Chapter 37
“Senior, let’s talk about our bet.”
Li Lingtian stood up, suppressed the Flaming Qi within him and returned Fire Dragon’s Heart to his Dantian. He collected himself and restored balance to his body after using Heaven and Earth Reincarnation.
He secretly thought to himself that he would never have dared to use Fire Dragon’s Heart if not for the situation. Li Lingtian’s plans almost backfired and that left him with traces of distress.
“Young sport, you have a future ahead of you. I hope that you won’t disrespect this skill. Also, you must not touch that thing within it before you reach the Warrior Ascendant level, or else even the Gods won’t be able to save you.”
Tian He unwillingly withdrew a flaming red jade slip from his storage sack. He carefully advised Li Lingtian before tossing it over to him.
The future seemed bright for this Warrior with a Flaming Sacred Body. If he could master the skill contained in the jade slip, his capability would improve in leaps and bounds. However, there was something inside the jade slip that even Tian He dared not meddle with. He hoped that Li Lingtian would not touch it too because it could lead to the disciple’s destruction.
“Thank you, senior.”
Li Lingtian used his Divine Mindfulness to access the jade slip. He relied on his cultivation of Heaven and Earth Reincarnation and other experiences to quickly verify the jade slip’s authenticity. While he was in there, the Warrior also saw a powerful seal, which he assumed was the terrifying thing that Tian He had mentioned.
Upon completing his checks, Li Lingtian bowed respectfully at Tian He. This Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse was a man of his word and turned out to be quite a candid character too.
The other warriors’ minds were blown. They had witnessed Li Lingtian claim his winnings and heard Tian He praise him after that.
One should definitely feel proud to receive praise from a Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse. They just never thought that this Warrior level disciple, whom they looked down upon all this while, turned out to be so powerful.
“Alright, we’re done with that so let’s get back to discussing this Hidden Dragon Isle business. If Sky Cloud Sect has Li Lingtian entering as well, there wouldn’t be a problem exiting. You just need to be careful.”
Tian He swiftly switched the topic and began the discussion on Hidden Dragon Isle. He looked over to Li Lingtian with a disheartened smile. It took a strong one to know one, and although this disciple was no Warrior Ascendant, he will definitely be a Powerhouse in time to come.
After that, the elders and masters of Big Four Sects decided that all the disciples from their sects were to refrain from fighting against each other. They should extend a helping hand whenever they could, and when they could not, no internal fighting should ensue.
The three other empires and the other superclans were opponents to the Sky Dragon Empire’s forces. A few other masters had also decided to pass this message on to the other clans in Sky Dragon Empire.
“Radiant Sect’s Cheng Tian, Bo Mu, Xiao Tian, and Liu Xinjun.”
“Misty Pavilion’s Luo Yue, Liu Yiyi, Dongfang Tian, Huo Xiao.”
“Green Jade Sect’s Murong Jiu, Qing Fengting, Zhou Qinglong, Liu Suifeng.”
“Sky Cloud Sect’s Li Lingtian, Zhou Yun, Dongfang Qingyu, Cheng Yan.”
“They are the core elite disciples of Big Four Sects. All the disciples from these four sects, if you did not meet anyone from your own sect, you are required to stand by all these disciples whose name I have just called and remain united as one.
”
“All disciples are to attack those who would start an internal fight and put an end to them. Even if they successfully exit Hidden Dragon Isle, or if they’re geniuses, the Big Four Sects shall cripple their cultivation and expel them from the sect.”
After the Warrior Kings from Big Four Sects had their discussion with Tian He, they gave each other a clap as a gesture of swearing unity among their disciples. Anyone who intended to fight each other would be killed.
This would suffice in uniting the disciples who were about to enter Hidden Dragon Isle. The elders and the Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse had even given each other a clap to affirm their unity. That was enough to prove their determination.
Among all these disciples, Li Lingtian was the only Warrior. Dongfang Qingyu was a Tier Six Warrior Spirit while the rest were all Tier Nine Warrior Spirits, with some only one step away from the Warrior King level.
Most of them thought Li Lingtian was just lucky to defeat Tian He’s Flaming Strength. They dared not offend Li Lingtian though, because they would all be dead if he were to get angry and summon Fire Dragon’s Heart.
Big Four Sects flew for half a day before they finally met the rest of Sky Dragon Empire’s families and forces. Although not as strong as Big Four Sects, they still had quite a number of first-rank genius disciples.
All Sky Dragon Empire’s disciples were made to understand that the empire must unite during this moment as Tian He explained Big Four Sects’ decisions to them. Their greatest enemies were the threat in Hidden Dragon Isle and the super geniuses from other empires.
“Rumble, rumble.”
“Roar, roar.”
After flying for a day, the swift boat contingent came to Borderless Sea. The sounds of pounding waves were especially loud and swift boats were in every single corner of the sky. What a magnificent view indeed.
Li Lingtian watched as countless swift boats flew past each other in the air space. He thought of the World War scenes he had seen on television in his previous life — the skies densely packed with fighter jets.
However, those fighter jets were not as huge as these swift boats, nor were they as majestic.
There were huge airships among the swift boats at Borderless Sea. Each airship was as large as ten swift boats with proportionally stronger horsepowers as well.
Hundreds of swift boats and airships were seen circling over Borderless Sea, but no one landed their vehicles.
All of a sudden, great vigors quaked the sky and tore the surrounding air into shreds. The presence of Tian He the Warrior Ascendant Superhouse was already intimidating enough. However, as they approached Borderless Sea, there were thirty other Warrior Ascendant Superhouses just like him.
Sky Dragon Sect only had one Warrior Ascendant, which was Tian He, who was considered a newbie in that tier while the other super forces were all led by Warrior Kings. The sects of other empires were all led by Warrior Ascendants though. There was a huge disparity between their strengths under such a comparison.
‘Damn it, I’ll have my own fleet of airships next time.’
Li Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at all the swift boats and airships in front of him. All of them were only here to show off, what the heck.
There were hundreds of such vehicles and tens and thousands of powerhouses. Everyone was just minding their own business on their swift boats, engaged in their own meditation and cultivation, and waiting for the opening of Hidden Dragon Isle.
“Once you’ve entered Hidden Dragon Isle, search up north.”
Bai Yan keenly made a voice transmission to Li Lingtian. After they came to Borderless Sea, he kept imparting his knowledge on Hidden Dragon Isle to Li Lingtian and the other three disciples.
He never entered Hidden Dragon Isle, but the others from Sky Cloud Sect had. A few generations of powerhouses had gone in and came out successfully, and their recollections of experiences were passed on.
All the best treasures were located up north in Hidden Dragon Isle. When the time came, those that were teleported out of there usually exited from the north too.
Li Lingtian listened and made mental notes of what Bai Yan said. At the same time, he too instructed the other disciples about the few important medicinal supplies and demonic beast materials that they needed to get at Hidden Dragon Isle.
As days passed, the tidal sounds grew louder while the skies grew darker. The fog had blanketed all of Borderless Sea, and that greatly restricted visibility.
On that very day, a purple electric arc which was over 3 yards long punctured the sky and hit the sea with great destructive force.
“Rumble rumble.”
There was a deafening explosion and the earth began to shake. This was Heaven’s Prestige, and it made all the warriors tremble with fear. Everyone who was brought in front of Heaven’s Prestige was bound to be struck down by terror. Warrior Spirits, Warrior Kings, and Warrior Ascendants alike.
All the swift boats sped backward after the thunderous strike of this electric arc. They all observed Heaven’s Prestige from afar as countless bolts of lightning cracked and struck down from the skies followed by booming thunder.
The whole world seemed like it was coming to an end, which was frightening for all the warriors as their facial expressions were as dark as the skies they were under.
It went on for ten minutes until the lightning finally stopped and the fog in the skies cleared up. It was sunny again. One then realized that a huge rift had appeared in the sky. It was about a third-of-a-mile wide, and its length was ten times its width.
A flood of white light spilled out of the rift?like the silver river from the Ninth Heaven
.
The white light had a diameter of around 110 yards. As soon as it landed straight into Borderless Sea, heaven and earth fused to become one.
“Move!”
As the white light settled, all Warrior Ascendant Powerhouses from the Big Four Sects came forward to surround it and started hurling spells at it.
A massive formation soon rose to encircle the white light. A large green formation disc was tossed into it. Upon completion, all Warrior Ascendant Powerhouses backed away swiftly and stood on the sea banks.
“Get ready with the Onyx Crystal!”
Bai Yan yelled at his Sky Cloud Sect disciples. The seniors from other sects too were getting their disciples ready with onyx crystals, which represented a place in the formation.
One could never enter the formation without the onyx crystal. It was the brainchild of the four great empires and a few super families. There were only ten thousand spots for all. No more, no less.
Li Lingtian took the onyx crystal out from his storage sack and grasped it firmly, waiting to get into the formation.
Quite a number of warriors had already flown towards the formation. Those with the onyx crystal entered without any difficulty. Upon their entrance, the white light drew them into the rift with a pulling force, and they were then out of everyone’s sight.
“Rumble, rumble.”
Five minutes had passed. An explosion cracked out from the rift — a warrior had turned into ashes.
“It was all because your sect’s disciple is over 30 years old. 10 percent of your next entrance quota shall be taken away!”
A Tier Four Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse bellowed across the skies as soon as he saw what happened. He glanced over sternly at an elder from a Southern Empire family, who was quick to admit his mistake and accept the punishment.
No warrior above the age of 30 could enter Hidden Dragon Isle. An immediate death would await them at the rift.
Li Lingtian had a rude awakening as he observed the whole episode. Anyone who was 30 years old would be reduced to ashes. No one would dare to mess around. F*ck. In his previous life, he was 20 years old and 15 in this life. He really got screwed up big time.
Although he was worried, Li Lingtian chose to put up a brave front. As the rest of Sky Cloud Sect’s disciples headed toward the formation, he sped up to follow them, his eyes gleaming brighter than ever.
