“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing the Black Wind Sect’s guardian beast Corpse Eating Rat. You have gained 30,000 experience points, 3000 yuan energy…”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for gaining the Black Wind Sect’s Secret Scroll.”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for gaining a Witch’s Blood.”
Item: Black Wind Sect’s Secret Scroll
Description: This volume describes the history of the Black Wind Sect.
Item: Witch’s Blood
Description: Opens the Black Wind Sect’s iron door (Unique).
Both items were related to the Black Wind Sect. Luo Tian didn’t bother looking at them in detail because he was waiting for another system alert. He couldn’t wait to know what the system’s reward would be this time around.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for leveling up. You are currently at the Condensation Element 1st rank.”
“Ommm~!”
The moment he leveled up, Luo Tian could feel a violent surge of dry and hot energy. It felt like boiling hot water was flowing down into his stomach and around his abdominal area. Yuan energy was filled to the brim, allowing him to feel the existence of his dantian for the very first time.
This is the so-called baptism of one’s dantian?
Luo Tian contemplated, “My dantian is crippled, so I am not supposed to go through a baptism. It’s also useless to me. Yet, how can I now feel a gush of hot energy coming from it?”
“Could it be that my dantian has recovered?”
“Oh shit!”
“My system won’t disappear because I now have a dantian, right?” When the gushing heat gradually disappeared, and he didn’t see any changes, he finally relaxed. He was worried for nothing.
At this time, the system finally gave the third alert.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for gaining a system reward. You have received the Penetration Skill.”
Skill: Penetration
Grade: ? ? ?
Cooldown: None
Attributes: Player can penetrate through any and all obstructions in the world (Unique).
“Where’s my X-ray vision ability?!”
“Why is it Penetration?” Luo Tian was depressed. He thought he would get the X-ray vision and didn’t expect the Penetration skill. This was an ability often seen in modern genre novels where characters could phase through walls.
It was similar to chicken ribs; they were not very valuable but were too much of a waste to throw away.
At the very least, Luo Tian didn’t know what he would do with it for the time being.
“Sigh~!”
“Big sister system, when are you going to reward me with my X-ray vision?” Luo Tian was unwilling. He kept dreaming of X-ray vision so that he could see through the clothes of all women. What a wonderful thing that would be!
The system alerts ended.
Calmness was restored in the cave, but the piercingly eerie wind still seeped out from inside the iron door, easily creeping anyone out.
Luo Tian glanced at the door. Behind the iron door was an existence similar to a dangerous beast pulsating with terrifying power. The seductive and mesmerizing voice was constantly trying to invade his mind, but Luo Tian was able to control himself due to previous experience.
“I wonder what’s behind the iron door…” Luo Tian muttered to himself.
Upon thinking of the Black Wind Sect’s Secret Scroll, he said to himself, “It looks like in order to figure out what’s behind the door, I have to first figure out the Black Wind Sect’s Secret Scroll. Only after that will I decide whether or not I’m going to take a look inside.”
The more dangerous the place, the more chances it holds treasures.
Why was the Black Wind Sect destroyed?
Why would a sorcerer’s seal appear here?
If the Black Wind Sect was once a flourishing sect, would there be a large amount of spiritual treasures inside?
None of that was clear.
Luo Tian didn’t have time to think about this right now, or else he would study the information inside the Black Wind Sect’s Secret Scroll. He heavily exhaled before turning around to walk back out.
“Don’t go…”
“Don’t go…”
“Come back. Come back. I have a lot of spiritual treasures. I can give you the ability to overcome anything. I can allow you to screw over the entire Hai family. Come back…”
The voice was speaking inside Luo Tian’s heart.
Luo Tian’s leg turned extremely heavy as if it were filled with lead. A pressure appeared in his heart that made it very difficult to endure.
“Stand firm!”
“Bai Lingling is waiting for you outside!”
“Do not get mesmerized!”
“You are going out to win the bet against Ao Sheng. You are going to win all of his xuan coins. You are going to unseal your skills. You are going to become a student of the Misty Cloud Academy. You are going to the Misty Cloud City to fuck over the entire Hai family on behalf of the silly queen!” Luo Tian kept repeating those thoughts so that his mind and heart were guarded. His speed of leaving also went up a bit.
I was only a few thousand meters from the iron door to the cave entrance, but it took Luo Tian almost an hour to leave.
It was only about half an hour before the sun fully set.
Luo Tian was drenched in sweat the moment he stepped out of the cave. It was as if he had climbed out from a pool of water with his clothes on. He then said to himself, “That was too terrifying!”
Luo Tian was the weakest when it came to spiritual attacks like this.
If he stayed for half an hour longer, he didn’t know if he could endure it anymore. Maybe he will not be able to leave that place at all.
The scariest part of the Black Wind Cave wasn’t the eerie wind or the Corpse Eating Rats; it was the mesmerizing voice coming from behind the iron door. The voice seemed to have seen through one’s deepest desires, confusing you, drawing you in, and then probably killing you.
This was the main reason nine out of ten people would die after entering the Black Wind Cave.
Previously, Bai Qi was lucky that he didn’t go too deep. Otherwise, it would have been hard for him to escape death, even if he had managed to survive the Scorching Sun Poison.
“Don’t leave…”
“Come back… come back…”
The voice still continued to transmit straight into Luo Tian’s mind.
It didn’t want to give up.
In the end, the voice changed into a dismal screech, “Come back, you bastard! I want to kill you! I want to kill you…”
However, Luo Tian was no longer enticed by the voice. He turned around to look at the dark cave and sneered, “Don’t be anxious. I will come back later. At that time, it won’t be you killing me but me fucking you over. This daddy doesn’t have time just yet to accompany you.”
The sun was about to fully set.
He had to rush back as quickly as possible, or else it would count as his loss. He would then have to hand over the Heaven Sword even if he didn’t want to.
Towering Cloud City, the branch of the Misty Cloud Academy.
A small plaza was packed with people right now.
The matter of Luo Tian and Ao Sheng’s bet had already spread throughout Towering Cloud City. Since this afternoon, people had been streaming into the plaza to wait and see who was going to win the bet.
However, the majority of the people determined that Luo Tian was going to lose this bet.
“Breaking through to the Condensation Element realm in five hours? That’s impossible. Don’t even entertain that thought. Not to mention, that kid’s dantian is crippled, so that makes it even more impossible.”
“Luo Tian was able to beat Hai Yulong, and he was able to kill Bai Yuan due to his strength. But there are no shortcuts when it comes to cultivation. One cannot ascend to heaven in a single step. It’s impossible for him to make a breakthrough in five hours.”
“Who would have thought that the divine sword would eventually land in Ao Sheng’s hands? He has picked up a huge bargain.”
“It’s almost sunset. Why is he still not here?”
“Could he have run away?”
