Invincible Divine Sword

However, no matter how the Nine Sha Hall blocked the area, a month passed, and they still had not found any trace of Yang Xiaotian.

This result drove the Master of the Nine Sha Hall crazy. He glared at the elder ancestor, "Didn't you say Yang Xiaotian couldn't possibly escape?"

The elder ancestor was so frightened that he directly knelt on the ground, "Hall Master, Yang Xiaotian must still be hiding somewhere. As long as we keep searching, we will definitely find him."

He was about to say more but was struck in the chest by a palm from the Master of the Nine Sha Hall and sent flying.

"Considering your years of service to the Nine Sha Hall, I'll give you another month. If you still can't find Yang Xiaotian in a month, I'll take your life!" the Nine Sha Hall Master shouted angrily.

The elder ancestor spat out a heavy mouthful of blood, hurriedly kowtowed to thank the Nine Sha Hall Master, and then left, utilizing all his strength to search for Yang Xiaotian.

But no matter how the Nine Sha Hall searched, it was destined they would never find Yang Xiaotian.

Because by this time, Yang Xiaotian had already left the Xingluo Empire.

After leaving the Xingluo Empire, Yang Xiaotian piloted the ship towards Blood Soul Mountain.

That was the final battleground of Emperor Kaiyuan back then.

He wanted to see if he could find the broken half of the Kaiyuan Sword's blade.

In the ship, Yang Xiaotian was looking through the dozens of maps of the Three Purities Continent he had purchased before leaving.

Considering the changes in the landscape, Yang Xiaotian not only bought current maps of the Three Purities Continent but also ones from a million years ago.

By comparing them, it was easier to find the star map location contained in the Star Robe Sword Art.

However, after much research and comparison, Yang Xiaotian still couldn't find the location indicated by the star map.

Could it be that this star map location isn't on the Three Purities Continent?

This is not impossible either.

If the expert who left the Star Robe Sword Stone wasn't from the Three Purity Continents, then the location the star map indicates should be on another continent.

Unable to find the star map's location, Yang Xiaotian had to set the matter aside for the time being.

On his way to Blood Soul Mountain, when passing through some uninhabited mountain ranges, he would occasionally stop to refine Great Saint Pills.

After integrating the Dao Holy Flame purchased at the auction, his Chaos Xuanming Divine Fire successfully transformed into Chaos Holy Fire.

With two Chaos Holy Fires, he could now refine Eight Tribulation Heavenly Grade Great Saint Pills.

With these Eight Tribulation Heavenly Grade Great Saint Pills, the holy fruit grown by several holy trees was much more effective, and Yang Xiaotian persistently consumed several holy fruits for cultivation, bringing his cultivation increasingly closer to the Fifth Layer of the Saint Realm.

Even without the Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine, within a year, he could break through to the Fifth Layer of the Saint Realm.

The only question was whether he could break through to the Tenth Layer of the Saint Realm before the next assessment.

Yang Xiaotian wanted to join Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus before the next assessment of the Hongmeng Academy.

At that time, he would directly participate in the Main Campus's assessment.

The first place in the Main Campus's assessment has much higher rewards than those of various branch campuses.

For instance, at the Heavenly Fire Branch Campus, the first place for Outer Sect Disciples of the Saint Realm only receives a Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine as a reward, but the Main Campus of the Hongmeng Academy rewards a Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine.

Furthermore, the first place in the assessment can contemplate a Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique from the Sword Path in the collection of the Main Campus of the Hongmeng Academy.

Blood Soul Mountain was far from the Star Robe Empire, and after a long two-month journey with the Tribulation Dragon Flying Ship pushed to its limits, Yang Xiaotian finally arrived at Blood Soul Mountain.

Upon arriving at Blood Soul Mountain, Yang Xiaotian was truly speechless about the snail's pace of the Tribulation Dragon Flying Ship.

Hopefully, he could find the other half of the Kaiyuan Sword's blade this time and then find the Light of Kaiyuan, otherwise traveling was truly inconvenient.

Now traveling between empires on the Three Pure Continents was already troublesome; if he were to traverse continents in the future without a good ship, it would be even more troublesome.

Yang Xiaotian gazed at Blood Soul Mountain.

Blood Soul Mountain, with its continuous peaks, was shrouded in a faint blood mist.

Before the final battle of Emperor Kaiyuan, this was the breeding ground of the Blood Soul Tribe.

Devastated by the power of Emperor Kaiyuan's decisive battle, the Blood Soul Tribe was almost wiped out. However, after a million years of recuperation, the Blood Soul Tribe not only recovered but also became stronger than before. Now, the Blood Soul Tribe is one of the most powerful tribes on the Three Pure Continents.

It was due to the influence of the Blood Soul Power of the Blood Soul Tribe that the entire Blood Soul Mountain was shrouded in blood mist all year round.

Yang Xiaotian put away his ship and cautiously approached Blood Soul Mountain, using the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique while also activating the broken Kaiyuan Sword, sensing the other half of the blade.

Although the Kaiyuan Sword was broken, as long as it was within several miles, he should be able to sense the other half of the blade.

However, just as Yang Xiaotian arrived at Blood Soul Mountain and had been searching for a while, he saw a group of Blood Soul Tribe disciples flying over from afar.

"The clan leader actually plucked the Blood Soul Holy Fruit from the forbidden land; I wonder who they are preparing to entertain so grandly this time?" one Blood Soul Tribe disciple said.

Another Blood Soul Tribe disciple lowered his voice, "I heard they're preparing to entertain an important figure of the White Night Demon Clan!"

"What, an important figure of the White Night Demon Clan is coming?!" The other Blood Soul Tribe disciples were all shocked.

While discussing, the group of Blood Demon Clan disciples flew away.

Watching this group of departing Blood Demon Clan disciples, Yang Xiaotian was surprised and suspicious. An important figure from the White Night Demon Clan was coming to the Blood Soul Tribe? What secret plans were they hatching?

Surely the White Night Demon Clan had some conspiracy with the Blood Soul Tribe; otherwise, they wouldn't send an important figure to the Blood Soul Tribe.

However, he had to quickly find the other half of the Kaiyuan Sword's blade; otherwise, if the masters of the White Night Demon Clan arrived, the Blood Soul Tribe might lock down even the outer perimeter of Blood Soul Mountain.

Yang Xiaotian quickened his pace.

Yet, after searching more than a dozen peaks, Yang Xiaotian still hadn't found the other half of the blade.

Night had grown deeper.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to continue searching, suddenly, several astonishing demon's auras drifted over from afar and in the blink of an eye arrived near Yang Xiaotian.

At the same time, within Blood Demon Mountain, emerged a large group of highly skilled individuals, precisely sent to welcome the White Night Demon Clan's figures by the Blood Demon Clan's leadership.

"Xiao, my old friend! How have you been?" laughed the leading expert of the Blood Demon Clan, clasping his fists.

"Still going strong!" replied the expert of the White Night Demon Clan with a smile.

As luck would have it, the two groups stopped not far from Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian tensed up completely.

Fortunately, neither group lingered too long, and after some polite exchanges, the experts from both the Blood Demon Clan and the White Night Demon Clan entered Blood Demon Mountain at the invitation of the Blood Demon Clan experts.

Once both groups had completely disappeared from sight, Yang Xiaotian emerged, looking in the direction the Blood Demon Clan and the White Night Demon Clan experts had left, with curiosity in his eyes. The White Night Demon Clan expert with the surname Xiao had seemingly mentioned Hongmeng Academy in conversation with the Blood Demon Clan leaders!

However, due to the prohibitive power of Blood Demon Mountain's restrictions, Yang Xiaotian hadn't been able to clearly hear what they were discussing about Hongmeng Academy.

Back then, the White Night Demon Clan had almost been wiped out by Primordial Universe Taoist.

Could the secret plot between the White Night Demon Clan and the Blood Demon Clan this time be aimed at dealing with Hongmeng Academy?

If so, then Hongmeng Academy would soon face significant upheaval.
