Yang Xiaotian suddenly appeared behind Wang Fan and Liu Shuang, scaring them half to death.
They both slipped, nearly dropping the corpse they were holding onto the ground.
In the end, the two of them fled with the corpse.
Yang Xiaotian watched their departing figures indifferently, then returned to the residence with the Black Flood Dragon King.
After Yang Xiaotian left, Tian Meiling and Tang Lin still had Yang Xiaotian’s threat to crush his eggs echoing in their ears.
Those were none other than the eggs of Wang Zhou from the Empire Pharmacist Hall. The dominance in Yang Xiaotian’s words!
Eventually, everyone left with their own thoughts.
The streets were still ravaged by the fierce wind.
The dust soon covered the blood on the ground.
He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong returned to Tiandou Academy without saying a word to each other on the way.
Once back at the academy, Guo Wei angrily said, “Yang Xiaotian spoke arrogantly, thinking he’s invincible just because he has a fierce beast from the Emperor Realm.”
“Wang Zhou is a powerhouse at the peak of the Saint Realm. If Yang Xiaotian dares to go to the Empire Pharmacist Hall, Wang Zhou will surely crush him,” Xiao Yong added furiously.
He Qingzhe, however, was looking at Lin Xiao and asked, “Lin Xiao, you are also a Beast Tamer. Do you think it’s possible for you to subdue an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast?”
Lin Xiao shook his head, “It took a Herculean effort to subdue the Zhu Yan, and I nearly died at its hands. To say nothing of an Emperor Realm beast, even a Martial Ancestor-level beast is beyond my ability to subdue.”
He Qingzhe’s forehead creased with worry, “Then how did Yang Xiaotian manage to subdue that dragon?”
Lin Xiao remained silent, puzzled by the same question.
Before long, Wang Zhou also found out about Yang Xiaotian’s claim to crush his balls, and naturally, he was livid with rage.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate divine skills in the residence and entered the Sword Tower to comprehend the Sword Wall.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
He had already cultivated all thirty-two Supreme Divine Powers from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure to the Great Achievement Realm, and some had even reached the Perfection Realm.
In the Sword Tower, he had completely comprehended the sixteen levels.
During these three months, his followers also greatly improved their strength. The Black Flood Dragon King, having reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, had made significant advancements after practicing the Ancient Dragon Clan Technique given by Yang Xiaotian and was showing signs of breaking through to the Saint Realm.
As for the Azure Thunder Python, after daily consumption of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and top-quality Endless Life Pills, its wounds had fully healed.
In the words of the Azure Thunder Python, if Zhu Jing dared to come again, it could now kill him with absolute certainty.
Yang Xiaotian’s father and mother also improved rapidly in strength.
Yang Chao was already at the seventh layer of the Innate Realm, and Huang Ying was at the fifth.
During these days, Wang Zhou seemed to have been content, sending no one over.
This day, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the gate to the seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower.
Today, he was going to step onto the seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower.
Fan Riquan had once said,
The seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower should be one of the ten Supreme Divine Powers.
He circulated his Sword Qi, blasting open the door to the seventeenth floor and walked up.
No one had ever reached the seventeenth floor of the Sword Tower before, so Yang Xiaotian was the first one.
In the center of the seventeenth floor, there was no Sword Wall.
Instead, there were swords etched on the stone walls all around the tower.
The swords varied in shape, adding up to a total of seventeen.
Although it was only a depiction of swords, Yang Xiaotian could still feel an astonishing Sword Qi coming from the images on the stone wall.
It seemed as though this Sword Qi would never be worn away by time.
Yang Xiaotian approached the stone wall, carefully contemplating the Supreme Divine Power contained within these seventeen swords.
After ten days, he finally fully comprehended the Supreme Divine Power contained in the seventeen sword images of the seventeenth floor.
“The Immortal Sword Technique!”
One of the ten Supreme Divine Powers of the Divine Dragon Empire.
If one could cultivate the Immortal Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm, a sword strike would emit Sword Qi that lasted for a long time. If one were to cultivate it to Summit Mastery, the Sword Qi could persist for years, just like the everlasting Sword Qi on the current stone wall.
After thoroughly comprehending the Immortal Sword Technique of the seventeenth floor, Yang Xiaotian reached the entrance to the eighteenth floor, blasting open the tower door with the Immortal Sword Qi, and stepped onto the eighteenth level.
In the center of the eighteenth floor, there was an Ancient Sword laid out, with a Secret Tome placed beside it.
From afar, upon seeing the Ancient Sword and the Secret Tome, Yang Xiaotian’s heart raced; Fan Riquan had mentioned that the eighteenth floor might hold a Heavenly Sword and its swordsmanship.
However, when Yang Xiaotian arrived in front of the Ancient Sword, he frowned to see that the body of the sword was riddled with fine cracks!
This sword was unmistakably a broken sword!
A broken sword, meaning one that had been damaged by some force and was incomplete.
Such a sword was undoubtedly a waste sword, unable to unleash the force of a sword.
Disappointed, Yang Xiaotian picked up the Secret Tome beside it and flipped it open, his emotions complex.
This Secret Tome was titled “Burying Heaven Sword Technique.”
And that broken sword was none other than the Burying Heaven Sword, ranking first on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.
The Burying Heaven Sword, ranked first among Heavenly Swords, was second only to the various Divine Swords in terms of power.
But it was regrettably damaged.
Yang Xiaotian picked up the Burying Heaven Sword, it was heavy, and its blade had not a trace of light.
“Master Ding, is there any way to repair this Burying Heaven Sword?” asked Yang Xiaotian after awakening the Medicine Cauldron.
“There is a way, but it’s quite difficult,” said the Medicine Cauldron.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s spirits lifted: “What way?”
“Didn’t you obtain an Innate Spiritual Root earlier in the Black Snow Mountain? If you were to nurture this sword on the Innate Spiritual Root for several decades and then temper it with the Innate Sword Qi you collected for several more decades, and finally refine it with the power of your four Sword Hearts for another few decades, it should be possible to repair it,” said the Medicine Cauldron.
Yang Xiaotian was dumbfounded.
Several decades plus several more decades and then another few decades: wouldn’t that be over a hundred years?
In more than a hundred years, who knows what realm he would be in by then; it would be pointless to repair it.
“Isn’t there a way to speed up the repair process?” Yang Xiaotian asked helplessly.
The Medicine Cauldron replied, “The fastest method is to reforge it in the furnace, but it needs to be tempered with Divine Flame, and also with Innate Sword Qi, Innate Fine Iron, and Tribulation Thunder Water of the fourth level or higher.”
“After the forging success, you should further refine the sword blade with the power of your Nine-Colored Sword Heart. If you had ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts, it should be completely repaired within a month.”
“Innate Fine Iron? Fourth level or higher Tribulation Thunder Water? Ten Nine-Colored Sword Hearts?” Yang Xiaotian smiled wryly.
He had the Divine Flame and the Innate Sword Qi, but where to find Innate Fine Iron, fourth level or higher Tribulation Thunder Water?
And he had only condensed four Nine-Colored Sword Hearts so far; to gather ten of them would take an indeterminate amount of time.
After a moment, he could only put away the Burying Heaven Sword and its technique, and leave the Sword Tower.
Standing outside the Sword Tower and looking up at the towering edifice that pierced the clouds, Yang Xiaotian pondered. The Sword God Powerhouse who left behind this Sword Tower must have hidden other secrets.
Perhaps, once he had repaired the Burying Heaven Sword and successfully cultivated the Burying Heaven Sword Technique, he could unlock this secret.
