Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Zhao Rong Covers the Sky with One Hand

Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Zhao Rong Covers the Sky with One Hand

“The number one expert of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect has cultivated fourteen types of Sword Intent!” Even Yang Xiaotian was astonished.

This Zhao Rong is so strong!

One must know, even Lord Xi Long of the Azure God Mansion, who is a Sword God, has only cultivated twelve types of Sword Intent.

The Hundred Flowers Sword Saint from the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect has only cultivated eleven types of Sword Intent.

“It is said so,” said Li Le with a solemn expression. “However, some have speculated that Zhao Rong is still hiding his true strength and has probably cultivated fifteen types of Sword Intent.”

Yang Xiaotian was stunned, “Fifteen types of Sword Intent!”

“Yes,” nodded Li Le. “It has been said that Zhao Rong’s talent in the Sword Dao is second only to Divine Master Hong Feng.”

Only second to Master Hong Feng, the Divine Master?

Yang Xiaotian’s brow furrowed.

“Rumors have it that Divine Master Hong Feng had the intention to pass on the position of Sect Hierarch to Zhao Rong, but for some reason, he did not in the end,” Li Le continued. “However, it was right of Divine Master Hong Feng not to pass on the position of Sect Hierarch to Zhao Rong.”

“Why’s that?” asked Yang Xiaotian.

“Zhao Rong is someone with great ambition. Although he’s only been the acting Sect Hierarch for half a year, he’s been everywhere recruiting experts, aiming to unify the Myriad Swords Continent,” Li Le explained. “Moreover, his methods are brutal. As for sects and families that refuse to submit, he annihilated them overnight.”

“Like the Silver Moon Sect, which refused to submit and was exterminated by the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, sparing not even women and children. After they destroyed the Silver Moon Sect, seeing that my Poison Shadow Sect would not submit, they framed us, claiming that it was my Poison Shadow Sect that had annihilated the Silver Moon Sect.”

Yang Xiaotian’s expression darkened, “Do the other experts of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect just stand by and do nothing?”

Li Le shook his head. “Before Zhao Rong became the acting Sect Hierarch, he had a very high status and prestige within the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect. Many powerful individuals supported him, and even the Sun Moon Holy King was his right-hand man. Now that he has become the acting Sect Hierarch, his authority is absolute–who would dare to criticize him?”

“In the future, even if someone obtains the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword and manages to control it, I fear they will still find it difficult to take charge of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect.”

“Because Zhao Rong has too much prestige within the sect; he overshadows everyone, and all members of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect are loyal only to him.”

Yang Xiaotian’s brow was locked tight.

This was exactly what he had been worried about.

Even if he were to obtain the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword and control it, commanding and controlling the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect would still be very difficult.

Moreover, he is currently only at the Emperor Realm. Even if he reveals the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword, it would hardly be convincing.

The Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect boasts numerous experts, including several Sword God powerhouses.

How could these Sword God powerhouses possibly submit to someone at the Emperor Realm?

If he were to reveal the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword, Zhao Rong would likely be the first to attack him and then snatch the sword away.

If Zhao Rong has cultivated fifteen types of Sword Intent, his strength might already be on par with the Abyssal Master.

Even Master Ding might find it difficult to deal with him.

Besides, he didn’t have a hundred bottles of Tribulation Thunder Water with him anymore.

In the past few days, when attacking the Son of Nether God Yan Ping, Undying Death God, and Di Yuntian, he had already used a lot of Tribulation Thunder Water.

Yang Xiaotian then inquired about many details regarding Zhao Rong and the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect. The more he heard, the less optimistic he felt. Originally, the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect had split into three factions, the largest one being Zhao Rong’s. Another was led by his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, and the last consisted of the sect enforcers and elders.

However, now that Zhao Rong had become the acting Sect Hierarch, all the elders and enforcers of the entire Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect obeyed his command.

The two continued walking and talking.

Without realizing it, the sky had darkened.

“Is your Poison Shadow Sect far from here?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

Li Le was startled, then said joyfully, “Not far at all, Sect Leader. Once we cross this mountain peak, we’ll be there soon.”

He pointed towards the mountain peak in front of them.

Yang Xiaotian and another flew past the mountain peak in front, but it still took them about half an hour to arrive.

Is this what Li Le calls ‘not far’?

Upon Li Le’s return, the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Poison Shadow Sect couldn’t help but cheer.

The numerous experts of the Poison Shadow Sect all came excitedly to pay homage to Yang Xiaotian, respectfully hailing him as Sect Leader.

It seemed that Yang Xiaotian, the master of the Netherworld Demon Sect, could not refuse the title even if he wanted to.

Originally, Yang Xiaotian came to the Myriad Swords Continent to take control of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect, yet now he had become the Sect Leader of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

However, even though the Netherworld Demon Sect had been annihilated in ancient times, the remnants of its power were still strong. According to Li Le, many of the Myriad Swords Continent’s super-demons were descendants of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

Such as the Titan Giant Demon!

Or even the White Bone Sword God, ranked forty-ninth on the Sword God List.

Even the forebears of the supreme demon, the Yin Yang Demon, were from the Netherworld Demon Sect.

If Yang Xiaotian could gather these people, it would also be a formidable force.

That night, Yang Xiaotian stood inside the palace arranged by Li Le, yet his thoughts were on the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect.

The control of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect by Zhao Rong weighed heavily on him, and he needed to quickly gather the fifteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies and cultivate the Primordial Heaven Destiny God Body.

Therefore, when the Destiny Temple opened, he must find the Destiny God Tree and Destiny God Fruit.

Only by doing so could he make a rapid breakthrough to the pinnacle of the tenth layer of the Emperor Realm, gathering the fifteen Mixed Primordial Life Destinies and cultivating the Heavenly Fate Divine Body.

As for assembling those super-demons from the Netherworld Demon Sect, he shouldn’t even think about it.

The submission of the Poison Shadow Sect did not mean those super-demons would recognize him as their Sect Leader of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

If those super-demons knew he possessed the Netherworld Ring, they might even come to kill him and snatch the Netherworld Ring away.

Yang Xiaotian cut off all kinds of thoughts, calmed his mind, took a Heavenly Emperor Pill, and continued his cultivation.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotian stayed within the Poison Shadow Sect and focused on cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art and Netherworld Divine Art, practicing various sword techniques, and studying the various notes and Secret Tomes of the Netherworld Grandmaster.

Originally, Yang Xiaotian was concerned that Young Emperor Qian would lead the experts of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect to seek revenge, but as many days passed, there was no sign of the Young Emperor Qian.

This, in turn, allowed Yang Xiaotian to focus on his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian asked Li Le to help him find out the whereabouts of the Divine Flame, Divine Elixirs, and nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.

Li Le was stunned for quite a while when Yang Xiaotian asked him to find out the whereabouts of the Divine Flame, Divine Elixirs, and nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.

“Just make an effort to find out,” Yang Xiaotian said, “Also, I will be in seclusion to cultivate for these days. Come and call for me the day before the Destiny Temple opens.”

“Sect Leader is planning to enter the Destiny Temple?” Li Le asked in surprise, “The Destiny Temple is extremely dangerous, and Zhao Rong and other experts from the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sect might be there too!”

Zhao Rong would be going too?

Yang Xiaotian nodded, “I know, just come and call for me when it’s time.”

Seeing that he could not persuade Yang Xiaotian, Li Le could only reluctantly agree.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed by.

There was only one day left until the Destiny Temple opened, and Li Le came to call for Yang Xiaotian.

“Sect Leader, let us accompany you,” Li Le still expressed his worry.

“No need, just wait for me at the Sect,” Yang Xiaotian shook his head, then, breaking through the air, he hurriedly flew towards Destiny Divine Island at great speed.
