Chapter 141 Haotian's Ultimate Technique
Within the Heaven Dou Empire, nestled amidst mountains, lies a small village that appears not much different from Holy Soul Village. This small village is an outpost of the Clear Sky Sect, its true location situated atop a mountain peak directly ahead of the village. Upon reaching the summit, one ascends another mountain via stone chains. The massive stone structure resembles a fortress, with its main gate standing five meters high. Above the gate, three powerful characters are carved in stone, exuding a majestic aura that rivals the surrounding mountains—Clear Sky Sect!
On either side of the main gate, it reads: "Haotian's name shakes the eight wastelands, his name reaches the peak of ten thousand souls throughout the ages!"
Fourteen powerful and vigorous characters, grand and majestic.
Tang Xuan, carrying his luggage, had just arrived at the entrance of a small village at the foot of Haotian Peak when he was noticed by disciples patrolling the mountain.
"Hey, hey, isn't that the young master standing at the village entrance?" one of the patrolmen asked, elbowing his companion.
“Looks like it—” the other person replied.
The two walked closer side by side, and upon seeing that the person was Tang Xuan, they bowed and greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Young Master!"
"Tang Ke, Tang Li, you're on duty here today," Tang Xuan said with a smile.
The man who was elbowed earlier is named Tang Li, and the man who elbowed him is named Tang Ke.
Tang Ke smiled and said, "That's right, young master, we're on duty today. You're back because—"
"I've come back to obtain my fourth spirit ring," Tang Xuan said.
The three chatted as they walked inside. Tang Li and Tang Ke exclaimed in shock, "Young Master, you're about to break through to the Soul Master realm?!"
Seeing their expressions, Tang Xuan laughed, "Why are you so shocked? Your expressions are so distorted, hahaha—"
Tang Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Tang Ke said, "Young Master, in terms of age, Tang Li and I are two years older than you. We're considered to have good talent within the sect, and we've only just reached level 35. It's truly unexpected... truly unexpected—"
Tang Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm still a little behind my roommate."
Tang Ke and Tang Li stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide with shock. Tang Li slowly said, "Young Master, are you kidding me? Is there anything more outrageous than this?!"
"Hahaha, let's go, why are you stopping..." Tang Xuan pulled the two who had stopped and continued, "My two other roommates at the Spirit Hall Academy are both incredibly powerful, and they're even a year younger than us, yet they're stronger than us."
"Cough cough cough—" Tang Ke and Tang Li choked on their own saliva when they heard Tang Xuan's last words and coughed violently.
Tang Xuan saw that he had reached the path leading up the mountain, so he waved goodbye to Tang Li and Tang Ke.
After Tang Xuan left, Tang Li asked with a flushed face, "Tang Ke, do you think the young master was deliberately trying to provoke us?"
Tang Ke nodded seriously and said, "It must be because the young master found out that we haven't been cultivating properly lately, and he just spurred us on to tell us to work hard and not slack off... That must be it."
Tang Li nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think so too—"
……
Tang Xuan returned to the sect and arrived outside the sect leader's mansion. He straightened his clothes, knelt on one knee, and bowed, saying, "Father, Xuan'er has returned."
Then, the heavy gates of the sect leader's mansion slowly opened by themselves! Then, accompanied by a deep, resonant voice:
"You're back, come in!"
Tang Xuan entered the mansion, passed through the luxurious and grand corridor made of white jade, arrived at the main house, and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Tang Xuan pushed open the door and entered. He saw a man with a full head of white hair, strikingly handsome features, white bangs covering his forehead, deep eyes that seemed to see through everything, sharply defined features, thin, red lips, and wearing a dark blue robe with golden armor at the chest and two flowing ribbons at the back, exuding both nobility and power. This man was none other than Tang Zhen, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect and the Clear Sky Douluo.
“Father!” Tang Xuan bowed.
"You must have had a long journey, Xuan'er," Tang Zhen said with a smile.
"It's not hard work. I've broken through to level 40 and am back to get my soul ring," Tang Xuan said.
Tang Zhen nodded: "You silly child, why were you in such a hurry back then? Why didn't you come back to get your third spirit ring? Now you're putting the spirit skill from your third spirit ring onto your fourth spirit ring, isn't that—"
"Father."
"Alright, alright, I won't say any more. The reason I'm being so earnest is because this 'Haotian Protection' is a unique secret technique of our Haotian Sect. The sooner you learn it, the sooner you'll benefit. It's not too late now, so let's go."
Tang Zhen was about to get up when Tang Xuan said, "Wait a moment, Father."
"What?" Tang Zhen was a little confused.
"Father, does our sect have any soul beasts that grant us the 'Haotian Protection'? Are there any that are ten thousand years old?" Tang Xuan asked.
"Uh—wait, what did you say? Ten thousand years? Son, you want to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as your fourth soul ring?" Tang Zhen said.
“Good, Father. I want to give it a try.”
"But your body—"
"No problem. I absorbed the Heavenly Thunder Heart-Eating Grass, which greatly improved my physical strength and mental power. I think absorbing a spirit ring above my level shouldn't be a problem."
"Heavenly Thunder Devouring Heart Grass?!" Tang Zhen caught a key phrase. "Where did you get this kind of immortal herb? Did the Spirit Hall Academy give it to you? No way..."
Seeing his father like this, Tang Xuan couldn't help but smile and explain, "My roommate gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen was even more shocked. "Roommate? Then your roommate's identity is not simple."
"He is the young master of the Spirit Hall—"
"Young Master—that guy's son?! You and your brother are really lucky, haha."
"There are four of us in the dorm, and the other one is named Mu Chen, who is the son of the Golden Crocodile Douluo."
"That old bastard Chenyu's son is with you guys too?! Hahaha, great, great!" Tang Zhen laughed heartily, as if he had won the lottery.
"Father?"
"Ahem, son, you and your brother should follow in their footsteps. Becoming peerless powerhouses in the future will be no problem. Your attributes are perfect for absorbing the Heavenly Thunder Devouring Heart Grass."
"It's Father. After absorbing it, I feel I have a much better grasp of lightning," Tang Xuan said, clenching his fist.
"Hmm, my son will definitely be able to get the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years, hahaha—by the way, after you finish absorbing it, stay at home for a while longer. I'll discuss it with the sect elders, and we feel that we can start passing on some of the sect's secret techniques to you." Tang Zhen said with a smile.
"Secret techniques of the sect?" Tang Xuan asked in confusion. Although he was the young sect master of Haotian Sect, he did not know much about the sect's secret techniques because Tang Zhen and the elders had never mentioned them to him and his brother. Today was the first time he had learned about this.
"That's right. Before you learn our Haotian Secret Techniques, your primary task right now is to break through to the Soul Master level!"
As Tang Zhen spoke, he waved his hand, instantly teleporting Tang Xuan to a plaza within the sect. With another wave, space tore open a hundred meters in front of Tang Xuan, and a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast slowly emerged from the void…
"Come on, kid, fight him with all your might, use all your strength—" Tang Zhen said and then disappeared from the spot.
