Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2022: Next Time You’ll Surely Find It

Yang Xiaotian did not linger a moment longer after he successfully fused with the Ancestor’s Heart. He departed from the gloomy canyon to resume his hunt for the Red Dragon Mad Demon, the Dao Sacred Flame, and the Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water.

Since he now possessed the Ancestor’s Heart, the threat of the Ancestor Great Array was gone. He was able to roam the Ancestor Ruins freely without fear of being targeted.

Consequently, the pace of Yang Xiaotian’s search improved tremendously.

After several days of traveling, he eventually discovered the Dao Sacred Flame within a massive Sea of Flames!

The quantity of Dao Sacred Flame he found was staggering!

There was enough Dao Sacred Flame present to facilitate the evolution of his sixth Chaos Divine Fire into Chaos Holy Fire.

Filled with joy, Yang Xiaotian gathered all of the Dao Sacred Flame and secured it within the Kaiyuan Cauldron, planning to refine it once he had departed from the ruins.

However, another ten days slipped by, and Yang Xiaotian remained unable to locate either the Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water or the site where the Red Dragon Mad Demon was held captive.

The Secret Realm of the Ancestor Ruins was incredibly vast. Even at his maximum flight speed, it would likely take Yang Xiaotian a decade to traverse its entire circumference. Locating the Red Dragon Mad Demon in just one month was proving to be a monumental task.

Fortunately, with only a few days remaining before the Ancestor Ruins closed, Yang Xiaotian finally tracked down the imprisoned Red Dragon Mad Demon in a desolate, Uninhabited Mountain Range.

The Red Dragon Mad Demon was shackled deep beneath the earth. Had it not been for Yang Xiaotian’s Innate Demon Seed and Innate Demon God Power—which granted him an incredible sensitivity to Demon’s Aura—discovering someone hidden so far underground would have been nearly impossible.

Because the Ancestor Soul did not interfere with him, Yang Xiaotian rescued the Red Dragon Mad Demon with ease.

The Red Dragon Mad Demon was overcome with emotion upon seeing Yang Xiaotian’s Wanmo Holy Order and the Chaos Demon Hall.

He never imagined that their new Holy Master would brave such immense danger by entering the Ancestor Ruins specifically to save him.

"Holy Master, from now on, the Red Dragon is at your side, braving any danger," the Red Dragon Mad Demon vowed with deep respect as he prostrated himself before Yang Xiaotian.

"No need to be so courteous, senior Red Dragon," Yang Xiaotian said, helping him to his feet. "It’s what I should do." He then summoned the Primordial Life Holy Tree and channeled the Ultimate Life Holy Body to begin healing the prisoner.

Even though the Ancestor Clan Chief had not held him for an extended period, the Red Dragon Mad Demon had been brutally tortured and was severely injured.

The Red Dragon Mad Demon felt a wave of shock and gratitude as he watched Yang Xiaotian employ the Ultimate Life Holy Body for his recovery.

By utilizing the power of the Thirty Layer Ultimate Life Holy Body alongside the Primordial Life Holy Body, Yang Xiaotian managed to mend the Red Dragon Mad Demon’s wounds significantly in just one day.

His recovery had reached roughly fifty to sixty percent.

Seeing the progress, Yang Xiaotian halted the treatment.

Only three days remained before the Ancestor Ruins would be sealed once more.

In this short time, they needed to capture a disciple of the Ancestor clan. The Red Dragon Mad Demon would then need to take on that disciple's appearance so they could leave the ruins undetected.

If the Red Dragon Mad Demon attempted to leave in his true form, there would be no way to escape. The Ancestor Clan Chief, Nie Heng, and various Ancestor Elders were all standing guard outside. Not only would the Red Dragon Mad Demon be caught, but Yang Xiaotian would also be compromised and trapped.

While the six Netherworld Fish experts possessed great power, they were not formidable enough to take on the entire Ancestor clan at once.

Furthermore, the Ancestor Clan Chief was undoubtedly more powerful than the Batian Demon Lord.

It was uncertain if even all six Netherworld Fish acting together could withstand the Ancestor Clan Chief's might.

Thus, Yang Xiaotian and the Red Dragon Mad Demon set out to find a suitable Ancestor clan disciple.

During their search, Yang Xiaotian inquired if the Red Dragon Mad Demon knew where the Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water might be.

The Red Dragon Mad Demon could only shake his head. Since he had been captured and immediately thrown into a dungeon by the Ancestor Clan Chief, he had no knowledge of the Ancestor Ruins' geography.

Yang Xiaotian was still puzzled by how the Ancestor Clan Chief had managed to lock the Red Dragon Mad Demon inside this realm.

According to the rules he knew, the entrance to the Ancestor Ruins was restricted to those below the Holy Emperor Realm.

Since both the Ancestor Clan Chief and the Red Dragon Mad Demon were powerhouses far exceeding the Holy Emperor Realm, how had they gained entry?

"The Ancestor Clan Chief possesses a Secret Technique that can momentarily bypass the channel's restrictions. However, this Secret Technique is a secret known only to the successive clan chiefs of the Ancestor clan," the Red Dragon Mad Demon explained.

Yang Xiaotian nodded in understanding.

Hiding the Red Dragon Mad Demon within the Ancestor Ruins was indeed a masterstroke of security.

"Even though the Ancestor Clan Chief can bypass the restriction to bring me in, anyone above the Holy Emperor Realm is forbidden from taking anything out of the Ancestor Ruins. Furthermore, any actions exceeding the Holy Emperor Realm are heavily suppressed within this space," the Red Dragon Mad Demon added.

Yang Xiaotian nodded again.

Since the Red Dragon Mad Demon’s power was so restricted, the task of hunting for an Ancestor clan disciple fell solely on Yang Xiaotian.

Fortunately, on the final day of the trials, Yang Xiaotian succeeded in finding and capturing an Ancestor clan disciple.

The Red Dragon Mad Demon then assumed the disciple’s form, meticulously mimicking his movements and personality until Yang Xiaotian was satisfied that the disguise was flawless.

To ensure total safety, they also forged an Ancestor Certificate.

With those preparations complete and only one day left, Yang Xiaotian continued his search for the Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water, hoping for a last-minute discovery.

Outside, the Ancestor Clan Chief, Nie Heng, and the others continued to monitor the status of the Ancestor Ruins.

The Ancestor Clan Chief had considered calling off the trials if the death toll among the disciples rose further, but since the casualties had stopped, he allowed it to proceed.

"It seems Nie Qin and the others truly did run into an evil spirit?" one of the Ancestor elders remarked.

"Something still feels wrong about this," Nie Heng muttered, refusing to accept that his prize disciple had been killed by a mere spirit.

The Ancestor Clan Chief thought for a moment. "Once the trials conclude tomorrow and the disciples emerge, we will conduct a rigorous inspection to confirm the identity of every major disciple."

One day later.

The time for the trial in the Ancestor Ruins finally expired.

Regrettably, Yang Xiaotian had not been able to find the Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water before the end.

As the gates opened, Yang Xiaotian and the disguised Red Dragon Mad Demon exited the Ancestor Ruins alongside the crowd of disciples.

Immediately upon their exit, the Ancestor Clan Chief gave the command for a thorough identification check of every person present.

As the inspection began, Yang Xiaotian focused intensely on suppressing the aura of the Ancestor’s Heart. He knew that if the high-ranking members of the Ancestor clan sensed it, they would kill him instantly to reclaim their treasure.

Luckily, the forged Ancestor Certificate they had prepared for the Red Dragon Mad Demon held up under scrutiny.

After a Supreme Elder of the Ancestor clan finished his careful verification, Yang Xiaotian and his companion passed without being exposed.

Satisfied, the Ancestor Clan Chief dismissed the disciples.

The Ancestor Clan Chief then began the journey back to the clan headquarters with the Ancestor Saint Heir.

Along the way, the Clan Chief asked his son about his experiences in the ruins. In response, the Saint Heir produced a Jade Vase. When opened, it was revealed to be brimming with Fourteenth Layer Dao Holy Water.

There were more than a thousand portions inside!

The Ancestor Clan Chief was delighted to see his son had gathered so much, laughing heartily, "Good, very good!"

The Ancestor Saint Heir smiled, though a hint of regret remained. "It is a shame I could not locate the Ancestor’s Heart."

"Do not worry," the Ancestor Clan Chief said with a laugh. "When the Ancestor Ruins open again, you can search once more. I am certain you will find it next time."
