Chapter 240: King of Assassins, King of Netherworld
Upon seeing the Netherworld Bead in Wu Peng’s hands, Lin Yu exclaimed with joy, “Good, I’ll have someone contact the King of Netherworld immediately!”
Wu Peng nodded, then changed the topic, saying, “The Azure Thunder Python has undergone Bloodline Return to Ancestry. What do you all think of this matter?”
Another Divine Spirit Realm ancestor of the Sky-Stepping Sect, Tang Hong, said, “If we can form an alliance with the Azure Thunder Python and that Lord Long, the fall of the Divine Dragon Imperial Clan is imminent!”
“Indeed, as long as we ally with the Azure Thunder Python and that Lord Long, plus the Green Sea God Sect and the Four States Imperial Family, we could single-handedly obliterate the Divine Dragon Imperial Clan.” Other Divine Spirit ancestors also spoke up one after another.
Wu Peng said to Lin Yu, “Find out the whereabouts of the Azure Thunder Python and Lord Long at all costs; we must also rope in that Lord Long.”
“Tell him that if he’s willing to form an alliance with our Sky-Stepping Sect, he may select anything he desires from the treasuries of our sect.”
“Yes, ancestor.”
The next day.
It was You Yi’s mentorship ceremony.
Originally, the strong practitioners from various major sects came to the True Dragon Divine Sect mainly for his mentorship ceremony, but after yesterday’s True Dragon assessment, everyone lost interest in the ceremony.
Throughout the mentorship ceremony, individuals like Li Hong, Zhao Jinzhou, and Wang Zhou were all distracted.
The event didn’t even have the anticipated laughter and cheerful voices.
Even You Yi and Ancestor Long Hao couldn’t muster a smile.
During the mentorship ceremony, Yang Xiaotian did not attend, instead, he was cultivating the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique on Heaven-Penetrating Peak.
He had persisted in practicing the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.
Now, he had reached the twenty-fourth move, “Nine Swords Reincarnation.”
If it had been before, the absence of Yang Xiaotian from You Yi’s mentorship ceremony would have certainly incited scathing remarks from people like Hu Yue, Zhu Miaomiao, and Wang Yao, but after yesterday’s True Dragon test, these individuals were dispirited during the ceremony, lacking the energy to speak up.
The mentorship ceremony concluded somewhat hastily.
As the sun set.
Yang Xiaotian stood on Heaven-Penetrating Peak, gazing at the setting sun on the horizon.
He enjoyed watching the sunset.
The glow of the sunset draped over everything on the earth, casting a colorful splendor.
Just then, a sudden surge of astonishing power emanated from somewhere on Heaven-Penetrating Peak, accompanied by a holy light shooting up into the sky.
Yang Xiaotian saw the rising holy light, not alarmed but elated.
In the Green Sea Dragon Palace, he had obtained many imperial class elixirs from the Dragon Clan. After returning, he selected the best imperial class elixir for the Black Flood Dragon King.
For the past two days, the Black Flood Dragon King had been in seclusion, cultivating.
It seemed that the Black Flood Dragon King, who had been stuck at the peak of the Emperor Realm, was about to break through to the Saint Realm.
The Black Flood Dragon King’s breakthrough to the Saint Realm naturally garnered the attention of the True Dragon Divine Sect’s upper echelon.
Upon hearing the news, Hu Nan laughed joyously, “Good! Three blessings have arrived at our door!”
Since the Black Flood Dragon King was Yang Xiaotian’s Mount Beast, its breakthrough to the Saint Realm would add a significant strength to the True Dragon Divine Sect, which was indeed a great event for the sect.
The next day.
Hu Nan visited Yang Xiaotian’s mountain peak and personally gave him a token, smiling, “This Divine Son Token is unique, I forged it myself yesterday using the only piece of True Dragon Essence Stone from our True Dragon Divine Sect.”
Yang Xiaotian accepted the Divine Son Token and said, bowing his fist, “Thank you, Sect Master.”
Hu Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, “Xiaotian, as I’ve said before, you can just call me Uncle Hu in the future.”
Afterward, he took another look around Yang Xiaotian’s Heaven-Penetrating Peak and gazed upon the Heaven-Penetrating Stele that Yang Xiaotian had erected. “Excellent stele, excellent swordsmanship!” he exclaimed.
Now, anything related to Yang Xiaotian he found particularly pleasing to the eye.
Before leaving, Hu Nan told Yang Xiaotian to prepare and that he would enter the True Dragon Secret Realm to cultivate the very next day.
Late at night.
The night was as cool as water.
Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.
Dragon Qi surged around his body, more than two thousand True Essence Dragons twined around him.
During this breakthrough into the Martial Ancestor Realm, the True Dragon Power he awakened had reached over two thousand strands.
And his True Dragon Body had successfully broken through to the True Dragon Tyrant Body, and because of this, even You Yi’s activation of the five Sword Steles’ powers of the Sword Path could not shake him in the slightest.
With the terrifying defense of his current True Dragon Tyrant Body, not to mention You Yi, who was at the first level of Martial Ancestor, even if he broke through to the fourth or fifth level, he still would not be able to shake Yang Xiaotian at all.
The Black Tortoise Martial Spirit and the Black Dragon Martial Spirit hovered above Yang Xiaotian’s head, inhaling and exhaling as spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens poured down continuously.
After breaking through to the Martial Ancestor, both powerful Martial Spirits underwent significant changes as well.
The tortoise shell of the Black Tortoise Martial Spirit became even thicker, with interwoven patterns that seemed to contain the profound mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
The eyes of the Black Dragon Martial Spirit blazed even more intensely with golden flames. Its body was engulfed in rolling Dark Power, and its black dragon scales became even more robust.
Before he knew it, dawn had arrived.
Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating and, when he came to the hall, Qingxuan, Long Lan, and the Yang Family were all there.
Today, Yang Xiaotian was set to enter the True Dragon Secret Realm for training and would not emerge until a year later. Qingxuan and Long Lan were also going to return to the Imperial Capital and had come to bid farewell to Yang Xiaotian.
At the moment of farewell, Qingxuan’s eyes brimmed with tears as she clutched Yang Xiaotian’s hand, “Brother Xiaotian, remember to come see me in the Imperial Capital after you come out of the True Dragon Secret Realm. I will ask Father Emperor to let me marry you.”
“Pfft!” Yang Ling’er sprayed out the lollipop in her mouth, staring at her older brother. Wasn’t this supposed to be nothing serious? Yet, it had escalated to the point of discussing marriage.
I don’t believe you for a second!
Both Yang Chao and Huang Ying were also dumbstruck.
Feeling the burning stares of his sister and parents, Yang Xiaotian said to Qingxuan with a smile, “Alright, once I come out of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, I will go to see you in the Imperial Capital.”
At these words, Qingxuan was overjoyed and even hooked fingers with Yang Xiaotian.
Finally, Qingxuan and Long Lan left the Heaven-Penetrating Peak to return to the Imperial Capital.
Yang Xiaotian, in the company of his sister and family, made his way to the entrance of the True Dragon Secret Realm.
Hu Nan personally opened the entrance for Yang Xiaotian, sending him in.
As he sent Yang Xiaotian into the realm, he instructed him to make the most of every day in the True Dragon Secret Realm.
After all, Yang Xiaotian could only cultivate there for one year.
Watched by everyone, Yang Xiaotian entered the True Dragon Secret Realm.
The entrance to the secret realm closed.
However, no one noticed that a second before the secret realm’s entrance closed, a figure also followed Yang Xiaotian into the True Dragon Secret Realm.
This figure, hidden in space, possessed a stealth technique far more advanced than that of the previous Shadow Night Demon, so much so that even Hu Nan failed to detect its presence.
As the True Dragon Secret Realm closed, Hu Nan and the others departed.
They would return after a year to wait for Yang Xiaotian to come out.
Upon entering the True Dragon Secret Realm, Yang Xiaotian looked around and saw mountain ranges ahead, spiritual medicines scattered all over, and pure True Dragon Qi drifting throughout the space.
This True Dragon Secret Realm was like an undeveloped mini-world.
While Yang Xiaotian was flying, he suddenly turned his head and called out, “Doesn’t Your Excellency intend to come out?”
The figure that had followed him into the realm evidently hesitated for a moment before finally emerging from the void.
The one who appeared was an old man radiating coldness, holding the Blade of Death, and looked at Yang Xiaotian with surprise and suspicion.
“The King of Killers, King of Netherworld,” Yang Xiaotian said slowly, looking at the old man.
