Chapter 3

The news of Ling Yue's death sent the entire Ling family into a rage, all wanting to avenge her. However, they could not withstand the formidable power of the Ye family. For the sake of the Ling family, they could only suppress their anger and remain silent.

Ling Zhengfeng was not a man who acted rashly. The Ye family's influence in the Divine State Empire was immense, far beyond what the Ling family could challenge. If they were to form a grudge with the Ye family, the Ling family would have no place to stand in the empire.

"Ling Uncle, are you just going to let them go? Ye Feng is the murderer of Yue!" Nie Tianxing said anxiously, not expecting Ling Zhengfeng to let the murderer of his own daughter go.

Ling Zhengfeng fell silent. At this moment, he was filled with anger and frustration, but more so with self-reproach, blaming himself for his lack of power. If he had the strength, he could have avenged his daughter today and would not have to watch the enemy leave freely.

Ye Tianhu glanced at Nie Tianxing, a hint of barely noticeable killing intent flashing in his eyes, then said coldly, "Ye Feng, let's go."

"Nie Tianxing, in the end, you are the real murderer of Ling Yue. It was your incompetence that led to her death. In the end, you are just a waste of space!" Ye Feng sneered, his gaze then sweeping over the Ling family steward, and he said coldly, "Ling Steward, I, Ye Feng, will remember this slap. One day, I will return it tenfold! Hmph!"

"Stop!" Nie Tianxing suddenly roared, his icy gaze sweeping over Ye Feng, and he said darkly, "Ye Feng, I will avenge Yue. I will kill you with my own hands!"

"Hmph! Is that so? Unfortunately, you are a waste of space, and you will be a waste of space for the rest of your life. I will only become stronger, and you will never have the chance to catch up with me!" Ye Feng sneered, giving Nie Tianxing a disdainful look before turning to leave.

Seeing Ling Zhengfeng's helpless and painful appearance, Nie Tianxing also felt distressed. Although he was a waste of space, he knew a bit about the Divine State Empire. Apart from the Ye family, there was also the Lin family. These two families had immense power in the empire, far beyond what a small family like the Ling family could challenge. Therefore, Ling Yue's death could only be accepted as a misfortune.

Even Ling Zhengfeng was powerless, let alone Nie Tianxing. As a waste of space, he had no right to speak. His eyes were even more dejected, and his gaze became even more dim. The Ye family's power was overwhelming, and they were completely helpless.

Thinking about what he had said to Ye Feng, Nie Tianxing couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Haha, the Ye family's power is overwhelming. What do I have to fight Ye Feng with? I am just a waste of space that everyone looks down upon. What right do I have to talk about revenge? It's really laughable." His dim eyes flashed with despair.

At this moment, Nie Tianxing, whose heart was like being cut by a knife, was deeply immersed in despair. Now, even Ling Yue, the only one who never mocked him, had been brutally murdered.

"No! I cannot give up! I absolutely cannot give up! I must avenge Yue, or I, Nie Tianxing, will be a failure! I must avenge her!" Nie Tianxing said angrily in his heart, the self-deprecating look on his face instantly disappearing, replaced by an incredibly resolute and confident gaze.

At this moment, the resolute and confident gaze Nie Tianxing displayed was something no one, including Ling Zhengfeng, had ever seen in the past fifteen years. They were all stunned by Nie Tianxing's gaze.

"I must do everything in my power to cultivate true essence! I cannot let anyone look down on me! Now, only the Heavenly Dao Sect can help me. The Imperial Sword Sect ignored me when they found out I was a waste of space. Just wait and see! I, Nie Tianxing, will make you regret it one day!" Nie Tianxing said firmly in his heart, his anger and despair still lingering.

"Heavenly Dao Sect! I must join the Heavenly Dao Sect. Only the Heavenly Dao Sect can solve my problem!" Nie Tianxing said resolutely in his heart, glanced at Ling Zhengfeng, and decisively turned to leave.

The Divine State Empire had no place for Nie Tianxing to stand. For fifteen years, everyone in the Divine State Empire knew about Nie Tianxing, the waste of space. Wherever he went in the empire, he was the target of ridicule.

"Fifteen years of life in the empire, and there is no place worth my lingering. How tragic. Perhaps Ye Feng was right; the one who truly killed Yue was me. If I had not been a waste of space but a true essence expert, I could have saved her from that punch. Yue would not have died. In the end, it's because I am a waste of space. Haha." Nie Tianxing laughed bitterly, and after leaving the Immortal Cloud Sect, his heart was filled with despair, as if he was an extra in this world.

Nie Tianxing had long wanted to leave the empire, but he had delayed because of Ling Yue. Now, with Ling Yue's death, Nie Tianxing was filled with disappointment towards the empire and life. The empire was no longer a place for him to stay, and he did not know that this departure would last for several years.

The Heavenly Dao Sect was located in the center of the Divine Cloud Continent, one of the most powerful sects in the cultivation world. Nie Tianxing also began his first long journey.

Traveling from the Divine State Empire to the Heavenly Dao Sect was undoubtedly a very long journey for an ordinary person like Nie Tianxing, taking at least half a year of arduous travel.

Seven days later, relying on tree bark and wild herbs for food, Nie Tianxing finally left the borders of the empire, meaning he was no longer within the territory of the Divine State Empire.

"Divine State Empire..." Nie Tianxing looked back at this place that had given him countless pains. With Ling Yue's departure, he no longer had any attachment to the Divine State Empire, only endless hatred!

"Ye Feng, just wait. If I really succeed, I will make you pay tenfold! I will kill you with my own hands to avenge Yue! I will make your entire Ye family pay with their blood to honor Yue!" Thinking of Yue's death, Nie Tianxing could not help but feel a surge of anger, and his dejected eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The journey to the Heavenly Dao Sect was destined to be arduous. No one knew what dangers lay ahead or what troubles he would encounter. Whether he could enter the Heavenly Dao Sect was not important; what mattered was whether anyone in the Heavenly Dao Sect would be willing to help him.

Setting out with a heart full of confusion and melancholy, his eyes lacked the usual luster, filled only with hatred, anger, sadness, and despair.

Eating tree bark and wild herbs, sleeping on the ground, enduring countless hardships and climbing mountains and crossing rivers, all to shed the label of being a waste of space. Although Nie Tianxing said he had given up, deep in his heart, there was still a glimmer of hope he had not noticed, a desire to become strong.

Day after day, after half a year, Nie Tianxing's strong will finally brought him to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"So many people, no wonder it's the Heavenly Dao Sect. The recruitment is strict, but there are still so many people coming. I wonder if I can stand out among them." Nie Tianxing thought to himself. He hadn't even reached the Heavenly Dao Sect yet, but he could already see a dense crowd heading towards the mountain peak.

At this moment, it must be said that Nie Tianxing was very nervous and anxious. To put it bluntly, every young person coming to join the Heavenly Dao Sect was stronger than Nie Tianxing, as they were not wastes of space.

"I've heard that the Heavenly Dao Sect is full of powerful cultivators. Today, I will finally get to see them."

"I heard that this time, a senior of the Heavenly Dao Sect is personally recruiting disciples! If I can become a personal disciple of the senior, I will definitely become a top cultivator in the future!"

"You? I think you should give up. The Heavenly Dao Sect's recruitment is very strict. I'm just here to try my luck."

"I've been working hard for several years to prepare for this day!"

The groups of people were all traveling in groups, but most of the young people were accompanied by their families. The usually quiet mountain paths were now abnormally lively.

Compared to others, Nie Tianxing appeared much more lonely. He came alone, following the crowd to the palace at the top of the mountain where the Heavenly Dao Sect was located.

"This is the Heavenly Dao Sect? Just standing at the foot of the mountain gives one a sense of awe. No wonder it's the Heavenly Dao Sect!" Nie Tianxing thought to himself, looking up at the massive palaces on the mountain peak, feeling deeply impressed.

From the foot of the mountain, the massive and grand palaces seemed to float in the air, inspiring awe. The constant mist of immortals made everyone marvel, truly a paradise on earth.

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect at the foot of the mountain were all courteous and热情地接待，显得非常友好，让人感到亲切。

能够加入天道宗，就证明他们是修炼天才，是天道宗未来的强者！一些大势力的高手护送自家少爷前来，面对天道宗的弟子都礼让三分，足以见得天道宗在神云大陆的声望之大。

一条长长的阶梯直达天道宗山门，阶梯由一块块坚硬的岩石铺成，可以十匹马并排同行而过，单从这一点就可以看出天道宗的气魄之大。

大约半个小时后，聂天行终于来到了天道宗山门，一股宏伟的气势和弥漫着古老气息迎面袭来，这一刻，所有人都被震撼了。

天道宗的巨大远超他们原先的想象，神州帝国的建筑与这些宏伟古老的宫殿相比，简直是小巫见大巫。

天道宗弟子遍布整个修真界，人数众多，传承了数万年的大宗派，可想而知其底蕴有多丰厚。

“太宏伟了！这就是天道宗吗？真不敢相信啊，如此巨大的宫殿！”

“哇！这是我见过最气魄的宫殿，感觉就像在做梦一样。”

“不愧是神云大陆最强大的三大宗派之一啊！果然强者如云。”

出现在天道宗巨大广场上的众人用震惊和敬畏的目光看着天道宗周边的一切，脸上都挂满了震惊，整个人都呆住了，包括一些护送的强者都震撼不已。

广场无比巨大，足足有两个足球场那么大，广场四周还有四尊数丈大小的神兽石像，栩栩如生，仿佛随时可以蹦出来一般。

天道宗的每一处宫殿的阶梯都有弟子镇守，所有弟子都穿着一模一样的白色道袍。

A long staircase led directly to the gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect, made of hard rocks, wide enough for ten horses to walk side by side. This alone showed the grandeur of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

About half an hour later, Nie Tianxing finally arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and a majestic and ancient aura hit him. At this moment, everyone was stunned.

The grandeur of the Heavenly Dao Sect far exceeded their original expectations. The buildings of the Divine State Empire were like dwarfs compared to these magnificent and ancient palaces.

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect were spread throughout the cultivation world, numerous in number, and the sect had a history of tens of thousands of years, indicating its profound heritage.

"Too magnificent! Is this the Heavenly Dao Sect? I can hardly believe it, such huge palaces!"

"Wow! This is the most majestic palace I have ever seen. It feels like a dream."

"Truly one of the three most powerful sects in the Divine Cloud Continent! Indeed, it is full of powerful cultivators."

The people who appeared on the vast square of the Heavenly Dao Sect looked at everything around the sect with shock and awe, their faces filled with astonishment, and they were completely stunned, including some of the powerful escorts.

The square was incredibly large, about the size of two football fields, and around it were four massive stone statues of divine beasts, lifelike and seemingly ready to leap out at any moment.

At every staircase leading to the palaces of the Heavenly Dao Sect, disciples were stationed, all wearing identical white robes.
