When Tang Tian walked out of the room, the sunlight outside made him stop in his tracks. He quietly stood there, bathed in the sunlight, and experienced indescribable wistfulness.
The path of cultivation pursued power, pursued strengthening, but in the end, it all boiled down to the pursuit of self-perfection, humanity’s innermost desire of progression.
This type of drive was akin to the hundreds of millions of Stars in the Heaven’s Road, eternal forever, from the day humans were born, it had already existed.
What a truly beautiful world.
Tang Tian’s eyes shone with heartfelt joy and happiness.
Ling Xu who was carrying his silver spear and walking into the yard with his head hung low, incidentally raised his head to see Tang Tian with his head tilted slightly upwards in the sunlight, and he involuntarily shuddered, with a face of shock. Tang Tian, in the sunlight, seemed to be merged in the sun, although he was within close reach, he could not feel Tang Tian’s breath.
Tang Tian suddenly came to his senses, and woke up from the magical state just now, he instantly noticed Ling Xu’s existence, and broke into a wide smile, “Little Xu Xu, I’m level six now oh, you must work harder, lad!”
Ling Xu came back to his senses and resumed his usual demeanour, the orangey-red eyes had a pulse of flame, and snorted, “Lose to you? Dream on!”
After which he turned and walked out.
He had decided to spend the day doing extra training.
When Tang Tian appeared before the crowd, Di Heng Zhan was the first to detect Tang Tian’s change, his thick brows twitched, he instantly stood up, and asked almost in disbelief, “Has Master Tang managed to breakthrough?”
Master Tang… …
Tang Tian halted in his steps, this address made his entire body have goosebumps, he tried to beat around the bush, “Just calling me Ah Tian will do! Erm, uhh, I just broke through level six.”
“It’s better to address you as Master Tang.” Di Heng Zhan was insistent. He dared not call him Ah Tian, for the Princess’ teacher must be well-respected. He was full of surprise, “Is Master Tang aged over 25? Being able to enter level six at such a young age, really puts us all to shame.”
Gu Xue’s eyes curved, and tried to hold her laughter.
Tang Tian replied honestly, “I’m 17 this year.”
Di Heng Zhan’s expression froze on his face, and a few others as well. Those who only heard that a formidable lad was the Princess’s teacher, but after this conversation, they were all astounded.
Level six at seventeen years of age… …
The glances they casted at Tang Tian were akin to looking at a monster. To enter level six at age seventeen, what was he if not a monster?
And to think that such a monster still had the silver armor and double blood meridians, everyone was aghast, the entire hall even rang with a silent gasp.
The gazes converged on Tang Tian, instantly changing from curiosity, scouting, to fear and respect.
No wonder he could become Princess Ming Zhu’s teacher… …
Everyone’s mind was put at ease.
Princess Ming Zhu’s eyes were bright, a 17-year-old level six was really rare. However, upon thinking of the impending adventure, her eyes shone even more, and her heart was filled with much expectation.
Once the party was over, the little girl started to plan for the adventure trip.
As to what he promised earlier, Tang Tian was very cool about it, “Where do you want to go?”
“Bu Zhou Mountain.” The little girl cheered loudly, and jumped with excitement. Di Heng Zhan and Qing Luan at the side looked at each other helplessly. When they first found out that the Princess had sneaked out, they were extremely anxious. Yet they did not dare to make a commotion, and searched along the way, luckily, they found the Princess soon after.
“Bu Zhou Mountain?” Gu Xue’s expression was slightly odd.
“You know this place?” Tang Tian was curious, “Anything special?”
“Mmm.” Gu Xue nodded, her expression grim, “That’s a rather spooky place. Bu Zhou Mountain is huge, every night, there will be weird noises, no one knew where the noise came from. There used to be a rumour that there’s an expert living in seclusion on Bu Zhou Mountain, this rumour has been spreading for a very long time. There also used to be someone who wanted to explore Bu Zhou Mountain, but there will always be people who go missing in there, very dangerous.”
Tang Tian turned over, and asked the little girl in wonder, “What makes you want to explore this place?”
“This is one of the biggest discoveries!” The little girl raised her head, and proudly said, “Once, I accidentally came across the records of Bu Zhou Mountain in a travel book. The person who wrote the book had personally explored Bu Zhou Mountain, and wrote about many interesting happenings inside. He suspected that there could be Treasures in there. He even searched massively for information. In history, there was once a formidable expert who lived in seclusion there. And that expert was emotionally hurt, thus he would wail sadly every night. The name of Bu Zhou Mountain, was given by him.”
“There’s Treasures?” Tang Tian was piqued.
“Umm, very likely. Because this martial artist had no students, so he lived his whole life alone there.” The little girl was very well-prepared, “I have been wanting to explore Bu Zhou Mountain, you never know, there might be Treasures hidden inside!”
When she spoke about it, her face was full of yearning.
