Tian Xin Zi

  A loud roar echoed through the light ball, with Yi Chen yelling at the top of his lungs: "Mingde you old bastard, go to hell! I'll screw your moral ancestors for thirty-six generations!"

  Ming De's body shook violently, and the 36th generation ancestor's sentence was like a thunderclap that blew away half of his internal energy. The concentrated power on his fingertips also retreated back into his body with a "brush brush" sound. Ming De's dimmed finger tips and Yi Chen's transformed shooting star lightly touched together, causing Ming De's body to shudder. His entire body radiated a brilliant light, and the sound of silk tearing "hua la la" echoed far away.

  Yi Chen was like a broken sack of rice being knocked out from the center of the light ball, flying upside down close to the ground, his entire body emitting faint cracking sounds of bones shattering, and with one mouthful of blood spewing upwards three meters high.

  Ming De's music child has grown up, after Yi Chen broke away from the light ball, the entire light ball disintegrated, a beam of light burst out in front of him, his figure was already submerged in the dazzling silver light, the mountain behind his body was hit with a hole of more than four meters in diameter, don't know how deep, emitting wisps of cyan smoke. After all, it's Yi Chen's desperate blow, how can its power be trivial?

  The silver light dissipated, and a clear light shot out. In the air, Yī Chén, who had already lost consciousness, was still flying backwards. Míng Dé's clothes were tattered and torn, with three crucial points exposed. Ignoring the shockwave of blood energy in his mind, he roared: "Yī Chénzi, you bastard, go die!"

  "Spare his life under the sword."

  Ming De hastily raised his head to take a look, and at the edge of the sky, a silver light flashed for a moment. It seemed that an elder from the Tian Xing Sect had arrived; otherwise, which ordinary disciple would dare call him "Sword Below Leave Person"? Ming De's sword light slowed down slightly, but as the night wind passed by, he felt a chill and looked down to see his bare lower body. The unnamed evil fire in his heart flared up again, and he thought to himself: "Good, I was here to preside over a few disciples, and it was just to teach a lesson to Yi Chenzi and the others. But now my own disciples and younger brothers are dead or alive unknown, and you Tian Xing Sect elders have arrived, so it seems that you've been backing up Yi Chenzi all along?"

  Ming De thought and thought, but his thoughts turned crooked. He secretly hid in the small woods on the side, harboring evil intentions. Originally, he was prepared to avenge his two nephews by getting rid of Fei Li and Jie Si, but when he saw Yi Chen arrive, he decided to take him down as well. Who knew that Yi Chen would launch a counterattack before dying, resulting in all seven of Ming De's juniors being defeated? Enraged and humiliated, Ming De personally took action, only to be left in such a sorry state by Yi Chen. If this got out, Ming De would have no choice but to retreat to the mountains for two or three hundred years to hide his shame.

  What if someone from the Tianxing Sect comes? Unless it's Tianxinzi himself, I'll still give this old ghost some face. Others with a status similar to mine, what can they do to me even if I kill one of you and drive out a disciple like Yichenzi?

  Ming De's heart was filled with a surge of evil energy, and the clear light around him weakened significantly. However, the sword light emanating from his fingers accelerated by 30%, and it seemed to be about to wrap itself around Yi Chen's neck, which was still suspended in mid-air.

  The space between heaven and earth was filled with a hazy silver aura, and silver dew drops appeared out of thin air. Within a radius of ten miles, everything was shrouded in a silver light screen that descended from the sky. The silver dew drops fell gently, merging into the bodies of Yi Chen, Fei Li, and others, including Qing Song and Xian Yun. A faint, mysterious "tingling" sound came from the horizon, and the area covered by the light screen was suppressed by an invisible, enormous force that restricted all true yuan circulation not belonging to the Tianxing Sect.

  Ming De almost cried out, such momentum, such a scale of 'Pu Tian Gan Lin Curse', who else can release it except for the monster Tian Xin Zi? He was like a toad being pinned down by the surrounding star power, completely unable to move. His life-bound flying sword was also nailed down by over a dozen silver lights descending from the sky, floating lifelessly in mid-air, only inches away from Yi Chen's body.

  What made Mingde even more terrified was the fact that Tianxinzi, who was still over a hundred miles away, could control the gathering of star power with his divine thoughts and unleash such enormous might, which even surpassed the power of his senior brother Fa Tiandao's full-force operation of the "Xuantian Fumo Array".

  Two streaks of silver light descended from the sky, and Tian Xinzi, whose face was shrouded in a layer of silver mist, smiled faintly: "Ming De Daoist friend, I pay my respects."

  Tian Fengzi hastily bowed to Mingde and ran to the side of Yi Chen, who had fallen to the ground. With his hands in a sword-like gesture, he repeatedly activated the "Pu Tian Gan Lin Curse" that Tian Xinzi had cast earlier, causing the dew drops to quickly penetrate the bodies of Yi Chen and the other four people. The dew drops flowed through their meridians at high speed, and as they watched, Ge Er's slightly sunken chest slowly recovered. Amidst a faint crackling sound, the injuries of the five people were almost completely healed.

  Ming De was so embarrassed, his little brother was still exposed outside, and his chest was wide open, it was even more open than the most fiery woman in the world. Under the silver aura scattered by Tian Xinzi, he couldn't move a single finger, Ming De was extremely embarrassed, his face almost dripping with blood, and said with a crying tone: "Tian Xin Daozhang, I...I... Ah..."

  "Tian Xinzi let out a sigh: 'Ming De Daoist friend, the pursuit of the ultimate state of Taoism is to reach a state of clarity and non-action. If you can truly attain this state, why would you be defeated by my one move? Right or wrong, I won't say more. Everything will be judged by heaven. Although Tian Xinzi was expelled from our sect for being a rebellious disciple, he still has a connection with our sect. I couldn't just sit back and watch him die here... Fa Tian Daoist friend, if you have any words to say, please come to Emei Mountain to question me.'"

  A mighty sleeve shook, and a silver light band over ten zhang thick and thousands of meters long burst into the air with thunderous roars, sweeping Heaven's Wind Child, Yi Chen, Fei Li, Jester, Phil, and Goll towards the south. The 'Universal Rain Curse' was instantly withdrawn, and the desolate wilderness returned to its previous tranquility.

  Ming De let out a dejected sigh, the gap in strength was just too great. Ming De had thought that he and Tian Feng Zi could have fought to a draw, but when he encountered Tian Xin Zi, he didn't even have the power to counterattack. Even if Tian Xin Zi was currently recognized as the most likely to ascend to immortality, this gap in strength was still a bit too ridiculous.

  Fa Tian Lao Dao, with a pale face, walked out of the nearby forest with Huo De Lao Dao and several other fellow disciples. Ming De was shocked: "Elder brother, how did you all end up here? Why didn't you come out earlier to have a good argument with that old scoundrel Tian Xin Zi?"

  Fa Tian Lao Dao took a deep breath and cursed in his heart: "Ming De, are you a pig? We didn't have any reason to begin with, how can we argue? Moreover... Moreover, the cultivation of Tian Xin Zi is too... He has already reached the supreme state of unity between heaven and man! How can our Dao De Zong compare with others? Just now, even I, his senior brother, couldn't move. How dare he come out and argue with him? Besides, it's clear that Tian Xin Zi has already discovered us... If he intentionally makes fools of us and spreads the word that almost all the high-ranking masters of our Dao De Zong came to deal with a single cultivator, we might as well shut down the mountain gate and hide in shame."

  Huò Dé Lǎo Dào shook his head, took off the Taoist robe and threw it to Míng Dé, sighed and said: "Younger brother, put on the Taoist robe first. Why is your flying sword still outside? Don't you bring it back?"

  Ming De finally came back to his senses, his face flushed with embarrassment as he wrapped himself in Huo De's Taoist robe and retrieved his flying sword.

  Fa Tian Lao Dao rushed to the front of several injured disciples and began to use their sect's heart method to help them recover. Huo De Lao Dao said with a huff, "Tian Feng Zi this old rascal, deliberately made things difficult for us. Under the 'Pu Tian Gan Lin Curse', no matter how many people, no matter how severe the injury, it can almost be recovered instantly. He actually used 99% of Xing Lu's power on Yi Chen Zi and the others, this...this...isn't this bullying?"

  "Alas, we're no match for them. What can we do if others bully us? Hmph, Tianxinzi has already given us a lot of face. Do you know that?" For a moment, he didn't even bother to say anything else. He beckoned several junior brothers to bring the people on the ground, and with a gust of wind, they all disappeared.

  Just a few minutes later, two armed helicopters arrived at the scene, followed by a large transport helicopter. More than a dozen soldiers in black camouflage uniforms jumped down from 20 meters high and began to survey the area on the spot. A burly man who looked like the leader carefully observed the "cave" that was still smoking and hot to the touch, then reported back through the radio: "No signs of human presence were found at the scene, but there are some strange marks on the ground, which seem to have been caused by a localized earthquake. Hmm, there is blood, a lot. It seems to be a mountain-piercing mark left after the firing of a large-scale laser weapon, with a diameter of 432 cm and a depth of 57 meters and 73 centimeters.

  Two armed helicopters emitted a faint humming noise, flying low and hovering above the treetops for a while. The onboard biological detector scanned around and only found some small animals like rabbits and wild cats, also sending out a "safe" signal.

  They took photos of the scene and collected all suspicious items, such as pieces of clothing, metal fragments, bloodstains, flesh, and large stone pillars. After that, these unidentified soldiers quickly boarded the transport plane they came in, under the protection of two armed helicopters, and rushed to a base deep in the mountains west of Beijing.

  The arrival of these soldiers was also normal, Tian Xinzi was eager to save people and didn't know what worldly affairs were, he directly launched the "Pu Tian Gan Lin Curse" remotely, while also using the "Ju Xing Da Zhen" to suppress Fa Tian Lao Dao and others. Within a radius of ten miles, a pillar of silver light supporting the sky appeared, and everyone in Beijing who wasn't blind saw it. On the eve of the Olympics, the nearby garrison naturally took action as well.

  They immediately informed Director Sun and his team of the situation, who were stunned and struggled to come up with an excuse to cover it up. Even if they had to say that China was testing a large-scale laser weapon, they couldn't just tell the people: "Ah, the gods exist, what happened last night was two gods fighting, don't panic."

  Never mind Sun Ke and others who are busy dealing with this troublesome matter.

  Tian Xinzi transformed into a silver rainbow and took off, creating a loud sonic boom that echoed through the air. In an instant, he was already thousands of miles away. Fortunately, his physical body wasn't large, and his speed was too fast, so he wasn't detected by the ground-based radar systems. Otherwise, it would have been another huge trouble, and who knows, maybe even surface-to-air missiles would have been launched. However, this couldn't be blamed on Tian Xinzi; after all, he had gone up the mountain at the age of seven and this was only his seventh time down the mountain in six hundred years, so it was unfair to expect too much from him.

  Yin Hong fell behind Mount Emei, and Yi Chen, who had already woken up in mid-air, got up silently with a sudden movement. He then knelt down on both knees, kowtowing to Tian Xinzi and Tian Fengzi several times. He crawled on the ground, his tears falling one by one onto the square in front of the main hall of the Tianxing Sect, but not a single cry was heard.

  Fairy, Phil, and Goll saw their boss kneel down, so they also knelt down on one knee more than a meter behind Yichun. Jester was different, his two strange eyes were sizing up Tianxinzi and Tianfengzi up and down, his eyes filled with a challenging and disdainful expression. He had an urge to rush up and punch Tianxinzi in the face, who made him wear a veil on his face? Did he think he was a little girl afraid of seeing people? Jester didn't realize that it was a light screen, not a real veil.

  Tian Xinzi let out a soft sigh and walked up to Yi Chen, saying in a low voice, "These past few years have been tough on you." She reached out her hand and pulled him up.

  Yi Chen said with a respectful tone: "Disciple..." Yi Chen thought to himself, it seemed that since he came down from the mountain, nothing he had done conformed to the moral ethics of Taoism. He really didn't know what to say.

  Tian Xinzi took two steps back, and with a wave of his hand, a gentle breeze lifted Fei Li and the other two. Tian Fengzi, on the other hand, was very interested in staring at Jester, the two of them looking at each other, Jester getting angrier by the second, what's with this old man with a long beard staring at me? Believe it or not, I'll take you down right now! However, thinking about the strength of the few little disciples from the Dao De Sect earlier, Jester felt a bit apprehensive in his heart and didn't dare to really make a move against Tian Fengzi.

  Tian Xinzi whispered, "Tian Feng, take these four little friends to our mountain and show them around. The red dates on the back mountain are almost ripe, let's pick some to entertain our guests first." With a wave of his hand, a burst of silver mist enveloped Yi Chen, and the two of them flashed several times before heading straight to the back mountain.

  Tian Xinzi landed near the forbidden area of Tian Xing Zong, put down Yi Chen, looked at the entrance of the forbidden area and fell into silent contemplation for half a day. After a long time, he said: "Yi Chenzi, you have been down the mountain for more than four years, and your experience has also broadened. Take a look at this forbidden area, what does it seem like?"

  Yì chén xiǎoxīn yǐyǐ de zǒu le guòqù.

  Translation: Yi dust walked carefully past.

  The so-called Tianxing Sect's forbidden area is an elliptical pit with a diameter of 60 degrees, a major axis of over 200 meters and a minor axis of over 20 meters. The walls of the pit are extremely smooth, not even a single blade of grass has grown on them. To the naked eye, the depth of the pit appears to be at least one kilometer or more, below which is an endless flow of colorful light, that is the flashing light emitted by the 'Tianxing Fumo Array'. Nobody knows what lies beneath. On the walls of the pit, about 200 meters above the ground, there seems to have been a fracture zone in the rock layer due to intense shaking, and several protrusions have emerged. It was on one of these small protrusions that Yidun fell onto. Fortunately, there were these small protrusions; otherwise, Yidun would have fallen headfirst into the Fumo Array and been annihilated by its counterattacking force.

  Yi Chen carefully stroked the wall of the cave and said respectfully, "It seems to be formed after the high-temperature magma cooled down, but I don't know how it was actually formed."

  Tian Xinzi hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said: "What's down there after all? Alas, why did the ancestors set such a rule? Never mind, just want to figure out these things. Since you can't tell, follow me."

  Tian Xinzi slowly walked towards the direction of his own closed stone cave, with Yi Chen following three meters behind him.

  "Tian Xinzi didn't even turn his head and said, 'In order to maintain the sect's family law, in front of Daodezong, I have no choice but to expel you from the sect. Yichenzi, do you think I'm being too harsh?'"

  Yi Chen hastily replied: "No, I also know that I was wrong. Being driven out is not the fault of my uncles and aunts, it's all..."

  Tian Xinzi interrupted him: "A cultivator should not be too calculating. Fei Long Daozhang was severely injured by you, which is the cause of his own evil deeds; and you were expelled from the sect, it's also the result of that day's actions. Heaven's will is like this, Daode Zong is also helpless... You are alone outside, although you have a few subordinates with extraordinary talents, but if you calculate with Daode Zong, how can you be their opponent?"

  Yi Chen felt a bit annoyed, recalling Ming De's ferocious face. He knew that his own strength was far from comparable to the masters of the Dao De Sect, and could only respond with a single word: "Yes, Master, after this trip to China is over, I will return to London and never again conflict with the Dao De Sect."

  Tian Xinzi nodded slightly: "It's also good this way, after all, we have some connections with the Dao De Zong. If we were to tear each other apart, it wouldn't look good for either of us. For your sake, Master, I'll give you a piece of advice. Our Tian Xing Zong may seem easy to enter and doesn't emphasize cultivating one's heart or nature, nor does it have any requirements for a person's good or evil intentions. However, if you want to comprehend the highest mental state of our sect, you must first cultivate your heavenly heart... It's been four years since we last met, and yet the bloody aura around you is still so thick. Master may believe that you won't slaughter innocent people indiscriminately, and most of those you've killed did have a reason to die. Nevertheless, killing too many people will ultimately be detrimental to your future cultivation."

  Yi Chen nodded repeatedly, watching as Tian Xinzi led him to the rear mountain of the Tian Xing Sect. He couldn't help but ask in a somewhat nervous tone: "Master Uncle, where are we going?"

  "Tian Xinzi said faintly, 'Although you are no longer a disciple of the Tian Xing Sect, I, as your master's senior sister, cannot just watch you being bullied by outsiders... In the future, even if you don't go looking for trouble with the Dao De Sect, will they let you off? Your master only wants you to have a bit more self-defense capability.'"

  Yi Chen's heart skipped a beat, and the two had already strolled to the back mountain's Die Cui Cliff. Below them was the Huan Xing Cave, where the legendary flying immortals of the Tian Xing Sect had left behind their treasured artifacts.
