Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 282: Let Him Wait Outside the Book Pavilion

“A godlike existence?” Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in astonishment.

Zuo Qiu spoke fearfully, “Indeed, if he were to call out, I’m afraid hundreds of thousands of students from the Celestial Burial Academy would heed his command and act.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Students of the Celestial Burial Academy came from the Buddha Source Empire and the surrounding empires. For Wei Zongyuan to command the obedience of hundreds of thousands of students, his status in the Academy indeed must be very high.

Zuo Qiu lowered his voice and said, “It is said that he has been taken as a direct disciple by the Demon Sky Sword God!”

Demon Sky Sword God!

Yang Xiaotian was shocked.

Above the gate of the Celestial Burial Academy, the name of the Demon Sky Sword God was inscribed before that of his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity. Their names were closely placed next to each other.

Even when Yang Xiaotian was in the Divine Dragon Empire, he had heard of the towering reputation of the Demon Sky Sword God.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zongyuan had caught the eye of the Demon Sky Sword God and had been made his direct disciple.

“Although he is at the peak of Martial Ancestor just like you, he has forged a Sword God Command,” continued Zuo Qiu. “All those under his command, holding the Sword God Command, are as if he himself is present; even many family heads show utmost respect upon seeing the Sword God Command.”

Yang Xiaotian’s brows furrowed.

He had received the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword from the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Master Hong Feng, and he was the chosen successor of the Divine Master’s mantle. Having condensed the eight Strongest Sword Hearts, he himself did not dare to claim the title of Sword God.

And yet, Wei Zongyuan, merely being taken as a direct disciple by the Demon Sky Sword God, was so arrogant as to dare claim the title of Sword God.

Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian and his companion flew toward the Celestial Burial Book Pavilion.

He wanted to take a look at the book left by the Celestial Burial Ancestor about the Celestial Burial Mountain and learn more about the Celestial Burial Mountain and the Innate Sword Formation therein.

On the way, Zuo Qiu briefed Yang Xiaotian about the intricate power dynamics within the Celestial Burial Academy, as well as some powerful old ancestors and incredibly talented geniuses.

Yang Xiaotian gained a clear understanding of the various powers within the Celestial Burial Academy.

However, just as the two of them arrived at the Academy’s Book Pavilion, they saw a few people approaching from afar, who stopped Yang Xiaotian from entering the Book Pavilion.

After stopping Yang Xiaotian, one of them took out a token.

There was nothing special about this token; it just had a sword engraved on it.

Upon seeing this token, Zuo Qiu’s face turned pale, “Sword God Command!”

The man saw that Zuo Qiu recognized the Sword God Command and unequivocally said to Yang Xiaotian, “You’re Yang Xiaotian, correct? To see this Command is as if you were seeing our young master himself. Since you recognize the Sword God Command, you should come with us; our young master wishes to see you.” He then made a gesture indicating that Yang Xiaotian should follow.

Yang Xiaotian glanced at the Sword God Command and said to the people, “I am going into the Book Pavilion to read. If he wants to see me, tell him to wait outside the Book Pavilion.”

“When I finish reading the book, I’ll consider whether or not to meet with him.”

The subordinates of Wei Zongyuan were flabbergasted and couldn’t believe what they had heard.

Yang Xiaotian actually expected their young master to wait outside of the Book Pavilion for him? And he wasn’t even certain he would meet him, only that he would consider it!

“Moreover, go back and tell Wei Zongyuan that he, a mere Martial Ancestor, dares to call himself Sword God and has you flaunt a Sword God Command to show off. If he doesn’t feel ashamed, I am embarrassed on his behalf,” Yang Xiaotian said.

The faces of Wei Zongyuan’s subordinates turned completely dark.

“Yang Xiaotian, how dare you!” bellowed one of them in a sudden rage.

In their eyes, their young master was an extraordinary figure; Yang Xiaotian had the audacity to have him wait outside the Book Pavilion.

The one holding the Sword God Command stopped the others and looked at Yang Xiaotian, “Are you certain you won’t go to meet our young master?” He then said, “You’d better think carefully. Offending our young master is like offending the entire Celestial Burial Academy.”

“At that point, you will find staying in the Celestial Burial Academy to continue your studies quite difficult!”

Yang Xiaotian let out a soft laugh, “Offending him is like offending the entire Celestial Burial Academy? The way you speak, it’s as if he is the dean of the Academy himself.”

He did not waste any more words with them and walked into the Book Pavilion.

Several of Wei Zongyuan’s subordinates watched as Yang Xiaotian entered the Book Pavilion, all with ugly looks on their faces.

“This Yang Xiaotian, he’s so disrespectful!” one of them said in a rage.

“Let’s go back and report to the young master,” said the one holding the Sword God Command.

So, the group turned around and flew back to Wei Zongyuan’s cave mansion.

Thus, as Yang Xiaotian entered the Book Pavilion to search for the book on Celestial Burial Mountain, they returned to Wei Zongyuan.

Wei Zongyuan was surprised that his Sword God Command could not summon Yang Xiaotian.

“Young Master, you don’t know how arrogant Yang Xiaotian is! He said if you want to see him, you need to wait outside the Book Pavilion,” one of them angrily said.

Wei Zongyuan’s expression remained calm, “Did he really say that?”

“He did indeed,” the subordinate holding the Sword God Command replied respectfully, “Moreover, he said that you, being merely a Martial Ancestor, dare to call yourself Sword God, flaunting your Sword God Command everywhere without feeling ashamed. He stated that he is embarrassed on your behalf.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Zongyuan’s entire body burst out with Sword Qi, and the stone stools in every corner of the courtyard were instantly cut into countless pieces.

“Young Master, shall we capture him and bring him before you?” one of them whispered.

Wei Zongyuan sneered, “Do you think I, Wei Zongyuan, need to resort to such methods to see someone?”

Several of them trembled and did not dare to say much more.

“Earth Flame!” Wei Zongyuan said coldly, “He thinks just because he has the Earth Flame, he can be on equal footing with me!”

“What a frog in a well!”

After Yang Xiaotian entered the Book Pavilion, he made his way to the highest floor of the pavilion.

Zuo Qiu followed behind Yang Xiaotian but couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He had truly not expected Yang Xiaotian to dare to refuse Wei Zongyuan.

However, he couldn’t access the highest floor of the Celestial Burial Book Pavilion; he could only wait on the first floor for Yang Xiaotian to be cautious of the book spirits. He warned Yang Xiaotian, advising him not to force his way if he couldn’t get through.

Normally, starting from the second floor, the Celestial Burial Book Pavilion would charge an entrance fee, but Yang Xiaotian was exempt from all costs. Hence, after declaring his identity, he reached the highest floor of the pavilion.

Upon entering the highest floor of the Book Pavilion, he made his way to the deepest part.

On his way, he encountered several powerful book spirits that blocked his path.

Yang Xiaotian did not summon the two Beast Gods, but merely had Master Ding protect him. Despite the bombardments of the book spirits, he reached the deepest part of the Book Pavilion without major incidents, where he found the book “Celestial Burial Mountain.”

Just as Yang Xiaotian was carefully perusing the book on Celestial Burial Mountain, news that Yang Xiaotian possessed the Earth Flame and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame spread rapidly throughout the Celestial Burial Academy.

The fact that Yang Xiaotian had declined Wei Zongyuan’s invitation was also spread around, and before long, Yang Xiaotian became the talk of the Academy among millions of students during their leisure time.

Since the only ones who could enjoy fee waivers at the academy were Yang Xiaotian and Wei Zongyuan, many compared the two.

While the outside world was abuzz with discussions, Yang Xiaotian was unaware, engrossed in the world of books within the pavilion.

By the time Yang Xiaotian emerged from the Book Pavilion, several days had passed.

This visit to the pavilion had been immensely fruitful. In the book on Celestial Burial Mountain, the Celestial Burial Ancestor had once described a scenario where the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder furiously bombarded the mountain, and for a brief moment, the Innate Sword Formation atop the mountain ceased.

In the instant when numerous strands of Innate Sword Qi dissipated, the shadow of an ancient cave mansion appeared.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that ancient cave mansion was the Azure God Cave Mansion.

The Azure God Cave Mansion was located deep inside the Innate Sword Formation of Celestial Burial Mountain.
