Chapter 8: Finally Broken Through

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Xu Tian handed the secret manual to Ying Zhuxia, another ‘ding’ sound suddenly sounded in Xu Tian’s head, and it was the system’s notification.

“Since you have given the bound disciple a third-grade sword technique—Cloud Piercing Swordsmanship, you will receive a sixth-grade sword technique—Evil Purge Swordsmanship!

Although the swordsmanship was divided into different grades, and the third grade was considered average while the sixth grade was considered superior, Xu Tian was still not in the mood to check how impressive that book of sword techniques was. He was determined to break through his current cultivation level, so he went out of the wooden house and left on his sword again. He went to a cave on another mountain and started to cultivate in seclusion.

Now, only Ying Zhuxia was left in the wooden house. She looked at the empty wooden house around her and fell into deep thought.

Xu Tian was such a nice person. Not only did he give her cultivation skills, he also gifted her so many things. Looking at the Cloud Piercing Swordsmanship manual in her hand, Ying Zhuxia suppressed the secret manual in her heart. She thought that apart from her mother who had already passed on, Xu Tian was the only one who treated her well.

Ying Zhuxia thought to herself that she would never let Xu Tian down, and would definitely master this sword technique!

Xu Tian arrived inside the cave and set up his own Dharma Array outside. He did this for no other reason than to prevent spiritual energy fluctuations from affecting the outside world after he broke through his current cultivation.

Otherwise, the entire mountain would be destroyed.

Xu Tian could feel that the spiritual energy inside his body was about to rush out, and his body could not control this overflowing spiritual energy.

Xu Tian also knew that it would now be a piece of cake for him to break through his current limit, so he took an elixir right away and started to use his spiritual energy to break through.

The spiritual energy in his body was constantly gathering, and so was his pulse.

In his forehead, the spiritual energy in his body was slowly gathering. Soon, he could feel that the spiritual energy was like a whirlpool, condensing into a small dot.

“Break!” Xu Tian only shouted once before he felt his back drenched in sweat. He let out a breath and started chanting the Rampant Sect’s mantra, continuously moving the spiritual energy in his body for absorption.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and the power in his body began to grow. This meant that he had reached the Illuminant Stage.

“It’s finally done.” Xu Tian was overjoyed after accomplishing a great feat. He had waited for this moment for five years, and now he had succeeded.

It was also at this time that the spiritual energy from Xu Tian’s body started to spread outwards as the power within him had broken through.

The Dharma Array that Xu Tian had set up for himself earlier could not withstand the power at all. A strong gust of air rushed out, and because the Rampant Sect was not far from Xu Tian, the people there could already feel the power.

All the disciples of the Rampant Sect looked in the direction of where Xu Tian was, wondering what kind of formidable power they had felt the impact of.

However, Xu Tian had no idea that this was happening. He took out the sixth-grade secret manual from the storage ring that the system had given him — the Evil Purge Swordsmanship.

Then, he flipped through it. He wanted to see how powerful this secret manual was. Since it was a reward from the system, it must be a secret manual that doesn’t exist in this world. The skills that came out of the system were definitely more powerful than other martial skills.

——

On the other side, in the grand hall of the Rampant Sect, all the elders and some people who had speaking rights had gathered.

“Everyone, the quinquennial Wanxiang Realm is about to begin. We’ve already selected the candidates in our sect, but we don’t know who should lead the team.”

You Yuntian sat at the top with a worried expression. He sighed and took a sip of tea.

However, this was also a coincidence. There weren’t many Elders that had surpassed the Illuminant Stage. Even if there were, they weren’t in the sect right now. Thus, he was the only one left.

However, if Yun Tian were to go as well, there would be no one left to oversee the sect.

Suddenly, an old man stood out. He was the Elder who said that Ying Zhuxia had a heaven spirit root but immediately gave up when he heard that her Life Providence was insufficient.

This old man was called Liao Caihong. Actually, before he entered the sect, he was only an itinerant cultivator. He was already old and felt that there was no way he could break through anymore, so he entered the sect to consecrate.

“Priest Liao, I actually still have other things that I need your help with, so you don’t have to trouble yourself this time.”

Actually, Yun Tian’s words could be considered as a tactful rejection. Liao Caihong did not have the ability to lead the team at all. Could it be that other than Liao Caihong, no one else would stand up?

After taking a glance, everyone either lowered their heads or stared at each other without saying a word. It was truly disappointing.

If there was a person with enough ability to fight against the Illuminant, they would be a possible candidate too. Therefore, Yun Tian only thought of one expert.

That would be Xu Tian! Although Xu Tian was only at the late stage of the Nascent Breath Stage, his ability was definitely not inferior to the Illuminant Stage. If they really fought, even the elders of the Illuminant Stage would not be Xu Tian’s match, so finding Xu Tian was the best choice.

With that thought in mind, Yun Tian made up his mind and clapped his hands. “Right, why don’t we let Xu Tian lead the team? What do you think?”

Most importantly, Xu Tian was the rightful heir of their sect, and he was much better than Liao Caihong, who had only joined the sect recently. Thus, handing this matter over to Xu Tian would be the best option.

“What? I can’t believe he’s going to hand it over to Xu Tian. Forgive me for being direct, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to take on the role!”

“Isn’t that so? The Wanxiang Realm concerns the future of our sect. Although Xu Tian has a Heaven Spirit Root, he’s just a kid at the Nascent Breath Stage. He’s still wet behind the ears. How is he going to lead us? I’m afraid that’s not appropriate.”

Liao Caihong disliked Xu Tian very much. After all, he was an old man. How could he lose to a young brat like Xu Tian? Therefore, he was displeased with Yun Tian’s arrangement.
