Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Brother Xiaotian

This time, Yang Xiaotian headed to the Soul Beast Forest with few people, bringing only the Heartfelt Demon Ape and Dark Dragon.

However, when passing by the Azure God Mansion, Yang Xiaotian made a trip back to the mansion.

Last time Zeng Yongjiang said that if he was among the top ten in the great competition of the Divine Mansion, he would be rewarded with an additional Divine Level Elixir, which Zeng Yongjiang had not given to him yet.

Therefore, his return to the Azure God Mansion was to claim that Divine Level Elixir from Zeng Yongjiang.

Zeng Yongjiang, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian return, didn’t say another word and promptly gave him the Divine Level Elixir.

Yang Xiaotian didn’t linger any longer, took the Divine Level Elixir, and urged his sister and Dark Dragon to continue the journey.

After all, their trip to the Soul Beast Forest was not short, and they had to hurry.

However, when passing through the borders of some coastal empires, they saw the empires’ borders heavily guarded, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Upon seeing this, the Heartfelt Demon Ape said, “Lately, the coastal regions of the Azure God Continent haven’t been very peaceful, with overseas countries frequently coming to invade and plunder resources.”

“Overseas countries?” Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow.

He had been cultivating in seclusion recently and hadn’t paid attention to these matters.

The Heartfelt Demon Ape nodded, “In recent years, with the Undying Death God and Nether Sect causing chaos, overseas countries see opportunities to frequently come to our Azure God Continent’s coastal regions to plunder resources.”

Upon mentioning the overseas countries, Dark Dragon’s eyes turned cold with obvious disgust, “The overseas countries harbor wolf-like ambitions. They’ve never been at peace, routinely coming to our Azure God Continent to plunder resources.”

The Heartfelt Demon Ape shook his head, “Although the overseas countries are annoying, their strength is not weak, and even the Azure God Mansion is helpless against them. Even Lord Azure God himself couldn’t resolve the hidden dangers from overseas.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

He was somewhat familiar with the overseas countries.

Beyond the Azure God Continent lies the Boundless Sea Domain.

Within the Boundless Sea Domain, there reside a hundred thousand great nations.

These nations have always been covetous of the Azure God Continent, often sending troops to invade the coastal nations of the Azure God Continent. Sometimes, they even attack coastal cities and plunder the materials within.

Moreover, what’s infuriating is that after these people plunder the city’s materials, upon seeing beautiful women, they would abduct them directly.

The fate of these beautiful women is easily imaginable; they are typically violated to death.

Furthermore, if the merchant fleets from the Azure God Continent set sail, and if the overseas countries find out, they will send troops to pirate these merchant fleets.

Thus, the Azure God Continent and the overseas countries have long-standing grievances.

“Overseas countries,” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself.

When he was to head to the Myriad Swords Continent, he would have to cross the Boundless Sea Domain, definitely passing by the overseas countries.

Driven by supreme Spirit Stones, the Abyssal Spaceship steadily approached the Soul Beast Forest.

Yang Xiaotian fed the Divine Level Elixir given by Zeng Yongjiang directly to the Life God Tree, and after two days, it bore two Life God Fruits.

Therefore, while on the road, Yang Xiaotian consumed a Life God Fruit to cultivate.

Along the way, the Demon Ape and Dark Dragon provided guidance to Yang Ling’er’s cultivation.

With instruction from two experts, Yang Ling’er’s cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, whether in swordsmanship or other Divine Skills.

After Yang Xiaotian absorbed two Life God Fruits, the group finally arrived at the Soul Beast Forest.

However, after breaking through to the middle phase of the Emperor Realm’s second level, advancing further became even more challenging, and only after absorbing two Life God Fruits did Yang Xiaotian break through to the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm’s second level late phase.

He was still half a step away from the Emperor Realm third level.

“Young Master, ahead lies the Soul Beast Forest,” the Demon Ape called out from outside the chamber.

Yang Xiaotian emerged from the secret chamber and gazed at the Soul Beast Forest before him, memories of hunting the Abyssal Master years ago flooding his thoughts.

The scenes from that time were vivid in his mind, and in the blink of an eye, years had passed.

He stowed away the Abyssal Spaceship and flew through the air with several others.

The Soul Beast Forest was the same as it had always been, with hardly any changes. Along the way, they saw disciples hunting soul beasts throughout the forest.

These disciples came from the Buddha Source Empire, the Divine Dragon Empire, and even the Myriad Gods Empire.

Since Yang Xiaotian needed to select a soul beast over a hundred thousand years old for his sister this time, they kept flying deeper into the Soul Beast Forest.

Dusk slowly descended.

Yang Xiaotian glanced at the sky and said, “Let’s find a place to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow.”

They found a mountainous area, built a campfire, and the Demon Ape hunted a small soul beast to roast over the fire.

The aroma was tantalizing.

Yang Xiaotian carved a leg from the beast and handed it to his sister, Yang Ling’er.

As they were feasting, they saw a group of disciples approaching from a distance.

Normally, Yang Xiaotian wouldn’t have paid them much attention, but the sight of one of the female disciples made him stop and stare at her intently.

Noticing her brother’s unusual behavior, Yang Ling’er turned to look and exclaimed in surprise, “It’s Sister Qingxuan! Sister Qingxuan!” She then waved her hands vigorously, clearly delighted.

The female disciple heard the calling, looked over, and upon seeing Yang Ling’er, her pretty face lit up with joy, “Sister Ling’er!” Then she hurriedly walked over.

The person approaching was none other than Long Qingxuan, who had taken the Hundred Flowers Sword Goddess as her master and joined the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.

Seeing Long Qingxuan coming over, Yang Xiaotian stood up with his sister.

He kept his eyes fixed on Long Qingxuan.

Years had not been seen, and the once little girl, Long Qingxuan, had grown into a figure graceful and elegant, even taller than his sister Yang Ling’er, standing around one meter seventy.

Her spirited eyes sparkled, her skin smooth as jade, stunningly beautiful. In terms of appearance, Long Qingxuan was no less than Zeng Qianqian or Princess Wan Ning.

After Long Qingxuan approached, she and Yang Ling’er embraced each other excitedly.

She truly hadn’t expected to encounter Yang Ling’er here.

“Sister Ling’er, are you well?” Long Qingxuan asked, beaming with happiness.

Yang Ling’er nodded, then laughed, “I’m doing very well, but I’ve missed you a lot, Sister Qingxuan. My brother has too, often talking of you.” She then gestured towards Yang Xiaotian, “My brother, it’s been several years since you two have seen each other, right? I wonder if Sister Qingxuan still remembers my brother?”

Long Qingxuan looked over and locked eyes with Yang Xiaotian. Suddenly, her heart fluttered, and she looked at Yang Xiaotian with a bashful expression, “Brother Xiaotian.”

Back when she had first met Yang Xiaotian in the Red Moon Forest, she used to call him “Brother Xiaotian” as well.

After so many years, hearing this familiar “Brother Xiaotian” warmed Yang Xiaotian’s heart, and he smiled, “Sister Qingxuan.”

The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect who had come with Long Qingxuan were somewhat surprised at her demeanor, as in their memory, Sister Long was always serious and rarely smiled. Yet today, in front of a young man, she was actually shy?

Seeing this, Deng Chuan, a male disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect and one of her suitors, felt a twinge of jealousy and asked, “Sister Long, who are these two people?”

Long Qingxuan was a direct disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sword Goddess and a princess of the Divine Dragon Empire; with both status and talent, it was only natural that the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect was not lacking in admirers, Deng Chuan being one of them.

Long Qingxuan, her eyes brimming with emotion, looked at Yang Xiaotian and said, “Brother Xiaotian and Sister Ling’er are my friends. We’ve known each other since we were little.”

Friends since they were little?

Did that mean childhood sweethearts?
