Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2047: Waiting for 14 Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body Geniuses to Appear

Consequently, Yang Xiaotian decided his first priority would be to acquire a mansion.

Once he cleared the entrance trials of the World Academy and earned the rank of Inner Sect Disciple, his companions would be residing on the World Continent for an extended duration. Therefore, securing a permanent residence was a necessity.

To be honest, it had been a long time since he last needed to purchase property.

While on the Ancestor Continent, the entirety of Myriad Demon City and the Three Pure Saint Sect were under his control, making home-buying redundant.

While various trade organizations throughout the city dealt in real estate, the World Commerce offered a superior selection. Thus, Yang Xiaotian led his group toward the World Commerce headquarters.

While restricted items like Xuanhuang Holy Water or Four Hundred Million Year Divine Medicine were reserved strictly for World Academy disciples, anyone was permitted to buy property.

As they made their way to the World Commerce, Yang Xiaotian noticed that the local gossip in every alleyway centered on a specific Phoenix Clan disciple named Feng Zhong.

"Feng Zhong is truly the most remarkable talent the Phoenix Clan has produced in millions of years! He breezed through all four World Academy trials and earned a 'superior' rating in every single one!"

"I heard that the Ancestor of the Hall of Achievement, Xiao Zheng, and the Ancestor of the Scripture Pavilion, Zhou Qin, are currently fighting over who gets to take him as a Direct Disciple! Their argument over Feng Zhong became so heated that the Dean had to step in personally to mediate."

"What was the outcome? Which master did Feng Zhong eventually select?"

"Zhou Qin is renowned as the most stunning woman on the World Continent. If I were him, I'd choose Zhou Qin without hesitation."

"You're mistaken; Feng Zhong didn't pick either of them."

"What? He rejected them both? That’s just frustrating to hear! Most geniuses would be over the moon to be mentored by any Ancestor of the World Academy, yet Feng Zhong actually turned them down!"

"Word is that Feng Zhong intends to become the apprentice of Dean Bai!" someone whispered cautiously.

"Dean Bai!" The crowd gasped in shock.

Dean Bai was the head of the World Academy!

He was arguably the most powerful figure on the entire World Continent!

For Feng Zhong to aim for Dean Bai as a master was a level of ambition most wouldn't even dare to imagine.

"So, what happened next?" Many listeners grew tense, desperate for the conclusion.

"Dean Bai set a strict requirement long ago: he only accepts disciples who possess the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body." An ancestor sighed, adding, "As incredible as Feng Zhong's talent is, he only possesses the Thirteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body!"

Because of this, Feng Zhong was ultimately turned away!

The crowd broke into collective sighs.

"In the long history of the Holy Realm, only two people have ever possessed the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body. It’s unlikely a third will ever appear. I suspect Dean Bai will never find a talent that meets his standards," a Sect Master remarked while shaking his head.

Throughout the ancient chronicles of the Holy Realm, only two individuals with that specific Holy Body had ever existed—the current Master of the Holy Realm and Long Yi of the Long Clan!

Since their time, no genius with such a top-tier Holy Body had emerged.

Consequently, the general consensus was that Dean Bai’s quest for such a disciple was an impossible dream.

"In truth, Feng Zhong’s talent is the peak of what the World Academy has seen in millions of years. It’s doubtful anyone will ever outshine him. He is more than worthy of being Dean Bai’s Direct Disciple."

"I agree. It’s hard to imagine any future student surpassing him. Feng Zhong possesses a Myriad Grade Holy Lotus and a Holy Path consisting of a hundred thousand Supreme Level Holy Paths. Furthermore, his Dao Heart is the King of Saints! No one alive can top that!"

Everyone shook their heads in resignation.

The King of Saints was ranked as the third most powerful Dao Heart in existence!

To the public, a Myriad Grade Golden Lotus and a hundred thousand Supreme Level Holy Paths represented the absolute pinnacle of power in the world.

Yang Xiaotian remained composed as he listened to the surrounding chatter.

From these conversations, he gathered that Feng Zhong, the once-in-ten-thousand-years genius of the Phoenix Clan, had just passed his entrance exams last month to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

He was now hailed as the greatest talent the World Academy had seen in a million years.

"The strongest in a million years, is he?" Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.

Continuing their walk, the group eventually reached the World Commerce.

The establishment resembled a massive fortress, featuring a gate as wide and towering as a city entrance, with powerful Cultivators constantly flowing in and out.

Upon entering, Yang Xiaotian and his companions found themselves on a massive boulevard suspended in the air, lined with various merchant halls showcasing a vast array of treasures.

Strolling through the area felt like navigating a city built within the clouds.

The group made their way to the House Trading Hall. Because mansions in World City were so exorbitantly priced, this hall was much quieter than the others; only a few hundred people occupied the massive space when they arrived.

Yang Xiaotian approached a clerk and explained his requirements. Upon realizing he was a serious buyer, the attendant eagerly presented the ten most prestigious mansions currently available in World City.

Though Yang Xiaotian had heard rumors about property prices while in the Abyss of Darkness, he was still taken aback when the clerk revealed that every one of the ten mansions cost over one hundred billion.

"One hundred billion!" The companions from the Abyss of Darkness were equally stunned.

"Wait, attendant, I recall the Green Saint Mansion in World City selling for only fifty billion a million years ago. Why have the prices spiked so much?" the Dragon Corpse Beast asked, unable to hide its surprise.

The Green Saint Mansion was legendary, yet it had cost only fifty billion back then. Now, houses a full tier lower were starting at over a hundred billion!

The clerk blinked in surprise before smiling at the Dragon Corpse Beast. "Senior, you are talking about prices from a million years ago. Things are very different now."

"If that Green Saint Mansion were put on the market today, it would fetch at least three hundred billion."

Three hundred billion!

Even though Yang Xiaotian had plundered the treasuries of the Li Family, the Batian Demon Sect, and Yin Ghost Mountain, the sheer magnitude of that number left him momentarily speechless.

"Tell me more about the Wandao Mansion," Yang Xiaotian requested.

Of the ten options, the Wandao Mansion boasted the premier location in the heart of World City. It sat where the Holy Spirit Aura was most potent, offering the greatest benefits for Cultivation.

It was also the most spacious, which appealed to Yang Xiaotian's preferences.

However, the price for the Wandao Mansion was steeper than the others, sitting at one hundred ninety billion.

Seeing his interest, the clerk beamed. "Young Master, you have excellent taste. The Wandao Mansion is the crown jewel of our current listings. Its size and location are on par with the famous Green Saint Mansion."

The only reason the price wasn't higher was that the interior materials weren't quite as legendary as those in the Green Saint Mansion. However, with the mountain of Heaven and Earth Treasures Yang Xiaotian had collected, he could easily renovate it himself.

After hearing the full description, Yang Xiaotian nodded. "I'll take the Wandao Mansion."

"Excellent, Young Master! I'll prepare the documents for you immediately," the clerk replied, clearly delighted.

Just as the attendant started to lead Yang Xiaotian toward the closing desk, a group of World Academy Inner Sect Disciples marched into the hall.

"Stop!" the leader of the disciples shouted. "I am buying the Wandao Mansion!"
