Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Wang Tao, the Grand Hall Master’s Closed-door Disciple

Yang Xiaotian was taken by surprise.

Behind the Demon Palace where the progenitor of the ancient Corpse Demon cultivated, there was a hidden spatial gateway?

But from the outside, it was completely invisible.

“This spatial gateway is very secretive, located at the deepest part of the Demon Palace,” Master Ding said.

Yang Xiaotian’s seventeen Heavenly Emperor Seal marks swept over it, only to see that the entire Demon Palace was enveloped by a Forbidden Grand Array, making forceful entry impossible.

“Master Ding, is there any way?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

Master Ding shook his head and said, “I can take you through this Great Array Prohibition, but the gates of the Demon Palace can only be opened with the Netherworld Divine Art of fifteen layers or above.”

He had said before, he was not omnipotent.

Yang Xiaotian’s brows furrowed as he approached the gates of the Demon Palace bathed in Master Ding’s golden light and started channeling the Netherworld Divine Art.

Over these days, by absorbing the Corpse Demon Energy in the Sword Ruins for cultivation, his Netherworld Divine Art had advanced to the twelfth layer. However, when he tried to blast the gates open, there was always a force blocking him, making it completely immovable.

After numerous attempts, Yang Xiaotian shifted to the Eternal Divine Body.

He wondered if the Power of Time of the Eternal Divine Body could blast open the gates, but the same invisible force emerged, warding off the power of his Eternal Divine Body.

“You are still too weak now. If you break through to the Divine Spirit Realm and the Eternal Divine Body reaches the Perfection Realm, maybe after bombarding it for a few months, you might be able to blast open these Demon Palace gates,” Master Ding said.

Yang Xiaotian was left speechless.

It seemed that he had no choice but to wait until he broke through to the Divine Spirit Realm to come back.

He always felt that the disappearance of his master and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was related to this spatial gateway.

Thus, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to return the same way with the Kui Ox.

On the way, Yang Xiaotian refined the Great Dragon Divine Sword and the Bright Night Demon Sword, cultivating the two great Sword Techniques while also absorbing the Corpse Demon Energy in the Sword Ruins to cultivate the Netherworld Divine Art.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian swallowed the Destiny God Fruit, cultivated the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body, and continuously tempered and compressed the Holy Essence of his Divine Sea.

However, the fifteenth Primordial Universe Holy Fruit was more difficult to condense than he had imagined; no matter how much he compressed the Holy Essence of the Divine Sea, he still couldn’t condense the fifteenth Primordial Universe Holy Fruit.

More than two months later, when Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Sword Ruins, he had cultivated both the Great Dragon Sword Technique and the Bright Night Sword Technique to minor completion, reaching the peak of minor completion.

As for the Heavenly Beast Sword Technique and the Swallowing Sun Sword Technique, they had already reached great accomplishment, just a hair’s breadth away from perfection.

However, now, without finding the Desolate Heavenly Sword, he wouldn’t be able to enter the Desolate Temple. Without the Desolate Heavenly Sword and the Destiny God Sword, even if he got the Heaven and Earth Divine Sword of the Heaven and Earth Dominator, he would still lack one Divine Sword to cultivate the fifteen Supreme Sword Intents.

When Yang Xiaotian discussed this with the Kui Ox, the Kui Ox pondered and said, “Perhaps, you can try going to the Sword God Hall.”

“The Sword God Hall,” Yang Xiaotian echoed in astonishment.

The Kui Ox said, “In the Sword God Hall, there is a Sword Abyss, within which lie countless famous swords, and the ancestral sword of the founder of the Sword God Hall is among them.”

Yang Xiaotian was surprised.

The founder of the Sword God Hall was a supreme Sword Dao powerhouse during the Desolate Era, one of the top ten powerhouses of that time, and his sword was in the Sword Abyss?

“The Immeasurable Divine Sword is in the Sword Abyss?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

“Yes, the founder of the Sword God Hall left the Immeasurable Divine Sword in the Sword Abyss for someone with destiny. However, despite countless ages passing, no Sword God from the Sword God Hall has been able to subdue the Immeasurable Divine Sword,” the Kui Ox said, shaking its head. “With your fifteen Invincible Sword Hearts and the nine great Supreme Sword Intents you’ve cultivated, you could try entering the Sword Abyss.”

“To see if you can find the Immeasurable Divine Sword.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

The Immeasurable Divine Sword?

The Immeasurable Divine Sword, the ancestral sword of the founder of the Sword God Hall, possessed unimaginable power. Legend had it that if one could subdue the Immeasurable Divine Sword and cultivate the Immeasurable Sword Intent, the Sword Intent would be endless and boundless.

Even if the opponent fled to another continent, a single sword strike could kill them!

That is to say, in Zhongtian Continent, with the power of Immeasurable Sword Intent, one could even kill a powerful being who had escaped to another continent!

How formidable that would be.

Although it sounds exaggerated and hard to believe, since it’s a legend, it might not be entirely false.

Given that, it’s time to make a trip to the Sword God Hall.

He remembered that back in the day, Wang Yang from the Sword God Hall had invited him to join them.

Now that the First Sword God, Yuan Wei, was missing, shouldn’t his master Zhang Hong be in charge of the Sword God Hall?

Thus, Yang Xiaotian started his spaceship and headed towards the main hall of the Sword God Hall.

On the way, he passed by the Pharmacist Hall and purchased a large amount of divine-level medicinal materials to refine God-Breaking Pills of the third tribulation grade, which he then fed to the Destiny God Tree and the Death God Tree.

By the time they arrived at the grand hall of the Sword God Hall, Yang Xiaotian’s Great Dragon Sword Technique and Bright Night Sword Technique had already broken through to the Great Accomplishment Realm.

And the Heavenly Beast Sword Technique and Swallowing Sun Sword Technique had already been cultivated to the peak of Great Accomplishment.

The Sword God Grand Hall was located in Shenzhou as well, but quite a distance from the Pharmacist Hall.

When they arrived at the Sword God Grand Hall, it was early morning, just as dawn was breaking, and the grand hall was already bustling with noise.

Almost every martial artist in Zhongtian Continent practiced swordsmanship and sword cultivation, making the Sword God Grand Hall even livelier than the Pharmacist Hall.

Powerhouses from various empires continuously entered and exited the Sword God Grand Hall, in an endless stream. Some came to buy swords or sword manuals, while others came to be assessed as sword masters.

Others came to hand over completed tasks.

After entering the Sword God Grand Hall, Yang Xiaotian headed towards the side hall designated for the assessment of sword masters.

The regulations of the Sword God Grand Hall stipulate that only sword gods from the hall can enter the Sword Abyss, so he needed to be assessed for Nine-Star Sword God.

As Yang Xiaotian headed towards the side hall of the hall, many sword masters were whispering and discussing the matter of the new Grand Hall Master of the Sword God Hall.

“Who would have thought that Master Zhang Hong would lose!”

“With Master Zhang Hong’s defeat, the Sword God Hall is likely to see major changes!”

It turned out that after Yuan Wei’s disappearance for several years, the ten great sword gods of the hall proposed to elect someone to temporarily take charge of the Sword God Hall.

In the end, it was decided that a contest among the ten great sword gods would be held, and whoever won would take charge of the hall.

Originally, everyone thought that the second sword god, Zhang Hong, would win, but unexpectedly, Zhang Hong lost to the third sword god, Wang Tao. As Wang Tao had always been incompatible with Zhang Hong like water and fire, now that he was in charge of the Sword God Hall, he began to suppress the followers of Zhang Hong.

“It is said that Wang Tao received the support of the Tian Family. In order to ensure Wang Tao’s victory, they didn’t hesitate to feed him a Nine Core Sword Fruit of the ten-million-year grade!”

“A Nine Core Sword Fruit of the ten-million-year grade! No wonder!”

“Now that Wang Tao is in charge of the Sword God Hall, the Tian Family’s influence has grown even more. Moreover, Heavenly Monarch Wan has already proposed to the ten great heavenly monarchs to follow the Sword God Hall’s example. If a contest among the ten monarchs is held, whoever wins will temporarily take charge of the Heavenly Court!”

“Some say that Heavenly Monarch Wan’s strength is not below Sword Heavenly Monarch’s. When the contest comes, Heavenly Monarch Wan is likely to win!”

Hearing the discussions, Yang Xiaotian frowned.

He hadn’t expected the Sword God Hall to be now under the control of the third Sword God, Wang Tao, and moreover, that Wang Tao was from the Tian Family.

Also, if Heavenly Monarch Wan took charge of the Heavenly Court, that would definitely be a big problem.

At that moment, the crowd stirred.

“Lord Xu Feng has arrived!”

“Lord Xu Feng is Grand Hall Master Wang Tao’s closed-door disciple and has the number one Sword Dao Talent amongst the young generation in the Sword God Hall. Having cultivated for merely three hundred years, he has already comprehended nine types of Supreme Sword Intent. He must be here to be assessed for Nine-Star Sword God this time!”
