After he finished chatting with his women, Xia Tian went to the main hall to pray for his cousin. But as he entered inside, he felt someone keep staring at him with hostility, so he turned to that person and asked coldly. "Why do you keep looking at me like that? Was my lesson to you that time is still insufficient? Or should I teach you another lesson?"
That person was trembling violently and clutching both of his arms; he was none other than Ling Xin, Ling Chen's uncle. Although his arms had recovered long ago, hearing Xia Tian's words made them ache again.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart; he had already warned his eldest son to watch his manners, but instead, he kept staring at Xia Tian with hostility.
Xia Ling shook his head at his second grandson's attitude. "Tian, you better forget about it."
"Well, if he keeps his attitude, then I won't do anything to him." Xia Tian replied with a casual shrug. "Moreover, his life is not mine, and sooner or later Chen'er will take his life."
The people present in the main hall were shocked by his words; they then turned to Ling Xin. Liu Ming, who was also present at the scene, wondered in his heart. 'Why do they look so hostile toward each other? Haven't their families always been on good terms?'
'Fuck! Without your help, that damn girl won't be able to kill me!' Ling Xin cursed in his heart and clenched his fists tightly. 'Before she becomes strong enough to kill me, then I must kill her first!'
Unfortunately, Ling Xin did not know that Ling Chen was training under Jian Wuqing. Moreover, she was her only disciple, so she naturally wouldn't remain silent if he tried to kill his niece.
Not only Ling Xin but even Ling Xiao clenched his fists tightly, and his expression was filled with guilt and regret. 'Sigh, everything that happened between them was my fault, if only I didn't banish Chen'er and her mother, none of this would have happened.'
'Heh, you can give it a try if you're tired of living.' Xia Tian snorted softly, knowing Ling Xin's thoughts. After that, he prayed to Xia Han for a few moments, then left the main hall again.
However, when Xia Tian was about to return to his room to enter the Ancient Sacred Realm, Mei Yun immediately approached him and asked. "Can we talk alone somewhere else, Xia Tian?"
"Hmm?" Xia Tian raised his eyebrows for a moment and nodded in agreement, after which he grabbed her shoulders and carried her away using the Void Breaking Steps.
--------------------------------------
"What do you want to talk to me about, Sect Master Yun?" Xia Tian immediately asked as soon as they came out of the void.
But Mei Yun didn't immediately answer his question, she circulated her energy to ease her nausea because she had never gone through a void before. Before long, she asked him. "Are you really Immortal Long Tian?"
"Oh?" Xia Tian was taken aback by her question, and he guessed in his heart before asking back. "Did Wuqing tell you about that?"
"Yes." Mei Yun simply nodded at him. "Earlier I went to Senior Wuqing to ask her for some pointers about my sword path, but she said that you were the right person to train me. And she told me a bit about your past, but she also told me to ask you in person if I wanted to know the real you."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding, he knew for a fact that Jian Wuqing wouldn't tell anyone about his true past, but if she told Mei Yun a bit about it, it would mean that she was attracted to her perseverance in the way of the sword.
Since Mei Yun already knew quite a bit about his past, he decided not to hide his identity anymore, then used the phantom mask and transformed into Long Tian.
Even though Mei Yun had suspected for a long time that Xia Tian was the one who destroyed the Luo main family, the reality in front of her still shocked her. "So it's really you."
"Well, indeed, I am the one." Xia Tian replied with a chuckle. "As you can see, this is my past life form, and my past name was Long Tian."
Mei Yun sighed softly. "I really never expected that a young man like you is the reincarnation of an immortal, no wonder your sword energy and killing intent are so terrifying."
"But you are wrong about that, Little Yun." Mei Yun shivered at hearing him call her that. Xia Tian then looked up at the sky and said. "To be honest, when I was your age, my swordsmanship was even inferior to yours."
"Hmm?" Mei Yun was really surprised to hear that.
Xia Tian then continued. "Sword Energy, Sword Aura, Sword Intent, Sword Will, Sword Manifestation, Sword Heart, and Sword Dao are the seven stages of the sword. As for you now, I believe that you have reached sword intent, right?"
"En, I have indeed attained sword intent, but I still can't use it perfectly." Mei Yun replied in disappointment; even though she had tried for a very long time to master it, she still couldn't master it perfectly.
Xia Tian then returned to his original form and turned to her. "If you want me to teach you the way of the sword, you must first reach sword will through your own efforts. If you have mastered it, then I will teach you the true way of the sword."
"But-"
"If you find my conditions for you to attain the Sword Will to be troublesome, then you don't need to ask me to teach you." Xia Tian interrupted Mei Yun harshly, even though he could see her potential in the way of the sword, but he felt that her determination was still lacking, so he deliberately set harsh conditions for her. "What did Wuqing say to you before?"
Mei Yun's expression turned gloomy at his harsh words; she then sighed in her heart and replied. "Senior Wuqing told me that my sword energy is quite sturdy and refined, but she also said that I lack experience, and I should continue to hone myself by continuing to fight against enemies."
"That's right, your sword energy is indeed quite sturdy and refined, but your experience is too lacking." Even though his attitude was too harsh, Xia Tian chose to be that way to whip up Mei Yun's determination. "If you truly want to pursue the way of the sword, then you better leave your sect and gain as much experience as possible. The more you fight, the faster you will understand the way of the sword, and you will also attain Sword Will faster."
After saying that, Xia Tian immediately flew away, leaving Mei Yun pensive.
For quite a long time, Mei Yun continued to stand pensively in her spot, and she kept thinking about Xia Tian's words earlier. Minutes later, she sighed softly and muttered. "Sigh, I've always dreamed of reaching the highest point in the way of the sword, but I don't know if I can ever leave my sect."
