Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 65: Chapter 64 Taiyin True Scripture_1

”Ling Chen, are you alright?”

At this moment, Xiao Muyu also came out of the inn. Just like Ling Chen, she had also been trapped by the Illusion Technique. But for some unknown reason, the illusion encompassing the inn was suddenly broken.

”What just happened? Did Princess Huiye visit?”

Xiao Muyu knew well that among the people in the capital who could cast illusions, perhaps only Princess Huiye was capable.

”Yes, but Princess Huiye has already left, and her Illusion Technique has been broken,” Ling Chen replied nonchalantly.

”You were able to break Princess Huiye’s Illusion Technique?”

Xiao Muyu looked surprised, yet a trace of admiration emerged in her beautiful eyes.

”Not me, it was Ling Yin who broke it.” Ling Chen pointed at the girl beside him.

”Ling Yin?”

Xiao Muyu looked somewhat astonished at the girl beside Ling Chen. She wasn’t amazed because of her new name; she was surprised because she could not believe that Ling Yin had a way to break Princess Huiye’s Illusion Technique.

After all, she was just a warrior of the Sixth Layer Realm.

”It should be considered a kind of talent. Specifically, I have no idea,” Ling Chen shook his head. ”I plan to take her back to the Divine Intent Sect. Let’s set off now.”

”Alright.”

Xiao Muyu nodded. The capital was a place full of disputes. Just a feast had caused chaos, with all sorts of powerhouses seeking trouble. If Ling Chen stayed any longer, the Ten Heroes of the Capital might all come to challenge him one by one.

...

「At the Divine Intent Sect, in the Wuchen Courtyard.」

After Ling Chen, Xiao Muyu, and Ling Yin left the capital of the Wind Country, they returned to the Divine Intent Sect.

In the courtyard, Ling Chen was practicing the first four moves of the Dragon Seeking Sword Technique. His cultivation had just broken through to the Martial Teacher Level, and his priority was consolidating it. Currently, most of his energy was devoted to practicing his swordsmanship.

He had already trained the first two moves of the Dragon Seeking Sword Technique to proficiency. During this period, Ling Chen planned to polish the third move of the Dragon Seeking Sword Technique, Seeking Dragon without Shadows, to full proficiency.

As for the fifth move of the technique, White Dragon Breath, the current difficulty was still somewhat high.

At this point, Ling Yin placed a tray on the stone table. With her slender fingers, she set a teacup before Ling Chen and filled it.

Ling Chen did not drink the tea but instead looked at Ling Yin, asking, ”Ling Yin, what rank is the cultivation technique you’re currently practicing?”

”I’m practicing a low-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique called the Tidal Decision,” Ling Yin answered honestly.

Among the women of the Cui Yu Building, the Tidal Decision was already considered a fairly high-level cultivation technique.

Ling Chen shook his head, saying, ”The rank of the cultivation technique greatly affects your future Martial Arts practice. I can teach you a high-level cultivation technique, but you cannot divulge it to anyone, nor can you tell anyone that you have practiced this cultivation technique.”

As a warrior, without a powerful background, one cannot access advanced cultivation techniques or a continuous supply of Cultivation Resources.

Without these two things, even if your talent is outstanding, it’s hard to become a top powerhouse.

Ling Yin was not stupid. She still needed to find her family, so naturally, she had to enhance her strength.

However, in her view, what Ling Chen would offer her should be a high-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique at best.

But even a low-grade Spirit-rank cultivation technique would be quite remarkable for her. If Ling Chen didn’t teach her, she would never have the chance to learn a cultivation technique of that level.

Heaven-rank cultivation techniques were very rare in the Wind Country.

Ling Chen said, ”If you continue to cultivate the Tidal Decision, even upon reaching the Martial Teacher Level, your cultivation speed will progressively slow, perhaps even stagnate. Moreover, a low-grade cultivation technique means the quality of your True Qi will be inferior to others. When fighting, you’ll be at a significant disadvantage. This is because you won’t match your opponent in terms of True Qi strength or the speed at which you can mobilize it.”

The reason Ling Chen could defeat rivals transcending multiple realms was not only his exceptional talent in swordsmanship but, more importantly, his cultivation of the Ling Tian Sword Scripture, which allowed him to cultivate Lingtian True Qi within his body.

In terms of True Qi strength, he far surpassed warriors of the same realm; thus, the power he could unleash was naturally far greater.

Ling Chen continued, ”Your cultivation is still shallow, so you can completely switch to a different cultivation technique to cultivate even stronger True Qi. The cultivation technique I intend to pass on to you is called the ’Taiyin True Scripture’. It’s a Peak Heaven-grade cultivation technique, capable of allowing you to cultivate to the Sky Apex Realm.”

Peak Heaven-grade cultivation techniques are top-tier cultivation techniques that only first-rate Sects possess. They are secret manuals, and ordinary people would never dare to teach them privately.

Ling Chen had also obtained a cultivation technique of this grade from his father. It was originally a cultivation technique he was supposed to learn himself, but after his cultivation was crippled, he learned the Ling Tian Sword Scripture instead, so he naturally no longer had use for it.

”’Taiyin True Scripture’... a Peak Heaven-grade cultivation technique?” Ling Yin’s expression changed in shock. She held her breath, staring at Ling Chen in disbelief.

A Peak Heaven-grade cultivation technique... she found it truly hard to believe Ling Chen could actually produce one.

Ling Chen ignored Ling Yin’s astonishment and continued, ”Cultivating the ’Taiyin True Scripture’ is immeasurably superior to cultivating the Tidal Decision you’re practicing now. Compared to men, this cultivation technique is more suitable for women. It will unearth your potential, and I believe that as long as you study and practice diligently, you will definitely be able to reach its highest realm.”

Ling Yin was extremely grateful to Ling Chen, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears. She knelt and gave a deep bow to Ling Chen, saying, ”Thank you, my master.”

”What did you just call me? If you call me that again, I won’t teach you this cultivation technique.”

Hearing the term ’master,’ Ling Chen was rather displeased; that wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

”Thank you, Brother Ling Chen.”

Ling Yin then stood up, having corrected her address. However, the way she looked at Ling Chen was visibly different than before.

Ever since she was captured as a child and sold from one family to another, she had met many who bought her. However, all of them treated her like an object, and no one had truly cared for her, leaving her feeling numb.

Many people had even exploited her feelings and deceived her time and again. Therefore, Ling Yin didn’t trust anyone around her. Even when Ling Chen had previously said he regarded her as family and had her call him ’Brother’, she didn’t entirely believe him.

As for Ling Chen’s promise to give her freedom, she had once learned a bitter lesson: her freedom had lasted less than a day before she was captured again and beaten half to death.

However, this time, Ling Chen’s actions allowed her to feel that he genuinely cared for her. She was, after all, just a lowly servant girl. What value could she possibly have that would make Ling Chen want to deceive or exploit her?

Not to mention, Ling Chen had even taught her a Peak Heaven-grade cultivation technique. The value of this ’Taiyin True Scripture’ was such that 110,000 taels of gold couldn’t compare to even a tenth of its worth.

A Heaven-grade cultivation technique was likely worth more than a million taels of gold, and a Peak Heaven-grade cultivation technique was truly priceless.

Previously, Ling Yin had struggled to survive in a vast darkness, not even knowing why she was alive. But now, she finally had a purpose: to find her family, and also, to live together with the person before her. She was prepared to protect all of this, even at the cost of her own life.
