Chapter 76

Seeing Mu Qing and Shi Dong walk away, Mo Hai's face immediately turned gloomy. As the only martial arts family in Fengjian City, the greatest deterrent in the Mo family was not him, the family head, but his elder brother, Mo Yi! Whether it was his identity as an elder of the Wu Mansion or his cultivation at the ninth level of the Divine Pulse, he was enough to intimidate a region.

"Pass the order, send more people, and find my brother's trail as soon as possible!"

Mo Hai commanded.

"Yes, Family Head!"

A Mo family disciple received the order and quickly led a team of elites into the Dark Forest.

In the main hall, Mo Hai gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

Over these three days, Mo Hai sometimes wondered if something had happened to his elder brother, Mo Yi, otherwise, why would he have been out of contact for three days? But every time this thought arose, Mo Hai would shake his head repeatedly. A ninth-level Divine Pulse expert could escape even from a seventh-level beast, so how could something happen to him?

"Brother, where are you!"

Mo Hai muttered.

Staring in the direction of the Nine Yang Martial Mansion, Mo Hai's eyes turned cold. Mo Yi was missing, but Lin Tian had returned to the Nine Yang Martial Mansion unharmed, which intensified his hatred towards Lin Tian, making him want to slice Lin Tian's flesh piece by piece.

...

At the Nine Yang Martial Mansion.

This day marked the sixty-third day since Lin Tian entered the Nine Yang Martial Mansion.

In the evening, the stars shone like a fallen Milky Way, continuously converging on Lin Tian's residence.

In the top pavilion, Lin Tian's expression was focused as he fully concentrated on the Four Extremes Scripture, guiding the earth and sky's spiritual energy and star power into his organs, forging them repeatedly.

"Hum!"

A faint silver glow enveloped his body, and Lin Tian's breathing became smoother.

The next day, as dawn broke, Lin Tian stood up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the direction of the Raging Wave Heavy Array. He directly entered the triple gravity zone, his eyes flickering as he took out the Guiyuan Sword from the stone ring.

Instantly, Lin Tian felt his right hand become heavy, and his grip on the sword became unstable.

"Holding a sword in the triple gravity zone is completely different from holding it outside."

Lin Tian muttered to himself.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian's expression became serious.

"Blue Thunder Sword Technique!"

With a low shout, Lin Tian raised his right hand, activating the Blue Thunder Sword Technique's general principles, and slowly swung the long sword.

In the triple gravity zone, Lin Tian felt his right hand incredibly heavy, and his sword movements were extremely slow, almost as slow as a snail. However, Lin Tian did not stop. Everything has a process, and it's impossible to be proficient from the start.

In a blink, two hours passed.

Practicing the Blue Thunder Sword Technique in the Raging Wave Heavy Array, Lin Tian's true essence was consumed faster than usual. Therefore, despite this being his second time entering the triple gravity zone, he could only last for a shorter time.

Exiting the array, Lin Tian took a few deep breaths.

"Kid, what's wrong today?"

Luo Xiao was puzzled.

Yesterday, after three hours, he only looked slightly pale, but today, after two hours, his condition was even worse?

"Today, I did some intense exercise." Lin Tian said sheepishly.

"Intense exercise?" Luo Xiao was momentarily stunned, then realized, "You were practicing martial techniques in the array?"

"Yes."

Lin Tian replied.

Luo Xiao nodded, "Yes, that's a good idea. A few years ago, a genius disciple of the Wu Mansion did the same, and the results were indeed good. If you can smoothly perform martial techniques in the Raging Wave Heavy Array, when you return to the outside world, both your understanding of the technique and its power will increase significantly." He paused, then added, "However, kid, remember what I said before: moderation is key. Don't overwork yourself and damage your body. That would be counterproductive."

Lin Tian nodded and bowed, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

Although he was confident, Luo Xiao's concern still touched him.

Returning to his residence, Lin Tian rested for a few hours, then came back to the top pavilion to practice the Spirit Gathering Pattern.

Time passed quickly. Lin Tian exhausted his eight days of practice time in the Raging Wave Heavy Array. Soon, a new month arrived, and his practice time was recalculated, allowing him to enter the array again.

This day marked the sixty-ninth day since Lin Tian entered the Nine Yang Martial Mansion.

"Clang!"

In the triple gravity zone, the sound of the sword echoed as Lin Tian activated the Blue Thunder Sword Technique, swinging his sword one after another.

After several entries into the triple gravity zone, Lin Tian's body had fully adapted to the area. Although his sword speed and power were far from what they were outside, they were still quite strong, with each strike accompanied by thunder.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Gradually, as Lin Tian became more adapted to the triple gravity zone, his sword power grew stronger. Each swing was like a thunderbolt, producing both the sound of the sword and the rumble of thunder.

In the double gravity zone, many disciples were startled by the sounds.

"Who is that? Practicing martial techniques in the triple gravity zone!"

"It's that Lin Tian!"

"This... What martial technique is he practicing? How can it have such power in the triple gravity zone! Is it a Divine Pulse technique?"

"How could it be! He's far from reaching the Divine Pulse realm!"

"But this power..."

Many were amazed.

After a few hours, Lin Tian felt exhausted and stopped his sword movements. With a flick of his right hand, the Guiyuan Sword returned to the stone ring. As soon as he released the sword, Lin Tian felt his right hand become much lighter, as if it had been liberated.

Exiting the array, Luo Xiao looked at him as if he were a monster.

"Senior, what is it?"

Lin Tian felt uncomfortable under the gaze.

"Alright, get lost! Looking at you makes me feel like I've wasted decades of cultivation."

Luo Xiao scolded. Lin Tian's practice of the Blue Thunder Sword Technique had caused a huge commotion, and even from outside the array, Luo Xiao could clearly feel the terrifying sword intent. If this could cause such a commotion in the triple gravity zone, what would it be like outside? This level of power far exceeded the standards of the eighth level of the Body Tempering stage!

Lin Tian was embarrassed, knowing Luo Xiao was joking, and quickly ran away after bowing.

...

Day by day, Lin Tian practiced in the Raging Wave Heavy Array for four hours each morning, rested for four hours in the afternoon, and practiced the Four Extremes Scripture in the top pavilion using the Spirit Gathering Pattern in the evening.

After seven days, Lin Tian had fully adapted to the triple gravity zone. Even in such a heavy gravity environment, he could smoothly perform the Blue Thunder Sword Technique, with each strike being incredibly powerful. The seven days of practice in the Raging Wave Heavy Array had been very effective, and he had already grasped two-tenths of the technique.

Soon, another three days passed.

This day, walking through the Wu Mansion, Lin Tian felt the entire place was slightly tense.

"There are only ten days left until the selection for the Inner Mansion. I wonder who will be lucky enough to enter."

"Lucky? To enter the Inner Mansion, it's all about strength!"

"That's true."

Some disciples were whispering.

Lin Tian understood why the Wu Mansion felt tense. The Inner Mansion selection was about to begin.

Thinking about the Inner Mansion selection, Lin Tian couldn't help but think of Zhou Hao, and a cold smile appeared on his face. During the Outer Mansion ranking trial, Zhou Hao had tried to kill him in Qingfeng Ridge, and Lin Tian had never forgotten that day! The Inner Mansion selection was also the day of their bet.

"Lin Tian."

A familiar voice came from nearby.

Lin Tian turned his head and saw Su Shu running towards him.

Su Shu was wearing a white dress, with her fresh twin-tails and beautiful face, looking like a little princess.

"What's up, Little Su Shu?"

Lin Tian responded.

"Little Su Shu?" Su Shu gritted her teeth, "Call me Senior Sister!"

Lin Tian rolled his eyes, unwilling to comply.

Seeing Lin Tian roll his eyes, Su Shu huffed and then said seriously, "Ten days from now is the Inner Mansion selection, and also the day of your bet with Zhou Hao. What's your current cultivation level?"

"Peak of the eighth level of Body Tempering."

Lin Tian replied.

"Peak of the eighth level of Body Tempering!" Su Shu was incredulous, "I just reached the eighth level of Body Tempering, and you're already higher than me?"

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Su Shu was amazed. In just over two months, Lin Tian had advanced from the fifth level of Body Tempering to the peak of the eighth level!

"Even with your nine-star talent, you shouldn't be this monstrous!"

Su Shu glared.

"Can't help it, I'm just that monstrous." Lin Tian shrugged and teased, "By the way, what was that saying? The one who reaches a higher level is the teacher. I won't take advantage of you, so no need to call me Master. Just call me Senior Brother."

"Go to hell!"

Su Shu said angrily, kicking Lin Tian hard.

After that, Su Shu sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Tian was puzzled.

Su Shu rolled her eyes, "I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Lin Tian: "..."

This girl, still using this trick.

"Let's hear the good news first."

Lin Tian said.

"The good news is that Mo Yi has gone missing. He's been missing for almost a month, and neither the Nine Yang Martial Mansion nor the Mo family can find any trace of him. It's as if he's vanished from the face of the earth." Su Shu said, "You have a grudge with the Mo family, so this news must make you happy, right?"

At first, Mo Hai claimed Mo Yi was busy with something, but as the Inner Mansion selection approached and the Wu Mansion's affairs became busier, Mo Yi still didn't show up. Thus, Mu Qing and Shi Dong visited again, and Mo Hai had no choice but to tell the truth. Su Shu had learned this from Mu Qing.

Lin Tian feigned surprise, "Mo Yi has gone missing?"

"Yes, missing, with no news."

Su Shu nodded.

"That is indeed good news."

Lin Tian smiled.

Mo Yi had been dragged into that terrifying blood-red rift and was surely dead. It would be strange if there were any news.

Looking at Su Shu, Lin Tian asked, "What's the bad news?"

Su Shu pouted, "Zhou Hao has reached the Divine Pulse realm."
