Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

At the third day, the sun finally rose from the east, illuminating the sky by removing the darkness of the night. A warmth began to spread, with the sun's rays covering the entire sky and eventually the entire Heavenly Earth Continent. 

A cross-legged figure sat in front of a still pond, and had not moved an inch all the time. If it were not for the fact that a heartbeat could be felt from inside his body, anyone would think that he would have died. 

However, this heartbeat was slowly weakening, appearing less and less, extending its time and being heard much less. A slight aura of death was beginning to emanate from the body as well, becoming much more noticeable. 

Ling Tian's eyelashes trembled slightly, causing the next moment his eyelids to lift. His jet black eyes were finally seen, with a slight glint of golden glow appearing in them. 

Ling Tian raised his gaze to the sky and after several seconds opened his mouth; a blackish air, filled with impurities and with a few drops of dark blood floating out, came out of Ling Tian's mouth being blown out of his body. 

The aura of death arising from Ling Tian deepened a little more, as if his situation had worsened. Although to the naked eye Ling Tian did not look any different from a day ago, if one paid close attention and tried to see through him, one could perceive a bit of the death aura, thinking that Ling Tian had only a short time to live. 

The sun's rays covered Ling Tian and, for the first time, he decided to stop practising the [Tai Chi] exercise to temper his body, just as he always does almost every morning before the sun rises and try to attract some Legendary Purple Chi energy. 

Extending the fingers of his hand, opening and closing his palm, Ling Tian could feel a bit of weakness and pain seemingly in his bones. 

"It's about halfway through the first phase..." Ling Tian whispered, feeling that the third method had been a success as he practiced it all night with the support of The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures. 

If Ling Tian calculated correctly, he had advanced quite a bit in the technique and could be said to have shortened almost half of the way in just 3 days. Even Ling Tian estimated that the time to enter the Temporal Death State had been drastically reduced, feeling that in a little less than a year he would be able to do so! 

All thanks to The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, as Ling Tian was certain that if he did not have the support of this heavenly object, it could take him over 100 years to obtain this result! 

"Husband..." 

"Ling Tian..." 

"Master..." 

"Big brother..." 

"Grand Master..." 

Several voices came at once, causing Ling Tian to look to the side. A gentle smile full of reassurance appeared on his face, "What's wrong? Why those faces?" 

Long Yuyin, Zhang Xinya, Ning Xiaoyi, Zhen Bingluo, Qing Sha, Lan Yin, Xue Ning, Shan Qingwu, Xuanyuan Ling, Lu Wuhu and the other male disciples appeared and looked somewhat worried and surprised at Ling Tian. Their gazes ranged from worry, anxiety, curiosity, puzzlement and more. 

"Master..." 

"Are you alright, Master?" 

Lan Yin and Qing Sha approached Ling Tian and took his hands gently, their eyes filled with tears at the thought that something bad was happening to Ling Tian. Xuebai on Lan Yin's shoulder looked at Ling Tian as well, her long fluffy tail barely wagging as all her concentration was on Ling Tian. 

"I'm fine... this is side effect of the technique I'm practicing!" Ling Tian laughed full of reassurance, squeezed both girls' little hands and smiled carefree. 

Ning Xiaoyi and the others approached Ling Tian, but their gazes still showed that worry. 

Although it was not noticeable at first, each of them could sense that a slight aura of death was rising from Ling Tian's body, as if he had little time left to live. His skin had turned slightly pale, his body could be seen a little thinner, as if his muscles had shrunk, while all of his black hair had turned white, with some small strands of his hair beginning to turn a faint greyish-white colour, losing its vitality at first glance. 

If it wasn't for the intensity shining in his jet black eyes exuding great vitality, everyone would be far more worried that something had gone wrong with Ling Tian's cultivation. 

"Ling Tian, you really have to practice this technique? It seems very dangerous!" Ning Xiaoyi asked anxiously. 

Being a powerhouse and having experienced part of the vicissitudes of life for several centuries, Ning Xiaoyi understood that there were secret and forbidden techniques that could provide superior strength if cultivated, but the consequences that came with them had many dangers, to the point where death was almost present at every step! 

Ling Tian was not at his peak, and although he reached a realm unimaginable to her, Ning Xiaoyi knew very well that dangers still existed at every step. 

Moreover, Ning Xiaoyi was somewhat troubled to see that Ling Tian's hair was completely white, realizing that a small but powerful spell kept his hair colour completely black, and this new technique caused that spell to be removed. Ning Xiaoyi had never thought that Ling Tian could have had his white hair hidden. 

What did Ling Tian have to undergo for his hair to become white? Did he have to sacrifice many years of his remaining life in the past... or was it because of some particular event or technique?

Ling Tian looked at Ning Xiaoyi's expression for a few seconds before turning to look at Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya, sensing the worries in their hearts as well even though these women also understood Ling Tian's intentions and thoughts and what the future holds for him. 

Stroking Lan Yin and Qing Sha's little heads, Ling Tian then took Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin's soft hands for a few seconds, conveying his feelings that they had nothing to worry about, and eventually Ling Tian took Ning Xiaoyi's delicate hand. 

"This is something important that I have to do... the path I have to return to the top is very different from before, and the future is much more dangerous than before, so I have to become stronger than I was already!" Ling Tian smiled full of reassurance as he looked at Ning Xiaoyi. 

Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei are his women too, but unlike Yun Mengxin, Long Yuyin, Mu Shuiruo, Zhang Xinya and Tang Wanying, these two women didn't know about him having recovered memories of his previous life, as well as clues and information of his true biological family. He has only one path ahead of him, which is the only one and it is very dangerous, so this time he has to be stronger than in his past heyday. 

Ning Xiaoyi's cheeks flushed and her heart leapt with joy and shyness at the sight of Ling Tian so close as her hands were clasped in his, but the worry and anxiety were deeper and she still couldn't help but feel very worried. She and Xi Fei had already lost Ling Tian once in the past, and they owed him a lot, and now there was again a new possibility that something bad happened to Ling Tian. 

Although she had not yet done anything with Ling Tian about matters of a man and a woman, or even dual cultivation, Ning Xiaoyi considers herself his woman! 

"Sister, our husband knows what he is doing, and what we must do is to have confidence in him!" 

Zhang Xinya walked over and she said with a smile to Ning Xiaoyi, before flirtatiously adding, "Besides, look at him, doesn't he look more handsome and sexy with white hair?" 

Zhang Xinya's beautiful eyes that have a hint of ruby red looked at Ling Tian and she flashed a seductive smile at him for a moment. Her heart jolted as she engraved Ling Tian's current image in her heart. 

"Husband, you look very good..." Long Yuyin walked over and said with a smirked as she looked at Ling Tian. She took his hand, wrapping hers around it as a worry free expression appeared on her and at the same time a face that Ling Tian is her man. 

Ling Tian squeezed his hand between Long Yuyin's hands, and his smile grew much wider as he saw Zhang Xinya licking her lips faintly, hinting many things to him as their thoughts shared. 

Ning Xiaoyi blinked somewhat confused, her gaze shifting from Ling Tian to Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya, these women who from now on would also be her sisters, fellow-wives, women of the same man. Although she was surprised to see that both women did not seem to show concern for Ling Tian, Ning Xiaoyi was stunned as Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin's thoughts seemed to reach her heart; worries, insecurities and anxieties about Ling Tian were in their hearts as well, but a greater, infinite calmness calmed these worries, an unshakable confidence and assurance about Ling Tian, their husband, overpowered these feelings. 

"Even if the technique is very dangerous, I know you will try your best and won't let anything happen to you! I believe in you, big brother!" 

Xue Ning walked over and she smiled full of confidence towards Ling Tian. She could also sense that breath of death coming from Ling Tian, but nevertheless, the longing memories of her childhood that she holds deep in her heart surged with the safety and confidence Ling Tian gave her in the past, protecting her from everyone, being invincible and strong in front of the world. 

"Even if we're not much help, you know you can count on all of us too, Master!" 

Lu Wuhu's voice was heard as he too approached with his martial brothers. Each of their faces exuded seriousness and full of confidence, ready to help Ling Tian and fulfill his requests. 

"Grandmaster, Ling'er will help you in whatever you want!" Xuanyuan Ling added shortly, also showing seriousness. 

"Senior brother always makes things right and wouldn't let anything happen to him..." With a slightly nervous voice and as if influenced by the positive atmosphere, Shan Qingwu said as well. Her eyes towards Ling Tian were now filled with worry, but the feeling of confidence far outweighed them, knowing that this man could hold up the sky by himself if it fell. 

Ning Xiaoyi blinked slightly in surprise, observing every face in the place. Nalan Ziqing approached and she looked at Ling Tian for a few seconds, before looking at Ning Xiaoyi. 

Having lived for a long time in the cold world, and only accompanied by Xi Fei and later Nalan Ziqing, Ning Xiaoyi had somewhat forgotten the trust between companions, the true family that formed over time, and even if something happened, everyone would help and not abandon each other. That feeling of trusting Ling Tian once again slowly arose, as if she felt inexplicably that whatever happened, Ling Tian would be alright. 

Ling Tian smiled gratefully as he listened to the words of all of them, willing to carry out his requests. 

Qing Sha and Lan Yin again took Ling Tian's hands cunningly, claiming that they belonged to them. Their cute expressions still flashed with worries as well, but these two girls completely believed in their Master. 

"Then you have to take care of yourself and protect yourself completely!" Ning Xiaoyi breathed a little better calmly, but still showing seriousness. 

"Uhm! Just trust me like you and Fei did before, I won't disappoint you!" 

Ling Tian looked at Ning Xiaoyi as he assured her, "Besides, I won't die so easily! After all, I have beautiful wives whom I won't leave helpless and alone! I have a family now to protect as well!" 

A small laugh came from Ling Tian as he exuded a self-confidence. 

Having a large family now, as well as beautiful and peerless women, Ling Tian would do everything to live for eternity and be with them.
