Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Desolate Continent
Seeing that his Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body had also broken through to the seventeenth level, Yang Xiaotian didn’t immediately undergo the Chaos Divine Tribulation. There were still two years left before the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion assessment.
During these two years, he planned to continue cultivating and tempering his Divine Power, aiming to make a push for the Divine Master Realm when the assessment was near.
After all, the more his strength improved, the better his chances of surviving the Chaos Divine Tribulation would be.
Of course, while cultivating, he could also take this time to search for the remaining six pieces of the Time Divine Stele and to learn about the situation in the Desolate Continent.
The Desolate Continent is the largest continent in the Divine Domain and the continent with the most powerhouses. It’s also home to the highest number of superpowers, said to have ten million Sects!
And even more families!
Almost all the headquarters of prestigious superpowers in the Divine Domain, especially those of the Supreme Chamber of Commerce, are located on the Desolate Continent.
Here, the situation is truly volatile, with countless strong beings abounding.
The Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion is situated at the very center of the Divine Domain!
The Azure Dragon Continent he came from was a hundred times the size of the Zhongtian Continent, but the Desolate Continent was beyond measure compared to the Azure Dragon Continent. At a glance, he could only see the vast expanse, giving Yang Xiaotian the sense that he had arrived at the ancient lands.
According to Master Ding, the Desolate Continent in the Divine Domain was a piece of the ancient lands from the past.
Yang Xiaotian retracted his Abyssal Spaceship and flew forward with Black Master.
Although the Desolate Continent is extremely vast, almost boundless, there are cities everywhere, palaces abound, and towering Divine Mountains are home to numerous Sects.
Yang Xiaotian frequently encountered merchant ships, and they were all massive vessels, their hulls branded with the symbols of various superpowers from the Divine Domain.
After flying for a while, he saw a huge city ahead. Yang Xiaotian descended in front of the city, then he and Black Master entered.
The city was bustling with people coming and going, and the streets were spotless. There were many caravans, and most were traveling in groups, unlike Yang Xiaotian, who was accompanied only by his dog.
Perhaps because Yang Xiaotian was walking with a dog, many people took an extra glance at him.
Of course, Yang Xiaotian’s height of over one meter eighty and his unique, transcendental demeanor also attracted a lot of attention.
All these years had passed, yet Yang Xiaotian was still wearing the blue garment his mother had made for him.
The material might have been extremely fine in the Zhongtian Continent, but upon arriving at the Desolate Continent, it seemed rather low-level.
However, Yang Xiaotian didn’t mind. Passing by a luxurious tavern, he stopped and walked in with Black Master. Once seated, a tavern waiter approached politely and reminded him, "Young Master, the minimum expenditure in our Desolate Ancient Tavern is one thousand Divine Spirit Stones. May I know if you...?"
No wonder the tavern waiter was worried Yang Xiaotian could not afford one thousand Divine Spirit Stones; after all, Yang Xiaotian’s attire didn’t look like that of someone who could pay such an amount.
One thousand Divine Spirit Stones was not a small sum, and many in the Divine Master Realm might not be willing to spend that much to enter the Desolate Ancient Tavern.
Many visitors to the Desolate Ancient Tavern are unaware of this rule, so sometimes waitstaff would remind guests who appeared shabby.
A clan powerhouse at the table next to him smiled at Yang Xiaotian, "Little guy, not everyone can afford the wine of the Desolate Ancient Tavern. Many people come just to sit, smell the wine aroma, and then leave."
Several other powerhouses at his table laughed out loud.
Yang Xiaotian glanced at the man, and from the clothing of his group, it seemed they were direct disciples of the Jun Family from the Desolate Continent.
There might not be a million, but there were definitely tens of thousands of super families on the Desolate Continent.
And the Jun Family, among the many families on the Desolate Continent, could rank in the top ten, undeniably a colossus on the Desolate Continent.
Yang Xiaotian took out a Dragon Saber and placed it on the table, telling the tavern waiter, "If later on I can’t pay for the drinks, I’ll leave this Dragon Saber with you as payment."
This Dragon Saber was the one he had obtained after killing Ancestor Yan.
The Dragon Saber exuded an aura of a Supreme Powerhouse, nearly suffocating both the tavern helpers and those Jun Family disciples with its overwhelming presence.
Whether it was the tavern servers or those Jun Family disciples, all of their faces changed drastically when they felt the terrifying aura of the Dragon Saber.
"Bring me two jars of your finest wine, and also serve a table of dishes to accompany the drinks, only the best. If they aren’t to my taste, I demand a new table of dishes," Yang Xiaotian said.
The tavern helper dared not say another word and hurriedly bowed before departing.
Soon, the tavern served Yang Xiaotian two jars of their best wine and a full table of their finest dishes.
Yang Xiaotian popped the seal on the wine jars, handed one to Black Master, who lay there, drinking with loud gulps.
The gaze of those Jun Family disciples was complicated.
To them, the best wine of the Desolate Ancient Tavern, costing ten thousand Divine Spirit Stones per jar, was a luxury. Usually, when they came, they would order wine which cost one thousand Divine Spirit Stones and share a single jar among several people.
Now a dog was drinking something ten times better than what they usually had.
They felt a bitter taste in their hearts.
The wine of the Desolate Ancient Tavern was brewed with a unique method, and every jar had been aged for years, its flavor rich and mellow. While Yang Xiaotian and Black Master were enjoying their drinks, the discussion of a table of family experts nearby caught his attention.
"I heard that the Young Clan Leader of the Silver Sky Blood Demon has cultivated Chaos Godhood!"
"What, Chaos Godhood!"
"In this assessment of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, the Chaos Godhood of the Silver Sky Blood Demon’s Young Clan Leader will certainly dazzle and amaze everyone. However, among the disciples registered for the assessment, aside from him, I heard there are four others who have also cultivated Divine Divine Godhood!"
"Four others, Divine Divine Godhood!"
"That’s right, one is the Young Clan Leader of the Underworld Demon Sect, another is the Seventh Princess of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, one is a disciple of the Dongsheng Imperial Family, and the last one seems to be called Hong Feng!"
Whether it was the Underworld Demon Sect, the Eternal Divine Kingdom, or the Dongsheng Imperial Family, all were titanic powers of the Divine Domain. However, no one had heard of this Hong Feng before.
"What’s the background of this Hong Feng?"
"Not very clear, but it’s said that his cultivation is just a few thousand years, and he has already reached the late peaks of the First Layer of the Divine King Realm! Moreover, his combat power is unparalleled, extremely astonishing."
"What, just a few thousand years and he’s already at the late peak of the First Layer of the Divine King Realm!"
Everyone was shocked.
Generally, breaking through to the Divine King Realm within twenty thousand years of cultivation in the Divine Domain was already extremely rare, let alone breaking through in just a few thousand years and reaching the late peaks of the First Layer of the Divine King Realm.
Yang Xiaotian quietly listened to the discussions among the people in the tavern.
It seemed his master had also arrived at the Desolate Continent and registered for the disciple assessment of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion.
Due to the large number of participants, the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion had started accepting registrations from disciples of various continents as early as ten years ago.
Later on, Yang Xiaotian called over a server from the tavern, gave him one hundred Divine Spirit Stones, and inquired about the Desolate Continent and the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion.
He also specifically asked about the Master of Time and the Time Divine Stele.
Upon learning that the Dark Forest of the Eternal Divine Kingdom might have the Time Divine Stele, Yang Xiaotian planned to visit the Dark Forest.
"Young master, if you’re going to the Dark Forest, you must be careful," advised the tavern helper, motivated by the one hundred Divine Spirit Stones he received. "Inside the Dark Forest, the Power of Ages is astonishing, and it’s said that the Seventh Princess of the Eternal Divine Kingdom often goes there to cultivate."
"If you encounter the experts of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, you should stay far away. If you offend the Seventh Princess, there’s no one in this world who can save you."
