10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Novel - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Jiang Ming’s Lesson, Junior Sister’s Obedience
Name: Zhou Tian

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm

Background: The 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Relationship: -22

Innate Talent: Nine Stars (Primary True Dragon Bloodline)

Status: After learning about the downfall of Bai Yu, the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion in the hand of a martial artist in Eastern Region, as the one who was blessed by heaven, he departed from Zhong Province and came to Eastern Region. While he was planning to lift his popularity, he also aimed to get to know more talented people so that he could recruit them to expand his own team. After setting foot in Eastern Region, he had been going around and challenging young people below the age of 100. He had yet to be defeated, and his team was unstoppable. When he heard that the owner of the phoenix bloodline was in the Jiuyang Sect, he was overjoyed and wanted to recruit her.

If it were in the past, Jiang Ming might be scrupulous, but after obtaining the Extreme Path Experience Card, he did not care so much anymore. Unfortunately, the Extreme Path Experience Card only lasted for three minutes, not to mention that it was a one-time use item. After using it, he wouldn’t be able to use it anymore.

‘Relationship -22, huh? He seems like someone who has some heroic ingredients in his composition, but… Oh well…’

Jiang Ming shook his head inwardly after he checked Zhou Tian’s information through the Human Paths Record.

That being said, he was not going to let him off so easily since he had the nerves to set his eyes on his Junior Sister.

‘Compete with young people below the age of 100? 100 years old is still considered a young person?’ Jiang Ming was confused.

This was one fascinating aspect of the cultivation world. One could increase their lifespan through cultivation. Therefore, a person under the age of 100 could still be considered a young person as well.

His face sank after he heard what Zhou Tian said. However, he did not step forward. He had faith in his Junior Sister that she could handle the situation, but in the case where the situation went out of her control, he would step in.

“Hah! How arrogant!” Zi Linglong commented coldly, “You did something wrong, so it’s only right and natural for you to apologize, but now you want to use it as a bet? You will apologize if I can defeat you, and I have to come with you if you win the match? Who do you think you are?”

Zhou Tian’s face turned ugly and an intense murderous intent appeared in the depth of his eyes.

He was a prince, and his status was comparable to that of a Holy Son. He had never been insulted like this before in his life.

‘She’s just a little girl. Who does she think she is?’ he thought. Be that as it may, he was not going to lash out at her since he had his pride as a prince.

However, that was not the same case for the people behind him. One of his followers jumped and growled, “How dare you insult the prince. You must have a death wish!”

He was a martial artist in the Nascent Soul Realm, and he could not forgive Zi Linglong for the things she said to Zhou Tian.

Swoosh!

Without any hesitation, he split his sword into eight and surrounded Zi Linglong.

Gu Hai’s expression changed, Zhang Junbao clenched his fists tightly, and the Sect Master gathered his power within his body, while Jiang Ming looked at the man coldly.

Although his Junior Sister was only in the Dao Seed Realm, she had formed the Yang Dao Seed. It was immensely powerful and combined with the legacy she had acquired from The Tomb of Extreme Path, even if she couldn’t kill the man, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to defend herself.

Zi Linglong summoned a sword in her hand without any hesitation. She brandished it in an upward slash, and nine globes of sun appeared in the air.

The intense heat released by the suns distorted the air and seemed to be able to burn everything down.

After effortlessly deflecting the man’s attack, she continued to dash toward him.

“Oh no!”

The man’s expression changed. He wanted to run, but he was surrounded by the nine globes of sun. It was already too late to activate his special abilities, so he could only resort to using his armor to protect himself.

Bam!

Zi Linglong’s sword landed on the man, causing his armor to glow brightly as he was sent flying away.

Zi Linglong was not going to show any mercy.

She closed the distance between them in a few steps and delivered several quick blows—one stronger than the last—at the man with her sword. She was moving so fast that the crowd could barely catch her movements. All of them took a few steps back and guarded themselves. By the time they could finally see her, the fight was coming to an end.

She penetrated through the man’s armor with her sword. The nine globes of sun entered his body, and he exploded in a plume of blood mist.

Zi Linglong killed a martial artist in the Nascent Soul Realm within the blink of an eye. It was an extraordinary feat, and the crowd was dumbfounded.

Even the Sect Master couldn’t believe what had just transpired before his eyes. He had the confidence to defeat the man, but that was all he could do. He did not think he could kill him at all. However, not only did Zi Linglong defeat him, but she also managed to kill him effortlessly. Even if the man had underestimated her, it was still very unlikely for her to kill him. Unless Zi Linglong had grown far more powerful than he had expected her to be.

“How dare you!” Zhou Tian’s eyes were burning with rage when he saw another of his followers getting killed. The gold black robe he was wearing glowed divinely and made him look even more impressive.

“How dare you kill my fellow followers again? Zi Linglong, you’ve broken the rules!”

As Zhou Tian was talking, a halberd appeared in his hand, making him look even more powerful. Rays of golden light were fanning out from the top of his head, and he looked just like a god of war.

“Rules? Did you follow our rules after you came here?” Zi Linglong turned her sword around and said, “Get the hell out of here now. Or else, this place will be your grave today!”

Jiang Ming stepped forward and patted her shoulder. “Junior Sister, you mustn’t let the demon in your heart get the best of you. It’s not good for your cultivation.”

“Did I make a mistake, Senior Brother?’ Zi Linglong turned around and asked in a soft, worried voice. The murderous aura she exuded disappeared in that instant, and she blinked her eyes as she looked at Jiang Ming.

Everyone was shocked at the sudden change.

“Nope! You didn’t do anything wrong.” Jiang Ming laughed. “As a fellow cultivator, you shouldn’t feel bad when it comes to killing. Besides, those two people made a mistake, and they deserved what they got. Of course, we shouldn’t just go around and take lives as we wish. Some of these people didn’t show any malice toward us, nor did they insult us, so we shouldn’t kill them.

“As for the 18th Prince, although he came to challenge us, if we kill him here, it will put the Jiuyang Sect in a difficult position and will affect our reputation. After all, we aren’t a devil sect, and we need to keep our name clean.

“Most importantly, we must not let them affect our feelings.

“No matter who they are or what they came for, they’re just guests and there is a probability that we might not be seeing each other again for the rest of our lives. Therefore, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself, and you must not let them affect your emotions.

“In the future, kill those who should be killed and treat it as if you’re crushing a bug. You don’t need to have any hard feelings for yourself, and you don’t have to take them too seriously!” Jiang Ming said while sighing inwardly.

It would be bad for his Junior Sister to have such a strong killing intent. Therefore, he figured that he should find a way and lead her back to the right path. After all, other than taking one’s life, they could just lock them up in a place like the Restraining Tower.

The crowd gasped when they heard what Jiang Ming said.

Although he seemed like he was lecturing Zi Linglong, it occurred to them that he was telling her to treat those people she wanted to kill like bugs so that she wouldn’t get affected after killing them.

Even Gu Hai felt a chill running down his spine.

“Okay, Senior Brother. I’ll think of them as bugs before I kill them!” Zi Linglong replied and nodded seriously.

“I’ll get rid of them now before they become bugs and affect your mood!”

“Smart girl!” Jiang Ming nodded in relief.

“This is all thanks to you, Senior Brother!” Zi Linglong replied, offering him a sweet smile.

Zhang Junbao, who was standing at the side, opened and closed his mouth several times. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back to his stomach pit in the end.

Zhou Tian was infuriated after listening to the conversation between Jiang Ming and Zi Linglong. His face was livid with rage as he hissed, “Great, this is great! Jiuyang Sect, all of you are the most brazen bunch of people I’ve ever seen!”

“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Zi Linglong said as she turned around, her face cold. “Now, back to the topic. You’re here for a challenge, yet you acted like a bully and refused to follow the rules. Not only that, but you even humiliated the owner of this land! Either you get the hell out of my face now, or I’m going to kick your *ss!”

As soon as she had finished speaking, she darted straight toward Zhou Tian. She lifted her sword and the nine globes of sun once again appeared in the sky. When they were descending, the destructive power they brought forth made people feel as if they could incinerate everything in their path, regardless of the mountain, the sea, or the sky.

“Zi Linglong!” Zhou Tian shouted fiercely, “I’m going to kill you!”

In the blink of an eye, their battle started..
