Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2033: Headed to the World Academy
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Cave Mansion.
This abode was carved directly into the mountainside, built entirely from precious Dragon Clan Ore.
Intricate Dragon Clan Runes blanketed the entire structure, shimmering with power.
Such a distinct Dragon Clan cave mansion appeared quite out of place nestled within the territory of the Wuding Sect.
Li Fang turned to Yang Xiaotian and his companions, explaining, "The Ghost Dragon Ancestor established this cave mansion here at the personal request of our own Lord Ancestor."
"Back in those days, the Ghost Dragon Ancestor provided a great deal of assistance to our Wuding Sect."
He sighed as he looked at the dense layer of Dragon Clan Runes guarding the entrance. "We have attempted many different strategies, yet we have never been able to breach this Dragon Clan Great Formation."
"Even disciples possessing the Dragon Bloodline who have mastered high-level Dragon Clan Cultivation Techniques were unable to break through the barrier."
Although he was aware that Yang Xiaotian possessed the Primordial Dragon Holy Body, Li Fang still doubted that even he could force open this Dragon Clan Great Formation.
After listening to Li Fang's explanation, Yang Xiaotian walked toward the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Cave Mansion. He spent a few moments studying the Dragon Clan Runes before channeling the power of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s Heart from within his body.
A surge of power from the Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s Heart flowed powerfully into the Dragon Clan Great Formation.
Suddenly, the formation erupted in a brilliant glow as every single Dragon Clan Rune was ignited.
Li Fang and the gathered elders of the Wuding Sect watched Yang Xiaotian in utter shock.
Detecting the unmistakable aura of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s Heart coming from Yang Xiaotian, Li Fang cried out in disbelief, "The Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s Heart?!"
He could hardly believe that Yang Xiaotian actually held the Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s Heart!
As the energy from the heart continued to pour in, the entire array of Dragon Clan Runes reached full activation.
A massive suction force pulled Yang Xiaotian into the formation of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Cave Mansion.
Reaching the entrance of the abode, Yang Xiaotian pushed open the heavy doors and stepped inside.
The expressions on the faces of Li Fang and the Wuding Sect elders were complicated.
Li Fang had brought Yang Xiaotian here never truly believing the youth could open the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Cave Mansion, yet Yang Xiaotian had successfully entered it.
This meant that whatever treasures lay within the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Cave Mansion would no longer have any connection to the Wuding Sect.
Upon entering the main hall, Yang Xiaotian found it to be empty, save for a prominent Dragon Pillar that immediately caught his attention.
A single Dragon Clan Rune was etched onto the pillar.
It was a massive character for "Dragon."
The "Dragon" character exuded a sense of absolute dominance, as if it held authority over the entire world.
After investigating it further, Yang Xiaotian triggered the "Dragon" character.
The character flashed with intense light, causing the entire Dragon Pillar to glow, and a Space Ring emerged from the center of the pillar.
Yang Xiaotian grabbed the Space Ring and peered inside, finding it packed with various texts, many Dao Holy Veins, and a single pill bottle.
Opening the bottle, he discovered ten Dragon Clan Heavenly Dragon Pills.
These Heavenly Dragon Pills were legendary treasures of the Dragon Clan, surpassing even the Three Pure Holy Pills in quality.
Yang Xiaotian was filled with a sense of triumph.
He then leafed through the texts, which consisted of Dragon Clan Holy Techniques, Holy Path Secret Manuals, and personal records left by the Ghost Dragon Ancestor.
While the Holy Techniques and Secret Manuals weren't immediately useful to him, the Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s notes contained many secrets of the Dragon Clan. Yang Xiaotian hoped these records might reveal the location of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Body.
After a thorough search of the cave mansion, Yang Xiaotian finally emerged.
The Red Dragon Mad Demon and his party quickly approached him, as did Li Fang and the elders from the Wuding Sect.
Seeing Li Fang, Yang Xiaotian clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and produced a thousand Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills, offering them as a token of gratitude.
Li Fang and the elders stared at the thousand Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills, completely stunned.
"Holy Master, this gift is far too valuable," Li Fang said, waving his hands to refuse.
He had felt a twinge of resentment earlier when Yang Xiaotian claimed the cave's treasures, but now he felt only shame.
Even for a top-tier power like the Wuding Sect, Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills were incredibly scarce.
"Sect Master Li, please take them. I have plenty of Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills," Yang Xiaotian insisted.
Having mastered six Great Chaotic Holy Fires, he could now produce as many Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills as he desired.
Li Fang was speechless, wondering if Yang Xiaotian had perhaps inherited the vast wealth of the Myriad Demon Saint and the Three Pure Saint Masters to possess such a surplus of these pills.
Eventually, Li Fang stopped protesting and accepted the thousand Twelve Tribulations Heavenly Grade Saint Emperor Pills.
Yang Xiaotian did not linger any longer and departed from the Wuding Sect with his followers.
Once they were on the spaceship, Yang Xiaotian began to meticulously study the Ghost Dragon Ancestor’s notes.
He examined every detail with great care.
By the time he finished, Yang Xiaotian’s heart was racing with excitement.
From these records, he had deduced the general location of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Body.
It was on the Three Pure Continents!
Specifically, it was at the Hongmeng Academy on the Three Pure Continents!
While the exact spot remained a mystery, there was a 99% probability it lay within the Dragon Stone Empire of those continents.
Furthermore, the notes frequently alluded to the Ancestor Dragon Tree and someone named Long Yi.
Yang Xiaotian surmised that the Ancestor Dragon Tree was likely located on the World Continent, where the World Academy was situated.
It was even possible that Long Yi’s Dragon Body was also located on that same continent.
However, Yang Xiaotian decided to return to the Three Pure Continents first to absorb the Ghost Dragon Ancestor Dragon Body before traveling to the World Academy's continent to search for the tree and Long Yi’s remains.
During the trip back to the Three Pure Continents, Yang Xiaotian utilized the Heavenly Dragon Pills for his cultivation.
These pills, legendary within the Dragon Clan, rapidly boosted his power, allowing him to soon reach the Saint King Fifth Layer.
Thanks to the Heavenly Dragon Pills, his Primordial Dragon Holy Body also saw a swift increase in strength.
By the time the ten pills were consumed, Yang Xiaotian had not only reached the Saint King Sixth Layer but his Primordial Dragon Holy Body had also ascended to the Thirty-First Layer. It was his second body to reach this level, following the Heavenly Dao Holy Body.
Even though his absence from the Three Pure Continents hadn't been long, stepping back onto its soil felt like returning after a lifetime.
"I wonder how my senior brother is faring? Has Master come back?" Yang Xiaotian wondered.
Since the path to the Dragon Stone Empire passed by Hongmeng Academy, Yang Xiaotian and his group decided to pay a visit.
His senior brother, Teng Yi, was thrilled by Yang Xiaotian's return and they spoke for a long time.
Through Teng Yi, Yang Xiaotian learned that their Master, the Primordial Universe Taoist, had returned briefly before leaving again for the World Academy.
"Master went to the World Academy?" Yang Xiaotian asked, surprised.
"Yes, Master said he was going there to find our Senior Uncle," Teng Yi replied.
Senior Uncle!
"The Origin Daoist?" Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.
Their senior uncle, the Origin Daoist, was the brother of the Primordial Universe Taoist.
Teng Yi nodded. "Senior Uncle has been cultivating at the World Academy. Master went to see him this time, apparently regarding matters concerning the Dragon Clan."
