Yang Xiaotian, upon hearing that there truly was a method to swiftly cultivate Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery, couldn’t help but show great joy on his face, “What method?”
He wanted to cultivate his Supreme Divine Power to the realm of Summit Mastery not just because of today’s Zhang Hao, but mainly because of what Fan Riquan had said; to condense the finest Golden Core, he would need to bring at least ten Supreme Divine Powers to the realm of Summit Mastery!
To condense the top ten finest Golden Cores, he would need to cultivate twenty Supreme Divine Powers to the summit as well.
Although his cultivation speed was fast, to bring twenty Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery would still take at least a decade or two.
He certainly couldn’t just stay stuck at the Martial King Realm and not break through, could he?
Therefore, he had been searching for a method that could speed up the cultivation of Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery.
The Azure Thunder Python, seeing Yang Xiaotian’s happy expression, hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Young Master, a large part of the Supreme Divine Skills you cultivate are related to swordsmanship. If you want to quickly cultivate a Supreme Divine Power of Swordsmanship to Summit Mastery, you would need to find an Innate Sword Spirit.”
Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, “Innate Sword Spirit?”
“Exactly, an Innate Sword Spirit,” the Azure Thunder Python said. “As long as you find an Innate Sword Spirit, refine it, and integrate it into your Supreme Divine Power, it will enhance the divine force of your Swordsmanship Divine Ability.”
“Thus, you can quickly cultivate your Supreme Divine Power to the realm of Summit Mastery.”
“However, Innate Sword Spirits are exceedingly rare, so rare. The birthplace of an Innate Sword Spirit must be a place that is constantly enveloped in Sword Qi and has Innate Spiritual Roots; only then can an Innate Sword Spirit be born.”
A place enveloped in Sword Qi.
A place with Innate Spiritual Roots.
That is to say, both these conditions are indispensable.
Yang Xiaotian frowned.
It seemed that, like the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, the birth conditions of an Innate Sword Spirit were extremely specific, making them exceedingly rare.
“I do know of a place where there might be an Innate Sword Spirit,” the Azure Thunder Python said.
Yang Xiaotian’s spirits lifted, “What place?”
“Black Snow Mountain,” the Azure Thunder Python replied.
Black Snow Mountain!
Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised, “The Black Snow Mountain with the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure?”
“Yes, that very Black Snow Mountain,” the Azure Thunder Python said. “I once entered the depths of Black Snow Mountain and encountered a very strong Sword Array. It was an Innate Sword Formation, full of incredibly dense Innate Sword Qi, and the Innate Spiritual Energy there was also very rich.”
“Although I couldn’t break through the Sword Formation, based on my judgment, an Innate Sword Spirit should have been born inside,” the Azure Thunder Python reminisced.
Black Snow Mountain, huh? Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.
If that’s the case, he would enter Black Snow Mountain in a few days.
He had originally planned to retrieve the Heavenly Dragon Saber Treasure from Black Snow Mountain after the year’s end.
“That Innate Sword Formation, even you couldn’t get in?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
The Azure Thunder Python nodded, his expression serious, “The Innate Sword Qi within that Sword Formation is tremendously terrifying. A hundred years ago, I tried to enter but was blasted out within less than two breaths.”
Blown out in less than two breaths!
“What about with your current strength?” Yang Xiaotian asked. “Could you break in now?”
The Azure Thunder Python shook his head, “Even if my injuries were completely healed, at most, I could only enter the periphery of the Sword Formation, completely unable to break into its deepest part.”
Moreover, the Azure Thunder Python’s injuries had not yet fully healed.
Afterwards, Yang Xiaotian woke up Medicine Cauldron.
Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to enter the deepest part of the Innate Sword Formation, Master Ding immediately slapped the table and said there was no problem.
Having received an affirmative reply from Master Ding, joy swelled in Yang Xiaotian’s heart.
As long as Master Ding said there was no problem, there definitely wouldn’t be any.
After all, if he could withstand the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Flame, then surely the Innate Sword Array’s Sword Qi would pose no issue.
“Xiaotian, do you have any news about the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water?” Medicine Cauldron asked.
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said no.
These days, he had already had people inquiring into the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, but there had been no news whatsoever.
Even single-layered Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water was rare in this world, let alone sixfold.
“If there is no news in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, then send people to inquire in the surrounding imperial kingdoms, or else send someone to the Divine Dragon Empire,” Medicine Cauldron suggested.
It was now in urgent need of sixfold and higher Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
Yang Xiaotian could only give a wry smile; he too wanted to find the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water as soon as possible. With it, Medicine Cauldron would be able to help him tame the Iceflame Qilin, the Super Divine Beast in the Red Moon Forest.
But there was nothing he could do, as there were no leads to any sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
“Hmm, I’ll send someone to the surrounding imperial kingdoms to inquire right away,” Yang Xiaotian said.
Luo Qing had brought his trained Shadow Squad with him this time, and they could come in handy.
However, Yang Xiaotian also acutely felt the insufficiency of his own forces.
Although in the past year he had trained his thousand slaves and their strength was not weak, they were only in the Innate Realm, and not one of them was a Martial King.
A thousand Innate Realm fighters might be impressive in the Divine Sea Country, but they were negligible in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, not to mention in front of the Supreme Sects of the Divine Dragon Empire.
He needed to work hard to foster his own powerbase.
Yang Xiaotian summoned Luo Qing and instructed him to dispatch his subordinates to inquire about the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water in the surrounding imperial kingdoms. In addition, he asked Luo Qing to gather the experts from his former Red Saber Sect.
Though the Red Saber Sect had been destroyed by the Tuoluo Sect, many had escaped, and if these people could be gathered, they could form a significant force.
Understanding Yang Xiaotian’s urgent need to develop his forces, Luo Qing respectfully assured, “Young Master, rest assured, I will do my best to recall the disciples of the Red Saber Sect.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded and then contacted Crown Prince Liu Yuan of the Unparalleled Emperor Kingdom and the legendary Pharmacist Jiang Yu of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom. He asked them to dispatch people to seek out information on the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.
Right now, for the sake of finding the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, he would utilize any available force.
Finding sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water meant he could tame a Super Divine Beast like the Iceflame Qilin, which would effectively add a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse to his side.
So, he had to find the sixfold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water no matter what.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian went nowhere but stayed in the courtyard to practice the Swordsmanship passed down from the Sword Tower and to spend time with his parents.
Although he had comprehended up to the sixth level of the Sword Tower, of the six sets of Swordsmanship, he had only achieved Minor Achievement. Before heading to Black Snow Mountain, he aimed to advance all six sets of Swordsmanship and the reward—the Skywalking Thousand Swords—to the realm of Great Accomplishment.
To heal the Azure Thunder Python’s wounds as quickly as possible, Yang Xiaotian not only fed it a superior Endless Life Pill every day but also had it swallow a mouthful of Tribulation Thunder Water daily.
Under the effects of the Tribulation Thunder Water, the Azure Thunder Python’s healing accelerated significantly. What would have required two or three years for a full recovery now seemed possible within three to four months.
Ten days later.
Spring returned to the land.
It was then that Yang Xiaotian set off for Black Snow Mountain.
This time, Yang Xiaotian didn’t bring anyone with him; the Azure Thunder Python and Medicine Cauldron were sufficient for his needs.
Before leaving, worried he wouldn’t be able to return in time for the monthly assessment, he and Fan Riquan requested leave.
While Yang Xiaotian and the Azure Thunder Python were en route to Black Snow Mountain, another group was also heading there. This group was led by Zhang Hao of the Mohe Divine Sect, accompanied not only by Zhang Hao’s master Chen Lingyun but also several experts from the Mohe Divine Sect.
