Ti flew. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Yang Xiao, who had been in seclusion forging Magical Artifacts, opened his eyes.
Before him hovered seven multicolored longswords, their auras soaring to the heavens.
There were a few other trinkets as well, but the most impressive items were two sets of armor forged from teorite. One was the Dragon Dominator Armor, majestic and imposing.
The other was the Silver Dragon Armor, a set of Inner Armor, small and exquisite.
Yang Xiao was most satisfied with these two sets of armor.
'With these two sets of Ultimate-Grade Magical Artifact armor, I won't have to worry about Father's and Yun'Er's safety anymore,' he thought. 'With their current strength, even an expert beyond the Martial Saint realm might not be able to harm them.'
'Moreover, once they refine them into their Lifebound Magical Artifacts and temper them daily, their power can continue to increase. They might even reach the level of Spirit Weapons and gain their own Spirituality.'
Of course, the one who benefited the most from this artifact forging session was Yang Xiao himself.
His Lifebound Magical Sword.
He had used up all the Black Obsidian Gold. A fist-sized piece of Black Obsidian Gold was enough to forge an Ultimate-Grade Magical Artifact, yet the amount of material Yang Xiao had used was nearly the size of a rockery.
After days of his tempering, it had finally beco a gleaming black longsword. Its quality had already surpassed that of an ordinary Ultimate-Grade Spirit Weapon.
As soon as its Spirituality was awakened, it could beco a Spirit Weapon.
And that wasn't even its limit.
If Yang Xiao carefully nurtured it, it wasn't impossible for it to beco an Ultimate-Grade Treasure Weapon in the future.
However, becoming a Daoist Weapon...
...was still a ways off.
Even so, Yang Xiao was very satisfied.
With this Lifebound Magical Sword in hand, his power had risen to another level.
'Everything is ready; I'm just waiting for the right mont. Next, I'll go see Brother Lu.'
Yang Xiao smiled faintly.
He walked out of his seclusion chamber. But just as he stepped out, before he could even give the newly forged Magical Artifacts to his father and Yun'Er, he saw Yang Ying waiting anxiously at the door.
Seeing him erge, Yang Ying said urgently, "Young Master, Young Master Lu said he has urgent business with you! Quick, follow !"
Seeing Yang Ying's urgency, Yang Xiao didn't delay. He nodded and followed behind Yang Ying.
Along the way, he learned that Lu Fangliang had co looking for him as early as ten days ago.
At first, he wasn't in a hurry.
But as the days passed and Yang Xiao still hadn't erged from seclusion, he had beco extrely anxious.
He had been coming by almost every day to see if Yang Xiao was out yet.
That was why Yang Zhentian had instructed Yang Ying to stand guard at the door of Yang Xiao's seclusion chamber day and night, and to bring him directly to Lu Fangliang the mont he ca out.
「Soon.」
Under Yang Ying's guidance, Yang Xiao arrived at the True Inheritance Hall where Lu Fangliang was staying.
"Brother Yang, you're finally here."
Seeing Yang Xiao, Lu Fangliang's tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
However, his expression wasn't one of complete relief.
It seed sothing major had truly happened.
"What is it? What happened, Brother Lu?"
Yang Xiao asked quickly.
Lu Fangliang sighed, shook his head, and said, "Follow . This was all my fault. I nearly caused you to miss an opportunity."
"An opportunity?"
"That's right. Co with , I'll explain along the way."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded and followed Lu Fangliang.
From the True Inheritance Hall to the Greater Yang Palace.
Along the way, Lu Fangliang introduced his sect.
This place was called the Greater Yang God Palace. Apparently, the Greater Yang God Palace had a long and ancient lineage, founded in the Ancient Era, and had been drifting through the void ever since.
Three million years ago, it ca to a stop here.
One of Lu Fangliang's ancestors happened to possess the Greater Yang Body, so he entered it and beca a successor of the Greater Yang God Palace.
However, the Greater Yang God Palace had a rule: one could not leave this place until they beca a Saint Emperor. They could only remain cooped up in this small world.
Hearing this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
"You can't leave unless you beco a Saint Emperor? Th-that's an impossible standard!"
In his first life, despite being uniquely blessed by the heavens, Yang Xiao's goal had rely been to beco a Great Emperor. He never would have imagined that a sect with such an absurd rule existed in this world.
To be unable to leave until becoming a Saint Emperor...
Didn't that an one could never leave?
"Was your ancestor willing to accept that?"
At this, Lu Fangliang sighed softly. "Of course my ancestor was unwilling. A million years ago, after he achieved his Dao and beca a Dao Attainnt Emperor, he gained supre power. He finally broke through the restriction and secretly left this place. But after a re hundred thousand years, he returned."
"He returned covered in wounds and passed away a few days later. He left behind only a single clan decree: show no rcy to Immortal Cultivators; kill them all on sight!"
"Ever since then, my Lu Family has had only a single heir in each generation, and not one of them has beco a Great Emperor-level expert. Without becoming a Great Emperor, we cannot leave this place. We are locked within the Rising Dragon Tower, unable to escape. As for , I can walk outside for now, but once I master Divine Techniques, I too must enter the Rising Dragon Tower."
As he spoke, Lu Fangliang's expression turned somber.
Yang Xiao felt a great deal of sympathy for him.
He had never expected Lu Fangliang's sect to be like this.
'No wonder there are so few records of the Greater Yang Body demonstrating its might in the world,' Yang Xiao mused. 'The Lu Family has produced a Greater Yang Body in every generation, clearly monopolizing all the destiny associated with this physique. Since they are all locked away here, how could the Greater Yang Body ever display its power to the world?'
'Taiyin and Greater Yang, Nine Yin and Nine Yang, the Five Great Origins of the Dao—all such physiques are exclusive.'
'It is rare for two of the sa physique to appear in the sa era.'
'Because such a physique can be called a Child of the Great Dao.'
'Only one can be nurtured in any given period.'
'The fact that the Lu Family can produce a Greater Yang Body in every generation ans they have completely exhausted and monopolized the destiny of this physique.'
'Naturally, it's impossible for it to appear anywhere else.'
'This Greater Yang God Palace must have also been created by soone with a Greater Yang Body. But why would he establish such a bizarre rule? And how could Lu Fangliang's first ancestor, who had already beco a Great Emperor, fall so easily?'
Yang Xiao's mind was filled with questions.
Soon, Lu Fangliang brought him before a tall tower.
The tower was divided into nine levels.
Nine Divine Dragons were coiled around the body of the tower, appearing as if they were trying to climb to its peak.
Its presence was magnificent.
A single glance was enough to make Yang Xiao's Heart Spirit tremble, as if so profound divine rhythm of the Great Dao was converging within it.
It was an astonishing treasure.
"This is the Rising Dragon Tower," Lu Fangliang explained. "Ten days ago, I requested an audience with the Tower Spirit, Elder Long. He agreed to let you, Brother Yang, attempt its trial once. However, because you do not possess the Greater Yang Body, Elder Long only agreed to open it for thirteen days. Ten days have now passed, so you only have three days left. For these three days, I must ask you to give it your all, Brother Yang."
A guilty look crossed Lu Fangliang's face.
If he had told Yang Xiao about this from the start, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Now, only three days of the ti Elder Long had given remained.
Lu Fangliang felt he had truly let Yang Xiao down.
Yang Xiao was stunned for a mont, but then he understood what Lu Fangliang was thinking and laughed. "I imagine I only have this opportunity because of you. Don't worry about the missing ten days. Three days is more than enough."
However, the mont Yang Xiao's words fell,
a thunderous voice echoed through the void.
"What arrogant words!"
Imdiately after, he saw a Divine Dragon fly out from the body of the tower. A terrifying aura bore down on him, suppressing him completely.
He was forced back more than a dozen steps, unable to stop his retreat.
Terrifying!
No matter how resilient Yang Xiao's Heart Spirit was, he couldn't help but feel horrified.
This aura was too strong.
It likely belonged to an expert at the Divine King Level, at the very least.
If it decided to act, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
How could Yang Xiao not be shocked?
