Chapter 329: Chapter 329: The Opening of Martial Emperor City

Watching the ten nine-colored Sword Qi from Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Hearts, the three Iceflame Qilins were shaken and could hardly contain their excitement.

These were ten Sword Hearts!

And they were the invincible Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.

Ten of them!

On the Azure God Continent, geniuses are many, but throughout the ages, it had been extremely rare to see someone forge nine Sword Hearts, let alone ten.

The three remained shocked for a long time.

Eventually, the ten nine-colored Sword Qi dissipated, and the invincible power that shrouded heaven and earth slowly vanished.

Yang Xiaotian emerged from the secret chamber.

The three excitedly approached Yang Xiaotian and bowed, “Congratulations to the young master for forging ten Sword Hearts. You are unparalleled!”

Yang Xiaotian asked them to rise, feeling excitement that he also could scarcely suppress.

At last, he had forged ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts.

Generally speaking, ten Sword Hearts were considered the pinnacle.

Many monstrous Sword Dao geniuses, even if they spent their entire lives striving, could only forge ten Sword Hearts.

And now, he had reached the realm that so many Sword Dao geniuses would spend their entire lives trying to achieve.

Elated, Yang Xiaotian took out three saint-level Elixirs and gave one to each of them.

Once again, the three thanked Yang Xiaotian profusely.

Especially the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, who was even more indebted to Yang Xiaotian.

Having been a Demigod already, he had followed Yang Xiaotian for some time, practicing with saint-level Elixirs, and had long reached the peak of the Demigod level, now with one more saint-level Elixir, his breakthrough to Divine Spirit was within reach.

After that, on the way, Yang Xiaotian began practicing Thunderclap Nine Heavens.

Instantly, Sword Qi lit up the Nine Heavens once again.

The Divine Thunder rolled, vast as the sea.

Half a month later, Yang Xiaotian had also successfully mastered all forty-nine moves of Thunderclap Nine Heavens.

From beginning to end, Yang Xiaotian practiced Thunderclap Nine Heavens, delving into the Divine Thunder Sword Path.

Once he had fully comprehended the Divine Thunder Sword Path, he would have the prospect of forging an eleventh Sword Heart!

However, without the Ancient Thunder God Sword, he always felt as though there was a thin veil preventing him from truly understanding the Divine Thunder Sword Path.

Actually, even without the Ancient Thunder God Sword, he could still fully comprehend the Divine Thunder Sword Path, it would just take longer, perhaps three or four years.

But with the Ancient Thunder God Sword, it might just take a few days to fully grasp the Divine Thunder Sword Path.

Thus, when he got the chance in the future, he would have to return to the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion to see if he could find the Ancient Thunder God Sword.

Unable to fully grasp the Divine Thunder Sword Path, Yang Xiaotian began browsing through the Alchemy Secret Manual and Artifact Refining Secret Tome of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.

Typically, an alchemy expert is also an artifact refining expert. The cave mansion of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God contained several Secret Tomes of artifact refining as well.

So, in his spare moments, Yang Xiaotian attempted to control the two Divine Flames and refine divine-grade weapons.

One day, as Yang Xiaotian was perusing an Artifact Refining Secret Tome, the Iceflame Qilin came to report that Martial Emperor City in Zhongzhou was close.

Yang Xiaotian came out of the secret chamber and saw rolling hills in the distance. Beyond the countless layers of hills, there was an extremely majestic city.

That was Martial Emperor City.

The ancient Martial Emperor, proclaimed by many strong beings in the Buddha Source Empire as the once-in-an-eternity emperor.

The Martial Arts left behind by the Martial Emperor were, of course, extremely extraordinary.

When Yang Xiaotian arrived in Martial Emperor City, he saw that the surrounding hillocks were swarming with people.

The opening of Martial Emperor City attracted almost all the experts from the major superpowers in Buddha Source Empire.

Not only from Buddha Source Empire, but experts from surrounding empires also came.

Looking at the teeming sea of people, buzzing with voices, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, no wonder the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor said that each year the opening of Martial Emperor City was extremely chaotic, there were simply too many people, and conflict was inevitable.

Since there were a few hours left until the opening of Martial Emperor City, Yang Xiaotian decided to sit on a nearby peak to quietly await the opening.

The sea of people suddenly stirred.

“The Buddha Son and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess have arrived!”

A large group of masters appeared from the distance, breaking through the air.

At the forefront were none other than the Buddha Son Tang Huan and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess Yao Qingxue.

“The Buddha Son!”

“The Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess!”

Within the sea of people, some excitedly shouted.

Although in Buddha Light City, Tang Huan did not even have the courage to step up and challenge Yang Xiaotian in the Medicine Path, it did not prevent the disciples of Buddha Source Empire from worshiping Tang Huan fervently.

Ignoring the excitement of the crowd, Tang Huan’s eyes swept across the area, searching for Yang Xiaotian’s figure; Yang Xiaotian should be coming to the opening of Martial Emperor City, right?

Thinking of the scene at the Pharmacist Hall in Buddha Light City, Tang Huan’s fists clenched tightly.

He swore that if he encountered Yang Xiaotian again this time, he must defeat him.

To utterly defeat Yang Xiaotian in front of all the mighty ones gathered!

Only by doing so could he restore the might of the Buddha Son.

Otherwise, it would become a stain in his life.

As Tang Huan searched for Yang Xiaotian, Yao Qingxue was also scanning the crowd, her heart faintly hoping for the appearance of that pale blue figure.

Not long after Tang Huan and Yao Qingxue arrived, the Demon Sky Sword God and Wei Zongyuan also arrived one after another.

The arrival of the Demon Sky Sword God and Wei Zongyuan likewise caused a massive sensation.

“It’s said that Wei Zongyuan’s Soul Ring has evolved to a hundred thousand years!”

“What! A hundred thousand years? How is that possible!”

When the news that Wei Zongyuan’s ninety-nine thousand year Soul Ring had evolved to a hundred thousand years broke out, the sea of people boiled over.

Everyone was shocked and incredulous.

To know even the Demon Sky Sword God did not have a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring when he condensed his, but Wei Zongyuan managed to reach a hundred thousand years?

“Absolutely true! It’s said that the Demon Sky Sword God took him to an ancient place, and after going through life-and-death ordeals, Wei Zongyuan’s Soul Ring finally evolved to a hundred thousand years!” a master exclaimed excitedly.

“Some say Yang Xiaotian’s Soul Ring is also a hundred thousand years, is that true or false?”

“No one has seen Yang Xiaotian’s Soul Ring; I suspect it may not be a hundred thousand years.”

In the sea of people, everyone was arguing endlessly.

After the arrival of the Demon Sky Sword God and Wei Zongyuan, it wasn’t long before the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect Master Liu Xingyu arrived with his disciple Wu Fei.

Accompanying Liu Xingyu were also a group of masters from the Chen Family of Zhongzhou.

The arrival of Liu Xingyu and Wu Fei also caused the crowd to look on and stir violently.

Everyone knew that the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect was one of the mightiest behemoths in Martial Soul World, with the Zhongzhou branch of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect still standing above all the major superpowers of the Buddha Source Empire.

“It’s unknown how Yang Xiaotian offended the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, but Liu Xingyu has issued harsh words, demanding that the Celestial Burial Academy hand Yang Xiaotian over!”

“What, Yang Xiaotian has offended the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect? The Celestial Burial Academy will definitely protect him, right? Now there will be a good show to watch.”

The crowd was abuzz with chatter.

The one discussed the most was naturally Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian remained calm in the face of the discussions around him.

Hours passed, and finally, the lights around Martial Emperor City surged, and the light barrier that had enveloped it vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Martial Emperor City has opened!”

Immediately, the sea of people rushed frantically into Martial Emperor City.

The wide gates of Martial Emperor City felt like they were about to burst from the pressure.

Screams and roars erupted in succession.

The weak were kicked flying, crushed, and trampled to death.

After a while, when things settled down, Yang Xiaotian rose into the air and, along with two others and the Iceflame Qilin, entered Martial Emperor City.
