Ling Tian Sword God

After absorbing such a vast amount of lightning power, Ling Chen’s will also actively withdrew from the world of the Void Emperor’s royal decree.

His current willpower could only withstand limited pressure. If he were to encounter another lightning strike, this will would likely collapse immediately, and at that time, complete recovery would require a large amount of time. Instead, it’s better to actively withdraw.

After a brief recovery, Ling Chen once again entered the space of the Void Emperor’s royal decree.

”Thunder Cut!”

Upon the third entry into the space, Ling Chen finally transformed the Thunder Intent into a sword technique and executed it.

Terrifying currents gathered at the sword’s edge, suddenly piercing through and disappearing in the void.

Whoosh!

This sword directly split the lightning figure into two, devouring the Spirit of Lightning’s body, turning it into part of the lightning, making the Sword Energy even more powerful.

Thunder Cut was a name Ling Chen chose for this move, capable of slicing through lightning with a single cut, akin to cutting through easily.

Defeating the lower-level Spirit of Lightning, Ling Chen continued to venture into higher regions.

Sizzle!

Two Spirits of Lightning swung out countless bolts of lightning, launching an attack towards Ling Chen.

”Kill!”

Fixing his gaze on the Lightning Spirits, Ling Chen’s brow tightened, and Sword Intent shot out straight.

Whoo!

The Lightning Spirits’ movements became sluggish, visibly, a viscous lightning force dissipated from their bodies, making their originally full bodies appear somewhat ethereal, seeming like they could collapse and vanish at any moment.

After mastering Thunder Cut, Ling Chen’s survival ability in the space of the Void Emperor’s royal decree greatly increased, tripling compared to before mastering Thunder Cut. This sword technique is a powerful tool to damage the Lightning Spirits and enhance Intent.

Each time after defeating a Lightning Spirit, Ling Chen felt that not only did the Thunder Intent improve but even his willpower strengthened slightly.

Through such repeated cultivation, Ling Chen gradually entered deeper regions of the royal decree space.

The Spirits of Lightning there were stronger.

Half a month later.

Ling Chen opened his eyes.

In his pupils, it seemed as if currents were flowing.

”Thunder Intent has reached about three points.”

Ling Chen estimated the level of his Thunder Intent, achieving three points from nothing in just half a month, which was quite an impressive feat.

Notably, his True Essence of Fire was only at about five points. The improvement of Intent is inherently difficult, and this time reaching three points was all thanks to the unique space within the royal decree; otherwise, it would have taken at least three to five years.

”It’s about time to head to Panlong City and meet with the other Green Mountain Association members.”

Ling Chen brushed the dust off his body; achieving perfection with Thunder Cut would require more effort and wasn’t urgent.

Leaving the wasteland, Ling Chen rode a Flying Puppet, quickly making his way toward Panlong City.

Two days later.

Ling Chen finally reached Panlong City, which was as bustling as ever, filled with activity. As the center of the entire Southern Martial World, the number of warriors there seemed endless.

In the western district of Panlong City, there’s a rather inconspicuous tower, seven stories high, with an ancient appearance. Above the door hangs a plaque with three silver characters, ”Heavenly Secret Tower.”

Heavenly Secret Tower is a place to gather information, similar to the Black Market but more specialized. Unlike the Black Market, which interferes with many economic fields, Heavenly Secret Tower solely deals in intelligence and news. Their information network spans the world, and as long as one can afford the high price, almost no information is unobtainable.

Heavenly Secret Tower consists of three levels. Each level has its price; the first level offers ordinary information, the second level provides major Martial World events, and the third level upwards contains Martial World secrets that not everyone can access, as any random piece of information could exhaust an ordinary Sky Apex Realm Martial Artist’s fortune.

Heavenly Secret Tower has an extensive background, and even the Shen Dao Family doesn’t want to provoke them casually. If one needs information, they must go through proper channels, with no exceptions.

Invisibly, the status of Heavenly Secret Tower appears now to be more elevated.

In the main hall on the first floor of the Heavenly Secret Tower, a graceful and quietly charming woman sat on a chair behind the counter, browsing through books attentively.

A group of people walked in through the door.

Leading them were two young men, one of whom Ling Chen recognized as Tang Ze, and the other, who looked to be in his twenties. Though not particularly handsome, his build was tall and commanding. His walk exuded strength and confidence, his gaze sharp like an eagle’s, intimidating enough that just one glance could stop someone’s heart.

This person was a direct descendant of the Yangzhou Qinglong Clan, named Murong Ying, one of the few geniuses of the Azure Dragon Family, who crossed into the Sky Apex Realm at twenty-five years old. Over two years, he accumulated strength comparable to the old generation of Sky Apex Realm Strong, influential within the Prince Party, with many followers.

”Miss Yu Wei, long time no see.”

Murong Ying walked to the counter, opening a folding fan, and smiled at the charming woman.

The charming woman’s gaze moved from her book to him, saying indifferently, ”So it’s Young Master Murong. If I recall correctly, we saw each other just last month. I wonder what information Your Excellency seeks this time?”

”Burial Dragon Ancient Land!”

Closing the folding fan, Murong Ying replied cheerfully.

”Burial Dragon Ancient Land?”

The charming woman’s eyelid slightly lifted. ”Recently, quite a few have asked about the Burial Dragon Ancient Land.”

The Burial Dragon Ancient Land is a newly discovered forbidden area on the continent, located within Jingzhou, preliminarily assessed as suitable for Sky Apex Realm Strong to explore, hence why it’s attracted so much interest, especially from the younger generation, greatly intrigued by this Burial Dragon Ancient Land.

However, the charming woman didn’t ask further; Heavenly Secret Tower has its rules, they don’t inquire into guests’ affairs.

”Ten Spirit Nurturing Pills.”

The charming woman handed a scroll to Murong Ying and Tang Ze, stating coldly.

”Miss Yu Wei, fancy a cup of tea together?”

Murong Ying handed over a Jade Bottle to the charming woman, taking the scroll, and spoke cheerfully.

”Not interested.” The charming woman didn’t even glance at him, and after verifying the quantity of Spirit Nurturing Pills was correct, she resumed her work.

”No problem, there’s always tomorrow. I believe you’ll be interested eventually.” Though a tinge of displeasure flickered, Murong Ying’s face maintained a smile, speaking softly.

Immediately afterwards, he led the group away, but as they left, a cold glint suddenly emerged in his eyes.

”Hmph, just a Deacon of Heavenly Secret Tower. Sooner or later, you’ll be at my mercy!”

Murmuring softly, Murong Ying declared.

”With Murong brother’s talent, many beauties will throw themselves at him. This woman will come to her senses eventually.”

Beside him, Tang Ze spoke cheerfully.

Though they spoke this way, they dared not act against those from Heavenly Secret Tower; he was only making idle boasts.

”Is this the Heavenly Secret Tower?”

From a nearby street, Ling Chen glanced at the inconspicuous tower of the Heavenly Secret Tower. He then lifted his feet and walked over.
