Chapter 32: Peerless Spiritual Equipment
"Speak."
Ling Tianfeng looked extremely troubled when he heard that Duanmu Qing was dead. Although he was terribly shocked on the inside, he could not lose his cool because he was the Sect Leader.
"During the final match, Li Lingtian challenged Duanmu Qing who was using the Star Radiant Body. Li Lingtian used the Ice Vitality Divine Fist to kill Duanmu Qing. While Li Lingtian was using the Flaming Sacred Body and Ice Vitality Warrior Soul, he simultaneously turned the Ice Vitality Divine Fist into the Three Hundred Yard Frost. The disciples tried to stop him, but it was useless. As one of the disciples, I am also guilty of Duanmu Qing's death. Sect Leader, please punish me."
Qin Tian trembled as he verbally recounted the final match. He neither exaggerated the things that had happened nor concealed anything at all. Qin Tian had purposely mentioned Li Lingtian's use of the Flaming Sacred Body and Ice Vitality Warrior Soul.
That way, the disciples would receive a lighter punishment if their Sect Leader was also shocked by Li Lingtian's innate talents. Moreover, Qin Tian would not betray Li Lingtian. Although Li Lingtian was merely a Warrior now, he had a bright future ahead of him.
"Star Radiant Body? Flaming Sacred Body, Ice Vitality Warrior Soul, Ice and Fire Warrior Souls?"
Ling Tianfeng's expression changed drastically. As a Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse, he naturally understood that these types of Warrior Souls and their components were extremely powerful. Even until the end, he was still shocked by Li Lingtian's Ice and Fire Warrior Souls. However, Ling Tianfeng felt bad that the Star Radiant Body had been destroyed.
"You there, step forward."
Nobody dared to speak. Everyone had dumbfounded looks on their faces because what Qin Tian had said resembled a loud and thunderous noise that seemed like it had crushed their fragile hearts.
Ling Tianfeng's stern gaze was fixed on Li Lingtian before he waved at the young man.
"I, disciple Li Lingtian, would like to pay my formal respects to you, Sect Leader."
Li Lingtian respectfully bowed and stood still when he was about thirty feet in front of Ling Tianfeng. He looked at the older man calmly while the entire hall turned quiet the instant their gazes met.
"Boom!"
A frightening force erupted and the Warrior Ascendant's repression instantly enveloped Li Lingtian. Feeling as though he was being crushed by a mountain, Li Lingtian's face turned completely pale.
The repression instantly disappeared as soon as it arrived. However, Li Lingtian felt as though all the strength in his body had been sucked out of him like air. He nearly sat on the ground, but since his gaze was still fixed on Ling Tianfeng, he did not show any sign of flinching.
"Alright, alright.
"As for the Ice and Fire Warrior Souls, please keep in mind from now on that you are strictly forbidden from killing your fellow disciples in the sect.
"The sect has previously used this, so it might save your life."
Everyone had felt the uneasiness but none of them dared to catch their breath. All they could do was stare at Li Lingtian and Ling Tianfeng while they secretly wondered how the teenager would endure the Sect Leader's rage.
However, Ling Tianfeng's words shocked everyone. They had never imagined that he would let Li Lingtian off without punishing him, much less give him one of his prized possessions as well. Yet, the onlookers watched as a jade slip flew toward
Moments later, they finally understood why this had happened. Since Li Lingtian had managed to kill Duanmu Qing despite the latter's powerful Star Radiant Body, this meant that Li Lingtian's Ice and Fire Warrior Souls were definitely stronger than the Star Radiant Body. The Sect Leader would not kill this Genius because he had just lost one earlier.
"Your humble disciple thanks you, Sect Leader."
Li Lingtian took the jade slip and kept it inside his storage sack without even looking at it. He gave Ling Tianfeng a bow before he stepped back and stood with the other disciples.
"All four of you will spend a year reflecting on your mistakes, and your benefits will be deducted for two years."
Ling Tianfeng turned to the four Elders and coldly spat. He then waved his hands hurriedly and instructed all four of them to withdraw themselves.
"Thank you very much, Sect Leader."
The four Elders were shocked for a while before their hearts were immediately filled with joy. This punishment was not severe at all! They knew that the Sect Leader was showing them mercy because all four of them would definitely be stripped of their titles as Elders if they were punished according to the previous rules.
"I will handle this matter.
"The competition was brought forward this time in regards to the matter at Hidden Dragon Isle. That place is only opened once every hundred years and this is going to happen soon. The Sky Cloud Sect has a quota of two hundred individuals. The disciples who ranked among the first hundred are included, but anyone who is over thirty years old is strictly forbidden from entering.
"Hidden Dragon Isle is one of the most mysterious practice grounds in Eastern Spirit Greenland. There is an abundance of medicinal supply, demonic beasts, and treasure there. However, it is also extremely dangerous. Numerous disciples from the Four Mysterious Clans in the Four Great Empires will be entering Hidden Dragon Isle. All of you are impressive Geniuses, so I hope that you will be able to make the Sky Cloud Sect proud.
"Every time Hidden Dragon Isle opens, it will also be a time for all the great forces to change their ranks. If you want to stabilize your position in the Sky Cloud Sect, you must gain more resources from Hidden Dragon Isle.
"I'm not going to mention other things, but I hope that everyone will work hard when we leave for Hidden Dragon Isle in ten days. After the expedition to Hidden Dragon Isle, it will be time for Sky Dragon Empire's ranking battle that is only held once every ten years. All of you should work hard."
Ling Tianfeng relayed the matters about Hidden Dragon Isle before he finally announced the names of the disciples who would be entering that mystical place. Fortunately, Li Lingtian was one of them.
When Li Lingtian left the hall, one of the disciples below him gifted him a bottle of pills. So, Li Lingtian politely accepted the pills from him and walked out of the hall.
He knew that Qin Tian had asked his disciples to bring him this bottle of pills from the Medicine King Valley. It was a place in the Sky Cloud Sect that specialized in refining pills.
After Li Lingtian had left the hall and returned to his room, he realized that several people were already waiting for him there.
"Brother Lingtian, how are your injuries?"
As the first person who saw Li Lingtian, Tang Zimeng quickly ran forward and held his arm before she asked him about his wounds in a concerned manner. The other people also had worried looks on their faces when they approached him.
"It's not serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Li Lingtian smiled as he looked at Tang Zimeng, Xue Da, and the others. He certainly had good friends.
After that, Li Lingtian returned to his room and chatted with the group for a while. Before Tang Zimeng and the others left the room, Li Lingtian suddenly passed them some pills and spiritual stones because he realized that they needed it more than him.
Li Lingtian could easily refine those pills on his own. Moreover, he would end up with too many spiritual stones and pills since he was already going to Hidden Dragon Isle.
Inside the room, Li Lingtian sat down cross-legged before he exerted all of his energy and used the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation to suppress his wounds. He also used the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation to suppress the Fire Dragon's Heart and Immemorial Ice Crystal to bring back the balance.
The Heaven and Earth Reincarnation was not a technique of this world. Nonetheless, it surpassed this world's godlike existence. Hence, Li Lingtian would be extremely powerful if he could control the Ice and Fire Warrior Souls inside his body.
The technique circulated for an entire day before the Immemorial Ice Crystal was suppressed once again. Li Lingtian had also managed to suppress the Fire Dragon's Heart. However, he realized that he had gained more control over those two beings now.
As long as Li Lingtian strengthened his cultivation, he would be able to support those two mystical beings in the future.
During the next three days, Li Lingtian used the Grade Four Sacred Healing Medicine and the Ten Thousand Spirit Pill to heal his wounds. With that, his injuries were eventually healed.
He could vaguely sense that his cultivation had greatly improved this time, to Tier Nine Warrior Peak Perfection. Although he could not advance his True Qi anymore, at least it was much purer than before.
"The Grade Four Ten Thousand Spirit Pill is actually a type of Sacred Healing Medicine."
A satisfied look appeared on Li Lingtian's face when he looked at the pills inside the jade bottle. As Grade Four Pills were also a superior existence in Eastern Spirit Greenland, he had never imagined that his sect would give him a whole bottle of it.
Everything was down to strength. If the sect noticed a strong individual who had great potential, they would not hesitate to nurture them. Unfortunately, anyone who was neither powerful nor talented would not receive a single pill, much less an entire bottle of Ten Thousand Spirit Pills.
Since he had used five Ten Thousand Spirit Pills to heal his wounds this time, there were ninety-seven pills left inside the jade bottle. These wound-healing pills were a divine item that Warriors would always carry with them.
So, he kept the pills before he took out his storage sack. The prizes inside would definitely cause the other disciples in the sect to go crazy.
Li Lingtian did not care about the twenty thousand mediocre spiritual stones. He had two bottles of Spirit Binding Pills, so he gave one bottle to Tang Zimeng and he allowed Xue Da and his two other friends to share the second bottle. Li Lingtian also gave each of them one thousand spiritual stones.
Right now, he was only left with seventeen thousand spiritual stones. Although he had given out all of his Spirit Binding Pills, he could refine more of them later.
However, the things that he cared about the most were the Onyx Tier moderate Spiritual Equipment and the item that Sect Leader Ling Tianfeng had given him.
Li Lingtian could not use the Spirit Void Pill until he became a Warrior Spirit. This divine medicine, the Spirit Void Pill, would only be used by Warrior Spirit Powerhouses to strengthen their cultivation. Moreover, this pill was also essential for Warrior Spirit Powerhouses who were attempting to become Warrior Kings.
"It's a Peerless Spiritual Equipment, the Cloud Startling Sword."
An excited expression appeared on Li Lingtian's face when he looked at the weapon in his hand that was as wide as his palm. Although it seemed like a small blade, this Peerless Spiritual Equipment was extremely powerful.
It was uncommon even for the average Warrior King to own a Peerless Spiritual Equipment. Not only was this weapon expensive, but it was priceless.
"Cloud Startling Sword, start cultivating."
When his Divine Mindfulness stirred, a strand of Blood Essence shot out of his finger. With that, the Cloud Startling Sword immediately leaped up and started to spin in the air while numerous mysterious and dark spells were unleashed.
"Shh, shh."
Faint noises echoed from the inside of Cloud Startling Sword before Li Lingtian formed traces of a connection with the weapon.
"Return."
Ten minutes later, Li Lingtian had managed to catch the Cloud Startling Sword with just one hand when it returned to his palm. Suddenly, a terrifying Spiritual Qi drifted out from the blade.
The Cloud Startling Sword and the Kylin Sword were worlds apart. They were completely different because one was a peerless Spiritual Equipment while the other was an ordinary Spiritual Equipment.
"If I used this peerless Spiritual Equipment, the Cloud Startling Sword, and unleashed the Bright Moon in Soft Breeze form now, anyone who is less than a Tier Three Warrior Spirit would be no match for me."
Li Lingtian made mental comparisons upon sensing the Cloud Startling Sword's impressive force. When he previously killed an Earth Dragon, he had to use the Kylin Sword and Vast Obscure Extermination to get rid of it. However, if he used the Cloud Startling Sword now, he would be able to solve his problems easily.
The Cloud Startling Sword was three feet long and two inches wide. As an intense Spiritual Qi dispersed from the weapon, a silver glow curled around it like beautiful autumn waters.
When Li Lingtian's Divine Mindfulness stirred, the Cloud Startling Sword was immediately sheathed before it kept itself inside his storage sack. Moments later, Li Lingtian started to examine the light gold-colored jade slip that Ling Tianfeng had given him.
"Change your shape."
Suddenly, Li Lingtian was filled with shock. He had never imagined that a jade slip like this would be a priceless treasure. Upon using it, it seemed like he had possessed a clone and that it could act as his replacement.
In other words, this jade slip could save his life when he used it unless he was fighting a Warrior Ascendant-level Powerhouse. Otherwise, it would be unlikely that anyone who ranked lower than a Warrior Ascendant could kill him.
However, he could only use this jade slip for a limited number of times. Since his seniors had previously used it, he could only use it once now.
Treasures like these were a rare commodity throughout Eastern Spirit Greenland. As such, it showed how powerful the Warrior Ascendant Powerhouses were because they had managed to craft these treasures on their own. With that, Li Lingtian kept his precious jade slip before he finally started to cultivate.
