Invincible Divine Sword-Chapter 293 - Entering the Azure God Cave Mansion
Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Entering the Azure God Cave Mansion
And the sword marks became deeper and deeper.
Blood began to seep out.
Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to circulate the Primordial Dragon Art, covering his body with dragon scales.
With the dragon scales covering him, the Aura of Sword Spirit striking his body only sparked bursts of firelight.
But when Yang Xiaotian reached the mid-mountain, even the Dragon Emperor’s Body couldn’t resist the Aura of Sword Spirit. The dragon scales were shattered one by one, and blood seeped out again.
Yang Xiaotian could only rely on Master Ding to protect him as he continued toward the summit.
Due to the proximity of the Innate Sword Formation near the mountaintop, the Aura of Sword Spirit became even denser, like a turbulent Sword Sea, bombarding Yang Xiaotian incessantly.
If it were the Saint Realm, one would likely find it difficult to advance an inch.
However, no matter how fierce and dense the Aura of Sword Spirit was, it could never shake Master Ding’s Golden Light Shield.
Countless Auras of Sword Spirit bombarded the Golden Light Shield like a rain of arrows, a spectacle that shook the soul.
Yang Xiaotian pressed on rapidly, enduring the assault of the myriad Auras of Sword Spirit.
Since Celestial Burial Mountain would only open for one day, he needed to ascend to the summit quickly, without wasting time.
Under the invincible defense of Master Ding’s Golden Light Shield, half an hour later, Yang Xiaotian finally reached the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain.
Since no one had come to the summit for many years, the Spiritual Energy there was extremely dense. Taking a deep breath, it felt almost like his lungs were going to burst.
If one were to cultivate at this summit for a year and a half, the benefits would be unimaginable.
Although the Aura of Sword Spirit of Celestial Burial Mountain was astounding, it hadn’t damaged a single plant or tree. Therefore, the vegetation was lush at the summit, with Spirit Medicines and Spirit Flowers blooming splendidly, the scenery utterly enchanting.
Yang Xiaotian walked through the lush trees and arrived in front of the Innate Sword Formation.
Up ahead, Sword Qi filled the air.
Sword Qi was everywhere, above and below.
At a glance, the sea of Sword Qi seemed endless.
Looking at the dense Sword Qi of the Sword Formation before him, Yang Xiaotian’s scalp tingled.
He could tell that this Innate Sword Formation was even stronger than the one at Black Snow Mountain back in the day.
Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and stepped into the Innate Sword Formation.
Upon entering the Innate Sword Formation, endless Sword Qi roared towards Yang Xiaotian like a ferocious lion.
Thud, thud, thud!
Billions of Sword Qi bombarded the Golden Light Shield, letting out a thunderous boom.
The blasts were so loud that Yang Xiaotian’s ears buzzed incessantly.
Even with the protection of Master Ding’s Golden Light Shield, the sheer force of the billions of Sword Qi made it extremely difficult for Yang Xiaotian to move.
Yang Xiaotian took steps towards the center of the Innate Sword Formation.
After a while, he could no longer see the way back; all around him was nothing but a sky full of Sword Qi.
Sword Qi everywhere.
For a moment, Yang Xiaotian had an epiphany.
The eight, Nine-Colored Sword Hearts in his chest seemed to be resonating with the omnipresent Sword Qi, starting to emanate dazzling sword light.
After an unknown amount of time,
Yang Xiaotian finally met the first Innate Sword Spirit.
Immediately, he used the Controlling Sword Technique to bind the Innate Sword Spirit, then stored it inside the Medicine Cauldron.
Since Celestial Burial Mountain was open for only one day, there was no time to assimilate the Innate Sword Spirits. Thus, he could only store them in the Medicine Cauldron for later assimilation.
In this manner, Yang Xiaotian continued advancing through the Innate Sword Formation.
Whenever he encountered an Innate Sword Spirit, he used the Controlling Sword Technique to collect them.
After Yang Xiaotian had subdued several Innate Sword Spirits, finally, he saw the legendary Azure God Cave Mansion.
The divine presence of the Azure God Cave Mansion was pervasive, standing in the depths of the Innate Sword Formation, surrounded by a sky full of Sword Qi.
The cave mansion was immensely tall.
Above the great doors, the words “Azure God” were inscribed in ancient script.
Gazing at the Azure God Cave Mansion before him, Yang Xiaotian’s heart throbbed with excitement.
This was the very cave mansion where the Lord of the Azure God Continent had cultivated in bygone years.
Even after a million years, the majesty of the Lord of Azure God still permeated and enveloped the entire continent.
Taking a moment to collect himself, Yang Xiaotian walked to the closed doors and summoned the power of the eighteen Sword Steles.
The eighteen Sword Steles converged behind him.
Under the onslaught of the Sword Steles’ power, the tightly shut doors trembled with light and began to slowly open.
Seeing the power of the Sword Steles open the doors of the Azure God Cave Mansion, Yang Xiaotian’s heart leaped with joy.
The Azure God once said that the power of the eighteen Sword Steles was the key to unlocking the secret treasure of the Heart of Azure God.
Without a doubt, the Heart of Azure God was inside!
Once the doors of the Azure God Cave Mansion were fully open, Yang Xiaotian stepped inside.
Just as Yang Xiaotian entered the Azure God Cave Mansion, somewhere in Celestial Burial Mountain, suddenly, colorful beams of Sword Qi soared into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds.
The students of Celestial Burial Mountain were astonished.
Before long, news spread: “Wei Zongyuan has condensed the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart!”
Celestial Burial Academy was shaken.
The Golden Buddha Sword Heart was also among the strongest Sword Hearts.
Liang Lin, Chen Sha, and others, upon learning that Wei Zongyuan had condensed the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart, were thrilled beyond measure, and they howled to the heavens: “The young master is invincible!”
For someone of Wei Zongyuan’s age to condense the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart was absolutely unprecedented in the Buddha Source Empire.
Wang Qing, upon hearing that Wei Zongyuan had condensed the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart, was also greatly shocked. After a long while, he spoke: “In the decisive battle two months from now, Yang Xiaotian is bound to lose!”
With Wei Zongyuan’s fourteenth-level Martial Soul, ten supreme-grade Golden Cores, the imperturbable Bright King Sword Body cultivated to the tenth layer, and seven Golden Buddha Sword Hearts, who else could be his opponent within the same realm?
While the outside world was aboil with Wei Zongyuan’s condensation of the seventh Golden Buddha Sword Heart, Yang Xiaotian had arrived at the front hall of the Azure God Cave Mansion.
In the front hall of the Azure God Cave Mansion, everything was bathed in golden divine radiance. As Yang Xiaotian entered, the golden divine light coalesced into a hundred yards tall golden deity.
The golden deity before him was also a divine consciousness left by the Azure God in the past.
“Child, you have finally arrived,” the divine consciousness of the Azure God said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.
“Lord Azure God,” Yang Xiaotian responded respectfully.
The Azure God said with a smile, “This Azure God Cave Mansion consists of five palaces. The first palace can only be opened with the power of eighteen Sword Steles.”
“Within the first palace is the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt overjoyed.
That meant the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water was right there in the first front hall where he now stood.
“The second palace requires a Divine Elixir and a million-year-old Soul Ring to open, containing the Azure God Sword and the Azure God Sword Technique.”
“The third palace can only be opened with the fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts and contains the Azure God Suit, including the Hand of Azure God.”
“The fourth palace requires fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates to open, within it lies the Elixir of Azure God.”
“The fifth palace can only be opened with fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits, and therein resides the Heart of Azure God.”
As the divine consciousness of the Azure God spoke these words, it began to dissipate, just as it had all those years ago.
Yang Xiaotian stood there, dumbfounded.
He finally understood what the five conditions mentioned by the Azure God on the Sword Path were.
Divine Elixirs, million-year-old Soul Rings, fourteen Strongest Sword Hearts, fourteen Strongest Heavenly Fates, and fourteen Primordial Holy Fruits!
Only by fulfilling these five conditions could he truly integrate the Heart of Azure God.
Yang Xiaotian was at a loss for words.
These conditions, each one was more insurmountable than the last.
Each one more ruthless than the last!
