Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2079: Accepting the Junior Academy Head Assessment

Guided by Yang Xiaotian’s Dao Heart Power, the Holy Land expanded continuously, stretching into the territories of one empire after another.

Because Yang Xiaotian’s Holy Land had fused perfectly with the surrounding space, its growth did not disturb the local populations.

Previously, his fourteenth-level Holy Land spanned the size of roughly a dozen empire spaces. Now, it had already consumed over twenty and was still surging outward, quickly reaching the breadth of thirty empires!

Yet, the Holy Land did not stop there!

Its rate of expansion showed no signs of slowing down.

Thirty-one, thirty-two...

Forty!

Forty-one, forty-two...

Fifty!

Even Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of astonishment. He had estimated that a fifteenth-level Holy Land would encompass thirty empire spaces at most. To his surprise, it blew past fifty and continued to push further!

When his elemental powers of Earth, Wood, Water, Fire, and Metal fully integrated into the foundation, the Holy Land erupted with a brilliant radiance and underwent a final, massive expansion.

Incredibly, it reached a scale equivalent to one thousand two hundred and ninety-six empires!

This was nearly a hundred times larger than a fourteenth-level Holy Land!

From the core of this vast Holy Land, waves of Xuanhuang Qi began to gush out.

The potent Xuanhuang Qi surged over Yang Xiaotian, instantly submerging him in a vast sea of the precious gas.

Yang Xiaotian felt a wave of pure comfort as he inhaled deep breaths of this Xuanhuang Qi.

It felt as though every pore on his skin was on the verge of bursting with vitality.

His internal organs, his divine soul, and every fiber of his being were relishing this bath of Xuanhuang Qi.

Xuanhuang Qi was a legendary rarity, yet he was using it for nothing more than a bath.

He had never experienced such a level of extravagance before.

Master Ding even manifested, floating in the sea of Xuanhuang Qi while shouting joyfully, "It has been far too long since I last bathed in Xuanhuang Qi. This feeling is absolutely magnificent!"

Under the purification of the Xuanhuang Qi, every ancient rune on the cauldron’s surface began to glow with intense light.

Yang Xiaotian was stunned. Did Master Ding’s words imply that it had been treated to such a luxury in the past?

"If your Xuanhuang Qi can be condensed into a Xuanhuang Holy Vein, I might actually have a chance to regain the power of the Six Strike of Epoch!" Master Ding roared.

Currently, its power was at the level of the Five Strike of Epoch. Ordinary Xuanhuang Holy Water or Qi was no longer sufficient to restore its strength; only a Xuanhuang Holy Vein would suffice!

Now that Yang Xiaotian’s Holy Land had reached the fifteenth level, he would have a limitless supply of Xuanhuang Holy Veins in the future!

Yang Xiaotian immediately sat cross-legged at the Holy Land's center. Using his Dao Heart, he manipulated the Xuanhuang Qi, forcing it to condense into solid veins.

Several days passed before the first Xuanhuang Holy Vein was successfully formed.

The breakthrough of his Holy Land to the fifteenth level had produced enough Xuanhuang Holy Energy to create a hundred such veins.

Knowing it would take ten Xuanhuang Holy Veins to elevate Master Ding to the Six Strike of Epoch level, Yang Xiaotian continued the process. He stopped only after he had finished ten of them.

He then handed these ten Xuanhuang Holy Veins over to Master Ding.

These resources would likely sustain Master Ding for several decades.

Once the transfer was complete, Yang Xiaotian emerged from his cave mansion. He officially submitted his application to the ancestors of the World Academy to undergo the examination for the position of Junior Academy Head.

On the day following his application, all the hall ancestors of the World Academy assembled at the Main Hall square.

Naturally, Academy Head Bai Yan was present as well.

Looking at Yang Xiaotian standing in the middle of the square, Bai Yan’s eyes brimmed with pride and satisfaction for his star pupil.

Throughout the years, he had often felt grateful—grateful that he had waited, and grateful that he had been the one to take Yang Xiaotian as his disciple.

He had originally predicted it would take Yang Xiaotian at least a millennium to qualify for the Junior Academy Head exam, but the young man’s growth had been swifter and more shocking than anyone could have guessed.

The news of Yang Xiaotian’s examination spread like wildfire through the World Academy, drawing a massive crowd of disciples, Elders, and Supreme Elders to the square.

Everyone wanted to be a witness to this historic event.

Feng Zhong of the Phoenix Clan stood among the spectators, his gaze fixed on Yang Xiaotian just as intently as the others.

Even though it was common knowledge that Yang Xiaotian’s Dao Heart, Sacred Body, and Holy Land met the requirements, Bai Yan and the ancestors still required him to display them publicly.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yang Xiaotian first unleashed the power of his Dao Heart, followed by the aura of his Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Sacred Body.

Finally, he revealed the Holy Land.

When the Holy Land manifested, Xin Lei, Xiao Zheng, and all the ancestors were struck by a wave of pure disbelief.

They had assumed Yang Xiaotian was still at the fourteenth level.

But what they saw before them was something else entirely.

"Xuanhuang Qi! That is Xuanhuang Qi!" Xiao Zheng yelled, his voice cracking with excitement.

The ancestors were overcome with visible agitation.

Even Bai Yan, the Academy Head, was not immune!

His disciple’s Holy Land was actually producing Xuanhuang Qi? Did that mean...?

"A fifteenth-level Holy Land! Xiaotian has actually achieved a fifteenth-level Holy Land!" Teng Si’s voice was trembling.

A fifteenth-level Holy Land!

The entire World Academy instantly fell into a state of chaotic uproar.

Feng Zhong and the rest of the disciples stood frozen, staring at Yang Xiaotian in shock.

What kind of freak of nature could actually cultivate a fifteenth-level Holy Land?

Ignoring the commotion and disbelief, Yang Xiaotian allowed his Holy Land to stretch toward the horizon, blanketing empire after empire.

This time, he made no effort to hide its scale. Experts across every empire on the World Continent looked up to see the seemingly infinite Holy Land.

The world watched in awe.

Yang Xiaotian stood at the center, the combined radiance of his Dao Heart, Sacred Body, and Holy Land weaving together into a magnificent display.

It took a long time for Bai Yan, Xin Lei, and the ancestors to find their voices again.

Finally, Bai Yan broke into a boisterous, happy laugh. "My disciple is truly peerless! Even his Holy Land has reached the fifteenth level!"

He then proclaimed to the assembly that Yang Xiaotian had successfully passed this portion of the trial.

With his contribution points, Dao Heart, Sacred Body, and Holy Land verified, the next phase would be the individual hall examinations.

The first test was for the Medicine Hall.

The Medicine Hall was arguably the most vital department, as medicinal pills were the lifeblood of Cultivation.

Since Yang Xiaotian was in the Holy Emperor Realm, Ancestor Teng Si instructed him to refine a Holy Emperor Pill. He gave Yang Xiaotian total freedom, stating that as long as the pill's quality satisfied him and the hall's experts, he would pass.

The World Academy provided all the necessary medicinal ingredients, ensuring they were of the highest caliber.

Yang Xiaotian glanced at the premium herbs on the ground and proceeded to summon his Chaotic Holy Fire.

When the Seven Great Chaotic Holy Fires appeared, Teng Si and the Academy experts gasped in unison.

"The Seven Great Chaotic Holy Fires!"

Suddenly, memories of the Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills Yang Xiaotian possessed flashed through their minds!

Before, no one could fathom how he had obtained so many of those legendary pills. But seeing the Seven Great Chaotic Holy Fires in his possession, the truth finally dawned on everyone.
