Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2062: 2062: If They Duel, the Outcome Is Uncertain

While Guo Yi escorted Yang Xiaotian toward the Bright Heavenly Book Palace, a meeting was underway between Luo Chong, Xin Lei, Teng Si, and Xiao Zheng. They were currently coordinating the upcoming disciple acceptance ceremony and the anticipated arrival of the Master of Holy Realm.

After finishing a reply on his Message Talisman, Luo Chong turned to his colleagues. “Xiaotian just visited the Mission Hall; he has taken on the quest to unseal the Bright Heavenly Book.”

The announcement left the room in a state of shock.

“Even with the Academy Head and our collective efforts over the centuries, using every trick we knew, that book remained shut. It is highly improbable that Xiaotian can succeed where we failed,” Teng Si remarked, shaking his head in dismissal.

Despite acknowledging Yang Xiaotian as a generational talent, he maintained that unlocking the Bright Heavenly Book was an impossible feat.

“I concur. I don't see how Xiaotian could possibly open it,” Xin Lei added, echoing the sentiment.

Convinced that the task was beyond the young man, the group shifted their focus back to the Master of Holy Realm.

“Word has it that the Master of Holy Realm intends to bring the Son of the Holy Realm with him,” Xin Lei noted with a heavy expression.

The Son of the Holy Realm!

He was the sole disciple of the Master of Holy Realm, handpicked from millions of candidates.

His genius was undeniable.

Furthermore, under the personal tutelage of the Master of Holy Realm, he had become a monstrous figure, currently holding the position of Junior Academy Head at the Holy Realm Academy.

The news of their joint visit felt like an ill omen.

While the Master of Holy Realm might hesitate to strike Yang Xiaotian directly due to the Creator Lord’s influence, he could easily use the ceremony as a pretext for his disciple to challenge and humiliate him.

“Xiaotian certainly holds the advantage in raw talent, but the Son of the Holy Realm has already reached the Tenth Layer Peak of the Holy Emperor Realm and has successfully manifested the Holy Land. If they duel, the outcome is uncertain,” Xiao Zheng observed, his brow furrowed with worry.

They had all witnessed Yang Xiaotian’s martial prowess.

His ability to summon twelve thousand Kaitian Holy Paths to annihilate a swarm of a hundred thousand Fierce Beasts was legendary, yet they still harbored doubts about his chances.

Victory did not seem guaranteed.

The Son of the Holy Realm was equally formidable.

Since entering the Holy Realm Academy, that youth had also achieved several ancient miracles.

Had they been at the same level—both at the First Layer of the Holy Emperor Realm—they would have backed Yang Xiaotian. However, the nine-realm disparity made the situation precarious.

“It’s a tragedy that Long Yi fell during that conflict years ago,” Teng Si sighed abruptly.

A somber silence filled the room.

The loss of Long Yi remained a deep wound, not only for the countless members of the Long Clan but for the World Academy Elders as well.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian spotted the Bright Heavenly Book Palace in the distance.

Likely due to the artifact within, the entire structure was bathed in shimmering radiance. Even from a distance, the concentrated Power of Bright was palpable to Yang Xiaotian.

“The palace just ahead houses the Bright Heavenly Book,” Guo Yi informed him, his voice full of warmth.

He went on to explain the rules: “Be aware that disciples are granted only three days for comprehension. If the Bright Heavenly Book isn't triggered within that timeframe, you must exit the premises.”

He continued by listing several vital instructions for Yang Xiaotian to follow once inside.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, committing every detail to memory.

For him, three days was an ample window.

As he reached the palace, the intense Power of Bright washed over him, filling his body with a soothing warmth.

Once Yang Xiaotian signaled his readiness, Guo Yi performed a Secret Technique to unseal the entrance. Yang Xiaotian stepped inside while the Elder waited at the threshold.

Inside the hall, the Bright Heavenly Book came into view.

Much like its counterpart, the Dark Heavenly Book, this volume was as massive as Chaos Mountain. It hovered in the center of the hall, which was illuminated as brightly as high noon.

Yang Xiaotian walked toward the artifact.

Standing before the massive tome, he prepared himself.

The Bright Heavenly Book was shut tight, its visible surface completely void of writing.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian immediately channeled the energy of the First of Eternity Heart.

As that power surged into the book, the Bright Heavenly Book began to vibrate violently, and a brilliant golden radiance erupted from the first page.

Complex runes and a unique handprint suddenly manifested on the previously empty surface.

Outside, Guo Yi was stunned to see the glow of the runes and the handprint appearing.

No one had ever managed to make the text appear before; he hadn't expected Yang Xiaotian to trigger the book the moment he stepped inside.

Flushed with excitement, Guo Yi grabbed his Message Talisman with trembling hands to report the news to the Mission Hall Ancestor, Luo Chong.

Luo Chong, who had just put his own talisman away, was confused to see another message from Guo Yi so soon. When he read the contents, he bolted upright, his face a mask of disbelief.

Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and Teng Si were startled by Luo Chong’s sudden movement and the shock written across his features.

Before they could ask what was wrong, Luo Chong cried out, “It’s open! Xiaotian did it! He actually activated the Bright Heavenly Book!”

“What?!” The others shouted in unison, leaping to their feet.

The Bright Heavenly Book had actually been awakened?

“Hurry! To the Bright Heavenly Palace!” Luo Chong barked, sprinting out of the room.

Xin Lei and the others followed at their maximum speed.

As one of the Ten Great Heavenly Books, the significance of its activation was not lost on them.

Although the World Academy possessed the book, it had been a dormant, useless object for ages. Now that it was active, it was no longer a mere artifact, but a true Heavenly Book!

In his haste, Luo Chong did not forget to notify Bai Yan via Message Talisman.

Bai Yan, who was still dwelling on the Master of Holy Realm’s visit, was surprised to receive urgent messages from several elders at once. After reading them, his shock turned into pure elation. “Xiaotian is truly a blessing for our World Academy!” he exclaimed.

He was more than just a blessing; he was a miracle.

Bai Yan immediately raced toward the Bright Heavenly Palace at full speed.

The news spread like wildfire. Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and various other Ancestors were equally stunned and began congregating at the palace.

When they arrived, they noticed the light coming from the building had changed.

Where there was once only pure white light, there were now shimmering threads of gold woven into the radiance.

This was the resonance of the runes and handprints within the book.

A group of excited Ancestors crowded into the main hall.

While an Elder like Guo Yi lacked the authority to enter, the Ancestors faced no such restrictions.

Inside, they found Yang Xiaotian standing motionless before the Bright Heavenly Book, lost in deep thought.

As Cheng Zhan prepared to step forward and greet him, Bai Yan stopped him with a firm hand on his shoulder. He shook his head, silently signaling for everyone to remain quiet and not disturb his disciple’s concentration.

By now, Yang Xiaotian was completely immersed in the secrets of the runes and the handprint. He was totally unaware that an entire day had already slipped by.
