Chapter 981: Chapter 981 Gui Rong and Han Tianrong
In the Main Hall of the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, laughter filled the air continuously.
The Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion and Kaitian Academy had thawed previous grievances, the high-ranking members of both powerful forces engaging in a merry exchange of toasts.
It was only Wu Yin and Bai Liu who sat there, their mouths as if stuffed with flies, not uttering a single word.
The two looked at Xiaotian, seated at the head of the table, with an urge to crush something in vexation.
The banquet continued until late into the night before it ended.
Yang Xiaotian returned to his cave dwelling and continued to sit cross-legged on the Chaos Spirit Stone, consuming the four Divine Fruits to cultivate.
The Kaitian Dominator stayed in the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion for half a month.
During that half month, he visited Xiaotian’s cave daily for a short chat, discussing Master Liang Li, founder of Kaitian Academy, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither, and a world refreshed by spring—a place where heaven meets earth.
Upon learning that Xiaotian had obtained his legacy from Master Liang Li in the Dark Forest, the Kaitian Dominator was somewhat sentimental.
After half a month had passed, the Kaitian Dominator finally departed.
Upon leaving, he left Xiaotian with a forty-million-year Divine Medicine, personally from his own collection.
And he told Xiaotian that whatever the issue, he could command him and Kaitian Academy.
Xiaotian accepted the forty-million-year Divine Medicine, given his urgent need to enhance his strength.
At the same time, he asked the Kaitian Dominator to help him gather information about the Chaos Divine Fire.
The Kaitian Dominator was surprised to hear that Xiaotian was seeking information on the Chaos Divine Fire but did not ask further. He agreed and said, "Junior brother, rest assured, I will have the Kaitian Academy fully investigate. As soon as there is news, I will inform you."
Then, with Xiaotian and a group of experts from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion seeing him off, the Kaitian Dominator led his followers away.
After sending off the Kaitian Dominator, the Heaven and Earth Dominator did not return to his own cave dwelling; instead, he came to Xiaotian’s dwelling with Zhao Ming and also gave Xiaotian a forty-million-year Divine Medicine.
"Master, with your impending great battle against the Food God Ancestor, this forty-million-year Divine Medicine..." Xiaotian began rejecting it when the Heaven and Earth Dominator shook his head and said, "This forty-million-year Divine Medicine is not of much use to me."
"Besides, to win against Shi Tianlong, I do not need to rely on this forty-million-year Divine Medicine."
"There is no need for courtesy between us, master and disciple. Accept it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaotian accepted the forty-million-year Divine Medicine: "Thank you, Master."
Afterward, the Heaven and Earth Dominator, Zhao Ming, and Xiaotian discussed the battle on the Heavenly Dao Mountain that was to take place in ten years.
"Although you’ve seized the title of number one in the Divine Domain, it’s still going to be difficult to beat Xiao Haifeng from the Chaos Domain," the Heaven and Earth Dominator earnestly advised. "You need to diligently cultivate over these ten years."
With Xiaotian’s current strength, he could defeat Xiao Haifeng as he was thirty thousand years ago, but that was the Xiao Haifeng of thirty thousand years past. With Xiao Haifeng’s astounding talent and his Two Top Tier Chaos Godhoods, he would definitely have reached a shocking state after thirty thousand years.
"Based on Master and Senior Brother’s estimation, to what realm must I break through in order to defeat Xiao Haifeng?" Xiaotian asked.
"Thirty thousand years ago, Xiao Haifeng was already at the late peak of the Ten Layers of the Divine King. With his talent, I fear he is already at the Seventh or even Eighth Level of the Divine Emperor!" the Heaven and Earth Dominator guessed after some thought.
Divine Emperor Seventh Level, even Eighth Level!
Xiaotian’s heart sank.
The Seventh Level of the Divine Emperor was an important watershed. Once someone broke through to the Seventh Level, their strength would undergo an earth-shattering transformation, not to mention the Eighth Level.
If Xiao Haifeng had broken through to the Eighth Level of the Divine Emperor, his strength would be immensely powerful, far surpassing that of the Child of Burying God.
"This is just our speculation," said Zhao Ming. "If Xiao Haifeng has come across a heaven-defying opportunity these years, he may well be beyond the Eighth Level of the Divine Emperor."
Not just at the Eightfold Divine Emperor level!
Yang Xiaotian’s eyes narrowed.
"Besides Xiao Haifeng, the All-Evil Eyes of the Son of Chaos are also extremely terrifying, you must be careful," Zhao Ming said with a grave expression.
Thinking of the many legends surrounding the All-Evil Eyes, Yang Xiaotian nodded.
"Additionally, this time the Hell Ghost Domain and the Boundless Demon Domain have unholy characters emerge," Zhao Ming continued, "The Netherworld Ghost Gate disciple from the Hell Ghost Domain is born with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body!"
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body!" Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body, along with the All-Evil Eyes of the Son of Chaos, had a notorious reputation; it was one of the most fearsome special physiques in the Hell Ghost Domain. Throughout the countless years of the Hell Ghost Domain’s existence, there had only been one instance of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body. The former Lord of Hell was the possessor of this physique, and it was with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body that he secured his position as the Supreme Overlord of Hell.
"Indeed, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body," Zhao Ming said solemnly, "He is called Gui Rong!"
"He was originally a disciple of the Yama Ghost Tribe, later passing the examination to join the Netherworld Ghost Gate, where he awakened the Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body. Now, as a disciple of the Ancestor of the Netherworld Ghost Gate, and with the Ancestor’s full support in his training, he has cultivated his Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body to an alarming level, and he may have already reached the Ten Hells Realm!"
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body could contain the ten greatest supreme hells, with each awakened hell increasing its power. The Ten Hells represented the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Prison Body.
"Ten Hells Realm!" Yang Xiaotian frowned.
"The Supreme Holy Demon Sect of the Boundless Demon Domain has a disciple with an Immortal Demon Body," Zhao Ming said, "His name is Han Tianrong, and his talent and combat strength are not inferior to Gui Rong. Some say he has received the inheritance of the Desolate Demon Ancestor!"
"He received the inheritance of the Desolate Demon Ancestor!" Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.
"Yes," Zhao Ming replied.
After that, the Heaven and Earth Dominator and Zhao Ming discussed other monstrous geniuses that had appeared in the Four Domains.
However, while the other geniuses were daunting, they fell somewhat short when compared to Xiao Haifeng and the others.
An hour later, the Heaven and Earth Dominator and Zhao Ming left, telling Yang Xiaotian to focus solely on his cultivation without worrying about anything else.
After the two from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion had left, Yang Xiaotian planned to go into deep seclusion. Now, he had to put forth all his effort to first cultivate his five Divine Bodies to the Nineteen Layers, then to transcend the Heavenly Dao Tribulation and attain the realm of Divine King.
He must claim the first place in the upcoming battle at Heaven Dao Mountain!
His aim for the top spot wasn’t just for the reward that came with winning the Heaven Dao Mountain contest.
"Master Ding, is there a way to swiftly improve my master’s strength?" Yang Xiaotian asked before entering seclusion.
"It is very difficult to improve strength in a short amount of time at the Domination Realm," Master Ding shook his head, "At least, no such treasure exists in the Divine Domain."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to abandon the thought.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian’s life consisted solely of cultivating within his cavern abode.
Previously, he would consume four Divine Fruits at night for cultivation and peruse the books of the Chaos Demon Lord during the day, but now he took the four Divine Fruits for his cultivation both night and day.
While Yang Xiaotian was tirelessly consuming the four Divine Fruits day and night, the Daojue Bone Demon returned to the depths of Burying God Cliff with the Child of Burying God.
Due to the Daojue Bone Demon’s treatment along the way, the Child of Burying God’s life was saved, but he remained in a severely injured coma.
"Master, the Young Master was defeated by Yang Xiaotian and failed the battle in the Divine Domain, please punish us!" the Daojue Bone Demon kneeled and beseeched.
"That’s alright," came an authoritative voice from the depths of Burying God Cliff, "When the time comes, I’ll give him a new face, and he can still participate in the battle at Heaven Dao Mountain."
"His recent defeat to Yang Xiaotian and brush with death may actually serve to awaken a mysterious power of death within him!"
"He will turn this misfortune into a blessing! His cultivation will surge within ten years!"
