The First Volume of Shen Zhou's Great Land Chapter 105 You Are the True Dragon (Part 1)

  First watch, guaranteed. The situation is critical.

  Xuantian wrote very quickly, in less than half a moment, nearly ten thousand words of the lower-grade sword technique "Blazing Fire Sword" were all copied.

  Put the copy of 'Lihuo Fentian Jian' back in its original place, Xuantian's gaze turned to other fire-based martial skills.

  "Nine Flame Mystical Fire Technique", only has a matching sword technique "Fierce Fire Burning Heaven Sword", and no matching fist, leg or palm techniques. Xuan Tian chose several, selecting one with the highest compatibility with the "Nine Flame Mystical Fire Technique" - "Overlord Fire Knife".

  The name 'Bà Huǒ Dāo' has a knife character, but it's not a knife method, rather a palm method.

  Compared to 'Liang Huo Dian Tian Jian', the secret book of 'Ba Huo Dao' is much thinner, with only about 5,000 words. Xuan Tian also copied it down.

  'Lihuo Fengtian Jian', 'Bahuo Dao', 'Jiuyan Xuanhuo Gong', 'Longhu Bu', 'Guī Yǐng Shénxíng'. At the Xuan stage, all sword techniques, fist and palm skills, cultivation methods, and light body techniques are available. Before the third level of the Pre-Heavenly realm, there is no need to worry about martial arts skills.

  "Good heavens!"

  Xuān Tiān was just about to put down the copy of 'Bà Huǒ Dāo' when a soft voice suddenly came from behind him, close at hand.

  Xuantian's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized someone had approached him from behind, yet he hadn't noticed. He turned around to see an old man about fifty years of age.

  "Are you looking for me, Elder?" Xuan Tian asked, able to sneak up behind him unnoticed. His cultivation was at least above the sixth level of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, Xuan Tian judged, and he was naturally an inner sect elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

  The old man nodded and said, "Follow me."

  Having spoken, the old man turned around and walked away. He headed towards the room leading to District 2. Xuan Tian followed him.

  "Does the elder of the Second Ring know this little brat Huang Tian?"

  "I wonder what Elder Jia called him over for?"

  "Hmph, even with a powerful backer, it's useless. Chu Shixiong's father is the head elder of the Penal Law Hall, and offending Chu Shixiong would make it difficult for him to take a single step in our sect."

  "Alright, Elder Jia can't control the internal disciples' challenges. Wait till we leave the Martial Skills Pavilion and challenge him again, beat him to death."

  ……

  Looking at the background where Jia Lao disappeared, several disciples who had shown unfriendly expressions towards Xuan Tian before whispered to each other.

  Xuantian followed Jia Lao into the room, apart from the entrance door, there were two other doors in the room. One was opposite the entrance door and led to District Two, while the other door was on the right wall and led to another room.

  Jia Zhanglao led Xuan Tian through the door on the right and into another room.

  The room is slightly larger, with two people sitting and standing inside.

  The person sitting, with white whiskers and hair. His physique is robust and tall, even when seated, he appears to be very majestic, like a high mountain, making people look up at him in awe. The only astonishing thing is that this person's left sleeve is empty and fluttering, as if only his right arm remains.

  The man standing there, over fifty years old, has a majestic and towering presence, with an aura that overshadows others.

  The person standing, Xuan Tian had met once before. It was the First Elder of the Wuji Pavilion - Wu Zhenkun. When Xuan Tian was still an outer disciple, he had a fight with Chu Feng for the second time in the Wuji Pavilion, and it was Wu Zhenkun who intervened to stop them.

  Wu Zhenkun is a master of the First Heaven Realm's 9th layer, the first elder of the Martial Techniques Pavilion, and in the entire Tianjian Sect, only second to the sect leader and the great elder. Yet, he has to stand before this white-haired old man, seemingly one generation lower. What is the identity of this white-haired old man?

  Xuantian's heart suddenly flashed with insight, and he had a revelation.

  Jia walked quickly into the room and approached the white-haired old man, saying respectfully: "Ling Shu, Huang Tian has brought him."

  A single sentence "Ling Shu Shu" confirmed Xuan Tian's speculation, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment. This legendary figure of the Tianjian Sect had actually come to see him specifically, which was truly astonishing to Xuan Tian.

  This person is none other than Ling Xingyue's grandfather, the powerful Ling Yidun of the Tianjian Sect. In the third layer of the Sword Pavilion, his name is listed before Chu Feng's.

  Ling Yichen nodded, and Jia Zhanglao bowed and retreated, standing aside.

  Ling Yidun looked over and saw him. Xuan Tian cupped his fists and said: "Disciple Huang Tian, greetings to Ancestor Ling, Elder Wu."

  Wu Zhenkun's face revealed a smile, and he nodded at Xuan Tian.

  Ling Yichen then waved his hand and said, "Very good, very good, Huang Tian, you did not disappoint me."

  Xuántiān was taken aback for a moment and thought to himself: Could it be that Líng Zǔshī has been paying attention to me all along? Otherwise, why would he say such things?

  Xuan Tian's expression turned solemn, and he smiled faintly, saying: "As soon as Xing Yue returned from the Yin Wind Mountain Range, she mentioned you to me. I watched your match in the ranking tournament, and it was quite impressive. You're a very good seedling - in just over three months, you've become an inner disciple and have already passed the third layer of the Sword Pavilion. Your growth is beyond my expectations. Judging from your performance, you shouldn't be newly entering the Pre-Heavenly realm; at least a month has passed, right?"

  Xuantian said, "Ling Shizu's wisdom is like a torch."

  Ling Yichen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he said: "So to speak, in just two months' time, you've gone from the ninth rank of the Martial Dao realm to entering the Xiantian cultivation!"

  Wu Zhenkun and Jia Changlao on the side both showed a look of shock in their eyes.

  Xuántiān nodded slightly.

  Ling Yichen's eyes showed a relieved expression, and he said: "Your potential is indeed superior to Chu Feng. You have been performing mediocrely until last August 15th, when you fainted at Hidden Sword Pond. After that, your cultivation suddenly skyrocketed, unstoppable and soaring to the sky. It seems that you had an extraordinary encounter in Hidden Sword Pond. That Hidden Sword Pond appears a sword shadow every August 15th on the night of the full moon, it seems there is indeed some secret."

  Xuān Tiān's heart skipped a beat, unable to determine what Líng Yì Chén meant by his words, and fell silent.

  Xuan Tian's face was solemn, but Ling Yuchen smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry, I won't ask you about the Hidden Sword Abyss. More than thirty years ago, when the sword shadow first appeared in the Hidden Sword Abyss, many people went down to investigate, including myself, but none of us gained anything. The fact that you were able to gain a strange encounter in the Hidden Sword Abyss shows that it was your destiny, this is heaven's will, and no one else can take it away from you."

  Seeing Ling Yichen's calm demeanor, Xuan Tian relaxed a lot and said, "To be honest with Master Ling, I myself am also puzzled and haven't figured out why."

  "These are all unimportant, what's important is that you're a disciple of my Tianjian Sect, your talent is monstrous, your comprehension is astonishing, and you've obtained an extraordinary encounter, with unmatched aura, your future achievements will be boundless, this is the great fortune and joy of our sect."

  Ling Yichen's praise made Xuan Tian somewhat flattered, although it sounded pleasant to hear, but Xuan Tian was after all a low-key person, and hearing this couldn't help but feel a bit awkward, saying: "Master Ling is overpraising."

  "Hahaha……!" Ling Yichen burst out laughing, Wu Zhenkun and Jia Lao also couldn't help but laugh. The three of them looked at Xuan Tian, Ling Yichen said: "You'll feel embarrassed, or you're still young, people can't be too proud, but your skin should be a bit thicker, no need to be overly humble."

  "What Master Ling said is right."

  Xuān Tiān nodded, although he had lived two lifetimes, in his previous life he hadn't lived past twenty years old. Adding the two lifetimes together, he was only over thirty years old. In front of these three people, he indeed looked very young.

  "I don't know why Patriarch Lingzong summoned me, what's the matter?" Having spoken for so long without getting to the point, Xuantian asked on his own initiative.

  Ling Yichen said, "I called you here to tell you that you are the greatest hope for our sect's future. I place great importance on you and have high expectations of you. However, I also want to tell you that our sect will not open a convenient door for you. All paths must be walked by yourself. Just because you possess extraordinary talent and astonishing insight, I won't treat you like a flower in a greenhouse."

  Xuantian exclaimed: "Isn't there still Chu Feng, Shixiong?"

  Although Chu Feng was his opponent, Xuan Tian had to admit that Chu Feng was the first genius of the Heavenly Sword Sect in sixty years since Ling Yi Chen.

  "He's not as good as you, I don't want to raise him like a flower in a greenhouse, but his father disagrees with me. He gives him everything he wants, and it all comes too easily for him. He doesn't know the hardships of martial arts, which has led to his arrogant and self-important personality, thinking he's superior to others. He doesn't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth. If he encounters adversity, this kind of personality will suffer greatly."

  He said, pointing to his empty right arm: "When I was young, my sect also cultivated me in a greenhouse. Everything went smoothly for me, and I was a bit arrogant until I left the Divine Sword Dynasty and traveled to the outside world, losing an arm. Only then did I realize that this world is full of strong people, and geniuses are as common as rain. Only those who have worked hard on their own martial path can become truly strong. Those who are cultivated in a greenhouse can only be considered high-level experts at best. Chu Feng's path is different from yours. He may break through to the Earth Stage boundary and replace me as the sect's strongest expert, but compared to the outside world, he can only be considered an expert. However, you will become a truly strong person, no matter where you go."

  Xuantian asked: "What did Master Ling mean by telling me these things?"

  Ling Yichen said, "Although you have exceptional talent, the sect will not give you special treatment. You need to rely on your own efforts to achieve what you want, rather than relying on the sect's favoritism. If there are any problems, try to solve them yourself as much as possible. With your qualifications, many senior elders of the inner sect would definitely want to take you in as their personal disciple, but I secretly suppressed it. Do you know why?"

  Xuantian Dao: "Ling Zu Shi is thinking that no matter what I want to achieve, I must work hard by myself and not rely on others."

  Ling Yidun nodded and said, "This is one reason. Another reason is that I think no one in our sect has the qualifications to be your master, including myself. You are a true dragon, currently trapped in this small place of Shen Dao Wang Chao. One day, you will break free from the shackles and soar into the sky. You will surpass everyone in our sect, including our ancestors. Your future is not just limited to the Northern Domain, but the entire Divine State. I am 75 years old this year. From my youthful arrogance to my middle-aged setbacks, having my arm cut off, experiencing hatred and troubles, to my peaceful state of mind in old age, my life experiences have allowed me to see through the complexities of the world. I will not misjudge you."
