Chapter 467: Xiaoqing Takes Human Form!

To practice the Trembling Sword, one must combine soul force with the physical body, accompanied by the divine sound of the Great Dao, to master it. When the sword art is perfected, it can envelop the surroundings, casting a net that covers heaven and earth—an extremely fearsome sword technique.

"Such a formidable sword art, but it's a pity there's only one form." Yang Tian clicked his tongue, and just as he was about to sigh, he suddenly laughed at himself inwardly—merely the first form was already extremely difficult to master.

"This probably doesn't belong to the nine volumes of the supreme Daoist scriptures." Yang Tian rubbed the silver page with his palm. Though its hardness was terrifying, he sensed a considerable gap in material quality compared to the golden pages.

"It seems that when I'm stronger, I'll have to make a trip to the Demon Spirit Sect. Maybe they have other sword techniques." Sighing, Yang Tian murmured to himself, "There's still half a year left. I'll focus all my efforts on improving my strength!"

Yang Tian immersed his mind into the Dao Body Secret Canon, comprehending its artistic conception. He knew nothing of swordsmanship, and Black Demon merely drove it with brute force. On this continent, very few people practiced the sword.

Within the Ancestral Dragon Ring, everything was peaceful. The fluctuations radiating from Xiaoqing grew increasingly powerful, and the time for her to take human form was not far off.

In that icy pool, the strange rocks within absorbed the cold energy, and the surrounding primordial aura also had a considerable effect on them. Faint sounds of living beings stirring could be heard from within.

In the valley, Yun'er had entered seclusion. Her strength was not far from the War Emperor realm. She had to break through within half a year, otherwise, the Dao God Mountain would be an extremely difficult path.

In a tiger's den, Big Tiger had devoured many precious medicines. Light sprayed from his mouth and nose, and his entire body was dense with essence energy.

Before him, however, was a ball of demonic fire containing a chaotic mix of refining materials. A fierce aura of slaughter emanated from his surroundings. The White Tiger governs slaughter, and Big Tiger also intended to forge a sword of slaughter.

"Hmm, I need to train hard. If I can't break through in half a year, Yang Tian might abandon me," Big Tiger muttered softly. He had set his sights on Yang Tian; even a divine beast followed him, so why not Big Tiger?

Time passed very quickly. Within the Ancestral Dragon Ring, five days had flowed by. At this moment, a faint trembling sound emanated from Yang Tian's body, but it was extremely subtle.

Another five days passed, and the faint trembling around Yang Tian gradually intensified. That distant tremor carried a trace of soul pressure, but it was very faint. Mastering this sword art would require considerable effort.

Buzz! In front of Yang Tian, who sat cross-legged, Black Demon occasionally emitted a soft trembling sound, containing a hint of the faint divine sound of the Great Dao. This sound gradually grew stronger at a moderate pace.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. The entire Chaos Capital was no longer what it used to be. Geniuses from various great clans gathered, and many terrifyingly powerful clans from the Central Region sent their most outstanding disciples to the Chaos Capital.

The various divine mountains were also in turmoil. The offspring of many terrifying beings also came, eager to enter the Dao God Mountain and obtain the astonishing divine treasures.

On the other hand, the demon race, which had caused quite a stir some time ago, had completely vanished after the battle at the Li family, hiding in some unknown corner.

The most attention-grabbing was the Candleblood Demon Palace. A powerful figure had once made a trip there, but Long Yang's forces had already disappeared.

The Dao God Mountain, a divine mountain that had stood from the ancient times to the present, remained unshaken. It contained countless rare treasures, and its heaven and earth essence was extremely terrifying. Every time it opened, it would attract people from across the entire continent.

The Dao God Mountain had always been a great secret on the continent. It contained countless formations, and various precious lands were guarded by great arrays. To obtain treasures within, one had to break the formations.

Every time this divine mountain closed, it would wander across the continent. And when it opened again, the formations inside would miraculously restore themselves—a fact that left countless people astonished, as if it were man-made.

Within the Ancestral Dragon Ring, the entire void was filled with trembling sounds, clanging incessantly like the clash of swords, and giving a sense of tearing at the soul, capable of twisting one's mind—extremely formidable.

Although two months had passed in the outside world, a year had passed inside. Yang Tian had returned to his old habits: opening the furnace to refine pills every day, comprehending the Trembling Sword, and training his physical body beside the strange rock.

Despite the year, Yang Tian's sixth Dao body had yet to emerge. He had a premonition that if he didn't break through to the War Emperor realm, it would be difficult to manifest the sixth Dao body.

Although Yang Tian's cultivation hadn't progressed much, his training of the soul body hadn't lagged behind. He had devoured the soul body of that mighty expert and was only half a step away from reaching the peak of the Soul Refining realm.

Yang Tian's alchemy had also improved greatly. He could now refine fifth-grade pills, but his success rate for intermediate ones was still not high. Without Yang Xiao's guidance, his alchemy progressed slowly.

At this moment, Yang Tian sat cross-legged by the cold pool. His entire aura was steady, but a faint divine might emanated from him, giving a sense that he should not be underestimated.

Buzz! Above Yang Tian's head, the Black Demon Sword trembled continuously, producing visible ripples like layers of great waves, swirling endlessly through the void.

The area he enveloped was extremely vast. A full thousand zhang of the void around him was completely covered. This sword technique required the coordination of soul force. Although the coverage was wide, the consumption of soul force was enormous.

After a while of breathing exercises, Yang Tian slowly opened his eyes. A brilliant golden light shone through. His gaze was sharp, carrying a different quality—as sharp as a sword, with a hint of sword intent seeping out.

When his eyes opened and closed, they were extremely piercing. Those strands of golden light were like indestructible golden swords, very formidable, giving a sense of mental intimidation.

"Ah, I didn't expect it to take so long. It seems the secret scriptures of the Dao Scripture are not so easy to cultivate." His gaze fell on the trembling Black Demon Sword in the void, and Yang Tian sighed.

"But now that I have a foundation, it will be easier to master other sword techniques if I find them later." After a moment of silence, Yang Tian slowly stood up, stretched, and said softly.

At this moment, he walked forward. Here, golden mist surged, vitality was extremely旺盛, accompanied by divine sounds like thunder, enveloping the entire space of several hundred zhang.

"Ah..." At this moment, a little doll carved from jade and powder walked over. The Little Divine Herb was very happy. These days, the severe injuries inside her had recovered considerably, and she no longer had to worry constantly about her lifespan.

Yang Tian rubbed the Little Divine Herb's head, then turned his gaze to Xiaoqing's location. After observing for a while, he nodded slightly: "It should be ready to take human form in a little while."

"Divine beasts really aren't something just anyone can nurture." At this moment, Yang Tian glanced at the remaining divine liquid, which was not much, and sighed inwardly. This divine liquid could no longer be used; it was a precious medicine for saving lives.

As the divine energy radiating from Xiaoqing grew increasingly terrifying, a startling fluctuation emanated from within. Xiaoqing was slowly awakening, like a giant dragon, extremely powerful.

"Chirp!" With a sky-shaking cry, Yang Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. He waved his hand and moved Xiaoqing's body to the outside.

When a divine beast takes human form, its cultivation undergoes a qualitative change, requiring an extremely terrifying amount of energy. With Yang Tian's current resources, he could no longer support Xiaoqing's awakening.

Outside, in a cave filled with surging murderous aura, a clanging sound could be heard from time to time, with large sparks flying, and a slaughterous aura soaring to the sky, seizing one's heart and soul.

Zooming in, it was a palm-sized golden sword, containing ten thousand layers of slaughterous aura, extremely extraordinary.

The artifacts of the demon race were somewhat different from those of humans. Their refining methods all came from inherited imprints, somewhat similar to Fatty's big bone.

"Tsk tsk, after I take human form, if I forge my shed tiger teeth into treasures, that would be perfect." Big Tiger chuckled oddly, very satisfied with this golden sword—a holy artifact for sneak attacks.

Just as he was secretly pleased, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood on end. He was startled, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest. This was a great terror, a pressure from the soul.

"Who is it?" Big Tiger shrieked, his copper-bell-like eyes standing upright, afraid that some powerful being had targeted him, intending to skin him alive and brew tiger meat soup.

"This is..." At this moment, Big Tiger's gaze fell on the figure that had appeared. After cautiously observing for a while, when he noticed the divine being in the void, he shot out with a whoosh.

"Roar..." Big Tiger was extremely excited. This was the offspring of a divine beast, with limitless potential in the future. Naturally, he had to build a good relationship.

"Behave yourself." Seeing this, Yang Tian glared at the bouncing Big Tiger, then looked up at the sky. The heaven and earth essence of the entire valley was all drawn in.

The entire sky was packed with golden light, like layers of golden waves crashing. In the very center, it was like a terrifying small sun, extremely radiant. The inside was unclear and dazzling, making it impossible to look directly.

"Chirp!" Sky-rending cries came one after another. Xiaoqing was devouring the essence of the ten directions, like a demon god, charging with full force. The heaven and earth energy needed for taking human form was too much.

"So this is a divine beast—too powerful." Big Tiger was very alarmed. His bloodline was suppressed, but deep within, a bloodline of slaughter surged faintly, though it was too faint and weak to activate easily.

The commotion in the valley was so great that even Yun'er, who had been in cultivation, was awakened. Her big eyes widened as she scanned the golden ocean in the void, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

"Xiaoqing is about to take human form!" Yun'er leaped up, like a willow catkin, appearing before Yang Tian. She had been in seclusion for two months, continuously absorbing the energy from her inheritance.

"Yun'er, quickly open the surrounding formations." At this moment, Yang Tian noticed that Xiaoqing's absorption speed was too terrifying and said to Yun'er with a smile.

Hearing this, Yun'er nodded. She stepped into the void, her jade hands moving slightly, activating the surrounding concealment formations.

Rumble! The entire valley shook and trembled. Chaotic rocks flew through the air, clouds burst apart, and strands of divine fluctuations spread out, surging in all directions.

A full thousand zhang of the void was filled with golden waves crashing, like divine mountains colliding—a scene that seized one's heart and soul.

"Chirp!" The cries were like thunder, resounding through heaven and earth. Xiaoqing roared, shaking mountains and rivers, devouring the essence of the eight directions. The aura within her climbed unceasingly.

"Just by this absorption speed, Xiaoqing is a notch below Xiaobai." Scratching his head, Yang Tian murmured inwardly.

The energy contained in the Sun Divine Fire was incomparable to heaven and earth essence. The Devouring Divine Beast was said to devour everything, even the sun and moon.

Big Tiger howled loudly, continuously crushed by the divine nature in the void. The White Tiger bloodline deep within his bloodline leaped, as if about to break free.

"It seems Uncle Xiao was right. If a strange beast lives near a divine beast for a long time, its bloodline will also undergo a qualitative change, let alone Big Tiger, who has a trace of White Tiger blood."

Noticing Big Tiger's change, Yang Tian clicked his tongue and thought to himself: "No wonder Big Tiger wanted to follow the Golden-haired War Ape—it's very effective for his growth."

In the void, golden tides surged, precious light soared, and powerful life force awakened, intimidating all living beings for ten directions. They all prostrated on the ground, worshiping, not daring to move an inch.

In a distant stretch of void, it suddenly trembled, and a figure stepped out from within. His entire body was radiant, his life force as powerful as an ocean.

"Eh?" At this moment, his golden eyes opened and closed like a heavenly blade rising and falling. This person was extremely terrifying, his breath like thunder, powerful.

"It's actually a Roc. Why would it take human form here? Which lineage does it belong to?" He murmured, very surprised. His eyes remained cold, unlike human pupils.

"Brother Peng, what's wrong?" At this moment, a majestic voice resounded, echoing through heaven and earth. The surrounding living beings trembled in fear.
