Chapter 1098: Chapter 198: Further ahead lies the fierce corpse of the Divine Monarch Realm.
Quickly, Yang Xiaotian saw the assembly square.
From a distance, he could see a gathering of disciples from the Divine Emperor Realm on the square. Many of them were stewards of the various pavilions, and some were even personally taught by the Elders or Ancient Ancestors.
"Is that the new steward from the Book Pavilion?" Lan Ye saw Xiaotian from afar and asked the disciple beside him.
"Yes, he is the new steward recruited by the Book Pavilion," a disciple laughed in response.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaotian had arrived at the square.
At that moment, a disciple standing beside Long Xuan said to Xiaotian, "You’re the new steward from the Book Pavilion, aren’t you? I’ve heard your Martial Dao talent is mediocre, unable to comprehend any Supreme Divine Techniques from the Book Pavilion."
"You don’t know any Supreme Divine Techniques, do you think you are qualified to be the steward of the Book Pavilion?"
All eyes fell on Xiaotian.
Xiaotian glanced at the disciple beside Long Xuan and replied indifferently, "Who told you I can’t comprehend any Supreme Divine Techniques from the Book Pavilion?"
The disciple was taken aback.
With a light laugh, Long Xuan said, "These past days, you have borrowed fifty Supreme Divine Art Secret Manuscripts from the Book Pavilion, changing one every half day. You’re not going to tell us that you’ve comprehended all those fifty manuscripts, are you?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Following suit, Long Zhi jeered, "A mere Divine Emperor Fourfold dares to sign up for the trial in the Netherworld Corpse Sea. Do you even know what kind of place that is? Do you think you can just follow us and sneak by unnoticed?"
"What a joke!"
Xiaotian looked at Long Zhi and simply said, "Idiot!"
Idiot!
Everyone was stunned.
Upon hearing this, Long Zhi, the seventh son of the Long family, flew into a rage, his aura flaring wildly.
However, just as Long Zhi was about to make a move, a group of people flew over from a distance. One of them reprimanded sharply, "What’s going on?"
The newcomers were the Elders from Guiyi Academy, and the one reprimanding Long Zhi was Lv Ming.
This time, with Lv Ming and the other Elders leading Xiaotian and the others into the trial at the Netherworld Corpse Sea, although the place was dangerous, the trial would only take place on the outskirts of the Corpse Sea, making the presence of Elders like Lv Ming sufficient.
Seeing the arrival of Lv Ming and the other Elders, Long Zhi reluctantly stopped his actions. He glared fiercely at Xiaotian, planning to find an opportunity to have a proper exchange with him when they were alone in the Netherworld Corpse Sea.
Lv Ming swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "Now that everyone is here, we will set off for the Netherworld Corpse Sea!" With those words, he brought out a flying ship from Guiyi Academy and entered it with everyone else, heading towards the Netherworld Corpse Sea.
There were over three hundred disciples participating in the trial at the Netherworld Corpse Sea.
Despite the large number, the flying ship was spacious, providing each individual with a large cultivation chamber.
However, just as Xiaotian was about to enter the chamber for cultivation, Lv Ming sought him out and started a conversation, "Li Yuan tells me you have been cultivating Supreme Divine Techniques lately?"
Then he suggested, "Supreme Divine Techniques are difficult to cultivate; have you considered switching to the Top Tier Divine Skills instead?"
Xiaotian was someone he had recruited, and Lv Ming had high hopes for him. He didn’t want to see Xiaotian take a wrong path.
Some people, lacking in talent, persistently delve into Supreme Divine Techniques only to fail at comprehension and descend into madness!
Xiaotian knew Lv Ming cared about him and smiled, "Alright, Elder Lv. If I can’t comprehend the Supreme Divine Techniques, I will consider switching to the Top Tier Divine Skills."
Hearing this, Lv Ming thought Xiaotian had come to his senses and smiled, "Good." He then inquired, "How has your time in the Book Pavilion been lately?"
"Pretty good," Yang Xiaotian smiled.
After chatting for a while, Lv Ming finally departed.
Once Lv Ming had left, Yang Xiaotian continued with his cultivation. However, cultivating Divine Skills would cause too much commotion, so along the way, Yang Xiaotian was ingesting Divine Fruits to cultivate his several Divine Bodies.
On the way, Yang Xiaotian stayed within a secret chamber for his cultivation, so nothing much happened.
One day, while Yang Xiaotian was cultivating in the secret chamber, he heard Lv Ming’s voice rise, "We have arrived at the Netherworld Corpse Sea, all disciples participating in the trial, leave the ship!"
It was then that Yang Xiaotian, along with a group of disciples, emerged from the secret chamber.
Stepping out of the chamber, the weather was fine and sunny.
But ahead, there was an overwhelming Corpse Energy rolling in, with piercing howls reverberating indistinctly.
At the same time, there was a constant booming sound.
It was the ferocious undead attacking the Restrictions.
Lv Ming put away the flying ship with a serious face and said to the disciples, "Once we enter the Netherworld Corpse Sea, everyone must remember not to go deep into the Corpse Sea!"
"You can only undergo trials on the outskirts of the Netherworld Corpse Sea!"
"Otherwise, if you encounter danger, we will not be able to save you!"
The disciples acknowledged his words.
Coming to the edge of the Netherworld Corpse Sea, Lv Ming waved his hands, gathering Runes and infusing them into the barrier ahead. The boundary wall of the restriction glowed and an entrance appeared.
"Everyone, quickly enter!" Lv Ming and a group of Elders led the way in.
Yang Xiaotian and the other disciples trailed behind.
Outside the Restrictions, they hadn’t felt much, but upon entering the Netherworld Corpse Sea, the chilly wind and endless Corpse Energy surprised everyone with the constant, sharp howls of the undead.
At that moment, a figure suddenly burst from the rolling Corpse Energy, lunging at the crowd.
With this figure’s charge, an intense stench of decay assaulted their senses.
The one who lunged at them was a wretched, skinny undead, completely devoid of flesh and blood.
It was said that the Netherworld Corpse Sea in ancient times was an Ancient Battlefield where the Empire Army often battled. Influenced by the cold Corpse Energy, after many years, the ferocious undead were born.
Watching the undead lunge at them, Lv Ming, at the Tenfold Divine Monarch Summit peak, wielded his sword and slew the undead, then said to the disciples, "Now, the trial begins!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples rushed into the rolling Corpse Energy, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of disciples disappeared into the sea of Corpse Energy.
Yang Xiaotian’s main purpose for entering the Netherworld Corpse Sea this time was to search for the Bright Buddha Relic, so he flew straight towards the deeper parts of the Sea. The ferocious undead he encountered along the way were all cleaved by his sword.
If he encountered a large group of undead, he would summon his Sword Domain to forge ahead swiftly.
The strongest of these outer undead were comparable only to the late Divine Emperor Tenfold peak, so he did not need to summon the Domain of the Fifteen Swords; his Heaven and Earth Sword’s Domain was enough to deal with them.
As Yang Xiaotian flew deeper into the Netherworld Corpse Sea, Long Zhi, the seventh young dragon, was killing undead while searching for Yang Xiaotian’s figure. However, what baffled him was that he had just seen Yang Xiaotian heading east, but as he flew eastward, he could not find Yang Xiaotian at all.
In the end, all he encountered were Divine Emperor Tenfold late peak undead, but Yang Xiaotian’s figure was still nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that this kid has gone even deeper?
But beyond this point lie the Divine Monarch Realm’s undead.
How could that kid possibly enter there? 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
