Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Finally Seeing Hundreds of Millions of Yin Ghosts
Not long after Yang Xiaotian had arrived, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and a group of senior officials also made their appearance.
Chen Jing surveyed the crowd and said, “Now that everyone is here, let us set off!”
With those words, he leapt up and landed on the Azure God Academy’s airship.
Everyone rose to their feet and flew onto the airship.
Seeing that everyone was aboard, Chen Jing ordered the airship to be driven, and it broke through the sky and departed.
On the airship, Princess Wan Ning approached Yang Xiaotian and initiated a conversation, “I am Wan Ning, greetings to Young Master Yang.” Then she asked, “Young Master Yang, have we met before?”
After speaking, she gazed at Yang Xiaotian with intense scrutiny.
The surrounding disciples saw the usually proud Princess Wan Ning striking up a conversation with Yang Xiaotian in such a manner and couldn’t help but howl like wolves.
Suddenly, Princess Wan Ning scanned the disciples around her.
Instantly, the howling ceased.
“It’s Princess Wan Ning,” Yang Xiaotian said, fist-palming towards Wan Ning, “Perhaps Princess Wan Ning mistook me for someone else.”
“Mistook you?” Princess Wan Ning looked at Yang Xiaotian skeptically, shaking her head, “No, we must have met somewhere before.”
Donghuang Xiu could only watch her good sister silently, noting her usual pride and her current infatuation.
She stepped forward and said with a smile to Yang Xiaotian, “I didn’t expect Divine Residence to be purchased by Young Master Yang. Wan Ning and I have never seen what Divine Residence looks like, and I was wondering if Young Master Yang would allow us to visit someday?”
Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, “If the two beauties wish to visit Divine Residence, you are welcome anytime.”
Following that, Bai Li also approached, expressing her wish to visit as well.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian was once again surrounded by several beauties, chattering around him like a flock of sparrows, attracting frequent glances from the other disciples.
Meanwhile, Zeng Qianqian stood quietly in the distance, serene as a flower.
However, occasionally, she too glanced at Yang Xiaotian with curiosity in her eyes.
What secrets could Yang Xiaotian possibly have, for him to be able to condense twelve Sword Hearts and have two Divine Elixirs?
Additionally, he had even tamed the world’s number one Abnormal Fire.
And as well, he had purchased the coveted Divine Residence.
One must understand that although her father was the leader of the Zeng Family, even she would find it challenging to acquire the Divine Residence.
She always felt that Yang Xiaotian was shrouded in secrets.
Xie Buhui and Xiao Han, envious and burning with jealousy, watched Yang Xiaotian surrounded by Bai Li, Wan Ning, and Donghuang Xiu.
Unable to contain his jealousy, Xie Buhui was about to step forward when suddenly, Zhou Ming, a disciple of Chen Jing, approached Yang Xiaotian and said, “Xiaotian, my master is looking for you; he has something to say to you.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian felt a great relief and quickly extricated himself from Bai Li, Wan Ning, and Donghuang Xiu, leaving with Zhou Ming.
Zeng Qianqian saw Yang Xiaotian leave with a sweat-drenched appearance and chuckled lightly, blooming like a myriad of flowers.
Chen Jing calling Yang Xiaotian over wasn’t for any pressing matter; it was just to caution him to be careful during the upcoming trial and then to give him a piece of armor, saying, “This armor has been painstakingly crafted by me; wear it.”
Gazing at the armor, Zhou Ming, a disciple of Chen Jing, was filled with envy.
This piece of armor was his master’s most prized creation.
Usually, even as his disciple, he wasn’t even allowed to touch it.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the armor before him and felt a warmth in his heart. He said to Chen Jing with a smile, “Thank you, headmaster. However, I already have a better set of armor.”
“You have a better armor?” Chen Jing was astonished.
Yang Xiaotian nodded; the armor he had obtained from the Abyssal Master was far superior to this Divine Level armor of Chen Jing’s.
Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian explained, “I have a subordinate who is the Clan Leader of the Dwarf Clan, and he crafted an armor for me.”
He couldn’t exactly disclose that his armor was obtained from the Abyssal Master.
Even so, Chen Jing still looked astonished.
One must know, the Dwarf Clan is notorious for its bad temper, and it’s difficult for other races’ experts to get close to them. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotian had managed to bring them under his control.
Since the Dwarf Clan Leader had pledged allegiance to Yang Xiaotian, it meant that the entire Dwarf Clan was now under Yang Xiaotian’s command.
How many Divine Weapons and armors would Yang Xiaotian want in the future?
Chen Jing smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, “It seems that even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to give away this armor anymore.” Then he leaned in closer to Yang Xiaotian and said, “Xiaotian, I have a sword that I want to reforge, but my skills aren’t sufficient. What do you think?”
Yang Xiaotian laughed, “If the dean needs it, after returning from the trial, I’ll have Man Fang take a look for you.”
After all, the other party had given him such a huge pile of Divine Medicine remnants.
Besides, it was just a small matter.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing happily responded, “Good, then I’ll come to your residence after the trial.”
The journey was uneventful.
The space on the flying ship was vast.
There were many courtyards and separate rooms.
Yang Xiaotian, receiving special care, was assigned a very large courtyard.
The Life God Tree, after devouring the pile of Divine Medicine remnants given by Chen Jing, bore the Life God Fruits on time, and they were just ripe enough to be matured.
Yang Xiaotian was delighted, he consumed the Life God Fruit and began cultivating within the courtyard.
As the flying ship approached the Death Sword Tomb, he finally completely assimilated the Life God Fruit.
His vitality surged once more.
And his cultivation level also broke through to the third layer of the Venerable Realm as expected.
“Still one short,” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.
With just one more Life God Fruit, his vitality would reach twenty thousand li.
Then, he would be able to muster his strength and open up all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints at once, and then attract the Heavenly Nectar.
“We are approaching the Death Sword Tomb soon, everyone prepare yourselves!” Li Bi’s voice suddenly spread to every corner of the flying ship, and at once, all the disciples emerged from their secret chambers and courtyards.
Yang Xiaotian stood at the bow looking ahead, only to see black waves rolling in the sky ahead, covering the sun and sky.
Where they were aboard the flying ship, the sun was still shining bright, but at the edge of the sky, no light could be seen at all.
A chilling, hair-raising, and strange wailing noise surged from all around.
The mere sound was enough to cool one’s soul.
Amidst the rolling black waves, indistinct figures were floating.
“It’s the multitudes of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!” Seeing the rolling black waves sweeping towards them, the faces of the many disciples from the academy changed.
Even Bai Li, Zeng Qianqian, and Princess Wan Ning, these core disciples, tightly gripped the swords in their hands and their palms sweated with nervousness as they looked at the millions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls rolling toward them like a black tide.
Everyone’s heart was in their throat.
Yang Xiaotian was also intently watching the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls rolling towards them, this was simply more than the Undying Wraith Army they faced before, and the gathered ghostly energy was too terrifying, like a vast ocean.
If their academy’s people were to charge directly into it, they would probably be instantly devoured.
Yang Xiaotian immediately summoned the Earth Flame and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame.
Suddenly, the flying ship blazed as fiercely as the sun.
All could not help but take notice.
“The Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame!”
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian had also tamed one of the top ten Abnormal Fires, the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, everyone was shocked.
