Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Come with me to see Young Master Yang

With the enhancement of his vitality, Yang Xiaotian’s strength also steadily improved.

Originally at the ninth level of Martial Emperor, Yang Xiaotian steadily broke through to the tenth level.

Yang Xiaotian’s vitality also reached eight thousand li.

Seeing such astonishing effects from the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water of the nine heavens, Yang Xiaotian experienced joy mingled with pain.

It should be known that each gulp of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder Water was a treasure, capable of inflicting serious damage on the Undying Death God with a single gulp, and one less gulp remained with each use.

In the future, it would be difficult for Yang Xiaotian to find more Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder Water.

In addition to practicing the Primordial Dragon Art to enhance his vitality, Yang Xiaotian also spent time every day flipping through the Sky-Stepping Sword Technique, the Ancient Divine Sword Technique, the Subduing Dragon Sword Technique, and the Mahayana Sword Technique.

Having previously destroyed four major sects, he not only obtained their treasuries but also all their martial arts manuals.

However, to go through all the secret tomes and divine skills of the four major sects would take an unknown amount of time, so Yang Xiaotian mainly focused on the most powerful sword techniques of the four sects.

Perhaps due to the condensation of thirteen Sword Hearts, Yang Xiaotian found it extremely easy to comprehend techniques like the Sky-Stepping Sword Technique and the Ancient Divine Sword Technique, almost grasping them at a glance.

During the day, besides practicing swordsmanship, Yang Xiaotian mainly spent time with his family and occasionally offered guidance on their cultivation.

Two years passed, and both his father and mother had broken through to the Innate Realm, stepping into the Martial King Realm.

As for his sister, Yang Ling’er, her improvement was even more astonishing.

Autumn passed, and winter arrived.

Another year deep into winter.

Snow blanketed everything in white.

Yang Xiaotian practiced the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique, Thunderclap Nine Heavens, Azure God Sword Technique, and Thousand Buddha Sword Technique once again on the back mountain, and then reviewed all the sword techniques he had practiced before.

The Burying Heaven Sword Technique, the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, the Skywalking Thousand Swords—all sorts of Supreme Divine Powers were displayed in Yang Xiaotian’s hands.

Towards the end, Yang Xiaotian even mixed the moves of all the sword techniques, one strike being from the Controlling Dragon Sword Technique, and the next from the Skywalking Thousand Swords.

The third strike shifted to a move from the Burying Heaven Sword Technique.

Yang Xiaotian was not confined to any particular form; he was completely immersed in the world of swordsmanship. Each sword technique he wielded came as naturally as if ordained by heaven, without the slightest hint of stiffness or awkwardness.

Through practicing various swordsmanship techniques, Yang Xiaotian gained new insights into swordsmanship.

Only in the evening did Yang Xiaotian stop.

Looking at the snowy world before him, there was now a jade pendant in Yang Xiaotian’s hand—the Heavenly Dragon Pendant that Long Qingxuan had given him in the Red Moon Forest.

This time, he thought he would be able to meet Long Qingxuan upon his return, but Long Jiyi and Long Lan told him that after he left the Divine Dragon Empire the last time, Long Qingxuan was taken away by the Hundred Flowers Sword Saint and was now following the Sword Saint for cultivation.

The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint is one of the two great female sword saints of the Azure God Continent at present, and Yang Xiaotian was happy for Long Qingxuan being able to follow the Sword Saint in cultivation.

“Brother,” at this time, his sister, Yang Ling’er, came up behind Yang Xiaotian and teasingly said, “Thinking of Sister Qingxuan again?”

Yang Xiaotian nodded his head.

Yang Ling’er laughed and said, “Then you could go to the Hundred Flowers Divine Mountain to find Sister Qingxuan.” Then she winked, “I’ve heard that the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect has quite a few male disciples.”

Yang Xiaotian tapped on her forehead, “You little imp.”

Yang Ling’er stuck out her tongue, took Yang Xiaotian’s arm, and said with a laugh, “Mother asked me to come get you. She made your favorite pastries. Let’s go back and eat.”

Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, “All you know is eating, you’ve even gotten chubby since I returned.”

These days his mother, Huang Ying, had been making various pastries for him and his sister almost every day.

The two siblings made their way back to the palace, chatting and laughing all the while.

In just half a month, the New Year would arrive, and Yang Xiaotian planned to spend it with his family before heading to the Myriad Gods Empire to participate in the Azure God Academy’s examination.

The Azure God Academy gathered the most top-notch and monstrous geniuses from hundreds of empires across the Azure God Continent, and Yang Xiaotian too wanted to witness these supreme talents of the various great empires of the Azure God Continent.

Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian would be going to the Azure God Academy after the New Year, Yang Ling’er pouted and said she wanted to go too.

Seeing that his parents also looked forward with anticipation, Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, once he joined the Azure God Academy and everything settled down, he would send Old Meng back to fetch everyone.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was considering his post-New Year trip to the Azure God Academy, the Divine Dragon Empire received some unexpected guests—the Green Lotus Sword Deity himself had arrived!

Besides the Green Lotus Sword Deity, accompanying him was Liu Xingyu, the old ancestor of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect from the Buddha Source Empire.

The return of the Green Lotus Sword Deity soon spread throughout the Divine Dragon Empire, stirring it significantly, as the Green Lotus Sword Deity was the sole sword god powerhouse that the Divine Dragon Empire had ever produced, the absolute glory and pride of the empire.

“I heard that some days ago, Yang Xiaotian made the experts of the Green Lotus Tavern act as enforcers to attack the four great sects, causing the Green Lotus Tavern to lose over a hundred of its high-level experts. This time, Tavern Master Li Hong has invited the Green Lotus Sword Deity to return to take charge for the Green Lotus Tavern!”

“Although the Green Lotus Tavern was founded by Li Dong, he was a direct disciple of the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and the Green Lotus Sword Deity is likely unable to swallow this insult!”

“Could it be that the Green Lotus Sword Deity plans to engage in a great battle with Divine Yang?”

“Between the Green Lotus Sword Deity and that one from Demon Ape Ridge, who is stronger, who is weaker? It seems that even the old ancestor of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect has come this time.”

The powerhouses from various factions within the Divine Dragon Empire speculated.

Meanwhile, inside the grand hall of the Green Lotus Tavern, Liu Xingyu was shaken to his core, staring fixedly at Li Hong: “What did you say? Yang Xiaotian?!”

Seeing Liu Xingyu’s reaction, Li Hong, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and the others felt puzzled.

“Yes, it’s Yang Xiaotian!” Li Hong said: “Somehow Yang Xiaotian has tamed that Demon Ape from Demon Ape Ridge. With the Demon Ape’s power, he has wantonly killed the innocent, forcing our Green Lotus Tavern’s experts to serve as his enforcers to attack the four great sects!”

“He caused our Green Lotus Tavern to lose over a hundred of our top-level experts who were stationed in various locations!”

“We implore the Sword Deity and the Divine Master of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect to take charge for our Green Lotus Tavern!”

Upon hearing Li Hong speak of Yang Xiaotian’s wanton killing, Liu Xingyu was furious, suddenly slamming his palm down and shattering the table: “How audacious! How presumptuous!”

It should be known that Yang Xiaotian was now the new Sect Hierarch of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect! Li Hong actually dared to accuse their Sect Hierarch of wanton killing! Was he seeking death?

Liu Xingyu’s sudden rage startled Li Hong, Li Dong, and the rest significantly.

Li Hong was trembling and at a loss, not understanding why Liu Xingyu suddenly became so furiously enraged.

Even the Green Lotus Sword Deity was deeply surprised; he was a nominal disciple of Divine Master Hong Feng, while Liu Xingyu was the strongest old ancestor of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect on the Azure God Continent—they could be considered old friends. The Green Lotus Sword Deity had rarely seen Liu Xingyu so angry.

“Brother Liu, why are you…?” the Green Lotus Sword Deity couldn’t help but ask with confusion.

Liu Xingyu suppressed his anger and said to the Green Lotus Sword Deity, “Qingxuan, there are some things that I cannot tell you right now.”

Without Yang Xiaotian’s command, he dared not reveal Yang Xiaotian’s identity.

He turned to Li Hong and coldly said, “From now on, whoever dares to disrespect Young Master Yang is disrespecting my Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect!”

“Death without mercy!”

Death without mercy!

Li Hong, Li Dong, and the others couldn’t help but turn pale.

The Green Lotus Sword Deity was even more astonished.

“Qingxuan, you and I will go see Young Master Yang right now,” said Liu Xingyu to the Green Lotus Sword Deity.

“Now?” The Green Lotus Sword Deity glanced at the sky, realizing it was already deep into the night.

“Now!” Liu Xingyu affirmed decisively.
