Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2061: Bright Heavenly Book

The Master of the Holy Realm is arriving in person!

Yang Xiaotian’s heart grew heavy the moment he heard the news.

While most would consider the presence of the Master of the Holy Realm at their apprenticeship ceremony to be a supreme distinction, for him, it was an ominous sign.

"It isn't just the Master of the Holy Realm; the Evil Leader and the Mad Demon might also make an appearance! It is even possible the First Demon will attend," the Abyss of Darkness remarked with a somber expression.

It was clear that the Master of the Holy Realm opposed Yang Xiaotian taking Bai Yan as his master.

Meanwhile, the Evil Leader and the Mad Demon were intent on seizing Yang Xiaotian for themselves.

As for the First Demon!

The mere thought of the First Demon cast a strange, suffocating weight over everyone present.

Although the Mad Demon ranked second within the Holy Realm Demon Sect and was a figure of terror to the realm's strongest experts, the First Demon remained the undisputed peak of the Demon Sect!

The First Demon possessed strength that defied imagination.

The Evil Leader had once confessed that in his entire life, he only truly feared two individuals: the Master of the Holy Realm and the First Demon!

Given that Yang Xiaotian possessed the First of Eternity Heart, had forged the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, and had even manifested the Chaotic King Totem, his decision to become Bai Yan's disciple was bound to draw the gaze of the entire Holy Realm.

"The First Demon," Yang Xiaotian whispered to himself.

The true identity of the First Demon remained a mystery to the world.

Yang Xiaotian had previously questioned Master Ding regarding the First Demon, but even he possessed very little information.

After spending the night at Hongmeng Mansion, Yang Xiaotian spoke with his companions and requested that they look into the whereabouts of the Primordial Universe Taoist.

His senior brother mentioned that the Primordial Universe Taoist had visited the World Academy in search of the Origin Daoist, yet no news of him had surfaced over the past two days.

As for the Origin Daoist, who held the status of an ancestor, he had departed several months prior.

Nevertheless, Master Bai Yan had already sent word to all the ancestors currently traveling abroad, summoning them to return before the apprenticeship ceremony commenced.

The following morning, Yang Xiaotian made his way back to the World Academy.

Once inside his private palace at the academy, he utilized the Chaos Star King Divine Flame to begin the process of merging the Dao Holy Flame.

The fusion was a success; the Chaos Star King Divine Flame evolved into the Chaos Star King Holy Fire without issue.

He immediately took command of the Seven Great Chaotic Holy Fires to begin refining Saint Venerable Pills.

His initial progress was sluggish, yielding only four pills every hour.

However, as he gained momentum, his speed surged. By the day's end, he was producing ten pills per hour.

Yang Xiaotian continued this tireless refinement for over a month, exhausting his entire stock of purchased medicinal herbs. By the time he finished, he possessed ten thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills.

Even Master Ding was struck with admiration, remarking, "Truly, it is the alchemists who amass wealth the fastest."

On the World Continent, the Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pill was a coveted treasure. These ten thousand pills represented a staggering fortune—a sum that many established families on the continent could never hope to afford.

"Thirteen Tribulations." Yang Xiaotian examined the translucent, high-grade pill in his hand before swallowing it. It dissolved instantly, sending a surge of medicinal power through his limbs. The sensation was incredibly potent, making him feel as though his body might burst from the internal pressure.

Within the Holy Realm, the Fourteenth Tribulation Elixir represented the absolute pinnacle of alchemy.

Even on the World Continent, such elixirs were so rare they might only appear once in ten thousand years.

However, he still needed to secure another two thousand contribution points.

If he could acquire two thousand more clusters of Dao Holy Flame, he would gain control over the Eight Great Chaotic Holy Fires, enabling him to refine Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Elixirs.

"Your current soul strength is still too weak to command the Eight Great Chaotic Holy Fires," Master Ding cautioned. "To manage them, your divine soul power must be at least twice as strong as it is now."

While a two-fold increase might sound simple, it was a daunting prospect. Yang Xiaotian’s soul power was already immense; the higher the level, the more difficult it became to achieve further breakthroughs.

Yang Xiaotian nodded in understanding. He still possessed several Sources of Chaos, which he could use to bolster his soul power.

"Master Ding, if I reach the Fifteen Level Holy Land, will I be able to forge the Fifteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body?" Yang Xiaotian inquired.

"No," Master Ding answered. "While the Fifteen Level Holy Land is a prerequisite for the Fifteenth Holy Body, there is one additional condition that must be met."

One more condition!

Yang Xiaotian chose not to press for details yet. He decided he would learn the final requirement once he attained the Saint Venerable Realm.

For the time being, his focus was on cultivating the elemental powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The World Commerce did stock Five Elements Sacred Soil, but it required contribution points to purchase.

Furthermore, one had to place in the top ten of the Inner Sect Disciple Competition to even be eligible to buy it from them.

Fortunately, the competition was scheduled for the end of the year, shortly after his apprenticeship ceremony, so the wait would not be long.

The pressing issue remained the accumulation of contribution points.

With a sufficient supply of Thirteen Tribulation pills refined, he headed to the Mission Hall to investigate the various assignments offered by the World Academy.

Upon his arrival, he was greeted warmly by Elder Guo Yi. Understanding that Yang Xiaotian was there to browse tasks, the Elder provided a thorough explanation.

The academy's tasks were divided into ten distinct ranks.

Level one tasks were the simplest, while level ten tasks were the most grueling, often referred to as "super tasks."

A level one task granted one hundred contribution points. Rewards increased by a hundred for each level, with level ten tasks offering a full thousand points.

Aside from these missions, disciples could also earn points through their performance in the Inner Sect Disciple Competition or by achieving high marks during external training exercises.

Yang Xiaotian scanned the list, which contained over ten thousand different entries across all ranks.

Suddenly, his eyes locked onto two specific level ten tasks.

One mission stated that anyone capable of activating the Bright Heavenly Book would receive one thousand contribution points and a high-grade Bright Holy Pill.

"A reward involving a high-grade Bright Holy Pill!" Yang Xiaotian's interest was piqued.

Such a pill was crafted from a thousand rare light-attributed herbs, and its potency far exceeded that of many hundred-million-year-old divine medicines.

Noticing Yang Xiaotian’s focus on that particular task, Guo Yi smiled and explained, "The headmaster and several ancestors obtained that Bright Heavenly Book during their travels. However, even with their combined efforts, they were unable to open it."

"Thus, the headmaster created this mission, offering a thousand points and a high-grade Bright Holy Pill to anyone who can unlock its secrets."

Yang Xiaotian asked, "Is the attempt open to everyone?"

"Indeed, any disciple of the World Academy is permitted to try," Guo Yi confirmed.

"I would like to attempt it. Could you lead the way, Elder Guo?" Yang Xiaotian requested.

"Of course," Guo Yi agreed. After obtaining permission from the Mission Hall ancestor, Luo Chong, he immediately escorted Yang Xiaotian to the palace where the Bright Heavenly Book was kept.
