At this moment, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the entrance of the Inner Hall.
The doors of the Inner Hall were tightly closed, with countless Sword Dao patterns etched above them.
Yang Xiaotian took a look and then, with a wave of his hands, unleashed the Sword Qi of the hundredth Stone Sword.
Instantly, the patterns of Sword Dao lit up, and the doors of the Inner Hall slowly opened.
As the doors opened, a vast hall appeared before Yang Xiaotian.
The hall was several thousand square meters, with a floor made from polished Mysterious Iron Stone. A large bookshelf stood to the left wall, and the right was adorned with a variety of swords.
Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to browse through the books on the shelf, finding Swordsmanship Manuals, Cultivation Techniques, and manuals for punches and palm strikes, but predominantly sword techniques.
All these martial arts, at the minimum, were Innate Top Martial Techniques.
Many were Divine Skills.
However, only warriors in the Martial King Realm could cultivate these Divine Skills.
These sword techniques and Divine Skills were the closely guarded secrets of the Divine Sword Academy.
Casually glancing through these sword techniques and martial arts, Yang Xiaotian approached a stone table in the upper left corner of the hall, where several books were placed. He flipped through them and discovered they were personal notes penned by Cao Shun, the founding ancestor of the Divine Sword Academy—but the content deeply surprised and startled him.
Because the notes by Cao Shun were all related to the ten major Divine Swords.
He even mentioned the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword and talked about the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.
Besides the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword, there were records of the other nine major Divine Swords.
For instance, details about the unique features and powers of the ten major Divine Swords’ techniques.
The Eternal Night Sword was described in the greatest detail.
Since it was related to the ten major Divine Swords, Yang Xiaotian read very carefully, not missing a single page.
After finishing his reading, he closed the book, feeling a surge of emotions.
He hadn’t expected Cao Shun to have conducted such extensive research on the ten major Divine Swords.
According to him, there was a high possibility that one of the ten, the Eternal Night Sword, was located in the Death Sword Tomb.
“Death Sword Tomb,” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.
The Death Sword Tomb was within the territory of the Divine Dragon Empire.
However, according to Cao Shun, the Death Sword Tomb was a burial ground for swords, entombing countless masters of the sword and their renowned blades.
But the Death Sword Tomb was extremely dangerous, and no one who entered was able to leave alive.
In any case, those who entered disappeared.
Over the ages, many people had entered the Death Sword Tomb, hoping to be lucky and find swords or peerless Sword Manuals, but without exception, none returned.
“Master Ding, do you think we stand a chance at the Death Sword Tomb?” Yang Xiaotian asked aloud.
“What Death Sword Tomb? Never heard of it,” said Medicine Cauldron, “But no danger should be greater than the Abyss of Sin. We should take the chance to explore if we can.”
Although Yang Xiaotian did not know what the Abyss of Sin was, Medicine Cauldron’s words gave him some confidence.
The Death Sword Tomb was a place he could consider challenging in the future.
Leaving the Inner Hall, Yang Xiaotian encountered Chen Changqing and He Le among five others.
Their emotions were complex upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again.
Abnormal Fires were rare, and conquering one was an extraordinary feat for anyone.
If one could tame an Abnormal Fire ranked within the top hundred, it would certainly be an earth-shattering event.
Not to mention taming one ranked among the top ten of the Abnormal Fire List.
Taming one of the top ten Abnormal Fires surely made one a big shot among big shots.
“Hall Master, perhaps you should consider living in the Sword Hall from now on?” Chen Changqing suggested to Yang Xiaotian.
Now that Yang Xiaotian had become the Sword Hall Master, he had to consider Yang Xiaotian’s safety.
“No need,” Yang Xiaotian shook his head.
Now that Luo Qing had broken through to the Martial Ancestor, the protective forces around him were not weak either.
Of course, with his current strength, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to want to kill him.
Hearing this, Chen Changqing didn’t dare to insist and said, “How about we follow the Hall Master from now on?”
“Maybe later,” Yang Xiaotian smiled.
Although he did not know the true strength of Chen Changqing and the other four, as Sword Hall Elders, their strength was undoubtedly strong.
In the future, when it came time to face the Tuoluo Sect, their assistance would be indispensable.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian asked Chen Changqing, “Elder Chen, do you know of any news about other Abnormal Fires?”
Abnormal Fires, Divine Flames, he naturally wouldn’t mind having more of them, the more the merrier.
Chen Changqing, although he studied Abnormal Fires, might still know the whereabouts of other Abnormal Fires.
Chen Changqing was taken aback and said, “I do know, but Hall Master, Abnormal Fires mutually repel each other, and almost no one can control two kinds of Abnormal Fires at the same time.”
Each kind of Abnormal Fire had different powers, and they repelled each other. If one tried to contain two kinds of Abnormal Fires within the body at the same time, it would be extremely dangerous.
If the two Abnormal Fires went out of control, it could lead to backlash from the fires—at best destroying one’s meridians and damaging the Dantian, at worst, death.
Yang Xiaotian, however, smiled and said, “No problem, if I can’t control them, I won’t force it.”
Chen Changqing hesitated for a moment but eventually told Yang Xiaotian the locations of the other three kinds of Abnormal Fires.
Upon learning the whereabouts of three more Abnormal Fires, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.
Others might find it difficult to control two kinds of Abnormal Fires, but he had the Medicine Cauldron, the Primordial Dragon Art, and the Controlling Fire Technique; he was not worried about this issue.
Yang Xiaotian left the Sword Hall, but when he arrived at the outer courtyard, he ran into Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong.
“Yang Xiaotian!” Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again, Cheng Beibei was gnashing her teeth, her eyes shooting fire.
The kick Yang Xiaotian had delivered during the birthday banquet had hurt her for several days.
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Hu Xing and Yang Zhong had different reactions;
Hu Xing was filled with jealousy and murderous intent, while Yang Zhong looked at Yang Xiaotian with a hint of fear.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the raging Cheng Beibei and said indifferently, “I am now the Sword Hall Master. According to the academy rules, you need to salute when you see me.”
“What did you say, you want me to salute you?!” Cheng Beibei instantly yelled like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Hu Xing, however, hesitated for a moment and then bowed to salute, saying, “Greetings, Hall Master.”
“Greetings, Hall Master,” said Yang Zhong, his voice trembling slightly.
Cheng Beibei still glared at Yang Xiaotian with fiery eyes.
She was a princess of the country, and she did not believe that Yang Xiaotian would truly dare to do anything to her.
“That kick during the birthday banquet, has your injury healed?” Yang Xiaotian looked at Cheng Beibei and suddenly asked.
Hearing Yang Xiaotian mention the kick from the birthday banquet, recalling the scene of being kicked away by Yang Xiaotian at the banquet, Cheng Beibei was livid, and she drew her sword impulsively.
Startled, Hu Xing quickly stopped Cheng Beibei.
Cheng Beibei’s previous two sword strikes had both been met with even harder kicks from Yang Xiaotian. If she were to be kicked flying again this time, no one knew how it would end up.
“Hu Xing,” Yang Xiaotian suddenly spoke up, “Deng Yi was sent by you before, right?”
Hearing this, Hu Xing’s eyes flashed with panic and he said, “Hall Master, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Yang Xiaotian didn’t say much more and simply walked away. As he passed by Yang Zhong, he said, “Take care of yourself.”
Yang Zhong didn’t dare look at Yang Xiaotian.
After Yang Xiaotian had left, Cheng Beibei, staring in the direction Yang Xiaotian had gone, angrily declared, “I will return to the Royal City in a few days and report to my father the king, demanding he execute this cur, Yang Xiaotian!”
