Ling Han and everyone else appeared in the black tower, next to the garden.
"before I can take you as my disciple before I take you in, you must tamper the mind. You shall take care of his garden. If one herb dies, you will go the day without food. Gardening is a way for one to enter a special state of peace and even allow them to think clearly. If you have achieved this state, then I shall take you in as my first disciple." Ling Han said calmly
"... I understand." Di Tian said with a serious node as he walked towards the herbs
"before that, give me that saber technique you were training." Ling Han said calmly, which made Di Tian freeze.
After a few minutes of hesitation, he gave Ling Han a black storage ring. Ling Han nodded slightly if he wasn't going to give him this technique. He would have thrown him out.
Sending his spiritual sense into the storage ring, Ling Han felt something trying to block him. But he was in the black tower. He was able to break this barrier easily.
"impossible." a deep demonic voice sounded within Ling Han's mind. this voice came from the Black tower,
Ling Han waved his hands as a soul was pulled from the saber within the ring. The soul tried to fight back but within Ling Han's hands. It couldn't do a thing.
Di Tian watched this in shock. That soul had tried to take over his body and mind when he got the inheritances. They fought for 3 days and 3 days over the body. The only reason Di Tian kept his body was his hatred towards the prince, and he threatened to kill himself.
The soul made a deal with Di Tian, it helps him kill the prince, and he gets the body. Di Tian didn't hesitate to agree, so with the soul's help, he began training the sword technique.
"a soul..." Ling Han thought before a moment before a portal appeared at his side. This portal went towards the spirit farm.
Ling Han threw the soul into the spirit farm before waving his hands. Three scrolls and a saber fell before him, to which he picked up.
"This isn't a saber technique but a training guide..." Ling Han said softly. The training guide told one how to reach the mastery level of the way of the saber.
The step is to use a stick to cut down a tree in one move. A true expert doesn't need the sharpest weapon. Their skills alone are enough to stand amongst those of the same level.
There were 3 other levels like this, but this training guide could be used for the way of the sword as well.
Ling Han looked at the other two scrolls, but one was a saber technique or a body cultivation art.
Ling Han destroyed the body cultivation art before throwing the training guide towards Feng Yang, who was watching.
"memorize it and give it back to Di Tian. Di Tian, you are not allow to cultivate until you reach that state." Ling Han said as he sent the saber into the spirit farm.
*new item sensed in the spirit farm... unable to identify item, please upgrade spirit farm.* the spirit farm said as Ling Han had the saber appear in his hands
He gave it back to Di Tian before leaving with Lin Xiaoge. they hopped on a lightning cloud as they flew off an extreme speed
"where are we going?" Lin Xiaoge asked lazily,
"where do you want to go," Ling Han also asked bored, there was nothing to do in the cultivation world.
"I... I don't know. where do you want to go?" She asked, which made Ling Han roll his eyes.
"let's go towards the pill mountain city. We should find some pills to unlock our bloodline." Ling Han said after some thought
Pill Mountain City was a city built around forming pills. There was a mountain within the city that stored a bunch of pills. That mountain isn't a real mountain but a storage item.
It is said if one could pass the trial with placed by the former owner of the item. They will not just gain every pill within that mountain, but the mountain would be there. Plus, they would be known as the pill emperor and be known as the leader of the pill alchemy leader all over the lower realm.
"you can't." Lin Xiaoge said with widened eyes. She knew Ling Han's skills in alchemy. She believed he would be able to pass the trail, but she knew people would not just sit back and match a 15-year-old kid take that mountain.
Even those in the void-shattering realm would step forward. Ling Han would not stand a chance against them.
"haha, it's just a tiny pill mountain city. If I take that mountain, wouldn't my ranking of the demonic chart skyrocket?" Ling Han asked with a smile
"This isn't a joke." She said seriously, but Ling Han ignored her, which made her frown.
"I have only unlocked 21% of my bloodline, and you have gained six tails. My mother's background isn't simple. This lightning bloodline of mine is also not simple." Ling Han said as he snapped his finger, thunder clouds gather below him as it dense.
After 1 hour, a beam of lightning shot down. Destroying a mountain below. After a moment, Lin Xiaoge saw lava and other stuff below.
Lin Xiaoge eyes widened. This was on the level of strength of a Siant King. Only a realm below the void-shattering realm.
'this isn't the grand Dao of lightning... who reached such a level in the Dao of lightning. this matches those beings like the sky father or the son of Odin.' Lin Xiaoge thought with widened eyes
'will mother kill him if she sees him? No, she would only kill him if he has a connection to those two old perverts. what are the chances of that happening.' She thought with a shake of his head.
"so your thoughts?" Ling Han asked, seeing how she shook her head as if not believing what she saw
"your comprehension of the Grand Dao of lightning is only at level 3, right? your background isn't simple." She said with a nod of her head
"if you can unlock more of your bloodline, then you might become the strongest in the lower realm. And by the looks of it... you have complete control over lightning. You can summon and control lightning as you wish. this show whoever you got your bloodline from had mastered the Grand Dao of lightning." She said with a node
Ling Han nodded as Th... I mean, Tan Feng flashed across his mind.
Ling Han smiled slightly as he looked at a raven who was looking at him not too far away. Another raven landed next to it as they began speaking.
A second later, they began laughing as they pointed their wings at Ling Han. Ling Han frowned. The fact a bird dared to laugh at him angered him.
Just as he raised his hand towards the Raven and lightning began to gather. The Ravens flew off as if teleporting. They instantly disappeared.
"They didn't teleport. It was more like how a void-shattering realm cultivator shatters the void. They flew out of this lower realm, be careful. you might have caught the attention of some big shot." The black tower said as Ling Han frowned
In the lower region. Tan Feng sat on a throne with a deep frown as he looked at the group of soldiers he had trained.
He was having second thoughts. In these few months, he had felt how hard it was to become a leader. How much work it took to keep everyone under his rule happy and loyal towards him.
In the end, he was having second thoughts if being king was for him.
But he couldn't give up now, he had already made promises, and he was a man of his words. he most overtakes this kingdom.
"haha, look at this stone head wanting to be a king." Two laughed sounded, which stunned Th... I mean Tan Feng.
Looking up, he saw to Ravens flying above him.
"it's you guys." Tan Feng said in shock as he stood up. The guards within the camp that was about to attack these birds stopped seeing Tan Feng knew them.
"the all-father has sent down a decree. You will not leave this world or regain your strength if you don't prove yourself worthy of being king." The Ravens said, making Tan Feng frown
"you are the next in line to take the throne if you can't become king in this little world without making a move. end your life, as you shall never step foot out." The raven said before they disappeared.
Tan Feng fell to his throne as he cracks ran along the floors. scarying the guards shit less.
"have some guards work as spies within the capital, note down the routes of all the goods the enter and leave the capital. after which, we are leaving to meet with the major sects." Tan Feng said with gritted teeth.
He didn't wish to do things like this. He was a righteous man. He would not attack a man when he is down. He would not attack from behind or do anything dirty to win a battle
But now that he looks at it, to become a king. one most play dirty, he wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for what Ling Han had told him.
a King must listen to his people. These past months these soldiers had told him to do stuff like this many times. But he had turner them down and even punished them for thinking of such things.
But now that he looks at it, his father had done such dirty things his whole life. And thinking of it more clearly, so have others around the same level of strength as his father.
