Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1182: Sword Riding the Wind

After retreating dozens of steps, Chen Qingzhi finally steadied himself and looked at Ling Chen with lingering fear.

The power Ling Chen just unleashed—was that his true strength?

Chen Qingzhi’s expression was complex; he now finally understood that Ling Chen hadn’t lied from the beginning. Ling Chen truly had suppressed his power to the level of Outstanding!

And just at the moment when Chen Qingzhi’s spear technique broke through and his strength exploded, Ling Chen revealed his actual power. It’s even possible that wasn’t Ling Chen’s true strength.

The gap was too vast!

Chen Qingzhi sighed.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ling Chen, for helping my spear technique break through."

Approaching Ling Chen, Chen Qingzhi bowed respectfully and performed a great courtesy.

He knew Ling Chen had purposefully engaged in such a way to ignite his potential, allowing him to see an opportunity for a breakthrough.

"No need to thank me; finding a breakthrough point was up to you."

Ling Chen shook his head and sheathed his Treasure Sword, "Your strength has already reached the level of Outstanding. As long as the competition isn’t too intense this time, and you work hard, you should be able to join the ranks of the Thirty-six Heroes."

"I appreciate your words of good fortune, Senior Brother Ling Chen."

Chen Qingzhi nodded, feeling a bit of joy in his heart. Although he lost to Ling Chen, it was unavoidable—Ling Chen’s strength was too formidable.

Qin Yiren and the other disciples from the Witch Gate, hearing this, couldn’t help but look at Chen Qingzhi with envy. Being Outstanding was a renowned title in the entire Nine Provinces Land—a top genius. To earn this title would be a great honor for both oneself and one’s backing force.

After Ling Chen demonstrated his strength, any doubts these Witch Gate disciples had about him had undoubtedly dissipated.

"I wonder, Senior Brother Ling Chen, what title you’re aiming for this time?"

Chen Qingzhi looked at Ling Chen with curiosity.

With Ling Chen’s strength, he’s bound to shine at this Nine-stream Conference. Not to mention, it’s quite hopeful for him to join the ranks of the Eighteen Heavenly Talents.

"Me?"

Ling Chen only pondered briefly, then shook his head, "It’s hard to say."

"Hard to say?"

Chen Qingzhi was a bit surprised, then his expression turned grave. With Ling Chen’s strength, competing for the Heavenly Pride title, he says it’s hard to say? Is the Heavenly Pride level so strong that even Ling Chen can’t be assured?

However, Chen Qingzhi didn’t understand Ling Chen’s meaning correctly. When Ling Chen said it’s hard to say, he didn’t mean whether he could claim the Heavenly Pride title, but where exactly he would reach in the Nine-stream Conference—that was hard to say.

"Senior Brother Ling Chen, I apologize for earlier."

Just as Ling Chen was about to go to the spaceship’s cabin to rest, Qin Yiren approached timidly.

"It’s not a big deal; it’s normal for young people to have some arrogance."

Ling Chen said indifferently.

If Ling Chen had said this earlier, Qin Yiren would have certainly dismissed it with disdain; Ling Chen was younger than her and had no right to speak in such an old-fashioned manner.

However, upon hearing it now, Qin Yiren visibly relaxed, her delicate face showing a cautious expression as she continued, "Senior Brother Ling Chen... didn’t you say earlier that I might reach the Outstanding level if I improve in martial arts control?"

"That’s right."

Ling Chen nodded; Qin Yiren’s strength was decent, just that her martial arts control was a bit coarse. Otherwise, she could indeed reach a higher level.

"Practice with me every morning for the upcoming days; it might help you."

Seeing Qin Yiren’s intent, Ling Chen spoke plainly.

With his current mindset, he wouldn’t care for the thoughts of juniors like Qin Yiren.

"Great, thank you, Senior Brother Ling Chen!"

What Qin Yiren waited for was Ling Chen’s approval, and hearing it, she suddenly envied the Witch Goddess. Although Ling Chen’s strength may not be extremely strong now, his potential was terrifying. He’s now at least at the Heavenly Pride level; in a few more years, wouldn’t he be able to advance to Divine Marquis or even the King level?

Once he becomes a Saint, he would be a first-rate young Saint.

...

After flying for over ten days, the spaceship finally arrived at the Central Dynasty’s core area—the Central Region.

During these days, Ling Chen spent most of his time cultivating, taking occasional moments to guide Qin Yiren and other talented young disciples from the Witch Gate.

Throughout this, Ling Chen’s mastery of "momentum" became increasingly refined, and he started to grasp the sixth form of Green Lotus Sword Song.

At the rear of the ship,

Ling Chen stood under the mast, gazing at the sea of clouds before him, his body unmoving.

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes, his robes began fluttering intensely without any wind. A remarkable Sword Momentum expanded forward into the sea of clouds.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sea of clouds collapsed inch by inch, turning to void, retreating in layers under Ling Chen’s powerful pressure, creating a clear space.

"Using momentum to form a sword, riding the wind to break waves!"

With a loud shout, Ling Chen’s Red Sky Sword was already sweeping out; before the Sword Light could sweep, the prodigious Sword Momentum had already flattened the path ahead, clearing it entirely.

Paced slower than the Sword Momentum, the sword qi surged, shattering the sea of clouds into fragments.

The previously cloudy sky instantly became clear with no clouds in sight for miles.

A hint of surprise showed on Ling Chen’s face.

This was the sixth form of Green Lotus Sword Song, Sword Riding the Wind!

The might of one sword could be so powerful.

If cultivation reached a higher level, it could change the heavens and earth, triggering even greater changes.

At that point, the cleanse might not just be limited to a mere sea of clouds.

The creator of Green Lotus Sword Song was Taibai Sword Immortal, a Supreme Expert who had reached the ability to shatter the void. Hence, training Green Lotus Sword Song further definitely possessed the capacity to shatter the void!

But given Ling Chen’s current Sky Apex Realm cultivation, such techniques were already beyond limits and could be considered world-shaking, spirit-moving.

"Terrifying!"

Not far away, Qin Yiren saw this scene with her beautiful eyes, filled with a sense of awe. Ling Chen’s sword was astonishingly powerful, surely capable of instantaneously defeating a Saint.

The aura emitted from Ling Chen was more frightful than that of the few Elders in the Witch Gate.

"Such strength probably rivals the top talents within the Nine Province Sect Realm."

Qin Yiren’s delicate eyes sparkled, perhaps at this Nine-stream Conference, Ling Chen would reach a level none of them expected...
