Bab 689: They Are My Women!
"This little girl respectfully greets the Great Venerable Heavenly Lord!"
Lei Ruyan stuck her head to the ground much harder, prostrating herself completely before Ling Tian as her body trembled in fear and terror. This was completely different from the bow and greeting she had shown towards Zhao Yu and Gu Yan when they appeared!
Shan Qingwu, Nalan Ziqing and everyone else was shocked at this. Even Xuanyuan Ling who was aware of Ling Tian's identity after spending time with him and getting to know him couldn't help but be surprised!
This woman was a powerful immortal from the great Immortal World, with a background powerful enough to reign over the entire Cultivation World! But now she was prostrating before Ling Tian, trembling in fear and terror!
Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei stared in shock at Ling Tian, who maintained an indifferent and calm expression even after seeing Lei Ruyan. Their gazes were a little more surprised when they saw Zhao Yu and Gu Yan, with their expressions similar to Ling Tian, calm and collected but full of murderous intent towards Lei Ruyan.
"So... do you still think I want to eat all by myself? You think I couldn't make your sect disappear with a simple words?"
After an indeterminate amount of time, Ling Tian lifted the corner of his mouth, gazing indifferently at Lei Ruyan. A slight posture full of majesty and grandeur could not help but exude from his body, attracting all beautiful and astonished gazes, feeling his splendor for a moment.
Lei Ruyan's body trembled when she heard his words, prostrating herself much more to no end. Her face paled completely. She tremblingly opened her mouth and said in a nervous and terrified tone, "This little girl doesn't dare! Forgive the offense this little girl has done to your majesty!"
Lei Ruyan did not dare to think anymore! Who would have thought that behind the Mask worn by the infamous Dragon King would be the most powerful Grand Supreme in the entire Immortal Realm? This existence admired and feared by all was in front of her eyes! But wasn't he supposed to have fallen long ago? His presence was more terrifying than that of the once evil Dragon King! A single word from him would be enough to shake the entire Immortal World! Thousands of Kings, Monarchs and even prestigious Emperors would kneel before his presence! Not to say about a small and third level sect like hers could be destroyed with a single word from him!
But... how could this Venerable Supreme who was rumored to have died appear on a lower plane? And how did he have the mask of the infamous Dragon King? Could it be that...
The more Lei Ruyan thought, the more terror and shock covered her body. She thought about whether Ling Tian would have a connection with the Dragon King or was it the opposite, like having killed him or found his remains. But with the simple fact that she had been rude to him and even tried to kill him, terror and fear gripped her.
Ling Tian rolled his eyes wryly as he listened to Lei Ruyan. His gaze fell on Mu Shuiruo and his wives, who returned several smiles.
"Get up."
Ling Tian said lightly, causing Lei Ruyan's body to tremble once again. After a few seconds of hesitation, Lei Ruyan slowly stood up, but still kept her head down towards Ling Tian.
"What do you know about these two swords that belong to your inheritance?"
Ling Tian looked at the swords of Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi and was somewhat curious. He knew a little about the history of the Fire and Water Transcendent Heart Sect, which was a top-tier Sect with thousands of True Kings, hundreds of Sovereign Monarchs and dozens of Great Emperors in the past. But now it was only a low-level sect with just a few Immortal Kings. It was certainly strange that it declined to such a level, so the only answer would be related to the disappearance of its core heritage.
"I know a little, Venerable Lord!"
Lei Ruyan nodded with great respect in her voice.
"The Fire and Water Transcendent Heart Sect have its origins from ancient times, from hundreds of thousands of years ago, even millions of years ago, where the Immortal Realm was much larger and diverse races and myriads of beings existed and lived together in harmony. But the heritage of the Sect disappeared when the leaders who carried them had fallen in the Battle of the Chaotic Dark Age! Hundreds of thousands of our members died in that battle, causing us to lose our combat power. After their deaths, the power of the sect declined and could never recover, with only a few Grand Monarchs at the head who were sadly killed protecting the sect when other forces and sects attacked us over time. But now I see that actually the leaders of that generation who were Great Emperors really died; the swords that the two of them have were the swords used by the Guardian of the Sun and the Lady Guardian of the Moon..."
Lei Ruyan's gaze focused on the two swords held by Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, showing a sad and disappointed expression. Then her gaze focused on both women, narrowing her eyes at the sight of their faces.
Ling Tian stood silently listening. He also knew a little about these two guardians of this sect who ruled the Immortal World in the past, but unfortunately died in that battle of the ages.
"In our records it was said that these two Nascent Swords were created by the heavens themselves, with immeasurable power that was said to be able to stand on par against the Gods at that time. The Sun Nascent Sword as its name suggests was born from the very pure and scorching essence of the Sun, with the ability to control the Sun itself and use its power. Meanwhile, the Moon Rising Sword was born in the same way, with the pure and cold essence of the Moon, with the bearer having the ability to control the Moon itself and become one with it, as well as becoming the other half and at the same time the opposition of its counterpart. The Guardian of the Sun and the Lady Guardian of the Moon were Great Emperors at the time, with the greatest possibility of even being able to enter Immortal Supremacy!"
Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei were dumbfounded the more they heard. Although neither of them really knew the power these swords held and how powerful those predecessors were they could sense that they were unimaginable existences with unimaginable power. Their gazes fell upon their swords, feeling a faint connection to them as they lay quietly without any trouble.
"Guardian of the Sun and Lady Guardian of the Moon?" Ling Tian frowned slightly. Wasn't this a similarity to Yin-Yang? His gaze turned to both women slightly; although nature dictated that men possessed Yang while women possessed Yin, it was not at all strange for the opposite to occur; some men would have an affinity with Yin, while women would possess Yang, finding some with an even greater ability than most men.
It was easy to see that Xi Fei had a Yin nature, while Ning Xiaoyi had a Yang nature. But this was such a pure and feminine kind of Yang...
"Venerable Lord, in fact, there is a secret of the sect that not everyone knew about..." Lei Ruyan noticed Ling Tian's expression and spoke in a low voice, still somewhat fearful.
"Speak."
"Everyone believed that the Guardian of the Sun and the Lady Guardian of the Moon were a couple, Dao Companions who could demonstrate the true power of the Nascent Swords. But actually they were both women! They were longtime battle sisters!"
Ling Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised by this. He was unaware about this secret even though he was a top-tier powerhouse. Although as such every pavilion, sect, palace or clan had their secrets, he didn't go around looking to reveal them all, so he only learned a little bit about every strength and powerhouse in the realm, especially when he was struggling to raise his cultivation.
"Were they women?"
"And battle sisters?"
Xi Fei and Ning Xiaoyi murmured dumbfounded, unable to quickly comprehend everything that was going on. The only thing they understood was that their predecessors were women like them, but with unimaginable power.
"Great Heavenly Lord, I really have no evil intent with the two of them! The records mention that when the Nascent Swords choose their bearers, no one else will be able to wield them and display their powers. Therefore, the two of them have become the pillar of the sect, the young ladies masters that we will fully care for and nurture to become more powerful!"
Lei Ruyan again lowered her head in apology towards Ling Tian. She really had no other hidden intentions with Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei. The First Law in their Sect was paramount and could not be denied; once the Inheritance Nascent Swords appeared, they would have to obtain them at all costs and protect their bearers.
Ling Tian listened to Lei Ruyan and nodded slightly. He knew a little about this Sect, but he knew that it was a righteous and moral sect, especially from its Leader. Therefore, there should be no problem for Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei.
"However..." Lei Ruyan spoke once again, but this time, her expression was filled with fear and nervousness.
"What's wrong?" Ling Tian looked at her with a slight frown.
"In order for me to be able to appear here, one of the Sect's large formations was activated, allowing anyone to realize that something had happened. So it will only be a matter of time before they learn that our heritage has reappeared and begin to trace it back to the two of them. Even though there are only a few King level ancestors, the Sect won't be able to protect them if a higher level power shows up..."
Lei Ruyan looked somewhat helplessly at Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei. A giant pillar that had only been seen in the past covered her entire Sect, so everyone would know that an important event had happened. Although she did not know how the Grand Supreme was on a lower plane and especially how these two women would manage to ascend, her Sect was not powerful enough to protect them.
"So you mean you won't protect them?" Ling Tian smiled gently, but when Lei Ruyan looked at his smile she felt shivers.
"Venerable Lord is laughing at me, I am only a little girl in his presence." Lei Ruyan bowed her head towards Ling Tian fearfully and asked, "I don't know what Lord Venerable's relationship with the two of them is, but I'm sure if it is known about you there shouldn't be so much trouble. It's just that the Sect doesn't have much power to protect them, but we will still do whatever we can to protect them if they ever manage to ascend..."
"Ling Tian, you don't have to worry about us. I'm happy that you want to protect us, but I assure you that nothing bad will happen to us!" Suddenly, Ning Xiaoyi approached Ling Tian and she smiled gratefully.
"Umn, Sis Xiaoyi and I have been through a lot, and now that we have found you again, we will be able to overcome any obstacle, even if it is the Immortal World itself." Xi Fei approached from the other side and showed a beautiful smile on her beautiful face that is usually cold.
Ling Tian looked at their faces, observing those grateful yet fond smiles and more. His heart throbbed slightly. What happened once in the past cannot be repeated again. Then, his gaze shifted to his wives; Zhang Xinya showed a jealous pout as she narrowed her eyes at him waiting to see what he would say, as did Long Yuyin. Mu Shuiruo and Tang Wanying looked at him with their soft expressions full of understanding, somehow conveying that they would be with him in his decisions.
When his gaze shifted to Yun Mengxin, Ling Tian felt the understanding, acceptance and great love she was showing him without the need to use her spiritual connection! As if it was a new level of transcendence! Yun Mengxin looked at him with a soft gaze, full of love and understanding.
"If in the near future the two of them manage to ascend, I hope you will protect them because..."
Then, Ling Tian finally looked at Lei Ruyan, speaking with a deep tone but containing no trace of doubt. Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei's gazes fell on him, not knowing what he had planned. Ling Tian smiled softly at them before looking at Lei Ruyan.
"They are my women!"
