Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Sword God Xi Long
“I was also shocked when Senior Brother Zeng told me,” Chen Jing said with a face full of reverence, “Lord Azure Bear suspects that the Undying Death God was injured inside the Eternal Heavenly Tomb!”
“Inside the Eternal Heavenly Tomb!” Li Bi shuddered, “Could it be that the ancient ancestor from the Netherworld Demon Sect inside the Eternal Heavenly Coffin was the one who made the move?”
Chen Jing shook his head, “I don’t know, but at that time, the strongest ancient ancestor of the Fan Family, Fan Ming, and Deng Feng from the Yin Wind Sect, among others, were all inside the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. Lord Azure Bear asked both Fan Ming and Deng Feng, but whether it was Fan Ming or Deng Feng, they both shook their heads saying they didn’t know.”
“However,” continued Chen Jing, “Senior Brother Zeng said that from the look of Fan Ming, Deng Feng, and the others, they seemed to know something, they just refused to tell.”
Li Bi was filled with shock and suspicion.
Even when faced with questions from Lord Azure Bear, Fan Ming and Deng Feng refused to speak, indicating their fear of that peerless powerhouse.
“However, it’s good news for us that the Undying Death God was first wounded by Lord Azure Bear and then severely injured by that peerless figure in the Eternal Heavenly Tomb. At least for the next few years, the Undying Death God won’t dare to run amok,” said Chen Jing with relief. “Lord Azure Bear said that it would take at least ten years for the Undying Death God to recover from his injuries.”
As the two were discussing the Undying Death God, Yang Xiaotian, who had concocted a top-tier Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, returned to his own mountain peak.
It was getting late.
Realizing that nearly a day had passed, Yang Xiaotian hurried to check on the Life God Tree.
After devouring a pile of waste from divine medicines, the Life God Tree appeared even more lush and dripping with verdancy. Green life essence surged powerfully, and on its branches, a tender, fresh fruit had appeared.
The fruit was green, enticingly so, as if one could squeeze divine water from it. It emitted a soft divine light and a fragrance that permeated the air. A single whiff made one feel as if their very soul might drift away.
This was the Life God Fruit.
A Life God Fruit that had just come into existence.
It even smelled better than the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fruit.
Looking at the newly grown Life God Fruit, Yang Xiaotian swallowed.
He suppressed his overwhelming joy, plucked the Life God Fruit from the tree, and immediately sat cross-legged inside the palace, unable to wait any longer to consume the Life God Fruit.
Suddenly, an overwhelming divine power of life exploded within Yang Xiaotian’s body.
His internal organs trembled chaotically.
Luckily, Yang Xiaotian possessed the Dragon Emperor’s Body, which made his internal organs incredibly resilient. Otherwise, that burst of life essence would have been enough to blast his organs into mush.
The divine power of life was so overwhelming that Yang Xiaotian frantically circulated the Primordial Dragon Art.
Around his body, strands of True Essence Dragons began to coalesce.
The Martial Souls of Black Tortoise and Black Dragon, two Supreme Kings, coiled above Yang Xiaotian’s head, also continuously devouring the divine power of life, transforming it into the purest True Yuan and vital energy for Yang Xiaotian.
The twin million-year Soul Rings also flickered incessantly.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaotian had activated the restrictions of his mountain peak, so the auras of the two Supreme King Martial Souls and the twin million-year Soul Rings did not alert the academy disciples.
Even so, the Inner Sect Disciples who were relatively close to Yang Xiaotian’s mountain peak felt an unsettling sensation, as though they were being watched by two terrifyingly supreme beings.
This situation caught the attention of the academy Elders.
However, no matter how they searched, they could not figure out the reason.
As Yang Xiaotian devoured the life essence from the Life God Fruit, his cultivation level and vital energy began to surge wildly.
Especially his vital energy, which increased dramatically.
Soon, it reached eleven thousand li.
And it was still rising.
His cultivation level was also continuously improving.
In just a few days, he broke through to the early peak of the first level of the Martial Venerable realm, then to the mid-stage!
Mid-stage peak!
Late stage!
Unbeknownst to him, twenty days had passed.
“`
The Life God Fruit had finally been completely refined by Yang Xiaotian.
As Master Ding predicted, Yang Xiaotian’s vital energy had risen to over thirteen thousand miles.
Although the Life God Fruit mainly increased vital energy, Yang Xiaotian’s strength had also broken through to the second layer of the Martial Venerable realm.
Breaking through the Martial Venerable realm meant that Yang Xiaotian’s cultivation had increased much slower compared to when he was a Martial Emperor. If he had cultivated with a top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, it would have taken over three months to break through to the second layer of Martial Venerable.
However, now Yang Xiaotian had only used twenty days to achieve the breakthrough to the second layer of Martial Venerable.
Seeing that there were still two days left before the new disciple trial, Yang Xiaotian left the academy and arrived at the Divine Residence.
At that moment, a hundred Saint Realm experts from the Annihilating Heaven Demon Sect had just rushed over from Zhongzhou, led by the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, who hurried to meet Yang Xiaotian.
These experts from the Annihilating Heaven Demon Sect, all rebellious and untamed, clearly had been disciplined by the Demon Ape, Old Bing, and Old Meng. When they saw Yang Xiaotian, they were utterly respectful and dared not even breathe heavily.
Yang Xiaotian checked the condition of these Saint Realm experts and was very satisfied, then he instructed the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor to send them out to gather information.
As for the lodging issues of these Annihilating Heaven Demon Sect experts, Yang Xiaotian was not worried. The Divine Residence had three hundred and sixty-five palaces, which would be more than enough even when the Dwarf Clan experts arrived.
“During these days when I was not here, did anyone from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and the Shen Family come?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
“There has been no such thing,” the Demon Ape said.
“Young master, we’ve gathered some information. It’s said that tomorrow someone important from the Azure God Mansion will come to the Azure God Academy,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor suddenly said.
“Oh, someone important?” Yang Xiaotian was curious.
“It is one of the four deities of the Azure God Mansion, the Sword God Xi Long,” said the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.
“Sword God Xi Long!” Iceflame Qilin, Azure Thunder Python, Man Fang, and Man Hu were all greatly shocked.
The Demon Ape also showed a surprised look.
The Azure God Mansion was the power left behind by the Lord of Azure God, and its strength was undoubted. Among its many experts, aside from Lord Azure Bear, undoubtedly the strongest were the Mansion Master of the Azure God Mansion and the four deities.
Speaking of the four deities of the Azure God Mansion, no one is not in awe.
The Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi of the Celestial Burial Academy might be powerful, but when facing the four deities of the Azure God Mansion, he still didn’t measure up.
The four deities of the Azure God Mansion were absolutely the most top-tier existence in the Azure God Continent.
Now, they were going to visit the Azure God Academy.
“Why does that old man Xi Long want to come to the Azure God Academy?” the Demon Ape asked the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.
This matter was something that the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor had also just found out about, so the others also learned of it at that moment.
“It’s said that Fan Wuyan has condensed out ten Demon God Sword Hearts, and the day after tomorrow is the new disciple trial of the Azure God Academy. Lord Xi Long is probably coming for Fan Wuyan,” explained the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.
“Coming for Fan Wuyan? Does Lord Xi Long wish to take Fan Wuyan as his disciple?” Iceflame Qilin speculated.
Everyone was surprised.
They hadn’t expected that Sword God Xi Long was coming for Fan Wuyan.
However, it also made sense; Fan Wuyan having condensed ten Demon God Sword Hearts at such a young age was a dazzling accomplishment through the ages. It was no surprise that Sword God Xi Long was moved to accept him as a disciple.
But as everyone thought about Fan Wuyan’s upcoming battle with Yang Xiaotian, their expressions became varied.
“Sword God Xi Long,” Yang Xiaotian murmured.
Afterward, he did not leave the Divine Residence but began to cultivate there.
The next day, he returned to the Azure God Academy.
As soon as he got back, he heard the disciples enthusiastically discussing Princess Tian Wanqing of the Sky Demon Clan and Princess Lin Mei’er of the Charm Clan.
Turns out, both Tian Wanqing and Lin Mei’er had passed the Azure God Academy’s assessment that day.
The performances of the two were extremely dazzling, especially Tian Wanqing, who possessed the Mad Demon Bloodline, had killed more than twenty thousand Fierce Beasts, almost matching Fan Wuyan.
