Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Emperor Master

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao once again breakthrough one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to temper his body, Xie Buhui’s face darkened.

Originally, he thought he could overpower Jun Xiaoyao this time and take first place in the academy’s grand competition.

But now, Jun Xiaoyao had actually broken through another one hundred and twenty acupoints!

Wouldn’t he be relegated to second place then?

He had been second place every year for the past few years!

Already, quite a few disciples in the academy had dubbed him “Eternal Second.” If he took second place again this time, wouldn’t he be unable to shake off this title?

Meanwhile, Dean Chen Jing, witnessing the force of heaven and earth flowing into Jun Xiaoyao’s cave dwelling, could not contain his excitement, “Xiaoyao this lad is really surprising, to breakthrough one hundred and twenty acupoints again before ascending to the Emperor Realm!”

“He must be the only genius in our academy who has managed to breakthrough one hundred and twenty acupoints twice in nearly ten thousand years!”

Senior Li Bi laughed, “The dean is right, he is the only one! Moreover, in nearly ten thousand years of our academy’s history, he is the genius who has broken through the most acupoints! Currently, no other disciple has broken through more acupoints than he has.”

Chen Jing laughed, “It looks like Xiaoyao will be first again this time, and Buhui can only claim second.” Then he looked towards Yang Xiaotian’s mountain peak, “Xiaotian came back yesterday, I wonder how his cultivation is going?”

Li Bi said, “Xiaotian’s talent is monstrous, but he has been practising for a short time. He only joined the academy this year, and it might be difficult for him to achieve a good rank in today’s grand competition.”

After all, almost all the participants in this grand competition were core disciples at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.

In Li Bi’s view, Yang Xiaotian had only just joined the academy this year, and no matter how much he cultivated, he couldn’t catch up with those core disciples at the tenth level of the Venerable Realm.

When it came to comparing with the peak of the Venerable Realm like Jun Xiaoyao, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han, there was even less need to mention it.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was inside his cave dwelling, operating his cultivation technique, absorbing the converged power of heaven and earth.

Several hours later, he finally absorbed all the power of heaven and earth completely.

When Jun Xiaoyao emerged from his cave dwelling, he saw that his dwelling was already surrounded by disciples of the Azure God Academy.

“Congratulations, Brother Jun!”

“Congratulations, Brother Jun for breaking through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go for the second time, becoming the disciple with the most acupoint breakthroughs in our Azure God Academy!”

One disciple after another came forward to congratulate Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao humbly smiled and said, “I’ve only broken through four hundred and ninety acupoints, not even five hundred, far less than the great achievements of the Great Emperor Master and the others.”

In front of the gate of Celestial Burial Academy stood a huge stele, engraved with the names of Ji Wudi, Jian Changkong, Sun Moon Holy King, Demon Sky Sword God, Green Lotus Sword Deity, and other dazzling entities.

Similarly, in front of the gate of Azure God Academy, there was a huge stele, also engraved with the names of amazing powerhouses from past generations of the academy.

Emperor Master was one of the powerhouses recorded on the stele in front of Azure God Academy.

Emperor Master was from two hundred thousand years ago, predating the Lord of All Gods, and was a supreme powerhouse in the world.

Now, while Jun Xiaoyao’s twice achieving the breakthrough of one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go was indeed dazzling, back in the day, Emperor Master had managed to make the breakthrough four times in a row!

Furthermore, he was the powerhouse who had opened up the most acupoints since the establishment of Azure God Academy.

He was also the only one in Azure God Academy to have his acupoints reach six hundred.

Compared to Emperor Master, Jun Xiaoyao fell far short.

Because the further along one goes, the harder it is to breakthrough an acupoint.

Don’t be deceived by Jun Xiaoyao having already broken through four hundred and ninety acupoints; for him to breakthrough to five hundred was extremely difficult, almost an impossibility.

According to the rules of Azure God Academy, only disciples who have unblocked five hundred meridian points can have their names engraved on the academy’s stone stele.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao currently doesn’t qualify to have his name on the academy stele.

When Jun Xiaoyao mentioned the Great Emperor Master, all the disciples of the Azure God Academy showed faces full of admiration.

“Great Emperor Master is a role model for us disciples of the Azure God Academy, but sadly, since the Great Emperor Master, no disciples from our Azure God Academy have been able to unblock six hundred meridian points.”

“One day I shall certainly unblock six hundred meridian points just like the Great Emperor Master,” one of the disciples swore on the spot.

“Wake up, you haven’t even unblocked a hundred meridian points yet, let alone six hundred!”

Jun Xiaoyao managed to unblock one hundred and twenty meridian points in one go, drawing the power of Heaven and Earth. Yang Xiaotian felt it from the mountain peak, but he didn’t pay it any attention and continued to ponder the great Divine Swords.

He felt that at this rate, within two months, he should be able to condense his fifteenth Sword Heart.

While Yang Xiaotian was cultivating, Princess Wan Ning came over with some good news—she had spoken to her venerable ancestor, who had agreed to speak to Medicine God Feng Yiming about acquiring some Divine Medicine dregs for him.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Wan,” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile upon hearing this.

Wan Ning smiled and said, “Don’t thank me yet. My venerable ancestor said we don’t know how much we can get, and Lord Feng Yiming, aside from being temperamental, can also be very difficult to persuade.”

“Furthermore, Lord Feng Yiming is currently in secluded alchemical cultivation and won’t emerge until next month. My venerable ancestor doesn’t want to disturb him, so we’ll try to approach Lord Feng Yiming next month.”

Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a month early or a month late.”

By next month, he should be able to reach the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm’s tenth layer.

As long as he could get the Divine Medicine dregs before his breakthrough to Emperor Realm, it would suffice.

Wan Ning looked towards Jun Xiaoyao’s mountain peak and sighed, “I didn’t expect that Brother Xiaoyao would once again unblock one hundred and twenty meridian points.” She then smiled at Yang Xiaotian, “Many disciples are discussing Junior Brother Yang and guessing when you will once again unblock three hundred and sixty-five meridian points.”

As she said this, her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian smiled and didn’t want to dwell on this topic. He asked, “Senior Sister Wan, I heard that recently you have been acquiring top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills?”

He then said, “I have some here.” After speaking, he took out a jade bottle.

Wan Ning received it and took a look, only to see ten top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills inside the bottle. Her pretty face lit up with surprise, “Junior Brother Yang, where did you get these top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pills?”

Yang Xiaotian blinked and said half-jokingly, “I refined them myself.”

Wan Ning was taken aback and then covered her mouth with a soft laugh, as many Medicine Gods did not dare to say they could refine top-grade elixirs with a hundred percent success rate. Surely her Junior Brother Yang couldn’t be a Medicine God.

Originally, Princess Wan Ning intended to give Yang Xiaotian Spirit Stones, but he insisted on not accepting them, so Princess Wan Ning had no choice but to let it be.

After Wan Ning left, Yang Xiaotian continued to ponder the great Divine Swords.

Day after day.

The day of the academy’s grand competition was drawing closer.

In these days, the Undying Death God had not caused any more trouble, but the various empires of the Azure God Continent had become even more tense.

As Yang Xiaotian pondered the great Divine Swords, his understanding of the Sword Dao had improved significantly.

Of course, with the effects of the second-stage top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill and the sixfold Tribulation Thunder Water, his strength and vitality were steadily increasing.

A month passed.

Finally, the day of the academy’s grand competition arrived.
