Chapter 1757: Chapter 1757: Holy Child of the Six Paths
Yang Xiaotian perused the books one by one.
He didn’t pay attention to the cultivation techniques and holy technique secret tomes but instead focused on those books that recorded the events of the various empires in the Three Pure Continents and the Kaiyuan Empire of that time.
Through these books, Yang Xiaotian gradually gained a clearer understanding of the Three Pure Continents of yore.
At that time, there were thousands of empires in the Three Pure Continents.
Unlike now, there are only a few hundred.
However, back then, the Three Pure Continents were more chaotic than now.
The great empires frequently engaged in chaotic wars.
It could be said that the people lived in destitution.
It was Emperor Kaiyuan who unified the great empires and ended this chaotic era.
Unfortunately, the Kaiyuan Empire only existed for a few thousand years.
Emperor Kaiyuan ruled for several thousand years, then passed the empire to his son, and in less than a century, the Kaiyuan Empire disintegrated.
Throughout the day, Yang Xiaotian had already gone through hundreds of books.
While he was reading these books, his two divine avatars were also busy cultivating various sacred bodies and the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique.
Yang Xiaotian aimed to cultivate the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to the Twenty-Eight Layer before breaking through to the Great Saint Realm.
The Dao Five Elements Holy Stones found in the Five Elements Holy Mountain and the Black Ant Imperial Palace were enough for him to cultivate the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to the Twenty-Eight Layer.
When half a month later they arrived at the Star Robe Empire’s Imperial Capital, apart from the cultivation techniques and holy techniques’ secret tomes, he had already gone through all other books in the Kaiyuan Imperial Palace.
After reading these books, Yang Xiaotian felt waves of emotion.
Some of these books recorded the feats of Emperor Kaiyuan.
From these books, he gleaned the grand and heroic life of Emperor Kaiyuan.
Slaying hundreds of demons, obliterating thousands of empires, exterminating ten thousand monsters!
Back then, wherever Emperor Kaiyuan’s sword passed, all demons and emperors in the Three Pure Continents trembled in fear.
Having appreciated the grand life of Emperor Kaiyuan, Yang Xiaotian felt it even more regrettable about the fall of Emperor Kaiyuan and the collapse of the Kaiyuan Empire.
However, he also understood the law of the jungle, which is the same in any world, only by becoming stronger can one survive.
"Blood Demon Mountain." Yang Xiaotian murmured.
In the past, Emperor Kaiyuan clashed decisively with the opponent at Blood Demon Mountain; this battle also marked the fall of Emperor Kaiyuan.
Therefore, he deduced that the broken half of the Kaiyuan Sword should be somewhere on Blood Demon Mountain.
As long as he finds that half of the sword’s body, he might be able to repair the Kaiyuan Sword.
The Kaiyuan Sword contains many secrets of Emperor Kaiyuan.
If he repairs the Kaiyuan Sword, he might even find the Kaiyuan Light Spaceship.
After the auction event, he planned to visit Blood Demon Mountain to search for the lower half of the Kaiyuan Sword.
Upon reaching the Star Robe Imperial Capital, Yang Xiaotian put away the spaceship and walked into the city with Old Lu.
Like the Profound Thunder Imperial Capital, the Star Robe Imperial Capital was bustling with activity.
However, most of the buildings in Star Robe Imperial Capital were built from Starfall Stones, which held star power, enveloping the entire capital in a faint starry energy.
Since most of the buildings in the Star Robe Imperial Capital were made of Starfall Stones, at night they emitted enchanting starry glows.
Thus, the Star Robe Imperial Capital was also known as the City of Star Illusion.
If one were to name the most beautiful imperial capital among the hundreds in the Three Pure Continents, many would surely think of the Star Robe Imperial Capital.
At this time, with a few days to go before the auction event, Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu planned to rent a courtyard at a nearby tavern.
On the way to the tavern, they noticed that many people were discussing not the upcoming auction event but the emergence of the Death Sword Servant.
"This emergence of the Death Sword Servant is not a good thing. It’s said that a large number of Death Sword Servants appeared in the Kaiyuan Ancient Land, and many experts who ventured there were killed."
"I wonder why these Death Sword Servants are flocking to the Kaiyuan Ancient Land, could it be for the treasures of the Kaiyuan Empire?"
"It’s said that the one controlling these Death Sword Servants is a mysterious figure cloaked in dim currents, possessing immense strength."
"The Death Sword Servants were once under the command of the Master of the Sword Ruins. Who knows what the relationship between this mysterious figure and the Master of the Sword Ruins is?"
People were discussing fervently.
Evidently, the emergence of a significant number of Death Sword Servants in the Kaiyuan Ancient Land alarmed many experts.
While the crowd around discussed, the street turned into a flurry of excitement.
"It’s the Holy Child of the Six Paths!"
Many people exclaimed with excitement.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths?
Upon hearing the exclamations, the street buzzed with energy.
Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu also looked over.
They saw a young man in white battle robes, an arrogant expression on his face, walking over from afar, surrounded by people.
"It’s truly the Holy Child of the Six Paths! I saw him at the Sword Dao Tournament last time!" said an excited expert beside them.
It seemed that having seen the Holy Child of the Six Paths once at the Sword Dao Tournament was his supreme privilege.
"Holy Child of the Six Paths! Holy Child of the Six Paths!" There were even those who waved hands excitedly, trying to get the Holy Child of the Six Paths to notice them.
But the Holy Child of the Six Paths did not pay attention and walked forward haughtily amidst the crowd, eventually disappearing at the street’s end.
"The Holy Child of the Six Paths also seems to have come for the All-Star Auction Event." Old Lu remarked, watching the Holy Child of the Six Paths leave amidst the crowd.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths was the holy heir of the Six Paths Academy, and in terms of talent, no disciple in the academy could match him.
Although the Son of Wan Lei was quite famous in the Profound Thunder Empire, neither the Son of Wan Lei nor Hongmeng Academy’s Qian Hai could compare to the Holy Child of the Six Paths.
"It’s said that the Eternal Dao Heart that the Holy Child of the Six Paths condenses is ranked within the top thousand eternal dao hearts," said Old Lu, his expression shifting at this point.
The disciple of Mu Sanye, Qian Hai, condensing an eternal dao heart ranked over nine thousand had already astonished many, let alone an eternal dao heart ranked within the top thousand.
"But, Young Master, the dao heart you condense later will surely surpass that of the Holy Child of the Six Paths." Old Lu suddenly changed his tone and smiled.
Yang Xiaotian smiled.
An ancestor from a nearby sect, overhearing Old Lu claim that Yang Xiaotian’s dao heart would surely surpass the Holy Child of the Six Paths’, chuckled dismissively, "Do you think your young master is Emperor Long Shi?"
After the fall of Emperor Kaiyuan, a genius who condensed the Eternal Dao Heart soon appeared in the Three Pure Continents, and that was Emperor Long Shi.
Not only did Emperor Long Shi condense an Eternal Dao Heart, but it was ranked in the top one hundred.
Old Lu’s expression darkened at this but was stopped by Yang Xiaotian who gestured for him not to argue.
Even before cultivating the Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique, if he wanted to condense a dao heart, he could easily achieve a top one hundred Eternal Dao Heart.
Now that he had cultivated over a hundred Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Techniques, he should be able to condense a top fifty, even top thirty Eternal Dao Heart.
While Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu were renting a courtyard at a nearby tavern, the Holy Child of the Six Paths, amidst the crowd, arrived at a luxurious mansion.
His subordinates respectfully and enthusiastically ushered the Holy Child of the Six Paths into the luxurious mansion.
"The matters I asked you to investigate, did you find anything?" the Holy Child of the Six Paths inquired.
A subordinate quickly replied, "Yes, Young Master, the two Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique Secret Manuals being auctioned off at this auction event were left by Emperor Long Shi."
Old Lu’s guess was correct; the Holy Child of the Six Paths indeed came for the All-Star Auction Event, specifically for those two Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique Secret Manuals.
