Invincible Divine Sword

Old Lu's jaw dropped in astonishment upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to go to Heavenly Fire Royal City to see if there was anything that could make money.

He truly hadn't expected Yang Xiaotian to go to Heavenly Fire Royal City for this reason.

"Is the Young Master short on money?" Old Lu asked, shocked.

"Yes." Yang Xiaotian nodded, "I am quite short. To transform my Divine Body into a Sacred Body, I need money to buy Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water, at least sixty thousand units, and also need to purchase sixty stocks of Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine."

Old Lu was surprised, "The Young Master's Divine Body transforms into a Sacred Body and requires so much Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water? "

He had never heard of any genius in the Holy Realm needing so much Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water to transform their Divine Body into a Sacred Body.

What kind of Divine Body does his Young Master possess? How could it demand so much?

"I currently have only over two hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones on me," Yang Xiaotian said, "Even if I use all of them to buy Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water, it's only a little over two thousand units."

And he needed sixty thousand units!

He was still far from sufficient.

And just one stock of Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine required a hundred thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones; sixty stocks would be astronomical numbers.

At least for him currently, it was an astronomical number.

Therefore, to break into the Saint Realm, he needed at least 1.2 million Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones to succeed.

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian say his Divine Body needed sixty thousand units of Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water to transform into a Sacred Body, Old Lu looked at Yang Xiaotian, full of surprise, and sighed, "Originally, my Cave Mansion had quite a few Dao Holy Stones and a good amount of Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine, but now my Cave Mansion has been destroyed by others."

"Otherwise, I could give some to the Young Master."

"Old Lu, are you familiar with the Heavenly Fire Nation?" Yang Xiaotian changed the subject.

Old Lu replied bitterly, "I've only been to the Heavenly Fire Nation once."

So, he could only say he wasn't unfamiliar with the Heavenly Fire Nation; however, claiming familiarity was an overstatement.

Nevertheless, he still told Yang Xiaotian everything he knew.

While traveling, Yang Xiaotian noticed that people from the Upper Realm referred to it as the Holy Realm.

To learn about the Heavenly Fire Nation and the Holy Realm's situations, Yang Xiaotian bought numerous books along the way.

To understand a place, the most convenient and fastest way is through books.

A month later, when Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Royal City of the Heavenly Fire Nation, he already had a general understanding of the nation and surrounding countries.

At least he knew the powers of the Heavenly Fire Nation and surrounding countries, and which families, great sects, and commerce chambers existed, he was no longer blinded.

However, upon arriving at the Heavenly Fire Royal City, finding a place to stay was a significant problem for him and Old Lu.

Choosing an inn meant that the rooms at Heavenly Fire Royal City's inns were too expensive—forty Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones per room per night,

two rooms would be eighty.

If staying only a few nights, it wouldn't be much of an issue, but since they'd be in the Heavenly Fire Royal City for quite some time, possibly years, it would no longer be a small amount.

Moreover, staying at an inn for a long time isn't convenient for entering and leaving, nor for cultivating.

After careful consideration, Yang Xiaotian decided to buy a small courtyard.

The courtyard didn't need to be large, just enough for him and Old Lu to live in.

In the end, Yang Xiaotian bought a small residence situated on the edge of the city through a small commerce chamber.

Though called a small residence, it was actually an artifact refining shop, dilapidated and old, with many walls already covered with moss, even roof leaks in several places.

The door was just a few planks pieced together, leaking air from all sides.

The residence was only one hundred square meters with three rooms, a front courtyard with an ancient tree planted.

Despite the residence being worn down, it cost Yang Xiaotian four to five thousand Lower Grade Dao Holy Stones.

After purchasing the residence, Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu repaired it using materials.

The plank door was replaced by Yang Xiaotian, with a new door made from the finest divine wood in the Lower Realm, and the courtyard and room floors were paved with the finest green spirit stones from the Lower Realm.

The roof was also restructured using divine wood.

After a short day of renovation, the small residence looked completely new.

The moss on the walls had been cleaned, and Yang Xiaotian carved a Spirit Gathering Array, Defense Great Array, and Attack Great Array into the walls.

Seeing the arrays carved by Yang Xiaotian on the walls, Old Lu was greatly surprised because Yang Xiaotian had carved a Five System Formation! And it was a Saint Realm-level Five System Formation!

In the Holy Realm, it was rare for a Dao-Confirming Realm individual to set up a Five System Dao-Confirming Realm formation, yet his Young Master had crossed realms to set up a Five System Saint Realm Formation.

After transforming various parts of the residence, Yang Xiaotian realized the sky had completely darkened.

However, looking at the renovated residence, Yang Xiaotian was rather satisfied; this would be his first shelter in the Holy Realm to establish himself.

He and Old Lu ignited a bonfire in the front courtyard, drinking and chatting away.

The Fire Lion lay there.

The courtyard was decently sized, fifty to sixty square meters, with a corner of the courtyard wall planted with divine medicine, emanating fragrance.

"Young Master, you could try taking the Hongmeng Academy's examination." During the chat, Old Lu suddenly said this, knowing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to join Supreme Sects to leverage their resources for cultivation.

However, those Supreme Sects had a minimum threshold of the Saint Realm.

But Hongmeng Academy was different; Hongmeng Academy had no realm restriction.

"Hongmeng Academy?" Yang Xiaotian was astonished.

"Yes, Hongmeng Academy," Old Lu said, "The Ancestor of Hongmeng Academy is the Primordial Universe Taoist; he decreed that anyone who passes the Hongmeng Academy examination can become a disciple of Hongmeng Academy, and even the Dao-Confirming Realm can take the Hongmeng Academy examination if below the Great Saint Realm."

To hear that the Ancestor of Hongmeng Academy was the Primordial Universe Taoist made Yang Xiaotian delighted internally.

"Hongmeng Academy is one of the largest academies on the Three Pure Continents in terms of cultivation resources, absolutely astonishing," Old Lu said, "Every year, the Outer Sect disciples' examinations reward Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine or even Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine."

"Of course, there's also Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water or even Tenth Layer of Dao Holy Water."

Yang Xiaotian was deeply moved, and he asked, "Then where do I go to take the Hongmeng Academy examination?"

"The headquarters of Hongmeng Academy is in the Primordial Universe Mountain Range, exceptionally distant from here; however, Hongmeng Academy has established branches in many kingdoms and empires. There is a branch of Hongmeng Academy in the Royal City of the Heavenly Fire Nation, and they have admissions every July and August. The Young Master could join the Heavenly Fire Branch Campus just the same," Old Lu said.

Yang Xiaotian nodded, and so he would inquire tomorrow about exactly when the Hongmeng Academy's Heavenly Fire Branch Campus was enrolling and registering this year, and go to the Heavenly Fire Commerce Chamber to purchase Ninety Million Year Divine Medicine and Ninety Million Year Dao Holy Water.

The following day, Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu arrived at Hongmeng Academy.

Hongmeng Academy was located in the most prosperous area of the Heavenly Fire Royal City, with an incredibly grand entrance made entirely of a whole block of Primordial Saint Stone, filled with intense primordial saint energy.

Standing before the entrance of Hongmeng Academy, Yang Xiaotian's Primordial Universe Divine Body was filled with joy and excitement.

Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu approached the recruitment office beside the gate.

It was currently June, and perhaps due to it being early, the recruitment office wasn't crowded; only a female teacher sat in the room, idly flipping through an Alchemy Secret Manual, with her legs crossed.
