Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2075: Another Showdown

The Medicine Hall’s alchemy processes had a desperate requirement for top-grade Dao Holy Veins. Consequently, the one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins provided by Yang Xiaotian were an immense help to Teng Si.

Upon witnessing the one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins Yang Xiaotian produced, a pleased Teng Si smiled and remarked, "This time our Medicine Hall owes you a big favor."

Yang Xiaotian dismissed the comment with a wave of his hand, smiling as he replied, "It’s I who owe Teng Zu a favor. With those ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, my cultivation can greatly advance."

The objective set by Teng Si had been the delivery of one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins; in exchange, the reward was one thousand contribution points and ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine.

Yang Xiaotian was currently at the Holy Emperor Seventh Layer. He felt certain that by utilizing these ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, his cultivation level would successfully reach the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer!

Shortly after, the ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine were handed over to Yang Xiaotian by Teng Zu.

Once he secured the ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, Yang Xiaotian retreated to his cave mansion for a period of secluded cultivation to refine the precious medicine.

True to his predictions, his cultivation managed to just barely cross into the early stage of the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer once the ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine were fully refined.

During the following period, Yang Xiaotian focused on completing tasks to build up his contribution points. Simultaneously, he utilized Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills to trade for Five Elements Sacred Soil, Xuanhuang Holy Water, and All Things Star Water to aid his progress.

If his Holy Land could be upgraded to the Fifteenth Level, it would gain the ability to generate Xuanhuang Qi!

The importance of Xuanhuang Qi was undeniable.

In the future, possessing Xuanhuang Qi would allow his collection of Sacred Bodies to improve at a rapid pace.

If his Myriad Domains Holy Body could reach the Thirty-Fourth Layer, he would gain the support of the Power of the Myriad Realms. While he might not be invincible in the lower realm, his combat strength would definitely skyrocket.

However, elevating his Holy Land from the Fourteenth Level to the Fifteenth Level was a massive undertaking, requiring three thousand two hundred units of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

He had previously acquired six hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil from World Commerce, but sourcing another three thousand two hundred pieces was proving to be a difficult challenge.

While he was busy refining the ten stalks of five-hundred-million-year Divine Medicine, he had managed to exchange for one thousand six hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil; however, no new trade offers had appeared in the last two years.

Because of this, Yang Xiaotian needed to discover a new method to secure the remaining one thousand six hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

Meanwhile, though Xuanhuang Holy Water and All Things Star Water were being traded steadily by various superpowers, none of them seemed to have Five Elements Sacred Soil available for exchange.

Furthermore, the missions provided by the World Academy only offered rewards like contribution points, never Five Elements Sacred Soil.

Decades went by as Yang Xiaotian continued to grind through tasks, eventually bringing his total contribution points to thirty thousand.

During this time, his Reversing Holy Body reached the Thirty-Second Level.

Even his All Things Holy Body successfully advanced to the Thirty-First Level.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was preparing to apply for the Junior Academy Head assessment at the various halls with his thirty thousand points, word reached him that the Son of the Holy Realm had mastered the Fourteen Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.

Following this achievement, the Son of the Holy Realm challenged him once more, calling for a duel at Emperor Heaven Mountain.

"Emperor Heaven Mountain," Yang Xiaotian muttered, folding the challenge invitation.

Emperor Heaven Mountain was a renowned landmark on the World Continent that had stood since the Desolate era. Its structure was incredibly resilient, making it a preferred site for many powerful experts to settle their life-and-death battles.

The duel with the Son of the Holy Realm was scheduled for the first day of the upcoming month.

The first day of next month?

With only about ten days remaining until the deadline, it was clear the Son of the Holy Realm was desperate to avenge his previous losses and reclaim his honor!

"Inform your Saint Heir that I will see him on the first day of next month at Emperor Heaven Mountain," Yang Xiaotian told the messenger who had brought the challenge.

The messenger bowed with a smile and said, "Understood. I shall relay your words to our Saint Heir immediately. However, our Saint Heir mentioned that should you lose, he demands the Dark Heavenly Book and twenty thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills!"

He wants the Dark Heavenly Book?

It seemed the Son of the Holy Realm and the Master of Holy Realm were still obsessed with obtaining it.

"Very well. But if your Saint Heir is the one who loses, I demand two thousand doses of Holy Realm Origin Liquid and two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil!" Yang Xiaotian replied after a moment of thought.

The messenger’s brow furrowed as he repeated, "Two thousand doses of Holy Realm Origin Liquid and two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil?"

After a brief hesitation, he added, "I will pass this on to the Saint Heir, though I cannot guarantee he will accept these terms."

With those words, he cupped his hands and departed quickly.

Yang Xiaotian watched the messenger’s silhouette fade into the distance.

If he could win this battle and secure those two thousand pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil, his Holy Land could finally reach the Fifteenth Level!

He would possess the only Holy Land in the world capable of producing Xuanhuang Qi.

He didn't worry much about whether the Son of the Holy Realm would agree to the stakes.

Since the duel was set for next month, however, he had to delay his application for the World Academy Junior Academy Head assessment, as that process usually took over a month to complete.

The messenger soon relayed Yang Xiaotian's terms to the Son of the Holy Realm. Although his expression darkened, the Son of the Holy Realm agreed to the conditions after receiving approval from his mentor, the Master of Holy Realm.

The news of the upcoming clash between Yang Xiaotian and the Son of the Holy Realm at Emperor Heaven Mountain spread like wildfire.

Both the World Continent and the Holy Realm Continent were in an uproar.

Experts from both continents began flocking toward Emperor Heaven Mountain.

"During the apprenticeship ceremony, the Son of the Holy Realm was defeated by Yang Xiaotian. Now, not only has his Holy Land reached the Fourteenth Level, but he has also mastered the Fourteen Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body. He is clearly out for blood!"

"The Son of the Holy Realm has also ascended to the Saint Venerable Realm and even caught a glimpse of the Grotto Heaven secrets. This time, Yang Xiaotian is likely to be defeated!"

"I disagree. Don't forget that Yang Xiaotian possesses the First of Eternity Heart, two King of Chaos Totems, and twelve thousand nine hundred sixty Kaitian Holy Path!"

The public debated the outcome with great fervor.

Nevertheless, the majority felt that the Son of the Holy Realm held the advantage in this fight.

This was due to the Son of the Holy Realm’s Holy Land reaching the Fourteenth Level, his mastery of the Fourteen Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, and his breakthrough into the Saint Venerable Realm.

Upon hearing of the challenge, Bai Yan visited Yang Xiaotian’s cave mansion to discuss various matters with him.

"Xiaotian, do you feel confident about this upcoming fight?" Bai Yan eventually asked, unable to hide his worry.

If the Dark Heavenly Book was lost to the Holy Realm Academy, the World Academy would find itself further marginalized.

"Don't worry, Master. Your disciple is fully confident in this battle," Yang Xiaotian stated.

Bai Yan nodded, feeling slightly more at ease, but added, "Be careful, though. The First Demon and the Evil Head, Mad Demon, might show up at this battle."

Bai Yan was well aware that the masters of the Demon and Evil Sects had been causing chaos on the World Continent for years for a specific reason.

"Understood, Master. I will remain vigilant," Yang Xiaotian answered.

Once Bai Yan departed, Yang Xiaotian consumed a Holy Fruit to aid his cultivation, waiting patiently for the day of the duel.

While Yang Xiaotian prepared, Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, Li Quan, and others met to discuss the implications of the fight.

"If Yang Xiaotian is defeated, won't the Dark Heavenly Book be taken by the Holy Realm Academy?" Liao Yuan asked solemnly.

"If it looks like Yang Xiaotian will lose, we cannot allow the Dark Heavenly Book to fall into their hands, no matter what it takes!" Cheng Zhan declared firmly.
