738 The Difficulty About Cultivating The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures
"The heavenly force formation subsided..."
Lu Wuhu murmured in astonishment as the tremor in the entire sect calmed down soon after. The formations that were about to explode also tightened up and were completely controlled. However, several formations still exploded, although they were only small ones of minor importance.
Man Chong's expression soured and he gritted his teeth as he saw the cause of his entire failed plan to absorb this sect for his power.
"Did you guys think I was just strolling around doing nothing?" Ling Tian asked as he rolled his eyes full of irony at the sight of Lu Wuhu and added, "Although when I first saw the formations it looked strange to me I thought it might be your mistake. But when I saw more and more formations I knew there was something else, so I took the liberty to change the formations of major importance and add my own changes..."
Ling Tian shrugged as he mentioned the last without any hint of guilt. At first, his goal was to quietly blend into the sect to see the environment and its people, as well as its structures and designs. As time passed walking and observing each place, Ling Tian realized that there was something wrong with the formations that rather than providing protection seemed to all converge to a specific point, as well as being intertwined as if one formation was destroyed the others would explode as well, completely enclosing the sect and killing every being within. This seemed to be like a last card up the sleeve to get rid of the place, which is why Ling Tian felt strange that his disciples kept such a formation as their final objective.
If it was done on purpose by those brats, Ling Tian would take it upon himself to scold them and give them a good reprimand for not thinking about the welfare of the sect disciples. But if this was the result of a third party, Ling Tian was not going to let that happen.
"Husband! Sis! Are you all right?" Mu Shuiruo approached with a tinge of worry in her tender eyes, looking at every part of Ling Tian's body as she remembered that he had absorbed a ridiculous amount of spiritual energy. Mu Shuiruo also looked at Long Yuyin's arm, searching through her storage ring and taking out her medicinal pills for her to fully recover.
"I'm fine, Sis! Thank you!" Long Yuyin shook her head with a smile and clenched her delicate but powerful fist. Her bones were moderately cracked and she felt considerable pain, but thinking that for Ling Tian this kind of thing was nothing, Long Yuyin played tough too not wanting to mainly worry her husband and sister. Still, she took the medicinal pills Mu Shuiruo offered her.
Ling Tian smiled gratefully and he caressed Mu Shuiruo's soft cheek and then looked at Long Yuyin, "Even if you have a small wound there is nothing more important than you, Yuyin. Your pain is my pain too, if you are not fine I won't be fine either." Ling Tian gently took Long Yuyin's hand and began to pour some of his life force into it.
The life force in his body was now very abundant thanks to the spiritual twin trees residing in his heart, making every drop of his blood have a great amount of vitality being so precious and priceless. Although sharing some of his essence and blood to others would slightly weaken Ling Tian for the time being, he would not think twice to heal his wives. In addition, sharing blood and essence was not a common thing for people to do, and almost too rare for it to be even among relatives. In the few cases, one would only do it for personal gain, and it was not uncommon to see that one would reject their families for personal gain.
The bone cracks on Long Yuyin's arm and hand began to repair at an incredible speed, healing Long Yuyin's entire upper limb in a few seconds. The superficial wounds on Long Yuyin's body also healed at an unparalleled speed, unable to help but surprise her.
"Thank you, husband!" Long Yuyin smiled sweetly. Her cheeks blushed slightly as she tried to calm her fluttering, happy heart. It seemed she hadn't disappointed Ling Tian after all!
"Are you alright? Senior sister? Senior brother?" Shan Qingwu had also approached beside Mu Shuiruo and for the first time asked and observed Ling Tian without discretion, as if looking for some injury on him. Feelings of worry were completely evident in her entire expression.
"Uhm." Ling Tian nodded with a confident smile to Shan Qingwu.
"Big brother... are you really alright?"
Xue Ning walked over and asked as well with great worry despite seeing Ling Tian completely normal. Just remembering what happened a few seconds ago made her face pale and completely panic, hoping that her big brother was not harmed.
"I'm fine, Ning'er. When have I ever lied to you?" Ling Tian replied with a sincere smile. He wasn't surprised to see their faces, after all, what he had done moments ago was something completely irrational and unreal.
"That's good..." Xue Ning sighed in relief. She couldn't imagine receiving and absorbing all this energy without coming out alive, much less with unharmed.
But despite this, Xue Ning still couldn't calm her inner shock. Her already obvious gaze on Ling Tian all this time deepened further, as if she didn't know him completely and couldn't help but be surprised at every turn.
"Master..." Lu Wuhu approached Ling Tian with a dazed face. His eyes showed stupefaction, shock and confusion.
What Ling Tian had done was beyond what was reasonable and known!
How could Ling Tian have absorbed all these immense energies without any harmful repercussions on his body?
Not to mention that he was in a complete crippled state! Even his shattered meridians were not functional! Much less his cracked Dantian!
Therefore, where did all that previous energy that could have advanced several successive realms to several cultivators at the same time go?
Lu Wuhu couldn't sense any hint of aura or energy in Ling Tian's body, as if he really hadn't absorbed all that terrifying spiritual energy. It was as if Ling Tian really was a mere mortal who had no cultivation base, with his meridians broken.
Suddenly, Lu Wuhu thought of something: this could be related to that special method or artifact that his Master had told them earlier? It was the only possible explanation! But what powerful artifact would it have to be to be able to perform such a feat? It would have to be an immortal artifact!
Nalan Ziqing approached slowly, but with a complexion somewhere between terrified and shocked. Who was really this guy that her Masters were looking so hard for? Was he really a mere mortal? How could he perform such a feat and still be unharmed in the end?
Nalan Ziqing kept thinking many things, staring dumbfoundedly at Ling Tian. She even thought that Ling Tian might be faking it by being in a crippled state, and that his cultivation base might also be that of an immortal as Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei had explained to her, or at least Ling Tian might be great expert in the pinnacle of mortal cultivation who could have reached a height far more powerful than mortality. Although in the end, Nalan Ziqing could not confirm any of her thoughts due to only seeing shattered meridians and no hint of aura on Ling Tian.
Ling Tian saw their expressions and shook his head with a helpless smile. Even he still couldn't help but be a little surprised by the functionalities of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures.
"Even though it's an object from heaven itself apparently, its requirements are unimaginable..." Ling Tian thought to himself. The power that the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures could display was unimaginable and astounding, but also its requirements to advance and become more powerful were immense. For example, in order to advance a small minor realm, too much spiritual energy was needed...
If it were not for his vast experience, determination and willpower, Ling Tian would hesitate to pursue this path. Any other ordinary cultivator would not think twice to take another path, discarding the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures even though it was an object created by the heavens themselves, but which, in the end was nearly impossible to cultivate. An ordinary, small being could not reach great heights because of the simple requirement of needing great spiritual powers to advance. No one wanted to stay halfway and be an average cultivator, even a junk one where they would die of old age by not having a high cultivation base.
Furthermore, Ling Tian could sense that there were other requirements to be able to use the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures' powers. Even not just anyone could receive this heavenly object easily. A unique celestial object, created by Earth and Heaven, by the infinite Universe and from ancient times, was clearly not as simple and easy as an artificial object.
His intuition and his own experience told him that the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures were not simple.
