Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2032: Ghost Dragon Ancestor Cave Mansion

Upon witnessing the arrival of the Sect Master, the Supreme Elder began to move forward to pay his respects. However, he froze as the Sect Master sprinted toward Yang Xiaotian instead, cupping his fists in a formal salute while exclaiming, "So it is the Lord of Myriad Demons!"

The Elder's mind erupted in a chaotic roar.

Anything spoken after that moment became a total blur to him.

Young Master White Dragon, Buddha Son Shengtian, and the other disciples waiting for their assessments all gaped at Yang Xiaotian. Their expressions were filled with the kind of intense shock one might have when encountering a truly terrifying entity.

Ever since Yang Xiaotian had crushed the Batian Demon Lord, seized Myriad Demon City, claimed the title of Sect Hierarch of the Three Pure Saint Sect, and absorbed Yin Ghost Mountain, his standing had shifted. In the eyes of the various Sect Masters and Great Emperors across the Ancestor Continent, he was now an equal to the Ancestor Clan Chief.

Naturally, his reputation among disciples like Young Master White Dragon and Buddha Son Shengtian was even more legendary.

To many of these young cultivators, Yang Xiaotian had become a figure of absolute faith.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Lord of Myriad Demons!" Numerous disciples fell to their knees, prostrating themselves in a state of wild excitement.

Observing the visible nerves of Sect Master Li Fang of the Wuding Sect, Yang Xiaotian returned the salute. "It is a pleasure to meet Sect Master Li," he remarked calmly. He then added, "Our original intent was merely to visit the Holy Weapon Hall to view the sacred treasures, but we stumbled into a minor dispute. I apologize for disturbing Sect Master Li."

Li Fang felt immensely honored by Yang Xiaotian’s polite explanation. He replied hurriedly, "If the Holy Master and these seniors wished to view the sacred weapons in the Holy Weapon Hall, you only had to say the word. I shall personally escort you all inside immediately."

With those words, he made a welcoming gesture toward the hall.

However, Yang Xiaotian shook his head. "Since the Wuding Sect requires an assessment to enter the Holy Weapon Hall, we should follow the established Cultivation rules rather than disrupting them."

These words caused the Supreme Elder, Young Master White Dragon, and several others to lower their heads, flushed with shame.

Consequently, under the watchful eye of Sect Master Li Fang himself, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon took part in the trial.

The test was actually quite straightforward; one simply had to successfully refine a specific weapon chosen by the Wuding Sect on the spot.

While crafting this particular weapon might be a daunting task for typical disciples, it presented no challenge at all for Yang Xiaotian or the Annihilating Heaven Demon.

Throughout the forging process, Yang Xiaotian didn't even bother to summon the Six Great Chaotic Holy Fire, choosing instead to refine the item with a casual air.

Yet, despite his relaxed manner, his movements appeared miraculous to the eyes of Young Master White Dragon and Buddha Son Shengtian!

The two young geniuses, along with the other onlookers, remained in a state of prolonged disbelief.

Inevitably, Yang Xiaotian and his group passed the trial. Accompanied by the Wuding Sect’s leader, they finaly stepped into the Holy Weapon Hall.

The various Wuding Sect Ancestors who arrived later didn't dare follow them inside; instead, they waited outside the hall in an anxious cluster.

Once inside the Holy Weapon Hall, Yang Xiaotian began to study the sacred armaments one by one.

Even though his primary focus over the years had been the Dao of alchemy, he had never abandoned his studies in artifact refining. He found great inspiration while examining the masterpieces personally forged by the Wuding Ancestor.

As he observed these treasures, Yang Xiaotian mentally broke down the Wuding Ancestor's smithing methods, deducing how he might improve upon them with his own techniques.

By the time the group exited the hall, the morning sun had already climbed into the sky.

With great reverence, Sect Master Li Fang invited Yang Xiaotian’s party further into the Wuding Sect’s inner sanctum.

Since Yang Xiaotian’s goal was to meet the Great Ancestor of the Wuding Sect, he accepted the invitation.

Led by the Sect Master and several high-ranking Ancestors, the group passed through the main gates.

Upon arriving, Li Fang organized a grand banquet, providing a warm and lavish welcome for his guests.

After several rounds of wine, Yang Xiaotian finally revealed his true reason for the visit.

When Li Fang learned that Yang Xiaotian wanted the Great Ancestor to identify a specific weapon, he looked hesitant. "To be perfectly honest, Holy Master, our Great Ancestor departed last month. He likely won't return for quite some time."

The news of the Great Ancestor’s absence caught Yang Xiaotian and his companions off guard.

After a moment of thought, Yang Xiaotian asked, "Do you happen to know his current location?"

His need to find the Great Ancestor wasn't just for the appraisal of the Luo Tian Bell; he also needed to ask about the Ghost Dragon Ancestor.

Li Fang paused, then answered, "Normally, the movements of our Great Ancestor are kept strictly secret. However, given that the Holy Master is the one asking, I shall tell you."

"Our Great Ancestor has traveled to the World Academy."

"What? The World Academy!" Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon exchanged looks of pure astonishment.

None of them had anticipated that the Wuding Ancestor would be at such a place.

"Is there a specific reason he went there?" Yang Xiaotian pressed.

"That is unknown to us," Li Fang said with a shake of his head. "It’s possible he is trying to forge a unique weapon and requires materials only found at the World Academy. But that is merely my own speculation."

Yang Xiaotian felt a wave of disappointment. If that were true, the search for rare materials could keep the Wuding Ancestor away for a very long time.

"Holy Master, would it be possible for me to see the weapon you wanted the Great Ancestor to look at?" Li Fang asked, his curiosity piqued.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotian produced the Luo Tian Bell and passed it to him.

Li Fang initially looked at the bell with casual interest, but as he examined it more closely, his eyes widened. "The Luo Tian Bell?"

Yang Xiaotian was startled by the man's reaction.

"Sect Master Li, are you familiar with this bell?" Yang Xiaotian inquired.

Li Fang nodded slowly. "Our Great Ancestor has actually been searching for the Luo Tian Bell for a long time."

Yang Xiaotian was baffled. Why would the Great Ancestor of the Wuding Sect be hunting for this specific item?

"Do you know why he wants it so badly?" Yang Xiaotian asked.

Li Fang shook his head again. "I am not entirely sure. The Great Ancestor only mentioned that the Luo Tian Bell would be of immense use to him."

Of immense use?

This only deepened Yang Xiaotian's intrigue.

It seemed certain that the Wuding Ancestor understood the true history of the Luo Tian Bell, which fueled his search.

"Sect Master Li, I also came here to ask the Great Ancestor about the Ghost Dragon Ancestor," Yang Xiaotian said, shifting the topic after some thought.

At the mention of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor, Li Fang hesitated before speaking. "In the distant past, the Ghost Dragon Ancestor actually lived and practiced his Cultivation within the Wuding Sect for a period."

"The residence he occupied back then is still preserved. He once claimed that if someone possessed the right destiny, they could enter his cave mansion, and all the treasures within would be theirs."

"However, throughout the years, not a single disciple of our Wuding Sect has proven to have that destiny."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of hope. He cupped his hands and asked, "Sect Master Li, would you allow me to make an attempt?"

Li Fang smiled. "The Ghost Dragon Ancestor never limited the challenge to our disciples alone. Come, Holy Master, I will lead you there myself."

Following that, Li Fang escorted Yang Xiaotian and his party toward the ancient cave mansion where the Ghost Dragon Ancestor had once resided.
