Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Bro, I’m Proud of You!

The Nine Layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water was incredibly hard to find, and Yang Xiaotian had come to know this all too well over the years.

Since the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone was almost as rare as the Nine Layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, one could imagine how difficult it was to find the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.

“Besides the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone, is there any other way?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

Master Ding shook his head, “Aside from that, there is no other way.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to abandon any other thoughts.

It seemed he had no choice but to search for the Heavenly Fate Divine Stone.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian began to concoct the Heavenly Emperor Pill.

Having already broken through to the Emperor Realm, swallowing the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill for cultivation was no longer very effective, so he had to swallow the Heavenly Emperor Pill.

The Heavenly Emperor Pill, passed down from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, was the best elixir for enhancing Divine Sea True Essence within the Emperor Realm.

The Heavenly Emperor Pill, being the best elixir for enhancing Divine Sea True Essence in the Emperor Realm, was ten times more difficult to concoct than the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.

Moreover, it required a vast array of materials, many of which were seldom seen.

Fortunately, however, the medicinal ingredients in the Ghost Den’s treasure trove that Yang Xiaotian had obtained were plentiful and included the materials needed to concoct the Heavenly Emperor Pill.

Thus, Yang Xiaotian was not short on medicinal ingredients for the time being.

The medicinal ingredients from the Ghost Den’s treasure trove would be enough for Yang Xiaotian to continue his cultivation for some time.

Yang Xiaotian took out the several hundred medicinal ingredients required to concoct the Heavenly Emperor Pill, controlling the three Divine Flames as he did so.

Under the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire, Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, and Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire, half a day later, the first Heavenly Emperor Pill was finally concocted successfully.

Moreover, it successfully triggered a second Heavenly Tribulation, attaining the quality of a double tribulation heavenly grade.

Although he had successfully concocted a double tribulation heavenly grade Heavenly Emperor Pill on his first try, Yang Xiaotian was still not satisfied because the half-day time spent was still too long.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotian began to concoct the second Heavenly Emperor Pill.

The second time, he became much more proficient, and this time it took only a little over four hours.

But Yang Xiaotian still thought that was too much time.

He continued to concoct.

The third pill took just over three hours.

Yet Yang Xiaotian still found it insufficient.

The fourth pill took him less than three hours.

Yang Xiaotian still felt that the time was too long.

Through repeated practice and refinement, finally, after ten days, he managed to reduce the time to within one hour.

It was then that Yang Xiaotian finally stopped.

If Medicine God Feng Yiming, Li Nian, and others knew that Yang Xiaotian was still not satisfied with concocting a double tribulation heavenly grade Heavenly Emperor Pill in half a day, who knows what they would think.

Many seven-star alchemists, if they could concoct an exceptional Heavenly Emperor Pill in a few days, would have considered it a very rare achievement and likely be overjoyed.

On his way, every half month, Yang Xiaotian swallowed a double tribulation heavenly grade Heavenly Emperor Pill for his cultivation.

Of course, he still persisted in swallowing the Six Layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water every day, just as before.

By the time he returned to Azure God Academy, he had successfully broken through to the middle phase of the first layer of the Emperor Realm.

No sooner had Yang Xiaotian returned to Azure God Academy than he heard the academy’s disciples discussing the breakthroughs to the Emperor Realm made by Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, Princess Wan Ning, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han.

The fact that Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han had broken through to the Emperor Realm did not surprise Yang Xiaotian, but he did not expect Princess Wan Ning to have achieved it so quickly.

Princess Wan Ning had previously been at the peak of the Venerable Realm, but she had only just reached that peak not long ago. Yang Xiaotian had originally thought it would take her at least another year to break through to the Emperor Realm.

At this moment, in the great hall of Azure God Academy, Chen Jing watched with delight as Zeng Qianqian, Jun Xiaoyao, Princess Wan Ning, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han gathered before him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Five students breaking through to the Emperor Realm within a month was indeed a record-breaking event for the Azure God Academy.

“Dean, since all five of us have already broken through to the Emperor Realm, when can we report to the Azure God Mansion?” Xie Buhui stepped forward and asked.

Chen Jing pondered and said, “Xiaotian is about to break through to the Emperor Realm as well. Once Xiaotian has broken through, I will take all six of you to report to the Azure God Mansion together.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Buhui frowned and said, “Dean, during the last academy competition, Yang Xiaotian was only in the late period of the Venerable Realm’s tenth layer. No one knows when he will be able to break through to the Emperor Realm. If he can’t break through indefinitely, we can’t just keep waiting for him, can we?”

Xiao Han also spoke up, “Brother Xie is right. If Yang Xiaotian gets stuck at the peak of the Venerable Realm’s tenth layer for ten or eight years, aren’t we supposed to wait for him for that long?”

Many disciples of the Azure God Academy had rapidly advanced their cultivation after breaking through to the Venerable Realm, but upon reaching the peak of the Venerable Realm’s tenth layer, they would invariably be unable to break through the gates to the Emperor Realm. Some were stuck for as long as ten years.

This situation was not uncommon.

Just as Chen Jing was about to speak, suddenly, a voice rang out, “You don’t have to wait for me.”

Everyone was startled.

They saw a figure in light blue walking in from outside the great hall.

Who else could it be but Yang Xiaotian?

Princess Wan Ning saw Yang Xiaotian, her pretty face lighting up with joy, “Xiaotian!”

Zeng Qianqian also brightened up at the sight of Yang Xiaotian’s arrival.

However, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han’s expressions changed drastically, especially Xie Buhui, who subconsciously took a step back.

Yang Xiaotian strode to the center of the great hall and bowed to Chen Jing, “Dean.”

Chen Jing looked at Yang Xiaotian, his face brimming with smiles, “It’s good to have you back.” Then he said to the others, “How about this—within six months, whether Xiaotian has broken through to the Emperor Realm or not, I will take you all to report to the Azure God Mansion. How does that sound?”

“We will wait for Xiaotian for six months.”

Zeng Qianqian nodded, “I’ll follow the Dean’s arrangements.”

“I will also follow the Dean’s arrangements,” Wan Ning said with a smile, harboring even less objection now as she eagerly wished to join Yang Xiaotian in reporting to the Azure God Mansion.

She had sought the help of her elders, allowing her to break through to the Emperor Realm in advance, all for the purpose of accompanying Yang Xiaotian to the Azure God Mansion.

“You don’t need to wait for me,” Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “I have already broken through to the Emperor Realm.”

He no longer concealed his aura, which burst forth, revealing his Emperor Realm presence.

Suddenly, an imperial might swept throughout the hall.

A powerful and invincible force blasted Xie Buhui and Xiao Han out of the hall.

Everyone was shocked.

“Emperor Realm, first layer, mid-stage!”

Yang Xiaotian had not only broken through to the Emperor Realm but had already reached the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm’s first layer!

How was this possible!

After stepping into the Emperor Realm, many people would struggle for years to break through to the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm’s first layer. Yet, in just a matter of months, Yang Xiaotian had progressed directly from the late period of the Venerable Realm’s tenth layer to the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm’s first layer.

All eyes were wide with astonishment.

“Fantastic!” After the initial shock, Chen Jing laughed with joy, “Since Xiaotian has broken through to the Emperor Realm, we will go to report to the Azure God Mansion in two days.”

At the entrance of the great hall, Xie Buhui and Xiao Han were both shocked and angered upon being struck by Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian had clearly done it on purpose. When he released his power, everyone else was fine, but they were the ones blown away.

A flash of black cold light flickered in Xie Buhui’s eyes.

Since they were going to the Azure God Mansion in two days, Yang Xiaotian returned to the Divine Residence. When Yang Chao and Huang Ying learned that their son had broken through to the Emperor Realm and would be going to the Azure God Mansion in two days, thus becoming a disciple of the mansion, they cried tears of overwhelming joy and brimmed with pride.

Even Yang Ling’er was lifting her little clenched fists, laughing out loud, “Bro, I’m so proud of you!”

The Azure God Mansion was the sacred place in the hearts of all martial artists on the Azure God Continent, a place that many talented individuals in the martial dao could not join in their entire lives.

Yet Yang Xiaotian was set to join the Azure God Mansion at the age of fifteen, a feat utterly unprecedented in their time.
