Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2071: 2071: Son of the Holy Realm's Holy Land Breaks Through Level 14
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
After sensing the immense power coursing through his various Sacred Bodies, Yang Xiaotian paused to reflect before retrieving the seed of the Tree of Eternal Life.
Given that his Ultimate Life Holy Body had already ascended to the Thirty-Two Layer, he wondered if he now possessed the strength to revitalize this ancient seed.
With great precision, he began channeling the potent energy of the Ultimate Life Holy Body directly into the seed of the Tree of Eternal Life.
As the energy of the Thirty-Two Layer Ultimate Life Holy Body flooded into it, the seed of the Tree of Eternal Life started radiating vibrant halos of emerald light!
Moments later, a small, pale green leaf pushed its way out of the seed—a difficult birth, yet one marked by absolute determination.
The tiny leaf was remarkably delicate, yet it pulsed with an incredibly exuberant vitality!
Witnessing this growth, Yang Xiaotian was consumed by a wave of joy, his eyes nearly welling up with tears of relief.
The seed of the Tree of Eternal Life had finally been brought back to life!
This particular seed held monumental importance for him, as it was the key to his future attempts to break through to the Creator Realm.
Regardless of how mighty a cultivator might be, their lifespan always had a ceiling; however, by consistently consuming the fruits of eternal life, one’s longevity could be stretched indefinitely.
With an endless lifespan at his disposal, reaching the Creator Realm would simply be a matter of time.
Yet, when Yang Xiaotian attempted to pour more of the Ultimate Life Holy Body’s power into the seed, he felt a sudden resistance as the seed repelled his energy.
Yang Xiaotian stood there, momentarily stunned.
“The seed of the Tree of Eternal Life is currently in its seedling phase and cannot handle an excessive amount of Ultimate Life Holy Body power in a single day. Pushing it further will cause a backfire,” Master Ding explained. “Think of it like an ordinary seed; if you drench it with too much water, you will kill it instead of helping it grow!”
Yang Xiaotian nodded in understanding.
He realized that this process was not something that could be forced or rushed.
Accepting this, he decided to wait until the following day before attempting to nourish the Eternal Life Seed with his Ultimate Life Holy Body again.
Shortly after, Yang Xiaotian exited his cave mansion and made his way toward the Hongmeng Mansion.
When he arrived, he found the Blood Demon Old Monster, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and several others waiting for him.
Without delay, Yang Xiaotian utilized his Thirty-Two Layer Ultimate Life Holy Body to treat the injuries of the Blood Demon Old Monster, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and the rest of the group.
Under the influence of Yang Xiaotian’s Thirty-Two Layer Ultimate Life Holy Body, both the Blood Demon Old Monster and the Dragon Corpse Beast could feel the stubborn, ancient wounds within their bodies finally dissolving away.
Once those lingering injuries had completely vanished, both were struck by a sense of pleasant surprise and intense excitement.
“Our deepest thanks, Holy Master!” Both the Blood Demon Old Monster and the Dragon Corpse Beast bowed low to show their appreciation.
Yang Xiaotian dismissed their formality with a smile and a wave of his hand. “Seniors, there is no need for such politeness. How do you feel now?”
The Blood Demon Old Monster let out a hearty laugh. “I feel full of life! I haven’t felt this refreshed in ages—not even during our clash with the Bright Heavenly Emperor all those years ago!”
The room filled with the sound of laughter.
However, the mention of the Bright Heavenly Emperor caused a stir in Yang Xiaotian’s heart.
After all, one of the Dharma likenesses he had formed was that of the Bright Heavenly Emperor.
The Abyss of Darkness, Destroying Heaven Demon, Nether Fish, Golden Armored Qilin, and others also suffered from various lingering ailments; Yang Xiaotian proceeded to use the power of the Thirty-Two Layer Ultimate Life Holy Body to heal every one of them.
Each person felt a level of invigoration they had never experienced before.
Once everyone’s old wounds were mended, Yang Xiaotian turned the conversation toward the current status of the Holy Realm Academy and the Son of the Holy Realm.
“Following his loss to the Holy Master, the Son of the Holy Realm retreated to the Holy Realm Academy. It is said he entered the Holy Pond there, Cultivating day and night with the Five Elements Sacred Soil,” the Destroying Heaven Demon reported, his expression turning grim. “Word has it that the Son of the Holy Realm’s sacred ground has recently broken through to Level 14!”
The Dragon Corpse Beast, Nether Fish, and the others all took on solemn expressions upon hearing this.
Previously, when the Son of the Holy Realm possessed a Level 13 sacred ground, it was impressive but not necessarily terrifying. However, a breakthrough to Level 14 changed everything.
A Level 14 sacred ground is capable of generating top-grade Holy Spirit Aura.
In the annals of history, only the Master of Holy Realm and Long Yi had ever managed to cultivate a Level 14 sacred ground.
Furthermore, once the Son of the Holy Realm can produce top-grade Holy Spirit Aura, he can distribute it to the disciples of the Holy Realm Academy. In a short time, the collective strength of the academy will undoubtedly reach a terrifying new height.
“So, he actually reached Level 14.” Yang Xiaotian was visibly surprised.
“Holy Master, if you cross paths with the Son of the Holy Realm again, you must exercise extreme caution,” the Blood Demon Old Monster cautioned.
With a Level 14 sacred ground, the Son of the Holy Realm’s power would do much more than just double.
If Yang Xiaotian were to fight him again, he certainly wouldn’t be able to secure a victory as easily as he had before.
“Additionally, after reaching the Level 14 sacred ground, the Son of the Holy Realm has also made a breakthrough into the Saint Venerable Realm,” the Destroying Heaven Demon noted.
Between the Level 14 sacred ground and the Saint Venerable Realm breakthrough, the Son of the Holy Realm was effectively a completely different opponent than before!
“Has he managed to cultivate the Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body?” Yang Xiaotian inquired, as this was his primary concern.
“There has been no word on that,” the Destroying Heaven Demon replied with a shake of his head.
The Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body is notoriously difficult to achieve. Even for someone like the Son of the Holy Realm, it wasn't something that could be mastered quickly.
Of course, there was always the chance he had already succeeded and was simply keeping it hidden from the world.
“It appears I must put even more effort into increasing my own strength,” Yang Xiaotian mused to himself.
Even though he had reached the Holy Emperor Fifth Layer Realm, he feared that a rematch with the Son of the Holy Realm would be a far more difficult struggle than their previous encounter.
After all, the power of a Level 14 sacred ground was truly formidable.
“Is there any news regarding my masters, the Primordial Universe Taoist and the Origin Daoist?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
The Destroying Heaven Demon, Blood Demon Old Monster, Yin Yang Ghost Master, and the others all shook their heads in disappointment.
The hundred billion-strong forces of Netherworld City had been spread across the World Continent for years searching for the Primordial Universe Taoist and the Origin Daoist, yet they had found nothing.
Even the vanished Bi Xin Sword Venerate remained missing without a single lead.
“Continue the search,” Yang Xiaotian commanded.
Finding the Primordial Universe Taoist and the Origin Daoist remained one of his highest priorities.
The group nodded in agreement.
Yang Xiaotian then instructed them to launch a full-scale search for Ms. Meng, the Black Master, and their associates.
At the same time, he was informed by the Abyss of Darkness and the Dragon Corpse Beast that after the First Demon’s retreat during the Master Acceptance Ceremony, the Mad Demon and Evil Head had also led their forces into hiding and had not been seen since.
The next day, Yang Xiaotian went back to the World Academy to begin his study of the Bright Heavenly Book.
He needed to master the Bright Heavenly Book to earn Contribution Points. These points would allow him to buy All Things Star Water and Five Elements Sacred Soil, which were essential for cultivating his All Things Holy Body and mastering the elemental powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Having previously mastered up to the tenth page, he now moved on to the eleventh.
As the days passed, Yang Xiaotian worked his way through to the fiftieth page, only stopping when he hit a wall due to his current cultivation level.
Following this, Yang Xiaotian recorded every rune and handprint from the first fifty pages of the Bright Heavenly Book and turned them over to the World Academy.
After the academy’s high-ranking Elders completed their review, Yang Xiaotian was granted five thousand Contribution Points and five advanced Bright Holy Pills.
With his five thousand Contribution Points in hand, Yang Xiaotian visited the World Commerce to buy All Things Star Water and Five Elements Sacred Soil. He used his remaining two thousand points to secure a supply of Xuanhuang Holy Water.
