Chapter 226: 226: Dare Not Trespass the Sword Path
After returning from Medicine Peak, Yang Xiaotian began to refine the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.
During the alchemy process, he allowed Wu Qi, Luo Qing, Ate, Ali, and others to watch by his side.
This time, he still used both the Medicine Array and Gale Torrential Rain techniques for refining pills.
At the Empire Pharmacist Competition, he had used Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire and Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame.
Now, he had replaced the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame with Earth Flame.
The Earth Flame is considered the number one Abnormal Fire, vastly more powerful than the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame.
Additionally, with the significant increase in Yang Xiaotian’s strength over these days, refining the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill became much easier for him.
However, what he produced was still of the highest quality.
This was also within Yang Xiaotian’s expectations, as he was only in the Martial King Realm; it was exceedingly difficult to refine the ultimate Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.
Following that, Yang Xiaotian refined three more pills, each also of the highest quality.
The Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill wasn’t needed by Yang Xiaotian, Luo Qing, and the others, so he gave all four pills to Wu Qi for cultivation.
Wu Qi had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor for many years and was now on the verge of a breakthrough, which was imminent.
With these four Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pills, Wu Qi’s breakthrough would be much smoother.
Over the past month or so, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing select eighty people from their slaves, and after Luo Qing and the others made repairs, the entire mountain peak had changed significantly.
Originally, there were no paths on the mountain peak.
Now, pathways had already been created.
Outside the cave mansion, a huge martial arts training ground had also been constructed.
Ordinarily, Luo Qing, Liu An, Liao Kun, and the others would spar and exchange pointers on the training ground.
Also, within the mountain, ten plots of fields had been prepared, filled with a multitude of spiritual medicines.
Moreover, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing create a hundred-acre orchard.
Inside it, a variety of rare spirit fruit trees were planted.
With the nourishment of the mountain’s spiritual energy, it wouldn’t take many years for the spirit fruit trees to mature, providing an endless supply of exquisite fruits each year.
This was the advantage of owning a mountain peak.
It was something that couldn’t be compared to the yards of the Inner Sect Disciples.
Yang Xiaotian also selected a massive stone, sculpted it into a stele using Sword Qi, and then erected it at the summit of the mountain. He inscribed on it: Heaven-Penetrating Peak.
From then on, his mountain would be called Heaven-Penetrating Peak.
One day, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Iceflame Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python and asked about the mysterious entity in the Red Moon Forest.
Although he now had the Iceflame Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python by his side, Yang Xiaotian still felt his power was insufficient.
“Master wants to subdue Old Black?” asked the Iceflame Kylin.
“Old Black?” Yang Xiaotian was startled.
The Iceflame Kylin nodded: “Hundreds of years ago, I clapped paws with Old Black. It was shrouded in darkness, its eyes terrifyingly red, and its body was immensely huge.” Remembering the scene from hundreds of years ago still made the Iceflame Kylin’s heart flutter: “Damn it, that creature’s strength was simply unbearably fierce. With one swipe of my paw, I could split mountains and rift the earth.”
“But with one swipe from that creature, it could definitely make the seas disappear.”
Clearly, the Iceflame Kylin had suffered a great loss during that paw clash.
Yang Xiaotian was surprised: “Enshrouded in darkness!”
The Azure Thunder Python hadn’t expected that hundreds of years ago, Old Bing had clashed with that exceedingly fearsome entity from the Red Moon Forest.
“So you mean, it’s a Dark System Divine Beast?” The Azure Thunder Python was stunned.
The Iceflame Kylin nodded: “Definitely, it’s from the Dark System, but as for what its true form is, I can’t be sure. It stood taller than Old Meng, that much I’m confident about.”
“Taller than me?” The Azure Thunder Python was shocked.
When it coiled up, it was bigger than a mountain.
If the other’s true form was even larger than itself, it must be enormous.
“Old Bing, how strong is the opponent?” Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help asking.
The Iceflame Qilin wore a grave expression, “Very strong, I was flipped over by it and knocked back several miles.”
A clash of claws.
To have flipped the Iceflame Qilin several miles away!
Yang Xiaotian was astonished.
Old Bing is a Super Divine Beast, its strength is immense as one might imagine, yet it was still flung several miles away by the opponent.
No wonder it said that the opponent’s strength was brutally overwhelming.
“If I were to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm, perhaps I would have the strength to fight against it,” said the Iceflame Qilin. “But to subdue it, that’s difficult!”
There’s a difference between having the strength for a battle and actually being able to subdue the opponent.
“Even if you join forces with Old Meng, it won’t work?” asked Yang Xiaotian.
“It won’t work,” the Iceflame Qilin shook its head.
Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but awaken the Medicine Cauldron.
Master Ding said lazily, “No big deal, just give me some Sevenfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, and I can use my Meteor Tumble anytime.”
“Sevenfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water?” Yang Xiaotian was speechless.
The Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water took him a tremendous effort to barely obtain.
Where could he find Sevenfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water?
“Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water won’t do?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
“Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water won’t do,” Master Ding clearly stated.
It seemed that he had to find Sevenfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
After getting a clear response from Master Ding, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to ask Luo Qing to inquire about the Sevenfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
Another ten days passed.
During these days, Yang Xiaotian mainly practiced the Long Clan Divine Ability and Thunderclap Nine Heavens on the mountain peak.
He had mastered over twenty techniques of Thunderclap Nine Heavens.
However, he was still far from the full count of forty-nine techniques.
Thus, it would still take some time to open the palace in the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.
Yang Xiaotian felt that inside that palace there should be Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, and possibly even Sevenfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
Apart from Yang Xiaotian practicing diligently, everyone on Heaven-Penetrating Peak was also practicing urgently.
Previously, the Iceflame Qilin had killed an Ice Dragon of the tenfold Saint Realm, giving its True Dragon Origin Force to Yang Xiaotian, but there was also an Ice Dragon Pearl that neither it nor the Azure Thunder Python needed, so they gave it to the Black Flood Dragon King.
After assimilating the Ice Dragon Pearl, the Black Flood Dragon King’s bloodline drew one step closer to that of a Divine Beast.
Since the New Year was approaching, Yang Xiaotian asked Luo Qing and the others to go shopping for New Year’s goods at the Azure Dragon Commerce Association.
In the afternoon, after Luo Qing returned from the shopping, he reported to Yang Xiaotian the information he had gathered, “Young master, everyone in the True Dragon Divine Sect is talking about You Yi’s great progress on the Sword Path.”
You Yi was an early special recruited seed disciple and was also chosen by Long Hao, destined to become Long Hao’s Direct Disciple, so every single action of his was closely watched by all disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect.
“You Yi has already reached the third Sword Stele,” said Luo Qing.
“Oh, the third Sword Stele already,” Yang Xiaotian said, slightly surprised.
The Sword Path had a total of eighteen Sword Steles, and You Yi, having been in the True Dragon Divine Sect for just over two months, had already reached the third one—this speed was indeed fast.
Luo Qing nodded, “In just over two months, reaching the third Sword Stele, You Yi has broken the record of the True Dragon Divine Sect. It has even caught the attention of the higher echelons of the sect, with some saying that You Yi might even make it to the end of the Sword Path.”
At this, Luo Qing hesitated, “Many disciples are also saying that you, young master, don’t dare to take on the Sword Path because you are afraid.”
“Afraid? What am I afraid of?” Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but laugh.
During these days, he had been practicing the Long Clan Divine Ability and Thunderclap Nine Heavens at Heaven-Penetrating Peak, oblivious to external affairs, and he didn’t expect people to be instigating rumors.
“They say you’re afraid of losing to You Yi, which is why you don’t dare to take on the Sword Path.”
