Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 318: 318

After making some inquiries, Buddha Youth God and his companions quickly learned that Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor had entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain.

“They entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain?” Buddha Youth God said with a mix of shock and uncertainty, “What are they doing there?”

The first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain is heavily restricted, and even divine spirits die upon entering.

“Sir, now that they have gone there, should we still pursue them?” asked the academy teacher cautiously.

Buddha Youth God shook his head, “Since they’ve entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain, there’s no need for us to continue chasing them.” He then looked around at the students of Buddha Source Academy, “Everyone, complete your tasks first.”

It was a mission-based training for the students of Buddha Source Academy.

The students of Buddha Source Academy naturally didn’t dare to object and respectfully agreed.

Meanwhile, after Yang Xiaotian entered the first peak of Thousand Demon Mountain, he carefully sensed the power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.

Now possessing the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire, he was unusually sensitive to other Divine Flames within a certain range.

Thanks to the protection of the Medicine Cauldron, Yang Xiaotian wasn’t worried about the prohibitions attacking him. After dashing around recklessly and nearing the peak, suddenly, the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire within him stirred.

Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.

It seemed that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was indeed here.

He quickened his pace, heading towards the mountaintop.

However, just as he reached the top, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback to see the sky filled with Sword Qi.

Here, there was also an Innate Sword Formation, just like the one on Celestial Burial Mountain.

Moreover, this Innate Sword Formation seemed to be exactly the same as the one on Celestial Burial Mountain, just slightly less powerful.

But even if it was weaker, it was still strong enough to annihilate divine spirits.

Yang Xiaotian was puzzled. Who had set up this Innate Sword Formation? The Thousand Buddha Medicine God? If it was the doings of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, what was his relation to the Lord of Azure God from the past? How did he come to possess the Innate Sword Formation of the past Azure Lord?

In the midst of his astonishment, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of elation.

The Innate Sword Formation was a disaster for others, but for him, it was all benefits without harm.

If there was an Innate Sword Formation, it was very likely there would also be an Innate Sword Spirit.

At present, although he had congealed nine Sword Hearts, he was still far from the fourteen Sword Hearts. If he were to cultivate normally, he had no idea how long it would take for him to congeal fourteen Sword Hearts.

He was in dire need of an Innate Sword Spirit.

Without delay, Yang Xiaotian stepped into the Innate Sword Formation before him.

Once inside the Innate Sword Formation, a tidal wave of Sword Qi bombarded him. Seeing the furious onslaught of myriad Sword Qi, Yang Xiaotian, no stranger to this scene, ignored it and continued forward, searching for an Innate Sword Spirit.

As he advanced, Yang Xiaotian eventually found the first Innate Sword Spirit.

Without wasting time, he used the Controlling Sword Technique to trap the Innate Sword Spirit and began to refine it.

After congealing nine Sword Hearts, his speed at refining Innate Sword Spirits had increased a lot. In just one day, he had completely refined the Innate Sword Spirit.

Afterward, he continued searching for the next Innate Sword Spirit.

Time passed.

One day after another went by.

Five days later, Yang Xiaotian had finally refined all four Innate Sword Spirits within the Innate Sword Formation and passed through it to arrive at the cave dwelling of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.

The door to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s cave dwelling was locked, and the lock was made of Blackglow Ice.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian directly summoned the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire and used it to melt the Blackglow Ice Lock.

Soon, the Blackglow Ice Lock melted.

Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath and pushed open the doors of the cave dwelling.

As soon as he did, he almost choked on a strong scent of elixirs; he looked and saw that the floor of the great hall was strewn with disordered medicine bottles.

In a corner, there were many discarded elixir residues.

The strong scent of the elixirs had been emanating from those residues.

Yang Xiaotian stepped forward to inspect the pile of elixir residues and was quite astonished because the pile consisted of residues from failed attempts to refine divine-grade elixirs.

Even the residues of ordinary holy-grade elixirs had significant uses, let alone those of divine-grade elixirs.

In the process of refining divine-grade elixirs, the ingredients used were all divine substances, and even the residues contained many of the powerful medicinal properties of these substances.

Although they couldn’t be consumed directly, they could serve as fertilizer to nurture Divine Trees, with miraculous effects.

Yang Xiaotian collected all the elixir residues.

If he found a Divine Tree in the future, these residues would be extremely useful.

After collecting the mountainous pile of elixir residues, Yang Xiaotian began searching the grand hall, to see if he could find any divine-grade elixirs.

Divine-grade elixirs were not something that even the top holy pills could compare to; no amount of top holy pills could equal the value of a single divine-grade elixir.

In places like the Divine Dragon Empire, no divine-grade elixirs had appeared for hundreds of years.

However, to Yang Xiaotian’s disappointment, after rummaging through every corner of the grand hall, he found no trace of divine-grade elixirs.

Yang Xiaotian could only proceed to the entrance of the second chamber.

When he approached the entrance of the second chamber, the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire within him became even more agitated, clearly indicating that the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was inside this chamber.

The doors of the second chamber were also tightly closed; however, they were not locked with Blackglow Ice Lock. Instead, the doors were covered with various profound runes of a grand array.

These runes of the grand array shone and rotated, forming an invisible force. When Yang Xiaotian touched the door, he was repelled by this invisible force.

When Yang Xiaotian tried to use his True Yuan to blast the doors open, he was sent stumbling backward, nearly flying out of the hall.

In the end, he had no choice but to seek help from the Medicine Cauldron.

“A single mouthful of nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water!” the Medicine Cauldron said.

Seeing Master Ding taking advantage of the situation, Yang Xiaotian was speechless.

However, in comparison to subduing one of the ten great divine flames, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, a single mouthful of nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water was still worth it.

Yang Xiaotian gave the Medicine Cauldron a mouthful of nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.

The Medicine Cauldron shone brightly with golden light, striking the doors with layers upon layers of golden radiance.

Instantly, the doors blasted open.

Inside the second chamber, a mass of golden divine fire was suspended in the air, surrounded by a thousand Golden Buddha Shadows. The thousand Golden Buddha Shadows revolved endlessly around the divine fire.

Power much more terrifying than that of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire came crashing down towards Yang Xiaotian like a storm.

Thud!

It was as if the heavens and the earth had turned upside down.

Even with the protection of the Medicine Cauldron’s power, Yang Xiaotian was almost blown away.

Shocked, Yang Xiaotian quickly deployed the Controlling Fire Technique, attempting to restrain the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, but the force of its assault far exceeded his expectations, and he couldn’t contain it at all.

In the end, it was only after the Medicine Cauldron emitted a beam of light, enveloping the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire, that it was subdued.

Even so, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire continued to pound furiously, shaking the earth to its core.

The entire ground of the peak of Thousand Demon Mountain trembled violently.

Even the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, standing guard outside, was trembling with fear.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian continuously deployed the Controlling Fire Technique, casting Fire Runes into the midst of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.

Back when he subdued the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire, a few hours of integrating the Fire Runes of the Controlling Fire Technique had calmed the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire. However, the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire was much more difficult to tame than Yang Xiaotian had expected. Even after a day, it remained violently tumultuous.
