Chapter 6: The Outer Sect of the Heavenly Sect

The Heavenly Sect, one of the top forces in Spirit Star City, is situated deep within the Cloud Sea Mountains, resembling a city of immortals in the mountains.

Chen Tian and his group of four quickly returned to the foot of the outer sect’s mountain. On the way, they finally encountered quite a few disciples of the Heavenly Sect. However, many of them couldn't help but show a look of surprise when they saw Chen Tian, as the so-called "waste" had returned after disappearing for over a month.

The name "Waste Chen Tian" was even more well-known in the outer sect than the top ten disciples.

"Chen Tian, you waste, you're still here?" A mountain guard disciple, upon seeing Chen Tian return, was quite surprised. A month ago, this guy had gone into the sect's forest, and they thought he was dead.

Chen Tian sneered, "What? You all wish I would disappear, don't you?"

The mountain guard disciple angrily said, "Hmph, it would be better if you disappeared. The sect keeping you around is just raising a waste."

Chen Tian took a cold step forward, and no one saw what he did, but the burly mountain guard was directly sent flying.

"Even less than a waste, who do you think you are in the Heavenly Sect?" Chen Tian walked away with a proud stride.

Yi Yun and the others smiled helplessly; Chen Tian was truly someone who would take revenge for any grudge.

The four arrived at the sect's exchange area. Chen Tian obtained four Essence Qi Pills, while the remaining items were exchanged as follows: Tie Xiong for a battle axe, Yi Yun for a war bow, and Qing Yi for a long sword.

"I want to go to the Heaven-Earth Pavilion to learn martial techniques. We'll contact each other if anything happens." Chen Tian was decisive and had already disappeared by the time he finished speaking. Yi Yun quietly watched his back, lost in thought.

At the entrance of the Heaven-Earth Pavilion, an old man casually guarded the door, his eyes closed as if in cultivation.

"Senior." Chen Tian slightly bowed to the old man. Although the old man was just a gatekeeper and seemed unremarkable, the Heaven-Earth Pavilion was an important place in the Heavenly Sect, and the old man was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

The old man lazily opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Tian, nodding slightly in acknowledgment. "Warrior Sixth Level. You can only choose cultivation techniques from the first floor of the Earth Pavilion, and you can select up to two."

"Thank you, Senior."

The Heaven-Earth Pavilion was divided into the Heaven Pavilion and the Earth Pavilion, each with three floors. As a warrior, he could only choose martial techniques from the first floor.

Although it was the first floor, there were numerous Yellow-grade cultivation techniques, and he would surely find one suitable for himself. The sect's depth was something that ordinary families couldn't compare to.

Cultivation techniques were not what Chen Tian needed now; he wanted martial techniques, combat techniques, and even spirit techniques. Of course, the Earth Pavilion wouldn't have any spirit techniques.

【Snow and Wind Sword Technique】: High-grade Yellow-level martial technique. The sword is like snow and wind, freezing the earth and sky, drawing on the power of nature, suitable for those with a sword martial soul to cultivate.

【Sweeping Eight Desolates with a Sword】: High-grade Yellow-level martial technique. The sword's power is tyrannical, sweeping through the eight desolates with one strike, suitable for those with a sword martial soul to cultivate.

Although the Snow and Wind Sword Technique was good, its power was only average, and the effort to cultivate it would not be worth it.

On the other hand, Sweeping Eight Desolates with a Sword was a good martial technique. However, Chen Tian was not in a hurry. He looked at the rows of martial techniques and activated his Spirit Eye to check them, making the process much more convenient and quick. After a thorough search, he found that Yellow-grade martial techniques were indeed not very suitable for him.

"Hmm, what's that?" In a corner of the Earth Pavilion, two dusty books caught Chen Tian's attention. He walked over and opened them.

【Thirteen Sword Techniques】: A fragment of a sword technique, originally a Heaven-grade martial technique, but listed as Yellow-grade due to its incompleteness. Cultivating the Thirteen Sword Techniques requires extremely high standards, but once mastered, a single strike can break through the desolates.

【Martial Soul Armor】: A fragment of a movement technique, originally a Heaven-grade martial technique, but listed as High-grade Yellow-level due to its incompleteness. Cultivating this technique can make one as solid as a rock and as stable as a diamond, but it requires extremely high standards.

Chen Tian was overjoyed; these were exactly what he needed.

The Thirteen Sword Techniques were tyrannical, and a single strike could break through the desolates. Although it was a fragment, if he could cultivate up to the thirteenth strike, it would be quite powerful, with a single strike capable of drawing blood and causing immense damage.

The Martial Soul Armor was a good defensive skill. Once cultivated to perfection, it could make one as solid as a rock and as stable as a diamond.

Unfortunately, both were fragments and could not be fully cultivated. However, if they were not fragments, they wouldn't be left here unclaimed.

Chen Tian returned to the old man guarding the pavilion to register.

"Thirteen Sword Techniques and Martial Soul Armor." The old man's eyes twitched, then he stared at Chen Tian. "Kid, the Thirteen Sword Techniques have been chosen before, but no one has successfully cultivated them. Not only do you need extremely high talent, but you also need a strong will in the path of the sword. Moreover, this is a fragment. You should know that when others have already unleashed their martial techniques, you will still need to build up momentum for your strike. Without absolute speed, the outcome will be clear, right?"

Chen Tian nodded. "Senior, I understand." He knew the old man was kindly warning him, but he was already moved by the idea, and his will in the path of the sword was not weak at all.

"Since you understand, give it a try. If it doesn't work, give up early. The Martial Soul Armor, although also a fragment, can still serve as a temporary defensive aid with effort." The old man didn't say much more.

However, the martial techniques were supposed to be returned after a month, but the old man allowed him to return them after half a year.

"Thank you, Senior!" Chen Tian was grateful, knowing that the old man was intentionally giving him more time to understand.

Watching Chen Tian's departing back, the old man muttered, "Choosing fragmentary martial techniques, an interesting kid."
