Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Attacking the Azure God Continent
“Yes, my father and Uncle Tian still haven’t returned!” Donghuang Xiu said with reddened eyes, “We have already dispatched experts to search for them, but there has been no news!”
“Moreover, the overseas armies have heavily sealed off the seas recently!”
Donghuang Xiu’s pretty face was anxious, worried, and even fearful.
If something happened to her father, she could imagine the consequences.
The East Emperor Commerce Association needed her father at the helm. If her father were to fall, the Commerce Association would surely descend into chaos.
This month, the East Emperor Commerce Association had already started to see internal turmoil, with some of the old ancestors harboring ill intentions.
“Sister Donghuang, I will have the Mansion Master and the Azure God Academy as well as the Myriad Gods Empire send people to inquire about your father’s whereabouts immediately!” Xiaotian did not hesitate, and right away had people contact Zeng Yongjiang, Chen Jing, and Wan Guangfeng to have them make every effort to find Donghuang Sheng.
“Thank you, Junior Brother.” Donghuang Xiu said with a grateful face.
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, “Sister, you don’t have to be polite with me. As soon as there’s news, I’ll have someone inform you.” He then comforted her, “Don’t worry, Chairman Donghuang will definitely be found.”
Donghuang Xiu nodded, and after sitting for a while longer, she then left.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice the Netherworld Divine Art in the Divine Residence.
His progress in the Netherworld Divine Art was not small, having reached the mid-ninth level.
However, Xiaotian still found it too slow. At this rate of cultivation, it would probably take another year to break through to the tenth level.
Therefore, once he found the Star God Fruit, he decided to enter the ruins of the Netherworld Demon Sect and use the Death God Tree to cultivate.
If he sat under the Death God Tree and practiced, absorbing the deathly spiritual energy, his progress in the Netherworld Divine Art would absolutely soar.
Yet, days passed and there was still no news of Donghuang Sheng.
Over these days, Zeng Qianqian and Wan Ning had come twice.
Once, the two women came together.
The other time they came with Donghuang Xiu and Princess Jiuhu Bai Li.
New Year’s Eve.
Great Emperor Wan Guangfeng of the Myriad Gods Empire came with Wan Ning to pay a New Year’s visit to the Yang Family.
This made Yang Chao and Huang Ying so happy they couldn’t stop grinning.
What parent doesn’t want their child to be successful?
Now their son, Divine Yang, was the pride of the entire Azure God Continent.
That day, Yang Xiaotian gave Yang Ling’er a red packet of one billion, and of course, his parents as well.
Xiao Jin, Elder Wu, Luo Qing, everyone had one.
The first day of the New Year.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was practicing his swordsmanship, suddenly, every soldier in the Myriad Gods Imperial City knelt on one knee, faced the Divine Residence, and shouted in unison, “Divine Emperor Yang is invincible throughout the ages!”
“Divine Emperor Yang is invincible throughout the ages!”
“Divine Emperor Yang is invincible throughout the ages!”
They shouted three times, their voices shaking heaven and earth.
Their cries spread to every corner of the Myriad Gods Imperial City.
The experts from each Sect within the Imperial City were stirred with fervent excitement, and they also shouted together, “Divine Emperor Yang is invincible throughout the ages!” Their voices lingered for a long time.
Yang Xiaotian stopped practicing his swordsmanship, blinked in surprise, shook his head with a smile, knowing it was something the Great Emperor had orchestrated.
Afterward, like every year, the Yang Family went to the street to enjoy the New Year. Yang Ling’er, who had not eaten lollipops for many years, bought two super big lollipops, one for herself and one for Xiao Jin, and the two licked them noisily.
After wandering for a day, they returned to the Divine Mansion, where Yang Xiaotian continued to diligently cultivate the Netherworld Divine Art.
His current focus was to improve the Netherworld Divine Art to the tenth level.
Advance the Netherworld Divine Art to the tenth level as soon as possible.
A month blinked past.
Azure Bear came as promised, and he set off with Yang Xiaotian toward the Sea of Stars.
On the airship, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate the Netherworld Divine Art.
Occasionally, Yang Xiaotian would spar with Azure Bear on the ship.
Of course, both of them refrained from using True Yuan and Divine Power, simply exchanging moves.
Even so, their speed was as fast as lightning, leaving trails of afterimages in mid-air.
Azure Bear had lived for a million years and had a casual mastery over various Divine Skills. Initially, Yang Xiaotian was almost entirely overpowered by Azure Bear, but as days passed, Yang Xiaotian grew stronger and fiercer in battle, gradually catching up to Azure Bear.
This amazed Azure Bear endlessly.
As time slipped away, when they finally arrived at the Sea of Stars, it was already noon. The tide of the Sea of Stars had receded, and the stars overhead shone brightly, rendering the entire Sea of Stars stunningly beautiful.
Azure Bear, gazing at the Sea of Stars before him, couldn’t help but reminisce about the times he and the Lord of Azure God had ventured here together.
Scene by scene, as if it were only yesterday.
Yet in a blink, a million years had passed.
But the people from those bygone days were long gone.
Yang Xiaotian saw Azure Bear standing there, staring at the Sea of Stars for a long time in a daze, knowing that Azure Bear was recalling past memories, so he did not disturb him.
After a moment, Azure Bear came back to his senses and smiled at Yang Xiaotian, “Your Majesty, shall we go in?”
“Sure!”
The two soared into the sky and stepped into the dreamlike Sea of Stars.
Their figures reflected on the surface of the Sea of Stars, undulating with the waves.
This time, their goal was clear: they headed straight for the Star Ice Sea.
The Star Ice Sea was at the very northern edge of the Sea of Stars, so upon entering the Sea of Stars, they continued to fly northward.
On the way, they encountered many sect elites seeking treasure. Many sects and families fought over treasures, engaging in fierce battles.
As Yang Xiaotian and Azure Bear flew towards the Star Ice Sea, several figures also flashed into the Sea of Stars and approached the Star Ice Sea with breakneck speed.
These figures were none other than the Undying Death God, the Ancient Heart Demon, Yan Ping, the Corpse Demon, the Blood Demon, and the Evil Buddha.
After snatching the Azure God Manuscript, they somehow managed to open the first few pages and found the location of the Star God Tree.
“To think that the Star God Tree is in the Star Ice Sea!” chuckled the Undying Death God. “We are lucky to have gathered quite a lot of core flames from the earth’s heart. With these to counter the chill of the star ice, we should manage to get those dozen or so Star God Fruits!”
The Ancient Heart Demon, whose entire presence seemed as dry as parched earth, exuded an aura of death. He did not speak, but if he could obtain the Star God Fruit, not only would his injuries heal, but his cultivation would advance further.
By then, what fear would he have for Azure Bear!
Recalling how he had nearly been struck by Azure Bear’s palm when attacking the Azure God Mansion some days ago, the Ancient Heart Demon’s eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty glimmer.
“Di Yuntian’s son died at the hands of Yang Xiaotian, and now Di Yuntian is consumed with the desire to rip Yang Xiaotian apart,” Yan Ping, Son of Nether God, mused. “With Di Yuntian’s nature, he would surely not let the matter rest. Soon, nations from overseas will send their armies to the Azure God Continent!”
The Corpse Demon sneered, “Di Yuntian and the Azure God Continent can bleed each other dry; the Azure God Mansion will be preoccupied with their defense. When that time comes, our attack on the Azure God Mansion will undoubtedly succeed in rescuing Lord Nether God’s body!”
“I’ve heard that Di Yuntian is already gathering the great emperors of various overseas countries to discuss an assault on the Azure God Continent,” the Undying Death God said with a smile.
Yan Ping chuckled, “Then we must prepare early to reap the advantages like a fisherman watching two others fight.”
They all shared a laugh.
The group of Undying Death Gods joked and laughed as they approached the Star Ice Sea.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian and his companion finally reached the Star Ice Sea.
In front of them, the stars twinkled, shrouded in layers of cold ice vapors, so thick that Yang Xiaotian could only make out about a hundred meters ahead.
