Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Comprehending the Sword Path

“`

Yang Xiaotian returned to the True Dragon Divine Sect.

Back at Heaven-Penetrating Peak, his sister Yang Ling’er chattered non-stop, asking about the scene when Guo Hong was blasted away and how Guo Hong’s belly was now.

Yang Xiaotian sweated, wondering why she cared so much about someone else’s belly, but still smiled and said, “That Guo Hong, for the next few months, will probably have to walk with a bent back.”

Yang Ling’er’s eyes bent into crescents with laughter, “You don’t know, after you hammered Guo Hong’s belly a hundred times, the news spread and the disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect felt so relieved. Many even threw a huge celebratory banquet.”

After entering the Divine Dragon Empire, Guo Hong clamored to challenge all the Martial Ancestors of the Divine Dragon Empire alone, his arrogance inspiring hatred among the disciples of the entire Empire.

Now that Yang Xiaotian had pummeled Guo Hong and the news had spread, not only the True Dragon Divine Sect disciples were cheering, but disciples from all sects in the Divine Dragon Empire were also jubilant.

Yang Xiaotian smiled at this news.

“However, big brother, before you came back, an envoy from the Four States Empire had been sent here. That envoy from the Empire clamored for the True Dragon Divine Sect to cripple your cultivation and then hand you over to them to take back to the Four States Empire,” said Yang Ling’er indignantly.

“What is infuriating is that Deng Hongqing, Long Hao, and that Liu Ping all think you are a troublemaker for the True Dragon Divine Sect, saying they will imprison you in Prison Mountain for ten years as punishment!”

Ling’er continued heatedly, “That Liu Ping even said that imprisoning you in Prison Mountain is to temper your mind, claiming it would be good for you.”

“Oh,” Yang Xiaotian responded, unfazed.

“It was that Deng Hongqing who first brought it up, to lock you in Prison Mountain for ten years. Liu Ping agreed, and although Long Hao didn’t speak up, he didn’t object either,” said Yang Ling’er.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, “Okay, I got it.” Then he smiled and said, “I brought back lots and lots of sweets for you from the Imperial Capital.”

With that, he produced a Space Ring.

Upon opening it, it was filled with all kinds of delicious candies, eliciting cheers from Yang Ling’er.

Nightfall.

Yang Xiaotian stood against the wind atop the tall Heaven-Penetrating Stele, gazing toward the end of the night sky.

At the end of the night sky lay the direction of the Sword Path.

This time, he did not have the Barefoot Elder Demon, Tian Zhengyi, Thousand Snakes Sword Master, and the Blood Prison Blademan accompany him back.

Each of these four had massive forces under them. He had ordered them to use all their power to help him find the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, Divine Flame, and Innate Fine Iron.

With their influence, perhaps they could indeed find news about the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, Divine Flame, and Innate Fine Iron.

However, thinking of Deng Hongqing, Long Hao, and Liu Ping, Yang Xiaotian’s eyes grew cold.

The darkness of night deepened.

Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed in his palace, practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.

By now, he had awakened nearly seven thousand True Dragon Powers. He needed to strive to awaken ten thousand True Dragon Powers. As soon as he awakened ten thousand True Dragon Powers, not only would he grow dragon wings on his back, his True Dragon Tyrant Body would also evolve into the True Dragon Imperial Body.

Then, his True Dragon body’s defense would be even stronger.

By the time Yang Xiaotian finished his cultivation, the sky was already bright.

After enjoying the pastries prepared by his mother, Yang Xiaotian went with his sister Yang Ling’er to the Sword Path.

Having joined the True Dragon Divine Sect for over a year, this was Yang Xiaotian’s first visit to the Sword Path.

Many True Dragon Divine Sect disciples gathered in front of the Sword Path, including Inner Sect Disciples, Core Disciples, and even Divine Successor Disciples.

“Greetings to the Divine Son,” many disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect hurriedly bowed in respect upon Yang Xiaotian’s arrival.

“`

Hu Yue, You Yi, Zhu Miaomiao, Fang Shaoqiang, Huang Xin, Wang Yao, and several others were all present.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Hu Yue snorted coldly, and along with You Yi and the others, none showed a pleasant expression.

Yang Xiaotian ignored Hu Yue and the others, proceeding straight to the beginning of the Sword Path.

At the start of the Sword Path, there stood a ten-meter-tall Sword Stele.

On the stele, there were no sword techniques, only a gigantic and ancient character for “sword”.

This character had been inscribed through the air using Sword Qi; it’s just that no one knew who had inscribed it.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian standing in front of the first Sword Stele, Hu Yue spoke up, “Yang Xiaotian, there’s nothing remarkable about you condensing six of the Strongest Sword Hearts. Junior Brother You Yi has also condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts.”

“Moreover, Junior Brother You Yi has already comprehended eight Sword Steles!”

“Junior Brother You Yi will definitely become the first Sword Dao Genius in our True Dragon Divine Sect to reach the end of the Sword Path.”

Listening to Hu Yue’s resentful and provocative words, Yang Xiaotian looked calmly at You Yi and said indifferently, “Is that so.”

Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s indifferent face, completely disregarding him, You Yi’s face darkened as he said angrily, “Yang Xiaotian, just like me, you have only condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts. When it comes to the Sword Dao, I might not lose to you!”

Hearing You Yi say that he had condensed six of the Strongest Sword Hearts just like himself, Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, “I have a Divine Elixir.”

You Yi choked, his face turning red.

There was silence all around.

After a long while, Hu Yue spoke again, “Yang Xiaotian, do you dare to compete with Junior Brother You Yi to see who can comprehend the first ten Sword Steles the fastest?”

The disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect present all looked at Hu Yue with strange expressions.

You Yi had already comprehended eight Sword Steles, and Yang Xiaotian had not even started with the first one. To propose such a contest was something only Hu Yue could come up with.

It was utterly shameless upon shameless.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling’er couldn’t hold back and said, “Hu Yue, my brother hasn’t even started comprehending the first Sword Stele, and You Yi has already comprehended the eighth. Only someone as shamelessly thick-skinned as you could come up with such a contest.”

Yet Hu Yue just snickered, “What, are you scared?” Then he added, “Scared? Then you shouldn’t call yourself the Divine Son! Because, you simply don’t qualify.”

Yang Xiaotian said calmly, “It’s not up to you to decide whether I qualify or not.” His gaze passed over the Sword Steles along the Sword Path, landing on the tenth stele, “However, what if you lose?”

You Yi stepped forward, with Sword Qi swirling around his body, “If I lose, I will never use a sword again! If I use a sword, you may break my hands!”

For a Sword Dao Genius to live without the use of a sword would be a fate worse than death.

Hu Yue also stepped up, swearing solemnly, “If Junior Brother You Yi loses, I too will never use a sword again, nor will I practice swordsmanship. Otherwise, you may break my hands.”

“Good!” Yang Xiaotian said, “If I lose, I too will never use a sword again, and will ask the Sect Master to revoke my status as the Divine Son.”

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian agreeing to the contest, Yang Ling’er’s face changed as she almost cried out in worry, “Brother! You—!”

Given You Yi’s speed of comprehension, it would take at most half a year to fully comprehend the tenth Sword Stele.

Even if Yang Xiaotian had excellent talent in the Sword Dao, it would be impossible for him to comprehend from the first to the tenth Sword Stele within half a year.

In the past, the founding ancestor of the True Dragon Divine Sect had taken a year and a half to progress from the first to the tenth Sword Stele.

Even her master, Hu Nan, known as the best Sword Dao talent in the True Dragon Divine Sect in a millennium, had taken over two years to comprehend the first ten Sword Steles.
