Invincible Divine Sword-Chapter 1292: The Darkest Era of the Dao Domain

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master’s brow furrowed, staring at his disciple: "You say that His Highness and his subordinates killed the Divine Dragon you nurtured on Evil Dragon Mountain, did you witness it with your own eyes?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"No." Lv He was stunned.

The Heavenly Dao Holy Master turned his head, apologizing to Yang Xiaotian: "Your Highness, this disciple of mine has always been like this, impulsive in his actions. I hope for Your Highness’s forgiveness."

Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to speak up, Lv He made an excuse: "Master, the day Yang Xiaotian entered Evil Dragon Mountain, my nurtured Divine Dragon was killed."

However, before he could finish, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master shouted sternly: "Silence! Is His Highness’s name something you can call out directly?"

Lv He’s face turned red as purple.

"Have you not yet offered an apology to His Highness!" commanded the Heavenly Dao Holy Master with stern eyes.

Apologize?

Lv He looked towards Yang Xiaotian, his expression unsightly.

"I put you in charge of Holy Sea Mountain all these years, but you have greatly disappointed me!" the Heavenly Dao Holy Master rebuked, "From today onwards, you no longer hold the authority over Holy Sea Mountain!"

Lv He turned pale as a ghost.

He had not expected that for the sake of Yang Xiaotian, his master would strip him of his authority over Holy Sea Mountain.

"Master." Lv He’s hands shook as he still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Heavenly Dao Holy Master, who bellowed: "Step down!"

Lv He’s face turned utterly ashen, his fists clenched tightly, but in the end, he bowed to the Heavenly Dao Holy Master and withdrew.

The Heavenly Dao Holy Master cupped his fists towards Yang Xiaotian and the Great Dragon Ancestor: "Your Highness, Great Dragon Senior, I apologize for causing you amusement."

Although the Heavenly Dao Holy Master is one of the ten strongest in the Dao Domain, he is of the same generation as the Kirin Ancestor, and in terms of seniority, the Great Dragon Ancestor ranks even above him.

"Senior, you are too modest." Yang Xiaotian quickly responded with a cupped fist: "We have come uninvited, disturbing your contemplation. Please forgive our impertinence."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master chuckled: "Not at all, not at all. I’ve been looking forward to meeting Your Highness for years, and I’m very pleased that you are here." He then warmly invited Yang Xiaotian and the Great Dragon Ancestor into his Cave Mansion.

Soon enough, the group could see the Heavenly Dao Holy Master’s Cave Mansion from afar.

As the Lord of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land, his Cave Mansion was incredibly vast, composed of ten thousand palaces.

Ten thousand palaces formed a grand array of the Great Dao Level.

This Grand Array was connected as one with the entire Holy Sea Mountain.

And Holy Sea Mountain was in turn connected with the Holy Origin Power of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land.

The power operation of the Heavenly Dao Holy Master’s Cave Mansion contained the great principles of Heaven and Earth, with a powerful impact on the soul. Yang Xiaotian looked at the Heavenly Dao Holy Master’s Cave Mansion and was deeply shocked.

"This Cave Mansion, I set it up based on a remnant Grand Array chart of Lord Nie Heng." The Heavenly Dao Holy Master saw the expressions of Yang Xiaotian and others, and explained with a smile: "But I’ve only learned a smattering of it."

"Lord Nie Heng!" Upon hearing this, Old Jiang and the others all wore a solemn expression.

Nie Heng was the mentor of the last Lord of Dao Domain!

He was also the foremost authority on formations in the Dao Domain at the time.

The excellence of his capabilities in formations was beyond comprehension.

Even the Primordial Dragon Ancestor of those days held him in the highest esteem.

"Yes, it is indeed Lord Nie Heng," the Heavenly Dao Holy Master said with a smile: "Your Highness, Great Dragon Senior, please." He then opened the Grand Array, inviting Yang Xiaotian and the rest to enter.

Once inside the Grand Array, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master led Yang Xiaotian and the others directly to the main hall.

The group was flying slowly, chatting as they went.

Within the palace, there were all sorts of rare Divine Trees and varieties of scarce Spiritual Medicines.

Some of the materials used for the palace construction were so extraordinary that even Old Jiang was amazed.

Yang Xiaotian even saw a segment of the Sun God Tree Branches.

This segment of the Sun God Tree Branches was planted by the Heavenly Dao Holy Master in a courtyard, emanating a faint Sun Divine Flame.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian looking at the Sun God Tree Branches, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master explained, "This Sun God Tree Branch was found by me on the Golden Crow Divine Mountain in the Demon Ancestor Sacred Land."

"Over the years, I’ve tried all sorts of methods to nurture it, but alas, it has never grown."

He shook his head, his face filled with regret.

"Golden Crow Divine Mountain." Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.

The Heavenly Dao Holy Master nodded: "The Golden Crow Divine Mountain was the breeding ground of the Golden Crow Clan. In the past, the Golden Crow Clan was not weaker than the Kirin Clan, but now, the Golden Crow Clan is on the verge of extinction."

However, such events are all too common in the Dao Domain.

Once they reached the main hall, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master invited Yang Xiaotian and the Great Dragon Ancestor to the higher seats, but Yang Xiaotian declined and sat below the Heavenly Dao Holy Master alongside the Great Dragon Ancestor.

After sitting down, the Heavenly Dao Holy Master had fine wine and Divine Fruits served, and he chatted and laughed with Yang Xiaotian, the Great Dragon Ancestor, and others until midnight, when he personally arranged accommodations for them.

In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotian was thinking of the Yin Yang Demon Clan mentioned by the Heavenly Dao Holy Master earlier. Although the Holy Master didn’t elaborate, his words carried a tone of worry about the Yin Yang Demon Clan.

"Old Jiang, do you know about the Yin Yang Demon Clan?" Yang Xiaotian asked. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Hearing Yang Xiaotian mention the Yin Yang Demon Clan, Old Jiang’s expression became extremely grave as he said, "The Yin Yang Demon Clan is terrifying!"

Yang Xiaotian had spent some days with Old Jiang but had never seen such a serious expression on his face before.

"The Yin Yang Demon Lord is born from the Yin Yang Qi. It is said that the Yin Yang Demon Lord was born before the Dao Domain came into being," Old Jiang stated.

Yang Xiaotian gasped, "Born before the Dao Domain came into existence?" Wouldn’t that mean it’s older than the existence of the Dao Domain itself!

"At the dawn of the Dao Domain, it was the era of the Yin Yang Demon Clan. Back then, the Yin Yang Demon Clan occupied the entire Dao Domain, and all life within the Dao Domain was under their control. That era was the darkest and most chaotic period of the Dao Domain," Old Jiang spoke heavily, even with a trace of suppression in his voice.

Yang Xiaotian’s heart also sank.

"Until later, a person called Gao Yi emerged among the Human Race," Old Jiang continued.

Mentioning Gao Yi, Old Jiang’s tone became reverent, his eyes filled with admiration.

"The first Lord of the Dao Domain!" Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, he is the first Lord of the Dao Domain we had!" Old Jiang nodded, his voice filled with excitement: "Lord Gao Yi led the Human Race’s powerhouses in a fierce battle against the Yin Yang Demon Clan, eventually crushing the Yin Yang Demon Clan’s era in the Dao Domain."

"Crushed?" Yang Xiaotian noticed Old Jiang had only mentioned the word ’crushed,’ not ’exterminated.’

"According to the Divine Tome, the Yin Yang Demon Lord led the remnants to flee the Dao Domain," Old Jiang said, his voice becoming low again: "The Yin Yang Demon Lord did not die!"

The Yin Yang Demon Lord wasn’t dead? Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows: "Do we know where the Yin Yang Demon Clan fled to afterward?"

"No one knows," Old Jiang shook his head: "Afterward, every several eons, the Yin Yang Demon Clan would make a comeback. Each time they returned, the Dao Domain suffered heavy casualties. Last time they returned, the Golden Crow Clan, which was not weaker than the Kirin Clan, was nearly annihilated."

"However, the last appearance of the Yin Yang Demon Clan was tens of millions of years ago."

At this point, Old Jiang’s expression showed deep concern: "Previously, the Yin Yang Demon Clan would return every few million years. It’s been ten million years now without their return, which may indicate they are brewing an even greater conspiracy. If the Yin Yang Demon Clan were to come back again, I fear for the Dao Domain!"

He left unsaid what he feared would happen to the Dao Domain.
