Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2101: Ancestor Dragon Realm Master
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Upon reaching the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin space via the Ancestor Dragon Tree's roots, Yang Xiaotian found it impossible to restrain the surge of excitement in his chest.
As soon as he finishes refining the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin, he will ascend as the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master. Within this domain, he will be unrivaled, no longer needing to fear the First Demon or the Mad Demon!
Even if a dozen versions of the First Demon and Mad Demon were to challenge him simultaneously, he would possess the power to suppress them all.
Steadying his racing heart, Yang Xiaotian composed his mind and utilized the Ancestor Dragon Tree's roots to begin his comprehension of the Origin.
The process of refining the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin requires one to first master the laws, the Dao, and every ounce of power woven into its foundation.
Because the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin holds the ultimate laws, the paramount Dao, and the peak powers of the Holy Realm Dragon Clan, the task of comprehension is incredibly daunting.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian is endowed with the Primordial Dragon Holy Body and has already attained the Thirty-Four Layer of Cultivation. With the Ancestor Dragon Tree assisting him, the difficulty of grasping the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin is significantly reduced.
In a single day, Yang Xiaotian can achieve insights that would take others centuries to grasp.
Yet, even with the advantage of the Primordial Dragon Holy Body and the Primordial Dragon Art, a full decade of nonstop meditation passed without Yang Xiaotian fully deciphering the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin.
During this same period, Lei Gang, the Son of the Holy Realm, was employing the Ancient Heavenly Court to study the Origin of the Bright Heavenly Realm.
Utilizing the vast influence of the Holy Realm Academy over the years, he had not only located the Ancient Heavenly Court but had successfully refined it for his own use.
While discovering the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin is an impossible feat for most, the Ancient Heavenly Court makes it achievable.
Because the Ancient Heavenly Court originated from the Bright Heavenly Origin itself, the Son of the Holy Realm could track the Origin once he had refined the court.
However, despite his possession of the Ancient Heavenly Court and his Bright Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Body, the Son of the Holy Realm’s speed in comprehending the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin was nowhere near Yang Xiaotian’s pace.
"Yang Xiaotian! Once I have refined the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin and ascended as the Bright Heavenly Realm Master, I will ensure you suffer a fate far worse than death!" the Son of the Holy Realm plotted with bitter hatred.
Previously, when the First Demon led the Primordial Demon World’s forces to strike the Ancestral Dragon Realm, Yang Xiaotian’s deployment of the Primordial Dragon Order had revealed his true strength. Both the Son of the Holy Realm and the Holy Realm Academy were now aware that Yang Xiaotian had successfully broken through to the Holy Emperor Realm.
They were also aware that he had managed to cultivate a Fifteen Level Grotto Heaven!
But even with the knowledge of Yang Xiaotian’s breakthrough to the Holy Emperor Realm, the Son of the Holy Realm remained unconcerned.
He believed that with the Ancient Heavenly Court in his hands, Yang Xiaotian’s realm would be irrelevant once the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin was fully refined.
Time flowed quickly, and thirty years soon vanished.
Yang Xiaotian remained within the Long Yi space, still focused on comprehending the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin.
Outside, the Destroying Heaven Demon and the others were beginning to feel a sense of unease.
Just as their anxiety reached its peak, a brilliant radiance suddenly flooded the hall. A figure stepped out from the emptiness of the void—it was Yang Xiaotian.
"Holy Master!" The group rushed forward, their faces lit with joy.
"Have you successfully merged with Lord Long Yi’s dragon body?" the Dragon Corpse Beast asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
Yang Xiaotian gave them a smile and a firm nod: "The fusion was a success!"
During this period of secluded Cultivation, he had not only merged with the Long Yi Dragon Body but had also fully refined the Ancestor Dragon Tree and the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin!
He had finally become the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master!
At that moment, the Evil Dragon Venerable approached tentatively and asked, "Young Master, am I permitted to leave now?"
The Destroying Heaven Demon and the others had refused to release the Evil Dragon Venerable without a direct order from Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the Evil Dragon Venerable, his gaze much friendlier than before.
In truth, without the Evil Dragon Venerable, he likely never would have discovered the Long Yi Dragon Body or the Ancestor Dragon Tree, let alone become the master of the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin.
"You are free to go," Yang Xiaotian declared. He then added, "If you ever find yourself in need in the future, seek me out. I will grant you one favor."
"My name is Yang Xiaotian."
The Evil Dragon Venerable had spent tens of thousands of years in isolation on his island in the Dragon Source Sea. Immersed in his own Cultivation, he was completely ignorant of current events and had never heard the name Yang Xiaotian.
If he had known who stood before him, he would have understood the incredible weight of those words.
Even so, the Evil Dragon Venerable expressed his sincere gratitude. "I thank the Young Master," he said, before bowing respectfully to the Abyss of Darkness, the Dragon Corpse Beast, and the others. He then vanished into the void.
With the Evil Dragon Venerable gone, Yang Xiaotian also prepared to depart from the Dragon Source Sea.
During the years spent refining the Origin and consuming Ancestor Dragon Fruits, his two Divine Avatars had successfully raised all of his Sacred Bodies to the Thirty-Four Layer.
However, his Dao Tree had yet to fully manifest.
Despite his constant efforts to comprehend the Kaitian Level Dao, he had only mastered tens of thousands of them. He was still a long way from his ultimate goal of one million.
Thus, his next priority was to focus entirely on the Kaitian Level Dao.
Yang Xiaotian immediately commanded his followers to search for Dao Foundation Stones, promising a bounty of ten Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Ancestor Pills for every stone recovered.
The news of such a massive reward—ten Fourteenth Tribulation Heavenly Grade Ancestor Pills per stone—spread like wildfire, sending the Ancestral Dragon Realm into a frenzy.
Yet, despite the widespread search, no one was able to locate a single Dao Foundation Stone for a long time.
Left with no other choice, Yang Xiaotian continued his Cultivation while using the power of the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin to scan the realm for any hidden Dao Foundation Stones.
Since the reach of his Divine Soul Power was limited, he had to conduct his search kingdom by kingdom.
The method proved effective; over the following decades, Yang Xiaotian managed to locate dozens of Dao Foundation Stones.
These stones were hidden in incredibly obscure locations. Had it not been for the sensing power of the Ancestral Dragon Realm Origin, they likely would have remained lost forever.
While Yang Xiaotian was preoccupied with the Kaitian Level Dao, the Abyss of Darkness and the Dragon Corpse Beast arrived to inform him that the Holy Realm Genius Battle was about to commence. They asked if he intended to enter.
The Holy Realm Genius Battle is a prestigious tournament for those under ten thousand bone ages in the Holy Realm.
Had he not already become the Ancestor Dragon Realm Master, Yang Xiaotian might have found the competition appealing. Now, however, he had lost all interest in such a title.
He was, however, very interested in the upcoming Holy Realm Overlord Battle.
That event was only a few thousand years away.
If he could reach the Unity Realm Stage within that timeframe, he would be fully prepared to compete for the title of Overlord.
The Holy Realm Genius Battle lasted a full year. Once it concluded, the Abyss of Darkness and the others returned to brief Yang Xiaotian on the results.
"The Son of the Holy Realm didn't participate either?" Yang Xiaotian asked, surprised by the news.
"Indeed, the Son of the Holy Realm hasn't been seen for quite some time," the Destroying Heaven Demon noted thoughtfully. "The official word from the Holy Realm Academy is that he remains in deep, closed-door Cultivation."
