Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Zhao Ming Didn’t Say He Wanted to Take Me as His Disciple?
The Heaven and Earth Dominator came before Yang Xiaotian, looked at him with admiration, satisfaction, and surprise, "I never expected my Heaven and Earth Divine Sword to be obtained by someone!"
"And to think you not only cultivated the Heaven and Earth Sword Intent but also cultivated the strongest domain of sword—the Heaven and Earth Sword Domain!"
"In that case, you’ve also comprehended the Heaven and Earth Stele?"
Yang Xiaotian bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Mansion Master."
"Very good, very good," laughed the Heaven and Earth Dominator. "However, you will have to change how you address me from now on."
Yang Xiaotian, realizing what his master meant, respectfully said, "Master."
Upon hearing this, the Heaven and Earth Dominator laughed heartily, his laughter filled with immense joy, "Good, how fortunate I am to have such a disciple like you!"
Everyone listening to the Heaven and Earth Dominator taking Yang Xiaotian as his disciple had mixed feelings.
Lin Wei, prostrated on the ground, felt both jealousy and hatred.
"Everyone, please stand up," the Heaven and Earth Dominator said cheerfully to the people around him.
The crowd then stood up.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator, smiling, helped Yang Xiaotian to his feet and said, "Good disciple, come, follow your master to my abode. I have a welcome gift for you."
Yang Xiaotian and the Heaven and Earth Dominator’s figures blinked out of sight before everyone’s eyes.
Sovereign Zhao Ming of the Pale Blood and a group of ancestors also departed through the sky.
In the end, only Lin Wei and a group of Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion disciples remained standing there.
Watching the Heaven and Earth Dominator pulling Yang Xiaotian away, laughing and talking warmly, and then leaving without so much as glancing at himself, Lin Wei couldn’t help but clench his fists tight, his heart full of resentment and hatred.
After all, he was of Chaos Divine Constitution, having cultivated two million Chaos Laws!
Before entering the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, he even fantasized one day gaining the attention of the Heaven and Earth Dominator and eventually taking charge of the Divine Mansion, but now, the Dominator hadn’t even given him a glance, treating him as if he were invisible!
The more Lin Wei thought about it, the more he resented it!
He hated Yang Xiaotian!
If it weren’t for Yang Xiaotian, all of this would have been his.
Hong Feng looked at the disappearing figure of Yang Xiaotian with both comfort and joy.
Eventually, all the disciples dispersed.
Elder Zhang Jingzhi instructed people to tend to the injured Outer Sect disciples. As he watched Lin Wei, whose expression was fluctuating, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
He had guessed some of Lin Wei’s thoughts.
But this was fate.
Lin Wei possessed the Chaos Divine Constitution and should have stunned the Divine Domain, but instead, there appeared an even more monstrous Yang Xiaotian.
Soon, the news of the battle between Yang Xiaotian and Lin Wei spread.
The entire Desolate Continent was shaking.
Whether it was Yang Xiaotian, with the first layer Divine Master’s realm, overwhelmingly defeating Lin Wei, who was at the fourfold Divine King’s realm, or Yang Xiaotian’s terrifyingly large Chaos Divine Constitution and frightening number of Chaos Laws, all of them caused a stir among the powerhouses of the Desolate Continent.
"The four great Defying Heaven Divine Bodies!"
"The ten strongest sword domains, even the divine constitution and laws are so terrifying!"
"It’s said that Yang Xiaotian has received the inheritance of His Majesty the Dominator!"
The battle was the talk of the Desolate Continent everywhere.
Yang Xiaotian was unaware of the outside discussions, as he was sitting in the Heaven and Earth Dominator’s abode at the moment.
The welcome gift the Heaven and Earth Dominator gave him was a hundred draughts of Heavenly Dao Holy Water!
Heavenly Dao Holy Water is extremely rare and hard to find even in the Divine Domain, and a hundred draughts was no small welcome gift.
Yang Xiaotian, needing the Heavenly Dao Holy Water urgently, did not stand on ceremony and accepted it.
Afterward, the Heaven and Earth Dominator pulled Yang Xiaotian aside to inquire about his situation and that of the Desolate Domain.
Listening to Yang Xiaotian talk about the Desolate Domain, the Heaven and Earth Dominator also sighed incessantly.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator heard Yang Xiaotian describe the Desolate Domain and occasionally asked the Dominator some questions, to which the Dominator freely imparted his knowledge.
It was several days later that Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Heaven and Earth Dominator’s abode.
Although it was only a few days, the diligent guidance from the Dominator during that time had been immensely beneficial to Yang Xiaotian.
After leaving the Dominator’s abode, Sovereign Zhao Ming of the Pale Blood immediately reassigned a cultivation spot for Yang Xiaotian, moving his abode to the same area as the venerated ancestors, atop the mountain with the richest spiritual energy.
Moreover, Yang Xiaotian would henceforth enjoy the treatment reserved for ancestors within the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion.
Yang Xiaotian, an Outer Sect Disciple, receiving the treatment of an ancestor was something unprecedented in the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion.
Upon learning of Yang Xiaotian’s treatment, Lin Wei directly demolished his own abode in frustration.
Although he had also enjoyed some special privileges, his were merely on par with the Elders.
Above the Elders were the Supreme Elders, and only above the Supreme Elders were the ancestors.
Yang Xiaotian’s treatment was almost second only to the distinguished ancestors.
"Yang Xiaotian, if not for you, all this would have been mine!"
"It’s all because of you!" Lin Wei roared in rage.
However, shortly thereafter, Sovereign Zhao Ming announced the will of the Dominator that a year later, Yang Xiaotian’s master-apprentice ceremony would be held, and after the ceremony, Yang Xiaotian would become the Young Master of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion.
On hearing the news, Lin Wei glared at the subordinate who reported it with a terrifying look, "Weren’t they saying that one needs to be at least a Divine Emperor to become the Young Master of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion?"
Above the Divine Master was the Divine King, and above the Divine King was the Divine Emperor.
The subordinate dared not look at Lin Wei and hesitated, "The Dominator Majesty’s public explanation is that since Yang Xiaotian possesses the Chaos King Divine Constitution, an unprecedented phenomenon, an exception could be made!"
The Chaos King Divine Constitution?!
Lin Wei, infuriated to the extreme, aggravated his injuries caused by Yang Xiaotian and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Also, just now, a delegate from the Ancestral Lord of the Shocking Heaven Sword Sect inquired whether the Young Clan Leader would wish to become his disciple?" the subordinate hesitated before continuing.
Lin Wei’s eyes widened.
Wasn’t it supposed to be Sovereign Zhao Ming taking him as a disciple? How did it turn to Ancestral Wu Yin of the Shocking Heaven Sword Sect?
Even though Wu Yin was an ancestor, in terms of status, he naturally did not come close to comparing with Zhao Ming, as Zhao Ming was not only a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Dominator but also the acting Master of the Divine Mansion.
"What about Zhao Ming? Zhao Ming didn’t say he wanted to take me as a disciple?" Lin Wei could hardly believe it.
He possessed a Chaos Divine Constitution and had cultivated two million Chaos Laws, yet Zhao Ming did not take him as a disciple!
"Lord Zhao Ming did not mention it," the subordinate replied with his head bowed, his voice growing fainter.
Lin Wei felt as if he had been abandoned by Heaven and Earth.
With such talent, how could Zhao Ming not want him as a disciple?
Why?
Was it because of Yang Xiaotian?
"What about Princess Huang Yan, Chen Cangdong?" Lin Wei took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the anger in his heart.
"The Ancestor of Black Phoenix wants Princess Huang Yan as a disciple, the Giant Ape Ancestor is taking Chen Cangdong as a disciple, and the Great Profound Sword Sect Ancestor is taking Hong Feng as a disciple," the subordinate reported altogether, "Dongfang Ao is going to worship the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger Ancestor as master."
Hearing that even Hong Feng and Dongfang Ao would be disciples of ancestors while he could only worship an ancestor as his master, Lin Wei’s eyes turned bloodshot, and he gnashed his teeth, "Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, you will regret this!"
"I, Lin Wei, will one day make you all regret this!"
He vowed.
"The master-apprentice ceremony, is it? Yang Xiaotian, let’s see if you can even survive until then!"
After Zhao Ming personally arranged an abode for Yang Xiaotian, he told Yang Xiaotian that if he had any issues in the future, he could approach him or directly seek their master for assistance.
Then, he advised Yang Xiaotian to prepare well for the master-apprentice ceremony to be held a year later.
