Invincible Divine Sword-Chapter 1407: Ascending Split Sword Mountain

After Yang Xiaotian and his companions left the Nine Heavens Holy City, they traveled non-stop towards Split Sword Mountain.

However, Split Sword Mountain was not close, so after leaving the city, they used a flying ship to proceed.

As they passed through various cities, Yang Xiaotian occasionally stopped to continue purchasing materials to refine the Supreme Pill, given the vast quantity he needed; a single merchant association couldn’t provide enough, requiring multiple purchases.

"I wonder if the Evil Clan has found the Sword Order," Yang Xiaotian pondered on the road.

The Evil Clan likely already found the Lord Naga and might have obtained the Sword Order from him.

"Don’t worry. Even if the Evil Clan truly found the Sword Order, entering the Sword Domain won’t be easy," Master Ding said. "It would take them at least three years to use the Sword Order’s power to break through the sea of Sword Qi surrounding the Sword Domain."

Three years!

This means the Evil Clan would need at least three years to enter the Sword Domain.

Yang Xiaotian had three years to search for Gao Yi’s Heavenly Dao Sword Stele left behind.

Though he had three years, the Sword Domain was vast, and finding the Heavenly Dao Sword Stele wouldn’t be easy.

Therefore, he needed to make the most of his time.

However, since Gao Yi left a Sword Talisman on the Sword Stele at Split Sword Mountain, it indicated he had once visited Split Sword Mountain to comprehend the Sword Dao.

But it’s uncertain if he left clues about the Heavenly Dao Sword Stele.

"The Evil Clan and the Demon Seed Clan have exhausted all means to find the Sword Order, probably not just for Gao Yi’s Heavenly Dao Sword Stele alone," Master Ding stated.

"Do you mean that the Evil Clan and the Demon Seed Clan are probably here for the Sword Domain’s resources?" Yang Xiaotian was shocked.

"Exactly," Master Ding replied. "The resources of the Sword Domain are not less than those of the Dao Domain. To the Evil Clan and the Demon Seed Clan, it’s a huge tasty morsel."

"If they could acquire the resources of the Sword Domain, they could cultivate many Sword Dao geniuses and Dominators, even Dao-Confirming powerhouses," Master Ding said.

Yang Xiaotian’s heart sank.

If so, the Sword Domain’s situation could be more perilous than the Dao Domain’s.

"If the Evil Clan and the Demon Seed Clan join forces, the Sword Domain will undoubtedly fall!" Master Ding shook his head. "And after destroying the Sword Domain, their next target might be the Dao Domain!"

Yang Xiaotian frowned deeply.

Although this was just Master Ding’s conjecture, it wasn’t impossible.

Given the Evil Clan and the Demon Seed Clan’s style and appetite, a single Sword Domain would indeed not satisfy them.

"Master Ding, is the battle power of the Yin Yang Demon Lord, Lord of All Evils, and Demon of Annihilation really that strong?" Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help asking.

"Although in the Dao Domain and Sword Domain their realms are suppressed to the Dao-Confirming Tenth Layer Peak, their battle power far surpasses those at the Dao-Confirming Tenth Layer Peak in the Dao Domain and Sword Domain," Master Ding explained. "Just like you, now at the Divine Ancestor Fourth Layer, your battle power is terrifying, enough to crush Supreme Fourth and Fifth Layer opponents!"

"If your realm were suppressed to the Divine Emperor Fourth Layer, killing those Divine Emperor Fourth Layer experts would be as easy as crushing an ant!"

In other words, even though entities like the Yin Yang Demon Lord, Lord of All Evils, Demon of Annihilation have their realms suppressed, they can still easily kill those at the Dao-Confirming Tenth Layer Peak as if crushing ants.

"Yin Yang Demon Lord’s fourth disciple, Demon of Annihilation He Yitian, could already sweep through the Dao Domain back then, let alone the Yin Yang Demon Lord," Master Ding continued. "Yin Yang Demon Lord’s own realm is much higher than that of his disciple He Yitian."

"His battle power exceeds He Yitian’s tenfold or more."

More than tenfold!

Yang Xiaotian was startled.

"So, to truly oppose beings like the Yin Yang Demon Lord, the only way is to breakthrough to the Dao-Confirming Realm yourself, and thoroughly master the Dao Source Power of the Dao Domain," Master Ding said. "Of course, you must also cultivate eleven kinds of Defying Heaven Divine Bodies, and cultivate them all to a certain level."

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

"Since Gao Yi left that Heavenly Dao Sword Stele in the Sword Domain, he certainly left other treasures there," Master Ding said. "If you find his cave abode in the Sword Domain, you might use its resources to let your cultivation soar!"

Yang Xiaotian was excited: "Master Ding, do you mean that Gao Yi’s Cave Abode might have elixirs that could make my cultivation soar? Or even Seventy-Million-Year or Eighty Million-Year Divine Herbs?!"

"That’s right," Master Ding laughed. "That lad was the first Lord of the Dao Domain, after all; he certainly had no lack of good things."

The Dragon Ascension Boat sailed ahead steadily.

After securing enough medicinal materials, Yang Xiaotian would stop and set up a furnace to refine elixirs along the way.

However, Yang Xiaotian did not immediately refine all the materials at once. Each time when his Divine Soul Power could no longer support him, he’d stop and continue on his journey.

He restored his Soul Power within the spaceship.

Once his Soul Power fully recovered, he would resume refining elixirs. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

This way, much time was saved.

Traveling like this, stopping and starting, finally, before reaching Split Sword Mountain, Yang Xiaotian refined over two thousand Eleventh Tribulation Heavenly Grade Supreme Divine Pills.

Near Split Sword Mountain, Yang Xiaotian retracted the flying ship and, with Meng Bingxue and others, flew toward Split Sword Mountain.

Along the way, they encountered numerous Sword Dao experts; these Sword Dao experts were evidently headed for Split Sword Mountain as well.

"I heard Evil Monarch has already reached the three hundred and ninety-ninth step!"

"Three hundred and ninety-ninth step! Doesn’t that mean he’s about to reach the four hundredth step?!"

Some Sword Dao experts heading to Split Sword Mountain exclaimed in surprise.

Split Sword Mountain had a total of a thousand sword steps.

The higher one climbs, the more difficult it becomes.

Throughout history, there were very few Sword Dao experts who reached the four hundredth step. Whenever someone did, it caused a sensation in the Sword Domain.

And those who reached the five hundredth step were even rarer.

As for the six hundredth or seven hundredth steps, they were even less common.

The Sword Domain’s first Sword God, Ao Jiu, only made it past the seven hundredth step back then.

However, the Tribulation Dragon Progenitor’s Sword Stele was on the nine hundredth step.

Of course, since the existence of Split Sword Mountain, no one has reached the thousandth, or final, step.

"Evil Monarch is about to reach the four hundredth step; let’s hurry!" shouted a Sword Dao expert suddenly and then accelerated.

The other Sword Dao experts, hearing this, also quickened their pace, rushing to Split Sword Mountain, fearing they might miss this spectacular opportunity.

Witnessing someone reach the four hundredth step was a major event in the Sword Domain, a rare opportunity.

Yet Yang Xiaotian wasn’t as excited as the crowd, continuing at the previous pace towards Split Sword Mountain.

The Evil Monarch mentioned among the crowd was most likely one of the Sword Domain’s top ten Sword Gods, Wu Xie, though many addressed him as Evil Monarch.

He also liked being called Evil Monarch.

Soon, Yang Xiaotian and his companions saw Split Sword Mountain from afar.

When Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived, Split Sword Mountain was teeming with people, with countless Sword Dao experts surrounding it, inside and out. Usually, many experts came to Split Sword Mountain to comprehend the Sword Dao, and with Wu Xie about to reach the four hundredth step, even more Sword Dao experts had gathered.
