Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 277
Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique
“`
“You just mentioned something? There’s an Innate Sword Spirit on the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain?” Yang Xiaotian’s heart raced.
He had already condensed eight Nine-Colored Sword Hearts. With just one more, he would have nine!
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s excited reaction, Zuo Qiu was not surprised and said, “Yes, there is an Innate Sword Spirit on the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain, but you should not harbor any delusions about it.”
“Because nobody can actually make it to the summit of Celestial Burial Mountain.”
“At the peak of Celestial Burial Mountain, there is an incredibly terrifying Innate Sword Formation. Even Divine Spirits cannot break through it.”
Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, “Innate Sword Formation?”
“Yes.” Zuo Qiu nodded, “Even the Green Lotus Sword Deity and others were unable to break through that Innate Sword Formation. If a Divine Spirit Powerhouse steps into it, they are also blasted out, unable to withstand it for even two breaths.”
An Innate Sword Formation?
Yet, Yang Xiaotian’s mind was greatly settled.
Divine Spirits might not be able to break through the Innate Sword Formation, but he had Master Ding.
It was Master Ding who had taken him into the Innate Sword Formation at Black Snow Mountain.
“How many Innate Sword Spirits does that Innate Sword Formation have?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.
“That I do not know.” Zuo Qiu shook his head, “However, the Celestial Burial Ancestor had cultivated for many years on Celestial Burial Mountain. He understood the mountain and that Innate Sword Formation best. He left behind a book called ‘Celestial Burial Mountain’ in the deepest part of the Celestial Burial Academy Library. If you want to understand, you can try and find that book.”
“However, it’s not easy to access the deepest part of the Celestial Burial Academy Library. It is said that the books there have become sentient; if you’re not a Divine Spirit, you simply can’t get in.”
Yang Xiaotian took note of this.
He decided to search for this book in the library later.
“You mentioned earlier that not everyone can cultivate on Celestial Burial Mountain; what does that mean?” Yang Xiaotian asked, “What conditions are needed to enter Celestial Burial Mountain?”
Zuo Qiu explained, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The rules of the Celestial Burial Academy dictate that if you want to absorb the Aura of Sword Spirit on Celestial Burial Mountain, you must exchange it for Contribution Value.”
“Ten thousand Contribution Values in exchange for one day of cultivation on Celestial Burial Mountain.”
Yang Xiaotian’s eyes widened, “Ten thousand Contribution Value, just for one day of cultivation on Celestial Burial Mountain?”
The Celestial Burial Academy was seriously ripping people off.
Being the Divine Child of the True Dragon Divine Sect, he of course knew how hard it was to accumulate ten thousand Contribution Values.
A mission, once completed, generally awards ten Contribution Values.
Only extremely difficult missions, once completed, would award one hundred Contribution Values.
Ten thousand Contribution Values would mean completing a hundred extremely difficult missions.
Even if he completed one extremely difficult mission a month, it would take about ten years to complete a hundred!
“Is there any other way?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
Zuo Qiu shook his head, “There is no other way. These are the rules set down by the Celestial Burial Ancestor. Even the current dean must abide by them.”
Yang Xiaotian’s brows furrowed.
Could it be that he would have to force his way into Celestial Burial Mountain?
At this thought, he felt somewhat headache.
On his way here, he had learned about the Celestial Burial Academy. It was unfathomable; just in terms of Divine Spirits, there were no less than ten ancestors!
Moreover, the Celestial Burial Academy had great influence in the Buddha Source Empire and even the surrounding empires. Even the Buddha Source Imperial Family and the surrounding Empire Royal Families dared not act recklessly within the academy.
If he were to forcefully enter Celestial Burial Mountain and break the rules of the Celestial Burial Academy, he would certainly be placed on their wanted list. Then, he would have no place in the Buddha Source Empire or the surrounding empires.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian worried, Zuo Qiu said, “I remember the Celestial Burial Academy seems to have a few missions worth ten thousand Contribution Values.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was greatly heartened.
“`
“However, such tasks have not been completed by anyone for ten thousand years,” Zuo Qiu said with a shake of his head. “Trying to complete them is more difficult than reaching the heavens!”
Celestial Burial Academy was teeming with countless strong individuals and geniuses.
No one had completed these tasks in ten thousand years, which spoke volumes about their level of difficulty.
“How do I accept these few tasks?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s interest, Zuo Qiu then led him to the Mission Hall.
The Celestial Burial Academy’s Mission Hall was packed, even more crowded than the Divine Dragon Capital; a sea of people as far as the eye could see.
Seeing so many people queuing to take on missions, Yang Xiaotian’s forehead creased with annoyance; he had not expected to have to wait in such a long line just to accept a mission at the Celestial Burial Academy.
Glancing at the queue that stretched on like a dragon, he realized that it would probably take days to reach the front.
Noticing the pained expression on Yang Xiaotian’s face, Zuo Qiu chuckled, “Don’t worry, brother. The ten-thousand-year tasks are not accepted here. They are taken from that corner over there,” he pointed to a deserted corner of the hall.
Yang Xiaotian felt a wave of relief.
Just as he was about to head over, he noticed a sudden commotion in the crowd at the main hall entrance.
Curious, Yang Xiaotian turned to look and saw a woman in a fiery red dress with a hot figure and an incredibly full chest, yet her face was the epitome of innocence.
In her hand, she held a bloody head.
“It’s Senior Sister Mu Yunchun!”
“Senior Sister Mu Yunchun has returned! I heard that a month ago, she took on the task of killing the Black Ghost Demon, and now she has actually slain him and brought back his head!”
Whispers and discussions broke out among the countless disciples in the hall.
Everyone’s eyes followed Mu Yunchun with intense fervor.
More precisely, they were all staring at her ample chest.
Zuo Qiu turned to Yang Xiaotian and said, “Senior Sister Mu Yunchun was born with the Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique, possesses a thirteenth-level Martial Soul, and her innate talent is monstrously prodigious. Her Sword Dao ranks within the top ten among the younger generation of Celestial Burial Academy!”
There were millions of students in the Celestial Burial Academy!
Being in the top ten among the younger generation was a testament to her breathtaking talent.
However, what surprised Yang Xiaotian was her innate Heart of Ice and Charm Bones Physique.
Such a special constitution was extremely rare and, of course, extremely powerful. Any woman with this physique could attract and tempt men extraordinarily with every gesture and smile.
Mu Yunchun, holding the head of the Black Ghost Demon, walked toward the mission booth. As she passed by Yang Xiaotian, she glanced at him, her eyes showing surprise.
Her Heart of Ice made her extremely sensitive to the power of flames, and she felt a striking force of fire emanating from this young man.
Could this striking fire force be an Abnormal Fire?
And moreover, it must be ranked in the top hundred of Abnormal Fires.
Otherwise, the power of fire could not possibly be this remarkable.
While Mu Yunchun carried the head of the Black Ghost Demon to the mission booth to complete her task, Yang Xiaotian also approached the booth for accepting ten-thousand-year missions and began perusing the list.
There were a total of four ten-thousand-year missions.
After reading through the four missions, Yang Xiaotian smiled wryly; they were almost impossible to complete.
For instance, the first one was to obtain a wisp of Golden Flame from the Golden Flame Heavenly Dragon on Divine Beast Mountain.
The Golden Flame Heavenly Dragon of Divine Beast Mountain was undoubtedly one of the strongest beings in the Azure God Continent. Who would dare to take a wisp of its Golden Flame? Wasn’t that courting death?
Probably even his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, didn’t have the strength to do so.
Amid his bitter smile, Yang Xiaotian’s gaze settled on the last ten-thousand-year mission.
For others, this task was nearly impossible, but he could do it because he possessed the Earth Flame and the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire!
