After Ling Tian woke from his sleep, he took out the two swords and techniques from his spatial bag and began thinking about what he would do with these treasures.
"Well, I can't use the swords because anyone who knows Fu Zhu or that supposed senior brother will recognize the swords. Then I'll be in trouble," Ling Tian thought calmly, then moved on to the techniques he had found.
"Good. The techniques from the Ji Lian Pavilion would disappear immediately, so most likely these techniques aren't from the Ji Lian Pavilion," Ling Tian thought as he glanced at the techniques he had found in the Ji Lian Pavilion cultivator's bag.
"Alright, I'll sell the swords along with the techniques I found from Fu Zhu's bag at the Black Market," Ling Tian thought cautiously.
Then after that, he began studying the techniques he had found inside the Ji Lian Pavilion cultivator's bag.
There were three techniques in total. First was the Swan Movement Technique, second was the Six Forms Sword, and finally, a fire control technique.
Ling Tian was curious about the fire control technique, so it was the first thing he studied.
After Ling Tian finished studying the technique, he was at the peak of ecstasy because this technique not only increased the power of his flames, but also helped him control fire with more precision than the technique from the Ji Lian Pavilion.
"I've been stuck at a ninety percent success rate in refining Qi Replenishing Pills, but now I'm certain I'll reach a one hundred percent success rate," Ling Tian thought enthusiastically as he looked at the technique in his hands with a silly smile.
After that, Ling Tian took the Swan Movement Technique and began studying it.
After Ling Tian finished studying the technique, he gasped in surprise and realized why Fu Zhu had seemed tired despite his cultivation level being higher.
"Not only does it reduce fatigue, but it also gives you speed one level higher than your cultivation if you master it," Ling Tian thought in shock.
Ling Tian was in ecstasy and thought happily: "In this secret realm, the ability to escape is the most important thing, especially with my cultivation level. I must learn this technique as quickly as possible."
Finally, Ling Tian studied the Six Forms Sword technique, which, although it wasn't as magnificent as the Swan Movement Technique, was also good because it consisted of six consecutive movements, and the sixth movement unleashed a strike one level higher than your cultivation.
Although it seemed amazing, Ling Tian quickly realized its flaw: "If I use it against someone stronger than me, I won't even be able to reach the second movement before I cough blood."
Ling Tian shook his head slightly with amusement and thought calmly: "But it's not bad in a fight with someone at the fifth level. I'll have the upper hand. But now I should focus on the Swan Movement Technique."
After Ling Tian studied all the techniques, he decided to begin learning the Swan Movement Technique.
Ling Tian continued training until morning finally arrived.
"Alright, we should go search for treasures. We didn't enter just to train in caves," Ling Tian said to Ling Yan as he removed the rock from the cave entrance.
Ling Yan growled enthusiastically because he was eager to try out his new strength.
And so, three days quickly passed with Ling Tian wandering in the morning to gather herbs, and at night finding a cave to train in the Swan Movement Technique.
But what Ling Tian or anyone inside the secret realm didn't know was that shocking news had spread throughout Lin Hua City.
After investigation, the Ji Lian Pavilion and the City Lord discovered that this secret realm appeared once every ten thousand years, but each time, no one who entered the secret realm ever came out.
This news shocked everyone, and all those who had been disappointed because they hadn't entered were now very happy.
Of course, Ling Tian didn't realize he was now in unknown danger and was happily picking herbs.
"Fortunately, I have more than one spatial bag, otherwise I wouldn't know what I'd do," Ling Tian thought as he placed the herbs in a different spatial bag because his bag had become full.
Suddenly, Ling Tian heard an explosion that seemed close to his location, so Ling Tian began approaching slowly.
The closer he got, the worse the trees and leaves looked, and the blood stains on the trees made the smell of the place disgusting.
When he got close enough, he noticed two people fighting with sixth-level Qi Condensation cultivation, although they were severely injured.
At first, Ling Tian didn't recognize them, but after scrutinizing a bit, he realized one of the people was Dan Wen. As for the other, he didn't recognize him.
Ling Tian was confused why they insisted on fighting despite their severe injuries, but he didn't remain confused for long.
Because Dan Wen said with red eyes while placing his hands on his blood-filled stomach, his hand holding the sword trembling: "You scoundrel Qin, do you think that because you took refuge in the City Lord's Palace I'll forget how you killed my little sister after brutally violating her?"
Cultivator Qin said while panting and placing his hand on his injured shoulder with difficulty: "You scoundrel, if it weren't for the Ji Lian Pavilion protecting you, you wouldn't have remained alive a single day after you killed my wife and son. Today I won't rest until I send you to your whore sister."
Dan Wen answered, his red eyes growing even redder, and said painfully: "You can find another wife and have another son, but where do I get another sister? You scoundrel, today if I don't kill you, I won't be called Dan Wen anymore."
After Dan Wen said that, the two began fighting again.
Now Ling Tian felt sorry and angry for Dan Wen, but he didn't lose his composure because he realized that if he intervened now, Cultivator Qin might escape, so he decided to be patient and plan.
After a while, an idea that might work came to him, so he looked at Ling Yan, and without explaining, Ling Yan had already understood.
While Dan Wen and Cultivator Qin were fighting, a fireball was suddenly launched toward Cultivator Qin, which shocked him, but he managed to dodge it with difficulty. Cultivator Qin shouted: "Who?"
Ling Tian appeared from behind the trees and shouted: "Brother Dan, I'm here to help you!"
Dan Wen didn't speak and began directing strikes at Cultivator Qin, and during this time, Ling Tian was throwing fireballs. Although they didn't pose a fatal danger to Cultivator Qin, they were annoying.
Cultivator Qin screamed: "Boy, you shouldn't have interfered in something that doesn't concern you!" After saying this, he activated a movement technique.
Dan Wen tried to stop him, but he was inferior to him in movement techniques, so he shouted: "Junior Brother, be careful!"
But it was too late because Cultivator Qin had reached Ling Tian, and when he swung his sword, Ling Yan appeared from the side to launch a sneak attack.
Cultivator Qin was shocked when he sensed the attack, so he withdrew his energy from the sword, which caused him to receive a minor injury in order to be able to respond to Ling Yan's attack. Fortunately for him, he had succeeded in deflecting the strike.
But Ling Tian, who had been waiting for some time, swung his sword.
Cultivator Qin was happy that he survived Ling Yan's sneak attack.
However, he was shocked when he felt a strike with the power of a fifth-level Qi Condensation cultivator coming from his side. He tried to defend, but it was too late because Ling Tian was very close.
When the sword struck Cultivator Qin, he felt terrible pain, then blood splattered on Ling Tian after the swing completely split Cultivator Qin's stomach open and blood began gushing profusely.
"The Heaven's Pulse Technique is truly wonderful. When I was at the first level, I could execute one strike and it would exhaust all my strength. Now it only exhausts half," Ling Tian thought calmly as he watched Cultivator Qin on the ground breathing with difficulty, unable to move.
Dan Wen was shocked by this scene, but he stepped forward to Cultivator Qin and said angrily with tears in his eyes: "Didn't I tell you that today is the day of your death, you scoundrel? She would have been twenty years old now if you hadn't killed her."
Cultivator Qin didn't answer because he was still shocked. He looked at Ling Tian and said while coughing: "How... how can you be this strong?"
Ling Tian said nothing, and Dan Wen quickly killed him in a way that could only be described as savage. Then afterward, he approached Ling Tian and knelt while saying with eyes full of tears: "Junior Brother, thank you. Without you, I might never have gotten my revenge. From today on, even if you want my life, it's yours."
Ling Tian answered him sarcastically: "What would I do with your cheap life? All I want is for you to keep my strength secret."
"Junior Brother, you know me. It's impossible for me to harm my friend, let alone my benefactor," Dan Wen said seriously.
"Of course I know this. If it had been someone else, I wouldn't have intervened at all," Ling Tian answered with some amusement.
But when Dan Wen heard this, he realized how much Ling Tian valued him, and he engraved this kindness in his heart.
