“Huh?
[Astounding Sword Technique: Superior Amber Tier]
[Note: As this blade technique carried no attribute, great talents could yield it to Summit, making it on par with the drive of an Onyx Tier moderate skill.]
He did not find anything he was fond of among the Ice and Fire-path skill techniques. Although there were plenty of moderate and superior choices, none of them suited him.
Not only did he discover the Astounding Sword Technique that was on the side by chance, but it was also an Amber Tier superior skill.
“This will be it then.”
Li Lingtian’s face bore a smile. The characters played on the television back in his past life often carried themselves with poise wielding a sword. Influenced by this tradition, he had taken more of a liking towards sword techniques.
The requirement for great talent was not a big deal. With his past life’s wisdom, he could grasp all skills and techniques at first glance and become adept upon cultivation. The fact that he had cultivated the Breeze Technique after twenty minutes was proof of that. If it were not for the Breeze Technique, he would have died.
“Senior, I want this Astounding Sword Technique.”
Li Lingtian uttered with respect as he pushed forth the Astounding Sword Technique towards the elder.
“Mmm, young man, I would advise you to change this skill. This Astounding Sword Technique may be a superior skill but rarely anyone in Sky Cloud Sect could master it. Based on your talent, you’ll find that a moderate skill will be more in your favor.”
The elder looked at Li Lingtian in the eye after taking a glance at this manual. It was overambitious for a Tier Five Warrior to select a superior skill. Moreover, the Astounding Sword Technique was cultivated by many yet only a handful had mastered it.
In the end, this Astounding Sword Technique was barely anyone’s choice.
“Thank you, Senior, but I’d like to try to comprehend it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll change to another.”
Li Lingtian revealed a smile as he politely said. As this was a superior sword skill, it might not work for other people. However, for someone from the twenty-first century, this was not a big deal.
“Well, that’s up to you. It’ll be two hundred mediocre spiritual stones.”
Although Li Lingtian did not listen to his advice, the elder said nothing further. The words of a wise man often rang true; this young man would come to appreciate the elder’s kind words when he comes to a standstill in cultivation.
“Thank you, Senior.”
Li Lingtian fished out two hundred mediocre spiritual stones from his storage sack and handed them over to the elder before he left with the Astounding Sword Technique. Now that his pocket of eight hundred spiritual stones was lighter by two hundred, he finally realized the importance of spiritual stones.
When he was back in his room, he began to study the Astounding Sword Technique. The act of exchanging skills and techniques with spiritual stones in Sky Cloud Sect was to put pressure on the disciples and create a sense of competitiveness. Yet out there, this superior sword technique would not be worth just two hundred spiritual stones.
It was not heart wrenching for Li Lingtian to fork out two hundred spiritual stones even though the Inner Vital and materials of a Level Six demonic beast combined was only worth ten spiritual stones.
He would not have gained that many Inner Vitals and spiritual stones if it were not for Yang Chongxiao’s storage sack.
[Astounding Sword Technique, a superior skill. Cultivated to its Summit, its drive is comparable to an Onyx Tier moderate skill.]
[There are three forms, also known as the Astounding Three Forms.]
[The first form is Bright Moon in Soft Breeze. Cultivated to its Summit, its drive is comparable to an Onyx Tier inferior skill.]
[The second form is Vast Obscure Extermination. Cultivated to its Summit, its drive is comparable to an Onyx Tier moderate skill.]
[The third form is Thousand Shadows of Fluttering Flowers. Cultivated to its Summit, its drive is comparable to an Onyx Tier superior skill, mastering the swordsmanship of the universe.]
It took him a brief moment to read through the Astounding Sword Technique. The first two forms drove a huge force and even though others may not be capable of cultivating it, it was a different story for him.
However, he was not in the state to decipher the third form as it bore profound wisdom that surpassed any drive or power.
In the next two days, Li Lingtian continuously went over the Bright Moon in Soft Breeze. Not only did he show no signs of slowing down in those two days, but he even forewent the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation.
[Bright Moon in Soft Breeze. The sword strikes like a breeze, moving swifter than the naked eye. The moment the bright sword flashes pass is when the enemy sees blood.]
Li Lingtian gazed at his long sword. The energy around him started to turn strange, it was as if he was a sharp sword.
“Swoosh.”
Following a faint noise of something breaking the void, the gleaming shadow that embodied a bright moon moved in a flash, cutting through the air.
“Rip.”
As the sound echoed in the air, a three-foot-tall rock was split into half while the long sword in Li Lingtian’s hand remained as though it was never swung. If a Warrior Spirit was here, they would surely be able to catch a glimpse of Li Lingtian pulling the sword at such extreme speed.
“Tsk, it is indeed a superior skill. It is already producing such force when I’ve only just mastered it and am barely at Completion. I wonder what kind of Warrior would be able to withstand this strength if I pair it with my Breeze motion technique.”
Li Lingtian smiled at the work of his masterpiece. His decision to choose the Astounding Sword Technique was the right one.
While he was deep in cultivation, the fearsome Lan Hai came face to face with a young man in his twenties who was outside a single cultivation room in the inner sect.
“Brother Hui, you have to vengeance me. My cultivation level’s crippled.”
Hacking with cough, Lan Hai told the young man before him. He had harbored great hatred towards Li Lingtian for defeating him, a Tier Nine peak Warrior, with a single move.
“You piece of trash, you can’t even defeat a Tier Five Warrior. You bring shame to our Lan family.”
Casting a side glance at Lan Hai, Lan Binhui replied with disdain. Although he was surprised that a Tier Five Warrior could defeat a Tier Nine peak Warrior, Lan Binhui did not see any disciples, who were a Warrior and below, a threat.
“I was ambushed. There were four of them.”
With a sour expression on his face, Lan Hai dared not object as it was indeed humiliating to be defeated by a Tier Five Warrior. So, he insisted that he was ambushed.
“I’m an inner sect disciple. I can’t go against the rules and attack a lowly disciple unless it’s outside of the sect, or in the Life or Death Canyon,”
Lan Binhui coldly blurted. It was embarrassing for a Lan family genius to be ambushed, and by a few ordinary disciples too. Nevertheless, his hands were tied because of the sect rules.
“This is easy. I can get them to the Life or Death Canyon.”
“You?”
“Brother Hui, did you forget about Yang Tianchen and the few?”
“Alright, I’ll help you cripple them but you’ll have to hand over the Blue Fleecing Fruit as an exchange.”
“I can’t cultivate anymore so this Blue Fleecing Fruit is for you.”
Lan Hai let out a bitter smile before he unwinded his storage sack and handed over a knuckle-sized fruit. This fruit was a treasure amongst Warrior for its ability to advance Warriors to a higher state.
…
“Senior Brother Li, oh no, Senior Brother Li.”
Li Lingtian was busy cultivating when he heard a familiar voice. So, he turned to walk out of the room before he saw Chen Yun hurriedly running towards him.
“What’s the matter?” Li Lingtian was confused by Chen Yun’s presence. How did Chen Yun find him here?
“Someone has captured Junior Sister Shangguan to the Life or Death Canyon.”
Chen Yun quickly said as he breathed heavily. Seeing Ling Lingtian’s expression, he felt extremely anxious.
“Shangguan Linger? Who captured her?”
Taken aback, Li Lingtian had a bad feeling about this. It must be someone who had an agenda against him or else Chen Yun would not know to find him here.
“I don’t know myself. They said to inform you to go there or else they’ll cripple Junior Sister Shangguan in the Life or Death Canyon. They even told me about where you live.”
Chen Yun described everything that had happened earlier. He was in cultivation when a whistling arrow was fired at him. Attached to it was a note, depicting Shangguan Linger’s whereabouts in the Life or Death Canyon. If they wanted her alive, Li Lingtian had to move forth to the canyon. Li Lingtian’s location was also written clearly on the note.
“Life or Death Canyon, they’re seeking death.”
Li Lingtian coldly snorted before he strode out. Of course, he was well aware of the Life or Death Canyon. It was a place where fellow disciples settled their personal vendettas, and fights that occurred in the canyon were not bound by the sect rules.
Although it was unclear who was messing with him, a few people came into Li Lingtian’s mind and one of them was Yang Tianchen, the Yang family’s genius disciple.
He had already made up his mind that as long as the Yang family stayed away, he would not pick on the Yang family disciples. However, he would teach them a lesson for getting on his nerves.
