“What happened?!” Yang Xiaotian looked at Luo Qing’s injuries, his expression icy cold.
Luo Qing’s dantian had suffered a heavy blow. If it hadn’t been for his hard cultivation of the Wooden Emperor Skill during these days, his dantian would have likely shattered just as before.
Although it wasn’t shattered now, the dantian had suffered severe trauma.
“It was the Tuoluo Sect! We were ambushed by masters from the Tuoluo Sect on our way back!” Liao Kun said with hatred.
“They all had their faces covered, but we’re sure they were masters from the
Tuoluo Sect.” Zhang Jingrong also said resentfully, “In addition to the Tuoluo Sect masters, there were also people from Tiandou Academy.”
Tiandou Academy!
Yang Xiaotian’s face darkened.
Once again, Tiandou Academy!
“Was it He Qingzhe?” Yang Xiaotian asked coldly.
Last time, He Qingzhe from Tiandou Academy sent people to harm his sister Yang Ling’er, so Yang Xiaotian could not help but think of He Qingzhe.
Zhang Jingrong shook her head: “The enemies and the people from the Tuoluo Sect were all masked. We couldn’t see who it was, but in the end, that person used a sword technique that was unmistakably Tiandou Sword Technique.” The Tiandou Sword Technique is one of the supreme divine powers of Tiandou
Academy.
“Tiandou Sword Technique.” Yang Xiaotian murmured.
Such supreme divine powers like the Tiandou Sword Technique were only qualified to be learned by the core disciples of the inner court of Tiandou Academy, and that too, by the most core group among them.
“However, based on the person’s strength, it shouldn’t be He Qingzhe.” Liao
Kun said, “The person was at the sixth or seventh level of the Martial Ancestor
Realm.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
Now that they knew that the person was a core disciple of Tiandou Academy’s inner court, could use the Tiandou Sword Technique, and had close ties with the Tuoluo Sect, it wouldn’t be difficult to investigate further.
“Young Master.” At this moment, Liao Kun hesitated, “During the ambush, half of the medicinal materials that the Young Master asked us to buy were stolen.”
This time, Yang Xiaotian had given them a million gold to purchase medicinal materials for refining the Nine Suns Longevity Pill, and now that half of it had been stolen, Yang Xiaotian had suffered a loss of five hundred thousand!
Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and the other three all bowed their heads, their faces filled with guilt.
Even Luo Qing said weakly, “Young Master, we were incompetent in carrying out the task you entrusted to us.” As he spoke, he too lowered his head in shame.
During these days, Yang Xiaotian’s kindness to him was as heavy as a mountain; not only had he healed his dantian, but he had also imparted cultivation techniques to him and given him quality elixirs. Yet now, he had failed at the task entrusted to him by Yang Xiaotian.
Five hundred thousand was no small amount.
Even for the former Red Saber Sect, it wasn’t a small sum.
“It’s okay.” Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “You don’t have to blame yourselves, your safe return is what truly matters.” Then he said, “Five hundred thousand is nothing. When the time comes, I will just sell a few quality elixirs.”
Five hundred thousand was not a trivial amount for others, but for Yang Xiaotian at present, it was simply the value of a few quality Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
When Luo Qing and the others heard that Yang Xiaotian was not blaming them, they felt even more remorse.
Soon after, Yang Xiaotian gave Luo Qing and the others elixirs to heal their injuries, told them to go back and recover properly, and to ignore other matters for the time being.
Yang Xiaotian summoned Wu Qi, Liu An, and a few other disciples to ask about the Tiandou Sword Technique.
As for the Tiandou Sword Technique, his knowledge was limited.
“Tiandou Sword Technique is the signature technique left by the founding ancestor of Tiandou Academy,” Wu Qi explained, “However, the Tiandou Sword Technique can only exhibit its greatest power when used in conjunction with the Tiandou Sword.”
“Tiandou Sword?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.
Wu Qi nodded: “The Tiandou Sword is one of the Heavenly Swords, ranked seventeenth on the Heavenly Sword Ranking. It’s said to have been forged by an ancient powerhouse using Starfall Meteiron. When the Tiandou Sword is employed with the Tiandou Sword Technique, it can harness the power of the stars from the Nine Heavens; the might is extremely formidable. Sadly, Tiandou Academy has lost the Tiandou Sword.”
“What, the Tiandou Sword is lost?” Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised.
In the Martial Soul World, there are Heaven-Penetrating Divine Swords and other ten major divine swords, and below the ten major divine swords are the Heavenly Swords.
Although the power of the Heavenly Swords is not as great as the ten major divine swords, they are extremely close to the power of the ten major divine swords.
There are only ten divine swords.
However, there are over a hundred Heavenly Swords.
These Heavenly Swords, just like the ten major divine swords, are swords that have invoked heavenly tribulation, endured through it, and successfully passed the heavenly tribulation. However, due to certain reasons, their power is not as strong as that of the ten major divine swords.
Divine swords are unattainable, so many sword dao experts pursue the
Heavenly Swords as their goal.
“Yes, it was lost decades ago, ” Wu Qi said with a look of regret, “Because the Tiandou Sword was lost, the strength of the Tiandou Academy was significantly affected. Over the years, the Tiandou Academy has been searching for the Tiandou Sword, but to no avail.”
“However, the Tiandou Academy still has one more Heavenly Sword,” Wu Qi suddenly said.
Yang Xiaotian was astonished, “The Tiandou Academy has two Heavenly
Swords?”
Wu Qi said, “The other Heavenly Sword of the Tiandou Academy is called the Controlling Dragon Sword, ranked seventy-first among the Heavenly Swords.” He added, “But this Controlling Dragon Sword has a dragon soul sealed within it, and currently, no one in the Tiandou Academy can wield the Controlling Dragon Sword.”
“It is said that many of the Inner Court Students of the Tiandou Academy specially cultivate the Long Clan Technique in order to wield the Controlling Dragon Sword, but the Long Clan Technique is not so easy to successfully cultivate.”
Wu Qi shook his head.
Yang Xiaotian’s mind stirred.
A dragon soul?
His Primordial Dragon Art was the top-tier cultivation technique of the Ancient Dragon Clan, so it should be able to subdue the dragon soul in the sword, right?
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice alchemy, swordsmanship, and cultivate his Primordial Dragon Art in the courtyard.
Every month, Yang Xiaotian would consume an excellent Nine Suns Longevity Pill.
His strength was steadily progressing.
And his Hundred Swords Technique became even more advanced.
His Primordial Dragon Art was also steadily improving. After more than two months, the True Dragon Seed he had awakened reached ninety-nine heads, giving him the strength of ninety-nine True Dragons.
When his True Dragon Seed awakened to one thousand heads, then he would truly possess the body of a True Dragon.
“True Dragon Body,” Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.
According to his current pace of cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art, upon breaking through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, he should be able to have the True Dragon Body.
One day, while Yang Xiaotian was in the courtyard practicing the Hundred Swords Technique, Hall Master Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and also Lin Yong and Chen Yuan came to find him.
“Hall Master, everyone outside is talking, saying you are going to participate in the Divine Sea Country’s academy competition?” Chen Changqing asked.
The Divine Sea Academy competition was just a few days away.
The rumors that Yang Xiaotian was going to participate in the academy competition were getting louder, and the several of them came together to confirm.
“Yes, I am going to participate in this academy competition,” Yang Xiaotian said. He had no reason to lie to them.
“Hall Master, have you thought it through?” He Le hesitated for a moment before saying, “To participate in the academy competition usually involves disciples above the seventh level of the Innate stage, and to seize the top ten spots, one must at least be at the Martial King Realm.”
“Why not wait for the next one?”
Clearly, they were still worried about Yang Xiaotian’s strength.
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, “I don’t want to wait another three years.” He then smiled at Chen Changqing and Lin Yong, “Don’t worry, there should be no one in this academy competition who can hurt me..”
