Chapter 58: Giving Nangong Qing Some Pointers
“Young Master, you… You killed Lin Haoyu?”
Xue Wei’s small face suddenly turned pale and a look of worry appeared in her eyes.
Ling Xiao grinned. Knowing what her concern was, he comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m Longevity Sect’s Saint. Even if I killed Lin Haoyu, Lin Shan won’t do anything to me!”
Feeling slightly relieved, Xue Wei nodded.
“First tier True Qi Boundary? Not bad, not bad!”
When Ling Xiao checked her body, he realized that she had opened up her Sea of Qi and had already achieved True Qi Boundary.
Although her Sea of Qi was not as absurd as his, it was forty-nine feet big, which was considered abnormal too.
‘It’s a pity that I don’t have Netherworld Supreme’s Netherworld True Scripture since the Netherworld Bloodline can only be completely unleashed through the scripture. But Xue Wei can cultivate the neutral Longevity Supreme Scripture for now and it won’t be too late to cultivate Netherworld True Scripture after!’ Ling Xiao thought to himself.
Once Xue Wei’s Netherworld Bloodline awoke, she would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. Then, she might even be superior to Ling Xiao.
A brief moment later, Xue Wei went back to sleep.
As he walked out of Jin Se Pavilion1, Ling Xiao noticed that Nangong Qing was standing in the bamboo forest. She had a cold temperament that was quite out of the ordinary.
“How does Sect Leader plan to deal with Lin Shan?” Ling Xiao asked.
“Mayor Liu and Great Master Jiao Mu’s visitation to Longevity Sect showed everyone how powerful you are, so the elders who were initially on Lin Shan’s side have decided to pledge loyalty to my father! But Lin Shan’s the grand supreme elder after all. With his high cultivation, he might take desperate measures if he’s cornered, so Father has only suspended him for three months, for him to reflect on his actions!” Nangong Qing replied before she looked at Ling Xiao with a complex look in her eyes.
She did not expect him to resolve such a serious matter so easily.
The more mysterious Ling Xiao was, the more curious she was.
“He’s only asked to reflect on his mistakes? Alright, it’ll be fine if he behaves well from now on, or I won’t go easy on him!” Ling Xiao commented.
“Forget about Lin Shan, he can’t do anything now since nobody supports him! On the other hand, the people from Indulgence Sect have witnessed your talent. While they dare not harm you in broad daylight, they might use dirty tricks against you. Father has asked me to tell you to stay in the sect as much as possible, and that you mustn’t go out!” Nangong Qing mentioned.
“Dirty tricks? If they do so, I’ll teach them an unforgettable lesson!”
Ling Xiao sneered as he exuded a sense of arrogance.
“Restrain yourself! You’re really talented… But know that there’s always someone better. There are countless geniuses in the world and you should bear in mind that your cultivation’s considered low!”
Seeing as he was being so arrogant, Nangong Qing rubbed her forehead and could not help but remind him.
“My cultivation may be low, but yours isn’t! As my maid, you must carry out your duty! My safety is in your hands!”
Ling Xiao teased her shamelessly.
“Who… Who’s your maid? Nonsense!”
Nangong Qing blushed immediately; she was a little flustered.
Ling Xiao smiled. “Why? Are you going back on your words? You agreed tacitly when Liu Piaopiao mentioned it earlier!”
“Who… Who agreed with it? I just didn’t want to expose you!” Nangong Qing stuttered as she tried to refute.
Her heart was beating very fast.
“You’ll soon realize that it’s an honor to be my maid. Once I’m at the peak, you’ll see things that you’ll otherwise not in your whole life!” Ling Xiao spoke meaningfully.
At the spur of the moment, Nangong Qing somehow felt that the young man in front of her had become a supreme master who was overlooking the world from above. In fact, she was somewhat moved by his natural aura.
‘Maybe it’s not too bad being his maid!
‘Pfft, what was I thinking!’
She shook her head, and her face reddened again.
“You’re now at ninth tier Spiritualization Boundary, and you’re cultivating Seven Stars to Moon Sword. If you can cultivate it to a Pinnacle stage, the Yin and Yang will be in harmony once you’ve advanced to Dragon Tiger Boundary. Under the mutual aid from the dragon and the tiger, you’ll likely apprehend sword intent! So, don’t advance to Dragon Tiger Boundary so soon!”
Ling Xiao smiled at her.
“Sword intent?”
Nangong Qing looked forward to it, but she quickly put on a bitter smile. “How can it be done so easily? After cultivating Seven Stars to Moon Sword for three years, I’ve only achieved one sword three stars in the Intermediate stage. I don’t know how long it’ll take for me to arrive at an Advanced stage, let alone the Pinnacle stage!”
Seven Stars to Moon Sword was an Earthly Level inferior martial art that was difficult to comprehend.
One sword one star, one sword three stars, one sword six stars, and one sword seven stars corresponded to Primary stage, Intermediate stage, Advanced Stage, and Pinnacle stage respectively!
The martial art would transform one’s True Qi to the power of stars. Not only was it as fast as starlight, but it was also very profound. A sword attack of Seven Stars to Moon Sword was like a mighty shooting star.
Cultivating Seven Stars to Moon Sword to the extreme meant that seven stars would transform into a full moon, which was the legendary Full Moon Sword Intent. It could kill anything in its way!
While people like Nangong Qing and Lin Haoyu were very talented and had high cultivation, they were only considered geniuses.
Only by apprehending a purposeful conception could one become an invincible king!
Exclusive to Grandmaster Boundary’s domain, these purposeful conceptions allowed one to have fearful combat power that was beyond what one could imagine.
“Judging from your current cultivation, it’s indeed difficult for you to comprehend sword intent before Dragon Tiger Boundary, but it’s not impossible to cultivate Seven Swords to Moon Sword to a Pinnacle stage!” Ling Xiao remarked with a smile.
“Really?”
Nangong Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Of course, lend me your sword!”
Subsequently, Ling Xiao reached his hand out to the void to pull her silver sword out of its scabbard and it flew into his hand like a stream of light.
Bzz!
He looked extremely cool as his white clothes fluttered in the air while he held the sword. By flicking it with his finger, a loud vibration was heard.
“The sword sound’s loud and clear, and it carries corresponding spiritual energy. This is a good sword!” Ling Xiao exclaimed.
He could tell that the Silver Moon Sword was a fine sword among peerless spirit tools. Most importantly, it coincided with Seven Stars to Moon Sword’s sword intent, which was truly rare.
“Watch closely!”
Next, his aura changed.
Boom!
Boundless sword intent soared to the sky and at that moment, Ling Xiao seemed to have transformed into an unsurpassed sword king. As the starlight in the sky sprinkled down in strands, the purest sword lights formed a sword domain.
The bamboo trees and plants around them began to shiver as if they were worshipping their king!
