Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2083: 2083: Primordial Cave Heaven
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
The other ancestors responded quickly, racing toward Yang Xiaotian’s cave mansion one after another.
However, Bai Yan was even swifter, slicing through the void as he rapidly closed the distance to Yang Xiaotian’s residence!
While practicing in his own cave mansion, Bai Yan had been stunned by the news that Yang Xiaotian was trading a massive quantity of Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills for Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones. He had immediately rushed over at his maximum speed.
Consequently, just as Yang Xiaotian returned from the World Commerce to his cave mansion, Bai Yan, Xin Lei, and the remaining ancestors arrived in succession.
“Xiaotian, is the rumor from the World Commerce true? Are you really looking to trade Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills for Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones?” Bai Yan questioned Yang Xiaotian with urgency the moment he landed.
Despite managing the World Academy for countless years, he found it impossible to remain composed at this moment.
After all, these were Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills, not merely the Thirteenth Tribulation!
Observing the anxious looks on the faces of Bai Yan and Xin Lei, Yang Xiaotian gave a nod: “Yes, Master.”
Bai Yan’s eyes widened in surprise: “Does that mean you already...?”
“Master, I refined those Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills myself.” Anticipating Bai Yan’s question, Yang Xiaotian spoke and then summoned all Eight Great Chaotic Holy Fires.
The intense power of the Eight Great Chaotic Holy Fires radiated outward, lighting up the mountain peak and the very sky above the World Academy.
Bai Yan, Xin Lei, and the others stood frozen in shock.
It was true!
Those Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills had indeed been produced by Yang Xiaotian.
They had speculated about this during their journey, yet they had struggled to believe it until now.
Now, the truth was finally confirmed before their eyes.
“Our World Academy is blessed by fortune!” Teng Si, the ancestor of the Medicine Hall, was so overcome with emotion that he nearly wept.
It was incredibly rare for any superpower to produce a master capable of refining Fourteenth Tribulation Elixirs. Until now, only Dean Bai Yan and himself had ever achieved such a feat within the World Academy.
“So, just how many Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills do you currently possess?” Teng Si asked, unable to contain his excitement.
“More than ten thousand.” Since he was facing his master Bai Yan and the elders, Yang Xiaotian did not hide the truth. He immediately manifested every Saint Emperor Pill he had recently crafted.
Over ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills hovered in the air before them.
The mountain was instantly saturated with the thick, heavenly aroma of the elixirs.
Teng Si and the others were completely dazed by the sight of ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills floating in front of them.
Even Bai Yan was left speechless.
This count exceeded ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills!
Even though he and Teng Si were capable of refining Fourteenth Tribulation Elixirs, their combined lifetime output only amounted to a few dozen such pills.
“Did you spend all these years refining these Saint Emperor Pills?” Teng Si asked, his throat feeling dry, perhaps due to the overwhelming fragrance of the medicine.
Over the years?
“Yes,” Yang Xiaotian replied with a nod.
He couldn't very well explain that these ten thousand plus Saint Emperor Pills had actually been refined in just the last three or four months.
“Xiaotian, trading these Saint Emperor Pills for things like Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones is truly a waste!” Bai Yan said after a moment of reflection. “How about this: if you require those materials, you can trade directly with the World Academy.”
“Indeed, it would be a great pity to trade these pills away to outsiders,” Teng Si and the others added in agreement.
Yang Xiaotian rubbed his head sheepishly: “But Master, I need forty stalks of Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and roughly thirty to forty thousand Heavenly Crystal Stones!”
Bai Yan, Teng Si, and the rest were struck dumb.
None of them had anticipated that Yang Xiaotian’s requirements for Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones would be so astronomical.
This nearly accounted for the entire current inventory of the World Academy.
They couldn't possibly give him everything.
If they did, how would the other disciples find the resources to cultivate?
“In that case, Xiaotian, let the Academy exchange thirty stalks of Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and twenty thousand Heavenly Crystal Stones with you. You can trade for the remainder with other powers. What do you think?” Bai Yan suggested after some thought.
“Very well, I will follow Master’s advice,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile and a nod.
Trading with the World Academy was essentially the same as trading with any other organization; it made no difference to his goals.
After lingering for a short while, Bai Yan and the others took their leave.
Teng Si, the Medicine Hall ancestor, was particularly reluctant to go, urging Yang Xiaotian to visit his cave mansion more frequently whenever he was available.
Yang Xiaotian smiled and gave his word.
Once the visitors had departed, Yang Xiaotian redoubled his efforts, continuing to refine even more Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills.
After producing a sufficient supply, he halted his work and completed the trade of thirty stalks of Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and twenty thousand Heavenly Crystal Stones with the World Academy.
Meanwhile, during the time Yang Xiaotian spent refining, the requests he had posted caused a massive stir among the great empires of the World Continent. These empires flocked to the World Commerce, bringing their Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones to exchange with him.
Consequently, it didn't take long for Yang Xiaotian to gather the necessary amount of Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones.
He didn't just meet his goal; he exceeded it by a significant margin.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian instructed the World Commerce to withdraw the trade requests.
The news that Yang Xiaotian was offering Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills for Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine and Heavenly Crystal Stones eventually reached the Sacred World Academy.
The members of the Sacred World Academy were thrown into a state of total chaos.
“How can Yang Xiaotian possibly have that many Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills?!”
“The rumors say he refined them himself!”
“That’s impossible! He’s only in the Saint Venerable Realm. How could he refine Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pills, let alone so many of them?”
“We cannot allow Yang Xiaotian to live! If he survives, he could single-handedly provide for the entire World Academy!”
The experts of the Sacred World Academy were in a state of extreme agitation.
Even the Master of Holy Realm had a flicker of intense killing intent in his eyes, though it eventually faded when he considered the Creator Lord who stood behind the World Academy.
In addition to the medicine and stones, Yang Xiaotian also acquired a vast amount of Dao Holy Flame.
Knowing that his Divine Soul Power would be able to command the Nine Great Chaotic Holy Fires once he reached the Holy Emperor Realm, he decided to purchase the Dao Holy Flame in advance.
With his preparations finished, Yang Xiaotian entered Long Yi’s cave mansion to begin a period of secluded cultivation.
Comparatively, the cave mansions belonging to Long Yi and the Sun God Tribe Founder were far superior to his own.
Yang Xiaotian proceeded with his cultivation, consuming Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine while utilizing the Heavenly Crystal Stones and the Xuanhuang Holy Vein to temper his grotto-heaven and his various Sacred Bodies.
Naturally, his Divine Soul grew significantly stronger under the influence of the Xuanhuang Holy Vein.
Time lost all meaning as he practiced deep in the mountains. Eventually, Yang Xiaotian’s cultivation level pierced through to the Saint Venerable Tenth Layer.
Furthermore, his many Sacred Bodies reached the Late Stage of the Thirty-Second Layer one after another.
After absorbing thirty thousand Heavenly Crystal Stones, the grotto-heaven energy surrounding Yang Xiaotian resembled a vast ocean, possessing the potential to form a Fifteen Level Cave Heaven.
Yang Xiaotian continued to draw in the energy from the Heavenly Crystal Stones, further condensing his grotto-heaven energy.
Finally, as his cultivation reached the peak of the Saint Venerable Tenth Layer, his various Sacred Bodies ascended to the Thirty-Third Layer.
His grotto-heaven energy had also reached the threshold required to manifest a Fifteen Level Cave Heaven.
The Fifteen Level Cave Heaven was famously known as the Primordial Cave Heaven. Once he formed it, he could utilize its Primordial Qi to nourish the Tree of Eternal Life, significantly speeding up its development.
Moreover, with the Primordial Qi from the Primordial Cave Heaven, his progress through the Holy Emperor Realm would be drastically accelerated.
