Chapter 301: 301

Yang Xiaotian’s bold claim that he’d beat Wei Zongyuan in half a move quickly spread after Wei Zongyuan purposively publicized it.

Atop a certain peak of Celestial Burial Academy, a young man in a green robe heard the news and shook his head with a smile, “This little guy is even bolder than I was back in the day.”

The green-robed youth was none other than the Green Lotus Sword Deity!

He had also arrived at Celestial Burial Academy today.

“This little guy should be able to condense a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring,” the Green Lotus Sword Deity said, full of anticipation.

Nowadays, no one in the Azure God Continent can condense a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

But this little guy, Yang Xiaotian, he just might be able to!

And that was his purpose for coming to watch the battle.

Yang Xiaotian’s talent had scored seventy-three hundred and twenty-one on the stele, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

He hoped that this little guy would give him another surprise tomorrow.

After Wei Zongyuan left, Yang Xiaotian went to Peach Blossom Peak.

Mu Yunchun was extremely delighted by Yang Xiaotian’s visit and wiggled her round bottom as she brewed tea for him.

The tea was fragrant.

The lady was beautiful.

Yang Xiaotian asked about the damaged True God Flying Ship.

Mu Yunchun, upon hearing Yang Xiaotian inquire about the True God Flying Ship, did not hide anything, “Indeed, our Mu Family has a damaged True God Flying Ship, found by our family’s ancestor in the Demon God Land.”

“It’s now in our Mu Family’s treasure vault.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt relieved.

Mu Yunchun had said that as long as he cured her grandfather’s peculiar cold poison, she would let him choose three treasures.

Having gotten the information he needed, Yang Xiaotian didn’t linger and rose to take his leave.

Mu Yunchun was surprised to see Yang Xiaotian leave so soon and with a spring in her seductive eyes said, “Brother, it’s not often you come to Peach Blossom Peak. Why not stay the night and let sister take good care of you?”

Yang Xiaotian glanced at Mu Yunchun’s charming curves and said, “Let’s save your hospitality for another time.” Then he quickly left with the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor and the others.

Mu Yunchun saw Yang Xiaotian’s ears turn red and let out a bell-like teasing laugh.

After leaving Peach Blossom Peak, Yang Xiaotian returned to Medicine King Peak and practiced the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique in the courtyard.

In recent days, he had perfected the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique up to the forty-fourth move.

Only five moves left until he could completely master the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.

“Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect,” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.

He had already learned that a branch of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect was located in the Zhongzhou of the Buddha Source Empire.

Once he mastered the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique completely, he planned to take a trip to Zhongzhou.

After practicing the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique for a while, the sky had already darkened.

Yang Xiaotian asked the Medicine Cauldron if there was a way to get himself into Celestial Burial Mountain.

Now, he had condensed a million-year Soul Ring and could open the second hall of the Azure God Cave Mansion.

“I can take you inside,” Medicine Cauldron said, “but it will require a cartload of nine-tiered Tribulation Thunder Water.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was somewhat speechless.

Master Ding was clearly taking advantage of the situation.

Nonetheless, for the sake of the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian still used a cartload of nine-tiered Tribulation Thunder Water to have Medicine Cauldron take him into Celestial Burial Mountain.

Once inside Celestial Burial Mountain, Yang Xiaotian passed through the Innate Sword Formation and once again opened the Azure God Cave Mansion.

Standing before the second hall’s great gate, he used the power of the Divine Elixir and the million-year Soul Ring to open the gate.

After finding the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian didn’t browse through the technique but went outside to the Innate Sword Formation to comprehend the myriad Sword Qi of the formation.

These days, he had been diligently cultivating swordsmanship and was getting closer to condensing the ninth Sword Heart. Today, he intended to use the Myriad Swords Qi of the Innate Sword Formation to break through that threshold.

To condense the ninth Sword Heart in one fell swoop!

That was also why he had Medicine Cauldron bring him into Celestial Burial Mountain today.

He was not only after the Sword of Azure God and the Azure God Sword Technique.

He also wanted to condense the ninth Sword Heart before the decisive battle tomorrow!

Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged in the Innate Sword Formation, facing the sea of Myriad Swords Qi, as Sword Qi gradually surged through his body, growing more intense.

“`

The Sword Hearts within him began to awaken one by one.

One, two, three, quickly, all eight Sword Hearts were awakened.

The ninth Sword Heart was flickering in and out of visibility.

But this time was different from the last; the ninth Sword Heart shone with a brilliant sword light, as if it were about to break forth.

As time passed, the ninth Sword Heart became more stable, and the sword light grew increasingly more powerful.

Hum!

Suddenly, the ninth Sword Heart solidified completely.

When the ninth Sword Heart solidified completely, Yang Xiaotian’s nine Sword Hearts shot out dazzling sword lights.

Under the influence of Yang Xiaotian’s nine Sword Hearts, the myriad Sword Qi of the Innate Sword Formation were stirred into a frenzy, swelling like raging waves. The Sword Qi over the entire Celestial Burial Mountain was set ablaze.

However, at this time, Celestial Burial Mountain was shrouded in a grand array, and no one noticed the abnormality.

As Yang Xiaotian was consolidating the ninth Sword Heart, day had already broken.

The radiant sun rose up.

Light flooded Heaven and Earth.

The summit of Celestial Burial Academy, Wangtian Peak, was already teeming with people.

Powerhouses from all sides had almost all rushed to Wangtian Peak as soon as daylight hit.

Experts from nearly all the superpowers in the Buddha Source Empire had arrived.

Eastern Desolate’s He Family, Mu Family, Zhongzhou’s Long Family, the Shi Family, and even the ancient powerhouses of the Phoenix Clan, Golden Divine Clan, and others arrived one after another.

Even many reclusive old monsters and old demons who had not emerged for many years showed one by one.

The powerhouses from all sides, seeing the emergence of distinguished characters seldom seen, were astounded.

Many had not expected that Yang Xiaotian’s decisive battle with Wei Zongyuan would draw so many peerless powerhouses to watch.

“Wei Zongyuan has arrived!” Someone in the crowd shouted.

Wangtian Peak immediately erupted into intense commotion, and everyone looked over to see Wei Zongyuan in a deep blue brocade robe arriving through the sky.

However, Wei Zongyuan was respectfully following behind two individuals.

Seeing these two people, many faces lit up with feverish adoration.

“We have seen Lord Demon Sky!”

“We have seen Lord Sword God!”

One by one, the experts of various sects bowed excitedly.

Even the forebears of the He Family, Mu Family, Long Family, and Shi Family bowed respectfully.

Furthermore, numerous strong powers knelt down in a gesture of respect.

The newcomers were none other than the Demon Sky Sword God and the Peacock Clan Leader, Lan Tianchang.

The Demon Sky Sword God, an invincible deity of swordsmanship, had, more than two thousand years ago, slain four Divine Spirit Powerhouses with a single stroke of his sword, causing a tremor throughout the Eight Desolates.

The Demon Sky Sword God nodded slightly to the crowd and led Wei Zongyuan to the summit of Wangtian Peak.

It took a while for everyone to rise to their feet.

Shortly after, high-level experts from the Buddha Source Imperial Family also arrived in succession.

As time passed, the sun climbed higher in the sky.

But Yang Xiaotian was nowhere to be seen.

“What is taking Yang Xiaotian so long? A mere junior making so many of us strong powers wait here; he’s certainly full of himself!” the patriarch of the He family, He Wei, huffed coldly.

Chen Ting, the Master of the Black Wind Sect, also spoke coldly: “He’s not just full of himself, he’s utterly arrogant!”

The Demon Sky Sword God actually frowned as well.

Clearly, he was displeased with Yang Xiaotian’s delay.

Just as Wei Zongyuan was about to speak, suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Yang Xiaotian is coming!”

All eyes turned to look.

In the sky, a figure was making its approach.

Previously, when Wu Peng of the Sky-Stepping Sect and seventeen Divine Spirits besieged the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian arrived, stepping on Earth Flame and treading through the air. Now, it was the same, with Earth Flame under his feet, he came striding through the sky.
