Chapter 1771: Disappearance of Hongmeng Academy Disciples
As Yang Xiaotian had hoped, after fully refining and assimilating the thirteen pieces of Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine, he broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Saint Realm.
Although he was only in the early stages of the Seventh Layer, Yang Xiaotian's power increased several times compared to before!
Of course, he not only broke through to the early stages of the Seventh Layer but also cultivated the Kaiyuan Sword Art to the Summit Mastery.
As for other Sacred Bodies, the improvements were equally pleasing.
The Primordial Destiny Holy Body, Hongmeng Holy Body, Origin Holy Body, Chaos Sacred Body, Heavenly Dao Holy Body, Primordial Dragon Holy Body, Ultimate Life Holy Body, Sun Holy Body, and others all broke through to the Twenty-Eight Layer.
Additionally, with the previous Eternal Holy Body, he now had nine Sacred Bodies that broke through to the Twenty-Eight Layer.
The Supreme Holy Body, Primordial Sword Body, and Myriad Domains Holy Body, although not yet broke through to the Twenty-Eight Layer, had already reached the Twenty-Seven Layer.
Only the Reversing Holy Body was the lowest, barely breaking through to the Third Layer.
"Looks like I need to find the Reversal Roulette quickly," Yang Xiaotian thought.
Otherwise, the advancement of the Reversing Holy Body is really slow.
Hanging like this is not a solution.
The Reversing Holy Body's realm is too low to exert its power.
Aside from the rapid improvement of various Sacred Bodies, his Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique finally broke through to the Twenty-Eight Layer after his hard work in cultivation!
And the Five Elements Holy Buddha Technique left by the Five Elements Holy Buddha also broke through to the Tenth Layer.
If his Five Elements Holy Buddha Technique reached the Fourteenth Layer, he could move the Five Elements Palace of the Five Elements Holy Buddha.
Yang Xiaotian swallowed a Holy Fruit and practiced for a month, completely consolidating his Seventh Layer Realm of the Saint Realm before leaving the Phoenix Palace.
After leaving the Phoenix Palace and confirming that there was no abnormality around, he then used the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to fly forward.
After getting out of Phoenix Tail Mountain, Yang Xiaotian found that the dark aura and gloom covering Kaiyuan Ancient Land had disappeared.
Could it be that the Death Sword Servant and that mysterious figure had already left Kaiyuan Ancient Land?
Yang Xiaotian continued to fly forward.
After half a day, he still did not see a single Death Sword Servant.
Looks like the Death Sword Servants have truly left.
Seeing the Death Sword Servants had left, Yang Xiaotian increased the speed of his flying ship, swiftly returned to Heavenly Fire Royal City, and on the way back, upon passing Sky Slash Mountain, he took the Middle Grade Dao Holy Vein beneath Sky Slash Mountain.
Previously, his Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique hadn't broken through to the Twenty-Eight Layer, unable to enter three hundred feet below Sky Slash Mountain. Now, with his Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique breaking through, he easily took the Holy Vein.
However, as Yang Xiaotian rushed back to Heavenly Fire Royal City, along the way, he heard many experts discussing Hongmeng Academy and Six Paths Academy.
They talked about the recent inner sect disciple duels between Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus and Six Paths Academy's Main Campus.
"Who would've thought Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus would lose so miserably this time, losing all ten duels!"
"In past duels, Hongmeng Academy would lose six out of ten duels, but this time they lost all, becoming a joke!"
"The Holy Child of the Six Paths is too strong; Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus disciple Yu Liang couldn't even withstand a single move!"
"With the Holy Child of the Six Paths, the Holy Temple battle on the Three Pure Continents, the first place is sure to be the Holy Child of the Six Paths!"
Many people were discussing fervently.
Yang Xiaotian was taken aback by what he heard.
Every few years, Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus and Six Paths Academy's Main Campus would send ten inner sect disciples each for ten duels.
Previously, Hongmeng Academy always had the upper hand.
This time, Hongmeng Academy was completely defeated!
This was truly unexpected.
Upon returning to Heavenly Fire Royal City, Yang Xiaotian summoned Lao Lu, Zuo Meng, Li Gu, and others to inquire about the circumstances they had heard about and some recent developments in Hongmeng Academy.
"Young Master, we've heard that the Tang Family might have some Buddha's Holy Water," Zuo Meng said.
"Oh, the Tang Family? Tang Principal's Tang Family?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
Tang Chang is from the Tang Family, which, along with the Hu Family, is one of the major families on the Three Pure Continents.
"Yes, it's indeed the Tang Family of Tang Principal. In those years, the Tang Family obtained quite a lot of Buddha's Holy Water. Some say the Tang Family found the treasure of the Three Lives Buddha Son," Zuo Meng explained.
"Three Lives Buddha Son!" Yang Xiaotian was surprised.
The Three Lives Buddha Son was the disciple of the Three Lives Buddha Ancestor.
And he was also the Young Hall Master of the Three Lives Buddha Hall.
"Yes, exactly the Three Lives Buddha Son," Zuo Meng nodded and said, "It's just that there's no news of the Reversal Roulette, nor have we found any traces about the Flame Princess years ago."
The Reversal Roulette likely isn't on the Three Pure Continents, making it difficult to inquire about.
The Flame Princess left the Three Pure Continents many years ago, too long ago to trace her whereabouts of those years easily, so Yang Xiaotian had little hope of finding the Sun Holy Tree through the Flame Princess.
"Tell me about the inner sect disciple duels between Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus and Six Paths Academy's Main Campus," Yang Xiaotian asked.
Lao Lu and several others were stunned, not expecting Yang Xiaotian to suddenly inquire about this matter.
"We are not very clear about this matter, only knowing that Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus lost all ten duels this time, and the Holy Child of the Six Paths claimed that Hongmeng Academy disciples are all useless, and none could withstand even a single move," Lao Lu said.
"Furthermore, the Holy Child of the Six Paths arrogantly declared that he would seize the first place in the Holy Temple battle on the Three Pure Continents," Zuo Meng added with displeasure.
Hongmeng Academy disciples being deemed as useless?
Yang Xiaotian frowned.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths undoubtedly hinted that he too was useless.
Even though he was not currently at Hongmeng Academy's Main Campus, he was still a disciple of Hongmeng Academy.
"Also, in recent years, various branches of Hongmeng Academy have had disciples go missing," Lao Lu said to Yang Xiaotian.
"Oh, disciples have gone missing from various branches?" Yang Xiaotian asked, "How many?"
"Not a lot, each branch has dozens of disciples missing," Lao Lu said.
Yang Xiaotian was shocked.
Hongmeng Academy has tens of thousands of branches across the Three Pure Continents, and if dozens of disciples went missing from each branch, wouldn't that mean hundreds of thousands of disciples?
Who could it be?
Yang Xiaotian thought of the Bai Ye Demon Clan and Blood Demon Clan.
Previously, the Bai Ye Demon Clan and Blood Demon Clan had conspired to deal with Hongmeng Academy.
Now, with so many disciples missing, it seemed far too coincidental.
"Hongmeng Academy is already conducting a full investigation into this matter, but has yet to find any results," Lao Lu shook his head and said, "Currently, Hongmeng Academy is panicking, and many disciples are afraid to leave the city or take on missions."
"Is there any news about the Bai Ye Demon Clan and Blood Demon Clan?" Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.
Lao Lu was moved: "Young Master's meaning is that it is very likely the Bai Ye Demon Clan and Blood Demon Clan did it?"
Yang Xiaotian nodded, instructing Lao Lu and others to closely monitor and inquire about news of the Bai Ye Demon Clan and Blood Demon Clan.
Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the news of the Myriad Prison Sword Master, and upon learning that the Myriad Prison Sword Master was still in seclusion, Yang Xiaotian returned to Hongmeng Academy. He didn't return to Cave Mansion No.1 but went to find Principal Tang Chang.
"Buddha's Holy Water?" Learning that Yang Xiaotian had come for Buddha's Holy Water, Tang Chang was surprised, he pondered, "Our Tang Family did acquire quite a bit of Buddha's Holy Water, but using this Buddha's Holy Water requires the approval of our ancestors."
