Chapter 510: After modification: Chapter 510 Take It Seriously
"This..."
Lin Shu, after hearing the words of the Heavenly Sword Master, couldn’t help but turn her face slightly to glance at him.
However, the Heavenly Sword Master did not wait for her to look and reminded her again. She could only quickly calm her thoughts and said, "Zijian Sect, the matter..." Just like this... because we followed this lead...
Next, Lin Shu detailed the specific process of traversing from the Lower Realm to the status of a core disciple, recounting the "Three Paths, Four Gates, and One Valley" amidst the meteor storm in the Cultivation Domain.
The people around her, such as Shang Yang, remained unmoved when hearing about Ouyang Xu and others treating the Earth like nothing, slaughtering as they pleased. However, when Lin Shu mentioned Yang Tian and his actions—how Yang Tian killed Su Yi and others—they knitted their brows slightly.
As they exited the cosmic passageway, they could feel how thin the Spiritual Energy of Earth was. To them, it was insignificant!
In such an environment, how could they possibly cultivate a boy with such an unstable mental state, who could kill a core disciple like Su Yi as easily as slaying a dog? To them, it made Lin Shu’s story sound fabricated!
Only Qinglong Jianzhong snorted upon hearing this and said, "You said Su Yi said who he was?"
"Yes... it was a monster!" Lin Shu responded swiftly but dared not meet Qinglong Jianzhong’s eyes directly.
As for Lin Zhiru, he lowered his head and remained silent.
At this moment, however, the Heavenly Sword’s Shang Ren, Jinghong Treasure Sword’s Lu Yunsheng, as well as Biyue and Inviting Moon—the two Fairies—had no time to pay attention. They all frowned in astonishment, saying, "What kind of ghostly entity is this?" What happened to Jianzhong? How could there be such monsters in the Lower Realm?
"Are you doubting this seat?"
Faced with the questions of the four people, Qinglong Jianzhong immediately snorted but then slowly opened his mouth and said, "My lord, Brother Li, noticed a magic explosion in the Lower Realm months ago, which is why this main disciple descended to the Lower Realm. Su Yi, Ghost Spirit, and Zhao Xiuyuan—all three were sent down for this matter!"
The Heavenly Sword Master and the others finally understood but remained puzzled.
After all, people like Su Yi, Ghost Spirit, and Zhao Xiuyuan were the would-be leaders of the next three generations. If it weren’t for a significant mission, how could they have been dispatched so easily?
As it turned out, this time, their sect’s core disciples were merely a smokescreen.
The real purpose was for Su Yi and the other two to apprehend the Ghosts in the Lower Realm and establish authority over the true and false worlds!
Unexpectedly, this time, all three of them perished in the Lower Realm, unraveling the hidden truth.
Yet, even after discovering the plans of Zongjian Ridge, Ghost King Zong Qinghou, and Zong Qingming, Shang Ren and others from Heaven’s faction could only bury their grievances deep inside, not daring to complain aloud.
More importantly, this time, the elites of their faction had fallen, making vengeance the top priority.
Otherwise, wouldn’t they become the laughingstock of others?
Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Master immediately opened his mouth and asked, "What happens to the sword wielder beneath this throne?"
"What’s next?"
The Green Dragon Treasure Sword let out a disdainful snort and, with the air of a judge, said, "Though he is a monster, he is merely an ant from the Lower Realm. Daring to kill my disciples is an unforgivable crime. This seat shall abolish his cultivation and take him back to my sect. As for all cultivators in this insignificant Lower Realm, have them buried alongside my disciples!"
"Understood!"
Upon seeing that Qinglong Jianzhong had made his decision, the four of them immediately responded without offering any objections. Even when they heard that Qinglong Jianzhong intended to annihilate the entire population of Earth’s cultivators, they didn’t find anything amiss.
After all, even disciples like Jiang Feng and Ouyang Xu wouldn’t regard Earth’s cultivators as anything worth considering.
"Who’s there?"
A cold, indifferent voice pierced through, just as Lin Shu and Lin Zhiruo’s photograph was being taken.
The Heavenly Sword, Master Ren, and the rest froze in shock!
Even the arrogant Azure Dragon Swordsman couldn’t help furrowing his brows slightly.
When they all looked down towards the source of the sound, they were collectively astonished.
For hovering in the sky above them were Lin Shu and Lin Zhiruo, both looking dazed. And between the two women stood a young man dressed in black, his long black hair cascading down his shoulders. His icy expression carried a cold detachment as he gazed down at them.
More importantly, the youth was so close to them that they hadn’t even sensed his presence until now.
The swordsman standing guard asked immediately, "Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
The young man slowly stood upright, gliding forward effortlessly until he faced the Heavenly Sword Master directly. In a tone devoid of emotion, he said, "You’ve been speaking of Benzi, and now you ask me who I am?"
"You’re... talking?"
Hearing this, Shang Ren of Tianjian became even more perplexed.
At this moment, Lin Shu stepped forward, softly whispering in reminder, "Master... Master, he... he’s Yang Tian."
He is Yang Tian!
He’s Yang Tian?
Upon Lin Shu’s words, Shang Ren from Tianjian, Lu Yunsheng of Jinghong Sword, and the two Fairies Biyue and Inviting Moon looked visibly startled.
Not because of anything else, but because they had been wielders in the Domain long enough to sense that Yang Tian... at this moment, even though he appeared to be early into the Tribulation stage, was undeniably a Tribulation Realm cultivator!
Wasn’t Yang Tian supposed to be struggling through instability?
How could he have ascended to the Tribulation Realm’s early stage?
Did he ascend within three short months, in such a barren Spiritual Energy environment?
Even talents like Su Yi, the Ghost Spirit, or mighty Sect Masters of the Divine Skills couldn’t achieve such a feat.
Still, this shock only lasted a moment. Very soon, whether it was the Treasure Sword, Lan Yueliang, or the Moon Fairy Inviting Moon, regret surfaced in their eyes.
Hearing Lin Shu’s words, Lu Yunsheng sneered outright.
Yang Tian being in the early stages of Tribulation may have surprised them somewhat, but it was a mere surprise.
After all, there were five of them in the group, each having cultivated for hundreds of years, weathering tribulation after tribulation!
Even though they were also in the early stages of Tribulation, each was likely ten times stronger than the newly ascended Yang Tian.
Not to mention, among the five was the Vice Emperor of the Jianling Sect, Qinglong Jianzhong. He was in the mid-stage Tribulation Realm, standing just one step away from the late-stage Tribulation-level overwhelming power!
If Yang Tian had stayed hidden, they might not have been able to find him.
But now that he dared to appear before them, what difference would it make?
"What a pity! For someone to reach such heights in this barren wilderness, there is indeed talent and pride to celebrate. But pride that blinds one to reality and brings one before me... is not pride, but ignorance of the heavens and earth!"
This thought crossed the Heavenly Sword Master’s mind, prompting him to shake his head slightly. He then looked toward Qinglong Jianzhong, who was already preparing to strike!
"So, you’re Yang Tian?" Qinglong Jian coldly gazed at Yang Tian in disdain and asked.
"I am Benzi." Yang Tian answered faintly.
"Then you shall die!"
As Qinglong Jianzhong spoke, his fingers immediately turned into a sword. Without hesitation, he slashed toward Yang Tian.
Suddenly, a green sword beam, towering over 10,000 feet high, descended from his fingertips, tearing through the sky and earth with devastating force, heading straight for Yang Tian.
In the wake of this slash, the entire space trembled slightly, overwhelmed by its terrifying pressure!
"Yang..."
Watching Yang Tian fully exposed to the sword light, Lin Zhiruo couldn’t help but scream out.
But Lin Shu covered her mouth tightly, then fixed her gaze on Yang Tian and the sword light. Her expression turned somber as she sighed, "I’d warned him long ago that even if he survived the disaster and achieved triumph during the Tribulation stage, he mustn’t become arrogant!" But he wouldn’t listen, and now disaster has finally arrived...
