Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 274: 274 Buddha Source Empire

Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Buddha Source Empire

After staying in Lei City for ten days, Yang Xiaotian and his companions set off to return to the True Dragon Divine Sect.

Upon returning to the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian informed the Huang Family and others that he was going to the Buddha Source Empire.

“What, going to the Buddha Source Empire!” Yang Chao and the others were hugely startled upon hearing this.

Having grown up in the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Chao and Huang Ying had come to learn about the Azure God Continent and knew that the Buddha Source Empire was an extremely distant empire from the Divine Dragon Empire.

“Yes, the Buddha Source Empire,” Yang Xiaotian mused. “This time I leave, it may take two years.”

Two years!

Yang Chao and Huang Ying fell silent.

However, they also knew that their son must have important reasons to go to the Buddha Source Empire, so although they were worried, they did not try to dissuade him further.

“Xiaotian, you must be careful out there,” Huang Ying instructed.

“Rest assured, Mother,” Yang Xiaotian nodded. “While I am away, you and Father must also be cautious.” He then advised them not to leave the True Dragon Divine Sect unless necessary.

He had already activated the power of the nineteen Sword Steles of the Sword Path. With the power of the Sword Path protecting them, the True Dragon Divine Sect should be safe.

The next day, under the reluctant farewell of Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and Yang Ling’er, Yang Xiaotian left the True Dragon Divine Sect.

Since the journey was far too long, Yang Xiaotian did not allow Wu Qi, Xiao Jin, and others to follow.

Xiao Jin licked his lollipop, crying his heart out.

Finally, the little fellow cried out, “Young Master, if there are lollipops in the Buddha Source Empire, remember to buy me some.”

Yang Xiaotian was speechless.

After leaving the True Dragon Divine Sect, Yang Xiaotian traveled non-stop and soon entered the Four States Empire.

In recent days, the Four States Imperial Family had already allied with the Sky-Stepping Sect.

Therefore, when passing through the Imperial Capital of the Four States Empire, Yang Xiaotian let the Iceflame Kylin and the Azure Thunder Python bombard the Four States Imperial Palace like crazy, frightening the Four States Great Emperor into scrambling for cover.

After a bout of bombardment, Yang Xiaotian did not linger for a fight and left with the two beasts.

After leaving the Four States Empire, Yang Xiaotian traveled with stops in between, cultivating while on the road. After passing through one empire after another, he finally arrived at the border of the Buddha Source Empire.

By then, three months had passed since Yang Xiaotian left the True Dragon Divine Sect.

In these three months, not only had Yang Xiaotian’s strength broken through to the peak of the Martial Ancestor’s tenth level, but he had also cultivated both the Thunderclap Nine Heavens and the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique to the fortieth move.

“Only nine moves left,” Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.

Just nine more moves, and he would have fully cultivated the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.

If he could fully cultivate the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique, he would be able to take charge of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect.

The Azure Thunder Python had told him that there was a branch of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect in the Buddha Source Empire.

Yang Xiaotian entered a border city of the Buddha Source Empire, where he saw Buddha statues and temples everywhere amongst the buildings.

The Buddha Source Empire was one that primarily cultivated Buddhism and swordsmanship.

Perhaps due to being on the frontier, the city had less population, not as bustling as Yang Xiaotian had imagined.

However, as Yang Xiaotian was walking down the street, a shabbily dressed young boy approached from the front. The boy walked past Yang Xiaotian.

As the boy passed by Yang Xiaotian, his hand skillfully snatched the spatial storage bag from Yang Xiaotian’s waist.

His hands moved extremely fast and soundlessly. Ordinary Martial Ancestor masters probably wouldn’t have noticed.

But Yang Xiaotian’s soul power had grown astonishingly strong by now.

So, how could he possibly be fooled by Yang Xiaotian?

Therefore, as the boy skillfully snatched the spatial storage bag and was about to leave, Yang Xiaotian quickly grabbed the back of the thief’s collar.

The boy did not expect to be caught by Yang Xiaotian, and after being momentarily stunned, he did not panic but chuckled, “Young Master, that spatial storage bag of yours is quite nice-looking.”

However, he did not return the storage bag to Yang Xiaotian, smiling, “I haven’t had a full meal in days, kind sir, please give me a few Gold Coins so I can have a good meal.”

Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. He had encountered thieves before, but never one so brazen.

Caught red-handed, yet the thief still dared to smile cheekily and haggle with him.

“Oh, you haven’t had a full meal in days?” Yang Xiaotian looked at the boy with a smile.

“Yes, look how skinny my arms and legs are,” the boy said, rolling up his sleeves to show his arms to Yang Xiaotian.

Indeed, they were somewhat thin, but as delicate and tender as a girl’s arms.

Yang Xiaotian smiled, “Do you know of any taverns nearby?”

Upon hearing this, joy spread across the boy’s face, “I know, I know, there’s a tavern nearby with really good drinks,” saying this, he returned the spatial storage bag to Yang Xiaotian and then led him onwards.

The boy was very enthusiastic.

Yang Xiaotian followed the boy to the tavern he mentioned, and there they ordered a plate of good liquor and dishes, chatting as they ate.

Through their conversation, Yang Xiaotian learned that the boy’s name was Zuo Qiu and that he was two years older than him. However, what puzzled Yang Xiaotian was that Zuo Qiu appeared to be a scion of some noble family, with substantial cultivation and solid foundation. He wondered why such a person would be dressed like this and engaging in theft.

“Zuo Qiu, I’d like to ask you about something,” Yang Xiaotian said.

Zuo Qiu immediately responded with a laugh, slapping his chest, “Brother, just ask. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Yang Xiaotian smiled and asked, “Do you know of Celestial Burial Mountain?”

Although he knew the Azure God Cave Mansion was on Celestial Burial Mountain, he did not know where Celestial Burial Mountain was in the Buddha Source Empire.

Zuo Qiu was startled for a moment, “Celestial Burial Mountain? What do you need to find Celestial Burial Mountain for?”

Seeing Zuo Qiu’s reaction, Yang Xiaotian felt elated.

Clearly, Zuo Qiu knew about Celestial Burial Mountain.

He had also been concerned that after a million years, Celestial Burial Mountain might have disappeared into the river of history or been renamed. If that were the case, it would be troublesome to find it later.
