Chapter 167: Striking Up at Lingyun (Part 1)

  Xuān Tiān was taken aback for a moment, and Líng Yì Chén's outburst gave him a feeling that he had never seen before. He had always thought of him as gentle and kind, but it turned out that he could also have such an explosive temper.

  As for Ling Yichen, Xuan Tian had only seen him once and didn't understand him.

  The Tianjian Sect is the foundation of Ling Yidun, who is now over 70 years old. Even as a strong earth-stage cultivator, he cannot withstand the passage of time and will not live for many more years.

  Ling Yichen's only hope in his later years was to see the Tianjian Sect develop smoothly, and the more outstanding the disciples under his gate were, the happier he became.

  Each and every inner disciple is flesh and blood in Ling Yuchen's heart.

  The inner disciple of the Tianjian Sect who went missing in secret, although Ling Yichen had some suspicions, but there was no evidence, only anger, and no reason to express it.

  This time, with Xuan Tian as witness, it was absolutely true that a disciple of Lingyun Sect had ambushed a disciple of Tianshen Sect, causing the latter to go missing. It was like a fuse that completely ignited the anger in Ling Yuchen's heart towards Lingyun Sect.

  There is no evidence, even if Ling Yuchen went to the Lingyun Sect, there would be no reason for him to fly into a rage. No matter how suspicious he was, the Lingyun Sect wouldn't admit it, and if Ling Yuchen made a scene, outsiders would think that he was being unreasonable.

  This time, he finally had a justifiable reason, how could Ling Yichen not be angry?

  He wants to attack the Lingyun Sect and force them to hand over the disciples who attacked Xuantian. This matter quickly spread throughout the entire Divine Sword Dynasty, this is going to give the Lingyun Sect a warning.

  If Lingyun Sect doesn't surrender, then Ling Yuchen is just right, and it's a perfect excuse to turn Lingyun Sect upside down.

  Bai Jianxue naturally knew Ling Yicheng's temperament and thoughts, and said: "Ling Shixiong, Lingyun Sect has been secretly fighting with our sect for decades. This time, we must teach them a lesson. Do you want to bring more people over?"

  Ling Yichen said, "It's not a life-and-death struggle with Lingyun Sect, I alone am enough. If I bring more people, it would only make Shenjianmen and Baxianpai think that Tiangong Sect is intentionally deceiving them. Bai Shidi, after I leave, you go inform Ershidi to be on guard against sneak attacks from those with ill intentions on our sect. And immediately send the message to Shenjianmen and Baxianpai. When I go to Lingyun Sect, I can only stir up some trouble. At the critical moment, it still depends on joining forces with them to suppress Lingyun Sect."

  Bai Jianxue nodded in understanding and said, "Yes, Ling Shixiong."

  Tianjian Sect's two Supreme Elders, one is Ling Yidun, with a cultivation base of three layers in the Earth Stage. The other is what Ling Yidun referred to as 'Second Younger Martial Brother', with a cultivation base of one layer in the Earth Stage.

  Lingyun Sect's Supreme Elder was one more than Tiānjiàn Sect, with one at the Second-Order Earth Realm and two at the First-Order Earth Realm.

  Although the overall strength of the Tianjian Sect is better than that of the Lingyun Sect, the Lingyun Sect is not weak either.

  Ling Yichen can't possibly engage in a fierce battle with Ling Yunzong just because of a few inner disciples. If the strong masters on both sides go all out, then the people at the Pre-Heavenly and Martial Dao levels won't be able to move around Jianghu anymore. One person comes out, one person dies.

  It was for this reason that Ling Yichen made a big deal out of the matter, attracting the attention of Shen Jian Men and Ba Quan Pai. As long as they spoke a word of justice, then Ling Yun Zong would have to bow its head under the pressure of the three major sects.

  Tianjian Sect can only suppress Lingyun Sect slightly.

  Tianjian Sect, Shendao Gate, and Baxing School, the three major sects joined forces, can completely crush Lingyun Sect.

  Tianjian Sect, located at Tianjian Peak in the eastern part of the Divine Sword Dynasty.

  Lingyun Sect, located in the Liuyun Mountains of the southern part of the Divine Blade Dynasty.

  The two places are separated by more than 5,000 miles.

  Ling Yichen was just about to erupt in anger, and without stopping for a moment, he instructed Bai Xue and then grabbed Xuantian, heading outside.

  Out of the "Dust Tower", Ling Yichen's back flashed with light, and two dazzling white lights burst out, forming a pair of huge white wings, over 100 meters long.

  These white wings look lifelike, just like the real thing, and even every single feather can be seen clearly under the bright sky.

  With a flap of his white wings, a beam of light shot out, and he soared into the sky. In an instant, Ling Yu grabbed Xuan Tian and rose to an altitude of several hundred meters. With another flap, they flew to a height of about one kilometer.

  After taking a few more shots, Xuan Tian saw that the Heavenly Sword Peak, which was over 2,000 meters high, had already reached his feet.

  At an altitude of over 3,000 meters, Ling Yidun finally stopped ascending. The white wings continued to flutter and transformed into a stream of light, as fast as the speed of sound, heading in the direction of the Lingyun Sect.

  Flight is an ability possessed by those who are strong in the earthly realm.

  A martial artist in the realm of Wu Dao, cultivates only ordinary internal energy within their body, which is vague and elusive, without shape or form, with the weakest power.

  The martial artist of Xiantian Realm cultivates the innate true energy within his body.

  The innate true energy is the result of a large amount of internal energy condensing and refining, already having the mark of "true", although it is still energy, but there are traces to be found, and can also be seen with the naked eye. According to the different properties of the cultivation method, the color of the innate true energy is also different. The more a martial artist cultivates, the more real and solid the innate true energy in the body becomes, especially after entering the later stage of the innate realm, where the innate true energy becomes more refined and dense through refinement, starting to transform from virtual to real. The more real the innate true energy is, the stronger the power it contains.

  The warrior of the earthly boundary cultivates the true yuan within his body.

  Zhenyuan is the result of a large amount of congenital true energy condensing and refining, which has transcended the category of Qi. It is not only 'true' but also like substance, no longer an illusory Qi. Not only can it be seen with the eyes, but it can also be touched. The power it contains is far beyond what congenital true energy can compare to.

  Congenital true energy, condensed into knife awns and sword awns, fist imprints and palm awns. Although the power is not weak, it is still much weaker than the attacking power of weapons, fists, and palms themselves. A martial artist with a stronger physique can basically withstand the attacks of knife awns, sword awns, fist imprints, and palm awns from a martial artist of the same realm.

  The true yuan is much stronger now, as it has fully transformed into a tangible substance. The objects condensed from the true yuan have transcended the level of sword edges and fist strength, and are almost like real weapons or punches and kicks.

  The strong of the Earthly Realm, with a casual point. The true yuan burst out and can be condensed into a nearly real weapon, even if it is the strongest of the Innate Realm, it can easily kill, and even, the strong of the same realm, do not dare to resist the opponent's true yuan-weaponized attack with their physical body.

  Because, the true yuan condensed into a weapon. The power is enormous, compared to the Xuanjie treasure, it's only stronger, not weaker.

  Because the true yuan has transformed into a tangible substance and can transform at will, it can condense into all kinds of things.

  The wings behind Ling Yichen were condensed from true yuan, just like a pair of real bird wings, and they were even more solid than real wings. Even if it was a Xiantian realm expert using a Xuanjie treasure, they would not be able to damage them.

  The warrior reached the Earthly Realm. Compared to the Pre-Heavenly Realm, it was a world of difference. Just in terms of flight alone, warriors in the Pre-Heavenly Realm couldn't even compare.

  The power of Zhenyuan is more than a hundred times that of the innate true energy. A strong person in the earthly realm can kill an expert in the innate realm as easily as cutting vegetables.

  Ling Yichen brought the Xuantian flying, speeding as fast as sound, more than a dozen hours, flew over 5,000 miles, arrived at Liuyun Mountain Range.

  In the Liuyun mountain range, there are many high peaks and steep ridges, all over a thousand meters above. Among them is one that stands out even more, towering into the clouds. Like the king of all the peaks, it exceeds three thousand meters. Clouds surround and flow around it on all sides, as if within reach.

  This peak is precisely Lingyun Peak.

  The peaks in the entire Liuxian Mountain range are slightly lower than those around Tiānjiàn Peak, except for Língyún Peak, which rises high and is even higher than Tiānjiàn Peak.

  The top of the Lingyun Sect is a vast flat ground, stretching over 500 meters in length and more than 300 meters in width. On it stands a magnificent palace, which is the main hall of the Lingyun Sect, towering higher than the surrounding clouds on the mountain peak.

  Lingyun, riding above the clouds, and the name comes from this.

  In front of the main hall of Lingyun Sect is a huge square, very spacious. In the center of the square, there is a high platform.

  At this moment, on the arena, there are two Lingyun Sect disciples at the Third Heaven of the Innate Realm, who are currently engaged in a sparring match.

  The arena was surrounded by hundreds of Lingyun Sect disciples, at least three to four hundred people. Moreover, around the arena, there were also some middle-aged and elderly individuals with powerful auras, each possessing cultivation in the Later Stage of the Innate Realm, seemingly being the inner sect elders of Lingyun Sect.

  Today is a special day for Lingyun Sect.

  A few days ago, Ling Yunzong's inner door first disciple, Ling Luofeng, broke through the Fourth Heaven of Xiantian Realm and was promoted to core disciple.

  The position of the first disciple of Nei Men was automatically passed on to Zhou Jing, who ranked second. However, Yan Guanxi, who originally ranked fourth, was dissatisfied and challenged Zhou Jing.

  This is a challenge for the first disciple of the inner door, so it has attracted almost all the inner disciples to watch. Zhou Jing and Yan Guanxi's masters and uncles are also present at the scene, hoping that their own disciples can take the first place.

  The two men fought back and forth, exchanging more than twenty moves, until one of them was defeated and knocked off the stage.

  "Yan Shixiong's inner door is invincible......!"

  "Yan Shixiong is the first in the inner door...!"

  At this moment, all the inner disciples of Lingyun Sect cheered up.

  The entire square was filled with cheers and applause, but no one noticed that a white light was rapidly approaching the top of Lingyun Peak.

  Ling Yichen grasped Xuan Tian's arm, still over 3,000 meters away from Lingyun Peak. Suddenly, a layer of true yuan enveloped Xuan Tian. Ling Yichen let out a loud roar: "You rodents of the Lingyun Sect, hand over Ling Luofeng and Yan Guanxi to me!"

  The sound shook open, the air in front was like a storm, shaking off layer upon layer of waves, and the Lingyun Peak was shrouded.

  The sound traveled thousands of miles, but the disciples of Lingyun Sect all looked up at once, as if they had heard a thunderclap.

  Those few elders of the inner sect in the late congenital period changed their faces upon hearing the voice.

  After a few breaths, Ling Yidun brought Xuantian and landed on the stage in the center of the square.

  Several inner sect elders of the Innate Realm's later stage suddenly jumped onto the stage, shielding Yan Guanxi behind them. One of them clasped his fists and said: "So it's actually Heaven Sword Sect's Ling Shixiong. You've come from afar, why didn't you notify us? Our sect would have gone to welcome you!"

  "Get out of here!"

  Ling Yichen swung his sleeve, and a powerful true yuan burst out, causing the air to surge forward. The several inner sect elders of Lingyun Sect, as well as Yan Guanxi, felt an enormous force rushing towards them, their bodies uncontrollable, and they were instantly sent flying backward, crashing off the stage.

  Ling Yichen's gaze swept around, and he shouted: "Huang Tian, who was it that ambushed you in the Yin Wind Mountains? Point them out, and I'll take their dog lives."
