Chapter 988: Chapter 988: It’s Already 7 Years
Within the grand hall, numerous Chaos Spirit Veins were suspended in midair.
There were as many as ten!
The ten Lower Grade Chaos Spirit Veins connected head to tail, forming a Chaos Great Array that spiraled ceaselessly within the hall’s airspace. Each revolution set off waves of Chaos Spiritual Qi.
It was these astonishing waves of Chaos Spiritual Qi that had just made Yang Xiaotian step back.
Initially, Yang Xiaotian had thought that it would be impressive for the Chaos Grand Hall to contain a few Chaos Spirit Veins; he never expected there to be ten.
At that moment, Master Ding spoke, "This is merely the outer hall."
Outer hall!
That meant there was an inner hall!
If the outer hall already contained ten Lower Grade Chaos Spirit Veins, then what about the inner hall?
Middle Grade Chaos Spirit Veins! Perhaps even High Grade Chaos Spirit Veins!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotian’s heart raced.
Without delay, Yang Xiaotian approached the ten Lower Grade Chaos Spirit Veins, beginning to collect them.
The Godslayer King and others also intended to step forward and help Yang Xiaotian with the collection, but were all repulsed by the prohibitive power surrounding the spirit veins. Clearly, these restrictions were laid by the Origin Daoist himself, and only Chaos Divine Power would be able to break the restrictions and retrieve the Chaos Spirit Veins.
In no time, Yang Xiaotian successfully collected the ten Lower Grade Chaos Spirit Veins, and then he soared to the end of the outer hall and arrived in front of the inner hall’s gate.
However, when he attempted to push the gate open, he found it completely immovable, even as he activated his Chaos Godhood and Chaos Divine Body.
Yang Xiaotian was dumbfounded.
"The prohibitive power of the Chaos restrictions in the inner hall is much stronger. To open it, you must at least make a breakthrough to the Divine Emperor Realm, and your Chaos Divine Body must reach the twentyfold layer," Master Ding said untimely.
Divine Emperor Realm!
And twenty layers of the Chaos Divine Body.
Yang Xiaotian’s forehead creased with lines.
His excitement had been premature.
"With your current speed of cultivation, if you have enough Chaos Spirit Veins, you’ll be able to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm soon," Master Ding said. "Then you can come back to open this Chaos inner hall."
Yang Xiaotian nodded; he could only accept this for now.
Departing from the Chaos Grand Hall, Yang Xiaotian and his companions went straight for the main hall of the Origin Palace. After reaching the main hall, Yang Xiaotian activated the Origin Divine Body to open it.
Inside the main hall was a secret chamber, within which lay several journals left by the Origin Daoist, and nothing else. At the center of the main hall stood the Great Array that Master Ding had spoken of, the one capable of accelerating the flow of time.
Yang Xiaotian took out a Lower Grade Chaos Spirit Vein and placed it within the eye of the Great Array. Instantly, the patterns of the array glowed brightly, and streams of time spilled out from the array’s focal point, filling the entire space of the Great Array.
The passage of time within the entire array space started to change, becoming something different.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian entered the array and began to cultivate.
As the power of the array protected him, Yang Xiaotian didn’t need guards for his cultivation, so he told the Godslayer King and the six others to try their luck in the Origin Palace; there was no need to stay and guard him.
Reaching the center of the array, Yang Xiaotian took out the forty million-year Black Forest Ginseng from the black box, intending to refine the four forty-million-year Divine Medicines first, and if there was time, to then refine the thirty-million-year ones.
Yang Xiaotian immediately swallowed the Black Forest Ginseng.
The Black Forest Ginseng transformed into a torrent of frenzied medicinal power, which surged towards every part of Yang Xiaotian’s body, causing him to visually swell at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Although Yang Xiaotian had anticipated that the divine medicine of forty million years would have astonishing potency, the sheer strength of the medicinal power still exceeded his expectations. Hurriedly, he circulated his four major Cultivation Techniques, continuously refining the medicinal power of the Black Forest Ginseng.
After his breakthrough to the Divine King Realm, Yang Xiaotian had been persistently consuming several major Divine Fruits for cultivation, but the improvement in his cultivation was still slow. Now, as the medicinal power of the Black Forest Ginseng transformed into Godhood Power, he could clearly feel his cultivation growing day by day.
Even with his two Great Chaos King Divine Frames and the simultaneous operation of his four major Cultivation Techniques, it took Yang Xiaotian three and a half years to fully refine the medicinal power of the Black Forest Ginseng.
Having refined the Black Forest Ginseng, he barely managed to break through to the second layer of the Divine King Realm.
Seeing that refining the Black Forest Ginseng only barely allowed him to break through to the second layer of the Divine King Realm, Yang Xiaotian’s brow furrowed slightly.
A single forty million-year divine medicine had only enabled him to advance by one minor realm, which was somewhat unsatisfactory.
If it were any other Divine King powerhouse, they might have been able to break through directly to the fourth or even fifth layer of the Divine King Realm!
The higher the realm, the more Yang Xiaotian felt the terrifying amount of energy needed by his two Great Chaos King Divine Frames.
If this continued, by the time he reached the Divine Emperor Realm, wouldn’t he need a fifty million-year God Medicine?
But, there was no fifty million-year God Medicine in the Divine Domain.
Yang Xiaotian composed his mind and took out the second forty million-year God Medicine to begin cultivating. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
This second forty million-year God Medicine was obtained from the four members of the Silver Sky Blood Demon Clan’s Ancestor Hui, after he had slain them. This Divine Medicine’s potency was somewhat weaker than that of the Black Forest Ginseng.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian managed to fully refine it in less than three and a half years.
However, after refining the second forty million-year God Medicine, he had only advanced to the late peak of the second layer of the Divine King Realm, without even breaking through to the third layer.
Yang Xiaotian, without pausing, continued to refine the forty million-year God Medicine given to him by the Kaitian Dominator.
After refining that, he finally began to refine the one given to him by his mentor, the Heaven and Earth Dominator.
Fortunately, the two Divine Medicines given by the Kaitian Dominator and the Heaven and Earth Dominator were of good potency, significantly better than the one from Ancestor Hui’s four, which allowed Yang Xiaotian’s strength to soar dramatically, breaking through all the way to the late peak of the fourth layer of the Divine King Realm.
At this moment, fourteen years had passed inside the formation, while seven years had elapsed outside.
Only half a year remained before the battle on Heavenly Dao Mountain.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian could only stop there. After all, he had to return to the Desolate Continent, then meet up with his mentor and others, and head to Heavenly Dao Mountain.
Heavenly Dao Mountain was not close by; it would take three to four months to travel there in advance.
Yang Xiaotian stepped out of the Grand Array.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian emerge, Godslayer King and the others came to greet him.
During the years Yang Xiaotian spent cultivating, Godslayer King and the others had also toured the Origin Palace, finding many treasures.
Through talking to Godslayer King and others, Yang Xiaotian learned that Duobao Venerable, Chen Keying, and others had left a few years earlier. After all, there was much business to be handled by the Duobao Commerce Association, and they could not stay in the Origin Palace for an extended period.
"Miss Chen said that when the battle on Heavenly Dao Mountain begins, she and Lord Duobao will go there to support you," Godslayer King said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile.
The Red-Haired Old Demon laughed, "Originally, Miss Chen insisted on waiting here for the young master to come out, but she was pulled away by Lord Duobao."
"This Origin Palace truly holds no shortage of treasures; however, there are several palaces we could not open. It’s likely that only your Origin Divine Body and Chaos Divine Body will be able to do so," said the leader of the Four Demon Elders of the Ghost Witch Sect.
Upon hearing this, a thought struck Yang Xiaotian, and he asked them to lead him there.
Arriving at one of the palaces, Yang Xiaotian looked at the Great Array Prohibition on the palace and began to activate the power of his Origin Divine Body. As he pushed open the grand doors, he saw that the palace was filled with Origin Divine Fruits.
He had previously obtained more than one thousand three hundred Origin Divine Fruits in the Chaos Demon Lord’s Cave Mansion, but there were even more here!
