Chapter 1096: Chapter 196: Shennong Ancestor to Visit Guiyi Continent
As Yang Xiaotian was cultivating the eighth Supreme Divine Technique, Long Zhi in the Sword Pavilion was practicing swordsmanship in the palace that had been arranged for him.
He swayed his sword while asking a few disciples from the academy standing in the distance, "Are you sure that kid is going to sign up for the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial?"
"According to the disciples from the Book Pavilion, the one surnamed Yang is very interested in the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial. He’s been inquiring about it in the past few days and is likely to sign up," a disciple from the academy hurriedly replied from afar.
With a sweep of his sword, Long Zhi stirred up layers of sword waves that rolled incessantly. He let out a cold laugh, "If he really dares to participate, I’ll make him just like this tree."
In the midst of the swirling sword waves, a towering tree in the distance was being continuously chopped away, sending a chaos of wood shavings flying through the air.
Another disciple from the academy jeered, "Almost all participants in the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial this time are disciples above the Divine Emperor’s Tenfold Layer. He, being at the early stage of the Divine Emperor’s Fourfold Layer, also dares to sign up? Is he deludedly dreaming of seizing a top ten spot?"
The group shared a laugh.
Although there were still over twenty days before the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial, almost all those who had signed up so far were disciples above the Divine Emperor’s Tenfold Layer.
A small portion was at the Ninefold.
The rewards for the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial were indeed substantial, but the Netherworld Corpse Sea was too dangerous. Hence, those who signed up were at the Ninefold and Tenfold of the Divine Emperor.
"What has that Yang been doing in the Book Pavilion lately?" Long Zhi casually asked.
"One of them had been looking through materials in the first few days, not sure what he was searching for," one of the academy disciples said, "For the past seven days, it’s said that he’s been cultivating Divine Skills."
"Although he is at the Fourfold Layer of Divine Emperor, he has only just started cultivating the first Divine Skill."
"However, this kid is quite ambitious. He’s been borrowing Supreme Divine Techniques lately, and all of them are some of the hardest within the Book Pavilion to cultivate."
Long Zhi was surprised, "He’s only starting to cultivate the first Divine Skill now?"
"Yes," that disciple chuckled, "He borrows one book a day and swaps for another the next day when he can’t comprehend it. This has been going on for eight consecutive days."
"Continuing like this, he might as well keep going until he has tried every Supreme Divine Art Secret Manuscript in the Book Pavilion," the disciple speculated.
Hearing this, Long Zhi felt relieved.
Initially, seeing that kid named Divine Yang answer 9,999 questions correctly and possessing such profound knowledge, Long Zhi had thought his Martial Dao Talent must also be high. Now, hearing that the other party was unable to comprehend Supreme Divine Techniques, his worries subsided.
After cultivating the eighth Supreme Divine Technique to the Great Accomplishment Realm, Yang Xiaotian did not go to the Book Pavilion immediately the next day to exchange for another Supreme Divine Technique. Instead, he went to the Mission Hall and signed up for the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial.
Since that Long Zhi had also signed up for the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial, in order to set his mind at ease, Yang Xiaotian decided to sign up early as well.
Having signed up for the Netherworld Corpse Sea trial, Yang Xiaotian then returned to the Book Pavilion to exchange for the ninth Supreme Divine Technique.
The more Supreme Divine Techniques he cultivated, the stronger his Life-Bound Talisman would be, so he didn’t mind having an abundance of Supreme Divine Techniques to practice.
Record has it that the Guiyi Ancestor, when he was at the Divine Emperor Realm, cultivated a total of three hundred Supreme Divine Techniques, becoming the person with the most Supreme Divine Techniques cultivated in the Guiyi Continent!
"Three hundred?" Yang Xiaotian pondered.
If one could cultivate all thirty Supreme Divine Techniques to the Peak Extreme Realm, it would be possible to condense a Divine Grade Life-Bound Talisman.
But, it’s very difficult to cultivate Supreme Divine Techniques to the Peak Extreme Realm. If one could cultivate all three hundred Supreme Divine Techniques to the Perfection Realm, it was also possible to condense a Divine Grade Life-Bound Talisman.
The Guiyi Ancestor did exactly that, cultivating all three hundred Supreme Divine Techniques to the Perfection Realm and then condensed a Divine Grade Life-Bound Talisman that dazzled through the ages.
However, Yang Xiaotian was not content with just a Divine Grade Life-Bound Talisman.
He aimed to condense a Life-Bound Talisman that was stronger than the Divine Grade, one that existed only in legends.
Throughout his journey, Yang Xiaotian had cultivated a Divine Elixir, Primordial Heaven Destiny, Primordial Universe Holy Fruit, the Godhood of the King of Primordial Universe, and mastered the ultimate mysteries of 12,960,000 lifetimes, creating one myth after another, and he intended to continue crafting these myths.
Therefore, when the time came, he planned to cultivate a full thousand Supreme Divine Techniques!
And he would bring all one thousand Supreme Divine Techniques to the Perfection Realm!
A thousand techniques!
Now, with just over eighty years left until the Heavenly Path Prohibition weakened, he had, on average, just one month to cultivate each Supreme Divine Technique.
Within that month, he must cultivate one Supreme Divine Technique to the Perfection Realm.
The pressure was immense.
During this period, he also had to cultivate the seven great Divine Bodies to the Twenty-One Layers!
In addition, he needed to enhance his strength to the late peak stage of the Divine Emperor’s ninefold.
The time was truly pressing.
Fortunately, he didn’t need to cultivate the Domain of the Fifteen Swords to the Perfection Realm before breaking through to the Divine Monarch.
Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have enough time!
After registering, Yang Xiaotian left the Mission Hall and headed to the Book Pavilion to continue exchanging for Supreme Divine Art Secret Manuscripts, planning to accelerate his cultivation of the Supreme Divine Techniques.
Apart from a few books on the top shelf of the Book Pavilion, the others were relatively easy to cultivate. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to cultivate two techniques a day.
Thus, he planned to visit the Book Pavilion every morning starting tomorrow, and again in the afternoon.
After deciding, Yang Xiaotian quickened his pace.
Upon reaching the Book Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian didn’t hesitate and continued to exchange for the ninth Supreme Divine Art Secret Manuscript.
In this manner, Yang Xiaotian started to borrow Supreme Divine Art Secret Manuscripts twice a day; once in the morning and once in the afternoon, cultivating one Supreme Divine Technique in the morning, and another in the afternoon.
Moreover, each time he left the Cave Mansion, Yang Xiaotian rushed to the Book Pavilion with the greatest speed.
The more Supreme Divine Techniques he cultivated, the deeper Yang Xiaotian’s understanding of various Divine Skills became.
As for evenings, Yang Xiaotian would consume Divine Fruits to cultivate, enhancing his Divine Bodies and strength.
However, as he continued cultivating, the Heavenly Dao Holy Water on Yang Xiaotian’s body became increasingly scarce, until he was left with just a few sips.
After cultivating thirty Supreme Divine Techniques, Yang Xiaotian left Guiyi Academy and came to his mansion in Bishui City to inquire about the collection of Heavenly Dao Holy Water from the Godslayer King, the Red-Haired Old Demon, and others.
"The Heavenly Dao Holy Water is hard to gather," said the Godslayer King with a bitter smile before adding, "However, the Shennong Hall Master just sent a Divine Talisman informing that the Shennong Ancestor will come to the Guiyi Continent in some days to search for Divine Medicine, and the Shennong Ancestor must certainly have a good amount of Heavenly Dao Holy Water."
"Moreover," the Shennong Hall Master said, "our Ancestor has three Chapters of Shennong which can be used to concoct the Shennong Pill."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s eyes lit up, "The Shennong Pill that can enable a Half-Step Dominator to break through to Dominator?"
"Yes!" The Godslayer King replied with a smile, barely able to contain his excitement, "It’s the Shennong Pill that gives a Half-Step Dominator a chance to break through to Dominator! The Shennong Ancestor has one."
"When will the Shennong Ancestor come to the Guiyi Continent?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
"The Shennong Hall Master said it’ll be in two months," the Godslayer King quickly replied.
In two months, huh? Yang Xiaotian nodded; by the time he entered the Netherworld Corpse Sea for his trial, found the Bright Buddha Relic, and Ms. Meng was able to exert the power of the Dominator Dual Realm, it would be just in time to capture the Shennong Ancestor.
