Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2074: The Whereabouts of the Ancestor Dragon Tree
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Teng Si waved his hand with a faint smile, saying, "You represent the future glory of our World Academy. Assisting you is the same as assisting ourselves, so there is no need for such gratitude."
Following those words, he handed over all six hundred portions of Five Elements Sacred Soil to Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian accepted the gift and expressed his thanks to Teng Si once again.
Teng Si paused for a moment, deep in thought. "I have heard rumors circulating that you possess several thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills?"
Yang Xiaotian was momentarily taken aback and shook his head.
Just as Teng Si began to assume that Yang Xiaotian did not actually have thousands of them, Yang Xiaotian clarified, "I currently have more than ten thousand."
The teacup in Teng Si’s grip nearly slipped to the floor; his eyes widened with sheer disbelief and shock. "What did you just say? M-more than ten thousand! Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills? And all of them are truly Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade?!"
He found it impossible to believe, asking repeatedly to confirm if every single one reached the Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade!
Yang Xiaotian gave a firm nod, produced a Space Ring, and unsealed it.
In an instant, the potent aroma of elixirs surged out like a crashing tidal wave.
The interior was filled entirely with Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills.
Their quality was identical to the one previously gifted by the Great Emperor.
The count exceeded twelve thousand in total.
This was the remaining stock after Yang Xiaotian had already traded several thousand away; otherwise, the number would have been even more staggering!
Previously, Yang Xiaotian had successfully refined over ten thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills. Recently, he had produced another batch specifically to trade for the Five Elements Sacred Soil.
Teng Si was genuinely stunned as he gazed upon the twelve thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills before him.
Even though he managed all the elixirs within the World Academy's Medicine Hall and ranked among the top ten pharmacists in the Holy Realm, this was his first time witnessing such a massive quantity of Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Pills.
An hour later, Teng Si departed from Yang Xiaotian’s Cave Mansion, his heart unable to find peace.
The vision of those twelve thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills remained burned into his mind, impossible to ignore.
He refrained from asking how Yang Xiaotian had acquired these Saint Venerable Pills; after all, when dealing with ten thousand pills of such caliber, it was a sensitive matter to probe into.
Consequently, after leaving Yang Xiaotian’s Cave Mansion, his thoughts were consumed by various theories.
As soon as Teng Si was gone, Yang Xiaotian returned to his secluded Cultivation, beginning the process of refining and absorbing the newly acquired seventeen hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil and the Xuanhuang Holy Water.
While Yang Xiaotian was busy with his closed-door training, the Master and the Son of the Holy Realm also caught wind of Yang Xiaotian’s request at the World Commerce to trade for Five Elements Sacred Soil.
"Does Yang Xiaotian truly possess that many Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills?" The Master of the Holy Realm wondered aloud, filled with doubt.
Could Bai Yan have provided them?
But even Bai Yan couldn't possibly own such a vast amount of Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills.
"Even if Yang Xiaotian manages to gather enough Five Elements Sacred Soil, condensing a Thirteen Level Holy Land would still take at least one to two thousand years," the Son of the Holy Realm remarked. "As for attaining the Fourteenth Level, that should require five to six thousand years."
"Furthermore, it remains uncertain if he can even successfully condense the Fourteenth Level after those five or six thousand years."
The Master of the Holy Realm nodded in agreement before asking, "How is your progress with the Fiery Sun Holy Body Cultivation?"
The fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body that the Son of the Holy Realm was currently practicing was the Fiery Sun Holy Body.
The Fiery Sun Holy Body was also a fire-attribute Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, though its raw power was still inferior to the Sun Holy Body.
Ultimately, the Sun Holy Body was recognized as the supreme holy body of the fire system.
"This disciple has achieved some breakthroughs," the Son of the Holy Realm answered with confidence. "With a few more years, this disciple will certainly master the Fiery Sun Holy Body!"
He then added, "Once this disciple’s Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body is complete, I shall challenge Yang Xiaotian once more!"
At that time, he intended to crush Yang Xiaotian ruthlessly to cleanse himself of his previous shame.
"You must focus on your Holy Body, but do not forget to study the Creation Scripture with absolute devotion," the Master of the Holy Realm instructed sternly.
"Yes, Master, I will keep your words in mind," the Son of the Holy Realm replied instantly.
"In a few days, I will journey to the Ancestor Dragon Realm," the Master of the Holy Realm mentioned. "It is highly likely that the Ancestor Dragon Tree is located there."
...
The years rolled by.
Yang Xiaotian sat in a cross-legged position within the Grand Array of his private Cave Mansion, enveloped by the surging elemental forces of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. As these energies radiated outward, they seemed to become infinite.
After years of diligent work, he had completely refined and integrated over seventeen hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil.
By now, the elemental energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth swirling around him were sufficient to manifest a Fourteenth Level Holy Land.
The next step required him to harness these five elemental forces to actually condense the Holy Land.
This particular stage was vital.
To fuse the powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth into a Holy Land necessitated immense Divine Soul Power and a steadfast Dao Heart.
The superior the grade of the Holy Land being formed, the more demanding the requirements for Divine Soul Power and Dao Heart became.
Throughout these years, Yang Xiaotian had greatly bolstered his Divine Soul Power by consuming Xuanhuang Holy Water and Holy Realm Origin Liquid. Given his current soul strength, forming a Fourteenth Level Holy Land was well within his reach.
As for his Dao Heart, there was no cause for concern.
Without delay, Yang Xiaotian utilized his Divine Soul Power and Dao Heart to manipulate the elemental forces, steadily pressing them together.
As the energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth continued to compress, they began to shift, taking the shape of a Holy Land. Furthermore, as the compression deepened, the Holy Land expanded outward.
While many geniuses might only manage to expand a Holy Land by ten li in an hour using these elements, Yang Xiaotian achieved it in a single breath.
Before long, his Holy Land had grown as vast as the lands of an entire empire!
Originally, the Thirteen Level Holy Land belonging to the Son of the Holy Realm was only this size.
By the time a full day had passed, Yang Xiaotian had successfully condensed all his elemental powers. The Holy Land surrounding him was immense, far exceeding the size of ten empires!
The moment the Fourteenth Level Holy Land was successfully formed, countless waves of top-tier Holy Spirit Aura surged fiercely from the core, flooding every inch of the Holy Land.
However, despite the emergence of this top-tier Holy Spirit Aura, it would still take a period of time to produce top-grade Dao Holy Veins.
Yang Xiaotian remained seated upon the Fourteenth Level Holy Land, practicing the Dark Demon God Technique and the Three-Life Buddha’s Dharma. He noted that within this Fourteenth Level Holy Land, his Cultivation speed for both arts had improved drastically.
The same held true for his progress with the Reversing Holy Body and the All Things Holy Body.
As time went on, the top-tier Holy Spirit Aura of his Holy Land finally began to generate threads of top-grade Dao Holy Veins.
Since the Holy Land was still in its infancy, the generated Holy Spirit Aura was only enough to foster a hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins. Once these were utilized, more would gradually be produced.
Previously, Teng Si, the Ancestor of the Medicine Hall, had posted a mission requiring one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins.
Yang Xiaotian brought the hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins to the Mission Hall.
Elder Guo Yi was understandably shocked when he saw Yang Xiaotian present the hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins. In his excitement, he quickly sent word of this development to Ancestor Teng Si.
Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian had finished the task he had set, Teng Si raced to the Mission Hall as quickly as possible.
