Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 953: A Tournament For Heavenly Talents?

Ren Xingyan's pupils opened in shock at Ling Tian's words. His secret that not many people knew about had been seen through this young man! 

"Can you see the sword talent in Xingyan?" Zu Xie asked dumbfounded before slowly regaining his composure. Shou Gonyun also looked at Ling Tian in stupefaction. 

Ren Xingyan is the Young Master of the Myriads of the Emperor's Supreme Sword Sect, and he has an innate sword body that all swordsmen dream of having! 

"His aura is almost similar to my Sword Maid's aura, with a special talent for the way of the sword." Ling Tian replied. 

Li Fengyuan has the unique sword talent for the sword path, with a pure sword heart and a supreme sword body. Her talent is far superior to the talent of Ren Xingyan, who has a special physique known as the Innate Sword Body. It would be easy to say that Li Fengyuan would easily crush Ren Xingyan if the two were to meet at this time, not only because of the difference in their cultivation bases, but also in comprehension and ability in the way of the sword. 

In fact, not only Ren Xingyan; Zu Xie and Shou Gonyun also have sharp auras, like swords wrapped in their sheaths waiting to be unsheathed and slash the world the next second. It's just that Zu Xie and Shou Gonyun have their auras completely restrained and calm, while Ren Xingyan's body still lets out faint breaths of sword aura that only great experts would be able to recognize with a little more attention. 

"Sword Maid?" Ren Xingyan blinked in confusion. There was a female expert who was a subordinate of this sect ancestor with such talent and agreed to be called that? 

"Another disciple..." Shou Gonyun muttered to himself, his gaze shifting between Lan Yin and Qing Sha, also thinking about this so-called Sword Maid and her cultivation level, as well as the elders of this sect such as Hao Zhentian and the others... he also didn't forget the two women Ling Tian mentioned who changed heaven and earth by mobilizing the sun and moon, before turning his gaze towards Ling Tian. 

This mysterious immortal cultivator has many experts under his command! 

"That reminds me... the so-called immortal cultivators of the Heavenly Great Power Sect, are they acquaintances of yours?" 

Zu Xie recalled one of the important topics and said seriously as he looked at Ling Tian. The presence of immortal cultivators in this world will undoubtedly affect the world balance, with their forces being able to even take complete control of the entire Heavenly Earth Continent. 

Not only the strength of immortal cultivators are terrifying, but their techniques should also be powerful. With just a little bit of Ling Tian's aura, Zu Xie had been injured a little badly while trying to perceive what he was doing. 

"No, as I told my disciple brats, these immortal cultivators probably fell over 100 thousand years ago due to a battle they had in the Immortal World, and have been hiding there ever since, probably recovering from their profound injuries while hiding so as not to draw unnecessary attention..." 

Ling Tian looked at Zu Xie for several seconds before saying, "There are also more than 30 other great ascension realm cultivators hiding in that sect..." 

Ling Tian recounted what he had obtained of information. According to the words of Hao Zhentian, Lu Wuhu, Shin Wei and Zhen Bingluo, his disciples who were with him a few days ago helping him while the others did various things and then returned, this Myriads of the Emperor's Supreme Sword Sect, Spiritual Universe Holy Land Sect, and the Ice Heart Essence Sect are worthy of trust and friendship. The relations they have with these sects are friendly and they have even received support from them at the beginning of creating the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect. 

Ling Tian and the ancestor of the Myriads of the Emperor's Supreme Sword Sect, Zu Xie, talked for a while longer before finishing. The sun was about to set on the horizon, causing the sunset all over the place. 

"I have no words to be able to thank you for all you have done for us by enlightening us with your wisdom and experience..." 

Zu Xie stood up and cupped his fists in deep gratitude to Ling Tian. Shou Gonyun and Ren Xingyan also stood up and respectfully bid farewell to Ling Tian as well. 

"If you ever decide to visit the Myriads of the Emperor's Supreme Sword Sect, or are near the place, you are welcome and will be treated with much respect to stay at the sect to rest if you wish!" Zu Xie said seriously, but with a somewhat expectant expression upon seeing Ling Tian. 

After chatting for a long time, Zu Xie, being an expert who has grown both physically and mentally, understood that it was better to befriend Ling Tian or have a good friendship with him. Ling Tian may seem young, but without a doubt his vision and experience far surpassed his own expectations, proving to him that there is a bigger world and a stronger expert every time. 

Moreover, being friends with an immortal cultivator could be of great help in the future once they managed to ascend to the Immortal World. Although Zu Xie could know a little about the Immortal World due to the sect's ancient records, the Immortal World is still completely unknown, and Ling Tian could be his guide. 

Zu Xie did not ask why Ling Tian looked like a cripple, he didn't even inquire. The minds of legendary immortal cultivators were undoubtedly terrifying and full of intrigue. He was only certain that Ling Tian had the strength to kill him easily despite him being a great ascension realm expert. 

"Yes, Senior! You are welcome anytime to our sect!" Shou Gonyun nodded and agreed with Zu Xie's words, adding, "If you have any requests or need anything, our sect will be able to support you as long as it is within our reach!" 

Ren Xingyan was about to say something but restrained himself. He was still curious about this so-called sword maid Ling Tian had mentioned. She might have the same cultivation level as him? Or would she be stronger than him in terms of sword techniques? 

"Alright, no problem." Ling Tian smiled, seeing through these people's thoughts. 

Having witnessed countless cases in the past, and having attained a certain status, Ling Tian was aware that these guys' hidden intentions are simply to befriend him and have a good relationship. But Ling Tian smiled and nodded, his intuition was calm and he could not see falsehood or any hidden evil intentions in them, proving that they are worthy of friendship. 

"By the way, will you be going to the Grand Tournament of Heavenly Talents?" Zu Xie suddenly asked as he remembered something. 

"Grand Tournament of Heavenly Talents?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows, unable to remember about this event. 

"The Grand Tournament of Heavenly Talents is a tournament where all the prides of heaven, young cultivators from all over the continent, will face trials and compete against each other to decide who will be the first supreme youth of the current generation to have paramount strength and talent. This tournament is held every 300 years and cultivators who are less than 500 years old are eligible to enter... many amazing talents always emerge, young people with unique talents!" 

Zu Xie explained in a few words as he saw that Ling Tian seemed not to know about this world tournament. 

"I see..." Ling Tian nodded slowly. If he remembered correctly, there was a bit of information from the past about these kinds of tournaments where young cultivators fought to demonstrate their unique strengths and talents, and thus gain a chance at being chosen by the top heavenly sects, or at least lower sects of the north state and change their destinies. 

Ling Tian didn't know much about this tournament, as he never participated and when he was in this cultivation world in the past, such a tournament was a long way off. 

"The tournament will be held in a little over 3 months... I think you should discuss it with your disciples, because the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect will be invited this time!" Zu Xie stated seriously, and then he couldn't help but glance sidelong at Qing Sha and Lan Yin, who were happily playing with each other while sitting on Ling Tian's lap, not paying attention to the conversation. 

Due to the age limit, it was easy to say that these two girls could be in the top ten... even winning the top places might not be impossible! 

"Uhm, I see, then I'll discuss it with them later." Ling Tian nodded after a few seconds, thinking about this tournament. 

Zu Xie, Shou Gonyun and Ren Xingyan, bid farewell to Ling Tian, Lan Yin and Qing Sha and finally left, abandoning the peak where they were and leaving the sect minutes later. 

"Master, they give off an aura like wind that can cut people..." Lan Yin watched the three individuals disappear into the distance, adding somewhat surprised, "Even that grandfather seems to be very strong like the big brothers and sisters!" 

"En! The other one also seemed very strong!" Qing Sha nodded, referring to Shou Gonyun. Her beautiful amethyst violet eyes shone with curiosity and some seriousness, finally finding people stronger than her that were no family. 

Ling Tian laughed a little amused at hearing Lan Yin's address to the ancestor of a sect, so he smiled and patted both small heads, "We are in a different world now, and we will most likely go to a very different world in the future as well, so you should not rely on the appearances of others. There will be people who will look very old and who would make you think that they are weak grandparents, but it is quite the opposite! Appearances can be deceiving and you should always be on your guard! There could even appear little boys and girls, just like you, who may look very weak or young but could have such great and terrifying strength!" 

""En!"" 

Lan Yin and Qing Sha nodded seriously, but smiled at once full of joy as they felt at ease and happy as they felt Ling Tian's caresses on their little heads. Both girls were still sitting on Ling Tian's lap, not wanting to get down from their favorite place. 

* Purr~ * 

Xuebai, on Ling Tian's shoulder, purred softly, as if she too agreed with Ling Tian's words and said something to Qing Sha and Lan Yin, causing several more giggles. 

"Alright, you girls can play or eat, whatever you want. I'll cultivate for a while." 

""En!""

Ling Tian hugged his two female disciples before returning to the same place where he was previously seated and the members of the Myriads of the Emperor's Supreme Sword Sect arrived. 

Lan Yin and Qing Sha nodded happily, when the next moment they already had several sweets and lollipops in their hands. Xuebai left Ling Tian's shoulder, staying with both girls as she understood that Ling Tian wanted to cultivate. 

Sitting on the shore and looking out over the small but beautiful pond, Ling Tian crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
