Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Hitting Acupuncture Points

“`

On the return journey, Yang Xiaotian still remained inside the ship, cultivating in seclusion without ever leaving.

However, on the way back to the Azure God Academy, astonishing news came from the Azure God Mansion: Nether Sect, Corpse Demon Sect, and numerous Demon Sects joined forces to besiege the Azure God Mansion.

There were rivers of blood at the Azure God Mansion, and the sky darkened as if eclipsed.

Fortunately, by the time Azure Bear and the troops of the Azure God Mansion rushed back, the body of the Undefeated Nether God had not been taken away.

Despite that, the forces of the Azure God Mansion suffered heavy losses.

Of course, those from the Demon Sects didn’t get off easy either. Once Azure Bear returned, they were slaughtered to the point of total disarray, fleeing in complete disarray.

Upon returning to the Azure God Academy, Yang Xiaotian immediately began searching for the Divine Shadow Sword.

He always felt that he could cultivate fifteen Invincible Sword Hearts.

However, on the first day back, he searched all around Sword Pavilion’s surrounding mountains and still didn’t find any trace of the Divine Shadow Sword.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t discouraged and continued his search the next day.

In the days that followed, he cultivated at night and searched for the Divine Shadow Sword during the day.

He believed that as long as he searched the entire Azure God Academy, he would surely find the Divine Shadow Sword.

It was just that the Academy was incredibly vast, as large as an imperial nation; searching the entire place wasn’t something that could be accomplished in a day or two.

On the third day of his search for the Divine Shadow Sword, Sword God Xi Long sent his disciple Liu Zhiyuan to deliver a pile of Divine Medicine dregs.

To Yang Xiaotian’s delight, the pile sent by Xi Long was thrice the amount of what he had before.

Thrice!

Enough for the Life God Tree to bear three Life God Fruits.

Consequently, when Liu Zhiyuan returned, Yang Xiaotian was immensely grateful and gave him thirty drops of six-fold Tribulation Thunder Water.

After Liu Zhiyuan left, Yang Xiaotian immediately fed all the Divine Medicine dregs to the Life God Tree for it to devour and absorb.

Next was to simply wait for the three Life God Fruits to mature after three days.

During this time, Chen Jing visited the Divine Residence to meet with the Dwarf Clan Leader Man Fang, asking him to help reforge his long sword, and Bai Li, Donghuang Xiu, and Wan Ning also toured his Divine Residence.

Donghuang Xiu even teased Yang Xiaotian, saying she wanted to rent a palace within the Divine Residence and asked how much it would cost for a year.

Seeing this, Princess Jiuhu Bai Li also expressed her desire to rent a palace.

Since Yang Xiaotian had many secrets, it would naturally be inconvenient to have the two women move in, thus he tactfully declined their requests.

That day, Yang Xiaotian continued to wander around the Azure God Academy, looking for the Divine Shadow Sword.

It was when he arrived at a certain lake that suddenly, the fourteen Sword Hearts within him began to tremble.

Startled, then filled with excitement, Yang Xiaotian soared above the lake, and as he hovered there, the trembling of the fourteen Sword Hearts grew even more intense.

Without hesitation, he stared at the bottom of the lake and broke through the surface to enter its depths.

At the lakebed, the fourteen Sword Hearts vibrated even more profoundly.

Yet, as he scanned the lakebed, he found nothing.

Guided by the sensing of his fourteen Sword Hearts, Yang Xiaotian stepped forward slowly.

At last, he reached a corner of the lakebed and with a gesture in the void, suddenly a sword materialized in front of him where there had been nothing before!

A sword that was nearly transparent in the water.

It was the Divine Shadow Sword!

Yang Xiaotian grasped the hilt, and the sword body surged with light as fierce Sword Qi burst forth, threatening to blow Yang Xiaotian away. Yet, how could he let the Divine Shadow Sword escape again? He fully activated the power of his fourteen Sword Hearts, enveloping the sword.

A Sword Armor covered him.

The blast of Sword Qi hit it, sending sparks flying, but it could not break through Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Armor.

Yang Xiaotian held fast to the Divine Shadow Sword, continuously suppressing it with the power of the fourteen Sword Hearts.

Finally, under the oppression of the Sword Heart Power, the previously raging Divine Shadow Sword gradually settled down.

And in the end, it allowed Yang Xiaotian to hold it.

“`

Yang Xiaotian immediately performed a blood refinement ritual, cutting his finger to refine the Divine Shadow Sword.

Soon, he felt a blood connection with the Divine Shadow Sword.

At that moment, the Divine Shadow Sword was finally subdued.

Looking at the nearly transparent Divine Shadow Sword in his hand, Yang Xiaotian felt elated.

It wasn’t in vain that he had searched painstakingly for several days—finally having subdued the Divine Shadow Sword.

Luckily, he possessed fourteen Sword Hearts; otherwise, finding this Divine Shadow Sword would truly have been challenging.

Yang Xiaotian broke through the surface of the lake, emerging from the bottom and under the sunlight, the Divine Shadow Sword in his hand became transparent—Yang Xiaotian was clearly holding the Divine Shadow Sword, but others could not see it.

Only Yang Xiaotian could sense the existence of the Divine Shadow Sword.

This Divine Shadow Sword, paired with his Black Dragon Martial Spirit’s life-bound soul skill of Space Concealment, was simply perfect.

Yang Xiaotian stored the Divine Shadow Sword and returned to the mountain peak to begin comprehending the Divine Shadow Sword Path.

A day later, three Life God Fruits finally ripened.

Yang Xiaotian stopped his Sword Dao cultivation and immediately consumed a Life God Fruit to begin impacting his acupoints.

Time passed.

Yang Xiaotian’s body surged with increasing vigor, his blood qi, which had already been close to seventeen thousand miles, swiftly broke through to seventeen thousand miles.

Then, it neared eighteen thousand.

Nineteen thousand.

Gradually approaching a radius of twenty thousand miles!

Finally, Yang Xiaotian’s body attained an astonishing radius of twenty thousand miles of blood qi.

At that moment, in the Core Disciple region, a certain mountain peak suddenly burst into radiance, with tremendous Heaven and Earth forces converging upon the mountain.

The astonishing Heaven and Earth forces alarmed the upper echelons and all disciples of the Azure God Academy.

“It’s Brother Xie Buhui’s mountain peak! He has broken through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one fell swoop, attracting the forces of Heaven and Earth to temper his body!”

“What, he has broken through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go! That’s just monstrous! Brother Xie Buhui truly deserves to be among the Four Swords!”

All the disciples were shocked.

Chen Jing, seeing Xie Buhui breaking through one hundred and twenty acupoints and attracting the forces of Heaven and Earth to temper his body, was also overjoyed, “Good! Another unparalleled prodigy has emerged in our Azure God Academy!”

Since its ancient establishment, the Azure God Academy had seen countless geniuses.

But those who could break through one hundred and twenty acupoints in one go were few and far between.

Among all the disciples in the academy now, only Sword Jun, Jun Xiaoyao had achieved that feat in one go.

From today onwards, there would be another name added—Xie Buhui.

Several hours later.

Xie Buhui finally completely refined the forces of Heaven and Earth.

“Congratulations, Brother Xie Buhui!” As Xie Buhui emerged from the palace, one Core Disciple after another stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

“Brother Xie Buhui has now opened up three hundred and ninety-nine acupoints, surpassing Jun Xiaoyao. At the year-end academy competition, Brother Xie Buhui will definitely take first place!”

In the Azure God Continent, those who could open up three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, reaching the number of the Grand Circulation, were freaks among freaks, and Xie Buhui had previously opened up two hundred and seventy-nine. Plus the one hundred and twenty from today, that was three hundred and ninety-nine!

In the Martial Venerable Realm, being able to open up three hundred and ninety-nine acupoints was exceptionally rare.

Listening to the flattery of the Core Disciples, Xie Buhui nodded, his face barely able to hide his pride.

Just as Xie Buhui was basking in pride and high spirits, suddenly, the earth shook, and golden beams of light shot up from Yang Xiaotian’s mountain peak toward the sky, piercing into the Nine Heavens.

These golden beams of light, neither more nor less, totaled three hundred and sixty-five.

The sky seemed as if it were riddled with three hundred and sixty-five holes.

While everyone was stunned, Yang Xiaotian’s blood qi roared like a rampant Blood Sea, enveloping the sky and sweeping over Heaven and Earth, submerging peak after peak of the Azure God Academy.
