With the speed of the enormous sword, it only spent close to 10 days of time to already pass through the vast Darkstone Empire and enter the territory of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
"Kid Ling Tian, where are we going now?"
Feng Wu Dao controlled the enormous sword to stop, then looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"Go to our Seven Star Sword Sect's estate first … It's over there."
Under the guidance of Duan Lingtian, Feng Wu Dao controlled the enormous sword to head all the way towards the southwest direction, and it wasn't long before he saw seven sword peaks that shot into the sky appear before his eyes.
The seven sword peaks were like seven enormous swords that were stabbed into the boundless earth, and their imposing auras were shocking as if they wanted to pierce through the boundless sky.
"Elder Brother Duan, this is the Seven Star Sword Sect's estate?"
Feng Tianwu looked down at the seven sword peaks and asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He originally thought that he would be moved by the scene, but when the seven great sword peaks appeared before his eyes, his originally surging feelings had instead instantly calmed down.
All the sorrow seemed to have transformed into boundless hatred that ceaselessly accumulated and was ready to explode out at any moment.
"Uncle Feng, Tian Wu, Elder Kong … I'll go down to look for two people, all of you wait for me here for a moment."
Duan Lingtian looked at Feng Wu Dao, Feng Tianwu, and Elder Kong as he spoke slowly.
Feng Wu Dao and Elder Kong nodded.
Whereas Feng Tianwu instead said, "Elder Brother Duan, I'll go down with you."
"Okay."
Duan Lingtian didn't refuse, and he brought along Feng Tianwu to flash through the sky before diving down to directly head towards the peak of Megrez Peak, and they descended onto the peak of Megrez Peak after a short moment.
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath as he stood at this familiar place, and he suppressed his restless feelings.
Feng Tianwu was able to discern that Duan Lingtian's mood was extremely unstable, and she sensibly didn't say anything, and silently followed by Duan Lingtian's side as if she was Duan Lingtian's shadow.
"This is where I used to cultivate."
Duan Lingtian walked to the side of the peak of Megrez Peak and stood at the edge of the cliff with his head lowered. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and see that familiar crooked tree.
Feng Tian Wu stood by Duan Ling Tian's side and looked down as well.
A moment later, she followed Duan Lingtian down from the sky. Only now did she know why Duan Lingtian said that this was the place where he used to cultivate. It turned out that on the outside of this cliff, there was actually a cave passage that led to the heart of the mountain.
At the entrance of the cave, there was a crooked tree.
"I seem to have been gone for a long time …"
Duan Lingtian stood on the crooked tree, gently stroking the branches and leaves, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
At that time, he'd noticed this place when he'd just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect.
It could be said that this place meant a lot to him. It even gave him a monstrous talent, allowing his cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds.
"Crooked tree, 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk …"
Duan Lingtian slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he'd just arrived here all those years ago.
He still remembered that when he'd just arrived, there was only a crooked tree here.
The cave passage was blocked by a layer of cliff, and it was forcefully opened by him with brute force. It was precisely because he'd opened up the cave passage that he was able to enter and find the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk, allowing him to be reborn.
Many traces of him were left behind here, and there were too many memories of him.
His Spiritual Force stretched out, and Duan Lingtian noticed the two people that were cultivating in the 10,000 Year Stalactite Cave within the cave passage at the first possible moment.
The auras of the two people weren't unfamiliar to him.
One of them was precisely the former Peak Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Alkaid Peak, and also the master of his fiancée, Kerr, Qin Xiang.
The other person was the closed door disciple of the former Seven Star Sword Sect's Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, Mo Yu.
After he noticed the two people, Duan Lingtian's face revealed a rare smile.
Suddenly.
Swish!!
A wave of wind howls that tore through the sky swept over from high above in the distance, and it grew closer and closer to a deafening sound.
"Elder Brother Duan, watch out!"
Feng Tianwu's face went grim, and with a raise of her hand, the grade three spirit whip Duan Lingtian helped refine for her appeared out of thin air, and the Origin Energy in her body raged as she was prepared to attack at any moment.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he looked towards the source of the howls of wind that grew closer and closer, and an exceedingly enormous figure appeared before his eyes.
The figure that grew clearer and clearer before his eyes caused Duan Lingtian's body to lightly tremble, and his pupils constricted as if he'd seen something unbelievable.
At this moment, Feng Tianwu who was prepared to attack withdrew the Origin Energy that raged within her body.
The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth that hadn't condensed into form in the sky above her dispersed along with this.
Because she noticed that no matter if it was Duan Lingtian or this unexpected guest, there wasn't any hostility between them after they saw each other.
"Elder Brother Duan knows it?"
As she looked at the Grand Roc that flapped its wings that were like clouds that covered the sky, Feng Tianwu thought in her heart.
In next to no time, she obtained her answer.
"Elder Peng!"
Duan Lingtian couldn't restrain his excited feelings any longer, and he cried out before his figure flashed out to instantly vanish on the spot, and when he appeared once more, he was already before the nearby Grand Roc.
The Grand Roc that appeared before Duan Lingtian now was precisely the former Sect Guarding Revered Elder of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Elder Peng!
Duan Lingtian never imagined that Elder Peng was actually still alive.
After Elder Peng sent him off that day, he turned back without hesitation and wanted to live and die with the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Originally, Duan Lingtian thought that Elder Peng and the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups had died at the hands of those old fellows from the Azure Forest Tri-Sect, yet he never imagined that Elder Peng had actually survived.
As he stood in the air before Elder Peng, Duan Lingtian's face was filled with excitement that was impossible to restrain.
"Not bad … Not bad … I'm actually unable to see through you in the slightest now. Looks like you've improved greatly in these past few years."
Elder Peng was slightly excited when he saw Duan Lingtian once more, and he spoke via voice transmission.
At that time, he and the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups had come to an agreement to send Duan Lingtian away because they felt that Duan Lingtian was the hope for the Seven Star Sword Sect to rise once more in the future.
So, the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups had risked their lives to open up a path of escape for Duan Lingtian.
Moreover, they'd smoothly sent Duan Lingtian away.
"Elder Peng, how did you survive?"
Duan Lingtian's mood gradually calmed down, and he couldn't refrain from asking.
Elder Peng was only a Void Initiation Stage demon beast and was unable to speak, so he sighed via voice transmission. "After I sent you off that time and returned, I noticed that everything had already ended … It was already meaningless for me to make a move again, so I hid myself and waited for the time when I could help you rebuild the sect in the future."
"Elder Peng, your decision was wise."
Duan Lingtian said.
"At the beginning, I was unable to wrap my head around why all the experts of my Seven Star Sword Sect would die so quickly at the hands of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect … Later on, I found out from little girl Xiang that it turned out that Zhao Ming had betrayed the sect!"
When Elder Peng spoke via voice transmission, his aged voice was filled with rage. "Later on, I'd repeatedly trespassed into the Azure Forest Tri-Sect and successively killed two of Zhao Ming's grandsons … But unfortunately, that Zhao Ming had always been hiding and didn't make an appearance. Otherwise, even if I had to risk my life, I would still take him down with me! "
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was able to sense Elder Peng's rage, and he shook his head. "Elder Peng, there's no need for you to give up your precious life for a mere Zhao Ming … Even though that Zhao Ming is still alive now, it's no different than being dead."
Zhao Ming, the Elder Ming of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Xuan Ming Elders, had already been tricked into an Inscription Formation in the Darkstone Empire by him all those years ago.
It had only been a few years, and unless an expert intervened, otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhao Ming and the other Guardian Elder of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect to escape.
"Hmm?"
Elder Peng's sharp eyes were filled with bewilderment when he heard Duan Lingtian.
After he heard Duan Lingtian's explanation, Elder Peng came to a sudden understanding, and his sharp eyes were filled with gratification. "You're really not bad … Our decision that day was right. I was wondering why Zhao Ming hadn't made an appearance all along, yet I never imagined that he'd been trapped in that Inscription Formation by you since long ago. "
"If the Sect Leader and the others knew about this, they would surely be extremely gratified."
Elder Peng spoke via voice transmission.
"Elder Peng, have there been any movements from the Azure Forest Tri-Sect recently? Do you know the reason they annihilated the Mountain Split Sect and our Seven Star Sword Sect all those years ago? "
Duan Lingtian asked Elder Peng.
Duan Lingtian had always been puzzled by the actions of the three great sects combining into the Azure Forest Tri-Sect all those years ago and annihilating the Mountain Split Sect and Seven Star Sword Sect successively.
He didn't know why the three great sects combined into one and even abandoned the independent inheritances of their respective sects to allow their sects to become history.
Elder Peng didn't have the time to speak when a voice sounded out and broke the short period of silence.
"Senior Brother!"
Suddenly, two figures had appeared on the crooked tree. One was a graceful and beautiful woman, and the other was a young man that looked to be almost 30 years old.
Presently, the young man looked at Duan Lingtian who stood nearby in midair, and he had an excited expression.
The beautiful woman revealed a gratified smile as well.
The little fellow that gathered a myriad of glories in the past had now grown to an extent that even she was unable to see through him. "After a few years, I presume he ought to have already broken through to the first level of the Void Initiation Stage."
The beautiful woman was precisely the former Peak Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Alkaid Peak, Qin Xiang.
As far as she was concerned.
Duan Lingtian being able to break through to the first level of the Void Initiation Stage now had already caused her to be extremely pleasantly surprised, and she felt that the Seven Star Sword Sect had hope of rising.
Duan Lingtian's gaze lit up when he heard this voice, and he turned around to look at the two people that stood on the crooked tree before greeting his senior, Qin Xiang, first. "Peak Master."
Besides being the former Peak Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Alkaid Peak, Qin Xiang was also the master of his fiancee, Kerr.
Thus, he'd always respected Qin Xiang.
Even if his strength had already surpassed Qin Xiang in all aspects now, it didn't reduce the respect he had towards Qin Xiang.
"You've returned."
Qin Xiang revealed a warm smile.
"Yes, I've returned."
Duan Lingtian nodded as his face revealed a smile, and then his gaze descended onto the young man beside him. "Mo Yu, long time no see … You haven't slacked off in these past few years, right?"
