Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2100: Long Yi, Ancestor Dragon Tree

Several chambers were situated within the First Layer Hall.

These rooms stood desolate, however, as the Evil Dragon Venerable had clearly pillaged their contents.

Standing before the entrance to the Second Layer Hall, Yang Xiaotian began inspecting its Great Array Prohibition.

The defensive formations guarding the Second Layer Hall were significantly more intricate than those of the first; it was no surprise that the Evil Dragon Venerable had found them impossible to breach.

Nevertheless, through the collective power of Yang Xiaotian and his allies, they successfully dismantled the prohibition of the Second Layer Hall in a mere half-day.

Setting foot inside the Second Layer Hall, Yang Xiaotian and his group discovered more rooms. These were packed with various Cultivation Techniques, Secret Tomes, and piles of Elixirs.

Yang Xiaotian scanned these Cultivation Techniques and Secret Tomes with minimal enthusiasm; while the manuals were high-quality, they offered him little benefit at his current level.

Furthermore, he was already a practitioner of the Primordial Dragon Art, a technique far superior to any standard Long Clan Technique.

Since the Elixirs were of no personal use to him, Yang Xiaotian distributed them to his master, the Primordial Universe Taoist, and the other cultivators from the Abyss of Darkness.

Shortly after, he reached the gates of the Third Layer Palace.

The Dragon Palace consisted of three layered halls in total.

This Third Layer Palace represented the final and most guarded section.

Yang Xiaotian and his companions spent several days analyzing the barrier but were unable to crack it.

It took a full month of effort before Yang Xiaotian finally activated the power of the Primordial Dragon Holy Body to shatter the seal and gain entry into the Third Layer Palace.

No manuals or tomes were found within the Third Layer Palace; instead, it was filled with Divine Medicine! A massive hoard of Long Clan Divine Medicine lay before them, alongside the Xuanhuang Holy Vein and numerous other rare Heaven and Earth Treasures belonging to the Long Clan.

Within this vast collection of Long Clan Divine Medicine, several stalks were six hundred million years old, and there were even two that had aged for seven hundred million years!

Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of joy upon discovering those two seven-hundred-million-year Divine Medicines.

However, despite his thorough search, he could find no sign of the Long Yi Dragon Body or the Ancestor Dragon Tree.

Even after he triggered the Primordial Dragon Holy Body and the Primordial Dragon Order, he failed to detect any resonance from the Long Yi Dragon Body or the tree.

Yang Xiaotian felt a sense of confusion.

Based on the presence of the Long Clan Cultivation Techniques and Secret Tomes, this palace was definitely established by Long Yi. Where, then, was the Long Yi Dragon Body?

Was it hidden somewhere else?

His mind drifted back to the Dragon Clan Ancestor Dragon Body he had found in the Dragon Destruction Cave.

Refusing to give up, he resumed his search, scrutinizing every inch of the Third Layer Palace with extreme care.

Eventually, Yang Xiaotian noticed a strange anomaly on the floor of the Third Layer Hall.

A specific tile on the ground differed slightly from those surrounding it; it was a detail so subtle it was nearly impossible to see without deep focus.

After a moment of deliberation, he channeled the energy of the Primordial Dragon Holy Body and the Primordial Dragon Art, pressing his palm firmly against the stone.

The tile suddenly vibrated with a low hum and glowed brightly, and an intense suction force immediately dragged Yang Xiaotian into a hidden dimension.

Upon entering this realm, Yang Xiaotian felt as though he had submerged into a boundless sea of Dragon Qi. The entire space was saturated with exceptionally pure Primordial Dragon Qi.

The quality of this Primordial Dragon Qi was on par with the atmosphere found in the Dragon Clan Ancestor space.

At the far end of this dimension, a massive wave of Dragon Power radiated outward.

Yang Xiaotian was thrilled.

There was no doubt—the Long Yi Dragon Body was located here!

He had finally discovered the remains of Long Yi!

He wasted no time, flying at full speed toward the source of the power at the end of the space.

Before long, a colossal Dragon Body that seemed to bridge heaven and earth appeared before him.

That was the Long Yi Dragon Body!

Despite never having met Long Yi, Yang Xiaotian recognized the body instantly.

Among the ten Dragon Ancestors, only Long Yi had reached the Ancestor Returning Realm, and only he, much like the Dragon Clan Ancestor, possessed such potent Primordial Dragon Qi.

A massive tree stood tall not far from the Long Yi Dragon Body.

The tree’s bark resembled patches of Dragon Scales that shimmered with an enchanting light, while its branches looked like the powerful limbs of the Long Clan.

"The Ancestor Dragon Tree!"

This tree, which had been born alongside the Dragon Clan Ancestor, stood silently by the Long Yi Dragon Body, appearing to act as its eternal guardian.

Layers of Dragon Qi surged from the Ancestor Dragon Tree, wrapping around the Long Yi Dragon Body as if the tree were attempting to resurrect Long Yi.

Yang Xiaotian let out a quiet sigh.

The fall of Long Yi was an unchangeable reality.

Neither the Ancestor Dragon Tree nor even the Tree of Eternal Life at its full power could bring Long Yi back to life.

He approached the remains of Long Yi and the Ancestor Dragon Tree.

Hanging from the branches were thirty-six Ancestor Dragon Fruits.

These fruits held the most concentrated essence of Long Clan Divine Medicine.

Even Master Ding was filled with excitement while gazing at the Ancestor Dragon Tree.

If it could reclaim the strength of the Eighth Strike of Epoch, it would be capable of challenging the First Demon!

Ever since its power had returned to the Seventh Strike of Epoch level, the effectiveness of the Chaos Holy Vein had waned; even with an infinite supply, it would normally take tens of thousands of years to reach the Eighth Strike.

However, the Ancestor Dragon Fruit, a supreme treasure of the world, changed everything.

With these fruits, the duration required to regain the Eighth Strike of Epoch strength could be drastically reduced.

Realizing that the Ancestor Dragon Fruit could accelerate Master Ding’s recovery, Yang Xiaotian promptly harvested half of them for the cauldron's use.

If Master Ding could reach the Eighth Strike of Epoch, he would have a powerful counter against the First Demon, meaning he wouldn't have to fear that entity when he eventually traveled to the Primordial Demon World.

After assuring his companions outside that he was safe, Yang Xiaotian sat beneath the Ancestor Dragon Tree. He began utilizing the Primordial Dragon Art to trigger the Primordial Dragon Holy Body, starting the process of refining and bonding with the tree.

A typical Holy Emperor Realm expert from the Long Clan would likely need tens of thousands of years to refine the Ancestor Dragon Tree, yet Yang Xiaotian achieved it in just a few months, successfully linking his life force with it.

With every breath Yang Xiaotian took, the Ancestor Dragon Qi from the tree flooded into him, strengthening his physical body and his Divine Soul.

Possessing the Ancestor Dragon Tree meant his future Cultivation would progress at an even faster pace.

Once the refinement was complete, Yang Xiaotian remained under the tree to absorb the surrounding Primordial Dragon Qi.

Only after he had consumed all the ambient Qi did he begin the process of merging with the Long Yi Dragon Body.

As the Primordial Dragon Art operated, a boundless stream of Dragon Essence flowed from Long Yi's body into Yang Xiaotian. Long Yi’s form began to dissolve into shimmering particles of light, integrating into Yang Xiaotian’s being.

Yang Xiaotian’s Realm began a rapid ascent.

He quickly surged past the Holy Emperor Sixth Layer, hitting the middle and late stages before reaching the late pinnacle...

Once the merger with the Long Yi Dragon Body was finalized, Yang Xiaotian turned his attention to refining the two seven-hundred-million-year Divine Medicines he had found.

He did not stop there; after finishing the Divine Medicines, he continued his Cultivation by eating the Ancestor Dragon Fruits.

After consuming three Ancestor Dragon Fruits in a row, he successfully broke through to the late stage of the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer!

At this point, Yang Xiaotian finally paused his training.

Continuing to eat the fruits might push him into the Saint Ancestor Realm, but since he had not yet formed his Tree of the Grand Dao, his next priority was to gain enlightenment regarding the Kaitian Level Great Dao.

Before focusing on the Great Dao, however, Yang Xiaotian decided to attempt refining the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin. He called forth the Ancestor Dragon Tree, and under his command, its roots pierced through the void, tunneling deep into the foundations of the Ancestral Dragon Realm.

Locating the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin was an impossible task for most, but the Ancestor Dragon Tree was capable of it.

Yang Xiaotian could sense the roots of the tree navigating through layer after layer of hidden space until they finally made contact with the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin.
