Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2082: The Arrival of the 14-Tribulation Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pill
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Even with his prestigious status as the Junior Academy Head of the World Academy, Yang Xiaotian found himself unable to procure a massive quantity of six-billion-year Divine Medicines in a single transaction.
The current regulations restricted him to a maximum of three such Divine Medicines per exchange.
Furthermore, a three-hundred-year waiting period was mandatory before he could apply for another trade.
This particular restriction left Yang Xiaotian feeling quite frustrated.
Nevertheless, he could understand the logic behind the World Academy’s strict rules.
Divine Medicines of the six-billion-year grade were exceptionally scarce, necessitating careful management of their distribution.
For any other Core Disciple, a trio of six-billion-year Divine Medicines would typically be more than enough to last three centuries.
After finalizing his trade for the three six-billion-year Divine Medicines, Yang Xiaotian proceeded to exchange for two thousand Dao Holy Flames.
With these two thousand Dao Holy Flames, he possessed the means to advance his eighth Chaos Divine Fire into a Chaos Holy Fire.
Thanks to the continuous strengthening of his Xuanhuang Holy Vein over recent years, his Divine Soul Power had reached a level where he could manage eight Chaos Holy Fires simultaneously.
As for his remaining Contribution Points, Yang Xiaotian invested them into Heavenly Crystal Stones, which were essential for the development of his Grotto Heaven.
The cultivation of a Fifteen Level Grotto Heaven demands a staggering amount of Pocket World’s Energy, requiring a massive stockpile of Heavenly Crystal Stones.
With each Heavenly Crystal Stone priced at twenty Contribution Points, Yang Xiaotian opted to purchase one thousand of them.
Following this, Yang Xiaotian also acquired a vast array of medicinal ingredients required to concoct the Holy Emperor Pill.
Upon his return from the World Commerce, Yang Xiaotian employed his Chaos Holy Spirit Divine Fire to merge with the Dao Holy Flame. Without any complications, the Chaos Holy Spirit Divine Fire successfully transformed into a Chaos Holy Fire.
With the successful evolution of the flame, Yang Xiaotian immediately harnessed the power of the Eight Great Chaotic Holy Fires to begin refining the Holy Emperor Pill.
One after another, Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills began to manifest.
Elixirs of the Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade are incredibly rare; the entire World Continent might not see a single one produced in ten millennia.
Yet here was Yang Xiaotian, refining a multitude of these pills in a single day!
By the time he had exhausted his supply of raw materials, Yang Xiaotian had produced over ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills.
Master Ding stared at the collection of over ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills in utter disbelief.
Even having lived through the great upheavals of Heaven and Earth, the cauldron had never been this stunned.
It could hardly fathom the chaos that would erupt if these ten thousand plus Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills were revealed to the public.
Yang Xiaotian gazed at the translucent and flawless Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills, his heart racing with excitement.
This collection represented unimaginable wealth.
More importantly, these Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills likely possessed an incredible flavor.
Driven by curiosity, Yang Xiaotian popped a Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pill into his mouth. The pill dissolved instantly, coating his palate in a flavor beyond description. He had never suspected that an elixir could taste so divine.
He struggled to find the words to characterize the sensation.
Regardless, it was the most exquisite thing he had ever consumed.
“Master Ding, do you want to try one?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.
“Yes, please!” Master Ding answered without hesitation.
The cauldron was practically salivating at the sight of the Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills.
Yang Xiaotian immediately tossed one toward Master Ding.
Master Ding caught and swallowed it in one gulp through its cauldron mouth.
Following a shimmer of light, Master Ding let out a satisfied cry, “Now this is a real elixir! It is simply the most delicious thing in existence!”
Yang Xiaotian nodded, fully concurring with the sentiment.
He then pondered: if a Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pill tasted this good, wouldn’t a Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Emperor Pill be truly heavenly?
Considering the current growth of his Divine Soul Power, he would be able to command nine Chaos Holy Fires once he reached the Holy Emperor Realm, allowing him to craft Fifteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Elixirs.
Yang Xiaotian looked forward to that day with great anticipation.
Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian began his cultivation by consuming the six-billion-year Divine Medicine.
At the same time, his two Divine Avatars worked on absorbing the Pocket World’s Energy from the Heavenly Crystal Stones, utilizing the Xuanhuang Holy Vein to cultivate several Sacred Bodies.
After finishing the three six-billion-year Divine Medicines, he successfully advanced to the Saint Venerable Seventh Layer Realm as he had hoped.
However, upon reaching the Saint Venerable Seventh Layer, the effectiveness of the six-billion-year Divine Medicine began to wane significantly; he estimated he would need five such medicines to reach the Saint Venerable Eighth Layer.
To hit the Saint Venerable Tenth Layer, he would likely require thirty or forty of them.
By the time the three six-billion-year Divine Medicines were fully refined, he had also finished draining the Pocket World’s Energy from the thousand Heavenly Crystal Stones.
A thick aura of Pocket World’s Energy swirled around him.
With his current reserves of Pocket World’s Energy, he could potentially form a Grotto Heaven up to the Fifth Level.
Meanwhile, his various Sacred Bodies had progressed to the middle stage of the Thirty-Two Layer.
Progress slowed down once the Sacred Bodies reached the Thirty-Two Layer. Without the aid of Yang Xiaotian’s Xuanhuang Holy Vein, reaching the middle stage of the Thirty-Two Layer so quickly would have been impossible.
After weighing his options, Yang Xiaotian decided to post a commission at the World Commerce, offering Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills in exchange for six-billion-year Divine Medicines and Heavenly Crystal Stones.
He knew this move would cause a massive stir, but he was beyond caring about that now.
Without a steady supply of six-billion-year Divine Medicines and Heavenly Crystal Stones, reaching the Saint Venerable Tenth Layer would take thousands of years, to say nothing of forming a Fifteen Level Grotto Heaven.
With his mind made up, Yang Xiaotian made his way to the World Commerce.
When he arrived and informed the manager that he wanted to trade Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills for six-billion-year Divine Medicines and Heavenly Crystal Stones, the man thought he had misheard.
“Your Highness, are you truly saying you wish to trade Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills?” the manager asked, seeking clarification.
“That is correct, Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills!” Yang Xiaotian affirmed. “I am offering one hundred Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills for a single six-billion-year Divine Medicine!”
“And ten Fourteenth Tribulations Holy Emperor Pills for one Heavenly Crystal Stone!”
“Please post the task for me immediately.”
The manager gasped upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian was prepared to give a hundred Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills for one six-billion-year Divine Medicine, and ten for a single Heavenly Crystal Stone.
He was well aware that Yang Xiaotian was not the type to joke about such things.
Did this not imply that Yang Xiaotian had at least a hundred such pills currently in his possession?!
“Your Highness, exactly how many six-billion-year Divine Medicines and Heavenly Crystal Stones are you looking to get?” the manager asked, his voice shaking.
“As many as I can get. I will trade for every single one you have,” Yang Xiaotian declared. “Do not concern yourself with my supply of Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills.”
The manager’s shock only intensified.
This meant Yang Xiaotian possessed such a staggering surplus of Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills that he didn't even have to worry about running out!
“I will inform my superiors of this, and once I have their approval, I will post the task for Your Highness,” the manager answered, his hands trembling.
Yang Xiaotian gave a nod. “Let me know the moment someone comes to trade,” he said before making a graceful exit.
As soon as Yang Xiaotian was gone, the manager sent word of the task to the leadership of the World Commerce, sending them all into a state of collective shock.
In very little time, the World Commerce officially posted Yang Xiaotian’s request.
“What? Xiaotian is offering a hundred Fourteenth Tribulations Heavenly Grade Holy Emperor Pills for one six-billion-year Divine Medicine!” The Ancestors of the World Academy were utterly dumbfounded by the news.
Shortly after, Teng Si, the Old Ancestor of the Medicine Hall, sprinted out of the Main Hall and raced toward Yang Xiaotian’s Cave Mansion like a madman.
