Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: How to Become the New Master of the Primordial Holy Land

Watching the Ascending Dragon Platform towering between Heaven and Earth, all the disciples from Long Manor wore faces of reverence.

“Should anyone be able to fly up to the Ascending Dragon Platform, they will be recognized by it, inherit the mantle of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor, and become the master of the Ascending Dragon Platform, the Lord of the Primordial Holy Land!” Beside Yang Xiaotian, a disciple from Long Manor said fervently.

“For tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to fly up to the Ascending Dragon Platform. It’s easier said than done,” Long Feiyi shook his head and said, “Not to mention ascending to it, there are hardly a few who’ve reached a height of ten thousand zhang.”

The Ascending Dragon Platform is thirty thousand zhang high.

Yet across the ages, the number of people who’ve managed to fly ten thousand zhang high on the Ascending Dragon Platform is less than ten, countable on one’s hands.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the Ascending Dragon Platform before him, his heart stirred, and he asked, “Mansion Master, how can one fly up to the Ascending Dragon Platform?”

Long Feiyi did not avoid the question and said, “Some say that by cultivating the Primordial Heavenly Dragon Art to the Tenth Layer, one can fly up to the Ascending Dragon Platform.”

“The Tenth Layer of the Primordial Heavenly Dragon Art!” Yang Xiaotian was surprised.

“Yes,” Long Feiyi, his eyes blazing with eagerness as he gazed upon the Ascending Dragon Platform, said: “However, some also say that to ascend it, one needs to merge with the Dragon Body of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor.”

“Only by merging with the Dragon Body of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor can one ascend the platform.”

“But, there are also those who say that only by merging with the Dragon Body of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor and cultivating the Primordial Heavenly Dragon Art to the Ten Layers can one ascend the Dragon Platform.”

The Dragon Body of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor, the Tenth Layer of the Primordial Heavenly Dragon Art!

Yang Xiaotian, staring at the Ascending Dragon Platform towering between Heaven and Earth, seemed to see the figure of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor.

When the people from Long Manor arrived at the plaza in front of the Ascending Dragon Platform, it was already swarming with people.

As a colossus of the Primordial Holy Land, with the addition of Yang Xiaotian’s presence, Long Manor immediately caught the attention of various mighty figures upon arrival.

“Is that Yang Xiaotian?” Wu Xiaoqian of the Heaven Maiden’s Palace directed her gaze at Yang Xiaotian amidst the crowd.

“Yes, that’s him,” the Heaven Maiden’s Palace Master nodded and said with a smile: “He has declared that he will claim first place in this battle of the Primordial Holy Land and then head to the Refining God Sect to take the Gluttonous Dragon Fruit Tree.”

The female disciples of the Heaven Maiden’s Palace all smiled.

Wu Xiaoqian, too, shook her head with a smile.

The news of Yang Xiaotian, in the great hall of the Refining God Sect, proclaiming he would win first place in this battle of the Primordial Holy Land had already spread, becoming a source of amusement during leisurely chats among everyone in the Primordial Holy Land.

Many disciples of the Primordial Holy Land would bring this up during their breaks for a laugh and some lighthearted fun.

“He has cultivated the Chaos King Divine Constitution and the Ultimate Mystery Diagram; it’s normal for him to be slightly arrogant,” Wu Xiaoqian laughed: “It’s just uncertain what kind of Life-Bound Talisman he has cultivated.”

The Heaven Maiden’s Palace Master shook her head and said, “Even if he has cultivated the Dao Life Symbol, his combat strength is only comparable to the Eightfold Divine Monarch. Among all the disciples in this battle of the Primordial Holy Land, his strength is still at the bottom.”

“Although it’s the same Chaos King Divine Constitution, this Yang Xiaotian is far behind Fang Jian of the Fang Family,” Wu Xiaoqian said with an admiring look when she mentioned Fang Jian of the Fang Family.

Meanwhile, Chen Heng, Chen Jing, and others from the Kirin Clan coldly watched Yang Xiaotian from within the crowd.

Not long after Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Ascending Dragon Platform, a sudden commotion arose within the crowd.

“The Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect has come!”

Someone shouted.

Everyone looked over to see a large group of experts flying in from a distance, which included not just the experts from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect, but also those from Refining God Sect, Skywalking Holy Sect, and the Luo Family.

The experts from the three great sects arrived together.

Song Andong walked alongside Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect Leader Liu Ming, strutting confidently.

In this battle of the Primordial Holy Land, his chances of claiming first place were deemed the highest.

He surveyed his surroundings, looking down from his high position to spot Yang Xiaotian among the crowd.

Following by the Luo Family Patriarch’s side, Luo Jihu caught a glimpse of Yang Xiaotian, barely concealing the murderous intent in his eyes.

Upon arrival, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect Leader Liu Ming greeted Long Feiyi from afar with a cupped-fist salute: “Long Manor Master, I trust all is well with you.” He then smiled and said, “This must be the young Mansion Master of your abode, Yang Xiaotian, yes?”

“I’ve heard that Friend Yang has made a grand vow at the Refining God Sect to seize first place in this battle for the Primordial Holy Land!”

“Friend Yang truly boasts an admirable spirit!”

As he said this, he continued: “I hope Friend Yang performs well later on. Otherwise, if you don’t even make it into the top thousand, that would be quite the joke.”

“And it would be the joke of the entire Primordial Holy Land at that.”

Upon hearing this, disciples from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect, Refining God Sect, Skywalking Holy Sect, Luo Family, and disciples of other surrounding Supreme Sects all shared a laugh.

Long Feiyi’s face darkened.

“Don’t worry, I will perform well and make it into the top thousand,” Yang Xiaotian replied to Liu Ming with an indifferent expression, “I hope your disciples also perform well and get into the top thousand. Otherwise, that would become the ultimate joke of the Primordial Holy Land.”

Song Andong’s face turned cold upon hearing this.

Liu Ming chuckled with a ‘heh heh’, and said no more.

With the arrival of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect, the scene quietened down significantly.

Around the Ascending Dragon Platform, an unusual atmosphere permeated.

After a while, suddenly, a group of experts flew in.

These experts, all clad in dragon armor, were not numerous, totaling only a hundred, but the sight of these hundred made everyone solemnly stop their chatter.

The newcomers were the guardians of the Ascending Dragon Platform, the Ascending Dragon Clan.

Some said that the Ascending Dragon Clan were descendants of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor, while others claimed the Ascending Dragon Clan’s founder was a disciple of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor.

The Ascending Dragon Clan held supreme status in the Primordial Holy Land.

Even Long Manor and the Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect had to act respectfully in front of the Ascending Dragon Clan.

The Ascending Dragon Clan, huh? Yang Xiaotian watched the approaching Ascending Dragon Clan experts, who have always been protecting the Ascending Dragon Platform, awaiting the emergence of a new master for both the Ascending Dragon Platform and the Primordial Holy Land.

Whoever becomes the new master of the Ascending Dragon Platform will gain the support of the Ascending Dragon Clan.

The leader of the Ascending Dragon Clan, Li Qian, the Clan Leader himself.

Since the Ascending Dragon Clan presides over the battle for the Holy Land, Li Qian led the Ascending Dragon Clan experts to the event.

After arriving at the scene, Li Qian nodded to Long Feiyi, Liu Ming, and others, then began to announce the rules for this battle for the Primordial Holy Land.

The rules for the battle of the Primordial Holy Land remained the same as before, consisting of two rounds.

“The first round requires that the registered disciples reach the base of the Ascending Dragon Platform within an hour of the Grand Array’s activation and touch the platform with their hands to pass.”

Hearing about the method for the first round, everyone was astounded.

Once the Grand Array of the Ascending Dragon Platform is activated, the closer one gets to the platform, the greater the pressure and resistance. To actually reach the base and touch it is no easy feat.

Even many Divine Monarchs at the eightfold or even the ninefold level might not be able to achieve this.

Thus, learning about the method for the first round, many of the eightfold and ninefold Divine Monarch disciples registered to participate showed a sudden change in their expression.

Upon hearing this method, however, Heavenly Dragon Holy Sect Leader Liu Ming looked at Long Feiyi and Yang Xiaotian with schadenfreude.
