Chapter Twelve: Heaven Sword Sect

  Xian Miao Peak, Tang Lin could be said to have made a big show of himself, not only did he beat up the people from Xuan Tian Sect, but in the end, he even brazenly threatened them. Is this something that an ordinary person's child can do? Xiao Nan looked at the figure behind him, his face pale, shouting and yelling at Tang Lin, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

  "My goodness! This is too high, can you slow down a bit......"

  Looking down at the vast land whizzing by beneath his feet, Tang Lin yelled with a wide grin on his face. He had never seen such an impressive sight before - being taken flying in the sky by someone! This was something he hadn't even dared to dream of. Moreover, all they were standing on was a single flying sword, which was thin and narrow, offering no sense of security whatsoever. It looked even less sturdy than his axe for chopping firewood.

  Xiao Nan doesn't care about his nonsense, this kid is too arrogant. If he isn't taught a lesson, when he gets to the Tianjian Gate, it will be chaos. Although without this kid, the Tianjian Gate has already been turned upside down.

  As soon as he thought of the Tianjian Gate, Xiao Nan's brain hurt, especially that gate master, who was also his own master. When Xiao Nan thought of him, he had a suicidal urge.

  The leader of the Tianjian Gate is named Long Xiao Tian, but don't be fooled by this name. This name looks domineering and sounds extraordinary when heard, but it really doesn't match the person himself.

  Long Xiao Tian, the 40th generation leader of the Tiansword Sect, is a domineering person who doesn't care about his appearance and has a bad temper. His cultivation is extremely high, at the peak of the late Yuan Ying stage. He wields the ancient and unparalleled Flame Qilin Sword. In terms of cultivation, he is on par with the leaders of the six sects, but in terms of attack power, he is absolutely ranked first.

  But this person has a problematic personality, and everyone in the Tianjian Gate knows that he is an outlaw from a humble background. In the mortal world, his reputation is also extremely notorious, with the nickname "not leaving a single blade of grass". Whoever he sets his sights on will be robbed completely clean, and when he's in a bad mood, even their clothes will be taken away, not to mention a single piece of fabric being left behind.

  It's all because of his existence that the current Tianjian Gate is no different from a bandit den, with over a thousand people, none of whom are easy to deal with.

  Thinking of this, Xiao Nan really didn't want to think about it anymore, it was too painful! Turning back to look at Tang Lin who was "crying like rain", her already painful mood became even more painful.

  ……

  Among a group of towering mountain peaks, a giant sword was inserted upside down on top of one of the peaks, giving people a magnificent feeling. This peak is also different from others, except for its towering height into the clouds, there is an aura of sharpness that cannot be concealed, this is where Tianjianmen is located, the last of the six sects.

  "Tang Lin, we've arrived! This is the Tian Jian Gate!"

  Xiao Nan didn't turn back, but her eyes looking at the dilapidated mountain gate showed a hint of pride and a tinge of sorrow!

  "My goodness, I'm so scared I've wet my pants!"

  "Is this really where the immortals live? I haven't come to the wrong place, have I?"

  Tang Lin's eyes widened as he stared at the dilapidated stone steps in front of him, clearly disbelieving that this was where the immortals lived.

  "Come with me to see the master!"

  Xiao Nan grabbed Tang Lin and carried him up the stone steps towards the mountain top as if he were carrying a small chicken.

  Tianjian Gate, originally created by the first master of Shenmo Temple, was once renowned for its power and influence. It was the largest faction within Shenmo Temple, with a reputation that seemed limitless. However, during the Great War between Good and Evil 3,000 years ago, the then-master of Shenmo Temple was besieged by multiple foes, imprisoned, and ultimately died in despair. Tianjian Gate began to decline from then on, gradually surpassed by other powers, while its successive leaders became increasingly weaker, eventually leading to the faction being abandoned by Shenmo Temple and becoming a minor, insignificant sect.

  Shenmo Temple, in charge of nine continents, has a vast influence and is the highest existence among them, holding the power to kill or spare. The Tianjian Gate is located in the weakest of these nine continents, Nanjixi Province, where there are over a hundred sects, with only six being the most powerful. The Tianjian Gate is the weakest, while the Xuantian Sect is the strongest.

  Inside the grand hall of Tianjian Gate, Tang Lin looked around curiously, his eyes finally falling on a very disheveled middle-aged man.

  The person in front of him is the 40th generation leader of the Tianjian Gate - Long Xiao Tian.

  At this time, Long Xiao Tian had a drunken expression on his face and was sitting on the ground sleeping. His beard was full of stubble and next to him was placed a huge wine gourd. All around were leftover chicken bones and fish bones. This place that should have been the most solemn in the Tian Jian Sect now looked no different from a garbage dump.

  "Master, this child is the heavenly seed of our Tianjian Gate in this chance encounter with the gods. Please take a look!" Xiao Nan said.

  "Shut up and get out of here, you're another five-elemental mixed spirit root. Don't bother me with this, deal with it yourself!"

  At the sound of Xiao Nan's voice, Long Shatian opened his eyes and glanced at Tang Lin with a rather casual look. This glance made Tang Lin feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he had been stripped naked and was standing in front of everyone for their appreciation.

  "Master... father, what about this child's ID card... you..."

  At this time, Xiao Nan's mouth twitched, and his own master really didn't have the demeanor of a sect leader.

  "Damn it, I'm a bit drunk, forgot, here you go."

  After finishing speaking, Long Xiao Tian threw a storage bag at Xiao Nan and then looked at Tang Lin saying:

  "Listen up, kid! The Tianjian Sect doesn't raise useless trash. You've got one month, if you can't reach the second layer of Qi training within that time, then get out! Go back to wherever you came from. And if you want something, go take it yourself. If you manage to grab it, it's yours. But if you fail or someone else takes it from you, don't come crying to me about it. Got it? Good, now scram and don't disturb my sleep!"

  Long Xiao Tian's eyes closed again, Xiao Nan let out a sigh and led Tang Lin out of the grand hall, along the stone steps, towards the back mountain.

  "Tang Shidi, this storage bag is yours. Inside, there's your ID card and a Washing Marrow Pill. Also, here's a Cultivation Manual that contains the techniques for cultivating Qi from level 1 to 14. Just follow what it says in the manual and you'll be fine. I'll arrange your accommodations first, then brief you on your future tasks."

  "Shao Shixiong, I'd like to ask, was that old man who looked like a bandit just now the leader of the Tianjian Gate? Why did he look like a beggar?"

  "Don't talk nonsense, the sect leader has a weird personality, but he's actually not a bad person, you'll understand later."

  Tang Lin listened and curled his lips, thinking to himself:

  "What about him? Still so arrogant, with an aura of banditry, like a mountain king. This broken place is still called the Immortal Gate, I think it's not as good as the Mystic Heaven City."

  Two people walked forward together, neither of them speaking. Xiao Nan didn't know what he was thinking about, but Tang Lin was calculating in his heart how to make money here, and how to make it!

  Xiao Nan led Tang Lin to the back mountain, where the outer disciples of the sect lived and cultivated. Although the Tianjian Sect had declined, it still occupied a vast area of land, with over a thousand outer disciples. They were all low-ranking disciples with weak cultivation and poor treatment. In contrast, the inner disciples of the Tianjian Sect held high status and enjoyed the best treatment, although there were only a handful of them. These few were the ones that the sect focused on cultivating.

  "Brother Tang, this is where you will live and cultivate from now on. Also, in the Tianjian Gate, if you want anything, you need to use contribution points to exchange for it, such as elixirs, cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and so on. These things all require contribution points. With elixirs, your cultivation speed will increase, with magical artifacts, you'll have the ability to defend yourself. As for how to obtain contribution points, there are two channels: first, you can get them by completing tasks, second, you can also use bartering to get them. The details are explained on the back of your identity card, so I won't say more. Alright, you focus on cultivating, I have something else to attend to, see you later!"

  "Shao Shixiong, then how will I eat in the future?"

  Tang Lin asked this, Xiao Nan only remembered now that he hadn't cultivated yet and was still a mortal who needed to eat and drink. Only when he reached the third layer of Qi Refining could he abstain from food and drink, at which point he wouldn't need to eat or drink anymore.

  "Oh, I forgot about that. Well, there's a river in the back mountain where you can find wild fruits and small animals like fish and rabbits. If you're hungry, go there to find something to eat!"

  "Oh, thank you, Shao Shixiong, I have no more questions."

  "Tang Shidi, try not to go too far, there are also many monsters in the back mountain, although most of them are low-level, but it's not something you can handle easily, this is a matter of your life!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Nan rode his sword and left.

  Watching Xiao Nan's departing figure, Tang Lin's face was filled with envy and longing, silently thinking to himself:

  "One day, I'll be able to tread on flying swords and travel a thousand miles in one day. At that time, with just a casual spell, I can turn stones into gold and become rich! And you, Qin Feng, wait for me, watch how I take your dog life!"
