Heavenly Sword Sect, Sky-reaching peak.
Sky-reaching peak was the highest peak among all the peaks of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It shot straight into the sky and pierced into the clouds above.
Unlike the other peaks, the sky-reaching peak had no spiritual plants.
The entire mountain peak was steep, and from afar, it looked like a sharp sword.
On the top of the peak, there wasn't a single tree or flower.
There was only a majestic palace, and that was the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
In front of the main hall was a vast square, and on the square stood two huge stone sculptures of demonic beasts. The demonic beasts looked mighty, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, giving off a domineering aura for the entire day.
Behind the stone sculptures of demonic beasts, there was a wide staircase. The lowest stone steps were neat and orderly, with thousands of stone steps leading straight to the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The main hall of the Heavenly Sword sect was dark gray in color, giving off a solemn aura.
At the entrance of the main hall, there were two large and rough stone pillars. On the side of the stone, pillars were carvings of ferocious demonic beasts, exuding a powerful and domineering aura, causing everyone who saw it to feel a sense of intimidation.
At this moment, twelve cultivators in gray robes stood in the main hall of the sect.
The youngest among these twelve people was in his thirties, and there were also a few elders.
These people all exuded a powerful aura, with the lowest cultivation level at the middle stage of the spiritual soul realm.
That day, the Heavenly Sword sect's spiritual soul realm elder who killed Mo Yun was also among them.
These twelve cultivators were elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect. In front of them was the master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Wang Yuankun.
In the depths of the hall, there was a nine-meter-high platform. Wang Ningkun was sitting on the sect master's seat.
At this moment, Wang Shaoyun and Lin Tian slowly walked in from the entrance of the sect hall.
"Damn, Wang Shouyun, Your Heavenly Sword Sect's sect hall is so domineering!"
Tomorrow, he curiously looked at the sect hall's environment and said slowly.
Today, he was like a farmer who had just entered the city, feeling extremely curious about the heavenly sword sect's main hall.
"Lin Tian, the sect leader, and elders are still in the sect's main hall. Quiet down for a moment," Wang Shouyun reminded him softly.
Hearing this, Lin Tian immediately followed quietly.
Very soon, Lin Tian followed Wang Shouyun to the bottom of the high platform in front of the Heavenly Sword Sect's sect leader, Wang Yuankun.
"Disciple Wang Shouyun greets the sect master," Wang Shouyun said respectfully to Wang Yuankun.
When there were outsiders, Wang Shouyun would address Wang Yuankun respectfully.
When the two of them were alone, they would address each other as father and son.
"Junior Lin Tian greets the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Lin Tian also greeted Wang Yuankun respectfully.
Wang Shouyun had especially reminded Lin Tian before coming to the main hall of the sect.
"No need for formalities!" Wang Yunkun said faintly from the high platform.
At this moment, Lin Tian suddenly noticed the old man next to him. He was the Spirit Soul Realm expert who had defeated Mo Yun that day. Then, he smiled at him and said happily,
"Aren't you the old man from the Heavenly Sword sect who appeared when Wang Shouyun and I were being chased by Mo Yun?"
"Haha, that's right. That's me."
The elder of the Heavenly Sword sect laughed out loud. He wasn't angry when Lin Tian called him an old man and continued, "But the disciples of the Heavenly Sword sect usually don't call me an old man. They call me Elder Huang."
"I'm sorry, Elder Huang. This junior is too presumptuous."
Lin Tian said immediately, thinking, "This elder Huang has a good temper. He did not hold it against me because of this."
"I guess you are curious about the young man that Yun 'er brought here. Why would he bring an outsider into the main hall of the sect?"
Wang Yuankun said to the people below.
Hearing the sect master of the Heavenly Sword sect speak, Lin Tian no longer chatted with Elder Huang. He turned his head to look at Wang Yunkun on the high platform.
The other elders beside him were curious about Lin Tian's identity because they didn't come out when they fought against Mo Yun.
"This young man's name is Lin Tian. When Yun 'er was training in the demonic beast mountain range, she was besieged. It was Lin Tian who saved her."
"After that, he escorted Yun 'er, who was severely injured, back to the Heavenly Sword Sect. A few days ago, he resisted the elder of the North Mystery Sect, Mo Yun, to buy time for Yun 'er to escape."
"It can be said that if it wasn't for Lin Tian, the once-in-a-thousand-years genius disciple of our heavenly sword sect would have died just like that."
Looking at Lin Tian below the high platform, Wang Yuankun recounted his achievements.
In his heart, Wang Yuankun was truly grateful to Lin Tian for saving his son's life.
After the elders in the sect hall heard about Lin Tian's deeds, they all praised him.
"Little brother Lin Tian, I'm grateful to you for helping our young master so many times."
"Interesting. I didn't expect that this kid was so young and so brave. He actually dared to confront that old bastard Mo Yun head-on. Hahaha."
"The younger generation is indeed formidable. I remember that Mo Yun of the North Mystery Sect is at the late stage of the spiritual soul realm. To survive a few moves from him, he must be quite capable!"
At this moment, an elder of the Heavenly Sword sect stood out and asked,
"Sect leader, May I know what realm this little brother Lin Tian's cultivation is at now?"
"That's right. I'm also quite curious about his cultivation realm. He was actually able to resist Mo Yun and not die."
"Who isn't curious about this? Everyone present, who can face a late-stage spiritual soul realm cultivator at his cultivation level?"
The Elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect said their own things. For a time, the main hall of the sect became noisy and lively.
"Quiet. The dignified elder of the Heavenly Sword sect is making a big fuss. Isn't this a joke for Lin Tian?"
Wang Yuankun looked at the elders below the stage and said in a serious tone.
Seeing that his sect master was about to lose his temper, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately stopped talking.
Lin Tian could only respond with a smile.
"Lin Tian, can you tell me about your current cultivation level?"
Wang Yuankun didn't directly tell Lin Tian about his cultivation level. Instead, he asked Lin Tian about it.
Wang Yuankun naturally already knew about Lin Tian's cultivation level.
However, Lin Tian's performance was truly astonishing. Wang Yuankun believed Lin Tian would definitely be a genius no weaker than himself in the future and had already regarded him as a cultivator of the same level.
Therefore, Lin Tian's cultivation level still had to be inquired about.
"This is nothing. I am now at the late stage of the spiritual ocean tier. I am just a step away from breaking through to the spiritual soul tier to nurture my soul."
Lin Tian's expression was calm as he said indifferently.
However, the elder of the heavenly sword gate beside him was not calm after hearing that. His expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Lin Tian with his mouth agape. He was greatly shocked in his heart.
"This Lin Tian looks young, but he's already at the late stage of the Sea of Souls Realm!"
"This cultivation talent is even more amazing than young master!"
"Young master has already reached the late stage of the Sea of Souls Realm at eighteen, and he is already a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Heavenly Sword Sect. This Lin Tian is even more monstrous!"
After Lin Tian finished speaking, other than elder Huang, who had seen Lin Tian fight, Wang Shouyun, who had been saved twice by Lin Tian, and the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Wang Yuankun, everyone else in the main hall was discussing Lin Tian in surprise.
Wang Yuankun, who was on the high platform, saw the situation below and felt it was time to get down to business. He said,
"In order to repay Lin Tian for saving Yun 'er from danger twice, I plan to grant Lin Tian a spot to go to the red mist illusory realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elders, who had been discussing animatedly a second ago, fell silent in the next second. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
At this moment, all the elders of the Heavenly Sword sect turned their gazes to Wang Yuankun, who was standing on the high platform. Their faces were filled with shock, and their hearts were incomparably shocked.
