Nine Yang Sword Saint Chapter 180

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

After practicing here for more than 100 days, after breaking through the 20th level, Yang Dingtian was finally able to leave. He actually had an urge to scream out his excitement, but he resisted as it was not the time to do so yet.

Yang Dingtian kept his Night Owl Strange Blade and youngling sword into the ring of storage and walked out while holding his breath.

“Except for the rewards, the trainee must not take away anything from the secret realm, or he shall be immediately decimated.” Suddenly, Yang Dingtian heard the voice of the three-headed giant.

“A thorough check is to be conducted on the trainee!” The giant continued.

Yang Dingtian got nervous as he actually did bring something out, the Holy Water on the chest of the three-headed giant. While he was heavily injured in the realm earlier, Yang Dingtian secretly filled around tens of pounds of it into the ring of storage. He planned to use the Holy Water for the treatment of Yanyan's damaged meridians. The three-headed giant seemed to be clueless back in the palace. Who would have thought that a check would be conducted now?

Would the Holy Water be discovered if it were placed in the ring of storage? Yang Dingtian would be doomed if the Holy Water was found, he would be obliterated at once, without any room for discussion at all. But it seemed like there are no other options at this point as there was no way Yang Dingtian would confess to the three-headed giant now and hand over the Holy Water. What was done couldn't be undone, he would have to be prepared to bear the necessary consequences.

A bright light suddenly hit onto the body of Yang Dingtian, passed through his body inch by inch, top to bottom, in and out. Lastly, the green light stopped on the finger of Yang Dingtian, at the position of the ring of storage. At that very moment, Yang Dingtian almost died of nervousness.

Three minutes later, the ray of light left his finger. What a relief! Yang Dingtian's heart was racing like crazy for those three minutes.

“There is no trace of any secret realm items in the body, but there is an abnormal flow of inside. However, the Mystic Finder cannot identify that energy, so no actions would be taken, the trainee is free to leave.” The voice of the three-headed giant sounded.

Yang Dingtian took a long breath of relief at that instance and rushed out of the sixth door into the ice-cold sea bed, leaving the Five Elements Hall for good.

“Ah… it feels so bad…” Yang Dingtian thought as he suddenly felt a huge load of pressure crushing down on him. It felt as though all his internal organs were on the verge of getting squeezed out, and all the veins and bones in his body were going to burst.

This was a sea bottom with a depth of tens of thousands of meters, the water pressure here was insane. Even though Yang Dingtian was already prepared for this, but he didn't expect that the pressure would be so horrifying.

Yang Dingtian wrapped his body with all his qi to resist against the humongous pressure and started to float up speedily. This super deep seabed was seriously too scary, even a second here would be too much to bear. At the same time, the gates of the Five Elements Hall had fully closed, so the seabed became pitch black.

“Splash……” Yang Dingtian flew out of the sea surface. It took him over ten minutes to rise up from the seabed. Although he was completely capable of surviving without breathing for more than half an hour now, he still took many puffs of deep breaths to appreciate the presence of air.

The north sand coast of the West End Island was just up ahead, and further ahead would be the dense forest.

Yang Dingtian went up the sand coast and came to the dense forest. He first picked up a dozen edible wild fruits and had a great meal. Yang Dingtian had been relying on herbs and pills for the past three months in the secret realm. Even though it was more beneficial for body mechanics, there was no doubt that Yang Dingtian still missed normal food. Unfortunately, there was no meat on the island; otherwise, it would be even better.

After eating, Yang Dingtian immediately headed towards the east side of the West End Island, because that was the place where he hid his ship. In less than half an hour, Yang Dingtian had already arrived at the beach on the east side.

When he came, he hid the boat behind a huge stone and buried it with sand. But all he saw now was a pile of wood fragments as the ship was broken into pieces. The culprit was certainly not a strong wind or wave, it was man-made. The whole ship was completely turned into powdery pieces, it was the doing of a true expert, a person that completely shattered the boat with one palm strike.

But there were no other people on this island, who was capable of doing this? Definitely, Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian got extremely angry at this merciless and ruthless demon woman, she even turned her back on Yang Dingtian and attempted to kill him in the secret realm after violating him. And now, she destroyed his ship.

This island was a few thousand miles away from land, how Yang Dingtian was supposed to leave without a ship? Swimming was definitely not possible, the only way was to use his qi to glide through two thousand miles of sea. Perhaps a great master like Dugu Fengwu could do it, but that would still bring great harm to the body. Therefore, Yang Dingtian could not leave without the ship.

On the bright side, this island was only around two thousand miles away from the mainland, so there would be boats passing by every once in a while. It was just that Yang Dingtian's plan of going to Cloud Heaven City would be pushed back for a few days. Anyway, it was useless to worry too much now, the only thing he could do was to pray that there would be a boat passing through here soon.

In the meantime, Yang Dingtian could start studying the thunder mystic skill secret scroll. But that would be after he took a good sleep. After all, Yang Dingtian barely slept in the past three months, he was almost always fighting, healing, and training during the time in the secret realm. So for now, Yang Dingtian's top priority now was to take a good night's sleep.

He built a bed on a big tree that he found, laid comfortably on it, and fell asleep in no time. Of course, Yang Dingtian was still able to react to any danger immediately even while sleeping, but the West End Island was just simply too quiet, the only sounds here were the waves, and there weren't any wild animals here. Therefore, Yang Dingtian had the sweetest sleep ever since he came to the Primal Chaos Continent.

As he woke up the next day, Yang Dingtian first found a pool to take a bath, change into some clean clothes, and then picked a spacious spot under a tree to start studying the secret scroll of thunder mystic skills.

Looking at this volume of thunder mystic skills secret scroll, Yang Dingtian got uncontrollably nervous. This was the extremely rare scroll that everyone dreamt of possessing, the highest reward of the Five Elements Hall.

Dugu Fengwu was the princess of demons, but even she did not have thunder mystic skills. The world would be shocked if words that Yang Dingtian possessed this secret scroll were made public. Even if it were to be placed in an auction, countless people would go crazy and would be willing to give up anything for it.

The mystic skill secret scrolls are different from the martial skill secret scrolls. A volume of martial skill secret scroll, except for Yang Dingtian's Pig Slaying Sword Art, could be used countless times by as many people there were, but a volume of mystic skill secret scroll could only be used once. Once a mystic secret scroll was being used once, it would become useless even if it fell into the possession of another person.

Apart from that, all mystic skill secret scrolls were left behind from the past. Even though there were always new mystic skill scrolls being discovered over the past thousand years, but the number of new scrolls found was getting less and less in the recent hundred years. Therefore, the amount of mystic skill secret scrolls were decreasing day by day, they were extremely valuable, let alone the thunder element ones.

Yang Dingtian sat on the spacious ground and gradually closed his eyes as he held on to the thunder mystic skill secret scroll. This was just like practicing with a martial skill secret scroll, all that needed to be done was to put qi into the scroll, and Yang Dingtian would be able to enter the world of the scroll. However, it was uncertain whether he would be able to successfully master the skill, as he didn't even know if he had the gift for the thunder element or not.

An individual's meridians were being classified as Yin and Yang and would be further evolved to ice, fire, gold, wind, and thunder when you would reach the rank of Great Mystic Martial Master trying to learn mystic skills. The ice element was the default element of the Yin meridians, and the fire was the default element for the Yang meridians. After which, a portion of people with Yang meridians would be gifted in the gold element or wind element.

The gift for the thunder element, though, was universal for both Yin and Yang, but people who were blessed with the thunder element gift were extremely rare. Yang Dingtian was indeed a Nine Yang Mystic Meridians individual, but it was highly unlikely that he was gifted with the thunder element. The good thing was that he had the thunder talisman, so he would still be able to use thunder mystic skills without the gift. However, the cultivation process of the thunder talisman usually took a long time, and the power from a talisman was ultimately not as strong as those gifted with thunder element. But if Yang Dingtian were thunder element gifted, he would be able and combine his gift along with the talisman, and the power of his attacks would be at a whole new level.

Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and thought in his mind, “It would be a blessing if I were thunder element gifted, but it is fine even if I am not!” Yang Dingtian is nervous yet excited at the same time, this is after all his first attempt practicing a mystic skill. He took a dozen deep breaths to tone his mood and started to insert qi into the scroll.

The scroll lit up brightly in a split second and gave out a blue ray of light. After which, the extremely complicated qi path started to surface it by bit, and Yang Dingtian's qi continued to advance along the path.

Even though the scroll was only around three feet long on the surface, it was actually tens of thousands of meters long inside. Not only was it long, the thick layering and multiple curves and turn simply made it one of the most complicated routes in the world, sort of like an integrated electric circuit during the Earth era.

All the qi of Yang Dingtian must go through the route on the secret scroll, undergo a makeover by it, and return to his body with new memories. Yang Dingtian inserted his qi bit by bit into the secret scroll, and time was also ticking by, and his practice went on.
