Chapter 33
Li Lingtian walked toward the Library Chamber at a leisure pace.
The winner of first place would be rewarded with an Onyx Tier skill, but this skill could only be cultivated by a Warrior Spirit Powerhouse. Even if a Warrior disciple had more than enough spiritual stones, they could not access this Onyx Tier skill.
Once he arrived at the Library Chamber, Li Lingtian explained his purpose of visit. However, the old man glanced at him before a strange look appeared on his face.”
“Are you the Li Lingtian who has won first place at the tournament this time?”
The old man spoke quietly because he was filled with shock. During this period, rumors about Li Lingtian had been spreading throughout Sky Cloud Sect like wildfire. Li Lingtian, who used to be a peripheral disciple, was now a Tier Nine Warrior who had managed to defeat the Tier Six Warrior Spirit, Duanmu Qing!
Despite Duanmu Qing’s possession of Star Radiant Body, he was still killed by Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian was a powerful Genius who possessed the Flaming Sacred Body, Ice Vitality Warrior Soul, and Ice and Fire Warrior Souls. Not only were all the disciples in such awe of him, but he was also used as a yardstick for the others in the sect.
“Yes, I am that disciple.”
Li Lingtian replied respectfully while he waited for the old man to let him pass. Since the old man was guarding this place, Li Lingtian had to respect him even though he was here to retrieve his prize.
“Not bad. You may enter.”
The old man nodded. This young disciple of fifteen-years-old had managed to possess the Ice and Fire Warrior Souls and kill a Tier Six Warrior Spirit Powerhouse. Li Lingtian was definitely a superior existence in every regard.
Li Lingtian immediately walked up to the second floor once he entered the Library Chamber. This was because the Onyx Tier skills that were cultivated by the Warrior Spirit Disciples were kept there.
“Nine Split Fist, an Onyx Tier inferior skill.
“Great Wisdom Scripture, an Onyx Tier inferior skill.
“…”
In comparison to the lower levels, the second floor’s skills were much stronger. Although there were significantly fewer skills and techniques here, all of them were of Onyx Tier.
Li Lingtian started to search the area. Since there was no time limit here, he could look for his skills without worrying at all.
It took him two whole hours to look for a skill. In that time, he had seen almost all of the skills here and noticed that they ranged from Onyx Tier inferior, moderate, and superior skills.
Even though there were only a few types of Onyx Tier superior skills, he did not possess the requirements to use these skills or techniques.
“Onyx Tier moderate: Heaven Falls Earth Rends”
“Oh, this looks interesting. It’s a large-scale attack that is quite similar to the Ice Vitality Divine Fist. But their attributes are different because this is a pure strength-based attack.
“It’s you.”
Li Lingtian picked up the Heaven Falls Earth Rends and looked at it before he nodded happily. Soon after that, he took this Onyx Tier moderate skill and walked downstairs. An Onyx Tier moderate skill like this could definitely increase his strength significantly.
Once he had chosen his desired skill, he immediately returned to his room to meditate and cultivate while time passed quickly.
…
“Uncle-master Bai, I’ve discovered the whereabouts of the Ice and Fire Ring in Sky Cloud Sect.”
A Tier Eight Warrior disciple stood up respectfully on a mountain outside Sky Cloud Sect. The Warrior Spirit Powerhouse who was on the opposite side glanced at the disciple before he looked at the disciple with a stern look in his eyes.
“Did you say that you found the Ice and Fire Ring in Sky Cloud Sect? Tell me what happened.”
If Li Lingtian was here, he would definitely recognize this Elder. During his battle with the Warrior Spirit Powerhouse, Yang Chongxiao, he did not even hesitate to send the disciples below him to their death just so he could obtain his Ice and Fire Ring.
“Five days ago, a Tier Nine Warrior disciple unleashed the Ice and Fire Ring during his battle with a Warrior Spirit Powerhouse at the Sky Cloud Sect Grand Tournament. The Ice and Fire Ring was so powerful that it could not even be destroyed by an ordinary Spiritual Equipment, the Overlord Spear.”
The Warrior disciple explained everything that had happened when Li Lingtian used the Ice and Fire Ring five days ago. As he remembered the look that Li Lingtian gave him that day, he was filled with fear once again.
“In that case, we must think of a way to draw this Warrior out if the Ice and Fire Ring has fallen into the hands of the Sky Cloud Sect. We must obtain the Ice and Fire Ring.
“This Ice and Fire Ring harbors a huge secret. Remember not to act rashly and alert the enemy.”
Bai Yunhe sounded incredibly enthusiastic. Once he had discovered the Ice and Fire Ring’s location, he could think of a way to obtain it. After all, he had spent half a year searching for it.
“Don’t worry, Uncle-master. Li Lingtian will be participating in the training on Hidden Dragon Isle this time. When the time comes…”
A sinister smirk appeared on the Warrior disciple’s face and a dark aura filled the depths of his heart as he recalled Li Lingtian’s gaze. If Li Lingtian did not die, he would have to live with this darkness.
“Hmph, you should go back. When he enters Hidden Dragon Isle, someone else will retrieve the Ice and Fire Ring and bring it back.”
Bai Yunhe looked excited now. When he was done speaking, his figure flashed as he rushed toward the far end of Sky Cloud Sect. The Warrior disciple then scanned his surroundings once before he carefully returned to Sky Cloud Sect.
…
With each passing day, Sky Cloud Sect’s numerous disciples underwent cultivation peacefully. Only a few of them were anxiously making preparations for the opening of Hidden Dragon Isle after one hundred years.
Hidden Dragon Isle was a legendary existence within Eastern Spirit Greenland. The Spiritual Qi there was very intense and the area was filled with countless treasures, medicinal supply, and demonic beasts.
Unfortunately, there was always a prize to pay. After all, a place that was filled with treasure would also have powerful demonic beasts or unknown risks.
That day, Li Lingtian left his room and walked confidently toward the inner sect’s square. Since he was an inner sect disciple now, there was no need for him to live on the periphery. However, he had no time to move to a new house because he had been busy healing his wounds and cultivating for these past few days.
Besides, he had to enter Hidden Dragon Isle in ten days so why would it matter? Hence, it would only make sense for him to move to his new home when he returned from Hidden Dragon Isle.
Numerous disciples had gathered on the square while more than ten Warrior Spirit Powerhouses were standing on the stage. A Warrior King Powerhouse and the mysterious, rarely present Sect Leader Ling Tianfeng were also here.
Seconds ticked by before all the disciples who were participating in the training on Hidden Dragon Isle finally arrived. The two hundred disciples lined up in a square array with Li Lingtian standing at the very front.
Sky Cloud Sect and the Divine Martial Continent had made this rule whereby only the strongest Powerhouse could stand at the front. Besides, it was also a symbol to mark his position.
Although Li Lingtian was merely a Tier Nine Warrior, his strength was unimaginably terrifying. He ranked first among the disciples in Sky Cloud Sect because he had managed to suppress and kill Tier Six Warrior Spirit.
“Junior Brother Lingtian.”
“Senior Brother Lingtian.”
When Li Lingtian arrived, numerous disciples greeted him politely and with respectful looks on their faces. Even the twelve Super Genius disciples greeted him respectfully as “Senior Brother Li” when they saw him.
Li Lingtian had instantly become the main focus. The Elders and other powerful individuals who were standing on the steps smiled at him as well. This showed that a Powerhouse would always be popular.
“Since everyone is here, it’s time for us to travel to Hidden Dragon Isle today.
“Hidden Dragon Isle is located in the Borderless Sea that is ten thousand miles to the South of Sky Dragon Empire. It also happens to be in the center of the Four Great Empires. Elder Bai Yan, Elder Qing Ping, Elder Liu Feng, and Elder Zhu Tian will be leading the expedition to Hidden Dragon Isle this time. You must listen to the four Elders’ instructions during your journey.
“You will spend half a year in Hidden Dragon Isle. After those six months, you will be automatically sent out. We don’t think that all of you will leave from the same place, but we have an inkling of where you will leave from. Every disciple must bring along a responsive jade slip. Once you’re on Hidden Dragon Isle, you will be able to sense the other disciples from your sect as long as you’re within a hundred-mile radius of each other.
“If you encounter danger while you’re outside, you should detonate the jade slip. The Elders from your sect will immediately rush over to the place where the jade slip exploded.”
Ling Tianfeng relayed several matters regarding Hidden Dragon Isle. All of these were basic things. However, only Warriors who were below thirty years old were allowed to enter Hidden Dragon Isle when it opened its doors once every hundred years.
Naturally, these disciples were entering that place for the first time. Moreover, it would be the only time in their life where they were allowed to enter Hidden Dragon Isle.
Li Lingtian briefly sized the other disciples before he realized that he had seen all of them in the hall before. Aside from the disciples who ranked among the first hundred in the tournament, the rest of them were at most Tier Five or Six Warrior Spirits.
Furthermore, there were only six Tier Nine Warrior Spirits. It seemed that Sky Cloud Sect truly deserved its reputation as one of the Big Four Super-sects in the Empire. It was also extraordinary for someone under thirty-years-old to become a Tier Nine Warrior Spirit.
When Ling Tianfeng introduced them, the four Elders stood up and waved at the disciples below them. The Elders would be waiting for these disciples to come back in half a year.
They had spent half an hour organizing everything before Ling Tianfeng and the others left the square. In the meantime, the four Elders had also allowed the two hundred disciples to start preparing themselves. Although they were Warriors, a ten thousand mile journey would take ten days even if they traveled without stopping.
“Brother Lingtian, please be more careful at Hidden Dragon Isle. Mengmeng will be waiting for you to return.”
When Tang Zimeng approached Li Lingtian and quietly murmured, her eyes were swollen red. She knew that it was extremely risky to enter Hidden Dragon Isle because there was a ninety percent chance of dying. Furthermore, all the Geniuses from the Four Great Empires and Eastern Spirit Greenland would be competing against each other at Hidden Dragon Isle.
The girl was worried about Li Lingtian, but she did not want to limit his future because she knew that a good man would aspire to travel far and make his mark.
“Yes, I know. But you don’t have to worry because it’s merely Hidden Dragon Isle. I’ll appear right in front of you again after half a year.”
When Li Lingtian saw how Tang Zimeng looked, his heart was filled with a deep longing for her that lasted for some time. However, he had to become stronger because of this world’s respect for the Powerhouses. If he did not have power, his destiny could be easily thwarted by other people.
The young man could not give up this opportunity because Hidden Dragon Isle was an important training ground. So, he smiled and consoled his fiancee for a while before he passed a storage sack to her.
The storage sack contained several Spirit Binding Pills, Vitality Pills, spiritual stones, and the Kylin Sword. Li Lingtian had no use for these items now, but the items were suitable for Tang Zimeng because she was a Warrior.
Both of them whispered sweet nothings to each other and chatted while the other disciples waited. At this point in time, nobody dared to complain about Li Lingtian. In the end, Xue Da and the other two came over and greeted him as well.
An hour later, a gigantic swift boat appeared on the square. The swift boat was more than three hundred feet in size and it resembled an airship.
