Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2126: 2126: Bright Heavenly River

Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
News of the Bright Heavenly Ginseng has drawn powerful factions to the Bright Heavenly Realm, as the medicine may lead to the elusive Bright Heavenly Origin. Yang Xiaotian sets out with a fleet of Giant Demons to secure the ginseng and search for the Sun Divine Tree, while also hunting for the First Demon and Blood Ancestor. To gain the upper hand, he offers a massive reward of ten thousand Fourteenth Tribulation pills for information, openly defying the Holy Realm Academy's claim to the treasure. This bold move sets the stage for a violent confrontation as multiple academies and ancient clans converge on the realm.

Months later, the Dragon Night Spaceship reached the Bright Heavenly Realm without incident.

Despite the time passed, Yang Xiaotian had yet to receive any favorable reports from his associates regarding the Bright Heavenly Ginseng.

Because the Bright Heavenly Ginseng is a product of the Bright Heavenly Origin, it possesses the ability to blend into the fabric of the Bright Heavenly Realm as it travels, making its trail nearly impossible to follow.

It is exceedingly difficult to force the ginseng to show itself without the aid of a unique treasure capable of attracting it.

Consequently, although it was common knowledge that the Bright Heavenly Ginseng resided within the Bright River, several months of searching by various parties had yielded no results.

The moment he crossed into the Bright Heavenly Realm, Yang Xiaotian could feel the intense Power of Bright vibrating through the air.

This overwhelming Power of Bright resonated deeply with the Bright power inside his own body, evoking a nostalgic sense of connection.

His Dharma Image, the Bright Sky Emperor, was particularly affected, becoming restless.

This internal stir sent ripples through the very depths of Yang Xiaotian’s soul.

He could emphasize with the trembling of the Bright Sky Emperor.

It was the same sensation he felt years ago when he returned to the Yang Family after a long absence.

“Ancient Heavenly Court,” Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.

During the ancient era, the Bright Sky Emperor reigned as the premier sovereign of the Bright Heavenly Realm. He was the supreme ruler of the Ancient Heavenly Court and the leader of the vast Bright Saint Clan.

Eventually, however, the Bright Sky Emperor met his end.

The location of the Ancient Heavenly Court, a treasure of unparalleled value, remained a mystery.

Following his fall, the Bright Saint Clan fractured and dispersed.

After arriving in the realm, Yang Xiaotian steered the vessel, leading his companions toward the Bright River.

Observing the strikingly blue Vault Of Heaven of the Bright Heavenly Realm, a thought occurred to Yang Xiaotian: if he successfully located both the Bright Heavenly Ginseng and the Bright Heavenly Origin, would he be capable of refining and absorbing the latter?

Possessing the Dharma Image Bright Sky Emperor and the Sixteen Wings of Bright was one thing, but whether he could actually assimilate the Bright Heavenly Origin remained an open question.

He had already succeeded in refining the origins of both the True Dragon World and the Primordial Demon World.

To hold the origins of two separate realms was already a miraculous feat that defied the natural order of the world.

He lacked any certainty regarding whether he could handle a third origin—the Bright Heavenly Origin.

When Yang Xiaotian consulted Master Ding, the elder simply shook his head in uncertainty; no record existed of anyone ever managing to refine the origins of three different Realms.

Furthermore, the Bright Heavenly Realm, the Ancestor Dragon Realm, and the Primordial Demon World were among the most dominant of the Ten Realms within the Eternal Realm.

Whether Yang Xiaotian’s physical form could endure the sheer pressure of the Bright Heavenly Realm Origin Power was something Master Ding could not predict.

The Bright Heavenly River serves as the lifeblood of the Bright Heavenly Realm!

In all the Eternal Realm, it is considered the most wondrous body of water.

The entire river is suspended high within the firmament.

From a distance, the Bright Heavenly River looks like a colossal mirror of radiance stretched across the sky, flowing perpetually and casting a timeless light over the land.

Legend says that even if the world were plunged into total darkness, the Bright Heavenly River would continue to shine as brightly as ever.

By the time Yang Xiaotian’s group reached the river, night had fallen, yet the water continued to emit its own brilliant glow.

The Bright Heavenly River is vast, stretching beyond the horizon without a visible end.

Many people were gathered along the riverbanks, hesitant to go further.

The river’s power is so untainted that those who practice dark cultivation methods or evil techniques find the environment unbearable; entering the water causes them agonizing pain.

Because of this, many cultivators were restricted to watching from the shore.

Naturally, figures like the Rain Demon and his peers—being titans of the Eternal Realm—were not bothered by the river's purity.

Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian engaged the Dragon Night Spaceship’s defensive arrays before they ventured onto the water.

The experience of being on the river itself was vastly different from observing it from the shore.

The water rippled with a shimmering light that was breathtakingly beautiful.

Yang Xiaotian began utilizing the strength of the Dharma Image Bright Sky Emperor to search for the Bright Heavenly Ginseng.

Since the ginseng is woven into the space of the realm, standard Bright power is useless for detection, but the specific authority of the Bright Sky Emperor could pinpoint it.

However, even with that power, he needed to be within a few miles of the ginseng to catch its scent.

Consequently, Yang Xiaotian progressed at a slow pace, ensuring he could meticulously scan every segment of the river.

Ten days passed in this manner.

In that time, they had covered less than one percent of the river's total area.

After some consideration, Yang Xiaotian decided to manifest the Ancestor Dragon Tree to see if its presence would entice the Bright Heavenly Ginseng to appear. Otherwise, the search could drag on for years.

With a thought, Yang Xiaotian called forth the Ancestor Dragon Tree.

The tree hovered above him, radiating the light of the Long Clan over the river. Coils of Dragon Qi swirled around it, manifesting the image of a Dragon Kingdom.

The immense Dragon Power and radiance of the tree caught the attention of many powerful cultivators currently on the river.

Thinking a rare treasure had surfaced, many experts began racing toward their location.

“What incredible Dragon Qi! What kind of Long Clan Divine Tree is that?!” Some cultivators exclaimed upon arrival, their eyes filled with greed.

Since they had never seen the Ancestor Dragon Tree before, they failed to recognize its true identity immediately.

Just as some prepared to seize the tree by force, one observer noticed a figure standing near Yang Xiaotian and gasped in terror, “The Bloodthirsty Evil Demon!”

The Bloodthirsty Evil Demon was a renowned forefather of a demon sect in the Primordial Demon World, holding a rank on the Eternal Realm List just below the Rain Demon.

The mere mention of his name caused the aggressive cultivators to freeze in their tracks, their faces turning white with fear.

“The Rain Demon is here too!” another voice cried out, trembling.

The surrounding crowd was struck with terror once more.

Their attention shifted to the youth in the blue shirt standing ahead of both the Rain Demon and the Bloodthirsty Evil Demon. They wondered who could possibly command such legendary demons.

“It is the Ancestor Dragon Primordial Demon, Your Majesty!” several voices shouted in realization.

Since Yang Xiaotian held the status of Realm Lord for both the Ancestor Dragon Realm and the Primordial Demon World, many had begun to refer to him by this combined title.

“Clear the area,” Yang Xiaotian commanded, feeling a bit awkward at the grand title.

“As you wish, Your Majesty!” The cultivators bowed with deep respect and fled as quickly as they could, vanishing from sight.

Once the area was clear, Yang Xiaotian moved forward, pushing the Ancestor Dragon Tree’s influence deep into the spatial layers of the Bright River.

While Yang Xiaotian attempted to bait the Bright Heavenly Ginseng, word of his presence at the river traveled fast. In the Holy Realm Academy, the atmosphere grew tense as the news arrived.

“Yang Xiaotian is likely using the Ancestor Dragon Tree to draw out the Bright Heavenly Ginseng,” Chen Mo, an ancestor of the Holy Realm Academy, stated grimly.

“He may have the Ancestor Dragon Tree, but we possess the Holy Realm Lotus. We will surely find the Bright Heavenly Ginseng before he does!” Wu Chong declared confidently.

To ensure their success, the Holy Realm Academy had brought their own supreme treasure, the Holy Realm Lotus, specifically for this hunt.
