Free Web NovelChapter 1262: Chapter 1164: The Eve of the Tournament
"Master?"
Yang Tian looked up and saw a man and a woman stepping out from the sacred light.
One of them was the Drunkard.
And the other was a woman.
The woman had a human body with a snake’s tail, standing among them, holding a green lotus in her right hand. As the lotus bloomed, a vast universe fell into it, it was Nuwa.
Seeing Nuwa, Yang Tian was frozen, unable to believe that the legendary figure of Huaxia truly existed.
A sacred light radiated from Nuwa’s body.
Yang Tian soaked in it, as if he could feel Nuwa’s divine grace, as if he could see Nuwa creating humans in Huaxia, refining stones to mend the heavens, creating mountains and rivers with her body.
This made Yang Tian feel an impulse to worship.
"See the Nuwa Celestial God, why are you not kneeling quickly!"
The Drunkard shouted.
"Yes!" Yang Tian respectfully knelt before the Nuwa Celestial God: "Commoner Yang Tian pays respects to the Nuwa Celestial God!"
Nuwa quietly examined Yang Tian, and in a moment her powerful Divine Breath saw through Yang Tian’s essence. Her eyes were full of satisfaction: "In millions of years, talents like you are extremely rare. The Nuwa Divine Technique I created for disciples in the Divine Realm to cultivate, but until now, no one has been able to cultivate to your level!"
The Drunkard, hearing Nuwa’s praise of Yang Tian, was also delighted, respectfully saying: "Master, this is a disciple that I have cultivated. I allowed him to practice the Nuwa Divine Technique without your permission, please forgive me."
"Chen Qinglin, although you are my Outer Disciple, your keen eyes have fostered a talent like Yang Tian, which is a great contribution to our sect. I have decided to promote you to an Inner Sect Disciple, granting you the resources you deserve for cultivation!"
Nuwa Celestial God waved her hand, a Divine Breath turning into petals that floated down.
Instantly, a Daoist Robe appeared on the Drunkard, with the word "Inner" embroidered on the chest.
"Even though your cultivation was abolished, considering your loyal dedication to our sect and your disclosure of Chiyou’s conspiracy with the Demon Realm, I now reward you with the chance to retrain in our sect’s Divine Techniques!"
Nuwa Celestial God suddenly flew up, and in an instant, a sacred light shone down.
Everywhere it reached, all the trees and flowers looked revitalized, brimming with the lush vitality of spring, while the Drunkard knelt respectfully, bathed in the glow of spring.
Gradually, all the meridians and acupoints in his body that had been broken healed completely.
The final sacred light bestowed upon the Drunkard condensed to form the Nuwa Divine Technique.
"Within you, the Nuwa Divine Technique has been reformed. The subsequent fortune now depends on yourself." Nuwa Celestial God said, then looked towards Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, you already have the qualification to become my Core Disciple, you may return with me to the Divine Luo Sect now."
Yang Tian respectfully said: "Thank you, Nuwa Celestial God, for your recognition, but I have unfinished wishes here and cannot return to the Divine Luo Sect with you right now. After I participate in the martial arts tournament, I will join the ranks under your tutelage."
"Martial arts tournament?" Nuwa nodded: "That is good too, you can justifiably enter the Divine Luo Sect! I have here a Secret Manual, only Core Disciples are eligible to cultivate it. Now I bestow it upon you!"
As she spoke, Nuwa waved her hand, and a light flew towards Yang Tian.
Yang Tian reached out and caught the light, and when he opened his hand, it was a piece of Spiritual Jade.
The jade was smooth, like water, crystal clear.
Inside, there was a mesmerizing glow.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe it, feeling that it was full of Divine Techniques, Divine Martial Arts, and Divine Skills.
He respectfully said: "Thank you, Nuwa Celestial God!"
"Yang Tian, are you still calling me Celestial God?"
The Drunkard immediately signaled to Yang Tian with his eyes, and Yang Tian realized, quickly saying: "Thank you, Master!"
"It is good for you to stay here as well! Chiyou’s collusion with the Demon Realm must have a major agenda, and there must be a plot for Chiyou to come here. I want you to stay here and watch everything; if anything happens, notify me immediately!"
Nuwa waved her hand again.
A Divine Talisman flew down.
Yang Tian caught the Divine Talisman, knowing it was a communication device capable of transmitting information anywhere in the universe, he nodded heavily: "Rest assured, Master, I will definitely investigate Chiyou’s every move on Gemelo Continent!"
"Chiyou has already made moves in the Human Realm, but he is on Gemelo Continent, which might be a feint. The Human Realm being fraught with calamities will surely disrupt the balance of the Seven Realms. Chen Qinglin, come with me to the Human Realm, and ensure to quell the Human Realm’s disasters!"
Nuwa Celestial God spoke.
"Yes!"
The Drunkard respectfully said.
Yang Tian’s eyes flashed with urgency, does this mean Earth indeed suffers calamities?
Will these disasters require the joint efforts of Nuwa and Yanhuang to resolve them?
"Yang Tian, I will follow Master to the Human Realm to eliminate disasters, but you must be careful and take care of your safety here alone!"
The Drunkard instructed Yang Tian in a few words, then left with the Nuwa Celestial God.
Soon, the entire mountain was left with only Yang Tian.
He held the Spiritual Jade in his hand and returned to Yihua Palace.
During the next three days, all was calm, Li Min did not cause any more disturbances, and Wu Yingxiong’s whereabouts remained unknown.
Hua Tiandu, in these few days, had gathered all the Core Disciples, setting rewards and penalties, declaring that anyone who managed to enter the top three would become his Direct Disciple and could inherit everything from Yihua Palace in the future!
After announcing such a reward and penalty, the whole Core Disciple group was in an uproar.
They resolved to win in the martial arts tournament and become the most formidable existence.
Yang Tian had no interest in such rewards and penalties, but he was rather curious about Hua Tiandu’s so-called number one disciple, Xiao Qian?
This Xiao Qian should be Hua Tiandu’s most trusted disciple.
Yang Tian had been in Yihua Palace for some time but had never seen a Xiao Qian.
Three days quickly passed.
The day before the martial arts tournament, a woman in her early twenties came to Yang Tian: "Yang, my father’s hope rests on you!"
This woman bore a resemblance to Hua Tiandu, should be Hua Tiandu’s daughter or something.
"The Palace Master’s reward, I will certainly strive for it with my life!"
Yang Tian said hypocritically.
The woman nodded, albeit with a somewhat downcast expression: "My father said that whoever enters the top three and gains the Divine Luo Sect’s recognition will have me betrothed to him."
Yang Tian looked at the woman.
The woman was indeed very attractive.
Honestly speaking, Hua Tiandu had made a smart move.
Using the status of the Yihua Palace Master and his daughter as leverage naturally attracted a bunch of Death Warriors.
"I hope you can help me once."
The woman looked at Yang Tian pitiably.
Yang Tian oh-ed: "We’ll see."
"I know you are the disciple my father dreads the most, you can surely do it!" The woman paused, then continued: "Originally, Senior Brother Xiao Qian was the number one disciple, but he recently faced some issue."
"What issue?"
Yang Tian furrowed his brow.
