Chapter Seven: The Thirteenth Sword Technique

The peaks of the outer sect of the Heavenly Sect are surrounded by six other peaks outside the main peak of the inner sect. These peaks, shrouded in mist, are also connected to the major peaks. Disciples of the Heavenly Sect, besides training in the forests of the sect, can also cultivate in the grottoes and blessed lands on the peaks. The eight peaks cover vast areas, making it easy to find a quiet cave for cultivation.

At this moment, inside a secluded cave, a person repeatedly performed the same action—drawing his sword!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

One after another, the sounds of explosions echoed, and the rocks on the cliff face shattered, leaving long, narrow fissures embedded in the cliff. These were the marks of the sword.

After taking the Essence Pill, Chen Tian had been diligently practicing for five days. The cliff face of the cave was already riddled with holes, and the walls were marked with deep and shallow sword marks, crisscrossing without any discernible pattern.

After five days of hard practice, Chen Tian勉强 managed to execute the first move of the Thirteenth Sword Technique.

The Thirteenth Sword Technique, when drawn, is like a thunderclap, shaking the mountains and rivers. However, Chen Tian's strength could only shatter stones, far from shaking the mountains and rivers.

In just five short days, Chen Tian had already mastered the first move of the sword. If the old man in charge of the library knew this, he would be astonished beyond words.

"War Soul Armor!" Chen Tian whispered, and a faint glow enveloped his body, forming a layer of aura defense.

Over the next few days, Chen Tian studied the Thirteenth Sword Technique and the sword-drawing technique during the day, and even while sleeping at night, he kept the War Soul Armor activated. Gradually, the layer of light from the War Soul Armor became clearer, and the thickness of the light grew stronger.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a stunning sound suddenly echoed from the cliff face.

"Stunning Sword Technique!" With a loud boom, half of the cliff face was cut off, and the broken rocks fell into the misty sea below.

"Third Move of the Sword!" Three swords sliced through the air, and for a moment, it seemed as if time stood still. The rock pointed at by the sword remained motionless, but after a few seconds, it split into three neat segments with a smooth cut, demonstrating the power of a single sword.

A faint glow enveloped Chen Tian, and at this moment, his cultivation reached the seventh level of the Warrior realm. Chen Tian was very satisfied with his month of cultivation. Not only had he comprehended the third move, but he had also refined the Stunning Sword Technique to a terrifying level, with enough power to split mountains. As for the sword-drawing technique, his strikes were like those of the Grim Reaper; the opponent was dead before the sword was even drawn.

Of course, the greatest gain was the War Soul Armor. The white light grew more vibrant, and the defense became stronger, though there was no opportunity to test how strong the defensive skill was.

"It's time to leave. A month has passed. I should return to the sect and then to the Chen family."

After the New Year, Chen Tian would be 15 years old. At the age of 10, amidst the snowstorm in Shu City, Chen Tian reached the fifth level of the Warrior realm, causing a sensation. However, over the past five years, he had failed to awaken his War Soul and gather his Spirit Sea, and his innate physical weakness was a source of shame for his family, leading to constant ridicule and humiliation.

But now, at 15, he had come back from the other side, reborn and revived, cultivating both spirit and martial arts. He could master Spirit-level martial techniques without a teacher, determined to reclaim what he had lost and make those who looked down on him pay the price!

"Huh, you, the waste, are still alive?" Chen Tian had just emerged from his seclusion when he encountered a disciple with triangular eyes from the outer sect.

Chen Tian remembered this triangular-eyed man. He was Chen Wu's junior brother. Thinking of Chen Wu and Chen Fei, who had injured him, Chen Tian's eyes flashed with a cold, murderous intent.

"Where are Chen Wu and Chen Fei?" Chen Tian's face darkened, and a solemn killing aura spread, which startled the triangular-eyed man.

Damn, I'm actually afraid of this brat's eyes? The triangular-eyed man sneered, "Waste, the Chen family's annual meeting is about to start. Chen Wu and Chen Fei have already returned. If they were here, you'd be dead for sure!"

"The Chen family's annual meeting, huh? Good!" Chen Tian ignored the man and headed straight for the sect's registration office.

Disciples of the sect need to register when they leave to return home. If inner sect disciples return, the sect will arrange for them to ride a thousand-mile snow, an excellent fast horse. However, outer sect disciples do not have such privileges and can only ride ordinary horses, which takes a month to go and return.

After receiving the fast horse, Chen Tian glanced at the Heavenly Sect, where the peaks shrouded in mist and the inner sect's existence lay deep within, the true core of the Heavenly Sect.

"I'll be back soon." Chen Tian rode away.

At the halfway point down the mountain was the Broken Horizon, a well-known place in the Heavenly Sect. On the Broken Horizon was the Life and Death Platform, where life and death were decided.

Before descending the mountain, Chen Tian encountered an acquaintance—Yi Yun and Tie Xiong.

However, at this moment, Yi Yun and Tie Xiong's faces were not good. Beside Yi Yun stood a young man who was incessantly talking, seemingly纠缠着 something with Yi Yun.

"Yi Yun, what's wrong?" Chen Tian dismounted and walked over.

But this one word made the young man shout, "Waste, can't you see I'm talking to Yi Yun? How dare you interrupt? Get lost."

"Chen Tian." Yi Yun ignored the young man, looking at Chen Tian with joy and a sweet smile.

Chen Tian cast a cold glance at the young man, pulled Yi Yun to leave, and Tie Xiong followed with a dark expression.

"Waste, you're asking for it!" Seeing Chen Tian take Yi Yun's hand, the young man's face changed drastically, and he lunged at Chen Tian.

"Get lost!" Chen Tian waved his hand, and a powerful aura sent the ninth-level Warrior flying, spitting blood. Although caught off guard, he still looked at Chen Tian with a shocked expression.

"Not even a waste!" Chen Tian did not even pause.
