Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2126: 2126: Bright Heavenly River
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Months later, the Dragon Night Spaceship reached the Bright Heavenly Realm without incident.
Despite the time passed, Yang Xiaotian had yet to receive any favorable reports regarding the Bright Heavenly Ginseng from his subordinates.
Because the Bright Heavenly Ginseng originates from the Bright Heavenly Origin and possesses the ability to merge with the local space as it travels, tracking its movements is an immense challenge.
Unless one possesses a unique treasure capable of drawing it out, the ginseng rarely exposes its presence.
Consequently, even though it was common knowledge that the Bright Heavenly Ginseng resided within the Bright River, several months of searching by various parties had yielded nothing.
As he crossed into the Bright Heavenly Realm, Yang Xiaotian could feel the intense Power of Bright vibrating through the air.
This overwhelming Power of Bright triggered a deep sense of familiarity within his own internal reserves of Bright Power.
His Dharma Image, the Bright Sky Emperor, was particularly affected, becoming restless.
This resonance vibrated through the very core of Yang Xiaotian’s soul.
He could empathize with the trembling of the Bright Sky Emperor.
It was the same sensation he felt years ago when he returned to the Yang Family and saw his kin after a long absence.
“Ancient Heavenly Court,” Yang Xiaotian whispered internally.
During the ancient era, the Bright Sky Emperor reigned as the premier sovereign of the Bright Heavenly Realm, a titan who commanded the Ancient Heavenly Court and led the vast populations of the Bright Saint Clan.
However, that era ended with the fall of the Bright Sky Emperor.
The location of the Ancient Heavenly Court, a treasure of supreme importance, remained a mystery.
The Bright Saint Clan had long since fractured and dispersed.
Now within the Bright Heavenly Realm, Yang Xiaotian steered the vessel, leading his group toward the Bright River.
Gazing up at the strikingly blue Vault Of Heaven, a thought struck Yang Xiaotian: if he managed to locate both the Bright Heavenly Ginseng and the Bright Heavenly Origin, would he be capable of refining the latter?
Possessing the Dharma Image Bright Sky Emperor and the Sixteen Wings of Bright gave him an advantage, yet the successful assimilation of the Bright Heavenly Origin was not guaranteed.
He had already successfully integrated the origins of both the True Dragon World and the Primordial Demon World.
Claiming the origins of two separate worlds was already an unprecedented feat that defied the natural order of the universe.
He felt a lack of certainty regarding whether he could handle a third.
When questioned, Master Ding could only shake his head in uncertainty; no record existed of any individual ever refining the origins of three different realms.
Furthermore, the Bright Heavenly Realm, Ancestor Dragon Realm, and Primordial Demon World were among the elite Ten Realms of the Eternal Realm.
Whether Yang Xiaotian’s physical form could endure the raw power of the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin was something Master Ding could not predict.
The Bright Heavenly River serves as the lifeblood of the Bright Heavenly Realm!
It is renowned as the most wondrous river within the Eternal Realm.
The entire body of the Bright Heavenly River is suspended high in the firmament.
From a distance, it looks like a colossal mirror of radiance stretched across the sky, flowing perpetually and casting an undying light upon the land.
Legend says that even if the rest of existence fell into shadow, the Bright Heavenly River would remain as luminous as ever.
By the time Yang Xiaotian’s party reached the river, night had fallen, yet the water continued to emit a brilliant glow.
The scale of the Bright Heavenly River was immense, stretching beyond the horizon.
Many people were gathered along the riverbanks, hesitant to step inside.
The river’s concentrated bright power was agonizing for those who followed evil paths or dark Cultivation methods; entering the water would cause them unbearable suffering.
Because of this, many powerful figures were restricted to watching from the shore.
Naturally, individuals like the Rain Demon—titans of the Eternal Realm—were unaffected by the river's purity.
Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian engaged the Dragon Night Spaceship’s defensive arrays before guiding his team into the river's expanse.
The atmosphere inside the Bright Heavenly River was a world apart from the banks.
The water danced with shimmering waves, creating a breathtaking vista.
Yang Xiaotian began utilizing the strength of the Bright Sky Emperor Dharma Image to probe for the Bright Heavenly Ginseng.
Standard bright power could not find the ginseng while it was phased into the realm's space, but the specialized power of the Bright Sky Emperor could.
Even so, the detection range was limited to just a few miles.
Consequently, Yang Xiaotian maintained a slow pace, meticulously scanning every segment of the river.
Ten days went by in this manner.
In that time, they had covered less than one percent of the vast river.
After considering his options, Yang Xiaotian decided to deploy the Ancestor Dragon Tree as bait; otherwise, the search could stretch on for years.
He promptly summoned the Ancestor Dragon Tree.
The tree hovered above him, radiating the light of the Long Clan over the river, while coils of Dragon Qi formed a miniature Dragon Kingdom around it.
The intense light and Dragon Power emitted by the tree caught the attention of many experts within the river.
Believing a rare treasure had surfaced, many practitioners rushed toward their location.
“What kind of Long Clan Divine Tree possesses such concentrated Dragon Qi?!” several experts wondered aloud, their eyes filled with greed as they arrived.
Unfamiliar with the Ancestor Dragon Tree, they failed to realize its true identity.
Just as some prepared to seize the tree, one observer recognized a figure standing near Yang Xiaotian and gasped, “The Bloodthirsty Evil Demon!”
The Bloodthirsty Evil Demon was a renowned forefather of a demon Sect in the Primordial Demon World, holding a high rank on the Eternal Realm List, just below the Rain Demon.
At the mention of his name, the aggressive crowd froze, their faces turning pale with fear.
“And the Rain Demon!” another voice cried out in terror.
The crowd was seized by a fresh wave of trembling.
Their gazes shifted to the youth in the blue shirt standing ahead of these two legendary demons, wondering who could possibly command such monsters.
“It is the Ancestor Dragon Primordial Demon, Your Majesty!” many shouted in realization.
Since Yang Xiaotian held the titles of Realm Lord for both the Ancestor Dragon and Primordial Demon worlds, he was now frequently addressed by this combined title.
“You may all leave,” Yang Xiaotian said, feeling slightly awkward at the grand title.
“We thank Your Majesty!” The practitioners bowed low and retreated in a frantic hurry, vanishing instantly.
Once the area was clear, Yang Xiaotian moved forward, pushing the Ancestor Dragon Tree’s influence deep into the spatial layers of the Bright River.
As he began his attempt to lure the ginseng, word of his presence at the river spread quickly, causing a stir within the Holy Realm Academy.
“Yang Xiaotian is likely using the Ancestor Dragon Tree to draw out the Bright Heavenly Ginseng,” Chen Mo, an Elder of the Holy Realm Academy, noted with gravity.
“He may have his tree, but we possess the Holy Realm Lotus. We will surely be the ones to claim the Bright Heavenly Ginseng first!” Wu Chong declared confidently.
For this mission, the Holy Realm Academy had brought out their own supreme artifact, the Holy Realm Lotus, specifically to secure the ginseng.
