Chapter 2085: Journey to the Ancestor Dragon Realm
Yang Xiaotian sought out a quiet, hidden location after procuring the necessary medicinal ingredients to concoct the Saint Ancestor Pill. There, he set to work refining the Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Ancestor Pill.
Refining an elixir of the Fifteenth Tribulation, however, proved to be a significantly more taxing endeavor.
The first successful pill took Yang Xiaotian a full hour of focused effort to complete.
This Fifteenth Tribulation Saint Ancestor Pill shimmered with the brilliance of a flawless masterpiece, a sight for sore eyes. Its mere fragrance was enough to make Yang Xiaotian’s mouth water in anticipation.
Master Ding’s excitement was palpable upon witnessing the result; this was the very first Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Holy Pill to ever grace the world!
Without pause, Yang Xiaotian moved on to the second pill.
With the experience of the first attempt fresh in his mind, the second refinement was far more fluid and efficient, concluding in less than an hour.
Once two Fifteenth Tribulation Saint Ancestor Pills were ready, Yang Xiaotian immediately offered one to Master Ding so they could experience the quality together.
While the Fourteenth Tribulation Saint Emperor Pill was already considered the pinnacle of flavor, it paled in comparison to the Fifteenth Tribulation Saint Ancestor Pill. The moment it touched his tongue, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he were drifting through the heavens, the taste defying any earthly description.
He swallowed the pill, the exquisite aftertaste lingering long after.
Master Ding savored the experience for a long time as well, remarking that after tasting such a pill, all other elixirs would surely seem bland by comparison.
Yang Xiaotian continued his work, refining the third, fourth, and fifth pills in succession...
As his proficiency grew, his speed increased. By the end of that single day, he had successfully produced over thirty pills.
Within a month’s time, Yang Xiaotian’s tally had reached over a thousand.
After six months of intensive work, he had exhausted his supply of herbs, resulting in a total of seven thousand Fifteenth Tribulation Saint Ancestor Pills.
Believing that seven thousand pills would suffice for several years, Yang Xiaotian halted his refining and journeyed back to the World Academy to focus on comprehending the Bright Heavenly Book.
Having ascended to the Holy Emperor Realm, he felt confident that his current Cultivation would allow him to fully grasp all one hundred pages of the ancient text.
Total comprehension of the Bright Heavenly Book was the key to eventually refining and commanding the Bright Heavenly Origin.
His ambition was vast: if he could refine the Primordial Demon World, the Bright Heavenly Realm, and the Ancestor Dragon Realm, uniting the power of three worlds, he might be able to challenge the Master of Holy Realm once he reached the Unity Realm Stage!
Furthermore, if he could later refine the Dark Hell and dominate the Dark Hell World, the combined power of four realms within his body might even allow him to suppress the Master of Holy Realm entirely!
Just as he had predicted, the boost from his Holy Emperor Realm breakthrough allowed Yang Xiaotian to successfully unlock the secrets of the Bright Heavenly Book!
Every rune and handprint across the hundred pages was now fully mastered.
With that task complete, he turned his attention toward mastering the Dark Heavenly Book.
Shortly after he had fully grasped the Dark Heavenly Book, a Message Talisman arrived from the Dragon Corpse Beast. It contained vital intelligence regarding the Primordial Universe Taoist.
The Primordial Universe Taoist had been located within the Ancestor Dragon Realm!
Upon receiving this news, Yang Xiaotian hurried to the Hongmeng Mansion.
“Holy Master.” Within the Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, the Destroying Heaven Demon, and their companions bowed in greeting.
“Is my master truly in the Ancestor Dragon Realm? Where exactly?” Yang Xiaotian demanded.
“Our reports indicate that the Primordial Universe Taoist was seen in the Tianya Empire of the Ancestor Dragon Realm several years ago,” the Dragon Corpse Beast reported quickly. “However, he seems to have vanished shortly after appearing there.”
He then provided Yang Xiaotian with the coordinates for the Tianya Empire.
Yang Xiaotian fell into deep thought.
The Tianya Empire was situated at the northernmost edge of the Ancestor Dragon Realm, bordering the unknown. What business could his master have in such a remote place?
“Is there any word on my Senior Uncle Origin Daoist or the Bi Xin Sword Venerate?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
“None.” The Dragon Corpse Beast shook his head slowly, hesitating before adding, “It is highly likely that the Origin Daoist and Bi Xin Sword Venerate have met with an unfortunate end.”
They had searched for years, and even the vast resources of the World Academy had turned up nothing.
The total lack of information suggested that they had vanished from existence. It was nearly impossible for the World Academy to fail so completely in locating them unless they were truly gone.
“We are going to the Ancestor Dragon Realm!” Yang Xiaotian announced to the group.
The Ancestor Dragon Tree and the Long Yi Dragon Body had always been within that realm. He had delayed his visit only because Master Ding’s power had not yet returned to the Seven Strike of Epoch level.
Now that Master Ding had regained that strength, surpassing the power of the Abyss of Darkness, he was even capable of contending with the Mad Demon.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian and his followers set out for the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
Prior to his departure, Yang Xiaotian visited the Cave Mansion of his master, Bai Yan. He informed him of the journey and left behind a significant quantity of Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills.
Understanding that Yang Xiaotian sought the Ancestor Dragon Tree, Bai Yan urged him to remain vigilant and assigned a legion to protect him.
Though this force numbered only one million, it was the Black Flame Army—the most elite and shadowed legion within the World Academy.
Grateful for his master’s support, Yang Xiaotian took the Black Flame Army with him.
That night, Yang Xiaotian boarded Long Ye and led the group out of World City, setting a course for the Ancestor Dragon Realm.
In the past, Yang Xiaotian had powered Long Ye with a Top Grade Dao Holy Vein; now, he utilized Primordial Holy Veins, increasing the vessel's speed by a hundredfold!
The Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, and Red Dragon Mad Demon watched in sheer disbelief.
“Is this truly the peak speed of Long Ye?” the Destroying Heaven Demon asked, stunned.
The Dragon Corpse Beast shook his head. “No, this is still not its absolute limit!”
Despite the incredible velocity, the Dragon Corpse Beast, having served as Long Ye’s mount, knew there was even more potential. However, he was baffled as to how the Holy Master had acquired such rare Primordial Holy Veins.
The entire group from the Abyss of Darkness was shocked; Primordial Holy Veins were treasures so rare they might not even be found within the World Academy’s own vaults.
Of course, they were unaware that Yang Xiaotian’s Cultivation had already moved beyond the Holy Emperor Realm.
Nor did they know he had achieved the Fifteen Level Grotto Heaven.
Yang Xiaotian offered no explanations. He knew that once they reached the Ancestor Dragon Realm, his true power would eventually become clear to them.
He had expected to be ambushed by the Mad Demon, the First Demon, or the Evil Leader upon leaving the academy, yet several days passed without any sign of pursuit.
Had the Mad Demon abandoned the chase?
Or perhaps they were intimidated by the Creator Lord who stood behind the World Academy?
During the trip, Yang Xiaotian meditated within his Primordial Cave Heaven, drawing upon the Primordial Holy Veins. The effect on his Sacred Body and Divine Soul was ten times more potent than what he had experienced with the Xuanhuang Holy Vein.
Even so, Yang Xiaotian was restless. He found the pace of his Realm advancement and the strengthening of his soul and body to be far too sluggish.
Without a Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine, reaching the Saint Ancestor Realm through standard Cultivation would still take ten or twenty thousand years.
While such a timeframe was considered lightning-fast by ordinary standards, to Yang Xiaotian, it felt like an eternity.
