Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2058: The Apprenticeship Ceremony After Half a Year
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
In a flash, the count reached 129,600 Chaos Laws!
"Is that the Chaos Law? Has he actually condensed the Chaos Totem?!" Some of the disciples, bewildered by the sight, cried out in amazement as they watched Yang Xiaotian’s laws manifest.
The moment he stopped speaking, he heard the Sect Ancestor standing next to him. The elder's voice was trembling with a mix of feverish excitement and intense agitation as he corrected him, "No, those are not Chaos Laws!"
"That is the Chaos King Law! It is truly the Chaos King Law!"
Chaos King Law!
The realization hit the minds of every disciple like a thunderclap.
If it truly was the Chaos King Law, then wouldn't that imply...?!
While the crowd stood frozen in disbelief, the 129,600 Chaos Laws began to merge, forming a colossal totem.
A totem of such staggering proportions had never been witnessed before.
Resembling a massive, radiant sun, the totem emitted billions of light rays. Within this radiance, Buddha Light saturated the entire realm, overflowing with an intense life force.
The chanting of Ten Thousand Buddhas echoed throughout the Secret Realm.
This divine sound even pierced through the boundaries of the Secret Realm's space, reaching all the way to the Assessment Hall.
On the patch of earth where Yang Xiaotian stood, vitality erupted. The once desolate ground was suddenly covered in lush green sprouts.
Everyone stared at this totem of light in a state of absolute shock.
Meanwhile, the Mad Demon and Evil Head looked toward the sky and bellowed, "I hate it! I hate this so much!"
They were filled with regret for not being more ruthless earlier. They should have fought the World Academy to seize this youth!
Now, they had let this golden opportunity slip through their fingers!
"Chaotic King Totem!" Bai Yan’s low, resonant voice filled the hall.
Although Bai Yan fought to keep his composure, his voice betrayed him with a noticeable tremor.
After all, who could remain calm when witnessing the appearance of the Chaotic King Totem?
Yang Xiaotian threw a punch. The combined might of his Sacred Body, Holy Path, and Totem exploded from his fist, surging toward the Fierce Beasts. Upon impact, the beasts were blasted apart, dissolving into particles and light before being completely purified by the Buddha’s light.
Nothing remained of them; it was as if the Fierce Beasts had never been there at all.
After the force of Yang Xiaotian’s strike obliterated several beasts, it continued toward the horizons of Heaven and Earth. Every Restriction it touched shook violently, looking as though it might shatter into pieces.
Yang Xiaotian did not stop and continued his flight forward.
Any Fierce Beasts he encountered were mowed down instantly.
On the rare occasion that Yang Xiaotian was caught within a Grand Array, he simply struck out with both fists. Even arrays designed to slay those at the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer Peak were smashed aside by his power.
Once free from the arrays, Yang Xiaotian resumed his forward charge.
Just like the third stage, the requirement for passing was to slay ten thousand Fierce Beasts that were stronger than his own realm. Very quickly, Yang Xiaotian reached that ten thousand mark.
However, after killing ten thousand, Yang Xiaotian continued his slaughter.
In this fourth stage, a Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine would be granted if he could slay one hundred thousand beasts.
If he managed to kill two hundred thousand, he would receive two of them!
Because of this, he set his sights on a minimum of two hundred thousand kills.
It wasn't long before Yang Xiaotian hit the hundred thousand mark, and in under two hours, he reached two hundred thousand.
Once he had slain two hundred thousand Fierce Beasts, Yang Xiaotian ceased his offensive and sat down to begin Cultivation within the Secret Realm until the day concluded.
"Two hundred thousand!" Xiao Zheng muttered while watching Yang Xiaotian cultivate, his heart heavy with emotion.
Years ago, the Master of the Holy Realm and Long Yi were unable to kill even a hundred thousand beasts when they faced this fourth stage, yet Yang Xiaotian had effortlessly reached two hundred thousand.
The disparity between them was painfully obvious.
While the powerful experts from every faction were stunned, each began to harbor their own private thoughts.
One day later, Yang Xiaotian stepped out from the fourth stage of the Secret Realm.
As he emerged, Bai Yan approached him immediately. With an eager smile, he asked, "Child, are you willing to become my disciple?"
The eyes of everyone present fixed upon Yang Xiaotian.
The crowd was a mix of envy, jealousy, and fanatical admiration.
Yang Xiaotian hadn't expected Bai Yan to offer a public discipleship so abruptly. However, he didn't pause. He respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Disciple greets Master!"
Bai Yan had been quite anxious, but seeing Yang Xiaotian accept, his heart finally found peace. He excitedly grabbed Yang Xiaotian’s arm, acting somewhat flustered. "Excellent! Haha! Starting today, you are my disciple!"
"My one and only disciple!"
He had waited for this moment for countless years.
Finally, after an eternity of waiting, his wish had been fulfilled.
"Our congratulations to the Dean!"
The various Ancestors in the hall, along with the Sect disciples and experts, offered their congratulations in unison.
"Thank you, thank you all," Bai Yan replied with a hearty laugh.
The atmosphere was filled with joy and celebration.
Afterward, Bai Yan escorted Yang Xiaotian into the World Academy, intending to have his sole disciple collect his Inner Sect Disciple robes and Identity Token.
Before entering the Academy, Yang Xiaotian told the Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and his other companions to wait for him at Hongmeng Mansion.
A group of Academy Ancestors, including Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, Teng Si, and Luo Chong, also followed Bai Yan back into the World Academy.
The powerful figures from the various factions slowly began to disperse.
However, Mr. Wugou remained sitting outside the hall, whispering to himself that everything was over.
Under Bai Yan’s guidance, Yang Xiaotian entered the grounds of the World Academy.
The sheer scale of the World Academy was far greater than he had imagined. Even though his movement speed was much faster than Inner Sect students at the Holy Emperor Tenth Layer Peak, it still took considerable time to reach the All Things Hall to receive his robes and token.
Once he obtained the Inner Sect Disciple robe and Identity Token, Yang Xiaotian’s status was officially registered. From that moment on, he was a true Inner Sect Disciple of the World Academy.
Even though he was Bai Yan’s personal disciple, the formal master-disciple ceremony had not yet occurred. Consequently, his cultivation cave mansion was temporarily located within the Inner Sect Disciple sector.
Of course, the accommodations for Inner Sect Disciples were quite high-end. Every disciple possessed their own independent mountain, each of which had been specially modified by the academy. Furthermore, every mountain featured a palace built from premium materials.
For most Inner Sect Disciples, the materials used for their palaces were identical.
Only the top ten disciples had palaces constructed from different, superior materials.
The first-ranked Inner Sect Disciple, in particular, possessed a palace made from the finest materials of all.
Despite being Bai Yan’s disciple, if Yang Xiaotian wanted to live in the best palace, he had to issue a challenge and defeat the current top-ranked disciple.
Thus, that very day, Yang Xiaotian challenged the rank-one student. In the specific arena for Inner Sect Disciples, he easily claimed victory and subsequently moved into the premier palace.
After consulting with Yang Xiaotian, Bai Yan scheduled the formal master-disciple ceremony for six months later.
Since Bai Yan was the Dean, taking a disciple was a monumental event for both the World Academy and the World Continent. Once the date was set, the entire academy became a whirlwind of activity, filled with cheer and excitement.
Upon hearing that the ceremony was six months away, the Mad Demon’s eyes flashed. "Six months, is it?"
No matter what it took, he had to find a way to kidnap Yang Xiaotian before then.
He was prepared to pay any price to sabotage this ceremony.
