have so much Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.


    ¡°Thank you, master,¡± he said, sping his fists.


    ¡°From now on, just call me young master,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    The title of master was awkward to hear.


    Dark Dragonplied.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian took out ten Life-Returning Pills for Dark Dragon.


    The Life-Returning Pill was a seventh-grade healing elixir, with effects even better than those of the Endless Life Pill and the Life-Extending Pill.


    For Dark Dragon, a seventh-grade healing elixir wasn¡¯t much. However, the ten Life-Returning Pills that Yang Xiaotian took out were all of two tribtions heavenly grade!


    A one tribtion heavenly grade elixir was already hard to find in the world, and yet Yang Xiaotian had taken out ten two tribtions heavenly grade pills in one go!


    Dark Dragon was shocked.


    How could their young master possess so many two tribtions heavenly grade Life-Returning Pills?


    Seeing the expression on Dark Dragon¡¯s face and knowing what he was thinking, Yang Xiaotian said, ¡°In time, you will find out how I came to possess so many two tribtions heavenly grade elixirs.¡±


    Dark Dragon nodded, then sat down crossed-legged on the ground, swallowing a two tribtions heavenly grade Life-Returning Pill and a vessel of Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water. He began to circte his cultivation technique to heal his injuries.


    Dawn was breaking.


    After refining the two tribtions heavenly grade Life-Returning Pill and the Sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, Dark Dragon¡¯s face finally regained some color. Although his injuries had notpletely healed, he had somewhat recovered.


    Seeing that Dark Dragon¡¯s injuries had improved somewhat, Yang Xiaotian continued their journey with him.


    ¡°Young master, where are we heading now?¡± Dark Dragon asked, following behind Yang Xiaotian.


    He knew nothing of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s identity.


    ¡°We¡¯re heading to the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    He needed to reach the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect to find the method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin and at the same time, see if he could find more Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    Hearing that they were going to the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect, Dark Dragon couldn¡¯t help but be astonished.


    He had some understanding of the Netherworld Demon Sect ruins and knew that the ruins were constantly shrouded in Netherworld Demon Qi and housed many terrifying Corpse Ghosts. It was extremely dangerous.


    ¡°The ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect are perilous. May I ask why you wish to enter the sect?¡± Dark Dragon asked curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯ve obtained the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, and I wish to go there to find the method to refine it,¡± Yang Xiaotian revealed without hiding anything.


    The Eternal Heavenly Coffin!


    Upon hearing this, Dark Dragon was taken aback.


    Their young master had actually obtained the notorious and terrifying ancient Divine Artifact, the Eternal Heavenly Coffin!


    ¡°Young master, the power of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin is extremely malevolent. A slight mishap could lead to bacsh. In the past, although the Netherworld Demon Sect had numerous experts, only two were capable of controlling the Eternal Heavenly Coffin,¡± Dark Dragon said with a serious expression. ¡°One was the Netherworld Ghost King, and the other was the Shocking Heaven Sword God.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    After obtaining the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, he had looked through many books concerning it, learning that the Netherworld Ghost King and the Shocking Heaven Sword God were the most powerful ancient ancestors of the Netherworld Demon Sect back in their time.


    Especially the Netherworld Ghost King, was terrifyingly abnormal, with a demonic name that shook the heavens.


    Within the Eternal Heavenly Coffiny the Netherworld Ghost King.


    The Netherworld Ghost King was also known as the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with Master Ding here, the evil powers of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin won¡¯t be able to withstand me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Moreover, he had justpleted the initial phase of cultivating the Eternal Divine Body and had also cultivated the Primordial Heaven Destiny, so it wasn¡¯t so easy for the evil powers of the Eternal Heavenly Coffin to devour him.


    The Dark Dragon, upon hearing this, felt relieved.


    However, merely the mention of Master Ding still made him tremble with fear.


    Yang Xiaotian brought out the Abyssal Spaceship, and the two boarded the ship, heading towards the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    Although Yang Xiaotian concealed the presence of the Abyssal Spaceship, the Dark Dragon could still sense its immense power.


    Propelled by top-quality Spirit Stones, the Abyssal Spaceship sliced through clouds and waves, steadily approaching the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    Inside the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian took out the four Heavenly Fate Divine Stones for cultivation.


    Soon, hepletely devoured the energy contained within the four Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    After absorbing the energy of the four Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, his Divine Sea World shone even more brightly and became much more solid.


    However, to bear the second Primordial Heaven Destiny, he was still slightlycking.


    Having no other option, Yang Xiaotian could only solidify his Divine Sea World little by little through cultivation.


    But solidifying the Divine Sea World through cultivation was really too slow. After several days of cultivation, Yang Xiaotian saw no change in his Divine Sea World.


    At this rate, it would take at least a year for him to bear the second Primordial Heaven Destiny through cultivation.


    Therefore, to cultivate the second Primordial Heaven Destiny in a short term, it was still necessary to seek more Heavenly Fate Divine Stones.


    Fortunately, after several days, the two finally arrived at the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    In its heyday, the Netherworld Demon Sect was the number one Demon Sect on the Azure God Continent, far more powerful than the current Yin Wind Sect and Poison Dragon Pce, so prosperous it could be described as a ce where myriad gods gathered.


    Now, only endless ruins and broken walls remained as far as the eye could see.


    When the two arrived, the sky was already growing dark, with the asional call of Yin Crows and the odd howl that sent chills down one¡¯s spine.


    Although it wasn¡¯tpletely dark yet, the entire Netherworld Demon Sect ruins were shrouded in ayer of greyish-yellow mist ¡ª this was the Netherworld Demon Qi.


    Even standing outside the ruins, the stench of decay in the Netherworld Demon Qi was enough to make them feel nauseated.


    It was said that beneath the Netherworld Demon Secty a Corpse River so vast it was iparable, and the stench of decay came from it.


    ¡°Old Long, how are your injuries? Can you go in?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked the Dark Dragon.


    ¡°My lord, my injuries are not a major concern anymore, I can go in,¡± Dark Dragon quickly replied.


    After continuously consuming the sixthyer of Tribtion Thunder Water and Life-Returning Pills during the journey, his injuries had mostly recovered. Although the Netherworld Demon Qi was formidable, his strength was still sufficient to enter it.


    ¡°Good, let¡¯s go in!¡± With a sh, Yang Xiaotian broke through theyers of Netherworld Demon Qi. He didn¡¯t summon the three Divine mes, but simply activated the power of the Eternal Divine Body, and instantly, the Netherworld Demon Qi that approached him turned into Time Sand Grains.


    The Dark Dragon, following by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side, was deeply astonished by this sight.


    The two proceeded onward, flying towards the front of the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    Due to the Netherworld Demon Qi, their visibility was obstructed, and Yang Xiaotian could only see a few hundred meters ahead.


    Shortly after the two entered, a piercing screech suddenly sounded, and a gigantic figure lunged at Yang Xiaotian to attack.


    Yang Xiaotian punched out, sending the assant crashing into distant ruins.


    The attacker was a hideous creature, dozens of meters tall, drenched in corpse fluid.


    After taking a punch from Yang Xiaotian, the creature did not explode but lunged at Yang Xiaotian again to attack.

 Chapter 476: 476

    Chapter 476: 476


    The monster in front of him was indeed a Corpse Ghost.


    A being that was half-corpse, half-ghost.


    Corpse Ghosts of the Netherworld Demon Sect, like the Death Spirits of the Undying Death God, were extremely difficult to kill.


    However, facing the Corpse Ghost¡¯s attack once again, Yang Xiaotian activated the power of the Eternal Divine Body and struck out once more.


    Boom!


    This Emperor Realm Corpse Ghost was sted into the air and turned into Time Sand Grains in mid-flight,pletely disappearing between heaven and earth.


    Upon seeing this, Dark Dragon couldn¡¯t help but exim, ¡°Young master¡¯s Eternal Divine Body is truly invincible!¡±


    Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, ¡°At the very least, it can¡¯t kill you.¡±


    He had, after all, punched Dark Dragon a few times.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    Dark Dragon smiled awkwardly.


    However, he also knew that this was because Yang Xiaotian¡¯s current realm was still low, preventing him from truly unleashing the power of the Eternal Divine Body. If Yang Xiaotian were to break through to the Saint Realm, whether Dark Dragon could withstand the power of the Eternal Divine Body would be another matter.


    The two continued to fly forward.


    Dark Power swirled around Dark Dragon, forming a dark barrier that blocked the increasingly intense Netherworld Demon Qi.


    Along the way, they encountered many more Corpse Ghosts.


    These Corpse Ghosts were not weak; the weakest among them were at the Emperor Realm, and some were even in the Saint Realm.


    When Yang Xiaotian and hispanion reached the depths of the Netherworld Demon Sect, they even encountered Corpse Ghosts of the Divine Spirit Realm.


    Divine Spirit Realm Corpse Ghosts required considerable effort from Dark Dragon to eliminate.


    Upon reaching the depths of the Netherworld Demon Sect, they could see that the architecture here was still well preserved, with pce halls so grand and imposing, though time had eroded their divinity, leaving them dull and without light.


    A nket of deathly stillness covered the ce.


    It carried the emptiness of destion, the wildness of abandonment, and the ruin of decay.


    Weeds taller than a person hid various poisonous creatures and dead things.


    ¡°The pce up ahead is the great hall of the Netherworld Demon Sect of old,¡± Dark Dragon pointed and said. ¡°Past the great hall lie the cultivation caves of the ancient venerables of the Netherworld Demon Sect.¡±


    ¡°Deeper still lies the forbidden ground of the Netherworld Demon Sect.¡±


    ¡°Beneath the forbidden ground flows the Corpse River.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    Legend had it that the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was an object from the Corpse River. The Netherworld Grandmaster discovered it there, gained the Eternal Heavenly Coffin, cultivated the Netherworld Divine Art, and established the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    The cave dwelling of the Netherworld Grandmaster was located next to the Corpse River. There should be a method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin within the Netherworld Grandmaster¡¯s dwelling, soter, he nned to enter the Corpse River.


    The two flew toward the Netherworld Forbidden Ground.


    Although the interior pces remained rtively intact, many had been sliced into pieces by supreme Sword Qi.


    Many pces werepletely gone, with the ground bearing terrifying punch holes that were unfathomably deep.


    One could only imagine how earthshaking the battle at the Netherworld Demon Sect had been.


    ¡°Old Long, do you know anything about that battle at the Netherworld Demon Sect?¡± Yang Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Dark Dragon shook his head: ¡°Regarding that battle, there are many different ounts. Some say it was the Lord of Azure God who intervened, while others believe it was the joint hands of the Undying Death God and Undefeated Nether God.¡±


    Upon saying this, he pondered, ¡°Although the Undying Death God and Undefeated Nether God were strong, even if they joined forces, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to annihte the Netherworld Demon Sect.¡±


    The Netherworld Demon Sect was the foremost Demon Sect in the Azure God Continent at the time, with immeasurable strength; not something the Undying Death God and Undefeated Nether God could have extinguished.


    Not to mention, the Netherworld Ghost King and Shocking Heaven Sword God were not inferior to the Undying Death God and Undefeated Nether God.


    ¡°However, it should also not have been the doing of the Lord of Azure God,¡± continued Dark Dragon. ¡°From the state of destruction of these pces, it wasn¡¯t the work of the Lord of Azure God or Lord Azure Bear.¡±


    He then said, ¡°Some suspect that the culprits might be mighty experts from the Myriad Swords Continent.¡±


    ¡°Myriad Swords Continent!¡± Yang Xiaotian eximed in surprise.


    The headquarters of the Heaven-Prating Divine Sect was located on the Myriad Swords Continent.


    ¡°However, these are just spections, no one knows the situation back then,¡± Dark Dragon said, ¡°If the Netherworld Ghost King could be resurrected, we would know who made the move at that time.¡±


    In that battle of the past, the Shocking Heaven Sword God fell.


    The Netherworld Ghost King was severely injured and became half-dead, escaping the cmity by using the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    The person who made the move must have terrifying strength.


    Soon, the two arrived at the great hall of the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    The great hall was majestic, but half of it had copsed.


    After a horrific fist force smashed through the great hall, it continued to extend into the forbiddennd.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped down into the great hall, where the Netherworld Demon Qi rolled and surged like the sea. Through this Qi, one could see the stone pirs in the great hall engraved with statues of various Demon Gods.


    Yang Xiaotian walked around but didn¡¯t find anything useful, and continued with Dark Dragon toward the forbiddennd.


    Just as the two were flying to the forbiddennd of the Netherworld Demon Sect, outside the ruins, several figures floated over. They were none other than the Undying Death God, Son Nether God Yan Ping, Corpse Demon, Blood Demon, and Evil Buddha.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Apart from a few of them, there was also the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God of the Fan Family.


    However, Jian Jiu of the Fan Family was not seen.


    The Undying Death God and Son Nether God Yan Ping came in search of the Netherworld Divine Pill concocted by the Netherworld Grandmaster back then.


    The Undying Death God and the others directly broke through the Netherworld Demon Qi and entered the ruins.


    As they traveled, they encountered Corpse Ghosts, all of which they blew apart with a single punch or palm.


    ¡°What do you think about the affair at the Poison Dragon Pce?¡± the Undying Death God suddenly spoke.


    ¡°It must have been that brat¡¯s doing!¡± Yan Ping¡¯s face darkened, ¡°I heard that even the Poison Dragon Pce Treasury was emptied by that kid.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t help but think of the emptied Ghost Den Treasury of Nether Sect, his eyes filled with a thick killing intent.


    ¡°That kid has been ruining our ns all this time, I really want to crush him to death!¡± Corpse Demon uttered angrily.


    ¡°How is everything on Divine Residence¡¯s side?¡± the Undying Death God asked.


    These days, they had been closely monitoring the Divine Mansion.


    ¡°The Yang Family members have been staying inside the Divine Mansion these days and haven¡¯t gone out,¡± Blood Demon shook his head, ¡°Only a few guards havee out to purchase things.¡±


    Therefore, they had no opportunity to make a move against the Yang Family members.


    ¡°Since the Yang Family members won¡¯te out, we¡¯ll move against these guards,¡± the Undying Death God said with a dark expression, ¡°I want to have everyone in the Divine Mansion live in fear every day!¡±


    The Corpse Demon and the others nodded in agreement.


    As the Undying Death God and his group wereing towards the Netherworld Forbidden Ground, Yang Xiaotian andpany finally arrived at the Netherworld Forbidden Ground.


    The restrictions in the Netherworld Forbidden Ground were terrifying back then, but after the battle of the past, the restrictions had been destroyed, so Yang Xiaotian andpany easily passed through the forbiddennd and arrived at the bottom of the forbidden ground.


    As soon as they entered the bottom of the forbidden ground, a terrifying wave of death energy hit them like a tidal wave.


    Yang Xiaotian looked ahead and saw at the end of the towering death energy, an enormous Corpse River stretching across the ground, its waters rolling endlessly, emitting a peculiar stench.


    ¡°Young master, be careful!¡± Dark Dragon warned.


    Because he sensed several extremely dangerous presences within the space underground, lurking in the Corpse River.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, as he brought the power of his Eternal Divine Body to the utmost limit. Time¡¯s power flowed unceasingly around his body, then he stepped forward and began searching for the dwelling of the Netherworld Grandmaster.


    After searching for a while, Yang Xiaotian saw a huge pce standing beside the Corpse River.


    Presumably, that was the dwelling of the Netherworld Grandmaster.

 Chapter 477: 477: Netherworld Corpse River Cauldron

    Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Netherworld Corpse River Cauldronn/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Yang Xiaotian and hispanion quickly flew towards that ancient cave dwelling.


    However, as they approached the cave dwelling, the Dark Dragon kept a watchful eye on the changes in the Corpse River, guarding against the terrifying beings that might strike from within.


    Upon reaching the gates of the cave dwelling, they saw that the gates were tightly shut, branded with all manners of runes. Even after a million years, these runes still shimmered with light.


    The entire cave dwelling was not forged from fine steel, but from massive beast bones that emitted an astonishing corpse qi.


    The corpse qi surged, and within it were faintly audible wails of agony.


    Clearly, this corpse qi had already gained sentience.


    Yang Xiaotian was astonished. What sort of beast bones were these for their corpse qi to have gained sentience?


    ¡°These must be the bones of the Corpse Beasts from the Corpse River, in by the Netherworld Grandmaster of yore. He then used their bones to forge this cave dwelling.¡± The Dark Dragon spoke gravely, ¡°This sentient corpse qi is very troublesome.¡±


    Even he said it was troublesome, which showed how fearsome this corpse qi was.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    Yang Xiaotian tried to activate the power of the Eternal Divine Body, and threw his fists forward.


    Instantly, the power of time pounded into the surging corpse qi.


    A piercing, mournful scream erupted.


    To Yang Xiaotian¡¯s surprise, his power of time could only make the surging corpse qi fade slightly and could notpletely assimte it.


    Moreover, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s attack caused the once calm radiance of the cave dwelling to shake violently, and endless corpse qi burst forth, howling towards Yang Xiaotian and the Dark Dragon.


    rmed, Yang Xiaotian and the Dark Dragon quickly retreated, only stopping once they reached the entrance to the underground. The outpouring of corpse qi from the cave dwelling then ceased.


    No wonder the Netherworld Grandmaster¡¯s dwelling had remained intact all this time. Even if one could enter this underground Corpse River, it would be exceedingly difficult to prate the Grandmaster¡¯s dwelling.


    Yang Xiaotian, left with no choice, asked the Dark Dragon to wait for him outside while Master Ding protected him with a light shield. Then he returned to the gates of the cave dwelling.


    Yang Xiaotian ced his palms on the gates, trying to run the power of the Eternal Divine Body to see if he could assimte the gates.


    Yang Xiaotian was pleased to find that under the power of the Eternal Divine Body, the gates were slowly being assimted. Although the process was slow, at this rate, the whole thing could be assimted in no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.


    While Yang Xiaotian was continuously assimting the gates of the cave dwelling, the Undying Death God, Son Nether God Yan Ping, and others had also arrived at the great hall of the Netherworld Demon Sect.


    The Undying Death God looked at the terrifying fist force that stretched to the horizon, and a ripple of emotion crossed his otherwise expressionless face.


    ¡°The once number one Demon Sect, to end up in such a state, is trulymentable and regrettable!¡± Son Nether God Yan Ping, looking at the hall before him, also shared his sentiments.


    The Netherworld Demon Sect was destroyed just as he had broken through to the Divine Spirit Realm.


    When the Netherworld Demon Sect was annihted, the news shocked the whole Azure God Continent.


    ¡°It¡¯s just the way of the victor and the vanquished.¡± The Undying Death God¡¯s eyes returned to their usual coldness as he continued to fly with the rest towards the Netherworld Forbidden Ground.


    In the depths of the forbidden ground, the gates of the cave dwelling were finally assimted under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s power of time.


    Seeing the huge hole in the cave dwelling¡¯s gates, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed and dashed inside.


    Inside the cave dwelling, the corpse qi was even more intense.


    However, with Master Ding¡¯s light shield for protection, Yang Xiaotian moved freely within the cave dwelling.


    The interior space of the cave dwelling wasrger than he had imagined.


    Just the front hall alone was thousands of meters wide.


    Yang Xiaotian walked around the front hall and did not find anything particrly useful, so he moved to the back courtyard.


    In the back courtyard, there stood a towering tree that reached the sky.


    This giant tree was entirely made of bones, even the branches were bones, and from the branches hung more than a dozen fruits.


    These dozen or so fruits emitted an astonishing aura of death, yet their surfaces also shimmered with divine light.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked in bewilderment.


    ¡°The Death God Tree,¡± said Master Ding.


    The Death God Tree!


    The tree before his eyes was actually the Demon Sect¡¯s treasured Death God Tree.


    ¡°Master Ding, is there any way to take this Death God Tree?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    If the Death God Tree fell into the hands of the Undead Death God, the Undefeated Underworld God, and other such masters of the Demon Sect, then the power of the Undead Death God, the Undefeated Underworld God could be cultivated to an astonishing realm, so naturally, the Death God Tree could not be left behind.


    ¡°This Death God Tree, just like the previous Heavenly Dragon God Tree, is already connected to the entire cave¡¯s power. It¡¯s difficult to take it away,¡± Master Ding said, ¡°To take it, you would need to use nineyers of Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow.


    ¡°However, you need not worry, as no one else can possibly take this Death God Tree away either,¡± Master Ding said.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, leaped up, and picked off all the several Death God Fruits.


    These several Death God Fruits contained terrifying death aura; although he could not refine them, taking them away for now might be of great use in the future.


    After securing all the Divine Fruits, Yang Xiaotian tried to operate the power of the Eternal Divine Body to see if he could destroy the Death God Tree, but as soon as the power of his Eternal Divine Body touched the tree, it was dispelled by the force of the tree.


    It appeared that the Death God Tree was already connected to the power of the cave, and with his current power, he could not destroy it.


    Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to walk deeper inside, searching for a method to refine the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    A whileter, he came upon a pce.


    Inside the pce, there were countless books.


    Surprisingly, despite the books being eroded by corpse qi for many years, they were still intact.


    Yang Xiaotian stepped forward and browsed through them roughly, which were all Divine Skills and Swordsmanship of the Netherworld Demon Sect, as well as numerous notes left by the Netherworld Grandmaster.


    Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotian took away all these books, intending to read themter when he returned.


    Afterward, Yang Xiaotian found the Pill Refining Chamber of the Netherworld Grandmaster.


    The Pill Refining Chamber housed arge cauldron emitting a deathly aura, with an imprint of a Corpse River on its body.


    It seemed that this was one of the four great Divine Cauldrons of the Azure God Continent, the Netherworld Corpse River Cauldron.


    Yang Xiaotian did not attempt to refine it, and directly took the Netherworld Corpse River Cauldron away.


    Inside the Pill Refining Chamber, there were many Alchemy books, which Yang Xiaotian also moved out.


    Yang Xiaotian continued to search for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone within the cave dwelling.


    His main purpose in entering the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect this time was for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    However, after searching every corner of the cave dwelling, Yang Xiaotian still did not see the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.


    Could it be that the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone wasn¡¯t here?


    Just as Yang Xiaotian was puzzled, suddenly, a thunderous boom and the angry roar of the Dark Dragon came from outside the cave dwelling.


    Yang Xiaotian flew towards the outside of the cave dwelling with urgency.


    As soon as he flew out of the cave dwelling, he saw the figures of the Undying Death God, Yan Ping, the Son of Nether God, and others.


    The Dark Dragon was being besieged by the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, the Evil Buddha, and the Fan Tian Heavenly Sword God.


    Since the Dark Dragon had not fully recovered its strength, and was being attacked by the four together, the Dark Dragon was forced to retreat step by step.


    The Undying Death God and Yan Ping were observing the battle when they suddenly saw Yang Xiaotian flying out of the Netherworld Grandmaster¡¯s cave dwelling; both of them were greatly startled.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian!¡± the Undying Death God and Yan Ping eximed in unison.


    Dammit!


    How could they encounter this guy everywhere.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian, the Undying Death God felt the urge to tear up the Corpse River himself.


    Hearing the exmations of the Undying Death God and Yan Ping, the Corpse Demon and others who were besieging the Dark Dragon trembled in their hearts and stopped in fear.


    ¡°Master Ding!¡± Yang Xiaotian bellowed, his cry shaking the Corpse River.

 Chapter 479: 479: One Man Challenges All Core Disciples

    Chapter 479: Chapter 479: One Man Challenges All Core Disciples


    On the very night Yang Xiaotian returned, news spread among the disciples: the Son of Beast God, Chen Zefang, who had been on an external experience, had alsoe back!


    Chen Zefang, the Son of Beast God, was one of the six sons of Azure God and, like Ren Tianye, was one of the most controversial Core Disciples.


    Chen Zefang was iparably strong; rumors had it that he had shed with Ren Tianye several times, and neither could im victory over the other!


    This point alone sufficed to show Chen Zefang¡¯s strength.


    Some people said that Ren Tianye became the chief among the six sons of Azure God not because he was stronger than Chen Zefang, but because Ren Tianye possessed the Heaven and Earth God Body bestowed by the Lord of Azure God.


    However, others said that Ren Tianye was indeed a notch more powerful than Chen Zefang and that if it came to a fight to the death, Chen Zefang would certainly be the one to die.


    Regardless, Chen Zefang¡¯s formidable strength was beyond doubt.


    The night of Chen Zefang¡¯s return, Zeng Qianqian and Princess Wan Ning both came looking for Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang is back,¡± Zeng Qianqian said with a smile, sitting to the left of Yang Xiaotian.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    Yang Xiaotian noticed that Sister Zeng, who was usually reticent, seemed to have be much more lively on his return.


    The more spirited Sister Zeng was, the more beautiful she seemed.


    In contrast to Sister Zeng, Princess Wan Ning looked at Yang Xiaotian with her usual fervent gaze, ¡°You went out for experience and didn¡¯t include us. Were you afraid we¡¯d be a burden to you?¡±


    Her voice was soft and tender, irresistibly tickling one¡¯s heart.


    Yang Xiaotian responded with a smile, ¡°The journey was perilous, so I did not inform the two sisters. I did not want you to worry.¡±


    Princess Wan Ning felt warm and sweet inside, knowing that Yang Xiaotian cared about her.


    The three started chatting leisurely.


    During the casual conversation, the two women brought up Ren Tianye.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Ren Tianye to trigger the nine-fold Destiny Tribtion again and cultivate the eleventh Ninefold Heavenly Fate!¡± Zeng Qianqian said with a grave expression.


    ¡°Now, all disciples of Divine Mansion are talking about Ren Tianye having cultivated the eleventh Ninefold Heavenly Fate,¡± added Princess Wan Ning, her mood equally heavy.


    The stronger Ren Tianye was, the more disadvantageous it was for Yang Xiaotian.


    Moreover, Ren Tianye had a significant grudge against Yang Xiaotian. If Yang Xiaotian encountered Ren Tianye in the Divine Mansion¡¯s grandpetition, Ren Tianye would probably not hold back.


    ¡°The fact that Ren Tianye cultivated the eleven Ninefold Heavenly Fates is indeed astonishing in talent,¡± Yang Xiaotian acknowledged with a nod.


    Eleven Ninefold Heavenly Fates were peerless in any era.


    In ten thousand years, Ren Tianye was the only one capable of cultivating eleven Ninefold Heavenly Fates.


    ¡°Chen Zefang just returned as well,¡± Zeng Qianqian mentioned, ¡°It is said he entered Divine Beast Mountain for an experience and encountered tremendous fortune, which made his strength skyrocket.¡±


    ¡°This man is extremely arrogant and overbearing; he doesn¡¯t take anyone else seriously, not even Ren Tianye.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He had also heard about this Chen Zefang.


    The most talked-about individuals in Azure God Mansion were Ren Tianye and Chen Zefang.


    Even though the Son of ughter, Meng Bai, was one of the six sons of Azure God, he merely ranked at the bottom. Compared to Ren Tianye and Chen Zefang, he was far behind.


    ¡°I find him utterly detestable,¡± Princess Wan Ning said, her face showing her dislike as she spoke of Chen Zefang.


    She had met Chen Zefang at a banquet of the Myriad Gods Imperial n, and his leering gaze at her was like that of a Fierce Beast, making her whole body ufortable.


    ¡°Junior Brother Yang, how is your cultivation now?¡± Zeng Qianqian asked Yang Xiaotian, unable to contain her curiosity.


    Princess Wan Ning also looked at Yang Xiaotian with an inquisitive expression.


    During the grandpetition at Azure God Academy, the battle between Yang Xiaotian and Zeng Qianqian was shocking.


    But since Yang Xiaotian broke through to the Emperor Realm, no one had seen him take action.


    Therefore, everyone¡¯s understanding of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s strength was just vague spection.


    ¡°Not too bad,¡± Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, seeing the curiosity of the two women, ¡°I have already broken through to the second level of the Emperor Realm.¡±


    ¡°What, the second level of the Emperor Realm!¡± Zeng Qianqian and Princess Wan Ning were both greatly shocked, staring at Yang Xiaotian in disbelief.


    They could hardly believe that their Junior Brother Yang had advanced to the second level of the Emperor Realm after just one trip out for experience!


    ¡°I still find my cultivation too slow,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    The two women were speechless.


    Too slow?


    They hadn¡¯t even broken through to the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm yet.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian had already reached the second level of the Emperor Realm.


    The women sat for a while longer before leaving.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s breakthrough to the second level of the Emperor Realm had ¡°shocked¡± them greatly, so they resolved to practice with even more effort in the future, aiming to catch up with Yang Xiaotian.


    In the blink of an eye, a day passed.


    Yang Xiaotian remained inside his cave residence, fortifying his Divine Sea World without stepping outside.


    After one day, the grandpetition of the Divine Mansion finally arrived.


    Yang Xiaotian emerged from his cave and flew towards the square where the Divine Mansion¡¯s grandpetition was to be held.


    By the time he arrived, the square was already filled with disciples.


    Ren Tianye, Zeng Min, and a few others had also arrived.


    The arrival of Yang Xiaotian caused quite a stir.


    A few looked at the figure of Yang Xiaotian arriving through the sky, each with a different expression.


    Ren Tianye watched Yang Xiaotian with an eye filled with pride and iciness.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian reached the square, a young disciple dressed in red robes, his face the picture of arrogance, stepped out from the crowd. He approached Yang Xiaotian, scrutinizing him, ¡°You must be Yang Xiaotian?¡±


    Although Yang Xiaotian had never seen the other party, he still guessed his identity, ¡°Chen Zefang.¡±


    Chen Zefang stared at Yang Xiaotian, standing with his hands behind his back, ¡°Meng Bai is my brother.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    ¡°If you encounter me in the Divine Mansionpetitionter, I will make my move with full force. You better watch out for yourself,¡± he said.


    After speaking, he turned and left.


    Soon, Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, Zhao Feng, Li Nian, and others arrived. Almost all the high-ranking members of the Azure God Mansion were present for this grandpetition of the Divine Mansion.


    Apart from the Azure Bear, who was still in seclusion and did not make an appearance, even the usually enigmatic Fist God, Zhang Wanli, showed up.


    Zeng Yongjiang scanned the crowd of disciples and spoke, ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s begin.¡±


    Just as people were about to step forward and draw lots, Yang Xiaotian suddenly stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Zeng Yongjiang, ¡°Mansion Master, Xiaotian has a request that I hope you will grant.¡±


    Seeing it was Yang Xiaotian, Zeng Yongjiang smiled and said, ¡°What request do you have,d? Speak.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian began, ¡°Going through matches one by one is too troublesome and time-consuming. I want to challenge all the disciples in thepetition by myself.¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Sword God Xi Long couldn¡¯t help but snort.


    Saber God Zhao Feng and Medicine God Li Nian also snorted, even the recently appeared Fist God Zhang Wanli did the same.


    Everyone was in shock, looking at Yang Xiaotian and wondering if they¡¯d heard wrong.


    Yang Xiaotian wanted to challenge all the core disciples participating in thepetition by himself?


    Even Zeng Qianqian and Princess Wan Ning¡¯s eyes went wide.


    ¡°You want to fight all the core disciples of the Divine Mansion by yourself?¡± Zeng Yongjiang was also utterly astonished.


    Such a request was unprecedented.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded, ¡°Correct.¡± He then said, ¡°If I win against all the core disciples of the Divine Mansion, all the rewards from the grandpetition will go to me, right?¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang looked at Yang Xiaotian, making sure he wasn¡¯t joking, then furrowed his brow, ¡°Have you considered the consequences?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s action would undoubtedly anger all the core disciples of the Divine Mansion. During thepetition, none of the core disciples would hold back, and Yang Xiaotian would be beaten terribly.


    ¡°If I lose, I have only myself to me,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    Zeng Yongjiang slowly said, ¡°Alright, your request is granted.¡±

 Chapter 481: 481: How Could There Be Such Heavenly Fate in This World!

    Chapter 481: Chapter 481: How Could There Be Such Heavenly Fate in This World!


    ¡°Ninefold Heavenly Fate!¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Zefang¡¯s Heavenly Fate in an instant, many disciples of the Divine Mansion eximed.


    Chen Zefang¡¯s Heavenly Fate indeedprised nineyers!


    ¡°When the Ninefold Heavenly Fate appears, the world is astounded!¡± Zeng Yongjiang also said excitedly.


    During any era, in any of the Supreme Sects, the birth of a disciple with Ninefold Heavenly Fate is the supreme glory and is bound to shake the heavens and earth.


    Ren Tianye¡¯s face darkened.


    He had not expected that Chen Zefang, like himself, had cultivated the extremely difficult Ninefold Heavenly Fate.


    However, one could not deny the astonishing talent of Chen Zefang, who possessed three top-tier supreme Martial Souls and the Myriad Beasts Godly Body.


    It was no wonder that Chen Zefang had cultivated the Ninefold Heavenly Fate.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s shock, Chen Zefang¡¯s aura pulsed again, and another splendid golden Ninefold Heavenly Fate flew out.


    Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth¡­


    Until the tenth finally ceased.


    Ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates!


    This was Chen Zefang¡¯s Heavenly Fate.


    It was only one Ninefold Heavenly Fate less than Ren Tianye.


    The ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates hovering in the sky exuded powerful forces from the heavens; so powerful that many disciples below were suffocating, and countless disciples began circting their Cultivation Techniques to feel somewhat better.


    And this was merely the pressure from the ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates.


    Bathed in the golden light of the ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates, Chen Zefang¡¯s entire body seemed to be gildedyer uponyer. He stood proudly between heaven and earth, looking at Yang Xiaotian with a piercing gaze, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, this is my Heavenly Fate; are you ready?¡±


    All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates, so what? They¡¯re not fourteen Ninefold Heavenly Fates,¡± Yang Xiaotian remarked indifferently.


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long the Sword God, and others could only smile wryly.


    This kid, really!


    There was just no knowing what to say to him.


    He actually looked down upon the Ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates.


    Chen Zefang was both angered and amused, bursting out inughter, ¡°Good, good! The rumors say that your Soul Ring is supremely invincible, a 200,000-year Soul Ring. Summon your Soul Ring then; I want to see whether the power of your 200,000-year Soul Ring is strong or my Ninefold Heavenly Fate is stronger!¡±


    At the mention of the 200,000-year Soul Ring by Chen Zefang, all the disciples were revitalized.


    Ever since the Son of ughter, Meng Bai, was scared witless, the rumors about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Ring had been buzzing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need the power of my Soul Ring to defeat you,¡± said Yang Xiaotian, his expression unchanged. ¡°I have also cultivated a Heavenly Fate; my single Heavenly Fate is enough to crush your ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates.¡±


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s statement, the scene was astir.


    ¡°What, Yang Xiaotian at only the second level of the Emperor Realm, has cultivated Heavenly Fate?!¡±


    ¡°Impossible! Only at the peak of the Emperor Realm can one cultivate Heavenly Fate; how could someone at the second level of the Emperor Realm cultivate Heavenly Fate!¡±


    Many disciples were in an uproar.


    Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and everyone else were greatly shocked.


    Cultivating Heavenly Fate at the second level of the Emperor Realm was unheard of.


    It was simply preposterous.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heavenly Fate is stronger than the Ninefold Heavenly Fate? That¡¯s impossible! The strongest Heavenly Fate in the world is the Ninefold Heavenly Fate!¡±


    ¡°Exactly, the Ninefold Heavenly Fate is the strongest in the world; there can¡¯t be a Heavenly Fate stronger than it!¡±


    Many disciples expressed their shock and disbelief, shaking their heads.


    Many disciples wore faces of skepticism.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Chen Zefang also wore a face of disbelief, as he fiercely activated the power of his ten Ninefold Heavenly Fates, and threw a punch towards Yang Xiaotian.


    Suddenly, the radiance of ten Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates surged, and the infinite power from the heavens, the power of the three supreme top-tier Martial Souls, and the power of the Myriad Beasts Godly Body roared forth from his fists.


    Boom!


    Space seemed to be struck by a cataclysmic blow, emitting a thunderous boom.


    Chen Zefang¡¯s fists created ten golden and terrifying invincible storms, upending every stone b on the za where his fists passed.


    Merely the roar of the golden storm was enough to make many disciples¡¯ ears ache painfully, and their minds buzz.


    ¡°Yang Xiaotian, if you have the guts, don¡¯t use the power of your Soul Ring. Let¡¯s see how you handle the power of Heavenly Fate!¡± Chen Zefang bellowed, appearing deranged.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, watching as the invincible storm formed by the other party¡¯s ten Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates barreled towards him, his face calm as he activated the Primordial Heaven Destiny of his Divine Sea.


    The moment Yang Xiaotian activated the Primordial Heaven Destiny of his Divine Sea, suddenly, the ground under everyone¡¯s feet shook violently.


    No one could stand steady.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± someone eximed in shock.


    Then they saw the air currents in the space grow wildly turbulent, as if terrorized by the emergence of something.


    And above Chen Zefang¡¯s head, the Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates were also restlessly agitated.


    Could Chen Zefang actually feel that his Ninth Layer Heavenly Fate was terrified?


    And all ten Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates were terrified!


    What was happening?


    What could possibly scare his Ninth Layer Heavenly Fate?


    As everyone was in a state of astonished confusion, suddenly, a golden radiance erupted from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s entire body.


    A supremely terrifying and massive Heavenly Fate emerged from his Divine Sea World.


    The moment this supremely terrifying and massive Heavenly Fate appeared, Chen Zefang¡¯s Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates started to tremble, crawl, andpletely lose their glow, as if their golden light was being utterly suppressed by some force,pletely dissipating.


    With Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heavenly Fate suspended in the sky, it resembled an aircraft carrier, while Chen Zefang¡¯s ten Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates looked like ten tiny boats, wavering as if they were about to be blown away, dispersed, and exploded at any moment.


    Everyone was shocked.


    ¡°What kind of Heavenly Fate is this? How can there be such a Heavenly Fate in the world?¡±


    ¡°One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred fifty miles!¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang was dumbfounded.


    Sword God Xi Long and Fist God Zhang Wanli were dumbfounded.


    Zeng Qianqian, Princess Wan Ning, and all the disciples, all the masters from the Azure God Mansion, were stunned as well.


    They had never imagined such a massive and iparable Heavenly Fate existed in the world.


    Chen Zefang¡¯s Ninth Layer Heavenly Fate measuring more than nine hundred miles was already huge, but now, even thebined length of Chen Zefang¡¯s ten Ninth Layer Heavenly Fates was not asrge as this one before them.


    As Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Heavenly Fate hung in the sky, Primordial Power fell like a waterfall, shaking mountains and splitting the earth.


    Feeling the Primordial Power, Zeng Yongjiang¡¯s face changed drastically, and a possibility came to mind, causing his whole body to tremble: ¡°This is above the heavens, Primordial Power!¡±


    ¡°Above the heavens!¡± Sword God Xi Long and Fist God Zhang Wanli, along with others, were severely shaken, thinking of an extremely ancient mythological legend.


    ¡°Primordial Heaven Destiny! This is the Primordial Heaven Destiny from the Primordial Space!¡±


    ¡°Goodness, he has invoked the Primordial Destiny Tribtion that has existed since ancient times!¡±


    An Ancient Ancestor spoke excitedly and incoherently.


    Primordial Heaven Destiny!


    Primordial Destiny Tribtion!


    Even though Ren Tianye, Chen Zefang, and others had not heard about Primordial Heaven Destiny or the Primordial Destiny Tribtion before, they now knew of the Primordial Space above the heavens.


    And they understood that Primordial Heaven Destiny was a Heavenly Fate stronger than the Ninth Layer Heavenly Fate!


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s shock, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch.


    Primordial Power burst forth from his fist.


    Chen Zefang¡¯s ten Ninth Layer Heavenly Fate powers were instantly shattered!

 Chapter 482: 482: Yang Xiaotian, Summon Your Martial Soul and Soul Ring!

    Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Yang Xiaotian, Summon Your Martial Soul and Soul Ring!


    Chen Zefang, with the strength of three supreme pinnacle Martial Souls and the power of the Myriad Beasts Godly Body, was utterly scattered like bubbles.


    Primordial Power, with an unstoppable momentum, sted towards Chen Zefang.


    Chen Zefang was in a state of utter panic, his fists pounding out frantically while simultaneously summoning a blue light shield in front of him.


    ¡°Azure Guardian!¡±


    The Azure Guardian was a divine shield from ancient times.


    Bang!


    The Primordial Power struck the Azure Guardian.


    The Azure Guardian was blown away.


    Chen Zefang was blown away with it.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    Like a withered leaf, Chen Zefang was swept out violently.


    He was sted up, not knowing how many mountains and pces he had smashed through before crashing down on a mountain peak, blood spewing ceaselessly, the Azure Guardian dimmed and devoid of light.


    The Divine Light and shadows of Divine Beasts on his body vanished abruptly.


    Ten heavenly Paths of the Nine Heavens flickered like candlelight, on the verge of scattering.


    The sound of rolling rocks lingered for a long time.


    All the disciples gasped in shock.


    ¡°Once Primordial Power is unleashed, invincibility ensues!¡± an Ancient Ancestor murmured.


    These words came from some ancient Divine Tome.


    Only now did he truly understand the real meaning of those words.


    All was silent between heaven and earth.


    Yang Xiaotian stood there, enveloped in Eternal Divine Light, with Primordial Heaven Destiny above his head.


    ¡°Is he about to achieve the status of the Eternal Primordial Divine God?¡± The experts of Azure God Mansion were indescribably shaken.


    Zeng Yongjiang and Xi Long were at a loss for words themselves.


    An Eternal Divine Body had already amazed the world, and now, the emergence of Primordial Heaven Destiny!


    This was truly¡ª


    They were at a loss for words!


    Even Chen Zefang, at tenyers of pinnacle Emperor Realm, possessing ten paths of Nine Heavens Heavenly Fate, three supreme pinnacle Martial Souls and the Myriad Beasts Godly Body, was nearly sted to pieces!


    Invincible!


    Now, the sole feeling everyone had was invincibility!


    If Chen Zefang hadn¡¯t used the divine-level shield to block, he might have been obliterated.


    If even the mighty Chen Zefang could be obliterated, who could withstand Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Primordial Heaven Destiny!


    ¡°So it turns out, everything he said before was true,¡± a disciple trembled as he spoke.


    Earlier, when Yang Xiaotian imed that one of his heavenly Paths was enough to crush Chen Zefang¡¯s ten paths of Nine Heavens Heavenly Fate, people didn¡¯t believe it.


    Now, everyone believed it.


    It turned out that in this world, a single Heavenly Fate could indeed crush ten paths of Nine Heavens Heavenly Fate.


    ¡°I wonder what Martial Soul and Soul Rings Divine Yang has!¡± a disciple suddenly stammered.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Rings remained a mystery. Now, having witnessed the power of the Eternal Divine Body and the Primordial Heaven Destiny, everyone was even more curious about Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Rings.


    Previously, people did not believe the rumors about Yang Xiaotian possessing a 200,000-year Soul Ring, but now they were firmly convinced that his Soul Rings were 200,000 years old.


    In their eyes, if Yang Xiaotian could create miracles like the Eternal Divine Body and Primordial Heaven Destiny, then having a 200,000-year Soul Ring seemed normal.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian turned his gaze towards Ren Tianye, the Son of Azure God, who had not yet made a move: ¡°Ren Tianye, it¡¯s your turn.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Ren Tianye.


    Ren Tianye,ing back from his shock, had an ugly expression on his face.


    Yang Xiaotian, a mere second level of the Emperor Realm, had actually cultivated a Primordial Heaven Destiny he had never heard of!


    His fists were clenched tightly.


    These days, many disciples of Azure God Mansion were saying that Yang Xiaotian, not him, would take over Azure God Mansion in the future!


    So these days, his heart held more than dissatisfaction towards Yang Xiaotian; he considered Yang Xiaotian a rival who would snatch away the position of Mansion Master from him.


    Suddenly, Ren Tianye¡¯s entire body surged with power.


    Everyone saw streaks of astonishing light descending from the Nine Heavens, followed by earthen-yellow glows emerging from the ground and continuously gathering towards Ren Tianye.


    Ren Tianye¡¯s body was alternating with Divine Light, and a force from Heaven and Earth emanated from him.


    He stood there as if he hadpletely fused with the sky and the earth.


    He was the sky, and he was the earth.


    ¡°Heaven and Earth God Body!¡± Seeing Ren Tianye¡¯s transformation, everyone was shaken, even Zeng Yongjiang and Sword God Xi Long¡¯s expressions changed.


    Heaven and Earth God Body, that was the Divine Body possessed by the Lord of Azure God in the past!


    imed to be the strongest Divine Body on the Azure God Continent.


    Ren Tianye seemed like the Lord of Azure God reincarnated, his body surging with Divine Light, as all eleven stripes of Nine Heavens Destiny flew out, permeated by golden light.


    Just as the eleven stripes of Nine Heavens Destiny flew out, suddenly, the space around Ren Tianye began to shake, the earth trembled, and a pulse that made hearts skip radiated out from Ren Tianye¡¯s body.


    The elders of the Azure God Mansion were taken aback; what was this?


    Suddenly, a Martial Soul as immense as the Ancient Divine Mountain burst forth from Ren Tianye¡¯s body.


    When this Martial Soul, which resembled the Ancient Divine Mountain, emerged, an aura of the Supreme King overwhelmed everything, causing the Martial Souls deep within the souls of everyone present to tremble.


    All they saw was Ren Tianye¡¯s Martial Soul, which was an enormously huge ck Bear.


    But this ck Bear had two horns growing on its head.


    A terrifyingly invincible presence emanated from the ck Bear.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    ¡°It¡¯s the Supreme King!¡±


    ¡°This is the Supreme King Martial Soul!¡±


    An ancestor from the Azure God Mansion, feeling the Supreme King aura from Ren Tianye¡¯s Martial Soul, cried out in shock.


    Everyone was taken aback, shocked.


    ¡°The Supreme King, it¡¯s actually the Supreme King!¡± Sword God Xi Long was also greatly astounded.


    ¡°The Supreme King!¡± Zeng Qianqian, looking at Ren Tianye¡¯s Supreme King Martial Soul, lost color in her pretty face.


    No wonder when she asked her great-grandfather about Ren Tianye¡¯s Martial Soul, he remained tight-lipped.


    Turns out, it was the Supreme King Martial Soul!


    At that moment, suddenly, around the body of the ck Bear, a red halo that was purplish appeared, and beyond that halo, there was another faint red halo.


    The red halo represented a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.


    But Ren Tianye¡¯s Soul Rings featured two red halos, one fainter than the other.


    ¡°Nearly a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring! This, this is nearly a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring!¡± Everyone seeing Ren Tianye¡¯s Soul Ring was astounded.


    Even though Zeng Yongjiang had already known about Ren Tianye¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Rings, seeing them again still could not conceal his astonishment.


    This was the Supreme King Martial Soul and nearly a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring.


    The only one in the world!


    ¡°Nearly a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring!¡± Everyone peered at Ren Tianye¡¯s Soul Ring, shaken for a long while.


    ¡°Senior Brother is invincible!¡± Suddenly, a disciple shouted excitedly.


    ¡°Senior Brother is invincible!¡± Many disciples following Ren Tianye shouted hoarsely.


    The entire Azure God Mansion was vibrating because of Ren Tianye¡¯s Martial Soul and Soul Ring.


    The power of the nearly twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring enveloped Heaven and Earth, which then grew heavy.


    Ren Tianye stood there, staring at Yang Xiaotian with ferventbativeness in his eyes, ¡°Yang Xiaotian, summon your Martial Soul and Soul Rings. I refuse to believe that your Soul Rings truly are twenty-thousand years old!¡±


    Everyone held their breath.


    Were Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Soul Rings really twenty-thousand years old?


    Zeng Yongjiang, Xi Long, and others all stared at Yang Xiaotian unwaveringly.


    Zeng Qianqian and Wan Ning were also intently focused on Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re so eager to see my Martial Soul and Soul Rings, as you wish,¡± Yang Xiaotian said calmly.


    As his words fell, space began to tremble violently, and the air started to boil.


    Suddenly, the world became dark.


    Everyone saw, a Martial Soul many timesrger than the Ancient Divine Mountain emerging from Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body.

 Chapter 484: 484 Trouble in Myriad Gods Imperial City

    Chapter 484: Chapter 484 Trouble in Myriad Gods Imperial City


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, all the ancestors from Azure God Mansion were visibly rxed, as if they had survived a catastrophe.


    A disciple of the Emperor Realm actually made them feel like they had escaped from death¡¯s clutches.


    Yang Xiaotian took back the Primordial Heaven Destiny, then came before Zeng Yongjiang, and with a fist held in the other hand, he said, ¡°Mansion Master, I have won this challenge, haven¡¯t I?¡±


    Zeng Yongjiang swallowed hard, struggling to calm the storm in his heart. He looked at Yang Xiaotian, his gaze changing over and over again, and with a bitter smile, he admitted, ¡°You have won.¡±


    He had imagined all possible oues of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s challenge against all the core disciples of the Divine Mansion, but he never considered this one.


    Sword God Xi Long, Fist God Zhang Wanli, and others looked towards Yang Xiaotian with various expressions on their faces.


    Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Zeng Yongjiang handed over all the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and top-grade Spirit Stones that were to be awarded to Yang Xiaotian.


    Yang Xiaotian received the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, his heart bursting with joy.


    With so many Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, he could bear even more of the Primordial Heaven Destiny.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    He safely stored away the Heavenly Fate Divine Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and Spirit Stones.


    However, even though he had summoned the Abyssal Master¡¯s Soul Ring this time, it seemed the Azure Bear was not alerted. Could it be that the Azure Bear has entered the deepest space of Azure God Mansion and closed the life-and-death passage?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Just then, suddenly, an ancestor from the Azure God Mansion flew over in a panic, saying to Zeng Yongjiang, ¡°Mansion Master, we have received news from the Myriad Gods Imperial City: the masters of the four great Demon Sects are leading an army of a hundred million to attack the Myriad Gods Imperial City!¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Everyone was startled.


    The masters of the four great Demon Sects were actually leading a hundred million-strong army to attack the Myriad Gods Imperial City!


    The Myriad Gods Empire was the first empire on the Azure God Continent, and the Myriad Gods Imperial City was of utmost importance to the continent.


    If the Myriad Gods Imperial City were to fall, it would be catastrophic for the people of the Azure God Continent.


    Upon hearing that the masters of the four great Demon Sects were leading an army of a hundred million to attack the Myriad Gods Imperial City, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression changed, and he soared into the sky at full speed, rushing back to the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    Seeing Yang Xiaotian¡¯s reaction, Zeng Yongjiang quickly said to Sword God Xi Long, Saber God Zhao Feng, and others, ¡°Hurry! Gather the army immediately and lead them to the Imperial Capital to provide support!¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, send orders to the surrounding empires and city masters, all must rush to support the Myriad Gods Imperial City!¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Gods Imperial City must not fall at any cost!¡±


    Sword God Xi Long, Saber God Zhao Feng, and the others, knowing the urgency of the situation, mobilized the Azure God Mansion¡¯s army with all their might.


    Soon, the sounds of horns echoed throughout the Azure God Mansion.


    Countless armies from all over the Azure God Mansion were now streaming towards this location.


    ¡°Great Ancestor, I want to go too!¡± Zeng Qianqian came forward to Zeng Yongjiang and said urgently.


    Zeng Yongjiang looked at the extremely anxious Zeng Qianqian and Wan Ning, and nodded, ¡°Good, any disciple of the Azure God Mansion who still has the strength to fight and wishes to go, shall go!¡±


    Only by surviving life-and-death ordeals can these disciples of the Azure God Mansion truly and rapidly grow.


    So, not long after Yang Xiaotian left the Azure God Mansion, one after another, army spaceships flew out of the Azure God Mansion, speeding towards the Myriad Gods Imperial City at full speed.


    Yang Xiaotian arrived at the agreed location with the Dark Dragon and shouted, ¡°Old Long, something has happened to the Myriad Gods Imperial City, get on board, let¡¯s go!¡±


    Suddenly, a ck figure soared into the sky andnded on the Abyssal Spaceship, the Dark Dragon.


    Yang Xiaotian drove the Abyssal Spaceship at full speed, rushing back towards the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    The Abyssal Spaceship turned into a streak of light, continuously tearing through the void, closing in on the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    Propelled by the top-grade Spirit Stones, the speed of the Abyssal Spaceship was so fast that it was astonishing, but Yang Xiaotian, standing within the spaceship, still felt anxious as if the spaceship was too slow.


    At that moment, outside the gates of the Myriad Gods Imperial City, one could see an endless sea of Undying Wraith Army and Yin Ghost Army, spanning as far as the eye could see, like waves, reaching the horizon.


    The Myriad Gods Imperial City was boundlessly vast, with walls stretching for countless miles, yet at this moment, the countless Undying Wraiths and Yin Ghost Army had every inch of the city wall under siege, leaving no room for escape.


    Countless death spirits and yin ghosts were frantically bombarding the city walls.


    Inside the Imperial Capital, the Empire¡¯s billion-strong army was ferociously repelling wave after wave of death spirits and yin ghosts.


    But there were simply too many death spirits and yin ghosts, as soon as one wave was pushed back, another surged forward.


    Even though the billion-strong army of the Myriad Gods Empire was protected by the Imperial Capital¡¯s wards, the sight of those endless swarms of unkible death spirits and yin ghosts was hair-raising.


    At this moment, within the Imperial Capital, representatives from all businesses, sects, and family experts hade to the city walls, jointly striking out against the billions of death spirits and yin ghosts.


    Everyone knew that if the city gates were breached, no one within the Imperial Capital would be spared.


    Therefore, everyone was fighting desperately, frically attacking the surging death spirits and yin ghosts.


    Great Emperor Myriad Gods Wan Guangfeng and all the ancestors of the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce had also arrived above the city gates,unching attacks.


    The people of the Divine Residence Mansion also came out to support the Empire Army, alongside the major families.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape guarded the Yang Family members closely, swinging a myriad-feet long ck crystal iron chain, shattering waves of death spirits and yin ghosts.


    Even the reclusive ancestors of the Myriad Gods Imperial Pce, Wan Shiwei and the Medicine God Feng Yiming, had made an appearance, and with each palm strike in the depths of the void, they annihted arge swath of death spirits.


    As everyone continued to y the swarming death spirits and yin ghosts, suddenly, a Pce expert hurriedly approached Wan Guangfeng and reported, ¡°Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, the Patriarch of the He Family has gone mad and is leading his people in attacking our Pce experts!¡±


    ¡°What!¡± Wan Guangfeng¡¯s face changed.


    The He Family was also a super-major family within the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    If the He Family rebelled and started a massacre within the Imperial Capital, it would certainly be a malignant tumor.


    ¡°The experts of the He Family all have ck demonic qi emerging from their chests,¡± the Pce expert continued.


    Dao Heart Demon Seed!


    Wan Guangfeng¡¯s expression darkened.


    He finally understood why the He Family¡¯s experts were going mad.


    Just then, another Pce expert arrived to report that the experts of the Zhang Family had also gone mad and were attacking Pce experts, with ck demonic qi also emanating from their chests.


    The Zhang Family!


    Another super-major family.


    ¡°Kill! Kill all those afflicted by the Dao Heart Demon Seed!¡± ordered Wan Guangfeng coldly.


    The He and Zhang families usually had a good rtionship with the Myriad Gods Imperial n, but at this moment, if they did not suppress the He and Zhang families, the Imperial Capital would be thrown into chaos and disaster would ensue.


    So, he didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    As the Pce experts were suppressing the rebellious He and Zhang family experts, suddenly, a strange sound of a flute arose.


    The flute¡¯s sound carried an invisible force and, despite the Imperial Capital¡¯s wards, prated the ears of everyone in the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    Everyone felt a severe headache, as if thousands of needles were pricking them.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Yin Souls Sound!¡± Wan Guangfeng¡¯s face changed.


    The Yin Souls Sound was the supreme technique of the ancient Yin Souls Sect.


    This Demon Sound was formless and immeasurable, terrifyingly powerful, and the only way to counter it was to find the source and kill them.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that even experts from the Yin Souls Sect had joined the four major Demon Sects.


    With the continuous echo of the Yin Souls Sound, affected by it, people¡¯s offensive slowed, and countless death spirits and yin ghosts surged onto the city walls.

 Chapter 485: 485 The Young Master Has Returned

    Chapter 485: Chapter 485 The Young Master Has Returned


    At this moment, atop a mountain peak outside the Imperial Capital, Yan Ping, the Son Nether God, watched countless Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts surge over the city walls of the Imperial Capital. He smiled coldly, his eyes brimming with the color of bloodlust.


    ¡°Spread the word, after breaking through the Imperial Capital, the first to be eradicated shall be everyone from the Divine Residence!¡± Yan Ping told his subordinates from the Nether Sect.


    ¡°Yes, Sect Leader!¡±


    The Yin Souls Sound continued to prate the minds of the people in the Imperial Capital, causing them to suffer splitting headaches.


    More and more Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts swarmed over the city walls of the Imperial Capital.


    Just as the city walls seemed on the verge of being overrun by the Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts, suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar of a dragon pierced through heaven and earth.


    It was the sound of the dragon¡¯s roar that formed ten huge dragon-shaped soundwaves.


    Wherever the dragon-shaped soundwaves passed, countless Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts were scattered, blown into fragments.


    From a distance, ten massive paths were plowed through the army of millions of Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    Hearing the earth-shattering roar of the dragon, everyone turned in amazement.


    A colossal flying ship was seen crashing into the midst of the millions-strong army of Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts.


    Under the fearsome power of the ship¡¯s collision, waves of Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts were sent flying and exploding.


    At the bow of the ship stood an exceptional youth about fifteen or sixteen years of age, and by his side was a tall figure in ck.


    Upon seeing this youth, Yan Ping¡¯s face changed as if he had seen his nemesis, his previous smugness and arrogance vanishingpletely.


    The neer was none other than Yang Xiaotian.


    In the Imperial Capital, the appearance of the flying ship and Yang Xiaotian brought joy and surprise to the people.


    ¡°It¡¯s Brother!¡±


    ¡°Father, Mother, Brother has returned!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er eximed joyfully as she saw Yang Xiaotian, her face beaming with happiness.


    Yang Chao and Huang Ying, too, were filled with delight upon seeing Yang Xiaotian.


    ¡°The Young Master has returned!¡±


    ¡°Kill! y these damned curs!¡± bellowed the Heartfelt Demon Ape, its shout reverberating through the sky. The ck Crystal Iron Chains in its hands whooshed and swirled, smashing wave after wave of Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts to pieces.


    At that moment, Yang Xiaotian leaped into the air from the flying ship, letting out a mighty cry. He activated the Primordial Dragon Art with all his might and instantly, a hundred thousand True Essence Dragons flew out, coiling around him.


    The united roars of the hundred thousand True Essence Dragons resonated, sting away all nearby Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts.


    Within a hundred miles around Yang Xiaotian, a vacuum was formed.


    Immediately afterward, Yang Xiaotian threw his fists forward.


    Bang bang bang bang!


    A series of dense explosive sounds erupted as the Power of Time apanied his punches, striking toward the ends of the sky. Wherever his power passed, the Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts were turned into granules of time.


    The people of the Imperial Capital were shaken as they witnessed this scene.


    ¡°Excellent!¡±


    ¡°Divine Yang of the Myriad Gods Empire!¡±


    Some family disciples cheered, waving their arms in enthusiasm.


    But at that moment, an endless horde of Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts lunged towards Yang Xiaotian.


    These Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts let out mournful howls as a boundless sea of death and ghostly energy formed, seeking to devour Yang Xiaotian.


    Watching the approaching Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes shed with an icy sheen. Twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty miles of his Primordial Heaven Destiny flew out, spinning around his body as he continuously unleashed punches.


    In that instant, Yang Xiaotian threw hundreds of punches.


    In all directions.


    The power of the Primordial Heaven Destiny roared outwards.


    All the Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts that lunged toward him were obliterated, reduced to dust.


    Everyone who saw the twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty miles of the Primordial Heaven Destiny above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head were astounded.


    Even the Great Emperor Myriad Gods Wan Guangfeng, the Ancient Ancestor of Myriad Gods Wan Shiwei, and the Medicine God Feng Yiming were startled.


    Yan Ping, the Son Nether God, the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, the Evil Buddha, and a host of experts were incredulous at the sight of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heaven-sent destiny.


    ¡°Nine hundred li of Heavenly Fate, what kind of Heavenly Fate is this! How could it be so immense!¡±


    One after another, peerless powerhouses were all stunned.


    ¡°This is the Primordial Heaven Destiny! Above the high heavens, the Primordial!¡±


    An extremely ancient Ancient Ancestor was so excited he was speaking incoherently, ¡°The Divine Tome of Creation states, when Primordial emerges, it is unrivaled under the heavens!¡±


    ¡°The Primordial Heaven Destiny has appeared!¡±


    As the voice of this extremely ancient Ancient Ancestor rose excitedly, everyone was shaken.


    ¡°Primordial Heaven Destiny! There really is a Primordial Heaven Destiny in this world!¡±


    Wan Shiwei was also so excited that he was teary-eyed as he howled, ¡°It¡¯s the Primordial Heaven Destiny, heaven bless our Azure God Continent!¡±


    ¡°Heaven bless our Azure God Continent!¡± One after another, n ancestors and Sect Ancestors were shouting excitedly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill these bastards for me!¡±


    ¡°The young master is invincible!¡± The Heartfelt Demon Ape roared even louder.


    Yan Ping and others of the Nether Sect, who heard that Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Primordial Heaven Destiny, were scared out of their wits.


    ¡°Primordial Heaven Destiny, this, this!¡± The Corpse Demon felt its mind buzzing.


    This kid was already abnormal enough, and now he has even cultivated the Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    If he continued to grow, how could this be allowed?


    ¡°Kill, at all costs, kill him!¡± Son of the Nether God, Yan Ping, suppressed the shock in his heart and furiouslymanded the experts of the Yin Souls Sect to use the Yin Souls Sound specifically to deal with Yang Xiaotian.


    Suddenly, the invisible and immeasurable Yin Souls Sound formed billions of invisible needles, stabbing towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s soul.


    However, the terrifying Yin Souls Sound had absolutely no effect on Yang Xiaotian, as he continued to bombard the surrounding Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts.


    His fists kept pounding out.


    Furthermore, Yang Xiaotian activated the True Essence Power from his Dantian and all acupoints.


    One thousand two hundred ny-six golden pirs soared into the sky, turning the world into a golden hue, such that not even the deathly aura and ghostly qi from billions of Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts could obscure these pirs or the golden light they emitted.


    Within dozens of breaths, Yang Xiaotian had already punched out tens of thousands of times!


    It was clear that Yang Xiaotian¡¯s punching speed was so fast, from afar one could only catch glimpses of the afterimages of his punches.


    Fast!


    Unbelievably fast!


    Strong, incredibly strong! No Death Spirits or Yin Ghosts could withstand the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Primordial Heaven Destiny, nor could they withstand the Power of Time of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Eternal Divine Body.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The Dark Dragon kept guard beside Yang Xiaotian, also throwing punches non-stop, each one inevitably reaching the ends of the sky.


    The terrifying waves of the Dark Dragon¡¯s punches formed a boundless Dark Sea.


    The experts in the Imperial Capital were all shocked by the Dark Dragon¡¯s strength.


    Yang Xiaotian, tired of the killing, directly summoned his Martial Soul and Soul Ring.


    Suddenly, the heavens and earth darkened, and a ck golden me Giant Dragon Martial Soul, many timesrger than the Ancient Divine Mountain, flew out, emanating a Supreme King¡¯s aura that overwhelmed the world.


    ¡°This is, the Supreme King, the Supreme King Martial Soul!¡± The Medicine God, Feng Yiming, stammered.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually the Supreme King!¡± The Great Emperor Myriad Gods, Wan Guangfeng, was shocked.


    About Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul, the experts from all sides of the Myriad Gods Empire had been specting these days, but now everyone finally saw Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Martial Soul.


    With that, around the body of the ck golden me Giant Dragon, a Golden-red Soul Ring appeared.


    Within the Golden-red Soul Ring, the immense dark form of the Abyssal Master materialized.


    The innumerable Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts seemed endless, but at that moment, the figure of the Abyssal Master appeared in the sky, almostpletely obscuring the innumerable Death Spirits and Yin Ghosts.


    The boundless power of the Abyssal Master, causing the earth to crack and everyone to suffocate.


    It even made the walls of the Imperial Capital tremble.

 Chapter 487: 487: Carrying the Primordial Heaven Destiny Again

    Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Carrying the Primordial Heaven Destiny Again


    Seeing that he was far enough from the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian finally activated the power of his Divine Sea and mmed into the heavens, then he advanced triumphantly and reached the ninthyer of the upper realm.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea once again struck towards the boundary wall at the end of the ninthyer¡¯s space.


    With past experience, this time he was on familiar ground, continually urging the power of the Divine Sea to bombard the boundary wall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Boom boom boom!


    A series of dense booming sounds kept echoing.


    Yang Xiaotian was like wielding a giant hammer, incessantly pounding at the Primordial Boundary Wall, causing it to tremble non-stop.


    Compared tost time, the True Essence Power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea had be much more profound, so breaking open the Primordial Boundary Wall was a lot easier this time.


    Last time, he had to strike it four thousand times before the Primordial Boundary Wall showed any cracks, but this time, after only two thousand strikes, cracks began to appear.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    Seeing the cracks forming, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed and intensified his power to strike.


    Finally, with a ¡°ping!¡± sound, the Primordial Boundary Wall waspletely shattered.


    The power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea surged in like a breach in a dike, continuously flowing into the Primordial Space.


    Just as the power of Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea gushed into the Primordial Space, thunder roared and lightning shed, with countless thunderclouds frantically converging, and the astounding power of Heavenly Tribtion permeated the air.


    Feeling the power of the Tribtion Thunder, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression slightly changed.


    This Primordial Destiny Tribtion was obviously much stronger than the first one.


    ¡°As your strength increases in the future, the power of the Primordial Destiny Tribtion will be stronger and stronger,¡± Master Ding¡¯s voice inappropriately chimed in: ¡°Heh heh, kid, just wait to be hammered.¡±


    It was clear that Master Ding was taking pleasure in his misfortune.


    Yang Xiaotian simply rolled his eyes at the old man.


    With a solemn expression, he watched the thunderclouds still gathering in the high sky.


    Originally, he thought that this Primordial Destiny Tribtion would be as easy to ovee as thest one, but it turned out to be much stronger.


    It seemed that another tough battle was waiting ahead!


    Remembering how he was pummeled to the ground by the Primordial Destiny Tribtionst time and couldn¡¯t move, Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and his True Yuan circted throughout his body.


    The thunderclouds continued to grow explosively.


    Heaven and Earth fell intoplete darkness.


    Darker than thest time.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, without any warning, within the rage of the expanding thunderclouds, countless powers of Tribtion Thunder converged and struck down.


    As the Tribtion Thunder struck, Heaven and Earth instantly brightened.


    The heart-palpitating power instantly reached above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s head.


    Fast!


    It was just too fast!


    Even though Yang Xiaotian was already prepared, by the time he reacted, the Tribtion Thunder had already reached above his head.


    Without thinking, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s fists struck out reflexively in an instant.


    Boom!


    Yang Xiaotian only felt an intense shock throughout his body as he was sted into the ground.


    A humming sound.


    The power of the Tribtion Thunder exploded, scattering everything in the vicinity.


    It was like a super nuclear bomb had fallen, with terrifying sand waves rising in thousands and tens of thousands ofyers, obscuring the sky and sun, like the end of the world.


    Yang Xiaotian shook off the dust from his body and had just stood up when the second bolt of Tribtion Thunder struck down again.


    This time, he directly summoned the Primordial Heaven Destiny and frantically stimted the power of Primordial Heaven Destiny, his fists striking out.


    Boom!


    Even with the bolstering power of the Primordial Heaven Destiny, Yang Xiaotian was still sted into the depths of the earth.


    Damn!


    Seeing himself eating dirt once again after being sted away, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of irritation. He burst forth from the ground and put on the Hand of Azure God. Under the activation of his Eternal Divine Body and Divine Sea Power, the Hand of Azure God erupted withyers of Divine Light.


    ¡°Hum!¡± With that sound, the thirdyer of Heavenly Tribtion thunder descended,pressing the immense space, humming continuously, with shockwaves tumbling.


    After Yang Xiaotian withstood the third wave of Heavenly Tribtion, the fourth wave followed closely!


    The fifth wave!


    The sixth wave of Heavenly Tribtion thunder!


    One wave after another of Destiny¡¯s Tribtion Thunder crashed down.


    Yang Xiaotian fought with all his might, and in the end, he even summoned his two million-year-old Soul Rings.


    After finally shattering the tenth wave of Tribtion Thunder, Yang Xiaotiany on the ground, his body bruised and bleeding, utterly exhausted, not wanting to move an inch.


    Of course, he couldn¡¯t move, even if he wanted to.


    Originally, he thought that after breaking through to the mid-phase of the secondyer of the Emperor Realm, and having a strand of Primordial Heaven Destiny, his strength had greatly increased, and he could easily transcend the Primordial Destiny Tribtion. Therefore, he didn¡¯t forge Divine Armor, not expecting to still be caught off guard.


    Damn it.


    Luckily, there were only ten waves. If there had been one more wave of Tribtion Thunder, he wouldn¡¯t have survived.


    After the tenth wave of Tribtion Thunder was shattered, Primordial Power surged into Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body, continuously gathering in his Divine Sea World. Momentster, the second strand of Primordial Heaven Destiny was finally formed.


    With the formation of the second strand of Primordial Heaven Destiny, its power caused Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea World to shake uncontrobly.


    But the True Essence in Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea was dense enough, and his Divine Sea World was so solidly forged that it could fully bear the power of two strands of Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    It didn¡¯t matter how much the two strands of Primordial Heaven Destiny thrashed about; nothing went wrong.


    The two strands of Primordial Heaven Destiny swam freely above Yang Xiaotian¡¯s Divine Sea World.


    After resting for a while, once Yang Xiaotian could move again, he swallowed a mouthful of sixfold Heavenly Tribtion Thunder Water, activated the Origin Dragon Technique, and his injuries gradually healed.


    Yang Xiaotian stood up, stretched his limbs to loosen them up, and considered summoning the two strands of Primordial Heaven Destiny to test their power. In the end, he suppressed the urge.


    Thest time, the power of a single strand of Primordial Heaven Destiny was enough to destroy everything around, and the power of two strands would likely be even more devastating, possibly affecting human cities.


    Yang Xiaotian tidied himself up, put on clothes sewn by his mother, and flew back to the Imperial Capital.


    Although his Divine Sea World was now extremely solid, his Divine Sea True Essence was still far from enough to bear a third strand of Primordial Heaven Destiny. Therefore, he had to wait to break through to the thirdyer of the Emperor Realm before he could undertake a third strand of Primordial Heaven Destiny.


    By the time Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Residence, the sky was already bright.


    ¡°Brother, where did you go? I¡¯ve been looking for you for so long,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er walked over from afar.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would take me to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt Soul Beasts once I broke through to Martial Emperor?¡± Yang Ling¡¯er happily smiled, ¡°I broke through to Martial Emperorst night.¡± She said, releasing her Martial Emperor aura.


    Yang Xiaotian was surprised, not expecting the girl to break through to Emperor Realm so quickly, and heughed, ¡°Alright, then prepare yourself, we will go to the Soul Beast Forest tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Brother, I want to go right away,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er shook Yang Xiaotian¡¯s arm.


    Clearly, she couldn¡¯t wait to have her own Soul Rings.


    Yang Xiaotian was shaken back and forth andughed helplessly, ¡°We still need to have breakfast before we go, right?¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er smiled sweetly, then leaned in and said, ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t we take Qianqian and Sister Ning with us?¡±


    Yang Xiaotian felt a headacheing on. If Zeng Qianqian and Wan Ning came along, the three girls together would make it impossible for him to focus on cultivation.


    ¡°I think we better not. It¡¯s a long journey, and Qianqian and Sister Wan Ning need to cultivate,¡± Yang Xiaotian said.


    ¡°Alright then,¡± Yang Ling¡¯er did not insist further.


    This relieved Yang Xiaotian.


    Momentster, after having breakfast made by their mother Huang Ying, they left the Imperial Capital for the Soul Beast Forest.


    (Finally hit a million words! Cheers!)

 Chapter 488: 488 Brother Xiaotian

    Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Brother Xiaotian


    This time, Yang Xiaotian headed to the Soul Beast Forest with few people, bringing only the Heartfelt Demon Ape and Dark Dragon.


    However, when passing by the Azure God Mansion, Yang Xiaotian made a trip back to the mansion.


    Last time Zeng Yongjiang said that if he was among the top ten in the greatpetition of the Divine Mansion, he would be rewarded with an additional Divine Level Elixir, which Zeng Yongjiang had not given to him yet.


    Therefore, his return to the Azure God Mansion was to im that Divine Level Elixir from Zeng Yongjiang.


    Zeng Yongjiang, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian return, didn¡¯t say another word and promptly gave him the Divine Level Elixir.


    Yang Xiaotian didn¡¯t linger any longer, took the Divine Level Elixir, and urged his sister and Dark Dragon to continue the journey.


    After all, their trip to the Soul Beast Forest was not short, and they had to hurry.


    However, when passing through the borders of some coastal empires, they saw the empires¡¯ borders heavily guarded, as if facing a formidable enemy.


    Upon seeing this, the Heartfelt Demon Ape said, ¡°Lately, the coastal regions of the Azure God Continent haven¡¯t been very peaceful, with overseas countries frequentlying to invade and plunder resources.¡±<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    ¡°Overseas countries?¡± Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow.


    He had been cultivating in seclusion recently and hadn¡¯t paid attention to these matters.


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape nodded, ¡°In recent years, with the Undying Death God and Nether Sect causing chaos, overseas countries see opportunities to frequentlye to our Azure God Continent¡¯s coastal regions to plunder resources.¡±


    Upon mentioning the overseas countries, Dark Dragon¡¯s eyes turned cold with obvious disgust, ¡°The overseas countries harbor wolf-like ambitions. They¡¯ve never been at peace, routinelying to our Azure God Continent to plunder resources.¡±


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape shook his head, ¡°Although the overseas countries are annoying, their strength is not weak, and even the Azure God Mansion is helpless against them. Even Lord Azure God himself couldn¡¯t resolve the hidden dangers from overseas.¡±


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    He was somewhat familiar with the overseas countries.


    Beyond the Azure God Continent lies the Boundless Sea Domain.


    Within the Boundless Sea Domain, there reside a hundred thousand great nations.


    These nations have always been covetous of the Azure God Continent, often sending troops to invade the coastal nations of the Azure God Continent. Sometimes, they even attack coastal cities and plunder the materials within.


    Moreover, what¡¯s infuriating is that after these people plunder the city¡¯s materials, upon seeing beautiful women, they would abduct them directly.


    The fate of these beautiful women is easily imaginable; they are typically vited to death.


    Furthermore, if the merchant fleets from the Azure God Continent set sail, and if the overseas countries find out, they will send troops to pirate these merchant fleets.


    Thus, the Azure God Continent and the overseas countries have long-standing grievances.


    ¡°Overseas countries,¡± Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.


    When he was to head to the Myriad Swords Continent, he would have to cross the Boundless Sea Domain, definitely passing by the overseas countries.


    Driven by supreme Spirit Stones, the Abyssal Spaceship steadily approached the Soul Beast Forest.


    Yang Xiaotian fed the Divine Level Elixir given by Zeng Yongjiang directly to the Life God Tree, and after two days, it bore two Life God Fruits.


    Therefore, while on the road, Yang Xiaotian consumed a Life God Fruit to cultivate.


    Along the way, the Demon Ape and Dark Dragon provided guidance to Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s cultivation.


    With instruction from two experts, Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, whether in swordsmanship or other Divine Skills.


    After Yang Xiaotian absorbed two Life God Fruits, the group finally arrived at the Soul Beast Forest.


    However, after breaking through to the middle phase of the Emperor Realm¡¯s second level, advancing further became even more challenging, and only after absorbing two Life God Fruits did Yang Xiaotian break through to the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm¡¯s second levelte phase.


    He was still half a step away from the Emperor Realm third level.


    ¡°Young Master, ahead lies the Soul Beast Forest,¡± the Demon Ape called out from outside the chamber.


    Yang Xiaotian emerged from the secret chamber and gazed at the Soul Beast Forest before him, memories of hunting the Abyssal Master years ago flooding his thoughts.


    The scenes from that time were vivid in his mind, and in the blink of an eye, years had passed.


    He stowed away the Abyssal Spaceship and flew through the air with several others.


    The Soul Beast Forest was the same as it had always been, with hardly any changes. Along the way, they saw disciples hunting soul beasts throughout the forest.


    These disciples came from the Buddha Source Empire, the Divine Dragon Empire, and even the Myriad Gods Empire.


    Since Yang Xiaotian needed to select a soul beast over a hundred thousand years old for his sister this time, they kept flying deeper into the Soul Beast Forest.


    Dusk slowly descended.


    Yang Xiaotian nced at the sky and said, ¡°Let¡¯s find a ce to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow.¡±


    They found a mountainous area, built a campfire, and the Demon Ape hunted a small soul beast to roast over the fire.


    The aroma was tantalizing.


    Yang Xiaotian carved a leg from the beast and handed it to his sister, Yang Ling¡¯er.


    As they were feasting, they saw a group of disciples approaching from a distance.


    Normally, Yang Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t have paid them much attention, but the sight of one of the female disciples made him stop and stare at her intently.


    Noticing her brother¡¯s unusual behavior, Yang Ling¡¯er turned to look and eximed in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s Sister Qingxuan! Sister Qingxuan!¡± She then waved her hands vigorously, clearly delighted.


    The female disciple heard the calling, looked over, and upon seeing Yang Ling¡¯er, her pretty face lit up with joy, ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er!¡± Then she hurriedly walked over.


    The person approaching was none other than Long Qingxuan, who had taken the Hundred Flowers Sword Goddess as her master and joined the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.


    Seeing Long Qingxuaning over, Yang Xiaotian stood up with his sister.


    He kept his eyes fixed on Long Qingxuan.


    Years had not been seen, and the once little girl, Long Qingxuan, had grown into a figure graceful and elegant, even taller than his sister Yang Ling¡¯er, standing around one meter seventy.


    Her spirited eyes sparkled, her skin smooth as jade, stunningly beautiful. In terms of appearance, Long Qingxuan was no less than Zeng Qianqian or Princess Wan Ning.


    After Long Qingxuan approached, she and Yang Ling¡¯er embraced each other excitedly.


    She truly hadn¡¯t expected to encounter Yang Ling¡¯er here.


    ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er, are you well?¡± Long Qingxuan asked, beaming with happiness.


    Yang Ling¡¯er nodded, thenughed, ¡°I¡¯m doing very well, but I¡¯ve missed you a lot, Sister Qingxuan. My brother has too, often talking of you.¡± She then gestured towards Yang Xiaotian, ¡°My brother, it¡¯s been several years since you two have seen each other, right? I wonder if Sister Qingxuan still remembers my brother?¡±


    Long Qingxuan looked over and locked eyes with Yang Xiaotian. Suddenly, her heart fluttered, and she looked at Yang Xiaotian with a bashful expression, ¡°Brother Xiaotian.¡±


    Back when she had first met Yang Xiaotian in the Red Moon Forest, she used to call him ¡°Brother Xiaotian¡± as well.


    After so many years, hearing this familiar ¡°Brother Xiaotian¡± warmed Yang Xiaotian¡¯s heart, and he smiled, ¡°Sister Qingxuan.¡±


    The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect who hade with Long Qingxuan were somewhat surprised at her demeanor, as in their memory, Sister Long was always serious and rarely smiled. Yet today, in front of a young man, she was actually shy?


    Seeing this, Deng Chuan, a male disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect and one of her suitors, felt a twinge of jealousy and asked, ¡°Sister Long, who are these two people?¡±


    Long Qingxuan was a direct disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sword Goddess and a princess of the Divine Dragon Empire; with both status and talent, it was only natural that the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect was notcking in admirers, Deng Chuan being one of them.


    Long Qingxuan, her eyes brimming with emotion, looked at Yang Xiaotian and said, ¡°Brother Xiaotian and Sister Ling¡¯er are my friends. We¡¯ve known each other since we were little.¡±


    Friends since they were little?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Did that mean childhood sweethearts?

 Chapter 490: 490: Relay a Message to Your Sect Master

    Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Ry a Message to Your Sect Master


    Du Mei¡¯s face changed dramatically as she sensed the powerful aura of the ck Tiger Soul Beast and called out, ¡°Everyone retreat quickly!¡±


    The Hundred Flowers Divine Sect disciples fled in panic.


    However, as they had just begun to escape, they saw the Demon Ape grasp in the void, and in an instant, the ck Tiger Soul Beast, which was at least twenty thousand years old, was crushed by an invisible giant hand.


    ¡°Bang!¡± With a loud noise, blood sprayed, staining the surrounding trees and the ground red.


    The fleeing Hundred Flowers Divine Sect disciples couldn¡¯t help but freeze in shock.


    Even Du Mei was surprised as she watched the Demon Ape.


    This extremely tall middle-aged man was so strong that he could crush a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast as easily as crushing a mosquito!


    Deng Chuan, when looking at the Demon Ape, also showed a clear trace of fear in his eyes.


    Last night, when the Demon Ape said he would smash his mouth, he was furious.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    At that time, he even wanted to rush up and smash the Demon Ape¡¯s mouth.


    Now, even if given another chance, he wouldn¡¯t dare to harbor such a thought.


    Yang Xiaotian¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he continued to fly forward with Yang Ling¡¯er and Long Qingxuan.


    Along the way, if they encountered a weaker Soul Beast, Yang Xiaotian would let Yang Ling¡¯er and Long Qingxuan take action.


    Over several days, thebat strength of the two women had improved a great deal.


    At this time, the group had reached the depths of the Soul Beast Forest.


    Here, there were nearly all Soul Beasts of ten thousand years or more, and even those of forty or fifty thousand years were lurking.


    All the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect trembled with fear.


    For the safety of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect disciples, Du Mei decided not to follow Yang Xiaotian and the others any further but instead set up camp and waited for them on the outside.


    After arranging a time with Du Mei and the others, Yang Xiaotian continued to fly deeper into the forest with Yang Ling¡¯er and Long Qingxuan.


    At this point, the Soul Beasts of over ten thousand years were no longer within the capabilities of Yang Ling¡¯er and Long Qingxuan; the Demon Ape was the one who directly took action and burst them.


    As for the Dark Dragon, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to make a move.


    These forty or fifty thousand-year Soul Beasts couldn¡¯t even pique his interest.


    Eventually, Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at the deepest part of the Soul Beast Forest.


    Here, Soul Beasts of ny or a hundred thousand years resided, and even those of two or three hundred thousand years.


    If they crossed this area, they would reach the Hell Abyss of the Abyssal Master.


    After weighing the options, Yang Xiaotian still decided to hunt a hundred thousand-year Soul Beast for his sister and Long Qingxuan.


    After all, Soul Rings were of utmost importance.


    Although it was said that absorbing a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring would be dangerous for them given their base, with the Dark Dragon and the Demon Ape present, there shouldn¡¯t be any problem.


    Of course, Yang Xiaotian also asked for his sister¡¯s and Qingxuan¡¯s opinions, and both wished to condense a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring.


    Just as Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at the deepest area, a phoenix cry sounded; they saw a huge Iceme Phoenix swooping over from a distance.


    This Iceme Phoenix was a hundred and ten thousand-year Soul Beast.


    That¡¯s the one!


    Yang Xiaotian immediately targeted the Iceme Phoenix.


    His sister Yang Ling¡¯er had the Nine-Colored Phoenix Martial Soul, and if she absorbed the soul of this hundred and ten thousand-year Iceme Phoenix Soul Beast, it wouldplement her abilities and enhance the power of her Martial Soul.


    Suddenly, the Demon Ape soared into the void, swinging the endless ck Crystal Iron Chains towards the Iceme Phoenix, engaging inbat with it.


    The Dark Dragon didn¡¯t make a move either; the Demon Ape could handle the hundred and ten thousand-year Iceme Phoenix. He stood guard nearby, in case the Iceme Phoenix tried to escapeter on.


    While Yang Xiaotian and his party were hunting the Iceme Phoenix, the members of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were discussing them.


    ¡°Big Sister, in your opinion, what are the strengths of that middle-aged man and that old man?¡± A female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect asked Du Mei.


    Du Mei shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡±


    Because, all along the way, the Demon Ape had never used its full strength; with just a casual strike, it burst Soul Beasts of ten, twenty, and even thirty thousand years.


    As for the Dark Dragon, it never made a move.


    She felt that the Dark Dragon¡¯s strength was probably even stronger than that of the Demon Ape.


    ¡°It¡¯s just unknown how many tens of thousands of years of Soul Beasts they will hunt for Long Sister,¡± Deng Chuan spoke up.


    ¡°Should it be fifty thousand years?¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s more, maybe sixty thousand or seventy thousand?¡±


    Just as the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were discussing, a female disciple suddenly spoke up, ¡°I think the Sect Master is being somewhat unfair to Long Sister.¡±


    The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect quieted down.


    Nobody spoke up.


    Du Mei also sighed.


    She also felt that their master¡¯s treatment of the younger sister was somewhat unfair.


    Even if in that matter, the younger sister went against her will, she shouldn¡¯t have treated the younger sister like this.


    The younger sister possess a Supreme Martial Spirit and should absorb Soul Rings. Their master ought to have apanied her here to hunt Soul Beasts.


    However, their master made the excuse that there were important matters to deal with.


    In reality, what important matters could there be?


    ¡°I heard that the old ancestor has obtained an Ancient Dragon n Technique,¡± that female disciple spoke again.


    Du Mei interrupted, ¡°We shouldn¡¯t specte about the matters of the old ancestor.¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect remained silent.


    After a difficult battle, the Demon Ape finally seeded in hunting the Iceme Phoenix.


    Yang Ling¡¯er sat cross-legged beside the Iceme Phoenix and began absorbing its Beast Soul.


    One dayter.


    Around Yang Ling¡¯er¡¯s Nine-Colored Phoenix Martial Soul, a soul ring finally condensed, glowing red with a tinge of purple.


    Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian let out a sigh of relief.


    After that, the group continued to search for a Beast Soul for Long Qingxuan.


    Half a dayter, they finally found a one hundred and ten thousand-year old Nine-wed Golden Dragon.


    Long Qingxuan, possessing Dragon Veins and a Long n Martial Soul, couldn¡¯t have been a more suitable match for absorbing the Nine-wed Golden Dragon Beast Soul.


    Three days blinked by, and when the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were growing somewhat impatient, they saw Yang Xiaotian and the others soaring out from within.


    Du Meipletely rxed and stepped forward to meet them, ¡°Long Sister, how did it go?¡±


    Long Qingxuan nodded with a smile all over her face, ¡°It¡¯s sessful.¡±


    Du Mei said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s great. Now that Sister has sessfully condensed the Soul Ring, let¡¯s return to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.¡± Having said this, she bowed to Yang Xiaotian and the others from the Dark Dragon and bid farewell.


    Just as Du Mei was about to leave, Yang Xiaotian suddenly spoke up, ¡°Sister Du, I have a message I¡¯d like you to pass on to your Sect Master.¡±


    Du Mei stopped, taken aback, not knowing what Yang Xiaotian would have to say to their Sect Master.


    ¡°Please tell your Sect Master to treat Qingxuan well. If Qingxuan suffers any grievance in your Hundred Flowers Divine Sect in the future, I will personally set foot in your Sect to seek an exnation!¡± Yang Xiaotian¡¯s voice was very calm, but it made Du Mei shiver with a chill.


    Du Mei realized that if Long Qingxuan really suffered any grievance in the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect in the future, Yang Xiaotian was unlikely to just seek an exnation ¨C it would be far from that simple.


    ¡°Brother Xiaotian, thank you!¡± Long Qingxuan was full of gratitude, looking tenderly at Yang Xiaotian. After all these years, Brother Xiaotian was still the Brother Xiaotian who protected her.


    ¡°In a few days, I will visit you at the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect,¡± Yang Xiaotian said to Long Qingxuan with a smile.


    He would go to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect once he found the Netherworld Demon Sect¡¯s treasure, acquired the Netherworld Demon Technique, and refined the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.


    Under Yang Xiaotian¡¯s gaze, Long Qingxuan and the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect finally disappeared into the horizon.


    ¡°Have Old Mo check the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect!¡± Yang Xiaotian said to the Heartfelt Demon Ape, his voice cold, ¡°I want to know what happened to Qingxuan in the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect over these years.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Young Master!¡±

 Chapter 491: 491: I Want to See If He Dares to Come

    Chapter 491: Chapter 491: I Want to See If He Dares to Come


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape immediately used a secret technique to contact the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, asking him to investigate the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, and to look into Long Qingxuan¡¯s past few years within the sect.


    Well-acquainted with Yang Xiaotian, the Heartfelt Demon Ape knew that this time, their young master was serious!


    He had never seen their young master ce such importance on a girl.


    It seemed that Long Qingxuan was his master¡¯s untouchable scale.


    Hopefully, the Hundred Flowers Sword God would take his master¡¯s words to heart.


    Otherwise, the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect might face a river of blood!


    Yang Ling¡¯er also sensed her brother¡¯s anger, she well knew how important Long Qingxuan was in her brother¡¯s heart.


    Thus, Yang Xiaotian and hispanions boarded the flying ship and rushed back to the Myriad Gods Imperial City.


    While Yang Xiaotian and his group were on the way back to the Myriad Gods Imperial City, Long Qingxuan, Du Mei, and the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect had returned to their sect.


    Upon returning, the Hundred Flowers Sword God summoned Du Mei and Deng Chuan, asking them about the details of their recent trip to the Soul Beast Forest.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    ¡°What Soul Ring did your junior sister form?¡± the Hundred Flowers Sword God asked them.


    Du Mei hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said, ¡°Reporting to Master, when we entered the Soul Beast Forest, we encountered junior sister¡¯s friend. It was her friend who helped junior sister hunt the Soul Beast. At that time, we were not present, so we do not know what kind of Soul Ring junior sister has condensed.¡±


    ¡°Your junior sister¡¯s friend?¡± the Hundred Flowers Goddess Sword asked, puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s a youth of about fifteen or sixteen. He said he is from the Divine Dragon Empire¡¯s True Dragon Divine Sect, and he has known junior sister since they were children,¡± Du Mei quickly responded.


    True Dragon Divine Sect?


    The Hundred Flowers Sword God nodded, not taking it to heart.


    ¡°Sect Master, that friend of junior sister was extremely arrogant,¡± Deng Chuan said indignantly at that moment. ¡°I only spoke out of turn once, and one of his subordinates threatened to smash my mouth to pulp.¡±


    The Hundred Flowers Sword God¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and she asked Du Mei, ¡°Is that true?¡±


    Du Mei didn¡¯t dare conceal anything, ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Just as she was about to exin, Deng Chuan added, ¡°When we were leaving, that youth suddenly stopped Senior Sister, saying he had a message for you, Sect Master, to ry.¡±


    ¡°Oh? He had a message for me?¡± the Hundred Flowers Sword God turned to look at Du Mei.


    Du Mei looked troubled.


    ¡°Convey his exact words to me!¡±manded the Hundred Flowers Sword God, her voice not loud but brooking no dissent.


    Du Mei, with a forced bravado said, ¡°He asked me to tell Master to treat junior sister well, and if junior sister ever suffers any grievances in the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect in the future, he would¡­¡±


    She paused there.


    ¡°He would what?¡± the tone of the Hundred Flowers Sword God was already getting colder.


    Although Du Mei did not finish what she was saying, she had already guessed it wasn¡¯t anything pleasant.


    ¡°He would personally step into our Hundred Flowers Divine Sect to demand an exnation,¡± Du Mei could only speak the truth.


    ¡°Insolent!¡± Upon hearing this, the Hundred Flowers Sword God instantly flew into a rage, destroying a nearby table with a p, ¡°A junior dares to warn me!¡±


    ¡°Is he teaching me how to conduct my affairs?¡±


    No wonder the Hundred Flowers Sword God was so furious; being the venerated Sword Goddess adored by many powerhouses on the Azure God Continent, it was preposterous for a junior to dare warn her!


    ¡°Simply courting death!¡± raged the Hundred Flowers Sword God more and more.


    Even the ancestors of the True Dragon Divine Sect and the Divine Dragon Imperial n would have to kneel before her, she thought.


    And yet a True Dragon Divine Sect disciple dared to warn her!


    ¡°Master, that youth may not be simple,¡± Du Mei said. ¡°His two subordinates are very strong.¡±


    The Hundred Flowers Sword God directly ignored Du Mei¡¯s words, then called an Elder of the sect and announced, ¡°From now on, Long Qingxuan will no longer enjoy any of the sect¡¯s resources. Revoke her monthly elixirs and Spirit Stones, and no transmission Elders shall guide her cultivation anymore.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, have her move out of the core disciples¡¯ cultivation cave dwelling and reside in the outer sect disciples¡¯ quarters.¡±


    ¡°If she dares to leave the sect, retrieve all her cultivation techniques and divine skills!¡±


    The cold voice of the Hundred Flowers Sword God echoed in the great hall.


    The Sect Elders choked but, looking at the iron-blue face of the Hundred Flowers Sword God, didn¡¯t dare to say much, respectfully acknowledged the order, and left to carry it out.


    ¡°That young man, didn¡¯t he say he wanted toe in person to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect to demand an exnation?¡± The Hundred Flowers Sword God sneered, ¡°I want to see if he has the guts toe to my Hundred Flowers Divine Sect and seek justice!¡±


    In fact, her actions were not because of that young man.


    She had already nned to cancel all of Long Qingxuan¡¯s resources once Long Qingxuan returned.


    Du Mei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.


    ¡­


    Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Residence.


    As soon as he returned to the Divine Residence, he inquired about the investigation results from the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    The Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor squeaked, ¡°Reporting to the Young Master, we¡¯ve just learned that after Long Qingxuan returned to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, the Hundred Flowers Sword God canceled all her sect resources. She¡¯s no longer allowed to enjoy the monthly supply of elixirs and spirit stones and is barred from receiving guidance in cultivation from any of the ancestral masters.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, she had Long Qingxuan move out of the core disciples¡¯ cultivation cave dwelling to reside in the outer sect disciples¡¯ quarters.¡±


    Listening to the report of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s face grew colder and colder.


    It seemed the Hundred Flowers Sword God had not taken his words to heart at all.


    ¡°Do you know why the Hundred Flowers Sword God did not apany Qingxuan to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts?¡± Yang Xiaotian asked coldly again.


    ¡°It seems that the ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect recently acquired an Ancient Dragon n Technique and he wants to master it quickly. He wishes to dual cultivate with Long Qingxuan, who possesses dragon lineage blood.¡± The voice of the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor lowered, ¡°Long Qingxuan refused!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said to the Heartfelt Demon Ape and the Dark Dragon, ¡°Prepare yourselves, we¡¯re going to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Young Master!¡± the Heartfelt Demon Ape and the Dark Dragon replied respectfully, their auras suddenly brimming with murderous intent, a wild killing rage swirling without bounds.


    ¡°Young Master, the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect is a major Supreme Sect of the Buddha Pagoda Empire; perhaps we should bring more people with us!¡± suggested the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor.


    Yang Xiaotian shook his head, ¡°No need.¡±


    Although the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect was one of the top ten Supreme Sects of the Buddha Pagoda Empire,pared to the Yin Wind Sect and the Poison Dragon Pce, it still fell short.


    ¡°Brother, be careful!¡± Yang Ling¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but express her worry.


    Yang Xiaotian nodded.


    A momentter, Yang Xiaotian, the Heartfelt Demon Ape, and the Dark Dragon soared into the sky and disappeared over the horizon.


    After leaving the Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian activated the Abyssal Spaceship and approached the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect at top speed.


    Upon arriving in the Buddha Pagoda Empire, Yang Xiaotian said to the Heartfelt Demon Ape, ¡°Take my token and visit the Yin Wind Sect. Have theme to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect to lend me their support!¡±


    ¡°We will rendezvous at the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect!¡±


    The Yin Wind Sect would surelye to his aid if he requested.


    ¡°Yes, Young Master!¡±


    The Heartfelt Demon Ape sped towards the Yin Wind Sect.


    Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian and the Dark Dragon continued flying toward the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.


    At the time Yang Xiaotian was en route to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, the sect was holding its core disciples¡¯petition. The Hundred Flowers Sword God, along with the high ranks of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, sat in the VIP stands watching.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Cheers resounded non-stop.


    The Hundred Flowers Divine Sect was abuzz with excitement.

 Chapter 493: 493: Lets All Kill Him Together

    Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Let¡¯s All Kill Him Together


    This was an extremely ancient hand.


    So ancient that it was skin and bones.


    Yet, it was this very hand that blocked the astonishing sword qi of the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint.


    The amazing sword qi of the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint, containing the might of millions of divine thunders, sted on that ancient hand. Not only was the hand not prated, but a ck light shook and the sword qi was directly dispersed.


    Everyone was greatly surprised and taken aback, looking towards the Dark Dragon by Yang Xiaotian¡¯s side.


    The one who made the move was none other than the Dark Dragon.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint was even more astonished in her heart.


    She was very clear about the power of the sword she had just unleashed.


    Even an ordinary Sword God would not likely be able to so easily handle that sword of hers.<div>


    Source: novgo.co</a>


    She gazed at the Dark Dragon, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    The Dark Dragon chuckled sinisterly, staring at the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint with blood-red eyes, making her inwardly feel a chill, ¡°Your killer!¡±


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint was furious, ¡°Such impudent bravado!¡± The Hundred Flowers Divine Sword appeared in her hand, and she fiercely thrust out with her sword, as countless sword blooms unfurled.


    It was indeed the Hundred Flowers Sword Path.


    However, her Hundred Flowers Sword Path was immensely more powerful than what the Son of ughter, Meng Bai, had previously demonstrated¡ªby more than ten thousand times.


    Sword flowers filled the sky, creating the illusion of being in a world of sword blooms.


    Moreover, the sword flowers shifted and changed unpredictably, confounding the spirit and soul.


    The sword flowers were as quick as lightning, seeming about to pierce the Dark Dragon¡¯s entire body.


    Suddenly, darkness surged around the Dark Dragon, and as all the sword blooms crashed into the darkness around him, theypletely vanished, as if swallowed by the sea, utterly consumed by the vast ocean.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint was greatly shocked.


    What cultivation technique was this?


    It had actually directly devoured her Hundred Flowers Sword Qi.


    In an instant, the Dark Dragon had consumed all her sword qi, and amidst everyone¡¯s astonishment, suddenly, ck light erupted from the entire body of the Dark Dragon.


    The countless sword qi that had just been devoured shot out with even greater speed towards the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint¡¯s face fell in shock, her Hundred Flowers Divine Sword spinning wildly in her hand, creating a screen of sword blooms.


    But the screen of sword blooms was instantly shattered.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint retreated in surprise and, at the same time, her Hundred Flowers Divine Sword emitted astonishing sword intent, she thrust out with her sword, and the sword qi exploded like wild thunder.


    It was barely enough to hold back the Dark Dragon¡¯s strike.


    Even so, the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint was still shaken, her blood churning, her arms in severe pain, in a state of disarray.


    She looked at the Dark Dragon in a mix of shock and rage.


    This old man¡¯s strength was beyond her imagination.


    As one of the two great female Sword Gods of the Azure God Continent, her strength was so formidable that she was no less strong than the Demon Sky Sword God.


    Yet, after just one exchange, she was already at a disadvantage.


    ¡°Eleven kinds of sword intent, not bad, able to block one of my attacks,¡± the Dark Dragon said coldly.


    Thest sword strike of the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint had unleashed astonishing sword intent, containing eleven types of sword intent, which just managed to block the strike from the Dark Dragon.


    Generally speaking, cultivating nine sword hearts signifies the qualification to be a Sword God.


    However, to be a Sword God, it is not just about cultivating more than nine sword hearts, but also breaking through to the Divine Spirit Realm andprehending more than nine kinds of sword intent.


    An ordinary Sword God can onlyprehend nine kinds of sword intent.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint, on the other hand, hadprehended eleven, two more kinds of sword intent than an ordinary Sword God.


    A Sword God who canprehend eleven kinds of sword intent is extremely rare.


    On the entire Azure God Continent, they can be counted on one hand.


    Despite that, the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint was still at a disadvantage against the Dark Dragon.


    As the Dark Dragon¡¯s words fell, his figure shed, instantly appearing before the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint. His skinny hands reached out, barely exerting any effort, just gently pushing and patting.


    The space itself seemed to copse.


    A tremendous force, iparably tyrannical, pierced throughyers of space, roaring towards her.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword God paled, her whole body¡¯s Sword Qi erupting forth as nine shadows of sword deities appeared behind her.


    She swung her sword fiercely.


    All nine sword deity shadows swung their swords simultaneously.


    With one strike,


    the space ahead split into two halves.


    But it was useless.


    An overwhelmingly powerful force still hammered towards her throughyers of space.


    Bang!


    The female sword-wielder of Hundred Flowers was sted away like a shooting star, crashing into the distant mountains.


    Havingprehended eleven kinds of Sword Intent, the Hundred Flowers Sword God was defeated in two moves!


    The Dark Dragon looked at his adversary coldly, ¡°Your cultivation of the Sword God Way ismendable, unfortunately, you¡¯ve only reached the ninth level.¡±


    The Sword God Way is an unparalleled Sword Dao founded by the Myriad Aspects Sword God from ancient times.


    The Myriad Aspects Sword God was a supreme powerhouse from the same era as the Dark Dragon.


    Only after cultivating the Sword God Way to the fourteenth level could the Myriad Aspects Sword God barely achieve a draw with the Dark Dragon.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword God spat blood, staining the front of her robe red.


    ¡°Protect Sect Master!¡±


    The Ancient Ancestors and Elders of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were startled into action, roaring furiously.


    ¡°Activate the Hundred Flowers Godly Formation!¡±


    Immediately, streams of Sword Qi rose to the sky from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, the Sword Qi like an ocean, enveloping the skies above them. At the same time, endless Sword Qi bombarded Yang Xiaotian and the Dark Dragon.


    Witnessing the oing Hundred Flowers Sword Qi, the Dark Dragon snorted coldly, and with a burst of dark light from his body, shattered all the Sword Qi, then, with fierce force, heunched a punch.


    Numerous dark forces roared out, pushing back the Ancient Ancestors and Saint Realm Elders of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect relentlessly.


    The on-site disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were incredibly shocked to witness the dozens of Divine Spirit Realm Ancient Ancestors and the thousands of Saint Realm Elders being forced to retreat by the old man before them.


    Just as the Dark Dragon was about to strike again, suddenly, from the forbidden grounds of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect, amanding voice called out, ¡°Stop!¡± A figure burst through the air. The person, resembling a proud dragon, threw two punches, and vast Divine Power transformed into two giant Divine Dragons, charging towards the Dark Dragon.


    The Dark Dragon countered with a punch, sting the Divine Power and the Divine Dragons to smithereens.


    The neer was none other than Yao Penghui, the Elder Patriarch of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.


    He was also the one who pressured Long Qingxuan.


    Yang Xiaotian stared at him but spoke coldly, ¡°Ancient Divine Dragon Scripture! You really did betray us to the Undying Death God!¡±


    ¡°What, the Undying Death God!¡± Everyone from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect turned to Yao Penghui in bewildered shock, including the Hundred Flowers Sword God.


    ¡°Boy, you nder without proof!¡± Yao Penghui red at Yang Xiaotian, overwhelmed with a murderous aura, ¡°Everyone, do not be swayed by his divisive words!¡± With that, he suddenlyunched a punch towards Yang Xiaotian.


    The Divine Power Dragon flew out once more.


    The Dark Dragon, however, responded with a punch; the Dark Giant Dragon roared, instantly destroying the opponent¡¯s Divine Dragon, and without diminishing its force, it continued to press Yao Penghui into a hasty retreat.


    ¡°The Dark True Dragon! You are Lord Long!¡± Yao Penghui stared at the Dark Dragon, hisplexion drastically changing.


    ¡°Lord Long?!¡± All the members of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were struck with horror.


    The Hundred Flowers Sword God was also shocked. This old man turned out to be the Dark Dragon, the strongest expert from the Buddha Pagoda Empire over a hundred thousand years ago!


    But hadn¡¯t it been said that the Dark Dragon had been killed alongside the Master of the Poison Dragon Pce and others by a mysterious person a few days ago? How was he still alive? And why was he following this young man!


    Who exactly was this young man!


    ¡°Kill him!¡± Yang Xiaotianmanded coldly.


    Previously, the Annihting Heaven Demon Ancestor mentioned that Yao Penghui had acquired the Ancient Dragon n Technique, and Yang Xiaotian had had his suspicions. Now confirmed, it was certain Yao Penghui had allied with the Undying Death God.


    If that was the case, Yao Penghui must die!


    The Dark Dragonunched another punch, attempting to annihte Yao Penghui once more.


    Yao Penghui roared, ¡°Kill that boy! The Dark Dragon has already defected to the Undying Death God, that boy is one of the Undying Death God¡¯s people! Kill him quickly!¡±


    A Saint Realm Elder under Yao Penghui thrust his sword towards Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat, shouting, ¡°The Undying Death God has massacred the Azure God Continent, anyone associated with the Undying Death God deserves death!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s kill him together!¡±


    Just as the Saint Realm Elder¡¯s sword was about to reach Yang Xiaotian¡¯s throat, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian¡¯s body erupted with light, as the Power of Time surged out, and an exceedingly vast and brilliantly golden Primordial Heaven Destiny flew forth.
