Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 320: Tang Huan Wins First Place

Outside the mountain, Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, watching the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder strike down again, was already gobsmacked.

As the level of the elixir being refined grows higher, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation it attracts becomes stronger.

The second Tribulation Thunder was noticeably mightier than the first.

Inside the cave mansion, Yang Xiaotian gazed at the golden, heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill and swallowed hard; never before had he wanted to consume an elixir so badly.

It was like facing a delicacy of the heavens, ever tempting one to take a bite.

Such an elixir was no longer just appetizing.

The heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill in his hand shone translucent gold, almost like it was imbued with a life of an elf.

In the end, Yang Xiaotian managed to resist and carefully stored the heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

Considering how the heaven-grade elixir had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, which was incredibly astonishing, Yang Xiaotian decided not to continue with alchemy. Instead, he continued to search the cave mansion for divine-level elixirs.

After scouring the entire cave mansion and finding no divine-level elixirs, he did find an abundance of Alchemy Secret Manuals and scrolls, all left by the Thousand Buddha Medicine God from years past.

Looking at these Alchemy Secret Manuals and scrolls, Yang Xiaotian felt rather helpless.

What he least lacked now were Alchemy Secret Manuals and scrolls; he had so many that he couldn’t finish going through them all.

However, among them, one scroll caught Yang Xiaotian’s attention.

In this scroll, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God recounted his experience in refining divine-level elixirs and the whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.

Yang Xiaotian carefully read the scroll from beginning to end.

It turns out that years ago, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God had refined a furnace of divine-level elixirs at the Pharmacist Hall of the Buddha Source Empire, yielding a total of two pills.

One had been used, and the other was placed inside the Thousand Buddha Hall of the Pharmacist Hall.

As for the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, its location would be known once that divine-level elixir was retrieved.

“Thousand Buddha Hall,” Yang Xiaotian muttered.

After gathering all the items, Yang Xiaotian left the cave mansion, passed through the Innate Sword Formation, and descended from the summit of Thousand Demon Mountain.

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, guarding outside the mountain, saw Yang Xiaotian emerge and perked up, greeting him, “Young Master!”

Yang Xiaotian, in high spirits, gave the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor a sacred-grade elixir, and it was of the highest quality.

Had it not been for the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, he would not have found the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire so easily.

Receiving the sacred-grade elixir, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was thrilled and thanked Yang Xiaotian profusely.

Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor left Thousand Demon Mountain and returned to Redemption City. By then, Buddha Youth God and the teachers and students of Buddha Source Academy had already left, so they did not encounter them.

After leaving Redemption Land, Yang Xiaotian boarded the Abyssal Spaceship and flew towards Buddha Light City in the Buddha Source Empire.

The Pharmacist Hall of the Buddha Source Empire was located in Buddha Light City.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Yang Xiaotian took out the heaven-grade Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the surface of the elixir was wrapped with a network of Thunder Patterns.

This was the symbol of a Heaven-Grade Spirit Pill having undergone one tribulation.

Heaven-grade elixirs also have levels of their own.

Like the Heavenly Tribulations, there are first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage tribulations.

An elixir that has undergone a first-stage tribulation is called a first-tribulation heaven-grade Spirit Pill.

Just now, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and the Four Symbols Spirit Pill that Yang Xiaotian had refined had both undergone a first-stage tribulation to become elixirs, thus they were both first-tribulation heaven-grade Spirit Pills.

Above the first tribulation, there are second and third tribulations.

The highest is the ninth tribulation!

A first-tribulation heaven-grade Spirit Pill is already beyond rare, let alone second and third tribulations.

It’s like the famous Medicine God Su Dan of the Divine Dragon Empire who could also only refine first-tribulation heaven-grade Spirit Pills.

Yang Xiaotian, although now in control of two Divine Flames, could only refine Heaven-grade elixirs of the first tribulation.

It was impossible for him to refine Heaven-grade elixirs of the second tribulation.

Unless he could control three Divine Flames and utilize all of them at the same time in alchemy, there was a hope for him to refine Heaven-grade elixirs of the second tribulation.

On the road, Yang Xiaotian was not idle either; he continued refining elixirs with the two Divine Flames during the day.

Now that he could refine Four Symbols Spirit Pills of Heaven grade, he started working on refining the third-grade Nine Suns Longevity Pill.

The Nine Suns Longevity Pill was much more difficult to refine than the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

The first attempt did not end in success for Yang Xiaotian.

After numerous failures, he finally managed to draw forth the heavenly tribulation.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian began the process of refining the fourth-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.

A day later, he successfully refined the Heaven-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.

Finally, Yang Xiaotian started refining the fifth-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill.

The Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was the highest-level elixir he could refine at present, and it was also the one he needed the most for his cultivation in the Martial Emperor Realm.

Therefore, whether or not he could refine a Heaven-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was of utmost importance to him.

After dozens of failures, finally, the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill also triggered a heavenly tribulation.

Looking at the brewing Tribulation Thunder in the sky, Yang Xiaotian felt a weight lift off his shoulders and a smile appeared on his face.

The Heaven-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill was finally refined. His arduous search for the Thousand Buddha Divine Flame was not in vain.

However, while the Heaven-grade Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill had been refined, the thought of the Sword Heart gave Yang Xiaotian a headache.

As he progressed, the Sword Heart became denser. According to his current situation, to condense the tenth Sword Heart, he would need at least ten Innate Sword Spirits. Where could he find so many Innate Sword Spirits?

“Actually, to condense the tenth Sword Heart, you don’t necessarily need to find Innate Sword Spirits,” the Medicine Cauldron spoke up.

Yang Xiaotian was surprised, “Master Ding means?”

“If you can fully master the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique and integrate all forty-nine moves, understanding the essence of the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Dao, you will be able to condense the tenth Sword Heart,” the Medicine Cauldron explained.

Yang Xiaotian’s heart stirred, “If I find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword and fully master it, comprehending the essence of the Thousand Buddha Sword Dao, would that help me condense the eleventh Sword Heart?”

“That’s right,” the Medicine Cauldron said, then added, “However, you need to practice the swordsmanship of a Divine Sword for it to be effective. If it’s the Heavenly Sword, or the Supreme Divine Sword Technique, the effect would be lesser.”

Yang Xiaotian understood and immediately, he thought of the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Sword Technique from the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.

“The Ancient Thunder God’s Thunderclap Nine Heavens is comparable to a Divine Sword technique. However, you need to find the Ancient Thunder God Sword to truly understand the essence of its Sword Dao,” the Medicine Cauldron said.

The Ancient Thunder God Sword?

That Ancient Thunder God Sword should still be in the Ancient Thunder God Cave Mansion.

While Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor were on their way to Buddha Light City, Buddha Light City was in the midst of the spirited Buddha Source Pharmacist Competition.

Tang Huan had signed up for the Buddha Source Pharmacist Competition.

Because of Tang Huan’s participation, this year’s Buddha Source Pharmacist Competition was extraordinarily lively, with many sects, clan experts flooding into Buddha Light City, and numerous talented pharmacists eagerly signing up.

During the competition, Tang Huan showcased stunning alchemy techniques, breezing through five stages and defeating six opponents, earning the astonishment of powerhouses from all directions.

When Yang Xiaotian arrived in Buddha Light City, it was already evening.

The evening twilight, with the city bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, gave Buddha Light City an air of tranquility and harmony.

After storing the Abyssal Spaceship, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor entered Buddha Light City.

As they entered Buddha Light City, they saw everywhere on the streets and alleys people were discussing the Pharmacist Competition that had just ended.

“The Buddha Son truly deserves to be the most talented young alchemy genius of Buddha Source, having mastered both the Space Flame and the Great Sea Flame!” an excited clan disciple exclaimed as he passed by, “And to use both the Space Flame and the Great Sea Flame for alchemy at the same time, it’s simply a divine miracle!”

“Yes, the Buddha Son earning first place in this year’s Pharmacist Competition is well-deserved!” another clan disciple eagerly agreed, “In my opinion, even if Yang Xiaotian had participated in this competition, he would definitely have lost to the Buddha Son!”
