Yang Xiaotian arrived in front of the eleventh Stone Sword.

Soon, the Sword Qi soared to the sky.

After two days, the people of Divine Sword City once again witnessed the long-missed Sword Qi.

Seeing the Sword Qi reappear between Heaven and Earth, Gu Zhigang, the City Lord of Divine Sword City, was full of expectation, “I wonder how many Stone Swords this young fellow will comprehend this time.”

The experts of Divine Sword City, standing behind Peng Zhigang, struggled to remain composed as they looked at the soaring Sword Qi.

Two days ago, Yang Xiaotian had comprehended seven great Stone Swords in one day, and the scene with the ten million strands of Sword Qi lingering in the Nine Heavens was still shaking everyone’s hearts.

A few days earlier, their City Lord said that in ten years, Yang Xiaotian would become the number one expert in Divine Sea Country. They didn’t believe it, but now, no one doubted it any longer.

Inside the Sword Hall, upon hearing the news, Elder Chen Changqing, He Le, and the other three elders all came out from the depths of the Sword Hall and stood at the entrance, looking at the soaring Sword Qi.

“This child has finally begun comprehending the Stone Swords again,” He Le said with a mix of surprise and emotion as he watched the soaring Sword Qi, “If Lord Guo Jia were still here, seeing Xiaotian, I wonder what he would think.”

In the past, Guo Jia comprehended seventy-seven Stone Swords but always failed to comprehend the seventy-eighth. He eventually left the Divine Sword Academy, saying he would return later to comprehend the seventy-eighth Stone Sword.

But once he left, he never returned.

“Xiaotian might surpass Lord Guo Jia within three years,” Chen Changqing said with satisfaction, “In five years, he might even finish comprehending all one hundred Stone Swords.”

The inheritance of Sword Dao at the Hundred Swords Plaza actually involved the most profound secret of Divine Sword Academy.

Thinking about Yang Xiaotian eventually comprehending all one hundred Stone Swords, Chen Changqing and the others felt their hearts tremble.

According to the academy’s rules, comprehending thirty Stone Swords would qualify one to become a Sword Hall Elder, but what others did not know was that if a student could comprehend all one hundred Stone Swords, they would become the Master of the Sword Hall!

And then they would receive the inheritance of the Sword Hall!

“However, what if Xiaotian really manages to comprehend the thirtieth Stone Sword within a month?” asked Elder Ren Feixue, the third Elder and the only female among them.

Chen Changqing shook his head, “Starting from the eleventh Stone Sword, the difficulty of comprehension doubles. It’s possible that Yang Xiaotian could reach the twentieth Stone Sword within a month, but comprehending the thirtieth within a month is almost impossible.”

Just as Chen Changqing had said, starting from the eleventh Stone Sword, the difficulty of comprehension significantly increased. Compared to before, Yang Xiaotian’s comprehension of the eleventh Stone Sword was much slower.

However, even so, Yang Xiaotian still managed to comprehend the eleventh Stone Sword after two hours.

Next, Yang Xiaotian began to comprehend the twelfth Stone Sword.

The thirteenth, the fourteenth, the fifteenth!

In less than a day, Yang Xiaotian had comprehended the twentieth Stone Sword.

Seeing this result, Chen Changqing, He Le, Ren Feixue, and the others were dumbfounded.

This outcome far exceeded everyone’s initial judgment and speculation.

“I have greatly underestimated Xiaotian’s Sword Dao talent,” Chen Changqing said with a wry smile.

At this rate, Yang Xiaotian didn’t even need a month to fully comprehend thirty Stone Swords.

Thinking of the Divine Flame, Chen Changqing’s brow furrowed.

From the twenty-first Stone Sword onward, the difficulty of comprehension doubled once again.

Nevertheless, within less than two days, Yang Xiaotian still managed to comprehend the thirtieth Stone Sword.

After comprehending thirty Stone Swords, Yang Xiaotian relaxed his entire being.

Without taking the time to rest, he proceeded to the Sword Hall.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, Chen Changqing gave a wry smile.

“Elder Chen, I have comprehended thirty Stone Swords, and I hope you can tell me the location of the Divine Flame,” Yang Xiaotian said politely with a salute.

Chen Changqing hesitated for a while before finally sighing, “Well, since you’re so persistent about the Divine Flame, I will tell you.” Then he said, “I know that the Thunder Tribulation Divine Flame is in the Red Moon Forest.”

“`

“Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire!” Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.

Currently, more than thirty kinds of Divine Flames are known.

The Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire ranks very high among them, at fourteenth.

“That’s right, the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire!” Chen Changqing said, “Back in the day when I was traveling in Red Moon Forest, I entered the Heavenly Tribulation Cave and saw the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire.”

“Heavenly Tribulation Cave!” Yang Xiaotian seemed to have read about the Heavenly Tribulation Cave in some books.

“Yes, the Heavenly Tribulation Cave.” Chen Changqing spoke with a complex expression, “Legend has it that a supreme warrior was breaking through to the Martial God Realm in the Red Moon Forest when the heavenly tribulation descended, blasting a bottomless pit into the ground, which over long years, formed the Heavenly Tribulation Cave.”

“Despite the passage of time, for some reason, the force of the heavenly tribulation persists within the cave.”

“The Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire is located somewhere inside the Heavenly Tribulation Cave.”

Chen Changqing cautioned Yang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, though your Sword Dao talent is exceptional, your strength is too weak. You simply can’t enter the Heavenly Tribulation Cave, and even if you could, you definitely wouldn’t be able to tame the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire.”

Then he shook his head and said, “You shouldn’t go!”

But Yang Xiaotian asked, “Elder Chen, is there really no one in the world who can tame a Divine Flame?”

Chen Changqing nodded, his face very grave, “Divine Flames can burn everything in heaven and earth, even warriors as powerful as Martial Gods cannot tame them.”

A heaviness settled in Yang Xiaotian’s heart.

Even Martial Gods can’t tame them?

It seemed that his previous thoughts had been too naive.

After a while, Yang Xiaotian left the Sword Hall and returned to his residence, but he was still thinking about the Divine Flame.

Now that he knew where the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire was located, but couldn’t tame it, he felt truly unwilling to accept it.

“Actually, it’s not impossible for you to tame the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire,” suddenly, a voice sounded from within Yang Xiaotian’s mind.

The voice was abrupt, and Yang Xiaotian was startled, “Who?!” He sprang to his feet and searched the courtyard, but he saw no one.

“Hehe.” At that moment, the voice continued in Yang Xiaotian’s mind, “You don’t need to look; I am in your hand.”

In my hand?!

Yang Xiaotian was taken aback, then looked at the Medicine Cauldron on his finger.

Could it be?

“Is it you?!” Yang Xiaotian was incredulous.

“That’s right, it’s me,” the voice of the Medicine Cauldron continued to resonate.

Yang Xiaotian found it unbelievable.

He had never imagined that a Medicine Cauldron could actually speak.

“When things of heaven and earth reach a certain realm, they all have spirit intelligence. It’s not strange that I can speak,” the Medicine Cauldron said.

Yang Xiaotian was still struggling to come to terms with it; the Medicine Cauldron had been obtained by Hong Feng in a perilous place, and even Hong Feng didn’t know its origin. Until now, aside from using it for alchemy and storage, Yang Xiaotian had never considered that the Medicine Cauldron might possess spirit intelligence.

Is it a Divine Artifact?

“A Divine Artifact?” the Medicine Cauldron made a scoffing sound, “You’re really underestimating Master Ding, how could something as lowly as a Divine Artifact compare to my standing.”

Yang Xiaotian’s heart pounded furiously.

This Medicine Cauldron was even more powerful than a Divine Artifact?

“If you want to tame the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire, I can help you.” At this point, the Medicine Cauldron spoke in a very imposing manner, “As long as I take action, the mere Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire is nothing to fuss over.”

Yang Xiaotian’s heart surged with joy.

“However,” the Medicine Cauldron paused, then continued, “in return, you will need to help me find some things.”
