Choosing a successor!

Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.

This was about the succession to the Empire Alchemy Hall!

It was a position second only to one person, but above millions.

“The news of the auction and the Empire Pharmacists’ Competition has gone crazy in the Empire,” Luo Qing said excitedly, “Young Master, if you could inherit the Empire Alchemy Hall, what would there be to fear from Wang Zhou!”

Yang Xiaotian shook his head.

It was not easy to become the successor of the Empire Alchemy Hall.

The Empire Alchemy Hall had a complex network of power, with the great elders coming from various major forces, and even Shi Yongping, the Grand Hall Master of the Empire Alchemy Hall, couldn’t just appoint someone as the successor.

However, since the Empire Pharmacists’ Competition this time was offering the Earth Flame as a reward, it was worth participating in.

If he could get the Earth Flame, plus the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame he already possessed, then he would have two of the top ten Abnormal Fires!

If one could gather all of the top ten Abnormal Fires on the Abnormal Fire List, what a scene it would be during alchemy when all ten great Abnormal Fires were unleashed simultaneously.

“Those people, have you found them?” Yang Xiaotian then asked Luo Qing, referring to the group of Martial Kings who had attacked his residence.

Luo Qing shook his head: “I’ve already put out a million in rewards, and even contacted Dark Dragon, but there’s still no news; those people have vanished into thin air.”

Dark Dragon was the largest intelligence organization in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom.

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

He too knew that to root out those people and their backers was no easy task.

Since both the Empire Pharmacists’ Competition and the auction were to be held next month,

there was still time, and Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to rush to the Empire but instead went to the highest level of the Tiandou Academy Scripture Pavilion to peruse other Supreme Divine Powers of the Tiandou Academy.

The Tiandou Academy, other than the Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power from the Sword Tower, had over thirty other Supreme Divine Powers in the Scripture Pavilion.

By now, he had learned over sixty Supreme Divine Powers, and if he mastered all of the thirty or so Supreme Divine Powers from the Tiandou Academy Scripture Pavilion, he would have a total of one hundred.

Although one must cultivate thirty Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery to condense the strongest superior Golden Core, still, the more Supreme Divine Powers he mastered, the more it would help him condense the strongest superior Golden Core.

The first Supreme Divine Power Yang Xiaotian perused was the “Tiandou Sword Technique.”

He quickly finished reading the Tiandou Sword Technique and couldn’t help but lament that the Tiandou Sword Technique, as the strongest swordsmanship of the Tiandou Academy, was indeed remarkable, but regrettably, without the Tiandou Sword, its true power couldn’t be unleashed.

Several days later, Yang Xiaotian finally mastered all of the thirty or so Supreme Divine Powers available in the Scripture Pavilion.

When Yang Xiaotian walked out of the Book Pavilion, he saw Fan Riquan waiting for him.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, Fan Riquan smiled warmly, “You’re out.” He knew that Yang Xiaotian had been perusing Supreme Divine Powers in the Book Pavilion for the past few days and took out several Supreme Divine Powers: “These Supreme Divine Powers were fortuitous gains from my younger days.”

Yang Xiaotian intended to decline, but Fan Riquan shook his head and said, “For hundreds of years, no one from the Tiandou Academy has ever been able to condense a superior Golden Core, and I hope you can break that precedent.”

Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian accepted them.

Fan Riquan hesitated for a moment, then said, “Over the years, I’ve been investigating the whereabouts of the Tiandou Sword and have some clues.”

“The Tiandou Sword should be with the Sky-Stepping Sect.”

Yang Xiaotian was greatly surprised, “With the Sky-Stepping Sect!”

Fan Riquan nodded, “Decades ago, the previous dean of our Tiandou Academy mysteriously disappeared, and the Tiandou Sword he carried vanished with him. However, throughout my years of investigation, I’ve discovered that he had been murdered—and the killer is Tian Chong, the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect!”

On saying this, Fan Riquan gave a bitter smile.

Although he knew the killer and even had evidence, the murderer was Tian Chong, the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect; he wouldn’t dare approach the Sky-Stepping Sect to demand the Tiandou Sword even if he had ten thousand times the courage.

“Tian Chong,” Yang Xiaotian murmured.

“This Tian Chong is not only the second elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect but also a master from our Empire’s Tian Family. Right, he’s Tian Meiling’s granduncle,” Fan Riquan said.

Yang Xiaotian was astonished.

Tian Meiling’s granduncle?

After a moment of silence, Yang Xiaotian said, “Vice President, rest assured, if I ever get the chance, I will retrieve the Tiandou Sword for Tiandou Academy.”

Fan Riquan expressed his gratitude, “Thank you.”

After parting ways with Fan Riquan, Yang Xiaotian was about to leave the Academy when Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong approached from a distance. Guo Wei looked at Yang Xiaotian coldly, “Yang Xiaotian, the three of us wish to battle you. Do you dare?”

Yang Xiaotian glanced at the three of them and said indifferently, “The three of you?”

“Yes!” Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, “Indeed, we are not your match in one-on-one combat, but the three of us together—do you dare?”

Xiao Yong said coldly, “If you lose, leave the Controlling Dragon Sword behind!”

Yang Xiaotian looked at the three of them, “What if you three lose?”

Guo Wei replied, “If we lose, everything we have on us is yours,” he then took a deep breath, “including the Emperor Sword and the Green Sea Sword.”

Yang Xiaotian smiled, “Okay!”

And so, the four of them headed over to the square.

The news that Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, and Xiao Yong were joining hands to fight against Yang Xiaotian spread, and the teachers and students of Tiandou Academy were in an uproar, all rushing to the square.

In the center of the ring in the square, Yang Xiaotian watched Guo Wei and the others coldly, knowing that they dared to challenge him despite being aware that he possessed a Black Flood Dragon King of the Emperor Realm. This clearly meant they had someone backing them up.

The Subduing Dragon Sword Sect?

He knew that Xiao Yong’s granduncle was the Supreme Elder of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect.

One of the Empire’s top ten Supreme Sects, even an Elder at the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect held enough clout to summon the wind and rain in the Empire, let alone the Supreme Elder.

Just then, an Emperor Sword and a Green Sea Sword appeared in Guo Wei’s hands, and suddenly, a sword light surged in his chest.

It was five Sword Hearts!

“Five Sword Hearts! Guo Wei has actually condensed five Sword Hearts!” Everyone was shaken to see that Guo Wei had successfully condensed a fifth Sword Heart.

Having seven Sword Hearts was a rare feat in the world, and Guo Wei, at just over twenty years old, had condensed five Sword Hearts – this was absolutely shocking for the Empire.

At this moment, Lin Xiao began chanting in silence, and as space split open, his Fierce Beast, Zhu Yan, emerged from within. During their last battle, Zhu Yan was at the late eight-layer stage of the Martial King realm, but now, astonishingly, it had reached the peak of the Martial King tenth layer!

What was even more surprising was that another huge Three-Eyed Demon Tiger followed behind the Fierce Beast.

It was also at the peak of the Martial King tenth layer!

“Lin Xiao, he’s actually controlling two Fierce Beasts! Both are at the peak of the Martial King tenth layer!” Seeing Lin Xiao summon two Fierce Beasts at once, the crowd was equally shocked.

Then, Xiao Yong’s body surged with starlight, and above in the high sky, a towering star deity appeared, with a terrifying divine might enveloping heaven and earth.

At the same time, Xiao Yong spurred the Stars Infinity Technique with all his might.

As Xiao Yong activated the Stars Infinity Technique, the sun disappeared above the Nine Heavens, and starlight fell down. The power of the stars was vast like the ocean, forming a barrier around.

“This is the Star Barrier! Only by cultivating the Stars Infinity Technique to the tenth layer can one condense such a Star Barrier!” Some knowledgeable teachers exclaimed in shock upon seeing this, “With this barrier, the power of the stars is inexhaustible, and no one can break through!”

The crowd was astonished.

No one can break through!

Was Xiao Yong then in an invincible position?!
