Xiaoqing Evolves
Vibration Sword required one’s divine soul energy and physical body to work in unison along with the Dao Divine Sound to cultivate. Once complete, one could set up a barrier within a certain radius.
Yang Tian sighed for the very first technique was awfully difficult to master; he figured it wasn’t part of the nine Dao Sutra volumes. The sheet was sturdy but not much different to a golden sheet, nevertheless. He uttered, “I’ll have to wait until I’m strong enough to visit Devil Spirit Sect to see if they have any other sword techniques. I guess I know what I’m doing for the next half a year.”
Yang Tian entered Dao Physique Secret Manual to study the spiritual realm. Few studied swordplay on the continent. Plus, up until now, he wielded Black Devil purely based around brute force.
Nothing was out of the norm inside Ancestral Dragon Ring besides Xiaoqing having grown stronger. The ice-cold pool didn’t find any use for the ancient qi in the vicinity. Yun’er cultivated in seclusion, striving to ascend to Battle Emperor Realm within half a year. Dahu consumed herbs. The demon flame in front of Dahu refined a bunch of random refinement materials. Dahu wanted a sword for his offence and ascend in case Yang Tian abandoned him half a year later.
Five days went by inside Ancestral Dragon Ring. Yang Tian emitted faint sounds.
Another five days went by. The sounds Yang Tian emitted grew stronger slightly. Black Devil vibrated gently as part of the steady upgrade.
Two months later, prodigies gathered at City of Chaos. Central States clans’ best disciples headed over. Beast heirs also headed over. Meanwhile, the devil race was missing from the picture ever since the clash with Li Clan. Blood Illumination Devil Palace’s Longyang had vanished.
Dao Divine Mountain was a secret on the continent, but everybody knew about it to strive to go there. To obtain the treasures within, one had to overcome the countless formations within. When it closed, it toured the continent. When it opened, the formations activated.
The space inside Ancestral Dragon Ring rumbled. Swords clanged. A year had passed inside the ring when only two months had passed in the outside world. Yang Tian picked up pill refinement again as a daily activity on top of his sword training and physical cultivation. His six Dao Physiques had yet to emerge. He speculated he needed the sixth one to ascend to Battle Realm. His divine soul cultivation didn’t lag behind despite him not ascending through the cultivation realms fast. He was only half a step away from Soul Tempering Peak Realm Peak.
Yang Tian’s alchemy skills improved relatively slow because Yang Xiao was absent. In saying that, he did improve significantly over time, allowing him to refine rank five pills. Howbeit, he still wasn’t confident when it came to refining mid-grade pills.
Yang Tian sat next to the cold pool. Black Devil vibrated overhead, creating violent ripples. He enveloped a radius of over three kilometres using the sword technique. Though wide, it expended an immense amount of Divine Soul energy. He opened his eyes after absorbing for a while. The golden beams he fired from his eyes were sharp and firm. He looked up to Black Devil and sighed. With the foundation down pact, he could easily finish cultivating the swordplay if he could locate other swordplay. He eventually got up to stretch.
The small divine herb, in much better shape than before, cheerfully approached. Yang Tian scrubbed her head and gazed over to Xiaoqing’s place. “He should be able to evolve soon. It takes a special individual to raise a Divine Beast.”
There wasn’t much divine liquid left, leading to Yang Tian lamenting he couldn’t use any more except in emergencies.
Xiaoqing gradually woke from his slumber as his energy levels amplified. Yang Tian waved a hand, shifting Xiaoqing into the outside world. Divine Beast’s cultivation nature change during evolutions. Yang Tian could no longer afford to feed Xiaoqing enough for him to wake up.
Aggressive clangs echoed, and sparks flew outside every now and then – courtesy of a small golden sword. The demon race’s tempering method entailed inherited seals. Chubby’s bone was similar. Dahu was pleased with the ambush weapon. He planned to refine one of his teeth that fell out after it took shape. Suddenly, he shuddered. When he looked over, he noticed the heir of a Divine Beast.
Seeing Dahu try to get in the beast’s good graces, bouncing around and whatnot, Yang Tian shot him a glare and told him to behave. Then, he looked up to see all the vital essence in the valley answering the beast in the sky’s beck and call.
Xiaoqing’s golden colour illuminated the entire sky. Dahu’s Bloodline was too faint to trigger. The commotion alerted Yun’er, so she stopped absorbing energy from her Inheritance. She jumped up and joined Yang Tian.
Owing to Xiaoqing’s absorption rate, Yang Tian smiled. “Yun’er, open a formation all around.”
Yun’er stepped into the void and opened it a formation using hand gestures. Golden breakers burst over three square kilometres. Every chirp was as loud as thunderclap. Life force awoke. Xiaoqing’s absorption rate was only a notch below Xiaobai’s. Dahu shouted as his Bloodline resonated.
Mutated Beasts’ Bloodline could evolve if they spend long enough with Divine Beasts. Moreover, Dahu possessed a white tiger’s Bloodline. It finally made sense as to why Dahu wanted to serve the golden battle gorilla.
A celestial peng emerged. Its golden eyes were akin to a frightening blade and unlike human eyes.
“What’s the matter, Brother Peng?” The voice echoed to infinity.
