Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2145: Mother Nest

Lin Jie departed from the Golden Treant Tribe alongside his followers, seething with rage.

"Yang Xiaotian acts with such outrageous arrogance! Even if he disregards the Buddha’s face, shouldn’t he at least consider the monk’s face? You went to meet him in person, but he flat-out refused to see you," one of Lin Jie’s followers burst out in fury. "We’re in the Xuanhuang Great World here! This isn’t his Bright Heavenly Realm!"

"That’s right! Even the Master of the Holy Realm has to show triple the respect to the Great Holy Master when he arrives in the Xuanhuang Great World!" another follower added heatedly.

The Xuanhuang Great Holy Master holds the position of supreme authority in the Xuanhuang Great World and ranks among the top ten powerhouses on the Eternal Realm List, his influence on par with the First Demon. Previously, during the Master of the Holy Realm’s visit to the Xuanhuang Great World, the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master had hosted him personally.

Among the Eternal Realm’s inhabitants, a common proverb circulates: Within the Xuanhuang Great World, anyone can be offended except the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master.

Offending the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master means you’ll meet your end without even realizing how it happened!

Though the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master isn’t the ruler of the Xuanhuang Great World, his dominance there rivals that of the world’s true Master.

"Come with me to meet my master," Lin Jie declared gravely.

His intention was to return and report Yang Xiaotian’s insolence to his master!

At that time, Yang Xiaotian remained oblivious to Lin Jie’s growing grudge against him. Once he had recuperated, he dove back into the magma’s depths with Master Ding to resume gathering Creation Spirit Roots.

In this manner, across several years, Yang Xiaotian managed to harvest every single Creation Spirit Root hidden in the magma depths.

The magma depths concealed more than eight hundred thousand Creation Spirit Roots!

Exceeding eight hundred thousand in total!

With this vast stockpile, Yang Xiaotian felt no concern over depleting his supply of Creation Spirit Roots.

Having gathered all the Creation Spirit Roots from the magma depths, Yang Xiaotian wasted no time there. He led the Golden Treant Tribe’s members away and set off in search of Mother Qi.

The Mother Continent houses a Mother Nest that produces a type of Mother Crystal, each brimming with abundant Mother Qi.

As a result, his plan was to head straight to the Mother Nest.

Yet, a valuable asset like the Mother Nest had already been seized by the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master, posing significant challenges for Yang Xiaotian to access it and harvest Mother Crystals.

"Your Majesty, do you think we should reach out to the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master?" the Rain Demon inquired cautiously.

Even someone as formidable as him harbored deep wariness toward the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master.

"We’ll decide once we arrive at the Mother Nest," Yang Xiaotian responded steadily.

Years ago, in order to claim the Mother Nest, the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master had massacred billions of the Mother Clan’s disciples, driving the survivors to escape the site.

Yang Xiaotian strongly condemned the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master’s brutal methods.

During their journey, whenever they passed through major cities, Yang Xiaotian would pause for a day’s rest, collect news, and keep buying herbs to craft more Harmonization Pills.

While picking up information, they discovered that numerous individuals were circulating damaging tales about Yang Xiaotian.

All these tales aimed to tarnish Yang Xiaotian’s reputation.

For instance, claims like "Yang Xiaotian is ruthless and has ruined countless beauties from different sects!"

Or assertions such as "Yang Xiaotian commanded a horde of Giant Demons to wipe out various Supreme Sects, seizing their cultivation resources, which fueled his swift progress in cultivation!"

Hearing these slanderous stories about Yang Xiaotian filled the Rain Demon, Bloodthirsty Evil Demon, and their companions with dark anger.

"Track down whoever’s behind these deliberate smears," Yang Xiaotian commanded in a serious voice.

The Rain Demon, Bloodthirsty Evil Demon, and the rest bowed in agreement.

It didn’t take long for them to uncover the source.

"Your Majesty, we’ve identified the culprit. These rumors stem from Lin Jie, the primary disciple of the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master," the Rain Demon informed Yang Xiaotian.

"Oh? Is this the same fellow who sought a meeting with me before, but I turned him away?" Yang Xiaotian inquired, showing some surprise.

Could these rumors be nothing more than retaliation for his earlier refusal to meet?

Or did deeper motives lurk beneath?

"Yes, that’s him," the Rain Demon confirmed.

"This Lin Jie, leaning on the Xuanhuang Great Holy Master’s support, dares to spread lies across the Xuanhuang Great World to slander Your Majesty. He’s begging for destruction! Let me smash his skull!" the Bloodthirsty Evil Demon roared in outrage.

The Giant Demons of the Primordial Demon World, along with experts from the Bright Heavenly Realm and Ancestor Dragon Realm, burned with similar fury.

"Locate Lin Jie’s current position," Yang Xiaotian instructed icily.

His followers acknowledged the order and immediately began their search.

"We’ve tracked him down, Your Majesty. Lin Jie is training inside the Mother Nest right now," the Rain Demon announced. "He maintains a Cave Mansion close to the Mother Nest, residing there throughout the year."

Learning of Lin Jie’s presence at the Mother Nest caused Yang Xiaotian’s face to tighten, and he quickened their pace toward the destination with his group.

Several days passed before Yang Xiaotian and his entourage reached the Mother Nest.

The Mother Nest sits atop the immense Mother Tree.

Towering to incredible heights, the Mother Tree rises like a divine pillar amid the mountain ranges, its form discernible from great distances.

Viewed from afar, the Mother Nest resembles a gigantic jeweled basin, radiating multicolored glows while faint runes dance within.

As Yang Xiaotian and his companions drew near the Mother Tree, Lin Jie’s followers blocked their path.

"Who do you think you are? Don’t you realize getting close to the Mother Tree warrants the extermination of your entire clan? Scram immediately!" one of Lin Jie’s followers bellowed with haughty disdain.

Already incensed by Lin Jie’s smear campaign against Yang Xiaotian, the Rain Demon and his allies seized the arrogant follower and pulverized him on the spot.

Lin Jie’s remaining followers stood frozen in shock, staring at their crushed leader, their thoughts momentarily reeling.

"Hurry, notify Lord Lin—troublemakers are here, and they’ve slain Captain Fang!" one follower yelped abruptly.

Yet before his cry could end, the Bloodthirsty Evil Demon’s jaws parted, sucking out every drop of his blood and leaving him a withered husk in mere moments.

At that instant, Lin Jie cultivated within a palace adjacent to the Mother Nest, drawing in the Mother Qi that flowed from it.

All of a sudden, frantic yells from his followers outside pierced the air: "Lord Lin, disaster strikes! Intruders are stirring chaos and have murdered Captain Fang!"

Startled, Lin Jie wondered who would dare cause such mayhem and eliminate his trusted Captain Fang.

Rising swiftly, he strode to the palace’s doorway, his gaze icy. He was determined to identify the fool courting his own demise!

Moments later, Lin Jie rushed out with the guards stationed there.

Spotting Yang Xiaotian from a distance left Lin Jie bewildered. Noticing the Rain Demon, Bloodthirsty Evil Demon, and their group flanking Yang Xiaotian made him scowl.

His eyes flicked to the blood-drained corpse of his follower, and he demanded sharply of Yang Xiaotian, "Who are you?" Then he snarled, "I don’t give a damn who you are—killing my people seals your fate today!"

Just then, a commander in his ranks spotted the Star Storm Demon among Yang Xiaotian’s companions, and his face paled dramatically. He had ventured into the Primordial Demon World’s Demon Territory once and encountered him there.
