Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Sure to Alarm Lord Sword Ancestor
The Young Master of the Ten Swords, the preeminent person of the younger generation with the greatest Sword Dao talent in the Southern Sea.
The Supreme Sword Intent of ten Great Accomplishment Realms, a name that resounded throughout the Azure Dragon Continent.
Many young disciples of the Southern Sea regarded him as an aspiration and a target of their admiration.
Upon the arrival of the Young Master of the Ten Swords, the scene was shaken, and many powerful individuals paid their respects with a deep bow, as a sign of their reverence.
Just at that moment, suddenly, the gates of the mountain opened widely, and a throng of silhouettes surged forth, as a large group of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect’s experts flew out from within the sect.
The person leading them was none other than the Great Elder Lu Chang of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect.
Clearly, the arrival of the Young Master of the Ten Swords had prompted Lu Chang to lead the others in greeting him.
For a disciple coming to participate in the trial, the appearance of the Great Elder of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect as a welcomer was unprecedented, which showed the significant regard the sect held for the Young Master of the Ten Swords.
However, upon seeing the Great Elder Lu Chang coming to greet him, the Young Master of the Ten Swords did not dare to rely on his status and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a fist and palm salute, "Zhang Jun pays his respects to the Great Elder."
Lu Chang let out a chuckle, "Young Master Zhang, no need for such formalities." Then he warmly added, "Young Master Zhang, today I will preside over your trial, how does that sound?"
Generally speaking, for the trial of Inner Sect Disciples, it was sufficient for a Senior Executor to oversee it.
Hearing this, the Young Master of the Ten Swords smiled and said, "For the Great Elder to preside over Zhang Jun’s trial is indeed an honor for me!"
Lu Chang smiled, and then, he flew with the Young Master of the Ten Swords towards the trial grounds for Inner Sect Disciples.
The crowd, upon seeing the Great Elder Lu Chang of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect was going to personally oversee the Young Master of the Ten Swords’ trial, were agitated and excited at the same time.
Everyone was naturally thrilled at the thought of being able to witness the Young Master of the Ten Swords’ Supreme Sword Intent of the Great Accomplishment Realms.
"It’s just uncertain which supreme grade of Godhood the Young Master of the Ten Swords has consolidated."
"I’ve heard it’s the Heavenly Flame Godhood!"
"Heavenly Flame Godhood! A supreme top-tier Godhood!"
The crowd discussed and expressed their amazement.
Supreme Godhood was already rare, let alone a top-tier one within the supreme category.
Seeing the crowd escorting the Young Master of the Ten Swords to the trial grounds, Yang Xiaotian approached a disciple guarding the mountain gate and, with a fist and palm salute, said, "I am Yang Xiaotian, here to pay my respects to Sword Ancestor Hong Feng, and I kindly ask you to pass on my request."
The disciple guarding the gate was stunned, "What? You wish to see Lord Sword Ancestor Hong Feng!"
They thought they had heard wrong.
The Young Master of the Ten Swords and his escorts had not gone far when they heard a young man in blue robes, Yang Xiaotian, requesting to see Lord Sword Ancestor Hong Feng and were taken aback.
The Great Elder Lu Chang of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect and other high-ranking members of the sect were also astonished.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s extraordinary bearing, Lu Chang laughed and said, "My good sir, you seem to be unaware, our Lord Sword Ancestor has been in seclusion, contemplating the supreme Sword Dao for many years, and even our Sect Hierarch hasn’t seen him in all these years."
An escort following the Young Master of the Ten Swords teased Yang Xiaotian with a laugh, "If you were to take part in the Inner Sect Disciple trial and activate a hundred Sword Steles, you would certainly catch the attention of Lord Sword Ancestor."
The crowd shook their heads with a smile.
To participate in the Inner Sect Disciple trial, activating ten Sword Steles would be enough to pass.
Activating twenty Sword Steles was exceedingly rare and could qualify one to become a direct disciple of an Elder.
Thirty steles would allow one to become a direct disciple of a Supreme Elder.
Forty steles, a direct disciple of the old ancestors, and with fifty, one might have the chance to become a direct disciple of the Sect Hierarch.
With the talent of the Young Master of the Ten Swords, activating fifty Sword Steles would not be difficult! But sixty, don’t even think about it.
Not to mention seventy or eighty.
These Sword Steles were personally erected by Sword Ancestor Hong Feng.
Up until now, only one person in the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect has been able to activate sixty Sword Steles, and that is the current Sect Hierarch Luo Huaming.
Even Sect Hierarch Luo Huaming of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect could only activate sixty Sword Steles, let alone a hundred; it’s simply impossible!
"To activate a hundred Sword Steles." Yang Xiaotian looked towards the hundred massive Sword Steles on the assessment square.
Each Sword Stele stood a hundred feet tall, covered with all sorts of swordsmanship runes.
Just as the Ten Sword Sons were approaching the Sword Steles, Yang Xiaotian also came before the Senior Executor responsible for registering the Inner Sect Disciple assessment, to register for the testing.
To participate in the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect Inner Sect Disciple assessment, the conditions weren’t difficult; any warrior within Heavenly God Realm with a bone age of under two thousand years could participate.
It seemed easy, but in fact, it was very difficult. Although the quality of spiritual energy in the Divine Domain was high, cultivating to the Heavenly God Realm within two thousand years was challenging.
Many talented disciples from various families could hardly reach it, even with their family’s resources.
When Yang Xiaotian expressed his wish to register for the assessment, the Senior Executor began to test his bone age.
Very soon, the Stone Mirror used for testing bone age lit up: "Bone Age: Forty-nine."
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s bone age displayed on the Stone Mirror, the Senior Executor frowned, "Bone Age forty-nine?"
Many disciples around them laughed, saying, "Bone Age forty-nine? This guy doesn’t even know if he has broken through the Divine Spirit Realm, and yet he wants to participate in the Inner Sect Disciple assessment."
In the Divine Domain, breaking through the Divine Spirit within a hundred years was already considered an extraordinary talent.
The Senior Executor looked at Yang Xiaotian and asked, "Are you sure you want to participate in our Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect Inner Sect Disciple assessment?"
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
The Senior Executor couldn’t help feeling astonished and then led Yang Xiaotian to the Stone Mirror that tested one’s realm. With his divine power activated, the formation within the Stone Mirror released a pillar of light that enveloped Yang Xiaotian.
Quickly, Yang Xiaotian’s realm was displayed on the Stone Mirror: "Heavenly God Realm, first layer, late phase peak."
"Heavenly God Realm, first layer, late phase peak!" The family disciples, who had just mocked Yang Xiaotian for possibly not having reached the Divine Spirit Realm, widened their eyes in shock, then looked at Yang Xiaotian with faces full of horror.
"Bone Age forty-nine, Heavenly God Realm, first layer, late phase peak!" All the surrounding disciples looked at Yang Xiaotian in amazement.
The Ten Sword Sons who were about to activate the Sword Steles heard the noise here and turned their heads in surprise.
Great Elder Lu Chang of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect was even more shocked, leaving behind the Ten Sword Sons and flying over rapidly, hurrying to the Stone Mirror.
Indeed, the two Stone Mirrors displayed: "Bone Age: Forty-nine, Heavenly God Realm, first layer, late phase peak!"
Lu Chang’s entire body jolted as if he was looking at a terrifying monster when he saw Yang Xiaotian.
He couldn’t understand how this young man had cultivated.
The Ten Sword Sons also reached the Stone Mirror, staring at the two displays with disbelief. He was revered as the number one young talent across the four seas, cultivating for less than a thousand years, and now he was at the peak of the first layer of the Heavenly God Realm, a fact that had already shocked the four seas.
The blue-robed young man in front of them had been cultivating for less than fifty years, and yet he was also at the peak of the first layer of the Heavenly God Realm!
How could this be!
"This is impossible!" A guard behind the Ten Sword Sons said in shock, shaking his head.
They had never heard of someone breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm in less than a hundred years of cultivation, let alone breaking through it in less than fifty years.
Besides, Yang Xiaotian had not just broken through to the Heavenly God Realm but had reached the peak of the first layer’s late phase!
"Isn’t this an even more monstrous talent than Young Master Qianyu?!" someone in the crowd whispered.
Upon the mention of Young Master Qianyu, everyone involuntarily tensed.
Young Master Qianyu, the foremost person among the young generation of the Azure Dragon Continent!
